Like a good portion of my peers, my chance at artistic exposure ended in fifth grade when I realized I couldn't draw a perfect circle. Twelve years later, I still have to trace around a bowl to make a semi-acceptable sphere. If nothing else, though, I've gained an enjoyment for those who actually do know their way around an artistic medium, and Lawrence is full of them.
While I may not have mastered the paintbrush, pastel, piano or pirouette, many students here dabble in the arts, and the folks at KU Libraries want to make sure they get the exposure they deserve. "LibArt: Student Art in the Libraries" is an exhibit of student art work displayed in Anschutz, Watson and Spencer libraries. Whether it's an art major working on a masterpiece or a business student with a knack for photography, KU Libraries gives students the chance to show off their talent.
If you've taken a break from studying, you may have noticed the work
along the walls of the libraries, but this Friday is the official opening of the exhibit. From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., the student artists will be onhand answering questions about their work, so stop by, say hey and grab some of the free food from KU Dining.
The LibArt opening is part of a larger University event called the Campus Art Walk on the same day. Starting with a kick-off event at 1:30 p.m. at Dyche Hall, the event includes stops at various places on campus promoting student, faculty and instructor art. Bring an old blank shirt to the Art and Design building for free screenprinting by the Visual Art Student Club or check out Greek and Roman sculptures at Lippincott Hall. Ponder photojournalists' work at Stauffer-Flint or attend the video release party for the making of Hashinger Hall's giant mural. See it all. There are a wide variety of exhibits throughout campus, all of which to be marked by a bright red paper lantern outside of the building.
The Art Walk is also conected to Lawrence's monthly art event, Final Fridays, when those with an eye, ear or arm for art set up galleries and displays around town to showcase their talent. The event recently celebrated its second anniversary, and again this month, spectators can check out visual, musical and literary arts all around downtown Lawrence. Everything is free to see and runs
It's a long day full of art in every way, shape and form, so try and see
it at some point. College is more than just core classes; it's a chance to gain a little creative culture, and Lawrence is a mixing of artists and musicians looking for a chance
from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. so there is still time to enjoy the usual nighttime activities.

Bus driver saga continues as grievance is filed

Morelan said that starting today he is in training for Aero Stage Lines, a charter bus company that has locations in Topeka, Manhattan and Kansas City, Mo. Aero Stage Lines also contracts to transport Kansas Athletics teams to and from Kansas City.
Dan Morelan, the former singing University bus driver, is still appealing his termination from MV Transportation. But he's also beginning another job in case he isn't rehired.

Morelan's grievance process continues to the second stage after union representative Charles Pirtle was notified that local MV Transportation management ruled against rehiring Morelan.
But if Morelan is rehired by MV Transportation following the grievance process, he said he would quit

Now, the appeal will go to the corporate level. According to the timetable set by the union's contract with MV Transportation, a hearing with the vice president should take place by Oct. 5.

Morelan was fired after he committed the maximum four work-rule violations for MV Transportation. The fourth violation came from singing with passengers while transporting them from the Kansas football game on

The bus drivers' union filed a grievance against the company on Sept. 12 saying the company violated the union contract by not properly notifying employees, including Morelan, of the P.A. system policy. The union also argues that the memorandum was a notice and not an official policy, so Morelan could
not have violated any work rule by singing with passengers. It asked the company to rehire Morelan with full rights and seniority.

VOTING MADE EASY
SUA's voter registration drive is geared to help students easily register to vote. The deadline for registering is Oct.16.
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING rschlichting@kansan.com
The biggest issue facing student voters might not be who to vote for, but how to vote.
For students wanting to vote but not knowing how, how, Student Union Activities Social Issues Committee is providing a more convenient way to register on campus.
The committee's mission is to remove the barriers for students to vote. To accomplish this, SUA is hosting a Voter Registration Drive at the Kansas Union during "Tea at Three" on Thursday and "Toons at Noon" on Fridays
through Oct. 26. The drive is free and open to students and the public.
Andrew Mechler, coordinator of the social issues committee, said about 55 people registered at the drive since it started on Sept. 20. The drive gives students registration forms, and it takes about five minutes. Prospective visitors should bring their driver's license or know the last four digits of their social security number. International citizens need to bring a naturalization number.
"It's important for students to vote as it gives us the opportunity to direct our
future," Mechler said. "Soon enough most of us here at KU will be out in the world with all the power and responsibilities that come with it."

Because students are usually registered to vote in their hometowns, young voters are more likely to vote if they live near home.
Out of state voters still have the opportunity to vote by filling out an absentee ballot. Absentee voting allows voters the opportunity to mail in their ballot if they live away from home and can't make it to the polls. The Secretary of State for each state has information about absentee ballots and advanced voting.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
For students searching for additional information about voting, several websites can provide information. Rock the Vote's website, www.rockthevote.com, provides state-by-state links that help young voters register, locate where they're registered and apply for absentee ballots. New York University School of Law's Brennan Center for Justice website also details voter registration information by state.
According to the Brennan Center, students with a permanent address outside of the state can register in Kansas, but must obtain a Kansas

driver's license within 90 days.
A common misconception about voting is that voters must vote for the political party they're registered with. A voter can choose whoever they want to once they are in the election booth. The reason for registering for one party is to participate in the party primaries. However, in Kansas, registering as independent only allows that voter to vote in the general election.
Mechler said young adults typically have the lowest voter turnout of any age group and he wants the university to help with that change.
Some students may have already registered to vote or plan on registering. However, that doesn't determine whether they will participate in this upcoming presidential election. A July Gallop poll showed 58 percent of registered voters age 18 to 29 plan to vote. This is down about 20 percent from the 2008 election.
"I registered to vote," Ben Kulhanek, a freshman from Lenexa, said, "but honestly I'm not too into politics to care enough. But we'll see, maybe I'll vote."

Incoming freshman class size increases
nwentling@kansan.com
Since 2008, the University's overall enrollment has been on the downward slide, and the trend continues this semester with a 2.7 percent decrease. However, with the most students since 2009, the freshman class increased more than 5 percent from last year.
Matt Melvin, vice provost of enrollment management, said new recruitment strategies had an effect on the increase. Enrollment Management, which was created through Bold Aspirations to improve enrollment, is in its
first full year of implementation. Efforts have been made to get people interested in the University and increase the number of admitted students that enroll by online targeting, enhancing the campus visit experience and offering more scholarships.
"As cost becomes a more impor

Melvin said the University purchased and deployed Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology last year. This helps the University customize recruitment based on the grade levels of high school students.
tant factor in the final decision, we retooled our first-year scholarship program in an effort to better position KU in a competitive and dynamic market environment," Melvin wrote in an email.
The incoming class also has an average ACT score of 25.1, the highest the University has seen. Jack Martin, Director of Strategic Communications, said there was also an increase in average GPA.
"That means the students are more prepared to come to KU, and that indicates that they're more likely to stay here and earn undergraduate degrees." Martin said.
Melvin said the high ACT scores should also lead to improvements in retention and graduation rates, which defines the success of the

University and could improve national rankings.
This freshman class is the most diverse in University history; 21.3 percent are minority students, while 16.7 percent of the University's overall student body is minority students. Blane Harding, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said the University has historically had 15 or 16 percent minority students; however, he expects this to increase in the next few years.
"It's apparent that we're living in a society where demographics are extremely important, and it is becoming more diverse as we speak," Harding said. "As we bring in freshman classes that have more minorities, that's adding to the diversity of the whole student body."
A DOWNWARD TREND
Although the Fall 2012 incoming class is reversing the trend, Melvin said small classes in 2009, 2010 and 2011 are keeping enrollment down. Also, the number of graduate, international, Edwards Campus and transfer students is stagnant or declining, and

retention rates remain flat. The University's overall enrollment is 27,939 this semester, down from 30,102 in 2008, when the number of students in the incoming class set a record high. Now, the incoming class of 2008 is beginning to leave the system.
"Four- and six-year graduation rates were at record levels," Melvin wrote. "Thus, overall enrollment is impacted by the fact that we are graduating larger numbers of students who are not having to extend their degrees beyond what is typically required to graduate."
The economy is also a factor contributing to the overall decline. Melvin said that economic conditions limit student mobility, and more students are likely to go to a college closer to home. More students are also choosing to enroll in two-year programs or in online classes.

Presidential debates last chance to win over voters
FREDERICK J. ROSENBERG
ASSOCIATED PRESS
petitors in the tight race have a specific mission for the three debates, the first of which is Wednesday night in Denver.
President Barack Obama arrives to speak at a campaign event in Washington on Friday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Barack Obama is cruising into the presidential debates with momentum on his side, yet he's still struggling to revive the passion and excitement that propelled him to the White House. Mitt Romney is grasping for his last, best chance to reboot his campaign after a disastrous September.
The fierce and determined com-
Obama, no longer the fresh face of 2008, must convince skeptical Americans that he can accomplish in a second term what he couldn't in his first, restoring the economy.
Romney, anxious to keep the race from slipping away, needs to instill confidence that he is a credible and trusted alternative to the president, with a better plan for
strengthening the economy.
"The burden in many ways is heavier on Romney," says Wayne Fields, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis who specializes in political rhetoric. "What we see right now is an uncertainty about whether he's ready for the job."
For the hundreds of campaign appearances, thousands of political ads and billions of dollars invested in the race, this is a singular moment in the contest. Upward of 50 million people are expected to watch the debates, drawing the largest political audience of the year.
Forty-one percent of Americans reported watching all of the 2008 debates, and 80 percent said they saw at least a bit, according to a Pew Research Center poll.
The Denver debate, 90 minutes devoted to domestic policy, airs live at 9 p.m. EDT, with the two men seated side by side in elevated director's chairs. Romney and Obama debate again Oct. 16 in
That intense interest tends to crowd out everything else for a time, adding to the debates' importance. With polls indicating that Obama has been gaining ground steadily in the most competitive states, the pressure is on Romney to turn in a breakout performance.
Hempstead, N.Y., and Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla. Vice President Joe Biden and Republican Paul Ryan have their lone debate Oct. 11 in Danville, Ky.
With early or absentee voting already under way in more than half the states, any first impressions created in the debates could well be last impressions. What the candidates say is sure to matter immensely, but how they say it may count for even more.
"We remember visual impressions from debates more than we remember specific words," says Alan Schroeder, a Northeastern University professor who's written a history of presidential debates.
Whether the candidates smile or grimace, strike a confident or defensive pose, speak with a resonant or strained tone of voice, it all matters. That may be particularly true for the all-important undecided voters and those still open to changing their minds.
Staunch Democrats and Republicans may well be firm in their choices, says Patti Wood, an Atlanta-based expert on body language, but if less partisan voters are "frightened in general about their lives, if they're insecure, they're going to pick the most charismatic person."
Both candidates have challenges

to overcome on that score, according to Wood.
Obama, 51, has been sounding "very tired and very strained" laterly, she says, and Romney, 65, "has a problem with appearing superior and cold."
Overall, she says, "Romney is looking a little bit younger than Obama right now," in terms of energy, if not wrinkles.

Haitians protest president ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Several thousand people poured into the streets of Haiti's capital on Sunday to protest the government of President Michel Martelly.
It was among the biggest demonstrations this year in Port-au-Prince against the first-time leader as he tries to rebuild the impoverished nation following the 2010 earthquake that displaced more than a million people.
Demonstrators' complaints included the high cost of living, rising food prices and allegations of corruption. Some protesters carried small red cards to suggest that Martell has committed too many fouls since sworn in as president.
The Martelly government had no immediate public reaction to the protest.
the earthquake. But some Haitians complain he has fallen short of improving their lives.
Martelly promised free schooling and houses for people displaced by
"The president has made so many promises, but nothing has become a reality," protester Max Dorlien said. "It's only a clique of his friends who are making money."

Beer fest draws millions
Musicians of the Oktoberfest orchestra arrive for the Oktoberfest beer festival concert in Munich on Sunday. This festival will see some six million visitors.
BERLIN — This year's Oktoberfest folk festival has already attracted an estimated 3.6 million visitors, the city of Munich said Sunday.
Officials are expecting a total of about 6 million visitors to celebrate the 16-day extravaganza, now half over, but the beer festival's start indicates the final number might well be higher.
The Oktoberfest is best known for its bands of oompah music playing in cavernous tents, local men wearing traditional Bavarian Lederhosen leather shorts and women in bright costumes.
This year's visitors have consumed 3.6 million two-pint (one-liter) mugs of beer so far. A mug, called "mass" in German, of the malty pale beer sells for up to 9.50 ($12.30).
Last year's 6.9 million visitors downed almost 8 million mugs.
While the Oktoberfest's main draw is the towering mugs of beer, many visitors, often flock to the Oktoberfest for its fairground attractions such as roller coasters.
The lost-and-found office said it already counts more than 300 wallets, 200 cellphones, 50 cameras and two wedding rings on its shelves.
NORTH AMERICA
Visitors at this year's Octoberfest, the 179th, mostly came from Germany, neighboring countries, Italy, the U.S., Asia, New Zealand and Australia so far, the city said.
Security guards hindered visitors from stealing beer mugs — a popular souvenir for tourists — in 63,000 cases, the city said.
German authorities keep security tight, while saying at the same time that no risks are expected.
Guantanamo Bay detainee released
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — The last Western detainee held at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay returned to Canada Saturday after a decade in custody following his capture in Afghanistan at age 15 after being wounded in a firefight with U.S. soldiers, officials said.
Canadian Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said that 26-year-old Omar Khadr arrived at a Canadian military base on a U.S. government plane early Saturday and was transferred to the Millhaven maximum security prison in Bath, Ontario.
The son of an alleged al-Qaida financier, Khadr pleaded guilty in 2010 to killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan and was eligible to return to Canada from Guantanamo Bay last October under terms of a plea deal.
But Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government had long refused to request the return of Khadr, the youngest detainee held at Guantanamo. The reluctance was partly due to suspicions about the Khadr family, which has been called "the first family of terrorism."
The U.S. Defense Department confirmed the transfer in a statement and said 166 detainees remain in detention at Guantanamo Bay.
The Toronto-born Khadr was 15 when he was captured in 2002 in Afghanistan, and has spent a decade at the Guantanamo prison set up on the U.S. naval base in Cuba to hold suspected terrorists after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. He received an eight-year sentence in 2010 after being convicted of throwing a grenade that killed Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer during a 2002 firefight.
"His head is spinning a bit and it's going to be a real adjustment for him, but at the same time he is so happy to be home," John Norris, Khadr's Canadian lawyer, said after speaking with his client.
"He can't believe that it is finally true. He simply can't. For very good reason he was quite fearful that the government would not follow through on its word and he's pinching himself right now not believing that this government has finally kept its word." he said.
Norris said Khadr would be eligible for parole as early as the summer of 2013. He said Khadr's return to Canada comes 10 years too late.
Toews said the U.S. government initiated Khadr's transfer and suggested that Canada had little choice but to accept him because he is a Canadian citizen. It will be up to Canada's national parole board to release him, Toews said.
JUHAN SABAH
"Omar Khadr is a known supporter of the al-Qaida terrorist network and a convicted terrorist," Toews said.
Toews called for "robust conditions of supervision" if Khadr is granted parole. Toews said in his written decision that he reviewed all the files forwarded by the U.S. government and said the parole board should consider his concerns that Omar "idealizes" his father and "appears to deny" "Ahmed Khadr's lengthy history of terrorist action and association with al-Qaida."
Toews also said that Omar Khadr's mother and sister "have openly applauded" his father's "crimes and terrorist activities" and noted that Omar has had "little contact with Canada society and will require substantial management in order to ensure safe integration in Canada."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
This undated photo shows Guantanamo detainee Omar Khadr, a Canadian, taken before he was imprisoned in 2002 at the age of 15. He set foot on Canadian soil on Saturday after an American military flight from Guantanamo Bay. Khdr pleaded guilty in 2010 to killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan and was eligible to return to Canada last October under terms of a plea deal. Canada's conservative government took almost a year to approve the transfer.
"I am satisfied the Correctional Service of Canada can administer Omar Khadr's sentence in a manner which recognizes the serious nature of the crimes that he has committed and ensure the safety of Canadians is protected during incarceration." Toews said.
He added that once the Correctional Service "will get to know Omar" they will "recommend appropriate conditions."
Omar was found in the rubble of a bombed-out compound and near death in Afghanistan in 2002. His case received international attention after some dubbed him a child soldier.

New Bond looks for awards
LANDON MCDONALD
lmcdonald@kansan.com
After a half-century spent swigging martins, thwarting megalomaniacs and dodging off-camera paternity suits, James Bond is reaching for something more worthy of his old fashion Goldfinger: the luster of awards season.
With 23 officially licensed films to its name, the Bond franchise is one of the longest-running series of all time. It is also one of the most resilient, maintaining its relevance and popularity long after the Cold War and Sean Connery's natural hairline receded into history. In 1995's latter-day classic "Goldeneye," the newly feminized M (Judi Dench) calls 007 (Pierce Bosnan) a "sexist, misogynist dinosaur," a not-so-subtle acknowledgment of the character's limitations and a commentary on this franchise's uncanny ability to evolve with the times while maintaining its core elements of action, seduction and intrigue.
Yet perhaps the most interesting trend to appear in recent 007 adventures has also been the most preoccupied: the prestige factor. After the final Brosnan effort "Die Another Day" stoooped to ridiculous gimmicks like ice palaces and invisible cars, director Martin Campbell gave the superspy a hard reboot with "Casino Royale", introducing Daniel Craig as a steeleyed bruiser Bond whose thugglish exterior masked a bereaved heart. The new approach connected with audiences and critics alike, leading to high grosses and rave reviews but no attention from the Oscars.
THE DANIEL KING AWARD
"Skyfall", the new 007 film scheduled for release November 9, seems calculated to redress that slight, which extended even to technical categories where past installments ("Goldfinger," "Thunderball") had triumphed.
For starters, it's being helmed by Sam Mendes, the acclaimed filmmaker behind "American Beauty" and the father-son gangster drama "Road to Perdition," the latter of which introduced Craig to American audiences while playing Paul Newman's slimy, shiftless offspring.
The new film also boasts a cast full of red carpet regulars, including series veteran Dame Judi, Javier Bardem, Albert Finney and Ralph Fiennes. Bardem, so memorable as the monstrous Anton Chigurh in the Coen Brothers" "No Country For Old Men," is returning to
Mendes has indicated a desire to find a balance between the humorless grit of the newer films and the glory days of Connery, as evidenced by a recent trailer where Bond pauses to adjust his cufflinks after a narrow escape aboard a semi-demolished train.

poorly coiffed super-villainy as the flaxen-haired fiend Raoul Silva, an international terrorist who seems to share a troubled past with M.
It's worth noting that longtime Coen collaborator Roger Deakins ("Fargo", "True Grit") is handling the movie's cinematography, ensuring a spectacular visual experience. "Skyfall" is the first Bond film to be shot entirely on digital, a decision made to facilitate a much-anticipated conversion to IMAX. This version is set to debut a day early for U.S. audiences, who will no doubt be shaken and stirred.

No Doubt isn't very good at being serious; their best tracks have always been tasty little party favors. "Undone" is a piano-soaked ballad that aims for emotional depth but ends up being a song to skip. Listening to Stefani croon about sadness and uncertainty just feels weird — sort of like hearing Kurt Cobain sing about a fun time

'No Doubt' returns to charts with new album
dmchenry@kansan.com
DUNCAN MCHENRY
dmchenry@duncan.com
The last time No Doubt released an album, iTunes was less than a year old, Nickelback was topping the charts and "Twitter" was only a verb. In short, it's been a while.
"Push and Shove" is the first studio release from the California ska-pop band since "Rock Steady" in 2001. Taking an 11-year break has to interrupt a band's creative flow, but No Doubt seem better suited to a comeback than most. Their sound — usually equal parts punk, pop and reggae — still works in the digitized music world of 2012.
The first two singles, "Settle Down" and "Looking Hot," prove they've adapted to the times. In typical No Doubt fashion, the modern dance club beat of "Looking Hot" eventually slows to a dub crawl reminiscent of the 2001 hit "Underneath It All."
The highlight of the album is singer Gwen Stefan's unmistakeable ability to be both punk and bubblegum in her vocals. "Do you think I'm looking hot? / Do you think this hits the spot?" she whines in Lady Gaga-like tones on "Looking Hot." But Stefani assures us the princess act was only theatrical with "Easy," singing "They're circling me, 'cos I am a burtler baby."

Sex education crucial for students
HEALTH
I love my boyfriend. He's cool with me having a girlfriend at the same time.
Sex education is one of those things we were taught to roll our eyes at in middle school and high school. We wiggle at memories of condoms on bananas, gym and health teachers mentally preparing themselves to say "vagina," and being told that if you have sex "you will get pregnant, and die."
(And of course, for all of those who can join me in Catholic School Solidarity, the inevitable weaving in of Adam and Eve. Because nothing says a healthy attitude towards sex like the Bible.)
I have found that the typical college student tends to focus on the hilarity or stupidity of the sex education they received; rather than trying to some way correct that education, and you know, learn something.
The state of American sex education is pretty laughable to be honest, so I get why a lot of people my age write off sex education. But it's also an attitude that makes things suck.
A lot of people think they know a fair amount about sex, either because they went to the
And to be fair, maybe you went to an awesomely progressive school with comprehensive, accurate sex education, or your parents, friends, and so forth weren't either awkward about the material being discussed or the products of sub-par sex education themselves. Or perhaps you haven't watched 99 percent of porn, which, while entertaining, doesn't exactly tend to lend itself to realistic or healthy depictions of sex.
obligatory sex education session in school, or they've learned stuff from parents, friends, etc. Or because you watch a lot of porn.
Basically, you probably don't know much, or enough, about sex. Even if you've been having sex, there are likely things you're doing that you've learned based on inaccurate information, or things you don't know because you didn't get enough information.

For example, as the YouTube Sex Vlogger Laci Green said, did you know that if you're biologically female and having vaginal intercourse for the first time, it doesn't have to be painful? And
you don't have to bleed? If you do the necessary preparation (and use tons of lube) you can actually have a fairly decent "first time."
Or, for those biologically male did you know you folks actually have a G-spot? Yeah man, as Discovery Health discusses, thanks to the almighty prostate, more potential orgasms for you. Congratulations.
There are so many things that most of American sex education doesn't cover. Did you know, according to Planned Parenthood, condoms become ineffective if left in too extreme of temperatures? Or that a lot of sexually transmitted infections don't actually have visible physical signs?
And don't even get me started on how sex education in the
United States hardly ever takes into consideration that some people are not heterosexual or 100 percent biologically male or female.
You might have gotten screwed by your sex education in school, but there are resources you can take advantage of to correct that.
Planned Parenthood's website has a huge section devoted to sex education, and they also do workshops for college students. The Ecumenical Christian Ministry on campus has talks every Tuesday evening about topics concerning sex. And then there actually a fair number of sex bloggers on the internet, like Laci Green or GoAskAlice, who both give factual, accurate information concerning sex. There's tons of ways to learn.
When students go away to college, it's one of the first times in a young person's life that they are actually on their own and able to make decisions about their lives without worrying about their families' judgments or disapproval. This makes college the first time most people get to be sexually free, which can be awesome.
If you know how to do so safely and responsibly, sex is great. But without a solid sex education to back up that freedom, way too many students end up either in unsatisfying, painful or dangerous sexual situations.
If you want to have sex, you totally deserve to have great sex. If you don't want to have sex, you totally deserve how to know if someone's taking advantage of you. It's important to know how your body works and how healthy sexual activity should function.
Being in college without a good sex education is like going swimming without taking swimming lessons. I mean, maybe you'll be okay, but maybe a shark is going to come your way. I'd personally be prepared to swim the hell away from the shark.
You deserve to be empowered in your own body and sexuality. And that my friends, is what good sex education does.

Movie-watching on a budget
ENTERTAINMENT
It may be time to do laundry if you spray your clothes with Axe because nothing passes the sniff test.
The current economic downturn our country has been facing for several years has changed many aspects in the way we live our lives. And one big example of this is the way we entertain ourselves. There are more ways than ever for us to catch some entertainment during our day.
In today's society, is taking a trip to the movie theater really worth the $10, or even the gas money it takes to get there?
Because personally, I think we can find entertainment elsewhere and for a lot cheaper.
By Ben Carroll
bcarroll@kansan.com
Going to see a movie as entertainment just isn't as popular as it once was. Just look at the recent earnings that theaters make these days. During the recession, prices on a lot of things have stayed the same or have dropped—but not movie theaters. Movie tickets are skyrocketing, and the prices for snacks are just as much as the ticket itself. So I ask. With the many ways we can entertain ourselves with these days, are the theaters' prices worth the hole in our pockets?
To the Cadillac owner in the Lawrence Memorial parking lot with the license plate "MIZ SEC" ... Leave this town now
I don't have any skeletons in my closet, but I do however have a tiny box full of souls in my underwear drawer.
While most of us were growing up, we enjoyed going to the movie theater on a rainy day to go see one of the most antici-
paired films of the year. Or we liked staying up late to catch that expensive midnight showing of the new Harry Potter movie. But unfortunately, those times are gone and are probably not coming back, at least not for a while.
Entertainment is a lot easier to come across, and it comes in many different ways. We have Netflix for instant streaming for our favorite selection of classic movies and documentaries. Then there is Hulu Plus for the people that can't live without watching the latest episode of their favorite television series. Though both Netflix and Hulu Plus requires a monthly fee, it is not much more expensive than one trip to the movie theater, and you get a lot more for your money. There is always a wide selection of movies and shows to choose from. That makes it worth your while to stay

Let's be besties. I prefer Pizza Shuttle though.
Also, movies come out on DVD much quicker than they did before. Previously, it would take months for a movie to hit the shelves of local electronic stores for personal use. But in today's world, movies are for sale as DVD's in a matter of weeks after its final showing in the theatres. Many people would rather wait and rent the DVD for only a couple of dollars rather than wasting close to $20 to see it once at the theater.
Being in college means working hard without making any money. So from time to time, we like to keep ourselves entertained, but do it wisely and save yourself some money while your at it. Movie theaters will put a huge hole in your wallet and being a college student. I know you will enjoy having that little bit of extra cash by saving it on cheaper ways to entertain yourself.

POLITICS
Better political ideas needed by candidates
PETER GILBERT
P
By David Scott
dscott@kansan.com
Abad economy and dirty politics have overshadowed an important aspect of being president: presenting big ideas to the American people and calling upon them to rise to the challenge.
BUOK. Opinion Pizza Shuttle stole my heart long before I even went to KU, and I'll never change my mind.
Sadly, a high unemployment rate means a low aptitude for imagination.
As World War I came to a close—a war that began partly because of a random assassination and an entanglement of European alliances—millions of soldiers had lost their lives for a cause very few could articulate. An Age of Anxiety set in, and the world sought a relief from modernity, along with its Maxim machine guns and chemical warfare.
In 1919, Woodrow Wilson presented one of the biggest ideas in American politics, thus shaping international politics for almost a century.
As the leader of the country that tipped the war and assured an Allied victory, Wilson took center stage during the settlement process and galvanized the world with his idea of self-determination: the right of countries, no matter their size, to govern themselves.
@mswag47
Social movements, such as the civil rights movement, used this idea, as this idea applies to the individual, as well. All individuals deserve the right to self-determination no matter who they are, what they look like, or where they come from.
The greatness of the Wilson's idea of self-determination rests in its affirmation of the Declaration of Independence: our unalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The method to how we realize this goal determines our politics.
With just a smidgen of education, it's easy to see how history has mistreated large swaths of people. Racism, sexism and inequality still permeate the American class system—a system inherently designed to favor select groups. Maybe, equal opportunity isn't as stale an idea as I thought. Maybe, it's the system that has grown old. Maybe, we should give opportunity a try.
It determines how we see the world, and whom we will vote for in November.
Last Sunday, on "60 Minutes," President Obama and presidential candidate Mitt Romney shared their views on this matter. In my mind, they made the decision simple.
I am a bit dismayed our leaders, in the year 2012, are proposing "freedom" and "opportunity" as their big ideas for our country. However, I am confident in how I should vote. For me, people always come before business. I don't subscribe to the idea that what's good for business is good for America. In fact, this business-as-usual mentality is the reason equal opportunity is still sought.
Both were asked to present their big ideas. Sadly, these ideas were fairly pedestrian. The death of imagination is but one more casualty we can blame on a sluggish recovery.
Obama answered the same question. "I think there's no bigger purpose right now than making sure that if people work hard in this country, they can get ahead," he said.
"I want to restore the kind of freedom that has always driven America's economy," he said right off the top. "My message is restore the kind of freedom that allows America to lead the world."
However, their answers were revealing. Romney's big idea is "freedom."

Students sweep aerospace engineering 'Olympics'
ETHAN PADWAY
ETHAN PADWAY
eoadway@kansan.com
In the "Olympics of aerospace engineering," University of Kansas students prevailed.
The University took first, second and third place in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) 2011-12 Individual Aircraft Design Competition.
The victory continues the program's strong tradition of success in the world's largest and longest running aircraft design competition, with the University winning more awards from the AIAA than any other school.
"This is the Olympics of aerospace engineering and our students have swept the Olympics," said Dr. Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, an associate professor in aerospace engineering and the project advisor.
The contest focused on designing an unlimited class plane for the Reno Air Races.
Graduate student Samantha Schuler took first place in the contest with her design, "Cratus," which she designed as a senior last year as part of her airplane design class.
Schuler emphasized safety in her design. She began working before the crash at the 2011 Reno Air Race, a crash that killed 11 people, 10 of which were spectators.
"Sam figured out how to reduce the control forces so as to allow a pilot to very exactlying control
her flight around the pylons and therefore win the race," Barrett-Gonzalez said.
Scheuler's design has a three-engine model, which enables the pilot to keep two-thirds of the plane's power running should an engine fail. This would allow the pilot to safely exit the race and return the plane to the ground.
"I looked at current racers, and most of them are World War II planes, aluminum built," Schueler said. "So I wanted to use composites and different technology that we have now that they can't implement in older planes."
Schuler gave a presentation of her design to a room full of the world's top aircraft design engineers at the AIAA Aircraft Technology, Integration and Operations Conference in Indianapolis on Sept. 19.
"it's great to come in as a freshman and hear how KU has a legacy in these competitions, and then actually be a part of that and represent the school, compete with other programs and show that KU has a lot to offer", Schauer said.
Jorrit Vervoorkdellonk, an exchange student from Delft University in the Netherlands, took second place at the competition, and University graduate Alexander Lopez from Overland Park came in third place.

Military deaths of U.S. troops in Afghanistan surpass 2,000
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I'm mad as hell about them, to be honest with you," Allen told CBS' "60 Minutes" in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday. "It reverberates everywhere across the United States. You know, we're willing to sacrifice a lot for this campaign, but we're not willing to be murdered for it."
KABUL, Afghanistan—The killing of an American serviceman in an exchange of fire with allied Afghan soldiers pushed U.S. military deaths in the war to 2,000, a cold reminder of the perils that remain after an 11-year conflict that now garners little public interest at home.
The toll has climbed steadily in recent months with a spate of attacks by Afghan army and police — supposed allies — against American and NATO troops. That has raised troubling questions about whether countries in the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan will achieve their aim of helping the government in Kabul and its forces stand on their own after most foreign troops depart in little more than two years.
"The tally is modest by the standards of war historically, but every fatality is a tragedy and 11 years is too long," said Michael O'Hanlon, a fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. "All that is internalized, however, in an American public that has been watching this campaign for a long time. More newsworthy right now are the insider attacks and the sense of hopelessness they convey to many." "Attacks by Afghan soldiers or police — or insurgents disguised in their uniforms — have killed 52 American and other NATO troops so far this year.
"We have to get on top of this. It is a very serious threat to the campaign," the U.S. military's top officer, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, said about the insider threat.
The top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, was blunt.
The insider attacks are considered one of the most serious threats to the U.S. exit strategy from the country. In its latest incarnation, that strategy has focused on training Afghan forces to take over security nationwide — allowing
most foreign troops to go home by the end of 2014.
The program to train and equip 350,000 Afghan policemen and soldiers has cost the American taxpayer more than $22 billion in the past three years.
As part of that drawdown, the first 33,000 U.S. troops withdrew by the end of September, leaving 68,000 still in Afghanistan. A decision on how many U.S. troops will remain next year will be taken after the American presidential elections. NATO currently has 108,000 troops in Afghanistan — including U.S. forces — down from nearly 150,000 at its peak last year.
The most recent attack came just days after Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said most U.S. and coalition combat units in Afghanistan returned to their practice of partnering with Afghan forces, nearly two weeks after the top U.S. commander put restrictions on such cooperation.
Like so many other deaths in Afghanistan, the latest were shrouded in confusion and conflicting accounts.
On Sunday, U.S. officials confirmed the deaths of two Americans, a service member and a civilian contractor killed late Saturday.
The fighting started when insurgents attacked a checkpoint set up by U.S. forces in eastern Wardak province, said Shahidullah Shahid, a provincial government spokesman. He said the insurgents apparently used mortars in the attack. The Americans thought they were under attack from their allies at a nearby Afghan army checkpoint and fired on it. The Afghan soldiers returned fire, Shahid said.
The Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman said the shooting broke out as a result of a "misunderstanding" while ISAF forces were on patrol near an Afghan army checkpoint.
In addition to the 2,000 Americans killed since the Afghan war began on Oct.7, 2001, at least 1,190 more coalition troops from other countries have also died, according to iCasualties.org, an independent organization that tracks the deaths.

Intrasquad race preps swimmers for season
CHRISTOPHER SCHAEDER
cschaeder@kansan.com
Top performances from junior Morgan Sharp and freshman Chelsie Miller helped carry the Crimson team to victory over the Blue team at the annual swimming and diving intrasquid scrimpage on Friday afternoon.
Sharp took top honors in the 100 and 200-yard freestyle, while Miller finished first in the 200-yard and the 500-yard freestyle.
Coach Clark Campbell was very proud of the progress made by Sharp and Miller at the meet.
"I was very happy with both of them," Campbell said. "Morgan is way ahead of where she has been in

Other highlights for the Crimson team were senior Rebecca Swank in the 1,000-yard freestyle, junior Sofia Filatova in the 100-yard butterfly, freshman Bryce Hinde in the 100-yard breaststroke and junior Alysia Golden won one of the two diving events at the meet.
The top performers on the Blue team were senior Svetlana Golovchun in the 50-yard freestyle, sophomore Alina Vats in the 100-year backstroke and freshman Meredith Brownell won a diving event.
For Campbell, the meet went as well as he expected at this point of the season.
"For September, it was about where we thought we would be," Campbell said. "We have a long ways to go, but that is the beauty of the season."
The team's first official meet of the season is on Saturday at noon when the Jayhawks will travel to Houston to compete against Rice. The first home meet for the Jayhawks will be on Oct. 20 against Minnesota.

In the eight petite final, KU finished fourth, fifth and sixth and the team's top varsity eight participated in the grand final and finished fifth.
The final qualifying event of the race was the varsity four, where two KU boats qualified for the final with a time of 17:15.14. Junior Cara Murray, sophomores Alexis Fowkes, Andrea Joyce and Brooke Thurston and senior Katy MacCormack led the two KU boats.

"The intensity stunk," he said. "Today was brutal."
No one will disagree with Francoeur's assessment. Cleveland scored 10 times in the fifth inning to blow the game open and send Kansas City to its seventh loss in eight games.
CLEVELAND — Royals outfielder Jeff Francoeur didn't have to offer any detailed analysis for Sunday's 15-3 loss to the Indians.

"It it got away in a hurry," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "A 10-run fifth is not good for your business."
Luke Hochevar (8-16) was tagged for nine runs in 4-2-3 innings in his final start of the season.
Among the Royals' recent losses was a 15-4 pasting by the Indians at home a week earlier.
Hochevar dropped to 1-7 in 11
starts since beating the Indians on July 31. The right-hander gave up nine hits and three walks to close a wildly inconsistent season.
The loss also added to the Royals' injury problems, which seems to grow by the day.
In 21 outings, he had a 2.88 ERA. In 11 other starts, he lasted only a total of 48 innings and had a 13.88 ERA.
Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer, his 13th, in the sixth for Kansas City. Tony Abreu's RBI single made it 1-13 in the seven.
Third baseman Mike Mouastak
left in the sixth with left groin
tightness, although Yost said he would have been able to stay in the game had the score been closer. First baseman Eric Hosmer and shortstop Alcides Escobar missed the three-game series with shoulder injuries. Hosmer has a slight tear in his right rotator cuff and will be re-examined Monday when the Royals open a three-game homestand with Detroit.
The Royals and Indians will have some say on how the AL Central race ends. Kansas City plays the Tigers, who lead Chicago by three games. Cleveland hosts the fading White Sox for three games, also starting Monday.

Outside hitter Catherine Carmichael spikes the ball against Tulsa in August. The team has gone 12-2 in nonconference play.
Jayhawks confident for conference play
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Just like last season, the Kansas volleyball team rolled through their nonconference schedule with only a couple of minor hiccups.
The difference this year is the team believes it can translate that momentum into a successful conference season.
"I think we've always had a good team, but I think that this year we truly believe in ourselves and we know that we don't want to have another season like we had last year," said redshirt junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael.
The Jayhawks went 12-1 in nonconference play last season, including a victory against No. 6 Minnesota and won three nonconference tournament titles. However, the team only finished 3-13 in Big 12 play.
This season, Kansas has a 12-2 nonconference record, with one match remaining against St. Louis University on Nov. 21. The Jayhawks began conference play Sept. 22 with a three-sweep at Texas Tech, which the Jayhawks defeated twice last season. They followed that with a five-set home victory against Iowa State, a team that swept the Jayhawks twice last season.
Senior defensive specialist Morgan Boub said this year's team is different because they have the ability to finish games and matches. The team's statistics back her statement up so far; the Jayhawks have swept eight of the 16 opponents they have played.
Kansas also won the two matches that went the maximum five sets. Against Creighton and Iowa State, the Jayhawks won the first two sets before dropping the second two. Both times, the Jayhawks won the fifth set to take the match 3-2.
"I think we've been doing really well, and in practice we'll simulate those type of game situations, and I think it's definitely been helpful," Boub said.
The teams all-time kills leader,
Allison Mayfield, graduated. Despite this, the Jayhawks have shown more offensive balance this season. Opposing defenses have keyed on trying to stop middle blockers Caroline larmoc and Tavler Toletfreel.
Even on rare nights when opponents have had success slowing them down, the Jayhawks' outside hitters, Carmichael and sophomore Sara McClinton, have been able to provide offense. McClinton is second on the team in kills and Carmichael is third.
Coach Ray Bechard said McClinton worked to improve her hitting percentage during the offseason, while Carmichael is one of the team's most physical players.
"Sara was, I think, below .200 last year and she's in the .230. .240 range, which, if she could keep that going through Big 12, that would be huge." Beachard said. "Cathy, I think she could hit for a little higher number, but her physicality at the net, she allowed us to score some points with her block that hasn't always been there for us in the past in that position."
Another surprise for Kangas is the emergence of freshman outside bitter Tiana Dockery. She posted a double-double in kills and digs in two of the Jayhawks' last three matches, and is fourth on the teams in blocks.
Bechard said he expected Dockery to contribute, but not as a six-rotation player. However, that what she is doing.
"That's a very difficult thing to do, to ask a kid to pass, dig. serve, block and attack." Bechard said. "But she's doing that pretty well and to this point it hasn't overwhelmed her."

After dropping a heartbreaker Baylor on Friday, the Jayhawks soccer team came back in dramatic fashion on Sunday.
- Kansas defeated Texas Christian University 3-2 in double overtime after junior Caroline Kastor scored in the 103rd minute.
In the second overtime, freshman forward Courtney Dickinson intercepted the ball and found Kastor on the far side of the field. From there, Kastor played the ball back and forth with senior Whitney Berry, giving Kastor a breakaway along the far sideline. She cut toward the goal and fired a shot over opposing goalkeeper Vittoria

Europeans make historic comeback in Ryder Cup
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEDINAH, ILL. — Erasing some of their worst Ryder Cup memories, the Europeans wore the image of Seve Ballesteros on their sleeves and played their hearts out Sunday at Medinah to match the greatest comeback in history and head home with that precious gold trophy.
Europe got its payback for Brookline, when the Americans roared back from the same 10-6 deficit. This rally was even more remarkable, carried out before a raucous American crowd that began their chants of "USA!" some three hours before the first match got under way.
par putt on the 18th hole, and then conceded a par to Francesco Molnari of about that length to halve their match. That extra half-point made it a clear-cut win for Europe, $14\%$ $13\%$.
Jose Maria Olazabal squeezed his eyes and fought back tears when Kaymer held a 6-foot par putt to beat Steve Stricker and give Europe the point it needed to keep the cup. This was the first Ryder Cup since Ballesteros, the soul of European golf in this event, died last May of a brain tumor. Olazabal wanted his team to wear navy blue, Seve's favorite color, and added a clever touch — his iconic silhouette on the sleee.es of their shirts.
Woods and Stricker, the anchors in the lineup, didn't win a single match at Medinah.
Ian Poulter was the first to embrace Olazabal, which was only fitting.
It was Poulter who gave Europe hope Saturday evening when he made five straight birdies to turn a loss into a win and swing momentum in Europe's favor. Poulter was up to his fist-pumping, eye-bulging tricks again on the final day, winning the last two holes in his match
Tiger Woods missed a 3½-foot
"This one is for all of Europe," Olazabal said. "Steve will always be present with this team. He was a big factor for this event for the European side, and last night when we were having that meeting, I think the boys understood that believing was the most important thing. And I think they did."
And he had plenty of help. Europe's top five players in the lineup all won, including Rory McLloy, who was lucky to be playing. McIl
against U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson.
roy thought his match was at 12:25 p.m. — it was listed in Eastern time, not Central — and needed
a police escort to get to the course with 10 minutes to spare. Then, he came up with key birdies to hand Keegan Bradley his first loss of the week.
The biggest match might have
belonged to justin Rose. He was on the verge of losing to Phil Mickelson when Rose holed a 12-foot par
putt to halve the 16th, made a 35-foot birdie putt from the back of the 17th green to win the hole, and then closed out Mickelson with a 12-foot birdie on the last hole.
Six of the 12 matches went to the 18th hole on Sunday. The Americans won only one of them.

Chargers force six turnovers to beat Chiefs
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The San Diego Chargers couldn't have asked for a more generous host.
Philip Rivers threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns, and the AFC West-leading Chargers took advantage of six turnovers by the Kansas City Chiefs in a 37-20 victory Sunday.
Five of the turnovers came in the first half, when San Diego (3-1) raced to a 27-6 lead, and the Chargers turned the Chiefs' six total takeaways into 24 points.
Jackie Battle had a pair of scores against his former team, and Eddie Royal also caught a touchdown pass. San Diego improved to 8-2 in its last 10 meetings with Kansas City.
Making his 100th career start, Rivers surpassed the 25,000-yard mark passing while improving to 28-10 against other members of the division. He's also 9-4 against the Chiefs.
Matt Cassel threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns for the Chiefs (1-3), but he had three first-half interceptions. Jamal Charles, who followed his big game last week at New Orleans with touchdowns rushing and receiving, also fumbled twice.
Dwayne Bowe had seven catches for 108 yards and a touchdown for Kansas City.
In last season's meeting at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chargers gave the game away. The teams were tied in the closing seconds when Rivers fumbled a snap, preventing San Diego from attempting the winning field goal.
The game went to overtime and the Chiefs ultimately prevailed.
The regular officials were back on the field Sunday, and both teams kept referee Bill Leavy's crew busy. They combined for 15 penalties for 150 yards.
Then the cacophony of errors truly began for Kansas City.
Chiefs safety Eric Berry was flagged twice for pass interference on the Chargers' opening possession, and Rivers capped off a 76-yard drive with a rather elementary pass to Royal for the touchdown.
Cassel's third pass of the game was intercepted by Eric Weddle, giving San Diego the ball at the Chiefs 28. Four plays later, Nick Novak's 25-yard field goal made it 10-0.
The Chiefs have been outscored 41-6 in the first quarter this season.
On the Chiefs' next possession, Charles was stripped of the ball by Takeo Spikes on the first play after a false start. San Diego took over at the Chiefs 5, and Battle pounded forward twice to give the Chargers a 17-0 lead — all before Kansas City had run five offensive plays.

He found three different receivers against Baylor for over 100 receiving yards. J.D. Woods pulled in 114 yards and one touchdown, Tavon Austin caught 215 yards and two touchdowns and Stedman Bailey had a monster game with 303 yards and five touchdown receptions.
It was West Virginia's first Big 12 game since officially joining the conference. Unexpectedly, they had a wild shootout against Baylor. West Virginia and Baylor combined for 133 points and 19 touchdowns on Saturday.
WVU 4-0 (1-0) -- BAYLOR 3-1
(0.1)
(0-1)
Quarterback Geno Smith dominated headlines all weekend with his performance. Smith put up insane video game-like numbers against the Bears. He threw for a school record 656 yards and eight touchdowns against the Bears.
Baylor surprised a lot of people when it proved how explosive its offense is with quarterback Nick Florence under center. Florence threw 581 yards and five touchdown passes against the Mountaineers. Like Smith, Florence also had a receiver catch for over 300 yards in Terrance Williams. But his interception on the second play of the game could have been the difference maker in the match as Baylor ended up losing by one score.
Its 700 total yards of offense and 63 points impressed everyone, but it was not enough to win on the road at Mountaineer Field.
Running back Joseph Randle had a career-high in carries with 25 and rushing yards with 199. Randle scored two touchdowns to help the Cowboys keep up with the Long-horns.
—No. 12 Texas 41 -- Oklahoma State 36
UT 4-0 (1-0) -- OKST 2-2 (0-1)
Big 12 football fans witnessed another nail-biter Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium. Oklahoma State was fired up with a mindset of pulling an upset while hosting Texas at home.
Texas quarterback David Ash gave his team momentum on the road.
TCU always had the lead in this game, thanks to their dangerous defense that came away with six takeaways. Cornerback Jason Verrett shined with two interceptions and safety Chris Hackett provided help for the Horned Frogs with an interception and a fumble recovery, doing everything to make sure Southern Methodist did not see the end zone more than twice.
LION
Texas Christian's offense stumbled again and scored less than 30 points for the third straight game after scoring 56 to open up their season. Quarterback Casey Pachall's early fumble set the Horned Frogs back, but it got its offense going after a pair of touchdown throws by Pachall in the first quarter.

After Texas Tech's unsuccessful early efforts, quarterback Seth Doege gave his team a boost of energy in the second half, finishing the game with 331 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. Doege completed a pass to nine different players.
In the end, it was the Red Raiders' defense that pulled to help the struggling offense. Texas Tech forced four turnovers as defensive back Cornelius Douglas intercepted two passes from Iowa State quarterback Steele Jantz.

THE MORNING BREW Golfers exhibit passion and energy in Ryder Cup
Q: How many times has the U.S. won the Ryder Cup before 2012 with Tiger Woods on the team?
While millions of Americans tuned in to watch another weekend of college and NFL football, one
of the great sporting events of the year also took place: the Ryder Cup.
Golf's premier event, which occurs every two years, pits the United States against Europe in a team format that brings out the passion and competition that is the game of golf.
By Andrew Ruszczyk
aruszczyk@kansan.com
Rather than playing for money and fame, players play for their country. And rather than playing for themselves like in regular golf tournaments, egos are set aside and true character is seen through team play.
Watching the Ryder Cup is a completely different experience than watching any other golf tournament. It elevates the game from something you fall asleep watching on a Sunday afternoon, to something that makes you sit on the edge of your seat.
Every two years, the venue for the Ryder Cup changes from a course in Europe to a course in the U.S., and the home-field advantage you see in other sports is instantly a factor in golf as well. Normally a reserved and quiet game, fans at the Ryder Cup carry flags representing their beloved team and chant wildly as their team makes a
clutch putt or the other team misses.
The event this weekend featured many of the top golfers in the world, including Tiger Woods, Rory Mcmilroy, Phil Mickleson and Lee Westwood, to name a few, and if you watched any of the Ryder Cup this weekend, you got to see an amazing sporting spectacle.
This weekend at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Ill., the Europeans completed the most historic comeback on foreign soil, beating the U.S. in impressive fashion to reclaim the cup.
You saw Keegan Bradley, the young American playing in his first Ryder Cup, sink putts and fist pump like a mad man,
imploring the crowd to go wild as his caddy waved around the flag stick in celebration.
You saw Tiger Woods make a crucial putt down the stretch of his match Friday afternoon and react the way the old Tiger Woods used to, pointing to the next tee, flipping his putter and walking with a stare that even Ray Lewis would fear.
You also saw Martin Kayner, the former No. 1 player in the world, who since has looked lost on the golf course at times, sink the putt on the last hole to cap off the European's historic comeback.
But most importantly, you saw an event that truly encapsulates what sport is. If you don't think golf is a sport, than you have never watched the Ryder Cup, because the Ryder Cup has everything a sports fan could possibly want.
On Friday and Saturday, most golfers are out on the course competing for eight hours, hitting shots that normal people couldn't imagine hitting, and making putts with thousands of people watching them on the course and millions more watching at home.
KU
The passion displayed from the players and fans makes this event what it is, and it
did not fail to disappoint.
The Ryder Cup is the one event in golf where fans can be fans and the world's best golfers can compete against each other in a unique team environment that truly reveals character.
While the timing of the Ryder Cup is not exactly ideal with football taking up television priorities, for me it is on par with some of the greatest sporting events in the world. And again, if you don't believe me, I have one simple question: Did you watch?

Team gains confidence for conference season PAGE 9
Jayhawks win fall tourney
PAGE 10
COMMENTARY
Moutaineers' offense may lead to title
Led by a potential Heisman winner and an excellent offense, West Virginia might win the Big 12 conference in its first year in the conference. Though Baylor's offense kept up with West Virginia, many offenses can't put up the numbers like the Mountaineers.
A trip to Austin, Texas to face the Texas Longhorns this weekend and a game on Oct. 20 against Kansas State stand in the way of the Mountaineers' Big 12 title. But with this explosive offense, West Virginia has to be the favorites to earn the Big 12 crown.
However, the Mountaineers don't have a good quarterback. They have a magnificent quarterback. Senior quarterback Geno Smith continues to put up godly numbers.
Usually having two wide receivers with 200 or more yards in a game is uncommon, but to have two wide outs in the top five in multiple categories is unreal.

CROSS COUNTRY
The Big 12 conference was once known for its power running and hard-nosed defense. Now, many teams spread the football field and sling the ball through the air.
Still, without a good quarterback, the spread offense doesn't really work.
And for the undefeated West Virginia Mountaineers, that gives them an edge over the rest of the Big 12.
In the 70-63 victory over Baylor, Smith completed 45 of his 51 passing attempts, threw for 656 yards and eight touchdowns. To put those numbers in perspective, Baylor Heisman winner Robert Griffin III three for 1,481 yards and 18 touchdowns through four games in 2011. Kansas senior quarterback Dayne Crist has 763 passing yards through four games. Smith almost conquered that feat in one game.
Junior wide receiver Stedman Bailey and senior wide receiver Tavon Austin are a deadly duo.
After four games, West Virginia leads the nation with 441.5 yards per game through the air. The Mountainers also are third in the nation, averaging 53 points. The high-octane offense wears opponents down and causes the defense to give up huge plays.
This year, Smith completed 83.4 percent of his passes and threw for 1,728 yards and 20 touchdowns. He also has yet to throw an interception and leads the nation with a 208.4 quarterback rating.
Yes, Geno Smith is insane, but his wide receivers might be equally as good.
Bailey and Austin are both in the top five in the nation for receptions, yards and touchdowns.
In the victory over Baylor, Bailey had 13 receptions for 303 yards and five touchdowns. Austin was close behind with 14 receptions for 215 yards and two touchdowns.

Just behind the finish line of the Rim Rock Classic, fifteen Jayhawk runners stood with their arms around each other and smiled as family members took pictures. The results had not yet been released, but the runners knew they ran a successful race.
Minutes earlier, Donny Wasinger, senior men's team captain, had led a string of five consecutive Jayhawk runners across the finish in the top 10 of the race. It was the second team win in the two races for the Kansas men.
Mexico State. Senior Kyra Kilwein was the top finisher on the team and finished 21st overall.
The Jayhawks outlawed the 11th ranked Indiana Hoosiers for the victory and also beat Kansas State and Texas Tech in Saturday's race.
"We took down some really good teams that are consistently really strong every year." Wasinger said. "As a team I think we did perfect. We executed exactly the way we wanted and had a plan going in."
"My teammates helped me a lot with staying calm and confident". Kilwein said. "Coach Whittlesey also said I did really well, so I'm really happy."
Assistant coach Michael Whittlese similarly described the team's execution of the race plan as perfect. The team did a nice job of controlling the first mile and picking it up at the third mile, he said.
Seniors Kilwein and Wasinger were running in their last race as Jayhawks at their last course of Rim Rock Farm, but it was the first ever Rim Rock Classic. The course was changed for the event to be more spectator friendly.
"Rim Rock is my course, I know it very well," Kilwein said. "We did a 6k today, and it was a little

Wasinger, James Wilson, Evan Landes, Reid Buchannon and Gabe Gonzalez were separated by just eight seconds at the finish line.

Coach Whitlettes also enjoyed the new route for Rim Rock.
The woman's team was not as successful at grouping their front five runners together as the men did. The women's team finished sixth behind Michigan, Toledo, Indiana, Air Force and New
"Spectators could get everywhere and I thought the atmosphere was fantastic, so it was a good day." Whittlesey said.

Bill Self's contract extended until 2022
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Kansas Athletics announced on Friday that it agreed with men's basketball coach Bill Self on a contract that will keep him coaching at Allen Fieldhouse through the 2021-22 season.
The new contract increases the four-time Big 12 Coach of the Year's salary $480,000, raising his total annual salary to $3.856 million, starting after his previous contract ends following the 2017-18 season.
"We believe Bill Self is among a very small number of elite basketball coaches in this country," KU Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger said in a press release. "And this ensures that we compensate him accordingly. We are proud of the way he represents the University of Kansas, Kansas Athletics and the entire state of Kansas, and we are thrilled that he will remain our coach for at least another decade."
If Self remains at the university,
he will earn retention bonuses worth
$876,000 per year, paid in lump
sums in 2015 and 2018. The retention bonus is replaced in 2019 with an agreement where Self will receive a one-time payment of $6 million if he remains at Kansas through March of 2022.
Self's contract will not be paid using any taxpayer or tuition dollars.
In his nine seasons as the coach of the Jayhawks, Self has won eight straight conference titles, made it to Elite Eight appearances, two Final Four appearances and won the 2008 National Championship. His Kansas team's have never missed the NCAA tournament or have been seeded lower than fourth.
"I know there are other great jobs out there, but I know it doesn't take long to call roll for the best of the best, and I know that I'm fortunate to have one of those positions," Self said in a release by Kansas Athletics. "And you never say never, but I can't imagine myself coaching anywhere else as long as the people at Kansas want me to be here."

Watkins Memorial Health Center gives students looking for birth control several options
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschlichting@kansan.com
Male birth control pills might be on their way, until then, students can explore a variety of contraceptives at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Researchers at KU Medical Center are trying to develop a male version of oral birth control. According to 6 News Lawrence, the pill will not be released any time soon.
For now, males will have to stick to condoms or spermicide. Jenny Donham, Health Education Resource Office health coordinator, said male condoms are the most popular form of birth control on the KU campus. According to the Center for Disease Control, condoms are 85 percent effective.
"What happens is that many people are unaware of how to place it or use it correctly." Donham said. "When we look at human error, 15 percent of the time people mess that up."
Condoms are easily ripped and should not be torn open by teeth. They have expiration dates, which should be checked before every use. A frequent error of users is not pinching the tip when sliding on a
condom. An ejaculation can burst through a condom if no excess room exists at the tip.
Using condoms is important to Nick Ginther, a senior from Andover, Kan.
"It's part of being responsible" Ginther said. "In anything short of a monogamous, long-standing relationship, it would be dumb not for each person to hold themselves responsible rather than trusting that the other person is. It's cheaper than having a kid."
According to Boulder Valley Women's Health Center's website, the pull-out method is 73 percent effective and does not protect against transmitting STDs.
Women have many options for birth control. Non-hormonal options, or barrier methods, include female condoms, spermicide, diaphragm and contraceptive sponges. Hormonal birth control includes Intrauterine Devices (IUD), contraceptive implants, oral pills, vaginal rings, shots and patches.
"I'm on the pill," Danielle Yingling, a junior from Topeka said. "It's easy, and I'm good at remembering to take it at the right time. It's the most convenient for me, because it helps out with acne
and cramps all in the same pill."
Yingling has experimented with different forms of birth control to find which one is right for her. She plans to try an IUD next.
IUDs, such as Mirena, increase the thickness of the mucus within the cervix which prevents conception. It also decreases the mobility of the sperm and decreases the chances of a fertilized egg to implant on the wall of the cervix. Implanting an IUD is a procedure that should be done by a medical provider. The IUD normally comes in a form of a small "T" and is placed inside the uterus. Donham said it's nearly 99 percent effective, and depending on the brand, can last up to ten years. There are other IUDs that last three and five years as well.
The NuvaRing, a vaginal ring, is an easy and effective birth control method for college students said Donham. The disposable ring is self-placed and removed during the menstrual cycle. The ring lasts for one month. Another easy-to-remember birth control is the contraceptive patches, such as Ortho Evra. It's replaced weekly and can be placed on the upper arm, butt, back or hip.
Contraceptive implants, such as
Nexplanon, are implanted in the arm and remain effective for three years. The Depo-Provera shot lasts for three months. Common side effects of both of these drugs are weight gain up to 5 lbs., Donham said.
Side effects for any hormonal birth control include feeling more hormonal or sensitive, weight gain, spotting and blood clots. Hormonal birth control isn't effective for all women and can cause problems, Donham said. A medical provider should be consulted before using contraceptives.
"If anyone is taking a birth control that isn't working or they're feeling kind of weird or something just seems different or off, it's always best to listen to your body," Donham said. "We have a wonderful staff here at Watkins Memorial Health Center to help."
Donham said refraining from sex is the surefire way to avoid becoming pregnant. She advises that students talk with their partner about contraceptives and their boundaries before taking their clothes off.

iPhone or Android: that is the choice students now face when upgrading smart phones. With the recent release of the iPhone 5, many students are quick to get their hands on the latest handheld device from Apple.
Josh Maddux, a senior from Overland Park, just upgraded to the iPhone 5 from the iPhone 4 he has used for the past two years.
Graphics by Katie Kutsko
"I selected iPhone over Android solely because I've used multiple iPhones, and have loved all of them," Maddux said. "None of my previous iPhones ever gave me any problems."
While the iPhone 5 requires all new cords incompatible with previous Apple products, Maddux is not bothered as the changes come with an improved product. A drum major for the Marching Jayhawks, the iPhone 5 helps Maddux easily send emails to the band and watch previous performances on video.
and iPhone. Whichever phone they prefer, those students are usually stronger against selecting the other type of phone, despite similar processing speeds and cost. Both the iPhone 5 and the comparable Samsung Galaxy SIII have dual core processors and cost $199 to upgrade.
"A lot of people get the iPhone, and they don't know why." Keast said. "They want it just because it's trendy."
Tyler Keast, a Sprint sales associate, said KU students are evenly divided between selecting Android
Working at both the Sprint stores in Leavenworth and at the KU Medical Center, Keast noticed medical students tend to prefer the iPhone 5 because of its reliability, while more tech savvy students select Android options.
Joe Rassmussen, a junior from Prairie Village, has used Android phones for the past two and a half years. Rassmussen prefers the versatility, widgets and customizability of his Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which he upgraded a month ago.
is more user friendly, enough so that his grandpa would have little trouble using it, but said the applications are easier to upgrade on the Android operating system
"With the iPhone, what you see is what you get," Rassmussen said. "With Android, I can make it my phone."
Rassmussen admits the iPhone
Not all students are thrilled with Android, or are vying to get the iPhone 5. Kevin Colbert, a graduate student from Kansas City, Kan., and current Android user, is due for a phone upgrade shortly.
"I will probably end up buying an iPhone soon," Colbert said. "With a two-year phone update, the iPhone4 is free. I will most likely not buy the iPhone5 however because of the $200 cost, additional associated fees and lack of new features."
While Keast still thinks the Samsung Galaxy SIII is a slightly better product than the iPhone 5, he said selecting a phone is ultimately based on a student's preference.
"If you're looking for reliability, go for iPhone," Keast said. "But if you're looking for bells and whistles, Android is the phone for you."

Student Vice President arrested over weekend
CRIME
Brandon Woodard, a 22-year-old senior from Topeka, was pulled over during a traffic stop at 1.17 a.m. on the 200 block of West 23rd Street, said Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman.
The Student Senate vice president was arrested Saturday morning and booked into Douglas County Jail on suspicion of operating under the influence.
During the stop, the officer determined Woodard had been drinking and arrested him. According to the Douglas County booking report, Woodard posted
"it's Brandon's matter, but I have complete support for him during this process,"said Student Senate President
a $500 bond and was released Saturday at 3:42 a.m.
The charges are filed through the Lawrence Municipal Court. Jerry Little, a city prosecutor, said it would take several days before the court began processing the ticket or had details to release surrounding the case.
Woodard acknowledged the charge and released a statement.
"I currently have a court date set for mid-October and have no further comment until the ruling of the court," Woodard said.

According to Student Senate rules and regulations, senate members can be impeached and removed from office if "injury t

Presidential candidates prepare for first debate
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.
Obama told the United Nations that the violence in Libya "were attacks on America" and called on world leaders to help confront
100 YEARS AGO
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.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
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.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney arrives at his campaign headquarters in Boston, to prepare for the presidential debates. If Republican Mitt Romney doesn't perform well at the presidential debate on Wednesday, it's not for lack of trying. On one out of every four days this September, the Republican presidential nominee held preparation sessions for the first of his three debates with Democratic President Barack Obama.
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."
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.
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.
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.
RUDY'S PIZZERIA
"VOTED BEST PIZZA IN LAWRENCE"
"The aim of a much larger share of our aid must be the promotion of work and the fostering of free enterprise," Romney said. Romney said work is the key to lifting people out of poverty abroad by providing self-esteem and a grounding in reality.

Man to attempt free-fall jump
2
And, yes, he could break his neck while jumping from a mind-boggling altitude of 23 miles.
- A 48-year-old transient man was arrested Tuesday at 2:19 p.m. on the 200 block of West 10th on suspension of disorderly conduct and possessing marijuana or THC. Bond was set at $200. He was released.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — His blood could boil. His lungs could overinflate. The vessels in his brain could burst. His eyes could hemorrhage.
The 43-year-old former military parachutist from Austria is hoping to reach 690 mph, or Mach 1, after leaping from his balloon-hoisted capsule over the desert near Roswell.
But the risk of a gruesome death has never stopped "Fearless Felix" Baumgartner in all his years of skydiving and skyscraper leaping, and it's not about to now.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"So many unknowns," Baumgartner says, "but we have solutions to survive."
Next Monday over New Mexico, he will attempt the highest, fastest free fall in history and try to become the first skydiver to break the sound barrier.
Felix Baumgartner prepares to jump during the first manned test flight for Red Bull Stallons over Roswell, N.M.
He will have only a pressurized suit and helmet for protection as he tries to go supersonic 65 years after Chuck Yeaer, flying an experimental rocket plane, became the first human to go faster than the speed of sound.
Doctors, engineers and others on Baumgartner's Red
AIRBURNE ISLANDS.
Bull-sponsored team have spent as much as five years studying the risks and believe they have done everything possible to bring him back alive. He has tested out his suit and capsule in two dress rehearsals, jumping from 15 miles in March and 18 miles in July.
Baumgartner will be more than three times higher than the cruising altitude of jetliners when he hops, bunny-style, out of the capsule and into a near-vacuum where there is barely any oxygen and less than 1 percent of the air pressure on Earth.
- A 23-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Tuesday at 11:54 a.m. on the 100 block of north Michigan Street on suspicion of domestic battery. Bond was not set.
- A 27-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. on the 3200 block of west 24th Street on suspicion of driving while suspended and theft of property of services less than or equal to $25,000. Bond was set at $2,750. He was released.

Cambodian supporters of Mam Sonando, one of Cambodia's most prominent human rights defenders, protest in front of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court in Cambodia, on Oct. 1. 300 supporters gathered to demand his release.
Radio station owner sentenced for govt. criticism
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — A Cambodian court on Monday sentenced a dissident radio station owner to 20 years in prison on insurrection charges that critics claim are part of a political vendetta by the government.
Judge Chaing Sinat of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court said 71-year-old Mam Sonando was convicted and sentenced on four counts related to an alleged secessionist movement in eastern Cambodia. He was charged with instigating an alleged insurrection in Kratie province in May this year and inciting armed rebellion.
Mam Sonando's Beehive Radio is one of the country's few radio stations broadcasting criticism of Prime Minister Hun Sen's government.
Din Sophanara, the wife of Mam Sonando, told reporters that the verdict will be appealed. She said her husband was not involved in the alleged rebellion and had done nothing wrong.
"There is no real democracy in Cambodia. There is no justice," she said. Mam Sonando also was fined 10 million riel ($2,500).
The human rights group Amnesty International called the conviction "shocking and baseless" and said it "reflects the deteriorating situation of freedom of expression in Cambodia."
Three other people said to have been part of a political movement with Mam Sonando and accused of being major instigators of the insurrection were also sentenced in absentia. One received a 30-year prison term and the others 15 years each.
Several dozen armed security personnel kept the road in front of the court complex closed as a few hundred supporters of Mam Sonando demonstrated nearby.
The Cambodian Center for Human Rights condemned the verdict.
"Today's events represent a gross travesty of justice — an outrageous violation of Mam Sonando's right to freedom of expression and fair
trial rights, including the fundamental right to be deemed innocent until proven guilty," it said in a prepared statement.
It said no evidence was presented at the trial linking Mam Sonando to unrest involving a land dispute in Kratie province that the government alleged amounted to a rebellion. The statement also echoed widespread concerns among rights groups that Cambodia's courts act under the pressure of political influence.
The land dispute involved a 15,000-hectare (58-square-mile) tract of land that had been awarded as a concession to a Russian company but that was being farmed by villagers. The farmers resisted eviction, and in May, a 15-year-old girl was shot dead when hundreds of armed police stormed the settlement.
Land disputes have become a critical social and political issue, as powerful companies with influential connections take over land that has been worked by villagers, who receive little or no compensation.
It is not rare for deadly force to be employed in evictions.
A month before Mam Sonando was detained in July, Hun Sen had called for his arrest, charging that he was leading a plot to overthrow the government and establish a state within a state.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists had called on the government to drop the case. Shawn Crispin, the group's Southeast Asia representative, said Hun Sen "has a well-worn history of leveling unsubstantiated antisate charges against journalists to stifle criticism of the administration."
Mam Sonando had twice before been jailed for his reporting. Before he was pushed into a prison van Monday, he said he had no comment on the verdict but he was happy that he was "able to help the nation."

Argentinian plays Elvis Presley in new movie
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — John McInerny, an Argentine architect and part-time Elvis Presley impersonator, plays — what else? — an Elvis impersonator in a new movie touring film festivals.
Mchenny has the role of a character named Carlos Gutierrez in the Argentine film "The Last Elvis," which premiered earlier this year.
To promote the film, McInenny has temporarily set aside his career as an architect to tour Argentina in his glittery Las Vegas-style costumes and perform with his band, Elis Living.

Zuckerberg urged to expand in Russia
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg was in Moscow on Monday, where top officials were pressing him to expand the company's operations in Russia.
Russia's communications minister tweeted that Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedevurged the social media giant's founder to abandon plans to lure away Russian programmers and instead open a research center in Moscow.
A Facebook spokeswoman, who refused to be named because she wasn't authorized to discuss the matter with the media, said the company has no immediate expansion plans for Russia.
Zuckerberg, who ditched his trademark hoodie and jeans for a suit and tie for his meeting with Medvedev, was visiting Russia on a world tour of programming contests to identify new talent.
Russian Web companies often command larger shares of
the domestic market than their U.S. counterparts. Facebook has roughly 9 million users in Russia, while domestic clone VK has around 34 million.
Medvedev has cultivated a techfriendly image since launching his modernization program while president of Russia from 2008 until this May, when Vladimir Putin returned for his third term as president.
In honor of Constitution Day, the DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS and KU SCHOOL OF LAW present
America and Race The Status of Affirmative Action Under the U.S. Constitution
Tuesday, October 2nd, 7:30 PM @ The Dole Institute
The use of affirmative action in admissions decisions in higher education is before the Supreme Court for the first time since 2003. Fisher v. University of Texas will be argued at the Supreme Court on October 10, questioning whether universities can continue using race as a factor in undergraduate admissions decisions and, if so, how the race of an applicant may be considered.
Join the Dole Institute for its 2012 Constitution Day event. The panelists are David C. Frederick, who wrote a brief in support of the University on behalf of Distinguished Alumni of the University of Texas, and Erik S. Jaffe, former law clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas, who wrote a brief in support of the student denied admission. The program will be moderated by KU Law Professor Steve McAllister.

FFA creates couple
This Sept. 30 photo shows Rodrick Bloom and Julie McCraw who began a relationship based on Pokémon after Bloom sent a Free For All saying that he was looking for a "single, sober, non-smoking, Pokémon fan girl."

mhinman@kansan.com
"Aright, Ladies. At least one of you is a Single, Sober, Non-smoking, Poke-fanatic Who is Cute and likes to Cuddle. Please come find me stat," said the Free For All submission that started a relationship.
Roderick Bloom, a sophomore from Oakley, sent that FFA on Sept. 17.
He was right. The FFA doesn't just make you laugh; it can match you up with a potential soul mate.
"I just thought there had to be somebody like that." Bloom said.
Some girls who fit his description texted into the FFA saying they existed, but he should come find them. Since the FFA is anymorous, their efforts were somewhat worthless. Bloom's outlook was bleak, but he was persistent.
On Sept. 20, he made and carried a poster board sign around campus all day that said "Single, sober, non-smoking, poke fan girl who's cute and likes to cuddle, I'm right here."
Bloom said he made the sign "basically just to entertain people on campus."
It worked. He got several laughs and plenty of attention. Being a self-proclaimed attention-seeker, it was a mission accomplished.
But he also got the attention of one girl who wasn't really looking for him.
Julie McCraw, a freshman from Topeka, hadn't read the FFA, and she wasn't interested in Bloom or his sign the first time she saw him on campus that day.
"I thought he was with PETA people, so I didn't even bother to look." McCraw said.
The second time she passed him, she saw the first couple of words on the sign, but she was on
her bike.
"I wasn't going to turn around," she said. "I'm an awful driver."
When Bloom texted McCraw the next day, he didn't think anything would come of it. He had talked to two girls who texted back to the FFA, but both conversations ended after the introduction.
The third time McCraw saw Bloom that day, Bloom told her that he and his friend had just seen her. She finally stopped and read the whole sign. She thought it was funny and he seemed cool, so she asked if she could give him her number.
However, the greeting text to McCraw, "Hey, this is Roderick
from the other day," turned into consistent talking. McCraw's first question for Bloom was, "What's your favorite Pokemon?" His is Arcanine. Hers is Squiritle. Pokemon was their icebreaker.
"I was just looking for someone who knew what it was and would watch it with me" "Bloom said."
SINGLE, SOBER,
NON-SMOKING,
Poké FAN GIRL
WHO'S CUTE
I'M RIGHT HERE
The two hung out on Friday night in McCraw's dorm room. They listened to Dirty Orchestra by Black Violin, which McCraw describes as "gangster hip hop violin," and a lot of alternative music. She didn't want to set a certain mood. She, like Bloom, had low expectations for the relationship. She expected him to stay "in the far reaches of the friend zone."
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Roderick Bloom holds the sign he made on Sept. 20. He walked around campus, with it all day looking for the girl who fit his FFA description.
She kept him company at the party, and the two ended up staying awake all night talking.
Three days later, Bloom and McCraw became Facebook official.
They cuddle often, as Bloom's description required. They also sing together frequently, McCraw said the singing doesn't always sound good, but it's fun. They watched "The Lion King" and sang along to all the songs together.
"It it's too early to tell if it will be extremely long or anything like that," Bloom said, "but I think we're going to have a really good time for however long it lasts."
Bloom said he thinks the relationship will be "quite the romance"

D did you sleep well last night? Seriously, it's an important question.
Benefit from better sleep habits
Chances are you've pulled a few late nights already. A full seven to nine hours of sleep during the week doesn't happen. Just wait until weekend to catch up, right?
Big mistake. By catching up on missed hours from the week, your body's sense of time shifts. Before you know it, you're itching to stay late on not only Saturday night, but Sunday too. And, next thing you know, the week's off to a slow, tired start.
You've probably heard that you should sleep between seven and nine hours per night, but did you know that not doing so could increase your chances of catching a cold, contracting diabetes and even make you less attractive?

GO TO SLEEP AND WAKE UP AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY (IF IT'S POSSIBLE)
By Angela Hawkins
ahawkins@kansan.com
Every night. Nearly the same time. This lets your body know exactly what it's dealing with and allows it to get comfortable with that routine. Sometimes it's not possible; that's true. Sometimes college kids don't even get sleep. I know, but if sleep quality is important to you, this is one way to get it.
You're really wearing a Kentucky shirt in Mrs. E's? Way too soon...
STOP DRINKING CAFFEINATED DRINKS BY 2 P.M.
Drink the coffee in the morning and have your tea with lunch. After that, give your body time to get the energy out of your system. Even if you continue drinking something caffeinated, take it easily as you start reach the evening hours. Give your body a break.
STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL THREE HOURS BEFORE YOU GO TO BED
TO BED.
He said it first, not me. Apparently it's somewhat similar to the caffeine situation. Instead of keeping you awake, alcohol keeps you from reaching the higher quality sleep. Lay off it a bit.
There isn't a good excuse for not seeing the outdoors while you're a student here. On such a beautiful campus with so many opportunities to walk from class to class, how you could avoid the sun would be a much bigger challenge.
DON'T EXERCISE WITHIN FOUR HOURS OF GOING TO BED
To all the night owls at the Rec center, this one's for you. Exercising increases your heart rate and prevents your body from calming down. If you can't calm down, going to sleep will be more of a challenge and getting high-quality sleep may be even more elusive.
Go ahead, try it. It costs you nothing. You'll benefit by being healthier, and most likely, spending less money on your caffeinated beverage of choice.
Open a window. Walk to class.
Enjoy a cup of coffee on a café patio.
Breus says that this helps your biological clock orient itself.
If, for some reason, you prefer to be a zombie during the week, by all means continue. However, adhering to a somewhat reliable sleep schedule and cutting back your afternoon intake of caffeine, alcohol and exercise may be enough to give you a little more natural energy.
Sweet dreams, my fellow Jayhawks.

RELATIONSHIPS
Sex changes friendships
Hawkins is a junior majoring in journalism from Scranton.
Being surrounded by seventh graders for eight hours a day always causes me to remember much more of my own time in middle school than I'd like to. One message that many of us were preached around that age and even in high school was that sex changes everything in relationships.
But just like many of us would like to forget our middle school experiences, we should try to forget that idea too. Sex that is not a one-night stand does change a lot. But it affects non-relationships more than ones that are preexisting because in committed relationships, generally speaking, there's already an understanding of what partners can expect from each other when the lights go off.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
There's nothing wrong with sex outside of a relationship, and a study out of Michigan State University even goes so far as to find that such casual sexual relations are neither emotionally nor psychologically damaging. Casual hookups are not for everyone, the study said, but they meanwhile aren't harmful to those who wish to partake.
Regardless of anyone's stance on the morality of getting frisky with someone you're not committed to, there is always something fundamentally different between two friends who don't have sex, two friends who have had sex once and two people who frequently hang out and also hook up. The same study finds that though some friendships could regress back to their original ways after the two have had sex, the number of them that didn't survive the change was stagering.
As the Michigan State study finds, these "casual" sexual relationships tend to be anything but. Couples usually enter them because they appear simple. But they can often be just as complicated or more so than a committed bond because said partners frequently develop a fear that one will fall harder than the other. For that reason, when those relationships end, the friendships often die with them.
It's important here to note that sex or any other form of intimacy doesn't always lead to relationships or anything close. Sometimes it does. But sometimes it ends up like an attempt to light a firework after dropping it in water: it sounds like it could be successful but usually still leaves you with something non-workable and anticlimactic.
But unless it's a one-time fluke, sex or anything leading up to it changes non-relationships because it forces us to reconsider our connection to that person because there's nothing casual or natural about people having sex on a regular basis who are "just friends."
intimate relationship, sexual activity shouldn't affect much.
Meanwhile sex in a relationship that's already committed is so mainstream that unless the couple is intensely sexually conservative, said matters of the flesh usually don't change the relationship in any major way. Against the backdrop of an already
After all, there's already somewhat of an expectation of intimacy on some level when two people are committed to each other, especially for college students and other adults in those relationships.
If sex really changes that much in a pre-existing relationship, the couple should probably reconsider their expectations of one another (and also communicate very clearly and openly about them) or reevaluate their being together.
Here, sex becomes a personal problem rather than a relationship problem and must be addressed. In the end the relationship can fail if it's not handled in a healthy manner.
And finally we have to let go of the long, ingrained idea in American young teen culture that sex changes so much in our lives. There's no denying that it doesn't matter. After all, bad or no sex can be fatal to otherwise great relationships.
But we shouldn't undermine everything else that makes a relationship what it is. Sex is a huge part of culture, but when "you" and "me" become a "we," it shouldn't be that complicated.
Sex may tend to rock the boat in our friendships, but if it doesn't totally change us, it shouldn't change our exclusive relationships either.

Leaders inspire change through social media
By Brett Phillippe
bhk@linne@kansan.com
H have you ever wanted to incite social change in our world but didn't know where to start?
There is a large group of men and women using the realm of social media to try and change the world. Starting Sept. 22, men and women across the globe will be meeting in various locations for "The Social Good Summit" to trade big ideas that meet new media and will create innovative solutions to the issues pertaining to the world today, according to the Mashable.com.
Leaders from different areas of the world, like United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, American writer deepak Chopra, the founder of the famous social media website Mashable.com Pete Cashmore, and the director of social strategy for the American Red Cross Wendy Harman, are in attendance to attempt to, "explore how communities and audiences are connecting with each other through social and digital innovations to solve global problems."
Some of the things these individuals plan to use social media and technology for include fighting different diseases, affecting businesses, and issues of spirituality.
I find this fascinating because with the world the way it is, having problems and disagreements where we, as a social conscious group, are heading we have all of this technology and, through the
If we come together and use the resources at our disposal of social media and new technologies, we can really take a hold of the vision put forth by the leaders of the first annual Social Good Summit, and better the futures of the next generations.
If you would like to join this cause, there is a social cause group that meets in Lawrence. They meet most Wednesday mornings at Signs of Life coffee shop from 7-9 a.m. At these meetings, the members discuss the new facets and improvements in the social media arena, as well as how they could use them for business and to improve the world around us.
This is a very important question that we should not just put to our politicians or leaders, but we need to take up the responsibility. If we do our part and put our technology to use, we as the next generation could get our voices heard.
What makes this even more interesting is that you do not have to be a prominent leader to make a difference in the fight for social good. You can take action in one of the most important discussions of our day. What you can do is attend or set up a social good meet-up in your city. The ultimate goal for these meet-up groups is to answer the question, "How can new technology and new media create solutions for the biggest problems facing our communities?" The secondary goal is to create one of the biggest, most global, and most powerful conversations the world has ever seen.

BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousougian@kansan.com
HUNTINGTON
1. Kansas State (4-0)
Coach Bill Snyder and his players earned a well deserved bye week after a huge win on the road against Oklahoma. Kansas State knocked off the Sooners and are sitting on top of the conference. Their upcoming game against Kansas can only add to their successful season.
WV
2. West Virginia (4-0)
Teams in the top 25 shouldn't be giving up 63 points. But West Virginia was fortunate that they had senior quarterback Geno Smith. Smith's eight touchdown passes lifted the Mountaineers to victory in the wild shootout. Coach Dana Holgorsen knows his defense has to do better when they go on the road to Texas.
THE TEXAS GAME CENTER
3. Texas (4-0)
Texas was challenged by Oklahoma State in a tough environment. However, the Longhorns remained focused. Sophomore running back Joe Bergeron pushed his way through for the game-winning touchdown with 29 seconds left to keep their status as one of the top tier teams in the conference.
TCU
HORNED FROGS
4. Texas Christian (4-0)
Texas Christian's offense has not been hot when it comes to scoring. But their defense has been the key reason for their 4-0 start so far. They've given up 29 points this season and are second in the nation in points allowed. After a weekend of high-scoring Big 12 games, TCU's defense will be tested in a couple of conference encounters this season.
Q
5. Oklahoma (2-1)
Oklahoma wished that they could have played this week to get their mind off last week's loss to Kansas State. But the bye week did give coach Bob Stoops a chance to work with his teams on areas where they can improve before visiting in-state rivals Texas Tech and hosting Texas the following week.
BAYLOR
BEARS
6. Baylor (3-1)
Senior quarterback Nick Florence proved to the rest of the conference that Baylor's offense is as good as any in the Big 12. Even though they burned the scoreboard with 63 points, their defense will have a hard time competing in the Big 12 and staying in the top 25 after giving up 70 points to West Virginia.
OKLAHOMA STATE
UNIVERSITY
7. Oklahoma State (2-2)
Oklahoma State's top-ranked scoring offense is not enough to earn a spot in the top 25. Their inconsistency has hurt them immensely. They've gone 0-2 against ranked opponents this season and will use this bye week to regroup before visiting Kansas.
T
8. Texas Tech (4-0)
Texas Tech was not held to high standards before the season. But now that they are 4-0, the Red Raiders are trying to show that they can play in the conference. While they picked up a win against Iowa State, they still have a lot to prove before being labeled as one of the competitive teams in the Big 12. They will have that opportunity as their next five opponents are currently ranked in the top 25.
STATE
9. Iowa State (3-1)
Iowa State suffered their first loss of the season at home to Texas Tech. Iowa State wants to rebound, but have to forget last week's loss when they visit Texas Christian.
KU
10. Kansas (1-3)
Kansas struggled twice to finish games where they held a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter. Their inability to finish games against mediocre teams during their non-conference schedule has hurt them going into the conference season. Fans can only hope that coach Charlie Weis used this bye week to work on their holes before visiting Kansas State.

Snyder keeps Wildcats on top
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. — There has to be a reason to seek out the sleepy college town that's home to Kansas State University.
It's two hours by car from Kansas City, out in the heart of the Flint Hills, tucked away in a picturesque valley well off Interstate 70. It's off Exit 313, for those who have time for the drive, past flowing fields of golden wheat and the natural tall grass acreages of the Konza Prairie.
Two decades ago, Bill Snyder gave people a reason to find it.
The nondescript offensive coordinator from Iowa showed up one day and took over a program that had been winless in 27 games, proclaiming that the "opportunity for the greatest turnaround in college football history exists here today." It wasn't hyperbole, either. Snyder actually believed it, and then made
it work, taking the downtrodden program to previously unthinkable heights.
Now, after stepping away for a brief retirement, the maestro of Manhattan is doing it again.
Relying on the same principles and instilling the same beliefs in a new generation of players, Snyder has the No. 7 Wildcats off to another 4-0 start. The ranking is their highest since the 2003 season, when Kansas State won its first conference title since FDR was in office, and represents yet another benchmark for a coach who keeps moving his team ever higher.
"People asked me what I thought of him coming back, and I said, 'What he's doing is proving to everyone that it wasn't luck the first time around,' said former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer, who once labeled Snyder not merely coach of the year or decade but "coach of the century."
Perhaps now, he's coach of the millennium.

Kansas State is coming off a dramatic 24-19 victory over theno. 6 Oklahoma, the highestranked victory in a true road game in school history, and its first in Norman since 1997.
The price of gas is four times what it was in 1988, when he first drove into town. Perestroika is a distant memory, George Michael and Gloria Estefan no longer top the charts, and the chic style popularized by television shows such as "Magnum, P.I." is considered garish at best.
"He hasn't changed a bit," added offensive lineman Ryan Lilja, now a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. "Watching how his teams play, how his players react to him, the guy hasn't changed a bit."
Just about everything else has changed, though.
The game has changed, too. The wishbone offense run by Switzer has been replaced by pass-happy attacks predicated on spreading the field.
The Wildcats have a throwback Heisman Trophy contender in quarterback Collin Klein, a Darren Sproles-like dynamo in running back John Hubert, and a bend-but-dont-dare-break defense that made life miserable for Sooners quarterback Landry Jones, expected to be a first-round NFL draft pick.
mer wide receiver Kevin Lockett, who was part of the program's foundation in the 1990s and whose son, Tyler Lockett, is now a sophomore on the team.
Some of the game's greatest minds, such as the late Joe Paterno at Penn State, have had their reputations sullied by scandal. The pursuit of big TV contracts has caused seismic shifts in the game, and old rivalries have gone by the wayside through unsettling waves of conference realignment.
In short, they have all the ingredients to make an improbable run at a national championship.
The senior is the quintessential "yes sir, no sir" player of yester-year, espousing the same values as Snyder: hard work, commitment, unselfishness. Along the way, Klein has emerged as one of the nation's most dynamic playmakers, piling up touchdowns at a record-breaking pace.
As if anything is improbable with Snyder stalking the sideline.
Klein may be the perfect example.
"I think society has changed a great deal. We all recognize that," Snyder said during an interview this week. "Our children are a product of today's society, so consequently, yes, they've changed. But when I say they've changed, it's an all-encompassing statement. Everybody has."
"His value system has not changed. It's the same value system that was in place 20 years ago," said Snyder, pausing to sip from his steaming cup of drip coffee (no Starbucks here).
"Bill's been described in a number of ways, but there's nothing he does that surprises me," said for-
"We have a lot of young people like that," Snyder said. "We have a lot of young guys who have a very intact value system that might be a little antagonistic to today's society, collectively, overall. There are some changes, but it doesn't embrace every person you have in your program."
remains the animated Disney classic "Pinocchio" for the values it represents.
Indeed, in a world that moves at an increasingly rapid pace, Kansas State's program is in many ways a time capsule. Inside the football complex, the expansive room overlooking the stadium that bears Snyder's name is still called the "Big 8 Room," and logos still adorn the walls for Nebraska, Missouri and Colorado — schools no longer part of the Big 12 Conference.
And while Snyder believes that most kids have changed, those he recruits have not.
"I don't know that I've changed a great deal, other than what age does to you," said Snyder, who will turn 73 on Oct. 7, the day after Kansas State plays Kansas for the Governor's Cup.
Nearly everybody, at least.
Snyder still wears the same Nike Cortez shoes in vogue last century. He still wears the same antiquated eye glasses, pulls out old windbreakers from bygone bowl games, and his favorite film

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What golfer has made the most appearances in a Ryder Cup Team?
A: Nick Faldo
www.rydercup.com
THE MORNING BREW Football fans' suffering ends with referees' return
The National Football League referee lockout was one of the most influential events for the future of sports.
While America suffered three weeks of miserable officiating - in some instances, altering the outcomes of games - the security of all major sports was being set in stone for at least the next 10 years.
It was difficult watching the integrity of many games deteriorate due to sub-par officiating. The replacement referee fiasco culminated with the "Iaccurate Reception" or "Fall Mary" in the Monday night prime-time game, handing the Seahawks a win over Packers.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
During the lockout, we saw America's most popular sport in a tailspin. Egos and stubborn sides clashed to seek their own benefits, not the benefits of the most important aspect of sports, the fans. For an agonizingly long three weeks, the NFL created a nightmare situation for any sport and showed all sports why — at all costs — lockouts need to be avoided.
Audiences expect the highest quality
product, whether it is the best players or best officials, each kick off, first pitch or opening tip. The leaders of these sports observed the disaster of the first three weeks of this NFL season and will avoid similar experiences in their own sports.
If your team survived the first few weeks, be thankful for the lockout. It will help all sports for years to come. Packers fans, however, may feel a little bit different.
Rvder Cup shows golf's exciting side
In a game where etiquette is strongly preached and audiences must abide by a moral code, the Ryder Cup is the one moment where golf is let off the leash.
If you aren't familiar with the tournament, it is a competition between golfers from Europe and the United States. There are multiple formats of play, all leading to achieving a point total higher than the other team. The passion of the event is what sets it apart.
Audiences intensely cheer for their side throughout the competition. One of the most significant aspects is celebrating a missed putt or poor shot by the opponent, something never seen in traditional golf.
Think about the passion that young Tiger Woods displayed in his prime. His excitement energized the crowd. That is what the Ryder Cup is all about. We see teammates high-fiving each other and truly enjoying the spirit of playing for something bigger than themselves.
KU
Golf is one of the most individual sports played. But for one weekend, teams are created,
partnerships are formed and we see a side of golf that we rarely get to see — passion, nationalism, unity and teamwork. All wonderful things about sports that sometimes hide in golf's isolation. We are blessed to see their combination in an event that always proves to be exciting to watch.

Historic photo captures Orioles' 1966 triumphant series
BALTIMORE — Forty-six years later, the photograph still gives people goose bumps. There's Dave McNally, Baltimore's "other" No. 19, the triumphant pitcher who grin is as wide as his native Montana. And Andy Etchebarren, the catcher who poised to embrace
him, mask still on and mitt in hand.
And there, on the left, is a jubilant Brooks Robinson, or at least a chunk of him: the Orioles' third baseman is airborne and looks as if he parachuted into Memorial Stadium. Why? Why? The Birds had just swept the 1966 World Series in four straight games.
"Ive autographed so many of those
pictures", said Robinson, "and people still ask, 'How did you jump so high?' I tell them it was trick photography"
A framed copy of the picture hangs in the study of Robinson's house, a flashback to a seminal moment in Orioles lore.
"It was the most exciting moment of my (23-year) career," the 75-year-old
Hall of Famer said. "That picture is a big part of Orioles' history. That picture's got legs."
The photo, taken by The Baltimore Sun's Paul Hutchins, was named sports action shot of 1966 by the Baltimore Press Photographers Association, which also made Hutchins its photographer of the year.

Aggressive offense is new king
Mohammed Jawad
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
It's a true display of the times in college football: offense is king.
A weekend with both Kansas and Kansas State on a bye week should have provided some time for local fans to breathe.
Instead, the Big 12 had the highest scoring game you will see all season at any level of college football.
It was early Saturday morning when Baylor and West Virginia managed to score a combined 133 points for the game, a crazy amount of points that even made EA Sports gamers put down their controllers and applaud the two team's efforts.
It's an incredible change to the college football landscape, but it's something that's been anticipated.
Geno Smith of West Virginia put on a display for the ages with 656 yards passing and eight touch downs.
The most impressive stat for Smith is that he only threw six incompletes the entire game. Somehow he finds a way to be accurate through all of his progressions, whether it's completing a short pass for three yards or throwing the long ball to his receivers. He's truly a quarterback with overall efficiency and has the poise to lead the Mountaineers to an impressive bowl game by the end of the season.
Don't forget that Baylor also showed impressive resilience in this game. Despite being down three touchdowns for part of the second half, the Bears continued to fight back and managed to rack up 63 points in the losing effort.
Their quarterback Nick Florence threw for an incredible 581 yards in the loss and was just a mere sidemen in the game. He's not Robert Griffin III, but he shows that the basis for the Baylor offense stayed intact this year, and will be a force to be reckoned with later on as well.
This truly was a game for the ages, but it also explained the age that college football is currently in.
In college football, defenses continue to give up an insane amount of yards and points every weekend. Despite rigorous study by defensive coaches and players in film rooms across the country, offenses are still getting the best of the defenses that line up opposite them on Saturdays.
The fans love this style of play. The way you get people in the seats is to score a lot of points, and so far this season the top teams in the Big 12 have been able to do that. The more points put up in the game, the more people will show up.
With the conference season in full swing, every team is going to have to score a lot of points in order to compete. Without an above average offense, teams will be left in the dust because offense is all that matters in this conference.
Yes, you need to make defensive stops, but for victories, teams will have to outscore their opponents instead of relying on their defenses to make stops.

Head coach Charlie Weis signals to coaches during pre-game warm ups. This is Weis' second conference game as the Jayhawks coach. The Jayhawks play Kansas State this Saturday.
KANSAS FACE OFF
Weis urges Jayhawk fans to focus more on meeting an in-state rival this weekend
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
The bye week is over and Kansas football is getting ready to return to action against Kansas State in Manhattan on Saturday.
Both Kansas coach Charlie Weis and Kansas State coach Bill Snyder had an opportunity to speak to the media on Monday's teleconference call where they touched on the upcoming game.
B-RAD IS RAD
Weis gave a good amount of praise for senior cornerback
Bradley McDougald's play this season. To date,McDougald has a team-leading 34 tackles; along with three pass deflections, two forced fumbles and two interceptions.
Weis may have known McDougald was capable of these numbers at the beginning of the season, but until play started he didn't have much proof of it.
"From the day I saw him he looked special," Weis said. "He looks like a heck of a player."
Weis said McDougald's athleticism make him one of the few guys on defense he can count on to make plays citing McDougald's
pass coverage and interceptions.
pass coverage and interceptions.
"He's been invaluable to our group," he said.
STOP HATING MISSOURI, START
HATING KANSAS STATE
It was one of the Weis' pivotal messages from the teleconference. Weis said that since he got to Lawrence he has noticed many fans put too much attention on the Kansas-Missouri rivalry even with the Tigers switch conferences.
Weis urged for Jayhawk fans to direct their anger 85 miles to the west and begin taking the K-State rivalry as seriously as the Wildcats
do.
"If you're at Kansas State it's 'Let's go beat Kansas,' Weis said. "And the last three years they've laid a pretty good whooping on us."
He said with Missouri now playing in the Southeastern Conference the team is pushing its focus to the in-state rivalry.
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder echoed Weis's sentiment, saying that his players are always ready to go for this game and that there is no need to try and push them to get more pumped up to play Kansas.
"I don't think you have to find
ways to motivate young guys because it means an awful lot to them on both sides" Snyder said.
Just like Kansas, the Wildcats will be coming off a bye week. For the Jayhawks, that may prove to be a needed break. However, the Wildcats had been rolling, winning their first four games by a combined total of 162-62. Snyder wasn't upset with the timing of the bye week but instead deferred his judgment of it until a later date.
"The bottom line is how well we play next Saturday," Snyder said. "Next Monday I'll have an answer."

RUGBY
Creation of rugby complex helps team
JOSEPH DAUGHERTY
jdaugherty@kansan.com
The Kansas jayhawks rugby club once struggled to schedule games and practices, but University alumni and former members of the club alleviated these problems with a $350,000 donation for the creation of the Westwick rugby complex.
The rugby club has been playing at the Westwick Rugby Complex since 1997. Before that they played at the Shenk Sports Complex on the corner of 23rd and Iowa Streets, but the team had problems scheduling games and practices there.
"We had so many problems scheduling times to play games and practice," coaching coordinator Rick Renfro said. "So we needed our own place to play, and plus we went overseas and saw how cool it was to have your own clubhouse and field."
Renfro added that they used the donations from alumni to buy the field, which was $200,000, and another $150,000 for the lights and the sprinkler system. Renfro and many other volunteers involved with the rugby club maintain the fields. Renfro himself has been a part of the rugby club since 1975 when he was a player. He has since filled numerous roles with the club. In his words, he has done all of the 101 things that it takes to
run a club.
Rugby is often thought of as football without pads, but Connor Taft, a senior from Chicago and captain of the University rugby club, said if he had to sum rugby up that it would be more like full contact basketball.
"The rules between basketball and rugby are really similar." Taft said. "When you have the ball you're on offense and vice versa and there is continuous play until there is an infraction of the rules. It's all about two on one."
Since rugby is not as popular in America as football and basketball, knowledge of the rules is not as great, so Taft broke down the main points of rugby.
Taft noted that in rugby you can only pass the ball backwards or sideways, unlike football where you can throw it forward. There is tackling involved, so in that regard it is like football, but when you run the ball into the endzone or the tryzone as it is referred to in rugby, you have to touch the ball to the ground. There are also scrims, where the two teams are interlocked and fighting to roll the ball out with their feet. These scrims usually take place when there is a penalty or a dead ball.
The Kansas Jayhawks rugby club is made up of two different clubs: the actual university team and a men's club team.
With both the clubs combined
The University team plays five or six games that count toward its actual college record. They play other men's teams on occasion, but those games do not count toward their record. The club participates in the Heart of America
at the start of a season, there is usually about 50 to 60 guys who come out to play. Taft said that by the end of the season there are usually about 30 to 40 guys who stick around and commit to the team.
Rugby coach Dave Hamill said that the club has been decent over the last few years, but the main draw is the tradition of touring every year, which is when the club go all over the world and plays different rugby teams.
conference and if they win the conference, it competes in what is called westerns. If the team wins the Westerns, there is a possibility it will compete for a national championship.
The team won its first two
matches and lost the third this season. Coach Hamill is looking to build off of their previous results.
"We just got back from Aspen and we won our first two matches." Hamill said. "We beat the Aspen team which is one of the best clubs out there so that is really good for us."

For many students, the hardest part of college may not be studying for tests or acing a research paper but simply graduating without a mountain of debt to pay off, as revealed in a Pew Research Center study released last week.
According to the findings, one in five U.S. households owed student debt in 2010, a number that has more than doubled in the past 10 years and has jumped 4 percent since 2007. The study also shows that almost all students who attend four-year universities graduate with debt, in average ranging from $24,600 to $34,600 based on family income.
This study was no surprise to William Elliott III, an associate professor in the School of Welfare. Elliott released a paper this year about the burden of college costs. He said loans have been making up a greater portion of student financial aid packages for the past 20 years, and parents are unable to contribute as much as they did before the Great Recession in 2008, especially in middle-income families.
Elliott said the high amounts of debt will continue to rise in the next several years.
"It's a major problem for literally millions of Americans." Elliott said. "It will continue to be a problem and weigh down our economy in the years to come."
Noah Quinn, a peer educator with the University's Student Money Management Services (SMMS), said that in 2009, 59 percent of KU graduates had student loan debt at an average of $20,500.
Jessica Montoya, a junior from Garden City, is the kind of student these findings reflect. Montoya expects that, by the time she
graduates in 2014, she will be about $20,000 in debt, an amount she has tried to limit by taking on two jobs and creating a personal budget.
"My parents tell me, "Take what you need, don't take extra," Montoya said. "I take the least amount of loans I can each semester, but so far I'm about $9,000 in debt."
Montoya receives scholarships and grants through the University, and her parents pay her rent. However, she has worked at an on-campus job throughout her college career in order to finance her living expenses. This summer, Montoya tacked on another job and is now working 20 hours per week.
"I felt like I was living beyond my means." Montoya said. "I hated taking money from my parents, and I wanted to be able to afford some more stuff on my own."
In Elliott's paper, "The College Cost Burden and the Role of Race, Income, and College Assets," he reports that, as of 2006, about 70 percent of dependent students at four-year colleges had jobs. However, he
said students should begin working and saving money at an earlier age to avoid debt.
This is what Corinne Westman, a 2012 University graduate, did to fund entertainment expenses and pay for textbooks. Westman began saving money in high school and continued working about 12 hours per week throughout her college career. To further offset costs, Westman increased her credit hours per semester to graduate in three years with about $8,000 in student loan debt, which she will begin paying off this November.
"This way, I can build up a little bit more money before I want to move out," Westman said. "I'm trying to do what I can to knock it all out."
Now, Westman is living with her parents in Wichita and paying off the interest on her loans.
Although taking more credit hours to graduate early may not
"I miss KU a lot. I'll certainly miss the experience of that fourth year," she said. "But as far as finances go, yeah, it was worth it."
sound feasible or easy, Westman said she is glad she made that decision.
As Elliot continues to research the costs of post-secondary education, he said the financial burden should shift from the individual student to the state and federal government. He said education benefits individuals and society as a whole, and funding children's education should be a community effort as well.
"Colleges need to find ways to reduce costs, and community members could contribute to savings accounts or scholarship programs," Elliott said. "The federal and state government needs to see college as a necessary investment in children's lives, for the future of the child and the future of the country."

Libraries celebrate Banned Books Week
EMILY BROWN
ebrown@kansan.com
This week marks the 30th anniversary of Banned Books Week, an annual event hosted in libraries across the country that brings awareness to censorship and commemorates the freedom of information.
The Lawrence Public Library is celebrating the event by doing banned books trading cards and a read-out in the lobby of select passages from challenged or banned books.
In the summer, the library put out a call for local artists to do small-scale works on paper inspired by a banned book, artist or author. Visitors to the library can take one of these trading cards per day this week.
Next Saturday from 2-4 p.m., the library will be hosting a readout in its lobby. Local personalities and people off the street will read out loud five-minute passages from banned books. If students are interested in reading a passage from a challenged book, they should contact marketing director Susan Brown at sbrown@lawrencepubliclibrary.org.
Brown said there are a variety of books that have been challenged or banned over the years.
["There] are books like Fifty Shades of Grey, where they say this is smutty and should be kept behind the counter at the library, or classics like Animal Farm that has been banned by communist governments for its political thought," she said. "There have been children's books, often things like Harry Potter because of witchcraft. It is just shocking to
look at the list of books that have been banned over the years.
Ryan Gash, a senior from Derby, said he doesn't think an idea, no matter how terrible, should ever be censored.
"Ideas must enter the market place so that they can be examined and found either to be acceptable or wanting," he said. "Censorging thought is never acceptable, because who determines what is acceptable?"
The University's international area studies department also has its own banned books exhibit showcasing foreign books and films that have been banned in foreign countries. The exhibit is located on the fifth floor of Watson library.
Mary Raple, the international area studies program assistant, said that in many foreign countries, the punishment for writing or publishing a controversial work can range from jail time to execution.
"The right to free speech is often taken for granted in the U.S," she said. "During Banned Books Week, we are reminded of the importance of what our facefathers fought for, and that freedom of speech is not a right that is available to all citizens of all nations."

New blog showcases students' style

It's a Sunday afternoon in a white duplex on Alabama Street where three students are lounging on a couch, computer in lap, each one hard at work clicking away.
John Reynolds, a senior studying graphic design, is working on the new designs. Emily Paulson, a junior studying journalism, is tweeting and pinning away. Supervising the two is Sabrina Liedtke, a senior studying journalism and the founder of the new blog, styleonthehill.com.

Style on the Hill features pictures of outfits, accessories and objects that Liedtke deems stylish on campus or around Lawrence. The site has only been around for three weeks but is quickly gaining recognition around campus.
Liedtke started the blog as a way to express her creative side on campus.
"On Facebook, it reaches 8,000 people a week." Liedtike said.
Her idea for the blog came after interning at style.com, where she worked closely with Tommy Ton, a photoblogger for the site. She accompanied him when he shot

pictures of style on the streets, in department stores and in vintage shops in New York. She applies her new skills and knowledge from her internship to the blog.
"I learned that it's important to express your own personal view and let it reflect what you think about fashion," Liedtke said.
The blog captures KU students' everyday fashion choices, but it also shows the lifestyle of Lawrence through pictures of buildings, art and various activities.

Nike shorts and T-shirts are the weekday norm, Liedtke was always asked why she was so dressed up for class. She said girls would come up to her and ask if she had a presentation in class that day. In her home-town of San Francisco, dressing up is the norm and she hopes that this blog will inspire students to dress a little "cooler."
"Style is just art in everyday life."
Liedtke said.
"It's almost like a pop culture hub of Lawrence and KU. There has never been something like this that people can go on and see people they know," said Reynolds, graphic designer for Style on the Hill.

"It has a potential to become really big," Liedtke said. "I'm very lucky that no one else had done this."
Liedke is still taking in the whole experience. She doesn't worry about the future, but she hopes that the blog continues to improve and becomes a bigger presence on campus.
Style on the Hill not only has a blog, but a Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook page. In the height of blogs and social media, everyone is constantly online. According to The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, 86 percent of internet users ages 18 to 29 use social networking sites such as Facebook. In addition to commenting on the blog, the Style on the Hill Facebook page allows students to "tag" their friends in featured photos.

After the extensive coverage of the presidential election, including the secret videos, SNL spoofs, pundit opinions, theme songs and unsavory political ads, it is time to hear from the candidates themselves in a moderated setting.
The first of three presidential debates will air tonight at 8 p.m. Central Time on C-SPAN, ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC, as well as cable news channels such as CNN, Fox News and MSNBC. Jim Lehrer, host of NewsHour on PBS, will moderate the debate, which will focus on domestic policy.
Candidates are expected to speak on the topics of the economic system, health care, commitments to social programs and the size
of government.
"For this first debate, the whole thing is important," said Burdett Loomis, a professor in the department of political science. "It will show what the relationship of government to the citizen will be over the next 30 or 40 years, and honestly I can't imagine anything that's more important to someone who is 20 right now than that kind of question."
Jacob Peterson, a senior from Osage City and president of KU College Republicans, said he will vote for Mitt Romney because of Romney's plan for the tax code and solutions for the economy.
Peterson said he thinks the debate will show that President Barack Obama has failed in solving many of the country's problems.
"I think it will be pretty difficult for President Obama to answer for what he's done in the past few years," Peterson said. "I think that when Romney sheds light on where he stands on issues, people are going to realize that a lot of the things being said about him aren't accurate. Romney is a candidate who, the better you get to know him, the better you feel about him."
In a poll released yesterday by Quinnipiac University, 49 percent of likely voters back Obama, while 45 percent side with Romney.
Loomis said Obama's challenge in this debate would be to not make any serious mistakes. He also said that Romney needs to articulate his plans for economic policies.
"Debates historically have not determined the outcome of elections, but this is a race that is
reasonably close," Loomis said. "I do think it's far more important for Romney given the fact that he's 4 percent behind nationwide."
Kristin Nance, a senior from Topeka and President of KU Young Democrats, looks forward to the candidates discussing issues like higher education, women's issues and the economy. Nance said she plans to vote for Obama, in part because Romney did not turn out the way she thought he would.
For Romney, the pressure is on, Loomis said. He said that while Obama has to maintain his advantage, Rommy must find an argument that will break through and get undecided voters in swing states like Ohio, Virginia and Florida on his side.
Both Nance and Peterson think Romney and Obama should provide a detailed plan for the economy in order to gain more votes.
"I was looking for him to be the economic candidate who would
leave social issues alone," Nance wrote in an email. "Instead, he allowed the far right to push him into social issues."
Nance said because higher education is becoming more expensive every year, scholarship money is dwindling and parents are unable to assist their children with finances as much as they did in previous years, the topic of the economy is especially relevant to her and other students.
"When we graduate, that's the thing we're going to have to try to tackle," he said. "How do we get a job and how do we go out on our own in an economy that, at this point, doesn't look seem to be getting better any time soon?"

The debate, titled "O'Reilly v. Stewart 2012: The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium", costs $45.9 for online streaming.
Peterson said that undecided student voters need to look at economic factors in order to make a good decision.

WASHINGTON—There's more to tonight's presidential debate than just the 90 minutes onstage. For the campaigns, it's a three-part performance:
THE BEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
So in the days before their first meeting, President Barack Obama called Republican challenger Mitt Romney "a good debater" and deemed his own skills "just OK". His aides groused that Romney got more rehearsal time, while Obama was busy being president.
For his part, Romney praised Obama as "a very eloquent, gifted speaker." And, despite his numerous GOP primary match-ups, Romney noted, "I've never been in

PART II: TENSION CITY
The first of the three presidential debates — starting at 9 p.m. EDT in Denver — should bring the biggest audience of any campaign event. More than 52 million TV viewers watched Obama's initial match-up with John McCain in 2008.
Despite all the rehearsal, something's bound to take the candidates by surprise, and they'll be judged by how they improvise on the fly.
Studies find viewers tend to see the guy they preferred going into the debate as the winner when it's over.

Turmoil a possibility in Georgia

Georgia's billionaire and opposition leader Bidzina Ivanishvili reacts with supporters at his office in Tbilisi, Georgia.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
TBILISI, Georgia — Defying expectations, President Mikhail Saakashvili conceded Tuesday that his party had lost Georgia's parliamentary election and his opponent had the right to become prime minister, setting the stage for political turmoil in the final year of his presidency.
By conceding defeat even before the results of Monday's election were released, the 44-year-old Saakashvili defied the opposition's expectations that he would cling to power at all costs and preserved his legacy as a pro-Western leader who brought democracy to the former Soviet republic.
In one notable accomplishment, it was the first time in Georgia's post-Soviet history that the government changed by the ballot box rather than through revolution. Saakashvili came to power through the peaceful Rose Revolution after a rigged parliamentary vote in 2003.
The new Georgian government will be led by billionaire businessman and philanthropist Bidzina Ivanishvili, who made his fortune in Russia and until recently was little known to the 4.5 million people in his homeland on the Black Sea.
He also prevented potential violence on the emotionally charged streets of the capital, Tbilisi, where
support for the opposition Georgian Dream coalition is strongest. Opposition supporters began celebrating as soon as the polls closed, and the mood could have turned ugly very quickly if they thought they were being deprived of a victory.
The 56-year-old Ivanishvili, meanwhile, went immediately on the attack. Speaking at a televised news conference, he declared that most of the president's widely praised reforms were a joke and said Saakashvili had deceived the Americans into believing he was a democrat. He then called on Saakashvili to resign.
"I don't think our political battle was caused by any personal antagonism on my part toward Saakashvili," he said. "But I have always blamed Saakashvili for what has gone wrong in Georgia, and I can repeat that today: This man's ideology has established a climate of violence, and torture."
In Washington, the White House welcomed the vote as "the achievement of another milestone in Georgia's democratic development" and urged Saakashvili and Ivanishvili to "work together in the spirit of national unity."
in neighboring Russia, the government welcomed Saakashvili's defeat, for he and President Vladimir Putin have had a deep emensity since a brief 2008 war
between their nations.
During his nearly nine years in power, Saakashvili has pushed through economic and political reforms and attracted international investment that has led to dramatic economic growth. Poverty and unemployment, however, remain painfully high.
Still, many Georgians have turned against Saakashvili in recent years. Many accuse his United National Movement party — which has controlled not only the government and Parliament but also the courts and prosecutor's office — of exercising authoritarian powers.
Saakashvili's campaign was also hit hard by the release two weeks ago of shocking videos showing prisoners in a 'Tbilisi jail being beaten and sodomized. The government moved quickly to stem the anger, replacing Cabinet ministers blamed for the abuse and arresting prison staff, but many saw the videos as illustrating the excesses of his government.
In his televised concession speech, the president said there were deep differences between his party and the diverse opposition coalition.

Clip of Pakistani army still suspicious
ASSOCIATED PRESS
As the clips circulated online and the U.S. threatened to cut aid, Pakistan's army chief promised a full investigation and punishment for any wrongdoers.
Two years later: Silence.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The footage was startling: A group of what appeared to be Pakistani soldiers gunning down several blinded men in a forested area.
What has the inquiry found?
The army won't say. Was anyone punished? Not a word. Some rights activists question whether an investigation even took place.
Pakistan has spent nearly five years under civilian rule, an unusually long stretch for a 65-year-old country prone to military coups. But as the firing squad footage and several other prominent scandals suggest, the army remains largely unwilling to hold itself accountable to the public.
This despite some pressure from more active media and judiciary and despite hopes that the military would rethink its ways after the humiliation it suffered following the unilateral U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
The army's lack of transparency and resistance to civilian oversight could cripple Pakistan's transition to a healthy democracy, something the United States says the country needs. But the Americans can't protest too much: Washington needs the Pakistani army's cooperation as the war in Afghanistan winds down and it already struggles to balance a strained relationship as it presses the army to root out anti-U.S. insurgents in Pakistan.
that generally the Pakistani military is very careful about not hurting its own people," especially as they fight Islamists trying to overthrow the state, said Ayesha Siddiqa, a prominent Pakistani defense analyst. Most ordinary Pakistanis feel powerless to take on the army, and when it comes to reining in the men in uniform, the still-weak civilian government "can't do anything" she said.
It's important to understand
The two video clips that spawned the supposed inquiry fueled allegations that the military carried out numerous extradictual killings in the Swat Valley during a major offensive against the Pakistani Taliban in 2009. Bloodied corpses of suspect militants were found dumped on the streets for months after the army retook the valley from the Taliban. The army denied those killings.
The grayy footage, which came to light in September 2010, is believed to have been recorded in Swat. A nearly six-minute clip shows men in Pakistani military uniforms lining up six blindfolded men in civilian clothes, then shooting them. After a voice says "finish them one by one," one apparent soldier walks over to the
men and shoots them again. The other, 53-second clip shows only the executions.
On Oct. 8, 2010, army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani announced an inquiry into the matter. He noted the probe would consider if the footage was even real, but also said, "It is not expected of a professional army to engage in excesses against the people whom it is trying to guard against the scourge of terrorism."
In the two years since, The Associated Press has repeatedly asked the army about the status of the probe. At most, the answer has been that it's under way. Attempts to get army comment for this story led nowhere.
Other cases further illustrate the difficulty in holding the army accountable.
A year before the execution videos surfaced, a clip on YouTube and Facebook appeared to show Pakistani soldiers beating and whipping four militant suspects. The army promised to investigate but has never released any findings.
In mid-September, Kayani announced that the military would take over the investigation and prosecution of three retired
generals accused in a financial scam that was being probed by a parliamentary committee.

Santos scheduled for prostate surgery
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos announced Monday that he has prostate cancer. He said the tumor was caught early and would be removed this week.
"It's a small tumor located in the prostate gland and the prognosis is good, that is to say it's not aggressive," Santos added.
The 61-year-old Santos told reporters in announcing the cancer at the presidential palace, his wife Maria Clemencia at his side, that he has a 97 percent chance of a full recovery.
He said he planned to fly to Lima, Peru later Monday for a summit of South American and Arab leaders and then undergo surgery on his return to Bogota on Wednesday.
---
Santos said he has a family history of prostate cancer and that his older brother, Luis Fernando, had exactly the same operation 14 years ago "and today is in perfect health."
Santos said the surgery would be performed under local anesthetic so he would not need to relinquish temporarily his presidential responsibilities.
"This could happen to anyone. Prostate cancer is much more common than people imagine," said Santos. "I am calm because this cancer was detected very early thanks to my discipline in repeating medical exams year after year."
Santos said that because of the family history he had a Protein-Specific Antigen test. When it indicated an abnormal increase, he said, his doctor decided to do a biopsy. And that's when the cancer was discovered.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH AMERICA
Santos did not say exactly when the cancer was detected but he said it was found by his doctor in Colombia after a routine annual physical and confirmed by specialists at Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital in New York during his visit last week for the U.N. General Assembly.
Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos delivers a speech during a televised address to the nation at the presidential park in Bogota, Colombia.

MOVIE REVIEW

UNITED STATES MARSHAL COURT
This film image released by Sony Pictures shows Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a scene from the action thriller "Looper."
'Looper' is thought-provoking and intense, but full of heart
ALEX LAMB
alamb@kansan.com
Not since "Inception" has a science fiction film so fully realized its world and brilliantly executed its intricate story as "Looper." And for the time travel subgenre, this is a defining work.
The central premise revolves around a not-too-distant future where specialized assassins called loopers kill targets sent to them from 30 years in the future (where time travel exists, only used in secret by the mob). When a looper's contract is up, his future self is sent back to be killed by his younger self. But Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) breaks the only rule: never let your loop run.
When his older self (Bruce Willis) appears, he escapes from the勇弱 Joe, leading the narrative into a much deeper rabbit hole. As young Joe attempts to recapture his future before his employers hunt him down for his mistake, old Joe sets out on a bloody quest to change something in the past and thus alter the future.
The plot only grows in complexity from there, as writer/director Rian Johnson impeccably manipulates your attention from one story thread to another, slowly peeling the film's layers back to reveal one exciting element after another.
On the surface a slick, detailed atmosphere and suspenseful, clever action sequences pull you in. But it's the thought-provoking implementation of time travel, genius twisting narrative and most importantly the movie's compelling characters that push it above and beyond.
Johnson reinvented the old-school detective noir by placing it in a high school setting in his riveting debut "Brick." With "Looper," he shows the ambition of Christopher Nolan — albeit with action on a smaller scope — and he proves just as cerebrally intensive while injecting more heart and humor into his film than Nolan does in his works.
it's his hard-ass disposition and confident speech that convincingly embody a young Willis. And Willis gets his classic persona of the unstoppable one-man army enhanced, deepened by an astoundingly implemented backstory that puts a sympathetic warmth underneath the killer exterior.
The most satisfying balancing act is that of the two loes. Gordon-Levitt's impressive makeup job really does make him look the part. However,
It's fascinating how they interact with each other, from their spellbinding scenes together to how the actions of young Joe affect old Joe. Clearly Johnson has painstakingly thought through the details and rules of this world. How he makes viewers care equally about both characters while simultaneously hoping they each succeed against the other plays a huge part in why "Looper" is such an enthralling experience.

John Legend postpones tour
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES _ John Legend is postponing his fall U.S. tour, the soul crooner announced Tuesday in a letter to fans.
The nine-time Grammy winner had planned on previewing "Love in the Future," his fourth solo album in nearly four years, with a trek that was to hit more than 20 cities.
Legend said he needed to postpone the tour to next year to give himself more time to complete the record.
"We announced the dates before wed finished the album because we were sure wed finish the album in time. But, unfortunately, while the creative
"In other words, we're not done with the album. And my team and I have made the agonizing decision to put off the tour until 2013 when we know we will have the new music done and will be ready to fully unveil the creative vision through the album and the live experience."
process has been exciting and I'm pretty certain we're going to deliver the best album of my career so far, the timing hasn't adhered to the schedule I originally envisioned," he wrote on his website.

Legend apologized to his fans and wrote that ticket holders could get refunds.
The singer's last solo album was 2008's "Evolver," but since then he's teamed up with the Roots on the socially conscious joint effort "Wake Up!" The disc was heralded by critics and took home three Grammys last year, including R&B album.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Uneasy fans of "Revolution" "The New Normal" and "Go On" can fill their DVRs with abandon as of now. All three freshmen series have been picked up by NBC for full-season orders.
NBC Entertainment
Chairman Robert Greenblatt
praised the renewals in a statement Tuesday, saying, "We're very pleased with early results of the last three weeks of our fall season roll-out." The network used the huge audience it had for the London Summer Olympics to promote and debut its new shows.
CROSSWORD
"Revolution," the J.J. Abrams-produced science fiction series about a world with no electricity, grabbed 11.7 million viewers. It was the biggest drama debut on any network in three years and the biggest NBC drama premiere in five years. (The previous NBC record was "Bionic Woman," which was canceled before it had a chance to complete its first season.)
"The New Normal," executive producer Ryan Murphy's comedy series about a gay couple in Los Angeles attempting to start a family with a surrogate mother, caused a bit of a pre-premiere controversy when the NBC affiliate in Salt Lake City refused to air the show. It's now carried by the city's CW affiliate.
"Go On," Matthew Perry's latest attempt at a post "Friends" series, grabbed NBC's best comedy debut rating in two years.

Everyone and their grand mother hates hipsters. Hipsters even hate hipsters, which is pretty ironic because "being a hipster" means you don't do anything that anyone else does. You hate hipsters, too; you're not a hipster, either. No real, self-respecting hipster would read the campus newspaper (we're the mainstream media, dude), not to mention a column written by a guy in a bow tie.
There's even a popular Tumblr called "Look At This Fucking Hipster." It's like "People of Wal-Mart," if only Wal-Mart sold vegan shoes and Bright Eyes records.
But here's a mind-boggler: You hate something that doesn't even really exist. Although you may think they do, real hipsters don't exist.
CULTURE
My teacher is arguing with a kid's mom on her right to answer his phone when it rings in class. This is the best moment of my entire college career.
The very ethos of the hipster community is a paradox. The overarching goal of hipster style, dress and attitude is to thumb its pierced nose at the rest of society. At some point, someone thought it would be a good idea to gauge Oreosized cavities in their earlobes because it looked edgy and probably pissed off daddy, who was left to endlessly defend his son's sketch jewelry choices as "just a phase" to rest of the board of directors. Then, that one-time hipster visionary's friends started to do the same, and soon enough, everyone had the capability to hang a coat through their ears.
At some point, a hipster discovered Instagram, too. They were in awe at the fact that their mundane, candid pictures from poetry readings could be dramatically enhanced with sepia coloring. Then Facebook purchased Instagram, and Instagram was made available to Android users. The hipsters

were livid. Allowing the hordes of bourgeois, suburban smart-phone users to share in the artsy-picture phenomenon was nothing short of treason. Only a select group of "socially-conscious" people using iPhones (which were manufactured in poor working conditions) should be able to use Instagram; and the hipsters believed it was them.
The right to share faux-artistic photography wasn't the only notable source of widespread hipster rage - they were up in flannel-
covered arms when Kanye West sampled Bon Iver tracks and they collectively threw their oversized beanies down in anger when Arcade Fire won the 2011 Grammy for Album of the Year. Any time something that was once cool and underground became appreciated by the masses, hipsters were there to gripe about it.
But it just doesn't make sense; if the hipster mantra of "death to the mainstream" was really achievable, how would we even know what a hipster is? If my grandmother can point out a hipster, doesn't that defeat the entire purpose of their supposed existence? If hipsters are recognizable enough to be identified by a woman in her 70s, aren't they doing it all wrong?
The simple answer is yes. If someone claims to be a hipster, they're not a hipster. If someone tries to be a hipster, they're not a
hipster. If someone really wanted to be a true hipster, they'd give up paying taxes, they'd sell all their material possessions, they'd stop listening to any music distributed through a record label and they'd stop using electronics. Almost every person in society pays taxes, buys things, listens to popular music and has a cell phone. That's just not the hipster way. No matter how many Newport cigarettes you smoke and no matter how much Pabst Blue Ribbon you drink, you're not a hipster.
Even my grandmother knows that.

Judging the limits of campus free speech
Accidentally listened to my pump-up playlist on my way to class. I'm way too hype for this Spanish lecture.
We as Americans are granted certain unalienable rights. First and foremost of which is the right to freedom of expression. On our campus it is not outside the norm to see multiple people and organizations all around campus protesting something or simply speaking informatively on some topic. However, the question that constantly arises in our society is whether or not this freedom of expression can be taken too far when dealing with certain hot-button issues of a graphic nature.
A prime example of this can be seen in both the abortion and animal rights protesters that were seen on campus in the past few weeks. These groups both deal in very serious issues that many students have strong opinions toward and went about expressing their ideals in very different ways.
By Caleb Sisk

If you happened to be walking by Wescoe Beach in the past week, it was unavoidable that you saw the large images depicting aborted infants and heard the advocates protesting. This group has made an appearance on campus every year that I have been at the University, and upon seeing them year by year I can't help but find myself feeling angry at the explicit, in-your-face nature of their protests.
These shock-and-awe tactics not only elicit anger and disgust, they also tend to cause those that may have been interested in discussing the topic to shy away. These methods are, simply put, rude as well as ineffective because not only are these people eliciting the wrong emotions from the public, they are causing those that may show an interest in stepping forward and gaining information to avoid the topic altogether.
On the other side of campus at the Kansas Union, we saw a much more mild-mannered and informative group protesting an issue that is arguably equally as controversial. The PETA protesters offered students and passers-by a choice on whether or not to view some pretty graphic images depicting what happens to cattle in a slaughter-house before we get to enjoy our ever so delicious McDoubles.
Advocates for the group erected an inflatable tide to hide the images from the view of the more squeamish students that might want to listen to their protests but on the other hand not to be subjected to any gruesome images. As well as being considerate to the public the protesters offered Vegan "cookies" to those brave souls that made it through their blow-up slaughterhouse.
Much unlike the group protesting a little way down the boulevard, the advocates for animal rights got their message across while at the same time respecting the opinions and personal choices of their viewing public.
So, can our unilienable right to free speech be taken too far? Should a certain moral and ethical code be taken into account when voicing our opinions in a public forum? I believe that this is most certainly the case. Shock-and-awe tactics are outdated and shift focus away from the issue being discussed. Want to get your point across effectively? Give the public a choice on whether or not to participate in your forum. And bringing a few snacks couldn't hurt.

ANNA LAVIGNE
alavigne@kansan.com
Robert Frost really hit the nail on the head when he said, "I took the road less traveled and that has made all of the difference." I came to Lawrence unaware of the road that lies ahead. I didn't know a single person, and I was a half a day away from home. For both of these, I was satisfied. Everyone's college experience is unique and to each their own. No one has the right to judge your college path, and I urge you to never judge someone else'.
I remember sitting at my commencement ceremony while a girl preached to me about seeing things from another pair of eyes—taking on a different perspective. I never realized how true her statements were until I made the move from Minnesota to Kansas. Everyone would ask me, "why Kansas?" and I never had a solidified answer. Coming from out-of-state is a growing experience, and an entertaining one for those who notice my accent. The accent comment is a common occurrence: "say bag," or, "do you say 'eh' after every sentence?" and so on. Coming from Minnesota, this change is definitely a drastic one. It was snowing in northern Minnesota recently, which would be out of the ordinary for Kansas in early October. I'm not complaining, though.
I find myself learning something new every day—mostly the names of basketball players. Us northerners play playboy, so basketball is foreign to me. And although we have hills up north, nothing is comparable to Oread's mountainous treks.
I took a big leap in hopes KU would have arms wide open to catch me. Basically, there is no better school, but we all know that. KU makes you feel at home, even if you are hours away from your real home. There is no better place than Lawrence to start fresh or experience life-changing, eye-opening experiences, or to get an education. I now know my solidified answer to the wandering and ever-present "Why KU?" question. I picked KU because it felt right and you defy intuition. I'm confident with my choice and thankful every day for the opportunity.
It's obvious that there are all kinds here in Lawrence—just walk down Massachusetts Street at any odd hour. With a different outlook, you might find yourself a new best friend. Don't judge a book by its cover, walk a mile in their shoes and any other cliche you can think of. It's good for you.
I encourage you to try something new. I encourage you to have an alternative perspective. You just might learn something new about yourself. You just might land that dream job. With different outlooks comes different experiences, and with different experiences comes higher potential. Higher potential correlates with more opportunities. There is nothing typical or normal about your journey; so, spice it up. Enjoy the small steps; with different perspectives, those small steps are really the big steps. Most importantly, enjoy yourself and find your forte, for that's what college is all about.

