MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com THE TIME L Going through the Underground at 12:15 p.m., Holt spent 14 minutes getting her meal - seven minutes waiting for her pizza and another seven minutes spent in line to pay. The long wait is one of Holt's biggest complaints about eating in the Underground. "There are no lines to certain restaurants. It's like you gather in front of a trough to fight for food," Holt said. "It's like they don't anticipate the rush." Holt said lump was the only place that prepared for the lunch rush. She also found it difficult to carry her items without trays, which were removed in Fall 2010. Norris spent 23 minutes roundtrip shopping at his local Dillons, and another five minutes packing his lunch. Dividing his shopping time over five days, Norris would spend nine and a half minutes per meal, compared to the 14 minutes Holt spent waiting in the Underground. In a semester, Norris would spend 13 hours shopping and making his lunch, while Holt would spend 20 hours waiting in line at the Underground. rots and a banana, while Holt did the same for her Underground lunch — a personal pan pepperoni pizza, breadstacks and bottle of orange juice. And if one is short on time between classes, waiting in line for a healthy meal might be more difficult. "The advantage that students have by packing their lunch is at times they might find themselves in a hurry and not have enough time to wait in line to purchase food," Sarber said. Steve Norris, a sophomore from Topeka, and Maria Holt, a junior from Pittsburg, Penn, decided to find out. Norris kept track of the cost, nutrition and time required for shopping and packing a typical lunch A turkey sandwich with cheese, yogurt, car- Both were astonished to find that packing a lunch was not only far cheaper and nutritious, but saved time overall. SACK LUNCH SACK LUNCH $3.11 x 85 days $265.35 KU DINING $8.05 x 85 days $1259.67 THE EXPENSE For Norris's typical lunch, the sum cost of the ingredients was $3.11 with tax, which would amount to $15.15 in a week and $265.35 in a semester. For Holt's Pizza Hut Combo, the cost was $8.05 with tax. At that rate, Holt would spend $40.25 in a week, and $684.25 per semester. In a whole year, packing a lunch would cost a student $1259.67. $ "You could go on a cruise for how much you would save by packing a lunch." Helt said. Norris was surprised that the Underground meal cost almost five dollars more than his packed lunch, and said it was not worth the convenience. Norris is always looking for ways to cut costs, so he tries to buy food as cheaply as possible. "I have to work for all the money I spend on food and rent, so I'm on a budget," Norris said. THE NUTRITION The calorie and fat totals for the packed lunch were 515 calories and 9 grams of fat, while the Underground lunch had 1310 calories and 41 grams of fat. "I've blown over half my daily budget of calories, and I would have to eat a very small dinner" Holt said. Holt added that she could have made the meal healthier by trading out her breadsticks for a banana, or chosen another place to eat. Ken Sarber, Public Health Educator at the University said some on campus eateries offer healthier options on the menu through the Better Bites program. Sarber also recommended avoiding soda and packing healthy snacks such as cherry tomatoes, baby carrots or grapes. For people packing a lunch, Sarber emphasized eating a balance of the food groups and appropriate portion sizes. Norris thinks most students do not bear their eating decisions on nutrition. And while his lunch might seem bland, he can always mix it up with a variety of breads, meats, fruits and vegetables. "It's a lot healthier," Norris said. "You have more freedom and choice for what you want to eat. THE BOTTOM LINE Though surprised by the comparison, Holt still plans to eat at the Underground for lunch. "It's easier to grab a lunch on the fly between classes and harder to fit a lunch bag with all my books," Holt said. Holt also said cold drinks, fresher, taster food and the extra five minutes of sleep in the morning are worth eating on campus to her. Felix Sommerville, a sophomore from Lawrence, appreciates the convenience of eating on campus as well. Norris however plans to continue packing a lunch. "The Underground is keeping me famine free since 2011," Sommerville said. "I get where people are coming from, but it's still a no brainer," Norris said. "You could be a bit more social by eating in the Underground, but I can bring my lunch there and no one's the wiser."

She works every home game at Memorial Stadium instead. Allen has found other ways to celebrate the football team — with her boobs. The Twitter account @KUboobs gained more than 500 followers this weekend as it revamped for football season, the account owner, Kevin, said. He is a former University student who asked to only be identified by Kevin because he wants the account to stand on its own.

"I feel almost privileged to have them because some women don't because of their fight with breast cancer," Allen said. "So why not share the love?" Allen said she had posted six or seven #KUBoobs pictures and plans to continue posting one for every home football game. She said she is proud of her physique and would like to see more women participating because it's a fun way to show school spirit and promote breast cancer awareness.

Obama sounds off ahead of convention ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — President Barack Obama lampooed the just-completed Republican National Convention as better-suited to an era of black-and-white TV and " trickle-down, you're on your own" economics Saturday, and declared that Mitt Romney "did not offer a single new idea" to fix the economy. "There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices, but no one actually told you what they were." Obama said in Iowa, chuckling, as he set out on a three-day tour of battleground states in the run-up to his own convention. Later, Obama said, the Republican gathering was so rooted in the past, there should have been a rabbit-ears antenna on the convention hall. Yet even the site of Obama's convention, Charlotte, N.C., served as an unwelcome reminder to the Democrats of an economy so weak that it threatens his chances for re-election. The president carried North Carolina in 2008, but the state's unemployment rate is pegged at 9.6 percent, much higher than the nation's 8.3 percent and tied with next door South Carolina for fifth from the bottom. Obama's convention opens Tuesday at the Time Warner Cable arena with evening speeches by first lady Michelle Obama and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker. The president will be nominated for a new term on Wednesday, when former President Bill Clinton also will speak. Vice President Joe Biden delivers his own acceptance speech the same evening. Obama's prime-time acceptance speech, to be delivered at the outdoor Bank of America Stadium, caps the convention on Thursday night. Aides predict a capacity crowd will hear the speech at the site, which has a capacity of nearly 74,000 for football. Democrats are taking their turn in the convention spotlight just days after the Republicans met in Tampa, Fla., to nominate former Massachusetts Gov. Romney for the White House and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to be vice president. A parade of speakers in Tampa excoriated Obama's handling of the economy, which is struggling in the weakest recession recovery of the post-World War II era. The economy has been the top-rated issue in opinion polls all year, and the president is eager to turn "I said we'd ta Laden and we Republicans "will take us backwards," Obama said, to the age of "trickle-down, you're on your own" economics that begin with tax cuts for the rich but tax increases for the middle class. The president made a brief detour to foreign policy in his speech. the focus onto Romney on that subject. "Gov. Romney had nothing to say about Afghanistan this week or the plans for the 33,000 troops who will have come home from the war by the end of this month" he said. The Republican challenger "said ending the war in Iraq was tragic. I said we'd end that war Romney said late last year, in a veterans roundtable. "The precipitous withdrawal is unfortunate. It's more than unfortunate, I think it's tragic. It puts at risk many of the victories that were hard won by the men and women who served there." Romney campaigned in Ohio during the day — the opening of ake out bin did." Obama, pointing to successes, declared, "I said we'd take out bin Laden and we did." His audience cheered the mention of the demise of the architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, who was killed in his hideout in Pakistan by U.S. Navy SEALs last year. Obama ordered the raid, and even Republicans credit him for the decision. BARACK OBAMA President and we did," Obama said.

NO PRJ ASSOCIATED PRESS MEXICO CITY — Mexico's highest electoral authority declared Friday that Enrique Pena Nieto was the legitimate winner of the July 1 presidential election, formally opening the transition to a new government despite continuing claims of fraud by the left's second-place finisher. "Mexico will have a modern, responsible presidency, open to criticism, willing to listen and take into account all Mexicans." Pena Nieto said at a ceremony in which the tribunal gave him the document certifying him as president-elect. Lopez Obrador told reporters Friday morning that he refused to recognize the election results and was calling for a peaceful protest that he described as "civil disobedience" on Sept. 9 in the Zocalo, Outgoing President Felipe Calderon called Pena Nieto to congratulate him and wish him the best for his administration that will begin when he takes office Dec. 1. Calderon "offered his support so that that administration will be successful," the president's office said in a statement. The Federal Electoral Tribunal said leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador failed to prove claims that votebuying had affected the results of the vote that returns the former autocratic ruling party to Mexico's highest office after a 12-year absence. Pena Nieto, 46, insists his Institutional Revolutionary Party, the PRI, has changed. In the final decades of the 20th century, its rule was marked by corruption, vote fraud and periodic economic crises. "I am telling the people of Mexico that I cannot accept the judgment of the electoral tribunal that declared the presidential election valid," Lopez Obrador said at a news conference. "The elections were not clean, free and genuine. As a result, I will not recognize an the historic plaza in the heart of downtown Mexico City. He launched street demonstrations that paralyzed central Mexico City after he lost the 2006 vote, but widespread protests appear far less likely this time. Lopez Obrador said the electoral tribunal made an illegitimate ruling Thursday evening when it rejected the leftist's allegations of vote-buying and other campaign violations by the PRI. The seven electoral magistrates are nominated by Mexico's Supreme Court and confirmed by Congress and are widely seen as credible and non-partisan, although Lopez Obrador has alleged that several members were based in favor of the PRI. illegitimate power that's emerged as a result of vote-buying and other grave violations of the constitution and the law." Lopez Obrador said he wants the protest to respect the law, and he did not indicate that there would be a repeat of the blockades he launched in 2006. Lopez Obrador, a popular forerunner mayor of Mexico City, was able to call hundreds of thousands into the streets for campaign rallies, and he retains a large and fervent base of support in the capital. But Pena Nieto's margin of more than 3 million votes was far wider than the few hundred thousand votes that cost Lopez Obrador the last presidential vote, and many opponents' outrage at Pena Nieto's win appears to have largely faded since the July 1 vote. By Friday afternoon, there were a few scattered protests around the capital by Lopez Obrador sympathizers, including a brief blockage of highway toll booths by a group of students. ASIA JAYA ASSOCIATED PRESS Vorayuth Yoovidhya, a grandson of late Red Bull founder Chaleco Yoovidhya, is taken by a plain-clothes police officer for investigation Monday in Bangkok, Thailand. Vorayuth, believed to be in his late 20s, is suspected of driving a Ferrari that struck and killed a policeman and then dragged the officer's body down a Bangkok street in an early-morning hit-and-run. Red Bull heir faces charges after deadly hit-and-run "A policeman is dead. I can't let this stand. If I let this case get away, I'd rather quit," he told reporters. "I don't care how powerful they are. If I can't get the actual man in this case, I will resign." BANGKOK— A grandson of the creator of the Red Bull energy drink has been arrested for driving a Ferrari that struck a police officer and dragged his dead body down a Bangkok street in an early-morning hit-and-run, police said Monday. Vorayath did not speak to the media but the family lawyer said the family will take responsibility for the damages. Police took Vorayuth Yoovid hya, 27, for questioning after tracing oil streaks for several blocks to his family's gated estate in a wealthy neighborhood of the Thai capital. Bangkok's top police official, Lt. Gen. Comronwit Toopgrajank, said he took charge of the investigation after a lower-ranking policeman initially tried to cover up the crime by turning in a bogus suspect. Comronwit himself led a team of officers to search the compound of late Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhaya, one of Thailand's wealthiest men before he passed away this year, and confiscated a Ferrari with a badly damaged front bumper and broken windshield. The Yoyovidhaaya family was ranked the 4th richest in Thailand this year by Forbes magazine, with a net worth of $5.1 billion. Red Bull creator Chaleo Yoyovidhaya died in his 80s in March, leaving his heirs a wide range of businesses, including shares in the globally popular energy drink brand, hospitals and real estate. He was facing charges of causing death by reckless driving and escaping an arrest by police but was released on a 500,000 baht ($15,900) bail. Vorayath admitted he drove the charcoal gray sports car but said the police officer's motorcycle abruptly cut in front of his vehicle, said police Maj. Gen. Anuchai Lekbamroo, the lead investigator in the case. The victim, Sgt. Maj. Wichean Glanprasert, 47, was killed during a motorcycle patrol before dawn. Thai media reported that the car dragged the officer and his motorcycle for several dozen feet as it sped through the residential neighborhood. Comronwit said he suspended the police officer who attempted to subvert the investigation. The family also co-owns the sole authorized importer of Ferrari cars in Thailand. AFRICA lalalaooor ASSOCIATED PRESS Fatma Nabil reads out the headlines wearing a headscarf on the noon news bulletin on state television in Cairo, Egypt. Nabil is the first female Egyptian news presenter to appear on state television wearing a veil after the Islamist-dominated government lifted an effective ban that had been in place for decades under secular-leaning regimes of the past. Half century ban on veils ends CAIRO — A female Egyptian news presenter appeared on state television wearing a veil for the first time on Sunday after the Islamist-dominated government lifted an effective ban that had been in place for decades under secular-leaning regimes of the past. The ban on female news readers wearing the Islamic veil had long been criticized even by liberals and human rights activists as an infringement on personal freedoms particularly in a country where more than half of all adult women cover their heads. However, it was the latest move by authorities under new Islamist President Mohammed Morsi to make sweeping changes in state-controlled media. Just a few weeks ago, the Islamist-dominated upper house of parliament or Shura Council, shuffled editors of state-run media and most of the 50 new appointees were either Islamists or their sympathizers. Egypt's journalists' union has accused Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group of trying to make the media its mouthpiece. The ban on veils, enforced by state television for the half century it has been in existence, ended with the noon news bulletin when Fatma Nabil read out the headlines wearing a cream-colored headscarf and a dark suit. Nabil worked for a year in the Muslim Brotherhood TV network Misr 25 after she was barred by state TV from appearing on air because of her veil. With Morsi's election and the appointment of the new Information Minister, Salah Abdel-Maksoud of the Muslim Brotherhood, she said she was given the "green light" to come back to state TV.

MOPC MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Such dialogue seems sadly appropriate for a movie so taken with its own entrails. Hamstrung by faux profundity and clunky, one-note performances, "Cosmopolis" represents a rare creative misfire for Cronenberg, the Canadian auteur best known for a string of veneeral sci-fi classics and his 2005 masterpiece "A History of Violence." The majority of "Cosmopolis" takes place aboard Packer's luxurious white limousine; its cerulean, coffin-shaped interior playing host to a revolving door of bodyguards, business associates, whores and a urologist tasked with administering the paranoid Packer's daily prostate exam. Every passenger speaks in the same oblique monotone, pontificating on subjects ranging from the meaning of the word "airport" to the metaphysical implications of where all the limos go at night. This charming cycle is then repeated ad nauseam for nearly two hours. Difficulty Level ★ PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER Director David Cronenberg, left, and actor Robert Pattinson attend the Cosmopolitan Germany amnience at Cinema International, in Berlin, Germany on May 31, 2012. Like the rambling half-wit cousin of "American Psycho," the film aspires to reveal the inhuman void at the heart of corporate America, represented in the alarmingly pale personage of Eric Packer, a Wall Street whiz kid whose soul has been deadened by years of sex, marriage and other futile business transactions. Deciding that he really just needs a haircut, Packer embarks on a daylong pilgrimage across a New York City plagued by traffic jams from a presidential visit, the funeral of a popular hip-hop artist and an Occupy-style street protest. 9/03 'Cosmopolis' final rating:★★ Cronenberg's critics are quick to deride his films as soulless and clinically detached from their characters, yet his best work contains intimately scaled portraits of humanity, where moral corrosion The film's actors struggle to give life to these moody, motormouthed marionettes. Pattinson, clearly eager to hang up the hair gel and vampire glitter, seems well suited to play the preening, emotionally stunted Packer, yet his lines often feel as if they were delivered between yawns. He showed far more promise in last year's soapy but sweet "Water for Elephants." Red Lyon Tavern Mathieu, Amalric, Juliette Binoche, Samantha Morton and a slew of other reliable performers duck in and out of the story without consequence. Only Paul Giamatti manages to make an impact as Benno, a neurotic assassin convinced that his genitals are receding into his abdomen. His scene with Pattinson forces the younger performer to reach beyond his usual arsenal of sideways glances and postured mumblings. is often expressed through physical decay and transformation. His celebrated remake of "The Fly," released at the height of the AIDS pandemic, powerfully captured the horror of bodily betrayal with stark, unadorned sympathy. "Cosmopolis," however, contains no human characters for him to engage with, only chattering archetypes with heads firmly planted up their own asymmetrical anuses. — Follow McDonald on Twitter: @McMovieMan TRAGEDY | | 2 | | | 1 | 4 | | 3 | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 8 | | | 5 | | 7 | | | 2 | | | | 6 | | | | 9 | | | | 2 | 3 | | | 7 | | | 9 | | | 1 | | | | | | | | 4 | | | 8 | | | 2 | | | 6 | 5 | | | | 1 | | | | 5 | | | | 3 | | | 6 | | 8 | | | 9 | | | 7 | | 3 | 5 | | | 2 | | QR code CHECK OUT A MOVIE PODCAST 'Green Mile' actor dead at 54 udkne.ws/PxDLuc ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Michael Clarke Duncan, the hulking, prolific character actor whose dozens of films included an Oscar-nominated performance as a death row inmate in "The Green Mile" and such other box office hits as "Armageddon," "Planet of the Apes" and "Kung Fu Panda," is dead at age 54. $ \textcircled{2} 0 1 2 $ Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

POLITICS Romney, Ryan shine at convention While the Romney speech was the crescendo of the three-day event, as it should be, the convention was marked by several other important speakers. Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan and Chris Christie all gave strong speeches. Which is very exciting for any Republican, keeping in mind that these three men could all make a run at the presidency in the years to come. Ryan's speech, in particular, left a lasting impression on me. His speech, while clearly a lead-up to Romney's speech, was an unabashed challenge to President Obama's futility to steer the country out of the old drums. He is wholly Midwestern and wholly committed to his principles. He mentioned his I like to think that C. Weis created the pre-game playlist. The Republican National Convention was the first opportunity for most Americans to get to know the Romney and Ryan ticket. And despite the unnecessary criticism of an empty chair, the convention in Tampa was a successful one. To the girl wearing Kentucky sweatpants on campus: It's too soon. It's way, way too soon. hometown of Janesville, Wis. and effectively used its economic plight to tell the story of America's economic stall in the four years of the Obama administration. "Our rights are given by God and nature, not by the government," Ryan said. However, the best line from the Ryan speech was one that brought the house to its feet. We are owed our rights through the Constitution that we used to create our government. We, citizens of this great country, have granted the government the right to govern us it isn't the other way around. As expected, Thursday was the main event. Former Governor Mitt Romney was expected to introduce himself to the American public. And following a strange speech from Clint Eastwood, Romney did just that. Romney's speech highlighted what will make him a wonderful contrast to President Obama. Contrary to his opponent's style, By Billy McCroy bmccroy@kansan.com Romney doesn't enjoy talking about himself and displaying his character to paper over the cracks in his policies. Romny is unable to match the level of oration that our president possesses; however, Rommy is a hard worker. Taking a shift in dealing with his corporate past, Romney highlighted how he helped build an investment firm into one of the largest in the country. And it is that history that truly sets him apart from President Obama. Romney has experience in getting companies off the ground, who better to lead us in these dark days of mass unemployment? Romney's speech shed some light on what he plans to make the focal point of the last two months of the campaign. He is concerned with getting Americans back to work and contrasting his hardworking mentality with that of the souring rhetoric of President Obama. Perhaps the best line from Romey's speech was a play on a speech Obama gave after receiving the Democratic nomination. "President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet," Romney said, to laughter around the arena. "My promise is to help you and your family." that - and Americans should be concerned with how their leaders plan to correct things. And that is a perfect characterization of the kinds of men that are vying for President of the United States. We're in the middle of the most sluggish "recovery" since World War II, unemployment is stuck around 9 percent - the true measure of the amount of Americans out of work, the labor participation rate, is even higher than President Obama wants to apologize to the world for our previous actions and secure lucrative opportunities for friends of the administration - Solyndra anyone? - while crumbling the rule of law, Mitt Romney wants to address our soaring debt, a point in which Romney correctly criticized Obama's predecessor, and get Americans back to work. Both presidential hopefuls are campaigning their plans; however, only one of them has four years of mistakes and failed policies to answer to. Romney has a history as someone who creates jobs and builds companies, Obama has a history as a community activist and criticizing America's entrepreneurs. SPORTS Lance Armstrong, cheater and champ McCroy is a senior majoring in economics from Des Moines, Iowa. You can follow him on Twitter @ Billy McCroy. We all grew up watching the great road racing cyclist Lance Armstrong, or The Boss, or Big Tex. Some of you may even have a personal connection with him being he is from the Dallas, TX area. He has been an American hero for so many years and he has become one of our generation's greatest athletes. By Ben Carroll bcarroll@kansan.com Armstrong won seven Tour de France titles in a row from 1998-2005. He is a cycling world champion and a US national cycling champion. But he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1996 and many thought his career was over. He was able to treat his cancer and become arguably the best cyclist ever. And every American loved him. There is just one problem to this heroic story: he was accused of taking performance-enhancing drugs, which is against the rules of a road racing cyclist. He is accused of cheating and just recently gave up his fight to prove his innocence. With these allegations against him, where exactly is Lance Armstrong's position in American society now? Is he still an American hero or just a plain cheater? Did he take the steroids to help him get back on track after the cancer or were his intentions to cheat just to become the best? It is kind of hard to have respect for cheaters, especially when they cheated to win most of their titles. Armstrong didn't just cheat for himself but he allegedly distributed doping products to others for their own use. He didn't take his career seriously and he skewed the final results to many big time races. Some may argue that he is now looked at as a cheater rather than an American icon. professional baseball and still holds the homerun record. And Pete Rose, the all-time hit leader, has been accused of betting on baseball, which is also against the rules. But they both still hold their records today. If they can keep their accomplishments shouldn't Lance keep his? Others still have respect for him and still look at Armstrong as a hero. Some might argue that he should keep all of these records and titles. Barry Bonds was accused of taking steroids while playing So I guess the decision is up to you, is he still an American icon or is his legacy completely disintegrated? Well, the United States Anti-Doping agency disagrees. The USADA decided to strip the current all time Tour de France record holder of his accomplishments. He has been sanctioned of all the results he recorded from 1998-today. I guess in the end you can look at Lance Armstrong as a hero and a cheater. He is a hero to some because he beat his cancer and then went on to make something of himself, but as an athlete point of view he is still a cheater. I think his foundation, LiveStrong, will live on but considering him a great cyclist is likely ruined. Carrol is a junior majoring in English from Salem, Conn. Follow him on Twitter @CARROL91.

' DANA JENNER AND KATHARINE HUGHES @UDK Opinion by getting a nice nap in so I could celebrate the win afterwards! 1 @Lady S KU DATING Overcoming the myth of bad timing We're constantly making excuses for our relationships or relationships or lack thereof. Even when we know something is wrong, we don't want to face it. And consequently, we fool ourselves into believing ridiculous ideas to protect our hearts and then get caught in a haze of delusion that can get so thick it can leave us blind. Point blank, it's a myth. And you shouldn't buy it. Excuses like "he's just busy" or "she's about to leave him, I can tell" are obvious. But one that isn't as easily identified is "bad timing." Kevin was friendly, sociable, and totally gorgeous. He seemed great, but my timing wasn't. Just days before I met him, my then-boyfriend and I became official. Our relationship wasn't very strong, but it lasted the rest of the semester and into the next school year. So between Kevin and I, there was nothing. As the semester wore on, my feelings subsided, so I just let it be. Occasionally I would wonder about it again when my relationship with my boyfriend got rocky, but I never pursued Kevin. Then we eventually lost contact, and that was it. People say that even if a relationship could be good, bad timing could ruin the whole thing. But timing is never actually a deal-breaker. Already being in a relationship was inconvenient with Kevin, but if love really conquers all, I would have dumped my new boyfriend and taken a chance in confessing to Kevin. But then I didn't. And in the end what I had with my beau was just lust anyway. However, I still wasn't willing to gamble with a new guy after hitting the jackpot with another. Not about to take a risk and put all I had into Kevin, my heart pressed Cash Out, and my boyfriend I kept dating. I didn't think the odds were good with Kevin in the first place, so I backed out when I could and kept my winsions — at least for a while. In dating, the issue of bad timing is rarely a single occurrence. Bad timing is common, but its frequency trains people to believe that it's just an inconvenient coin- @AmandaDenise13 By Rachel Keith rkeith@kansan.com citience rather than something we use as an excuse to not take the plunge and enter a new relationship, especially when we already have one like I did. By no means am I denying that bad timing can be a barrier. Sometimes people are already in relationships. Sometimes people are about to move. I get that. But it's important to honestly evaluate the reasons why those elements are really stopping us from dating someone. The truth hurts, but it's better than scrambling for an excuse like timing to not date someone. Being able to rationalize feelings is crucial, and we all need to learn to take the heat. It'll save us time and angst. A few days later we wound up downtown again. Kevin and I stayed out late having a four-hour conversation, and it was if we hadn't lost contact in the first place. After over two years with no contact, I recently ran into Kevin at a bar. He looked exactly the same as he did when we were sophomores: tall and skinny with tennis shoes, a nice watch and a quirky smile. He said he was moving to South America and only had a week left in Lawrence, so we planned to see each other one more time. This time I had a different boyfriend. When Kevin left I thought about how I never seemed to run into him at the right time. I smiled and laughed at the idea and wondered if anything would have happened two years ago if I wasn't dating someone already, and also if I had the courage to say something. But this time it didn't matter, because I was in love with my current, and my timing with him was just perfect. @UDB_K_Opinion By working at Victoria's Secret Nothing says football like bras and panties!

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN POLITICS Obama speaks in Iowa ahead of DNC AFFILIATED WITH RUSSIA ASSOCIATED PRESS President Barack Obama speaks during a campaign stop in Sioux City, Iowa on Saturday. The Democratic National Convention began yesterday in Charlotte, N.C. ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — President Barack Obama lampooned the just-completed Republican National Convention as better-suited to an era of black-and-white TV and "trickle-down, you're on your own" economics Saturday, and declared that Mitt Romney "did not offer a single new idea" to fix the economy. "There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices, but no one actually told you what they were." Obama said in Iowa, chuckling, as he set out on a three-day tour of battleground states in the run-up to his own convention. Later, Obama said, the Republican gathering was so rooted in the past, there should have been a rabbit-ears antenna on the convention hall. Yet even the site of Obama's convention, Charlotte, N.C., served as an unweloved reminder to the Democrats of an economy so weak that it threatens his chances for re-election. The president carried North Carolina in 2008, but the state's unemployment rate is pegged at 9.6 percent, much higher than the nation's 8.3 percent and tied with next door South Carolina for fifth from the bottom. Obama's convention opens Tuesday at the Time Warner Cable arena with evening speeches by first lady Michelle Obama and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker. The president will be nominated for a new term on Wednesday, when former President Bill Clinton also will speak. Vice President Joe Biden delivers his own acceptance speech the same evening. evening. Obama's prime-time acceptance speech, to be delivered at the outdoor Bank of America Stadium, caps the convention on Thursday night. Aides predict a capacity crowd will hear the speech at the site, which has a capacity of nearly 74,000 for football. Democrats are taking their turn in the convention spotlight just days after the Republicans met in Tampa, Fla., to nominate former Massachusetts Gov. Romney for the White House and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan to be vice president. A parade of speakers in Tampa excoriated Obama's handling of the economy, which is struggling in the weakest recession recovery of the post-World War II era. The economy has been the top-rated issue in opinion polls all year, and the president is eager to turn the focus onto Romney on that subject. republicans "will take us backwards." Obama said, to the age of "trickle-down, you're on your own" economics that begin with tax cuts for the rich but tax increases for the middle class. The president made a brief detour to foreign policy in his speech. "Gov. Romney had nothing to say about Afghanistan this week or the plans for the 33,000 troops who will have come home from the war by the end of this month," he said. The Republican challenger "said ending the war in Iraq was tragic. I said we'd end that war and we did." Obama said. Romney said late last year, in a veterans roundtable, "The precipitous withdrawal is unfortunate. It's more than unfortunate. I think it's tragic. It puts at risk many of the victories that were hard won by the men and women who served there." Obama, pointing to successes, declared, "I said wed take out bin Laden and we did." ist attacks, who was killed in his hideout in Pakistan by U.S. Navy SEALs last year. Obama ordered the raid, and even Republicans credit him for the decision. Romney campaigned in Ohio during the day — the opening of the college football season — and proclaimed it was time the country had a winning season after years of a sluggish economy and high unemployment. Referring to the number of jobless in the country, Romney told his own cheering crowd. "If you have a coach that's zero and 23 million, you say it's time to get a new coach." He also pledged to cut the federal deficit and "get us on track for a balanced budget." ADMINISTRATION ASSOCIATED PRESS LAWRENCE, Kan. — University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little will be able to keep her eyes on her work instead of the road when a newly hired part-time driver begins taking her to and from some out-of-town appointments Retired Douglas County sheriff's deputy Robin Moore has been hired for the job and will start Sept. 10 on an as-needed basis at a salary of $20 per hour, Mary Burg, the chancellor's executive assistant, told The Lawrence Journal-World . Gray-Little will still drive herself around Lawrence and to some out-of-town appointments, so Moore's probable schedule POLICE so Moores remains unknown. But Burg said the university is estimating he'll work about 15 hours a week. Gray-Little "We're trying this out.

"We're trying this out. We've never done this "We're not paying (the chancellor) to circle the block 20 times looking for a parking spot," McKechnie said. Jack Martin, a University of Kansas spokesman, said the driver will be used primarily when the chancellor has more than one appointment in a day in the Kansas City area.

Regent Ed MARY BURG the chancellor's executive assistant before, so we don't know how many hours this will end up being." know how many hours this will end up being," she said. Gray-Little will use the driver chiefly for the roughly 80-mile round trips to KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., where she spends at least one day a week. She also travels to the university's Edwards Campus in Overland Park, about 30 miles from Lawrence. in Kansas City, KU had been hiring a car service for the chancellor at $100 per hour. McKechnie said regents to encourage Kansas State President Kirk Schulz and Fort Hays State President Ed Hammond to make use of university aircraft to cut down on travel time, though neither has a driver. "At least for the airport travel, that's going to save some money," Burg said. three, though he met officials at the University of Iowa, the University of Missouri and Iowa State University all said that they do not employ drivers for their university leaders. But Martin said Gray-Little had heard from peers at the University of Texas-Austin and the University of Virginia who did use drivers.

GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com CLEVELAND, OHIO -- A woman holds out a toy to a dog as it jumps in the water. Two local dog owners play with their dog at the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center. Despite the rain, hundreds of dogs and their owners attended the event, which occurs every year on Labor Day Weekend when the pool closes for the year. Lawrence residents are used to the shouts and laughter of children at the swimming pool, but on Friday night, children's laughter was replaced by something else – barking dogs. TARA BRYANT/ KANSAN Lawrence dog owners refuse to let the fallout from Hurricane Isaac stop them from attending the annual Pooch Plunge at the Lawrence Aquatic Center Friday afternoon. Hundreds of dogs and their owners attended the event, which occurs every year on Labor Day Weekend when the pool closes for the year. The Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center invited dog owners to bring their pets to the pool on the final evening before it closes for the season during their 10th annual Pooch Plunge. "He'll actually go under the water and find the Frisbee," Ritchie said of Chema's favorite game, which they play every night. "He's Last year, 350 dogs participated in the event. Rachel Sullivan, the pool's aquatics programmer, said this year's goal was 400 dogs. Although a steady rain lowered the total to 189 dogs this year, Sullivan said she was happy with the turnout. Holley Ritchie said this is the second year she brought her 3-year-old Spanish water dog, Chema, to the event. a real Frisbee freak." Another Lawrence resident, Katie McCauley, brought her cocker spaniel. She bought her dog two days after the Jayhawks' 2008 NCAA tournament championship, so she named it in honor of a Kansas basketball legend. "Her full name is Mary O. Chalmers, but she goes by Chalmers," McCaulle said. Lawrence 10 years ago, when the city manager heard about another city hosting a pooch plunge. Sullivan said the pool is treated to make it safe for dogs. The pool charged $5 per dog, which goes into the pool's operating budget. The event started in "They actually take the chlorine levels down to have less chlorine than drinking water does so that it is safe for the dogs," Sullivan said. The Lawrence Humane Society brought a few of dogs that were eligible for adoption to the plunge. The program, which is a no-kill organization, takes dogs from the street or from owners who can no longer care for their pet. Humane Society volunteer, Melody Stewart brought Fletcher, a black Labrador Retriever, to the pool. She said it costs between $50 and $75 to adopt a dog, depending on the breed. "The ones that come in, they have to go through a behavioral test to see how they do with other dogs, other animals, people," Stewart said. "Then we assess them, OK, are they ready for adoption, are they not?' Most of them after that are." Edited by Allison Kohn WEATHER Hurricane Isaac further batters storm stricken coast ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — Much of a finger-shaped parish southeast of New Orleans was still covered with floodwater Sunday and more than 200,000 people across Louisiana still didn't have any power, five days after Isaac ravaged the state. Thousands of evacuees remained at shelters or bunked with friends or relatives. "My family is split up," said Angela Serpa, from severely flooded Braithwaite in Plaquemines Parish. Serpa and her daughter were staying with her in-laws while her husband and son were staying in Belle Chasse, a suburban area of the parish. "This is the second time we've lost our home. We lost it in Katrina," she said. At least seven people were killed in the storm in the U.S. — five in Louisiana and two in Mississippi. More than 2,800 people were registered at various state, local and Red Cross shelters in the state, down from around 4,000 earlier. State officials were uncertain how many people would eventually need longer-term temporary housing. Kevin Davis, head of the state's emergency office, said that housing would likely include hotels at first, then rental homes as close as possible to their damaged property. "We are part of a team to make sure Hurricane Isaac is put to rest as soon as we can for all those affected," Napolitano said. "In the meantime, please know all of us are thinking about those in Louisiana who are without their homes or without their businesses." President Barack Obama was to visit Louisiana Monday, a day ahead of the Democratic National Convention. He will meet with local officials, tour storm damage and view response and recovery efforts before addressing reporters at Saint John the Baptist Parish, the White House said, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney visited the state Friday. Obama's Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano, visited Bay St. Louis, Miss., and Slidell, La., on Sunday. Progress was evident in many places. Workers continued their return to offshore oil and gas production platforms and drilling rigs, electricity came on for hundreds of thousands of people and the annual Southern Decadence Festival, a gay pride celebration, carried on in the French Quarter In Baton Rouge, thousands of gamblers even gathered for the opening of Louisiana's newest riverboat casino—an opening that was delayed three days by Isaac. Crews in the town of Lafitte intentionally breached a levee Sunday night in an effort to help flooding there subside, Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts told The Times-Picayune. In the New Orleans region, there were signs of a slow recovery. Workers continued to deal with toppled trees and downed power lines, driving remained hazardous in areas without working traffic lights, and New Orleans opened two cooling shelters so those with no electricity could escape the heat. Much of Plaquemines Parish, a vulnerable finger of land that juts into the Gulf of Mexico, remained under as much as five feet of water, Parish President Billy Nungesser said. The Category 1 hurricane walloped the parish, and for many, "I've never seen water come up this quick this fast." the damage was worse than that from Katrina in 2005. Nungesser said there were reports that cattle in the largely rural parish took refuge on porches. In one instance, cattle broke through a window and lumbered onto furniture to stay above water. the Pearl River Diversion Canal. But St. Tammany authorities also were keeping an eye on the West Pearl River. Parish spokeswoman said about 5,000 homes near that waterway could be affected if it floods. "I've never seen water come up this quick this fast," he said. BILLY NUNGESSER PLAQUEMINES PARISH RESIDENT Suburban communities farther north also had problems. Near Lake Pontchartrain, St. Tammany Parish officials kept watch over potential trouble spots along Isaac-swollen waterways. Business owners and residents who evacuated from the west river bank of flooded south Plaque-mines Parish will be allowed to return temporarily with police escorts on Monday. Controlled breaches of one overtopped levee and additional pumps are being used to get rid of the water. But St. James Parish officials ordered a curfew until 6 a.m. Monday as the Blind River stayed at a 5.6-foot crest for 24 hours, and about 20 houses flooded. A state news release said 10 buses had been sent to the parish in case evacuation was necessary, and that about 150 National Guard soldiers had also been directed there. An evacuation near the community of Bush was dialed back Sunday after authorities stabilized a lock in danger of failing on In Mississippi, Gov. Phil Bryant reported 125,000 people were evacuated, though most returned home Sunday. Less than 100 people remained in shelters. Bryant said 924 people had to be rescued during Isaac. Entergy, which provides power to most of the people who lost it, was under fire over the weekend from local government officials for what they said was a slow pace of restoration. Jefferson Parish President John Young said widespread outages were hampering businesses' recovery from the storm and he would ask the state Public Service Commission to investigate. "We are working hard. We do have a good plan and we're going about it in an approach that we think is going to be effective," Laarade said. Entergy spokesman Chanel Lagarde noted that Isaac had lingered over the state after Tuesday's landfall and said Friday was the first day the corporation could get restoration efforts into high gear. In Mississippi, about 1,600 Entergy customers awaited power. Roughly 5,000 served by not-for-profit electric associations also had no service. Napolitano met with Mississippi emergency officials and Bryant at a fire station in Bay St. Louis, Miss., and was scheduled to make a stop in Louisiana later in the day. Bay St. Louis was devastated by Katrina seven years ago, but this time it was protected from Isaac's surge by a new seawall. 1814 W, 23rd Lawrence, KS 843-6000 75¢ Off Any Sub Not Valid with any other offers Vello Sub ASSOCIATED PRESS 3614 3614 A mailbox peeks above floodwaters from Hurricane Isaac in Braithwaite, La., Sunday.

But what if, for one day, we could see our favorite athletes don a new uniform and take on an unfamiliar sport? Here are five athletes I'd like to see make the switch. RAY LEWIS: NFL LINEBACKER FOR THE BALTIMORE RAVENS For what will be 17 NFL seasons, Ray Lewis has been the most intimidating and hardest hitting backer in the league. There's not a scarier player in the game. If you were to ask me to name one player that I could never see wearing a Speedo and doing a choreographed routine in a pool, he would be my pick. I can almost guarantee it wouldn't look very good, but man, would it be funny. By Jonathan Rosa jrosa@kansan.com BILLY HAMILTON: MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER IN THE CINCINNATI REDS ORGANIZATION Track Field Billy Hamilton recently broke the record for most steals in a minor league season with 146. He now has 154 stolen bases through 128 games, and there's still plenty of season left. With his speed and acceleration, he'll be one of the fastest players in Major League Baseball when he gets called up from AA. I want to see what this guy can do when he doesn't have to stop every time he reaches a base. BLAKE GRIFFIN: NBA FORWARD FOR THE LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS Horse Racing At 6-foot-10, Blake Griffin doesn't really fit the mold of the prototypical jockey. This is exactly why I'd love to see him saddled atop a horse in full jockey attire. His size wouldn't help with the aerodynamics of the sport, but it would be quite the spectacle. GIANCARLO STANTON: MLB PLAYER FOR THE MIAMI MARLINS Volleyball It's pretty obvious Giancarlo Stanton would be good at whatever sport he plays, especially basketball or football. There are few players out there that can hit a home run as far as he can. With the size, power, and speed he showcases on the field every day, I think he'd make for a pretty good volleyball player too. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a Stanton spike. KU USAIN BOLT: JAMAICAN SPRINTER Obviously speed is the biggest and only factor, in wanting to see him on a baseball diamond. I don't care if he can't hit, throw or field—just use him in pinch running situations. Not only could he get into scoring position every time, his team would never hit into a double play again. That's because before the pitcher lets go of the ball, Bolt would already be on second base. Talk about a threat on the base paths. —Edited by Luke Ranker This week in athletics Tuesday Wednesay Women's Volleyball UMKC 6:30 p.m. Lawrence A Thursday No events scheduled No events scheduled Friday --- GIRLHAWK SCHOOL Women's Soccer Missouri State 5 p.m. Lawrence Women's Volleyball College of Charleston 11.30 a.m. Lawrence BEST BUY Women's Volleyball Arizona State 7:30 p.m. Lawrence Saturday RKC 增 Women's Volleyball Wyoming 6:30 p.m. Lawrence Sunday B2 Women's Soccer NC State 12:00 p.m. lawrence Men's Golf Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational All Day Colorado Springs, Colo Monday SOCCER Men's Golf Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational All Day Colorado Springs, Colo NICOLE EVANS Jayhawks shutout Creighton in Friday's game nevans@kansan.com Javhawks. Relentless rainfall, strong winds and questionably-absent whistles from the referees all played factors in Friday's game against Creighton, but none of them were strong enough to deter the will and perseverance of the Jayhawks, as they came out on top 3-0. The match marked the third straight victory at home for the Jayhawks, improving their record to 4-1 on the season. The victory was also a milestone for head coach Mark Francis, as the match was his 150th career win with the It also was the third shutout in a row for senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau and the team, a feat Kansas has not completed since the 2009 season. "We got a shutout and that's what we wanted. We knew he had to be solid back there with the conditions, so we're really proud of that," said senior defender/midfielder Shelby Williamson. Defensively, the team was a brick wall, allowing Creighton only four attempts on goal. Liebtrau had to stop a single shot to secure the 11th shut-out of her career. After the match both Williamson and coach Francis mentioned how important gettins outwore for the team, as they struggled last season with giving up goals. "One of the things we focused on coming into the season, we had to make sure we didn't give up as many goals as we did last year," Francis said. "We dodged a couple today, but we didn't give them that many chances, which I think that is the key." The play offensively by the jayhawks was also sound despite the rough elements thrown at them, as the team came out fast and relentless to begin the game. It took four minutes of consistently hounding Creighton's goal before freshman forward Ashley Williams would capitalize on an opportunity presented from senior midfielder Amy Grow. It was the lone goal of the first half for Kansas. Yet Kansas was able to create many scoring opportunities, with 17 shots on goal in the first half alone. The Jayhawks had 26 shots total on the night, proving that their offensive was an unwavering positive factor in the game, although it took longer for their efforts to pay off in the second half. "The beginning of the second half, we were a little bit slow getting our rhythm back, because I thought in the first half, we did a great job getting the ball. Really, our midfield is the key," Francis said. "Once that midfield starts controlling the tempo of the game, we start to get our rhythm back." Williams continued her impact in the game and helped spark her team back to life in the second half after firing off a cross from the far side of the box during the 52nd minute. Junior forward/midfielder Caroline Kastor tipped in the ball, netting another goal to put Kansas ahead 2-0. The second half became more physical as the match went on. Players from both sides committed fouls out of frustration that more often than not were not called by the officiating staff, much to the dismay and disbelief of the Kansas bench. However, nothing would stand in the way of another Kansas victory, as Williams would be involved again in scoring the third and final goal of the game. Williams finished the game by finishing a cross from senior forward Nicole Christopulous late in the game at the 86th minute. — Edited by Laken Rapier KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Home housing SALE SALE for sale MEDIA ...

The Jayahwks were victorious in their match against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Friday, winning the match 3 sets to 1. GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com For the first time this year, four Kansas layhawks recorded at least 10 kills in a single match, helping the layhawks beat the Arkansas State Red Wolves 3-1 in the title match of the Kansas Volleyball Invitational. Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc led the jayhawks with 16 kills, tying a career high. She finished the tournament with 45 kills and 16 block assists, earning her tournament MVP honors. "It's great playing at home, and I just get a lot of energy when were at home," farmoc said. "Sometimes I have good offensive days and sometimes good defensive days, so I tried to work at both and get my feet and work hard." The Jayhawks led the first set by only two points, 20-18, but finished on a 5-1 run, capped by Jarmoc and junior setter Erin McNorton combining to block an Arkansas State attempt. Kansas didn't lead in the second set until a kill by jarmoc put them ahead 17-16. Kansas failed to convert set points twice, but they also fought off an Arkansas State set point three times. Momentum turned when junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael came up to serve. Carmichael had never served a live ball in collegiate play until this weekend when the Jayhawks ran out of substitutions in the fourth set against Tulsa, forcing her to serve. Like the Tulsa match, Carmichael served the ball into the net, giving Arkansas State a 29-28 advantage. Arkansas State won the next point to even the match to 1-1. Arkansas State failed to keep its momentum in the third and fourth set. After registering zero blocks in the second set, Kansas blocked three Arkansas State balls in the third set and six in the fourth. Jarmoc teamed with McNorton and freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery for many of those blocks. "We got really focused on where the outside was hitting and where the middle was hitting." Dockery said. "We were in the locker room talking about what we could have done. Then we told each other 'We know what we need to do and we need to get out there and just dominate.' A jarmoc kill gave Kansas the third set, 25-15, and senior middle blocker Tayler Toilefree registered the final kill of the match, giving the jayhawks a 25-17 fourth set victory. Besides jarmoc's 16 kills, Tolefree and sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton each had 11 kills. Carmichael had 10. going up and swinging." "Then we told each other We know what we need to do and we need to get out there and just dominate." Jarmooc was not the only Jayhawks to earn tournament honors. McNorton and McClinton were named to the all-tournament team. McNorton registered 136 assists, 21 digs and five block assists in the tournament. McClinton had 43 kills, including a career-high 22 kills against Tulsa on Friday, the Jayhawks' second opponent in the tournament. "The huge thing was just to drive aggressively," Jarmoc said. "We didn't want to be tipping and giving the other side an opportunity to pass the ball and hit it back at us. We wanted to be very terminal when we were Against Tulsa, the Jayhawks won the first set, 25-20, fueled by McNorton's 14 assists. She finished with a career-high 57 assists, and set a single-match career-high in assists for the fourth time this season. She leads the Big 12 with 267 assists. TIANA DOCKERY freshman outside hitter "She was kind of in a back up role last year, and she stays composed," coach Bechard said. "Sometimes we wonder if she's got a heartbeat out there she looks like she's about ready to take a nap. But maybe that settles everybody down and keeps everybody composed." The Jayhawks jumped out to an 11-4 lead in the second set, but Tulsa came back and took the second set 25-23, evening the match. The Jayhawks grabbed another lead in the third set, 17-6, but this time they didn't squander it, winning 25-16. McClinton paced Kansas in the fourth set with nine kills, but Kansas ran out of substitutions, leaving Carmichael to serve for the first time as a Jayhawk. Although Carmichael's serve went into the net, the Jayhawks still won the set, 27-25, and the match, 3-1. We had total chaos the last three or four points from players who hadn't served in a live match in years to players who hadn't played the positions they were playing." Bechard said. "Cathy Carmichael will be the first to tell you that she hasn't served a live ball since she's been a Jayhawk and this is her fourth year." Against Tulsa, Kansas got careerhighs from McNorton with 57 assists, McClinton with 22 kills and Carmichael with 16 kills. in their opening match against Sam Houston State on Friday afternoon, Jarmoc's career-high 16 kills helped Kansas win 3-0. The Jayhawks came back from late deficits in the first two sets. After three lead changes and seven ties, including one at 22-22, Kansas took the first set 25-23. The Jayhawks trailed again in the second set, 21-18, but four kills from Jarmoc gave Kansas a 24-21 advantage. They won the set 25-22. The third set was all Kansas, as they closed out the Bearkats 25-15. Kansas plays again tonight at 6:30 p.m. against UMKC at Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

The top four runners finished in 19-49, all within half a second of each other. The Kansas cross country teams, both men and women, accomplished what they set out to do at their home course on Saturday in the Bob Timmons Classic. As the first men's lajahawk runners approached the finish line of the Rim Rock Farm course they appeared just as assistant coach Michael Whittlesey said he wanted them to before the race — as a pack.Four runners, a half of a second separating all of them. Senior Josh Baden at the front, followed by sophomore Reid Buchanan, sophomore James Wilson and freshman Gabe Gonzalez just behind him. A pack so tight that the front four could have tripped over each other's feet. The team finished with an average of 20:04 minutes for the 6k race, 44 seconds faster than second place UMKC. Two and a half minutes faster than third place Oral Roberts. The Kansas men were in control from beginning to end. "Really ran controlled today" Whittlesey said after the meet. "That was our goal: to run together and keep control of this race. I'm really proud of them with the way they ran, especially the way they ran at the end." Three Kansas freshmen finished in the top four of the women's race, with senior Kyra Kilwein leading the pack, it was the Jayhawks controlling that race as well. Seven of the top eight spots were taken up by Kansas runners. Senior Kyra Kilwein ran to a first place finish ahead of the three freshmen Hannah Richardson, Sara Seiwald and Hayley Francis. before the race Richardson said that running as a pack had been an emphasis in every run she has had with the Kansas team this year. She finished second on Saturday, only 11 seconds behind Kilwein. There was a total of 31 seconds between the four runners, and just as it was in the men's race, less than a minute separated the seven Kansas runners. "Really one through seven we are all right there." Whittlesey said. "We can literally run as a pack of seven. The pack — Edited by Laken Rapier really isn't that far apart and that's what we really need to focus on the next eight to 10 weeks, getting that pack closer and closer together up top."

NOTES Kansas gave up a 99-yard touchdown run, missed a 35-yard field goal, only completed 17 of 36 passes while beating a FCS team. GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID Tyler Patton was in prime position to make a pick. His feet were set, hands up and the ball was pulling toward him like a magnet. Had Patton caught it he would have had six blockers running down the field ahead of him, instead the ball hit his hands and dropped to the turf. Verdict: Bad LOOKING AHEAD Kansas begins preparing for a Rice team that pushed UCLA to be better than the Owls last Saturday. Rice scored 25 points, had two passing touchdowns and gained 355 yards. Kansas will need to be able to defend the pass to come away with another win. DELAY OF THE GAME Dayne Crist, despite the reasons behind his poor play, will need to be much better going forward. After all the hype, 17-36 with an interception won't cut it when conference play starts. GAME BALL Special Teams and Defensive Backs coach Clint Bowen wins this hands down. Kansas blocked two punts, and made four interceptions, giving the offense too-good-to-be-true field position to start some of their drives. Weis said it himself, turnovers are the biggest reasons for wins and losses. Kansas won that battle because of Bowen.

For Big 12 fans who now follow West Virginia closer than before, it is hard not to be impressed with their 10-touchdown game performance. 15 TEXAS 37 - WYOMING 17 It took the Texas Longhorns a little bit of time to figure out Wyoming's style of football. Midway through the second quarter, the Longhorns began to take the game away from Wyoming as they put together four rushing touchdowns against the Cowboys. 19 OKLAHOMA STATE 84 - SAVANNAH STATE 0 Oklahoma State put up five touchdowns in the first quarter, finishing the game with 12 to defeat Savannah State in a no contest.

Tharp had six tackles during the game. Defense better, but work left to do The Kansas Jayhawks' defense started the 2012 season strong by coming up with five takeaways against South Dakota State on Saturday, contributing to the 31-17 victory. FARZIN VOUSOUGIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com Senior safety Bradley McDougald was responsible for two of the five takeaways Saturday night. McDougald picked off Jackrabbits quarterback Austin Sumner twice. McDougald's two interceptions already equates his 2011 interception total. Coach Charlie Weis was pleased with what he saw, and felt McDougald lived up to expectations. "I've been touting his horn for a while now," Weis said. "I think that he is as good of a player as we have on the team, maybe the best. You have to play that way now and he was over the place tonight. He played like a front-line safety and he has the capability of being one." McDougald is the first Jayhawk defender to record two interceptions in one game since Darrell Stuckey in 2008 against Missouri. McDougald's transformation as a safety showed on Saturday and he gives his coaches credit for helping him get to where he is today. "Coach Campo and Bowen collectively have been working with me since they got here in the spring." McDougald said. "They told me how they felt when they first got here, the impression I made on them and the news they got from the previous staff and then how I've transitioned over time." It was telling that McDougald had spent a lot of time with his coaches this offseason after an impressive showing Saturday night. His development was something his defensive coaches worked on to better prepare him for this season. "The biggest thing is the coaching of urgency that they have and the attention to details," McDougald said. "That has been the biggest help that I've added to my game, playing fierce and making plays. That's what they tried to help me with." McDougald's leadership role came into play early in the game after South Dakota State sophomore running back Zach Zenner blazed his way through the Jayhawks' defense for a 99-yard touchdown run for the first score of the game. McDougald got the Jayhawk defense to come together and stay focused. The defense was in uniform after giving up a big run and not allowing its mind set to go in the wrong direction. The Layhawks defense was statistically the worst last season among all Division I teams. Weis and Campo knew that the defense had a lot of room to mature. Saturday night was a defensive night for the Layhawks and their four interceptions tied Tennessee for most interceptions in Week 1. "We let up a 99-yard touchdown and a couple deep balls," McDougald said. "Credit them for making them, but besides the big plays that they had, I would say the defense played pretty well." Weis is content with the defensive effort from his squad in his first game with Kansas. He believes this was the kickoff they needed to jump start the season and carry that over to next week against Rice. "Usually when you win the turnover ratio, you usually win the game," Weis said. "It's the number one stat in football. The turnover is usually the most glaring statistic between winning and losing and I think that's a good start for our defense." Edited by Laken Rapier OFFENSE Running backs Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox carried the Jayhawks, combining for 253 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Dayne Crist (17-36, 1 interception) rarely started with poor field position, but couldn't find his passing game. His receivers admitted to not always running their correct routes. Grade: C+ DEFENSE Grade: B Take away the 99-yard touchdown run on the first play of the Jackrabbits second drive, and four of the first five KU defensive series resulted in three-and-outs. Kansas was also able to pick off four passes. Now add back in that 99-yard run where SDSU's tailback outrun the entire Kansas defense. SPECIAL TEAMS Ron Doherty averaging 46 yards per punt is good, but missing a 35-yard field goal is not. Two blocked punts highlighted the day. Grade: A- COACHING Charlie Weis opened his Kansas tenure with a double play-action pass out of the shotgun formation that resulted in a 43-yard gain. Dave Campo opened up with a three-and-out. Weis' plays would have been more effective if his passes were connecting, and Campo's defense still gave up more than 400 yards.

B. SMITH FINAL THOUGHT Kansas won a game where there would have been no excuse for a loss. Yes, it is important to get that first win, and yes there were flashes of athleticism on both sides of the ball, but it's too early to tell what Jayhawk fans should expect the rest of the way. Dayne Crist was lackluster, and the defense still has work to do. At the end of the day, though, a win is a win. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson keeps running towards the end zone after his opponent from South Dakota State University caught a hold of his shirt during the Saturday game at Memorial Stadium where the Jayhawks won 31-17. Patterson had 44 receiving yards during the game. --- Volume 125 Issue 10 kansan.com Tuesday, September 4, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAHY BANSAN S sports PAGE 9 Volleyball set for full slate of action COMMENTARY Senior quarterback Dayne Crist looked rusty, only completing 17 of his 36 passing attempts, throwing for 169 yards and only one touch-down. Even though the defense forced five turnovers, the Kansas defense allowed 411 total yards, including a 99-yard run that gave South Dakota State the lead early in the game. The special teams blocked two punts, but allowed 164 yards on six kickoff returns. A new season means impact players. Sure, sophomore running back Tony Pierson had an incredible day. The speedster rushed for 124 yards on 20 carries, averaged 6.2 yards per carry and reached the end zone twice. The start of the Charlie Weis era was anything but perfect. New impact players key to victory But the real surprise was junior running back Taylor Cox. Needless to say, there are plenty of issues for the Jayhawks to work on after their 31-17 victory over South Dakota State. But even with these glaring issues, one thing is clear. With no James Sims in the line-up for the first three games of the season due to a suspension, Cox shined rushing for 121 yards and one touchdown. While Pierson scored more touchdowns, Cox averaged 7.6 yards per carry. Cox's combination of speed and power could be the spark plug that the layhawks need on offense. The biggest question now is if Tavai and Cox can both impact the game on a weekly basis. South Dakota State isn't the best quality opponent and the difficulty only increases from here. Still, these two players are big contributors to the team. With no James Sims, Cox provides quickness to the team when Pierson isn't in the game. Kansas hasn't had a defensive line constantly provide pressure in many years. With a new season underway, look for these impact players to make big plays. Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk Tavai was constantly in the backfield, blowing up the middle of the Jackrabbits offensive line. His pressure was good enough for South Dakota State to double team him the majority of the night. On the defensive side of the ball, it's really hard to find a positive after allowing so many yards. Senior safety Bradley McDougald intercepted the ball twice. Junior cornerback Tyler Patmon had one interception and should have had two after dropping an easy ball that came his way. FOOTBALL REWIND PAGE 10 At first glance, most would think he had a poor game. Tavar recorded four tackles but failed to record a sack or tackle for loss. Still, neither of these players impacted the game like junior defensive lineman Jordan Tavai. Remember, Tavai played most of the game as a nose tackle. The main job of a nose tackle isn't to get many tackles or sacks. Tavai's job was to fill the gaps for linebackers to get through and provide pressure on the quarterback. And Tavai did just that. Kansas Jayhawks huddle up during the first half of the match against South Dakota State Jackrabbits on Saturday. Kansas defeated South Dakota State 31-17. KANSAS 31 - SOUTH DAKOTA STATE 17 ENOUGH FOR A WIN KU MONROE 70 DENT 64 MANNERGESH 69 61 72 Crist struggles in first game as Jayhawk while running backs shine TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com Kansas fans wanted to see fireworks from Dayne Crist on Saturday and they got them. On Kansas' first play of the game, Crist commanded a double play action pass and launched a 43-yard pass to senior Kale Pick to set the Jayhawks up on the South Dakota State 32-yard line. Like a firework, Crist entered the game with a lot of smoke, flashed pretty colors and quickly faded into the night as the rungame took over. Charlie Weis alternated the use of his running backs for his first career win as a lajawkh. Both sophomore Tony Pierson and junior Taylor Cox recorded more than 100 yards and at least a touchdown in Kansas 31-17 victory over South Dakota State University. After Crist's trickery to open up the game, the highly touted quarterback had issues connecting with his receivers. "I'm very disappointed in how I played," Crist said. "I left a ton of throws on the field." Crist failed on connections to starting receivers D.J. Beshears five times, and Daymond Patterson three times. Beshears and Patterson ended up combining for nine catches and 71 yards. Both receivers were top targets for former Kansas quarterback Jordan Webb, and were thought to be key weapons for Crist. "He was a little rusty." Weis said. "He went all last year without playing a game. Some of it is his fault, some of it is other guys' fault." Crist did set off a few more fireworks. A two-yard touchdown pass to senior tight end Mike Ragone — the first of his collegiate career — was the decisive score of the game. Yet on the day, Crist was 17-36 with one interception and only 169 yards passing. Weis and Crist chalked it up to getting a little too excited and not staying within Crist's limits. Both said it would be corrected, and in the meantime, Crist was thankful for his running backs getting the job done. "All the running backs in conjunction with the offensive line really carried the day," Crist said. "They got us through some lulls in the game." That's not to say that the offense didn't get anything right. On one of Kansas' more impressive drives, Crist threw a seven-yard pass to Beshears for a first down. Next he handed off to Pierson who avoided a defender, cut to the right sideline and turned up field and sprinted 47-yards to the end zone. "I give credit to the offensive line, receivers and tight ends," Pierson said. "They just opened up the holes for me to get to the secondary, make a move, and go for a touchdown." Earlier last week, Crist said that if calling for a run on every down to secure a win was needed, he would be fine handing the ball off. It didn't quite come to that on Saturday, but when Big 12 play rolls around, 17 complications on 36 attempts won't cut it.

The Jayhawks tied with Arizona State after a free-kick attempt in the $84^{\circ}$ minute. TYLER BICWIRTH/KANSAN FILE PHOTO After beating Creighton 3-0 on Friday, the jayhawks struggled during the first half of Sunday's game. Arizona State controlled play and had plenty of possession time, preventing Kansas from creating many opportunities. ANDREW MORRIS amorris@kansan.com "I thought in the first half they were all over us, to be honest," coach Mark Francis said. "We didn't do a good job of pressuring their middle players." A strong second half performance and a late free kick goal from senior forward Whitney Berry helped the soccer team secure a 2-2 draw against Arizona State on Sunday. Despite the lack of scoring chances, it was the Jayhawks who found the net first when Ashley Williams tucked away Courtney Dickerson's low cross in the eighth minute. The goal was against the run of play but was created when Kansas' junior forward Caroline Kastor made a great turn at midfield to start the Kansas attack. The ball eventually came to Dickerson out wide before she played it across the goal for Williams to tuck into the empty net. Kansas, averaging 20 shots per game, only created three shots during the first half and forced just one save by Arizona State goalkeeper Chandler Morris. Senior goalkeeper Katie trau had another impressive display, making five saves to keep the Jayhawks ahead at the end of the first half. Kansas started the second half better than the first with more possession and more pressure on ASU. "We made some adjustments at nattme, Francis said. "I thought we dominated the second half." Liebetrau also continued to play well but the Jayhawks' defense finally allowed their first goal in 950 minutes. A ball floated into the box and Arizona State forward Cali Farquharson headed the ball over Liebetrau and into the empty net to tie the game with 10 minutes to play. In the 84th minute, the Sun Devils grabbed a shocking lead when Christina Schedel's long free kick floated into the top corner, giving Arizona State a 2-1 lead. Kansas made a slight argument when Liebetrau appeared to be pushed when trying to catch the ball, but no call was made and the goal stood. Just 30 seconds after conceding the goal, Kansas was given a free kick 40 yards from goal. Many people expected Kansas to try to cross the ball into the box and head toward the goal, but Whitney Berry had other ideas. Berry's shot bounced off the crossbar before rolling across the line with just five minutes remaining and the score now level at 2-2. "Our team never gives up," sophomore Jamie Fletcher said. "We came back after they scored that other goal and kept fighting and fighting." Players on both sides showed fatigue during the overtime and each goalie was forced to make great saves in the golden goal period. Kansas improves to 4-1-1 on the season with games against Missouri State and North Carolina State next weekend.

The Siren, the University's new online, student-run literary journal is looking for contributors. OUT WITH THE OLD Brendan Allen, a senior from Phillipsburg, and Becky Mandelbaum, a senior from Wichita, are co-editors of the journal. Both were on the staff of Comma, Splice, an annual literary magazine. After the magazine was discontinued last semester, Allen and Mandelbaum collaborated to create a forum for student work that is strictly online. Now, the duo is forming a staff and looking for interested students to submit poetry, fiction and iron-fiction, as well as interviews with writers and reviews of stories and books. Kiosk vs. Siren "We want this to be a journal for KU undergrads, first and foremost. As much interest and as much passion as we can get into it, the better, for both longevity sake and for the quality of the journal," Allen said. "Hopefully this is something that can keep going for years to come." KIOSK A print publication comprising student writing and art that is distributed on campus and in Lawrence semi-annually. Unlike Kiosk, which is a student-run magazine that is printed and distributed on campus and in Lawrence once a semester, the Siren will not have a printed edition. Allen and Mandelbaum want to release one "issue" each semester by posting a large amount of creative writing at one time; the first of these issues will come out before winter break. Between these releases, interviews and reviews will be posted periodically. Mandelbaum said the online journal would reach a wider audience than a print publication because it is more accessible. "With a lot of print journals, people pick one up and flip through it, but they don't really read through the whole thing."

"With an online journal, people can go on online whenever they have time. We're just trying to find quality writing at KU and put it in one place so people can see what is going on in the writing community here." TECH TRADE To submit to the Siren, visit the website at sirenjournal.dept.ku.edu. Submissions will be edited and selected by the editorial staff.

Allen said he hopes to get as many people involved as possible to create a diverse mixture of student writing. "No one is completely dominating the direction of the journal," he said. "When you have one person doing a blog, it's just that one person's point of view; it can get narrow. We want to make sure that many people have the possibility to have their voices heard." ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN PHOTO ILLUSTRATION — Edited by Sarah McCabe Q HANNAH BARLING hbarling@kansan.com With the new iPhone coming out this fall, now is the time for students to sell old electronics to get the biggest bang for their buck. Students can save money buying used electronics and make quick cash selling old devices. There are several ways to buy or sell electronics online. One of the most-used websites is Craigslist. Students can buy, sell or trade electronics with people from their area. Garrett Johnson, a sophomore from Erie, sold a PS2 with controllers and some games on Craigslist for $100. He then bought a Sony surround sound system, a $300 value, for $100. "It makes so much more sense to do it this way. You pay a little bit and get the exact same thing you would if you were buying it brand new," Johnson said. An Xbox 360 in working condition sells for around $90 on Craigslist while it ranges between $199-$299 brand new. A 40-inch Samsung LCD TV was posted in the Lawrence area for $450 but costs $649.99 at Best Buy. An 80 gigabyte iPod video classic is $150 and is listed at $220 new on Amazon. Shubbankar Mathur, a sophomore from Eden Prairie, Minn., sold a PS3 along with four video games and controllers for $250 on Craiglist. "I used it for a year, but I sold it because I wanted some spending money. I bought it on Black Friday for $150 so I ended up making $100 in the end," Mathur said. Another website students can use to sell old phones and other electronics is Buybackworld.com. The process takes three steps: Search for your device, answer four questions about the condition of your device and immediately get a quote for how much it is worth. A 16 GB iPhone 4 in good condition is worth $176. A 32 GB iPad with Wi-Fi capabilities is worth $174. Another website that has three different ways for people to recycle electronics is Grrecycling.com. People can fundraise through cellphone recycling, selling used phones for money or donate cellphones to benefit soldiers. The value of all old iPhones will decrease as soon as the new model is launched. Most cellphone carriers have a buy-back program for customers. At Verizon Wireless a working 16 GB iPhone 4S with no cracks is worth $230. Once you ship the device, Verizon will send you a gift card redeemable at any Verizon location. Sprint also has a buyback program. Users can sell old phones and receive store credit or can use the money to pay bills. A 16 GB iPhone 3GS is worth $80 at the Sprint store and a 16 GB iPhone 4 is worth $150. - Edited by Luke Ranker CULTURE The image shows a person kneeling on the ground, facing downward, with their hands resting on a flat surface.

Tibetan monks from the Drepung Gomang Monastery in South India create a sand mandala for world peace at the Spencer Museum of Art. They will continue working on the mandala until Friday afternoon when the artwork will be carried down to Potter Lake and destroyed as part of a ceremony. KELSEY CIPOLLA/KANSAN Monks build sand artwork to promote world peace RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com With the slow rap of two metal tubes, tiny, colorful grains of sand slid into place. A Tibetan Buddhist monk dressed in traditional robes fastidiously funneled the sand into its place in the sand mandala (a Sanskrit word meaning "circle") for world peace at the Spencer Museum of Art yesterday afternoon. "They are here to spread the mission of love and kindness and compassion that they so strongly believe in," said Kevin Mullin, a tour coordinator for the monks. The event is part of a series on Tibetan culture this week at the University. When completed on Friday, the circular mandala will be about five feet in diameter and its design will showcase 12 different religions. the four seasons and the four elements, as well as other aspects of traditional Tibetan Buddhist culture. Mullin said the monks want to promote world peace while also raising awareness about China's oppressive policies against Tibetan Buddhists. Spectators could make donations or purchase Tibetan art, jewelry and books. Mullin said the money is used to support their monastery, Drepung Gomang Monastic College, which has about 2,000 monks. just how straight he's making the lines." Spatial limitations allow for only one monk to work on the mandala during the first stages of construction, so several other monks walked around speaking with students, reading and praying. Tenin Dekyong, one of the monks, said their hope is not to push their religion on others but to allow spectators to observe and possibly participate. "I could definitely stay and watch some more," said Sarah Travis, a senior from Lawrence. "It's just so interesting to watch "We will be doing chanting and praying in the mornings and at night so they can come and watch and meditate if they would like," Dekyong said. Construction will continue today at 11:30 a.m. and at various times until 2 p.m. Friday. After completion, the mandala will be customarily dismantled in a ceremonial procession from the Spencer Museum of Art to Potter Lake. Tibet Week will close with a cultural pageant performance on Friday at 7 p.m. in the Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union.

AUGUST 23, 1987 President Obama listens as former President Bill Clinton speaks in the briefing room of the White House in Washington on Dec. 10, 2010. When Clinton takes the convention stage to endorse Barack Obama this week, it will be a landmark step on a path to reconciliation for two former rivals whose political fortunes are now inextricably tied. ASSOCIATED PRESS "President Clinton has an economic record second to none," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said at a briefing Tuesday hosted by ABC News and Yahoo. "He's a very credible messenger ... he's going to deliver a very compelling speech." Former democrat rivals confer at DNC ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — When Bill Clinton takes the convention stage in prime time Wednesday to praise President Barack Obama, it will be the most visible step on a path toward reconciliation for two former rivals whose political fortunes are now inextricably linked. That Obama would choose the former president for such a high-profile speaking spot and that Clinton would accept seemed unfathomable in 2008, when the two clashed bitterly during the Democratic nomination showdown between Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former president's wife. Even though Hillary Clinton now serves as Obama's secretary of state, resentments between the current and former presidents have been slow to ebb. But now, with the Democratic incumbent locked in a tight race with Republican Mitt Romney, Obama has fully embraced Clinton as a political partner in hopes of capturing the former president's uncanny knack for political survival against tough odds. Obama called Clinton in July and asked him to give the speech that would place the president's name in nomination. Clinton accepted enthusiastically, aides to both men said. If the arrangement seems like a forced marriage, it's also a mutually beneficial pairing that brings Clinton back to the national political forefront and lends Obama the validation of the Democratic Party's most popular elder statesman. But it's not a one-way proposition, as Clinton needs an Obama win in November to preserve his own legacy. With the economic recovery still tepid and unemployment stubbornly high, Obama campaign officials are eager to portray the president's economic policies as mirroring those of his Democratic predecessor. Many voters remember Clinton's tenure as a period of prosperity. The economy added some 22 million new jobs during his two terms in the White House from January 1993 to the start of 2001 and Clinton left office with a balanced federal budget and surplus. "From President Clinton's perspective, if Romney were elected held repeal everything Clinton ever did and everything he wants to advance," longtime Clinton adviser Paul Begala said. "He and President Obama share an economic philosophy ferociously focused on the middle class, and he believes Obama has us on the right track." Begala also serves as senior adviser for Priorities USA Action, an independent group supporting Obama's re-election that has struggled to compete financially with similar Republican-leaning groups. Clinton has signed on to help the group and did his first event in August, briefing donors on the political landscape. His assistance helped the group raise about $10 million in August, its best monthly haul. Clinton stars in an Obama campaign commercial currently running in battleground states. In the ad, the former president suggests that Romney would return the country to George W. Bush-era economic policies while affirming Obama's approach that he argues mirrors his own. "President Obama has a plan to rebuild America from the ground up," Clinton says, adding, "That's what happened when I was president." To be sure, Clinton hasn't always been a model surrogate for the Obama campaign. The former president once praised Romney's "sterling" business credentials at Bain Capital, the private equity firm where Romney amassed a large fortune. The remark contradicted the Obama campaign's effort to paint the GOP nominee as a plutocrat devastation. 审 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA POLICE REPORTS Information based on the Douglas County Sheriff's Office booking recap and KU Office of Public Safety crime reports. - A 30-year-old Canton man was arrested Monday at 9:49 p.m. on KU Parking Lot 101 near Templin Residence Hall on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Operation Rescue files ethics complaint ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA, Kan. — An anti-abortion group filed an ethics complaint Tuesday accusing Johnson County's district attorney of lying to a judge about the fate of records from an investigation into Planned Parenthood. Operation Rescue filed the complaint with the Office of the Disciplinary Administrator, the board responsible investigating cases of attorney misconduct. It alleges District Attorney Steve Howe lied in court about the destruction of the records obtained in the investigation. The clinic was charged with falsifying documents and performing illegal late-term abortions. Howe asked a judge in November 2011 to drop 49 of the original 107 charges, including the felonies, filed against Planned Parenthood in 2007. The last of the charges were dropped in August. Cheryl Sullenger, policy adviser for Operation Rescue, said Howe lied when he told a district court judge that the "last complete copies" of the abortion records were destroyed by the attorney general's office. I Sullenger said that was false and that Operation Rescue had proof from a Shawnee County judge that copies still existed.

The visit by President Tskakhia Elbegdorj followed a summit of nonaligned nations in Tehran that Iranian officials hoped would show the failure of Western sanctions to isolate Iran diplomatically. 地球仪 The West says Iran's nuclear program aims at developing weapons technology, but Iran says it is for peaceful purposes such as power generation and cancer treatment. Mongolia is said to be building its first nuclear power plant and mining uranium with the help of Russia. Iran has often said it is willing to transfer its nuclear expertise to تورو امنیت other countries. "This site is a unique place. Maybe in other countries it is not possible to visit such a sensitive place," he was quoted as saying. "I found out how the enriched uranium is being used for peaceful energy." The TV broadcast said the Mongolian leader was allowed to visit whatever he wanted in the plant. It suggested that Elbegdorj endorsed the Iranian claim about the peaceful purposes of its nuclear program. Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmednejad, speaks at a ceremony in Iran's nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz in 2007. Iran's denials that it is trying to develop nuclear weapons carry a distinctly ring among its foes in the U.N. Inspectors from the U.N. nuclear agency visit the site regularly, and Iran has in the past allowed foreign diplomats and reporters to enter it as well. Iran said during the meeting that it would open its nuclear sites to participating delegates. Santos reveals goal to end century-old conflict SOUTH AMERICA ASSOCIATED PRESS MADRID, SPAIN - JULY 27, 2016 - A man gestures as he speaks during the opening ceremony of the inauguration of a new hospital in Madrid, Spain. The hospital, named after former President Andrés Madríguez, will be located at Zona Centro de Rehabilitación in the city center and is expected to open in the next few months. (AFP) Santos announced on Tuesday, Sept. 4, a preliminary accord with Colombia's main leftist rebel group to launch peace talks to end a century-old conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives. BOGOTA, Colombia — President Juan Manuel Santos announced on Tuesday a preliminary accord with Colombia's main rebel group to launch talks aimed at ending a stubborn, century-old conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives. Santos called the agreement a roadmap to "a definitive peace" and said it was reached after six months of direct talks in Cuba, with that country's government and Norway serving as brokers following a year and a half of preparatory work. In a nationally televised speech, The agreement does not include a cease-fire. Nor does it grant a safe haven to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, as occurred during the last peace talks, which lasted three years and ended disastrously in 2002. FARC leaders held a news conference later Tuesday in Havana. The talks to end the Western Hemisphere's longest-running conflict will begin in the first half of October in Oslo, Norway, and continue in Havana, Santana said. "a realistic agenda" that includes the FARC agreeing to eventually lay down its arms and become integrated into the country's political life. "If there are not advances, we simply won't continue," he said, adding that "military operations will continue with the same or stepped up intensity" Santos said the talks, the fourth with the peasant-based FARC in three decades, would be different from past talks because they have Santos, a social progressive who dealt the FARC major blows as defense minister from 2006-2009, said key topics would be agrarian reform, returning stolen land, reducing poverty and compensating victims. Santos said one major point on the agenda was drug trafficking, which is highly sensitive because it is believed to be the FARC's main funding source. Santos did not mention a major obstacle to peace: amnesty for rebel leaders.

The ransom: a few bottles of whiskey or perhaps something more romantic, like a public declaration of love from the abandoned groom. The kidnappers negotiate by phone, It's one of Romania's more colorful customs: bride-napping. And the tradition of snatching the bride from under the nose of groom and guests with the wedding party in full swing is getting bigger, brasher and an increasingly common sight in the Romanian capital, the Balkans' undisputed party town. Every Saturday night, brides from Bucharest and beyond are dragged away in a mock abduction by friends and driven to a top tourist spot where they are "held hostage" — all the while pouting, dancing and striking provocative poses for the cameras. working out the details of the payoff. It's all harmless theatrics meant to add a whiff of risque fun to the auptials. Mock abductions of brides are part of marriage ceremonies across the former Soviet Union. In some countries, guests lock up a bride or have her hide in a backroom during celebrations, demanding that the bridegroom delivers a "ransom" — like singing a song, dancing or sitting on rooftop. In Romania, the custom took off a few years ago when a top football player rented Bucharest's Arch of Triumph, a major monument modeled after its iconic namesake in Paris, and proposed there to his girlfriend. There was no kidnapping involved but the scene stuck in the popular imagination as a symbol of marriage — and soon the monument became a sort of midnight mecca for bride-mapping.

MOVIE REVIEW Jones, Samberg surprise Celeste & Jesse Forever: ★★★☆ X ALEX LAMB editor@kansan.com Rashida Jones The romantic comedy takes on a refreshing perspective in "Celeste & Jesse Forever," where the love story focuses on a couple not amidst the blossoming of their relationship, but rather the conclusion. Celeste (Rashida Jones) and Jesse (Andy Samberg) have been separated for six months at the film's onset, after years of being together. Yet even though they're in the middle of a divorce, they continue to be best friends. The pair hangs out every day and Jesse still lives in his art studio in Celeste's backyard. But when Jesse becomes serious with someone else only a few weeks later, Celeste regrets the loss of her soul mate and quickly tumbles down a path of self-destruction, both in her personal and professional life, while Jesse rises to success. There's a balance between emotional maturity and eccentric humor that feels just as honest as it is enjoyable. It takes an outburst from their friends (Ari Graynor and Eric Christian Olsen) before they realize it's time to start distancing themselves and begin moving on. AWARDS Hopefully this marks her graduation from supporting roles to full As both co-writer and star, Jones plays her sentimentality with a subtle sweetness, while the intrinsically charming quirk that made her so lovable in "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation" keeps her derailment enearing. Andy Samberg Samberg is the real surprise, however. on leading lady. We already know he's a clever little goodball, made popular from his SNL digital shorts, but here he shows that he actually has dramatic depth as well. He embodies that quiet longing for an old love with graceful simplicity, and the chemistry between the two pulses with authenticity. From an extended embrace between the lovers as they try not to let go of the past, to an apologetic speech in which Celeste regrets takes jesse for granted. Krieger fills this romance with a sense of meaning. The tenderness that director Lee Toland Krieger injects into Celeste and Jesse's relationship tingles with thoughtful poignancy. The strong supporting cast also highlight the film with a colorful personality. The cast features Elijah Wood as Celeste's awkward gay business partner, Will McCormack as a strangely insightful pot dealer and Emma Roberts as a ASSOCIATED PRESS garish young pop star who Celeste eventually befriends. The always charismatic Chris Messina and the delicately beautiful Rebecca Dayan also appear as Celeste and Jesse's new love interests, respectively. Offering a much more adult and layered movie than any Hollywood rom-com, "Celeste & Jesse Forever" has just as much heart as it does humor. Edited by Allison Kohn CHECK OUT A MOVIE PODCAST udkne ws/PxDl uc udkne.ws/PxDLuc 13782064479 DC Comics creates new superhero to revamp "Green Lantern" series ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT (AP) — When DC Comics decided to blow up its fabled universe and create a brave, diverse future, Geoff Johns drew from the past for a new character: his own background as an Arab-American. The company's chief creative officer and writer of the relaunched "Green Lantern" series dreamed up Simon Baz, DC's most prominent Arab-American superhero and the first to wear a Green Lantern ring. The character and creator share Lebanese ancestry and hail from the Detroit area, which boasts one of the largest and oldest Arab communities in the United States. ASSOCIATED PRESS "I thought a lot about it — I thought back to what was familiar to me." Johns, 39, told The Associated Press by phone last week from Los Angeles, where he now lives. "This is such a personal story." THE NEW SELL #0 GREEN LANTERN 9.9 JOEWS WILSON ALARA ALERT CHAMPIONE The Green Lantern mantle in DC Comics is no stranger to diversity with its ranks made up of men, women, aliens — animal, vegetable and mineral — from across the universe. Earlier this year an alternate universe Green Lantern was reintroduced as openly gay. Baz's story begins in a standalone Provided by DC Comics via Bender/ Helper impact, the November 2012 cover of the latest Green Lantern series features Simon Baz. "zero issue" available Wednesday that's part of a companywide effort to fill in the gaps or tell the origins of a character or team. Johns has no plans for Baz to fade into the background — the character in February is bound for the Justice League of America, one of DC's premier super team books, to fight alongside Green Arrow, Catwoman and Hawkman. Johns said he took economic as well as ethnic cues for the character 4 from his native Detroit area, with Baz resorting to stealing cars after being laid off from his automotive engineering job. He steals the wrong car, which inadvertently steers him into a terrorism probe and, eventually, an unexpected call to join the universe's galactic police force. "Obviously, it's affecting everybody," said Johns, who grew up in nearby suburbs in a Lebanese Christian household and got into comics when he discovered his uncle's old collection in his Arab grandmother's attic. His story begins at 10 years old when he and the rest of his Muslim family watch their television in horror as airplanes fly into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Events unfold from there as U.S. Arabs and Muslims find themselves, falling under intense suspicion and ostracism in the days, months and years following the attacks. The olive-skinned, burly Baz hails from Dearborn, the hometown of Henry Ford and the capital of Arab America.

Students returning to the dorms this semester will endure a move by KU Student housing that may not be as beneficial to students as it is to KU Student Housing. The Academic Resource Centers of several different buildings have been renovated into classrooms. Instead of having a nice, quiet place for students to work online, students who wish to use a university computer will be referred to a computer in the first floor lobby or a library. Loss of ARCs hurts students in dorms EDITORIAL Changing the location makes almost no difference considering that printing is no longer free and students will be asked to provide Passed a freshman dressed in a suit and tie with an earpiece; the secret service starts them young! But the bright side is they've upgraded the computers and the printers. And the housing department will continue to upgrade the computers every two years. Adding an extra year to the age of the computers wouldn't be detrimental. Money that it would save on computers could easily have been put to use allowing students to print for free, or at least to provide paper if it's going to charge to print. their own paper anyway. Free printing and a nice place to study and gather were central pieces to the "housing experience." On one hand, it prevented the need for students to walk all the By Angela Hawkins ahawkins@kansan.com way to Anschutz Library for a measly print job. And on the other hand, it saved the eight dollars of free printing for emergencies or projects that needed to be in color. KU Student Housing still has plenty of time to correct its mistake. Sure, the computers can't be returned, but the treatment of halls in concern to their ARCs can be equalized to some extent. Paper isn't such a huge thing to ask for, or free printing. A couple thousand students live in KU Student Housing every year; housing should be able to provide something as simple as a convenient place to print for all of them. The ARCs were a valuable resource that have now been turned into conference rooms or locked their doors for the time being. Students may not get it back. However, KU Student Housing should listen more to the needs of students than simply thinking about the coolest computer it can buy or another way for the university to make money off of students. Those advantages have been taken away for the most part. In some halls there will be printers available — no walking necessary. In others, they may have to walk to another hall to print. Yes, it's a short walk. Much shorter than the walk to Anschutz or Watson, but the principle remains that KU Student Housing has removed the convenience and the advantages of having an ARC in every residence hall. POLITICS I wish I could be the hot girl with big boobs on the front page. Instead, I'm just a flat-faced skimmed skinny man. Campaigns need honesty Angela Hawkins for the Kansan Editorial Board The last presidential election saw President Obama spend nearly $730 million in his bid to win the White House. Combined with his opponent, John McCain, the two spent about $1.4 billion. As this year's presidential election heats up, political pundits predict Obama will reach $1 billion in his bid for re-election. That amazing moment when you expect your boss to be an old hairy man.. and you go into work and he turns out to be an attractive college student. How you doing? As for political power, the stakes do not get higher than presidential elections—to which this kind of money can attest. This, your amount of cash begs the question: what does the American public get for $730 million? And if President Obama is re-elected, what kind of leader will the American people get for $1 billion? By David Scott dscott@kansan.com The answers to these questions are subject to opinion, presupposed by one's shade of political affiliation. However, a glance at past elections reveals the amount of political bang former presidents achieved with their campaign bucks. A little less than $3 million in today's dollars put President Lincoln in office. And in 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt challenged President Hoover, and the two combined to spend $150 million. The campaign costs for President Reagan and his opponents in both 1980 and 1984 combined for just under $600 million, total. Ronald Reagan's legacy has morphed into the symbolic figurehead of modern conservatism, and Roosevelt's presidency gave birth to modern liberalism. These great leaders have become the trademarks for their respective political brands, and they spent a fraction of the amount our modern day leaders are set to spend this election. Only a severe optimist or political loyalist could have the faith to believe President Obama or presidential-hopeful Mitt Romney will have the same legacy as Roosevelt or Reagan. Like Obama, Roosevelt inherited a bleak economy—the worse economy in American history, the Great Depression. How he handled this crisis is a textbook of great leadership and noteworthy for aspiring presidents, such as Romney. I don't blame any campaign donor for feeling a bit ripped off. Barely a week into office, Roosevelt gave his first fireside chat. In it, he was clear and frank. But most importantly, he was honest. He discussed the inner workings of commercial banking, a real crowd pleaser. His gift of clarity illuminated the complex topic. To the dismay of many listeners, he explained how banks do not store every deposit made, but only keep The chancellor gets a driver? Now I know where my "campus fees" go. enough to meet the daily needs of their customers. He said point-blank to his listeners, "Let me make it clear to you that the banks will take care of all needs, except, of course, the hysterical demands of hoarders." Roosevelt declared that citizens could rest easy because action was already underway to rescue the banking system. He said tomorrow banks would begin reopening, stronger than before. After this first fireside chat, Roosevelt would receive thousands of letters daily for the rest of his time in the White House. "If you could talk to the people every week for just fifteen minutes as you did last Sunday, I think that confidence would again be the order of the day" said one letter. The outpouring of letters reflects the wide range of support for Roosevelt. People of different economic class, political affiliation and social status united behind him. Today, we get none of that. We don't get the unity, and we don't get the honesty. It takes hundreds of millions of dollars to become president, but only a few simple traits create a great leader. If only honesty was as booming a business as campaigning for the presidency. Scott is a graduate student majoring in American studies from Overland Park.

Learning to communicate with your parents properly can make the relationship better For many of you upperclassmen who went home this summer, leaving Lawrence to go back home probably wasn't your idea of a perfect summer. It is great getting to see old friends, pets, and favorite hometown locations, but parents can get pretty irritating. Although the first couple of weeks at school have passed, that euphoric feeling of freedom is probably still there, especially for freshman who are experiencing the freedom for the first time. Besides the fact that your parents aren't there to nag at you for every little thing, being away from parents can have many bonuses. When I was about to leave for college a year ago, my mom and I constantly got into arguments. Our personalities are so similar, although we probably both hate to admit that. I tried to get out of the house as much as possible to hang out with friends so I could avoid the inevitable fight that would happen between my mom and me. As I moved away last summer, my mom felt the need to keep in close contact with me. I was just ready to go all Kelly Clarkson and become "Miss Independent." She would Facebook message me and email me constantly. It was nice she was thinking of me, but would get overwhelming at times especially when some of the messages were along the lines of "your brother forgot to feed the cat today. Now he won't stop meowing." As the year went on, my parents and I were able to give me space but still By Stephanie Bickel sbickel@kansan.com Being away from home has made me appreciate my parents and what they do for me. I think distance has made us closer, which made me a bit sad to leave home this summer. Although it sounds like a cheesy line that couples use in long distance relationships, it can apply to parents and their college kids. Since my parents and I now know how to effectively communicate while away from each other, it's easier not to get irritated when I do see them. I even look forward to getting updates about which rug my cat ruined today. talk most every day with meaningful conversations. I also had a few instances when I realized I wasn't "Miss Independent" when I came to the conclusion that I really did need them. Sometimes I don't think I take enough time to appreciate what my parents actually do for me, even while I'm away. I think it's pretty universal that kids are going to get irritated with their parents, but I'm sure they feel the same about us as well. Bickel is a sophomore majoring in journalism from Harper.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR KUBoobs raises no cancer awareness It was with great dismay that we read the front page piece in the Kansan titled "#KUBoobs back for more during football season." If KU women want to post their boobs on social media sites, that is certainly their right to do so. It is a travesty, however, to think of the posting of these pictures as an appropriate way to bring attention and funding to breast cancer. As psychologists and breast cancer research advocates, we found the article to be incredibly off-putting, as well as insulting to those women who have struggled with this disease. If your fellow and sister students aren't able to raise your consciousness about the inappropriateness of linking these Twitter and Facebook sites to "breast cancer awareness," we hope your professors will rise to the occasion.

The Sooners are still the team to beat in the Big 12. 1. OU (1 last week) 1-0 C 7. Kansas State (5 last week) 1-0 WV Senior kicker Anthony Cantele helped Kansas State add some points on the score board with three field goals in the first half. Coach Bill Snyder eventually got his offence going in the second half, amassing six touchdowns against Missouri State to start off the season. 2. WVU (2 last week) 1-0 Coach Dana Holgorsen has to love what he saw from his football team last week against Marshall. Senior quarterback Geno Smith had the hot hand all game long with only four incompletes out of 36 pass attempts. The Mountainers offense will prove a force to be reckoned with this season. OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY 3. OSU (6 last week) 1-0 Oklahoma State made some noise last weekend against Savannah State. The Cowboys scored two touchdowns less than five minutes into the game and finished the first quarter with a 35-0 lead, resulting in an 84-0 victory. Coach Mike Gundy hopes his offense can stay focused and provide more strong offensive outings next week at Arizona. TCU HORNED FROGS TCU was off in Week 1 and got a chance to watch in action some of the Big 12 teams it will face later this year. Their season begins this Saturday against Grambling State where coach Gary Patterson wants this game to be a stepping stone before visiting Kansas to kick off conference play. 4. TCU (3 last week) 0-0 The Texas Longhorns offense showed a lot of resilience when converting on 9 of 17 third downs and both of their fourth downs while only allowing Wyoming to convert once on a third down. Sophomore quarterback David Ash did a good job of taking care of the football and has a strong running game to work with. 5. Texas (4 last week) 1-0 BAYLOR BEARS Senior quarterback Nick Florence still has a long way to go, but Baylor fans were pleased with his 21 completions for 341 yards and four touchdowns in the team's 59-24 victory over Southern Methodist. If Baylor can continue to get more out of its offense, it could sneak its way into the top 25 and gain some attention in the Big 12. 6. Baylor (7 last week) 1-0 STATE 8. Iowa State (8 last week) 1-0 Tulaa gave Iowa State a run for its money after a two-possession lead to end the first quarter. Coach Paul Rhoads got his Cyclones offense to rebound and score 24 unanswered points after a slow start to the game. Defensively, junior defensive back Deon Broomfield shined with a 51-yard interception to help his team maintain a big lead. However, Rhoads wants to see a better start and more consistency from his team. GOLF Ryder Cup selections ASSOCIATED PRESS He announced Dustin Johnson, Jim Furky and Brandt Snedeker before getting to the fourth and final pick. NEW YORK—Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III caused a few murmurs at the Nasdaq Market Site on Tuesday when making his picks. "And then last but not least — and if you read between the lines, not in any particular order except that we are doing it by height," he said. Rickie Fowler? No, it was Steve Stricker, who is listed at an even 6 feet in the PGA Tour media guide, which made him the shortest of the picks. Stricker has never been considered short, except when compared with a Ryder Cup team that is getting taller all the time. Talk about growing the game. "We're getting bigger and bigger athletes." Love said. Love, who is 6-foot-3, was the tallest player when he made his first Ryder Cup team in 1993. There are five players who are at least 6-foot-3 on this team — Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Keegan Bradley, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson. The only players on the U.S. team listed under 6 feet are Zach Johnson (a very generous 5-foot-11) and Jason Dufner (5-foot-10). "I wasn't a good athlete, I was just tall." Love said. "Now we're getting good athletes...There's obviously going to be great chippers and putters — short guys — but we're trending toward bigger, more powerful athletes."

CROSS COUNTRY Runners set expectations high NATHAN FORDYCE nforduce@kaagsan.com nfordyce@kansan.com During the 1950s and 1960s, the University of Kansas men's crosscountry team was a consistent powerhouse in the sport. In those two decades of glory, the Jayhawks records as its 1950s counterpart, but team officials said this year's runners could be the best in recent memory. "We're great from where we have been," assistant coach Michael Whittlesey said. "Not from a historical standpoint." Fast forward to 2012. There is a buzz brewing that this team could reach a similar level of success. The team may not break the same captured 15 conference titles — they swept the entire 1950s — and won a national championship in 1953.

"For my tenure the last four years, it's by far the best team. It's no question. Overall talent, there are more guys that can run with Donny." Whittlesey said. "Donny has some work to be that No. 1 guy. So if we're running where Donny was two years ago with a pack, that's a pretty darn good nucleus. And now you're competing with the upper echelon in the country" Wasinger, a senior from Winona. Minn., has seen how much the team has changed during his time leading the Jayhawks from his freshman year to now. "The team now is more committed," Wasinger said. "Coach Whit has built more of a culture within the team. We are taking it more seriously. The usual run as a freshman was 8 miles during the summer, but now its 10 to 12 miles every day. Everyone is a step above where we were my freshman year." "I think it's really cool that Coach has that kind of faith in us." senior Josh Baden said. "We all have to believe in ourselves because we know what we can do." Whittlesey's confidence in the group has been well-received by his runners. "By setting the bar so high saying that, it gives us confidence, and he believes we can do it, so it helps a lot," Dyson said. Senior Eric Dyson agrees. The men's squad failed to reach the National Championships last season, but that won't keep the team from talking about it. "Our goal is to be at the National Championships. It was our goal last year and it didn't happen, but I do know we are a lot better this year," Whittlesey said. "The guys have done a tremendous job preparing themselves for the season."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Florida State won its two National Championships in what years? A: 1933, 1999 espn.com THE MORNING BREW Predictions for upcoming football season With the kickoff of the pigskin, there are things we always know. Ore- pigstail the season we always know. Oregon will never wear the same thing twice, Alabama will play good defense and Kansas State will play ugly football whether it's successful or not. We all know these things. Why write about them? I'm here to give you three things you DON'T know. Three of those bold predictions. Take a seat, grab a notebook, because these things may — or may not — come true. By Jackson Long jlong@kansan.com 1. West Virginia will win the Big 12 Championship. The first year conference newbies boast one of the top offenses in the country. The Mountainerers scored 69 points in their season opener while tallying more than 650 yards. Quarterback Geno Smith was a nearly perfect 32-36 passing, with 323 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also added 65 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Tavon Austin is one of the most electrifying players in college football and he runs, catches, and returns kicks for West Virginia. This offense has all of the weapons to rack up the points in the Big 12, and that's how you win the conference. This is a scoring league, and West Virginia can do it with the best of them. With a poor first week showing from Oklahoma, this conference is wide open for West Virginia to claim it. 2. Oregon DeAnthony Thomas scores 25 touchdowns and is a Heisman finalist in New York. Just a sophomore, the Duck's Mr. Everything is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. With just seven touches from scrimmage, Thomas scored three times in the season opening 57-34 win over Arkansas State. An electric runner, Thomas An electric runner, Thomas is the type of player defenses fear the most. If he gets in open space, as Oregon offense likes to do, watch out. He might just keep running all the way to the Heisman Ceremony in New York. 3. Florida State returns to the National Championship for the first time since 2000. The Seminoles are primed for a breakout year and have all of the necessary factors in their favor. The schedule is favorable. The ACC has lacked its luster for the past few years, and Florida State gets their toughest tests at home. Clemson and Florida both come to Tallahassee, and it appears the only road test is at Virginia Tech. If the Noles can get past that game, the door is wide open for a championship run. Senior quarterback EJ Manuel has loads of experience and leads an offense full of playmakers. An enormously talented defense will be the strength of the squad as head coach Jimbo Fisher takes his third year at the helm. The 'Noles have 19 wins in the past two years including two bowl victories. With one slip in the always tough SEC, LSU, Alabama or another team could lose its spot in the title game. Look for Florida State to match up with USC come January 7th. KU Markem down, ladies and gentleman. I'll keep a tally on them, too, and maybe update you every now and then on my success — or failures. Football season will make it fun to wait and see. And here's a bonus pick for those who stuck around. The Hawks don't win another game after Rice this weekend. The Big 12 is too tough. But we'll see about that one too. Regardless, it's good to have football back.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jeremy Guthrie pitched seven strong innings and the Kansas City Royals got home runs from Alex Gordon and Johnny Giavota in a 6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. After Salvador Perez's run-scoring double with two outs, Harrison was replaced by Roy Oswal. It was a rare short night for Harrison (15-9), who has pitched at least eight innings in eight starts. He fell to 10-5 away from home, tied with Tampa Bay ace David Price for the most road victories in the American League. Harrison allowed five runs, three earned,and eight hits. The Royals scored a pair of unearned runs in the third after an error by second baseman Ian Kinsler. Giavotella connected off Oswalt, ending a drought of 185 at-bats with his first home run since Sept. 3,2011. Guthrie (4-3) held the Rangers to two runs and five hits. He went 3-9 with Colorado before the Royals acquired him in a July 20 trade for Jonathan Sanchez. After Josh Hamilton and Adrian Beltre started the ninth with singles off Kelvin Herrera, Greg Holland came on to earn his 11th save in 13 opportunities. Hamilton scored on Michael Young's sacrifice fly. Guthrie gave up a home run to Elvis Andrus in the first inning. Mitch Moreland's double in the second scored Geovany Soto. After giving up five hits to his first 10 batters, Guthrie did not allow another hit. Lorenzo Cain reached on Kinsler's error in the third and scored on Alcides Escobar's double, which snapped an 0-for-21 skid. Escobar went to third on Gordon's ground-out and scored on Billy Butler's sacrifice fly. NOTES: Japan committed to play in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, but Rangers RHP Yu Darvish was non-committal about whether he will participate. Darvish refused to talk about the possibility, but instead issued a statement through the Rangers: "We're in the middle of the season. I have no comment on the issue." ... The Royals recalled RHP Jeremy Jeffress from Double-A Northwest Arkansas. Jeffress did not allow an earned run in 6 2-3 innings in two previous stints this season with Kansas City. ... 1B Eric Hosmer was held out of the Royals' lineup. Hosmer is hitting .224 against left-handers, while Harrison had limited left-handed batters to a .189 average entering the game. ...

Football predictions PAGE 7 The energy for Kansas football is back. Continue momentum against Owls Even though Saturday's game had lulls when the crowd at Memorial Stadium was ridiculously calm, the football team did enough to win. Everyone was a little underwhelmed by the end of the game, but for a team that went a whole calendar year without winning, I would say enough people were satisfied with the result. The offense was not the dominating presence that many anticipated. Senior quarterback Dayne Crist looked flustered at some points and badly overthrew to his receivers on several occasions. Despite having this look of confidence, it didn't end up that way. However, the running game appeared sharp. Sophomore Tony Plerson and junior Taylor Cox ran with authority that carried the load. It wasn't just the fans who had a good feel throughout much of the game; the players looked confident and prepared before the game with the jackrabbits. Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com The defense was putrid last year, and it appeared to go in the same direction. All of this has been touched on and micro-analyzed throughout the long weekend, but the one thing that cannot be overlooked is the defense. Now the attention turns to the Rice and how its team will fare against Kansas this weekend. This game on Saturday won't be the test that TCU will be next week, but at least it's a Division 1 opponent for Kansas. Now that we've all seen one week of football, I think it's safe to say that this team is in a better position than last year. But taking care of these non-conference games are the most important part of building any sort of momentum into the difficult Big 12 season. Edited by Sarah McCabe After seeing a few batched drives by both teams, Jackrabbits speedster Zach Enner brake open a run for 99 yards, blowing past all the Kansas defenders. The Owls from Houston are by no means a world-beater from Conference USA. They've only made two bowl games the last 50 years and finished with a 4-8 record last season. They also dropped their first game of the season on Thursday to UCLA with a score of 49-24. The Bruins quarterback completed 20 of 22 passes and their running back ran for 215 yards. UCLA moved efficiently and effectively throughout the game against Rice, so I would expect the same from Kansas this weekend. But the defense settled down and only allowed 63 total yards the rest of the half. TARA BRYANT/KANSAN Junior setter Erin McNorton (17) and junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc attempt to block a spike by a UMMC opponent Tuesday night, Sep. 4, at the HoreiS family Athletics Center. For the third time in four matches, Jarmoc tied a career high of 16 kills The Jawhaws defeated the Kangaroo 25-15, 25-15, 25-17. Oh no, here we go again. More defense that can't be stomached or gives up 5-plus points a game. KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS 12 17 9 KICKING THE KANGAROOS HAWKS DOMINATE Jayhawks sweep UMKC in tournament, 3-0 GEOFFREY CALVERT ecalvert@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team defeated the University of Missouri, Kansas City Kangaroos 3-0 Tuesday at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center, spoiling the return of the Kangaroos' head coach Christi Posey, a former lavhawk assistant coach. The Jayhawks began the first set on a 6-2 run, which set the standard for the rest of the match. They never trailed in the first set, they won 25-15, or the second set, which finished 25-17. The team briefly trailed in the third set but still won 25-17. "I thought our blocking set the tone in the first set," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We blocked six balls and I think that put them back on their heels a little bit. I thought they changed offensively a little bit what they were doing." Although Bechard said his team could have been more efficient, the lajawhacks' 275 hitting percentage was above their season average of .266, and was easily better than UMKC's .045 hitting percentage. They also had more assists than UMKC (42-23) and digs (59-36). Junior libero Brianne Riley finished the game with 17 digs, which moved her into the top 10 in Jayhawk history for career digs. "I think we've been real scrapy this year," Riley said of the Jahayws' defense. "I've said it before, but we're all veterans back there, and we work really well together." During the young season, multiple layhawks have frequently threatened the 10 kill mark each match. Against the Kangaroos, only two players had at least 10 kills, redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc and freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery. Jarmoc had 16 kills, tying her career high, and Dockery had 13 kills, easily setting a career high. The Jayhawks also varied their lineup this match and played natural setters junior juniors McNorton and Kara Wehrs at the same time. Wehrs received extensive playing time as an outside hitter and contributed two kills, a dig and a block assist. Outside hitter Sylvia Bullock also received her first time on the court as a Jayhawk late in the first set. Sophomore outside hitter Sara "It was just working in transition again, getting my feet to the ball," Jarmoc said. "I was trying to emphasize going behind the setter and just driving and getting kills." McClinton, who was named to the Kansas Volleyball invitational All-Tournament team, didn't play. "The roster that was ready yesterday (Monday) is the roster we went with," Bechard said. "And as you go through these pre-conference tournaments where you're playing a lot, you deal with certain things, just dinged up or a little injury here or there. It was an opportunity for some other folks, and that's what we needed." "We visited before, and I'm sure we'll visit a little bit after." Bechard said. "During the match, she's about what I thought shed be. Pretty intense, pretty fired up, and her team would play hard. I'm just really proud of her." The match was the first time Posey coached in Horejsi without wearing crimson and blue. Posey is in her second year as the UMKC head coach after serving 11 years as an assistant to Bechard at Kansas. The Jayhawks will host the Jayhawk Invitational this weekend at home. They will open the tournament against the College of Charleston Friday at 11:30 a.m., continue at Arizona State Friday night at 7:30 and finish against Wyoming at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. - Edited by Allison Kohn CANSAT 9 NCAA NCAA Freshman forward Ashley Williams from Albuquerque, N.M., defends the ball against her Georgia opponent during their Aug. 24 match. Williams suffered a minor injury in the first half, but later was well enough to return to the field. CLAIR HOWARD/KANSAN Freshman soccer player wins two Big 12 awards Ashley Williams continues to roll in the accolades early in her Jayhawk career. The freshman forward has been honored with the Big 12 Offensive and Newcomer of the Week on Tuesday after a conference release. Williams then added a third goal against Arizona State. This helped Kansas in the difficult 2-2 draw. Williams helped the lajhawks to their second consecutive weekend sweep on Friday and Sunday. The Albuquerque, N.M., native put a two-goal performance during a 3-0 win over the Creighton Bluejays on Friday. She also had an assist in the game. She now has 11 points on the year, currently a Big 12 lead. Her give goal is also leading the Big 12 thus far in the 2012 season. Williams is just the third Big 12 student athlete to earn both the Offensive Player and Newcomer of the Week honor in the same week. The feat was last accomplished in 2009. FOOTBALL This was the first time a Jayhawk won both awards in one week. Kansas soccer is back in action this weekend. The Jayhawks host Missouri State on Friday at 5 p.m. Then they will face North Carolina State on Sunday at 12 p.m. Crist hears critics, looks to step up game FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com One player Weis wants to see progress is senior quarterback and captain Dayne Crist. In his debut as a Kansas Jayhawk, Crist went 17 of 36, throwing 169 yards. He had one touchdown and one interception against the Jackrabbits. After studying footage from Saturday's 31-17 win over South Dakota State, coach Charlie Wife has zeroed in on what the football team must improve on to be successful this season. While Weis has high expectations for the Notre Dame transfer, he also wants to make sure Crist keeps his head high after Saturday's game. SANDERSON "You only get 12 of these regular season games and the first one was a win," Weis said. "You're not supposed to feel bad after a win. You're supposed to feel good after you win. You deal with the problems in the game, but don't feel bad after a win." Crist "His parents would not have been happy if he brought that grade home," Weis said of Crist. Weis grades his players after watching film of the previous game and said that no player gets graded harder than the quarterback of the team. "We grade relatively difficult. We grade hard." As for Crist, he gladly welcomes the criticism and is open with his coaches and teammates on how he can be a better leader and quarterback. "I'm just as hard on I'm just as hard on myself," he said. "I've got to practice better. I have a better understanding of how the game went. But at the end of the day, I know that I can play much better than how I did on Saturday, and I am excited for the opportunity to get better this week in practice and go out and have a better shot on Saturday." As a captain of the team, Crist continues to keep in touch with his receivers in and out of the facility as much as possible. Not only does everyone on the team want to improve for their own personal benefit, but they also make the players around them better to help the team be more successful. "I think the communication between they and I are great," Crist said. "We all have the same goal, and that's getting better and playing more efficient, and that's what we are going to aim to do all week." Crist wants to make practice count this week with his teammates before Saturday's game against Rice University. He made it clear that the team can evolve their playing, even after this season's first win. Crist would like to improve the dynamic with his receivers after making mental errors and leaving points on the field last weekend. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN "At the end of the day, we've got to be more efficient," he said.

WEEKEND EDITION SEPT. 6 - 9 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK the student voice since 1904 Kansas prepares to face Rice PAGE 1B NEW COACH, NEW RITUAL 0 ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Members of the Marching Jayhawks preform during the pregame show of the Sept. 1 football game against South Dakota State at Memorial Stadium. The pregame show has been a beloved tradition for 40 years and remained unchanged until this year. They will now preform "God Bless America" instead of "America the Beautiful." UNITED BY SONG The Marching Jayhawks and Weis add ritual to establish game-day tradition MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com This football season, the Marching Jayhawks will play the alma mater, "Crimson and Blue," with students and players after every home game. Initiated by head football coach Charlie Weis, the change adds to the Marching Jayhawks' longstanding game-day tradition. "Charlie Weis wants the students, band and the football team to be one unit," said Kyle Stringer, a junior from Haven, who plays baritone in the marching band. Stringer said Weis has spoken to the band on multiple occasions conveying this idea. After defeating the Jackrabbits last Saturday, a packed stadium participated in the new ritual. The band and football team lined up next to the student section in a show of KU pride. "I was generally very pleased," Weis said after the game. "It'll just get better, but for the first rattle out of the box, that was a pretty good start," Weis said. He added that the tradition would occur after every game, win or lose, and encouraged students to always participate by staying to the end of every game. While this end-of-game tradition is new, the Marching Jayhawk's 13-minute pregame show is relatively unchanged for the past 40 years, said Matthew Smith, director of the Marching Jayhawks. "The pregame show is where fans can expect to hear 'Crimson and Blue,' I'm a Jayhawk," "Fighting Jayhawk," "The Star Spangled Banner" and the Rock Chalk chant, as well as to see the band do things that are traditional only to KU." Smith said. "It embodies the spirit and traditions of the University." Some of the marching moves unique to KU tradition include spelling out "KU" as well as the Sunflower and Block-K formations, Smith said. And beginning last year, the halftime show is new for every game. Fans can expect superhero, Latin and classic rock-themed shows featuring music from movies like "Spiderman" and "The Dark Knight" and from singer Shakira, Smith said. Though practice can be difficult at times, especially being in the heat six hours a week, Stringer said it is all worth it. "During the game, it's like you're doing it for the first time." Stringer said. Emily Scholle, a senior from Lawrence and tenor saxophone player in the band, finds comfort in the band's tradition. "Aulni will see the same pregame show that they saw when they were in college," Scholle said. "So many traditions have been upheld this year, and with this new one, I feel honored to be part of it all."

This year will be the second ever 100 mile race in Lawrence, the first to combine three distances. Participants can choose to run 100 miles, 50 miles, or the marathon which is 26.2 miles. The Lawrence Trail Hawks will be hosting the 2nd annual Hawk Hundred at Clinton Lake Saturday and Sunday. "I'm excited to have the 100 mile and 50 mile runners on the course together," said race director Danny Miller. "They'll give each other a boost throughout the day and be there for emotional support." There are 128 runners registered in 15 different states. The race begins Saturday at 6:00 a.m. "You always want everyone to finish and have a good time," Miller said. "If you go into with the attitude that you have to win, you're missing the point. It's a personal discovery sport." According to Miller, the Hawk Hundred was thought up by the Lawrence Trail Hawks and is a huge production. Miller, along with the other race director Coleen Voeks, are both finishers of multiple 100-mile races. Voeks will be participating in this weekend's race. James Partridge, a graduate student in the chemistry department, will be running his 18th marathon on Saturday. "I'm most looking forward to getting a chance to get out and get a good, long run in," Partridge said. 2012 NAWK COURSE Edited by Sarah McCabe TRAIL GUIDE MULT TRAIL WHITE TRAIL SHORNE TRAIL MANEDED MROUND BARRER PILLOWDOWN LOOP MAKETON START AID STATIONS START/FINISH BRACE HQI LANDS END WEST TARK ROAD COURTESY OF LAWRENCE TRAIL HAWKS The 2nd annual Hawk Hundred race at Clinton Lake will start Saturday at 6 a.m. The race offers runners three distances: 100 miles, 50 miles or 26.2 miles.

Well, now your chance. The Free State Comicon is this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Douglas County fairgrounds. For a $5 admission fee, attendees can receive merchandise like posters and t-shirts, meet more than 30 local comic book creators, see rare items and buy toys and books from dealers. "For a lot of people, going to a comicon is all about finding those rare issues for a cheap price", said Craig Klotz, organizer of the Free State Comicon. "There has been huge success with all of the Marvel and Batman films. People have taken notice and are now seeking out the source material." Klotz started the Free State Comicon seven years ago. At the beginning, an average of 400 to 500 people showed up. Last year, that number almost doubled, and this year Klotz is expecting up to 1,000 comic book fans from all over Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri. Klotz said he wants to remain separated from today's image of a comic book convention. Over the years, he said, these mega conventions have become more about Hollywood; the comic books have become secondary. One of those 1,000 people will be Joel Fannettniel, owner of Astrokitty, Lawrence's only comic book store. Fannettniel has been to the convention for the last seven years; he sells comic books and does commissioned artwork. "He loved it so much, and he saw the opportunity to fill a niche here in town." Piannenstiel said. "Aside from collecting his own stuff, he created a unique thing here in Lawrence." "Comic books are taking a back seat," Klotz said. "But I love the art form. It's a great blending of literature and artwork that tells a visual story in the same way TV or film does, only you have to use your imagination to fill in the gaps." "I have a good time, and I expose people to the fact that we exist here in town," Pfannenstiel said. "I get to see friends I haven't seen in a while and interact with other creators." For more information, view next Thursday's Kansan. Edited by Sarah McCabe Three University of Kansas graduates created the website, which currently contains information and photos for eight venues. The photos are intentionally blurred, so a person viewing will not be able to identify anyone in the bar. The purpose of the picture is to see whether or not the bar is full and to help viewers plan their night accordingly. It's Friday night. You and a group of friends are trying to find the place to be, but there are more than 20 bars to choose from. You don't want a place that's too crowded or too dead, and you can't remember the drink specials. NIGHTLIFE New website gives live updates of local bars Pfannentiel got into comic books as a kid when his father introduced him to "Conan the Barbarian." He met Klotz in 2003 while he was working part-time at Mass Street Comics. Pfannentiel said Klotz was originally a "Trekkie" who got into comic books later. Next week, Lawnencarbarslive.com will be there to guide you through the decision process. Lawnencarbarslive.com, a website that will conveniently tell you all of this information, is set to launch at midnight next Thursday. The site allows you to select a bar, view the bar's Twitter and Facebook feeds, which include drink specials, and see a real-time photo of the interior of the bar every 10 seconds.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Thus far, the DNC has seen a large number of celebrity attendees, but not quite the outpouring of high-wattage support President Barack Obama engendered in 2008. Surprise guests could still arrive, like Eastwood did for his unexpected speech bestride an empty seat at the RNC. CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Celebrities are flocking to Charlotte for the Democratic convention, albeit without the prop furniture that made Clint Eastwood's appearance at last week's Republican convention so talked about. But without Obama's most famous supporters — Oprah Winfire, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Ben Afleck, Anne Hathaway — the likelihood of any celebrity causing the stir Eastwood did seem slim. Eva Longoria, a co-chair of Obama's reelection campaign, was due to address delegates Wednesday. Ashley Judd is attending as a Tennessee delegate, Will.Liam, who wrote the song "Yes We Can" for Obama's 2008 run, attended former President Bill Clinton's fundraiser Tuesday, and was to join a panel about innovative solutions to unemployment on Wednesday. in the White House Office of Public Engagement, addressed the crowd on Tuesday. His comedic speech included a reference to Eastwood. Kal Penn, the "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" actor who earlier worked as associate director "I've worked on a lot of fun movies, but my favorite job was having a boss who gave the order to take out Bin Laden and who's cool with all of us getting gay married," said Penn. "So thank you invisible man in the chair for that." Penn is also hosting live streaming coverage of the convention Thursday for BarackObama.com. His guests are expected to include Elizabeth Banks and Olivia Wilde, among others. Penn also created a YouTube video in which he receives a phone call from Obama while he sits on a couch eating pizza with his "Harold and Kumar" co-star, John Cho. Jeff Bridges, performing with his band the Abiders, in Charlotte after a trip last week to Tampa for the RNC. He's seeking bipartisan support for the No Kid Hungry campaign. The biggest celebrity infusion will likely come Thursday ahead of Obama's speech and acceptance of the party's nomination. Among those scheduled to perform Thursday are the Foo Fighters, James Taylor, Mary J. Blige, Earth Wind and Fire, and Marc Anthony, who is to sing the national anthem. Amber Riley of "Glee" sang on Tuesday.

