I'm broke, a little physically broken, and I may have broken a few hearts, so I'd say Halloweew is a success. Unfortunately, making seven costumes and going out seven nights in a row has left me financially lacking a bit. So with my wallet and shame hardly intact, I think it's time to take it easy this weekend, and if you enjoyed yourself even half as much as I did, I'd suggest you do the same. Just because you don't make it out to the bars doesn't mean you have to be a hermit, though.
To start the weekend off, the Lawrence Percolator is hosting a Dia de los Muertos event tomorrow. The Mexican holiday translated as Day of the Dead is a time when family and friends can gather in remembrance of their loved ones who have passed on. Although this may seem a bit gloomy compared to most Friday night events, the holiday focuses on celebrating life, and celebrating is just what the Percolator does. The event is free, and all that is requested is that you bring a dish of food to share. The event runs from 5 to 9 p.m. and will feature a performance by El Dia de los Muertos Community Band. As is the Percolator's tradition, the alley behind the Lawrence Arts Center always offers new cultural experiences that are sure to entertain.
Since Halloween marks the end of October, this week is the first Saturday of the month, which means the Lawrence Flea Market is up and running. Now this activity's cheapness all depends on your spending control, but of course it's free to look, and you might happen
to find something you can't live without. Local vendors, antique sellers and artists will be on hand selling a large and sometimes odd variety of items from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Eighth and Pennsylvania streets. I'm the kind of guy who would rather hunt through Salvation Army for a couch instead of buying it new, so flea markets and vintage stores will always keep me interested I'm also cheap and usually broke, so Lawrence Flea is the place for me.
Speaking of being cheap, this Sunday is the Student Union Activities Carnival. Even though the carnivals my parents took me to as a kid were deceptively pricey, the University's annual gathering has free admission with a KU ID and is wary of collegiate consumers' cash flow. The carnival has most of what you would expect, like games and rides, but how often can you see the Lawrence skyline from atop a Ferris wheel in the Ambler Rec Center parking lot? So stop on by, eat unhealthy snacks, and try your hand at some prizes this Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m.
We're in college, so until we graduate and get those six-figure jobs (this coming from a journalism student), we'll have to be on the lookout for cheap options to have fun. Thankfully, Lawrence refuses to let you down, so whether you're worn out from Halloween or just looking for a more financially enduring weekend, there are still plenty of good times to be had.

SUA provides bus to First Fridays

Student Union Activities will host a First Fridays bus trip to Kansas City Crossroads Arts District tomorrow.
First Fridays takes place on the first Friday of each month in the Kansas City Crossroads Arts District, the city's main art district. Art galleries and shops stay open until 9 p.m. People are welcome to wander in and out, admiring the art while music plays.
Bea Tretbar, the fine arts coordinator for SUA, said Crossroads is a fun environment and an opportunity students should take part in because it's a good thing to do with friends.

"It's not your normal Friday night in Lawrence," Tretbar said.

Keenan Gregory, a sophomore from Fort Scott, hasn't gone to First Fridays with SUA but has been with friends in the past. He enjoyed the local art and plans on going again tomorrow.
The bus will leave from the Kansas Union at 5 p.m. and will drop students off at 18th Street and Broadway. Students are encouraged to explore on their own and will be picked up around 9:15 p.m. Tickets are $3 for Student Saver Card holders and $5 with a KU ID. The bus will return to the Kansas Union by 10:30 p.m.

"First Fridays are always a good time. There's plenty of restaurants and good music, and the art's not bad," Gregory said.
Ticket scappers try and sell tickets to last Saturday's football game against Texas. Students have also started selling their tickets to the remaining home game for as low as $5.

Students sell football tickets on Facebook
JENNA JAKOWATZ
The football season has some students selling their own tickets for upcoming games for as little as $5.
jjakowatz@kansan.com
A Facebook group, called "Free and For Sale" has dozens of students who post every day, selling their student tickets to the remaining home football games.
Students who listed their tickets for $7 or more received few, if any offers. For remaining home games, student tickets are available for $10 at the door.
Early in the season, several students sold their TCU tickets for $10. But after the loss to TCU, ticket prices dropped on the group's page. A few OSU student tickets sold for $8. A couple of days later, tickets for the same game had dropped to $5.
Kathryn Smithson, a junior from Stilwell, Kan., said she usually works during home games, so selling her tickets, even for a small price, was appealing.
"It's difficult to keep your ticket if you can make a little money
when you know the team will probably lose". Smithson said.
The Jayhawks have lost six straight games after winning the season opener against South Dakota State on Sept. 1. Since 2010, KU has a 6-25 record.
The University's student sports combo package costs $150 for all home football and basketball games.
deal, but I bet the University would have increased sales if they divided up the sports combo into football and basketball," Smithson said. "As much as I love KU and all of our amazing sports, basketball is definitely why I buy the sports combo."
Over the past few weeks on the Facebook page, more than 20 students have sold their tickets below the original face value. However,
"The sports combo is a great

there are still students who will hang onto the rest of their tickets and most likely stay past halftime.
"The only thing I would add to the package is maybe involving other sports in it, even though that might make the price go up," Gomez said.

"A lot of people don't support a team uniess they are winning. I don't understand it at all." Zane said. "Win or lose you should be proud to be a Jayhawk and proud of the guys going out on that field representing you. To Charlie Weis and the football team: I am proud to be there every week and see you guys get through this transition time."
Logan Zane, a freshman from Wichita, said he also plans on attending the remaining games.

BRIGANTINE, N.J. — President Barack Obama from sandy the devastation from Sandy on Wednesday, flying high over flooded neighborhoods, sand-streets streets and a burning fire that charred homes along the New Jersey coastline.
With Election Day less than a week away, Obama's visit to view the aftermath of the rare autumn storm was layered with political implications. The president's tour guide was New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican and top supporter of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney who joined Obama on a Marine One helicopter ride over the region.
"This is not a time for politics"; Carney said. "The president appreciates the efforts of governors, state and local officials across the various states that were affected by the storm, regardless of political party."
During the helicopter tour, Obama and Christie saw a carnival and a large pier that had been damaged, along with flattened houses and fragments of wood scattered throughout neighborhoods.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said there were no political motivations behind Obama's decision to join his supporter's rival Wednesday.
Obama plans to return to the campaign trail today, with stops planned in Green Bay, Wis., Las Vegas and Boulder. Colo. He planned to be on the road campaigning every day through the Nov. 6 election.

LECTURE
Biographer visits campus
Natalie Dykstra, Associate Professor at Hope College, unravels the mystery of Clover Adams' suicide. Clover Adams was the wife of Henry Adams, whose great-grandfather and grandfather were both presidents of the United States. Clover Adams was a famous socialite but also became famous for her photography.
"What drew me to her story was that she was well known in her time, but her story was never told." Dykstra said. "Then I got very interested in her photography, how compelling and emotional it was."
Dykstra said when writing her book, "Clover Adams: A Glided and Heartbreaking Life," that the biggest shock during her research was that she thought Clover Adams would be a lot more depressed because she committed suicide. Dykstra first learned of Clover Adams when she was in graduate school at Kansas. She was
reading the Eleanor Roosevelt biography, and she said there was a part in the book where Eleanor would visit the memorial of Clover Adams. That is where Dykstra first learned and became interested in Adams.
"When I was in graduate school I always dreamed of writing a book," Dykstra said. "But the actual experience of writing the book was better than I ever could have imagined because I got to work with a great editor."
Dykstra will be on campus at 7:30 p.m. today in the Hall Center Conference Hall. Her lecture will go through the life of Clover Adams as well as covering the behind-the-scenes of writing the book. She will also read an excerpt from her book, and then there will be a reception and book sign after the lecture. Her book has received high praise from the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

McCollum catches fire in early morning hours
A heat motor sized and caught fire in McCollum residence hall at 3 a.m. today, said Captain Schuyler Bailey, KU Office of Public Safety spokesperson.
Residents evacuated the building after smoke from the fire set the alarms off and were told to wait in the lobbies of Elsworth and Hashinger Halls. They returned to their rooms approximately 45 minutes later, said Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing.
The Office of Public Safety and Law-
rence-Douglas County Fire and Medical
Department arrived at McCollum shortly after fire alarms sounded. Fire investigators determined that the fire started in a stairwell on the sixth floor. Robertson said the fire caused damage to the air handling unit. No one was hurt.
"I would like to credit Lawrence and Douglas County Fire Medical and KU Public Safety staff for being on site and handling the situation very quickly and efficiently." Robertson said. "And to the students for evacuating quickly and efficiently."
The estimated cost of damage was not released.

Fazel Ahmad Manawi, head of the Afghan Independent Election Commission, speaks at a press conference in Afghanistan, on Wednesday. Afghanistan's Election Commission says the country's next presidential election will be held on April 5, 2014.
Associated Press
New Afghan election in 2014
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghans will elect a new president in the spring of 2014 in a ballot considered crucial for their country's stability and security after more than 11 years of war.
Afghan politicians and the country's foreign backers hailed Wednesday's announcement as a step toward a peaceful transition of power. The Taliban, who could make or break the poll, denounced it as meaningless and vowed to keep on fighting.
The government-appointed Independent Electoral Commission set polling day as April 5, 2014, the same year that most troops in the U.S.-led NATO coalition will have left in a withdrawal that has already been.
The date is in line with the Afghan constitution adopted after the coalition ousted the Taliban in 2001. But the Taliban claimed the vote was an American ploy.
"These are not elections, they are selections," said spokesman Qari Youssif Ahmadi. "The U.S. wants to select those people it wants and who will work for the purpose of the enemy. The Afghans know the
country is occupied by the enemy,
so what do elections mean?"
Still, despite their rhetoric, it remains unclear what the insurgents will do ahead of the elections.
Prospects appear bleak. Peace talks are stalled and the Taliban show no signs of relenting in their fight. During Karzal's decade in office they have never recognized him as president and consider him an American puppet.
The 2009 poll that gave Karzai a second term were marred by allegations of massive fraud and voterrigging, while violence and intimidation in the Taliban-dominated
east and south helped limit overall turnout to 33 percent, and more than one million of the 5.5 million votes cast were ruled invalid.
The constitution limits Karzai to two terms, and he has said he will not try for a third. Although no one has openly declared a candidacy, possible contenders mentioned so far are mostly members of the former Northern Alliance, which ousted the Taliban after the American invasion in late 2001. They include former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah, who lost to Karzai in 2009, and Quayum Karzai, one of the president's brothers.
U. S. Ambassador James Cunningham said the election date represented "more than a day on a calendar. It is symbolic of the aspiration of Afghans for elections which will be crucial for Afghanistan's future stability. This will be an Afghan process, with the U.S. and the international community prepared to provide support and encouragement to millions of Afghans who, on April 5, 2014, will make their mark on history with a peaceful transition of political authority."
In Brussels, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen called it a "historic opportunity"
Provincial elections will be held on the same day as the presidential poll, and parliamentary elections will follow in 2015, said Fazel Ahmad Manawai; the election commission's chief.
Free and fair elections are also a key condition for delivering more than $16 billion in aid that was pledged at an international donor conference last May.

'Baby box' system aims to save young lives
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The baby box in Kirishi, an industrial town 60 miles (100 kilometers) east of St. Petersburg, is the tenth such facility in Russia. Experts think that's just a fraction of what is needed.
KIRISHI, Russia — A box in which parents can leave their babies anonymously without any legal risk opened Wednesday in a town in northwestern Russia — part of an effort that activists hope will save many young lives.
"Even if only one child is saved that way it will be worth it," said Tatiana Sobolevsky, deputy chief of the maternity department of Kiri-
shi's hospital, where the baby box is located. Nikolai Muravlev, a Russian Orthodox priest, came to bless the box and praise it as "island of safety."
Once a baby is put in the box, its door closes and a nurse gets alerted by a signal. There are no security cameras so parents can leave their babies anonymously. An information stand next to the box appeals to parents to think over their decision and offers contact numbers for assistance.
Kolbybel Nadezhdy (Cradle of Hope), a non-government organization that opened the baby box, said it should help attract nationwide attention to the issue. Its
head, Yelena Kotova, said more than a dozen babies are abandoned in Russia every month according to official statistics, but she said the real figures are believed to be at least three times higher.
Russian police have registered 268 cases of murder of newborn babies by their mothers in 2010-2011, and Russian media have carried regular reports of babies found in garbage containers, forests or snowdrifts. Kotova said in her home city of Perm in the Ural Mountains, the bodies of two newborn babies were found on a balcony. A woman who lived there with her other children just felt unable to raise another child, she said.

Census shows wage disparity between race
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Poverty also remains an issue with more than 1.2 million "informal" dwellings around the nation, including squatter camps, but not including the 712, 956 shacks. And while just over 8.2 million households have flushing toilets that connect to a sewage system, 748,597 households around the country have no toilets at all.
"These figures tell us at the bottom of the rung is the black majority who continue to be confronted by deep poverty, unemployment, and inequality, despite the progress that we have made since 1994." President Jacob Zuma said of the South Africa Census 2011 released on Tuesday.
The average annual income for black households was 60,613 rand ($7,500) in 2011, according to the census, while white households earned an average of 365,134 rand ($45,600) per year.
JOHANNESBURG — White South Africans earn six times more than black South Africans nearly two decades after the end of apartheid and much remains to be done to reduce the disparities between rich and poor, the president said after the release of the country's census.
The average household income in South Africa has more than doubled in the past decade, according to the census, which said that households earned an average of 48,000 rand ($6,000) per year in 2001 compared to 103,204 rand ($12,900) by October 2011.
South Africa's population has increased by 7 million people in the last decade to 51.8 million by October 2011, according to the census. And for the first time in the three censuses conducted since 1994, the number of people identifying themselves as colored — a term used by the government for people of mixed race — is higher, at 4.62 million, than those who describe themselves as white at 4.59 million. More than 41 million describe themselves as black and 1.3 million as Indian or Asian.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Much remains to be done to further improve the livelihoods of our people especially in terms of significant disparities that still exist between the rich and poor," said President Zuma. "Government departments must now use this information wisely in planning for the extension of services."
He referenced a National Development Plan to eliminate poverty, reduce inequality and address the problem of unemployment. The plan says that the poor should be able to have a toilet, clean water, food, stable housing and heat by the year 2030.

"We want them to know we're more than just powwows," Ortiz said. "We're more than what they see on TV and Hollywood stereotyping. We individuals that, because of westernized education, are clumped into one category. There's more to us than that."
Ortiz, who has tribal affiliations with the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and the Acoma Pueblo of New Mexico, has lived in Lawrence since the early 2000s. She graduated from Haskell Indian Nations University and is now a graduate student in indigenous studies at the University of Kansas.
Ortiz said she and some of her fellow students in indigenous studies at the University organized a large event through the FWNC to commemorate the month.
"This is the first of its kind locally," Ortz said. "There are things going on like in this Kansas City, but there's nothing really here as far as celebrating Native Americans."
The event, "Night of the Lanterns," will take place on the Haskell campus on Nov. 16. Attendees can observe luminary displays on the Haskell campus, and there will be opportunities to learn about prominent Native Americans in history.
After this event, attendees are invited to stay for the "Celebrate the Youth" powwow. Student leaders at
Haskell, as well as local performers and dancers, will perform.
Throughout the month, the FWNC will also be holding activities and lectures aimed at giving community members a better understanding of Haskell and Native American history and culture.
"We have these presentations and workshops going on, and people can talk face-to-face with presenters to bridge those barriers," Ortiz said. "It's also for non-natives because our teachings are somewhat different, and we can celebrate those differences and learn from one another. I get to learn. too."
The First Nations Student Association will be kicking off the celebrations today with an exhibition of Native American performers in front of the Kansas Union.
Ramzey Ingels, a sophomore from Mayetta and vice president of FNSA, said the annual kickoff introduces students to a new way of celebrating.
"I would say they are probably surprised by it," Ingels said. "Some students have never gone to a powwow and never really experienced Native American traditions."
The FNSA and other Haskell and University of Kansas student groups are hosting events related to Native American Heritage month throughout November, including film and documentary screenings, a panel on Native American land rights and a meat pie sale at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
Ortiz said that, though Lawrence is somewhat more liberal and accepting of different cultures and ethnicities than other places she has been and lived, there are still changes that could be made. She also said the activities and events throughout Lawrence during Native American Heritage month will be a step in the right direction.
"There are some remnants of prej
udice," Ortiz said. "But I think it is better than other places I've been because of the fact that Haskell is here. There's still more we could improve upon; we want to have people in the community celebrate the diversity that is Lawrence."

Voters need to weigh issues on humanity
Many people will determine their vote next Tuesday by picking the candidate they believe is the lesser of two evils.
ELECTION
Screw the bars, I'm going trick or treatin'!
I agree with this logic. The only problem: The cesspool known as Washington, D.C., soon contaminares what little virtue one might possess, or more accurately proclaim, while running for office.
I am afraid, however, that we must lower this already very low standard even further.
This election we must ask, "Which candidate is more human?"
I am a registered Democrat. I voted for President Obama in the last election, and I traveled to the Potomac swamp to see him inaugurated. I have never been more proud to be an American than when I witnessed Chief Justice John Roberts swear in the nation's
first African-American president with the same bible used by Abraham Lincoln in 1861.
One of my fondest memories of the inaugural celebrations took place during the "We are One" concert at the Lincoln Memorial. Right before John Mellencamp sang "Pink Houses?" Joe Biden gave a speech. I will never forget his words. He said, "I believe in the very core of my being that work is more than a paycheck. It's about dignity. It's about respect. It's about whether you can look your child in the eye and say 'Honey, it's going to be alright.'"
By David Scott
dscott@kansan.com
At that moment, I knew America would bounce back, and I bought into the idea of "Change."
After four years, I am still waiting on some of that change, and I have become a bit disenchanted. I began to feel uneasy when I heard Biden deliver the same line I heard four years ago at this year's Democratic
National Convention, and I became sick when I heard President Obama spew nothing but talking points on the "Daily Show With John Stewart" a couple of weeks ago.
I watched the interview and was saddened to witness my president reduced to a talking head. I had to admit something I felt during his nomination acceptance speech in North Carolina that I was not ready to articulate at the time: The president's words had become hollow.
I understand politicians repeat their most prized one-liners and
dogmatically remain "on message."
I understand politics are about options and not commitments, and I know there's a need to appeal to a broad base.
But I must be a bit naive. I want my politicians to be genuine. I think this is important, especially when you vote Democratic.
I place social issues over economic issues when I vote. For me, "it's not the economy, stupid." I look towards equality and fairness. I vote for politicians who look to provide security for the old, aid for the poor, and opportunity for the needy. I vote for demand-side politicians, not supply-side.
Above all, I don't want the politicians I vote for to lose track of their humanity. Obama's vapid rhetoric has made me wonder.
President Obama achieved historic legislation when Obamacare passed. He spent nearly all his po-
literal capital doing the right thing; making healthcare a right, not a privilege. That's the Obama I voted for. The Obama who enacted a toothless Dodd-Frank Act, dragged his feet in prosecuting Wall Street financiers, and lacked the backbone to stand up to obstructionists Republicans tying up Congress is not. And this, announcing, Obama?
And this campaign's Obama? Certainly not.
Yet, when having to decide which candidate is the lesser of two evils—or which candidate is more human than the other. That's fairly easy. I'll pick the guy who knows how to relate to more than 47 percent of the population.

Local music scene overlooked
By Mike Montano
mmontano@kansan.com

According to EM Marketing research, on average, students charge $249 to their credit cards each month, and of that amount, a small percentage goes to local venues such as The Granada, Liberty Hall and The Bottleneck.
A concert on a school night is just as much a rite of passage as visiting Allen Fieldhouse. It's a rite of passage that I've been enjoying since I was a senior in high school and attended a Vanilla Ice concert at Abe and Jake's Landing. Yes, my first concert was Vanilla Ice, but I look at it as the bar was set very low for future concerts so there was only going up from there. Since my days as a young naive 18-year-old, I've enjoyed many concerts ranging from Rachael Yamagata, The Fray, Jason Reeves, Stars, Lifehouse and a
handful of indie bands.
I see pictures and posts from friends about concerts in the Kansas City area but not many supporting the local scene. It could be lack of awareness or just the idea of getting out of town for the evening that keeps people flocking to Kansas City. Lawrence may not have an 18,000 seating arena or an eight-and-a-half acre venue either but the city still knows how to put on a good show. A few years ago I interviewed bands for a music blog website and I would ask every band the same question, "Which type of venue do you prefer to perform? Stadium-size or smaller venues?" The response nine times out of 10 was smaller venues. Bands would say they feel the energy more from their fans and get a close connection while on stage. Anyone who has been to a concert at the Sprint Center versus any venue in Lawrence has to admit the energy is different.
I may not know artists and bands such as Asher Roth, Sleigh Bells (not holiday-type music) or Chuck Mead but when I have the time, I'm always down for a local, down-the-street concert. Some of my best memories in Lawrence
consist of me studying at Watson and avoiding the stacks late at night, getting a text from a friend about a show and being pleasantly surprised by a band I've never heard of while catching up with friends and making new ones.
So if you find yourself looking for something to do on the weekend or just need a study break, don't forget to explore the concert life that Lawrence has to offer. There's more to college life than just the books.
If the shear enjoyment of catching up with friends while listening to music doesn't motivate you enough to use some of your grocery money for a concert ticket, maybe the fact that music is good for your brain. According to a study conducted by Stanford University, music sends signals to your brain that help increase your attention span and improve memory. A heavy metal concert on the other hand may not be the most conducive music to aid in brain development.

As a free-thinking woman living in the 21st century, I am deeply offended by the slut-shaming portrayed by Mayfield's article reinforcing sexist stereotypes published on Monday. Finally, A Feminism 101 Blog defines slut-shaming as shaming and/or attacking a woman or a girl for being sexual, having one or more sexual partners, acknowledging/acting on sexual feelings. This message implies that sexuality is bad, and as a society we have the right to objectify women based on their clothing (or lack thereof). The hate portrayed in the article is something I would usually expect from the conservative medium, not from a fellow woman.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Now this article does not depict the more common form of slut-shaming that we see when women are seen as "asking for it." Instead it highlights the underlying psychological problem that a woman is only worth what we see at face value. It suggests that the more of our body we cover the better – can you think of any other society that holds these beliefs? I can and I know the implications it can have on a society. See: "My Forbidden Face," by Latifa.

women without ridicule; people can dress as nuns and missionaries without being shunned; and women can be a sexy nurse, a sexy apple, a sexy fork for all I care; and the only one that has a problem with this are those that hold this prejudice. To correct a quote you paraphrased: You have got to stop referring to women as sluts and whores because of how they look. It just makes it OK for the whole world to call us sluts and whores.

P
Obama's energy plan is incomplete
ERIC SCHUMACHER
Staff writer,
eric@politicalFiber.com
In my last column, I examined the energy policies of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Now, with less than two weeks to go before the election, we take a look at the policies both proposed and initiated by President Obama. Energy and the environment are the issues with the greatest long-term ramifications. But as ThinkProgress.org sadly notes, they have gone almost entirely unmentioned in this campaign.
The "all of the above" strategy as advertised by the president boils down to three broad tenets: increasing American fossil fuel production, raising fuel efficiency to cut down on consumption and investing in alternative energy.
However, President Obama's actions and past proposals leave plenty to be discussed. The president's endorsement of an "all of the above" strategy for energy security has received praise from environmentalists and alternative energy advocates as well as many political moderates for its ambitious goals and vision for America's energy future while maintaining a realistic outlook on the source of most of our energy. Opponents of the approach cite its lack of economic practicality and lack of details on exactly how energy independence will be achieved.
True to the president's claims, foreign dependence on oil has declined while domestic production has increased during the past three years, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Also according to the EIA, oil imports have declined since peaking in 2005, and much steeper drops have occurred in the past three years. Opponents say the domestic natural gas boom is incidental and actually being hampered by President Obama's policies, citing examples like the rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline earlier this
The president's plans certainly have the right end goal in mind — Americans of all stripes agree that our economic security will be better served the sooner we can become completely energy independent. However, the fossil fuels argument that has been a staple of this presidential campaign and the alarming scarcity of climate change discussion show that we have yet to accept that our future cannot depend on fossil fuels, and our efforts need to be placed in decreasing consumption and promoting renewables. It's time for all Americans to call on all of our leaders to face reality.

year (even though opposition to it was essentially bipartisan).
When the topic moves to alternatives and renewables, the question does not become one of regulation versus growth but instead, the economic merits of investment. The president has hit Romney on his opposition to the wind tax credit while still heavily promoting government investment in alternative energy. This move was considered to be mostly successful despite Romney's now-famous claim during the first debate. The president has been somewhat mum about where he'll want to take energy and environmental issues during a second term although he has hinted that he'd like to pursue legislation on climate change, perhaps gearing up for another push for capping carbon emissions.
Since the primary campaign in 2008, Obama has called for raising fuel efficiencies in vehicles. The administration has made significant progress toward that, although some failures in the marketplace for more efficient vehicles have dampened the record and the overall push toward greater fuel efficiency, reinforcing the renewables-is-not-economical argument.

Meek Mill's new album falls flat
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
Meek Mill generated buzz when he signed to Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group imprint last year. Now, after releasing two solid mixtapes that added to his hype, Meek Mill has released his first full-length album "Dreams and Nightmares."
The album's introduction "Dreams and Nightmares" sets the tone for the album. The track starts off with smooth piano strokes and angelic strings while Mill rhymes, calmly reflecting on his recent success, which gives the listener a sense of comfort. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the instrumental switches up to a more gritty, bass-heavy beat while Murf illuminates raps about everything from committing crimes to bragging about his fortunes. Sadly, after this stellar beginning, the album fails to keep consistency.
For the most part, the production on the album is solid, but it's repetitive. There's little variation with the production and a lot of the beats sound similar. This lack of variety makes the album quite boring at times.
Meek Mill has never been a very technical rapper. His flows are often repetitive, and his voice is sometimes annoyingly high-pitched. His wordplay is mediocre on tracks like "Lay Up," where he makes cringe-worthy basketball puns. Also, on the track "Young & Gettin' It," Mill's voice is so loud that it makes his words difficult to bear.
Most of the standout tracks are when Mill tones it down as he does on "Maybach Curtains" with Rick Ross, Nas and John Legend.
Mill also displays his great storytelling skills on "Tony Story Pt. 2" as he continues a story he started in his 2011 mixtape "Dreamchasers,"telling a tale about street violence. Mill also gets personal on tracks like "Polo & Shelltops" and "Traumatized." In "Polo & Shelltops," he explains the repercussions of street crimes. In a world of rappers gloring violence and drug trafficking, Mill brings light to a rarely discussed reality. With "Traumatized," he describes the pain he felt after his father's murder.
Tracks like these are where the album succeeds, but there's too few moments like them.
Meek Mill shows potential in his debut, but not enough. "Dreams and Nightmares" will not be remembered as a high point in his career.

DUNCAN MCHENRY
dmchenry@kansan.com
"When you forge a weapon, you need three things; the right metal, temperatures above 1400 degrees, and someone who wants to kill."
Founding Wu-Tang Clan member and Kung Fu enthusiast RZA delivers these words in his signature, mush-mouthed accent on the new soundtrack for his directing debut, "The Man with the Iron Fists," RZA also stars in the movie, which is scheduled for release on Nov. 2, as a character called The Blacksmith who welds deadly weapons for a small village in 19th century China.
Given his extensive musical background and entrepreneurial spirit, it's not surprising that the soundtrack itself is a deftly sharpened blade. RZA learned the craft of movie directing by observing Quentin Tarantino's methods when he produced the music for "Kill Bill" in 2003, and he has brought the same cinematic
appeal to this compilation. The album is a swaggering brew of dark, Wu-Tang-style rap — complete with spoken word introductions inspired by classic Kung Fu movies — and glossier neo-soul numbers.
But the album isn't just another narrow, genre-specific movie soundtrack, as evident in appearances from soulful artists Corinne Bailey Rae and The Revelations. On the first song, "The Baddest Man Alive." The Black keys provide an ideal dosage of alternative grit and敏RZAs gruff
Many of the soundtrack's hip-hop songs are bass-laced Yakuza gang lullabies that seemed to a masked samurai fight at midnight. "Tick-Tock" is a menacing track that features a ticking time bomb noise as its dominant percussion along with bristling verses from rappers such as Pusha-T and Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon. Pusha-T cleverly refers to money as "The devil's pie," and raps, "Every street tax gotta come with an audit."
The sleeper pick for best song on "The Man with the Iron Fists" soundtrack is Kane West's "White Dress". This is West at his most romantic and humorous, adding typical references to Christian Dior and private flights to Europe with lines such as: "You like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain / Or rocking flannels all summer like Kurt Cobain."
lyrics.
With the soundtrack for "The Man with the Iris Fists," RZA has expertly crafted a body of work as sharp and well-tempered as the weapons his character creates in the film. It accomplishes its purpose as a backdrop to the outlandishly gilded Kung Fu battles of RZA's imagination and manages to be a killer album in the process.

Jackpot hosting The Fresh & Onlys and Quilt tonight
EMMA LEGAULT elegault@kansan.com
The Lawrence music scene has a reputation for being eclectic and unique, which makes it a perfect locale for bands and artists flying under the radar. Two of these, The Fresh & Onlys and Quilt, both their own brand of indie folk rock, will be performing at Jackpot Saloon tonight at 8 p.m.
The Fresh & Onlys are a quartet hailing from San Francisco. They recently released their fourth album, Long Slow Dance, in early September. Quilt's self-titled album debuted in late 2011.
"Their sound is definitely a great example of how simplicity can go a long way," Creighton said. "The vocals complement the day-dreamy feel of the music."
Creighton described their style as "fluctuating between low-fi and an upbeat garage band feel." He believes they're a perfect example of the true American indie band.
A review by Steven Hyden posted on the Pitchfork website echoes Creighton's description, calling
the latest album, which complements themes of love with tones of rock and pop, "lush and love struck, with a light-as-air melodicism." Hyden further writes that Long Slow Dance "subly expands the band's sonic palette without overwhelming the band's appealing simplicity."
"Even though they can be defined by a handful of music genres, their music seems to take on its own creation of a genre. The amount of versatility they bring to their music is amazing." Creighton said.
While it doesn't have the grandeur of larger venues, Jackpot's smaller space gives audiences a unique experience. Creighton said he thinks it would be perfect for The Fresh & Onlys.
"It is a super intimate setting," Creighton said. "It allows both the band and the audience to get into the music."
The young Boston trio Quilt stepped on the scene in 2009 with an experimental, melancholy sound, personified by haunting harmonies. A review on their label's website (Mexican Summer) describes the album, released last November, as "made up of expansive, cinematic moments, brought home by those harmonies."

Quirky sci-fi romp 'Johnny X' impresses with infectious fun
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
"They sing! They dance!
They're juvenile delinquents from outer space!"
Paul Bunnell's "The Ghostly Love of Johnny X" is a lovingly demosed humour to 1950s sciifi and beach-bop cinema, the kind of movie destined for a long and fruitful afterlife as a latterday cult classic, one worthy of comparisons to the work of Ed Wood, Russ Meyer and other purveyors of venerated trash. Locally financed and starring a cast of predominantly unknows, "Johnny X" was the toast of this year's Kansas International Film psychobilly, where it scored the coveted Audience Award for Best Narrative and consequently earned a limited theatrical release.
The movie, gorgeously shot on what may have been the last of Kodak's black and white film stock, opens with an intergalactic tribunal passing judgment on wild man Johnny Xavier (Will Keenan) and his gang of crooning alien greasers, known collectively as the Ghastly Ones. After much deliberation, the Grand Inquisitor (Kevin McCarthy) exiles the Ghastlies to the furthest, foultest corner of existence: a nondescrit
Enraged at the prospect of being grounded for eternity, Johnny's ex-girlfriend Bliss (De Anna Joy Brooks) splits from the gang to embark on a cross-country elopement with a love-stricken soda jerk named Chip (Les Williams), but not before hijacking Johnny's Resurrection Suit — a mind-control device that also has the power to raise the dead.
B-movie regular Jud Reden channels the Three Stooges as Sluggo, Johnny's clumsiest enforcer, while fans of Brian De Palma's camp musical "Phantom of the Paradise" may recognize songwriter and Bob Balaban clone Paul Williams, who appears here as sardonic talk show host Cousin Quilty.
The pacing occasionally lags and the lead performers are amateur at best, but the fun they're having quickly turns infectious. Brooks and Williams in particular possess a madcap brand of chemistry, one featured prominently in a duet titled "These Lips That Never Lie." Scott Martin, the film's composer, certainly has a gift for writing infernally catchy doo-wop numbers.
planet called Earth.
On the run from a vengeful Johnny following a jazz-handy diner brawl worthy of "West Side Story", Chip and Bliss take shelter in a theater owned by King Clayton (Reggie Bannister), an unctuous Hollywood concert promoter obsessed with resurrecting the career of rock 'n' roll gargoyle Mickey O'Flynn (Creed Bratton from "The Offce"), whose undead Elvis look must have taken inspiration from real-life psychobilly superstar Unknown Hinson.
"The Ghastly Love of Johnny X" also features the final performance of acting legend Kevin McCarthy, who lived just long enough to complete his scenes as the Grand Inquisitor before passing away in 2010. His career, which arguably peaked with the original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" back in 1956, lends special significance to his appearance as a grim emotionless overlord.
When "johnny X" screened at KIFF, Bunnell called the film a labor of love, a salute to the high-concept, low-budget movies that inspired him as a child. That love is evident in every frame of his bizarre, wonderful creation.

Former football player transitions to opera
NEW YORK — Keith Miller was a bruising backout out of the University of Colorado who never quite made it to the National Football League. He has, however, become a star at the Metropolitan Opera.
How Miller made the unlikely transition from football to the pinnacle of opera is an all-American story of reinvention, made all the
more amazing by the fact that he had no formal musical training when he set out to become a singer.
"This is the real thing. This is the juice."