Freshman duo makes its mark

NICOLE EVANS
nevans@kansan.com
While five freshmen entered the ranks of the Crimson and Blue this year, two players have wasted no time in leaving their marks in the record books as jayhawks.
Forwards Ashley Williams and Courtney Dickerson's impressive playing has helped the squad gain a record of 8-3-1. Hailing from Albuquerque, N.M., and Peculiar, Mo., respectively, the forward duo has ingrained themselves to become prominent members of the team with their aggressive, goal-scoring style of play.
Both players have played in every match the Jayhawks have competed since the start of the season.
Dickerson has created many plays for the Jayhawks, maintaining a presence over the field by constantly getting to the ball. She has scored six points from two goals and two assists, and she has had 12 shot attempts, five of which placed on the goal.
“It's a team sport, and you have a bunch of girls backing you up in everything you do,” Dickerson said. “It's like another family and my heart is really in it.” As a player for Raymore-Peculiar High School, Dickerson also made her presence felt. She had back-to-back seasons where she collected 20 goals, a feat that made RPHS history. Dickerson received two honors while there: Offensive Player of the Year for three years and Most Outstanding Player during her debut year. Dickerson has potential to gain the same honors as a Jayhawk, especially if she continues to stay involved with the run of play.
"It would be great to play soccer [after college], but I'll do whatever
God has in store for me," Dickerson said.
Dickerson's teammate Williams is a natural athlete, playing different sports while growing up. She played for Volcano Vista High School, obtaining 88 goals and 36 assists in her career. She won a state title her junior year, and was honored with All-State first team three times, as well as All-District first team four times. Despite being a multi-sport athlete, Williams chose to continue
to play soccer for a surprising reason.
"I wasn't as good at soccer as I was basketball or track, and I liked the fact that I wasn't as good," Williams said. "So I kept playing it so I could get better, and I just loved soccer a lot more."
Williams continues her trend in earning honors in her first year as a Jayhawk. As a starter, Williams became the third Big 12 athlete named Offensive Player and
She is also second in scoring for the Jayhawks with seven goals and has taken 15 shots on goal compared to 25 overall, hounding the box whenever she can. She also has two assists and 18 points, and scored one of the Jayhawks' two penalty kicks this season, the other going to senior forward Whitney Berry.
Newcomer of the Week within the same week earlier in the season.
"I definitely want my team to win the Big 12 as a whole and keep going up from where we're at," Williams said. Watch both of these playcreating forwards on Friday when the Jayhawks host West Virginia at 4 p.m. at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

New Marlin signee Adam Greenberg heads to the dugout during practice before a baseball game against the New York Mets in Miami. Greenberg signed a one-day contract and was to bat as a pinch-hitter in the game.

Miami Marlins sign 'One at Bat' rookie for season's last game
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI (AP) — Only hours before getting his second chance in the big leagues, Adam Greenberg admitted he was nervous. Not about facing one of baseball's best pitchers — but about some pregame antics his new Miami Marlins teammates had in store for him.
Greenberg signed a one-day contract to play Tuesday night as a pinch-hitter in the Marlin's game against the New York Mets, who planned to start 20-game winner R.A. Dickey.
The game was Greenberg's first since he stepped to the plate for his major league debut in 2005 and was hit in the back of the head by the first pitch he saw - a 92-mph fastball that derailed his career.
Greenberg, 31, took part in batting practice and said he was overwhelmed by the positive reception from his new teammates, who planned to treat him like any other rookie. Catcher John Buck said Greenberg would don a USA Speedo, blue tennis shoes and pink goggles for a pregame performance in the clubhouse.
"I've got to go sing and dance in front of them like a real rookie," Greenberg said. "That, to be honest, is what I'm more nervous about."
The 5-foot-9 Greenberg said he hoped the game marks only the beginning of a career comeback. He didn't play in the minor leagues this year and hasn't been with a major league organization since 2008, but he still harbors

hopes of a big-league job.
Several Marlins played with Greenberg in the minors as he struggled to recover from his beating.
"Hopefully there is going to be a lot more of this. This is good stuff." Greenberg said at a pregame news conference. "I want to show everyone I can play, although you can never really truly do that in one at-bat, especially if it ends up being against Dickey"
"He was a good player, and for it to be ruined on one pitch is a tough blow, if you will," Buck said. "But he has fought back. This is one of those good stories for young kids and what baseball is about — enduring to the end, and making the most of your opportunity."

The Greenberg signing was a rare feel-good story for the last-place Marlins, who have endured the most disappointing season in the franchise's 20-year history. They gave Greenberg jersey No. 10, a more prestigious number than the No. 66 he recalled wearing in Chicago Cubs spring training.
The outfielder made his big league debut with the Cubs in Miami on July 9, 2005, and was hit by a pitch thrown by Marlins left-hander Valerio De Los Santos. He suffered a concussion that caused vision problems, vertigo and headaches lasting hours at a time, and it was nearly two years before he regained full health.

He married, started a healthsupplement business and played in the independent Atlantic League. A recent online campaign known as "One At Bat" lobbied for Greenberg to get a second chance in the majors, and the Marlins last week offered him an opportunity to play in the next-to-last game of their season.
For seven years, Greenberg was one of only two players to be hit by a pitch in his lone big-league appearance and never take the field. The other was Fred van Dusen with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1955.
Van Dusen flew down from his home in Franklin, Tenn., to attend Tuesday's game and joined the rest of the crowd applauding Greenberg's comeback.
"Life throws you curveballs," Greenberg said. "Mine threw me a fastball at 92, and it hit me in the back of the head. I got up from it, and my life is great."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Who was the last player to win the Triple Crown and lead all three categories outright?
A: Frank Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles in 1966
— esan.com
THE MORNING BREW Cabrera the clear candidate for American League MVP
W with the end of regular season play today, the debate for American League MVP must one to a decision.
come to a decision.
The clear leader is Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera. He is the likeliest candidate to hit a Triple Crown, the hardest feat in baseball and arguably in all of sports. The last player accomplish this was Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox in 1967.
By Andrew Morris
amorris@kansan.com
Cabrera is batting .329 with 44 home runs and a crazy 137 RBs. This makes him the leader in all three categories of the Triple Crown, and his team is going to make the playoffs. His move to third base from first has helped create a scary lineup dominated by him and Fielder. The Tigers knew his fielding was suspect but also knew he was the best hitter in baseball. He is a huge reason why the Tigers will be making their first back-to-back postseason appearances since 1934 and 1935.
Critics had thought Cabrera's weight
was spiraling out of control and that his drinking problem presented a lack of interest in the game. Some were worried his weight would lead to low production in the game.
This season he has had the chance to end all this criticism if he wins the Triple Crown. Growing up I was always told the hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a baseball. A Triple Crown has never happened in my life and surely should be
treated as a huge accomplishment.
On the other side of the MVP debate, Mike Trout of the Anaheim Angels is batting .325 with 30 home runs and 48 stolen bases. Mix in his stellar defense in center field and the fact that he was called up after the season started makes Trout a promising contender for MVP. He is the future of the game and is putting up stats similar to Alex Rodriguez at the age of 21. Without Trout, the Angels, who spent millions to bring in stars like Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson, would have had a miserable season. He is the leader of the team despite being the youngest player on the roster and has the potential to be the best player in the game. However, despite the unbelievable defensive plays and excitement of his bat, Trout and his teammates will not be going to the playoffs.
Cabrera's season deserves to be recognized with an AL MVP. Many national pundits are arguing for Trout because of his ability to change the game defensively or on the base paths, but Cabrera is about to add his name to a rare list of Triple Crown winners. While both players have had incredible seasons, Cabrera is the clear MVP for me simply for the rarity and history of the feat he is so close to accomplishing.

COMMENTARY Weis must view K-State game as a learning experience
Kansas football: Success really isn't too far away from you. In fact, it's only 86 miles to the west.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Yes, that's the distance between Kansas' cozy corner, also known as Memorial Stadium, and Bill Snuder's house of terror.
Is this a problem for Kansas this year? Yes. Can it be a solution for Kansas in the future? Absolutely.
K-State may once again pull an Edward Norton this Saturday. The game is on Snyder's turf in Manhattan, and appears to be the best team he's coached since his return to K-State in the 2009 football season.
Still, that doesn't mean the game will be pretty.
However, Weis will learn from what happens on Saturday. It's a sneak peak for Weis to see and to experience first-hand what it takes to succeed in football in the state of Kansas.
"You can't go into a game saying. Well, we'll 1-3, they're 4-0, let's go in there and just try to keep it close." Weis said. "Id rather lose by 100 trying to win."
It almost certainly will not be 100,but it might be pretty darn close.
"I don't want every Kansas fan to be mad at me, but it's a pretty good role model," Weis said of Kansas State's success. "They're doing a lot of things right, so let's try to get to that level first."
Weis is right. K-State football should be the blueprint of success for the Jayhawks. Bill Snyder's long-term success and consistency should be a goal for every coach.
Edited by Lauren Shelly
Weis spoke candidly on Wednesday about how superior K-State's program is this season. He was even asked if K-State had "every single advantage in the book."
His answer; "Correct."

Like Kansas and K-State, it's not just that the Wildcats have been winning, it's how ruthlessly they've done it. The past two years — while playing in Lawrence, mind you — the combined score has been 118-28 in favor of Snyder's Wildcats.
Yes, when Kansas and K-State line up opposite each other on Saturday, the Jayhawks will be severely outmatched against a team that sure loves to pounce on Kansas. Remember the scene from "Fight Club" in which Edward Norton's character heats a man unconscious? That's how the fight between Kansas and K-State has gone the last two seasons.
The shocking part of the scene is not that Norton knocks the man out — it's how ruthlessly he launches his fist into his opponents face over and over again. It's gruesome and really, it's not pleasant to watch.

THE COMING STORM
The Jayhawks took the bye week to prepare for a meeting with a stacked K-State offense

During the bye week, Kansas football coach Charlie Weis didn't take any breaks while prepping his players for the Sunflower Showdown with a three-game losing streak in their rear-view.
Weis visited the history between Kansas and Kansas State with his players. He stressed the importance of this rivalry to give them pride going into Saturday's game. This was especially important to those who have never played in a Sunflower Showdown before — like quarterback Dayne Crist.
"We just went in-depth with a
tons of details and why this game is so important," Crist said. "I enjoyed that. I think the emphasis was more on Missouri in years past. I think that a lot of guys enjoyed what we did on Sunday."
Crist was motivated by what Weis showed the players to get them amped up before facing one of the best teams in the country. But Crist knows that the team can't play the same way they have been if they want a shot at beating K-State.
"You don't look at them and see a ton of flaws," Crist said. "They play very well together. They're a very cohesive unit and play well enough and don't make very many mistakes. You've really got to be
patient with a defense like that. You've got to elevate your game and play your best."
After the first four games of the season, Crist threw two touchdown passes and four interceptions. Kansas struggled holding on to a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter against Rice and Northern Illinois.
"You're practical with your analysis," Crist said. "But you're worried about the games to come. I just try to go back and revisit everything, but just figure out how I could get back to being more confident, going back to times where I was at my absolute best and what I did to get there. I'm just trying to implement some of those ideas again."
Weis, who wanted Crist to be more loose, said that he doesn't feel that his quarterback is down. All of his players, Crist included, continue to practice just as hard with the same amount of enthusiasm as they have all season.
Crist said the bye week came at a perfect time for him. He took the opportunity to stabilize himself. Crist and his teammates are prepared to work hard during their extra week of practice and are trying to put their three losses behind them.
tions for Crist remains the same every week.
Even though K-State has an advantage over Kansas in every aspect of the game, Weis' expecta-
"He can't worry about the games we played already," Weis said. "They are past-tense. All he can do is put us in the best position to beat K-State."
With Weis still confident in him, Crist has the support of his entire team.
"We all feel like, as an offense, we can do something better," said Daymond Patterson, senior wide receiver. "He's our quarterback. We know what he can do, and we know what he will do to help our team."

VOLLEYBALL
Jayhawks to face 'charged up' West Virginia offense
Moutaineers may be young, but they're still formidable
gcalvert@kansan.com
Coach Ray Bechard isn't fooled by West Virginia's 8-9 record. The Mountaineers still pose a threat to the Jayhawks with a record of 7-2 at home, where they will host the Kansas volleyball team tonight at 5:30 p.m.
Bechard said along with their winning home record, the Mountaineers are also dangerous because they are excited about moving from the Big East to the Big 12.
"You can tell they're really charged up about being part of our conference and wanting to build a program there," Bechard said. "The Big 12 is probably a little more physical conference, the Big East probably a little more speed."
The Mountaineers are one of the youngest teams in the Big 12, with only one senior and seven freshmen. Bechard said West Virginia team members didn't have many expectations for the season because of their youth, but that also lets them play with very little pressure, making them a dangerous team.
One thing West Virginia does do well despite the team's youth is serving. The Mountaineers rank second in the Big 12 conference with 92 service aces, one behind TCU, and have an average of 1.44
"They think they need to take chances there to create opportunities offensively for them," Bechard said. "If you can push people off the net with your serve, it creates better opportunities for you to set up your defense, so I'm sure that's what they're trying to do."
Junior defensive specialist Jaime Mathieu said the Jayhawks will be fine as long as they serve aggressively, regardless if this results in a service ace or not. Defensively, Mathieu said the team works well together because every player knows her role and is executing it.
The Jayhawks have conceded a Big 12-low of 39 service aces this season while the Mountaineers have conceded 97. Conversely, the Jayhawks rank ninth out of nine teams in the Big 12 with 53 service aces scored.
aces per set. Texas is third in the Big 12 in service aces, but they only have 63 aces.
"Just as long as our game is completely in sync with serving and passing, I think we're going to do great." Mathieu said. "From a passer's standpoint, I think our passing's done really well. Our defensive mindset, even in the front row with block, is just phenomenal right now."
Playing West Virginia in a conference match isn't the only thing unfamiliar to the Jayhawks this
Sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton said the Jayhawks could avoid a letdown against West Virginia by bringing the same intensity they showed last week against Iowa State. If Kansas beats the Mountaineers, it would be the first time in school history the team began conference play 3-0.
"I think it's better to be ranked Oct. 1 than Sept. 1," Bechard said.
"But it'd be far more important to be ranked Nov. 1 and Dec. 1."
week. The American Volleyball Coaches Association ranked the Jayhawks No. 24 in its latest poll after the team's victory against No. 19 Iowa State last week.
"We have to have the same attitude going into this West Virginia game as we did at the Iowa State game." McClinton said. "We have to have constant pressure on them at all times."
The layhawks did not play a match last weekend for the first time this season. Bechard said he gave the team the weekend off after intense practices late last week so they could recover from an already physical season.
"When you have a chance to recharge the batteries a little bit, not only physically but mentally, I think that's important," Bechard said.

ROAD KILL AHEAD
Weekend holds a bad beating for Kansas or calamity for K-State
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
After three years of futility against the in-state rival, Kansas coach Charlie Weis needed to try something different if he wanted to give his team any chance in the 111th Sunflower Showdown.
So Weis changed up his practices by making it full contact for everyone-even the quarterbacks.
“Everything was full speed, including going against my own normal patterns,” Weis said. “The quarterbacks were live the whole week, too. They probably hit more last week than they hit any week this entire season.”
There were two reasons for the change. Most importantly, the coaches felt the players needed to get better at finishing on all levels — tackles, quarters and games.

Bug-eyed photo becoming a hit
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The manager of a Denver Chipotle restaurant has become an Internet celebrity thanks to the wide-eyed pose he struck alongside Mitt Romney when the Republican presidential candidate stopped by for lunch.
Marty Arps, 20, posed for a group photo with Romney and Chipotle employees Tuesday afternoon. Arps is seen making a wide-eyed expression while
pointing at Romney.
"I's a facial expression I do when I'm excited." Arps told The Daily. He told the online publication he made the same expression when he met singer Nicki Minai.
The Associated Press photo is being shared extensively on Twitter and is making the rounds on websites.
"it's like. 'Ah, it's them, right there in front of you!' They're not from another world," he said.
Arps was not at work
Wednesday, according to a Chipotle employee who answered the telephone.
Romney seemed unaware of Arps' pose and the mood was jovial, said AP photographer Charles Dharapak, who snapped the picture. "It didn't seem awkward. Everyone was having a good time," Dharapak said.
Romney ordered a pork burrito bowl with guacamole during a break from preparations for Wednesday's debate with President
Barack Obama in Denver. He was joined by his debate training partner, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman.
Romney spent about five minutes greeting customers, and also posed for a photo outside with a 3-year-old girl.
Arps told The Daily he doesn't know yet who he'll vote for. He said he's "not too hip to elections and stuff.

HEALTH
New review exposes supplement labels as fraud
SAN FRANCISCO — Dozens of weight loss and immune system supplements on the market are illegally labeled and lack the recommended type of scientific evidence to back up their purported health claims, government investigators warn in a new review of the $20 billion supplement industry.
The report, released Wednesday by the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general, found that 20 percent of the 127

weight loss and immune-boosting supplements investigators purchased online and in retail stores across the country carried labels that made illegal claims to cure or treat disease.
Some products went so far as to state that the supplements could cure or prevent diabetes or cancer, or that they could treat people with HIV or AIDS, which is strict.
In addition, many of those and other supplements lacked the scientific studies recommended to support their suggested uses.
lv prohibited under federal law.
Consumers may not just be wasting their money on pills or tablets, but they could be endangering their health if they take a supplement in place of a drug thinking it will have the same effect, the report concluded.
"Consumers rely on a supplement's claims to determine whether the product will provide a desired effect, such as weight loss or immune support," the report said. "Supplements that make disease claims could mislead consumers into using them as replacements for prescription drugs or other treatments for medical conditions, with potentially dangerous results."
Federal law doesn't require supplements to go through rigorous
The market for dietary supplements — which can include anything from vitamin C tablets to capsules of echinacea — is a huge one with hundreds of products. The inspector general's investigation focused on one segment that officials said is booming.

Vineyard Grapes
A bunch of Cabernet grapes ripens on the vine at the Davenport Orchards & Winery 4 miles east of Lawrence on Wednesday afternoon.The sweetness of the wine is measured in percent residual sugar, or brix. These Cabernet grapes will make a very sweet wine measuring about 29 brix.
STATE
Need for Kansas-grown grapes increases
NIKKI WENTLING
nwentling@kansan.com
When most people think of big drivers of the Kansas economy, fields of wheat, pastures dotted with beef cattle and clumps of large factories pumping out airplanes, plastic and packed meat come to mind. However, the sites of an emerging market are tucked into small towns and hidden off country roads.
Kansas' wineries and vineyards, which now lag behind nearby states in acreage and production, are trying to make a comeback.
A century ago, Martin said, Kansas was one of the country's leaders in winemaking. Prohibition, a cold climate, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl and World War II contributed to the demise of the market in Kansas.
Dominic Martin is an instructor of viticulture at Highland Community College. He manages the college's vineyard, which lies on the outskirts of Wamego, 45 miles northwest of Topeka. The vineyard was created four years ago, and it its produced first crop of grapes last month. Students are able to work hands-on, stringing wire, pruning and picking, learning how to create and run a commercial winemaking business.
"But now there's a real move all over the Midwest," he said. "There's a real curiosity about it, and people want to know what they're drinking and where it comes from. They like the idea of a local product, whether it's fruits and vegetables or a bottle of wine or a bottle of beer. The whole thing is returning to the local level. And we have a long way to go."
Highland's site accounts for one acre of Kansas' 400 acres of vineyard, a number Martin said needs to increase substantially before the state can compete with its neighbors. While there are about 30 wineries scattered around Kansas, Missouri lays claim to more than
"Most of our students are thinking about being in this business," Martin said. "Once they're our students, they never go away. We're friends with these people. We want them to succeed."
100. according to travelthemidwest.com.
"There's a real need for more Kansas grapes," Martin said. "We're pushing hard to have more vineyards put in."
Its lack of grape production was a factor behind the creation of a provision that decreases the amount of Kansas-grown grapes that state wineries are required to use in their products. Before the law went into effect in May, 60 percent of ingredients in a Kansas winery's overall products had to be made in Kansas. House Bill 2689 cut this down to 30 percent.
Shipe has a 22-acre vineyard comprising 21 varieties of grapes. He has been growing grapes for more than 20 years, and strives to use 100 percent Kansas-grown grapes in his wine.
Shipe said wineries that sell products made with imported grapes are deceiving to customers. Under this new requirement, he said, the quality of the wine would falter.
"It's important for wine to be grown where it's made," Shipe said. "You develop an identity for that wine from where it's grown."
Sollo thinks the new, lessened requirement will generate the creation of more wineries throughout Kansas, as he said it has done with neighboring states. Greg Shipe, owner of Davenport Orchard and Winery in Eudora, said this potential increase in the number of wineries would ruin Kansas' reputation.
Martin's focus remains on the state's economy. According to the U.S. Census, 77 of Kansas' 105
David Sollo, president of the Kansas Grape Growers and Wine-makers Association (KGGWA) and owner of Grace Hill Winery in Whitewater, said this new law would make it easier for wineries to become profitable because they will not have to compete for the limited number of Kansas-grown grapes.
"As of January 2012, every grape in Kansas was spoken for. Even if you wanted to buy more grapes, you couldn't, because there were none available." Sollo said. "So that really limits winery growth."

counties lost residents between 2000 and 2010.
"Kansas is losing its population, and the wine industry employs a lot of people," Martin said.
Martin also said if the grape-growing and winemaking industry were to grow, a boost in tourism would follow, which would lead to an establishment of more restaurants, bed and breakfasts and hotels.
"A lot of people can't afford to take a vacation in Europe, but they can afford to make a wine trail trip and spend two, three or four days away from home," Martin said. "This can help revitalize the local economy"
Both Martin and Sollo said there is more work to be done before there can be a booming winemaking market in Kansas. Sollo said that, along with further decreases in the Kansas-grown grapes requirement, there needs to be an established identity for Kansas wine — something he and other viticulturists are searching for.
Edited by Sarah McCabe
"Missouri has its Norton, Indiana has its Cabernet, Burgundy has its Pinot Noir, what does Kansas have? We're still searching," Sollo said. "We're still young."

Gay Pride event banned by police again

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Serbian riot police cordon blocks access to an art exhibition gallery in Belgrade, Serbia, on Wednesday. Meanwhile, some 2.000 of riot policemen were deployed in front of an art exhibition in Belgrade organized by gay activists which the extremists had threatened to disrupt.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BELGRADE, Serbia — Serbia's police on Wednesday banned a Gay Pride march in Belgrade, citing security concerns but also complying with a request from Serbia's Christian Orthodox church.
Police said they were banning the march planned for Saturday because they feared a repeat of the violence in 2010, when right-wing groups attacked a Gay Pride event in Belgrade. That triggered day-long clashes with the police which left more than 100 people injured.
Last year's Gay Pride march also was banned by authorities.
The current ban was announced after Patriarch Irmej, the head of Serbia's Christian Orthodox church, urged the government to prevent Saturday's march. In a statement, he said such a "parade of shame" would cast a "moral shadow" on Serbia — a conservative Balkan country whose gay population has faced threats and harassment.
Allowing a Gay Pride march this year had been regarded by some as a test of Serbia's pledge to respect human rights as it seeks European Union membership. That was clear
in the reaction of European Parliament official Jelko Kacin, who called the ban a "political decision that questions the rule of law in Serbia."
Secretary-General Thorbjoern Jagland of the Council of Europe, the continent's main human rights body, said he was "surprised and
disappointed" that the pride event has been banned again.

"Citizens should be able to exercise their rights of freedom of assembly and freedom of expression," he said. "Serbia should be in a position to safeguard such an event, which is commonplace in

"Serbia's government is effectively going against its own legal and constitutional protections for basic rights such as freedom of expression
Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic said in addition to banning the Gay Pride march, the government was barring a gathering of right-wing groups that planned to attack the event. It also canceled several national league soccer matches in Belgrade on Saturday because they often are attended by hooligans aligned with the extremists.
"We believe that at this moment Serbia does not need clashes and victims, and that's why we banned the gatherings," said Dacic, who is also the national police chief.
Opposition politicians said the ban showed that authorities are unable to protect freedom and human rights in Serbia.
"No democratic society has the right to retreat from the threats of violence against basic rights," said Liberal Party leader Cedomir Jovanovic.
Meanwhile, some 2,000 riot policemen were deployed Wednesday in front of an art exhibit in Belgrade organized by gay activists that the extremists had threatened to disrupt.
The reason? They claimed the photographs by a Swedish artist descrended the image of Jesus Christ.

Successful surgery for Colombian President
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOGOTA, Colombia — Doctors said Wednesday's cancer operation on Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has gone off successfully.
Dr. Adolfo Llinas is the medical director of the Fundaco Santa Fe Hospital in the Colombian capital, and he said there were no complications during the 2 $ \frac{1}{2} $ hour operation, which was carried out under local anesthetic.
The lead surgeon on the prostate operation was Felipe Gomez, and he said the president should be back home in two or three days.
Santos earlier said doctors told him he has a 97 percent chance of being cured.

Violence increases in Syria
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Three suicide bombers detonated cars packed with explosives in a government-controlled area of the battleground Syrian city of Aleppo on Wednesday, killing at least 34 people, leveling buildings and trapping survivors under the rubble, state TV said. More than 120 people were injured, the government said.
The transformation of Syria's conflict into an open war has given an opening to foreign fighters and extremists, analysts say. The Syrian government has always blamed the uprising on foreign terrorists, even though the revolt began as peaceful protests by ordinary citizens that turned violent after repeated attacks by security forces.
The Syrian opposition denies any links to terrorists or any use of suicide attacks. A Sunni extremist group called Jabhat al-Nusra, or Victory Front, has claimed responsibility for previous bombings.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the government blamed its opponents and said the blasts were caused by suicide bombers. The technique is a signature style of al-Qaida-style jihadist groups, some of which are known to have entered Syrian's civil war to fight against the regime.
A fourth explosion a few hundred meters (yards) away struck near the edge of the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage site that has been heavily damaged during more than two months of fierce fighting between rebels and government forces for control of the Aleppo.
Rebels last week announced a new concerted push to capture Aleppo, where they have been battling with regime troops since July. Syria's largest city and a major commercial hub, Aleppo was for a long time free of the violence that engulfed much of the rest of the country, but now has been devastated as rebels try to wrest a major strategic prize from the regime of President Bashar Assad.
The bloodshed is increasingly spreading outside Syria's borders.
In Aleppo, footage broadcast on state-run Ikhbariya TV showed massive damage around Saadallah al-Jabri Square, which also houses a famous hotel and a coffee shop that had been popular with regime forces. One building appeared to
On Wednesday, a shell fired from inside Syria landed on a home in neighboring Turkey, killing at least three people, including a 6-year-old boy, said Abdulhakim Ayhan, mayor of the Turkish town of Akcakale. Turkey's state-owned Anadol Agency reported angry townpeople marched to the mayor's office to protest the deaths.

The resident said the officers' club and the hotel were almost completely destroyed. His account could not be immediately verified. The resident declined to be identified for fear of reprisals.
A syrian government official said the number of deaths would likely increase because many of the wounded were in critical condition. Regime troops killed two more would-be suicide bombers before they could detonate their explosives, he said on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations.
have been leveled to the ground. The facade of another was heavily damaged.
Syria's state-run SANA news agency said the bombings early Wednesday killed at least 34 people and wounded 122, blaming the attack on "terrorists."
"It was like a series of earthquakes," a shaken resident told The Associated Press by telephone. "It was terrifying, terrifying."
Syrian state TV showed the bodies of three men wearing army uniforms at the site of the explosions. One of them appeared to be wearing an explosive belt with a timer tied to his wrist.
Aleppo-based activist Mohammad Saeed said the explosions went off minutes apart at one of the city's main squares. He said the blasts appeared to have been caused by car bombs and were followed by clashes and heavy gunfire.
"The area is heavily fortified by security and the presence of shabha," he said, referring to pro-regime gunmen. "It makes you wonder how car bombs could reach there."
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said at least 40 people were killed and around 90 wounded in the four blasts, most of them members of the regime forces.

'Happiest 5K on the planet'takes stride Saturday

As runners and walkers pass through the blue station of The Color Run in Kansas City on July 1, most participants slowed down, or rolled on the ground, to cover themselves with as much color as possible.
University of Kansas students are ready for the "happiest," craziest 5K run of their lives. The Color Run will paint Lawrence red and blue... and yellow, orange, green and pink on Saturday, Oct. 6.
The excitement surrounding The Color Run attracts experienced runners and amateurs alike, and it introduces more people to an active lifestyle.
"It appeals to anyone, whether they're intense athletes or just looking for a good time," said Rachel Seitz, a sophomore from Hutchinson. "I know girls who have expressed interest in the run even though they don't run or like running."
Jackson Cozzens, a spokesperson for The Color Run, said The Color Run has motivated all types of runners.
"The Color Run has been an
inspiration to a lot of people to get out and get active", Cozzens said. "Although we do see a lot of serious runners come out to experience a non-timed event, the majority of people are less-experienced runners."
Participants will run five kilometers (slightly more than three miles.) and will be doused with colorful powdered paint at each of the four kilometers leading up to the finish. At the end of the race, runners enter a color explosion. The Color Run's video on YouTube explains the race best.
The run gained popularity quickly through social networking sites. Pictures and videos of paint-splattered runners dressed in all white blew up on sites such as Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. This year, The Color Run became the fastest growing running event in history, according to a Color Run news release.
Seitz and Rachel Volk, a freshman from Newton, both heard
about the run on Pinterest. Seitz and Volk will run with a group from Miller Scholarship Hall, where they both live.
"I was going to do it on my own, but I asked people if they
Cozzens quoted Travis Snyder, the executive director and creator of The Color Run, about the idea of creating a nontreat
ening running event.
"Doing The Color Run is more about being social, a little more about the experience and mostly just about being," Snyder said. "It's less about expectation; it's just fun."
Stephen Opskar, a junior from Derby, is a personal trainer at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center and plans to run in The Color Run next weekend. He said the social aspect of running helps to get people more involved.
"I especially with me, if I don't want to go run and I don't have someone else to go with me, then I won't do it," Opskar said. "If you have a partner, it holds you more accountable."
A study by Gallup and Healthways supports what some students have already noticed: Americans are exercising more this year. Opskar he sees more runners at the Ambler recreation center this year than last
year.
"I know a lot of people that don't really run, but they want to do The Color Run, so they start running," Opskar said. "I think people are realizing that they need to get out there and do something."
More people have started running because of The Color Run, Volk said, and it appeals to a variety of runners.
"It's not your typical 5K," Volk said. "It's more of a friendly get-together 5K; an activity rather than a workout."
Bob Sanner, the executive director of the Lawrence Sports Corporation, said more than 6,300 runners and walkers signed up to participate as of Sep. 24. The Color Run will be in Downtown Lawrence this Saturday at 4 p.m.

...
Author Eula Biss will visit campus today for a literature discussion with students at 5 p.m. in the lobby of the Kansas Union. Biss is the author of "Notes from No Man's Land," a collection of essays chosen by the University for this year's KU Common Book reading program.

HANNAH BARLING hbarling@kansan.com
Eula Biss is the author of the KU Common Book and will be visiting campus today to discuss "Note from No Man's Land: American Essays."
"I'm trying to unravel the knot of experiences, to figure out why I feel uncomfortable," Biss said.
The book addresses issues including race, place and identity. Biss said a lot of her essays come from experiences that left her unsettled, wondering and full of questions.
Christina Kerns, program coordinator of Office of First-Year Experience, said it makes the whole experience more useful for students. Kerns said attending the event will be beneficial because it encourages critical thinking and dialogue that has already been happening but will now take place on an even higher level.
Biss earned her BA in nonfiction writing from Hampshire College and her MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of Iowa. She now is an Artist in Residence at Northwestern University teaching writing.
"My work is so concerned with thinking about the community, and it is very meaningful to me that a whole community across a campus is engaging in my book," Biss said.
"Notes from No Man's Land: American Essays" was chosen as KU's first common book, described by the Office if Public Affairs as a "campuswide initiative to engage first-year students" in a discussion of important modern issues. Biss said being chosen was a "tremendous honor" for her.
As a writer, Biss said that it's interesting to talk with readers, because most don't get that opportunity.
"It puts a face to a work the students have seen as academic," Kerna said. "It's a unique opportunity."
CAMPAIGN ON CAMPUS
Some of the questions laid out in the book are some of the fundamental questions of identity that college students deal with.
Biss wrote a lot of "Notes from No Man's Land: American Essays" while she was very young, just out of college. It is a coming-of-age story and took her seven to 10 years to complete. The book addresses the process of growing up and parallels it to America's maturation from a young nation to a more adult nation. It explores how to come to terms with issues of our nation's past.
"I'm trying to reckon what it means to be a young white woman in this country and my responsibilities as that," Biss said.
Student Union Activities' Tea at Three will be hosting a casual conversation with Biss in the
Traditions area on the fourth floor of the Union. "Who, Then, is One's Neighbor?" will be a conversation with students about Biss' book "Notes from No Man's Land: American Essays" at 5 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom. The Commons of Spooner Hall will be hosting "Coffee and Conversation" with Eula Fusa on Friday at 9 a.m.
"In the deepest sense, it's kind of picking up where I left off," Biss said
Biss is currently working on a book about vaccination and its history and politics, a completely different subject. She's discovered that some of the concerns are surprisingly similar.

Americans said goodbye to flip phones a long time ago. Today we eagerly welcome smartphones into our hearts and into our hands.
When to turn your smart phone off
According to a study done this year by Edison Research, 44 percent of Americans own a smartphone; a figure that increased from 35 percent since May 2011.
Grrreeeennnn bee... wait... DAMMIT!!
The divide is pretty even on men and women that own smartphones but the dominant age group isn't necessarily a group that brings in the most amount of money to afford these expensive phones. Chances are if you're reading this article, you're included in the 18 to 29-year-old age group known as "millennials."

Nearly the entire row in front of them was doing the exact same thing. You would think they were all on a secret mission of the utmost urgency but in fact, they were probably just reading celebrity gossip or sports stats.
Smartphones are addictive.

I often compare the mannerisms and habits of people around me with the people I encountered this summer while studying abroad in Paris.

What would Jesus do?
A couple of weeks ago, Harvard professor Karen L. King discovered a centuries-old scrap of parchment that mentions Jesus's "wife," a find that is being hailed as the greatest feat of archaeology since an Oxford researcher recovered an enormous bar tab from a restaurant in Cairo last November.
By Sylas May
smay@kansan.com
While King wrote in her paper that the discovery doesn't "provide evidence of Jesus being married," I'd be willing to bet that high-ranking clergymen are storming around the Vatican right now, cursing her name and shouting, "Do you have any idea about the rewrites we'll have to do?" I can't say for sure that there's going to be new Gospels about Jesus lounging around the house with his wife and kids, but I have taken the liberty to write three new texts from an upcoming Gospel of Mom.
THE MOTHER-IN-LAW'S VISIT
When the time for Passover was fulfilled, Jesus and His family were seated at table, and His wife did whisper to Him, "Why did you have to invite Your mom?"
And Jesus did say to her,
"What do you have against My
mom?"
"She just has that 'holier-thanthou' attitude, you know." His
wife replied. "News flash: not everybody gets to be immaculately conceived. And she gets everything she wants so easily, too! Like at our family reunion last year, when she got to go first in the stone-skipping contest!"
THE FEEDING OF THE FIVE ANNOYING CHILDREN
And so it was that Jesus's wife besought Him: "Honey, could you rustle up some grub? The kids are getting crankier by the minute, and if You don't feed them, You'll be in for a storm that even You can't calm!"
And Jesus said to her, "I cooked every night for the past week-and-a-half! Why can't you do it tonight?"
"Look, Honey. I'm not expecting the Last Supper here. Just do laves and fish again. That'll be fine."
And when she had said that, one of Jesus's sons came in and did complain in a mighty voice: "Blech! Every time Dad makes
loaves and fish, we have to eat leftovers for lunch for A WEEK!
Why can't we order a pizza?"
And Jesus' wife did say to her son, "Alright," and to her Husband, "Honey, could You call and order it?"
"No, you do it," He replied. "The Lord helps them that help themselves!"
ON THE WAY TO THE FOOTBALL GAME
And Jesus did beseec His wife to let Him hang out with the apostles that evening: "But honey, I've got to go over and watch the game!" The Saints are playing tonight!
BASKETBALL
"What in Your name has gotten into you?" she replied. "It's a Sunday night; You can't even bother to keep Your own day holy?" And she did point to the twelve bottles of water that He was carrying, and said, "And don't think I don't know what You're going to do with those! I don't want You driving back here drunk!"
But Jesus did reassure her, saying, "Relax, honey; I've got it taken care of. Judas said he'd give Me a ride home."

CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
'Late Night'at last
By Stephanie Bickel
sbickel@kansan.com
The void in my heart has yet to be filled. I've tried to ignore the fact that it's gone, but I'm still left empty every April through October. I've rooted for the Jayhawk football team every Saturday and noted volleyball scores in the Kansan. And "Monday Night Football" is always good. But any University of Kansas student, especially the new freshman walking around campus, should know that there is no place like Allen Fieldhouse. Believe it or not, there are actually students that have never attended a game at the Fieldhouse.
Allen Fieldhouse's atmosphere is unlike any other stadium in the nation. Students spend weeks camping to get the best seats in the house. If that doesn't say something about the pure dedication and love the students have, then I don't know what does. The moment you walk in, you can feel the students' excitement. From students ripping up paper confetti, to saying the eerie Rock Chalk Chant (there's no "woo," by the way) there's never a dull moment. Once tipoff starts, the place is deafening. Oh, and don't even think about sitting down.
Even if you aren't a sports fan, you're missing out. I think every student should experience at least one basketball game, if not more.
Being in Allen Fieldhouse, you feel so united with your fellow classmates. To see thousands of students go absolutely crazy for their team and be nationally recognized as one of the best student sections is a big deal.
A day after a big win, the campus is always so full of joy. For me, I can just feel the positive energy radiate through Jayhawk Boulevard. For non-basketball fans, it may seem
like a normal day. Personally, I am appalled when I hear someone say they've never attended a basketball game. It's one of KU's biggest and most exciting traditions. Once you step into that building and feel the energy, your outlook on basketball will most likely change. It is really more than just a game.
Being a Jayhawk creates so many bonds between strangers. It's great being able to walk down the street in some random town and saying "Rock Chalk" to a complete stranger. Because of that crimson and blue shirt with the Jayhawk on the front, you have just made an instant connection with an otherwise complete stranger. And there's no doubt that basketball is the driving force behind the camaraderie.
Late Night in the Phog is approaching on Oct. 13, it's a fun event for everyone. Late Night typically referred to as "Midnight Madness" at other schools, signifies the first official practice for the men and women's teams. It includes both teams singing, dancing, and performing skits. And of course, it's always a great way to check out the year's talent during the scrimmages. Late Night is one of the best forms of entertainment from some big campus names. It is unlike any other university's Midnight Madness.
Although, it is true that there are sports at Kansas other than basketball and all of them should get attention. Kansas should have the same attitude about other sports as it does about basketball. That positive outlook, the crazy student section, and forming simple bonds are all a part of the experience that should be carried onto other sports. Basketball, however, is just so full of tradition. The Rock Chalk Chant, singing the Alma Mater, and holding up the Kansan during the opponent's starting lineup are just a few of many examples. Basketball is what many students live for at Kanas, and I don't see that ever changing.

Those sticking around Lawrence for fall break will have plenty of
opportunities to keep busy with events in the area.
If your Friday night plans are looking bare, check out Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
along with Clap Your Hands Says Yeah, performing at Crossroads, 417 E. 18th St., in Kansas City, Mo. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and general admission tickets are $20 each.
Tickets can be purchased through the Crossroads KC website.
Krista Jarboe, a freshman from Girard, will be attending the concert with her friend. They were planning on going to Chicago for break, but after seeing a flyer for the concert, they decided it was too good to miss.
"I'm really looking forward to just seeing the band's performance," Jarboe said. "I've seen so many videos of them, and they really get into it. They seem so happy on stage, it's contagious. Also because of Edward Sharpe's beautiful voice."
If you're wanting to improve your photography skills or showcase your talents, the first Photo Walk sponsored by the Lawrence Art Guild and the Lawrence Photo Alliance will be on Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. in downtown Lawrence.
The walk will feature fun events like a mapped photo scavenger hunt, a mystery photo match quiz, a film swap as well as chances to take photos at different "tech points" in Lawrence. These venues will be set up around town and serve to give photographers opportunities to capture photos from different events such as the Color
Run.
Local photographers Roger Spohn and Robbin Loomas will also be there to discuss their experiences in shooting the architecture in the area.
"It's good networking for students if they want to meet local photographers," said Amanda Monaghan, president of the Lawrence Art Guild. Monaghan said the Photo Walk is open to people with all levels of experience.
Photos taken during the walk will have the opportunity to be exhibited at the Watkins Community Museum of History during the Final Fridays Art Walks later in December.

The Blackberry Bushes Stringband will be performing the release of their new EP "At the Break" in Lawrence on Oct. 7. Hailing from Olympia, Washington, the string-folk group incorporates styles of bluegrass, folk, indie, jazz and more into their Americana-rooted sound. Their music has often been compared to that of the Avett Brothers and the Dixie Chicks. The three-piece group consists of "sister sirens" Jes Raymond and Kendl Winter, along with Jakob Breitbach on the fiddle and mandolin. Jes and Kendl met at an open mic in Olympia and eventually started getting together to learn tunes, which eventually turned into songwriting, Jakob didn't join until later.
The Blackberry Bushes debut studio album 'Little Bit of Grace' was self-released in 2010.
Over time the band has developed into a international act, adding shows in Europe to their tour schedule. However, this will be the group's last tour including Winter.
Jes spoke about how Blackberry Bushes is an ongoing project, and for an artist to leave the group is natural for them.
"I think that keeping one group together over the long haul is a really challenging thing to do, especially with one project," Jes said. "We keep a core group, but the band kind of expands and contracts as it needs to."
However, Kendl has always been a vital member, and her absence will be "probably the biggest change that the band has faced so far," Jes said.
the core, so it is a big change. Even though it's a big change, it's also a time for a lot of new creativity, so we're all looking forward to that," she said.
The group already has a new member, Lawrence native Max Paley on mandolin. This will be the group's first show back in his hometown.

Folk duo sing social justice

Sandy O. and Pat Humphries make up Emma's Revolution, a progressive folk duo. The two will be in Lawrence on Oct. 4 at the Unitarian Fellowship of Lawrence to perform a release concert of their new album, "Revolutions Per Minute." This will be the pair's first time playing in Kansas.
Not sure what exactly progressive music is?
"When people hear about progressive music, they have all sorts of ideas that they project," Sandy O. said. "We work hard to tell amazing stories because we hear amazing stories. We sing songs about a lot of important issues, but there is a lot of satire and irony, and we understand the importance as Emma Goldman did, of finding a balance."
Emma, of Emma's Revolution, is no member of the group but rather a member of many social rights movements for which both Sandy O. and Humphries advocate. Emma Goldman (1869-1940) was an activist from Lithuania known for stating, "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution," a quote that Sandy O. and Humphries have adapted as a mantra of their own.

"It's a good way to sum up the kind of music that we write," Humphries said. "We write about social justice, but are conscious of the fact that it's important to lead our audience with a sense of hope and possibility to help fuel the work that is required to get people in a better world."
When asked which cause Sandy O. felt most personally connected to, she answered, "For myself, right

Bassnectar in town
rwright@kansan.com
Lorin Ashton, otherwise known as "Bassnectar" is bringing his Fall 2012 tour here to Lawrence at Burcham Park this Friday. Oct. 5. Bassnectar is no stranger to Lawrence, as he's made stops here for the last few years. Fresh off releasing an album earlier this year and a recent five-week tour in Europe, Lawrence is the sixth stop on the fall tour. Ghostland Observatory, Gramatik and Gladkill will also perform at the concert.
His latest album, "Vava Voom."
Bassnectar is a top artist in the breakbeat/dubstep community; through a series of album releases, EPs and remixes, he's built a large fanbase. The freeform DJ is known for his bright, high-energy live performances and his engagement with his fans (often replying to their questions on Twitter). This year has been busy for Ashton, who released his ninth solo album, a free mixtape featuring unreleased content, and embarked on two tours. Bassnectar is known for his considerable touring, playing hundreds of shows the last few years.
Fans across campus are getting excited for Bassnectar's performance.
has been his most experimental yet, collaborating with artists of other genres such as Lupe Fiasco. The DJ is also a supporter of free press and nonprofit organizations; he launched the "Dollar per Bass Head" campaign, which takes a dollar from every Bassnectar ticket sold and donates it to a nonprofit organization of the fans choice.
"Bassnectar just gets the people going, you know?" said Noah Benham, a freshman from Lawrence. "I love music with a lot of contrast, and Bassnectar achieves that really well."
Alicia Croci, a sophomore from Ottawa, Kan., enjoys Bassnectar's originality.
"I like how Bassnectar's music is so different from what you hear on the radio," Croci said. "It's really close to dubstep, and I'm into the black-light techno dance music."
Doors open at 5 p.m., music starts at 6 p.m., and the show is expected to end by 11:15 p.m. The Granada will be hosting an afterparty.

DERRYBERRY WEEKEND WARRIOR
Derryberry
By Dylan Derryberry
dderryberry@kansan.com
When I was younger, I was always the kid with the Batman cape on. Whether it was the end of October or the middle of June, I didn't need an excuse to don the Dark Knight's gear. Needless to say Hallowen has always been a pretty big deal for me, so when fall finally hits, all of my work, school and attention take a backseat to the glorious art of costume crafting. This would certainly be the case this month, but I started a tad bit early this year.
Join the Zombie Walk downtown for a spooky start to October.
I celebrate Halloween. Seven days, seven costumes. As we get closer to this glorious holiday, I'll go into more detail about exactly what I'm wearing, but as can be imagined, that takes a bit of preparation. What makes this year interesting, though, is that I'm finally going to make it out to the Lawrence Zombie Walk and will use that costume for Halloween as well.
As obsessed as kid-Dylan was with costumes, high school-Dylan was equally intrigued with zombies, so combining the two is pretty much as good as it gets for
modern-Dylan. The Zombie Walk is downtown tonight at 6 p.m. and gives Lawrence civilians the chance to become the undead in a variety of ways. In 2011, the Walk saw about 850 brainearners crawl along Mass Street, and organizers expect even more this year. So grab those dirty, torn-up clothes you thought you'd never be able to wear again, and join the army of darkness. Even if your makeup skills are less than realistic, students from the Marinelle School of Beauty will be at South Park to offer the face and body painting to the unprepared.
Although the streets will be covered with the leg-dragging, shouldly-clothed ghouls, I decided to stray a bit from the mold on my costume. While hundreds of the undead roam the streets of Lawrence, I'll be doing my part to end the deadle reign of terror as Ash Williams, from Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" film series. For those lacking in knowledge of groovy B horror movies, on a seemingly harmless trip to a cabin in the woods, Ash accidentally unleases the power of the Necronicon Ex-Mortis, roughly translated as The Book of the Dead. The evil got his girlfriend and even poisoned his own hand, which he later had to cut off with a chainsaw, but Ash has to fix the problem he started. So armed with a sawed off shotgun and a chainsaw replacement for his own hand, he stands up to the evil undead. In the sequel, he's sent to medieval times to save a kingdom
Taylor Cook, a KU graduate from Lawrence, gets deeply into character as a zombie while crossing 11th St. at Massachusetts. He trails Tanner Spreeer, a KU graduate from Wamego. Both were participants in the fifth annual zombie walk.

from the reign of a deadite army.
Like I said, fantastically awesome.
I've spent the past couple of weeks creating my chainsaw hand out of a juice jug, as well as bloodying up some old clothes I got from
the Salvation Army, so there have been some late nights that are totally worth it. Not to mention I've been preparing costumes for my girlfriend and dog as well, as Resident Evil's ass-kicking Alice
and an Umbrella Corporation soldier. You haven't seen awesome until you've seen a corgi in a tactical vest.
So take a break from expanding your brains for a chance to (pretend) to eat them instead. Whether you completely zomb-out or just stop by to watch Lawrence's living dead, you definitely need to check out this parasite parade.

New Mumford & Sons album breaks record
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — The music industry has been grappling with the following question for the last few years: Do streaming services such as Spotify, which allow users to listen to albums for free, cannibalize sales? Leave it to a banjo-wielding English folk-rock band to provide one very loud answer.
"Babel," the sophomore album from Mumford & Sons released on Glassnote Records last week, has had the biggest debut sales week of 2012, selling approximately 600,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.
That number, revealed Tuesday, bests first-week totals from such A-list pop stars as justin Bieber and Madonna and did so while being streamed more than 8 million times on Spotify.
Before the release of "Babel," the bestselling debut of 2012 belonged to Bieber's "Believe" which opened with 374,000 copies sold.
"You're talking about a much artist," said Dave Bakula, a senior executive for Nielsen. "This is an album-driven artist. They're not going to have one single solitary hit that defines the album. People want everything they can get from this artist, and that's where you get
"Babel's" 8 million-plus streams are more than three times that of the previous record holder, said Kenneth Parks, Spotify's chief content officer, although Parks refused to reveal the title.
large album sales."
"Our streaming numbers sit alongside a very healthy sales volume," said Parks, whose service boasts more than 15 million worldwide users.

Spotify has been criticized for offering lower royalty payments than labels and artists would get from album sales. Other big name artists, such as Coldplay, have opted to withhold new albums from Spotify during the week of release, fearing that the ad-driven free service would hurt sales.

Glassnote Records founder Daniel Glass said that Spotify is "retraining people to buy music through streaming services. Could we be getting better compensation? Yes, but I'm not going to hold it back from them. That's old thinking."
Mumford & Sons, which will headline a sold-out Hollywood Bowl show on Nov. 10, has been playing most, if not all, of the songs on "Babel" live for months.
"The fans can take the songs off YouTube, obviously, but they want the produced album. So there's still a record business," said Glass. "For now."

Kendrick Lamar, an upcoming rap artist, will release his first album, "Good Kid, m.A.A.d City," on Oct. 22 on Dr. Dre's label, Aftermath Entertainment.
New music yet to come for 2012
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
2012 has shaped up to be, for the most part, a superb year for music. Artists are really putting out solid projects. Now that the leaves are changing colors, here's what to look forward to for the rest of the year across all genres.
Taylor Swift – “Red”: America’s favorite country superstar is back this fall with the release of her fourth LP “Red.” The album’s leading single “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” has topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts for the last several weeks. Swift looks to continue singing about her personal favorite subject, love, but she’s taking a different direction with the music side by venturing out of country music a bit.
Kendrick Lamar – "Good Kid, m.A.A.d city": If you're one of those people who still believe rap music lacks substance, you clearly aren't
familiar with Kendrick Lamar. Lamar is fixing his major label debut with "Good Kid, m.A.A.D city" under Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. Lamar made it clear he's one of rap's most promising emcees with his independently released album, "Section.80." Ever since he's been making show-stalking guest features with everyone from Drake to Rick Ross. Even Lady Gaga is a fan, as she'll be featured on this album.
Ke$ha – “Warrior”: Love her or hate her, Ke$ha is back in 2012 with her sophomore album, “Warrior”. Ke$ha had a great year in 2010, releasing her EP “Cannibal” and her debut album, “Animal”, which spawned the mega-hit “Tik Tok”. Ke$ha looks to continue her string of dance-pop hits with this album.
The Weeknd - "Trilogy". Coming off an international tour and signing his first deal with Republic, the Weeknd is set to release his major labor debut. "Trilogy" is basically a
mastered version of the three mixtapes he previously released for free last year. The reason many fans are looking forward to it is he's adding new tracks to it. The Weekend has received high praise from many outlets such as MTV, who called him "the best musical talent since Michael Jackson." This fall, he'll try to live up to the hype.
Trash Talk - "119": California-native punk band Trash Talk is set to release their fourth studio album, "119," on Odd Future Records. Releasing wild videos directed by Tyler, the Creator with cameos from Wayne Brady, the group's album should be very interesting.
Those are just a few of the hyped albums releases for the rest of the year. With these — plus many more — this fall's selection of music is shaping up to make a strong finish for 2012.

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
Dracula, voiced by Adam Sandler, and Jonathan, voiced by Andy Samberg, wear different expressions in this Sony Animation Studios still shot from the movie Hotel Transylvania. Selena Gomez also voices a main character in the film.

Don't bother checking into 'Hotel Transylvania'
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
At a time when films like "ParaNorman" and "Rango" are attracting younger viewers with heartfelt stories and thrilling visuals, focus-tested flotsam like "Hotel Transylvania" can come across as bland or even cynical in comparison. Nearly every aspect of this film, from its ready-made animation style to its voice-over talent, suggests the emphasis of broad appeal over a singular creative vision.
Halloween season is off to a ghastly start with "Hotel Transylvania," a shambling monster mash where prosocial life lessons are imparted by a flatulent Frankenstein (Kevin James) and a break-dancing, Yiddish-sounding Count Dracula (Adam Sandler). No, this is not a joke. A joke requires preparation, general competence and the ability to occasionally produce laughter.
The film's main concept is interesting but poorly realized. In a world where monsters have been driven into hiding by angry human mobs, Dracula is no longer the debonair neck-nibler we come to know and fear. He's a neurotic single dad who, in a bid to keep
his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) safe from mortal clutches, builds the Hotel Transylvania as a sanctuary for his family and friends to gather every year for Mavis' birthday. Trouble comes when hapless human backpacker (Andy Samberg) stumbles into their midst and sets off Mavis's118-year-old hormones.
This doesn't sit well with the Count and his posse, which includes other notables from the Universal Monsters canon, each unceremoniously saddled with a celebrity voice and his or her worst shitty tendencies. Frankenstein and his Bride (Dran Drescher) are loud, obnoxious and obsessed with bodily fluids. The Invisible Man (David Spade) is a sardonic jackass, while the Mummy (Cee Lo Green) has a penchant for launching into blustery soul numbers. The only highlight is Steve Buscemi's downtrodden Wayne the Wolf Man, cursed with a domineering wife (Molly Shannon) and their ever-expanding litter of yippy, ravenous were-kids.
"Hotel Transylvania" was last weekend's box office champ, setting a new record for September releases and more than doubling the gross
of the spectacular new time-travel flick "Looper." So who's to blame? Start with audiences starved for spooky family entertainment, who should have been saving their money for the original Universal Monster boxed set that came out on Blu-ray this week. Then move on to the film's five credited screenwriters, including Sandler's regular accomplice Robert Smigel, and finally its director, Genndy Tarkovsky.
Tartakovsky's involvement here is puzzling. As the Russian-American whiz kid behind Cartoon Network's "Dexter's Lab," "Samurai Jack" and the original Star Wars "Clone Wars" micro-series, one would expect his big screen debut to be a startlingly original vision, clear in content and assured in purpose, not a third-rate Adam Sandler kiddie flick abandoned by no less than five previous directors. Hopefully animation's former boy wonder will choose his next project with fewer reservations.

'Idol' judges off to rocky start
TELEVISION
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — "American Idol" has barely gotten underway and a purported feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj —
they've both denied the beef — has become a full-blown diva showdown, as seen in video leaked by TMZ on Tuesday evening.
P
Carey
In the clip,
http://bit.ly/QE8Q39
Minaj and Carey are in a heated argument that reportedly derailed auditions in Charlotte, N.C.
There's plenty of swearing and shouting in the clip, so it's hard to fully decipher the argument. However, Minaj called the pop diva "disrespectful" and
Minai
the pop diva replied by calling her
a word that rhymes with "itch."
Reports claim that the fight was over a contestant's performance and that Minaj threatened she was going to "knock out" Carey. All while poor Keith Urban, who is seated between the two, Randy Jackson and "Idol" producers tried to calm the situation.
I don't feel inadequate. You're the insecure one sittin' up there running down her resume every five minutes." Minaj yells at one point. "If you gotta ... problem then handle it. I told them, I'm not ... putting up with your ... highness over there ... figure it the ... out. Figure it out.
On "Idol" host Ryan Seacrest's radio show Wednesday morning, he confirmed the spat.
"There was a very heated, intense argument towards the end of the day after a contestant did a little bit of a performance in the room ... It did go too far, to the point where the producers said with just a few more contestants left, 'Let's call it a day,' he said.
Rumors that the two were
It was reported that Carey hung up on "Idol" producers after they told her that Minaj was in negotiations to join the show, bringing the panel back to a four-person one.
clashing surfaced the second the ink dried on Minaj's contract.
"Tension? What tension?" Carey joked with photographers when asked about the report of animosity between the two.
While the Internet is busy reacting — tweets, petitions to remove Minaj, etc. — the brass at Fox (and Seacrest) must be high-fiving one another and hoping the ratings-pumping drama continues. It's more fun to watch celebrity judges fight than contestants (just ask Paula Abdul and Kara Dioguardi).
"Idol," which is going into its 12th season in January, continues to stay a part of the conversation despite rival shows currently on the air.
An episode of "The Voice" aired Tuesday as news of the fight broke online. The high-quality Carey/Minaj video suspiciously surfaced soon after.

The Beast, 1401 W. 13th Street in Kansas City, Mo., is one of the best haunted houses in the country. It's open every weekend in October. Thursday through Sunday.

JESSICA MITCHELL
jmitchell@kansan.com
October has arrived and with it brings chilly mornings, pumpkin-flavored everything and Hallowen. Lucky for us, one of America's top rated haunted houses is within our reach.
The Beast, located in the West Bottoms of Kansas City, Mo., is one of four haunted houses owned by Full Moon Productions. Although it stands alongside The Edge of Hell. Macabre Cinema and The Chambers of Edgar Allen Poe, The Beast is the largest and one of the most terrifying haunted houses in America.
Michelle Tucker, a senior from Wichita, is visiting the haunted houses this week with hopes that they live up to their reputation.
"I haven't been [to The Beast] so it's a little bit more exciting, and I've heard good recommendations about it," Tucker said. "I think it would be better than the ones in Topeka."
Tim Diaz, 24, and Alicia Barrett,
23, travelled two hours for the beastly happenings. Diz has walked through other Full Moon haunted houses but never experienced The Beast. He is anxious to see what is in store, he said.
For the groups waiting outside. The Beast has provided video footage of horrified patrons and an over-sized werewolf that stalks the front gates.
"It's almost like they are warning you of the horrors to come," Barrett said.

on having an open layout design with no lines moving through the scenes. The house wants every guest to be a part of the action rather than simply viewing.
Barrett disagreed.
While inside the Werewolf Forest, guests are forced to find the exit in total darkness. "It drives up every abandonment issue one could ever have," The Beast's website reads. Werewolves stalk the forest every 30 minutes to aid the frantically lost or scare the frantically looking.
If guests manage to make their way through the entire haunted house, the only outlet is a four-story slide that is "straight down and

"It was plenty scary for me," she said. "There was this guy basically blocking a doorway. You have to movearound him with him standing in inches away from you - and a
guy with a chainsaw. I had my eyes closed the whole time."
Ticket pricing varies on night but can range from $23 to $27 per haunted house. Bundling for more than one haunted house is an option. Parking and hay ride to and from the houses are free. Hours of operation vary, but the houses are normally open Thursday through Sunday. Check out www.kcbeast.com for more information.

Making a classic outfit more personal
CALLAN REILLY
creilly@kansan.com
There are few outfits in this ever-changing world that never go out of style. Even 1, a fashionista, look back on outfits of mine that were recently considered "in" and shake my head in horror at the thought of wearing it again. Fads will come and go, but an always and forever go-to look is the beloved white t-shirt and jeans.
Now, now, don't be fooled by the simplicity of this outfit. You may think it's as simple as, well, wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans, but this is where you're wrong. Clothes need to properly fit you, accessories need to shine and your shoes need to be perfect. Are you wearing this outfit during daytime, or at night? What's the occasion? Where are you going? Luckily for you, sophomore Therese Diederich, a business major from St. Louis, is a perfect example for how to wear this timeless ensemble.
For a casually cool day look, Diederich pairs her blue denim shorts with a white button-up top, a great look for warm weather. Simple sandals, a gold watch and aviator sunglasses complete her outfit. Her loose-fitting shirt creates a laidback essence, which is perfect for campus. Though her outfit may be
casual, she still looks put together, and it's obvious she put thought into what she was wearing. There's a fine line between casual and sloppy, and Diederich is obviously knowledgeable.
This stylish student's outfit inspiration revolved around comfort.
"I didn't feel like wearing athletic clothes anymore," Diederich said. "I had been for a lot of days, and I just felt like wearing something a little bit nicer, so I just picked out the most comfortable thing."
A comfortable and cute look. What more could you possible want?
Diederich also likes to customize this classic look with a scarf, cowboy boots or Converse. Adding your own personal touch to this look is a must.
Taking this look from day to night can be as easy as 1-2-3. For girls — high heels, a swipe of lipstick and a statement necklace are all you need. And for guys — ironing your shirt, wearing darker shoes and actually brushing your hair can work wonders. Remembering these simple steps the next time you're stepping out in public can truly be a huge help to society.

Orchestras canceling shows
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Orchestra was called the world's greatest not long ago, welcome recognition for musicians based outside a top cultural center. Now its members are locked out of Orchestra Hall, stuck in the same kind of labor-management battle recently afflicting teachers and football referees.
Across the country, symphony and chamber orchestra executives have cited flat ticket sales and slumping private support as they seek major pay concessions from musicians, who warn of a loss of talent and reputation. In Minneap
olis, the Minnesota Orchestra has already cancelled concerts through Nov. 25 as negotiators argue over a proposal to trim the performers' average salary by $46,000 a year.
A similar standoff is under way across the Mississippi River at the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has canceled the first month of its season due to a labor impasse, and similar troubles are rumbling at orchestras in Richmond, Va., Jacksonville, Fla., and San Antonio, Texas.
"It breaks my heart," said Christal Steele, a violinist and assistant concertmaster in Indianapolis, where she and fellow musicians have gone
without pay and benefits for almost a month. "This is my 40th season, and in that time I have seen nothing but this orchestra rise in quality and in stature. Now, in one fell swoop, they're trying to erase the last 30 years."
Last week, musicians and management at symphony orchestras in Chicago and Atlanta reached new contracts after contentious negotiations. Atlanta's musicians went without pay for a month before accepting $2.5 million in compensation cuts over two years, plus reductions in their ranks. The Chicago deal came after a two-day strike that forced the cancellations of the season's first Saturday night show.

So when you hear those taunts from K-State fans as the Wildcats score another touchdown on Saturday afternoon in Manhattan, take it as a compliment. They know you're going to experience this winter what they only hope to experience in their lifetimes.
It's OK for fans to hope for better while expecting the same. Last time I checked, fans don't have a say in the outcome of games. If they did, I'd be writing this column from Vegas.

COMMENTARY Embracing basketball superiority
And so what?
Marcin Krasnacki
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
As for Kansas football, Charlie Weis may turn things around in a few years and guide Kansas to a few middling bowls before his contract is up. History tells us he won't, though.
It's a scene that's been duplicated for years. Football season starts, Kansas isn't any good, and rival fans recycle what I guess they consider to be a good old-fashioned zinger.
Bill Self just signed a contract extension that will likely keep him on the sidelines for another decade. He'll bring another national championship and a few more Final Four banners to the Fieldhouse in that span while rival programs hope to accomplish a tenth of what Self has already accomplished at Kansas.
"It's OK, it's almost basketball season," people say while pointing and laughing at the scoreboard or a Kansas fan with the "win or lose. we still booze" shirt still prevalent on Jayhawk Boulevard.
THE RIVALRY RETURNS
I'm just wondering why that's considered an insult from our friends at Kansas State or Missouri
I guess it's all a matter of opinion, but does being average instead of awful really do much for a school or fan base?
What advantages does Wisconsin's 28th all-time ranked basketball team have over Pittsburgh's team,ranked 60th in the same ESPN rankings?
What about Iowa football, which is ranked 25th in the all-time AP rankings over Oklahoma State, which is 51st on the same list?
The only school who could claim elite all-time status in both sports is probably Ohio State.
Junior linebacker Huldon Tharpe takes down his opponent from South Dakota State University during a game at Memorial Stadium where the Jayhawks won 31-17. Tharp had six tackles during the game.
There aren't any major advantages, because in college football and basketball, you have a group of a dozen or so elite programs and then everyone else.
Kansas takes advantage of bye week to prepare for in-state battle
And Kansas fans are supposed to be embarrassed that they aren't on par with the Buckeyes?
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Don't run from your one-program dominance.

This probably reads like one of those columns that rivals love to point to while making those clever taunts. I don't care, and neither should you. Late Night in the Phog is eight days away, and Kansas basketball is a top-10 team once again.
Embrace it. For a lot of schools across the country, they're stuck hoping for one of their sports to escape the prison of average for a season or two while only dreaming they had a top-five football or basketball program to follow.

As if playing in-state rival Kansas State wasn't enough to get the Kansas Jayhawks fired up, the fact that the Wildcats are ranked No. 7 in the nation just adds fuel to the fire.
When the in-state rival is one of top teams in the country and having a Heisman hopeful in Collin Klein, it just adds extra motivation.
Kansas senior safety Bradley McDougald said that having
Kansas-Kansas State rivalrv.
thing special is going to happen."
Klein as a potential Heisman candidate and the fact the Wildcats are the No.7 team in country gives them "all the extra reasons to be motivated."
Coming into a big rivalry game, the Jayhawks have a defensive coordinator in Dave Campo that knows a thing or two about rivalries. While he was a member of the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff, Campo was part of some of the biggest rivalries in the NFL and even more so within the NFC East.
One of the things that Campo said about the Cowboys and their rivalries was the fact that their was no love lost, and he would like to see that return to the
But Kansas State being ranked as highly as they are doesn't bother McDougald because it's still the in-state rival that is 83 miles west of Lawrence.
"They really could be ranked last in the BCS and we really wouldn't care, it's Kansas State and you have to come with it," McDougald said. "Especially against your rival cause some-
"I'd like to see this one be like that one all the time. I don't think that's been the case over the years," Campo said. "This is our rival and I'm excited to be a part of this big game. And it should be a big game. And if our guys aren't thinking that way, they're making a serious mistake. Because I know Kansas State is thinking that way."
Even though Campo might not see the love lost, based on the Jayhawks' current recordof 0-3 and being outscored 135-38
over the past three years, it still doesn't mean the Jayhawks like the Wildcats anv less.
"Rivalries speaks for themselves and guys understand the history behind it," senior defensive end Toben Opurum said. "You know you have to realize that the team over there doesn't like us too much. And we don't really like them. A whole lot either.

FOOTBALL
UMP FROM PAGE 1A
Equally important is senior Colin Klein, K-State's powerful, run-heavy quarterback whom Kansas will have to stop for a chance at victory.
Klein isn't an elusive runner, but he's strong enough to break away from defenders with ease. Kansas defensive coordinator Dave Campo compared Klein to Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his ability to escape tackles and make plays.
To prepare for a quarterback who breaks tackles, Campo's defense needed to practice taking down the signal caller — even if it meant hitting senior quarterback Davine Crist.
"A lot of the guys on defense were excited," senior defensive end Toben Opurum said. "We're used to pulling up and making sure to do anything possible to not touch the quarterback. It was better that we could let loose and tee off."
But Crist wasn't opposed to the hitting. The change in jerseys not only helped Crist practice fullgame speed but also forced him to step up in the pocket under real pressure. Crist said the last two weeks were some of the best practices Kansas has had all year.
Even though Crist was under duress, he didn't have the most
pressure to perform in practice. That rested on the offensive linemen, who now had the responsibility of making sure their top quarterback didn't get injured.
"It really changes the offensive line's sense of urgency." Marongelli said. "We're all out there making sure nothing comes close to the quarterbacks. If you lose your quarterback, that's your season right there."
Campo said the return of the red jerseys is week-to-week, depending on what Kansas will practice to be successful on Saturday.
To be successful against K-State, it comes down to stopping the black-and-blue run game that has become synonymous with Klein and the Wildcats.
P. CLARK 36
"This is not a trickery and deceit team." Weis said of K-State. "They are going to smash it down your throat, and you better be ready to tackle both the quarterback and the running back, because they are going to have the ball in their hands a whole bunch of times."
Senior quarterback Dayne Crist scrambles up the middle for a positive gain during a game against Northern Illinois.
CHELSEY BOUTAN/KANSAN
Defensive backs coach Clint Bowen said that Klein presents a lot of the same challenges that Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch posed two weeks ago. Lynch ended up gaining 372 total yards on the Jayhawks and leading Northern Illinois to a 17-point fourth quarter that wiped away a 10-point Kansas lead.
Which brings Charlie Weis to the other reason he took away the red jerseys: finishing.
According to Weis, hitting in practice is just the remedy.
(    )
"That's part of teaching people how to finish, which has been one of our bigger problems, as is well documented." Weis said, "And I think there's only one way of doing
it and that's old-fashioned football, it's beat 'em up."

THE MORNING BREW Lakers complete massive overhaul in the offseason
The Los Angeles Lakers are locked and loaded for the upcoming NBA season and are serious NBA
NBA season and are serious NBA championship contenders. The Lakers traded Andrew Bynum to the Philadelphia 76ers and brought in arguably the league's best center in Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic. The Howard drama lasted forever, but he is now ready to team up with Kobe Bryant and the newly-acquired point guard Steve Nash to form this dynamic trio.
By Drew Harms
dharms@kansan.com
Nash, the future Hall of Fame point guard, will be in his 16th season in the league, and he is likely to retire after playing out his three-year contract worth $27 million in Los Angeles. Throughout Nash's career as the Phoenix Suns starting point guard, his many accolades include a two-time MVP award and eight All-Star appearances. The only crucial part missing on Nash's exclusive resume is an NBA championship.
The projected starting lineup for the Lakers is the following: Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Metta World Peace, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard. These five projected starters for the Lakers combine for 33 All-Star appearances and eight championships (Kobe in the lead with 14 All-Stars and five championships).
The Lakers' bench is highlighted by Antawn Jamison, Jodie Meeks and Jordan Hill. The veteran Jamison will be able to come in and stretch defenses with his ability to shoot from the perimeter. Meeks is an explosive guard who can score in a variety of ways, and Hill is a center who can come in whenever Howard needs a breather or gets
in foul trouble. Howard is battling a bad back and wasn't supposed to be ready to play until December, but it looks as if he'll be able to play for the season opener.
Although this team looks unreal on paper, it must develop chemistry if the队 wants to get past some of the other elite Western conference teams (Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Suprs) in the playoffs. Kobe doesn't have to take 30 shots a game. The Lakers are more balanced and the ball will be in Nash's hands a good amount, too.
Nash is one of the best pick-and-roll players in the league and will be able to keep opposing defenses off balanced. When running the pick-and-roll, Nash will have multiple options such as being able to drive to the basket, throwing the "alley-oop" to Howard, pulling up for a jumper if his defender gives him too much space, kicking the ball out to Gasol for an 18-foot jumpshot (that will most likely be wide open) or kicking it out to an open three-point shooter.
If none of these options are available, which is not likely unless they are facing a great defensive team, then Nash can give it to Bryant on a post-up and let him go one-on-one. Once the chemistry for this队 is in-sync they will be very dangerous, and Nash will likely put up some gigantic assist numbers.
This new Lakers team cannot be selfish in order to be great this season, and I don't think they will. Kobe's scoring should decrease from the past few seasons because of the additions of Howard and Nash. Look for his shooting percentage to go up, however, because Kobe will not have to force contested shots or shoot over double teams as much.
This year Kobe should be able to make more plays in the role of a facilitator when he gets the ball. Kobe has always and will always continue to be a scorer first, but he will have to give the ball up more and let the two other superstars and role players display their talent. Being a facilitator is something Kobe is not necessarily known for, but his adjustment to be more of a facilitator is crucial for the team's success. I think Kobe will accept his role and not care about how many points he ends up with each game as long as the team gets a win.
KU
It's also essential that the trio (Kobe, Howard and Nash) get the role players more involved. This will help the role players' confidence and will play a huge factor in how much they produce when coming off the bench. If one of the stars is being double-teamed, struggling in the game or in foul
trouble, a role player can come in off the bench and be able to step up and fill in what ever role is needed.
The Miami Heat are the favorites to repeat and win the title in the 2012-2013 season. The Lakers are the favorites to play the Heat in the NBA Finals because of the off-season All-Star acquisitions. However, the Thunder are not just going to lay over for the Lakers. They are now dangerous because even though they are still a young team, getting to the Finals last year showed the potential this team has. Kevin Durant is the league's best pure scorer, and the Thunder feature a talented trio in James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Durant. This season features three or four dominant teams, and fans are excited for the season to get underway.

With a little luck and great timing, the soccer team managed a double-overtime victory over TCU on Sunday.
Now Kansas will try to raise its intensity and improve its consistency as it faces some strong teams in the upcoming weeks.
PAGE 38
"It was an interesting weekend," coach Mark Francis said. "It was tough to play on Sunday. By the end of regulation, we were a little deflated, but we talked about it. We messed up, but the game was still there for the taking, and we were able to dominate the overtime periods."
Kansas will host the West Virginia Mountaineers this Friday. The Mountaineers are 7-3-3 so far this year. West Virginia struggled early on in the season but persevered. The team now is riding a five-game win streak, which includes an eight-game unbeaten streak. West Virginia has only been shutout twice this year. On the other hand the Mountaineers have shut out five teams themselves. West Virginia allowed 13 goals so far this year, the same mark as Kansas.
The Mountaineers have a versatile squad this year, with 11 different players finding the back of the net. They are led in scoring by
junior forward Frances Silva, who has eight goals, and sophomore forward Kate Schwindel, who has seven goals.

"I think we're playing pretty well for the most part, individually and collectively."
The Jayhawk defense will be able strengthen its security of the final third of the pitch with the return of senior defender Cassie Dickerson, who got injured earlier in the season.
Kansas will not be left idling during fall break as it will be preparing for three matches on the road in a course of just over a week. On Sunday, the Jayhawks will travel and face the Wake Forest Demon Decons, a team that is 9-3-1 on the season and 3-2 in conference. Wake Forest has been on a roller coaster of success the past five matches, alternating victories and losses. They most recently shut out Clemson at home,
4-0, and are slotted to play Virginia before welcoming the Jayhawks on Sunday.
On Oct. 12, the Jayhawks will take on the Oklahoma Sooners, who hold a 4-6-4 record overall and 0-2-2 in conference play. The

Oklahoma Sooners are traveling through a rough patch this season, not securing a victory since early September. They haven't given up easily, though. The Sooners have
had six of their matches going into double-overtime, four of which the Sooners managed to tie.
It will be their hard will and determination that Kansas will need to break in order to add a win to the record books. The Jayhawks will then travel to take on Texas on Oct. 14.
"I think we're playing pretty well for the most part, individually and collectively, so I think we just need to maintain that and continue to push to a higher level," Francis said.
The Jayhawks will play at home this Friday before another trip on the road, with the game starting earlier than normal at 4 p.m. at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

"You have to spend so much time trying to stop (Klein) as a runner, it obviously exposes you in the pass game," said Weis, whose job it will be on Saturday to find an answer when the Jayhawks visit the Wildcats for the first time in his tenure at Kansas.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
They've already thrown for 758 yards through four games, an increase of nearly 50 percent over last year, and quarterback Collin Klein is completing about 70 percent of his throws. So far, he's connected on 15 plays of at least 20 years, more than double this point last season.
MANHATTAN, Kan. — In a league of high-powered offenses that love to air it out, Kansas State is a misfit.
"Sometimes they get some really easy money because you have to come up and stop him," Weis said. "If you can't stop him, you don't have much of a chance to win the game."
The No. 7 Wildcats would prefer, in the words of Kansas coach Charlie Weis, to "am it down your throat every single play." But an improved passing game has allowed the Wildcats to be more balanced, and that's made them even more difficult to stop than last season.
FOOTBALL

86 SCOONERS 20
As long as Bill Snyer is at the helm, Kansas State isn't likely to abandon its steady, clock-eating approach in favor of a full-on shootout mentality, the kind that resulted in West Virginia's 70-63 basketball-like final score last Saturday over Baylor.
Jayhawks focus on Klein
Kansas State kick returner Tramaine Thompson (86) jumps over Oklahoma linebacker Tom Wort (21) in the fourth quarter of a football game in Norman, Okla. Kansas State won 24-19.
Still, it looks like the Wildcats' goal of a more balanced offense is being realized.
Klein is integral to the system, but credit is also due the group of offensive linemen who have protected the Heisman Trophy hopeful well despite injury problems.
The Wildcats have been without right guard Boston Stirverson and left guard Nick Puetz most of the season. As a result, the lone returning starter is center
"They work together so well," Snyder said. "Pass protection, so much of it is communication prior to and after the snap of the football, being able to adjust to a variety of different things that can take place."
B. J. Finney, Senior Cornelius Lucas, redshirt freshman Cody Whitehair, junior college transfer Tavon Rooks and junior Keenan Taylor have been counted on to pick up the slack.
Besides providing competent pass protection, the offensive line's discipline is a major reason why Kansas State has been assessed just eight penalties for 64 yards over four games. The Wildcats are far and away the best in the Big 12 at avoiding yellow flags — the next team in line is Kansas, which has racked up 18 penalties for 129 yards.
While the senior quarterback has worked extensively on his delivery since the summer, his most important reason for newfound success could be his relationships with those on the other end of his passes: wide receivers Tramine Thompson, Tyler Lockett, Curry Sexton and Chris Harper.
Another boon to the passing game has been Klein's chemistry with his pass catchers.
Snyder said the feel between quarterback and receiver, the comfort and familiarity that comes only with many repetitions, has developed between Klein and his teammates.
"It's having that good understanding of who's going to where and when and how they're going to get there and when the ball's going to get there," Snyder said.

A's complete comeback
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif. — Josh Hamilton made one thing clear: The Texas Rangers will forget their stunning season-ending sweep at Oakland and regroup as an American League wild card.
Texas needed one win against the upstart Athletics in three games, and didn't get it.
"You guys have a hard time believing we can forget about it and move ahead," Hamilton said. "But that's what we get paid to do. We'll go home, regroup and figure out what we have to do."
The Athletics captured the AL West with another improbable rally in a season full of them, coming back from four runs down and a 13-game division deficit to stun the two-time defending league champion Rangers 12-5 on Wednesday.
Hamilton dropped a fly ball in center field for a two-run error that put the As (94-68) ahead 7-5 in a six-run fourth inning. The As only added to Texas' troubles the best of the way.
"You can have all the expe
frience as you want but when you run into a team that's hot, experience has nothing to do with it", Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
While Texas (93-69) is headed to the new one-game, wild-card playoff, the As get some time off before opening the division series in their first postseason appearance since 2006.
Both teams had to wait to learn their opponents from a pair of night games. Boston at New York, and Baltimore at Tampa Bay.
The As would earn the ATS No. 1 seed if the Yankees lose, and open the division series at the winner of Friday's wild-card play-off featuring the Rangers. If New York wins, Oakland would be the 2 seed and begin at Detroit.
Texas squandered a five-game division lead in the final nine days.
Grant Balfour retired Michael Young on a fly to center for the final out, then raised his arms in the air as the As streamed out of the dugout and began bouncing up and down in the infield.
Oakland pulled off another remarkable performance in a season defined by thrilling walkoffs, rallies and whipped-cream饼 celebrations by a team that was never supposed to be here.
"We knew this is a beast of a team we would have to beat, and to be able to beat them three games in a row and win the division on top of it, really it's a magical type thing," manager Bob Melvin said.
The As trailed Texas by 13 games on June 30.
Now, the Rangers have all the pressure as they try to make another run deep into October.
These are the same Rangers who twice came within one strike of the franchise's first World Series championship oefore losing Games 6 and 7 to the wildcard St. Louis Cardinals. It was Texas' second near miss in as many years after losing the 2010 World Series to the Giants.

"We have to go win that playoff game," Napoli said. "We didn't come here to lose. They got it done and we didn't, plain and simple. It's going to be a tough road."

I ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Evan Longoria hit three home runs and the Tampa Bay Rays beat Baltimore 4-1 Wednesday, ending the Orioles' bid to force a one-game tiebreaker for the AL East title.
The loss on the final day of the regular season left the Orioles as a wild-card team. They'll play Friday at Texas, with the winner advancing to the division series.
Baltimore began the day one game behind the New York Yankees in the division. The Orioles needed a win, plus a loss by the Yankees to Boston, to pull even.
Longoria finished the season with a bang for the second straight year, hitting solo shots off Chris Tillman in the first and fourth innings and adding another solo shot off Jake Arrieta in the sixth.
With a chance to tie the major league record of four homers in a game, Longoria grounded out in the eighth.
Longoria's second career three-
homer game came a year after the
three-time All-Star hit two of them
of the final night of last season,
Ryan Roberts also homered for the Rays in the fourth against Tillman (9-3).
including a 12th-inning game-ending shot that clinched a postseason berth. His bid for the first four-homer game in franchise history ended when he grounded out against Pedro Strop in the eighth.
Jeremy Hellickson (10-11) allowed one hit — Adam Jones' fourth-inning single — in 5 1-3 innings. Jake McGee, Wade Davis, Joel Peralta and Fernando Rodney teamed to hold the Orioles to two hits — JJ. Hardy's double and Matt Wieters' single, both in the ninth inning — the rest of the way.
Jones ruined Tampa Bay's shot at a 16th shutout with a sacrifice fly off Peralta. After Wieters singled, Rodney was summoned to get the final out for his 48th save in 50 opportunities.
Chris Davis, who tied an Orioles record when he homered for the sixth straight game on Tuesday night, went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts.
Longoria is 6 for 12 with three homers lifetime against Tillman, who lasted five innings and allowed
three runs and four hits in his first loss since Kansas City beat him on Aug. 11. The right-hander who had gone 3-0 with a 1.20 ERA over his previous five starts also allowed three homers in that game, matching his career high.
The Rays won 12 of 14 down the stretch, remaining in contention for the second AL wild card until the 160th game and finished with at least 90 wins for the third season.
Hellickson allowed three baserunners, two of them in the fourth inning when Jones singled to right-center after Davis struck out on a wild pitch that allowed the Orioles outfielder to reach first. The 2011 AL Rookie of the Year walked Manny Machado leading off the sixth and replaced by McGee after getting the next batter, Nate McLouth, to pop out.

Despite losing the opening set for only the second time this season, the No. 24 Kansas layhaws moved to 3-0 in conference play for the first time in school history with a 3-1 victory over West Virginia Wednesday night.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
In the first set, the Jayhawks appeared to lack focus in their first trip to Morgantown, WVa., to play the Mountaineers in a Big 12 match. Nine attack errors by Kansas gave West Virginia a 25-15 first set victory. The Jayhawks admitted they came out passive in the first set, and it showed on the court.
"We just kind of sat back in the first set, and we didn't play our typical game," said Caroline Jarmoc, junior redshirt middle blocker. "I think that could attest to not being totally focused."
West Virginia entered the match with 92 service aces on the season, second in the Big 12. The Mountaineers scored three service aces in each of the first two sets, which Kansas coach Ray Bechard said stopped the Jayhawks from establishing an early offensive rhythm.
"They were serving tough, and that limited our options offensively." Bechard said. "You can tell by the nine kills and nine errors (in the first set) that we just weren't in sync offensively."
The second set, however, went just as well for Kansas as the first set went badly for them. Two early kills by Sara McClinton, sophomore outside hitter, helped Kansas open an early 8-4 advantage.
The Jayhawks found its offensive rhythm in the second set, only committing two attack errors. Jarmoc, McClinton and redshirt junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael each contributed three kills during the set, while senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree and junior setter Erin McNorton contributed two. Kansas won the set 25-16.
Carmichael led the Jayhawks with 15 kills in the match, and Jarmoc finished with 14 kills and no attack errors.
"I was trying to get up early," Jarmoc said. "I was just being really conscious of getting up in transition and telling Erin to feed me the ball."
Kansas continued its strong offensive play in the third set,
and the defense joined in. The Jayhawks allowed zero service aces in the third set while scoring two aces of their own, eliminating the only area of the match where the Mountainers could have an advantage against Kansas.
"They drive the ball deep," Jarmoc said. "First contact is the name of the game in volleyball, because you can't do much without
having a good first contact."
After winning the third set 25-14, Kansas used a 6-0 run to secure a 17-8 lead in the fourth set, effectively ending the Mountainers' hopes of forcing a fifth set. The Jayhawks' defense notched four of its 12 blocks during the final set, including the final block of the match by Tolefree and McClinton to give the Jayhawks a 25-17 fourth
Despite hitting a dismal .000 in the first set, Kansas still outhit West Virginia .252 to .107. The victory advanced Kansas to 15-2 overall and 3-0 in the Big 12.
Every season since 1996, Kansas has faced at least one ranked conference foe in the first three matches of conference play. This year, however, Kansas defeated that
ranked foe, which was No. 19 Iowa State.
"It's a really good feeling," said Jaime Mathieu, junior defensive specialist. "Obviously now we have a big target on our back, but we're ready to handle it and I think we can. It's exciting."

MLB
Astros season finally over
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — The Houston Astros ended their National League tenure with a result that's become familiar: a loss.
The Astros set a franchise record for losses in a season, finishing 2012 with a 5-4 defeat to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday as Bryan LaHair homered and hit a game-winning single in the ninth inning.
"That's the goal of a season where we didn't win as much as we wanted to," shortstop Jed Lowrie said. "To finish strong gives everybody a good feeling going home."
Houston went 55-107, one more loss than last year. The Astros split the final 30 games of their sorry season, winning five of their final seven.
In the first series between 100-game losers in the major leagues since 1962, LaHair homered in the second and broke a 4-all tie against Hector Ambriz (1-1).
The Astros became the first team with 106 or more losses in consecutive seasons since the 1964-65 New York Mets.
Houston finished its NT lenure with 3,999 regular-season wins and 4,134 losses with five ties. The Astros are moving to the AL West next season, creating three divisions
of five teams in each league.
"There's going to be some stiff competition, but it'll be good for everybody," Lowrie said. "We'll prepare and see how it goes."
The Astros were 16-25 under interim manager Tony DeFrancesco, who took over after Brad Mills was fired on Aug. 18. Washington third base coach Bo Porter already has been hired as Houston's manager for next season.
"I just went around to everybody and thanked them for everything they did," DeFrancesco said. "I appreciate it. They're ready to go home. It been a long season."
"I was comfortable in the clubhouse talking to the players and dealing with Jeff in the front office," DeFrancesco said, referring to general manager Jeff Luhnow. "Everybody's been very warm to me. I'm really proud to be a part of this."
DeFrancesco, previously Houston's Triple-A manager, hopes to remain on the Astros' major league staff.
The Cubs, who haven't won the World Series since 1908, went 61-101 for their most losses since dropping 103 games in 1966.
to finish the season with a win, it's always fun to do that"
"A lot of hard work was put in this year," LaHair said. "Unfortunately, the record didn't say that, but just
Carlos Marmol (3-3) pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the win.
Justin Maxwell hit a tying, three- run homer for Houston in the eighth off Shawn Camp. It was Maxwell's team-leading 18th home run.
"The way we finished, we knocked the Brewers out of playoff contention, we really played well these last few weeks," Maxwell said. "If we individually work on the things we know we have to get better at, we're going to be as a better team."
Cubs starter Travis Wood allowed one run, three hits and give walks in 6 1-3 innings, giving up Carlos Corporan's RBI single in the first. Wood also chased Astros starter Edgar Gonzalez with a two-run single.
Gonzalez gave up four runs, five hits and four walks in 3 1-3 innings. Houston pitched 28 consecutive scoreless innings before LaHair's homer in the second.
Most Cubs' regulars were given the day off. The exception, Starlin Castro became the first player in franchise history to play shortstop in all 162 games, and the first major leaguer to do it since Jimmy Rollins in 2007. Castro's 195 consecutive games played is the longest active streak in the NL.

After an injury scare with running back Taylor Cox during Kansas' loss to Northern Illinois, Charlie Weis is reporting that all players are healthy and ready to go for Saturday. Cox was held out of the NIU game after getting hit in the first quarter. The Jayhawks well get a second opportunity to see what a healthy and full back-field can produce for them.

But that improvement may begin to vanish this week, Kansas State's offense is averaging 432 yards this season. That doesn't bode well for a Kansas team that allowed 403 yards against Rice.

MOMENTUM
The Jayhawks continually get closer to gaining momentum, but then have to play the fourth quarter. Add Northern Illinois to the list of games Kansas should have won. The Jayhawks' inability to close out games has cost them two wins this season and is hurting any chance of changing their status quo.
32
AT A GLANCE
With Missouri no longer a regular on the Jayhawks' schedule, Kansas State becomes the premier game for Kansas. The Wildcats have toed with their I-70 neighbors recently, scoring 59 points in each of their last two meetings. Charlie Weis has stressed the importance of this game to his players over the last two weeks — including a history lesson on the series — and is looking to make the hype around this game as big as when Kansas played Missouri.
COACHING
Charlie Weis flat out said that Bill Snyder is a better coach than he, so we can rule out any decisive schematic advantage there. What Weis does have, however, is a few new plays that he has worked into the arsenal for this week. Weis said Kansas State has a very specific game plan — he compared them to Navy, Air Force and Army — and that you have to prepare strictly for it. Saturday we'll find out if Weis is ready.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Christian Matthews found his way into the NIU game and showed off his proficiency on the ground. The wide receiver recorded 43 yards on five carries while running the wildcat offense for Kansas. Weis hasn't said he'll use the wildcat formation against Kansas State, but after the success against the Huskies there aren't many reasons not to run it again.

Matthews
SPECIAL TEAMS
The Jayhawks are entering their fifth game of the season and have yet to find any upgrade on kickoffs. Kansas has recorded only one touchback on kickoffs this year, while on the other side of the ball is averaging 17 yards per return. Not only is Kansas allowing good field position, it's struggling to find any.
17
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
QUESTION MARKS
Kansas was able to use the wildcat formation effectively against Northern Illinois, how much of it will Weis use this weekend?
Speaking of quarterbacks, how will the defense slow down Collin Klein?
And if Weis does return to Christian Matthews as the signal caller, will Weis allow him to throw? Matthews completed a three-yard pass against the Huskies, yet the wide receiver was originally recruited as a quarterback.
The senior has already gained 100 yards by using the ground and air this season, and he played a major role in taking down Oklahoma on the road.
Will the Jayhawks be able to contain him?
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
Kansas doesn't get blown out. The last two meetings have been abysmal for the Jayhawks. Charlie Weis said it himself, the Wildcats are succeeding with all of the same resources that Kansas has. Jayhawk fans are beyond tired of the embarrassing losses to their in-state rival.

Kansas State has a high-powered offense that opened up its first two games with over 50 points on scoring and are running strong all season. Charlie Weis said in his press conference earlier this week that quarterback Collin Klein reminds him a little bit of Tim Tebow. Klein is responsible for 10 touchdowns this year with five of them through the air and the other five on the ground. The Wildcats also have a reliable running back in John Hubert, who has rushed for 426 yards and four touchdowns this season. Both Klein and Hubert present a threat to the Jayhawks and their run defense.

DEFENSE
Kansas State brings in a strong 4-3 defensive line full of veterans. Most notably, Kansas must contain Adam Davis, who leads the team in sacks with three and has four tackles for a loss of yards. Justin Tuggle has played well at linebacker later, accumulating 1.5 tackles for a loss and a sack to limit Oklahoma's offensive prowess. The player who Kansas State rallies around is middle linebacker Arthur Brown. Brown is third in the conference in tackles with 36. Coach Charlie Weis said in his press conference that it all starts with him on defense. Kansas State has given up 62 points in four games so far and hope to keep that total close to where it is now after Saturday.

AT A GLANCE
COACHING
Kansas State's offense is sound and solid and made a lot of noise last week during their fourth quarter rally against Oklahoma. Coach Bill Snyder coaches his team in a balanced manner, looking to succeed in all three phases of the game and the Wildcats currently sit as the favorites to win the Big 12.
Bill Snyder is in his fourth season of his second tenure as the coach at Kansas State. He first started with the team in 1989 and coached the team to a 136-68-1 record before retiring in November 2005. Since his return, the Wildcat's record has improved each season and they are the current favorites to win the conference, something they haven't done since 2003.

QUESTION MARKS
FOOTBALL
Anthony Cannelle is a reliable kicker for Kansas State. He's connected on five of his six field goal tries this year. The Wildcats are also pleased with their punter, Ryan Doerr, who managed to pin five of his eight punts inside the 20-yard line. But it's the return game that gives their special teams a good name. Tyler Lockett helped Kansas State get on the scoreboard with a 96-yard kick return for a touchdown against North Texas.
Can the Wildcats utilize their passing game?
Through four games, Kansas State's run game looks very strong. Collin Klein leads the team in rushing touchdowns and John Hubert has ran for more than 400 rushing yards and four touchdowns. The Wildcats are 14th in the nation in rushing, and their passing game has not been bad. They just haven't used it much and will need it later in the conference season. This would be a good time for Klein to be more active in the passing department. His season high of pass attempts came in week one against Missouri State where he threw 28 times.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ...
If the Wildcats dominate the Jayhawks in all three phases of the game. Kansas State has done well in each facet of the game and has made very few errors. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder has done a good job with his team and prepared them to play really well so far in four games.

Whether it's running distance for cross country or the 800-meter race for the track team, the Schneider family has it covered at the University of Kansas.
Kaman, senior, runs cross country while his younger brother, Kelium, junior, runs the 800-meter for the track team, and for a trifecta their youngest sister Kennedy, freshman, runs for the cross country team as well.
Even though all three Schneiders run some sort of race for the Jayhawks, they don't view it as a competition.
"It's hard making the cross-over between us," Kellum said. "Since we don't run all the same event, it's hard to really determine who's doing better."

Kaman was a Class 1A 1600 meter champion as a junior and was academic All-State in 2007 and 2008 before graduating as class valedictorian in 2009. Kellum was a two-time state champion in the 800-meter race in 2009 and 2010. He was also named All-Academic for cross country in 2008 and 2009. And following in his older

they also look at the education and what it can do for them.
"We have a bar we want to reach, and it's not just a bar for ourselves. We still have to apply to graduate schools, too," Kaman said. "There's an external expectation and a internal expectation from the family
and what we have for ourselves. Academically, it's more encouraging than competitive."
Growing up in Tribune, a small town near the Colorado border that is heavily focused on the agricultural career fields, the three had choices but selected Kansas because of the academic side.
"We all liked CU (University of Colorado) but it's out of state, so it's expensive. But the main reason we chose (the University) was because they have a really strong medicine department," Kaman said. "I wanted to get away from agriculture. It's a better academic opportunity than K-State or somewhere else."
And since Kaman led the way to the University, Kellum followed and that "made it easier" for Kennedy to become a Jayhawk.
This trio of siblings has more in common than running. They also enjoy all the same academic subjects. Kaman and Kellum are both majoring in genetics. Kennedy is undecided at the moment but is leaning toward the medicinal field.
"We've always liked the exact same things," Kellum said. "Kaman can come along and make the first decision, and we can learn from him."

Posey moves closer to chance at MVP
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Buster Posey has gone from missing most of last season after a violent collision at home plate to winning the NL batting title.
And the San Francisco Giants are headed to the playoffs as NL West champions.
The 25-year-old catcher went
0 for 2 in a 5-1 loss to the Los
Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday,
finishing with a .336 average to
claim the title. He's the first Giants
player to win it since Barry Bonds
in 2004 and the first Giants catcher
to do so. The previous catcher to win the NL title was Boston's Ernie Lombardi, who hit .330 in 1942.
"I don't think it's something that you ever think about doing." Posey said. "It's such a long season, and from day one, you try to grind out at-bats no matter what the situation is. And if you can go up there and are able to make some adjustments, good things will happen."
In May 2011, Posey broke a bone in his left leg and tore three ankle ligaments on a horrific collision at the plate with the Florida Marlins' Scott Cousins.
"I give a lot of credit to our entire
training staff for all the work they did in the offseason to get me back on the field," he said. "Even though this is an individual accomplishment, there's other people who deserve credit."
Posey credited the 29 starts he made at first base for helping him endure the 162-game season.
"That reprieve you get over there at first base does make a difference because it is a grind," he said. "You're going to take foul balls and just sitting back in the crouch for three hours every night wears on you."
The Giants finished with a 94-68 record, including 46-35 on the road.
"We really didn't know how much we could play him, and he exceeded our expectations," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said about Posey. "To do what he did this year and win a batting title after coming off that devastating injury, it's truly amazing. It shows you what a talent he is and how hard he worked to get back into playing condition."

Phillies' streak ends
IASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Shortly after the Philadelphia Phillies' streak of nine consecutive winning seasons came to a close, they started finding scapegoats.
Philadelphia lost 5-1 to the NL East champion Washington Nationals on Wednesday to finish 81-81 and in third place, following five division titles in a row.
Didn't take long for the fallout to begin: The Phillies fired first base coach Sam Perlozzo, bench coach Pete Mackanin and hitting coach Greg Gross.
And expect more moves.
"We're definitely going to have some changes on our roster." Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "How many or what, I don't really know."
Perlozzo, former manager of the Baltimore Orioles, joined the Philas as their third base coach for the 2009 season. He moved to first base in 2011. Gross was Philadelphia's bench coach in 2001, then hitting coach from 2002-04 and from July 2010 until Wednesday. Mackain arrived in Philadelphia in 2009.
"We dug ourselves in a pretty hole pretty early, and ... it was almost too much to overcome. Next year, we got to come in and start off better," said left-hander Cliff Lee (6-9), who allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings Wednesday and finished with a losing record for the first time since 2007.
"Injuries hurt us pretty bad this year, but the other teams in this division have gotten better. So nothing is going to come easy," Lee added. "But if we're healthy and guys are out there playing the we can, then we can beat anyone."
Wasn't all that long ago — in 2008 and 2009, actually — that the Nationals were losing 100 games a season and finishing with the worst record in the majors. But their victory Wednesday gave them a majors-high 98th victory and
home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
"It's quite an accomplishment," third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. "Obviously winning the division was a goal and now we done that and we have a chance to go do some stuff in the playoffs. This is a great season, a great team, a good group of guys, and we accomplished a lot that we should be proud of."
He continued: "But we have a lot more to accomplish, hopefully."
Fitted for hats with postseason patches before the game, the Nationals will open the playoffs on the road Sunday at the winner of Friday's wild-card game between Atlanta and St. Louis. Game 2 will also be at the wild-card winner's stadium, before the best-of-five series shifts to Washington. A team from the nation's capital hasn't participated in Major League Baseball action beyond the regular season since the Senators lost the 1933 World Series.

San Diego improved by five wins this year and wound up with a 76-86 record. The Padres won only five of their last 15 games.
MILWAUKEE — Chase Headley drove in two runs, finishing the season with an NL-leading 115 RBIs, and the San Diego Padres beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-6 on Wednesday night.

three with a double in the third that made it 6-0. The Brewers went 83-79, a drop of 13 wins after reaching the NL championship series last year.
Since Aug. 20, Milwaukee's 29-13 record was tops in the majors. The Brewers got within $1\frac{1}{2}$ games of St. Louis in the chase for the second wild-card berth, but that was dashed with a 3-6 stretch in late September.
Cameron Maybin hit a two-run homer for San Diego, and five relievers held Milwaukee hitless in the final six innings.
Tommy Lyne (2-0) pitched 1
1-3 innings for the victory and
Luke Gregerson earned his ninth
save. Jim Henderson (1-3) gave
up two runs in the seventh.
Brewers star Ryan Braun went 1 for 4. He led the NL with 41 homers and 108 runs, and also ranked first extra-base hits, slugging percentage and total bases. Braun was second in RBIs with 112 and third in batting at .319.
Braun won the NL MVP last year when he hit .332 with 33 homers, 111 RBIs and 109 runs. He faced a 50-game suspension after testing positive for elevated testosterone, but the players' union appealed and the test result was overturned by baseball arbitrator Shyam Das.
San Diego SS Everth Cabrera finished with 44 stolen bases to become the first Padres player to lead the league in that category. .3B Aramis Ramirez, who joined Milwaukee in the offseason, was taken out before the start of the third inning. He went out for warm-ups and received a nice hand when he was replaced by Jeff Bianchi. Ramirez set a team record for most RBIs by a third baseman (103) when he drove in a run in the first. The Brewers are the first team to lead the NL in home runs and stolen bases since the 1996 Rockies.

Goodrich awarded preseason All-Big 12 team selection
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
Senior guard Angel Goodrich was named to the preseason All-Big 12 team. Her teammate Carolyn Davis, senior forward, received the early-season accolade of honorable mention for the team on Wednesday.
The preseason all-conference teams are voted on by the coaches in the league, and coaches cannot vote for their own players.
Kansas coach Bonnie Hennickson understands what kind of honor it is for Goodrich to be named to the All-Big 12 team with many great athletes in the conference.
"I'm really excited for Angel, and I have so much respect for the coaches in our league, and for them to tip their hat to her is quite an
honor." Henrickson said in a press release. "This league has such elite players, and for Angel to be recognized as one of the top-five players in our conference is a testament to the work she has put in and just how talented she is."
After a run to the Sweet 16 a year ago, Henrickson and the Jayhawks will look to lean on the two senior leaders to get back to the same position again.
"Angel and Carolyn are special players, and we are excited about those two and the potential they have," Henrickson said. "We look for them to have fantastic senior years and lead this program again."
In 2011, Goodrich had an impressive year as point guard of the Jayhawks. She led the nation in assists per game at 7.4 and also scored 14 points per game.
Goodrich was also named on the Nancy Lieberman award finalist list for being the top point guard in the nation. Goodrich broke both the University and Big 12 Conference record as she tallied 250 assists.
Davis' season was cut short last year when she went down with a knee injury. She still led the layhawks in scoring with 16.9 points per game despite only playing in 23 of the 34 contests last season.
Besides being named to the AllBig 12 teams, Goodrich and Davis were among the 25 female basketball players named to the 2012-2013 State Farm Wade Trophy watch list. The Wade Trophy is presented to player of the year in Division 1 women's basketball.

Former NFL star faces new charges related to drug-dealing ring
Portland
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Former Chicago Bears wide receiver Sam Hurd watches teammates practice during NFL training camp in Bourbonnais, III. A cousin of Hurd has agreed to plead guilty in a federal drugspiracy case involving the former NFL receiver.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Former NFL wide receiver Sam Hurd, whose young career was brought to a halt by accusations that he tried to set up a drug-dealing ring in the middle of a season, is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday on new charges.
Arrested last December, Hurd is due in Dallas federal court Wednesday afternoon to plead on a new indictment with charges related to his time out on bail earlier this year. Hurd is accused of trying to have a cousin arrange a deal to buy 5 kilograms of cocaine and 200 pounds of marijuana.
His cousin, Jesse Tyrone Chavil,
and his other alleged co-conspirator,
Toby Lujan, have signed guilty
The 27-year-old Hurd is being held in federal prison near Dallas.
Hurd's arrest during last year's NFL season shocked his teammates on the Chicago Bears. Authorities have accused him of trying to set up large-scale purchases of cocaine and marjjuana — and accepting 1 kilogram, or 2.2 pounds, of cocaine from an undercover officer at a Chicago-area steakhouse. Hurd allegedly told the officer he wanted to eventually buy 5 to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marjjuana per week to distribute in the Chicago area.
plea agreements.
Agents were waiting outside the steakhouse to arrest him.
Hurd pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. The Bears eventually cut him.
The San Antonio native played at Northern Illinois University and spent five seasons with the Dallas
Cowboys before signing with the Bears in 2011. The deal was reportedly worth up to $5.15 million, including a $1.35 million signing bonus and base pay this season of $685,000.
Hurd was living in Texas earlier this summer when he fell back into trouble. Authorities say he failed two drug tests and also tried to arrange another deal for cocaine and marjujana through Chavful. Chavful, in documents signed Monday as part of his plea agreement, said Hurd contacted him at his T-shirt shop in San Antonio and asked to "get him cocaine and marjujana."
Chavful's attorney, Laura Harper, denied that Chavful was pleading guilty in a bid of leniency at sentencing.

IOWA STATE 3-1 (0-1) AT #15
TCU 4-0 (1-0)
TCU got its first dose of Big 12 play earlier this year. Now they're prepped to host a conference match against Iowa State, a team that lost its first game of the season at home against Texas Tech last weekend.
Iowa State Quarterback Steele Jantz threw for a season-high three interceptions and a season low of just 10 completed passes for 73 yards. Going up against Gary Patterson's TCU defense, Jantz will have trouble moving the football against the Horned Frogs. TCU is ranked second in the nation for fewest points given up, as its allowed 7.3 points per game this season.
But the Horned Frogs also have a challenge ahead of them. Iowa State's defense has given up only 14 points per game while impressing many teams in the process. If TCU quarterback Casey Pachall can't make plays on the Cyclones' defense, this game could be closer than projected.
In the end, Patterson's defense will try to use the home field to its advantage to pull out a win.
TCU wins, 20-12

8 WEST VIRGINIA 4-0 (1-0) AT
11 TEXAS 4-0 (1-0)
West Virginia's Geno Smith played the game of his life last week in an insane shootout against Baylor after throwing for a school-record eight touchdown passes and 656 passing yards. It is no secret to anyone that West Virginia will want to go pass-heavy with Smith against Texas.
The Longhorns defense has to play mistake-free, which will be difficult against Smith, who has yet to throw an interception this season. Despite being undefeated, Texas has allowed more than 30 points in its last two games against Ole Miss and Oklahoma State.
Texas quarterback David Ash earned the confidence of his teammates, and his offense wants to try and take advantage of West Virginia's holes on defense after it gave up 63 points last week. Ash has thrown only one interception this season, but the Longhorns' offense is ranked ninth in the nation in scoring. The Mountaineers' defense has to prepare to not allow another offense burn up the scoreboard.
Smith may throw his first interception of the season against Texas this week, but with wide receivers Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin on his side, West Virginia will survive on the road with another conference win.
TEU
West Virginia wins, 38-31
17 OKLAHOMA 2-1 (0-1) AT
TEXAS TECH 4-0 (1-0)
The Red Raiders enjoyed their first conference win of the season, propelling them to a 4-0 start. But they are getting started for a grueling five-game stretch.
Texas Tech is playing a team ranked in the top 20 in each of the next five weeks, starting with the Oklahoma Sooners at home.
The Sooners have a chip on their shoulder from two weeks ago when they suffered their first loss of the season at home to Kansas State. Quarterback Landry Jones has been quiet this year. This is his chance to make some noise and for Oklahoma to forget about its loss to the Wildcats.
The biggest question surrounds Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege. Can he continue performing at a high level against more respected teams in the Big 12? Wide receivers Darrin Moore and Eric Ward each have caught four touchdowns on the year, which helped the Red Raiders score over 40 points in three of their four contests.
Oklahoma Coach Bob Stoops has identified Texas Tech's weak point to his players, setting them up for a win on the road.

New Zealand trip a no-go
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand canceled a visa for Mike Tyson on Wednesday because of his rape conviction, saying it reversed its earlier approval because a charity that would have benefited from his appearance says it wants nothing to do with the former heavyweight boxing champion.
Tyson had said he had been looking forward to meeting New Zealand's indigenous Maori people, the inspiration for his notorious facial tattoo. But now his whole Downward speaking tour, scheduled for next month, is threatening to fall apart: Australian immigration authorities said they've yet to decide whether to let him in.
Tyson's 1992 rape conviction would normally prevent his entry in New Zealand and could be grounds for denial in Australia as well. New Zealand's denial came days after Prime Minister John Key spoke out against the visit.
event in Auckland, the "Day of the Champions," which is being promoted by Sydney agency Markson Sparks. On Wednesday the agency continued to promote tickets for appearances in New Zealand and five major Australian cities.
New Zealand's Associate Immigration Minister Kate Wilkinson said she initially granted entry because a children's health charity would get some of the proceeds from Tyson's speech. She said in a statement her decision was "a finely balanced call" but that the charity that would have benefited, the Life Education Trust, withdrew its support Tuesday.
The charity's chief executive, John O'Connell, however, said the charity long ago decided not to accept any money from the event due to its concerns over Tyson's character, O'Connell said a volunteer trustee mistakenly sent a letter to immigration authorities supporting Tyson's plans.
Promoter Max Markson said he's continuing to sell tickets — at between 69 and 300 Australian dollars ($71 and $308) — and will give refunds if Tyson cannot appear. He said he had been "hoping it might be a smoother run", but remained confident Australia would grant Tyson a visa and that New Zealand would reverse its decision when he found another suitable charity.
— Edited by Stéphane Roque
"He'll only be in the country for 20 hours, I don't think he's a danger to anybody, and thousands of people want to see him," Markson said.
Would-be visitors to Australia normally must pass a character test. Those who have a "substantial criminal record" — including people who, like Tyson, have been sentenced to more than a year in prison — fail the test. But the department can use its discretion to grant such people visas.

Tyson was sentenced to six years in prison for the 1991 rape of an 18-year-old woman in an Indianapolis hotel room. He served three years before being released on parole.
Cabrera wins Triple Crown
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Miguel Cabrera became the first player in 45 years to achieve the Triple Crown in the AL Central champion Detroit Tigers' 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.
Cabrera went 0 for 2 with a strikeout, then left in the fourth inning of the regular-season finale. He received a standing ovation from the opposing fans.
He finished with an American League-leading .330 average, 44 homers and 139 RBIs, becoming just the 15th player to achieve the milestone and the first since Boston's Carl Yastrzemski in 1967.
Max Scherzer pitched four innings for Detroit to test his sore right shoulder ahead of the playoffs, which the Tigers will open Saturday at home against Oakland. The bullpen took over from there, with Luis Marte (1-0) picking up the win and Luke Putkonen his first career save.
Austin Jackson drove in the only run off Royals starter Luis Mendoza (8-10).
The outcome of the game was secondary to Cabrera's historic accomplishment.
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig offered his congratulations, calling the Triple Crown "a remarkable achievement that places him amongst an elite few in all of baseball history."
"Miguel has long been one of the most accomplished hitters in the game," Selig said, "and this recognition is one that he will be able to cherish for the rest of his career."
The crowd at Kauffman Stadium gave Cabrera a standing ovation before he fled out in the first inning. He struck out in the fourth inning but remained in the game, allowing Tigers manager Jim Leyland to remove him with two outs to another standing ovation.
"I would say without question he's enjoyed it. How could you not enjoy what he's done if you're a baseball player?" Leyland said before the game, "I would also add to that I doubt very much, knowing him, that he necessarily enjoins all the extra attention.
Cabrera high-fived his teammates as he descended into the Detroit dugout, and then sheepishly walked to the top step and waved his helmet, almost as if he'd been playing at home.
"It's kind of out of his realm
in personality, to be honest with you."
Cabrera's milestone wasn't official until the Yankees pinch hit for Curtis Granderson in their game against the Boston Red Sox. Granderson had homered twice to reach 43 for the year, tied with the Rangers' Josh Hamilton and one shy of Cabera.
Cabrera finished four points better than the Angles' Mike Trout, his biggest competition for MVP, to win his second straight batting title. Cabrera was the runaway leader with 139 RBIs.
"When he's over the plate, he can do anything. He's the best hitter in the game." Trout said. "I think his approach, the way he battles with two strikes — you leave one pitch over the plate that at-bat and he's going to hit it. He had an unbelievable year."
The Hall of Fame outfielder said in a statement, "I am glad that (Cabrera) accomplished this while leading his team to the American League Central title."
The year Yastrzemski won the triple Crown, he was part of Boston's "Impossible Dream Team," which won the AL title and reached the World Series for the first time in more than two decades.

The School of Engineering aims to increase the number of women in the field
NIKKI WENTLING

The School of Engineering has a plan for growth, and it is not leaving women out of the equation.
Female students, who make up about 20 percent of the school, are "underrepresented," as stated by Florence Boldridge, director of Diversity and Women's Engineering Programs.
"What I found many years ago when going into this line of work was that young ladies thought, 'Well, I'm just not good enough, I'm not smart enough," Boldridge said. "But females bring a totally different perspective to the field of engineering."
To increase the female population in the school, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) holds a weekend camp for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors in the fall and spring semesters. About 30 to 40 girls attend each camp, some attendees coming from out-of-state. The girls take a tour of campus and the school, explore the different areas of study within the school and work on small projects.
The next camp is scheduled for Nov. 17 to 18, and Boldridge said she is expecting more attendees
Although the school is succeeding in improving enrollment, Boldridge said that the number of in-
"The population of women engineers in the school is really small. This is a way to connect with other women who are bucking tradition and going into a field that is typically male-centric," Liggett said.
"There's a huge need for engineering graduates, and we're trying to fill that need," Sorem said. "Enrollment will continue to grow because the large freshman class will matriculate through."
Liggett is now the president of SWE; she interacts with middle
than ever before, as about 50 girls have already signed up. Boldridge credits this to the school's recruitment officials sending out more invitations — about 4,000 — in an overall effort to attract more students to the University.
When looking at coming back to the University, Liggett researched the Society of Women Engineers. She learned that the group helps instill interest for engineering in high school and middle school, and she joined on that premise.
"I figured I couldn't do that for the rest of my life." Liggett said. "Growing up, my dad worked at a utility company, and he was influential in me becoming an electrical engineer. It's something I know. The math and science come easy to me."
Associate Dean Robert Sorem said recruitment has been a major focus for the School of Engineering for the past five or six years, and the K-12 programs are just a part of this.
In 2011, Gov. Sam Brownback signed the University Engineering Initiative Act, which set aside funding for three Kansas schools, including the University, with the ultimate goal of increasing the number of engineering graduates.
school and high school girls at camps throughout the year. Last year, she was a resident assistant for a weekend camp. She took the attendees around the school and led a group participating in a computer science-based activity. At the school's welcome back barquee this semester, Liggett was able to see some of those girls again.
This year, the School of Engineering enrolled about 530 freshmen, a 22 percent increase.
Edited by Sarah McCabe
If the school maintains this number, Sorem said, that would be enough to meet the goal.
Although women continue to be underrepresented in the school, and there has not been much evidence of short-term results, Boldridge acknowledged that there has been growth in the long-term. Last week, Boldridge began her 29th year as director of Diversity and Women's Engineering Programs. When she began working for the University, the school of engineering was about 10 percent female, she said. Since then, that percentage has doubled.
coming female students remained stagnant.
Reba Liggett, a senior from Mankato, Kan., said she is only one of three female students in the senior class in the department of electrical engineering.
"The trend lately has been that yes, ladies are smart enough, they are good enough. They can be equal to those men." Boldridge said. "It's improved."
Liggett received an English degree from the University in 2008. After graduating, she worked for a newspaper and lived with her parents.

KU Athletics gives writer stern warning
LIKE RANKER
Iranker@kansan.com
The Kansas football program had a special message this week for sportswriters from the student paper. Watch your step.
Members of KU Athletics singled out a University Daily Kansan sports writer Tuesday to warn him of lingering illwill among members of the football program.
They disagree about the intent of the conversation.
Katy Lonergan, director of football communications, said she was looking out for the writer and reminded him that he had the same access of any reporter. Sports writer Blake Schuster, a junior from Chicago, said the conversation was meant to interfere with his work.
He said Lonergan told him it would be in his best interest not to ask questions.
Before the weekly football press conference, Lonergan invited Schuster to a meeting in her office with Mike Cummings, assistant director of communications for KU Athletics.
During the meeting, Lonergan warned Schuster about possible negative reactions to last Thursday's Kansan cover art and story.
She told him these negative attitudes could be directed toward him.
Schuster said he was surprised KU Athletics was still concerned about the cover art.
"I thought it was dead until this morning," he said.
Lonergan and Schuster could not say where the hostilities were expected to come from, but coach Weis was the only member of the football program to take questions during the press conference.
The possible change in attitude stems from cover art depicting a large Wildcat football player carrying a goal post with
a small Jayhawk clinging to it. On Thursday Weis tweeted about his displeasure with the art. Several national outlets covered the tweet, including USA Today.
"The way I perceived it was there would be a negative effect for me if asked any questions," Schuster said.
To his knowledge, reporters from other news outlets were not warned of potential hostilities.
He said he felt the meeting was meant to prevent something from happening in front of other press. Schuster said he interacted with football players and members of KU Athletics when he covered the game against Kansas State and felt no negativity.
Lonergan said she did not tell Schuster to refrain from asking questions.
"I just simply advised him that if he did ask questions, he should be prepared for any kind of tone in his answer," she said.
She said the goal of the meeting was to make Schuster not feel uncomfortable during the press conference.
She said she warned Schuster to "be prepared for a possible change in tone."
Lonergan compared her conversation with Schuster to situations in which she had questioned other sports reporters about the correctness of their quotes or their lack of sources in stories. She said she would have done the same with any reporter.
The Jayhawks are 1-4. The next game is at home Saturday against Oklahoma State.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little discusses curriculum changes, crime, new hires and her experience with exams as an undergraduate Thursday in her office. It was the second of an ongoing discussion between the Chancellor and The University Daily Kansan.
Chancellor weighs in on campus safety
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
CRIME
Two weeks ago, the University called attention to its annual crime report in an all-student email. The report is required by the federal Clery Act and must detail specific on-campus crime.
For Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, the numbers are important not only from the student aspect but as a campus resident.
The numbers, collected for the 2011 calendar year on the Lawrence campus, showed 660 crimes reported, down 4.6 percent from the 692 crimes reported in 2010.
"It's important to me because I do live on campus." Gray-Little
"It is important that all of us take reasonable precautions in what we do and where we go, but we need to be able to have access," Gray-Little said.
NEW HIRES
The report does more than list the numbers detailing campus and community safety resources. It also provides personal safety tips, such as walking in well-lit areas, not leaving spare keys hidden outside the home and using a cell phone judiciously so it's not a distraction.
said. "Because I come and go around campus, I see students out, especially in the evening, and they have a right to be there."
CORE CURRICULUM CHANGE
"If we look at the faculty and students number in quality, there's nothing that's more important than that to the University," Gray-Little said.
Gray-Little said the hires would not happen immediately but over time. She said that during the past few years, faculty numbers were decreasing. The investment in new hires comes from Kansas' legislature money and is also the result of internal efficiency, she said.
Last week, the University announced its plan to fill 64 new
faculty positions, returning the faculty size to about the number it was before hiring slowed in the last ten years.
As the University irons out its new KU Core curriculum changes
Gray-Little said the purpose of the change is to offer students more flexibility and give students with heavy course loads the opportunity to graduate in four years. She said it also reflects a general trend of universities across the country no longer requiring the course.
The curriculum changes will affect other general education courses. However, Gray-Little said, the University is still making those decisions.
for fall 2013, Western Civilization will no longer be a mandatory University-wide requirement but instead will be up to individual schools and departments.

POLITICS
Candidates focus on nine states
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. — So much for Mitt Romney's plans to compete for Democratic-trending Michigan or Pennsylvania. And what about President Barack Obama's early hopes of fighting it out for Republican-tilting Arizona, Georgia or Texas? Forget them.
The presidential battleground map is as compact as it's been in decades, with just nine states seeing the bulk of candidate visits, campaign ads and get-out-the-vote efforts in the hunt for the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory. That means just a fraction of Americans will determine the outcome of the race for the White House.
"I's difficult if not impossible to pull new states into that kind of competition," said Tad Devine, a democrat who long has helped his party's presidential nominees craft state-by-state strategies to reach the magic number.
A month before Election Day, that means both candidates are concentrating their precious time and money in the handful of states that still seem to be competitive: Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Virginia, North
Carolina, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin.
Obama succeeded in expanding the map in 2008 by winning the traditionally Republican states of Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia. But it took a Democratic tidal wave to do so, and he was the exception in a nation that's grown increasingly polarized, with demographic shifts heralding Democratic victories in the Northeast and on the West
Coast and Republican dominance in the West and South.
"Politics in the country has become homogenized regionally and culturally," said Steve Schmidt, a veteran of Republican presidential campaigns. So, he added: "You're left with the only states that have the population and demographic mix where it's in question who is going to be on top at the finish line."
TV ad money the best
measure of whether a campaign is competing in a state — shows that 93 percent of the $746 million spent so far, or $697 million — has poured into the nine battleground states. Less than a quarter of the nation's voters live in those states.
The trend is clear. Over the past 20 years, markedly fewer states have been competitive in presidential elections. In 1992, there were 33 decided by fewer than 10 percentage points. In 2008, just 15.
Despite seemingly having the money to compete on a bigger playing field, neither Romney nor Obama is going after some states that long had been perennial swing-voting battlegrounds.
Romney hasn't given any love to New Mexico, which now tilt Democratic because of an influx of Hispanics. And the GOP didn't even consider competing in other traditionally Democratic states where the GOP had spent money in past presidential elections, including Minnesota, Oregon, Washington and Maine.
Obama opted against competing in Indiana, a traditionally Republican state that's grown more conservative after Obama's surprise victory there four years ago.

According to a University release, Capitol Federal's donation is the largest in history. KU Endowment will partner with other private donors to fund the proposed $60 million project.
The new School of Business building will be located near the Robinson Health and Physical Education Center. According to the news release, Summerfield Hall can no longer ac-

Female Afghani rapper gains attention
ASIA
Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — "Listen to my story! Listen to my pain and suffering!" Afghanistan's first female rapper Sosan Firooz pleads into her microphone.
With her first rap song, the outspoken 23-year-old singer is making history in her homeland where society frowns on women who take the stage. She is already shunned by some of her relatives.
She sings about repression of women, her hopes for a peaceful Afghanistan and the misery she says she experienced as a small child living in neighboring Iran. Her family fled there during the Afghan civil war of the 1990s and the hardline Taliban regime's rise to power in 1996. During her five-year stay there, she said the Iranians looked with disdain on Afghan refugees.
But for Firooz, the best way to express herself is through rap, a musical genre that is just starting to generate a following in Afghanistan.
"I remember while we were in Iran, we were called 'dirty Afghan's' and told to go to the back of the line at the bakery," Firooz, who also spent time as a refugee in Pakistan and returned
to Afghanistan with her family seven years ago, said to The Associated Press in an interview.
Most of all, Firooz uses her rap to express the pain and sorrow of her only two decades of life.
"When war started in our country, there were bullets, artillery, rockets. All our trees were burned down. The war forced us to leave our country," she raps. "We are hopeful for the future in our country. And we request that our neighboring countries leave us alone."

Russian singer's father found
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW, Russia — To find her father's World War II grave, Natalya Pugachyova had to become a celebrity.
She is one of the Buranovskie Babushki, a group of singing grandmothers who ended up second at this year's Eurovision Song Contest with their cute tune sung in the Udmurt language, a distant relative of Finnish. As the oldest and smallest member of the group, the 76-year-old Pugachyova became a star of the pan-European contest, whose millions of devoted fans love its kitsch fun.
Her newfound fame helped her find the grave of her father, who disappeared while fighting the Nazis in 1942.
Nearly 27 million Soviet soldiers and civilians died in World War II, and tens of thousands are still listed as missing. War enthusiasts roam the forests and lands of western Russia in search of the remains of soldiers and their aluminum dog tags that identify them.
At a press conference she mentioned her father, Yakov Begeshev, who disappeared when she was 6 years old. The last letter they received from him came during a battle in the Voronezh region south of Moscow, which he described as being so fierce that he was unlikely to survive.
Nina Geryuheva of the Bailiffs Service in the musical group's native Russian region of Udmurtia said its volunteers set out to find Pugachyova's father. After a lot of
"To say she was surprised is to say the least," Geryusheva said by telephone.
phone calls and official requests, they were able to identify the mass grave where he was buried.
Russian state television showed Pugachyova's visit over the weekend to the village of Malaya Vereika in the Voronezh region, where she saw her father's name among those engraved on memorial walls at the mass grave.
"Even I sobbed," Pugachyova said. "So many years, so many winters, I didn't know."
Pugachyova brought a handful of soil from her mother's grave to mix with that of her father's, and took a handful back to do the same at her mother's grave. That way, her parents could be together.

Van der Sloot claims fatherhood
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LIMA, Peru — A newspaper reported Monday that Joran van der Sloot, a Dutch man who is serving a 28-year-sentence for murdering a young Peruvian woman, says he is going to be a father.
His lawyer said the inmate does have a conjugal visitor, but he could not confirm she is pregnant.
The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf said van der Sloot, a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of American teenager Natalie Holloway, told the paper in a telephone call Saturday that "a test has proved" the pregnancy.
Van der Sloot's attorney, Maximo Altez, told The Associated Press that a woman named Leidy Figueroa UCeda "is registered as a conjugal visitor of Jonan. She is registered in the visitors books of the Piedras Gordas prison in Lima."
He denied, however, that he had told the newspaper he could confirm the pregnancy.
"I told them I didn't know anything in that respect," he said.
News media in Peru last year identified Figueroa as van der Sloot's girlfriend, and said they had conceived a son together, but she denied it.
De Telegraaf said van der Sloot told it that the woman uses birth control pills but apparently forgot to take one. He said she would not have an abortion due to her Roman Catholic faith. He said he didn't have DNA proof the child is his, but he believes it to be.