Photographs taken afterward showed the factory had burned to rubble and fireworks littered the ground. NEW DELHI — A massive blaze raged for hours at a fireworks factory in southern India, killing at least 40 workers and injuring 60 others Wednesday, police said. Some reports put the death toll at more than 50. The fire spread to 40 of the 60 rooms at the Om Siva Shakti fireworks factory, one of the biggest in Sivakasi town in Tamil Nadu state, police officer P. Karupaiah said. The Press Trust of India news agency said about 300 people were working in the factory and 52 died. The CNN-IBN television news channel said rescue workers had completed a search of the devastated building for trapped workers. Large amounts of firecrackers and raw materials were stored in the factory with major Hindu festivals weeks away. The cause of the fire was not immediately known, Karupaiah said. The region has many factories making fireworks, which are used in religious festivals and weddings across India. They also are exported to other Asian countries. Fireworks lie in the foreground as policemen arrive at the scene after a massive blaze swept through the Om Siva Shakti fireworks factory in Skavaksi, India. NORTH AMERICA Costa Rica earthquake causes major damage CANGREJAL, Costa Rica — A powerful, magnitude-7.6 earthquake shook Costa Rica and a wide swath of Central America on Wednesday, collapsing some houses, blocking highways and causing panic and at least one death from a heart attack. Costa Rica President Laura Chinchilla announced there were no reports of major damage and called for calm. At the epicenter, the beach town of Cangrejal, Jairo Zuniga, 27, said everything in his house fell when the quake hit at 8:42 a.m. (10:42 a.m. eDT: 1442 GMT) "It was incredibly strong. I've felt earthquakes, but this one was 'wow,' he said. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 38 miles (60 kilometers) from the town of Liberia and 87 miles (140 kilometers) west of the capital, San Jose, where frightened people ran into the streets. The magnitude initially was estimated at 7.9, but was quickly downgraded. Local residents said it shook for about 30 seconds and was felt as far away as neighboring Panama and Nicaragua, where school was canceled in some areas. Panama also briefly called for people to evacuate beach areas. Greece cracking down on illegals EUROPE rica. The influx has fueled racist rhetoric and violence.

The 85-year-old pontiff was presented with his first electric car Wednesday, a customized white Renault Kangoo for jaunts around the gardens of the papal summer residence at Castel Gandolfo. Benedict has been dubbed the "green pope" for his environmental concerns, which have been a hallmark of his papacy. He has written of the need to protect God's creation in his encyclicals, and raised the issue on his foreign trips and in his annual peace messages.

Cady works 15 hours a week as a cashier in The Underground on campus KAYLA SOPER editor@kansan.com Many college students would rather spend their time doing anything but working, but recent studies show that money isn't the only benefit of a part-time job. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics found that students who worked between one and 20 hours a week get better grades then students who do not work. This may come as a surprise, because common logic would lead one to believe that less time working means more time to complete school work. In most cases though, more free time means more time to do things other than homework. Mary Ann Rasnak, director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center, agrees that having a job is an important part of learning responsibility and becoming independent. Jessica Eaton, a sophomore from Dodge City, is proof of this statistic. "We all get more done when we are busy" she said. "Having a job helps me manage my time better, because I have to plan studying around work. It helps keep me organized," Eaton said. Work was never an option for Eaton, a waitress who has to pay However, the same study also found that working too many hours can have a negative effect on your grades, with the average GPA for students who worked full-time jobs being lower than those who don't work at all. Twenty hours is the happy medium, because working too much can leave you with no time to balance work and school and keep up in your classes. or almost everything on her own. Even with working and school, she still finds time to participate in a sorority and loves to go running. She shows it is possible to have a part-time job, go to school and have a social life. "The most successful people I meet are the ones that have the right balance." Rasnak said. Twenty hours a week will most likely give you the motivation to be productive with your free time, while working too much will give you no free time. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little announced Tuesday that former KU student and president of the Republic of Colombia will be visiting the Edwards Campus on Sept. 24. EDWARDS CAMPUS "We are honored to welcome President Santos back to the University of Kansas." Gray-Little said in a KU news release. "He's Juan Manuel Santos, president of the Republic of Colombia, will receive the Alumni Distinguished Achievement Award from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The free event will be held at the Robert Dole Institute of Politics and will be available to the public. Seating is limited. The doors open at 1 p.m. and the event is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Although Rasnak said that sometimes it would be nice to have everything paid for, Eaton said she wouldn't change how things are. I'll go to class because I know that it's my money I would be wasting if I didn't," Eaton said. "I don't take it for granted."

Edited by Sarah McCabe Santos earned two degrees at KU in 1973: economics and business. He worked as a columnist and director for the El Tiempo newspaper and published many books. He has also won the King of Spain Journalism Prize. Before his presidency, Santos was Colombia's first Foreign Trade Minister. He was also a finance and national defense minister and lead the implementation of the government's Democratic Security Policy. In 2010, he was elected president of the Republic of Colombia for a four-year term. Rebekka Schlichting UNIVERSITY Edwards Campus vice chancellor retires after 12-year term Bob Clark, Edwards Campus vice chancellor, is resigning after 16 years of service at the University of Kansas. Clark became the Edwards Campus dean in 1997. In 2000, he was elected vice chancellor. During his time at Kansas, he was a leader in the development of Johnson County Education Reach Triangle initiative. The initiative gives the University $5 million in local donations to fund 10 new degrees in business, engineering, science and technology. So far, a bachelor's degree in business administration and a bachelor's degree in science in information technology have already launched. Clark has also built relationships with local community colleges and Greater Kansas City businesses and organizations. According to a KU news release, throughout Clark's service at the University, approximately 8,400 students have graduated with bachelor's and master's degrees at KU and on went to work in Johnson County. "Bob Clark has led the Edwards Campus through tremendous growth, both in the campus itself and in the degree programs that are offered," Gray-Little said in a KU news release. "Thanks to his leadership and the support of local residents, we are better able to serve Kansas City than at any point before." Clark isn't completely leaving KU. He will serve as the University's liaison for the Center of Science Education, a leadership and development program for K-12 students.

The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality said in July that the initial revised route OMAHA, Neb. — The company that wants to build a pipeline to transport crude oil from Canada to Gulf Coast refineries said Wednesday it has revised its proposed new route through Nebraska to avoid environmentally sensitive areas.

The proposal also upgrades planned safety measures, adding more remote control shut-off valves and inspections, the company said. "An initial scan of the report indicates that it responds to some of the comments raised by the NDEQ and the public, but a full evaluation will now begin," said Mike Linder, director of the state agency. Bold Nebraska's lane Kleeb said the latest new route doesn't go far enough to address her group's concerns about potential erosion of the Sandhills and groundwater contamination, so she believes state and federal officials should block the pipeline. Environmental groups have long opposed the pipeline project because of concerns that it could contaminate underground and surface water supplies, increase air pollution around refineries and harm wildlife. "The route still crosses the aquifer and it still crosses sandy soil, so all of the same concerns remain," Kleb said. TransCanada spokesman Grady Semmens said only 36 miles of the 275 miles of pipeline in Nebraska would cross sandy soils, and the new route entirely avoids the area Nebraska defined as the Sandhills. Joe Mendelson of the National Wildlife Federation said the Keystone XL pipeline puts too much natural habitat at risk. "The best approach is to ditch Keystone XL entirely and embrace clean energy solutions that JOE MENDELSON National Wildlife Federation "The best approach is to ditch Keystone XL entirely and embrace clean energy solutions that don't spill or explode." don't spill or explode," Mendelson said. The pipeline is designed to carry oil from Canada across Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. TransCanada also has proposed connecting it to the Bakken oil field in Montana and North Dakota. President Barack Obama rejected TransCanada's original application for a federal permit to build the pipeline in January by after congressional Republicans imposed a deadline for approval that didn't allow enough time to address questions about the route through Nebraska. Since then, TransCanada has split the project into two pieces. The company began construction last month on the southern section of the pipeline between Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast. --- ANSAN S In her own school, she gates at a so- knitting.

I dare someone to go up to a basketball player and ask them if they are on the quidditch team. Recent events of this summer have brought the gun issue to the attention of many Americans. Multiple mass shootings over the last two months have caused people to reexamine their views on gun control. This has always been a divisive issue and the recent horrific event will do nothing to assuage the intense emotional response that accompanies this debate for a great number of people. POLITICS The deeper problem with gun violence will not be solved by these measures but it will be alleviated. Some would argue that this would not keep criminals from obtaining these weapons. It is right to believe that this will not be a completely encompassing solution but it will seriously curtail the ability of everyone, including criminals, to purchase these types of guns and unnecessary ammo clips. Since the ratification of the Second Amendment, we have seen an evolution in what it means to bear arms. The technology of firearms has grown at an exponential rate, and the types of weapons readily available to the public are capable of inflicting extreme damage, quickly, to large amounts of people. ammo clips have an equally ilegitimate claim for reasonable right to bear arms and a higher regulation of gun purchasing through methods such as background checks are needed. When the Second Amendment was written, it was included because many men in our country were militia and it was necessary for them to have weapons for national security purposes. We are no longer under an immediate threat to be invaded by an enemy (unless North Korea suddenly develops sailing technology), but the amendment still stands because it is important for people to have the right to weapons if they feel they need them in their home for their protection. By Clay Cosby ccosby@kansan.com This right is a basic part of our nation's foundation as are others included in the bill of rights. Like other rights afforded by our founding principles, this one is in need of regulation. Cosby is a sophomore majoring in economics and political science from Overland Park. Follow him on Twitter @claycosby. We have freedom of speech but it is regulated when it comes the regulations have decreased although the technology has continued to become contrastingly more lethal. to slander. It is also regulated in schools and other locations where not all types of apparel are permitted. We regulate freedom of religion when it comes to polygamy. We are able to enjoy our freedoms as long as they do not interfere with another person's inadvertible rights. The assault weapons ban which was passed in 1994, expired in 2004. The ban outlawed the selling of assault weapons. Gun control is a right we have that needs more regulation. The Second Amendment does not need to be struck but it is important to distinguish the intent with which it was written, and how the meaning of the amendment at the time and how that is different from its meaning today. The second amendment was never meant to mean that individuals should be allowed to own an AK-47. Specifically when it comes to gun control it is important to note that in the last ten years, The renewal of the assault weapons ban is one of the ways to regulate guns. High capacity INTERNATIONAL President Obama a conservative By Arnobio Morelix amorelix@kansan.com Not everyone realizes, but presidential elections in the United States are more than a domestic event of exclusive American interest. It is also an international one. That makes perfect sense, of course, given the influence the U.S. has on the rest of the world. As a Brazilian citizen living in the U.S., it is no surprise that international friends ask me about my perspective on American politics. Recently, this topic came up during summer when I was in Switzerland. We were a group of four people representing four different nationalities: Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Brazilian. We talked about the Republican primaries, which were still going on, and about Obama's proposals. We were astonished that guys like Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were seen by many as feasible presidential candidates. They looked like crazy candidates to us. But every country has its fair share of political-nuts, and we could wrap our minds around that. What we could not understand were the allegations, made even by apparently respectable media outlets, that Obama is a socialist or a left-wing extremist. We discussed it, and the conclusion was clear; in our respective countries, Obama would be considered a fairly conservative politician; a guy most likely to be found at our own versions of the Republican Party. While in the U.S., most of Obama's policies, such as universal healthcare, are highly challenged, they are considered pretty much a no-brainer to other developed countries (and even to not as developed countries, like Brazil). Extreme conservatism in the U.S. shifted the political spectrum to the right, and this becomes clear when we make an international analysis. In Brazil, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, a former president seen by all as right-wing, started a social welfare program that makes direct cash transfers to the poor. Food stamps being as controversial as they are in the U.S., I can almost hear the conservatives in an uproar had Obama proposed the same thing here. Other examples of social welfare accepted and often applauded by conservatives outside the U.S. include the Finnish public higher education system, which charges no tuition-fees, and the public health care in Norway, which is free to every citizen. I do not get the opportunity to vote in these elections, but I hope that a bit of international politics can bring a different perspective to those who vote. President Obama may not be a republican in the U.S., but internationally, he comes off pretty conservative. Morelix is a junior majoring in business and economics from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. I am not an American citizen. That means my personal views of politics are irrelevant to the outcomes of this election. In addition, although I really enjoy living here, it is most likely that I will not be around when any changes the next president makes take effect. As we concluded, a candidate like Barack Obama, often labeled as a left-wing politician, would be most likely classified as a center-right abroad.

Western Civ expands one's critical thinking skills and forces one to think about the "big" questions in life. During my Western Civ class discussion sections, we explored these questions: Why do bad things happen to "good" people? Does God exist? Is it better to be feared than loved? I found myself contemplating these questions with classmates, friends, and, ultimately, myself once I left the classroom. Gaining perspective from the world's greatest minds took me on an intellectual journey. I was awestruck by Seneca's optimism. I researched Mill's theory on utilitarianism. I mulled over the morality of Aristotle's premises of nature. These classes introduced myself and other students to an ideological spectrum and forced us to examine what we believe and why we believe it. I believe in the incredible benefits of a liberal arts education. A true liberal arts education should make students better thinkers and should enrich and increase one's intellectual framework. To expand one's intellectual framework, students must step out of their comfort zones. The greater truth is that many students "like" This is unfortunate because the world needs more well-rounded thinkers, more critical thinkers. If truly embraced, Western Civ courses can hone skills that magnify the lens in which one views the world. Sadly, future KU students may miss out on that opportunity. dislike Western Civ because they feel that it is too difficult. Students don't want to take difficult general education courses when they could instead focus their time and effort on courses within their chosen major. The proposed new curriculum will cater to students who want to make their education one-dimensional. Students will avoid taking courses in the Western Civ department to enroll in courses that they Ryan Burton is a senior from Colorado Springs, Colo.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Participators walk down the ramp during last year's charity fashion show hosted by the Douglas County Medical Alliance. This year's show will be held Friday evening at the Van Go Inc. building in Lawrence. Fashion show helps locals in need EMILY RROWN ebrown@kansan.com The models will walk down the runway, trying their best not to trip in front of the audience. They will strut in everything from formal dresses, casual wear to athletic clothing. However, instead of spending their time auditioning to be on "America's Next Top Model," these men and women have day jobs — working for more than 10 different medical fields and Van Go, Inc. The Douglas County Medical Alliance is hosting a charity fashion show tomorrow evening at the Van Go Inc. building in Lawrence. Tickets to the seventh annual event cost $30, and proceeds raised in ticket sales will benefit Health Care Access and Van Go, Inc. Health Care Access is a clinic that helps Douglas County residents with financial difficulties receive health care, and Van Go Inc. gives the under-served youth constructive activities involving art. {"they are] both amazing organizations run by inspiring women who serve those who often fall through the cracks," said Barb Heeb, chair coordinator of the event. Heeb said the show will feature everything from casual wear to formal clothing. She said the fashion aspect of the charity event is rather ironic, because she and others involved are not exactly fashion-conscious people. "We had to convince several in the medical community to walk the runway for this cause," she said. "Many of them serve as volunteers for the clinic. It's really all about supporting the cause. But, in my opinion, that's the beauty of living in Lawrence and being a part of this community. There are so many different styles and different ways to define beauty." She said it is a great opportunity to raise funds for those in the community who are in need. Kathy Ramirez, an operating room nurse, will model clothing by Starstruck. "Health care providers especially have a responsibility to help those who need healthcare and assistance," Ramirez said. "It is very unfortunate that not everyone has access to health care." The fashion show will also have food, a raffle and several local vendors selling their art. Driscoll created a nail design for the event using the event's logo. She plans on donating at least 20 percent of her profits to the charities. One of the vendors, University of Kansas sophomore Dakota Driscoll from Lawrence, was invited to sell her nail art at the fashion show. "Really, any kind of charity would be cool, and I'm excited to be able to donate any kind of profit I make," she said. All ticket-holders receive a 20 percent discount at several stores and restaurants in the Lawrence area. The discount will last from Sent, 6 through 9. "This event is all about bringing people together to celebrate the spirit of giving for two great organizations," Heeb said. "And it supports local businesses — encouraging people to get out and shop and take advantage of local restaurants/vendors."

MUSIC Allison Kite Dylan's new album "one of his weirdest" LYNDSEY HAVENS Ihavens@kansan.com Bob Dylan is a name known to all — he is a legend. Dylan, now 71 years old, is releasing his 35th studio album Wednesday, Sept. 11. His lyrics can resonate with anyone, reminding us "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," or that "The Times are a Changing." We are exposed to an influx of music that ranges from alternative, to pop, to the growing sensation of EDM (electronic dance music), but the "vintage" artists have been left behind. Bob Dylan has managed to remain relevant over the past 50 years, influencing many musicians whose music we recognize from the past, such as The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, to the present, such as Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) and Jack White (The White Stripes). Although artists like Dylan may not receive as much attention as the new and upcoming artists and DJs, he hasn't put the brakes on his work. There has been speculation that due to the title of the album, "Tempest," this could be his final album, signifying the end of an iconic career. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Dylan referenced Shakespeare. This led people to draw the connection between the two, noting that Shakespeare's final play was titled "The Temptest." The album as a whole is said to embrace darker concepts that Dylan fans may not be as familiar with when compared to his previous work. If you have never been a fan of Dylan's music, this album could be the place to start. Dylan already released a music video for the opening track, "Dusques Whistle." The release sparked controversy because of the violence shown in the nearly 6-minute-long video. The majority of the song sounds like it could be from any of Dylan's past albums, but the ending is where "one of his weirdest albums ever truly starts" according to Rolling Stone. Dylan has spent the past year touring Europe, and will start a U.S. tour this fall. —Edited by Megan Hinman Bernie Bloch In this photo, Bob Dylan performs in Los Angeles. Fifty years into his career as a recording artist and a week away from release of an extraordinary new CD, Dylan spent his Tuesday evening where he seems to feel most comfortable — on a stage. ASSOCIATED PRESS INTERVIEW PETER SMITH ASSOCIATED PRESS This Sept. 4 photo shows American singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge in New York. This week Etheridge released her 12th studio album. Etheridge album has nostalgic feel I ASSOCIATED PRESS The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, whose 12th studio album has been released this week, challenged herself to play all the guitar parts this time around for the first time. NEW YORK — At 51, Melissa Etheridge isn't coating on her accomplishments. Take her guitar work. "I kind of thought when I was 30 that you're as good as your going to get. And that's not true," she says. "I have gotten so much better and I'm celebrating it on this album." The album, "4th Street Feeling," has a dozen songs that mostly look backward — to he. parents, childhood and breakups. It's named after a street in Etheridge's hometown of Leavenworth, Kan. "I'm exploring being 51. I'm exploring the maturity, the wisdom that just comes from having gone around the sun 50 times," she says. "My experience is, 'Oh, I'm never really going to get it right. I'm never going to get it done. But that's not the point here.' The point is the journey." "The whole album is new compositions with those old shoes;" she says. Listeners will get some nostalgia as well as new stuff. She tries out a banjitar — an instrument with a banjo body and a guitar neck — on the first single, "Falling Up."

A child, usually a pubescent girl, suddenly begins speaking in tongues, contorting her limbs or playing leapfrog on the ceiling. Her desperate parents turn to a holy man, usually a grim old veteran or a handsome young skeptic, who endeavors to cast out the malignant demon, thus saving the soul of its intended victim. In the end, the monster flees and faith is restored through devotion, sacrifice and a modest pea soup budget. There have been variations, of course. The original "The Exorcist" turned the rite into a violent metaphor for puberty and the rise of feminism. "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" used a demonic takeover as the McGuffin for a riveting courtroom drama. Ole Bornedal's new film "The Possession" lifts the sub-genre out of the mothballs of Catholicism and into the older, richer realm of Jewish folklore. It's a welcome change, although the results end up feeling disappointingly familiar. The film starts off as a low-key domestic drama. Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a recently divorced college basketball coach, has been struggling to reconnect with his daughters Em (Natasha Calis) and Hannah (Madison Davenport) ever since his wife (Kyra Sedgwick) kicked him out. Desperate for something to do during one of their weekend visits, he takes the girls to a neighborhood yard sale where Em happens upon an old wooden box carved with Hebrew scripture. Clyde, being a good father but a piss-poor student of horror movies, buys the thing and lets his daughters take it home with them. Unfortunately the box contains a dybbuk, a parasitic spirit bent on using Em as its latest host body. Realizing his child is in mortal danger, Clyde contacts Taadock (Matisyahu), a Hassidic rabbi who definitely falls under the handsome young skeptic variety. From there, "The Possession" plays out like any number of recent exorcist movies, from "The Rite" to last January's exceptionally bad "The Devil Inside," complete with an intrusive soundtrack and a rushed, hackneyed ending. It's a shame "The Possession" surrenders to contrivance in its third act, because the rest of the film is surprisingly engaging. The characters are well-drawn and some of the scares are at least visually inventive, especially during a memorable scene where a possessed Em appears to inhale a swarm of live moths. Morgan's Clyde character is a genuinely sympathetic creation, a good-hearted clod who just wants to do right by his daughters. Edited by Ryan McCarthy MICHAEL JACKSON ✩✩✩ In this undated publicity photo released by Lionsgate, Natasha Calis stars as Em in the film, "The Possession." ASSOCIATED PRESS Wealth trumps reason in 'Queen of Versailles' Lauren Greenfield's new documentary, "The Queen of Versailles," is an engrossing caricature of the American Dream, personified by the obscene wealth of timeshare mogul David Siegel and his extended family. The film, currently in limited release, could at first be mistaken for a feature-length "Real Housewives" episode in which the low-hanging excesses of the ignorant rich are held up for easy ridicule. Yet Greenfield, who directed the eating disorder expose "Thin" in 2006, is not content to simply rattle gilled cages or settle for the cut-rate voyeurism of reality TV. Instead she delves into the lives of these spray-tanned aristocrats with equal parts empathy and morbid fascination, inviting the audience to decide for itself what would compel someone to build the largest house in America, in this case a 90,000-square-foot monstrosity inspired, apparently sans irony, by Marie Antoinette's Versailles and built across from Disney World. Our guide through this opulent circus is the Queen herself, Jacqueline Siegel, David's current wife and the mother of eight of his children. A former Mrs. Florida winner supported mainly by Botox and silicon, Jacqueline enjoys replenishing her full-touring wardrobe, commissioning outrageous Greco-Roman frescoes of her family and adopting enough little white dogs to start a hunting reserve for Cruella de Vil. One of the film's central pleasures is how it allows the viewer to identify with this garish but strangely likeable woman. Appearances aside, Jacqueline clearly loves her kids but struggles to express that love, buying them things they never ask for, hoarding their childhood keepsakes in warehouses and fearing they might actually have to go to college after the financial crisis puts the future of David's real estate empire in jeopardy. Greenfield's level of access at times stretches the limits of credulity. Would David Siegel, a notorious shrew businessman, really allow her to document the implosion of Westgate, the company he spent decades building? Jacqueline, for her part, seems to view the camera as a one-way therapist, pouring out her doubts and worries with garrulous honesty. The children, meanwhile, seem so desensitized to spectacle that a film crew in their house only warrants the occasional raised eyebrow or paused Playstation. Shortly after the real estate bubble burst, construction on the Siegel's modern-day Xanadu was postponed indefinitely. The mansion's open-air skeleton, now too costly to sell, is perhaps the film's most potent image, symbolizing the careless lending and spending that nearly brought our nation to its knees. In many ways, it's also a metaphor for the Queen of Versailles herself: a lavish construct with an uncertain future. Edited by Stéphane Roque ★★★☆★ MILITARY New book reveals details of Osama raid ASSOCIATED PRESS THE FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF THE MISSION THAT KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN NO EASY DAY THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A NAVY SEAL MARK OWEN with KEVIN MAURER THE FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF THE MISSION THAT KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN WASHINGTON — A former Navy SEAI's insider account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden contains classified information, the Pentagon said Tuesday, and the admiral who heads the Naval Special Warfare Command said details in the book may provide enemies with dangerous insight into secretive U.S. operations. Rear Adm. Sean Pybus told his force Tuesday that "hawking details about a mission" and selling other information about SEAI training and operations puts the force and their families at risk. MARK OWEN WITH KEVIN MAURER "For an elite force that should be humble and disciplined for life, we are certainly not appearing to be so." Pybus wrote in a letter to the roughly 8,000 troops under his command. "We owe our chain of command much better than this". ASSOCIATED PRESS The letter was obtained by The Associated Press. This book cover image shows "No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama Bin Laden," by Mark Wenner with Kevin Maurer. A former Navy SEAL's insider account of the raid that killed Osma bin Laden contains information about At the Pentagon, press secretary George Little said that an official review of the book, "No Easy Day," determined that it reveals what he called "sensitive and classified" information. He was not more specific but said the author was required to submit the book to the Pentagon before publication for a formal review of potential disclosures of such information. "When you have special operations units that perform these missions, there are tactics, techniques, and procedures, not to mention human life, that are in play." Little said. "And it is the height of irresponsibility not to have this kind of material checked for the possible disclosure of classified information." He told reporters during a briefing that the Pentagon is still reviewing what legal options should be taken against the author. If the Pentagon determines the bin Laden book does disclose classified secrets, the government could consider bringing federal criminal charges against Bissonnette. The potential charges and penalties would depend largely on what type of secrets were disclosed. Pybus, in his letter, was more direct, saying that. "We must immediately reconsider how we properly influence our people in and out of uniform NOT to seek inappropriate monetary, political, or celebrity profit from their service" with the SEALS. "We all have much to gain or lose," he said. "In the weeks ahead, we will be taking actions to meet this challenge, and I appreciate your leadership and support of our community in this effort." Last week, Adm. William McRaven, head of U.S. Special Operations Command, warned his troops that he would take legal action against anyone found to have exposed sensitive information that could cause fellow forces harm. The Naval Special Warfare Command is a unit within U.S. Special Operations Command. A lawyer for author Matt Bissonnette, who wrote under the pseudonym Mark Owen, has disputed that he was legally obliged to have the book screened before publication. Bissonnette's co-author Kevin Maurer said in a statement Tuesday that Bissonnette "was meticulous about adhering to his desire to never do anything to undermine the SEALs' mission or put his former colleagues in harm's way" CELEBRITY 69 MOSTRA INTERNAL D'AMVE CINEMATICA In Bernaio al Venere 69 INTERNATIONALE CINEMA IN BERNAIO AL VENERE 69 INTERNATIONALE CINEMA IN BERNAIO AL VENERE ASSOCIATED PRESS Actress Sela Genzome poses at the photo call for the film 'Spring Breakers' at the 69th edition of the Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy, Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2012. Gomez steps outside of comfort zone in new role VENICE, Italy — Selena Gomez's younger fans may not fully appreciate her latest role. Gomez stars in Harmony Kornie's film "Spring Breakers" about four female college students who rob a fast food shack to pay for spring break. They get into trouble when they get arrested on drug charges, and after being bailed out by a local thug, played by James Franco, they embark on a wild soring break trip. Gomez — who is best known as Alex Russo on Disney's "Wizards of Waverly Place" — acknowledges the role is "a little shocking" for her younger audiences. But, she said, "I think this was right for me." Gomez stars with Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine, the director's wife. The film made its world premiere Wednesday at the Venice Film Festival. ASSOCIATED PRESS Agent Answers Agent Access Agent Alerts "WE'RE HERE to make college easier." Well, maybe just your banking.

This is one of the many activities offered to pass free time while in the dorms. CAMPUS Program aims to help freshmen stay on track EMMA LEGAULT elegault@kansan.com Get off to a good start. It's a phrase that echoes through students' ears — freshmen especially — during the first month of school. Between trying to memorize bus schedules, drafting roommate contracts, balancing a social schedule and starting life as an actual college student, the topic of academic success can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Fortunately, there are several outlets specifically to help freshmen to stay on top of their game in class. For these students, it can feel like info about KU organizations, volunteering and employment is being thrown at them every direction they turn. "I know where to go for my club meeting on Tuesday," they might think, "but where can I go for academic concerns?" Last Wednesday, the Mount Oread Scholars (MOS) program hosted an academic success seminar called "Keeping Your A's." According to the Mount Oread Scholars mission, MOS "is a high-ability freshman program that supports engaged students and fosters empowered communities." The seminar was intended to offer tips on how to bridge the gap between being successful in high school and staying successful in college. Scholars who attended the event received handouts with helpful information and had their questions answered by a panel of upperclassmen who were previous Mount Oread Scholars. "It mostly reiterated points that my siblings told me, but it was good to hear other perspectives," Brittany Sawelle, MOS freshman, said of the seminar. Sawtelle said that her main academic concern this year is falling behind in her schoolwork. However, she has set goals to help her focus on keeping current "[I want to] learn as much as i can," Sawtelle said. "That's why we're here. Also, to not fall behind in my work and to just get through the semester." with classes. Another Mount Oread Scholar, Andrew McGrew, felt the student panel was helpful in giving advice. "It was better having someone closer to my age to get an unbiased opinion." McGrew said. One topic stressed by the students on the panel was visiting teachers during their office hours in order to get questions answered and to develop a relationship with them. "I gathered good info about keeping good grades and the importance of getting to know my professors," McGrew said. McGrew said he was planning to visit his professors before the seminar, but he said that attending the seminar gave him "more confidence" when he went to talk to them last week. The Academic Achievement Access Center (AAAC) is one place to consider when addressing academic concerns. The AAAC offers academic support with small group tutoring in many first-year, entry-level courses and individual consultations that are tailored to specific needs, such as better time management or better note-taking skills. "Getting academic support is critical to success," said Maryann Rasnak, director of the AAAC. "The transition, adjustments and differences in demands from high school to college, juggling those responsibilities and the pressure to feel like you're doing your best — that can be extremely stressful, so we help [students] to balance those things." Students can meet with representatives from the AAAC one time, once a week, on a regular basis or just whenever they need the extra help. Alongside the academic support, the AAAC helps students to get connected within KU, whether it is to clubs, organizations, advising or career resources. "This university has an incredible number of services. We take pride in helping [students] connect," Rasnak said. "We do a great deal of connecting and helping students develop so that they have a lifeline." No matter the request or the interest, the AAAC is dedicated to becoming that lifeline for students to depend on when they need help. The AAAC is located in the first floor of Strong Hall and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Edited by Sarah McCabe FILM FESTIVAL Telluride becoming exclusive ASSOCIATED PRESS TELLURIDE, Colo. _ Two years ago, a prominent Oscar voter left the Telluride Film Festival's world premiere screening of "The King Speech" and said with certainty that the film would be shortlisted for best picture. At the festival this past weekend, that same voter issued a new prediction: Ben Affleck's "Argo" will be among the finalists for the top Academy Award. The Telluride festival, which concluded its 39th annual installment on Monday, prides itself on eccentric programming (among the offerings was the nearly three-hour Russian film "Stalker" from 1979) and against-the-grain tributes (the 2012 actor award went to Denmark's Mads Mikkelsen). But in recent years the Labor Day weekend gathering has become something of a herald of awards season success. In addition to booking the best In this year's schedule, the programmers partially may have achieved their desire. Though "Argo," a story about the 1980 rescue of State Department employees hiding in Iran during the hostage It's a record the festival feels conflicted about, as Telluride officials would rather their lineup be more focused on surprises than trophies. "I worry about the time when we don't have 25 Oscar nominations for films playing at the festival," said Gary Meyer, who with Tom Luddy and Julie Huntsinger directs the festival. "It's not our purpose in life." picture winner "King's Speech," Telluride programmers over the last few festivals have scheduled the world or North American premiers of "Slumdog Millionaire," "The Artist," "The Descendants," "Black Swan" and "A Separation," all of which either won or were nominated for prominent Academy Awards. crisis, will leave the mountain resort town with tremendous momentum heading into its Oct. 12 release, the festival did not clarify a clouded awards picture. In large measure, that's a reflection of the movies Telluride couldn't play, mostly because they weren't finished. Meyer said the festival would have loved to consider Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" and Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," but neither film was completed, the same as with Sacha Gervasi's "Hitchcock," which hasn't yet been added to the 2012 release calendar. Concerned that the makers of Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" had held too many sneak previews around the country, Telluride programmers declined to invite that film, and they also refused to book the sex surrogate story "The Sessions," which had played in January's Sundance Film Festival. --- Volume 125 Issue 12 kansan.com Thursday, September 6, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports COMMENTARY Crist looks to improve 10 PAGE 7B Game Day preview Kory Carpenter kcarpenter@kansan.com sers of "The neakest country, 纵联 also congate had Film Crist battled knee injuries at Notre Dame and was benched at halftime of the season-opener last year, struggling to find the field the rest of the season. The chance for Crist to start — and start for the coach who originally recruited him — was too tempting. He arrived in Lawrence with the task of rejuvenating a team coming off a historically bad season and starting from square one with new faces all around the program. The offseason hype surrounding Kansas quarterback Dayne Crist was larger than any Kansas recruit in years. The former five-star high school recruit had graduated from Notre Dame and was looking for a fresh start with Charlie Weis, the coach who recruited him in 2009 but never coached him for an entire season. In his debut against South Dakota State last Saturday, nerves seemed to rule the day for Crist, who overthrew open targets and never looked completely comfortable in the pocket. "I think there were just a lot of throws that I left on the field," Crist said at Tuesday's press conference. Coach Weis said he didn't think Crist was pressing and didn't think he was nervous at all in his debut last Saturday. But like Crist, Weis thinks his starting quarterback has plenty to improve on going into Saturday. And if Kansas fans have any dreams of drastic improvements this season, improvements from Crist are a must. "For me it was all about accuracy" Crist said. "I am much more accurate than the way that I played." "I'm always striving to be as close to perfection as possible," Crist said. "I was very far from it on Saturday, and I'm going to do everything in my power to do better." Great chemistry between a new quarterback and his wide receivers is a rarity, and the miscues in week one shouldn't surprise anyone. But as the season moves forward and the level of competition increases, fans should hope that offensive struggles were just early-season struggles and not something worse, like the possibility that the former All-Star recruit isn't all he was cracked up to be. Edited by Sarah McCabe He finished with 169 yards on 17-36 passing, adding a touchdown and an interception against an overmatched Jackrabbits defense. He was bailed out a few times against that defense as well, making a few throws that would have surely been intercepted by Big 12 defenses and probably taken back for six points. "They have a lot more speed," Crist said of the Rice defense. Crist noted a lack of efficiency with the offense, and it's something he said he wants to improve heading into Saturday afternoon against Rice. The Owls struggled against UCLA last week, giving up 49 points and 303 passing yards to the Bruins, but they're a considerable step up in talent from South Dakota State. Berry a star on the field PAGE 6B SIT DOWN WITH SHEAHON ZENGER'S FOOTBALL ROLE Athletic director confident in coach Weis' ability to turn program around this season. KANSAS JAYHAWKS Sheahon Zenger picked coach Charlie Weis last December to lead the football program. Since taking over the job the two meet every Monday to catch up with each other and touch base for the week. KANSAN FILE PHOTO BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com During the humid Kansas summer nights, it was easy for Sheahorn Zenger to get lost in Little League baseball games. With his family by his side and his sons in the field, the weight of a university would fade away — for a while at least. It wouldn't take long for a Jayhawks fan to recognize the athletic director in the stands and strike up a conversation. "Just when you think you've kind of escaped it, you're right back to talking about football," Zenger said, but he's not bothered by it. "Maybe I'm becoming too one-dimensional, but I'd just as soon talk about that as anything else." It's a different conversation than the ones Zenger was having with Kansas fans in the previous months. There's a new tone, a mix of optimism and excitement, hope and wonder, and for the first time since the 2008 Orange Bowl season, pride in lajahaws football. The casual conversations in the bleachers served as reminders that Kansas fans are eager for this season. It's also a reminder of what constantly fills Zenger and what watching his sons play baseball is supposed to melt away: pressure. By bringing in a new staff and players from pastures Kansas never could graze before, first-year coach Charlie Weis has assembled football's version of Dr. Frankenstein's nonster, which makes Zenger the equivalent of Mary Shelly. No matter what happens in the Weis experiment, Zenger's name will forever be associated with it. "I just want to see the people of the University of Kansas proud each and every day." Zenger said. "That's a burden that I carry daily." At the time it felt like an eternity. but when Zenger remembers his first full year on the job, he said it all happened in a blink: staving off conference realignment, firing and hiring a football coach, watching both basketball teams in lengthy tournament runs and rooting for a handful of Jayhawks in the Olympics. "I look back and I'm as grateful as one can be in a situation like that," Zenger said. "What it did was really expedite my growth experience here as director of athletics, not just at the University of Kansas but also within our conference." Even after hiring Weis — the turning point in an uneasy period for Kansas athletics — the pressure only grew. From the moment Weis pen met Kansas stationery, Weis and Zenger began spending countless hours together, but Zenger wasn't cozy right away. "I've beer around him quite a bit since he was hired, and in the first few months it was more in an administrative nature." Zenger said. "You're talking about ways in which you're going to enhance the program, about recruiting, about staffing, that type of thing." Along with the stress that came in hiring a big name coach, there was the speculation that accompanied it. While searching for Turner Gill's replacement, Zenger often thought what this hire would feel like in six months. In eight months? Will the players perform better on the field? Can this new coach get players to act accordingly off of it? The answers are beginning to materialize. The players came back from summer stronger and are doing better in the classroom, thus looking more like the team Jayhawk fans have longed for. It's all helped ease the pressure on Zenger, but there are still games to be played, putting the stress back at full strength. Throughout his four years as the assistant head coach at the University of Wyoming, Sheahon Zenger was big on repetition. It helped calm the nerves that came with game days. "I've found that routine and repetition is the one thing that subsides that anxiety," Zenger said. "Because it's something you do every day, when you're done with it you feel prepared." started a new routine for only him and the athletic director. To make up for it, Charlie Weis As an administrator, his routine has changed. Instead of watching warm-ups, Zenger has small talk with stakeholders. Instead of checking his game plan, he now takes pictures with alumni. Instead of giving a pep talk, he checks on the students. "I specifically invited him to join me every Monday over in my office," Weis said. "I can keep him up to speed on everything that's happening, tell him how we played, who played well, who didn't play well, mental errors, whine a little bit and complain about the election." "My job is to figure out what we're going to eat," Zenger joked. "It's more of a free-flowing conversation. I'll let him begin with his analysis of the previous game and then shift to his preparation for the next game. As a former coach, I'll enjoy that at a level that others might not." The weekly meetings help keep Zenger close to his experiment without overstepping any boundaries. Even as Weis explains the situation with the team, Zenger is only there to help him as an administrator, not a coach. The weekly chats should ease the athletic director's tensions while giving Weis an opportunity to use his staff and Zenger to collect resources beneficial to the team. "That's something that I'm not sure that every coach would welcome, and he certainly does," Zenger said. "Often your interaction with the coach is through other group meetings or when you're together at practice — just briefly because you don't want to distract him during that time." SEE ZENGER PAGE 6B FOOTBALL Defense prepares for next matchup 33 27 21 FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com Beaming with confidence, the Kansas defense is in high spirits after creating five turnovers in last Saturday's win. But the Jayhawks know they have a greater task ahead when they host Rice on Saturday. Rice's offensive line has a hefty left side. Sophomore left guard Ian Gray stands 6-foot-8, and beside him is junior tackle Jon Hodde at 6-foot-7. The Jahayhaws' defense is presented with — literally — a bigger challenge before them. Senior safety Bradley McDougald runs the ball through South Dakota State's defense during Saturday. The Jayhawks won 31-17. "It's a different size offensive line," said Toben Opurum, senior defensive end and captain. "This team is more of a zone-blocking team, and they kind of move more laterally, wanting to create bigger space for their backs. It's just a different style, and you've got to be able to adjust week in and week out with these different teams that you play" \SHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN The Jayhawks' defensive line managed to create problems for South Dakota State quarterbacks Eric Kline and Austin Summer last week. The defense studied game film on Rice's junior quarterback Taylor McHargue, who could create some trouble for Kansas. In the loss against UCLA last week, McHargue threw the ball 28 times and scrambled 22 times. McHargue's rushing numbers were higher than the running backs for Rice. He took advantage of the size and muscle Rice's offensive line provided for him by scrambling behind them to gain most of his yards on the ground. Kansas must stop him from advancing the ball on his own by keeping him in the pocket this Saturday. "He's a good athlete," said Josh Williams, senior defensive end. "The biggest thing is going to be that he's a scramblem. But we have to contain him and be fundamentally sound in our rush lanes and do things that we are supposed to do." Kansas defensive coordinator Dave Campo was pleased with the effort his players showed last week. He believes Rice will bring the best offense that his defense will see before conference play gets underway in two weeks. "I think they're a good football team," Campo said. "They can be explosive. That's the type of team we are going to face every week. For us, this is a really good challenge, a good test, and we'll kind of see where we are at after this ball game in my opinion defensively." With a versatile quarterback like McHargue, Campo is preparing his defense to be ready for their quarterback to do anything at any time. Kansas must find a way to provide a pass rush, which will be key in limiting McHargue. "I think we are still continuing to do a few different things to help Campo and his players are confident that their defense can make strides this week when they go up against McHargue and the Rice offense. As athletic and fast as McHargue is, Campo knows if his players do their jobs correctly, it will be hard for Rice to move the the pass rush," Campo said. "If we can get to guys with a four-man rush, that's what we're going to do. I think we have some guys that have some talent, and we just have to utilize it." football on the lavhawks' defense. "I think we just have to make sure that we take care of our lane of responsibility," Campo said. "In the running game, we've got to have good gap control and make sure whose got the quarterback and the pitch if they run an option. We have to make sure our lane integrity is good. We have to play with a lot of zone eyes and see when he takes off" - Edited by Laken Rapier PAGE 2B THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 SOCCER THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Jayhawks look ahead to weekend matchups NICOLE EVANS nevans@kansan.com KANSAS 24 The heat wave has been predicted to pass in favor of cooler; autumn-like breezes just in time for the jayhawks to go head-to-head against two more non conference teams this weekend at the jayhawk Soccer Complex. Freshman forward Courtney Dickerson races to beat the UNLV goalie to the ball on Aug. 26 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. The Jayhawks defeated the Rebels 3-0. The Iayhawks are coming off their first tie of the season against Arizona State this past weekend. The team was sluggish to start off the game, allowing ASU to control possession for most of the first half. Kansas managed to snag the lead on a first-half goal from freshman forward Ashley Williams. TARA BRYANT/KANSAN Senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau continued to play strong, earning five saves in the game. Despite gaining an early advantage, the lajahvays could not stop Arizona State from scoring twice in the second half. The goals were both scored through set pieces — the first goal being set up by a corner kick and the second a free kick — the validity of the free kick sparking controversy from the Kansas bench. "Well, I think the two goals we gave up, one of them - the free kick - the goalkeeper obviously got fouled but nothing was called," coach Mark Francis said. The Jayhawks managed to tie the game through the creativity and persistence of senior forward/midfielder Whitney Berry's 83rd minute goal. The team does not plan to linger on the second-half setback against Arizona State, with two more opponents travel into Lawrence this weekend. "Obviously we want to win," freshman forward Courtney Dickerson said. "We want to continue to get better and keep pulling off the win, keep playing as a team and keep progressing. Every position has a certain thing to work on, so we all just want to continually get better." The Jayhawks will first host the Bears from Missouri State this Friday. The Bears finished last season with a 12-5-2 record, reaching the MVC Tournament for the second season in a row. The team lost a strong senior class last year and has 13 new faces on this year's squad. So far, the Bears have managed to gain a 3-4 record this season. They defeated Oral Roberts 3-1 last Sunday, earning their first road victory. Kansas has honed in on the Bears and plan to use its talent to stop Missouri State from starting a road winning streak. They face Appalachian State Friday before they travel to Lawrence to face the lawythaws. The Wolfpack return six starters, including two defenders and four midfielders, and 17 players overall from last season; a team that "We have specifics we want to work on against Missouri State, especially defensively, so we can break them down defensively," Francis said. Kansas will challenge North Carolina State on Sunday afternoon. The Wolfpack have obtained a winning record of 4-2 this season and are currently on a four-game winning streak, including two straight shutouts. accomplished a 10-8-2 record. Kansas has had a strong start this year, with their plethora of returns showing leadership and guidance to the impressive freshman class that has gotten into the groove of playing in Division 1 competition early. The team continues to play with confidence and effort and does not plan to stop that trend this weekend. Kansas will test themselves against Missouri State this Friday at 5 p.m. before taking on North Carolina State Sunday at noon. —Edited by Stéphane Roque PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER ANDERSON CHANDLER LECTURE SERIES The University of Kansas School of Business presents GOVERNOR SAM BROWNBACK Economic Growth & Kansas Tax Policy MONDAY SEPTEMBER 10 · 2012 THE LIED CENTER OF KANSAS 7PM FREE TO THE PUBLIC KU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS The University of Kansas PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER ANDERSON CHANDLER LECTURE SERIES The University of Kansas School of Business presents GOVERNOR SAM BROWNBACK Economic Growth & Kansas Tax Policy MONDAY SEPTEMBER 10 • 2012 THE LIED CENTER OF KANSAS 7PM FREE TO THE PUBLIC KU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS The University of Kansas WEEKLY SPECIALS EVERYDAY ALL YOU CAN EAT 8 FOR $ VOLLEYBALL Serving and passing is key 12 2 WEEKLY SPECIALS EVERYDAY. $8 ALL YOU CAN EAT pasta salad % Brunch ANY TIME WITH YOUR $100.00 JTN Petals Charleston Cougars, who went 25-10 in 2011, including 14-2 in the Southern Conference. The Cougars feature redshirt junior outside hitter Darcy Dorton, who transferred to Charleston after winning a national championship with Penn State. "They've got a Penn State transfer that played on a national championship team," coach Ray Bechard said. "They've got a great middle in Sloane White. So there isn't a lot of name recognition there, but a very good volleyball program." Kansas will finish the Jayhawk Invitational Saturday at 6:30 p.m. against Wyoming, which is 8-0 entering the tournament. The Mountain West Conference coaches selected senior outside hitter Jodi Purdy as the conference's preseason co-player of the year. After Charleston, the Jayhawks play Arizona State Friday at 7:30 p.m. The Sun Devils enter the Invitational with a 6-0 record. When the tournament finishes Saturday, the Jayhawks will have played seven matches in nine days, all at home. Being physically rested is key for this weekend, junior Caroline Jarmoc said, but the team must be constantly preparing mentally for the tournament. It will be the second major conference opponent the Jayhawks have faced so far, having lost to Arkansas in the final of the Arkansas Invitational. "We can always improve on everything, but we always talk about serve and pass," Riley said. "That's our main thing, staying aggressive on our serving, and if we pass well, then we'll play well." Junior defensive specialist Brianne Riley said the key for the weekend was executing their serves and passes. "I think being rested going into the weekend, and just also constantly thinking about driving and outworking the other team, because when the middles drive and work hard, it alleviates all the pressure off the pins to perform," Jarmoc said. She also said the team focused last weekend on controlling their first contact and that it would be important again this weekend, especially against Charleston. "Coach (Bechard) said that they're going to be a really tough opponent, but mostly that it's going to be controlling our side with the first contact and being aggressive on offense and defense as well," Jarmoc said.

FACT FACT OF THE DAY The head replacement referee will be paid $3,500 per game while the remaining six referees will be paid $3,000 — espn.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: When was the last time the NFL and the leagues refs had a lockout? A: 2001, and an agreement was met after week 1. — mlb.com THE MORNING BREW Replacement officials affecting games It's here. The NFL season has officially begun, but you may notice those replacement referees are still there. In June, the NFL officially locked out the league's referees after failing to reach a deal in time on a new collective bargaining agreement. According to the NFL, the two parties started negotiating in October of 2011, with the two parties far apart on financial issues. By Andrew Morris amorris@kansan.com Under the current agreement, NFL referees make an average of $149,000 for the full slate of preseason and regular season games. The NFL has said it offered the officials a raise of between 5 percent and 11 percent depending on experience. However, the NFL Referees Association said the current talks do not include this raise in salary. To me, this bickering is ridiculous and a shame. The referees are the best in the world, and while they make errors, never do they make the errors these replacements have made during the preseason. Each side is blaming the other for not getting a deal done, and it seems the NFL is ready to use the replacements for the entire season. Whether you believe it or not, these referees have just as big an impact on a game as any single player and deserve to be compensated fairly for the job they do. If you watched any preseason games this year, it is clear the replacement referees just can't control the game like the NFL referees. While it is easy to blame the replacement refs, you need to understand most of these guys are from Division II football or even the Lingerie Football League. Yeah, you read that correctly: the Lingerie Football League. Some blunders have been comical, but what will happen in the regular season when a clear bad call determines the outcome of a game? Some of the blunders seem to be unbelievable. When Washington took on Buffalo and the ball was downed on the 4-yard line after a punt, one would wonder how they could mess up the location of the ball. The ref decided it was a touchback despite the ball never coming close to the end zone, and after placing the ball at the 20-yard line, Buffalo had to challenge the call to get it correct. This is probably the most egregious call made during the preseason and shows that the possibilities are endless during the regular season. While many errors were made in past regular season games, most were not common-sense calls. The biggest difference between these replacement refs and the normal crews could be on pass-interference calls. This is probably the most difficult call in the game because of the constant contact between receivers and defensive backs. KU The NFL is the most popular sport in America and makes more money than most of us can dream of, so how can they not afford to give the referees the compensation they deserve? These early blunders have only brought a larger microscope over all the replacement referees. The leading story heading into the opening weekend will be the effectiveness of these replacements, and I only can hope they have a perfect opening weekend. Football is back, though, so just sit back and hope your team isn't on the wrong end of a refereeing blunder. - Edited by Sarah McCabe This week in athletics Thursday No events scheduled Friday CHARLESTON BASKETBALL Women's Volleyball College of Charleston 11:30 a.m. Lawrence Women's Soccer Missouri State 5:00 p.m. Lawrence Women's Volleyball Arizona State 7:30 p.m. Lawrence Saturday RACE Football Rice 2.30 p.m. Lawrence 鸭 Women's Volleyball Woming 6:30 p.m. Lawrence Sunday Women's Soccer NC State 12:00 p.m. Lawrence Men's Golf Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational All Day Colorado Springs, Colo.

Kansas just came off a less than favorable outcome against the Arizona State Sun Devils, drawing 2-2 even after playing two extra periods of overtime. Berry saved the team from an even less-desired outcome, scoring in the 85th minute with an assist from fellow senior midfielder Amy Grow, tipping the match to its final tail. Kansas gained their first tie of the season, bringing their record to 4-1-1, but their goal overall has not changed, as they host two more teams this weekend. weekend and the team to play better than we did last weekend." "Our goal is to win," Berry said. "I think that is always the goal. I mean, to play better than I played last Even though only six games have passed, Berry has shown no mercy to opponents, always being a presence on the field, whether it is creating chances, providing plays or gaining goals. She has started every game, both scoring and assisting two goals. She's had almost 50 percent of her shots on target, always forcing the goalkeeper to stay on their toes. Not only is she an offensive presence, but she is also an inspiration to her teammates, constantly keeping everyone energized and focused with her relentless style of play and energy. Berry claims it is a natural reaction while she is playing. "I think I've always had that mentality, but I think a lot of it is just the run of the play" Berry said. "When something happens, it'll fire you up a little bit more, and it keeps you going." Berry has played soccer since she was only five years old. She has a lot of experience underneath her cleats, playing for numerous club teams and Goddard's high school team be fore dawning the Crimson and Blue four years ago. She doesn't want to stop there, though, hoping one day to play on the professional stage. She also hasn't forgotten what made her first love playing this rigorous sport so much. NCAA NCAA NCAA Forward/midfielder Whitney Berry charges downfield toward a UC Santa Barbara defender in the Jayhawks' opening game. The Jayhawks won the game 2-1 in overtime. TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN "My favorite part is the intensity and the adrenaline rush that I get while playing," Berry said. With so much experience, and so much positive recognition and crucial attributions already this season, it may be hard for fans to fathom Berry needing to improve on anything. But a true, dedicated player always recognizes the room for improvement and always strives to be better than they were a game before. Berry is exactly that, as she admits she still wants to grow and harness her talent to its very limits. "Defensively, I would love to im prove, because I'm such an attacking-minded player that sometimes I lose sight of the defensive side of it," Berry said. While soccer has always been a prominent part of her life, it isn't the only thing important to her. Hailing from Wichita, Berry is beginning the victory lap of her schooling career, a senior who is a community health major. With her time-consuming commitments between school and soccer, Berry's response to what she does in her free time should not come as a surprise to anyone. "I love to sleep. It's something I love to do when I have time to do it," Berry said with a laugh. Berry will continue to have the chance to lead her team hopefully to another pair of victories this weekend, when the Jayhawks face Missouri State and North Carolina State on Friday and Sunday. Edited by Ryan McCarthy JUNIOR LEAGUE ASSOCIATED PRESS Toronto Blue Jays' Yunel Escobar, right, slides into home plate in front of Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters after a single by Adeiny Hechavarria during the seventh inning of baseball game action in Toronto on Wednesday.

Blue Jays avoid an Orioles sweep with timely hitting BASEBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS Steve Delabar (4-1) worked one inning of relief for the win as the Blue Jays snapped a four-game slide and ended Baltimore's winning streak at three. Adam Jones hit a solo home run and Mark Reynolds added a two-run drive off Casey Janssen in the ninth, his sixth in six games and 18th of the season, but it wasn't enough for Baltimore. The Orioles return home Thursday for a pivotal seven-game homestay that begins with four against the New York Yankees, followed by three against Tampa Bay. The three teams were separated by 1 1/2 games atop the AL East entering play Wednesday. Machado hit a leadoff single in the eighth, chasing Delabar, and Darren Oliver issued a one-out walk to Hardy. Lew Ford pinch hit for Nate McLouth and narrowly missed a double when his fly ball down the left field line fell just foul, with manager Buck Showalter coming out to argue with third base umpire Laz Diaz. Two pitches later, Ford grounded into an inning-ending double play. Adam Jones got the Orioles on the board with a leadoff homer in the second, his 27th. Blue Jays right-hander Brandon Morrow loaded the bases by walking three of the next four batters before Manny Machado made it 2-0 with an RBI groundout. Toronto sliced the deficit in half on Kelly Johnson's RBI double in the bottom half, then tied it in the third when Davis hit a one-out homer to left, his seventh. Yunel Escobar led off the seventh with a broken bat double to left and moved to third on Johnson's bunt single. Yorvit Torrealba fouled out before Hechavarria dropped down a safety squeeze. Right-hander Miguel Gonzalez charged and tried to scoop the ball to the plate with his glove, but it rolled past Matt Wieters as Escobar slid safely home, giving the Blue Jays their first lead in September. "My stomach wouldn't settle down until the middle of the second quarter," Zenger said. "That has continued the rest of my life, no matter what game it is. I wish I could get rid of that anxiety, but it's always there." Luis Ayala came on to face Anthony Gose, who loaded the bases with a single under the glove of Gonzalez (6-4) gave up five runs, four earned, and seven hits in 6 1-3 innings. He walked none and struck out four. shortstop J.J. Hardy, Davis followed with a two-run single to center, with Gose making it 6-2 on Jones' throwing error. Morrow allowed two runs and three hits in six innings. He walked three and struck out six. As a coach, anxiety always filled Zenger on game day. It would nestle in his abdomen, making butterflies feel like bees. "ZENGER" FROM PAGE 1 Basebail was key in settling Zenger's nerves this summer, but his kids' seasons are over. Instead, Zenger will watch his children play football. Each day of the weekend will include a game. Lawrence High School varsity on Friday nights, junior varsity and Jayhawks football on Saturdays and Little League on Sundays — with his daughter's volleyball games sprinkled in, too. Yet no matter the amount of pressure on Zenger's shoulders when it comes to Kansas football, all he can do is stand back and wait for his next opportunity to help the experiment succeed. "Any good administrator will tell you that you have absolutely no control over anything that happens on that field; you become useless at some point," Zenger said. "That's the part that's hard at times, because now you realize you don't have much control." — Edited by Stéphane Roque HAPPY HOUR HALF PRICE APPETIZERS, JUMBO MARGARITAS, WINE, & BIG BEERS INCLUDING: BOULEVARD WHEAT DOS EQUIS LIGHT MONDAY THRU FRIDAY 3 TO 6 PM Carlos O'Kelly's MERCEDES CAFE Carlos O Kelly's MORGANIC ROAST THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NSAN SVC AUTOS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. 2012 图为运动员在比赛中跑动的瞬间。 TE/KANSAN game.

Quarterback Dayne Crist passed for 169 yards in a lackluster debut, as the run game did the heavy lifting for the offense. Both Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox gained 100-plus yards last week and will be relied on again. Pos. NAME No. Year QB Dayne Crist 10 Sr. HB Tony Pierson 3 So. FB Trent Smiley 85 So.

Against South Dakota State, Charlie Weis called the majority of the run plays to the left side. Weis liked the combination of experienced of the left side of the line, and used that to his advantage. Rice, undoubtedly, knows this by now. Will Weis keep the run game productive on the left? Or will he place his trust in the right side of the line and alternate run plays to both sides throughout the game? BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com BY THE NUMBERS 216 25 Yards gained by Brandon McAnderson and Jake Sharp in 2007 against Central Michigan, the last time Kansas had two 100-yard rushers in one game before Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox accomplished the feat last week. Years since the last Bluebonnet Bowl was played, Kansas defeated Rice 33-7 in the 1961 Bluebonnet Bowl — the only previous match-up between the two schools. PLAYER TO WATCH Charlie Weis gave Dayne Crist's performance last week a grade that Crist would be embarrassed to take home. Crist graded himself even harder. Anxiety and rust may have gotten to him in the Jayhawks' opener, but it will be hard to use that excuse two weeks in a row. AT A GLANCE Kansas did enough to earn a win against SDSU, but will need better execution against Rice to stay undefeated. The Jackrabbits' 99-yard touchdown run occurred because one defender was out of position on the play. The offense struggled because senior quarterback Dayne Crist overthrew his receivers and some of the receivers admitted to running incorrect routes. The Jayhawks want to correct the mental mistakes and force Rice to stop them. MOMENTUM The Jayhawks are riding the wave of their first win in almost a full calendar year and the fan support is on board with them. More than 46,000 fans packed Memorial Stadium last Saturday and the excitement continues to build. On the field, running backs Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox are looking to follow up their 100-yard games and continue being the foundation of the offense. COACHING Dave Campo's defense will be facing a much bigger offensive line on Rice than they did against SDSU. Multiple players over 6-foot-6, and 300 pounds protect Owl quarterback Taylor McHargue. Campo will need to come up with a way to get through the line and put pressure on their quarterback to avoid getting burned in the passing game. STARTING LINEUP DEFENSE Kansas forced five turnovers against the Jackrabbits, but can't rely on that against stronger teams. Defensive coordinator Dave Campo will need a better showing from his line. Kansas gave up over 200 yards both in the air and on the ground on Saturday. Pos.

This week Weis added freshman Nick Prolago to the depth chart to try and slip him into the role. After Rice blocked UCLA on three PATs, Weis also made an emphasis to get the ball high in the air on field goals. —Edited by Ethan Padway KU PREDICTION 31-21, KANSAS BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ... Kansas makes it two consecutive weeks with a victory. It's still too early to paint this team one way or another, but as long as the Jayhawks keep winning it won't matter. There are still kinks to be worked out on all sides of the ball, but as Charlie Weis said, it's easier to coach a team that's winning. BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ... The Owls' defense stops the Hawkys' offense. Kansas left many points on the field early in the game and allowed the Jackrabbits to keep it close in the first half. Defensive ends Cody Bauer and Jared Williams must invade the pocket and force Dayne Crist to throw ill-advised passes into the Owls secondary. RICE ATHLETICS 19 12 RECREATION RICE OFFENSE The right side of the line is Rice's biggest strength on offense. Jon Hodde is 6-foot-7 and weighs 305 pounds. Ian Gray stands at 6-foot-8 and weighs 325 pounds. Expect Charles Ross to run the ball behind Hodde and Gray. The Owls' offense will provide some lanes for Ross, giving him the space he needs to break free. The concerns surround junior quarterback Taylor McHargue. His consistency was an issue in 2011 and has carried over to this season, but he connected with Sam McGuffie eight times last week and will look for him early and often again this Saturday. Pos.

RG Drew Carroll 76 So. C Nate Richard 53 Jr. LG Ian Gray 72 So. LT Jon Hodde 79 Jr. K Chris Boswell 9 Jr. QUESTION MARKS Rice's loss to UCLA in Week 1 was a frustrating one for the Owls defense. They gave up 35 points in the first half, as UCLA went on to score 49 points. Rice's offense managed play above average, but they received no help from their defense throughout the game. Rice can move the football offensively, but its defense must learn to create turnovers and stop the Jayhawks' offense to give their team a chance at winning. Can Rice's defense limit their opponents after a poor performance last week? 2 0-1 (0-0) FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com BY THE NUMBERS 17 Number of Rice players that made their debut for the team last week against UCLA, including six true freshman. 8 Number of seniors on the Rice roster, tied with Indiana and Colorado for the smallest senior class in the FBS. PLAYER TO WATCH WR Sam McGuffie —McGuffie was Taylor McHargue's top receiver last week, pulling in eight catches against UCLA. McGuffie was a highly touted recruit that spent his freshman year at Michigan before transferring to Rice. The Owis' offense is still trying to come together, but McMargue and McGuffie have a chemistry on the team that could spark the offense against the Jayhawks. AT A GLANCE Rice's offense is built around their quarterback, junior Taylor McHargue. McHargue threw 28 passes and scrambled 22 times last week against UCLA. Despite his position, he still led the team in rushes, yards and touchdowns on the ground last Saturday. Defensively, the Owls don't have many playmakers who can make a difference on the field. Their defense was disappointed after letting UCLA walk on them the entire game. MOMENTUM COACHING Rice finished 2011 with a 4-8 record and are starting off the season on a weak note. However, their offense, win or lose, has found a way to score. Since the start of the 2011 season, the Owls have scored at least 20 points in 11 of their last 13 contests. Bailliff knows what to expect out of his offense, which has performed at a high level each game. David Bailiff is in his 6th season as the head coach of Rice and has a 17-30 record since joining the team in 2007. He served as the Texas State coach from 2004 to 2006. Before earning a head coaching gig, he spent three years as the defensive coordinator of TCU before becoming the defensive coordinator of Southwest Texas State for four years. STARTING LINEUP DEFENSE Rice is looking to do what South Dakota State did last week against Kansas and hope to exploit their weaknesses. Cameron Nwosu led the Owls in tackles last year and is already off a solid start this season with nine tackles and an interception. Nwosu is a key part of the nickel defense that the Owls run. Rice will run a 4-2-5 base formation, with four down linemen, two linebackers, and five defensive backs. Their defense will be the key, if they seek to pull off an upset. | Pos. | NAME | No. | Year | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | DE | Jared Williams | 97 | Sr. | | NT | Jamael Thomas | 98 | Sr. | | NT | Christian Covington | 56 | Fr. | | DE | Cody Bauer | 90 | Jr. | | LB | Cameron Nwosu | 57 | Jr. | | LB | Kyle Prater | 44 | Sr. | | LCB | Bryce Callahan | 29 | So. | | RCB | Phillip Gaines | 15 | Jr. | | FS | Corey Frazier | 20 | Str. | | KAT | Paul Porras | 24 | Jr. | | SS | Malcom Hill | 11 | So. | | P/TE | Tyler Cook | 3 | Sr. | SPECIAL TEAMS Junior kicker Chris Boswell is off to a rocky start after going 17-of-21 field goals last year. Boswell made a 53-yard field goal, but missed a 43-yard attempt later in the game against UCLA last week. The Owls know that Kansas did a good job of stopping South Dakota State's offense last week and that the same thing could happen to them. If so, Boswell will have to be ready to help the Owls get on the scoreboard as much as possible. Edited by Ethan Padway PAGE 8B THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COMMENTARY Five rookies look to make NFL impact DREW HARMS dharms@kansan.com The most rookie quarterbacks to ever debut in a NFL season opener was three, and that was back in the 1960s. This year it has been announced that five rookie quarterbacks will get the starting job for their given teams. In the past, coaches and management believed that rookie quarterbacks couldn't just come straight into the league out of college and start. This method has changed lately with the success of Cam Newton and Andy Dalton last year. This leaves the question: If a quarterback demonstrates talent out of college, understands the new system and is able to read defenses, why not start the rookie? HERE ARE THE FIVE ROOKIES THAT ARE GOING TO START THIS YEAR: 1. Andrew Luck (Indianapolis Colts) — Luck has been one of the most talked about quarterback in the last decade and has sky-high potential. Luck was taken by the Colts as the first overall pick in this year's 2012 draft. He replaces the legacy of the great Peyton Manning as he tries to build his own legacy now. It should take some time for Luck and the Colts to rebuild from last year's disappointing 2-14 team, but Luck looks to be the new face of the Colts, and we'll see how he's developed later down the road. Luck's first game as a pro will be quite a test as the Colts take on the Chicago Bears this Sunday. 2. Robert Griffin III (Washington Redskins) - Griffin won the Heisman last year, and he is the player featured on multiple commercials this offseason. He won the starting job for the Redskins this year Griffin hopes to display all of his talents as the Redskins take on the New Orleans Saints this Sunday. 3. Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks) — Wilson, who played his college ball at Wisconsin, won the starting job for the Seahawks this year. Wilson is probably the biggest underdog on this list because not many believed he would earn the starting role this year. Many people thought Matt Flynn, who got a 3-year, $26 million deal this off-season, would get the nod, but the undersized 5-foot-11 Wilson outperformed Flynn. Wilson's talents were overlooked by many NFL teams as he fell deep into the third round of the 2012 draft. In college Wilson was unstoppable and looks to be sharp at the next level, too. In the preseason games, Wilson has shown his versatility as he was able to make plays with his feet when a play broke down and with his ability to throw the ball with accuracy on the run. The Seahawks' first game is this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. 4. Brandon Weeden (Cleveland Browns) — The 28-year-old Weeden will get the start for the Cleveland Browns after beating out Colt McCoy. Weeden, who is from Oklahoma State, was drafted by the Browns second after taking Alabama's Trent Richardson as the 3rd overall pick. This look to be a rebuilding year for the Browns, but hopefully Weeden and Richardson will prove to be an effective duo for years to come. Weeden and the Browns kick off the season this Sunday against the tough Philadelphia Eagles. 5. Ryan Tannehill (Miami Dolphins) — Tannehill, who came out of Texas A&M, looks to lead a depleted Dolphins team that had a 6-10 record in 2011 and will most likely have a worse record in 2012. Tannehill will not have star wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who was traded to the Bears, and the Dolphins recently cut Chad Johnson. Tan. chill will most likely struggle in his first year with a weak receiving core and bad defense. Look for the Dolphins to get blown out in their first game of the season, which is this Sunday against the Houston Texans, who some experts think could make the Super Bowl this year. Edited by Ryan McCarthy BASEBALL Brewers beat down Marlins 8-5 MIAMI — Rickie Weeks homered twice and drove in four runs to help Wily Perala trophy his first major league start and lead the surging Milwaukee Brewers over the Miami Martins 8-5 on Wednesday night. Corey Hart also homered and drove in four runs for Milwaukee, which has won 13 of 16 to climb within 6 1/2 games of St. Louis for the second NL wild card spot. Milwaukee (67-69) also trails the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh, with Atlanta currently on top of the wild card standings. Peralta (1-0) pitched six innings, allowing three runs and five hits. The 23-year old right-hander struck out three and walked four. NFL CARR 26 Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez (88) carries the ball as Miami Dolphins defensive back Nolan Carroll (28) holds on during the second half of an NFL preseason football game on Aug. 24 in Miami. ASSOCIATED PRESS Gonzalez going back to Kansas City ASSOCIATE PRESS FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Tony Gonzalez's phone blew up as soon as the NFL schedule came out. There it was, for everyone to see — the very first game of what he expects will be his final season. Gonzo is going home. The likely Hall of Famer, one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, spent the first 12 years of his record-breaking career with the Kansas City Chiefs. Come Sunday, Gonzalez will be lining up at Arrowhead Stadium as an opponent, trying to lead his current team, the Atlanta Falcons, to a victory over the franchise where he made his name. But there will always be a big part of him in Kansas City. "I guess it all worked out," Gonzalez said. Indeed, there's a symmetry to the schedule. He's already said this, his 16th season, will likely be his last. It's only appropriate that Gonzalez gets a proper send-off from those who cheered him for so long but didn't really have a chance to say goodbye when he was dealt to the Falcons in 2009. "Obviously, I've been thinking about it," Gonzalez said Wednesday. "When the schedule first came out, obviously, it popped out. Right then and there, my phone lit up with everybody calling me: my family, people that I'm still friends with from the organization, and the friends I made while I was up in Kansas City. It's going to be special." And, he conceded, "a little weird?" Those guys in the locker room are now the ones he's trying to beat. He'll be the one wearing a visiting uniform. Gonzalez has admittedly spent a lot of time reminiscing about his time with the Chiefs, focusing on the good times. He remembered his first coach, Marty Schottenheimer. He thought about the explosive 2003 team, coached by Dick Vermeil, which won the AFC West and scored more points than any team in the league. "I've been lucky enough to accumulate a bunch of really, really good memories," Gonzalez said. "It's funny, because these are the things you actually think about, things I thought about when I saw the schedule, and just looking back on my career there, it was all really memorable. Obviously, the losing seasons, you try to forget about those. But winning, that's what really popped out to me. It was just a great experience out there." The only thing missing from Gonzalez's record is a playoff victory. Not even one. That's largely the reason he was traded by the Chiefs, who were about to go through another major rebuilding job when they agreed to deal their most notable player to a franchise on the way up. Still, even though the Falcons have made the playoffs the last two years, Gonzalez's postseason drought has carried on. Atlanta was one-and-done both times, adding an extra bit of urgency to this season. He decided to come back for one more try. "That was another reason that went into me coming back for this year" Gonzalez said. "That's the goal. That's my 'why' for this year. That's the reason you go out there and put it all on the line." He truly believes this is the team that can give him not only his first playoff win, but a Super Bowl ring to end his career on. "We've got a really good football team, there no doubt about that," Gonzalez said. "It's not just false chatter. We've got a really, really good team from top to bottom, offensively and defensively. I realize that we have an opportunity to go to the playoffs, win a playoff game, and that's what I want. That's why I've been playing this game my whole career, to hopefully get a chance at That Super Bowl. I feel like we've got as good a chance as anybody." The Falcons realize this is a special game for Gonzalez, but they know he shares their bigger goal. They expect all the sentimentality to fade away as soon as the ball is kicked off. "One thing I've noticed about Tony in the time he's been with us is he's extremely consistent," Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said. "Week in and week out, he brings his best game. I expect the same from him. I expect what he normally brings to the game. This guy has a pretty level head. I'm sure it will be different for him going back there. But once we get out there, I'm sure he'll let all those things go to the side and just focus on doing his job and trying to play his position the best he can." There's hardly anyone left from Gonzalez's time in Kansas City. Most of the roster has turned over. Romeo Crennel is heading into his first full season as the coach. But that doesn't lessen anyone's appreciation of what Gonzalez accomplished with the Chiefs. "He probably was the leading edge of that transition to passcatching tight ends and being able to flex them out and use them almost like a wide receiver," Crennel said. "To do that, you've got to have that ability. You've got to have that tremendous ability: hand-eye coordination, great hands, that savvy about reading coverages and knowing how to get open. "Tony has all of that." Gonzalez kept his home in Kansas City for a while, perhaps thinking deep down he might return someday. He finally sold it last year. Even so, he still has deep ties to the community. His brother, Vince, lives in Kansas City. So does his cousin, Dennis, who took over a cleaning business the player once owned. "My ties are just the people," Gonzalez said. "Obviously, there aren't too many people on the team or in the front office because they came in there and cleaned house after I left." Arrowhead can be one of the league's most imposing stadiums for a road team. Gonzalez has tried to prepare the Falcons for what they'll face. "Be prepared," he told them. "You're going to hear the coolest national anthem you've ever heard at the end of it, when instead of yelling 'Home of the Brave' they yell 'Home of the Chiefs'. After every first down they yell 'That's another Chiefs first down' and the whole crowd yells it. They're going to be crazy." He's also got a message for the people of Kansas City. "I would first of all say 'thank you,' Gonzalez said. "The way they accepted me, the way they stuck with me throughout the years, the appreciation that they've shown me. I want to give it right back to them. They made my time in Kansas City a wonderful experience." Crennel hopes the return won't be quite as wonderful. lokingly, he said the Chiefs hope to prevent the 6-foot-5 Gonzalez, who played basketball in college, from doing one of his signature moves after a touchdown — dunking the ball over the crossbar. Ryan perked up when he heard that. "I do want to see it!"

The skill levels of the members of the jiu jitsu club vary, ranging from seasoned veterans with years of practice to beginners without any exposure to the mixed martial arts sport. Many of the club members joined without any experience and ended up loving it. d "When I first started, it was really rough because I was rolling with guys who were a lot better than me," said Andrew Johns, jui jitsu club president. "You kind of get your ass kicked for a while before you learn what you're doing. I mean you have to learn the hard way." Johns said at the beginning that it was difficult and he frequently lost, but his fellow teammates helped him learn from his mistakes. His freshman year he competed in a Chicago tournament and did well, and that gave him more motivation to keep practicing jiu jitsu. Johns has now been practicing the sport for nearly four years — his entire college career. Jiu jitsu is a martial art based on taking people to the ground. The sport is designed so the smaller person has an advantage once taken to the ground. When describing the martial arts sport, John explains jiu jitsu as the part of Ultimate Fighting that takes place on the ground. Other members of the iju jitsu club compare it to physical chess. Jiu jitsu is more than physical prowess, with the smaller person often beating the larger opponent. Chris Goessing, one of the coaches for the jiu jitsu club, weighs in at around 145 pounds. "It is more of a mental game than the physical game," Goessing said. "I like the focus on technique and not on strength because I am a smaller guy, but bigger guys have fun with it too." With so many new members in the jiu jitsu club, there were many different reasons as to why people joined the club, and each new member joined with a different skill level. "I have always been interested in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), and I have a black belt in taekwondo, and I was a wrestler," freshman Tanner Taylor said. "It's kind of like a mix of martial arts and wrestling, so I thought it would be a good fit for me." The jiu jitsu club is not just for guys; there are four girls in the club. One of the newest female members is the club president's sister. "Hearing my brother talk about it is what really got me interested in the club," freshman Katie Johns said. But as far as being a girl, Katie said she has never felt out of place practicing with the guys and gets treated like any other member of the club. "The first couple (of practices) have gone really well. The coaches do a great job of going through the move step by step and breaking them down for the newer people." Edited by Laken Rapier TENNIS Fournier pleased with transfer back to Kansas TYLER CONOVER tconover@kansan.com Last year, junior Haley Fournier decided to transfer from Texas Tech and return to her home state of Kansas to play for the Jayhawks. Fournier went to high school 36 miles away from the University of Kansas at Blue Valley North in Overland Park. She had an impressive high school career, accumulating seven state championships PARKS Fournier Following high school, Fournier decided Texas Tech was the right fit for her. Although Fournier had a good freshman season, she said she wasn't happy playing 11 hours from home. while at Blue Valley North playing soccer and tennis. She was named a two-time All-American in tennis as well as being rated the number one women's tennis player in the state, according to Tennisrecruiting.net. "I got home sick, I just wanted to be closer to home," Fournier said. "I just have such a bigger support system here. It is a lot Fournier will be a helpful addition to the layhawkes for the 2012 season. She was unable to play in 2011 because of NCAA transfer regulations. more comfortable playing at Kansas." "I think she is going to transition really well," Hall-Holt said. "She is definitely a mentally sound player, a mentally tough player, so I think she will add a lot of command to the team." Kansas did not have the best season last year with a 9-13 record, but eight players are returning from last season. And with the addition of a proven winner like Fournier, the team hopes there will be a spark on the court. Even though she has yet to take the court, coach Amy Hall-Holt believes Fournier will be an instant contributor for the Jayhawks in the upcoming season. After a disappointing season, getting on the right track might be difficult, but Fournier is aware of the challenges ahead. After missing last season, she is ready to get back to the grind. Edited by Ryan McCarthy "I feel like I'm on my home turf now." Fournier said. "I'm excited to be able to compete again after having sat out for a year." EXTREME SPORTS A TV camera films during a bullfight in Valladolid, Spain on Wednesday Bullfights returned live to Spanish state TV Wednesday evening, six years after the fights were banned from the widely watched public channel with the broadcast featuring one of Spain's most storied bullfighters. EX Bullfighters make television debut after serving six-year ban in Spain ASSOCIATED PRESS But the Socialists were ousted in November by voters outraged over Spain's nose-diving economy, and the conservative Popular Party that won in a landslide is lied MADRID - Bullfights returned live to State TV with a glittering and music-filled display on Wednesday evening, six years after the fights were banned from the widely watched public channel. The broadcast featured three of Spain's most famous bullfighters and bulls by a renowned breeder, giving a boost to a tradition hit hard by declining popularity and a dire economic crisis. ASSOCIATED PRESS The transmissions were hated in 2006 by Spain's previous Socialist administration, which said they were costly and coincided with key TV viewing hours for young children. Julian Lopez, known by his stage name of "El Jilu", killed three hulking half-toon bulls raised by Victoriano del Rito. He and fellow matador Alejandro Talavante delighted the crowd at northern city Valladolid and were carried out of the bullring on their assistants' shoulders, an honor accorded only to fighters that have thrilled their audiences. The RTVE broadcast was a big victory for pro-bullfighting forces that saw bullfighting banned altogether this year in the northeastern region of Catalonia; it's a defeat for animal rights activists who denounce bullfighting as barbaric. Lopez and the other fighters had waived image rights payments demanded in better economic times to broadcast their battles, a decision that helped Spain's new austerity-minded conservative government in its drive to get the fights back on national TV and promote bullfighting as important cultural heritage. "I am now conscious of the fact that the future of bulbfighting is far more important than my own future," said Lopez. by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, a staunch bullfighting defender. Bullfighting aficionados hope the revived national broadcasts will spur renewed interest in the fights and reverse the trend of increasingly graying audiences seen in bullfighting rings with more and more empty seats. The tradition has also suffered deep cutbacks over the last several years by Spanish towns and cities that traditionally fund fights during the summer months. But bullfighting is steeped in history, and the centuries-old events that inspired the likes of Goya, Picasso and Herningway are also popular in Colombia, Ecuador, France and Mexico. Wednesday's fight is one of the last of this year's season and RTVE hasn't yet said how many it will air next year, though supporters want frequent broadcasts, especially from the most famous bullrings in Madrid and Seville he subsidized buses so Madrid fans 30 or under could get there for €25 ($30) each for the 420-kilometer (260-mile) round trip voyage. Bullfighting foes who were energized last year after Catalonia became the second Spanish region to ban bullfights are decaying the live broadcasts as a waste of air time for spectacles squeezed by declining interest driven by generational change and hard times. "Hopefully new through Spanish TV our media can once again generate enthusiasm among the people." "It's a step backward from the achievement of removing bullfights from the television schedule" said Aida Gascon, a spokeswoman for the anti-bullfight group AnimaNaturalis. She called the move a desperation effort to jumpstart interest in a sport that is doomed to fail, claiming "bullfires are followed mostlv Elite Spanish bullfighter are millionaires who can make more than €100,000 ($125,00°C) for each appearance. El Juli this year started paying half the cost of bullfight tickets bought by people age 30 and under. For Wednesday's event, "Hopeless now through Spanish TV our media can once again generate enthusiasm among the people, the masses," said Del Rio, the breeder of the six bells killed Wednesday by El Juli and two other matadores. Bullfighting, he added, "is something that changes every second, a moment of life, a momentary breath, that I believe will once again take root among the people." VICTORIANO DEL RIO Bull breeder placed by younger people." Alfonso Nasarre, communications director of Spain's state TV, said the decision to include bullfights in the schedule once again was not politically motivated. "Accurate audience data will prove we are right," he said, but he would not confirm that bullfights will form part of the broadcaster's permanent output, saying only that "bulldog- related news will be given a higher priority." Bullfighting advocates aren't easing up the pressure with their coup of getting the fights back on TV. Last March they presented a petition with 500,000 signatures to Parliament, demanding that bullfighting be classified as being in the interest of preserving Spanish culture. Rajoy's administration is expected to introduce legislation that would give the events the designation, which would overturn the Catalonia ban and a 1991 bullfighting ban for Spain's Canary Islands.

Although I don't have much of a comic collection, I'm pretty proud of my comic culture knowledge. I've had realistic crushes on fictional women, and I'm the guy that intricately makes all of his costumes (yes, plural) for Halloween. I love the stories, the outfits and the following. So this weekend, I will be paying a visit to the Free State Comicon at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 111 E. 11th St. Although the event may seem small in comparison to the world-renowned San Diego Comic Con or Planet Comicon in Kansas City, I always like to take a peek at local conventions just to see what's happening. If nothing else, there will be costumed crusaders, free swag and dirt-care DVDs that no one but me really wants to see. What's not to love?

Unfortunately, the concert ends at upbeat lifestyle full of friendly, albeit a bit eccentric, people. I'll be there in my Wolverine Jacket (Halloween 2010) stocking up on crappy horror movies.

I've sang my share of cover songs in the past, but these guys are actually good and play super catchy piano versions of popular artists like Nicki Minaj and Cee Lo Green. The Barrel House was a pretty big deal a few years ago, but management changes and the dismissal of the pianos really halted the bar's popularity. Not to worry, though — the pianists are back and rocking and rolling every Friday and Saturday night. I've said it many times, and I'll definitely say it again, but from costumes to crescendo, Lawrence has an extremely wide variety of things to do at any time of the day. I may partake in a fair share of the Lawrence night life, but there are still tons of things I don't hear about, so just get out there and adventure.

He was most recently cited with a work rule violation, his fourth, after singing Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" with passengers while He was pulled off his route Wednesday afternoon and advised to get union representation. After a meeting between his representatives and MV Transportation management, he received a call informing him that he was terminated. Union representative and fellow bus driver Chef Lee said that unprofessionalism contributed to the decision to fire Morelan. "Dan wasn't happy with me," Lee said, regarding Morelan's reaction to his termination. "The operations manager already led me to believe this was going to happen," Morelan said. "I'm heartbroken for the students. I love those kids like they're my own. And they're the ones I feel the sorrist for." Morelan said he didn't accept and sign the final violation report related to the Sept. 1 citation. An online petition to rehire Dan Morelan gained more than 1,700 signatures in 12 hours.

Dan Morelan said he was cited three times with improper radio usage and a work rule violation about singing on the bus in the past year. 1. During the fall 2011 semester, when Morelan was assigned to transport a family back to the KU Visitor Center, he was cited after he said over the radio, "You didn't tell me they were such a beautiful family." in the back of the bus lane at the Kansas Union. He asked the bus driver to move the bus forward so he can drop off his passengers. When the bus driver didn't, Moreland said over the radio, "Could this idiot move forward." 2. In May Morelan was driving passengers to the University's commencement ceremony. When the traffic controller at the intersection on 11th and Mississippi streets was only allowing traffic to move on Mississippi Street, he said into the radio, "Can someone tell this idiot to count." 3. During the first week of school, Morelan said another bus stopped 4.

Holmes is charged with 24 counts of first-degree murder and 116 counts of attempted murder. He allegedly opened fire July 20 in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater during the midnight screening for the latest Batman installment, killing 12 and injuring 58 people. Documents obtained through an open records request by The University Daily Kansan show Holmes applied for Fall 2011 admission into the University's graduate neuroscience program. In his application, Holmes wrote of attending a school attempting to curb gang rivalry in Castroville, Calif. He alludes that his life would have turned out differently had he chosen a path of violence. "Looking back, my life could have gone in a completely different direction had I not possessed the foresight to choose the path of knowledge," Holmes wrote. "I chose to appreciate an education, cultivating my mind. Since then, I have strived to find new and better ways to learn, to improve." But before the University had the chance to interview Holmes for admission, he withdrew his application in February 2011. His transcript shows a long line of As and a 3.94 GPA from the University of California-Riverside, where he graduated that summer with a bachelor's in neuroscience. Emails between Holmes and the University showed interest in obtaining funds to bring Holmes in for an interview, and a letter to Holmes expressed disappointment in the withdrawal of his application. "I was sorry to hear from Dr. Doug Wright that you are no longer interested in our program as we would have been most interested in having you come for an interview," Elias Michaelis, professor and codirector of graduate studies for the neuroscience program, wrote to Holmes in March 2011. Holmes was enrolled as a Ph.D student in neuroscience at The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. According to multiple news outlets, he dropped out in early June after failing a key oral exam. —Edited by Allison Kohn FINEST PICTURES OF THE 70'S ASSOCIATED PRESS James Holmes, accused of killing 12 people in a shooting rampage in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater, appears in Araapaha County District Court with defense attorney Tamara Brady in Centennial, Colo.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney takes a bite out of a hot dog as he campaigns at the Federated Auto Parts 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Va., Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012. "Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I'm going to put in place," he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "One is to make sure that those with pre-existing conditions can get coverage." Romney also said he would allow young adults to keep their coverage under their parents' health-insurance. "I say we're going to replace Obamacare. And I'm replacing it with my own plan," Romney said. "And even in Massachusetts when I was governor, our plan there deals with pre-existing conditions and with young people." Those provisions have been two of the more popular parts of Obama's Affordable Care Act. "We're not going to have high-income people pay less of the tax burden than they pay today. That's not what's going to happen," he said. In the interview, Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, also said he would offset his proposed tax cuts by closing loopholes for high income tax-payers. "It can tell you that people at the high end, high-income taxpayers, are going to have fewer deductions and exemptions. Those numbers are going to come down. Otherwise they'd get a tax break. And I want to make sure people understand, despite what the Democrats said at their convention, I am not reducing taxes on high-income taxpayers," Romney said. When pressed, however, Romney declined to provide an example of a loophole he would close. "I have some differences on policy with the president. I happen to think those are more important than what word I mention in each speech," he said. Romney also defended his decision to say nothing about the war in Afghanistan or the U.S. troops serving there during his acceptance speech last month at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. He said that he'd been to Afghanistan and the troops "know of my commitment."

U.S. Senators John McCain, Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham urged Washington to help arm Syria's rebels with weapons. 17 killed in car bomb attack AMMAN, Jordan — A car bomb ripped through Syria's largest city of Aleppo on Sunday, killing at least 17 people and wounding 40 in one of the main battlegrounds of the country's civil war, state-run media said. Al-Qaida-style bombings have become increasingly common in Syria, and Western officials say there is little doubt that Islamist extremists, some associated with the terror network, have made inroads in the country as instability has spread. But the main fighting force looking to oust President Bashar Assad is the Free Syrian Army, a group made up largely of defected Syrian soldiers. In a speech delivered to a crowd of nearly 200 followers protesting outside the prime minister's office in Amman, Mohammad al-Shalabi, better known as Abu Sayyaf, told Assad that "our fighters are coming to get you." The warning fueled concern that Syria's civil war is providing a new forum for foreign jihadists, who fought alongside Iraqi Sunni insurgents after the 2003 invasion of Iraq and are sending fighters to help the Taliban in Afghanistan. Sunday's blast came hours after a Jordanian militant leader linked to al-Qaida warned that his extremist group will launch "deadly attacks" to help the rebels in Syria troop Assad. foreign fighters is about 100 but that figure is gradually rising. He spoke on condition of anonymity, saying identifying him further could risk his ability to gather information on Syria. "From this podium, we declare jihad (holy war) against the wicked Assad, who is shedding the blood of our Sunni Muslim brothers in Syria," Abu Sayyaf yelled through a loudspeaker. A Jordan-based Western diplomat who monitors Syria from his base in Jordan said the number of Abu Sayyaf is the head of Jordan's Salafi Jihadi group, which was blamed for the 2002 assassination of U.S. aid worker Laurence Foley outside his Amman home. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. SANA blamed terrorists, the term the regime uses for rebels. Opposition activists could not immediately be reached for comment. The fight for Aleppo, a city of 3 million that was once a bastion of support for President Bashar Assad, is critical for both the regime and the opposition. Its fall would give the opposition a major strategic victory with a stronghold in the north near the Turkish border. A rebel defeat, at the very least, would buy Assad more time. The Free Syrian Army said the strikes came hours after rebels overran army barracks in the Hanan neighborhood. CENTRAL AMERICA ASSOCIATED PRESS A Nicaraguan soldier wears a protective mask as the San Cristobal volcano, in background, spews smoke and ash near Chinandega, Nicaragua, Saturday. The volcano has forced thousands of residents to evacuate their homes. Volcano eruption forces evacuations MANAGUA, Nicaragua — The San Cristobal volcano spewed out a column of ash and gas $2\%$ miles high Saturday, leading Nicaraguan authorities to evacuate about 3.000 people from nine communities around the country's tallest mountain. Residents reported hearing three powerful explosions in the volcano as the cloud began billowing skyward and ash drifted over nearby villages. "This activity could affect some 500 families totaling 3,000 people, so we decided to evacuate them," said Guillermo Gonzalez, executive director of the government's disaster agency. Civil defense personnel said 300 soldiers were sent to evacuate people and care for them. MIDDLE EAST Javier Mejia, director of Nicaragua's geological institute, said monitoring instruments showed "strong activity" in the volcano. "We do not rule out anything, but call for calm," he said. The 1,740-meter (5,740-foot) volcano sits 140 kilometers (87 miles) northwest of Managua, the capital. It has been active since 1520, Mejia said. Nicaragua has been on alert since a strong earthquake shook neighboring Costa Rica on Wednesday and then a swarm of 17 minor tremors were recorded in the area around Lake Managua next to the capital the following day. Pakistani forces push back KHAR, Pakistan — Pakistani security forces pushed Taliban militants who came from Afghanistan back across the border after more than two weeks of fighting in a mountainous tribal region, spokesmen for both sides said Sunday. The government says over 100 people were killed in the offensive. The violence in the northwestern Bajur area highlighted the growing problem of Taliban militants using sanctuaries in Afghanistan to attack Pakistan. The frequency of the raids has increased, and this was the first instance in which Pakistani Taliban militants coming from Afghanistan seized and held territory in Pakistan for a significant amount of time. Pakistan has called on Afghan and NATO forces to do more to stop militants from crossing into the country. Kabul and the international coalition have acknowledged the problem, but also want Pakistan to do more to stop militants holed up on its territory from launching attacks into Afghanistan. Security forces finally managed to push the militants back from the Salarzai region of Bajur on Saturday, said Jehangir Azam Wazir, the top political official in the area. "Unexpectedly, the militants showed tough resistance this time, but finally our security forces along with volunteers of the Salarzai militia succeeded in eliminating them," said Wazir. The dead included at least 80 militants, 18 civilians, 12 anti-Taliban militiamen and eight soldiers, he said. An additional 13 soldiers are missing and are believed to be in the hands of the Taliban. Hundreds of people who were trapped by the fighting in a string of villages along the border were finally able to leave Saturday. They had been confined to their homes, and many were running low on food. "Those days were very difficult and passed with a lot of hardship," said Hikmat Jan, who had been stranded with his family in Gambat village. "We were unable to go out and were tense, fearing the militants would come kidnap us or we would be killed by shelling or starve to death because we were running out of food." Jan said the dead were strewn across the village. "I saw many bodies in the fields and streets," said Jan. "I don't know whether they were militants, volunteers or fellow villagers." Gul Mohammed, who was caught outside his home in Batwar village by the fighting, said he was finally able to reunithe with his relatives after weeks of separation. "I had no hope I would be able to see my family and my children alive again," said Mohammed. "Nothing gives me more happiness than seeing my family back safe and alive." crimson AND BLUE TUESDAYS at JOCK'S NITCH 25% OFF All Regular Priced Kansas Jayhawks Merchandise Limited Time Only!

Movie reviews with Landon McDonald First Summit bisected "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn," the bloodsucker romance scheduled to finally run dry this November. Then Lionsgate announced its planned "Hunger Games" trilogy would become a "quadrilogy." Everywhere you look these days, franchise bloat is on the rise. Even Middle-earth isn't safe from the shadow of maximized profitability. Peter Jackson has announced that his deliriously anticipated version of "The Hobbit" will now span a trilogy, with "The Desolation of Smaug" and "There and Back Again" set for release in December 2013 and July 2014, respectively. This prompted much debate among the faithful: Was his choice a cynical cash-grab or an effort to give J. R.R. Tolkien's beloved novel, which barely cracks 300 pages, the definitive adaptation it deserves? Will the films benefit from the expansion, which is said to draw extensively from Tolkien's many appendices, or suffer a "Dark Knight Rises" level of dramatic inertia? the dwarves can wait. The dragon Smaug, however, is another matter entirely, especially since the Lonely Mountain's resident firebreather is the impetus behind the entire story. Cumberbatch, who also voices the bejeweled beast, has indicated in recent interviews that Smaug may not appear in this December's "An Unexpected Journey." Will audiences feel cheated having to wait an additional year for Weta Digital's newest motion-capture marvel, one that's rumored to be every bit as revolutionary as Andy Serkis' Gollum? I like to give Jackson the benefit of the doubt here. It's worth noting that the original "Lord of the Rings" was only budgeted for two movies until Jackson convinced New Line to finance his trilogy, a move that led to what many consider the high water mark of fantasy cinema. When I saw him at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, he seemed positively giddy about the possibilities offered by a third film, which would involve Gandalf ( Ian McKellen) and the rest of the White Council crossing staffs with the mysterious Necromancer of Dol Guldur (Benedict Cumberbatch), an early incarnation of the dark lord Sauron. If a storyline that intriguing takes another film to cover, so be it. Bilbo (Martin Freeman) and Look, I'll admit we don't technically need three "Hobbit" movies. A faithful rendering could have been accomplished with a single 150-minute film. But given Jackson's formidable track record handling Tolkien, what self-respecting geek would deny him the right to revisit Middle-earth? As Bilbo himself learns, every adventure requires a willingness to embrace the unexpected. MOVIES WRITE TOWN ASSOCIATED PRESS Edited by Laken Rapier Director Kim Kiduk poses with the Golden Lion he won for his movie 'Pieta' at the awards photo call during the 69th edition of the Venice Film Festival. 'Pieta' wins best film at Venice Film Festival AR1 In a departure from the usual acceptance speeches, Kim thanked the jury and festival audience with a short song in Korean, leaving the theater in rapt silence. (AP) — South Korean director Kim Ki-duk's drama "Pieta," the brutal story of a debt collector who cripples those who can't pay until he meets a woman who claims to be his mother, won the Golden Lion for best film at the 69th Venice Film Festival on Saturday. In the film, Hoffman plays a charismatic sect leader who both befriends and enthralls a World War II veteran, played by Phoenix, who is drowning in homemade swill and unable to find a job or a life purpose. The Silver Lion for best director went to Paul Thomas Anderson for "The Master," a film inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard Hoffman accepted both awards on behalf of both Anderson and Phoenix, who had continued from Venice on to Toronto to promote the film. The movie's stars, Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman, shared the prize for best actor. ASSOCIATED PRESS Rare photo on display This photo released Friday by Amherst College Archives and Special Collections and the Emily Dickinson Museum shows a copy of a cica 1860 daguerreotype purported to show a 30-year-old Emily Dickinson, with her friend Kate Scott. Bronx, New York AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — Scholars at Amherst College in Massachusetts believe a collector may have what would be just the second known photo of Emily Dickinson. The college says the collector, who wishes to remain anonymous, bought the photo in 1995 in Springfield. He brought it to the college's archive and special collections staff in 2007, and they've been researching it since. Last month, it was publicly shown during the Emily Dickinson International Society conference in Cleveland, Ohio. The daguerreotype, dated around 1859, appears to show Dickinson sitting next to a friend, Kate Scott Turner. There's strong evidence it's Dickinson, including comparisons of high-resolution digital images of the newer photo with the known image, from 1847, said Mike Kelly, head of the archive and special collections department at Amherst College. Kelly said perhaps the best evidence is an ophthalmological report that compared similarities in the eyes and facial features of the women in the photos. "I believe strongly that these are the same people," concluded the doctor who wrote the report. Researchers can't yet definitively say the photo is Dickinson, but "I think we can get beyond reasonable doubt," Kelly said. YOU. CAN!

Follow walking guidelines to prevent communism If I was a callous, spineless villain, I'd tell you that the last two months before the presidential election are my favorite months of the year. Every four years, we get that wonderful chance to passively insult each other's personal beliefs, shamelessly pointing our fingers and making the all-too-important choice of which crooked politician we trust to take the helm. Aside from "he's a socialist," and "he's a heartless billionaire," one of the more popular slurs being tossed around this election cycle regards who or what is "killing the American dream." Right-wingers will argue that universal healthcare is to blame, and left-wingers will say overly-gluttonous business ventures are killing it off. The concept of the American dream is much more than that, though. There are a slew of threats to America that fly under our collective radar each day. Thankfully, society does a pretty good job of putting a stop to them (as evident with the recent cancellation of future "Jersey Shore" seasons). But even in a quaint, civilized town such as Lawrence, there's a surprising amount of people who display certain behaviors that raise red flags and scream, "I'm a fascist!" Drunk, I am a womanizer. Sober, I don't talk to women. God, please explain this. Thank you. There's no reason for my actions, but when I see a defenseless squirrel on campus, I am required to chase it up the nearest tree. By AJ Barbosa abarbosa@kansan.com Easy example: slow walkers. Early example Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who defines the American dream as, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Life, liberty and happiness are the key words in that statement, but we've unfortunately overlooked "pursuit". When I'm stuck behind a gaggle of slow-peddlings morons, not only am I unable to pursue life or liberty, I can't pursue anything. The problem is only compounded on sidewalks in between classes. There's usually a steady flow of students walking by on the left, leaving about six feet of wiggle room on the right side. When four or five people clog up that already narrow corridor, the sorry souls behind them are left with one option: high-tail it through the grass or through the street. Try "pursuing" your constitutional right to life as you get bulldozed by the Park and Ride bus. to indoctrinate the masses and overthrow the government. Then, we'll all be communists. Other times, you don't have the choice of risking your life to slip past the slowpokes; particularly on stairs. This leaves you with no other option than to adapt their sloth-like saunter and quietly pray for lightning to strike three feet in front of you. Since that almost never happens, you turn pissed off and get in a horrible mood. Later, in your philosophy discussion, you'll get irritated and you'll start to argue against everything everyone says. You'll say, "you know what? Karl Marx was right," just because you all-of-a-sudden hate everyone and want to push their buttons. You'll have argued it enough that you start to believe it, and you'll start to wish we were all communists. You'll start hanging out with other like-minded idiots with whom you'll band together to devise a plan I know I just blew that completely out of proportion, but without ample room or a "fast lane" to walk in, it could happen. A communist overthrow is one of the least likely scenarios that could stem from slow walkers, but the more realistic possibilities are just as frightening. Luckily, it's a simple fix: start walking at a normal, brisk pace or you'll be at risk of sending our country spiraling downward into the black hell of communism. If you love your country, it shouldn't be a difficult choice. Girls, please stop wearing running shorts and cowboy boots. It's not a good look And the post-game awkward sunburns have arrived.

Don't be afraid to fail; take chances, build your resume INSPIRATION W whenever someone tells me "no" I think to myself, "we'll see about that." I believe that for everyone that tells you "no," there is someone out there willing to say "yes." And that's all you need, that one person to give you a chance. It has nothing to do with being arrogant or conceited, but if someone is willing to put in the time and effort, there should be no reason why a person should not be given an opportunity. Some of the most successful people's ideas are turned away, doors slammed and dreams temporarily shattered before someone gives them a shot. Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Dr. Seuss, J.K. Rowling, George Foreman and Mark Cuban are just a few successful people that were once told "no" If those people had not pushed through with determination to see more than what others saw, we would not have Disneyland, "Green Eggs and Ham" or light bulbs, to name a few things that are a part of our culture and lives.

Just so he can do his goal post jump shot. downs of life before we graduate. If you are willing to put in the time and effort, there is no valid reason for anyone to turn you away. I can recall having a teacher doubt my writing abilities or hearing from friends how hard it would be to land an internship. But I never let those negative comments change my ultimate goal. I knew if I wanted to get better at writing, I had to practice and write in as many publications as I could. If I wanted to intern, I needed to have a resume that stood out because, let's face it, we're in school for a reason: to land our ultimate job. The unemployment rate in Kansas rose between June to July, leaving 10 million people without jobs. The competition is so brutal that college graduates are willing to take unpaid internships in hopes that it will land them a full-time job. That's when you realize that all these pieces of the puzzle begin to come together. The successful people are the ones that have confidence in their abilities, willing to always improve, and thinking ahead to the future. Now is the time while were in college to bulk up those resumes, think about our future careers and what it's going to take to get there, have the confidence and will power to see things through and let obstacles be a challenge we gladly accept. I am sure that Walt Disney didn't just wake up and try to build the "Happiest Place on Earth" in one day, but he knew it took preparation and patience to get to his ultimate goal. As a senior, I am hopeful for a successful future but it hasn't come easy. Then I tell myself that if it were easy, everyone would be doing it. If you're reading this as a college student, then you're almost there, so stay on track. Don't take "no" as a final answer, and if you ever find yourself discouraged again, remember that success isn't permanent but neither is failure.

It's not news that college students have a tendency to use language incorrectly, improperly or just kind of stupidly (that's how half of all hashtags are invented). Particularly, there's an inclination to use language that implies a meaning very different from what the speaker actually intends. There are plenty examples of this that really irk the English major within me who sometimes just wants to take a red pen to the world: using irony as a synonym for coincidence, claiming a test is going to "literally" kill you when, if this was true, I'd be really concerned for the kind of classes you're paying for and the fact that 75 percent of all the people I know apparently missed first grade grammar as they still use "there," "their" and "they're" interchangeably. All these misuses of language are the equivalent of nails against a chalkboard for me—a chalkboard that murders all I hold dear in the world. Yet the type of misuse of language that not only irks, but concerns me. A misuse I hear frequently on campus, even from the mouths of intelligent, sensitive, totally-paid-attention-in-first-grade people. When people say "gay marriage" instead of "marriage equality." See, when someone says they're "for gay marriage," I get that they mean marriage equality. I get that they support the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Questioning, or LGBTQ community. I get they want people to be free to do what they want, legitimate love, rainbows on wedding cakes—the whole progressive, beautiful shebang. I know they're probably someone who either, one, cares about equality for humankind or two, thinks it's none of their damn business who somebody wants to spend the rest of their life with. Either way, they're on the right track. But saying "gay marriage" rather than "marriage equality" excludes and erases the identities of a whole lot of people. Maybe you're asking yourself, "but whatever could be wrong with saying you're 'for gay marriage?' What's the difference between 'marriage equality' and 'gay marriage' anyway—they're the same thing right?" Except no. They're not. Except no. They're not. Say you have two women, both of who identify as lesbians. They meet each other, bond over KU basketball, "Doctor Who," and their mutual adoration of pugs. They fall in love and decide to get married. I'm going to be optimistic for theirs' and our theoretical future and say they are legally allowed to get married wherever they are. They both identify as gay. They could be said to have a "gay" marriage. By Katherine Gwynn kgwynn@kansan.com Now let's take this same fictional couple and have everything about them and their relationship stay exactly the same except for one thing: one of them identifies as bisexual. Our bisexual lady in question is still in love with a lady. She still totally wants to marry this lady. She does marry this lady. These are two ladies, married, completely in love, and so freaking cute that sometimes people just stop and think, "what a cute gay couple-yay for gay marriage!" You want to be for gay marriage? Sweet, me too. But please don't ignore trans marriage, bisexual marriage, pansexual marriage, or any kind of marriage along the way. There are plenty of people who are not legally able to access marriage in the United States who do not identify as gay. After all, there's more to LGBTQ than the L and the G. The B and the T and the Q, and all those identities that aren't even encompassed by a catchy little umbrella acronym? They still exist, and they're still valid, and some of those people want to get married too. Gywyn is a sophomore majoring in English and women, gender, and sexuality from Olathe. Follow her on twitter @ AlidiosGywyn. "The term 'gay marriage' makes identities beyond 'gay' invisible. 'Marriage equality' acknowledges those various identities, but also would expand the political efficacy of the movement and include, for example, people who don't have citizenship, trans individuals, bisexuals, polyamorous people, asexuals, and more." Liam Lair said, a graduate student in the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department. The thing is, one of these ladies is not gay—she's bi and her sexual orientation doesn't alter depending on the gender identity of the person she happens to date, sleep with, love or marry. Maybe she's okay with you calling her marriage gay. Maybe she's not. It's better not to presume because presuming usually means unintentional douchebag behavior, and act according to the latter. Guess what you can say to communicate advocating for both these awesome fake couples' access to equal rights. If you said "I'm for marriage equality," you probably aced first erade English, didn't you?

PAGE 6 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN DAN FROM PAGE 1 "He made my days better," McDuffie said, adding that he was personally affected by Morelan's kindness. "So I thought we should try to get him back." McDuffie originally heard about Morelan's firing through a Facebook fan page called "We Love Dan - The KU Bus Driver", where any students have expressed their support for Morelan. After the fan page's creation in 2009, Morelan said his supervisors became increasingly critical of his driving because of his popularity with students. "As soon as the Facebook fan page went up, my life went into the craner." Morelan said. Morelan said he has witnessed his supervisor filming him and other bus drivers on her iPhone conspicuously on campus. Skyler Richardson, a senior from Salina and founder of the Facebook fan page, said he has also seen an MV Transportation employee hiding in the buses around campus watching bus drivers. Jeremy Stacy, the operations manager for MV Transportation, said the company can't confirm the details of Morelan's violations because it does not comment on confidential information related to personnel decisions. "MV's mission is to be the standard of excellence in the provision of passenger transportation services". Stacy said. "We accomplish this by maintaining a high standard of safety and professionalism. Although I'm not at liberty to discuss the details surrounding individual changes in personnel, I can assure you that any changes that have been made were done so in the name of maintaining safety and professionalism in service to our clients, the public, our passengers, and our employees." University spokesman lack Martin said the University can't comment on the situation. "We contract with MV to deliver transportation services and are not involved in the decisions they make regarding their employees," Martin said. "We also don't have anything to add to what's already been said." Morelan said he would drive a KU bus again if a grievance succeeds or if MV Transportation decides to rehire him. Morelan said he is planning to consult with an attorney and file a grievance with MV Transportation within the next couple of days. He said union representatives will not support him with his grievance. "Yes, for the kids," Morelan said. "You spend a couple years with them, and they become more than just passersby. They're your friends, your families." According to the union contract of MV Transportation employees, a grievance can be filed to appeal the discharge of an employee within seven days of the firing. —Edited by Joanna Hlavacek SUMMER BREAKFAST TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN Morelan teaches supporter Qing Leu how to roast a hot dog over the fire during his babcock restaurant evening.

SCCA University to test e-books ACADEMICS JOE DAUGHERTY jdaugherty@kansan.com University textbooks are getting a 21st century facelift. The University's new e-book pilot program, sponsored by the Information Technology department and the KU Bookstore, will allow students to their opinions on whether professors should require digital or traditional materials for the classroom. "The goal of this pilot is to be able to provide faculty with information that will help them make informed decisions about what materials to use in their class," said Paul Farran, chief of staff for The University of Kansas Chief Information Officer. This program will conduct a study with four pilot classes this semester, including PHIL 160, HSES 330, HESS 260 and BIO 246. The pilot only uses one section in each class and includes about 700 students. This month, a survey will be available on Blackboard asking students about the acquisition process of the materials and how accessible they were online. During finals week, a second survey will be posted about the satisfaction with the use of digital materials compared to the use of traditional materials. Instead of buying a physical textbook, Farran said students can buy an access code for the textbook at the KU Bookstore or go online and purchase one. Another goal of the program Farran said is to see how University officials can better support students' use of digital materials. The prices of traditional and e-books differ, but both can be cheaper depending on the circumstances. "E-books are not always cheaper, especially when you factor in that you can buy used copies of the traditional books," said Estella McCollum, Director of KU Bookstores. "E-books with additional access codes to homework a lot of times are cheaper than buying a used copy of the book and having to buy a new workbook." KU Nutrition Professor Marty Glenn's HSES 330 class is one of the four classes in the pilot. Glenn volunteered after the KU Bookstore sent out a mass email asking faculty for their participation in the program. "I knew the e-books are a new thing and the way of the future, so I just wanted to see what it was like for myself more than anything," Glenn said. "I had never really required a textbook before, and I wanted to find a way to include a book, so I thought this would be a good way to do that." Glenn said the convenience of an e-book and the ability to access it anywhere would be what students would like most about the digital materials. Another feature that Glenn said he believes will be a benefit to the students is the study guides built into the e-books. These study guides show the answer and then take you directly to the page in the book where the material was covered. Sedrick Baskin-Ward, a junior from Kansas City, Mo. enrolled in HSES 330, that he likes some of the benefits from using e-books, but he also likes what traditional materials have to offer as well. Edited by Christy Khamphilay "It has its ups and downs," Baskin-Ward said. "As far as having online homework and a book online it is great, but when you need help it is a struggle to get your question answered by the teacher especially when the assignments are timed."

Its fledglings have already hatched, but its large nest is hard to miss, nestled in a tree along the water. Until recently, few visitors were able to paddle the river — also known as the Kaw — to see the eagles and herons that fish here and perch in the cottonwoods, sycamores and willows along its banks. A bald eagle misses on a strike in the shallow waters next to a Kansas River sandbar near Lawrence. Until recently, few visitors were able to paddle the river (also known as the Kaw) to see the eagles and herons that fish here and perch in the cottonwoods, scyamores and willows. Friends of the Kaw has been working with communities over the past decade to add boat-launch areas and to take groups out on the river to see the wildlife that calls it home But an environmental advocacy group called Friends of the Kaw has been working with communities over the past decade to add boat-launch areas and take groups out on the river to see the wildlife that calls it home. ASSOCIATED PRESS In part because of this work, the river was designated in July as the newest addition to the National Water Trails system. The designation encourages state, local and federal governments to work together to increase water recreation, promote tourism and help local economies. "The Kansas River I think is fairly unique," said Laura Calwell, a spokeswoman for Friends of the Kaw. "It's a big, wide, prairie-based river and because of all the sandbars, it's like having an ocean beach in the middle of Kansas. And many of the rivers that I've paddled on in the United States, while they are beautiful, they don't have any sandbars. I'm like,' Oh, I miss my sandbars on the Kansas River'" Up on those driftwood-strewn sandbars, paddlers look for frogs and the tracks of raccoons and deer that drink from the waters. The sandbars are public property, so paddlers are free to picnic and camp there, often with nobody else around. "Right now as it stands on the Kansas River, if you are on a float trip you are probably not going to see another group," Calwell. "You might, but probably not. You really have the whole river and the sandbars to yourself." The river is appropriate for novice canoers and kayakers when the water level is low, as it is now with this year's drought. Many sections are no more than knee-deep, which may surprise newcomers because the river is as wide as two football fields in some spots. But it's so shallow paddlers occasionally have to push their boats over sandbars. And because the state is so flat, the river doesn't move fast, with water dropping only about 2 feet in elevation per mile (about a half-meter per 1.6 kilometers). That makes it safe and easy for family outings, but Calwell recommends passengers be at least 5 years old and paddlers at least 14, accompanied by an adult. The river gets the most recreational use from spring through mid-October, though canoers and kayakers continue to paddle on warm days in late October and November. The Kansas River is named after the Kanza or Kaw Indians who once lived along its banks. The waterway begins where the Smoky Hill and Republican rivers join at Junction City near the Fort Riley Army base. It then flows about 170 miles (273 kilometers) eastward taking paddlers through the scenic Flint Hills, two college towns and the state's capital before it dumps into the Missouri River at Kaw Point in Kansas City, Kan. It was at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers that the Lewis and Clark expedition camped more than 200 years ago as they journeyed westward to explore the Louisiana Purchase. But prior to a decade ago, the Kansas River had only three public boat-launch areas, with another four or five on tributaries, Calwell said. With 11 public access areas added since then, the Friends of the Kaw is coming close to its goal of a public boat launch every 10 miles (17 kilometers). Eventually the group hopes to add more at five-mile (8.5 kilometer) intervals. Five-mile stretches are popular among novice paddlers because they take about two hours to complete, not including breaks, compared to three to four hours for 10-mile stretches.