Miller. "Instead of a number, you're a character, but the spirit of competition is the same, and you do it for the love of the art versus the love of the game."
Then he got some real opera recordings, singing along in his bass-baritone voice, "kind of like karaoke."
It began almost by chance in 1994, while still at Colorado, when he took his girlfriend to see a traveling production of the Broadway musical "The Phantom of the Opera." He was so enthralled that tears rolled down his face. He bought a CD and learned the songs.
But it was still nothing more than a hobby. Singing along to "The Marriage of Figaro" and "Don Giovanni" was something he did to pass the time while the 6-foot, 265-pound Miller lifted weights, ran sprints and studied playbooks in
pursuit of a pro football career.

He performed the only aria he knew, from Mozart's "Don Giovanni." To his surprise, he got the job, plus four other offers.
Miller then had to learn the whole part, poring over the score and picking out notes on a piano late into the night.

Wife of Republican candidate Mitt Ronney, Ann Ronney wears a sheer floral top while meeting supporters in Gainesville, Fla. This potential First Lady knows that necklace necklaces and sheer fabrics are so hot right now.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
FORWARD
First Lady Michelle Obama rocks a major trend at Broward College in Davie, Fla. Her navy and black graphic dress is perfectly fashionable for a speech. Perhaps the "Forward" sign on the podium should have fashion above it.
First lady fashion takes center stage
CALLAN REILLY creilly@kansan.com
Forget President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney; let's focus on their fashion-forward wives. First lady Michelle Obama and Ann Romney have stolen the limelight from their politician hubbies thanks to their stylish ways.
For celebrities, physical appearance is crucial. Paparazzi prey constantly, magazines write about you nonstop, and weekly episodes of "Fashion Police" haunt you. The pressure is on. But for political figures, the burden is tripped. Not only must political families always act appropriate, but their outfits must
be in tip-top shape as well. Any slip-ups could cost you an election. Okay, maybe not an election, but style points are definitely deducted. Luckily this year's presidential candidates have nothing to worry about regarding their spouses' wardrobes, for both women are impeccably dressed.
The always fresh-faced Michelle Obama is frequently seen in gowns by fabulous fashion designers such as Jason Wu and Naeem Khan. Proving that she is no presidential diva, Obama also wears affordable brands such as J. Crew. I love how she always manages to show off her fit figure (Have you seen her arms?) without bearing too much skin or dressing inappropriately for her
age. Obama doesn't let her 5-foot-11 height prevent her from wearing heels, either. Embracing her height gains this first lady some serious credit. The graphic and floral prints Mrs. Obama has been caught in recently further prove her fashionable knowledge. It's almost as if she just stepped off the fashion runway and into the White House. Does she have a modeling background I don't know about?
While rumor has it Obama supporter and icy Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintroth is pressing designers to avoid creating pieces for Ann Romney, the famous wife still shines in her wardrobe. Mrs. Rommy sports top designers such as Oscar de la Renta and Alred Fiandaca.
Despite her designer duds, Romney re-wears her outfits, such as the red Alfred Fianda shirt dress that she sported on both "Good Morning America," as well as a victory rally in August. Somewhere, Kate Middleton is proud. My favorite look of Romney's would be the cream skirt suit she wore at the Oct. 3 presidential debate. She nailed an all-white ensemble after Labor Day, a must for women everywhere this winter.
Luckily for America, first lady fashion was not a debate topic. The decision would have been far too challenging. Thankfully, the election is about much less complicated things, like war and economics.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE
THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
I look for charm, nice, good-looking guys, of course with a good sense of humor. I like the smooth operator-type, thatfs my number one. Overall though, smooth, charming, funny and very witty.

It would be a tie between

WHAT SONG DESCRIBES YOUR LIFE?
There are so many options. It could be a Michael Jackson song, or Queen or Jay-Z. But it's gotta be "The Way You Make Me Feel," by Michael Jackson.

By Kory Carpenter kcarpenter@kansan.com
Glorified scrimmages against the Emporia States of the world mean about as much as pick-up games at the Rec Center, we know that. But while watching freshman guard Ben McLemore's debut Tuesday night, all I could think about was what might have been different on that rainy Monday night in New Orleans last April.
Edited by Madison Schultz
No offense to Conner Teahan, but Ben McLemore is no Conner Teahan.
FRESHMEN FIRST LOOK
We heard the praise from coaches and players for the better part of a year as McLemore sat out last season because of eligibility issues stemming from high school. He began practicing at the end of the first semester and began wowing folks soon after. His athleticism is unmatched by most everyone he'll play against this season. His jump shot is effortless. He's long, quick, and makes things like his two-handed put-back dunk that ended up on SportsCenter's Top 10 list Tuesday look easy.
But I doubt it.
Again, taking too much away from a scrimmage against a team full of Hornets from Emporia isn't the smartest thing to do. Just look at Naadir Tharpe's 19 points in an exhibition against Fort Hays State last year.
Of course, there's a whole lot of games between Emporia State and the NBA draft. McLemore may prove he needs more seasoning at the college level. He may not be as good as advertised, and NBA scouts may not want to pick him up next summer.
DBA Coach in the MLB
NBADraft.net has McLemore
being taken 10th by the
Minnesota Timberwolves in
next June's draft.
But Ben McLemore is no Naadir Tharpe.
And it's a shame McLemore won't be here when the heavy hitters arrive next season. I can't imagine watching McLemore playing next to guards Wayne Selden (25th nationally according to rivals.com in the 2013 class) or Brannen Greene (24th) or point guard Conner Frankamp (30th) in Bill Self's backcourt next year and beyond. The big-play potential would make McLemore's putback dunk Tuesday look like layup drills in a middle school practice. Along with an older Perry Ellis, Jamari Traylor, and whomever else Bill Self potentially signs in this recruiting class, McLemore could be the best player on a Final Four or national championship team in 2014 or 2015.
Don't count on it, though.
Jeff Goodman at CBSSports.
com has him at fifth on his latest mock draft.
And with a veteran like Elijah Johnson running the offense and an All-Big 12 candidate in Jeff Withey down low drawing defenders to the paint, McLemore will have free reign to do what he does best: make plays that end up on Youtube and score with relative ease.

200 minutes.
That is all the time Kansas coach Bill Self has to distribute each game to the 12 players currently fighting for minutes.
And they didn't do it with flashy shooting or by throwing down monster dunks.
Instead, they made their statement with tenacity when the opponents had the ball.
"The two best players for us, per minute, were Anrio Adams and Landon Lucas." Self said.
On Tuesday night, freshmen Landen Lucas and Anrio Adams staked their claim that they merit an extended look as the Kansas men's basketball team works to trim down its rotation.
ing to defend Thomas Robinson under his belt, and freshman forward Perry Ellis, who has the best offensive game of any Jayhawk forward.
"On defense, I feel like I need to be more versatile in what I can guard so that coach doesn't feel like I can only guard one position," Lucas said.
"It's going to be a big thing
Under Self, the Jayhawks have annually been one of the top defensive teams in the nation.
Adams' achievements didn't show up in the stat sheet in the same way that Lucas' did, but the guard made an impact on the game with his defensive presence.
Lucas believes that will be the key to maximizing his playing time.
"They got more done as far as from a coaching standpoint. You look at points, which a lot of people look at, but if you look at who made the most out of their possessions."
Lucas led the team with nine rebounds, despite playing 12 minutes in the game.
Lucas' fight for minutes will be a challenge because he's going up against senior forward Kevin Young, who played a big role coming off the bench last season, freshman forward Jamari Traylor, who has a semester of attempt-
Self said Lucas' only turnover, an offensive foul called against his screen, was really more on the hands of freshman guard Ben McLemore because he didn't wait for Lucas to set the screen before moving.
that's going to separate me from the other guards," Adams said. "We have a lot of guards that can score that are a lot bigger than me as far as the two goes, because I'm a combo. So I just feel like for me to be on the court, I've got to give more effort on defense."
Monday night's contest with Washburn will be the final chance for the freshmen to make their preseason impressions on Self. After that, minutes will be cut quick as the Jayhawks face Michigan State in their second game of the season.
"Anrio Adams, if he can eat up the ball like that, he could add a different element to our game." Self said. "Especially playing at home with the crowd and get the crowd into it because he really played hard."
WITHEY NAMED TO AWARD LIST
Senior Center Jeff Withey has been named one of the 30 candidates for the 2012-2013 Senior CLASS Award. Withey is joined on the finalist list by Kansas women's senior guard Angel Goodrich.
The lists will be reduced down to the top 10 midway through the regular season before the winners are announced at the Final Four.
If Withey wins, he will join Wayne Simien, the 2005 winner, as the only Kansas players to win the award, which began in 2001. Three other former Jayhawks, Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich and Tyrel Reed, have also been named to the Senior CLASS First Team.

As head coach Charlie Weis put it, the 2012 season might as well be titled "Groundhog Day." Every week is the same: breaking down film, practicing, press conferences, all leading to a Saturday loss—and a James Sims 100-yard performance.
Running back James Sims sprints downfield. Sims ran for 178 yards in Saturdays defeat against Texas.
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
OK, maybe not every week; after all Sims only gained 90 yards and two touchdowns in his season debut at Northern Illinois, but since then? It's an easy bet he'll break the century mark.
And here's the thing, everyone
— even the opposing teams — knows it's coming. It wasn't until Sims' gutsy performance against Oklahoma State that Lawrence outsiders began taking notice. Yet Weis has said all season that if there's a better running back in the Big 12 he hasn't seen him. Many are now beginning to echo that sentiment.
"I think over the past couple of years he's definitely shown flashes," senior left tackle Tanner Hawkinson said. "The way he's been running I agree with that statement."
back he sought and Kansas had a bruiser that became hard to tackle on the field and harder to miss off it.
game -- after not playing in the season-opening loss to North Dakota State.
There were more flashes that year too. When Kansas came back to beat Colorado in the NCAA's biggest fourth quarter comeback, Sims scored four touchdowns in the final 19 minutes.
There were flashes against Georgia Tech Sims' freshman year, when the Tejhawks upset the 16th ranked team in the country and the rookie had his first 100-yard
And there was definitely a flash when Sims first visited Lawrence as a senior in high school. A flash in his mind as he stared at Memorial Stadium and realized the opportunities ahead.
Sims arrived in the fall of 2010 sporting a flattop look with a spot of red dye on the right side. Walking down Jayhawk Boulevard it was easier to spot the hair than the man wearing it.
It was Mark Mangino's regime that Sims was attracted to. And it was Sims' former coach, David Beaty, joining the Jayhawks' staff that sealed the deal. Yet Kansas wasn't the only school pursing Sims. The Mid-American Conference champions University at Buffalo came calling, but Sims had to say no to its likeable head coach, Turner Gill.
"I came on an unofficial up here and I just fell in love with the campus and coaching staff", Sims said.
Not long after committing to Kansas, Mangino was ousted and Gill stepped in.
"It was a little difficult at first," Sims said of playing for Gill. "Coach Gill understood where I was coming from when he was at Buffalo and we ended up together anyway."
Gill finally had the running
He was trying to be different and stand out.
By the end of his first season, he most certainly did. Sims led the Jayhawks in rushing with 742 yards and nine touchdowns. His sophomore year yielded the same results — more than 700 yards, nine touchdowns and back to back seasons as the Jayhawks' best runner.
Everything was primed for an even bigger season in 2012, until a OUI arrest last April put his starting role in jeopardy.
Sims was suspended three games by Weis and with Tony Pierson's emergence as a speedy back. Sims would need to outwork his teammates to get his starting role back.
"It pushed me to get better each day," Sims said. "Just knowing that I made a mistake and it cost me college games that you know you won't get back."
Sims began making changes over the summer. He dropped ten pounds, cut the flattop and added more muscle. It's allowed him to
gain some extra speed, run harder and to turn those flashes into full games.
Yet his first home game of the season was eerily similar to one of his freshman year flashes.
Kansas was down 20-0 entering the fourth quarter against Oklahoma State and it seemed the Jayhawks would be shutout after holding the top offense in the nation to its fewest points all year — until it all began clicking for Sims.
He broke off a 30-yard run, followed by a 28-yard touchdown. Kansas was right back in it. Colorado was on Sims' mind during the comeback, but not the Cowboys. Oklahoma State was
able to close out a 20-14 victory — Sims had 138 yards.
The game officially put Sims on the map and gave the Jayhawks something to get excited about. Sims matched up against the supposed best back in the Big 12, Joseph Randle, and made him look insignificant by comparison. The adoration began pouring with Sims paying no mind.
4
As if standing out in the Big 12 wasn't enough, Sims said the flattop might return for his senior year.
"I'm not worried about being the best back," Sims said. "Just going out and having fun."

Thunder dealing Harden to Rockets a bold but smart move
HARDEN TRADE A SMART ONE FOR THUNDER
The Oklahoma City Thunder dealt guard James Harden to the Houston Rockets for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb and draft picks.
By Jacob Clemen
jclemen@kansan.com
Harden is a great talent and was a big part of Oklahoma City's trip to the NBA Finals last season. On the surface, the Rockets came away with more talent, and it is understandable then that many of the experts chastised the Thunder for making this move.
The trade, however, is a brilliant one for general manager Sam Presti and the Thunder. Not only is Martin a talented shooting guard who will be able to step into Harden's role, but Jeremy Lamb is a talented young player who should contribute for many years.
Martin is certainly not as talented as Harden, but he could have a more productive year this season than Harden had last year as he will be playing for a contract and has a higher career points per game average than Harden's.
Oklahoma City already has
Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka locked up in long-term deals and could not afford to sign Harden to the deal he wanted. Letting him go and getting a young talent in Lamb, future talent in the trio of picks and a productive player in Martin makes them better in the long run.
They avoid a drawn-out, distracting negotiation process during the season and should be able to pick up good cheap players with their picks. This will help sustain their high level of play beyond the contract that Harden could have accepted.
BIG TEN SHAPING UP
AS BEST CONFERENCE
IN COLLEGE
BASKETBALL
It is difficult to predict exactly how things will play out in college basketball this year, but if preseason projections are any indication, the Big Ten conference will be the premiere basketball conference in the nation.
The Indiana Hoosiers lead the way as the top-ranked team in the nation going into the season and are set to maintain that top 10 ranking the whole season. They are led by big man Cody Zeller, who finished one vote shy of being a unanimous choice for the pre-season All-American team that also features two other Big Ten players.
Two more Big Ten teams round out the top-five ranked teams in the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines. Ohio State returns from a Final Four appearance last season and should contend with Indiana for the Big Ten championship.
The Big Ten claims two more spots in the top 25 with the Michigan State Spartans and Wisconsin Badgers ranked 14 and 23 respectively. Both teams are led by great coaches in Tom Izzol and Bo Ryan and rarely lose on their home courts.
Along with these five top-25 ranked teams, the Big Ten also features the Minnesota Golden Gophers and Northwestern Wildcats who could both make the NCAA tournament this season. Minnesota went to the NIT championship game last season behind emerging power forward Rodney Williams and looks to its best player Trevor Mbakwe to return and lift the Gophers into the tournament.

match their change in leagues. The new look was not supposed to be unveiled until much later in the off-season, but MLB.com accidentally released images of the new logo in the player bio pages.
The new look features a dark blue and orange color scheme with the classic white "H" over an orange five-point star. This logo looks much better than the old logo in my opinion and will allow the Astros to enter the American League in style, though it is unlikely they will have much success there early on.

CLAIRE HOWARD/KANSAN
On a Halloween afternoon, the Jayhawks put everything they had on the pitch, yet they fell to the Texas Tech Red Raiders 2-0 in the quarterfinals round of the Big 12 Soccer Championship.
The Jayhawks hoped to avenge themselves against the Red Raiders, who finished their season with a record of 14-4-1. The Jayhawks, who finished 10-7-2, lost 3-1 when they last played the Red Raiders. The score was discrediting to the determination and overall good play that the Jayhawks showed in that match, as they maintained possession and played with strong heart.
The repeat happened for the Jayhawks the second go-around. The scoreboard may have said 2-0 at the end of the match, but it underscores the raw talent that Kansas presented on the pitch and the fact that the Jayhawks never gave up, competing in a hard-fought and well-played match until the final whistle.
Kansas was led in shooting by freshman forward Courtney Dickerson, who had four shots all on frame. Senior forwards Sarah Robbins and Amy Grow put up two shots apiece, the same as sophomore forward Jamie Fletcher and freshman forward Ashley Williams. The Jayhawks found the cleats of their numerous scoring talents, not allowing Texas Tech to walk away with the
Both teams were unable to convert on scoring opportunities starting off the match, leading to a scoreless first half. The Jayhawks were not short of opportunities, however, as they had eight shots, three of which were on target, compared to Texas Tech's three shots, none of them dangerous. The Jayhawks controlled the momentum in the midfield for the majority of the half.
victory without a fight.
The Red Raiders started the second half strong and quick, hounding the Kansas defense relentlessly. The defense, led by senior goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau, remained stout during the onslaught, stopping numerous shot attempts and corners as Kansas struggled with clearing the ball from their final third.
Eventually, the Red Raiders managed to find the back of the net, scoring in the 58th minute
from freshman forward Janine Beckie. They would score again in the 81st minute through senior forward Dawn Ward.
This season, the jayhawks have presented one of their toughest
The game proved to be a defensive duel between the two squads, who were very evenly matched despite what the seeds may have suggested. Kansas proved their defensive prowess by not allowing the Red Raiders to score for almost 60 minutes of play.
defensive squads in history, allowing less than 12 shots per game on average. Because allowing shots was something the team struggled with last season, the team should be proud of how strong their defensive line proved to be, as it came up with four shutouts and 93 saves this year.
Offensively, Kansas' passing game was solid as they created many intricate drives down the midfield that opened up dangerous opportunities in the box. The
Jayhawks' speed and vision on the field left the Red Raiders chasing after them for most of the first half and supporting how talented the offensive side for the Jayhawks has truly been this season.
Kansas showed versatility through its various scoring talents this season, with seven different players finding the back of the net and giving Kansas leeway on which players they could put up front as offensive weapons. The midfield for the layawhaks has also
improved this season, as Kansas has consistently controlled the pace, tempo and mentality of the game.
It comes as no surprise how successful of a season the Jayhawks have had, despite various setbacks ranging from injuries to an unlucky curse of not capitalizing on well set up opportunities.

Jayhawks look for strong outing at TCU, North Dakota dual meet
CHRIS SCHAEDER
cschaeder@kansan.com
The Kansas Swimming and Diving team welcomes TCU and North Dakota to Lawrence this weekend for a dual meet at the Robinson Natatorium.
The meet, which takes place on Friday at 5 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m., will be the Big 12 conference debut for the Horned Frogs.
TCU is coming off a victory at the Rice Invitational last Saturday, where the Horned Frogs edged out Rice 1,045-1,039 to claim the team title.
TCU swimmers include freshman Sara Brzozowski, whose time in the 1,650 free at the Rice Invitational was fourth in school in history, sophomore Ali Bleasdell, who had two victories in the 200
butterfly last meet and junior Ali Polhill, a consistent high-place finisher in freestyle and backstroke.
North Dakota is coming off of consecutive victories against rival South Dakota and St. Cloud State the past two Saturdays.
North Dakota swimmers to watch are senior Veronica Meddon, who had three first-place finishes against South Dakota in the 100 backstroke, 200 backstroke and 100 butterfly; freshman Madeline Smith, who won the 200 butterfly in the same meet; and freshman Caitlin Quon, who was awarded the Western Athletic Conference Swimmer of the Week award in the second week of October.
After defeating Rice in the team's first meet of the season, Kansas was defeated by perennial power
Minnesota. Kansas was able to respond from the Minnesota defeat with a victory over Nebraska-Omaha in Omaha last Thursday.
Look for freshman Chelsie Miller to continue her strong performances after earning a victory against Rice and two against Nebraska Omaha. Junior Morgan Sharp also looks to continue her recent success after she earned two first-place finishes in the 100-yard butterfly and 200-yard IM against Nebraska Omaha.
The meet against TCU and North Dakota will be the last for Kansas in Lawrence until February.

Jayhawks to face unconventional Baylor squad

Kansas faces one of the Big 12's most unorthodox offenses in the Baylor Bears Saturday at 7 p.m. in Waco, Texas.
BRANDON SMITH/KANSAM
Instead of keeping its hitters tight on the net and trying to force attacks through the Jayhawk block, Baylor instead elects to hit from farther back to avoid the block and create angles that defenses aren't used to.
"I think they just have more spacing in some of their sets off the net, which creates a little different angles," coach Ray Bechard said. "They don't necessarily challenge the block as much as other teams might, so they try to create angles that the ball's going to be in and maybe not force it into the block."
Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc said that by attacking
away from the net, the Bears can hit either over or around the Jayhawk block.
When the Jayhawks and Bears met for the first time this season on Oct. 6 in Lawrence, Kansas defeated Baylor 3-2. However, the Bears fough

back from a 2-0 deficit to force a fifth set. The Bears used its own block to get back into the match, finishing with 13 blocks compared to the lavwhacks' three blocks.
Bechard said his team should never be outblocked by 10 and that his middle blockers must stay home because Baylor's setter, senior Kate Harris, feeds the middle blockers in
situations that would usually go to outside hitters.
"The setters' off the net," Bechard said. "Typically that's a time where you take a little safer set to one of your right sides or your left side. But they have a connection to where the settter can still come off the net and force what we call 'force their middle.'"
Baylor and Kansas rank second and third in the Big 12 in fewest blocks allowed. Since both teams emphasize negating the block, this puts a premium on digging. Kansas may be able to distance itself from Baylor here, as the Bears allow 14.3 digs per set and Kansas gets 15.9 digs per set.
Junior libero Brienne Riley leads the Jayhawks' back line with 466 digs on the season for a 5.18 digs per set average. Earlier this year she moved into second place all-time in school history in digs and now
has 1.351.
Also, freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery and sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers have played pivotal roles for Kansas on the defensive end, even though they are hitters. They are the only two offensive weapons
averaging at least one dig per set for Kansas, with Albers averaging 1.24 dig per set and Dockery with 2.08.
"I won't be expecting us to be blocking tons of balls, but defensively I think that we're going to have a lot of opportunities to dig balls," larmoc said.
The match against Baylor (16-9.
3-7 Big 12) marks the return of a normal schedule for Kansas, which is 20-4 overall and 8-2 in the Big 12. After falling to Iowa State last Wednesday, Kansas didn't play that Saturday like it normally would. And instead of hosting West Virginia on Halloween in its normal
Wednesday match, the two teams moved the match to Monday to accommodate West Virginia's travel schedule.
Bechard gave his players the same amount of time off as he does during a normal week, with the time off just being on different days.
Senior defensive specialist Morgan Boub said the Jayhawks handled the different game and practice schedule well, and that playing only one match during a nine-day span gave them more time to recover.
"We've still got done what we needed to do, and I think our off
days have been productive rest days for us, and when we come back in the gym we're ready to get back at work." Boub said.

The car of San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey, is showered with confetti during the baseball team's World Series victory parade on Market Street, on Wednesday in San Francisco. The parade for the team's second championship in three years went along Market Street and ended with a celebration in front of Civl Hall.

Thousands line the streets to celebrate World Series victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Orange-and-black clad hoodies flooded the streets of San Francisco on Wednesday for a ticker-tape parade celebrating the World Series champion Giants — a Halloween treat made even sweeter as a repeat performance from 2010.
Tens of thousands of people decked out in the team's holiday-appropriate colors stood 30 deep behind barriers, climbed trees and
mounted rooftops along the city's main commercial street to watch their favorite players wave from individual convertibles.
Standing next to a gold Rolls Royce that served as his ride, Giants manager Bruce Bochy credited the fans with helping lift San Francisco to its second World Series victory in three years, an improbable double play for a team that had not won a World Series title since 1954.
"The support they gave us was unwavering," said Bochv. who
hoisted the World Series trophy during the procession but had to walk the last few blocks when the Rolls broke down.
"Even when we were six to seven games back, they kept filling the park," he said. "They never gave up on us. They are like part of the club."
As with the 2010 parade, this year's edition drew a cross-section of the region's diversity, from children who were allowed to skip school to older couples who had

Clouds of black, orange and white confetti were shot from cannons positioned on roofs along the canyon-like, skyscraper-lined street.

been Giants fans since the team arrived in San Francisco from New York in 1958.
The unifying energy of the Gianis' latest victory was evident as San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith drove the car carrying Giants pitcher Matt Cain and his family, while 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh did the honors for Giant Brandon Belt.
The convertibles gave fans good views along the parade route that began at the foot of Market Street near San Francisco Bay and covered about 1 1/2 miles to Civic Center
"It's unbelievable! Unbelievable! Just great!" said fireup-up right fielder Hunter Pence, who was acquired in a midseason deal and led pregame pep talks.
With the victory parade coinciding with Halloween, costumed masses brought an even more festive feel to what city officials hoped would be a family friendly, alcohol-free event.
Many fans carried brooms as a reminder of the Giants' four-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers. Others crowded cap-to-glove on the sidewalks strained to catch handfuls of candy thrown from parade floats.
Star reliever Sergio Romo, wearing a T-shirt that read, "I just look illegal," whipped the roaring crowd into a frenzy when he got out of his convertible and mingled.
Richmond resident Kevin Yarbrough wore a giant white panda costume in tribute to Giants slugger Pablo Sandoval, whose nickname is
Plaza, the scene of a rally.
Many people camped overnight at Civic Center Plaza to ensure a good vantage point for the rally. They erected tents and crawled into sleeping bags for a few hours of uncomfortable sleep amid the chill and drizzle of the foggy night.
"You've got to come out and celebrate like this. You meet a whole new family, make new friends, and it really lets the community celebrate in a positive way," he said.
James Darden, 42, dubbed the tent city "Occupy San Francisco Giants" and said the wait was worth it.
Bottles of whiskey and wine were passed around in the morning, and the pungent scent of marijuana floated through the air.
the "Panda."
Yarbough got up early and put in time at work before reaching the parade route around 7:30 a.m.
"I'm front and center" the Yount-
ville resident said. "There's no other
place I'd rather be right now."

OFFENSE
For the third straight week Michael Cummings will start as quarterback for the Jayhawks although Dave Crew will remain captain. As far as Big 12 defenses go, Kansas will catch a break in Waco, Texas. Baylor is ranked 120th in total defense in the FBS — a spot occupied by Kansas last season — and has allowed more than 200 rushing yards per conference game. James Sims, anyone?

Here's where things get a little tricky. As bad as the Bears' defense has been their offense is just the opposite. Baylor ranks number one in the nation in passing offense and is scoring 44 points per game. Kansas has, for the most part, done well at limiting high-scoring offenses — see TCU, Oklahoma State and Texas — but those games were at home. The good news?

MOMENTUM
There is something to be said about outplaying a team you haven't beaten since 1938. Texas now joins Rice, Northern Illinois and Oklahoma State as games that could have — should have — been won, but that very well might boost the Jayhawks' confidence even more. Put it this way. Mack Brown is not happy about that win.
10
AT A GLANCE
Defense has gone out the window for Baylor. The team is ranked last in the FBS and is allowing 42 points per game. That's not to say that this Bears team is an easy win. Terrance Williams has been deadly at wide out, gaining 1,200 yards and nine touchdowns. Stopping Baylor on offense will dictate the Jayhawks' chances of a victory.
COACHING
Since Baylor is allowing more than 350 passing yards, and Charlie Weis loves the long ball, we could finally see Michael Cummings using his arm strength. Kansas will need to score more than its average of 17 points to win and it's up to Weis to make that happen.
AJF
Neis
PLAYER TO WATCH
Since returning from a three-game suspension, James Sims has rushed for more than 100 yards five times. The one game he didn't reach that mark, Sims scored two touchdowns. Weis has called him the best back in the Big 12 and plenty of others are jumping on that bandwagon.
Sims
SPECIAL TEAMS
After allowing both a kickoff and punt return touchdown against Oklahoma, coach Charlie Weis said it was "all hands on deck" for special teams. Against Texas, the longest return went for 14 yards, a significant improvement. There's no question special teams is Kansas' biggest cause for concern and that will likely be the case until a permanent kicker is found.
QUESTION MARKS
Football
Aside from Northern Illinois, the Kansas defense has not been at its best on the road. Can the Jayhawks put together more defensive pressure on Baylor than they did to Oklahoma and Kansas State?
Baylor quarterback Nick Florence has been ripe with bad passes. Will Kansas be able to snag a few?
Can the passing game finally produce?
Michael Cumming's arm will be needed more against the Bears than the Long-horns, but is he up to the task?
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
Kansas wins. Robert Griffin III credited Baylor's 31-30 overtime win in Lawrence as the signature moment of his Heisman campaign. Payback in Waco and the Jayhawks' first conference win in 18 tries would start the program's redemption. No more moral victories for this team; they are too close to victory for that.

OFFENSE
Baylor's offense is a mix of good and bad. Nick Florence passed for a minimum of 289 yards in all seven games this year for the Bears. Cornerbacks have a hard time defending Terrance Williams, even in double coverage. However, Baylor's rushing is below average, and the offense has turned the ball over 13 times in the last four games. If the Bears can't take care of the football, they are in for a long Saturday at home. Left guard Dylr Richardson will sit out during the first half after being tossed out of last week's game against Iowa State for an unsportsmanlike penalty.

Kansas will face a Baylor defense that runs 4-4-2-5 nickel package. Linebacker Eddie Lackey, who leads the team in tackles for a loss of 5.5 yards and is third on the team in tackles, will lead the defense. Bryce Hager leads the team in tackles with 70, second on the team in tackles for a loss, and will rotate with the linebackers. The Bears have recorded eight sacks and seven interceptions for the season, but since conference play, they've only gathered three sacks and one interception in the last four games. If Baylor's defensive woes carry over to Saturday, Kansas has a realistic shot of having its best offensive outcuff of the season.

MOMENTUM
Baylor's season started off great. The non-conference schedule was nothing challenging for the Bears as they managed to score at least 47 points or more each game. The conference matches have been a different story so far. Baylor has allowed 52.5 points per game in the Big 12 this season. It's no surprise why the Bears are still seeking their first conference win. One small upside Baylor has is that it's won three of the last four meetings against Kansas since 2006, including two games where the Bears won by one point.
BAYPORT 3
AT A GLANCE
Baylor has an offense where the passing game is far more dominant than the running game. Defensively, the Bears have been atrocious. A few of their matches in the Big 12 have resulted in shootouts, most notably against West Virginia when it defeated Baylor, 70-63. Even though Baylor scored 50 points twice this season in conference matches, it lost those games against West Virginia and Texas.
COACHING
Art Briles is in his fifth season with Baylor. Last season was his best year with the Bears after he coached the team to a 10-3 record and went 6-3 in the conference, the best during his tenure in Waco. After spending 20 years as a high school football coach and an athletics director, Briles first college football job came in 2000 where he was the running backs coach at Texas Tech for three years. Prior to arriving in Baylor, Briles coached at Houston and posted a 34-28 record in five seasons.
PENGERTAIN

PLAYER TO WATCH
Wide receiver Terrance Williams will be a challenge for the Jayhawks' defense. Williams, the nation's leader in receiving yards, averages 172 yards per game and 213 yards per game in conference contests Baylor's offense heavily

QUESTION MARKS
fr
Kicker Aaron Jones' longest field goal of the season came from 44 yards out. He's eight of 12 on field goal attempts and inconsistent more than 40 yards out, making three of five from that range. Spencer Roth barely averages 40 yards per punt this season and is placed seventh in the league. The Bears special teams return game isn't very strong either as Anthony Goodley's collected 351 kick returns yards
Can Baylor stop James Sims?
ther as Antwan Goodley's collected 351 kick return yards on the season. The Bears special teams units present little to no threat to Kansas.
The same question was asked last week when Kansas was preparing to face Texas. Baylor is ninth in the Big 12 in stopping the run. James Sims had a career-high in rushing yards with 176 last week. He can duplicate his rushing success against another team that's struggled against the run.
Will Nick Florence be consistent?
At times, Baylor has made its living in the passing game. However, even though the Bears are first in the nation in passing, Nick Florence co-leads the Big 12 in interceptions with seven. If Florence continues his turnover mishaps against Kansas, it could mean the difference between a win and a loss.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ..
Kansas' offense can't compete with Baylor's defense. Baylor hasn't done well this year in conference play. Kansas has a chance to go on the road and put up some points against a Baylor defense that hasn't fared well against many offenses this season.