That awkward moment when you have 7,000 followers on Tumblr and no friends in real life.
We're not even dating and this whole distance thing is stressing me out.
I just stroke an unbreakable travel mug with my bare hands! I am an Avenger!
Sitting at the bus stop at 7:35 a.m. during fall break makes me sad. I don't have class, but I have 9 hours of work ahead of me.

Make an educated decision for Nov.6
The political system in the United States is considered a democracy. Political officials are determined by the votes of citizens. Therefore, it should come to no surprise that participating in the political system by voting is important.
EDITORIAL
Voting is one of the few ways citizens can voice their opinion on political topics and influence the direction of the country. It's a citizen's duty to help elect a president reflective of the population's beliefs.
This year major issues are being debated. Most of them
will affect students in some way. Some of the topics include the debt, the economy, taxes and social policies. Instead of voting based off of a gut feeling, the more attractive wife, or the best campaign slogan, do a little research a make an educated decision.
Students hear this sentiment all of the time in class: don't do it the night before, do your research ahead of time. Funny thing; it's true. Each campaign has put out an abundance of problems with the opposing candidate. The media has featured campus updates in
nearly every news broadcast, newspaper and radio show. If that's not how students get their news, social media websites also offer an abundance of ways to find out what's going on in the political campaigns.
One easy way to find out the opinions and attitudes of the candidates is to watch them debate. If you missed the first debate, there are still a few remaining opportunities to compare the candidates side-by-side. The vice-presidential candidates will debate foreign and domestic policy Thursday night at 8. The presidential candidates
will debate in a town meeting setting on Oct. 16 and in a formal setting discussing foreign policy on Oct. 22. All broadcasts are on ABC.
Another way to educate yourself is to follow the election campaigns everyday by reading the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.
The point is, before citizens make their decision and cast their vote on Nov. 6, they should know more than whom Big Bird would vote for. They should compare their beliefs to the beliefs of the candidates.
Take the 26 days before the election, and get educated. Citizens should find out what the candidates will do about issues that matter to each citizen and to the country as a whole.
Students, citizens, taxpayers, it's time to take a stand for a candidate that believes what you do. Find out who that candidate is and make an informed decision on Nov. 6.

American Dream is wishful thinking
Since I first read "The Great Gatsby" in my junior year of high school, I've subscribed to Fitzgerald's condemnation of the excesses of the upper class and worshipped his championing of the little guy in pursuit of the dream. I mourned for Jay Gatsby and his tireless efforts to woo his beloved Daisy, only to fall short in an unjust twist of fate. But because he failed, I believed he enabled us all to "run faster, stretch out our arms farther". And I had every reason to believe that with this hard work, I could accomplish anything, because my parents are proud products of the American Dream.

After her father's death, my mom left Mexico at the age of 2 to start a new life in the United States of America. But life wasn't as easy as advertised. The whole family worked several jobs and received welfare and food stamps, but after buying the weekly groceries and paying rent on their rat-infested shack, there wasn't enough money left for cancer treatments and medical visits. So my poor grandmother died a poor woman's death and my mom became an orphan at the age of 15. But she was determined; mom finished high school on her own and even paid her way through Tulane University, where she met my dad.
Now I don't know how poor my dad was at the time, but my mom was living in a garage, and she still picked up the dinner tab when they first started dating. Dad did have parents, it's just that his father had a tendency to walk out on him and wasn't terribly fond of paying child support. But Dad had lofty dreams, and with his tireless work ethic and the aid of academic scholarships, he earned his master's degree and now serves as the president of his very own, highly profitable air cargo company.

We live in a nice, big suburban house with a picket fence and a basketball hoop in the driveway. And it'll have a "For Sale" sign out front in a matter of months. The cushy economic floor dropped out beneath us and we went into free fall until we were violently awakened from our American Dream.
LETTER GUIDELINES
HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I think the dream felt real while we were in it. The truth is, my parents had some help. Immigration laws were far more lenient in the 1960s. There's no way my mom would be naturalized under our current policies. It's doubtful that my dad would have even gone to college if he hadn't had such high ACT scores; and I know that neither parent could have afforded student loans at present rates. We just stopped being a nation that cared about one another. We have a presidential candidate who claims that 47 percent of the population won't help themselves, and he isn't concerned about them. And his running mate believes that only 70 percent of Americans want the American Dream, while the other 30 percent are satisfied with welfare. My family may be facing some trying times, but I think back to another Gatsby quote: "Remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
I reread "The Great Gatsby" this past week only to find that the story had changed; Gatsby's dream was all a lie. Daisy was never as good as he had built her up to be, just like how we idealized the notion that anyone could get a job, own a house and start a family. But what happens when you somehow claw your way out of poverty and it still isn't enough? What happens when my mom has to get another job as a substitute teacher so she can go back and get her master's? What happens when we have to move into a smaller house? What happens when I earn a full scholarship, and yet we still can't afford proper health insurance?

ELECTION
Romney trumps Obama in presidential debate
Traditionally, elections experience a certain amount of convergence as the first Tuesday in November begins to loom large. As the leaves begin to turn, the polls begin to tighten. Whether it's due to the fact that people aren't pressed with an imminent decision until September and October come around; or they haven't had the time to see the presidential candidates face off in debates, it's unclear. However, it's most likely a combination of the two; and this edition of the presidential election is no different. And in round one, the presidential debate on Oct. 3, Mitt Romney did everything he could to boost his campaign.
There are few presidential debates that last in the minds of American political historians. The Reagan-Carter debates during the 1980 election are an example of a debate that left a lasting impression on U.S. history. Reagan's, "there you go again, Mr. President," is a debate line that may last for as long as people care about the American presidential race. The Oct. 3 debate may be remembered as one of the most one-sided debates in U.S. political history; and one of the worst moderated in history. As 67 million people tuned in, Romney steamrolled a visibly tired and uninterested President Obama. There have been some ridiculously hilarious excuses for Obama's inept performance; according to Politico, former Vice President Gore said it was due to the altitude of Denver. However, that isn't the real reason why a CNN poll found that 67 percent of those polled felt the former
M. E. S. R. A. R. A.
By Billy McCroybmccroy@kansan.com
governor of Massachusetts won or why a Gallup poll revealed 72 percent of those that they polled felt similarly.
level playing field, whether it was because the debate was hardly moderated or any other excuse, Obama crumbled under the pressure of a real debate about his administration's ineptitude.
It is because Mitt Romney was able to show how presidential he is. Throughout the entire debate, whenever Romney spoke, he was looking at Obama; and Obama could do little else but look down at his podium, as though he were scolded by a parent. Mitt Romney was finally able to show himself to the public, who have been told by various outlets what to expect from the Republican nominee since last year. And most importantly, it is because in the arena of ideas, liberal ideals are no match for true conservatism.
There are plenty of questions surrounding Obama's performance. Why didn't he attack Romney about 47 percent? The reason why Obama didn't bring up the 47 percent video is because he has his own videos from the past. His campaign people must know that Romney is prepared to strike back with videos; showing the future President Romney talk about his interest in redistributing American wealth or speaking to the then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev about how the U.S. would be more willing to listen to Putin after Obama's reelection. It isn't a story that will win Obama reelection, only the media think it is.
When conservatism isn't surrounded by radical beliefs and criticisms about being sexist, homophobic or racist, it is unbeatable. Romney was logical and used clear figures to calmly show how the differences between Obama and himself. And what is most upsetting is that people see these qualities as "slick" and a reason to find Romney untrustworthy. How is that reasonable? Romney's attacks on Obama were factual, supported and delivered in a calm, clear voice. It is high time that someone challenged Obama on a
The debate has certainly boosted Romney's campaign, as of Columbus Day he's leading Obama in several reputable polls. People on both sides are asking themselves if there is enough time for Romney to turn the tide; however, that's assuming that previous numbers were correct. While the President Obama puts himself on the back for creating 114,000 jobs in September, which magically lowered the unemployment rate to 7.8 percent, it is clear that this election is much closer than it looked just two to three weeks ago.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
No need for fear at night
I would like to respond to a FFA published on Oct. 2. "How do I tell girls they shouldn't be walking by themselves in the dark late at night without sounding like a psycho?" they wanted to know.
Well,ude,you don't sound like a psycho.What you're saying is what we have always been told.Don't walk alone at night. If you must,have your keys in your hands.Dont get distracted by your phone or stop to look for something in your purse.Be fully aware of your surroundings.Avoid alleys and unlit streets.I know.My mother,sisters,my friends
we all know.
But really, that's the problem. When they are taught that they should not walk alone at night because they may be harassed, you imply that is her responsibility to avoid that assault. Doesn't it make more sense to tell men that they should not harass women who walk alone at night? Instead of instilling in women a fear of darkness, why don't we instill in men an understanding that seeing a woman on her own after sunset does not grant you permission to assault her?
Candice Crafton is a junior from Wichita.
Believe it or not, adult women lead lives that often require
them to be outside of their home at night. Alone. We have a right to do this without fear of attack. We should not have to create schedules based on the inclinations of predators, and we should not have cursews based on the rotation of the Earth's axis.
So, if you see me or my friends walking alone at night, please don't tell us that we shouldn't. Instead, remind men that they should not assault.

The news of Park Chan-wook's American debut "Stoker" has filled his fans with an understandable mixture of anticipation and dread.
How will the South Korean director of provocative fare like "Oldboy" adjust to the rigors of the studio system, an industry seldom kind to auteurs and their pesky personal visions? Can "Stoker," a kinky uncle psychodrama starring Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode, possibly match the dark, subversive energy of his early work, or will Chan-wook become the latest foreign "transplant" to mortgage his soul to Tinsel Town?

It's no secret that Hollywood fills its directors' chairs by culling talent from other countries, a practice dating back to émigré filmmakers like Fritz Lang and Billy Wilder, who escaped Europe before World War II and met with varying degrees of success stateside. Wilder caught fire early, going on to produce classics like "Sunset Boulevard" and "Some Like It Hot." Lang, the meticulous master behind the sci-fi landmark "Metropolis," worked just as offen-
Younger transplant filmmakers are struggling to keep their movies personal, even when they're handed the reins to a long-running franchise. After wowing international audiences with his Rio crime saga "Elite Squad", Jose Padilha was chosen by Columbia to help their "RoboCop" remake. Now, only a few weeks into production, Padilha is already clashing with studio heads, reportedly over script rewrites and the tone of the movie, which is set for release next August.
although his later films suffered from budgetary woes and recurrent studio medding.
More recently, talented foreign filmmakers have come to Hollywood only to lose themselves in the service of greed-driven mediocrity. Perhaps the sorrie... example is German director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. His 2006 film, "The Lives of Others," remains a fascinating chronicle of Stasi oppression in East Berlin, as well as one of the few surveillance thrillers worthy of comparisons to Coppola's "The Conversation." Since coming to Hollywood, Donnersmarck's only film has been "The Tourist," an execrable Venice crime caper that confused Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie's vacation photos with the need for a coherent plot and engaging, relatable characters.
make "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", a mature, ruminative adaptation of John le Carre's labyrinthine spy novel.
Other transplant directors have found ways to access star power and expanded budgets without drowning in the mainstream. Sweden's Tomas Alfredson injected fresh blood into the vampire mythos with "Let the Right One In" and was subsequently showered with directing offers from Hollywood. Instead he chose to relocate to the U.K. and
In the trailer for "Stoker," which appears to be a grim reimagining of Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt," Kidman's character quietly informs her daughter (Mia Wasikowska), "I can't wait to watch life tear you apart." It seems Chan-wook's diabolical instincts are even sharper in English. I wouldn't be surprised if this particular transplant sets down roots as a vital new voice in American cinema.

Tech N9ne returns home
Aaron Dontez Yates, better known to fans as Tech N9ne, is no stranger to Kansas. Born in Kansas City, Mo., Yates grew into an aspiring hip-hop rapper, finally making it big in the early 2000s. Today he will be in Lawrence to play at the Granada.
A new EP titled "Boiling Point" will drop on Oct. 30 — just weeks after the show, meaning the rapper is expected to reveal some new songs. According to his site, "Tech N9ne bars the dark side of his soul yet again — showing you what makes him truly inside out. Tech N9ne just keeps creating — feeding the fans more and more music every chance he gets." Boiling Point is sure to be a fan favorite...
In late 1999, Yates, alongside Travis O'Guen, founded the record label Strange Music. Yates continues to release all his work through this label. Spin Magazine connected the label's name to the personality Yates brings to his music.
"No one responsible for founding a label called Strange Music is going to hew too close to normal, but Tech NNe strays further than might be expected," wrote Spin Magazine in a review of his album "All 6's and 7s." While he is best known for the speed of his raps and dynamic rhymes, Spin also claims Yates' style to be tense, pinch, fast and fidgety.

"I got into theater at around age 11, and I haven't stopped much since." Espy said.
Espy has been working professionally in the Kansas City area since 2006 and has worked as a director, producer, writer, designer and actor.
When it comes to theater, Alex Espy knows his way around the business.
"Beginning directing was just the way my career path has taken me," he said.
Espy's latest venture is currently directing the upcoming University Theatre production of "The 39 Steps," a play based on the novel of the same name that was turned into a film by Alfred Hitchcock. The play will open on Oct. 12.
When asked about his favorite show, Espy said it was hard to pick just one.
Difficulty Level ★★★
Espy also talked about a production he worked on at the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Mo; it included a performance of an original version of "Alice in Wonderland" in the museum's sculpture, which involved the audience traveling with the cast as the story went on.
The show is open to all ages and begins at 8 p.m. The doors opens at 7 p.m., and tickets can be bought at the door for $35.

According to a blog post from Yates, "2012 wouldn't be complete without a Tech NOne Visit to the Jahawkw Nation!"
Indeed, Espy's experience in the theater business has been considered extremely beneficial by Delbert Unruh, Espy's stage designer for the upcoming production of "The 39 Steps."
"Each show is a unique experience, so it's hard" he said. "I do really like working on highly physical shows like 'The 39 Steps' and creating original work like the shows I've done for the Nelson-Atkins Museum."
Sarah Edwards, a freshman from Overland Park, said that while she doesn't listen to his music, she would still consider going to the show because Tech N9ne comes from this area.
The typical consensus around campus is that this is one show students don't want to miss.

"He makes it such a fun atmosphere," the show's stage manager Hilary Surface, a senior from Kansas City, Kan. "It's not restrictive, and he lets you try what you want, and he wants everyone's creativity in the show. It's a team effort"
Espy also directed last winter's production of "Noah's Art" for the University Theatre department, which makes "The 39 Steps" his second University production.
Unruh is impressed with Espy's connection to the actors.
Espy's positive attitude and passion toward his work has also been beneficial for his productions.
"I most appreciate the work ethic of the students, and the faculty and staff are very supportive," he said.
"He can communicate with them on a level I couldn't if I were directing the show," Unruh said.
However, Espy's creativity is not confined to just the theater. In his spare time, he also takes up other creative media such as painting and sculptural work.
"He's such a professional and treats the show like it's professional and not just a University show," Surface said. "He treats the cast not just like students but also like professionals."
"It's also fun for me to see just now small a scale I can work with," he said. "Especially putting entire scenes inside small spaces such as matchboxes."

"All of the changes in the core curriculum is one: to update it, and two: to give students more flexibility" Gray-Little said. "By reducing the number of core curriculum requirements, there is more opportunity for students with second majors or minors."
MIDTERM MEMORIES
As students prepare for midterms and papers, Gray-Little recalled how difficult it could be to stay focused in her undergraduate years at Marywood University in Scranton, Pa.
She said they did not have midterms, but their fall exams were always the most difficult because they were scheduled after winter break.
Gray-Little said she did not have one particular fall break activity to discuss, but she remembered that she would leave to see shows in New York or to visit friends.
"So that meant you had the opportunity during your Christmas holiday to spend time preparing for your exams," Gray-Little said while laughing.
"It was just to leave, just to get away from there for awhile," she said with a smile.

Hundreds of Lawrence residents dressed as zombies and scared bystanders along Massachusetts Street Thursday for the sixth annual Lawrence Zombie Walk. The walk benefitted the Lawrence Humane Society and Arc of Douglas County, which provides services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. The walk began in 2006 with 50 participants and has grown to 850 participants in 2011.

Jayhawks add loss, tie to record
RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com
Both teams started the match a bit slow as they adjusted to the autumn chill for the first time all year. The Jayhawks eventually picked up the tempo and used the wind to their advantage for the rest of the first half. The Jayhawks dominated the possession for the majority of the half and kept it on West Virginia's side of the pitch.

Kansas got shut out for the third time this season, dropping its record to 8-4-1, while coming to 2-2 in conference play.
"We definitely possessed the ball and were patient with it. We keep it on the ground and swung it around, but we just didn't get the goal," junior defender Shannon Renner said.
The soccer team was not able to overcome conference leader West Virginia on Friday, losing 1-0.
"We didn't finish our chances, plain and simple," coach Mark Francis said. "You're not going to beat teams like West Virginia if you don't finish one of six or seven really good chances."
The Jayhawks had plenty of chances against West Virginia, outshooting the Mountaineers 23-14. Yet as the last few minutes ticked away in the first half, West Virginia finally scored with forward Kate Schwindel in the 43rd minute.
Kansas attacked the box with shots, many of them being on target, but the Jayhawks couldn't get the ball past West Virginia goalkeeper Sara Keane. She finished the game with seven saves.
Kansas continued to create many opportunities yet were unlucky as shot after shot soared right above the crossbar, slightly off-target or directly into the keeper's hands. Francis remarked on how the team could learn from this loss.
"Today, especially in the second half, it comes down to taking care of the small details," Francis said.
Despite not getting the victory, Kansas still proved it's a team that has the opportunity and drive to really compete in the Big 12 conference this season.
"I think this team has always shown that, once we've had a tough game like today that didn't go our way, we bounce back every time," Francis said.
After overcoming the loss to West Virginia on Friday, the Kansas soccer team forced a draw on Sunday with a 1-1 tie against 12th-ranked Wake Forest.
The lone goal for the jayhawks came when junior Caroline Kastor scored her ninth goal of the season in the 73rd minute to tie the game. Her ninth goal has also tied her for the conference lead. Senior midfielder Amy Grow passed to Kastor, which allowed her to score the goal.
The game eventually went into overtime, and the Jayhawks tried to find opportunities to win the game.
Both teams attempted late
scores, but could not convert a goal. The Jayhawks now move to 1-0-2 in overtime matches in the 2012 season.
Wake Forest scored its only goal of the game when junior forward Katie Stengel was awarded a penalty kick after colliding with Kansas sophomore goalkeeper, Kaitlyn Stroud. Stengel ended up finishing off the penalty kick.
Kansas began with many opportunities to attack but was called offside three different times. The Jayhawks finished with five offseid penalties, while Wake Forest finished with three penalties. In the second half, Stroud was replaced by Kat Liebetrau, senior goalkeeper. Liebetrau ended the game with three saves in the second half.
The Jayhawks were also outshot for the third time this season, tallying 12 shots compared to Wake Forest's 16 attempts.

Kansas junior cross country runner Natalie Becker may have been the only Jayhawk woman to enter the Haskell invitational on Saturday, but that didn't stop her as she led most of the 5k race in her first race of the season after recovering from an off-season injury.
"The race really went as planned today." Becker said in a press release. "I went out at a good pace, and I felt relaxed at the end. It really just felt good to be back out."

The win was the first individual victory of Becker's career.
The men's cross country team saw two of its three entrants place in the top 13. Sophomore Conner Day led the way with a time of 25:53.81 in the 8k race for a 10th finish. Freshman Alex Galli finished close behind with a time of 26:19.00, which put him in 13th place.

"The Wisconsin meet will be the first time we will really separate the teams into our top seven." Whittlesey said in a press release. "It will be a very competitive field, but if we can put ourselves in a position to finish high as a team, we'll be in good shape moving forward in the year."

Reds don't measure up to Giants' stature
CINCINNATI — Homer Bailey turned in a pitching performance worthy of a series clincher. Too bad for the Cincinnati starter that the Reds' bats and defense didn't follow suit.
Bailey flirted with his second no-hitter in his last three starts, but the San Francisco Giants got just enough good pitching of their own and capitalized on a key mistake to beat the Reds 2-1 in 10 innings Tuesday night, cutting their NL division series deficits to 2-1.
Third baseman Scott Rolen's two-out error in the 10th helped the Giants avoid a sweep.
"Festball, location," Bailey said when asked what was working. "We executed everything."
Rolen, an eight-time Gold Glove winner, couldn't come up with Joaquin Arias' short-hop grounder, bobbled it and threw late to first. The loss extended the Reds' 17-year streak of home postseason frustration.
The Giants managed only three hits against Bailey and three Reds relievers, but got two of them in the 10th to pull it out. San Francisco won despite striking out a season-high 16 times.
"The bottom line is we still don't have a playoff win in this ballpark," said Votto, who also played in the Reds' 2-0 loss to Philadelphia at Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park in Game 3 of the 2010 NLDS.
The Reds haven't won a home playoff game since 1995, the last time they reached the NL championship series.
San Francisco's one-hit wonders finally got it going against Jonathan Broxton, who gave up leoadoff singles by Buster Posey — the NL batting champion — and Hunter Pence. With two outs, Hanigan couldn't come up with a pitch, letting the runners advance. Arias' tough-chance grounder then put Rolen in a touch spot — charging the ball for a quick short-hop swipe. He couldn't come up with it cleanly, and Arias beat the throw.
The Reds got only one more hit the rest of the way.

BLAKE SCHUSTER
Before the interceptions from senior quarterback Dayne Crist, before freshman Tre' Parmalee's kick return blunders and Kansas dug itself into a 40-point deficit, the Jayhawks appeared as good as its counterpart.
MANHATTAN, KAN. — For three possessions, the Kansas football team looked like it had it figured out for Saturday's game.
bschuster@kansan.com
After holding the Wildcats to a three-and-out on the first drive of the game, Crist and the offense came out and confidently moved the ball — thanks to sophomore running back Tony Pierson's bubble screen routes.
The Wildcats answered with an 83-yard touchdown drive on its next possession, tying the game at seven. While the offense tried to apply more pressure, two incomplitions and a failed run left nothing for Kansas to do but punt.
Yes, early in the Kansas State Wildcats 56-16 victory over Kansas, the Jayhawks found a game plan that worked and unconventional plays that succeeded.
"We were going into the game to be methodical," coach Charlie Weis said. "We weren't going in there to try to throw the ball up and down the field on them. The game plan was to nickel and dime them and grind it out."
Ron Donerty came out to pun
as the jayhawks faced fourth-and-8
Pierson had four receptions for 46 yards on the first drive capped off by a 19-yard touchdown catch. That run gave Kansas an early 7-0 lead. However, Pierson ended up leaving the game with an undisclosed injury.
— with only the Kansas sideline knowing *Wesn* wasn't punting.
Doherty awkwardly received a high snap, but instead of setting himself for the boot, he tucked the ball and ran 13 yards for a first down.
And for most of the first half, many wondered what kind of Kansas team arrived in Manhattan.
The Jayhawks' bench exploded with excitement, the fake punt had worked.
7
Crist went back under center and continued, his work with Pierson. The duo raked up another 27 yards before the Wildcats halted the drive at the 23-yard line with time running out in the first quarter.
If Weis had called a timeout, hed have a chance of a field goal with the wind in his favor, but field goals don't
give teams a decisive advantage.
The advantage comes when a coach can turn a field goal into a touchdown — which is exactly what Weis did.
On the first play of the second quarter — as backup quarterback Blake Jablonski set up to hold for a field goal attempt by Doherty — Jablonski rolled out of the pocket and hit defensive end Toben Opurum for a 12-yard gain.
Sims commanded the lajhwaks' fourth drive. Weis gave him the ball 10 times with only two consecutive pass attempts to break his action.
It was a throwback to last season when Sims was heavily relied on to keep a weak Kansas offense afloat. Sims averaged 5.2 yards per carry on the drive that began to stall in the red zone.
"Coach told me whenever I get the ball, don't look for the big play just keep moving the chains," Sims said.
Facing fourth-and-6, Weis came on Dohertyforhisjobaskicker, buthe missed a 24-vard field goal wide left.
After Sims trucked his way to the red zone, the Jayhawks came away with nothing.
When Sims was running the ball and Pierson was catching it, there was little the Wildcats could do to slow the Jayhawks down. Kansas moved the chains, worked the clock and tricked Kansas State enough to put points up.
"When you're playing a team of this caliber, you've got to be willing to take some risks," Weis said. "We did two in a drive, and it gives you a touchdown. You're up 14-7, and now you're hanging around with the team believing you have a chance."
The fake field goal set up a one-yard touchdown by junior James Sims, giving Kansas a 14-7 lead.
After starting on its 25-yard line, Sims ran the Jayhawks all the way to the Wildcats' goal line.
But Weis wouldn't look to Pierson to bail him out of the 21-14 hole; he called on Sims instead.
It took all of four plays for the Wildcats to even the score, and another three plays for Kansas State to take the lead — on consecutive drives.
"KU did a nice job of moving the ball against us and kept us off the field," Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. "We did a miserable job to start the ballgame."
Of course, that was before the interceptions, the blunders and the 40-point deficit.

The Kansas men's golf team finished 10th with a team score of 886, 38 strokes behind firstplace team Georgia, at the Brickyard Collegiate Championship in Macon, Ga.
Gilbert's scramble on 12 tested his mental game. Bermel said after hitting the ball in the hazard Gilbert wanted to go for the home run but decided to lay it up to about 100 yards out. The veteran moved led to the hole out.
Senior Chris Gilbert continued his solid play, finishing tied for 11th with scores of 72, 72 and 70, placing him six shots off the lead.
The Brickyard presented the first chance for Kansas to play on Bermuda grass greens, something that takes experience to master.
Gilbert started his final round with 10 consecutive pairs before bogeying the par three 11th finding himself in trouble off the tee at the par five 12th.
"He has a pretty fundamentally sound golf swing." Bermel said. "As a senior, he's pretty experienced. He plays with a lot of confidence. He's not very emotional out there, and he just continues to give himself opportunities."
"Obviously coming out with the 69 was really good." Bermel said. "He had a couple of bad breaks caused by a couple of bad swings. You do that, and you'll quickly get over par on that golf course. He just struggled in the last round making three doubles on the last nine holes, which you just can't do."
Sophomore transfer Stan Gautier finished tied for 42nd with scores of 69, 74 and 79. Gautier struggled late with the difficult course over the later rounds.
The hole played third toughest on the course over the weekend. After dropping from the hazard, Gilbert hit an eight iron to 100 yards out. He then healed a wedge shot from there to finish the round with three birdies over his last seven holes.
"With the exception of that drive, he was playing really well," coach Jamie Bermel said. "Quite honestly, his bad swing on 12 tee was directly related to the bad swing on 11. He got a little upset with himself and tried to hit one hard and mis-hit it."

Dylan McClure finished tied for 56th with a total score of 226 over three rounds.
Jackson Foth finished tied for 63rd with a 228 and Alex Gutesha finished tied for 69th with a 231.

"We shot even par in the first round and 11 over in the next two rounds," Bermel said. "You just can't do that. We have to figure out a way to have that focus, that consistency every round. It's just each guy saving a shot or two, and they're out there you just have to figure out a way to save them."

Jayhawks slam 10th straight home victory
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
The Baylor Bears recorded 10 more blocks than Kansas Saturday night, but it was one of the Jayhawks' three blocks that sealed their 10th-straight home victory this year.
The Jayhawks led the fifth set 11-8 when redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc and junior setter Erin McNorton teamed for Kansas' first block since the first set. The block energized the Jayhawks, who closed out the final set 15-11. The win moved the team to 16-2 on the season.
Although five-set matches are exciting for fans, this was the third straight home match in which the Jayhawks needed five sets to win after beginning the match with a 2-0 lead.
"To be honest, it's more frustrating," junior libero Brianne Riley said. "We know that we're a better team than how we played tonight, but a win's a win. We'll take it; we just know we have more things to work on, which is exciting for us because we can play a lot better than how we did tonight."
"I was like, 'Get your feet here, and press on this ball,'" Jarmoc said. "That's all I was thinking, and then I went up and I sealed really well, and Erin set up a good block."
After winning the first set 25-17, Kansas was cruising in the second set, leading 21-13. But a Baylor kill began an 11-2 run aided by six Kansas errors. Suddenly facing set point, freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery responded with a kill, the first time in 11 points Kansas scored on an offensive attack and not from a Baylor error.
The Jayhawks won the next two points to take a 2-10 lead, but Baylor seized the momentum from its late surge despite losing the second set. The Bears opened the third set on an 8-3 run, and Kansas could not put together a run to get back into the set.
"That's hard to wrap your arms around when they should be the deflated group because we came back and won a set that they looked like they might win," coach Ray Bechard said.
The Bears hit .583 in the third set, recording 14 kills and no errors. In the first two sets, the Jayhawks back line did a good job digging balls, helping the Jayhawks offense get into system. In the next two sets, however, the Bears adjusted to the Jayhawks' defense and began hitting balls into space and around the Kansas block.
"Their middles are unorthodox in the angles they hit," Bechard said. "But if they hit a ball at you, then you need to dig and convert."
Baylor outblocked Kansas 13-3 for the match. Bechard said the Bears don't normally block as well as they did, but that they are also a
team that doesn't get its own shots blocked often.
Although Kansas struggled to hit through the Baylor block the entire night, five Jayhawks finished with double-digit kills for the first time this season. Sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton led the team with 15 kills, although she did have 10 errors.
"We had too many hitting errors, but we did have good balance," Bechard said. "Double-digit kills is critical for us. And Tolefree hadn't been in double digits for a while, so that was great."
After Baylor won the fourth set 25-23, serving was the key in the decisive fifth set. A Jarmoc ace and two service errors by Baylor gave Kansas the early lead in the set. The Bears refused to let the Jayhawks pull away until Jarmoc and McNorton's block gave Kansas the momentum they needed to win the set.
"We had some better serving going on at the end," Riley said. "It got them out of rotation, which is what we did to them in the first and second set, so that helped us out a lot and pulled it through."

CRIME
Sandusky to serve 60 years
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BELLEFONTE, Pa. — In what sounded at times like a locker room pep talk, Jerry Sandusky rambled in his red prison suit about being the underdog in the fourth quarter, about forgiveness, about dogs and about the movie "Seabiscuit."
With his accusers seated behind him in the courtroom, he denied committing "disgusting acts" against children and instead painted himself as the victim.
And then, after he had said his piece, a judge sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in prison Tuesday, all but ensuring the 68-year-old Sandusky will spend the rest of his life behind bars for the child sexual abuse scandal that brought disgrace to Penn State and triggered the downfall of his former boss, football coach Joe Paterno.
He leaves behind a trail of human and legal wreckage that could take years for the university to clear away.
"The tragedy of this crime is that it's a story of betrayal. The most obvious aspect is your betrayal of 10 children." Judge John Cleland said after a hearing in which three of the men Sandusky was convicted of molesting as boys confronted him face to face and told of the lasting pain he had inflicted.
The judge said he expects
Sandusky to die in prison.
In a disjointed 15-minute address before he learned his sentence, Sandusky said: "In my heart I did not do these alleged disgusting acts"

bursts from fellow inmates, reading inspirational books and trying to find a purpose in his fate.
"Hopefully we can get better as a result of our hardship and suffering, that somehow, some way, something good will come out of this" Sandusky said.
He also spoke of instances in which he helped children and did good works in the community, adding: "I've forgiven, I've been forgiven, I've comforted others, I've been comforted. I've been kissed by dogs, I've been bit by dogs, I've conformed, I've also been different. I've been me. I've been loved, I've been hated."
Sandusky was convicted in June
of 45 counts, found guilty of raping or fondling boys he had met through the acclaimed youth charity he founded, The Second Mile.
He plans to appeal, arguing among other things that his defense was not given enough time to prepare for trial after his arrest last November.
Among the victims who spoke in court Tuesday was a young man who said he was 11 when Sandusky groped him in a shower in 1998.
He said Sandusky is in denial and should "stop coming up with excuses."
"I've been left with deep painful wounds that you caused and had been buried in the garden of my heart for many years," he said.
Another man said he was 13 in 2001 when Sandusky lured him into a Penn State sauna and then a shower and forced him to touch the ex-coach.
"I am troubled with flashbacks of his naked body, something that will never be erased from my memory" he said.
After the sentencing, prosecutor Joe McGettigan praised the victims' courage and dismissed Sandusky's comments as "a masterpiece of banal self-delusion, completely untethered from reality and without any acceptance of responsibility."

ERIC WINSTON CALLS OUT CHIEFS FANS
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
Mounting pressure on the performance of Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel came to a climax this past Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. Cassel went down with a reported concussion, and Brady Quinn stepped in to play quarterback for the remainder of the game.
The controversy rises as Chiefs right tackle Eric Winston very publicly disapproved of the Chiffs fans' reactions as Cassel laid on the field Sunday.
National media latched onto the story, and Winston's interview went viral, calling the fan's actions "sickening and disgusting."
I agree with the general theme: Don't cheer for an injury, EVER. The people who did so have something wrong with them.
But Eric Winston, having played just five
games in a Chiefs uniform, generalized the Kansas City fans as a whole and embarrassed them nationally. People around the country need understand that what happened Sunday was not what Kansas City is about.
Author Michael Buckley describes this best: "You can't judge the many by the actions of the few."
Fans pay a lot to be a part of the Sunday experience and deserve to make the most of their entertainment. Just because you have the right to do something doesn't make it right.
Some of the Chiefs fans need to clean it
up. They don't just represent themselves; they represent Kansas City, too.
IS THE NEW MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WILD CARD A GOOD IDEA?
The MLB's new wild card rule adds an intriguing element to the postseason. Instead of one, now two wild card teams are selected to play a one-game playoff before the traditional playoff series.
This year in the American League, the Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles matched up in this game, as they would have under the old format. Both teams finished the season with a 93-69 record, which would have pitched them in a one-game playoff in seasons past. I have no problem here. Good excitement, good television, and the Orioles prevailed, a good story in itself.
The trouble comes from the National League, where the Atlanta Braves matched up in what turned out to be controversial game with the St. Louis Cardinals. The Braves entered the game with a 94-68 record, six games ahead of the Cardinals at 88-74. The Cardinals won the one-game playoff with a botched infield-fly rule, squandering a promising Atlanta rally. The
KU
Braves feel like they were shorted the victory and a chance at the divisional round.
But is there any reason they should have played the game in the first place?
The Braves were six games ahead of the Cardinals during the regular season. This nullified the importance of their total body of work. Because of the new wild card rules and a little bad luck from poor umpiring, the Braves are no longer a part of the baseball postseason.

TCU quarterback to seek drug treatment
FORT WORTH, Texas — Texas Cristian University quarterback Casey Pachall has left the school and will seek care at a drug and alcohol treatment facility, coach Gary Patterson
said. Patterson said Pachall has an opportunity to enroll in the spring semester and rejoin the team.
"We want to make sure we can make this turn into a positive," Patterson said Tuesday. "Casey's parents, Casey and I, we all
agreed that there was only one way to change the path he was on — to step away from it"
Last week, Patterson suspended Pachall from competition after the junior's arrest early Thursday morning on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Pachall did not play in the Frogs' 37-23 loss to Iowa State last week.
Pachall started every game in 2011, setting TCU records for yards and completions. He was off to a good start in 2012 as the Frogs won their first
four games.
In July, a police report revealed that Pachall admitted to police that he had failed a Feb. 1 team-issued drug test. Later in February, four players, including Pachall's roommate Tanner Brock, were kicked off the team
after being arrested for selling drugs in a campus-wide drug bust. Pachall told police that he had tried cocaine and ecstasy in the past.

COMMENTARY Kansan's coverage of football is justified
Jayhawks take 10th straight home win Page 10
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
There's no doubt that this law was meant for more important issues than football. And yes, there are more important things than football. Basketball too, believe it or not.
It's the amendment of freedoms. The freedoms of religion, speech, assembly and petition. And of course, the freedom of the press.
But it does need to be said that the Kansan isn't here to rally up student support for the football team.
However, Kansas football coach Charlie Weis called out the UDK on Twitter because of an illustration about the football team that ran last Thursday.
It appeared Kansas football players were upset, and their coach defended them. That is fine. No problem there.
Inside Stauffer-Flint Hall, the University's journalism building, hangs a sign that has the First Amendment of the United States constitution printed on it.
Jayhawks endure
Sunflower smackdown
Page 8
The Kansan is here to serve the 30,000 students that trot up and down Jayhawk Boulevard every day. It is here to help them understand and learn what is going on in Lawrence and on their campus. It is here to help them be informed.
A journalist's job is to be objective in every sense of the word. A journalist cannot cheer. A journalist cannot wear team colors. A journalist cannot show any bias whatsoever.
Emails came in asking for writers, designers and editors to be more supportive. Or to be fired.
Last Thursday, the Kansan delivered nothing but the truth, in the image of a cartoon, and some people got far to upset about it.
That is a joke.
The path that Kansas Athletics has taken to handle this situation is not right.
Kansas is a public university, and it has a damn good journalism school that is here teaching its students to be objective members of the Fourth Estate of the United States of America, to hold its leaders accountable, and to be a free and independent press. It's a democracy thing, and it's too bad a public American university would try to persuade student reporters into compromising those values.
For some reason, Kansas Athletics has suggested to the Kansan that a reporter should shy away from asking questions to Weis at his press conferences. This came about because of some negative coverage the Kansan gave the team. The negative coverage is something every area paper is doing. It is their obligation to do so. Just like it's the Kansan's.
Students at this university deserve better than a pom-pom squad of a newspaper. They deserve to get the truth.

KICKER WANTED
KU
Weis hopes to improve kicking game by creating competition for the position
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousougian@kansan.com
Kansas coach Charlie Weis made a notable switch on the depth chart on Tuesday. Ron Doherty, previously the starting kicker, now must compete for the starting spot against Austin Barone.
Weis' decision to open up the spot to a competition came after Doherty missed a 24-yard chipshot field goal in Saturday's loss to Kansas State.
"It's the fourth drive of the game, and you've scored twice
already," Weis said. "Now you're down there again and a chance to get more points on the board. Those have to be automatic, and I think you have to be willing to give people additional looks. We'll be practicing the field goal every day this week."
Through the first five games, Doherty has made just five of his 10 field goal attempts. His longest-made field goal came from 37 yards out against Rice.
Despite Doherty's inconsistency with his kicks, Weis said that he is not completely responsible for all
"Sometimes you can blame everything on the kicker, and Ron certainly would accept his share of the blame," Weis said. "But even on that one, you saw the snap wasn't perfect. There's a lot of things that factor on."
Kansas struggled with its field goal unit early on this season after long snapper Justin Carnes was suspended for the first three games of the season for a violation of team rules. But even with Carmes back, Weis felt it was time to open up the job and see if improvement
can be made with a new kicker.
Barone, a freshman from Pittsburg, Kan., has yet to attempt a field goal and could get his first opportunity to do so on Saturday against Oklahoma State if he has a good week of practice.
FOOTBALL NOTES:
- Running back Tony Pierson suffered an elbow injury Saturday against Kansas State but the X-rays were negative. Pierson practiced some on Sunday and is expected to play against Oklahoma State.
- Wide receiver Andrew Turzilli
leads the team in receiving yards with 212 even though he did not catch a pass in the first two games of the season. Weis said there is a lot of upside to him.
- Weis said he hasn't been happy with the second-half performance and will address that with players and coaches, hoping for better second-half turnouts. Kansas has been outscored 84-43 in the second half of games this season, and has only scored two total points in the second half of conference games.

Women's team strives for more conference wins
Coach Henrickson wants a Jayhawk Big 12 title
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
Coming off a Sweet 16 appearance, the KU women's basketball team has one goal: to improve everyday.
Senior point guard Angel Goodrich, who was named pre-season first team All-Big 12, looks at the high expectations for the No. 25 ranked Jayhawks as just another reason for them to work hard.
"Our expectation is to pick up where we left off last year," Goodrich said. "Just get better everyday and not take steps back. You should be hungry to get back there again."
But for head coach Bonnie Henrickson, building on the success from the Sweet 16 starts in the Big 12, particularly in Allen Fieldhouse.
"We have to win more games in our league. We played with more confidence on the road with a do-or-die attitude trying to get in. We have to transfer that into league play," Henrickson said. "And I thought there were too many nights in Allen Fieldhouse we were flat."
Henrickson said she has addressed the team's performance inside Allen Fieldhouse. She also said that the team needs to play
with more energy and consistencey no matter where it is.
"I don't really know why it's happened," Goodrich said. "Home court is supposed to be your home court, and no one is supposed to beat you."
One of the big issues for the Jayhawks, whether they are playing on the road or at home, will be getting senior forward Carolyn Davis back from a torn ACL injury and playing at a high-caliben level.
Davis, who received a pre-season All-Big 12 honorable mention, said she feels completely healthy. Henrickson agrees and said there is "not a
Davis
Bobbie Garrison
doubt in my mind" she's 100 per cent healthy.
"I haven't seen anything that makes me think she can't be what she was," Henrickson said of last season's leader scorer.
One key to the Jayhawks' shot at a Big 12 title and ultimately a NCAA tournament appearance will rest on the team's improvements on defense.
"We have to guard better. That just eats me up." Hendricks said. "We have to rebound better.
Offensively we've been good, but defensively we have to keep people in front of us."
Goodrich said that on-ball defending, especially one-on-one defending, will be the main concern for the Jayhawks as they try to improve on what they did from last season.
Goodrich led the nation in assists per game at 7.4, which allowed the Jayhawks to cut down their playbook while also allowing Goodrich and her teammates to run more often.
Henrickson said that she and men's basketball coach Bill Self talk about recruiting players who make plays. That gives the players and the coaches more flexibility.
"Being able to be in transition, that's what Angel allows us to do," Henrickson said. "Angel has cut my playbook in half, which I love."
Last season, the Jayhawks averaged 68.8 points per game during the regular season. Davis said fans should watch for both the offense and defense to improve this year.
Edited by Brian Sisk
"They should just watch for our offensive game to burst, and a better defensive unit as a team will be a lot better than last year," Davis said.

Jayhawk Jedi on campus

May the force be with you...on Mondays and Tuesdays at 7 p.m. on Templin's front lawn.
HANNAH BARLING
Jayhawk jedi is a newly formed student group consisting of eight members. They practice mastering their light saber fighting techniques, choreograph fight scenes and plan to put on shows in the future.
Russell Stricklen and Collin Turner, current presidents of the group, bought light sabers last year to use for fun. They would practice out front of Templin, gaining interest from passers-by. Brittany Jacobs decided to join the two this year and sought an advisor to officially create a student group. Fencing coach Brian McDow agreed to be the Jayhawk Jedi's sponsor being a huge Star Wars fan himself.
While Star Wars is the running backdrop of the group, the jayhawk jedi focus more on light saber fighting itself.
TIMES ARE A CHANGIN
"Star Wars is what gets you in," said Brittany Jacobs, vice president of the group. "As soon as we say we're playing with light sabers, the little kid in you perks up."
Members purchased their light sabers on ultrasabers.com, and they average about $80. The cheapest saber available is about $70, and the most expensive is about $300. There are nearly three dozen designs and eight colors to choose from.
Anyone is welcome to join Jay hawk Jedi, light saber or not, without a membership fee. Co-president Collin Turner said that the club hopes to have student funding so it can be to raise money for extra light sabers.
"I've always felt welcome here," Jacobs said. "It's something physical without being a sport."
Brittany Jacobs, a sophomore from Andover, was more of a watcher last year but decided to be more active.
Jayhawk Jedi is anticipating a Halloween show that will consist of small fights on Wescoe Beach leading up to a larger showdown on Massachusetts Street that night.
"Who doesn't want to play with light sabers?" Miller said. "It's about learning great choreography techniques and having fun."
David Miller met co-president Turner at a Massachusetts Street performance club. He now choreographs most of the group's fights and is a certified advanced actor combatant with the Society of American Fight Directors, an international stunt group. He said fight choreography and stage combat is a great creative outlet.

Freshman Eva Chavez from Wichita, right, plays a video game with her roommate, freshman Becca Kurtz from Overland Park, while her friend Charles Mohr studies in Templin Hall Tuesday. Mohr has a busy schedule, which doesn't allow him as much free time for activities as Chavez has.
When Charles Mohr, a freshman from Wichita, first came to the University this fall, he felt like he always had to tell someone where he was going. But he now realizes since he no longer lives with his parents, he can make his own decisions about how he spends his time.
Time management is part of the adjustment first-year college students face when trying to balance academics, campus involvement and possibly a part-time job.
"It's harder in that there are more things to do outside of class, and easier in that you don't have to go to as much class," Mohr said.
On top of his 16 hours of electrical engineering classes, Mohr also works 10 hours at Mrs. E's during the week.
"Having a job has made me a better time manager," Mohr said. Still, Mohr hasn't found any time for on-campus clubs that interest him, many of which relate to his studies.
"I want to be involved in clubs, but my work and class schedule interfere with club meeting times." Mohr said. "I work Thursday nights and have class Wednesday nights, which is when most clubs seem to meet."
Eva Chavez, a freshman from Wichita, has also had limited campus involvement beyond her academics.
"I signed up for a few clubs at orientation and get the emails," Chavez said. "A lot of them cost money to join, which doesn't really interest me as a poor college student."
Chavez is one of 2,361 freshmen who signed up 13,019 times for clubs on campus during orientation, which means on average each freshman was interested in joining more than five student groups.
While still deciding which clubs pique her interest, Chavez finds herself with plenty of free time since her entry-level classes have been manageable.
"I didn't want to get a job for a semester because I wanted to adjust to college life and focus on my studies," Chavez said. "I worked the past two summers and will work over Chrisbmas break so that I don't have to work during the school year."
Helping first-year students
navigate their transition into the University is the goal of the Office of First-Year Experience.
on this important foundation by creating smaller learning environments to challenge and support first-year students."
"The new demands of collegelevel course work combined with a more flexible schedule results in many students struggling with time management," said Sarah Crawford-Parker, Assistant Vice Provest and director of The Office First-Year Experience. "The office encompasses KU's previous Office of New Student Orientation and builds
As part of Bold Aspirations, the office facilitates orientation, discussions on the Common Book, first-year seminar classes and learning communities for first-year students.
Chavez said these programs have helped her get to know the University better and get involved with fellow first-year stu
dents during her first semester.
"I would rather build time management slowly, rather than jumping into a super busy schedule," Chavez said. "I look forward to the next few years and getting involved."

Dallas Junior Chris McEanaye is one of the six houseboys for the Pi Beta Phi sorority. McEanaye and the other houseboys do many jobs in the house ranging from taking the trash out to cooking food for all of the house.
The perks of being a sorority houseboy
I BRYENN BIERWIRTH
bbierwirth@kansan.com
McEanney has already prepared meal place-settings for 80 hungry women. Earlier, he took out the trash, set out silverware and swept the floor. Later, he'll clean the dining room. But it's not all work.
Chris McEnaney looks at the clock as it strikes 6 p.m. It's time for work, and so he proceeds to put on an apron and starts meticulously scrubbing the pots and pans.
"The food is great, and it's free," McEnaney said. "You meet and get to hang-out with a ton of nice girls in the house, which allows you to broaden your circle of friends. It's just a terrific way to meet people without going out of your way."
McEanney, a junior from Dallas, is a houseboy for Pi Beta Phi sorority house. He, along with five other houseboys, helps set up for lunch and dinner.
Though the work can be overwhelming and exhausting at times, working in a sorority has its allure.
Pi Beta Phi, Chi Omega and Kappa Delta are three of several campus sororities that employ houseboys.
While part-time jobs are becoming more integrated with students' academic career, most students are stressing over how to balance the two and also find time for their social life. But for students like McEnaney and Warner, flexibility and a social life come with the job.
Warner, a senior from Phoenix, is a houseboy for Chi Omega sorority house. He said being a man in the midst of more than 70 sorority women is a "beautiful feeling," and his policy is to "always be respectful, and only good things can come out of that."
McAnaney and Warner spend between six and 10 hours a week catering to their Greek counterparts. While their usual tasks are

Pussy Riot member walks free
Feminist punk group Pussy Riot members, from left, Yekaterina Samutsevich, Maria Alekhina, and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova sit in a glass cage at a court room in Moscow.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — One jailed member of the punk band Pussy Riot unexpectedly walked free from a Moscow courtroom, but the other two now head toward a harsh punishment for their irreverent protest against President Vladimir Putin: a penal colony.
The split ruling by the appeals court Wednesday added further controversy to a case that has been seized upon in the West as a symbol of Putin's intensifying crackdown on dissent.
All three women were convicted in August of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and sentenced to two years in prison. They argued in court on Wednesday that their impromptu performance inside Moscow's main cathedral in February was political in nature and not an attack on religion.
the performance.
The Moscow City Court ruled that Yekaterina Samutsevich's sentence should be suspended because she was thrown out of the cathedral by guards before she could remove her guitar from its case and thus did not take part in
If the Kremlin's plan was to create a riff in the trio by letting just one band member go, it didn't seem to work.
The two other defendants squealed with joy and hugged Samutsevich before she was led from the courtroom to be mobbed by friends and journalists waiting outside on the street.
Dressed in neon-colored dresses and tights, with homemade balacavas on their heads, the band members performed a "punk prayer" asking the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Putin as he headed into a March election that would hand him a third term.
"If we unintentionally offended any believers with our actions, we express our apologies," said Samutsevich, who along with Maria Alekhina and Nadehda Tolokonnikova spoke in court Wednesday from inside a glass cage known colloquially as the "aquarium."
Both the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church would like to see an end to a case that has caused international outrage, but they would hate to be seen as caving to pressure. As much as anything, the release of Samutsevich is viewed as a reward for her decision this month to drop defense lawyers who had antagonized the Kremlin with their politicized statements.
"The idea of the protest was political, not religious," Samutsevich said. "In this and in previous protests we acted against the current government of the president, and against the Russian Orthodox Church as an institution of the Russian government, against the political comments of the Russian patriarch. Exactly because of this I don't consider that I committed a crime."
AFRICA
Questionable painting declassified
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHANNESBURG — South Africa's Film and Publication Board Wednesday declassified a painting showing the genitals of President Jacob Zuma.
The board's spokesman, Prince Milandela Ndamase, said that artist Brett Murray "The Spear"
which outraged supporters of President Zuma when it was displayed early this year at Johannes-
burg's Goodman Gallery — is no longer deemed offensive to public taste.
The painting was widely seen by supporters of Zuma as a racist attack on his polygamous ways. But Murray, responding to a High Court case brought by Zuma, who sought to censor the artwork, said in an affidavit that it was part of a show criticizing the ANC for alleged greed and corruption. He also said that details of Zuma's sex life had become part of the public debate in South Africa.
The review board "has set aside the classification decision" after meeting about two weeks ago to review the painting, which was first displayed in May, said Ndamase.
The painting was condemned by the ruling ANC and Zuma himself in court documents that the artwork undermined his constitutional right to dignity. But the gallery and the artist countered that freedom of expression was at stake, too.
The painting was later taken down after two men defaced it with paint, claiming they were acting independently of each other in defense of Zuma. It was not immediately possible to get a comment from the Goodman Gallery or Murray after the declassification decision.

Pakistani schools hold vigil for girl
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD — Schools shut their doors in protest and Pakistanis across the country held vigils Wednesday to pray for a 14-year-old girl who was shot by a Taliban gunman after daring to advocate education for girls and criticize the militant group.
The shooting of Malala Yousufzai on Tuesday in the town of Mingora in the volatile Swat Valley horrified Pakistanis across the religious, political and ethnic spectrum. Many in the country hoped the attack and the outrage it has sparked will be a turning point in Pakistan's longrunning battle against the Taliban, which still enjoys considerable public support for fighting U.S. forces in neighboring Afghanistan.
A Taliban gunman walked up to a bus taking children home from school and shot Malala in the head and neck. Another girl on the bus was also wounded. Pictures of the vehicle showed bloodstained seats where the girls were sitting.
Malala appeared to be out of immediate danger after doctors
operated on her early Wednesday to remove a bullet lodged in her neck. But she remained in intensive care at a hospital in the northwestern city of Peshawar, and Pakistan's Interior Minister said the next 48 hours would be crucial.
Small rallies and prayer sessions were held for her in Mingora, the eastern city of Lahore, the southern port city of Karachi and the capital of Islamabad. In newspapers, on TV and in social media forums, Pakistanis voiced their disgust with the attack, and expressed their admiration for a girl who spoke out against the Taliban when few dared.
Even the country's top military officer, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, condemned the shooting and visited the Peshawar hospital to check on the teenager.
"In attacking Malala, the terrorist have failed to grasp that she is not only an individual, but an icon of courage and hope who vindicates the great sacrifices that the people of Swat and the nation gave, for wresting the valley from the scourge of terrorism," he said.

NEW YORK — During the next presidential debate, the candidates will be pondering the important questions of our time. But the most controversial may be "Sausage or pepperoni?"
Pizza Hut is offering a lifetime of free pizza — one large pie a week for 30 years — or a check for $15,600 to anyone who poses the question to either President Barack Obama or Republican candidate Mitt Romney during the live Town Hall-style debate next Tuesday.
The proposed stunt, which the pizza chain announced Tuesday, is unlikely to happen because of the strict rules that these types of debates typically follow. But if it does occur, it threatens to tick off millions of viewers who are expected to tune in to the debate to hear what the candidates have to say about the economy, health care
and other serious concerns facing this country.

Pizza Hut's move comes as marketers continue to look for new ways to engage TV audiences that increasingly are resistant to their traditional commercials. It's also happening at a time when Americans are paying closer attention to presidential debates. On Oct. 3, an estimated 67.2 million people watched the first debate between Obama and Romney, the largest TV audience for a presidential debate since 1992, according to Nielsen's ratings service.

It's not the first time a question that could be seen as frivolous has been asked of a president or candidate during a live, televised event. One of the most famous moments in TV history came during a 1994 MTV Town Hall when an audience member asked then-President Bill Clinton whether he wore "Boxers or briefs?" Clinton's sheepish response, "Usually briefs," became an indelible moment in pop culture.
But such moments don't always end well. During Obama's 2009 State of the union address, for instance, South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson yelled out "You lie, you lie." Wilson quickly apologized but was widely criticized by members of both parties for the breach of decorum.
It can be even more difficult for marketers to get away with such outbursts. While companies long have used hot political topics to gain publicity for their brands, it can backfire. For example, there was backlash in February 2011 when Kenneth Cole compared the Arab Spring uprisings to a frenzy over the U.S. designer's spring collection. The company later apologized.
"I think people are frustrated with the political process, but they don't want it to be a zoo," said Allen Adamson, managing director of branding firm Landor Associates in New York.
"Context really matters," said Deborah Mitchell, Clinical Professor of Marketing at Ohio State University. "Political satire is fine if it's in the context of where people are expecting it. When context is violated that's when you run into trouble."
Even if Pizza Hut's stout doesn't turn off viewers, Laura Ries, president of Atlanta-based brand strategy firm Ries and Ries, said it still will likely fail. That's because it does not substantially connect back to the Pizza Hut brand
"The problem is that it's too contrived; it's completely made up," she said. "For something to move past silly gimmick and become more successful brand connection, it does have to have some sort of relevance."
To its critics, Pizza Hut, a unit of Louisville, Ky-based Yum Brands Inc., said there is room for both serious and lighthearted questions in the debate, which will be broadcast on most network and cable news stations.
"We know there are a lot of serious topics that are going to be debated and need to be debated," Pizza Hut spokesman Doug Terfehr said.
But Terfehr said the pizza chain, which operates 10,000 restaurants in 90 countries, saw this as a way to ask an "everyday question" that people can relate to. "Pizza seems to be a question everyone understands."

"It's how relaxing it is," Pang said. "Depending on what I'm trying to do for the day, if I'm riding home or trying to get somewhere, I just throw on my headphones and coast."
Pang's favorite place to skateboard is Wescoe because it's flat. He said a skateboarder's worst nightmare is cracks and gravel; when skating downhill, hitting a crack in the path can turn into a bad accident.
Last year, 42 people died while skateboarding, according to a 2014 USA skateboarding fatality report by Skaters for Public Stateguards Research Committee. Most of the fatalities were caused by skating in the street, and 39 of the deaths were people between the ages of 13 and 24, according to the report.
A couple of years ago, Pang bansha on Wassail white skateboarding with friends. He 41 mentioned to jump the stairs.
because that's what we do" Pang said. "If you plan on doing something like that, you roll up to it first to see how your heart is going to feel when you are actually doing it. I got a feel for the area and I felt good, I really did. I went up
to it, jumped it, but I didn't pop it hard enough."
Pang landed on his board at the wrong angle. His feet went flying out from under him, which left his burt crashing onto the concrete at the bottom of the steps. This stunt did not lead to any injuries for Pang. In fact, he's never broken a bone while skateboarding.
The renovation to Wesco Beach made it easier for Pang to skate because it's smoother than it was before.
"The new benches are perfect for a dynamic array of tricks and just hanging out," Pang said.
Peg Livingood, a landscape architect at the Office of Design and Construction Management, said skateboarding on concrete benches and retaining walls breaks down the materials and makes them look worm. She also said skating on railings can scrap paint and leave exposed steel which can cause rust.
"I encourage skateboardsers to help us maintain the beauty of the campus." Livingood said. "We need all the belts, cane and

West Campus Road to 13th Street, including 1000 feet on either side of this corridor on the University of Kansas campus." The penalty for getting caught skating within unauthorized areas in Lawrence can be a fine of up to $30.
Skateboarding has helped him meet many friends and shaped him into the person he is today. Pang said skating was a good way for him to bond with friends since he wasn't into team sports until he came to college.
"As long as people are being safe and are handling themselves responsibly, then skateboarders on campus don't bother me," said James Smith, a sophomore from Memphis, Tenn.
"When I was younger, my parents were never home, so I would call up my friends and we would just stay on all night skateboarding," Pang said. "It's a really peaceful urban life. I really love it."

"Everyone is nice and friendly," Warner said. "This one time, I was spraying a bowl with hot water, and a girl walks in while I'm doing it, and it sprays all over her. I thought I was going to get fired, but she was
very nice about it, and I ended up keeping my job"
During the dinner, each houseboy is individually thanked by all house members and awarded a gift card.
Some houseboys said their relationship with the house members varies, but most houseboys and house members can agree they are comfortable with each other.
In addition to personal recognition by individual house members, houseboys of Pt Beta Phi hold a scholarship dinner every semester.
"Houseboys do a lot for us" said Kristy Gerard, a junior and Pita Bai Phi member. "So we always try to be friendly and thank them for their hard work."
A houseboy's job benefits include food, networking and a small stipend of $100 a month. On average, housebys work in sororities for a year.

Drivers drop the spare tire

HEALTH
DALLAS — In the months after Doug Robinson started driving a truck, he noticed his clothes were increasingly more snug-fitting. He was already overweight but soon realized that spending up to 11 hours behind the wheel, frequently eating fast food and not exercising was a poor combination.
When his employer, U.S. Xpress, took part in a weight-loss challenge sponsored by the Truckload Carriers Association, the 321-pound, 6-foot-1-inch Robinson signed un.
So far, he's about 40 pounds into his goal of dropping 100 pounds. His truck's refrigerator is stocked with chicken, tuna and vegetables. And after his day's drive, he walks
"I have asthma, so with the extra weight on there, it isn't good for me," said Robinson, a 30-year-old from Philadelphia. "When I started losing weight, instantly I was breathing better. I was sleeping better at night."
— either on trails near rest stops or just circling his truck.
"I think a lot of trucking companies are coming around to the idea that their drivers are their assets," said Boyd Stephenson of the American Trucking Associations, the industry's largest national trade association. He added that healthier employees help a company's bottom line.
There's an additional incentive for truckers to stay in shape — their job might depend on their health.
From trucking companies embracing wellness and weight-loss programs to gyms being installed at truck stops, momentum has picked up in recent years to help those who make their living driving big rigs get into shape.
Every two years, they must pass a physical exam required by U.S.
Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. They're checked for conditions that might cause them to become incapacitated — suddenly or gradually — while driving, including severe heart conditions, high blood pressure and respiratory disorders.
But there are obstacles for truck drivers who are mindful of their health. In addition to being seated for many hours at a time, eating options are usually limited to places with parking lots big enough to accommodate their tractor-trailers — most often truck stops, which historically have not been known for wholesome food or workout equipment.
While there are no weight restrictions, a commercial driver who has been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and isn't undergoing treatment will not get a medical certificate. Sleep apnea, more common among those who are overweight, leads to daytime sleepiness, a danger on long drives.
That's something truck stop chains have been trying to change.
Travel Centers of America, which
operates under the TA and Petro Stopping Centers brands, launched a program two years ago called StavFit that includes placing small, free gyms in truck stops, offering healthier eating options and half portions, mapping walking routes near truck stops and building basketball courts in some locations.
"We wanted to remove as many barriers to drivers' health as possible," said TravelCenters spokesman Tom Liukus, who said the company has gyms at 42 of its more than 240 locations, with plans to outfit them all by the end of next year. He added that the gyms have been accessed more than 30,000 times.
Gym franchiser Snap Fitness has partnered with Rolling Strong, which provides wellness programs aimed at truckers, to open gyms at Pilot Flying J locations. The first one opened south of Dallas in June: A nearly 1,000-square-foot stand-alone building filled with weights and a dozen or so machines. So far, more than 120 memberships have been sold for that gym.

In the city, you can look up and see all of five constellations. Out in a cornfield, 50 miles from the nearest man made light, the true depth of space is unveiled: light from thousands of unique stars, light that has journeyed billions of miles and is millions of years old, gently hits your eyes. You are literally looking into the past of the universe. It installed a sense of peace in me, and an undiminished yearning to explore the aptly named "final frontier." It was nights like those that made me want to be an astronaut.
Sadly, like most children, reality
soon reached my aging self. Only 1 in 10 million Americans become astronauts, and that number of astronauts has only diminished since the great Space Race of the Cold War. It has been almost 40 years since man has set foot on the Moon. And why? Because after the Soviet Union fell, NASA's budget was slashed, and then slashed again. The Apollo program was used by Congress as a powerful emotional weapon to demoralize the Communists, and that was it. You see, Congress gets easily bored by science explored only to expand humanity's knowledge, and after the great enemy fell, there was no need to keep putting lots of money into NASA.

and needs more money to do so.
I'm going to jump out on a limb and simply declare that the U.S. was at the head of the world in education, scientific discoveries and really everything else when NASA was in its prime and more children wanted to grow up to be astronauts and engineers rather than the next Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber.
est achievements in human history on a half-cent budget. But imagine what NASA could do with a 1-cent budget, or even with 2 cents of every tax dollar.
So I, and Bill Nye the Science Guy, believe NASA needs a larger budget. So we can explore the galaxy. So we can unite mankind behind a single cause. So that at the very least, NASA can hire more astronauts, and kids like me can grow up and travel to the stars.
You really don't have to imagine, because NASA will gladly tell you. If NASA had double the budget it has now, it could have sent 17 Curiosity rovers ($2.5 billion each) to Mars. NASA has plans of building a new rocket engine that could send people to Mars in 45 days, instead of 365. NASA wants to start sending people to the moon again, and establish a moon base for further solar exploration. You remember the warp drive that made the spaceships from "Star Trek" go faster than the speed of light? NASA is actually going to test starting warp theory,
the organization that put the American flag on the moon, the organization that built what is essentially a castle in space, the organization that shot a robot 350 million miles to Mars and hit a 1 kilometer wide target during this year's Olympics.

Watching debate on illegal drugs
By Sylas May
smay@kansan.com
Oh my GOD, this stuff is FAN-TASTIC! Oh, ya want to talk about politics for ya? Here's some politics for ya if a broke hack like me can get his hands on stuff this awesome, what can highpoweredpoliticians get? Onethingsforsure: I want someofwhatever Joe Biden's on!
When I read the news these days, it often leaves me with more questions than answers. For instance, when I read that story a couple weeks ago about the guy who took a bunch of different drugs and then painted a self-portrait while on each one, I thought, "I wonder whom he's voting for this November." If the guy's eccentric enough to draw a picture while stoned out of his mind, he's certainly eccentric enough to huff his way through a checklist of drugs while waxing political with his buddies, right? What would those conversations sound like?

So, like, Barack. I saw that debate on Tues... Wednesday. Last Wednesday. And he looked so different, man! Like, in the '08 election, he was so chill, y'know? But he's kinda lettin' Mitt get to him! Like, lookin' away from him and frownin' and stuff! He needs to stop lettin' "the man" get to him like that! Maybe he should do like me and light up a fatty before the next debate.
BATH SALTS
Sorry for keeping you guys waiting. I had to set the timer on the hobo-face casserole I'm making for dinner; it's a new recipe, and I want to make sure it gets cooked all the way through to stave off the salmonella demons. I honestly don't know who I'm pulling for in the election, even after the debates. Romney is a mixed bag; on one hand, he hasn't been much of an activist for zombie rights, but on the other hand, cutting entitlements might lead to more poor people out on the streets, which could cut down on my living expenses quite a bit. I guess a lot of it will hinge on how good this casserole tastes. Call me a single-issue voter if you want; I haven't got a mind to disagree, or, hell, any kind of mind at all.

So I'm watching the first debate online, and I can't stop staring at Romney's flag pin. It's bigger than Obama's. Whoa, Damn, and you squint reeeeeccaaally hard at Obama's flag pin, you can see a hammer and sickle. Oh, God, it's Joey Stalin! He's wearing a flesh mask! It's a mask it's an Obama mask MITT, HIT THE DECK!
God, I've got such a headache. Maybe I should have made Tyleenol the last drug on the list. Or HeadOn. After mulling it over, I've come to the conclusion that the election is anyone's game at this point. Either way, our country's gonna have four mediocre years ahead of it, so in the meantime I'm going to keep nursing my drug problem to take my mind off of politics. I would advise each of you to do the sa—WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING IN MY OVEN!

"Seeking arrangements" another option for singles
With the election coming up in less than a month, the state of the economy is only being talked about more and more. But especially if they aren't graduating for a few years, students may feel at least slightly disconnected from it. They may pay taxes, but many are at least somewhat removed from the stress of finding and keeping a stable career and how the economy impacts employment.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
But one way that the economy has recently affected students has been in their dating lives. The two elements may seem totally unrelated, but according to Seeking Arrangements, an online site for sugar daddies and their babies, the number of college students that use the site has exploded in the last few years. In fact, of its 800,000 users, 41-year-old founder Brandon Wade estimates that 35 percent of them are college students, who get rewarded for registering an email address ending in "edu."
Students who register those email addresses receive an automatic free upgrade from a basic membership to the a premium one, which allows the babies to send messages to the site's "VIP sugar daddies" On top of that, those babies get a free stamp on their profiles that certify them as college sugar babies.
"Sugar" relationships are generally characterized as being between a much older benefactor and a younger recipient, or a "sugar baby," who receives money,
gifts and more for companionship, sexual favors, etc. Typically these babies are young females, but they can also be young gay men looking for a "daddy" or other straight guys who desire a relationship with a sugar mama.
Many people gasp and scoff at the idea of these sugar relationships because they aren't "real" or that it's prostitution, but when the pickings at the University seem slim and the chances of being able to afford a college education by your lonesome are even slimmer, it's practical if you think that kind of relationship will work for you.
Sugar relationships aren't for everyone, myself included, but times are hard. And because these relationships are pre-arranged with (usually) clear expectations already set, babies who wish to partake often find them very easy.
By legal definition, the relationship between a sugar daddy and baby is not prostitution because people paid for services besides sex (sugar babies are often also paid for companionship) are not prostitutes.
Semantics aside, though, there's no arguing that sugar babies are still seen this way. And having sugar daddies is often looked down on as bad cases of abandonment and rejection. But they shouldn't be. After all, many relationships are based on "agreements." The difference is, though, that other kinds of agreements, like good sex or convenience factors like proximity, or issues like "we've just been together forever" exist. Sugar daddies and babies are just more upfront about it. Everyone looks for something specific in relationships, and these babies are no different.
By no means am I necessarily endorsing the website or the construct of sugar relationships. But what I am saying is that even if we don't wish to partake in them, the least we can do is live and let live. Sugar relationships may be blatantly superficial, but everyone is at least a little superficial anyway.
Someone else's sugar baby status doesn't affect my life, and we need to stop acting like it affects anyone else'. In the end, it's just a lifestyle choice that struggling students have made for themselves to help fund their education. And in a vay, it's kind of genius.
After all, ca ollege girl's gotta get paid, son.

THE ODDE OF HELL
The Edge of Hell, a haunted house in downtown Kansas City, Mo., has been around for 30 years. It is a five-story building where 45 actors scare visitors with improvised antics and special effects
Haunted house puts visitors on 'edge'
EMMA LEGAULT

For fans of fear and fright, this Halloween is a perfect chance to experience life on the edge. The Edge of Hell, that is.
Located in the heart of Kansas City, Mo., the Edge of Hill haunted house is not for the faint of heart. The building, a converted five-story warehouse, is creepy enough. Add into the mix 45 live performers and the latest technology, and the Edge of Hell becomes "the national model for celebrating the entertainment value of confronting fear," as stated by their website, edgeofhell.com.
Ian Leverich, a freshman from Olathe, said the first time he visited two years ago he was skeptical, but the atmosphere of the house changed his opinion.
"As soon as we got through the doors I realized it was probably going to be significantly scarier than I'd previously thought," he said.
"Each room provided a different kind of fear for all different kinds of people, which is the purpose of a hell-themed haunt anyways." Leverhill said.
Leverich said the use of technology, the "scary staff members" and the scenes that make up the quarter-mile trek through "Hell" were impressive.
If you aren't on the edge of your seat by the end of the 30-minute walk, what makes the Edge of Hell "the granddaddy of 'em all" is the spiral slide from the fifth story to the first at the end, giving visitors the sensation of sliding right "into the arms of the Devil himself," the website said.
Emory Hall, a freshman from Kansas City, Kan., remembered the "heaven or hell" slide as the scariest part of the attraction from her class
trip in middle school. Like Leverich, she enjoyed the realistic costumes and props the actors used.
"For those who are looking for a good time, they will definitely be scared," she said.
Those wanting to experience the Edge of Hell and its close relative, The Beast, can purchase combo tickets starting at $36. Single tickets start at $23. Ticket ordering information is available online through the Edge of Hell website.
The attraction is open Thursday through Sunday from now until Oct. 28 and is open from Monday through Friday the week of Halloween. On Saturdays it opens one hour
earlier than its regular 7:30 p.m. start time.
Although the calendar shows the current schedule, a disclaimer on their website ominously states that the Edge of Hell "is open until the fog lifts in Werewolf Forest, or Hell freezes over.. whichever comes first."
Both Hall and Leverch agree that the Edge of Hell is an experience worth getting a little freaked out for.
"I would totally recommend it to anyone wanting to get into the Halloween spirit," Hall said.

Arrow new CW series
MCCLATHY-TRIBUNE
In its pursuit of young women viewers, The CW has at times relied on such obvious strategies as soap operas, like its reboot of "90210," and women-centric shows such as the new "Emily Owens, M.D." a younger-generation "Grey's Anatomy" imitator, which premieres Oct. 16. But the network has also believed that young women like fantasy adventure — and that the boys may come along, too. Hence the long runs for "Supernatural," currently in its eight season, and the now-concluded "Smallville."
Hence also the new series,
"Arrow," which premieres at 9 p.m.
EDT Wednesday on the network.
This is the latest descendant of the old Green Arrow comic books, part of the same creative world
as Superman and Batman. The Green Arrow dressed in a manner reminiscent of Robin Hood; he packed a bow and a quiver full of trick arrows for different jobs. Like Batman, his secret identity was that of a wealthy man, in this case Oliver Queen.
The CW series begins with the transition of Oliver, the young heir to a fortune in fictional Starling City, into the vigilante known as the Arrow, Oliver, once a tabloid-filling wastrel, disappeared following a mysterious shipwreck; as the series begins, five years have passed and Oliver, long thought dead, is found alive on a Pacific island.
Alive, of course, and changed, much as Starling City has changed in his absence. In public, Oliver is still the playboy of the past. In private, though, he sees considerable injustice and corruption in the city.
And with skills acquired somehow during his absence, he is ready to make things better.
Among the new network dramas, this is second on my best list, behind "Last Resort." It has considerable flair, a dark look that works well with the material and, in Stephen Amell, a lead actor who is effective both as Oliver and as the Arrow.
The premiere has its silly moments, particularly when it tries for the big action sequence. But there are mysteries aplenty, not only among the people trying to figure out the returned Oliver, but among those running Starling City, whose agendas are not all clear. The flashbacks to Oliver's shipwrecked past are good, and Stephen Amell plays both Oliver and the Arrow with skill. It's all worth a look.
Tyson can go to Australia
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Australia granted Mike Tyson a visa Wednesday, one week after New Zealand barred the former heavyweight boxing champion from entering that country due to his 1992 rape conviction.
Officials carefully weighed the pros and cons of his visit and of his character given his criminal past before making the decision, said Cian Manton, a spokeswoman.
an for Australia's Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
She said it was the first time Tyson had applied for a visa to Australia and he was warned the privilege could be revoked if he broke any laws.
"Given the purpose of his visit and the short duration, we considered the risk of him reoffending to be very low," Manton said.
The entertainment visa he was granted covers the duration of Tyson's five-city Australian tour
starting next month.
He was scheduled to visit both countries on the "Day of the Champions" tour to give inspirational talks about overcoming adversity in his life. New Zealand immigration authorities initially granted him a visa before a charity withdrew its support and officials reversed their decision.
Tyson served three years in prison for rape.

LIAM NEESON
TAKEN 2
COMING SOON
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
"Taken 2" is the sequal to director Pierre Morel's 2008 movie Taken starring Liam Neeson. The movie opened last Friday.
Same story, different city on display in 'Taken 2'
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
Note to Albanian sex traffickers: Stop taking stuff from Liam Neeson.
The original "Taken" was a tightly-paced, leanly plotted Euro thriller starring Nesenas as Bryan Mills, a tough-as-nails CIA operative who used his "very particular set of skills" to save his kidnapped daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace), from the clutches of a prostitution ring.
Its follow-up, the imaginatively titled "Taken 2," is the action movie equivalent of "The Hangover Part II": an overblown, underwritten rehash that fully expects its audience to forget they've seen this all before, and with shrewder direction and sharper dialogue. Every sequel is formulaic to some extent, but this "same script, different city" phenomenon really needs to stop.
Olivier Megaton's film starts off promisibly, opening with a mass funeral for all the swarthy stereotypes Neeson's character bumped off in the first film. Presiding over their burial is Krasniqi (Rade Serbedzija), who vows to track down Mills and his family in order to exact satisfaction for the murder of his son, one
of the original kidnappers. The idea of anonymous henchmen being avenged by their loved ones is a potentially awesome concept, but unlike its predecessor, which had zero qualms about Mills threatening the lives of innocent Parisians, "Taken 2" has no interest in ethical complexity.
After her traumatic experience abroad, Kim seems suspiciously eager to travel with her mother (Famke Janssen) tostanbul, where Mills has just completed a mission for the U.S. embassy. By the time Krasniqi men abduct her parents, she's lounging in a bikini by the side of a deserted hotel swimming pool. This girl either has nerves of steel or short-term memory loss. Anyway, it falls to the daughter to rescue her super-spy pops, meaning that a wretched portion of the movie is spent watching Kim run around Istanbul, chucking grenades at major landmarks and handling a taxi like a student-driver Steve McQueen.
Neselson, an actor who's made stoic intensity his bread and butter, gives a dutiful, vaguely disinterested performance as Mills. The bearded, velvet-voiced Serbedzija bears an unfortunate resemblance to the
Most Interesting Man in the World from the Dos Equis commercials, a fact that makes it difficult to take him seriously as the big bad. "I don't always kidnap Liam Neeson's family, but when I do, I prefer to do it in Istanbul."
All these criticisms would be minor, however, if "Taken 2" had a firmer command of its action scenes. The fighting here is intercept with Megaton's woky camerawork and an infuriating lack of spatial awareness, so that every confrontation unfolds in a confused, rapid-cut blur. At one point, Neeson appears to literally face-palm a character to death. Or maybe that's what really happened. We are talking about the guy who trained Obi-Wan and Batman. For "Taken 3," may I suggest a killer noogie?

Ben Affleck stars as Tony Mendez, center, in "Argo," a rescue thriller about the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. Affleck also directed the film.

Affleck does it again from director's chair
ALEX LAMB
alamb@kansan.com
Ben Affleck officially reclaims status as Hollywood golden boy with his new political thriller "Argo." He proves in his third directorial outing that he's got the chutzpah to take on both the historic Iran hostage crisis and the duplicity of the movie industry in the same film — a feat that awards voters undoubtedly test.
While Affleck is still thought of mainly as an actor, his real calling lies in the director's chair. With "The Town" he solidified himself as a force to be reckoned with behind the camera (simultaneously giving his best performance in front of the camera). In "Argo" he transports that same heist-flick suspense to a real-life tale of an international rescue mission.
This starts with the most intense opening of the year, where in the aftermath of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the American Embassy in Tehran is stormed by a rioting crowd of Islamist students and militants. Fifty-two Americans are taken hostage, though six others
escape capture and hole up in the Canadian ambassador's home.
Ten weeks later, CIA "exfiltration" specialist Tony Mendez (Affleck) develops a plan to get the six diplomats out: build a cover in Hollywood for a fake sci-fi flick, go into Tehran as the movie's producer and bring the group out under the guise of the film crew on a location scouting trip.
The first part of this scheme — creating a fake blockbuster — lampoons the Hollywood system and provides a surprising amount of laugh-out-loud humor to a serious story, mostly thanks to John Goodman and Alan Arkin's showrunner characters.
But once Mendez arrives in Tehran, Affleck lays on the tension of the situation. By the time the climactic escape is set in motion, viewers' hearts are racing furiously as the group runs through a mine-field of danger that threatens to destroy them at each step.
From the engrossing writing to the break-neck editing, "Argo" grabs the audience from start to finish. However, it's the excellent period and cultural detail, the
interwoven real footage and news reports and, of course, the urgent performances of the terrific ensemble cast that place viewers right there in the thick of it.
While Affleck drives the mission forward with an absorbing gravitas, Bryan Cranston (who's seemingly everywhere these days) also leaves a solid impression as his CIA handler. Scoot McNairy stands out among the diplomats, distrufful of Mendez's plan and further adding to the film's nervous energy.
With the recent embassy attack in Libya, "Argo" takes on another level of political timeliness and meaning. This story makes for a hell of a ride, and an example of the power of cinema, it satisfies both on a historical and a dramatic level.

Adolescent invincibilities on tap in Chbosky's 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'

The film's eponymous wallflower is Charlie (Logan Lerman), a painfully introverted freshman who's
Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" is a film that sneaks up on you. At first the story, adapted from Chbosky's own 1999 novel, trudges along as a reasonably diverting young adult quirk-fest, the kind where a band of would-be Holden Caulfields rage against suburbia by smoking pot and going to foreign films, and the main character's dream girl is defined by her outre obsession with vinyl.
Then David Bowie's "Heroes" kicks in on the soundtrack, and "Perks" begins to soar. Here's a movie that recalls the high school experience with a disarming sincerity that sees past the pimpled layers of angst and affectation, revealing the budding mind and wilted heart of adolescence itself.
starting high school just after his best friend's suicide. The only connection he makes on his first day is with his English teacher Mr. Anderson (Paul Rudd), who sees the boy's potential as a writer and challenges him with essays on the works of Fitzgerald and Salinger. After a few weeks of bookish isolation, Charlie meets the spunky upperclassman Sam (Emma Watson) and her ebullient gay stepbrother Patrick (Ezae Miller) and is quickly swept into their world of alternative music, late-night city drives and the singular sensation of performing "Rocky Horror" live in fishnets and heels.
Lerman, who first impressed me as Christian Bale's headstrong son in "3:10 to Yuma," ascends to leading-man status here, finding the right balance between Charlie's nice-guy placidity and the stormy, pangs of depression he feels after a pair of life-altering tragedies. Watson, fresh from her Hogwarts valedictory and sporting a nearly
Yet as excellent as Lerman and Watson are, Ezra Miller nearly steals the show out from under them as Patrick, whose puckish nature masks deep wounds over a boyfriend (Johny Simmons) who refuses to acknowledge him in public. After Miller's fearsome performance as Tilda Swinton's sociopathic spawn in last year's "We Need To Talk About Kevin," I was worried about him being typecast as purely malevolent characters. Turns out my fears were unfounded. His Patrick is an inspired creation, veering madly from kook wisdom to mournful abandon.

As a college student, I know the size of my wallet and the span of my food menus. Sure, some nights I'll splurge and eat out, but most of the time I'm stocking up on Ramen noodles or waiting for a Dillons employee to mark down the rotisserie chickens, which is around 7:30 every night in case you were wondering. It's all right though; I understand my tight budget, and it makes me much more thankful when I go home and enjoy my parents' cooking. But despite my lightweight wallet and micro-wave meals, a purchase that always seems to make the cut is beer.
Now, I'm no stranger to the lower ends of this beverage, and very often I will go for quantity over quality (here's looking at you. Keystone), but there is much to be said about a six-pack of a good
microbrew. The variety of tastes can match just about any palate. The dedication put in by brewers makes it a work of art worth admiring, and most importantly, it signals a change in season for many. For me, fall started with that first six-pack of Oktoberfest.
The German celebration of beer is a beautiful one and has inspired a huge market for big and small brewers across the nation. Whether you're looking local with Free State or Boulevard, or more well-known with Sam Adams, most major microbrewers have an Oktoberfest beer of some sort. I've been dabbling in these purchases since late September, but what I was really looking forward to was Lawrence's own Oktoberfest celebration. Unfortunately, unlike the Germans' 16-day festival, Lawrence's was confined to a single evening, which happened to be last Saturday and also happened to be a day I worked. Needless to say, I drowned my sorrows in a six-pack later that night, but even the power of the great Sam Adams couldn't make me forget about the missed opportunity.
Fortunately for me and all other 21+ brew enthusiasts, we
have a second chance at beer and bratwurst heaven. Frank's North Star Tavern, 508 Locust St., is hosting their first annual Oktoberfest this Friday. There’s the promise of lots of beer, polka music and pork products starting at 6 p.m., so stop by North Lawrence for a change of venue and culture. Now, I won’t lie. I've never been and have only rarely heard of Frank's Tavern, and based on its location, you may not have either. But in my research, I've found that it seems like quite the awesome locale. The couch-filled bar only recently opened its doors in 2012 but has gotten some pretty good reviews. They also host movie nights every Monday, so that's definitely getting marked on my calendar soon. Their Facebook page also mentions an "Android Dungeon," and although I have no idea what that means, it sounds really cool.
So if youre of age and willing to try some new brew, join me in celebration of the only people who drink as much beer as my Irish ancestors. Danke Deutschland!
Seasonal microbrews prove 'quality over quantity' is the way to go in modern-day beer drinking.

Psycopaths abound in new Farrell movie
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
With its blend of low-rent gangster cool, high-body-count hipster violence, smart-mouth dialog, inspired casting, and a blissfully retro soundtrack at odds with the onscreen mayhem, "Seven Psychopaths" might have been a groundbreaking film — in 1992. As it stands, despite some clever touches and one surprisingly moving performance, it just feels like leftover Quentin Tarantino or
Elmore Leonard, packaged and reheated for a new generation.
Colin Farrell is Marty, a struggling Irish screenwriter in Hollywood, who has only been able to come up with an eye-catching title for his latest work — "Seven Psychopaths" — but zero ideas to go along with it.
That's when his buddy Billy (Sam Rockwell) suggests he riff on something he read in the paper; two hit men slain in the Hollywood hills by a masked killer.
But Marty and Billy — who works with Hans (Christopher Walken) to steal rich people's dogs and return them for the reward money — soon find themselves dropped into the world of real-life psychopaths after the shiu tzu of a local mob boss, Charlie (Woody Harrelson), is nabbed. Charlie wants his dog back and he's willing to do anything to get it.

From there, the fictional world in Marty's head and the real world consequences of nabbing the
Along the way, we get a rabbitloving Tom Waits, a weirdly vengeful Harry Dean Stanton, and the chance to hear Farrell's real accent. It's all set in a Southern California that practically shimmers off the screen.

Granada hosts Taking Back Sunday
ALLIE KITE akite@kansan.com
Taking Back Sunday, an American rock band, will play at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., this Saturday. The band is touring the United States, Taking Back Sunday formed in 1999 and released its first album, "Tell All Your Friends," in 2002. Since, the band has seen a lot of changes, including changes in its members. The band is now made up of lead vocalist Adam Lazzara, lead guitarist and back-up vocalist John Nolan, rhythm guitarist Eddie Reyes, bassist Shaun Cooper and drummer Mark O'Connell.
They released their latest self-titled album, "Taking Back Sunday," in 2011, which has something to offer both old and new fans.
Nolan said the songs on this album "vary a little more stylistically." But Murphy Kaufman, a senior from Wichita, appreciates the fact that the band has "stood true" to its roots.
Kaufman first became acquainted with Taking Back Sunday through PureVolume" and has been a fan ever since. She describes them as having "a lot of layers in their music." Though most wouldn't describe "Taking Back Sunday as screamo, Kaufman likes that they incorporate it into their style.
"It's something different, and they make it work." Kaufman said. "But it's not just a bunch of screaming."
Kaufman is looking forward to the concert, and she plans to attend with a friend. The two have been listening to Taking Back Sunday together for years.
"A lot of people that have been listening to the band since day one and a lot of fans who have only just discovered the band in the past few years," he said.
Nolan hopes to "attract as diverse a fan base as possible" in addition to the longtime fans.
The doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are general admission and cost $25.
Taking Back Sunday performs at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, in Sept. of 2009 as an opening act for Blink-182's reunion tour. Taking Back Sunday will be playing at the Granada in Lawrence on Saturday.

University's first play to honor Hitchcock
LELLY GRIMM
egrimm@kansan.com
The KU Department of Theatre will make a bold statement by honoring filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock in its first show of the season.
"It's a type of show right up my alley," said Alex Espy, the director. "It's very stylized and physical, which I've done in the past."
The season-opening show will be the comedy "The 39 Steps," a play based on a novel that Hitchcock turned into a film. The story follows a man going through a mid-life crisis and then going out on an adventure to spark his personal fire again.
"It was fun being able to explore several characters and using my body to help portray characters and playing with different character types," said cast member Tim Wilkinson, a junior from Shawnee.
Espy said he had many goals for "The 39 Steps."
"Some of my main ones were to bring their essence to the rehearsal process, and I also wanted them to grow as far as physical acting goes and into the heightened style." Espy said. "It was fun getting them to have that sense."
The play is one of several picked out for the 2012-2013 theater season. According to Espy, rehearsals have been going on since the end of August.
"it's been amazing." Espy said. "The show is collaborative and works best if the actors bring their essence to the rehearsal process, which they all certainly have."
First-time assistant stage manager, Cassidy Huscher, a freshman from Wichita, also enthusiastically talked about the rehearsal process.
"It's been fun seeing everything come together," she said. "It's been a learning experience, but definitely something I thought I'd be able to do."
The cast members will each be portraying several characters throughout the show.
"The hardest part was making it look effortless, but it's a lot of fun" Wilkinson said. "It was fun adding tics and physical differences to make them more distinct for the audience as different people."
Espy also shared some of his other experiences with the show. "It was great working with the cast, developing the relationships, watching them make discoveries and hone their physical and comedic skills," he said. "Everyone has grown throughout the process."
Wilkinson also added his goals for the performance.
"It's going to be a fun time, and I hope the audience has a great time watching it," he said.
The play starts Oct. 12 and continues until Oct. 21. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 12 as well as Oct 18-20. Matinee performances will be at 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 14 and 21. All performances will be held in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. Tickets are $10 for students, $18 for the general public and $17 for staff and senior citizens.

Fashion Week dos and don'ts

As Paris wraps up Fashion Week as the final city, we're now knowledgeable of the future dos and don'ts for early 2013. It may feel strange to think ahead a full semester of clothes, but hey, teachers always say not to procrastinate, right?
Peplum pieces, black and white combinations, floral prints, '70s
Leaves are turning, squirrels are prancing, and pumpkins are flooding grocery stores nationwide. You may be deciphering your Halloween costume, but what you should be thinking about are upcoming spring trends.
inspired silhouettes, sporty dresses, pointy shoes, sleek ponytails, teal fabrics and more filled the runways in New York City, London, Milan and Paris these past few weeks. While runway looks may be intimidating or far too crazy for the average college student to wear, incorporating upcoming trends into closets can be even more simple than choosing your Halloween costume.
Toning down the high-fashion ensembles can be done in an endless amount of ways. For instance, maxi dresses can fit any occasion and don't need to be viewed as a fancier option. Every shape and size looks great in this style, and these dresses come in all types of fits and patterns. Keep it casual and cool with cotton tank dresses and flats, or spice it up for a night on the town with cut-outs or a slit shit. Floral is a trend we've seen now for a few seasons. Update the look by pairing it with other patterns or an additional floral piece. It may sound overwhelming, but if done properly, you'll be the most chic gal in the room. A helpful hint for doubling patterns is to keep one print large and the other on the smaller side. An easy way to update accessories is by doubling up bracelets. Pairing identical metal cuffs on each wrist is a fabulous way to top off any outfit. And don't feel like you have to wait until spring to wear these themes. Getting ahead of the game only gets you an A+ in style points.
Not only did Fashion Week display new designs, but runways also featured pieces you perhaps already have in your closet. Peekaboo dresses, sheer fabrics, highwaisted skirts and blazers continue to stand their ground on runways. Any of these items in teal, cobalt blue or leather will really have you blossoming in spring 2013.

COMMENTARY
The Twitter rant wasn't all that big of a deal, even though it did draw attention everywhere from the Los Angeles Times to USA Today. Weis probably used it as motivation heading into a game this paper called "Road Kill Ahead."
The glory days of Super Bowl victories in New England have to seem like decades ago for Charlie Weis, who instead is busy commenting about the student paper's coverage on Twitter and flip-flowing as well as any politician in Washington.
Never mind that the prediction was more spot-on than guessing Bill Self will win another Big 12 basketball title this season. Forget that Kansas hasn't won a Big 12 road game in more than four calendar years and has one conference victory since then. Weis was simply sticking up for his players before leading them to slaughter against Kansas State, a 56-16 loss.
A. K.
Where are Bill Belichick and Tom Brady when you need them?
Good for him.
KU-OSU
Game Day
Page 6B
Then came Sunday, when Weis held practice without seniors. On Monday's conference call, he mentioned the word "development" multiple times.
"There's only so much developing you can do with the seniors because they're already five games into their last year," Weis said. "They've got seven games to go. It is what it is."
OK, that's not indefensible. Anyone can see this season is a lost cause, and Weis' tenure in Lawrence won't be altered either way by an extra victory in 2012. You might as well build for 2013 and beyond.
Weis seeks distinct message
"Sunday as not a penalty to the seniors," Weis said. "It was the juniors, sophomores and freshmen that played a whole bunch. They were the ones that came up on the short end of the stick."
So why the need for the 180 degree turn on Tuesday?
Excuse me, but what?
Tell us you need to see which players are worth keeping next year. Reiterate what you said on Monday, that you're building for the future.
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Weis sounds like a coach caught somewhere in the middle. He wants to win immediately but doesn't have the talent. He wants to build for the future but doesn't want to stick with his reasoning for more than a day. With this season already in the toilet, he'd be best off turning the dial to hot or cold.
But don't sit on the fence and say you punishing the players who "played a whole bunch" while 60 percent of the starting lineup is seniors, and you trot out a senior quarterback each week who can't make two great passes in a row. Three-fifths of the starting offensive line is seniors as well, the same offensive line that has had Dayne Crist running for his life most games. They sure have "played a whole bunch" too.
There's no room for lukewarm. Just ask Coach Belichick.

BIG PLAY PROBLEMS
TRAVIS YOIING/KANSAN

Jayhawks focused on limiting Cowboys' high-potent offense
Sophomore linebacker Ben Heeney tackles Kansas State senior quarterback Colin Klein at the one yard line during the first half of the game against Kansas State Wildcats Saturday afternoon at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
BLAKE SCHUSTER
hschuster@kansan.com
The Kansas Jayhawks defense has a big problem.
It's not that they haven't been getting stops — Kansas has greatly improved at that.
And it's not that they've been getting scored on too much — take away the second half against Kansas State and every game has been within reach.
No, Kansas' defensive problem is just big — big plays that is.
Against Kansas State, four Wildcat touchdowns came on plays of 20 yards or more. Only one of those scores came from K-State quarterback Collin Klein's passing abilities.
And here's where the problem gets worse. The Oklahoma State Cowboys are storming into Memorial Stadium with the fifth best run game in the country, averaging 300 yards per game.
That's a big concern for Kansas coach Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Dave Campo.
"That's a lot of yards and they're averaging just 55.8 points a game." Weis said. "It's big, big numbers. And it's big rushing totals. It's big passing totals, and it's big point totals. Those are big numbers."
him in third grade.
Randall is the Big 12' s leading rusher at this point. The junior is averaging 133 yards per game — seven yards per carry — and has six touchdowns to show for it.
The biggest weapon the Cowboys tot? Wichita native Joseph Randall. Weis said he heard a rumor that Kansas offered him a scholarship in fourth grade and joked they should have offered
He's also 6-foot-1,200 pounds a big man.
BASKETBALL
"He's a home run threat," Weis said of Randall. "And he's a home run threat when they dump the ball off to him, too. He's a very, very good player."
But before Kansas can worry about Oklahoma State scoring, it will have to limit the big plays that can put the Cowboys in that position.
It would be appropriate to point out that Kansas has one of the top-20 red zone defenses in the nation
five field goals when in the red zone.
— if it weren't for the fact that Oklahoma State has never reached their opponent's 20-yard line without coming away with points. The Cowboys have 2 touchdowns and
"We have to execute," defensive end Josh Williams said. "We need to make sure everyone is on the same page."
Campo said that preparing for Oklahoma State is nothing like Kansas State — the two teams present much different threats. All of the extra options that the Wildcats made use of, like Collin Klein's running ability, won't be a factor for the Cowboys.
but that doesn't mean defending the Cowboys will be any easier. Campo said the players that Oklahoma State boasts are a problem in itself.
Essentially, there will be fewer players to worry about
While the Cowboys' quarterbacks may not have the legs and strength of Klein, they do have Randall, who is no stranger to making big plays.
"We have to be disciplined and do the things we're doing," Campo said. "We're not throwing in the towel and saying hey we're not good enough, that's just not going to happen."
Stopping him will be no small feat.

team will have a different look than previous seasons. Unlike last year's team, which only saw one freshman play regularly, this Jayhawk team will count on contributions from its youngsters if they want to make another deep run in the NCAA tournament.
3. THE "OTHER" CONTENDERS
The men's basketball team isn't the only Jayhawk basketball team coming off an impressive tournament run. The women's team not only made it to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2000 but then proceeded to knock off first Nebraska and then Delaware with national player of the year finalist Elena Delle Donne.
Expectations for the Jayhawks are higher than they've been in years, as they were picked to finish fourth in the Big 12 this season and return seven of their top eight scorers from last season, including preseason All-Big 12 guard Angel Goodrich. Kansas gets an additional boost as senior forward Carolyn Davis returns to the court after suffering a season-ending knee injury against Kansas State last February.
This is the deepest team Henrickson's had in her time at Kansas, and they have the tournament experience to make another deep tournament run if they can survive the grind that is the tough Big 12 regular season.
The Kansas coaching staff saw a significant shake-up in the off-season, with the biggest move being the departure of former
2. LIFE AFTER MANNING
Jayhawk star Danny Manning taking the head coaching position at Tulsa. In his nine years on the Kansas staff, Manning became renowned for his ability to develop big men for the program. This fall marks the first time since the 2002-2003 season that the hero of the 1988 NCAA tournament will not be on the Kansas bench.
In his place, Norm Roberts returns to Kansas after spending six seasons as the head coach at St. John's and one season as an assistant coach at Florida. Roberts has a long history with Self, spending time under him at Oral Roberts, Tulsa, Illinois and one year at Kansas. Roberts differs from Manning in the fact that he specializes more in developing
perimeter players. The other new face on the sideline will be former Nebraska head coach Doc Sadler, who takes over as the director of basketball operations after Barry Hinson left to take the head coaching job at Southern Illinois.
1. NEW PLAYERS IN LEAD Roles
Seniors Elijah Johnson and Jeff Withey each had games last season in which they stepped up to the plate and made their presence known. Johnson emerged as an elite scoring threat in the tournament, and Withey transferred the skills he honed on the volleyball court to become one of the top defenders in the nation. But last year, they each also faded to the background in some games. This season they won't have Tyshawn Taylor or Thomas Robinson to fill that void, and they will have to step up every game. The players' on-court skills won't be completely on display, as the practice portion is mostly glorified for the fans, but it will present the first opportunity for them to demonstrate their leadership skills to the public.

Self receives distinguished coaching awards
Nan Wooden Muehlhausen, granddaughter of legendary UCLA coach John Wooden announced on Wednesday that Kansas Basketball coach Bill Self will be the recipient of the 2013 John R. Wooden's "Legends of Coaching" honor.
Since taking over the reigns of the Kansas basketball program in 2003, Self has guided his team to eight consecutive conference championships, five Big 12 tournament titles, two final four appearances and winning the 2008 National Championship.
The award, adopted by the Wooden Award Committee in 1999, is given to coaches that demonstrate high standards that Wooden lived by both on and off the court.
"This is a great honor and humbling, but non-deserving; plus it's a legends which makes me sound even older than what I am," Self said in a press release. "I had a chance to meet Coach Wooden and get to know him fairly well back in the year 2000 because of an award we received. Cindy and I were able to spend a weekend with him and his family. That was a cool experience. To be thought of in this regard with some of the coaches that have won this in the past is pretty humbling."
Off the court, Self is involved in his "Assists Foundation," which directs funds to help children in a variety of ways in the Lawrence community.
Self is the second coach recognized with the honor while coaching at Kansas. North Carolina coach Roy Williams received the honor in 2003, his final season at Kansas coach.
"Coach Wooden would have been honored to present this award to Coach Self in recognition not only of his coaching excellence, but also his character and commitments off the court." Greg Wooden, grandson of coach Wooden said in a press release.

Jayhawks force fifth set against Sooners to win
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
For the fourth time in six matches, the Kansas volleyball team survived a five-set match, defeating the Oklahoma Sooners 3-2. But for the first time this season, the Jayhawks had to scramble to make it to five sets last night in Norman, Okla.
Oklahoma dominated Kansas in sets two and three, winning 25-21 and 25-13. But the Jayhawks rallied behind junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael, who recorded a career-high 18 kills. Carmichael scored three of the Jayhawks' last five points in its fourth set victory, and three of its first six points in the fifth set.
"Erin's (McNorton) sets were amazing tonight, and so I think that definitely helped in me getting enough kills," Carmichael said. "I was hot, I was hitting really well, obviously. It was obviously a momentum change and we just kept rolling with it"
Coach Ray Bechard yells out instructions to his team during last season's game against Oklahoma.
Three times this season, the Jayhawks won the first two sets, only to lose the next two sets before finishing the match in the fifth set. Against the Sooners, it looked like Kansas wouldn't be able to force a fifth set.
at&t
Kansas used four Sooner errors to open an early 5-1 lead. Oklahoma committed nine errors during the set, leaving them with a .077 hitting percentage.
The lajhawks committed only four errors in the first set, and were paced offensively by junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc and senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefrew, who notched five and four blocks, respectively.
The second set seawed back and forth, with nine ties and three lead changes. However, with the score tied 15-15, an Oklahoma
kill and four straight Jayhawk attack errors gave the Sooners a commanding 20-15 lead. The Sooners final five points all came from kills, as the Jayhawks were could not stop them.
Oklahoma led 8-6 in the third set when they blocked four straight Kansas attacks on a single point, with the Sooners eventually earning the kill.
That dominance at the net spurred Oklahoma on an extended 16-6 run to take the third set.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
"In sets two and three we had 20 of them (errors)." Bechard said. "That continues to be a little bit of a bugaboo for us. Unforced errors from the attack standpoint put us in a little bit of a bind at times."
Coach Ray Bechard attributed the Sooners' win to Jayhawk errors.
Instead of wilting, however, Kansas began the fourth set with a block, a service ace, and two kills to open up a 4-1 lead. Carmichael notched seven kills in the set, including three of the team's final five points.
Sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton had four kills in the set and freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery had three.
The Jayhawks' offensive balance came from junior setter Erin McNorton, who dished out 54 assists and dug 22 balls. She already had a double-double midway through the second set.
Junior libero Brianna Riley also contributed a career-high 43 kills, helping Kansas get in-system quickly on its offensive attack.
"Cat made it really easy with her 18 kills," McNorton said. "There was one point in the game where the coaches told me 'Keep setting Cat until I tell you to stop.'"
Carmichael continued her hit
ting streak in the fifth set, recording three of the jayhawks' first six points. Kansas continued their tradition of starting fast in the fifth set, opening leads of 5-0 and 8-1.
The Sooners closed the gap to 11-8, but Carmichael responded with another kill to push the lead back to four points. Jarmo's kill closed out the Sooners 15-11 to move its record to 17-2 and 5-0 in conference play, the best start in school history on both accounts.
Kansas next faces the Texas Longhorns in Austin, Texas. Friday at 7:30 p.m.

NFL
Former Lions defensive lineman remembered, mourned
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT- Alex Karras was a man of many roles.
Fearsome NFL defensive lineman. Lovable TV dad. Hilarious big-screen cowboy.
And in the end, a dementia victim who blamed the NFL for his illness along with thousands of former players in lawsuits accusing the league of not doing enough to protect them from the long-term effects of head injuries.
The 77-year-old Karras, who managed to be tough, touching and tragic in the span of a lifetime, died Wednesday at his Los Angeles home surrounded by family members, said Craig Mitnick, Karras' attorney.
Karras was one of the NFL's most ferocious - and best - defensive
tackles for the Detroit Lions from 1958-70, bulling past offensive lineeman and hounding quarterbacks.
The charismatic bruiser went into acting after his football career, and in his signature scene dropped a horse with a punch as the soft-hearted outlaw Mongo in the 1974 comedy "Blazing Saddles." He also portrayed the father in the 1980s sitcom "Webster," along with his actress-wife Susan Clark, and was in the "Monday Night Football" broadcast both along the way.
Born in Gary, Ind., Karras starred for four years at Iowa and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Detroit drafted him
"Perhaps no player in Lions history attained as much success and notoriety for what he did after his playing days as did Alex," Lions president Tom Lewand said.
He was the heart of the Lions' defensive front that terrorized quarterbacks. The Lions handed the champion Green Bay Packers their only defeat in 1962, a 26-14 upset on Thanksgiving during which they harassed quarterback Bart Starr constantly.
Packers guard Jerry Kramer wrote in his diary of the 1967 season about his trepidation over having to face Karras.
with the 10th overall pick in 1958, and he was a three-time All-Pro defensive tackle over 12 seasons with the franchise.
"I'm thinking about him every minute." Kramer wrote.
Karras was All-Pro in 1960, 1961 and 1965, and he made the Pro Bowl four times. He was recognized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a defensive tackle on
the All-Decade Team of the 1960s and retired from the NFL in 1970 at age 35.
But Karras also had run-ins with the NFL long before his lawsuit. He missed the 1963 season when he was suspended by NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle in a gambling probe. Karras insisted he only wagered cigarettes or cigars with close friends.
"Alex Karras was an outstanding player during a time when the NFL emerged as America's favorite sport," the league said in a statement. "He will always be remembered as one of the most colorful characters in NFL history."
For all his prowess as a player, Karras may have gained more fame as an actor.
He had already become known through George Plimpson's behind-the-scenes book "Paper Lion: Confessions of a Last-String Quarterback," about what it was like to be an NFL player in Detroit.
Karras and Plimpton remained friends for life, and one of Karras' sons is named after the author. Karras played himself alongside Alan Alda in the successful movie adaptation of the book, and that opened doors for Karras to be an analyst with Howard Cosell and Frank Gifford on "Monday Night Football."
In Mel Brooks" Blazing Saddles, Karras played a not-so-bright, rough-around-the-edges outlaw who not only slugged a horse but also delivered the classic line: "Mongo only pawn in game of life."
In the 1980s, he played a sheriff in the comedy "Porky's" and became a hit on TV as Emmanuel Lewis' adoptive father, George Pap-
adapolis, in the sitcom "Webster."
"I had a very heavy heart this morning and I did not know why. I understand now." Lewis said. "Rest in peace, my friend."
Karras also had roles in "Against All Odds" and "Victor/Victoria." He portrayed the husband of famed female athlete "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias in the TV movie that starred Clark in the title role. The two later formed their own production company.
He also wrote an autobiography,
"Even Big Guys Cry" and two other
books, "Alex Karras" and "Tuesday
Night Football."
In addition to Clark, his wife of 37 years, he is survived by their daughter and his four children from his first marriage to the late Joan Powell.

THE MORNING BREW Notre Dame star playing through emotional pain
A long with being one of the best players in the country, Notre Dame senior linebacker Manti Teó is one inspiring person. Teó grew up a Mormon in Hawaii but decided to go play football at one of the nation's most prestigious universities, Notre Dame.
By Drew Harms
dharms@kansan.com
Last month tragedy struck for Teo. On Sept. 12, an early-morning phone call from his parents informed Teo that his grandmother had died. Six hours later, Teo found out he had also lost his longtime girlfriend Lennay to leukemia. Teo was heartbroken but remembered the promise he had made to Lennay about what he would do if anything happened to her, a promise that he would not miss a game.
Three days later, on Sept. 15, the Irish were set to play the No. 10 ranked Michigan State Spartans. Teó decided to play and led the Irish with 12 tackles as Notre Dame went on to upset the Spartans 20-3. The next week Teó went to Lennay's funeral on Sept. 22, and later that night he played in Notre Dame's game against the Michigan Wolverines. The Irish won 13-6 but struggled to score all game. The defense stepped up and forced Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson to throw four interceptions. And guess who had two of those interceptions? Teó.
Teo went out and played the best two games of his career within a week and a half of losing his grandmother and longtime girlfriend. This tragedy hit Teo hard emotionally, but it motivated him to perform better. Teo's courage on and off the field should be an inspiration to us all.
The Irish hold the toughest schedule in the country this year, and so far they are unbeaten with a 5-0 record. According to college football expert Todd McShay, Teo is currently ranked No. 6 overall in the Heisman race. The Irish hope that this season will be successful enough to establish them as one of the elite programs in college football once again. The Irish are currently ranked No. 7 and face the No. 17 ranked Stanford Cardinals this Saturday at home.
ROBERT GRIFFIN III NEEDS TO STAY HEALTHY FOR WASHINGTON TO SUCCEEED
There's no denying that the Washington
Redskins have received a much-needed spark so far this season from standout rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III running the show. But Griffin needs to start sliding more in order to have a long and successful NFL career. Last Sunday Griffin took a big hit from Atlanta Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon. Griffin didn't return to the game, and he was reported to have forgotten the score of the game and the team he was facing. Griffin was diagnosed with a mild concussion and released from the hospital later in the day.
Griffin stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 217 pounds. He isn't going to run over defenders; he's going to try to outrun them. Griffin is taller and weighs more than the oft-compared Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, but Griffin still has a lengthy build that is susceptible to injuries. We all know how injury-prone Vick is, but with Griffin being a better pocket passer, he is able to not rely on his legs as much as Vick does. He can instead focus on throwing the ball downfield.
KU
Also, Griffin's main role in the Redskins offense is to make plays through the air and hand the ball off to running back Alfred Morris. Other than a few designed bootlegs or quarterback draws, Griffin will be a pass-first quarterback most of the time. The only situations in which Griffin will likely run is if the receivers are
covered  down  field, and he has some room to pick up some yards with his legs.
When asked about Griffin, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan told USA Today, "I think with anybody, every game you want to learn from your experiences. The main thing with this is that he needs to know that he helps the team more if he gets up for the next play as our quarterback." Griffin practiced on Wednesday (mostly cardio), and his status is questionable for the Redskins' game Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

Youth coach strikes opposing player
SALT LAKE CITY — A youth football coach struck a 13-year-old player from an opposing team near the sideline during the fourth quarter of a tied game, giving the boy a concussion and outraging parents and spectators, a Utah
police sergeant said Wednesday.
Police arrested Nathan Harris for investigation of felony child abuse after watching grainy video and talking to witnesses about Saturday's incident in Payson, about 60 miles south of Salt Lake City.
"As the 13-year-old ran down,
Mr. Harris stepped and hit him with his forearm under his chin," police Sgt. Lance Smith said. "And then Mr. Harris stepped back and just stood there."
Referee David Durrant said the boy looked like he was about to go out of bounds — or had just gotten out of bounds — when he
was hit near the sideline of the visiting team.
"It looked like the coach had a lot of time to move, he didn't move, and he stood there and delivered a blow." Durrant said.
Durrant threw a penalty flag and ejected Harris.
The incident was an accident
and there was no malice behind Harris' actions, attorney Dean Zabriskie said. He said police have relied too heavily on witnesses who were standing far away and the video — which was shot from the opposite sidelines — shows Harris wasn't too close to the field and appears to show the coach
stepping backward as players came toward him.
Also, it looks like a player who was pursuing the 13-year-old had some contact that pushed the boy toward Harris, he said.
"It ites to me like a tempest in a teapot," Zabriskie said.

With only five matches left in regular season play, the Jayhawks need to continue to play their persistent, high-level style of play in order to come out victorious and round out the season on a high note.
The Jayhawks are coming off a draw against 12th-ranked Wake Forest last Sunday. The match extended into double overtime, becoming the second double-overtime game Kansas has played, and the fifth match Kansas has forced into extra minutes this season. The draw became Kansas' second on the season, bringing its record to 8-4-2.
Kansas started the match off quickly, using its speed to attack the goal. Offside penalties dominated the beginning of the match, however, forcing three of Kansas' opportunities to be called back. Wake Forest scored first off a penalty in the 16th minute, and Kansas trailed 0-1 at the half.
The Jayhawks battled back and played with persistent patience in the second half. Their patience was finally rewarded when junior forward Caroline Kastor used her speed to get past the defense and tap the ball into the net off a pass from senior midfielder Amy Grow.
The defensive unit for Kansas held for the rest of regulation and the extra periods, forcing the match to finalize at a 1-1 standstill. Senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau snagged three saves in the match, bringing her total to 19 on the season.
"I think we've come out every weekend, ready to play," senior forward Whitney Berry said. "The wins are gonna come, we've just got unlucky on some games."
Kansas remains on the road this weekend, traveling to Norman, Okla., this Friday before going down to Texas to finish off the week. The Oklahoma Sooners host Kansas after playing three games on the road themselves. The Sooners are 4-7-4 on the season, still searching for their first conference win. Kansas is 2-2-0 in conference play. In both losses, the Jayhawks only lost by one goal.
The Sooners are coming off a 4-1 loss to Virginia Tech. They haven't won a match since early September, though all of their victories this season have been on their home soil. In their last match against
Virginia State, five of their six shots were on goal while their goalkeeper made five saves. Though their record doesn't leave much room for boasting, Kansas cannot afford to overlook them.
"I've watched Oklahoma on tape and they're a really good team, better than their record shows," he said. "It'll be a good match."
Head coach Mark Francis said that写itting teams off isn't an issue with this group.
The Texas Longhorns are riding a five-game winning streak, currently holding
Kansas has plenty of offensive weapons to post against 'Texas' rookie goalkeeper. Two of its offensive powerhouses - freshman forward Ashley Williams and Kastor - have both received offensive honors this year. Both girls have played reliably this season, continually increasing their level of play throughout the year and never letting off. Kastor leads the team with nine
a record of 6-6-1 overall while remaining unbeaten in conference play. Kansas marks Texas' second-to-last home game of the season.
goals this year, and Williams follows close behind with seven. It will be up to these two, plus the rest of the offensive squad, to get past Smith.
Kansas is also strong both defensively and between the pipes. Kansas welcomed the return of senior defender Cassie Dickerson last week, where she became a brick wall that Wake Forest struggled to break past. Kansas' two goalkeepers — sophomore Kaitlyn Stroud and Liebetra
- have amassed 41 saves and three shutouts between them, making it difficult
opponents to score.
"We're playing really confident right now, so we just have continue that to win games," Francis said.
Kansas will face the Sooners at 7 p.m. on Friday before battling the Longhorns at 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

Texas gave up a season-high 48 points in its three-point loss to West Virginia at home last weekend. The Longhorns still scored a lot of points themselves. They face a challenge against Oklahoma as both teams are fighting to hang with the top of the Big 12.

It was a long bye week for the Sooners, who lost to Kansas State at home. The Sooners responded with a big win over Texas Tech on the road and have a chance to redeem themselves at home against another tough opponent in Texas.

5. Iowa State (4-1)
Iowa State took advantage of Casey Pachall's absence and beat TCU this past weekend. But the Cyclones did not impress as many people since TCU was without their top quarterback. If they want to prove their win over TCU was no fluke, they have the opportunity to show it this week when they host Kansas State.

Oklahoma State has a high-powered offense that can do some damage to its opponents. The Cowboys come into this week ranked fifth in passing and rushing and first in scoring. But that has not spelled perfection for them as they are 2-2 and still seeking their first conference win of the season.

Baylor had a week to think about its wild shootout loss to West Virginia. The Bears offense showed a lot against the Mountaineers, but it is the defense that could set them back and prevent them from being competitive in the Big 12.

Texas Tech was undefeated going into its fifth game. As bigger challenges came, the Cowboys ran into a road block. The team had no answer for Oklahoma and must respond soon when it hosts West Virginia this weekend.

Week 7 Big 12 Predictions
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN

OU
NO. 13 OKLAHOMA 3-1 (1-1) VS.
NO. 15 TEXAS 4-1 (1-1)
Oklahoma and Texas have suffered a loss in the Big 12 earlier this season. Following Saturday's match in Dallas, Texas, one of the two squads will fall to 1-2 in the conference and neither team will be content with that.
David Ash is having an impressive sophomore season for Texas. His top receiver has been Jaxon Shipley, who has 22 catches for 250 yards and four touchdowns on the year. Expect Ash to find Shipley against Oklahoma's defense. He will also try and spread the ball out a little bit more to other pass catchers. But Ash can also fall back to the running game. Joe Bergeron has played lights out in the last two games for the Longhorns, scoring six touchdowns in goal-line situations.
Oklahoma's offense can keep up with Texas in this game. Landry Jones has thrown for seven touchdowns and two interceptions this year. Jones only has one receiver who he consistently throws to in Kenny Stills. Stills leads all pass-catchers on the team in receptions, yards and touchdowns by a large margin. Damien Williams has played well this year, rushing for 341 yards and five touchdowns. But the Longhorns defense might be too much and that will put pressure on Jones and the Sooners passing game.
Texas hasn't played top-notch defense this year, but with the second turnover margin in the conference, that might slow down Oklahoma and allow Texas to find its way to victory.
WT
Toyne wine 22-17
NO. 5 WEST VIRGINIA 5-0 (2-0) VS. TEXAS TECH 4-1 (1-1)
West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith has played incredibly well this season, putting up 24 touchdowns on the year with no interceptions. Stedman Bailey has been his biggest target all year, but Smith has distributed the ball to all of his teammates on offense to find big numbers for the team.
Seth Doege has played well under center for Texas Tech this year. Even last week was the first time he did not throw a touchdown pass this season, he can rebound this week against a West Virginia defense with lots of holes. The Mountaineers allowed 108 points in the last two weeks.
But Texas Tech has not done a good job of securing the football this season, which means West Virginia may dodge some bullets and eventually collect a couple of takeaways to make a difference in this game.
West Virginia wins, 42-31
STATE
NO. 6 KANSAS STATE 5-0 (2-0) VS. IOWA STATE
4-1 (1-1)
But Iowa State can catch its opponents by surprise if the defense comes together. The only difference will be is that Iowa State has to do so against a tougher team. Iowa State's scoring offense is ninth in the Big 12. With Kansas State also one of the top scoring defensive teams in the Big 12, Iowa State may find trouble finding the end zone this Saturday.
Kansas State wins, 38-13
Kansas State was challenged early by Kansas last week, but found a way to overcome some hurdles and kept its composure. If Kansas State finds itself in the same predicament at halftime, coach Bill Snyder knows how to prepare his players for a better second half. The Wildcats top 10 rushing attack won't have any issues against the Cyclones.
Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein is making sure that his teammates don't take Iowa State lately. The Cyclones started their first five games with a 4-1 record.

TEXAS CHRISTIAN 4-1 (1-1) VS. BAYLOR 3-1 (0-1)
Baylor is ranked first in the nation in passing yards and second in points scored. Quarterback Nick Florence has thrown for 16 touchdowns on the year, which helped Baylor come into this week with tied second for most touchdown passes among all Big 12 teams. Florence has found three different players with at least three or more touchdown receptions.
TCU has to try to figure out how to get quarterback Trevone Boykin to play well and stay at the same pace as Baylor's offense. While receivers Brandon Carter and Josh Boyce have played well this season, it may be up to running backs Matthew Tucker and Waymun James to lead the offense, which is not ideal in a Big 12 matchup.
The Horned Frogs limitations will hurt them this week and in future games.
Most of the predictions would have gone in favor of Texas Christian. However, with the absence of quarterback Casey Pachall, either TCU's offense has to play mistake-free football or its defense must shut down Baylor. Both tasks are very challenging for coach Gary Patterson's team.

OFFENSE
Jayhawk fans who have been looking for Dayne Crist to improve can now point to his first half against Kansas State. Crist went 14 for 22, picking up 146 yards and a touchdown against the seventh best team in the country. But those who say there is no growth can point to his two completions in five tries during the second half of the same game. Fortunately, the backfield trio of James Sims, Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox is getting harder to stop. The backs have gained more than 200 yards in consecutive games after rushing for 77-yards against TCU.

DEFENSE
After having K-State score 59 points in each of their last two meetings with Kansas, the Jayhawks hold the Wildcats to 56 points — but that's not the improvement. Defensive coordinator Dave Campo has been slowly turning his squad into a competitive Big 12 defense — emphasis on slowly, but it's happening — and it shows. The Jayhawks have the 17th-ranked red-zone defense in the country. It's the big plays that's killing them.

MOMENTUM
The biggest issue for Kansas is that whenever it starts to create momentum, it almost always comes in the first half — and is almost always gone by the second. It's going to take a complete game effort to start turning the season around.
JACKSONVILLE
AT A GLANCE
Wins are obviously the only true measuring stick, but the Kansas football team is at a crossroads. There has been noticeable improvement every week. Yes, there are still kinks to work out, but this is not the same Kansas队 Jayhawk fans have watched for the last two years. If Kansas continues to enter games with the same intensity and confidence that has been present every game this season, the Jayhawks will continue to improve. If they give up, reference last season for results. Don't stop now, boys.
COACHING
After calling two special teams play fakes on the same drive, Weis has made his mentality clear: win by any means necessary. Weis has stated that he has a deep bag of tricks and is not afraid to use them. With some of Kansas' tougher games still ahead, Weis will have to get more creative than normal.
Weis
MI
PLAYER TO WATCH
Tony Pierson has been finding new and creative ways to get the ball. First it was in the backfield, then he started making some receptions and now he's become one of Weis' bigger offensive threats — if not the biggest. It'll be interesting to see how much Weis uses Pierson after he suffered an injury against K-State.
Pierson
SPECIAL TEAMS
Anyone want to be a kicker? Coach Charlie Weis has opened up the position, moving Ron Doherty down the depth chart and allowing Austin Barone to compete for Doherty's spot. If neither can get the job done Kansas fans may be in for a few more trick plays.
Football
QUESTION MARKS
Kansas has been great on defense at times, but the biggest concern is allowing big plays. Will the Jayhawks be able to limit Oklahoma State to shorter yardage plays? And if they can limit plays, how long will it take before the defense gets tired?
But the biggest question of all is whether Kansas can make sure the team isn't mentioned alongside Savannah State for the rest of the Cowboys' season.

BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
Kansas can stay competitive all four quarters. There aren't many who are expecting Kansas to pull this one out, but hanging with a powerful offense for the duration will send a message to the rest of the Big 12.

DEFENSE
Kansas has been great at running the football. It's been their biggest strength with Tony Pierson, Taylor Cox and James Sims in the backfield. However, those running backs could struggle against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have the best 36th ranked rushing defense in the nation, and the Jayhawks may not be able to run the ball as well as they'd like to. Linebacker Alex Elkins averaged six sacks per game coming into this week and will lead the Cowboys 4-3 base defense on Saturday.

MOMENTUM
MOMENTUM
Oklahoma State has relied on its high-scoring offense to win games this season. Despite being the best in that category, it has not translated into a win every time. Kansas scored 31 points in its first game of the season when it defeated South Dakota State. But during its four game losing streak, Kansas has scored 17.3 points per game. Meanwhile, the fewest points Oklahoma State has scored this season was 36 points. The point differential favors the Cowboys in this contest.
23
AT A GLANCE
Oklahoma State, even with a new quarterback under center, has done a good job of scoring this season. However, the defense has not played as well. With inconsistency being an issue for the Cowboys, it doesn't come off as a surprise that after four games this year, they are at the .500 mark this season.
COACHING
Mike Gundy knows Oklahoma State just about as well as anybody. He graduated from Oklahoma State after playing quarterback for the Cowboys from 1986 to 1989. From 1990 to 1955 and from 2001 to 2004, Gundy served as an assistant coach for the Cowboys. He spent a little bit of time with Baylor and Maryland before returning to Oklahoma State for a second stint and accepted a role as the offensive coordinator before being promoted to head coach in 2005.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Running back Joseph Randle has rushed for 534 yards and six touchdowns off 75 carries. With how well Kansas State was able to run against Kansas, Randle has an opportunity to do the same thing against the Jayhawks. Oklahoma State's passing game has been great this season, but its rushing game can get its fair share of attention this weekend.

Kicker Quinn Sharp has seen a lot of action this year. He's only made seven field goals out of nine tries, but he's made 28 extra point attempts, giving him 49 points on the season. Justin Gilbert has handled most of the kick return duties for the Cowboys this year. Off 10 returns, Gilbert has gained 304 yards. Kansas has allowed a couple of big returns, but none for touchdowns. Gilbert may come up with one big回回 to try and put the offense in good position on the field.
QUESTION MARKS
Will Wes Lunt return for Oklahoma State this Saturday?
Wes Lunt suffered a knee injury on Sept. 15 in the win over Louisiana-Lafayette. Since then, redshirt freshman J.W. Walsh has filled in. But Lunt could soon be back for the Cowboys and give them a little boost against Kansas. However, coach Mike Gundy said nothing is for sure yet.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ...
Oklahoma State finds a way to top Kansas State's 56 points. Kansas gave up a season high 56 points last week. With Oklahoma State leading the nation in scoring, Kansas must do everything it can to not only prevent a blowout but to find and find a way to win.

Guard Monica Engelman prepares to move in front of her opponent to block her from getting to the basket against Oklahoma State.
SENIOR GUARD
MONICA ENGELMAN:
Engelman has been working to improve every aspect of her game: shooting, handling and defense. She said her shooting is what she takes pride in most. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said that Engelman was not playing like herself during parts of last season.
.
This year Henrickson said that Engelman is back to playing like herself once again. Engelman said the goal for the team is to be the best it can be and have another run in the tournament. The Sweet 16 run last year definitely gave her confidence, she said, but also showed her and the team what they need to work on.
What she learned from last year's tournament is that anything can happen, and if you push through adversity, good things will happen. If anything, she said, last year taught the players that they are able to attain that success, and they need to work as hard or harder this season.

Guard Angel Goodrich defends Texas &AAM freshman guard Alexia Standish during the first half of the game of the Big 12 Tournament.
SENIOR GUARD ANGEL GOODRICH:
Goodrich and the layhawks are hoping for bigger crowds this year after the success of last season. "I feel like we've grown so much and I just hope more people come support us," Goodrich said. "We're working hard every day to get better, hopefully we come out to where we don't have to worry about leaving it in the hands of the committee."
Goodrich said the watch lists and awards are something she doesn't think about much. "I just want to be me, go out there and play, be there for my team and just continue to do what I need to do to help us get a win," she said.
Henrickson compared Goodrich's game to Chris Paul's and Goodrich said she loves the way Chris Paul plays. "It's great to be compared to someone like Chris Paul," Goodrich said. Goodrich did not know what else to say about the comparison but said that she has always tried to make her teammates look good, and she will do whatever it takes to get her team to win.
The expectations are high based on what happened last year, Goodrich said, and they do not want to lower their expectations at all. "It's just amazing how much I've seen how we've grown as a team, as a program," Goodrich said. "And it's a great feeling to be here and see how different it is than what it used to be and I'm glad to be a part of it."