The victory also capped an undefeated seven-match home stand. Jarmoc earned tournament MVP honors after hitting percentages of .381, .824 and .478 against the College of Charleston, Arizona State, and Woming. "I've just been working on eliminating errors and I definitely think that worked," larmoc said. Kansas defeated Wyoming Saturday night in three sets to take the tournament title. Wyoming surprised the layhawks with their strategy, often committing three blockers to a Jayhawk hitter. "They present certain problems because their system's a little bit different than what you see", coach Ray Bechard said. "They play a little more fast-break and off-speed than you might see." The Jayhawks swept all three sets 25-13, 25-21 and 25-18. However, as the Cowgirls committed blocker- ers up front, the Jayhawks' hitting percentage decreased, dropping to .316 in the second set and .214 in the third. Despite this, Wyoming only recorded five blocks for the game. Bechard said although the team wasn't used to seeing three blockers, he was more upset that his team only notched one block during the match. "Five blocks is not a lot to have against you, but one is obviously a poor number," Bechard said. "What they do when they run hitters in your zone, they're trying to get one-on-one matchups. You've got to win the dig battle in that situation, and that's what we did." Junior libero Brianne Riley helped the Jayhawks win the dig battle, 47-41. Riley had 21 digs on the night, averaging seven per set. Against Arizona State in the Jayhawks' second match of the tournament Friday night, Riley notched 23 kills during the four-set match, keeping Arizona State from distancing themselves from Kansas during the match. Arizona State took the first set from the Jayhawks, 25-20. With the second set tied at 17, Kansas went on an 8-2 run, capped by two digs from Riley on the set's final point. "If she wants to be an elite libero in this league at this level, that's what we need from her," Bechard said. "She dug a lot of hard-driven balls late in that set that allowed us to transition and score some points." After Arizona State used a 5-0 run to tie the third set at 14, the Jayhawks tied on eight blocks during the set to hang on for a 26-24 set victory. In the fourth set, neither team led by more than three points, but Kansas held on for a 25-23 set victory and a 3-1 match win. Junior setter Erin McNorton had 49 assists and 11 digs for the Jayhawks against Arizona State, her first career double-double. Senior middle blocker Toley Tolefree also had a double-double for the Jayhawks, recording 10 kills and 10 blocks. Her four solo blocks tied a Horeksi Family Athletics Center record. Jarmoc and sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers also contributed six block assists for the lavhwacks. "I think we had an aggressive mindset that we need to do our job really well tonight," Tolefine said. "Once someone gets on a roll then everybody else wants to get in on it, so I think we helped each other and built off each other." The Jayhawks swept the College of Charleston in their first match of the tournament Friday morning. 25-15, 25-18, 25-15. Jarmoc led the Jayhawks with 11 kills, five blocks and a .381 hitting percentage. Riley had 15 dies for the Jayhawks. "We should never doubt ourselves," Jarmoc said. "This year we are going to be a game-finishing team. Pressure is something that we shouldn't feel because we should always have control on our side." Jarmoc said the seven-match home stand showed the Jayhawks they can be an elite team and have the talent to finish close sets, something they struggled with last year.

By Jonathan Rosa jrosa@kansan.com The Nationals were monitoring Strasburg's inning count and decided to end his season in an effort to protect his arm. Strasburg allowed five runs in just three innings pitched to the Miami Marlins this weekend; the Marlins won the series 2-1. I can understand the decision in the long term, but I don't see how management could shut down a major contributing factor to the ball club leading the National League East. Strasburg made it clear he wanted to finish the season; if it were up to me, I'd let him pitch. Why didn't the Nationals make smarter decisions about Strasburg's starts? They could have had him skip a start occasionally, or they could have moved to a six-man rotation. Either of these options would've allowed the team to have Strasburg's arm in the playoffs. Strasburg finished his season pitching 159 1/3 innings, going 15-6 with a 3.16 ERA. BOUNTY PLAYERS WIN APPEAL Scott Fujita, Jonathan Vilma, Will Smith and Anthony Hargrove will be back in the NFL this season. That is, unless Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL, decides to do anything about it. These Saints were accused of intentionally injuring players, but on Thursday, an appeals panel lifted the suspensions set forth by the commissioner. The Saints will welcome back two important components of the defense in Vilma and Smith. Fujita, a former Saint, will rejoin the Cleveland Browns. Hargrove, a free agent, will be looking for a roster spot on another NFL team. With these four players winning their appeals, look for Saints head coach Sean Payton to follow in their footsteps and have his suspension lifted as well. ANOTHER STRONG OUTING FOR CLEMENS, WHO GETS TO PITCH TO HIS SON The 50-year-old Roger Clemens made his second start for the Sugarland Skeeters, throwing 4 2/3 scoreless innings. Clemens KU has now pitched eight scoreless innings in the combined starts, but this one was more special than the last; Clemens's son Koby was behind the dish catching his father. Regardless of what I think of Clemens' career now, it was pretty special to see father and son playing on the same team. In an interview following the game, Clemens said he hopes he can be in a Houston Astros uniform in February. I don't know what will happen, but based on what I've seen so far from Clemens, I wouldn't rule anything out. — Edited by Nikki Wentling This week in athletics Monday Men's Golf Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational All Day Colorado Springs, Colo.

Then, Kastor's pass across the six-yard box to an open sophomore forward Jaime Fletcher gave the Jayhawks a 7th minute lead. Realizing the speed advantage of Missouri State, the Jayhawks got their second goal five minutes later when Kastor and Fletcher combined again. This time, Fletcher collected the ball around midfield before playing a great through ball to the speedy Kastor. As the Missouri State goleie Chelsea Voet rushed out, Kastor chipped the ball with her right foot and watched it roll into the back of the net to give Kansas the 2-0 lead. "We were having trouble playing the right ball," Kastor said. "We got fortunate with the space in the back, but it felt good to finish a couple." The strong wind helped knock clearances down and kept Missouri State under pressure. Despite the two early goals, Jayhawks coach Mark Francis didn't feel the Jayhawks played to their normal level. "I didn't think we had much rhythm today," Francis said. "It didn't seem like we really moved the ball." Freshman midfielder Hanna Kallmaier got her first start as a Jayhawk and justified her selection by constantly breaking up Missouri State attacks and keeping possession. Fletcher and Kastor continued to provide support for the Jayhawks, combining for 11 of Kansas' 17 shots. Kastor, who was named the Player of the Game, almost scored a second goal just before the half when her shot from distance struck the cross bar. Going into the second half, Kastor scored her second goal of the game in the 48th minute. Senior midfielder and forward Whitney Berry's pass was flicked past the defender by Kastor who ran clear on goal before firing it into the back of the net to give Kansas a 3-0 lead. Missouri State's Michelle Sommer's gave the Bears their first goal when her long shot got past the outstretched arms of Kansas goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau. Kansas finally wrapped up the game when Williams drew a penalty after being brought down in the box. Williams converted the goal into her sixth of the season. Sophomore goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud also made her first appearance of the year as a 54th minute substitute for Liebetrau. "We won the game, glad that we won," Francis said. "They really knocked us off our game today and we got to be better than that."

The Royals plated both their runs with two outs in the 10th off Brett Myers (2-3), the seventh of eight White Sox pitchers in the game. The rally started after Alcides Escobar was thrown out, leaving the bases empty and two outs. Myers walked Billy Butler, who was replaced by pinch runner Jarrod Dyson. Salvador Perez, Moustakas and Jeff Francoeur then hit consecutive singles, the last two driving in runs. Kelvin Herrera (3-2) got the win after preserving a score tie in the ninth by getting Alex Rios to hit into a double play with the bases loaded. Greg Holland walked two and gave up Gordon Beckham's RBI double in the 10th, but escaped with his 13th save by striking out Alejandro De Aza and Ray Olmedo with the tying run on third. One day after the first-place White Sox snapped a six-game losing against Kansas City, the Royals won for the 10th time in 15 games against Chicago this season. Jeremy Guthrie held Chicago to six hits over eight shutout innings, striking out four, but left with a no-decision. He's thrown 23 2-3 innings against the White Sox this season without allowing an earned run. Guthrie was trying to win a fifth straight decision for the first time in his career. The Royals have won the last seven games he's taken the mound, during which he's 4-0 with a 1.70 ERA. Hector Santiago threw four scoreless innings, and four White Sox relievers added five more shutout frames before the Royals broke the deadlock in the 10th. Myers didn't retire any of the four batters he faced. Chicago entered the game with a two-game lead over Detroit in the AL Central, but helped Guthrie's cause by running into three outs on the bases. Franceour threw out pinch-runner Alexei Ramirez at third to the sevent for his big league-leading 18 outfield assist. Guthrie retired 10 straight batters in one stretch. He took a no-hitter into the eighth inning in his last start against the White Sox, a no-decision in the Royals' 5-2 win on Aug. 19. Santiago struck out eight in his second major league start after holding Minnesota to one run over five innings on Sept. 3. His first 36 big league appearances this season came in relief. Johnny Giavotella walked three times and stole two bases for Kansas City. ne gr an to TORONTO Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez, left, tags out Chicago White Sox Alejandro De Aza, right, at home plate after De Aza tagged up at third base on a Dewane Wise pop-up in the first inning in Chicago, Sunday. ASSOCIATED PRESS FOOTBALL 88 6 ASSOCIATED PRESS Atlanta Falcons tight and Tony Gonzalez (88) tries to evade Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson (56) as he runs the ball during Sunday's game. Chiefs come up short in season opener ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tony Gonzalez boarded the first bus to Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, eager to arrive as early as possible to start what's likely his final season in the place where it all began. The Falcons made sure it was a happy return. Matt Ryan threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns, one of them to the longtime Chiefs tight end late in the third quarter, and Atlanta pulled away with a dynamic second-half scoring outburst for a 40-24 season-opening victory over Kansas City. "It's been like a homecoming for me," Gonzalez said. "I just want all the fans to know, I love you very much and thank you for letting this day be special." They didn't have much choice. Ryan also ran for a TD, and Julio Jones caught six passes for 108 yards and two scores, both of them enjoying a Chiefs defense missing four starters due to injuries and suspension. The highlight, though, was Gonzalez, the five-time All-Pro who spent his first 12 seasons in Kansas City. After making his TD grab, the ball squirted loose in the end zone. Ryan tracked it down and pushed it into Gonzalez's hands, and as hed done so many times, the former college hoops player dunked the ball over the goalpost. The Chiefs matched Atlanta most of the first half, trailing 20-17 at the break, but a missed field goal by Ryan Succop early in the third quarter proved to be the turning point. Atlanta scored 20 unanswered points to put the game away. Matt Cassel threw for 258 yards and had touchdowns running and throwing, but he also fumbled deep in Kansas City territory to set up a short TD drive, and his two interceptions created short fields that the Falcons turned into field goals by Matt Bryant. son," Cassel said. "We obviously have to make a lot of corrections and get better as a football team. We've got to play collectively." "It's only one game in a long sea- Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing, and Tony Moeaki had three catches for 37 yards, both providing a bright spot for Kansas City. The pair of them, along with safety Eric Berry, played their first regular-season games since tearing their left ACLs last season. "Tony Gonzalez, without a doubt, is going to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer," Atlanta coach Mike Smith said. "We knew it was going to be an emotional week for him and I'm sure he's glad it's over." GOLF McIlroy plays strong against golfing legends, winning championship ASSOCIATED PRESS CARMEL, Ind. — Rory McIlroy faced the strongest collection of contenders at any golf tournament this year Sunday at the BMW Championship. It was no contest. it was no contest. Even more disconcerting for everyone else, Boy Wonder was expecting to win all along. McIlroy fine-tuned his swing and missed only one fairway at soggy Crooked Stick, powering his way to a 5-under 67 to win his second straight FedEx Cup playoff event. They followed a record win at the PGA Championship, giving him three wins in his last four starts to establish himself as the dominant player in golf. "The more you put yourself in this position, and the more you win and the more you pick up trophies, it becomes normal," Mclroy said after his two-shot win over Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood. "And it feels like this is what you're supposed to do." He became the first player since Tiger Woods in 2009 to win in consecutive weeks on the PGA Tour, and with his sixth career tour, he joined Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win that many at age 23. "I don't think I'm quite there yet," McIlroy said. "But I'm getting to that stage where I'm thinking." This is what I should be doing. I should be lifting a trophy at the end of the week. It's been great. The last four, five weeks have been incredible, some of the best golf that I've ever played. I'm going to try and keep the run going for as long as possible." Never mind that Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh — Hall of Famers with 74 tour wins and seven majors between them — were one shot ahead. Or that Lee Westwood, a former world No. 1, was playing alongside. Or that Woods was right behind. McIlroymade back-to-back birdies around the turn to emerge from a four-way tie, and he turned back one last challenge from Westwood and Mickelson with clutch pars. The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland didn't make a bogey until the 18th hole. "I played with him when he was 13, and you could see it then." Westwood said. "He's just maturing all the time, as he will do. And he's a very, very good player. He is the No. 1 seed going into the FedEx Cup finale in two weeks at East Lake, but any of the top five seeds can win the Tour Championship and capture the FedEx Cup with its $10 million bonus. The other four seeds are Woods, Nick Watney, Mickelson and Brandt Snedeker. "By that time, I had sort of done enough," he said.

GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID The Jayhawks schedule will only get harder from here on out, especially with teams like Iowa State, which came up with a big road victory this weekend. If Kansas fans thought 2-10 was bad last year, the prospects of a 11-11 season could lead to the football team singing the Alma Matter to an empty student section on a regular basis. Once again, Weis tried to start out the game with a deep throw. This time, he set up a pick play out of the Jayhawk formation. The concept is good when executed well, but has yet to lead to points. Why not instead start the game by playing to the offenses strength, which is LOOKING AHEAD running, and allow that to set up the big pass. Kansas will welcome TCU to the Big 12 next weekend. The Horned Frogs are two seasons removed from a Rose Bowl victory and will be the first of many ranked opponents the Jayhawks will face this season. Senior receiver DJ. Beshears fumbled on his lone kickoff return and has disappeared in the passing game this year. The Jayhawks need him to have more of an impact if they want to upset a team in Big 12 play. DELAY OF THE GAME Tony Pierson continues to be the bright spot for the Kansas offense. Despite being more of a speed back, the sophomore managed to break tackles at the line of scrimmage and get into the second level on many of his runs. It looked at times like he just needed to make one more guy miss to find the endzone.

On Saturday, the Kansas football team could've clinched its second win of the season by keeping its drive alive in the last minutes of the game, moving the chains and keeping the clock ticking. Instead, Kansas snatched defeat from the proverbial jaws of victory and lost 25-24 when Rice made a field goal as time expired. "I feel like we really let one slip out of our hands a game that, we had opportunities to finish, multiple opportunities to finish. I won't point fingers at anybody because we can all take blame because we all had opportunities to finish it," said senior linebacker Toben Opurum. Ten yards separated the jayhaws from keeping possession of the ball as they took over on first and 10 with 4:47 left on the clock. Up until the fourth quarter, the running back duo of sophomores Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox But in their final two possessions of the fourth quarter, Kansas put itself in third and long situations and failed to get a first down on either drive. looked unstoppable, with each player averaging more than five yards per carry. "Football's a game of momentum," said senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson. "Once you hit that lull in the game, you've got to find somebody to help you. Somebody on the offense or the defense has to make a big play, and we didn't have that. In the fourth quarter we just didn't have that big play to get everyone going again." "I think that the number one thing we need to is to do a better job of making sure we get it to third and two-to-five because usually you have much better production when you get it to But the Rice defense shifted and broke through the Kansas wall, stopping Cox in the backfield for a loss. On the final drive, it looked like the lajhaways had put themselves into a good position after Cox ran for four yards on first down. On second down, Kansas tried to run the ball again, behind the veteran left side of their offensive line. They even overloaded that side by adding two tight ends to act as extra blockers. With enough time left on the clock for Rice to make a drive, Weis called a play to give the Jayhawks a first down and a chance to potentially seal the game. He put the ball in the hands of his much- hyped captain, senior quarterback Dayne Crist. that point," coach Charlie Weis said. Despite solid protection for Crist giving him ample time to find a receiver, he couldn't make the throw he wanted. Instead, he underthrew junior receiver Chris Omigie, and Rice defender Brvice Calahan was there to pick it off. "You can't be afraid to lose," Crist said. "You've got to go out there and make plays to win. I was confident in the throw, I thought that it gave us a chance to win and extend the game and hopefully run out the clock." Crist's struggles from the season opener carried over against Rice. He completed just three passes in the fourth quarter when the team needed him to step up and make a play to keep the drive alive. —Edited by Joanna Hlavacek "We didn't give ourselves a chance to win on offense," Crist said. "That's all I can speak for and we did not make enough plays." OFFENSE To give one grade out to the offense would be unfair to some, yet too nice to others. While running backs Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox once again carried the Jayhawk offense, the fact is the unit as a whole couldn't get it done with the game on the line. Grade: C- DEFENSE Grade: C The defense came through with many big plays throughout the game, which made up for allowing Rice to easily march down the field at others. At the end of the day, their issues tackling allowed Rice to get second chances on multiple key plays of their final two drives SPECIAL TEAMS Grade: D+ While the special teams were fantastic against South Dakota State, their play this week was not on the same level. Senior receiver D.J. Behess lost a fumble on a kick return early in the game and Daymond Patterson couldn't find any room returning punts. Add in Ron Doherty's two missed field goals and it was a pretty lazy day for the special teams unit. COACHING Grade: C- Defensive coordinator Dave Campo has improved the defense and done a good job masking their weaknesses. They weren't perfect, but it's an improvement over last season. Still, the Jayhawks did not show the decisive tactical advantage Weis talked about when he took over the team last winter. Adjustments need to be made.

Beshears narrowly misses a pass for a touchdown against Rice Saturday afternoon, Sep. 8, at Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks lost to the Owls 24-25. kansan.com Volume 125 Issue 13 Monday, September 10, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAHY KANSAN S sports Jayhawks fall to Rice, play TCU next PAGE 10 COMMENTARY Fourth quarter failure leads to Jayhawk loss Every aspect of a football game matters. The start decides how the teams will do. If a team does well in the first few possessions, odds are that momentum will carry into the second and third quarters. Pat Strathman pstrathman@kansan.com In Kansas' case, the start was decent. Senior quarterback Dayne Crist did throw an interception to start the game, but on a trick play that was blow up. Senior wide receiver DJ. Beshears fumbled the ball on a kickoff return, but the Kansas defense responded with an interception by senior cornerback Greg Brown. On fourth and four, the Owls converted on a huge play to keep their chances alive. Three plays later, a third down with seven yards to go on the Kansas 37 with 40 seconds to play, Kansas allowed a 12-yard scramble to set up the game-winning field goal. Kansas went scoreless in the fourth, and every part of the team struggled. Big plays in the fourth quarter decided a crucial win or an inexcusable loss. The lack of finishing strong handed Kansas a scarring loss under the new Charlie Weis regime. The Kansas offense marched down the field and capitalized with a touchdown. The Kansas defense held the Rice Owls to zero points after the field goal in the first three minutes of the game. The first possession after halftime sets the tone for the second half. When the offense starts with an explosive offensive drive resulting in a touchdown, more momentum is added to achieving a victory. Butthe Kansas defense couldn't stop the Rice offense, keeping the team from advancing to 2-0 under Charlie Weis. On third down, Dayne Crist forced a pass that was intercepted at the Rice 47 with 4:47 left in the game. The second quarter showcased exceptional offense and defense. Though the Owls scored more points than the Jayhawks, Kansas still had the led at the half, 17-13. After the turnovers, things appeared normal. Edited by Laken Rapier But nothing is more important than the fourth quarter in a close game. That was what cost Kansas the victory over Rice. FOOTBALL After a punt by both teams, Rice responded by scoring a touchdown on a seven play. 93-yard drive. That didn't happen. The third quarter couldn't have started any better for the Jayhawks. Kansas capped off a nine-play, 75-yard drive with an eight yard rush by junior running back Taylors Cox. The Kansas defense started to struggle, only allowed a field goal. Kansas led 24-16. That's when the pressure set in for the Kansas offense. All the Kansas offense needed was a first down and the Jayhawks could run out the clock. The Jayhawks offense started the fourth quarter, marching down the field. But, Kansas failed to record any points after a 40-yard field goal miss by junior kicker Ron Dohrerty. Kansas can't contain Rice in fourth quarter, losing in final seconds CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN TOO MUCH STARCH Bradley McDougald, a senior safety from Dublin, Ohio, and Corrigan Powell, a senior cornerback from Garland, Texas, successfully defended what could have been a touchdown for Rice University during Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium. Kansas opened with a strong first quarter, outsourcing Rice 10-3; however, a scoreless fourth quarter for Kansas and Rice's last second field goal led to the 25-24 Rice victory. 86 88 93 Then, the wheels came off bus in the final quarter. It wasn't one wheel; it was all four. FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com Holding on to a narrow two-point lead with 4:47 left to go in point lead with 4.7 feet to the game, senior quarterback Dayne Crist lofted a pass to junior receiver Chris Omigle in attempt to keep Kansas on the field and extend its drive. Instead of completing the pass, Rice's cornerback Bryce Callahan jumped up and intercepted the ball at the 47-yard line to give the Owls new life. Rice then advanced the ball to the 27-yard line and set up junior kicker Chris Boswell for a 45-yard game-winning field goal that he sent through the uprights as time expired, lifting Rice over Kansas, Kansas held a 24-13 lead late in the third quarter before Rice scored 12 unanswered points to comeback and win. 25-24. Crist "My biggest disappointment was that we didn't "finish," coach Charlie Weis said. "The whole motto this week was to finish the game, because I didn't think we finished last week very well either. We didn't finish on offense, we didn't finish on defense and we didn't finish on special teams. When that happens there is a good chance you'll lose" Weis said Kansas struggled in all three phases of the game and pointed out the teams flaws. The jayhawks turned the ball over three times and missed a pair of field goals that could have helped increase their lead. Crist, who was trying to help his team down the stretch to run down the clock, was disappointed with his effort. His goal was to hold possession of the ball, and he needed to complete a pass on third down to do so. Little did he know that the throw would result in Rice's favor. Crist, who hoped to make strides in his second game as a Jayhawk, took a step back against Rice. "I didn't make enough plays, and at the end of the day, that's the most valued trait in a quarterback," Crist said. "It is to make enough plays to win, and we didn't do that today. Naturally, I'm upset." For Rice, quarterback Taylor McHargue caused problems for the jayhawks in the fourth quarter. On a fourth down play late in the game, McHargue escaped the Jayhawks pressure and completed a pass to senior wide receiver Vance McDonald to keep Rice on the field. Three plays later, McHargue pulled through again for Rice on third-and-seven when he scrambled for 12 yards despite being hit by a jayhawk defender behind the hit of scrimmage. That play set up the Owl's game-winning field goal. "Obviously that was a crucial moment in the game where the game is over if we make that play," senior defensive end Toben Opurum said. "He just made a play. I think it is one that we let slip away." Although Kansas blew an 11-point lead and were shut out in the fourth quarter, the team is not ready to throw in the trowel. With conference play coming up against Big 12 newcomer TCU next week, the Jayhawks will work on changing their mindset in practice this week. "I think in years past, we kind of let that hang over us like a dark cloud," junior linebacker Holden Tharp said. "Part of the growing pains with this team is being able to overcome a loss, being able to overcome that adversity and I think this next week is going to be a true test to what kind of team we can be" —Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk SOCCER Jayhawks win physical test TYLER CONOVER TYLER CONOVER tconover@kansan.com With the game tied in the second half, junior forward Caroline Kastor showed off her speed as she scored two goals in less than 90 seconds to give the Jayhawks the lead. This proved to be enough for Kansas to defeat the North Carolina State Wolfpack 3-2 on Sunday. Kastor and the layhawks were able to cool off a North Carolina State team that was riding a five-game winning streak coming into Sunday's contest. Senior midfielder/forward Whitney Berry was credited with assisting Kastor on both goals. The first came off a free kick following a foul by NC State, and the second came from a burst of speed by Kastor that beat the defenders and the goalkeeper. Both were solid shots, but Kastor knows they wouldn't have been possible without direct passing.

The Wolfpack answered back with less than 10 minutes left to Coach Mark Francis was impressed with how well his team played against what he says is a really good team. Francis said he was a little upset with how his team performed defensively on set plays from NC State, but the final score is what matters most. The Jayhawks defense held up for much of the game, but Francis has been concerned with how his team has handled set plays - like free kicks and corner kicks - this season. Those types of plays have been the teams' soft spot, and he knows they need to get it fixed. make the score 3-2, but Kansas was able to hold tight on defense and come away with the win. "I thought we played really well today," Francis said. "I told the girls that is probably our best game this year in terms of how consistently we kept the ball and moved it quickly." Kansas was able to limit NG State to one corner kick in the first half, but the Wolfpack had three in the second half. "We have got to stay focused and disciplined in those situations because on set pieces it's a controlled environment," Francis said. "When they run a play we aren't giving up very much, but on NC State brought a physical game to Lawrence, committing 14 fouls compared to just six by Kansas. However, the biggest factor in the game was the speed of the Jayhawks; Kansas was able to use that speed to stay active. The Jayhawks out shot the Wolfpack 17 to 13. Kansas also had 10 shots on goal, while NC State had three. Even though the Jayhawks gave up two goals, they played well on defense. From the onset, Kansas was attacking. Francis said that intensity was a criterial factor in the outcome of the game. "I thought we did a really good job of not allowing them to get in to too much of a rhythm today by just putting them under pressure." Francis said. "I think that was a big key." set pieces a lack of focus is allowing other teams to score." 41 — Edited by Nikki Wentling Kansas will return to the soccer field on Friday when it takes on the University of Denver at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

"Notes from No Man's Land: American Essays" by Eula Biss merges the themes of culture and identity while exploring race in America. The KU Common Book, part of KU's strategic plan Bold Aspirations, was chosen from a selection of 125 books. The KU Common Book steering committee wanted a book that was multidisciplinary and connected with the strengths of the University. "The goal was really what are the ways we can enhance student learning as a student enters the university so that they feel engaged and a sense of belonging," said Sarah Crawford-Parker, assistant vice provost and director of the Office of First-Year Experience. Crawford-Parker said the KU Common Book steering committee felt a common reading experience was one of the best ways to get students to think about critical reading, critical thinking and respecting differing opinions. Students were encouraged to read the book over the summer and attend discussion sessions during Hawk Week. Some students read the book and participated in discussions. "I didn't like it. It was well written and had valid points but I feel like she focused on the negatives instead of the positives and it was a downer to read, especially during the summer," said Megan McCarthy, freshman from Omaha, Neb. "It it just didn't interest me, and I have several other things to study for other than the common book," said Samantha Kolkhorst, freshman from Overland Park. Other students chose not to read the common book. The KU Common Book steering committee coordinated with other departments on campus including the Spencer Museum of Art, which chose a common piece of artwork to discuss with students. Faculty are incorporating the book into their curriculum in classes such as cultural anthropology and Greek and Roman mythology.

Mendoza is a music composition major with an emphasis in voice, but also completing the pre-med curriculum. TARA BRYANT/KANSAN CIVILIZATION FALLS Western Civilization classes no longer a general education requirement MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com Starting next fall, incoming students will have six fewer credit hours to worry about. Students still have to complete general education requirements for their degree as part of the University curriculum rework, but Western Civilization will no longer be mandatory University-wide, said Chris Haufler, special adviser to the provost. "What any undergraduate experience should be is an opportunity for students to gain skills, knowledge, basic values, and an opportunity to dive into a discipline that will serve them as a career," Haufler said. Under the new curriculum, titled KU Core, every student will fulfill six decided education outcomes through their coursework, regardless of his or her major. Hauffler said KU Core's goal is to increase students' knowledge across many disciplines, while having minimal impact on degree specific requirements. Most programs will see minor adjustments, with the exception of the School of Music. Which will experience the greatest shift in class diversity, Haulier said. Josh Mendoza, a sophomore music composition major from Hutchinson, sees the value of classmates receiving a multidisciplinary education. In addition to his music composition requirements, Mendoza is also taking pre-med classes and plans to attend medical school after graduating. "You can get a broader sense of an education instead of focusing strictly on music." Mendoza said. "If I'm just focused on one thing and one thing only, it's just not as eniable." Mendoza said the average School of Music student was less interested in classes outside the major and preferred to focus on music. Although Mendoza will take five years to graduate, he finds the variety of classes refreshing. "When I get frustrated with music classes, I have science classes that offer relief and vice versa," Mendoza said. Freshman Erin Riffell from Hope, is currently enrolled in general education courses and recognizes the benefits of a well-rounded education. "When you choose a career, you need to know a little bit of everything." Riffell said. General education classes can pique interest in fields students would otherwise be unaware of, said Riffell, who is studying photo media. Not all students are as enthusiastic about KU Core's multidisciplinary education goal. Corbin Reagan, a biomedical engineering graduate student from Lee's Summit, Mo., doesn't see the value in taking entry level classes for other majors. "If I take one introductory class, it won't educate me much, unless I take further classes in the field," Reagan said. As for learning the educational outcomes, Reagan thought he would best develop such skills through presenting research projects, working as a teaching assistant and getting involved in student organizations. "I think these are skills that would be more useful, if they were directly integrated into existing coursework already in your field of study," Reagan said. Reagan enjoyed his undergraduate ethics class, a course not specific to his major, but prefers taking classes that directly apply to his degree. "I respect students wanting to get a multidisciplinary education through taking classes that are not related to their major," Reagan said, "but I still want the flexibility to take classes that do." STATE POLITICS - Edited by Laken Rapier Brownback speaks on jobs, tax breaks to promote state growth KU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS The University of KU Kansas governor Sam Brownback presents his speech "Economic Growth & Kansas Tax Policy" to an almost full house at the Lied Center last night. Brownback was invited to speak as part of the Anderson Chandler Lecture Series presented by the School of Business. TARA BRYANT/KANSAN NIKKI WENTLING nwentling@kansan.com But, in May, Gov. Sam Brownback signed a measure that cuts income taxes, which he thinks will reverse these trends. If you're searching for a job, Kansas might not be the place to find one, at least for now. The state is behind in employment growth in the private sector, and the population is also declining. Brownback spoke last night at the Lied Center about the House Bill aimed at helping small businesses and improving employment opportunities in the state. The bill is designed to decrease income taxes for individuals and small businesses. The senate substitute for House Bill 2117 takes effect in 2013. It is designed to decrease the top individual state income tax rate from 6.45 percent to 4.9 percent and will impose a 0 percent tax rate for some small businesses. Brownback said this would attract business owners to the state and ultimately increase Index CLASSIFIEDS 7 CRYPTOQUIPS 4 SPORTS 8 CROSSWORD 4 OPINION 5 SUDDKU 4 According to the Kansas Policy institute, employment in the private sector in Kansas grew 0.4 percent from 1998 to 2011, while employment in adjacent states averaged a 3.1 percent increase. "If we stay on the same track for population growth in Kansas, which is slower than our region and slower than the nation, we will, in 2020, be the 35th most populous state," Brownback said. "I do not accept that. One of the key things we can do to change that is creating a better job environment in the private sector." A May 2012 article in Forbes magazine titled "The Happiest Cities for Job-Seeking College Grads," cities in surrounding states were more appealing to students. St. Louis and Oklahoma City were listed at one and nine, respectively. This list was compiled based on relationships with bosses and co-workers, work environment, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation and daily tasks. population. Besides speaking about tax breaks for small businesses, the governor also spoke about the state's economic growth rate. Brownback told attendees that increasing government spending and investing more money into K-12 education has not reversed Kansas' slow economic growth. "People need jobs and will go where they are available. Kansas is not one of those places right now," Brownback said. "The private sector can create jobs with this money better than the government can," he said. Don't forget Wi contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2012 The University Daily Kansan Tess Banion, a Lawrence resident, disagrees. Banion, along with about 20 other protestors, lined up near the entrance of the Lied Center before the lecture began. They held up neon green posters splashed with phrases like, "I'd like a Koch to buy the world," and "What would Jesus do?" as attendees passed by them. Banion said the protesters were against the actions of the Koch brothers, as well as the recently signed legislation. Although protestors gathered outside, Brownback was welcomed on stage with standing applause. He was applauded again as he ended his speech by explaining the long-term benefits of Kansas' new tax policy. hundreds of thousands of jobs from tax cuts, but we know there's going to be a huge gap and we know he's going to cut schools more." Banton said. "Big tax cuts are going to hurt most Kansans; now we have a budget that puts the burden on middle- and lower-income people. What would Jesus do? Jesus would not tax poor people." "We have to invest now to grow, so we can ensure that we have more resources for a place like the University of Kansas, and more resources for students" Brownback said. "This one can and will work for us." "He says he's going to make To remember the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.

President Barack Obama, who leads Republican Mitt Romney in polling on national security issues, may try to change that fall as he seeks to sway undecided voters and traditional GOP constituencies in a tight race. "In a world of new threats and new challenges, you can choose leadership that has been tested and proven," the president said last week while accepting the Democratic Party's nomination, attempting to draw a contrast with a GOP presidential ticket that has little foreign policy experience. "I promised to refocus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11. And we have," Obama added. "A new tower rises above the New York skyline; al-Qaida is on the path to defeat; and Osama bin Laden is dead." Tuesday marks the 11th anniversary of the attacks that left nearly 3,000 people dead and led to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both campaigns will pull their largely negative television advertisements off the air for the day out of respect for 9/11 victims and their families. Obama will hold a moment of silence at the White House and attend a Pentagon memorial service; Romney will address the National Guard's annual conference, and Vice President Joe Biden will attend a memorial service at Shanksville, Pa., where one of the four hijacked flights crashed. It will be a rare day on the campaign when terrorism, or national security for that matter, will be a center of attention. Unlike the other presidential elections following the attacks, polls show those issues are a low priority for voters. A CBS News/New York Times survey this summer found 37 percent of voters called terrorism and security extremely important to their vote while 54 percent said the economy and jobs were that important. It was much different eight years ago during the first presidential election after the attacks. Back then, about two-thirds of voters said protecting the country was more important than creating jobs when deciding their vote for president, according to an AP-Ipsos poll shortly before the 2004 election. President George W. Bush defeated Democratic challenger John Kerry in large part by convincing voters he was the best candidate to keep the country safe. The 2008 election also focused on national security until the economy staggered during the campaign's final stretch. Obama's early opposition to the Iraq war won him wide support from a combat-weary public. Republican Sen. John McCain ran on his military credentials while arguing that his Democratic opponent was naive and would be dangerous for the country. Despite the strong economic focus, Obama's campaign says it still sees an opportunity to zero in on national security and terrorism in the final weeks of the campaign. And it's clear why it would want to: Polls show Obama leading Romney on national security and terrorism, issues where Republicans typically have an advantage. Officials say national security issues resonate particularly well in battleground states with large military and veterans populations, including Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. The Obama campaign has been running television advertisements in those states focused on the president's policies for veterans, and Obama surrogates have held national security-focused events there, too.

C BASKETBALL NEWS OF THE WORLD ASIA Associated Press PARTS MULI ASSOCIATED PRESS Security guard Amarjeet Singh helps a patient on a stretcher at the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital in New Delhi, India. Singh and 20 other bouncers have been hired to protect doctors as well as keep the emergency and labor rooms from filling up with patients' often agitated relatives and friends. Indian hospitals hire bouncers NEW DELHI — Pradeep Kumar, a muscular man in shades and tattoos, pulls up on a motorcycle, ready for his job as a bouncer. Not at a nightclub, but at another workplace where violence is common in India: a hospital. He and his burly colleagues keep the emergency and labor rooms from filling up with patients' often agitated relatives and friends. The bouncers are polite, yet so tough-looking that people think twice about ignoring their orders. "These guys look like they walked right out of an action movie," said Pawan Desai, who brought his 4-year-old daughter to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for treatment for a cut on her hand. Working in an Indian hospital can be dangerous. In April, a week before DDU hired the bouncers, friends of an emergency-room patient punched a doctor in the face and broke his nose before going on a rampage with hockey sticks, swinging at windows, lights, furniture and medical staff. The medical staff at DDU, a government hospital, had faced nearly one attack a month and had gone on strike 20 times over six years demanding better security. Since the hospital replaced its middle-aged, pot-bellied guards with bar bouncers, bodyguards, and wrestlers sporting muscles and tattoos, "there hasn't been a single incident," said Dr. Nitin Seth, the doctor who was injured in April. "These guys do a good job controlling the crowds," he said. Indian hospitals every year, said Dr. Narendra Saini, spokesman for the Indian Medical Association. Thousands of attacks occur in In January, a man in the southern city of Chennai was charged with using a sword to hack to death a surgeon he held responsible for his pregnant wife's death during surgery. Three months later, a mob at a Delhi hospital beat up six doctors in retaliation for supposed sexual misconduct after the medical staff unsuccessfully tried to resuscitate a female patient using CPR. When someone dies in the hospital, relatives often start blaming — even attacking — doctors. At expensive private hospitals, families feel especially cheated, Saini said. "They expect their patient to live because that's what they paid for." The DDU Hospital guards, a team of 21 split across three shifts, cover the busiest areas of the campus, especially the emergency and labor rooms. People who come in with pregnant or trauma patients "are most likely to lose their cool," Kumar said. "That's why we try not to let in more than one per patient." The only way to prevent a bad situation from getting worse is to keep people moving and not let crowds collect at all, said Dr. Promila Gupta, the hospital's medical superintendent. "I think what works for our new guards is that the (patients)' relatives are afraid of them because of their good physique," she said. EUROPE Pro-Pussy Riot festival continues despite criticism ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — A music festival to support jailed members of the Russian band Pussy Riot went forward despite official pressure to cancel it, organizers said Monday. Olga Kurnosova said city officials had tried to force her to stop Sunday's show in St. Petersburg — President Vladimir Putin's home-town — and firefighters had threatened to close down the Glavklub hall, claiming safety violations ahead of the concert. About 1,000 people attended the "Free Pussy Riot Fest" headlined by the Russian rock protest bands DDT and Televizor, whose songs have long riled Soviet authorities and Putin's Kremlin. Last month three members of Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in jail for a "punk prayer" against Putin in Russia's largest cathedral in a trial that provoked an international outcry. On Sunday, DDT frontman Yuri Shevchuk compared the spiraling Kremlin crackdown on political protests to Soviet-era repression of dissidents. "In 1992, we participated in a festival against political repression," he told the audience. "Twenty years have passed, but it seems almost nothing has changed." A masked spectator reacts during the concert organized to support jailed Pussy Riot musicians in St. Petersburg, Russia. A Moscow judge has sentenced each of three members of the provocative punk band Pussy Riot to two years in prison on hooliganism charges following trial. ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH AMERICA No signs of killings in Amazon village PAPUA NEW GUINEA ASSOCIATED PRESS Yanomami Indians dance in their village called Irotatheri in Venezuela's Amazon region. IROTATHERI, Venezuela — Venezuelan officials and journalists are investigating reports of a possible massacre in a remote indigenous village in the Amazon have found people peacefully cooking plantains over a communal fire, and no sign of any killings. Yanomami Indians in the village of Irotatheri spoke with journalists through a guide, who translated their accounts that there had been no violence. The government flew in journalists by helicopter Friday after a report of killings in the community by an indigenous group. The villagers stood and watched in apparent amazement as the helicopter passed over their huts and landed nearby in a clearing. Women in the village carried their babies in slings, and people of all ages had their lips bulging with tobacco leaves that they stuff into their mouths and keep there without chewing throughout the day. Leaders of the Horonomi Yanomami Organization released a statement late last month saying that people from a nearby village had visited Irotathera and reported a mass killing of unknown proportions in early July. About 40 people live in Irotatheri, a collection of huts that officials say is 19 kilometers (12 miles) from the border with Brazil. The villagers still keep to their traditional ways, wearing face paint and loincloths. But government officials who reached the village ahead of the journalists brought the people T-shirts to cover themselves, and also brought hammocks and cooking pots, which the Yanomami quickly accepted. Officials gave them pasta and dried manioc that they could cook in their new pots, and also handed them their first spoons. A doctor traveled with the group and was providing check-ups. Many people in the village were treated for skin ailments and conjunctivitis. The villagers performed a dance for the visitors, holding bows and arrows. The Yanomami are one of the largest isolated indigenous groups in the Amazon, with a population estimated at roughly 30,000 on both sides of the Venezuela-Brazil border.

Associated Press ALBUM REVIEW Dave Matthews Band goes deeper DUNCAN MCHENRY dmcheny@kansan.com But die-hard fans will be glad to discover that the weirdness is only skin deep. Working with long-time producer Steve Lillywhite for the first time since 1998's "Before These Crowded Streets," the band sticks to their signature, fiddle-infused rock on "Away From the World." The eight studio album from Dave Matthews Band has a reclusive title and strange cover art that looks like a Picasso rendition of the Brady Bunch. The album isn't totally devoid of risks, as Dave pulls out his ukelele for the first time ever in a recording studio on the moving ballad "Sweet," but the instrumentation is mostly true to the DMB formula As usual, the snappy precision of Carter Beauford on the drums is a critical sonic backbone. Beauford's role is especially prominent on "Gaucho," as he taps out a rapid-fire shuffle beat behind limber guitar lines. Dave also goes beyond his typical songwriting themes of love, life, loss and more love on "Gaucho," pondering the current state of humanity: "We crossed the oceans wide/Built cities to the sky/Looked up and we were flying/But will we not survive ourselves." The lowpoint of "Away From the World" is the song "If Only", which drones on like elevator music with too much ambition. It's the only lull in an otherwise excellent, if never quite spectacular, Dave Matthews Band record. The last track, "Drunken Soldier," is the closest the album gets to producing a classic hit. The song could almost pass for a musical suite at 9:45 in length, with the mellow violin of Boyd Tinsley guiding the listener through polyrhythms and twangy guitar. Though it doesn't include any tracks on the level with classics like "Satellite" or "Crash Into Me", "Away From The World" is a solid addition to the DMB discography. ★★★☆ Edited by Luke Ranker KU BOOKSTORE KUBOOKSTORE.COM TODAY'S DISCOUNT TOUCHDOWN TUESDAY AT 25% OFF * Discount is available in-store or online at kubookstore.com.

Consider political budget position when voting How do you want your state legislature to spend Kansas tax revenue over the next five years? This question should shape how voters cast their ballots this November. The legislators elected will determine how the state allocates its resources, at a time when Kansas faces a critical juncture in fiscal policy. Regardless of your political affiliation, hometown or interest in politics, the $13 billion Kansas state budget enormously impacts your daily life. The money funds primary and secondary education, maintains roads and highways and supports the state correctional facilities and highway troopers. It assists low and middle-income families and provides social services. $4 billion goes directly to local governments. If those figures seem inaccessible, consider the $133 million allocated from state general funds to the University of Kansas in 2012—approximately a quarter of the school's yearly budget. After following discussions of ballooning national debt, smaller-scalelocalbudgetingmightseeminconsequential. However,49states—Kansas included—includebalanced budget requirements in their state constitutions. Althoughsome loopholes exist,this ruleseverely limits the state's abilitytodeficit spend.The theoretically,this makes the task of governing relatively simple, states can findabalance between taxing andproviding public services,and thenmaintain that equilibrium fromyear to year. By Amanda Gress agress@kansan.com Recently, Kansas upset that model. As reported by The Kansas City Star, negotiations this spring culminated in a series of tax cuts that will reduce the amount of money the state receives by $3.7 billion over five years. Initially, Governor Brownback proposed a series of offsets to make tax cuts revenue-neutral, like eliminating deductions for donating to private charities. These other tax increases were removed from the compromise that eventually became law. As a result, the Legislative Research Department, an agency that advises the state government, forecasts that state spending will exceed revenues by $2.5 billion dollars by 2015. Simply put, the state will be receiving less money from taxes, and will have to cut spending elsewhere to maintain a balanced budget. In the current political climate, Kansans should remain attentive to developments in their state legislature. In the August primaries, a number of conservative Republicans defeated more moderate members of the State House of Representatives and Senate. Should conservatives win their general elections in November, the legislature and Governor Brownback are likely to pursue an agenda that cuts taxes and further However, before casting a vote that could really change the wellbeing of their communities, voters should reflect on the consequences of supporting reductions in state revenue. You can find your hometown or county budget and see where the revenue goes. reduces the size of state government. You may not support foreign assistance or federal energy subsidies, but do those same principles apply to your local elementary school? Do you enjoy living in an area with police and fire departments? Should local roads and bridges be maintained? And are the 253,600 government jobs in the state of Kansas -17 percent of the state's workforce—worth preserving? These are the issues that the next legislature will face as they draft a budget, and these are the questions that Kansans must be prepared to ask their legislators throughout the process. When spending shrinks, which programs will be eliminated? Conservative Republicans insist that cutting taxes for small businesses can power growth throughout the state. Democrats disagree. The Wichita Eagle cites Rep. Paul Davis of Lawrence, Rep. Jim Ward of Wichita, and Sen. Anthony Hensley of Topeka, who argue that the future budget will force major cuts to education and social programs without some other increase in revenue. One possible outcome is that local governments will raise property taxes to fund schools. The Eagle also reports a recent request from Governor Brownback's office asking state agencies to propose a 10 percent cut in their budgets, suggesting that across-the-board reductions may be on the table. A stable budget tangibly affects the life of every Kansas citizen. Quite a few voters support the principles of limited government spending and services, and those principles do have valid defenses.

By Angela Hawkins ahawkins@kansan.com Illustration by Maddie Lytle W who are you? The question is simple enough, however the answer can be more complicated than it seems. You could answer with the generic name, age, hometown, and major. That answers the question, but the answers don't define you. There is more to who you are than your surface level biography would uncover. Other things like your hobbies, beliefs, talents, likes and dislikes help shape you. For many people, these qualities change pretty often. During high school these things may have revolved more around the school you went to or your friends from junior high. While students live in such close proximity on campus it can be hard to keep your convictions or even figure out what your convictions are; however, figuring them out is important. A "liberal education," as many of my professors have stated, asks students to question everything in the name of thinking critically. When you don't know what you believe or where you stand on topics, the questions could make everything even more confusing. Now is the best time to develop up yourself. Figure out who exactly you are. Explore you. That's a tough task. Questioning who you are out- side of the life you held in your hometown doesn't reveal easy answers. I've been there. I discovered that although I danced for 15 years and still love tap dancing in my free time, I'm not a dancer. Although figuring that piece opened hours of time to fill with studying, it left a void. It left a question of, "what do I do now?" What fills that void? At first I felt like I'd given up a piece of myself, but as I looked around me, I realized that I had so many more interests that turned out to be stronger than the urge to dance. The dedication I had to dance transferred to a new commitment to having a positive attitude and helping others through somewhat random acts of kindness. I believe. During those situations where I could have easily been overrun by questions from myself or others, I'm able to reason through things and stay true to myself much better. Knowing who I am played a huge role in that. By developing that part of who I am, I grew as a human being. Just developing my convictions has helped me realize the importance of knowing what I know it's hard, but I encourage you to look within yourself and use the resources you have available to you here in order to find your passions and own who you are. Take it from me. I'm a journalist who wants to be a philanthropist and a believer in the power of loving your neighbor. That's who I am. But who are you?

ROMANCE Shaky relations lead to self doubt By Rachel Keith rkeith@kansan.com In the movies there's hardly anything hotter than a love-hate relationship. There's always a certain passion to them that's dramatic yet wonderful and leaves us hungry for more. The swings from anger to sex pique interest because they're so primal and offer a break from our otherwise mundane personal lives. But when that kind of movie does become your life and the plot is totally jagged with so much rising and falling action, it can leave you desperate for a final resolution. I was 19 years old and had already been through two loves. I knew it was irrational, but my latest breakup sent a panic running through me that I'd end up alone for good. I moved on immediately and quickly became cozy with someone I hardly knew. It took us a few months to commit, but it happened. Drew (name has been changed) was living in Chicago for most of our relationship, but he was a Kansas City native and eventually moved back. While I waited for him the relationship was mostly good. There were some minor hiccups, but it all seemed worth it. Then the night we saw each other again after he came back we were kissing in the drizzle on a rooftop. It was cold, but wearing his coat and feeling his embrace made it perfect. It would be the only moment of genuine romance in our entire relationship that I could recall. Only weeks after that night our relationship crumbled when he said he wasn't ready to be in one. Those weeks had been terrible anyway, but I still cried in front of him when he dumped me. But two weeks later we reuilted and eventually started talking about becoming recommitted. We never actually did it but still acted like a couple. The rest of our time together was certainly a roller coaster of passion and hate, but when I finally got to the exit, I didn't find it very thrilling. Though they may look exciting on the surface, love-hate relationships are always better on the other side. They wreak havoc on us emotionally. But they are also, according to a Yale University study, a strong indicator of low self-esteem because the people in the relationship tend to cling to anything and everything that their significant others do and say. When people do that, they usually get burned in the end and eventually run the risk of getting caught in such a cycle because when their relationship is over, they tend to move on quickly to fill the void. Therefore if it isn't addressed, being in that kind of relationship can become a lifestyle. And when the people in question already are in a vulnerable position like I was when I was 19, the cycle can go unnoticed and be extremely difficult to break. But for the sake of our well-being, we need to cut the cord and stop being so afraid of being single because a real life love-hate relationship will likely make us wish we were. In retrospect sometimes my relationship with Drew was sexy, but mostly it was just exhausting. By the end of it I stopped believing in him as a boyfriend and started automatically disregarding any promises he made. Then finally it all ended one night when we mutually decided the whole relationship wasn't worth it. We broke up after a party, but Drew came over after and stayed the night anyway. It definitely went without saying that we wouldn't see each other again for awhile. When he left the next morning I shut my front door behind him, and I felt nothing. It was clear to me that even though the relationship was shaky at best, I at least got what I wanted. My numbness told me I no longer clung to his every word and that the single life was not something to be feared. It took a little nudge from a subpar boyfriend, but I was a woman free of the unhealthy back-and-forth of my relationship. That day I told myself I wouldn't settle on a love-hate relationship ever again. And by the way, it was the best promise I'd ever kept. Keith is a graduate student in education from Wichita.

PAGE 6 FOOTBALL TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com Q 1. Oklahoma (1 last week) 2-0 Oklahoma's high-powered offense has kept them on top of the Big 12 so far. Coach Bob Stoops is excited to see his team rebound after a slow start in Week 1. More answers will be revealed about the Sooners when they face Kansas State. WV 2. WVU (2 last week) 1-0 Coming off a bye week, West Virginia had plenty of time to build off the one game where they produced. A 69-34 win over Marshall is pleasing for the offense. Coach Dana Holgorsen spent time this weekend working on the team's defense to make sure they can construct a more commanding win for their second match of the season. C 3. KSU (7 last week) 2-0 Kansas State won their first two games by a combined score of 103-22. Coach Bill Snyder is feeling good about the offensive production from his ground game. With senior quarterback Collin Klein leading the Wildcats, they can only continue to climb and perhaps surprise some people down the road in conference play. TCU HORNED FROGS 4. TCU (4 last week) 1-0 A 56-0 shutout win over Grambling State is exactly the type of win TCU fans wanted to see. The conference newcomers made a big impression in their first game of the season. Now they will kick-off Big 12 play at Kansas for their first road game of the season. 5. Texas (5 last week) 2-0 Sophomore quarterback David Ash made strides from Week 1 to Week 2. Ash produced more and helped the Longhorns offense to advance the ball and score more than they did in the season opener. The defense also stepped up as they pitched a shutout to give Texas fans a nice win to celebrate. OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY 6. OSU (3 last week) 1-1 No one could have predicted that Oklahoma State would lose to Arizona after amassing 84 points against Savannah State. But the Cowboys had no answer for the Wildcats and found themselves in a pickle, eventually leading to a surprising 21-point loss. BAYLOR BEARS Senior quarterback Nick Florence filled in well as the new starter under center. His goal is to continue to use the next two games as stepping stones and get a better grasp of the game as a starter before Baylor begins conference play. 7. Baylor (6 last week) 1-0 STATE Iowa State's offense has the most room to grow out of all the Big 12 teams. The Cyclones survived and beat Iowa, their in-state rivals, 9-6. Paul Rhodes knows that his team has a lot of holes that need to be filled in. Otherwise, their first two wins could be two of very few this season. 8. Iowa State (8 last week) 2-0 T 9. Texas Tech (9 last week) 2-0 Texas Tech dominated their first two opponents this season with over 100 total points and only 16 given up. Both sides of the ball have played with aggression, but no one has bought into it. If the Red Raiders can win against a challenging conference opponent, then they will jump up in the rankings. KU 10. Kansas (10 last week) 1-1 Coach Charlie Weis was not content that his team slipped and gave away an 11-point lead to Rice. Senior quarterback Dayne Crist has been tested in his first two games as a jayhawk and must recharge and come out more prepared against TCU on Saturday. VOLLEYBALL JARMOC RII FY Juniors Caroline Jarmcoe and Brianne Riley both earned Big 12 offensive and defensive players of the week honors making it the first time kansas volleyball players accomplished this feet in Big 12 history. Jarmoc earned her second straight Tournament MVP. In the three games this weekend in the Jayhawk invitational, Jarmoc managed 38 kills and a .541 hitting percentage. Her match was against Arizona State on Friday when she had 14 kills and a .824 attack percentage. She also had six blocks. Jarmoc's offensive player of the week award was the first this season and first for the team since the 2008 season. She now has three weekly honors in her career. Her teammate Riley racked up two 20-dig performances to help Kansas beat Arizona State and Wyoming en route to the tournament title. The tournament-high for Riley was against Wyoming with 21 digs. Winning the defensive player of the week award was the first of her career. "Honors like these are a direct reflection of your team's performance," head coach Ray Bechard said in a release. "I think if you look at the history of how these awards are doled out, they signify good individual performances of which these two are very deserving. More importantly, I think they also signify a team that's playing very well. I'm very excited that the Jayhawk volleyball program is being recognized."

Bitterbender M.D. 930 IOWA // 785.842.7001 Ladies Men Face Chests Underarms Back Bikini Neck Legs Big 12 teams rack up stats in second week ASSOCIATED PRESS Big 12 teams are piling up crazy stats again, just like they do every September. The difference this year? The numbers are not all through the air. Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma all rank in the top 10 nationally in rushing yards, led by the Wildcats with 612. Through the first two weeks of the season, all but one of the Big 12's 10 teams are averaging more than five yards a run. "When you look at who is winning national championships, it's been teams that can run the ball and be balanced, but also play great defense against the run," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "I do think that people are trying to run the ball more." It is only mid-September and Big 12 teams so far have been playing weaker competition, so balanced offenses are more noticeable in a league known the past several years for prolific passing. Still, coaches know what's at stake. The Big 12 had just four teams (and current member TCU) that averaged at least five yards per carry in 2011 — and Missouri and Texas A&M aren't even in the league anymore. The face of Kansas State's running game has been brusher senior quarterback Collin Klein, who has 125 yards rushing and three touchdowns in two games. But junior running back John Hubert has been superb so far with 258 yards — one shy of Oklahoma newcomer Damien Williams for the league lead. "Williams is a big, strong fast guy that's really performing well and has had some big plays for us. But he's been doing the little things too," he said. "Taking care of the football, and not a little thing but a big thing; pass protection. Stepping up and picking up blitzes. He's been very good." Hubert has cracked the 100-yard The Jayhawks have a pair of tailbacks, Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox, who have combined to rush for 444 yards and four touchdowns. New quarterback Dayne Crist is off to a slow start with three interceptions and a 51.6 completion percentage, and the Jayhawks suffered a disheartening setback on Saturday when they lost to Rice 25-24 on a 45-yard field goal at the final whistle. The Sooners finished in the middle of the pack, 50th overall, in rushing offense in 2011, one spot ahead of rival Oklahoma State. But Williams has quickly earned the trust of coach Bob Stoops and appears set to be a major factor for the Sooners in 2012. Kansas State Coach Bill Snyder said the goal is simply to take what defenses give them. So far, Kansas State has run the ball 50 times a game while throwing just 20 passes Kansas looks like it can run the ball better than it has in recent history. But the Jayhawks are going to need more than a resurgent ground game after years of losing. — and the Wildcats are 2-0 after blasting Miami 52-13. "The one thing that we're going to have to do a better job of, and it really starts with coaching, is when a team is used to losing. I think we have to help guide them through that." Weis said. "You have to help teach them how to finish games." "Even though we're a spread, no huddle team and we move really fast and we throw a lot of passes, you have to be able to run the football, in our opinion, to have success against good defensive football teams," Gundy said. "It opens up the throwing game for a young quarterback. To sit in the pocket and just throw the ball consistently without any run game would be difficult in our eyes." barrier two weeks in a row for the Wildcats, who won 10 games last season despite ranking 108th in the nation in passing offense. But the Cowboys haven't had any trouble running the ball. They ran for 200 yards against the Wildcats, with star Joseph Randle gainning 123 yards and Jeremy Smith adding 77 Williams, a junior college transfer from Arizona Western, rushed for 156 yards and four touchdowns on just 10 carries as Oklahoma shook off a shaky debut and routed Florida A&M 69-13 to move to 2-0. "The bottom line is simply that you want to avoid creating tendencies that give a defensive football team an advantage," Snyder said. Oklahoma State has some issues on defense and with penalties after giving up a staggering 59 points in a three-touchdown loss at Arizona. Kansas has gotten into the act under new coach Charlie Weis, averaging a healthy 5.5 yards per carry that ties Texas for fourth among Big 12 teams that have played twice. Coach Mike Gundy is hopeful that a healthy rushing attack will help make life easier for freshman quarterback Wes Lunt. on just eight carries.

Cavern 愈 --- usaccer.com THE MORNING BREW More than meets the eye behind soccer in the states It's time for soccer to make its place in the United States. Soccer is by far the most popular sport in the world. Whether it's international interest in teams at an elite level, or small children kicking the ball in the streets, soccer finds itself at the peak of world sport intrigue. Ironically, America has yet to make a true push to increase the quality of soccer from within its borders. By Jackson Long jlong@kansan.com Many argue soccer is the opposite of the American lifestyle. It's fair to say, in general, that Americans live life at a fast pace. We love scoring. Nothing gets us more fired up than a towering home run or a touchdown worthy of a Top Ten Play on ESPN. Americans look at soccer, see the lack of scoring and immediately diminish the quality of entertainment it can provide. Here are my reasons, that America needs to step up its soccer game around the world. First, to truly connect with the world in a sporting scene at the international level, soccer must be placed as a priority and we must be able to be competitive. Second, this is America dammit; our mentality is to be the best at everything. There is, however, an interesting twist to this American soccer sob story. The United States Women's soccer team is the best in the world. How does a country produce an elite team of one sex and a lackluster one of the other? The answer is in the money. Baseball, football and basketball athletes are far and away the highest paid athletes in America. The best athletes choose these sports because of the fame and money. Outside of basketball, there is not a prominent professional league for women in this country and even the WNBA pays astronomically less than the NBA. Women play for the passion of the sport and the best women are not drawn away from soccer because there is money and fame elsewhere. There is no argument that the United States house some of the best male athletes in the world. If elite athletes like Derek Rose or Mike Trout had grown up with a soccer passion, America would likely field a team that could compete with those around the world. World-class soccer is created by great attention, effort and interest in promoting the growth of the game. Clearly, the United States lacks that aspect. Across the world, especially in Europe and Latin America, this has been figured out. A high priority goes to soccer and these countries clearly reap the rewards. The talent is here in America. Our love for sports and passion we have for athletic achievement is conducive to providing an atmosphere for success in soccer. Unfortunately, the popularity and money is not. If Americans can find a way to see the beauty of the game and the benefits of taking it to the next level, soccer could explode in America. Right now, though, it KU takes a backseat to the other sports giants The solution to America's soccer problem will have to be a generational fix. Keeping the best athletes in soccer is a struggle, but it is the key to finding lasting success. Over time, we could raise the quality of soccer in this county. The question: do Americans even want elite soccer?

DENVER — The days of lugging around 500-page playbooks and stacks of DVDs are over for half of the players in the NFL. Their teams have gone digital, replacing the old-fashioned thick paper playbooks with iPads that put everything from X's and O's to notifications, scouting reports and "Technology is taking over the world and we're just trying to keep up with it," Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Graham Harrell said. The number of teams using iPads for playbooks and game film has increased this season from two to 14. In the NFC, the Bears, Cardinals, Cowboys, Lions, Packers, Panthers, Redskins and Seahawks are using the tablets as are the Bengals, Broncos, Chargers, Colts, Dolphins and Ravens in the AFC. Other teams, such as the Chiefs, Titans and Saints, are using iPads for some things but haven't completely abandoned three-ring binders, and the Bills are considering switching over next year, when the NFL makes game film available in high definition, coach Chan Gailey said. The Ravens and Buccaneers were the first teams to go digital last year, although Tampa Bay returned to the traditional playbooks this season under a new coaching staff. The top model iPads that feature 64 gigabytes of data and retail for $829 each are loaded with about $700 worth of programming, and most teams issue them to roughly 120 players, coaches, scouts and other personnel. That works out to roughly $180,000 per team. Broncos video director Steve Boxer figures it will take about a year to begin realizing a cost savings from ditching the paper playbooks that consumed trees, money and manpower and kept copy machine repairmen on speed-dial. Daily itinerary updates, diagrams and video are automatically pushed to each iPad so a player can have the video clips of a practice or game downloaded by the time he gets out of the shower. Because the video isn't streaming, he can watch it on the airplane or at his apartment, whether or not he has a Wi-Fi connection. HOME housing SALE announcements for sale MMEH ...

PAGE 7 COMMENTARY Jayhawks must move past loss Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com THIS IS HOW I ROW For Kansas Football it is time to regroup. Yet again. This season was destined to be a difficult one from the start, but losing to Rice on Saturday now makes it more difficult than previously imagined. Looking at the schedule, Kansas fans knew they only had a few opportunities to grab victories this year, and for the most part Rice looked like a chance for one of those wins. As Charlie Weis said at his press conference after the game, the responsibility for a loss starts with him. Senior quarterback Dayne Crist will try to figure out why he's unable to get into a rhythm with his receivers. But it didn't work out that way and now the Jayhawks must try to figure out how to get ready for their next opponent, conference newcomer TCU. The responsibility might start with him, but all the players and coaches under Weis will take a hard look at themselves the next few days as they prepare for the Horned Frogs. After two games with a completion percentage under 50 percent, he knows that he, as well as his teammates, need to get on the same page. Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk The defense will try to figure out how to slow down numerous high-powered offenses. That's the blame from last week, but at this point it doesn't matter anymore. Special teams is also a concern in all aspects: kicking, punting and coverage. The football program will have to vastly improve to compete against TCU. Unlike Rice, who was methodical in moving the football for most of the game, the Big 12 largely consists of teams that boast uptempo offenses and can score in bunches. The defense managed one positive by creating three turnovers in the game, but will that be something sustained throughout the year? The Horned Frogs have been ready to move into the Big 12 ever since they were left out of the original formation of the conference. They are looking to make a statement, and the Jayhawks will probably be the first team in their way in what figures to be an impressive season. With all the difficult tasks that await the Jayhawks, there is one thing Kansas fans must realize. Kansas will now be in a role which they will hold for the rest of the season: underdogs. More than likely the layhawks will not be favored in any of their remaining 10 games. So now the big challenge is for Kansas fans. We knew there would be struggles in bringing in a new coach and whole new philosophy, but will Kansas fans stand beside its team through the difficulties ahead? Let's hope so, but it's going to be a tough road. They are better off than last year. KANSAS ROWING KJI women's rowing assistant coach Carrie Callen is returning to her alma mater after a successful five-year career with the Iowa Hawkeyes. She is expected to help with program recruitment this season. TRAVIS YOIING/KANSAN ALUMNA RETURNS TO COACH CHRISTOPHER SCHAEDER cschaeder@kansan.com For new rowing assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Carrie Callen, the chance to return to her alma mater was an offer she couldn't refuse. "Obviously it's a program I'm very familiar with," Callen said. "There's something special about coaching at your alma mater and being invested in it for the Javahawks is extra special." Callen had never rowed before college, but she, like many other freshman members of the team, walked-on. She was a member of the rowing team from 2002 to 2004 and was designated as a scholar student-athlete. During the 2005-2006 season, she was a graduate assistant coach for the Jayhawks. Callen graduated from Kansas in 2006 with a degree in business administration. She returns to Lawrence after working as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Iowa. During her five years with the Hawkeyes, Callen helped primarily with recruiting and budgeting. Last season, she was nominated for Assistant Coach of the Year. Callen's history with the Kansas program made the move simple. "The coaching transition has been really easy for me because I've known the other coaches, so we haven't had to do the whole get to know you process," Callen said. She thinks that her history with the Kansas program will help the team significantly. "I think the girls need a consistent voice," Callen said. "They need a coach that has been with the program for a few years, which also helps in recruiting." Rowing coach Rob Catloth agreed that Callen's experience recruiting at Iowa will benefit the rowing program at Kansas. "Having the experience of being at a Big Ten school for six years should really help our team," Catloth said. While she coaches in Lawrence, Callen is studying for her Master of Business Administration. Callen has more coaching aspirations for after graduation. "Down the road, I would love to be a head coach," Callen said. "I still have a lot to learn and accomplish as an assistant, and I have an interest in staying at the top Division I rowing." CONTRIBUTED PHOTO For now, Callen is interested in staying at Kansas. "I want to help build the program here and I wouldn't mind being here for awhile," Callen said. MARK MCGREGOR Edited by Hannah Wise SPORTS AWARDS Athletics honors players RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com Athletic director Sheahon Zenger stands track and field star Diamond Dixon and former basketball player Thomas Robinson at the first Rock Chalk Choice Awards Sunday night. The Rock Chalk Choice Awards' athletes of the year should come as no surprise to anyone who followed the 2011- 2012 season. Former basketball All-American Thomas Robinson and Olympic Gold Medalist Diamond Dixon grabbed the top individual honors as athletes of the year at the first Rock Chalk Award ceremony Sunday at the Lied Center. Robinson was a major factor on the basketball team finishing with a 32-7 record and runners-up at the NCAA Tournament. Robinson ended as the only player in the Big 12 to average a double-double with 17.7 points and 11.9 rebounds. In June, Robinson was picked fifth in the NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings. Robinson also accepted the Rock Chalk Moment of Year award with some of his former teammates and assistant coach Kurtis Townsend for the win over Missouri last February in the last installment of the Border Showdown. Dixon made her way on the United States women's 4x400 relay. In London, she ran the second fastest leg with a time of 50.15 seconds in the preliminaries. Her teammates grabbed the gold medal the next day in the event. Dixon was the first layahawk track and field gold medalist since Al Oerter took home the discus gold at the 1968 Olympics. Dixon also helped her teams队mate with a second place at the Indoor Track and Field Championships. There were also four other Kansas athletes that received individual awards. Senior guard Angel Goodrich received the Jayhawker Award, which was given to the person who exuded mental toughness in the face of adversity and competition. Other award winners included the volleyball team who claimed two honors by winning the highest GPA and the CHAMPS award. Recent graduate Leah Daiber received the award for best Jayhawk in a supporting role with her work with the softball team. The Crimson Climb Award was presented to former defensive back Anthony Davis. The award was given to the student-athlete who made consistent academic progress and overcame academic challenges. Andrea Geubelle was awarded the True Blue Award. The award was given to the athlete who demonstrated an ability to excel in academics and athletics on campus and in the community. Geubelle finished her career making eight All-American teams at Kansas. Before entering the Lied Center all participants came in on a red carpet, complete with camera lights flashing and interviews. Edited by Luke Ranker After loss, football prepares for TCU FOOTBALL Saturday's 25-24 loss to Rice is not how Kansas had hoped to end their second week of play. Coach Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Dave Campo pointed out the team's weaknesses and how they can become a better defense in the second game of the season. FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com The defense wanted to build off their five takeaways from South Dakota State. They pulled away with three in the first quarter against Rice, but there were no more to follow after that. The defense was given an 11-point lead that they thought they could easily secure. But as 44,683 fans in Memorial Stadium witnessed, Rice found a way to score just enough points to hand Kansas their first loss of the season. "We've practiced multiple situations," said senior defensive end Toben Opurum. "We've been through situations like this before in the past and the biggest test for us is to see how we respond to this." The Jayhawks defense spent a good amount of time in the film room reviewing their holes and figuring out how to contain junior quarterback Taylor McHargue. McHargue's versatility was something the defense managed to stop for a majority of the game, until the fourth quarter. McHargue led his offense to two fourth down conversions in the game and one crucial third and seven play that eventually set up the game-winning field goal to stun Kansas. "I thought we did a pretty good job the majority of the game," said junior linebacker Holden Tharp. "Obviously we gave up some big pass plays in the end. But I think as far as his scrambling, we did a pretty good job against him." Even before the game, Kansas held themselves to higher standards and were upset that things ended with Rice leaving Memorial Stadium with a win. "I didn't anticipate a loss," Tharp said. "You never anticipate losing a game. Obviously, there are going to be growing pains. But with this loss, obviously we have to take that in a positive way and grow from it and come back ready to work next week by getting ready for TCU." Kansas has moved on from this game and is trying to prepare for conference play. As disappointed as they are from this loss, they have bigger things ahead with a high-powered offense, TCU, coming into Memorial Stadium this Saturday. The Jayhawks know that as frustrating as this loss is, they can't keep their heads down. Their mindset must change this week in practice to prevent another loss to their season record. "In the past we kind of let it hold us down for too long and we end up having negative seasons because of that." Opurm said. "We've got to be able to bounce back and get back on the right path." —Edited by Whitney Bolden e a an rt?

Movie review: 'The Words' PAGE 4 EXCESS HOLLYWOOD REVIEW TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN START SAVING game, Kansas higher stan- et that things ring Memorial AUTUMN APPROACHING PRICEY FUTURE LINDSEY MAYFIELD lmayfield@kansan.com KU graduate Kathryn Unruh said she decided to go to graduate school during her sophomore year at KU, but she had no idea what that meant financially until recently. "I spent quite a bit of time looking into the cost of living at the various schools I was applying to," said Unruh, now a neuroscience graduate student at Vanderbilt University. "Figuring in transportation, whether the schools covered insurance, etc." Unruh only researched Ph.D. programs that were funded by a tuition and living stipend in order to make the cost more affordable. She receives a $26,500 yearly stipend from Vanderbilt, which covers tuition and living expenses. The stipend will allow her to complete graduate school without debt. While Unruh is managing her graduate school costs, Lawrence Free State High School counselor, Joel Frederick, said most students entering undergraduate studies are unable to comprehend the cost of college. "The loan debt is getting worse and worse," Frederick said. "There's still scholarships out there, but scholarship money is not keeping up with the increases in tuition." Frederick said high school students who eventually want to pursue professional degrees are considering community colleges as a way to offset costs. He said although many students are still able to attend college, their student loan debt will be much higher than it would have been in the past. "We can talk to them about it; I'm not sure a lot of them have a good understanding of it," Frederick said. "None of them have bought mortgages, and very few would have credit cards with huge amounts of debt that they would understand credit." A recent study by Fidelity Investments reported that only 31 percent of parents with college-bound children are realistically considering the total cost of college. The College Board's Annual Survey of Colleges reveals the average tuition and fees of a four-year college with in-state tuition is roughly $8,244. The average tuition and fees of the same school for an out-of-state student is $20,770. The Fidelity study also shows that families who calculate total costs are alleviating that burden by choosing less-expensive colleges, planning to rely more on financial aid and urging students to choose majors that promise more lucrative careers. The studies are based on undergraduate tuition. Students who want to pursue a graduate degree have cost considerations in addition to undergraduate tuition. Average tuition and fees for graduate school is roughly $8,763 at public universities and $20,368 at private universities, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Graduate students accrued a total of $35 billion in debt in the 2010-2011 school year alone. Pete Knutson, a financial planner with McDaniel Knutson Financial Partners, said students who are not financially prepared for college should consider spending more than four years in school. "You're better off, in my opinion, staying in college an extra couple years working your way through and chipping away at it so you can graduate with no debt," Knutson said. The Council of Graduate Schools reports that individuals with graduate degrees will be in higher demand during the next several years. Also, DailyFinance reports that the median salary for someone with an advanced degree is $13,000 higher than someone with only a bachelor's degree. The biggest salary jump comes with an advanced degree in health and medical preparatory programs, where salaries can increase Knutson said graduate school makes sense for students studying areas that will provide high salaries, such as law, engineering or medicine. For other less lucrative career paths, he said taking on any debt to pursue a master's degree is not worth it. by as much as 190 percent. "If you get a master's in engineering, that's different than a master's in ceramics," Knuston said. "I'm not sure that master's degrees do as much as they used to, in the same way that college degrees don't do as much as they used to." Average salary increases from an undergraduate degree to a law degree are nearly 81 percent, according to DailyFinance. Nonetheless, Steven Freedman, assistant director of admissions for the KU School of Law, said that nationally, law school applications have dropped dramatically, likely because of the cost. "Many students are shying away from expensive private law schools because they are concerned about taking on excessive debt," Freeman said. "For this reason, a number of students are choosing not to attend law school." Although KU is one of the few schools nationwide to see an increase in applications, Freeman said some students choose to attend cheaper schools or not to attend at all. First-year tuition at KU's School of Law for the 2012-2013 school year totals $18,663 for residents and $31,474 for nonresidents. High school students who plan to attend graduate or professional schools have special considerations when it comes to the costs of an undergraduate degree as well. With the cost of a four-year school up 15 percent from 2008 to 2010, students who aspire to obtain higher degrees have to start planning financially. Although she will graduate without debt, Unruh said, attending graduate school instead of getting a job has costs in the long run. After her first year, she will be required to work 40 or more hours a week in research labs or as a teaching assistant as a condition of her stipend from Vanderbilt, leaving no time for a part-time job or other sources of income. "I am so thankful that I won't be in any debt when I graduate, but I also won't be in a position where I have any sort of savings built up, which is absolutely concerning if I don't find a job soon after I graduate." Unruh said. — Edited by Christy Khamphilay LECTURE 'Food Dude' comes to KU REBEKKA SCHLICHTING rschlichting@kansan.com For students with busy lives and limited cooking skills, fast food dinners often are much simpler than homemade meals. Luckily, help is on the way. Chef Kevin Roberts, also known as "The Food Dude," will host a cooking lecture today at 7 p.m. in woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Roberts will demonstrate quick and simple recipes that can be easily adapted into a college student's hectic lifestyle. Colby Soden, a sophomore from Baldwin City, said he prepares his food according to how much time he has to eat. "I eat mostly frozen food and sandwich stuff," Soden said. "I don't cook very often, maybe once a week." Soden's problem is common among students and those struggling with hectic schedules, Roberts said. "My whole hook is trying to get young adults cooking again," Roberts said. "Everybody's hooked on fast food, and we need to get people back in the kitchen and eating healthier." Roberts started lecturing at colleges in 2004 after his cookbook, "Munchies," was published. The mantra for the book, Roberts said, is to get people eating tasty and healthy meals. He is also the author of "Kissing in the Kitchen," a guide to creating romantic dinners. Along with his college tours, Roberts is the host of TLC's "BBQ Pitmasters" and owner of four sports bars in San Diego. SUA's culinary committee invited Roberts to speak at the University. "We thought this was a good opportunity to tell students about healthy eating, specifically in the dorm rooms, because we know that you can't really make anything in the dorm rooms," said Kelsey Ball, culinary committee coordinator. Free food samples from the presentation will be offered along with sample bottles of Frank's RedHot Sauce. The event is free and open to the public. Edited by Joanna Hlavacek HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SERVICE\SOFTWARE\Renir Munchkin 100% CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Kevin Roberts presents his cookbook titled "Munchies." His goal is for college students to cook their own meals rather than eating fast food the majority of the time. HEALTH Sexual Assault Awareness Week promotes campus safety RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com Though numbers for rape and sexual assault on campus have been low the past few years, Sexual Assault Awareness Week aims to keep the subject fresh in students' minds. Sponsored by The Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity (ETCWGE), this week is intended to make students aware of resources available and the idea that sexual assault is prevalent among college students. "We do not want to overly induce fear or give impression that we are less safe than other campuses," said Kathy Rose-Mockry, ETCWGE director. "KU is a reasonably, relatively safe campus, but demographically, we know it's an area sexual assault is likely." But sexual assault often goes unreported, said Chris Heisskella, director of community education and service for GaDuGi SafeCenter. The KU Office of Public Safety reported two sexual assaults in 2011 and one rape in 2010. "National numbers show it is most likely to happen to women between 18 and 22," Heikkila said. "We know it can happen to anyone, but there is a strong correlation between that age and the age of the traditional college student." During the 2011 calendar year, GaDuGi treated 256 men, women and children from Douglas and Jefferson counties by providing advocacy and crisis therapy. Heikkila said another reason to target sexual assault on a college campus is because it often goes CLASSIFIEDS 6 CROSSWORD 4 CRYPTOQUIPS 4 OPINION 5 SPORTS 8 SUDOKU 4 Index From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. everyday this week on Wescoe Beach, the Commission on the Status of Women, part of ETCWGE, will hand out information on alcohol and consent, bystandard behavior and University harassment policies. hand-in-hand with alcohol consumption, an issue Sexual Assault Awareness Week combats. Amanda Schulze, a coordinator for CSW, said a main concern for her as a student is the education of both genders on alcohol and consent. "I think it's really important to realize both genders are responsible for the alcohol they drink." Schulz said. "But men do need to know that giving a girl alcohol in the hopes of something happening is not ok."

Baby hospitalized after ingesting hard drugs KSNW-TV reports the baby was upgraded to stable condition Tuesday at St. Francis Regional Medical Center. WICHTA. Kan. — Police in Wichita say an 8-month-old girl whose mother claimed she had fallen off a bed was really under the influence of methamphetamine. The 34-year-old mother has been arrested on suspicion of child endangement and possession of drugs and paraphernalia. Police say the mother called paramedics Monday saying her daughter was unresponsive after falling out of bed. The baby was taken in critical condition to the hospital, where doctors found meth in her system. The baby has been placed in protective custody. A 50-year-old man living at the same extended-stay motel as the mother and child has also been arrested. It wasn't clear Tuesday how the baby ingested meth. MILITARY Associated Press Monument to include soldiers from Fort Riley FORT RILEY, Kan. — The names of 16 soldiers are now part of a monument near Fort Riley's Cavalry Parade Field after a ceremony Tuesday to mark the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The event was held by the 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley. The names joined those of 188 soldiers on the Global War on Terrorism Monument near the U.S. Cavalry Museum at the northeast Kansas Army post. All of the names are of service members who either deployed to combat from Fort Riley or who mobilized through the installation before going to war. The annual event pays tribute to the nearly 3,000 people who were killed in the attacks on New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, as well as the thousands of soldiers who have been killed or wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Brig. Gen. Don MacWille, senior commander of Fort Riley and the 1st Infantry Division, said the attacks united the United States around a cause, rather than fear. Information based on the Douglas County Sheriff's Office booking recap and KU Office of Public Safety crime reports.

HONORING THE FALLEN Presidential candidates remember 9/11 TOMMY LOVETTE President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, joined by members of the White House staff, pause during a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington yesterday to mark the 11th anniversary of 9/11. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The presidential candidates are taking a break from their partisan attacks — but not all their politicking — to remember the 9/11 anniversary. President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney pulled their negative ads and avoided appearing at campaign rallies in honor of the 11th anniversary of the terrorist strike. But Obama's camp sent former President Bill Clinton to swing-state Florida for an evening rally eight weeks before Election Day. And the day offered Romney a chance in a speech to a meeting of the National Guard to address criticism that he didn't include a salute to the troops or reference the war in Afghanistan in his convention speech. "With less than two months to go before Election Day, I would normally speak to a gathering like this about the differences between my and my opponent's plans for our military and for our national security," Romney told thousands packed into the Reno, Nev., convention hall. "There is a time and a place for that, but this day is not it." He went on to thank the troops who protect our country, "including those who traced the trail of terror to that walled compound in Abbottabad and the SEALs who delivered justice to Osama bin Laden," Romney said in a nod to his rival without mentioning his name. The remark won loud applause. the president and first lady Michelle Obama observed the anniversary with moments of silence on the White House's South Lawn and at the Pentagon, the target of one of the four planes hijacked by al-Qaida operatives. "Eleven times, we have paused in remembrance, in reflection, in unity and in purpose," Obama told the crowd of family members of the Pentagon victims. "This is never an easy day." The president then went to Arlington National Cemetery, where he visited the graves of recent war dead from Afghanistan and Iraq and placed presidential challenge coins in front of their headstones. He later planned to visit wounded soldiers and their families at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. At the time of the somber White House observance, Romney was shaking hands with firefighters at The speech was an opportunity for Romney to address criticism from Democrats that he's not ready to be commander in chief or that he hasn't provided Chicago's O'Hare Airport, their yellow trucks forming a backdrop that recalled the sacrifice of first responders to the attacks. The Republican nominee then flew to Nevada to address the National Guard, whose members deployed as part of the military response. enough detail about how he would handle Afghanistan — attacks that stopped for the day but were sure to continue in the coming weeks. Obama's goal is to end all U.S. combat there by the end of 2014, while Romney has avoided specifics about troop numbers. Romney repeated his position in the speech Tuesday that his goal would be for U.S. troops to hand over security to Afghan troops by the same deadline, while evaluating the conditions on the ground and soliciting the best advice of commanders. v "We can all agree that our men and women in the field deserve a clear mission, that they deserve the resources and resolute leadership they need to complete that mission, and that they deserve a country that will provide for their needs when they come home," he said. Vice President Joe Biden attended a memorial service in his home state of Pennsylvania, where one of the hijacked airliners crashed in the fields of Shanksville. Negative ads were off the air Tuesday, following precedent for the anniversary. The 9/11 attack killed nearly 3,000 in the United States and was followed by wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He told the families of the victims that "what they did for this country is still etched in the minds of not only you but millions of Americans forever." At least 1,987 U.S. troops have died in Afghanistan and 4,475 in Iraq, according to the Pentagon. 0 NSAN 80 53 mny THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 15 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 and a cause, designed to nose attacks the American he still stand- d.

ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW (AP) — Scientists have discovered well-preserved frozen woolly mammoth fragments deep in Siberia that may contain living cells, edging a tad closer to the "Jurassic Park" possibility of cloning a prehistoric animal, the mission's organizer said Tuesday. Russia's North-Eastern Federal University said an international team of researchers had discovered mammoth hair, soft tissues and bone marrow some 328 feet underground during a summer expedition in the northeastern province of Yakutia. Expedition chief Semyon Grigoryev said Korean scientists with the team had set a goal of finding living cells in the hope of cloning a mammoth. Scientists have previously found bones and fragments but not living cells. Grigoryev told the online newspaper Vzglyad it would take months of research to determine whether they have indeed found the cells. "Only after thorough laboratory research will it be known whether these are living cells or not," he said, adding that would take until the end of the year at the earliest. Woolly manmoths are thought to have died out around 10,000 years ago, although scientists think small groups of them lived longer in Alaska and on Russia's Wrangel Island off the Siberian coast. phered much of the genetic code of the woolly mammoth from balls of mammoth hair found frozen in the Siberian permafrost. SOUTHERN ASIA Some believe it's possible to recreate the prehistoric animal if they find living cells in the permafrost. Those who succeed in recreating an extinct animal could claim a "turassic Park prize," the concept of which is being developed by the X Prize Foundation that awarded a 2004 prize for the first private spacecraft. Scientists already have deci- Tobacco takes over Indonesia ASSOCIATED PRESS JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesian men rank as the world's top smokers, with two out of three of them lighting up in a country where cigarettes cost pennies and tobacco advertising is everywhere. A survey released Tuesday found that 67 percent of all males over 15 years old smoke. The sprawling archipelago ranked second only to Russia overall with a rate of 35 percent compared to 39 percent, respectively. "We have failed in protecting our people," said Health Minister Nafsiah Mboi, commenting on the rate of male smokers jumping from 53 percent since 1995. "We have been defeated by the tobacco industry ... we don't want this, we cannot accept this because our job is to protect people from cigarettes." More than 8,000 people participated in the study last year, which is part of a global series of surveys taken in 15 countries with heavy tobacco use and supported by the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It also found a high rate of Indonesians were subjected to second-hand smoke at work, home and in public places. Mboi said she was particularly alarmed to learn that nearly 80 percent of Indonesians are exposed to smoke at home. "How is the number of parents smoking at home with kids so high? It means that they are damaging their children's lungs, whether intentionally or not," she said. "As the health minister, I am ashamed to let this condition continue." Indonesia has long been criticized for its lack of tobacco controls. It is one of a remaining handful of countries that has failed to sign the WHO's tobacco treaty. Giant billboards promote cigarettes and commercials run on television and before movies in theaters. Local and multinational tobacco companies also routinely sponsor sporting events and concerts — advertising that has long been banned in many countries. Most Indonesian men crave kreteks, a pungent mixture of tobacco and cloves, but brands such as Marlboro, produced by U.S.- based Philip Morris International, have also gained in popularity. About 3 percent of women smoke in the country. Health regulations passed in 2009 call for a number of tighter tobacco controls, including bans on advertising and smoking in public places, but they have yet to be implemented by the government. "It's just sitting there," said Mark Hurley of the Washington-based Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, who attended the report's launch in Jakarta. "I think if there was high-level approval, the health regulations would have been passed a long time ago." Smoking-related illnesses kill at least 200,000 annually in Indonesia.

MIDDLE EAST Al-Qaida leader killed in U.S. drone strike SITE ASSOCIATED PRESS This frame grabbed from a video posted on a militant-leaning Web site, and provided by the SITE Intelligence Group, shows Abu Yahya al-Libi, whose death was confirmed by al-Qaida chief Ayman Al-Zawahri in a video posted late Monday, Sept. 10, 2012. I ASSOCIATED PRESS CAIRO (AP) — The leader of al-Qaida confirmed the death of the group's second-in-command, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in northwestern Pakistan in June. In a video posted late Monday on militant websites, al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri described his lie lutenant Abu Yahu al-Libi as a "lion of ijad and knowledge." The killing of al-Libi, who was Libyan by birth, was the biggest setback to al-Qaida since the death of Osama bin Laden.

Woody Allen employed such a tale of plagiarism to great effect as a subplot before. However, to expand this concept into the main narrative of a feature-length film, Klugman and Sterthal dress it up as part of a story within a story within a story, attempting to frame this simple tale with a layered conceit. an enamored Olivia Wilde) narrating his new book. The book itself unfolds on-screen as the central narrative in which frustrated writer Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper) can't get his career off the ground. Upon finding a 60-year-old unpublished manuscript about a deeply affective love story, Rory claims it as his own, and it subsequently becomes an unfathomable hit. So, to compensate, they try to polish a dud with a fancy structure and pretty actors, but in the end the movie can't transcend the familiar morality play were all tired of seeing when it has nothing new to offer — despite its good intentions. The weakest layer of the film has Dennis Quaid as an author in front of an audience (and later with only The young hopeful who originally wrote this lost masterpiece, now an old man (Jeremy Irons), then confronts Rory and reveals the real tale behind his book. This plays out as a visually engrossing, tender but tragic romance in post-World War II Paris, working as both the heart of "The Words" and the most compelling section. Saldana can escape the shallowness of the script, at least the legendary Irons highlights the film with his sage, gravelly voiced narration and mysterious, magnetizing humanity. Quaid, on the other hand, turns his unnecessary portion of "The Words" into a disposable nuisance. He lacks any authentic conviction in his delivery, and even though Wilde is the only other actor he interacts with, they're never believable because of their uncomfortably weak chemistry with each other. By the time this layer of the movie actually adds some depth to the overall plot and theme, it comes too little too late, long after viewers have already checked out. Unfortunately, the surrounding narrative of Rory's relationship with his wife (Zoe Saldana) and his ethical turmoil concerning his literary theft never particularly engages viewers, more frequently boring them with many recycled character clichés.

For those making the daily commute to Lawrence from another city, the day starts much earlier. If she were president she would be Baberaham Lincoln.

This test is already over. I thought the George Michael article was about "Arrested Development." Man did I get gyped. First White Owl, now Dan? Who's next? Come on KU, we need some sanity relief! I've been making the commute from Overland Park to Lawrence for the past two years, and judging by the growing number of bus-travelers I see on the K-10 Connector (the bus transporting people to and from Lawrence), commuting is becoming a popular trend for KU students in neighboring cities. Forget Five Guys, we need an In-n-out on campus. I miss Dan. : ( It hasn't been the same since he left. Doing homework or reading "Spiderman" comics... College problems. Take recent KU graduate Jarod Kilgore for example. Kilgore commuted from Olathe approximately six days a week last year and held a weekend job in Lawrence as well. Kilgore's earliest class was a Friday morning discussion at 9 a.m., a class he woke up for at 7 a.m. After all, anyone who commutes is suffering through the process for an education, and that's what sticks at the back of my head every time I have a large person squeeze in next to me on the bus at 8 a.m. At the end of the day it makes perfectly logical sense for me to commute to and from Lawrence. Getting through the day, however, is what makes commuting a tall order for any KU student. allows me to get an hour's worth of schoolwork done while using the bus 'free Wi-Fi, so I'll take the silver lining in stride. "I could take my time, eat a couple bowls of Cap'n Crunch, but still leave my house by eight," Kilgore said. "This gave me plenty of time to get to campus, which was about a 40 minute drive, then walk to the class, which was about 10 minutes from the rec parking lot, where I parked every day for class." Aside from the obvious time inconveniences commuting presents, food costs expose another element of the daily commuting By Stephane Roque sroque@kansan.com So why do commuters put up with all the hassle? The overspending on food and earlier wake-up times? The answer is pretty simple: money. Saving what I estimate to be $400 to $600 a month on rent and utilities by living at home, I can put some extra cash away in the process. Sure, taking the K-10 Connector several times a week can become a tedious task, but it "I obviously didn't have a place to store food in Lawrence, so I would almost always go out, or at the least get something I could transport easily in my backpack," Kilgore said. "I spent significantly more money on food because I lived outside of Lawrence." grind. Bringing a sack lunch is the ideal option—you save money by not resorting to The Underground or local restaurants.

Follow him POLITICS Internet freedom vital in election By Brett Phillippe bphillippe@nsan.com When it comes to deciding whom to vote for in this upcoming election, most will vote for the one candidate who they agree with on the standard issues. In this election, we should be looking not only at the major issues, but maybe the least talked about issue of all: Internet freedom. This issue is an interesting topic that dates back to earlier in Obama's presidency when the White House opposed the infamous "Stop Online Piracy Act," or SOPA. This is a very important issue in today's world for many reasons, but mostly it is important because if we do not have freedom on the Internet, then it is a free fall on all our other freedoms. For those who do not know about Internet freedom, it is best described as an issue that, according to Netfreedom.com, is "opposed to all forms of censorship and content regulation on the Net." According to the Democratic Party Platform, the Obama administration's stance is "the freedom of expression, assembly, and association online for people everywhere—through coalitions of countries and by empowering individuals and innovative technologies." This is an interesting and important issue because the Obama administration and Democrats in general shot down the SOPA Bill. Now, as the Democrats have put forward an Internet freedom platform, so have the republicans. In their version of the Internet freedom platform, they insist that they will expand broadband access and support net neutrality, something that Republicans say Democrats have not done. Ultimately though, both sides look to be pushing to have our great nation experience Internet freedom. Both sides seem to be coming together on agreement on what is called the Multi-Stakeholder Model of Internet governance. According to an article on Mashable.com, which states, "To preserve the Internet as a platform for commerce, debate, learning, and innovation in the 21st century." To me, this seems to be something that both sides need and will make us as a nation freer in the aspect of the Internet. Because, with some our freedoms being infringed on every day, it is good to finally see both sides coming together to agree on an issue as important as this. And with the freedom that this will give the citizens of our great nation, we can start to explore different avenues of the Internet and dive deeper into our creativity and exploration. And this is what we as a nation are shooting to get back to, an age of creativity and exploration. So, when you go to the voting booth in a couple of months, take heart in knowing that either side of the political aisle will be pushing hard for Internet freedom, and thus, bringing back the creative age.

CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dan the Bus Driver, as he is so affectionately called by the students, is an important centerpiece for the University of Kansas. What makes Dan unique is that he knows many of his students on a first name basis; something most other bus drivers cannot say, nor care to. One of the school mottos, "A great place to be you" immediately pops to mind. Dan was known for singing, whistling, and interacting with his passengers during their route to yet another class. Was he let go because he was different than the other bus drivers by being himself? As the founder and one of the administrators of the We Love Dan (The KU Bus Driver) Facebook page with over 1,000 "likes," it has certainly warmed my heart to see the outpouring of student support regarding this recent decision by MV Transportation with a petition containing over 3,000 signatures to bring Dan back. There are tons of stories on there about individual students' first contact with Dan. All show a common trend: Dan made them feel welcome at KU. I help Admissions, and Scholarships during the recruitment process of new freshmen, and it was always nice when Dan would give me a shout-out during my campus tours. It just helped me drive home the point that KU is as small as you want it to be – not this huge university where students are just a number. As the contract KU has with MV Transportation expires soon (sometime in 2013), I am really questioning if this contract would be better suited in the hands of a company that genuinely prides itself on superb service. To my best recollection, service includes creating a positive relationship with your customers (in this case, students). Why terminate one of your best on that front? Skyler Richardson Senior from Salina FINANCE Students must spend wisely Have you ever experienced that "oh snap!" moment when you realize you need to get your life together? That's how I felt when Student Money Management Services talked to one of my campus groups about budgets and financial planning. The representative essentially scared the you-know-what out of us with talk of stolen identities, credit card scams and student loan debt, but what I was left with was this: if you're in college, you're too old to not know where your money goes. By Lindsey Mayfield lmayfield@kansan.com I, like many of my friends, had been living under the delusion that, "hey, I'm only 20 and I'm in college. I'm pretty much obligated to have terrible spending habits and no savings, right?" Wrong. Spending has become much easier with the creation of credit and debit cards, ATMs and online shopping services. So easy that many students find themselves swiping their cards multiple times a day, yet being surprised when that dollar amount is dangerously low at the end of the month. Sure, the things for which the average college student has to budget may seem trivial: gas, food, clothes, etc. These seemingly small college expenses, however, are anything but. A 2012 report by apartmentguide.com shows that college students spend 40 percent of their budget on discretionary expenses, the biggest categories being food, technology and appearance. A morning coffee run or weekend bar crawl may only cost a few dollars each, but students spend about $100 per month on coffee. and $50 per month on beer. In fact, college students spend $5.5 billion on alcohol annually. The average college student also owns six digital devices and spends a portion of monthly funds on convenience food purchases, such as fast food. 11111. Chances are you spend money on one or all of these things without a second thought. What Student Money Management Services stressed to us is that spending money on these categories is not a bad thing, as long as you know just how much. It was a classic example of someone who had no idea how much they were spending on non-essential items. Once I used budgeting tools to figure out how much I had spent at Jimmy Johns in 2012 (an amount I will not disclose purely out of embarrassment), I knew it was time for a change. If you're a student that is paying for all or a portion of your own tuition, books and housing, you likely have an idea of how closely expenses have to be monitored in order to make ends meet. Props to those students who have part-time jobs, are paying off student loan debt, or pay for their own education. You are a hard-working group that, in my opinion, doesn't get as much credit as you deserve. If, on the other hand, you're one of those people that gets a check from mom and dad every month, you're at even higher risk of mismanaging your money, especially after college ends and that check stops coming. Budgeting for rent, utilities and a phone bill are not skills that come naturally; it takes practice with small daily purchases to become an expert budgeter. What I realized after Student Money Management Services' presentation was that being young and in college was not an excuse for losing track of my money. I no longer wanted to be flirting with an empty bank account balance at the end of each school year, and having no idea where my summer savings had gone. I personally enjoy using Mint.com to keep track of my spending, but there are plenty of ways to keep finances in check. Whether it's a personal finance advisor, an online tracking device or a spiral notebook, find a way to determine how much money you're currently spending, then how much you actually want to spend. It's a scary concept, I know. I still get nervous each time I look up how much I've spent on Red Bull and cute shoes each month. But trust me, post-college-you will thank you. You might even have enough leftover each month to save up for that spring break boozefest you've been looking forward to (just kidding, but $5.5 billion annually! Can you really blame me?).

PAGE 6 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN COURTS Former Salvadoran military official pleads guilty to lying ASSOCIATED PRESS 103 Inocente Orlando Montano, a former Salvadoran military officer, arrives at federal court in Boston. Montano, accused of colluding in the 1989 slayings of six Jesuit priests, admitted Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012 in federal court in Boston that he lied to U.S. immigration officials, a guilty plea that could allow him to be extradited to Spain for prosecution in the killings. ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — A former Salvadoran military official accused of colluding in the 1989 slavings of six lesuit priests admitted Tuesday that he lied to U.S. immigration officials, a guilty plea that could allow him to be extradited to Spain for prosecution in the killings. Inocente Orlando Montano was among 20 Salvadorans indicted in Spain last year for their alleged roles in the killings during El Salvador's 12-year civil war. Montano has denied any involvement in the assassinations. Montano, now 70, had lived in the Boston area for about a decade when he was arrested last year on immigration charges. Once a high-ranking military official, he said he had been working at a candy factory in the U.S. Under a deal with prosecutors, Montano pleaded guilty to three counts of immigration fraud and three counts of perjury. He admitted he lied when he applied for temporary protected status, a designation that allows some foreigners to stay in the United States if they are unable to safely return to their own country because of an armed conflict or other reasons. Government attorneys say sentencing guidelines call for up to two years in prison. Montano's lawyer said he expects to argue at the Dec. 18 sentencing hearing that the guidelines call for less. Carolyn Patty Blum, senior legal adviser for The Center for Justice and Accountability, a San Francisco-based human rights organization, said Montano was one of the most powerful military officials in El Salvador when the priests were killed. "We believe he was involved in all the meetings in which the assassination was discussed, planned and ordered," she said. In May 2011, a Spanish judge indicted 20 suspects and issued international arrest warrants. The U.S. government has not indicated whether it would extradite Montano to Spain. A spokeswoman for the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. Blum said the group is hoping the government will honor the extradition request while Montano is serving his U.S. prison sentence. "There is no requirement and/ or law for them to wait until he finishes his sentence," she said. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Capin said Montana lied about his entry date into the United States so he could be eligible to receive temporary protected status. Montano, who was living in Everett when he was arrested, acknowledged in response to questions from a judge that he was a military officer in El Salvador and held the high position of vice minister for public security from 1989 to 1992. He admitted he lied on immigration forms. "I wished to stay here to work," he said through an interpreter. In pleading guilty, Montano "is not acknowledging or making any admissions" to any crimes other than the immigration charges, said his lawyer, Oscar Cruz. He said the plea agreement does not preclude Montano from fighting extradition. Capin said prosecutors plan to argue at sentencing that Montana's lies were "motivated by his desire to conceal human rights violations he participated in El Salvador." U. S. District Judge Douglas Woodlock said he will consider evidence on why Montano came to the United States when he sentences Montano. "Motive is something that I will consider." Woodlock said. Miguel Montenegro, director of Salvador's Human Rights Commission, a nongovernmental body that aids victims and investigates allegations of rights violations, said the commission was eager to support anyone trying to prosecute Montano. "We aren't going to let up under any circumstances," he said. "We support any effort, wherever it comes from, because we believe it's right that people implicated in these types of acts are prosecuted, whether these types of crimes committed by these military men are prosecuted here in our country or in another country." The guilty plea reinforce the message that the United States won't ignore alleged foreign crimes by people who seek to live here, said John Morton, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "ICE will not allow our shores to be a place of refuge for those who persecute and oppress others." Morton said. IMMIGRATION Hotel owners arrested for hiring illegal labor KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A federal prosecutor says the arrests of two suburban Kansas City hotel owners for knowingly employing illegal immigrants sends a signal that cutting corners to gain a competitive advantage won't be tolerated. U. S. Attorney Barry Grissom on Tuesday announced charges against 51-year-old Munir Ahmad Chaudary and his wife, 40-year-old Rhonda Bridge. Their two companies and a man who worked for them also were named in the indictment. Grissom says the Overland Park, Kan. couple owned Clarion Hotels in Overland Park and near Kansas City International Airport in Missouri. He says the government is seeking to have the hotels — with an estimated combined value of around $5 million — forfeited to the government. Chaudary and Bridge were expected to be released after making a court appearance Tuesday. CRIME Man killed by silicone injection in penis AP ASSOCIATED PRESS — a procedure experts cautioned doesn't work. NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey woman pleaded not guilty Tuesday to causing a man's death with an injection of silicone he hoped would enlarge his penis to prosecutors. Kasia Rivera, 35, could face up to ten years in prison if convicted of reckless manslaughter in the death of 22-year-old Justin Street. Street, a father of two, had gone to Rivera on May 5 seeking a penile enlargement procedure, which prosecutors say Rivera advertised for in fliers posted at local businesses. Rivera, who performed the procedures in her apartment, allegedly with no medical license or training, administered a silicone shot to Street's penis, according Street died the next day. His death was ruled a homicide following an investigation and a medical examiner's determination that he died of a silicone embolism. Rivera was indicted by a grand jury last month. Investigators believe Rivera may have conducted similar unauthorized procedures out of her East Orange apartment, but prosecutors said a search for witnesses, and a public plea for people to step forward, had not yielded any other clients to date. Rivera, who remains free on $75,000 bail, declined to comment through her court-appointed attorney Tuesday. Both Rivera and Street were from East Orange, and the case is being heard in Superior Court in neighboring Newark. Daniel Elliott, an associate professor of urology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., said it was the first case he heard of involving a silicone injection to the penis, but he's dealt with similar cases where patients had attempted to enlarge their penises with injections of fat or other substances. None of it works, Elliott emphasized, adding that there is no medical justification for the procedure. Enhancement procedures performed by unlicensed practitioners or people with no medical training are more commonly seen among "If there were a legitimate method for penile lengthening, Johnson & Johnson or Pfizer would have bought it up and made billions and billions of dollars worldwide," Elliott said. "The fact that they don't means it does not exist." women, Elliott said. Liquid silicone is sought on the black market by women seeking to enhance their figures, even though it is not approved for cosmetic injections. Besides liquid silicone, injections of substances including paraffin, petroleum jelly and hydrogel have been illegally used to enlarge women's breasts, hips and buttocks. In February 2011, a woman from London died after receiving cosmetic injections to enlarge her buttocks at a hotel near Philadelphia International Airport. Philadelphia police said 20-year-old Claudia Aderotimi died after she and a friend arranged online to receive injections. Aderotini died after complaining of chest pain and difficulty breathing following the procedure.

ST om Steamboat rip.com FACT OF THE DAY KU Athletics Kansas signed its current athletic deal with Adidas in April of 2005. The light-year deal is worth $26.67 million and runs through the 2012-13 school year. FACT TRIVIA OF THE DAY A: The Crimson is to honor Col. John H. McCook, a Harvard graduate who gave money for Kansas's athletic field in 1890, and the blue is for the faculty members that wanted to ensure their academic lineage was honored too. The colors were officially adopted in 1896. Q: Why does Kansas wear Crimson and Blue? — ku.edu THE MORNING BREW New jerseys needed for morale boost The Kansas football team has invested in a new regime to turn the program around. The new faces running the program can't immediately make the team a Bowl Championship Series champion, but they can make it look better. And by look better, I mean buy new uniforms. By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com On the surface, there is nothing inherently wrong with the jerseys, but there's nothing exciting either. The uniforms look fine in person, but on television there's something slightly off about them. Kansas did have success in the relatively similar uniform scheme in the 2008 Orange Bowl. When I see the current uniforms, however, I am reminded of the two-year stretch in which Turner Gill had the reins, a stretch most fans would rather beat out of their memories with hammers rather than be reminded of everyday. Dez Briscoe used up the last of the current jerseys swag back in his school record-breaking 2008 season. The good news: The jerseys can be easily fixed. First, bring back the red home jerseys, and not just once a year against an early-season cream-puff game. Wear the jerseys for any big game. This is the color Kansas chose to wear in its only BCS bowl game victory and should never have been mothballed. Kansas athletics are sponsored by Adidas, which has seriously been lacking behind Nike in the imagination category for college uniforms. Nike has the pro-combat college uniform designs, so why not start be the guinea pig for a line of Adidas battleground gear? Sure, the early results might not be the greatest. For example, Oregon had to put on some pretty bad combinations a few years ago. However, in recent years Oregon's uniforms have really come together for some pretty awesome combinations. I don't want a new uniform every week, but I think a fierce Jayhawk on one-half of the helmet, similar to Boise State's alternative. would look great. At the very least it would be better than Missouri's new attempt at the Tiger on its helmet. The baseball team wears a lajayh on their hats, so why can't the football team put one of the nation's best mascots on its helmets? Although the white-onblue away uniform combination looks fine — it is actually my current favorite combination for away games — it has seen three of the worst defeats in recent Kansas history. These include 2011 losses against Oklahoma State (70-28, when the Cowboys pulled their starters in the second quarter), Texas A&M (61-7) and 2010's loss to Baylor University (55-7). KU The white-on-blue is like an ex with a lot of bagage — it needs to be dumped immediately. Will jerseys make the team any better? That I can't say, but I believe it was Tzu who said "You've got to look good to play good." OK, I made that up. But new jerseys would make headlines, and when the product on the field is struggling, why not try and change the subject? I can't remember how Maryland finished last season (it was pretty bad), but I definitely remember the jerseys they wore that were modeled after the Maryland State Flag.

Former Jayhawk continues career in France GEOFFREY CALVER gcalvert@kansan.com 1 5 17 RENEE DUMLER/KANSAN Sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers goes in for a spike on Saturday, Sept. 8 at the Horsei Family Athletic Center. Kansas beat Woymong 3-0. The day after seeing her former Jayhawk volleyball teammates at the Crimson and Blue match, 2012 Kansas graduate Allison Mayfield left the country to begin her new life as a professional volleyball player in France. Mayfield, who holds the Jayhawks' single season kills record with 462, signed a one-year contract to play for CSM Clamart in Clamart, France, a suburb of Paris. "I submitted video of me playing to my agent, who then put it online," Mayfield said via email. "Teams that are interested in picking up new players then go online and check out the videos for prospective players." Besides Clamart, Mayfield received offers from teams in Hungary, Southern Finland and Cyprus. She said she chose Clamart because they offered the best contract and living in France appealed to her. Although Mayfield arrived in France less than a month ago, she said Clamart has a home feeling and most places she needs to go are within walking distance. "Not having to work or take class outside of playing allows for a lot of free time, but I am finding fun ways to fill that free time exploring and experiencing a country that is new to me" Mayfield said. Mayfield majored in exercise science because she wanted to become a physical therapist when she finished playing. However, she said playing professionally was always her goal. "But unlike becoming a professional basketball or football player, it is not about all the money and fame playing professional volleyball," Mayfield said. "I am playing because I love playing volleyball and was not ready to be completely finished. Getting able to play and being able to see parts of the world that I otherwise may not be able to see are added bonuses." The biggest difference between collegiate volleyball in the United States and international volleyball is the substitution rule. In college, teams may substitute 15 times per set. Internationally, teams may substitute only six times per set. Kansas coach Ray Bechard said that if people watched the United States' Olympic team last summer, they saw players who were able to play six positions on the court because of the substitution rules. Although collegiate players typically specialize in positions, Mayfield played all positions on the court in college, which made her appealing to professional teams. Redshirt junior Catherine Carmichael said the Jayhawk team is different this year because they don't have a player as versatile as Mayfield. Because the substitution rules in college are more relaxed, however, it allows the team members to work on specializing their positions more. "Mayfield was a six-rotation player, and Sara (McClinton, sophomore outside hitter) and I aren't at that spot yet," Carmichael said. "But we have people who come in for us. I think with Sara and I giving good offense, then when we go out we can depend on our defenders to come in and play good defense for us as well." To play professional volleyball. Mayfield had to travel overseas because no national volleyball league exists in the United States. Mayfield said interest in collegiate volleyball might be the first step in getting a professional volleyball league started. "You just don't see too many collegiate teams where volleyball is a revenue sport," Mayfield said. "You do have some exceptions, like Nebraska, who sells out every match every year, but in general not enough people support collegiate volleyball, so that would be the first step." Bechard credited the Olympics with creating awareness about a lack of a professional league in the United States. He said there's a serious push to get a volleyball league started in the United States, but money will be the factor. "In the late '90s Bill Kennedy out of Chicago made an attempt, and he had a lot of money, and he lost quite a bit of money." Bechard said. "I think the players need to probably make some sort of salary, which means you need to get some form of sponsorship in place." Not only was Mayfield the Jayhawks' single season kills leader, she also finished as the Jayhawks' single season and career leader in total attempts. Carmichael said Mayfield was a special player because of her ability to get critical points. "I think her presence is something that people looked for, for maybe just energy and being able to go to her for that one — if you needed a kill on game point — that one person you could depend on," Carmichael said. — Edited by Luke Ranker PLEASE RECYCLE THIS PAPER HAPPY HOUR HALF PRICE APPETIZERS, JUMBO MARGARITAS, WINE, & BIG BEERS INCLUDING: BOULEVARD WHEAT DOS EQUIS LIGHT MONDAY THRU FRIDAY 3 TO 6 PM Carlos O'Kelly's MEXICAN CAPE Carlos O'Kelly's MERCEDES RAFE LIED CENTER PRESENTS JOHN LITHGOW MONDAY, SEPT. 17, 7:30 p.m. STORIES HEART A one-man theatrical memoir E.G Wodehouse "Uncle Fred..."

September 12, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY GANSAN S sports/ Jayhawk joins professional French volleyball team PAGE 7 COMMENTARY Bleak outlook for season By Mike Vernon mvernon@kansan.com 1-11. The Jayhawks may be better by the season's end — better than they have been for the last two to three years — but that doesn't mean the record will show it. That obtainable record is smacking everyone involved with Kansas football in the face. 1-11. Kansas almost certainly will not be favored in any of the games it plays this season from here on out. They will be underdogs to: TCU, Northern Illinois, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Iowa State and West Virginia. Sure, the Kansas football team may improve this season. It certainly should. New coaches, a new (mediocre) quarterback, it will all take time, blah blah blah. You've heard it all by now. The palm of defeat is hitting the fans, the players, the coaches, Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger, the faculty and local businesses, Everyone Oh, and it stings — a lot The fact is, Kansas football may have to continue its free fall before it can bunge back. By that, I mean 1-11. It would take an upset — and a big one at that — if the Jayhawks hope to finish anything but 1-11. 1-11. Dayne Crist will have to play well to give Kansas a chance to win another game, and if the quarterback doesn't look good against Rice and South Dakota State, why should anyone think he'll be good against Texas or Oklahoma? For the record: completing 16 of 28 passes for 144-yards against Rice is not playing well. It's not even playing average or close to it. Last season, Rice allowed 278.7 passing yards per game. That's part of this long, boulder filled route to recovery. However, there were some positives to come out of Saturday's debacle. For instance, at least the players know that what happened wasn't and isn't OK. Apparently, amazingly, it hasn't always been this way for the lavwhaws. But my question is: How was it fathomable that these players did not know giving up a fourth-quarter lead to Rice wasn't OK? Until then, the losses will pile on. I'm just going to guess that they knew. Maybe the difference is that they're getting reminded of it now, and that's a good thing for Kansas football. "The reaction from Coach Weis after a game was significantly different," junior linebacker Huldon Tharpe said. "In years past there's kind of been some pats on the back and stuff like that. It was almost like a breath of fresh air. I want a coach that's hard on me and expects everything from us. You need a coach that's going to push you. It's not just about the players, he's pushing himself. He said he made plenty of mistakes." Good for Weis. He did what a coach should and challenged the team after a bad loss. He said one of his big teaching points after the game was telling them what happened wasn't OK. 1-11, here Kansas comes. Edited by Sarah McCabe ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT CRIST TO 'LOOSEN UP' FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com Dayne Crist was hard on himself after Saturday's disappointing loss. As a fifth-year senior, Crist felt more pressure and expected more out of himself in his first two games as a jayhawk. He said no player on the team was more upset than he was. Coach Charlie Weis noticed Crist needed some motivation. Although the two often hold private conversations, after the Jayhawks game against Rice, Weis and Crist's discussion strayed from its normal route when they spoke on Monday night, and Weis gave him the optimism he needed to move forward and prepare for the Texas Christian game. PETER HUSTON Crist did not want to go into the specifics with what was said, but he made it clear that he changed his mindset, and the loss to Rice is now behind him. Now he will set his focus on getting his team ready for TCU as the Jayhawks prepare to kick off their first conference game of the season this Saturday. "He and I had a great conversation at length about that," Crist said. "I think that we both came out of that conversation very positive and just having a better understanding of what is going on around me on offense" Crist Crist completed 52 percent of completed 52 percent of his passes in his first two games this season. He aims to improve his completion percentage by relaxing more in the pocket. "With how tight I looked playing, that's not me at all," he said. "I'm missing throws that I don't miss. That was a combination of a lot of things. I've identified the issues that I think I needed to identify" Weis reminded Crist that the burden is not all on him, nor is it his job to carry the team. When Crist struggles again in the future, Weis let him know that his teammates are his best source of help. "We've got a couple of good runners who can run the ball efficiently," Weis said. "So if you're a quarterback, then you don't have to bear all the weight on your shoulders. Now it means that we don't have to throw it on every down to win. We just need to be much more efficient when we do throw the ball. I think that's what I'm expecting to see from him this week." Crist said his coaches' words of encouragement helped him realize the talent that surrounds him. Crist knows that even as one of the leaders of the team, he should not feel the need to put the team on his back. When times get tough in the passing game, Crist can lean on running backs Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox for support. "I've gone out and said it publicly before, but with the way our running backs have been able to run the ball, it's really about going out, running the offense and having fun," Crist said. "Any great, winning offense is going to have a solid running game. That's awesome that we have that. Now we have to build on the passing game, I think that's something that takes a lot of pressure off the quarterback." With the lajhawks facing a big conference game, Crist will go into the game more focused and in a better state of mind. And should things go wrong, Crist knows he has players around him who he can rely on to move the offense. "Whenever he needs me, Taylor or any other running back, we'll be there for him," Pierson said. "He told me to just go out there and have fun and loosen up."

TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN Edited by Ethan Padway GOLI Team regroups after loss, focuses on short game TREVOR GRAFF tgraff@kansan.com Academy. Kansas men's golf finished 12th at the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational at Eisenhower Golf Course on the campus of the US Air Force. Caitlin Chris Gilbert led the layhawks on day one with scores of 76 and 72, finishing the day tied for 36th after playing the first six holes seven over pat. "He made a couple bad swings, a couple bad decisions and wasn't in very good shape," head coach Jamie Bermel said. "But he played really solid over the last 30 holes." Gilbert wasn't the only Jayhawk SOCCER who suffered a slow start on day one. "It was just a terrible start overall." Bermel said. "We brought it back a little bit in the second round, but we were just way too sloppy around the greens. There are a lot of putts on this course that you have to really pay attention to." The Jayhawks' lack of experience with the course also may have contributed to their slow start. Most of the team was playing at Eisenhower Golf Course for the first time in Saturday's practice rounds. "You have to know where the mountains are, because everything slopes away from the mountains," Bermel said. "If you're heading down hill on the green away from the mountain, the putts are really fast. Sometimes that's hard to figure out." Bermel said the high altitude made finding the correct yardages difficult for players on all squads. For the layhawks, preparing for tomorrow's final round yardages are key. "We have to do a better job of getting the yardages down and trusting that the ball is going to fly that far in this thin air," Bermel said. Dylan McClure finished the day tied for 40th with a two-round total of 140. Stan Gautier and Alex Gutesha followed, twining for 48th M. V. K. McClure led the Jayhawks on with scores of 151. Bryce Brown completed the Kansas lineup tying for 57th with a score of 152. McClure day two with a final round score of 71, one under par at Eisenhower. He finished tied for 23rd with a tournament total of 220 on a course that featured tough pin placements. "The course was a bit harder on day two." Bermel said. "The pins were tougher, and that's why the scores weren't quite as low as day one" The Jayhawks struggled on the greens and in gauging yardages in the altitude of the Rocky Mountains. "We certainly need to putt the ball much better." Bermel said. "Each guy needs to have a better idea of how far each club in his bag goes, because our ball control is not very good. Even with the altitude it's not very good." Chris Gilbert finished the final round with a score of 75 tied for 41st. Bryce Brown finished tied for 49th with a final round with a 75. Stan Gautier and Alex Gutesha struggled in final round action. Gautier finished tied for 59th with a 77. Gutesha finished 63rd with a final round 78. The Jayhawks will focus on the short game as they prepare for next week's Golfweek Conference challenge in Burlington, Iowa. "It all starts everyday in practice," Bermel said. "We have to work hard out there and get in the weight room and push ourselves so we can see results. They have to realize that 12th place is not OK, and 12th place is not where we're going to finish and be happy about it."

After a scoreless first half, the Jayhawks tied the game in the second half 1-1. NICOLE EVANS nevans@kansan.com Speed, precision and consistent playing helped junior forward and midfielder Caroline Kastor earn the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in her career after leading the jayhawks to achieve two victories last weekend. Kastor, a junior from Wichita, found the back of the net twice playing against Missouri State last Fridav. She then repeated the same feat on Sunday against a strong and physical North Carolina State, scoring two of Kansas' three goals, which pushed the Jayhawks to victory. She also notched her second assist of the season against Missouri State after threading a cross-over to sophomore forward Jamie Fletcher and was named the Player of the Game. Kastor's performance remained solid in both games, capitalizing on opportunities and creating scoring chances that helped Kansas improve its record to 6-1-1. "I feel really honored to have gotten that, and honestly it says a lot about our team and the weekend that we had!" Kasher said. I could do it without them, and I'm just proud of our team." Kastor also credits her teammates for helping her get pumped "The Rock Chalk chant always gives me chills," Kastor said. Kastor during pregame warm-ups by listening to music beforehand and practicing as a unit, which helps keep Kastor's mind away from distractions. One song in particular always helps her stay focused while a challenging opponent awaits the team on the pitch. ALEXIS The Wichita native has played soccer since she was three and a half years old, practically since she could walk. Not only has she played soccer Playing such a demand- all her life, but Kastor has also played every position on the pitch. Starting out as a defender, Kastor made her way through the various positions until she decided to play the power forward position. ing position only has helped Kastor's enthusiasm for the sport continue to grow. I'm playing, and it is just a big part of me; it just comes really natural to me," said Kastor. "[Playing soccer] allows me to have fun and just run around and be a little spastic." "I feel really comfortable when The results of her positive and genuine excitement to play the game show through in the record books. Kastor leads the team with 16 points this season, attaining seven goals — three of which were game winners — and two assists. She has great promise to continue increasing her tally with 17 shots on goal recorded. As the team hosts Denver this Friday at 5 p.m. and faces opponents from the big 12 conference in the upcoming weeks, Kastor's powerful shot and speed will be needed. And she has no plans of stopping. "You can always get better, so I just want to maintain that level of play and it do again on Friday," Kastor said. Edited by Christy Khamphilay JSTE/KANSAS 5 POSTE/KANSAN itterson.

INTERNATIONAL Stevens, 52, and three other Americans were killed when he and a group of embassy employees went to the consulate to try to evacuate staff as the building came under attack by a mob armed with guns and rocket propelled grenades. TOM PEALE ASSOCIATED PRESS Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton listens as President Barack Obama speaks on the death of Christopher Steven, U.S. ambassador to Libya, on Wednesday in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. Obama addresses death of ambassador ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama vowed Wednesday the United States would "work with the Libyan government to bring justice" those who killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in an attack on the consulate in Beghazi. "Make no mistake, Justice will be done," he said in a Rose Garden appearance at the White House. Obama, who ordered an increase in security at U.S. facilities overseas, said he "condemns in the strongest possible terms the outrageous and shocking" attack. He spoke after Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney also condemned the attack but criticized the administration for its initial response to a separate incident on Tuesday, the breach of the U.S. embassy in Cairo. The president spoke with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at his side as the deaths in Libya quickly roiled the U.S. political campaign, now in its final seven weeks. Stevens is the first U.S. ambassador to be killed in an attack since 1979, when Ambassador Adolph Dubs was killed in Afghanistan. The State Department identified one of the other Americans killed Tuesday as Sean Smith, a foreign service information management officer. The identities of the others were being withheld pending no- Biden made no reference to Romnev's criticism. Vice President Joe Biden, campaigning in Dayton, Ohio, said there is "no place in the civilized world" for the attacks and reinforced Obama's vow to bring the killers to justice. absolutely no justification for this type of senseless violence, none." The U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a warning to all Americans in Cairo early Tuesday morning that it expected there would be demonstrations in the general neighborhood of the embassy. When it became clear later in the day that there would be a demonstration outside the embassy, it issued the statement referenced by Romney. Romney's criticism appeared limited to an initial statement issued the previous day by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. He said it was "akin to an apology," and that said as president, Obama bears responsibility for it. "They clearly sent mixed messages for the world," he said of the administration. That statement said that the embassy "condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions" The statement was issued before protesters breached the embassy. The White House said Obanna was informed Tuesday night that Stevens was not accounted for and was notified Wednesday morning that he had been killed. tification of next of kin. In a written statement earlier Wednesday, Obama called Stevens a "courageous and exemplary representative of the United States." The four Americans, he said, "exemplified America's commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe."

Foreign Ministry official Josefina Vidal also rejected allegations by the wife of 63-year-old Maryland native Alan Gross that her husband's health is failing after more than 21/2 years in custody. "Cuba reiterates its willingness to talk with the United States government to find a solution in the case of Mr. Gross and continues to await an answer," Vidal, who heads the ministry's Office of North American Affairs, said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. She gave no details. It was the first time a Cuban official has hinted that a specific proposal has been made and indicated that the ball was in Washington's court. President Raul Castro's government have raised the case of five Cuban agents sentenced to long jail terms in the United States, though they have not spelled out publicly that they are seeking an exchange. Previously, senior officials in This two-picture comic handout file photo provided by Peter Kahn, the attorney, of imprisoned American Alan Gross, shows Goss in 2009 and in 2012. U. S. officials say privately, however, that Havana has made it increasingly clear they want a quid pro quo, something Washington has repeatedly rejected. Jared Genser, a Washington-based attorney for the Gross family, said in a telephone interview he knows of no active proposal that the Cuban government has put forward for his client's release. He said American officials had long made clear to the Cubans that trading Gross for the Cuban agents is a nonstarter. "My definition of a proposal is something that is specific and actionable," he said. Genser challenged Vidal to publicly name a date, time and location where the Cuban government would be willing to meet with U.S. officials to negotiate a release. Gross's wife, Judy, traveled to Cuba and visited her husband in custody several times last week. She said upon her return to the United States that she feared he would not survive his ordeal. AFRICA Somalian president survives assassination attempt MOGADISHU. Somalia — MOHAMED HACOY SOMALIA Somali's new president survived an assassination attempt on his second day in office when two suicide bombers blew themselves up Wednesday while trying to gain access into a heavily guarded hotel that is his temporary residence, officials and witnesses said. The attack highlights the challenge that insecurity caused by an Islamist insurgency poses to Somalia's fledgling government, which is expected to help transform the east African country from being a failed state to one with functioning government. The African Union Mission for Somalia said one of its soldiers was killed when the two suicide attackers attempted to penetrate the Jazeera Hotel where the President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Kenya's foreign minister were giving a news conference. Associated Press The two suicide bombers set off explosions after they were shot by soldiers guarding the Jazera Hotel, while another was intercepted and shot dead as he attempted to scale the walls of the hotel's compound, the African Union Mission for Somalia, known as Amisom, said in a statement. Witnesses say at least one more person was killed, bringing the total death toll to a minimum of five, including the three attackers. Al-Shabab, a radical Islamist militia that is affiliated with al-Qaida and waging an insurgency against the Somali government, quickly claimed responsibility for the attack. Al-Shabab had opposed Mohamud's election, saying it had been manipulated by Western powers. African Union forces are helping the Somali government fight al-Shabab, which the U.S. has designated as a terrorist group. The president, who was elected by Parliament on Monday, was undeterred by the explosions and continued to speak to the media, AMISOM said. EUROPE Bootleg alcohol kills at least four Czechs PRAGUE. Czech Republic — At least 19 people are dead and 24 others hospitalized. Some of them have been blinded, while others have been induced into comas in the hope that doctors can save them. All had drunk cheap vodka and rum laced with methanol, a toxic substance used to stretch alcohol on the black market and guarantee high profits for manufacturers. The Czech Republic announced emergency measures Wednesday as the death toll from the methanol poisoning mounted, including two women aged 28 and 21. Kiosks and markets were banned from selling spirits with more than 30 percent alcohol content and police raided outlets nationwide. At 410 sites, they found 70 cases of illegal alcohol. Prime Minister Pet Necas called on all Czechs to refrain from drinking "any alcohol whose origin is uncertain" but authorities still feared the death toll will rise further. Little is officially known about the culprits other than that they work in the country's depressed northeast, a former heartland of industry under communism. The Moravian-Silesian region near the border with Poland has unemployment about 50 percent higher than the national average of 8.3 percent. Of the 16 confirmed dead in the Czech Republic, eight lived in the region; two others died in neighboring Poland and one more in Slovakia. Senior police official Vaclav Kucera said all the poisoning cases so far are likely connected and two suspects have been arrested — one in the eastern city of Zlin and another in the northeastern city of Havirov. The first two fatalities were announced Sept. 6 in Havirov. Methanol is mainly used for industrial purposes but unscrupulous criminal networks sometimes misuse it to illegally produce cheap liquor because it's cheap and impossible to distinguish from real drinking alcohol. Despite the current tragedy, such outbreaks have been rare in Europe. In Serbia, 43 people died in 1998 from illegally-made plum brandy and a man was sentenced to 12 years in jail. ASSOCIATED PRESS Doctors try to save the life a 65-year-old man poisoned by methyl alcohol (methanol) in the hospital of the Czech town of Pribram. At least four more people have died in the Czech Republic after drinking bootleigh alcohol. EAGLE GAMEDAYS START HERE. KU GAMEDAYS START HERE.

The event, at the museum in Dyche Hall at 5 p.m., is called "Sexy Science," and it kicks off the fall lineup of new events. For ages 18 and older, the event includes "Condom Olympics," where students compete to properly put condoms on models while blindfolded or wearing beer goggles. Visitors can also look forward to a museum-wide scavenger hunt, refreshments and prizes including t-shirts, water bottles and condoms. "Sexy Science focuses on the suggestive side of natural history," said Kitty Steffens, visitor services and events coordinator for the museum. "It will help students look at science in an exciting and different way." Chris Wildgen, a senior from Lawrence, works at the museum and hopes "Sexy Science" will stimulate students' interest in the museum. "It's edgy," Wildgen said. "The sexual nature of the event entices the college demographic to explore the museum and learn about science." The museum is always free for students, but Wilddog thinks many have never seen its attractions. Some of the highlights: the world's largest fossilized Masasaur — a prehistoric marine lizard — 12 live snakes and a tricaratops skull. A jackrabbit with tiny antlers, commonly known as the mythical jackalope, sits in its own display. display. This semester, the museum is tripling the number of events it sponsors and is staying open until 8:30 p.m. on Thursday to appeal to students and the community. "Sexy Science" is cosponsored with the student-run Peer Health Education group, which hopes to push safe sex education in a fun atmosphere. Museum visitors Thursday night will find information about proper use of different types of contraceptives. They'll also see a demonstration of the strength of condoms that involves filling one with oranges. "If you use contraceptives correctly, they can be very effective," said Ken Sarber, public health educator at the University and an organizer of the event. Sarber said improper use reduces the effectiveness rate of condoms by 15 percent. "It's a very fun way to learn about sexual health and safety," Sarber said.

"In the opera chorus there were about 65 people, and 14 of them were American singers," Mikenna said. "The rest were a mixture of people from Bulgaria, Germany, Poland, Sweden and Korea." "I auditioned because I wanted to have the music experience of playing in a different country and getting to meet other musicians from around the world," Mellier said. "It was the Meiller, a junior from Normin, Okla., had a free day at least once a week. He travelled to Berlin and small cities and beaches near Eutin. The festival spanned from June 15 to Aug. 20. Students rehearsed in Eutin for two weeks before the concerts and operas - "Nabucco," "L'elisir d'amore" and "Die Blume von Hawaii" - began. Mikenna and the rest of the chorus rehearsed nine hours each day, but the instrumentalists, like French horn player Stephen Meiller, had time to travel. Neely explained the importance of music students playing in festivals and concerts, either in the U.S. or abroad, during the summer months. He said that in Eutin, students were able to learn the differences between European and American instruments and how to act professionally during a performance. They also were exposed to new perspectives on music. first time I've been in Europe. I enjoyed getting to travel around and explore the different cities" "It's unwise to stop playing," he said. "They need to stay active and network with new teachers, get different points of view and have new experiences" "I thought it would be nice to invite him over to conduct," Neely said. "This is a pretty rare thing. It's pretty special." Neely went to Eutin for the last week of the festival. He conducted a concert alongside the German organizer to show the cooperation between the sister cities. Neely also invited the conductor to travel to Lawrence this spring and participate in a concert.

I was busy enough trying to get used to writing in cursive and reading books without pictures to notice what was trending in the world of fourth grade fashion. I was still wearing crew socks when everyone else switched to those risqué no-show ankle socks. I danced light-up sneakers rather than those wacky Styrofoam gardening shoes.

It's just a picture of me, in a field, wearing a hat. That's irrelevant, but the point is, I didn't watch the freaking video and it didn't change my freaking life. Nevertheless, I was intrigued by the mass attention it drew and did some research of my own. So I found what everyone else would soon discover: Invisible Children is possibly just an awareness campaign. It turns out that the people don't like to see their donations go towards manufacturing cheap wristbands and T-shirts instead of fighting a warlord and saving children.

RESIDENCE HALLS Webber is a freshman majoring in journalism and political science from Prairie Village. Follow him on Twitter @webbemz@webbemz.com Campus Quidditch tournament @webbgemz. By Chris Ouyang couyang@kansan.com A year ago, quidditch took this campus by storm. In the interest of full disclosure, I should tell you that I have never read a Harry Potter book nor have I ever seen a Harry Potter movie. I am that holdout you all know, kind of like the kid that still doesn't have a Facebook. That being said, I hold on so that I have a fun fact to share during ice breakers. Hi, my name is Chris and I have never read a Harry Potter book nor have I ever seen a Harry Potter Movie. But don't worry I do have a Facebook. What have I really missed out on? Oh, you've seen the latest Harry Potter movie? Don't you love what Potter did with the musical score during the title screen? Wait. Harry Potter is not the director of the movies? Well, don't you love the last Harry Potter novel? Don't you enjoy Potter's grandiose conclusion to his epic series? No way. Harry Potter is not the author of the books? OK, so I am not that unaware. I know who J.K. Rowling is. What I am is ignorant and I get that. I don't know much about the Harry Potter universe. I grew up thinking that Harry Potter was from the devil and that if I read the books, I would one day try to cast curses and poke scary vooookd dolls with needles. It wasn't my parent's fault. They are awesome. But I will let you say what you want to say because I know it already — my childhood was ruined by my childhood. I am late to the Harry Potter party. Not two hours late, when everyone with swag shows up. Fifteen years late. Despite this, I can't help but think there is still hope for me. That hope is quidditch. By "hope," I mean that I have heard of quidditch. By "heard of," I mean that everyone will not stop talking about quidditch. Quidditch is so often spoken of that I'm positive there is some kind of hidden J.K. Rowling conspiracy out there to keep her books relevant. I am sure you all have heard of quidditch as well. If you have not, I guess I can end your struggle and explain what I know, which is very little. Basically, quidditch is a sport inspired by a fictional sport from the Harry Potter series. Athletes put a broom between their legs and run around in rugby fashion and throw balls like dodgall. Google will help you describe the game. But, how to actually play is an entirely different story. I actually look forward to the day that quidditch is a ubiquitous term. Does anyone have to explain the game of basketball every time someone says "basketball!" The very need to explain quidditch is clear indication that I am not the only ignorant person who has room to learn more about it. I am trying to further educate myself, but it's not going so well. I tried reading the Wikipedia page. I tried reading the official rules on the international Quidditch Association website. But, I don't understand much of the vocabulary, and the Wikipedia page keeps making it seem as if people actually fly on brooms. I'm sure they don't. We all get annoyed by that person who complains about something but does nothing to change the problem. The only thing worse is a person who complains about something they don't understand. You know, that girl who screams at the referee's correct false start call. You know, that guy who still thinks President Obama was born in Indonesia. Don't be that girl. Don't be that guy. Get outside and watch quidditch with me so we can all be less ignorant. Here is my plan. It is so simple. If you did not already know, a quidditch tournament between every residence hall will be held on Sunday, Sep. 16 at 11 a.m. behind Robinson Hall on Sunnyside Avenue on the field affectionately known as "the cage," because it is partially surrounded by a fence. Each residence hall will field a team and the winner will have legitimate bragging rights. I am tired of hearing about quidditch and not knowing what's going on. I am actually going to take opportunity to watch people play quidditch. Live. In person. On the field. Maybe I will even learn to play. According to Samy Mousa, who is hosting the tournament, if you aren't in one of the residence halls, you can still play.

ON-CAMPUS LETTER TO THE EDITOR The Kansan hit the nail on the head with its Tuesday headline, "Civilization Falls." Eliminating the HWC requirement does more than interrupt a seven-decade tradition, it undercuts the value of a degree from the University of Kansas. 21st century Americans must understand what events happened, why these happened, and what past people have thought as they coped with a world and shaped it. Understanding the present and planning the future require some familiarity with the past. What HWC provided here at Kansas for so long was a surprisingly interdisciplinary examination of a surprisingly broad "western" world. The Greeks were there, but so were the Founding Fathers and WEB Du Bois. Paul's Christian letters stood beside the Koran. Dostoevsky wrestled with internal struggle while Locke considered conflict between men (then only men) and government; Rousseau and Marx, respectively, challenged the notion that such conflicts exist. Virginia Woolf and Sigmund Freud probed the mind and the human experience, and came to different conclusions. The conclusions, the paths and the context, all mattered then and now. KU, like other schools in the U.S., took a fresh look at humanities in the wake of World War II. Industrial slaughter, systematic persecutions, genocide, and advancing destructive technology convinced American intellectuals that something could be done, and must be done, to stave off another such calamity. Informed young minds, using historical context and cultivated reason, could make a better future. KU understood this in 1945, inaugurating its HWC tradition. If HWC ceases to stand as a requirement, it is because the university, not the world, has fundamentally changed. Maintaining HWC as an "optional" class, as now stands, completely misses the point. The perspective offered through HWC provides a foundation. And a foundation is universally necessary before anyone can think clearly or build anything. And thinking and building are exactly what the University of Kansas stands for. Dr. Nick Sambakul Scholar of U.S. and military history at Weatherford College in Texas.

Berexco is trying for research porous. The process of using CO2 to create high pressures for oil drilling is a formation specifie science. The KGS is testing Kansas oil formations with a nickel much like the one near Liberal, Kan., to decide if they can handle these methods structurally. In their work with Berexco, KGS is investigating the infrastructure of the Abuuckie formation by collecting scientific data and taking those core samples of the rock in the formation. Once data is collected, it is entered into a computer simulator that allows the group to make models that predict the movement of sequestered CO2 pumped lumps this formation. GRAPHIC BY TREVOR GRAFF To many western Kansans, sites like the Berecox rig site 25 miles northwest of Liberal, Kan. aren't unusual. Thanks to a research partnership between Bereco, the Department of Energy and the Kansas Geological Survey, it could be one of the first sites used for carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in the state. The drilling of the 7,500-foot well in Cutter field began Aug. 1. The research group, lead by KGS geologists Lynn Watney and Jason Rush, is attempting to investigate the use of CO2 in enhanced drilling practices and the storage of CO2 in underground saline reservoirs. University of Kansas graduate student Christa Jackson is a member of the team working to collect this data. Jackson said she mixes the test samples with reservoir core fluids and submits them to temperatures near 50 degrees Celsius "Regardless of where the CO2 comes from, our perspective is to get ready for the large-scale use of CO2 for the oil fields as well as examining the saline aquifers for storage," Watney said. "This would be very useful should we have caps on emissions from sources like power plants and ethanol plants that could be taken from the atmosphere and stored." and pressures between 2,000 and 2,500 psi. "I'm looking for what kind of reactions will take place," Jackson said. "By mixing the core fluids and the rock together and by adding the CO2 to these experiments, we can see what minerals dissolve and what minerals precipitate." Jackson said the goal in her work is to make sure that CO2 doesn't breach the field. The DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory provided nearly $21.5 million for the project. The remaining funds come from a cost-share agreement among the KGS and its partners in the energy industry. "What the DOE is, in effect, saying is today we may not need to dispose of CO2 because the economic and political considerations don't exist," Wreath said. "But that may happen in the future. What we're going to do now, when we have some time to figure it out properly is basic research to see if the deep Arbuckle formation in Kansas is a safe place to dispose of CO2."

The performers also have duties outside of the festival season Peterson said the Conservatory is an academy teaching everything from a British accent, to interacting with patrons, to staying in and developing characters. Two Kansas students, Elizabeth Ernst and Erika O'Shea, have made their way through the academy and are now festival royalty. Ernst, princess Eitz of England, has been visiting the festival for seven years and has taken a liking to her newfound royal blood. whether it be casting, auditioning or attending acting classes through the Canterbury Conservatory. "It's a very good opportunity to step out of other responsibilities "I do believe my favorite part about being a princess is seeing the look in the little children's eyes as we crown them," O'Shea said. "They get to join us in all of our games, and playing with them is the most marvelous thing." According to O'Shea, princess Thea of Denmark, she has been royalty all her life but a temporary resident of Canterbury for three seasons. as well as instruct others on proper manners and discourse. for awhile and make people happy," she said.

ATIVE L & ER COM KUALBREAKS CAMPUS SUA to host cooking classes at the union EMMA LEGAULT editor@kansan.com Wednesdays at the Union just got a lot more flavorful. The Student Union Association will be hosting free cooking demonstrations every Wednesday at 3 p.m. in the fourth floor lobby until Oct. 3. These events will feature experienced cooks from the University and Lawrence area. "We want to educate students about how to eat healthy and about culinary options they may not have heard of before," said Kelsey Ball, culinary coordinator of the SUA. This week's demo featured Nancy O'Connor and Lily Siebert from The Merc Community Market and Deli, a locally owned natural food cooperative, and Kevin Roberts, "The Food Dude." In addition to owning four restaurants and two cookbooks, Roberts is the host of the TLC television show "BBQ Pitmasters" and was a contender on "The Next Food Network Star." O'Connor and Siebert showed attendees how to prepare red quinoa salad with black beans, avocados and a simple salad dressing, as well as a "simple and yummy" kale salad. They offered samples of two of The Merc's products — grilled zucchini mix with Mediterranean couscous and cilantro-marinated tofu. Roberts prepared his breakfast bagel sandwich for the crowd, as well as an innovative way to cook "I was poor as a college student, so I had to get creative with my techniques," Roberts said during Wednesday's presentation. eggs using only a mug, plastic spoon and a microwave. Many students can relate to Roberts' situation. Both demonstrations highlighted the convenience of making the recipes without the need of a full kitchen. "You could make this in your dorm and eat it for days," O'Connor said about the kale salad. In addition to their recipes, O'Connor, Siebert and Roberts offered students tips on snacking, cooking techniques and nutritional facts. After the demonstrations, samples of each dish were served. "It went really well. There were lots of students and the instructors were very informative and receptive to the event," Ball said. Students were drawn to the event for reasons beyond the free food. Dustin Pickett, a sophomore, was first introduced to The Merc a year ago, and he said the demonstration was an educational opportunity for him. "I learned how to use the food they sell there to make meals more flavorful," Pickett said. Freshman Annie Matheis said she found the event informative and helpful. "It taught me that there are healthy options available in college and to have a good diet while I'm staying here," Matheis said. "There are healthier options that are affordable for student living." Roberts' demonstration of how to "nuke" an egg was popular with the student crowd. PAGE 7A "You can basically make scrambled eggs in the microwave. It's taking cooking to a whole new level," sophomore Subba Upadhyayula said of the technique. "I was actually texting my roommate about it while he was making it," said Danny Sanchez, a junior. "I'm not the cook in the house, so I learned recipes I can tell my roommates to make." Ball said the SUA moved the event from the Impromptu Café, where it was held last semester to the fourth floor lobby in order to attract more students like Sanchez. "I was actually strolling through the Union and saw the sign for it and stopped by," Sanchez said. "It was a good show." Ball said, "We want to educate students about different kinds of food and open their minds to things they didn't know about."

Roberts demonstrated quick, simple, healthy and tasty alternatives to fast foods while on a college budget. NEOSHO COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE Close & Convenient! visit us online or in person 900 E. Logan Ottawa, KS 785-242-2067 www.neosho.edu ASSOCIATED PRESS CRIME "坡！ Bank robbers throw money to thwart police ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Suspected bank robbers fleeing county sheriff's deputies hurled cash from a speeding SUV on Wednesday, drawing people into the streets until a pickup blocked their path and they had to surrender. Bank robbery suspects throw money from their vehicle during a police pursuit Wednesday in Los Angeles, in an attempt to draw out people and block police in pursuit. The vehicle was eventually blocked by another vehicle and the suspects were arrested. In a bizarre scene followed by TV helicopters, a large crowd pressed in as deputies with guns drawn pulled two men from the SUV in South Los Angeles. City police came to their aid and formed skirmish lines to move the crowd back. Along the pursuit's route, people were seen scooping up the money. Police Department spokesman Cmdr. Andrew Smith said it appeared the suspects threw the "A lot of people came out their houses, they saw this on TV, they saw that money was being thrown," Smith told KNBC-TV. "I think one of the folks told me that they thought there was more money in the vehicle and maybe they were hoping to get a little bit of that." Smith said. Several hundred people gathered around the deputies during the dangerous moment of arrest. money in hopes of drawing people into the roadway to block the pursuing patrol cars. One officer had a foot run over during the incident but was expected to be OK, he said. The robbers fled south by freeway and en route two robbers bailouted out of the SUV in the Sylar area of the San Fernando Valley. One suspect was taken into custody there Wednesday afternoon but the other remained at large. The incident began 35 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles in the suburban Santa Clarita area where four men committed an armed bank robbery, Los Angeles County sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker told KCAL-TV. The SUV pursuit continued into downtown Los Angeles where the SUV exited the freeway and began a circuitous route through the older, narrow streets of the city's central and southern areas. The 90-minute chase came to an end when a big, heavy duty pickup made a right turn from a side street and blocked the SUV's path. It was not clear whether that driver did so intentionally.

MUSIC California band staying busy LYNDSEY HAVENS lhavens@kansan.com Dead Winter Carpenters, a California-native band, will be performing their second album release in Lawrence at the Bottleneck next Monday, Sept. 17. The band released their second album in May, titled "Ain't it Strange." When asked how this album compared to the first time around, singer/guitarist Jesse Dunn felt that "overall we kinda created our own sound. When we were working on our first album, we had only been together as a band for about 4 or 5 months. We had a bunch of songs but hadn't played together that long." Dunn felt that as a group not only has their sound grown over the past couple of years, but their songwriting has, too. Dead Winter Carpenters is an unlikely name for a California band, but Dunn explained that the group is from Lake Tahoe, a ski-industry town that gets "lots of snow and cold temps." The five-piece band consists of Dunn on guitar/vocals, Venn Charles on fiddle/vocals, Sean Duerr on guitar/vocals, Dave Lockhart on upright bass and Ryan Davis on drums. The band collectively agrees on Old Crow Medicine Show as a leading influence, along with Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Neil Young and Nirvana. The group has kept extremely busy playing several shows and festivals this year. Dunn mentioned High Sierra Music Festival as one of his personal favorites. "We've played there the past two years; it's fantastic." The band also played at String Cheese Incident's Horn- ing's Hideout, along with others. When asked where he would play if given the opportunity to play at any festival — anywhere at all — Dunn said, "Coachella, if you're trying to go popular." This October, the band will play at Railroad Earth's Hangtown Halloween Ball in California. Delta Spirit and Blind Pilot will play the festival as well. "It's beneficial for smaller bands like us to play with bands like them," Dunn said. "It gets you more exposure from many different outlets from all over, especially social media. Were excited about it, not only to play with them but to see them play." - Edited by Sarah McCabe KEEPING THE HAWKS ROLLING SINCE 1974 Don's Auto Center Inc.

Endlessly imitated but never once equaled, the film that birthed an icon has received a glorious high-def restoration that can be seen this Saturday as part of AMC's "Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures," an exhibition meant to promote the series' Sept. 18 Blu-ray debut. Fear not though, Indy purists. Unlike series co-creator George Lucas, Spielberg is not using this re-release as an opportunity to fix what isn't broken. The serpents in the Well of Souls aren't blinking CGI stand-ins, Indy still shoots the marketplace swordsmans and the villainous Belloq (Paul Freeman) doesn't exclaim, "NOOO!" as he opens the Ark of the Covenant and feels his skin begin to liquevy. When I caught "Raiders" during its brief IMAX run, the only technical differences I saw were a vastly improved picture and a fully remastered, crystal clear soundtrack. Parts of the film looked as if they could have been shot yesterday. The majority of the matte paintings and practical effects have held up remarkably well. Harrison Ford seems almost impossibly young and dashing in his first turn as Dr. Jones, blending bare-knuckled aggression with a bookish charm that seems entirely appropriate given the character's second home in academia. He's also surprisingly idealistic with his "It belongs in a museum" mantra and implicit faith that the U.S. government actually plans on letting his university keep the Ark after witnessing its power. The rest of the cast is uniformly excellent. Karen Allen exudes feisty sensuality as Marion Ravenwood, a consummate foil the sequels would later try and fail to imitate. Here was a woman who could drink hard and fight dirty without sacrificing her Something else that struck me was the fluid, breakneck editing courtesy of Michael Kahn and an uncredited Lucas. There's literally no fat on this film. Every chunk of expository dialogue is succinct, cleverly written and, perhaps most crucially, relayed while our heroes are in motion, fighting or fleeing their dogged Nazi pursuers. femininity in the process. She remains so much more than another pat love interest. Other acting highlights include John Rhys-Davis as the jocular Egyptian excavator Sallah and Ronald Lacey as a ghoulish Gestapo interrogator. The violence, including decapitations and exploding heads, still feels jarring within the context of the PG rating. There are no narrative gimcracks or dated pop culture references, just a simple story well told. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a film that was made to feel timeless, and that's exactly what it has become. ★★★★ Edited by Lauren Shelly Robot partners with ex-con LANDON MCDONALD imcdonald@kansan.com Funny and touching without resorting to weepy sentiment, "Robot and Frank" might also be the first film to qualify as domestic science fiction. Jake Schreier's Sundance winner is a slight, soulful exercise that dares to imagine the future not as some bombed-out hellscape but rather as a familiar gloss on our present, complete with robot servants and marginally advanced Skyping technology. The film's real strength, though, lies in the casting of Frank Langella, who brings cantankerous charm to a comedy that defyly comments on the subjects of age and memory loss. FRANK LANGELLA JAMES MARSDEN UV TYLER and SUSAN SARANDON "Sly and delightfully, deliciously unimportant... Frank Langelp is impeccable" WINNER DIRECTOR BIGA ROBOT & FRANK FRIENDSHIP DOESN'T HAVE AN OFF SWITCH. Ex-con Frank (Langella) is a man literally going through the motions. Recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's, his daily routine has dissolved into an aimless shamble: first to the library to pitch woo at sweet Jennifer (Susan Sarandon), then off to filch decorative soaps from the store that replaced his favorite restaurant. His adult son Hunter (James Marsden), grudgingly devoted to the father who neglected him growing up, decides that Frank could use a helper. One arrives in the form of Robot, a plastic fantastic robo-butler voiced with deadpan wit by Peter Sarsgaard. At first the old man has nothing but contempt for his shiny new babysitter. My favorite exchange, after the nutrition-minded Robot throws out all the Fruit Loops: "Frank, that cereal is for children. Enjoy this grapefruit." Frank sneers, fumbling for words until coming up with the optimal retort. "You're for children!" Tensions ease after Frank discovers Robot's untapped talents as a safecracker with a conveniently erasable memory and decides to resume his career as a jewel thief, a profession he says once found him rappelling down the walls of a casino during a hurricane. The new partners' target is Jake (Jeremy Strong), an insufferable yuppie seeking to turn Jennifer's Hibachi Grill UPREME BUFFET 140 Iowa Suite 10 518-829-3876 $2 OFF 2 Adult Buffets with drinks Lunch/Dinner BEST BUFFET IN LAWRENCE! 10% OFF Buffet plus drinks with this coupon HAPPY HOUR MON. - TUE. $5.99 BUFFET $4 OFF 4 Adult Buffets with drinks Lunch/Dinner 10% OFF library into a kitsch museum for the printed word. Their plan is complicated by the arrival of Frank's daughter Madison (Liv Tyler), who doesn't want her father becoming dependent on any machine. "Robot & Frank" simply wouldn't work without Langella, a true master of his craft who only seems to improve with age. His portrayal avoids making Frank too doddering or loveable, a choice that bolsters the film's surprisingly poignant third act. His presence also seems to bring out the best in Tyler and Marsden, both of whom turn in first-rate performances as Frank's offspring-turned-caretakers. And special mention must be made of Robot, played by Rachael Ma in a body suit inspired by the real-life Honda ASIMO. Schreier, a filmmaker/musician whose band Francis and the Lights also provides the film's agreeably retro score, has made an art-house crowd-pleaser that doesn't skate by on style or schmaltz. I honestly can't wait to see where he goes from here. But he would do well to bring Langella. ★★★☆ — Edited by Ryan McCarthy ISAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN se PAGE 9A She re another ing high- Davis as监护 Sal ghoulish decapita- still feels of the PG in gimature refer well told. *i* "i" is a film, teleless, and decoome. ★ auren Shelly on CROSSWORD 9 AND THE GIRLS ROBERT LAMS JACKSON museum for your plan is com- pared of Frank's v Tyler), who ever becoming machine. unply wouldn't a, a true mass- only seems to His portrayal too dodder- voice that bolingly poignant also seems it in Tyler and whom turn in faces as Frank's retakers.

Crist hasn't been awful. But he hasn't been great, either, throwing for 313 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions against South Dakota State and Rice. The running game, on the other hand, has been one of the better units in the country, currently 27th in the nation with 493 total yards. Newcomer Taylor Cox and sophomore Tony Pierson have led the way for Kansas with four combined touchdowns. "There wasn't too much negative you could say about them," Coach Charlie Weis said of Cox and Pierson after two games. The efficient running game is a must, but it can't be the only consistent force for the Kansas offense, not with the two easiest games on the schedule out of the way and one of the best defensive coaches in the country — TCU's Gary Patterson — coming to town on Saturday. Crist admitted he tried too hard in his first two games in a Kansas uniform. Weis said Crist doesn't have to try and "save the world" out there. And while a glance at the schedule would be enough of an excuse to try and do exactly that, it does no good for this Kansas team. Running the ball effectively, eating up time of possession and playing the passing game off that is the best recipe for whatever success Kansas can find this season. "Any great, winning offense is going to have a solid running game, and it's awesome we've got that," Crist said Tuesday. "Now we've got to build on the passing game." Weis said there's no need for Crist to feel he needs to do more than he's capable of. "The passing game has a lot of room for improvement, and it better come along in a hurry because the better your opponents are each week, you're going to need to score more than 24 points," Weis said Tuesday. "You can get it into the 20's when you run the ball like we are, but you need more production out of the passing game." "I'm going to feed the ball to the running backs a whole bunch of times anyway," Weis said. "And even if they stop them I'm still going to feed the ball to the running backs. We just need to be much more efficient when we do throw the ball." With a defense as suspect as Kansas' final scores in the 20s won't cut it in this year's Big 12 against teams like TCU, Kansas State, West Virginia and Oklahoma. And while the running game has been good, expecting more than 30 points on the ground each week is a losing bet. Weis is right. Edited by Sarah McCabe PAGE 6B & 7B Gameday Volleyball hits the road TCU VS. KANSAS PAGE 2B O-LINE RIGHTING THE SHIP The offensive line looks for answers after lackluster performances in first two games of the year 34 ASHLFIGH LFF/KANSAN Junior linebacker Huldon Tharpe takes down his opponent from South Dakota State University during Sept. 1 game at Memorial Stadium where the Jayhawks won 31-17. Tharo had six tackles during the game. BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com For the Kansas offensive line, it comes down to simple math: Six is greater than two. Yet when trying to piece together a core group of linean, having men on the left with a combined six years of starting experience and men on the right with two, it creates a tricker problem than basic arithmetic can solve. It's a situation no Kansas coach can cheat their way around. "It is what it is, and we've got what we got," said Kansas offensive line coach Tim Grunhard. "We're going to go with the people we have and make them the best they can possibly be." Even with three seniors on the offensive line, the inexperience on the right side of the line has caused coach Charlie Weis to alter his game plans while right tackle Gavin Howard and right guard Aslam Sterling continue to develop. In the season opener against South Dakota State, Weis called the majority of his run plays to the left side of the field — specifically citing the experience on that side of the line as the cause. While running back Taylor Cox scored a 47-yard touchdown on a called run to the right, the limitations of the linemen effectively cut the field in half for the Jayhawks run game. Grunhard said the only way to make up for the lack of experience that Sterling and Howard have is to play them and coach on the fly. But those guys on the left, seniors Tanner Hawkinson and Duane Zlatikn, aren't leaving the younger lineman out to dry — and that's not including the "Traffic Cop," senior center Treyron Marrongelli. serving as both strategic and mental coaches for the younger guvs. "He's the director," Grunhard said of Marrongelli. "He tells where the guards are going and where the tackles are going. He tries to keep the guys going the right way." When Marrongelli isn't directing traffic, it's Hawkinson and Zlatnik who help Howard and Sterling navigate through games, At the same time, Weis is judging the offensive line as a whole group and not giving any slack to "You always want to make the play, but sometimes you're going to get beat," Hawkinson said. "When you're a younger player you can dwell on that too much. You just have to realize that play is over and move on." the guys on the right. Howard and Sterling are held to the same standards as the seniors. Grunhard said it's causing Howard and Sterling to take larger strides in their development. Hawkinson and Grunhard agree that it's almost harder to coach linemen in practice than it is in games given the difference in atmosphere. However, there are techniques that can smooth out linemen without wasting a Saturday — and Howard and Sterling have been taking advantage of them all. "It's hard to simulate what happens out there on the game field," Hawkinson said. "You just have to get into watching film, going over plays and taking every rep in practice like it's a game." Edited by Stéphane Roque SOCCER Jayhawks look to extend win streak MARY JOAN NICOLE EVANS nevans@kansan.com Coming off one of their best games of the season, the Jayhawks hope to improve on their impressive six-game unbeaten streak before moving into conference play after facing the Denver Pioneers this Friday. Kansas took down the Missouri State Bears last Friday evening. The match ended in a score of 4-1 despite Kansas not playing the best they have all year. The game proved to be an offense-driven game for Kansas, however, finding three different players to score for them. Senior forward Whitney Berry shoots during the first half of the game against Eastern Illinois. Berry scored three goals during the match and Kansas defeated Eastern Illinois 9-0. TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN Junior forward/midfielder Caroline Kastor snagged two goals, flying past the Bear's defensive units to find the back of the net. Sophomore forward Jamie Fletcher found the net early on in the game, scoring off a pass from Kastor in the 7th minute. Freshman forward Ashley Williams continued to be scoring presence for the Jayhawks after she capitalized on a penalty kick in the 64th minute. Senior forward/midfielder Whitney Berry scored first, starting the hard-fought match off to what eventually would finalize as a 3-2 victory in favor of the lajhawks. The game proved to be one of the best-played games of the season for the team. That win improved the lajhawks to a 6-1-1 record for the season and increased their unbeaten streak to six games. They plan to use the momentum against a strong Denver team this Friday. Kastor's offensive prowess pushed Kansas to victory Sunday against the Wolfpack of NC State, scoring twice in the match, including the game-clenching goal in the 59th minute. However, credit must be given to Kansas' defensive stamina as well, as that helped the team hold on to the one point lead until the match was over. "I think we did a good job of dictating the game, so we need to keep doing that," head coach Mark Francis said. "I challenged them to perform at a little bit of a higher level. I think we've been pretty consistent, but can we take it up to the next notch, take it up a gear? That's what I want them to do." The Denver Pioneers are on a win streak of their own, coming out victorious in their past four games, bringing their record to 5-1-1. The team just hosted the DU Invitational, at which they moved past Colorado and UC Irvine to win. This year Kansas also hosted a tournament, the Kansas Invitational, at which they won by beating out UNLV and Georgia ["NC State] came in with a five-game winning streak, but I think we had a good performance, and now we just have to keep playing at that level and not drop out," Francis said. While the Pioneers are coming off a good tournament victory, Kansas has started a habit of ending opponents' winning streaks, and the Jayhawks don't plan to stop their own win-steak with Denver. The Pioneers are quite talented offensively, scoring four goals in each of the two games before playing against Kansas. With a strong midfield that likes to create chances off of corners, Kansas will have to work defensively to ensure that the midfield is shut down. Kansas has a strong midfield of their own, however, and plenty of players to use against such a like-minded team. "Denver's off to a great start this year, and we're familiar with them, so I think it's going to be a great game," Francis said. "They try to play the same style of soccer that we do, and I think the midfield is going to be the battle; whoever controls the midfield will control the game." Kansas may be coming off their best game of the season, but Denver may prove to be one of The Jayhawks will host a promising match against the Pioneers this Friday at 5 p.m., at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. "Our goal isn't only to win, but to keep getting better each game," Kastor said. the most equal opponents in style and level of play so far this year. The team has worked hard during practice this week, focusing all of its energies for the only game this weekend before jumping into conference play. - Edited by Sarah McCabe PAGE 2B THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Jayhawks prepare for next road tournament 3 21 TRAVIS YOUNG/KANS Senior middle blocker Taylor Tolefree jumps up to block her opponents hit from Wyoming on Saturday in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. BENEF DUMLER/KANSAN Junior defensive specialist Brianne Riley returns the ball during the match against the Wyoming Cowgirls on Saturday night Kansas defeated the Wyoming Cowgirls 3-0 sets scoring 25-13, 25-21, and 25-18. TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com Senior middle blocker Tayler Toilefree is planning to play Loyola Marymount like a game of one-on-one. It's not the standard strategy in a volleyball match. But when the Kansas volleyball team goes to South Bend, Ind., this weekend for the Golden Dome Invitational, they expect to see an isolation game from Marymount, one familiar style of play among three unfamiliar opponents. The Jayhawks open the tournament Friday against Loyola Marymount University, a team that likes to create one-on-one matchups, much like Wyoming, a team Kansas beat last weekend. "Loyola tries to play pretty fast," Tolefree said. "So we're just working on everybody handling their own hitter, assuming that you're by yourself." The Jayhawks lead the Big 12 with 16.2 digs per set, 15 kills per set, 14.1 digs per set, and a .281 hitting percentage. Junior libero Brianne Riley leads the conference individually with 5.7 digs per set, junior setter Erin McNorton leads with 12.5 assists per set, and red-shirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc leads with a .468 hitting percentage. Although none of those statistics guarantee victories, they show Kansas' balance through the season's first 10 matches. That and its efficiency will be important this weekend, coach Ray Bechard said, because Loyola Marymount uses a two-letter system and aggressive serving to increase the match's pace. He said a hallmark of coach Tom Black's teams at Marymount is an ability to wait for opponents to beat themselves with errors. "Coach Black did some time with USA Volleyball, helping with their serving strategies before they went to the Olympics," Bechard said. "And they're in every match because they don't make a lot of mistakes. They're just waiting for you to have an off-stretch in a set, and they're going to be trouble." Kansas played three tournaments so far, and all of them were two-day tournaments. This weekend, the Jayhawks have only one match a day; Marymount on Friday, Xavier Saturday and Notre Dame Sunday, giving them more time in between matches than usual. Riley said the extra time in between matches would actually help the Jayhawks, as will playing "I think it's good for us to get out of our little sanctuary in here." Riley said. "I think our team could use a little bit of rest so hopefully we can use that to our advantage." Bechard said fatigue added to the need for rest. After four weeks of tournaments, the three-day tournament would help his team be ready physically and mentally for all three matches, he said. on the road for the first time in eight matches. "That'll be good, especially as you get in this deep" he said. "The wear and tear starts to show a little bit" After Loyola Marymount, the Jayhawks face Xavier on Saturday and Notre Dame on Sunday. Xavier went 21-11 in 2011 and finished second in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Notre Dame is the Jayhawks' third major-conference opponent of the preconference season. Tolefree said the Jayhawks are unfamiliar with both of those teams, and that the team that can adjust better will probably win the match. How fast can we adjust to what system they throw at us, and how can we figure out how to run our system against them and figure out what works?" Tolefree said. Bechard said he scheduled a tough non-conference schedule on purpose, so his team wouldn't wilt when conference play began. But he also said his team can't hang their hat on their 9-1 record. “You will be able to look back once conference starts and say, 'Hey, we played a plenty tough—enough pre-conference schedule,' but we've got to have success in these last four matches, too," Bechard said. "To this point, nine out of 10% not bad, but the real work lies ahead right now over the next four matches before conference start."

Mo. — The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has put all athletic programs at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas on probation through 2014 for "violations involving inelegible players." COLLEGE University spokesman Stephen Prue declined to comment immediately Wednesday, saying the school was drafting a statement. In May, the school announced investigations by the university and the Department of Educa Haskell on athletic probation ASSOCIATED PRESS Haskell is part of the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference. The conference's commissioner, Al Waller, said he knew few details about what happened. tion into claims that two student-athletes had falsified ACT scores dating back to 2008. It was not immediately clear if the NAIA's action was related to those allegations. The investigations resulted in "official action on the employees and students involved" and the discovery that three other students' transcripts were manipulated, the university said in a news release at the time. Two employees involved no longer work at Haskell, the release said, and some games were to be forfeited. The release also noted that changes had been made to the school's database and admission process. Nedra Darling, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which overseas Haskell, didn't immediately return a phone message Wednesday seeking comment. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Education said the agency was looking into the matter and couldn't immediately comment. According to the NAIA hand-book, the use of ineligible students leads to the forfeiture of "all contests in which the ineligible student participated." Athletes also lose at least one season of eligibility. Institutions placed on probation also must submit a written response detailing the corrective measures they plan to take. Future violations can lead to the suspension of programs, a move that would bar them from postseason play, the handbook says.

A: 2007, when they lost to the Colts 29-17. — ESPN.com - THE MORNING BREW Big moment for tennis player at US Open MURRAY WINS HIS FIRST By Drew Harms dharms@kansan.com Andy Murray is on a roll after winning the gold at the London Olympics last month and now winning the U.S. Open. With legendary actor Sean Connery in attendance on Monday, Murray beat Novak Djokovic in five sets to achieve his first U.S. Open title. Murray had fallen short five previous times in the U.S. Open final but outlasted the tough Djokovic to get the title. Murray won the gold medal in the Men's singles at the London Olympics last month, as he beat out Roger Federer 6-2, 6-1, 6-4. Murray also beat Djokovic in the semifinals of the Olympic Games. Murray has always had trouble beating the game's top players, but winning the Olympics and U.S. Open will give his confidence a much-needed boost. Murray is currently ranked No. 3 in the world, according to the ATP ranking, right behind Federer at No. 1 and Djokovic at No. 2. If Murray's success continues he will likely move up in the ATP rankings, but it will take beating the big dogs Federer and Djokovic more than once as they are both proven winners. Murray's 2012 statistics include two single titles and an overall singles record of 40-11. In the past the media has criticized Murray's play, believing he will never get to that elite level, but this has changed with his recent success. Murray is young, healthy and ready to not only play against the top tennis players but beat them. He has only been a professional tennis player for five years and feels like he has much to improve in his game. The next goal on Murray's list has to be winning Wimbledon, and he has a great chance. Roger Federer is aging, Rafael Nadal When asked about his future, Murray said, "If I was to stop playing tennis now, I'd retire very happy, but I've hopefully got five more years or so at the top of the game. That's what I try and do, if I can stay healthy and look after my body. That's my plan." Only 25 years old, Murray has tremendous upside and is optimistic that he'll be one of the top tennis players in the world for years to come. Tonight the Chicago Bears take on the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau field. This heated rivalry will certainly feature an intense, physical game with both teams loaded with firepower. The Bears and Packers both believe that they are one of the best teams in the league this year. The Bears won their first game last Sunday 41-21 over a rebuilding Indianapolis Colts team. Quarterback Jay Cutler throw for 333 yards and 2 touchdowns. Cutler and big-time receiver Brandon Marshall were in rhythm as well, with Marshall catching nine passes for 119 yards RFARS-PACKERS PREVIEW and a touchdown. The Bears' rookie receiver Alshon Jeffery displayed his big-play ability, catching a 42-yard touchdown from Cutler. The Bears have always featured a great overall team but have continually lacked a big-time receiver. Look for the Bears offense to roll this year as they are set at receiver and have one of the game's best running backs in Matt Forte. Forte had 80 yards and a touch-down against the Colts. The Bears rushing attack also features Michael Bush, who adds a physical presence and can contribute when Forte needs a breather. These two running backs will provide the Bears with a dominant ground game and will prove capable to catch passes out of the backfield. Then there's the Bears' pride and joy, its defense. Players such as Brian Urlacher, Julius Pepper, Lance Briggs and company look to cause havoc to Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rogers and the Packers' pass-heavy offense. The Packers didn't look to be on par in week one, losing to the San Francisco 49ers 22-30. This wasn't an amazing display of offense by the 49ers; rather the Packers defense not really showing up to play. The Packers secondary blew multiple coverages which allowed for the 49ers' receivers to be wide open for much of the game. The Packers must improve their defense as the Bears feature a quarterback who throws great deep balls and has one of the league's best receivers in Marshall. On offense I look for the Packers to try to run the ball more in tonight's game. On Sunday Aaron Rodgers was the leading rusher with 27 yards. Cedric Benson had 18 yards as the Packers' starting running back. This is unacceptable even for the league's best passing offense. They have to be able to run the ball with success in order to set up screens, the play action pass and big plays. The 49ers played most of the game in man-to-man coverage with deep safeties as if they were daring the Packers to run. When Rogers was asked about the Packers offensive struggles, he said, "We didn't have the opportunity to take a lot of shots downfield, but when we did, they made some plays on it." Look for Rodgers and the passing attack to bounce back tonight with more big plays, more precise routes by the receivers and better decisions by Rodgers. As for the running game, I don't expect much, but the Packers did win the Super Bowl in 2010 with a primarily passing team. Look for this game to be one of the most exciting, down-to-the-wire games of the season thus far. The Packers' fans will be loud and intense tonight as they do not want to see their team fall to 0-2. The atmosphere will be rocking at Lambeau, as this matchup has all the signs of a future playoff game.

The once highly-touted quarterback has completed 33 of 64 passes for just 313 yards — an average of five yards per completion. Crist has also been easily flushed out of the pocket and forced into bad throws. Fortunately for the Jayhawks, tailbacks Taylor Cox and Tony Pierson have each racked up two 100-yard rushing games to pad Kansas' total yard count. Pos.

TCU comes to Lawrence for the first time since a 17-10 Jayhawk victory in 1997. Ranked #16 in the nation, the Horned Frogs should put up more points than the last time they faced the Jayhawks. PLAYER TO WATCH With running back James Sims set to return from his suspension as soon as the fourth quarter ends on Saturday, this will most likely be the last week of the Tony Pierson show. Sims' addition to the depth chart will create a three-back scenario in which Pierson, Sims and Taylor Cox fight for touches. The speedy Pierson has received 20 carries per game this season, totaling 244 yards and two touchdowns. When Sims returns those numbers will decrease, but not because of Pierson's skills. Charlie Weis has gotten his first taste of defeat in Lawrence and hounded the team in the locker room directly after because of it. Weis has wanted to change the culture of losing connected with Kansas football since he took the job. His opportunity may have come much sooner than expected, but the Jayhawks have responded well from a loss to then face a ranked opponent in the past. After losing to North Dakota State in the 2010 season opener, Kansas rallied to beat #15 Georgia Tech a week later. Weis has an opportunity to do the same. MOMENTUM The Jawhawks were fifteen minutes away from a 2-0 record and may have let up too early on Rice. Finishing has been a problem for Kansas in recent seasons and has transferred over to the Charlie Weis era. Now back at square one, a win against TCU would mean much more than a loss to Rice. COACHING KANSAS 1-1(0-0) QUESTION MARKS What happened to Kansas in the fourth quarter against Rice and will it happen again? The Jayhawks were cruising toward victory until they began to coast to the finish line. It's clear if the Jayhawks play at anything less than 100 percent every snap they won't win, so will they? Can this Kansas team keep its head up? And can Dayne Crist settle down enough to make big plays? Averaging five yards per pass won't light up too many defenses — especially not TCU. SPECIAL TEAMS Sophomore kicker Nick Prolago relieved junior Ron Doherty of his kickoff duties against Rice and has stayed on the depth chart for TCU. Coach Charlie Weis has been looking for a kicker to replace Doherty since the season began, and it is likely to see Prolago keeping the job until a better option comes along.

DEFENSE TCU's shutout win over Grambling State forces Charlie Weis to spend a lot of time planning on how his offense will move the ball against TCU after struggling to do so last week against Rice. Junior safety Elisha Olabace is a ball hawk and showed that last week when he picked off Grambling State quarterback D.J. Williams for a 28-yard touchdown. TCU's defense is dangerous when it comes to interceptions, as three of its last four picks have gone for touchdowns. | Pos. | NAME | No. | Year | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | LE | Stansly Maponga | 90 | Jr. | | DT | Davion Pierson | 57 | Fr. | | DT | Jon Lewis | 98 | So. | | RE | Devonte Fields | 95 | Fr. | | MLB | Paul Dawson | 47 | So. | | SLB | Kenny Gain | 51 | Sr. | | CB | Jason Verrett | 2 | Jr. | | CB | Kevin White | 25 | So. | | FS | Elisha Olabade | 6 | Jr. | | SS | Sam Carter | 17 | So. | | WS | Jonathan Anderson | 41 | So. | | P | Ethan Perry | 37 | Fr. | SPECIAL TEAMS TCU has a young core of players on special teams but have some standout players. Coach Charlie Weis described freshman punt returner Deante' Gray as a "home run hitter." Gray took a punt back 70 yards for the first touchdown of the game this past week against Grambling State. The Horned Frogs have Jaden Oberkrom, also a freshman, who handled kickoffs and extra-point attempts last week. Oberkrom did not attempt a field goal other than an extra point, but he made a 61-yard field goal during fall camp and a 60-yard field goal in high school. TCU may consider long-range field goals on fourth down. Can TCU avoid turning the ball over against Kansas? QUESTION MARKS The Jayhawks have created eight turnovers in two games so far this season, the most of any team in the Big 12, but can they keep up the defensive pressure? Even though Kansas let Rice steal a win at Memorial Stadium, Coach Gary Patterson won't take the Jayhawks lightly, but will his team be fully prepared to take care of the football against the pesky Jayhawk defensive unit? BY THE NUMBERS ? 8 Seasons with at least 10 wins in the last 10 years 78 wins by TCU, compared to two losses, when allowing 18 or fewer points under Gary Patterson PLAYER TO WATCH Junior wide receiver Josh Boyce was defined as a "front-line wide receiver" by Charlie Weis during Tuesday's press conference. Boyce caught four passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns last week. He has 17 receiving touchdowns as a Horned Frog, tied for most in school history. The Jayhawks' defense must apply double-coverage on Boyce in order to limit him and slow down TCU's hot offense. Teams normally find that they have a few things to work on after their first game of the season. But for the Horned Frogs, they were perfect on both sides of the ball to start the season. Junior quarterback Casey Pachall and backman backup quarterback Trevone Boykin connected with all of their targets on all 17 total pass attempts. TCU's defense pitched a shutout against Grambling State. AT A GLANCE MOMENTUM COMPOST SALE TCU has a nine-game winning streak riding on its shoulders coming into Lawrence. In 24 of the last 27 games for the Horned Frogs, they have scored at least 30 points per game. Their offense has challenged several defenses by scoring a lot of points. If the Jayhawks want a shot at TCU, they will have to play at their level in terms of scoring. COACHING Since 2000, Gary Patterson has coached the Horned Frogs to a 110-30 record. Before being named head coach, Patterson was the defensive coordinator for TCU for three seasons under the direction of former TCU coach Dennis Franchione. Patterson has ties to the state of Kansas as he coached the linebackers at Pitt. State in 1988. He was also a graduate assistant for Kansas State in 1982 after playing for them for two years. - Edited by Stéphane Roque 1420 E 11th St., Lawrence (east of 11th & Haskell Ave., over railroad tracks) YOU LOAD Saturday, Sept. 15th 8 am to 4 pm SELF LOAD ONLY WE LOAD Saturday, Sept. 29th 8 am to 4 pm City will load pickup trucks and small trailers.

What Patterson did this week was point out on film the many mistakes they made in a 56-0 victory against overmatched FCS team Grambling State (0-2). ASSOCIATED PRESS "Is it they really played well or the other guy played real bad? FORT WORTH, Texas Everything seemed to go so right for No. 16 TCU in its season opener. TCU not overlooking any opponent in Big 12 opener Two quarterbacks combined to complete all 17 passes they threw, four for touchdowns, while the Horned Frogs rolled up 531 total yards without a turnover. Their defense even scored a touchdown while allowing only 70 total yards in a lopsided shutout victory to inaugurate their completely redone stadium. And the Frogs did all of that while playing 12 true freshmen, twice as many as coach Gary Patterson had ever used before in an entire season. Redshirt freshman quarterback Trevone Boykin played the entire second half. We've got to put everything in reality," Patterson said. "For us, we watch film, is that what we see what we coach. Not necessarily was that the case Saturday night, but we'll take it." Patterson also had another way to get their attention, a fresh reminder of what happened to fellow Big 12 team Oklahoma State. The Cowboys opened their season with an 84-0 victory over Savannah State, then were ranked 18th when they lost by three touchdowns on the road at Arizona. "We've got to go get ready to play," Patterson said. "You better get better and you better keep everything in perspective. It's plain and simple." TCU, whose nine-game winning streak is the longest in FBS, plays its first Big 12 conference game Saturday at Kansas (1-1). "We expect nothing less than what we did last week. That's the mindset we're going to have coming into the game," said quarterback Casey Pachall, who was 9-of-10. 9 passing for 201 yards and three TDs playing only the first half in the opener. "We're not going to lack in focus or anything because we're going to come out with high intensity and ready to play" "The challenge is not to lose focus, don't get too hyped up about last week," senior linebacker Kenny Cain said. "Last week was last week." Then again, that kind of attitude can be expected from a second-year starter who was also part of the team when the Horned Frogs completed a 13-0 season two years ago with a victory in the Rose Bowl. This is easily the youngest team for Patterson, who with his 110th victory last weekend passed Dutch Meyer to become the winningest coach in TCU history. TCU has also won 24 consecutive conference games, but all of those were in the Mountain West while winning that league's title the last three years.

Pay attention to fantasy football news throughout the days leading up to Sunday to ensure your players will be active for their respective games. Week one of the fantasy football season is officially in the books, and if there is one thing I have learned about this strategic game in my seven years playing it, it's that a matchup is never over until the last second ticks off on Monday night. My heartbreaking 1.74 point defeat last week is evidence. One would think a 17-point lead heading into Monday night's game, with only a kicker going for the other team would be a comfortable position to be in for an opening week "W" in fantasy. Nope. San Diego kicker Nate Kaeding put my opponent on his back and carried, rather kicked his way to an improbable come-from-behind win, putting me in an early 0-1 hole and wondering how everything fell apart at the last minute. I'm sure everyone has similar sob stories, and believe me, I've played enough fantasy football to know that kickers are easily capable of 20-point plus performances.The lesson here is keep the overconfidence to a minimum, no matter how much you are up on your opponent heading into the final NFL games of the weekend. Enough of my week one lamenting, let's get to this week's very first "startem/sitem" post. START'EM Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins QB If you've paid any attention to the opening weekend of the NFL, you'd know that RG3 put up an incredible fantasy point total for a rookie starting his first game. 320 yards and two passing touchdowns plus 40 yards rushing is a solid fantasy performance for any fantasy quarterback, let alone a rookie. Griffin isn't likely on the waiver wire after his breakout performance on Sunday, but I'd start him over the likes of Michael Vick, Tony Romo and both the Manning brothers. Don't let that scary Rams defense deter you from starting Griffin this weekend. C.I. Spiller, Buffalo Bills RB Bills' starting running back Fred Jackson confirmed what his fantasy owners had feared this whole off-season; he's fragile. After accumulating 15 yards in the first quarter, Jackson went down with an apparent knee injury. Word coming out of Buffalo is that Jackson should be back in 3-4 weeks, but in the meantime Spiller made the most of his opportunity, rushing for 169 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown scamper against an above-average New York Jets run defense. Start him with extreme confidence this week against Kansas City. Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts WR Thanks to Peyton Mannings absence last season, Wayne was a non-factor in the fantasy football realm. Anyone having Curtis Painter chucking passes their direction is likely to take a production hit, and Wayne was unfortunately in such a position. This season is different with the addition of number one overall draft pick quarterback Andrew Luck. Luck didn't look particularly impressive in his debut, but Wayne showed that he has plenty in the tank at age 34, as demonstrated by his 135-yard receiving effort in week one. Luck will progress throughout the year, and I fully expect Wayne to be the direct beneficiary of Luck's improvement. Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles QB SIT'EM Let me start by saying, if Vick is the only realistic starting quarterback on your roster, you have to roll with him. I'm operating under the pretenses that if you drafted Vick, like I did, you drafted some insurance for him in the later rounds. Vick faces a stout defense in Baltimore, and Ed Reed sure looked like his old self against the Bengals on Monday night. If the Ravens can contain A.J. Green, what do you think they'll do to the smaller and easily pushed around DeSean Jackson? With Jeremy Maclin in serious doubt to miss this weekend's game because of a hip injury, Vick simply doesn't have the offensive firepower to compete with the Ravens' secondary and safeties. Kevin Smith, Detroit Lions RB Smith almost single-handedly carried me to two victories in fantasy last weekend against a porous Rams' run defense. That will all change this Sunday when Smith squares off against what is arguable the best run defense in the past decade. No one runs for big games on the 49ers, and if Smith is to get any fantasy value, it will be through the air, not on the ground. Too risky for me, and there are plenty of other running backs facing much easier matchups that you could start in place of him. Mike Wallace, Pittsburgh Steelers WR Wallace went predictably high in fantasy drafts this year, and I am one of the fortunate owners to not roll the dice on him. Wallace is the prototypical "boom-or-bust" wide receiver. There are games he'll get you 28 fantasy points with long touchdowns and dazzling speed to go with it, but then there are the games where it appears as if Wallace isn't even on the field. - Edited by Ryan McCarthy NFL PREDICTIONS Padway's picks of the week By Ethan Padway epadway@kansan.com CHICAGO BEARS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS (-6): Everyone knows that the Packers strength lies in the passing game, and that the rest of the team, aside from Clay Matthews and his luscious, glorious, golden locks, really hasn't lived up to the level of greatness exhibited by Aaron Rodgers. Da Bears on the other hand started out slow but picked up their play in the second half, stomping a terrible Indianapolis Colts队. It's a short week, and with how bad the replacement of officials calls have been so far, there's no way either team will find much breathing room in this one. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (-2.5) @ CAROLINA PANTHERS No one would've thought each of these teams would open the season with losses. Maybe Cam Newton scammed Carolina fans into thinking he's better than he is, but more likely he's in a sophomore slump. And seeing that he couldn't spend more than one year at a single institution, I'm willing to venture that he doesn't have experience getting out of these slumps. Pick: New Orleans Saints KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ BUFFALO BILLS (-3) MINNESOTA VIKINGS(-1.5) @ INDIANAPOLIS COLTS Despite winning last week, Vikings fans should be very concerned that they let Blaine Gabbert put up 23 points and a 96.1 passer rating. Luck might be a rookie that threw three interceptions last week, but I still would rather have him starting than a Missouri graduate. I don't think either of these team's fan bases are too encouraged after they both allowed 40+ points in their season openers. This game probably will have significant implications as to the draft order this coming April. It's almost a shame this game is being played so early in the season, fans are being deprived of the hype that would surround a "Matt Barkley bowl" if these teams were to meet in December. Pick: Buffalo Bills Pick: Da Bears Pick: Indianapolis Colts could regain his status as the best unibrowed athlete by guiding the Ravens to the Super Bowl this season. BALTIMORE RAVENS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (-2.5) I have no idea how the Eagles are favored after Michael Vick threw four interceptions against the Cleveland Browns last week. Flacco became the nation's second most prominent unibrow after the emergence of Anthony Davis on the basketball scene. Flacco Pick: Baltimore Ravens MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: DENVER BRONCOS @ ATLANTA FALCONS (-3) Maybe ESPN gave credit to the wrong person when they professed their love for Tim Tebow last season. Perhaps the magic really belonged to Vice President of Football Operations John Elway. The last four seasons that Elway was officially involved with the team, they've made the playoffs-and won two Super Bowls. Pick: Denver Broncos - Edited by Ryan McCarthy ASSOCIATED PRESS Hubert a key part of K-state success COLLEGE FOOTBALL TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ NEW YORK GIANTS(-8.5) Kansas State's red-zone scoring formula was on display again Saturday, when Klein scored three touchdowns rushing — two of them from a yard out — in a 52-13 romp over the Hurricanes. The Giants became the first defending Super Bowl champion to lose in the NFL kickoff game since it became a yearly addition to the NFL slate in 2004. "I set my goal to get a thousand yards," Hubert said after the Miami game last weekend, never mentioning anything about scoring touchdowns. "That's what I'm going to do." Getting the Wildcats to that point, however, fell on the shoulders of Hubert. He doesn't get there all that often. While words like "shifty" and "elusive" tend to describe running backs of a similar stature, that's not necessarily the case with the Wildcats' junior ball carrier. Many of his yards come after first contact, and it's not uncommon for several defenders to gang up in bringing him down. Even in postgame news conferences, the scrum of TV cameras usually disbands from Hubert the moment that Klein steps to the podium. Hubert is left with his hands in his pockets, talking to a few reporters straggling behind the rest of the pack. "We give John a lot of grief," tight end Travis Tannahill said with a laugh. "He always runs the ball and always gets pushed out at the two or the one, and then, oh, let Collin get another QB sneak." He gets quite a bit of grief for that." The 5-foot-7 running back ran for 970 yards last season, but he rarely reached the end zone — hallowed ground belonging to quarterback Collin Klein, the quarterback-turned-battering ram who racked up 27 touchdowns rushing during the Wild-cats' 10-win season. Judging from his appearance on Saturday Night Live last spring, I'm not sure Giants quarterback Eli Manning is capable of showing emotion, but if he is, you can bet he doesn't want to start the season with back-to-back losses. Last season, Hubert had three 100-yard rushing games, and he already has two this season: He MANHATTAN, Kan. — When John Hubert scored on a 95-yard run in No. 15 Kansas State's season opener, nobody could blame him for chirping the moment ran for 152 yards in the opener against Missouri State, highlighted by the second-longest run in school history, and went for 106 yards against the Hurricanes. Pick: New England Patriots He'll try to make it three straight Saturday against North Texas. "He never stops," Klein said. "He runs extremely hard. Sometimes he'll bounce off two or three people and just keep motoring right along. He will punish you." Sounds a lot like Klein too. Hubert wasn't hotly recruited out of Waco, Texas. He showed up simply trying to make a name for himself, and wound up earning the startup job last season over Bryce Brown, the heavily touted Tennessee transfer who eventually left the program. "When you see John out there, running a guy over, stiff-arming a guy, that gets the team going a lot," Sexton said. "John's not a big guy, but he runs big. When you see John run a guy over who's twice his size that kind of gets the team's juice flowing." "The coaches have a lot of faith in him," Tannahill said. "Since he got here he's just been putting confidence in the coaches' eyes. They're the ones who make the call and obviously they see something in him that they don't from the other guys." The Cardinals haven't said who will start at quarterback this week, but they managed to reignite their preseason quarterback controversy after starter John Skelton went down. Honestly, it doesn't matter who starts for them, because neither one deserves to keep Tom Brady's Uggs warm, let alone play on the same field as Brady. Watching Hubert battle through much bigger players, powerful legs churning furiously, often inspires his teammates. Wide receiver Curry Sexton compared the momentum generated from Huber's carries to the adrenaline infusion the team experiences when defensive players get sacks.

The Bottleneck is located at 37 New Hampshire Street. By Dylan Derryberry dderryberry@kansan.com ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN They say Sunday is a day of rest. I don't really know who they are, but what do they know anyway? Sunday is like the forgotten little sister of the weekend family, and she deserves just as much love as Friday and Saturday. Rest up, but have a little fun as well. This weekend is the last home game for a while, so I understand that the combination of early-morning tailgating and late-night bar hopping could leave you a little worn out. So on Sunday, sleep past noon, stay in your sweats and soak up crappy reality TV for the day. That way when the sun sets, you're refreshed and ready to enjoy a little Sunday Funday action. Have you ever watched Jeopardy and sat screaming the answer at the TV in question form? Neither have I, but I have been known to have lengthy conversations about useless facts that serve no purpose other than late night banter. Worry not, I have found a use for all that useless knowledge. The Bottleneck has its weekly Smackdown every Sunday! Doors open at 8 p.m. for trivia night and it will put you against other pop-culture know-it-alls for a chance to win a cash prize. The bar is open to anyone 18 and older, so you don't need to worry about your younger friends. The entry fee is $5, which goes towards the first place prize, and it's $1.75 for draws and $2.50 for wells. At 11 p.m., following the knowledge knockout, the Bottleneck starts its karaoke night, where you can test your might on the microphone. Whether you're trying to impress a little lady with "Silly Love Songs" or embarrass yourself alongside your best bud belting out how you "Just Had Sex," the night is sure to be interesting. Cover is $3 for those underage and free for the 21 and up crowd. If you don't feel like batting with your brain or your voice, Lawrence has plenty of other options for your end-of-the-week amusement. For those who haven't gone bowling since their third grade birthday party, take it from this man-child: it's actually a lot of fun. Unfortunately, it can get pretty pricey. After paying for ugly shoe rentals, per-hour lane charges and the outrageously priced junk food at the snack bar, you can easily spend $30. This isn't the case at Royal Crest Lanes on a Sunday evening, though. Starting at 11 p.m., $5 gets you shoes and unlimited bowling until 1 a.m. and they usually have good deals on drinks. So grab a group of friends, split a pitcher of beer and go for the strike. I know going out the night before the school or work week can seem a bit daunting, and to some it may sound like an irresponsible idea, but give it a shot. If there's one thing I have learned from higher education, it's how to juggle late nights and lectures. Don't get too crazy, but get out this Sunday. Have some fun and learn the glory of Red Bull and coffee in the morning, my friends. — Edited by Lauren Shelly LarryvilleKU WEEKEND Lawrence's Pick & Plan Your Weekend with Fresh Finds From Our New Local Calender Chancellor discusses university's future NIKKI WENTLING nwentling@kansan.com In efforts to increase conversation and information sharing between the student body and University administration, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has agreed to a series of "Fireside Chats" with The University Daily Kansan to support a more direct line of communication.

PAGE 5 EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review OFF-CAMPUS LIVING TENANT TERROR Legal battles ensue between landlords and tenants over damage charges 11 12 NIKKI WENTLING nwentling@kansan.com By now, students have signed new leases and moved into new apartments. They pay rent to a new landlord, and should receive security deposits back from their old one. However, this is not the case for some students, like Blaine Criss, a senior from Salina. Criss recently received a bill of about $800 from The Grove, his previous apartment complex, for damages. Criss said some of the charges — mattress replacement, blind replacement, kitchen cleaning and carpet cleaning — were unfounded. Over the past two weeks, Criss sent five unanswered emails to the general manager, asking her to justify the total amount. Criss is not in an uncommon situation. "If I don't receive an email from the GM that signifies that she has recognized what I have complained about, they will not see a dime from me," Criss said. "It's outrageous." "I've been here 10 years, and we've seen more of that problem this year than in past years," Larzalere said. Bill Larazale, chief litigation attorney for Student Legal Services, said landlords have a 30-day cushion after a lease ends to return security deposits or send charges to previous tenants. Now, leases are completed, those 30 days have passed and students, more so than in previous years, have not received their deposits. I BELIEVE I CAN FLY NO SECURITY DEPOSIT, NO GOOD Larzalere said there is an increasing number of cases where students, like Criss, deal with landlords who did not charge security deposits. The lack of a security deposit allows the landlord to charge tenants for damages with no set limit. "That is a trend this year," Larzalere said. "We have lots and lots of people coming in about that." If tenants do not pay these additional charges, landlords could take them to small claims court or negatively affect their credit scores without going to court. Landlords also have the authority to try to collect the payment for the next five years. To fight these charges, Larzalere said to contact a lawyer to help with negotiations to lower the payment. To avoid this situation, Larzalere said to be cautious of leasing with a landlord who does not charge a security deposit. an additional 1.5 percent times the deposit. WITHHOLDING DEPOSITS Mandy Matney, a 2012 University graduate, did have a security deposit, but her landlord withheld a portion of it for damages. Matney and her three rommates lived in a house near Memorial Stadium owned by Big Blue Student Rentals. They had a combined $1,800 security deposit, and their landlords withheld about $600. "The house was absolutely disgusting when we moved in," Matney said. "I swear it was cleaner when we left. My roommates and I spent days cleaning because we wanted our security deposit back. It was completely unfair how much she took out." Tim and Tracy Coldsnow, who own and manage Big Blue Student Rentals properties, have rented houses to students for 23 years. Tim said that they do not have a history of withholding deposits. its is not something we've ever wanted to do or needed to do" Tim said. "In the past 20-some years that we've done this, we've probably returned on average 80 to 85 percent of deposits. When we do withhold a good amount of a deposit, it means their house was left filthy." According to the Kansas Residential Landlord & Tenant Act, if a landlord fails to return a security deposit, or if the deposit is wrongfully withheld, a tenant will receive the deposit back, plus "So, if you had a $400 deposit, you would get that $400 back, plus another $600," Larzalere said. To get the deposit back, a tenant must file a petition to go to small claims court, or have a lawyer write a demand letter to the landlord. Tim said he and his wife were taken to court once for withholding a deposit, and that it was a learning experience. we have, we have to be really professional about it, especially when dealing with students." Tim "To be in this for as long as SEE TENANT PAGE 8 Student Landlord Study Chancellor discusses University's future FIRESIDE CHATS In efforts to increase conversation and information sharing between the student body and University administration, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has agreed to a series of "Fireside Chats" with The University Daily Kansan to support a more direct line of communication. NIKKI WENTLING nwentling@kansan.com In the first "Fireside Chat" of the semester, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little met with The Kansan to discuss current campus issues, progress with Bold Aspirations and the outlook for the rest of the school year. U. S. News & World Report released the "Best Colleges 2013" rankings on Sept. 12. According to the report, the University is the top-ranked in Kansas. Overall, the University scored one point less than last year, moving its ranking from 46th to 51st among public universities. UNIVERSITY RANKING T. A. RABBIN teria pulled from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Classifications. The emphasis placed on certain criteria change The rankings are based on cri Gray-Little each year, and Gray-Little said the University would explore the changes to the criteria. "We certainly wish they had been higher," Gray-Little said. "We are looking at the ratings to see where the changes are and what elements might have been ranked lower than they were previously." One of the goals of the University's strategic plan, Bold Aspirations, is to have 21 graduate programs ranked in the top 10 of public universities. Twelve graduate programs ranked in the top 10 in the 2013 rankings. BOLD ASPIRATIONS Gray-Little said some goals of the Bold Aspirations plan would take up to 10 years to achieve. The University has worked on implementing programs to reinvigorate the undergraduate experience, such as a first-year seminar, the common book program and an office of undergraduate research. "Those are things that are underway and have started already" Gray-Little said. Gray-Little said although the goals of Bold Aspirations are broader than trying to improve SEE CHAT PAGE 8 ELECTION Leaders to speak at Dole Institute HANNAH BARLING hbarling@kansan.com This election season, students can talk politics with national experts from both parties — and from abroad. The Dole Institute of Politics will host weekly group discussions of elections campaigns, led by Nancy Dwight, a Republican strategist and Steve Hildebrand, a campaign manager for President Barack Obama in 2008. Other election season programming at the Dole Institute includes a presidential debate watch and a visit from Colombian President and KU alumnus Juan Manuel Santos. "If students are willing to participate, they can seek out knowledge from the frontline of the campaign." Clark said. Lexie Clark, coordinator of the Dole Institute of Politics Student Advisory Board, said the number of students involved in politics has remained consistent but the enthusiasm isn't the same. Celia Byrne, a sophomore from St. Paul, Minn., subscribes to Dole Institute emails about up coming events. Edited by Ian Cummings "Dole clearly offers great opportunities for students. There are a lot of big issues and it's important for students to have their voice heard," she said. "They don't know what's going on if they don't take the opportunities."

Presidential race still too close to call BENEATH AIRLINES VNT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney makes comments on the killing of U.S. embassy officials in Libya. WASHINGTON — Middle East violence is shaking up a presidential race that otherwise looks stubbornly stable, and tight. President Barack Obama holds a tiny edge, Republican Mitt Romney is seeking a breakthrough message, and three debates are ahead in the campaign's final seven weeks. President Barack Obama, accompanied by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaks during a Transfer of Remains Ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., marking the return of the four Americans killed. ASSOCIATED PRESS Republicans and Democrats agree the election probably will be decided on Obama's jobs-and-economy record. Both campaigns are gearing up for the new week by trying to shift the focus back to that issue. But foreign policy leaped to the forefront in recent days when protesters attacked U.S. diplomats and missions in the Middle East, and it's unclear when it will recede. Criticisms of Romney's quickdraw response to the protests underscored both his foreign policy vulnerabilities and the difficulty in knocking off an incumbent, especially one who remains relatively well-liked despite a struggling economy. Obama used the trappings of the presidency to full advantage. He led somber events honoring the four U.S. officials killed in Libya. He also needed his challenger by saying that Romney "seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later." As unrest abroad continues. "They want to go back to the same old policies that got us in trouble in the first place," former President Bill Clinton is shown saying in the 60-second TV ad. Obama is launching an aggressive effort to convince voters in the most competitive states — Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, and Virginia — that his economic policies are working and that Romney is risking the nation's recovery with a plan that caters to multimillionaires over the middle class. Romney is trying to get back to the economy, his strength, even as a new national survey by The New York Times and CBS News finds that he has lost his long-standing edge on the question of whom voters view as most likely to restore the economy and create jobs. Voters are feeling slightly more optimistic that the president's policies are helping. Still, that poll and others found the race narrowly divided. "Beating an incumbent is never easy," Romney told ABC on Friday. He dismissed polls that show Obama ahead. "I'm doing well ... and this is a campaign which I think will come into focus as the debates occur." Frustration is showing in some GOP circles because Romney has failed to move ahead Obama despite months of highlighting the nation's high jobless rate and the millions of dollars spent pushing an economic message on TV. Romney allies are urging him to find a message that will persuade distillusioned voters to give him a chance. They reject the notion that Romney is careening from topic to topic, despite recent emphases on Medicare and international leadership. The campaign's final seven weeks will dump new torrents of TV ads on the few competitive states, fueled by the eye-popping fundraising of Romney, Obama and their supporters. * POLICE REPORTS Information based on the Douglas County Sheriff's Office booking recap and KU Office of Public Safety crime reports.

A man is helping a woman lie on a bed. KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan police killed four American soldiers coming to their aid after a checkpoint attack Sunday, the third "insider" assault by government forces or insurgents disguised in military uniforms in as many days. ASSOCIATED PRESS The escalating violence — including a NATO airstrike that killed eight Afghan women and girls gathering firewood in a remote part of the country — strained the military partnership between Kabul and NATO as the U.S. begins to withdraw thousands of troops sent three years ago to rout the Taliban from southern strongholds. The surge in insider attacks is a sign of how security has deteriorated as NATO prepares its military exit from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. The U.S. is days away from completing the first stage of its own drawdown, withdrawing 33,000 troops that were part of a military surge three years ago. The U.S. will remain with about 68,000 troops at the end of September. So far this year, 51 international service members have died at the hands of Afghan soldiers or policemen or insurgents wearing their uniforms. At least 12 such attacks came in August alone, leaving 15 dead. NATO and U.S. forces are working with the Afghan government to tighten vetting procedures and increase security between the forces, but nothing has so far been able to stem the attacks on troops, which NATO frequently asserts are standing "shoulder by shoulder." The latest deaths make at least 247 American troops killed in Afghanistan so far this year. Nearly 2,000 American troops have been killed in the conflict since the 2001 invasion. EUROPE WORLD COAST REAM PUSSY Putin opposition still strong An opposition supporter carries a portrait of president Vladimir Putin in an apparent reference to the members of the punk band Pussy Riot, who were sentenced to two years in prison for performing an anti-Putin song on Saturday. ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW (AP) — The first major protest against President Vladimir Putin after a summer lull drew tens of thousands of people, determined to show opposition sentiment remains strong despite Kremlin efforts to muzzle dissent. The street protests broke out after a December parliamentary election won by Putin's party through what observers said was widespread fraud, and they grew in strength ahead of Putin's effectively unopposed election in March to a third presidential term. Huge rallies of more than 100,000 people even in bitter winter cold gave many protesters hope for democratic change. These hopes have waned, but opposition supporters appear ready to dig in for a long fight. "We have to defend the rights that we were deprived of, the right to have elections. We were deprived of honest elections and an honest government," opposition activist Alexander Shcherbakov said. "I've come to show that and to demonstrate that the people are opposed. I'm opposed to the illegitimate government and illegitimate elections." Leftists, liberals and nationalists mixed with students, teachers, gay activists and others as they marched down Moscow's treelined boulevards chanting "Russia without Putin!" and "We are the power here!" Many wore the white ribbons that have become the symbol of the protest movement. About 7,000 police officers stood guard along the route of the march, and a police helicopter hovered overhead. A protest rally, held on a wide street named for the late Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, remained peaceful as it stretched into the evening. As the 10 p.m. deadline neared, a couple of hundred people were still on the street and police herded them toward a subway station. One of the opposition leaders, Sergei Udaltsov, was detained along with a handful of his supporters when he tried to lead a group of about 50 on a new protest march. Putin has shown less tolerance for the opposition since his inauguration in May. New repressive laws have been passed to deter people from joining protests, and opposition leaders have been subject to searches and interrogations. In August, a court handed down two-year prison sentences to three members of the punk band Pussy Riot for performing an anti-Putin song inside Moscow's main cathedral. The Moscow organizers had spent days in tense talks with the city government over the protest route for Saturday, typical of the bargaining that has preceded each of the opposition marches. AFRICA South Sudan military sinks its own boat on Nile KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — An official says the South Sudanese military sank a boat carrying 170 of its own soldiers on the Nile river, killing at least 10, after mistaking them for enemy forces. South Sudan army spokesman Col. Philip Aguer said Sunday that soldiers opened fire after the military vessel failed to respond to repeated calls for it to stop Monday night. Most of the soldiers managed to swim ashore, he said,but 50 are still missing. The south became independent of the north last year. Ager said the South Sudanese government has launched an investigation into what happened, although he described the incident as "an accident." Relations between South Sudan and Sudan have been marked by tension stemming from disagreements over their common border and how to share oil revenues. NORTH AMERICA Slain bodies of 17 men found on drug cartel land Jalisco state prosecutor Tomas Coronado Olimos says the bodies were dumped by a highway in the town of Tizapan el Alto near the border between Jalisco and Michoacan states. Authorities discovered the bodies Sunday, while Mexicans celebrated Independence Day. JALISCO, Mexico (AP) — Mexican officials say the dismembered bodies of 17 stain men have been found on a farm in central Mexico, in an area disrupted by violent drug cartels. Coronado Olmos didn't reveal the identities of the slain but said the bodies were naked, mutilated and stacked with chains around their necks. The country's drug cartels have regularly left behind such grisly remains throughout the country as they battle for control of key trafficking routes and markets.

The palace has already launched a civil lawsuit against France's Closer magazine, which published the paparazzi snaps of Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, relaxing during a holiday at a private villa in Provence. The couple is hitting back hard against publication of the pictures, which William's office called a "grotesque" abuse of the young royals' privacy. A spokeswoman for William's St. James's Palace office said the couple's lawyers would file a complaint with French prosecutors on Monday against the unidentified photographer or photographers involved. "The complaint concerns the taking of photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge whilst on holiday and the publication of those photographs in breach of their privacy," she said on condition of anonymity in keeping with palace policy. The palace said it would be up to French prosecutors to decide whether to investigate and pursue a criminal complaint for breach of privacy or trespassing. The couple's lawyers are already due in a Paris court Monday seeking an injunction against Closer's publisher, the Italian media group Mondadori. It also publishes Italy's Chi gossip magazine, which says it will publish 26 pages of the images on Monday. The palace will seek damages from the publisher, which is owned by former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi. The palace said it was considering "all proportionate responses" against Chi, though no decision has been made on legal action against it or the Irish Daily Star which reproduced the Closer photos on Saturday. No British publication has run the pictures, and Britain's tabloids have lined up to denounce them as an invasion of the duchess' privacy. The strong response stands in contrast to the reception of naked photos of Prince Harry partying in Las Vegas, which appeared online last month and were later published in Britain's Suntabloid. The palace shrugged off the photos, snapped during a game of strip billards, and took no action against those who published them. Some see British papers' reluctance to run the Kate photos as a sign that the country's once-rambunctious tabloids have been cowed by a scandal over phone hacking and other wrongdoing, which brought public opprobrium and an ongoing media-ethics inquiry. The incident also has evoked memories of the paraparazzi hounding of William's late mother, Princess Diana. A coroner's inquest found that pursuing photographers were partly responsible for her death in a Paris car crash in August 1997. British company Northern and Shell, which co-owns the tabloid with Ireland's Independent News and Media, or INM, said it was "profoundly dismayed" the Dublin newspaper had run the pictures. Its chief, Richard Desmond, said he planned to pull out of the joint venture that runs the tabloid. In bad news for the Irish Daily Star, both its owners criticized it for publishing the Kate photos. Independent News and Media chief executive Joe Webb offered his "deepest apologies" and said the company would be "launching an internal inquiry to ensure there will never be a repeat of this breach of decency". But Webb said in a statement he hopes to preserve the Irish Daily Star and its 70 employees. In Italy, the newspaper La Repubblica — a longtime foe of Silvio Berlusconi — criticized Chi's decision to publish the photos, saying they were incompatible with his status as politician and statesman. The storm over the photos erupted as William and Kate made an official tour of Singapore, Malaysia and the South Pacific. They arrived in the Solomon Islands on Sunday and will end their trip Tuesday in the island nation of Tuvalu. Berlusconi's daughter Marina, who heads Mondadori, defended her father, saying he could not interfere with the publisher's "editorial autonomy."

SPORTS Today's Cryptoquip Clue: S equals T Boxing great wins humanitarian award ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Retired boxing champ Muhammad Ali was known as "The Greatest" inside the ring. But some say the moniker has been even more fitting in the years since he hung up his gloves. Ali came to Philadelphia on Thursday to receive the Liberty Medal for his longtime role as a heavyweight for humanitarian causes, civil rights and religious freedom. Among those celebrating his latest honor at the National Constitution Center were former NBA star Dikembe Mutombo and Joe Louis Barrow II, the son of boxer Joe Louis. "Knowing you since I was a little boy has given me a ringside seat to history," an emotional Barrow said. "But it's your character outside the ring that speaks to the hope of the least and lost among us." The 70-year-old Ali, hobbled by a 30-year battle with Parkinson's disease, did not speak. But he stood with assistance to receive the medal from his daughter Laila Ali. He looked down at his medal for several moments and then waved to the crowd. The award comes with a $100,000 cash prize. Ali was born Cassius Clay but changed his name after converting to Islam in the 1960s. He refused to serve in the Vietnam War because of his religious beliefs and was stripped of his heavyweight crown in 1967. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling later cleared him of a draft evasion conviction, and he regained the boxing title in 1974 and again 1978. "He changed my life," said Mutombo, who also is a trustee of the Constitution Center. "I can never forget how inspired I was to see a black athlete receive such respect and admiration. He changed how the people of Zaire saw themselves, and in turn how the world saw them." One of his most famous fights took place in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he battled George Foreman in the "Rumble in the Jungle" in 1974. Since ending his boxing career in 1981, Ali has traveled extensively on "You know, my father loves people and people love my father, and I learned that at a very young age, as people would always come up to him wherever we went," Lailia Ali said. "My father has always lived his life to make this world better for others." Ali received the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 2005. He also has established the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Research Center in Phoenix and a namesake educational and cultural institute in his hometown, Louisville, Ky. The National Constitution Center, which opened in 2003, is dedicated to increasing public understanding of the Constitution and the ideas and values it represents. It awards the Liberty Medal annually to a person who displays courage and conviction while striving to secure freedom for people around the world. Previous Liberty Medal recipients include rock singer and human rights activist Bono, former South African President Nelson Mandela and former President Jimmy Carter. Six winners later received Nobel Peace Prizes. Also presenting the honor to Ali on Thursday were U.S. Olympic athletes Claresa Shields and Susan Francia. Last month, the 17-year-old Shields became the first U.S. girl or woman to win a gold medal in boxing. Francia is a two-time rowing gold medalist from Abington, just north of Philadelphia. international charitable missions and devoted his time to social causes.

So says Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich), one of the trivia-spouting slashers from Wes Craven's 1925-1987 "Scream;" an incisive horror film that considered the cultural and psychological impact of visual media nearly three years before the Columbine Craven massacre made the topic inescapable. Now in the wake of the "Dark Knight Rises" theater shootings and the anti-American furor sweeping the Middle East as the result of one shoddlily produced YouTube video, the media incitement debate has returned, sporting fresh blood and a global wingspan. ASSOCIATED PRESS The issue stretches back as far as 1915, when D.W. Griffith's "brotherhood of a Nation," already controversial for its reisition portrait of the Ku Klux Klan, was accused of encouraging violence against African Americans by depicting the brutalization of a white woman by a sexcrazed Unim soldier in blackface. Griffith's historical epic, which went on to become a recruitment tool for the KKK, opened amidst vehement protests and was banned in a number of cities. Even as recently as 2004, threats of arson forced exhibitors to cancel a screening of the film in Los Angeles. A By Landon McDonald lmcdonald@kansan.com There are many examples of life imitating celluloid with dire acuity. Jodie Foster's performance as an underage prostitute in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" earned her the twisted affections of John Hinkley Jr., who non-fatally shot President Ronald Reagan in a bid to impress the actress. UNITED STATES MEMORIAL AUCTION Stanley Kubrick famously pushed for the banning of his own "A Clockwork Orange" in the United Kingdom, after the press blamed his film for a bizarre crime wave, including the murder of a homeless man by a gang of teenagers dressed as Alex DeLarge and his Droogs. Oliver Stone's thrill-kill romance "Natural James Holmes, accused of killing 12 people in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater, appears in district court with defense attorney Tamara Brady on Monday, July 23 in Centennial. Colo. Holmes identified himself as the Police to judge the shooting. Scorsese Kubrick Born Killers," itself a mordant commentary on our nation's love affair with violence, sparked a record number of copycat slayings. Then we have suspected Aurora shooter James Holmes, whose grip on reality was fractured to the point where he allegedly told police he was the loker. The current unrest in Libya and Egypt recalls the fate of Theo van Gogh, whose extremist-baiting short film "Submission" led to the Dutch filmmaker's grusome public execution by an Islamic fundamentalist in 2004. Now "Sam Bacile" the online cipher behind the inflammatory YouTube video, seems intent on courting the same outrage. the fanatics responsible for last Tuesday's embassy attack have a lot in common with domestic terrorists like James Holmes. They are psychopaths with tripwire ideologies that no amount of misguided censorship can hope to disarm (although stricter firearm regulations wouldn't hurt). And while the spectacular ignorance of Bacile's video certainly qualifies as irresponsible hate speech, it also falls firmly under the protection of his First Amendment rights. The man may be a thoughtless, gutless rabble-rouser, but he clearly understands the power of film to wound and inspire. CHECK OUT MUSIC REVIEW PODCAST ELECTRONIC REVIEW 91472806 http://udkne.ws/OyNeG1 KANSAN PODCAST MOVIES Pre-screen record broken by cult film ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Paul Thomas Anderson's cult drama "The Master" commanded a huge following in its opening weekend, smashing records on just a handful of screens. The Weinstein Co. release made $729,745 in five theaters in New York and Los Angeles for a record-setting per-screen average of $145,949, according to Sunday studio estimates. The hugely anticipated film, which just won several of the top awards at the Venice Film Festival and will open in more cities in upcoming weeks, stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as a charismatic cult leader and Joaquin Phoenix as his wayward protege. Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com, said the No. 1-opening for the latest "Resident Evil" movie came as a bit of a surprise. He figured "Finding Nemo" would come out on top, given the track record of the Pixar brand and the strong opening a year ago of Disney's "The Lion King" in 3-D, which debuted at No. 1 with $30.1 million. "The Screen Gems label, they know how to create a profit-making franchise," Dergarabedian said. "It's become so important if you have a star who resonates in the international marketplace — you can have a real winner worldwide." Among the other new movies this weekend, "Arbittrage" opened in 12th place in limited release with nearly $2.1 million. Richard Gere stars as a hedge-fund billionaire The huge opening for "The Master" beats the per-screen-average record for a live-action feature debut set earlier this year by Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom," which made $522,996 when it opened on four screens in May for an average of $130,749. Asked who the audience was for "The Master," Weinstein Co. president of theatrical distribution Erik Loris said: "We didn't do exit polls but from eyeballing the ArcLight (Cinemas), everyone in Los Angeles showed up." juggling scandals that could destroy him personally and professionally. Part of the allure was the rare opportunity to see the film projected in lush 70mm, which was possible at four of the five locations where it was playing. Expertly paced trailers released over the past few months revealed nothing, and unannounced screenings in select cities created more buzz. And some of the film's mystique may have come from its parallels to the origins of the secretive Church of Scientiology. Anderson has said the church's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, provided inspiration for Hoffman's character. "We knew we would do a lot of business but we didn't think it would be this big," Lomis said. "We knew from not only the pop-up screenings and the guerrilla marketing PTA does but also from the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto (International) Film Festival that we had something special. But you can never expect these kinds of numbers — it blew the doors off Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday. the theaters." As Dergarabedian phrased it: "Paul Thomas Anderson, among film buffs and film fans, is a directing god. He's on Mount Rushmore with Christopher Nolan and some other great filmmakers. When he puts out a movie, it's a long lead time — we're forced to wait for a new Paul Thomas Anderson film. 'There Will Be Blood' was 2007. in the independent world, directors are the stars," he added. "They draw people to the theater and fill theaters."

SPORTS Today's Cryptoquip Clue: S equals T Boxing great wins humanitarian award ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Retired boxing champ Muhammad Ali was known as "The Greatest" inside the ring. But some say the moniker has been even more fitting in the years since he hung up his gloves. All came to Philadelphia on Thursday to receive the Liberty Medal for his longtime role as a heavyweight for humanitarian causes, civil rights and religious freedom. Among those celebrating his latest honor at the National Constitution Center were former NBA star Dikembe Mutombo and Joe Louis Barrow II, the son of boxer Joe Louis. "Knowing you since I was a little boy has given me a ringside seat to history," an emotional Barrow said. "But it's your character outside the ring that speaks to the hope of the least and lost among us." The 70-year-old Ali, hobbled by a 30-year battle with Parkinson's disease, did not speak. But he stood with assistance to receive the medal from his daughter Laila Ali. He looked down at his medal for several moments and then waved to the crowd. The award comes with a $100,000 cash prize. Ali was born Cassius Clay but changed his name after converting to Islam in the 1960s. He refused to serve in the Vietnam War because of his religious beliefs and was stripped of his heavyweight crown in 1967. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling later cleared him for a draft evasion conviction, and he regained the boxing title in 1974 and again 1978. at the ceremony Thursday, Mutombo recalled the impression Ali's visit made on him as an 8-year-old growing up in that country. "He changed my life," said Mutombo, who also is a trustee of the Constitution Center. "I can never forget how inspired I was to see a black athlete receive such respect and admiration. He changed how the people of Zaire saw themselves, and in turn how the world saw them." One of his most famous fights took place in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he battled George Foreman in the "Rumble in the lunale" in 1974. Since ending his boxing career in 1981, Ali has traveled extensively on Ali received the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 2005. He also has established the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Research Center in Phoenix and a namesake educational and cultural institute in his hometown, Louisville, Ky. The National Constitution Center, which opened in 2003, is dedicated to increasing public understanding of the Constitution and the ideas "You know, my father loves people and people love my father, and I learned that at a very young age, as people would always come up to him wherever we went," Laila Ali said. "My father has always lived his life to make this world better for others." and values it represents. It awards the Liberty Medal annually to a person who displays courage and conviction while striving to secure freedom for people around the world. international charitable missions and devoted his time to social causes. Previous Liberty Medi recipients include rock singer and human rights activist Bono, former South African President Nelson Mandela and former President Jimmy Carter. Six winners later received Nobel Peace Prizes. Also presenting the honor to Ali on Thursday were U.S. Olympic athletes Claressa Shields and Susan Francia. Last month, the 17-year-old Shields became the first U.S. girl or woman to win a gold medal in boxing. Francia is a two-time rowing gold medalist from Abington, just north of Philadelphia.

Now, in the wake of the "Dark Knight Rises" theater shootings and the anti-American furor sweeping the Middle East as the result of one shoddlily produced YouTube video, the media incitement debate has returned, sporting fresh blood and a global wingspan. James Holmes, accused of killing 12 people in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater, appears in district court with defense attorney Tamara Brady on Monday, July 23 in Centenial. Colo. Holmes identified himself as the joker to police after the shooting. By Landon McDonald lmcdonald@kansan.com The issue stretches back as far as 1915, when D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation," already controversial for its revisionist portrayal of the Ku Klux Klan, was accused of encouraging violence against African Americans by depicting the brutalization of a white woman by a sexcrazed Union soldier in blackface. Griffith's historical epic, which went on to become a recruitment tool for the KKK, opened amidst vehement protests and was banned in a number of cities. Even as recently as 2004, threats of arson forced exhibitors to cancel a screening of the film in Los Angeles. There are many examples of life imitating celluloid with dire acuity. Jodie Foster's performance as an underage prostitute in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" earned her the twisted affections of John Hinckley Jr., who non-fatally shot President Ronald Reagan in a bid to impress the actress. Stanley Kubrick famously pushed for the banning of his own "A Clockwork Orange" in the United Kingdom, after the press blamed his film for a bizarre crime wave, including the murder of a homeless man by a gang of teenagers dressed as Alex DeLarge and his Droogs. Oliver Stone's thrill-kill romance "Natural PETER J. KOEHN Scorsese Born Killers", itself a mordant commentary on our nation's love affair with violence, sparked a record number of copycat slayings. Then we have suspected Aurora shooter James Holmes, whose grip on reality was fractured to the point where he allegedly told police he was the joker. The current unrest in Libya and Egypt recalls the fate of Theo van Gogh, whose extremist-baiting short film "Submission" led to the Dutch filmmaker's gruesome public execution by an Islamic fundamentalist in 2004. Now "Sam Bacile," the online cipher behind the inflammatory YouTube video, seems intent on courting the same outrage. The fanatics responsible for last Tuesday's embassy attack have a lot in common with domestic terrorists like James Holmes. They are psychopaths with tripwire ideologies that no amount of misguided censorship can hope to disarm (although stricter firearm regulations wouldn't hurt). And while the spectacular ignorance of Bacile's video certainly qualifies as irresponsible hate speech, it also falls firmly under the protection of his First Amendment rights. The man may be a thoughtless, gutless rabble-rouser, but he clearly understands the power of film to wound and inspire. CHECK OUT MUSIC REVIEW PODCAST ELECTRONIC REVIEW http://udkne.ws/OyNeG1 KANSAN PODCAST MOVIES Pre-screen record broken by cult film ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Paul Thomas Anderson's cult drama "The Master" commanded a huge following in its opening weekend, smashing records on just a handful of screens. The Weinstein Co. release made $729,745 in five theaters in New York and Los Angeles for a record-setting per-screen average of $145,949, according to Sunday studio estimates. The hugely anticipated film, which just won several of the top awards at the Venice Film Festival and will open in more cities in upcoming weeks, stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as a charismatic cult leader and Joaquin Phoenix as his wayward protege. Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com, said the No. 1-opening for the latest "Resident Evil" movie came as a bit of a surprise He figured "Finding Nemo" would come out on top, given the track record of the Pixar brand and the strong opening a year ago of Disney's "The Lion King" in 3-D, which debuted at No. 1 with $30.1 million. "The Screen Gems label, they know how to create a profit-making franchise," Dergarabedian said. "It's become so important if you have a star who resonates in the international marketplace — you can have a real winner worldwide." Among the other new movies this weekend, "Arbitrage" opened in 12th place in limited release with nearly $2.1 million. Richard Gere stars as a hedge-fund billionaire Part of the allure was the rare opportunity to see the film projected in lush 70mm, which was possible at four of the five locations where it was playing. Expertly paced trailers released over the past few months revealed nothing, and unannounced screenings in select cities created more buzz. And some of the film's mystique may have come from its parallels to the origins of the secretive Church of Scientology. Anderson has said the church's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, provided inspiration for Hoffman's character. The huge opening for "The Master" beats the per-screen-average record for a live-action feature debut set earlier this year by Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom," which made $522,996 when it opened on four screens in May for an average of $130,749. Asked who the audience was for "The Master," Weinstein Co. president of the theatrical distribution Erik Lomis said: "We didn't do exit polls but from eyeballing the ArcLight (Cinemas), everyone in Los Angeles showed up." juggling scandals that could destroy him personally and professionally. "We knew we would do a lot of business but we didn't think it would be this big," Lomis said. "We knew from not only the pop-up screenings and the guerrilla marketing PTA does but also from the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto (International) Film Festival that we had something special. But you can never expect these kinds of numbers — it blew the doors off the theaters." As Dergarabedian phrased it: "Paul Thomas Anderson, among film buffs and film fans, is a directing god. He's on Mount Rushmore with Christopher Nolan and some other great filmmakers. When he puts out a movie, it's a long lead time — we're forced to wait for a new Paul Thomas Anderson film. 'There Will Be Blood' was 2007. "In the independent world, directors are the stars," he added. "They draw people to the theater and fill theaters." Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included.

A PAIR OF CUFF LINKS Essential tackle for the multi- millionaire about-town, these are like TV sets, deep dish pizzas, and the Kansan's Free For All section: the bigger, the better. As a general rule, if you can lift your arms effortlessly, either your cuff links are too small, or you've done too much manual labor to really be in the one percent (typically, upper If you're a driver, you hate pedestrians.

A BOW TIE By Sylas May smay@kansan.com I wish life had a Ctrl+F button But not a clip-on. This is important, because any blue-collar, minimum-wage yahoo can figure out how to put on a clip-on. You don't want to be a yahoo, do you? Tying a bow tie is like paying income tax; it's intimidating and most people never figure out how to do it, preferring to pay someone who's been studying A CRAVAT up on it his whole life to do it for them. I admit, that analogy fell apart a bit, mostly because you one-percenters don't know what income taxes are. If you can't tie one yourself (which, let's face it, you probably can't), feel free to hire a bowtie specialist; there no shame in it, and, with so many tie-tiers out on the streets today, you can get an easy hit of that warm, fuzzy "I-just-created-a-job" A LIVE BALD EAGLE try like you don't follow the trends—they set them! These are a bit hard to come by these days, but the effect is amazing, because over half of Americans have never heard the term "cravat" before, and the fashionably minded few who know the word confuse cravats with ascot most of the time. Because most people don't have any experience with the cravat, it will lend a certain mystique to your appearance, and you can expect to hear many compliments on your "mystery scarf" as you pass your cuff-link-lifting men in the hall. feeling. If you can't decide between a cravat and a bow tie, you can always wear both at the same time. Remember, titans of indus- Win or lose, we still booze.

It's difficult to read culture. It's nearly impossible to read when one knows very little about culture. The dulling of American's ability to ready cultural signposts have been on the decline for sometime, making the great anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss' discovery that the main function for the first ancient writing was to facilitate the enslavement of humans symbolic One important aspect of American culture is its political apparatus, a democratic republic based on the idea of a mutual compact between the people and elected officials, via John Locke. By David Scott dscott@kansan.com We are less than two months away from the presidential election. This should be a time when American political pageantry is fully display in all its glory. Instead, we have millionaire politicians attacking one another, advocating for two vastly dif-ferent Americas, and asking for money from you and me—college students thinking of creative ways to enjoy Ramen Noodles for the third straight night. Understanding this election cycle gets even trickier. Despite an unremitting unemployment rate, President Obama enjoys an ever-expanding lead over Mitt Romney. No president since FDR has won re-election with an unemployment rate over 7.2 percent. Current unemployment rate is at 8.1 percent. (This rate is cut in half for college graduates and nearly double for African-Americans.) Even worse for Romney, according to a recent New York Times' poll, more Americans think Obama "would do a better job handling" foreign policy, Medicare, health care, taxes, the economy and unemployment. economy and accomplishment. This lead marks quite an accomplishment or disappointment, depending on how one looks at it. It's amazing that Obama is accumulating a lead in such a poor economy, and it's sad that Republicans cannot field a better candidate than Romney—someone who is incapable of getting out of his own way. But wait, there's more. As Obama's begins to pull away, right on cue, an anti-islam video released last week triggered anti-American violence throughout the Muslim world, resulting in the death of four Americans in Libya. Romney wasted no time in questioning Obama's leadership, accusing the President of sympathizing with the attackers and naivetee on matters concerning the Middle East. What does all this mean; millionaires asking regular, middle-class people for money, voters trying to decide between two very subpar presidential candidates, and protesters taking extreme measure to express their hatred for American? Where you fall on the political spectrum isn't the point. The point is whether you have a cohesive thought on the matter that you can share with your friend while waiting for class. If not, we have a problem. That's exactly how political oppressors want the politically oppressed to behave. It's hard work to physically coerce an entire population. It's easier and more efficient to just distract the populous. So if you don't have an explanation for these political developments, what's your distraction? Is it more important than your freedom? Here's one solid way to prevent this from happening: take a Western Civilization class. It's unfortunate we are now students of an institution that values turning out doocle workers rather than enlightened citizens.

The United States of America: The name roles on the tongue so nicely. If we dissect it just a little bit, the parts make some sense. "America" is geographical. We live on the continent of North America. "States" refers to the 50 units that make up the U.S. "United" makes things just a little bit tricky. Yes, all of the states are combined, or united, to form one country. But are we really united? Before I get too far into this, let me first take you back 11 years. It's Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2001. I was in third grade. Like every other day, I woke up at seven in the morning and got ready for school. My mom drove my siblings and me to the school where we attended and she worked. As we unloaded from the vehicle, I can remember my mom locking the doors to the minivan for the first time. She was scared. In many ways, we all were. When the weekend arrived, I saw the full page ad the Topeka Capital Journal had printed. I watched as my mom, like our neighbors, put a flag in our window. As sad and confusing as those few days after Sept. 11 were, there was something that came out of it that I couldn't have predicted. Suddenly everyone was in this together. Everyone wanted to be a part of this bigger thing and support each other in light of such a tragedy. Together we found strength to cry, to be proud and to help our neighbors. It didn't matter if your neighbor voted blue or red. Nobody cared about your party affiliation. You were simply American. (Disclaimer: I understand that my experience isn't true for all Americans and that many were unfairly left out. I apologize.) As the general election creeps closer I notice more and more political mumbo-jumbo invading conversations. "Who are you going to vote for?" "What do you think about this?" It's important, don't get me wrong, but there's an underlying thought here and it's this: As Americans, we need to come together determined to fix the problems we face on an everyday level. A few weeks ago, I, like many other Americans, watched the Republican and Democratic Conventions. I listened as one side tried to demonize the other in various speeches by politicians and celebrities alike. Each side claims that America should elect its party and that the other side doesn't share America's values, or simply that the other side is un-American. Somewhere in the 11 years since 9/11 we've forgotten what it means to love and care for each other. We've always been a loud and proud group of people. We cause a ruckus. We throw tea into the harbor. We fight for our rights and break the law when we don't understand them. We defend our land and our beliefs. We don't back down. And that's always who we've been. United? I'm not sure we are just yet. However I know that we Americans make this country great. Let us come together and work together, the way we've always gotten things done. There's still evidence from the days after Sept. 11 all around us. I lock my door in my driveway. I avoid crowded spaces. I get to the airport hours in advance to get through security. And I always tear up when I hear the national anthem. UDK Hawkins is a junior majoring in journalism from Scranton.