BIG 12 PREDICTIONS
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY
NO. 24 OKLAHOMA STATE 5-2 (3-1) VS. NO. 2 KANSAS STATE 8-0 (5-0)
Since Oct. 13, Oklahoma State has allowed only four offensive touchdowns in its last 12 quarters of game play. Coach Mike Gundy knows that the Cowboys' defense will have to work extra hard and the offense must continue to light up the scoreboard if they want to beat Kansas State.
But stopping Collin Klein and K-State is a tall order. The Wildcats went six-of-six in their red zone scoring last week against Texas Tech. Klein's versatility has helped K-State remain undefeated. He's yet to be stopped by a defense as defensive coordinators are trying to figure out a way to slow him down.
Although it would be huge for Oklahoma State to get a big win in Manhattan, K-State is motivated to hold on to its high ranking.
OU STATE
KSU wins, 42-27
IOWA STATE 5-3 (2-3) VS. NO. 12 OKLAHOMA 5-2 (3-1)
Oklahoma is coming off its second loss at home this season. The Sooners have lost to two unbeaten teams. Quarterback Landry Jones wants to get off to a fast start and set his team back on track.
Iowa State picked up a win last week against Baylor, but has a bigger opponent to take on this week. While Cyclones fans would like to see the team get a winning streak going, the Cyclones are last in the Big 12 in total offense and will face an Oklahoma team ranked first in the Big 12 in total defense.
T
With that head-to-head matchup, Oklahoma should have this game in the bag.
OU wins, 38-3
NO. 23 TEXAS 6-2 (3-2) VS. NO. 18 TEXAS TECH 6-2 (3-2)
In-state rivals clash as both schools hold identical records going into Week 10.
After Texas lost two straight games, it bounced back the last two weeks and barely edged out Baylor and Kansas. Although head coach Mack Brown was happy with a win, the Longhorns know they will have to prepare better for Texas Tech.
Texas Tech's passing game, which is led by Seth Doege, is very strong and ranked third in the nation. The Red Raiders climbed high in the rankings and are trying to find consistency and finish higher before the season is over.
The difference-maker in this game will be Texas Tech's turnovers, which has committed 10 giveaways this season. Since Texas is one of the top scoring teams in the conference, it will take advantage of anything given to it.
TCU
HORNED FROGS
UT wins, 31-21
TCU 5-3 (2-3) VS. NO. 21 WEST VIRGINIA 5-2 (2-2)
Big 12 newcomers made some first impressions but have declined throughout the season. TCU has lost three of its last four while West Virginia is on a two-game losing streak and didn't play last week.
All eyes will be on quarterback Geno Smith, who was the favorite to win the Heisman but has been rusty the past couple of games. The Mountainiers still have a strong passing game yet no defense to reward the offense for its efforts.
This gives young quarterback Treone Boykin, who is expected to play after suffering a knee injury last week, a chance to have a good game early in his career. Coach Gary Patterson has always stressed the importance of defense to his team as they have a challenge before them with Smith trying to rebound.
While TCU's defense is superior, Smith will be poised to win. It's felt like forever for him and his team-mates since they last won.
WVU wins, 45-30

New SEC additions providing more offensive firepower
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The Southeastern Conference's first expansion since 1991 has added not only new travel and experiences for newcomers Texas A&M and Missouri, but also the rest of the league.
The new look of the SEC isn't limited to the changes in its
geography, though, as the Aggies have remained one of the top offenses in the country, shaking up things in a league long known for defense.
The Aggies are third in the nation in scoring (45.5 ppg) and tied for fifth in total offense (542.88 ppg). It's nothing new for first-year Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin, whose Houston team topped the country
in scoring and total offense last season.
Despite that success in Conference USA, many doubted he could replicate it in a league where five teams finished in the top 10 nationally in defense last season.
Sumnil was matter-of-fact when asked if he ever questioned whether his offense could succeed in the SEC.
"If we didn't think it could work, we wouldn't run it," he said.
Still, he understands why people were reticent to believe this offense could put up huge numbers against much tougher competition. Especially in a conference where no team has finished in the top 5 nationally in scoring since Florida was fourth in 2008, or total offense since the Gators finished second
in 2000.
"People have the right," Sumnilin said. "We're the new guys in the league so I don't see that as derogatory or anything like that. You're always going to be skeptical of anything that's new or that you don't know about."

Auburn coach Gene Chizik saw just how powerful A&M's offense could be on Saturday in the 63-21 A&M win. Texas A&M had 34 first downs, 671 yards and scored touchdowns on seven of eight possessions with quarterback Johnny Manziel before he was replaced after the first possession of the third quarter.
"I think that his is a different type of offense," Chizik said. "They are spread, no-huddle offenses that
are obviously difficult to defend. Some are very different others. This one is very unique."
deliver your message and do it with accurate information, it definitely speeds up the process. He does that as well as anybody."
"We're in the best league in the country for football and as new guys to the league we've got to prove ourselves.
Sumlin believes some of Texas A&M's success comes from his team having a chip on its shoulder because of those who expected the Aggies to fail in their move from the Big 12 to the SEC.
"We do have something to prove," he said. "I've said that from the beginning, we're in the best league in the country for football and as new guys to the league we've got to prove ourselves. I think our guys understand that, I think as coaches we understand it."
Mississippi State defensive coordinator Chris Wilson, who worked with Sumlin at Oklahoma from 2005-07, is one person in the SEC that isn't a bit surprised by Sumlin's success at A&M. No. 17 Mississippi State hosts 16th-ranked A&M on Saturday.

Georgia coach Mark Rich has also enjoyed the change in scenery that came with adding the new teams this season.
"In life, change is good sometimes," he said. "You start doing the same thing over and over again, and sometimes that can be tiresome."

FC Barcelona has long standing tradition
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BARCELONA, Spain — Nearly 20 minutes into the latest clash between Spain's most popular football teams, Barcelona's 98,000-seat Camp Nou stadium erupted into a deafening roar. Tens of thousands of Catalans in the city at the heart of their separatist movement chanted in unison "independence!"
More than ever, FC Barcelona, known affectionately as Barca, is living up to its motto of being "more than a club" for this wealthy northeastern region where Spain's economic crisis is fueling separatist sentiment.
Lifelong Barca club member Enric Pujol was at Camp Nou for this month's game against Real Madrid, the team of Spain's capital. Wearing his burgundy-and-blue Barca
jersey, Puiol also held one of the hundreds of pro-independence "estelada" flags, featuring a white star in a blue triangle, which bristled throughout the stands.
"It was a beautiful emotion to see Camp Nou like that," Pujol said. "Barca is more than a club because of the values it transmits. It is linked to Catalan culture. In this sense it is a club and a social institution that acts like our flag."
Barca has been seen as a bastion of Catalan identity dating back to the three decades of dictatorship when Catalans could not openly speak, teach or publish in their native Catalan language. Barcelona writer Manuel Vazquez Montalban famously called the football team "Catalonia's unarmed symbolic army."
Barca-Real Madrid matches have a nickname "el clasico" — the classic — and they are one of the world's most-watched sporting events seen by 400 million people.
in 30 countries.
But local passions run high. In Spain, where football has deep political and cultural connotations, many see the clashes of Spain's most successful
Civil War of the late 1930s and resulting right-wing dictatorship that ended after Franco's death in 1975.
teams as a proxy battle between wealthy Catalonia and the central government in Madrid. If Barca is a symbol of Catalan nationalism, Real Madrid is an emblem of a unified Spain.
Franco's soldiers killed Barca's club president in 1936, and the club
"Barca is an anomaly. There is no other club with its particular history."
Barca, like every institution in Spain, was marked by the Spanish

odico. The chant became a kind of code for expressing Catalan pride
"Barca is an anomaly. There is no other club with its particular history," said Folch. "It survived the Franco dictatorship, and has always been a focal point for protest and ferment where sport has mixed with politics."
And politics is a very hot topic these days in Catalonia.
The upswing in separatist sentiment in Catalonia has forced both the club and its players—many of whom form the backbone of Spain's world champion national team—to try a difficult balancing act between supporting their most fervent pro-independence fans without alienating the millions of others who are not.
Two weeks after the politically
charged "clasico," Barca president Sandro Rosell made his first official visit to southern Spain to cool tensions at a meeting of Barca fan clubs.
"I don't know what information you are receiving here, but I preferred to come here and say on behalf of the club that Barca will never get mixed up in political issues," Rosell told the 1,000 Spanish fans, promising that Barca would never display a mosaic of the separatist "estelada" flag at Camp Nou.
"This doesn't mean that this isn't a Catalan club and that of course we will defend our roots and origins, but one thing shouldn't be mixed with the other. One thing is politics and the other is identity. Barca unites us all."
POLITICS
NFL players share thoughts on elections
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — In a rare show of unity, President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney took turns praising Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III a couple of weeks ago for a video that aired on the Fox network's NFL pregame show. They uttered polished, rote lines such as Romney's "RG3 hasn't been in Washington very long, but he's already created change" and Obama's "You're welcome at my house for a pickup game anytime."
Politics injecting itself into sports, a ploy as old as the forward pass. Whether the sportsmen are actually paying attention is another matter.
Four years ago, it was hard to avoid political talk in some NFL locker rooms during the buildup to the Obama-McCain election. Players were leading voter registration drives. Teammates with adjacent lockers debated taxes. It got to the point that Cleveland Browns coach Romeo Crennel declared any discussion about the election at the team facility off-limits because he feared it would interfere with game preparations.
In 2012, it's just not the same.
This year is in Denver Broncos linebacker Wesley Woodyard. "Not to say that we weren't more focused on football back then, but we are really focused on football. But politics, it's kind of quite
are hooked by this election, players said, not the casual player-voter.
"Everybody's tuned in to see what points Barack and Romney are making on different topics." STEPHEN BOWEN
"Last time it seemed to be a little bit more popular in the mainstream," said Miami Dolphins tight end Anthony Fasano, who supported McCain in 2008 and plans to vote for Romney on Tuesday. "And people with public images were speaking out a little more than I think they have this election. Our profession — and throughout the sports world and the entertainment world — I think everyone came together and put more effort into their support for whoever in 2008."
That doesn't stop the candidates from trying to win their support, although it helps to do some homework ahead of time. Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, visited a Browns practice earlier this month and mistakenly confused backup quarterback Colt McCoy for starter Brandon Weeden while speaking to a team huddle, hardly the kind of mistake one wants to make in a competitive state like Ohio.
Nobody's said anything about it. You pretty much can tell how guys feel about the election, but nobody's really talking about it."
And, of course, it doesn't take a political science major to figure out why 2008 was a hot topic.
"That was the first time an African-American had made it that far—and then a female vice-presidential candidate," Redskins defensive tackle Barry Cofield said. "There were a lot more bullet points to talk about."
That's not to say that the NFL players are living in a political vacuum this time around. Cofeld said there're some election talk in the Redskins weight room after every Obama-Romney debate, and teammates Stephen Bowen, Santana Moss and Trent Williams recently talked politics while sitting on the sofa outside the locker room.
"I think he saw the red jerseys and got us mixed up," Weeden said. "But he's got more important things on his mind right now than me and Galt. It was a good brush."
No matter the election cycle, the conversations among the players often turn to a voting dilemma familiar to athletes in all of the major professional sports: Many come from working-class backgrounds, but now earn hefty salaries.
"Everybody's tuned in to see what points Barack and Romney are making on different topics," Bowen said. "I'm very interested."
It's the political die-hards who

Beyond the locker room, the growth of social media has given the more politically savvy athletes new avenues for making their support known. Three NFL players — Matt Forte of the Chicago Bears, Maurice Jones-Drew of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Antoine Bethea of the Indianapolis Colts — touted their support for Obama in a YouTube video titled "NFL Players Gotta Vote."
aren't that far removed from not being well-paid, from being in that 47 percent that Romney spoke about. That's the way I look at it," Cofield said. I still remember being in that spot, so that's why I lean Democrat. But our paychecks scream Republican."

Then there's Twitter, which gives players an unfiltered forum to opine about the state of the election and the country in general. Dolphins running back Reggie Bush no doubt spoke for many when he tweeted: "When President Obama and Mitt Romney go back and forth saying the other one is lying. How do you know who to believe? Loll!"
The Redskins naturally get drawn into the political discussion more than most teams, given that they play only a few miles from the White House. Those who crunch numbers love to point out that Washington has made the playoffs only once under a Democratic administration since 1945, or that the team's performance in its final home game before the election
correlated flawlessly with the incumbent party's performance from 1936 to 2000, a quirk streak that was broken when the Redskins lost and President George W. Bush won re-election in 2004.

Housing and dining costs for on-campus residents may increase by an average of 2.5 percent next school year.
At its meeting on Nov.14 and 15, the Kansas Board of Regents will review the proposal submitted by the Department of Student Housing that outlines the increase, which will affect students at all on-campus living locations, including residence and scholarship halls, Jayhawker Towers, Stouffer Place Apartments and the Sunflower House. The increases differ by location and room type.
Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said the higher costs are a result of expected increases in operating expenses.
"Each year, we take a look at what the rates for the following year are going to need to be," Robertson said. "With utilities, for example, we're expecting a four to six percent increase in costs. That makes up a significant amount of our budget, so we have to plan accordingly."
Income from housing and dining fees is used for operating costs, including utilities, personnel, maintenance products and any debt from building renovations.
"We're an auxiliary service, so we operate only off of the income we take in from the room rates and rent rates," Robertson said.
As part of an annual process, the department of student housing proposed the rates to the Student Housing Advisory Board, which is composed of faculty, staff and presidents from each of the four
government-housing groups. Students on the board took the proposal to their respective organizations for further review by students. Then, the board met again to vote on these rates.
"We did all of that in September and October, and then we forwarded those rates to the Board of Regents for approval." Robertson said.
Kristen Hays, a sophomore from Waterville, is planning her living situation for next fall. Hays, a resident in a scholarship hall, is debating whether to continue live on campus, and she is considering Jayhawker Towers.
Hays said cost is a major aspect when choosing a living space, but she does not think the increase in housing and dining rates is enough to affect her decision.
A two-person apartment at
Jayhawker Towers cost $5,400 for the 2012-2013 school year, and the Blue Basic dining plan costs $2,860, according to the University contract rates. If the Kansas Board of Regents approves the 2013-2014 proposal, the apartment would cost about $5,540 and dining about $2,930, for a total increase of about $200.
"I don't think the increase is enough to make me rethink that because, in the grand scheme of things, it's a year, and it's about $200" she said. "I don't think $200 is a big deal."
Melanie Lux, a freshman from St. Joseph, Mo., thinks the increase would be problematic for some students.
"I see it as a big deal because I'm from another state, and I pay out-of-state costs," Lux said. "I think it will make it harder for out-of-state
kids."
Lux, who currently lives in Lewis Hall, is planning on living in The Connection apartments next fall. She said it would cost about the same as living in the residence halls.
"I think I'll like it better," Lux said. "I think KU costs are fair for the most part, but it is going to cost me about the same."
Robertson said even with the increase, University housing and dining rates would still be below rates of other Big 12 schools. She said this is a commitment the University has made through the years.
"We try to keep the buildings in great condition and balance that with keeping costs as low as we can for students," Robertson said.

When Shawnee junior Julia Urban was in a pinch for book money, she considered selling her plasma or signing up for a clinical drug trial.
Urban thought the financial aid she applied for and received at the beginning of the semester would be enough with her part-time job, but it wasn't. And she had maxed out her student loans.
"I had planned in advance and I found myself in completely different circumstances," Urban said. "You never know how long you'll have your part-time job, or how many hours you'll get or when your schedule might change for school."
Urban was in difficult financial straits, and turned to KU Endowment for help.
After being turned down for student loans through private lenders, Urban was approved for $2,500 within 24 hours for a KU Endowment student loan.
Endowment is a private, nonprofit fundraising organization. It relies mostly on donations from alumni and University supporters. The loan program began in 1931 by Frederick Speh, in memory of his son, a student who died in a car accident.
"For nearly as long as KU
Endowment has existed, private gifts have benefitted students in a myriad of ways, including our loan program, said Dale Seuferling, Endowment president.
And when Urban needed her loan in 2008, the year of the Great Recession, so did 2,626 other students. That year, KUE disbursed $5.2 million in loan dollars, a record amount.
Endowment student loans peaked in the recession years of 2008-2010 and have since decreased. University financial aid officers encourage students to seek federal student loans before applying for Endowment loans because the federal loans offer more favorable terms.
"The economy seems to be an important variable in loan demand," said Lisa Scheller, Endowment spokeswoman.
Endowment had a 44 percent increase in loan disbursements
from fiscal years 2008 through 2010, said Scheller. Since then, the number of new applicants and loans disbursed have decreased, with a combined $5.1 million disbursed in fiscal years 2011 and 2012 after peaking in 2009 at 2,627 new loans and $5.2 million.
Endowment loans are available for students on all of the University's campuses, with a fixed rate of 5 percent, lower than the 7.8 percent average for private loans, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Aside from the economy, said Brenda Maigaard, Assistant Vice Provost of Financial Aid & Scholarships, the decrease in the number of Endowment loans issued is a result of Graduate PLUS loans, made available in 2006-2007 to post-secondary students. Graduate PLUS loans do not cap out like Endowment loans and allow graduate students to borrow up to the full net cost of attendance. In fiscal year 2011, University graduate students borrowed about $3.8 million in Graduate PLUS loans, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
Repayment doesn't have to be made until after graduation, but Urban said because hers was classified as an emergency loan, she had to pay it back within six months, and found herself defaulting.
"I take most of the burden of responsibility," Urban said. "I was so blinded by needing the money and just doing whatever I needed to do to stay in school, but I do recommend it if you are going to be responsible."
Urban paid the loan off this summer and works a full-time job. She said now she keeps her student loans organized on a spreadsheet, because lenders did not reach out to her after she had moved.
"I really don't know what I would've done if KU didn't have the option to get loans through them," Urban said. "I would have probably started selling everything, so I was really fortunate I didn't have to do anything too dramatic."

Police arrest 20 at Halloween party
Police targeted Halloween house parties on Friday, Oct. 26, issuing nearly 30 criminal violations and busting a party where liquor was sold to minors.
"It was being operated like a business without a liquor license," said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman.
The Fake ID 101 Taskforce aims to enforce underage drinking laws. The majority of the citations were issued at a house party in the Oread Neighborhood, which includes four charges of operating as an open saloon and social hosting, according to a press release. More than 200 people attended, and several kgs of beer along with $800 in proceeds from alcohol sales were seized.
The grant-funded Taskforce is comprised of officers from the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control, KU Office of Public Safety, Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Lawrence Police Department. For the past two semesters, it has focused on unlawful social hosting, or the allowance of individuals under 21 to consume alcohol on your property. It is the first time the Taskforce issued open saloon charges. If convicted, the misdemeanor charge is punishable by a fine of no more than $500, and imprisonment for no more than 90 days. A social hosting conviction is punishable of a fine no less than $1,000.
CRIME
Twenty-nine criminal violations were issued to 20 individuals during the night of enforcement: 11 for possession of alcohol by a minor, nine for possession of an open container or consuming liquor in public, four for unlawful hosting of minors or social hosting, four for open saloon and one for possession or use of a fake or other person's identification.
Rachel Salyer
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE FAKE ID 101 TASKFORCE?
"I think we all know that there's a risk that's going to happen, but when it happens, the student body gets really upset, because as students, we feel that we sometimes have the right to underage drink. So when they come and tell us that we can't do it, it creates an uproar that makes you think twice about the consequences, but even then, I don't think it will make that big of a difference."
Amy Sawaya
Casey Cox Senior, Wichita
Emily Lubarsky
Senior, Shawnee
"I think going against the law is a big risk. If you know you're not supposed to be hosting a party with underage drinking, it's like being in the drug business. It's the risk you take."
"All the house parties I go to, there are still people there to ID you. It is a little bit too harsh, but if you're stupid enough to be of age and buy it for people who aren't, you kind of have to expect it."
MARK THOMAS
"I feel like the police are pretty lax in a college town because they understand that those things are going to happen. I know in the beginning of the year, they came down hard to set an example, but overall, for them to charge students for selling to minors and for minors having, I would think they did it to an example. I've never heard it happening before, so I feel like they did it to prevent other people from doing it."

"The big thing is you have to go to your precinct," said Jamie Shew, Douglas County clerk. "A lot of the confusion that happens on campus is that everyone thinks they can vote at the campus location on Election Day and you cannot. It is only for students who live in that precinct, which is basically Daisy hill."

Candidates advocate bipartisanship
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa — Two days from judgment by the voters, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney raced across competitive battleground states on Sunday, stressing differences on the economy, health care and more while professing a willingness to work across party lines to end gridlock in Washington.
"You have the power," Obama, the most powerful political leader in the world, told thousands of cheering supporters in New Hampshire as the race moved toward a close finish.
and his allies began advertising heavily in the campaign's final days.
Boos from Romney's partisans in Cleveland turned to appreciative laughter when the Republican nominee began a sentence by saying, "If the president were to be elected," and ended it with, "It's possible but not likely."
After a campaign than began more than a year ago, late public opinion polls were unpredictably tight for the nationwide popular vote. But they suggested an advantage for the president in the state-by-state competition for electoral votes that will settle the contest.
In Des Moines, he said he would meet regularly with "good men and women on both sides of the aisle" in Congress. Later, in Cleveland, he said of Obama, "Instead of bridging the divide, he's made it wider."
Conceding nothing, Romney set his first foray of the fall into Pennsylvania. The state last voted for a Republican presidential candidate in 1988, but the challenger
Obama had New Hampshire,
Florida, Ohio and Colorado in his
"Instead of bridging the divide, [Obama's] made it wider."
MITT ROMNEY Presidential Candidate
The two rivals and their running mates flew from state to state as the last of an estimated 1 million
sights for the day, and judging from the polls, a slight wind at his back. So much so that one conservative group cited a string of surveys that favor the president as it emailed an urgent plea for late-campaign donations so it could end his time in the White House.
In New Hampshire, the president said he wants to work across party lines, but said he won't give up priorities such as college financial aid or the health care law he pushed through Congress.
campaign commercials were airing in a costly attempt to influence a diminishing pool of voters.
More than 27 million ballots have been cast in 34 states and the District of Columbia, although none will be counted until Election Day on Tuesday.
Obama and Romney disagree sharply about the approach the nation should take to the slow-growth economy and high unemployment, and the differences have helped define the campaign. Most notably, Romney wants to extend tax cuts that are due to expire without exception, while Obama wants to allow them to expire on incomes over $250,000.
At the same time, poll shows bipartisanship is popular, in the abstract, at least, which accounts for the emphasis the candidates are placing in the race's final days on working across political aisles.
Obama's term has been littered with the legislative wreckage left behind by constant struggles with congressional Republicans. Yet his trip to New Jersey last Wednesday was a model of nonpartisanship as he accompanied Republican Gov. Chris Christie on a tour of destruction caused by Superstorm Sandy. The governor repeatedly praised the administration's response to the storm.
CAMPUS
Muslim student group hosts awareness events
The Muslim Student Association wants to teach others about Muslims and the Islamic faith through its Islam Awareness Week on campus. The group will host events throughout the week.
"The purpose is to educate people on Islam and Muslims," said lesha Kincaid, president of the Muslim Student Association. "There are a lot of stereotypes and misconceptions out there, so we hope to show what Islam is really about and get rid of some of those stereotypes and misconceptions."
Kincaid said some of the misconceptions of Islam make people think it is nothing more than terrorism, oppression among women, disliking America and the Prophet Muhammad portrayed as a war lord. The Muslim Student Association has an informational booth in the Kansas Union lobby every day this week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each day will feature a different themed table.
The two main events are "The Truth About Controversy" a lecture by Dr. Sabeel Ahmed on Wednesday at 7 to 9 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union and the documentary on the life of the Prophet Muhammad on Friday at 4:30 p.m. in the Big 12 room.
Specific details on Muslim Awareness Week events and informational tables can be found at calendarku.edu.

Bishop Tawadros speaks with reporters in Cairo, Egypt's ancient Coptic Christian church named Tawadros as the new pope, chosen in an elaborate ceremony where a blindfolded boy drew the name of the next patriarch from a crystal chalice.
Egypt's Coptic Christian Church selects new pope
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO — Egypt's ancient Coptic Christian Church named a new pope on Sunday to spiritually guide the community through a time when many fear for their future with the rise of Islamists to power and deteriorating security after last year's uprising.
The death earlier this year of Pope Shenouda II, a familiar figure who led the church for 40 years, heightened the sense of insecurity felt by many Egyptian Christians. They will now look to Bishop Tawadros, who will be ordained Nov. 18 as Pope Tawadros II, to fill
the void in leadership.
Tawadros, 60, was chosen in an elaborate Mass where a blindfolded boy drew the name of the next patriarch from a crystal chalice.
"The situation for us in Egypt is not stable," said 27-year-old Peter Nasser, a volunteer at the Mass. "We hope the incoming pope will make our problems known to the outside world," he added, voicing hopes that Tawadros will also raise the profile of Christians in this country.
Copts, estimated at about 10 percent of the country's 83 million people, have long complained of discrimination by the Muslim
majority state. Under both the old regime and the new Islamist leadership, violent clashes with Muslims have occasionally broken out, often sparked by church construction, land disputes or Muslim-Christian love affairs.
EUROPE
The new pope will face tremendous challenges in navigating Egypt's changing political realities, where Islamists are now dominant and the liberal and secular groups behind last year's uprising are struggling. At the center of the political squabbling is the role of Islam in the new constitution, currently being drafted.

EUROPE
Russians protest Putin regime
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — Thousands of nationalists marched through Moscow on Sunday chanting slogans such as "Russia for the Russians" to protest President Vladimir Putin's government, which they accuse of lavishing privileges on migrants and minorities while ignoring ethnic Russians.
The anti-Kremiln tone of the nationalists, who once backed Putin, comes as the movement's leaders try to broaden their base in the wake of last winter's historic opposition protests against the Russian leader. Some nationalists are even denouncing violence and racism, moves many mainstream opposition activists view with suspicion.
Sunday's march took place on Unity Day, a national holiday established in 2005 to replace commemorations of the Bolshevik Revolution. It has become associated with the nationalist "Russian March," which has taken a stridently anti-Kremlin tone. More than 40 Russian Marches were held throughout the country during the day.
Putin is "scared of us. He feels his time is coming to an end, because the future belongs to us," Alexander Belov, leader of the nationalist group Russkie, told the marchers in Moscow.
The Levada Center, an independent Russian survey agency, says its studies indicate that nearly half of
Russians resent government subsidies to the restive, mostly Muslim Caucasus republics and dislike migrants from both the Caucasus and the former Soviet Central Asian states.
Such sentiments often overlap with the opposition movement that dramatically rose up last December after parliamentary elections tainted by fraud claims. Prominent opposition figure Alexei Navalny has called on the Kremlin to "stop feeding the Caucasus," particularly Chechnya, and was one of the Russian March's organizers until this year.
Although they make up a small part of the broad anti-Putin protest movement, nationalists are among its most visible members.

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
Lucas sells to Disney
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
The news hit the Internet with all the force of a proton torpedo exploding in the Death Star's thermal exhaust port.
Not only was George Lucas officially retiring from filmmaking, he was also selling his Lucasfilm media empire to Disney, giving Emperor Mickey clearance to green-light at least three new "Star Wars" films based on Lucas's long-rumored, oft-denied outlines for a sequel trilogy taking place after the events of "Return of the Jedi." In fact, Disney executives are already eyeing a 2015 release date for what's now being billed as "Episode VIL."
Public reaction has been sharply divided since the $4.05 billion deal, which encompasses control of Industrial Light & Magic, Skywalker Sound and all future theme park options, was announced last Tuesday.
One side sees the news as wholly positive, a chance for the franchise to redeem itself after the prequel trilogy failed to meet the messianic expectations of older fans, many of whom still sudder at the mention of Jake Lloyd or. Yoda forbid, Jar Jar Binks.
Others fear the deal will cost "Star Wars" its identity as a transcultural touchstone, making the beloved and enormously influential series just another rebranded cog in Disney's ruthless corporate machinery.
Personally, I see the deal as a welcome changing of the guard. As franchise caretaker, Lucas has been keeping "Star Wars" in metaphorical carbonite for far too long. Over the last 15 years, he and his fans have engaged in a tumultuous love-hate relationship that eerily mirrors the redemptive arc of Darth Vader, the former knight turned intergalactic scourge who ultimately finds salvation when confronted by a new generation.
After the prequels, Lucas went from a celebrated vanguard of independent cinema and the architect of
childhood dreams to the dark lord of green screen, a controlling techno freak who shunned collaborators, marginalized actors and compulsively tinkered with his classic trilogy, cranking out endless "Special Editions" while pointedly refusing to release the unaltered originals on a worthy format. Just ask the average fan how he or she feels about Greedo shooting first or Vader's cringeworthy outburst during the formerly wordless, note-perfect climax of "Return of the ledi."
Disney, on the other hand, has embraced a surprisingly hands-off approach when dealing with its newly absorbed partners. Marvel Studios, which Disney acquired in 2009, operates largely outside the Mouse House's sphere of influence, a business model that recently paid off in spades with the extraordinary box office success of "The Avengers."
Although Disney officially bought Pixar in 2006, great pains were taken to ensure the Emeryville, Calif.-based animation studio remained a separate entity, free from the compulsory sequels and creative meddling that had soured company relations during the Michael Eisner years. Hopefully, Lucasfilm president Kathen Kennedy will be granted similar autonomy now that she's managing the "Star Wars" brand for Disney.
All corporate blather aside, the prospect of a "Star Wars" trilogy emancipated from Lucas's misery
stewardship is rife with potential. In a statement released last week, Lucas himself expressed interest in passing the torch to younger filmmakers, relegating himself to the role of "creative consultant," a post far removed from the director's chair or screenwriter's table. This is ideal, because despite his weakness for dialogue and disdain for non-pixilated performers, George Lucas remains one of the industry's great idea men.
I just hope the new writers and directors can reconcile their respect for the franchise with a willingness to push it further in the storytelling department. Irvin Kershner's "The Empire Strikes Back" widely regarded as the saga's high-water mark, found a precise balance between spectacle and substance, creating a lived-in universe inhabited by believably flawed, humanly written characters. Someone like Brad Bird ("The Incredibles"), Neil Blomkamp ("District 9") or Rian Johnson ("Looper") would fit the bill nicely.
For the first time since 1999, the future of "Star Wars" looks bright and secure, with expectations large enough to fill the Great Pit of Carkoon. Even fans who aren't fully convinced should take comfort from the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi: "You've taken your first step into a larger world."

NEW YORK — For the victims of Superstorm Sandy, it was a sorely needed message delivered.
Difficulty Level ★
SUPERSTORM
From "Livin' on a Prayer" to "The Living Proof," every song Friday at NBC's benefit concert became a message song.
NBC concert benefits Hurricane Sandy victims
11/05
The hourlong event, hosted by Matt Lauer, was heavy on stars and lyrics identified with New Jersey and the New York metropolitan area, which took the brunt of this week's deadly storm. The telethon was a mix of music, storm footage and calls for donations from Jon Stewart, Tina Fev, Whooo! Goldberg and others.
The show ended, as it only could, with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, tearing into "Land Of Hope and Dreams."
"God bless New York," Springsteen, New Jersey's ageless native son, said in conclusion. "God bless the Jersey shore."

Hurricane Sandy doesn't wreck 'Wreck-It Ralph' at box office
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The weekend box office was not only undeterred by the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, it was buoyed by it.
Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" opened strongly with $49.1 million and Robert Zemeckis' "Flight," starring Denzel Washington, soared to a $25 million debut. Both opened above expectations, capitalizing on East Coast audiences looking for distraction amid the recoverv from the storm.
"Wreck-It Ralph," a 3-D animated family film about a video game villain who tries to break free of his role, is the largest box-office opening ever for Walt Disney Animation, which has produced countless cartoon classics (though doesn't include Disney's lucrative Pixar Animation).
Though the hurricane had forced the closure of hundreds of movie theaters in the New York, New Jersey area, most were open for business by the weekend. As many as 100 theaters were still closed on Friday, but many of those were restored during the weekend.
"We didn't really have a playbook for this," said Hollywood.com box office analyst Dergarabedian. "But the numbers show that audiences across the country, and particularly in the Northeast, wanted to go to the movies
With many East Coast children out of school on Friday, Disney saw an uptick of business for Friday matinees to the well-reviewed "Wreck-It Ralph."
and they did."
"Wreck-It Ralph' became something of a distraction and an opportunity for families to do something separate of the storm," said Dave Hollis, Disney's head of distribution. "Schools being shut down on Friday also played a role as parents were looking for things to entertain the kids and keep them out of the cold."
Paramount's "Flight," which had a smaller opening — 1,884 theaters, or about half the number of "Wreck-It Ralph" — might have been expected to be more harmed by Sandy, considering adult dramas generally depend heavily on the New York City market. But the film, which has found critical raves and Oscar buzz, proved particularly enticing to moviegoers, many of whom were surely pulled in by the star power of Washington, who plays an airline pilot of both heroic skill and debilitating alcoholism.
"When you look up his filmography — it doesn't matter whether it was yesterday or 20 years ago — Denzel opens movies," said Paramount distribution head Don Harris.
Harris said the studio counted only about 15 theaters lost to "Flight" due to power outages.
Aside from the draw of Washington, "Flight" is also the first live-action film in 12 years for Zemeckis. The director, whose films include the "Back to the Future" trilogy and "Cast Away," had spent the last decade on performance-capture animated films like "The Polar Express" and "A Christmas Carol." Harris called the return "spectacular" and said: "It's almost like: Where have you been?"
Ben Affleck's Iran hostage tale "Argo," in its fourth week of release, expanded to 2,774 theaters. The Warner Bros. film added $10.2 million, bringing its cumulative gross to $75.9 million — a healthy haul for a film expected to be in the thick of the Oscar hunt.
The Universal kung fu flick "The Man With the Iron Fists," directed by RZA of the hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan, opened with a debut of $8.2 million.
Overseas, the James Bond film "Skyfall" continued to dominate. It took in $156 million over the weekend bringing its international total to $287 million. The film opens in North America on Friday.
The strong box-office weekend — up 21 percent from the same weekend last year — bodes well for Hollywood ahead of the arrival of "Skyfall" and the upcoming holiday movie season.
MILITARY
'Lt. Dan' supports troops with music
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO_ Under a gray sky, not far from San Diego's Balboa Park, actor Gary Sinise is getting ready to strap on his bass guitar and play before a crowd of more than 2,000 people.
It's the last day of a recent weeklong celebration for the fifth anniversary of the Comprehensive Combat and Complex Casualty Care (C-5) program at the Naval Medical Center San Diego for the war wounded. Members of the Cirque du Soleil Street Team are performing. There are balloons, face painting and rock climbing for kids, plus barbecue from Food Network star Robert Irvine.
Before he takes the stage, Sinise, better known as Det. Mac Taylor on CBS' long-running "CSI: NY," but best known in this crowd as Lt. Dan from his 1994 role in "Forrest Gump," bats away a recent suggestion by Newt Gingrich that he would make a good secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs if Mitt Romney were elected president.
"Government, that's not my thing." Sinise tells a reporter. "I get more done doing what I'm doing."
What he's been doing is playing 40 to 50 concerts a year as leader of the Lt. Dan Band at military bases and other sites in the U.S. and abroad, sometimes as part of a USO tour, sometimes teamed with the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation to raise funds to build "smart homes" for the most severely wounded, and sometimes as part of his own Gary Sinise Foundation's efforts to raise public awareness about the accomplishments and needs of American military personnel and their families.
He's also the spokesman for the Disabled American Veterans organization, has done recruiting commercials for the Army and Army Reserve as well as a public service announcement for
the marine Corps, and is a leader in the drive to build a monument in Washington, D.C., to America's war wounded. The monument is set to be dedicated next year.
"I want it so our congresspeople can look out the window and be reminded of the cost of war," Sinise says.
"Gary is the Bob Hope for this generation of combat warriors," says Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., a retired Army lieutenant colonel.
For his efforts, Sinise has been awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal by President George W. Bush and been declared an honorary Navy chief petty officer and a USO Goodwill Ambassador for his native state of Illinois.
"I play bass guitar," Sinise says with a laugh that betrays his discomfort with praise when West's comment is mentioned. "I didn't know that Bob Hope played bass, did he?"
That experience led to his continuing involvement with the Disabled American Veterans organization.
Sinise's concern for veterans predates "Forrest Gump" by more than a decade, back to his days with the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, which he founded with two friends. He was so moved by a play about the plight of Vietnam veterans and their anger at being discarded by an uncaring public that he looked for ways to become involved.
Still, it was Lt. Dan that propelled Sinise into greater activism. He jumped at the role, in part because "Forrest Gump" provided a positive portrayal of Vietnam veterans; Lt. Dan lost both legs in combat and journeys from despair and anger to optimism and hope.
"A lot of people say they care about the troops," says Poadillach. "But with Gary, you know he means it. He backs it up with action."