SOPHOMORE FORWARD
CHELSEA GARDNER:
Gardner said that this team is coming back and working hard, just as they did last season. The tournament run has not changed how they have prepared.
Gardner said working hard in the post, getting rebounds and going back up are the aspects that Gardner thinks she brings to the team.
Henrickson said that Gardner can play on the court with Carolyn Davis because Chelsea can score facing the basket and Carolyn can score.
Davis is doing as much as she can on her knee right now after the ACL surgery last year. She says there are doubts before you get back on the court of whether you can be the same player you were before, but the drills and getting up and down the court have made her feel confident that she will be the same player.
What bothers Davis more than the knee is the panicked feeling she gets about thinking about going out into the real world and already being a senior. It drives Carolyn to be able to experience the NCAA tournament on the court rather than watching from the bench she said. She was glad to watch her team make that run last season, but she said a selfish part of her thought about how much she wanted to be out there.

Williams said the team knows that the expectations of this year's team are higher and that they will live up to those expectations.

WASHINGTON — Chris Carpenter was every bit the postseason ace he's been in the past for the St. Louis Cardinals.
St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Carlos Beltran catches a fly ball that was hit by Washington Nationals' Jayson Werth in the third inning of Game 3 of the National League division baseball series on Wednesday in Washington.
taking the mound for only the fourth time in 2012, missing a rib after surgery to cure numbness on his right side, the 37-year-old Carpenter pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning, rookie Pete Kozma delivered a three-run homer, and the defending champion Cardinals beat the Washington Nationals 8-0 Wednesday to take a 2-1 lead in their NL division series.
"If the baseball world doesn't know what an amazing competitor he is by now, they haven't been paying any attention," Carpenter's teammate Matt Holliday said. "Every guy on this team has watched him work his way back, watches him in between starts. He's a stud, just a guy that you want out there."

All in all, it was quite a damper on the day for a Nationals Parkrecord 45,017 red-wearing, toweltwirling fans witnessing the first major league postseason game in the nation's capital in 79 years.
Three relievers finished the shutout for the Cardinals, who can end the best-of-five series in Thursday's Game 4 at Washington.
"We're not out of this, by a long shot," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "Shoot, I've had my back to worse walls than this."
Kyle Lohse will start for St. Louis. Ross Detwiler pitches for Washington, which is sticking to its long-stated plan of keeping Stephen Strasburg on the sideline the rest of the way.
The Cardinals won 10 fewer games than the majors-best Nationals this season and finished second in the NL Central, nine games behind Cincinnati, sneaking into the postseason as the league's second wild-card under this year's new format. But the Cardinals become a different bunch in the high-pressure playoffs — no matter that slugger Albert Pujols and manager Tony La Russa are no longer
around.
Carpenter still is, even though even he didn't expect to be pitching this year when he encountered problems during spring training and needed an operation in July to correct a nerve problem. The top rib on his right side was removed, along with connecting muscles.
He returned Sept. 21, going 0-2 in three starts totalling 17 innings, so it wasn't clear how hed fare Wednesday.
Yeah,right.
"I'm not going to go out there and compete," Carpenter said, "if I'm not good enough to compete."
Similarly, neither club could be
Carpenter allowed seven hits and walked two across his 5 2-3 innings to improve to 10-2 over his career in the postseason. That includes a 4-0 mark while helping another group of wild-card Cardinals take the title in the 2011 World Series, when he won Game 7 against Texas.
sure which Edwin Jackson would show up for NL East champion Washington, a year after he was part of the Cardinals' championship team: The one who struck out 10 and allowed one uneared run in eight innings against St. Louis on Aug. 30, or the one who lasted only 11-3 innings in a loss to the Cardinals on Sept. 28.
"Carp's been a dominant pitcher his whole career. Big-game pitcher. He showed up." Washington's Jayson Werth said. "He pitched well today. We had him in some spots. We had him on the ropes a couple of times. We were just one bloop away from a totally different ballgame."
"I didn't feel like I was out of rhythm. I didn't feel like I couldn't throw strikes. I just missed across
With the exception of Ian Desmond — 3 for 4 on Wednesday, 7 for 12 in the series — the Nationals' hitters are struggling mightily. They've scored a total of seven runs in the playoffs and went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position and left 11 men on base in Game 3.
Rookie phenom Bryce Harper's woes, in particular, stand out. He went 0 for 5, dropping to 1 for 15. He went to the plate with an ash bat and no gloves in the first inning, tried wearing anti-glare tinted contact lenses on a sun-splashed afternoon — nothing helped.
Carpenter was pretty good with a bat in his hands, too, collecting a pair of hits, including a double off the wall that was about a foot or two away from being a homer. When he reached second base, he raised his right fist.
Much closer to the second version, it turned out, although he did recover from a rough start to retire eight of his last 10 batters Wednesday.
Still, Jackson was done after five innings and four runs.
the plate with a couple of balls and it cost me?" Jackson said.
The Cardinals tacked on four runs off relievers Craig Stammen, Christian Garcia and Ryan Matthew.
Not since the original Senators lost to the New York Giants in the 1933 World Series had big league baseball stretched past the regular season in Washington. Back then, of course, there was no MLB Network in HD to carry a game the way there was Wednesday; indeed, television itself was in its infancy, period. And spectators in attendance way back then could not enjoy a beer at the ballpark, because prohibition wasn't repealed until a couple of months later.
With the Capitol Dome rising beyond left field, the crowd of today was ready to root, root, root for the home team, breaking into chants of "Let's go, Nats!" after player introductions and again after a four-jet flyover. And, boy, did they boo — when Cardinals outfielder John Jay was announced as the game's first batter, when catcher Yadier Molina trotted to chat with Carpenter, even when Carpenter paused between pitches to tie his red-and-gray right shoe.
Most of all, they booed when Washington's Danny Espinosa was ruled out at first after bunting in the second. TV replays showed that Espinosa did beat third baseman David Freese's throw, but the call
was missed by Jim Joyce — an umpire best known for blowing a call at first base to ruin Detroit pitcher Armando Galarraga's bid for a perfect game in 2010.
Earlier, those boos were directed at Jackson.
The Cardinals opened the second inning with four consecutive hits, the biggest being Kozma's first-itchomer into the first row in left off a 94 mph fastball to make it 4-0. Kozma took over as the Cardinals' everyday shortstop in September, replacing injured All-Star Rafael Furcal, and only had 72 at-bats during the regular season.
But he's only the latest in a series of "Who's that?" stars of this post-season.

Giants beat up on Reds, Lincecum a factor
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI — Angel Pagan connects on the second pitch of the game. A Giants team that finished last in homers goes on to hit three. Tim Lincecum pitches like a two-time Cy Young winner — this time, out of the bullpen.
So many unusual things moved San Francisco to the verge of an unprecedented comeback.
Pagan hit the first leadoff homer in Giants postseason history, and Gregor Blanco and Pablo Sandoval connected later for an 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday that evened their NL division series at 2-all.
No team has recovered from a
2-0 deficit in a best-of-five series by winning three on the road, according to STATS LLC. This one can do it with a victory on Thursday at Great American Ball Park.
"Thanks to the win today, there will be a tomorrow," Pagan said. "And we are ready for that."
Matt Cain, who lost the series opener and has yet to beat the Reds in three tries this season, will start Game 5 against Mat Latos.
Facing elimination, the Giants' slumping hitters came out swinging and extended Cincinnati's playoff misery. The Reds haven't won a postseason game at home in 17 years.
One thing in the Reds' favor — they haven't dropped three straight at home all season.
"I'd like to think that we still have the advantage," Reds outfielder Jay Bruce said. "We're at home. I expect Mat to come up with a big game. I'm looking forward to it."
So are the Giants, who were down after losing the first two games at home while getting outscored 14-2. They were barely able to get a hit, let alone a win.
The pressure pulled them closer. Hunter Pence gathered them for inspirational speeches before the two games in Cincinnati, challenging them to play like champions.
"We feel good," NL batting champion Buster Posey said. "When you're down 0-2 you see what you're made of. We're not done."
It wasn't all about the offense. San Francisco's overlooked Cy Young
winner played a starring role, too.
Linceum was relegated to the bullpen for the playoff series because of his dreary season — 15 losses, 17 wild pitches. He entered in the fourth inning, pitched out of a threat that kept the Giants up 3-2, and kept going. The right-hander struck out six while allowing just one run in 4 1-3 innings.
"I knew he would play a huge role in this," manager Bruce Bochy said. "And I know of other situations where starters have been in the 'pen and really done a great job to help their team win. We knew Timmy would play a critical role in the series like he did tonight."
The way the Giants have started hitting, that's now in doubt.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Leake reaches down on the mound as San Francisco Giants' Angel Pagan, rear, rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run in the first inning of Game 4 of the National League division baseball series Wednesday in Cincinnati.
Reds regroup after losing third game to San Fransico
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI — Cincinnati's ace is out of action. His replacement let the Reds down on Wednesday. Now, they are turning to Mat Latos — their biggest offseason addition — to avoid an unprecedented playoff meltdown.
The Reds saw the 2-0 lead they built in San Francisco evaporate as the Giants pounced on emergency starter Mike Leake for five runs in four-plus innings on the way to an 8-3 win that tied their best-of-five National League Division Series, 2-2.
Cincinnati now pins its hopes on Latos in Thursday's decisive Game 5. Latos, helping out after starter Johnny Cueto suffered a strained muscle in his right side one out into Game 1 of the series Saturday, pitched four effective relief innings in the Reds' 5-2 win at San Francisco.
"It's another game." Latos said. "It's a team that I'm comfortable with — a team that I've faced before. I'm just looking at it as another start. I've just got to go out there and pitch my game."
Right fielder Jay Bruce believes the Reds still have an edge in the series, even after two straight losses.
"All you can ask for is an opportunity," said Bruce, who went 0-for-3 on Wednesday. "We control our destiny. We feel like their backs are against the wall. This isn't their home field."
Rookie third baseman Todd Frazier echoed Bruce.
"We've just got to keep thinking we're still ahead," he said. "We know what we're capable of and know what we can do. They've got a little momentum, but we're at home, and the fans aere going to be behind us 100 percent."
The Reds hoped to bring Cueto — their leading winner at 19-9 in the regular season — back for Wednesday's game. Instead, they were forced to scratch him and replace him on the roster with Lease less than five hours before Wednesday's game. Angel Pagan hit Leake's second pitch for a home run and Gregor Blanco added a two-run shot in the second inning to give San Francisco the lead for good.
The Reds hoped to bring Cueto
Leake, making his post-season debut, allowed six hits and five runs with two walks and one strikeout in 4 1-3 innings.
"It felt like there were more fans, but it was still another game," he said about his first postseason appearance. "I would like to have done a little better. They were putting good swings on the ball, but it was mainly me missing spots and them taking advantage."
Latos, acquired last December from San Diego for four players, lost his first two decisions with Cincinnati before beating the Giants, 9-2, on April 24. He already had a history of acrimony with Giants fans dating back to 2010, when the Giants eliminated the Padres from contention and he responded by signing three baseballs for an off-season charity function and adding "I hate S.F." to his autograph.
Latos is the man the Reds want on the mound, manager Dusty Baker said.
"2012 was in 2010." Latos said.
"2012 is a little different. It's two years ago."
"You wish you had Johnny Cueto, but you don't," Baker said. "Right now, it's Mat's turn, and he's strong. He's on his regular turn, unlike his last time out."
The Reds haven't lost three straight games all season at Great American Ball Park, but they've lost five straight post-season games in Cincinnati since beating Los Angeles, 10-1, to clinch a 1995 NLDS.

Yankees outlast Orioles
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Raul Ibanez lined a ninth-inning home run while pinch hitting for slumping Alex Rodriguez, then hit a lead-off homer in the 12th, giving the New York Yankees a stunning 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night for a 2-1 lead in their AL division series.
Phil Hughes will start for the Yankees on Thursday night in Game 4 of the best-of-five series. Chris Tillman or Joe Saunders will start for Baltimore.
Batting for baseball's highestpaid player, Ibanez homered to right-center with one out in the ninth inning off major league saves leader Jim Johnson to tie it at 2. He then hit the first pitch from Brian Matusz leading off the 12th.
Baltimore had won 16 straight extra-inning games, and had been

bration in what had been a demoralized Yankee Stadium crowd. Rodriguez led the cheers, raising an arm in the dugout and high-fiving injured star Mariano Rivera.

The Orioles won Game 2 and rode Miguel Gonzalez's pretty performance to a 2-1 lead in the ninth.
"It was a great experience. We do it as a team. We stay after it," ibanez said. "I'm blessed to come up and have the opportunity like that. We do it together, it's about a team and about winning."
But The Yankees limited Baltimore to one hit after Machado's homer in the fifth.
— the first time A-Rod had ever been pinch-hit for in a postseason game, according to STATS LLC.
Ibanez got that chance after Yankees manager Joe Girardi made the decision to bat for Rodriguez
"You're going to be asked a lot of questions if it doesn't work," Girardi said.
Rodriguez has 647 career home runs — he's chasing the all-time record of 762 by Barry Bonds — but was just 1 for 12 with no RBIs and seven strikeouts in this series when Girardi pulled him.
76-0 when leading after seven, before the Yankees stung them.
Robert Andino was doubled off second after leading off the ninth with a single and advancing on a sacrifice.
Closer Rafael Soriano pitched 1 1-3 innings and David Robertson went two, finishing off his outing by bumping into and tagging Andino to end the top of the 12th.
But Ibanez hit a 1-0 pitch into the seats, setting off a raucous cecle
Derek Jeter tied the score with an RBI triple in the third for the Yankees.

SPIDER INFESTATION

Last year's mild winter means an influx of spiders in Lawrence homes
VIKAAS SHANKER
vshanker@kansan.com
She had been bitten.
Lauryn Reinhart was sitting on a couch in her living room on Sept. 30 when she felt a slight touch on her elbow. She didn't see anything on her, but when she glanced at the couch, she saw a spider larger than a quarter with very long legs.
Reinhart, a senior from Parkville, Mo., killed the spider with the conventional shoe method, but afterward she noticed a rash started to develop on her elbow, similar to a bee sting.
"It was grazed and it was red," Reinhart said. "It was kind of itchy, but it went away the day after."
From the description of the crawler and the symptoms of the bite, Reinhart most likely encountered a brown recluse spider. And she's not alone, as local pest management companies have seen a boost in brown recluse calls this summer and fall, primarily due to the mild winter.
"No winter means bugs survived," said Joanie Haley, office manager for Haley Pest Control located at 1035 E. 23rd St. "An abundance of bugs means spiders eat. We're really seeing a
lot of the brown recluse. If you get bitten, then they can cause serious damage to the skin."
While the venom is a brown recluse spider's tool for liquefying prey and eating, the Center of Disease Control and Prevention says it can cause severe lesions in humans, a condition called skin necrosis. On some people, it can be as benign as a bee sting. But for others, it may cause serious scarring and even nausea, vomiting and a fever.
APARTMENT INFESTATION
Bioengineering graduate student Vidyashankara lyer was also bitten by a spider while he was working on a project.
"Suddenly, I see a spider running across my hand," Iyer said. "It did bite me, but I don't think I developed anything. Maybe it wasn't a poisonous spider."
Iyer, a student from Bangalore, India, has noticed many spiders walking across his apartment this summer. He said he's never seen spiders in his living space in the six years he's been in Lawrence until this year.
"They're never active, but now they are," Iyer said. "We try to keep it clean, but we do have a lot of spiders. Probably because we live on the corner and near a forest."
Vanja Mehmedovic, a pest control technician for Haley Pest Control, said that in addition to the mild winter, a very hot summer is leading to more brown recluse sightings and calls.
"The hotter it is, the more active they get," Mehmedovic said. "People notice because they're crawling in the open

How to identify a brown recluse spider
LONG AND SLOW
While brown recluses have a wide variety of sizes, all have longer legs than most spiders. Unless physically touched, they move slowly "like they own the place," said Vanja Mehmedovic, a pest control technician for Haley Pest Control.
LONGING FOR THE FOREST
UNIQUE MARKINGS
A brown recluse has a violin or bell-shaped marking on the front of its body. Also, unlike most spiders, it has three sets of two eyes, not one set of eight.
To a brown recluse, newspaper and cardboard are like the rough texture of tree bark. Dark crevices in attics and basements look like the home of prey. Quiet, undisturbed rooms of a house means no predators, so it's free to crawl. Brown recluses can be found here.
LOUSY WEBMAKERS
DANGERDUS BI
The bachelor pad of the arachnid world belongs to the brown recluse. It's web is cloudy and unorganized, and is often mistaken for an expired cobweb. If you find one of these, a brown recluse could be very close.
DANGEROUS BITE
If bitten you could see discoloration of your skin. Not only is a brown recluse bite venomous, it's very quick. If a brown recluse lands on you, don't try to swat it with your hand. "It will get you before you get it," Mehmedovic said. No matter what you do to shake the spider off, don't use your hands.

University submits request to demolish McCollum Hall
nwentling@kansan.com
NIKKI WENTLING
McCollum is a ten-story, three- reewing hall with the capacity to house 910 students. According to the Oct. 17 Kansas Board of Regents meeting agenda, the University plans to build two new residence halls, each five floors with the capacity to house 350 students. If approved, one will be built west of Hashinger Hall and the other west of Lewis
McCollum Hall, the 47-year-old residence hall that is known to some students as "McCompton" or "Big Mac", may soon meet its end.
The University submitted a request to the Kansas Board of Regents to demolish the building and build two new residence halls on Daisy Hill. The board will consider this request Wednesday.
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
"Even though McCollum has been well-maintained over the years, the space needs for the new housing model do not fit efficiently within the form of the building, so renovation is not an option," the University's memo to the board read.
After the two halls are completed, McCollum will be demolished and the space will be converted into a parking lot.
Though Addy Adewale, a sophomore from St. Louis, has experienced some problems living in McCollum, she hopes the University's request is denied. This is Adewale's second year living in the hall. She dealt with broken showers and air

conditioners, but she said she has "learned to deal with it."
"I'm a little upset," Adewale said.
"I know McCollum is not the greatest, but there are a lot of memories there. I wish they could come up with some other solution that doesn't involve tearing it down."
HOTEL MARSHAL
The memo said the estimated cost of the project is $47.8 million, which would be funded with revenue bonds issued by the Kansas Development Finance Authority. Revenue from the housing and parking systems would be used to fund the debt service, and housing would fund future maintenance and operating costs on the two new halls.
The project would be an amendment to the University's fiscal year 2014 Capital Improvements. This fiscal year begins in June 2013.
McCollum residence hall may be torn down by the University to build a parking lot. Two new residence halls will be built in its place, and there will also be more space for parking.
Alicia Croci, a freshman from Ottawa and a McCollum resident, said she thinks the project would be a misuse of funds.
"Demolishing it is really a waste of money," Croci said. "If they want to spend the money, they should renovate it. They could get a new paint job and update the tiles and furniture."
To Croci, McCollum has become a home. It is also the first building she sees on the drive back to Lawrence after visiting her hometown.
—Erited by Brittney Haynes
"Even before I was a KU student, that would be my favorite thing to see," Croci said. "I love entering the city limits with friends and pointing to it, saying, 'See that tall building in the distance? That's my home! It's a nice feeling. I would be very sad to see McCollum go."

Race tightens in final few weeks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla — It's either candidate's race to win as President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney prepare for their second debate Tuesday night, with just three weeks to go until the election and voting well under way in many states.
The Republican challenger had trailed the Democratic incumbent in national polls for weeks, but now has drawn even, benefiting from a boost of enthusiasm following a strong first debate performance 10 days ago. While Romney's standing has improved in some states, Obama retains an edge in the hunt for the 270 electoral votes needed to take the White House. The president also has far more ways than Romney to reach that magic number.
"The race is tightening," said Mo Elleithee, a Democratic campaign strategist and former aide
to Hillary Rodham Clinton during her primary campaign against Obama in 2008. "It will be very, very close." But, he added, "The president will win re-election."
Steve Schmidt, the chief Republican strategist four years ago for GOP nominee John McCain, acknowledged Obama's edge but said it could be erased if the president comes off as defensive or dismissive in the second debate as he did in the first. "If he has another debate performance anywhere near that vicinity, it's going to go south for him," Schmidt said.
As the debate looms large as one of the final opportunities to affect the trajectory of the race, both campaigns are working feverishly in the nine most competitive states — Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin — to get their core supporters to vote early and persuade undecided voters to back their candidate.

In the aftermath of Romney's debate performance, Republicans have grown more enthusiastic, which is a critical development in the homestretch. A Pew Research Center poll last week found energy levels even for the first time, with 68 percent of registered voters who say they back Obama strongly supporting him and 67 percent of Romney voters strongly behind him.

EDINBURGH, Scotland — It's not a meeting David Cameron is likely to enjoy.
The British prime minister is due to visit the leader of Scotland's separatist administration on Monday to agree the terms of a referendum that could break up the United Kingdom — the country Cameron leads.
Scotland to vote to leave UK

Cameron does not want to be the leader who presides over the demise of the 300-year-old political union between England and its northern neighbor. But, practically, there is little he can do to stop politicians in semiautonomous Scotland asking voters whether they want to break free.
With Scotland, like much of Europe, facing recession and economic uncertainty, the answer is hard to predict.

SOUTH AMERICA Survivors play rugby match 40 years later ASSOCIATED PRESS
'SANTIAGO, Chile — Surviving members of an Uruguayan rugby team have played a match postponed four decades ago when their plane crashed in the Andes, stranding them for 72 days in the cordillera and forcing them
to eat human flesh to stay alive.
The Old Christians Club squared off Saturday in Santiago in a game that was tied 1-1 against the Old Grangonian Club, the former Chilean rugby team they were supposed to play back when their flight went down. Their terrifying story became the basis of a best-selling book and a Hollywood movie.
During the anniversary ceremony, military jets flew over the field, where parachutists draped in Chilean and Uruguayan flags landed. In a corner, survivors wept when officials unveiled a commemorative frame with pictures of those who died in the snowy peaks.
"At about this time we were falling in the Andes. Today, we're here to win a game," crash survivor Pedro Algora,
EUROPE British Royal Marines face death charge ASSOCIATED PRESS
61, said as he prepared to walk onto the playing field surrounded by the jagged mountains that trapped the group.
LONDON — Five Royal Marines have been charged with murder over a death in Afghanistan last year. Britain's Ministry of Defense said Sunday. They are the first British troops to be charged with murder in the country since deployments began in 2001.
The five are among nine marines arrested — seven on Thursday and two in the last 48 hours. Four have been released without charge.
Officials have said the incident involved an "engagement with an insurgent" in Helmand province, where the majority of Britain's 9,500 troops in Afghanistan are deployed. They say no civilians were involved.
The BBC and other outlets reported that the arrests stemmed from video footage found on the laptop of a British serviceman who had been arrested in Britain on an unrelated charge.
The Ministry of Defense said the cases had been referred to the Service Prosecuting Authority, which oversees
military trials. The ministry said the suspects, who have not been named, were in custody.
The brigade believed to be involved in the incident, 3 Commando, was in the thick of the fighting with Taliban insurgents during its deployment last year to Helmand.
Even though the incident does not involve a civilian, the case could cause a backlash from Afghans and further erode efforts to provide political stability to Afghanistan.

Pakistani Christians pray for the recovery of 14-year-old schoolgirl Malala Yousufzai, who was shot last Tuesday by a Taliban gunman for speaking out.
KARACHI, Pakistan — Tens of thousands rallied in Pakistan's largest city Sunday in support of a 14-year-old girl who was shot and critically wounded by the Taliban for promoting girls' education and criticizing the militant group.
The demonstration in the southern city of Karachi was by far the largest since Malala Yousufzai and two of her classmates were shot on Oct. 9 while returning home from school in Pakistan's northwest.

Demonstrations in support of Yousufzai — and against rampant militant violence in the country in general — have also been fairly small compared with those focused on issues such as U.S. drone attacks
The attack horrified people inside and outside Pakistan and sparked hope among some that it would prompt the government to intensify its fight against the Taliban and their allies.
But protests against the shooting have been relatively small until now, usually attracting no more than a few hundred people. That response pales in comparison to the tens of thousands of people who held violent protests in Pakistan last month against a film produced

AVENGERS
"The Aveniers" is the third highest grossing film of all time. The sequel to the movie is slated to come out in May 2015.
'Avengers' spurs spin-offs
How do you top the ultimate superhero movie?
Marvel Studios must confront after the Hulk-smash success of Joss Whedon's extravaganza "The Avengers," which currently stands as the third highest-grossing film of all time without adjusting for inflation.
The movie's $1.5 billion haul was enough to convince Marvel executives to move ahead with Phase Two, a massive rollout masterminded by Whedon and studio head Kevin Feige. This next round will span the next three years. There will be five additional movies and a S.H.E.L.D. television series, all leading up to May 1, 2015 — the release of Whedon's untitled "Avengers" sequel.
Phase Two promises a fusion of new and returning franchises, kicking off with next summer's "Iron Man 3", which finds goated technocrat Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) squaring off against two villains: Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) and Iron Man's arch-nehemis and rehabilitated racial stereotype the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), whose mystical powers mark a welcome departure from Stark's standard man-in-suit foes.
Director Shane Black, who helped resuscitate Downey's career with the 2005 noir comedy "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," is replacing series helmsman Jon Favreau, although Favreau will still appear as Stark's avuncular bodyguard Happy Hogan. The film, rumored to be an adaptation of Warren Ellis' acclaimed "Extremis" storyline from the comics, may also support Downey's "Avengers" co-star Mark Ruffalo and his fan-favorite take on the Incredible Hulk.
Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans) are

also slated for further solo adventures. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" involves the sudden reemergence of Cap's embittered exsidekick Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), who became a brainwashed Soviet assassin after seemingly dying in the first movie. I guess he's been cryogenically frozen too, unless "Winter Soldier" refers to a militant uprising at a nursing home.
The towheaded God of Thunder returns in 2014's "Thor: The Dark World," directed by "Game of Thrones" regular Chris Taylor. Unlike the first film, which remained largely earthbound, "The Dark World" reportedly boasts a cosmic scope, meaning we'll probably see more of the Nine Realms, only hinted at in Kenneth Branagh's well-cast but underwhelming original.
If all these sequels sound like more of the same, fear not. Marvel is also gambling with two original properties: "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Ant-Man". James Gunn, the pope of perversity responsible for the bawdy horror comedy "Slither", has been tapped to direct "Guardians", based on a lesser-known Marvel comic featuring a team of interstell-
Loki (Tom Hiddleston) will also be back, albeit in a smaller role. This news is disappointing, since Hiddleston's conflicted take on the God of Mischief has been the series' most interesting aspect.
lar superheroes, including a gun-toting, anthropomorphic critter named Rocket Raccoon. Amazingly, Gunn's movie is being geared toward younger audiences. Thanos, the grinning blue-eyed badie glimpsed halfway through the end credits of "The Avengers", is said to figure prominently here.
Edgar Wright, the geeky guru behind "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," has been adamant about making "Ant-Man" for years. Now, following the rapturous reception of test footage screened at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, he's finally getting his chance. His movie follows the exploits of Henry Pym, a brilliant scientist who discovers to drastically alter his size at will. I'm sure the porn industry is already busy green-lighting a parody.
The success of Phase Two depends on mainstream audiences and their willingness to embrace individual superhero movies after the warm group-hug that was "The Avengers". Will viewers feel cheated knowing they're only seeing part of the team in action? Whedon and Feige are hoping to counteract this by having every new film contain a cameo from S.H.I.E.L.D. head honcho Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and at least one other Avenger.
The Marvel universe is constantly expanding. This decision will hopefully allow Whedon to hint at an overarching storyline designed to keep even casual viewers invested until the Avengers reassemble in 2015. As for the faithful, I'm sure they're already marking their calendars. For comic book nerds like me, the next three years have all the makings of a four-color feast.

Came in to start getting ready for Late Night, and the basketball team had stolen my tricycle. And they say Big Jay and I are the immature ones.
If I ever become homeless, I would move a mattress into one of the the Budig stalls with a sink in it.
is it sad that one of my career goals is to get a hot rating on ratemyprofessor.com?
That awkward moment when you realize that the people on "Jerry Springer" are all very close to the same age as you are.
Don't forget the football players are fellow Jayhawk students. They need our support.
If you really think about it, super strength is only practical against other super heroes.
Baby Jay was decapitated!
Let's get wet with Weis!
Wait. Where has Cummings been this whole time?
I, for one, am proud of our football team. They showed improvement and never gave up. Well done boys, well done!
She said I looked like a Cyclops, I clearly have two eyes. Four if you are counting my glasses.
"Withey, can I have your babies?" said every girl on campus.

I had such a good night that I forgot
I wasn't able to go to Late Night... until
all the pictures on Facebook reminded
me what I was missing. Repeatedly.
At least we have as many conference wins as Mizzou.
Just saw the girl dressed up as Slender Man. Oh my fricking gosh. Not in the rain.
I wonder if Bill Self looked at his son when he was born and said, "I see my self in this kid."
Everyone leaving Late Night early sucks.
I thought to myself, "I wonder if they close the engineering computer lab at this hour." Good joke, self.
Hey! We're not K-State! We don't boo the other team's band!
Bassnectar concert thrills audience
As a 27-year-old music enthusiast, you could say that I've been to my fair share of shows throughout my lifetime. I've been to Lollapalooza where the likes of Incubus and Audioless were on display, seen 311 more times than I can count and have even ventured to an Andre Nickatina show in Scottsdale, Ariz.
As enthralling as each of these shows was to me, it shocks me to my deepest core that I had to wait until Oct. 5, 2012 to experience the best live show of my entire life. Dubstep DJ icon Bassnectar (Lorin Ashton) put on a performance that was worthy of the often-oversused term "epic."
Cold temperatures — it dropped to as low as 29 degrees at one point — couldn't stop the warm and embracing vibe that Bassnecter provided for the
2,000-plus fans in attendance. By the time a group of friends and myself had squeezed our way to the front-left side of the stage, the cold weather was rendered irrelevant due to the tightly-constructed circle of jumping-and-bumping human bodies. With each wobble of Bassnectar's bass came screams of delight from an enthusiastic and engaged crowd. Rarely do you see a mass of people contort their bodies to the flow of live songs like they did that Friday night.
Then, there were the lights. The giant screen behind Ashton displayed vibrant colors and an artistically crafted series of graphics for each song played. YouTube videos of the show won't do it justice. Bassnectar made damn sure that those lucky enough to be in attendance were

treated to a visually-enlivening spectacle that warranted the many "awesome" spotted out by the crowd as if the word was going out of style. The lasers used maintained the intense vibe going throughout some of the longer tracks, and the addition of the graphics screen made the crowd light up like a Christmas tree.
high-octane beats. This you really have to see for yourself $ ^{1 2} $
The one phase of Ashton's performance that really gripped me was his ability to engage with the crowd during some of his most
During Bassnestar's track "Infinite," Ashton slowed the upbeat tempo down at the same time as his screen behind him turned to a slow-moving tunnel of bright orange bricks. Reference the 1997 film "Event Horizon," and its meat-grinding tunnel (an orange one) for a better visual.
At this time, Ashton began to mock the crowd's upper torso movements with a slow wave of his hand up and down to synchronize with the hard-hitting beat. Bobbing and swaying became the norm in the crowd, and Ashton had the feel of a leader controlling the movements of the masses. This only added fuel to the already "awesome" fire that had been lit by the opening band, Ghostland Observatory.
The appearance of lasers to match song beats were early and often throughout the evening, and Ghostland Observatory, especially with "Midnight Voyage," had the crowd amped for what Bassnectar was about to bring.
If you haven't had a chance to check out a live Bassnectar show, I strongly advise you give it a shot. I didn't have to take psychedelic drugs to enjoy myself, and you won't have to either. Bassnectar's on-stage presence and the lasers and smoke and whatever else were used (some sort of confetti during the track "Lights") puts even the most soberest of minds in a dreamlike trance.

Channeling the good in social media sites
Alexander Rhodes is now more famous than Tom Cruise.
"Who exactly is Alexander Rhodes?" you may be asking yourself. Well, thanks to the social network reddit.com, an otherwise unknown actor has risen to the top ranks of the website, IMDb.com, passing Tom Cruise, among others, in the December film "jack Reacher."
It all started just this last week according to a report on the social media website Mashable.com, when the actor in question went on the social website reddit where there was a question posted that asked, "Where do they find those skinny guys for Holocaust Movies?" His response was pretty entertaining, replying with a very detailed answer, while explaining that he knew this after working as extra on movies just like these. He then proceeded to post a link to his IMDb page.
By Brett Phillippe
bphillippe@kansan.com
So, with such a vibrant community of people on reddit, once they caught wind of what Rhodes posted, hundreds of people flocked to his IMDb page, and, as a result, he began to shoot
Now, if you don't know much about reddit, let this fill you in. According to the website's description, they are "a social news website where users can post links to content on the web. Other users may then vote the posted links up or down, causing them to appear more or less prominently on the home page." There is also a discussion area where people can chat.
What's so interesting about this rise of power for Rhodes is not so much about him, but is more about how much power there can be within the social media networks.
up the IMDb rankings because of page views. He currently sits at number eight on IMDb, and could be rising higher in the coming weeks.
The power is there; we just need to take it.
If you think back to what made Betty White come back to power, it was all because of a Facebook campaign. If social media communities give us so much power, maybe we could use it to help further a cause, such as something on the political spectrum or maybe even to raise money for a cause that affects the world around us.
If the online communities of social networks like reddit, Facebook, or Twitter came together for a cause that is bigger than themselves — instead of something like helping a celebrity rise in the rankings — our world could look a lot different.

Apple's secrets of success
Times have drastically changed from the time our parents attended college. When our parents were our age, they didn't have lightweight laptops to bring to class to take notes on. They didn't have smartphones or even cell phones to call home or text their friends when they were bored in class.
the profits for smart phones and 85 percent of the profit for tablets. Apple will only recreate products if it can make them better than the already existing product.
Well, I came up with some good reasons for why Apple has taken control over the world of electronic devices. Business majors, these tips could be meaningful for you in the future.
Apple doesn't make new products; it makes better recreations of an already existing product. For example, Apple didn't come out with the first smart phone; they recreated it to make it better, and this is when the iPhone came out. Apple didn't make the first tablet; they recreated it to make it better than the ones already for sale. This is when the iPad came out. According to Time.com, Apple owns 70 percent of
cally unsavy person can learn how to use it. Even though Apple is always releasing new and improved versions of the iPhone or iPOD with more features on it, keeping them easy to use can be a difficult task. But the workers at Apple make sure each updated version is easier to use than the previous. If not, customers would go back to the old and Apple would lose money.
Another reason why Apple has had such great success is because it is always ahead of the game and its competitors. Think about it — when the
But college students nowadays are much more lucky. We have all those things that make our lives easier day in and day out. And we have Apple to thank for most of that.
Why is Apple so successful in selling top-of-the-line electronic devices? Well, for starters, its products are easy to use and easy to handle. Steve Jobs insisted this for all Apple products. Each iPod, iPhone and iPad is made so that even the most technologi-
very first MP3 player went on sale. Apple was signing off on the iPod, which would have more and better features than the MP3 player had. When the very first MacBook came out, the company was working on ways to make it better for the future with the iPad and Macbook Pro. Staying ahead of your competitors is the key to retail success because your product will always be the best on the market.
Apple has been extremely successful and has monopolized the industry ever since the release of the very first iPod. But why is Apple so successful?
How many people on campus do you see with smart phones that aren't iPhones, or computers that aren't Macbooks or even tablets that aren't iPads? Probably not many because Apple has taken over the game.

"It's kind of like a 'Hey, we care about college students, and we like to have fun."
The University won the chance to have the PINK truck visit after a Twitter war with the University of Missouri, which Chasen said was a close race for a couple of days.
Nicole Nunes, a junior from Maize, Kan., said she found out about the event through one of the PINK campus representatives. She found a PINK dog by Anschutz Library and attended the workout class at Body Boutique.
On Thursday, 100 PINK dogs were hidden across campus for students to find. If students brought their dogs with them to the tailgate, they could exchange them for a limited-edition t-shirt.
Later that day, there was also a free workout class at Body Boutique, where a variety of freebies were given out.
"Body Jam was a really fun, upbeat workout," she said. "I won a free pair of limited edition yoga leggings, which was definitely a perk. Everyone had a great time."

Skydiver makes record-breaking leap
SCIENCE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROSWELL, N.M. — Extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner landed safely on Earth after a 24-mile jump from the stratosphere in a dramatic, daring feat that may also have marked the world's first supersonic sky dive.
Baumgartner came down in the eastern New Mexico desert minutes after jumping from his capsule 128,000 feet, or 24 miles, above Earth. He lifted his arms in victory shortly after landing, sending off loud cheers from onlookers and friends inside the mission's control center in Roswell, N.M.
It wasn't immediately certain whether he had broken the speed of sound during his free-fall, which was one of the goals of the mission.
Three hours earlier, Baumgartner, known as "Fearless Felix," had taken off in a pressurized capsule carried by a 55-story ultra-thin helium balloon. As he exited his capsule from high above Earth, he flashed a thumbs-up sign, aware that his feat was being shown on a live-stream on the Internet.
65th anniversary of U.S. test pilot Chuck Yeager successful attempt to become the first man to officially break the sound barrier aboard an airplane.
At Baumgartner's insistence, some 30 cameras recorded the event Sunday. While it had been pegged as a live broadcast, it was actually under a 20-second delay. Shortly after launch, screens at mission control showed the capsule as it rose above 10,000 feet, high above the New Mexico desert as cheers erupted from organizers. Baumgartner also could be seen on video checking instruments inside the capsule.
Baumgartner's team included Joe Kittinger, who first attempted to break the sound barrier from 19.5 miles up in 1960, reaching speed of 614 mph. With Kittinger inside mission control Sunday, the two men could be heard going over technical details as the launch began.
keep it_right there," Kittinger told Baumgartner.
An hour into the flight, Baum-gartner had ascended more than 63,000 feet and had gone through a trial run of the jump sequence that will send him plummeting toward Earth. Ballast was dropped to speed up the ascent.
Kittinger told him, "Everything is in the green. Doing great.
This attempt marked the end of a five-year road for Baumgartner, a record-setting high-altitude jumper. He already made two preparation jumps in the area, one in March from 15 miles high and on in July from 18 miles high. It will also be the end of his extreme altitude jumping career; he has promised this will be his final jump.
You are right on the button.
After the jump, Baumgartner says he plans to settle down with his girlfriend and fly helicopters on mountain rescue and firefighting missions in the U.S. and Austria.

Shawn Lockhart looks at the meningitis-causing fungus Exserohilum rostratum at the mycotic lab at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last Friday in Atlanta. The staff and technicians have been working around the clock to confirm cases and inform the public regarding the multi-state meningitis outbreak that has resulted in 14 deaths. The fungal outbreak is believed to have started at New England Compounding Center where a steroid injection shipment was contaminated with the fungus.
US experiences fungus outbreak
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Scattered across the carefully landscaped main campus of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are the staff on the front lines fighting a rare outbreak of fungal meningitis: A scientist in a white lab coat coers through a microscope at fungi on a glass slide. In another room, another researcher uses what looks like a long, pointed eye dropper to suck up DNA samples that will be tested for the suspect fungus.
Not far away in another building is the emergency operations center, which is essentially the war room. There's a low hum of voices as employees work the phones, talking to health officials, doctors and patients who received potentially contaminated pain injections believed to be at the root of the outbreak. Workers sit at rows of computers, gathering data, advising doctors and reaching out to thousands of people who may have been exposed. Overall, dozens of people are working day and night to bring the outbreak under control. More
than 200 people in 14 states have been sickened, including 15 who have died.
There is a sense of urgency — people are dying, and lives could be saved if those who are sickened get treated in time. But it's not a race against a fast-fasting illness like avian flu or SARS — or even the fictional virus the CDC fails to unravel in the popular TV series "The Walking Dead." Unlike those outbreaks, this strain of meningitis isn't contagious and doesn't spread between people. It is likely isolated to the contaminated steroid, produced by the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass.
"This is a very unusual infection," said Dr. John Jernigan, a CDC medical epidemiologist who is leading the clinical investigation team for the outbreak response. "So, treatment recommendations, diagnostic recommendations are all going to be new, and we're learning as we go on this one."
Meningitis, an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, is not uncommon. But it is usually caused by
bacteria, and it is very unusual to see it in patients with normal immune systems, Jernigan said. This strain is caused by a fungus that is common in dirt and grasses — people routinely come into contact with it without getting sick — but it has never before been identified as the cause of meningitis.
By Friday morning, officials believed they had reached about 90 percent of those who were potentially affected, Jernigan said. They planned to continue trying to reach every person to see if they've had problems and to warn them to be on the lookout for symptoms, which can include severe headache, nausea, dizziness and fever. The CDC says many of the cases have been mild, but some people had strokes.
A meeting is held each morning to review overnight developments and plot a course of action for the day, and another at the end of the day summarizes the day's developments and looks ahead to the next day.

PEST CONTROL
Mehmedovic recently visited the home of 82-year-old Lawrence resident Barbara Haverty, who saw two brown recluse spiders and called pest control.
Inside, Mehmedovic sprayed a human-safe insecticide along the baseboards in every room of the house.
"They like to hide in the baseboards," Methmedovic said. "Anywhere there are bugs, spiders will follow"
Mehmedovic said brown recluse spiders like areas that aren't moved, changed or trafficked by people, like untouched closets, attics and storage rooms. They also like to hide in rough material with crevices like newspapers and cardboard. Spiders and other bugs often enter homes through small spaces between drainage
pipes and walls.

Mehmedovic found four of the venomous spiders underneath an old sign that covered a sewage hole in an unfinished storage room. He also sprayed two spiders hiding underneath an unrolled water hose.

"Usually I don't see them out like this." Mehmedovic said.
Haverty has lived at her house for 30 years and calls pest control every other year. "We've had squirrels in the attic," Haverty said. "But this is the first for the brown spiders."

COMMENTARY Out with Crist, change needed now
Monday, October 15, 2012
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
Weis found his spark plug in redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Gummings.
Cummings completed five of his 10 passes for 75 yards and a touchdown. He led the team on two touchdown drives, and with the help of junior running back James Sims, the offense exploded, gaining nearly 160 yards in the fourth quarter.
For a moment, the Kansas football team looked like it had some magic. The team stormed back from a 20-point deficit to cut Oklahoma State's lead down to six. Sadly, a roughing the kicker penalty caused the game to be over, and Kansas lost 20-14.
With the offense hardly posing a threat to the Oklahoma State defense in the first half, coach Charlie Weis had to make a switch. Senior quarterback Dayne Crist just wasn't leading the team down the field efficiently.
But, hope is not lost.
"He had great composure, he was having fun, and he put us in a position to win the game," Weis said on Cummings' performance. "It's something we are going to have to seriously look at."
Cummings did something Saturday that Dayne Crist hasn't been able to do: He put Kansas in a position to win.
And Weis is absolutely right.
Just think for a minute. Crist threw an interception against Rice to allow them to be in great field position. Crist couldn't lead the offense against TCU after the defense caused four turnovers. And Crist couldn't hit a wide open Kale Pick for a touchdown against Northern Illinois.
But he doesn't possess a trait that Cummings has: mobility.
On the other hand, Cummings was able to lead the offense back into the game. Sure, he overthrew sophomore running back Brandon Bourbon on a crucial fourth down, but he posed a threat that Crist can't.
Dayne Crist is 6 feet 4 inches and has been playing college football in the past five years. He's also a standard size for a quarterback and has a decent arm.
Sure, Cummings isn't a traditional quarterback with his 5-foot-10-inch frame. He doesn't even have the experience like Crist. But with his agility and speed, the defense has to treat him differently.

Crist would stand in the pocket, and when no one was open, he would either take a sack or be too slow to make the first down.
Dayne Crist was brought here to Kansas to be the next big quarterback. Now that the idea hasn't worked, it's time for a change. Out with the old and in with the new.
When Cummings was in the game, he would bounce outside the pocket, causing the Oklahoma State defense to react to him. Even when he handed the ball off to the running backs, the defense had to make sure that he didn't have the ball because he poses a threat.

RISE OF THE REDSHIRT
Freshman quarterback builds momentum in fourth quarter, but not enough for a victory
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
It wasn't a smooth change right away. Cummins first series included the quarterback rushing for negative 17 yards.
But late in the third quarter of Kansas' 20-14 loss on Saturday to Oklahoma State at Memorial Stadium, Crist's time ran out.
Dayne Crist bad time. Time in the pocket, time of possession and time to make Charlie Weis as well as Jayhawk fans think he could be the starting quarterback.
With Kansas trailing by 20 and still without any points, coach Charlie Weis pulled his fifth-year senior quarterback in favor of a redshirt freshman who's only playing time occurred last week at Kansas State during the blowout where several backup players were used.
With Crist in the midst of his fourth game with a completion percentage of less than 50 percent and after gaining just 137 yards against Oklahoma State, it was redshirt freshman Michael Cummings' turn to lead the Jayhawk offense.
"I had dialed up the call sheet already." Weis said of the quarterback change. "I was grasping for what can I get to get going. If you don't have much inventory left on the call sheet, the one thing you have going for you is you can change the personnel."
Oklahoma State keyed in on the freshman and left him with little to go except backwards. Yet it was all forward progress after that. Progress with the offense, progress with Cummings' passes and progress with the game that was suddenly up for grabs.
After that first series, Weis realized that the tempo he set was set too slow for his new signal caller. Instead of having Cummings adjust to him, Weis chose to adapt to him.
With the change in tempo, the freshman that was trying to take it one play at a time began moving the chains in an uncharacteristic fourth quarter for the lajwhacks.
Before Saturday, Kansas had been outscored 43-13 in the final period this season. Against Oklahoma State, and with Cummings behind center, the Jayhawks began to reverse that trend.
Cummings marched the Jayhawks 44 yards down the field before connecting with sophomore tight end Jimmay Mandine on a 21-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to put Kansas on the board.
"The first touchdown we had in the fourth quarter is really when we started building momentum." Pick said. "Once we made a few

plays it started to snowball."
Kansas was still far from a comeback, but with a defense that held the big 12's leading rusher Joseph Randle to just 2.8 yards per
"This was a big turnaround for us. We just came together and wanted to finish the game strong."
JAMES SIMS, RUNNING BACK
carry, it didn't seem impossible.
After kicking off to the Cowboys, the Jayhawks forced a three-and-out that set Kansas up at their 27-yard line.
With more than nine minutes left on the clock, there was plenty of time for Kansas to climb back into the game.
But the Jayhawks only needed 42 seconds and two rushes by junior running back lames Sims to score their second consecutive touchdown.
The first run went for 28 yards. The second, which came after a fifteen-yard penalty on the Cowboys, went for 30 yards and to the back of the end zone.
After three quarters and an hour and 19-minute rain delay earlier in the game
Kansas was down by just six points.
"The last couple of games we really didn't show up in the fourth quarter," Sims said.
"This was a big turnaround for us. We just came together and wanted to finish the game strong."
The Jayhawks could have finished stronger. Cummins only commanded one more drive, and it stalled near midfield after a failed fourth down conversion.
Kansas' defense would come up strong again, stopping the Cowboys at their 46 yard line with just over two minutes left.
But on the ensuing punt, with the Jayhawks set to get the ball back, the Kansas special teams unit was called for roughing the kicker, a 15-yard penalty that gave Oklahoma State a first down that clinched the victory.
In a fourth quarter where the Jayhawks could have used a little more time, they turned to a freshman quarterback who made the most of it, and who may be seeing more playing time in the future.
"I think Mike played pretty solid," Weis said. "He put us in a position to win the game. It's something we are going to have to seriously look at."

After leading the Jayhawks to the National Championship game last April, Bill Self didn't need to ride in on a motorcycle to reassure the at-capacity crowd at Allen Fieldhouse on Friday during the 28th annual "Late Night in the Phop" about this year's team.
Despite returning three starters from last year's squad, this year's team still

has plenty of questions surrounding the upcoming season. Most of these revolve around the large batch of freshmen — including Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor, who both redshirted last season — and what they are expected to contribute to the team.
"It hasn't really changed as a general statement, but the statement is curved." senior Elijah Johnson said of Self's message to the team. "Sometimes you have to say it differently for different ears, but it's always the same statement overall. We work hard and we don't settle."
In the scrimage portion of the evening, seniors Johnson, Travis Releford and Jeff Withey led the Crimson team to a 36-28 victory over the Blue team.
Johnson led all players with 11 points and made three of his six 3-point attempts. Withey, a double-double machine last season, nearly matched that
feat again with 10 points and seven rebounds in the 20 minute-game.
The Blue team, composed mostly of freshmen, started keeping pace with the Crimson squad, but couldn't keep up with it the whole 20 minutes.
"I think they were all nervous." Self said of the freshmen. "But I think that's good. Get it out of their system."
Perry Ellis, playing for the Crimson squad, and McLemore and Trayler playing for the Blue squad, led the newcomers with six points apiece.
Self remarked at how impressed he was by the event's turnout, which was so high that some fans had to be turned away at the door.
"Nobody's got it as good as we do right here in Lawrence, Kan." Self said.

THE MORNING BREW New MLB format shows promise for postseason play
MLB POSTSEASON
OFF TO GREAT START
Major League Baseball made several changes to the post-season format for this season by adding a second Wild Card spot, a one game Wild Card playoff and a new travel schedule for the Division Series. These changes have led to the most exciting opening week to the playoffs in years.
By Jacob Clemen
jclemen@kansan.com
The two planned elimination games in the Wild Card round created immediate excitement but even more entertaining was the fact that all four Division Series went to five games.
While I hate the new format for the Division Series, from a fairness standpoint, the revised schedule allowed for some amazing baseball. With three walk-offs in the postseason so far and two 13-inning games in the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees series, all the teams have been as evenly contested as you could ask for.
NHL GAMBLING BIG WITH LOCKOUT
The National Hockey League was supposed to start on Friday but cancelled games through Oct. 24 due to the labor dispute between the NHL Players Association and the owners.
NHL players have already began signing contracts to play abroad, and Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin even said he may choose to stay in Russia if the lockout results in a decrease in player salaries.
Unlike the NFL and NBA, who
also went through lockouts last season, the NHL runs a serious risk of losing its stars to international clubs and its fans to other sports.
The NHL is already well behind the NBA and NFL in terms of relevance and could slip even further. The NHL is struggling to make money and a loss in attention could be a devastating hit to the league that lost an entire season in 2004.
Over the past eight seasons since the lockout the NHL has built its brand back and could lose all that momentum if there is a prolonged lockout and games are missed beyond Christmas.
Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg was benched after Sept. 8 despite having a great year for the National League East Champions. Strasburg was 15-6 with a 3.16 ERA before being shut

down.
Strasburg had Tommy John surgery last season prompting the Nationals to shut him down before the season ended to avoid further injury.
The Nationals could have used Strasburg in their series against the St. Louis Cardinals and they are taking heat from the media and fans for their decision to sit their young star.
KU
I agree with a lot of the criticisms. The Washington Nationals are the first D.C.-based team to reach the postseason in 79 years and the fans deserved to see the best players on the field.
Strasburg's innings should have been limited earlier in the season so that he would avoid being overworked and still play in the most important part of the Nationals' season as they locked up a playoff start long before the season ended.
team in our nation's capital, but there is no guarantee that the Nationals will find themselves in the playoffs again soon. Strasburg is too important for the team's success to be left watching in the biggest moments.

New quarterback, same result for Chiefs
Freeman's inconsistency has been
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Ronde Barber is getting older, but no less valuable to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The 37-year-old, five-time Pro Bowl selection has always had a knack for making big plays, and his interception and 78-yard return for a touchdown Sunday keyed a 38-10 rout of the struggling Kansas City Chiefs.
"If I could bottle that, I'd sell it for a lot of money," the oldest player on the
field said of his penchant for changing games. "I've always been ball aware. I see the ball out a lot because I'm always around it. I can't tell you why. I'll just take them as they come, though."
The only remaining player from Tampa Bay's Super Bowl champion of 10 years ago picked off a pass that nearly hit the ground after glancing off the intended receiver's arm, and it smooth sailing up the right sideline, with teammate E.J. Biggers leading the way.
Josh Freeman threw for a season-high 328 yards and three TDs for the Bucs (2-3), who intercepted Brady Quinn twice in the Kansas City quarterback's first start in nearly three years.
actually made a great play." Barber said. "He's gotten the assist on a couple of my interceptions here the past couple of years. Give him more credit than me. I just snatched it off the ground before it hit it. It was a pretty easy 78-yard run for me."
an issue during a slow start by Tampa Bay, however the fourth-year pro is developing a touch on deep passes that's sparked a sputtering offense over the past two games.
He teamed with Mike Williams on a 62-yard scoring play in the first quarter and threw TD passes of 19 and 17 yards to Vincent Jackson in the second half.
The victory coming off a bye week ended a three-game skid and left the Chiefs (1-5) heading into their open date with a three-game skid of their own.
"it's a big day for our offense and for our team to get back on track," Bucs coach Greg Schiano said. "For Josh, especially, I thought he kept his cool throughout the game when things didn't go well. ... Sure, there are going to be throws he's going to wish he had back and things he wished he did differently. It's a slow process, but he's getting better."
Barber, making the transition to safety after 15 seasons as one of the NFL's top cornerbacks, scored his 14th
career regular season touchdown when he picked off a pass that bounced off Dexter McCluster and ran up the sideline untouched to make it 21-3 early in the third quarter.
The Chiefs thought the ball hit the ground. The play was reviewed, but the ruling that it was an interception and TO stood.
"I got hit on the play," Quinn said. "I thought I put the ball in a good spot, but all of a sudden I looked up and I saw him running. It was a tremendous play."

Junior forward Caroline Kastor keeps her eye on the ball and away from her UNLV opponents on Aug. 26 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Last weekend, the Jayhawks were unable to put any points on the board and are now on a three-game losing streak.

Kansas allowed two first half goals and continued to be without a victory when trailing at the half as the team suffered its first two-loss weekend of the year.
On Friday night, Kansas struggled to put shots on goal in a 1-0 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners. The Jayhawks outshot the Sooners, but could only put three of 14 shots on goal. Forward Renae Cuellar scored for Oklahoma in the 22nd minute for the match's only goal.
"I thought we controlled the tempo of the game; we had the ball way more than they did," coach Mark Francis said. "We just didn't really create a whole lot."
The lajahawks failed to create scoring chances in the first half, but found more luck in the second half. Kansas outshot the Sooners 11-5 in the second half, but Kansas again couldn't finish any of the chances they were able to create.
In the final 10 minutes, the Jayhawks pushed forward in search of a late equalizer. With just four minutes remaining, senior midfielder Amy Grow's through ball found junior forward Caroline Kastor, but her shot sailed wide of the soal.
The loss moved Kansas to the middle of the Big 12 standings and 10 points behind No. 1 West Virginia.
"We went to a 3-4-3 formation at the end." Francis said. "I told the team our sense of urgency the last 10 minutes was really good but we should have had t kind of moment at the beginning of

half."
The Jayhawks traveled to Austin,Tex. on Sunday to take on No. 2 Texas Longhorns. For the second straight game, Kansas allowed a first half goal and lost 1-0 when Texas' Brooke Gilbert scored off a corner kick. The Jayhawk defense continued its strong

Volleyball team swept out of Texas
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Despite leading late in sets two and three, the Kansas volleyball team couldn't avoid being swept by the Texas Longhorns Friday night in Austin, Texas. The match marked Kansas' first conference loss this season, while Texas has yet to lose a set in conference play.
Kansas led the third set 23-20 and looked like it might be able to fight its way back like it did Wednesday against Oklahoma. But Texas rattled off the long straight points, giving the longhorns control. Redshirt junior Catherine Carmichael knotted the set at 24 with a kill, but a service error by freshman Tiana Dockery and a block by Texas closed out the match.
"Our hope was that we could get to 20-20 games and hopefully they'd
feel the pressure being at home and trying to keep their record up," coach Ray Bechard said. "But they ended up making a few more plays than we did in the end."
The Longhorns have improved their
home record to 87-4 since 2007,
and moved to 15-3 in the season
and 7-0 in conference play. Kansas
fell to 17-3 and 5-1 in conference

Kansas came to life in the second set, with neither team gaining more than a three-point lead. A block by senior middle blocker Taylor Toilefree and sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers gave the Jayhawks a 20-19 lead, but Texas would not let Kansas grab any momentum. Texas used two blocks and two Jayhawk attack errors to pull away, 25-22.
Texas dominated the first set, beginning the match on a 5-2 run. After that, the Jayhawks could only close to within two points, and the Longhorns kept extending their lead. A kill by redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc ignited a brief 4-0 Kansas run to cut the deficit to 15-11. But Texas answered with an offensive barrage and a 10-3 run to give them

"We had 29 hitting errors, 18 unforced, and they only had nine (unforced errors) because they blocked 11
balls, and we blocked five," Bechard said. "Late in matches, that makes a huge difference."
The third set seemed more promising for Kansas than the second. The Jayhawks went on the offensive, with Carmichael and middle blockers Jarmoc and Tayler Tolefree accounting for 18 points during the set, including two service aces from Jarmoc.
The Jayhawks couldn't take advantage of this momentum despite getting late leads of 20-17 and 23-20. Kansas committed two late attack errors, but was still tied at 24 and had the serve. However, a Dockery service error gave the Longhorns the lead and the serve, and Texas finished the match with a block on a Carmichael attack.

"I think we just needed to get one good pass or one good set, and we had two hitting errors," Carmichael said. "I think it was mostly our mistakes that let them creep back in and get the win in the second and third set."

GLASS HALF FULL
NOTES
Whether it was the emergence of Michael Cummings or not, the Jayhawks found something that worked in the fourth quarter. Kansas enters the practice week with momentum to build off of after winning its first fourth quarter of the season.
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
GLASS HALF EMPTY
If it wasn't for Kansas' inability to hit field goals, this may have been a much closer game. The Jayhawks have yet to find a better solution than Ron Doherty, and it's starting to cost them valuable points. Oklahoma State anticipated the fake plays, and it surely won't be the last team that does.
Oklahoma State entered Memorial Stadium a perfect 25 for 25 in the red zone. The Kansas defense was the first to hold the Cowboys from scoring after reaching the 20-yard line. Joseph Randall was stopped from gaining a first down on a fourth-and-1 at the Jayhawks 16-yard line.
LOOKING AHEAD
What we know is that Kansas will play in Norman, Oklahoma next week. What we don't know is who will be starting at quarterback. This will be an important week of practice for both Dayne Crist and Michael Cummings.
DELAY OF THE GAME
An hour and 19 minute rain delay stopped the game with 44 seconds left in the first quarter.
GAME BALL
Without a doubt, this goes to Defensive Coordinator Dave Campo. Campo held one of the nation's top scoring offense to 20-points and held the Big 12's best run game to 116-yards. Without the work that Campo had done, Kansas wouldn't have even been in a position to win the game.

Defense improves in OSU game
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN

Despite Oklahoma State being ranked first in the nation in scoring coming into Saturday's game, Kansas held the team to a season-low of 20 points. The defense entered the game with the mindset of making sure the Cowboys would not score a lot of points.
Oklahoma State traveled to Memorial Stadium with an offense equipped with fire power. The Cowboys were hoping to run the score up on Kansas, like they have all season against other teams. In the end, the Jayhawks defense limited the Cowboys and prevented them from getting excessive with their scoring.
One of the biggest keys for Kansas was back stopping Oklahoma State running back Joseph Randle, who had more than 100 rushing yards in each of the four games before playing Kansas. The Kansas run defense kept him in check all game long. Randle rushed for only
80 yards and averaged a 2.8 yard per carry average, the lowest for him all season.
"I thought that they were very solid today," coach Charlie Weis said of the defense. "They stopped the run pretty well. We gave up a couple of chunks, but they really kept us alive into the fourth quarter and gave us a chance to win. I'm really proud of their performance today."
In the first quarter, Randle got the call to run on fourth-and-one at the Kansas 16-year line. Safety Bradley McDougald and linebacker Darius Willis brought Randle down for no gain. Kansas' defense built momentum early on after forcing Oklahoma State to turn the ball over on downs. It was also the first time this season that Oklahoma State reached the red zone and did not score.
Kansas was forced to go to the locker room late in the first quarter for an hour and 19 minutes due to lightning. The defense kept its composure during the intermission and played consistently. In addition to scoring only 20 points, Oklahoma State converted on only seven of 17 third downs and had 371 total yards.
"As a defense, we played pretty well," linebacker Huldon Tharp said. "We gave up a couple of big plays here and there, which as a defense we were trying to limit Oklahoma State because that is what they make their living on. There were some mistakes, but overall, I'd say it's our best performance this year."
With Weis making the switch to put in freshman quarterback Michael Cummings, the team began getting into a rhythm in the fourth quarter. As Cummings put Kansas back in the game with a touchdown pass to sophomore tight end Jimmy Mundine, the defense was more motivated to return to the field and stop Oklahoma State's offense.
"A lot of guys had a killer-instinct look in their eyes," safety Bradley McDougald said. "We just knew we
were going to get a stop and get the offense back the ball."
Despite coming up short, the Jayhawks defense feels good about its performance and hope that eventually, the entire team can come together and find the win that it was close to earning on Saturday.
The defense returned to the field and forced a three-and-out to keep Oklahoma State's offense on the sideline. The Kansas defense watched the offense return the favor after a 30-yard touchdown run by James Sims, making it a sixpoint game.
However, Oklahoma State managed to keep the ball after Kansas was called for roughing the punter late in the fourth quarter.
"We'll take the positives out of here and try to build on that," Tharp said. "Ultimately, fix the negative stuff. There are things to clean up still, but good effort overall by the defense."
Edited by Brittney Haynes
OFFENSE
Before Michael Cummings took over the offense in the third quarter, Dayne Crist completed only 10 of 22 passes, and James Sims had only rushed for 45 yards. By the end of the fourth, Sims had gained nearly 100 more. If Kansas continues to play like it did after the QB switch, the grades will keep climbing.
Grade: C+
DEFENSE
Grade: A
There is a reason Kansas was in a position to win, and it didn't have to do with a personnel change. Dave Campo's defensive corps played one of its best games to date, holding Joseph Randall — the Big 12's leading rusher averaging seven yards per carry — to just 80 yards on 29 rushes. The defense also snagged its 14th takeaway of the season.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Grade: D+
Kansas went 0-5 on converting fourth downs, which isn't as concerning as the fact that coach Charlie Weis felt that his offense would have a better shot than his special teams five times. Sean Huddleston took over for Ron Doherty on punts and averaged 40.8 yards on five kicks.
COACHING
Self admittedly, Charlie Weis tried everything in the playbook. When he got to that point, Michael Cummings became the next option. It obviously wasn't an easy move for Weis to take out the quarterback he recruited, but it was a necessary one. Not to mention Dave Campo still doesn't get nearly enough credit.

"KU was more physical up front in the run game than we were. It looked like over the last four years there have been certain games that we have played where we just looked bad. Today we just looked bad. We got our shoulders turned. We didn't get off on linebackers. Up front, they won the battle."

TEXAS TECH 49 - NO. 5 WEST VIRGINIA 14
TTU 5-1 (2-1) - WVU 5-1 (2-1)
Texas Tech shocked the world on Saturday after pounding West Virginia and handing the team its first loss of the season.
texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege threw for 499 yards, the most he is thrown in a single game. Doege also threw six touchdown passes in the game to give the Red Raiders a 35-point win. Wide receiver Darrin Moore was Doege's biggest target. Moore pulled in nine catches for 92 yards and three touchdowns.
The Red Raiders defense hindered West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith. Smith came into this game with an 81 percent completion percentage, but completed only 29 of his 55 passes — 53 percent — against Texas Tech.
Smiths 26 incomplete were a factor in the Mountaineers mustering only 14 points, a season-leason.
STATE
NO. 6 KANSAS STATE 27 - IOWA STATE 21
KSU 6-0 (3-0) - 4-2 (1-2)
Kansas State traveled to Iowa State for its second conference road game of the season. The Wildcats were challenged by the Cyclones on Saturday, but survived, earning a big victory on the road.
Jared Barnett filled in for Iowa State quarterback Steele Jantz, who was out with a knee injury. Barnett threw for 166 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. A touchdown pass to tight end Ernst Brun Jr. in the second quarter gave the Cyclones their first lead of the game. However, the momentum boost disappeared when Kansas State's ground game made its presence known.
Kansas State ran the ball 52 times. Quarterback Collin Klein scrambled 25 times for 105 yards and three touchdowns. Running back John Hubert was also a prominent player, running 22 times for 79 yards.
Kansas State's defense ended the game with two consecutive fourth down holds in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats remain undefeated.
OU
NO. 13 OKLAHOMA 63 - NO. 15 TEXAS 21
OU 4-1 (2-1) - UT 4-2 (1-2)
Oklahoma scored first and never looked back against Texas.
The only points scored by the Longhorns came from a blocked extra point attempt taken back 88 yards for two points by corner back Quandre Diggs. Oklahoma went into halftime with a 36-2 lead.
Texas quarterback David Ash threw 13 of 29 passes on Saturday. Ash and the Texas offense had no opportunities to succeed after being held to 13 first downs and converting only four of 13 third downs.
Sooners quarterback Landry Jones passed for 321 yards and a pair of touchdowns, contributing to Oklahoma's 677 total yards. Damien Williams also played a big role, running for 167 yards and a touchdown to help defeat Texas.

In this game, it was TCU that prevailed.
It was redemption week for both teams. Each went into Saturday's game after losing the week before; Texas Christian was defeated by Iowa State after losing quarterback Casey Pachall, and Baylor lost to West Virginia in a wild shootout two weeks ago.
TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin played a better game this week, throwing 261 yards and four touchdown passes. Coach Gary Patterson tried to take some of the pressure off Boykin by getting the ground game involved. Boykin scrambled 16 times for a touchdown, and tailbacks Aundre Dean and B.J. Caton each had more than 70 rushing yards to contribute to TCU's 248 total.
It was simply a bad game for Baylor quarterback Nick Florence. Florence completed only 12 passes and threw four interceptions. As a team, Baylor committed six turnovers and held possession of the ball for only 18 minutes and eight seconds.
Although the fourth quarter began as a one-score game, TCU scored three unanswered touchdowns to pull the game away from the Bears.

Adidas Invitational is one of the largest NCAA cross country races of the season. During the invitational, 45 mens' teams and 48 women's' teams competed. The Kansas men's team finished in the middle of the pack at 20th place while the women's team finished in 47th place.
"We definitely had good efforts out there, but in a meet of this size, that's a lot of bodies you have to fight through if you fall behind early," Whitesley said. "The results were not where we felt they could've been today."
Despite the finish in the standings, the women's team had some strong individual races. Whittlesey said he thought that junior Natalie Becker ran the best race of her career at Kansas with a time of 22:14 and senior Kyra Kilwein finished the race nicely at 21:24.
The first Jayhawk to finish was senior Kathleen Thompson at 21:20 witwh Kilwein four seconds behind her at the finish. Other than those two runners, the women's team did not finish the race as much of a pack.
However, the men's team did finish another race with a tight pack of runners near the front. Sophomore Reid Buchanan finished as the first Jayhawk for the first time in his career at Kansas in 74th place.
Buchanan ran with senior Donny Wasinger and redshirt freshman Gabe Gonzalez for most of the race before finishing ahead of them.
"I thought Reid did a really good job today," Whittlesey said. "Reid had a fantastic kick down the final 400 meters that put him ahead of the other two, but I was pleased with how all three performed today."
After Buchanan crossed the finish line, 33 seconds passed before the Jayhawks seventh runner, Josh Munsch, finished. Whittlesey said he thought there were some things that needed to be changed for the next meet.
"It was still a good result despite some poor execution on the men's side," Whittlesey said. "We definitely have some things we can build upon after today's race, but we need to be more focused on our game plan before the conference meet."
The Jayhawks have two weeks before the Big 12 meet in Austin, Texas on Oct. 27.
"Both teams just need to execute the race plan much better at the early part of the race." Whittlesey said. "We need to continue to build our confidence and if we do that we could so some good things at the Big 12 meet."

DORM DRINKING DAZE
FACULTAT DE SCIENCES Y TECNICAS
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
Ellsworth Residence Hall is home to 560 students. It recorded the second-highest rate of reported alcohol infractions among student housing complexes in 2011.
Dorm drinking and drug use decreased over past year
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
Dorm drinking might not be dwindling, but the number of residents getting caught with alcohol is.
The averages of alcohol and drug referrals in on-campus housing decreased in 2011 compared to five-year averages.
According to The Clery Annual Security Report, in 2011, KU Student Housing referred 836 unique individuals for suspected alcohol violations, down 6.4 percent from the five-year average of 893.
KU Student Housing provided The University Daily Kansan with the number of individual, not unique, 2011 numbers of alcohol and drug referrals per residence hall.
Similarly, 186 unique individuals were referred on suspected drug violations, down 10.2 percent from the 186 five year-average.
Jennifer Wamelink, associate director of housing, said it's not unusual to see numbers fluctuate despite university policies and resident assistants' training being stagnant.
When the alcohol and drug policy is broken, anyone in the room is subject to disciplinary action, regardless of participation.
Wamelink said this is probably why Lewis Hall, which is broken into four-person suites, had the
"We always tell them to do their searches using all their senses," Wamelink said. "We want them listening, looking and smelling for anything that might be out of place."
According to the policy, alcohol or alcoholic beverage containers or paraphernalia, in which the policy lists beer bongs as an example, are not allowed in residence halls, scholarship halls, or Jayhawk Towers.
The second highest compared to the occupancy number was Ellsworth Hall, with 178 referrals and 560 occupants. Oliver Hall was third with 614 students and 184 referrals. It was also second for drug referrals, with 50. Hashinger
"I transferred from another school where the alcohol was worse in the dorm," Hadnot said. "It doesn't seem like there's really that much of it here."
Lewis Hall had 106 violations compared to its 273 occupants, which reflects the occupancy on the 20th day of the fall semester.
Though a referral only means the resident is referred to a staff member to determine if action is necessary, D'Arius Hadnot, a sophomore from Dallas and Lewis resident, said he was surprised Lewis' numbers were so high.
highest number of individual referrals when compared to the number of residents for 2011.
Hall had the most drug referrals comparatively, with 36 referrals and 356 occupants.
Anytime the drug policy, which prohibits any use of illegal drugs, paraphernalia or drug activity, is determined broken, parents are notified on the first offense. If a student is under 21, their parents will be notified on the second alcohol offense.
Jane Tuttle, the assistant vice provost for student affairs, said the policy is in place because students violating the policies often struggle academically.
"We started tracking the GPAs of the students who we send out parental notifications for," Tuttle said. "What we've found is those students' GPAs are on average 25 to 30 percent lower than our average KU GPA."

CAREER
Don't get duped by unpaid internships
NIKKI WENTLING
nwentling@kansan.com
On the road to gaining full-time employment, a paid internship is now a key pit stop.
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) 2012 Student Survey, 60 percent of 2012 graduates who previously had paid internships received job offers, 37 percent of graduates who had unpaid internships received offers, as well as 35 percent of graduates with no internship experience.
Erin Wolfram, assistant director at the University Career Center, said having hands-on experience is crucial at this point in time.
The study reads that nearly all employers expect to pay their interns.
And, there may now be more of an opportunity for paid internship positions. The number of internship hires increased by 8.5 percent this summer, according to a NACE Internship Survey.
A study done by Intern Bridge, Inc. two years ago found that unpaid internships were outpacing paid positions. But, as the number of lawsuits filed by unpaid interns goes up, companies may be taking a more cautious route.
"I do think that more recently with the economy being not so great, they have become even more important," Wolfram said. "Students are not only competing with each other, they're competing with other people who have been in the workforce for several years."
This past July, a group of interns were granted class-action status in a lawsuit against Hearst Corporation. The interns worked for 19 different Hearst magazines.
As of Oct. 10, the lawsuit against Fox Searchlight that began with two interns who worked on Black Swan has expanded to include all interns in the Fox Entertainment Group internship program.
Both internship programs are accused of not following criteria put forth by the U.S. Department of Labor in the Fair Labor Standards Act, which includes the stipulation that an unpaid intern should be given an educational environment, and there should be no immediate advantage for the employer.
Hannah Sitz, a junior from Andover who interned with Coro Kansas City this summer, said she considered only paid internships. The idea of working for free seemed irrational to her.
"Undoubtedly, internships can be a great learning and career advancement opportunity," Sitz said. "But I also think many companies abuse this, and I would personally be hesitant to participate in an unpaid internship or one without a living stipend, especially considering living costs if you intern in an urban city."
What is an unpaid internship?
This may seem obvious, but don't get duned, to be designated as an unpaid internship, the job must meet each of these criteria, which were put forth by the U.S. Department of Labor in the Fair Labor Standards Act. If it doesn't meet these points, you should be getting
paid.
1. The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment;
2. The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern;
3. The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under
4. The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded;
5. The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship, the employer and the interm understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.
However, Wolfram said to not be
weary, that an unpaid internship is still a viable way to spend the summer.
"You have to look at it like a long-term investment," Wolfram said. "You could potentially get hired on full-time from that company."
About half of the internships that the career center posts are unpaid, and Wolfram thinks it is feasible for students to work an unpaid position into their fall, spring or summer schedules.
"Employers do understand that students are students first. They are pretty flexible with hours, so students can juggle the internship, their course load and potentially a part-time job as well," she said.
RJ Zeiler, a junior from Olathe, was an intern at Kansas City Power and Light this summer. He evaluated performance-monitoring software for the company, getting the opportunity to see what an actual engineering job would be like.
Though Zeiler thinks that the internship will stand out to potential employers and increase his chances of getting a job after graduating, he is not sure if he would have taken it if this were an unpaid position.
"I think an unpaid internship is okay for an entry-level job, maybe for younger students to get experience," Zeiler said. "But, with older students who have had previous experiences, I think it's a little bit unfair to not pay up for that time. If they're giving you real work, they should be giving you real money."

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks in Portsmouth, Ohio. Winning Ohio is complicated, with its variety of voter groups and swinging trends. Diverse in geography, economy and demographics, Ohio is a state that one political scientist says offers a fairly close mirror of the nation. History and electoral math say the swing state is pivotal again this year, and probably crucial for Mitt Romney to win. President Barack Obama is trying to repeat his 2008 victory.

History and electoral math say Ohio and its 18 electoral votes are

pivotal again this year, and probably crucial for Republican Mitt Romney. No Republican has been elected president without carrying Ohio; John F. Kennedy in 1960 was the last Democrat to win without Ohio. And presidential races in Ohio usually are very close, adding to the campaign intensity.
How close?
Over the last three presidential elections combined, with some
16 million votes cast, the difference between the two sides comes down to a total 21,396 votes more for the Republican candidates. George W. Bush won two of those elections, including clinching his re-election in 2004 by the equivalent of about 1 percent of Ohio's population. Bill Clinton's winning margin over Bush's father in 1992 was even tighter.

KENNEBUNK, Maine — Police on Monday released the first round of names of more than 100 men accused of paying for sex with a Zumba instructor who's charged with turning her dance studio into a brothel in this seaside community.
The release of 21 names followed 11th-hour legal wrangling, and some residents watched the news flash on their local evening TV news.
Kim Ackley, a local real estate agent, said that disclosure of the names will cause temporary pain for families but it's only fair because others who are accused of embarrassing crimes don't get breaks.

NIAMEY, Niger — Six aid group employees were abducted from the guesthouse in a central Niger town, officials and witnesses said Monday.
Men in two Toyota pickup trucks pulled up to a guesthouse in the town of Dakoro late Sunday and seized five Nigeriens and a worker from Chad, said Sidi Mohamed, the governor of the Maradi region.
Local authorities have mounted a search operation, and they say they have surrounded the abductors in an area more than 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of Dakoro.
"Presently, they are in Tassara, in that zone over there. They are encircled. They wanted to drive toward Mali — it seems obvious
that these were elements of AQIM," said the Prefect of Bermo, Idrissa Hassane, using the acronym for Al Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, the local affiliate of al-Qaida. "I am hopeful that we will be able to catch them."
All six Africans work for the aid group "Bien-Atre de la femme et de 'Enfant au Niger," or "Well-Being of the Mother and Child of Niger," known by its French acronym of BEFEN. The Niamey-based aid group has about 250 local employees, around 100 of which are based in Dakoro where they run a clinic for severely malnourished children, said the group's national coordinator Dr. Sayadi Sani.
Dakoro has become a hub for international aid workers, including organizations like CARE
International and Oxfam, which use Dakoro as a base to carry out projects in the grasslands that extend to the north, home to the dwindling nomadic communities who still live off of their herds of camels and cows.
Mohamed, the governor of the Maradi region which includes Dakoro, said the abductors were likely looking for foreign national.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL, BASE,
Cuba — Five Guantanamo prisoners
charged in the Sept. 11 attacks
returned before a military tribunal
Monday, forgoing the protest that turned
their last appearance into an unlyl
13-hour spectacle.
Prosecutors and lawyers spent hours arguing the most preliminary of issues, including whether the defendants have to be in court at all, with one attorney saying the hearings may dredge up bad memories of their harsh treatment in CIA detention.
"I don't want to be subjected to this procedure that transports me here, brings up memories, brings up emotions of things that happened to me," said Jim Harrington, who represents Ramzi Binalshih, accused of helping to provide support to the hijackers who crashed planes into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001.
The five men sat quietly at the defense tables under the watchful eyes of military guards and several 9/11 family members at the U.S. base in Cuba. Mohammed, his beard dyed a rust color with henna, seriously read legal papers. Two others responded politely to the judge when asked.
All seemed to cooperate with their attorneys in a specially designed hightech courtroom that allows the government to muffle sounds so spectators behind a glass wall cannot hear classified information.
The orderly scene was in stark contrast to their arraignment in May on charges that include terrorism and murder.

25 primate species reported to be near extinction

NEW DELHI — Twenty-five species of monkeys, langurs, lemurs and gorillas are on the brink of extinction and need global action to protect them from increasing deforestation and illegal trafficking, researchers said Monday.
listed as most threatened.
Six of the severely threatened species live in the island nation of Madagascar, off southeast Africa. Five more from mainland Africa, five from South America and nine species in Asia are among those
The report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature was released at the United Nations' Convention on Biological Diversity being held in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad.
Primates, mankind's closest living relatives, contribute to the ecosystem by dispersing seeds and maintaining forest diversity.
Conservation efforts have helped several species of primates that are no longer listed as endangered, said the report, prepared every two
years by some of the world's leading primate experts.
The report, which counts species and subspecies of primates across the world, noted that Madagascar's lemurs are severely threatened by habitat destruction and illegal hunting, which has accelerated dramatically since the change of power in the country in 2009.
Among the most severely hit was the northern sportive lemur, with only 19 known individuals left in the wild in Madagascar.
"Lemurs are now one of the
world's most endangered groups of mammals, after more than three years of political crisis and a lack of effective enforcement in their home country, Madagascar," said Christoph Schwitzer of the Bristol Conservation and Science Foundation, one of the groups involved in the study.
"A similar crisis is happening in Southeast Asia, where trade in wildlife is bringing many primates very close to extinction," Schwitzer said.
633 types of primates are in danger of becoming extinct because of human activity such as the burning and clearing of tropical forests, the hunting of primates for food and the illegal wildlife trade.
More than half of the world's
While the situation appears dire for some species, wildlife researchers say conservation efforts are beginning to pay off, with several primates being removed from the list, now in its seventh edition.

Flu vaccines offered on campus this month
ELLY GRIMM egrimm@kansan.com
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Student Health Services is helping students combat the flu by offering flu clinics throughout this season. Kansas health officials are expecting the state to have another relatively mild flu season, but they're still encouraging shots for nearly everyone 6 months or older.
Flu shots, which cost $15, will be offered by the Student Health Services staff today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Kansas Union; Monday, Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Strong Hall; Thursday, Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in The Underground; Monday, Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Anschutz Library and Thursday, Nov. 1 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Appointments can also be made at Watkins Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. by calling 785-864-9507.
The flu season typically starts in early October, but the state has yet to receive a report of any influenza cases. Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer said it's still wise to get a shot to reduce the chances of spreading the illness.
Kansas Health and Environment Secretary Robert Moser said the state's 2011-2012 flu season was relatively mild because the winter weather was warmer than normal. He said the state is expecting the same pattern this winter.
Roxie Dohogne, a registered
nurse at Watkins Memorial Health Center, says that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people get vaccinated as soon as the 2012-2013 flu season vaccine becomes available in the their community.
"Influenza seasons are unpredictable, and can begin as early as October and it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against the flu," she said. "The sooner you get vaccinated the better."
vaccinated the booster Dohogne also discussed preventative measures that students can take, including avoiding contact with sick people, frequent hand washing, drinking liquids and getting plenty of sleep.

Mexican drug lord's daughter arrested
Alejandrina Gisselle Guzman Salazar, 31, was arrested Friday at San Diego's San Ysidro port of entry and charged with fraud and misuse of visas, permits and other documents.
SAN DIEGO — The daughter of one of the world's most sought-after drug lords has been charged with trying to enter the United States on someone else's passport, U.S. officials said Monday.
Two U.S. officials said Monday that she told authorities her father was Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, leader of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were
CRIME
not authorized to discuss the arrest publicly.
A woman under that name was charged Monday in federal court in San Diego. Kelly Thornton, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office, said she could not confirm that the woman charged was Guzman's daughter.
Guzman Salazar hired Jan Ronis, whose roster of clients with links to organized crime has included Benjamin Arellano Felix, the fallen leader of the eponymous drug cartel that was one of Mexico's most powerful. Ronis said he was just learning about the case and declined to comment on the charges.
The complaint said Guzman Salazar attempted to enter the country on foot, presenting a non-immigrant visa contained in a Mexican passport. She told authorities that she intended to go to Los Angeles to give birth to her child.
Guzman Salazar told authorities that she was pregnant, according to the U.S. officials.
The significance of the arrest will depend on what Guzman Salazar can tell authorities about her father, like whether she can provide phone numbers, said David Shirk, director of the University of San Diego's Trans-Border Institute.
"We don't know exactly what she knows," said Shirk. "It may just be an interesting factoid in the war on drugs or it could be a vital clue for law enforcement ... This is the kind
of random development that could potentially shift the tides"
The Los Angeles Times reported last year that Guzman's wife — former beauty queen Emma Coronel — traveled to Southern California and gave birth to twin girls at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, north of Los Angeles. The newspaper said Coronel, then 22, holds U.S. citizenship, which entitles her to travel freely to the U.S. and to use its hospitals.
"You kind of surmise that there's some family connection back to Southern California," Eric Olson, associate director of the Wilson Center's Mexico Institute said of the daughter's arrest.

The TV ads come in rapid succession and at all hours — in the middle of newscasts, soap operas and talk shows. They cover everything from jobs to education to trust, and they're sharply negative.
"It's just way too much," says Scot French, a history professor at the University of Central Florida. He lives along the swing-voting Interstate 4 corridor that will play an important role in deciding whether President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney wins the state, and perhaps the White House.
French is quick to criticize both political parties, calling the homestretch advertising deluge "a game of sowing confusion among those who are confusable."
It's all enough to turn off voters, leaving them frustrated and annoyed.
This is the risk facing the candidates and their allies as they spend huge sums of money before the Nov. 6 vote. It's a risk that both sides are willing to take, given that polls show the race remains close nationally and in the most competitive states such as Florida.
By the end, the campaigns and independent groups will have spent about $1.1 billion on television advertising this year, with $750 million already allocated in the handful of states likely to determine the outcome of the contest Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin, the Kantar-Campaign Media Analysis Group estimates.
At least some voters tuned out long ago. In interviews last week, many cited the negativity and lack of specifics in the commercials; others said they had already decided which candidate to support and didn't need to be persuaded.
Florida tops the list, with more than $150 million spent by both sides so far.

Computer-generated music impacts instrument sales

The rise in electronic music popularity has sparked a decline in instrument brands, such as Fender. Drum sets and guitars are now replaced by computers and synthesizers.
Here's a riddle: what has a smooth, elegant body with rockin' curves and tends to be a little high-maintenance?
A recent New York Times article titled "A Guitar Maker Aims to Stay Plugged In" reported these technological developments have hurt some instrument makers. Fender's overall profits have declined this year, and sales of all musical instruments in the U.S. are down nearly 13 percent from their peak in 2005, according to Music Trades Magazine.
The electric guitar, of course, which has been a leading part of popular music since the '50s. The innovation of putting transducer pickups on a piece of wood to capture electronic sound is an early example of modern technology's constant evolving role in musical creation. Now, thanks to programs such as Garageband and Logic and Pro Tools, a laptop can be a recording studio, and virtually anyone can produce music.
This statistic isn't too surprising at a time when the fossilized guitar lords of rock's bygone golden era have to play the Super Bowl half-time show to get noticed. And, as many would argue, why take the time to learn an instrument when fans flock by the thousands to see artists like Skrillex and Deadmaus push buttons and turn knobs?
Roberta Freund Schwartz, musicology division director for the University, doesn't foresee the popularity of digitized music leading to a decline in the importance of traditional instruments.
She said other factors could have caused lower sales in recent years.
Computers and the Internet are at the heart of aesthetic changes in pop music, but bands like MGMT and the Black Keys exemplify Schwartz's assertion that instruments are alive and well, and can coexist with digital effects. Schwartz also said the perception of how artists create sound may have changed, but skill and creativity remain crucial to any musical style.
"The economy is not very good, so many people either aren't buying instruments initially or are putting that off as a purchase," Schwartz said.
"With people like Skrillex and Diplo, it's largely about what I'm

New technology will always influence the sound of pop music for the same reason that I'm typing this article on a MacBook instead of a typewriter. But the demand for talented musicians isn't going away anytime soon. Video may have killed the radio star, but as Jimi Hendrix said, "That's all right, I still got my guitar."
going to put where, and having enough knowledge of the musical structure and what's going to get people dancing," Schwartz said. "To be able to do that well is different from just saying 'I'm an amateur in my bedroom and I made this.'"

Murder Mystery Dinner tonight in Kansas Union
Student Union Activities will be hosting their first Murder Mystery Dinner tonight. Before the event, each audience member will be given a specific role to play in order to help solve the murder mystery. The event will be interactive between the audience and the Jest Murder Mystery Co., a Kansas City-based acting troupe. The troupe has been "providing the USA with quality, professional dinner theater and murder mystery shows since 1999," according to its Facebook page.
"I just hope that it's a fun opportunity for students to get in the mood for Halloween and the season," Ball said.
Kelsey Ball, culinary coordinator for SUA, thinks it would be a good event to have every year.
and the season", Ball said.
In addition to partaking in solving
the mystery, a spaghetti dinner will
also be served.
Aside from this event, SUA also has a Halloween Open House planned for Oct. 31, an event they have hosted in years past.
The Murder Mystery Dinner will be held in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union, located on level 5. The event begins at 6:30 p. m. Tickets are $3 with a KU ID and can be purchased at the SUA box office in the Kansas Union.

What do we look for in a president? An obvious parameter to evaluate the candidates in the upcoming presidential election is the plan they present for tackling the problems of economic growth, unemployment, and the debt deficit. However, for the average voter, the debates leave us with a picture that is murky at best. When politicians quibble over arithmetic and change their platforms with the weather, it does little to help sort these issues out for people at home.
The awkward double take you do when you want to see what's on Wescoe, but you don't want them to approach
Factors like persona and charisma are undeniably invaluable to a leader. One of a president's key assets can be how they present themselves. We can see how we think about this in the debates when pundits analyze a
candidate's body language or when they give a speech and a reporter is left salivating over or lambasting someone's oratory deftness. We value these "intangibles" whether we are conscious of it or not, and I believe rightfully so. How a leader comes across to an audience, how they can shift the attitude of the country is one of the biggest impacts they can have as a president.

Unconditional love is not realistic
Kansas weather: Keeping you on your toes since the beginning of time.
Since childhood, we're taught that unconditional love is the highest form of love there is. We regard it as an ideal and strive to achieve it with our families, friends, and significant others. Unconditional love is usually applied to family and pillars of faith, but when we apply those same ideas to romantic relationships, that love can come at a terrible price.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
Some of my friends on Facebook frequently update about how much they love their husbands, boyfriends or whatever and how perfect they are. They say they love them so much and will forever. Then I think about my own boyfriend. I love him, but what I feel is not unconditional. My feelings for him have boundaries. And so should everyone else's.
But when you're caught in the moment of a great relationship and not nearly as much of your week is devoted to thinking about dating as mine is, love can leave you blind and lead your brain astray — literally.
In fact, according to scientists at the University College London in the United Kingdom reported in the journal NeuroImage that romantic love suppresses brain waves associated with critical social assessment of other people and negative emotions.
In other words, once you get close to a person (i.e. falling in love), the brain has a reduced need to evaluate the nature of said person and nearly stops harboring negative emotions towards him. In the end what we're left with is a skewed sense of our partners that can lead us
It may be cynical, but the best thing anyone can do in a relationship is imagine his or her life without his partner and be honest about the conditions in which he should no longer love the other. I got over the ideal of unconditional love five years ago when my first love ended, and as far as dating is concerned, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
to at least aspire to love unconditionally.
The breakup with unconditional love can be difficult, but we all need to do it. If we don't, it could wind up leaving us crushed in the end. They say breaking up is hard to do, but here, it's a must.
To make a relationship work in the first place, we have to master the art of compromise, tolerance, and respect. But if we don't address our own needs and expectations of our partners first, the desire to maintain unconditional love in and of itself can become compromising.

Many viewers may find Cattrall's character selfish, but her message is too important to miss. After all, in a world in which we can't always count on our romantic partners to pull through and give us everything we need and more, unconditionally loving them can be poisonous.
According to Laurie Puhn,
author of "Fight Less, Love More:
5-Minute Conversations to
Change Your Relationship without
Blowing Up or Giving In."
when certain non-negotiable factors are missing in a relationship, love does (or needs to) dissolve.
To love unconditionally is to put oneself at risk of being taken
Most days after work I like to get into my happy place by watching "Sex and the City." Twice in the entire saga, Samantha Jones (Kim Cattarrl) utters a variation of "I love you, but I love me more." The line is genius, and last week, it got me thinking about unconditional love.
Puhn advocates that the five factors in a relationship that are essential to all people are appreciation, respect, compassion, trust and companionship. And when one of those is not provided, the relationship is destructive and can leave those in it wondering how unconditional the love they share really is. Your needs have to be met first.
advantage of or abused.
Finally, like many students at the University, I'm a firm believer in the beauty and power of a great relationship, whatever kind of relationship that is. But what I always believe in is unconditional love for the self first and significant other second.
And when we maintain that ideal, the conditional and healthy love that we share with others can finally begin to really fall into place.

Writing essays and papers for college is one of the most time consuming tasks we have to do throughout our student life. It is a typical Facebook topic ("OMG!!! I have a 10-page paper due tomorrow") and a major academic pain. To international students like me, the pain tends to be even bigger. I used to take forever when writing my papers, and it became a real problem. I knew I had to change my approach to writing when I barely passed my general education English requirement class with a D.
BREAK IT DOWN, BUILD THE STRUCTURE
The system really came to life over the past summer, when it saved me up to 15 hours a week. I was in a class in which we were required to write four-page long reading notes almost every single class, five times a week. On the first day, it took me about four hours to write the notes. I asked other people from my class and they were also spending about four hours on it. I realized that was too much time, and using this system, I cut the time spent by 75 percent, and enjoyed the summer much more than I would have otherwise.
The main issue for me was not quite the quality of the writing, but the time I spent doing it. It just took forever, and because I had so many other things to do, I did not have the time to sweat a lot over a single paper. Fortunately, I figured out a system that helps me to write well and quick. This three step system is a mix between tips from other writers, business principles, and things I learned while testing different ideas.
Break down your paper into parts. This might sound a little bit obvious, because we all learn in high school to divide our texts in intro, body and conclusion. But you have to go one step further, and break down these parts also. To do that, decide on your talking points and write them down first, building the foundation for your paper. This is like establishing a road map: you know what you will be talking about, and have laid out your points. Now you only have to connect the dots, which is a much easier job than have to write every single paragraph "from scratch."

KNOW WHEN TO CALL IT A DAY
Obviously, sometimes your work will not be a masterpiece, as this could make you wonder whether this is a really good idea. But I believe on Mark Zuckerberg's mantra that "Done is better than perfect." He built Facebook based on this principle, and I think it is safe to say it will work on our own writing assignments.
ILLUSTRATE
This is probably the most important tip on this column, and might also help you in assignments other than writing if you give it a shot. Define how much time you will spend writing. To do that, discover how much this specific assignment is worth to you. Is it worth 1 percent of your final grade? 10 percent? 25 percent? 50 percent? Some assignments are worth spending a lot of time on, because an outstanding job on them will generate a high benefit. Some aren't worth a lot of your time, because they will barely give you any results.
Make your text more vivid with examples and stories. For instance, I used the Facebook example to illustrate my point on the paragraph above.
Illustrating has two objectives: support your argument, and fill the page, so that you reach your page or word count requirement as quick as possible. Also, you can add some pictures and graphics if the assignment allows. This alone could lighten your burden a whole lot.
This little system has been working really well for me. Of course I still get stuck sometimes, and the three steps do not write the text automatically for you. But they completely changed the way I write and, quite literally, saved my summer

Search continues for body of teenage girl
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DOVER, N.H. — An actor and martial arts instructor accused of killing a female University of New Hampshire student last week was upbeat and described his life as "really good" three days after the woman's death, an acquaintance said Monday.
NEW HAMPSHIRE DEPARTMENT OF SAFETY
Division of State Police
MARINE PATROL
Seth Mazzaglia, of Dover, was charged Saturday with second-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott, who vanished a week ago and whose body has yet to be found. He is accused of strangling or suffocating her in his apartment Tuesday night; the search for the body has been focused on Peirce Island in nearby Portsmouth.
Mazzaglia, 29, didn't speak during a brief arraignment via video feed Monday, and his court-appointed attorneys didn't object to the prosecutor's request that he be held without bail.
The New Hampshire Marine Patrol continues to search the Piscataqua River for the body Elizabeth "Lizzy" Marriott, a missing University of New Hampshire student on Monday in Portsmouth. N.H.I.29-year-old Seth Mazzaglia was held without bail Monday on a charge of strangling or suffocating Marriott.
Marriott, of Westborough, Mass., was living with an aunt in Chester, N.H., and commuting to the university in Durham, where she was majoring in marine biology. She was last heard from Oct. 9 when she made plans to visit friends in Dover after attending a class, but never showed up. Her cellphone was last used in Dover that night, according to fliers that family members posted, but authorities said her car was
But Craig Faulkner, who works at a theater company where Mazzaglia had auditioned, said he chatted with Mazzaglia for about 20 minutes on Friday while shopping at Best Buy in Newington. Mazzaglia, who was working in the store's video game section, told him: "Life is good," said Faulkner, producing artistic director at Seacoast Repertory Theatre in Portsmouth.
"I just asked him, 'How are things?' He said, "Things are really good," Faulkner told The Associated Press.

found several miles away in a parking lot on campus in Durham.
Family and friends spent several frantic days searching for her before charges were announced over the weekend. Police have not said what led them to arrest Mazzaglia or how he knew Mariotti.
"They were familiar with each other," Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said Monday.
Young said "credible information" has prompted authorities to focus search efforts on the water around the 27-acre island that separates the city of Portsmouth from the Piscataqua River. Marine patrol officials have been using sonar and an underwater camera, she said, but the river's currents and eddies have hampered their efforts.
"The search in that area may last several more days. They have not exhausted that search," she said. "We have not discussed an end date. We have discussed continuing this until we find her."
Authorities in Maine and Massachusetts also have been notified in case her body washes up there, Young said.
Mazzaglia graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2006 with a degree in theater, Faulkner said. He was known as the "go-to guy" for fight choreography in the area.
Faulkner described Mazzaglia as a quiet, respectful guy but also as someone with a nerdy vibe that made him a bit of "an odd duck."
"He's just a little unusual. ... I don't really know how to explain it," he said, "You don't meet him and go, 'Wow, that guy's a murderer.'"
Faukner said he never ended up casting Mazzaglia, called him more of a character actor than a leading man. He said Mazzaglia has an advanced black belt designation.
"What I thought about is, I shook his hand two times and if he actually did this. It was one of those, Are you ... kidding me moments?" Faulkner said.
Friends and family have described Marriott as a fun-loving, trusting young woman with a wide circle of friends who was active in chorus and a prom queen in high school.
She loved animals, volunteered at the New England Aquarium and helped put herself through school by working at Target.
Ken Ziniti, a store manager at the Target store in Greenland, said Marriott was one of the nicest young people he's met.
"Put a smile on everybody's faces," he said. "She worked all over the sales floor, always out in front of the guests."
University of New Hampshire professor David Kave, who once taught Mazzaglia in
an acting class, said Monday that he had been a hard-working student who had a special interest in stage combat. He said people at the school feel for the victim's family and are shocked and saddened by what's happened.
"Everybody is sort of reeling from all of this news," he said.

Sprint sells stake to Softbank
NEW YORK — Sprint, the No. 3 cellphone company in the U.S., is selling a controlling stake to Japan's Softbank for $20.1 billion.
The deal, announced Monday in Tokyo, positions Sprint Nextel Corp. as a stronger competitor to U.S. market leaders Verizon Wireless and AT&T, but it doesn't solve all of the company's underlying problems.
Sprint, which is based in Overland Park, Kan., has been limping along since 2005, when it bought Nextel. The merger quickly turned sour, saddling Sprint with the cost of running two incompatible networks while customers fled.
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse has laid the groundwork for a turnaround — the company's reputation for customer service has improved during his tenure. But his efforts haven't had an immediate impact on profitability. On its own, the
Softbank Corp., a holding company with investments in Internet and telecom businesses, made its own venture into the wireless world in 2005, with the acquisition of Vodafone Japan. It turned that business around, giving President Masayoshi Son the confidence that he can make Sprint a profitable company again after five straight years of losses.
"This is a transformative transaction for Sprint that creates immediate value for our stockholders..."

Under the deal, Sprint shareholders can turn in 55 percent of their shares to Softbank in exchange for $7.30 per share. Sprint shares were up just 3 cents at $5.76 in morning trading Monday, suggesting that investors had accurately pegged the value of the transaction last week, when
they sent the stock up 14 percent based on reports of talks between Softbank and Sprint.
Softbank's is paying $12.1 billion for the 55-percent stake. It's buying an additional $8 billion worth of shares from the company, for a total stake of 70 percent. That investment will dilute the value of existing shares, and is the reason Sprint's stock didn't trade higher on Monday.
"This is a transformative transaction for Sprint that creates immediate value for our stockholders, while providing an opportunity to participate in the future growth of a stronger, better capitalized Sprint going forward," Hesse said.
Analysts were more reserved in their judgment.
"While we believe it will take far more than capital for Sprint Nextel
to effectively compete with Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility, we believe the deal announced today, without question, strengthens Sprint's position in the long-run," said Christopher King at Stifel Nicolaus.
T-Mobile USA has its own plan: two weeks ago, it struck a deal to buy MetroPCS Communications Inc., the No. 5 carrier in the U.S.
Kevin Smithen at Macquarie Capital said the deal doesn't improve Sprint's access to space on the airwaves, which is critical to improving its wireless data network, nor does it provide a path to improving its profitability. A merger with T-Mobile USA, the No. 4 carrier, might still be needed to deal with those problems, he said.

C
1. Kansas State 6-0 (3-0)
Kansas State encountered a roadblock when it visited Iowa State on Saturday. But quarterback Collin Klein pulled through again and gave the Wildcats a crucial conference win on the road. Kansas State is now the only unbeaten team in the Big 12. (First last week)
O
2. Oklahoma 4-1 (2-1)
For the second consecutive game Oklahoma faced a ranked opponent. Oklahoma prevailed this time, shutting Texas down from the beginning. The Sooners routed the Longhorns and will stay at home for their next two games. (Third last week)
WV
3. West Virginia 5-1 (2-1)
Quarterback Geno Smith was nowhere to be found last week when West Virginia went down against Texas Tech. The Mountaineers struggled on both sides of the ball, and coach Dana Holgorsen must prepare his players for Kansas State this weekend. (Second last week)
T
4. Texas Tech 5-1 (2-1)
Texas Tech stunned the world on Saturday when it limited one of the most dominant offenses in college football to 14 points. The Red Raiders put their loss to the Sooners behind them and focused on beating the Mountaineers. (Ninth last week)
STATE
5. Iowa State 4-2 (1-2)
Iowa State knew it was time to step up with Kansas State coming into town. The Cyclones gave the Wildcats a run for their money, but their performance in the second half prevented them from pulling off the upset. Despite losing, Iowa State may want to move forward with Jared Barnett as their quarterback. (Fifth last week)
TCU
HORNED FROGS
6. Texas Christian 5-1 (2-1)
Quarterback Trevone Boykin had his best game since he took over for suspended Casey Pachall. TCU proved they can still be competitive in the Big 12 regardless of who their quarterback is and they have a good shot at finishing the season on a strong note. (Sixth last week)
7. Texas 4-2 (1-2)
After starting the season 3-0 Texas has hit a rough patch. The Longhorns have allowed 111 points in their last two losses and hope to turn things around against the Baylor Bears on Saturday night. (Fourth last week)
OKLAHOMA
STATE
UNIVERSITY
8. Oklahoma State 3-2 (1-1)
Oklahoma State put up a season-low 20 points on the road against Kansas, but the Cowboys survived after the Jayhawks gave them a fourth-quarter scare. Coach Mike Gundy knows his team must be able to score more points against lesser teams in the conference in order to finish in the top half. (Seventh last week)
BAYLOR BEARS
9. Baylor 3-2 (0-2)
Conference play has been rough on Baylor's defense after it allowed 119 points in its last two games. Statistically, quarterback Nick Florence had his worst game of the season and could see similar issues against the Bears' next opponent, Texas. (Eighth last week)
KU
10. Kansas 1-5 (0-3)
Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk
Kansas suffered another loss while still searching for its first conference win. Coach Charlie Weis replaced quarterback Dayne Crist and put in Michael Cummings, who almost completed a fourth quarter comeback win against Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks could have a new starting quarterback soon. (10th last week)

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
THE MORNING BREW The NFL,like all sports,needs irregularity
www.ussoccer.com
A: Graham Zusi
We've officially made it through six weeks of the regular season. To this point, we have learned a few things; most notably, it is incredibly difficult being a Chiefs fan. The inconsistency of the Kansas City Chiefs mirrors what we are seeing from the rest of the league.
And it's awesome. Here's why:
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
And its awesome. Here's why.
The NFL has been turned upside down this year by surprise teams such as the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals. The AFC East showcases all four teams deadlocked with 3-3 records.
Two divisions in the NFC - west and east - have all four teams separated by just one game. Not only are multiple teams in contention after a third of the season, some of the perennial powers of the league have been struggling thus far.
Last year's Super Bowl runner-up, the New England Patriots, find itself tied with each of its division members. Two of its losses are to Arizona and Seattle. Former MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are struggling and have lost two games to rookie quarterbacks.
It's not like we enjoy seeing this jumble in the standings. Fans love unpredictability. Great sports stories occur because no one believed that they could happen.
Raul Ibanez with two home runs after pinch-hitting for A-Rod in the bottom of the 9th in game five of the wild card round, that's cool stuff folks.
Watching Russell Wilson throw a 50-yard bomb to knock off the Patriots and Tom Brady to take a share of the division lead, that's why we watch sports.
soon read, then any way we go.
We are sulking on our couches on Saturdays and Sundays knowing the signal callers of our favorite teams are Michael Cummings and Brady Quinn - though I like what I saw from Cummings Saturday. We must have something else to watch. A story, a headline, anything; we are desperate for a reason to watch football.
The parody in the NFL gives us just that.
SPORTING KC FLYING UNDER THE RADAR
Beneath the heavy atmosphere of complaining in Kansas City, Sporting Kansas City is quietly having a fantastic season in the MLS.
While most of attention is falling on the lack of pitching on the Royals staff and the incompetent quarterback play and coaching of the Chiefs, Sporting is sitting alone atop the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer. Sporting has already clinched a playoff spot, something that just doesn't happen much in Kansas City.
The Royals currently have the longest playoff drought of any team in the four major sports, not clinching a berth since the World Series title in 1985. The Chiefs haven't won a playoff game since the 1993 season.
That would be the first year of Bill Clinton's time as president.
Sporting KC is perfectly piecing together the best franchise in the area. The management has brought quality players and coaching to the team. The stadium experience is not tops in the metro area. Most importantly, the culmination of these things has brought success to the team, and we all know winning fixes everything. Sporting has figured that out.
KU
In 2011, Sporting won the Eastern Division during the regular season and reached the semi-finals of the MLS playoffs and quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup. So far in 2012, they lead the Eastern Division, champions of the U.S. Open Cup, and have qualified for the CONCACAF Champions' Cup.
Moral of the story? Take a hint, Chiefs and Royals. You have to make moves to be a successful franchise. The Royals won't go get pitching and the Chiefs won't toss their QB and head coach.

Effects from Lance Armstrong's doping yet to be seen
It's not so much that the Lance Armstrong story was too good to be true. Now it might just be too good to let go.
Even after investigators unveiled a scathing report portraying him as an unrepentant drug cheat, Armstrong continues to confound his public with rivaling images: a rapacious, win-at-all-costs athlete or a hero who came back from cancer.
We've all heard his story before: An up-and-coming cyclist gets stricken with testicular cancer at age 25. He's given less than a 50 percent chance of surviving. Instead, he fights it off and comes back stronger. He wins the Tour de France seven times. Hobbons with presidents. Dates a rock star and pretty much becomes one himself. Uses his fame and success to raise millions to promote cancer awareness.
Even if it all really is the impossible fairy tale it sounds like one built on a brittle mountain of drugs, deception and arm-twisting — it's the narrative the world has happily listened to for nearly 15 years.
More than 1,000 pages of finely detailed evidence from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency are now in the open, supporting its decision to ban Armstrong for life from cycling and order his titles stripped for using performance-enhancing drugs. Yet while other sports stars
who have faced drug-induced downfalls — Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens — fade from memory or become objects of scorn, Armstrong keeps rolling along.
You can see it in social media. Sure, negative comments dot the landscape — people have put an "X" through the "v" on their Livestrong wristbands to make it read "Lie strong". But the tributes also keep coming: a few dozen new posts on a Facebook page
titled "Lance Armstrong Supporters," either vilify USADA or tell Armstrong they've got his back.
You can see it from the sponsors — Nike is one example that are sticking with Armstrong. You can see it in the donations to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which have spiked since August, when Armstrong announced he wouldn't fight the doping charges.
And it also shows in the way Armstrong steadfastly goes about
his business. On Thursday, the day after the USADA report came out, he was at his foundation headquarters in Austin, Texas, looking for a place to hang a picture. On Friday, he linked to his Twitter account a shiny new slide show touting the top 15 things his foundation has accomplished since it was founded, 15 years ago this month. Star-studded anniversary celebrations are in the works.

COMMENTARY Family Over Everything
By Geoffrey Calvert
gcalvert@kansan.com
For Bill Self, the most important part of his son, Tyler, on the Kansas basketball team isn't his talent. Tyler only averaged 3.9 points per game last season at Lawrence Free State High School, and given Bill's knack for recruiting, there will always be more talented guards ahead of Tyler on the roster.
But as a father-son combo for the next four years, Self can make up for all the times during Tyler's childhood where he had to put work ahead of his son's activities.
"The thing that I'm most excited about is I get a chance to see him everyday." Self said. "I think so many times we take things like that for granted and here he is almost grown, he's in college, and I feel like I've cheated myself and him many opportunities to spend time together because we're busy doing our job."
It's no secret that the layhawks pride themselves on being more of a family than a basketball team. The program adopted the mantra Family Over Everything (FOE) two years ago during the Morris twins' final season in Lawrence. The slogan took on an even deeper meaning following the death of Thomas Robinson's grandparents and mother two seasons ago.
This season, Family Over Everything applies to actual family. And yes, it is likely that many Division I coaches, not just Self, would invite their son to play for them if roster space permitted.
But when Self spoke about his son during the team's media day on Oct. 11, it was evident he doesn't care if Tyler averaged 20 points a game or zero. What he does care about is that every day will be Take Your Child to Work Day.
"Now I get a chance to do my job and spend time with him," Self said. "That's probably gotten me about as excited to coach this team as anything. And got my batteries charged because I get to hang out with my son."
Maybe Self has seen potential recruits play more times than he saw his son play in high school. Maybe Self's team was on a road trip when Tyler missed curfew, leaving Tyler to face his mother's wrath. Maybe Tyler never missed curfew at all.
Whatever father-son moments Bill missed out on as Tyler grew up, they'll now get to experience a father-son relationship that few get to have.
But Self won't be the only coach with a son on the team. Norm Roberts is back at Self's side for the first time since the 2003-2004 season after serving as St. John's head coach for six seasons, and then as an assistant at Florida. Roberts will be reuited with his son, Niko, a junior guard on the basketball队。
—Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk
Don't forget Evan Manning, the son of former assistant coach Danny Manning, who left an imprint at Kansas as a player and assistant coach. Although Danny is now the head coach at Tulsa, Evan at least gets to continue his father's legacy, although Evan isn't expected to get much playing time either.

If you're holding your breath to see who will start at quarterback for Kansas against Oklahoma on Saturday, grab another sense of air
On Monday morning's teleconference, coach Charlie Weis held off the decision for a while longer, saying that he needed to study both Dayne Crist and Michael Cummings further before giving an update at his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
"What I need to do, as we're

Michael Cummings entered Kansas' 20-14 loss to Oklahoma State late in the third quarter and commanded two scoring drives for the Jayhawks as they attempted a last minute comeback.
While it may have been Cummings who sparked the comeback, it was running back James Sims that led it.
early in the game planning stages for Oklahoma, is see exactly what puts us in the best chance of winning" Weis said. "Once we've gotten all the information I'll go ahead and say who that is."
the jayhawks had won the fourth quarter. And for Weis and his team, it was one giant step in a positive direction.
"He runs tough, he gets the edge, he picks up the blitz and he helps us in the passing game. In the fourth quarter when the game was on the line and we kept feeding it to him, the team really rallied around how tough he was running," Weis said.
Weis said that despite his disappointment over the loss, he was proud of how the team fought.
"It wasn't like we were waiting for something bad to happen, we were trying to make something good happen," he said.
Texas, the layhawks will need every advantage they can get.
Kansas will now enter the practice week with a legitimate quarterback battle and momentum to build from. Against a No. 10 ranked Sooners team that beat
It was the first time all season
Weis said that since Sims has returned, he's been a work horse for the team.
"They are well coached, have good players and are physical," Weis said of Oklahoma. "That's the game they play, they don't try to beat you by trickery and deceit, they just line up and try to smash you in the mouth. It's kind of old-fashioned defense and they are really good at it."

Sooners prepare with consistency
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
Bob Stoops isn't looking ahead to the Sooners next big showdown against No. 5 Notre Dame. Instead, he wants to focus on beating the Jayhawks this weekend.
"We prepare the same every single week," Stoops said during the Big 12 teleconference on Monday. "There will one name up on the board for who we are preparing for this week and that will be Kansas. It's all we're thinking about and it's never been any different."
Stoops said the Sooners are looking to stop everything the jayhawks do, whether that's running or passing.
The Sooners allow just 17 points per game, ranking 20th in the nation.
SOONERS' DEFENSE
"If you really pay attention, three of our touchdowns have been given up by our reserves," Stoops said. "We have our two and threes giving up three touchdowns in the last two weeks, where the starting defense has only given up one."
Stoops said he is very pleased with how his defense has played thus far, especially the starters.
Oklaahoma coach Bob Stoops answers a question during an NCAA football news conference in Norman, Oka. Having moved on from the first loss of this season, No. 13 Oklahoma faced a pivotal Red River Rivalry showdown Saturday against No. 15 Texas as both teams tried for the title title.
SUCKERSF
ASSOCIATED PRESS
During the teleconference, Kansas coach Charlie Weis raved
about the Sooners' defense. He said they just play and don't try to trick anybody.
"Mike believes in being disciplined and very technique-oriented and being physical," Stoops said. "I think it's always true in our belief that you don't play great defense by trying to trick people or trying to blitz.
"But we pick our times when we do change it up and blitz, but we're counting on our technique and fundamentals and playing good solid defense to win for us. Not trying to fool somebody and run a particular blitz, just to try to stop somebody."
Stoops said that bringing in his brother Mike has had a lot to do with that.
The Sooners' defense ranks 14th in the nation in total yards allowed. Stoops said it wasn't surprising that they are playing well.
"I think it's been maybe a surprise to everyone, not us, but how well our front four are playing." Stoops said. "I thought at the beginning of the year, they'd be a strong group for us and now people are seeing more and more that they are a really good unit."
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO SCORES
Senior quarterback Landry Jones was taken out several times
during the last five games when he was near the redzone to allow backup quarterback sophomore Blake Bell to have some touches.
But Stoops said this doesn't bother Jones or anyone else who is replaced near the redzone.
"They've all handed it well because it doesn't matter," Stoops said. "They're a part of a touchdown. It all goes to the offense.
The important thing is we get in the end zone."

Hiking to save the wetlands
nwentling@kansan.com
NIKKI WENTLING
In June, Julia Trechak, Jackson Shaad and 11 other students hiked the last leg of the path, retracing the steps that Native Americans walked in 1938 during the Potawatomi Trail of Death. In Twin Peaks, Ind., people from the community welcomed the group. Students from Haskell Indian Nations University and the University of Kansas walked the trail in reverse, from Osawatomie, Kan. to Twin Peaks, as part of their 1,100 mile, two-month excursion to Washington D.C.
The walk, organized by Haskell student Millicent Pepion, was an effort to raise awareness about the environmental concerns surrounding the construction of the South Lawrence Trafficway (SLT).
For more than 20 years, there has been a legal battle over the construction of the SLT, a six-mile, four-lane freeway that will connect the west leg of K-10 to K-10 east of Lawrence. The SLT will take up a portion of the Baker Wetlands, something that these students and several other groups are concerned about. Also, the wetlands are considered a sacred area to some staff and students at Haskell.
Julia Trechak, a senior from Wichita, participated in the walk to D.C. She helped map the route and publicize the walk, which the group refers to as the "Trail of Broken Promises."
"I got involved because I think that the issue has been handled insensitive," Trechak said. "The wetlands are so bound to Haskell's history."
Jacks on Shaad, a Wichita resident, joined the walk to promote the Native America Sacred Land Act, which pushes for the involvement of Native Ameri-

allow the Kansas Department of Transportation to construct the SLT.
The deadline to seek a Supreme Court review of the court's decision passed last week; the plaintiffs did not seek a review, so the court's ruling is now final.
"A lot of times, people in Washington or Topeka don't really consult these groups that are underrepresented," Shaad said. "They don't really consider their claims legitimate."
cans in processes to determine what land is sacred.
The group of students departed Lawrence on May 13 and arrived back in Kansas in early July. Just seven days after the group's return, the U.S. 10th Circuit of Appeals announced its decision, which will
"All of us who went on the walk, we still care so much," Trechak said. "But at this point, we're at a stand-still."
KDOT plans to start construction on the SLT next fall; it announced an expected completion date of May 2016.

"It's a very good situation for the wetlands, not just for Baker, but for the community," said Roger Boyd, director of natural areas at Baker. "People will be able to come out and appreciate the wetlands in the future."
Baker Wetlands, KDOT will provide Baker University with more than 300 acres, which will be restored to wetlands, prairie and native hardwoods. KDOT will also provide funds to build a wetlands visitor's center.
In exchange for 56 acres of
Boyd started working with KDOT on mitigation in 2001, when the new plan for the SLT was proposed. Boyd said he has restored old floodplain to wetlands before, and he knew he would be able to in this situation. He said the wetlands reduce floodwater, holding it back during heavy rains. The land filters sediments and chemicals and provides a habitat for threatened and endangered animals.
Boyd, who has served as director of natural areas for 25 years, is pleased with the compromise. Boyd, who is used to working with a yearly budget of about $500, said the extra funds were needed to better manage the land.
As for the opponents of the roadway, Boyd suggests that they were unwilling to compromise.
CRIME
"It's never been an issue about the wetlands for them," Boyd said. "They're only really concerned about a geographic area, which happens to be the wetlands. They're concerned about it because they consider it to be sacred, and I can appreciate that, but we're not paving the entire wetlands, we're taking 10 percent. The remaining 90 percent will be just as sacred as it is now."

Female KU student robbed at gunpoint
RACHEL SALYER
rsalery@kansan.com
The University issued a crime alert after a female student was robbed at gunpoint between Irving Hill Road and Stouffer Place Apartments Monday around 8 p.m.
According to the alert, she was on a swing set when a black man wearing a ski mask demanded her property and displayed a silver handgun. He left the area after she gave him a cell phone and an iPod.
The suspect was described as 6-foot-2, 170 pounds and wearing a gray hoodie.
Students signed up to receive text messages about special safety alerts were not notified. Instead, the alert was posted on the University's website under "KU Lawrence Campus Alerts".
Jill Jess, a University spokes
woman, said the text alert system was not implemented because alerts run on a tier-based system.
"Text messages are used to communicate an immediate danger or need for action," Jess said in an email. "Based on their investigation, police believed the suspect had left the area, so there was not an immediate danger."
Though the alert was not posted on the KU Office of Public Safety's website, Jess said it was tweeted by @KUNews, and area media outlets were notified as part of the tiered system.
No additional information has been released about the incident.
Anyone with information about the suspect's identity is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 785-864-8888 or the KU Public Safety Office at 785-864-5900.

Kansas updates driver's licenses
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Kansas driver's licenses are getting a new look and added security features to guard against counterfeiting and fraud.
"This is really all about security," lordan said.
The Department of Revenue showed off the new design at an event Tuesday with Gov. Sam Brownback and Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan. The changes include how the information is presented and additional security features hidden from the naked eye.
The fraudulent cards can be manufactured and obtained by criminals who engage in identity theft or human trafficking, he said.
Motorists will begin receiving the new licenses this week. Among the elements are photographs embedded on the back of the card that are visible only with ultraviolet light. Also gone is the black magnetic strip that once contained driver information.
For the first time the card has raised features that are difficult to duplicate, color photos of the Statehouse and sunflower, and two images of the cardholder on the front.
Kansas updates its driver's licenses every four to six years as technology changes. Donna Shelite, the state's director of vehicles, said the new licenses were part of ongoing technology and process changes aimed at improving security and customer service. For example, a change made in recent years ensures only one staff person handles a customer's business from start to finish to keep data secure.
Dean Reynoldson, head of the Kansas Alcohol Beverage Control division that also oversees the investigation of driver's license fraud, said bars, restaurants and liquor stores won't need any additional equipment to determine if the license is authentic.
Reynoldson said Kansas licenses were among the most secure in the nation and that counterfeiters typically gravitate to states where technology and safety measures are lacking.
"Most of the driver's license fraud that we see is not by underage people," he said. "It's a way to stay ahead of the curve."
KANSAN
The new cards only contain information collected by the state for driving purposes, but includes whether the individual is a registered sex offender, as required by law. No voter registration information, such as if the cardholder is receiving other benefits or services from the state or if they have outstanding criminal warrants, is available from the new license.
The University Daily Kansan is accepting applications for the spring 2013 editor-in-chief. The position is responsible for the editorial content of The University Daily Kansan and Kansan.com. Experience with the Kansan is preferred but

Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks in Portsmouth, Ohio. Winning Ohio is complicated, with its variety of voter groups and swinging trends. Diverse in geography, economy and demographics, Ohio is a state that one political scientist says offers a fairly close mirror of the nation. History and electoral math say the swate state is pivotal again this year, and probably crucial for Mitt Romney to win. President Barack Obama is trying to repeat his 2008 victory.
Republican group starts $11.1 million ad campaign for women
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A Republicanleaning independent group supporting Mitt Romney's presidential bid is spending $11.1 million on new television ads aimed at women.
The ad campaign, set to begin Tuesday and run for a week in eight closely contested states, is part of a big push before the Nov. 6 election.
Polls have shown President Barack Obama with a wide lead over Romney among women, but some surveys suggest that gap has narrowed recently.
The ad, "Sack It," shows a woman watching one of Obama's campaign commercials. "Mr. President, here's what I want to know," she says, asking about the jobs he has promised
to create and wondering what the federal spending he has pushed for has produced.
She ends by saying: "My family can't afford another four years like this." The line echoes a theme Romney has repeated several times on the campaign trail in recent weeks — "We can't afford four more years like the last four years."
Steven Law, president of American Crossroads, the group behind the ad, said in statement that Obama's "weak leadership has created a weak economy and a weaker America, and it's time to turn this ship around."
The group planned to air the
new ad on national and local cable stations, and in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.
American Crossroads was co-founded by Karl Rove, the longtime political counselor to former President George W. Bush. The group and its affiliated nonprofit, Crossroads GPS, plan to spend $300 million to influence elections this year. The groups have spent $135 million to date on ads for Romney.

Seven paintings stolen
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AMSTERDAM — Thieves broke into a Rotterdam museum on Tuesday and walked off with works from the likes of Picasso, Monet, Gauguin and Matisse potentially worth hundreds of millions.
Police haven't said how they pulled off the early hours heist, but an expert who tracks stolen art said the robbers clearly knew what they were after.
"Those thieves got one hell of a haul," said Chris Marinello, who directs the Art Loss Register.
“it's every museum director's worst nightmare,” said Kunshal
The heist at the Kunsthal museum is one of the largest in years in the Netherlands, and is a stunning blow for the private Triton Foundation collection, which was being exhibited publicly as a group for the first time.
director Emily Ansenk, who had been in Istanbul on business but returned immediately.
News of the theft "struck like a bomb," she said at a press conference in the museum's cafe.
She declined to reveal any details of how the thieves got in and out with the paintings, or how the museum is protected, other than describing its security as "state of the art" and "functional."
Willem van Hassel, the museum's chairman, said its security systems are automated, and do not use guards on site.
The collection was on display as part of celebrations surrounding the museum's 20th anniversary.
Police arrived at the scene five minutes after an alarm was triggered, he said. He described the museum's insurance as adequate for the exhibition.
Police spokeswoman Willemie
Rojinj said investigators were
reviewing videotapes of the theft,
which took place around 3 a.m. She
called on any witnesses to come
forward with information.
The Art Loss Register's Marinello said the items taken could be worth "hundreds of millions of euros" if sold legally at auction. However, he that was now impossible.
Interpol sent a bulletin alerting member countries to the theft, along with images of the stolen paintings.
The paintings were: Pablo Picasso's 1971 "Harlequin Head"; Claude Monet's 1901 "Waterloo Bridge, London" and "Charing Cross Bridge, London"; Henri Matisse's 1919 "Reading Girl in White and Yellow"; Paul Gauguin's 1898 "Girl in Front of Open Window"; Meyer de Haan's "Self-Portrait," around 1890, and Lucian Freud's 2002 work "Woman with Eyes Closed."

In March, religious conservatives picked outside of the shrine to Sayyeda Manoubia and distributed pamphlets condemning this "blasphemous" practice of venerating saints.

The attacks come as secularists increasingly worry that Tunisia's moderate Islamist ruling party is not confronting the extremist elements that have grown more active since the country's longtime dictator was ousted last year.
For centuries, local women have visited the tomb of the saint to ask for help with problems or to cure diseases, and many poor women seek sanctuary there.
The ministry quoted four women staying overnight at the shrine who said the attackers used flammable liquid to quicken the blaze
Hardline Islamists are suspected in the attack on the shrine of Sayyeda Aicha Manoubia, a 13th century holy woman. It was one of several recent assaults on mausoleums for local saints.
TUNIS, Tunisia — Five masked men on Tuesday stormed into a 500-year-old shrine to a female Muslim saint near the capital Tunis that had previously been threatened by religious conservatives and set it on fire, the Interior Ministry said.

HOROSCOPES
Because we know things we don't
Aries (Mar. 21-April 19)
Today is a 5
Work with a powerful team, and listen with intent. Don't act like you already know the answer or you'll miss a great opportunity. Creative work has a bittersweet flavor. Every little bit counts.
Gain experience and mastery.
Share the load today and tomorrow,
but hold on to the responsibility. And leave time in your schedule for romance. A bit of glamour won't hurt.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is a 6
Today and tomorrow, delive into the details. Hot soaks relax stressed muscles. Don't squander your resources, even if you think you have plenty. Learn from an expert.
Reserve the next two days for fun that's balanced with creative productivity. Extend your psychic antennae. Don't believe everything you've learned. Put in the work to reap rewards.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is an 8
Stick close to home for the next two days. Clean up and discover a treasure. Make room for love. Friends can help you find the perfect expert.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is an 8
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7
Practicing something you love goes very well now. Make sure you get all you earned. People know they can trust you to get down to the truth. Waste not, want not.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 6
The air is filled with romance.
Postpone travel for a few days. Start computing expenses. It'll be easier to make household changes soon, but don't obsess about it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 5
Your power is intense over the next few days. Handle it as well as you can. It's best to have a plan in place, even if you don't follow it. Everyone benefits at the end.
You're under pressure to complete a project that you've been avoiding. Roll up your sleeves and procrastinate no more (at least until later). Find out what rules apply. You win again.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7
You can find the right balance between work and friends. Listen to those who support you, and let your self-esteem rise. Don't forget to support others.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 7
Help comes from far away, possibly financial. Time to refinance? Do the homework and provide necessary information. Bring your quest for truth and social justice to work.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7
Adopt rules you can keep and let go of the ones you know won't. New opportunities arise. A private conversation soothes. Acceptance is key (and humor.)