PAGE 8 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TENANT FROM PAGE 1 said. "Everyone has to be up front and know who is responsible for what." A LEGAL BATTLE Although there is a course of action for tenants to follow, many students do not fight against wrongful charges. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2012 "The deposit is the tenant's money," Larzalere said. "If you cleaned up and didn't do any damages, you should get your money back. That's the way the system is set up. Too many students just say, 'Oh, forget it, I don't want to fight to get it back.' Landlords count on that." Matney said she and her roommates did not fight back. "We were all moved out, and everyone is dealing with jobs now," Matney said. "We all decided to pay it and move on." But another student, John Smith, who is being kept anonymous because he is in the middle of a legal battle, is taking a different approach. The student did not pay a security deposit at the complex he lived at last year. He was charged more than $850 for damages, including charges for painting, replacing the mattress, replacing an ottoman and cleaning carpets. One of Smith's roommates spoke with management and was able to reduce his bill from $650 to $90. "They are false charges, and they know they are," Smith said. "They can't back them up in any way." After his roommate's charges were reduced, Smith spoke with management, expecting the same results. However, most of his charges went unchanged. Smith met with a lawyer at Student Legal Services and plans to fight back. "I'm definitely not going to pay $850," Smith said. "It's a pain in the ass. It's such a hassle." Matney and Criss recommend taking photos of an apartment during move-in and speaking to people who previously lived in the same place or under the same landlord before signing a lease. WHAT TO DO Tim suggests treating a rental property like it is your parents' home, and leaving it cleaner than it was when you moved in. "If there is beer and tomato juice flung against the wall and it's not cleaned up, you're going to get charged for it," Tim said. If a student is having any disagreement with a landlord, Larzalere recommends contacting Student Legal Services, which is a free service. "We can get you in within a short time," he said. "We contact landlords all the time to try to get money back; it's one of our high priorities." —Edited by Christy Khamphilay 10 Like other students, senior Blaine Criss is finding himself in a dispute with his landlord about his previous apartment's security deposits.

FUTURE OUTLOOK The University received $3 million from the state legislature this summer to hire 12 new professors. Gray-Little said this is the first full year the University will implement changes to its faculty and student recruiting strategy. Some changes were made last year, and the University had positive results. "I would want to see us fill a number of those foundation professorships, so we know by the end of they year who is coming," Gray-Little said. One of the changes to recruitment that Gray-Little would like to see improved is electronic communication with potential applicants. "For students who show some interest, we need to make sure we're following up regularly and in a personalized way, ensuring that students who come to campus have a good experience and we put them in contact with the right people," she said. One of the University's goals has already been met. This summer, the University Cancer Center earned the distinction of National Cancer Institute. "This is something that has been a major effort at the cancer center for several years," Gray-Little said. "There was rejoicing in the streets. That has been very, very important." To combat student costs, the University established the Far Above campaign, which started in April and will conclude in 2016. Part of the campaign is providing scholarships, fellowships and other financial assistance to students. RESPONDING TO STUDENT DEBT "That's happened lots of places around the country," she said. "In a public university, the rate of tuition In the U.S., total student loan debt exceeds total credit card debt. And, this summer, the Kansas Board of Regents approved a tuition increase at the University. This semester, incoming freshmen who are residents of Kansas paid 4.9 percent more in tuition and fees. Non-resident tuition increased 5 percent. Gray-Little said that most of the scholarship money comes from donations. The Kansas University Endowment Associationreported that more than $150 million in gifts and future commitments was given to the University last year, and a record 46,257 people contributed. is going up as funding from other sources is going down." Gray-Little said workstudy,federal and state loans are also helpful for students. "Scholarship funding is something we're trying to use very wisely," Gray-Little said. "We're trying to raise more money for scholarship through the campaign; that's one of the reasons the campaign is important." The next "Fireside Chat" is scheduled for Oct. 4. NATIONAL Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk LADROGUETER PRESCU ASSOCIATED PRESS Artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer discusses his new project titled "Open Air," commissioned by the Association for Public Art, in Philadelphia. The interactive light installation using 24 robotic searchlights plans to illuminate the night sky over the Benjamin Franklin Parkway from the scheduled dates of September. 20 to October 14. Philly artist translates words into beams of light in sky ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — A new interactive artwork opening in Philadelphia will make light of your words, but it's probably not what you think. Montreal-based artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is preparing to flip the switch on "Open Air," an interactive work that will translate voice messages into moving beams of light over a tree-lined parkway named for Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia's cultural district. Record your soapbox declarations, poems, grips, wishes and shout-outs of up to 30 seconds on the "Open Air" iPhone app or online, then watch 24 robotic searchlights slowly sweep through the night sky in patterns and intensity determined by your vocal signature and GPS location. The spectacle starts Thursday and runs through Oct. 14, from 8-11 p.m. each night. "Philadelphia has traditions of free speech and democracy. ... We wanted to take that background and implement technology to visualize it," said Lozano-Hemmer, who was commissioned about four years ago to create the work. "We wanted to take free speech and make it materially visible in the city." On clear nights, the artist's sky-high vox populi will be visible from 10 miles away. His site-specific installations have been presented worldwide, but "Open Air" is his first outdoor search project in the U.S. Want to beam yourself up? From anywhere in the world, messages can be recorded through the project's website (www.openairphily.net) or after downloading a free iPhone app debuting Sept. 20. Loaners will be available at on-site locations for the non-iPhone crowd. Messages recorded on the parkway — your smartphone's GPS gives you away — are automatically bumped to the front of the queue. As the light pattern activates, its originator gets a heads-on on their phone and the canopy of roving searchlights briefly form a dome in the air above the person's location. Anyone can simultaneously hear the speakers' messages through the Open "We wanted to take free speech and make it materially visible in the city." Organizers expect the inevitable "Yo, Vinnie!" and "Go Eagles!" exclamations but urge participants to take the opportunity to say something meaningful, funny, inspirational, challenging — and appropriate. Online entries will be kept in check by users' votes; on-site messages won't be censored, but the light canopy and being visible in the crowd should act to deter of RAFAEL LOZANO-HEMMER Artist behind "Open Air" project Air app or website or through two low-volume listening spots on the parkway.

"If you're on the parkway speaking, we all know where you are, and in a way it's pretty much like any public space: If you say something that's moronic, well, other people can see you do that and you self-regulate," Lozano-Hemmer said. "We need to moderate a little bit more online because of the anonymity." Interspersed among the everyday people will be prerecorded messages from past and present Philadelphiaans including filmmaker David Lynch, late Phillies announcer Harry Kalas, hip hop artist Santiago and classical pianist Andre Watts. All messages and corresponding light designs will also be archived on There are uncertainties inherent in ambitious projects that rely on public participation, however. Despite all the planning and work, what if people don't show up? Lozano-Hemmer and Penny Balkin Bach, executive director of the Association for Public Art, which commissioned the work, are confident that won't be the case. the project website for posterity. "We don't know the results — that's what so fascinating about this," Bach said.

For the first time ever, service members had marched in a gay pride deck outed in uniform Saturday, after a recent memorandum from the Defense Department to all military branches made an allowance for the parade. Military members march in pride parade IASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK (AP) — They are images Americans had never seen before. Jubilant young men and women in military uniforms march beneath a rainbow flag in a gay-pride parade. Soldiers and sailors returning from deployment and, in time-honored tradition, embracing their beloved — only this time with same-sex kisses. It's been a year now since the policy known as "don't ask, don't tell" was repealed, enabling gay and lesbian members of the military to serve openly, no longer forced to lie and keep their personal lives under wraps. The Pentagon says repeal has gone smoothly, with no adverse effect on morale, recruitment or readiness. President Barack Obama cites it as a signature achievement of his first term, and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, says he would not push to reverse the change if elected in place of Obama. Some critics persist with complaints that repeal has infringed on service members whose religious faiths condemn homosexuality. Instances of anti-gay harassment have not ended. And activists are frustrated that gay and lesbian military families don't yet enjoy the benefits and services extended to other military families. Yet the clear consensus is that repeal has produced far more joy and relief than dismay and indignation. There's vivid evidence in photographs that have rocketed across cyberspace, such as the military contingent marching in San Diego's gay pride parade and Marine Sgt. Brandon Morgan leaping into the arms of his boyfriend after returning from six months in Afghanistan. Tens of thousands of people clicked the "like" button for the photo on Facebook, and Morgan acknowledged it was "a great moment in history." There have been many such milestones since repeal took effect on Sept. 20, 2011: "But when it comes down to it, we didn't intend for this go to worldwide," he said. "We were just happy to be together." —In December, a lesbian sailor won the right to the coveted "first kiss" when the USS Oak Hill returned to port in Virginia after 80 days at sea. The crowd on hand to welcome the ship screamed in delight and waved flags as Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta shared a kiss with her partner, Citilic Snell — a moment captured in a YouTube clip that drew 1.5 million viewers. —In June, Air Force Tech. Sgt. Erwynn Umali and his civilian partner were united in a civil union ceremony at the chapel at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey, with a Navy chaplain presiding. -In August, longtime Army officer Tammy Smith became the military's first openly gay general. Her wife, Tracey Hepper, did the honors of pinning on the general's star during the promotion ceremony. The Defense Department says it is studying the possibility of extending marital benefits to same-sex couples, but has announced no time frame. Otherwise, the Pentagon has been emphatic in declaring the repeal a success. NATIONAL Kathy G ASSOCIATED PRESS Gene Ralston and his wife, Sandy, are shown with their boat at their home in Kuna, Idaho on Monday, Sept. 10, 2012. The couple volunteers in body searches. Caring couple helping families in unusual way IASSOCIATED PRESS KUNA, Idaho (AP) — Gene Ralston and his wife left their home in southwestern Idaho less than a week after he had a coronary angioplasty, putting another 2,400 miles on their motorhome while traveling to and from Canada with their aluminum boat. Ralston's doctor told him to take it easy, but the trip was just too important. "We left to go find Ralph," Ralston said. Ralph Der, 59, drowned in early August while fishing at a lake in British Columbia. Although he had never met the Ralstons, they would become intimately involved with the man's family while working to recover his body from the lake floor. "We know practically everything about him, his favorite fish, and all kinds of things," said Ralston, who has volunteered with his wife in body searches since the early 1980s. --people are using this brand for the quest of bettering this world." They've recovered the remains of 80 people and participated in the high-profile searches for Laci Peterson and Natalee Holloway. Ralston acknowledges not everyone may understand their life's work — he chuckled at a recent headline in the Canadian newspaper that read: "Idaho couple with odd hobby bring drowning victim home." "We don't think it's odd," said his wife, Sandy. They take pride in their commitment, which is why they didn't hesitate to go search for Der in Canada, even as Ralston was recovering from his heart procedure. The feeling of appreciation is what keeps the Ralstons going even as they reach an age when most couples start thinking about retirement. They know what it means for families to have their services available, and they've also seen tragedy firsthand. NATIONAL DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC ASSOCIATED PRESS In this Sept. 17, 2011 file photo, a woman in the crowd displays a sign as demonstrators affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement gather to call for the occupation of Wall Street in New York. Anniversary approaches for Occupy NEW YORK (AP) — Occupy Wall Street began to disintegrate in rapid fashion last winter, when the weekly meetings in New York City devolved into a spectacle of fistfights and vicious arguments. Punches were thrown and objects were hurled at moderators' heads. Protesters accused each other of being patriarchal and racist and domineering. Nobody could agree on anything and nobody was in charge. The moderators went on strike and refused to show up, followed in quick succession by the people who kept meeting minutes. And then the meetings stopped altogether. I ASSOCIATED PRESS In the city where the movement was born, Occupy was falling apart. "We weren't talking about real things at that point," says Pete "I would say that Occupy today is a brand that represents movements for social and economic justice," says Jason Amadi, a 28-year-old protester who now lives in Philadelphia. "And that many Occupy is a network. Occupy is a metaphor. Occupy is still alive. Occupy is dead. Occupy is the spirit of revolution, a lost cause, a dream deferred. But the movement is now a shadow of its mighty infancy, when a group of young people harnessed the power of a disillusioned nation and took to the streets chanting about corporate greed and inequality. The trouble with Occupy Wall Street, a year after it bloomed in a granite park in lower Manhattan and spread across the globe, is that nobody really knows what it is anymore. To say whether Occupy was a success or a failure depends on how you define it. LOCAL Associated Press Chip Taylor, director of the Kansas University-based Monarch Watch conservation group, told The Lawrence Journal World that this summer's drought meant a much smaller population of monarchs at the event Saturday at the Baker Wetlands. Taylor says, however, the normally lesser northeast coast population is doing well.

Taylor says this year's was the smallest he'd seen the monarch population in northeast Kansas. Consistently dry conditions led to fewer flowering plants and milkweed, which the butterflies need to survive. About 300 people observing the anniversary marched Saturday. At least a dozen were arrested, mostly on charges of disorderly conduct, police said. Monarch population dwindling in Kansas Monarch Watch organizes the ttagging to track migration through the U.S. and into Mexico for the winter. This is the group's 21st year of ttagging, and it has been inviting the public to take part. LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — There were fewer monarch butterflies found during an annual event aimed at tracking their migration through Kansas. On Monday, protesters will converge near the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate Occupy's anniversary, marking the day they began camping out in Zuccotti Park.

Sports TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Where did Jim Cathour coach before the University of Connecticut? A: Northeastern University Einin.com --- THE MORNING BREW Calhoun retires, Paterno still in hall, fight set in boxing IIM CALHOUN ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT This announcement by Calhoun came a year too late. He should have announced his retirement after the Huskies won their third national championship after defeating Butler 53-41 in 2011. It would have been the perfect retirement for Calhoun. He would have retired on top of the college basketball world and everyone would have remembered him as a champion in his last game as a collegiate head coach. By Christopher Schaeder cschaeder@kansan.com Instead, 70-year-old Calhoun is retiring with his powerful program in disarray. After the 2011-2012 season, the Huskies were barred from postseason play for the 2012-13 season due to several years of poor Academic Progress Rate scores. Senior forward Alex Ortihki, a key player on the 2011 national championship team, transferred to Missouri for his final season of eligibility. Redshirt freshmen Michael Bradley transferred to Vincennes University, an Indiana junior college, and Roscoe Smith, another key player on the championship team, transferred to UNLV. Things have only gone downhill for UConn after winning the championship in 2011, and you have to think that Calhoun could have seen this coming. Maybe he was too proud or maybe he wanted to prove that he could be a repeat champion. We will never know, but what we do know is that UConn men's basketball will never be the power it has become under Calhoun. Kevin Ollie was handpicked by Calhoun to take over the program as head coach, but it remains to be seen whether he can recruit the quality players that Calhoun consistently got during his time in Storrs. Calhoun built this program, and now he will see whether Ollie and the rest of the staff can continue this prestige. JOE PATERNO REMAINS IN BROWN UNIVERSITY'S ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME This decision by Brown University is preposterous. Joe Paterno helped cover up a child abuse scandal by lying and deceiving for almost 15 years. Any awards, acknowledgements and inductions of Paterno should be stripped immediately. I know that Paterno had nothing to do with the child abuse scandal while he was at Brown, but if a statue of the coach can be removed at a place like Penn State where Paterno was the most popular figure, his name can be removed from its hall of fame. Penn State and the rest of the college athletics world has been working tirelessly to rid itself that has anything to do with Paterno, Jerry Sandusky and anyone else involved with this awful scandal at Penn State. Brown University is a prestigious academic and athletic university that, from what I know, has not experienced any athletic scandals that are in the realm of the Penn State Scandal. There's no reason for Brown to scar its Athletic Hall of Fame by keeping Paterno in it. FOURTH PACQIUAO-MARQUEZ FIGHT SET FOR DEC. 8 This is another blow to boxing fans that are waiting for a fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fight. Fans of Pacquiao are still stunned after his controversial loss to Timothy Bradley last June in Las Vegas. The decision in the fight between Pacquiao and Bradley was criticized and has been a called a corruption of the sport. Despite this negative attention around arguably boxing's biggest star, all of KU this controversy could be put to rest if they are able they are able to set the fight that everyone wants: Mayweather-Pacquiao There is no reason why this fight shouldn't happen. The fans want it, the fighters seem to want it and I'm sure pay-per-view would be ecstatic about this fight. With all this reasoning, the fight seems like it should be a no-brainer, but instead, we will watch Pacquiao fight Marquez for the fourth time. I think four matches between these two is two too many.

A 30-yard run into the end zone by Danny Woodhead was nullified by a holding penalty against Rob Gronkowski. New England then moved to the 24 before Tom Brady spiked the ball to stop the clock with six-seconds remaining. But Gostkowski sent his kick to the left, just as Billy Cundiff did facing the same goal post on a 32-yard attempt with 11 seconds left in the Patriots 23-20 AFC championship win over Baltimore last season. They visit the Ravens next Sunday. "I had a chance to win and it came down to me and I didn't pull through, and it stinks," said Gostkowski, who had been 3-for-3 in his career on field goal attempts in the final two minutes with a chance to tie or win a game. The Cardinals (2-0) have won nine of their last 11 games. The Patriots (1-1) suffered a big loss when tight end Aaron Hernandez, their most versatile offensive player, hurt his right ankle in the first quarter. He left Gillette Stadium wearing a walking boot and carrying crutches. The Patriots gave no update on the injury.

Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk BASEBALL ANGELS 5 ASSOCIATED PRESS Los Angeles Angels' Albert Pujols, right, is forced out at third by Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas while trying to stretch a double during the fifth inning of a baseball game on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. Base-running error leads Angels over the Royals ASSOCIATED PRESS Pinch running for Mike Moustakas, who singled with one out in the ninth inning, he slid past second base on a steal attempt. He was first called safe by ampire D.J. Reyburn, but once he went past it on his head first slide, he was called out. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jarrod Dyson made a crucial out on the basepaths. "We put Dyson in in those situations and he can steal a base, pitchout or not pitchout," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "The problem is it takes him 20 feet to slow down." After that, Jeff Francoeur filled out and the Royals lost to the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 Sunday. "I got a good jump," Dyson said. "I don't like to peek in to see what the catcher's doing. I like to listen and I heard the mitt pop way too early. I was pushing it and slid way too hard. I've got to clean that up. I have to be safe right there." Everybody in the stadium knows I'm going. I like the challenge. I figure if I get that bag we've got a good chance. I come off the bag sometimes. It depends on a lot of things. Dyson 1 was off on the first pitch, but Kevin lesen pitched out. Mark Trumbo hit a three-run homer and Dan Haren pitched effectively into the sixth inning as the Angels won two of three at Kauffman Stadium. Trumbo, who had hit just .177 with 62 strikeouts in his previous 37 games to drop his average from .306 to .268, homered off Will Smith (5-8) in the second inning. It depends on the dirt. There are a lot of excuses I can use, but I didn't get the job done there." "When we got down 4-0, I knew we had to hold it right there and to Will's credit, he did it, with the help of great defense and some really great relay throws," Royals manager Ned Yost said. Haren (11-11) improved to 3-1 in his past four starts, holding the Royals to three runs, two earned, and five hits, while walking one and striking out five. He also moved to 4-0 in five career starts at Kansas City. Outfielder Jason Bourgeois had two assists as the Royals threw out Albert Pujols trying to stretch a double into a triple and Erick Aybar, who was trying to from first to second after a second inning After closer Ernesto Frieri gave up two home runs in the ninth Saturday to blow a save and take the loss and threw 30 pitches in a save Friday. Jespen was summoned in the ninth and picked up his second in four chances. Jespen has held opponents to one earned run in 11 2-3 innings in his last 12 outings. Tori Hunter, who has 17 RBIs in his past 18 games, singled home Erick Aybar in the first inning. single. After Haren departed, the Royals managed just one hit off Angels relievers Nick Maronde, Garrett Richards, Scott Downs, Jordan Walden and Kevin Jespen. The Angels got a major scare in the fourth inning when outfielders Mike Trout and Hunter collided while chasing Billy Butler's double to right-center. Manager Mike Scioscia and the trainer came out, but both remained in the game. Butler wound up scoring on Howie Kendrick's throwing error after Jeff Francoeur's infield shot, trimming the Angels' lead to 4-3. Tony Abreu led off the Kansas City third with his first home run in nearly two years. Abreu's previous home run was Sept. 26, 2010, while with Arizona against the Los Angeles Dodgers. SOCGER 24 KANSAS 24 UNVER 10 TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN Forward Courtney Dickerson tries to get the ball through two Denver defenders. The Jayhawks lost to Denver on Friday night by a score of 1-0. Free kick goal lifts Pioneers over Jayhawks LTYLER CONOVER tconover@kansan.com Despite attempting twice as many shots as their competitors, the Jayhawks soccer team lost 1-0 in a hard-fought game against the University of Denver Friday night. Kansas's record is now 6-2-1. The Pioneers brought a physical presence to Lawrence that the Jayhawks have not seen yet this season; Denver was called for 15 fouls while Kansas committed only seven. Coach Mark Francis said he knew Denver was a very good team before the match, but was surprised at how the first half went. "I thought the first half they totally dominated us, especially physically," Francis said. "We just couldn't find any rhythm; they had the ball more than we did and they created more opportunities." Kansas was stymied defensively throughout the game by Denver's ability to double team the ball, but it was the offside calls in the first half that kept Kansas off the scoreboard early. The Jayhawks had three shot opportunities that were called offside. Francis said it was a game of two halves. After a frustrating first half, he was able to regroup his team and Kansas played a much better second half. "I thought we played pretty well in the second half," Francis said. "We outshot them 11-1 in the second half. When you outshoot someone 11-1 you expect to score a goal." "The goal that we gave up was little bit disappointing," Francis The layhawks were unable to find the back of the net to tie the game even though they outshot the Pioneers 16-8. Denver scored the lone goal 18 minutes into the match after a free kick, making Friday's game the latest in a season plagued by set pieces for Kansas. This was the last non-conference game of the season for the Jayhawks and they haven't had to leave Lawrence for a game yet. With only two losses, the Jayhawcs are in good shape. Francis knows this match was tough, but as long as the team understands the mistakes that were made, he can live with the game's outcome. said. "There was a little bit of a breakdown off the set piece and with miscommunication, the ball bounces in the six yard box. We kind of gave the kid a gift on it." "I'll take the loss as long as we learn from it and don't make the same mistake again," Francis said. "You know you learn from it and you move on." Kansas opens conference play Friday against Oklahoma State at 5 p.m. in Lawrence.

TCU could have easily rouled the Jayhawks with an offense that passed for 335 yards and ran for 152, Kansas showed great resilience on defense in the red zone. GLASS HALF EMPTY The Layhawks were unable to capitalize on four turnovers, and their red zone inefficiency cost Kansas the game. Dayne Crist is still having trouble creating chemistry with his receivers and has yet to look comfortable in the pocket. Not encouraging signs for the Kansas faithful. GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID Did anybody else notice Dayne Crist run directly into Taylor Cox on a handoff? Verdict: Stupid The Jayhawks get their first taste of the road with a game next Saturday at Northern Illinois. DeKalb, Ill., isn't exactly Norman, Okla., but the hostile environment will only give Kansas a tougher test. Not to mention Huskies fans aren't too pleased with last year's 45-42 defeat in Lawrence.

FINAL THOUGHT Charlie Weis' biggest concern was getting the Jayhawks to compete til the end of every game. He got that and more against TCU. Campo can't ask his defense to do any more than it did on Saturday, and if they keep playing that way, the Jayhawks will have a chance to win some more games. If the offense keeps playing the way it, is it won't matter what the defense does.

Crist completed 19 of 39 passes, but that wasn't enough for the Jawhaws to get the win. TCU defeated Kansas 20-6. Pierson contributes in passing game FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com Tony Pierson rushed for 120 yards in each of the first two games this season. Coming into week three with a lot of momentum behind him, Pierson, a sophomore running back, was expected to help Kansas through the ground game against Texas Christian University, but he carried the ball nine times. That is less than half of what he averaged before playing TCU. With a quiet rushing game, his presence was noticed more in the passing game Saturday. "In this case, we thought if we can get Tony matched up with a linebacker, it could be a good match-up for us and he ended up making some plays in the passing game," Weis said. "That was to attack TCU." Coach Charlie Weis spent time in practice working with Pierson seeing what plays could work against TCU's defense. By the time preparation was over, Weis figured out where Pierson could excel against the Horned Frogs defense. Kansas running backs had only three receptions on the season coming into the game. Pierson's 26-yard catch in the second quarter was his first reception of the season and the longest catch of his career. He led the Jayhawks with six receptions. Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson also had six catches. Pierson, being active in the passing game, was out of his element as a college football player, and it is not something Kansas had pursued this season against South Dakota State or Rice. However, Pierson is not a stranger to the passing game as he saw action as a slot receiver while playing at East St. Louis High School. Pierson collected 99 yards on the day and helped senior quarterback Dayne Crist throw for over 300 yards. After Weis reviewed the game film with his offense in the first two games, he wanted to see if his speed could be used to help Crist in the passing attack. "I feel comfortable out there as a slot receiver" Pierson said. "I have confidence in myself in doing that. I did it back in high school a lot." "Knowing that we could get him the ball in the passing game was something important to us," Crist said. "Whether he is the first or fourth guy in your progression, you know if you get him the ball, he's got a chance to do something special. He was great for us today." Although Pierson was a key weapon in helping Kansas move the football on offense and found themselves trailing by only four points at halftime, they finished with six points in the game and were shutout in the second half. With junior running back James Sims set to make his return next week against Northern Illinois, many are curious as to how Piperion will be used with Sims taking over as the starting running back. Weis said that even after Saturday's game, Piperion will remain as a running back. At the same time, Weis won't hesitate to have Piperion move in motion and line up as a slot receiver before the snap. Even with a tough loss, where the Jayhawks had a chance to upset the Horned Frogs in Memorial Stadium, Pierson is keeping a positive mind-set in hoping that his presence on the field will eventually result with more points on the scoreboard. "We wanted to come out in the second half and try to come back and get the W" he said. "Unfortunately, we didn't. But we're still going to keep working hard." Edited by Brittney Haynes OFFENSE The run game slowly disappeared throughout the game as Kansas finished with just 77 yards on the ground. Dayne Crist passed for 300 yards, but the offense couldn't finish on any of its drives — scoring zero points. Grade: D DEFENSE The most pleasant surprise this season has been the aggressiveness of the defense. After recovering four fumbles yesterday — three of which were forced — Dave Campo's squad is now tied for most turnovers gained in the nation (12) with Alabama and Mississippi State. And Kansas still gave up 487 yards. Grade: B+ SPECIAL TEAMS Grade: B Ron Doherty made two of three field goals to give Kansas its only points of the day and picked up 100 yards punting. Clint Bowen's corps kept TOU from gaining too many yards on kick returns — allowing no more than 28 yards at a time. COACHING The Jayhawks had multiple opportunities to score on TCU. Most of the miscues came from the passing game, but not because of the play calling. It's hard to imagine Turner Gill losing by less than 14 to the Horned Frogs.

If the defense can continue to rip the ball away from the opponents and the offense can capitalize, this team could be bounce back rather easily from this loss. But this team is improving. Kansas fought hard, but eventually fell to 16th-ranked Texas Christian University, losing 20-6. Sure, some of the same mistakes were there for the Jayhawks. The offense, defense and special teams struggled at various points in the game. By Pat Stratman pstratman@kansan.com But this team impresses. Yes, the Kansas defense allowed TCU to gain 487 total yards. The defense even allowed TCU junior quarterback Casey Pachall to throw for 335 yards, two touchdowns and throw six incomplete passes. Despite some glaring mistakes, Kansas is slowly improving. After all, the team only lost by 14 points. If the Jayhawks didn't force those turnovers, TCU would have crushed Kansas. Even the scoreboard could have read 20-13 if Crist didn't fumble the ball inside the TCU five-yard line. —Edited by Christy Khamphilay When coach Charlie Weis came to the University, the obvious goal was to change the losing ways of the football program. Though all new coaches aim for that same goal, most, including Weis, know changing a program takes more than a swing of a magic wand. Realistically, the main goal is to just compete. Not exactly good, but the defense vastly improved by causing turnovers. For the Jayhawks, this means not losing by 30 or more points. Kansas led the Big 12 with eight turnovers going into Saturday's game. The Jayhawks defense prevented more TCU points from getting on the board by adding four more turnovers. All four were fumbles and three happened inside the Kansas 10-vard line. Out of the 12 turnovers, the offense has only scored four times on two touchdowns and two field goals. Against TCU, the Jayhawk offense only scored three points on the four turnovers. The Kansas offense showed flashes of greatness. The Jayhawks racked up 380 total yards, Senior quarterback Dayne Crist threw for 303 yards. Sophomore wide receiver Andrew Turzilli caught three passes for 100 yards and sophomore running back TyPIson had six receptions for 99 yards. Yards are great, but points earn victories and are valuable after turnovers. On the flip side, those turnovers don't mean anything unless the offense capitalizes. The ability to cause turnovers near Kansas' own goal line is a great sign for future games, especially for a team that had so few a year ago. Last year, Kansas caused 22 turnovers. Under coach Weis, the 2012 team already has 12 in three games. CLOSE. BUT NO CIGAR KANSAS 24 69 58 Senior safety Bradley McDougal celebrates a turnover created by the Jayhawks in Saturday's game against TCU at Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks lost control of the game after the first quarter, and the Horned Frogs won 20-6. TURNOVER HAPPY Despite forcing numerous turnovers, Jayhawks find themselves unable to score a touchdown BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com The opening moments of Big 12 play for Texas Christian were dreadful. Barely two minutes into the game, TCU junior quarterback Casey Pachall fumbled a low snap in Kansas territory. The 43,867 fans at Memorial Stadium roared to life as senior tackle Josh Williams recovered the ball near midfield. The Pachall fumble was a kickstart for two trends throughout Kansas' 20-6 defeat; TCU turnovers and the Jayhawks' inability to do anything with them. The Jayhawks were on the receiving end of four fumble recoveries, three of which were forced. However, the turnovers resulted in only three Kansas points. "We didn't feel like they were stopping us," Pachall said. "We were stopping ourselves." The Horned Frogs' offense gained 487 yards, but Kansas protected the red zone, aside from allowing two touchdowns. Junior punter Ron Doherty notched a 32-yard field goal to give Kansas an early lead off of Pachall's first fumble. The Horned Frogs responded by marching down to the red zone, and turning the ball over again. On a TCU pass from the Jayhawks' 23-yard line, senior safety Bradley McDougald broke through the line, tackled Pachall and ripped the ball from his hands, allowing senior defensive captain Toben Opumu to pick it up. Throughout the game, the Kansas defense made a play for the ball, not just the carrier. "Coach Campo told us they are bound to turn the ball over," said Kansas sophomore linebacker Ben Heeney. "The running backs carry the ball loosely, and the coaches told us to put our head on the ball and strip it." It would take Kansas only 18 seconds to hand the possession right back, as quarterback Dayne Crist Crist was stripped by defensive end Stansly Maponga, ending a shot a Kansas comeback. fired a pass that TCU's sophomore safety Sam Carter intercepted. It would be Crist's only costly pass of the game, yet the fifth-year senior did not have a productive day. Crist gained 303 yards in the air, but he finished with a poor passing percentage for the second time in three games. He completed only 19 of 39 attempts. After the game, Weis praised Crist for the toughness he showed in the pocket. in the pocket. "He stood right in there and he took the hits!" Weis said. "There were a lot of big plays. We missed a few, but we definitely made progress." The layhawks picked up three first downs, highlighted by sophomore wide receiver Andrew Turzilli's 41-yard reception. This set up an opportunity for Kansas on the Horned Frogs goal line, but "You want to kind of put the pedal to the metal at that point and capitalize on those," Crist said. "We didn't finish drives, we didn't score a touchdown and as an offense that's frustrating." another TCU turnover. The frustration began to swell late in the fourth quarter as Kansas trailed by 14; the layhawks could not operate on offense after TCU running back Matthew Tucker got his second forced fumble of the day when McDougald stripped the ball from him, and with 3.11 left in the game, coach Charlie Weis decided to start airing it out. Instead, Weis blamed the wide receivers for the passing game's problems this week. "When we got the ball back the last time I told the defensive staff I don't care if I use both our timeouts," Weis said. "We've got to go down there and try and get this to a one-score game." The only encouraging receiving games came from Turzilli and sophomore halfback Tony Pierson. Turzilli had an impressive 100-yard game in his first career start, and Pierson gained 99 yards as a wide receiver. Even though the defense gave Weis' offense opportunities to get points on the board, the jayhawks couldn't muster more than two field goals. "I't frustrating if I'm being honest about it," Opurum said. "The biggest thing we need to is finish. Whether it's plays, drives, quarters or halves, we just need to finish." — Edited by Nikki Wentling VOLLEYBALL Jayhawks win Golden Dome Invitational KINGSHIP 3 Senior middleblocker Taylor Tolefree goes for a kill during a tournament in South Bend, Ind. against Notre Dame during Friday Sept. 14-16. GEOFFREY CALVERT ecalvert@kansan.com CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Notre Dame ended Kansas nine-match winning streak Sunday, bouncing back from losing the first set to beat the Jayhawks 3-1 in the Golden Dome Invitational. Kansas, Notre Dame and Loyola Marymount each finished the tournament with a 2-1 record. The tournament's tiebreaker rules gave Kansas the tournament crown, and redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc was named the tournaments MVP. Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree joined her on the all-tournament team. All four sets in the Notre Dame match finished within three points, and the jayhawks won the first set 25-22. They controlled most of the second set and led 20-15, but Notre Dame used an 8-0 run to take the lead. Kansas fought off set point three times, but the Fighting Irish held on for a 26-24 second set win. "We made a couple of unforced errors at the end of set two," coach Ray Bechard said. "We could've made smarter choices with what was in front of us. They're a physical bunch, but you compound that when you make an attack that creates opportunities for them to be even more physical." Tolefle led the jayhawks with a .333 attack percentage. She said Notre Dame did a better job of setting the tone for the match, which kept Kansas from getting into a groove. Sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton led Kansas with 18 kills against Notre Dame, and was one of three jayhawks with at least 10 kills. However, the team struggled to find an offensive rhythm, and finished the match with a .207 hitting percentage.

"There was some hesitation trying to get a feel for how the match was going to go, but we take it upon ourselves to set the tone in the match and not wait and feel it out."

Notre Dame used nine kills and two service aces to claim the third set 25-23. The Jayhawks forced another extended set in the fourth set, fighting back from a 17-14 deficit to tie the set at 24.

Empty shampoo and conditioner bottles are stuffed into overflowing trash cans. A bin of compost festers in the corner. This is the apartment of a student who wants to be sustainable and environmentally friendly by recycling but can't fit it into the schedule or doesn't know how. Kim Scherman, a senior from Eudora and president of a University group called Environs that promotes environmentalism, said there are many easy ways for students to be more environmentally friendly in their daily lives. One of the points Scherman stresses is the importance of buying food locally. She buys produce from the Lawrence Farmers Market and checks the labels of items in grocery stores. "It's more sustainable to eat local food," Scherman said. "A practical thing for a college student to do could be going to the farmers market on Saturday mornings, meet a couple of farmers and substitute a couple of the things you're using with local foods." Cassandra Ford, waste reduction and recycling specialist for the City of Lawrence, said buying local foods is an easy change students can make. "A lot of people think of energy conservation and say they can't afford it," she said. "But it's simple things, too." Students can learn more about how to save money and energy in their homes and how to make sustainable purchases at the 12th annual Energy Conservation Fair this Saturday, Sept. 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Holcom Park, 2700 W. 27th St. During the past six years, organizers have been working to make it applicable to more people. “You can go see all of the different topics, find one thing that makes sense to you and your lifestyle and that one thing can make a Ford said there would be about 40 vendors at the fair, teaching attendees how to do things from installing solar panels and geothermal wells to encouraging switching to CFL or LED light bulbs and taking reusable tote bags to the grocery store. huge difference," Ford said. Scherman attended the fair last year and incorporated some of these tactics into her everyday life like recycling. "I can't just throw things in the trash," she said. Scherman and her roommates pay a fee for curb side recycling. They were given a bin by a private company to put their recycling in and have it picked up. Information about how and where people can recycle in Lawrence will be available at the fair. Kathy Richardson, waste reduction and recycling operations supervisor for the City of Lawrence, said she and her staff gave a presentation to the city commission last week promoting the possibility of establishing a citywide recycling collection service, which would be offered to all residents. Commissioners agreed to accept proposals from private companies and the city. They will make a decision in December, and, if accepted, organized recycling collection would begin in June 2014. For now, however, Richardson recommends paying for a bin as Scherman does or taking recycling to the drop-off bins located around Lawrence. Ford recommends attending the fair this weekend to find a simple way to be environmentally friendly. She said everyone could find something they can do to make a change.

To contact Bion Pirote, email him at ben@politicalfiber.com INFOGRAPHIC COURTESY OF POLITICALFIBER.COM CAMPUS Wescoe revamp held up JOSEPH DAUGHERTY jdaugherty@kansan.com This summer's drought is one reason the $225,000 renovation of Wescoe Beach is about two months behind schedule. The renovations will be finished by late September or early October, well after the original completion date of Aug. 1. Peg Livingood, landscape architect and campus planner, said the extreme heat combined with the LED lighting being back-ordered caused the delay. Some students are upset because during demolition the trees were removed and have yet to be replaced. Architecture student Dominic Sosinski, junior from Kansas City, Kan., thinks the idea of remodeling Wescoe was a great idea but the execution of could have been better. "There are a few problems for me. Primarily being the lack of shade," Sosinski said. "Wescoe is literally a beach so to speak. I saw someone walk out there, touch the seats, pull his hand back because of how hot it was and walk back into the shade and took a seat on the stairs." There are no trees on Wesco right now so students are left outside with no shade. However, that is supposed to change. -- "The trees have not been put in because it has just been to hot," Livinggood said. "With the extreme heat we had this summer, if we planted the trees they would have died." Livingood added that the trees should be planted in the next couple of weeks. The trees that were in the elevated boxes on Wescoe before the renovations were actually dying because the roots had nowhere to grow, Livingood said. When the new trees are planted, they will be planted directly in the ground thus letting the roots grow and letting the trees flourish. Former student body president, Libby Johnson initiated the Wesco renovation to make the space more usable for students. One of the main ideas behind the renovations was to create more seating. "The old Wescoe seating was not really great for groups of people to sit and talk," said Hannah Bolton, student body president. The remodel includes electrical outlets at each bench that allows students to charge their electronics on Wescoe Beach. Livinggood said that there will be 10 outlets; two for each bench. Another main goal of the renovations was to make Wescoe more attractive for people walking on campus. Bolton said. It had not been changed since it was built in the 1970s. Even after learning that the renovations were not finished on Wescoe, students still seem to have somewhat mixed reactions on the changes. Sosinski said he does not really like the new design.

CAMPAIGN NEWS China trade affects campaigns ASSOCIATED PRESS President Barack Obama greets people after speaking at a campaign event at Eden Park's Seasongood Pavilion, Monday, in Cincinnati, Ohio. CINCINNATI — Appealing to Rust Belt voters, President Barack Obama announced a new trade enforcement action against China on Monday, while Republican challenger Mitt Romney planned a greater emphasis on policy details that distinguish him from Obama to stop the incumbent's election momentum. Romney's shift comes as Republicans openly fret about the state of their nominee's campaign and press him to give voters a clearer sense of how he would govern. In newly published polls, Romney has lost the edge he held over Obama as the candidate better able to handle the federal budget deficit and taxes. Romney pollster Neil Newhouse attributed Obama's gains to the bump the president received overall after the Democratic National Convention in North Carolina this month. But on taxes, Newhouse acknowledged Romney's need to do more to distinguish his plans. "I'm not sure that voters really understand the differences between the plans Mitt Romney has and Obama has." Newhouse said. "And I think that's one thing we're committed to trying to do in moving forward is defining the differences between the two candidates on taxes." One recent line of criticism from Romney appears to have brought a quick response from Obama. The White House announced a move to stop Chinese subsidies of its auto industry — four days after Romney launched an advertising campaign accusing the president of allowing American manufacturing jobs to be lost to the Asian power. Opinion polls since the political conventions show not only that Obama is leading in the key swing states, but a recent national poll shows he has taken over Romney's The issue hits home among working class voters in manufacturing swing states such as Ohio, where The office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced Monday it has asked the World Trade Organization to intervene with China over illegal subsidies of exports in their autos and auto parts sectors. The U.S. says the practice puts American parts manufacturers at a competitive disadvantage and encourages the outsourcing of production to China. Jobs in the U.S. auto parts sector dropped by roughly half between 2001 and 2010, while U.S. imports Romney said his test on federal spending would be whether a program is "so critical that it is worth borrowing money from China to pay for it." "Campaign-season trade cases may sound good on the stump, but it is too little, too late for American businesses and middle class families," Romney said. "President Obama's credibility on this issue has long since vanished." tices by China. In his weekly podcast Saturday Romney said that “in 2008, candidate Obama promised to take China ‘to the mat.’ But since then, he让China run all over us.” office to help U.S. businesses compete. Campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said it takes a "special kind of chutzpah" for Romney to criticize Obama on China with his record at Bain. Obama countered with a TV spot focused on its claims that Romney outsourced jobs to China while working in the private sector. His campaign also released a new Web video Saturday in which Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said Romney holds investments in Chinese companies. Romney's campaign piled on Monday with two new spots: one outlining his plan for job creation and the other assailing Obama for a growing national debt. Birth certificate further questioned 10PEKA — President Barack Obama's spot on the November election ballot in Kansas is secure, but a short meeting Monday of a state elections board included an unsuccessful protest from a California attorney active in the so-called "birther" movement. PRESIDENTIAL The State Objections Board's decision to close its inquiry into whether Obama should be listed on the ballot The notion that Obama was born anywhere but Hawaii has been discredited, and the White House released the long form of his 1961 birth certificate last year. Hawaii officials also have repeatedly confirmed his citizenship. His mother was a Kansas native. ASSOCIATED PRESS jection to the Democratic president's ballot listing, it postponed a decision so that officials in other states could authenticate a copy of Obama's birth certificate available online. Information came not only from Hawaii but also Arizona and Mississippi, where similar issues have arisen. "We have a duty to the people of Kansas under state law to investigate every objection and make a determination," said Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the board's chairman. When the all-Republican board had a hearing Thursday on the ob- wasn't in doubt, because the Manhattan man who objected withdrew his challenge Friday. Orly Taitz, a California lawyer and dentist, accused the board of ignoring evidence that Obama doesn't have a valid birth certificate — claims she has pressed in other states. Her comments riled a small group of Obama supporters who attended the meeting and demonstrated outside. Later, outside, as she gave interviews, Obama supporters gathered around her, holding signs and shouting comments such as, "Stop the b.s!." and "Phony, phony baloney!"

But then it never stopped. Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic has doubled in size 1 BOCA DE CACHON, Dominican Republic — No one thought much about it when the largest lake in the Caribbean began rising over the past eight years, swallowing thousands of acres of farms and more than a dozen villages. In neighboring Haiti, smaller Lake Azuei has also steadily swelled, destroying homes and farms as well as disrupting trade by occasionally blocking a key cross-border highway. The two lakes are only three miles (five kilometers) apart and are fed by some of the same streams. It's been a slow-motion disaster and potentially catastrophic for two countries already burdened by major environmental challenges. The waters' rise has worsened exponentially in recent years, especially after heavy rains in 2007 and 2008 hit the island of Hispaniola, which both countries share. Tropical Storm Isaac dumped more water on the region last month, sparking more damage. While the cause remains a mystery, theories as to why the lakes are rising range from sediment and trash clogging the water system to increased rainfall from climate change and heavy storms. Dominican farmer Domingo Bautista recalls how the water gradually overtook his sugar cane, banana and sweet potato crop. Within two months, the family had to abandon their one-bedroom home in the sunbaked village of Boca de Cachon. "The water just crept up on us," said Bautista, who now works as a janitor at a roadside inn. "It didn't happen overnight." The spread of Enriquillo has flooded 16 communities in two provinces, more than 46,500 acres of agriculture land and 1,000 properties, according to a July study authored by the Technological Institute of Santo Domingo and the NOAA CREST Center of the City College of New York. In all, some 10,000 families have lost cattle, farmland or their homes. In Haiti, heavy rains made the situation worse last year and dozens of families were forced to evacuate. Many migrant laborers who cross into the Dominican Republic couldn't make the journey.

Continued attacks sour NATO relationship MIDDLE EAST KABUL, Afghanistan — An Afghan soldier fired on a vehicle he believed was driven by NATO soldiers on a shared base in southern Afghanistan, slightly wounding a foreign civilian worker, officials said Monday. It was the latest in a string of insider attacks by local forces on their international allies. The Sunday evening shooting in Helmand province came the same day an Afghan police officer shot and killed four American service members in Zabul, also in the south. That followed a shooting Saturday in which a man wearing the uniform of a government-backed militia group killed The attacks are threatening to undermine a partnership that is key to the handover of security responsibility to the Afghan government and therefore to the entire plan to drawdown international troops. NATO said it was reviewing protocols for protecting its troops in the wake of the current attack spike. two British soldiers in Helmand. The soldier turned his weapon on a vehicle that was driving inside Camp Garmmser, a shared base in Helmand, said NATO forces spokesman Maj. Adam Wojack. Another Afghan soldier disarmed the attacker and took him into custody. The assailant told interrogators he had thought he was targeting troops, Wojack said. He declined to give the nationality of the injured civilian, adding that the wounds were minor. The insider assaults drew unusually strong comment Sunday from the U.S. military's top officer, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, who called the problem of rogue Afghan soldiers and police attacking allied troops "a very serious threat" to the war effort. Dempsey said something has to change in order to address the escalating problem, suggesting that Afghans need to take the matter as seriously as the Americans do.

"Oblivious to Everyone", a onewoman show written and performed by Johnson, is meant for a student audience.

She keeps audiences entertained with her portrayal of a woman with multiple personali- "The 10 different characters help to show the many ways the media has impacted us, good and bad." lohnson said. In a light-hearted way, Johnson's performance shows how stereotypes and pressures that prevail in the media affect people. She overdramatizes assumptions about groups of people. Johnson's main character Carrie, who bears a striking resemblance to Paris Hilton, has an unhealthy obsession with celebrities and the media. said.

The group's new self-titled album was released on Aug. 28, and includes the song "Panda," which has already been featured in a Bloomingdale's commercial and the upcoming video game FIFA 13. The music video for the album's first track, "Cliervos," follows the four band members on a trippy dash around a verdant island. They don kilts and end up splattered with paint and luminous powder. This flower child attitude has drawn numerous comparisons to MGMT from American critics. However, Astro's pairing of synthesizer blips and shrill vocals is All of Astro's songs on the new album are in Spanish, yet the language difference doesn't diminish the musical quality for listeners who speak English; lyrics nearly always take a backseat to melody and attitude. In fact, this first studio effort begins with such an exuberant five-song romp that the cosmic pop begins to stagnate by the album's second half. more akin to the electropop band Passion Pit. On the second song, "Coco," the band takes a deeper plunge than usual into alternative rock. The synthesizer vortex that envelops most songs on the album fades into the background as an accessory in favor of gritty guitar chords with a sustain reminiscent of classic surf music. THE BEAT HIVE However, the first several tracks, including "Ciervos," "Coco," "Colombo" and "Panda," practically beg the listener to break out a tie-dye shirt and crack some cerezas in the wilderness. The carefree vibe of these songs is fresh in the album's early stages; the timeless strum of electric guitar and rock drum-beats add depth to the electronic sound. Astro has the talent, sound and shaggy demeanor of a successful indie-electro band, with moustaches to boot. American listeners should view this debut album as an introduction to the band and a sign of their potential. Beginning with the lackluster sixth track, "Miu-Miu," the rest of the album maintains a level of sunny mediocrity. Astro can improve upon this lack of musical diversity in the future. ★ ★ ☆ ☆ Edited by Whitney Bolden WHITE GIRL PROBLEMS A history of rap means more than East vs. West Coast I spent this past Saturday at a concert, singing along to the lyrics I knew and dancing my way through the crowd. The headliner wore an ironic "I'm in the Band" tank, a plaid pearl snap collared shirt, skinny jeans and Converse shoes and had the haircut of an Urban Outfitters model. An acoustic guitar made an appearance. At one point, we sang along to Miley Cyrus "Party in the U.S.A." Believe it or not, what I'm describing is a rap concert. The Hoodie Allen concert at the Granada was in every way a fun, upbeat performance. However, considering I was at a rap concert, I couldn't help but notice that I saw only two black guys in the sold-out crowd of 1.000. Today's hip-hop and rap scenes offer sub-genres that fit any listener's tastes. Despite stereotypes of gang violence and disrespect towards women, both modern and early rap are known more for beats and rhythm. Hip-hop was birthed by late jazz and neo-soul in the 1970s and '80s. At the time, popular songs centered around storytelling about daily events that often featured inequality and corruption. Very suddenly, songs about racial inequality and daily struggles turned aggressive. In the '90s, the rap genre turned from fun, dance-friendly beats to violent, anti-establishment themes. The hip-hop group N.W.A. (Niggaz Wit Attitudes) from a suburb of Los Angeles released songs like the cult classic "Fuck the Police," establishing California prominence in what would soon become an East Coast-West Coast hip-hop rivalry. This is when rap gets "real" Rap from the time of this media-dubbed "rap war" between California and New York groups was graphic, violent and is still idolized by the masses. People in the '90s took rap very seriously. New York was jamming to songs like "Wu-Tang" By Emily Donovan edonovan@kansan.com Fast forward a decade. Nicki Minaj is singing about drinking on the beach in "Starships" and Kanye West continues to comment on all the money, women and alcohol his lifestyle allows him to gain. What happened between Snoop Dogg's gang and drug-related appearances in the '90s and early 2000s to his gummy-bear and candy-suit appearance in Katy Perry's "California Gurls?" Clan Ain't Nutting ta Fuck Wit." In California, Tupac Shakur starts his retaliation song "Hit 'em Up" by insulting his rival's wife, crew, recording label and entire fan base, using the chorus to warn anyone who sees him to grab their gun and call the police. My mom still cringes when I play music from this era of rap in the car. During the East versus West Coast era, rap was exactly as violent as my mother thinks it was. However, after the gang-related shooting deaths of The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac, East and West Coast leaders respectively, rappers realized what their violent lifestyles led to. Rap opened back up to more introspective themes. The East Coast-West Coast rivalry fell apart. So I reiterate: I am a white girl. I'm into cardigans and semicolons. Why would the same genre that endorsed gold chains and semi-automatic hand-held pistols appeal to a white girl from the suburbs? Despite occasionally listening to Eminem, the most trouble I've ever been in with the police was for a speeding ticket. What used to be a violent gang-based rivalry between New York and California devolved into Jay Z's "Empire State of Mind" versus Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg's answer song "California Gurls." The hip-hop market opened up. And, suddenly, record companies started to realize how much money being popular enough to play on hit music radio stations like Mix 93.3 could bring in. The hip-hop scene's target demographic changed from inner-city gang enthusiasts to youth at large. Rap has been so widely dissected that classic artists like Tupec or the Wu-Tang Clan and contemporary artists like Hoodie Allen or Childish Gambino hardly fit into the same category. Like all other music forms, rap has evolved. Rappers may forever use explicit language to describe drugs, sex and money, but who raps has changed the game. In these technology-driven modern times, any MacBook owner can open GarageBand, create a beat and post it to SoundCloud or an online blog. Bloggers, generally speaking, don't join gangs. They don't create tense, violent rivalries between coasts. They don't carry Glocks or get into fights with police. The fact that anyone and everyone can produce beats creates more diversity within the genre. Technology lets rap vary from violent gangster rap to Katty Perry pop music. For any other listeners tired of listening to the same playlist of "Get Low," that one Black Eyed Peas song and Tech N9ne's "Caribou Lou," rap evolving is a beautiful, beautiful thing. - Edited by Hannah Wise CROSSWORD ACROSS 1 Pealed 5 Work with 8 "Ali —" 12 Gin flavoring 13 "Kidding!" 14 Hollywood clashers 15 Eight on a sundial 16 Ratatouille ingredient 18 Carrot cousin 20 Red-head's secret? 21 With it 22 Petrol 23 Discard 26 Salad base 30 Gorilla 31 Intention 32 Quarrel 33 Coleslaw or sauerkraut 36 Door holder 38 "— had it! 39 Droop 40 1,000 kilograms 43 Popeye's strengthener 47 Floret veggie 49 Wolf's look 50 Adam and Eve's third son 51 Arctic diving bird 52 Leeway 53 Stage show 54 Ball prop 55 Hen-house output DOWN 1 Answer an invite Solution time: 21 mins.

Youth vote valued more by candidates In this year's presidential election, once again the crown jewel demographic, each candidate will hope to secure is the senior vote. It is particularly critical in Florida, one of the few remaining battleground states and obvious given the focus by both candidates on Medicare. This election, the "youth" vote, or equally important, the lack thereof, could be of high consequence as well. While I know a lot of students at KU are political activists and we have our share of campus crusaders, there is also a significant portion of the population that is either apathetic or, understandably, put off by the political process. By Clay Cosby ccosby@kansan.com When President Barack Obama won the election in 2008 the voter turnout for 18-to-29-year-olds was 52 percent, the highest turnout since the same percentage occurred in 1992, according to the National Exit Poll. In that election Obama received 68 percent of the 18 to 29 vote to just 32 percent for Senator John McCain. When it comes to the youth vote in the upcoming election the real battle will be for voter turnout. There is a general sentiment regarding Obama that his campaign has not been able to replicate the same high level of enthusiasm from his supporters that it produced in 2008 (not that you could tell by watching the Democratic National Convention). If excitement has in fact decreased this would intuitively lead to a lower voter turnout especially among demographics that historically struggle to find the polling station: the youth. Additionally, while presidential candidate Mitt Romney is unlikely to steal the 18 to 29 vote from Obama, his share of the vote could grow from McCain's, in 2008, if younger voters adhere to the national trend of economically-centered values, which Romney polls much better on than any other issues. Youth voters are traditionally easier to whip into frenzies on social issues, but with the state of the economy we could see a change in priorities this year. Obama could be faced with a sizable reduction in total votes from this group if his margin of victory decreases and fewer still win Kansas if he punched a baby, like Will Ferrell's character in "The Campaign," your vote on either side of the aisle is as meaningful as a way of exercising your rights, especially one that was not always universally afforded. youth come out to vote. For younger voters this could mean a higher value is placed on your vote and we could see the candidates addressing issues facing youth voters, such as student loan programs and education, in the weeks to come. This is even more of a reason to exercise your rights by voting, even if you have never done so or be old enough to before. If you are not registered to vote, each year at KU the Dole Institute of Politics and the Student Advisory Board help put on a civic engagement program. The program includes a voter registration drive and this year they will be teaming up with the Student Legislative Awareness Board to bring awareness of the event to as many students as possible. If you think your vote does not matter because you live in Kansas, securely a red state, or because one vote could never make a difference, this is what our very own Barbara Ballards said while speaking at the Dole Institute of Politics to the Student Advisory Board: "I don't know anyone who walks into the voting booth and gets more than one vote."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR We, the Commission on the Status of Women, would like to address our concern about the display being put on campus this week by the group Justice For All. Justice For All is an extremist anti-choice group that comes every year to KU with a display intended to frighten and intimidate students. Not only are the images Justice For All displays extremely graphic (and despite the "warning signs" are completely unavoidable), they use biased and oftentimes present false or outdated information. This is not only morally contemptible but the spread of misinformation concerning medical practices can be dangerous and even deadly, Justice For All, in an attempt to frighten individuals and demonize prochoice advocates, exploits the horror of the Holocaust and the systematic lynching of African-Americans by making inaccurate and racist comparisons. their family, friends, and whatever faith or ideology they may or may not possess. No person or group knows or can speak for any 'individual's unique circumstances, and therefore cannot make the best decision for that individual. The pro-choice movement is about allowing a person's decision—whether to continue with a pregnancy or whether to end it—to be made in accordance with what is best for themselves, their future, and their families. This lack of compassion for true human suffering, as well as the emotionally manipulative format of the display, should concern all who hate oppression and misinformation, regardless of their stance on a person's right to choose. The decision to end a pregnancy is a deeply personal one, one that is to be made by the individual in question, with consultation if they desire of President of The Commission on the Status of Women at KU Haley Miller HUMOR Don't worry about motivation, let yourself self-loathe today It seems like you can't go more than five seconds without coming across some watered-down motivational phrase someone retweeted on your Twitter feed or some sage-like advice from a fellow student where they allude Adderall-laden all-night study sessions to some overused, played-out Muhammad Ali quote. If you're someone who has gone 18 or more years without learning how to self-motivate, these little nuggets of wisdom can come in handy. I know I'm probably not the only one who, on a good day, reads some of those things and conjures up a little more motivation. Nothing gets me more fired up than a paper for three hours than some random Dalai Lama quote. But that's on a good day. By AJ Barbosa abarbosa@kansan.com Unless you're Jack Johnson, you're going to have more than a handful of really bad days. Those days after you just found a dude with a tribal tattoo on top of your girlfriend, those days when you just totaled your already beat-down '96 Accord. You can try all you want to motivate yourself on those days, but I guarantee it won't work. It's a bad day, there's nothing you can do about it. Why not try reverse psychology on this whole thing? If you can't get inspired or motivated, you might as well have an uninspired, unmotivated day. It's a bit more complicated than that, though; you can knock out a basic self-loathing session just by lying in bed all day. sure you do it slowly and make sure you go开朗 loud enough for your roommates to hear (you're going to alienate them later on, so you might as well get a head start). Don't bother with showering or getting ready; bed head and B.O. are the embodiments of effective self-loathing. Fix yourself a bowl of cereal without milk, turn "The Today Show" on, mute it, and stare angrily out the window as you eat. By now, your roommates should get the message and won't bother you with stupid questions like, "Are you okay?" You have to step your game up (or down). If you're going to self-loathe, you've got to self-loathe with gusto. Here's how to start: Go ahead and roll out of bed, but make You're not okay, and that's why you aren't going to class. If you have a quiz, send a somber email to your professor telling them your great, great aunt passed away last night and your family staged a next-day funeral. If she asks for a program from the service, snap back with, "Are you kidding? Who grabs those things? It was my great, great aunt's funeral, not a high school graduation" Crisis averted. and "Jerry Springer" while retweeting stupid, sappy tweets from one of the fake Wiz Khalifa accounts until you reach exhaustion, thus leaving your roommates with the task of dusting off chip crumbs and taking you to bed. You'll sleep for about 16 hours and should feel rejuvenated when you wake up. Now it's time to load up on some comfort food and booze. Drive - aggressively, honking at everyone and cutting everyone off - to your nearest retailer and load up. Once you get home, inhale as many calories as possible while chasing it down with some sort of miserable, cheap booze. Once drunk, watch every episode of "Montel," "Maury." In his 2009 hit, "Young Forever," Jay-Z said, "May the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows." By having the least productive, most uninspired day possible, you've basically guaranteed yourself an amazing day tomorrow. Sure, the logic behind it isn't the best, but whatever. You can't win 'em all. Barbosa is a junior majoring in journalism from Leawood. For more hilarity, follow him on Twitter @AIBARBROSA. LIFESTYLE Procrastination: not all bad for you It is late at night but you are still awake working on your project. You have already had several mugs of coffee and the one you are drinking now is not the last one. Your deadline is tomorrow but you still have a lot of work to get done. Not surprisingly, you are beginning to feel drowsy. You know you should have done your assignment before. You know you had the time to do it. Time you spent maybe on the Internet, maybe on video games or maybe just hanging around. If you are like most college students, the situation described has happened with you at least a couple thousand times. Procrastination has won, one more time. I am pretty good at managing my time now, but I was a huge procrastinator. I peaked during my first semester of college. I had a lot of trouble getting my homework done and forgot test dates (a couple of friends still make fun of me because I arrived late for an Italian test I did not know about). Although we do not tend to take it very seriously, and it is usually not more than a Facebook-talk topic, procrastination is kind of a big deal. The author of "The Procrastination Equation," Piers Steel, estimates that the costs of procrastination in the workplace amount to more than $1 trillion in the United States. But evidences of procrastination are also present in the academic world. The signs are all over campus: students watching YouTube videos at the computer labs, your roommate texting you jokes during classes, and dozens of more or less hopeless students winging it at Anschutz library right around 3 a.m. By Arnobio Morelix amorelix@kansan.com After spending half of my college life working on it, I learned a lot of techniques that helped me get more things done in less time. But there is a single trick that has been extremely important to me. I hope it can also help you. The single technique that has helped me the most is the one Piers Steel calls "productive procrastination." It suggests that if you are putting off a big task and cannot find the motivation to do it, you should do smaller tasks, as not urgent, but still useful. For instance, you might not feel the motivation to write that long Western Civ essay right now, but maybe you can knock off some of the math homework, practice your Spanish or do grocery shopping. These smaller tasks are not as important as the big task, but they are still required, and are probably a better use of our time than browsing through Facebook timelines or watching prank videos on YouTube (though those could spark creativity). Of course, engaging in "productive procrastination" is not as good as non-procrastination. But it makes us much better off at the end of the day than if you did nothing at all. Give it a shot.

"I would've liked to see something that is more attractive in materiality," Sosinski said. "I would have liked something that makes it a known center of KU and that it had shade for sure." — Edited by Hannah Wise FOOD KU Dining to offer kosher options TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 18,2012 IXIN LI editor@kansan.com It has never been easy to get kosher or halal food at dining halls or cafeterias on campus. Now that is about to change. lesha Kincaid, the president of Muslim Student Association, said that it is inconvenient because Muslim students can't go to dining halls on campus or most restaurants in Lawrence. "When we go out and eat we usually go vegetarian or some people eat fish," Kincaid said. "If I'm going to eat meat, at least I want to make sure that the animals are slaughtered humanly and they were in clean environment." Kincaid said many Muslim students chose to cook at home even though they were busy with school. Jewish students face similar challenges. Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel from the Rohr Chabad Center for Jewish Life said there are about 800 Jewish students at the University and many of them cook kosher food in their kosher kitchens at home. "Can you imagine you are hungry and there's no way to buy a good meal on campus and this is your home, this is where you live and where you go to school?" Tiechtel said. "If you can buy a kosher lunch or kosher hot dogs on campus that would be so mean-inful to many Jewish students." In the past two years, Tiechtel has worked with dining services to make kosher food available. Now KU Dining Services is in the process of designing food selections to accommodate special dietary needs at Mrs. E's for the next academic year. Sheryl Kidwell, the assistant director of KU Dining Services, said they are trying to make it financially feasible to all the other customers. She said that overhaven 29 years at KU Dining Services, students have become more willing to try different cuisine. "We are more than food, we are dining experience," Kidwell said. "The new design would not only be beneficial to those students who have religious preferences but also it's an educational experience and opportunity for other students." Kosher, food prepared according to the Jewish guidelines, and halal, the food prepared by Islamic guidelines, share many common ingredients. Both prohibit swine and most reptile meat. All seafood is considered halal; but shellfish is prohibited in kosher foods. Tiechtel said halal and kosher are different but when a product is suitable as kosher, 99 percent of the time it's going to work as halal as well. the number of universities that provide halal or kosher food in the U.S. is limited. According to Hillel org, the website of the world largest Jewish campus organization, 101 out of 938 universities and colleges provide full kosher meal plans for students. Kosher meals are not available in 110 colleges and the rest serve kosher on Jewish holidays like Shabbat. A 2010 report by Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America, "Halal Food Options in U.S. Higher Education Campus Cafeteria," shows that among the 135 universities surveyed, nearly 12 percent serve full or partial halal meal plans, about 11 percent serve halal during Ramadan or special occasions and the rest don't provide any halal food. Kidwell said KU Dining Services will conduct a survey and focus groups with students within the next few weeks to learn what students expect at the special dietary section. Tiechtel said students appreciate the respect and support of KU Dining Services and the openness of the University, especially since making kosher food requires a lot of effort. "I think it's a very good lesson for Lawrence community of the importance of being considerate and driving extra miles for the needs of another person, regardless of the difference of each other." Tiechtel said. The Market at Kansas Union will serve kosher hot dogs every Wednesday beginning Oct. 3. Dining Services will conduct a trial run on Wednesday.

Space shuttle departure postponed NASA's youngest shuttle was supposed to depart Florida's Kennedy Space Center on Monday for its permanent museum home in Los Angeles. But stormy weather along the Gulf of Mexico nixed the travel plans. NASA aimed for a Tuesday bon voyage. But that ended up getting scrapped as well. Endeavour's departure is now set for Wednesday morning. It's bolted to the top of a modified jumbo jet. Eandevour was supposed to stop off in Houston, home to Mission Control, and fly low over NASA facilities en route. Now all that is in jeopardy.

In Kansas, once residents reach age 65 they must renew their licenses every four years instead of six as they did when they were younger. The issue of older drivers has emerged again after a 100-year-old driver backed over a group of Los Angeles schoolchildren last month. An Associated Press review of state laws nationally show a hodgepodge of rules, reflecting scientific uncertainty and public unease over when it's time to stop driving. Kansas doesn't have any pending changes to driving requirements, but programs exist to help keep older drivers current. Transit services are also growing, providing rides for those who have given up their keys.

Zach Randle jumped out of his bulky armored vehicle in southern Afghanistan for what he hoped would be the last time. While some service members go home, others are busy preparing thousands of vehicles and other equipment for shipment. It's a laborious task that's more difficult than it was in Iraq because of landlocked Afghanistan's tough mountainous terrain, lack of roads and its mountain passes that will soon be covered with snow. "I don't want to see it again. It's been through a lot," Randle said of the 19-ton (17-metric ton) vehicle that was his ride — and sometimes his bed — during a six-month deployment to volatile Kandahar province. "It protected us, but I'm just in a hurry to turn it in to be closer to going home," said Randle, who has now left Afghanistan as part of President Barack Obama's draw-down of 33,000 U.S. troops by Sept. 30. The pullout — 10,000 last year and 23,000 more this year — will be finished within days. That will leave 68,000 American troops in this country to fight militants and help prepare Afghan forces to take over security nationwide. Between now and the end of 2014, when most U.S. troops will have left, the Americans will move an estimated 50,000 vehicles, including tens of thousands of Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles like the one Randle drove into the equipment yard. They'll also ship an estimated 100,000 metal containers — each about 20 feet long. End-to-end, the containers would stretch nearly 400 miles (600 kilometers). Shipping has picked up in recent months, as base closure teams have spread out across Afghanistan to help soldiers sort, pack and load up their gear. As of the beginning of September, 208 U.S. and NATO coalition bases have been closed, 310 have been transferred to the Afghan government and 323 remain open, according to the coalition. The packing up is going on as the war still rages. Just since Friday, insurgents attacked a base in neighboring Helmand province, killing two U.S. Marines and destroying six Harrier fighter jets. Afghan police gunned down four more American service members, and a NATO airstrike mistakenly killed eight Afghan women looking for firewood. As American forces keep fighting, thousands of civilian and military personnel will continue prepping vehicles for flight, taking tedious inventory of bullets, night scopes, radios and even recreational baseball bats. They'll also clean and crate tons of other gear, anything from bags of nails to generators. Brig. Gen. Kristin French, commanding general of the Joint Sustainment Command in Afghanistan, likens the teams to "wedding planners" helping to organize the move. "We are trying to take the burden off the war fighter and give it to our folks who have the mission to do it." French said at her office at Kandahar Air Field. "If we busy trying to clean up our backyards, we're not doing what our focus is and that is to continue to transition security to the Afghan security forces and partner with them." Vehicles are being gathered in Kandahar, Bagram Air Field near Kabul and Camp Barmal in northern Afghanistan. Containers are being staged for shipment at nine locations around the country, she said. Some equipment is taken by truck, train, ships or planes to military depots in the United States. MRAPS are rolled onto airplanes. Some Humvee sit in shipping containers for a test trip on a railroad leaving Afghanistan via Uzbekistan to the north. Other equipment will also go north through Central Asia or else be trucked into Pakistan — some of it down to the port of Karachi, where it will sail back to the United States or other destinations. Various items will stay in Afghanistan to be used by the Americans troops not going home — yet. Still other materiel will be transferred to the Afghan government, tossed out, taken to a scrap heap or shipped to other countries for use by U.S. forces. For now, Randle and several dozen other U.S. Army soldiers from the 4th Brigade Combat Team 82nd Airborne Division, based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, are happy to get rid of their vehicles and all the equipment. "Most of these soldiers will turn in their equipment tonight and they will fly home within the next three days." ANIMALS Doctors use chemotherapy to treat orangutan with cancer ASSOCIATED PRESS JUNG ISU Jungle Island volunteer Linda Jacobts comforts Peanut, one of the orangutans from a private zoo, as she is treated with R-CHOP therapy, a combination of drugs used in chemotherapy to treat her aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — Peanut is an 8-year-old orangutan and a star attraction at Miami's Jungle Island. These days she also has a team of cancer doctors huddling around her, watching as the chemo drip flows into her veins. Peanut, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is not the first great ape to be treated for cancer like a human. An orangutan with advanced stage cancer at the National Zoo in Washington had surgery to remove a cancerous intestinal tumor in 2000. In 2009, two female gorillas at the North Carolina Zoo underwent radiation therapy. All three cases involved much older apes, in their 30s or 40s, and all had to be euthanized. Dr. Ryan DeVoe, senior veterinarian at the North Carolina Zoo where the two female gorillas lived, said he has found no record of other great apes being treated with chemo. But he also noted that But while other animals are treated with chemotherapy, it's not common among orangutans. DeVoe said another unique aspect of Peanut's case is that, unlike the older apes, she has age on her side for either being cured or at least experiencing remission and living normally and comfortably for a long period of time. Peanut's diagnosis came by chance when her veterinary team found she had an intestinal obstruction and further testing revealed the cancer. The private zoo had no board certified veterinary oncologist on staff and turned to the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. A team there, along with UM's Division of Comparative Pathology, which specializes in wildlife, confirmed the diagnosis and is now providing guidance for Peanut's treatment. The orangutan has been undergoing chemotherapy to treat the aggressive lymphoma since August. one patient before," said Dr. Joseph Rosenblatt, one of the doctors treating Peanut. "We don't know what to expect and yet we're intensely curious and potentially hopeful that we can help the animal." many cases involving great apes with cancer are not reported or documented. "When the animal looks at you in the eye, it's both a sympathetic as well as a look that radiates intelligence," he said. Working on an orangutan is a first for Rosenblatt, who has never worked on an animal larger than a mouse. "I've never had the same combination of fear and enthusiasm in Peanut has a fraternal twin named Pumpkin, a rarity in the animal kingdom. They are the youngest of six orangutans at Jungle Island and a hit with park visitors. Both are highly intelligent and have been taught to use sign language and an iPad to communicate with their trainers, but they have distinct personalities. Peanut is welcoming and demanding, offering her doctor a twig in return for his water bottle. Pumpkin is quiet and her hair hangs low over her forehead. Pumpkin has not been diagnosed with the disease. ASSOCIATED PRESS THE WAR IN CEYLAN Soldiers from the Egyptian Army gather at night to discuss the situation in Ceylan, a city that has been under attack by insurgent forces. The military is working to regain control and protect the area. U. S. soldiers arrive to a yard where they will turn in their vehicles and equipment at the Kandahar Air Field south of Kabul, Afghanistan. The U.S. military has started the process of moving out thousands of MRAPS, Humvees and other vehicles as part of the drawdown of 23,000 U.S. troops by the end of September. kansan COUPONS Helping you maintain your student budget kansan COUPONS Helping you maintain your student budget KIM'S SEWING AND ALTERATIONS $10 hems 20% OFF any other alteration NO EXPIRATION ON DISCOUNTS! kimsalterations.lawrence@yahoo.com | 2201 W 25th St. | (785) 842-6812 MON/TUES 10am-3pm, THU/FRI 10am-5pm, SAT 10am-2pm, WED/SUN Closed.

Superhero movies improve comic book sales NATHAN FORDYCE nfor@kansan.com Hollywood's recent obsession with superheroes has boosted popularity of their comic book origins. Three of the summer's most popular movies, The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-man, created a rise in readership for their respective comic book series. . Craig Klotz, the Free State Comicon organizer, which happened earlier this month, said Hollywood has had a huge impact on the paper version of the comics. "The current crop of Marvel and DC Films has helped, like the Dark Knight Rises and the Avengers," Klotz said. "And it's not just Hollywood films, it's TV too. Walking Dead is the hottest comic book on the market." According to IMDB, over the summer the Avengers made over $620 million, the Dark Knight Rises made over $440 million and the Amazing Spider-Man made over $260 million while in theaters in the United States. Not only was the Avengers the highest grossing comic book film of all-time, it was also the third highest grossing film to date, behind Avatar and Titanic. The Dark Night Rises ranks third in comic book films behind the Avengers and the Dark Night. The Dark Knight Rises also was the sixth highest grossing film of all-time in the United States. Klotz, who also sells comic books at Comicon, said has introduced action heroes to new audiences on the big screen. They have become interested in reading the original comic books and progress through the chronicles and progression of the hero. Jai Nitz, a film professor at the University of Kansas, has worked for DC Comics. Marvel and Disney producing comics and films. He said that people today do not know what it's like to not have super hero films because they have at least one film every summer and multiple throughout the whole year. Nitz, like Klotz, acknowledges the success of films have increased the intrigue level on actual comic books, especial Marvel comics. He said comics book movies have an advantage over other series because they often have color patterns that repeat in each movie. For example Iron Man follows a red and gold theme while Spider- Man uses blue and red. Viewers easily become attached to these patterns. "The thing that is awesome about comic books and is that they can endure the test of time," Nitz said. - Edited by Luke Ranker CRIME LSU latest college campus to evacuate after bomb threat THE BLASTING IS ALREADY HAPPENING. 1 ASSOCIATED PRESS Officers with a dog talk after searching Evangeline Hall in Baton Rouge, La., where a bomb threat was received Monday. ASSOCIATED PRESS Students, faculty and staff evacuate LSU's main campus in Baton Rouge, La., after an emergency text message system was sent on Monday following a bomb threat. GET HIRED SEPT.20 12-4 PM BUSINESS CAREER FAIR BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE REQUIRED 5th FLOOR KANSAS UNION KU BUSINESS CAREER SERVICES CENTER The University of Kansas ALL MAJORS WELCOME business.ku.edu/careerfair GET SOCIAL KUBUSFAIR ASSOCIATED PRESS BATON ROUGE, La. — Thousands of students, professors and workers were evacuated from Louisiana State University's main campus Monday following a bomb threat, school officials said. Chancellor William Jenkins called for the evacuation because of a threat phoned into 911 about 10:32 a.m., university spokeswoman Kristine Calongne said. The caller didn't direct the threat to any specific area of the campus. The university put out a statement on its website announcing the evacuation an hour later, then distributed the information through text messages, emails and social media. There are 30,000 students, professors and university employees located on the Baton Rouge campus, but it was not clear how many were there at the time of the threat. "Monday is a very big class day, so I think the majority of that group was probably on campus at the time," Calongne said. "A bomb threat has been reported on the LSU campus," the statement said. "Please evacuate as calmly and quickly as possible." By mid-afternoon, the LSU campus was largely deserted and roads were closed, though some people and cars were still moving around. Police officers with dogs combed through buildings, including the computer services center. state police bomb technicians were on the scene, said Louisiana State Police Capt. Doug Cain. He said authorities were talking to their counterparts in Texas, North Dakota and Ohio to see if there were any similarities to threats universities in those states received "It's kind of been an epidemic. This has been the fourth in a week. But it's better to be safe than sorry," said communications disorders graduate student Joseph Vera. Vera and a fellow graduate student were working in a language clinic with seven children near the edge of campus when they received the text message about the bomb threat. The pair walked the children across the street to an offcampus restaurant and they called the children's parents. The university sent a follow-up message to students at 1:36 p.m. telling them not to return. Catherine Lacoste, an 18-yearold freshman and architecture major, said she received notification University officials in those states also evacuated their campuses, but police found no explosives.

Miller headed to a nearby coffee shop right off campus to finish her homework. Calongne said she doesn't know of any other time the entire flagship university campus was evacuated. "I've been at LSU since 1990 if you count my student years and I don't ever recall us having an evacuation of the whole campus," she said. + --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2012 BIG 12 FOOTBALL PAGE 9 Oklahoma tries to prove worth against K-State NORMAN, Okla. - It's time for No. 6 Oklahoma to be put to the test. ASSOCIATED PRESS After getting nudged down the rankings in the first three weeks of the season, the Sooners (2-0) emerge from an off week to play No.15 Kansas State (3-0) on Saturday night in Norman. In front of a national television audience, it'll be a chance for Oklahoma to prove it deserves to be ranked higher — it was at No. 4 in the preseason poll. It could provide more ammunition for voters who questioned the Sooners enough to bump Oregon, Georgia and Florida State ahead of them already this season. "I just know that the intensity this week is going to be a little bit different," left tackle Lane Johnson said Monday. The Sooners were anything but spectacular in an opening 24-7 win at UTEP, putting the game away with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. After that, the Sooners cruised to an easy 69-13 win against Florida A&M of the Championship Subdivision. With a week off, they've made it to late September without the country knowing what this largely remade team is all about. An overhauled receiving corps, a shuffled offensive line that's already given up seven sacks and a defense retooled under new coordinator Mike Stoops will all get stiffer competition against the Wildcats. "Now we're getting into our Big 12 Conference and we'll see how we've progressed through the year and these last two games," quarterback Landry Jones said. Coach Bob Stoops would only concede that he'll know more about his team "to a degree" after facing a Top 25 opponent. Even while watching Kansas State play three games, he found it hard to gauge this week's opponent. The Wildcats obliterated Miami 52-13, but only led Missouri State by seven and North Texas by eight heading into the fourth quarter. "What do you know yet? In the end, I think it takes a lot more than three games to really know." Stoops said. "I think you're still working through some pieces and trying to improve." The Sooners practiced four days last week, taking off Friday through Sunday, getting some early looks at Kansas State while trying to shore up their own issues — pass blocking on offense, eliminating the big play on defense and preventing another blocked punt on special teams. 26 SOONERS 18 "Our focus has definitely changed a little bit," Johnson said. "We know we've got to play better and I think once we start firing on all cylinders and playing to the best of our ability. I think things will definitely show out there on Saturdays." Under Stoops, Oklahoma is 14-0 against Top 25 opponents on Owen Field and has won all of those games by double digits except the last time the Wildcats brought a ranked team to Norman in 2001 and lost 38-37. The Sooners have won those games, including visits from top-ranked Nebraska in 2000 and No. 2 Texas Tech in 2008, by a combined 602-218 — or by an average score of 43-16. "I don't think there's anything that we do. As we kind of work through the week, we like to call it the process of winning, is pretty standard how we do it," Stoops said. "Hopefully, I'd like to think that our guys' attention to detail and focus is the same. But sometimes, for whatever reason, some games here we've played pretty well. I don't think there's any exact science to it." 8. 在图 15-1 所示的网络拓扑中，网络设备 A 和 B 的功能是隔离。网络设备 C 的功能是提供数据传输服务。网络设备 D 的功能是提供安全保护功能。网络设备 E 的功能是提供网络通信功能。网络设备 F 的功能是提供网络监控功能。网络设备 G 的功能是提供网络管理功能。网络设备 H 的功能是提供网络安全功能。网络设备 I 的功能是提供网络故障检测功能。网络设备 J 的功能是提供网络故障恢复功能。网络设备 K 的功能是提供网络故障诊断功能。网络设备 L 的功能是提供网络故障预防功能。网络设备 M 的功能是提供网络故障预防功能。网络设备 N Oklaima running back Damien Williams is taken down by UTEP defensive lineman James Davidson (18) during an NCAA college football game in El Paso, Texas.

ASSOCIATED PRESS OU vs. R MLB White Sox top Tigers 5-4 in make-up game ASSOCIATED PRESS Chicago increased its lead in the AL Central to three games. CHICAGO — Omar Infante's throwing error on a potential double play helped Chicago scored two runs in the fifth inning Monday and the White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 in a pivotal makeup game. Nate Jones (8-0) pitched two 2-3 innings of one-hit relief and the White Sox won their fourth straight game. The game had been postponed by rain last Thursday and Monday's makeup was the final meeting of the season between the two front runners in the division. rant throw that got by Prince Fielder as two runs scored, giving Chicago the lead. Trailing 4-3, the White Sox loaded the bases for a third straight inning in the fifth, driving out Detroit starter Doug Fister (9-9). Addison Reed, the last of three relievers in the ninth, got the final out for his 27th save in 31 chances. Detroit won the season series 12-6 and captured nine of the final 11 games between the teams, including two of three last week before the four-game series finale was postponed. Each team has 16 games remaining. Chicago heads to Kansas City and Anaheim to finish out this week while Detroit goes home to face the Athletics and Twins. When Dayan Vicchio hit a one-out grounder to short, the "Tigers" tried to turn the inning-ending double play, but Alex Rios slid into second baseman Infante and forced an er- Neither starter got out of the fifth. Jose Quintana, who beat the Tigers a week ago in his previous start, gave up seven hits and four runs in four. Delmon Young drove in three runs for the Tigers with a pair of singles, but Detroit couldn't hold on to an early 3-0 lead. Tigers pitcher walked six and hit two batters. Chicago loaded the bases again in the eighth and was on the verge of adding an insurance run when Adam Dunn hit a fly ball to left with one out. But before Gordon Beckham could cross the plate, Dewayne Wise was thrown out trying to go from second to third — a double play that ended the inning. And Fister, who defeated the White Sox last Tuesday, gave up eight hits and five runs — four — earned, also in four innings. Avisail Garcia, Gerald Laird and Austin Jackson hit consecutive singles to open the third for a 1-0 Detroit lead. After a sacrifice, Quintana intentionally walked Miguel Cabrera to the bases. He then struck out Prince Fielder, but Young hit a two-run single to put the Tigers up three. The White Sox had three singles off Fister to load the bases in the bottom half but the 6-foot-8 right-hander struck out Kevin Youkilis and Dunn to end the threat. Chicago tied it in the fourth when Beckham was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Wise had a two-run single. 4 MONTE 51 Young followed with another RBI single to put the Tigers ahead 4-3. Cabrera led off the fifth with a double and Fielder was ruled safe at first when Dunn fielded his grounder and flipped to Quintana covering. Chicago manager Robin Ventura came out for an explanation from first base umpire Mike Muchlinski and replays appeared to show that Quintana beat Fielder to the bag by a step.

Oklahoma (2-0) Oklahoma took a break this week and will go into Week 4 with the first ranked conference battle of the season against Kansas State. The Sooners defense, who have given up 20 points in two games, will be tested by the Wildcats this week. WV West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen has to be pleased with what he is seeing out of senior quarterback Geno Smith. Smith has the second highest quarterback rating in the nation and has yet to be sacked or picked off this season. 2. West Virginia (2-0) C 3. Kansas State (3-0) Senior quarterback Collin Klein has lived up to expectations so far this season. Klein is viewed as a dual-threat quarterback and opposing defensive coordinators have not found a solution to the Wildcats' versatile offense. 4. Texas (3-0) Texas coach Mack Brown got more than what he wanted from his Longhorns against Ole Miss this past weekend. Texas stomped Ole Miss and scored on multiple possessions each quarter and finished with 66 points. The Longhorns have the eight best scoring offense in the nation going into conference play. TCU HORNED FROGS 5. Texas Christian (3-0) OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY 6. Oklahoma State (2-1) Oklahoma State rebounded after suffering a loss to Arizona in Week 2. The Cowboys lead the nation in net total yards on offense and are climbing their way back to the top 25. While junior running back Joseph Randle is good, the Cowboys will need to limit their turnovers to construct an even better offense. BAYLOR BEARS 7. Baylor (2-0) senior quarterback Nick Florence pleasantly surprised coach Art Briles. Going into the final non-conference game of the season, Florence has an offense full of viable weapons to better prepare him for conference matches later this season. T 8. Texas Tech (3-0) Despite not being highly ranked, Texas Tech is the only team that has won their games by a big margin. The Red Raiders have won their three games by a margin of 121 points. Their true test comes when they play against other Big 12 teams, in which spectators will see if they can continue to post these kinds of numbers. STATE 9. Iowa State (3-0) Iowa State has had three different games, but have come away victorious in all three of their non-conference games. Coach Paul Rhodes would like consistency out of his team as they get ready to play Texas Tech, a team close to their level. KU 10. Kansas (1-2) Kansas has more losses than any team in the Big 12 after Week 3. Coach Charlie Weis has addressed the holes with his team, but they have not followed through by executing.

The league that dominated headlines for a variety of reasons during the offseason, not least of which was whether it would continue to exist, has been a blip on the national radar once games finally started against a dismal lineup of non-conference weaklings. Oklahoma State scoring 84 points against Savannah State. West Virginia's Geno Smith throwing for 411 yards and 5 TDs against James Madison. Games against the likes of Western Illinois, Sam Houston State, Florida A&M and Grambling State over the past couple of weeks. "They're an excellent team, so the preparation for them is always complicated," said Sooners coach Bob Stoops, whose team will have had two weeks to prepare for the Wildcats. That all changes Saturday night, when sixth-ranked Oklahoma hosts No. 15 Kansas State in the first true showdown of the new-look conference. It's a game that should help decide the league champion, and also give people outside the Big 12 a reason to start tuning in. Not much to get excited about. They appeared rather uninspired in a season-opening victory at UTEP, then routed Florida A&M two weeks ago, leaving Stoops to wonder whether his team is ready for a real test. Still, it's a difficult situation for the Sooners to be in. Red Lyon Tavern The offseason overhaul of the Big 12 resulted in the loss of Missouri and Texas A&M, two teams already saddled with losses in the SEC, and the addition of No. 8 West Virginia — the reigning Big East champion — and 17th-ranked TCU, the defending champions of the Mountain West. "They look like an excellent football team. They're doing an excellent job of running the football, like always, and using the quarterback to run it," Stoops said. "It'll be a challenge." It's just the start of challenges awaiting the Sooners. Both of them will see the Sooners down the road, along with everyone else in the round-robin Big 12. Oklahoma also has a non-conference game against No. 11 Notre Dame on Oct. 27, right in the middle of While the conference has been beating up on punching bags, though, other leagues have played games that warranted more national attention. Florida and Tennessee pitted SEC rivals on the rise the leagues regular meat-grinder. last Saturday, while the Fighting Irish visited then-No. 10 Michigan State. Even top-killed Alabama booted around Michigan in a rare, season-opening showdown between power schools. "Athletically, it's going to get tougher. It's going to get harder and harder in the Big 12." Now, the Big 12 will be getting into the act, and Oklahoma and Kansas State aren't the only conference schools ramping up the difficulty this weekend. Baylor takes on Louisiana-Monroe, the school giving the SEC all kinds of fits. TCU steps out of league play after a战 win against Kansas to take on Virginia. The jayhawks visit Northern Illinois and the Mountainers play a regional game against Maryland. The feeble early competition for DANA HOLGORSEN West Virginia football coach Second, the new members in the league have made life much more difficult. Missouri and Texas A&M were a combined 9-9 in conference games and barely finished above .500 last season, while West Virginia won 10 games and TCU is coming off another 11-win season. Finally, the larger footprint of the Big 12 — nearly 1,500 miles separate Texas Tech and West Virginia — has left teams scheduling regionally out of conference. So the Red Raiders are playing nearby New Mexico, Texas is making a short trip to Ole Miss, and the Mountain the Big 12 can be traced to a few reasons. First, the league jockeyed its schedule relatively late to make room for the new additions, which left programs such as Oklahoma scrounging for non-conference games against the likes of UTEP. the Mountainers scheduled a game against Virginia school James Madison in suburban Washington, D.C. "That James Madison thing over in D.C. was great for our fans. Attendance was awesome, fan support was awesome", West Virginia coach Dana Holgarsen said. "We want to play regional games." The byproduct, though, is gaudy statistics and not much else. Smith is an astonishing 66 of 75 for 734 yards and nine touchdowns in a pair of blowout wins, and is second nationally in total offense. Oklahoma State leads the nation at better than 686 yards per game, while West Virginia, Texas Tech are Baylor also among the top 10 in the country. Nice stats, sure — but not the best prep for what's to come. "It's going to get tougher this week. Athletically, it's going to get tougher." Holgarsen conceded. "It's going to get harder and harder in the Big 12." 1.

FACT FACT OF THE DAY espn.com Royals Opening Day starters for the past four years have been Bruce Chen, Luke Hochevar, Zack Greinke and Giff Meche. TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: When was the last year that the Royals were in the playoffs? A: 1985, when they won the World Series. — espn.com --- THE MORNING BREW Lack of strong pitchers consistently hinder Royals The Kansas City Royals are close very close. T Over the past couple years, professional baseball scouts have consistently regarded the Kansas City Royals minor league system as one of the most talented in all of Major League Baseball. We have seen many big names, such as Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas, successfully make the jump to the major leagues. By Jackson Long jlong@kansan.com Position by position, the Royals stack up well with the rest of the major leagues. However, a lack of strong pitching has haunted them in recent years. We'll break down what the Royals have now, and what they will need to do to take the next step to become a contender. Salvador Perez is on his way to becoming an elite major league catcher. After missing action due to injury through late June, Perez has hit .311 and smashed 11 homers in 63 games. Only 22 years old, Perez will be a cornerstone defensively and with the bat in the Royals lineup for years to come. Eric Hosmer, 22, has bounced back from a dismal start to raise his batting average to .240. Hosmer hit .287 during August and will need to continue hitting well for the Royals to have success next year. One of the biggest question marks for the Royals is at second base. Chris Getz has spent some time in the slot, but many see the future being Johnny Givotella. Regardless, the club needs to find a quality defensive player to fill in the middle infield. Outside of pitching, this may be the Royals biggest positional need. Mike Moustakas is the future at third base for the Royals. Moustakas, or "Moose," has played a solid third base and has shown power in his first full major league season. Topping 20 home runs, the 24-year-old is another young, quality player that will be a staple in the Royals line up down the road. The Royals may have the best young shortstop in the American League. Alcides Escobar, 25, has displayed the capabilities to make plays no other player can make. His range at shortstop and defensive abilities are top tier in baseball. This season, Escobar has hit nearly .300. If he can hit more than .280, he will instantly become the most valuable shortstop in the American League. The outfield is lined with quality young players as well. From left to right, Alex Gordon, Lorenzo Cain and Jeff Francoeur provide a lethal outfield defense. Excluding Cain, who missed time with injury, Gordon and Francoerir both lead the league in their positions with outfield assists. With Royals minor league prospect and hitting sensation Wil Myers in the waiting, the outfield will be a young unit driving the Royals future success. KU Pitching has been the clear point of weakness for the Royals. The young prospects have arrived in the field. However, the ones on the mound have not. Luke Hochevar has been a bust of a first round pick. The opening day starter this year was Bruce Chen. Needless to say, this is the group holding the boys in blue back. Waiting in the minors are a few pitchers considered to be top prospects in baseball. Mike Montgomery and Jake Odorizzi are two of the big names. Once these players develop, we will see the Royals have a true chance at a post season run. Until then, Royals fan, be cautiously optimistic. The Royals have the potential, and it's certainly close. But we've been expecting break out years since 2009. Time to step it up Royals. Kansas City is waiting. — Edited by Laken Rapier This week in athletics Tuesday Wednesday men's Golf Golfweek's Conference Challenge All Day Burlington, Iowa Women's Golf Dale McNamara Invitational All Day Tulsa, Okla.

There's little doubt that Jerry Sandusky faces a long prison sentence. In a few weeks, he'll find out how just how long. Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts of sex abuse involving 10 A judge announced Monday he will sentence Sandusky on Oct. 9, nearly four months after the retired assistant football coach was convicted in the child molestation scandal that brought shame to Penn State. Given his age and the serious nature of the crimes, Sandusky is likely to receive a sentence that will keep the 68-year-old in prison for life. He is jailed pending sentencing and maintains his innocence. Judge John Cleland scheduled a hearing for 9 a.m. at the courthouse in Bellefonte to determine if Sandusky should be classified as a sexually violent predator, a designation that subjects a convict to intense reporting requirements upon release. An assessment board has recommended Sandusky for the designation, though it's expected to have little practical effect since he stands to die in prison. Sandusky will be sentenced immediately afterward. Cleland ordered defense attorneys and prosecutors to submit written statements "intended to aid the court in the imposition of sentence" by Oct. 5. Tom Kline, a lawyer representing a young man who testified during Sandusky's trial that he was fondled in a fondle school shower in 2001, said Monday he expects his client either to testify at the sentencing hearing or supply a statement to the court. "We expect to provide what is requested by the attorney's general's office to assure justice is achieved in Mr. Sandusky's sentencing." Kline said in an email. Nils Frederiksen, a spokesman in the attorney general's office, said prosecutors will make a sentencing recommendation to the judge. Sandusky's attorney, Joe Amen- dola, did not immediately return a phone call and email seeking comment. A long sentence, like a conviction, can help victims feel they were believed, said Kristen Houser of the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape. But she added that justice achieved through the court system is not a cure-all. "Having him convicted and having him sentenced does not alter one iota the daily baggage that he inflicted upon them that they have to figure out how to manage every day for the rest of their lives," she said. Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, hired by school trustees to conduct an investigation into the university's handling of abuse complaints against Sandusky, concluded that Paterno, ousted President Graham Spanier and two other high-level school officials concealed a 2001 allegation against Sandusky to protect Penn State from bad publicity.

After the debacle against Rice, this was the game where the Jayhawks could have lost control of their season. But that never happened. This team showed something that was not seen at all last year; toughness, and the will to compete the entire game. Edited by Laken Rapier If those two things happen, then a road win isn't out of the question for Kansas when it travels to Northern Illinois late this week. Yes, TCU did gain 487 yards of offense on the lajhawk defense, but that wasn't the number that mattered most. There was another num ber that meant much more: four. Four was the number of turn-overs the Jayhawks were able to force the Horned Frogs to commit. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Kansas had shown the ability in its first two games to force fumbles and grab interceptions. But this was a different situation. TCU is an efficient offense that uses original formations, making it a challenge for any defense to create opportunities for its offence. Yet, somehow the Jayhawks managed to force four turnovers, a majority of which created by the their star defensive players will to never give up. The defensive intensity that we saw Saturday must continue and the offense has to figure out some sort of consistency. Sure there was the play where the ball rolled past TCU junior quarterback Casey Pachall's legs almost into jayhawk territory before senior defensive tackle Josh Williams recovered it. However, the other turnovers had more to do with defensive force. The fact is that the defense created turnovers; just not in an ideal area of the field. They displayed a bend-dont-break style of defense, which a team cannot rely on all year to be successful. Whether it was senior safety Bradley McDougald forcing two separate fumbles, or senior defensive tackle Toben Opurum making a last-second hit to propel the ball into the end zone, forcing a fumble of his own and a touchback. Despite all the turnovers, the offense still has to put points on the board when given opportunities. Playing TCU's stout 4-2-5 defense made a difference, but when opportunities are given you can't settle for field goals or no points at all. That's why the defense isn't the main concern for this team going forward. If the offense cannot find a consistent rhythm throughout the game, being competitive will not happen. The running game is there, but we only saw sophomore Tony Pierson and junior Taylor Cox combine for twenty carries. The most effective part of the offense was abandoned and the passing game took over in the second half. All facets of the offensive game must work together. So as the Jayhawks prepare for their first road game of the year, it's clear what needs to happen for a victory. DEFENSIVE SURPRISE KU Coach Charlie Weis talks with a referee during Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium against Texas Christian University. HAYMON 33 Junior cornerback Tyler Patton and freshman cornerback Trey Williams tackle TCU sophomore wide receiver Brandon Carter during the match against TCU Saturday afternoon. Kansas was defeated by TCU 6-20. TCU had six total tackles. TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN Turnovers show defensive promise despite lack of offensive reward FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com The preconceived notion going into Saturday's game was that Texas Christian University would open up their first Big 12 game with a blowout win over Kansas. But the jayhawks defense limited TCU's high-powered offense to 10 points in the first half and trailed by only four points going into halftime. Kansas coach Charlie Weis was pleased with how his defense played as they slowed down TCU junior quarterback Casey Pachall and the rest of the offense. The Jayhawks defense finished by giving up 20 points, and leaving the offense plenty of opportunities to cut into the deficit. Weis said that every turnover was a bie play. "At least three of them that I can recall were in the scoring zone," Weis said. "That's keeping points off the board and that's why at the end there's still a chance." "Just watching the work that we put in all week, I'm not surprised that we were able to compete." But Kansas did not take advantage of those four takeaways, and struggled to move the football on offense. Regardless of the situation, the defense battled and surprised people with their ability to keep pace with TCU's offense. Even with a top 25 team coming into Lawrence,rankings and media praise was the last thing on the mind of every Jayhawk. "I feel like everybody has to just believe that we can compete with whoever they put out on the field," senior defensive end Toben Opurum said. "For me it's just another team in a different color. I don't look at it as 'this is a top 25 team' or 'that's the best quarterback.' That's not what matters to me. What matters is what we do on our队." Kansas allowed 487 yards of total offense in Saturday's loss. TCU had no problems moving the football on Kansas until the red zone, where the Horned Frogs turned the ball over four times. "When you get into that red zone situation, that is a time where as a defense you have to step up the most because you don't want to give up a touchdown," senior defensive end Josh Williams said. "At that point, your back is, literally, against the wall and you have to play harder." Kansas has collected 12 takeaways on the season. While they are encouraged by being one of the best teams in the nation in forcing turnovers, Opurum feels that even after giving TCU a hard time, the defense still has room for improvement. "As a defense, we took steps forward," Opurum said. "But it's obviously not enough with them scoring 20 points. We've got to keep them under what our offense does. If our offense scores six points, we've got to keep them under that. That's just the mind-set anyone is going to have on defense." DAVE CAMPO defensive coordinator Prior to the start of the season, defensive coordinator Dave Campo stressed the importance of creating turnovers and giving the offense a chance to take over the field and score. With a dozen turnovers under the defense's belt, the team has done what Campo has emphasized the most, and he wants to keep preaching what they are doing well. "He told us to keep playing as hard as we are playing and we are bound to win some games coming up," said sophomore linebacker Ben Heeney. "If we keep forcing turnovers, we're going to be good." Even though the defense was not rewarded for their fumble recoveries, they remain optimistic and feel that things will come together if they continue to fill their holes. The Jayhaws know that after Saturday, teams won't take them as lightly as they did before. The rest of the conference may still have the same mindset that they can beat Kansas, but it won't be as easy as they thought. Campo has coached his players to a point where they can't feel disappointed if they perform well but don't finish with a win. "Most of the guys on this team, they have a lot of confidence in themselves and confidence in what we do. Just watching the work that we put in all week, I'm not surprised that we were able to compete and I think I speak for everybody on the team." - Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk FOOTBALL Defensive coordinator impresses Even with a three-time Super Bowl champion offensive coordinator calling out the plays for Kansas, it's not Charlie Wei that Northern Illinois coach Dave Doren is most fearful of on the Jayhawk's coaching staff. That honor is bestowed upon the lavhawk's defensive coordinator. "Dave Campo is one of the best secondary coaches in college and pro football," Doeren said on a teleconference Monday. "It's the defense and the special teams where you see the most improvement. They have guys who know what they're doing and they are With Kansas tied with Alabama and Mississippi State for the most turnovers in the nation at 12, it's not an invalid claim. Even Weis has given his praise, noting that turnovers became infectious among his defenders. putting their kids in really good positions." It's also helped keep the Jayhawk's defense poised on long drives. "We've given up a lot of yards, but we've been very good at forcing turnovers and we've been good in the red zone." Weis said. "That's a really big bend but don't break mentality." Weis With the completion of their three-game suspensions, junior running back James Sims and junior long-snapper Justin Carnes return to the Jayhawks line- up. Last season against Northern Illinois, Sim played a significant role in Kansas' comeback victory against the Huskies at Memorial Stadium. Sims, last season's leading rusher, was expected to have the bulk of Kansas' carries, but a suspension for driving under the influence cost him three games to start off the year. Sims finished with his most productive game of the season, 110 yards, and two touchdowns on the ground, to complement 49 receiving yards. With the emergence of a strong backfield, junior running back Taylor Cox and sophomore running back Tony Pierson, Sims number of "That was a game we gave away in my opinion," Doeren said. "A lot After going down 21-7 early in the first half Sims rushed for two touchdowns en route to a 45-42 Kansas victory that Doeren remembers all too well. of times when you lose a football game the team that you're playing beats you. It's really tough when you beat yourself and we beat oursest last year." Even though Doeren isn't too worried about the Jayhawk's offensive coordinator, but he does have his qualms with the Kansas backfield. "Their running backs are very skilled," Doeren said. "They are much better than they were a year ago. We know we're going to have to play a lot better to be in this game." touches will vary, all the backs may suffer as a result. Yet Sim's return is a positive for any Jayhawks fan, and a tricky situation for Weis.

But that's OK, he said, because his University education has led to a mechanical engineering job waiting for him after graduation. The cost of attending the University has steadily risen and continues to be highest in the state, said Jack Martin, the director of Strategic Communications for the University, but students are still receiving an affordable education. "The University of Kansas is the flagship research university for the state of Kansas, and as such has opportunities available for students that aren't offered by other institutions." Martin said. While state funding has decreased by 40 percent in the past 13 years, Martin said tuition still remains in the lower quarter compared to national peers. "We want to offer the best education at the most affordable price, which is why we are also in the process of changing how the University does business so that we can reduce administrative costs and devote the savings to teaching and research," Martin said. Nearly half of tuition pays for professors' salaries, said Richard McKinney, budget director for the University. Turner said he has learned a lot frpm his professors, which makes his tuition well-spent. "The more money that goes to faculty, the better professors — in theory — you should have." Turner said. Although the other half of his tuition is allocated to expenses including maintenance, research and support staff. Turner said the price is worth it, despite seeing a rise in student fees since his freshman year. Jamie Branch, a senior from Topeka, said higher tuition should competitively pay for faculty salaries, but that more money should come from the state. "If you pay a certain amount of money, you expect the campus to look nice." Turner said. "It's unfortunate that tuition is increasing for students, but the money has to come from somewhere." Branch said. Andrew Murray, a senior from Olathe, sees his tuition as an investment in the overall brand of the University. He said the traditions and novel campus experience are worth every tuition dollar. "It the basketball definitely makes it worth it," Murray said.

A University employee and medical doctor at Student Health Services was struck and killed by a train Monday morning. Lawrence Police found Patricia A. Denning, 56, dead upon arrival at the Santa Fe Railroad Station near Seventh and New York streets at 11:10 a.m. I am very grateful to you. Denning According to a University press release, Denning worked at Watkins Health Center since 1990 and served as chief of staff from 2005 through July 2012. "On behalf of the entire University community, I offer the deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Denning." Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in the release, offering thoughts and prayers to Denning's loved ones. "Her contributions to the health and well-being of our students will be felt for years to come." Sgt. Trent McKinley, an LPD spokesman, said police worked with Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical and BNSF railway, which operated the train, to determine no vehicles were involved and foul play is not suspected. McKinley said the department does not plan to release any additional information on the accident. Jill Jess, a University spokeswoman, said during Danning's time with Student Health Services she oversaw community health responses to mumps and H1N1. She also established the Travel Clinic, which offers immunizations and counseling to students traveling outside the U.S. Denning was married with three children. "Dr. Denning was a wonderful colleague and a dedicated physician," said Carol Seager, director of health for Student Health Services. "Her direct and caring response to student and community health issues showed her deep commitment to her patients and the public." JOBS - Rachel Salyer Race and gender influence salary REBEKKA SCHLICHTING rschlichting@kansan.com Women still make less money than men, according to a new study by the U.S. Census Bureau, which reports a 23 percent pay difference between the sexes in 2011. "Men and women tend to work in different jobs and men tend to work in higher-paying jobs." Corbett said. "Women's work has been traditionally less valued compared to work that men have done. Another explanation that people put forth is that men work longer hours." Christianne Corbett, senior researcher at the American Association of University Women, said there are a number of reasons for the pay gap. The study found the median income for women with full-time jobs last year was $37,118, compared with $48,202 for men. The gender pay gap was the same in 2010. Women are often overlooked for promotional opportunities at work because of their traditional roles as mothers, said Kathy Rose-Mockry, Race also plays into pay gap findings. The Census Bureau study showed white women make more money weekly compared to African American and Hispanic men and women. White women make an average of $703 a week, while black men, who on average make more than black women, make $653 weekly. Hispanic men, who also make more than Hispanic women, earn $571 weekly. However, Asian American men make more than average white men, about $970 a week; Asian American women also make more than white women, about $751 a week. program director of the Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity. This could be because they typically take more responsibility for the family and are more likely to take a break from their careers or work part-time to care for children, Rose-Mockry said. Terriss Ford, a freshman from Overland Park, said the ratio doesn't mean employers are discriminating against women purposely.

"Men have always been on the top of that ladder." Source: Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce Gabby Gullen, a senior from Topeka, said the pay gap isn't fair. She said many people believe men are more capable than women. "They are more masculine and more powerful than women are," Index Guillen said. "People respect men taking control over women." According to an interpretation of the study from the AAUW called "The Simple Truth About the Pay Gap," full-time working women in Kansas made an average of $32,204 in 2010. Full-time working men in Kansas made an average of $43,773. AAUW's analysis also suggests the gender pay gap decreased since the 1970s because of women's progress in education and in the workforce. Yet within the past decade, the ratio has been fairly stagnant. The ratio in Kansas was 3 percent lower than the national average. lake Waters, a sophomore from "It's messed up," Waters said.

POLITICS UTAH LOVES MITT. ASSOCIATED PRESS Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney arrives at Salt Lake City International Airport during a visit to Utah for a pair of fundraisers on Tuesday, Sept. 18. Supporters grow critical of Romney SALT LAKE CITY — His campaign at a crossroads, Mitt Romney struggled Tuesday to limit political fallout from his dismissive comments about nearly half of all Americans while Republican officials debated the impact of serial controversies on the party's hopes of capturing the White House. President Barack Obama's White House piled on, seven weeks before Election Day. "When youre president of the United States, you are president of all the people, not just the people who voted for you," said press secretary Jay Carney. Romney seemed to say otherwise in a video that surfaced on Monday in which he told donors at a fundraiser that 47 percent of Americans don't pay taxes and believe they are entitled to extensive government support. He added that Obama "deeply believes that we're in this together." "My job is not to worry about those people," he said. "I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." They also noted that with early voting already under way in some Privately, some Republicans were critical of Romney's most recent comments and his overall campaign to date, saying he had frittered away opportunities. states, the time to recover was smaller than might appear.

Still, with high-profile presidential debates and seven weeks of campaigning ahead, others said those concerns were overstated.

LAGOS, Nigeria — Despite all its cutting-edge technology, Google Inc. has turned to the humble text message to break into Nigeria's booming economy.

It's unclear whether the coalition's exit strategy can succeed with less partnering with Afghan policemen and soldiers, who are slated to take over for foreign combat troops by the end of 2014, just 27 months from now. What is clear is that the mantra that Afghans and coalition forces are fighting the Taliban "shoulder to shoulder" is looking more and more like they're standing at arm's length. Earlier this year, the U.S. military stopped training about 1,000 members of the Afghan Local Police, a controversial network of village-defense units. U.S. commanders have assigned some troops to be "guardian angels" who watch over their comrades in interactions with Afghan forces and even as they sleep. U. S. officials also recently ordered American troops to carry loaded weapons at all times in Afghanistan, even when they are on their bases. Until now, coalition troops routinely conducted operations such as patrolling or manning outposts with small units of their Afghan counterparts. Grow your own way Every career path is different.

Whereas the video games provide engrossing narratives, heart-pounding thrills and some of the most intense scares in gaming, the cinematic adaptations only tried to replicate that feeling in the first installment. Each successive entry grew increasingly more over-the-top and mindlessly action-oriented. But you know what? Despite the fact that "Resident Evil: Retribution" is dumber than any of its many zombies whose brains get splattered onto the wall, I have to admit that I had a pretty decent time watching badass babe Milla Jovovich kick all sorts of undead butt — again. "Retribution" picks up exactly where the last movie left off, opening with an explosive, entrancing set piece involving dozens of helicopters attacking Alice (lovovich) and crew onboard a sea barge, all unfolding in reverse slow-motion. A surprisingly graceful prologue then follows, giving viewers a necessary refresher on the convoluted plot of this series, before jumping back into zombie mayhem. Iovivich gets several scenes to show off her acrobatic and melee skills before Ada Wong (Li Bingbing) arrives, and the film begins to succumb to what we always been the weaknesses of this series — groan-worthy dialogue, stilted acting and a silly plot. Like the last movie, clones also figure into the story, allowing some previously killed characters (most notably Michelle Rodriguez and Odef Sherd) to return. The rest of the journey revolves around Alice and Ada meeting up with an extraction team to escape and destroy the evil Umbrella Corporation's base of operations, traveling through its different levels and fighting what are essentially "boss battles" along the way. When "Retribution" sticks to playing like a video game, it's an extremely dumb, but nonetheless fun, spectacle of violence and destruction. It's no secret writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson values style f.r.a. more than substance, and ne certainly directs the action scenes with plenty of cool, extreme flair — especially in the vivid 3-D. Enemies are killed with a barrage of slo-mo bullets, and subtlety is never part of the equation. Don't get me wrong: This is most certainly a bad film, but it's guilty pleasure entertainment. Fans of this series like these movies because they can shut down their brains for 90 minutes, watch an outrageous display of zombie action eye candy, a few jump scares and Milla Jovovich being awesome. And once in awhile, that's exactly what you need.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Olympic athlete Shaun White is photographed in New York on April 18. A Nashville, Tenn., police report says the Olympic gold medalist snowboarder was charged with vandalism of $500 or less. Officers responded to the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel at 2 a.m. Sunday after a drunken man identified as the 26-year-old White pulled a fire alarm, forcing the hotel to evacuate all guests. An employee also reported seeing White destroy a hotel phone. White tried to leave the hotel in a cab before being stopped by a hotel guest who told the driver that police had been called. According to police, White kicked at the man before running away. The man chased him and they collided when White turned around. White, who is also one of the world's top skateboarders, fell back and hit his head against a fence. police said White, who appeared to be drunk, was given the opportunity to sign misdemeanor citations and refused, police said. A spokeswoman for Baptist Hospital said White was treated there and released on Monday before being arrested and booked by police. A mug shot released by police shows White with a black eye. White was released by police late Monday afternoon on his own recognizance. His court date was set for Oct. 10.

Editor's note: If you want, like, *S* students on campus. Sure. It would be interesting if KU had its own version of "TMZ." The majority of men at KU are a lot like our squirrels: hairy, scary and all about their nuts. But when elements of our relationships become certain — like Orange Leaf and trashy TV on Monday nights, playing trivia on Wednesday nights and 60 cent boneless wings at Buffalo Wild Wings on Thursday nights — the monotony of it all can make us feel very uncertain about the quality of our dating lives. My weekly schedule has become totally predictable since I started teaching middle school English and communications. The details of my weeks in my classroom vary, but what doesn't change is how tired I am when it's all over each Friday afternoon. The weekend, which was once a time of trekking downtown to whatever bar that boasted the best drinks, had become reduced to me surfing YouTube, inviting my boyfriend over to eat ice cream in bed and finally falling asleep at 11 p.m. I was so tired that I didn't want to do anything else, but eventually my boredom with my relationship left me diving for a solution. By Rachel Keith rkeith@kansan.com Then I found the simplest answer to my biggest relationship problem: stop making excuses and do stuff. That particular piece of advice is easier said than done, especially if you fall victim to laziness. But boredom can be disastrous. It may seem small, but it can wreak serious havoc on our relationships. According to a Good In Bed survey, boredom can be the single biggest threat to an otherwise solid relationship. Sex expert Ian Kerner, a sexuality counselor and founder of Good In Bed, who helped analyze the study, said that "boredom is basically like an attack on our relationship's immune system." And it can spread quickly if it's ignored. Boredom can lead us to get a wandering eye or nix the relationship altogether. But often we become bored in our relationships because we become For the sake of our relation- ships when life becomes routine, we need to break the cycle and continue to maintain the fresh feeling of them before they grow fatally stale. bored with our lives. In this way monotony gets the best of us and disguises itself in the form of a decaying relationship. If we don't act fast, the boredom virus is sure to spread, and the healthy heartbeat that once was in our relationships will soon be flatlining. But at least when it comes to boredom in dating, the problem is easy to fix by simply going out and participating in society. hurt heart. If we don't step carefully, our relationships as we know it can end from this seemingly simple problem, and the issue can become chronic in our next ones if we don't recognize the root of the conflict. If we aren't careful about determining the real issue at hand, we could end up making a choice that's fatal to one of the best relationships in our lives. Sometimes our partners really are at fault. But in reality, they usually aren't. Even if they're not, the consequence (like a breakup) is still the same, and can leave them stunned with unanswered questions about what went wrong. And when the relationship isn't actually the problem, it can leave us with little but a TELEVISION And when we learn to resuscitate dying relationships as easily as that, we can finally keep our great loves alive.