HURRICANE SANDY
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Region surveys storm damage

NEW YORK — Shivering victims of Superstorm Sandy went to church Sunday to pray for deliverance as cold weather settling in across the New York metropolitan region — and another powerful storm forecast for the middle of the week — added to their misfortunes and deepened the gloom.
With overnight temperatures sinking into the 30s and hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses still without electricity six days after Sandy howled through, people slept in layers of clothes, and New York City officials handed out blankets and urged victims to go to overnight shelterers or daytime warming centers.
At the same time, government leaders began to grapple with a daunting longer-term problem: where to find housing for the tens of thousands of people whose homes could be uninhabitable for weeks or months because of a combination of storm damage and cold weather.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said 30,000 to 40,000 New Yorkers may need to be relocated — a monumental task in a city where housing is scarce and expensive — though he said that number will probably drop to 20,000 within a couple of weeks as power is restored in more places.
In a heavily flooded Staten Island neighborhood, Sara Zavala spent the night under two blankets and layers of clothing because the power was out. She had a propane heater but turned it on for only a couple of hours in the morning. She did not want to sleep with it running at night.
"When I woke up, I was like, 'It's freezing.' And I thought, "This can't go on too much longer," said Zavala, a nursing home admissions coordinator.
Nearly a week after Sandy slammed into the New Jersey coastline in an assault that killed more than 100 people in 10 states, gasoline shortages persisted across the region, though odd-even rationing got under way in northern New Jersey in an echo of the gas crisis of the 1970s. Nearly 1 million homes and businesses were still without power in New Jersey, and about 650,000 in New York City, its northern suburbs and Long Island.
With more subways running and most city schools reopening on Monday, large swaths of the city were getting back to something resembling normal. But the week could bring new challenges, namely an Election Day without power in hundreds of polling places, and a noreaster expected to hit by Wednesday, with the potential for
55 mph gusts and more beach erosion, flooding and rain.
"Prepare for more outages," said National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Pollina. "Stay indoors. Stock up again."
"Well, the first storm flooded me out, and my landlord tells me there's a big crack in the ceiling, so I guess there's a chance this storm could do more damage," John Lewis said at a shelter in New Rochelle, N.Y. "I was hoping to get back in there sooner rather than later, but it doesn't look good."
Churchgoers packed the pews Sunday in parkas, scarves and boots and looked for solace in faith.
At the chilly Church of St. Rose in Belmar, N.J., its streets still slippery with foul-smelling mould, Roman Catholic Bishop David O'Connell said he had no good answer for why God would allow such destruction. But he assured parishioners: "There's more good, and there's more joy, and there's more happiness in life than there is the opposite. And it will be back."
In the heart of the Staten Island disaster zone, the Rev. Steve Martino of Movement Church headed a volunteer effort that had scores of people delivering supplies in grocery carts and cleaning out ruined homes. Around midday, the work stopped, and volunteer and victim
In the crowd was Stacie Piacentino. After a singularly difficult week, she said, "it's good to feel God again."
alike bowed their heads in prayer.
After the abrupt cancellation of Sunday's New York City Marathon, some of those who had been planning to run the 26.2-mile race through the city streets instead volunteered their time, handing out toothbrushes, batteries, swearshirts and other supplies on Staten Island.
Thousands of other athletes from around the world ran anyway inside Central Park, where a little more than four laps around it amounted to a marathon. "A lot of people just want to finish what they've started," said Lance Swendsen, organizer of a called Run Anyway.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said New York state is facing "a massive, massive housing problem" for those whose neighborhoods or buildings are in such bad shape that they won't have power for weeks or months.
"I don't know that anybody has ever taken this number of people and found housing for them overnight," Bloomberg said. "We don't have a lot of empty housing in this city," he added. "We're not going to let anybody go sleeping in the streets. ... But it's a challenge, and we're working on it."

Obama deserves votes of young people
Tomorrow's election day. And if you're still undecided on who you should select to be your presidential pick, let me give you a breakdown of why I believe Barack Obama deserves, not just the majority of Americans', but college students' votes in particular:
THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT, AKA, DRAMACARE
This has been President Obama's largest initiative during his presidency, and it works to completely revamp our former inefficient and limited health care system. A few of the major changes are individuals can stay on their parents' health insurance until the age of 26, you cannot be denied insurance coverage because of a pre-existing condition and sex-discriminatory policies are no longer legal.

FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID,
OR HOW A LOT OF US CAN
AFDOR TO GO TO KU
Obama has done a lot to allow students to be able to afford an education. President Obama made it so federal loans are distributed by direct lending only - meaning
fees paid to private banks that act as a middle man are cut out. These savings in fees have also made possible, after the 2012-2013 academic year, for Pell Grants to increase along with the inflation rate, rather than staying at a fixed rate — meaning more aid that doesn't need to be paid back possible. Finally, after the summer of 2014, students will be able to cap their repayment of loans at 10 percent of their income above basic living requirements, rather than the previous 15 percent, so after graduation, you're not going broke trying to repay loans.
WANT A JOB POST GRAD?
President Obama inherited a recession from economic policies during the Bush administration. It's definitely been a rough past couple of years for a lot of U.S. citizens, especially in terms of trying to keep a job, much less trying to get hired
straight out of college But without the efforts the president has made, it would have been a hell of a lot worse.
Obama created more private sector jobs in 2010 than the Bush administration did in eight years
that's pretty significant, right? Then in a simple comparison of rhetoric - Romney's economic rhetoric has focused on cutting spending - cutting funding for Amtrak, the Public Broadcasting Service, the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, a freeze on federal hiring and an end of the Affordable Health Care Act, which cuts spending and cuts jobs.
Obama has said he will create jobs by creating a public works job program, provide aid to hire more and pay teachers better, explore natural gas exploration and expand medical professional jobs through the Affordable Health Care Act, which will lead to millions of new jobs.

Unconventional tips to save money
Saving money is difficult. Extremely difficult. It's just so simple to mindlessly swipe your debit card to get yet another Jimmy John's sandwich. Sure, everyone's heard the typical ways to save money by clipping coupons and making a budget. But by these unconventional ways, you can save money without having to be boring.
"ACCIDENTALLY" FORGET YOUR WALLET
Your friends invite you to go to Jefferson's, but you don't because you can't afford it. It happens to the best of us. This time, accept the invitation. When the bill comes around, have a really disappointed expression and say, "Man, I forgot my wallet. Can anyone spot me this time?" It works like a charm. Except when they ask for you to pay them back or they catch on to your plan. The only downside to this is you'll probably look like a mooch and may lose a few friends.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SAUCE PACKETS
grab it. Some places like McDonald's have gotten smart and charge 25 cents per sweet and sour sauce packet. Know which places are free, and take advantage of it.
Instead of buying a bag of pretzels, why not take advantage of the samples at Wal-Mart or other grocery stores? The only tricky part is finding ways to get multiple samples to get an actual snack portion. Find ways to distract them. Even just tell the attendant that you're a broke college student. If it's a sweet, elderly lady, she may feel sympathy for you and give you more than one. Sometimes, you'll get lucky with stores like Target having samples just sitting out by the deli section. Grab all you want.
GRAB YOUR SNACKS AT A GROCERY STORE
GOOGLE
"FREE SAMPLES"
If you just simply search online for free samples, you can come up with free hair care products, soap, toothpaste and more. If you do that often enough,
you may very rarely have to buy actual products. Ship to your parent's address also and have them keep the second helping of samples until you go home next. Not only does it save a lot of money but
it saves you from getting your lazy self out of bed to go to the store.
The only bad thing with this is you'll probably become less social and more into Netflix. Once I got the free month trial of Netflix, I stayed cooped up in my room during summer break just watching "Breaking Bad." You could even use your parent's email address for another free trial. Once you run out of email addresses, there's usually a friend who doesn't mind you watching their Netflix every once in a while.

Romney would address the major issues

for Mitt Romney tomorrow? Take a quick look at the facts. Then ask yourself the essential question: Is the country better or worse today than four years ago?
By Billy McCroy
bmccroy@kansan.com
The true indicator of real employment, the labor participation rate, is at its lowest point in 30 years. There are 10 million people that have been forced to go on food stamps in the past four years. Al-Qaida has still not been defeated, but its influence is growing across the Middle East. Not only have we not made a dent in our national debt, we've tripled it. All we have to show for the past four years is a health care bill that will actually exacerbate the problem it was designed to solve – don't worry though, Obama plans to raise taxes on the rich and entrepreneurs to pay for it. Are we better off? The answer is a very deafening, "No!"
Romney's presidency would address the biggest
issue right now, how to get our economy out from underneath the bloated, inefficient government and get people back to work by growing the private sector. He knows what it takes to grow business; out of the two presidential candidates, he's the only one who has ever had a job. Sorry, community activists.
This country has definite problems; we have millions out of work, defense issues abroad and a sputtering economy at home. Romney's best quality is personified in his trademark smirk. He is an optimist - even, perhaps a little sly and cocky. But that's what the country needs right now. We need someone who openly loves America - and who is a bit cocky about it - and will
do whatever he can to make it stronger.
Of the two men who will likely become President, one of them is the challenger, the other has just campaigned like he is. President Obama has put together a tired
campaign relying on tired promises and retreaded ideas.
President Obama is the presidential version of Turner Gill; he had little experience prior to running for the position and far too many people simply got caught up in the novelty of the moment. Now, I'm not saying Romney is Charlie Weis - I wouldn't want to insult Romney - but it's time that we gave Obama his pink slip. That's why I'm exercising my privilege to vote by casting my ballot for Romney/Ryan tomorrow.

ENTERTAINMENT
Changes to first sale laws would limit rights,access
The legal idea that you own something completely after you buy it is known as "first sale" and the person who sold it to you can't tell you what you can do with it, even if they copyrighted part of it. Well, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case last week that might reshape the whole concept of first sale in America. While the case Kirstaeng v. John Wiley & Sons is about textbooks, the groups who hope to gain most from this case and the termination of first sale are the music and movie industry.
By Andrew Simpson
asimpson@kansan.com
The music and movie industry really wants to be able to extend its copyright protection. So much that these groups spent $122 million lobbying Congress for increased copyright legislation, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. And of course, the industry portrays themselves as "protecting the artists." But really, we know its for the money. If first sale is altered in their direction, it would open up a "secondary" market to many industries, a new market covering products that you thought you purchased and own.
Already, most of the music and movies you think you bought from places like iTunes, you only technically licensed from the rights holder.
holders can tell you things like who you're allowed to share your music with, or if you can share your music. If first sale is terminated, these companies could limit your rights to things you actually purchased, like physical items. Say you wanted to sell or give away a DVD you bought three years ago, these companies could tell you the price you had to sell it for, and sue if you if you gave it away.
This means the rights
Obviously, for anyone who buys or rents music and movies, this doesn't sound too pleasing. And for good reason: If you bought something, you should own it and be able to do whatever you want.
The music and movies industries attempt to limit the rights to our purchases is the same fight these companies had when the radio was invented, and when people copied and traded vinyl records. So what have people been doing when the industry has started to crack down? Just pirating even more than ever.
Look at "Game of Thrones." HBO limits online viewing to people who own both a cable and
HBO subscription, which many people can't afford. And what happened? With such limited legal access, "Game of Thrones" Season 2 was the most pirated TV show of all time, with 25 million copies torrented, according to Forbes.com.
The industry spends too much time limiting the consumers rights, and trying to punish piraters. Instead, why don't they attempt to increase consumer access, and decrease piracy as result. If iTunes offered me full ownership of the music they "sell," I'd probably still buy music from iTunes, and not rent music from Spotify for much less. If HBO would be willing to let people watch "Game of Thrones" online for $3 an episode, maybe 25 million people wouldn't need to steal it.
So seriously entertainment industry, limiting not only the number of people who can buy your products, but also the rights they have to your products, is not going to make you more money. It's going to make a lot of upset people who will be willing to pirate your products because they don't like you. So how about you be decent people, and increase access to your products instead?

Withey looks to live up to his All-American status in the team's last exhibition game

In fact, Withey's performance was rather forgettable for a center playing with a significant size advantage.
However, he will get a second chance when the Jayhawks take on Washburn in their final exhibition game of the season tonight at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
"Jeff doesn't play as well against small guys; he never has, historically," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "He's always played better against big guys."
More time in the game will also mean more opportunities for Withey to show off his jump-hook that he's been working on with assistant coach Norm Roberts. He wants the shot to be a focal point of his offensive game this year.
Washburn will trot out a bigger lineup in 6-foot-8 Bobby Chapman and 6-foot-9 Joseph Smith. With that pair, the Ichabds will likely try to work the ball down low more often than Emporia State, which only scored 14 points in the paint and attempted 26 3-pointers.
But it was a shot that looked off against Emporia State.
"This week of practice has been tough, and coach has been on us," Withey said. "We're definitely going to have a lot more energy and be ready to play for this game a lot more than last week."
More action in the paint means
more opportunities for Withey, the 2011-12 Big 12 leader in blocks, to send an opponent's shot attempt spiraling back down to the floor.
The game against Washburn is actually Kansas' sixth exhibition game of the season, as they played four games in Europe over the summer.
Eliiah Johnson said. "You got to ask yourself, what would be the negative? And there's definitely no negative about it."
"I don't have the proof yet, but I feel like in my gut it definitely helped us," senior guard
But the defense is still in the same place as it would be, as the coaches put most of the emphasis on the offense.
Despite playing at the Division II level, Washburn still enters the Fieldhouse with confidence after playing tough against Kansas State and Oklahoma earlier in the preseason.
Self feels that the increased practices allowed during the summer, as well as the games, have helped his team get farther offensively than they have in the past.
Senior center Jeff Withey tries to move around his opponent to get to the goal during Tuesday's game against Emporia State University in Allen Fieldhouse, where the Hawks won 88-54. The Hawkins will play Washburn tonight.
Like the Jayhawks, the Ichabods begin the season with Lofty expectations, ranked fourth in the NABC top 25 coaches poll for the Division II level after making it to the second round of the Division II tournament last season.
"I see it as a big game for both of us," Johnson said. "With them coming in with such high standards for their year, and for us as well, I think it's a good test for both schools. I feel like we'll both go out and play hard."

BLAKE SCHUSTER

ASSOCIATED PRESS
WACO, TEXAS — It would be one thing if Kansas lost a well-fought game, or if the Jayhawks had simply been overpowered. It's quite another to lose the game in preparation, but that's what happened in the Jayhawks' 41-14 loss to the Baylor Bears on Saturday.
In the week leading up the game, some Kansas players decided to take it easy in practice.
"There were some things that we showed in practice this week that we weren't necessarily executing to our full ability," said senior left tackle Tanner Hawkinson. "It showed up during the game. It just shows you have to go out and take each practice 100 percent."
Hawkinson said Kansas wasn't getting off of its combo blocks up front, and blockers were missing assignments all during the practice week. It certainly didn't help Kansas when the trend carried over to Saturday.
That's particularly important as Baylor won by playing the game everyone assumed it would, even the lavhawks.
"Everything they did is exactly what we expected," Senior defensive lineman Josh Williams said. "An offense like that you've got to do everything you can to hold them to a minimum."
Kansas allowed the Bears to create time and space for their star wide receiver Terrance Williams to make catches. The Jayhawks gave up 137-yards and a touchdown on 11 receptions to the Big 12's leading receiver.
"He has good speed, and they have a great scheme around him," Senior cornerback Greg Brown said, who was tasked with covering Williams. "They know what kind of coverage they have and bring it to his advantage."
The one time Brown had Williams beat, he intercepted the ball near the goal line. But the play was called back on an offsides penalty.
that was called on Kansas.
The next play, Baylor went right back to Williams on the same route. This time he had no trouble beating a fatigued Brown to the back of the end zone to put the Bears up 7-0.
The Baylor passing game backed up the Kansas defense enough to open up the run game, where the Bears gained over 300 rushy- yards. It marked the first game this season Baylor exceeded 300 yards rushing.
Brown said that whenever Kansas outnumbered Baylor in the box, the Bears picked it up and were able to convert.
"Some of the things we had designed to go early in the game were extending our offensive players to their limits." Weis said. "We had to pull it back in. What we wanted to try to do is be wide open in the game to put us in a position to score more points."
When the pass wasn't available and the run wasn't an option, it was up to Senior quarterback Nick Florence to get moving. Florence scrambled 10 times, picking up 32 rushing yards.
But it was the big plays Kansas' defense gave up that disturbed Kansas coach Charlie Weis the most. Four Baylor receivers had catches for 32 yards or longer.
Even with Baylor dominating most of the game, Kansas was only down 20-14 at halftime and was starting to find its groove on offense.
Kansas was stopped on fourth down, and on the ensuing drive, Baylor went 55 yards to the end zone to go up 27-14. The Jayhawks had the perfect play to get back in the game, but quarterback Michael Cumming's pass bounced off the hands of an outstretched Chris Omigie, and into the body of a falling Joe Williams. Weis did say it was Cumming's best pass of
The Jayhawks were in the game until the Bears delivered the knockout blow in the third quarter.
the game, but Williams cradled the interception at the five-yard line for Baylor, killing the Jayhawks momentum.
"It almost was like after that play to Omigie, you could feel the wind go out of the sails," Weis said.
The boat stopped moving with 26 minutes to play.
The plan was straightforward for this game: Baylor would try to score a bevy of points, and Kansas would try to match it. A lull
in practice after a heartbreaking loss to Texas did not help the Jayhawks exceed their season average of 17-points a game.
"Going into this game, we thought we were going to have to score more," Weis said. "If you think you're going to play a game with them and win it 21-17, the only two times this year they've scored 21 points is when they've turned it over a whole bunch."

Goodrich leads Jayhawks to win
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
IMAX GOODWIN
mggoodwin@kansan.com
The most difficult task for the Fort Hays State Tigers in Sunday's 88-43 exhibition loss against Kansas was just getting the ball past half court, where senior guard Angel Goodrich waited for her next steal.
Goodrich forced three steals in the first half and one more in the second half before leaving the game after playing 25 minutes.
"She is very disciplined," head coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "Angel's quick and she's athletic, but if you don't have discipline to back that up, you're going to be a teacher and a gambler, run yourself out of a play and foul, and Angel doesn't do that."
What Goodrich does do is disrupt the other team's offense and force turnovers. It didn't take long for Goodrich to stop what Fort Hays State wanted to do with their offense.
"The first four or five times down the floor, we couldn't get into anything." Tigers coach Tony Hobson said. "We couldn't run what we wanted to run, so she totally messed it up."
When Fort Hays State did manage to get the ball over half court, getting it in the paint also became a struggle. While limiting the Tigers to eight points in the paint in the first half, the Jayhawks went into the locker room with a 49 to 22 lead, with 20 points off of turnovers.
Senior forward Carolyn Davis continued her recovery from a torn ACL as she played just 12 minutes. The lack of playing time was only because the score of the game Henrickson said, though Davis did miss practice on Wednesday as a precaution against playing too much or a
knee that is still healing.
The Jayhawks improved in the rebounding category from last week's game in which they were out-rebounded by the Washburn Ichabods. Rebounding has been a point of emphasis for the Jayhawks in practice as the team prepares for the regular season, starting Nov. 11 against Idaho State.
At the end of the day, Kansas put together a strong performance in every category, but the 45-point victory came against a Fort Hays State team that was forced to play without their senior point guard Kaiameka Brown.
Brown changed out of her uniform after testing an injury during warm-ups. In her place, Fort Hays State was forced to give playing time to several freshmen guards who struggled with the overwhelming defense of Goodrich.
Regardless of the level of competition, Goodrich had an impressive game, scoring 19 points on just 12 shots with 6 assists. Goodrich played well enough to give freshman point guard Lamaria Cole significant playing time, in which she played well, scoring nine points with an assist and a rebound. Cole is the only true-point guard on the Jayhawks roster to back-up Goodrich.
"I felt like she played well," Goodrich said of Cole. "She pushed the ball, she was aggressive and we need that from her."
Goodrich showed in the exhibition that she is one of the best point guards in the NCAA, but Goodrich said after the game that she is ready to start playing in games that count.

Alabama, Kansas State football teams worthy of top rankings
END
COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP PICTURE CLEARER AFTER BIG WEEK-
Alabama, Kansas State, Notre Dame and Oregon all won Saturday to remain undefended and retain their positions as the four top-ranked teams in college football. While each team won, two teams separated themselves from the others with their performances over the weekend.
P
Alabama went into Death Valley to take on the fifth-ranked Louisiana State Tigers and won in dramatic, come-from-behind fashion 21-17. Not only was this a big win within the SEC for the Crimson Tide, but it was a statement victory for a team vying to return to the national championship game for a second-straight season.
Though Alabama looked sloppy at times and allowed LSU to dominate the time of possession, the top-ranked team showed that it can win in hostile situations even when things go wrong.
The other team that set itself apart from the pack were our neighbors from Manhattan. Kansas State looked sharp in all facets of the game. The offense was able to move the ball effectively and controlled possession.
By Jacob Clemen
jclemen@kansan.com
The defense gave up 30 points, but also forced five key turnovers and limited explosive plays. Even special teams got involved with a 100-yard kick return touchdown in the 44-30 victory over Oklahoma State.
Heisman contender Collin Klein, however, left the game because of a head injury and it is uncertain how serious the injury will be. The Wildcats need Klein if they hope to remain undefeated and reach the BCS championship game.
While Oregon beat a top-25 team in the USC Trojans, it was a lot of the same from the Ducks. The offense had its way all day long, but the defense was exposed against a good Trojan passing game.
Oregon showed it has the best offense
in the nation, but Alabama and Kansas State's balance is what makes them the top-ranked teams in the country.
TOO SOON TO PANIC FOR LAKERS
The Los Angeles Lakers entered the 2012-2013 NBA season as the talk of the league. With new acquisitions Dwight Howard and Steve Nash ready to complement Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, there was speculation that the Lakers would be in the NBA Finals at seasons end.
As of Sunday, the Lakers record stands at 0-3 with losses to the Dallas Mavericks, who are playing without their star Dirk Nowitzki, the Portland Trailblazers and hometown rival Los Angeles Clippers.
On top of the losses, the smallest margin of victory for a Lakers opponent was eight points, which must be discouraging to hopeful Lakers fans.
With Steve Nash out for at least a week, talk has already started about whether the Lakers will be as good as predicted. That talk, however, is overreaction.
The Lakers bring in a collective 33 allstar appearances in their starting lineup and years of experience playing at an extremely high level. While Phil Jackson is
KU
no longer around to
direct them, Bryant and Nash are on-court leaders that will be sure to bring the team together. Bryant is too competitive to let failure continue for any extended period of time.
Los Angeles may continue to struggle out of the gate, but expect them to go on a run in the middle and late part of the season and finish near the top of the Western Conference.

Errors doom Jayhawk volleyball
BRANDON SMITH/ KANSAN
Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree and junior setter Erin McNorton attempt to block a spike during last Monday's game against West Virginia. The Jayhawks lost 3-1 to the Baylor Bears on Saturday.
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
The Kansas volleyball team knew Baylor would run an unorthodox
offense, but the Jayhawks couldn't adjust quickly enough in its 3-1 loss to the Bears on Saturday. Baylor emphasized its middle blockers and attacked away from the net to cinch the victory.
"They really forced their middles when they're out of system, which is some
thing we're not really used to," said junior setter Erin McNorton. "I think it came down to errors."

While Baylor fed the ball to its middle blockers when they got

Unlike most big offenses, the Bears' middle blockers and out-

side hitters don't always crowd the net, instead electing to attack closer to the attack line. This let the Bears hit the ball at different angles from the Jayhawk defense is used to.
"I think they did a good job of getting us out of system, so that I
could have made better choices",
McNorton said. "Making better
choices or a better pass, a better
spot to hit it at. Just everything
needed to click better, and it didn't
happen."
The Bears scored the first four points, and the Jayhawks couldn't match their performance. Baylor's lead stretched to 10-2, then 15-5 and then 22-6. Kansas committed eight attack

errors in the first set and recorded only six kills, helping Baylor win the set 25-10.
"We weren't as disciplined and focused as we usually are and have been,and that showed."
"We definitely weren't passing the ball, so we weren't able to run our typical offense," said junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc. "We didn't seem prepared. They came at us quick and aggressive,
and by the time we reacted, it was already at the end of the set."
The second set more closely
CAROLINE JARMOC Middle Blocker
more closely resembled a typical Kansas-Baylor match, as it was the eighth time in nine years the two schools split the season series. The teams traded
the lead back and forth, with neither leading by more than four points. But Kansas couldn't hold a 23-20 lead, falling in an extended set 27-25.
Baylor nearly swept the Jayhawks, holding a 24-23 lead in the third set. But Kansas responded by scoring the next three points,
giving them the set and some positive signs of life.
Coach Ray Bechard said Kansas didn't let the opening set affect its play the rest of the evening.
"We had a 21-18 lead in the second set, and regardless of the score of the first set, we could have been 1-1 at the break," Bechard said. "We fought hard in set three to make it 2-1, but then you need to get to set five."
For much of the fourth set, Kansas looked like it would force that fifth set, which would have boded well for the Jayhawks. They are 4-0 in five-set matches this season. A Baylor block gave them an 11-7 lead, but Kansas went on a 10-2 run to take a 17-13 lead, capped by an ace by junior libero Brianne Riley.
But Baylor settled down and tied the match at 18, squashing the Jayhawks' momentum. The teams traded the lead, but Kansas wouldn't score again after sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton knotted the match at 23. Baylor won the set 25-23, and the match 3-1. It is the Jayhawks first loss of the season to an opponent outside of the Top 40 in the RPI.
"We weren't as disciplined and focused as we usually are and have been, and that showed," Jarmoc said. "It was sloppy errors. We would get a run, and we would get ahead, and then there would be two or three errors, and they're back in it."

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks enter tonight's exhibition game trying to sort out what their rotation will look like this season. Last week, 11 players logged double-digit minutes. This game should be more of the same, as Kansas Coach Bill Self tries to offer playing experience to the large crop of freshmen while simultaneously building the chemistry between the younger and older players.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Can senior center Jeff Withey find his offensive flow?
Freshman guard Andrew White III
White has showed his scoring ability — notching 10 points in the first exhibition game — but has also struggled. He is leading the team with five turnovers, a third of the Jayhawks' total turnovers if he continues to turn the ball over, expect Self to place White on a very short leash.
QUESTION MARK
Withey can no longer rely on Thomas Robinson to open him up for easy baskets, so he will now be counted on to use his height and arm length to knock down his shots in the post early, which in turn will open up the rest of the offense.
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
"They look like freshmen. They look like freshmen that can run and jump though, but they look like freshmen. They don't know what they're doing."
— Kansas Coach Bill Self on the play of Jamari Traylor and Ben McLemore against Emporia State
KANSAS 0-0,(0-O BIG 12) STARTERS
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF..
Releford
The Jayhawks find their rhythm early and use their defense to create turnovers, which would lead to fast break opportunities and easy points.
PATRICK MAYER
Travis Releford, Senior Guard
Releford had an unspectacular day against Emporia State, with seven points and two rebounds in 22 minutes of play. However, Releford's most important contribution — his tenacious approach to defense — kept reflections in the box score.
★★★★
M.
McLemore
Ben McLemore, Freshman Guard
McLemore showed off his athletic ability on a monster put-back slam in the first exhibition game against Emporia State. He claims to have felt no nerves entering the first game, but Self thinks he did. Either way, it wasn't a problem; he found his groove, scoring four for seven baskets for a total of 11 points.
★★★☆☆
A. M. SMITH
Elijah Johnson, Senior Guard
Johnson
Johnson's effect was instantly felt when he entered the game. He jump-started an offense that looked sluggish while he sat out for being significantly late to one of his classes. The Jayhawks won't be able to afford him arriving late to class when the tougher opponents of the regular season roll around.
★★★☆
Jamari Traylor, Freshman Forward
JOHN E. BANKER
Traylor
Traylor is one of the players auditioning for the starting role in the front court, opposite Jeff Withey. He jacks the offensive punch of freshman forward Perry Ellis, but can make his mark with aggressive play on the defensive end of the floor.
★★★☆☆
Jeff Withey, Senior Center
Withey
Withey didn't effect the Jayhawks last game as much he was expected to. He missed badly on a few low post moves before finally finding the net and scoring seven points in 18 minutes of play. His role could be expanded against a Washburn team that played two other Big 12 schools — Kansas State and Oklahoma — within 20 points.

Prediction:
AT A GLANCE
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Washburn enters the 2012 season as the coaches pick to win the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association and is ranked fourth in the NABC preseason coaches poll. Coach Bob Chipman enters his 34th season at Washburn after a 25-8 2011 campaign that ended in the second round of the NCAA Division II tournament. The Ichabods shot 46 percent from the field last year, and averaged 72.5 points per game. Washburn was tough on defense forcing 518 turnovers while turning it over 386 times themselves. In last week's 83-66 loss against the Oklahoma Sooners, senior guard Will McNeill led the way with 19 points. The Ichabods shot 41 percent from the field, but turned the ball over 23 times.
Senior guard Will McNeill
An NABC All-American last season. McNeill returns for his senior campaign attempting to build on a second round tournament run last season. McNeill missed the entire 2010-11 season with a broken bone in his foot before returning for his All-American campaign. McNeill is a slasher. Against Oklahoma, he went a perfect 12 of 12 from the free throw line, leading the Ichabods with 19 points.
QUESTION MARK
Kansas 90, Washburn 52
Washburn's starting forwards are undersized. Against Oklahoma, senior Bobby Chipper pulled down eight boards, but Zack Riggins only grabbed two rebounds. For Washburn to keep the game close, these two will have to be a defensive presence in the post against the young, athletic frontcourt of Kansas.
Can Washburn's forwards handle the athleticism of Kansas' frontcourt?
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
— Bob Chipman after Kansas State beat the Ichabods on the boards earlier in the exhibition season.
"They put a body on us on the boards. We looked a little weak. They had a little sting to their defense, and we were a little casual."
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF.
The young lajhawks commit careless turnovers, leading to easy Washburn buckets that enable the ichabbs to keep the game close into the second half.

NOTES
making him the first Jayhawk since 1974 with five straight hundred yard performances.
GLASS HALF EMPTY
Go ahead and jump on the James Sims bandwagon, there's plenty of room. It seems every week Sims starts slow but then breaks through for a major run. Against Baylor, it was a 58-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He finished the day with 136-ydrs
Baylor racked up 666 yards, had four receivers with catches of more than 32 yards, and gained more than 300 yards on the ground for the first time all year. This game will give Kansas defensive coordinator Dave Campo nightmares. The Jayhawks' defense plays great at home, now they have to learn how to keep it up on the road.
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
In the second quarter, Kansas came out to kick a field goal from about 30-yards on on 4th and 10. Kansas coach Charlie Weis said he told his players if an opportunity to run a fake
was there to take it. The opportunity wasn't there, but that didn't stop the Jayhawks from trying to run the ball in. They only got a yard.
Verdict: Just Plain Stupid
DELAY OF THE GAME
Kansas went into halftime after limiting a 17-play drive by Baylor to just a field goal, but a rain delay at halftime killed any momentum the Jayhawks gained.
James Sims. Need any reasons? See above.
GAME BALL
LOOKING AHEAD
If Baylor was trouble for Kansas, there's even more reason for concern heading into Lubbock, Texas next week. The Jayhawks will go from facing the best passing game in the nation to the fourth best passing game in the nation — not to mention the 18th best defense.
QUOTE OF THE GAME
"The one thing we're going to really have to research is rain delays. I prepare for a lot of stuff, but I really haven't done a lot of research on lightning delays. I'm 0-2."