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
Short films, big scares
ALEX LAMB
alamb@kansan.com
In a horror anthology, there's no time to mess around. "V/H/S" fully understands this, quickly developing its unnerving atmosphere as a group of degenerates breaks into a creepy old house searching for a valuable, mysterious videotape. This begins one of the most varied and unique entries in found-footage horror as they watch five tapes play out, each one featuring a different brand of horror story.
The first follows several 20-something guys out to pick up chicks at a bar. One of the women they take home, however, is not who she seems, and it doesn't take long before she starts taking advantage of them in the most frightening way imaginable.
This turns into the most terrifying piece of cinema I've seen all year and one of the most effective short films I've ever witnessed. While it perfectly sets the stage for the twisted violence, in-your-face intensity and anything-can-happen style of these stories, none of
the remaining four come close to reaching the heights of the first.
Not to say the others aren't worthwhile; only the middle segment about an otherworldly killer hunting four college kids in the woods feels disposable, mostly because of poor acting and rushed execution.
The final tape provides the most genre fun as a car-full of college guys go to a house for a Halloween night party. Upon arriving, however, they realize the home is both empty and haunted as they explore it. This one achieves a balance between legitimate scares and throwback enjoyment to old-school haunted house movies, with great implementation of CGI effects into aged VHS picture quality.
The second and fourth segments stand out for their simplistic approaches, eerie moods and buildings to disturbing conclusions. The second shows a married couple enjoying a road trip before discovering a young vagabond girl stalking them at their motel; the short film slowly ramps up from kind of creepy to full-on shocking.
Whereas the others are all found-footage from cameras, the fourth story is made up of a series of Skype conversations between a long-distance couple, in which the girl calls her boyfriend with her fear that something is haunting her apartment each night. The lo-fi sensibility makes it work, but the strange places the story goes make it stick.
With only 15-20 minutes for each short film to build its atmosphere, develop its characters and deliver plenty of scares, every second counts. The fact that each story holds several surprises too is only a bonus. So for those who like their thrills fast, furious and refreshingly efficient, "V/H/S" offers a hell of a lot more entertainment than any standard horror flick.

CRIME
- Edited by Sarah McCabe
FINAL SCORE:
Man swindles $15 million
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y.-Mark Hotton appeared on the high-stakes Broadway theater scene out of nowhere this year, offering to come to the financial rescue of a fledgling Broadway adaptation of the psychological thriller "Rebecca."
Although the musical's producers had never heard of Hotton, he successfully sold himself as a globe-trotting moneyman with connections to a wealthy Australian named Paul Abrams. That was before Hotton claimed that Abrams had suddenly dropped dead.
Hotton, 46, also was charged in two other swindles — one targeting a Connecticut-based real estate company and another that investigators say involved his wife and sister on Long Island.
Federal prosecutors charged Hotton on Monday with concocting a tale of phantom investors and an untimely death as imaginative as the classic Alfred Hitchcock film about a man haunted by the memory of his dead first wife.
A judge in federal court in Long Island ordered Hotton held without bail on Monday after prosecutors argued he was a flight risk.
In court papers, the government accused Hotton of creating a web of shell companies they likened to a Ponzi scheme that victimized people across the country to the tune of $15 million.
Hotton, a former stockbroker who lost his license last year, managed to "lull some investors into a temporary sense of security by allowing them to realize small returns on investments, while the remainder funded the Hottons' lifestyle," the papers say.
U. S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement.
He was to appear at another proceeding later in the week to face other charges he "perpetrated stranger-than-fiction frauds both on and off Broadway." Manhattan
In the "Rebecca" case, he "faked lives, faked companies and even staged a fake death," the prosecutor said.
Hotton's attorney declined to comment.
The planned $12 million production collapsed earlier this month amid questions about its financial backing.
Lead producer Ben Sprecher "is extremely gratified that Mr. Hotton has been taken into custody," said his attorney, Ronald Russo, adding that Sprecher has "cooperated completely with the investigation."

Dear short girls, stay away from Withey. Sincerely, tall girls.
It's called the quiet section for a reason. I didn't come to the library to hear you giggle or talk on the phone. CAN YOU READ THE SIGNS ON THE WALL?
What's this BS with the FFAs getting sentimental and serious? With that, has anyone seen my pet hamster? I lost him and I am sad.
I am so in love with my TA. He doesn't know it yet, but we're going to get married and live happily ever after when I graduate in four years.

Seize control of the present
You might have heard Mitt Romney claim on the campaign trail that half of college graduates can't find a job. According to the Associated Press in April, he's mostly right - 53.6 percent of bachelor's degree-holders under the age of 25 last year were jobless or underemployed. From an economist standpoint, we can understand that some may choose to stay unemployed until they find a job that fits their preferences. This can only go on for so long, however, before work becomes a necessity. This creates an interesting phenomenon common among young adults: we hate our jobs.
The leaves are falling! You know what this meams? Leaf tornadoes!
JOB OUTLOOK
According to CBS News in 2010, the Conference Board research group surveyed 5,000 households and found that 64 percent of workers under the age of 25 were unhappy with their jobs. Upon first glance, those numbers are just as bleak as the numbers Romney quotes out of the Associated Press. Upon further examination, it seems could be even worse.
Out of the 53.6 percent of graduates actually working, only 36 percent, bear with me, are "not unhappy" with their job. Being "not unhappy" does not mean that you are happy. By doing some quick multiplication, one can postulate that 19.3 percent (53.6 percent times 36 percent of people), upon graduating, are not unhappy with their job.

Of course, I cannot calculate the statistical certainty of this figure. The figures don't account for the difficulty associated with surveying and my immediate interpretations don't account for the fickleness of statistics. Despite this, consider how shocking that percentage is. Although the exercise is misleading, count out four others near you and think, "Out of us five people, only one of us will be happy with a job. Two of us are employed but are unhappy and, well, two of us are jobless or underemployed." That's 19.3 percent. Assume you're the 19.3 percent, happy at your job, and the other four people around
you are the unfortunate souls stuck in jobs they dislike or don't have jobs at all. That's the way it always works out, right?
Fortunately for us, statistics don't work this way. Fact: one of every five people is Chinese. Despite popular belief and demographic trends, the University of Kansas does not have 6,000 Chinese students strolling Jayhawk Boulevard. Still, consider the 19.3 percent for what it is. It's not some number you can ignore.
The worst part is that there isn't a clear path to being in the 19.3 percent. This isn't a column where I explain how to be happy at work.
This isn't some how-to guide debunking the myths of finding jobs when we graduate. The quoted figures are assuming we graduate. I'm in no position to be an authority on college success; I'm in the trenches, just like everyone else. Even so, don't you think there is something we can do? Do we have to just accept that we might be unhappy employees, unemployed, or perhaps, just cogs in a well-oiled machine? That's quite the gloomy, dark prognosis stemming from two articles and a few percentages.
I do have an idea that is not terribly unique, but still worth considering. Instead of worrying about where we will be when we graduate, what if we focus on what we're doing now? What if we were less concerned about how happy we will be when we finish our college careers and more concerned about finding joy each and every day? Which genie made us think that if we wanted to eat the cookies, we could never eat cookie dough? Which little snake whispered in
our ears that cooking was boring and that only eating was satisfying? Who made us think this way?
So who's the dumbass that wrecked into the invisible wall in front of Watson?
This hill is literally my least favorite thing about life.
My analogies are terrible. I can hardly use Microsoft Word's synonym feature. But really, think about it. Who says we have to put off enjoyment in order to achieve more in the future? Who says we have to be some statistic? What if we dream, we explore, we dabble, we appreciate today, not tomorrow. What if we sweat and labor right here right now? What if we look as time as something finite, not as a variable that increases our projected investments? Maybe if we learn to find happiness in whatever we are doing now, we can apply that skill when we graduate. Don't be scared of Romney and his Associated Press statistics. Embrace them for what they are, and move on and enjoy KU.

FAMILY
Take the time to reconnect
Take a moment and try to remember the last time you had a conversation with your mom. And not a "Yep, everything's good with me, could you send some more Beak 'Em Bucks?" type of conversation.
When was the last time you talked with your mom - or your dad, brother, sister, grandma, etc.
By Lindsey Mayfield
lmayfield@kansan.com
- about something deeper than how you did on your last exam or how much money is in your bank account? Was it yesterday? Last week? Last month?
It's so easy in college to get caught up in, well, college. Lawrence and KU are environments that can be all encompassing at times. Classes, sporting events, concerts, jobs and friends all demand our attention, wrapping us up in a world that revolves around college life, and by extension, around ourselves.
It may seem difficult to fit your family or hometown into that equation. That realization was especially clear to me over fall break. Even though Lawrence is only 30 miles from my home in Overland Park, being home for those four days felt like I was living someone else's life. Passing my high school each time I got in the car, attending the church where I received my First Communion and going to movies at the same theatre where my friends and I loitered as preteens were all strange reminders of my "former" life there.
Sometimes we have a tendency to put our families in that category, too. Now that we're college students we're expected to be independent, to not need our parents to hold our hands, to "check in" with our families instead of
making them part of our lives.
I don't believe that. Every family is different, and I am lucky that my family is just down the road, but being close with (and, god forbid, even needing) our parents should not be seen as a sign of weakness. Our childhoods, hometowns and high schools should not be tossed aside as embarrassing or no longer relevant.
Now that "Throwback Thursdays" are all the rage, take an opportunity to go through some old family photos. Look at pictures of you and your parents, grandparents and siblings. There was a time when these people were your world; they were all you knew. It's so easy to get caught up in college life without remembering the people who built us up and loved us and made it possible for us to be here.
Staying connected can be more difficult for students who are attending school far from home. I've always admired those who attend school far away from their families, whether it comes easily to them or not. It's something I was not prepared to do as an 18-year-old kid, and probably am not prepared to do now, either.
ences than I do. Their family dynamics are more casual, and their personalities are more independent. Some are completely comfortable seeing their parents only a few times a year, and that's great, even if it's a different perspective from mine.
However, many of these students have different life experi-
Still, I disagree with the idea that our parents and siblings are entities that only matter for the first 18 years of our lives. In the past few months, I've been overwhelmed by the misfortunes that have befallen some of my family friends and acquaintances: family members losing their jobs, getting seriously ill or even dying. It may sound cliché, but we really are just one phone call away from the same thing happening to us.
If your family is healthy and happy right now, count your blessings and give them a call. Better yet, make them an active part of your lives. Talk to them about their childhoods, ask them for advice on a situation you're facing, tell them about something you're looking forward to. You may find it lame or unnecessary, but I guarantee even five minutes will make their day. You may even find yourself enjoying reconnecting.
In the end, if god forbid something happens to one of the people you love, it won't matter if staying in touch felt cool or necessary, you'll just wish you'd done it.

This weekend, I watched "Swing Vote," a 2008 film in which Kevin Costner plays a blue-collar, average American who's faced with the daunting task of casting the deciding ballot in a deadlocked presidential election.
Just kidding, I didn't watch that movie. It's never on TV, and even if it was, I probably wouldn't watch it. Ever. Kevin Costner hasn't acted in a decent movie since "Field of Dreams," and even that's debatable.
But I remember seeing a commercial for "Swing Vote" years ago. I remember thinking to myself, "What if I was that guy? What if I was the last vote? What if I was the guy who chose the next President of the United States?"
What if? Don't get me wrong; I have my own political beliefs and affiliations, but at that point, you've got to table them. You have to go with your gut. A job as the leader of the free world is at stake and two grown men are left to spend every waking hour they to woo your vote. They're in the palm of your hand. The country is in the palm of your hand. You say, "jump," they say, "high吗?"
The polls are tight right now. Depending on where you look, some pollsters have President Barack Obama slightly ahead and others have Mitt Romney with a narrow lead. The odds against a tied election like in "Swing Vote" are more than overwhelming, though. There's almost no way that it would come down to one vote.
But, for the sake of this column,
let's say it does; let's say I have to
stay late in my lab that Tuesday
and I can't make it to the polls. The
whole country votes, the election is
tied, and I've got both Obama and
Romney, one-on-one, trying to win
my vote.
I'd have a few additional questions I'd want to ask them; questions they've never answered and questions they've never been asked. Relevance doesn't matter either, because we're playing by my rules: no spin-room, no advisors, nothing but honest, heartfelt answers.
President Obama's up first:
Listen, man, I've got a big, fat bone to pick with you after that garbage you tried to pull before this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament.

man. Did Biden tell you that was a
good idea? It wasn't. It was completely
and utterly inexcusable.
I know Mizzou was better than usual
and we weren't favorites, but come on.
The fact that you had "Faith in Haith" makes me question your judgment. How am I supposed to trust you to rein in the deficit when you backed a team with a fan base that can't even rein in a full set of teeth? You tell me.
I don't know if I can trust your judgment, either. I've read from several sources, including the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, that your favorite beverage is Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi. Are you friggin' kidding? DIET WILD CHERRY PEPSI? What in blue hell is going on here, Mitt? A lot of people think you probably drink it because you're a devout Mormon and you're apparently not supposed to drink caffeine. Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi has caffeine, though, and the church released a statement three weeks ago saying, "the church does not prohibit the use of caffeine." That leaves you with no excuse other than the fact that your favorite beverage is perhaps the biggest wussy of the carbonated cola family. Basically, if I pick you to win the presidency, I'm turning over the nuclear codes to a guy who drinks Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi. I'm not comfortable with that, Mitt. Man up and drink a regular Coke or enjoy remaining a former governor.
So let's pray this thing doesn't end in a tie and I'm the one who has to make the pick. Choosing between someone who picked Mizzo in the Final Four and someone who loves the wussiest beverage of all time could prove impossible.
But hey, there's always "enemy-meeny-miny-moe."

Jayhawks to face in-state foe
GEOFFREY CALVERT
ecalvert@kansan.com
Senior middle blocker Tayler Toilefree knows this is the match people will care about, even after the season ends.
"That's the matchup people ask about: 'Did you beat K-State this year, did you beat them twice, did you beat them here?' Tolefle said. "It's a pride thing, just being able to say you beat your in-state rival."
Kansas hosts Kansas State at 6:30 p.m. tonight in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, and the match will be even more meaningful this year. This is the first time ever the teams will face each other as ranked opponents. K-State, ranked 14th in the country, is 17-2 on the season and 4-2 in conference play. The No. 21 Jayhawks are 17-3 and 5-1.
"They really force their ball to the middle but play a little faster to the pin players," coach Ray Bechard said of the Wildcats. "They've got some good experience on the pin. Their setter does a good job moving the ball around."
The Wildcats went 22-11 last season, falling to Pepperdine in
the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. K-State's offense centers on junior middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger, who averages 3.92 kills per set.
Bechard said that they would try to contain Pelger, but they won't obsess with trying to stop her.
"She moves along the net and creates a lot of different angles for herself and opportunities," Bechard
said, "But if you spend too much time on her, they've got a number of other weapons that will up biting you."
"That's the matchup people ask about. 'Did you beat K-State this year, did you beat them twice, did you beat them here?'""
tter Catherine Carmichael gave the lavihawks a career-high 18 kills.
Many times this season, other teams have spent too much time trying to stop the Jayhawks' middle blockers, Tolefree and junior Caroline Jarmoc, and other Jayhawks responded with strong offensive performances. When Baylor used that strategy, sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton responded with a team-high 15 kills for Kansas. Oklahoma did the same thing, and junior outside hit-
Tolefree said having the defense focus on her and Jarmoc opens the door for other hitters to succeed, and it doesn't stop her from affecting the game on the defensive side.
TAYLER TOLEFREE
Senior middle blocker
"It is frustrating, but at the same time there's two sides to our game," Tolefree said. "We have to
play defense and and then you have Catherine Carmichael coming through and racking up kills."
In the first 15 matches of the season, Kansas outblocked its opponents all but
Freshman Tiana Dockery attributed the decrease in blocking to the increase in talent once conference play began.
two times. But the Jayhawks have been outblocked in each of their last three matches.
"When you start playing the higher-level teams, they don't get blocked as many times, and they don't have as many hitting errors," Dockery said.
However, Kansas outdug its opponents during the last three matches, with junior libero Briane Riley leading the defense. Riley recorded 43 digs at Oklahoma last Wednesday, the top mark in the Big 12 this season. Her performance earned her Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week. Against Texas last Friday, Riley became the first Jayhawk ever to record at least 400 digs in three different seasons.
Bechard said if K-State does outdig the Jayhawks, they could offset it with their digs.
"Those two stats go hand-inhand." Bechard said. "Very rarely do you go big in both those numbers because sometimes your block's funneling the ball to a digger, so hopefully those two skills are playing off each other.
"But it'd be great to block more balls, because that leads to instant points, instant offense, and I think the block and aggressive serving can change the momentum of a match more than anything."

Senior midfielder Amy Grow has proven to be a quiet but dangerous asset for the jayhawks this season, constantly staying involved in the play and being a consistent presence on the pitch.
Grow has recorded three assists and attempted 28 shots this season, yet the record book does not give Grow nearly enough credit for her talents. Grow is a much needed weapon on the Kansas squad, as she works hard to stay involve
with the play and create chances not only for herself, but for her teammates as well. Grow plays with an air of selflessness, always putting the team before her own stat count, which is both needed and rare in an athlete, especially at the college level.

"I just love playing in a competitive atmosphere." Grow said.
Her most important assist came recently against Wake Forest. Kansas ended the match at a 1-1 draw after junior forward/midfielder Caroline Kastor scored off a well-placed pass from Grow late in the game. Although they weren't able

"However, it's all worth it come game time." Grow said.
Last season Grow started every match and took 43 shots, a feat that tied her for third-most shots taken. Though she has yet to find the back of the net this season, every shot Grow takes help to fluster the keeper, eventually allowing the team to find the back of the net. Grow's high level of talent comes to no surprise, as she has played soccer since she was five years old.
Grow has also received numerous honors intertwining both athletics and academics throughout her career as a Jayhawk. She has been listed on both the Athletic Director's Honor Roll and the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll five times each. She has also earned a place on the Academic All-Big 12 First Team for the past two seasons.
Grow will finish her four years as she graduates later in May and will begin nursing school in June. Being successful on and off the pitch is difficult to manage, yet Grow has made it happen throughout her career.
Catch Grow in action as the Jayhawks play their last two conference matches Friday and Sunday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
"I try to avoid procrastinating and take advantage of every opportunity to study." Grow said.

THE MORNING BREW Chaos in college football is just beginning
By Christopher Schaeder
The first BCS standings of the 2012 college football season were released on Sunday night, and to the surprise of no one, Alabama is ranked No.1 in the country. Alabama has become the juggernaut of college football, winning two of the last three national titles and may be well on its way to a third this season. That being said, the current BCS standings are far from being set in stone. Let's take a look at the top five teams in the country and analyze each of their remaining schedules.
By Christopher Schaeder cschaeder@kansan.com
As you go down the list of the top national championship contenders, every team has a roadblock or two that could prevent them from playing in Miami this January.
1. Let's start with the aforementioned Alabama Crimson Tide. As impressive as it has looked so far this season, it has some challenging games remaining on its schedule. Alabama plays at Tennessee's Neyland Stadium this Saturday, and although Tennessee hasn't lived up to expectations this season. Neyland is always a tough place for opposing teams to play. Perhaps the toughest game remaining for the Crimson Tide is on Nov. 3, when the team travels to Baton Rouge to take on LSU, which is one of
the best teams in the country. Don't forget about a possible appearance in the SEC championship game.
2. The Florida Gators, who come in at No. 2 in the first BCS standings, have three daunting games remaining on its schedule, with two of them coming over the next two weeks. Florida takes on No. 7 South Carolina at home this Saturday and then plays one of its biggest rivals, the Georgia Bulldogs, the next week in Jacksonville. Its last game of the season is against another tough rival in Florida State, who's currently ranked 14th.
3. The Oregon Ducks, ranked No. 3, is a team that has looked nearly unstoppable
this season by scoring more than 45 points in every game this season. That being said, it still has plenty of work to do. The Ducks will have to travel to Los Angeles to play USC, play Stanford at home and travel to Corvallis, Ore., to play the rival Oregon State Beavers. Ore., and USC could potentially have a rematch in the Pac-12 championship game, in which both teams are favored to win their respective divisions. All three teams are ranked in the BCS and could be spoilers for Oregon.
4. The highest ranked team in the BCS standings is No. 4 Kansas State Wildcats. K-State pulled an upset against Oklahoma a couple weeks ago and has looked impressive in most of its games this season. However, the round-robin scheduling in the Big 12 may prevent a berth in the national title game. The Wildcats have a tough test this weekend at West Virginia and still have to play Texas Tech, TCU and Texas, which are ranked in the BCS standings. For K-State to get to Miami, it will have to beat some good teams at home and on the road.
KU
5. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are No.
5 in the BCS standings and have accumulated some impressive wins this season. That being said, Notre Dame's schedule only gets tougher. The Irish still have to travel to Norman, Okla., to play the Oklahoma Sooners and travel to Los Angeles to take on rival USC Trojans. Manti Teo and the defense have carried the Irish this season, but it remains to be seen whether it can sustain that kind of effort against explosive offenses like Oklahoma and USC.
The BCS standings from now until the end of the regular season will change drastically, so be prepared for some great college football games and chaos throughout the rest of the season.

COMMENTARY
Volleyball vaulting to the top
QUARTERBACK COMPETITION
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
The biggest sporting event for the University of Kansas this week is not taking place in Oklahoma on Saturday. And no, there is nothing going on at Allen Fieldhouse that requires your immediate attention either.
This week, today in particular, is about the 17-3 Kansas volleyball team — a team currently on pace to have its best record since the 25-10 team in 1991.
So on Thursday when you pick up the paper or glance at your Twitter feed and you see something on Kansas volleyball, it's worth taking a second glance to find out exactly what happened on Wednesday night.
Yes, this game is big. So big that it sold out and did so rather quickly for a Kansas volleyball match. Expect a raucous environment full of more than just KU fans. There will be plenty of purple in the house, too.
You know, 1991, when the Associated Press voted Colorado the national Champions in football, Michael Jordan won his first NBA Championship and "Seinfeld" made its television debut. To put it more plainly, it's been a long, long time since Kansas volleyball has been this good.
After all, you might not see this again for another 21 years.
And today provides what should be an all-out spectacle of a volleyball match in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. For the first time in history, both Kansas (21) and Kansas State (14) will be playing each other when both teams are ranked.
Edited by Allison Kohn
A lot of these players haven't ever experienced a victory over Kansas State. They also haven't experienced a winning season like this before. A win could help catapult Kansas on its way to historic success.
It's also a priority of Zenger's to beat Kansas State — in everything.
Kansas hasn't beaten Kansas State on the volleyball court since 2009, when the Jayhawks swept the series, which is what could make this game so potentially sweet for Kansas.
Tonight's game has the potential to be the most important game in a long time for Jayhawks volleyball. For the past seven seasons, Kansas coach Ray Bechard and the Jayhawks have hovered right around .500 for the season. This year is their chance to break that mold. This year is their chance to change Kansas volleyball.
However, a loss to Kansas State combined with a looming Big 12 schedule could spiral the Jayhawks into another season finish with a mediocre record at best.
There is little doubt that Bechard hasn't felt at least a little heat from Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger for the team's consistently mediocre performance. One of Zenger's priorities is fixing the non-revenue sports in which Kansas has been underpreforming.

STARTER UNANNOUNCED
KANSAS 10
Senior quarterback Davne Crist decides to run the ball before getting tackled during Saturday, Oct. 13 game against Oklahoma State University at Memorial Stadium where the Jayhawks lost 14-20.
Crist, Cummings to both play in Saturday's game vs. Oklahoma
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
Kansas coach Charlie Weis announced yesterday that quarterbacks Dayne Crist and Michael Cummings will both play in Saturday's game against the Sooners in Norman, Okla. Weis made the decision after Crist struggled to get Kansas on the scoreboard last week against Oklahoma State.
With 4:20 remaining in the third quarter against Oklahoma State, Weis pulled Crist and sent Cummings, a freshman, to finish the game. Crist finished with 10 of 22 completed passes for 146 yards while the Jayhawks went scoreless for three quarters.
Crist completed 49 percent of his throws and three touchdowns and seven interceptions in six games this season.
When Cummings went in as the quarterback, Kansas scored 14 points and almost came back to defeat Oklahoma State. Despite not being able to clench a win, Cummings did enough to catch Weis' eye.
19
"I think Michael deserves an opportunity to play based off his recent performance." Weis said.
In the limited action Cummings received, he completed five passes and threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jimmy Mundine. This gave the Jayhawks momentum on both sides of the ball. The defense caused a three-and-out and the offense scored on its next drive.
But during the final offensive play for Kansas, Cummings overthrew to running back Brandon Bourbon while he had other opportunities available on that play.
"I think there are a couple of things that experience would help him with," Weis said. "The last play, we were in it on offense. I've got guys open all over the place. We have an opportunity to win the game on that play right there."
Even though Cummings could not convert on the fourth-and-five play with under three minutes to go in the game, Weis said Cummings' learning curve will allow him to make better decisions next time he finds himself in that position.
To avoid distractions. Weis said
Weis is splitting the reps between Crist and Cummings in practice this week. Weis said that during the practice periods the team runs, Crist will be the primary quarterback one period and Cummings will do the same in the other.
Crist and Cummings will be unavailable to the media. Weis did not announce who the starter will be and may not decide that until closer to game time.
Kansas quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus said he is pleased with how the quarterbacks on the team have shown their knowledge of the playbook. Powlus said that in the end, it is about executing the plays in the playbook. He is confident that Crist and Cummings will both be prepared.
"You prepare like you're going to play." Powlus said. "Both guys always have to have the mind set that they are going to play in the game and that they are going to play significant roles every single week."
The players on the team felt the same way. Regardless of who starts, everyone will be ready to take the
field at Oklahoma.
"Whoever is making plays, if doesn't matter," tight end Mike Ragone said.
"We all have the same goal in mind. That is to go to Oklahoma and win."
INJURY NOTES
- Weis said running back Tony Pierson looks significantly better, but is not sure if he will play Saturday.
- Wide receiver DJ. Beshears has a slight fracture in his shoulder. Weis said he will be gone for an extended period of time.
- Wide receiver Daymond Paterson is going through concussion symptoms and is questionable for Saturday.
- Ron Doherty will return and punt. He will also be the backup kicker this Saturday.

Freshmen have big shoes to fill, need to be more vocal
10
Freshman forward Perry Ellis looks for an open teammate to pass the ball to during Late Night in the Phog last Friday in Allen Fieldhouse.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
epadway@kansan.com
In fact, the bigger issue will be making this year's freshmen, a quieter bunch, into more vocal and aggressive players on the court.
There won't be any issues with players and their twitter accounts on this year's Kansas basketball team.
One of the biggest offenders is freshman Perry Ellis.
"If he had his druthers, he could go through a whole day without speaking a word." Self said. "He's that quiet."
Recently, coach Bill Self began working on remedying this situation. With Ellis confined to the bicycle for a practice due to a minor injury, Self made the entire team run whenever Ellis stopped talking.
With Kansas only returning four players that averaged double-digit minutes last season, the young players such as Ellis, the most heralded recruit from the Jayhawks 2012 class, and Ben McLemore, who sat out 2011 due to ineligibility, are new players expected to play a major role this season.
"Every year we have a different group that leaves and a different
group comes in," said senior guard Travis Releford. "With this crowd, a bunch of them are real quiet, but it's early and that can change as we get on with the season."
Self and the senior leaders want the newcomers to become more aggressive as early in the season as possible because of the importance those attributes play when the guanlet known as the Big 12 schedule rolls around in January.
That message is already reaching the freshmen. Ellis said the seniors are working on teaching them to become "mentally strong."
Mental strength is important because at Kansas the players' every move and every mistake on the court will be intensely scrutinized under the spotlight that shines on Kansas basketball.
Some of the freshmen are already working on conveying that attitude.
White had far from the greatest shooting night of his life at the Late Night in the Phog scrimimage,
"I like to be thought of as one of those young guys that has the mental toughness of an older player," said freshman guard Andrew White III. "So that was my motivation to get through boot camp and I think I did well with it."
making just one of his five field goal attempts. But that didn't affect him from continuing to try and make an impact.
1
It's not easy for a freshman to start at Kansas. Even great players such as Julian Wright, who entered Kansas named the preseason Big 12 freshman of the year, started the season coming off the bench. Thomas Robinson, last year's Big 12 Player of the Year, didn't break the starting lineup until his junior season.
"I do think they expect to come in and play," Self said of the freshmen. "But I think the one thing that is water in the face, so to speak, is that it is harder than what it looks."
When the Jayhawks tip off against perennial contender Michigan State in their second game of the season, the freshmen will have their mental toughness tested early in the season.
"We won't have any depth if we don't count on our freshmen," Self said. "So we need those guys to have a confident attitude."

Complete with exhibits featuring masks created by local and nonlocal artists, a zine and a haunted video store. Wonder Fair is certainly the place to go to get into the spooky spirit.
Wonder Fair, a Lawrence art gallery, is putting customers in the right mood for Halloween through its exhibit collection, "100 Ghost Stories."
The main exhibit is a print portfolio. Wonder Fair curator Meredith Moore chose 10 different artists to create masks that are both in the gallery and on sale in print.
Lizz Hickey, from Brooklyn, N.Y., made 20 different masks, each somehow featuring a chicken. Rudy Marron, who is from a Hispanic family, made Day of the Dead masks with American cultural elements, such as the Channel logo.
"The second exhibit is the zine. The local artists chose the writers." Moore said. "The third exhibit is the haunted video store."
Each mask is different, though all the artists used the same template.
To qualify, the artists all needed to be strong graphic designers.
There is only a few more days to see the exhibit, as "100 Ghost

However, students have the opportunity to attend one last blowout before "100 Ghost Stories" closes. On Thursday at 7 p.m., Liberty Hall is hosting a film screening of "Goul School," which was made in Springfield, Mo.

A secret also lies at Wonder Fair.
"There is a secret to unlock at the Haunted Video Store." Moore said. "If you tell the clerk you want a video card, you can get a coupon to use at Liberty Hall any time. We are also giving away free prints on Thursday night."

Wild West Film Festival hosts 5-minute short-film contest
There are often two activities associated with the Halloween season: trick-or-treating and going to see horror films.
bivy@kansan.com
From the classic "Friday the 13th" series to the newer "Paranormal Activity" films, horror films and Halloween seem to coincide. Now, thanks to the Wild West Film Festival, people get to try their own hand at making horror films, only with a bit of a twist.
The Wild West Film Festival has been held in Lawrence since October 2005. It pits teams of filmmakers against one another with the challenge of creating a five-minute horror film in a 48-hour time span. The concept is one that may make potential filmmakers excited.
CRYPTOQUIPS 8A
OPINION 5A
"I think this is a really cool competition, especially for someone who is interested in movies and making movies," said Edwin Saunders, a freshman from Vero Beach, Fla. "As someone who finds themselves as a movie enthusiast, I was excited as soon as I heard about it."
CLASSIFIEDS 2B
CROSSWORD 8A
While this competition may seem scary to some, it is done for a good cause. Proceeds from the Wild West Film Festival have gone to help a number of non-profit organizations.
Index
While this task seems daunting at first, even the most inexperienced filmmakers have the ability to win.
"We've given over $1,000 to the Lawrence Women's Shelter in the past, as well as $500 to the animal shelter," Sellens said. "We've also given to Hollywood Hawks, which is the KU graduate association which helps place recent graduate film students. It definitely helps keep filmmakers coming out of Kansas."
Although the competition sign up deadline has passed, students can still attend the screening at Liberty Hall on Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door. A DVD of all the films can also be purchased for $10.
"It doesn't really matter what level of filmmaking you're at or what kind of equipment you use," said Derek Sellens, the event coordinator. "It's about having a good idea and a well-executed idea that really makes it exciting for people. You never know what kind of film is going to win."

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama spar during the second presidential debate at Hofstra University, Tuesday in Hempstead, N.Y.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Women voters warming up to Romney
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — Fresh off an intensely combative debate, President Barack Obama, Republican Mitt Romney and their running mates are taking their tuned-up fight to the precious few battleground states where the election is for grabs with just 20 days to go.
In the sprint to Election Day, Nov. 6, every aspect of the
campaign seems to be taking on a fresh sense of urgency — the ads, the fundraising, the grass-roots mobilizing and the outreach to key voting blocs, particularly women. Obama wore a pink breast cancer bracelet while campaigning in Iowa and Romney's campaign dispatched former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to introduce vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan in Ohio.
Rice and Ryan highlighted the
plight of women in the current economy, with Ryan reading statistics from the podium on female unemployment and poverty rates under Obama's leadership. "We need to get people back to work," Ryan said. "We need to get this economy turned around."
Romney also quietly began airing a new TV ad suggesting he believes abortion "should be an option" in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is
at stake.
The ad is an appeal to women voters, who polls show have favored Obama throughout the race although Romney has been making gains among them. Romney supported abortion rights as Massachusetts governor but now says he opposes abortion with limited exceptions. His campaign didn't announce the ad, but it began running on debate night on stations that reach Virginia, Ohio
and Wisconsin.
Romney traveled with comedian Dennis Miller, and singer Lee Greenwood warmed up his crowd in southeast Virginia. Vice President Joe Biden was westward bound for Colorado and Nevada.
Obama appears to have 237 of the 270 electoral votes needed for victory comfortably in hand, and Romney is confident of 191. That leaves 110 electoral votes up for grabs.

Vitamins lower cancer risk
ASSOCIATED PRESS
America's favorite dietary supplements, multivitamins, modestly lowered the risk for cancer in healthy male doctors who took them for more than a decade, the first large study to test these pills has found.
Monthly calendar vitamin packs were used in a long-term study on multivitamins. Dietary supplements and multivitamins, modestly lowered the risk of developing cancer in healthy male doctors who took them daily for more than a decade.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The result is a surprise because many studies of individual vitamins have found they don't help prevent chronic diseases and some even seemed to raise the risk of cancer.
In the new study, multivitamins cut the chance of developing cancer by 8 percent. That is less effective than a good diet, exercise and not smoking, each of which can lower cancer risk by 20 percent to 30 percent, cancer experts say.
Multivitamins also may have different results in women, younger men or people less healthy than those in this study.

Officials give aid to crack addicts

A welfare worker escorts a young suspected crack user to a waiting van near the Parque União slum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Wednesday.
RIO DE JANEIRO — Days after police stormed one of Rio de Janeiro's most dangerous shanty towns to seize back territory long held by a powerful drug dealing organization, city health and welfare workers are working to ease the despair and devastation left behind among hundreds of crack cocaine addicts suddenly without drugs.
Since Sunday, when more than 2,000 heavily armed officers stormed into the Manguinhos and Jacarezinho complexes, crews working with police support by Wednesday had rounded up 231 crack users, and another 67 who had migrated elsewhere looking for the drug.
The area had been Rio's biggest open-air crack market, known as "cracolandia," or "crackland," where hundreds of users bought the drug, consumed it and lingered in shacks and on blankets, picking through trash for recyclables to sell so they could buy more.
"These people have to be cured and treated," Jose Mariano Beltrame, who heads security for Rio state, said during a Tuesday visit to the area. "They're not coming back to Jacarezinho and Manguinhos; the area is now occupied."
Drug dealers tired of the hassle posed by the addicts and by incursions of city health and welfare workers earlier this year banned crack in Mandela, one of the slums. Police now have taken over the entire complex housing about 70,000 people as part of a state program to make Rio safer before the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.
In the days after the occupation, officers were still searching for guns, drugs and suspects, but other city services were already making headway. The garbage removal company ran its own mega-operation, removing 220 tons of trash. City utility workers replaced more than 300 street lights.
The crew of welfare workers, psychologists and others who provide

World War II planes to be dug up in Myanmar
ASSOCIATED PRESS
YANGON, Myanmar — Myanmar has signed a deal with a British aviation enthusiast to allow the excavation of a World War II treasure: dozens of Spitfire fighter planes buried by the British almost 70 years ago.
The British Embassy said Wednesday that the agreement was reached after discussions between President Thein Sein and British Prime Minister David Cameron during his visit to Myanmar earlier this year.
Aviation enthusiast David J. Cundall discovered the locations of the aircraft after years of searching. The planes are believed to be in good condition, since they were reportedly packed in crates and hidden by British forces to keep them out of the hands of invading Japanese.

The excavation of the rare planes is slated to begin by the end of October.

In this Sept. 28, 1941 file photo, Spitfires, subscribed for by the people of Assam, are now operating with fighter command of the Royal Air Force.

AFRICA
Multinational efforts stop Somali terroists
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOGADISHU, Somalia — The first Ugandan soldiers to fly into Somalia 5 1/2 years ago came under attack as soon as they arrived: Militants fired mortals at the new mission's welcome ceremony.
Today, backed by a sweeping multinational effort that includes $338 million in U.S. equipment, wages and training, the force of Ugandans, Burundians, Kenyans and Somali that was deployed to take on the country's Islamic radicals can claim a degree of success that had initially seemed highly unlikely.
When the Ugandan spearhead arrived on March 6, 2007, Somalia had been in chaos for years, ruled by warlords and insurgents bent on creating an Islamic state. AMI-SOM, the African Union Mission in Somalia, was the most ambitious response since the failed 1990s U.S. intervention of Black-Hawk-Dow infamy.
The militants called al-Shabab, who once controlled nearly all of
Mogadishu, have been gone from the capital for more than a year, and last month AMISO booted them out of their latest urban stronghold, the port city of Kismavo.
"I think from a military and security perspective it has been a success. Absent AMISOM, al-Shabab would now be in control of Mogadishu. We would not be talking about a new (Somali) national government with a president from civil society in charge," said E.J. Hogendoorn, a Horn of Africa expert at the International Crisis Group, a think tank that tracks conflicts.
But if the specter of Somalia as al-Qaida's next Yemen has been averted, the challenge now is to achieve a strong central government for an estimated 10 million Somali. "What is necessary for the long term in Somalia," said Hogendoorn, "is some sort of political resolution to this conflict."

the Chambers is "a literary walk through Poe's writing," according to Amber Bequeath, vice president of Full Moon Productions. Full Moon also operates The Beast and The Edge of Hell haunted houses, but The Chambers is a unique experience for patrons.
"Poe's literary work speaks for itself, and for fans of his, this is going into his writings and being able to experience them in a physical way instead of just reading," Bequeaith said.
Edgar Allen Poe was a Romantic writer best known for his gruesome and macabre short stories and poems. The Chambers of Edgar Allen Poe haunted attraction focuses on Poe's most horrifying works.
some of Poe's most famous and twisted horror tales include "The Raven," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Black Cat" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," and they all feature themes of terror, obscurity and

imagination, making them ideal subjects for a haunted journey.
Randy Nguyen, a sophomore from Wichita and a self-proclaimed fan of haunted houses, said he has not been to The Chambers but would be interested in going.
An investigation by Discovery Channel's Ghost Lab has proven the location to be buzzing with paranormal activity. The Chambers has also recently been the site of filming for "Horror Filmed," a movie centered around two college students attempting to prove the existence of ghosts. Bequeath said there were unexplainable events that happened in the building while shooting the footage.
"If it's anything like The Beast and The Edge of Hell, it will probably be really creative and interesting," Nguyen said.
actually conduct their own hunt through The Chambers that comes complete with a DVD creation of personal footage available afterward.
The construction of The Chambers is historically and geographically accurate, too. The artifacts used inside the attraction are replicas of the era when Poe lived, and Bequeaith's research of Poe in his hometown of Baltimore provided the basis for the fourth-floor recreation of his gravesite.
What makes this attraction really stand out, however, is the audience participation factor and the opportunity to experience firsthand the ghostly activity. Visitors learn how to use paranormal equipment and
"All of the tombstones are facing the same direction and all the names are the same." Bequeaith said. There is also a recreated church that was built over the gravesite in Baltimore that visitors have to crawl under to get to part of the graveyard.
The Chambers and its counterpart, the Macabre Cinema, are nonprofit organizations that benefit the Dream Factory of Kansas City, a charity for critically ill children. Bequeath said most of the auditioned actors and workers for the Chambers are volunteers for the
Dream Factory.
Single tickets for the haunted attraction start at $25. A combo pack that includes tickets to the Chambers and the Macabre Cinema starts at $38.
The Chambers is open this Friday and Saturday, and next Friday through Halloween. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and 8 p.m. all other days.

The plot's new direction is most likely in response to recent criticism that the previous season was "reading water" and shying away from major plot progression.
Season 3 picks up after an entire winter has come and gone, and the weather isn't the only thing that has changed. The premiere shows the developing survival skills of several cast members, who before would cower at the sight of a zombie but are now spraying more blood, brains and bullet casings in the first two minutes than any episodes before. Decisions are made with the

"The they are starting to have more wins," Mazzara said in an online press release. "It's important for the group to have wins, so when they suffer losses it's that much more devastating."
If the first 19 episodes of "The Walking Dead" left you itching for
more gritty, gunslinging zombie extermination, the latest in the series will surely reestablish itself as a masterpiece in the genre and make fans fall back in love with the group of survivors who first drew them in.

Step show to perform in Union
ELLY GRIMM
egrimm@kansan.com
An old tradition is being revived at the University through Greek life on campus.
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) will be performing a step show on Saturday in the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
"When we were asked by NPHC to help sponsor the step show, we thought it was a perfect opportunity to help showcase the talent here at KU," said Student Union Activities Cultural Programming Coordinator Subha Upadhyayula, a sophomore from Leawood.
Stepping is a form of dance in which the dancers use their bodies as percussion instruments to set the beat. The step show had been a tradition at the University dating back to the mid-1990s.
"We haven't done it in two years, and so many people remember it," said NPHC member Chris Cushimberry, a junior from Topeka. "We're trying to get it back for KU."
There will be six acts performing at the show, including University fraternities Phi Beta Sigma and Kappa Alpha Psi, and sorority Zeta Phi Beta. There are three other outside acts: the University's Dance Unity, the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence and the Lawrence High School step team.
Cushinberry, a member of Phi Beta Sigma, talked about the historical aspects of the show.
"NPHC's governance is African-American greeks here at KU, and it's been a tradition that we participate in step shows," he said. "It all goes back to our chapter's history, and to keep this tradition going is an honor. The preparation and hype for it will have lots of people coming."
Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity member Stan Parker, a senior from the Kansas City area, also expressed his excitement about the upcoming performance.
"I want KU to come out and support us in large numbers and get exposed to step culture," Parker said. "Also, they should have a good time."
Zeta Phi Beta member Courtney Newman, a senior from Leavenworth, also talked about the upcoming performance.
"It's good to be able to add different things to my life besides academics," Newman said. "It's nice to take a break and have fun with something like this."
Upadhayyula, a first-time member of SUA, expects the extensive advertising for the event will help draw people in.
"There are calendars and posters everywhere, and I expect it to be a blast and a lot of fun," she said.
Doors will open at 7:15 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show. Tickets are $7 in advance, $10 at the door and $5 with a Student Saver Card.

Stress and sleep deprivation may be apart of this journey right now in life but it also contributes to our

bad food choices.
If I fail the human sexuality midterm, all of my worst fears will be realized.
Imagine the last time you were up late cramming for an exam or getting through a day after five hours of sleep. Were you more likely to embark on a healthy adventure at the salad bar or make a thoughtless, fried decision for lunch? Chances are your bloodshot eyes saw the first easy, quick option and grabbed it. Stress makes us lazy and this laziness leads to an unhealthy domino effect.

A day with barely any sleep, filled with stress and fast food equates to one, big unhealthy lifestyle that so many of us experience more frequently than wed like to admit. The trick is to spice it up.

but show other options to eating while under the influence of stress and little sleep.
Your body will crave a sugary food if you're sleep deprived, but stay away from the temptation. Replace the doughnuts with scrambled eggs, a banana or celery sticks with peanut butter. The last thing you want to do when you're exhausted is put together a meal so don't forget grocery stores and the Underground are just a few of the places that sell premade healthy options for quick consumption.
have long been the traditional college feasts for years, so this type of tradition isn't easily breakable. Stress also goes hand in hand with college but what about health shakes instead of sugary lattes or salads instead of greasy burgers? Notice how I am not trying to help you prevent stress, that was an earlier column of mine this semester.
fast food chains and coffee shops are working together. Four coffees later and you find yourself at the drive-thru around 2 a.m. thinking, "They got me again!"
Grab a coffee if that's in your daily routine but don't double up just because you're tired. The caffeine may temporarily jumpstart your sluggish day but it will prolong it too. I sometimes think that 24/7
We may not be able to completely ban the bad stuff out of our lives because late night study sessions and days with little sleep after impromptu bar hopping are necessary evils of college. However, we can change our food choices by adding a little more of the healthy stuff or better yet, get more sleep.

Keeping the Chief allegiance
I was born and raised in Kansas, thus I am a KU, Royals and Chiefs fan. I am suspicious of anyone who doesn't follow the same protocol. I strongly detest Midwesterners donning Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees caps.
Having said that, I can say, without regret, Chiefs fans suck. Not all Chiefs fans, but many, too many, do indeed suck.
Illustrated by Maddie Lytle
I have split season tickets with my family for the past 10 years. I have attended at least four games a year for the past 16 years.
Once again, let me express my allegiance to the Chiefs:
I have seen bitter losses at Arrowhead. I was there in 1999 when the Raiders (with nothing to play for, having been already knocked out of the playoff hunt) beat the Chiefs (who needed the win to make the playoffs) in the last game of the season, in 1995 when Lin Elliot missed three field goals in a playoff game against the Colts, and in 2003 when our defense couldn't stop Peyton Manning and the Colts.
By David Scott
@kansa
Through the suffering, I am still a proud fan. And, if we went another 19 years without a playoff win, I'd still be a fan. Why? It's who I am and I am's my mom's fault.
For some unexplained reason, Kansas City became a quarterback-centered town, despite the fact that the Chiefs have never been a pass-first football team. This quarterback obsession began during the Elvis Grbac/Rich Gannon
debacle of '97. Chiefs fans eventually ran Grbac out of town much like they're doing with Matt Cassel. Since then, every quarterback has been on a short leash with fans, and the backup has almost always been the most popular guy on the team.
Criticism is OK, But what I can't stand—even more than fair-weather Chiefs fans, which there are way too many—is the booing at Arrowhead. (Forget the cheering after Cassel was injured last week, which was very, very little) I have never understood why a fan would boo their own team at home. Chiefs fans are the worst at this. The past couple of seasons, the standard procedure has been to boo Cassel after his first incompletion and throughout the rest of the game.
Booing has become more and more common at Arrowhead through the years. I don't understand why "fans" (true fans don't boo their own team at home) don't see how this is idiotic and counter-productive.
I understand why Chiefs fans
are upset. The Pioli regine makes many fans yearn for the days of King Carl, a GM that brought nearly 20 years of success to Kansas City and who was also run out of town by idiotic fans. However, the most important ingredient to any good sports town is the fans. Mike Hendricks, a columnist for the Kansas City Star, recently referred to our city as "loserville" because of the poor performance of our sport teams. "Forbes" magazine ranked Kansas City as the eighth most miserable sports city in the U.S.
I take offense to this. Fans make the city, not the teams' performances. If we want to be a truly great sports town then we should support our teams no matter what.
Cities like Green Bay and Pittsburgh have set the example. Packer fans have sold out every home game at Lambau since 1960. Pittsburgh has sold out every home game since 1972. Green Bay has had their fair share of bad times in the past 52 years, yet their fans remain true.
Too bad Kansas City can't do the same thing. Instead we boo our team at home and only sell out when we're winning. What we need is pride, not pride in our team but pride in ourselves as fans and in our city, regardless of our teams' record.

Senior Swedish exchange student Jenny Bengtsson doesn't let packing lightly for her semester abroad slow down her fashion forward ways. This textile major from Sweden sports navy blue Converse high-top sneakers and a casually cool look for class.
Check out this fall's new footwear styles
CALLAN REILLY creilly@kansan.com
Shoes: They're just like the cherry on top of a sundae. Countless sayings such as, "You can't judge a person until you walk a mile in their shoes," or "If the shoe fits," center around these favorite (and necessary) accessories. Even the fairy tale "Cinderella" is centered on footwear. They can transform an outfit from good to great, and this year expect to see a big change from last year's trends.
French fashion designer Isabel
Current shoe styles range from high tops and wedge sneakers to booties and pointy heels, and of course who could forget flats and loafers? Updated styles are stumping all over today's fashionable streets, and toes couldn't be happier.
Marant started the wedge sneaker trend this past year with stars such as Kate Moss and Sienna Miller setting foot in her designs (pun intended). While these fabulously chunky sneakers turn heads nationwide, a more subtle version would be opting for a pair of high top sneakers, just as senior textile major Jenny Bengtsson from Sweden did. These Europeans really know their stuff.
As for other comfortable footwear, ankle booties and loafers are other fashion-forward options. Similar to the ballet flat, a menswear-inspired loafer is a great go-to for strolling along jayhawk Boulevard. Try getting a pair in grey, a neutral color that goes with just about everything. There's nothing better than being stylish and comfortable at the same time. Am I right, ladies? Most men just cannot
relate to our fashion woes. But, as Marilyn Monroe once said, "I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot."
If you're feeling daring and willing to put comfort aside, a pointed toe heel is your new best friend for a night on the town. It's a smaller and sleeker heel than the chunky platform pump and is surprisingly harder to walk in despite the down-size in heel height.
Extra credit goes to anyone with a pop of color or patterns on their feet. But as always, the most important thing is to be confident in your shoes. With confidence, you can pull off any style.

Rap duo release new album

Odd Future continues its 2012 releases with MellowHype's "Numbers."
MellowHype is a duo consisting of rapper Hodgy Beats and producer and occasional rapper Left Brain. Last year MellowHype re-released one of their previous mixtapes, "Blackenedwhite", which is regarded as the duo's best work because of the great verses, amazing production and general cohesiveness of the two, but a lot of fans already were familiar with the material. "Numbers" is the first full-length album MellowHype is releasing.

+
Part of
Numbers
what made MellowHype's previous release, "Blackenedwhite", so great was the fiery energy in Hodgy Beats verses, which he initially made his name on. Hodgy is not the best lyricist, but one of his greatest assets was his ability
to demand attention to his lyrics. Sadly, this is mostly missing from the new album. Hodgy sounds bland and uninspired in tracks such as "Leflair." The album also suffers from repetitive and often annoying hooks. This is very noticeable with the beginning track, "Grill," in which the duo uncreatively spell out their name on the hook.
There are high points to the album, such as in the tracks "Astro" and "P2." Astro features fellow Odd future member Frank Ocean. Hedgy does a solid job on the track, but Frank Ocean truly steals the show. On the hook he sings with conviction. He even raps on the track near the end, and he sounds great there, too. The track "P2" features another Odd Future colleague Earl Sweatshirt. His verse is one of the best on the entire album. His flow is immaculate on this track, and the verse is filled with slick wordplay as Earl Sweatshirt reflects on his past and the future of Odd Future.
"Numbers" is a solid rap album, but Mellowhype has shown in the past that its capable of much more.

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
---
I will keep it simple and to the point. The image shows three men standing in a rocky outdoor setting, engaged in conversation. One man is pointing towards the other two, who are looking at him with interest. The environment appears rugged and natural, with large rocks and sparse vegetation. The men are dressed in casual clothing, suggesting a relaxed, informal setting. The focus of the image is on their interaction rather than the surroundings.
EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
Creative in 'Seven Psychopaths'
LANDON MCDONALD
lmcdonald@kansan.com
Contrary to what many film geeks will tell you, colorful gangster dialogue is not the sole province of Quentin Tarantino.
Don't get me wrong. Tarantino is my favorite director, and I think he's one of the most consistently brilliant, genre-bending filmmakers working today. But there are others who have elevated underworld idiosyncrasies to the point of high art. One of them is Irish playwright-turned-filmmaker Martin McDonagh, whose new movie "Seven Psychopath" has been judged by many critics as "Tarantino-esque."
Personally, I think that term does a disservice to both artists. First, Tarantino is a freewheeling, referential cyclone of creative nods and influences, so the adoption of his style by another writer-director would be hopelessly derivative and ultimately pointless. Second, McDonagh's movies have a distinct set of themes and values that make them inherently different from Tarantino's. The best example is probably McDonagh's 2008 hitman comedy "In Bruges," a lapsed-Catholic morality tale swathed in black comedy.
"Seven Psychopaths" represents a meta-comic attempt by McDonagh to make sense of his own creative process. Its principle character is Marty (Colin Farrell), an alcoholic screenwriter who's struggling to flesh out his newest script idea, an unrepentant saga of violence and mayhem tentatively titled, you guessed it, "Seven Psychopaths." Desperate for inspiration, he looks to his manic friend Billy (Sam Rockwell) and his zen-like partner Hans (Christopher Walken), two career eccentrics who make their living kidnapping dogs
and returning them to their wealthy owners for the reward money.
Things become complicated after Billy and Hans bring home a lethargic Shih Tzu named Bonny, unaware that she belongs to a local gangster named Charlie (Woody Harrelson), a sociopathic dog lover who will stop at nothing to reclaim his purloined pooch. All this leads to an increasingly surreal desert showdown, with occasional interludes explaining the histories of the seven titular psychos and priceless cameos from the likes of Harry Dean Stanton as a vengeful Quaker and actor/musician Tom Watts, whose character owns a rabbit bred by the Zodiac killer.
I hesitate to call Farrell's Marty the movie's protagonist, since he's often relegated to the role of a spectator. The focus remains largely on Rockwell and Walken, who manage to play off each other's kooky sensibilities perfectly as Marty's dueling surrogate muses.
Walken's performance alone is worth the price of admission. It's one of his best in years, free from any trace of self-parody, a reminder that he's an actor equally adept at farce and tragedy. In fact, his final story pitch to Marty is enough to make "Seven Psychopaths" feel like both at once.
Rockwell, with his herky-jerk
mannerisms and excitable nature, recalls the lust for puerile, nihilistic violence that can define younger writers and their work. Walken's character, on the other hand, is a soft-spoken pacifist who believes in redemption and greater meanings. Seeing the two interact is like watching McDonagh's id match wits with his super-ego.

'Sinister'scares up original horror concept
LANDON MCDONALD
lmcdonald@kansan.com
What's the scariest thing about "Sinister"? It's not a remake, reboot or a prequel to the sequel of "Paranormal Activity 5: How Katie Got Her Ghoul Back." It's an original horror movie that prizes psychological dread over torture porn or cheap jump scares.
Scott Derrickson's latest film masquerades as an observant family drama before revealing itself as a devilishly intriguing haunted house thriller, one willing to eschew the usual pop-out banalities in favor of tightly ratcheted suspense and a shockingly severe third-act payoff.
"Sinister" is also fully committed to its R-rating, which it received not for gore, language or sexuality but rather for what the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) glibly describes as "disturbing violent images and some terror". Why not say it's too frightening for kids and leave it at that?
Despite its later inventiveness, the movie's set-up feels discerningly familiar, especially for Stephen King fans. Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke) is a washed up true-crime author whose last best
seller hit the shelves nearly a decade ago. Hoping to rekindle the recognition he feels he deserves, he decides to move his wife (Juliet Rylance) and two young children into an unassuming suburban house that was once the site of a bizarre series of murders, including the ritualistic hanging of an entire family from a tree in their new backyard. The worst part? The splintered branch that held them is still up there.
It's always refreshing to see a horror film populated by actors who don't look as if they've wandered off an Abercrombie photo-shoot. Hawke's moody, rumpled performance acknowledges Ellison's self-destructive vanity while compelling the audience to root for him anyway.
Oblivious to the traumatic toll this news will have on his own family, Ellison holes up in his office to write a new book centered on the massacre and the missing girl who may have survived it. His obsession with the case deepens after finding a box of what appear to be snuff films in the attic. These diabolically titled "home movies" contain some of the most unnerving imagery in "Sinister," especially during a scene involving the improper use of a lawnmower.
Former Republican presidential hopeful Fred Thompson appears as the surly town sheriff who has plenty of reasons to distrust Ellison, while James Ransone defies regional stereotyping as a chipper deputy and rabid fan of Ellison's earlier work. Veteran actor Vincent D'Onofrio, who apparently shot his scenes via Skype, even shows up as a helpful demonology professor.
Derrickson's unjustly forgotten "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" also depended on a gifted cast to find the humanity in a genre where characters are often treated like cattle and dispatched with the same indifferent efficiency. The "Sinister" script, which Derrickson co-wrote with online film critic C. Robert Cargill, never makes that mistake. These two clearly understand one of the oldest rules in horror: If you really want to scare us, make us care.

22ND AND IOWA
AMSTERDAM (AP) — In Hollywood movies, heists usually feature criminals who plan meticulously and use high-tech equipment to avoid detection. But the thieves who snatched seven paintings by Picasso, Matisse and Monet worth millions from a gallery in Rotterdam appear to have taken a less glamorous approach, relying mostly on speed and brute force.
In other words, the theft from the Kunsthal exhibition on avant-garde art was more "smash and grab" than "Ocean's 11."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dutch police said Wednesday they had no suspects in the case, the largest art heist in the country for more than a decade, though an appeal to witnesses had produced more than a dozen tips for investigators to follow up.
As questions arose about security at the museum, its director, Emily Ansken, rejected criticism of the facility's safeguards. Speaking at a news conference Tuesday evening, she defended Kunsthal's security as "state of the art" and noted that insurance companies had agreed to insure it.
Experts said the structure and location of the museum, which was designed by renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, may have attracted criminals.
"Speaking as a museum-goer, it's fantastic," museum security expert Ton Cremers said. "Speaking as a security expert, it's a total nightmare."
And yet the thieves got away. The paintings they took are estimated to be worth roughly $100 million if sold at auction.
The gallery is located along a large road that leads to a roundabout, less than a mile away, connecting highways heading in three directions. The display space where the paintings once hung is a large square area, at ground level, visible from outside through glass walls.
Though police and the museum have declined to discuss aspects of the heist that might help thieves, the main details of what happened are clear.

The break-in occurred at around 3 a.m. Tuesday, police say, after someone triggered an alarm.
Investigators have focused on an emergency exit behind the building. The exit connects directly to the main exhibition hall, with paintings hung just a few yards away. Tire tracks can still be seen in the grass behind the building leading away from the exit. Police on Tuesday dusted the exit for fingerprints and took samples of the tire prints.
The paintings were yanked from the walls, leaving only white spaces and broken hanging wires dangling behind.
Police spokesman Henk van der Velde said Wednesday that 25 officers have been assigned to the case, but the getaway car has not been found and there are no suspects. Agents were reviewing videotape from museum cameras.
Officers were on the scene within five minutes of the alarm being triggered, according to museum director Ansenk, but the thieves were already gone.
It is unknown what will happen to the paintings if the thieves are not caught.

Today is a 5
You get a head start, thanks to your focus and determination. Use your power for good. Give up something you don't need and surge forward.

Bill Self didn't exactly compare this season's freshman class to the herald-

man class to the heralded 2005-2006 crop that included Brandon Rush, Julian Wright and Mario Chalmers.
This Kansas team is better than the 2005-2006 version. The senior trio of Elijah Johnson, Jeff Withey and Travis Releford will help settle in the seven freshmen. Led by Ben McLemore, Perry Ellis and Andrew White, this class could leave Lawrence with a resume as impressive as the 2005 class.
Of course, the situations aren't exactly the same.
However, at Wednesday's Big 12 Media Day in Kansas City, Mo., Self mentioned the similarities between both groups.
But what Self did in 2005 laid the groundwork for the 2008 national championship, and if everything goes well, the 2012 freshmen might have the same impact.
The Jayhawks already have a head start on the 2005 group. This year's squad has legitimate Final Four and national title aspirations because of the lack of talent near the top of college basketball this season.
"There are always provisions in any contract where, if you don't do a good job, they can get rid of you, so to me the pressure is still on, and that's the way it should be," Self said. "I probably look at it in a more relaxed state now, though, which is probably positive."
"I do think it's going to be a challenging year, but not in a bad way," Self said. "It was challenging back when Mario, Julian and Brandon were all freshmen... but that team still managed to do pretty well."
The Jayhawks are still in the running for forward and No.1 overall recruit Julius Randle as well as forward Aaron Gordon (No.5), who visited last weekend for Late Night in the Phog.
At Big 12 Media Day, Self was asked about the recent contract extension he signed which keeps him at Kansas for another decade.
With the fat contract and white-hot recruiting, I'd be pretty relaxed as well.
A signed letter of intent from Randle or Gordon could make the Jayhawks national title favorites in 2014. Even without those players, Self is setting himself up perfectly for a four-year run that will most certainly lead to another Final Four appearance and could eventually make him the first Kansas coach to win two national titles for the Jayhawks.
Out of this 2012 group, McLemore is the only real threat to bolt for the NBA after this season. If that does indeed happen, it still leaves plenty of talent returning to compliment next year's class, which might be better and is still not complete. The players already committed include the guard duo of Conner Frankamp (No. 28 prospect according to Rivals) and Wayne Selden (No. 23), and small forward Brannen Greene (No. 22).
Self and his staff are looking to round out that class which ESPN recently called the second best recruiting class for 2013.

Senior center Jeff Withey answers questions from reporters about Kansas' plans to succeed in the postseason again this year at the Big 12 Men's Basketball Media Day Wednesday at the Sprint Center.
ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com
Without Robinson, the burden of opening Kansas coach Bill Self's inside-out offense with low-post play falls on the shoulders of senior center Jeff Withey.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.— When Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor packed up their lockers for the final time last April, more than 50 percent of the Kansas men's basketball team's scoring in conference play walked out the door with them.
"Jeff naturally isn't one of those guys that just looks to score or it comes easy for him. That's not the case," Self said. "Last year he averaged nine a game and a large part because he played next to Thomas, and Thomas would get doubled or whatever and Jeff would benefit from that."
In the offseason, Self placed an emphasis on Withey developing a low-post move with his offhand, which would make him harder to cover.
In Withey's first three years at Kansas, Danny Manning was always the one working closely with Withey on his low-post game. But Manning's departure to take the Tula head coaching job created a hole in the Kansas staff.
Former Self assistant Norm Roberts returned to the staff to fill that void.
"I feel like he's watched a lot of film from last year, because we're doing a lot of the same things from when coach Manning was here," Withey said. "He's been extremely good with me."
Roberts' previous experience under Self eased his transition into his role at Kansas. Before leaving to take the head coaching job at St. John's, Roberts coached in the same capacity under Self in each of his previous coaching stops.
In his first go-around on Self's staff, Roberts used many of the same coaching techniques later implemented by Manning.
This year's Kansas offense is much stronger and deeper on the perimeter than it is on the inside.
"We'll probably shoot more jump shots than we have in any other time since I've been here," Self said. "I'm not sure that's a strength as much as we should play through our bigs more, but we don't have a natural scorer inside."
Self said without Robinson around, a jump to an average of 12 points or more per game would show a vast improvement in Withey's offensive game because of how often Withey will see opponents double-team him down low.
It will also add another element to Withey's expanded role in the offense, which will see more plays designed to go through him, including some plays that aren't expected from a seven-footer.
"He can shoot the jumper, which a lot of people don't really know," said senior forward Kevin Young. "He can put it on the floor as well and go by some guys, but at the same time, he's going to be able to draw in double-teams, which will leave me open to rebound."

Campo turns defense around
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
For the third time in as many weeks, Kansas defensive coordinator Dave Campo is looking to slow down an offense averaging more than 40 points a game with the Jayhawks taking on the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday.
It's a tireless job, which head coach Charlie Weis has admitted is costing the former Dallas Cowboys defensive coach some sleep. But when you're facing a Heisman-hopeful in senior quarterback Landry Jones, a big-play threat junior wide receiver Kenny Stills and backup sophomore quarterback Blake Bell, sleeping will probably lead to nightmares anyway.
Fortunately for Campo and the jayhawks, the countless hours at the office have begun to pay off. What was 2011's last-ranked defense in the FBS is now sitting 30 spots higher than where it ended last season.
"The kids believe in what we're doing." Campo said. "We're
making progress with discipline and making sure they know where they are supposed to be."
TCU is averaging 35.8 points against teams not named the Jayhawks, but when the Horned Frogs visited Lawrence, Kansas held them to 20 points.
It's not just that Kansas is making tackles and applying pressure. The Jayhawks have been stumping some of the nation's best offenses.
The same is true for Oklahoma State. The Cowboys averaged 55.8 points heading into last week's game but were held to 20 points as well.
The only gaffe in Kansas' game came at Kansas State, when the Wildcats exploded for 35 points in the second half. Northern Illinois also scored 30 points in its victory over the lavhawks.
And yet Campo and his staff are doing all of this with virtually the same players that placed 120th in FBS defenses a season ago.
"We've got good players here," said defensive backs coach Clint Bowen. "They just needed to be pointed in the right direction."

— with the exception of K-State
— have been within striking distance at the end of each game this season. Campo's moment of peace came during a rain-soaked Saturday when his player came up with stop after stop.
"I felt calm, really for the first time, in that game," Campo said. "I felt calm that we were getting lined up where we needed to line up, and there was not a lot of looking around and pointing.

Coming from the NFL, Campo is by no means setting any coaching precedent with the Jayhawks' continual improvement.
And even with his background coaching defense, when Nick Saban left the Miami Dolphins to take over Alabama, he brought with him the Dolphins' safeties coach, Kirby Smart, to be his defensive coordinator.
Wolverines ranked 110th for total defense in the FBS. Two years after Brady Hoke pegged Greg Mattison after his time with the Baltimore Ravens. The Wolverines now have the 10th best defense in college football.
No matter what team is being taken over, the first emphasis is on stopping opponents from scoring before worrying about
your own offense. Hoke found Mattison, Saban came with Smart, and Charlie Weis grabbed Dave Campo — whether his players knew who he was or not.
"I didn't know anything about coach Campo," said safety Bradley McDougald, a native of Ohio. "When we got him, all of the Texas players were excited, and I was kind of lost as to why everyone was like, 'We just got the best coach in the world.' But it turns out we did."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Anderson Silva's been doing it since 2005 in the UFC, Georges St. Pierre's been doing it better, Jon Jones has been on a tear for a year and a half. Time will tell. At the rate he's going, he's on his way to number one and possibly going down as one of the greatest ever, too."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What former Jayhawk plays safety for the San Diego Chargers?
A: Darrell Stuckey

et the trash talking begin. Jon Jones is set to take on veteran Chanel Sonnen on April 27. Jones refused to fight Sonnen with short notice earlier in September because Jones believed Sonnen didn't deserve to fight for the belt. Jones originally was set to fight Dan Henderson on Sept. 1 until Henderson injured his knee. With eight days before the scheduled fight against Henderson, UFC president Dana White asked Jones if he would consider fighting Sonnen because of Henderson's injury. Jones declined and agreed to fight Victor Belfort later in September, when he won with a fourth-round submission.

The 35-year-old Sonnen holds an overall record of 28-12-1. Sonnen's build is at 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds. Sonnen is a two-time national champion wrestler at the University of Oregon. Sonnen's last fight was on July 7 last summer, when he was knocked out by Anderson Silva in the second round.
Jones stands at 6-foot-4 and weighs in at 205 pounds. Jones has a clear height advantage and wider wingspan than
Sonnen. Jones holds a 17-1 record in the UFC, with his only defeat being to Matt Hamill in the Ultimate Fighter final in 2009. At 25 years old, Jones is the youngest champion in UFC history and currently holds the belt for the light heavyweight title.
Before the April 27 fight, Jones and Sonnen will participate in the "The Ultimate Fighter," in which they will serve as coaches for fighters contending at 185 pounds.

Harris, who got the start at cornerback
On Monday Night Football, the Denver Broncos beat the San Diego Chargers 35-24. The Broncos came back from a 24-0 halftime deficit to outscore the Chargers 35-0 in the second half. The offense and Peyton Manning led this comeback, but they were not the only reason the Broncos emerged victorious.
Harris, who got the start at cornerback for the second straight week, made the most of his opportunity. Harris intercepted Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers twice, one of which he scored on. Before Harris' second interception, Denver was up 28-24 with about three minutes left in the fourth quarter, but the Chargers were moving the ball down the field. This was until Harris stepped in front of Chargers receiver Eddie Royal to intercept the pass and take it 46 yards to the end zone. This dynamic play by Harris sealed the game for the Broncos and displayed Harris' skill set. It also showed his ability to come

through during the biggest stage of a game.
With the other former Jayhawk cornerback, Aquib Talib, suspended for four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Harris stepped up and showed his ability to contribute in the league as well. Harris is only in his second season in the NFL but looks to be more of a factor with his talent at cornerback.

Team beats K-State for first time since 2009
It's hard to pinpoint what stood out most for the Kansas volleyball team in their 3-1 victory against Kansas State Wednesday night.
GEOFFERY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Kansas runs onto the court to celebrate after winning the match against the Kansas State Wildcats. Kansas beat K-State 3-1.
Or it could have been sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton, who notched 19 kills and only one error.
Maybe it was junior middle blocker Caroline jarmoc, who earned her first career double-double with 11 kills and 11 block assists to accompany a solk block.

The again, sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers contributed seven kills.
eight digs and two block assists in her most extensive playing time of the season.
NSAFT
Albers
"Someone needed to be aggressive, so I was going to go all out, it didn't matter what happened," Albers said. "My teammates responded well to me, kept feeding me the ball."
For the first time in the series' history, both teams faced each other as ranked foes. K-State entered at No. 14, Kansas at No. 21. Jarmoc, who knew little about the rivalry before coming to Kansas, realized this would be one of the best matches in series history.
"I came into Kansas not really knowing about the rivalry as much, because from Canada, you don't really hear about that," Jarmoc said. "But once you get in it, you get it in, and I just wanted to crush them today."
The Jayhawks led the Wildcats in the middle of the second set when coach Ray Bechard decided to take freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery out in favor of Albers, whose playing time has dipped this year because of injury. Although Albers didn't know beforehand that Bechard would use her in the match, she looked as though she had been playing all year, earning a kill and a block assist in her first two points of the match.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
The jayhawks' defense also played a pivotal role in the second set, limiting K-State to a .025 hitting percentage. Kansas won the second set 25-15, responding well to a disappointing 28-26 first-set loss.
"The way we lost the first set could have created a really down mood or depressed stage," Bechard said. "For us to come right back and really get after them in the second set I think was critical."
Kansas was looking to end a four-match losing streak to the Wildcats. To do so, the Jayhawks knew they would need to win the third set, which would force K-State to play from behind. However, a 7-0 K-State run gave them a 14-8 lead and seemingly all the momentum.
But Kansas whittled away at the Wildcats' lead and eventually tied the third set at 23.
"You're not necessarily always controlling a set if you're ahead," jarmoc said. "I don't think at any point in the third set we felt it slip away from us."
Just like the first set, the third set came down to who could handle set points better. Unlike the first set, Kansas held their ground. The Jayhawks fought off three set points in the third set, and a K-State ball handling error gave Kansas a 27-26 lead. Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree and
junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael then teamed up for a block to give Kansas the third set, 28-26.
Their block was one of 18 on the night for Kansas, a season high. The Jayhawks held K-State to five blocks, and it was the first time in the last four matches Kansas outblocked its opponent. Carmichael joined Jarmoc in setting career-highs in blocking during the match, as she finished with seven block assists and one solo block.
"Third set we made some aggressive plays to prolong the set at key times,"
Bechard said. "Tolefle was great. We ended the third set with a big block."
K-State had one final run left in them in the fourth set, using four straight points to close Kansas' lead to 17-16. But the next two points summed up the match for both teams. K-State committed one of their 10 service errors on the night, and Jarmoc and Carmichael followed that up with another block, giving Kansas a 19-16 lead. McClinton ended the match by scoring three of the Jayhawks' final four points, sending the sold-out crowd of 1,300 at the Horejsi
Family Athletics Center into a frenzy
"I love when we have a sold-out crowd, have all my Jayhawk fans there," McClinton said. "The environment is just incredible."
The Jayhawks are now 18-3 overall and 6-1 in Big 12 play. They face TCU Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

OFFENSE
Kansas fans, we officially have a quarterback controversy. After Michael Cummings led two scoring drives in the Jayhawks' futile comeback against Oklahoma State, coach Charlie Weis is splitting time between his redshift freshman and Dayne Crist. With three quarterbacks in the mix — Christian Matthews is still running the "Jayhawk" offense — Weis will have a lot more room to get creative against a tough Sooners defense.

Junior halfback James Sims rushes to the end zone to score the Jayhawks' second touchdown of the fourth quarter against Oklahoma State University at Memorial Stadium. The touchdown was not enough to bring the Jayhawks a victory in their 20-14 loss against the Cowboys.
DEFENSE
If you happen to see what looks like a zombie dragging himself through campus, don't panic, it's most likely a very sleep-deprived Dave Campo. The first-year Kansas defensive coordinator has had a tremendous effect on this year's team — holding both TCU and Oklahoma State to their lowest point totals of the season. For the third straight week he'll be facing one of the nation's top offenses. Get some rest, coach.

MOMENTUM
Since defeating South Dakota State in week one, Kansas has not had much momentum to ride. That all changed with a couple of touchdowns late against Oklahoma State. It was the first time all season the Jayhawks ended the game on a higher note than their opponent, and it may be the best thing Kansas has going right now.
IW
AT A GLANCE
Coach Weis' decision to split time between Crist and Cummings may prove to be the best option. It was obvious that something needed to change, but giving Cummings his first career start on the road against an Oklahoma team that just beat Texas out of the rankings wouldn't have been good for anyone but Sooners fans. Now both quarterbacks will not just be playing to win, but also to eliminate the other from claiming the starting role.
COACHING
If Michael Cummings can perform in Norman, Okla., like he did in Lawrence — and if Tony Pierson is healthy — Charlie Weis may be a little giddy come Saturday. For a coach who constantly flirts with trick plays it would be hard not to think the options that Crist, Cummings and Matthews open up won't lead to more imaginative play calling.
PIT
Weis
PLAYER TO WATCH
This one comes down to a tie and rightfully so. Both Michael Cummings and Dayne Crist will have all eyes on them as each tries to claim the starting quarterback role for the Jayhawks. In Crist's last outing he completed 10 of 22 passes for 136-yards, while Cummings completed 5-10 for 75-yards and a touchdown. Both will need to be better to give the Jayhawks a shot against the Sooners, but the Kansas quarterback battle might make for an equally compelling match.

Cummings
SPECIAL TEAMS
QUESTION MARKS
After taking a week-long hiatus to allow for some healing — and to give other kickers a chance — Ron Doherty is returning to punting duties for Kansas. Nick Prologo will still be handling kickoffs and extra points, but the glaring hole that is kicking field goals is still a costly concern for Kansas. With an offense ranked 109 out of 120 in the FBS, the Jayhawks can't be leaving any points on the field.
Fight
How will the change in quarterbacks affect the running backs?
Charlie Weis made note at his Tuesday press conference that Kansas was a runfirst team. Will one quarterback favor that system over another?
And for that matter, can Cummings hold his own against the second-best defense in the Bie 127?
Cummings has only played in situations with little pressure. How will he play now that he is expected to help Kansas win?
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
One of the Kansas quarterbacks emerges from the rest. That could mean Dayane Crist, Michael Cummings or even Christian Matthews running the "Jayhawk" formation. The Jayhawks have done a great job at limiting opponents' scoring, now they just need to put together points themselves.

OFFENSE
After coming in as a backup in the first three games, running back Damien Williams has evolved into a starter and has made an impact. Williams ran for a career-high 167 yards against Texas last week. He's rushed for over 500 yards and six touchdowns this year. With Williams' recent rise, expect the Sooners to feed him the ball a lot against Kansas. Fullback Trey Millard may also get in on the action; he's been active with 23 touches for 264 yards, which is rare for fullbacks in football nowadays. The offense still revolves around quarterback Landry Jones. He's been a little more quiet on the field than he has in previous seasons but still gets the job done to help Oklahoma win.

DEFENSE
Oklahoma's defense is second in the Big 12 and is one of the best in the nation. The Sooners are seventh in the nation in first downs allowed and 14th in total defense. Defensive backs Tony Jefferson, Javon Harris and Aaron Colvin are the top tacklers on the team. Oklahoma's 4-2-5 nickel package has brought them a lot of good fortune this season. Harris and Colbin co-lead the team in interceptions with two. Even though the Sooners are unaware of who the starting quarterback is for Kansas this Saturday, they will still come out with the same mentality and will do very little to adjust if and when a quarterback change is made.

MOMENTUM
Oklahoma is 7-0 all-time when facing Kansas with Stoops as head coach. The Sooners have always had the best of the Jayhawks since their first meeting in the Stoops era on Sept. 30, 2000. In the seven matchups during the Stoops era, Kansas has never scored more than 21 points and have been outscored 259-90.

AT A GLANCE
Stoops has a lot of strengths on his football team each season, and this year's team is no exception. Oklahoma's offense is ranked fifth in the Big 12 and has been sparked by the rushing game. The defense stands tall at second in the conference. Stoops and his staff have also stressed the importance of special teams, which is currently in the top three in the Big 12 in kickoff return and punt return average.
COACHING
Bob Stoops played defensive back at Iowa from 1979 to 1982. Seven years after playing for the Hawkeyes, Stoops took a job with Kansas State University as a defensive assistant under Bill Snyder. He also spent three seasons at the University of Florida as a defensive coordinator for Steve Spurrier's staff. After he learned from some of the best in Snyder and Spurrier, Stoops took a job as the head coach of Oklahoma in 1999 and is in his 14th season with the Sooners.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Backup quarterback Blake Bell could be one of the most notable backup quarterbacks in college football today. While his five-of-seven passes for 74 yards aren't eye-grabbing statistics, his rushing numbers are doing all the talking. Oklahoma has a lot of plays for Bell that involve him in short-yardage situations. He can help his team get a first down,
10.
and other times he takes the ball to the end zone. Nicknameu the 'Belldozer,' Bell leads the team in rushing touchdowns with seven on the year.

QUESTION MARKS
Kicker Michael Hunnicutt missed two extra point attempts and one goal field this season, but he is still second in the Big 12 among all kickers in scoring with 46 points on the season. Roy Finch and Brennan Clay have handled the kickoff returns and average 26.6 yards per return. On punt returns, Justin Brown and Kenny Stills have done a good job trying to give Oklahoma's offense good field position as they average 16.3 yards per punt return.
Will Oklahoma's defense be ready for both Kansas quarterbacks?
Kansas coach Charlie Weis said both of his quarterbacks will play this Saturday against Oklahoma. But Oklahoma won't know who will start until game time. That forced the Sooners to spend all week preparing for both quarterbacks. Dayne Crist and Michael Cummings are different in their own way, giving Oklahoma defensive coordinator Mike Stoops a lot to prepare for before Saturday's match.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ...
Oklahoma shuts down Kansas in the second half. In last year's meeting, Oklahoma cruised in the second half against Kansas, 20-0. The Sooners eventually went on to win by 30. The Jayhawks have struggled in the second half this season until last week against Oklahoma State. If Kansas carries over its second-half momentum to Norman and expands it to four quarters, fans might be in for an exciting game.

Making sure that all your homework is done, getting out of the house enough to stay sane and trying to get enough sleep can be a tricky thing to do, especially as freshman. Add playing tennis at Division-1 level to the mix, and the result is a daunting task.
For Anastajia Trubica, a freshman from Latvia, getting used to a new country is also in that equation.
"The first week was difficult trying to get used to everything," rubica said.
Being able to rely on her teammates and the people around her as helpful during her acclima-
tion to the United States.
The team aspect is new for Trubica, but you wouldn't know that by watching her play. She and junior Claire Dreyer won their doubles flight at the Tribe Invitational in Williamsburg, Va., earlier this month.
Trubica and Mariajose Cardona are the only two freshmen on the team. Being new to the program, Trubica is quickly beginning to see what it's like to be in the Jayhawk community with all the different levels of support, and so far she is enjoying playing for the University.
"One of the things I like about it is the team atmosphere," Trubica said.
Having teammates and fans
In the first tournament of the season, the Kansas Fall Invitational, Trubica and Dreyer made it to the final round of their doubles flight but lost to fellow Jayhawks Cardona and Haley Fournier.
around cheering for the matches is something she really likes about being at Kansas, and playing in doubles tournaments is a welcomed opportunity.

Kansas fell to 8-6 for the year and 2-4 in conference play after facing Oklahoma and Texas on the road. All the Kansas losses this season have been by only one goal, which has proved especially frustrating for the Jayhawks.
After coming off two losses this past weekend, the Jayhawks hope to bounce back as they compete in their final three matches at home.
"I think the thing that is most disappointing right now is that we're not getting outplayed. We're just not getting results," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "We just gotta keep playing the way we're playing. We're not very far off. We just got to get the small pieces together and get results."
Junior forward Caroline Kastor and senior midfielder Whitney Berry will need to keep creating opportunities as the Jayhawks host the Iowa State Cyclones this Friday. The Cyclones are 10-7 overall and 1-4 against conference opponents.
The Cyclones are an offensively sound team, scoring 36 goals this season. Junior forward Jennifer Dominquez has carried the team on her shoulders, leading the team with 13 goals this season. Kansas is led by Kastor with nine goals, followed by freshman forward Ashley Williams with seven goals.
It will be the job of the Kansas defense to shut down Dominique, who scored two of Iowa State's three goals in its most recent victory against Drake. Kansas hopes to shake off the scoreleaved drought it suffered while on the road, not finding the back of the net since early October versus Wake Forest.
"We've got players who have the talent to put the ball away. But when you're an attacking player and you aren't scoring, it gets in your head a little bit," Francis said. "We just got to maintain our confidence."
welcome the Red Raiders of Texas Tech, a team that boasts a record of 12-4 and is currently riding a twogame winning streak. The Raiders are 3-2 in conference play and still have to face TCU before heading into Jayhawk territory.
Kansas will need to bring power and precision to the pitch on Sunday. The Jayhawks have a loaded arsenal of scoring talent, with five different players scoring this season. That talent will need to break down the brick wall that is the Texas Tech defense, which has forced seven shutouts this season.
On Sunday the Jayhawks will
Kansas has a good chance of scoring, as four of its offensive weapons recently received rankings on topdrawersoccer.com earlier this week. On the Top 100 Upperclassmen in NCAA Division I women's soccer, Berry was ranked 19th and Kastor 48th, Williams
ranked 27th and Dickerson 48th on the top 100 first-year players list.
Kansas' defense will also have to stay solid, as the Red Raiders have scored 30 goals this season. The Jayhawks have a strong defensive line capable of clearing the danger out of their side of the pitch. Kansas also posts two really strong goalkeepers between the pipes, Kat Liebettrau and Kaitlyn Stroud, who have 73 saves and three shutouts between them.
The Jayhawks receive their final two conference matches this weekend, playing Iowa State at 3 p.m. on Friday and facing Texas Tech at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Armstrong resigns from charity following fallout
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — Lance Armstrong stepped down as chairman of his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity while Nike and Anheuser-Busch each said they were cutting ties with him as fallout from the doping scandal that has swirled around the famed cyclist escalated Wednesday.
Armstrong announced his move at the charity in an early-morning statement. Within minutes, Nike said that it would end its relationship with him "due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade."
4 Nike said it will continue to support Livestrong.
Beer-maker Anheuser-Busch did not give a reason for its action.
which followed hours later. A two-sentence statement from U.S. marketing vice president Paul Chibe said simply, "We have decided not to renew our relationship with Lance Armstrong when our current contract expires at the end of 2012. We will continue to support the Livestrong Foundation and its cycling and running events."
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a massive report last week detailing allegations of widespread doping by Armstrong and his teams when he won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005.
The document's purpose was to show why USADA has banned him from cycling for life and ordered 14 years of his career results erased — including those Tour titles. It contains sworn statements from 26 witnesses, including 11
former teammates.
Armstrong, who was not paid a salary as chairman of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, will remain on its 15-member board. His duties leading the board will be turned over to vice chairman Jeff Garvey, who was founding chairman in 1997.
"This organization, its mission and its supporters are incredibly dear to my heart," Armstrong said in a statement. "Today therefore, to spare the foundation any negative effects as a result of controversy surrounding my cycling career, I will conclude my chairmanship."
A
Foundation spokeswoman Katherine McLane said the decision turns over the foundation's big-picture strategic planning to Garvey. He will also assume some of the public appearances and meetings that Armstrong used to handle.

OKLAHOMA

NO. 24 IOWA STATE 4-2 (1-2)
@ OKLAHOMA STATE 3-2 (1-1)
Iowa State cracked a spot in the top 25 as it tries to dig itself out of the bottom tier of the conference. But Oklahoma State vies to have a better offensive performance after a season low of 20 points scored last week against Kansas.
Oklahoma State rushing back Joseph Randle leads the Big 12 with 614 yards. Regardless of whom the Cowboys have taking snaps under center, Randle will be their key against the Cylcones.
Iowa State will rely more on its defense, which is ranked fourth against the run and pass in the Big 12. But its offense has a lot of holes and has been mostly quiet this season. If Oklahoma State's defense can hold Iowa State like it did to Kansas for three quarters, you can expect an upset.
Oklahoma State wins, 31-13
T
TCU
HORNED FROGS
NO. 17 TEXAS TECH 5-2 (2-1)
@ NO. 23 TCU 5-1 (2-1)
Texas Tech is climbing in the rankings after a huge win at home against West Virginia. Quarterback Seth Doege is coming off the best game of his career when he lifted his team after a loss to Oklahoma.
Doege will encounter a TCU defense led by cornerback Jason Verrett, who leads the Big 12 with four interceptions. If Doege wants to carry over his success from last week, he will want to throw the football to the receivers not covered by Verrett.
TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin is still getting used to his starting role, but his game last week against Baylor gave him the lift he needed to built some confidence. But like Doege, Boykin will also be challenged by Texas Tech as it is ranked first in the conference against the pass.
But TCU's secret weapon could come through on special teams. Punt returner Deante' Gray has the highest punt return average in the Big 12. He's returned one punt 70 yards for a touchdown and is on pace to finish first in the Big 12. He could be the difference maker against Texas Tech on Saturday.
CU wins, 28-21
BAYLOR BEARS
BAYLOR 3-2 (0-2)
@ NO. 25 TEXAS 4-2 (1-2)
Baylor and Texas are eager to get this week's matchup underway. Both teams are riding a two-game losing streak as Baylor is seeking its first conference victory of the season.
Baylor quarterback Nick Florence had his worst outing of the season last week against TCU when he threw four interceptions. But Florence can redeem himself against a Texas team that has struggled lately. Wide receiver Terrance Williams, who leads the team in all key receiving categories, will be Florence's most important weapon on the road.
Although this game marks the final match of a three-game home stand. Texas lost its two home games against ranked conference opponents. The Longhorns declined defensively in the last two weeks. Sophomore quarterback David Ash is dealing with a wrist injury, and his status for Saturday is questionable. If this week's adjustments in practice don't show on Saturday for Texas, Baylor could pull off an upset and get its first conference win of the season.
WV
Baylor wins, 28-24
NO. 4 KANSAS STATE 6-0 (3-0)
@ NO. 13 WEST VIRGINIA 5-1 (2-1)
Many people expected this to be a top five battle between two teams that hold a 6-0 overall record and a 3-0 record in the Big 12. But after last week's setback against Texas Tech, West Virginia suffered a huge loss. However, don't count the Mountaineers out yet.
Kansas State's offense has been predominately led by quarterback Collin Klein. He has accounted for 17 touchdowns this season with 10 of them coming on the ground. As a dual-threat quarterback, Klein can keep West Virginia guessing and give K-State a lot of momentum on offense.
However, K-State could be in for a ride. The Wildcats have limited all of their opponents to 21 points or less in each game. That will change when face Mountaineers quarterback Geno Smith
Smith, still without an interception, has thrown 25 touchdowns this season. With West Virginia at home, expect K-State to run into trouble when it tries to hold Smith. K-State has not played a team as challenging as West Virginia. Coach Bill Snyder will want to make sure his defense comes out with its best game of the season. But Smith will play with a chip on his shoulder after last week's loss.
West Virginia wins, 45-35

Keselowski seeks to revive lead at Kansas Speedway
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Brad Keselowski held serve through the first half of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, due in part to a smart strategy with his Penske Racing team.
It just didn't work last week.
Keselowski's lead in the standings was sliced in half when he ran out of gas at Charlotte Motor Speedway 59 laps from the finish of a race that was a chess match for crew chiefs at the drop of the green flag. He had dominated the race,
but had to settle for a disappointing 11th-place finish.
Keselowski and crew chief Paul Wolfe immediately put the miscalculation behind them and got ready for Kansas Speedway, site of Sunday's race and Round 6 of the 10-race Chase.

"I know I speak for everyone ... when I say we can't wait to get to Kansas to prove that our finish at Charlotte was an anomaly, a blip on the radar," Keselowski said.
He goes to Kansas with a slight advantage over the competition: Keselowski got two days of track time on the repaved surface during an August tire test. The track opened Wednesday to the entire Sprint Cup Series for a two-day test, but Keselowski is one of only eight drivers who has already been there.
Wolfe, who guided Keselowski to his first career Cup win last season at Kansas, already has an idea of what to expect.
"We definitely learned a lot about
the new surface at Kansas when we did the tire test in August, so we should be able to roll of the truck with some decent speed," Wolfe said. "It's going to be a very fast place, for sure. I don't think many people are going to venture outside the groove, so passing may be difficult for the first couple of races.
"That means qualifying will be very important and that's something we will work on during the practice sessions. We've shown speed in our cars throughout the Chase and I expect that to carry over to what is, basically, a brand new racetrack at Kansas."
"What got us to this point is being aggressive with our strategy." Wolfe said. "We aren't going to change that approach as we run through the Chase. And 90 percent of time, it works out for us, and we get the finishes we want."
Wolfe had been spot-on until Charlotte, which was certainly an aberration to the strategy — sprinkled with luck — that's worked for Keselowski over the past three months. Very little has backfired — Keselowski got a win in the Chase opener at Chicago and again in a fuel mileage race at Dover. He arrived in Charlotte with a 14-point lead in the standings over five-time NASCAR champion Jimmiie Johnson.
Wolfe, for his part, said nothing will change with the No.2 team going forward.

HOUSING
Regents approve plan to build two new halls
NIKKI WENTLING
nwentling@kansan.com
Changes are underway for Daisy Hill.
The Kansas Board of Regents approved the University's request to build two new residence halls at its meeting Oct. 17. According to the meeting agenda, the halls will be built south of Templin Hall — one hall west of Hashinger Hall and the other west of Lewis Hall.
According to a University news release, the locations of the new, five-story halls will create a quadrangle with existing halls. Each hall will hold 350 people.
Construction is expected to begin in January 2014 and be
completed by the August 2015 move-in date. Once the two halls are built, McColum will be razed and the space will be used for parking.
"I do think we need more parking in that area, but I think it's kind of sad because McCollum is the oldest," said Maya Porter, a sophomore from Olathe who lives in Ellsworth Hall.
"I'm okay with it," Tian said. "When I lived there, I wish it had been renovated."
Deyu Tian, a senior from Yantai, China who lived in McCollum for two years, said he made a lot of friends in the hall, but he understands the need to demolish it.
Building the halls, demolishing
McCollum and creating a parking lot in its space is expected to cost $47.8 million.
According to the meeting agenda and the University press release, the project will be funded through the sale of bonds issued by the Kansas Development Finance Authority.
"The bond repayment will come from a higher housing rate in the new buildings," the press release read. "It will be paid by students who choose to live in these new buildings, not by general tuition or other means."

University student charged with aggravated battery

A University student was charged with aggravated battery and four other charges Thursday in Douglas County District Court.
Won Mo Kang, 19, was also charged with two counts of battery, criminal restraint and criminal damage to property.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman, said the charges stem from an Oct. 16 incident in which Kang and an acquaintance allegedly had several disagreements at various Lawrence locations, including on campus.
McKinley said the victim sustained serious injuries, but none were life-threatening.
Kang, who has no criminal history, was originally arrested on suspicion of kidnapping. Prosecutors allege he would not allow the victim to leave her home, and Huff ordered no contact between Kr

Netsey Allen designed this poster encouraging young people to vote as part of a class project. The posters were submitted to a contest sponsored by the American Institute of Graphic Art's Get Out the Vote initiative, and Allen was one of several finalists from the University.

As a sophomore, Erin Zingré said she remembers seeing older students' submissions for the Get Out the Vote initiative and wondering what she would submit if given the chance. This year, as a "super senior", she got that chance.
"My initial thought was how about we have a donkey and an elephant on a couch smoking a bowl of pot with the caption 'Don't be a lazy ass?' Zingre said. "They were my target demographic, puthodes who don't get out in the booth."
Zingrre was right to target apathetic college students with her work. Less than half of voters ages 18 to 24 say they are definitely voting in this year's election, according to a fall 2012 poll released by Harvard University's Institute of Politics.
Get Out the Vote is a national initiative sponsored by The American Institute of Graphic Art (AIGA).
The posters are currently on display in an exhibit in New York City until Nov. 30. Submissions from Bastein and Mullett were enlarged to be centerpieces in the exhibit.
"I was especially surprised when I found out how big they were," Bastein said. "They're like eight feet tall, which is huge. So I was surprised and happy and proud of us."
This is AIGA's second year sponsoring Get Out The Vote, and the first year AIGA has hosted the exhibition in New York City.
There were 50 finalists, including other University students Eric Norton, Jon Duong, Kelsey Allen, Emily Mullett, Cat Coquillette, Jing Jian, and Alyssa Bastein, Jian and Bastein both had two posters selected.
A group of design students participated in Get Out the Vote during the 2008 election, as well. Professor
The rules were simple: Create a nonpartisan poster that motivates people to vote in the presidential election on Nov. 6.
"I think that made them, as a group, more apt to want to vote," Dooley said.
For Zingré, that research process included the comic blog "Hyperbole and a Hal" After scrapping her initial animals-smoking-pot idea, Zingré chose to create a series of six posters that used internet memes and a part of a quote from the blog. She said her poster appeals to young people because it is "weird."
Patrick Dooley, who assigned the project, said it caused students to think of voting as a privilege.
"I've had several people come up to me," Zingré said. "They didn't know where it came from or what it was but they were like, I'm intrigued. What is that weird little lima bean monster?"
Dooley said the design students primarily researched why people didn't vote.
Copies of all eight Get Out the Vote finalists can be viewed online.

Candidates contend for Hispanic vote
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Elizabeth Alvisar is exactly the sort of voter Mitt Romney needs.
A victim of the brutal economy in this swing state, the 30-year-old tax preparer has been out of work for months. She's a foe of abortion and gay marriage, and was naturally drawn to the Republican ticket.
But Alvisar has switched her support to President Barack Obama because of his support for legislation known as the DREAM Act. While Democrats failed to get the bill through Congress, Obama in August signed a directive that implemented its key provision — allowing young people brought into the country without authorization as children to avoid deportation if they graduate high school or join the military.
"I have a lot of friends who've taken advantage of that opportunity," Alvisar said.
In the heavily Hispanic neighborhood where Alvisar lives, unemployment is high and home values are down. But Obama's immigration stance, and especially his executive order, has locked in support from a fast-growing demographic group that has been trending sharply Democratic in the wake of increasingly hard-line Republican positions on immigration.
Obama's campaign is counting on Hispanics providing the margin of victory not just in Nevada, but also in other swing states such as Colorado, Iowa, Virginia and North Carolina
"They know that he's on the right side of the immigration issue and wants to work with Congress for

Pope canonizes seven new saints
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY — Some 80,000 pilgrims in flowered lei, feathered headdresses and other traditional garb flooded St. Peter's Square on Sunday as Pope Benedict XVI added seven more saints onto the roster of Catholic role models in a bid to reinvigorate the faith in parts of the world where it's lagging.
Two of the new saints were Americans: Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint from the U.S., and Mother Marianne Cope, a 19th century Franciscan nun who cared for leprosy patients in Hawaii.
It seemed as if a third saint, Pedro Calungsod, a 17th century Filipino teenage martyr, drew the biggest crowd of all, with Rome's sizeable Filipino expat community turning out in flag-waving droves to welcome the country's second saint.
In his homily, Benedict praised each of the seven as heroic and courageous examples for the entire church, calling Cope a "shining" model for Catholics and Kateri an inspiration to indigenous faithful across North America.
"May the witness of these new saints ... speak today to the whole church, and may their intercession strengthen and sustain her in her mission to proclaim the Gospel to the whole world," he said.
The celebrations began at dawn, with Native Americans in beaded and feathered headaddress and
leather-fringed tunics singing songs to Kateri to the beat of drums as the sun rose over St. Peter's Square.
Later, the crowds cheered as the pope read out the names of each of the new saints in Latin and declared that they were worthy of veneration by the entire church. Prayers were read out in Mohawk and Cebuano, the dialect of Calungsdod's native Cebu province, and in English by a nun wearing a lei.
"It's so nice to see God showing all the flavors of the world," marveled Gene Caldwell, a Native American member of the Menominee reservation in Neopit, Wisconsin, who attended with his wife. Linda. "The Native Americans are entralled" to have Kateri canonized, he said.
The canonization coincided with a Vatican meeting of the world's bishops on trying to revive Christianity in places where it's fallen by the wayside.
Several of the new saints were missionaries, making clear the pope hopes their example even though they lived hundreds of years ago — will be relevant today as the Catholic Church tries to hold on to its faithful. It's a tough task as the Vatican faces competition from evangelical churches in Africa and Latin America, increasing secularization in the West and disenchancement due to the clerical sex abuse scandal in Europe and beyond.
The two American saints actually hail from roughly the same place — what is today update New York — although they lived two centuries apart.
ing house in his native Brescia; Carmen Salles y Barangueras, a Spanish nun who founded a religious order to educate children in 1892; and Anna Schaeffer, a 19th century German lay woman who became a model for the sick and suffering after she fell into a boiler and badly burned her legs. The wounds never healed, causing her constant pain.
The other new saints are: Jacques Berthieu, a 19th century French Jesuit who was killed by rebels in Madagascar, where he had worked as a missionary; Giovanni Battista Piamarta, an Italian who founded a religious order in 1900 and established a Catholic printing and publish-

The blast also wounded 29 people in the popular shopping district of Bab Touma.

Libyan militias continue to clash against fighters
WADI DINAR, Libya — Pro-government militias battled fighters in a former stronghold of the late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, the fifth straight day of clashes that have killed at least 30 people.
The fighting in Bani Walid, has overlapped with the anniversary of Gadhafi's capture and killing on Oct. 20, 2011. A
year since his death brought an end to Libya's civil war, Bani Walid is the most significant city in the country to still resist the nation's new authorities.
A resident said Sunday by telephone that pro-government militias and fighters in the city were clashing on its outskirts. The resident said there were reports of new casualties, but that the fighting was less intense than a day earlier.

Obama to answer for foreign policy mistakes
Tonight's debate topic is fitting for the whirlwind of controversy surrounding the Obama administration at the moment. President Obama and Mitt Romney will spar over foreign policy in Florida and the terrorist attack on an American consulate in Benghazi, Libya will surely be a topic touched on by both men. It should be interesting for well-informed potential voters to listen to President Obama tout himself as a great leader and symbol of our country overseas in light of the complete lack of leadership following the Sept. 11 attack on our consulate.
There are too many issues for Obama to address all of them by himself; however, a president's administration is like the adage about friends: "abwe me who a man's friends are and I will tell you who he is." Obama hired the people that are responsible
for allowing Americans to die at the hands of terrorists. Instead of taking responsibility, he's helped conjure up a cover-up and allowed others within the administration to take the fall. Our commander in chief has come a long way from "the buck stops here." I guess it now stops somewhere that won't make the president look bad. Everyone from Susan Rice to Hillary Clinton has tried to take the blame for the administration's ineptitude but the blame must fall squarely on the shoulders of their boss: the president.
The facts are pretty damning for the administration.
This wasn't the first instance of violence in connection with the consulate. There were reports of eight attacks on the consulate six months prior to the fatal Sept. 11 attack that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Steevens and three others.
By Billy McCroybmccroy@kansan.com
Americans, Ambassador Stevens' personal security detail consisted of local Libyan bodyguards, not armed American soldiers. Who thought that was a good idea?
Benghazi is like the wild west and we don't put our people's safety in the hands of highly-trained, highly-skilled American troops? If Obama personally knows all of the American diplomats, as he claimed in the second presidential debate, he sure isn't a great friend to have. Not only did he, or a subordinate, ignore the pleas for help,
but they put diplomats in harms way. Not only did the administration fail to ensure the safety of American diplomats and show gross negligence by ignoring the concerns of people on the ground, but they also covered up the truth of the event.
The administration originally said the attack was a "spontaneous" assault sparked by an antiIslam video that came out of the U.S. It took nearly two weeks for the administration to acknowledge it was a planned act of terrorism. It took the CIA a day to obtain information that several of the terrorists were linked with al-Qaeda. The same al-Qaeda that President Obama has told us he defeated. So, if they've been defeated, how were they able to at least help in the bombing of a U.S. concludes in one of the most dangerous parts of the world on the anniversary of their greatest achievement?
Instead of taking responsibility and doing something about it, our "campaigner in chief" is too busy arguing whether a sweeping statement about "acts of terror" is the same as fully acknowledging the act as a terrorist plot carried out by members of a terrorist group we were lead to believe had been defeated in thanks to his glorious leadership. In 2008, American voters had cause to question the Democratic candidate for president's ability to be able to deal with foreign policy; it appears that four years hasn't changed much.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Fake Twitter accounts could contribute to good
Not so recently, Twitter exploded into the world of social media and quickly became the foremost and preferred social media outlet for many people. Twitter allows common people, such as you and I, to pretend as if we are connected with our favorite celebrities, while at the same time projecting our every thought to the world around us.
By Caleb Sisk
csisk@kansan.com
Outside of its primary functions, a multitude of "fake" or "faux" accounts have emerged into the Twitter world. These "fake" accounts are primarily comedic in nature and most often portray some sort of celebrity or famous athlete in an ironic manner, posting tweets that the real person would never sign-off on. A number of these accounts can be found relating to a few well-known figures here at our university. @Fake]effWithey and @Fake]oeDooley are a few of my personal favorites.
Accounts such as these and even @KUBoobs have ingrained themselves into our lives at the University as of late and have quite a bit of sway over the pop culture scene here. While out for a night on Massachusetts Street, it would not be outside the norm to see a crowd of drunken partygoers "Witheying" on the dance
floor. I have also been caught up in the sway of these faux celebrities myself while participating in the alarmingly fun #DooleyDrinkingGame during basketball season.
If none of these references are resonating with you as you read this column, I am afraid I must say that you are missing out on a new facet of the college experience that is completely unique to our university. However noting the amount of influence that these seemingly harmless comedic personalities seem to have, it begs the question as to whether their influence could also be put to a greater use.
@KUBoobs is a prime example of this. In an attempt to promote a cause outside its general mission of spicing up game days with photos of cleavage, the people behind the account have attempted to promote breast cancer awareness by advertising for different local charity events dedicated to the cause. It isn't
outside the realm of plausibility for these local personalities to do a solid for the local community by promoting any number of local organizations or even using their clout within the community to organize a fundraiser of their own.
Boasting more than 26,000 devoted followers between the two of them, @FakejeffWithey and @FakeJoeDooley could easily effect the local community. Just to be clear, I am neither singling out nor condemning either of these personalities for a lack of action, but merely speculating as to whether people such as them could effect the local community.
I enjoy the antics of these faux celebrities as much as the next guy, but I do believe that we could all enjoy their antics even more on an even larger scale while also possibly contributing to a good cause.
Either way, it's safe to say that if you aren't yet among the elite social following of these fake personalities, then you are missing out on a unique local experience that you will be hard pressed to find at any other college in the nation.

Happiness leads to personal success
LIFESTYLE
BROOKLYN, NY - MAY 20TH, 1986 - THE FEDERAL GOV.
College can get the best of everyone. No, I'm not talking about Thursday morning after Dollar Night, but something a little more indepth, like your own personal happiness and success.
Sure, everyone's extremely busy with responsibilities piling up. But before you crack out your books, take a little bit of time to do something special for yourself.
That's when I realized that I feel happier and more confident with myself when I take the time to even throw on a pair of jeans. Taking the time to get ready in the morning energizes me and makes我 less groggy throughout the day. Once I feel like I have done something for myself, I feel more put-together and prepared for the day. The days I usually throw on something lazily, I felt lazy as well.
In high school, I loved to take the time to dress up or look decent for school every day. I could probably count the times I wore "comfy clothes" on one hand throughout those four years. But once I got to college, with all of the Nike running shorts, leggings, and oversized T-shirts on campus, I conformed to the majority and usually out of bed with 10 minutes before I had to get to class. I could feel my self-motivation to try in the morning slowly drag down with my motivation to study.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with wearing comfy clothes and I will definitely not completely stop wearing leggings and T-shirts altogether. While this method is definitely not for everyone, just doing the simplest things can really make a big difference and maybe even motivate you to do other necessary tasks.
My roommate loves to do her nails in crazy, innovative designs. She will redo her nails
It's up to you to find your own niche. If you know of one thing that you can take a bit of time out of your day that makes you happy, it will allow for more time for personal success. Happiness directly correlates with how well you feel motivated to do in school, work, or whatever.
Alain de Botton, modern day philosopher and writer, said in his book "The Architecture of Happiness" that we should basically own our ideas of happiness and feeling better about you. If you are in a better mood, success can be an easier route. So if we do even the smallest thing, it can be beneficial in the long run.
I'm not trying to go all Oprah and yell things like to "take charge of your life," because unlike that saying, this concept is simple. If you haven't already, find some little thing that makes you happy and can take you away from the daily stresses of life.
a few times a week, sometimes more. She says it gives her time to relax from life's daily stresses and do something that makes her happy. Some people love taking the time to hit the gym as that makes them feel refreshed. It all depends on the person, essentially.

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD

Dueling Hitchcock movies hit Hollywood
(1)
Anthony Hopkins endured hours in the makeup chair to complete his "Hitchchick" transformation, "Hitchchick" open in select theatres Thanksgiving weekend.
Which Hitch is which? That's the question many viewers are asking following Saturday's premiere of HBO's original film "The Girl," the already-controversial dramatization of Alfred Hitchcock's power struggle with Tippi Hedren, the ex-model he plucked from diet drink-hawking obscurity to star in "The Birds," the great director's wildly ambitious follow-up to "Psycho"
Screenshots of Hopkins, uncannily transfigured beneath layers of prosthetic makeup and framed in the iconic "Good Evening" profile have been circulating since last April. My only complaint about the performance so far is his voice, which doesn't quite do justice to the aristocratic tenor of the original.
So now we have two Hitchcock stories opening almost within a month of each other, both dealing with notoriously grueling film shoots and each claiming scandalous knowledge of the director's private life, which included the obsessive fetishization of his "cool-blonde" leading ladies and the alleged harassment of sev-
There have been rumblings of a Hitchcock biopic for over a year now, but "The Girl" has seldom been the focus of this coverage. Poised for a Nov. 23 release, another movie centered on the Master of Suspense, this one simply titled "Hitchcock", is snagging the lion's share of the buzz through the laurel-catcher casting of Anthony Hopkins as Hitch and Helen Mirren as Alma, the British filmmaker's long-suffering wife and steadfast collaborator.

@McMovieMan
erat of these actresses, including Grace Kelly and Miss Hedren. Is Hollywood big enough for both films, or is one destined to overshadow the other? Time will tell, but both "Hitchcock" and "The Girl" have merits worth noting in the meantime.
"Blondes make the best victims," the real Hitchcock said on one occasion. "They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints." Julian Jarrod's "The Girl," based on film historian Donald Spoto's book "Spellbound by Beauty," seems to have taken this quote to heart. It serves up a pulpy "what-if?" scenario that finds Miss Hedren (Sienna Miller) being stalked by her director throughout the filming of "The Birds" and its less-successful follow-up "Marnie, only to find her film career sabotaged after rejecting his advances. Hedren, now 82, served as a consultant for Miller on the film and has sworn to its authenticity.
Toby Jones plays this incarnation of Hitchcock as a lecherous, tyrannical pervert who's been given a lifelong pass by an industry fearful of affronting his genius. Imelda Staunton co-stars as Alma, who in this version comes across as a fussy, willful enabler. Jones, the
Fans of the director are less likely to get their feathers ruffled by Sacha Gervasi's "Hitchcock" which promises a far more flattering portrayal of Hitch and the lifelong love affair he shared with Alma. Most of the film revolves around the making of "Psycho" and Hitchcock's endless battle with Production Code worrywarts over Janet Leigh's shower scene, an enduring triumph of sensory horror that arguably birthed the modern slasher film.
same diminutive British character actor who voiced Dobby the House Elf in the "Harry Potter" series, certainly has bad luck choosing high profile roles around the same time as better-known performers. He appeared as true-crime novelist Truman Capote in 2006's "Infamous," a movie that was still in production when Philip Seymour Hoffman won an Oscar for playing the same character in "Capote."
As Hitchcock once said: "Drama is life with the dull bits cut out." We'll see if that holds true when the life on display is his own.

Taylor Swift turns pop with 'Red'
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES _ During the 13 months that Taylor Swift canvassed the globe on her 2011-12 “Speak Now” tour, she was joined onstage by a steady parade of celeb musician friends and admirers: Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber in L.A., Usher in Atlanta, Brooks & Dunn's Ronnie Dunn in her home base of Nashville, Selena Gomez and James Taylor at Madison Square Garden in New York.
On the surface, the guest appearances were simply a bonus for fans, a little something to generate extra sparks, Twitter and water cooler buzz about those shows.
But the move seems to have had an unanticipated side effect on the star and her new album, "Red."
"I reached a moment in making this album where I just wanted to get into the studio with people who do things differently than I do and see how they do it," said Swift, 22, during a recent break in rehearsals in North Hollywood. "It was really more of an experience decision. I really never want to get stuck making the same album more than once."
The new alliances manifest in the big-beat pop chorus of the album's first single, "We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together," which she wrote with Martin and Shellback, who produced it. The title track, her essay on a best-of-times, worst-of-times relationship, opens over a simple banjo accompaniment
"Red" Swift's fourth album, is an unapologetically big pop record that opens new sonic vistas for her thanks to collaborations with pop-world heavyweights including Max Martin and his frequent songwriting and production partner Shellback, Ed Sheeran, Jeff Bhaskar and Semisonic singer Dan Wilson. "Red" will be released worldwide Monday.
MUSIC
but quickly kicks into rock overdrive with pounding drums and a throbbing bass line. The song "22" applies a strong dose of Auto-Tune to mechanize her vocal over what sounds like programmed electronic drums. And she's gained considerable attention for the peppery syncopated rhythms in "I Knew You Were Trouble" and the hints of dubstep she, Martin and Shellback weaved into her tale of yet another star-crossed romance.
With only the most fleeting traces of the country music with which she launched her career, the album creatively too takes her deeper into the pop world than "Speak Now," for which she proudly wrote all 14 songs single-handedly. It became the first album in more than 5 years to sell more than 1 million copies in its first week of release when it came out two years ago. It has since sold more than 4 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.
On the floor of the rehearsal studio, Swift displays the same fire in the belly and intense drive that she exhibited at 17, shortly after the release of her 2006 debut album, "Taylor Swift." But there's a new authority in her voice, perhaps culled from her transition over the last half decade from a wide-eyed ingenee to one of the biggest pop stars of the new millennium.
AWARDS GRAMMY AWARDS GRAMM GRAMM
More obvious to the outside world than all of that is the increasingly sophisticated and refined fashion sense she's developed as a top-rank model and cover girl. During the rehearsal she wore a casual knit long-sleeve sweater mini-dress with black and horizontal white pintripe, tan and brown stylized saddle shoes. The delicate gold chain around her left wrist was offset by girlish, turquoise blue nail polish. Her once curly blond hair was straight and pulled into an efficient, unfussy ponytail. The bangs scattered across her forehead

framed her delicate blue eyes.
"One of the things I'm proudest of is that I feel like every one of the three albums I've put out so far stand alone in one way or another," she said, sitting in a small room on the rehearsal hall. She'd been working with her seven-piece band and half a dozen dancers ahead of their VMA show performance of "We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together," the first single off "Red" that recently brought Swift her first No. 1 hit on the Billboard 100 pop singles chart.
"This album does that too," she said. "The reason being that, with 'Speak Now,' it was really important for me to write every song on it myself. ... And for this album, it was really important for me to collaborate."
"I think the 24 guests she had on the 'Speak Now' tour really opened her mind to a lot of things," said Scott Borchetta, head of Big
Machine Records, the fledgling label he launched in 2006 and turned into one of the music business' rare 21st century success stories largely on the shoulders of a 15-year-old singer-songwriter he had signed named Taylor Swift. "It really opened her mind musically and sonically."
Swift might be two months shy of 23, but she's spent half her life writing songs, and the last eight of those doing it professionally, having landed a songwriting contract with Sony/ ATV Music when she was just 14. With "Speak Now" she set a record for the most songs by one artist to debut in the Billboard 100 pop singles chart in the same week: 10, all of which she wrote herself. She was just 20 when she was honored for her songwriting by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, the publishing rights organization, with its Hal David Starlight Award.

'Duck Dynasty a family affair
TELEVISION
EMILY BROWN
ebrown@kansan.com
When viewers flip the channel to A&E, and see a family sporting camouflage and preaching hillbilly proverbs, it means the beards have returned. The T.V. show "Duck Dynasty" follows the adventures of the Robertson family. This family of hunters became multi-millionaires after founding the company Duck Commander, what they claim is one of the best duck calls on the market.
The show focuses on three different generations of the Robertson family: Phil, the patriarch and founder of the company; his wife Miss Kay; his brother Si; Phil and Miss Kay's sons Willie, Jase, and Jep, along with their wives and children.
Luke McElwain, a freshman from Overland Park, has watched the show since it started. He said he continues to watch because of

"They claim to be one of the best ones made, but pretty much every call company claims this," he said. "It is really about preference, and I prefer a certain product."
Duck Dynasty airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m.

the things the family does while hunting, such as trying to get fresh honey by sucking the bees from the hive with a long shop-vac — something that failed miserably.
"Rednecks and money always equal hours of entertainment," he said. "Plus, most of the things that I see them doing, my friends and I would try ourselves"
McElwain said his favorite character is Willie, the current CEO of the company. In one of the recent episodes, Willie grapples with the idea that his daughter has a boyfriend and decides to take him hunting to get to know him. Before the trip, Willie says, "Nothing makes me happier than a smile on my daughter's face and fear in her boyfriend's eyes."
However, although Pladies watches the show, he does not use the Duck Commander duck call.
"He always tries to get the guys to focus on working, but he always ends up getting sucked into whatever they were doing," he said. "My
favorite thing he did was taking his daughter's boyfriend out hunting. I could see myself doing the same thing if I have a daughter."
Josh Pladies, a freshman from Silver Lake, has also watched the show from its start and is an avid duck and goose hunter. Pladies said his favorite character is Si, a Vietnam war veteran with a wicked sense of humor.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many turnovers has the Kansas Jayhawk defense forced this season?
THE MORNING BREW

Lance Armstrong criticisms reflect issues in cycling world
ARMSTRONG SCAPEGOAT FOR BIGGER
PROBLEMS
Over the past few weeks, Lance Armstrong has been in a bit of a rut. The cycling great and cancer survivor was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, received a lifetime ban from cycling and lost his endorsement deal with Nike.
The champion cyclist appealed his ban and the loss of his titles given out by the U.S. Anti Doping Agency, but the accusations and evidence stained his reputation.
By Jacob Clemen
jclemen@kansan.com
It is my belief, however, that the criticisms of Armstrong are unfair. Yes, it is likely that his performance benefited from dirty actions but that is not an indication of a tainted man so much as it is an indication of a tainted sport.
There is a popular stat floating around the internet that says that in Armstrong's 2005 Tour de France victory if the title was awarded to the next fastest cyclist that wasn't implicated in some sort of doping, the winner would be the 23rd place finisher.
With that in mind, it is clear the doping permeated the entire sport and the separation that we saw from Armstrong truly was his work ethic that pushed him to the top of the cycling world.
While Armstrong may have a stake of being insufferable and arrogant to other cyclist and officials, his work with the Livestrong
Foundation is more than enough to remember him as an overall positive influence.
KANSAS FOOTBALL NEEDS OFFENSIVE
FACE-LIFT
The coaching change and addition of transfer players this season led to some excitement going into the football season this year but through seven games, this season has been nothing but disappointing. The team has a single win, their opening game against the mighty South Dakota State Jackrabbits, and faces a game against Texas on Saturday.
The defense has made some great strides this season as they have limited some very good offenses and created turnovers with very good frequency. Too often, however, the offense has turned the ball right back over or failed to capitalize on great field position.
The offensive line has done a great job run blocking and the three-headed assault of Tony Pierson, James Sims and Taylor Cox has capitalized on the solid blocking to post strong numbers each week.
We know Charlie Weis' reputation as an offensive genius, but this team's passing game has been stagnant at best. The receivers have struggled to get open all season long and when they have been open Dayne Crist has struggled to find them.
wets has already begun to switch things up offensively but more changes need to come to see what type of offense jayhawk fans can expect next season. The offense is broken and new parts are needed to fix it, particularly in the passing game.
FRONTCOURT INJURIES MUDDLE WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFF PICTURE
With the rise of the Los Angeles Clippers, the moves made by the Los Angeles Lakers and the general amount of talent in the NBA's Western Conference, it is clear that it will be much more difficult to reach the playoffs in the West.
With an existing injury to Dwight Howard and recent injuries to both Kevin Love and Dirk Nowitzki, three of the top frontcourt presences in the entire NBA are question marks entering the season.
KU
While Dwight Howard is expected to play.
his injury history creates
doubts about his ability to stay on the court for Los Angeles.
Kevin Love's injury drastically affects the playoff hopes of the Minnesota Timberwolves who already must stomach the injury to point guard Ricky Rubio that should keep him from playing deep into December.
Dirk Nowitzki's injury may have the biggest effect on his team. The Dallas Mavericks won the NBA title two seasons ago, but struggled for much of last season before being swept in the first round of the playoffs. The Mavericks do not have good depth up front and could really struggle with Nowitzki out to start the season.

The Wildcats' big victory Saturday at West Virginia was enough to nudge them past the Ducks, who are No. 2 in both polls but are getting held back by computer ratings that lag behind the other highly ranked teams.
Kansas State moved ahead of the Ducks and up to No. 3 on Sunday behind
Notre Dame is fifth in the standings heading into its game at Oklahoma. The Sooners are eighth.

LSU is sixth and unbeaten Oregon State is seventh.
The Ducks aren't likely to gain any ground this week unless the teams in front of them lose. Oregon plays Colorado (1-6) at home, while the rest of the
teams ahead of the Ducks play ranked opponents.
Oregon should be able to start making up ground Nov. 3. The Ducks play USC that day, then go to Cal. They finish with Stanford at home and Oregon State in Corvallis. Oregon would also have to play in the Pac-12 championship game if it gets that far.
The all-SEC BCS championship game between LSU and Alabama last year notwithstanding, it would seem this season the SEC stands a better chance of working itself out by Dec. 1.
If Alabama and Florida keep winning they'll play each other that day in the SEC championship for a spot in the national title game.

KSU 7-0 (4-0) - WVU 5-2 (2-2)
West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, who didn't thrown an interception all season, threw two against Kansas State Saturday night. Smith held the lead for the Heisman Trophy, but critics now think K-State quarterback Collin Klein is the frontrunner.
Klein had season-highs in many areas, including yards thrown with 323.
Klein shined, accounting for seven touchdowns against West Virginia — three of them through the air and four on the ground.

HORNED FROGS
Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege put up big numbers against TCU's defense. Doege had 318 yards and seven touchdowns passes with his biggest target being wide receiver Eric Ward, who had six catches for 61 vards and three touchdowns.

NO. 23 TEXAS CHRISTIAN 53, 3 OT
TTU 6-1 (3-1) -- TCU 5-2 (2-2)
TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin continued to improve in his new role as the starter. His 26 complements and 332 passing yards were the highest he's had this year. Boykin distributed the ball well, throwing a touchdown pass to four different receivers.
But it would be TCU's three turnovers that would hurt them in the close game. Doege gave the Red Raiders the win after he threw the game-winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Alex Torres.
The Big 12 witnessed one of the most exciting games of the season as Texas Tech outlasted Texas Christian in a game that was decided in triple overtime.

Texas and Baylor both went into Saturday's contest with a two-game losing streak. In the end, Texas snapped its losing streak as Baylor continued its, moving it to 3-3 after starting the season winning its first three games.
Texas running back Joe Bergeron made the biggest impact in the game, rushing for 117 yards and five touchdowns. Wide receiver Mike Davis worked well with quarterback David As as well. The two connected six times for 148 yards and one touchdown.
Baylor quarterback Nick Florence had some weapons of his own. Florence completed 10 passes to wide receiver Terrance Williams for 183 yards and a touchdown. Florence threw two touchdown passes and ran to the end zone twice himself.
But an interception from Florence and a fumble by running back Glasco Martin prevented the Bears from beating the Longhorns.

Quarterback J.W. Walsh threw for a season-high 415 yards as Oklahoma State scored 24 unanswered points after the first quarter to defeat Iowa State.
Walsh completed 68 percent of his passes and helped keep the offense on the field for over 34 minutes. Running back Joseph Randle rushed for more than 100 yards for the fifth time this season. Randle collected 151 yards and two touchdowns to give the Cowboys a boost on offense.
Oklahoma State's defense came through on third down as it allowed Iowa State to convert on only four of 17 third downs. The Cowboys shutout the Cyclones in the second half to pick up the win.

Mixed results in weekend play
ANDREW MORRIS
amorris@kansan.com
The Jayhawks started the weekend needing just one point to secure a spot in the Big 12 Championships. Kansas ended a two-game scoreless streak by crushing Iowa State 4-1 on Friday before losing the Big 12 finale 3-1 to Texas Tech on Sunday.
After a slow start, the Jayhawks began to find gaps in the Cyclones' defense with senior Sarah Robbins and freshman Courtney Dickerson, both coming close to scoring halfway through the first half.
With 19 minutes left in the first half, Dickerson raced down the sideline and played a cross when the ball struck the outstretched arm of an Iowa State defender, resulting in a penalty kick for Kansas. Senior Whitney Berry stepped up to take the penalty, but was denied by a diving Maddie Jobe for Iowa State.
Kansas' pressure finally broke the Iowa State defense when Amy Grow stole the ball in midfield before passing to Dickerson, who was able to tuck the ball inside the far post. Just three minutes later, Kansas's leading scorer Caroline Kastor saw her low shot sneak past the goalie for a 2-0 Jayhawk lead at the half.
Five minutes after the break, Berry got her redemption when
she was brought down in the box after her dummy wrong-footed the defender. This time, Berry slotted home, making it 3-0 for the Jayhawks. With a little more than 20 minutes remaining, senior forward Nicole Chrisopolus scored the first goal of her college career to make it 4-0 Kansas.
"Nicole works extremely hard; I think this year has been her best year," coach Mark Francis said when discussing the senior's contribution to the team.
Iowa State grabbed a late goal when the Cyclone's leading scorer, Jennifer Dominguez, notched her 12th goal of the season on a header off a free kick.
After wrapping up a spot in the conference tournament, the Jayhawks entered Sunday's game looking to add to Friday's win.
Kansas struck first when Texas Tech allowed Courtney Dickerson through on goal and the forward was able to score her second goal in two games, giving the Jayhawks an early lead.
With 10 minutes left in the half, the Red Raiders struck when Dawn Ward headed the ball into the back of the net to tie the game.
As the halftime buzzer sounded, the Jayhawks appeared to score a goal through Ashley Williams. Her shot looked like it was knocked into the net by the Texas Tech goalie before the buzzer声-
ed, but the referee disallowed the goal.
"I thought it was a goal; the ball went in the goal before the buzer," Francis said. "Regardless of whether that was a goal or not, we still had plenty of opportunities."
Kansas started the second half brightly, but soon found itself a goal down when Paige Strahan played a one-two and fired a volley into the top of the net. Nine minutes later, the Red Raiders scored again. This time Briana Rohmer fired a shot that Kansas goalie Kat Liebetrau could only graze with her fingertips as it bounced into the net.
The layhawks almost scored a late goal, but the Red Raiders were able to clear Kastor's header off the line.
Kansas shipped to 3-5 in conference play this year and will either finish fifth or sixth in the league, depending on Oklahoma's final Big 12 game. Kansas will play its final regular season game when the Jayhawks host Northern Colorado on Friday in Lawrence before traveling to San Antonio for the Big 12 Championships.
"At this point for our season to keep going, we are going to have to win the conference tournament," Francis said.

CHRISTOPHER SCHAEDER

A strong performance by sophomore Alina Vats wasn't enough to prevent the Kansas swim team from losing to Minnesota on Saturday by the score of 179-119 at Robinson Natorium.
Vats swept both backstroke events and anchored the 200-yard freestyle relay team.
"She was a bit tentative at Rice, but today she was a lot more comfortable." Campbell said about Vats in a release from KU Athletics. "She really likes racing this level of competition and she had a really good meet."
Senior captain Rebecca Swank captured the other first-place finish, winning the 1,000-yard freestyle
by more than five seconds. Swank also finished second in the 500-yard freestyle.
Other top finishes for Kansas came from senior captain Brooke Brull who swam in the 200-yard backstroke and 200-yard IM. Sophomore Deanna Marks was another person who competed in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly. Freshmen Bryce Hinde swam in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke. Her fellow freshman Haley Molden competed in the 100- and 200-yard freestyle.
The top performer for Minnesota was freshman Kiera Smith, who placed first in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke. Smith also swam in the second leg of the first place-200-yard medley relay team. Minnesota's other first place finisher was senior Annalise Colton in the 100- and
200-yard butterfly.
"I have seen more growth out of this senior class over their four years, in terms of coming in and being somewhat immature coming out of high school, to being very mature, confident, strong women," Campbell said. "Watching their growth over the past four years has been a privilege."
The meet against Minnesota also served as Senior Day for Kansas' eight seniors: Brull, Swank, Alyssa Rudman, Christy Cash, Svetlana Golovchun, Cora Powers, Brittany Rospiski and Madison Wagner.
Kansas' next meet is on Thursday, Oct. 25 in Omaha, Neb., to compete against Nebraska-Omaha.