By Mike Montano mmontano@kansan.com The reality television show on MTV, "The Real World," was the start of the reality TV phenomenon of our generation, but since 2000, reality TV has exploded into all of our living rooms and it's a dirty mess. According to the Journal of Consumer Research, people watch reality TV for a number of reasons and those reasons include: imagining yourself as the participant, wanting to be surprised or thrilled by an outcome of the show and having a voyeuristic need to watch people. It has always been a strange concept to me to sit down and watch somebody else live his or her own life. Quite honestly, I'm more concerned with issues that affect my life. I know, boring. Of course I still get in a little movie time or get my fix of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" every now and then. Everyone's preference is different and our reasons for watching what we watch is as unique as we are, but recent statistics of viewers that tuned into the Republican and Democratic National Conventions might be a strong argument for what people prefer to watch or where the future of our programming is headed. According to ABC News, the Republican National Convention brought in 1.2 million viewers on Fox's Aug. 29 coverage of the convention while 2.9 million viewers were more partial to watching TLC's "Honey Boo Boo." I might not even have to explain what type of show "Honey Boo Boo" is but just close your eyes, place yourself in rural Georgia, imagine a stay-at-home mom known as "The Coupon Queen," a little girl bouncing off the walls, lots of sugar, and siblings with nicknames like "Pumpkin" and "Chubbs." And if the mere description doesn't give you a headache, then you're one of millions that would find this show interesting. Since 2008, ratings for both parties' conventions were down by millions and that could be in part to the 89 percent of Americans that say they don't trust the government that was reported by the New York Times, or the increased millions that tune into reality TV to watch "real people" with "real issues." I can't argue there because with quotes from Mitt Romney defining the middle class income as a range from $200,000, to $250,000, it's evident that if we want to tackle "real issues" then we need to start with "real people." POLITICS It's clear that reality TV isn't going anywhere. The ratings are continually increasing and it's a trend that even cable news channels are finding attractive. CNN has been losing ratings and a late-night roundtable seems to be their solution. I'm imagining Carson Daly, Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric and Wolf Blitzter talking about the newest Flo Rida song, a recap of what happened on "Honey Boo Boo" for the week and foods to make you last longer during sex. I guess people are getting tired of staying up on current events or maybe these topics are the new current events. I might tune in to the next "Honey Boo Boo" to see what all the hype is about but the moment I see a White House Reality TV show with the President confessing how he and Biden drank too much at a Fundraiser and ended up in Vegas, I'm giving away my television.

Pro-choice movement is part of personal freedom A few months ago, I was spending time with my five-year-old niece, along with one of her uncles. I'm not quite sure how the conversation started, but at some point we were discussing things my niece could be when she "grows up." Her uncle started jokingly telling her that one of the options (it might have been a lion tamer) was "not the best idea." However, rather than let it slide, my niece turned to him, replying with indigence vividly sharp in her voice, hand on her hip, "I decide my own life!" As my niece proudly declared herself in charge of her own fate, I grinned and high-fived her like the good feminist aunt I am. But, I couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness along with my pride. See, when my niece says "I decide my own life,"—even though every fiber of my being wants to tell her "Yes, you're absolutely right, of course"—I can't nod along with 100 percent honesty. My niece believes her rights for bodily autonomy are par for the course in what she sees as a fair world. Not having a say in her own life is a bewildering concept for her to wrap her head around. My niece believes she should have choices, and get to make those choices, whether it's choosing her lunch or choosing her future career. However, the notion that my niece should be powerless in her own life is not at all bewildering to an alarming number of people. In fact, the notion that people, particularly young people, and particularly young people with the capability to become pregnant, should feel powerless in their own lives is the driving factor behind an entire political What is the best food for fall?

There is a very real possibility that entities will attempt to take the power of "I decide my own life" away from my niece. She may be raped. She may be bled to by her doctor about her health and body. She may be told she has no right to a decision about her body, that she is not an authority on her own life, that she in fact cannot, and should not be able to say, "I decide my own life". duck I want her to be able to decide. This scares me. No scratch that—this terrifies me. According to the American Pregnancy Association, 49 percent of all pregnancies are unintended, and the rate of unintended pregnancy is particularly high among 18 to 24-years-old—the age of the typical KU student. An age group my niece will belong to when she "goes to KU or Harvard" (she hasn't decided which yet). This is the root of the prochoice movement. This is my niece, someday, if she happens to have an unplanned pregnancy, being able to decide her own life. This is my niece, or your niece, or sister, mother, friend, or you, me, or any of the people whose body has the capability to become pregnant, being able to say "I decide my own life." This is about having options. I want my niece, and all those with the capability to become pregnant, to be able to pick the best option when it comes to a decision that literally can decide the path your life takes. And I want my niece, and us all, to say, "I decide my own life." Gwynn is a sophomore majoring in English and women, gender, and sexuality from Glathe. Follow her on twitter @All迪利Gwynn. and having access to those options; about deciding to end a pregnancy, or about continuing with a pregnancy and choosing adoption, or about continuing with a pregnancy and being a parent. The pro-choice movement is not the pro-abortion movement. The pro-choice movement is the "you decide your own life" movement. Having options available to a person, and allowing a person to choose the option that is best for them, and their current and future family? That is choice. My niece is five years old. She was born five years ago because of an unplanned pregnancy when my sister was 19 years old, younger than I am now; the age of a significant amount of students on campus. My sister, when discovering she was pregnant, looked at her options: abortion, adoption, or parenthood. She decided, for her own personal and unique circumstances, that parenthood was the best option for her. She had means to be able to do this unlike many others, which makes her very lucky and grateful because being a parent has worked out for her. It doesn't for everyone. 102 @elainetaylorx @UDK_Doption Pumpkin, Pumpkin m² m² @JudgmentalJHawk @UDK Dipion pumpkin pie with bourbon whipped cream ...

U. S. District Judge Mark Wolf ruled this月 month that the surgery is the only adequate treatment for Michelle Kosilek's gender-identity disorder, a condition he said is a "serious medical need." The ruling marks the first time a judge has ordered prison officials to provide sex-reassignment surgery. Wolf's ruling prompted an outcry among some legislative leaders, who say Kosilek is not entitled to the taxpayer-funded surgery. THIS, AND EVERY SINGLE WEDNESDAY THE PHOGGY DOG BAR & GRILL DOLLAR NIGHT $1 22ND GROUND Koslek said she cried tears of relief after learning of the judge's ruling. Koslek has waged a decades-long battle to complete the transformation from a man into a woman. "This is who I am. My essence is female," Kosilek told The Associated Press in a recent telephone interview from prison. "To those who don't understand gender-identity disorder, I understand that there is a reluctance to even think about this in a serious vein because to the average person who is uninformed, it may be truly bizarre, but this is who I am. This is who I have always been." Kosilek was named Robert when married to Cheryl Kosilek and convicted of killing her in 1990. She said she endured decades of pain while growing up with a boy's body but feeling like she was a girl and later fighting to get sex-reassignment surgery. She has received female hormones and lives as a woman in an all-male prison in Norfolk. Kosilek said she first began asking for the surgery while awaiting trial in the early 1990s but was turned down by county jail officials, even after she offered to pay for it herself. She filed her first lawsuit against the state Department of Correction in 2000. Two years later, Wolf ruled that Kosilek was entitled to treatment for gender-identity disorder but stopped short of ordering surgery. Kosilek sued again in 2005, arguing that surgery was a medical necessity. T ODDS ARE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A TOP TEN SONG. P. BUT YOU CAN HAVE A TOP TEN INTERNSHIP.

Cope preached and debated with students for several hours. Tempers flare as Wescoe man's preaching reaches fever pitch ILUKE RANKER Iranker@kansan.com KU Office of Public Safety officers responded to an incident on Wescoe Beach Tuesday afternoon. Clarence "Bro" Cope said he had been preaching for about three hours when a crowd of students began to argue with him. Cope said the preaching became "tumultuous" after some students became upset by his statement to "completely stop sinning." "I said 'I stopped sinning,' and that generally sends them off in Cope, who has been preaching on the University campus for 35 years, is an associate of Campus Ministries USA. He said he was not associated with the anti-abortion group that had a display set up near him. another tirade," he said. James Hoyt, a freshman from Haviland, Kan., saw Cope preaching around 2:30 p.m. He said a large crowd had gathered around Cope. Some were debating with him, others were yelling names at him. "Even some of the Christians in the group were telling him what he was saying is wrong." Hoyt said. He said he left to go to class, but Cope was still preaching to a small group of people when he returned. At the time of interview, Captain Schuyler Bailey of KU Public Safety, was unable to comment on the incident. MEDIA CROSSROADS — Edited by Lauren Shelly CAMPUS Union welcomes Media Crossroads TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN Media Crossroads occupies the space near Alderson Auditorium on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. It will offer media equipment available as a service of the University. NIKKI WENTLING nwentling@kansan.com The fourth floor of the Kansas Union is changing this semester. Kaplan Test Prep and the Herb Harris Student Computing Lab moved to the third floor, and Media Crossroads, a new venture by the University, the journalism school and the Kansas Union, has taken the empty space. Media Crossroads, which will open later this week or early next week, is a room containing various types of technology available to students, faculty and the Lawrence community. It includes equipment for television and radio, a full studio and a presence from student media outlets such as KUJH-TV, KJHK and the University Daily Kansan. "It's undefined, and it can be whatever students, faculty or the larger community want it to be," said Scott Reinardy, associate professor in the journalism school and interim director of Media Crossroads. "It's an opportunity to come in and create media." Construction on joining the two rooms was completed last week. The first event in Media Crossroads took place Saturday morning, when KJHK broadcasted a live football pregame show from the space. Reinard said that KUJH and KJKH could run live programs out of the room for every home football and basketball game. "The ideas that come to us are unending," Reinardy said. "It's going to open itself up to a lot of different opportunities." Although Reinardy expects journalism students to use the space, he said Media Crossroads is a service for the University, and it could be used by all students and staff. He said one goal is to have Media Crossroads put on one big event for the public every day. There are already several ideas that have been put forth. One is to teach senior citizens how to use some of the equipment to tell their own stories. Another is to do something similar to National Public Radio's StoryCorps, where students and faculty broadcast their own stories over the radio. The official opening of Media Crossroads is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Oct.27, the day of homecoming. Staff will be available in the space to assist with using the technology. — Edited by Brian Sisk UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS ALTERNATIVE BREAKS APPLY BY SEPT. 21!

The Jayhawks struggled in the final round with a total team score of 312. "In the first two rounds, we had a lot of birds," coach Erin O'Neil said. "In the last coach, we hit a lot of shots that got us in trouble and three putted more than I would like. It's the culmination of those two things that caused us to drop." The course at the Golf Club of Oklahoma provided a solid stage for the tournament. "It was a great course, a great challenge, but fair," O'Neil said. "You definitely had to get off the tee well. If you didn't do that, it had pretty long rough, so bogey was pretty likely, if not double if your short game was off" A pair of veterans led the way for the Jayhawks. Thanutra Boonrakasat tied for 24th with a total three-round score of 223. Meghan Potee tied for 30th with a 226. "They both did a good job of hanging in there when they had a few bad holes. I just think they, and the team, didn't make their best decisions on the way in. It's really what caused us to drop" O'Neil said. Yupaporn Kawinpakorn finished 40th with a three-round score of 229. Gabby DiMarco tied for 50th place with a 232, while Audrey Yowell completed the lineup tied for 59th with a 235. The team will be working on making decisions in pressure situations in practice this week. "We're planning on playing Thursday and Friday to try to recreate pressure situations and some trouble shots," O'Neil said. "Hopefully this will help show them that when they get in a little trouble, they should just get out of the situation rather than try to gain it all back in one shot." The Jayhawks advance to their home course at the Millynn Smith Sunflower Invitational next Monday at Alvamar Country Club. "We were a different team in that first round than we were all of last year. I know we didn't finish up like we would've liked, but I am very encouraged by what I saw," O'Neil said. — Edited by Lauren Shelly GOLF Team focuses on making decisions under pressure TREVOR GRAFF {graff@kansan.com} The Kansas men's golf team finished 10th at the Golfweek Conference Challenge in Burlington, Iowa. Chris Gilbert led the Jayhawks, finishing tied for 13th with a three-round total score of 219 on a course that emphasized keeping tee shots in the fairway. "He played solid again this week," coach Jamie Bermel said. "He made a couple of bad swings that cost dearly, but he played solidly, and hopefully next week will be even better for him." Gilbert managed the Spirit Hollow Golf Course while recording respectable scores. "The rough was really thick," Bermel said. "It had some elevation change and some long holes. You really had to drive your ball in the fairway, and if you didn't you were in deep rough. It was a great test of golf." Sophomore transfer Stan Gautier, from Paris, France, also played well for the Jayhawks, finishing tied for 31st with a three-round total of 225. Bermel said Gautier played with boosted confidence as he drastically improved putting the ball. Gautier shot a 72 in a windy second round, a score Bermel said was impressive considering the conditions. Dylan McClure finished tied for 41st with a score of 227 followed by Ryley Haas in a tie for 68th with a score of 237. Bryce Brown completed the lineup tied for 70th with a 238. The Jayhawks are focusing on limiting simple mistakes this week. "We just have to eliminate the silly mistakes," Bermel said. "We hit balls out of bounds or three putt in situations that we shouldn't. These are mental errors that we have to correct." The Jayhawks look to continue their steady improvement next week in Erie, Colo. at the Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational. We only had a few days to work on some things this week," Bermel said. "I thought we did some things better. We still have a long way to go, but we're on the right track."

The Bluejays enter the match, which will be televised on Metro Sports, with a 10-1 record, and they are already 2-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Their only loss came to then No. 21 Kansas State on Sept. 1. Since then, Creighton has won the past six games. Coach Ray Bechard compared Creighton to last week's match up against Notre Dame. "I think they'll be similar in physicality," Bechard said. Rechard said it will be important to swing aggressively on target to avoid extending the rally. While Creighton enters the match with a six-game winning streak, the Jayhawks have been just as impressive recently. Before their loss to Notre Dame last Sunday, the Jayhawks tied the fourth-longest streak in school history with nine straight wins. The streak included a home victory against Tulsa, whom Creighton also defeated during their current winning streak. The match features two teams near the top of their respective conferences in many major statistical categories. Kansas leads the Big 12 with 14.6 kills per set, 13.8 assists per set and 16 digs per set. Creighton leads the Missouri Valley Conference with three blocks per set. They also rank second in their conference with a .258 hitting percentage. Individually, Creighton's sophomore middle blocker Kelli Browning leads the conference with 1.8 blocks per set. Against Notre Dame last Sunday, Kansas senior middle blocker Tayler Toolefree said the Fighting Irish did a good job around the net taking away the shots Kansas wanted to make. She said that will probably be another key in the match versus the Bluejays. "They take away what we want to do, and we're trying to take away what they want to do." Tolefree said. "It's just who can find a different way to score and put points up." Bechard said his team scheduled a tough non-conference season to help them prepare for conference play, and this match will be one of those tough tests. Besides Tulsa, which has received votes in the American Volleyball Coaches' Association Top-25 Poll, Creighton also defeated Syracuse, Missouri State and Wichita State. Freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery said the Jayhawks didn't come out with the proper mindset against Notre Dame. That is something they'll have fixed for Creighton, she said. "Going out in the first game knowing that 'OK, we are going to win this game.'" Dockery said. "Just starting the game off good and finishing the game off good and not letting down in between." — Edited by Luke Ranker ANDY Senior defensive specialist Morgan Boub prepares for the serve during the match against the Wyoming Cowgirls Saturday night, Sept. 8.

TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN Carlos O'Kelly's MEXICAN CAPE EVERY WEDNESDAY 99¢ MUG O'RITAS $1.49 FLAVORED MUG O'RITAS 707 West 23rd St. (785) 832-0550 BASEBALL Reds manager has 3,000th game ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Dusty Baker reached another milestone in his long major league career Tuesday night when he managed his 3,000th game, guiding the Cincinnati Reds against one of his former teams, the Chicago Cubs. "I'm just glad that out of the 3,000 games, I won more than we've lost," said the 63-year-old Baker, who had a 1,572-1,426 record before Tuesday's game and also managed one tie game in 2002. "That's a lot of games. That's not as many as some, but I still got quite a few games left in me," he said. Baker began his managerial career in 1993 with the San Francisco Giants and led them to At 19th on the career list, Baker isn't even halfway to Connie Mack. Mack is tops at 7,755 games managed. the World Series in his final season there in 2002. He took over the Cubs in 2003 and got them within five outs of the World Series before a monumental collapse against the Florida Marlins in the NL championship series. Following a 66-win season in 2006, Chicago did not renew his contract. But Baker did have more managing in him. Since 2008, he's been running the Reds and has Cincinnati in position to win its second NL Central title in three years. The 63-year-old Baker began his playing career in 1968 with Atlanta when he was 19 years old and finished up in 1986. He played in 2,039 games and 40 more in the playoffs. "Things have gone fairly well. I played a long time, I've managed probably equal or longer than I played and I didn't have any idea I was going to be doing this after my playing days," said Baker, adding that he'd done some stock brokering before joining the Giants. Baker was a hailed as a savior when he first came to Chicago as the Cubs were poised to end a World Series championship drought that has now reached 104 years. But his final season was anything but pleasant and he's often been booed on his return to Wrigley Field, some fans forging perhaps that he got the Cubs as close to the World Series as any manager has since their last appearance in 1945. The Reds' magic number over the St. Louis Cardinals for winning the division was five before Tuesday night. Asked if it could be extra satisfying to clinch at Wrigley, Baker said not really. "I thought of it a few days ago," he said. "Our goal is just win. I don't care where we clinch it at really. I just want to clinch it." Meet one of our people and they'll ask about you.

Jones also won a World Series in 1995, but his most impressive accomplishment in my book is his ability to leave baseball while he is still on top. Too often players will linger around the game until they are forced to retire because they no longer can compete with the younger league members. It was sad hearing the stories of Ken Griffey Jr. failing to produce and even falling asleep in the dugout during his final year in the league. Seeing a star diminish so greatly is one of the hardest parts of being a sports fan, making Jones's retiement-tourned-victory-lap all the more refreshing. Braves to an 84-63 record and possession of a Wild Card spot. Since he entered the league in 1993, Jones has been the gold standard for third basemen, and the end of this season will mark the end of one of the greatest careers in the history of the game As a Minnesota, I can safely say hockey is in my blood. I never played organized hockey, but my childhood winters consisted of skating lessons, pond hockey and following the Minnesota Wild. Now, before perhaps the most anticipated season in the history of the young franchise, the NHL has locked in the players. NHL AT CROSSROADS This is incredibly deflating to a fan base that was eager to see the newly-signed stars Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. Now, as players and owners fight to start the season and teams struggle to keep their season ticket holders, the fans are left puzzled, frustrated and without hockey. The NHL had the opportunity to separate itself from the NFL and NBA, which both went through long-winded work stoppages before last season, and show fans that the league really cares. They squandered this chance by not reaching an agreement before the midnight deadline on Saturday. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman still has the opportunity to save face and ensure no regular season games are missed. The NBA suffered in TV ratings during the playoffs last year after its lockout took up half the season while the NHL saw a significant uptick in viewers during the Stanley Cup playoffs. The NHL risks losing the momentum it gained for attention against its biggest rival and needs to make amends with an angry fan base by coming to an agreement before any games are lost. CABRERA DESERVES MVP KU Though the Tigers stand three games out of the American League Central Division lead after their 5-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox, Miguel Cabrera has carried the team to contention all year long. The Tigers' right-handed third baseman leads the American League in average, RBI and slugging percentage and is fifth in home runs. Cabrera moved from first base to third base this season after the Tigers signed the left-handed slugger Prince Fielder and has still managed to put up an incredible offensive performance. The Tigers pitching staff has been hard to predict this season and their defense has been shaky at best. Without their vaulted offense, lead by the 7-time all-star from Venezuela, the Tigers would not be in the picture for playoffs.

NFL Women's Golf Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational All Day Lawrence MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Biased replacement officials obstruct game integrity If there is one word the NFL likes to hold above all others, it is integrity. All of the players and employees throughout the league understand that. So Mathias Kiwanuka likely knew exactly where he was thrusting the dagger when he weighed in on the impact that the replacement officials are having on the sport through two weeks of work. "There's no doubt the integrity of the game has been compromised," Kiwanuka said. That seems to sum up the growing sentiment not only in the Giants' locker room but also around the league. As the Giants prepare for their game Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers, they know that the two teams will not be the only ones under the microscope of a national broadcast. The officials, too, will be subject to great scrutiny and likely a topic of conversation, just as they were Tuesday following a prime-time game between the Broncos and the Falcons on Monday in which they very nearly lost control and certainly impacted the flow of a game that trickled into Tuesday Morning Football. Players and coaches at first played along, mostly toeing the company line of support for the replacements. But two weeks in, the officials are officially a problem. "I'm not necessarily mad at the replacement officials," Justin Tuck said. "I'm more upset with the NFL for not handling this and taking care of this in due time, I guess. I think with all the success that this league is having, you don't want this to be a damper." Some of the issues that have popped up are almost punch lines, such as the claim by Eagles running back LeSean McCoy in a radio interview Monday. "I'll be honest," McCoy told 94WIP, "they're like fans. One of the refs was talking about his fantasy team, like: McCoy, come on, I need you for my fantasy." Then there's Brian Stropolo, a replacement side judge, who was removed from working Sunday's Saints-Panthers game because his Facebook page included pictures of him decked out in Saints gear. And there are the too-many-to-count missed calls on holding and pass interference. "I saw a guy basically walk Victor Cruz like he was a dog," Giants safety Kenny Phillips said after watching the video of the Bucs game. "He had his jersey the whole way up the field and they didn't call anything ... It was bad." The league has said the replacement officials have "made great strides" and are "performing admirably under unprecedented scrutiny and great pressure." But not all of the implications of replacement refs are as silly, certainly not to the players. Injuries are becoming a major concern for the players, particularly when it comes to enforcing hits on defenseless players, something the NFL has stressed in recent years. "I think it's inevitable (that an injury will occur)." Kiwanuka said. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS Home housing SALE announcements for sale ...

Former football players break into the NFL PAGE 8 COMMENTARY In Monday's final hours, Andrew Bolton verbally committed to Kansas according to Rivals. com. Bolton, a 6-foot-3, 280-pound defensive end, currently plays for Hinds Community College in Mississippi and is a big time talent — big enough to receive scholarship offers from Iowa and LSU while being recruited by Alabama and Ohio State. Weis a boon for football recruiting By Mike Vernon mvernon@kansan.com You see, Weis was not hired for what he may be able to do this season. Hell, no coach could have cleaned up Turner Gill's mess in one season. Kansas may not win another game in 2012, but you can be sure they will improve and continue to do so. And hey, this week is already a win. Edited by Sarah McCabe In the football universe, Alabama, LSU and Ohio State are equivalent to planets, while Kansas is merely one of many meteors hoping to defy odds and cause damage when it inevitably hurdles into one of the few planets. This is the kind of caliber player at whom Kansas has never truly had a chance. This is why Charlie Weis was brought in. Senior quarterback Dayne Crist gets tackled as he tries to get the ball into the end zone to score a touchdown during the Sept. 15 game against Texas Christian. The Javahays lost 6-20. Kansas scored no touchdown and had two field goals. It's the one pitch Weis has that the top schools can not sell. Bolton wanted to play for Weis, more than Nick Saban. More than Les Miles. More than Urban Mever. If Weis and Campo can get a player on campus, they can get him to sign. It's as simple as that, which is a very exciting prospect for Kansas football. To be fair, Weis isn't the only factor in Bolton's recruitment. The Jayhawk's linebackers coach DeMontie Cross was the lead recruiter for Bolton and should receive a bundle of the credit as well. So Cross, Weis and the other assistants managed to pull off something that Kansas never does and pluck a top southern player out of the south. How? And then there's this pitch Kansas can sell to recruits that Alabama can't. 'That LSU can't.' And neither can Ohio State. Even getting Bolton to visit was a victory for the Jayhawks, and the victory helped them win the war that was Bolton's recruitment. It's rare for top prospects to even give Lawrence a chance, but with names like Weis and defensive coordinator Dave Campo in charge, the visits will come, and Lawrence does the rest. OLA DOUGLER 6 It is no stretch to say that Bolton will be in Lawrence this summer because he will be able to play in the fall, especially as a JUCO transfer who has a limited number of years left in his college career. Still, Weis hired Cross, a former Missouri football star, who clearly has had an impact on this team. Playing time. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN AGGRESSIVE EXPANSION THE ARSENAL GROWS Halfback Tony Pierson and running back James Sims will provide the Jayhawks with more offensive options BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com Tony Pierson hadn't caught a football since high school, but heading into the game against Texas Christian last Saturday, he knew that would change — he just didn't know when. Nearing the end of the first quarter, an anxious Pierson got his answer. TCU scored its first touchdown of the day and coach Charlie Weis responded by calling his X-factor play for Kansas. Pierson lined up in the backfield but moved swiftly across the line once the ball was snapped. Quickly, quarterback Dayne Crist had an open receiver just past the Horned Frog's defensive line, and he tossed the ball, Pierson's seldom-used hands were there to meet it. With the ball cradled safely in his arm and two blockers ahead of him, Pierson darted up the field for a 16-yard gain. It was the first of six catches the sophomore would have against TCU, and while he missed out on a third consecutive 100-yard rushing game, he managed to pick up 99 yards receiving. It was the last thing TCU coach Garv Patterson was expecting. "They changed their whole game plan," Patterson said. "They didn't run one route progression that they ran the last two ball-games." Weis rejoiced in his sneakily effective scheme after the defeat, but nixed any thought of Pierson making more catches down the road. Or perhaps he just needed a day or two to think about it. On Tuesday, the Kansas offensive coordinator wasn't taking any options on the table — especially with the return of running back James Sims from a three-game DUI suspension. "He's got good ball skills and good route running ability for a running back," Weis said of Pierson. "I've shifted him out into the slot, and he's run corner routes that he's got open and caught. He's come out of the backfield and run It surely won't catch Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren off guard this Saturday, but Pierson's catching ability opens up options for another backfield threat: the returning Sims. a wheel route for about another 25 vards. 1 kind of like that." Last season against NIU, Sims sparked a 14-point Jayhawk comeback with 159 total yards and two touchdowns. With the Huskies defense returning nearly all of its starters from last season, there couldn't have been a more favorable opponent for Sims to make his 2012 debut against. "He knows how well he did against them last year," running backs coach Reggie Mitchell said. "James is very confident." That isn't to say Pierson will be losing any touches. Weis and Mitchell had planned on giving Pierson about 15 touchs a game since fall camp, and Mitchell said that's still the plan — but that didn't include catches. As long as he gets a chance to make plays, Pierson could care less if he's getting the ball in the backfield or the open field. "It doesn't matter," Pierson said. "I played wide out in high school, so it's natural. As long as the ball comes to me." KANSAS 9 17 — Edited by Christy Khamphilay Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc talks strategy with junior erter Erin McNorton during the match against the Woymong Cowirts on Sent. 8, Kansas defeated Woymong 3-0 sets, scoring 15-13, 25-21 and 25-18. TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN VOLLEYBALL Jarmoc makes a family out of a team GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com Caroline Jarmoc hadn't seen her sister, Patricia, in two years, because of her sister's career playing professional volleyball in Portugal. So when assist coach Laura "Bird" Kuhn told Jarmoc she needed to arrive early for the Jayhawks' match against Tulsa on Aug. 31, she didn't think much of it. "Bird called me into the team room, just saying that she wanted to have a middles (middle blockers) meeting or something that she made up," jarmoc said. "I was talking, and then the team room door opened and in walked my sister. I was completely shocked." Jarmoc, a redshirt junior middle blocker, is originally from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Her mom, Zofia, also came to Lawrence for the Tulsa match. This made it the first time in two years Jarmoc's mom had seen her play for Kansas and the only time for her sister. Jarmoc comes from a family of volleyball players. Besides herself and her sister, Jarmoc's brother, Thomas, has played left side hitter for a team in Brussels, Belgium for the past three years. Her parents still live in Canada, so all five family members are rarely together. Although she doesn't remember the last time her whole family sat down together for a meal, she said it hasn't hurt her bond with her family. "Distance doesn't really make us any less close," Jarmoc said. "It's something you have to accept as you get older, that you're not Jarmoc said she only gets back to Canada about twice a year, but she has another family member on the volleyball team in senior middle blocker Tayler Toilefle. She and Jarmoc play the same position, came to Kansas together in the fall of 2009 and were assigned to be roommates their freshman year going to be this same unit of five everyday. We're obviously distracted with our own things on a regular basis, but it's really nice when we get back together and get to see each other" Tolefree said she gained respect for Jarmoc during their freshman year because she took a redshirt year but still worked hard in practice, even though she wasn't going to play. Tolefree said they both helped each other get through that year, even though they have opposite personalities. "She was kind of eccentric, not She was kind of or really the style that I used to," Tolefree said. "She has a very blunt personality, but she's also secretly compassionate." Coach Ray Bechard said he thought Jarmoc might enter the jayhawks' lineup immediately, her Bechard said Jarmoc wasn't in very good shape during camp — her late graduation cost her preseason time with the lajhawks — but that she became a more mature "I don't know if I've ever seen a redshirt year impact a kid more just from a maturation process."

Part of jarmoc's maturation during her first season involved --- adjusting to American volleyball rules. Although volleyball in Canada and the United States is similar, there were some rules Jarmoc had to get used to. "The biggest one was when the ball can touch the ceiling and you can play on," Jarmoc said. The other, more comical, adjustment was a cultural one. Toleflec said that instead of saying, "take a test," Jarmoc says she "wrote her exam." Jarmoc said it was another phrase that got her the most good-natured grief. "I remember when I first came, and when I didn't understand something the coach said or I didn't hear what he said, instead of saying 'What?' I'd say 'Sorry?' because I didn't hear it," Jarmoc said. "Coach B made fun of me for like a year, he was always like 'Sorry, sorry, sorry'" While Jarmoc may have had a hard time understanding Bechard, she said many people have a hard time understanding Jarmoc and Tolefree's relationship. Although they are still as dissimilar as they were when they met, Jarmoc said their critical thinking and approaches to different situations is what makes them so compatible. "That's a concept to me that I still can't understand." "We have a very unique relationship that people have a hard time explaining, and even our teammates now still can't really fathom how our dynamic works." Jarmoc said. "We're just like a power couple that we just go around and dominate aspects of life together." — Edited by Christy Khamphilay 95 Thursday, September 20, 2012 KANSAN The ut that ance to child care in the on said. school, the ball amphilay n vol- volley- United re some used to. when the and you THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK the student voice since 1904 WEEKEND OPERATION UNDERAGE RACHEL SAYLER rsayler@kansan.com More efforts than usual are underway to catch underage students drinking and students drinking irresponsibly during upcoming weekends.

"It is safe to say that we are doing more enforcement than we usually do this time of year," said Trent McKinley, LPD spokesman. "The alcohol seems to be more ramped up this year." Since the first weekend of the school year, LPD has conducted alcohol enforcement every weekend. McKinley said the many of the responses made by LPD during the weekend involve alcohol in some way. "Most every disturbance call, most serious accidents that we've seen, they all have some kind of alcohol component," McKinley said. A specific LPD game day shift may also result in more students cited for alcohol violations. The department is dedicating 14 officers to patrol and respond to calls around the area surrounding the stadium. McKinley said the specific shift contains officers from various departments working overtime, and it is intended to put less strain on the department on game days and throughout the week. "If there are no calls for service, we expect our officers to be productive," McKinley said. "And that's usually when they start looking for the alcohol or making traffic citations." But for students like Ryan Guetzkl, a senior from Olathe, the efforts don't seem worthwhile if they aren't affecting everyone. "Underage drinking is not anything to condone, but I feel like, depending on how bad the ticket is, it can ruin a lot," Guetzkl said. "And if everyone's doing it, it's not really fair." McKinley acknowledged there is no way to catch everyone but said until things slow down, their efforts will most likely continue. "Usually we see it level off after a few weeks of enforcement and people change their behavior," McKinley said. "We aren't seeing that yet, and as long as there is a need for it and we have the resources for it, it'll continue."

TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN CAMPUS ROCK CHALI LAKEMIA ASHLFIGH LEF/KANSAN Stephanie Hindle, a freshman from Parsons, talks to Lisa Hines, exhibit coordinator of the Glass Walls Exhibit for PETA, about the display in front of the Student Union Thursday. "We want to educate people about the agriculture industry," Hines said. "We don't want to depress them but to empower them to make individual choices." Exhibit shows graphic reality of slaughterhouse REBEKKA SCHLICHTING rschlichting@kansan.com Students can experience the horrors of slaughterhouses this week by visiting Peta2's giant inflatable barn exhibit in front of the Kansas Union. "We've found that students are horrified to learn that cows have their throats slit while they're still conscious and that chickens are scaled to death in boiling hot water before being turned into Mcnuggets," said Ryan Huling, manager of college campaigns and outreach for Peta2. "It's simply not the kind of industry that students want to support." Peta2 is touring colleges across the nation this fall with their Glass Windows exhibit. The tour started on Sept. 10 and will end after Thanksgiving. It will be in front of the Kansas Union today and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit is split into two sections. The first section has facts and pictures of animal cruelty along with examples of the small cages the animals are crammed into. The second section is a theatre with imitation cage seats and a graphic video showing the animals' harsh living conditions and painful deaths. "Wow," Laisa Alcantar, a sophomore from Garden City, Kan., said after touring the exhibit. "I've never seen a video like that. I was kind of shocked at the things that happen in slaughter houses. I was appalled. The worst part was seeing the piglets being thrown down to kill because they were sick. There should be a better way to feed the population that isn't that cruel." Huling said the purpose of the exhibit is to remind students of what's behind closed doors in factory farms and slaughter houses and to look at the humane alternatives available, including vegetarian barbeque riblets, vegan pizza and other credulity-free options. "Ignorance really is bliss when it comes to this kind of thing," said Blaine Knox, a senior from Salina, Kan. Peta2 is the student division of PETA, which works with high school and college student groups around America on issues that directly affect students at their schools. Huling said Peta2 has seen a tremendous increase of students who identify as vegetarian since they were founded in 2002. Some students hope for better living conditions for the animals but remain steadfast in their appetite for meat. Peta2 coordinated with the University's Compassion for All Animals student group in 2011 and 2012 to write a petition for more vegetarian and vegan options at the campus dining halls. Parendi Birdie, Compassion for All Animals founder, said the petitions were successful, and KU Dining Services will be adding more vegetarian and vegan options in the future. Compassion for All Animals promotes a lifestyle free of cruelty and exploits by spreading awareness about animal cruelty through discussions, lectures and volunteering at the humane society. Last spring, Compassion for All Animals hosted the University's first cruelty-free fashion show, "Free Food, Passion and Compassion." The student group also won the Student Group of the Year Award by Peta2 in recognition for its extraordinary efforts to help end animals' suffering worldwide last semester. "All animals deserve the right to live free of suffering." Birdie said. — Edited by Stéphane Roque ELECTION Voter registration available for students through SUA HANNAH BARLING hbarling@kansan.com Instead of just complaining about political issues to their friends, students have the opportunity to voice their opinions this election season. Student Union Activities is hosting a voting registration booth on the main floor of the Union. The booth is targeted toward students but welcomes anyone to register. Andrew Mechler, coordinator of Social Issues with SUA, said there has been a moderate turnout of students since the booth opened last week. The 2008 election had the second largest number of youth voters. According to The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, an estimated 23 million Americans voted under the age of 30. enriching students and getting them to think about the world around them," Mechler said. The booth fulfills our goal by Members hand out forms at Tea at Three on Thursdays and Tunes at Noon on Fridays. People may pick up forms, fill them out and return them to the volunteers who then bring them to the courthouse. Forms are also available to pick up any time at the SUA box office. "I haven't registered yet because I have been trying to figure out how," said Laura Bondank, a sophomore from Grapevine, Tex. "For in-state students the voting booth is a convenience, but for out-of-state students it's a life saver." Students expressed their views on the importance of registering and actually voting. Gordon Cave, a senior from Augusta, gave his opinion specifically on why voting as a college student is important. "It's important for us to register because who we elect now will be making decisions about our future regarding student loans, pell grants and keeping college affordable for people of all backgrounds," Cave said. Other students acknowledged the importance of voting, but feel their vote isn't imperative. Thora Ansell, a sophomore from Houston Tex., has registered to vote but doesn't plan on doing so. "The majority of Texans are conservative and my views are more liberal. I know it's important but feel my voice wouldn't be heard," she said. SUA will be hosting an election watch party Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 5 p.m. on the main floor of the Union.

ASSOSCIATED PRESS Refugees wait in line to receive packages of food that had been air-dropped by the World Food Programme (WFP) on Friday in Yida camp, South Sudan. Refugees at the camp along the volatile South Sudan-Sudan border sav renewed fighting between rebels and Sudan's military is likely to continue. Hordes of refugees flock to Yida camp YIDA, South Sudan — Tens of thousands of people have already swarmed to a refugee camp in South Sudan and community chiefs expect a new wave to soon begin the trek from Sudan's war-torn Nuba Mountains, setting up what humanitarian workers warn could become a catastrophe. As many as 15,000 more refugees could stream across the border from Sudan by the end of the year, straining a camp that has been hit by malaria and diarrhea with many people arriving malnourished, said the U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR. "We are already stretched to the breaking point here, and any surge or increase in the population will make it nearly impossible to cope with the situation," UNHCR's Kathryn Mahoney told The Associated Press. Yida sits near the northern tip of South Sudan's Unity State near the border with Sudan. It is a remote region in one of the world's least developed countries. Recent rains have made roads impassable, and the World Food Program has been forced to drop food from the sky to meet the camps' needs. For the past week, large lilyinjets have screamed over the camp, dropping 64 metric tons each day from a height of 200 meters (yards). The cheers of refugees - and some aid workers - watching the spectacle accompany each drop. The population of Yida rose since February from 17,000 to 65,000 by September. From mid-June through mid-July, around 1,000 new arrivals came each day, along with a rash of death and disease that one Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) official described as "five weeks of hell." According to MSF, around two people per every 10,000 in the camp were dying each day, double what the organization considers the emergency threshold. Around 25 percent of those admitted to the MSF hospital in Yida were dying. Many were acutely malnourished, and the rains brought malaria and diarrhea. "In June, July it was so (bad)," recalled MSF Emergency Coordinator Foura Sassou Madi. An influx of refugees is also expected at the four camps in Upper Nile State's Maban county. The refugees have there have fled a similar war in Sudan's Blue Nile. There are now more than 110,000 refugees in the Maban camps. Associated Press UNHCR says it needs $183 million to manage the humanitarian needs at the camps. So far only around 40 percent has been delivered. NORTH AMERICA ASSOCIATED PRESS Five oil workers missing after fire REYNOSA, Mexico — Mexico's state-owned oil company says at least five people are still listed as missing in a pipeline fire that killed 26 workers and injured 46 others at a plant near the U.S. border. Juan Jose Suarez, director of the state-owned Petroleos Mexicanos company, told local media Wednesday that at least 5 workers have not been seen since the blast. Two of the 46 injured were in serious condition. President Felipe Calderon said emergency teams' quick reaction prevented a "real catastrophe," by controlling the fire before it reached the massive tanks of a neighboring gas processing plant. The enormous fire Tuesday hit a distribution center near the U.S. border that handles gas coming in from wells and sends it to a processing plant next door. "The timely response by oil workers, firefighter and the Mexican Army was able to control the fire relatively quickly and avoid a real catastrophe of bigger proportions and greater damages if the fire had spread to the center for gas processing which is right there," Calderon said in a speech in Mexico City. A Mexican army vehicle patrols on a road as fire and smoke rise from a gas pipeline distribution center in Reynosa, Mexico near the Mexican border with the United States. The blast and ensuing fire were so powerful they left charred tanks and a mound of tangled steel at the walled plant near the border city of Reynosa, across from McAllen, Texas. The facility had perimeter walls topped with razor wire as a security measure in a country which has seen thieves, saboteurs and drug gangs target oil installations, and Officials of Petroleos Mexicanos, also known as Pemex, say the blast appeared to have been caused by an accidental leak, and there was no sign so far of sabotage. Until the final moments before the explosion there was no sign anything was amiss. that presented an obstacle for plant workers trying to flee. The blast forced the closure of the wells and the evacuation of people at ranches and homes within three miles (five kilometers) of the gas facility, which is about 12 miles (19 kilometers) southwest of Reynosa. MIDDLE EAST Protesters accuse local of blasphemy Mediterranean Enclave ASSOCIATED PRESS Pakistani lawyers chant anti-U.S. slogans during a demonstration, near an area that houses the U.S. Embassy and other foreign missions in Islamabad, Pakistan on Wednesday. ISLAMABAD — Demonstrators angry over an anti-Islam film accused a local businessman in southern Pakistan of blasphemy, forcing the police to open a case and driving him and his family into hiding, following an argument that broke out when he refused to join their protest, officials said Wednesday. The incident demonstrates the potential for abuse of the country's strict blasphemy laws as well as the intense feelings the film, which denigrates Islam's Prophet Muhammed, has unleashed in Pakistan. At least two people have died in protests against the film, which has generated widespread animosity across the Muslim world. The incident in the city of Hyderabad began when hundreds of protesters rallied Saturday. Some protesters demanded that businessman Haji Nasrullah Khan shut his roughly 120 shops in solidarity, said police officer Munir Abbasi. When Khan refused, one of his tenants said his decision supported the film, the officer said. The protesters claimed Khan insulted the Prophet while arguing with them, said city police chief Fareed Jan. But he said there was no evidence to suggest the insults really occurred and that police only opened a blasphemy case because they were pressured by the mob. Opening such a case doesn't mean the person is necessarily charged with the crime but that police are investigating him or her. Protesters ransacked Khan's house, and surrounded a police station, refusing to go away until officials opened a blasphemy case, Abbasi said. The situation became even more inflamed when religious leaders from one of the biggest mosques in the city issued an edict calling for Khan's death and announced from the mosque's loudspeakers that he should be killed, Kabbasi said. The police officer said Khan and his family members had gone into hiding in fear for their lives. Under Pakistan's blasphemy laws, anyone found guilty of defiling the holy book, or Quran, or insulting Islam's Prophet Muhammad can face life in prison or death. Critics say the laws are often abused to harass non-Muslims or to settle personal rivalries. Radical Islamist groups have also been behind some of the blasphemy accusations.

Mitt Romney gets in his vehicle as he arrives at Love Field in Dallas on Tuesday, Sept. 18. ASSOCIATED PRESS President Barack Obama waves as he arrives on Air Force One at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Tuesday, Sept. 18, in New York. Poll reveals Romney slipping ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON— Still sour on the state of the U.S. economy, Americans are nonetheless heading into the home stretch to Election Day feeling better about the country's future and about how President Barack Obama is doing his job, a new Associated Press-GFK poll shows. Republican rival Mitt Romney, meanwhile, has lost his pre-convention edge on the economy amid a flurry of distractions that have taken him on a detour from the central message of his campaign. For all of that, neither candidate has managed to break away in the drum-tight presidential race. Obama is supported by 47 percent of likely voters and Romney by 46 percent, according to the poll. The survey was ending just as word surfaced of Romney's caught-on-tape comment that he doesn't worry about the 47 percent of people who pay no income taxes, describing them as believing they are victims and dependent on government. That gap virtually vanishes among likely voters, promising an all-out fight to gin up enthusiasm among core supporters and dominate The poll results vividly underscore the importance that turnout will play in determining the victor in Campaign 2012. Among all adults, Obama has a commanding lead, favored by 52 percent of Americans to just 37 percent for Romney. get-out-the-vote operations. That's an area where Obama claimed a strong advantage in 2008 and Republicans reigned four years earlier. The poll gives both sides reason for hope: —Romney is beckoning to voters unhappy with Obama's handling of the economy, and there is plenty of grim sentiment in the survey. Sixty-five percent of likely voters think the economy is worse off or no better than four years ago, 57 percent don't expect unemployment to ease in the next year and 39 percent don't expect the economy to get any better in the next 12 months. —Obama, for his part, can take encouragement from other findings. His approval rating is back above 50 percent for the first time since May, and the share of Americans who think the country is moving in the right/direction is at its highest level since just after the death of Osama bin Laden in May 2011. And on the economy, 49 percent of adults think things will get better in the next year, up from 41 percent before the conventions. economy or the federal budget deficit, but Obama has narrow advantages on protecting the country, social issues and health care. L'Tonya Ford, a 42-year-old Democrat from Detroit, said that progress on the economy has been slower than shed like but that all signs point to Romney making things worse. Obama's "trying to do something," she says. "Give him four more years and let him do what he doing." Sixty-eight-year-old Vicki Deakins, a Republican sizing up the race from Garland, Texas, is a solid Romney supporter, but she exudes more enthusiasm for GOP running mate Paul Ryan than for Romney himself. "I don't know that Romney knows how to state emphatically, with fire and passion and guts and all that other stuff, what he wants to do," she says. "I don't think he'll be a great orator. But I do think he'll get the job done."

And honestly, that is a hard question for me to answer. I didn't choose KU because I love the basketball tradition, or because the campus is so original. But I picked Kansas because Lawrence is one of the best college towns for music and live concerts. Whenever I go to the library, I always sit next to the prettiest girl I can find in hope that I will one day meet my wife. MUSIC What does Ctrl+F mean?! America: Where when the weather is perfect, we take the bus. That's right, Lawrence is a great place to hear new music and attend live concerts. There are always great concerts going on and artists enjoy coming here. The venues in town are great for college students. The Granada will always have good concerts throughout the entire semester and the same with Liberty Hall. Local bars sometimes have concerts to make a fun atmosphere. No matter where you go in Lawrence, there will always be some sort of music playing. By Ben Carroll bcarroll@kansan.com As a lot of you probably already know, Lawrence used to be the host for the famous outdoor musical event, Wakarusa Festival named after the Wakarusa River. The festival took place at Clinton State Park, but once it got too big it moved out of town, but the great music stayed and isn't going anywhere. Ever since the festival moved to Arkansas, Lawrence has been getting great musicians to perform here and that won't be changing anytime soon. The demand from college students has to go out and see some of your favorite bands. If you don't, you may regret it when you hear from others how great of a show it was. created a good list of bands and artists that come through during the school year. I have been a student at KU since 2010, and I have seen multiple great performances in town. During my freshman year, I went to a Big Krit concert at the Granada. That concert was one of the best shows I have seen in a while. Also, So take advantage of it. Take the time to go to some concerts in town you think you would have fun. If you don't, you will be letting yourself down because in the future after you have left Lawrence, you may not have the same opportunities. at Liberty Hall I saw another great hip-hop show by Atmosphere. And every year Kansas City's very own Tech N9ne makes an appearance in Lawrence. There are concerts all of the time and at least one for everybody to enjoy. Lawrence welcomes all types of genres but hip-hop, rock,and dub-step seem to be the most popular. It is awesome to have such great concerts because it is what makes going to KU so unique. Not everyone gets the experience that KU students do. Lawrence is a one-of-a-kind city with unique art, culture and people, and with that comes great taste in music.

POLITICS By Patrick McFarland Kansas conservatives challenge presidential ballot If you are looking for progressive and forward thinking, Kansas has never been a place to consider. We are reliably a butt for liberal commentators' jokes of backwards thinking. Bill Maher has time and time again referred to us as a state that needs to take the stick out of our ass. I can't say that I was horribly surprised when I read a Kansas man questions Obama's citizenship almost four years after he has taken office. However, even this week the state's extreme conservatives reached a brand new low on Sept. 13 with an opposition to President Obama on the ballot for this fall's election. According to the Topeka Capitol Journal, Joe Montgomery of Manhattan filed an objection to having President Obama on this November's presidential ballot. Montgomery seems to have the Kansas State Objections Board leaning to his case, although not to the extent that Obama's name will not be placed on the Kansas ballot. The Kansas State Objections Board, led by Republican Kris Kobach, who is a Romney supporter, just recently dropped the plea. The Topeka Capital Journal also reported that Montgomery withdrew his complaint because "there has been a great deal of animosity and intimidation directed not only at me but people around me." I feel this may be a moot point considering Kansas' recent electoral history. I'm all for miracles, but the odds that Kansas carries a color other than red on Nov. 6 seem very unlikely. Do citizens have the right to challenge the government? This writer believes they do; however, there should be a limit to the madness of how far this challenging goes. When does the limiting of the voter's choice come into play? Last year the White House released President Obama's birth certificate. I would argue this removed a majority of the theorists, who go by the name "birthers" and doubt that Obama is in fact an American citizen. If that were not enough for the birthers, the state of Hawaii would later confirm that President Obama was in fact born within the confines of their border, making him a citizen of the country of which he is currently president. The conspiracy needs to come to a conclusion before the election approaches. All that arises from the elimination of Obama's name from the ballot is a limited choice for Kansas citizens when they arrive at the polls on Nov. 6. This is yet another example of the extreme shift in the right wing's conservative political views. I believe a majority of the birthers fall under the Tea Party banner. me is the extreme political right in this country infringing on the rights of other American citizens, all while fighting under the banner of small government. I know that Kansas is almost a sure bet for Romney and his Republican ticket. However, it is the principles in this case that I am concerned with. What concerns This is placing a dark shadow over the hard work of the liberty movement, whose small government principles have respect for all citizens. I feel that the extreme right is not giving the respect to the rest of the nation that they are asking for in return. By doing this they are removing the progress made by the fine people of the liberty movement and giving the right wing a bad name among left-wing voters.

POLITICALFIBER.COM Power and the Planet Looking to the future as Kansas moves away from coal energy P ERIC SCHUAMCHER Staff writer, PoliticalFiber.com erns@politicalfiber.com As a four-year fight about coal-powered energy and clean air in Kansas begins drawing to a close, it's time to look toward the future. In 2008, Gov Kathleen Sebelius and the state health department rejected a permit for Sunflower Electric Power Corporation, which planned to construct a coal-burning plant in Southwest Kansas. They denied the permit because of health concerns, and it has since become the subject of a legal and political battle that finally went before the Supreme Court on Aug. 31. When the court hands down its opinion, an issue that has spanned three Kansas governorships may finally be resolved. Then again, public concerns about health and the economy may have already resolved the issue in the minds of many. According to the Energy Information Administration, coal use in April accounted for an all-time low of 32 percent of power generated in the U.S. (it previously accounted for about 50 percent). Coal is now generating the same amount of power as the rapidly growing natural gas industry. In the Midwest especially, natural gas is supplanting the once-dominant coal industry. Kansas harbors one of the five largest untapped deposits of natural gas contained under the surface in shale rock. It would appear that, for better or for worse, Midwestern energy is moving toward natural gas and technological advances and changing economic realities have decided the battle — not the Supreme Court. The environmental groups filing against Sunflower Electric's permit are not wrong; coal power is among the most dangerous in terms of air quality and human health. According to a report by the American Lung Association, coal power is the number one industrial pollution source in the U.S. The report explains that coal emits toxic chemicals like arsenic and lead. Cutting back on coal, or eliminating it entirely, would create countless health benefits and slow the negative effects of greenhouse gases. The economy is also a factor in the decline of coal use. Recent technological advancements have made natural gas production inexpensive. This renders one of coal's biggest assets - its low cost - moot. If coal is on the way out, or at least is destined to share a smaller portion of the energy production pie, what new realities are we looking at? What will happen when energy production is dominated by natural gas? Although concerns about coal may already be resolved, there are still questions regarding our energy needs in the future, and we've barely seen the start. The best solution to meeting these needs may be investing in other sources of energy, such as biofuels, wind, solar and nuclear power. While the move to natural gas greatly reduces the hazards of coal power, it could still be dangerous, and debate about natural gas has already started, especially regarding the drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing.

Start with a spooky hotel and a haunted frat house. Add a couple of creepy cemeteries, old photographs with ghostly apparitions and an entire collection of documented personal experiences. Tour dates are this Saturday, Sept. 22, Oct. 13, Oct. 19, and Oct. 27. The two-hour tour departs from The Eldridge Hotel at 8 p.m. and highlights haunted locations around Lawrence and on campus. Haskell Indian Nations University, the Pioneer cemetery near the Lied Center and Sigma Nu are among For fans of the paranormal or those getting into the spirit of Halloween, the Lawrence Ghost Tour is an opportunity to experience the city from a supernatural standpoint. Beth Rupert has been a Lawrence Ghost Tour guide for five of the 10 years it has existed. She said the tour locations are rich in history and paranormal activity. Although each is different, there have been many paranormal sightings during her tours. Earlier this year, a man on the tour wanted to capture a ghost on film. "When we went to Pioneer Cemetery, I was probably five feet from him and he actually took a picture, called me over, and you could see that there was a full-body apparition of a man, and he was walking sideways," Rupert said. She encourages spectators to bring their cameras and flashlights on the tour, and to keep an eye out. More than one group has seen ghosts and full-body apparitions, and some have seen a little boy in the Haskell cemetery. "just pay attention to what's going on," she said, "and you might be amazed by what you see." "They had heard voices coming from a corridor of this area in the school building and they turned around and there was no one there," she said. "It was really weird." Freshman Natalie Hiebert has been on the Lawrence Ghost Tour twice with her family. A believer in the paranormal, she remembers one story she heard at Haskell that stuck with her. "You learn about Lawrence in a different way," she said. "It's a fun thing to do, and it gives you goosebumps just a little bit." Hiebert said the tour was a "really cool" way to experience her hometown's ghostly past. The members of Sigma Nu conduct the tours at their fraternity, which is supposedly haunted by the mysteriously-hanged mistress of a former Kansas governor. her arms, and she's looking right down at me and she's smiling," said Law. "I didn't know how to react, so I just pulled my blanket over my head and just sat there for a few seconds like." "This isn't happening." Although the tour is designed for everyone over the age of 12 to enjoy, Rupert believes it can hold special significance with KU students. "I woke up at three in the morning . . . and all of a sudden I turned to my right and I see this woman in a black and white kind of maid-themed dress, and she's crossing Kendall Law, a junior from Lenexa, claims he's been visited by the entity at the house twice in the past two weeks. "This is real. This is right where they live, especially if they're on campus and they are students." Rupert said. "We talk about some of the history right around them." Tickets are $17 for this Saturday and $20 for the October dates. For more information about the tours or to purchase tickets, visit www.ghostourskansas.com. "And you never know if you're going to end up seeing a ghost or not," she added. SINCE 1974 KEEPING THE HAWKS ROLLING SINCE 1974 Edited by Sarah McCabe GHOST TOUR VIDEO Don's Auto Center Inc. Auto Repair and Machine Shop 785.841.4833 11th & Haskell 13706529810 STYLE IHANE Media provides fashion inspiration CALLAN REILLY-PINA/KANSAN Angelo Huffman fluctuates between urban and preppy styles. Huffman says he takes style inspiration from movies, TV, blogs and celebrities. Rarely do you hear about people combining preppy and urban together, but this tactic is exactly what struck me to Huffman's unique style. Creating different characters within his wardrobe makes this KU student stand out on campus. When asking Huffman to explain his personal style, he described it as, "a little bit of everything. I have a lot of urban clothing, and preppy clothing also. I used to be an athlete, so I have a lot of gym wear too." Taking fashion ideas from celebrities, blogs, TV shows and other media sources are a great way to spruce up any closet. My personal favorite idea source would have to be the infamous reality CALLAN REILLY-PINA editor@kansan.com As for inspiration, Huffman looks towards media outlets. "I try to keep up with the stuff that's in," he said. "I shop around a lot, but I watch a lot of TV too, since I'm a film major. I see stuff on TV and try to mix and match and incorporate it into my own stuff." When pondering fashion, one of the first things that come to mind typically aren't male college students. Popular fashions among young adult males usually include a simple, and sometimes predictable, wardrobe. While I personally don't mind a simple dresser when it comes to guys, (it allows my amazing style to shine through without any distractions), occasionally switching it up can be a serious eye opener. Junior film student Angelo Huffman is a man of many styles, and shares how he pulls off his diverse wardrobe ever so perfectly. CALLAN REILLY-PINA/KANSAN Junior Angelo Huffman shows off his preppier style. show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Yes, they're everywhere, and yes, they're ridiculous, but no one can deny the fabulous style the celebrity family has. Without their impeccable wardrobes, my own fashion inspiration would be shot. Celebrities and other people in the media can be great canvases for any style. Dabbling in unknown style territory can be a great way for guys, and girls, to explore fashion this season. Don't be afraid to step outside the box. Changing it up can never hurt, as long as you're still comfortable. However, be sure to not overdo it. Skintight clothing, tank tops, massive bling or large A. F. K. M. amounts of pastels are a few things to stray away from. Boys, bottom line, we want to see you, just maybe a slightly more stylish version. Edited by Sarah McCabe CRYPTOQUIP MZX MSCF ZYSI RMITKMTIXR YIX YKMSCP KWLJGXMXGF YHRTIA.

MUSIC Indie band at Jackpot KELSEY HAVENS khavens@kansan.com Communist Daughter, a Minneapolis native band, will be performing at Jackpot Saloon this Thursday, Sept. 20. While most indie-rock music fans associate the name Communist Daughter with the title of a song by Neutral Milk Hotel, the band has taken on the name as their own. Since the album's release in April of 2010, Communist Daughter has had two songs on Grey's Anatomy, one being "Speed of Sound," in addition to being named NPR's favorite in-studio session of 2010. Their performances are sprinkled with stories to validate each song meaning, and the harmony between Solomon and vocalist Molly Moore elevates their music to a new level. Frontman Johnny Solomon walked away from music a few years back while he struggled with mental health and addiction, but since then he has revisited music with a clean and sober outlook. Solomon turned his troubles into songs about what he personally was going through at the time, creating a very relatable onstage presence that the band posses as a whole. The song "Speed of Sound," from the band's first album "Soundtrack to the End," opens with Solomon singing, "Man I hate this town / So I'm looking for the only way out / And the life I wanted years ago is maybe not the life I should have found." personal level of his songs in an interview with Earbuddy, Solomon responded by saying, "I guess I am not really worried about it in regards to how personal my songs are. It's how I write. I'm not an entertainer, I'm a songwriter, and I write what I know." TROUFON Edited by Sarah McCabe Solomon, now married to Moore, has continued to pour his personal life into his songs, and the band's most recent release, "Lions and Lambs," proves that this method works wonders. When asked if he was worried about the Communist Daughter will be in town today playing at Jackpot Saloon. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Donate plasma today and earn up to $300 a month!

LIED CENTER OF KANSAS flied.ku.edu | 785-864-2787 EXCESS HOLLYWOOD WITH LANDON McDONALD 'For A Good Time Call...' not a good time LANDON MCDONALD imcdonald@kansan.com If you're looking for a female buddy movie that doesn't end with a death plunge into the Grand Canyon, please stay on hold. "For A Good Time Call... plays like the promising first draft of what could have been a riotous sex romp in the tradition of "Bridesmaids" and "Chasing Amy." Yet despite two vivacious leading ladies and a refreshingly smutty premise, the film seems content to wallow in chuckle-worthy formula instead of mining for richer veins of comic absurdity. What's left is a sporadically amusing R-rated sitcom that seems dangerously extended even at 85 minutes. After her dunderheaded boyfriend dumps her mid-coitus, professional twenty-something Lauren (Lauren Miller) is left to wander the streets of New York, or rather the sunny, hospitable New York that only seems to exist in featherweight comedies and the soma-glow of daytime TV. Suspiciously lavish apartments and sassy gay friends are plentiful here, and soon Lauren is moving into a suspiciously lavish apartment overlooking Gramercy Park thanks to her sassy gay friend Jesse (Justin Long). Lauren is dismayed to find that she must share this living space with debauched party-girl Katie (Ari Graynor), whose late grandmother owned the apartment Katie and Lauren have a history together, dating back to a urine-soaked episode from their college days. The prudish Lauren freaks out when she discovers that Katie works nights as a phone sex operator, but money worries soon force the girls to join forces and start their own sexline. Friendship and masturbation jokes ensue. Miller and Graynor play off each other well, even though they often struggle to move past the standard odd-couple dynamics. The script seems ambivalent about whether or not they're becoming more than friends, an intriguing potential that's never truthfully explored. Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing, Graynor and Miller, who co-wrote the screenplay with Katie Anne Naylon, Miller's ex-roommate and the real-life inspiration for the Katie character. From them I learned that although "For A Good Time Call..." boasts the over-lit sheen of a studio comedy, the actual film was made in just 16 days on a relatively modest budget. This explains its peppy, earnest energy, as well as some of the script's wilder inconsistencies. Time and rewrites can work wonders. Here's hoping their next effort contains more of both. While it's gratifying to see the cheerfully graynor graduate from scene-nearing performances in films like "The Sitter" and "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," the recent "Celeste and Jesse Forever" was a far better showcase for her talents as a budding comedienne. Long's shrill, mincing Jesse is a character we could probably do without. Miller's husband Seth Rogen and filmmaker Kevin Smith appear in brief cameos, both playing enthusiastic regular callers who end up supplying the film's biggest laughs. FINAL RATING ★★★☆☆ —Edited by Stéphane Roque Eastwood still ahead of the curve LANDON MCDONALD lmcdonald@kansan.com Even at 82, Clint Eastwood is showing no sign of hanging up his guns. The iconic action star officially retired from acting after 2008's "Gran Torino," intending to focus on his second career as the celebrated director and composer of mature, thoughtful Oscar bait. That was before this year's Republican National Convention, where he turned a stuffy political rally into a mystifying one-man show with help from a chair and its foulmouthed, invisible occupant. Perhaps it was this passion for inanimate objects that compelled him to resume working in front of the camera for Robert Lorenz's "Trouble with the Curve," a creaky predictable baseball drama buoyed by the talent of an unusually distinguished cast. Eastwood stars as Gus, a veteran scout whose deteriorating eyesight threatens to force him out of the game for good. Concerned for his friend's future, fellow scout Pete (the invaluable John Goodman) asks Gus's estranged daughter Mickey (Amy Adams) to act as her old man's eyes on a recruiting trip that could save his job. From there the film settles into a willfully conventional father-daughter redemption arc, where every plot point is telegraphed hours in advance, with no room for subtlety or much in the way of authentic character development. The film's nominal villains, including Gus's smarmy upstart rival (Matthew Lillard) and a mean-spirited prospect (Joe Massingill), may as well be sporting black hats and twirled mustaches. Plot contrivances aside, the performers are the film's saving grace. Adams nails Mickey's transformation from hypertensive desk jockey to empowered tomboy. Justin Timberlake, whose work as an actor has been steadily improving since "The Social Network," summons his goofiest aw-shucks grin to play Johnny "The Flame" Flanagan, a burnt out pitcher-turned-scout who benefits from Gus's crusty tutelage and, you guessed it, ends up falling for Mickey. Eastwood himself appears to be treading water in early scenes, relying on his grumpy old man persona to see him through an undemanding role. Yet as "Trouble with the Curve" progressed, I was struck by how invested he seemed in the character. There's a tangible melancholy to his scenes with Adams, a sense of regret more powerful than a film like this frankly deserves. I honestly can't think of another actor who could warble a gravely graveside rendition of "You Are My Sunshine" without eliciting jeers from the audience. But then Eastwood has never been one to shy away from self-deprecation. His proto-Batman growl and steel-trap glare, the same qualities that made Dirty Harry so intimidating, are often employed to great comic effect here. At one point he even stops mid-way through a barron fight to bark, "Get out of here, before I have a heart attack trying to kill you!" If only the rest of "Trouble with the Curve" could match his stats. FINAL RATING Edited by Ryan McCarthy THE REAT HIVE West's style evolves with 'Cruel Summer' DUNCAN MCHENRY dmchenrv@kansan.com THE BEAT HIVE Kanye West launched his career in the early 2000s by taking classic R&B samples and turning them into hip-hop bounce. He was a molder of music and rapper style, pairing chunky gold chains with prep school fashion. The West of 2012 is a diamond-studded celebrity first who also happens to rap and produce. His collaborative album "Cruel Summer" includes members and friends of the new label G.O.O.D. Music and reflects West's evolving persona and musical tastes. The syncopated soul of earlier songs like "Slow Jamz" and "Heard Em' Say" has been replaced by low-end buzz, machine gun snares and brash lyrics. This sonic shift hasn't diminished West's influence on the hip-hop world. 808 and Heartbreak-heavy singles from "Cruel Summer" have been rattling car windows and ascending the charts since last April. But a good slice of the pre-released music feels like old news as a result, and the fresher content struggles to pull everything together. "Cruel Summer" is more of a glossy mixtape assembled by West to showcase his label's muscle than a cohesive group of songs. The R&B track "Bliss," for example, gets lost in the rap maelstrom despite smooth singing from John Legend and Teyana Taylor. Hits like "Mercy" and "Clique," while certified club bangers, also drown out the album's less emphatic moments. "Higher" is snake-charmingly melodic with The Dream singing an introduction tinged with the perfect amount of autotune. Unfortunately, it feels out of place behind "Cold," an unapologetic ode to mink furs and $6,000 shoes. "Cruel Summer" features verses from seasoned Wu-Tang ensembles Raekwon and Ghostface Killah Pusha-T's emergence is the album's top lyricist is a pleasant surprise. On the song "Higher," he growls and explores internal rhyme: "Get raunchy in Givenchy, my palm reads / Passports, Pinot Noir in arm's reach." "Cruel Summer" is essentially a loose collection of singles. Nevertheless, listeners should anticipate plenty more good music.

This season the team looks to make some strides so that the World Series will be within reach by the end of the year. KALS JOSEPH DAUGHERTY jdaugherty@kansan.com Last year the Kansas club softball enjoyed its best season to date. Now the team hopes great chemistry and a back to basics approach to hitting will lead the team even further this season. The team is coming off its first appearance in the National Club Softball Association World Series and is in its third year as a member. The team believes that the experience gained from the World Series will give them things to improve on so they can come back a better team. "We need to improve on our situational hitting and pitching deep into games," club softball coach Mark Hays said. "To improve on our hitting, we are doing a lot more selective hitting drills and working on the mechanics of the swing." Despite half of the team being newcomers this year, many of the girls believe that the team's chemistry will be a great help this year. CONTRIRITED PHOTO Team president, Kendall Knott, said that through all of her four years with the team, this is the most closely knit group that they have had. She said there are no cliques, and they are just one big happy family. The team seems to have one "When you're playing softball you have to trust your girls. For instance, when you're turning a double play, the shortstop has to trust the first baseman," Knott said. "Being able to trust your girls will lead to a better team in the long run because you will be more cohesive and fluent." common goal: to win their conference and qualify for the World Series. The team believes that the chance to go to the World Series last year will greatly benefit them this year. Sophomore third baseman Courtney Lutman said that they did not do as well as they wanted to last year because they didn't know what to expect when they got to the World Series. But she said it was a great experience because the team took everything they struggled with there and have been working on it this year. "We are taking what we struggled with in the World Series and implementing them into practice," sophomore Tiera Dunning said. "We have been working on our hitting technique, and even though our fielding was pretty good, we are working on making it even stronger." Many of the girls have personal goals as well as the team goals for the season and are working hard to achieve them. Knott said that she has been on a strict workout regimen so that she will be able to go deeper into games. She said that she only pitched at times last season and is expected to take on more pitching responsibilities this season. Both Lutman and Dunning are both concentrating on improving their hitting and making more contact this season. The team members and coach alike feel like the team is poised for a great season. With the combination of great team chemistry and their improvements on their weaknesses from last season, the players and coach believe they can compete for a NCSA World Series championship. Coach Hays believes that hitting and defense will be the team's strengths this season. He expects there to be a lot more power and contact hitters in the lineup. If he had a major concern it would be pitching depth because they lost a lot of their regular starters from last season. He wants his pitchers to focus on going deep in to games. Hays believes that they are a top 15 team and will be able to compete for a title.

CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN Flag football leagues offer different levels of competition MARK POULOSE editor@kansan.com Many students have fond memories of playing little league sports as a kid: mom and dad on the sidelines cheering them on, orange slices at halftime and drama filled endings to rec-league games. For many students, increased levels of competition, school and other interests force them away from playing the sports that ruled their childhood dreams. With the increased popularity of professional sports — and specifically professional football — students' interest in playing is constantly growing. For Austin Dupont, a sophomore from Davenport, Iowa, intramural sports are a chance for him to play the games he loves with his friends in a competitive environment. "I like to pay tribute to fellow Iowan Kurt Warner on the field when I play the quarterback position as I play with a glove on each hand, just like Kurt," Dupont said. The University of Kansas offers three levels of play. The "competitive" leagues is for teams with diversified playbooks with multiple sets, formations and schemes, and most players have previous playing experience. The "open" division holds The healthy competition also provides an escape from stressful course loads for students such as Pete Martinez, a junior from Kansas City, Kan. true to its namesake and possesses teams of all calibers, ranging from beginner to advanced, while the "rec" league offers a more laid back, yet still competitive, environment.

Forward Jamie Fletcher dribbles the ball around a Denver defender.The Jayhawks lost to Denver on Friday night, Sept. 14, in a 0-1 defeat Trekking to the Midwest from Albuquerque, N.M. Fletcher is wasting no time in creating a presence on the Jayhawk squad. She made a memorable debut by scoring three goals in her first two games. Last year, she not only had the best freshman debout in Kansas history, but Fletcher was awarded Big 12 Newcomer of the Week for her explosive performance. Fletcher started all 21 games her freshman year, a trend she has carried over into this season. At the end of last season, she tallied up four assists and seven goals, two of which were game winners. She finished fourth amongst her teammates, ending with 18 points on the season. Fletcher is not slowing down this year as she looks to improve upon a terrific start to her career as a Jayhawk. "Id like to improve on everything," Fletcher said. "I can be quicker, I can be stronger; you can always improve on everything." Already matching her total number of assists from last season before conference play has even begun, Fletcher has made a brilliant effort in staying involved with any offensive play, whether it is setting up a teammate or scoring herself. She has amassed eight points on the season so far, with four assists and two goals. And those numbers will only increase as the season continues to progress. Fletcher has already attempted 32 shots, 12 of which have been on goal. It will only be a matter of time before the ball finds the back of the net, as Fletcher has done so many times before, if she continues to play with her insistent, intense style of play. "Right now I play center-mid, and personally I like it better [than forward] because I get more of the ball," Fletcher said. "I like playing [offensively] so I can score." Two weekends ago, Fletcher played a huge role in助着 the Jayhawks to victory. She got the game rolling against Missouri State in the 7th, scoring within the first 10 minutes after tapping in a ball from fellow forward junior Caroline Kastor. Kastor and Fletcher would click for the rest of the weekend, as Kastor would score against both Missouri State and NC State from Fletcher's passes. When the forward duo are in-sync, they are a deadly combination for opponents to face on the pitch. "I think they will continue to develop their relationship and continue to score," head coach Mark Francis said. Fletcher starting playing soccer when she was five before switching it up to try and play softball. By the time she was nine, however, she switched back to soccer, a decision that the lajhayws have benefited from many years later. When not on the pitch or in the classroom, Fletcher is watching documentaries and indie films, a passion that she hopes to turn into a career after she graduates with a major in Film. "I'd like to be a documentary filmmaker, traveling around Europe with a backpack and a mophead," said Fletcher. TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN While soccer is not part of her post-college plans currently, Fletcher has definitely made a positive impact by playing on the Jayhawk squad with a year and half already behind her. Still half a season and two more potential years ahead of her, Fletcher has plenty of opportunities to continue scoring and helping her team improve while also bettering her own skills. Her next chance to utilize her talents will be this Friday at 5 p.m., as the Jayhawks host conference rival Oklahoma State here in Lawrence.

The Jayhawks lost 0-1 to Denver on Friday night. Soccer team prepares for league play NICOLE EVANS nevans@kansan.com A tough, offensive Denver squad formed up on the pitch last weekend in Lawrence, catching the lajwahys by surprise and ultimately winning the match 1-0. The Pioneers created a very physical, foul-oriented After being shutout for the first time this season, the Jayhawks hope to redeem themselves this Friday, when conference play finally begins. Denver has a very similar style of play as Kansas and a strong core in the midfield, so the Jayhawks expected to be more evenly matched against the Denver Pioneers. Kansas was slow to respond during the first half as the Pioneers maintained possession and controlled the tempo of the game by dominating the midfield, scoring the single goal of atmosphere that Kansas has not been faced with often this season. This brought Kansas' current standings to 6-2-1 on the season. the match in the 18th minute off a free kick. Yet Kansas was not an absent presence on the pitch. After allowing a goal off a set piece — something Kansas has struggled with all season — the team increased their level of play, especially during the second half. They created plenty of chances, outshooting the Pioneers 11-1 in the second half, but only managed to send five shots on target. Defending set pieces and capitalizing on opportunities continues to plague the lajawhacks this season. "We've given up most of our goals on set pieces, but really, we've done a pretty good job defending set pieces. It's really just been a mental or focus breakdown," head coach Mark Francis said. "However, in the run of play, we're not giving up a lot of goals, and our defensive has improved." However, the lajayhaws will not allow the unfortunate loss to trip them up, as they are using the game against Denver as a learning tool for the rest of the season. They turn focus toward Oklahoma State, who they play Friday for their first taste of conference play this season. "The they have a really good goalie, so we're just going to focus on finishing," said senior midfielder/forward Whitney Berry. "Hopefully we can get any little kinks out to improve where we shoot the ball and score." Oklahoma State carries an impressive 9-1-0 record into Lawrence, currently riding on a three game winning streak at home. Their only loss came from the University of Oklahoma on the road. Kansas hopes to use their home field advantage to give the Cowgirls their second loss of the season on the road. "We've got to take advantage that we're at home this weekend," Francis said. Oklahoma State has been strong defensively this season, with senior goalkeeper Adrianna Frannie earning her fourth shutout of the year against Fresno State last Sunday. Kansas' own goalkeeper, senior Kat Liebetrau, has three shutouts on the season. Last season, the Jayhawks struggled with allowing too many chances and too many goals. They have managed to turn that around this season, allowing their opponents only nine goals from 82 total shot attempts. The Jayhawks were 3-5-0 last season during conference play. And the last time these two teams battled, Kansas fell short, losing 2-0 at home. Kansas does not plan to let history repeat itself, as the team has a strong chemistry that allows them to take down opponents — if they play at the level they are capable of playing and have displayed many times this season. "It's really going to come down to individual match-ups," Francis said. "They are very similar to us [in style of play], so it will be key for us to win those individual battles." After coming off of one-game weekends, both teams should be well-rested going into Friday's game. The Cowgirls will be driven by the desire to extend their current win-streak, while Kansas looks to redeem themselves from last weekend and start conference play with a victory.

You're going to stick up for him more than somebody else's player first. But this time, I'm not even being partial towards Cabera." Detroit Tigers coach Jim Leyland Source : ESPN.com FACT OF THE DAY The last player to win the leagues' Triple Crown award was Carl Vrastzenki of the Boston Red Sox in 1967. - Freep.com (Detroit Free Press) TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who was the last player to win the rookie of the year and MVP in the same season? A: ichiro Suzuki (2001) for the Seattle Mariners Si.com matters THE MORNING BREW Young star battles seasoned veteran for AL MVP This year the American League's MVP race is going down to the wire. There aren't three or four candidates up for consideration this year, there's only two; Anaheim Angels rookie phenom Mike Trout and the Detroit Tigers veteran star, Miguel Cabrera. By Drew Harms dharms@kansan.com Trout is the Angels' 21-year-old center fielder who has had the biggest breakout year in ages for a rookie. Trout's numbers at the plate include a batting average of .327, 27 home runs and 77 RBIs. These numbers alone should be able to qualify any major league player for consideration for an MVP, but Trout has 46 stolen bases in 50 attempts to go along with his production at the plate. The bottom line: Trout doesn't get caught much. Not to mention he's a stud in center field, robbing four potential home runs this year. Trout is a special breed of player because he succeeds in every major statistical category. Trout can hit for power, score runs at will, steal a base at any given time and track down nearly any ball that comes his way near center field. Normally the stars in this league thrive in one or two batting categories, such as HRs or RBIs, but they might struggle with keeping a high batting average or striking out a bunch. For example the Chicago White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn has great power numbers with 39 HRs and 90 RBIs, but Dunn's batting average of .211 is atrocious. Trout succeeds in all the different batting categories, which make him so unique when compared with other players in the league. With Albert Pujols coming over to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim from the St. Louis Cardinals and getting a monster contract, 10 years and $250 million, he was supposed to be the face of the franchise. Pujols has picked up his game of late but went on a huge slump to start the year. Mike Trout came alive and produced early and has out-shined Pujols. Trout is now the most talked about player on the Angels by the fans and media, and rightfully so. There is another special player out there besides Trout who is right now leading the AL in batting average. HR and RBIs and is considered the MLB's best hitter: Miguel Cabrera. According to many experts, Cabrera was in second place in the A1MVP race just a few days back, but after his big game against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday, he made the case for why he should be in first. Cabrera went 3-4 at the plate hitting a grand slam, solo home run and a double. Cabrera finished with six RBIs as well, and he raised his batting average up three points to .333. The MVP award also accounts for which player finishes hot and how the candidate's team is doing. Over the last seven days Trout has only five hits in his last 22 plate appearances with no home runs or RBIs. Cabrera on the other hand has 13 hits in his last 26 plate appearances, four home runs and 12 RBIs in his last seven games. So it's obvious Cabrera has the hotter bat right now, and this could be a huge factor in determining the winner. If these numbers keep up, Cabrera's statistics will likely keep increasing with Trout's numbers either declining or staying mostly the same. As far as their given teams go, Trout's Angels are three games behind the New York Yankees for the AL's final wild card spot, and Cabrera's Tigers are five and a half games behind the Yankees. If one of these teams were to go on a run at the end of the season, make the playoffs and get big time contributions from either Trout or Cabrera, this would provide a huge boost in their final MVP candidacy. KU Cabrera leads the AL in every major batting statistical category and is not just pushing for the MVP award but also for the Triple Crown. This would be a monumental achievement because no one has won the Triple Crown Award in 45 years. In Cabrera's previous MLB seasons he has been a star but has flown under the radar and been overshadowed by some of the bigger MLB stars. For instance, Cabrera has finished in the top five for the final MVP votes six separate times in his career but has never won it. This year Cabrera's game is on another level, and if he could win the Triple Crown, it would be hard to argue against Cabrera's success even with the brilliant season of the young Trout. Some fans and experts think it's Trout by a landslide, while others believe that Cabrera is running away with the award. One things for sure is that this race is going to come down to the last few weeks of the season, and whoever steps up individually and helps their team succeed at the end will receive the AL MVP. — Edited by Stéphane Roque This week in athletics Thursday No events scheduled Friday 8 Women's Soccer Oklahoma State 5 p.m. Lawrence Saturday MILKMAN FILMSTUDIO Women's Tennis KU Tournament All Day Lawrence Football Northern Illinois 2:30 p.m. DeKalb, III.

BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com STARTING LINEUP OFFENSE The return of James Sims is upon Jayhawk nation. Last year's leading rusher for Kansas missed the first three games with a DUI suspension, but there isn't a better opponent for Sims to make his 2012 debat against. When the Huskies visited Lawrence in 2011, Sims ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns — his best game of the season. Kansas already has two solid hundred-yard backs in Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox, but adding Sims into the mix will be a welcomed challenge for the Kansas coaching staff. Pos.

With a nation leading 12 turnovers, it's not hard to see why. Kansas had only 18 turnovers in 2011. At this rate the Jayhawks could eclipse that mark in two more games. While Kansas still has trouble holding its opponents to shorter drives, the bend-don't-break mentality has kept the Jayhawks very much alive in their last two games. Pos.

The Kansas coaches have said that Sims lost weight and looks faster, but will it translate to production? Sims hasn't been in a game this year; will he need time to get back into game mode? And how will Wells use his three back rotation? Weis is known as a pass-happy coordinator with an affection for quarter-backs. Will the pass game die down in wake of a stronger backfield? SPECIAL TEAMS Sims is not the only Jayhawk returning from a three-game suspension this week. Long snapper Justin Carnes will also suit up for Kansas for the first time this season, but that doesn't mean he'll start right away. Kansas coach Charlie Weis said Carnes will have to work outreilly Jeffers in practice to secure his spot back. It was Jeffers who took over snapping duties in Carnes absence. BY THE NUMBERS Yards Kansas quarterback Jordan Webb passed for against NU last season. Total points Kansas has allowed on its current 13 road game losing streak 531 281 Tony Pierson got a shot at making some receptions for the Jayhawks against TCU and ended up with 99 yards in the passing game. With Sims returning to the backfield, it might not be the last time Pierson is open downfield. Running backs coach Reggie Mitchell said that Pierson is still looking at 15 carries a game even with the three back rotation, but that didn't include catches. Motioning Pierson out of the backfield can only add to Weis' decisive schematic advantage. PLAYER TO WATCH AT A GLANCE Northern Illinois is returning virtually its entire defense from last year's team that lost 45-42 in Lawrence. The Jayhawks were able to establish an effective ground game in that match, rushing for 295 yards and three touchdowns against the Huskies. Kansas will no doubt try to replicate its run success this week at NIU. MOMENTUM COACHING Coach Weis doesn't believe in moral victories, but that doesn't mean there weren't some positives to come out of Kansas loss to TCU. The defense forced three turnovers and was able to slow down the Horned Frogs in the red zone. Keeping games close may be the biggest proving ground for the Jayhawks this season. With film from last year and NIU returning an identical defense from 2011, coach Charlie Wels should have a good base for a deadly offensive scheme. Without question the run game pulled out a victory for Kansas, but that was in part because of a nonthreatening passing game. If Kansas can establish its run game again, more options will open up in the air. On the defensive side, Dave Campo will look to tighten up the tackling, which has been an issue for Kansas throughout its last two games. BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ... Kansas wins. With this team, in this game, it's that simple. The Jayhawks haven't won a road game in 13 tries dating back to 2009, and NIU presents a challenge the Jayhawks have been able to overcome in the past. The turnovers and hundred-yard rushing games mean little without a victory to accompany them. Share your tips with us online! @KUtechnology f Student Tip #210 THIS LAB IS YOUR LAB That's right.

Doeren has coached football at the college level for 17 years. As an assistant coach of five different programs prior to joining Northern Illinois, he helped coach his teams to eight bowl games and two national championships. Doeren was the linebackers coach under former Kansas coach Mark Mangino. STARTING LINEUP COACHING Sophomore Tommylee Lewis takes care of the kick-return duties and senior Perez Ashford hand the punt-return duties. Neither team has shined nor made an impact in the return game so far this season. Junior kicker Mathew Sims has made one kick out of two attempts so far this season. The biggest unknown will be whether or not Doeren is comfortable in Sims' ability to make long-range field goals. In Sims' career, he has made 70 percent of his field goals with his longest being a 44-yarder in two different games. NORTHERN ILLINOIS ING LINEUP 6 bowl appearances since 2000 18 returning starters for Northern Illinois. PLAYER TO WATCH Dating back to October 3rd, 2009, Northern Illinois has won 16 consecutive home games. With Kansas currently riding a 16-road game losing streak, including games played at neutral locations, the fans at Huskie Stadium could play a role in helping the home team win. But of course, Doeren has to coach his team to be ready and will use the winning streak at home as motivation. Senior wide receiver Martel Moore is doing what he can to impress scouts before his time at Northern Illinois is over. Moore's receptions, yards and touchdowns have gone up each game. Moore elevated Northern Illinois over Army in their 41-40 win when he snagged seven receptions for 134 yards and a pair of touchdowns. MOMENTUM AT A GLANCE Northern Illinois has been up and down so far this season. In the three games they have played, the amount of points scored and given up varied from each game. The Huskies are not something Doeren outlined when taking over in his first season as the coach. A win over a Big 12 team would motivate Northern Illinois and give them some bragging rights in the Mid-American Conference. OFFENSE Junior quarterback Jordan Lynch has a big responsibility for Northern Illinois against a Kansas defense that is tied for first in the nation in takeaways. He flourished last week against Army when he threw four touchdown passes, finding three different receivers in the end zone in a high-scoring match. Lynch also led the team in rushing yards with 125 yards from 13 carries with a touchdown on the ground. With 68 percent of the passes and rushes from Lynch last week, Northern Illinois offense will need to rally around him against Kansas. Pos.

The Huskies conceded 846 rushing yards this season in just three games. Doeren, a former defensive assistant before joining Northern Illinois, has preached to his defense all week that they need to stop the run. Pierson, Sims and Cox are capable of breaking through the defense and finding the end zone if the Huskies give them a lane to follow. The Huskies have only one game where they have caused turnovers and hope they can give senior quarterback Dayne Crist some problems to get more takeaways. DEFENSE Pos.

S Jimmie Ward 15 Sr. P Ryan Neir 18 Sr. Sophomore running back Tony Pierson and junior running back Taylor Cox have highlighted the biggest strength Kansas has. With the rushing game being held to high standards, Northern Illinois needs senior defensive ends Alan Baxter and Sean Progar to step up at the defensive line. Co-defensive coordinators Jay Niemann and Ryan Nielson need to implement a game plan for the Huskies defense to limit the Jayhawks on the ground in order to give them a good chance to win. QUESTION MARKS Can Northern Illinois stop the Jayhawks ground attack? BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ... Northern Illinois successfully stops the run. Army rushed for 486 yards last week and scored a half-dozen touchdowns on the ground. The Huskies must come up with a game plan to stop the rushing attack Kansas will bring in, especially with junior running back James Sims returning for the Jayhawks. DUDE, IT'S FOR ST.

Oklahoma has received a lot of exposure from the national media, but Kansas State has climbed its way up in the top 25 rankings. Both teams have showcased high-scoring offenses. The Sooners have averaged 46.5 points per game this season, while the Wildcats have averaged 46 points per game and scored 103 points in their first two games combined. Oklahoma senior quarterback Landry Jones started slow in the season opener but has had a strong running game to lean on. Junior running back Damien Williams rushed for 156 yards and four touchdowns as the Sooners scored eight on the ground against Florida A&M two weeks ago in their last game. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder is thrilled to see what senior quarterback Collin Klein has done on the field to help the Wildcats get off to a 3-0 start. Klein has thrown for over 600 yards in three games and completed over 70 percent of his passes, throwing the football to where only his receivers can make the play. Klein has also been busy on the ground with 210 rushing yards while leading the team in touchdowns with four. Neither team has given up more than 21 points per game. Both defenses will be tested, but it will be Oklahoma's defense standing tall in the end. The Sooners have only given up six third downs in two games. With Kansas State going on the road, Klein must carry over his versatility to give his team a chance to win. Oklahoma wins, 35-21 MARWAND WV WARRAND W Maryland 2-1 (0-0) at #8 West Virginia 2-0 (0-0) West Virginia dominated its first two games and have been led by senior quarterback Geno Smith. He has completed 88 percent of his passes while throwing nine touchdowns on the season. He has yet to throw an interception or take a sack on the year. Maryland has allowed at least 21 points in their last two games, giving the Mountaineers' offense a perfect opportunity to score a lot of points in this game. However, with a chance of rain, Smith may end up handing the ball off more than he has this season. With a strong supporting cast, there is a chance Smith could prove that he can play in any condition and continue to make a case for himself as the next Heisman Trophy winner. West Virginia wins, 41-10 V TCU Virginia 2-1 (0-1) at #17 Texas Christian 2-0 (1-0) After shutting down Grambling State and scoring 56 points to start off a new year, TCU struggled to find the end zone against Kansas in its first Big 12 conference match. Junior quarterback Casey Pachall still has the best quarterback rating in the nation, but he wants to rebound after being responsible for three of the four fumbles committed by the Horned Frogs. All four fumbles occurred inside the 25-yard line. Luckily for TCU's offense, coach Gary Patterson was pleased with the defensive effort to hold Kansas to only two field goals. TCU will have an opportunity to turn things around against an inconsistent Virginia team that gave up 56 points to Georgia Tech. TCU wins, 45-13 Baylor 2-0 (0-0), in 2000 Monroe 1-1 (0-0) STATON BEARS ULM Baylor coach Art Briles is content with what he has seen from senior quarterback Nick Florence. Florence has lifted the Bears this season by throwing for 653 yards and seven touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Terrance Williams and junior wide receiver Tevin Reese have been more than serviceable receivers for Florence. But Louisiana-Monroe is 1-1 after both of their contests were decided by three points in overtime. They stunned Arkansas but fell to Auburn, giving up 31 points in each game. Louisiana-Monroe will give Florence a test, and by the time this game is over, Baylor's offense will have a lot to learn before kicking off conference play against West Virginia.

By Kory Carpenter kcarpenter@kansan.com It's not Dayne Crist's fault he's not Tom Brady, the three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback under offensive coordinator Charlie Weis. It's Charlie Weis' fault for not realizing the difference. Weis, who talked all offseason about the changes he's made since his mostly failed tenure at Notre Dame, has spent the first three weeks of the season trying to show everyone he's found another great player under center. Crist has gone from overwhelmed to average in three games, throwing just two touchdown passes to go with his four interceptions. His receivers haven't done him any favors either, running routes like they told the defense the play call before the snap and dropping passes you'd expect to be caught in the Pop Warner league. Weis has depended on Crist and the passing game as if the Kansas running attack can't be trusted, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Led by junior running back Taylor Cox and sophomore running back Tony Pierson, the Jayhawks are averaging 4.9 yards per rush. That number isn't inflated from the week one victory over lower-level South Dakota State, either. Last Saturday against TCU, Cox and Pierson averaged 4.1 yards per attempt. They were handed the ball just 20 times in a'game Kansas lost, 20-6. NEW KID ON THE BLOCK 36 6 Three-and-outs don't accomplish that; they only give Weis an opportunity to prove he found a diamond in the rough with Crist. When that backfires, the real hope for Kansas victories idly watch as the passing game screws something else up. Weis said he changed a lot between his time at Notre Dame and being hired at Kansas last winter. There won't be a better time to see if that's true than Saturday at Northern Illinois. The Huskies gave up 486 rushing yards to Army last weekend. In the second half Kansas began down 10-6 with the ball. Weis called for a run seven times as TCU ate up the clock on methodical drives that Weis and company apparently disdained. Whatever pressure TCU felt to win its Big 12 opener against the conference's worst team would have been amplified every minute of the second half that Kansas hung around and ate up the clock. Weis seemed more interested in showing off Crist's arm strength in a gun-slinging second-half comeback. He just forgot that he doesn't have Notre Dame talent at Kansas. His receivers are short with questionable hands, and his quarterback hasn't played since last October when he was benched. What Weis does have are running backs and a defense that could benefit from spending as much time on the sidelines as possible. Junior running back Taylor Cox gets ready to run through the line of defense during Saturday, Sept. 15 game at Memorial Stadium against Texas Christian University. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN COX IS CONSISTENT Junior college transfer Taylor Cox makes the jump to Big 12 and proves himself on and off the field FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com Kansas coach Charlie Weis was careful when he evaluated Cox. He made sure that even though he is transferring that Cox would still be able to carry over his skill sets to a new level. Junior running back Taylor Cox has made a difficult transition from junior college football to playing in the Big 12. But the experience is one he has enjoyed so far. "Tape doesn't lie, when you study tape, it doesn't lie," Weis said. "What a good player is supposed to do against players that aren't as good is dominate. All they can do is dominate, and that's what he did." After spending two years at the College of Siskiyou in Weed, Calif., approximately three and a half hours north of Sacramento, Cox committed to Kansas in January and was estatic for the new opportunity. Cox said that Weis flew out to visit him in Siskiyous before officially committing to Kansas. Like everyone else, he was no stranger to Weis and his accomplishments. He wanted to be familiar with his new coach before hitting the playing field as a member of the lavahawks. "I did some research on him and obviously he has tons of accolades," Cox said. "He's definitely a professional." Cox impressed his coaches since the beginning of fall camp. With junior running back James Sims absent for the first three games due to suspension, Cox took the opportunity to lift the running game and make it a highlight for the offense this season. "He has proved everyone on this team that he deserves to play," running backs coach Reggie Mitchell said. "He practices extremely hard. The thing that Taylor has done is that he's made the other guys more competitive. Every single snap he has, he goes full speed. That forces the other guys to go full speed if they want to be able to compete with him for playing time." Even though Cox can only show spectators what he is capable of on the field, he has shown to his teammates that he never stops showing up to work and is always on the go. His coaches and teammates defined him as a hard worker on, as well as off the field. His teammates like his attitude outside of the gridiron. He has proved to others that he is always willing to learn and wants to get as much as he can from his coaches. I went out, practiced, worked hard and went full speed every play, then I wouldn't have any problem adjusting." "I've always felt confident in my abilities," Cox said. "I just felt like if As the No. 2 running back in the first three games for Kansas this season, Cox has had no problem being consistent. He rushed for 247 yards "Hes always in the film room, always asking questions and wanting to get better on and off the field," sophomore running back Tony Pierson said. Cox said that Roche preached consistency to his players at Siskiyou. He shattered the school record at Siskiyou with 362 yards in one game. He also set the career record with 2,744 yards and 31 touchdowns. While playing football as a kid, Cox idolized former Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis. He also watched Ryan Williams during his time at Virginia Tech before being drafted by the Arizona Cardinals. Before coming to Kansas, Cox was playing football in the Mid-Empire conference, where talented players tried their best to shine and grab the attention of a Division I coach. Cox knew his hard work would pay off and he credits his coach at Siskiyou, Charlie Roche. and a pair of touchdowns off 42 carries so far this year. He earned a 5.9 yard per carry average and wants to keep contributing to help Kansas. Even as a collegiate running back, he doesn't stop idolizing players. Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is currently his favorite player in the NFL and sees a lot of similarities between Lynch and himself. "He runs really tough," Cox said. "He's going to fight for every yard and he's going to make you tackle him. I try to mimic my game after that and run hard and make the defense tackle me" Cox is enjoying his time in Kansas while playing under Weis as his head coach and has learned a lot from him. Cox said he could not have asked for a better head coach to make the transition from the junior college level. "The thing I like most about him is that he is a straight shooter," Cox said. "He is going to tell you straight where you stand, good or bad, which in football that's what you need to know. I just admire that about him and he has definitely helped me become a better player thus far." — Edited by Ryan McCarthy VOLLEYBALL Jayhawks outlast Bluejays in five-set thriller 5 CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree leaps into a spike shot while two Creighton players attempt to block Wednesday evening. The Jayhawks defeated Creighton 3-2. Creighton outblocked Kansas 20-10, but middle blocker Caroline Jarmock and outside hitter Catherine Carmichael teamed for a block late in the fifth set, giving Kansas an 11-9 lead and letting the Bluejays know the Jayhawks refused to lose on their home court. The Kansas volleyball team led Creighton 2-0 when the Bluejays stormed back to take the third and fourth sets — and all the momentum. It seemed that for the second straight match, Kansas would blow an early lead and keep coach Ray Bechard stuck at 949 career victories. The Jayhawks would have none of that. GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com "I think the whole energy changed," Jarmoc said. "The celebration after the kill or a point won for Kansas, it was just a lot more energy, and communication was up during rallies." Spurred by Jarmoc and Carmichael's block, Kansas won the fifth and final set 15-13, raising its record to 12-2 and giving Becard his 950th career victory. "That's part of who they are," Bechard said. "We spent some time working on it in practice, but it's tough to simulate that in practice when you've got somebody like Megan Bober over there trying to pull that out in a match." In the first set, the Jayhawks twice fought off set point and won the extended set 27-25. Kansas kept Creighton at arm's length during the second set and won 25-21. They had fought off 23 ties and 13 lead changes to put them on the brink of sweeping Creighton. and had a lot of good players". Beard said "To beat a really good team in a situation like that is the most important thing." But Creighton never trailed in the third set, and the score was tied only twice, as Creighton won the set 25-21. The Bluejays' set, Megan Boger, frequently hit the ball over the net on Creighton's second hit, instead of setting it to a hitter for a third hit. Bechard said the Jayhawks expected that ploy, but that it was still tough to defend. "I've been coaching a long time It would have been the Jayhawk's most impressive sweep of the year so far because the Bluejays entered the match with a 10-1 record, and their only loss was to Kansas State. Creighton outhit and outblocked Kansas in the match, but the Jayhawks outdug the Bluejays, and junior setter Erin McNorton set a career high with 67 assists, helping to offset Creighton's dominance at the net. The fourth set was more of the same. Creighton's lead stretched to eight points during the set, and the jayhawks never mounted a rally, falling 25-19. 5 "I was proud of Erin, the decisions she made late," Beckard said. "Because when it gets pressure, sometimes you make the simple or cautious move, and she took some risks and got the ball to some hitters in good situations." The Jayhawks begin Big 12 play this Saturday at 6 p.m. in Lubbock, Texas, against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Jarmoc said the Jayhawks are motivated after finishing last season 3-13 in conference play and their team motto for conference play is "Dream Crush." "We're just going to be going into Texas raging pretty much," jarmoc said. "That's how it's going to go."

A long night of dancing in Lawrence can help you get your groove back. TONIC BOUNSTE Mass St. VIKKAS SHANKER/KANS Tonic Lounge is only one of the many places to go dancing in Lawrence. Derryberry's other dance venue recommendations include The Hawk and Abe and Jakes. I'm a pretty good dancer. I'm not planning on taking part in Dancing with the Stars or anything anytime soon. Honestly, by any standards from professionals, I shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a dance floor, but I sure have fun, and the people I dance with have fun, too. No offense to the bump-and-grinders of the world, but I'd much rather flail around laughing than awkwardly getting in sync with a partner to an electronic remix of an already-electronic song. One of the key things for dancing is finding the right music, and whether you're into the grinding or grinning, Lawrence has plenty of dance floors. This Saturday is The Crumpletones Fall Dance Party on the top of The Oread hotel, 1200 Oread Ave. The terrace on the ninth floor of the hotel offers a tremendous view of the Lawrence skyline, and based on weather reports, it's supposed to be a sunny day leading to a cooler night, so all the heat you build up dancing will keep you just warm enough. The '60s music and psychedelic melodies of the Crumpletons is sure to be a good time. The local Lawrence band has been playing in the area for years and covers everything from Motown classics to the Beatles and Rolling Stones. It only costs $5 to join in the fun, doors open at 8 p.m., and it's all ages. If the cool, open air isn't for you, on Saturday the Jazzhaus, 926 Massachusetts St., is featuring the Majestics Rhythm Revue, led by Jazzhaus owner Rick McNeely on the saxophone. Since forming more than 14 years ago, the six piece band has offered a wide variety of sounds from blues and jazz to rock and funk, all worthy of busting a move on the dance floor. I've seen these guys and gals a few times, and not only do they put on a great show, but they love what they do and are happy to share a beer with you anytime. Although the Jazzhaus is for those 21 and older, the venue puts you right in the middle of the action and is always a good time. MRR jumps on stage at 10 p.m., but other bands will be playing before-hand so stop by anytime after 7 p.m. The entrance fee for the night is $5. Now, I do understand the appeal of the bumping and grinding club music, so if you're looking to get up close and personal on the dance floor, Lawrence does have options. There are the usual hot spots for such action including Tonic, 728 Massachusetts St., and The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., or for those younger crowds who feel like dancing. Abe and Jakes, 8 East 6th St. Whether you take the risk this weekend or any other, I really do suggest getting a feel for the local music scene, because there is a wide variety of talent strewn about Lawrence. So grab those dancing shoes, dress your best and put your feet to the test. Remember, confidence is key because without it, you're just another wallflower hiding from the spotlight.

The Huskies gave up 486 rushing yards to Army last weekend.

The Jayhawks defeated Creighton 3-2. of that. Creighton outblocked Kansas 20-10, but middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc and outside hitter Catherine Carmichael teamed for a block late in the fifth set, giving Kansas an 11-9 lead and letting the Bluejays know the Jayhaws refused to lose on their home court. "I think the whole energy changed," Jarmoc said. "The celebration after the kill or a point won for Kansas, it was just a lot more energy, and communication was up during rallies." *S spurred by Jarmoc and Carmichael's block, Kansas won the fifth and final set 15-13, raising its record to 12-2 and giving Bechard his 950th career victory. "That's part of who they are?" Bechard said. "We spent some time working on it in practice, but it's tough to simulate that in practice when you've got somebody like Megan Bober over there trying to pull that off in a match." But Creighton never trailed in the third set, and the score was tied only twice, as Creighton won the set 25-21. The Bluejays' setter, Megan Bober, frequently hit the ball over the net on Creighton's second hit, instead of setting it to a hitter for a third hit. Bechard said the Jayhawks expected that ploy, but that it was still tough to defend. "I've been coaching a long time most impressive sweep of the year so far because the Bluejays entered the match with a 10-1 record, and their only loss was to Kansas State. The Jayhawks begin Big 12 play this Saturday at 6 p.m. in Lubbock, Texas, against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Jarmoc said the Jayhawks are motivated after finishing last season 3-13 in conference play and their team motto for conference play is "Dream Crush." 5 "We're just going to be going into Texas raging pretty much," Jarmoc said. "That's how it's going to go." I was proud of him the occasions she made late, Béard said.

After a long car ride, his two dogs needed to use the restroom. "I honestly wanted to cry," Ackerson said. "Pretty much everything I had ever worked for or bought on my own, other than my furniture, was gone." As Ackerson, a Wichita junior, made his way into his backyard Sept. 3 on the 1800 block of Illinois Street, he felt sick to his stomach. The storm door had been kicked open and he stared into his now empty living room. The victim of a burglary, he called the Lawrence Police Department and learned he was the victim of a crime on the rise in Lawrence. According to Kansas Incident Based Reporting Statistic numbers by LPD from the beginning of the year through June 30, 2012, LPD has responded to 331 incidences involving a burglar. Burglaries are up 33 percent when compared to the 248 burglaries for the first-half of the year in 2011. Sgt. Trent McKinley, an LPD spokesman, said they began noticing the increase in March and began to see patterns after investigating. Specifically, most of the increased burglaries in Lawrence have been aggravated, meaning someone is in the home or structure at the time the offense is committed. McKinley said from March 17 to Aug. 27 there were approximately 83 aggravated residential burglaries reported in Lawrence. Force to gain entry was reported in six of the cases. "I honestly wanted to cry. Pretty much everything I had ever worked for or bought on my own, other than my furniture, was gone." ACKERSON Burglary victim "In the vast majority of those cases the doors were left unlocked," McKinley said. "After entering through an open or unlocked garage, front or side door, the burglar(s) would quickly grab purses or other valuable items and get out." McKinley said the LPD has arrested eight people alleged to be involved in the burglary string. The most recent arrest was 18-year-old Cody Barnes, who was charged last week for his alleged involvement in four July burglaries. But despite several arrests, the burglaries continue to happen and the pattern originally associated with it has changed. "In late August, the vast majority were doors and windows that were left unlocked," McKinley said. "But we are seeing more of a change with forced entries, and we don't know what to make of that yet. On Sept. 17, two forced entry burglaries were reported. The first happened about 3:30 a.m. on the 1700 block of Ohio Street. McKinley said a neighbor called police after hearing glass breaking. The second burglary happened about 6:30 a.m. in a student house on the 1000 block of Tennessee Street. A resident heard someone breaking glass on the door and called police. In both cases, the suspects fled before police arrived. Police have responded to several cases involving students, who McKinley said may be easier victims because they often rent houses and are accustomed to noise in the middle of the night. "We had one case in particular where someone heard noise and assumed it was their roommate after a night of drinking," McKinley said. "It's important students realize that if you hear something, don't just assume. Get up and check it out." If you do find or hear someone breaking in, McKinley said the best thing to do, aside from calling police, is to follow your natural reaction. "Most of these people have not been confrontational," McKinley said, referring to the potential burglars. "Do what feels right. It may be to hide until they leave, to confront them or to call police as they are in your house."

TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN Disaster victims receive assistance RACHEL SALYER rsalver@kansan.com Aaron Heintzelman returned from dinner Wednesday night to find fire trucks surrounding his apartment building and water flooding the street. Heintzelman, a junior from Leavenworth, lived on the second floor of Berkeley Flats apartment complex which caught fire around 10:15 p.m. last Wednesday night. When he approached the burning structure that night, Heintzelman said he hoped it was not his apartment. "With my string of luck, it would be my apartment," he said Wednesday night. The apartment above his caught fire "due to improper discardment of smoking material" according to a Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical press release. The fire at the 1123 Indiana St. complex caused a total of $400,000 in damage to 12 apartments and displaced 14 residents. Jane Blotcher, executive director of the American Red Cross of Douglas County, said she was at the scene Wednesday night. Blotcher said that victims of disasters are usually in shock and hysterical, but the students she met with that night were just the opposite. "Despite their loss, everyone was upbeat, filled with gratitude and friendly," she said. Blotcher said Friday the Red Cross had met with 13 of the 14 students displaced by the fire. The organization provided emergency money for clothes and food. She said the Red Cross has had a seven-year partnership with the University's Office of Student Affairs to help provide students with assistance not normally covered by the Red Cross. She said the Office of Student Affairs could replace damaged textbooks, laptops and other school-related necessities. Joanna Antonik, a sophomore from Chicago, lives in an apartment next to the damaged building. She said she heard about the fire from friends and saw pictures of it on Facebook while she was at the library. She said a bombardment of texts and calls asking if she was OK made her panic. "What if it was my apartment?" she said. "What if I'd accidentally left my straighter on or something stupid like that and it was my fault?" Heintzelman, Antonik and every resident at Berkeley Flats are required by their lease agreements to have renter's insurance. Antonik said she pays $12 a month for $5,000 worth of coverage. Blotcher said she's seen students without renter's insurance drop out of school because the financial burden was too much. She said all student renters should consider insurance because it's affordable, with a generous plan costing between $15 to $17 dollars a month. She felt the insurance plans allowed the students affected by the fire to be optimistic.

Mitt Romney, right, campaign in swing states. Obama in Leesburg, Va., and Romney in Waukesha, Wis. The challenge for Obama and Romney is how to lay claim to the small but mightily important swath of the electorate, the undecided likely voter. ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Loretta Mitchell is 100 percent sure she's going to vote in the presidential race come November. She doesn't have a clue who'll get that vote. That makes her a rare and highly sought after commodity: an undecided likely voter. The challenge for President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney is how to lay claim to this small but mightly important swath of the electorate. These people are truly up for grabs, claim they're intent on voting and yet aren't paying that much attention. With six hard-fought weeks left in the campaign, just 7 percent of likely voters have yet to pick a candidate, according to an Associated Press-GFK poll. When combined with those who are leaning toward one candidate or the other but far from firm in their choice, about 17 percent of likely voters are what pollsters consider "persuadable." That includes 6 percent who give soft support to Obama and 4 percent for Romney. Mitchell, a 68-year-old independent from the small town of Lebanon, Ind., voted for Obama in 2008 but says both candidates this year strike her as "true politicians, and I'm just really down with Washington and politicians." So the campaigns have to hope to pick them off as they pursue swing groups in the most competitive states — segments of voters such as independents, seniors and white working-class voters. Like a lot of undecided, she isn't sure what's going to determine her ballot, and she's in no rush to decide. Olson expects to wait until November to make up her mind, just as she did four years ago, when her vote ultimately went to Republican John McCain. People such as Donna Olson, a 66-year old semi-retired truck driver from Oksalaosa, Iowa, who calls herself a former Democrat. The triggers for how and when the undecideds will make up their minds are intensely personal. "I don't like either one of them," Olson says of Obama and Romney. She specifically mentions Obama's support for gay marriage and Romney's proposed tax breaks for wealthy Americans. "I'm just trying to watch a little bit of everything," says Olson. "It probably will come down to November, but I'm open to see what happens between now and then." So how will she make up her mind? While 69 percent of likely voters report they're paying a great deal of attention to the race, the figure drops to 59 percent for persuadable likely voters. Among the larger group of all registered voters, just 31 percent of persuadables show much interest in the campaign. At least Olson's tuned in to the race. One huge hurdle for both sides in the next six weeks will be getting the attention of the undecideds. YOU. CAN! KU Recycling works for you!

MP NEWS OF THE WORLD Associated Press AFRICA Radical sect bombs church ASSOCIATED PRESS BAUCHI, Nigeria — A suicide car bomber attacked a Catholic church conducting Mass in northern Nigeria on Sunday, killing two people and wounding another 45 in a region under assault by a radical Islamist sect, officials said. An Associated Press journalist heard the explosion after 9 a.m. Sunday in the city of Bauchi, which has seen a number of bombings and shootings blamed on the sect known as Boko Haram. The blast appeared to hit a parking lot alongside the St. John's Catholic Church in the city. Police and military surrounded the church and did not allow journalists inside the cordon. Later, at a nearby hospital, Bauchi deputy police commissioner T. Stevens told journalists that the bomber had been stopped at the church's gate, where he detonated the explosives packed inside his car. Doctors cautioned that more could die from their injuries. "The situation has been brought under control," Stevens said. "We have our men minding all areas." Stevens said no group or individual had claimed responsibility for the attack, though suspicion immediately fell on Boko Haram. The sect, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the Hausa language of Nigeria's north, has been waging an increasingly bloody fight against nation's weak central government. More than 680 people have died in drive-by killings and bombings blamed on Boko Haram this year alone, according to an AP count. The sect has demanded the release of all its captive members and has called for strict Shariah law to be implemented across the entire country. The sect has used suicide car bombs against churches in the past, most noticeably a 2011 Christmas Day attack on a Catholic church in Madalla near Nigeria's capital. That attack and assaults elsewhere in the country killed at least 44 people. An unclaimed car bombing on Easter in Kaduna killed at least 38 people on a busy roadway after witnesses say it was turned away from a church. The remains of a car used in a suicide bombing outside a church in Bauchi, Nigeria on Sunday. A suicide car bomber attacked a Catholic church in northern Nigeria, killing two people and wounding another 45, officials said. ASSOCIATED PRESS POLITICS ASSOCIATED PRESS The electoral commission staff count ballot papers after voting closed at a polling station in Minsk, Belarus on Sunday. Rivals reject election EUROPE ASSOCIATED PRESS MINSK, Belarus — Belarus held parliamentary elections Sunday without the main opposition parties, which boycotted the vote to protest the detention of political prisoners and opportunities for election fraud. The election will fill 110 seats in parliament, which long has been reduced to a rubber stamp by authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko. He has ruled the former Soviet nation since 1994. Western observers have criticized all recent elections in Belarus as undemocratic. Preliminary results in the parliamentary vote were expected Mondav. Lukashenko's landslide win in a 2010 presidential election triggered a mass street protest that was brutally suppressed, and any rallies after the parliamentary vote would be certain to draw a similar harsh response. "Elections in those states where they are boring and peaceful are a good thing for the people, not to mention for the government," Lukashenko said after casting his ballot, his 7-year-old son by his side. But he warned that the calm would not last if the opposition mounted a protest. "The main show here, as you understand, always begins after the elections, therefore anything can happen, although of course, God forbid that it does," he said. "All sorts of political nonsense always occurs here after the results are announced." The opposition had hoped to use this election to build support, but 33 out of 35 candidates from the United Civil Party were barred from television, while the state-owned press refused to publish their election programs. "We are calling on voters to ... ignore and boycott this electoral farce," said party leader Anatoly Lebedko. The other party that boycotted the vote was the Belarusian Popular Front. EUROPE Fans at MTV concert cause riot MADRID — Fans roited outside a free concert hosted by MTV at a Madrid theater early Saturday after they were denied entry because the venue was full to capacity, officials said. About 60 people sustained minor injuries and 11 others were arrested. Thousands of people had turned up at the venue late Friday for the lineup of Spanish Indie music acts, police said. Once the theater was full, scuffles broke out in the streets outside and people began throwing bottles. Riot police, some on horseback, were deployed to the area after garbage containers were set ablaze. Several parked cars were damaged in the unrest.