Sims reaches rushing milestone

WACO, TEXAS — Even with the dreary weather and a 41-14 loss to the Baylor Bears, Kansas junior running back James Sims continues to be the bright spot on the offense.
For the first time since 1974, a Jayhawk running back has reached the 100-yard plateau in five consecutive games. The only other Jayhawk to do so was Laverne Smith, who hit that mark during his sophomore season with the Jayhawks.
He wouldn't have been able to do it without the five offensive linemen who block for him.
"I give all the credit to the offensive line," Sims said. "They did an amazing job up front and
won the line of scrimmage. I ran behind them, and they gave me the holes, and I just ran through them."
Sims ran through those holes for 136 yards on 21 carries and a touchdown. He eclipsed the 100-yard mark during the first half, as he rushed for 116 yards and his lone touchdown.
Coach Charlie Weis said Sims is the Jayhawk workhorse, and he's getting a lot of opportunities to run the ball because the offense has been ineffective.
During the five straight games that Sims has had 109 yards, his workload has been steady. He's carried the ball 162 times for 667 yards and three touchdowns.
Senior tackle Tanner Hawkinson is one of the key reasons why Sims has been able to
reach the 100-yard mark in five of the six games he has played.
Hawkinson said having a back like Sims makes his job — and the job of the rest of the line — a lot easier.
"You know you can just go out there and just stay on your blocks, and he'll be able to produce," Hawkinson said. "He's going to be able to make some big runs like he did tonight. He's obviously a great back and a great asset to us."
Hawkinson said that Sims is able to make something happen on a routine basis, which speaks to how good he truly is. Hawkinson also said that Sims keeps improving each game.
"It's just the way he comes out every game," Hawkinson said. "It just seems like he's running
harder from game to game. It's his work ethic that transpired from a great offseason that has definitely paid off for him."
The thing that really stands out about Sims is the fact that he has rushed for 622 yards this season in just six games. Last year, he rushed for 727 yards in 12 games, and he rushed 742 yards in 11 games during his freshman season.
The statistics speak well for Sims, and Weis recognizes what he has been able to do.
"He's as good as I've seen in this league," Weis said.

OU 6-2 (4-1) - ISU 5-4 (2-4)
Quaterback Landry Jones showed off his arm strength against Iowa State on Saturday to give Oklahoma a win after a tough loss at home last week to Notre Dame.
Jones threw for 405 yards and four touchdowns in the game, while running back Brennan Clay added to the Sooners offense, running for 157 yards and one touchdown. Clay's first 100-yard game of his career helped generate a dynamic Sooners offense on Saturday.
Oklahoma's offense picked up 34 first-downs and amassed 593 yards against the Cyclones.
Iowa State kicker Edwin Arceo made a career long 51-yard field goal to cut the deficit to one point in the first quarter, but Iowa State's offense failed to produce points and never played with the lead.

KSU 9-0 (6-0) - OKST 5-3 (3-2)
Kansas State's unbeaten streak continued this past week as it won against Oklahoma State and advanced to 9-0 on the season. The Wildcats had an effect on all three phases of the game, showing why they deserve a national championship appearance.
However, K-State quarterback Collin Klein left the game in the third quarter because of an undisclosed injury. Even so, Klein collected 309 total yards before leaving the game. Along with Klein's touchdown, running back John Hubert's two touchdowns gave the Wildcats a two-possession lead at halftime.
After Cowboy quarterback Wes Lunt suffered an injury and threw three interceptions, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy turned to Clint Chelf at quarterback. The Cowboys scored only two touchdowns on offense, but got help on special teams from rarely used running back Desmond Roland on an 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
But Kansas State's defense and special teams units found the end zone to help add points to the scoreboard. Wide Reciever Tyler Lockett returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. But the biggest star for the Wildcats was cornerback Allen Chapman, who intercepted three passes including one in the second quarter for a touchdown.
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder did not provide any details to the media regarding Klein's injury.

NO. 23 TEXAS 31 - NO. 18 TEXAS TECH 22

Ash completed 11 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns. Texas held a narrow two-point lead in the fourth quarter until Ash threw his third touchdown pass to Mike Davis to extend the lead to nine. It was Davis' second touchdown reception as he ended his day with 165 yards.
Texas prevailed in an in-state battle against Texas Tech after four grueling quarters. Texas quarterback David Ash bounced back this week and gave Texas the upper hand on the road.
Texas Tech's offense managed to move the ball well with Seth Doege under center. Doege passed for 329 yards and one touchdown. However, the Red Raiders were limited in their scoring and were forced to send their kicker Ryan Bustin out to make three field goals. The Longhorns defense shut out the Red Raiders in the fourth quarter to help seal the win.

The two Big 12 newcomers came into Week 9 looking to snap their two-game losing streaks. It was Texas Christian who snapped its losing streak with an incredible trick play to win in double overtime.
TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin threw two touchdown passes to Josh Boyce. Boyce lead all receivers in the game with 180 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the day.
West Virginia had a weapon of its own at receiver. Tavon Austin caught 11 passes for 101 yards, including a 43-yard catch and run in which Austin ran across the entire field before heading for the end zone. Geno Smith, despite throwing an interception early on, kept the Mountaineers in the game by throwing three touchdown passes.
But in double overtime, TCU looked for a trick play in the playbook and pulled out a reverse pass for a touchdown. Wide receiver Brandon Carter took a handoff and threw to tight end Corey Fuller in the end zone for a touchdown. Boykin threw the game-winning two-point conversion to Boyce to win the thriller in Morgantown.

Kansas sweeps TCU, North Dakota in weekend competition
CHRIS SCHAEDER
cschaeder@kansan.com
The Kansas Swimming and Diving team completed its sweep of the two-day double dual against Texas Christian University and North Dakota on Saturday at Robinson Natatorium.
Kansas defeated TCU, 204-142,
and North Dakota, 214-45,
on Saturday after a dominating performance on Friday put Kansas in prime position for victory.
On Friday, Kansas won of eight of the 10 events; the Jayhawks had first-place finishes in the 200-yard IM, the three-meter dive, the 100-yard backstroke, the 100-yard breaststroke, the 200-yard butterfly and the 200-yard freestyle. Kansas also won both relay events — the 200-yard freestyle and 400-yard medley.
Kansas carried its excellent performance into Saturday with victories in six of the nine events. The six first-place finishes were in the
200-yard backstroke, the one-meter dive, the 100-yard butterfly, the 200-yard breaststroke and the 400-yard IM. The Jayhawks also won first place in the 200-yard medley relay.
The top swimmers for Kansas at the meet were senior Brookie Brull, who recorded victories in the 200-yard IM and the 200-yard backstroke, freshman Bryce Hinde, who recorded victories in the 200-yard breaststroke and the 100-yard breaststroke, and freshman Chelsie
Miller, who won the 200-yard butterfly and the 400-IM.
TCU grabbed the remainder of the first-place finishes on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, senior Sabine Rasch finished first in the 50-yard freestyle and freshmen Sara Brzozowski finished first in the 1,000-yard freestyle. On Saturday, Rasch finished first in the 100-yard freestyle, and freshman Mikayla Winkler won first place in the 500-yard freestyle and the 400-yard freestyle.
Kansas coach Clark Campbell said he was proud of his team's performance at this weekend's meet.
"We swam much better than we did last night, which was encouraging," Campbell said in a KU Athletics press release. "We talked about it, and to their credit, they really rose to the challenge. We talked about excellence, and we were focused too much on the success component and success is a product of being excellent. We learned a lot coming from Friday into Saturday, and the team really rose to the occasion."
Kansas' swimmers and divers will compete separately in the team's next events. The swimmers will host the Kansas Classic in Topeka from Nov. 16 to 19, and the divers will compete at the Phil Hansel Invite in Houston, Texas from Nov. 15 to 17.

Anywhere you go on campus, you can find stories about their relationship with this program that defines this institution.
Best part of the year has arrived
Many see it as the apex of the year, when for two hours twice a week, we stop studying or worrying about classes and just enjoy basketball.
These two words all mean something different to every person associated with the University.
Kansas Basketball.
For me, it's always been a major part of what I look forward to each year.
Growing up in Lenea, a mere 30 miles, from Lawrence I was never far away from Allen Fieldhouse.
Much of my childhood, like many kids who grew up in Kansas, revolved around how the Jayhawks season would fare.
It became the routine on weekday nights or Saturday afternoons. Listen to the Jayhawks and see another impressive victory.
As I moved into becoming a journalist, my outlook changed on the Jayhawks. I don't get swept up in the pregame rituals or the mystique of the Fieldhouse while I'm typing away on my computer courtside.
So enjoy flipping through this section and getting acquainted with the Jayhawks that will be followed throughout the next few months.
It's still hard to ignore the history. There are trophies bursting out of the Booth Hall of Athletics, banners covering rafters and pictures plastered on the tunnels of the Fieldhouse.
This is Kansas basketball season folks. Let the crazy ride begin.
Although the basketball season has started, the basketball preview is set up to give information for our readers to use throughout the season.
The section has schedules, Big 12 previews and some posters of some of your favorite Jayhawks.
An important part of our section is to not only highlight the men's basketball season, but also the women's basketball prospects for the season.

RETURN OF THE JAYHAWKS
PHOG WARS
PAGE 3
Episode X
SELF STRIKES BACK
Ten years ago,
in a fieldhouse not so far away, a shockwave ripped through the mortar that holds the foundation of Kansas basketball together as longtime leader Roy Williams left the program for his alma mater after guiding the Jayhawks to consecutive Final Four appearances in his final two seasons coaching in the eclipse of Mount Oread.
The Jayhawk leadership handed the controls of the intergalactic empire to Bill Self, and under his tutelage they experienced a winning streak never before seen in the Jayhawk base that orbits Naismith drive. Kansas won eight consecutive Big 12 titles and Self vanquished his predecessor on the only two occasions they've met, and both became the deepest tournament runs. Self has ever made.
Now, less than sixth months after leading Kansas to the national championship game in what was billed as a ‘rebuilding year,’ Self faces a new challenge of taking a team with a core group of four seniors and a talented freshmen class as the Jayhawks attempt to win their ninth straight Big 12 title.
"I'm excited, I like our guys," Self said. "We have great experience with our senior class, they've been through a lot of battles and then we have a lot of puppies, seven freshmen. I think it will be a good team in time."
The biggest challenge facing the most recent installment of the Jayhawk franchise will be replacing the leadership and scoring lost with the departures of national player of the year candidate Thomas Robinson and four-year starter Tyshawn Taylor.
Last season the Taylor-Robinson duo led the Jayhawk star fleet, accounting for 46.3 percent of the Jayhawks scoring.
" (Thomas) gave us an air of toughness
that made other players think that they were tough and fierce because he led by example," Self said. "That's something we've got to get our guys to buy into."
The backcourt returns two of its starters from last season's run to the title game in fifth year senior and jack-of-all trades Travis Releford and a former five-star recruit Elijah Johnson, who patiently waited behind others for his chance to lead.
"Yeah, I think (the tournament success) helps, and me being an upper classman is one of the reasons they look up and listen to me." Releford said. "And I've been here five years, so I kind of know a bunch about how coach wants things to go about around
here."
The front court will also rely on a pair of seniors for leadership. Kevin Young is a high-energy player, who spent most of last year as a spark off the bench.
The other, center Jeff Withey made great strides last season, emerging as one of the top defenders in the nation down low, but his offense was inconsistent despite benefiting greatly from the presence of Robinson.
"I'm definitely going into this season with a different mindset than I did last year where I was just focused on not being the weak link in the team," Withey said. "This year I just want to be more aggressive both offensively and defensively."
Despite the heavy toll the losses of Robinson and Taylor will have on the team, the other Big 12 coaches unanimously picked the Jayhawks to repeat and win the league for a ninth consecutive season.
And nationally, the sentiment is the same, with Kansas starting the season ranked seventh in the nation in both the AP and the Coaches poll.
"I feel like even when we didn't get picked, we still had a target on our back," Releford said. "A lot of teams want to come out and beat us. But this year, same goals we have every year since I've been here to win the Big 12 and try to get a good seed to make a good run in the tournament."
Whether this team fulfills the premonitions of the Big 12 coaches and the polls rests in how the group of seniors handles their time as the leaders of the Jayhawks, and how they help the younger players develop as they make the transition to college basketball.
"I don't think there's a jubilation that goes with winning the league that you would anticipate with our guys, because I think they take the approach that this is their job," Self said.

Camping rules to change in early November
IALLISON KITE
kallison@kansan.com
Student camping rules for basketball games could change after the first regular season home game at a meeting on Nov.10.
The tradition of camping adds to the one-of-a-kind basketball experience of the Jayhawk community. However, the rules of camping can be confusing and frustrating, especially for freshmen. Students, including Trey Johnson, a senior from Leesburg, Va., run camping. Johnson helps organize camping and supervise the lottery.
Lotteries take place at 6 a.m. the day after a home game. Groups must have at least five students to qualify for the main lottery, but the groups cannot be larger than thirty members. Having larger groups gives students an advantage because students are granted one draw for the lottery for every five group members. According to Johnson, "The lottery sets up camping, and the order of the camping list." The camping list determines the order that the groups will get to choose their seats on gameday.
The process is full of rules and requirements to make it to game-day.
"We're going to all file into the gym and sit down in the bleachers behind the basket, and then you'll have your groups signed up and I'll start calling roll. And everyone will draw a number." Johnson said.
Students draw numbers that represent their place in line for seating at the next home game. However, following the lottery, students must maintain their position by camping. According to Johnson, the number of days and time spent camping will be determined by how many groups are camping and when the next home game is. The larger games, for which seats are more in demand, camping may last from one home game until the next. For smaller games, it may be cut short. Students can also choose to stop camping if there is an unanimous vote to cancel the rest of the camping process for that game.
However, while camping is going on, students must have a group member present at all times. During the week, there must be a member of the group at the camping post from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. On the weekends, someone must be present between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. Roll can be called for the camping groups at any given time throughout the process. If a group member is not present or if they do not announce their presence, the group will be eliminated from the overall camping list.
On gameday, students can bring 15 group members at one time and save seats for the remaining members. "If the game is at 7, KU Athletics people will pass out laminated numbers at 4" Johnson said. Student camping groups must arrive at Allen Fieldhouse three hours prior to game time.
According to Johnson, on Nov. 10, "After the first regular season home game, which is Nov. 9, are going to have a rule meeting and a vote and an official rule set put together." Students who wish to learn more about camping or take part in the vote should attend this meeting.

PREVIEW
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WHAT TO WATCH FOR IN MEN'S BASKETBALL
TREVOR GRAFF
tgraf@kansan.com
NEW LEADERSHIP
After averaging 16 points and hitting several clutch shots in last year's NCAA tournament, senior guard Elijah Johnson is stepping into a new role as the vocal leader of this year's squad. Johnson averaged 32 minutes per game last year with Tyshawn Taylor at the helm. This year, it's up to Elijah to run the show.
REPLACING T-ROB
Replacing the fifth pick in the NBA draft isn't easy. For this year's squad, senior center jeff Withey
will be expected to fill the void in the paint. Withey, who averaged 9 points and 3.6 blocks per game last season, worked this offseason to improve his game on the offensive end of the floor. The layhawks need him to provide a physical presence under the basket.
MCLEMORE AND TRAYLOR DEBUT
Freshman guard Ben McLemore and freshman forward Jamari Traylor join the lineup this year after sitting last season due to NCAA eligibility rules. Look for McLemore to play solid minutes, giving the Jayhawks a scoring threat at the shooting guard position. Traylor should get minutes as well.
THE YOUNG GUNS
This year's class of freshmen, featuring two ESPN 100 recruits in freshman forward Perry Ellis and freshman guard Andrew White III, is talented to say the least. Look for Ellis to crack the starting five and White to provide a spark off of the bench.
THE ROTATION
This year's roster features three seniors and seven freshmen. Although inexperienced, this lineup is definitely deeper than last year's. For coach Bill Self, the question now becomes how to best use this depth. Look for Self to start
the year with an eight- and possibly nine-man rotation.
GAMES TO WATCH
Michigan State is adding depth this season after the departure of Draymond Green. This early season matchup in Atlanta will test the cohesiveness of the Kansas squad early in the year.
Tuesday, Nov. 13, Michigan State
Saturday, Dec. 22 @ 22 Ohio State
Junior forward Deshaun Thomas and junior guard Aaron Craft return, but the Buckeyes will need a serious boost from their incoming class. That said, this roster is still very tough and the matchup in Value City Arena makes it even tougher.
Monday, Jan. 19 @ 24 Texas
young talent abounds on this year's Longhorns roster. This season's class adds four top-100 recruits to the mix. After a tough home matchup with Baylor, the first road game in the Frank Erwin Center will be difficult.
Tuesday, Jan. 22 @ Kansas State
The rivalry is reignited in Manhattan. The tough environment of the Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, the returning cast
of players, and new coach Bruce Weber make the Sunflower Showdown interesting. Look for the Jayhawks to win a tough one in Manhattan.
Saturday, March 9 @ Baylor
The regular season finale in Waco could be the toughest Big 12 game of the year for Kansas. Baylor is the popular choice for those picking against Kansas in the conference this season. With more young talent coming in, coach Scott Drew's Bears could be playing this game for a share of the Big 12 title.

The Texas Longhorns are a very young but promising group. They have few prominent upperclassmen and the starting lineup will likely feature three sophomores and two freshmen. The sophomores, however, have a lot of experience having played big minutes last season as Texas finished 6th in the Big 12 with a 20-14 overall record and made it to the NCAA Tournament.
KU
KANSAS
With J'covan Brown gone for the NBA, the Longhorns will need to fill a big scoring void. Look for sophomore guard Sheldon McClellan to lead the way for Texas as he was the second leading scorer behind Brown last season. The shooting guard averaged 11.3 points per game and those numbers should rise as he becomes the primary scorer for Texas.
While there will likely be growing pains in Austin, look for Texas to finish near the top of the Big 12 and to challenge the unanimous coaches poll that picked them to finish ninth.

The 2012 offseason was a tumultuous one for the Red Raiders. The team lost five players to transfer (including Lewandowski, Willis and Petteway) and head coach Billy Gillispie resigned from the program amid accusations of mistreatment of his players.
Interim head coach Chris Walker has the difficult task of getting the Red Raiders out of the Big 12 cellar, where the team finished last season. Despite the transfers, there is some returning talent at Texas Tech. The Red Raiders return with their top three scorers in Jordan Tolbert, Ty Nurse and Jay Crockett.
Texas Tech also adds six newcomers this season, three freshmen and three junior college transfers. One of the freshmen to watch this season is Josh Gray, a 6-1 guard who was rated by ESPN as the 18th-best point guard prospect in the country.

Although the red raiders return to top position, they are not able to reach the team, the ceiling for this team isn't very high. Texas Tech only won one Big 12 game last season and it will be challenge for Chris Walker and the Red Raiders to improve on that number for the 2012-2013 season.

The Oklahoma Sooners finished last year with a 5-13 Big 12 record. That's about the end of the bad news. Sooners guard Steven Pledger is the highest scoring returner in the Big 12. Romero Osby is the Big 12's top returning rebounder. Transfer Amath M'Baye is the Big 12 Presseason Newcomer of the Year.

Osby and Pledger were the only Sooners to earn any mentions or accolades in the previous year; both sliding in for a Big 12 honorable mention bid.

Widely respected coach Lon Kruger returns for his second year leading the Sooners, and is already in good position to have his team dancing in March. Kruger is still trying to piece together a puzzle shattered by recruiting violations under the Jeff Capel tenure, but with high-profile talent returning to the floor for the Sooners, Kruger and the Oklahoma program are sure to be on the rise.

Any analysis of the Baylor Bears this season begins with preseason Big 12 Player of the Year Pierre Jackson.
KEY DEPARTURES:
The point guard from Las Vegas, Nev. was selected as the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and as an All-Big 12 team member at the end of last season. Jackson led the Bears in assists for 30 of the team's 38 games last season, including all three games of the Big 12 tournament and for three NCAA tournament games.
This year Jackson will need to score as well. He averaged 13.8 points per game last season, but with the Bears missing Perry Jones, Quincy Acy and Quincy Miller, teams will focus their defensive game plans around stopping Jackson this season. Jackson said last season nobody knew who he was, this season it will be a completely different feeling.
Quincy Acy
Perry Jones III
Quincy Miller
Baylor coach Scott Drew has one of the best freshmen in the nation this season: McDonald's All-American Isaiah Austin. Austin's game will probably surprise people the first time they see him play. Both Drew and Austin insist that he is a good shooter and will be relied upon for 3-point shooting as a freshman, but the surprising part is that *Austin* is listed in the Baylor media guide at 7-foot-1.
KEY NEWCOMERS:
Baylor was 30-8 last season (12-6 in the Big 12) and ended its season in the Elite Eight with a loss to eventual national champion Kentucky. This season, Baylor is among the most talented teams in the Big 12. They were selected second, behind Kansas, in the preseason Big 12 coaches' poll and if there is one team that thinks they are better than Kansas this year it is Baylor.

For Kansas State this basketball season brings with it a new head coach. Bruce Weber will begin his tenure in Manhattan with help from senior shooting guard Rodney McGruder who averaged 15 points and five rebounds a game.
The Wildcats also return Will Spradling, Angel Rodrigues and Jordan Henriquez, meaning K-State will have four season's top five scorers on the court. Jamar Samuels was second in that category but graduated. Other departures from 2011-2012 season are Victor Dielwele, James Watson and Jeremy Jones
Only two freshmen will suit up for K-State this season: D. J. Johnson, who averaged 16 points 11.9 rebounds and five blocks a game last year at Park way North High School in St. Louis, and Michael Orris, who averaged 11 points and 4 assists a game for Crete-Monee High School in Crete, Ill. Ryan Schultz transferred from Hutchison Community College and looks to see some time on the floor.
Last year ended for the Wildcats when Syracuse took their ticket to the Sweet Sixteen, but with most of last season's starting lineup returning K-State is poised to make a run to its fifth Final Four.

Coach Bob Huggins returns to the Big 12 after leaving his head coaching position at Kansas State for West Virginia after the 2007 season. West Virginia, who finished last season with a 19-14 record, will try to replace the team's two leading scorers, Jones and Bryant, with transfers Murray and Staten.
While finding scorers may prove elusive in the backcourt, the Mountaineers have a solid frontcourt. Defense and rebounding have always been the forte of a Huggins-led team and this season is no different. Murray, a 6-foot-10 center, and returning big man Deniz Kilicli will help control the paint and make West Virginia tough to beat.
The Mountaineer backcourt is full of young players, with sophomore Jabarie Hinds, who averaged 7.4 points and 3.3 assists per game last season, and the sophomore transfer Staten projected as the starters. Both are able to handle the ball but could find it difficult to score against the tough defenses in the Big 12.
KEY DEPARTURES:
Kevin Jones

West Virginia was picked to finish 6th by coaches in the preseason poll. The long trips to the Big 12's Midwestern schools could be tiring for the Mountaineers, but a trip to Morgantown is always difficult for opposing teams. This team will have a chance to make the tournament. Expect West Virginia to get better as the season progresses.

RANKED
The Jayhawks enter the 2012 season ranked 25th in the USA Today Coaches Poll. They were also picked to finish fourth in the Big 12 in a vote among conference head coaches. Kansas appears to be in a four-team group that will compete for conference honors.
RETURN TRIP TO THE
TOURNAMENT
Kansas hopes to build on the momentum of the Sweet Sixteen run of last year by returning to the NCAA tournament this season. A return trip to the tournament would mark the first back-to-back appearances in coach Henrickson's Kansas career.
BIG 12 CONFERENCE COMPETITION
Kansas appears to be part of a four-team group that will compete for conference honors. In the Big 12 Coaches Poll, Baylor collected 81 votes, behind nine firstplace votes. Oklahoma and West Virginia each received 65 tallies, while KU earned 58.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Carolyn Davis: The Jayhawks are depending on the return of Carolyn Davis, who suffered a knee injury during the Kansas State game last season. Davis averaged 16.9 points per game in 23 games last year, leading the Jayhawks in scoring average.
Angel Goodrich: Kansas will also depend on Angel Goodrich's work at guard this year. Last year Goodrich earned WBCA All-America Honorable Mention honors. She racked up 250 assists to accompany her 14-point per game scoring average.
GAMES TO WATCH
Dec. 6 at Arkansas
The Golden Bears are also receiving votes in the coaches poll. They finished last year 24-9 with the help of Layshia Clarendon, the leading scorer from last year's team, who averaged 18.2 per game.
Arkansas finished last season 23-8 overall and 10-6 in SEC play. The Razorbacks are receiving votes in the coaches poll.
Dec. 21 at California
Jan. 5 at West Virginia
The Jayhawks' first trip to Morgantown could be difficult as the Mountaineers are receiving votes. This game marks the start of the toughest stretch of the season for the Jayhawks.
Jan. 13 vs. Baylor
Allen Fieldhouse could provide the best opportunity for Kansas to unseat a top-ranked Baylor squad. Senior center Brittney Griner will provide a challenge as always.
The second-to-last regular season game of the year could have major ramifications for Kansas' Big 12 run. Oklahoma is on the bubble of the Top 25. A late season match up on the Sooners' home court will prove entertaining.

Last season marked the first time the Iowa State Cyclones made the NCAA tournament since 2005. Led by "The Mayor of Ames", coach Fred Hoiberg, the Cyclones have resurrected their basketball program, going 39-27 in the past two seasons, 23-11 last year, beating Connecticut in the first round of the last year's NCAs before falling to the eventual champion, the Kentucky Wildcats, 87-71.

But it won't come easy. Iowa State loses first team All-Big 12 forward Royce White and third team All-Big 12 guard Scott Christopher. White gave the Cyclones an imposing presence inside the lane, and Christopherson added a dimension with his three-point shooting. Those are big shoes to fill in Ames, Iowa.
The team returns Chris Baab, who made 64 three-pointers last year, junior All-Big 12 honorable mention Melvin Eijm and senior Tyrus McGee, from a team that won 12 conference games. Iowa State will have some veterans, but it will likely be the new faces that need to carry the team.
Iowa State is an diverse collection of players from about every corner of the United States. It will be interesting to see how they learn to gel with one another.
The Cyclones are predicted to finish eighth in the Big 12, and while they may not match their third place finish from last year, they should be playing their best basketball in March, and it is always tough to win in Ames. Kansas fell victim to "Hilton Magic" last year, losing 72-64 in late January. It was one of just two losses Kansas had in conference play.

Johnson holds a winning record at all three of his previous jobs—Louisiana State, Stanford and Nevada. He has also been awarded Coach of the Year honors in each of the conferences he's coached in.
TCU is selected to finish last in the Big 12 this season after finishing last season with a 7-7 conference record in the Mountain West. TCU will start the season after losing Hank Thorns and J.R. Cadot, the team's top two scores from last season.
That being said, TCU does have three returning key players and the addition of Devonta Abron, a transfer from Arkansas He averaged 5.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per game as a true freshman at Arkansas, but played his best game against Connecticut with an eight-point, 16-rebound game.

Jen is the team's top returning scorer and the first frog in the Boston Celtics in 2005. Green is also blessed with good bloodlines—his older brother Gerald was a first-round pick of the Boston Celtics in 2005. Anderson was named Freshman of the Year in the Mountain West conference last season and is expected to take over the point guard duties this season. Fields enters the season after being chosen as the Mountain West conference's Sixth Man of the Year. Fields led TCU in blocked shots and field goal percentage last season while ranked third in scoring, fourth in 3-pointers and seventh in rebounding.
If nothing else, TCU should have the size to match up with most teams in the Big 12, with six players on the Horned Frog roster over 6-foot-7.

Kansas women's basketball will enter the season ranked number four in the Big 12 preseason poll behind defending national champion Baylor, Oklahoma and newcomer West Virginia.
But just because the jayhawks are picked to finish fourth doesn't mean senior point guard Angel Goodrich will concede anything to the higher-ranked teams.
"All I know is any team can be beaten. We are a great team," Goodrich said earlier, this
month. "I feel like any team can be beaten any night, it's just a matter of who comes to play."

said there were
three or four teams in the Big 12 that would fight for the ranking below Baylor.
"We have to bring our A game and find a way to win." Hendrickson said.
There are a lot of expectations for the Jayhawks after coming off of a Sweet 16 appearance. Henrickson said building on that success would be great, but that the team's league play needs to improve.
"There are no nights off in this league. You can't show up and not think it's going to be a dog fight."
"There are no nights off in this league. You can't just show up and not think it's going to be a dog fight."
Matchups against Idaho State, Creighton, Minnesota, Arkansas and California — all of whom went to some form of postseason play last year — will give the Jayhawks a chance to compete at a high level before conference play begins.
"We have to win more games in our league," Henrickson said. "We played with more confidence on the road, with a door-die attitude trying to get in. We have to transfer that into league play.
"Minnesota is big and physical, which we will be able to turn them into how WVU plays," Henrickson said. "Arkansas had a big year and made the tournament. We're at their place so that's a good opportunity to get a big win on the road. It'll show us how hard you have to work

to win on the tow. And Cal will be a great challenge for us, possibly a top-15 team when we play them."
One of the big things the Jayhawks will
have to do is play better inside Allen Fieldhouse.
"We have to be better at home. There was times at home that I just shook my head. We didn't have the bounce and pop that we've always had and I still haven't figured it out," Henrickson said. "We have to get that right and that speaks to the consistency."
Goodrich said she doesn't know why they didn't play well at Allen Fieldhouse and that it needs to change.
"Home court is supposed to be your home court and no one is suppose to be beat you." Goodrich said.

Islam Awareness Week aims to dispel misconceptions
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN

based on the
QUR'AN
A table set up at the Kansas Union displays information about the Pillars of Islam, Monday, November 5, was the start of Islam Awareness Week, which runs through Friday, November 9. More information can be found at msku.edu.
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING rschlighting@kansan.com
Danielle Reed, a junior from Carlisle, Penn., converted from Christianity to Islam three and a half years ago. Before conversion, Reed served in the U.S. Army during the Sept. 11th attacks. She met a Muslim man, now her fiancé, who helped change her views on Islam.
Changing views about the religion is the main goal of Islam Awareness Week, happening on campus this week.
Reed attended the Importance of Interfaith Dialogue: An Interfaith Banquet presented by the Muslim Student Association (MSA) on Saturday. The banquet was the first event to celebrate Islam Awareness Week. During the event, panelists discussed similarities and interfaith issues among Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The panel consisted of Justin Held, a senior from Plymouth, Minn., who represented the Jewish community, Peter Steimle, a former student and pastor, who represented the Mormon community, and Abdulbaki Agbas, an associate professor of biochemistry at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, who represented the Muslim community.
"Our goal is to open up to the community and let them know that we're a part of the community as much as everyone else."
SAIMA AZAD
Secretary for the
Muslim Student Association
"It was really awesome to see different viewpoints," said Nicole Gilmore, a sophomore from Baxter Springs. "Many times people get so enclosed in their own beliefs without actually considering other points of view. It was good to see other faiths come together and talk about larger issues that are current in
today's society."
MSA is hosting more events throughout the week in conjunction with Islam awareness week. Event times and locations can be found at calendar.ku.edu. The organization also has an informational table set up in the Kansas Union lobby until Friday.
"Our goal is to open up to the community and let them know that we're a part of the community as much as everyone else is and show people that we can all co-exist together and that we do not hate anyone," said Saima Azad, the secretary for MSA.
"In America, there are very aggressive views towards Islam and they categorize the extremists," said Sean Gilmore, a sophomore from Baxter Springs.
With its events and info tables, MSA plans to shed light on stereotypes of Muslims and educate people about misconceptions of Islam.

Libertarian candidate visits campus

For the first time since Robert Kennedy's campaign in 1968, a candidate for the White House
has stopped to speak at the University prior to a national election.

Democrats are blue," said Judge Jim Gray, Libertarian vice presidential candidate, during a rally held in the Kansas Union Monday afternoon. "But Libertarians are different. We are red, white and blue."
"We all know that Republicans are red and

final stops on the campaign trail.
"The sole purpose and function of the Libertarian party is the perpetuation and promotion of liberty," said Al Terwelp, sophomore from Overland Park and chairman of the Libertarian Party of Kansas.
Before visiting the University, Gray campaigned across the country, urging Americans to vote for his party's platform.
"The party is mostly about personal responsibility and

Besides education, Gray discussed how he and presidential candidate Gov. Gary Johnson could help the economic situation.
individual freedom. We are for social freedom and economic freedom, which really distinguishes us from the two major parties."
"The biggest threat to our country is a weak and failing economy" Gray said. "If Gov. Johnson and I were to be elected, we would present a balanced budget to Congress now. Not next year, not four years but, now."
Judge Gray said the federal government should not decided how and where a child is educated.
"The youth are burdened with the most debt," Orwick said. "We're in a situation where student loan debt exceeds credit card debt, which is just outrageous. We could put someone in office that could really help us with that situation."
Orwick said young people have
a unique opportunity this election.
Gray echoes this sentiment of deciding who could run this country, whether that person is Libertarian or not.
"It's our government, and if it's not working, we have no one to blame but ourselves," Gray said. "What one person can do, though, is amazing; just look at the people who planned this rally today. One person really can make a difference."

Breaking down the issues that matter to young voters
JESSICA BJORGAARD

In a survey taken during the two weeks prior to the 2012 presidential election, students from the University of Kansas indicated that a candidate's stance on economic policy and the government's role in healthcare were more important than the race, religion or socioeconomic status of the candidate.
One hundred and eleven students at the University participated in the survey which asked questions about their media habits, knowledge of candidates and attitudes toward national issues. Perceptions on the level of importance of seven issues were asked including the candidate's stance on abortion, the governments role in healthcare, immigration reform, economic policy, and the candidate's own race, religion and socioeconomic status.
Nearly 80 percent of students responded that the candidate's stance on economic policy was very important; followed by the candidate's stance on government's role in healthcare, which 63 percent of respondents said was very important. The next important issues were the candidate's stance on immigration reform and abortion. 72 percent and 70 percent of respondents, respectively, said that the issues were either somewhat important or very important.
The candidate's race was the least important factor in the upcoming election. Three out of every four respondents said that the candidate's race was either completely unimportant or somewhat unimportant. With regards to the
When responses were cross-examined by gender, the largest discrepancy seen was in regards to a candidate's religion and socioeconomic status. With religion, nearly 40 percent of women responded that it was somewhat or very important versus only 27 percent of men who responded the same way. With the candidate's socioeconomic status, nearly 50 percent of women said it was somewhat or very important versus only 38 percent of men who responded the that way.
candidate's religion, more than 65 percent of respondents said that it was completely unimportant, somewhat unimportant or neutral. However, when asked about the candidate's socioeconomic 44 percent said that it was either somewhat important or very important. Opposed to 35 percent that said it was unimportant. This could be attributed to the high amount of attention given to the economic policy of the candidates.
Of the students who responded, Republicans and Democrats were nearly equally represented 34 percent and 36 percent respectively. The rest of the respondents identified themselves as either independent (22.5 percent), Libertarian (4.5 percent) or other (3 percent). Slightly more women than men responded - 54 percent versus 46 percent. The results of the survey may differ from the student population at the University of Kansas because of the students surveyed nearly all of them were journalism or political science majors.