Kenseth wins caution-laden race
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Matt Kenseth won for the second time in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in a caution-marred race at repaved Kansas Speedway.
The fast new surface and a hard tire contributed to Sunday's race-record 14 cautions, a season high for the Sprint Cup Series.
"You know, everybody has been asking all season long where the cautions have been," points leader Brad Keselowski said. "Well, they flew to Kansas and they've been hanging out here because there was caution after caution."
Nobody was immune from the problems, either, as at least five title contenders had issues.
Jimmie Johnson led 44 laps early, but crashed hard after spinning by himself. He had to stop at least a half-dozen times on pit road for repairs over two caution periods to salvage a ninth-place finish.
"I have never in my 30 years of racing see anyone perform that kind of surgery and not lose a lap," team owner Rick Hendrick said about the No.48 team's work on the car.
It was good enough to keep the Chase margin unchanged with Keselowski, who finished one spot ahead in eighth and maintained his seven-point lead
in the standings with four races remaining.
"I'm glad to have survived the carnage and brought back a decent car," Keselowski said. "Whew! Just a tough day."
Martin Truex Jr. finished second, Menard was third in the first race back for crew chief Slugger Labbe, who served a six-race suspension for an infraction at Michigan.
Kasey Kahne finished fourth and was followed by Tony Stewart, who overcame both a spin during the race and a pit road penalty for leaving his stall with equipment still attached to his car.

Rowing team improves in weekend scrimmage
The Kansas rowing team used this weekend as an opportunity to improve. The Jayhawks travelled to Tulsa, Okla. to compete against Tulsa in a scrimmage. The scrimmage began on Friday when the Varsity Eight boats raced in an 8,000-meter race, which the Kansas varsity wooh.
"Our top boat rowed really, really well, and our second boat had a really good face on Friday," coach Rob Cothold said in a release by KU Athletics. "Across the board everyone improved and upped the level of performance."
On Saturday, the varsity squads completed in a series of scrimmages. This was the first competition for new members to the team, and Catloth raised their performance.
"It was their first ever row against another University, and I hope by being successful it gives them more encouragement to continue to improve and learn the sport better," Catloth said.

For Kenseth, it was his second win in three weeks, but not enough to put him back in the title picture. Although he gained two spots in the standings, he's still ninth in the Chase and 55 points out.
Emporia and the winner last week at Charlotte, finished sixth to maintain fourth in the Chase standings. He trimmed his deficit by three points to 25 behind Keselowski.

TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
Senior defensive end/linebacker Toben Opurum returns to the field as Oklahoma takes possession of the ball Saturday at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The Jayhawk defense couldn't keep up with the Sooner offense, leading to a 52-7 loss for Kansas.
GLASS HALF FULL
Kansas gained 309-yards on the ninth best team in the nation and found success multiple times at moving the ball. The run game continued to be the Jayhawks' bright spot, rushing for 185-yards compared to Oklahoma's 93 -- although the Sooners have a deadly quarterback in Landy Jones -- and for the second consecutive game, Kansas won the fourth quarter.
GLASS HALF EMPTY
Even though the Jayhawks remembered how to finish games in the fourth quarter, it seems to have come at the expense of forgetting how to play the first three. Kansas hadn't been out of reach before halftime all season until getting rolled by Oklahoma in the early goings. While Oklahoma made scoring look so easy a cave man could do it, the Jayhawks couldn't figure it out until the end
of the fourth quarter.
NOTES
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
Charlie Weis was back to his old tricks, but they didn't pan out so well in Norman. Okla. Weis gave running back Taylor Cox a chance to make a big play with a deep pass to tight end Jimmy Mundine, but the pass went incomplete and Cox ended up on the turf.
Dayne Crist was just trying to make a play, but when he rolled out of the pocket on 3-and-10 from the OU 11-yard line, the Sooners' Tom Wort pummeled Crist to the ground, causing him to lose the ball. What should have been points on the board for Kansas turned into a 45-yard fumble return for Oklahoma, eventually leading to another touchdown, putting
DELAY OF THE GAME
the Sooners up 17-0
GAME BALL
James Sims accounted for 158 yards -- more than half of Kansas total yardage -- and muscled his way to the end zone after doing most of the heavy lifting on a 19-play, 80-yard drive for Kansas's only score of the day. The junior continues to impress no matter what the score is.
LOOKING AHEAD
Fortunately for Kansas, there is no time to dwell on this one. The Jayhawks play host to Texas for the Homecoming game next week and after Mack Brown's troops defeated Baylor 56-50 there will be much to prepare for. Best thing for the Jayhawks to do is move on, Oklahoma is a great team and Kansas needed its best game to compete against them, hopefully the Jayhawks still have that best showing to come.
FINAL THOUGHT:
in there is one thing to take away from this game, it's that Charlie Weis will not stay status quo. He has said numerous times that if things aren't working, he will adapt. After getting blown out in like Saturday's game, it's fair to say that not many roster spots are safe and that may be a good thing. Even if the Jayhawks are out of competition in the Big 12, the competition amongst the Jayhawks could produce some favorable results for the future.

Quarterback strategy fails in 52-7 loss
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
First it was Michael Cummings, Then it was Dayne Crist, then Cummings, Crist, and Cummings again, but none of it mattered.
The Sooners stopped every quarterback the Jayhawks threw at them. Oklahoma played like the ninth best team in the nation should, defeating Kansas 52-7.
How bad was it? The Jayhawks had about one punt for every two completed passes.
"We came out early and went nine plays on the first drive and six plays on the second drive," coach Charlie Weis said. "It wasn't like we weren't moving the ball at all, but to get some chunks you have to be willing to open it up some, you can't just bunch it up the whole time."
Weis said that he divided his two quarterbacks into different packages. Cummings was used in tighter bunches because there was potential for a quarterback run,
something he didn't want Dayne
Crist doing.
After keeping both Kansas fans and Oklahoma from knowing who would take the first snap for the Jayhawks, Weis traced out Cummings for his career start.
If Cummings and the Jayhawks would have continued to move the ball as well as they did early in the first quarter, there might have been something to build off of.
But inexperience hurt Cummings, who completed 10 of 21 passes for 111 yards and rushed 21 yards. The mobile quarterback tried to dance around in the pocket long enough for a play to develop. This strategy led to two interceptions and two sacks.
"It's a learning experience trying to make plays when the best play to be made is throwing the ball away." Cummings said.
Crist didn't fare any better. The senior completed three of six passes for 13 yards, lost 16 yards on the ground and coughed up a fumble in the red zone that the Sooners
turned into 45-yard return and touchdown.
When junior wide receiver Josh Ford recovered a fumbled punt at the Oklahoma 11-yard line in the first quarter, it seemed the Jayhawks would have a chance to get on the board.
Crist took over the red zone offense, and had freshman wide receiver Tre' Parmalee wide open on a flat route on the first play. But Crist threw the ball behind Parmalee, and the receiver dove to catch it for no gain.
Weis switched back to Cummings; he hoped Cummings would find an open Kale Pick in the end zone, but that pass went incomplete. Crist came back in and gave up the fumble that turned into 45 yards for the Sooners.
It could have been 10-7. Instead, the lahawks were down 17-0.
"We had a guy open on the play, we don't connect and I think that's a walk in touchdown," Weis said. "I wasn't looking to play musical quartersback. It was just that three
play sequence fit the guys who had practiced those plays from that position on the field."
Kansas would get only two more looks at the Oklahoma red zone. The first resulted in a 30-yard missed field goal, the second turned into something better.
The Jayhawks chewed up most of the fourth quarter on a 19-play, 80-yard touchdown drive commanded by Cummings and led by running back James Sims.
Running jumps Sims rushed for 37 yards, including a one-yard touchdown run to break the shutout with just three minutes left in the game.
nut with the game out of reach at halftime, the last two quarters were about Weis preparing Cummings for his future snaps.
"When the score is 38-0, you might as well get Michael in there and see what we've got," Weis said.

SPECIAL TEAMS
OFFENSE
Don't be deceived by the 309-yards Kansas put up on Oklahoma. Almost 100 of them came in the fourth quarter, long after the game had been decided. It is a plus that the Jayhawks were able to move the ball late in the game, but their inability to sustain pressure and take advantage of red zone opportunities killed them. Meanwhile, Kansas is still looking for a quarterback to consistently complete more than 50 percent of his passes.
Grade: C
The Jayhawks special teams are asking for a failing grade. Kansas muffed the opening kickoff — although those damn rifles firing behind the Jayhawks' kick returners didn't help — and the special teams spiraled out of control from there. Oklahoma returned both a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown while the Jayhawks missed their only field goal attempt — a 30-yarder from Nick Prolago.
DEFENSE
COACHING
What a difference a week makes. The Jayhawks were able to hold the highest scoring offense in the nation to 20 points last week against Oklahoma State and gave up nearly double that amount in the first half against the Sooners. Oklahoma rarely took longer than three minutes to score -- it was able to score 52 points with just under 20 minutes of possession -- giving Kansas fans flashbacks of the Turner Gill era.
Grade: D
Grade: D-
In theory, using two packages built around both a pocket-passing Dayne Crist and a dual-threat Michael Cummings seemed to have many benefits, but the flaws of that plan emerged when Kansas switched quarterbacks three times in one red zone apperance. Weis didn't want to play musical quarterbacks at that point in the game, but didn't have too many options.
Grade: C+

KSU ready for BCS

FOOTBALL
Kansas State continues to shock the world. An ordinary team that doesn't do anything flashy flies under the radar. After the dominating victory against West Virginia, the Wildcats are seen as the real deal with a gritty defense. Heisman-caliber quarterback and genius coach.
All three add up to a lethal combination for a team that can find its way to the BCS National Championship.
For the past six seasons, the Southeastern Conference has dominated the BCS championship, winning six straight titles. It has been two seasons since a team represented the Big 12 conference. The last non-SEC team to win the BCS championship was Texas before the six straight SEC victories.
However, that could all change with the newest edition of the Kansas State Wildcats.
Edited by Christy Khamphilay
The only thing stopping Kansas State is undefeated teams. Between Alabama and Florida, one of those teams will lose. If Oregon loses, then the road becomes less stressful, giving Kansas State an edge.
Kansas State didn't disappoint in Morgantown, WVa. on Saturday. The Wildcats clobbered the West Virginia Mountainers 55-14, and showed that they are primed for a BCS bowl game.
Last year, the Wildcats made it to the Cotton Bowl, but fell short, losing 29-16 to Arkansas. Kansas State hasn't won a bowl game since its 2002 season, winning against Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl.
In the program's 15 bowl game appearances, Kansas State only made one appearance in a BCS bowl. That game was against Ohio State in the 2004 Fiesta Bowl.
Now, the Wildcats have the best chance to get to their second BCS bowl, and this time, it will be for the national championship.
The team will continue to rely on its star quarterback Collin Klein.
And after the victory against West Virginia, the schedule is rather easy for the Wildcats. Kansas State plays ranked teams down the stretch, but the only game that could end in a loss would be against Texas. However, that game is in Manhattan.
In their victory, Klein completed 19 of his 21 passes and threw for 323 yards and three touchdowns. Klein also rushed for 41 yards and scored four times on the ground.
Klein is the Heisman favorite, throwing for 1,397 yards, 10 touchdowns and scoring 14 rushing touchdowns. He has only thrown two interceptions and been sacked five times. Klein was sacked 42 times last season
Though the offense has been superb, the Wildcat's defense might be better. Against West Virginia, the defense held the sixth-best passing attack to just 155 yards. Also, the defense is 17th in average points against at 16.5.
The three-time Big Eight coach of the year and 1998 National Coach of the Year knows how to win. Snyder pounds the football and runs the clock to limit opponents' possessions. He stresses the importance of turnovers, and his team has only four turnovers while causing 16 turnovers this season. Most importantly, Snyder takes an "ordinary" team and turns the players into a powerful team.
Then, the team has coach Bill Snyder, the most important piece to the puzzle.

Kansas defense fails in first half, giving Oklahoma a huge lead

NORMAN, OKLA. — Kansas traveled to Oklahoma on Saturday looking to build off its fourth quarter performance last week. Instead, the Jayhawks were blown out of Norman, and the Sooners had complete control throughout the game, winning 52-7.
The Jayhawks defense came into the game allowing 28 points per game, and had held high-scoring offenses Texas Christian and Oklahoma State to just 20 points. Despite the momentum the Jayhawks have had defensively this season, the Sooners moved the ball and found the end zone with relative ease. Oklahoma scored 28 points alone in the second quarter and went into half-time with a 38-0 lead. It was the largest halftime deficit Kansas had faced all season.
"It was all big plays in the passing game," Kansas coach Charlie Weis said. "I think Dave [Campo] all year long has done a pretty good job of mixing and matching to try to make the quarterback uncomfortable. Tonight it didn't work so well."
Oklahoma senior quarterback Landry Jones threw for 291 yards and a season-high three touchdown passes. Even when Kansas tried to apply pressure on Jones, he was given the protection he needed from his offensive line, and Jones executed by finding three different players for touch-downs.
"He's definitely one of the best quarterbacks we're going to face this year," senior safety Bradley McDougald said. "Some of the passes that he makes, you don't see those in the college level. He's definitely a pro quarterback and he showed it today."
As a team, Oklahoma's offense gained 397 total yards, and the Sooners special teams unit returned both a punt and kickoff
for touchdowns.
"The first half was unacceptable," junior linebacker Huldon Tharp said. "In the second half, we played even with them, which is a positive note. It was just frustrating for everybody."
The most frustrating part about Saturday's blowout loss was that the defense struggled and let Oklahoma do whatever it wanted in the first half.
"They just outplayed us," sophomore linebacker Ben Heeney said. "It was a pretty ugly game."
Kansas learned more about its defense in this game and must make adjustments before it hits the field next week for the homecoming game against the Texas Longhorns.
Kansas now falls to 1-6 on the season and is still seeking its first conference victory. As painful as it is to ride a six-game losing streak, the Jayhawks know they have to make this game a distant memory.
"We have a 24-hour rule where you can celebrate or soak for 24 hours," Heeney said. "But after that, tomorrow you have to come to work and get ready for next week against Texas."

Game-saving block gives Jayhawks a victory
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Getting her first start of the season, sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers blocked seven balls for Kansas, including one that changed the momentum of the match for good.
The Jayhawks led the TCU Horned Frogs 19-17 in the fourth set, but TCU wouldn't let Kansas go on any sort of run to effectively end the match. But off of a serve from junior libero Brianne Riley, an extended rally ensued that would either put Kansas on the brink of victory or give the Horned Frogs all the momentum.
Albers made sure she put Kansas on the brink of victory, blocking senior outside hitter Slane Sunstrum's attack and giving Kansas a 20-17 lead.
"I knew that our middler would be stuck with their middlees because they had been getting a lot of kills," Albers said. "I think that you could see the momentum definitely flip at that point because fighting through a minute-long rally is a lot of hard work."
Fueled by Albers' block,
Redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline jarmoc posted a career-high 23 kills, and sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton contributed 17 kills, three days after recording 19 kills against Kansas State. Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree also recorded 12 kills, the first time since Oct. 6 that she reached the double-digit mark in that category.
Kansas won the fourth set 25-19 to win the match 3-1. The victory moved Kansas to 19-3 on the season and 7-1 in conference play.
Kansas was coming off an impressive 3-1 victory over No. 14 Kansas State on Wednesday, but there didn't seem to be the same urgency against TCU. Although Kansas won the first two sets, they committed 19 attack errors while TCU committed only nine. Eight of the Horned Frog's attack errors came in the first set, when they hit a paltry .057. Kansas wasn't much better, though, hitting .095 in the first set.
The Jayhawks hit a much better. 350 in the second set, and 20 of their points came from kills. However, they still committed
"Sometimes we were playing a little like 'Oh, we can't lose,' instead of 'Hey, let's go out and win.' Bechard said. "And what I thought you saw in the third set was 'Hey, we can't lose.' What I thought you saw at the end of the fourth set was 'Hey, we need to go win.' There's a big difference in those mentalities."
Statistically, the Jayhawks played much better in the third set, with 16 kills, five blocks, and a .324 hitting percentage. But TCU still won the set, 25-22.
The Horned Frogs never got a comfortable lead during the set, but Kansas coach Ray Bechard said the Jayhawks' mentality kept them from making TCU too uncomfortable.
In what's becoming a trademark of this Kansas team, the Jayhawks were able to keep one
"There were times in the match when we weren't fully engaged and that showed with errors," jarmoc said. "Also we were trying to find hands and sometimes hands aren't there so the ball goes out."
six errors, while TCU committed only one. As good as Kansas' hitting percentage was, TCU's was an even better. 440.
bad set from snowballing into a bad match. Behind jarmoc's eight kills, the Jayhawks hit .375 to win the fourth set 25-19. In this set, playing to win like Bechard described, they committed fewer attack errors than TCU for the first time all match.
Despite the Jayhawks' up-and-down hitting, blocking remained a strong point all match long. Kansas blocked 12 balls, including five in the third set. The Jayhawks' two blocks in the fourth set came at the most critical of times, including Albers' block at the end. She led the Jayhawks with three solo blocks and four block assists, and Tolefree added five block assists.
The jayhawks begin the second round of Big 12 play Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. on the road against Iowa State.
"They were definitely more of a spread-out block this time," Jarmoc said. "They were definitely worrying about our pins a lot so T (Tolefure) and I were able to go at their middles and they weren't moving laterally as well so we could just beat them with out speed."

EDITOR'S NOTE
A century full of tradition
By Victoria Pitcher
vpitcher@kansan.com
One hundred years is a long time for anything to be around. Something I have learned to love about KU is how proud we are of our traditions. Homecoming is one of those. This year we celebrate 100 years of homecoming.
After browsing through archive photos of homecoming, what I came to notice is how big of a deal homecoming queen was. For every photo of a parade or bonfire, there were five photos of the homecoming queen. But the tradition of homecoming queen ended
in 1969 because of racial tensions and a student outcry to stop it. Now that's a story, page 9.
I've learned a lot about homecoming throughout this process, but I have never been. And so my goal this year is to actually see what this homecoming stuff is all
about. So my advice to you is this: Don't miss out on this opportunity to share the traditions of homecoming, new and old. Especially if you are a senior like me, and this is your last chance to experience what homecoming has to offer.
Special thanks to the University of Kansas Spencer Research Library for usage of past homecoming photos.

1969 homecoming queen candidates, from left: Jan Merrick, Candice Heavin, Nancy Watson.
1969 was a time of extreme political and social unrest at the University, creating a tense oncampus atmosphere.
With the Vietnam War in full swing, anti-war riots and demonstrations were a part of everyday life. In the midst of chaos, the campus was shut down early that year, giving students the choice to either keep their current grade and leave or stay for finals and try to raise their grade.
After the 1969 Homecoming game, the 44-year-old tradition of a KU Homecoming queen met its end.

"I remember the fires; the Student Union was burned. Fires were set in garbage cans during classes. We never got used to it." Homeconning queen runner-up Candice Benn said.
Benn, who lived in McCollum Hall, remembers the day U.S. troops invaded Cambodia. The campus was on a full lockdown. No one could go outside for hours,
and students could only watch as the National Guard patrolled the streets with guns.
Among the volatile political climate, there was an unsettling social climate. Every year, a white female student was crowned Homecoming queen to represent the school in the homecoming ceremonies. Sororities and dormitory halls nominated a candidate to be in the race for KU's Homecoming queen. Then the race was narrowed down to three and the winner was announced at halftime of the football game.
and demanded representation in the homecoming events of 1969," Wilson said.
This award was of high prestige because the winner traveled across the state and spoke at events. Black students were not included and could not be nominated for homecoming candidate.
The Black Student Union created a parallel process by electing an African-American queen who was also presented during the football game. Lorene Wilson was the first BSU queen elected.
"The white establishment could not and did not represent our position, aim or goals. We wanted
BSU wasn't the only organization to take action against the Homecoming queen tradition. Many student organizations used drastic measures to end this tradition, shocking KU staff and alumni at the time. 1969 would be the final year of the Homecoming queen. The selection of only white women to represent the University at homecoming proved to be an outdated and inappropriate custom.
"It ittled encompass the whole campus; people of color weren't invited or nominated. The tradition needed to go." Benn said.
The abolishment of KU's Homecoming queen received national attention. The Chicago Sun-Times fully supported this decision in an editorial declaring, "Kansas is now less corny," citing the Homecoming queen elections as irrelevant to the educational purpose of a university.
Fourty-three years later, KU students are selected to represent
the University at Homecoming with the Ex.C.E.L award. This award started in 1991 and is still continued today with the election of a male and female each year based on leadership and academic
qualities. BSU continues to nominate a king and queen each year, and recently added a prince and princess portion as well.
"For over thirty years, no homecoming queen at KU. Wow, we
made a great impact on campus," Wilson said.

KU homecoming events give back to United Wav
LELLY GRIMM
Homecoming is filled with events geared to celebrate University traditions, but they are also intended to benefit the Lawrence community.
egrimm@kansan.com
Proceeds from many events go to the United Way of Douglas County. Kansas organizations such as the Girl Scouts, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Club, Douglas County AIDS Project and the Willow Domestic Violence Center benefit from money given to them by the United Way. "Lawrence is such an integral part of the KU experience and being involved is a way to give back," said Steering Committee Director Matt Araiza, a senior from Plano, Texas. "It's also a great way to raise awareness about KU programs."
Fundraising events began yesterday morning with the lajayhawk Jog down Massachusetts Street. The week-long Stuff-the-Bus event also began yesterday at local Dillons
locations. Community members are encouraged to donate non-perishable items that will be distributed by the United Way.
"We mainly looking for canned and dried foods, non-perishable stuff but we're not picky beyond that," said co-publicity chair Zach McQuiston, a senior from Shawnee.
Co-publicity chair Lindsey Bloom, a junior from Overland Park, said that Stuff the-Bus will be a contest between the community members and students as well as between the Dillons locations.
The mural competition will also be used to fundraise. During the competition participating organizations will submit a mural celebrating the University's centennial anniversary. There will be a peoples' choice award given to the mural that has garnered the most donations. The theme for the murals is the same as the homecoming theme, "Century Long, Tradition Strong."
"Students will be able to really get creative with what's happened around here the last 100 years," Bloom said.
There will also be a book drive held throughout homecoming week. People may donate new or gently used books at the Adams Alumni Center to help the United War comit illiteracy. Donations will be taken every day during homecoming week at the Alumni Center from 10:00 a.m-2:00 p.m.
Pregame Pancakes will be served in the Alumni Center parking lot before the football game on Saturday. The event will begin at 9 a.m.
"All the week's events are geared for students and community members to share in the lajayh spirit and sense of community that gives back to Lawrence partners," said Araiza. "It's an easy way to be involved and it's fun."

Ex.C.E.L award honors leaders
The Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership Award is given out yearly to two University of Kansas students during the Homecoming football game.
"I was really honored," said Emily Lamb, one of the 2011 Ex.C.E.L. award winners. "It was a validation that what I'd done was important and embodying the KU spirit. I realized how important it is to recognize that you can't do it without a team."
The nominees are first nominated by students and faculty. The nominees are then notified and are sent a link to the formal application, where they submit a resume, a letter of recommendation, answer essay questions and then have a panel interview. The committee consists of various representatives from the campus and the Homecoming Alumni Association

KU band marches on
lhavens@kansan.com
LYNDSEY HAVENS
Regardless of victory or defeat, there is one group of dedicated students who manage to keep spirits high: The Marching lawhaws.
Cody Janousek, a senior from Lawrence, has been a band member all four years of his college experience.
Janousek said although a normal half-time show includes only current band members, the Homecoming half-time show includes visiting alumni.
"It's a little stressful to prepare for because we just play one song with the alumni where normally we would be playing two movements," he said. "So I guess the Alumni Band is different in that we need to let them have their fun too. They get their chance to go out
there too and play something that everyone is going to like"
Janousek said he appreciated the Alumni Band and said he would consider joining once he has graduated.
"I just feel like you play the instrument so much that it becomes a part of your college experience, so to be able to play it again would be like Cole Aldrich coming to play in our basketball game," he said. "It's just fun to get back in."
Jeff Underwood, vice president of the Alumni Band Chapter, is a Lawrence native and graduated in 1980. Underwood has played with the Alumni Band for about 30 years.
"Some of my fondest memories are in the marching band, especially the people you meet," Underwood said. "A marching band is a shared personal experience. I wanted to
maintain that. It's great to come back and see guys whom I haven't seen in a long time."
Underwood said there are many differences between a band member versus an Alumni Band member.
PARADE
"Generally our shows are pretty simple which is good because a lot of the guys haven't marched in a while or march once a year, like me," he said.
Differences aside, Underwood said the reunion and collaboration is a good time.
The band is on their way to the stadium.

"Century Long, Tradition Strong." In celebration of this theme, next week's centennial homecoming will bring back a homecoming tradition. The homecoming parade, held on Saturdays for the past 10 years, is scheduled for Friday this year.
"This year we wanted to do the parade on Friday," said Kayla Boal, parade committee chair. "It was held on Fridays about ten years ago, and we thought we would bring back the old tradition since it is the 100th year of homecoming."

the route.
With the new route, parade spectators will follow the floats to the Alumni Association parking lot where a pep rally is scheduled directly after the parade. The committee also added food vendors, that will be stationed throughout
"We just want it to be fun for the people," Boal said.
Boal said any student group or organization can participate by making a float or walking in the parade. Groups can enter their floats in either the competitive or non-competitive category.
The Marching Jayhawks perform in the homecoming parade every year. Band member Collin Fassold, a senior from Oathe, will be marching in the parade for the fourth time at this year's homecoming.
"The parade is a lot of fun as a marching band member," Fassold said. "We get to march with the alumni members. To be able to
hear the stories of the ones who came before us is a great experience."
The KU Alumni Band, community members and students participating in the parade are all a part of the homecoming tradition.
"I would say that to truly appreciate KU, you must immerse yourself in the tradition." Boal said. "The parade is something you have to see to believe. It's just such a special tradition."
Fassold agrees. He said traditions such as homecoming and the parade are what unite and connect the University.

Businesses support homecoming
JESSICA MITCHELL jmitchell@kansan.com
The University's 100th homecoming is hoping to produce a memorable week with many festivities. The homecoming committee has organized events that allow for town involvement and are partnered with various funded agencies.
23 BREWERY
Local businesses such as Paisano's, The Bird Dog Bar, 23rd Street Brewery, Bigg's BBQ and Dillons are all incorporated with the week's events.
The Food Fest will take place on Oct. 25 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Adams Alumni Center.
The assorted restaurants will be vending at the Homecoming Food Fest. They are all paid through KU Alumni Association and Coca-Cola funding, making the event free for students and other community members.
24rd st. brewery is one of many local businesses providing food for the Homecoming Food Fest. The Food Fest will be held on Thursday, Oct. 25 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.at the Adams Alumni Center.
Community involvement doesn't stop with local businesses, however. Various funded agencies partner with homecoming events to support a positive cause.
the partnership.
VICTORIA PITCHER/KANSAN
"The United Way of Douglas County is our main partnership," said Mathew Araiza, director of homecoming steering committee. "The Homecoming events where we raise money at, like, the Jayhawk Jog and Pregame Pancakes all go toward benefiting the United Way of Douglas County."
Colleen Gregoire, United Way vice president and campaign director, has made it her business to become familiar with the working committee in hopes of expanding
"I think it's beneficial for both sides," Greiore said. "I have an opportunity to share information with the committee members about all the different United Way agencies... I think it has opened the eyes of some of the committee members to even create additional fundraising events that will target one of our community goals."
Other events include Stuff the Bus and Lawrence for Literacy Book Drive. Stuff the Bus is a food drive that will benefit Just Food, a partner funded agency of the United Way.
"The partnership with both of these has been going on for several years," said Alexandra Null, a member of the homecoming community outreach committee. "But, with this being the 100th homecoming, our
goal is to make it an even bigger and better event."
Dillons will be hosting Stuff the Bus events as well as providing food barrels and cash boxes.
Tilyn Bell, a freshman from St. Francis, is looking forward to celebrating homecoming with her sorority, and she thinks town
involvement should be increased.
"KU is such a positive school, and we do so much," she said. "Lawrence should really support us and just be involved because there is a lot of awesome things that go on here."
Homecoming week depends on community involvement and cooperation with the University.
"I think that it has become a really great partnership of effort and awareness," Gregoire said.

Steering committee encourages all KU students to participate in events
SAVANNAH NELSON-TYRRELL styrell@kansan.com
But there is still hope for nongreek students to participate.
Go greek or go home for homecoming? Not necessarily. There are many ways non-greek members can get involved in the week's events.
If you are involved in the greek system, you probably have no problem getting involved in homecoming week at the University. It is a long-lasting tradition that Greek students join together for a good cause, using homecoming week to show off their houses' philanthropies. It is easy, though, for student groups not associated with the greek system to get left behind, hidden in the shadows of intricate floats and in-your-face house competitions.
According to Zack McQuiston homecoming publicity co-chair, all students can find available activities in the homecoming informational packet on the University's website. Along with the contests, competitions and games, there are several opportunities for volunteering. In the packet, students can find everything about homecoming, from a schedule and description of events to a listing of available awards.
McQuiston also noted that there are two separate brackets for homecoming week competitions, a
"Although the perception is that greek organizations are the ones that participate in homecoming, and may be a little easier for them, all of the philanthropic activities are related to United Way of Douglas County, which is a great incentive in itself for any student to get involved," McQuiston said.
greek category and a student group category, so the stigma about competing against greek organizations is unnecessary.
Morgan Grahek is not getting involved in homecoming, but not because she doesn't want to.
“There is nothing that I know to get involved in. Most of the greek life does that,” Grahek said. “But I will be going to the game.”
Nicole Bunten, a freshman, is a non-greek student who will be participating. Bunten is a member of the KU Marching Jayhawks, and will play in the homecoming parade.
"We just march a parade on campus, and play fight songs for the parade-goers." Bunten said.

Senior and Freshmen KU students experience Homecoming in different ways
Freshman perspective
ALLISON KITE
akite@kansan.com
Homecoming. A year ago, the word meant something completely different to current KU freshman. Sure, high school homecoming instilled school pride, but this year homecoming takes on a whole new meaning. As Annie Matheis, a freshman from Overland Park and a member of Student Union Activities, explained it, "I actually really don't know what to expect because I know it's so different from the homecoming that we had in high school."
For most high schoolers, homecoming meant a football game and a dance. It was a time to celebrate their pride in their high school and to have a fun time at the dance. However, a college homecoming carried far more weight. Alumni return, students craft floats, and tradition is everywhere.
"All the alumni get to come in, and you're realizing how many people have been through KU and have been where you are and are cheering for the same thing that you are, and they are so in love with something that you're so in love with," Matheis said. This makes homecoming a time to reminisce about the University's past as well as a time to look toward the future.
This is especially true this year, because the University is celebrating its homecoming centennial.
Emma Hogg, a freshman from Overland Park, is excited to see the differences between a college and high school homecoming.
"I'm looking forward to all day activities on Saturday and seeing what all KU has to offer that I didn't get to experience at my high school" Hogg said.
Many freshmen, including
Hogg, get involved with homecoming for the first time through Greek life. Though she doesn't know exactly what to expect from the week, Hogg has heard nothing but good things about homecoming from the upper-classmen in Pi Beta Phi.
Mary LeRoy, a freshman from Leawood, looks forward to being on the float committee for Chi Omega.
"I hear that it is really competitive among the sororites and fraternities," she said.
Although they can speculate and ask questions about homecoming to upperclassmen, the freshman class won't really know what homecoming means until they get the chance to experience it.
Edited by Sarah McCabe
Senior perspective
The weeklong celebration known as homecoming invites all current and former jayhawks in a collective show of KU pride. It is an especially monumental time for the University as it celebrates the 100th homecoming since the 1912 football game against the Missouri Tigers.

For seniors, this centennial might be the last homecoming they will ever see, the last chance they will have to show their school spirit as a student. Despite this, the large majority of these students that have never participated in homecoming before will likely remain uninvolved, depending on their affiliation with certain student groups.
According to the University website, many homecoming events are separate for those in a fraternity or sorority and those who are not, in which student groups can contribute their time and money toward the betterment of the University. Greek life draws the vast majority of student involvement for homecoming, and has left some like Ammara Siddiqi, a senior from Wichita, wondering why she should get involved.
"I don't know much about homecoming, especially because KU doesn't seem to advertise or explain its purpose very often," Siddiqi said. "I've never really seen the point in participating if I'm not in a sorority."
The different goals among student groups have effectively distanced these two populations within the homecoming celebration, but prove that student involvement is often a result of group efforts rather than individual interest. In other words, students are less likely to participate if they have no association with clubs or Greek life.
the same for people in Greek life and those who aren't. I think it's more of a commitment thing." Rasmussen said, "For example, the clubs that are not Greek-affiliated don't have as many opportunities to work on a homecoming float as we do, so it's understandable that some people won't participate."
Joe Rasmussen, a senior from Prairie Village, Kan., has been participating in the homecoming events with his fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, since freshman year. "The events are basically
The eventful week of homecoming is an important one for many fraternities and sororites, as it is an opportunity to welcome back former chapter members and to gain prominence in the university community.
Regardless of your affiliation with the campus community, Jayhawks of all ages are invited to celebrate Kansas' 100th homecoming with several events leading up to Saturday's parade and football game against Texas. For those interested in getting involved in the centennial, a full schedule of homecoming events can be found on the University website.

This year, homecoming and Family Weekend will coincide on Oct. 27, welcoming parents, siblings and other loved ones to the University to participate in homecoming festivities. For many students, family is one of the most important aspects of their college careers.
Family Weekend gives students an opportunity to reconnect with their families after time spent away at school. Nicole Peterson, a senior from Independence, said she enjoys participating in homecoming traditions with her loved ones during Family Weekend.
"My parents, my brother and his wife usually come up for Family

Weekend," Peterson said. "We go to the game, go shopping and grab dinner on Mass. Street."
With Family Weekend falling on homecoming this year, whole clans of Jayhawks have the opportunity to come together.
For students like Peterson, whose family is filled with University graduates, Jayhawk pride is a part of family tradition.
"My family going to KU had a pretty big impact on my choice of
school," Peterson said. "Both of my parents are alumni, and my brother attended as well."

By mid-October, the transition to college is more routine for freshmen. However, homecoming at KU is new territory for those new to campus and college life.
Unlike homecoming in high school, there are no dances, no royalty and more activities. The numerous events can be intimidating for new students. Homecoming publicity chair Lindsey Bloom said the events from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 22-26 on Wescoe Beach are good places to start for those wanting to be a part of the homecoming tradition.
"If [freshmen] don't have an organization to get involved with, the events on Wescoe Beach would probably be the best," Bloom said.
These events will feature giveaways, prizes and opportunities to learn more about KU's centennial homecoming.
On "Monday Funday," there will be a homecoming spirit photo booth for students to take snapshots of themselves and their friends.
The "Chalk 'n' Rock" contest on Tuesday and the Mural Contest on Wednesday are opportunities for groups to showcase their artistic talents by creating art relevant to the theme, "Century Long, Tradition Strong." Thursday's theme is "Rock Chalk Day" and Friday is "Crimson and Blue Day."
Bloom also suggested getting involved in "Stuff the Bus" on Sunday, the 3-on-3 basketball tournament on Monday and Tuesday and the pep rally and parade on Friday. She said attending homecoming events with people on their dorm floor is a good way for freshman to experience the festivities as a group.
One aspect of college homecoming that might differ from some high schools is the focus on athletics.
"There is a lot more emphasis on the football game," said Alex Burtin, a freshman from St. Louis.
The game is significant in giving families a bonding opportunity. Burtin said he is looking forward to his mom, dad and two sisters visiting and going to the game
with him.
Homecoming at KU is more than just a week of fun and football. Proceeds from some of the events such as the Jayhawk Jog 5K run/walk and mural contest, and a campus-wide book drive will benefit the United Way of Douglas County.
"The United Way benefits a lot of different organizations around Lawrence and all of Douglas County," Bloom said. "We actually have a cause that we're working for instead of just a fun week of showing school spirit."
To stay connected and learn more about different events during the week of Oct. 21-27, visit the Homecoming Steering Committee's Facebook (KU Homecoming) or follow them on Twitter (@KU Homecoming).

Family, alumni motivate players for homecoming
MARIAN MCCOY

For many football players at the University, homecoming weekend turns into an exciting family reunion filled with parents, alumni and old teammates — an intersection between past and present.
"Old players come back and you always want to put on a good show for them and do on the field what they used to do and show respect to them." Toben Opurum, senior linebacker from
Richardson, Texas said.
This year the Jayhawks will play the Texas Longhorns for its homecoming game. Although this is an exciting time for the fans, members of the team said they look forward to seeing old players and showing them the strides they are making as a team.
"It's always a big deal," Duane Zlatnik, a senior offensive lineman from Rossville said. "You got your alumni coming back to see how we're doing and see them after the game and they will tell you what they think about the
team and they will be honest with you"
Although the homecoming game is usually the only homecoming-related activity the players have time to get involved in, the game offers plenty to get excited about. This includes the excitement of seeing the new jerseys they receive for the homecoming game.
"Every homecoming game we get new uniforms, and we usually come out with something we've never seen before," said senior offensive lineman Trevor
Marrongelli, a senior offensive lineman from Austin, Texas. "Last

Staying focused can be hard
with all the distractions the game brings, but many players admit they try to treat the homecoming game as just another game. They also admit having parents in the stands showing their support makes it that much more important to pull off a win.
"I like having my family up there, it gives me extra motivation to make a play just cause I know they are up there watching so I feel like I need to do something for their traveling," Bradley McDougald, a senior safety from Dublin, Ohio said.
The crowd also generates a lot of excitement, which motivates the players.
"The atmosphere around campus, it completely changes the people at the game," Marrongelli said.
Although the homecoming game doesn't always result in a win for Kansas, it does make for one large, and fun, family reunion.

PERSONAL HEALTH
Campus mental health groups advocate for suicide awareness
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
When she was 15 years old, she searched up and down the highway and streets looking for her mother.
Looking with her father and brother, Wichita sophomore Ashley Farris recalled the details of the day they spent looking for her mother, who left a suicide note saying she was going to run her car into whatever she found.
Farris has never been allowed to read the letter, but her father eventually got her mother on the phone, and the family went and picked her up.
"I was shocked and scared" Farris said. "I just remember wondering what I do if we didn't find her. I was absolutely terrified."
Her mom suffered from depression, and her father didn't understand.
"There was a lot of tension," Farris said. "My father always thought suicide was stupid and he thought it
was ridiculous having that many emotions"
But that wasn't the only time Farris was confronted with suicide. A close high school friend suffering from schizophrenia also tried to kill himself.
"I realized it's a bigger problem than we think," Farris said.
Since last fall, four University students or staff members have died from suspected suicide. Groups like the one Farris formed this year aim to prevent future occurrences.
Suicide Isn't Stupid, the KU chapter, formed by Farris works to educate people about suicide, mental illness and provide a discussion forum for the KU community. It is open to both those struggling with mental illness or thoughts of suicide themselves or those who know someone suffering. It meets biweekly and will meet tomorrow at 8 p.m. on the top floor of Nunemaker Center.
Despite the idea that college is full of the best years of your life, in 2009 the American College Health
Association found that nearly 30 percent of college students reported being so depressed, "it was difficult to function" during the past year.
At KU Counseling and Psychological Services, counseling, psychiatric services and ADHD screenings are offered to all enrolled students. Christian Vargas, CAPS outreach coordinator, stressed that no one is more or less susceptible to suicide and mental illness than others, and it is treatable.
"Suicide and mental illness do not discriminate," he said. "Anyone is susceptible. If someone talks to you about suicide, it is important to take them seriously."
Other campus groups like Active Minds, a mental health advocacy group, also offer support. Maggie Chiu, the group's president, said they want to reduce the stigmas associated with mental illness.
"We hear people referred to as crazy," Chiu said. "Stigma can be very powerful, as it provides unnecessary shame." She said
students often suffer in silence because they don't know where to turn.
To educate students about signs and getting help, the group is hosting a National Day Without Stigma today from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Stauffer-Flint lawn. Armed with candy and bubble wrap to stomp out stigma, Chiu said they want to create a community of understanding.
For Farris, creating moments of fun for those who are struggling makes all the difference. She said her mother received treatment and is back to her usual self.
"If you're in that low of a place, sometimes having fun with a group of strangers or friends makes a huge difference," Farris said. "I'm no psychologist, but I feel like giving them a moment of hope or fun gives them something they might be missing."

What you should know about signs of suicide
Q. How does depression affect college students?
A. In 2009, the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment found in a nationwide survey of college students at 2- and 4-year institutions nearly 30 percent of college students reported feeling "so depressed that it was difficult to function" at some time in the past year.
Q. What are the signs or symptoms of someone who may be contemplating suicide?
Q. What causes depression?
A. 1) Personality changes
2) Too much or little sleep, headaches, weight loss/gain, nausea/fatigue.
3) Behavioral changes including withdrawal or isolation, not attending classes, difficulty with family or friends, excessive alcohol or drug use, breaking up in a loving relationship, giving away favorite belongings, engaging in risky actions (reckless driving or fights), or obtaining an item for killing themselves (gun, sleeping pills).
A. Depression does not have a single cause. Several factors can lead to depression. Some people carry genes that increase their risk of depression. But not all people with depression have these genes, and not all people with these genes have depression. Environment—your surroundings and life experiences, such as stress, also affects your risk for depression. Stresses of college may include:
- Living away from family for the first time
- Missing family or friends
- Feeling alone or isolated
- Experiencing conflict in relationships>
- Facing new and sometimes difficult
- Facing new and sometimes difficult school work
- school work
- Worrying about finances
How to Help Someone Who is Suicidal
• Show support by taking your friend's pain seriously, keep in touch, be interested and believe threats of suicide.
- Listen, be calm and if your friend's talk frightens you, say so and express concern.
- Talk and offer positive actions, alternatives and establish hope for the future.
- Stay close and find out if there is a plan for committing suicide and how far it has gone. Seek professional help immediately.
- Have your friend agree to not attempt suicide while you're finding help.
- Do not assume the situation will go away, leave your friend by him/herself, keep the situation secret or react in shock.

A study released earlier this year by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business reports that college students are more likely to choose social media over sexual activity.
Social media harder to resist than sex
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschlichting@kansan.com
To Amelia Magerl, a senior from Lawrence, social media is more important than sex.
"Personally, sex has never been something I'm interested in, whereas social media is such a big part of life these days," Magerl said. "It would be really hard to live without it to be honest."
It may be hard to believe, but according to a study released earlier this year social media is harder to resist than sex.
The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
They recorded 205 adults' desires over one week and found that sleep and sex were the strongest desires, but the need for social media and work were the hardest to resist. The study also shows alcohol and cigarettes, although highly addictive, were some of the least desired.
Magerl said she is addicted to social media and that it's hard for her to be away from it for more than a couple hours. She said social media is a convenient way to see what her friends have been up to in their lives.
Paul Atchley, a psychology professor, said people aren't addicted
to social media; they are constantly reminded of it. He said social media is likely to show up in a study like the one in Chicago because people are interacting with social media constantly.
"Because something is thought about frequently doesn't mean that you are addicted to it," Atchley said. "People think about sleep frequently because they're tired, that doesn't mean they're addicted to sleep."
Wilhelm Hofmann, the head researcher for the study, told The Guardian that social media is one of the hardest desires to resist because of its availability and the low cost to engage in these activities.
"Even though I use social media, I don't like it," Jeremy Carabajal, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., said. "I think it's a waste of time. Sex is a pretty big thing and it's something everyone should experience. People should hold that as an important experience, and instead, people are constantly on their phones on their computer."
Carabajal said people are addicted to social media and cell phones. He said when he rides the bus, he notices that everyone is on their phone because distractions are a way to avoid talking to people.

Student groups focus on improving campus recycling
CHRIS SCHAEDER
cshaeder@kansan.com
Blaine Bengston, the director of the group, said the Homecoming football game on Oct. 27 will serve as the group's launching pad for its recycling efforts this year.
Recycling is now more convenient for University students and Lawrence residents with the help of the student-run organization Recycle & Blue KU.
"Although we've had minimal presence on campus thus far, we are trying to get the ball rolling." Bengston said. "The Texas game is going to be the start of us having a big impact on recycling at sporting events."
The group, a student senate initiative and KUnited platform, started two years ago and focuses on recycling at sporting events such as football and basketball.
The Texas game will also be the first sporting event where the group
KU Recycling, another established group on campus, is also working to make the University more ecofriendly. The group, organized by the Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP), is responsible for all of the recyclables on campus, which are collected in 1,000 bins located in 90 different locations around campus.
According to Kari Canataero, the program manager for the ESR, KU Recycling recycled 615 tons of material last year. The group hopes the amount will increase in 2012.
"We are trying to educate people how to recycle," Canatarero said. "We have noticed that a lot of people don't know what bins certain materials go in and we are finding that a lot of things are being improperly
will keep track of the amount of material that is recycled in its provided bins.
A main focus for the group this year is reaching a campus-wide audience.
Freshman Erin Riffel recycles her plastic bottle on campus Friday morning. The recycling efforts have improved throughout Lawrence.

KU Recycling's website explains how to properly recycle materials. The group collects the following materials at most locations: office pak, newspaper, aluminum cans and plastic marked with a "1." These materials are separated into the aforementioned bins, which have signs that indicate where each type of material should go.

recycled."
The group will table in front of Wescoe throughout the semester and will provide information for students during Campus Sustainability Week this week.
The City of Lawrence is also strengthening its efforts in sustainability. Lawrence officials are working on a recycling program for residents.
After years of debate, Kathy Richardson, operations supervisor of waste reduction and recycling, said a citywide curbside recycling program could be implemented within the next year.
"There's been a long, ongoing conversation about it," Richardson said.
A year ago, the city commission formed a task force of Lawrence citizens to develop recommendations for curbside recycling. City officials have developed a curbside recycling proposal. Recommendations from the task force and the city are due at the end of October.
If a curbside recycling program
were implemented, each residential customer would have a recycling bin. The costs of the program would be a small portion of the monthly service fee for garbage collection and would depend on the monthly rate that a citizen is paying. The residential monthly rate is $14.95.
Lawrence residents have the option of using one of seven private recycling services in the city. According to Richardson, there are
about 5,500 citizens in Lawrence who use these private recycling services.

There are also three community drop-off recycling centers located throughout Lawrence: Wal-Mart Community Recycling Center, 12th & Haskell Recycle Center and Lonnie's Recycling.

Swing counties may replace swing states
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEESBURG, Va. — How Virginia goes in the presidential election may come down to voters who live amid the small wineries, affluent subdivisions and Civil War battlegrounds of Loudoun County.
Voters in the tony Hamilton County suburbs around the humming riverside economic engine of Cincinnati may tip the balance in Ohio.
BORRAKING PRESIDENT
To win Florida, either President Barack Obama or Mitt Romney probably will have carried Hillsborough County, where the urban seaport town of Tampa bleeds into communities of Spanish-speaking voters and retired Midwesterners.
President Barack Obama arrives to speak at a campaign event at Eden Park's Seasongood Pavilion in Cincinnati, Ohio. The presidential race may come down to an narrower slice than simply the nine states where both Obama and Romney are aggressively competing: Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
Those areas are vastly different, yet each is full of fickle voters and bound by a proclivity to swing between Republican and Democrat every four years. All are main targets as the president and

George W. Bush won in 2004 and that voted Democrat Obama in 2008, according to an Associated Press analysis.
The AP reviewed the vote returns in those nine states during the 2000, 2004 and 2008 elections to identify the counties that have swung between the parties and were most likely to do it again on Nov. 6.
These counties are home to people such as Matt Blunt, a 42-year-old IT manager from Sterling, Va., in Loudoun County, outside Washington. Blunt voted for Obama in 2008, hoping he could change Washington's bitter tone, but now backs Romney.
"What I see in Romney is the stronger potential for leadership than we've seen in the past four years". Blunt said, adding that Obama "hasn't lived up to the promise."

In fact, voters in the Cincinnati, Tampa and northern Virginia TV markets have been subjected to presidential campaign advertising totaling $127 million, almost one-fifth the total spent nationwide this year.
"There's more — and more concentrated — contact with voters in these counties that swung back and forth in these states than
anybody," said Charlie Black, a veteran Republican presidential campaign strategist and informal Romney adviser.
In a race where any bit of an advantage could make the difference, the campaigns go to all this trouble to sway a tiny fraction of the electorate. In 2008, there were 6.2 million votes from those 106 counties; that was not even 5 percent of the roughly 137 million who voted for president.
There is no single reason to explain why these counties seem to shift with the political wind. Their voters are far from monolithic, having little in common other than their voting patterns.

Uruguay considers controversial laws
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — Uruguayans used to call their country the Switzerland of Latin America, but its faded grey capital seems a bit more like Amsterdam now that its congress has legalized abortion and is drawing up plans to sell government-grown marijuana.
Both measures would be unthinkable in many other countries. Cuba is the only other nation in the region that makes first-tri-mester abortions accessible to all women, and no country in the
And while lawmakers have yet to debate pot sales, Mujica's ruling Broad Front coalition staked its ground in August by openly declaring that the drug war has failed. Smoking pot — if not growing and selling it — is already legal in Uruguay, and supplying the weed is a $30 million business, the government said.
world produces and sells pot for drug users to enjoy.
But President Jose "Pepe" Mujica, a flower-farming former leftist guerrilla, vowed to sign whatever bill congress could settle on that can minimize the 30,000 illegal abortions his government says Uruguayan women suffer annually.
This is democracy "a la Uruguaya" — the Uruguayan way — a phrase that reflects both the pride and the unmet promises of a society where finding common ground is a highly shared value, in stark contrast to many other countries where voters are divided by us-and-them politics.

Court convicts experts for earthquake deaths
Great Risks Commission, and several are prominent scientists or geological and disaster experts.
LAQUILA, Italy — Defying assertions that earthquakes cannot be predicted, an Italian court convicted seven scientists and experts of manslaughter Monday for failing to adequately warn residents before a temblor struck central Italy in 2009 and killed more than 300 people.
The court in L'Acquila also sentenced the defendants to six years each in prison. All are members of the national
Scientists had decried the trial as ridiculous, contending that science has no reliable way of predicting earthquakes. News of the verdict shook the tightknit community of earthquake experts worldwide.

"It's a sad day for science," said seismologist Susan Hough, of the U.S. Geological Survey in Pasadena, Calif. "It's unsettling." That fellow seismic experts in Italy were singled out in the
In Italy, convictions aren't definitive until after at least one level of appeals, so it is unlikely any of the defendants would face jail immediately.
"I am dejected, desperate," Enzo Boschi, former head of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, said after the verdict.
State TV noted that this was the first time prosecutors had brought a case based on the failure to predict an earthquake.

Farmers fight for land against urban sprawl
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINGALADON, Myanmar The landscape of Mingaladon township on the northern outskirts of Myanmar's main city tells a story of economic upheaval. Skeletons of factories for a new industrial zone rise from thick green rice paddies local farmers say were seized by one of Myanmar's most powerful companies.
One Sunday in July, some 200 farmers took to the streets of Yangon, the main city, to protest the Mingaladon land acquisition by the Zaykabar Company. It was the first legal protest to be held in Myanmar since a 1988 uprising against military rule was crushed and came just days after a new law allowing peaceful demonstrations was passed by parliament. In the past, protesters have been arrested or shot.
Myanmar means farmers and others are challenging land confiscations in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago.
"The farmers know their rights and dare to demand their rights," said Het Het Oo Wai, a former political prisoner who has joined the fight over Mingaladon. "They didn't dare do that kind of thing two years ago," she said.
The fight over land in Mingaladon is one of many such battles in Myanmar. Human rights groups say land battles are intensifying because companies tied to the military and business elite are rushing to grab land as the country emerges from five decades of isolation and opens its economy. Not only that. The political change sweeping through

What happened to the Middle East Peace Process? For years, we heard about roadmaps to peace, read about new rounds summits and negotiations and asked our political leaders how they would further the dream of a peaceful Israeli-Palestinian solution.
I miss the days when things from the internet stayed on the internet.
Today, Israel's future looks anything but peaceful. Egypt's political turmoil may endanger status quo agreements, civil war in Syria could engulf the region in violence, recent agreements to negotiate do not lessen the threat posed by a nuclear Iran.
No doubt, the U.S. will stand by Israel, leveraging our diplomatic and military resources to try to maintain regional stability; recently, our militaries began extensive war games to ensure the interoperability of our forces and the impenetrability of the Israeli missile defense.
Would it be socially acceptable for me to wear my Pikachu costume to class on Halloween? Hmmm.

As a result, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu plans to accept certain portions of the Levy report; the findings of a commission released this summer that declares settlement outposts in Judea and Samaria are legal under international law and recommends the government legalize certain unauthorized settlements.

problem within Israeli security dilemma: the continued failure of Israelis and Palestinian leaders to progress toward a solution to ongoing questions of territorial sovereignty. Today there are no negotiations between the Netanyahu government and the Palestinian Authority; engagement is instead limited to military skirmishes. Earlier this month, the Israeli Defense Force battled militant members of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Gaza, exchanging salvos of tank and tank shells instead of trading policy proposals and confidence building measures. Clearly, the current situation is not the beginning of a road to peace.

This news probably won't be front and center in the United States political discourse. I'd be surprised if either presidential candidate decided to prioritize discussing the intricacies of something as mundane as the peace process when jobs, energy policy, a nuclear Iran, and more jobs loom large in voters' minds. That doesn't mean this issue isn't an important one for the future of stability in the Middle East. The current U.S. stance might
A series of Israeli settlements within Palestinian territories further complicate the situation. These outcroppings have drawn international criticism—last February, the United States vetored a United Nations resolution co-sponsored by over
It is time for the United States to stand up for Israeli peace, instead of standing by as counterproductive policies destroy the country from within. Negotiations for peace cannot begin until settlements and settler violence end, and a peaceful Israel without peace negotiations is impossible. Shouldn't that merit a few minutes of media coverage or the attention of American voters?

Unfortunately, it's an election year in Israel. The conservative Likud government, headed
120 countries condemning the settlements. As settlement activity has increased, so has settler violence against Palestinians; an August article in Foreign Affairs magazine noted that reported attacks were on the rise. The British newspaper The Guardian also reported that these attacks included systematic vandalism of olive trees, a key driver of economic growth for Palestinian communities. Obviously, these actions impede progress towards peaceful negotiations.

RELATIONSHIPS
Knowing when to split up is a virtue
Recently I was surfing Pinterest (are we seeing a trend here?), and someone I follow pinned a picture of a couple with a caption about how relationships should go back to the "good old days" of couples legitimately trying to make them work.
The picture was horribly cliché and seemed to play into the "nostalgia" of hard work and genuineness from decades past.
It made an attempt to pander to the idea that relationships were more valuable and "real" before modern day and that conveniences we have today like smart phones and various others are comparable to the so-called "convenience" of nixing a relationship on the fly.
However, as splits between married couples are on the decline compared to rates since the '70s (and not to mention a sharp increase in divorce just after the conclusion of World War II), actual statistics are telling us that the opposite of what the picture suggests is happening.
These rates are still much higher than they were in 1900, but those numbers tell us nothing about society during that time and feasible life options for single women, especially in rural areas.
Beyond the statistics of divorce rates, though, the idea in the picture bothered me. Through thick and thin, what is the virtue of keeping a relationship alive?
I cannot entirely disagree with the message behind that particular pin that sent my mind racing. Sometimes people do break up for reasons that are superficial or inconsequential. If something can easily be resolved, there is no reason to end a relationship over it if that relationship is worth the trouble to both people in it.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
Ordained minister and author of "Being a Man in a Woman's World," Dennis Neder says that as long as kids are not involved, once relationships stop being mutually beneficial for both parties, they become unhealthy and must end.
But the pin also undermines a fundamental element of leading a healthy dating life: knowing when to break up. Breaking up usually isn't easy, but in the end, it's the best solution to something insolvable.
At that point, "it's time to move on," Neder said.
And here, Neder is right. When relationships are already broken in some way and no longer meet a partner's expectations
They become unhealthy and can diminish people's satisfaction with their lives. In this case, rather than sticking it out at all costs, knowing what's best for both people involved in the relationship becomes the virtue. And when this happens, there's nothing valuable about trying to make it work.
with a fair attempt at reaching a solution, they need to end.
For these reasons I couldn't help but scoff at the pin that showed up on my feed. I can relate to the piner in that I too would describe myself as a romantic, but I believe in breakup.
What we should really strive for is being able to decide when a relationship is worth fixing and when it's not, and when we can do that, it makes for a healthy love life. It helps us maintain a healthy sense of self that we need not just in dating but in life in general.
Sometimes relationships aren't worth the hassle, and when they're not, there's no problem in trying to make them work like people supposedly did in the "old days." (And I'm still left wondering exactly to which old days the pin is referring.)
So what's virtuous is not clinging to a relationship no matter what. It's knowing what's best for ourselves and acting accordingly. We have to take care of ourselves first in dating, and we don't do that by following the idea that making a relationship last is always valuable.
So finally when it comes to dating, that's the real virtue. And for the sake of having something good, everyone needs to adhere to it.
Sometimes it just isn't, and we need to learn when to say "enough."

CAMPUS
Students feel a disconnect between students and staff
Have you ever seen something on campus and just wondered, "Why, KU, why?" With all of the students and employees on campus, there seems to be a disconnect between students and reality the University presents. And as much as I love the University, I think it's time someone brought these messages to light.
By Angela Hawkins
ahawkins@kansan.com
Firstly, the toilet paper systems here don't work. Either you have two rolls right on top of each other, four different rolls positioned on the walls or even none at all. The problem in the first situation is the most frustrating. You go to pull out only toilet paper that you need, but no, you end up pulling out paper from the reserve roll on top of the current, open roll too. Why was this positioned so that the rolls aren't a little bit separated, or beside each other instead of on top? Or why couldn't the accessible roll be on top? Did whoever positioned the rolls actually try to use them?
The second situation is more humorous than upsetting. Why does one stall need so much toilet paper? Is it really more used than in other stalls in the bathroom, the building or the University? Isn't there someone who comes to check the toilet paper? Do they just not want to do that daily? If that's the case, I'd say that's either laziness or the
University being stingy on paying its employees.
Also, the staircase on the side of Wescoe by Stauffer-Flint sends students mixed messages. On one level a posted sign says "No Smoking" with the typical crossed out circle logo we're used to. On the next level there's an ash tray in nearly the same spot. So does the university not want students to smoke there, or are they OK with it? I don't know about you, but I'm a little confused.
It's too cold outside to use air conditioning, but too warm to turn on the heater. With the weather getting slightly colder, this complaint becomes more relevant. The University continues to blast air conditioning into the buildings regardless of the cold mornings. Why are they freezing students? I understand that it'd be expensive to keep switching between the air conditioning and heating; however, is it necessary to run them at full blast? Would it not be more efficient to turn
the air conditioning down when it's somewhat cold?
Is it efficiency, ease or students that motivate the University?
The University could turn the air down, or off for a few hours. But they may need some persuading.
Although the University does not offer an outlet specifically for this type of complaint, students can talk to maintenance workers in the buildings or comment on the topic through social media.
In residence halls complaints can be made at the front desk or by talking to the maintenance staff. I have one word of caution: don't expect fast results. The heaters won't be turned on until the University plans on actually staying a certain degree of cold for a predetermined period.
Until then, the University should spend less money pumping cold air into the buildings on campus.
I'm sure these aren't the only examples. That'd be a shocker if they were. It brings out how big of a university the University is that it has such a disconnection between its intent and its execution. Keep your eyes open, you may be able to spot a few examples for yourself. Chuckle a little, Jayhawks, our great and mighty University has some problems of its own.

have spent time on tour playing at festivals such as the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, as well as performing on Saturday Night Live.
Derek Edward Miller and Alexis Krauss formed the Brooklyn-based duo back in 2008. Since then, the two have created music that has earned the name of "noise-pop" for its roots in metal and the tendency for it to stay within an extremely narrow dynamic range that pushes past an already "bombastic sound" according to Pitchfork.com.
The band's latest album titled "Reign of Terror," was released last February. Since the release, the two
For this tour, Sleigh Bells have paired up with Abraham Orellana, a hip-hop record producer better known as AraabMuzik.
Kelsey Weaver, a freshman from Star, Idaho, is eagerly awaiting the performance.
"I'm not sure what I'm expecting. I've never seen them live, but I've heard that they put on a really good show and create a great atmosphere for their audience," she said.
Weaver was apprehensive about a shared stage, but thinks it will still be a worth going.
Although Weaver would attend regardless of price, she said that "the SUA discount made the show even more appealing."
"I honestly don't know AraaMuzik. It is what it is, and hopefully he will only contribute to what is supposed to be a great show," she said.
Doors open at 7 pm and the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are free with a student saver card and $5 with a KU ID, the show is open to all ages. Tickets are available for purchase at the Granada box office in addition to the programs box office in the Kansas Union.

KU Jeeva, a University Indian fusion dance team, is holding tryouts at 8 p.m. today in Hashinger Hall. No previous dance experience is required to try out.
"It's a great way to meet new people and learn new styles of dance," said junior member Monica Roy Chowdhury. "We are a fusion team so we invite dancers from all different backgrounds."
Jeeva's dance style, Indian fusion, is described as a combination of hip-hop, classical and Bollywood-style dances. The team, created in 2008, performs three to four times on campus each year. Jeeva won KU's Best Dance Crew in 2008 and 2009 and is hoping to compete nationally this year.
"When I came to college I was hopeful about finding opportunities to continue Indian dance," Chowdhury said. "KU Jeeva was a great way to keep dancing while still being able to concentrate on my studies. It has become an

important part of my KU experience and I have met some great people"
"People should join Jeeva because it is a great way to meet people with the same common interest: passion for dance," junior member Karishma Khetani said. "Also, through it you can express yourself creatively and focus your attention on something other than just work and school."

Black Student Union crowns king and queen
Sierra Franklin and Will Nelson were named queen and king of the Realign and Shine Black Student Union (BSU) annual Homecoming Pageant.
The pageant was held in Woodruff Auditorium at 7:30 last night. Candidates were judged on spirit, essays read during the pageant, and their answers during the Q-and-A section.
During the essay category, both the crowned queen and king spoke on the topic of beauty.
frankin, a junior from Wichita, spoke about her insecurities as a child and how her perception of beauty has changed.
"I see beauty as the strength to overcome obstacles," she said. "My confidence is what makes me beautiful."
K
leison, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., spoke about the imperfection of beauty.
"When you see past flaws, you can see beauty in its truest and most divine form," he said.
Katherine Johnson, a sophomore from Shawnee and Ryan Evans, a sophomore from Overland Park, were named princess and prince.
Two students ran for prince, two for princess, two for queen and three for king. All candidates were members of BSU.
Franklin and Nelson will represent BSU during the homecoming parade on Friday.
Before the pageant began, Dorothy Pennington, associate professor in African and African-American Studies, gave a brief history of the BSU.
"In 1969, there was a black homecoming queen who was crowned to represent the black students, along with a white homecoming queen who represented the student body in general," Pennington said. "The queen contest idea was discontinued, so what we have tonight is a pageant that is a throwback to those years."

Teenage drug dealer sentenced to prison
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAMANTHA LUNG
LEBANON, Ohio — A teenager convicted of selling up to $20,000 worth of high-grade marijuana a month to high school students in southwestern Ohio was sentenced Monday to serve six months to three years in a juvenile prison by a judge who called him "a pretty fine young person that went down a bad trail."
Tyler Pagenstecher, 18, center, listens in juvenile court on Monday in Lebanon, Ohio, as a judge sentences him to a minimum of six months in a juvenile jail stemming from his conviction on drug-trafficking charges.
"He's not going home today," Judge Thomas Lipps said, explaining that the charges against Pagenstecher were too serious for him to avoid prison time.
Tyler Pagenstecher of Mason was taken into custody immediately after the hearing and will be turned over to Ohio's Department of Youth Services. The agency ultimately will decide how long the 18-year-old Pagenstecher will be in prison, depending on his behavior.

Authorities say Pagensteacher was one of the most prolific drug dealers in the
His mother, Daffney Pagenstecher, also spoke to the judge, saying her son "just thought he was using a recreational drug and selling it to his friends, and that was it."
In court Monday, Pagenstecher stood up and apologized, saying that he didn't realize the severity of his actions.
"He wasn't out to become, you know, a big drug dealer," she said. "He didn't buy a new car. He didn't buy fancy clothes. He wasn't making the money that a drug dealer would make and flaunting it."
"I understood that I would get in trouble but not to the level or extent this has become, and I sincerely regret all of this," said the pale, bespectacled, soft-spoken teen. "If I could take it all back, I would."
The 50-year-old school bus driver said she had no idea what her son had been up to before his arrest.
Lipps expressed incredulity that Tyler Pagenstecher didn't

He said he did take into consideration the fact that Pagenstecher wasn't violent, didn't have weapons, was a good student, finished a drug-abuse program and got a job at an Italian restaurant.
"You know, I think you're probably a pretty fine young person that went down a bad trail here," Lipps told Pagenstecher. "I do think there's hope for you in the future."
After the sentencing, prosecutor David Fornshell said he hopes the case sends a message to other young adults.
"I think that probably when people originally heard this story they thought this guy was a hero or a rock star" Forsnell said. "I think any juvenile who would come in here today and see somebody go through what this juvenile went through today, and the fact that (if) he doesn't cooperate in the Department of Youth Services, he's

growing the pot under artificial lights in a furniture warehouse and two suburban homes.
Four of the adults have pleaded not guilty to charges of drug trafficking and possession, marijuana cultivation and engaging in corrupt activity. They are set for trial in November and December.
The other four have pleaded guilty to some of the charges, with most still awaiting sentencing. One of them, 31-year-old Stacy Lampe, has been sentenced to two years in
prison.

As part of its investigation of the drug ring, the Warren County Drug Task Force seized more than 600 marijuana plants with an estimated street value of $3 million.
First defendant sentenced for Fla. hazing death
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — The first of a dozen defendants to be sentenced in last year's hazing death of a Florida A&M drum major avoided jail time when he received his punishment Monday, but he will spend more than two years under close supervision.
Brian Jones was given six months of community control, which strictly limits his freedom with measures including frequent check-ins with probation officials. Following that, the 23-year-old from Parrish, Fla., will serve another two years of probation. He's also required to perform 200 hours of community service.
Judge Marc Lubet said Jones' role in the hazing death of Robert Champion was relatively minimal and that Jones did not beat or hit Champion. Champion died last November after being beaten by fellow band members during a
nazing ritual aboard a bus parked outside an Orlando hotel after a football game.
"This young man's part in this horrible act ... as compared with many others from what I've seen is minimal," Lubet said. "It was an isolated incident in this man's life for which he's shown remorse."
Defense attorney Alisia Adamson noted that only two of the 90 witnesses even said he was on the bus.
Eleven other band members are awaiting trial on felony hazing charges, while another band member faces a misdemeanor hazing count.
Jones had entered a no-contest plea Oct. 9 to the third-degree felony hazing charge after initially pleading not guilty. The maximum penalty for the charge was five years in prison.
Champion's parents and friends say the drum major was a vocal opponent of hazing, but finally relented last November and got
aboard "Bus C" which was known for hazing.
Pam and Robert Champion Sr. both attended Monday's sentencing.
Speaking directly to Jones, Pam Champion challenged the idea that his role had been minor, saying: "You and I know that's not true. You played a critical role."
She carried a picture of Champion with her to the podium before she spoke.
Jones said in a recorded audio statement with investigators that he was on the bus when another hazing victim — Lissette Sanchez — went through the ritual. But Jones told police that he only retrieved his lighter and left to smoke, getting off the bus before Champion got on.
"You won't be able to put it out of your mind...It will haunt you," she told Jones.
The defendant's mother, Jacqueline Jones, told the court that her son was an honest person and that "he shared with me he had
nothing to do with it."
Brian Jones tearfully apologized to the Champion family in court.
"No family should have to go through what you've gone through," he said.
After the sentencing, Pam Champion said she gave Jones credit for "taking responsibility" in the case.
"Initially my reaction was disappointment, but I do understand," she said. "The mere fact that Brian stepped up and took the initiative, which should be what everyone does ... is basically what we're looking for. For the whole thing is people being accountable for what they have done."
She also said she'd be open to him speaking about his experience
as part of the Robert D. Champion Drum Major for Change Foundation that she started last year to fight hazing.
"I do respect the law, I don't always agree with it," Robert Champion Sr. said. "But Mr. Jones did step up. The law made the charges and I agree with it if they savit was right."
Champion was seeking the top position in the famed marching band, leading dozens who had already endured the hazing ritual. The Marching 100 has performed at Super Bowls and presidential inauguration parades, and some felt the leadership position had to be earned.
What awaited him was a punishing scrum in which about
15 people pushed, struck, kicked and grabbed at participants as they tried to wade down the aisle from the bus's driver seat to touch the back wall, according to interviews with investigators. One witness said bigger band members waited at the back to make the final few steps the most difficult during the "crossing over" portion of the hazing process.
Several others who went through it said the ordeal leaves participants dizzy and breathless at a minimum. After finishing the ordeal, Champion vomited and complained of trouble breathing. He soon fell unconscious and couldn't be revived.

Dallas defense rallies
ASSOCIATED PRESS
But that's exactly what coach Jason Garrett did in Dallas' 19-14 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It's been awhile since the Dallas Cowboys relied this heavily on their defense.
Garrett said he made the decision to run the ball because he was confident his defense, ranked second in the league, could hold the Panthers.
Faced with a third-and-4 at the Carolina 18 and the Cowboys leading by two points, Garrett elected to run the ball and kick a field goal rather than try to deliver a knockout punch with his offense. In so doing, he put his defense on the field with 53 seconds left to close out the game.
They answered the call, stopping the Panthers at midfield.
"We trust our defense immensely," Garrett said. "Our defense is outstanding and they've played great all year long."
"Defensively, when were out there it's all about closing the game," defensive end DeMarcus Ware said. "(Garrett) having the confidence in the defense and saying OK we're going to kick a field goal and leave you guys out there, I know you guys are ready for this challenge."
While Tony Romo would have loved a chance to throw the ball at that point, he said he agreed with the call.
"You weigh what coverages they've been playing throughout the day," Romo said. "You also look at how well your defense has played throughout the day. It's very hard to be in their position, 53 seconds left, and you need a touchdown."
Romo knows how to win a close game, something Cam Newton and
the Carolina Panthers still haven't fiued out.
Romo led the Cowboys into field-goal range and Dan Bailey converted a 28-yarder with 3:25 remaining to lift the Dallas Cowboys to a 19-14 win on Sunday.
Bailey had four field goals and Romo threw for 227 yards and a touchdown as the Cowboys defeated the Panthers for the ninth straight time in the regular season. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Cowboys (3-3) and helped ease some pressure from their highly criticized 31-29 loss to Baltimore last week in a game marred by poor clock management.
"When you think about some of the adversity we've encountered this season, our focus remains on just getting better," Ware said. "We have been doing that, and this week being able to go out and close a game let us know that hey, we can do it."
Romo said the Cowboys never bought into the idea that the sky was falling after last week's loss.
"You know that every week you're either great or terrible — or at least semi-terrible or semi-great," Romo said. "What you find in this league is all you need to do is figure out how to get better and play your best football when it counts."
Just in case everyone wasn't buying in, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett invited former Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs — yes, their old rival — to speak to players at the team's chapel service Saturday night.
Gibbs' message was that everyone makes mistakes, but what's important is how you handle adversity.
The Cowboys seemed to listen.
"We did a good job of bouncing back and finding a way to win a
game today." Garrett said.
For the Panthers (1-5) it was a case of another game in which they were close enough to win in the fourth quarter but couldn't finish. Carolina had similar chances in their two previous games against Atlanta and Seattle.
Newton, who finished 21 of 37 for 233 yards with one touchdown and an early interception in the red zone, said he doesn't know why the Panthers can't win close games.
"Whether it's me, I don't know. Whether it's the coordinator, I don't know. Whether it's the players overall, I don't know." Newton said. "(But) we got to change that man."
The Panthers finished fifth in points last season, averaging 25.3 points per game, but have scored more than 14 points in only two of their six games this year.
"Instead of keeping the game close, I'm looking forward to a game where I ... we put up 35 points. Everybody does," Newton said.
This game had its share of drama and controversy.
On a fourth-and-1 at their 39 with 2:11 remaining and trailing by two, the Panthers caught Dallas' defense trying to change personnel, and Newton rushed to the line. He quickly took the snap and completed a pass to Greg Olsen for an apparent first down, but officials ruled the Cowboys called timeout before the snap.
On the next play, cornerback Morris Claiborne collided with Panthers receiver Louis Murphy before the ball arrived, but no flag was thrown and the Cowboys took over on downs.
"I felt like I got pushed early," Murphy said. "He kind of hooked me and pushed me in the back before the ball got there."

Kenseth finishes first at Speedway

His 14-year run at Roush Fenway Racing is in the homestretch and Kenseth is going out with class, drienchy — and wins.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Matt Kenseth had to choke back his words when he got to Victory Lane, fumbling with his sunglasses in an attempt to hide his emotions.
He slammed his No.17 Ford hard into the wall at Kansas Speedway midway through Sunday's race, went to pit road to let crew chief Jimmy Fennig fix the car and then drove it to his second victory in three weeks. The bond between driver and crew was clear in the post-race celebration, even though Kenseth tried to play it cool.

Kenseth is leaving Roush at the end of the season for Joe Gibbs Racing for personal reasons he's only vaguely explained in detail. The decision was made in June, but Kenseth couldn't discuss it publicly until September.
Now that he's in his final month with the team that gave him his break in NASCAR, he's got to be feeling a bit nostalgic.
"I really want to thank Jack Roush, Robbie Reiser and Mark Martin. Without them guys, I never would have been at Roush."

Armstrong stripped of racing medals
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GENEVA — Seven lines of blanks. From 1999 to 2005. There will be no Tour de France winner in the record book for those years.
10:30 p.m.
Tavern
Once the toast of the Champs-lysees, Lance Armstrong was formally stripped of his seven Tour titles Monday and banned for life for doping.
As far as the Tour is concerned, his victories never happened. He was never on the top step of the podium. The winner's yellow jersey was never on his back.
The decision by the international Cycling Union marked an end to the saga that brought down the most decorated rider in Tour history and exposed widespread cheating in the sport.
"Lance Armstrong has no place in cycling, and he deserves to be forgotten in cycling," said Pat McQuaid, president of the governing body. "Make no mistake, it's a catastrophe for him, and he has to face up to that."

Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life by cycling's governing body Monday, following a report from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that accused him of leading a massive doping program on his teams. UCI President Pat McQuaid announced that the federation accepted the USADA's report on Armstrong and would not appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

It's also devastating for Tour de France organizers, who have to curve seven gaping holes from the honor roll of the sport's biggest event and airbrush Armstrong's image from a sun-baked podium on the Champs-Elysees.
No more rides through Paris for the grim-faced cancer survivor bearing the American flag. No champagne. From the sport's perspective, it's all gone.
"We wish that there is no winner for this period," Tour director Christian Prudhomme said Monday in Paris. "For us, very clearly, the titles should remain blank. Effectively, we wish for these years to remain without winners."
Armstrong's fiercely defended reputation as a clean athlete was shattered by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency two weeks ago, when it detailed evidence of drug use and trafficking by his Tour-winning teams. USADA released its report to show why it ordered Armstrong banned from competition back in August. Monday's judgment by the UCI was just the necessary next legal step to formalize the loss of his titles and expel him from the sport.
It will likely also trigger painful financial hits for Armstrong as race organizers and former sponsors line up to reclaim what are now viewed as his ill-gotten rewards, though the cyclist maintains he never doped.
Prudhomme wants Armstrong to pay back prize money from his seven wins, which the French cycling federation tallied at €2.95 million ($3.85 million). Armstrong also once was awarded $7.5 million plus legal fees from Dallas-based SCA Promotions Inc., which tried to withhold paying a bonus for the rider's 2004 Tour victory after it alleged he doped to win.
The U.S. government could also get involved in a case brought by Floyd Landis, who was key to taking down his illustrious former teammate by turning whistleblower in 2010.
The losses pile up for a man who dedicated himself to victory, over other cyclists and the cancer that almost killed him in 1996.
Neither Armstrong nor his representatives had any comment about Monday's decision, but the rider was defiant in August when he chose not to fight USADA in one of the agency's arbitration hearings. He argued the process was rigged against him.
"I know who won those seven Tours, my teammates know who won those seven Tours, and everyone I competed against knows who won those seven Tours," Armstrong said then. "The toughest event in the world where the strongest man wins. Nobody can ever change that."
The condemnation by McQuaid, cycling's most senior official, confirmed Armstrong's pariah status, after the UCI had backed him at times in trying to seize control of the doping investigation from USADA.
McQuaid announced that the UCI accepted the sanctions imposed by USADA and would not appeal them to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. His board will meet Friday to discuss going after Armstrong's 2000 Olympic bronze medal and the possibility of setting up a "truth and reconciliation" commission to air the sport's remaining secrets.
The International Olympic
Committee said it would study the UCI's response and wait to receive its full decision before possibly taking away Armstrong's medal from the Sydney Games time trial.
"It is good to see that all parties involved in this case are working together to tackle this issue," the IOC said. McQuaid said he was "sickened" by some of the evidence detailed by USADA in its 200-page report and hundreds of pages of supporting testimony and documents.
USADA said Armstrong was at the center of "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen" within his U.S. Postal Service and Discovery Channel teams.
The American agency welcomed the decision by UCI.
"Today, the UCI made the right decision in the Lance Armstrong case," USADA CEO Travis Tygart said in a statement, which called on cycling to continue to fight doping. "There are many more details of doping that are
hidden, many more doping doctors, and corrupt team directors and the omerta has not yet been fully broken."
The USADA report said Armstrong and his teams used steroids, the blood booster EPO and blood transfusions. The report included statements from 11 former teammates who testified against Armstrong, including that he pressured them to take banned drugs.
In all, 26 people — including 15 riders — testified to USADA that Armstrong and his teams used and trafficked banned substances and routinely used blood transfusions. Among the witnesses were loyal sidekick George Hincapie and admitted dopers Landis and Tyler Hamilton.
McQuaid singled out former teammate David Zabriskie, saying: "The story he told of how he was coerced and to some extent forced into doping is just mind-boggling."
BIG 12
K-State in national title contention
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Two more Big 12 games were decided late by teams that scored more than 50 points apiece. National title talk faded for good in West Virginia, replaced by similar chatter at Kansas State.
Intrigue is building as the Big 12 essentially hits the halfway point of the season, and the 10-team league looks like it's going nine deep. Nobody wants to dismiss the one outcast — Kansas — because coach Charlie Weis is a former NFL offensive whiz who has the experience of being the head coach at Notre Dame.
"I'm almost tentative to say 'I told you so' or give you that story," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "For three 'or four years, I've been saying that with the skill players that are coming out now, the spread offenses, the fast pace, the blitzing style of defenses, the parity is greater than it's ever been in college football. There's not any question the parity in this league is more than ever."
Three weeks ago, West Virginia was entering the national title picture and had the Heisman Trophy front-runner in quarterback Geno Smith. That has vanished in blowout losses to Texas Tech and Kansas State.
Kansas State was getting patted on the head as a good little team before going to Oklahoma and knocking off the Sooners in a
tense game that declared the race was on. Now coaches are quick to call the Wildcats the big dogs.
For now.
"What you're having to do now unlike the early years is you're having to play every week," said Texas coach Mack Brown, whose Longhorns suffered consecutive losses to West Virginia and Oklahoma. "It did not surprise me when West Virginia left here and went out to Lubbock and got beat."
"We play in a good league. I think everybody understands that," West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. "We got off to a hot start, but a pretty good Texas Tech team and a real good Kansas State team exposed us a little bit."
No. 4 Kansas State doesn't have to go to Lubbock, but the Wildcats are catching Texas Tech at possibly its highest point in three years under coach Tommy Tuberville. The Red Raiders bounced back from a lopsided loss to Oklahoma with the win over West Virginia, then survived three overtimes at TCU for a 56-53 victory after letting a late 10-point lead slip away.
The No. 15 Red Raiders can scramble the top of the standings with a win Saturday in Manhattan, Kan., but it won't be the last time an underdog has a chance to reshape the Big 12 race.
Baylor is back near the bottom of the league without Robert Griffin III because the Bears have
one of the worst defenses in the country. But these aren't the same Bears who were doormats for most of the first decade of the Big 12 because they still have a quarterback.
The puzzling game for Baylor was the one in between — a 49-21 home loss to TCU a week after the Horned Frogs lost 37-23 to Iowa State in their first Big 12 home game.
Griffin's replacement, Nick Florence, threw for 933 yards and seven touchdowns combined in losses of 70-63 to West Virginia and 56-50 to Texas, both on the road. Florence leads the nation in total offense.
"I think it it's been deep the last two or three years," Baylor coach Art Briles said. "I think you could just go back through and look at the so-called upsets over the last
That's the only league win for the Cyclones, who will try to keep the Bears winless in the Big 12 on Saturday.
couple of years late in the season. It's a tough battle, and that's why it's such a great league."
Along with Kansas State-Texas Tech, most of the Big 12 attention this week will focus on No. 8 Oklahoma's effort to re-enter the national title picture in a home game against fifth-ranked Notre Dame. But the other game in Oklahoma — TCU's visit to Oklahoma State — is big for the Cowboys, who are trying to avoid a second league losses.
Texas is taking one of the nation's worst defenses to Kansas, where Weis has quarterback issues as he tries to use his Super Bowl-winning pedigree to get up to speed in a pass-happy, high-scoring league.
"I'm new to the Big 12, and I'm just into the grind of going through this schedule," Weis said. "It doesn't make any difference who you're playing. It's a new set of problems each week."

The Kansas tennis team was divided between two states this weekend as its players competed in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Regional Championships in Tulsa, Okla. and the KU Tournament in Lawrence.
Freshman Maria Jose Cardona made it to the quarterfinals of the main singles draw but was bested 6-4 and 6-1 by Hermon Bhane of Oklahoma. Sophomore Maria Belen Luduena notched the only other victory in singles match play as she defeated Izabella Zgierska of Nebraska 6-1 and 6-0 in the first round before falling to third-seed Whitney Ritchie of Oklahoma.
The players that participated in the ITA Regional Championships showed a lot of potential, but only a only one player made it past the second round in singles play.
In doubles competition at the ITA, Luduena and Cardona made it out of the first round of the main doubles draw but were unable to get past the second round after losing 8-5 against the top-seeded Oklahoma State duo Kanyapat Narrattana and Malika Rosa.
After the ITA tournament, coach Amy Hall-Holt said she is excited for the future of the program. She said the two freshmen are playing well and the rest of the team is showing the will to compete.
Only Victoria Khanevskaya; Claire Dreyer and Anastasija Trubica stayed in Lawrence for the KU Tournament.
The Jayhaws' next competition is the San Diego Invitational; which starts Nov. 9.
Trubica won her singles draw, beating Amina St. Hill of Kansas State in the final round 6-3, 1-6 and 6-3. Trubica also won against Ali Patterson of Drake in the semifinals 7-5 and 6-1.
Khanevskaya finished third in her singles draw and Dreyer finished fifth in her singles draw.

THUNDER CAT
1. Kansas State (7-0)
Kansas State landed a spot in the top five in every poll and ranking after its 55-14 win over West Virginia. The biggest story surrounding the Wildcats is quarterback Collin Klein, who put together seven touchdowns against the Mountaineers. After Klein outplayed Geno Smith, critics now see him as the new favorite to win the Heisman.
O
2. Oklahoma (5-1)
Oklahoma posted over 50 points on the scoreboard for the third time this season. After defeating Kansas 52-7, the Sooners held their opponents to one touchdown for the second time this season. The team's biggest test comes next week when they host Notre Dame.

3. Texas Tech (6-1)
:
Texas Tech has pleasantly surprised a lot of fans in Lubbock this season. A thrilling 56-53 win in triple overtime against Texas Christian pulled Texas Tech up in the rankings. Quarterback Seth Doege lifted the Red Raiders when he threw seven touchdown passes, making him one of the top quarterbacks in the Big 12.
WV
4. West Virginia (5-2)
West Virginia's experience in the Big 12 hasn't gone its way. West Virginia has given up 53 points on average against Big 12 teams. The Mountaineers fell to 5-2. Geno Smith's luck also ran out after he threw two interceptions.
5. Texas (5-2)
Texas overcame adversity after it snapped its two-game losing streak in a wild shoot-out against Baylor. Although the Longhorns allowed 50 points, the offense managed to score more, just enough to win. Running back Joe Bergeron was the hero for the Longhorns when he rushed for 117 yards and five touchdowns. They will want to continue to feed the ball to Bergeron moving forward.

Texas Christian quarterback Trevone Boykin found a rhythm this weekend with his offense against Texas Tech. Boykin ran into a couple of problems when he threw two interceptions, but he managed to still play well after recently being named the new starting quarterback. Coach Gary Patterson has to like the progress out of his new quarterback and is probably hoping that it will translate into some wins before the end of the season.
6. Texas Christian (5-2)
TCU
HORNED FROGS
Oklahoma State has been limited with its scoring after being ranked first at one point. In the end, the Cowboys sealed a victory over the Cyclones over the weekend. The Cowboys recently built some consistency after putting together their first winning streak of the season.
OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY
Iowa State fans enjoyed their brief time being ranked. Now, the Cyclones are out of the top 25 after losing three of their last four games. A game against Baylor gives them an opportunity to turn around because of Baylor's struggles this season.
BAYLOR
BEARS
7. Oklahoma State (4-2)
Quarterback Nick Florence showed Baylor a lot of good things at the start of the season. He threw 11 touchdowns and four interceptions to start the season. In the last three games, while the Bears have lost, Florence threw nine touchdowns and six interceptions. The Bears want to try and beat the Cyclones this week, who also have issues in the conference.
9. Baylor (3-3)
8. Iowa State (4-3)
STATE
KU
10. Kansas (1-6)
Michael Cummings got the start over Dayne Crist; Coach Charlie Weis played both quarterbacks in the game, but it did not translate into any success. Kansas fell flat on all three phases of the game against Oklahoma. Texas can easily do the same thing if Kansas does not void its holes in practice this week.

Texas coach comments on Kansas football and Weis
Although the Kansas Jayhawks and the Texas Longhorns are headed in different directions after seven weeks of football, they will clash in Lawrence this weekend.
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
Texas coach Mack Brown said during Big's Day 12 teleconference that the Kansas is an improved team despite its 1-6 record.
Brown had nothing but praise for Kansas coach Charlie Weis. He said Weis' resume speaks for itself.
"They are a much better football team than the one we played last year," Brown said. "They're running the ball well."
"When you look at Charlie, he to me is one of the great coaches in
the country," Brown said. "What he did with Bill Belichick and the Patriots is just unbelievable. I thought he did a great job at Notre Dame. And see what he did with the Kansas City Chiefs in turning that offense around immediately."
Brown said that hiring Dave Campo as defensive coordinator was a "brilliant choice" because Campo has a history of coaching in the NFL and in college.
BIG 12 SHOOT-OUTS
Six teams in the conference are in the top 15 for offensive scoring. Only TCU, Iowa State and Kansas rank below the top 25 in points scored.
"It's a fun league to be in right
now," Brown said. "The fans are seeing great football games. And for the people who like to see scoring, you are seeing a lot of scoring in this league."
Brown said the Big 12 is the most competitive it has been in the 15 years he's been at Texas.
"It's just crazy with the speed," Brown said. "What you're having to do now and not in the past is that you have to play every week."
"The first thing everybody wants to do is fire their defensive coordinator because everyone has a quarterback and everybody can move the ball," Brown said.
Over the weekend, the Big 12 actually had more touchdowns than punts (48 and 47, respectively) something that is directly linked to the high octane offenses.
Though the Longhorns are sitting at No. 25 in the nation with a 5-2 record, Brown realizes he has to find a way to keep motivating his team.
BRINGING THE INTENSITY
His team played 34 freshmen over the past two years. Brown said it's difficult to keep motivating younger teams but it's something that has to be done.
"We have to get every ounce of energy out of everyone every day because we aren't good enough to beat anyone right now unless we are playing with intensity and playing at our highest level," Brown said.

THE MORNING BREW Wildcats and Collin Klein looking for Heisman award
As Kansas State flexed its muscles Saturday, dominating the Mountaineers 54-14 in Morgantown, W.Va., Collin Klein again showed why he is a legitimate Heisman contender and leader of one of the best teams in college football.
The Wildcats have never had a Heisman winner, but Klein seems to be on pace to land a spot in New York. He is the quarterback for a national Top-10 team and a definite contender for the BCS Championship. His numbers are up to par with the rest of the field and he simply doesn't make mistakes. However, it's Klein's play in big games and the fourth quarter that sets him apart.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
Throughout the season, the Wildcats often have the game well out of reach by the fourth quarter, but when they don't, Klein is at his best.
"Optimus Klein" has been nearly robotic in the final period this year completing more than 93 percent of his passes with no interceptions.
In the Wildcats' two biggest games, Oklahoma and West Virginia, Klein was nearly perfect: 32-42 for 474 yards, 3 touchdowns, 0 interceptions. On the ground Klein had 29 rushes, 120 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Kansas State faces a few more challenges through the end of the season. It is definitely possible that Klein will lead the 'Cats to an undefeated season.
What does an unblemished record mean?
For the Wildcats, it means a shot at the
national championship. They would need some help to pass teams such as Oregon, Florida or Alabama, but the odds are on their side.
Alabama and Florida, if both undefeated, would match-up in the SEC title game, which would likely eliminate the loser from the championship game. Oregon also will have to play a conference title game, and that could mean a second meeting with the talented University of Southern California.
With the Big 12 shrinking to 10 teams, the conference increases its chances of sending a team to the big game. An undefeated Kansas State team has a real opportunity to take advantage of this.
The shot at a national title may mean even more for Klein, who with impressive numbers and a championship caliber team has all the arguments to be the winner of the Heisman Memorial Trophy. Which makes the idea of bringing the two most prominent trophies in college football back to the state of Kansas very real.
KU
Just an hour and a half down 1-70 lays the best story in college football. A coach creating a second turnaround of a program, a bona fide championship contender and what could end up being the best player in college football.

Jayhawk players awarded Big 12 player of the week honors
Sophomore, outside hitter Sara McClinton won the Big I2 Offensive Player of the Week
For the second time this season the Kansas Jayhawks swept the two weekly Big 12 player of the week awards.
award, while redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.
"I think it's a testament of individual performance, but also a reflection of a team that's playing pretty well right now," coach Ray Bechard said.
Last week against Kansas State
and TCU, McClinton notched 36 kills for an average of 4.50 kills per set. Jarmoc earned her first career double-double against Kansas State with 12 blocks and 11 kills, then added four more blocks against TCU.
Earlier this season during the week of Sept. 10, Jarmoc earned Offensive Player of the
Week honors, while junior libero Brianne Riley was named Defensive Player of the Week.
Jarmoc leads the Jayhawks with 3.61 kills per set, while McClinton is second with 3.36 kills per set. That puts them at third and fifth in the Big 12 in that category. Jarmoc also leads the team with 111 total blocks,
including 19 solo blocks, good for 1.34 blocks per set and fourth in the Big 12.
"I think she takes pride in helping us score points, whether it's being offensively or defensively or with her serves," Bechard said. "Anytime you can get point production out of a middle in three different areas, that means she's
adding a tremendous amount of
value to your team."
The Jayhawks also moved up to No. 17 in the rankings as they prepare to face Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, Wednesday at 6:30.

COMMENTARY
Volleyball well worth attending
BROOKLYN CITY UNIVERSITY
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
But there's another group of athletes that should command your attention over the next few weeks as they grow closer to the postseason.
Kansas football and basketball are usually the talk of the campus at this point in the season.
The group usually convenes on Wednesday nights to a crowd of loyal supporters, which includes a devoted pep band to college basketball coaches stopping by for a few sets.
so as we transition out of football season and gear up for basketball season, remember to watch out for this other team on the radar that might make some noise as well.
People talk about football because of its ongoing struggle to be relevant in the big 12 conference, and its fight to hopefully break the 16-game conference losing streak sometime soon.
By the end of November we will see how this team finishes in conference play, and by what the Jayhawks have shown, it might have something bigger than just mediocre in store.

FOOTBALL
People talk about basketball because this is Lawrence after all, and basketball is the topic of conversation every day of the year.
Last week was one of those games against Kansas State.
It's not the same raucous atmosphere as Allen Fieldhouse, but Horejsi Family Athletics Center reaches a decent decibel level when it's the right game.
There are still difficult matches out there with trips to Baylor and Kansas State. There also is a showdown with Texas looming on Nov. 10 that could determine the regular season title.

The Kansas volleyball team had taken down a few good teams, but a win over Kansas State was a vital sign that this program was ready to turn this season into something special. Kansas State has dominated the series in recent years, winning every match the last three seasons.
ASHI FIGH LEE/KANSAN
The Jayhawks wanted to reverse that trend, and they did, knocking the Wildcats off in four sets. Afterwards the team stormed onto the floor in a mob of excitement.
Coach Charlie Weis walks off the field after the first half of Saturday's game against Oklahoma at the Gaylord Family- Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman. Okla. The Javhawks lost 7-52.
Winning the game on Saturday showed this team's focus on the task at hand. Sure there were errors against the Horned Frogs, but the team showed the composure that it will need to compete for a championship.
That win extended the school-record 12 game home winning streak that won't be in jeopardy until next Monday when they play West Virginia.
And it wasn't just the players.
Now comes the home stretch for this team, with nine games left in the regular season.
More importantly, Kansas did not have a letdown afterwards as they took care of business and beat TCU on Saturday.
The win also got the attention of the other contenders in the Big 12 that this team will be in the mix this season.
The win over the Wildcats could be a defining moment for a Jayhawk team that's been mediocre the past few seasons.
From the postgame pictures it appeared coach Ray Bechard showed off his vertical leap in the locker room with a look of ibulation on his face.
WEIS STILL UNDECIDED
Crist and Cummings still contending for starting quarterback position
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
The only news on the Kansas quarterback front is that there is nothing new.
For the second week in a row coach Charlie Weis has deferred to talk about the battle between fifth-year senior Dayne Crist and freshman Michael Cummings until his weekly press conference of Tuesday.
Last Saturday in Norman, Okla., it was Cummings who got the start but was rotated with Crist in different packages. Yet both paed in comparison to their counterpart on the Sooners, Landry lones.
"Hes had a couple of flat games, but when he's on he's on," Weis said of Jones during Monday's teleconference call. "Unfortunately he got him on one of those nights."
Weis said Jones had a dangerous combination of strength, accuracy and ability to complete passes.
Jones racked up 291 yards and three touchdowns while Crist and Cummings combined for just 124 passing yards with no touchdowns. Kansas' only score of the day came from junior running back James Sims with a little over three minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Sims' score was a reminder of the jayhawks' biggest strength on offense — rushing. While the passing game continues to work out kinks and the defense continues to improve, Weis is pleased with the rushing game.
"I do like the fact that they've fought till the end of every game, even in the Oklahoma game," Weis said.
But even with the quarterback struggles, Weis doesn't place any more blame on Crist or Cummings than the rest of the
team. The coach who turned Tom Brady into an NFL superstar says it has got to be a collective effort on offense. Weis said the team's successes or failures are a group effort, not the responsibility of just one player.
"I think just to hang the quarterback out to dry is not the direction I would take it," he said.
It's somewhat of a different sentiment from Weis, who at his introductory press conference vowed to make the layhawks a competitive team — and from a competitive standpoint, he has done just that.
against Rice, Northern Illinois, TCU and most recently Oklahoma state for plain competitiveness to satisfy the first Kansas coach.
Yet this Jayhawks team has come too close to winning games
"I think to just hang the quarterback out to dry is not the direction I would take it."
CHARLIE WEIS Football coach
Weis appreciates that players play hard but he is already itching to get to the next level.
"Moral victories isn't what
you're in this for," Weis said. "The next hurdle that our program needs to get over is we've got to beat somebody. Competing, that's great, but sooner or later you've got to beat somebody."
It won't get any easier for the Jayhawks to find a victory the rest of the season. Starting next week with the 23rd ranked Texas, Kansas will face three more top 25 teams Texas Tech,West Virginia and Baylor, the nations best passing offense.
Weis will be the first to admit the Big 12 is at one of its highest levels, meaning competitiveness might be even more crucial at this stage of the rebuilding process.
"I'm new to the Big 12 and I'm
just in the grind of going through this schedule," Weis said. "I just know that anyone outside this conference doesn't understand the talent in this league. Every week you're dealing with another set of problems. It doesn't make a difference who you're playing."
MEN'S BASKETBALL

A year of extra practice well spent
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor drove to two hours and 43 minutes to Columbia, Mo., to watch their teammates play in a crucial conference game last season. They saw firsthand how fierce the rivalry could be, as the Missouri fans routinely honked and flipped off the car with a Jayhawk license plate as they passed it on the highway.
It was one of many drives the duo, who are also roommates, undertook to watch their teammates play following the decision by the NCAA that ruled them ineligible to play last October.
"They took a negative and made it into a positive," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "And it's really not bad for their life at all."
McLemore and Traylor responded to the NCAA ruling that prevented them from playing with the team all last season, and from practicing with the team until second semester, by working hard in the classroom, with each of them posting above a 3.0 GPA.
The ruling also helped the players on the court. In the spring semester, McLemore was charged

Traylor said the time spent around Robinson helped out his game and his maturity.
with defending the explosive Tyshawn Taylor, and Trayler had to match-up with National Player of the Year candidate, Thomas Robinson.
Playing against the strong 237 pound Robinson forced Traylor to become a tougher presence inside, which is important, as Traylor will be one of the players expected to fill the void left by All-American Thomas Robinson.
Robinson also helped Traylor develop as a person off the court.

"I think that Ben could've been a difference maker," Self said. "We line up with Kentucky with Ben, we match up along the perimeter better, but that doesn't mean our team would've been as good, maybe our chemistry wouldn't have been as good or what not."
McLemore now is in a position where he is used to how Self runs the practices, but lacks the in-game experience of a veteran. But McLemore said being around the older guys helped out his maturity where he now stays focused on what he needs to do to help the team out.

"It's been amazing to me how much they've both improved in practice; just since the start of practice, because they're starting to get it." Self said.
Although both players would've contributed to the smaller than usual rotation the Jayhawks employed last season. McLemore came into last season as the more heralded recruit who would've had a more significant immediate influence.

MySuccess helps students to stay on track in classes
Students in Classics 148, located in Budig Hall, attend lecture on Friday. The students are all involved in using the new "My Success" program.
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Nick Stadler, a freshman from Overland Park, is one of 400 students enrolled in the Greek and Roman mythology class, but he receives a personal notification from his instructor when he excels or struggles on an assignment.
Stadler's class, Classics 148, is one of nine involved in the MySuccess program introduced this fall, which aims to improve student persistence — especially with freshmen — at the University. Each week, students who are failing an assignment receive a "flag" while those who did exceptionally well receive a "kudos," both in the form of email notification.
"The kudos show that the instructors are involved with the students." Stadler said. "If I got a flag, I would make sure to buckle
down and read."

as students receiving six flags are required to meet with their academic adviser.

Pustol said, "It's like the 'check engine' light of their academic car"
For Amy Carlisle, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., receiving a flag was a wake-up call.
"I had been forgetting to do the online quizzes,but now I am
reminded to do them," Carlisle said.
Even still, Samz-Pusol sent students 96 kudos and 140 flags last week, a quarter and a third of the class, respectively. She estimates
"If students simply came to class, they would do so much better."
ANDREA SAMZ-PUSTOL Graduate Student
only half of the enrolled students show up for lecture.
"The lectures are posted online, so I think a lot of students think they will watch it
later, but then never do," Samz-Pustol said. "If students simply came to class, they would do so much better."
So far, 17 flagged students from Classics 148 have met with their advisers as a result of the program.
The program's results will be analyzed by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning toward the end of the semester, said Kathryn Tuttle, Assistant Vice Provest for Student Success.
"A key is to try to assess the impact on student performance and see if it increases the number of students who are successful in the class and who persist at KU," Tuttle said. "The plan in the longer term is to have a significant number of first- and second-year courses utilizing MySuccess."
As for Keagan Long, a freshman from Overland Park, receiving kudos for his higher quiz scores boosts his engagement in the class.
"They keep me on track," Long said.

ELECTION
Campus political groups encourage voting Nov.6
LUKE RANKER
lranker@kansan.com
University student groups offer outlets for students to volunteer with political campaigns or to just discuss political issues despite party affiliation or lack thereof.
With the presidential election moving into its final weeks, students searching for ways to get involved have a few options on campus.
KU YOUNG DEMOCRATS
Gates, a senior from Wichita, said the Young Democrats participated with several organizations, including the Dole Institute of Politics' Student Advisory Board, in a large drive to register voters. As the election gets closer, Gates said the group will seek local candidates to support and focus on increasing voter turn out. She said Young Democrats are concerned with the direction Romney wants to take education and health care reform, issues that directly affect students.
"Everyone only gets one vote, and it counts as much as the next persons," she said. "Saying that you are not going to vote because you will not make a difference is really just an excuse for shirking your civic duty."
Evan Gates, president of KU Young Democrats, said in an email that the group wants to make sure students understand that every vote counts.
"We have found when talking with students a lot of them just don't realize what a crucial election this is for our generation," she said.
KU COLLEGE REPUBLICANS
Jacob Peterson, president, said KU College Republicans' major goal is supporting local and national candidates. He said members have worked directly for local Republican candidates by walking in parades and doing door-to-door campaigning.
For the presidential campaign, the College Republicans held phone banks at its weekly meetings.
"We reach out to Romney supporters and encourage them to vote," Peterson said.
Along with helping campaigns, he said the group raised publicity for registering to vote and plans to continue promoting voting before the election.
Peterson, a senior from Osage City, said that while group activity has weakened over the semester, new members frequently join.
"We've been really pleased with our turnout," Peterson said.
YOUNG AMERICANS FOR LIBERTY
Anthony Orwick, social media coordinator, said Young Americans for Liberty is a nonpartisan, nonprofit
group that doesn't support any specific candidate.
"It's that place for students who are politically homeless," he said.
Orwick, a sophomore from Overland Park, said Young Americans for Liberty tend to lean toward libertarianism because they support social liberalism and fiscal conservatism. These issues include lowering taxes and less government involvement in business.
Orwick said that group members discuss current politics at weekly meetings on Tuesdays in the Walnut Room of the Kansas Union. In the past, the group has supported local libertarian candidates, and in September they participated in National Constitution Week.
YOUNG DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST
He said the group would like Libertarian Vice Presidential candidate Jim Gray to visit campus.
Elizabeth Fehr, president of the Young Democratic Socialist, said the Democratic Socialist wants to apply democracy to all aspects of life, including wealth.
Fehr, a sophomore from Chanute, said one of the major things the group supports is the Student Loan Forgiveness Act. The bill, introduced in March, aims to freeze student loans at 3.4 percent and forgive loans if students pay at least 10 percent of their income for 10 years. She said the group has been petitioning to gain support for the bill.
Fehr said that while she supports President Obama, Democratic Socialist members support a wide range of politicians. She said the group hasn't done anything specific for the presidential election.
"We're focusing on building membership," she said.

SUA hosts artisan crafting, students learn about other cultures

Bellus isn't alone in her love of DIY. According to the Daily Mail, homemade gift websites like Etsy have turned the hobby into a $29 billion industry. And in the TV world, the TLC reality competition "Crafting Wars" debuted this summer.
Taylor Bellus loves crafts. After discovering crafting as a kid, she's turned an old coffee table into a bench, created a thriffy way to display her jewelry with a bulletin board and made several projects with magazine cutouts.
"It's a good stress reliever and a great way to get away from work for a while", said Bellus, a sophomore from Shawnee.
Crafting has even become a
Although Bellas called crafting one of her favorite ways to break away from school, she said the hobby is hard for college students to afford.
Craft supplies may be expensive, but there are opportunities on campus for students to do crafts for free. Student Union Activities began hosting Artisan Crafts earlier this month. As part of the event, students are invited to learn about crafts from various cultures with an artisan from the Lawrence or Kansas City area.
popular pastime among college students. Websites such as Pinterest and Tumblr provide inspiration for do-it-yourself projects.

Last week's event was a calligraphy lesson from Kansas City-based artisan Leslie Tarzy. The last two opportunities of the month will be Guatemalan doll-making today followed by sugar skulls next Wednesday on Halloween. Both artists leading the upcoming lessons are from Mattie Rhodes, a nonprofit organization in Kansas City, Mo., that focuses on multicultural programming.
painted on their hands by the artisan.
"It's a great deal because a henna kit usually costs about $15 or $20," said Subha Upadhyayula, cultural programming coordinator of SUA.
Valerie Peterson, SUA assistant coordinator of cultural programming, said she feels students are so used to a busy class schedule that they miss out on experiencing everything around them.
The Spencer Museum of Art hosts a monthly Craftsy Meet-up in the gallery of the museum, offering another crafting experience. Participants bring projects they are working on and discuss crafting ideas with fellow crafters.
Kristina Walker, director of education at the Spencer Museum of Art, said that the Craftsy Meet-ups lets students expand their social circle.
"There'a a whole world out there that people are missing and a lot of things that people don't get the chance to see," Peterson said. "When we put this on, they get the opportunity."
"It's an opportunity for social engagement and interaction," Walker said. "It's a chance to meet new people who share common interests."

Obama shares blueprint for next presidential term with supporters
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Obama, with sleeves rolled up, held up a copy of the full color, 20-page "Blueprint for America's Future" that his campaign planned to distribute across the country — a
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — With just two weeks until Election Day, President Barack Obama on Tuesday began a cross-country rush to hold onto office in tough economic times with a new booklet outlining his second-term agenda and a closing argument that the choice comes down to trust.
The president emerged from the last of his debates with Republican Mitt Romney fueled by a rush of adrenaline matched by thousands of boisterous supporters who filled the outdoor Delray Tennis Center to hear him speak.
The crowd repeatedly interrupted Obama's 22-minute speech with applause and chants of "four more years" that drowned out his remarks.
BARACKOBAMA.COM
FORWARD
Obama's challenge is to convince voters who may be hurting financially that he is better qualified to lead the country back to economic prosperity than Romney, who made a fortune as a successful businessman.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Florida, you know me," Obama said. "You can trust that I say what I mean and I mean what I say. And yes, we've been through tough times. But you've never seen me quit."
Both campaigns predicted victory, trying to ward off worries among the supporters they need to get to the polls.
"We joke about Rommesia," Obama said, a reference to his joke that his challenger has a habit of vacillating positions. "But you know what? This actually is something important. This is about trust. There is no more serious issue in a presidential campaign than trust."
"In two weeks, a majority of Americans will choose Gov. Romney's positive agenda over President Obama's increasingly desperate attacks," said Romney spokesman Ryan Williams in a statement responding to the presi-

booklet that offered a repackaging of his ideas in response to GOP criticism that he hasn't clearly articulated a plan for the next four years.
Neither side can claim the lead at this late stage with polls showing a neck-and-neck race nationally and in some of the key swing states.
President Barack Obama speaks to supporters as he lays out his plan to move the country forward on Tuesday during a campaign stop in Delray Beach, Fla.
He argued that voters want to know what a presidential candidate will fight for and said Romney isn't offering a clear vision.

their dueling declarations of victory.
Obama senior strategist David Axelrod said he was confident Obama would win and that Americans soon will know who's been bluffing in
Axelrod said the campaign was printing 3.5 million copies of his second-term agenda to reach the "small universe" of voters who haven't made up their minds.
"We have the ball, we have the lead," Axelrod told reporters on a conference call.
The booklet, which they plan to distribute at events and campaign offices across the country, outlines the president's plans to improve education, boost manufacturing jobs, enhance U.S.-made energy, reduce the federal deficit and raise taxes on the wealthy.
Romney policy director Lanhee Chen responded that Obama was trying to fool people into thinking he has new ideas when all he's offering
is more of the same plans that Chen said have been ineffective.
"A gloss pamphlet two weeks before an election is no substitute for a real agenda for America. As much as President Obama might try, you can't gloss over four years like the last four," Chen wrote in a memo.
Obama also touted economic gains in a new 60-second television advertisement in which he speaks directly to the camera about his plans for a second term.
The ad will air in the nine
states whose electoral votes are still considered up for grabs — New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nevada and Colorado.
Those states were sure to see a burst of activity in visits from the two campaigns, political commercials and voter mobilization in the race that's likely to cost upward of $2 billion by the time it all ends. Obama campaigned Tuesday in Florida and was headed to Ohio, while Romney headed West to Nevada and Colorado.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — An Egyptian court on Tuesday asked the country's highest tribunal to rule on whether to disband the body tasked with writing a new constitution. The delay in a ruling is a possible blow to liberals, since it could give Islamists time to finish drafting the contested document.
The referral of the case to a higher court is the latest twist in a bitter struggle between Islamists and their secular rivals over Egypt's first constitution since it set out on a path to democracy following the ouster of longtime President Hosni Mubarak last year.
Islamists, who dominate the constitutional assembly, are racing to put a draft to a public referendum before the judges rule.
The work and the composition of the 100-member constitutional
assembly have been the subject of fierce debate. The focus is the potential for stricter implementation of Islamic law, or Shariah, and empowerment of religious scholars that liberals fear could signal a turn toward a theocratic state.
Along with the contentious role of religion in the nation's affairs, Islamists and liberals are haggling over other proposed articles relating to women rights, freedom of worship, presidential powers, immunity for the military from civilian oversight and undercutting the powers of the Supreme Constitutional Court.
Supporters of the panel say it was set up by an elected parliament and broadly represents Egypt's political factions. Critics counter that the process is dominated by majority Islamists, such as the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt's new president, Mohammed Morsi, and more radical groups.
It was not known when the top court would rule on the petition. However, the ruling could come after the people have voted on the constitution.
A new constitution would be a key step in establishing a democracy to replace the Mubarak's regime, ousted last year in an uprising led by progressive, secular activists.
Taliban insurgents kill 10 Afghans
ASIA
KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban insurgents killed 10 Afghan troops in an ambush in western Herat province, police and government officials said Tuesday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A spokesman for the provincial governor, Muhiudin Noori, said the Afghan troops — which included both soldiers and police — were searching late Monday for a group of insurgents who had earlier set up a roadblock, stopping and seizing passing vehicles, when they were ambushed.
Five policemen, including the district commander and five soldiers died in the ensuing firefight.
Noori said. There were no insurgent casualties, but police later arrested 25 suspects found in the area, he said.
Also Tuesday, an American service member was killed in an insurgent attack in the east, the U.S. military said in a statement. It did not provide further details about the attack. The latest death makes at least 12 American service members killed so far this month and 265 killed so far this year.
and west of the country.
The Herat ambush was the bloodiest single incident for Afghan security forces this year in western Afghanistan — an area where the insurgents have been less active than in their strongholds in the east
In recent months, Taliban guerrillas have been switching tactics and increasingly targeting Afghan security forces as the international coalition continues its drawdown toward a planned withdrawal of the majority of combat troops in 2014.
Meanwhile, President Hamid Karzai condemned "in the strongest possible terms" a NATO raid on Sunday in Logar province in which he said four children were killed.
A presidential statement said coalition troops carried out the operation in Baraki Barak district in an effort to apprehend two armed militants. But this resulted in the deaths of the four children who were tending to their animals in the same area, it said.
Din Mohammad Darweh, spokesman for the provincial governor, said the victims were between 10 and 13 years old.
NATO on Tuesday acknowledged that its forces "may be responsible for the unintended, but nonetheless tragic, death of three Afghan civilians" during the operation in Baraki Barak district. Coalition commander U.S. Gen. John R. Allen expressed his condolences to the families of those killed.
There was no immediate explanation for the discrepancy in the number of victims in the two statements.

Labor workers urge removal of brochure
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — It was intended as a friendly guide to Russia for labor migrants from Central Asia, but instead it turned into an insult. The brochure with practical advice on how to deal with border guards, police and other authorities was illustrated with depictions of migrant workers as paint brushes, brooms and other tools of low-skilled work.
ПОЛЕЗНЫЕ
СОВЕТЫ
The government of Tajikistan formally urged Russian authorities to remove the book from circulation, and representatives of the Uzbek community voiced their outrage.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Activists see the book as a reflection of the discrimination against the growing number of impoverished migrants in Russia who are working construction, cleaning offices, sweeping the streets and collecting the garbage.
"It's xenophobia pure and clear," said Lev Ponomaryov, a veteran Russian human rights defender. "They show residents of St. Petersburg as humans and depict migrants as construction tools."
Even though "A Labor Migrant's Handbook" was promoted on a city government website, authorities denied any connection to the publication after bloggers discovered it and publicized it online last week. A non-government organization that published 10,000 copies of the book in the Russian, Uzbek, Kyrgyz and Tajik languages insisted it wanted to provide useful information about everyday life in Russia.
An illustration from "A Labor Migrant's Handbook" reads Useful Hints in St. Petersburg, Russia.
"We didn't mean to insult anyone with this brochure — on the
contrary, we aimed to help labor migrants learn about their rights and avoid getting into trouble in this city," said Gleb Panfilov, deputy head of the Look into the Future group that published the book.
Panfilov said his group had people from the ex-Soviet nations of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan look at the proofs prior to publication and received no complaints. He said he couldn't understand the public outrage now, many months after its release.
Alimzhan Khaidarov, the leader of the Uzbek community in St. Petersburg, said he was offended by the brochure. "They compared us, representatives of the ancient Uzbek culture, with construction tools. And not only us, but also representatives of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan", Khaidarov said.
He said rights groups representing migrants from Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan will consider filing a lawsuit.
What should I do
if I suspect a
natural gas leak?
- Jen asked us
That's an important question, Jen.
While natural gas has an excellent safety record, accidents or misuse of natural gas appliances and equipment could cause a leak. You can't see a leak, but you should be able to smell it. Many people say the odorant we add to natural gas smells like rotten eggs.
If you ever think you smell natural gas:
- Get everyone out of the building immediately leave the door open as you exit.
- Call Black Hills Energy or 911 from outside using a cell phone or your neighbor's phone.
- Don't touch switches for lights or other electric appliances, and don't use a phone inside the building. Any spark can cause ignition.
- Remain outside the building until emergency personnel arrives.
If you smell natural gas, leave immediately and then call Black Hills Energy's 24-hour emergency number at 800-694-8989.

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
Radnor cleverly depicts college
ALEXIAMR
Whenever "How I Met Your Mother" eventually ends, its engaging central star Josh Radnor has a promising career waiting for him in the indie film scene. "Liberal Arts," his second feature as writer, director and star, proves he's made the transition to the big screen (as a triple threat, no less) exceptionally well — and he's managed to do so with a strong voice, an enchanting story and thoughtful insight to boot.
alamb@kansan.com
Any movie about higher education (not focused on the partying) needs to have something intelligent to say, and this one examines what makes college "the best years of your life." Not so much from the perspective of a student, but from the nostalgia of 35-year-old Jesse (Radnor) as he returns to campus for a weekend to speak at the retirement dinner of his favorite professor (Richard Jenkins).
While there, he meets and develops a deep connection with 19-year-old Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen), a mature, beautiful sophomore who reawakens in Jesse a zest for life he hasn't felt since graduating. After Jesse's departure, they maintain a handwritten letter correspondence, discussing classical music that Zibby enlightened Jesse with.
When they decide to turn their little romance into a reality, Jesse makes another trip back to his old school, though he questions the morality of his situation. Is Zibby right for him, or is he simply stuck in arrested development trying to recapture his youth and needing to grow up? The result is a clever twist on the coming-of-a tale, since it works for both Jesse, a functioning adult, and Zibby, a bright-eyed college kid.
Key to the believability of the whole film is Zibby, and there's no one more perfect for this role than Olson. She exhibits precisely the kind of captivating allure that could not only lead Jesse but any guy to forget how society looks down on a couple with a 16-year age difference between them.
Not only is she the most stunningly gorgeous young new actress in Hollywood, but her charismatic charm and tender vulnerability will make your heart swell. Her chemistry with Radnor elicits the delightful mood of classic Woody Allen romantic comedies — without the narcissism — and is rounded out with a wonderful supporting cast.
Career character actor Jenkins acts as a wistful, wise sort of father for Jesse, while Allison janney plays an important role

late in the movie as lesse's other favorite professor, serving him a hilariously blunt reality check. Zac Efron even makes a couple appearances as a goofy hippie-type.
For both current students and adults looking back at their university education, this is one of the more sincere and subdued meditations on the awe of college.

TELEVISION
Reality TV spinoffs out of control
Everyone has a guilty pleasure, a possibly embarrassing secret obsession that only surfaces when you're alone. Mine is horrible reality TV. I can't get enough of the trashy behavior and over-dramatic arguments.
However, the over-abundance of spin-offs from those shows has crossed the line from annoying to worrisome.
According to the 2000 Nielson Media Research, 82 percent of MTV viewers are between the ages of 12 and 34. In 2010, the core ratings for the same age group rose 16 percent. That is the largest increase since 1999.
"Jersey Shore" has been a trainwreck of awesomeness. But is there a necessity to air an entire show dedicated to Snooki and JMwow? Viewers don't care what individual Jersey Shore cast members do with their lives between seasons. The cast is a package deal.
"Nicole, Pauly D and Jenni have become household names as a result of their unique, sometimes outrageous and often hilarious personalities," said MTV programming vice president, Chris Linn, in a 2011 interview. "[...] Both series are fun, fresh ways for us to evolve what is an already successful brand for us."
"With a ready-made formula and an established fan base, it's no wonder so many TV execs greenlight tons of reality spin-off series each year," wrote Tucker Cummings, TV blogger and Yahoo contributor. "But in almost every case, the spin-off series fails to capture the charm of the original program."
MTV also provided a look into the simple life of California teenagers with "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County." At least five spin-offs have been created following the season finale. MTV has apparently never heard the phrase "less is more."
MTV saw it otherwise.
Networks are already batting the cancer that is reality TV. It is safe to say that viewers are not in need of the bastard children of these poorly adapted series.
Bravo has also overdone spin-offs with a Housewives show for nearly every major city in the country.
Entertainment writer Kati Johnston said it best in an article for MSN: "It's human nature to want to let the good times roll as long as they possibly can — and in the networks' case, to milk a concept with an inch of its life," she said. "Thus was born the TV spin-off."

A sneak peek at the future of green tech
In Kansas, this past summer was unbearable. Throughout June and July, the temperature was always above 85 degrees, and often above 95, and it never rained. But for many Americans (1 in 6 actually), this summer's extreme weather meant drought ravaging crops, forest fires and flash floods damaging homes and property. After this summer of extreme weather, the number of Americans who believe that climate change is affecting weather has increased from 70 percent to 75. With a majority of Americans believing in global warming, it's time for a change.
TECHNOLOGY
Now I'm not going to convince you that your gas guzzling F-250 is destroying the environment, which it is, but humans have made an insane impact on the environment. What I will say is that the future is green technology, and you should get to know a few of the technologies that are making headlines now.
THE NEW(ISH) ELECTRIC CAR
It looks like a Porsche, has a 300-horsepower engine, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds, faster than a 2013 Ford
Mustang, all while being about as loud as your microwave. You've probably already heard of Tesla, the electric car company brought to you by Elon Musk, the same crazy Internet mogul that built Space-X and sent a rocket to the International Space Station.
By Andrew Simpson asimpson@kansan.com
Tesla has recently been a front-runner in electric car technology, and is once again tackling one of the major problems associated with electric cars: range. While Tesla's cars have a range of up to 300 miles, what happens if you're traveling and can't go home? Tesla's solution is to start building dozens solar-powered charging stations up and down the California coast, making sure that no car is out of range of a station. They can charge a car in around 3 hours, and Tesla said they will have most of the U.S. covered by 2014. If this small tech company can produce a system that can cover the whole country in electric cars, then hopefully consumers will expect larger companies to do the same.
FUSION POWER, I SWEAR WE'RE ALMOST THERE (AGAIN)
Fusion is the force that has
powered our sun and covered our planet with light for 4.57 billion years. What if we could harness that power on earth? For the past 30 years, fusion power has only been "15 years away" and will still probably take until 2040. But we're getting closer, and it would be a dream come true. It's the ultimate clean energy, using only hydrogen gas, creating only helium, and producing insane amounts of energy (up to 1,000 times the input energy, if simulations are correct).
Right now, there are a few techniques being used to try and attain fusion. Many groups are simply heating hydrogen up to several million degrees into a plasma (like in the center of the Sun) and trying to get energy, while a lab in California is shooting the world's most powerful lasers at a tiny hydrogen pellet and getting energy from, basically, a laser powered hydrogen bomb.
So let me get this straight, there is a technology that could generate enough power to give electricity to 10 billion people, that is generated either by creating a star or based on giant explosions, and you haven't donated money to it yet? You seriously need to change that.
GLASS ROADS
It sounds crazy, I know. Have millions of 3,000-pound cars driving on glass would be a terrible idea. Nobody would be that stupid. Except for Scott Brusaw, who believes glass is the future of the U.S. highway system. Glass doesn't have to be as delicate and frail we believe it to be – in fact, adding different minerals makes many types of glass more flexible than plastic and stronger than steel, more than enough to support the weight of millions of cars a year. Brusaw wants to use this to our advantage by creating a smart highway that is a road system with both solar panels and LED signs underneath glass to create energy and leave drivers
messages on the road.
If you have the U.S. interstate system (47,000 miles long) made of glass roads, and 90 percent have solar panels, then you would have about 184 square miles of pure solar panels. This doesn't sound like much, but 184 square miles would produce about 312 million kilowatt-hours of electricity a day, or about the same amount of energy California uses for an entire year. Not to mention the other 10 percent of roads (not solar panels), which would tell you how fast you were going, if there was construction ahead, or how long it would take you to get downtown.
Although Brusaw has samples of these roads in his lab, even he admits they still need time and would be disgustingly expensive to implement. But imagine having roads that don't need constant construction, generate enough electricity to run most of the country's power, and even tell you how fast you're going. It would be awesome.

It turns out that not everyone views things the same way. I used to look at other cultures through my own narrow lens of comfort, relating everything to my own familiar experiences and values. I looked at Hanukkah as Jewish Christmas and crepes as French pancakes and a Quinceañera as a sweet sixteen (except the Mexicans were off by a year). And bless my parents for trying, but I begged them to let me eat every meal at McDonald's when we took our first international trip to Spain. I found great comfort in knowing that every culture was "just like us." And I ignored the sources that were beyond my own personal understanding.

There's a girl in my dorm named Aliaa who wears a jihab on her head and a smile on her face. She's lived in Egypt and
I watched four consecutive hours of CNN coverage on the attacks at the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya and the subsequent riots and did not once hear from an Islamic source. The only sources we have are from our very own government, because it's so expensive and risky to place journalists in war-torn areas. Welcome to 21st century propaganda: All of our information about the Middle East comes from America.
I'm a journalist now, and I make mistakes; I don't always include every pertinent source, which is just plain wrong. But the extent to which the American media has demonized the
Islam eluded me when I was a kid. I only knew that the women wore hoods on their heads and that the men hatened America, which today I understand is not true. According to the general public, terrorists only came from the Middle East. That didn't make much sense to me. I was living in the suburbs of Washington D.C. at the time, and those guys who murdered civilians from the beltway were way more terrifying to me than any Muslims; yet the people on the news only called them "snipers."