Michelle, Stephanie and DJ, Tia and Tamera. Will, Carlton and Geoffrey. Raven. Lizzie and Ren and Louis. If you can name the shows these characters came from, your childhood was awesome. During the 1990s and early 2000s, TV shows directed at kids offered productive role models and truly funny worlds to escape to. (Before I carry on, you should know the answers above: "Boy Meets World," "Full House," "Sister Sister," "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "That's So Raven," "Lizzie McGuire" and "Even Stevens.") Each of the aforementioned shows features characters that are relatable. They have flaws. No one can argue that they don't make mistakes or that they always fit in. They constantly battled the same things we faced. Even Raven, whose superpower set her apart, fought the urge to lie and even wrestled with her personal image. I can personally remember seeing Stephen Tanner of "Full House" as she fought society's image of beauty and decided that glasses could be beautiful too. Many of these shows taught viewers lessons as simple as accepting yourself on a regular basis. What would the shows have been like if Raven of "That's So Raven" didn't fight the school uniforms or if Will of "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" gave up his individual every time Uncle Phil suggested he do so? Back in the day, shows tackled big picture questions. Eric Matthews in "Boy Meets World" could hardly face his future after high school. How many American teenagers have stood there at some point? "That's So Raven" went so far as to look at the obesity epidemic while it was still a small problem on the public agenda. By Angela Hawkins ahawkins@kansan.com Lizzie McGuire even helped her best friend Miranda through a bout with anorexia. Recently, I turned on Disney Channel. It felt like a force of habit. I was surprised to find that instead of the strong characters with identifiable problems, today's shows don't offer as good of role models. Let's look at "Wizards of Waverly Place" for example. In Selena Gomez's break-out role, she plays a popular character that doesn't have an issue with her self-esteem. She has no problem lying to authority figures and using her magic to do cruel things. She's never punished for such actions. Can you imagine what would happen if that character would have lived in a '90s show? Danny Tanner of "Full House" wouldn't have it and Joey would say to "cut it out." The Matthews would never have let that kind of behavior stand. Accountability is part of learning a lesson. When I turned off the Disney Channel, which I did after one unfulfilling show, I asked myself what I remember most about the shows I watched as a kid. I came to this conclusion: I am that quirky character. I asked myself what I love was when Cory and Topanga of "Boy Meets World" went on their first date. I ached to be popular like every other junior high girl and Lizzie McGuire. most cases, exists outside of television scripts. Each character had a friend that they could count on no matter what. These shows taught viewers about the importance of our relationships and how to maintain them. But what slipped my mind is the perfection of their lives that, in It's been 20 years since the early 1990s. Soon the sparse reruns of these shows will disappear for good. Like our parents, we'll probably end up talking about that one show that sticks out far past all of the rest. Also like our parents, it will be left to us to instill within our kids those lessons we learned from our favorite characters. Whatever you do, don't forget. Don't forget growing up alongside characters that really were like you. TECHNOLOGY Hawkins is a junior majoring in journalism from Scranton. Apple's actions show hypocrisy By Andrew Simpson andrewson@kanan.com Apple's new iPhone 5 is gorgeous. A matte-finished backside compliments the sheen of the newer, larger front screen. The edges are cut to a finish with diamond blades. The glass camera lens was replaced with pure sapphire. And well, it weighs a little bit less. And that's about it. Bluntly, its technology is only marginally better than the 4S. And to boot, thousands of customers began complaining about the terrible Apple Maps in iOS 6 only hours after its launch. Did any of this stop Apple lovers from emptying shelves last Friday? Absolutely not. Apple claims that over 2 million people pre-ordered the new phone on the first day alone, more than any product under Steve Jobs' direction. With numbers like these, Apple proves that it is still one of the most popular and successful companies in the world. Despite their success, and the fact I own an iPhone 4, I still have a bone to pick with this technology giant because I hate their cutthroat business ethics. Since the mid-2000s, Apple has had a lawsuit addiction, attacking even the slightest hint of copyright or patent infringement, an action Google calls "bullying tactics." Apple just won a $1 billion lawsuit against Samsung in the U.S., they lost the same case in both Germany and South Korea, as courts couldn't find any validity to the case. The fact that Apple even sued Samsung was confusing, because Apple buys about half of the parts in an iPhone from Samsung. Apple's legal team is so adamant about stomping out competition. Apple is currently suing a Polish grocery store chain named "A.pl." Speaking of hypocrisy, I (as a person who owns an iPhone) absolutely hate Apple fan-boys. Besides the fact they support Apple's lawsuit crusade, they actually believe that Apple sells top-of-the-line technology, which is subject to opinion, and spend an incredible amount on Apple products. For most companies, I understand, it's business. But when Apple, which put together the first Mac from a computer taken from another California company and software taken from Microsoft, develops products that look eerily similar to tech products by Braun from the 1950s and 60s, and then sues anyone who produces products similar to Apple products, it simply blows my mind how hypocritical it is. Yeah, my iPhone feels great, but the resolution, speed, and camera are comparable to a last generation Android. Any time Apple can convince customers to buy a worse product for more money and be incredibly successful with this business model, it's bad for all consumers. Oh, and remember that whole thing about the suicides at the iPhone factory in China? As my final attack on Apple, I would like to point out Apple still hires that factory to make phones. I would be going way too far to say that your money contributes directly to suicide. At least, your money goes to a company that responds to worker suicides by putting nets to catch people jumping off buildings, and not actually improving working conditions. So, go buy your new iPhone, because honestly, it's still a pretty sweet phone and it's fun to use. Just think about what your money contributes to for a little bit. No company is perfect, but you could do a lot better than Apple. Simpson is a freshman majoring in chemical engineering from Fairway. CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK How do you feel about Dayne Crist? Follow us on Twitter @UOK. Opinion. Tweet us your opinions, and we just might publish them. ELECTION Romney needs clear message What will hurt Romney the most isn't that he pointed out that he's most concerned with the eight to 10 percent of undecided voters — this election has been so polarizing that it's painfully clear the lines between staunch liberals and conservatives have already been drawn — it's that he dismissed them for not paying taxes and said he didn't care about them. The campaign process is a prolonged interview process; one of the biggest tasks for the job Romney is interviewing for is to care about all Americans. US But he's not incorrect. The leaked video (that everyone has heard about by now) that showed Romney at an event in May telling the crowd that 47 percent of the voting population would automatically vote for President Obama because they were beholden to the government could very well have kept President Obama in the White House for four more years. In the video, Ronney said, "There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing, to you-name-it... It is true that according to the Tax Policy Center, in 2011, 46.4 percent of American households paid no federal income taxes. Does that mean that those people don't pay taxes at all and are total freeloaders? No. They still pay payroll taxes, state and local taxes and one can get away from paying sales taxes. One of the many presidential qualities that a prospective candidate must have is the ability to convey his or her message in a clear and concise manner. Unfortunately for Mitt Romney supporters, the Republican presidential nominee has proven to be as eloquent as President Obama. He's shown the lack of clear speech throughout this campaign and it could very well be his downfall. By Billy McCroy hmccroy@kansan.com McCroy is a senior majoring in economics from Des Moines, Iowa. You can follow him on Twitter @Billy McCrow. And now you know what the future holds if we elect President Obama for four more years. A President shouldn't be rewarded for how many more people rely on the government, they should be judged on the fact that fewer people need assistance from the government because they can provide for themselves and live within their means. It seems unfair that Republicans have not had an eloquent speaker in this position since Ronald Reagan; perhaps Bob Dole, but he was never going to beat the slick saxophonist. What Romney was getting at is a very important message and one that Americans should heed as they prepare to vote on Nov. 6. There is a vast portion of the populace that believes the government exists to provide for them. The conservative message is one that champions personal responsibility; giving someone the opportunity to provide for themselves and allowing them to feel the natural lift that one gets after accomplishing something paramount to their lives and the lives of their loved ones. It is quite clear that President Obama wants more people to become beholden to the government. According to easily accessible government figures, there are now 46 million Americans on food stamps. LETTER TO THE EDITOR That's compared to 30 million in 2008. There were 10.6 million Americans on social security disability in 2011 compared to 9.3 million three years ago. The smallest share of the U.S. population is looking for work than at any time since 1981 and 40 percent of the current unemployed have been out of work for six months or more. That is prolonged, sustained unemployment As for the population that is employed, we have a historical healthcare tax that has just been passed under the guise of our greatest political achievement. Here is a small exercise for you to think about while you're reading this: what happens when an employer has higher costs of business because he or she has to pay a tax for healthcare per employee? If your first thought is that they find ways to cut those costs, you're correct. And how would an employer cut costs that occur per employee? If you've come to the realization that they would hire fewer employees - if not 'et go of existing employees - then you've reached the end of this exercise. The most recent article by Katherine Gwynn on the abortion debate struck me. The writer quotes her niece as saying "I decide my own life" and from that she is emotionally moved to feel that all women should have the right to choose whatever routes their lives will go. Granted, most people would hold that as a holy ideal, that we as individuals are imbued with such an inherent right to own our destinies. Gwynn hears her niece's words and reassures her that this is true, that she, as a five-year-old girl, has that right to own her life; but in using that premise in support of a pro-choice agenda she unknowingly supports a statement which looks more like this: that her niece has absolutely no right to own her life, but that instead her mother owns that right over her. The question is, if all this is true, who has any right to own their own lives? If a human does not even have the right to decide if it will exist or not, who then can truly say they have a natural ownership of their own body? that's not because I don't see that there are terrible struggles and horrific sufferings that women undergo as a result of an unplanned pregnancy. All that I am saying is that the fate of those circumstances gives no right to a woman to kill a baby, no matter how young. We value our right to determine our destinies so dearly, and those humans yet-to-be deserve to be given the same right to decide their own lives. Now don't get me wrong. I may not be pro-choice,but Ben King is a junior from Ness City PARKS @King_Cole_316 @UDK_Opinion no comment. Nuff said.

MOVIES WEINSTEIN COMPANY PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL AIRBORNE The Master, starring Joaquín Phonexe and Philip Seymour Hoffman, tells about the start of a new religion, which resembles scientiology. The movie was released in the middle of September, and is now playing in select theaters. The Master' latest in long line of films exploring the power of cults LANDON MCDONALD imcdonald@kansan.com "We don't commit murder up here," says Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee) in "The Wicker Man," shortly before setting fire to a giant wooden effigy containing a still-strugging human sacrifice. "We're a deeply religious people." What is it about a cult that fuels the darker engines of our imagination? From Jonestown to the Manson Family, the public has to regard the subject with a morbid blend of fascination and fear, an emotional divergence most conveniently filtered through our fiction. Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master," starring Philip Seymour Hoffman as the enigmatic leader of a Scientology-esque movement and Joaquin Phoenix as his slavishly devoted acolyte, is the most recent film to ponder what singular force of will could command the unquestioning spiritual submission of its followers. The modern cult thriller began in 1968, when director Roman Polanski delivered "Rosemary's Baby" and changed the genre forever.

Stripped of its supernatural trappings, Polanski's movie becomes a hallucinogenic meditation on motherhood, sexual dysfunction and the stifling effects of urban isolation.

The great Christopher Lee, sporting Bob Dylan's hairdo and a yellow turtleneck, turns in an absolutely mesmeric, careerbest performance as Summerisle, the island's sinister pariarch. outright cultism. In 2011, audiences saw the arrival of "Higher Ground," actress-director Vera Farmiga deeply personal account of a woman's struggle to reconcile her beliefs with the doomsday preaching of her husband's New Testament compound. The last few years have seen an uptick in films exploring religious movements that flirt with Elizabeth Olsen earned raves for her performance as a psychologically scarred ex-believer in the well-acted but dramatically muzzled "Martha Marcy May Marlene," while last summer gave us the supremely unsettling "Sound of My Voice," the story of two journalists who infiltrate a basement cult run by a messianic woman (Brit Marling) who claims to be from the year 2054. So what's fueling cinema's renewed enthrallment with cults? Maybe it's the fervor of election season. Some of the conventioners in Tampa, Fla. and Charlotte, N.C., seemed ready to break out the matching robes and tinfoil. Or perhaps it's simply our natural tendency to seek higher meaning in the face of hard times.

Son of Bob Marley welcomes Lawrence NADIA IMAFIDON nimafidon@konson.com nimafidon@kansan.com With five Grammy awards to his name, Stephen Marley has certainly made his mark on the reggae world in a way his father, cultural icon Bob Marley, never did. Lucky for the local reggae community, Marley is making a stop in Lawrence today. Martin Maina, also known as DJ Stiga, will be DJing at the show. "Expect an energetic, mind blowing show," Maina said. "Stephen never shortchanges, and he's a people's entertainer." Maina thinks the reggae community in Lawrence and Kansas City is lively, which is why top artists continue to make appearances here. Maina works for Trigger Vibrations, a promotions company who contracts reggae artists and brings them to Lawrence. Maina has also played shows for other Marleys, Damian and Julian. "The artists love the energy, and so we want to make this a must stop town for international recording reggae artists", Maina said. Lawrence is not generally thought of as a town rich in reggae roots, but the presence is undeniable among many University students. Rachel Menager, senior from Port au Prince, Haiti, thinks there is a large fan base for reggae music in Lawrence. She plans to attend the Stephen Marley concert because of her love for all of the Marleys' music. There is no denying that the legendary Bob Marley will have an influence on attendees of the concert. Adut Anel, a sophomore from Awei, Sudan, grew up listening to him, inspiring her lifelong love for reggae. "I think it's pretty cool that a lot of people in their family are musically inclined." Ménager said. "I feel like their music almost always has a peaceful message." Anei finds that reggae appeals to many students in one form or another, whether it's the original work with Rastafarian messages or dancehall, the hip-hop of reggae. "It's just the kind of music you can put on and it will totally change your mood." Anei said. "For me it's tranquilizing." Marley will perform today, at 8 p.m. at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. Tickets are $21 in advance. — Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk Low numbers slow studios I ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Hollywood is in photo-finish mode with three new movies bunched up tightly for the No. 1 spot during a sleepy weekend at the box office. Studio estimates Sunday put two movies in a tie for first-place with $13 million each; Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena's police story "End of Watch" and Jennifer Lawrence's horror flick "House at the End of the Street." And right in the same ballpark was Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams' baseball tale "Trouble with the Curve," which opened with $12.7 million. Actual rankings will be determined Monday as studios release final numbers for the weekend. No matter which movie comes out on top, it was another slow weekend for Hollywood, whose business has been sluggish throughout late summer. Revenues were down for the fourth-straight weekend, with all three of the top new movies opening to modest crowds. "This was a clash of the nontitans," said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. "When three films are duking it out for the top spot with only around $13 million, that doesn't represent a very strong period at the box office." Open Road Films' "End of Watch" stars Gyllenhaal and Pena as partners patrolling the mean streets of LA. Relativity Media's "House at the End of the Street" casts "The Hunger Games" star Lawrence as a youth who moves with her mom next door to a house where bloody misdeeds took place years earlier. "Trouble with the Curve," released by Warner Bros. stars Eastwood as an aging baseball scout whose daughter (Adams) accompanies him on his latest road trip. cent from the same weekend last year, when a 3-D re-release of "The Lion King" led with $21.9 million, according to Hollywood.com. Studios determine weekend estimates by counting Friday and Saturday ticket sales then projecting Sunday revenues based on how similar movies have played out in the past. On rare occasions when the top movies are this close, the rankings sometimes change when Monday's final numbers are released. The weekend's other new wide release, Lionsgate's sci-fi action tale "Dredd," opened well down in the rankings at No. 6 with $6.3 million. The movie features "Star Trek" co-star Karl Urban as a law enforcer and executioner in a crime-laden city of the future. That has led to grousing among competitors that some studios might be inflating their Sunday estimates to gain No.1 bragging "I took the high road myself and put down the $12.7 million we reported," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros., where Eastwood has been based for decades. "I've got a major actor with a solid group of people in this movie, and I don't want to eat crow on Monday." While audiences were not too excited about the new wide releases, Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment banner had big crowds in limited release for its teen drama "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." "I're unbelievably close. I honestly don't remember ever seeing it this close, but we're happy that we're in the race," said Kyle Davies, head of distribution for Relativity. "We think our estimate is on target." Other studios were tracking "End of Watch" and "House at the End of the Street" at a bit less than $13 million for the weekend, and some had "Trouble with the Curve" at No. 1 by a fraction. rights, even if only for a day. "We'll see tomorrow. I think today everybody projected honorably and honestly," said Tom Ortenberg, chief executive officer for Open Road Films. "I think it's fair to say that nobody's sure who's going to be No. 1." The film took in $244,000 in four locations for a strong average of $61,000 a theater.

Fraternity celebrates centennial DANE VEDDER dvedder@kansan.com Generations of Kappa Sigmas returned to Lawrence this past weekend to celebrate the fraternity's 100th year at the University. Several events were organized for Friday through Sunday, beginning at the chapter house at 1045 Emery Road. Nick Lombardi, the early 2000's chapter representative, said the centennial celebration aims to better the chapter by encouraging alumni donations and rush recommendations. Donations will contribute to a $1 million endowment that will provide scholarships to qualifying undergraduate brothers. "This celebration is a time to reflect on the past 100 years, and put a mark of diligence and commitment to the next 100 years for the Kappa Sigmas at KU," Lombardi wrote in an email. "We will showcase the history of the chapter, notable brothers, memorabilia from the entire chapter's history and the evolution of the fraternity man over 100 years." Approximately 100 to 200 former and current members of the chapter congregated for the centennial celebration. According to the fraternity's website, a handful of alumni from each era met Friday to organize the weekend's events. Saturday's festivities began with a tour of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, named after former U.S. Senator and Kappa Sigma alumnus Bob Dole. A barbecue lunch was provided afterward at the chapter house while members watched the football game against Northern Illinois University. The event continued that evening with dinner at the Adams Alumni Center. The celebration ended Sunday morning with brunch at the Marriott Hotel in Overland Park. "We believe the future will always present an opportunity to prove our worth as a chapter, and that excellence is not merely attained, it is lived through application of Kappa Sigma values," Lombardi said. Edited by Christy Khamphilay The KU Kappa Sigma chapter once housed several other prominent alumni including Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford Motor Co. and Robert Eaton, former CEO of Chrysler LLC. Innovation creates gas boom OIL PITTSBURGH — It sounds like a free-market success story: a natural gas boom created by drilling company innovation, delivering a vast new source of cheap energy without the government subsidies that solar and wind power demand. "The free market has worked its magic," the Barnett Shale Energy Education Council, an industry group, claimed over the summer. The boom happened "away from the greedy grasp of Washington," the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank, wrote in an essay this year. ASSOCIATED PRESS If bureaucrats "had known this was going on," the essay went on, "surely Washington would have done something to slow it down, tax it more, or stop it altogether." But those who helped pioneer the technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, recall a different path. Over three decades, from the shale fields of Texas and Wyoming to the Marcellus in the Northeast, the federal government contributed more than $100 million in research to develop fracking, and billions more in tax breaks. Now, those industry pioneers say their own effort shows that the government should back research into future sources of energy — for decades, if need be — to promote breakthroughs. For all its success now, many people in the oil and gas industry itself once thought shale gas was a waste of time. "There's no point in mincing words. Some people thought it was stupid," said Dan Steward, a geologist who began working with the Texas natural gas firm Mitchell Energy in 1981. Steward estimated that in the early years, "probably 90 percent of the people" in the firm didn't believe shale gas would be profitable. "Did I know it was going to work? Hell no." Steward added. TELEVISION In 1975, the Department of Energy began funding research into fracting and horizontal drilling, where wells go down and then sideways for thousands of feet. But it took more than 20 years to perfect the process. 64th Emmy Awards recap The fracking pioneers point out that it's impossible to predict how and when research will pay off. "It wouldn't be research if you already knew that it was going to be effective," said Crawley.

'GAME CHANGE' FOR TOM HANKS "What do I do?" asks Hanks, who collected a trophy as one of the producers of "Game Change," honored as best miniseries or made-for-TV movie at Sunday's Emmys. Tom Hanks shakes his hands, perhaps to get a good grip, as he prepares to select his take-home Emmy from the backstage trophy table. "Now what?" he asks after signing for the trophy. He's directed to a bank of ready photographers. Claire Danes came up with the catchphrase of the night when she saluted her "Homeland" costar during her Emmy acceptance speech thusly: "Mandy Patinkin, holla." 'MANDY PATINKIN, HOLLA!' "Come on Rita, get in here!" A fellow "Game Change" producer shouts to Hanks' wife, Rita Wilson, as flashbulbs pop. Danes, taking the stage after winning best actress in a drama for the Showtime series, mentioned several names before matter-of-fact calling out Patinkin JULIANNE MOORE "Hurry up, hurry up! I need my Emmy." — Emmy winning "Game Change" actress Julianne Moore, waiting in line behind Emmy winning "Game Change" director Jay Roach backstage at the Emmy trophy table. But he borrowed a trophy so he could pose for a photo with his writing team. He promised to return it before leaving the theater. "Yeah, because I have two children with me," he added, noting the statuette's pointy wings. "Do they still ship these if you ask?" inquired the show's head honcho, Jon Stewart. It's Kodak Moment time backstage at the Emmys, with "The Daily Show" winners taking photos of each other holding their Emmys. AN EMMY KODAK MOMENT in the most unexpected way Twitter went nuts, with many people suggesting that this saying needs to become a meme, and soon. As the pop-culture site (at) Gawker put it: "Mandy Patinkin, holla' is the new Angelina Jolie's leg." From New York Magazine's (a) Vulturetite: "Mandy Patinkin, holla' is the best thank-you ever." And from NPR's (a)nprmonkeysee: "If the Internet doesn't remix 'Mandy Patinkin, holla' by to-morrow morning, it is a failure." Others suggested that Jewish delis begin baking Mandy Patinkin challah. Still others made references to Patinkin's Broadway bona fides with "Evita" jokes. If someone can figure out a way to incorporate Patinkin's famous line from "The Princess Bride" — "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die" — then the Internet might truly be worthwhile after all. 'HOMELAND' STAR JOKES ABOUT PLAYING HOUSE Married actor Damian Lewis joked to reporters that he might be doing some extra celebrating with "Homeland" co-star Claire Danes, who is also married and came to the Emmys with a baby bump. "We're going away to a romantic island together," the red-headed British actor joked. "When that baby is ginger you guys are going to have a field day." The comment may have gotten some members of the press too excited, one of whom asked Danes a few moments later how she viewed the win in light of giving birth. "Thank god I am not giving birth," said Danes, who's in an earlier stage of pregnancy. The pair reunited later in another backstage area, looking very platonic and like two friends enjoying each other's success. KIMMEL EVENS THE SCORE Don't ever cross Jimmy Kimmel. The Emmy host warmly introduced his parents, who were seated in the audience, and told viewers they had always been supportive of their son. "They always told me I could do anything I set my mind to," he said, "and this year I set my mind to winning the Emmy. "And guess what? I didn't," he went on. "You told me I could, and I didn't, and I'm devastated. You lied to me!" Egged on by Tracy Morgan, who was seated beside them and stated, "I don't trust them," Kimmel summoned security to remove Mom and Dad from the auditorium. "It's OK if you Taser them if you need to," he told the security men. DANES PROUD OF OBAMA BEING A EAN Claire Danes loves that President Barack Obama is a fan of her show "Homeland." "No pressure," the actress said backstage after her win for lead actress in a drama series at Sunday's Emmy Awards. "It's way cool that he is a fan. It speaks to the relevancy of the show and it's hugely validating. Obama has said the Showtime series about a Marine returning home after being held as a POW, and who is now suspected by a CIA agent as working for al Qaeda, is his favorite.

Commissioner Bud Selig, Source : mlb.com FACT FACT OF THE DAY The 1997 Marlins were the first team to win the World Series as a Wild Card. mlb.com --- Q. What MLB team is the only队 to win two World Series titles as a Wild Card? A. Miami Marlins TRIVIA OF THE DAY — mib.com --- THE MORNING BREW Preview of the American League Playoff Races Eight American League teams have a chance to make the playoffs entering Sunday. This E By Andrew Morris amorris@kansan.com is exactly what MLB wanted when it added an additional wild card team last November. THE AL EAST RACE: Every player on every team is competing for something in September, whether it be for a spot on next year's team or a chance to make the postseason schedule. Any single game could make the difference, and every pitch matters in the wild card race. This season, the American League may not be decided until the final game. The New York Yankees and the surprising Baltimore Orioles are both battling for the division title. Preceding Sunday, the Orioles had a two-game lead in the wild card race. The Tampa Bay Rays, third place in the east, entered Sunday just 3.5 games back from the Oakland Athletics, who currently hold the second wild card slot. The Yankees and Orioles won't meet again this season, but the Rays will go to Baltimore in the last series of the season in what could determine who will make it to the playoffs. Look for the Yankees to win the division and the Orioles to claim one of the wild cards. Tampa will just miss out after winning the division on the final day of the season last year. THE AL CENTRAL RACE: Once again the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox will most likely be battling for one spot in the playoffs with a slim chance for either team to win a wild card slot. The season series is over, so the teams will have to win every game if they don't want to fall in the standings. The Tigers have been the hotter team recently and their lineup is one of the best in baseball, making them very dangerous. Miguel Cabrera has a chance to win the first Triple Crown for batting since 1967. It's amazing to think how good this team could have been if they hadn't lost Victor Martinez to injury during spring training. The pitching staff is loaded with great arms like Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Rick Porcello who will propel this team to a division title. THE AL WEST RACE: The Texas Rangers, who had a four-game lead as of Sunday, will most likely win the West Division. They have been to the World Series the past two seasons, and, despite the recent absence of star fosh Hamilton, have held a comfortable lead all season. The race for the wild card proves the most interesting, with the Oakland Athletics and Anaheim Angels both vying for a spot in the one-game playoff. The Athletics, who currently hold the second wild card spot, were one of the hottest teams in baseball this season but it entered Sunday with a two-game losing streak. The Angels, who are 2.5 games behind the As, have the talent to be the best team in baseball and are a contender for one of the wild card spots. KU Oakland faces Texas seven more times this season, including the final series. This will ultimately help the Angels move ahead of the Athletics and into the final playoff spot. This is going to be a great finish to the season and could even be better than the end of last season, which resulted in the addition of the second wild card. The excitement surrounding this season proves this was the right move. Edited by Joanna Hlavacek This week in athletics Monday Men's Golf Mark Simpson Colorado Invitational All Day Erie, Colo.

Kansas State Senior quarterback Collin Klein completed only 13 passes for 149 yards. But it was the rushing game that fueled the Wildcats offense. Junior running back John Hubert had a season high of 24 carries for 135 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder has coached his team well and the Wildcats are poised for success this year in conference play. As for the Sooners, senior quarterback Landry Jones took a step back. The good news is Jones and his offense have a bye week coming up and can rebuild before visiting Texas Tech.

He picked up a fumble and ran 51 yards to the end zone. 17 TEXAS CHRISTIAN 27 - VIRGINIA 7 Junior quarterback Casey Pachall is the only player in the nation with a quarterback rating of over 200 and he showed why against Virginia this weekend.

Jayhawk soccer upsets Oklahoma State ANDREW MORRIS amorris@kansan.com Senior Sarah Robbins had one of the best games of her Jayhawk career in a 2-1 upset win over seventh ranked Oklahoma State on Friday. After getting the ball on the edge of the box, she made a move to get past the OSU defense before being fouled in the box for a penalty. Senior midfielder/forward Whitney Berry converted and the Whityahaws regained the lead just minutes after Oklahoma State equalized. A strong wind and the Oklahoma State defense made it difficult for Kansas to keep possession of the ball. Despite being outplayed for most of the first half, the Robbins Jayhawks took the lead just three minutes into the game. Freshman forward Courtney Dickerson was able to get to sophomore forward Haley Yearout's through ball before shooting past the oncoming goalie for a 1-0 Kansas lead. Oklahoma State, the reigning league champions and preseason favorites, controlled the first half despite falling behind. The Cowgirls had eight shots in the first half forcing Kansas sophomore goalkeeper Kaitlin Stroud into action three times. Oklahoma State also had two shots hit the post as Kansas held on for a halftime lead. "Oklahoma State is obviously a very good team," coach Mark Francis said. "I didn't think we played particularly great soccer today compared to what we are capable of, but I think a lot of that was down to them." Robbins, who came on as a first half substitute, controlled the game in midfield and helped Kansas gain the edge in the second half. The Javahaws outshot the Girls by live in the second half and ended the match with 18 shots. In the 69th minute the Cowgirls found the back of the net in similar fashion to Kansas' first half goal. Oklahoma State's leading goal scorer Megan Marcheano got onto a through ball and fired into the top of the goal. The Jayhawks answered just thirty seconds later when Robbins was fouled in the box and Berry scored the penalty kick. Kansas withstood a barrage of Oklahoma State corners in the final minutes to earn their first win over the Cowgirls since 2005. "I saw that space so figured just take it," Robbins said on drawing her penalty to give Kansas a chance to take the lead. "That last player, I thought I was about to lose it. I took one little touch and she clipped me." Stroud had an impressive game making five saves and controlling the box on set pieces. The defense continued its solid play against an Oklahoma State team averaging 2.5 goals per game. This season, the layhawks defense is allowing just a single goal per game. TENNIS "I thought I was about to lose it. I took one little touch and she clipped me." SARAH ROBBINS Midfielder "Our defense was solid," Stroud said. "That is probably the biggest improvement we've made this season." Next weekend the Jayhawks, with a record of 7-2-1, will travel to Texas for conference games against Baylor and TCU. Kansas is excited about the possibilities of this team and are focused on making a run for the programs first Big 12 league title since 2004.

TARA BRYANT/KANSAN Senior Victoria Khanevskaya returns the ball in her singles match against a UMKC opponent at the KU Invitational at the Jayhawk Tennis Center Saturday, Sep. 22. Khanevskaya defeated her opponent 6-2, 6-1. TYLER CONOVER tconover@kansan.com The tennis team performed well at the Kansas Invitational Tournament this weekend, competing in seven finals matches. The nine-team tournament concluded Sunday afternoon with singles play. There were eight total singles draws in the tournament; Kansas played in six draws and won five of them. The six players who advanced to the finals of their draws were juniors Claire Dreyer, Dylan Windom and Paulina Los. Senior Victoria Khanevskaya, sophomore Maria Belen Luduena and freshman Maria Jose Cardona also made finals in their brackets. Ludueña dropped the finals of Draw B to Karla Bonacic of Kansas State with scores of 6-1 and 6-0. Kansas head coach Amy Hall-Holt said the tournament was a good way to start the season. "Every day we came out and we saw a lot of good things throughout the whole tournament." Hall-Holt said. "Having six players in the finals of their bracket is pretty exciting." In doubles play, Kansas made the final round of Draw B an all Jayhawk affair as Cardona and Fournier played Dreyer and freshman Anastasia Trubica. Cardona and Fournier came away with the win. "You don't always want your teammates to be playing against each other, but for both of them to be in the finals is exciting." Hall-Holt said. The team of Windom and senior Monica Pezzetti is ranked 25th nationally, according to The Campbell/ITA Preseason Rankings. The duo won their first two matches in Draw A, but Pezzotti hurt her arm in the third match, forcing the pair to retire from the tournament. Hall-Holt said Pezzotti will be ready to compete at the All-America Championships that begin Oct. 1. This was the first time that Fournier, Trubica and Cardona have been able to compete for the Jayhawks. Fournier transferred from Texas Tech last season, but sat out because of NCAA transfer regulations. Trubica and Cardona are freshmen. Hall-Holt was pleased with how well the newcomers are making their transition to the team. "Doubles-wise they are picking up great and performing well." Hall-Holt said. "We are making progress and I am thrilled with their performance this weekend." The other eight teams that competed at the tournament this weekend were Kansas State, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Arkansas State, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, South Dakota, Abilene Christian University, University of Texas at Arlington and Wichita State University. - Edited by Nikki Wentling VANESSA DEMINGHAM TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN Junior Halev Fournier returns the ball in her match against KSU Saturday afternoon.

BASEBALL Indians defeat Royals, Odorizzi handed the loss in debut ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Carlos Santana hit two homers and drove in five runs as the Cleveland Indians routed Kansas City 15-4 Sunday in their highest-scoring game of the season. The loss officially eliminated the Royals from playoff contention and assured them of another losing record. Kansas City has not made the postseason since winning the 1985 World Series, the longest active playoff drought in the majors. Santana connected for a two-run shot in the sixth inning off Jake Odorizzi, who lost in his major league debut. Santana added his team-leading 18th homer, a three-run drive during a seven-run ninth. David Huff (2-0) held the Royals to one run on three hits over 5 2-3 Odorizzi limited Cleveland to a pair of singles by Shin-Soo Cho for the first five innings. After retiring Cho to lead off the sixth, Odorizzi allowed three runs on four consecutive hits. innings. Santana's first homer put the Indians ahead 3-1. Cleveland added five runs in the seventh and pulled away in the ninth. The Indians spoiled the day for Odorizzi (0-1), one of four players acquired in the 2010 trade for Zack Greinke. The Indians combined for four singles, three walks and two Kansas City errors in the seventh. The Royals used three relief pitchers with Vin Mazzaro retiring none of the four batters he faced. Jason Kipnis tripled and scored on Cabrera's single before Santana's homer. 2012 VOLLEYBALL KANSAS VS.

The junior gained 115 yards while scoring two touchdowns. Sims' speed and vision on his 26-yard touchdown run was a testament to the improvement that the Kansas coaches have been advertising. GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN Just when it looked like the Kansas backfield had finally come together, Taylor Cox suffered an injury early in the game. Sims, Tony Pierson and Christian Matthews were effective with the wild-cat, but it's hard to imagine the loss of Cox won't hurt the run game. GLASS HALF EMPTY STUPID No sugar-coating this one, Dayne Crist has looked worse and worse each game. Ten for 26 passing will rarely win any games. Verdict: Bad LOOKING AHEAD Kansas fans can say with absolute certainty that the Jayhawks will not lose next Saturday. Unfortunately, that's because it's a bye week. DELAY OF THE GAME Dayne Crist may not have been connecting on his passes, but the offensive line didn't give him much time to get set. Crist was sacked four times for a loss of 28 yards, including twice in the fourth quarter. Christian Matthews ran the wildcat offense with ease. Matthews carried the ball five times for 43 yards, while constantly scanning the field for a tailback to option to — and most times finding one. Matthews was the catalyst for an otherwise non-existent offense. GAME BALL Basketball Car KEEPING THE HAWKS ROLLING SINCE 1974 Don's Auto Center Inc.

Jayhawks let lead slip away yet again FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com After four lead changes and a touchdown from junior running back James Sims to open up the second half, Kansas went into the fourth quarter with a narrow four-point lead. The Jayhawks defense wanted to limit Northern Illinois junior quarterback Jordan Lynch and help the team go back to .500 with a 2-2 record on the season. With a tight game on hand, Lynch failed to connect with one of his receivers early in the fourth quarter. Kansas junior cornerback Tyler Patmton stepped in front of the pass that was intended for Northern Illinois senior wide receiver Martel Moore. Patmton picked off Lynch and ran to the end zone for a 54-yard play. This defensive score created a 10-point cushion with 14:33 remaining in the game. However, Kansas could not hold the two possession lead. Ten seconds after the pick-off, Moore caught a 65-yard catch and ran for a touchdown to help put together a 17-point comeback win. "It was a little bit of a broken play" Kansas coach Charlie Weis said. "The quarterback is bobbling it and everyone is trying to go in there and make a play. He flips it and they take it to the house." Weis tried to keep the Jayhawks together after that play with a three-point lead, but the offense struggled to respond and the defense had trouble stopping Northern Illinois. "They just made a big play to cut it to a one-score game," Weis said. "You've got to get something going, and that's not what happened." After an offensive mishap on fourth down, the defense was forced to defend the Huskies at the Northern Illinois 29-yard line. Despite the Huskies having to go a long way to score, the lajhawks defense broke apart. Lynch completed four passes for 42 yards before junior kicker Mathew Sims connected on a 44-yard goal field to tie the game at 23. The Jayhawks offense was on the field shortly; they went three-and-out, going backwards after being on the field for little over a minute. The defense had to come back to the field sooner than expected. "I'm really disappointed," Weis said. "For the second time this year, you have a two-score lead in the second half and you can't get over that hurdle. At the end of the day, you have a two-score lead that turns into a one-score lead." Northern Illinois capitalized on a seven-play drive as junior running back Leighton Settle pushed his way forward for a two-yard score, making it 30-23. That touchdown run was Northern Illinois' first since the 8:50 mark in the third quarter. The Huskies held on to their lead while Kansas struggled finishing the game. Two weeks ago the team led and had roughly the same score, but could not finish the game strong. With the type of quarterback Lynch is and the type of offense Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren runs, the Jayhawks were mismatched. At times they were not ready for Norther Illinois' offense. Weis and defensive coordinator Dave Campo know that the defense has a lot to work on before resuming conference play in two weeks. "You're trying to get your best defensive personnel on the field to match their best offensive personnel," Weis said. "There were plays to be made that we didn't make. We didn't make plays when we had the opportunity to make plays." — Edited by Nikki Wentling Dayne Crist had his worst day as a Jayhawk against the Huskies. Crist went 10 for 26 with 147 yards, a passing percentage of 38.5 percent, but the offense found success with the wildcat formation. James Sims scored both of his touchdowns out of the wildcat, but once NIU caught onto the scheme the offense stalled again. OFFENSE Grade: D+ DEFENSE Grade: C SPECIAL TEAMS Kansas notched its 13th takeaway on the season in the form of a Tyler Patmon pick-six, but gave up a touchdown on the next play. Then again, when you give up 455 yards chances of a victory are significantly decreased. NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch had little trouble finding holes in the Kansas defense. Nick Prologo may be the best option Kansas has on kickoffs, but he's not the answer. It also doesn't help when the rest of the kickoff unit is having trouble tackling. The Jayhawks gave up 98 yards on four kickoffs and allowed NIU good field position to start their drives. Missing extra points won't help the Jayhawks win any games either. COACHING The game plan wasn't an issue for Kansas. Northern Illinois had trouble defending the run, so the Jayhawks pulled out the wildcat. Yet once the Huskies caught on to the scheme Kansas did little to adjust and abandoned the run game that had worked so well.

Instead, the team sits on the brink of another terrible season with the piece still missing at quarterback. Senior quarterback Dayne Crist scramble up the middle for a positive gain during a Saturday game against Northern Illinois in DeKalb, Ill. The Jayhawks lost 30-23 after being ahead 23-13 in the fourth quarter. When football coach Charlie Weis declared that senior quarterback Dayne Crist would play for the Jayhawks, many thought Crist would be the second-coming of former quarterback Todd Reesing. Some thought that he would be the missing piece to the team. After four games, the former five-star recruit has looked like anything but the answer for the struggling Jawhays. In his debut against South Dakota State, Crist looked a bit rusty. Crist completed 17 passes out of 36 attempts and threw for 169 yards and one touchdown. Though that may seem OK, completing 47 percent of your passes and throwing an interception against a football championship subdivision team isn't a great way to start your career on a new team The only problem is that the piece is still missing. Maybe Crist was over-hyped, but for a fifth-year player, the expectations are there. Crist can't miss wide-open passes that are guaranteed first downs or touchdowns. He can't continue to hold onto the ball for six to seven seconds and take a sack. He has to be the leader that the team lacks and make big plays down the stretch to prevent another dismal season at Kansas. Maybe Crist would shake off the rust against Rice. Well, that didn't happen. Crist threw 16 of his 28 passing attempts and throwing for 144 yards and one touchdown. But when Kansas needed a big first down, Crist threw a costly interception and Rice kicked a field goal to claim victory. Crist missed him by a mile, and hopes of getting a road victory since 2009 were erased quickly. To make things worse, Crist only completed 10 of his 26 passing attempts for 147 yards. That's 38.5 percent. On fourth and 17 on the 29-yard line with 10 minutes left, senior wide receiver Kale Pick somehow broke wide open. And then things only continued to spiral out of control. Against TCU, Crist's numbers were slightly better. He didn't throw a touchdown, but he did throw for 303 yards. That would be great, if only those yards converted to touchdowns. Kansas caused four turnovers, but Crist couldn't lead the team to the endzone. Also, he fumbled inside the five-yard line, which could have cut the lead to a one possession ball game. With a great opportunity on the road, the Jayhawks found themselves up by three points after a quick strike by Northern Illinois. The Jayhawks marched down the field and then stalled. NO FINISHING TOUCH BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com DEKALB, ILL. — Kansas fans who were waiting for senior quarterback Dayne Crist to lead the jayhaws to victory will have to show more patience. Since joining the Jayhawks, Crist has only one game in which he completed more than 50 percent of his passes — and it wasn't during day's 30-23 to Northern California. illinois. Crist MICHAEL BARRY Crist connected on 10 of 26 passes for 147 yards as Kansas gave up a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter against the Huskies. Crist accounted for half of the lavhawks 329 total yards. three-game suspension, the Jayhaws finally had their backfield at full strength and celebrated accordingly. It was another Saturday where running the ball would have to be relied on, although Kansas coach Charlie Weis did everything to keep the running game from being simple. With the return of junior running back James Sims from a Weis used the Wildcat formation, putting wide receiver Christian Matthews at quarterback and giving him many options at running back. It created more than enough chaos for the Jayhawks to exploit holes in the Northern Illinois defense. "They were pretty sound in the run game, but they really struggled Sims last week against Army," Weis said. "We have the Wildcat available to us, and we felt it was going to give us a chance to move the ball." At the start of the fourth quarter, junior running back Tyler Patmon intercepted Northern Illinois junior quarterback Jordan Lynch at midfield and returned the ball 54 yards to the end zone for the final bright spot on the jayhawks day. Kansas gained 179 yards and scored two touchdowns on the ground. James Sims reached the james Sims reached the end zone on a 26-yard run out of the Wildcat, and with the formation working, the Jayhawks managed to march right back to the goal line on the opening drive of the second half - where Sims finished it off again with a score. "Wildcat is effective until they start stretching to the perimeter," Weis said. "Once they start stretching to the perimeter then you go to something else. You don't go away from it because you don't think it's going to keep working." Kansas would miss the extra point, but remained pleased with a 23-13 lead. Senior safety Bradley McDougald tried his best to bring Kansas chewed up more than six minutes of clock, covered 71 yards and completed only two passes before Sims' second touchdown run. As the Huskies defensive ends began containing Matthews and his ability to run the offense, the Kansas defense made its presence felt as well. Kansas was up 17-13 when the offense and the Wildcat formation vanished. his team back to earth. "There were a lot of smiles, McDougald said. "I was just walking up and down the sideline saying next play because there was so much time left." McDougald's warning was either unheard or disregarded. Ten seconds after the Jayhawks had a taken control of the game, the Huskies answered right back. Lynch connected on a jump pass to senior wide receiver Martel Moore after the Kansas defense tried to blitz the Huskies quarterback. With nothing but green turf in front of him, Moore took CAMERON McDougald off for a 65-yard touchdown to make it a three-point game. Lynch picked up his third 100-yard rushing game this season, and passed for another 235 yards, all culminating in a Leighton Settle two-yard touchdown run with just over four minutes left in the fourth quarter to give the Huskies a 30-23 lead. Kansas would get two more shots on offense but could not produce any points. The offense that lived off the Wildcat formation died by not converting on anything else. "They brought a little more pressure in the second half," Crist said. "It's upsetting that we weren't mentally tough enough to finish a game where we had a two-score lead." VOLLEYBALL Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk Blocking helps Jayhawks sweep Tech GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com 13 KANSAS 4 Behind a balanced performance both offensively and defensively, the Kansas volleyball team swept the Texas Tech Red Raiders Saturday night to begin Big 12 play-1. 0 Defensively, three Jayhawks recorded six block assists, and three more had at least 10 digs. Kansas outblocked Texas Tech 14-2, which helped leave Tech with a .080 hitting percentage for the match. Freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery notched six kills, six block assists and led the team with 12 digs. She said blocking was the key defensively for Kansas, but that the layhawks' back row did a good job of communicating when the Red Raiders hit around the blocks. "It helps so much with us talking to each other and knowing who is going to get what ball and figuring out which defense to play against their hitters, too," Dockery said. The Jayhawks were just as efficient on offense, finishing with a season-high .371 hitting percentage. Middle blockers senior Tayler Tolefure and redshirt junior Caroline Jarmoc led the team offensive, finishing with 18 combined kills and only one attack error. Sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton jumps up for a kill during Saturday, Sept. 22 game against Texas Tech Texas Tech kept the score deadlocked at the beginning of the first set, but Kansas used a 4-0 to break a 9-9 tie. Tech never got closer than two points after that, as Kansas took the first set 25-16. The Red Raiders hurt themselves with nine errors in the first set, negating their nine kills and leaving them with a .000 hitting percentage for the set. WILLIAM ROBIN/ THE DAILY TOREADOR Junior libero Brianne Riley finished with 10 digs, joining Dockery and junior setter Erin McNorton as the three Jayhawks with double-digit digs. She said the Jayhawks knew a dominant first set would help the Jayhawks keep Texas Tech from getting back into the match. Kansas finished the set with 15 kills and only three errors. "We know if we start off the game our way then the rest should go our way, too." Riley said. The second set became lopsided much quicker. Kansas began the set on a 5-1 run, capped by Tolefree and Dockery teaming up for a block. The lead never dipped below three points after that and grew to as many as 10 points. Sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton made three of the Jayhawks' final four kills, stopping a brief Texas Tech run and giving the Jayhawks the second set again by a 25-16 score. Coach Ray Bechard said McClinton and the rest of the team were so efficient offensively because they made smart choices about how to hit the ball throughout the match. "Our setter did a good job of putting hitters in position to be successful, but out hitters just made good choices," Bechard said. "When the ball was there to take a heavy swing at they did. If they needed off-speed or to take a little off they did that, too." The third set was similar to the previous two. Kansas began on a 9-3 run with help from 2.5 blocks from Jarmoc and redshirt junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael. The Jayhawks only had one attack error during the set, helping them stretch Bechard said Kansas' seven total hitting errors stood out as a positive because they had 41 errors in their five-set victory over Creigh- their lead to as many as 11. A block by Toilefree and junior setter Kara Wehrs gave the Jayhawks the 25-15 set victory and the 3-0 sweep. The Jayhawks' Big 12 home ton Sept. 19.

It will begin this year on Oct. 1 and will run until Oct. 19 from 1 a.m. to 1 o.m. SHOW ME THE MONEY KU Cash Bus is back to quiz students' knowledge for cash prizes BRET IVY bivy@kansan.com Every day, students hop on one of many of the buses on campus. Whether they are going to class or heading back home, the daily grind of getting on and off the bus can get a little boring. But riding the bus in October doesn't have to be that way. Beginning October 1 the KU Cash Bus will be testing students' knowledge and rewarding them with vouchers for cash prizes. Cash Bus, directed by the Student Union Activities, is modeled after the Discovery Channel's game show, "Cash Cab." The competition gives students an opportunity to win money by answering Jayhawk related trivia. "We put together a lot of questions," SUA special events coordinator Jenna Olitsky said. "They range from KU sports to even names of buildings on campus; just a lot of stuff KU students may know, but they'll definitely have to think about." Last year, Cash Bus made its first trip on campus, sparking excitement in those who were able to get involved. "The first time I got on Cash Bus, I was kind of taken back," said Paul Pierce II, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo. "They had a lot of energy when we got on, and I didn't really know what was going on; but luckily enough they asked a question I knew, and I won!" The excitement inspired the SUA to bring Cash Bus back for a second year so students who weren't able to participate last year to win a little bit of money. "We really want everybody on campus to share in a fun experience," Oltisky said. "Plus, who doesn't love cash prizes?" "I think being on Cash Bus would be so cool," said Kassidy Mahoney, a freshman from Lawrence. "It's definitely something that sets us apart from other universities, and it's just another reason to come to KU." The Cash Bus will begin on Oct. 1 and will last until Oct. 19, running daily from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Cash Bus will not run during Fall Break. Edited by Hannah Wise HEALTH Walk in Clinic Check-in TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN Student Health Services now has now implemented a self check-in system for students at Watkins Health Services. Self check-in now available MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com Students can say goodbye to waiting in line at Watkins Memorial Health Center for their doctor's appointments. Last week, the center introduced a self check-in system, which allows students to sign-in for their appointments. "It'll certainly allow students to get through registration and directly to their doctor's appointments a lot faster," said Joe Gillespie, associate director of KU Student Health Services. After checking in at the kiosk, students receive a print out that tells them where to go. "I personally like being able to check myself in," said Linseye Johnson, a junior from Kansas City, Mo. Marshonda Willinghan, a senior from Kansas City, Mo. sees the system as a more convenient access to the health services offered at Watkins. Willinghan has worked as an office assistant at the clinic for three years and has all her health needs taken care of through Watkins. "The staff is more focused on students," Willingham said. "It's convenient because it's right on campus. Since the doctors only accept student patients, they are more attuned to their needs and can make a faster, more accurate diagnosis." All appointment costs are covered in the student-health fee of $115.20 per semester, but not all students use the services offered. Maria Ramirez, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., still goes to her family doctor. "Since I commute, it's more convenient for me to remain with my current doctor." Ramirez said. Ramirez isn't the only member of the student body not taking advantage of the student health services, approximately half the student body does not visit Watkins. Last year, the health center saw more than 15,000 people for a total of more than 100,000 appointments, Gillespie said. He estimated that at least 20 percent of students who walk through the door can now use the self-check in kiosk. Students without a scheduled appointments, making their first visit or changing their previous insurance information will still need to check in through the front desk, he said. Willingham has not seen many students come into Watkins this semester, but she expects that to change as the year continues because of increased illness and awareness of the center's services. "I feel comfortable at Watkins," Willingham said. "The staff makes students feel comfortable with any needs they may have." — Edited by Laken Rapier INTERNATIONAL Colombian president speaks about his Jayhawk journey ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com But for Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, the trip was less of a visit and more of a homecoming, as he returned to his Alma Matter for the first time since graduating in 1973. For the first time in the University's 146-year history, a sitting head-of-state visited campus. Santos and his delegation stopped over in Lawrence before they headed to the United Nations' General Assembly in New York, which starts on Sept. 25. During his brief visit, Santos spoke to an audience at the Dole Institute of Politics Monday afternoon, before being presented with the Alumni "When you consolidate the principles, the values, the experiences you have as a student, they eventually give you the instruments to be successful in life," Santos said. "I repeat with pride, those instruments were made at KU." Santos has applied them to how he's governed Colombia. Recently, Colombia captured the last remaining major drug lord, Daniel Barrera, in Venezuela with full cooperation of the Venezuelan authorities.

He joined the Delta Upsilon fraternity, where he lived for two years before moving into an apartment for his final year "Even though he didn't hold any leadership positions, anything is really possible." Pringle said. "I didn't know what to expect," Beltran said. "In Colombia it's really hard to see the president, and it's really cool that I can see him here." Vanessa Beltran, a junior from Overland Park, holds Colombian citizenry. She jumped at the chance to see President Santos. With his Kansas values under his belt, Santos heads to the U.N. General Assembly hoping to find solutions not only to the problems that face Colombia, but to ones that have a global impact. And he feels the general assembly is a great place to get things done. on campus. "Diplomacy is always a better solution than war." Santos said. Edited by Luke Ranker Index .

GSP dining hall opens with renovations "They can see the modern, more contemporary service style," she said. "It was a massive change." The renovated dining hall at Gertrude Sellards Pearson Residence Hall officially opened for business last week with its ribbon cutting ceremony. The original building, built in the 1950s, was "long overdue" for a change, said Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director for the Memorial Unions Residential Dining. The new cafeteria, the North College Café features eight cuisine stations, including Italian dishes, salads and ethnic made-to-order foods. The cafe focuses on healthy, fresh ingredients prepared in a convenient fashion for students. Kidwell said other universities across the nation have this style dining hall. Kidwell said the renovations received rave reviews from staff and returning students. The North College Cafe offers extended service hours, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Kidwell said the café feeds nearly 1,500 students each day. renovations to the Daisy Hill dining hall, Mrs. E's, will begin this summer. The renovations will feature a similar style to the North College Café. Allison Kohn CAMPUS A new pilot program through the KU Center for Sustainability aims to make Fraser Halt a greener and more efficient building. Program aims to make Fraser Hall eco-friendly The pilot is part of the Changing Excellence initiative "designed to address opportunities for energy conservation and the goals of the Campus Sustainability Plan," according to the project proposal. "There are some obvious financial benefits," Jeff Severin said, the center's director. "But the most obvious is to see a decrease of energy consumption in the building. It's important to be engaged and involve the community, so we encourage them to be greener. A team is currently assessing the building to develop an action plan. It will also examine the behaviors of people using the building to determine what areas need more education and what needs to be changed. For example, recycling bins may need to be moved to more convenient locations. The plot began in mid-September and is scheduled to be completed at the semester's close in December. Severin said if the pilot is successful, he would like to implement similar projects in different types of buildings like student housing, administrative or buildings with different functions that require different approaches. nepolitan presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney campaigns at D'Evelyn High School in Denver on Sunday. Rachel Salyer POLITICS Presidential election could come down to two states PRESIDENT ROBERT RODRIGUEZ ASSOCIATED PRESS With 43 days left until Election Day, here are insights into today's highlights in U.S. politics. Until recently, both states had been leaning Republican, although President Barack Obama carried them in 2008 — Ohio by five points, Florida by three. The two states are the sparkling jewels in the swing-state crown. One or the other — or both — could easily end up deciding the Electoral College winner. ASSOCIATED PRESS It could all boil down to Ohio and Florida. While Obama headed to New York Monday for the U.N. General Assembly, Romney campaigned in Colorado and planned to join running mate Paul Ryan on Tuesday for the last two days of a three-day Ohio bus tour. Obama campaigns in Ohio Wednesday. No Republican has ever won the presidency without carrying Ohio. Romney put out his own swing-state commercial blaming an alleged lax stance by Obama toward China for the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs. Both candidates cris crossed Florida last week. Of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, Florida holds 29 and Ohio 18. Six weeks out, many major polls show a slight Obama advantage, nationally as well as in Florida, Ohio and several other battleground states. The president's campaign opened a new ad offensive Monday in Ohio with a television spot blasting Romney's remark at a private fundraiser that "47 percent" of Americans don't pay federal income taxes and expect support from the government. The ad suggests Romney hasnt "come clean" on his own taxes by still refusing to release returns before 2010. The Romneys did release their 2011 returns Friday, showing they paid a rate of just 14.1 percent on $13.7 million in income. That's below the rate paid by millions of middle-class wage earners.

Ten climbers survived the avalanche that hit about 4 a.m. THE HELICOPTER Avalanche kills nine, six missing I ASSOCIATED PRESS KATMANDU, Nepal — Mountaineers who survived a pre-dawn avalanche high on the world's eighth-tallest peak say they waited an hour for sunlight, and then saw pieces of tents and bodies of victims strew around them on the snow. Veteran Italian climber Silvio Mondinelli said he and a fellow mountaineer were asleep when they heard a violent sound and felt their tent start to slide. "It was only a few seconds and we did not know what happened, but we had slid more than 200 meters (650 feet)." Mondinelli told The Associated Press on Monday. "All we wanted was for it to stop." The avalanche hit at about 4 a.m. Sunday while more than two dozen climbers were sleeping in their tents at Camp 3 on Mount Manaslu in northern Nepal. At least nine climbers were killed and six are believed still missing. Helicopters flew over the slopes on Monday to search for the missing mountaineers as climbers and guides searched the slopes on foot. Rescuers brought down eight bodies — four French, one German, one Italian, one Spaniard and one Nepali guide — and were trying to retrieve the ninth from the 7,000-meter (22,960-foot) area where the avalanche struck, police Chief Basanta Bahadur Kuwar said. Ten climbers survived, but many of them were injured and were flown to hospitals by rescue helicopters. Three French climbers and two Germans were transported to hospitals in Katmandu on Sunday. Two Italians were flown there on Monday — Mondinelli, who has climbed the world's 14 highest peaks, and fellow mountaineer Christian Gobbi. Gobbi said they could not see at first when they looked out of their torn tent because it was pitch dark and they had no light. When the sun rose an hour later, they saw parts of tents scattered across the snow, along with people who had been killed or injured. They said they were able to assist the injured with the help of Sherpa guides who came from lower camps. Mount Manaslu is 8,156 meters (26,760 feet) high and has attracted more climbers recently because it is considered one of the easier peaks to climb among the world's tallest mountains. MIDDLE EAST 1.5 million Syrians affected by food shortage ASSOCIATED PRESS intention of carrying out reforms with neither BEIRUT (AP) — The number of Syrians in need of food aid has jumped from 250,000 in April to 1.5 million today, the head of the U.N.'s food agency said Monday, as more civilians are driven from their homes by an escalating civil war. Separately, the international envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, told reporters at the U.N. that the conflict threatens to spill across the Middle East and is "extremely bad and getting worse." In a closed-door session of the U.N. Security Council, Brahimi had harsh words for Bashar Assad, saying the Syrian president has no intention of carrying out reforms that would end his family's four-decade grip on Syria. Brahimi's comments were relayed by a diplomat who participated in the briefing and spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss publicly what was said. Assad insists he is ready to consider political reforms and portraits those fighting to bring him down as foreign-backed terrorists. Syria's opposition groups, both in exile and in the country, dismiss Assad's promises and say the dictator must step down ahead of any political dialogue. Syria's 18-month conflict appears to have reached a stalemate, with neither Assad's military nor armed rebels able to deliver a knock-out blow. The death toll has reached nearly 30,000, according to activists, while hundreds of thousands of Syrians have been displaced, many seeking refuge in neighboring Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. In New York, the U.N.'s World Food Program warned that it is running short of funds to cover operations in Syria because of sharply growing needs. World Food Program chief Ertharin Cousin said the agency had raised $78 million, but needs $60 million more to cover its annual Syria budget. ASSOCIATED PRESS A48 Free Syrian Army fighters are seen in a truck outside their headquarters in Aleppo, Syria on Sunday. EUROPE Religious tax criticized by reform group ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — A Catholic reform group in Germany criticized the country's bishops Monday for declaring that believers who refuse to pay religious taxes won't be able to receive the sacrament, become godparents or work in church institutions. A century-old agreement with the state adds up to nine percent to the income tax bill of Germany's 25 million registered Roman Catholics, earning the church more than 64 billion ($5.2 billion) annually. The same tax applies to Protestants and Jews. The churches use the income to pay employees' salaries and fund social work such as care for the elderly. The Catholic bishops' decree in Germany last week is part of an attempt to stem the steady flow of people who opt out of paying religious taxes. It declares that they have committed a "grave lapse" and effectively left the church. But the group We are Church said the bishops' decision to freeze believers out if they don't pay up was "the wrong signal at the wrong time." "Instead of seeking to understand the reasons for the high number of people leaving the church, this decree by the bishops represents a threat to the church's members," it said.

Acupuncture works, despite cupping pain HEALTH EMILY BROWN EMILY BROWN ebrown@kansan.com I decided to try out acupuncture because I'd heard it could help decrease anxiety and stress. Reporter Emily Brown shows brushing on her back after a 20-minute acupuncture session at Blue Kinko Center of Chinese Medicine, 512 E. 9th Street. In Chinese medicine, stress becomes chi energy getting backed up in the body's pathways, said Jody Krukowski, a naturopathic physician at The University of Kansas Hospital's Integrative Medicine department. Krukowski said she uses acupuncture in her private practice to get rid of that blockage. 2777 EMILY BROWN/KANSAN Even Western medicine recognizes the benefits: better muscle elasticity, increased concentration and decreased stress. 21952 The pain was minimal. I felt relaxed and calm, a common effect after acupuncture. So, I decided to give acupuncture a try. Jason Hamm, the acupuncturist who treated me at Blue Ginkgob Center of Chinese Medicine, said emotions can get stored in parts of the body. My stress was causing my muscles to tense, creating pain in those areas. The theory behind acupuncture is once you access the motor points, muscles relax, decreasing the pain. I had back pain, so Hamm put six or seven needles in my lower back and a few in my upper back. The needles are incredibly thin, and only stung a bit. However, they felt like tags on a shirt rubbing against my skin. Not painful, but not pleasant either. I laid on the table for 20 minutes. Hamm referred to it as a "forced meditation." The time allowed me to chill while my muscles relaxed around the needles — a sign that they were ready to be taken out. Then Hamm suggested a therapy called cupping, where a cotton ball dipped in alcohol is lit on fire and put into a cup, creating suction. He said this rids of toxins in the body, so I figured it couldn't hurt. As it turns out, it hurts pretty freaking badly. It felt like The Incredible Hulk grabbed parts of my back. After the cups popped off, I was twitchy and sore. I'd been warned there would be some red marks, but I wasn't too concerned at the time. However, it wasn't until I made it home that I realized those little red marks were actually giant, bright purple bruises. The bruises made it impossible to sleep on my back that night. Despite the cupping, I did really enjoy the acupuncture therapy. It only cost $60, and my lower back has been pain free since my appointment. But if I went again, I would skip the cupping, I'm willing to sacrifice my body to toxins, so I never go though that agony again.

The divorce rate may be declining as couples marry later and later, but children of divorced parents are still a dime a dozen. Many children of said divorces may find their parents' splits inconsequential to their own dating lives, but research shows that they usually aren't. Subconsciously, the feelings from the divorce may manifest, and even adult children of divorce who were once diehard believers in the power of a great love can suddenly lose faith in the idea altogether. This past Saturday my boyfriend's mother, a Wyoming native, married her long-term live-in boyfriend in Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyo. And she wasn't the only one. My own mother married her second husband in My boyfriend and my mothers both chose to take another plunge with second husbands, but the looming bitterness and tension I felt from my parents' divorce made me skeptical about being able to make it work with my first. By Rachel Keith rkeith@kansan.com July. And even though my boy-friends divorced when he was a young child and mine split when I was an adult, the effects those broken nuptials can have on both of us are generally the same. Here, age really is just a number. There age really is not the same in their book "Adult Children of Divorce," psychologists Elizabeth S. Thayer and Jeffrey Zimmerman examine the effects on children, regardless of age, whose parents' relationships end in "I don't." explain in their work that children of divorced parents tend to develop a fear of commitment, bad judgment about sex or emotional intimacy, a subconscious desire to sabotage their own relationships to retain a sense of control and more. Thayer and Zimmerman cessful. These lingering effects may last forever, or they just may be temporary like they were with me. When these potential issues combine, they can create a skewed sense of sex, love and relationships that destroys faith in something genuine and suc- But either way, it's important not to ditch a potential partner because of it. Often when people meet and one learns that the other's parents are divorced, it might send him packing in fear that that not only would that relationship have a similar fate, but that the other person in question is damaged goods as a whole. Children of divorced parents shouldn't be treated as charity case because it can add insult to injury. But they also shouldn't be considered unsuitable because of their parents' relationship. What matters is how they personally handle their own affairs, which isn't necessarily a completely lost cause if their parents have separated. Their parents' relationship is broken. They aren't. Nice guys finish last. Nice girls don't exist. But in the end dating is what we make it. It will work out, or it won't. When my boyfriend's mother announced her decision to marry her now husband in the aftermath of my parents' divorce, it felt like a glimmer of hope for the future of my relationship with her son. Our mothers being remarried might have an influence on our relationship. Or maybe it won't. GET OUT THERE Either way, though, the future of a relationship depends on several factors. Our parents' nuptials is only one. It would be a total game changer if the FFA accepted emojis. Endless Possibilities. Rachel Keith is graduate student in education from Wichita.

Don't be afraid to be your real self By Stephanie Bickel sbickel@kansan.com If anyone remembers an old episode of "Spongebob Squarepants" where Patrick tells Spongebob to yell off the rooftop, "I'm ugly and I'm proud," just remember that same concept except yell, "I'm weird and I'm proud!" Feel free to embrace your weirdness in all of its glory. HEALTHCARE If you're trying to say you're normal, stop that nonsense right now. Secretly, we're all a mess of weird, wanting to defy at least one of society's "rules." You may look like a regular 19-year-old guy, but you may still be recovering from the fact that ABC stopped making "Desperate Housewives." You may be a girl who loves playing the video game "Skylim." Or you may be a guy in a fraternity who secretly loves cargo shorts. We're all secretly, or not so secretly, different from the norm in our own way. Take me for example. I am kind of (OK, very) obsessed with cats. I spend way too much time on Reddit looking at cute cats, I oversee the cat emoji, and I have cat salt and pepper shakers. My close friends know of my weird obsession because anytime they see a cute cat picture, it's automatically sent to me. So now anyone reading this knows that I, Stephanie Bickel, love cats. I wonder if that guy's face permanently looks like Blue Steel. Let's back it up a bit. What is actually defined as "normal?" Merriam-Webster defines it as "conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern." One group may think they're normal while the other thinks they're just odd. I suppose there's really no normality, simply a perspective. You don't have to try to be the same, or you don't even have to try to stand out, just do whatever you please. However, there is a difference of being weird and really weird. There are some people who just think they're the only people alive and can start making up an interpretive dance during a lecture in Budig 120. I think as long as you recognize your differences while respecting others, it's perfectly fine. It's the basic concept of being a human being, which most people should understand by now. Honestly, it is normal to be weird. As much as that sounds contradicting people should learn to accept that fact. Denying someone their right to be weird as hell is just wrong. So go ahead. Indulge in a "Desperate Housewives" marathon, nerd out on "Skylirn," or wear your secret stash of cargo shorts with your Greek letters. If you feel like you're breaking society's rules of normality, know that there's probably someone else who's doing the same thing. By the way, if anyone finds a cute cat sweater, send it my way.

A face behind healthcare more than just finances I'm not a freedom-hating commie or a lazy freeloader suckling 'neath the red, white and blue teats of hardworking Americans' tax dollars - I'm just trying to survive without bankrupting my family. For a few weeks of this past summer, I joined the ranks of the nearly 50 million Americans without health insurance. My mom quit her job as a Spanish teacher to go back to school and get her master's degree, effectively releasing our whole family from her employer's group health care. And not a single health insurance company would cover me as an individual. So I had no choice but to join a vastly inferior group health care plan for students. You see, I have five pre-existing conditions, but most notably, Common Variable Immunodeficiency – a condition that prevents my body from fighting off communicable diseases. That means if I'm sitting within a few desks of the kid who is coughing, or sneezing, or not-so-directly wiping away snot on his sleeve, I'm likely to show up to class the next day clutching a box of Puffs Plus and shoving cough drops down my very inflamed throat. By Will Webber wwebber@kansan.com But that's not the best part: while the kid who first had the cold will probably be fine by the following week - I won't. I'll sustain it for a few days and then it'll grow into bronchitis and ultimately, pneumonia. I know this because it's happened. Five times. The good news is, I've had a way of remotely controlling my condition over the past couple years: every week, I'd infuse the healthy antibodies that my body is lacking into my stream, giving me an almost normal blood count. It's always painful pushing the needles into my stomach and sure, I'm a little groggy the next day, but this treatment had vastly improved my quality of life. I could rebuild my immune system and infuse the antibodies all by myself, from the comfort of my own home; I no longer had to worry about 104-degree fevers and terrifying, restless nights in the hospital. But my new insurance company refused to cover these treatments. For those of you unfamiliar with purified antibodies, they cost $5,000 for each monthly shipment. to go into withdrawal from the medicine in the days before each treatment. My parents and doctors fought tooth and nail with the provider until they finally met a compromise. Instead of weekly home treatments, I now go to a clinic every three weeks to infuse in bulk. Because I'm not a human, I'm a business. It costs more for my family, is less effective than weekly procedures, and causes me If you're still skeptical about health care reform, ask me how my new treatments feel. Ask me what it feels like to spend 5 hours motionlessly hooked up to an IV; or how demeaning it is to be 18 and have to ask a nurse to help every single time I have to urinate, which is really freaking often when a tube is running fluids directly into my body. If you're still skeptical about health care reform, ask me what withdrawal feels like. It feels like total helplessness and vulnerability – I managed to get seriously sick after four days untreated. It feels like I have no control over my body; my arms and hands shake uncontrollably and my head aches perpetually. It feels like I'm 16 again, trembling in that hospital bed and the doctor's are examining my CT scan and don't have a clue how to treat me. Some of you worry about mandates and government spending and "socialist medicine." Some of you worry about insurance premiums and damage to free enterprise. And then there's a group of us that get to sit in chairs, hooked up to bags of blood and medicine and worry if we're going to make enough money to live.

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2012 SCIENCE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Bill Nye advocates evolution ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRES In an Oct. 18, file photo, Bill Nye, host of television's "Bill Nye the Science Guy," arrives as President Barack Obama hosts a White House science fair in Washington. Nye recently waded into the evolution debate with an online video. ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The man known to a generation of Americans as "The Science Guy" is condemning efforts by some Christian groups to cast doubts on evolution and lawmakers who want to bring the Bible into science classrooms. Bill Nye, a mechanical engineer and star of the popular 1990s TV show "Bill Nye The Science Guy," has waded into the evolution debate with an online video that urges parents not to pass their religious-based doubts about evolution on to their children. Christians who view the stories of the Old Testament as historical fact have come to be known as creationists, and many argue that the world was created by God just a few thousand years ago. "The Earth is not 6,000 or 10,000 years old." Nye said in an interview with The Associated Press. "It's not. And that conflicts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs." Millions of Americans do hold those beliefs, according to a June Gallup poll that found 46 percent of Americans believe God created humans in their present form about 10.000 years ago. Nye, 56, also decried efforts in recent years by lawmakers and school boards in some states to present Bible stories as an alternative to evolution in public schools. Tennessee passed a law earlier this year that protects teachers who let students criticize evolution and other scientific theories. That echoes a Louisiana law passed in 2008 that allows teachers to introduce supplemental teaching materials in science classes. "If we raise a generation of students who don't believe in the process of science, who think everything that we've come to know about nature and the universe can be dismissed by a few sentences translated into English from some ancient text, you're not going to continue to innovate;" Nye said in a wide-ranging telephone interview. The brief online video was not Nye's first foray into the combustible debate, but "it's the first time it's gotten to be such a big deal." "I can see where one gets so caught up in this (debate) that you say something that will galvanize people in a bad way, that will make them hate you forever," he said. "But I emphasize that I'm not questioning someone's religion — much of that is how you were brought up." In the video he tells adults they can dismiss evolution, "but don't make your kids do it. Because we need them." Posted by Big Think, an online knowledge forum, the clip went viral and has 4.6 million views on YouTube. It has garnered 182,000 comments from critics and supporters. Nye, who is prone to inject dry humor into scientific discussions, said Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. It drew the ire of the creationism group Answers in Genesis, which built a biblically based Creation Museum in Kentucky that teaches the stories of the Old Testament and has attracted headlines for its assertion that dinosaurs roamed alongside Adam and Eve. the group produced a response video featuring two scientists who say the Bible has the true account of Earth's origins, and that "children should be exposed to both ideas concerning our past." "What I find troubling, when you listen to these people ... once in a while I get the impression that they're Ken Ham, a co-founder of Answers in Genesis, said dating methods used by scientists to measure the age of the earth are contradictory and many don't point to millions or billions of years of time. "We say the only dating method that is absolute is the Word of God," Ham said. "Time is the crucial factor for Bill Nye. Without the time of millions of years, you can't postulate evolution change." not kidding," Nye said. America is home to the world's biggest creationist following, Ham said, and the $27 million Creation Museum has averaged about 330,000 visitors a year since it opened just south of Cincinnati in 2007. EDUCATION SAT reading scores sink to all-time low I ASSOCIATED PRESS National reading scores on the SAT college-entrance exam have sunk to their lowest point in 40 years, and the proportion of test takers deemed fully prepared for college remains flat at 43 percent, the test's sponsors announced Monday morning. The average score on the exam's "critical reading" section among this year's college-bound seniors dropped to 496 points, down one point from last year and 34 points from 1972. Each of the SAT's three sections critical reading, writing and mathematics is scored on a range of 200 to 800. Writing scores also dipped one point from last year, to 488 SAT math scores remained steady from last year, at an average 514 nationwide. That score, too, was down from a peak of 520. recorded in 2005. —the lowest result since an essay-writing section was added to the test in 2006. The average writing score in that initial year was 497. The College Board calculated that 43 percent of SAT takers in this year's freshman class were well-prepared for studies at four-year colleges — the same figure as in 2011. That's based on the percentage of students scoring a combined 1550 points — an indication they would earn a B- average or better during their first year of college. "When less than half of kids who want to go to college are prepared to do so, that system is failing," said Gaston Caperton, president of the Manhattan based College Board, which sponsors the admissions test. The College Board itself has faced criticism since last year, when security lapses in SAT administration led to charges of cheating against more than 15 Long Island students. The case revolved around a graduate of Great Neck North High School, Sam Eshaghoff, who was charged with accepting thousands of dollars for taking the college-admissions tests for other students, using forged student IDs. As a result of that investigation, the College Board has put new security precautions in place for the next round of SAT testing that begins Oct. 6. One new requirement that will take effect early in 2013 is that test-takers will have to upload photos of themselves for the tickets that are issued to those scheduled for testing. According to SAT results released Monday, New York State's average reading score dropped two points from last year, to 478. Writing scores also were down one point, at 469. Math results rose a point, to 498. The proportion of New York State students taking the SAT —88 percent — is one of the highest in the country. As a result, New York's score averages tend to be lower than averages in states where student participation rates are lower. A GROCERY GAMBLE TICKETS WERE LISTED FOR THE FIRST TWO HOURS.

The Wichita Eagle reported that Hinshaw, who lost his reelection bid in August, said 49 inmates out of the jail's average population of 1,463 would be housed in a mental health pod, if the jail had one, and there are about 225 others who are taking some form of medication for mental disorders. "It's frustrating." Hinshaw said. "I think it's something that we do need in the Sedgwick County Jail. Right or wrong, regardless of how you feel about it, we see more people with mental illnesses being incarcerated, and we need to have the tools to provide the proper level of care." Some counties such as Johnson and Shawnee have created pods at their jails where prisoners suffering from mental illnesses are segregated from the general population. Of those 49 inmates, 43 are in custody on felony charges, including seven who are charged with murder or attempted murder. STATE Shortage of mental health facilities leaves more in jail ASSOCIATED PRESS WICHITA, Kan. — Scarce mental health resources in Kansas are boosting county jail populations with inmates who might be better served in a psychiatric ward than behind bars. But in Sedgwick County, the state's second most-populous county, Sheriff Robert Hinshaw has tried and failed for three years to get such a pod built at the county jail. Jails have become mental health institutions to some degree "In the end, the more effectively we work with our mental health population while they're in custody and keep them on their medications, the less likely they are to come back. Although we invest some money up front, in the long run it's much more cost-effective," Erickson said. Tom Erickson, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, said the county's special pods helps reduce the time mentally ill inmates spend behind bars because of the attention they receive while there. He said an inmate struggling with mental illness might get back on medications in jail, but not have the resources to stay on Johnson County's jail has two special units for people with mental illnesses, one for men and one for women. The sheriff's office also has started a "forensic assertive community team" that tries to help people reintegrate back into society after leaving jail. The average length of stay for an inmate is 28 days, but for the 49 inmates Hinsaw would house in a special pod, the average is 165 days. Sedgwick County spends nearly $68 per day to house one person in the jail. because the state's mental hospitals have waiting lists, and most counties, including Sedgwick, don't have long-term facilities for people with mental illnesses. With an average daily population of 650 to 700 inmates, Johnson County estimates about 17 percent of its inmates are mentally ill. Richard Kline, director of the department, said one pod is for inmates on suicide watch, one is for inmates "you can't put in a general population" because of mental illness, and the third is available for inmates who may have a combination of mental and medical problems. them after being released. He said the county works with inmates to get them help the help they need to stay out of jail in the future. Shawnee County, whose jail is operated by the county Department of Corrections, has three pods for people diagnosed with mental problems. "The economy is tough all over, so community resource dollars are tightening up," Kline said. "Access to the state hospitals is becoming more and more difficult. So even if someone wants to voluntarily commit themselves to Osawatomie or Larned, they've got a waiting line. If they don't have adequate support systems, well then, something happens and they end up in jail. The lack of state mental health facilities is a ripple effect. It ripples back to the community and then within the community, they end up in the jail." Shawnee County has been using special pods since 2002, Kline said. It has an average inmate population of about 475, and about 20 percent have serious and persistent mental illnesses. "It's a constant balancing act," Kline said. "We're the largest inpatient mental health facility in Shawnee County. We just are."

A: 2003-2004 season. They lost to the Steelers in the wildcard game. THE MORNING BREW Predicting the future: What's in store for the NFL? A few weeks ago, I threw out some "bold" predictions for college football, and so far, they are still holding true. West Virginia is still capable of winning the Big 12, DeAnthony Thomas has seven touchdowns through four games and Florida State is 4-0 and passed their biggest test on their schedule in the Clemson Tigers. I do understand though that we are just four weeks into the season, so I won't brag too much. After three weeks of NFL football, I think we have seen enough to make a few predictions as well. You could call this cheating a bit because I got a trial run before I made the bold predictions, and that's fine. I'll just be more outlandish to make up for it. Here are my BOLD predictions for the 2012 NFL season: THE CLEVELAND BROWNS WILL WIN JUST ONE GAME THIS SEASON. The fact is, the Browns just aren't good. Their best player, running back Trent Richardson, runs behind a miserable offensive line. Combine that with a poor passing game, and the Browns won't score enough points to win any games. By Jackson Long jlong@kaansan.com Their schedule is absolutely brutal, as well, and you can't read it and find a game where you think a win is plausible. I'm being nice, giving them their lone win. It's football, and anything can happen on any given Sunday. But one thing that will happen most of those Sunday's is a Browns' loss. I know, no one cares about the Seattle Seahawks, but I do. Pete Carroll has quietly built one of the best defenses in the NFC. Seattle's first loss was to undefeated Arizona, and they had a chance to win it at the end. The following THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS WILL WIN THE NFC WEST. week, Seattle easily handled a 2-1 Dallas team with a 27-7 victory. The schedule is more than formidable to keep the Seahawks in the divisional race. I think Arizona will cool down because they're been very dependent on turnovers so far this year, and San Francisco has been less than impressive this season, as well. If Seattle can find a way to score some points, this team could be the surprise of the NFL. THE ATLANTA FALCONS WILL BEAT THE BALTIMORE RAVENS TO WIN THE SUPER KU Successful NFL teams have two things. The first is great coaching. During crunch time, it takes a guy who can keep things organized and make the big time calls. The second is excellent quarterback play. This doesn't mean you have to be Aaron Rodgers and throw it 40 times a game. It just takes a quarterback that will make the throws when the game is on the line. Sorry Kansas City, but both requirements eliminate the Chiefs. Baltimore and Atlanta are two of the most balanced teams in football, and both have been making their way to the top of the league in the past few seasons. Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco are quarterbacks capable of making the big throw in the big moment, and each team also boasts a top-tier defense and a clear discipline that is product of their coaching. Consistency is the key, and I think that its what drives these teams to the final game. We'll see if these last as long as the other ones do. I'm no expert, but picking crazy things is pretty fun. And shoot, if I get them right, I look pretty good. If I get them wrong, you don't have to read the Brew on Tuesdays anymore.

Monday All-American Championships All day Lawrence Women's Volleyball FOOTBALL Big 12 grabs attention with offensive play ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Newcomers West Virginia and FCU are fitting in nicely to the pass-crazy Big 12. The Mountaineers' Geno Smith and the Horned Frogs' Casey Pachall have helped elevate the conference's stock of talented quarterbacks following the departures to the NFL of Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor and Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden. Smith is among the national leaders in passing yards and is tied for the FBS lead with 12 touchdown passes. Pachall leads in passing efficiency with six other Big 12 quarterbacks among the top 20. said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. "So, it's going to be fun to watch this thing." Last year the Big 12 had four 4000-yard passers. Despite the losses of Weeden, Griffin and Ryan Fannehill of now-former Big 12 member Texas A&M, "the Big 12 is just going through the roof again with offensive numbers" 90 30 73 Five of the top 10 scoring teams in the country are from the Big 12, so it helps to have a quarterback up to the challenge of a frenetic offensive pace. West Virginia coach Dana Holgerson has prepared his team to fit in to a high-scoring conference yet said each Big 12 opponent will dictate what he does with his offense. "We've got to get out there and put these guys in position to be successful, and hopefully you'll have more points than they do in the end," Holgorsen said. That might be a lot on Saturday, when Smith and Griffin's successor, Nick Florence, go head-to-head when No. 9 West Virginia (3-0) makes its Big 12 debut at home against No. 25 Baylor (3-0). "He's phenomenal," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "The guy he's been playing really, really strongly the last couple of years. He's why they are where they're at. He's a great leader, a great football player. He seems really in control of what's going on on the football field, without question." Smith thrust himself into the national conversation in West Virginia's Orange Bowl whipping of Clemson and hasn't stopped since. He's thrown for 1,072 yards and 12 TDs with no interceptions this season. Florence has gotten up to speed on the Baylor starting job. Because he was Griffin's backup a year ago, Florence didn't throw a pass until late November. He's coming off a 351-yard, four-TD performance in a comeback win over Louisiana-Monroe. "His actions speak louder than my words." Briles said. "I think he's been exactly what we thought wed get out of him. He's been very, very productive. He's done exactly what he's been asked to do in his unselfish manner." ASSOCIATED PRESS Despite Pachall's efficiency for No. 15 TCU, coach Gary Patterson believes he has some improving to do, pointing out his first interception of the season when Pachall tried to force a ball to Josh Boyce inside the Virginia 5 on Saturday. Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein (7) throws as Oklahoma defensive end David King (90) works against Kansas State right tackle Tavon Rooks (73) during the second quarter of an NCAA college football game in Norman, Okla., Saturday. Pachall, who set school records for passing yards (2,921) and completions (228) as a sophomore last season, has kept up the pace this season and is the first Horned Frogs quarterback in 11 years with consecutive 300-yard passing games. "I don't think we've come close to reaching our potential in the league that we're playing in. The guy with the ball last sometimes wins," Patterson said. "He's got to do a better of understanding what we've got to do. It's not about yards. It's not about touchdowns. It's about finding ways to win ball games, and you've got to throw the ball away." Let's not forget about Big 12 veterans like Texas Tech's Seth Doege, Iowa State's Steele Jantz, Kansas State's Collin Klein, Oklahoma's Landry Jones and Texas' David Ash. Ash will be challenged Saturday to match the production of Oklahoma State, which leads the nation at 62 points per game. Ash got his first start as a freshman last year in a loss to the Cowboys. Gundy must decide whether freshman Wes Lunt will return from injury or backup J.W. Walsh will get his first start. Walsh led the Cowboys to a school-record 742 yards of total offense in a win against Louisiana-Lafayette. Lunt set a Big 12 freshman record with 436 passing yards in an earlier loss at Arizona.

The Nationals won 12-2. WASHINGTON — Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke saw his center fielder lose a ball in the sun. Then he saw his team lose its way the rest of the game. ASSOCIATED PRESS Now Roenicke has to hope the Brewers aren't going to lose touch in the NL wild-card race. A day after the Washington Nationals misplayed a pair of fly balls in the midday glare, it was the Brewers' turn to get in trouble. Carlos Gomez lost a ball in the sun, allowing Jayson Werth to end up with a two-out, two-run double as part of a six-run fourth inning Monday, and Milwaukee lost to Washington 12-2. "Once it gets out of hand, it's tough to keep everybody's intensity there," Roenicke said, "and because of it, a lot of things go wrong." The Brewers didn't help their playoff chances after entering the day $2 \frac{1}{2}$ games behind St. Louis for the NL's second wild-card slot. Jordan Zimmermann (12-8) allowed one run and four hits in 62-3 innings in the rare 1:05 p.m. weekday start. He also delivered two hits and drove in a run as a batter for the Nationals, who are a majors-best 93-60 and increased their division lead over the Atlanta Braves to five games with nine to play. Marco Estrada (4-7) lasted only four innings for the Brewers, allowing seven runs — six earned —and eight hits. He acknowledged losing his composure "a little bit" after Gomez's problems on Werth's ball into the sun. "It felt like it was a blink of an eye," Estrada said. "I looked up, the score was 2-1, and I was like, 'All right, let's get this guy out. Pop fly.' Next thing you know, it's 7-1. I couldn't believe it." As Roenicke put it: "It would've been a good game if that ball's caught." Right after Zimmermann's RBI single broke a 1-all tie, Werth hit a high飞 that could have been the third out — but Gomez couldn't find it. "I don't remember a worse sun field, worse sun conditions," said Werth, a major leaguer for a decade who plays right field for Washington. "You almost don't have a chance out there as the game goes on." Gomez paused and held his glove up to try to shade his view, then suddenly scrambled to his left and tried to make a diving catch. "Nothing you can do" Gomez said. The ball smacked off the dark sweat band on his left forearm and trickled away. Roenicke knew his player was having a hard time locating the ball. and I could tell he was off line." After Bryce Harper walked and joined Werth in a double steal, Ryan Zimmerman sent a three-run shot to right-center for his 24th homer and a 7-1 lead. "As soon as the ball went up, he was 10 feet off," Roenicke said. "I was watching the ball, where it was, and watching where he was, In Milwaukee's 6-2 victory Sunday, Werth and Harper each failed to catch a ball because of the sun, leading to hits. Werth's display was on a shot by Gomez. Afterward, Harper joked about trouble dealing with the "sun monster." "Payback," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Monday. "It's a tough sun, I mean, this time of year, that time of day." CRIME Football player faces charges in death MCPHERSON, Kan. — A former McPherson College football player is facing charges in connection to the beating death of a football player at nearby Tabor College in Kansas. McPherson County Attorney David Page said Monday that 19-year-old Alton Franklin of Dallas, Texas, is charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder. The charges were filed following the death Saturday of 26-year-old Brandon Brown of Sacramento, Calif. Police have said Brown was found lying unconscious in McPherson, about 25 miles from the Tabor campus in Hillsboro, early Sept. 16. He never regained consciousness. Messages left with Franklin's atorney, McPherson police and a Tabor spokesman weren't returned Monday. A McPherson College spokesman says Franklin played football last year but wasn't on this year's team. Both are NAIA colleges. Franklin is being held on $500,000 bond.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Associated Press J Toronto remains sans victory during team's final road trip BALTIMORE — The Toronto Blue Jays' final road trip of the season can't end soon enough. Toronto's losing streak reached seven games Monday with a 4-1 defeat against the Baltimore Orioles in the opener of a doubleheader. Henderson Alvarez (9-14) gave The Blue Jays are winless during a journey that began with three games in Yankee Stadium, continued in Tampa and will conclude at Camden Yards. They have been outscored 46-17 during their seven-game skid. "We can't run from what's taking place, and yet we have to continue to battle," Blue Jay's manager John Farrell said. up four runs, eight hits and three walks in 5 2-3 innings. He's 2-7 in his last 10 starts. Alvarez fell behind by giving up a two-run homer to Adam Jones in the fourth inning and a solo shot to Ryan Flaherty in the fifth. Speaking through an interpreter, Alvarez addressed the two drives by saying, "Pitch to Jones was high changeup. He's a good hitter and he did what he was supposed to do with that pitch. The other kid, the second baseman, (I) felt like it was a good pitch and he did a good job with it." Baltimore (88-65) matched the division-leading New York Yankees Jones went 4 for 4 to help the Orioles move within a half-game of the AL East lead. TEN in the win column. New York was scheduled to play at Minnesota on Monday night. Jones' four hits tied a career high. He has hit safely in 18 of 22 games in September, with six home runs and 13 RBIs. T "Adam relishes competition," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "He's obviously had a heck of a year. He's turning into quite a player." Asked if Jones deserves consideration for AL MVP, Showalter replied, "This team, we haven't really thought about that type of stuff yet. That will be fodder when our work's done here."

What did come through clear, regardless of the picture quality, is this Jayhawk team might improve this year, but it might not get any better in the win column. These first four games were the chance to set the tempo for the season. Now, it's going to be difficult to get off the path the lavhawks are going down. The good news is the team has a bye week to think about its problems. They can figure out why two double-digit fourth quarter leads were squandered against two teams from Conference USA and the Mid-American Conference. Edited by Laken Rapier The outlook looks pretty bleak, and if the.e's any chance of this turning into something, it will have to come together on this bye week. They can figure out why senior quarterback Dayne Crist continues to struggle throwing the football, and why the offensive line completely collapsed around that same quarterback during the second half against Northern Illinois. Many more questions remain that will try to be answered, in the end it doesn't matter. The fact is Kansas has one win, and it was against South Dakota State. Unless something crazy happens, that doesn't seem like it will change. Kansas fans knew this 2012 was going to be a slow and gutwrenching season, and now comes the most difficult part: the conference schedule. Every week the Jayhawks will see Big 12 teams looking to take advantage of playing the Kansas Jayhawks. Somehow, in the next week, Kansas must find a way to become a tougher team. They have to find a way to get respect from the rest of this conference going forward. Will this be another winless conference schedule, or will the Jayhawks find a way to win another game this season? The only way the Jayhawks will gain that kind of respect is by playing like they did against TCU. No matter how many games they lose, the effort has to be there. Putting out the effort will be difficult for Kansas, especially since it will be underdogs in the rest of its games. Now comes the difficult part to swallow for Kansas and its fan base. ROB TIMMONS 117 KANSAS 11 KANSAS 120 KANSAS 110 ORD Kansas runners lead the group at the 5k race at the Bob Timmons Classic on Sept. 1 at Rim Rock Farm. The Kansas women finished the race with the top three places. TARA BRYANT/KANSAN LEADING THE PACK After a promising first race, freshmen on the women's cross country team have high hopes I MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com It was the first cross country race of the season: the Bob Timmons Classic at Rim Rock Farm. The Kansas women's team featured three Jayhawks wearing the blue uniforms for the first time. Assistant coach Michael Whittlesey previously said this freshman class for the women's team was the best he has recruited in his four years at Kansas. But, before the race, Hannah Richardson, a freshman from Kirkwood, Mo., wasn't as sure as to how it was going to work. She turned to her teammate, redshirt Hayley Francis, a freshman from Lawrence, and asked "What are you going to do?" She wasn't alone, as Francis felt the same way. "I had no idea what to think of it" Richardson said. Their cluelessness is now laughable because both freshmen finished in the top five of the race. Richardson in second, Francis in fifth, and in between the two was another Kansas freshman, Sara Sewald, finishing in third. They figured it out all right. Whittlesey said since he's been "We figured it out," Francis said. at Kansas, there has not been a freshman he thought had a chance of being in the top five runners of the team. In the first meet, three of the top four runners were freshmen, and teammate Kyra Kilwein, a senior from Lawrence, won the race. Richardson admitted she still feels a bit clueless as to how things will play out in her freshman year. But her 6k time of 19:07.7 is an indication that she knows how to run a race. This could be the beginning of four big years for she and the Kansas women's cross country team. "Really, my goal is just to be the best I can be and see what happens," Richardson said. "And see what coach Whitt can do with me." Richardson seems to epitomize the characteristics that Whittlesey said he looks for when recruiting distance runners — levelheaded and competitive, with high expectations. There is room for mistakes by freshmen at this point, as long as they are aggressive mistakes, Whittlesey said, who prefer a runner start too fast in the first mile than too slow. "I always tell freshmen, 'Hey, you have a year or two to make aggressive mistakes,' Whittlesey said. "I never have a problem with a freshman making an aggressive mistake" A lot remains for them to learn. Francis said she has not run competitively in two years because of injuries. Richardson has yet to set a time to break, because she still doesn't know what a good 6k time is. "I don't think any of us expected that we would have as much depth as we do," Francis said. "So, I think it's just really exciting, we all do our part and then we see what happens when we put that all together." —Edited by Laken Rapier FOOTBALL Team will reflect during bye week nfordyce@kansan.com NATHAN FORDYCE After the third straight tough loss, the Kansas Jayhawks football team heads into a bye week still searching for answers. The Jayhawks lost to the Northern Illinois Huskies 30-23 after holding the lead late in the game. The stagnation of the offense in the fourth quarter hurt the Jayhawks' chances of coming out with a much-needed victory. Kansas head coach Charlie Weis stated his displeasure on the Big 12 teleconference call on Monday. about Northern Illinois. Weis has been around football for the majority of his life; he realizes that bye weeks aren't always a good thing, especially for a team that has been struggling over consecutive weeks. "The defense was just holding on for dear life," Weis said. "That's not good against a team that moves the ball that efficiently." "It's never good to go into a bye after a loss, because you have two weeks to think about it instead of just one," Weis said. "But I think we kind of got that game out of our system yesterday. That's why we practice on Sundays, because the best way to get something out of them is to get them back on the field because they are creatures of habit." PETER MALONE Weis Weis also said that the Jayhawks need to be smarter this week when it comes to developing the team and addressing the No. 7 Kansas State Wildcats. When it comes to the in-state rival Wildcats, Weis acknowledged One of the answers might come from the backfield in junior James Sims. On Saturday against Northern Illinois, Sims played his first game since being suspended for violating teams rules during the offseason. that the two teams are on complete different spectrums when it comes to this football season. "They're sitting there ranked seventh and undefeated," Weis said. "We're sitting here 1-3 and trying to find answers going against one of the best teams in the country." Even though Sims didn't start, "He's a physical runner and when we lost Taylor Cox early in the game, thank God James was there," Weis said. "Because his workload actually started picking up more than what it was designed to be" he had a huge effect, rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Sims proved to be vital despite not being in the original game plan.

It may sound silly, but improper microwaving has been the most common cause of fire emergency responses on campus this semester. James King, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical fire marshal, said that it's not a good idea for a person to cook if he or she is intoxicated. Of the eight fires reported, two occurred at Ellsworth Residence Hall when students were microwaving macaroni. "If you feel the need to eat, you probably should stop at a restaurant, because in those circumstances your attention isn't the best, and it's not uncommon to fall asleep," King said. The first fire from a macaroni incident was Aug. 26 at 4:23 a.m. when someone microwaved it without adding water. The second was Sept. 7 at 2:25 p.m. when someone burnt "Easy Mac" in the microwave, which also caused the container to burn. Both incidences were cleared and no damages were reported. Another cooking fire occurred Aug. 25 at Memorial Stadium when a plastic tray melted while sitting on a hot dog warmer and caused the alarm to sound. According to KU Crime Reports, the most monetary damage caused by fire on campus so far this semester was at K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall when a faulty stove caught fire after a student finished cooking, resulting in $6,500 in damage. or something over it," King said. "If people feel comfortable extinguishing it, they can, but without proper training it can harm them." Michael Marcus, a sophomore from Shawnee, lives in the hall and came home Sept. 9 to fire crews after tweets from hall members alerted him to the fire. "There was smoke billowing out of the kitchen." Marcus said. "We were pretty lucky it didn't do more, but accidents happen, and it just so happened to be to us." Marcus said hall members were able to extinguish the flames themselves to keep fire from spreading, something King doesn't recommend doing unless you have had training. 108 Another cause for fire on campus is poor disposal of cigarettes, said Chris Kearny, KU Office of Public Safety assistant chief of police. TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN "The best thing to do in those types of situations to ensure your own safety is to try isolating the fire by closing the door or putting a lid Berkeley Flats caught fire last week after a resident improperly disposed of smoking materials. This incident was the latest in a chain of campus fires. Others include fires in Ellsworth Residence Hall and K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall. A fire occurred in parking lot 46 in the 1400 block of Memorial Drive when a cigarette package caught fire. Keary said it's important to make sure cigarettes are disposed of in the designated trash areas, but it's also important people don't set trash in those same areas. Improper disposal of smoking materials was also determined to be the cause of a fire at Berkeley Flats apartment complex Sept. 19, which resulted in an estimated $400,000 in damage. King said furniture on the porch or balcony area also contributed to the fire. King said a city ordinance banning non-designated outdoor furniture is in the works with city council. But the easiest rule for students to follow is to pay attention, Keary said. "Paying attention serves us well in all aspects, but especially in situations that could be dangerous," Keary said. "Making sure you are present when cooking, watching where you put your cigarettes, those types of things, can prevent a lot of those situations." Edited by Sarah McCabe FIRE SAFETY TIPS - Put cigarettes and trash in designated areas. - Read all directions before cooking, and make sure the packaging is properly removed. - Test smoke detectors once a month. Change the battery every time. - Clean out smoke detectors. Built-up dust can cause it to sound. - Put only designated outdoor furniture on the porch, balcony or areas up against your house. - Understand the area you live in and what exit options you have in case of fire.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO/JAIME GRABELL lhavens@kansan.com "It will be a completely different experience to observe Yom Kippur away from my family and rather in a room full of other KU students," said Brown, a freshman from Overland Park. September is both an exciting and busy month in the Jewish religion. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, was celebrated last Monday, Sept. 17. Apples and honey are iconic to this holiday, signifying a "sweet new year," or "Lshanah tova," meaning "for a good year." HEALTH Following just one week later is Yom Kippur, which is observed today. Yom Kippur is the holiest Rabbi Zalman of Chabad said that the turnout for Rosh Hashanah was beyond his expectations. He said he had high expectations for Yom Kippur. day on the Jewish calendar, better known as the Jewish Day of Atonement. who perhaps throughout the year do not participate actively — do make a great effort to attend on Yom Kippur." "As Yom Kippur is the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, we are expecting quite a crowd," Zalman said. "One of the most unique aspects of this holiday is how so many people — even those Since Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur fall within a week of one another, they are often viewed as a pair. Although he loves both, Zalman said, there is something special about Yom Kippur. A closing service will be held today in the Big 12 Room at the Kansas Union. It will begin at 6 p.m., directly followed by Havdalah and Break the Fast at 7:51 p.m. "There is nothing as meaningful as entering a 24-hour period where so much of my energy is focused on my soul versus my body," Zalman said. "By fasting on this day, I like to use my body's hunger to bring myself closer to my soul." Edited by Sarah McCabe Affordable Care Act gives students new insurance options MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com Students will experience the effects of the Affordable Care Act firsthand with the new health insurance plan offered by the University. While students may remain on their parents' health insurance until age 26, they can elect to purchase the revamped student plan, which aims to provide affordable coverage for student health needs. "The two biggest changes are an increase in benefit for medication and mental health as a result of the Affordable Care Act," said Jake Rapp, a graduate student from Lawrence. "The plan was designed for the student health insurance market, which assumes students are young and healthy single people." Rapp served on the Student Insurance Advisory Committee to the Kansas Board of Regents, which was tasked with making a student insurance plan that complied with the health care reform. Because most students just need prescription drug coverage and access to general care, Rapp said, the new plan at $104 a month is much lower than standard plans. Rapp finds purchasing the student plan less expensive than being covered by his wife's health insurance offered by her professional employer. Currently, more than 3,000 KU students purchase the Regent's insurance plan, and Diana Gillespie, associate director of KU Student Health Services, expects this number to only increase. While insurance companies are required to allow students to remain on their parents' plan through age 25, the increased premiums may make the Regent's plan more affordable, she said. Gillespie pointed to pharmaceuticals covered up to $100,000 previously capped at $2,500, full generic contraceptive coverage and congenital conditions covered up to $20,000 as changes that make the revised plan more competitive for students. Mary Beth Chambers, spokesperson for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas, said staying on a parent's policy or using the Regent's plan would likely be most cost-effective for students. Although students may remain on their parents' plan longer, Chambers did not anticipate a significant impact on the cost of health insurance. "It's been the trend for the cost of health insurance premiums to increase substantially based solely on students remaining on their parents' plans," Chambers said. On the Blue Cross and Blue Shield website, students can view the plans available based on their age, gender and benefits desired. Travis Wentworth, a graduate student from Berwick, Maine, has been satisfied with his student insurance so far, especially after he injured his knee last year. "I had knee surgery, and the insurance covered about 80 percent of the surgery cost," Wentworth said. He has heard other graduate students complain about the Regent's plan not covering some of their health needs, though. The plan currently covers treatment for each condition up to $100,000, which will increase to $500,000 in 2014 and will become unlimited in 2017 because of the Affordable Care Act provisions. While $100,000 might not be enough to cover a catastrophic condition such as cancer, Rapp said the statistical probability of such a condition is very low for students. If students want catastrophic coverage, he recommended purchasing it separately from an independent provider. Students should be able to use their insurance most everywhere, Gillespie said, since the plan's provider, United Health Care, is accepted across the country. Even if students choose a different insurance policy, Gillespie encourages all students to be covered at all times. "Unexpected medical expenses are one of the biggest reasons students aren't able to complete their education," Gillespie said. "We want to make sure they have the protection they need to avoid those expenses."

They were previously capped at $2,500. + Congenital conditions are now covered up to $20,000. These were previously not covered. + Deductibles were made more competitive. + Immunizations are now covered including flu, hepatitis, and tetanus shots. + Disease-related testing is now covered, including mammograms and prostate examinations. + Generic contraceptives are covered. + Because of the Affordable Care Act, the cap for coverage per illness will raise from $100,000 to $500,000. In the 2017, this cap will be unlimited.

Presidential candidates present foreign policy proposals ASSOCIATED PRESS President Barack Obama addressed the 67th photo of the General Assembly at United Nations headquarters on Tuesday. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig) ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - The presidential candidates on Tuesday laid out their visions of America's role in the world while making subtle political jabs at one another in dueling foreign policy speeches shaped by violent protests in the Middle East and their closely fought campaign at home. Republican nominee Mitt Romney smiled and joked with political foe Bill Clinton before delivering a speech that insinuated that President Barack Obama has not done enough to stop chaos overseas. A couple miles away in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama indirectly referenced Romney's statement, revealed last week in a secretly recorded video at a private fundraiser, that he doesn't have much faith in peace prospects between Israelis and Palestinians. Obama didn't mention the video but told the assembled world leaders: "Among Israelis and Palestinians, the future must not belong to those who turn their backs on the prospect of peace." Like Obama, Romney avoided direct criticism he's made during recent campaign appearances to reflect the setting at the gathering of political, humanitarian and business leaders at the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative. The GOP White House nominee said U.S. aid needs to be more effective in elevating people and bringing about lasting change in developing nations plagued by instability and violence, including the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya. In his remarks, Romney called the death a terrorist attack, language that Obama himself has not used but that his chief spokesman and secretary of state have. Obama told the United Nations that the violence in Libya "were attacks on America" and called on world leaders to help confront the root causes of rage across the Muslim world. "We somehow feel that we are at the mercy of events, rather than shaping events." Romney said. Romney said he would negotiate trade agreements and offer "prosperity pacts" in the Middle East and other developing nations to encourage open markets in exchange for U.S. aid. The aim of a much larger share of our aid must be the promotion of work and the fostering of free enterprise," Romney said. In a reflection of his policy on welfare in the United States, Romney said work is the key to lifting people out of poverty abroad by providing self-esteem and a grounding in reality instead of fanaticism. That message also was designed to appeal to white, working-class voters, who Obama has been targeting by sending Clinton out to campaign for him. Clinton gave Romney a warm introduction, which led Romney to jokingly acknowledge that the former president is helping his rival. "If there's one thing we've learned this election season, it's that a few words from Bill Clinton can do a man a lot of good," Romney said. "All I've got to do now is wait a New polling in key swing states indicates that Obama may indeed be experiencing a bounce since the Democratic National Convention, where Clinton offered a passionate defense of Obama's economic record and said Romney "fails the test of fiscal responsibility," among other criticisms of the Republican. couple days for that bounce to happen." Washington Post polls out Tuesday show Obama leading Romney in Ohio, 52 to 44 percent among likely voters. Romney planned to join runr- ting mate Paul Ryan in Ohio for campaign events later Tuesday and Wednesday. The president also had a slight edge in Florida, 51 to 47 percent among those most likely to vote, according to the Post polling. Obama fared much better among all registered Florida voters, with a lead of 9 percentage points, suggesting the president's campaign will need to focus on getting the maximum number of voters to the polls. Obama appeared at Clinton's gathering later in the day and announced new initiatives against human trafficking in the United States and overseas.

Compromises made to secure votes disappointed both sides of the abortion divide, which gathered in protest. Once it gets through Uruguay's lower house, the measure would go back to the Senate for approval of changes, but President Jose Mujica has said he will allow it to become law. The measure would give women the right to a legal abortion during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and decriminalize later-term abortions when the mother's life is at risk or when the fetus is so deformed that it wouldn't survive after birth. In cases of rape, abortions would be legal during the first 14 weeks. The goal is to reduce the number of illegal abortions in Uruguay, Congressman Ivan Posada of the center-left Independent Party told his fellow lawmakers Tuesday. Posada wrote the measure and is expected to provide a key 50th vote against the opposition of 49 other lawmakers. "They talk of 30,000 a year, a hypothetical number, but whatever the number is, it's quite dramatic for a country where 47,000 children are born each year." Posada explained earlier in an Associated Press interview. Luna Luna A poll this month showed 52 percent of Uruguayans would vote to legalize abortion if the question were put to the people, while 34 percent would vote against it.

Most of the prostitutes are gone, the luxury cars repossessed. Pirates talk more about catching lobsters than seizing cargo ships. SHEFFIELD Armed guards aboard cargo ships and an international naval armada complete with aircraft that carry out onshore raids have put a huge dent in Somali piracy and might even spell the end of the scourge. One piracy expert said it's too early to declare victory. But the numbers are startling: In 2010, pirates seized 47 vessels. This year they've taken only five. "There's nothing to do here these days. The hopes for a revitalized market are not high," said a pirate in the former pirate haven of Hobyo who gave his name as Hassan Abdi, a high school graduate who taught ASSOCIATED PRESS In this photo taken Sunday masked Somali pirate Abdi Ali walked past a Taiwanese fishing vessel that washed up on shore after the pirates were paid a ransom and released the crew, in the once-bustling pirate den of Hobyo, Somalia. English in a private school before turning to piracy in 2009. Faduma Ali, a prostitute in the inland town of Galkayo that became a pirate haven, longs for the days when her pirate customers had money. As she smoked a hookah in a hot, airless room last week, she sneered as she answered a phone call from a former customer seeking her services on credit. "Those days are over. Can you pay me $1,000?" she asked, the price she once commanded for a night's work. "If not, goodbye and leave me alone." She hung up and groaned out loud: "Money." EUROPE The caller, Abdirizaq Saleh, once had bodyguards and maids and the attention of beautiful women. When ransoms came in, a party was thrown, with blaring music, bottles of wine, the stimulant called khat and women for every man. Now Saleh is hiding from creditors in a dirty room filled with the dust-covered TVs and high-end clothes he acquired when flush. "Ships are being held longer, ransoms are getting smaller and attacks are less likely to succeed," Salah said. Drunk driver in downtown Moscow kills five orphaned teens and two adults ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW—It took a weekend road tragedy to jolt Russia into action over one of its most deadly threats: a chronic culture of drunk driving. Five orphaned teens were waiting for a bus with their guardians in Moscow on Saturday when a car careened into them, killing all seven. Grief turned to outrage when it emerged that the driver was heavily drunk and had a string of traffic violations on his record — including a DUI arrest two years ago. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and lawmakers have reacted with proposals to stiffen penalties on drunken drivers, and parliament debated the measures on Tuesday. But with bribery so commonplace and road laws rarely enforced, many wonder whether even the toughest response can change a deep-set culture of reckless driving. After the crash, police video shows Alexander Maximov stumbling out of his Toyota sedan, which he had been driving at 200 kilometers (125 miles per hour), bloodied and barely able to stand. He appeared in court Monday with his head wounds dressed, but still wearing the blood-speckled sweat-shirt from the day of the accident. The punishment for killing while drunken driving in Russia is stiff: The 30-year-old Maximov faces up to nine years in prison. But lawmakers are currently debating whether to make jail sentences even harsher, matching laws in the West. Even President Vladimir Putin weighed in Tuesday, demanding tougher punishments and condemning Maximov's apparent blithe indifference after the crash. "This criminal, he's a killer in fact, when speaking to investigators just said: 'I always do what I want,'" Putin said. "There are some things for which people just must be punished." Many Russians are furious that Maximov, who already had a DUI penalty on his license from 2010, was allowed back onto the roads in the first place. Drunken driving is punishable there by suspension of the driver's license for up to two years. In much of the West, by comparison, drunken driving is punished with jail time, heavy fines and re-education courses. It isn't only irresponsible drinking that makes Russia's roads dangerous. Russia's cities are struggling with fast-growing traffic density, which spurs drivers into pulling crazy stunts to get home as early as possible, such as jumping lights, squeezing through every gap in traffic and opportunistic trailing of racing ambulances.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: H equals Y STYLE Fashion week arrives in Paris ASSOCIATED PRESS Young knitwear designer and Rick Owens alumnus Alice Lemoine emerged from the shadows of her former mentor to produce an unassuming but highly accomplished show in rich spring colors. So it's perhaps fitting that the spring-summer 2013 season got going behind a giant clock: the iconic timekeeper of Paris' grand Gare de l'East train station. The setting may have been grand but the shows on the first day in Paris are often low-key, a showcase for emerging talent. Paris — the last city after New York, London and Milan to host shows — is offering up 95 frenetic catwalk spectacles back-to-back over eight days at opposite ends of the French capital. Belgian-born designer Anthony Vaccarella, whose star has been on a rise since Gwyneth Paltrow graced the cover of Harper's Bazaar in one of his dresses, delivered a slick and revealing show Tuesday, channeling black and white in an unusual summer collection. South Korean designer Moon Young Hee also throw away the color wheel to produce a sophisticated, demure show, with Impasse de la Defense mixed bold colors with retro and street styles. PARIS — Fashion week in Paris is always a race against time. Post-punk design house Impasse de la Defense, tucked away behind the clock of the Gare de l'East, got extra street creed as loud train announcements punctuated their colorful show. Their eclectic and contemporary mix included vibrant patchwork dresses, outre tulle bridal skirts and large shawls printed with images of clock architecture. Their soundtrack — a single harmonica played by a man who looked like a busker — added a dash of boho insuciance to the many the casual, loose-fitting, splash-dyed dresses. Wednesday's shows will include London's infant terrible Gareth Pugh, Guy Laroche and Dries Van Noten. IMPASSE DE LA DEFENSE Designer Karim Bonnet said he was channeling German street style after a holiday there last summer, but at times the clock seemed to turn to '70s flower power. The imaginative prints of cameras and the spines of novels on large shawls were a notable success. LAWRENCE 'Midget Wrestling' takes over Granada EMMA LEGAULT elegault@kansan.com Anyone entering The Granada theater tonight may think they've found themselves in the middle of an ordinary wrestling bout. Bright lights, ringside seating, deafening cheers — and dwarves? Dubbed "the baddest little show on Earth" by the header on their website, the Extreme Midget Wrestling Federation promises to be "one of the most entertaining, outrageous and unique shows out today." The owner of the Granada, Mike Logan, said this will draw the crowds. "It's like nothing we have on our concert calendar," he said. "You just don't see stuff like this every day." EXTREME MIDGET WRESTLING FEDERATION World's Smallest Wrestling Wednesday Sept.26 GRANADA ALLAGES Doors @8PM grauda lu, SPIKE The Granada hosted the event last September, and Logan said it last sold out. This year, the "Extreme Midget Wrestling" Facebook event caught the eye of Lucy Edmonds and her friends. Edmonds, a freshman from Kansas City, said she is excited about attending and stepping a little out of her comfort zone. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO "I'm not really involved with anything that has to do with wrestling or midgets, but it just sounded like a fun time and a good excuse to not do my homework," Edmons said. "I'm always trying to find fun or weird things to do that I wouldn't normally know about, so this fit me perfectly." The show comes complete with a ring announcer, an emcee and a DJ. The feature wrestlers this year include "Nasty Boy," "Lil Rampage," "Kid Jay," "Lil Show," "Lil Fabio," "J Mazing," "J Money," "Baby Jesus." Reynold Six, a senior from Nashua, N. H., was one of the spectators last year. He and a friend heard about it and decided to get tickets. Logan said the ring will be moved up to the stage to improve the audience's vantage point. The balcony has also been expanded. "We wanted to see if they would be real wrestlers or like, backyard wrestling," he said. "We were surprised that it was a smaller ring." The Extreme Midget Wrestling Federation is coming to The Granada at 8 p.m. tonight. Witness "the baddest little show on Earth" complete with an emcee and ring announcer. and "Lil' Eddie," just to name a few. "It's a genuinely good time. The wrestlers get the crowd involved and have a lot of fun," Logan said. "They like the ladies." "[Lil' Rampage] raps and does like, a sex show on them. They bring two girls up on stage and do a dance with them," he said. Six said the audience involvement was one of the most memorable parts of the show last year. According to Six, the wrestling doesn't disappoint. He was impressed with the intensity of the competition last year. However, in the future, he said, he would want to see female dwarf wrestlers added to the show. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $20 for ringside seating, which is limited. There is no service charge for tickets bought at the box office. "For 10 dollars, it is some realdeal entertainment that you are definitely not going to see very often." Logan said. The event is open to those 18 and older.

The exhibit will be open to people who visit Windsor Castle, which is roughly 20 miles west of London. It will run until June 2013. They will form part of the Portraits of a Monarch exhibit starting in November at Windsor Castle. The purchase was announced Monday, but royal officials refused to say how much was paid for the portraits.