Election doesn't interest youth
ALLISON KITE akite@kansan.com
Although 18 to 21-year-olds are the most recent demographic to gain voting rights, this group is also the least likely to take advantage of it. According to an article by Cheryl Russell in The New Republic, voting among 18 to 29-year-olds dropped 17 percentage points between 1972 and 2000.
Young adults today feel disconnected from the political system. Many believe that in the national election, one vote doesn't matter. However, two groups of KU students beg to differ.
Haley Mitgang, a senior from San Francisco and a member of the KU Young Democrats, said voting is important for every college student.
"Issues are important and you should be aware of what's going on and you should vote," Mitgang said. "That's why we're given the opportunity to vote, so we should take advantage of it."
"I formed my opinions based off of an initially objective look at America and looking at my personal convictions," Pahls said.
Emily Kawola, a freshman from Boston, said she used an absentee ballot to cast her vote.
Mitgang and Kawola both said they formed their political beliefs based on their surroundings and upbringing.
"This is an opportunity to feel like you have a say and a voice in what goes on in the country," Kawola said.
On the other hand, Eric Pahls, a freshman from Beloit and a member of KU College Republicans said that he formed his political opinions on his own.
"I was not raised to think any certain way, so I got a chance to side with what I felt was important."
"These last four years have not shown the progress we were promised," Pahls said. "Sure, social issues are very important, but right now, our priority must be to salvage this economy and get America back on a path to prosperity."
Voters in today's election are concerned about economics.
Though she is concerned about the economy, Mitgang is more interested in social issues.
"I am in favor of Obamacare," Mitgang said. "I think that everyone needs to be covered."
She said she is especially concerned with women's health care issues. Like Pahls, she is also concerned about the economy.
"I think that a lot of the time with economics, no matter who is our president, it's going to kind of pan out in the same way," Mitgang said.
On the other hand, Pahls said that he votes for what he believes to be best for the country. In his case, that person is usually, but not always, Republican.
Many students differ on how they choose their candidate. Kawola said she mostly votes for the Democratic candidates.
No matter students party affiliations and beliefs, Nov. 6, 2012 will be an important day to participate.
"Sometimes it turns out that way, but that is not the intent," Pahls said. We do not vote to do what is best for our party. Rather, our party represents what we think is best for America."

CORRECTIONS
- The "Your guide to the 2012 election" article in yesterday's Kansan misprinted state senator Marci Francisco's information. Francisco was on the Democratic Party Platform committee as well as state and national committees. She would like to restore state funding for the arts and education and preserve the current system for judicial selection.
The story also left out information about four other races. Republican Ronald Ellis and Democrat Marci Francisco are running for 2nd District, State Senate. Republican Anthony Brown and
Democrat Tom Holland are running for the 3rd District. Democrat Paul Davis is running unopposed for state representative of the 46th District. Republican Ken Corbet and Democrat Ann Mah are running for the 54th District.
On Travis Reileford's poster, "Jayhawks" is misspelled.
- In yesterday's basketball preview The Kansan incorrectly printed Elijah Johnson's number on his poster. His number is 15.

Puerto Ricans vote on statehood
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Puerto Rican voters will once again ponder the decades-old question over the island's political future when they go to the polls Tuesday: What kind of relationship do they really want with the United States?
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Officially, the Caribbean island is the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a semi-autonomous extension of the U.S. mainland, its giant neighbor 1,000 miles to the northwest. But in fact it is a territory, lacking both the freedom
of an independent country and some of the fundamental rights it would have if it was a U.S. state.
Do they support the status quo? Or would they prefer statehood, independence or "sovereign free association," a designation that would give the island of nearly 4 million people more autonomy?
Aimed at resolving the 114-year-old conundrum over Puerto Rico's status, Tuesday's referendum marks the fourth time in 45 years that a vote has been held on the island's future. Past balloting has never given statehood a majority, and independence never garnered more than 5 percent, but debate over the territory's legal standing remained heated.
The latest vote comes at an especially difficult time for the island as it struggles to recover from an economic crisis and fights a wave of violent crime. Puerto Rico reported a record 1,117 killings last year, and its 13.6 percent unemployment is higher than that of any U.S. state.
AFRICA
The ballot measure's first question asks voters if they support the island's current status, while a second one offers the options of statehood, independence or sovereign free association. The U.S. Congress would have to agree to any change.
Recent surveys have said a limited majority favors the status quo in the referendum's first question. Regarding the second question, surveys found statehood and increased autonomy nearly tied, with a small percentage favoring independence.
Noel Colon Martinez, a political analyst who once ran for governor under the Puerto Rican Independence Party, said the referendum is confusing because it forces voters to choose from three options they might not favor.

Kenyan witch doctor claims to predict election
KOGELO, Kenya — At President Barack Obama's ancestral village in Kenya, witch doctor John Dimo tossed some shells, bones and other items to determine who will win Tuesday's election.
It's not a surprising result in Kogelo, Obama's late father's hometown in western Kenya, where expectations of an Obama election victory over Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney were high on Monday.
After throwing the objects like so many dice outside his hut in Kogelo village, Dimo, who says he is 105 years old, points to a white shell and declares: "Obama is very far ahead and is definitely going to win."
While pollsters in the U.S. are using interviews, statistical analysis and the technology to predict the outcome of the election in America — one that is expected to be close — Dimo uses techniques he learned from his father, and is confident of his predictions.

Report finds company ignored safety warnings
The official report released Monday after 11 weeks of hearings on the disaster found broad safety problems in New Zealand workplaces and said the Pike River Coal company was exposing miners to unacceptable risks as it strove to meet financial targets.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A New Zealand coal mining company ignored 21 warnings that methane gas had accumulated to explosive levels before an underground explosion killed 29 workers two years ago, an investigation concluded.
"The company completely and utterly failed to protect its workers." New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said Monday.
The country's labor minister, Kate Wilkinson, resigned from her labor portfolio after the report's release, saying she felt it was the honorable thing to do after the tragedy occurred on her watch. She plans to retain her remaining government responsibilities.
The Royal Commission report said New Zealand has a poor workplace safety record and its regulators failed
to provide adequate oversight before the explosion.
At the time of the disaster, New Zealand had just two mine inspectors who were unable to keep up with their workload, the report said. Pike River was able to obtain a permit with no scrutiny of its initial health and safety plans and little ongoing scrutiny.
Key said he agrees with the report's conclusion that there needs to be a philosophical shift in New Zealand from believing that companies are acting in the best interests of workers to a more proscriptive set of regulations that forces companies to do the right thing.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE PHOTO
Gwen Stefani of No Doubt performing at the 2012 iHeartRadio Music Festival at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Nev. No Doubt has pulled its new cowboys-and-Indians-themed music video and is apologizing to Native Americans and others who were offended by the clip.
No Doubt apologizes
LOS ANGLES — Rock band No Doubt quickly found itself in hot water after releasing a new video last week for the song "Looking Hot," which featured an Old West theme and singer Gwen Stefani in Native American-style clothing and taking part in native rituals. The band pulled the video from YouTube and Vevo and offered an apology on its official website.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
"As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures," the statement reads. "Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history."
The Facebook page for For Accurate Indigenous Representation Media, or F.A.I.R., flagged the video and sent a message to the band: "Gwen Stefani — You may think you are 'Looking Hot' — but you are not. You are just looking like yet another insensitive, entitled, hipster who is letting her white privilege slip show. And it's oh so unfashionable."
The video was directed by Melina Matsoukas, who previously ran into trouble for Rihannas "S&M" video.
which spurred a lawsuit by photographer David LaChapelle charging that Matsoukas and Rihanna had appropriated his images without his consent. That case was settled out of court.
In the "Looking Hot" video, which is still accessible on some websites, Stefani wears a headband and a beaded vest and is shown communing with a wolf and dancing around a bonfire in the midst of a circle of teepees. She also engages in a battle with black-hatted cowboys, including No Doubt drummer Adrian Young, who attack the village and capture Stefani and bassist Tony Kanal, who is also outfitted as a member of a tribe. From his jail cell, Kanal throws a tomahawk to cut a rope restraining Stefani, allowing her to escape.
"Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people," No Doubt's statement continued. "This is of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately.
"The music that inspired us when we started the band, and the community of friends, family and
fans that surrounds us was built upon respect, unity and inclusiveness," it read. "We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are."
The video generated considerable criticism on the group's Facebook page.
"This depiction does romanticize the violence done to natives," Angela Jenkums wrote. "No, the natives didn't get away in the end with a fun quirky twist, looking stunning in traditional dress. It's unfortunate because it seems to me that No Doubt (or the director of this vid) was inspired by native culture and beauty, and didn't take their thought process any further than that."
On F.A.I.R.'s Facebook page, the band's decision generated some supportive responses.
PAGE 4
"Happy to hear that they took the comment seriously and did something about it," Tammy Copegog Cascagnette wrote. "Hopefully, word will spread and we won't have to keep dealing with this."
The group is now creating a lyric video for "Looking Hot" to replace the original.

Concert raises $23 million for Red Cross
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES (AP) — NBC says its benefit concert for Superstorm Sandy victims drew nearly $23 million in donations to the American Red Cross.
Pledges made by phone and online totaled $22.9 million, NBCUniversal and the American Red Cross said.
Friday's hour-long telethon included performances by artists native to the areas hardest-hit by Sandy, including New Jersey natives Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi and Billy Joel of New York's Long Island. Others who took part in the special included
The telethon's mood was somber but hopeful, from Aguilera's "Beautiful" to Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer."
Sandy's assault last week killed more than 100 people in 10 states and created widespread damage and power outages.
Sting, Christina Aguilera, Mary J Blige, Tina Fey and Jon Stewart.

Obama could be remembered as successful
Whoever wins the presidential election tomorrow is likely to be credited with what will almost inevitably be an economic recovery and a more productive, prosperous tenure than the last four years.
If Gov. Mitt Romney is elected, then this recovery will in all odds continue. But much as President BarackObama, in a hypothetically fair world, should bear little of the guilt for the deep economic doldrums that welcomed him into the Oval Office, Romney would receive far more credit than he would be due if shortly into his term the pace of the economy accelerated.
Obama has laid the groundwork for a recovery that, if agonizingly slow, has at least been deliberate and consistent. There are many reasons to be optimistic about the next four years and to be careful about critiquing the last four, including evidence that the economy is actually on the right track.
One indicator signaling that America is indeed heading "forward" and is well on the road to recovery is, as of last Friday,

that we have now added more jobs than we have lost for 32 months straight (the unemployment rate did rise from 7.8 percent to 7.9 percent, data according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, but that was a result of more people entering the labor force. A higher number of jobs added than lost can still show a rate higher than the previous month's if more people become unemployed who were previously not in the labor force as was seen in the month of October). That does not happen by accident or because we are in a recession, it is clear, consistent evidence that the economy is steadily growing. This defiant growth is not the only positive economic news; these job numbers have come amid numerous reports of growth in the auto industry, manufacturing, and evidence that housing is back.

Obama's first term was like a movie that set the stage for a really cool sequel, but it was not anybody's favorite to watch and it did not get great reviews (underdated in a "Batman Begins" kind of way). Much of what will define his administration, if he wins this
I smiled at Jeff Withey as he walked past me today. Then I realized I was too short for him to be able to see me.
election, hinges on his second term.
One issue that could become paramount in the next four years is the debt crisis. Obama is often criticized for the way the total debt ballooned under his watch, but looking at the debt from a total sum standpoint as a way of analyzing a president's impact can be misleading. A president's influence on the debt comes from the annual federal budget.
When Obama took office the federal budget for the fiscal year 2009, the last year George W. Bush's administration was responsible for the budget, was at a $1.4 trillion deficit. According to government spending, the deficit each of the three years since then, under Obama, has been under $1.4 trillion ($1.29, $1.3,
and $1.09 trillion, respectively)
and is projected to be less than $1 trillion in 2013 for the first time since the recession. This shows a budget reduction during Obama's term. The deficits he was running were high but the costs of not running them during a recession, when revenue goes down and spending goes up, are likely to have been catastrophic as both parties seem to agree given the deficit ran in Bush's final budget.
The annual deficits must be addressed, but responsibly so. Obama has set us in the clear direction of bringing down deficits and he will have to continue to do so, but it will take much longer to fix the problem than the next four years regardless of who is elected. As an issue that is one of the most important to our future, he will have to continue this trend in his second term as well as quicken its pace the further away from the recession we get.
By no means would Obama be a consensus pick to win a presidential popularity contest, at the moment, but the president's significant first term achievements could play better in the
history books. Obama's keynote accomplishment coming in healthcare reform does not drum up much enthusiasm with some people today but breaching that milestone after failed efforts from Harry Truman and Franklin D. Roosevelt is something he can hang his hat on.
Barack Obama has more highlights to add to his resume including his handling of highly unpopular wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama did not start either of them but ended one in Iraq and has been clear that he wants to get out of Afghanistan as soon as possible. If he follows through with the timeline he has outlined, like he did in Iraq, then he will have ended two wars by 2014.
Ultimately if President Obama is re-elected and keeps us on this path he could still be remembered as highly successful. And even that could be an understatement.

MOVIES
Disney's Star Wars has potential
Along time ago in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas made history, with the 1977 release of (now named) "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" and paved the way for a number of other blockbusters and franchises that would eventually make him billions of dollars. Lucas is either not satisfied with the royalties and profits made from his creations up until now, or simply tired of the pressure that comes with adding to his masterpieces and has plans to sell his single ownership of Lucasfilm to the Walt Disney Corporation for a whopping $4.05 Billion.
By Caleb Sisk
csisk@kansan.com
Lucas' original trilogy immediately developed a large, dedicated following of die-hard fans that would sooner fall on their own light saber than see anyone make the smallest change to the original trilogy. Therefore, when Lucas commissioned and released the second Star Wars trilogy, comprised of three prequels, the stake, and expectations were understandably sky high. This new trilogy fell far short of the lofty expectations of Lucas' loyal fan base, due in part to the introduction of certain new characters and plot devices.
Ask any die-hard Star Wars nerd which of the over 17,000 characters in the Star Wars universe they would kill off given
the chance and 10 times out of 10 the answer will be Jar Jar Binks. By taking the new trilogy in a new, more lighthearted direction, Lucas was met with a large number of nasty accusations and insults that vilified him as having ruined the integrity of a masterpiece of cinematic brilliance.
It is these vilifying comments that have lead Lucas to sell the rights to his brainchild away to Disney. Lucas and many others believe that Disney has the capability and the personnel to bolster the franchise and create something Star Wars fans can accept and enjoy.
Lucas, not being in charge of every facet of production, will allow for a lot more options once the new trilogy starts filming. Fans might finally see some of their ideas and dreams for the franchise make their way to the big screen as the creative minds at Disney are sure to pull out all the stops to please them.
the franchise is heading in, though. Many fans are still having flashbacks to the Jar Jar Binks catastrophe and are doubtful that anything good will come of this. These are the same fans that condemned Lucas for making Ewoks blink in the 3D re-release of the original trilogy, so it is difficult to take these criticisms seriously.
Not everyone is excited about this new direction that
Personally, I side with the group of fans that are excited to see what direction Disney chooses to take the franchise in. I believe that with Disney at the helm the franchise could very well be moving towards a new trilogy to rival the original in both storytelling and mind-blowing special effects.
So will these new movies turn out to be flops or masterpieces? It is difficult to make any predictions concerning quality at this early stage, but the excitement is already palpable. Once casting choices begin to surface we might have a better idea of just how especially good or bad these new movies will be. But for now all we can do is wait until we are once again transported to a galaxy far, far away.

ELECTION
Today is election day. But more importantly, it's my girlfriend's birthday.
That's right. After all the hours I spent bickering over economic policy in the cafeteria, shushing chatty viewers at my convention/ debate watch parties and subsequently scouring Politifact.com to see which candidate lied more, ignoring my professors as I read every new poll and election update on Politico.com under the guise of "note taking," and losing sleep over writing my quasi-political columns, I'm telling you that this election is not the end of the world. I'm celebrating today. My girlfriend is 18 now and I'm 19 and we're going to vote together – and that's really exciting. But then we're going to go have dinner, complete with cake and presents, and I'm not going to focus on the election. Because some things are just more important.
I am Will's raging hypocrisy.
Ian Winn's aging hypocrisy.
To know me is to argue with me. I've been at the forefront of this election's bipartisan bloodshed since Herman Cain first unveiled his Big Pizza Diplomacy and Rick Perry racked the cavernous depths of his skull to remember exactly what that third thing was. From the moment I laid eyes on the GOP's clown car of candidates, I've been convinced that this election is the prophesied Mayan apocalypse, with the American people holding the fate of my beloved country in their grubby, indecissive hands. Let it be clear, I have absolutely no faith in Gov. Mitt Romney as president. But I have faith in the system and I still have faith in these United States of America.
The U.S. presidency has a term limit for a reason: sometimes, we elect the wrong person. Or sometimes we don't elect them, but they "win" the presidency anyway. Regardless, our system ensures that no one can ruin the country for more than four years at a time without a little citizen intervention. You don't have to support the president; in fact, it is our civic duty to question our government. But with that being said, you shouldn't sabotage him either. Don't waste his time with an outrageous birth certificate controversy. Don't block every budget or piece of legislation he proposes just because he prefers donkeys to elephants, or vice-versa. Don't pray for a negative jobs report and a stock market dip just to make him look bad. Whether Obama or Romney wins, give the president a chance to lead. Then they'll answer to us.
By Will Webber
wwebber@kansan.com
In 2004, my family woke up on the first Wednesday of November with a bad case of election hangover. The reality of a third Bush term had us really worried. Dad would always jokingly threaten (I think?) to leave the country, but I guess we're still here. And you know what? The country fell into a devastating economic collapse and came no nearer to a "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq or Afghanistan. But my parents were always resolute in maintaining our values and way of life. We worked hard. We saved our money. We weren't hurt by the recession. And when Obama took the reins, our situation didn't really change for better or for worse. It didn't matter who was in office; our lives would go on because we wanted them to.
I've got a lot riding on this election, particularly in the health care debate. If Obama wins, I can return to my affordable and convenient blood infusion treatments by 2014. If Romney wins, we may have to set aside another $120,000 in our annual family budget. But no matter the outcome, my parents assure me that I'm taken care of and I know that my beautiful girlfriend will be there to squeeze my hand every time the IVs come out. I will not let this election, or any, run my life. I'm focusing on what's important today.

BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousougian@kansan.com
C
1. Kansas State (9-0)
Kansas State wins again and holds its No. 2 national ranking. However, Wildcats fans are holding their breath as they wait for good news on quarterback Collin Klein. Coach Bill Snyder is hopeful that Klein will be available against Texas Christian, according to the Associated Press. Klein sustained a concussion against Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Q
2. Oklahoma (5-3)
Landry Jones does it again. After Oklahoma's second loss of the season, Jones led his team to victory helping the Sooners remain one of the teams in the Big 12. Oklahoma must avoid another loss to maintain a high spot in the rankings.
3. Texas (7-2)
With a big road win for Texas, the final three games are crucial and will determine where they finish in the rankings and in the conference. The Longhorns are a competitive team. If David Ash can be the quarterback he was against Texas Tech, the Longhorns can compete with any team in the Big 12.
T
4. Texas Tech (6-3)
Texas Tech is slowly declining in the Big 12 after losing its second straight conference game. The Red Raiders only won two of their last five games, all against Big 12 opponents. Coach Tommy Tuberville can't afford to lose his third straight game to Kansas this Saturday.
OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY
5. Oklahoma State (5-3)
A dominant Kansas State team snapped Oklahoma's State three-game winning streak on Saturday. Despite the loss, the Cowboys were the first team to put up 30 points on the Wildcats this year and have some positives they can build off. They'll have to limit their turnovers after throwing four interceptions on the road.
TCU
HORNED FROGS
6. Texas Christian (6-3)
Texas Christian has faced a lot of roadblocks this season after having to deal with the loss of one quarterback. When Trevone Boykin took over as the quarterback, there was some uncertainty about TCU, but he has found his rhythm and feels more comfortable with his new role.
WV
7. West Virginia (5-3)
West Virginia kicked off the season second in the Big 12 preseason polls and earned seven votes for first place as conference newcomers. Now the Mountaineers have lost their third straight game and are nowhere near the top of the conference. After sitting on top of the conference four weeks ago, coach Dana Holgorsen is disappointed with the state of his team.
STATE
8. Iowa State (5-4)
Iowa State has had an up and down season. The Cyclones placed in the top 25 earlier this season, only to fall off and find themselves on the bottom tier of the conference. With games against struggling opponents, like Kansas and West Virginia remaining, they have a shot at digging themselves out of the Big 12 basement.
BAYLOR
BEARS
9. Baylor (4-4)
KU
Baylor earned a much-needed win at home against Kansas. Baylor captured its first conference win of the season, but still have a lot of work to do moving forward, especially with Oklahoma, Kansas State and Texas Tech as its next three opponents.
10. Kansas (1-8)
Kansas is dealing with some growing pains on the road in the Big 12. The Jayhawks have allowed over 40 points in each of their three Big 12 road games. Coach Charlie Weis continues to stay optimistic but desperately wants to coach his team to see his players win.

THE MORNING BREW McCarron goes above and beyond to deliver for Alabama
Through 58 minutes in Saturday's mega match-up between Louisiana State and Alabama. Crimson Tide
quarterback AJ McCarron had totaled only 93 passing yards. But with his senior season and a possible national championship on the line in Baton Rouge, La. McCarron showed exactly what it takes to be a champion.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
Alabama fans watched an 11-point first half lead evaporate as LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger threw for more yards on the praised Alabama defense than any quarterback this season. The energy grew in Tiger Stadium and McCarron was handed the ball with 1:34 remaining in the game, with his Crimson Tide down 17-14.
McCarron knew what was at stake. He had promised earlier in the year that he wouldn't let his team lose to LSU this sea son, knowing the winner will likely represent the division in the South Eastern Conference Championship Game. With a modest schedule for the remainder of the year, Alabama was facing its last
major hurdle, an extremely talented LSU defense and more than 92,000 screaming fans hoping to see them fail.
McCarron stepped up to the plate. And boy did he deliver.
McCarron hit wide receiver sophomore Kevin Norwood on three consecutive plays, each for first downs, to put Alabama in range for a game-tying field goal.
But McCarron doesn't settle for anything less than the best, and this season was no exception. He has yet to throw an interception this year, and is expertly managing what could be the most
talented team in football. McCarron is 19-1 as a starter and also has a BCS National Championship under his belt.
So with Alabama already in field goal range, McCarron went for more. He dropped back, drew the defense and dumped the ball off to running back freshman T.J. Yeldon on a screen pass. Yeldon scampered 28 yards for a touchdown, putting Alabama ahead 21-17 with just 51 seconds remaining.
McCarron was elated. He had willed his team down the field to score the most important touchdown of the season. As he sat on the bench waiting for his defense to eventually shutdown the LSU offense and secure the win, he was in tears. He was a warrior that had left it all on the field, expending every ounce of his mental, physical and emotional energy for his teammates. And after a heartfelt interview following the game, he ran straight to his parents in the stands and engulfed them with a championship-caliber hug.
KU
McCarron is a winner, and he does everything his team asks him to do to
accomplish that. And when the game is on the line, he does even more. Not because he is the biggest or the strongest, but because he puts everything he has into the game.
"I just love moments like that," McCarron said after the game in an Associated Press story. "I like having the ball in pressure situations. When you've got teammates like I have, it makes your job easy."

Bucs running back Doug Martin rushes for franchise record
A small tweak to his style at the suggestion of coach Greg Schiano proved to be just the trick to give Martin a record-setting day.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Rookie Doug Martin broke through a few holes early only to stumble after a short gain on what he felt should have been big gainers.
Martin rushed for a franchise-record 251 yards and four touchdowns, and Ahmad Black intercepted a Carson Palmer pass after Oakland had cut an 18-point deficit to three late in the fourth quarter as the Bucs beat the Raiders 42-32 Sunday.
"A few of those I got through the line and kind of stumbled and my head went down. Coach kept
telling me, 'Get your head up, get your head up,' because that will increase your balance," Martin said. "So after that I kept my head up and kept my balance and I was on to the races."
Was he ever.
by scoring on runs of 1,45,67 and 70 yards in front of more than 60 friends and family members.
Martin, who was born in Oakland and went to high school in nearby Stockton, had a memorable return home for the Bucs (4-4)
"Everybody was there. It was awesome," he said. "It's surreal right now. I'm just doing my job out there. I'm honored."
Martin, the 31st pick in April out of Boise State, became the first back since at least 1940 to score on three TD runs of at least 45 yards
in one game, according to STATS LLC.
He finished 45 yards shy of tying Adrian Peterson's single game record of 296 set in his rookie season in 2007 and joined Denver's Mike Anderson as the only backs with at least 250 yards rushing and four TDs in a single game.
"The way Doug is breaking tackles and having that top-end speed
to make people miss and outrun people to the end zone, it's exceptional," quarterback Josh Freeman said. "It's all about preparation with him. Doug doesn't get in the game and when the moment's not too big, he gets in the game, he knows what he's got to do."
Palmer threw for 414 yards and had three of his four touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

TREVOR GRAFF
tgraff@kansan.com
Kansas freshmen Ben McLemore and Perry Ellis led the way for the Jayhawks on a night filled with sluggish offense and phor perimeter shooting.
McLemore took the lead for the Jayhawks with a double-double. 17 points and 10 rebounds on 6-of-12 shooting; Perry Ellis scored 10 leading the Jayhawks pst players. The Jayhawks struggled from outside shooting 6-of-16 from three-point range.
McLemore finished the night with one out of four of the Jayhawks' rebounds. Self said he expects guards to grab rebounds when the defense is holding teams to low shooting percentages.
"We made some bad shots in the first half and then didn't make any shots," coach Bill Self said. "There's going to be some nights this year we don't play good. We can still win, If you defend and rebound."

"Coach stresses to crash the boards a lot," McLemore said. "I'm focused on boxing my man out and crashing the boards to help my team out. It's my job so that's what I have to do."
"Guys still don't know the most basic stuff that we do and that'll happen until Christmas," Self said. "That's the way it is."

or the ball, but picked up the slack for a Kansas team that started slowly. McLemore's run of three straight field goals provided a spark for the Jayhawks midway through the first half.
McLemore wasn't immune to poor offensive play, turning the ball over four times and shooting 3-of-7 from three-point range in his team-leading performance.
"He made shots in the first half, but you have to get aggressive," coach Bill Self said. "You have to shoot some free throws. Although he did shoot some free throws tonight, because I made him shoot the technical. I think he's going to be terrific, but he struggled when a guy got underneath and pressured him."
Athleticism was the key to McLemore's offensive performance. In a three-minute stretch from the 9:58 mark in the first half to the 7:33 mark. He scored seven straight points for the Jayhawks. The first of these came after a McLemore steal at the other end led to an easy layup assisted by Elijah Johnson. McLemore followed that play with a mid-range jumper and a three-pointer that put Kansas up 26 to 19 at the 7:33 mark.
"It was a great momentum push for us," freshman Perry Ellis said. "That's something we need, to get momentum. We really need to focus on when bad things are happening, getting back together."
McLemore played 38 minutes in the 62 to 50 victory. The second half was a bit slower for the freshman. McLemore scored four of his 17 in the second half and shot 0-for-2 from beyond threepoint range. He did improve at the free throw line making both of his attempts after missing three

in the first half.
McLemore wasn't the only newcomer leading the Jayhawks. Wichita freshman Perry Ellis finished with 10 points to lead Kansas post players. Ellis continued to play smart basketball after positioning himself perfectly on the left block for a put back layup at the 13:39 mark in the first half.
The Jayhawks frontcourt, lead by Ellis, struggled most of the night, out-rebounding Washburn by a count of just 40 to 39.
"We weren't executing as well as the first game," Ellis said. "We weren't pushing it as well as we were the first game. That's the main thing, we weren't pushing."
Self said he has a lot to work on in practice this week. He'll be focusing on teaching the young Kansas players to play more aggressively and take care of the basketball when the upperclassmen aren't at their best.
"Guys still don't know the most basic stuff that we do and that'll happen until Christmas," Self said. "That's just the way it is with most teams especially when you have so many young kids. That's as soft as a team can play tonight."

COMMENTARY
Withey starts season slow
W ithey starts slowly yet again Who cares where Waldo is? The question is: where's Withey?
By Geoffrey Calvert
gcalvert@kansan.com
Senior forward Jeff Withey, preseason honorable mention All-American, didn't score against Division II Washburn until a dunk with 15:14 left in the second half. Withey's first two points against Washburn should have come much sooner than five minutes into the second half.
After averaging nine points per game last year as the second scoring option in the post, Withey had to improve his offensive game to accommodate for the departure of Thomas Robinson's 17.7 points per game.
"He hasn't been a factor at all in our first two exhibition games until the last, I'd say 10 minutes or so," coach Bill Self said. "He caught the ball several times at two feet and not ready to score. That's on leff."
In fact, he more closely resembles the Jeff Withey of two years ago, who barely averaged six minutes per game.
batter, averaged 0.11 minutes per game.
The problem isn't necessarily Withey's lack of scoring. It's how he goes about not scoring that's a problem. When Withey received the ball in the post against Washburn, he almost always brought the ball down before going up with it instead of heading straight for the basket.
He has not done that.
Watching Ellis and Withey during the first half, one might guess Ellis was the senior and Withey the freshman. Perhaps the play that best summed up the gap between Ellis and Withey came when the Jayhawks led 26-19 in the first half. Withey received the ball in the low post and immediately brought it down and dribbed instead of looking to score. After picking up his dribble, he passed to Ellis who went up, drew the foul and made both free throws.
Ellis did quiet down in the second half, in part because the team played sloppily overall, and in part because Withey picked up some of the slack. But it shouldn't take a senior more than half of the game to get going when a freshman enters the game in the first half and impacts it right away.

You can't do that, not even against Washburn. The Ichabeds routinely stripped Withey of the ball. If he would have gone straight up with the ball against the much smaller Ichabeds, he probably could have gone to the free throw line.

Withey's struggles are actually magnified by the play of his freshman teammate, forward Perry Ellis. Once Ellis entered the game in the first half, the lajahawks' offensive dynamic changed. He looked more confident with the ball than Withey and displayed much better footwork, leading to easy baby hooks and short jumpers. Ellis even took a fast-break layup coast-to-coast, drawing a foul in the process.
Withey played only 26 minutes, so he had fewer opportunities to score. He didn't take advantage of them until the middle of the second half, when he converted an old-fashioned three-point play and then scored on a dunk a few minutes later. He followed that with a block and outlet pass to senior guard Travis Releford, who dunked and was fouled.
To be fair, he impacted the game defensively throughout. He blocked seven Washburn shots, continuing the record-setting "Withey Block Party" from last season's NCAA tournament run.
Withe finished with nine points and eight rebounds. He tied freshman Ben McLemore for the team lead in player efficiency rating. The issue is that 35 minutes of the game had already elapsed before Withe got hot offensively.
KANSAS 62 WASHBURN 50
LEADERSHIP LACKING
Seniors failed to demonstrate full potential in exhibition game
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
In its final outing before the record counts, the Kansas men's basketball team didn't look like a team that had already played in five exhibition contests since August.
Instead the Jayhawks played like they had never been on the court together, operating as five individuals playing his own game.
After riding a 13-5 run into half, the Jayhawks started the second half flat, turning the ball over nine times in the first 11:02 of the second half as the Jayhawks clawed their way to a 62 to 50 victory against the Washburn Ichabods.
"I think that it's too many people thinking too hard and they're not just playing." Senior guard Elijah Johnson said. "And with us thinking so hard and thinking about everything, making it so complex, I think that it's confusing each other, rather than just rolling in a rhythm and hopping on the same train."
"Ben struggled the whole night. Now here's a guy with multiple turnovers and no assists, and Elijah having him initiate offense," coach Bill Self said. "That's not what guards do. He's got to do a better job running our team."
There was no single culprit to the Jayhawk turnover mess, instead the whole team contributed to the poor performance, with the team's four leading scorers all turning the ball over four times each.
It started with the leadership at the top.
At the outset of the second half, the Jayhawks guns, Johnson, McLemore and
Johnson didn't take control of the offense, instead he let other players, such as freshman guard Ben McLemore, take the ball up the court and start the offense.
freshman forward Perry Ellis, went silent. After scoring 29 of the Jayhawks 36 first half points, they managed just 11 points in the second period.
Ellis said the Jayhawks need to work more as a team.
"We still need to learn how to get it back together," he said.
But the bigger culprit turned out to be the Jayhawks showing their youth by committing mistakes and turnovers. Mistakes they didn't show in their previous exhibition outing.
Despite being absent in the first half, where he recorded only one block and one rebound, Withey came to life after being benched, solidifying the defense with six blocks in the second half.
When the game got sloppy and physical, the Jayhawks turned to their big man down low, senior center Wife Withe, to fend off the feisty Ichabods.
Self said the team missed opportunities to take charges, jump for the ball and box out.
"You shouldn't have to take a guy out and sit him to get him mad to where he aggressive," Self said. "That's how he should be all the time, he should start the game that way."
"That's as soft as a team could play," Self said. "They beat us on everything."
The passive attitude started with Withey and the other seniors trickled down, causing the whole team to take on that mindset.
Self said he felt his seniors didn't do enough to carry the team when they needed to drag the struggling younger guys along.