Above all, I've learned that there isn't an American equivalent to everything. Muhammad isn't Muslim Jesus - he's Muhammad. We shouldn't claim that it's perfectly fine to insult another religion's prophet merely because we choose to desecrate, our own. Maybe we should learn something about this religion from the people who actually practice it before we demonize it from being different from ours. Behind the hijab or abaya or burqa, there is a pair of eyes that see from their own point of view.
Islamic people is criminal. Over 90 percent of Middle Easterners are Muslims; therefore, almost anything that occurs in this turbulent region will involve a person of Islamic faith. But religion is not always relevant to a story. A headline like, "Christian Jerry Sandusky Guilty of Molesting 10 Boys" would seem pretty out of place in an American newspaper. And yet our media feels the need to cite religion as the cause every single time a car bomb explodes in Afghanistan.
Saudi Arabia, and she's taught me more about Islam just from our lunchtime conversations than I've learned from 18 years of schooling and media exposure. For instance, I was under the impression that Muslim women are completely subjugated by men. However, Aliaa explained to me that women only have a strict public dress code in Saudi Arabia; each country has its own customs that cannot be applied to the entire nation of Islam. She proudly wears her hijab by choice, out of respect for her religion and in the name of modesty. In most Islamic countries, women can do everything that men can.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Connect in person, not over Facebook
Is social media more addicting than sex? In a Kansan article published on Tuesday, a new study conducted at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business concluded that sex is a strong desire, but social media is harder to resist.
The advancement of technology has created different ways of connecting with others. The Facebook news feed updates you on your friends' lives. It's an information fest, and the more you know the more you feel connected. I can understand that social media is addicting because I love to read hilarious tweets, too. However, the comparison of desires is puzzling.
College is known to be the place where parties are wild and sexual encounters are numerous. Hanging out and hooking up are the new relationship statuses. Watch the 1978 classic comedy film "Animal House" and you can see how sex is considered a vital part of college life as Eric "Otter" Stratton charms his way into every woman's skirts.
Is this stereotype of college life accurate? According to a National Center for Health Statistics study released in 2011, 21.9 percent of all females and males aged 15 to 24-years-old had never experienced sexual contact with another person in 2002. The study points out an increase to 28.6 percent of all females and 27.2 percent of all males in the same age range never experiencing sexual contact with another person between 2006 and 2008.
Less people are having sex. Is this caused by social media fulfilling our desires to connect with others? Perhaps, but I don't buy it. The desire for physical connection is stronger. That is why so many long distance relationships fail. Twitter and Facebook provide an illusion of connection and two partners often call it quits because they don't see each other every day. Social media is available for everyone and that makes it addicting and safer than creating and maintaining a physical relationship.
We tweet, post status updates and create online associations with others because it has become the norm to not talk face to face. My roommate made an interesting discovery on Craigslist that proves my point. Instead of talking to someone people are posting "missed connections" in the Lawrence personalis for the redhead at Wendy's or the guy at the rec. Is it too difficult to talk to people? It is definitely safer to post on the Internet, but it prevents you from actually connecting with that person you want to get to know.
As humans we desire physical connection and it may be that social media has been made so available to everyone that the desires have shifted from physical to cyberspace. Don't be fooled. The social media connection is nothing compared to the sexual one. Let go of your fears. Talk to the guy in biology you have been sitting behind or the girl you see in the library every Wednesday. Don't let social media control your life and socialize the old fashioned way. Toga party anyone?

K-State's diversity provides success
Kansas State quarterback Colin Klein passes during a game against West Virginia. The team is ranked No. 4 and may be barreling toward a spot in BCS title game.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. — The star quarterback used to be a wide receiver, and the top wide receiver used to be a quarterback.
There are junior college players from the most out-of-the-way places imaginable, and Division I transfers getting a fresh start.
Small-town high school stars from the Heartland, and a motley collection of talent overlooked by most of college football's marquee programs.
This is No. 4 Kansas State, arguably the most diverse team in the country.
And it's of the best, too.
Listening to quarterback Collin Klein describe the hodge-podge that makes up the only unbeaten team in the Big 12, it's as if the Heisman Trophy candidate is likening sagely coach Bill Snyder to the Statue of Liberty — "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses," as the Emma Lazarus poem goes, only this time it's the overlooked and the underappreciated.
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
"We do come from pretty diverse parts of the country, diverse backgrounds, different
roads that have brought us here," Klein said.
They've already won at Oklahoma and West Virginia. They're 7-0 overall, 4-0 in the conference, and for once a favorite going into this weekend's game against No. 15 Texas Tech.
"It mean, it goes back to his formula of taking whoever is here and bringing us in and molding us together and creating a true team to where it doesn't matter where you came from. how you got here, anything like that. What matters is now."
Right now, the Wildcats are the hottest team in the country.
Poring over the roster, though, this isn't the kind of team that should be stacking up against top-ranked Alabama, high-flying Oregon or even high-profile Notre Dame.
The vast majority of these guys weren't five-star prospects coming out of high school.
Heck, most of them didn't even arrive at K-State out of high school, instead going through a junior college for reasons ranging from academics to lack of interest the first time around.
Seven seniors to be recognized before season's last home game
Senior forward Whitney Berry congratulates freshman forward Courtney Dickerson for scoring a goal in the first half. The Jayhawks suffered a 3-1 defeat against Texas Tech this Sunday.

nevans@kansan.com
As an impressive season comes to a close this Friday, Kansas will honor seven seniors as they grace the pitch at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex one final time.
Both collectively and individually, the seniors on the Jayhawk squad have made a huge contributions this season. The seniors have created a fast-paced, relentless atmosphere on a pitch that made it difficult for opponents to play against them, while offering their leadership to the younger players.
"They've been a great group. They've worked hard and done everything we've asked of them," coach Mark Francis said. "They've done a great job leadership-wise, especially."
Forward Whitney Berry has been a shooting and play-creating machine this season. She has 17 points this year, clinching five goals and a team-leading seven assists. She has taken 61 shots this season, 27 of which have been on goal. She has been awarded with numerous honors ranging from the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll to All-Big 12 Second Team.
Berry's constant positive outlook and fierce presence on the field have been huge factors for the Jayhawks. Berry has been a playmaker whose presence is felt on the pitch. She always gets involved in the play, setting a great example for other girls to replicate.
Despite being quiet in the record books, forward Nicole Christopulos has proven to be a fierce competitor on the field. She has recorded an assist and a goal this year, while taking 11 shots, five of them being on target. Her goal was against the Iowa State Cyclones.
Chrisopulos is the kind of player who creates plays that the record books cannot record, which causes her to not get the credit she deserves. She is an important player in that she has great field vision. She is able to see the plays that need to be created in order to maximize to results.
"From all seven seniors, we've all grown up together, and we've sucked it up and led the team," Liebetrau said. "We're putting it all out there."
Defender Cassie Dickerson, who transferred from Ohio State to Kansas this season, promised to bring strength to the Jayhawk defense. She was named 2010 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and lettered two years at Ohio State, and though she played only a short time for Kansas, Dickerson lived up the high expectations.
Dickerson was injured early in the season, causing her to miss most of the season for recovery. Predicted not to return this year, Dickerson returned in early
October, instantly making a difference. Dickerson plays with a quick pace, disrupting the runs the opponents attempt to make and getting the ball back to her teammates.
Amy Grow, a midfielder from Edmond, Okla., plays with the same aggressive vigor as her teammates. She has taken 32 shots this year, five on target, while collecting four assists this year.
Grow appears on both sides of the ball, always being a factor in the play. She disrupts plays the opponents try to create while setting up plays for her own teammates, often being able to create opportunities that her teammates can transform into goals. Grow's
determination and perseverance are necessary for a victory.
Goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau has given nothing but solid performances this year as a dominant presence between the pipes. Liebetrau has collected 29 saves this season, forcing three shutouts this year.
Liebetrau has earned plenty of honors recognizing her goal-stopping and shot-blocking talent, including Big 12 Newcomer of the Week in 2009 and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week in 2010. Liebetrau has 226 saves in her career, a feat that has helped ensure many victories for the Jayhawks during her time with the team.
Midfielder Sarah Robbins has collected two assists this season and taken three shots. Robbins has had limited time on the pitch because she represented Canada in the Women's World Cup, held in Japan earlier in the season.
Robbins has helped keep the ball on the opponent's half of the pitch in her time at Kansas. She has an aggressive style of play that helps her dominate in the midfield, aiding Kansas in maintaining possession of the ball and controlling the tempo of the game.
Defender Shelby Williamson constantly proves her power by stopping threats coming into the Jayhawks' final third. She has started every match of her career, showing persistence and a hard work ethic valuable in any athlete.
Williamson protects the goalkeeper by providing the last line of defense, a job she excels at. Williamson is quick on her feet, clearing the ball with precision to begin scoring runs for the lavihawks.
"I think the leadership with this group of seniors, right away we incorporated everybody in, and I think the chemistry is here there from the beginning." Berry said.

THE MORNING BREW Contender and pretender playoff outlook for NFL teams
A
At this point in the NFL season, almost of the teams believe they have a chance of making the playoffs and earning a trip to New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII. It's also early enough in the season to determine whether these potential playoff-bound teams are legitimate. To clean up the playoff picture, I want to separate the contenders from the pretenders, so let's go through some of the teams that would be in the playoffs at this point in the season and assess their chances of making it all the way.
By Christopher Schaeder
By Christopher Schaeder cschaeder@kansan.com
MINNESOTA VIKINGS
The Vikings have arguably been the NFLs biggest surprise so far this season with a 5-2 record. Experts believed that the Vikings would be overshadowed in the competitive NFC North by the Packers, Bears and Lions, as the preseason consensus was almost unanimous that the team would finish last in the division. The Vikings' defense is greatly improved from last season, with rookie safety Harrison Smith playing at a Pro Bowl-caliber level so far this season. That being said, Minnesota has some issues that may prevent them from making the playoffs. Although the offense has dynamic
weapons in running back Adrian Peterson and wide receiver Percy Harvin, the lack of consistency by second-year quarterback Christian Ponder could greatly hinder the Vikings as the season progresses. After not throwing an interception in the first four games of the season, Ponder has thrown six in the last three games. This problem could continue to surface as Minnesota's schedule gets tougher later in the season when the team plays the Houston Texans and the Packers and Bears twice. I see the Vikings narrowly missing out on a playoff spot this season. Verdict: Playoffs Pretender.
MIAMI DOLPHINS
The Dolphins have been another pleasant surprise in the NFL this season with a 3-3 record and only one game back in the competitive AFC East. Two of the Dolphins' losses have been in overtime, and the defense has looked strong so far this season, not giving more than 14 points in the past two weeks. Rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been another surprise for the Dolphins this season. Many experts questioned the selection of Tannehill at the No. 8 pick in the draft, but Tannehill's reunion with his former college coach Mike Sherman has eased his transition into the NFL. Although Tannehill has thrown four touchdowns and six interceptions, Tannehill's last two games have been encouraging, throwing two touchdowns and zero interceptions. The Dolphins' strong defense and weak schedule should keep them in playoff contention late into the season. Verdict: Playoffs Contender.
The Seahawks have used a similar formula as the Dolphins to earn a 4-3 record so far this season. Seattle is in the top 10 in passing yards, rushing yards and points

per game. The Seahawks
already have impressive wins against the Packers (I know, they shouldn't have won this game, but hey, a win's a win) and the Patriots. They also have one of the best home field advantages in the NFL Field at CenturyLink Field, where the Seahawks have gone 3-0 so far this season. Although Seattle has some tough games remaining on its schedule, I believe that its strong defense and ball-control offense will give the team the opportunity to earn one of the wildcard spots in the NFC. Verdict: Playoffs Contender.

Gilbert wins first medalist honors in NCAA career
Kansas golfer Chris Gilbert earned medalist honors for the first time in his NCAA career at the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate in Las Cruces, N.M. Gilbert shot a final-round two-under 69 to tie University of Las Vegas' Blake Biddle with a total score of 205 (-8) for medalist honors. Gilbert is the first Jayhawk to earn
Bill Ross Intercollegiate in 2010. "it's a big relief," Gilbert said, "I've really been working for this my entire career."

I've been trying hard, and it finally worked out. I'm relieved that I got one out of the way in the fall, so I won't put a bunch of

Freshman Jackson Foth continued to
The tournament came down to a 15-
foot birdie putt on the 18th that would've given Gilbert the outright lead. The putt missed by inches ending the tournament in a tie.
"He was two over and brought it back to two under," coach Jamie Bermel said. "That's how you have to play to give yourself a chance to win. It's good for him because he's been close this fall. The first one's tough to win. Hopefully he can take this into the spring season."
Gilbert ended the fall season with four top-15 finishes and two top-five finishes in just five tournaments.
gain consistency with a two-over 73 to finish the event with a 214 (+1) in a tie for 15th.
"He got in the lineup, and I think as a freshman he just thought, 'OK, I finally made it.'" Bermel said. "Then he went to tournaments and didn't play very well, but he kept qualifying. After a couple tournaments, he felt like he belonged. He played pretty steady."
These consistent performances led to the Jayhawks' fifth-place team with a score of 853, just 12 shots behind champion Wichita State University.
Paul Harris tied for 30th place with a
total of 218. Stan Gautier tied for 37th with 219. Alex Gutesha and Dylan McClure wrapped up the lineup tied for 62nd and 66th place.
The Jayhawks are looking to build on their strong finish in the fall season. For Bermel, his first five tournaments offered an opportunity to get to know his new players. The focus on consistency hasn't gone unnoticed by the coach.
"I think guys are figuring out how they can score well; they're just not hitting it well," Bermel said. "They're not giving up on themselves or getting upset with themselves. They just continue to hang
in there."
The Jayhawks start the spring season Feb. 22 at the University of Wyoming Desert Classic in Palm Desert, Calif.
"I think we've done pretty well in the fail," Bermel said. "That being said, I think we need to take another big step from now until February. It's going to be a lot of work inside. Getting stronger in the weight room and getting mentally tougher are things will work on for the next three months."

After all, history tends to repeat itself.
It may be a long shot for Charlie Weis to have similar success in his second year at Kansas, but it's not crazy to think the future will be a positive one for the lawhaws.

COMMENTARY
Eleven years ago, Terry Allen stumbled across the finish line to complete his final of five seasons as Kansas' head coach. The team was 3-7 and didn't win a game in the Big 12.
KU
Page 7
History repeated in football program
Mangino won in his second year at Kansas, and he won "big." The team went 6-7 in 2003, won three games in the Big 12 and lost in the Tangerine Bowl to Phillip Rivers North Carolina State team. It bought him more time. Four more years of mediocrity, to be exact, before Todd Reesing sparked explosion in 2008.
A FRESH START
Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Turner Gill was often compared to Allen in his two years in charge of the Jayhawks. Allen was known as a "nice guy" and a real player's coach. He came from a Northern Iowa University, where he had Division 1-AA success, yet couldn't duplicate it at Kansas in the Big 12.
You don't have to search back through too many chapters to find it.
While all may seem gloomy for Charlie Weis and Kansas football right now, a simple flip through the Jayhawks' history book, "A Tale of Mediocry," may be their best source of optimism.
Like Allen, Gill was a nice guy. His players loved playing for him. He had a stellar reputation. And he came from University at Buffalo, where he had unprecedented success for the program that also couldn't be duplicated at Kansas. Gill's last year at Kansas was a 2-10 embarrassment with no Big 12 wins.
Heek, even similar things were taking place 80 miles to the west in Mangino's first year, as Kansas State finished sixth in the coach's poll in 2002.
Charlie Weis, much like Mark Mangino, proved that thought wrong. It has gotten worse. While certain aspects of the team may be improved, the record will be worse, just like Mangino's first season.
When Turner Gill was fired, the general sentiment from fans and media was that Kansas football couldn't get any worse.
Ten years ago, Kansas hired Mark Mangino. When Mangino was hired, the program couldn't get any worse, right? Until Mangino went 2-10 in his first season and Kansas didn't win in the Big 12 once again. It was the second time in school history that Kansas had back-to-back seasons with zero wins in conference play.

Weis picks freshman to start as quarterback against Texas on Saturday
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
Kansas head coach Charlie Weis announced yesterday that freshman Michael Cummings will start this Saturday against Texas in the University's 100th homecoming. Weis updated the depth chart, and Cummings is listed first.
Last week, Weis had both Cummings and Dayne Crist listed at the top of the depth chart. This week, however, Weis decided it was time to move on and make the switch to Cummings.
"At this point, when you're 1-6 and things haven't gone real well,
I think you owe it to your team to see what you've got," Weis said.
"Mike had a fine performance for all the circumstances," quarterbacks coach Ron Powls said.
"He certainly has room to grow and things to get better at. But I thought he handled himself well in the situation, and I thought he managed his part of the operation fine. My mindset changed being the starter. But as far as my expectations, they haven't changed."
Powlus defined Cummings as a calm and collected player. Cummings said he will mentally prepare before the game to ensure he keeps a clear head on Saturday.
"Being named the starter definitely helps you prepare mentally in a different aspect for the game," Cummings said. "I feel like I'm going to prepare all week like I know
Cummings received playing time in the second half of the games against Kansas State and Oklahoma State. While Cummings has practiced with the team, Weis gave him his first taste of playing football at the college level. From there, Cummings worked his way up.
Cummings had an opportunity to impress his coaches in the last three weeks, including his first career start last Saturday.
how. I'm prepared to lead the team when my number is called."
After redshirting his first year at Kansas, Cummings finds himself earning the opportunity he always dreamed of. Cummings said he wants to take advantage of it and continue to finish the season as the starting quarterback.
"As long as I got a chance to compete, that's all you can ask for." Cummings said. "All you can ask for is a chance. I just kept my faith, kept my notes and kept working."
Even though Cummings will start as quarterback, Crist remains an important player on the team. Weis said Crist will keep his role
as a captain because his teammates voted for him.
Cummings said he also received advice from Crist and hopes to eventually apply the lessons Crist has taught him.
"Since Dayne's been here, he's been a great influence on me," Cummins said. "Him being a fifth-year senior, he has insight that I won't have until I'm a fifth-year senior. If I can get it from him, then I'll be able to build on that and have more insight to give somebody else down the line."

VOLLEYBALL
Jayhawks gear up to play Iowa State
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Armed with the reigning Big 12 Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week and National Player of the Week, the Kansas Hawayhs aim to do something at 6:30 p.m. tonight that they haven't done since 2004 — win at Iowa State.
Hilton Coliseum is known for giving the Kansas basketball team some tough losses, but it's also been the site of the volleyball team's misfortune. Iowa State has swept the Jayhawks in Ames every year since Kansas won at Iowa State 3-2 in 2004.
"I know last year it didn't take long," coach Ray Bechard said of Iowa State's 3-0 home victory against Kansas last year. "They are really good at home, get a good crowd."
Iowa State enters the match with an 11-7 record and a 5-3 mark in Big 12 play. However, that record is misleading. They defeated Nebraska when the Cornhuskers were ranked No. 1 in the nation, and they beat 2011 NCAA runner-up Illinois. They are also the only team to win a conference play against Texas, pushing the No. 8 Longhorns to five sets before falling. Even though Kansas enters the match with a No. 17 ranking and the Cyclones are No. 22, Beachard still feels his team is in the underdog role.
"They're favored at home against
anybody they play", Bechard said. "A ranking's fine, but if you go into the year before the year started saying, 'Hey, Kansas is going to be the favored team at Iowa State' a lot of people would look at you like you've got four eyes."
Another honor came on Tuesday, when the American Volleyball Coaches Association named Jarmoc its National Player of the Week. She notched 1 kills and 12 blocks on Oct. 17 against Kansas State and a career-high 23 kills on Oct. 20 against TCU. It's the third time in program history a Jayhawk was named National Player of the Week and the first time since 2008.
In previous years, Iowa State clearly had a much better team than Kansas, but the gap is much narrower this year. On Monday, the Big 12 named sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton its Offensive Player of the Week and junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc the conference's Defensive Player of the Week.
Led by Jarmoc and McClinton, the jayhawks are 19-3 overall and 7-1 in Big 12 play, earning them a No. 17 national ranking and No. 8 RPI. Both rankings are the highest in program history.
"Obviously you can tell from the awards that people are getting every week and our record and our stats that everyone is contributing" junior libero Brianne Riley said.
In the teams' first matchup this
season in Lawrence on Sept. 26, Kansas defeated the Cyclones by holding their fast-paced offense to a .149 hitting percentage and coercing them into 33 attack errors.
Senior middle blocker Tayler Toleflee said Iowa State is different from Kansas because the Cyclones like to play fast and catch other defenses off guard. Junior middle blocker Tenisha Matlock leads Iowa State with a 315 hitting percentage, one of only seven players in the conference hitting above .300.
"They try and play fast and catch you moving on defense still and get points that way by sending the ball back over," Tolefreel said. "Their hitters are up early, but they might not swing hard. They can tip and throw it around some, so for us that means being disciplined on our releases on defense and just having a better court awareness."
Iowa State is the worst blocking team in Big 12 play, but they are second in the conference in digs, behind only Kansas. Riley leads the Jayhawks and the Big 12 in digs with 5.28 digs per set, while Iowa State's Kristen Hahn is second in the conference with 5.03 digs per set.
Edited by Sarah McCabe
"I think it makes a huge difference, digging." Riley said. "Coach B always says that if we can outdig them then oftentimes we have a better chance of winning."

Macabre cinema house reenacts horror movies
EMILY LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
Merriam-Webster defines the word macabre as "having death as a subject, dwelling on the gruesome, and tending to produce horror in a beholder." For those looking for a real-world example, the Macabre Cinema haunted house in Kansas City, Mo., fits this definition perfectly.
Although it's designed as a 1930s theater, this isn't your typical Friday night movie scene.
"You enter just like you're going to a movie and then when you're inside the theater, you see the scary movie playing on the screen and pass through a slit in the screen," said Amber Arnett-Bqueaith, vice president of Full Moon Productions. "You actually become part of the movie."
The Cinema attempts to bring to life the action of favorite horror classics. The four floors of the attraction feature more than 30 scenes and sets, including the real movie sets of "Hellraiser" and "The Scorpion King"

Politics come closer to home
STEVI WILSON swilson@kansan.com
Lexie Clark, a senior from Fort Collins, Colo., vividly remembers her parents' strong support of Bob Dole in the 1996 presidential elections as the event that sparked her political interests.
Sixteen years later, Clark will publicly debate her political views with other students during today's Pizza and Politics, hosted by The Dole Institute of Politics.
"It's really important for everyone on campus who may have not watched the other debates to maybe get a student prospective on the issues," Clark said.
Pizza and Politics provides a forum for students to discuss current issues from noon to 1 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Caitlin Doornbs, the coordinator for Pizza and Politics, said the program normally draws high-profile professionals to share their experiences with students, but this debate provides a unique opportunity to promote civic engagement in students.
"My many peers and friends don't know anything about elections or who stands for what," Doornbos said. "It will be a good experience because they'll get the chance to watch these political junkies who have done the research for you."
The KU College Republicans, KU Young Democrats and the KU Young Americans for Liberty are co-sponsoring the event, and each will be represented in the debate. The delegates will discuss federal spending, the proper role of government, health care and social

Auto industry success is kev for voters in Ohio

LORDSTOWN, Ohio President Barack Obama's decision to help America's automakers could end up being what helps drive him back into the White House.
Some 850,000 jobs in this critical battleground state are tied to autos and Obama's campaign constantly reminds voters they'd be jobless if not for the decision to inject taxpayer dollars into General Motors and Chrysler.
However, the move has not translated into automatic support for the president, even in areas that depend on the industry.

Since its restructuring, the General Motors plant in this town of 4,000 people southeast of Cleveland has added a third shift — and 1,200 new workers with it — to produce the popular compact Chevy Cruze. GM has pledged $220 million in updates to the factory and to keep the 4,500 workers, suggesting this town in the former steel-heavy Mahoning Valley has some stability ahead.
Romney volunteer Frank Perrotta still finds Obama's decision to loan automakers billions a misuse of public dollars.
Between calls to voters at Romney's office in Stow, he shakes his head when talking about the government's move to prevent the collapse of GM and Chrysler. The bailout began in 2008 under Republican George W. Bush and Obama extended it.
"I have to run my business responsibly. No one is coming to bail me out if I get into trouble," said Perrotta, a 63-year-old Hudson resident who runs a medical imaging business that employs nine workers. "The bailout was just not fair."

Google uses the Trekker in the Grand Canyon
GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. — Google and its street-view cameras already have taken users to narrow cobblestone alleys in Spain using a tricycle, inside the Smithsonian with a push cart and to British Columbia's snow-covered slopes by snowmobile.
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
The search giant now has brought its all-seeing eyes — mounted for the first time on a backpack — down into the Grand Canyon, showcasing the attraction's most popular hiking trails on the South Rim and other walkways.
It's the latest evolution in mapping technology for the Mountain
View, Calif., company, which has used a rosette of cameras to photograph thousands of cities and towns in dozens of countries for its Street View feature. With a click of the mouse, Internet users are transported virtually for a 360-degree view of locales they may have read about only in tourist books and seen in flat. 2-D images.
"Any of these sort of iconic, cultural, historical locations that are not accessible by road is where we want to go," said Ryan Falar, product at Google.
Google announced the Trekker earlier this year but made its first official collection of data this week at the Grand Canyon.
The backpacks aren't ready for volunteer use,but Google has said
it wants to deploy them at national forests, to the narrow streets of Venice, Mount Everest and to ancient ruins and castles.
Google launched its Street View feature in 2007 and has expanded from five U.S. cities to more than 3,000 in 43 countries.
The move to capture the Grand Canyon comes after Apple chose to drop Google Maps from its mobile operating systems and opted to use its own mapping program that was derided for, among other things, poor directions and missing towns.
Steve Silverman, operations manager for Google didn't directly address the competition in saying: "just trying to document a trail, it's going to be hard to beat this."

Jamaica hit by hurricane
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Hurricane Sandy pounded Jamaica with heavy rain and a powerful storm surge as it headed for landfall Wednesday near the country's most populous city on a track that would carry it across the Caribbean island to Cuba, and then pose a possible threat to Florida. At least one person in nearby Haiti was killed after being swept away by a rushing river.

Militant groups influencing Syria

Syrian residents wheel a man injured from an artillery shell that landed near a bakery, to a hospital for treatment in Aleppo, Syria.
BEIRUT — The current international peace plan seeking to stop Syria's civil war suffered a major setback Wednesday when an Al-Qaida-inspired militant group rejected a cease-fire proposed by the international envoy.
Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria, said the government in Damascus and some rebel leaders had agreed to a four-day truce during the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday, which starts Friday.
The modest scope of the proposal reflected how short the international community is on ideas — and even that appeared doomed. Both sides have agreed to previous, more ambitious cease-fires in the past only to break them, and neither side shows much interest in stopping the fight now.
The Syrian government denied it has made a decision, saying it is studying the proposal, and rebel
leaders have expressed doubts.
An extremist group, Jabhat al-Nusra, which has joined the fight against President Bashar Assad, also rejected the truce.
"There will be no truce between us and the prideful regime and shedder of the blood of Muslims," the group said in a written statement posted Wednesday on mill-
tant websites. "We are not among those who allow the wily to trick us, nor are we ones who will accept us to play these filthy games."

Space tourism looks promising in future
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WARSAW, Poland — British billionaire Richard Branson says his space tourism project keeps being pushed back and isn't sure of an exact date for the first launch.
He says it will be at least another 12 or 18 months before the Virgin Galactic venture can offer paid space travel to adventurers.
The founder of the Virgin Group met with students on his first visit to Poland on Wednesday.
where he came to launch Virgin Academy, which will help young people kick start their own businesses.
Asked about Virgin Galactic, Branson said he has "stopped counting" days to the launch because it gets delayed to "the next year, to the next year."

China approves new nuclear reactors
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2012
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING - China has decided to approve new nuclear power plants as part of plans to reduce reliance on oil and coal, ending the moratorium it imposed to review safety in the wake of Japan's Fukushima disaster last year.
The government's decision Wednesday that nuclear power is safe for China takes the country in the opposite direction from some developed nations such as Germany, which decided in the wake of the Fukushima disaster to speed its complete phase-out of nuclear power. Japan is planning to phase it out by 2040.
China is the world's biggest energy consumer, and building new reactors is a key part of Beijing's plans to curb demand for fossil fuels.
The communist government is aggressively promoting alternatives to coal and oil in order to reduce pollution and curb its reliance on imported petroleum, which it sees as a national security risk. Still, coal is forecast to remain the country's main energy source for decades.
The government said Wednesday it hopes to generate
30 percent of China's power from solar, wind and other renewable sources, as well as from nuclear energy, by the end of 2015. That's up from an earlier target of 15 percent from renewables plus 5 percent from nuclear by 2020.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Only a small number of plants will be built, and only in coastal areas, according to a Cabinet announcement. The plants will meet the most stringent safety standards, it said.
No date was given for resuming construction of nuclear plants. Despite widespread public concern over possible radiation contamination from the Fukushima disaster and calls for improved safety precautions and emergency preparedness, China remains committed to building up nuclear power to help reduce emissions from coal-fired plants and curb its reliance on costly oil imports.
The Cabinet on Wednesday passed plans on nuclear power safety and development that said construction of nuclear power plants would resume "steadily."
China suspended approvals of new nuclear plants after a tsunami triggered by the massive March 11, 2011, earthquake crippled the Fukushima plant's.

and "Killer Clowns from Outer Space." Bequeaith said there is also a Frankenstein set that has actual electric currents running through it.
Bequeaith said the different scenes are meant to evoke the feeling of fear and play on the different phobias of the patrons.
Zack Rebarchek, a senior from Bonner Springs, went to the attraction last year. He said the experience was "amazing" for him and his group of friends.
"It it tries to make your favorite horror movies come to life, so it's really cool if you are a big movie fan," he said. "I don't know why, but sometimes it's just fun to be scared witless."
Sara Schwalm, a junior from Osawatomie, said the pop culture references were one of her favorite parts of the experience.
Rebarchek described some other aspects of the attraction as "menacing" and "just eerie."
"I'm terrified of mental hospitals, and they had one scene where the doctor was working on a patient," she said. "I made sure to get out of that room as quickly as I could."
If being put in the center
or a horror film isn't quite the level of fear you're looking for, the recent addition of a 40-foot Bate Cave pole that drops you four stories is so intense, it requires you to sign a waiver and verify that you're over 18.
Although she hasn't been yet, Kalen Stockton, a freshman from Topeka, said that the theme of the Cinema is interesting, and because she's "a haunted house junki," she will most likely end up going.
"I just love spooky stuff," Stockton said. "I guess it's because I was born four days before Halloween. It's healthy to scare yourself every now and then."
The Macabre Cinema is open every night at 7 starting this Friday until Halloween. Tickets can be purchased through the Full Moon Productions website. Bequeaith said there are also $5 coupons available at Planet Sub locations in Lawrence and the Kansas City area as well as other discounts through the "Spooks and Specials" promotion on Full Moon's website.

Halloween on the Hill welcomes community

LAWRENCE
Children will be flooding Daisy Hill Sunday from 5-7 p.m. for the residence halls' annual Halloween event.
Every hall on the Hill will participate in the event. Ellsworth Hall is hosting a fun fair with games and cookie decorating for kids. McColum Hall will set up a photo booth in front of Ellsworth. Hashinger Hall will have a kid-friendly haunted house. Templin and Lewis Halls will host trick-or-treating.
"I think it's really cool," said Hassan El-Shoubair, a sophomore from North Brunswick, N.J. "It's awesome that they're bringing the kids around. It also gives students a chance to get to know each other"
Students in Templin and Lewis hall are decorating their floors with themes of scary movies and well-known children's movies. Each floor is getting together to choose their own theme. Caleb Bobo, a freshman from St. Louis, said his floor's theme is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
"I'm pretty excited," Bobo said. "For a low cost we get to do a pretty cool thing. It provides us a safe way to have
run on Halloween without getting in to trouble"
Student leaders and organizers in the residence halls are in charge of the event and welcome any volunteers interested in helping. The funding for the trick-or-treat candy, decorations and activities comes from Student Housing. Its goal is to help students engage in the Daisy Hill and Lawrence communities.
"It helps the University connect a lot more to the people of Lawrence," El-Shoubary said. "I didn't know about the event, but now that I do, I will definitely get into it."
Children and families are being informed about the Halloween event on Daisy Hill in Lawrence schools and by posters downtown and in other areas around Lawrence.
"It really focuses students' attention on something constructive for families and their children," said Christopher Sowa, assistant director of residence for Student Housing. "Oftentimes the students will work for hours on decorating their floors and preparing for the trick-or-treating that happens. It keeps a perspective of what Halloween is about: the children and young people in the community."

There was a rumor this fall that Chipotle would start delivering, but this was later shot down by PR and Marketing Consultant Danielle Winslow. Even though they won't be able to have Chipotle delivered to their door, students have several other delivery options.
Ryan Thomsen, a sophomore from Lamont, said that Jimmy John's is his favorite delivery place in Lawrence because it's consistently fast and always delicious.
Several students said Jimmy John's was also their go-to delivery choice, not only because it is fast and tastes good but also because it's affordable. A regular Jimmy John's sandwich costs about $5 with no additional delivery charge.
Whether for late-night cravings, a quick meal or from an inability to cook, delivery food is often the savior of hungry college students.
Picklemans was the most popular answer when students were asked what their favorite delivery food
was. Sandwiches range from $4.99 to $7.29, and its current special is a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup for $6.99.
"Their prices aren't that much different from Jimmy John's, and in my opinion Pickleman's has better sandwiches," Joers said.
Jack Joers, a sophomore from Downers Grove, Ill., said he loves how Pickleman's stays open until 3 a.m. and that their sandwiches are actually toasted.
When it comes to pizza, there are several options for students to order delivery, and Domino's was the favorite. Its newest item is a medium pan pizza with two toppings for $7.99. Students can also get two medium 2-topping pizzas for $5.99 each. Domino's is the most versatile restaurant when it comes to paying. It accepts cash, debit or credit cards, Cuisine Cash and Beak Em Bucks.

Pizza Shuttle was also a popular choice for students, but some complained that it doesn't accept debit or credit cards.
Fat Freddy's Pizza and Wings is a pizza place unique to Lawrence. It delivers until 4 a.m. Thursday night through Saturday night, one of the latest places open. Its menu ranges from regular pizzas and wings to items like the Wake and Bake Pizza
— a thin crust pizza with cheese, bacon, sausage, tater tots, fried eggs and country gravy — for $14.49.
Mary Kate Welton, a sophomore from Topeka, said that she likes Fat Freddy's because it's one of the only places in Lawrence that delivers cheap and delicious wings.

Hail to 100 years of homecomings
In light of homecoming season and our campus being on a basketball-induced high after Late Night, campus is at its most spirited peak. Crimson and blue flood the Underground at all times, as our signature Rock Chalk Lattes are being made behind the Pulse counters.
With Homecoming Week in full swing, Kansas is a great place to be right about now. And when you give a little bit back to the school you attend, you have to notice its rippling effect. School spirit radiates throughout campus and hopefully it will shine at the football game.
As you join arm in arm at the football game this Saturday, singing the Alma Mater, whether it is your first homecoming or your last, soak it up. This experience, this homecoming—the centennial homecoming—is bound to be a good one. Attitude is everything, and you have the power to set the bar high. Give everything you have to homecoming and find comfort in the memories you are sure to make as we fly through this wonderful, exciting week.

As a pretty big advocate on community involvement, I think it's important we all give back to this school. So, go take a drive
around Lawrence. Walk down Jayhawk Boulevard and appreciate the beauty of our campus. Remember why you chose KU and get ready to celebrate the 100th homecoming this week. Throw on some KU gear and cheer on the Jayhawks, rain or shine, win or lose. Try and give
this school a little bit of the support it deserves, after all, it's giving you life-changing experiences and educational opportunities.
For 100 years, the traditions that the University prides itself on has been showcased and flaunted, this particular week especially. We've been rocking chalk for a century, and that's something to be proud of. So, make this particular week a little bit more special. And whether you're a newbie or a seasoned vet, you never outgrow school pride. Plus, crimson and blue looks good on anyone.
or hanging out on Wescoe Beach looking at the "Century Long. Tradition Strong," chalk artwork, get out there and see what homecoming has to offer. A spirited week will lead to a successful weekend.
Whether you find yourself at the football game on Saturday,
The truth of the matter is this place is pretty cool. As students here, we get to be a part of some really amazing traditions. Hail to old KU, because this school is bigger than us. You should be pretty proud to be a Jayhawk. Have a wonderful and safe homecoming. Rock Chalk.

Don't resort to 'slacktivism'
I'm starting an activist group. Don't worry. It won't be one of those pointless activist groups like "Equal Voting Rights for White-Tailed Deer!" or "The Kansan Needs A More Competent Opinion Editor!" This one will tackle an issue that's very close to my heart, an issue that several of my friends struggle with every day.
I have a friend, whom I will refer to as "James" so you won't find out that his real name is Bob. James writes on his Facebook profile that he considers himself an "activist," and his "likes" seem to reflect that; as I scroll down the list, I find links to pages with names like "Planned Parenthood Action," "The LGBT Project," "Reform Immigration For America," and even "Tattoo Acceptance in the Workplace." The fact that James is a straight, male U.S. citizen with pathetically inkless arms makes this pride parade of Facebook pages even more impressive; he doesn't have to support all these things, but he goes ahead and likes 'em anyway, because he's basically the reincarnation of Mother Teresa.
By Sylas May
smay@kansan.com
And this is what bugs me about the new breed of "slacktivism" that has started cropping up on Facebook and Twitter. You can "like" as many advocacy groups as you want, but if you don't go out in the real world and help to change some of the things you complain about online, all you're really doing is wasting bandwidth. And,
But, in all the time I've known James, I've never seen him speaking out about any of these topics in person. Sure, he's talkative—he'll gladly ramble on about "Doctor Who" until there is bloodshed—
but just try showing him your new face-and-neck tattoo of a shark biting Ron Paul's legs off. He might manage a "Yeah, that's pretty cool, I guess," but he definitely won't ask if your boss has been using derogatory slurs like "inkie" around you because of it. You will not see James writing passionate letters urging his congressman to run down to the Rio Grande and tear down the border fence with his bare hands. If you're the type of lunatic who gets his kicks watching enraged women burn infertiles of Paul Ryan at Planned Parenthood rallies, you won't see James's face in the crowd.
like it or not, you aren't really passionate about tattoo acceptance in the workplace, or ADHD awareness, or most of the other causes that you blindly "liked" after a drunken political discussion with your women's-studies-major roommate.
That's why my new group will advocate for not claiming to be an advocate for so many things that you don't really care about. Like any good advocacy group, it'll have a ribbon, but it'll be beige, the color of mediocrity and tapioca pudding, to remind would-be Mother Teresas that they're not as special as they think they are.
I urge all of you readers to tape beige ribbons to your shirts, go onto your bloated Facebook profiles, and pick one cause off the list. Just one. If you can't decide, close your eyes and play "pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey" with your beige ribbon and go with whatever it sticks to. Finally (and this is the important bit), actually go out and do something for that cause. Write to your senator. Volunteate at a soup kitchen. Maybe even go to a Planned Parenthood rally (but be sure to watch out for the flaming, airborne Paul Ryan chunks).

McCollum will be gone, but memories remain
By Stéphane Roque
sroque@kansan.com
There are days when being a 27-year-old college student makes me feel out of place, a lack of generational camaraderie that's to be expected with my particular situation. McCollum Hall played the foundational factor in why it will have taken me almost a decade since graduating high school to attain a college degree. For reasons I certainly can't disclose in a student newspaper, (let's call them the yearlong string of bad decisions) my experience at McCollum remains one of the most exciting and destructive years of my life.
When entering McCollum, there's nothing that really draws you in. Sure, there's a billiards and ping-pong table to the right, and it's a spacious layout on the main floor, but if you've been to any university dormitory, it's probably similar to McCollum. What's always built McCollum's reputation as a fantastic student-lodging option has been the students and RAs who reside within the dorm. I had the luxury of being on the fourth floor, south wing. That my friends, is where all the weekend magic happened. Picture a dorm floor lined with people who happen to get along with almost every other person on that floor. Making friends is like shooting fish in a barrel with this kind of lodging setup.
There was always something exciting to do with a different "four-south" friend each and every night. From the second I walked off the elevator at level four, I would feel an eager and exhilarating vibe, like that feeling you get when you're about to go to a big get-together with friends. My RA was Steve, a long-haired,

In the end, the building will be demolished, and potentially two new resident halls will sprout up in its place. My surreal freshman experience, in a sense, goes down with it. I won't be able to go back in 10 years and say, "there, that's where I had the best times my freshman year." But I do know this, the view from my car after making a right on Iowa from 23rd street might change, but my memories and friendships I made from McColum will not.

All of that social "go-getting" clearly left me little time to factor school into the equation. But McCollum never had the final say in my decisions, merely it provided me with a self-deliberated bubble from the rest of my academic responsibilities, and you'll continue to hear me say that living in a dorm freshman year is a risky but potentially rewarding experience. Thanks to the generosity of the University's Academic Forgiveness Policy, a policy that allows qualified applicants to have up to two semesters removed entirely from one's University GPA, I was able to salvage a second chance at the University. As if my freshman year never happened, really. And perhaps this is why I can now look back on my time at McCollum as a stepping-stone, rather than a roadblock.

Halloweenend is around the corner, and students are rushing to find the perfect costume and party plans.
There are several opportunities for students to attend Halloween themed events on- and off-campus. From pumpkin patches to a huge Halloween show by EOTO at the Granada, everyone can find some fun way to celebrate.
Carolina Gutterrez, a sophomore from Broomfield, Colo., plans on dressing up as the girls from Toddlers and Tiaras with her friends. She said they bought tutus and sashes and plan on topping it off with glitter.
Connor Bellomy, a sophomore
from Austin, Texas, plans on reliving his childhood by dressing up as Spiderman. He bought silly string cans and plans on having them tied to his wrists for his spider webs.
"I can't wait because I'm going to be shooting people with my webs all night," Bellomy said.
Various events will be happening on campus and throughout Lawrence to celebrate one of the most popular holidays in the country.
PUMPKIN PATCH
vine, free hayrides and a hay maze, all creating a family-friendly atmosphere. Downtown Lawrence will be having its annual trick-or-treat beginning Halloween at 5 p.m.
FOXY BY PROXY
The Granada will be hosting Foxy by Proxy Halloween Extravaganza, a burlesque show, on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door and anyone 18 or older is welcome.
EOTOWEEN will take place Halloween night at the Granada. Michael Travis and Jason Hann make up the dubstep music duo,
EOTO
who have previously performed the Halloween show. Opening for EOTO will be Nmezee and The Floozies. Doors open at 9 p.m., and the show begins at 10 p.m. Outrageous costumes are encouraged, and tickets are $25.
Ruben Tortolero, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., plans on going to as many different places as he can.
"I'm most excited for the atmosphere around Lawrence. Shenanigans will ensue," Tortolero said.
SUA
Students also have Halloweenthemed events to attend on campus. Student Union Activities will
be hosting its annual Rocky Horror Picture Show including costume, time-warp dance and trivia contests on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Snacks, drinks and food to throw at the screen will be provided, along with instructions for those Rocky Horror Picture Show virgins.
SUA will also be hosting a Halloween open house in the lobby of the Kansas Union on Halloween from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Games and refreshments will be provided. Sugar skull-making will also be available, concluding SUA's last artisan craft of the month.

Macabre Cinema brings horror films to life
elegault@kansan.com
EMMA LEGAULT
Merriam-Webster defines the word macabre as "having death as a subject, dwelling on the gruesome, and tending to produce horror in a beholder." For those looking for a real-world example, the Macabre Cinema haunted house in Kansas City, Mo., fits this definition perfectly.
Although it's designed as a 1930s theater, this isn't your typical Friday night movie scene.
"You enter just like you're going to a movie and then when you're inside the theater, you see the scary movie playing on the screen and pass through a slit in the screen," said Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, vice president of Full Moon Productions. "You actually become part of the movie."
The Cinema attempts to bring to life the action of favorite horror classics. The four floors of the attraction feature more than 30 scenes and sets, including the real movie sets of "Hellraiser," "The
Scorpion King" and "Killer Clowns from Outer Space." Bequeaith said there is also a Frankenstein set that has actual electric currents running through it.
Bequeath said the different scenes are meant to evoke the feeling of fear and play on the different phobias of the patrons.
Zack Rebarchek, a senior from Bonner Springs, went to the attraction last year. He said the experience was "amazing" for him and his group of friends.
"It tries to make your favorite
horror movies come to life, so it's really cool if you are a big movie fan," he said. "I don't know why, but sometimes it's just fun to be scared witless."
T
Rebarchek described some other aspects of the attraction as "menacing" and "just eerie."

Sara Schwalm, a junior from Osawatomie, said the pop culture references were one of her favorite parts of the experience.
The Macabre Cinema features more than 30 film sets and scenes. The haunted house is open every day until Halloween.

"I'm terrified of mental hospitals, and they had one scene where the doctor was working on a patient," she said. "I made sure to get out of that room as quickly as I could."
If being put in the center of a horror film isn't quite the level of fear you're looking for, the recent addition of a 40-foot Bat Cave pole that drops you four stories is so intense, it requires you to sign a waiver and verify that you're over 18.

Theatre hosts Horrorshow VI

Halloween horror has returned to the local stage at the Lawrence Arts Center. This weekend EMU Theatre Inc. presents Horrorshow VI, an annual festival of plays featuring zombies, scary clowns, the undead, stage blood and jokes.
Christoph Cording (left), Carol Holstead,and Nick Stock perform in "Best Medicine," one part of Horrorshow VI. The show will be at the Lawrence Art Center Friday, Saturday and next Wednesday.
Horrorshow VI consists of six one-act plays: "Grim Reaper," "Indoor Boy," "Blood Ties," "Dusk," "The Further Tragedy of Rome(r) o and Juliet" and "Best Medicine." This year's Horrorshow marks EMU Theatre's 15th anniversary and combines revitalizations of three popular plays from past Horrorshows with new scripts.
Stowers wrote "The Further Tragedy of Rome(r)o and Juliet," one of Horrorshow's returning performances, a Shakespeare-inspired spoof where undead Romeo and Juliet are confronted by characters from their past.
"EMU is a lot edgier than most theater KU students have probably been exposed to," said EMU Theatre founder Andrew Stowers.
"What we do definitely defies 'traditional' theater material and expectations in favor of new works."
Stowers said.
A zombie frame story unites the six unique plays featured in Horrorshow VI and ties them together while the set is being taken down and set up between play.
Jerry Salisbury, EMU Theatre's public relations director, believes that showcasing six different shorter plays gives Horrorshow a diversity that makes it appeal to the masses.
"You're not just getting a one note show," Salisbury said. "You can laugh, you can cry, you can be scared out of your wits — you can get a little bit of everything with it."
All of the individual plays are between 10 and 20 minutes long and are written, directed and performed by Lawrence residents.
One of those local thespians is Carol Holstead, who has been an associate professor in the School of Journalism for the past 23 years. Holstead received her master's degree in theater. Three years ago, Holstead saw an ad for open-call auditions for a summer production with EMU and has since become a part of EMU's community theater.
"I really have fallen in love with this theater company and these
people," Holstead said.
Holstead performs as a nurse in "Best Medicine" for her fourth production with EMU. She believes that Horrorshow V1 offers an affordable theater-going experience that Kansas students will not want to miss out on.
"It's entertaining, it's funny, it's over in two hours." Holstead said.

"You can come at 7:30 and be entertained and still go out and have your night."
Horrorshow VI's final performances are Friday, Saturday, and next Wednesday. Admission is $6, and curtains open at 7:30 p.m.

As we all know, Halloween for college students is no longer about trick-or-treating. Alcohol replaces candy, and it's now just another excuse for us to be crazy college students.
Being from Arizona, the land of ultimate slutty costumes, I came to Kansas last year completely clueless to the funny and creative approach people were taking with their Halloween attire. Did this mean I no longer had to trudge down the promiscuous path of costumes each year? I was thrilled.
But sadly, I didn't catch the memo in time. It was all too late, as I had already purchased my overpriced "Astro-naughty" costume, and of course it was final sale. I hope my tragic story can save a few freshmen (or transfer students) from making the same mistake this year.
Hatleyone 2012 is the year I will redeem myself. This year's costume is creative, fully-clothed, and has no slutty punch line to go along with it. I would tell you what it is, but then you'd all copy me. What's even better is that everything I need is already in my closet. As tiny as scandalous costumes are, they sure are expensive.
To avoid regret, scarring pictures
and wasting serious cash, please take my advice: Dress creatively, humorously and economically. Halloween gossip has included Honey Boo Boo, Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey from the notorious "Fifty Shades of Grey" novel, and Katniss Everdeen from Hunger Games as costume favorites for this year. I'm all for these fun options.
Steer clear of those costumes you see non-stop. Black cat anyone? I know it's easy, but we've seen it 100 times. If you're one of those cat-obsessed people who must opt for a feline outfit, at least go for a fashion-forward print, which would obviously be tiger right now. Cheerleader costumes as well as athletes also fall under the repetitive category.
My favorites from last year were three girls who dressed up in each of Kim Kardashian's three wedding dresses. Kardashian had announced her divorce that same day, so these girls had acted fast. Another favorite was the human Franzia guy. He even had a real box of Franzia inside his outfit to share with everyone. What a gracious human being.
These costumes will be hard to beat, but with my advice, I believe it can be done.

HOLY BOW WOW!
This Halloween, opt for a creative costume. Try to stay away from overdone costumes like vampires.

Something wicked this way comes. Thankfully, it's not another installment of "Friday the 13th" or "Saw." As Halloween approaches, horror fans are looking far and wide for a truly original tale to scare their socks off.
Hollywood hasn't been helping lately, regurgitating the same B-rated horror movies that incite laughter rather than fear. But if you still haven't found a haunting story to celebrate All Hallow's Eve, American Horror Story: Asylum on FX is sure to have you checking your closet for monsters again.
Asylum has revamped nearly everything from its previous season. Executive producer Ryan Murphy made it clear they are wasting no time getting viewers on the edge of their seats.
Taylor Irwin, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., is looking forward to the show's second season.
"I was initially really excited to see how and if they were going to tie the two seasons together even though they seemed so different," Irwin said.
The first episode, "Welcome to Briarcliff," welcomes back several previous cast members to a haunting tale of Nazis, aliens, serial killers and mad scientists.
Set in 1964, the story opens with a young man named Kit (Evan Peters) who is falsely accused of being the serial killer Bloody Face, and an overly curious newspaper reporter investigating the institution's shady practices. The reporter, Lana Winters (Sarah Paulson) does not get far before reaching a dead end — the asylum's iron-fisted overseer, Sister Jude (Jessica Lange).
Her devout Christian dominion keeps her underlings in line but does not seem to deter Dr. Arthur Cromwell (James Cromwell) from
his unnatural patient experimentation, making their relationship a destructive force within the institution. "Mental illness is the fashionable explanation for sin," Sister Jude urges.
The story's new direction has captivated fans of AHS, breaking nearly all records established by the first season. The premiere impressively drew 3.8 million viewers. "I ended up really liking the premiere, especially because they used several of same actors to play different characters," Irwin said.
Beginning at such a breakneck speed ensures there will be enough conspiracy, violence and insanity to captivate horror enthusiasts every Wednesday night.

MOVIE
EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
Dystopian future combines with character metamorphose
Tom Hanks and Halle Berry play multiple characters in the sci-fi epic "Cloud Atlas." The movie opens Friday
LANDON MCDONALD
lmcdonald@kansan.com
THE LAST OF THE WORLD
"Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future."
"Cloud Atlas" is a film driven by an ambition that borders on euphoria, a sprawling sci-fi sextet that bridges the gap between science and spiritualism by exalting the divine sparkplug that is the human heart. The subject of the movie, co-directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski ("The Matrix" trilogy) and Tom Tykwer ("Run Lola Run"), is nothing less than the nature of existence itself, following the karmic trajectory of several souls as they embark on a centuries-spanning waltz of life, death and rebirth.
As the cycle turns inward, a killer is redeemed, lovers are betrayed and cyberpunk revolution is waged. This is audacious, grand-scale cinema on the level of "Inception" and last year's brilliant, similarly divisive "Tree of Life."
Based on David Mitchell's acclaimed 2004 novel, "Cloud Atlas" encompasses six main narratives, each strung together like a chain of cosmic pearls, where every actor appears in a multiplicity of roles that transverse the boundaries of language, race and gender. For example, Halle Berry plays everyone from a Jewish socialite to a male surgeon from South Korea.
The first story concerns the diary of a notyart (Jim Sturgess) who's fighting a terrible illness while sailing home from a 19th-century slave colony in the South Pacific. Another segment involves impoverished musician Robert Frobisher (Ben Wishaw),
who leaves his longtime boyfriend (James D'Arcy) to become the amanuensis of a famed Belgian composer (Jim Broadbent).
From there the movie turns into a more traditional sci-fi, casting its gaze to the far-flung future where a dystopian revolution is being orchestrated by Sonmi-451 (Doona Bae), a genetically engineered "fabricant" waitress turned nascent social prophet. The outcome of her Neo Seoul uprising leads to a stopover in post-apocalyptic Hawaii, where Hanks plays a humble goatherd whose tribe is visited by a beautiful emissary (also played by Berry) from a technologically advanced civilization.
MCGIATCHY TRIBUNE
If you feel like you should be taking notes, it's not a bad idea. "Cloud Atlas" is the kind of movie that could easily dissolve into a pretentious migraine if it made the mistake of being too overwrought
or self-serious. Thankfully the film manages to balance its weightier themes with moments of bracing humor, especially during a comic interlude where Broadbent, playing an adable-brained literary agent, is tricked into a nursing home by his brother. This section, which combines elements of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "The Great Escape," also features the unforgettable sight of Hugo Weaving essentially playing Nurse Ratched in drag.
Although the makeup quality varies from transformative to ridiculous, the performances in "Cloud Atlas" are uniformly excellent. Berry and Hanks fare the best, never letting their star power outshine the characters they embody. Hugh Grant, an actor whose appeal escaped me for years, also impresses in roles ranging from a smarmy power plant owner to a bloodthirsty cannibal chieftain. Broadbent is the film's trump card, an actor who can shift from pompous to befuddled at the drop of a hat.
"Cloud Atlas" represents a return to a kind of filmmaking long ignored by Hollywood: the spectacle of substance. The Wachowskis and Tykwer reportedly raised the bulk of the $100 million budget themselves, making the film the most expensive independent production of all time. In an ideal world, audiences experiencing blockbuster malaise would be flocking in droves to see this. Creative independence comes at a heavy price these days, and efforts like this should be rewarded. This is a singular cinematic achievement, one that will be enjoyed and analyzed for years to come.

'Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City'a genre triumph
★★★★
DUNCAN MCHENRY
dmchenry@kansan.com
Attention all naysayers who still think "rap music" is an oxymoron: Kendrick Lamar would like a word with you.
Lamar's major label debut album,
"Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City," is a remarkable combination of hip-hop storytelling and hard-hitting West Coast beats. With hit wizard Dr. Dre often at the production hum, Lamar is the Bob Dylan of
the streets. His songwriting guides listeners on a vivid tour of the Compton, Calif., neighborhood of his youth, in which Nintendo and orange soda exist alongside 9 mm pistols and prostitutes.
Not since the earlier days of Outkast has a hip-hop artist managed to fuze the bolder, "gangsta" side of rap with socially cognizant lyricism so successfully. Talented encees such as Common and Talib Kweli have never quite managed to escape from the "conscious rapper"
stereotype — a term with somewhat negative connotations in the rap world.
But Lamar has sidestepped that label with "Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City" and proved himself worthy of the hype spurred on by two pre-released singles. "Swimming Pools (Drank)" is a party jam that practically dares the neighbors to call in a noise complaint and showcases the tonal range of Lamar's voice as he personifies an internal warning from his vodka-drowned
conscience.
The voices of Lamar's family and friends are a constant presence in skirts at the end of each song, adding further continuity to the narrative about growing up in urban Los Angeles. In a way, the entire album is a brilliant character act as he shifts effortlessly from confused youth to desperate delinquent to confident rap star.
MUSIC BY MJ BENNETT
Kendrick Lamar, an upcoming rap artist, will release his first album, "Good Kid, m A D A city" on Oct. 22 on Dr. Dre's label, Aftermath Entertainment.

On the song "M.A.A.D. City", he convincingly plays the role of a killer, exuding gangster menace in his voice, whereas "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst" is really a thoughtful prayer for lost souls in the city. Lamar raps, "Channel 9 / Cameras looking / It's hard to channel your energy when you know you're crooked."
The album isn't all work and no play, as evident in "The Recipe," which is a syncopated tribute to the famous "Women, weed and weather" of California. In fact, the
production team's biggest mistake may have been pushing this meticulously arranged track to the album's deluxe version.
"Good Kid, M.A.A.D City" is more than just a collection of rap songs. It's a triumphant, roughed story of an ordinary city
kid's rise to his rightful place in the hip-hop pantheon.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is an 8

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 7
Be super productive at work now so that you have more time to play later. It's important to follow the protocol, even as you add your personal touch.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 7

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is a 5
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 5
You're full of wild and crazy ideas, and some of them might work, but when it comes to romance, not right this second. Present your thoughts with compassion.
Postpone a romantic moment, for just a little bit. Let somebody else take care of you for the next two days. Learn to take risks from interesting people. Music enhances mental focus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 7
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 5
You solve the problem. Amazing ideas come to you, even in your sleep. Write them down so you won't forget. Chores take priority. Draw upon hidden resources.
OCTOBER 27
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 6
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 5
Consider only brilliant suggestions. Don't be stopped by nonsense considerations, only by those that your intuition can trust. Think about things until you're sure.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6
Open your eyes for new opportunities that are in front of you but that you may just miss. Swallow your pride to avoid an argument. You have more important things to do.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 6
Make room for greatness by getting rid of bad, bad habits or junk. Let intuition guide your decision. Conditions are a bit unstable, so hold on to a handrail or some sturdy.
Toss irrelevant junk. Do you really need the clutter? Creativity is required to manage an error at work.
Figure out what you're doing that works and doesn't.
You deliver a surprise, and it's mostly well received. Don't sweat the small stuff, you can't always please everyone. Don't alienate a loved one though.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 5
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)
Today is a 7
A creative spark ignites a series of positive results. There's no need to brag. Others know your value. Listen to an unexpected suggestion. Keep costs low ... money isn't everything.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7
Continue your investigation. Add some play and get the answer when you least expect it. Definitely watch out for hidden agendas. The truth is revealed.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 5
Welcome an unexpected assignment. Your oar is deep into emotional seas. Reassess the situation to gain insight into your partner's desires. Avoid aggression.
OCTOBER 28
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8
Surprise everyone by keeping a clear mind in the middle of the fog. But don't do everything yourself. A brilliant solution appears with a friend.
Love gets rekindled. For four weeks, rely on a supportive partner. Be a loving support right back. Practicing can be fun and rewarding. Flex your optimism.

Hours and endless hot glue sticks have gone into the costume crafting, and now it's time to show them off. Today marks the beginning of my self-proclaimed national holiday "Halloween," a weeklong celebration of scares, sexy (male and female) costumes and many late nights. Unfortunately the University does not recognize this glorious celebration, so classes are still in session and that means some serious time management.
I imagine that even if most of the student populous isn't wearing costumes every day, there will still be many of us enjoying the nightlife more than once this week. So, in a break from my usual format, here are some tips on how to make the most of your Halloween while still remaining a useful member of society.
PLAN IT OUT
I know I usually offer some insight into things going on around town, but it's Halloween, so look any direction and you'll find something to do. This being said, if you plan on going out weeknights (like tonight) and have an early class the next day (like I do), then you're going to want to prepare for the rough morning. First off, know where you're going. I know there's a lot of fun to aimlessly adventuring through the night, seeing where it
takes you, but this will be a long week, so pick a place early. This will makes carpools/SafeRide pick-ups easier to schedule and will keep you from walking home at 4 a.m. That's what weekends are for, kids.
I'm not your mummy, but just because you want to go out every night this week doesn't mean your teachers are going to stop assigning things, so make sure all your schoolwork gets done early. Don't say you'll do it when you get home or you'll wake up early to do it, because you're lying to yourself. After a long night in a costume, you'll crash hard.
IT'S A MARATHON, NOT A RACE
DO YOUR HOMEWORK EARLY
Halloween will offer a long list of fun events all week long, but make sure to keep up with your classes. Whether you're finishing an essay or your costume, make time to get everything done before you head out into the night.
Sure we've all had some long weekends before, but as with most holidays we tend to go the extra mile for fun, and Halloweek is sure to leave you worn out. So don't try
and pique early. Have fun tonight,
but take it easy and keep building up throughout the week. A night of the living can easily turn into a day of the dead if you go too hard.
Every bar in town will have some sort of Halloween party, costume contest or delightfully dreadful drink special, but instead of heading to the usual spots, break free and go somewhere you've never been. Tonic, The Hawk and Brothers are going to be busier than ever, and if you've put some effort into an awesome costume (like a cardboard Iron Man suit I plan on wearing Friday night) bumping into hundreds of people and barely being able to breathe isn't going to do well for you or your costume.

More than anything, though,
just have fun this week and be safe.
'Halloweek'has arrived, and Derryberry offers tips for making the most of the spooky week's festivities.

Pauly-Bear. My mom has called me that since I was very little, and she still does it in public. It's very embarrassing. It sort of stuck, and now my friends call me that, too.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GIRL?
Red, just because it's always been my favorite color. My brother and me are pretty close and his favorite color is blue, so we are red and blue for KU!
Girl: Wait, OK, is it a 'lab-top' or a 'lap-top'? Like 'lap?' or 'ob'?
WHAT IS THE CUTEST THING YOU'VE DONE FOR A GIRL?
She has to know how to have a good time and know how to carry on a conversation, I like a girl who can crack jokes and laugh at my jokes, as silly as they may be sometimes.
DO YOU HAVE ANY NICKNAMES AND WHY?
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PET PEEVE?
People are on their phone 24/7. I can't stand that, because if you are hanging out with somebody then, you know, just hang out with them.
One time I made up a song and sang it to a girl in front of everyone, hoping she would date me. She didn't, but she thought it was cute!
Once a year it's OK for everyone to stay out late, dress up funny and act like kids again, so make the most of the holiday. I've got a week's worth of costumes ready, my plans nailed
I feel like I'm a nice guy, I believe in chivalry. Not too many guys are nice these days, I try to open a door for a lady when I can and bring her flowers, I like to do things like that.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS YOUR BEST QUALITY?

MUSIC
Taylor Swift shows maturity with latest album
MEGAN HINMAN
mhinman@kansan.com
Taylor Swift began as a 16-year-old country singer songwriter with big, curly hair. Six years later, she has sleek, straight hair, and she isn't singing much country music. She has steadily moved from country to pop, and her newest album, "Red," which was released Monday, is no exception. And while it may seem obvious that her music would mature as she did, many have questioned if she was actually maturing at all.
"Red" has quieted those questions. She has certainly matured and has done so quite pleasantly, unless you want the country
cutite back. With lyrics like, "A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be" on "I Knew You Were Trouble," she broaches a subject from which she
has previously
shied away: sex.
Swift mentions
"nights when
you made me
your own"
on the
detail-oriented
"All Too Well",
and
a prevalent theme
RIO
of the album is her many intimate moments with a guy.
"Red'
With her new-found maturity, she has also discovered other genres, like dubstep on "I Knew You Were Trouble." The album
only has a hint of her twangy roots on one song, "Stay Stay Stay", which also seems to be the most juvenile. The title track begins with a simple banjo similar to her Grammy-winning song "Mean" from her third album, "Speak Now," but the song "Red" soon becomes another pop song about a rough breakup, following suit with most of the rest of the album. It's one of the album's lower points, mixing genres and including less-than-perfect metaphors in the lyrics, like the line, "Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer," which doesn't actually happen. Like, eve
Swift's first of five pre-released singles from the album, "We Are
Never Ever Getting Back Together," which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, have been what caused critics to think she was having issues maturing. But the sarcastic, adolescent vibe seems to be more poking fun at her presumed immaturity with its lyrics than serious about how much she really hates that ex-boyfriend (rumored to be Jake Gyllenhaal) she keeps dating.
Swift teamed up with song-writing-supers Max Martin and Shellback for this album, in contrast to "Speak Now," which she wrote completely alone. This album also features two duets, one with Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol and one with Ed Sheeran, an upcoming
British singer-songwriter.
Swift said she wanted to step out of her comfort zone for this album, and she did that excellently, bringing her ever-adoring fans along with her. The lyric "We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way/It's miserable and magical" on the dance anthem "22" sums up the entire album. "Red" is a whirlwind of emotions, and it's the stepping stone Swift needed into adulthood.

THE UNIVERSITY DAHY KANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY Jayhawks loaded for another run
10
Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Kansas has reached back-to-back Final Fours twice in its history. First in 1952 and 1953 and again in 2002 and 2003.
But unlike many Final Four teams, the Jayhawks return a solid nucleus this season.
If they can complete the feat for a third time and make their way to Atlanta in April, here's how they'll do it:
1. If Elijah Johnson plays like he did down the stretch last season.
Johnson averaged 10.2 ppg last year but was hot late in the season. The junior guard finished with double figures in each of the last eight games which averaged out to 15.1 points in that stretch. His clutch three-pointer and two steals against Purdue saved Kansas from an early exit. Now with Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson in the NBA, Johnson will need to play like that consistently with less "off" games.
2. If Jeff Withey makes "The Jump". Kansas big men have been making "The Jump" for some time now. Cole Aldrich went from 2.8 ppg his freshman year to 14.9 ppg as a sophomore. Markieff Morris jumped from 6.8 to 13.6 ppg between his sophomore and junior year, and in that same time, his brother Marcus leaped from 12.8 to 17.2 ppg. Filling in for the guy behind them has been one of the main fixtures in Kansas' eight straight conference titles. Bill Self called it "bridging the gap." With a number of freshman on this year's roster, Withey will have to bridge the gap if this team wants to continue the streak and play in April.
Ellis, a McDonald's High School All-American, could start most of the season at the four spot. I wouldn't be shocked if senior Kevin Young begins the year in the starting lineup but Ellis could take over early on. He's talented enough but it's just a matter of getting used to playing in Self's system. White is a sharpshooter who will get plenty of minutes if his jumper is falling.
3. Speaking of freshmen, former Marquette coach Al McGuire once said: "The best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores." But if those high expectations are to be met, at least a few of the five true freshman will need to contribute immediately. I'd put my money on Perry Ellis and Andrew White.
4. Redshirt freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor don't play like freshman. With a year around the program and a semester of practices under their belts, McLemore and Traylor have more expectations than the average redshirt freshman. McLemore will start on the wing and is projected to be a first round pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. Traylor went up against Thomas Robinson every day in practice second semester and Self said he held his own three out of five days, the other two going to Robinson. A 60 percent success rate against a top-5 NBA pick isn't bad, and Traylor should supply more depth in the post behind Withey and create a nice battle for the fifth starting spot with Ellis.

ON THE DEFENSIVE
Javhawks using individual workouts to improve defense at every position
BLAKE SCHUSTER
hschuster@kansan.com
There couldn't have been a worse time for the Kansas defense's worst game. Starting out the murderer's row of Big 12 play with a 52-7 against Oklahoma only added to the notion that football fans were watching the same Kansas team from the last few years.
But the defense that got torn apart by the Sooners isn't an accurate representation of the 2012 Jayhawks. The team that held TCU and Oklahoma State to 20 points is needed to find what it lost against Oklahoma.
They had to get their swagger back.
"That's what we do on Sunday," head coach Charlie Weis said of pumping his team up. "They have to be ready to move on, and
usually by practicing on Sunday that really takes care of the majority of the problems."
The Sunday practice has been a hot topic recently. After losing to Kansas State, Weis held a scrimmage the next day without any seniors, sparking chatter that he was no longer focused on them.
Yet it was the complete opposite two weeks later. In fact, defensive coordinator Dave Campo told Weis that he did more coaching last Sunday than at any other point this season.
Weis gave Campo 45 minutes to work individually with his players and in the little amount of time, large steps were taken. Campo set to work on the basics of the game with each player, breaking down further and further how they could improve.
"It's all the sudden, 'Whoa, I
understand what he's talking about," Campo said of his players on Sunday. "From that standpoint it is confidence. Some of those guys reverted back to a lot of stuff they did in high school because they don't have the experience to take the technique from the practice field to the game."
Campo admitted that much of Sunday's work was to prepare for the future even though Kansas still ran on a "win now" mentality. But the individual sessions had one resounding effect — slowly the confidence that was present after playing Oklahoma State began reemerging.
"It was crucial," senior defensive end Toben Opurum said. "We needed that practice to move forward. Watching film, dwelling on the past, it hurt a lot of the guys. A lot of guys felt like they got
fundamentally better, and that's what we needed."
Senior defensive lineman Josh Williams said the Oklahoma game was bad across the board, but he wouldn't let it take away from what the Jayhawks accomplished against the Cowboys.
For Williams, not all hope was lost after giving up 38 points in the first half to the Sooners. Too much of the season was still ahead.
"We built some momentum at the end of the Oklahoma State game," Williams said. "To go and have a tough loss like that, I wouldn't say we lost it; we just have to regroup and refocus and continue to move forward."
Of course one Sunday can't fix all of Kansas' problems. Campo said the improvements in practice are baby steps on a much longer road. It's what the practice did for
the team mentally that may be the biggest triumph.
The defensive showing against Oklahoma is hardly on track with what the Jayhawks have been doing this year. A shot at Texas — in Lawrence and on Homecoming
— provides just the stage to prove it.
Williams and Opurum agreed the baby steps and confidence boosters were helpful but not the final solution — at least not after getting wiped by Oklahoma.
"A game like that puts a bad taste in your mouth and bad blood in you," Williams said. "The only thing to wipe away a game like that is winning a game."

Jayhawks fall to stout Cyclones squad
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
The Kansas Jayhawks fended off seven match points Wednesday night at Iowa State, but their inability to hold leads eventually cost them in a 3-1 loss.
Trailing the match 2-1, Kansas used five blocks to grab an 18-14 lead in the fourth set. The Cyclones had swept the Jayhawks in Ames every year since Kansas won 3-2 in 2004, but the Jayhawks looked like they might be about to push the match to five sets and maybe steal another 3-2 victory.
Then Iowa State won the next seven points to go up 21-19 and take control of the match for good.
"They get hot offensively and they can transition you, they can side you out, they can do a lot of different things," coach Ray Beckard said. "We got in our own way sometimes, but let's give credit to a team that played well."
Leading 24-22, Iowa State outside hitter Victoria Hurt committed an attack error that kept Kansas alive for at least one more point.
However, Hurtt atoned for her error on the next point, ending the set with a kill and giving the Cyclones a 3-1 victory. The loss dropped Kansas to 19-4 on the season and 7-2 in Big 12 play.
The Jayhawks blew an even bigger lead in the third set, and it nearly cost them the match then.
After coming out flat at the beginning of the first two sets, Kansas stormed to a 14-6 lead in the third set behind four kills by junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc and three by freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery. After Iowa State closed the gap to 14-10, Kansas responded with a 4-1 run to push its lead to seven points.
But then Iowa State showed why they are so tough to beat at home. The Cyclones went on a 13-3 run that included six straight kills to take a 24-21 lead and grab match point. With all of their momentum zapped, Kansas had every reason to fold.
Instead of wilting, however, Kansas won the next three points to tie the set at 24. Iowa State grabbed leads of 25-24, 26-25 and 27-26.
but Kansas fought off match point each time. Kansas used a kill and an Iowa State attack error to win the set, 29-27.
"I think they just got us a little out of rhythm and kind of flustered," junior setter Erin McNorton said. "Then again, I think we're really good at staying calm when that does happen. They went in once they got the ball back, and again we had a big block."
The Jayhawks committed 29 attack errors, including nine in the second set, and hit .147 for the match compared to Iowa State's .168. However, Kansas outblocked the Cyclone 14-8, which kept Kansas in every set, especially the third. Sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers staved off two match points in the third set by blocking two Iowa State attacks.
Kansas may not have needed such desperate play in the third and fourth sets if they didn't have such slow starts in the first two sets. Iowa State broke open the first set with a 5-0 run that gave them a 10-5 advantage, and they began the second set with a 10-4 run.
The Jayhawks eventually tied both sets, and even led the second set briefly, but couldn't avoid committing crucial errors that kept them from grabbing a comfortable lead. Iowa State earned five service aces in the first set, and the Jayhawks committed nine attack errors in the second set.
"It all starts with first contact, and that was a large part of the struggle," jarmoc said. "They're really good at targeting somebody and constantly driving at them."
Bechard said the way Kansas started the first two sets was what upset him the most.
Edited by Sarah McCabe
The Jayhawks are off until Monday, when they host West Virginia at home at 6:30 p.m.
"The disappointing part of it was the starts we got out to in both the first two sets," Bechard said. "They had five service aces in the first set and seven for the match, so that tells you they just came out smoking with the serve.

THE MORNING BREW Kansas City wants relevance on the NFL stage again
For 18 long years, the Kansas Chiefs have failed to win a playoff game. Despite this, Chiefs fans have long been considered some of the best in the NFL.
Under GM Scott Pioli and owner Clark Hunt, the Chiefs franchise has changed. I can't quite tell you when it happened, but this current management has changed my view on the Chiefs. Pioli and Hunt have an arrogance about themselves that has isolated the fans from the team.
By Andrew Morris
amorris@kansan.com
The frustration of fans is hogging the radio, written about in the papers and is seen at Arrowhead Stadium. Arrowhead, which the Chiefs have dubbed "the loudest stadium in the NFL," is no longer a scary proposition for opposing teams. The atmosphere has changed since Pioli joined the Chiefs in 2009, and bad decisions are constantly being made.
Kansas City currently has over $20 million in unused salary cap space. This is concerning for fans, especially when the team let Brandon Carr leave for more money in Dallas. Carr, 26, is a very good NFL cornerback with his best years ahead.
In addition to the departure of Carr is the looming exit of Dwayne Bowe. The Chiefs best wide receiver is reportedly wanting out*
and will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. Pioli failed to reach a deal with Bowe on a long-term contract during the summer and instead placed the franchise tag on him. The team selected the cheapest option and now are all but guaranteed to lose Bowe to free agency.
In addition to these recent errors, Pioli started his reign by drafting Tyson Jackson with the third overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft and signing Matt Cassel to a $63 million contract through 2014. Jackson has steadily improved as a defensive end, collecting a career high of 55 tackles in 2011. He was a huge reach when we drafted him and has never
played up to the level of a top pick.
This is where we come to Matt Cassel. The quarterback played well in New England when replacing an injured Tom Brady in 2008, and that's when Pioli brought Cassel with him to Kansas City. During his time in Kansas City, Cassel is 19-25 with one division title. In 2010, Cassel threw 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions under the guidance of current Kansas coach Charlie Weis, who was the Chiefs offensive coordinator. In the three other seasons as the Chiefs signal caller, Cassel has thrown three more interceptions than touchdowns. The recent demotion of Cassel in favor of Brady Quinn means the team will likely need to draft a quarterback for the first time since 1985.
KU
Cassel is often one of the biggest issues with Pioli and the Chiefs organization. This was no more evident than when Chiefs fans cheered the entry of Brady Quinn into the game while Cassel remained injured on the field. However, Brady Quinn is not the answer, and his first game against Tampa Bay proved it.
The 2011 season saw the Chiefs lose key players to injury and exposing the lack of depth in the roster. The lack of depth is primarily through poor drafts during Pioli's tenure as GM. In the 2012 NFL Draft, the Chiefs selected defensive tackle Dontari Poe. The Memphis player had an incredible NFL combine, vaulting his draft status despite the lack of performance on the field in college.
These issues have led to the deterioration of the relationship between the fans and the team. Pioli is at a pivotal point with the fans and needs to rethink how the team is run before the fans desert the Chiefs.

Harrington victorious at Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda
SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda — Padraig Harrington is a winner for the first time in two years, even if the PGA Grand Slam of Golf was only an exhibition.
Four days after Harrington agreed to fill in for British Open champion Ernie Els, he ran off three straight birdies on the back nine and closed with a 4-under 67
Wednesday for a one-shot win over U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson at Port Royal.
Harrington, a three-time major champion, lost in playoffs at the PGA Grand Slam in 2007 and 2008. He wound up winning on his third try as an alternate in the 36-hole event for the season's major champions.
His last official win was the Johor Open on the Asian Tour in late 2010.
"I think we haven't had a win in a long time and I've got to tell you, they don't come around anywhere near as often as you believe they come around," said Harrington, who finished on 9-under 133 and earned $60,000. "And when you win, you make sure you enjoy it. And it was unfinished business for me, having lost in two playoffs. It was nice to come back and win it now. Yeah, it feels good. I haven't won in
a while, so you know, it's nice. Winning is a habit and it's nice to do it."
Harrington agreed last Saturday to replace Els, who has a minor ankle injury. The Irishman had been scheduled to play the BMW Masters in Shanghai this week. He became only the second European to win this event, joining Ian Woosnam in 1991.
Simpson lost ground after the turn and
never caught up, despite a bogey-free 65 that left him one shot behind.
Masters champion Bubba Watson, whose four birdies were offset by two bogey and a double bogey, had a 71. He tied for third — or tied for last, considering it was only a four-man field — with Keegan Bradley, who had a 57. Bradley replaced PGA champion Rory McIlroy, who is playing in Shanghai.

New dynamic for Hawks
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Practice can only teach you so much, senior Angel Goodrich said Wednesday before she did just that — practice.
Don't get the wrong idea, despite sharing the same number as Allen Iverson, Goodrich was not trying to downplay the value of practice as the former NBA point guard once famously did. What she meant was that you don't really know where you are at as a team until you get into game situations.
Sunday at 2 p.m. the layhaws will be in a game situation for the first time this season in the exhibition against Washburn at Allen Fieldhouse.
said the focus will be to explore what the team has and determine which rotations of players play well together.
Aishah Sutherland is the only player from last year's Sweet 16 team who is not returning, so Coach Bonnie Henrickson should at least have an idea which players will be on the court together.
On media day, Henrickson hinted that senior Carolyn Davis and sophomore Chelsea Gardner, both post-players, will be playing on the court together this season. Henrickson said she does not typically play two post-players on the court at the same time, but because both players have the ability to score, they can play together.
have to be willing to give the shooters more room on the outside in order to cover the post.
One major difference the team faces without Sutherland this year is another source for rebounds. Engelman said that is something that the team will need to improve on as a group.
"We lost a lot with Aishah as far as rebounding. Engelman said. "She was a beast on the boards. It's always been a main focus with us to go to the boards but I think even more so with the little gap that she leaves."
Along with rebounding, Engelman and Goodrich both mentioned that defense has been a focus in practice. Last season opponents averaged just over 63 points per game against the Jayhawks while making 45.5 percent of their shots.

After splitting results this past weekend, Kansas only has one match remaining in the regular season before playing in the Big 12 tournament.
The Jayhawks started the weekend out strong, dominating the Cyclones of Iowa State 4-1 Friday. Four different players found the net, while three different players earned assists. Kansas had 18 shots on goal, placing eight on target compared to the Cyclones' four.
Kansas' first goal came from freshman forward Courtney Dickerson after she received a pass from senior midfielder Amy Grow. The Jayhawks did not reluctent for the rest of the match, as Kansas would score three more goals. Junior forward/midfielder Caroline Kastor gave the Jayhawks their second goal in the first half, set up by senior midfielder Sara Robbins.
The Jayhawks kept up the momentum going into the second half, scoring quickly in the 51st minute. Senior forward midfielder Whitney Berry converted her second penalty kick of the season. Senior forward Nicole Christopulos capitalized off a pass from Berry later in the half, scoring Kansas' final goal, giving Christopulos her first goal of the year.
Kansas' defense stayed stout throughout the match with senior
goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau collecting three saves by the end of the game.
On Sunday, Kansas faced an evenly-matched Texas Tech squad and played on its level — both teams took 16 shots — yet was unlucky as the Red Raiders pushed through late in the second half to win 3-1, dropping the Jayhawks to 9-7 on the season and 3-5 in conference.
Dickerson provided the lone goal for Kansas, scoring her fourth goal of the season early in the match. Kansas would not be lucky enough to find the back of the net again, despite numerous close chances and a controversial non-goal call by the referees. Liebertrau had five
saves, bringing her total to 29 this season.
"We played really well both games," head coach Mark Francis said.
Kansas hosts the Northern
Francis
Colorado Bears tomorrow for the last match of the season, where Kansas will honor the seniors for their hard work and dedication. The Bears, part of the Big Sky conference, are 6-6-5 on the year and 4-2-3 in conference play. They are recently coming off a tie that went into double overtime against Weber State.
Despite being a team that struggles on the road — it holds a 1-3-3 record away from its home pitch — the Bears are a team that can't be written off lightly. Northern Colorado has 20 goals on the year, 10 short of the Jayhawks' 30 and averages 13 shots per game.
The Bears are led by junior forward Brittany Dunn, who has four goals this year. The Bears have struggled this season with converting their opportunities into goals, something that has also appeared to loom over Kansas a few times this season. After ending conference play with a tie, the Bears will come to Lawrence hungry to end the season with a win.
The Jayhawks are led by powerhouse Kastor, who has 10 goals this year. Kastor is followed by freshman forward Ashlev Williams, who has seven, and Berry, who has five. The scoring machines of Kansas will have to get past the Bears' senior goalkeeper Natalie D'Adamio, who has five shutouts this year and an impressive total of 77 saves this season, in order to secure a victory.
"We just gotta keep doing the things we've been doing." Francis said. "We just gotta fine-tune the little things."
Kansas hosts Northern Colorado at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex Friday at 3 p.m.

BAYLOR BEARS
BAYLOR 3-3 (0-3) AT IOWA STATE 4-3 (1-3)
STATE
Baylor and Iowa State are going into Week 9 desperate for a win. Baylor has lost its last three games and is still seeking its first conference game, while Iowa State has lost three of its last four matches.
seeking his first conference game with Baylor quarterback Nick Florence showed off some of his rushing abilities last week against Texas when he ran for 69 yards and a pair of touchdowns. If Iowa State's defense is not ready, Florence may try a mix of pass and run against the Cyclones this week. He knows he still has Terrance Williams at wide receiver, who has caught nine touchdowns and leads the nation in receiving yards with 1,013.
caught nine touchdowns and leads the nation in receiving yards. Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads is not happy with his quarterbacks. The Cyclones are a quiet team offensively and haven't accomplished much against conference opponents.
Baylor wins, 34-27
If Baylor's defense successfully applies pressure to Steele Jantz or Jared Barnett, depending on who starts for Iowa State, then Baylor should come out on top and pick up its long-overdue conference win.

0)
Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein both came off the game of their careers as they each accounted for seven touchdowns last week.
Klein, who is the reigning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, will be confronted by a stout defense. Despite the challenge, Klein showed before what he is capable of. He will struggle at times, but manage to pull Kansas State on top.
The Red Raiders have climbed their way up in the rankings this season and hold an impressive 6-1 record. Doege will have to lead Texas Tech to a tough environment in an attempt to stun Kansas State and create a tie for first place in the conference. Doege's top target in the end zone is Eric Ward and the two will look to connect again this Saturday in Manhattan.
Defensively, Kansas State will limit Texas Tech because of linebacker Arthur Brown, who is the reigning Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

TEXAS CHRISTIAN 5-2 (2-2)
AT OKLAHOMA STATE 4-2 (2-1)
Texas Christian is coming off a tough loss while Oklahoma State looks to extend its winning streak and avoid the .500 conference record.
TCU coach Gary Patterson likes what he is seeing from quarterback Trevoone Boykin as he is more contented and relaxed as a starter. He's taken advantage of working with receivers Brandon Carter, Josh Boyce, Skye Dawson and LaDarius Brown.
Oklahoma State has a lot of receivers who can help out quarterback J.W. Walsh, but the Cowboys will lean on running back Joseph Randle. Randle has 765 yards and eight touchdowns on the year. But their passing game may have issues against TCU's defense.
TCU's racked up 11 sacks in the conference. Oklahoma State's offensive line has played well this year, but will need to play its best game against TCU. If defensive end Devonte Fields and defensive tackle Davion Pierson beat the Cowboys offensive line, the Horned Frogs could leave Stillwater with a win.
TCU wins, 31-21

The atmosphere in Norman will be electric Saturday night when two powerhouse programs collide.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly announced on Tuesday that sopho- more quarterback Everett Golson will start. Golson missed last week's game because of a concussion, but is ready to return and lead his team this week.
Notre Dame's has a resilient rushing trio in Theo Riddick; Cierre Wood and George Atkinson III. Oklahoma's run-stopping defense has played well limited its opponents in scoring.
But Notre Dame has restricted its opponents from scoring as well. The Fighting Irish have not allowed more than 17 points in a game this season, making Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones' job more difficult.
With Notre Dame scoring more than 20 points only twice this season, the Sooners should outlast the Fighting Irish in four grueling quarters.
Oklahoma wins, 14-10

CROSS COUNTRY
Perseverance pays off after multiple injuries
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
The will to succeed is greater than the fear of failing.
You hear that saying all the time when it comes to athletes. Their heart and drive allows them to continue to fight through any obstacles that get in their way. Whether it's a thrashing by an opponent, possible cut from the team or injuries, athletes usually have the will to get over that barrier.
Jayhawks' junior Natalie Becker is no different. She has dealt with injuries every year she's been at the University, including this year.
But this year was different for Becker than in years past because there was speculation on whether she would be a part of the cross country team. Once she found out there was a possibility she might not be on the team, her will to succeed fought its way forward.
"Confidence comes out, and I know I want to compete. It'd be easy to say that I'm done and that
I don't want to do this anymore," Becker said. "The want to compete has driven me."
During the summer, Becker found out she had a stress fracture in her foot that was going to cause her to miss training time, and potentially the whole season.
The injury frustrated Becker, but she wasn't ready to give up.
"There was no doubt in my mind that I'd be back," she said.
Then another setback came when the MRI showed inflammation, which could sideline her for a few more weeks.
"When I found out that all my injuries were delayed, I felt that all my hard work had been for nothing." Becker said. "But then I just told myself that, yeah, I can still come back."
Assistant coach Michael Whittlesey said Becker has shown great commitment and perseverance through everything and has had to answer very tough questions within herself.
"A lot of times when you go
through what she has gone through, you start to question how much you want it," Whittlesey said. "You have to answer that because you have to work that much harder and stay that much more focused than everyone else."
through the months that Becker has been training and trying to get back to full health, Whittlesey said he could see the determination within Becker become real once more.
"You could see that spark back in her eyes that said, 'Yeah, I still have it.'" Whittlesey said. "It's the fire that's within her pushing to her to get back."
Becker said she has learned a lot while being faced with injuries and had the realization that cross country might not be there tomorrow.
"I don't take any workout for granted," Becker said. "I know it could be taken away just like that because it has happened before."

OFFENSE
Michael Cummings might be able to rest easy knowing for certain that he's the Jayhawks' starting quarterback, but he can't be expected to turn around the offense by himself and certainly not in one week. The backfield of James Sims and Tony Pierson will be crucial against a Texas run defense ranked 107th in the nation.

ASHLEIGH LEE / KANSAN
Freshman quarterback Michael Cummings gets tackled during Saturday, Oct. 20's game against Oklahoma at the Gaylord Family- Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla. where the Jayhawks lost 7-52.
DEFENSE
Last week defensive coordinator Dave Campo said that his players were trying to take four steps forward for every two they took back. Against Texas we'll find out just how many steps have been taken and in which direction. The Longhorns are averaging 44 points per game, yet Kansas has — for the most part — played well against high-powered offenses this season.

MOMENTUM
For the second week in a row Kansas won the fourth quarter, but that might not be much help given that the lone score came near the end of a 45-point blowout. Any momentum will have to be created on the practice field this week.
AT A GLANCE
26 94 84
After getting stomped by Oklahoma the Jayhawks find themselves in a familiar situation. They are sitting in the cellar of the Big 12, but have a chance to improve greatly over the next few weeks. That mainly due to the competition Kansas will face. Three ranked teams — beginning with Texas — remain on the Jayhawks' schedule, and while Kansas isn't in the running for a championship this season, it certainly has a chance to play spoiler for the teams that are.
Now that Weis has solidified Cummings as his quarterback, his schemes will have a little more creativity. Last week Weis designed a quarterback-run option for the freshman to use if needed on most plays. It's certain there will be more of that given Cummings' mobility.
JOHN POWELL
COACHING
Weis
PLAYER TO WATCH
Weis said running back Tony Pierson was a little cautious in his first game back from an elbow injury that kept him out against Oklahoma State, yet he still had 67-yard in 14 carries versus the Sooners. With a weak rush defense coming to Lawrence, this may be the belated return game Kansas fans expected from the speedy back.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Fixing the Jayhawks' special teams is as vital as any other improvement being made. Kansas will continue to beat itself unless there is significant progress on the kickoff and punt coverage. A field goal kicker would be nice too, as coach Charlie Weis has noted for weeks now.
QUESTION MARKS
How will the Kansas defense respond after getting trounced by a strong Oklahoma offense?
The Jayhawks hadn't been knocked out of a game before halftime all year, how will that change the way Kansas plays in the first half? And can Michael Cummings be the quarterback that the Jayhawks desperately need?
Football
Will Wes find a way to work him into the game plan or have his playing days ended early?
No one is expecting the freshman to start for the next three years — not with Jake Heaps about to become eligible next year — so can he turn a few heads and start a battle for next season? And even more intriguing, what happens now to team captain Dayne Crist?
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
Kansas doesn't fall apart. Weis has preached that the Jayhawks will be more competitive this year — and by all means they have been — but we've seen just how bad a season can get in the everlasting second half. Simply put, this team is desperate for a win and those odds only worsen with each loss.

OFFENSE
Quarterback David Ash has a lot of lethal weapons on offense. He's distributed the ball well to his receivers: Jaxon Shipley has caught 268 yards and four touchdown passes on the year. Another key receiver Ash has on board is Mike Davis, who has 30 catches for 500 yards and four touchdowns on the season. Although running back Joe Bergeron has rushed for only two 100-yard games, he can find a way to punch it in the end zone and give Texas the upper hand on the scoreboard. An area where the Longhorns may struggle when visiting the Jayhawks is when they have the ball in the red zone. The Jayhawks are ranked second in the conference in red zone defense and could complicate things for the Longhorns offense.

DEFENSE
Texas' defense is led by defensive end Alex Okafer, who has won the team's "Defensive Player of the Game" award three times this season. Okafer has 4.5 sacks in conference play. Texas has collected 13 sacks in its four conference games, while Kansas has allowed 13 sacks in its four Big 12 contests. The Longhorns know they will have to be quick on applying pressure on Michael Cummings because he is a more mobile quarterback. Texas has also succeeded in frustrating quarterbacks with its defensive backs. The Longhorns have nine interceptions on the season and are led by cornerback Quandre Diggs, who has three. But Texas must step up its red zone defense, which is tied for last in the Big 12.

MOMENTUM
Texas and its sixth nationally ranked scoring offense is coming to Lawrence with a 2-2 conference record. Texas leads the Big 12 in total touchdowns with 23 this season. The Longhorns are 7-0 all-time against Kansas under Mack Brown's guidance. The last time they lost to the Jayhawks was in 1938.
SUNKERS 14
AT A GLANCE
Don't be fooled by Texas' eighth conference ranked offense. While the Longhorns incurred a few road blocks offensively, they've managed to find the end zone. That's because quarterback David Ash has limited his turnovers and played a big role in the Longhorns converting on nearly 52 percent of their third downs. The most impressive part about the Longhorns is that they've played 16 true freshmen, tied for most in the FBS.
COACHING
Mack Brown, who is in his 14th year with Texas, turned around the football program since being hired in 1998. Since Brown took over, the Longhorns have had nine 10-win seasons after having only two over a decade before Brown arrived in Austin. He's compiled a 9-4 bowl record with Texas, the most out of any coach is school history. Brown posted a 69-46-1 record in North Carolina and an 11-23 record in Tulare before he came to Texas. Brown served as an offensive assistant for many schools, including a job as the offensive coordinator in Oklahoma, before landing his head coaching positions.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Texas running back Joe Bergeron has been unstoppable this season, evidenced by his nine rushing touchdowns in the last three games. After a quiet start to the season, he's tied for

SPECIAL TEAMS
The L
the special teams defensive unit has shined this season for Texas. The Longhorns lead the Big 12 and are for first in the nation in blocked field goals and punts with six. Mykeleen Thompson leads the team with two blocks. On the other side of the ball, kick returner DJ. Monroe has the highest kick return average in the conference. He returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown against Oklahoma State earlier this season. With the扣篮 strength last week an earlier team.
QUESTION MARKS
Monroe would like to record a big return this week. The Longhorns will have Penn State transfer Anthony Fera as their place kicker, who is one of two on field goal attempts so far.
Can Texas stop James Sims?
Texas has a tough task ahead when it has to stop James Sims, who has the second highest rushing average per game in the Big 12. The Longhorns are last in the conference in stopping the run. Sims has a big advantage on the ground and is poised to run all over the Longhorns on Saturday if Diaz can't come up with a good game plan to stop the run.
How will Texas prepare for Michael Cummings?
Coach Charlie Weis announced Tuesday that quarterback Michael Cummings will start this Saturday against Texas. Although Cummings is inexperienced, Texas has little knowledge of who Cummings is and what he is capable of. Texas defensive coordinator Manny Diaz won't have much game film to study.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ...
Texas scores 50 or more points on Kansas. Texas was one of six Big 12 teams that scored at least 50 points last weekend, and Kansas just fell victim to Oklahoma by allowing 52 points. The Jayhawks spent all week improving on their defense after last week's loss and having given up over 50 points twice this season.

Director answers questions about '30 for 30'
BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com
After the national television debut of his open letter to Kansas Basketball," ESPN's 30 for 30: There's No Place Like Home," director Josh Swade took some time to talk to the Kansan about his quest to bring James Naismith's original rules of basketball back to the University of Kansas.
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE JAYHAWK?
Danny Manning, without a question. I watched the [1988 National Championship] game at home with my entire family and friends of ours.
Anytime you're doing something like this, there's a million stories within stories. We went up and interviewed the guys at the Basketball Hall of Fame, and we weren't able to find a place for it in our total run time. But those guys really had some neat things to say about the rules.
WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED TO INCLUDE IN THE FILM?
DID YOU DONATE ANY MONEY TOWARD BUYING THE RULES?
If I had the money it took, I gladly would have pitched it in. There was a moment when I was speaking to David [Booth] where I offered to do that. We built a website, and once we did all the media hits people started reaching out and pledging money over email, asking if there was a PayPal account. I basically had to respond to people and say, "Hey, hold off. I don't know yet." There wasn't enough time. When we went out on the road we only had three weeks.
WAS THERE ANY PURPOSE FOR YOUR TRIP TO DUKE OTHER THAN TO SING ROCK CHALK AT CAMERON INDOOR?
We kept hearing about the Smithsonian, the Basketball Hall of Fame and Duke. Those were the three big names that were being rumored. With Duke, we were just down the road in Chapel Hill, NC., so it was just kind of to go check it out. There was a practice going on, and we did have to talk to someone, but they just let us in. There were people there who probably thought I was a bit crazy. When you're just rolling with your buddy who is the camera guy, you're not thinking "Oh, this is going to be on ESPN one day," you're just sort of messing around.

It was very difficult. I would sort of mention it to my inner circle, and they didn't even believe me.
HOW HARD WAS IT TO SIT ON THAT INTERVIEW FOR TWO YEARS?
I was very upset like a lot of fans were. [His answers were] shocking and totally unexpected. I didn't push him at all. I'm far from a seasoned interviewer; that's not a skill of mine. I didn't have a special ability to pull this out of him. He offered that. It was shocking how sincere it was.
HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN ROY
WILLIAMS LEFT KANSAS? HOW DO YOU
FEAL EATER INTERVIEWING HIM?
WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?
I work for a production company, and we do the ESPY awards for ESPN and the NFL Honors awards show, which is the night before the Super Bowl. So I will jump into production on that and will put the film stuff on hold for a while. The one thing that has to be there, for me, is passion. If it's something I'm passionate about, I'm called to do it. Then it's not a job, it's just fun.
HOW DID THE FILM BECOME A "30 FOR 30"?
DID YOU KNOW HOW HIGH DAVID BOOTH WOULD BID ON THE RULES?
We went out on the road and did the film, and we had nothing to do with ESPN at that point. They caught wind of it and were really taken by it. One of the reasons they responded to it so strongly is that it's such a departure for them. If people are used to watching "30 for 30," this is going to come out of left field. When we originally signed on to do it with ESPN, no one ever told me it was going to be a "30 for 30." I only found out it was going to be a "30 for months ago. I had to pinch myself when I found that out because I'm such a fan of the series, and it's unbelievable to be included in that.
When I showed up to his office, all he told me was, "I finally talked to coach Self, and coach Self is pretty fired up about it." When he said that to me, I thought, "Ok, that's a pretty good thing." So I knew that there was some excitement and some willingness to win, but I had no clue he was going to go that far. It was nerve-racking beyond belief.

WHAT WAS THE MOST SUR-
PRISING PART OF THE WHOLE
PROCESS?
Kevin Kietzman having me on his show. He catches a lot of heat in Kansas City about favoring K-State, his alma mater, but he really supported me and had me on for a solid 15 minutes. If he never has me on, then the Allen family never hears about what I'm doing. But the most surprising thing is when David Booth actually won the auction.

FOOTBALL
Big 12 offenses present threats
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
Kansas defensive coordinator Dave Campo served as a secondary coach and defensive coordinator in the NFL for the past 22 years. As a Big 12 defensive coach, Campo's learning more about the conference and is enthralled with offenses he comes across each week.
Last week in college football, six out of 10 teams in the Big 12 scored at least 50 or more points. Two conference matchups featured a shootout in which both teams hit the half-century mark on the scoreboard.
Six offenses in the conference produced 50 or more points, including the Texas offense Kansas will face on Saturday.
"It's a
very explosive league,"
C am p o said.
"The teams in this league
when you've got those kind of players."
Campo said that Mike Stoops, defensive coordinator of Oklahoma, joked with him that the Big 12 is not a league to be a defensive coordinator. Last year, four teams from the Big 12 finished in the top 10 in points per game. Right now there are six teams from the league in the top 11 in points per game. Baylor, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma are placed in the top five.
Senior defensive lineman Josh Williams runs down the field after an interception by the Jayhawks against TCU. The Jayhawks lost to the Horned Frogs 20-6
"It hard not to be aware how many points that are being scored in the Big 12," said Kansas defensive line coach Buddy Wyatt. "The Big 12 offensively presents a big problem. It is not that the defenses are so bad. The offenses are just that good. It's difficult to defend.
KANSAS 95 KU 38 32

have quarterbacks and have skilled athletes. You're dealing with a lot of fire power on offense. That makes it very difficult for the defense
DAVE CAMPO Kansas defensive coordinator
They make you defend the width of the field and the length of the field."
Campo admitted that coaching defense in the Big 12 is one of the most difficult things in college football. Plavers
feel their job can be just as difficult. While each offense in the Big 12 is different, they all still manage to accomplish their top goal
of winning.
"Everyone can score in this league," Kansas linebacker Ben Heeney said. "It's a different game plan, different scheme for each team every week. We just try to put ourselves in the best position to beat that next team, which is Texas."
Last week, Texas allowed Baylor to score 50 points. Luckily for the Longhorns, they scored 56 points
to be able to come away victorious.
Most Big 12 teams have received votes in polls and rankings this season because of their high-powered offense.
"The whole Big 12 is playing very well right now," said Kansas defensive end and captain Toben Opurum. "You've got a tough opponent every week. It's pretty much what you're used to. There's no easy days or no easy week."
Although Kansas has a 1-6 record and have allowed 50 points or more twice this season, the defense has managed to compete with some of the elite offenses in the league.
Kansas held TCU and Oklahoma State to 20 points each. Kansas is second in the Big 12 in red zone defense.
Campo is looking for more consistency from his players. If the defense can be more stable, it will
give the Jayhawks a chance to pull out its first conference win in 16 games.
“[We need to] run to the ball, try to make turnovers, get picks and force fumbles,” Heeney said. “Anything like that to try and get the ball out and get the ball back to the offense.”

Katie Barnes slalom waterskiis. Slalom skiing is where the skier uses one ski with both feet attached to it.
Waterski Club finishes in top ten at nationals
JOSEPH DAUGHERTY jdaugherty@kansan.com
Powered by the strength of a great freshman class, the Kansas Waterski Club had its best season in years.
Club president Katie Barnes, a senior from Overland Park, said this year's great mix of young skiers and veteran skiers was a main factor in the success of the season.
Barnes also said luck was a big factor this season, as a few freshman joined the team and consistently placed in their individual events.
"In waterskiing you have to get lucky and get people that have been doing it their whole life." Barnes said. "It's hard to teach people who
are just learning to ski how to go out and get big scores for your team."
With the development of older team members and the infusion of young talent in this year's club, the women's club was ranked third, the men's finished 18th-ranked, and the team as a whole finished were ranked eighth by the National Collegiate Waterskiing Association. The team competed in the regional tournament and finished in the top five out of more than twenty teams, which qualified them for the Division 1 nationals for the first time in club history. The club qualified for Division II nationals in 2009.
This year the club finished ninth at nationals and had many club
members set personal bests in their respective events.
The club competes in three events every tournament: slalom, trick and jump.
The slalom event requires the skier to maneuver around six buoys. The speed at which they go through the course increases by two miles per hour each time they successfully maneuver around a buoy.
In the trick competition skiers perform various tricks that have predetermined scores for performing each trick.
Finally, in the jump competition the skier goes over a ramp and is judged based on the distance traveled.
The tournaments are over a
weekend and typically have one event each day. The tournaments are not just a competition; they
are also social events in which everyone camps out by the lake, said Barnes.
"There is always just one person on the lake at a time, so the

Some members of the team set personal bests. For freshman Connor Doran, it was the first time he ever competed in the jump event. Since some members were not able to

until I got to the starting dock," Doran said. "It was definitely an experience to remember, especially because the announcer announced to the crowd that it was my first time."
Although Doran did not successfully land a jump, he said it was a great experience and is something he will remember for a long time.
Hamilton said along with setting his personal best in slalom, his favorite part of nationals was how all the teams from the midwest region bonded. "Every time one of our skiers was on the water, we were chanting, 'Team Midwest,'" Hamilton said.

Video game company fails
ASSOCIATED PRESS

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The implosion of former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling's video game company left the state of Rhode Island with a $100 million mess — and Paul DeBlois with a clock.
Lew, choosing only to give his first name, takes a picture of the Curt Schilling "bloody sox" poster hanging in the second floor men's restroom and locker room during an auction of the remnants of the former Boston Red Sox pitcher's video gaming company, 38 Studios, in Providence, R.I.
With the wave of a yellow bidder's sheet, the tax preparer from Burrillville offered the winning price — $200 — on a company clock during a sell-off Tuesday of what is left of 38 Studios, which was lured to Rhode Island with a massive state loan guarantee.
The oversized piece was one of several at the company's former headquarters counting down, to the second, the anticipated launch of the video game Schilling dreamed would be a hit.
But DeBlois had a different use in mind: "It's going to mark the end of tax season for me," he said.

factored in.
The auction, put on by court-appointed receiver Richard Land, comes four months after the company's spectacular collapse into bankruptcy. Rhode Island, whose quasi-public Economic Development Corp. approved a $75 million loan guarantee in 2010, is by far 38 Studios' biggest creditor. In total, the state is likely on the hook for some $100 million related to the deal, once interest in
Hundreds of potential bidders showed up for the auction, which featured everything from high-end computers and graphic animation equipment to model airplanes Schilling is said to have made and kept in his fifth-floor office (empty save for an ergonomic chair, some cherry furniture and an elliptical, which was removed from the sale at the last minute).
"They promised me a statue downtown if I raised $75 million," auctioneer Sal Corio joked during the bidding.
There were no immediate estimates on how much the auction of 2,100 lots might raise, but it is not expected to come anywhere close to covering the company's debts.
A smaller auction last week at Big Huge Games, a gaming studio in Maryland bought by 38 Studios in 2009, grossed $180,000, according to Land. 38 Studios' intellectual property will be sold off in a separate auction in a few months.
Schilling — perhaps best known for pitching through an ankle injury that famously bloodied his sock on his team's way to the 2004 World Series — grew his startup quickly, and couldn't raise the outside money needed to finish the
The company estimated in bank- bankruptcy filings it owes $150.7 million and has assets of $21.7 million.

Chafee, a critic of the original loan guarantee, has insisted he did everything he could to help the company.

room Tuesday after browsing items throughout the building. Some came seeking good deals on computers. One man said he might bid on a refrigerator for his wife.
A few former 38 Studios employees who showed up had an impromptu mini-reunion. Danny Laba of Worcester, Mass., caught Schilling's attention in 2011 by throwing him a baseball with his resume screen-printered on it at the New England Institute of Technology, where Schilling was
delivering the commencement address. Laba said Schilling texted him immediately and, within about a month, he was hired as a system tester.
Laba described the company's collapse as "heart-breaking" but said he had only good things to say about his former boss.
"He went for a personal dream," Laba said. "Isn't that what everyone wants to do?"

The Undergraduate Research Award helps pique students' interest in research by helping with the costs of their projects
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Meaghan Moody, a senior from Chicago, hopes to spend spring break working on her senior thesis in London. Studying the Gothic literary period as part of her degree in English, Moody is vying for the Undergraduate Research Award worth $1,000 to fund her trip and expand the scope of her research project.
"I'll be able to have the actual documents in my hands to study." Moody said. "I will be looking at motifs that transcend Gothic literature even in today's literature. It'll provide fascinating context."
John Augusto, Director of Center for Undergraduate Research, said
the UGRA has been around for 25 years at the University. The purpose of the award develops students' interest in research.
"Students do research for a senior thesis, to help them get ready for graduate school or a career or just because they want to discover something new." Augusto said. "The program is for those students, who for a number of reasons, want more from their KU experience than just doing well in the classroom."
With applications due Nov. 16, Augusto hopes more than 30 scholarships will be awarded for the Spring 2013 semester.
Christie Van Allen, a senior from Clearwater, received the award last year. This assisted her project of synthesizing environmentally
friendly organic compound by products.
Van Allen works in the Organic Research for 15 hours per week. Through the application process, Van Allen gained valuable experience in writing research grant proposals that can help her with future funding.
Focusing more time on research and less time working a job is the reason Hunter Finch, a senior from Los Angeles, hopes to receive the UGRA next spring. Finch is already preparing for his sociology senior thesis, which will focus on how

Casey Pederson, a junior from Clay Center, already spends five hours a week researching in the Clinical Child Psychology Lab. As a UGRA applicant, Pederson hopes to gain more research experience, which is vital for admittance into a graduate psychology program.
"I want to look at different types of aggression and how they correlate to conduct problems in children, and parenting factors that contribute," Pederson said. "The program definitely jumpstarted me to develop my research project."

Balance is key with fall foods
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
With colder temperatures and a abundance of high-calorie seasonable foods, many students find themselves exercising less and eating more. For Lauren Ferris, a graduate student from Shawnee, staying healthy is a trick of avoiding treats during the fall season.
"Fall is my favorite time of the year, and I love pumpkin-flavored food, but it's not always healthy." Ferris said. "So I just make sure to eat in moderation."
When Ferris does indulge in fall treats, she makes sure to balance it out with exercise. And as the weather becomes colder, Ferris notices less students working out at the Ambler Recreation Center, where she works as a KU Fit instructor.
"We start to see lower numbers of participants in the exercise classes because students are busier with schoolwork and involved in group activities," Ferris said.
While students spend more time indoors during fall, they are more likely to eat fattening snacks that come with the holidays, said Ken Sarber, Peer Health Education Adviser for the University.
the pies, candy and other desserts are loaded with unhealthy calories," Sarber said. "But often we forget that a drink like the apple ciders, lattes and hot chocolates can also contain 300 plus calories that can lead to unwanted pounds."
Sarber said a student's visit home is often when these foods are most easily eaten, something Stephen Opskar, a junior from Derby, can relate to.
"I don't keep junk food around, but it's worse when I'm at my parents' house during breaks," Opskar said.

Wanting to maintain a healthy diet, Opskar prefers to only buy food that is good for him.
"If you don't have high fat foods around, it's a lot easier not to eat them." Opskar said.
Opskar stays fit by lifting weights every day as well as biking to campus, which becomes more difficult during the winter months.
So as long as students continue exercising, Ferris said eating a few trick-or-treats should not be a concern.
"It's OK to have a candy bar, just don't have six," Ferris said. "It's all about balancing your diet."

Teach for America looking for diverse applicants for program
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Teach for America places college graduates in teaching jobs in low-income areas, and the TFA student group on campus is recruiting graduating seniors. Applicants do not need education degrees to participate in Teach for America.
Only one in 10 students from a low-income background will graduate from college. Eight in 10 other students will.
That statistic comes from Teach for America, an organization that wants to change the odds for disadvantaged students.
Junior Megan McCloskey, a TFA campus campaign coordinator, said the ideal teacher for Teach for America is a recent college graduate with a high GPA and a leadership presence on campus. The students TFA hires sign a two-year commitment to the program.
Teach for America wants to raise students' standardized test scores and hire teachers who want the challenge of teaching in low-income areas.
"We feel as though if you can lead a group on campus, then that leadership will really help you in the classroom," McCloskey said.
The organization seeks a broad
range of applicants. Hired teachers complete a summer training program focusing on strategies for teaching students from low-income backgrounds. TFA has five application deadlines for graduating college students throughout the year, with the next one on Nov. 2.
TFA serves 750,000 kindergarten through 12th grade students in 46 low-income regions across the United States. Suraj Keshary, a senior from Overland Park and a TFA campus campaign coordinator, said the organization's goal is to prepare students for college. However, teachers can encounter demanding work while helping
students improve in their academics. One of the most difficult problems is just getting students to read at grade level.
"At these schools, it to the point where you could have a ninth grader at a third grader's reading level," Keshary said.
"Many classrooms, you are meeting students who have layers
Teach for America evaluates its teachers based on how much their students improve in reading skills and standardized test scores. Since teachers have only one year with a student, showing any sort of improvement, however minimal, is success.
and layers of lack of confidence or maybe a distance that they keep from teachers because school has not been a warm and welcoming place at times," said Candace Potter, Kansas and Missouri's recruitment manager for TFA.
Potter said when she taught for TFA for two years in Memphis, her students' reading level improved by more than a grade level. She said every Teach for America corps member tracks the data in his or her classroom in terms of their students' mastery, reading levels and writing levels.

Response to storm could sway voters
THE NEW YORKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Now, just when his campaign needs him the most, with little more than a week before the election, his official job is beckoning.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has spent months trying to balance his re-election bid with running the government.
President Barack Obama speaks at Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington on Sunday.
Republican challenger Mitt Romney, too, faces questions about how to conduct his campaign as a superstorm charges toward the East Coast. But as president, it's Obama who oversees the federal government's preparations for the looming storm and it's Obama who will bear the responsibility for any missteps.
Still, ripping up Obama's strategically planned travel schedule was something his Chicago-based campaign was loath to do unless absolutely necessary.
With that in mind, Obama scrapped campaign events Monday night and Tuesday morning. He planned to return to the White House late Monday to monitor the storm and the government's response.
"This is an example, yet again, of the president having to put his responsibilities as commander in chief and as leader of the country first, while at the same time he pursues his responsibilities as a candidate for re-election." Josh Earnest, a White House spokesman, told reporters traveling with Obama to a campaign event Saturday in New Hampshire.
through the most competitive states, trying to build momentum and make a final pitch to undecided voters.
The president's handling of the storm could sway those late-breaking voters. If Obama is perceived as a strong leader who shows command in a crisis, some undecided voters may be compelled to back the president. But a botched response or a sense that he's putting politics over public safety could weaken his support at a point in the race where there's little chance to reverse course.
"I think the president of the United States is the commander in chief. The American people look to him, and I'm sure he will conduct himself and play his leadership role in a fine fashion. So I would imagine that might help him a little bit," said Arizona Sen. John McCain, who lost to Obama in 2008.
That's why Obama's team has moved quickly throughout the year to avoid the impression that the president was shirking his responsibilities, even as the campaign ramped up.
Obama advisers say they've learned the lessons from President George W. Bush's widely criticized response to Hurricane Katrina. Bush was seen as ineffective and out of touch, and his presidency never recovered.
When separate crises struck Colorado this summer — destructive wildfires and a mass shooting at a movie theater — Obama hastily arranged trips to meet with
victims and their families. When a hurricane barreled through the Gulf Coast ahead of the Democratic Convention, the president added a stop in New Orleans to his preconvention itinerary.
Hurricane Sandy was expected to hit the East Coast late Monday, then combine with two winter weather systems as it moves inland. At least four battleground states are likely to be hit: New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.
Obama plans to spend every
day between now and Nov. 6 on the road in most of those states and others, though his schedule does call for him to be back in Washington some nights.
Jennifer Psaki, Obama's campaign spokeswoman, said the Democratic ticket was urging people to vote early when they can, especially if it helps them get to the polls before the storm.
"Safety comes first," she said. "And that's the case with early voting as well."

KU Endowment raises
record-breaking numbers
KU Endowment provided nearly $120 million, a record high, to the University and the University of Kansas Hospital last fiscal year.
The $119.3 million in direct financial support is a six percent increase from the previous fiscal year, according to a University press release. More than 6,900 students received funds from KU Endowment, an independent, non-profit fundraising organization for
the University.
Dave Seuflering, president of KUE,
said the record reflects University
alumni and supporters' generosity.
The funds provided $39.1 million for programs, $35.3 million for faculty, $30.2 million for students and $14.7 million for facilities and technology.
"The support we provide benefits people in Kansas and beyond," Seuferling said.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the west coast of Canada, but there were no reports of major damage. Residents in parts of British Columbia were evacuated, but the province appeared to escape the biggest quake in Canada since 1949 largely unscathed.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the powerful temblor hit the Queen Charlotte Islands just after 8 p.m. local time Saturday at a depth of about 3 miles (5 kilometers) and was centered 96 miles (155 kilometres) south of Masset, British Columbia. It was felt across a wide area in British Columbia, both on its Pacific islands and on the mainland.
"It looks like the damage
and the risk are at a very low level," said Shirley Bond, British Columbia's minister responsible for emergency management said. "We're certainly grateful."
The National Weather Service issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas of British Columbia,
southern Alaska and Hawaii, but later canceled it for the first two and downgraded it to an advisory for Hawaii.

FILE - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas leaves the podium after speaking during the 67th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Despite threats, Palestine will attend United Nations
RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian president is moving forward with his plan to seek upgraded observer status at the United Nations next month, despite American and Israeli threats of financial or diplomatic retaliation, officials said Sunday.
The decision sets the stage for a new showdown between Israel and the Palestinians at the world body, following last year's attempt by the Palestinians to seek status as a full member state. Although that initiative failed to pass the U.N. Security Council, it caused months of diplomatic tensions with Israel.
"We will go to the U.N. regardless of any threats," said Tawfik Tirawi, a senior member of President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement. "I expect the Israelis to take punitive measures against us, if we win this status, but this is our choice and we will not retract it."
This year, the Palestinians are seeking "nonmember state" status in the U.N. General Assembly, where passage is assured. The 193-member assembly is dominated by developing nations sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. Officials say they are looking for what they call a "quality" majority that includes European countries as well, though Germany and Britain, for instance, have been cool to the Palestinian plan.
While upgraded status would not change the situation on the ground, the Palestinians say the move is still significant. They will ask for international recognition of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war.
The U.S. has not publicly said how it will respond this time, though Palestinian officials say Washington has also threatened to cut off vital financial aid to the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority.

Zombies used in security training
SAFETY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — Move over vampires, goblins and haunted houses, this kind of Halloween terror aims to shake up even the toughest warriors: An untold number of so-called zombies are coming to a counterterrorism summit attended by hundreds of Marines, Navy special ops, soldiers, police, firefighters and others to prepare them for their worst nightmares.
"This is a very real exercise, this is not some type of big costume party," said Brad Barker, president of Halo Corp, a security firm hosting the Oct. 31 training demonstration during the summit at a 44-acre Paradise Point Resort island on a San Diego bay. "Everything that will be simulated at this event has already happened, it just hasn't happened all at once on the same night. But the training is very real, it just happens to be the bad guys we're having a little fun with."
"No one knows what the zombies will do in our scenario, but quite frankly no one knows what a terrorist will do," Barker said. "If a law enforcement officer sees a zombie and says, 'Freeze, get your hands in the air!' What's the zombie going to do? He's going to moan at you. If someone on PCP or some other psychotic drug is told that, the truth is he not going to react to you."
In the scenario, a VIP and his personal detail are trapped in a village, surrounded by zombies when a bomb explodes. The VIP is wounded and his team must move through the town while dodging bullets and shooting back at the invading zombies. At one point, some members of the team are bitten by zombies and must be taken to a field medical facility for decontamination and treatment.
Hundreds of military, law enforcement and medical personnel will observe the Hollywood-style production of a zombie attack as part of their emergency response training.
The keynote speaker before hand will be a retired top spook — former CIA Director Michael Hayden.
"No doubt when a zombie apocalypse occurs, it's going to be a federal incident, so we're making it happen," Barker said. Since word got out about the exercise, they've had calls from "every whack job in the world" about whether the U.S. government is really preparing for a zombie event.
Caught "Zombie Apocalypse" the exercise follows the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's campaign launched last year that urged Americans to get ready for a zombie apocalypse, as part of a catchy, public health message about the importance of emergency preparedness.
The Homeland Security Department jumped on board last month, telling citizens if they're prepared for a zombie attack, they'll be ready for real-life disasters like a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake or terrorist attack. A few suggestions were similar to a few of the 33 rules for dealing with zombies popularized in the 2009 movie "Zombieland," which included "always carry a change of underwear" and "when in doubt, know your way out."
San Diego-based Halo Corp.
founded by former military special ops and intelligence personnel has been hosting the annual counterterrorism summit since 2006.
The five-day Halo counterterrorism summit is an approved training event by the Homeland Security Grant Program and the Urban Areas Security Initiative, which provide funds to pay for the coursework on everything from the battleground tactics to combat wounds to cybersecurity. The summit has a $1,000 registration fee and runs Oct. 29–Nov 2.
Conferences attended by government officials have come under heightened scrutiny following an inspector general's report on waste and abuse at a lavish 2010 Las Vegas conference that led to the resignation of General Services Administrator Martha Johnson. The Las Vegas conference featured a clown, a mindreader and a rap video by an employee who made fun of the spending.
Joe Newman, spokesman of the watchdog organization Project on Government Oversight, said he does not see the zombie exercise as frivolous.
"We obviously are concerned about any expenditure that might seem frivolous or a waste of money but if they tie things together, there is a lesson there," Newman said. "Obviously we're not expecting a zombie apocalypse in the near future, but the effects of what might happen in a zombie apocalypse are probably similar to the type of things that happen in natural disasters and manmade disasters. They're just having fun with it. We don't have any problems with it as a teaching point."

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD
MOVIES
Most horror fans would rather go lumberjacking with Leatherface than risk seeing another genre classic slandered by an overproduced, content-neutered remake. The word "remake" alone is enough to repel many purists, who view Freddy and Jason with the same protective ardor other cinemaphiles reserve for the works of Scorsese and Kubrick.
'Evil Dead' best bet for horror remake
So when greenhorn director Fede Alvarez announced his first feature would be a remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 splatter-horror standard "The Evil Dead," the news was met with outrage from the original's fanbase, a passionate lot weaned on the lantern-jawed, chainsaw-wielding awesomeness of Ash (the iconic Bruce Campbell) and his never-ending crusade against a horde of woods-dwelling demons known as the Deadites. The notoriously gory film spawned two wackier, equally beloved sequels: "Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn" and "Army of Darkness."
I'm usually disinclined to support remakes myself, but what better time than Halloween to play devil's advocate? I honestly believe this new "Evil Dead" is showing signs of becoming a successful shocker in its own right. For one thing, Raimi and Campbell have both signed on as producers, with Campbell possibly even returning as Ash for a cameo appearance. It won't be the big budget "Evil Dead 4" many fans were clamoring for, but it could renew interest in the franchise to the point where the latter may become a possibility.

The redband trailer, which debuted last week online, revealed Alvarez's vision not as some slick, toned-down rehash
By Landon McDonald @McMovieMan
a zombie saga featuring one of the more harrowing openings in recent memory, and Matt Reeve's "Let Me In," a poignant vampire film released only two years after its still-superior Swedish counterpart "The Right One In."
Are there any other promising horror remakes on the horizon? Certainly not "The Birds," which is being produced by Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes, the same studio responsible for the bland modernizations of "Friday the 13th" and "The Amityville Horror." Hitchcock's classic revamped with Megan Fox dodging digital seagulls? No thanks.
but rather a graphically violent, feverishly paced bloodbath that seems intent on living up to the original's killer tagline: "The ultimate experience in grueling horror!" The movie, shot with a minimum of CGI and co-written by Oscar-winning Diablo Cody ("Juno," "Young Adult"), also eschews the zany black humor that came to the forefront in Raimi's sequels, a change likely to polarize the faithful.
If Alvarez's "Evil Dead" scores well with fans and critics, it could end up joining David Cronenberg's "The Fly" and John Carpenter's "The Thing" on the rarefied list of horror remakes that manage to match or surpass their predecessors. The last few years have seen only three serious contenders for inclusion: Gore Verbinski's "The Ring," Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead,"
The best bet for 2013 besides "The Evil Dead" is probably this February's "Carrie," starring Chloe Grace Moretz as the tormented high schooler with a budding talent for telekinesis and Juliane Moore as her mother, an unhinged religious zealot who views every physical urge as sinful. The movie, a "re-adaptation" of Stephen King's first novel, has all the ingredients of a genuinely innerving psych drama.
Perhaps most importantly, they haven't recast Ash. The new film's protagonist is now a recovering alcoholic named Mia (Jane Levy), whose college-age friends take her on a weekend getaway to that most idyllic of settings: a cabin in the woods. They find an oddly bound book in the cellar and unwisely read aloud from its pages, which of course results in all manner of demonic possessions, sexual harassment by sentient trees and increasingly poor decisions involving home surgery.
Brian De Palma's 1976 original is still highly revered in some circles, but parts of it come off as painfully dated and even misogynistic, especially during that first scene in the showers. Moretz and Moore are both immensely talented actresses and Kimberly Peirce, the director of "Boys Don't Cry," certainly knows her way around the darker reaches of the female psyche. Factor in the national fervor over bullying and you're left with a possible commercial and critical hit.
Let's just hope they don't skimp on the pigs' blood this time.

'Argo' reaches top spot after three weeks
LOS ANGELES — it took three weeks, but "Argo" finally found its way to the top of the box office.
The Warner Bros. thriller from director and star Ben Affleck, inspired by the real-life rescue of six U.S. embassy workers during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, made nearly $12.4 million this weekend, according to Sunday studio estimates. "Argo" had been in second place the past two weeks and has now made about $60.8 million total.
Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros., said the studio thought there might be a good chance of "Argo" coming out on top this weekend.
"We're thrilled. An accomplishment like that is well deserved, they don't happen very often. You would probably have to do a lot of searching to find a movie that opened in wide release to have two No. 2 weekends in a row and hit No. 1 in the third week," Fellman said. "It's a tribute to the film. Word-of-math has taken over the campaign. We have a long way to go, we have a lot of year-end accolades which will approach, and we'll see what happens in terms of the Academy."

Swing states key as election winds down
ELECTION
With the upcoming presidential election descending upon us, the amount of coverage generated is making it feel inescapable, and we are not even living in a swing state, being bombarded by tens of millions of dollars of competing television ads.
The only thing that is clear about this race is that it will be too close to predict a winner until all the votes have been tallied, but despite a shrunken advantage, a tough sell in a pessimistic economy, and a race that is virtually tied—the president could very well be poised for re-election.
The lead President Obama held over the summer all but disappeared after a rough October,but since then,the momentum built up by the Romney camp seems to have dissinated.
President Obama has had a tough sell. Anytime an incumbent is up for re-election, part of the choice is a referendum of their performance during the time they had in office. The answer Team Obama has been forced to supply has basically been "it was worse

than we knew, and now it is better than you think," which is hardly an ideal advertisement.
As either an Obama supporter or as a supporter of Mitt Romney, you can find plenty of pundity to convince yourself that your candidate has all but locked up the 270 necessary electoral votes.
Election day is looming, and many states have already begun voting, leaving the candidates to rely on their "get out the vote" campaigns down the home stretch. At this late point in the campaign with little time left for members of the electorate to change their minds, voter turnout could be the primary variable remaining in the election equation. The single remaining jobs report seems unlikely to effect many voters or energize many apathetic ones leaving little left to sway undecideds or unlikelys, barring any more "major" announcements from Donald Trump.
According to the numbers provided by current polling data from Real Clear Politics, an aggregate of major polls, 11 states are listed as tops-ups with the rest
realistically predetermined. With so few states left in play, there are relatively few paths to the White House remaining for both Obama and Romney.
The easiest path for either candidate to win the election is simply winning Ohio where Obama has consistently held a narrow lead. It will be hard for either candidate to win the election without it or to lose the election while gaining its 18 electoral votes. However, there are a handful of scenarios that would play out that would find the winner of Ohio falling short.
Romney's path without Ohio is more congested than Obama's, and is part of the reason he could be less likely to meet the requisite 270 electoral votes. In order
to win without Ohio, Romney would have to carry both Virginia and Colorado, where he has been virtually tied with the president. That could be, in itself, a tough task, but he would then also need to win three of these four states: Wisconsin, Nevada, Iowa and New Hampshire, all in which Obama has held a very narrow advantage.
On top of those states, Romney would need Florida and North Carolina, where he has held moderate leads. All of that must happen for Romney to win without Ohio, unless he can steal Pennsylvania or Michigan where Obama has more considerable advantages. So for the Romney camp, the strategy is clear - win Ohio. However, at that point, they would still not quite be out of the woods.
Obama would not find himself in a comfortable position either if Romney carries Ohio even if it is less dire than the scenario described for Romney. For Obama to win the election, but fail to win Ohio, he would have to win in Michigan and Pennsylvania where he leads. Then depending
on how he fares in the tightly contested states Colorado and Virginia, where he would need at least one of the two to stay alive, he would have to win between two and four of the remaining "toss-ups." His best bets would include Wisconsin, Nevada, Iowa and New Hampshire, where his leads are small, because in the final two states, Florida and North Carolina, Romney holds advantages (all polling according to current statistics on RCP).
Anything can happen in the week remaining until Election Day, and Ohio is still decidedly up for grabs. But because of Obama's higher likelihood of success in that most crucial of swing states and his marginally more favorable (yet bleak) probability of winning the election without its 18 electoral votes than his opponent's chances sans-Ohio, it seems the odds are in the president's favor.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
While Amanda Gress' article "Middle East conflicts largely ignored" focuses on the problems Israeli settlers pose to peace between Israel and Palestine, it fails to acknowledge that Israel's territorial sovereignty is under attack by Iran.
According to The Jerusalem Post, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaking earlier this year, said, "[a]nyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime in order to pave the way for world justice and freedom."
At heart of this effort are the terrorist organizations, and political parties, Hamas and Hezbollah. Both parties have been

Hamas, the Palestinian offshoot of the transnational Muslim Brotherhood, and Hezbollah, both major political parties and terrorist organizations, receive funding from the state of Iran, as well as donations made by wealthy backers and charities. These groups act as agents of Iranian interests in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip; and represent an effort to destroy the state of Israel.
As long as terrorist organizations, political parties and countries maintain that the state of Israel should be destroyed, peace in the Middle East will not exist, regardless of any peace efforts initiated by the United States.