'Collaborative learning'an excuse CAMPUS Watching that cheater was the impetus for my thoughts on the current trend towards a collaborative academic environment, particularly in the classroom. Collaboration in the college classroom is chic right now. Desks swivel and have wheels so students can work together. Class time is reserved for group work; watch the lectures before you come. My organic chemistry course had group quizzes. My thermodynamics course required homework partners. My microeconomics course takes daily quizzes as a class. I've been in school long enough to see some pretty egregious academic misconduct. Just the other day, I saw a classmate take a quiz for another classmate and turn it in, along with his own. I was awestruck. In a moment when I should have said something, I froze. We should consider why people would want to work together in the first place. Because of constraints like time and the chance to be better off, they choose to collaborate. Nice girls do exist. I'm engaged to one. This nice guy is #WINNING Please, don't boost the baseball players' egos anymore. They are cocky enough. One person can't do everything and simply increasing the number of people has diminishing returns. But, do these things matter in an classroom? By Chris Ouyang couyang@kansan.com It's possible, to some degree, though I wouldn't really count the blatant cheating I witnessed any kind of positive collaboration. Let's consider a less conspicuous example. Perhaps you've heard of the recent cheating debacle involving Harvard students whose take-home tests had eerily similar answers. Some students implicated in the fiasco have already come out with a defense of their actions; they collaborated because they couldn't understand the questions and the class was collaborative in nature to the point of being an expectation during the semester. Do they have a valid point? orative classroom in the first place? It's true that some student-teaching-student action will happen. It's completely true that some students learn class material better working with others. But aside from this, the results can be comically sad – a combination of pseudo-learning, leeching off peers, and flat out cheating by students, all enabled by our educational institution. Maybe, but I'm more concerned about how the situation fits the trend towards a collaborative classroom, a trend that played a role in the Harvard students' decision to work together on the take-home exam. Why trend towards a collab- The trend towards a collaborative classroom is hurting students. Students don't work in homework and quiz groups to come up with creative, compelling solutions. What happens is this: The student who knows the material dominates the group. Others who don't know the material skip ahead to wherever this most knowledgeable student already is. They don't work out the problem by themselves. Instead, they look at the most knowledgeable student's thought process and exclaim, "Oh! We see! We get it now!" Even worse is how they think that they can just keep up this pseudo-learning until the test and then then all the material at once. They stunt their own learning and are dependent on others. Then, they are expected to take a test. Alone. Despite all the "collaboration" that has happened, which has amounted to not really doing the homework independently and working all the problems in groups, they are expected to know everything autonomously. What a shocker – the student does poorly and then begs for a curve. "If only we took group tests, then all this time we spent 'collaborating' would prove useful!" I hope that no one reads the example I gave and seriously thinks that trending harder towards a collaborative classroom will solve the problems of a collaborative classroom. It won't. Students are getting away with not knowing much and this collaborative trend is to blame. There are definitely times when it makes sense, but homework partners? Group quizzes? Take-home, open-book, open-note tests? What ever happened to a competitive learning environment? Our university is just asking for our students to not learn anything. I'm not asking every course to eliminate every student on student interaction; I'm just asking that our university holds students accountable. I seriously look forward to the day where we put the force feeding of collaboration in the classroom behind us. In the meantime, cheating is cheating and no amount of pseudo-collaboration can cover up that fact. Ouyang is a junior majoring in potroleum engineering and economics from Overland Park.

Take time to indulge in TV TELEVISION If you were to walk through my house right now, you would probably find 50 percent o If you were to walk through my house right now, you would probably find 50 percent of the televisions tuned to some sort of reality TV - "Project Runway" is a favorite, along with "Toddlers and Tiaras" and the "Real Housewives" series. No shame. The other 50 percent would be tuned to a show we all know and love, both for its complex, increasingly perverse story lines and its unbeatable Benson-Stabler team. That's right, it's "Law and Order: SVU." Now say it with me: "In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories." By Lindsay Mayfield lmayfield@kansan.com Dun dun. Say what you will about crime dramas – that they're unrealistic, overly dramatic, predictable, what have you – but something about SVU is different. Maybe it's the fact that there are nearly 300 episodes to enjoy or that by the end of each episode, trying to sort through all the plot twists is like trying to untangle your Apple headphones after a full day in your backpack (read: extremely difficult). Furthermore, "Law and Order: SVU" is a big whopping helping of "look at your life, look at your choices." After seeing so many episodes, I feel relatively certain I won't agree to be a nanny for a man I meet in a nightclub or eat a salad with mushrooms on it when no one else has any. not really sure about that one, but I'm sure there's some justification. Everyone can justify his or her television choices in this way. With a football addiction, it's because you have to support your favorite team. With the "Bachelorette," it's because you just like to make fun of the contestants, it's not like you really believe they fall in love or anything. With "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" it... Well, I'm My point is, no one should be embarrassed by guilty pleasure television choices. If you're one of those people who dives for the remote when someone goes to look at your DVR list, own it. Keep it in moderation, of course. Add a little History Channel ("Pawn Stars" doesn't count) or C-SPAN every once in awhile. But just because Stabler's anger management issues or Benson's relating to rape victims is predictable doesn't mean we have to deprive ourselves of a series we love. We're college students. We have tests, papers, homework, deadlines, networking and extracurriculars to think about. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with indulging in a little MTV at the end of the day. Except for Snooki's baby. There's really no excuse for being interested in that. Mayfield is a junior studying journalism, public policy and leadership from Overland Park.

But only until basketball season if it doesn't get better By JI Barbosa By AJ Barbosa abarbosa@kansan.com But I still vote, though I don't know why. Maybe it's because it gives me an inherent right to complain about politics whenever I see fit, or maybe it's because I feel like a good American whenever I wear my "I Voted" sticker. Either way, I'm contributing to the poorly-oiled, rickety machine that is today's United States government. To me, that's a bit disconcerting. Basically, unless congress sides with the Commander-in-Chief, nothing's going to get done. That's why a lot of President Obama's promises from 2008 never came to frustion. If Romney is elected and the mid-term elections bring more Democrats, he's not going to get anything done, either. Everything is a crampshoot. In case you skipped out on politics and government classes, any promise each presidential candidate makes is subject to congress' approval. If that gray-haired gaggle of Brooks Brothers-wearing clowns isn't down with it, the president's ideas get shot down. When it comes to civic engagement, you and I are probably a lot alike: I keep myself informed and I have my opinions and views, but I'm not the kind of guy who goes canvassing the town encouraging people to vote for the candidate I believe in. I look at voting the same way I look at going to the Jayhawk Cafe—or, in the parlance of our times, the Hawk. Each time I patronize Lawrence's most notorious drinking establishment, I contribute to the widespread epidemic of collegiate binge drinking. I don't know why I do it, but I do. Maybe it's because it lowers my standards for more upscale bars, or maybe it's because I feel like a proper college kid when I wake up with that wrinkled, neon-orange wristband adhered to my wrist. When I was 18, I was excited to vote for the first time. When I first moved to Lawrence, I was excited to go to the Hawk. I've spent the better part of my first two years at school going to the Hawk each week and I've voted three or four times in the last two years. The allure of both diminishes each time. Logistically, they're almost identical. For example, if you don't arrive early, you're going to be waiting in line for a long time. Unfortunately, the days of gaining admission to the Hawk with a shoddy, cardboard fake are long gone; if your ID isn't legit, you could be in trouble. If you watch the news, you've seen the controversy that's arisen over new "Voter ID" laws in certain states. Now, in Kansas, casting your ballot carries the same requirements as getting into the Hawk (basically). There's been talk of "voter vigilante" groups plotting to intimidate minority voters outside of polling places who they believe may commit voter fraud, too. These guys are just like the Alcohol Beverage Control officers who litter the Hawk; if you don't look like you belong there, these professional haters will be on your back. Then there's the actual voting process, which is akin to the actual drinking process at the Hawk. The majority of politicians these days are just as cheap as the booze lining each bar at the Hawk. When you vote for your local congressmen, you'll be knocking down a variety of quick, watered-down liquors. Then you'll vote for a presidential candidate, which is comparable to ripping two-or-three "specialty" shots; concoctions with a sweet taste that cleverly masks the fact that they're still made up of cheap alcohol. Then you'll feel good about yourself. You'll feel like a good American. But remember this: No matter what kind of booze you pick and no matter which candidate you pick, you're still going to feel terrible tomorrow. But that's what makes America beautiful: we're free to make stupid decisions that are only going to give us headaches the next day. We can pick who crooked politician we trust to control our country and we can pick which type of booze we trust to control our thought-processes. That's democracy.

Police chase man riding a horse CRIME BUNNELL, Fla. — A man who police say was drunk while riding his horse through a northeast Florida town is now in jail after a police chase. Flagler County jail records show 29-year-old Charles Cowart was arrested Monday. He's being held on $7,000 bond on charges that include disorderly conduct, resisting arrest without violence and cruelty to animals. A message was left Tuesday at phone listing for Cowart in Bun- nell, about 60 miles south of Jacksonville. According to a charging affidavit, officers responded to a report of an "intoxicated male riding a horse" and found Cowart riding over railroad tracks. He told officers he was headed to his grandmother's house and ignored orders to get off the horse. He took off and police chased him for more than a half-hour. Associated Press Brownback hesitates on health care decision Alison Latham ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA—Kansas' insurance regulator is asking Gov. Sam Brownback to spell out the requirements for health coverage to be sold in a new online marketplace mandated by the federal health care overhaul, but Brownback still plans to make no decisions until after the presidential election. Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger made her recommendations public Tuesday, a day after she sent the conservative Republican governor a letter containing her proposals for the "benchmark plan" that companies must offer to participate in the online marketplace. The federal health care law says such marketplaces, known as exchanges, will start operating in 2014. Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger speaks in Topeka on June 28. Praeger said Tuesday she has sent a proposal to Gov. Sam Brownback for setting the minimum requirements for health insurance plans sold in an online marketplace mandated by federal law, but Brownback doesn't plan to make any decisions after the November 2012 presidential election. Praeger's proposal calls for requiring companies to offer the same coverage Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas does in its comprehensive plan for small groups, along with additional coverage for children's eye and dental care. The commissioner noted in her letter that if Brownback does not set the state's requirements by the end of September, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services could do it for the state. Brownback has strongly criticized the federal health care law, enacted in 2010 and championed by President Barack. Obama. Praeger, a moderate Republican, has praised the law as an important step toward providing universal access to health insurance, and she and Brownback disagree over how aggressive the state should be in setting up an exchange. "My administration will not make any decisions regarding the implementation of Obamacare until after the November elections," Brownback said in a statement Tuesday, reiterating the stance he's long held. States have until Nov. 16 to declare whether they still want to be partners in running an exchange or leave it entirely to the federal government. Kansas hasn't started to set one up because Brownback and Republicans who control the Legislature oppose the law. Brownback has argued that if Republican Mitt Romney defeats Obama, many requirements in the law are likely to be waived. NOTICE October 16 is the voter registration deadline.

MFA Areas of Emphasis: Motion Arts; Photography; Painting and Drawing 800-825-8753 | suva.edu SOUTH WEST UNIVERSITY OF VISUAL ARTS Praeger's proposal for the exchange's benchmark plan is designed to give consumers who use the online marketplace familiar coverage at competitive prices, said Linda Sheppard, the Insurance Department's project manager for the health overhaul. "This is all kind of coming together in a really short time frame," she said. "The companies are obviously really anxious to get the benchmark set as early as possible." CC "That does help the market stay stable." Sheppard said. The federal government limited Kansas and other states to setting their benchmarks based upon 10 health plans already widely available to their consumers. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas provides coverage for about 900,000 Kansans, and Praeger is proposing that the exchange benchmark be tied to its most popular small group plan. At the end of March, more than 30,000 people were enrolled in it. Sheppard said that if HHS sets the benchmark for Kansas, it could mandate different coverage for such services, as well as coverage for services such as speech and physical therapy. "Selecting this plan will allow for the most continuity in the marketplace as a large number of Kansans already have these benefits through their small business employer or as individuals," said company spokeswoman Mary Beth Chambers. But the federal health care law requires that the benchmark include coverage for children's eye and dental care, and the biggest health plans in Kansas generally don't, except through supplemental policies. Praeger proposes that coverage for those plans mirror what's available through the state for children of working-class families that can't afford private insurance. Associated Press HHS has already said it would base its benchmark for Kansas on the same plan.

Anna Kristina, a legal U.S. resident originally from the Scottish Highlands, made the plea in Manhattan court. The judge said she'll be sentenced Nov. 20 to time served and probation, and she could also be deported. She spent four months in jail before being released on $250,000 bond in June. Her lawyers said Cristina lived on a 12-acre property in Monroe, about 50 miles north of New York City, and rescued animals and The DAs office countered in court papers that Gristina "has not produced a shred of evidence of actual vindictiveness."

Two accused prostitutes and an accused money-launderer also have been arrested in the case. ASSOCIATED PRESS Gristina was arrested Feb. 22 as she left a friend's Morgan Stanley office after a fundraising meeting for her business, prosecutors say. In trying to get the case dismissed, her lawyer, Norman Pattis, wrote that the district attorney's office "vindictively prosecuted her as a result of her failure to cooperate with investigators" during what he called an illegal interrogation. Gristina said in court papers that investigators shrugged off her requests for a lawyer and told her they'd let her go if she gave them information about five men — not named in her filings, but described as a financier, an international banker and a member of a politically connected family, among others. Associated Press EDUCATION School district expands corporal punishment SPRINGTOWN, Texas — Like many schools in Texas, "spare the rod and spoil the child" might be considered the motto at Spring-town High School. But when two teenage girls there reportedly suffered bruises after being paddled by male assistant principals, some parents complained. They weren't upset about the punishment itself, but instead that the school violated the policy requiring an educator of the same sex as the student to dole out the paddling. So the school district has changed its policy — to expand, not abolish, corporal punishment. Board members voted Monday night to let administrators paddle students of the opposite sex, after Superintendent Michael Kelley cited a lack of women administraftors to carry out spankings. The new policy says a sambender school official must witness the paddling, which is just one "swat," and that parents also can request one spanking per semester. In all cases, a parent must give written permission and request it in lieu of another punishment, such as suspension or detention. "I personally think Texas is getting a black eye because of this," Kelley told The Associated Press. "People are assuming a school district can do whatever it wants because of this. That's not the case." Texas law allows schools to use corporal punishment unless a parent or guardian prohibits it in writing. The issue of the student or educator's gender is not addressed, and there are no state standards on the minimum or maximum ages of students who can be spanked, according to the Texas Education Agency. Cathi Watt, whose daughter was one of the two girls recently paddled, said Tuesday that she's OK with paddlings in schools "because they need it once in a while, and I got them when I was a kid." But she said the male administrator used too much force, so she does not support the new policy. Watt said her 16-year-old daughter, Jada, deserved to be spanked after she spoke sarcastically to a teacher and an assistant principal, "but she did not deserve to be bruised." "And what kind of message does it send these boys?" Watt said. "Is it telling them that it's OK to hit a girl?" Texas is one of 19 states allowing schools to spank students, but 97 of the nation's 100 largest school districts have banned corporal punishment, according to the Center for Effective Discipline. About 75 percent of the state's school districts use corporal punishment, including Springtown, a town of about 2,700 located about 30 miles northwest of Fort Worth, according to People Opposed to Paddling Students, a group based in Houston. Some of the major districts, including Fort Worth, don't paddle students. "It is never OK to hit a child. . Men should not be padding teenage girls, because there is a sexual connotation with teen girls but also with teen boys," said Jimmy Dunne, president of People Opposed to Paddling Students. State Rep. Alma Allen, D-Houston, thinks schools should never spank children, but her bill to abolish corporal punishment in Texas schools never passed. She said the compromised version of her bill, which did become law, was that parents could opt in. "Parents can choose whether to spank their children at home," Allen said. "When you send a child to school, it should be a place to be motivated — not a place to be beaten." Associated Press EXTREME SPORT Skydiver plans 23-mile jump 图 10-13 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The countdown is on for skydiver Felix Baumgartner. In just two weeks, Baumgartner will attempt to go supersonic when he jumps from a record altitude of 23 miles over New Mexico. Project managers announced Tuesday the feat will take place Oct. 8. ASSOCIATED PRESS The Austrian parachutist jumped from 13 miles in March and 18 miles in July. This time, he hopes to break the all-time record of 19.5 miles set in 1960. A giant helium balloon will hoist a pressurized capsule with Baumgartner inside, dressed in a pressure suit. Baumgartner expects to reach a top speed of 690 mph and break the sound barrier with only his body, less than a half-minute after he hops from his capsule. On Monday, a crew member adjusts the space capsule of the Red Bull Stratos mission in the pressure chamber at Brooks Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. Skydriver Felix Baumgartner will attempt to go supersonic when he jumps from the capsule at a record altitude of 23 miles over New Mexico. The same capsule was used for Baumgartner's two practice jumps but was damaged in the latest touchdown. It smashed down hard despite its parachute, and the outer shell had to be replaced with parts from a backup capsule. The entire craft was taken apart and reassembled. The repairs and retesting pushed the final flight from August to October. "I feel like a tiger in a cage waiting to get out," Baumgartner, 43, said in a statement. Project officials note that excellent weather will be needed to launch the 30 million-cubic-foot helium balloon from Roswell. Early fall is generally an optimal time for such endeavors. The entire flight will be monitored by a NASA-like Mission Control; the mission is known as Red Bull Stratos, short for stratosphere. The effort is privately funded by the energy drink maker. Associated Press CRIME Woman stays in prison because of threatening letter BOISE, Idaho — A woman who was about to be released from an Idaho prison will stay behind bars a while longer because federal prosecutors say she mailed a threatening stick figure drawing to a relative. Linda Joyce Lakes was serving time at the Pocatello Women's Correctional Center on probation violations stemming from a 2007 grand theft sentence, and she was scheduled to be released last Friday. But earlier this month, the U.S. attorney's office charged her with mailing threatening communications, a felony. Prosecutors say that in 2010, Lakes mailed a drawing that apparently depicted a battered stick figure alongside threatening phrases such as "No tears," "No hiding," and "No more you." Kyle Wright, an FBI agent in Pocatello who investigated the case, described the drawing in a court document. Wright also said in his affidavit that Lakes sent a letter with the drawing that indicated her prison sentence was coming to an end and that the recipient should be prepared for his final moments. "One stick figure appeared to be lying down with his face smashed. The baseball bat was lying nearby with damage that appeared to be consistent with its use on the first stick figure. The second stick figure appeared to be walking away with a smile," Wright wrote. The FBI agent also said that Lakes told the FBI her drawing symbolized her hate for a man who had abused her in the past, and that one day she wanted to beat and possibly kill him. Lakes was released from the state prison and taken into federal custody. She waived her preliminary hearing on the charge and has not yet entered a plea.

Contrary to the indications Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick gave the Freeport Free售后 after Saturday's 13-6 Notre Dame win over Michigan in South Bend, Ind., a Michigan official said Tuesday that the Fighting Irish are opting out of the series as soon as they can: following the 2014 matchup. The current contract states that a three-year notice is required to withdraw from the series. Michigan received a letter before Saturday night's game regarding Notre Dame's intention to cancel the scheduled games in 2015-17. The letter was first reported by the Associated Press. The teams have played regularly since 1978 — after a 35-year hiatus. They were scheduled to take a two-year break in 2018-19. Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon said Friday that he hoped to resume the rivalry in 2020. Associated Press FOOTBALI AP PHOTO Green Bay Packers fan Mike LePak holds a sign in front of Lambaue Field along Lombardi Avenue Tuesday in Green Bay, Wis., in protest of a controversial call in the Packers 14-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. NFL referees under criticism SO MUCH For REPLAYS Ref's Are Blind !! ASSOCIATED PRESS GREEN BAY, Wis. — Entire stadiums have booed them. The Patriots' Bill Belichick grabbed one by the arm and the Redskins' Kyle Shanahan was so 'hopping mad he followed one into the tunnel after the game. LeBron James tweeted he was "sick" about it and Dirk Nowitzki said he was "not gonna watch another nfl game until real ref" return, while fans pretty much everywhere except Seattle concluded that Green Bay was robbed. Some threatened to boycott until But it took the team that Vince Lombardi built, playing in a "Monday Night Football" headliner, to put the NFL's latest labor headache — locked-out officials and their struggling, under-fire replacements — front and center for the nation. Even President Barack Obama, a bears fan slogging through a re-election campaign, weighed in Tuesday, saying, "We've got to get our refs back." The NFL stood fast, giving no sign Tuesday that it was close to reaching a new labor pact with the referees' union. But the outage grew beyond NFL players (risking fines for speaking out) like Falcons tight end Anthony Gonzalez, who tweeted: "How do you miss that? Pop Warner refs would have gotten that right." Is this where the NFLs lockout of its regular refs comes to an end? On a call that many believe cost the Packers and their Cheesehead-wearing followers a win at Seattle? order is restored and others tried to pull the plug on their NFL satellite television packages, only to be told that they can't cancel in the middle of the season. "I don't really want to give money if they're going to be greedy about things," said Packers fan Chris Kroening, who lives in Milwaukee. "It's just not that fun to watch any more. I can find better things to do on a Sunday afternoon than watch refs make bad calls" For all their outrage, Kroening and Michael Mantuano, a Packers fan in Pine Bluff, Ark., both acknowledged that they would probably be watching on Sunday when Green Bay hosts the Saints. It all started when Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson's last-gasp pass into the end zone appeared to be hauled down by Packers defensive back M.D. Jennings while Seahawks receiver Golden Tate also got his hands on the ball. "Yeah, I'm going to watch the game because I still love the Packers," Mantuano said. "But it's a bitter pill to swallow on Tuesday morning when it just clearly wasn't the right call." Two replacement officials made contrasting signals — one indicated a touchdown, the other an interception — and they eventually ruted on the field that Tate had simultaneous possession with Jennings, which counts as a reception by the offensive player.

The NFL acknowledged Tuesday that Tate should have been flagged for offensive pass interference earlier on the play, which would have ended the game with a Packers victory. But league officials said the referee was correct that no indisputable visual evidence existed on a replay review to overturn the touchdown call. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers called it "awful" in his postgame interview and he didn't let up Tuesday. He called the league's conclusion "garbage" and said the officials were responsible for a "phantom" pass interference call earlier against the Packers before having "zero communication" after the final play. The result of the game, 14-12 Seattle, was final. That's certainly not how the Packers saw it, insisting that Jennings clearly had intercepted the pass. "I've got to do something that the NFL is not going to do: I have to apologize to the fans," Rodgers said on his weekly radio show on ESPN 540-AM in Milwaukee. "Our sport is generated — the multibillion-dollar machine — is generated by people who pay good money to watch us play. And the product that's on the field is not being complemented by an appropriate set of officials." 0 国家税务总局监制 --- SAN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN I WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2012 CAP PHOTO held along social call in PAGE 9 sm others tried their NFL wages, only cancel in a. t to give going to be id Packers to lives in it that fun can find a Sunday refs make Kroening a Packers Ark., both they would on Sunday the Saints. to watch will love the aid.

Weeks one and two had plenty of questionable moments, but the problems came to a head during week three. --- THE MORNING BREW NFL replacement referees spark controversy With the NFL and its regular officials in the middle of a labor dispute, the referees brought in By Jacob Clemen jclemen@kansan.com In the Sunday night football game between the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens, replacement referees were scrutinized for their call on a last-second field goal that gave Baltimore the victory. The ball appeared to cross directly above the goal post, and as the Ravens celebrated their win, Patriot head coach Bill Belichick tried to ask the referee for an explanation of his call. The referee stormed off the field, ignoring Belichick and sparking controversy over the official's ability to call games. In the fourth quarter of the Sunday afternoon game between the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco was allowed to challenge a play despite having already used all of their timeouts. San Francisco won the challenge and was awarded another timeout. The timeout then allowed them to challenge another play even later in the game. Finally, in the most talked-about moment of the NFL season so far, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Green Bay Packers on a last-second touchdown throw that appeared to be intercepted by Green Bay defensive back M.D. Jennings. One referee signaled touchdown while the other signaled for an interception and touchback. The play was reviewed and the touchdown was awarded to the Seahawks. As a Minnesota Vikings fan, I have no problem seeing the Packers lose, but putting inexperienced officials in these situations is bad for the game and can be dangerous for the players. Fortunately, the publicity surrounding the controversial touchdown shown on "Monday Night Football" should force the NFL to bring an end to the labor dispute. OZZIE GUILLEN CRITICIZED AGAIN Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen always seems to attract attention to himself, and rarely is it positive. Over the weekend, Marlins closer Heath Bell said in a radio interview that he finds it difficult to respect Gillen. This is the same manager who came under fire for his comments at the beginning of the season about Fidel Castro that outraged many Cubans living in Miami. Guillen was quoted in Time magazine saying he "loves" Castro and respects the dictator for staying in power so long. Guillen also defended Yunel Escobar after Escobar wrote a homophobic slur in Spanish on his eye black during a game against the Boston Red Sox last week. While Guillen may have been right in defending Escobar when he claimed that the offensive language was probably due to a language barrier, the manager still found himself on the unpopular side of controversy. KU sonality and colorful language in interviews, he may want to think carefully the next time he decides to voice his opinion, as he may just be talking himself out of his job. It probably doesn't help that his record since going to Miami this offseason has been a poor 66-87, good for last in the National League East while his former team, the Chicago White Sox, has improved from a 79-83 record to being on pace to win around 90 games this year.

"There's a couple of holes that can get you in trouble, but it kind of just sits right in front of you." "There are a couple of holes that require a nice drive, but there are a lot of holes that are wide open. If you just pay attention you should be able to hit the fairway and have a good score." The Jayhawks found the consistency they've been working for in practice during Monday's second round. Bermel said the Jayhawks played a mentally focused brand of golf and avoided major mistakes. The team played 13 holes of relaxed golf Saturday afternoon before tournament play. "We played out of carts," Bermel said. "It wasn't a practice round. We were just out playing. I think the guys had a good feel for the golf course after that." ished tied for 43rd with a 220.

In part because of boot camp. And also because he gets to run it with Roberts again. He returns older and wiser now, too, after his head coaching experience at St. Johns. Brew: NFL referee controversy PAGE 9 There have been some concerns about recruiting for Kansas basketball over the last few years, and whether that's justified or not, recruiting will pick up with Roberts on the staff. Self and Roberts would continue their success together, this time on the big stage at Illinois. The two went 78-24 in three seasons coaching the Fighting Illini and won two Big 10 championships. Following that season, Self left for Tulsa and Roberts journeyed with him. In three seasons, they went 74-27. In their final year at Tulsa, the team went 32-5 and finished with a school-best Elite Eight finish. However, their biggest accomplishment at Illinois would be the team that took the floor after Self and Roberts came to Kansas. Now, Roberts is back as one of Self's assistants, and if the past results mean anything, the reunion will be fruitful. COMMENTARY Self's new (old) right hand is here Eight seasons later, Roberts is back and will bring fresh air to a coaching staff that had begun to get a bit stale over the past few years. By that, I simply mean that no one had moved. The same assistants coaching, scouting and recruiting for seven seasons is great for consistency, but it's also bad for bringing in new ideas. It's bad for changing the status quo. You see, Self and Roberts go way back. 16 years, to be exact, when Self hired Roberts to be his assistant at Oral Roberts before the start of the 1996 season. It would be Self's best season at ORU. The team finished with a 21-7 record and a trip to the National Invitation Tournament, or NIT. QUEENS OF THE HILL By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com The team Self and Roberts left at Illinois included Deron Williams, Dee Brown, Luther Head and James Augustine. The team tied for the best NCAA record ever, going 37-2. Roberts left Self after one year at Kansas to take the head coaching job at St. Johns University in New York City. While the players are currently galloping down the court and back during Self's notoriously demanding boot camp, the coach has to be thrilled to have his old buddy Norm standing next to him In April, there was a major change made to the Kansas basketball team that, for the most part, has been overlooked. s This change was on the coaching staff, and no, it is not the departure of Danny Manning. It is the man who replaced Manning — Norm Roberts, the best assistant coach Bill Self has ever had. 2012 M. Lynn Smith Sunflower Invitational ILLINOIS STATE COMING OUT ON TOP JEFF JACOBSON/KANSAN The Women's Golf team poses with the trophy after the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Women's Golf Invitational on Sunday and Monday. The Jayhawks took first place. KU women's golf bests Arkansas State and Kansas State to win the Sunflower Invitational MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The Kansas women's golf team won the Marilyn Smith Sunflower Invitational at Alvamar Country Club in Lawrence Tuesday. In the past, the putter caused several issue for Boonraksasat, Thanuttra Boonrakasat led the jayhawks, finishing second as an individual with a total score of 221, five strokes over par, for the 54-hole tournament. Boonrakasat opened the tournament with a 77 before bouncing back to scores of 72 in the final two rounds. "From the first round, I did really well once I learned the greens, so I wouldn't make the same mistake again." Boonrakasat said. "My short game has improved a lot since last year." but after making the change from a conventional putter to the newer belly putter, she's noticed a solid improvement. Boonraksaat works to maintain a positive attitude while on the course. "This win means a lot," Bonraksasat said. "It will help everybody find more and gain more confidence. I think this will help for the next tournament." The Jayhawks continued to exhibit a change in attitude and The Sunflower Invitational gave Kansas players a chance to play in front of parents and fans who may not normally get to see the Jayhawks in action. For coach O'Neil, the win at home is an opportunity to build some momentum early in the fall season. O'Neil said winning at home was an added boost to this week's result. approach to the game that has coach Erin O'Neil encouraged this fall. "It was very apparent today," O'Neill said. "They definitely hung in there. I know there were some nerves in the beginning, but they hung around and got the job done. There's a great mentality this year. They're hard-working, and it's paying off." "We know the course really well," O'Neil said. "We just trusted that and played our game and made it happen today." The knowledge of their home course helped the Jayhawks hold an early lead throughout the 54-hole event. The Jayhawks Yupapor Kawinpakin finished fifth with a 54-hole total of 223. Gabby DiMarco also finished in the top 10, placing seventh with a score of 228. Audrey Yowell finished tied for 18th with a 236, and Meghan Potee completed the Kansas lineup in a tie for 22nd with a 237. The Jayhawks finished with a team score of 906 - 21 shots ahead of second place Arkansas State and 22 shots ahead of third place Kansas State.

VOLLEYBALL GOLF Cyclones a true test NATHAN FORDYCE nfordvce@kansan.com When Kansas coach Ray Bechard described upcoming opponent Iowa State, he could have been describing his own team. "Their libero and their setter are premier players in our league." Bechard said. "Got good balance. They played an extremely difficult schedule and their program over the last few years has represented our league as well as anybody." Junior Brianne Riley, the jayhawks' libero, ranks first in the Big 12 in digs per set with 5.4 digs per set, while the Cyclones' libero, junior Kristen Hahn, ranks third with 4.8 digs per set. Kansas' junior setter Erin McNorton leads the league in assists with an average of 12.3 assists per set. Iowa State ranks third again with senior setter Alison Landwehr, who averages 11.2 assists per set. However, the Jayhawks do not have the recent success that Iowa State does. They can begin to change that when they host the Cyclones Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. To beat Iowa State and assert themselves as members of an upper echelon Big 12 team, the jayhawks must limit the Cyclones' transition opportunities and play physically around the net. Beachard said that Iowa State is as offensively efficient as Kansas is and that the Cyclones would be one of the most physical teams Kansas has played so far. To maintain their efficiency against Iowa State, Bechard said at least seven Jayhawks needed to play at their highest level on Wednesday. It comes down to which team can make first contact, Bechard said. "They've got good balance now on the pins with a really dynamic leftie in Biggie." TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN Kansas will rely heavily on their own middle blockers, redshirt junior Caroline Jarmoc and senior Taylor Tolefree, to maintain the Jayhawks' presence at the net both offensively and defensively. Jarmoc ranks first in the Big 12 with a .409 hitting percentage and third in blocks with 1.4 blocks per set. Tolefree is fifth in the conference in hitting percentage at .353 and seventh in blocks with 1.2 per set.

In their Big 12 opener against Texas Tech, the Jayhawks outblocked the Red Raiders 14-2. Their dominant three-set victory over Texas Tech earned them 23 votes in the America Volleyball Coaches Association Coaches' Poll released Sept. 24. The Jayhawks will also rely on Redshirt junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael said Kansas could keep Iowa State from turning the match into a track meet by communicating with each other about Iowa State's movement on the court. "They run a lot of cross plays and things like that, and so I think we as pins and middles have to just be able to communicate very well to be effective," Carmichael said. Senior defensive specialist Morgan Boub said the Jayhawks defense at the net and in the back row is more efficient than in recent years, and so far the statistics back her up. The Jayhawks rank second in the Big 12 in opponent hitting percentage at .145, second in blocks with 2.94 blocks per set and first in digs with 16.3 digs per set. After the jayhawks dig a ball and transition to offense, it will be important for them to put away points as quickly as possible so they don't give Iowa State multiple opportunities to score and keep serve. Carmichael said the Jayhawks work on sideout in practice, which is when the team receiving the "We've been very crisp this season, and our blocking and our defense and passing has done very well," Boub said. "They have a very quick offense." serve wins the point and therefore the serve. Against Texas Tech, the jayhawks had a 75 percent sideout rate while keeping Texas Tech to 47 percent. "We work every day on sideeat and shots," Carmichael said. "In the beginning of practice, we do instead of actually swinging. You have to tip to score.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO AWESOME ACTIVITY Local 5k Color Run to be a 'chalk' full of fun 100 The Color Run is a 5k marathon traveling around the country and is finally coming to Lawrence on Oct. 6. Finishers will get covered in colored plaster and will also receive Willy Wonka candy. HANNAH PIERANGELO hpierangelo@kansan.com Looking to color outside the lines? Look no further. The Color Run, an exhilarating explosion of color cleverly disguised as a 5k race, is coming to Lawrence. The Color Run, a race in which white-clad runners are thoroughly covered in bursts of colored chalk along the course, will take over Lawrence on Saturday, Oct. 6. The event provides a fun, colorful, one-of-a-kind experience for both runners and teams. Whether looking to improve a personal 5k time or simply wanting to have a good time on a Saturday afternoon, the 'Happiest 5k on the Planet' should not be missed. Travis Snyder, creator and now executive director of The Color Run, is a die-hard runner who was looking to add a little fun to the average 5k all while giving back to the community. "He was inspired by a few different things, but the idea has been in the works for a few years," said Jackson Cozzens, The Color Run's media coordinator. "Travis was a triathlete and avid runner. He began creating his own running events 10 years ago. In an effort to create a non-threatening running environment where professional and novice runners could come together and enjoy the purity of the sport, The Color Run was born." The Color Run not only promotes a healthy and fun way to be active but also benefits a local charity or organization in each city. "We love integrating ourselves into each community," Snyder said. "Finding a great local charity that is highly involved in benefiting their community is very important. Rather than pick a national charity, which would be much easier, we chose a diverse group of charities. We have worked with everything from food banks to youth groups to children's hospitals." with access to better lives. The Color Run only boasts two rules: runners must wear white and must be plastered with color at the finish. The "color" is made of colored foodgrade cornstarch and is completely safe, biodegradable and washes out Lawrence's Color Run will benefit Bill Self's charity, the Assists Foundation. The foundation works with other community organizations to provide Lawrence's youth Macy Amsted, a sophomore from Wichita, plans to participate in The Color Run with her roommate. of clothing easily. "The idea of dressing in all white and having color thrown at you sounds like a fun activity," Amsden said. "It's a fun way to color something up that would otherwise be boring." Participants do not need to be top athletes or dedicated marathoners to take part in The Color Run. The event is open to both serious runners and beginners alike, and there is no age requirement or limit for participation. "Fun events are for everyone. For more serious runners, a fun run can be more of a break It's a way they can share their passion with friends and family," Snyder said. "Doing the Color Run is more about being social, a little more about the experience and mostly just about being. It's a lot less about expectation and just about fun." Jackie Ross, a sophomore from Wichita and a frequent 5k participant, is looking forward to this race more than she usually does for other runs. "I love the fact that the run isn't timed. Everyone should be able to participate at their own pace and be able to enjoy the event itself," Ross said. "I think The Color Run will be much more exciting." And the fun continues beyond the finish line. "It's what happens after the finish line that people really love. Color runners exit the finish line and enter what we call the 'Finish Festival,' Cozzens said. "There is a big stage with music, dancing and huge color throws where runners throw bags of powdered paint into the air. The Color Run is worthy of anyone's bucket list." Floods of people are taking advantage of the traveling event. According to Cozzens, each run averages nearly 15,000 participants. In the next year, The Color Run is touring more than 50 cities in the United States, eight in Australia and two in Brazil. "The Color Run is the Happiest 5k on the Planet," Cozzens said. "The reason The Color Run has grown so fast is because being healthy and happy is something everyone can relate to."

Burkhart, a former Tiller employee who also founded a separate Trust Women political action committee, has said for months that she was trying to raise money for a new clinic in Wichita. All of Kansas except for the Kansas City area — has been without an abortion clinic since an anti-abortion zealot murdered Tiller at the doctor's church in May 2009. Jurie Burkhart said the Wichita-based non-profit group Trust Women Foundation Inc., purchased Tiller's former clinic in late August. Erin Thompson, an attorney for Tiller's widow, Jeanne, confirmed the sale. Burkhart declined to discuss the details of the sale, but property tax records available online list the appraised value of the property at $734,100. Kansas obesity rates on the rise LIFESTYLE Associated Press NISSIN OBESITY FROM PAGE 1A PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY TRAVIS YOUNG "I felt awful about myself and I couldn't believe I let it get that far," Brown said. "I decided to change. I felt like I had this huge, long life ahead of me." America's obesity rates, along with health issues, are expected to dramatically increase over the next 20 years, according to a recent study, "F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2012," a report by Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "I am surprised," said Matthew Jones, a sophomore from Portland, Ore. "I figured with all the information on how to properly diet and take care of yourself these days, it be a lot easier to maintain your weight." Kansas' obesity rate is expected to more than double. Currently, 29.6 percent of adults are obese, according to the study, and the rate is projected to reach 62.1 percent by 2030. "You see a lot of people running and a lot of people bicycling, but they aren't the majority of the population," said Demetria Obilor, a senior from Las Vegas. "We need better programs for children, and more so, we need to educate parents so that they can reinforce the values that are being taught in schools." Obilor also said Kansas has a somewhat sedentary life style, and she wasn't shocked about the climbing rates. everyday contributes to the problem and the kinds of foods they eat." "Obesity is cause by a number of factors, including genetic and environmental factors," said Rie Steele, a professor of applied behavioral science. "The fact that kids are not getting enough physical activity Obesity is genetic in Brown's family. Bullying in high school also contributed to her obesity and low self esteem. "Girls were absolutely awful to me." Brown said. Girls picked on Brown throughout her childhood. She said she was a chubby girl but popular, which made some girls jealous. When she joined choir, Brown was chosen to sing a solo. Bullies said she looked fat in the dress she performed in, which she had trouble zipping up. Brown was also cyber bullied in high school because of her weight. Someone created a fake Facebook account and added Brown. After she accepted the unknown request, the person sent her links to websites that said things such as "how to tell if you are fat or pregnant." On a couple of occasions, the "hot guys" in school asked her out on dates or to dances. She rarely received attention from guys, and when she realized they were joking, she was hurt. "I remember coming home from high school and sitting in front of my TV," Brown said. "I would eat a whole thing of cookie dough and just feel bad for myself." While visiting home for fall break during her freshman year in college, Brown's little sister asked her to go the mail. "I made up an excuse to not go to the mall with her, because I was too embarrassed that I couldn't fit into the same clothes from stores that she wanted to shop in," Brown said. "I couldn't fit into anything from American Eagle." Reflecting on her embarrassing experiences helped Brown change her life. She said "it all started with small changes." After receiving the bad news from the doctor, she started cutting out the bad relationships in her life. She also started going to the gym for 20 minutes a day and eating healthier foods. Brown's weight loss progressed and she continued going to the gym and doing small workouts throughout her day. Family and friends encouraged and supported her new life style. She kept herself motivated by Googling weight loss quotes. She printed them off, cut them up and stuck them in a jar. Anytime she felt down about herself, she would pull a random quote to keep her going. As soon as Brown lost weight, guys started to notice her and started seriously ask her out. She was flattered by all the new attention, but she didn't realize it was negative attention. She said she made a couple of bad decisions. Her new challenge became weeding out the Today, Brown is 125 pounds and happier and healthier than ever. Over the course of two years, she lost 90 pounds. bad guys. Girls also started treating her differently. Before she lost weight, skinny girls didn't want to be her friend. Now, some girls think she's vain. Skinny girls, who didn't know her before, want to be her friend. "It's weird," Brown said. "I never get used to seeing myself. It feels good. I don't have any health problems anymore." Brown's goal is to become a nutritionist so she can help others accomplish weight loss and healthy life styles. In April, at 140 lbs, Brown started a blog to motivate other people struggling with obesity. "The first blog I wrote was so hard," Brown said. "It's emotional and physical. It's hard being that open, but I've had some many people tell me they go through the same things but no one ever speaks up and talks about it. Nobody wants to talk about their weight because everyone has weird body-image phobias." To view her blog, go to www. healthyhappylives.blogspot.com.

Health program to give cash prize to weight-loss winner LYDIA YOUNG lyoung@kansan.com RENEE DUMLER/KANSAN KU Recreation Services began its Scale Down Challenge, a 10-week challenge with weekly weigh-ins, training and community support, on Sept. 12. Students and staff weight in at the Recreation Center Wednesday afternoon for the 10-week KU Weight Loss Challenge. Winners can receive up to $500. Scale Down Challenge, a program dedicated to health and wellness, is now used by the University to increase the use of the campus fitness center in addition to promoting healthy lifestyles. Faculty members and students entered the weight-loss challenge for $25, and winners receive cash prizes. "We wouldn't be able to run a weight-loss challenge without Scale Down Challenge," said Amber Long, assistant director of fitness at Ambler Student Education Fitness Center. The main goal of the Scale Down Challenge is to promote weight loss in a healthy and safe manner. Participants using unhealthy weight loss practices or who lose a total of 9 percent or more body weight during a three-week period will be disqualified. Also, if a participants' body mass index, or BMI, drops below 18.5, which is considered underweight, the participant will be automatically disqualified from the challenge. "We do want [the weight loss] to be healthy," said Jill Urkoski, associate director of fitness and staff development. "The prize is just an incentive to us; it's not about the money." Participants are selected based on their need to lose weight and become healthy. For instance, if a person's initial BMI is below 20.5, they will not be allowed to participate. Participants may only miss a total of three weigh-ins, and their progress is also monitored online as well as their comparison to other participants. This helps provide participants motivation and incentive to continue with the program. "I think that fact that participants can see where everybody else is can be helpful for comparison's sake, but for those folks who are really competitive, I think that's key," Long said. Urkoski said another goal of the Currently 93 students and 60 faculty members are participating in the challenge, showing an increase in participation from previous challenges hosted by the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. Scale Down Challenge is to attract individuals who may not have felt comfortable exercising at the Rec Center before, emphasizing that the student recreation center is not just a place for people who are fit or athletic. Urkoaski said it's about seeing people like yourself working out and being active. "it's another way for us to identify with people who were wanting to come in to our facility but just didn't feel comfortable; and maybe we can make them feel comfortable by participating in programs and the possibilities of being active," Urkoski said. According to Urkoski, health affects students academics and performance, as well as faculty and staff's ability to engage with students. The Scale Down Challenge is a way to promote healthy living for everyone at the University and for students to continue to be healthy while attending college. "As a member of the faculty and staff, we're here to assist KU students in getting through college." Urkoski said. "If we're not healthy, then maybe we're not as good of instructors or not as good at trying to mentor." The challenge is currently in its second week, with faculty and staff members having lost 225 pounds total and students losing 260 pounds total. Weigh-ins for the Scale Down Challenge are Wednesdays at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center from 7:30-9 a.m. for faculty and staff, and 4:30-6 p.m. for students. Edited by Lauren Shelly LITERATURE University alumnus and author to speak about new book NIKKI WENTLING nwentling@kansan.com Thirteen people are bunched up in the corner of Frank's North Star Tavern, 508 Locust St., leaning in to hear each other over the background noises of music and clinking glasses. They gather around a table littered with empty beer cans, and almost everyone is thumbing through their copy of "Winter's Bone." The PBR Book Club met Tuesday night to discuss the book in preparation for Daniel Woodrell's visit to Lawrence. Woodrell, a University alum and the author of "Winter's Bone," will be at The Commons in Spooner Hall from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. today. Film & media studies professor John Tibbets will interview Woodrell about his writing process, and afterward there will be a question-and-answer session. This event is free and open to the public. WINTER'S BONE DANIEL MOOSNELL "We decided to make that event specifically about writing, so that will be an opportunity for students who are taking writing classes to come in and learn about his process and adapting books to film," said Rachel Smalter Hall, adult programs librarian for the Lawrence Public Library. Woodrell will also be interviewed by Brad Allen, director of the Lawrence Public Library, at SOURCE: LITTLE, BROWN AND COMPANY Liberty Hall from 7:30 to 9 p.m. today. Raven bookstore will be on site selling copies of "Winter's Bone," which attends can get signed before or after the event. Daniel Woodrell has written nine books, most of which are set in the Missouri Ozarks, where he was born. Woodrell dropped out of high school at 17 to join the Marines. Later, he received a BA from the University and an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop. Two of Woodrell's books were adapted to films; the movie adaptation of "Winter's Bone" was released June 2010, and was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. "Winter's Bone" centers on a teenage girl living in the Ozarks who is trying to take care of her family. When she is faced with the possibility of losing the family's home, Ree Dolly goes on a search for her absent father, who manufactures methamphetamine and put their home up as collateral for bail. Tanya Spacek, a junior from Rockford, Ill., is a member of the PBR Book Club. On Tuesday night, she joined in conversations about the book's genre, attitude and key themes. "Most people who think of white trash think of Jerry Springer. People of Walmart, that kind of thing," Spacek said. "But he was able to capture the mentality of these characters and portray them with strength. Their ability to care for themselves is all they have at this point, and they are getting things done and surviving." Rachel Smalter Hall said the themes in "Winter's Bone" are different from other books selected for Read Across Lawrence. Smalter Hall, director of Read Across Lawrence, said books are chosen based on their Kansas tie-ins and their ability to inspire conversation about important issues of our time. She said Woodrell's novel has more provocative themes, and the selection has gotten more people involved with the program. Smalter Hall also said that students are more inclined to read "Winter's Bone" than other books selected in the past, like "The Wizard of Oz," "In Cold Blood" and "To Kill a Mockingbird." "A lot of times those classic books are books people read as high school students," she said. "For someone who is decades beyond that in their lives, it's an opportunity to go back and reflect, but for younger readers, they just read that for an English class a handful of years ago. Having an author that isn't as widely read in the classroom does open that up for students at KU who might be interested but don't want to feel like they're doing homework." Read Across Lawrence is a collaboration of the Lawrence Public Library, the University libraries and Friends of the Lawrence Public Library. The libraries give away 1,000 free copies of the selected book each year and hold events to launch discussion. There will be two more events after Woodrell's visit: an all-ages trivia of a "Winter's Bone" Saturday, Sept. 29, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lawrence Public Library and a showing of the movie at Liberty Hall from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. - Edited by Sarah McCabe Suggested books If you liked the tough young female protagonist...

ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS OF SPORTS AND OF THE REAL WORLD MERRY REINSDORF ELECTION 2012 CALENDAR OF ACTIVITIES EC Quaker Society President/Prime Minister ELMHURST, Ill. — What a difference four years can make. In 2008, college campuses were filled with campaign posters and political rallies — and frenzy. Remember "Obamamania"? This year, it's difficult to find a college student who's truly excited about the presidential race. "Politics has gone back to that thing you don't want to bring up," says Abraham Mulberry. He's a freshman at Elmhurst College in suburban Chicago who's trying to start a club for young Democrats. Last election, his campus had an active Students for Obama chapter, organized well before the election. But this time, there's nary a campaign placard, for either President Barack Obama or Republican candidate Mitt Romney. "I wouldn't say the election is the No. 1 hot-button issue here," Mulberry says, disappointed. Granted, you don't see many signs of campaign enthusiasm in the neighborhoods that surround his campus, or elsewhere for that matter. But it's telling that, on many college campuses across the country — where, in 2008, then-candidate Obama's messages of "hope" and "change" easily took hold — the mood is markedly more subdued. "Certainly, some (young people) have stopped believing," says Molly Andolina, a political scientist at DePaul University in Chicago who tracks young voters. "Maybe that's inevitable. For structural reasons, it's easier to offer hope and change as a candidate, than as a president." "For young voters, it was like going to Woodstock in 1968," says John Della Volpe, the polling director at Harvard University's Institute of Politics. Now like a lot of Americans, they're more worried about the economy and finding jobs. Voter ID laws in some states, which ban or restrict the use of student IDs at the polls, also are causing confusion on campuses — at a time when students are already weary and cynical about political bickering in Washington. graduating in December. "That's the scariest thing to a lot of young people — that nothing is going to happen." In 2008, Weber cast a half-hearted vote for John McCain, certain Obama would win. This time, he's voting for Romney and sees the election as a "toss-up." He is still in the minority in the 18- to 29-year-old age group, according to polls. Young people are leaning strongly Democratic, as they traditionally do, and favor Obama by a wide margin — though some pollsters say the youngest new voters are showing signs that they may buck that trend. An Associated Press poll conducted earlier this month found that 61 percent of registered voters in the 18-to-29 bracket support the president, compared with 30 percent for Romney.

PAGE 4A THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN NEWS OF THE WORLD Associated Press --- SOUTH AMERICA Evangelical fashion hits Brazil BEST SELLER ASSOCIATED PRESS Dresses made by the Brazilian brand Kauly, which promotes itself as "Moda Evangelica" or "Evangelical Fashion," are worn by mannequins behind a shop window in Sao Paulo, Brazil. ITABORAI, Brazil — Strolling down the main shopping drag in this working-class Rio de Janeiro suburb, it's not the second-skin dresses in shocking pink spandex that catch the eye or even the strapless tops with strategically placed peekaboo paneling. On the tiny high street of Rio suburb itabora, not one but two evangelical clothing stores compete to dress the faithful. The newest look can instead be found in stores like Silica Eva- gelical Fashion, where the hot items are the demure, long-sleeved frocks with how low-can you-go hemlines and the polyester putty-colored potato sack dresses. Once so difficult to procure that evangelical women tended to make much of their own clothes themselves, the modest garb is now popping up all over Brazil. In the birthplace of the "fo dental" or dental floss string bikini, so-called evangelical fashion has emerged as a growing segment of the country's $52 billion-a-year textile industry, catering to the conservative sartorial needs of Brazil's burgeoning numbers of born-again Pentecostals. M&A Fashion got its start two decades ago as a conventional clothing shop, selling the short, tight styles favored in this tropical country, but shifted to evangelical offerings five years ago. Silica Evangelical Clothing, two doors down, opened in March. "It used to be that the word 'evangelical' had a tacky connotation," said M&A manager Marcelo Batista, who converted from Catholicism a decade ago. "But now, we're not afraid to show who we are." "Evangelical women now wear this clothing proudly," he said, gesturing at the racks of ample dresses, long A-line denim skirts and ribbed sweaters that in the 100-plus degree heat were enough to make you sweat just by looking at them. Introduced in the mid-19th century by American missionaries, Brazil's neo-Pentecostal churches were long regarded as fringe groups. Aggressive proselytizing, particularly among the poor and disenfranchised, has produced a dramatic spike in the community's numbers in recent decades and eaten away at Brazil's status as the world's largest Catholic country. In 1980, evangelicals represented just over 6 percent of the population, according to the country's IBGE statistics agency. In the 2010 census, more than 42 million people, or 22 percent of the country's 190 million, identified themselves as evangelicals. Some statisticians predict that if current trends hold, evangelical Christians could become the majority here by 2030. With the spiraling numbers have come increased visibility and political and economic strength. Three senators and 63 congressional representatives belong to evangelical churches, and a candidate with links to the Universal Church has a considerable lead in poll ahead of next month's mayoral race in Sao Paulo, South America's biggest city. The Universal Church also owns one of Brazil's main television networks, TV Record. Still, Brazil's evangelicals are far from a unified block. Today hosts of homegrown Pentecostal denominations have their own dress codes, which range from draconian to permissive. Evangelical men are also expected to dress modestly, in long-sleeved shirts and slacks that are more readily available in regular stores.

There is no discernible text or additional context provided in the image. MOSCOW — A Russian tycoon who has financed a newspaper critical of the Kremlin and supported the opposition has been charged with hooliganism and assault for punching a businessman during a television talk show. He dismissed the criminal case as politically motivated. Russia's top investigative agency, which announced the charges Wednesday, said the defendant, Alexander Lebedev, cannot leave Moscow while the probe is under way. In Russia, filing charges marks the start of a criminal investigation, which may or may not lead to a trial. Lebedev said in comments carried by the Interfax news agency that he considers the charges against him political and "completely made up" ASSOCIATED PRESS Russian billionaire banker Alexander Lebedev, who has financed a newspaper critical of the Kremlin and supported the opposition, was charged over an incident during a TV talk show a year ago in which he punched another businessman. He could face up to seven years in prison, if he's convicted on hooliganism charges similar to those that were filed against three members of the feminist rock band Pussy Riot. They were sentenced to two years each last month for performing a "punk prayer" against President Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral. The charges refer to a September 2011 incident when Lebedev punched property developer Sergei Polonsky during a TV discussion of the financial crisis, sending him tumbling to the ground. After the recording, Polonsky complained he had sustained a hand injury and that his jeans were ripped. According to the charges, however, an expert medical opinion dated Aug. 31 determined that Polonsky also received bruises to his hips and face that he did not realize were harmful at the time. Russia's hooliganism statute also requires proof the accused grossly violated social norms. Though Polonsky began the exchange by pointing at Lebedev and saying "I just feel like whacking somebody in the face right now," the charges assert he was not referring to anyone in particular and that Lebedev was "motivated by political hatred." A few days after the incident, Putin referred to the fight as "hoo-liganism," and a criminal investigation was launched in October. Putin has taken an increasingly tough course against dissent after massive protests against his rule last winter, with searches and interrogation of opposition activists and the passage of repressive bills. Lebedev, whose net worth was reported by Forbes magazine to be $1.1 billion, made his money in the banking industry. He has financed the Novaya Gazeta newspaper, which is fiercely critical of the Kremlin, and the British papers the Independent and the Evening Standard. Lebedev's son, Yeyeng, who owns the two British publications, tweeted that his father is "being targeted by people who don't like his stance against corruption, and hate Novaya." He later described the charges as "extraordinarily disproportionate". "My father has been targeted because of his determination to fight against corruption and to be a crusader for democracy in a country where this has not always been welcome," Lebedev's son said in a statement. MIDDLE EAST Cabinet minister granted amnesty ISLAMABAD — The Pakistani Taliban announced Wednesday that they were giving a Cabinet minister "amnesty," taking him off their hit list, because he offered a $100,000 bounty for the killing of an anti-Islam filmmaker. Separately, a breakaway faction of the Afghan Taliban announced its own bounty for those behind "Innocence of Muslims," the film that has sparked deadly protests across the Islamic world. The group is offering almost $500,000 in gold. Muslims have been angered by the crude, amateurish film's portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a child molester. Dozens of people, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, have died in violence linked to protests over the movie. The main figure behind the video, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, has put his home up for sale and gone into hiding since violence erupted over the 14-minute YouTube trailer for "Innocence of Muslims," which also has sparked debate over freedom of expression in the U.S. and in Europe. Some of the most intense protests have erupted in Pakistan, where the role of Islam in society is sacrosanct and anti-American sentiment runs high. It was in that atmosphere that Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour offered his $100,000 reward Saturday for anyone who kills Nakoula. CURSE ON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Pakistani protesters burn a representation of a U.S. flag and an effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama in the Pakistani border town of Chaman along the Afghanistan border. AFRICA Guinea's foreign debt cancelled CONAKRY, Guinea — More than $2.4 billion of Guinea's foreign debt is being cancelled in a major boost for the deeply impoverished West African nation whose mineral riches were looted over decades of corrupt dictatorship, government officials said Wednesday. Two-thirds of Guinea's total foreign debt is being eliminated because it has qualified for the IMF and World Bank program for heavily indebted poor countries, according to a government statement. "This will allow Guinea to free up substantial resources," said Anoumature Camara, an economist and consultant in Conakry who said the money could be redirected toward improving health and educational programs. Guinea's finances were left in ruins after nearly a quarter-century of rule by Lansana Conte, who pillaged state coffers to make his family fabulously wealthy before his death in 2008, according to economists. In 2010, the country held its first democratic election but the political reforms have not translated into immediate improvements for the lives of most Guineans, who remain deeply impoverished. About 75 percent of the country's 10 million people live below the poverty line, according to the United Nations. Fatou Bonte Bangoura, who sells smoked fish at a port in Guinea's capital, said Wednesday's announcement would mean little for Guineans who are struggling to support their families. "Our children need to eat, they need to be taken care of, they need to go to school," she lamented. Guinea's debt elimination won't result in individual families receiving money. "It doesn't feed me," she says. Agent Answers Agent Access Agent Alerts "WE'RE HERE to make college easier." Well, maybe just your banking.

Blood donations vital for hospital patients CAMPUS This week the KU community has the opportunity to make an incredible impact on the lives of thousands of people in need of blood transfusions in our community. The University of Kansas and the American Red Cross are hosting a blood drive all week long, open to blood donor veterans and first-timers alike. The goal, according to the Lawrence Journal-World, is 333 pints of blood—roughly equivalent to 333 successful donations. Those donations represent a lifesaving commodity to hundreds of people. That said, 20,000 students attend the University, so a serious effort by the KU community could benefit patients across the region. By Amanda Gress agress@kansan.com --- A 2007 University of Minnesota study estimated that about one third of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood. However, the number of people who actually choose to donate is far fewer. Currently, the Kansas City-based Community Blood Center, which provides seventy area hospitals with 3,600 units of blood each week, describes its supply as critical; meaning the supply for hospitals and patients is stretched thin. This shortage is especially acute now, after a summer break without school blood drives to bolster reserves. Having enough blood available is absolutely essential for treating patients. America's Blood Centers, an organization encompassing many smaller community programs across the country, reports that one seventh of hospital patients will require a blood transfusion. Patients undergoing organ transplant, anemic patients, some patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment, premature infants and patients who have lost blood because of injuries all need blood donations and blood donors to survive. Compared to the massive benefits that result from giving blood, the actual process is easy. After filling out medical paperwork, prospective donors meet with staff to undergo a brief physical exam. If the donor is eligible, the period where blood is extracted takes about ten minutes. Afterwards, donors can sit, rest, eat snacks and rehydrate. If you've already given blood this week, that's phenomenal. If not, I'd strongly recommend considering it. The time commitment isn't significant, especially if you'll find yourself on campus anyway, and the Red Cross is dependent on donors like you to supply 40 percent of blood used in the U.S. You also certainly don't have to go alone; if you're nervous or bored, bringing a friend or two can make donation process easier and more entertaining. Feeling uncomfortable around needles or blood is an entirely understandable concern. If that concern is causing you to hesitate, I can only say that the vast majority of people I've met who work at blood centers are incredibly competent, caring and friendly individuals who make donating as comfortable and as easy as possible. I used to give blood regularly, after a friend and I committed to go once every other month. The experience was a powerful one for me; at the time, I knew someone receiving frequent blood transfusions. My Community Blood Center also placed the stations to donate blood adjacent to the ones where patients received transfusions, so we could see the benefits of donating as we gave blood. Although I haven't donated since I moved to college, I miss that feeling of supporting the health of my community. I certainly plan to attend the drive this week, and I'm hoping hundreds of my fellow students will do the same.

Letter to the Editor Billy McCroy's most recent piece about Romney and Obama blew me away. Now, I feel that McCroy's goal is to help others form an educated opinion about the presidential candidates. However, this most recent piece was anything but educated. First, McCroy (like Romney) claims that the 47 percent of Americans not paying an income tax are the same 47 percent of Americans voting for Obama. It's misleading and just flat out incorrect. Secondly, he claims that the conservative message champions personal responsibility. Democrats and Republicans both champion personal responsibility; the Democrats simply support the idea that the government aids those whose lives get turned upside down instead of letting them fend for themselves. And what kind of president wants people to become beholden to the government? If that were true, Obama would have lost in 2008. Making that claim makes McCray no better than the looms that pass as news anchors and hosts on Fox News. sources and purchase cheaper coverage. Employers would save on costs by participating in the exchange. Finally, McCroy's "exercise" on Obamacare; his claim is hardly true. The fact is companies with more than 50 employees must pay a $2,000 penalty per employee if the company doesn't provide health care or if any employees receive health care subsidies to pay for coverage. Health care exchanges will be created so that small businesses can pool their re- The United States government is not a business. It's not in existence to maximize revenues and cut costs regardless of the consequences. It exists to serve the people, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – something that the Republican Party seems to have forgotted. So, shame on you, Billy McCroy, not just for using non-facts and half-truths, but for knowingly misleading your readers. Alex Boeding, sophomore Lenexa CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK Twitter photo of the week.

By Stephane Rogue sroque@kansan.com The 2012 Primetime Emmys was headlined by ABC's hit comedy "Modern Family" collecting four awards on 10 total nominations. While the show is one of my favorites, Julie Bowen, who plays Claire, for Best Supporting Comedy Actress? That's just absurd. Bowen isn't the second funniest actress on her own show, (Sofia Vergara and Ariel Winter are both funnier), let alone all other comedy TV series. Maybe it's because I think Bowen tries way too hard at her role, or that site makes it painfully obvious when doing so, but for her to beat out the much more talented pool of comic actresses shows me the Emmys haven't changed one bit. Popularity will reign over talent, and what frustrates me the most is that the Emmys expect us to believe the two terms are synonymous. Even Jon Stewart, after receiving his 10th best variety show award, had this to say in regards to the Emmys' foreseeable selections, "postapocalyptic aliens will find my box of statues in the future and they will find out just how predictable these [expletive] things can be." It wasn't all bad, though. As a huge Eric Stonestreet fan, I enjoyed seeing him bring home the Best Supporting Actor award. To play a flamboyant homosexual while being straight as an arrow is no easy feat, and Stonestreet nails it episode after episode. Either way, Levitan has earned the right to be brash, especially after his show won Most Outstanding Comedy Series, its third in a row, to finish out the successful evening for "Modern Family." Fizbo the Clown appearances continue to be the most comical aspect of "Modern Family". And what the hell was with "Modern Family" creator and writer Steven Levitan after winning the Directing for a Comedy Series award? "I wouldn't be here without faith in me." A little smug for a guy cleaning up the Emmys ever since the series premiered, no? While I have beef with the Emmys and their repetitive selections for award-winners, "Modern Family" deserves all the credit in the world. I'd like to see over-achievers Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell, and Ty Burrell, who plays Phil, get more recognition and hopefully Bowen has "earned" her last Emmy. The cast for "Modern Family" is undoubtedly stacked, and unlike the late-season burnouts like "The Office" and "Scrubbs", I see "Modern Family" going strong into its later seasons. My only hope is that the actors and actresses who deserve to win supporting awards (Stonestreet excluded) actually end up winning them. Roque is a senior majoring in journalism from Overland Park.

POLITICALFIBER.COM P TYLER HOLMES Staff writer, PoliticalFiber.com Kansas law to limit political donations As a general rule, it's often said that a U.S. House incumbent must raise $10,000 a week between the day they assume office and the next election day, just to be competitive for re-election. These days, the number is likely higher. Senators must do the same, if not more, for six years, which requires elected officials to raise money day in and day out – while Congress is in session. This requires an extensive amount of a candidate's time. More importantly, it has serious ethical implications, because many Congressmen and women ask for money from organizations and people who have pointed opinions on how he or she should be doing his or her job. In an attempt to avert these ethical dilemmas, Kansas enacted a law prohibiting the knowing solicitation or acceptance of funds from anyone other than an individual between January 1 and the final day of the legislative session (Kansas has a citizen legislature that only meets from January through mid-May). This applies to legislators, state office holders such as the governor, candidates for any such office and committees set up by political parties for legislative candidates. In 2000, former Kansas Representative and Senator Kay O'Connor asked the Governmental Ethics Commission to issue an advisory opinion clarifying the extent of the statute. The Commission held that if a letter announce- The key prohibition prevents any such request or receipt of funds from "any registered bobstyl", or a person paid ("employed to a considerable degree") to lobby an elected official or who spends at least $100 to lobby (exclusive of personal travel and subsistence expenses). For the first time last week, however, the statute was applied even further - to the posting of such generic information on Facebook. Republican representative Greg Smith of Overland Park, a Senate candidate, and Republican Becky Niice of Topeka, a house candidate, were fined $100 each for unintentionally breaking the law by posting information about fundraisers before June 1, the last day of this year's legislative session. How? People who "liked" Smith's page and were "friends" of Nioce are lobbyists. Both vowed to be more vigilant in the future, though most would hardly regard their actions as demonstrating a serious lack of attention to detail. It is merely the breaking of new ground. Meanwhile, Kansans can have some confidence that the rule of campaign finance law is being up held - especially in limiting the influence of lobbyists on state politics where far less media and fewer citizens are focusing their attention. "It's the first time we have a social media question," Carol Williams, the commission's executive director, told the Associated Press. "I think with the explosion of social media, this is something we'll see far more." ing a fundraiser after the final day of the legislative session were to be delivered to a lobbyist prior to the conclusion of the session, the law would be violated. For more political news and conversation, visit PoliticalFiber.com Legislators were so worried about the statute that they also requested an opinion as to whether a weekly legislative update could be sent to lobbyists without breaking the law. The Commission ruled that if the update included links to the candidate's website, the linked words could not contain words such as "contribute" or "donate," which overtly ask for money.

On one hand, his dense, thought-provoking verses have earned him a large fan base. On the other hand, his brash comments often cause a social media uprown. After last year's highly disappointing release of "Lasers" — which many believe was a creation of Atlantic records and not Fiasco himself — the artist promises fans that is 100 percent him. Lupe Fiasco releases solid new album. 'Food and Liquor II' Like the original "Food & Liquor" album, "Food & Liquor II" begins with a spoken poem previewing content. Fiasco touches all the issues he's known for, painting a bleak image of today's society. He also links up with longtime collaborator Soundtrak on "Strange Frustration." The production is great in the first half, with the exceptions of "Put 'Em Up" and "Audubon Ballroom." These songs suffer from bad hooks and repetitive instruments, which bring down the album's pace as a whole. After a great beginning, a slow point in the album was inevitable. This starts at the ninth track, "Heart Donor." Production has always been Fiasco's weak point, and it shows in this track. This is one of the most dull, single-layered songs on the album. The next few tracks, "How Dare You," "Battle Scars" and "Brave Heart" suffer from the same mediocritie. Fiasco made a huge sequencing mistake by placing three love songs in a row. All these tracks suffer from annoying hooks and bad production. Even Fiasco's rhymes start to lack in this area; he sounds careless and boring. After such a disappointing series of tracks, the album picks back up at the end. It's similar to the beginning of the album, but some of the tracks like "Cold War" and "Unforgiveable Youth" also suffer from lackluster choruses. However, these don't bring down the tracks too much as Fiasco returns to his more conscious brand of hip hop. The album ends with the brilliant outro "Hood Now." Throughout the album, Fiasco addresses social issues in the world, making it a pretty dark album, but in the outro, he gives the listener a sign of hope. The track mainly serves as a celebration of all the things African Americans have done in America. Overall, "Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album" is a solid album. Even when Fiasco is at his best, he's still better than not. —Ryan Wright FINAL RATING ★★★ 1 Inn- 41 Caviar base 61 Mound stat 42 Type measures DOWN 8 Gracech 44 Fifth and Main, e.g. 1 Lummox 12 Melody 46 Take away Ever-green type 13 Garfield's pal 14 Golf target (from) 3 Mooch 15 Not restricted by convention 50 Dict. information 4 Java 16 By Jai follower 5 Fuss 6 Actress Sorvino 17 Facility 52 Out of jeopardy 7 Big rigs 18 Sprite 19 Out of jeopardy 8 Fast cat 19 Wing part 56 Uninteresting 9 Bellow 21 Strolled 10 As well 24 Perched 11 Existed 25 Yoko of music 16 Wapiti 26 Storm center 20 "Mighty — a Rose" 28 Skewered entree 60 Swiss range 21 Troubles 32 And others (Lat.) 34 Moray, e.g. 36 Vagrant 37 Aligned oneself (with) 39 Cosmetics mogul Mary — CHECK OUT THE ANSWERS http://bit.ly/QVNtYj --- 23 Color 27 "A mouse!" 29 Elsa's story 30 Reed instrument 31 Transvaal trekker 33 With a suspicious eye 35 Fond du — 38 "CSI" evidence 40 Sings in 60-Across? 43 Un-stressed vowel 45 Ump 46 Arp's genre 47 Hebrew month 48 Lofty 49 Implement 53 Swab the deck 54 Corn spike 55 Greek ⁽⁷⁾ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 CRYPTOQUIP ORN PYS IKIA'O DNMEES XMAO OJ PYET IJXA ORMO CDNXNI CNZNDMPN, CYO RN PMZN KA OJ CNND TDNQQYDN.

It's something almost everyone has in their closet. Perhaps when I say this you are fondly thinking of your favorite pair of jeans or maybe a denim jacket you had as a child. Well, wake up from that dream of yours, because nowadays denim is being explored in totally new and improved ways. CALLAN REILLY creilly@kansan.com History graduate student Vaughn Scribner knows exactly what I'm talking about. Scribner doubled his denim for a fashion forward daytime look. Pairing his dark jeans with a lighter shaded chambray shirt on top break up the fabrics wonderfully, so he doesn't look like one big denim blob. While his chambray shirt isn't technically denim, it still gives off the jean-on-jean look. Chambray is e stu- ibner at a great way to trick people into thinking you're wearing a denim piece on top. It's also a lighter and more comfortable fabric, so if you feel denim is too stiff or rigid, this is a great replacement. Scribner described his ensemble as having an "American work wear" appeal. "I really like fashion. I teach a class, and I like to dress up a little bit but still be casual. A more utilitarian shirt at s e st my vage jeans and basic shoes are in-the-moment and classic at the same time," Scribner said. Huge kudos to this intelligently dressed history GTA, as he is spot-on with his styling. Perhaps he should teach a fashion course as well. Boys, take notes. Another fabulous example showing off the hot trend is senior behavioral science student Ayako Sawaguchi. Sawaguchi shows us how she mixes up her denim by pairing an oversized button up with leather leggings and black con verse sneakers. Ahhhh, converse; the timeless sneaker appropriate for every age, gender and style. "Leather leggings are my favorite, and it's a trend that I see celebrities wearing," Sawaguchi said. "My shirt is from England, and I just put them together because my morning practicum doesn't allow me to wear clothing." A practical and fashionable student, that more could a professor possibly ask for? FILM Applying denim pieces with contrasting textures is an absolute must right now. Pair denim with Right now, I can admire leather, tweed, corduroy, or metallic pieces to spice up outfits in a jiff. Every body type can wear this trend, and closets should be filled with a range of textures for the upcoming seasons. Edited by Sarah McCabe MILKHOUSE FOUND FOOTAGE FESTIVAL 1. FBI WAR 11.

This year, the Found Footage Festival is touring nationally and will be on the road until April. Old VHS tapes resurrected LEMILY BROWN ebrown@kansan.com Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett find old VHS tapes in thrift stores, Salvation Armies and garage sales. They've found them in estate sales, library liquidations and church rummage sales. Prueher even found a bag of them left in a trashcan. Prueher, a former researcher at the Late Show with David Letterman and Pickett, a writer and director, use these videos for their Found Footage Festival, a show they present across the country, showcasing their collection of random VHS tapes. The 2012 Found Footage Festival in Lawrence will be on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the Granada Tickets will be $10 and are available at the door. Prueher said the idea for the Found Footage Festival came out of boredom in a small town. "We started looking at thrift stores for items that would make us laugh," he said. "We found a lot of VHS tapes that people had gotten rid of, and we couldn't believe how ridiculous they were. We started inviting friends over to watch them. 15 years later, we had enough videos in our collection — probably 1,200 at that time — to make it into a show. We took it out of our living room and put it into a theater. To our surprise, people really liked it." Pickett said the weirdest video in the upcoming show is of a man named Frank Pacholski. The 2012 show will feature exercise videos like "The Sexy Treadmill Workout," and clips from a training video in 1986 on how to care for a pet ferret. "He made two public access videos in Los Angeles in 1999 where he dances in Speedoed for a roomful of confused elderly people," he said. "Then things get even weird when he starts pouring food all over himself. It's like watching an awful, gag-inducing dream." "People can expect to see a perfect blend of weird, gross, hilarious and awful that they really can't see anywhere else," he said. "But, honestly, if there's one reason to come, it's to see a man dancing in speedos for elderly people." Pickett said students should check out the show because none of the videos can be found on the internet. Freshman Lesley Taylor from Wichita is planning on going to the Found Footage Festival. She said she wanted to go because it sounded like a unique idea, and she's never heard of anything like it before. SUDOKU "I am expecting to see really interesting and exciting footage," she said. "I don't really know what to expect, but I know it's going to be fun."

They are courageous working stiffs, brothers joined at the badge, tasked with patrolling the fetid streets of South Central, where nearly every scene in the film was shot. The majority of "End of Watch" unfolds through the lens of Brian's camera, which he's using to document life on the beat for a film class. Shaky-cam has been done to death in the prevailing years since the "Bourne" trilogy, but this film actually benefits from its kinetic cinematography, which allows for greater intimacy with the characters and an immersive quality that even the best 3D can't match. I'm still in favor of this technique when it isn't being used to conceal poorly staged action or earn a PG-13 rating. The plot kicks in after Brian and Mike take down a pair of "cowboys" brandishing stacks of cash and gold-plated Kalashnikovs. Their investigation ties back to a Mexican drug cartel looking to move their human trafficking ring north of the border. Unwilling to risk their other operations, the drug lords put out a bounty on Brian and Mike, leading to a climactic nighttime shootout between our boys and a gangland marauder appropriately named Big Evil (Maurice Compte). "End of Watch" benefits mightly from its principal cast. Gyllenhaal and Peña have a tremendous natural rapport together, one Ayer insisted they hone in the midst of a grueling five-month training regimen. Gyllenhaal continues to impress as one of the few actors who can provide a dramatic character with a relatable sense of humor. The chirpy Anna Kendrick makes the most of her scenes as Brian's fiancé Janet, while newcomer Diamonique gives an authentically unhinged performance as the freakest member of Big Evil's drive-by crew. In the end though, the film ultimately belongs to the grossly underrated Peña, who first came to my attention in Paul Haggis's "Crash" back in 2005. Here's an actor equally at home in comedy and drama, the rare performer who elevates nearly every project he's involved with. His genial, selfless performance as Mike is the heart and soul of "End of Watch." Here's hoping this starring role is the first of many. ★★★ FINAL RATING - Edited by Sarah McCabe MOVIES "The Master" serves two brilliant performances LANDON MCDONALD /mcdonald@kansan.com Despite having only six feature films under his belt, Paul Thomas Anderson has earned his seat at the table of cinema's modern masters. Like Tarantino and the Coen Brothers, Anderson's best films strike a transcendent cord that lies between form and content, where dazzling technical artistry harmonizes with elemental storytelling and fiery, towering performances. His masterpiece "There Will Be Blood" remains a black-hearted testament to the toxic pitfalls of faith and ambition. His latest, appropriately titled "The Master," was rumored to be an allegorical takedown of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, a rumor that perhaps contributed to the two-year gap between the film's announcement and its production. The final result is a slyer, subtler beast than one might imagine: an abstract portrait of platonic love between two profoundly different men. The film opens at the close of World War II, with Navy man Freddy Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) emptying fuel out of a torpedo to concoct another batch of his powerful rotgut liquor. An emotionally disturbed alcoholic whose bundled ferocity predates the war, Freddy lurches through peaceetime as a drifter until providence deposits him aboard a yacht captained by Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Dodd is the charismatic founder of a movement known as the Cause, which teaches that all humans carry psychic residue from trauma sustained during past lives. He quickly identifies Freddy as a fellow "hopelessly inquisitive man" and, after sampling some of his homemade hooch, invites him to join his band of traveling cultists. Freddy, drawn in by the polish of Dodd's silver tongue, soon becomes one of the Cause's most ardent followers, acting as an attack dog against its many critics. His rabid devotion soon draws the哭 of Dodd's wife Peggy (Amy Adams), who fears the angry young man and his ability to rouse hen husband's wild side. Even with its engulfing visuals and hauntingly discordant Jonny Greenwood score, "The Master" would be an empty spectacle if not for the extraordinary power of its lead performances. Phoenix's intensity in the role of Freddy is almost frightening, his body contorted and shriveled into a limping, leering huddle of nerves. Hoffman as Dodd is Freddy's polar opposite, all airtight bluster and mannered grandiosity, at least until he confronts one of the Cause's dissenters head-on and the cracks begin to show. Adams, checking her "Enchanted" cuteness at the door, turns in her finest performance as the cold-blooded Peggy, who may be the guiding light behind the Cause. An early scene where Dodd "processes" Freddy with a series of increasingly probing questions is absolutely spellbinding, like watching two finely tuned instruments duel in unison. Oscar nominations are a certainty at this point, yet I have a feeling the film will endure long after the bustle of awards season. Movie lovers will be bowing to this "Master" for years to come. FINAL RATING ★★★★ Edited by Sarah McCabe A ASSOCIATED PRESS This film image released by The Weinstein Company shows Amy Adams, left, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, center, in a scene from "The Master." The film was presented at the 37th Toronto International Film festival. MOVIES ALEX LAMB "Dredd 3D" a smash despite low expectations alamb@kansan.com As evidenced by its weak box office opening, "Dredd 3D" isn't the bloody, sci-fi action B-movie we need right now. But it's exactly the one we deserve. Bullets shred through bodies and explode out the other side, gore flies everywhere in pristine 3D, and all is seen through a hyper-saturated filter in jaw-dropping slow motion. The villain decimates an entire housing block and its residents using miniguns in an attempt to kill the hero. People being thrown off a building and falling 200 stories to their deaths has a euphoric, twisted sense of artistry to it. Visually stunning action sequences like these are "Dredds" main draw, but it also delivers solid acting, memorable characters, a captivating vision of a dystopian future world and a simple yet compelling story. Hell, there're even a layer of satire and deadpan wit in there, as well as a rocking soundtrack. Not too shabby for a blockbuster most viewers had written off before its release. Based on one of Britain's longest running comic strips, the titular character (Karl Urban) of "Dredd" is one of Mega-City One's top Judges – a law enforcer with the jurisdiction of judge, jury and executioner in a land overridden with crime. On this day he's evaluating if the psychic rookie Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) has what it takes to become a Judge, but a routine call to the enormous, gang-controlled residence building Peach Trees quickly traps them in hostile territory with Urban never takes his Judge mask off, obscuring his face from the nose up for the film's entirety. This allows him to maintain his powerful, badass mystique throughout, delivering all his lines with the same gravelly edge and making the one-liners stick all the more.

While she proves a strong, tough heroine over time, Headey's Ma-Ma is delightfully wicked as the opposition, exhibiting a malicious control over her subjects. The grotesque scar across her face does not hurt either. It's a rare treat when an R-rated, big, dumb and loud action flick executes all its elements with such success. So for any action lover, justice has been served. FINAL RATING ★★★☆ - Edited by Sarah McCabe THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE 1B S sports THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2012 THURSDAY, SEPT Road trip for soccer team PAGE 7B McCabe Jayhawks take down Cyclones PAGE 3B COMMENTARY Trying for a Sunflower turnaround BYE WEEK BREAKDOWN By Kory Carpenter kcarpenter@kansan.com Shortly after Charlie Weis was hired last December, he strolled onto the court at Allen Fieldhouse and asked the packed house a question: Edited by Stéphane Roque WHERE DO WE GO NOW? "We're 2-10," Weis said. "The other school in this state is 10-2. Why?" Figuring out the why is easy. Doing something about it is the hard part, as Weis is about to find out. "My job now that I've been hired here is to not just figure out why." Weis told the Allen Field-house crowd that cold afternoon in December. "But do something about it." It was obvious that Weis had orders that day not to mention "the school in Columbia" as Mizzou was getting acquainted with the SEC at the time and Kansas was collectively shunning the Tigers, refusing to schedule them in any sport (for the time being). It doesn't have to be ugly next weekend, though. Weis could realize his starting quarterback isn't very good and learn to trust his running game for a full four quarters. A Kansas kicker could find a map to between the uprights. Snyder, for the first time in his career, could feel sorry for the Jayhawks as he starts the third quarter up four touchdowns and decide to not run up the score. KU Don't expect any of those to happen, however. If Snyder smells blood, the scoreboard operator better be ready. And if losing to Rice and Northern Illinois while Snyder is knocking off the likes of Oklahoma on the road doesn't constitute "smelling blood," I don't know what does. And besides that, it seemed like a fair question from an East Coast guy who hadn't spent much time around here. Kansas State has no advantage over Kansas in facilities, location or history. It recruits the same in-state kids and deals with the same issues as Kansas; namely a lack of high school talent in the state and competing with another BCS conference school in a state not equipped to support two BCS conference schools He also has no qualms about kicking his in-state rival when its down, as Weis is sure to see next Saturday afternoon. In Mark Mangino's first season at Kansas in 2002, Snyder embarrassed him to the tune of 64-0. Turner Gill received the same welcoming gift two years ago, losing in Lawrence 59-7. In Snyder's last 10 victories over Kansas dating back to 1998, the average score has been 44-8. Weis probably knew the real answer to his question, though. Kansas State was 10-2 because they found the perfect fit at head coach over two decades ago in Bill Snyder, a brilliant football mind who found a place he loved and never had any intentions of testing his coaching merit at a higher level. TARA BRYANT/KANSAN Junior linebacker Hildon Tharp attempts to tackle a Rice player on Sep. 8, at Memorial Stadium. Despite Tharp's nine tackles, the Jayhawks lost to the Owls 25-24 BLAKE SCHUSTER hschuster@kansan.com Even with all the bravado Kansas showed in hiring big names to fix the football program, the Jayhawks have won just one game in four tries this season. As Charlie Weis & Co. enter a bye week, there are more questions than answers and just as much — if not more — disappointment in Jayhawks football than there was in the Turner Gill era. about as much as with his quarterback — 155 rushes on 130 pass attempts — yet with Crist not able to connect on his passes the offense has had little balance. touchdowns) was temporary because it disappeared in the fourth quarter when the Jayhawks were desperately trying to put points on the board. Dayne Crist has been anything but golden. The fifth year transfer has completed just 48 percent of his passes while throwing for only two touchdowns on four interceptions. Crist's numbers would look much worse if it wasn't for a consistent run game that has scored seven of the Jayhawks' 10 touchdowns this season. Weis has used his backfield In trying out a less-employed scheme, Weis found temporary success with the wildcat formation numerous times against Northern Illinois last Saturday with wide receiver Christian Matthews running the offense. "Wildcat is effective until they start stretching to the perimeter." Weis said. "Once they start stretching to the perimeter then you go to something else. You don't go away from it because you don't think it's going to keep working." unbalanced offense, which — as it had done all season — failed to sustain successful drives. It forced Kansas back into its With an extra week off, it's not exactly back to the drawing board for the Kansas coaches, but it's no secret that what was expected to vindicate the futile Jayhawks has yet to do so. SWIMMING —Edited by Stéphane Roque Captains ready for final season in pool CHRISTOPHER SCHAEDER cschaeder@kansan.com CLEVELAND For swimming and diving captains Alysia Rudman, Brooke Brull and Rebecca Swank, their swimming careers began at a young age during the summer time. Rudman, a senior from Baldwin City, began her swimming at the age of eight with the Lawrence Aquahawks. Brull, a senior from Lake Quivira, and Rebecca Swank, a senior from Wichita, began swimming at the ages of five and eight respectively at their country clubs during the summers. Rebecca Swank, Brooke Brull and Alyssa Rudman will be leading the Kansas swimming and dive team this year. Once swimming became a passion, the three quit other sports to pursue swimming full time. "I danced and did a flag football league during the summer," Rudman said. "But when I was nine or 10, I started doing swimming full time." Brull also competed in several sports before deciding on swimming. "I did basketball and dancing growing up, but eventually I had to just stop them because swimming takes so much practicing to get good at it," Brull said. Swank played soccer and softball when she was younger but realized swimming was her sport when she prepared for her secondary education. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Although each of the captains had opportunities to visit and swim at other schools, the combination of the coaching staff, the team and the proximity to home kept the girls from leaving their home state. "I took a trip to Utah, South Carolina, Iowa, KU and San Diego State, and I actually liked different things at every school, so it was a tough decision for me, but in the end, I really like the team atmosphere here," Brull said. For Rudman, it had to do with her long-time relationship with head coach Clark Campbell and assistant coach Jen Fox. "I've known Clark and Jen since I was about eighteen." Rudman said, "so I already knew who they were and that they were good people." Swank used similar reasoning for picking Kansas as a place to spend her college career. "I picked KU because of the coaching staff and the girls on the team, who I got to know really well, which made me really like the program at KU when I was looking at other schools," Swank said. After joining the swimming and diving team at Kansas, each of the captains have succeeded in different events. Brull currently swims freestyle, backstroke and individual medley; Rudman swims backstroke; and Swank swims distance free. Despite competing in different events, the captains have set similar goals for themselves and the team: to improve on their times and more importantly to compete with the top teams in the Big 12 Conference. "We have really good freshmen coming in, so I know we will be "Texas is really good,but our goal this year is to get at least second place in the conference," Rudman said. better than last year," Brull said. "And now that Texas A&M and Missouri are out of our conference, we want to get second in the conference." Edited by Ryan McCarthy PAGE 2B THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN QUOTE OF THE DAY "There was never any doubt, we knew that last year was somewhat of a fluke." — Atlanta Braves third baseman, Chipper Jones (MLB.com) FACT OF THE DAY The Braves have now won 22 consecutive games that Kris Medlen has started going back to 2010. - CBSSports.com 2015年4月8日 TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Chipper Jones is third all-time with 468 home runs as a switch hitter. Who are the top 2 leaders all-time with switch hit home runs? A: Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504) — ESPN.com THE MORNING BREW Braves poised to make deep postseason run On Tuesday the Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off home run to help propel the Braves to the playoffs with a 4-3 victory over the Miami Marlins. This year's team, which holds a current record of 89-65, seems to be much more focused than the 2011 team that collapsed and lost 18 of its last 26 games and was eliminated from playoff contention. The Braves have been overshadowed by the Washington Nationals for the majority of the season in the NL East, and rightfully so with the remarkable season they are having, but when the playoffs arrive I wouldn't sleep on this year's Braves squad too much, and here are some reasons why: By Drew Harms dharms@kansan.com ELITE STARTING PITCHING The Braves feature some of the best pitchers in baseball. Their two best starters include Tim Hudson, who has holds a 16-6 record with a 3.61 ERA, and Kris Medlen, who has been virtually unhittable since moving into the starting rotation in late July. Medlen missed practically all of the 2011 season because of Tommy John surgery and started this year in the bullpen. Once Medlen felt comfortable he moved into the starting rotation, where he is now dominating. In his last 10 starts, Medlen is 8-0 with a 0.76 ERA. The Braves strategy of letting Medlen get up to full strength before having him start was very clever. This is the opposite role that the Nationals took with Stephen Strasburg, who is now shut down in the post-season after reaching the maximum 160 innings that Nationals Manager Davey Johnson set. BEST BULLPEN IN MLB The Braves have the best trio of bullpen pitchers in the majors. They include Jonny Venters and Eric O'Flaherty, who are both set-up pitches (whose job is to come in after the starting pitcher, usually in the 7th or 8th innning) and the league's best closer in Craig Kimbrel. A few of Kimbrel's jaw-dropping numbers include the following: 39 saves with a 1.06 ERA, hitters have a miserable .125 average against him, and he has struck out 49 percent of the batters he's faced this year. Talk about dominance. If you're an opposing team trailing going into the 9th Inning, good luck coming back with Kimbrel on the mound. THE YOUNG GUNS ARE MATURING THE YOUNG GUNS ARE MATURING The Braves two elite 23-year-olds, Freeman and right fielder Jayson Heyward have been on fire since the all-star break. They have both improved at the plate partially with their power numbers. Freeman has hit 22 home runs and 93 RBIs, and Heyward has hit 27 home runs with 79 RBIs. Heyward has improved drastically this season at the plate and in the field to make up for his disappointing season last year. If the Braves want to make a deep postseason run they can't just rely on the pitching and the veteran players to step up; these two need to contribute big-time. THE BOURN IDENTITY the Braves' leadoff hitter and center fielder Michael Bourn needs to score runs. It's that plain and simple, if Bourn can get on base by bunting, taking a walk or getting a base hit, the Braves will be in a favorable position for the game. Bourn's speed is one of the Braves' greatest strengths, and when he gets on base he can steal bases and score, as evidenced by his 39 stolen bases so far this year. If Bourn is able to score to start the game, the Braves have a great chance to win, especially because of their dominate pitching. According to ESPN.com, the Braves are 56-15 this season when Bourn scores at least one run in a game. KU CONTRIBUTIONS FROM UGGLA AND MCCANN There's no debating that Dan Uggla, the Braves' second baseman, has been struggling all year at the plate. Uggla has a shameful .216 battering average, and has been benched some in the second half of the season because of his struggles. There is the threat, though, that one swing by Uggla can shift the momentum of a game because of his power. Uggla has 19 home runs and 74 RBIs, and if he is able to get hot late the Braves are in good position. The Braves' catcher, Brain McCann, who has battled a hamstring injury and struggled at the plate all year, is now healthy and ready to contribute. McCann has been an All-Star the last six years and feels that he has to step up his game to the level it used to be. If these two can stay healthy and produce, it will give the Braves the depth they need to make a postseason run. — Edited by Stéphane Roque This week in athletics Thursday No events scheduled Friday Women's Soccer Women's Swimming Intrasquam 4 p.m. Lawrence DAYTON Women's Soccer Baylor 7 p.m. Waco, Texas Saturday Women's Rowing Head of the Oklahoma All Day Oklahoma City, Okla.

Jayhawks outlast ranked Iowa State at home rip.com For the second straight week, the Kansas volleyball team refused to wilt when pushed to five sets on its home court. GEOFFREY CALVERT gcalvert@kansan.com The Layhawks jumped out to a 9-1 lead in the decisive fifth set against No. 19 Iowa State, and after the Cyclones closed the margin to 13-9, senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree put Kansas on the cusp of victory with a powerful kill. "At 13-9, when it got interesting, Tolefree took a huge swing for us," coach Ray Bechard said. "She only had five kills but that might have been the biggest of the match." An error by Iowa State on the next point gave Kansas the set 15-9. The Jayhawks won first two sets against Iowa State, but then made just enough errors to let the Cyclones win three and four by identical 25-23 scores. Motivated after losing twice to Iowa State last year, the Jayhawks won the first set against the Cyclones 25-19. The Jayhawks took a 16-11 lead in the second set, but a 4-0 Iowa State run made it 16-15, and it looked like the match might be knotted at one at intermission. An 8-0 run by Kansas quickly squashed all of Iowa State's momentum, and Kansas won the second set 25-16. Kansas won 62 percent of the points when Iowa State served, while keeping Iowa State to 52 percent. Junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael said this helped the Jayhawks go on runs while not letting the Cyclones get on a big run of their own. "We always talk about sideout and how sideout is the key to everything that we're doing," Carmichael said. "And so for us to even be up that much percent on them is great. It shows that your sideout can win you a game." The match turned in the third set, when Iowa State used a .302 hitting percentage to take a back and forth set that featured nine ties and six lead changes. In the fourth set, the Cyclones led 22-20 when sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton notched one of her 14 kills to bring the deficit to one. Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc had an opportunity to tie the set on the next play, but her attack into space went wide. It was all the cushion Iowa State needed that late in the set, and they held on for a 25-23 fourth set victory. "I don't think it was really them, I think it was really us not executing when we needed to execute," freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery said. "They kept playing their game, but we weren't playing our game in that set." Last week at home against Creighton, the Jayhawks led 2-0 before Creighton evened the match at two. The Jayhawks won the fifth set against Creighton, and they were not going to let another 2-0 lead at home go to waste. Red Lyon Tavern Behind consistent serving from junior libero Brianne Riley, the Jayhawks went on an 8-0 run in the fifth set to grab a 9-1 lead. Bechard said the team got off to a fast start in the set because they slowed down and played at their own pace, instead of trying to match Iowa State's fast-paced style. "They've had the bad taste in their mouth twice this year, with Arkansas and Notre Dame," Bechard said. "And they've invested a lot and when you invest a lot it hurts a little bit more when it doesn't work out." Kansas still led 13-6 when Iowa State won three straight points to close the margin to 13-9. Instead of folding against a ranked opponent, the Jayhawks went to their senior leader, Tolefew, whose emphatic kill gave the Jayhawks an opportunity for a match point, which they won on the next point. Carmichael had 13 kills for Kansas, and Dockery, Jarmoc and McClinton notched 14. Carmichael said Kansas knew Iowa State was a physical team and so the Jayhawks' offense would have to be extra aggressive on their attacks. "We knew our job, we knew we had to get up and take swings," Carmichael said. "Just take rips high, hard and deep, and that's what we did." The Jayhawks do not play again until Oct. 3 when they visit West Virginia.

PAGE 48 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2012 FOOTBALL THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Jayhawks trying to sort out first four games KANIAS 12 YEMAYS 2 CHELSEY BOUTAN/KANSAN Junior wide receiver Christian Matthews tries to avoid getting tackled by his opponent during Saturday's game against Northern Illinois in DeKalb, Ill. The Jayhawks lost 23-30. 1) Turnovers. Raise your hand if you called Kansas having the second-most takeaways in the nation after four weeks. Defensive coordinator Dave Campo might not get talked about as much as Charlie Weis, but he should. Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren called Campo the best secondary coach in pro and college football — he may not be wrong. The drastic change in the Jahawks' defense has given Kansas a chance to win every game it played with their 13 takeaways playing a major part. BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com BIGGEST SURPRISES: 2) Andrew Turzilli. It's not easy for a 6-3, 190 pound receiver to hide on a depth chart, but through the first two weeks of the season Andrew Turzilli managed to do so. Turzilli first snuck into action against TCU and racked up 100 yards on three catches. While he only gained 45 yards against Northern Illinois, Turzilli was targeted nine times, and with his height advantage he has become a big play threat. There is no doubt he will be a big part of the passing game going forward. Paul Rhoads' Cyclones are sharing the cellar of the Big 12 offensive rankings with the Jayhawks, meaning their matchup in Lawrence November 17 might be the best chance Kansas has to win another game. Although, at that point in the season there may not be too many fans at Memorial Stadium to witness it. WHAT WE LEARNED: GAME TO KEEP AN EYE ON: IOWA STATE Kansas is incapable of passing the ball. Charlie Weis has been protecting his quarterback by placing the blame on inadequate receivers, but whatever the reason, the lajahawks can't seem to connect through the air. Weis has circumvented this by trying out the Wildcat formation while he tests out new receivers but there have been little positive results. BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENTS: Will Kansas win another game? Looking at the rest of the schedule it's become a serious concern. The Jayhawks will face five ranked teams in the second half of the season, and the unranked teams — Iowa State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State — are averaging 47 points a game. Kansas has not scored more than 31 points this season, and it came in the season opener against South Dakota State. 1) Dayne Crist has some Kansas fans wondering if there are any better options at quarterback. This comes as a Crist WHAT WE'RE STILL WONDERING: shock to just about everyone except Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, who did have a better option and benched Crist at halftime last year in the Fighting Irish season opener. Crist was as big of a name PETER BROOKS as Charlie Weis heading into a new era of Kansas football, yet he remains the only quarterback in the Big 12 who has completed less than 60 percent of his passes this season. Crist has often looked flustered in the pocket and nervous under pressure — and that's after facing just one Big 12 defense. ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN 2) Finishing Games. Twice the Jayhawks held double-digit leads late in games, and in both match-ups Kansas failed to come away with a victory. When Kansas lost to Rice many — including the players and coaches — figured it would be a teaching point on playing hard until the final whistle. After giving up a 10-point lead to Northern Illinois in the fourth quarter it's clear nothing was learned from the costly mistakes against Rice. DOWN THE ROAD. If Kansas struggled with its opponents in non-conference play, it will be in big trouble facing Big 12 teams the rest of the season. Playing at Oklahoma and West Virginia will be the toughest tests, but with Texas and Oklahoma State slated to visit Lawrence, the home schedule is no cinch either. BY THE NUMBERS: 10 370 - Average number of yards gained per game 25 - Kansas third down conversion percentage 45050 - Average attendance at Kansas home games 36 - Points Kansas has allowed in the fourth quarter Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson keeps running toward the end zone after his opponent from South Dakota State caught ahold of his shirt during the Sept. 1 game at Memorial Stadium, where the Jayhawks won 31-17. Patterson had 44 receiving yards during the game. 798 - Kansas total rushing yards 1 - Kansas kickoff touchbacks JOHN HARVEY McDougald DEFENSIVE MVP: BRADLEY MCDOUGALD [Name] McDougald's two interceptions, two forced fumbles, three pass deflections and team leading 34 tackles has even invaluable to the Jayhaws. His stat line is proof that sometimes all you need is the right coaching. McDougall has already matched his interception and sack totals from last season and at this rate will hit triple digits in tackles by the end of the season. Pierson OFFENSIVE MVP: TONY PIERSON Pierson has been the most electrifying player on the field for the Jayhawks. Charlie Weis has gotten more creative with this speedy back by giving him wheel routes and screen passes. In return, Pierson has given Weis 444 total yards and two touchdowns. Pierson has become a pro at getting past his first defender and needs little room to break into full speed. 27 21 Rice 15 Senior wide receiver D.J. Beshears narrowly misses a pass for a touchdown against Rice at Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawks lost to the Owls 24-25.

With a minuscule passing game it's going to take a hefty performance from the running backs to keep the Jayhawks competitive the rest of the way. Tony Pierson has proven himself capable of 15-plus rushes per game, and with the return of James Sims they should be able to put up a respectable number of points — but will it be enough to win games? 1401 19th STREET, DENVER, CO 80202 (LOCATED 1 BLOCK FROM COORS FIELD) DSN is currently approved to train Veterans who qualify for VA Benefits!

It's clear Crist can't put together an offense on his own and having an undersized receiving corps doesn't help the cause. Andrew Turzilli has emerged as a top wide out because of his tall build, but the more often he is targeted the sooner he'll get double-teamed. 1. The easiest flaw to point out is the Kansas offense. No one expected it to be the best in the Big 12, but Jayhawks fans were hoping for better than last place. Former Kansas quarterback Jordan Webb completed just over 60 percent of his passes and Charlie Weis decided to cut him, while Dayne Crist has broken 50 percent passing just once this season.

TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN 10 17 Senior quarterback Dayne Crist avoids a sack by TCU defender Sam Carter during the match against TCU. Crist was sacked 3 times with 303 passing yards. Kansas was defeated by TCU 6-20. Where we stand JAYHAWKS SOUND OFF "The whole time we've been here we've been talking about becoming a tougher team. We have to be tougher and one way you get tougher is you keep dialing up those runs and not be afraid to keep calling them." — Charlie Weis on the run game after defeating South Dakota State "People are going to know they played us when we play. How good we are is going to depend on how quick we can come together as a team." - Defensive coordinator Dave Campo on his goals for the defense going into training camp "I didn't make enough plays and at the end of the day, that's the most valued trait in a quarterback, and it is to make enough plays to win and we did not do that today" — Dayne Crist after losing to Rice "If there is reason to replace the first guy with the second guy you do it, it doesn't make a difference what position they play. But there is a big separation between the first guy and the second guy." — Charlie Weis on the possibility of benching Dayne Crist after losing to Northern Illinois TCU 24 Senior safety Bradley McDougald forces a fumble during the match against TCU. Kansas was defeated by TCU 6-20. JACKRABBITS Kansas 31, South Dakota State 17 TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN RECAPS: The Jayhawks took a 24-7 lead into the fourth quarter powered by the performances of running backs Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox. The duo combined to rush for 245 and three touchdowns. The Kansas defense intercepted SDSU quarterback Austin Sumner four times making up for a 99-yard touchdown run it allowed in the first quarter. RICE SWICE Rice 25. Kansas 24 After going up 24 to 16 in the third quarter the Jayhaws began relenting and allowed Rice an opportunity to come back and steal a win. Kansas ran only six plays in the fourth quarter, the last of which was a Dayne Crist interception. Crist's error set up Rice for a 45-yard game winning field goal as time expired. TCU WARREN FRAMES The Jayhawks defense had another big game gobbling up four TCU turnovers. The offense, however, could not sustain long enough drives to put points on the board. Kansas could only muster two Ron Doherty field goals in the first half before getting shut out the last two quarters. BIG 12 FOOTBALL NU HUSKERS NIU 30, Kansas 23 Kansas built a 10-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter, but for the second time eased up too soon, allowing Northern Illinois to score 17 points in the last 14:33 of the game. Tyler Patmon had an interception returned for a touchdown to give Kansas its 13th takeaway of the season, which ranks second in the nation. Kansas State to use bye week as Sunflower Showdown preparation ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN, Kan. — If any situation would breed complacency in an otherwise disciplined team, this might be it. Now, the Wildcats get a week off to rest and reflect on the victory — if they choose. No. 7 Kansas State is coming off a 24-19 victory over then-No. 6 Oklahoma on Saturday, winning in Norman for the first time since 1997. It was just the second time coach Bain Snyder had triumphed over his former pupil, Bob Stoops, and represented a rare home loss for the Sooners. Doesn't sound like that's the case. . The Wildcats (4-0) met on Monday, but only planned to practice Tuesday through Thursday, before spending Friday in meetings. There will be a workout Saturday morning, and then Kansas State will turn its attention to the annual Sunflower Showdown against Kansas. "We remember what 5-7 felt like, and it's not a good feeling," said Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein said. "How vivid that memory is helps from the standpoint of realizing where we've come from and what it takes to have come where we are now and be able to continue that." The two schools have met three times since Snyder's return from retirement in 2009, with the Wildcats winning all three by a combined 135-38. So, it makes sense that the bye week would present a time to perhaps take a short, mental vacation. Not for Snyder, and certainly not for the Wildcats. "The motivation has to be to get better, become a better football team, become a better player," Snyder said. "Maybe there are other motivating aspects for each individual, you'd have to ask them, but I'd like primarily for it to be a better football team." Snyder said the bye week will spent on every aspect imaginable; correcting shortcomings, preparing for the layhawks, maybe even squeezing in some film session — at least for the coaching staff — of teams still to come. "There's a great deal of pressure on maintaining any success that you have," linebacker Arthur Brown said. "Coach Snyder, being as he is, he's definitely going to keep our minds where they need to be in order for us to not to stay settled within a moment but to continue to just improve." Even as Snyder arrived for his 30-minute weekly press conference on Tuesday, steaming cup of coffee in hand, he paused to ask a staffer for play-by-plays from Kansas' games this year. One thing that's clear is Kansas State won't overlook Kansas, which is also off this week. The Jayhawks have changed dramatically from last season, after all. Turner Gill has been fired as the coach, former Notre Dame coach and longtime NFL assistant Charlie Weis has taken over, and an overturned roster has resulted in ex-Fighting Irish quarterback Dayne Crist running the show. Kansas still has just one win, but that's not a reason for Kansas State to take a break. "The positive thing is we need time to continue the improvement, but by the same token, when you come off something very good, you like the momentum you have," Snyder said. "We've responded in a variety of different ways to open weeks." Despite the extra week before that game, the process of preparation for Kansas State remains steady. Players get a few extra days away to rest, heal and improve different areas, and the coaches can hit the recruiting trail over the weekend, but mostly Snyder keeps the schedule the same. "Consistency," Klein said. "He lives it. He doesn't just preach it." Perhaps that's one of the reasons for all of the success — the top 10 national ranking, the Heisman Trophy candidacy of Klein, the publicity the Wildcats are receiving nationally. "It was a very positive thing, but at the same time, it is just another step." Klein said of the win over the Sooners.

Now, the two undefeated teams will put its streaks on the line as West Virginia plays its first conference game in the Big 12. West Virginia has a cohesive offense led by senior quarterback Geno Smith. Smith's success has come from senior wide receiver Tavon Austin and junior wide reciever Stedman Bailey. Each receiver has more than 20 catches, more than 300 receiving yards and five touchdowns in three games. It is no secret that coach Dana Holgorsen will continue to use his passing game as a weapon against Baylor. Junior linebacker Ahmad Dixon and sophomore linebacker Bryce Hager have played well this season, but will be tested by the Mountainers. If Baylor wants any shot of winning, senior quarterback Nick Florence will be the key for the Bears' offense. Like Smith, Florence has a reliable receiving core. He has thrown two or more touchdown passes to at least four different players in three games. But can that carry over in Big 12 play? West Virginia's offense will be too much for Baylor to handle. By the time this game is over, the debate for Smith winning the Heisman Trophy can only grow. West Virginia wins, 45-28 Oklahoma State 0 12 TEXAS 3-0 (0-0) AT OKLA- HOMA STATE 2-1 (0-0) Oklahoma State is coming into the game leading the nation in scoring offense. It has scored 38 or more points in each of its three games. But with the defense Texas has, Oklahoma State will have to work hard to be able to score a lot of points. Texas coach Mack Brown is pleased with what he is seeing from sophomore cornerback Quandre Diggs, who leads the conference with three interceptions. Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy must pick his poison with the Longhorns' defense. With freshman quarterback Wes Lunt's knee injury, freshman quarterback J.W. Walsh may start. If the passing game does not work, Gundy may try running with junior Joseph Randle, junior Jeremy Smith and sophomore Desmond Roland, all who have four touchdowns on the ground. However, the Cowboys will have a hard time staying up to speed with the Longhorns. Texas has averaged almost 50 points per game on the year and Brown wants the team to keep that up in conference play. Sophomore quarterback David Ash is one of only two quarterbacks in the conference who have been free of throwing interceptions this year. With viable options everywhere on the field for Ash, Texas will use its rushing and passing attack. While Oklahoma State's offense has been hot, it will be time for Texas to put an end to its run. Texas wins. 38-17 TCU HUMAN FOOD SMU Texas Christian's defense has given up 4.3 points per game this season. Its defense should have no problem stopping Southern Methodist, who have ran into issues offensively this season. Junior quarterback Garrett Gilbert has 16 touchdowns and 27 interceptions in his career. This year, Gilbert has thrown for three touchdowns and four interceptions. TCU coach Gary Patterson will expect a lot out of freshman defensive end Devonte Fields, who has three sacks and one forced fumble this year. If Fields continues to apply pressure, that will give TCU junior defensive back Jason Verrett and Elisha Olabode and senior defensive back Kenny Cain a shot at adding to their takeaway total of seven. 15 TEXAS CHRISTIAN 3-0 (1-0) AT SOUTHERN METHODIST 1-2 (0-0) Junior quarterback Casey Pachall has moved the football well this season in the three games the Horned Frogs have played. He and his offense won't have any problems putting points on the scoreboard against the Mustangs. T STATE Texas Christian wins, 38-3 TEXAS TECH 3-0 (O-0) AT IOWA STATE 3-0 (O-0) Iowa State was placed eighth in A CONVERSATION WITH EULA BISS Author of the KU Common Book the Big 12 preseason polls while Texas Tech started ninth. It was expected that the two programs would remain in the bottom tier of the conference. However, Both schools have received consideration to be in the Top 25 after 3-0 starts. Texas Tech's pass catchers have played at a high level and want to pursue a strong passing game against Iowa State's defense. Sophomore tight end Jace Amaro snagged three touchdown receptions in the last two games. Wide receivers Darrin Moore, a senior and Eric Warda, junior, have also pulled in three touchdown catches to help the Red Raiders start 3-0. The team is sixth in points scored and sixth in points allowed, forcing Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads to come up with a defensive plan to slow down senior quarterback Seth Doege. Iowa State is not far behind Texas Tech in points allowed as it has given up 10.7 points per game, ranking it ninth in the nation. But the Cyclones will only be as good as senior quarterback Steele Jantz. Jantz has been inconsistent on the season with six touchdown passes and four interceptions. If turnovers become an issue for Iowa State, Texas Tech can remain undefeated by taking one on the road to open up its conference schedule.

Despite getting hounded by corners and shot attempts in the final minutes of the game, the Kansas defense held strong and prevailed to ensure a Jayhawk victory against Oklahoma State last Friday. The defensive unit for Kansas stood firm and focused for many matches this season and hopes to continue throughout 2012. KANSAS 22 Strengthen the defending side of the pitch was a goal for Kansas coming into this season. Last year the Jayhawks gave up 46 goals on 334 shot attempts. Kansas only had one shutout on the season. The team knew it gave up too many chances and wanted to shut that down this season. So far the Jayhawks have managed to do just that. The Jayhawks defense improved their style of play greatly and returned many of the same players from last year's squad. And with half the season already battled through, the statistics reflect the improvement. So far Kansas has allowed 10 goals on 98 shots. The team has only been shut out once but forced three shutouts of its own by senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau and sophomore goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud. RENEE DUMLER/KANSAN "Just staying defensively sound in the back, I think that's a major key to it," senior defender Shelby Williamson said. With key senior defender Cassie Dickerson getting injured early in the season, Kansas was forced to be flexible and creative with their lineup in the back. Kansas found the strength it needed in its rotation of defensive powerhouses. Senior Shelby Williamson, juniors Madi Hillis and Shannon Renner, and sophomore Caroline Van Slambrouck have all stepped up and stopped all types of offensive threats that opponents have tried to throw at the Jayhawks this season. "Most people don't enjoy playing the defensive side of it," Williamson said. "We're the last line of defense besides Stroud or Kat, so we have to communicate with everyone in front of us and keep everyone organized." Making their conference play debut against Oklahoma State, holding defensively was a key to winning the match. The Cowgirls started off quickly, rushing the ball at the defense, trying to create a chance to get at Stroud. The Cowgirls favored running down the left sideline to try and create plays, but Van Slambrouck had other plans. Van Slambrouck broke up many plays before they had a chance to get set up, tackling girls and getting the ball out of play before it became a threat. Williamson also ensured the Cowgirls would score one goal, clearing the balls away as they came near her and staying a constant presence on the field. Stroud stayed focus and added five saves that game, bringing her total for the season up to eight. "We just want to stay and keep our momentum forward," Williamson said. Defensive stamina paired with offensive awareness and well-placed goals ensured that the Jayhawks would come off the pitch with a victory last weekend, opening up conference play with a win. The Jayhawks will need both sides of the ball to raise their level of play a notch and to play to their best ability as they travel on the road to battle two more teams from the Big 12 this weekend. Jayhawks ready for their first road trip Edited by Ryan McCarthy NICOLE EVANS nevans@kansan.com After making a noticeable start in conference play with a win, the competition the jayhawks will face won't lessen up as they hit the road for the first time this season, traveling down to Texas for a two-game weekend. Kansas opened up conference play by hosting the Cowgirls of Oklahoma State, a team that carried a three-game winning streak and most recently coming off of a shutout before facing the Jayhawks. Kansas broke that streak after they gained a 2-1 victory last Friday, handing Oklahoma State their second loss of the season while the Jayhawks improved their record to 7-2-1. Cowgirls All-American goalie Adrianna Franch, who boasts four shutouts this season, was not enough to handle the power brought to the pitch by the Kansas forwards. Freshman forward Courtney Dickerson scored the lone goal for the first half, finding the net early in the 4th minute. Oklahoma State didn't equalize until the second half, but Kansas left no room for celebration as senior forward Whitney Berry scored only a handful of seconds afterwards. Berry made the most of the penalty kick set up after teammate Sarah Robbins was fouled. That goal was enough to allow Kansas' determination to prevail, despite the Cowgirls' numerous desperate attempts to batter the box throughout the remainder of the match. Kansas starts off with a winning 1-0 record in conference play and have no plans of slowing down this weekend. "It felt amazing," senior Shelby Williamson said. "Probably the greatest win so far because it was so exciting." Kansas will take on a sound Baylor squad this Friday. The Bears currently hold a record of 9-1-2, their only loss coming early in the season against Long Beach State. Baylor remains undefeated at home, running on an eight-game unbeaten streak. Strong both offensively and defensively, along with not being afraid to play aggressively with 150 fouls already this season, the Bears will prove to be a good test of Kansas' mental and physical skill. Last season, Kansas fell to the Bears 1-0 after competing in double overtime. "We can't allow other teams to dictate how we play," coach Mark Francis said. "Baylor will close you down and knock you off your rhythm, so we've got to focus on what we want to do and what our game plan is and not allow other teams to dictate that for us." Kansas will need to maximize its many scoring talents to get past the brick wall that Baylor's goals have proved to be. The Bears have only allowed five goals on the season, half of what Kansas has allowed, and the Bears have eight shutouts so far this season. Kansas has had five different players score this season and eight players credited for assists. The Jahways have scored 21 goals so far and have the talent to keep that number increasing as the season progresses. The Jayhaws will travel to Fort Worth on Sunday to face the Horned Frogs of TCU for the first time. While Kansas welcomes TCU into the Big 12, they also plan to show the Horned Frogs the high level of competition they've joined, as Kansas will be the second conference team the Horned Frogs will face so far this season. The Frogs are 5-4-1 on the year, recently losing on the road to Denver in overtime. They will host West Virginia before facing the Jayhawks. TCU had a three-game winning streak going before succumbing to Denver. The Horned Frogs have allowed eight goals on the season, only scoring 11 themselves. They've had four different players score for them, with junior forward Brittany Slyman leading the team with three goals.

The Jayhawks are confident that their talent and unity as a team will help them prevail this weekend.