Sims plays hard but can't carry team
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bshuster@kansan.com
Sims leads the Big 12 in rushing with 657 yards, is averaging five yards per carry, and has four touchdowns. That's after sitting out Kansas' first conference match up against Texas Christian University because of his suspension.
Yes, James Sims is the workhorse for the Jayhawks. He should inspire hope, Kansas can recruit top talent, but Sims alone will not bring the Jayhawks' their first conference win in 19 attempts this Saturday against Texas Tech University.
Junior running back James Sims is a model of what could be for the Kansas javhawks.
"Everything is just living oft James Sims," Weis said on the Monday teleconference call. "We're going to continue to lose because we need to score more points. Everyone else needs to play significantly better or things aren't going to go too well."
Yet, from the beginning of the season Weis talked about making the Jayhawks tougher in every aspect of the game. Even though it won't score as many points, one of the ways to teach that toughness is through running the ball.
Consider this: Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege has thrown 31 touchdowns this season on only eight interceptions, while Kansas has only scored 19 touchdowns total. Add in the Red Raiders run game and they double the
Meaning quarterback Michael Cummings' nine for 19 passing, 81-yards and two interceptions won't cut it. Nor will the defense giving up an average of 45 points on the road—compared to giving up an average of 20 points at home.
"The best players on our team are our running backs," Weis said. "It helps to start to establish an identity of being a tougher football team by being able to run the ball."
"The touchdown to interception ratio is astronomical," Weis said. "They've thrown more touchdowns than any other quarterback in this league and that's saying something."
Toughness is great, but the lavhawks need more points.
If that didn't make Kansas' life hard enough, Texas Tech also has a top 20 defense.
It's saying that based on how Kansas has performed on the road this year it could be a long day in Lubbock, Texas. Especially considering that putting together a 60-minute game is something the Jayhawks' have struggled with all year.
"Being competitive for a half just isn't good enough," Weis said. "You come out in the second half and basically do nothing on either side of the ball. It's obviously my responsibility, but we have to do a much better job on the road."
Jayhawks' scoring total.

About 50 students gathered in the lobby of the Kansas Union to watch as Barack Obama was announced the winner of the 2012 Presidential Election last night.
When Obama reached 270 electoral votes and Wolf Blitzer of CNN announced that he was re-elected.
cheers erupted from many of the students in attendance.
"I voted for president Obama," said David Gier, a sophomore from Overland Park. "It's looking like Democrats will have majority in Senate, so we'll see how he will be able to enact his agenda, but I'm hopeful. He accomplished a lot in his first term."

"I'd like to see more social changes,

Gier's friends, Chris Rice, a sophomore from Overland Park and Samantha Brunker, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., agreed.
Brunker said she would like to see Obama focus more on social issues in his second term.
"I'm really happy with how the results turned out," Rice said. "We sort of expected him to win. We did a lot of research and mapped it out."
"I'd like to see more social changes, especially for abortion rights and birth control," she said. "But I think
it will be tough with the Congress."
As state results were announced throughout the night, attendees let out cheers or booed the screen. Swing states like Iowa and Ohio elicited the most reactions, as did California, which gave Obama 55 electoral votes.
Students stood up and applauded when Ohio went to Obama at about 10:20 p.m.

When it was announced that Obama was projected to win the state and its 20 electoral votes, it brought him to 274 electoral votes with Romney trailing at 201.
A few watch party attendees, like Hannah Boyd, a freshman from Derby, shook their heads in exasperation and left worried.
"I feel a little nervous. I'm not sure what Obama's agenda is for the next four years," Boyd said. "I'm not sure what our country will be like in the next four years. I'm anxious to see what he has planned."

Boyd said she does not affiliate with a political party, but she supported Romney because she believes he would be better for the country economically.

CAMPUS
Senate initiatives includes safety, Spanish minor
NIKKI WENTLING
nwentling@kansan.com
As Student Senate continues into its third wave of platform initiatives, here is a look at what has happened so far this semester and what is happening with programs that have already been established.
SPANISH MINOR
The full Senate passed a resolution at the beginning of October in support of the creation of a Spanish minor with a vote of 68-3-0. Senate submitted the resolution to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little on Oct. 5, and the Spanish and Portuguese department is currently working on a proposal that will be forwarded to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences by the end of November.
"It has to go through a lot of different steps, but the first step has to be the Spanish department sending that proposal through," said Hannah Bolton, student body president. "We've done everything we can on the student side."
Bolton said that if plans to implement a Spanish minor were approved, the minor program
would most likely be put into effect the next school year.
Bolton and student body vice president Brandon Woodard spent the summer semester doing research and speaking with professors in the department, as well as Stuart Day, chair of the department, and Danny Anderson, Dean of CLAS.
"KU always emphasizes how strong our academics are, and we make a name for ourselves in being a leader in many areas," Bolton said. "The Spanish minor was one of those things that we need to get up to speed on."
The University is the only school in the Big 12 and the Kansas Board of Regents that does not offer a Spanish minor.

STUDENT BODY ADDRESS
This was an idea Woodard brought up when he served as Senate outreach director last year, and it is part of a focus to create more video content for student engagement with Senate.
During homecoming week, Bolton gave the first-ever student body address.

Joyce said he hopes the student body address will become an annual tradition.
"I'd love to see it continue with more people from year to year to year," Joyce said. "I'll tell the next outreach director that this is something to keep on the radar."
In the address, Bolton discussed several senate initiatives that are underway, including the construction of cell phone charging stations, the Responsible Refreshments initiative and Recycle and Blue KU.
'RESPONSIBLE REFRESH-
MENTS'
This week, several local bars and restaurants will receive plastic wristbands inscribed with the Student Senate and Responsible Refreshments logos.
Bar-goers who identify themselves as designated drivers will be given these wristbands, which are tickets to receive free food, nonalcoholic beverages and/or cover from the venue.
The initiative is a result of a partnership between Senate, the Jayhawk Buddy System and the participating venues throughout Lawrence.
Woodard said a lot of the most-frequented bars in town are part of the initiative. Participating venues include: the Hawk, the Wheel, Tonic, the Ranch, the Yacht Club, Johnny's Tavern, Louise's West, the Cave and Tapas.

"We wanted to make sure we provided some resource besides Saferide and Safebus." Bolton said. "Those are obviously key resources for safety on campus, but this gives students another route, too."
ELECTION
Two forms of ID needed for some students at polls
CAITLIN DOORNBAS
cdoornbas@kansan.com
For some students, it may be easier to get into a bar underage than it was to vote on Election Day.
After Kansas joined the 33 states in the nation to pass voter ID laws, senior Vanessa Phillips, from Wichita, remembered her driver's license when she showed up to the polls. But when she tried to get her ballot, she was told she didn't look enough like her picture. To prove her identity, Phillips provided a second form of identification.
"I was just so frustrated. I threw down my KU student ID and asked, 'Is this enough?' she said.
There were 221 incidents of voter fraud reported in Kansas from 1997 to 2010, and voter IDs are strictly regulated.
Brittany Bezler, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., had a similar problem. A poll worker scrutinized her ID for several minutes until giving Bezler her ballot, but after she cast her vote, the poll worker asked to look at her ID once more.
It is illegal to intentionally vote under a false identification. The 2011 Kansas voting law, which requires registered voters to show photographic identification, aims to combat voter fraud. Critics of the law claim it disenfranchises certain groups of voters. Attorney Rich Benson, who helped address reports of possible voter suppression on Election Day, said young voters are likely to be hurt by the law.
"It made me feel like a criminal. Everyone else passed right through the line, and I was held up," said Bezler. "I'm 20 years old. Why would I lie to vote?"
油
Even though she was inconvenienced, Bezler said she is still glad she got the chance to vote.
"It was my first presidential election," she said. "Nothing can take that feeling away."

Strong, early voter turnout in Kansas
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Secretary of State Kris Kobach toured polling locations in Wyndotte and Johnson counties Tuesday morning and said poll workers were reporting a strong turnout. Kobach had predicted that 68 percent of eligible voters would weigh in, but he said Tuesday that his estimate may have been too low. He said a polling site in Lenexa had a long line before the polls opened at 7 a.m., but voters managed to get in and out in less than 30 minutes.
President Barack Obama had a relatively strong showing in Kansas in 2008, grabbing nearly 42 percent of the vote. But there were signs early Tuesday that any momentum
TOPEKA, Kan. — Voter turnout early Tuesday in Republican-leaning Kansas seemed heavier than expected, as Democrats scrambled to staunch the GOP-dominated Legislature's push to the right and allies of conservative Gov. Sam Brownback sought to shore up their gains.
With no U.S. Senate race this year and Republicans expected to comfortably win re-election to all four of the state's U.S. House seats, the most closely watched races as voters filed into polling stations Tuesday were for the Legislature. Republican Mitt Romney was expected to carry the state in the presidential race, as every GOP nominee has done since 1964.
"We'll see if it turns out to be just heavy voting in the morning. I think there is just a lot of interest in this election," Kobach said.
"I go back to health care reform no matter which party you have, you have to have health care reform." Moore said.
"I'm just ready for a change," said Jim Clark, a 42-year-old computer administrator from Topeka. He's a registered Republican who voted for Obama last time, seeking change, but voted for Romney this year. Clark lost a full-time job two years ago and has worked temporary assignments since then.
"It's tougher for me, personally," Clark said. "The economy has not improved."
Marianne Moore, a 47-year-old human resources director at a Wichita long-term care facility, said she voted only for Obama and other Democrats and skipped races where Republicans were running unopposed. She also said that through her job, she encounters a lot of people without health insurance, and she believes Obama's health care overhaul will help fix this.
Kansas elections officials had been expecting about 1.2 million registered voters to cast ballots on Tuesday. More than 330,000 people voted early, either by mail or in person at election offices.
Legislative races were intense because Democrats have worked with moderate Republicans leading the Senate to stall some of Brownback's agenda, even though the GOP had majorities of 32-8 in the Senate and 92-33 in the House.
the president had created for state Democrats was fading.

A supporter of Alejandro Garcia Padilla, candidate for governor of the pro-commonwealth Popular Democratic Party, cheers during his closing campaign rally in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Sunday.
Puerto Rico decides its fate
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Puerto Ricans were facing a fundamental question on Election Day: Should they change their ties with the United States?
Citizens in the U.S. island territory cannot vote in the U.S. presidential election, but many were excited to participate in a referendum that could push the territory toward statehood, greater autonomy or independence.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Car horns blared and party flags waved as voters headed to polling stations, many carrying umbrellas against the blistering tropical sun as temperatures neared 90 degrees Fahrenheit (31 degrees centigrade).
Puerto Rico's 114-year relationship with the United States. A second question gives voters three alternatives if they do want a change: become the 51st U.S. state, independence, or "sovereign free association," a designation that would give more autonomy for the territory of 4 million people.
"Puerto Rico has to be a state. There is no other option," said 25-year-old Jerome Lefebre, who picked up his grandfather before driving to the polls. "We're doing OK, but we could do better. We would receive more benefits, a lot more financial help."
But 42-year old Ramon Lopez de Azua said he favors the current system, which grants U.S. citizenship but prevents Puerto Ricans from voting for president unless they live
in the United States, and gives those on the island only limited representation in Congress.
"Puerto Rico's problem is not its political status," he said. "I think that the United States is the best country in the world, but I am Puerto Rican first."
Both President Barack Obama and rival Mitt Romney have said they supported the referendum, with Obama pledging to respect the will of the people if there is a clear majority. Any change would require approval by the U.S. Congress.
Pro-statehooders say Puerto Rico would benefit from becoming a state because it would receive an additional $20 billion a year in federal funds to boost the local economy and combat crime.

Reserve Bank Governor Gill Marcus made the first purchase using the new rand notes at a small shop in Pretoria on Tuesday. She says the country tries to upgrade its notes every seven years for security reasons as technologies change.
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND
— The spade-toothed beaked whale is so rare that nobody has seen one alive, but scientists have proof the species still exists.
It was almost a missed opportunity, however, since conservation workers misidentified the carcasses as a much more common type of whale and buried them.
Two skeletons were identified as belonging to the species after a 17-foot whale and her calf beached themselves in New Zealand in 2010. Scientists hope the discovery will provide insights into the species and into ocean ecosystems.
The new 10,20,50,100 and 200 rand banknotes feature Mandela's image on one side and the other side maintains the Big Five animals already on the bills.
Further tests confirmed the discovery. Constantine said they then retested about 160 samples taken from other stranded Gray's whales but didn't find any more that had been misidentified.
"Kirsten and I went quiet. We were pretty stunned," she said.
This year, researchers returned to the beach to exhume the skeletons.
In a paper published Tuesday in the journal "Current Biology," researchers from New Zealand and the United States say of their discovery: "For the first time we have a description of the world's rarest and perhaps most enigmatic marine mammal."
the beached whales, an adult and her 11-foot male calf, were discovered on Opape Beach on the
Previously only three skull fragments of the species had been found: in New Zealand in 1872 and in the 1950s and the last one 26 years ago on an island off the coast of Chile. The males have broad blade-like tusk teeth that give the species its name. Both males and females have beaks which make them resemble dolphins.
Anton van Helden, who manages the marine mammals collection for New Zealand's national museum Te Papa, said it wasn't a straightforward task to find the
"This is pretty fantastic," said Ewan Fordyce, a geology professor at the University of Otago who specializes in the evolution of whales but who was not involved in the research. "There would be few, if any, mammalian species in the world that would be rarer. And we know much more about panda bears and other iconic, rare animals."
Those samples ended up at the University of Auckland where scientists did routine tests about six months later. Rochelle Constantine, a co-author of the paper, said she and her colleague Kirsten Thompson couldn't believe it when the results showed the pair to be the rarest of whales.
Marcus said Mandela was shown the new banknotes and that he was delighted.

remains after so long and that the mother's skull, which was buried shallower than the rest of the remains, washed out to sea. But they were able to recover the rest of the skeletons.
Fordyce said it may be possible to use the skeletons of the rare whales to reconstruct their muscles and tissues and to find out more about how they live and die and why they are so reclusive.
He said it's impossible to know why the whales came ashore although whales often beach themselves when they become ill. He said almost nothing is known about the species except they live in the South Pacific Ocean and eat primarily squid.
North Island on New Year's Eve in 2010. Conservation workers thought they were Gray's beaked whales and took tissue samples before burying them about nine feet under the sand.
"It's a hugely significant find," said van Helden, a co-author of the paper.
The scientists say the discovery could also provide broader insights into the ocean's complex ecosystems.

'Ralph'a must see
ALEX LAMB
alamb@kansan.com
By Alex Lamb
alamb@kansan.com
Remember that feeling the original "Toy Story" evoked? It gave children a look inside a world they'd always imagined, made even more exciting by all the recognizable real toys it featured. Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" provides a similar experience, except with what kids move on to after their toys: video games.
After 30 years wrecking buildings while the hero of his game, Fix-It Felix Jr. (Jack McBrayer), repairs them and saves the day, Ralph is tired of being an outcast of society and wants to play the hero for once. So he breaks game world rules and jumps into an alien first-person shooter to acquire a winner's medal.
But his clumsiness winds up
Behind the glass screens of arcade machines, the game characters have lives of their own. "Wreck-It Ralph" opens with the title character (voiced by John C. Reilly) at a meeting of Bad Guys Anonymous, with the likes of a "Pac-Man" ghost, Dr. Eggman, Bowser and other various villains.
landing him in a "Mario Kart"-like game where he must help a little girl (Sarah Silverman) become a racer in order to reclaim his medal. All the while, Felix and the FPS leader (Jane Lynch) must track him down before Ralph's absence ends his own game.
Much of the fun in "Wreck-It Ralph" comes from the fully realized world of the movie, which is full of references and characters from all over the video game realm. The send-ups of gaming culture start on a wider scale at first, ranging everywhere from "Q*bert" to "Street Fighter" to "Root Beer Tapper." Then the subtextual jokes focus in more on specific aspects of gaming as the story progresses, like characters not moving fluidly, glitches and the programming code of a game.
The first half is more entertaining for this reason, particularly for those who recognize all the references to other games. But the second half makes up for the lack of game-jumping with a surprising emotional core as Reilly and Silverman comically play off each other and even bring a few tears to the eye.
The inspired sense of creativity throughout stands out above all else. Director Rich Moore has a nostalgic reverence for the beloved characters featured and for the tropes of video games, and it shows in the cleverly hilarious humor. Several subtly-implemented twists especially elevate the final act and tie everything together in a very satisfying manner.
For any video game fan, this is a must see. But "Wreck-It Ralph" at its heart is a story about two outsiders searching for acceptance. So even for all non-gamers, this still holds up as one of Disney's more unique animated films, absolutely worth playing.

Connery as the unflappable lady-killer with a license to kill, dispatched to the Caribbean to stop a madman from disrupting U.S. missile launches was enough of a success that another Bond movie, "From Russia With Love," followed.
Next James Bond movie opens in theaters Friday
On Friday, "Skyfall," the 23rd 007 enterprise, with Daniel Craig in his third turn as the British intelligence operative, opens in theaters the 50th anniversary of the formidable franchise. To date, the Bond movies have earned more than $5 billion in worldwide box office.
PHILADELPHIA — "I wish I had had James Bond on my staff," John F. Kennedy is quoted as saying in the midst of the Cuban missile crisis, when war with Russia looked imminent. "Dr. No," the first of the 007 movies based on Ian Fleming's spy books, had just opened October 1962 in theaters in the United Kingdom.
"Dr. No" released the following May in the United States, and starring Sean

"lan Fleming created an amazing character," says Craig, who has followed in the footsteps and the tailored suits of Connery, George Lazenby (an Aussie, and the forgotted Bond, appearing only in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"), Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan. "There's this internal conflict in the way Fleming wrote Bond," Craig said in an interview.

RELATIONSHIPS
I've tweeted nearly 11,000 times because I've had twitter for four years. Don't assume we all hoped on the bandwagon yesterday.
Politics don't make or break couples
Even though there has generally always been a clear political divide throughout the course of American politics, the current high-stakes economy has exacerbated the differences between the political parties and makes bipartisanship look like a breakup gone horribly awry. And with ballots having been cast yesterday, the politics of some relationships here at the University have sometimes been difficult to ignore.
Even halfway across the country from Washington, some students on our own campus believe politics can make a difference in dating, myself included. Just a few years ago when a guy I liked made an anti-gay comment in front of a group of people, the phrase "That's a dealbreaker, ladies" suddenly flashed across my mind.
To the girls who dress adorable and cute everyday... How? Honestly, it is a miracle that I even remembered pants this morning.
I vetoed any chances of dating him because he doesn't support equal LGBQT rights. I figured that
said enough about him that I needed to hear, and the degree to which I considered him "likable" plummeted. I was so turned off by his conservatism, and I rarely saw him again.
My memory of that instance and my own politics made me ask this election cycle how much pull politics have when it comes to the politics of dating. So with that I went searching for the answer in the one place on campus that no matter what would be filled to capacity at any given time; the Underground at Wescoe.
According to my survey of University students late last month, 60 Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike can finally agree on one thing: that politics don't at all or at least don't necessarily derail a new relationship before it starts. The results were surprisingly bipartisan with only five students answering that politics do make a difference in dating.

surveyed said that political affiliation isn't necessarily a deal breaker, students should meanwhile be sure not to undermine what the way someone votes says about that person. A vote is not just a matter of filling in bubbles on a ballot. Rather, it's a reflection of who we are as thinkers.
And though only a single-digit percent of students surveyed said that politics are definitely a dealbreaker, as it turns out, senior Tanya Martinez is one of them.
"I do have friends who think completely different than I do," Martinez said. "I use political affiliation to determine who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. If he's joining me in my shouting matches at Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, then that's real love."
The Arabic and Islamic studies major said, "Political affiliation is a huge deal breaker for me because I am a very outspoken person when it comes to politics. It's usually one of the first things I bring up in conversation." Martinez went on to say that she cares about having a choice when it comes to women's sexual health, unequal pay, and taxes.
Martinez, currently engaged, also said politics played a role in choosing her fiance. She said, "I remember when I barely met him, I mentioned something very political that was important to me, and he agreed with me. From there I started asking more questions and realized how similar we were ideologically. I saw that we thought alike, so I knew we were meant to be."
She finally concluded that she thinks students at the University should understand that despite her refusal to date a Republican, politics are not the center of her universe.
And when it comes to dating, political affiliation is more than just a "shiny object." It represents what we value and what kind of outlook we have on life in general.
Finally, while most students
So maybe we shouldn't necessarily think that political affiliation is an end-all, be-all dealbreaker, but it should at least be taken into consideration when we start dating someone new. And regardless of whether it's an election year or not, we all need to choose our leaders — and our partners — wisely.

POLITICS
Ready for the election to end
Even though Kansas is a traditionally red state, residents weren't free from some of the commotion election season caused. I'm all for being loud and proud about politics; however, since the early primary season until now, I've become just plain tired of hearing about politics. And really, I think sometimes we all need some things to look forward to.
By Angela Hawkins ahawkins@kansan.com
So after the polling places closed last night and news outlets announced the president for 2013 to 2017, there are a few things everyone can go back to enjoying.
The first, and my favorite, is the return of news coverage on actual issues. No offense to Big Bird and binders full of women or complacent Obama and his running mate, boisterous Biden, but I like hearing more about things that don't involve speech technicalities, strategies, body languages or political gaffes. Why not explain what's going on with the Pakistani girl who was shot for standing up for her education? Why not look at the impending cliff when we reach the debt ceiling again? Even Hurricane Sandy was spun to include Obama and Romney. Things that moved to the back burner during the election can return. Finally.
Media outlets weren't the only ones flooding Kansans with political noise. Checking Facebook and Twitter was almost unbearable. Don't get me wrong, politically inclined friends are good friends to have. The downside to that was wading through the political mumbo-jumbo they post. What used to be a nice study break had become a source of frustration. Won't it be nice to return to a friendly Facebook? I can't wait to see what it'll look like without political memes or party bashing. Even with timeline, those days are hard to remember.
and you're talking about current events or "Saturday Night Live" and you're really careful because you don't know which side you can joke about without offending them? Yeah, that can be avoided for a few years.
You know what else we can look forward to? Clean yards. In the next few days, or weeks, people will start to remove the lawn signs supporting different politicians. The local candidates seemed to pepper just about every neighborhood, particularly in small towns. With the beautiful landscapes and a pretty fall this season, it'll be nice to see them in their natural state instead of corrupted by a slew of politicians.
And finally, we can avoid that awkward side-stepping of political conversation. Before you know some friends' political opinions
Ah, the peace.
Then again, election season offered a variety of good entertainment. If you watched SNL
But really, I'm the most thankful for simply being able to say that I voted. Today, when Americans can expect their normal TV programming instead of a debate, we can be thankful that we have the opportunity to do that. And if we didn't get the president we want this time around, we have about three years of peace to stew it over before the process begins again.

NIGHT LIFE
Boom Boom Room photo causes a stir
Last week, one of Lawrence's most beloved bars was the scene of widespread controversy. Long story short, two people were caught in the middle of something that some people unfortunately choose to engage in while drunk and riled up on the dance floor. If you don't know what I'm talking about, use your imagination.
It's not just any dance floor, though. It's the Boom Boom Room at the Javawk Café.
Now that we've had a week to mull everything over, there still a discussion to be had about the controversy and its sticky-floored, dimly-lit setting.
If you haven't heard, both parties handled it in completely different ways and are going to continue to deal with the consequences for quite some time. For most people, though, it's old news already.
Once the lion's share of campus got wind of it, everyone took to Twitter and other forms of social media to crack jokes and pass judgment on the involved parties. Everyone from the girl in your COMS class to @FakeJeffWithey and Afentra of 96.5 The Buzz stuck their nose in and offered their takes, which generally consisted of wise-cracks and various ways of shaming those involved.
I couldn't help myself and offered my own jokes too, but I never called anyone a "slut" or "whore". Though a strong argument could be made for the use of those words, they're completely unnecessary.
Why? Because this all happened in the Boom Boom Room.
If you're one of the people who's lived in Lawrence for years without losing your Boom Boom Room virginity, you're probably more wholesome and morally sound than the lot of us. Anyone who has been past that huge metal door into the steamy, sticky basement of 1340 Ohio St. knows that the controversy that unfolded is nothing new - someone just got a picture of it.
The Boom Boom Room is essentially a small room that serves as a promiscuous, hedonistic getaway from the morally and politically correct real world. The drinks are cheap, the music is loud and the inhibitions are low. Lawrence's drunken patrons take to the dance floor and seemingly lose control of their hands, subsequently leading to
By AJ Barbosa
abarbosa@kansan.com
some sexually explicit behavior in public. The lights are low, though, but if you take a good look around as the strobe lights flicker on, you'll see what I'm talking about.
You can't help but feel kind of sorry for the involved parties because they were just the first to get caught on camera while doing what people have been rumored to have done in the Boom Boom Room for years. I'd argue that these types of incidents aren't common, per se, but they certainly aren't unheard of.
The public ridicule may have been both justified and over-the-line at times, but what people have failed to grasp is that this isn't anything groundbreaking. Consensual debauchery is the name of the game in that basement, and it's something that has its place in a college town. It's your choice whether or not you participate, but there's no sense in hammering away at those who opt to make their own bad decisions there.
Sure, it's ridiculous and a lot of people think it's disgusting. They're not wrong, but at the same time, they aren't the key demographic for such a room. Had this incident taken place on campus in broad daylight, it would have been dramatically worse. It didn't, though - it happened in the Boom Boom Room. If I was given the scenario and you asked me to take a stab at where it went down, that's the first place I'd guess.

STATE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — An incumbent Democratic State Board of Education member on Tuesday defeated a Republican challenger with ties to an anti-gay Topeka church notorious for picketing military members' funerals.
According to unofficial results, Carolyn Campbell of Topeka defeated Jack Wu, a Topeka computer programmer who made opposition to teaching evolution the cornerstone of his campaign in the 4th District in northeast Kansas. Wu described evolution as "Satanic lies" and said on a website that public schools were preparing students to be "liars, crooks, thieves, murderers, and pervers."
Campbell campaigned aggressively, saying throughout that she took nothing for granted. Messages left for Campbell weren't immediately returned Tuesday night.
Wu also raised eyebrows by saying that he was lured to Kansas from California in 2008 by Westboro Baptist. The Topeka
church, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps Sr., is known internationally for picketing with anti-gay slogans and proclaiming that American soldiers' deaths are God's pun-
sources certain ishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality. Wu is not formally a member, but he's attended services regularly.
Republicans, including Gov. Sam Brownback.
Campbell, a former Topeka school board member, was elected to her second, four-year term on the state board.
She acknowledged that she was worried some voters in GOP-
disavowed Wu in June, and Democrats worked to make sure voters knew about his identification with Westboro Baptist. Wu said he didn't have the campaign resources to counter Campbell's ads making an issue of his ties to the church.
"I don't see where that has anything to do with public education. It is what it is," he said.
leaning Kansas would simply follow Wu's party affiliation.
"I hope that everyone else understood the actual candidates."

voting a straight ticket.
A coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans was firmly in the majority.
Much of the board's work
in setting education policy has been overshadowed since the late 1990s by debates about how evolution should be taught and the resulting national attention and ridicule.
The state had five sets of standards in eight years starting in 1999, as evolution skeptics gained and lost state board majorities in elections.
The current, evolution-friendly standards were adopted by the board in 2007, but state law requires them to be updated.
Kansas is working with 25 other states and the National Research Council on proposed science standards, and Kansas officials expect the state board to consider adopting them early next year.
In the 2nd District in the Kansas City area, Steve Roberts, an overland Park Republican and professional math tutor, defeated former state Rep. Cindy Neighbor of Shawnee.
Both favored evolution-friendly science standards.

Obama promises prosperity
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama rolled to re-election Tuesday night, vanquishing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney despite a weak economy that plagued his first term and put a crimp in the middle class dreams of millions.
In victory, he confidently promised better days ahead.
Obama spoke to thousands of cheering supporters in his hometown of Chicago, praising Romney and declaring his optimism for the next four years. "While our road has been hard, though our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come," he said.
Romney made his own graceful concession speech before a
disappointed crowd in Boston. He summoned all Americans to pray for Obama and urged the night's political winners to put partisan bickering aside and "reach across the aisle" to tackle the nation's problems.
Still, after the costliest — and one of the nastiest — campaigns in history, divided government was alive and well.
Democrats retained control of the Senate with surprising ease.
Republicans did the same in the House, ensuring that Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, Obama's partner in unsuccessful deficit talks, would reclaim at the bargaining table.

Sporting KC looks to keep postseason hopes alive against Houston
Sporting Kansas City was picked by many to win the Major League Soccer Cup as it entered the playoffs as the best team in the Eastern Conference. After losing 2-0 at Houston on Sunday, Sporting KC must overturn that deficit in tonight's game if the team wants to continue its post-season run.
By Andrew Morris amorris@kansan.com
Sporting KC went into the playoffs with the best defense in the league but has struggled to score all season, averaging just 1.2 goals per game. This is a strange statistic considering the team takes pride in its attacking 4-3-3 formation.
Houston will likely sit back and defend tonight, which is nothing new to Kansas City. Most teams this year have come to Livestrong Sporting Park with the defensive mentality to shut down the dangerous Sporting attack. This is one of the biggest reasons this season's team has had a difficult time scoring.
Kei Kamara is the team's leading scorer with 11 goals and eight assists this season, but the key to the Sporting KC attack is
statistical categories, and goalie Jimmie Nielson led the MLS with 15 shutouts this season. The team's defensive record may be Sporting KCs biggest advantage in the effort to turn over this 2-0 deficit.
ion
mutteter Graham Zusi. Zusi has made an amazing 15 assists from his attacking midfield role in addition to five goals this season. He has been the team's best player all season and will need to create scoring opportunities if Sporting KC is to avoid being knocked out of the playoffs by Houston for the second straight season.
A huge reason Sporting KC is able to control games and keep opponents off the scoreboard lies with the domination of the midfield. Zusi may get most of the credit for this, but Roger Espinoza and Julio Cesar make it all possible. The two midfielders can run all day and often are the ones who stop any attack by the opposition. Espinoza and Cesar help players move up the field because these two are always behind to break up any opponent's attack. Both players will be expected to control the opposition counterattacks while the rest of the Sporting KC team looks for the two goals it needs.
Despite being considered one of the more attractive teams to watch in the league, Kansas City doesn't ignore the dirty work. Sporting KC is near the top in all defensive
Despite struggling in the first match of the playoffs, a return home to Livestrong Sporting Park (LSP) will surely lift the team. Widely considered one of the best soccer-specific stadiums in the country, LSP also boasts one of the best atmospheres in Major
League Soccer. This is a huge advantage for the team, which will use the noise to apply pressure on the Houston defense.
In throughout the history of the MLS playoffs, teams have overturned first-leg deficits to move on. Tonight, Sporting KC faces a good team, but the KC players know they have the talent and pedigree to overturn the deficit. An early goal will really make the team believe a win is possible; this makes the first 20 minutes the most important part of the game.
If Sporting KC is able to grab the early goal, then the team will be confident about overturning the deficit. Houston, on the other hand, has experienced players who know how to win big games and will make things very difficult for Sporting KC. This match is going to be a challenge for Kansas City, but if the team plays its best game, then it should be able to overcome the woeful first leg that got it in this 2-0 hole.

The Jayhawks take on Southeast Missouri State on Friday GAME DAY
Goodrich only played 25 minutes in Kansas' 88-43 dismantling of Fort Hays State, but in those minutes, she gave an exhibition as to why she was voted onto the preseason All-Big 12 team.
Any one of the 1,926 fans in attendance at Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday knows why, too.
Every player wearing crimson and blue any given evening is better because Goodrich is their point guard.
Edited by Christy Khamphilay
That's why she will be the most dominant player to don a Kansas.basketball uniform this season.
She scored 19 points, had six assists and four steals against Fort Hays State, which is remarkable in itself. But actually watching how she got those numbers is far more remarkable than simply looking at them.
There were multiple times when Goodrich would slice through the lane, beating her defender and making a tricky layup from an awkward angle. Then Goodrich would steal the ball from the Fort Hays State point'guard as she tried to take it up the court and pass it to her teammate for another two points.
Not only is Goodrich one of the best point guards in this conference, but she's one of the best in the nation. That's not something to take lightly.
Her defense, scoring and passing make her nearly impossible to stop, and the Jayhawks look primed for another successful season.
COMMENTARY
Still, regardless of her opponent, Goodrich was good. Really good. And that's all you can ask from a team's best player.
Goodrich controlled the entire game for Kansas as it absolutely dismantled a team that was simply ill-equipped to handle them. Literally, as the Tigers starting point guard had to sit out because of an injury.
Goodrich the player to watch

The most dominant player for Kansas basketball this season will be its point guard. No, it won't be Elijah Johnson. Or Naadir Tharpe. Or Anrio Adams.

In one play, Goodrich caught a high pass on the perimeter and before her feet came back to earth, she passed the ball inside to forward Tania Jackson for an easy layup.
It will be Angel Goodrich, the budding star of the women's basketball team.
Basketball poster reprints
Goodrich was all over the floor Sunday afternoon against a Fort Hays State team that only lost to Kansas State by 11, too. It was an impressive stand for an impressive Kansas team.
Yes, there's a reason this basketball team is ranked No. 22 in the country, and Goodrich is an integral part of it.