Beyoncé's Superbowl show should impress
The Superbowl: Some watch it because they love football, some watch it for the comical commercials and others watch it for the halftime show.
The word has leaked, and now it is no longer a secret. According to The Associated Press, Beyoncé Knowles will be headlining the performance during the halftime show at this season's Superbowl on Feb. 3, in New Orleans. It is the first Superbowl to be held in New Orleans since 2002, and the first since Hurricane Katrina ruined part of the Superdome in 2004. This will be the most watched television event of the year.
By Ben Carroll
bcarroll@kansan.com
Beyonce leaked this news via her official Tumblr account with a headline reading "Countdown to Touchdown" and confirmed the news by posting a picture of herself wearing players eye black with the date of the performance on her face.
Pepsi will be the sponsor for the show. It is the first time since 2007, when Prince performed, that Pepsi has sponsored the event. I remember that performance and thought is was one of the better ones in recent years, ahead of shows by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen and rock legends The Who. The previous years have been the genre of "classic rock" and targeted the older audience for the show but not this year. Beyoncé is our generation's music, and we can expect the show to attract a large amount of teenagers and young adults as well as others.
With previous halftime shows not living up to the hype, Beyonce's performance should stand out and attract more viewers than last year's record breaking 114 million viewers with Madonna headlining that performance. That even drew more fans than the actual game did with 111 million viewers, according to the Nielsen Ratings. That performance was chaotic and weak, especially when MIA showed the camera her middle finger that stirred up a bunch of controversy over the halftime show. This is the second obscene
Even though I am not a fan of Beyoncé's singing, she will put on a good show. She is known as one of the best live performers of our time and has a legacy of sounding better live than recorded. She will live up to her reputation and put on a good performance of dancing, singing and a high fashion show. Beyoncé has won 16 Grammy awards and even sang the national anthem at the start of Superbowl XLVII in 2004 in her hometown of Houston.
gesture during a halftime show, the first being Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake.
Regardless of what people say, this halftime show will be an entertaining performance for what is an anticipated record breaking amount of viewers for the event. Stay tuned.
As of right now, we only know of Beyoncé as the sole performer, but we could see her husband Jay-Z guest star in the show along with old band mates from Destiny's Child. But we won't know this until the performance is aired live on national television in February.

HALLOWEEN
Don't 'skankify' your costume, get creative
On Nov. 1 of last year, my friends and I sat around discussing the Halloween costumes we had seen the night before. I think my friend Casie best summed up our opinions of most of the female costumes.
"Girls, if your Halloween costume can double as a role play in the bedroom, you're doing it wrong."
Words to live by.
Maybe it's because last year, my friends and I wore footie pajamas, Mario and Luigi unitards and unicorn helmets, but we simply didn't understand the inclination to sport a promiscuous firefighter costume on Halloween night.
Believe me, I understand the reasoning. I've seen "Mean Girls." Halloween is the one night a year that a woman can dress like a prostitute and no one can say anything to her.
By Lindsey Mayfield
lmayfield@kansan.com
And yet, I can say something to you. I can say that, regardless of what night it is, photos of you in your Playboy bunny costume will be online all year long. I can say that your boyfriend will still love you if you don't wear that his-and-her-plug-and-socket costume. I can say that you'll have a much better night if you don't have to worry about falling out of your five-inch platform heels.
What I really don't understand is the desire to turn something completely non-sexual into a bra-and-booty-shorts combo. I mean, a watermelon costume with cutouts in the shape of bite marks? A "sexy" strait jacket? A Pikachu costume complete with fishnets and a black and yellow corset? It upsets me that the women's section of Hallowen stores is filled with skanked versions of about every character or item you can imagine.
Some of my friends do a great job of wearing traditional costumes as tastefully as possible. Dressing as alcohol equals poster boards crafted into red solo cups or pirates carrying handles of Captain Morgan (not scrawling Dos Equis across a barely-there duct tape dress). Dressing as athletes equals braiding hair into cornrows and wearing men's basketball shorts (not turning a jersey into a dress paired with kitten heels). Being creative beats being racy any day.
If nothing else, think of comfort over sex appeal. How much more fun will you be if you're free to dance, party hop and maneuver around a room without worrying about a wardrobe malfunction on your sexy Girl Scout costume? (Yes, these exist. And yes, I'm just as concerned as you are).
I won't even mention the benefits of erring on the modest side for reputation's sake. To lift and slightly modify another quote from "Mean Girls"; You have got to stop dressing like sluts and whores. It just makes it OK for guys to call you sluts and whores.
Everyone wants to look cute on the spookiest night of the year, but stay classy, Jayhawks. Stay classy.
P. S. If you're looking for me, I'll be the girl in the suit-and-tie Gangnam Style costume I've pieced together at Goodwill (Either that or whatever I find at Walmart that day).

NO. 3 KANSAS STATE 55
NO. 14 TEXAS TECH 24
KSU 8-0 (5-0) - TTU 6-2 (3-2)
Kansas State advanced to 8-0 on Saturday when it routed Texas Tech in the second half. To no one's surprise, Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein led his team to victory.
Klein completed 19 of 25 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran 12 times for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Klein has 28 total touchdowns this season, and his chances of winning the Heisman increase each week.
Texas Tech held a 10-3 lead early in the second quarter and trailed at halftime by only three, but the game turned into a blowout in the second half. The Red Raiders committed three turnovers, which resulted in 17 points for the Wildcats.
The Wildcats also scored 21 points in the third and fourth quarters to remain undefeated.

OKLAHOMA STATE 36 — TEXAS CHRISTIAN 14 OSU 5-2 (3-1) - TCU 5-3 (2-3)
Oklahoma State struggled early in the game, but bounced back against Texas Christian after the team made up for its early mishaps and cruised ahead.
Texas Christian safety Elisha Olabade took an interception back for a touchdown for the first score of the game. TCU's offense followed through when quarterback Trevone Boykin threw a touchdown pass to L达arius Bobb to take a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.
Oklahoma State kicker Quinn Sharp added three field goals to put his team on the scoreboard before halftime. The Cowboys offense got going in the third quarter with a pair of touchdown scores, and TCU failed to respond.
Oklahoma State quarterback Wes Lunt, who returned Saturday after missing three games, completed 18 of 33 passes for 324 yards, and threw one touchdown and one interception. Joseph Randle ran for 126 yards and put together his sixth 100-yard game of the season to help Oklahoma State pick up its third straight conference win.
Not only did the Horned Frogs lose, but they also lost Boykin to a knee injury near the end of the game.

IOWA STATE 35 — BAYLOR 21
Iowa State 5-3 (2-3) - Baylor 3-4 (0-4)
It's been a long season for both Iowa State and Baylor, with neither team playing well within the conference. This past weekend, Iowa State prevailed and won its second conference game of the season.
After dealing with injury, Iowa State quarterback Steele Jantz had the best game of his season and was responsible for every touchdown scored by Iowa State. Jantz threw 36 passes for 381 yards and five touchdowns. Wide receivers Chris Young and Jarvis West each caught seven passes. Jantz found West three times in the end zone.
Baylor quarterback Nick Florence turned the ball over three times, allowing the Cyclones to have possession of the ball for more than 38 minutes.

All eyes were on Norman, Okla, as the Sooners hosted Notre Dame in one of the biggest matchups this week. Notre Dame held a narrow lead for 18 minutes and added a field goal early in the fourth quarter. After Oklahoma tied the game at 13 in the fourth quarter, Notre Dame went full speed and scored 17 unanswered points to end the game and walk out with a win.
Running backs Cierre Wood and Theo Reddick and quarterback Everett Golson each scored one rushing touchdown for the Fighting Irish. The Notre Dame defense also stepped up when it held the Sooners to four of 14 third-down conversions.

Giants win World Series in 10th-inning tiebreaker
DETROIT — Marco Scutaro singed home the tiebreaking run in the 10th inning, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on Sunday night to complete a four-game sweep and win their second World Series title in three years.
Ryan Theriot, who went hitless for St. Louis in Game 7 of last year's Series, singled softly into right field off Phil Coke opening the 10th.
Brandon Crawford sacrificed, nearly bunting the ball past Coke. Angel Pagan struck out and Scutaro singled into short center field as Theriot slid home ahead of Austin Jackson's throw.
Pablo Sandoval, who hit three homers in Game 1, was selected Series MVP. He was 1 for 5 in Game 4, dropping his Series average to .500 (8 for 16).
Santiago Casilla got the final out of the ninth for the win, and Sergio Romo struck out the side in the 10th
for his third save, freezing Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera with a called third strike to end it. The Giants ran out of the dugout and bullpen to celebrate between the mound and second base.
Of the 24 teams to take 3-0 Series leads, 21 swept and three won in five games.
Delmon Young hit a tying home run off Matt Cain in the sixth. Cabrera and San Francisco's Buster Posey homered, marking the first time both reigning batting champions went deep in the same Series game.
San Francisco's Brandon Belt hit an RBI triple off the right-field in the second inning following a ground-rule double by Hunter Pence. But on a night when the wind was gusting to right field at up to 25 mph, Cabrera put Detroit ahead for the first time in the Series with a wild-blown, two-run drive in the third.
Cabrera's drive, on the 86 mph breaking ball, sailed over Pence, who
thought he would catch it but ran out of room in front of the right-field wall. It drove Jackson, who had walked with one out, and ended Detroit's 20-inning scoreless streak.
San Francisco had not trailed since losing Game 4 of the NL championship series, when the Giants fell into a 3-1 series deficit against St. Louis.
With a light rain falling, Scutaro reached on the chopper to third leading off on the sixth and, one out later, Max Scherzer hung an 82 mph breaking ball. Posey drove it down
the left-field line, where it stayed a few feet fair and landed a couple of rows over the wall for a 3-2 lead.
That advantage didn't last long. Young sent an opposite-field, no doubt drive into the right-field stands in the bottom half, setting off cheers among the crowd of 42,152, with many fans waving white rally towels.
Smyly, Dotel and Coke combined for 2 2-3 innings of hitless relief before the 10th.

Jayhawks to face struggling Mountaineers
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
It would be pretty easy for Kansas to overlook West Virginia in tonight's home volleyball match at 6:30 p.m.
After all, the Jayhawks have a 19-4 record, including 7-2 in 12 play. The 8-16 Mountaineers have lost 10 straight matches and are 0-10 in Big 12 play.
But sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton said the Jayhawks won't write off West Virginia because Kansas needs to win every Big 12 match to catch up to conference leader Texas in the standings.
"We just have to focus during practice that we're training to beat Texas, and so these games in between, we have to be flawless," McClinton said.
With seven freshmen players and just one senior, the Mountaineers are one of the youngest teams in the Big 12. West Virginia's freshmen lead the team in most statistical categories. The Mountaineers enter tonight's match with a .161 hitting percentage, but that number dips to .094 in conference play. Meanwhile, Kansas is hitting .238 overall and .216 in Big 12 play.
The Jayhawks beat West Virginia 3-1 during their first matchup Oct. 3 in Morgantown, W. Va. However, Kansas came out flat during the first set, which the Mountaineers won 25-15.
"If you're going to try overlooking them, they're going to come up and they're going to take a set away from you," McClinton said. "I think that's what we saw when we
were at West Virginia, and then we realized after that point that there's no overlooking anyone in the Big 12."
While West Virginia struggles statistically in most categories, they rank third in the Big 12 with 1.43 service aces per set. West Virginia recorded eight service aces in its first match with Kansas, although the Jayhawks got seven aces of their own.
Against Iowa State Wednesday, Kansas conceded five service aces in the first set alone. Coach Ray Bechard said Kansas conceded so many because they did not do a good job making first contact on the ball.
Serve receives will be key against West Virginia as serving will be the Mountaineers' best hope to keep sets close.
"That's their equalizer," Bechard said. "They really come after you and try to get you out-of-system, so you become more predictable and much like a lot of teams in the Big 12."
Junior outside hitter/defensive specialist Amy Wehrs said West Virginia's style of play is different from other Big 12 teams because this is the Mountaineers' first year in the conference. However, she said West Virginia uses a left-handed right side hitter, which is the norm for most Big 12 teams and something Kansas is used to defending against.
"You'll find a lot of right sides being left-handed because when the set's coming from that way, it's a lot easier for left-handed hitters
to hit the ball versus right-handed hitters." Wehrs said.
The Jayhawks are also in the midst of an nonstandard schedule. Kansas played Iowa State last Wednesday, but did not have a match this past weekend. Usually the team would play Wednesday before having another Saturday match.
But because West Virginia was already in Lubbock, Texas for a match against Texas Tech Saturday, the team asked Kansas if tonight's match could be moved from Wednesday.
According to Kansas Athletics,
the Jayhawks haven't played on a Monday since Sept. 22, 2003, when they swept UMKC.
Bechard said the team practiced Friday, Saturday and Sunday after taking last Thursday off, but that the change in routine would help because it gave the Jayhawks a little more time to rest. But West Virginia travels directly to Kansas after playing Texas Tech, so it will see a similar benefit.
"So I think it a win-win for both sides," Bechard said.

SOCCER
Kansas dominates 5-0 on Senior Night
TYLER CONOVER
tconover@kansan.com
The wind blew frigid and steady at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex Friday afternoon, but that did not put a damper on Senior Night as Kansas and its seven seniors rolled over Northern Colorado 5-0.
Early in the match, it was easy to see Kansas was the more complete team. But despite out-shooting the Bears 11-2 in the first half, the lavwhaws went into half time
with the score
tied at zero.
Throughout the
match, Kansas
was tagged with
a few question-
able off-side calls
that stymied the
attack, but with
about 20 minute
gone in the second half everything fell into place for the Jayhawks as the team rattled off all five goals in the last 30 minutes.
Francis
"I thought we played well in the first half but we just couldn't convert in the attacking third," coach Mark Francis said. "We were just a little bit more clinical I think at the end. That was probably the biggest difference."
Kansas' win Friday was a true team effort as five different players scored. With Ali Kimura's goal in the final minutes, the Jayhawks were able to show off their depth as a team. The team now has
seven players who have recorded a goal this season.
Kimura is a walk-on who started seeing more time as the season progressed, and with the Big 12 tournament starting on Wednesday, Francis is glad that his whole team is able to contribute to winning.
"That was huge for Ali I think," Francis said. "I was excited for her. She kind of came on late this year, and it's been a pretty big learning curve for her, but she is starting to pick things up, and she was in the right place at the right time on that one."
For the Jayhawks to be able to get to the NCAA Tournament, they will have to win the Big 12 tournament. First in line for Kansas is a Texas Tech team that got a win 3-1 here in Lawrence on Oct. 21. With that memory still fresh in their minds, the players will look to build on this convincing victory and make a run for the NCAA Tournament.
Francis said a solid win in the team's last home game is a positive building block for post-season success.
"For us today, I mean, a lot of people scored, we played well and dominated the game, so I think those things are important just in terms of our confidence," Francis said.

FACT OF THE DAY
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Who is the all-time leader in three pointers made in either the Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder organization?
James Harden played college basketball at Arizona State University, and was drafted third overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2009.
A: Rashard Lewis. 918

A. Rashard Lewis, 918

THE MORNING BREW Harden trade could have huge effect on the NBA season
On Saturday, the Oklahoma City Thunder made a trade with the Houston Rockets that will leave most Thunders fans scratching their heads.
The Thunder sent guard James Harden, forwards Daequan Cook and Lazar Hayward, and former Kansas center Cole Aldrich to the Rockets in return for guards Kevin Martin and rookie Jeremy Lanfb, as well as two first round picks in the 2013 draft.
According to ESPN's Chris Broussard, the Thunder offered Harden $55.5 million over four years, but it was $4.5 million less than the maximum deal Harden would eventually agree to with the Rockets on Saturday.
Oklahoma City had previously signed stars Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka to long term contracts, and simply didn't have the cap space to sign Harden. The Thunder is a small market
team, and doesn't have the same kind of money as the Los Angeles Lakers or New York Knicks have to keep all of its players.
This trade has made a huge effect on everyone associated with the league. Harden, who received the Sixth Man of the Year Award last year, provided a big boost for the Thunder off the bench with his deadly three-point shooting and his ability to create plays off the dribble. During the 2011-2012 season, Harden averaged nearly 17 points a game for the Thunder, and was a major factor in helping the Thunder reach the NBA finals, a feat the organization hadn't accomplished since 1996, when they were the Seattle Supersonics.
Even with the acquisition of a proven scorer in Martin, who averaged 17 points per game with the Rockets last season, and Jeremy Lamb, who is a rookie with tremendous upside the chemistry
By Drew Harms
dharms@kansan.com
that Harden provided to the team and on off the court is irreplaceable. Last year, Harden would often come into the game right away and contribute. If Durant was struggling to find his shot to start the game, or if Westbrook was shooting too much, Harden was able to come in during the final minutes of the first quarter and knock down a three pointer or make a play to help get the team back on track.
Not to mention how much the fan base and community valued him. If you haven't been to a Thunder game, Chesapeake Energy Arena feels like a college atmosphere because of the loyalty of the Oklahoma City fans. During games, young kids as well as older fans wear the fake Harden beard to show love and support for him.
Sometimes money isn't everything, and I think Harden should have stayed in OKC for one more year to chase the title. Yes, they lost to the Miami Heat in game 5 of the NBA finals last year. Yes, the Lakers got Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. The Thunder still had one advantage over all of these teams that were competing with them for the NBA title, and that is they have been improved tremendously every year with the same team. The Thunder didn't need to acquire more superstars to improve, such as the Lakers and Heat did. They are a young enough team, and each position is improving each year on their skill level as well as confidence.
KU
The Thunder are by no means done competing with the best teams in the league, but losing Harden is a major loss. In an offseason where the Lakers get Nash and Howard, the Thunder needed to keep their nucleus of players.
Harden was a key ingredient for the Thunder's success the past three seasons, and newcomers Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb have some big shoes to fill.

"It just happened today that it was Evan's turn," coach Stanley Redwine said. "Great job for Evan, but the total team effort is what we're excited about."
The men's cross country team crossed the finish line fourth in the Big 12 Championships race on Saturday, their best finish since 2006.

In the women's race, Iowa State took the Big 12 title, with Kansas finishing seventh. Senior Kyra Kilwein was the top finisher for the Jayhawks for the third time this season.
Kilwein said her goal going into the race was to get one of the top 15 spots as a member of the All-Big 12 team, but that did not happen.
"I think Kyra has had a really good season this year," Whittlesey said. "She's learned how to maintain that aggressiveness throughout the middle of the race and stay calm."
The rest of Kilwine's team, however, were too aggressive Saturday, Whittlese said. Stanley Redwine said the team may have been overcompensating for mistakes made at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational earlier this month.
"I think the things that we did bad at Wisconsin, we tried to make up for those things at the beginning of the race, so I think we went out a little too fast and it hurt us at the end," Redwine said.
The men's and women's teams will travel to Springfield, Mo. for the Midwest Regional on Nov. 9.

NOTES
Kansas went toe-to-toe with Texas for the first time since 2004 and were 12 seconds away from its first victory since a 19-18 win in 1938. The defense showed mental toughness in bouncing back from a 45-point rout a week earlier, holding another ranked opponent to under 22-points and Michael Cummings completed a couple big passes. Signs of improvement have never been more clear.
GLASS HALF EMPTY
The Jayhawks' mistakes early on may have been too critical. Turning a first-and-goal into a fourth-and-29 looks a lot bigger in hindsight along with Greg Brown's dropped interception on what would be Texas' game-winning drive. Michael Cummings' passing game was fine against Texas, but will need to be stronger against Baylor next week.
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
To be fair, everyone on the Jayhawks looked sloppy in the first quarter, yet before Kansas could escape it, the punt team came out on fourth-and-one and added to the madness. Ron Doherty's kick went away and flew out of bounds after traveling just 13 yards. Verdict: Just Plain Stupid
Not lost in the pains of the first quarter was a first-and-goal that became a fourth-
and-29. The series began with a fumbled snap that set Kansas back 16-yards and was followed up with a sack and two failed passes. Not the Jayhawks' brightest moment.
Charlie Weis said if there's a better running back in the Big 12 than James Sims, he hasn't seen him. As evidence, Sims broke off a 64-yard run in the second quarter that sparked the offense. The junior went on to average 6.3 yards per carry.
GAME BALL
Charlie Weis doesn't believe in moral victories — and nor should he — but if he's been doubting whether or not he's doing the right thing, he can look to this game. The Jayhawks were only 12 seconds away from beating a ranked Texas squad
Kansas will take on another offense averaging 44 points a game featuring the best passing game in the nation. Baylor will certainly be a test. The good news, however, is that the Bears are giving up three points less than they score.
LOOKING AHEAD
FINAL THOUGHT:
—and Kansas looked better than its counterpart all game. This team still has a long way to go, but at least the starting line is out of sight.

Kansas offense improves with running game
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
Kansas coach Charlie Weis knew his offense would be effective if his team could run the ball. The Jayhawks' running game was dynamic on Saturday with a season-high of 56 carries for 234 yards.
James Sims led all running backs with a career-high of 176 yards, including a 64-yard run early in the second quarter. Sims saw a big hole in the Longhorns defense and busted through for a big gain, which translated into a layhawks touchdown three plays later.
"They are fast, and we knew that from the beginning," Sims said. "I just try to take what I can, so I took what they gave me."
Sims credited his offensive line and said he felt more confident than ever. He is living up to the expectations of his coaches, and
Weis feels the same way about Sims as he did in the spring.
"I don't know if there is a better back in this league." Weis said. "If they exist, I have not seen them yet."
Sims was complemented by running backs Tony Pierson, Taylor Cox and Christian Matthews. The three combined for 21 carries, 94 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday. Weis made adjustments at halftime to run the ball more in the second half since it worked well in the first half.
Kansas ran the ball 10 times and didn't attempt a pass in the third quarter. Quarterback Michael Cummings completed three of his nine pass attempts on the day. The Jayhawks continued to move the ball on the Longhorns rush defense, which is ranked last in the Big 12.
"We came out and just tried to grind the football and make it
a smash-mouth football game," Cummings said. "We enjoy playing physical football. We have good backs in the backfield, and we like watching them run."
But the Jayhawks' run-heavy offense only rendered 17 points. Players were excited on the sidelines until Texas took the lead with 12 seconds to go in the game.
Even though, statistically, Sims had the best game of his career, it was hard for him to be enthusiastic with the way the game ended.
"I wasn't really worried about it at the time," Sims said. "I was hoping we'd get this win. We worked so hard. I know the wins will come up soon."
Although Weis does not accept moral victories, players and coaches will still look at positives and try to build on them moving forward. Sims likes the backfield he is a part of and hopes the group can help lead the team to
victories before the season ends.
"We all can do different things," Sims said. "We have a good combination of backs that we all fit in and work together."
Despite the strong effort from the running game, Kansas lost its 17th straight conference game. The Jayhawks will get back to practice this week and get ready for back-to-back road games, beginning with Baylor next Saturday.
"Hopefully I'll come in tomorrow morning, get through this, and then bring them in here and go over the game, and get out there and practice." Weis said. "Hopefully we can put it behind us and start getting ready for next week."

OFFENSE
It was no secret that Kansas was planning to attack Texas on the ground, and the Longhorns still couldn't stop it. The Jayhawks collected 234 of their total 273 yards through the run game, and James Sims gained 176 yards alone. Michael Cummings didn't have a great passing game (3-9), but he connected at all the right moments — including an 18-yard pass to Jimmy Mundine on a crucial third-and-eight in the fourth quarter.
Grade: B-
DEFENSE
You can't ask for a better performance out of Dave Campo's corps. Texas came into Lawrence averaging 44 points per game, and it scored only 21 on the Jayhawks. Linebackers Ben Heeney and Hulden Tharp had monster games, leading Kansas with 13 and 11 tackles, respectively, including a few goal-line stops. Two interceptions by cornerback Greg Brown and safety Lubbock Smith kept the momentum scoring the Jayhawks.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Grade: A+
Solid kickoff coverage, an average of 33.2 yards per punt and a clutch field goal to take the lead — what more could you ask for out of Clint Bowen's group this week? Coach Charlie Weis allowed Bowen to use any player he wanted on special teams, and this decision paid off. The field goal unit, after being catastrophic in previous games with Nick Prolago, put it together to notch a 29-yarder to take a 17-14 lead in the fourth quarter.
Grade: B+
COACHING
Both Dave Campo and Charlie Weis were on their game this week. Weis' running game ran 25 straight plays at one point, and the Longhorns still couldn't stop them. The defensive team had arguably its best game of the season coming off of its absolute worst. Campo continues to be the Jayhawks' biggest asset.

A HEARTBREAKING FINALE
All not lost for football

Despite all the losses, Kansas isn't a lost cause. The program needs time to develop, If coach Charlie Weis entered the program and led the team to the upper tier of the Big 12, he would be a wizard.
Football magic filled the air in Memorial Stadium Saturday as excited fans readied themselves for a Homecoming battle between Kansas and Texas. For 58 minutes, that same magic fueled the Kansas crowd's hope for a victory, with the Jayhawks up by three points with two minutes left.
Sure, Kansas is 1-7. It only win of the season was against an FCS opponent. Kansas lost to a horrible opponent in Rice.
But with 12 seconds left on the clock, the Longhorns scored and escaped with a 21-17 victory, leaving Kansas fans continuing to wonder when their team's Big 12 losing streak would end.
TYLER BIERWIRTH/KANSAN
A FAMILIAR FEELING lavhawks continue to compete at home. but lose on late touchdown,
All of these signs point to a possible victory down the road. Just think that the two Big 12 victories could have been against Oklahoma State and Texas, given the Jayhawks' strong performances in both games. Those teams aren't the best, but still would've been respectable victories considering Kansas' record in the past few years.
No coach in the NCAA can wave a magic wand and turn a losing program into a bowl-eligible team over the course of eight games. Winning programs don't happen overnight.
Kansas' losing ways continue, but that doesn't mean players aren't improving. This Jayhawk team is full of developing talent that will still be there next season.
Against Texas, sophomore linebacker Ben Heeney led the team with 13 tackles. Heeney leads the team in tackles with 69. Junior linebacker Huldon Tharp contributed 11 tackles against Texas and is fourth on the leading tackler list with 41 in seven games. Even freshman linebacker Jake Love recorded six tackles to give him 26 tackles this season.
The team's young talent continues to improve with each game. Starting players earlier in their career usually helps them develop maturity and talent.
Kansas never quit. The defense looks to be anchored by a young and talented linebacker core. The offense continues to run through a loaded backfield.
Linebackers Ben Heeney, sophomore, and Hulden Tharp, junior, tackle their opponent during last Saturday's game against Texas for the 100th anniversary Homecoming game in Memorial Stadium. Despite holding a lead for the majority of the second half, the linebackers lost 21-17.
That was exactly the case against Texas.
The lethal rushing attack has leaders as well. Junior running back James Sims continued his excellent season with 176 rushing yards while averaging 6.3 yards per carry. In only five games, Sims leads the team with 622 yards and has scored five times.
Sophomore running back Tony Pierson helped Sims with 51 rushing yards and scored one touchdown. Pierson trails Sims this season season, but is not far behind, rushing for 437 yards and scoring three times.
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Not since losing on a last-second field goal to Rice in week two had the Jayhawks come so close to victory.
Had 12 more seconds ticked off the clock, Kansas would be celebrating its first conference win in 17 tries, but Texas wouldn't have it. Case McCoy found D.J. Grant alone in the end zone on third-and-goal to go up 21-17 in the jayhawks' latest defeat.
It was the third-straight home game that Kansas matched up against one of the top offenses in the country and slowed it down to no avail. However, in the early goings, it seemed as if the Jayhawks were playing defense against themselves.
The first quarter highlighted two muffed kickoffs, a 13-yard punt, a fumbled snap, a Longhorns touchdown and a first-and-goal that turned into a fourth-and-29.
Yet, just before the game turned into another blowout, junior running back James Sims broke through the line for a 64-yard run early in the second quarter and looked to
get faster on each carry after.
The junior finished the day with 176 yards — and helped set up both Kansas scores — in large part because of Kansas offensive line was picking up Texas' blitz-heavy defense.
From then on, every time Texas threatened on offense, there was a usually a jayhawk there to make a stop — and more often than not it was sophomore linbacker Ben Heeney.
Heeney led the Jayhawks with 13 tackles, two of which kept Kansas in the lead. After the Longhorns reached the goal line on its first drive of the second half. Heeney nearly stopped them by himself. He first held running back Johnathan Gray on third down, and when Joe Bergeron attempted to run it in, Heeney and Huldon Tharp did the same to him.
"He only knows one speed, and it's full speed." coach Charlie Weis said. "He's one of the guys in that situation who is capable of stopping someone because he's not waiting to wrap you up he's waiting to deliver a blow on you."
The Jayhawks entered the fourth quarter with the lead for the first
time since losing to Baylor 34-31 in overtime last season, and only once did the Kansas momentum waver.
With Texas en route to its second touchdown, Kansas linebackers Jake Love and captain Toben Opurum were injured on the same play. Love didn't return to the game,
while Opurum was limited to only third- and long situations.
Kansas had collapsed many times before in the fourth quarter, but not against Texas.
But instead of folding, Kansas put together one of its best drives on the day. Michael Cummings, who made his second career start, marched the Jayhawks 84-yards, converting to set up Nick Prolago's 29-yard field goal.
Toben, he's one of the best players on defense and it just sucks to see one of your brothers go down like that."
"They showed some mental toughness," Weis said. "We've talked about 'Here we go again,' and that's not how we acted."
Texas came storming downfield, but not before Kansas had a chance to seal a victory. On McCov's first snap of the game-winning drive,

BRADLEY MCDOUGALD Senior safety
Five plays later, Kansas was backed up to its goal line. Johnathan Graytried to run in for a score and was again met by Heeney. On Gray's second try, he was found by cornerback Tyler Patton instead.
"I was a flat defender on that play," Brown said. "I looked back at the quarterback, and he had already thrown the ball, but he threw it low. I tried to get low to catch it, but I couldn't secure it."
Weis could have called timeout after stopping the previous Texas
runs, but wanted the defense to keeps its rhythm and momentum. The clock kept ticking and the pressure kept building until the Grant finally found himself alone.
"When you get down to that goal line, especially in the situation we were in, you have that mindset that they can't get in," Tharp said. "That adrenaline builds up in you and it's nice having a coach having that confidence in us to get that stop."
Heeney said if Texas had tried to run, the Jayhawks would have stopped them. Instead, McCoy faked a handoff on third down that the entire defense bit on, leaving D.J. Grant by himself in the corner of the end zone with just 12 seconds left.
"It's going to hurt for a while", senior safety Bradley McDougald said. "We don't really know if we heading in the right direction until next week. The moment that guys can play with consistency, if the players who had great days like today can play like this next Saturday and the Saturday after that, then we're in the right direction."

Jayhawks defense leads to victory

"That's as good as Carolyn has looked, and she's looked good in practice." Henrickson said. "Her 80 percent is better than most people's 100 percent."
Davis only played 15 minutes, and Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said Davis looked great with her eight points and eight rebounds.
It's been eight months since senior forward Carolyn Davis tore her ACL, and on Sunday, she was on the court helping her Jayhaws defeat Washburn 57-35.
"I knew I wasn't going to get that many minutes," Davis said. "But I was just excited to be out there."
Davis said it felt good to get out there, and she knew she had to play hard in her limited role.
Senior point guard Angel Goodrich, who led the team with 11
points and six assists, said it was great to have Davis back in the starting lineup.
"She was so excited and we were excited for her," Goodrich said.
"We turned them over at the top of the key and from there it becomes a track," Heickrison said. "A sprint from the top of the key to the rim, we won that track meet today."
The Jayhawks were able to get out and run in transition, getting 19 points off of 29 forced turn-overs.
The transition game started with Goodrich who had six steals. Henrickson said having a point guard that could create easy opportunities leads to easy baskets in the paint.
"Great point guards can get in the paint, that's what great point guards can do," Henrickson said. "And they make really good decisions and when Angel got in the paint the second half, we started
putting points up."
Sophomore guard Natalie Knight had a good game as she dropped 11 points and came up with four steals. Along with Knight, sophomore Asia Boyd had performed well off the bench as she got in the lane getting some lay-ups on her to an eight point and two rebound game.
Despite the 22-point victory, the lajahawks shot just more than 35 percent. Davis said it was the opposite of what has been the norm of the lajahawks, having the defense play better than the offense.
"I think our defense is a lot better," Davis said. "We have been struggling in practice and in the scrimmage we had. I thought today we came out and picked it up. A lot of people were playing a lot better today than they were in practice."

BALLOT BATTLE
ISSUE BREAKDOWN
Election Day is one week away, campaign season is winding down, and many American voters have chosen their candidates. However, for those of you who remain undecided, here is a breakdown of the issues most important to young people. Take a look at where former Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama stand on higher education, social issues and the economy in order to make an informed decision on Nov. 6.

"I think that issues we ordinarily hear of like students loans are almost irrelevant," Loomis said. "They're not spending time there because they don't think there are
In Jan. 2012, Obama spoke at the University of Michigan about the need for universities to stop tuition increases. "We should push colleges to do better," he said. "We should hold them accountable if they don't."
Higher education is still on his radar. According to barackobama.com, the president plans to cut tuition growth in half over the next 10 years by expanding student aid and working with states and universities. He invested about $2
billion in community colleges and hopes to create a relationship between community colleges and businesses to train 2 million Americans for employment. Obama has also proposed a "Pay As you Earn" program that would make federal loans cheaper for low-income borrowers by capping monthly loan repayment at 10 percent of discretionary income. To see if you qualify for this program, go to barackobama.com/education-calculator.
However, Democratic state Rep. Barbara Ballard said both candidates are trying to appeal to young voters.
"They know that 18 to 29-year-olds are crucial" she said. "They can't write off an important sect of American society; they need to give them a reason to vote."
According to mitromney, com, the former Massachusetts governor plans to simplify the financial aid system. He would like to cut federal spending; instead of focusing on community or four-year colleges, Romney thinks the U.S. should turn its attention to skill training programs.
Loomis said he thinks
Romney would cut federal Pell Grants if elected.
"His sense is that he will make the economy better and that will be better for everybody," Loomis said.
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS
Loomis said that each candidate has used social issues to speak to their committed supporters because most voters already have clear preferences on
one side or the other. He also said the candidates' stance on abortion restrictions may sway peoples' opinions.
"Romney and Ryan are
talking about severe restrictions on abortion. There are people arguing for no abortions for rape or incest victims." Loomis said. "I think that cuts against the

also reads, "President Obama believes a woman's health care choices are personal decisions, best made with her doctor and without interference from politicians."
According to Mitt Romney's website, he is pro-life and views abortion as a problem because he believes life begins at conception; he wants the law to reflect this idea. Romney would like the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade and have states

Romney delays campaign
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AVON LAKE, Ohio — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney curtailed his campaigning Monday as Hurricane Sandy churned closer to the Eastern Seaboard and he urged supporters to donate to the Red Cross or other relief agencies gearing up to help millions expected to become victims of the powerful storm.
"Do your very best to help," he urged them.
Ronney will go ahead with a scheduled rally Monday afternoon in Iowa, but has canceled an evening event in Wisconsin. He also will not campaign in Ohio and Iowa on Tuesday as planned. His campaign has mobilized campaign staff across Virginia, which was be lashed by the storm, to collect donations for victims and he

Romney did not ignore politics completely while addressing more than 2,000 supporters in the gymnasium of an Ohio high school on Monday afternoon.
"I know the people of the Atlantic Coast are counting on Ohio and the rest of our states," he said.

'Sandy' leaves mark on Caribbean
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP)
— As Americans braced Sunday for Hurricane Sandy, Haiti was still suffering.
Officials raised the storm-related death toll across the Caribbean to 65, with 51 of those coming in Haiti, which was pelted by three days of constant rains that ended only on Friday.
“This is a disaster of major proportions,” Prime Minister Laurent
As the rains stopped and rivers began to recede, authorities were getting a fuller idea of how much damage Sandy brought on Haiti. Bridges collapsed. Banana crops were ruined. Homes were underwater. Officials said the death toll might still rise.
Lamothe told The Associated Press, adding with a touch of hyperbole, "The whole south is under water."
The country's ramshackle housing and denuded hillsides are especially vulnerable to flooding. The bulk of the deaths were in the southern part of the country and the area around Port-au-Prince, the capital, which holds most of the 370,000 Haitians who are still living in filmsy shelters as a result of the devastating 2010 earthquake.
Santos Alexis, mayor of the southern city of Leogane, said Sunday that the rivers were receding and that people were beginning to dry their belongings in the sun.
"Things are back to being a little quiet," Alexis said by telephone. "We have seen the end."
Sandy also killed 11 in Cuba.
where officials said it destroyed or damaged tens of thousands of houses. Deaths were also reported in Jamaica, the Bahamas and Puerto Rico. Authorities in the Dominican Republic said the storm destroyed several bridges and isolated at least 130 communities while damaging an estimated 3,500 homes.
Jamaica's emergency management office on Sunday was airlifting supplies to marooned communities in remote areas of four badly impacted parishes.
In the Bahamas, Wolf Seyfert, operations director at local airline Western Air, said the domestic terminal of Grand Bahamas' airport received "substantial damage" from Sandy's battering storm surge and would need to be rebuilt.
EUROPE
Democratic potential haulted by election results
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KIEV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian president's party will retain its strong grip on power, according to returns Monday from a parliamentary election that was criticized by Western observers as unfair and biased against the opposition.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The West was paying close attention to Sunday's vote in the strategic ex-Soviet state of 46 million people, which lies between Russia and the European Union and serves as a key transit nation for Russian energy supplies to many EU countries.
While the voting process got positive ratings at most polling stations observed, the vote tallying lacked transparency, the group said.
Election commission officials count ballots at a polling station in Kiev, Ukraine, Sunday. Ukrainians are electing a parliament on Sunday in a crucial vote tainted by the jailing of top opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko and fears of election fraud.
Monitors said the election was marred by the absence of jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and another opposition leader, the ruling party's use of government funding for the campaign and the skewed media coverage that favored the ruling party.
Observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe called the vote a setback to Ukraine's democratic and European aspirations. That assessment could lead to a further freeze in Kiev's ties with the West and push it closer to Russia.
"Considering the abuse of power and the excessive role of money in this election, democratic progress appears to have reversed in Ukraine," said Walburga Habsburg Douglas, the special coordinator who led the OSCE election observation mission. "We do not think that this election was fair because it was not level."
"Ukrainians deserved better from these elections," said Andreas Gross, the Head of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe delegation. "Unfortunately, the great democratic potential of Ukrainian society was not realized in yesterday's vote."
The U.S. State Department characterized Ukraine's elections as "a step backwards from progress made during previous parliamentary elections and the 2010 presidential election, elections that had marked important steps forward for Ukraine's democracy"
In a statement, the State Department expressed concern over "the use of government resources to favor ruling party candidates, interference with media access, and harassment of opposition candidates."
The State Department also was "troubled by allegations of fraud and falsification in the voting process and tabulation, by the disparity between preliminary results from the Central Election Commission and parallel vote tabulations, and by the Central Election Commissions decision not to release precinct results."
President Viktor Yanukovych's Russia-friendly Party of Regions was leading in the count with 34 percent of the vote. Tymoshenko's pro-Western party was second with 23 percent, trailed by the Communists, Yanukovych's traditional allies, with 15 percent. Another liberal party, Udar (Punch), led by world boxing champion Vitali Klitschko had 13 percent and the far-right Svoboda (Freedom) party had 9 percent.

JOHANNESBURG — Freedom of expression needs to be balanced to give the right to dignity and privacy to all South Africans, President Jacob Zuma said Monday, after he agreed to withdraw a defamation case against a newspaper cartoonist who depicted him poised to rape Lady Justice.
Zuma said his government's proposed Media Appeals Tribunal is designed to assure those rights in South Africa, where the president's complaints against some in the local press have brought this tension into sharp focus.
Amedia tribunal would "strengthen, complement and support the current self-regulatory institutions"
such as the press council, said Zuma, speaking to the Foreign Correspondents Association Monday.
Media watchdogs disagree with Zuma and say that industry self-regulation is the best approach.

Viewers not watching TV in traditional ways
TELEVISION
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES _ One of the most popular new shows of the fall television season is NBC's "Revolution," a drama about post-apocalyptic America.
About 9.2 million viewers tuned in to a recent episode, a so-so performance. But that number jumped by nearly 5 million when the Nielsen ratings service added in the people who recorded the show and watched it later or saw it through video on demand or online.
But the real revolution is how people are watching it.
"Revolution" isn't the only show whose popularity can no longer be measured solely by traditional TV ratings. Of the 18.1 million people who watched the season premiere of CBS' new gangster drama "Vegas," 3.6 million did it hours or days after the episode originally aired. It is not uncommon for more than half of the audience for Fox's "Glee" to watch the show after it airs on Thursday nights. FX's "Sons of Anarchy" doubled its audience for a recent episode thanks to the digital video recorder. Even ABC's "Modern Family," already one of the most-watched situation comedies on television, has gained as much as 30 percent of its audience from DVRs.
"This year is a tipping point for all of us to look at the world a different way," said CBS Chief
Although the DVR is a blessing for couch potatoes, it is more of a mixed blessing for the television industry. The upside is that the DVR enables people to watch more television and gives executives another measuring stick to determine hits and flops instead of living and dying with overnight ratings

"This year is a tipping point for all of use to look at the world in a different way."
The downside is that although DVRs enable viewers to catch shows they might otherwise miss, if someone is watching a recorded program it means
Network executives and Nielsen contend that not everyone using a DVR is skipping commercials. In May 2010, a Nielsen analysis showed that in homes with DVRS, average prime-time commercial viewership among adults 18 to 49 the demographic most popular

with advertisers, jumped 44 percent from the time ads first aired to three days later.
they are not watching live TV. Networks still put great effort into designing lineups that will keep viewers tuned in to live TV. DVRs and other platforms have the potential to blow traditional viewing habits out of the water.
"The ratings tell us people watch commercials when they are doing playback," said Pat McDonough, a senior vice president at Nielsen. According to McDonough, almost half of all spots are viewed in playback mode. That figure, she said, has increased from a few years ago.
And if viewers are using their DVRs more to watch TV, it also means they can easily skip through commercials, which has many advertisers worried.
"I just don't think we can put all our eggs in one basket anymore," said Andy Donchin, an executive vice president with Carat, which buys commercial time for General Motors, Home Depot and other companies. "It's time to see what other media platforms we can use
Viewers often simply forget they are watching a recording, particularly if they are seeing a show the same day it was recorded, McDonough said. There are also more eye-catching advertisements, she added.
"The people making the commercials know how to get us to come off the fast-forward button, McDonough said."

ECONOMY
MITT ROMNEY (R)
The economy and jobs have been a major focus during the campaign/season; some pundits have pointed out that this seems to be an election based on one
issue. Romney has been focusing on the question "Are you better off than four years ago?" to reveal Obama's failure with the economy. Obama has fought back
Loomis said Olama's economic plan is more specific than Romney's.
According to barackobama. com, the president should be credited with refusing to let the American auto industry die. He also made efforts to revive manufacturing in the U.S., and has added about 45000 jobs in less than two years.
"It's not perfect," Loomis said. "But he plans to raise taxes on the wealthy a little big, work on creating more manufacturing jobs and invest more in science."
by listing the steps he has taken with job creation.
Obama's website also says that he passed Wall Street reform "to make sure that Americans would never again have to pay to bail out big banks."
According to the Associated Press Economy Survey, whoever wins the presidential election will
face the task of managing big economic threats, including the effects of a weakened European economy on U.S. exports and jobs.
According to NBC News, Romney closed his speech in Iowa on Friday by highlighting the need for "big change" regarding the economy.

"This is an election of consequence," Romney said. "Our campaign is about big things, because we happen to believe that America faces big challenges. We recognize this is a year with a big choice, and the American people want to see big changes. And together we can bring that kind of change, real change to our country."
According to his website, Romney seeks to reduce taxes, spending, regulation and government programs. He also wants states to have the power to make economic decisions. To
achieve these goals, he created a five-part proposal to grow the economy. He hopes to use the plan to create 12 million jobs in four years, an aim that he can achieve with the Americans in the private sector. Part of his plan is working toward energy independence by 2020. He also wants to increase trade, heighten the performance of public schools, cut the deficit and help small businesses.
"Romney feels that government should get out of the way. He thinks that if he is elected and free market forces coming into play, the American economy will rebound more quickly." Loomis said.

Lower Manhattan goes dark during hurricane Sandy on Monday as seen from Brooklyn, N.Y. Sandy continued on its path as the storm forced the shutdown of mass transit, schools and financial markets, sending coastal residents fleeing, and threatening a dangerous mix of high winds and soaking rain.

GAME
DAY
First look at the Jayhawks
Exhibition game opens season tonight
KANSAS VS. EMPORIA STATE 7 p.m., Lawrence, Kansas
AT A GLANCE
Although last year's Kansas team finished the season as the second best shooting defense in the nation, this year's team will be even more defensive-minded. Emporia State will be far from the most difficult defensive challenge this team will face this season, but it will provide a good early season barometer to see how the team's communication and chemistry is coming along. With three starters from last year's squad returning, most of the chemistry should remain. Now it is all about seeing how the new pieces will fit together as the players morph into new roles that they hope has another deep tournament run painted on it.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Freshman Forward Perry Ellis
Ellis will be the first player off the bench for the Jayhawks once the game gets underway. He is the most talented offensive threat in the Jayhawks front-court and will be counted on to help replace the offensive void left by the departures of Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor.
QUESTION MARK
Who will score for the Jayhawks?
It's not that the Jayhawks aren't a talented offensive team—they have many players with the capability of producing a double-digit performance on offense—but none of their returning players have proven that they can carry the scoring load on a night-in and night-out basis.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"I asked Travis, has anybody told you that 'Hey, don't get hurt because if you get hurt you may not get your spot back.' Nobody's told Travis that. Nobody's told or walked up to Elijah and said 'hey, I know you're the guy now, but don't sleep on me.' We don't have that yet and we have nice kids and nice kids are great, but we certainly need that aggressiveness, that mindset that 'Hey, wake up every morning and I'm going to do whatever to take his spot, so just don't stub your toe."
Releford
KANSAS
0-0, (0-0 BIG 12)
STARTERS
-Bill Self on how he needs to get the younger guys to play with a more aggressive mindset.
ALEXANDER BARR
Travis Releford, Senior Guard
Teleford will be tasked with defending Emoria State's best perimeter player. The senior has built his reputation around defense and being a hustle player, but he will be counted on to provide more of a consistent scoring punch this season as the Jayhawks will look to diversify their offensive attack after relying on two players for nearly half their scoring last season.
★★★★☆
McLemore
Ben McLemore, Freshman Guard
Coach Bill Self feels McLemore is the furthest along of the extensive freshman class. Part of that can be attributed to his natural ability, but a good portion of it is because he was tasked with guarding Tyshawn Taylor in practice every day last season.
FY2017
Johnson
★★★☆☆
Elijah Johnson, Senior Guard
Johnson, the Jayhawks leading returning score with 10.2 points per game last season, steps into the role of the point guard following the departure of Tyshawn Taylor. He is not a true point guard, and he projects to the NBA as more of a combo guard, but for the majority of the time when he is in the game, he will be tasked with running the Jayhawk offense.
Traylor
★★★☆
Jamari Traylor, Freshman Forward
M. KAVANI
Traylor is a raw but athletic forward. He gets the nod to replace Kevin Young, who will miss the exhibition season due to a broken hand suffered in practice last week because of the energy he brings to the floor. After being ruled eligible by the NCAA last season, this is his first chance to show the coaching staff what he can do in a game situation.
Withey
★★★☆☆
Withey faces the challenge of transitioning from the secondary offensive option to the team's main option down low this season. This will be the first chance for him to show off the offseason improvements he's made to his offensive game, and he should have an easy time as he'll have a few inches over his Hornet counterpart Daniel Shaw.
Jeff Withey, Senior Center
★★★★☆
Ethan Padway
EMPORIA STATE
0-1
STARTERS
Taylor Euler, Senior Guard
Taylor Euler shot 41 percent from three point range and made three three-pointers in eight games. Euler led the MIAA conference in assist-to-turnover ratio last season for players that averaged three assists per game or more. He did seem to struggle against Tuisa — in 28 minutes Euler scored five points, with one assist and two turnovers.
EMPORIO
Euler
Kaleb Wright, Junior Guard
★☆☆☆☆
EMPORIA
Wright
Against Tulsa, Wright was tied for taking the most shots and playing the most minutes for Emporia State. He also was the team's leader in turnovers. Wright is playing his first year at Emporia after transferring from Mineral Area College where last season he averaged 9.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.
★★☆☆☆
Chris Sights, Senior Guard
Chris Sights is the highest returning scorer for Emporia State, averaging 10.9 last season starting in 25 of the team's 27 games. Sights shot 43 percent from three point range last season. The issue for Sights seems to be turnover. He had more turnovers than assists last season and turned the ball over more than any other player for Emporia State.
Sights

★ ★ ☆ ☆
Gavin Brown, Junior Forward
Last season with the Cowley CC Tigers, Gavin Brown made a run to the NUCAA Region 6 Championship game averaging nearly eight points, six rebounds and six assists during the tournament. Brown begins his career at Emporia State as a starter. In his first game for the Hornets, Brown he grabbed eight rebounds.

ESU TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Coach Shaun Vandiver is in his second year of coaching at Emporia State and he is coming off of a 9-18 record last season. Seniors Taylor Euler and Chris Sights are the only returning starters for the Hornets, both of them shot over 40 percent from three-point range last season. Eight newcomers fill out the Emporia State roster, including freshman Terence Moore who was a high school teammate of Perry Ellis at Wichita Heights. Of the five Emporia State players, Wright, Brown and Shaw are new to the program. Emporia State began their season on Sunday with a loss (60-49) to Tulsa and new coach Danny Manning.
Freshman Terrence Moore
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Can Emporia State avoid the distraction of playing in Allen Fieldhouse?
Moore came off the bench and provided energy for Emporia State against Tulsa. Moore scored 12 points, had four steals and showed aggressive playmaking ability. With Kansas freshman Perry Ellis as his teammate, Moore helped lead Wichita Heights to their fourth consecutive Class 6A State championship. Wichita Heights won 60 straight games with Moore and Ellis both being involved in every game of the streak.

HEAR YE. HEAR YE
Emporia State has seven players on their roster from the state of Kansas. For many of them playing at Allen Fieldhouse is a lifelong dream. The Hornets can't afford to get caught up in the distractions of the environment; if they do, it will lead to turnovers and fast breaks for the Jayhawks. Emporia State will need to be aggressive. They can't let "the Phog" intimidate them.

What if we should get back together?
No one is immune from wondering, "What if?" Pretty much on a weekly basis, stories surface about celebrities who break up and make up in a cyclical fashion, with one of the most prominent examples being John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston. The pair shared an on-again, off-again relationship four years ago but finally called it quits after a number of breakups in late 2009, and Mayer was alleged to have seriously struggled with the aftermath. Still today, Mayer is no stranger to breaking up then making up, and lately he has reportedly been pretty cozy with Katy Perry.
Especially because of tabloids like People Magazine and Us Weekly Magazine, "average man" stories like Mayer and Aniston's come straight out of Island's all the time, and, as expected, they never seem to be relevant to us. But while the Golden Coast may seem like a world away, some couples on our own campus tend to follow suit in our own
I think if I splashed around in the Chi O fountain, I'd come out looking like a smurf.

Even in the non-celebrity world, relationships deal with the same issues. Early last week I had a late lunch back home in Wichita with an old crush and senior prom date from high school. I had hardly seen him in the past year, but over my Caesar salad and his hummus, it was as if we rewound almost five years, talking like we were back together every day in German IV.
ever-changing relationships.
In high school I didn't try to pursue anything with him because he stayed back home for college while I left for Lawrence, and after a long-distance relationship from there to Flagstaff, Ariz., I desired something closer to home. So then after Prom ended, I half-lied and said I wasn't interested. And then that was it.

Even though he and I never dated or anything close, I still casually wondered the forbidden question, "What if?"
If we date once (or even did as little as prom dates) and want to rekindle the connection weeks,
months or even years later, what should we really consider if we're thinking about taking a chance with round two? When I went searching for the answer, Cosmopolitan Magazine UK and popular dating blog The Frisky offered plenty of words of wisdom. Here, I give you four of them.
more heartbreak in the end and can leave you with a lot more than you bargained for.
If the chemistry or your sex life when you finally broke up the first time wasn't exactly one for the ages, let it go. It's not like learning to fight — if you're still not getting it right after a month or two, it's probably not going to happen. Relationships without chemistry are doomed from the start, so cut your losses and forget it.
First, it sounds simple but can be hard to really believe when you're living in the moment: If you or the person you're trying to rekindle the relationship with is already in another, steer clear. The idea of getting someone back no matter what is exciting, but this kind of barrier frequently leads to
Ask your friends. Especially true for those friends who were there the first time, peers are not unbiased about how your old relationship looked on the outside. However, if they can still vouch for your ex even post-breakup, it may be worth it to try to bring the relationship back to life.
Finally, consider if you can really be at peace with your past so you can try again in the future. If you want to rekindle the relationship, there's inherently something you aren't over, but a grudge always needs to be laid to rest before
dating the second time. You can't cover up a grudge with a new relationship. With time it'll only rear its ugly head again.
Sober me; too sober to dance. Drunk me;
too drunk to dance.
But until that point, there's nothing wrong with trying again with something that was good, so never mind the recycled relationship naysavers and just let it ride.
Even though some relationships truly need to perish for the sake of everyone involved, some can be good enough to take a shot another time around. If you try to resuscitate it and it doesn't budge, though, let it die and move on for real.
The anti abortion campaign on Watson is the least convincing movement I have seen on campus.
You might be surprised with what you get the second time around.
Put your life on autopilot
LIFESTYLE
Rachel Keith is a graduate student in education from Wichita. Follow her on Twitter @Rachel UDKeith.
College can burn us out. Exams, classes, and papers all stacking up at the same time can be exhausting. It can be physically wearing, of course, but it is mainly mentally draining. And if you have ever stared at a computer screen, trying hard to do the homework you have due, but have found yourself dragged to Facebook or Youtube, you know what I am talking about.
When that sort of mental exhaustion happens, we cannot think creatively anymore. It feels like our capacity to decide is diminished, and that we are kind of powerless. But what has really happened? Has our will power left us?
Praveen Kumar
By Arnobio Morelix amorelix@kansan.com
As weird as it sounds, turns out it is pretty much that. Scientist Roy Baumeister from Florida State University has shown that our mental power can quite literally abandon us. He calls it "ego depletion," and the way it works is actually fairly simple. We all have a certain level of mental energy to make our decisions throughout the day, and we use this mental energy for every conscious decision in our lives, from the most sophisticated and important to the most mundane. So, every time we decide on what to wear, what to eat, or whether we should or shouldn't check what is going on Facebook, our mental energy is being used. And the very same energy is the one you will use to make the more important
decisions of your life.
So how do we deal with it? There is a solution. Have you ever wondered how some people — from politicians, to artists, to executives — can accomplish so much more with the same 24 hours a day we all have? Putting their lives on autopilot is one of their secrets. They automate mundane activities, and save their mental energy for the really important ones.
According to Vanity Fair, President Obama himself said, "You'll see I wear only gray or blue suits. I'm trying to pare down decisions. I don't want to make decisions about what I'm eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make." In a similar fashion, Robert Pozen from the Harvard Business School defends the same principle: put things that are unimportant on autopilot, and save your mental energy for situations and people that really matter.
Of course, putting things on autopilot can be pretty easy for the president or for a Harvard executive. They can have a personal
assistant to do all the unimportant stuff for them. But how do we broke college students do it?
One of the ways of auto-piloting your daily activities is deciding the night before what will you eat for breakfast and what clothes you will wear for classes. Another way of saving your mental energy for important things is getting done most of the priority tasks on your to do list first before moving into less demanding or less important activities. Getting rid of energy draining distractions also help. For instance, I changed my Facebook password to a really complicated one that I do not know by heart, and I have to copy it from a text document in my flash drive when I want to login. Since then, I have been using it much less (once every two days, typically).
When I talk about putting life on autopilot I get some weird looks. It might sound like I am suggesting we all turn into robots that do not live life consciously. But, in fact, it is the exact opposite. Automating the mundane, unimportant aspects of our lives is a liberating exercise, and frees our minds and conscience to experience and live the important aspects of life fully.

CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
SOCIAL MEDIA
More of the same was shown in the second debate. It was more of good old Romney saying a simple statement that basically blew up Twitter. When Romney was discussing the diversity of women in the workforce, specifically the search for qualified women to fill his cabinet when he was the governor of Massachusetts, he said, "I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks,' and they brought us whole binders full of women." The response over social media was comical. There were two main Twitter accounts started, both with the same title of "Romney's Binder," which gained upwards of 40,000 combined followers. Also, a fake Facebook account titled, "Binders Full of Women" was launched that currently stands at 352,000 likes. But the area of social media where Romney's comments really blew
unk
In the first debate, the only thing the republican nominee had to say on the subject of cutting the deficit was Big Bird. In context, Mitt Romney was discussing how he would cut funding to PBS to help with the federal deficit. PBS, of course, houses the television show "Sesame Street," as well as the character Big Bird. Immediately after he said that he would fire Big Bird, a firestorm hit the Twitter and Facebook. According to USA Today, the firestorm on Twitter generated 17,000 tweets per minute during the debate. Also, Twitter mock accounts were started and as a result, caused the large yellow creature to make an appearance on "Saturday Night Live."
Twitter shows voter reactions immediately
What are you more excited about: Tuesday's #kubball game or Halloween on Wednesday? And why?
Follow us on Twitter @UDK. Opinion.
Tweet us your opinions, and we just might publish them.
What is so awe-inspiring about these incidents is just how much the American people are drawn into this election, and it shows in the evidence of social media. In the first debate there was a record 10 million tweets, plus another 7.2 million tweets in the second debate. This shows you that we as people and especially this new generation of younger minds, are paying attention to the election. The only thing we can hope for is that the influx of social media will correlate to the polls, and as a result, go out and vote.
Phillippe is a senior majoring in American studies from Keller, Texas.
The fascinating thing about Twitter is its effect on live events. With all of the millions of users that are on Twitter, many Americans have the ability to be involved. They can follow their favorite tweeters and without even watching the event as it is on the air, can affect it by retweeting and sharing information that goes on. This is power, and it so amazing to see the technology created in America having a positive effect on the history and the future of our great nation.
No matter what your political affiliation is, we all can be sure that social media has helped define this presidential race. The debates are a prime example, where analysis by everyday people was given through the social media giant Twitter.

FOOTBALL
Evaluating the Big 12 at season halfway point
BIG STICK
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oklahoma State players take the field at the start of an NCAA college football game against TCU in Stillwater, Okla., Oct. 27, 2012.
ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO
the Big 12 season is halfway done, with every team having played at least four league games, and this Saturday shapes up as a big one for teams across the conference.
Here's a glimpse at what's ahead, starting with the meaningful games this weekend:
There have been plenty of surprises so far, none bigger than Kansas State being picked to finish sixth in the preseason poll and instead standing third in the country and second in the BCS.
CAN KANSAS STATE CLOSE IT OUT?
Bill Snyder's Wildcats (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) can eliminate nearly all the drama in the conference title race by winning at home against Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1). With a victory Saturday night, K-State would then have to lose two of its remaining three games against TCU, Baylor and Texas to short of the conference championship.
Every game is huge at this point for any team in the national title chase but while this one may not get the same billing as the last two — against West Virginia and Texas Tech — the champion Cowboys pose the most direct threat to Kansas State claiming the conference crown. OSU doesn't need help from anyone else, but would have to win four straight games against ranked teams.
"I think they know that we have the opportunity to control our own destiny but they also feel like we're certainly not in any position to look beyond the next game," coach Mike Gundy said Monday.
"We're getting ready to play the second-ranked team in the country and we'll have our hands full just traveling up to Manhattan."
None of the teams left on the Wildcats' schedule are currently in the Top 25.
"They've got a great chance to run the table. 'They're definitely one of the better teams in the country,' Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said, having lost 55-24 at K-State on Saturday.
WILL WEST VIRGINIA REBOUND?
"They're more like an SEC team than a Big 12 team, he play defense, how they play offense, so I think they've got a great chance."
Not long ago, the Mountaineers (5-2) were preseason favorites and quarterback Geno Smith was the Heisman Trophy front-runner. Now, they're practically afterthoughts.
Dana Holgorsen and Co. had an off week to pick up the pieces and will host fellow Big 12 newcomer TCU on Saturday.
"There was a pretty good sense of urgency last week. The attention to detail tends to pick up when you get beat, if the makeup of your team is what you want it to be," Holorsen said.
Holgorsen said he thinks players can forget their fundamentals during the grind of the season and the off week was a good chance to re-focus.
"There's a whole bunch of good 5-2 football teams out there. Just because we've dropped the last two doesn't mean that we're a bad football team," he said.
WHO'S PLAYING QUARTERBACK?
While there has been steady play at the top from the likes of Klein, Texas Tech's Seth Doege and Oklahoma's Landry Jones, there's been more shuffling than usual at the quarterback position in the Big 12.
Injuries forced Oklahoma State to replace Wes Lunt with J.W. Walsh
and then bring Lunt back last week. TCU went with Trevone Boykin after Casey Pachall was arrested and suspended indefinitely.
And then there were the changes related to effectiveness: Kansas switched from Notre Dame transfer Dayne Crist to Michael Cummings and a run-based attack, and Iowa State started with Steele Jantz, then turned to Jared Barnett and then back to Jantz in time for him to set career-highs with 381 yards passing and five TDs in a win over Baylor.
"He was not doing some things effective enough, and that's why we made a change at one point this season, but 4-1 as a starter is pretty dang good," coach Paul Rhoads
said. "I think it's overshadowed by the fact that he had his best game as an Iowa State Cyclone this Saturday night."
Texas coach Mack Brown announced Monday that he was sticking with David Ash, even after Case McCoy replaced him for the game-winning drive against Kansas.
WHO'S HEADED WHERE IN THE POSTSEASON?
Kansas State, Texas and Texas Tech are already bowl eligible and another five teams are sitting on five wins, hoping to qualify for the postseason this week — Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU and West Virginia.
It's all but impossible at this point to project who will end up where among the league's six bowl partners, with the potential for two to make the BCS.
"We're trying to get one more ballgame so that we can get the extra practices and get to a bowl game," TCU's Gary Patterson said. "And if you can get to six, then you're going to try to get to seven. If you get to seven, then you try to get to eight."
WHO WILL FINISH LAST?
Kansas dropped its 16th straight conference game Saturday, falling just short when Texas scored with 12 seconds left for a 21-17 win. But the Jayhawks (1-7, 1-0) can climb

Rory McIlroy defeats Tiger Woods at exhibition match in China
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
Woods thinks he'll have plenty of chances to get revenge.
ZHENGZHOU, China — Rory McIlroy outdied Tiger Woods in the first one-on-one exhibition match between golfs two biggest names.
Mclroy shot a 5-under 67 to beat Woods by one stroke in an 18-hole match between the two top-ranked golfers at the Jinshi Lake Golf Club in central China on Monday.
"This is certainly not like most Mondays. To have this many people come out and watch us play golf in an exhibition was something special. This doesn't happen," Woods said. "As far as doing something like this down the road, it would be fun."

The event, dubbed "Duel at Jinsha Lake," marked the first time the two golfers had played head-to-head
without other competitors. It probably won't be the last.

Woods said hed relish the chance to take on McIlroy more often to create a rivalry at the top of the game similar to the one between Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray that have made men's tennis so exciting in recent years.
Tiger Woods of the United States, left, and Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, right, hold their trophies with Feng Change, chairman of Harmony Group, after their 18-hole medal-match at the Lake Jinsha Golf Club in Zhengzhou, in central China's Henan province.
"If you look at the history of the game, it's not like other sports where the guys play against each other all the time. Jack (Nicklaus) and Arnold (Palmer) didn't go at it that often," Woods said. "But you know what, if we can do this for the next 10, 15 years, then certainly we can have that type of rivalry."
"I think having matches like this to promote the game of golf is what it's all about. We're trying to promote the game of golf in this region and it's
come a long way since my first time here 11 years ago."
Both players competed elsewhere Sunday and had to make long journeys to Zhengzhou, an industrial city in China's Henan province. McIroy finished second to Peter Hanson in the European Tour's BMW Masters at Shanghai, while Woods tied for fourth in the PGA Tour's CIMB Classic in Malaysia.
Mclroy, who captured the PGA Championship in August for his second major, said the win over Woods offered some consolation for his defeat Sunday when he surged back from four shots down against Hanson only to lose by one stroke in the end.
Mellroy took an early lead with two birdies on the first three holes and on beat Woods, who had two bogeys to go along with his six birdies for the day. The 14-time major winner finished with a 68.
"It’s been a nice distraction to not dwell on what happened yesterday. I let a great chance to win a golf tournament slip through my fingers," McIlroy said. "Coming to do something like this today has definitely made it a little easier to deal with."
After falling two strokes behind on the front nine. Woods hit a perfect chip shot from the fairway on the par-3 12th hole that hit the pin and dropped in for birdie, bringing him within one shot of the Northern Irishman.
Woods made birdie on the 14th hole to pull within a stroke again, but he missed his final chance to level the score on the 18th when he misplayed his approach shot and landed in a bunker, muttering "where did that go?"
However, he then missed a long putt for par on the next hole, set for bogey, while McIlroy sank a 7-footer for par.
The first head-to-head matchup between Woods and McIlroy — at the eight-player World Golf Final in Turkey this month — was far more
one-sided. Woods shot 7- under 64 to defeat the Northern Irishman by six strokes in a group match at the exhibition event.
China has lured a number of the world's top players with lucrative inceptions in the past few years as part of an effort to grow the sports popularity and market a bevy of new celebrity-designed courses.

THE MORNING BREW Chiefs need to land an elite quarterback in next draft
If you weren't already convinced, the Kansas City Chiefs must take a quarterback first in next year's NFL Draft.
The Chiefs have awful numbers so far this year. They are the league worst in important categories that would scare any fan with more fumbles and interceptions than any other team in the league, and they have the worst turnover differential at negative 15.
Who handles the ball on every play? The quarterback, and that is where the central problem lies.
According to the NFL analysis website, Cold Hard Football Facts, the team that wins the turnover battle wins 85 percent of its games. Also, the team with the higher quarterback rating, a statistic analyzing total QB production, has a winning percentage of 87 percent. If the ball is in the hands of the quarterback, the game is in the
Clearly, this is where Kansas City is very far behind its counterparts and must address the issue in the NFL Draft.
hands of the quarterback.
How have teams with rookie quarterbacks fared this year?
Five rookie quarterbacks currently start in the NFL. Last year, those teams without these quarterbacks won just 30 percent of their games. This year, after addressing their problem and acquiring a quarterback, the winning percentage of those teams rose to 45 percent.
Of the five teams currently with either one or two wins, Kansas City and Jacksonville are the only two that would likely take a quarterback. If KC can continue its torrid pace of virtually handing the ball to its opponents three times a game, they will likely obtain a prime spot in next year's draft. A spot in the

top five would surely give them a chance to take an elite quarterback and finally fix the problem.
The Kansas City Chiefs have to make the right choice in the next NFL draft.
The New England Patriots slammed the St. Louis Rams this weekend, 45-7. No real news from the box score there, but the real story is where
BRADFORD TAKES CUE FROM SOCCER IN UK
the game was played: London.
A crowd packed into Wembley Stadium, the home of England's national soccer team, to enjoy the American game in their home country. It was the Patriots second visit to London for a game, and it appeared as if they were pretty comfortable with their surroundings. The fans loved the excitement, despite a few ironies going against the home crowd's culture.
The Patriots are named after the group who rebelled against England in the American Revolution. Clearly there is not an atmosphere of bitterness, but it is interesting that New England has made two tris across the pond and won.

During one play in the first half, Rams quarterback Sam Bradford was knocked down hard after throwing a pass. Bradford rolled around on the ground displaying obvious pain and drew the St.
Louis training staff on to the field. The Rams called a timeout after the play, but then Sam Bradford is running back onto the field, calm and collected, to continue the Rams drive. Soccer is known for its flopping – where players cry out when fouled and then are perfectly fine after the call has been made.

It seems as if Bradford took some notes from the soccer played in Wembley Stadium.

Okla. State improves defensively halfway through season
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The plan was for the unit to buy time for an offense led by a freshman quarterback.
STILLWATER, Okla. — Entering the season, an experienced defense was supposed to be Oklahoma State's strength.
It's taken longer than coach Mike Gundy and defensive coordinator Bill Young wanted, but the defense seems to be rounding into form as Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1 • Big 12) heads into arguably its biggest challenge of the season — a trip to the Little Apple to face No. 3 Kansas State (8-0, 5-0) and its Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Collin Klein on Saturday.
In starting the season 2-2, the Cowboys surrendered 59 points to Arizona and 41 to Texas, losing
both games. Since then, for the first time in its big 12 history, Oklahoma State has held three straight league opponents under 20 points in wins over Kansas (20-14), Iowa State (31-10) and TCU (36-14).
"We've gotten more pressure on the quarterback from the edges over the last couple of weeks and that helps," Gundy said. "We've had more hurries. Our secondary has increased its ability to play the football while the ball is in the air over the last two or three weeks. We still have a ways to go, but we're much better now than we were a month ago."
Young and his players credit several factors for the Cowboys' defensive resurgence — better attention to detail, improved tackling, allowing fewer big plays and forcing more turnovers.
"Arizona, we flat out played terrible," defensive end Cooper Bassett said. "Against Texas, our defense played really well for three quarters and in the fourth quarter, for some reason, we kind of imploded. We didn't make the plays. We weren't fundamentally sound. Because of that, we lost the games. The biggest thing for us the past few weeks, is we were able to be fundamentally sound and we were able out a full game together."
Added cornerback Justin Gilbert: "It's knowing your job, carrying out your assignments and not trying to do more than what you're supposed to do and trusting in your teammates and believing they'll be in the position that they're supposed to be in."
Much of Oklahoma State's early defensive struggles could be traced
to a lack of turnovers. After leading the Bowl Subdivision last season with 44 takeaways, the Cowboys
managed only four in their first five games before forcing two a gainst Iowa State and three a gainst Texas Christian.

TCU, the turnovers proved key as Oklahoma State held the Horned Frogs without a point on their final 11 possessions after TCU took a 14-0 lead.
Young said the Cowboys want
a lot of room to improve. We're not there yet."
Klein and Kansas State pose a unique challenge to any defense. The multifaceted quarterback has moved into Heisman Trophy
contention thanks to his ability to run or throw the football. He's tied for the Big 12 lead in touchdowns scored with 12. He has two triple-digit rushing efforts this season and ranks fifth in the league in rushing, but also leads the Big
12 in pass efficiency and hasn't thrown an interception in 106 pass attempts.
Gundy said Klein has improved his passing this season, making him more dangerous.
"It looks like to me he's worked really hard in the offseason on his accuracy on his downfield throws," Gundy said. "They give him the time and his accuracy is considerably better, in my opinion, than it would have been a year ago."
Klein and the Wildcats ran wild at Oklahoma State last year, nearly pulling off the upset before then.No. 3-ranked Cowboys held on for a 52-45 win. Not long after the game, the most powerful earthquake ever in Oklahoma - magnitude 5.6 - was felt in the Stillwater area.

Baylor coach sees two goals for victory over Jayhawks
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
With the Big 12 season halfway over, the Baylor Bears and the Kansas Jayhawks are both looking for their first victory in conference play.
Baylor is 0-4 in conference play and Kansas is 0-5. The teams face off this weekend in Waco, Texas.
Baylor coach Art Briles said losing in conference play hasn't affected the team.
"What you can't do is let it beat you down," Briles said. "You have to move forward. You have to move forward and have faith. The kids are pretty resilient and they don't all the time look at the big picture."
Defeating the Jayhawks is the place to start for Baylor to move
forward and be bowl eligible.
Brites said that Kansas is a good football team with great players and coaches.
"They are capable of beating anyone on any day just like everyone else in this league is," Brites said.
In order to win this weekend Baylor must limit turnovers and get the ball to star senior wide receiver Terrance Williams.
The Bears have had 17 turnovers on the year, 12 of those in their last three games.
Briles said he doesn't know how to limit the turnovers,but it's a problem the coaching staff and players are aware of.
"I think sometimes you get in situations trying to extend the play and you get a little risky with the football," Briles said. "It's all situational and awareness."
And then there is Williams. He has been virtually unstoppable for most defenses this year. He has caught 60 passes for 1,203 yards and scored nine touchdowns.
Briles said Williams has greatly benefited from playing with NFL players like Josh Gordon and Kendall Wright. They showed him how hard he had to work off the field in
order to see playing time.
"I think he's proven himself to one of the best in America by his work ethic on the field and his production on the field," Briles said. "We have a lot of confidence in throwing him the football. And he's been very productive when we do it."

Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree and junior setter Erin McNorton jump in attempt to block a spike. Kansas defeated West Virginia 3-0 to capture its 20th win of the season.
gcalvert@kansan.com
Behind middle blocker Tayler Tolefree's 10 kills and 1,000 hitting percentage, the Kansas Jayhawks swept West Virginia to reach 20 wins in a season for the first time since 2003.
Another middle blocker, junior Caroline Jarmoc, also finished the match with 10 kills and no errors. It was the first time in seven matches both Jarmoc and Tolefree finished with double-digit kills in a match.
"I feel like I've struggled being consistent this season," Tolefree said. "For me it was just kind of a sigh of relief that, ok, I can be an offensive force, now work on being consistent."
Kansas had no problem playing consistently all night, never letting the Mountaineers seriously threaten to win a set. The Jayhawks jumped out to early leads in each of the first three sets, and West Virginia never could respond. There were only five ties and two lead changes during the three-set match.
In its previous match Wednesday against Iowa State, Kansas conceded five service aces in the first
set and seven during the match. West Virginia entered the match third in the Big 12 in serving with 1,430 service aces per set. However

Riley said Kansas' passing set the tone for the rest of the Jayhawks'
"When our team is passing to target it gets our hitters going and we're pretty unstoppable at the net," Riley said.
Kansas was so unstopable that coach Ray Bechard began putting in his reservoir during the first set. Juniors Kara Wehrs, Jessie Allen and Marianne Beal and Sylvia Bullock all earned their most playing time of the season during the match. Each of them earned either a kill or a block, and Beal's kill won the match.
"At one point I turned to Beal and she was like, 'It's fun playing.' Tolefree said. "I like watching them come in and the look on their faces. They didn't look nervous at all."
One of Kansas' weak points this season has been its tendency to feel out the opponent's style of play in the first set and react accordingly, instead of coming out and implementing its own style of play. Kansas was able to use its reserves
against West Virginia because the starters were ready to play in set one, focusing on its own side of the net instead of what West Virginia would try to do. Bechard said it was important for his team to start strong so West Virginia wouldn't be able to steal a victory.
"They've taken a lot of sets on a lot of different Big 12 teams, including us when we played at their place," Bechard said. "We wanted to control our side of the net and not be lulled into whatever their execution was on their side.
Kansas next plays on Saturday in Waco, Texas against Baylor at 7 p.m.

SAN FRANCISCO — For the second time in three years, San Francisco is gearing up for a ticker-tape parade to celebrate a World Series victory for the Giants.
Plans for the Wednesday bash were being made as the city cleaned up after a rowdy celebration Sunday night turned
violent in some neighborhoods and police arrested three dozen people.
"I'm not going to let the spirit of this city be destroyed by 36 people," Mayor Ed Lee said.
The parade will take a slightly different route from the one that followed the Giants' 2010 championship. Instead of the financial district, it will start at the foot of Market Street.

THE UNIVERSITY DAHY KANSAN S sports
Men's Basketball kicks off tonight Page 8
COMMENTARY
With the talent the layhawks have, they should be able to beat Emporia State in their sleep. So Regardless of how Kansas plays, they shouldn't have to sweat out the final result.
The Jayhawks' defense has ranked in the top 10 in opponent's shooting percentage every year since Self arrived in Lawrence. With seniors Jeff Withey, Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson back to reprise their starting roles, they shouldn't have much trouble defensively against Emporia State. The Hornets don't have much height, and those with height are inexperienced.
Even though the Jayhawks' talent level will probably allow them to blow Emporia State out, perhaps the more important statistics will be assists and both teams' shooting percentage.
Bill Self said another one of his forwards, redshirt freshman Jamari Traylor, is just as athletic as Thomas Robinson was. So how well will Traylor live up to that comparison in his first taste as a Jayhawk? The new crop of guards will be led by redshirt freshman Ben McLemore, who self said reminds him an awful lot of Brandon Rush. Judging by Rush's unselfishness, offensive efficiency and championship ring during his time as a Jayhawk, that's not a bad comparison. And speaking of good shooters, Andrew White III has been said to have one of the purest shooting strokes on the team. Tonight, we'll see.
Don't measure the men's basketball team by the final score tonight.
— Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk
The Jayhawks will improve in all aspects of the game by the time March rolls around. Every team will. But Michigan State awaits Kansas in the Georgia Dome Nov. 13. So instead of tonight being a meaningless walkthrough, look beyond the score to view tonight's game as a barometer for the showdown in Atlanta.
No, Bill Self won't unveil the whole playbook, or introduce many new wrinkles in the offense, but tonight's exhibition will be a fair barometer of where the team's chemistry stands. The important thing isn't the score, but how Kansas looks as a team.
Offensively, ball distribution will show the Jayhawks' cohesiveness. If they are able to score 100 points, but it comes from Emporia State's turnovers or from the sizable talent gap between the two teams, we still won't learn much about Kansas' offense. But if most of Kansas' buckets come off assists, maybe the young Jayhawks are ahead of schedule in terms of chemistry and players beginning to find their roles.
Judge team by performance
By Geoffrey Calvert
By Geoffrey Calvert gcalvert@kansan.com
Looking at the assists and shooting percentage statistics is important because Kansas doesn't have much time before it faces a high-quality opponent. The Jayhawks play No. 14 Michigan State in two weeks in Atlanta as a part of the Champions Classic. When Kansas faced Kentucky last November in Madison Square Garden, the Wildcats' raw talent beat Kansas' because the Jayhawks had not met yet as a team.
So how well will the new guys mesh with the three returning starters? Freshman forward Perry Ellis figured to begin the year by backing up senior forward Kevin Young, but with Young out for about two weeks after breaking a bone in his hand, Ellis will have an early opportunity to make a case for starting permanently for the Jayhawks.

THE WAIT IS OVER
Freshman Jamari Traylor finally starts against Emporia State tonight
KANSAS

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Freshman forward Jamari Traylor talks to reporters reporters during Media Day at Allen Fieldhouse on Oct. 13.
ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com
First, he waited to find out if he would be eligible to play last season. Then, he waited a semester to be eligible to practice with the team.
Even after he was cleared to practice, the closest hed get to a game was going one-on-one against All-American forward Thomas Robinson in practice every day.
From the first time he stepped foot on the Kansas campus last fall, freshman Jamari Traylor had to wait.
But tonight, Traylor's wait finally ends.
Traylor will finally be on James Naismith Court competing against players who are not wearing the crimson and blue of Kansas across their chest when the official tosses the ball up in the air for the tip off of the Kansas men's basketball team's opening exhibition game against Emporia State.
Traylor get's his opportunity to start because senior Kevin Young underwent surgery on Friday after breaking his hand in practice. Kansas is counting on Traylor to fill Young's role as the high-energy guy on the team.
"I've been waiting for a full year," Traylor said. "I definitely want to get out there. Late night was a great experience for me, when I went out there, it was like a weight lifted, and this is just another weight lifted."
Through the first few weeks of the jayhawks' practice, Traylor has fulfilled this role. He said he thinks of himself as a spark plug when he's on the court.
"What I want to see Jamari do, is be able to do it in the game
and not just practice." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "There's no pressure in practice. If you miss a shot it's no big deal. That kind of situation, he's never been in a game. Jamari's just played one year of basketball really ever and so we talk about kids from overseas coming over and only been playing two or three years. He's plowed less than those kids."
Self is also hoping that some of the younger players will pick up on Traylor's energy, and they incorporate that high-energy, aggressive mindset into their game.
"He goes hard all the time." Freshman Perry Ellis said. "He's doing everything as hard as he can, so it's something I'll definitely be watching."
Ellis was the other player in the running for the starting spot and Self said he would be the first forward to come of the bench.
The other freshman joining Traylor in the starting lineup is Ben McLemore, who like Traylor, had to sit out last season after the NCAA ruled both players only partial-academic qualifiers, and therefore ineligible to play.
While McLemore was a considerably more heralded recruit coming out of high school, he still has yet to play in his first collegiate game as well.
"My family is coming up to see me play for the first time in front of 16 thousand fans," McLemore said. "I'm very excited, I can not wait."

FOOTBALL
Weis turns attention toward Baylor
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
For the Kansas layahwks football team, Sunday is not a day of rest.
After every loss this season, the Jayhawks have been able to use the Sunday practice to wash away the negativity of the previous week and get back to work. But after losing to Texas on a last-second touchdown, this loss was a little harder to shake off.
"There's no hiding this is the most disappointed we've been all year," coach Charlie Weis said on Monday's teleconference call. "That was the feeling walking in the building and at least by the time they left practice they had gotten that kind of out of their system."
With a clear system it becomes easier to look back on a game that should have been won. James Sims continued dominating Big 12 defenses, gaining 176 yards on Saturday. Redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Cummings made some big time completions under pressure, and the Jayhawks defense forced two turnovers, while limiting the Longhorns to just 21 points.
Weis and the team only care about wins and losses though, but if they were looking to see progress out of this year's squad, they don't need to look any further. After all,
Kansas got whipped by Texas last year, losing 43-0 and only gaining 46 yards in Austin.
Texas coach Mack Brown said he fully expects the jayhawks to beat somebody at home this season. With Iowa State the only remaining game at Memorial Stadium, Brown didn't need to be any more clear. Yet before the Cyclones visit Lawrence on November 17th, Kansas has to make two trips to the state of Texas, starting with Baylor.
“Are there silver limbs? Yes there are,” Weis said. “But it still comes down to you lost 100 in a row in the Big 12 and you need to beat somebody so you can start moving that trend in another direction.”
"There's no hiding this is the most disappointed we've been all year."
"The games they've lost has been greatly attributed to a large
It would seem that Dave Campo has more work to do than Weis this week. Kansas may have caught it's first break on offense, but the attack of Baylor's passing
The Bears might be on a four game losing streak, but it's not because they aren't scoring. Baylor averages 44-points per game and has the nations best passing game. For good measure, Kansas ranks 58th in pass defense. Instead the problem for the Bears is a defense that has taken the Jayhawks' title of being the worst in the FBS, allowing over 550 vards per game.

number of turnovers," Weis said. "If we can't get turnovers we'll be in a little bit of danger, cause we haven't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard."
game should be enough to keep the Jayhawks focused.
Even though Baylor and Kansas are both searching for conference wins this season, the Bears
ability to put up a lot of points makes them dangerous to every opponent. just ask West Virginia and Texas, who allowed 63 and 50 points respectively by Baylor. The difference is that those teams had the offensive firepower to overcome it. Meanwhile Kansas is only averaging 17 points per game, and will need to be able to keep up with Baylor if they score in bunches.
— Edited by Andrew Ruszczyk
"They'vegot such great offensive firepower and there's a lot of shootouts," Weis said. "Shootouts really aren't advantageous to us. We're going to have to change the mentality of the game for us to have a chance of winning."

When you are putting on a costume tonight, grab an extra form of identification.
Halloween is a night for students to dress up as something else, but some bars may ask disguised partygoers for a second form of ID to make sure students are legal.
"If they have face paint or fake moustaches and things like that on, we usually ask for a second ID," said Jay Rhodes, the manager at Brother's Bar and Grill, at 1105 Massachusetts St.
"If you're wearing a mask, you're going to have to take it off at the door," Rhodes said. "Most people are pretty patient, because obviously if you don't do it, you're not getting in."
Other bars, like the Jayhawk Café, at 1340 Ohio St., are also planning on taking extra precautions tonight. It's a normal "dollar night," and Aaron Kaufman, a manager, said he expects it to be one-in, one-out.
A second ID is anything the bar can match your name and picture to, like a student ID or a debit card.
Rhodes said he expects lots of dressed up patrons because they are hosting a costume party.
control, but employees will be watching for any signs of aggression.
Shawn Pieschl, a junior from Stilwell, works the door at a Lawrence bar and remembers identifying people in costume last year.
"It's probably easier to sneak in if you are in costume, but there are certain features you can't change." Pieschl said. "A lot of times people use similar faces, but the height and weight will be completely off or the eyebrow shape is different."
"Don't get obliterated, and just pay attention," Pieschl said. "I remember there being a lot of creepers, and everyone will be in disguise, so it's hard to tell who is who."
The Lawrence Police Department does not have any special patrols planned, but Trent McKinley, an LPD spokesman, said officers will be encouraged to spend more time in the streets.
Pieschl said he didn't remember any fights last year but cautioned
"People really need to be careful driving," McKinley said. "You always need a designated driver, but with there being more people
out in the streets and with everybody dressed in dark clothing, it really does produce a great danger."
And while it's important to remember that second ID, McKinley said it's most important to remember your common sense.

"People need to remember not to drive with costumes on. You can't see as well." McKinley said. "If you're walking, take extra time to look. Really, just common sense kind of things."

Four people reported they were robbed at gunpoint at 10:30 p.m. Monday at The Grove Apartments, 4301 West 24th Place.
They opened the door of the apartment and at least three suspects pushed their way inside with bandanas covering their faces, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence Police Department spokesman. Two of the suspects had firearms, including a shotgun, and forced the victims to
get on the ground.
McKinley said the suspects demanded cash, electronics and drugs, and they fled after receiving valuables. The description of the suspects and their vehicle is not known, but anyone with information about the incident is asked to call LPD or the tips hotline at (785) 843-TIPS (8477).

Halloweenkend was deemed a success by several students. Between themed house parties and a costume contest at Brothers Bar and Grill, students had several opportunities to get into the holiday spirit.
Kait Jahanbani, a junior from
Plainfield, Ill., said Brothers Halloween party on Saturday was a great time because the costumes were creative and people sang along to the music all night.
"Students should go there because it's the most fun I've had at KU besides the basketball games," Jahbanani said.
There are several opportunities on and off campus today for students to celebrate.

DONALD D. RICO
Deon Gregory Routt, 22, escaped from a prisoner transportation van around 5.30 p.m. Monday near 23rd and Louisiana
streets and ran southeast. He was caught around 3 p.m. after officers noticed a man matching Routt's description. According to a press release, the officers attempted to approach Routt when he fled on foot near 12th and Indiana streets.
Spencer Aull, a senior from Chicago, Ill., was driving to class when he saw officers handcuffing a man on the ground.
Sgt. Trent McKinley, a LPD spokesman, said police pursued him on foot for two blocks before apprehending Routt, who was wearing different clothing.
"I thought it was weird because
he was wearing nice clothes, like a business shirt," Aull said. "He didn't look like he just broke out of anwhere."
A private security company was transporting Routt from Virginia to Colorado. Routt was convicted in 2011 of sexually assaulting a child in Colorado and was arrested after failing to register as a sex offender.
McKinley said Routt did not have any known Lawrence ties, and he escaped after the employees driving the van stopped to get food and check on the prisoners.
Officers used canine units and searched the area Routt escaped
from for hours, McKinley said, and the area near 15th Street and Haskell Avenue after Routt was spotted by a deputy.
He said LPD officers from every division of the department were organized into search teams, handed out fliers with Roult's picture and checked pedestrians matching Roult's description.
Routt sustained minor injuries during the pursuit and arrest.
"When I was watching, they lifted him up off the ground, and he was smiling." Aull said, "which I thought was very bizarre."

Hurricane Sandy bombards New York, at least 10 dead
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stripped of its bustle and mostly cut off from the world, New York was left wondering Tuesday when its particular way of life — carried by subway, lit by skyline and powered by 24-hour deli — would return.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the power company said it could be several days before the lights come on for hundreds of thousands of people plunged into darkness by what was once Hurricane Sandy.
And Bloomberg said it could be four or five days before the subway, which suffered the worst damage in its 108-year history, is running again. All 10 of the tunnels that carry New Yorkers under the East River were flooded.
Sandy killed 10 people in New York City. The dead included two who drowned in a home and one who was in bed when a tree fell on an apartment, the mayor said. A 23-year-old woman died after stepping into a puddle near a live electrical wire.
"This was a devastating storm, maybe the worst that we have ever experienced," Bloomberg said.
For the 8 million people who live here, the city was a different place one day after the storm.
In normal times, rituals bring a sense of order to the chaos of life in the nation's largest city: Stop at Starbucks on the morning walk with the dog, drop the kids off at P.S. 39, grab a bagel.
On Tuesday, those rituals were suspended, with little indication when they would come back. Schools were shut for a second day and were closed Wednesday, too.
Coffee shops, normally open as close as a block apart, were closed in some neighborhoods. New York found itself less caffeinated and curiously isolated from the world, although by afternoon it had begun to struggle back to life.
Some bridges into the city reopened at midday, but the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, connecting Brooklyn to Manhattan, and the Holland Tunnel, between New York and New Jersey, remained closed. And service on the three commuter railroads that run between the city and its suburbs was still suspended.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said bus service would be restored at 5 p.m. EDT, on a limited schedule but free. He said he hoped there would be full service on Wednesday, also free.

Demonstrators hold posters featuring Russian President Vladimir Putin and reading "FSB, You Stop It," during a protest rally in support of jailed opposition activists in Moscow, Russia, on Tuesday. FSB is a Russian acronym for the Federal Security Services.
Protesters urge activists' release
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW— Several hundred demonstrators rallied in Moscow on Tuesday to press for the release of opposition activists on the same day that Russia commemorated the victims of Soviet-era repression.
Protesters demanded that authorities free more than a dozen people who are in jail facing accusations over their role in a May protest that turned violent, among other charges. The opposition calls them "political prisoners."
President Vladimir Putin has launched a multi-pronged crackdown on dissent since being inaugurated for a third term in May. He has signed off on several repressive laws and allowed numerous arrests and searches of opposition activists.
One of the jailed activists, Leonid
Razvozzhayev, said he had been abducted from Ukraine while seeking a political asylum and smuggled back into Russia where he was tortured into confessing. Russian authorities say he turned himself in.
Participants in the rally, which ended peacefully, demanded punishment for those involved in the abduction and torture of Razvozhyay.
Leftist leader Sergei Udaltsov, who himself is facing charges of plotting riots which he has rejected as politically motivated, called on opposition supporters to keep pressing for the jailed activists' release or face a "long totalitarian winter."
district of Butovo, where some 20,000 priests, artists and other "enemies of the people" were executed at the height of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's purges.
The rally came on the day when Russia paid tribute to the victims of Soviet-era repression. Mourners attended a church service Tuesday at a former range range at Moscow's
Millions of Soviet people were sent into prison camps and either died there or were executed in mass purges that continued until Stalin's death in 1953.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev marked the day by issuing a harsh criticism of Stalin, which contrasted with a more cautious stance taken by Putin, who has restored Soviet-era symbols and tried to soften public perceptions of Stalin in the past.
MIDDLE EAST
Medvedev told members of the Kremlin's United Russia party that Stalin and his entourage committed a grave crime by "waging a war against their own people."
Airstrikes close to Syrian capital kill 18 people, level neighborhood
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Airstrikes by Syrian jets and shells from tanks leveled a neighborhood in a resive city near the capital of Damascus on Tuesday, killing 18 people, and at least five rebel fighters died in clashes with regime troops, activists said.
The airstrikes on the city of Douma, northeast of the capital, left residents scampering over a huge expanse of rubble and using their hands to dig up mangled bodies, according to activist videos posted online.
Scenes of vast destruction like those from Douma on Tuesday have
grown more common as rebels seeking to topple President on the basher Assad have made gains on the ground, and Assad's forces have responded with overwhelming air power.
In the past weeks, anti-regime activists say about 150 people have been killed a day in fighting. Since the uprising against Assad began in March 2011, they say 35,000 have died.
The death toll for what was supposed to be a four-day cease-fire ending Monday exceeded 500.
Tuesday's airstrikes came a day after what activists called the heaviest and most widespread bombing campaign nationwide on what was to be the final day of an internationally sanctioned truce that never took hold.
Activists speculated that the government's heavy reliance on air power reflected its inability to roll back rebel gains, especially in the north of the country near the border with Turkey, where rebels have control of swathes of territory.
The international community remains at a loss about how to stop the Syria violence. The U.S. and other Western and Arab nations have called on Assad to step down, while Russia, China and Iran continue to back him.

MUSIC
Electronic duo EOTO to perform at Granada
Mix masters Michael Travis and Jason Hann will perform tonight as electronic duo EOUT at the Granada. The two have embraced the festivities of the day, naming their show "EOT-Owen."
Scottie Bloomberg, a freshman from Wilmette, ill expects that having the show on Halloween will influence the energy of both EOTO and the audience.
"I feel like everyone there will be acting a lot more goofy and get really into the music." Bloomberg said.
"I've seen them twice before, and the shows were nothing alike because it is all improvised. Each time I saw them they were amazing."
Improvisation is the key factor in EOTO's popularity. They use no pre-recordings, ensuring they create a new set for each performance.
Underneath the electronic beats and womps; EOTO is essentially a jam band with roots in rock and jazz. The two incorporate live, instrumentation along with house music, dubstep and electro into each performance. Back in 2006, EOTO was formed as a side project of The String Cheese Incident, but since then the two have released
three studio albums and toured the country. According to the group's website, "EOTO has played more than seven hundred unique showcases in 48 different states in the five years since the project's inception." This show will be one of the 33 consecutive performances from the group as a part of its perennial fall tour that began in September.
Doors open at 9 p.m., and the show will run from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. Advance tickets are $25, and you must be 18 or older to attend. Costumes are highly encouraged.

Silverman adds edge to role in Disney's 'Wreck-it Ralph'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. _ There's always been something that screamed "cartoon" about potty-mouthed pixie, Sarah Silverman. Even at her most outrageous, the edgy comic's disarming, Betty Boop/ Betty Rubble voice intentionally softens that edge.
Silverman's demeanor and material, in which, as the Los Angeles Times and many others have proclaimed, "almost nothing's off limits" _ race, religion, sex and celebrity _ can be jaw-dropping. Think of her stand-up documentary "Jesus is Magic," her sexualized political ads and what she once sang to ex-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel that she was doing to Matt Damon.
But coming from a voice built for baby talk, she gets away with it.
Q; So, who called whom? Did you approach Disney, or did they pitch you?
Her most outrageous stunt yet may be her first-ever turn as an animated character in a Disney film. She's voiced more adult animation _ "The Simpsons," "Family Guy," "Futurama," "Bob's Burgers." But "Wreck It Ralph," opening Friday, is a Disney 'toon in which she plays a sassy, sugary exiled video game imp named Vanellepo Von Schweetz. And if Vanellope has a certain Silverman edge, the comic-disney-actress says that's Disney's doing.
10
Silverman: "Disney called me. They did. I have NO idea why. I was like, 'Do they only know me from 'Monk' or 'Yo Gabba Gabba' or something?' I was thrilled. Everybody loves Disney. And when I thought of it, the filthiest comedian working as I was coming up was Eddie Murphy. And he's found a home with Disney. So if he can do it, why not me?
"I mean, I have the perfect voice for animation, and a great face for radio! Haha! I've always had a voice, a pretty distinctive one - pleasing or displeasing, depending on who you are. When I hear it, I'm like 'Eeeewww, it's so NASAL'. But early on, I got a voice-over agent, and I'd go to voice-over auditions constantly _ commercials. I never got booked. Never. Then, people started hiring me for being me and I started getting all this cartoon work
We reached her in Los Angeles.
"A lot of people are asking me about this choice, and I'm like, 'Do you think I'm going to sneak (expletive deleted) into their cartoon? NO. I'm an adult. There's more than one side of me and I can certainly curb myself if they give me a script. Come on!"
Q: Well, you've provided so little evidence, up to now, that you are in fact able to curb yourself.
Silverman: "Yeah, I know. Disney's REALLY smart releasing this in an election year when I'm at my most tippy-top polarizing self! But they're still cool about it."
Silverman: "I feel so close to her. Yes, she's a 'Her.' She's an EveryWoman _ obnoxious and precocious and annoying, at first. She's this little tough girl. When people are tough, it's because they're protecting this fragile interior. She was this little rejected girl covering it with being a tough guy. A lot of people can relate to that. I know I could."
Q: Anything about Vanellope that you could identify with, as a character?
Q: And there are these Sarah Silverman touches to her lines.
A video game character with a
PAGE 4
learning disorder, she says she has "pixlexia"?
Silverman: "I love that! I'd love to take credit for it, but that's in the script. We improvised and came up with alternative lines. 'Milk My Duds.' But stuff like 'Why did the hero flush the toilet?' 'Cuz it was his DUTY?' Straight out of the script. And I loved it."
Silverman: "This comes out sandwiched between a filthy political video, and a movie ("Take This Waltz") that I'm nude in. So sure. I'm getting a LOT mellower.
Q: So is "going Disney" the sign that this is the beginning of a mellow Sarah Silverman? (She turns 42 in December).
"I'm kind of daydreaming, right now. I'm doing another stand-up special. It's been seven years, and I'm focusing on that after all these interviews Disney makes you do _ a world tour _ Wreck It Ralp' mania. That, and getting people to vote.
"I'll know what I want to do next _ a song, a show, a movie _ when it comes to me, but right now, like some voters, I'm undecided."

COLLEGE
Disrespect runs rampant on campus
The University of Kansas is an educational establishment highly revered for its prominent standards in excellence. Knowing this, would it be surprising to learn that a some KU students enter classrooms everyday displaying an extreme lack of respect? Would it be more shocking to learn that the disrespect is directed at teachers (professors, TAs, and guest speakers) who attempt to provide students with the level of excellence their education deserves? It shouldn't. Classrooms have a three-spoke wheel of disrespect that keeps on turning.
I must mention first that I'm not simply speaking as a KU student. I'm speaking as a general college student, someone who has attended multiple college campuses including Middlesex Community College in Bedford, Mass., University of Massachusetts Boston and the University here in Lawrence. I have seen disrespect stay unchanged from school to school. I
don't say the following things from a place of superiority or a place of ignorance, only from a place of experience.
The first spoke on the wheel of disrespect that remains unchanged is that students continuously show up to class late. What valid reasons are there for showing up late? Many reasons I've heard include staying up too late the night before or having to finish up an assignment right before it's due.
For those who hold excuses for being late, maybe you should assess your priorities more. Do you want the education? Are you in school to satisfy your own goals or someone else's expectations? Who's the one that's truly missing out if you show up late to class? Teachers have found success and are trying to share their wisdom with the students to propel them towards success in professional life. Students need the teacher far more than the teacher needs the students.

Teachers are not just hired at random. Teachers are hired because of their commitment to educating men and women for the future of our country. Teachers have spent many years learning and honing their crafts. Teachers spend hours every night planning and practicing lectures, writing tests and quizzes, grading papers and exams, while also attending countless meetings with other department faculty. All of this work they put in so that you, the student, can have a better chance at a future and yet the disrespect is still rampant.
This brings me to the next spoke on the wheel of disrespect: being inattentive. Many students sit in class using laptops and cell phones, blatantly ignoring their teacher. Also, there are those students who converse with each other about non-classroom matters during class time. How about you also show respect to students who come to class to learn, not to listen to you drone on about your life. Think about how it may feel if you were the teacher who took time out of your life in order to try to help someone only to have that person focus on everything but what you're saying? I highly doubt you would be unaffected.
Finally, this three-spoke wheel of disrespect is finished when students decide to pack their belongings relatively early. I use the word "relatively" because some students begin packing long before class ends. The time to leave is once class has ended. Unless there's a vital need to leave early, it
should never happen. All the bag and paper noise combined with the chatter creates a massive disturbance. Imagine trying to give advice to someone who wants help but the person, instead of listening, decides to just get up and walk away. How would you feel? You signed up to attend the class for the specified times listed on your class schedule so show up and stay for the commitment you made.
I understand people have needs outside of the classroom that may keep them from fulfilling their educational obligations, but I also know how a large number of students do act in these ways on a consistent basis. Showing disrespect to those who are trying to improve your life not only is insulting to the teachers but also insulting to the University you claim to have so much respect for.

College affordability is key
There's periodic hoopla running up until Election Day about investing in education. In a direct pitch to college students, both Obama and Romney focus on their track records of making college affordable. Obama points to the expansion of Pell Grants under his administration and how interest rates on federal loans were kept low. Romnie harks back to his Massachusetts days and how some high school graduates had full tuition scholarships. If you don't think both are targeting college students, go watch Samuel L. Jackson's "Wake Up" ad for Barack Obama.
By Chris Ouyang
This is all driven by a belief in the principle that everyone is better off if everyone has higher education. That's an incentive from both the student and U.S. government's standpoint. Students invest dollars now to try and increase their future earning potential; the U.S. government invests dollars for a more educated workforce, for innovation, and other economic benefits.
The U.S. government's current approach — grants and loans of varying interest rates — doesn't achieve these goals. Grants only target the poorest of the poor and leave the middle class to fend for themselves. Even then, a maximum $5,550 Pell Grant is only a small coupon compared to the $20,000 cost of attendance at KU, a school that falls into the affordable, in-state category. To cover the difference, the U.S. government employs loans. The structure of these loans inefficiently targets the U.S. government's goal and still doesn't make much sense. I'm going to try and use an analogy to explain why.
By Chris Ouyang couyang@kansan.com
Say we're all toy company CEOs and we need to invest borrowed money, loans, in new toy factories. The goal is to make and sell more toys. That analogy lasted two sentences because we aren't CEOs. A CEO probably runs a company that has an extensive credit history, can issue bonds to raise funds that are rated by their risk, can sell assets to generate free cash, and much more. Most importantly, the CEO can do all this because he or she has the necessary business acumen. In stark contrast, many of us are students with little to no work history, an abysmal credit score, and are dependents that cosign everything with our parents. Oh, we also lack the business acumen that makes CEOs, well, CEOs.
This is why today's federal loans don't make sense. Despite any sign of proven ability to pay back any kind of loan, the government provides 18-year-old students with, quite literally, free money for four years. There is no academic criterion for federal loans besides a 2.0 GPA. There is no credit check. You don't need a cosigner on any loan. The student lives on borrowed time paid with money that wasn't earned through skill or merit, but rather loaned based on a simple need formula and a 2.0 GPA. The U.S. government indiscriminately
hands out money and expects that minimal effort to be the catalyst for a more educated workforce.
Obama and Romney should take a hard look at the structure of federal loans. Why don't federal loan interest rates have an academic criterion, or a sliding scale based on academic performance? Does the hoodium taking remedial, quite later, middle school courses who spends every night getting plastered really deserve the same loan as the middle class girl studying education who works two jobs to make ends meet? Why don't federal loans have some kind of preference towards science, technology, engineering, and math degrees? Why can't the current program reward students who immediately find jobs with some kind of backend credit? Shouldn't the U.S. government replace grants completely with loans and instead use grant money to forgive the loans of those who made college worthwhile?
The U.S. government has to reform its approach to the affordability of higher education. Giving all students full tuition scholarships to state institutions is unsustainable, Romney. Loaning more money to students without making sure they're doing well in school and finding jobs is nonsensical, Obama.
Both need to step up and decide this current pipeline of easy credit isn't the answer.

HUMOR
Proposal for just a few Wescoe improvements
Since the University has yet to install the necessary tree update for Wescoe Beach, leaving our nice new concrete benches vulnerable to the harsh late-October sun, I have taken it upon myself to develop, devise and describe to you my plan for a new and improved Wescoe Beach.
Picture it with me; let's turn the Beach into an actual beach.
"There's no way that would ever work," the naysayers say, "It's just not a feasible course of action."
Well, to the naysayers I say, "You have no idea what you're talking about."
Think of it like this: the University removes the new shade-less benches and installs a two-foot deep wading pool spanning the length of the beach area in front of Wescoe Hall. Then, to sweeten the deal, they add a gradual decline on one end that allows a sandbar to be put in. I have some rough sketches drawn up, and let me tell you, this thing looks incredible.
Throw a few palm-fir-trees in there, a tiki bar and some lifeguard stands to watch out for drowning freshmen, and we've got a beach going. What are palm-fir-trees, you ask? Well those are another little something I've been developing. In a nutshell they're palm trees that have been genetically fused with fir trees so they stay leafy and shady year-round. It's highly innovative and experimental science, so I'll spare you the details.
I know what you're thinking, and yes, I've thought about it too. People will ask, "But Brett, what happens to the beach in the winter?" Rest easy, I have the perfect solution.
During the cold winter months the sand will be removed and the water frozen to create the University's first-ever ice skating rink. The tiki bar will become a hot chocolate cafe and ice skate rental shack, and the lifeguard stands replaced with fake snowmen. The palm-fir-trees can stay, because they're also festive for the holiday season, and will don festive holiday lights to get everyone in the mood — for holidays, that is.
I've even thought of how to finance the new "Beach Rink," as I've begun to call it. Raise student fees another five percent over the next five years, because let's face it, that's probably how long it will take the University to get around to finishing a project of this magnitude. It took three months to put the current benches into Wescoe Beach, and that was without tree installation time.
Now, none of the current students will reap the benefits of the Beach Rink, but we can take solace in the fact that we helped future University students enjoy their time between classes. Plus, think of all the students that will try to convince their professors to hold class meetings outside, only to be met with dismay when the professors deny their pleas, self-conscious of the way they look in a swimsuit.
If you're still on the fence, think about this: the implementation of the Beach Rink will create student jobs, and if you've been alive these past five years, you know it's really difficult for young people to find work in "this economy." This ultimately makes the Beach Rink a win-win, and if you oppose creating jobs while simultaneously creating happiness then you better be on the next train to Siberia, because that's the American way.
So in conclusion I say to you, "think about it." Who wouldn't love dipping their feet in the cool blue water on a hot August day, virgin daiquiri in hand, palm-fir-trees rustling overhead? And who can decry a cold winter's evening, skating to and fro hand in hand with that cutie from Western Civ? It's sure to be a hit, I promise.

TARA RRYANT/KANSAN
Senior soccer players gather on the field with their parents after Kansas' 5-0 win on Friday against Northern Colorado at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Seniors Whitney Berry, Nicole Christopulos, Cassie Dickerson, Amy Grow, Kat Liebetrau, Sarah Robbins and Shelby Williamson are preparing for what could be their last game as they head to the Big 12 Tournament in San Antonio against Tech Tech now.
Jayhawks to face the Red Raiders
INICOLE EVANS
nevans@kansan.com
After gaining momentum from Friday's victorious final game of the season, the Jayhawk soccer team travels to San Antonio to compete in the Big 12 Soccer Championship this week.
This year, Kansas finished 10-7-2 overall, concluding its season with a shutout win against Northern Colorado last week. The game ended 5-0, with five different jayhawks scoring and senior goalkeeper Kar Liebetrau earning her fourth shutout of the season.
Neither team found the net in the first half. Senior Whitney Berry initiated the scoring drive for Kansas, scoring via a pass from sophomore Jamie Fletcher in the 61st minute. Fletcher then set up freshman Ashley Williams for the Jayhawks' second goal only a few minutes later.
in the 67th minute, the jayhawks scored twice. Senior Nicole Chrisopulos scored after snagging the ball away from Northern Colorado goalkeeper Natalie
D'Adamio, Junior Caroline Kastoi capitalized on senior Sarah Robbins, bringing her to a total of 11 goals scored this season, Freshman Ali Kimura would round out the scoring drive for Kansas, scoring her first goal of the season in the 88th minute.
"I think considering all the things we've had to deal with, it's been unbelievable," coach Mark Francis said of his team's performance this season.
After ending conference play with a 3-5 record, the Jayhawks received a sixth seed spot, earning them a match against No. 3 Texas Tech on Wednesday in San Antonio.
Though the Jayhawks have played impressively this season, they need to win this conference tournament if they want to make it into the NCAA tournament, as the winner of the Big 12 Championship gains an automatic bid from the conference. Kansas has yet to win a conference postseason title.
"We want to keep playing, so it is more about extending the season," Francis said. "We're creating a lot
of opportunities right now, and the girls are playing well."
Wednesday's game could be an opportunity to avenge the 3-1 loss to Texas Tech in the Kansas's final conference match last week. The Red Raiders came back and scored twice late in the match to win, handing the Jayhawks their only loss in the season by two goals.
Senior Sarah Robbins the team is evenly matched with the feisty and strong Red Raider squad.
Senior Sarah Robbins thinks her
"We dominated a large portion of that game, so I think coming back and getting the win against [Texas Tech] will be a good boost going into the next game." Robbins said.
Last year, the Jayhawks were seeded as No.7 and fell to No. 2 Texas A&M in the quarterfinal round. The Jayhawks managed to force the game to penalty kicks, but the Aggies squeezed past, beating Kansas 5-3.
losses that may cause teams to underestimate the talent the Jayhawks bring to the field on both sides of the ball. Kansas scored 35 goals this season through seven different jerseys. Defensively, the Jayhawks have collected four shutouts and fifty-four saves. If offensive and defensive units can play in sync, the Jayhawks will be a force to be reckoned with in this tournament.
The Jayhawks have proved themselves to be worthy opponents all season, plagued by a few unlucky

K-State starts fresh with basketball coach
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. — The difference between Kansas State coach Bruce Weber and his predecessor, Frank Martin, was evident during the first few practices over the summer.
Weber was starting to implement the very basics of his motion offense, a markedly different system than what Martin had used so successfully, and it was absolute chaos — guys standing in the same spots, bumping into each other and throwing passes to nothing but air.
At first, Will Spraddling braced himself for an earful after every miscue. After a while, he heart-
to realize that the demeanor of his new coach was much more player friendly.
"Last year it was, if we made a mistake, we were on the line. We were running," Spradling said. "This year it's."
"I feel like with Frank, if you weren't a top-seven guy ... if you had a bad practice or something happened, you knew you weren't going to play, guaranteed," sophomore guard Nino Williams said. "It was kind of a bad situation if you aren't a top-five guy or starter."
For all of them, Weber represents a fresh start.
'If you make a mistake, we're going to do it right. We're going to get it right. We're going to do it as many times as we need to get it right.'
He wasn't a particularly popular hire among fans after getting fired by Illinois, but his everyman charm has slowly endeared him to wary supporters across the state.
Make no mistake: Weber can be intense.
"Last year,it was if we made a mistake,we were on the line. We were running.
Several players told The Associated Press during the offseason that Martin created a culture of fear within the program, one that was never fully recognized while he was leading the Wildcats to five consecutive 20-win seasons and four trips to the NCAA tournament.
That became clear during a trip to Brazil over the summer, when the officials let a game get out of hand. But the former Illinois coach picks his moments to let loose, while Martin — who left this spring for South Carolina — often seemed to be searching for a reason to let loose.
It helps that he was able to keep a deep, talented team intact.
Weber said his first order of business was to convince All-Big
WILL SPRADLING
K-State basketball player
12 guard Rodney McGruder to return for his senior year. Then he started meeting with every other guy from a team that went 22-11 last season.
even getting the Brooklyn Nets' Deron Williams — whom Weber coached at Illinois — to call Angel Rodriguez and convince the sophomore guard to give Weber a chance.
"D-Will was just telling me that he was in the same position as me. He was frustrated when Bill Self left Illinois," Rodriguez said. "He just told me to not stress it, take it easy and just remember that he was in the same position, and he will never regret playing for Coach Weber."
"Bill was truly missed there when he left, but we got them going," Bruce Weber said. "You want that challenge, and that's the exciting part of it."

Undefeated teams deserve a shot at BCS championship
The 2012 college football season is quickly gaining traction toward a terrific finish. There is just one problem: If the top teams go undefeated, which teams should make the national championship game?
By Andrew Morris
amorris@kansan.com
This will change when the playoff system is implemented in 2014, but this season more than any other could be ruined by the lack of a playoff game. Alabama, Kansas State, Oregon and Notre Dame are all undefeated right now and deserve an invitation to Miami for the national championship game.
So for the sake of argument, let's pretend the BCS playoff system determined this year's national championship.
Barring any unforeseen losses, K-State looks all but certain to finish the season undefeated and win its first conference title since 2003. Alabama and Oregon both have difficult games remaining, which include conference title games. Notre Dame has three winnable games before the much-anticipated matchup
with USC to finish the season. If all four teams remain unbeaten, then they would play in the BCS playoff. The playoff games would have Alabama vs. Notre Dame and Kansas State vs. Oregon.
The first national semifinal would feature the high-powered Oregon offense against the slow and deliberate power game of Collin Klein and the Wildcats. Both teams control the game through different approaches.
Oregon is incredibly fast and makes other teams' defenses tired simply by going on drives such as seven plays for 78 yards in 30
seconds. Klein leads a Wildcat running game that controls the game and keeps the opposing offsenses off the field. He has also improved his throwing this season and had a massive game at West Virginia to give him confidence to throw. This is why the K-State offense would hold the key to coach Bill Bendle first nation.
al championship game.
K-State has a great offense that no one else in the Big 12 has stopped. If the offense stays on the field and keeps the Oregon offense off the field, it would limit the number of scoring chances for the Ducks. The one question about the Wildcats is how they would respond to a late-game deficit.
Bill Snyder is the best coach in college football and giving him a month to prepare is dangerous, but the Oregon defense is much better than many give them credit for, meaning this would be an incredible game to watch.
The second semifinal would feature last year's national champion Alabama against Notre Dame. The Crimson Tide defense is the best in college football, while the Fighting Irish have Manti Teo, the best defensive player in the country. Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron has been one of the best quarterbacks all season, throwing 18 touchdowns and no interceptions in eight games.
KU
Notre Dame also has a great defense, but people may have questions for the offense. Freshman quarterback Everett Golson has not seen a defense like Alabama's but did play well in the win against Oklahoma. The game would be a great battle of college football powerhouses. Alabama is clearly the best team in the country, but Notre Dame plays with such passion that the game would be close.
It's a shame the playoff will not
happen this season,
because each team could finish undefeated and deserves a trip to the title game. Under the current system, Alabama and Oregon will likely go to the title game, but this leaves college football fans dreaming of the mouth-watering matchups that could have been.

Freshmen need aggressive mindset for future games
MAX GOODWIN
gwoodwin@kansan.com
The day before Tuesday's game, the first exhibition of the season. Bill Self told reporters during a press conference that he needed his freshmen to be aggressive.
He said it was a mindset that they needed to have.
"We don't need blenders. We need guys to take charge," Self said.
Tuesday night the Kansas
freshmen seemed to play with that message in mind. Perry Ellis took advantage of every shot, going five-for-five from the field and leading the team with 15 points. The talent Ellis possesses shined against Emporia State, but his teammates said after the game that he has shown that and more in practice.
"You see the numbers he has now, but I feel like he could do even better," freshman Landen Lucas said.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
"I think he definitely could do better," freshman Ben McLemore said. "He's a great athlete."

Scoring seemed to come easily for Ellis in the 85-54 win. He will not always shoot a perfect percentage, but Tuesday should represent what fans can expect from Ellis offensive. He is a gifted scorer, Self said, but he can still play more aggressively.
Freshman forward Jamari Trayler dunks during the second half of the exhibition game against Emporia State. Traaylor had six total points and four steals. Kansas won the exhibition against Emporia State 88-54.
That goes for all of the freshmen, Self said. Ben McLemore played the most minutes of any of the freshmen and showed aggressiveness at times. One of those times was on a two handed put-back dunk that electrified the crowd in the second half.
"First of all, coach was just telling me I need to crash the boards more often and stuff like that," McLemore said. "When I had my chance to crash the boards, it came off perfect timing and I just dunked it."
"When you screen, screen hard. When you jump, jump as high as you can. When you go after a ball, go after it with two hands." Self said.
GAME TO FORGET
Freshman Jamari Traylor was in the starting lineup along with McLemore and provided his own two-handed jam off an aggressive play. Traylor jumped into the passing lane and stole the ball near half court, leading to his fast break dunk.
Along with an aggressive mindset, Self has also talked about this team playing to their athletic ability. That athletic ability was on display in both Traylor and McLemore's dunks.

offensive game is still developing, but going 1-5 in the first half won't instill much confidence in coach Bill Self. Withey bounced back in the second half to finish with seven points — two points shy of his 2011-12 average.

Soccer seniors send-off Page 8
The Jayhawks need Johnson
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
"Elijah was substantially late to a class today," Self said.
So Johnson didn't start, and he wasn't the first player off the bench, either. That honor went to freshman Perry Ellis, who showed KU fans why they've been so excited about him since he left the womb in Wichita.
But when the five-minute, self-inflicted suspension was lifted and Johnson finally did check into the game, the entire dynamic changed for Kansas.
You see, Kansas was trailing 10-6 when Johnson left the Jayhawks' bench and trotted onto the court. While this was no time to panic, there's no question the team started flat without its senior point guard.
In case anyone was wondering how important Elijah Johnson is to this year's team, it only took four minutes and eight seconds of Tuesday's game to find out.
Mysteriously, amidst the typical newspaper-confetti rain shower and starting lineup hoopla Johnson's name was never called. And no, this wasn't a mistake by the Allen Fieldhouse public address announcer, either.

No, that title goes to the number of turnovers next to his name on the box score: one.
So when that newspaper-confetti flutters about Allen Fieldhouse for the rest of the season, Kansas fans better hope that it's being thrown for Johnson's name. Otherwise, it will be a lengthy struggle of a season for a team that desperately needs its senior point guard to be on the floor.
Johnson ran a Kansas offense that had 11 players play 10 or more minutes. He ran an offense that had seven freshmen get into the game. And to only have one turnover, for the Jayhawks to only have 15 turnovers total, is a good sign for Kansas.
And then Johnson showed why he's the Jayhawks' most indispensable player.
It didn't stop there, either, as Johnson had three assists, one rebound and a layup in the game's next three minutes as well.
While the run from Johnson and the lajayhaws was an impressive indicator of the talented senior's importance, it wasn't his most impressive feat of the night.
Bill Self would later explain the decision not to start his senior point guard.
"Hes probably the most key performer we have." Self said. "He needs to be a 33- or 34-minute guy"
With 11 minutes left in the first half, Johnson made his first shot of the 2012-2013 season, putting up three points and giving Kansas a 16-14 lead. The Jayhawks would keep that lead the rest of the game in their 88-54 win over Emporia State.
WELCOME TO THE PHOG
In those first five minutes that Johnson played, the Jayhawks went on a 13-4 run. Johnson had a rebound, two assists and the three-point basket in the run that put the "Kansas" back in Kansas basketball.

Freshman Perry Ellis stands out during the Jayhawk's home opener

The stage wasn't big, the opponent wasn't of note and at the end of the day, the game didn't count.
However, freshman forward Perry Ellis managed to answer the question of who would be the one to step in and shoulder the majority of the team's scoring in the front court, a role that was left wide open following the departure of All-American Thomas Robinson.
And Ellis did it by finishing the Jayhawks 88-54 victory against Emporia State a perfect five-for-the field. from the field.
"I if he could just become aggressive as far as a mind set, not shooting the ball, but just a mind set, he's so gifted offensively. It just comes so natural to him, that he could
be a really good player early in his career," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
After a sluggish start marred by turnovers at the hands of the many young Kansas players, the team quickly found themselves facing a six-point deficit with just under three minutes elapsed in the game.
Last year, the team would try to invigorate the offense by pounding the ball inside to Robinson in the post. This years' team took a different approach.
sessions which sent the Jayhawks on a 27-5 run and they never looked back.
The Jahayhaws started pulling up and shooting jump shots, sparked by back-to-back jumpers from Ellis.
However, Self doesn't think Ellis is reaching his potential on the court as he never had to play as hard in high school, where he was able to score easy baskets because he had considerably more talent than his opponents.
His buckets brought the team back to life. And then they kicked it into high gear when senior guard Elijah Johnson and freshman guard Andrew White III knocked down 3-point shots on consecutive pos-
Ellis provided steady play all across the hardwood, finishing the day leading the team with 15 points and added seven rebounds in just 16 minutes of work.
"If we can just get a little more consistent inside scoring, that will bode well for us," Self said "But we can't be a team that just falls in love with the jump shot. I've never played outside in, and I certainly don't want to start now."
But while they started shooting four-for-six from beyond the arc, they went cold and finished the first period by missing their last four 3-point attempts.
Such are the perils of relying on outside shooting to carry the offense.
"Honestly, I feel like for him, he could even do better than that. And we all know that," freshman forward Landen Lucas said. "I think Coach (Self) is always pushing him, and you see these numbers that he has now, but I feel like he can do better than that."
Three other players, Johnson, White and freshman guard Ben McLemore joined Ellis by scoring in double digits with 12, 11 and 10 points respectively.
"If you sit back and look at the way they're just so unselfish with the ball, it's not about 'me', it' about
'we' with the Jayhawks,' Emporia State coach Shaun Vandiver said.
But the night belonged to Ellis, the in-state recruit that Kansas fans have heard so much about as he led his high school team, Wichita Heights, to four consecutive class 6A state titles.
As the season progresses, and he becomes more comfortable in the system, Ellis will continue to carve out a larger role in the Jayhawk offense.
"I just feel like he's trying to find his groove," freshman guard Annie Adams said. "He's quiet and silent. We're just trying to get him to play a lot more aggressive. And I think the time's going to come at the right time, he just got to catch flow"

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Coming to Kansas from Killeen, Texas, freshman quarterback Michael Cummings has come a long way to get the opportunity he has now. At the start of the season, Cummings was listed as the top backup on the depth chart behind Dayne Crist and was projected to be behind Jake Heaps next season.
Before arriving in Lawrence, Cummings missed five games during his senior year at Killeen High School because of a torn ACL. In 2011, he was redshirted during his first year at Kansas.
Cummings now is the starting quarterback of the Jayhawks. It's a big opportunity for him to attest himself in front of his coaches and teammates. Kansas coach Charlie Weid said that at the end of the spring, he didn't look good. He's improved a lot, despite being unable to play for nearly two years.
"He just kept on working and kept on working until there finally came a point where he gave me an option," Weis said. "It wasn't until he gave me an option to put him in there. I'm not putting him in there because the fans say, 'Let's put him in there.' He got to give me the reason to believe that we could function well with him in a game. He's done that, and that's why he's in there."
Cummings sat out in the first four games of the season before he
received playing time in the second half against Kansas State. Against Oklahoma State, Cummings was sent into the game in the second half and helped the team score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter after not scoring in the first three quarters.
He threw his first career touchdown against the Cowboys when he found tight end Jimmy Mundine on a 21-yard catch-and-run play to get the Jayhawks rolling.

Even though Cummings has never taken a snap in a college football game, Weis said he likes what he's seen from Cummings in the four games the quarterback has played in this season.
"He's making progress enough where I'm not afraid to put him out
Cummings, who has been tabbed as calm and collected by quarter-backs coach Ron Powlus, has a good chance to earn his first career victory and help Kansas snap its 17-game conference losing streak on the road against Baylor this Saturday.
Baylor has allowed at least 35 points in its last five contests and are ninth in the Big 12 in points given up and total defense. Baylor's defense has been on the field longer than it would like because of the

offense, which has scored a lot. Even so, teams have managed to score against the Bears, a team that has given up an average 42.7 points per game.
FOOTBALL NOTES
"A win helps validate all the hard work and effort they've been doing." Weis said. "No matter what everyone sees, you can't believe you've truly turned a corner until you have something more definite to show for it."
- Right guard Aslam Sterling will start this week. He's started two games this season.
- Weis hopes that with Cummings taking the snaps, Kansas can finish on a better note after a long season.
- Wide receiver Daymond Patterson will be back this week.
He suffered a head injury against Oklahoma State.
- Left guards Damon Martin and Duane Zlatlik are co-starters. Martin started last week for the first time. The starter for this week has not been determined.
- Defensive end and captain Toben Opurum should be able to play this week. Linebacker Jake Love suffered an injury on the same play as Opurum. Love passed his concussion test, giving him a chance to be active this week.