Coach Charlie Weis focuses on the Jayhawks' second half performance

At three of its conference games on the road this season, Kansas only mustered nine points in the second half. The Jayhawks have just scored a touchdown and a field goal.
When Kansas visited Kansas State, Oklahoma and Baylor, it allowed 70 points combined in the second half. With two road games remaining in the season, including this Saturday's match against Texas Tech, Weis added a new goal for the team — to come out of the locker room and produce better in the second half.
"We all need to do a better job when we're on the road and in the last three games, that's not the

and then hold a team meeting afterward before playing Texas Tech the next morning.
As the Jayhawks prepare for the Red Raiders, Weis will approach this road game differently. He wants the team to get on the bus and arrive in Lubbock, Texas sooner than they had planned. The players will have a run-through at Jones AT&T Stadium the day before the game,
"There are things that I don't normally do that I'm doing this week, because I'm never going to stay status quo if it's not working." Weis said. "I'm going to try something else."
way it's gone," Weis said. "I'm very annoyed how last week went. It would be nice if we played good for a whole game on the road."
As a senior and one of the captains on the team, offensive tackle Tanner Hawkinson works on keeping the team in uniform and making sure his teammates come out of halftime with the same mindset used at the start of the game to finish strongly.
ing. I think we've just got to keep that up throughout the second half and just not let off the pedal at all."
Weis said the second half road mishaps are not only on the players, but the coaches as well. He's told the team all season that it needs to execute better in the second half.
"I think we have to just keep the intensity up," Hawkinson said. "You're coming out of the first half and you've got a lot of juices flow-
Running back coach Reggie Mitchell said that Weis has put together a different game plan for the players.
"We played four quarters against Texas," Mitchell said. "It's just something we're going to build on. We are a new program and it's going to take some time. That is something that coach Weis is constantly talking to the guys about,
being able to finish a game."
Kansas impressed many spectators with its ability to play four competitive quarters at home. In the three home conference games the Jayhawks hosted, they've inched closer in the final score and feel they can compete with anyone in the Big 12.
"We need to capitalize on some of the opportunities that we have," tight end Jimmay Mundine said. "You can't have two people to their job and one person not to his job because the end result won't be good. When everyone finally puts it together, we'll be all right."

Outside hitter hopes for hometown victory

"Anytime in any sport ever, it could be the swimming and diving team, anybody in K-State beats us in anything, I'll get texts, my phone will blow up," Carmichael said. "I can still be friends with them, but when it comes to rivalries like that we definitely have a divide."

Carmichael grew up in Manhattan and said she loves the town, but she never felt like Kansas State was the college for her. She didn't have any ties to Lawrence before visiting, but her family is slowly warming to the Jayhawks.

However, it's a slow process, especially for her stepdad. He is from Manhattan and graduated from Kansas State as a diehard
"He was like, 'I guess I'm going to have to figure out how to wear blue without getting hives," Carmichael said. "I never thought I'd see my stepdad wear a KU t-shirt, but we've worked him into it gradually. So now I think when he comes to the game he'll wear a KU t-shirt, I hope."
Junior setter Erin McNorton also contends with a divided family. Her dad played football at Kansas State and her uncle and grandparents are Wildcat fans, but her uncle played at Kansas.
plied to Kansas State to humor her dad, but she said she never seriously entertained becoming a Wildcat.
McNorton said her dad will wear Jayhawk gear to support her and enjoys the rivalry, but her cousin absolutely hates that she plays for Kansas.
He did manage to show a little bit of a soft side for Kansas when the teams met for the first time this season on Oct.17.
"It kills my cousin to wear anything KU." McNorton said. "She hates being in here. She likes watching the games. But being on campus and stuff, she hates it."
Just like Carmichael's stepdad, McNorton's father still supports his Wildcat roots. McNorton ap-
Carmichael hopes Kansas can fulfill Mr. McNorton's wish, because it would give her a chance to gloat to her friends about Kansas sweeping the Wildcats, something it hasn't done since 2009. She said the Kansas State matches are her favorite matches of the season.
"He sent me a text last time and said, "You'll hear this only three more times but I hope that Jaya-hawks kill 'the Wildcats,'" Mc-Norton said.

"Hopefully we can create some good offensive balance, and obviously (Tayler) Tolefree and (Caroline) Jarmoc are going to get their share," Bechard said. "But Dock (Tiana Dockery), (Chelsea) Albers, Carmichael and (Sara) McClinton need to be productive, too."

TECHNOLOGY TAKES PRIORITY
Youth marked by expanding social values and departure from religion
RACHEL SALYER rsalyer@kansan.com
With cell phones as bedmates and college a necessity, the millennial generation is fast setting itself apart from parents and grandparents.
The millennial generation, or those born after 1980, has the highest amount of education, with 54 percent having some college education, according to a 2010 Pew Research Center study. The study examined millennials age 18 to 29.
With 83 percent of millennials reporting they have slept with their cell phone at some point compared to 46 percent of all other generations, it's obvious technology helps define the generation.
SOURCE: PEW RESEARCH CENTER
"My phone is always by my side," said Allegra Baxter, Olathe junior. "I use it for weather, communication. Everything. I think I definitely use it differently than my parents do."
The millennial generation looks different than previous ones, with 61 percent identifying as white, compared to 70 percent of those 30 or older. Those identifying as black increased from 11 to 14 percent, with Hispanics increasing the most from 13 to 19 percent and Asians remaining at five percent.
But the priorities of millennials are not much different from those who came before, with parenting and a successful
marriage being the two most important life priorities. Of those 29 and younger, 52 percent listed being a good parent and 30 percent listed a successful marriage, compared to 30 percent and 35 percent, respectively, of those 30 and older.
For students like Chris Dill, a freshman from Austin, Texas, the priorities seem a little out of whack.
"Success, having a good job. those are most important to me," Dill said. According to the study, a high-paying job and religion were some of the least important priorities, each weighing in at 15 percent.
But compared to those 30 and older, the success and religion set the generations apart, with 21 percent of the older generation prioritizing religion and only 7 percent saying success is a priority.
Chris Crandall, a University sociology professor, said the varying importance of priorities between generations all comes back to age.
GRAPHIC BY KATIE KUTSKO
"There is the fact that the 30 plus people are simply older." Crandall said in an email. "Marriage matters more to a 35-year-old than to an 18-year-old. And so, I think a simple way to interpret the data is that millenials are mostly like other Americans, but that they are less concerned about leading a religious life."

From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. this Saturday, students have the opportunity to make a difference in the community.
The University will host its fifth Dance Marathon this Saturday in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Dance Marathon is a program under the Children's Miracle Network that raises money for children and their families at hospitals in the area. Students stand on their feet for 12 straight hours supporting the children who can't.
Twenty Miracle Children and their families have signed up for Saturday's event. While some are healthy and done with treatments, others are still fighting.
Kendall Kohnle, director of public relations for KU Dance Marathon, hopes to work with kids in need someday and said the Dance Marathon is a life-
The event kicks off with an opening ceremony, followed by a day full of music, food, games and dancing. "Around the World" is the theme for this

fall's Dance Marathon. A different country will be represented each hour with authentic food. A closing ceremony will conclude KUDM.
Holly Good, a sophomore from Shawnee, said being a part of KUDM puts a lot into perspective.
Even though it's a dance marathon, KUDM is centered around the kids. Students are encouraged to help in any way they can. KUDM participants can sign up in teams beforehand to fundraise and get their friends involved.
"Seeing how passionate the steering committee is makes me think about what a big difference you can make when you stand for something meaningful." Good said.
Participants can register until the day of the event for a $20 registration fee. At this point, 435 students have already registered.
The University hosted a Dance Marathon in February, raising $60,040.70. After this weekend, Kansas will become the second school in the country to have hosted two marathons in one year. Their fundraising goal for the year is $100,000.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters that any solution should include higher taxes on "the richest of the rich." That was in keeping with Obama's election platform, which calls for the expiration of tax cuts on income over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.

Obama back to work
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — One day after his surprisingly comfortable re-election, a triumphant President Barack Obama headed back to the White House and divided government on Wednesday with little time left for a compromise with Republicans to avert spending cuts and tax increases that threaten a new recession.
The president also is looking ahead to top-level personnel changes in a second term, involving three powerful Cabinet portfolios at a minimum.
THE CITY OF BOSTON
Republicans headed into a season of potentially painful reflection after retaining control of the House but losing the presidency and falling deeper into the Senate minority. One major topic: the changing face offace.
ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO
"We've got to deal with the issue of immigration through good policy. What is the right policy if we want economic growth in America as it relates to immigration?" said former Republican Party Chairman Haley Barbour. Obama drew support from about 70 percent of all Hispanics, far outpacing Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
There was little time to celebrate for the winners, with a postelection session of Congress scheduled to convene next Tuesday. By common agreement, the main order of business is the search for a compromise to keep the economy from falling off as so-called "fiscal cliff"
The White House said Obama had made postelection phone calls to congressional leaders and reiterated a commitment to bipartisan steps to "reduce our deficit in a balanced way, cut taxes for middle class families and small businesses and create jobs."
"The president said he believed that the American people sent a message in yesterday's election that leaders in both parties need to put aside their partisan interests and work with common purpose to put the interests of the American people and the American economy first," the statement said.
President Barack Obama pauses as he speaks at the election night party at McCormick Place Wednesday in Chicago. Obama defeated Republican challenger former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Puerto Ricans in favor of statehood
People ride a vehicle waving a Puerto Rican flag during elections in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Tuesday. Puerto Ricans are electing a governor as the U.S. island territory does not get a vote in the U.S. presidential election.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Puerto Ricans have endorsed U.S. statehood for the Caribbean island but also ousted the pro-statehood governor in a close election.
Gov. Luis Fortuno conceded defeat Wednesday to his main challenger after concluding there were not enough outstanding ballots to close the gap with his main challenger. Alejandro Garcia Padilla. The margin in Tuesday's vote was less than 1 percent.
"Now it's time for us to come together as one people. The campaign is over," Fortuno said in a news conference.
Fortuno, as a member of the pro-statehood New Progressive Party, said he was pleased that 61
percent of voters endorsed becoming a U.S. state, though critics said the two-part ballot was confusing to many and would not be enough to persuade the Congress to accept Puerto Rico into the union.
Fortuno, who is also a Republican, was a supporter of U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney and campaigned for him in Florida.
Garcia is part of the Popular Democratic Party, which wants Puerto Rico to remain semi-autonomous U.S. commonwealth.
The two-part referendum asked whether the island wanted to change its 114-year relationship with the United States. Nearly 54 percent, or 922,374 people, sought to change it, while 46 percent, or 786,749 people, favored the status quo. Ninety six percent of 1,643 captives were reporting as of early Wednesday.
"The ball is now in Congress court and Congress will have to react to this result," Pierluisi, a member of the pro-statehood party who was re-elected Tuesday. "This is a clear result that says 'no' to the current status."
The second question asked voters to choose from three options, with statehood by far the favorite, garnering 61 percent. Sovereign free association, which would have allowed for more autonomy, received 33 percent, while independence got 5 percent.
President Barack Obama earlier expressed support for the referendum and pledged to respect the will of the people in the event of a clear majority.
Fortuno and Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi, the island's representative in Congress, said the results of the referendum will be delivered to the Obama administration and the leadership in Congress with the hope that they will back the bid for statehood.
The island is currently a U.S. territory whose inhabitants are U.S. citizens but are prohibited from voting in presidential elections. Its resident commissioner in the U.S. House also has limited voting powers.
Garcia celebrated his victory with supporters at party headquarters.
"I can assure you we have rescued Puerto Rico," Garcia said. "This is a lesson to them who think that the well-being of Puerto Ricans should be subjected to ideologies."

Senior official killed by suicide bomber
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A Taliban suicide bomber struck a vehicle carrying a senior Pakistani police officer on Wednesday, killing him and four other people in the country's northwest, police said.
The bomber detonated his explosives as Hiall Hyder's vehicle was passing through a crowded market in the city of Peshawar, said police officer Asif Iqbal.
Hyder, who was investigating cases against militants in the troubled northwest, was killed along with two of his guards and two bystanders, said Iqbal. At least 37 other people were wounded.
Pakistani Taliban spokesman
Ahsanulah Ahsan claimed responsibility for the attack, saying Hyder was working against the militant group.
"We killed him today in Peshawar because he was behind the arrest of some of our fighters," Ahsan told The Associated Press by telephone from an undisclosed location.
Peshawar has experienced many attacks because it is located on the edge of Pakistan's tribal region, the main sanctuary for militants in the country.
The Pakistani Taliban have been waging a bloody insurgency for the past several years because they oppose the Pakistani government's alliance with the United States and want to enforce Islamic law throughout the country.

Obama receives support from Kenyan in-law
KOGELO, Kenya — Waving her cane and smiling broadly, the step-grandmother of Barack Obama celebrated his reelection in Kogelo, the home of Barack Obama's father. The family matriarch is Sarah Obama, who was the second wife of the president's grandfather.
"Take the great job that people have given to you and lead them well." Sarah Obama advised her relative by
marriage after his victory.
Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga told The Associated Press that the election victory was a great day for the United States and Kenya.
Kenya has its own presidential election coming up in March. The country's last vote in late 2007 turned devastatingly violent, and more than 1,000 people were killed. Odinga said the U.S. vote showed that elections should be decided based on issues.

Prioritize basketball vs. academics
UNIVERSITY
There is something special that occurs at the end of October, and classes shouldn't get in the way of it.
Sure the dog days of classes are weighing heavily upon us, but instead of cracking under the pressure we keep going on little sleep and a whole lot of caffeine. It's basketball season. There is no time to slack. The name Jayhawk evokes a sense of pride and tradition. The University of Kansas is known for basketball. It is almost mandatory to love it in order to be a Jayhawk. Here, we do it right. We have lottery at 6 a.m., the camping all week long, the sprinting to the best seats, the waiting, the
newspaper ripping, the cheering,
and ultimately the game.
If our world revolves around the loudest sporting arena in the country and a legendary game with a certain set of rules, then why isn't everyone participating? Frankly, there exist students that do not want to participate. It's crazy to believe, I know, but it's true. Some classes are held in the evening and although I think it's absolutely absurd that attendance is mandatory, many are not canceled on account of a basketball game. Professors should know that all students are going to do is think of the game, check phones for updates on the game, and not listen to a word spoken. Trust me, I know I am more interested in what @FakeJeffWithey will tweet next than what I am supposed to be learning.

Don't even get me started on exams. Really? When a school's essence screams "basketball," why is there an exam scheduled smack dab in the middle of a game? I
want to watch the action on the court, not draw pictures on my scantron.
Many students matriculate to the University for the sole experience of basketball in The Phog. It is a huge marketing point for the university for athletes and fans. When I was in fifth grade my friend took me as her guest to watch the Jayhawks play at Kemper Arena in Kansas City. From the moment I heard that first swish of a three-point shot, I was in love. I began to truly appreciate the sport and the tradition of basketball at the University. Basketball means everything here in Lawrence. It is the reason we buy the Sports Combo
pack. We love sports and we love our athletes. Therefore, no one should have to choose between basketball and anything else.
I'll ask the childhood question:
If you were stranded on an island and could only have one thing, what would it be? My answer: Jayhawk basketball. It seems like a lot, but it's the one thing I cannot survive without. I bleed crimson and blue and will forever chant from the top of my lungs: "Rock Chalk Jayhawk!"

The life and times of the FFA editor
If you're a loyal reader of the Kansan like I am, you know that most of the outside pages of the paper are only there to protect the delicate Free For All within, and you've probably texted the FFA at least once. I've even sent in a text (in an attempt to find a Poké-fangirl who's into wimpy writers), albeit one that was promptly shot down on the grounds that it "sounded too coherent" and "contained a properly-used semicolon."
But many people forget that there's an editor behind the FFA. And even though the FFA editor gets a few marriage proposals or offers for casual sex per semester, I don't think he gets all the respect he deserves for overseeing the most important foot-and-a-half of type in the Kansan. So I'm writing a novelization of his experiences as editor, and you loyal readers who haven't yet moved on to the real star of the opinion page get a sneak peek:
Suddenly, a whole bunch of them came screaming around the corner, sirens blaring. The fuzz. As they pushed out of their cars and clustered around me, I felt more stifled than the Potter Lake whale stuck in the campus plumbing. I figured the only thing I could do was play dumb, so I whipped out my phone.
By Sylas May
smay@kansan.com
"Name?" one of the coppers grunted.
"Editor. Fred Forrest Ambrose Editor... or FFA to my friends." I glanced down at my phone and chortled, "Look athat. 'Squirrels attacked my girlfriend's pumpkin'-can you believe that?" I held it up for the boys in blue to see, and they looked at me like youd look at a guy dressed as Slenderman on stilts.
"You know why we're having this little meeting, Editor?"
As I kept laughing, the frustrated fuzz filed back into their cars and drove off. "The squirrels came for our pumpkins; will they come for our newspapers next? Ron Paul 2012!" Think that one's a little too far off-base..."
"Squirrels came back and finished my pumpkin off! That's rich, ain't it, coppers?"
***
"But you got to print it, Mister Editor! I'll be ruined if you don't!" the dame shouted. She had a right to be distressed; it was the day before Halloween, and she was wearing a Karal Palin mask and a little red dress with a neckline so low you could called it a waistline.
"Sorry, maam," I slurred back between sips from my hip flask, "but I'm in the business of 160-character replies. This rant about 'slutty costumes' would barely fit in the space of three tweets, and it would make me unfollow you, to boot."
"You don't understand how hard it is to go to a party as a Sexy Former Governor of Alaska and not get laughed out of the building! If you don't print it, I won't make it through the night with my dignity!"
The dame was hysterical, and I knew the only way to shut her up was to give in. "Listen, the dignity's a lost cause, but if you'll cut out the last three sentences and add in a marriage proposal, it's a done deal."
SCHMIDT HAPPENS
"Ive seen a lotta strange messages come across that desk in my time," I muttered to myself, "but I ain't never seen one like this. 'Okay, ladies, listen up. At least one of you is a single, sober Pokéfanatic who likes to cuddle with humor columnists; come find me, stat?" The guy's a nutcase."
But before I could say another word, I saw the squirrel hurting across the room. The last thing I can remember before I blanked out was an acorn hitting me right between the eyes.

A look at the local bar scene
The Lawrence bar scene offers a variety of entertaining establishments to the nightlife masses. If you prefer trendy joints with loud music and dancing, look no further than Abe and Jake's Landing. For those seeking a diverse selection of draft beer, Free State Brewing Co. is a more than viable option. The Hawk and the Wheel have become ritual drinking grounds for the younger University crowd, and it's become common knowledge that dollar night at the Hawk can make or break any student's semester.
By Stephane Roque
sroque@kansan.com
There's nothing more frustrating to me than attempting to shoot a crucial billiards shot in a crowded bar. I'm sure that comes off as petty, but it's true. When I head to Rick's Place, I know that my mild form of claustrophobia won't be an issue. Rick's has been my go-to social hangout ever since I returned to the University two
But what about the other bars around this fine city that are never talked about? A night out at a "hole-in-the-wall" drinking establishment has become a lost art in the fast-paced socializing world of today, and it's about time we slowed things down just a bit.
years ago. Located at ninth and Illinois streets, Rick's has more than enough interior space to compliment a less-than impressive crowd size. Billiard tables, shuffleboard, darts, heck, even a homemade popcorn machine is on tap. The music never gets too loud because the owner, Rick, usually wants to watch a baseball game or watch the news. It's the little things that Rick's provides that keeps me coming back for more.
I know what a lot of you are saying, "why would I go to a hole-in-the-wall bar when I could hang out with more people at a more popular bar?" And honestly, I don't really have a legitimate answer. I have my preferences for going out and I respect everyone else's as well. My point, and the whole point of this column really, is that a hole-in-the-wall joint provides a comfortable escape
from our academically-demanding lives in ways that The Cave and Quinton's cannot. Conversations with friends can be better heard, comfortable space is in abundance, and there's a vibe that seems to echo, "chill out, bro" to the drunken folk who grace us with their loud and boisterous presences every so often.
Either way, Lawrence is providing us with a plethora of pleasant beer-drinking establishments, and we should all be grateful for it. If you want to hit up The Hawk on a Wednesday night and stay past 2 a.m. — turning you into a lumbering human corpse stumbling down Ohio street, or as my brother and I label them, "walkers"—then by all means party on. College is supposed to be about personal freedom and experiences, and lord knows I've been a "walker" more times than I'd care to disclose. Just don't forget about the Rick's of the world, because they still have plenty to offer in the realm of modern drinking establishments. Here's to safe drinking wherever you decide to venture.

Winter Fashion coming
It's freezing, and the only things you want to put on are your fuzzy slippers and a warm hoodie from high school. But please, I'm begging you to not give in to these dangerous temptations. Just because it's below zero does not mean all fashion has gone out the door. You can still be warm and cozy while remaining stylish, and I'm about to tell you how.
While winter accessories such as gloves and hats may sound dorky to some, they are nothing but chic and smart when done correctly. If you're sporting those puffy skioves you found in the garage years ago, then maybe it's time for an update. Fun styles such as leather and fingerless gloves are a must. The fingerless style is great for when you're still trying to use your phone or drive, and can even be worn as a fun accessory when it's perhaps not even necessary to wear gloves. Details such as pleating, cutouts, bows and zippers make staying warm that much cooler.
As for hats, I'm sure most of us have heard from our parents how important it is to wear this article of clothing during the chilly fall and winter seasons. Not only does this accessory help hide a bad hair day and trap in warmth, but it's a great fashion statement as well. If you're familiar with a fedora for summer, let me introduce to you the winter-friendly version. Rather than wearing one made of straw, the winter rendition is typically made from wool, and has a wider, cowboy-inspired brim. Opt for a color such as burgundy or hunter green, two major colors for this season.
CALLAN REILLY creilly@kansan.com
As for coats, the possibilities are endless. For chilly fall weather, leather jackets, trench coats, military-inspired cover-ups and capes are must-haves. Add a pattern and you have yourself a winner. Turn those dreary winter days into fashionably freezing temperatures by searching for a down coat that doesn't hide your figure. It may sound like an oxymoron, but not all down coats make you look like a marshmallow. Knee lengths with a belt at the waist define a human body beneath all that warmth. If you're looking for something even more fabulous, faux fur can be found just about anywhere, and the campus squirrels will even approve. If you're not ready for a full fur coat just yet, detachable collars for coats, as well as scarves or fur-trimmed hats, are a stylish start.

DERRYBERRY WEEKEND WARRIOR
Despite high prices, movies are still a nice alternative for students
DYLAN DERRYBERRY
dderryberry@kansan.com
There's nothing like going to the movies. As a kid, I'd spend my summer days at the local theater for a $2 matinee. For my first "date", I saw a horror movie and got to hold the girl when she was scared. Even in my senior year of high school, I'd spend Thursday nights at the midnight releases of films. Movie theaters and movies in general have played a big part in my life, and as an aspiring film journalist, they'll continue to do so. Unfortunately, $2 matinees no longer exist, my parents don't give me money for dates anymore, and with rent to pay and too many trips to the bar, a night at the movies has become a financial burden.
But despite rising ticket prices, 3D glasses fees and high popcorn prices, seeing the silver screen can still be affordable. Whether you're into action, drama or documentary, Lawrence has plenty of options for cheap movie buffs of all sorts.
The KU Collegiate Veterans Association has a free screening
of the documentary "Restrepo" at 7 p.m. tonight at the KU Visitor's Center auditorium. The film follows the deployment of a team of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan at the remote 15-man outpost, Restrepo. The film won the Grand Jury Prize for documentaries at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010, so it's critically worth checking out, and the screening is sponsored by Coca-Cola, so the free drinks alone will save $10 you would have spent at the megaplex.
Also tonight is a snowboarding double feature at Liberty Hall. The first screening is the premiere of Absinthe Films' 2012 feature "Resonance," which showcases notable snowboarders Scotty Lago and Danny Cass alongside many more. I worked at a ski shop in Aspen for a bit and boarded as much as I could, so trust me, even if you don't follow snowboarding, these films are a ton of fun to watch. The event also features the documentary "Open Spaces," by Lawrence native Dalton Paley. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are $5.
There's no need to sneak in the snacks when seeing a movie at Liberty Hall. The affordable ticket and concession stand prices make the film venue ideal for the college student's budget.
War documentaries and snowboard flicks aren't for everyone, though, so starting tonight the Student Union Activities campus movie series is playing The Dark Knight Rises. For those who didn't spend $15 to see it this summer or for those who loved it so much they want to see it again, here is your chance. Tickets are only $2 for KU Students ($3 for general public) so check out the batty blockbuster at Woodruff Auditorium at 8 p.m. tonight through Saturday.

For a unique movie-going experience on really any day of the week, check out Liberty Hall. We've all been to the AMCs and Hollywood Theaters of the industry, but Liberty Hall is more than 100 years old and serves beer. The theater shows mostly independent films but always offers an interesting variety to choose from. And if you can't fit a movie into your weekend schedule, Tuesdays are 2-for-1 movie nights, which is totally worth the weeknight outing. Liberty Hall is currently screening "Seven Psychopaths" and "Liberal Arts," both of which I would highly

I am a Resident Assistant at ELLsworth, an Orientation Assistant, the Media Coordinator for Queers and Allies. I'm in Student Ambassadors and also Prototype, the Graphic Design club.

IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND, WHAT THREE ITEMS WOULD YOU BRING WITH YOU?
My computer so I could do design work, because I think I'd go insane without that. My running shoes because if I don't run running every day, my brain just implodes. And probably a book that I could just read over and over again. I have a book that's all seven of Jane Austen's novels.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR PERFECT FIRST DATE?
I'd have to say that going on a picnic in Marvin's Grove would be so much fun. It would be fun to ruke some sandwiches or whatever and go hang out in Marvin's Grove for an afternoon and just not worry about anything, not care about anything, just hang out and talk and get to know each other.

Quixotic takes on Lawrence
ELLY GRIMM
egrimm@kansan.com
A unique show with local artists is preparing to blow the minds of its patrons with an upcoming performance.
The Kansas City-based show Quixotic, which originally began its creative ventures in abandoned warehouses and buildings in the Kansas City area in 2005, will perform tomorrow night at the Lied Center. Much like Cirque du Soleil, the groups routines cover a variety of disciplines including music, dance, film and acrobatics.
"There's great production value and great energy in all of their shows," said Tim Van Leer, executive director at the Lied Center. "They're always adding something and reinventing themselves all the time."
While the group is based in Kansas City, they've progressed to a national presence and now have
"We've gotten to travel all over the U.S., and now we get to do bigger and better shows in Kansas City," Quixotic's principal dancer Laura Jones said. "We used to do one big show a year, but now we've performed for different workshops, corporations and performing centers."
Jones, who has been with Quixotic for the last four years, shared her thoughts on the show's style.
a national booking company and headquarters in Los Angeles and New York. They also performed at this year's annual Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conference in Long Beach, Calif.
Draper, who has been contributing since 2008, was originally recruited to the show to write a piece for them. Since then, he's contributed with the show's other musicians and revealed that a few University students will also be participating.
"The collaboration and creating of new pieces has been great because we're creating our own standard," Draper said. "Everything — the collaboration and different disciplines — is completely on our own and original and local."
"I'ts very unique because of the dancing," she said. "We all really like the dance styles and love that we also get to perform to live music. It's fun to bring new ideas to life and also explore new ideas."
"We hope that people in Lawrence will become fans and students come to see boundaries pushed further than before," he said. "They might see different takes on how everything with the show works together and let their imaginations go further."
The live aspects of the show also appealed to another one of the performers, Brandon Draper, who's not
only a contributor to Quixotic but also an adjunct professor of percussion at the University.

/mcdonald@kansan.com
Robert Zemeckis makes his long-awaited return to live action with the release of "Flight," his first non-animated effort since being "Castaway" with Tom Hanks back in 2013. Viewers put off by the doll-eyed languor of his CGI "Polar Express" and "Beowulf" can rest easy knowing the "Back to the Future" director's abilities are largely undiminished, despite the uneven quality of his new work.

"Flight" is a well-meaning melange, a drama that starts off as a powerful, fiercely acted character before study nosediving into a forced, arbitrary resolution that strains credulity and contradicts everything the audience has by then come to understand about Whip Whitaker, the alcoholic airline pilot played with imposive intensity by an Oscar-caliber Denzel Washington.
ROBIN BAKER
Denzel Washington and Don Cheadle star in "Flight" directed by Robert Zemeckis. It opened in theatres on Oct. 14.
When we first meet Whip, he's shacked up in a hotel room with nubile flight attendant Katerina (Nadine Velazquez), nullifying the previous night's hangover with a few liberal snacks of cocaine. It is made clear from the beginning that despite a surfeit of skill and a background in the Navy, Whip is a sad, arrogant waste of a man, one who certainly has no business working as a pilot.
Less than an hour later, this same man is flying a jetliner carrying 102 passengers in the midst of a raging thunderstorm, his nerves fixed somewhere between ice-veined assurance and reckless mania. Suddenly the controls fail and the aircraft enters free fall. Whip, calling on all his experience and a considerable amount of dumb luck, manages to set the plane down in a field outside of Atlanta, minimizing passenger casualties while executing a complete inversion, a process that requires flying upside down.
Zemeckis stages the crash with startling intimacy, immersing the
viewer in a fog of fear and panic. The lurching chaos on display is offset by Whip calmly comforting his flight crew, even when the plane glides close enough to a church that its wings cut through the steeple. This is the most effective scene of its kind since the ending of Paul Greengrass's "United 93."
The rest of the movie deals with the aftermath of the crash, including the investigation that kicks off when Whip's blood tests reveal the apparent hero was legally intoxicated at the time of the accident. This prompts Charlie (Bruce Greenwood), Whip's longtime friend and a pilot's union rep, to elicit help from a flashy Chicago lawyer (Don Cheadle) who brags that his clients never go to jail. Whip, wracked with guilt over the six deaths he may have caused, hooks up with a recovering junkie
named Nicole (Kelly Reilly, Dr. Watson's wife in the "Sherlock Holmes" series) and tries to sober up in time for a hearing with an investigative bigwig (Melissa Leo).
Aside from Washington, "Flight" also features several invaluable supporting performances. John Goodman elevates his every scene as Whip's jocular drug dealer Harling, whose arrival is usually heralded by the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" (just one of the gems on the film's oldies-laden soundtrack). Greenwood, an underrated performer if there ever was one, lets his character's brotherly concern for Whip shine through his low-key exterior in a way that's genuinely moving.
The trailer for "Flight" suggests a very different movie from the one you'll find here. This isn't a conspiracy thriller or an action film in the vein of Washington's runaway train hit "Unstoppable." This is a portrait of a self-destructive alcoholic, similar in spirit to something like "Leaving Las Vegas." Washington's character is not meant to be especially likeable, but his flaws never feel less than fully, tragically human.
The downfall of the film is its unabashed Hollywood end, which compels Whip to start behaving in ways that only serve to drive the plot, closing the story on a note of sour sentiment, roughly 15 minutes after a scene that would have made for an ideal farewell. It's as if Zemecik, after more than two hours of dutiful chronicling Whip's spiral of substance abuse, suddenly wanted to make an entirely different movie, adding a Lifetime-worthy conclusion that grounds the rest of "Flight" like ice on the wings of a plane.

Written and directed by pro snowboarder Mike Basich and Hand Built Production's Dalton Paley, "Open Space" is Basich's autobiography, the "untold stories" of his personal journey through the sport of snowboarding.
Tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Liberty Hall, Hand Built Productions will present two snowboarding documentaries: Their Own "Open Space" and Absinthe Films" Resonance."
From the standpoint of an outsider, the life of a professional extreme sports athlete looks glamorous. Although the struggles on their turf are visible to their fans, what goes on behind the scenes can sometimes be just as stressful.
(CONCERT AND POETRY SLAM TOO!)
LAWRENCE
Snowboarding success
After he was diagnosed with epilepsy at age eight, he turned to snowboarding as a kind of medication. In the film, Basich claims he was "hooked for life" when he first started encountered the sport in 1985.
800-662-3915
Almost miraculously, tests revealed two years later that he was free and
clear of the condition. By then, Basich had already been experiencing success as a contender in competitions, and there was no doubt he would continue to pursue his passion.
"I wasn't about to let go of what I had, and my heart was set on snowboarding," Basich said in the film.
Tickets to see both films are $5, and a portion of the proceeds will go to benefit the Humane Society.

COMMENTARY
Kansas basketball fans can melt down with the best of them, and Tuesday's awful showing against Washburn, a Division-II opponent from Topeka, gave them as good a reason as any to do just that. But this isn't about the vast differences between a meaningless exhibition and the regular season, because anyone who watched that 62-50 abomination of a basketball game — topped off with the great referee Tim Higgins, who has never seen a touch foul he didn't love — saw that Self cared little about throttling the Ichabods by 40 points. His team played badly, and at times he yanked guys out after one mistake, undoubtedly trying to send messages before the real games start tomorrow night.
From good to great
This isn't about Kansas possibly struggling to win its ninth Big 12 regular season title in a row, either. With all those "puppies," as Self calls them, on the roster, it would be hard to argue against someone picking the Jayhawks to relinquish their Big 12 crown.
But I gave up on picking against Self in the regular season last year. How too good
Allen Fieldhouse is too big of a home court advantage.
He's too good.
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
The rest of the Big 12 is not talented enough and too intimidated by Self and his teams, especially over an 18-name conference schedule.
But there are definite question marks.
"We don't have guys that will go out and get you 36 between the two of them over the course of a Big 12 season like Thomas and Tyd did," Self said last month at Big 12 Media Day. "That will be the challenge to me is having the really good players step up and become excellent players."
"Thomas would get doubled, and jeff would benefit from that," Self said at last month's Big 12 Media Day. "This year, defenses will be designed to stop jeff, so him getting 12 points a game will show great improvement."
The roster is full of good players, and for the first time since 2005-2006, there isn't a clear star — or group of stars, like 2008 — as of right now. A few of those puppies will turn into all conference-type players, my vote going to Ben McLemore and Perry Ellis.
Robinson took over for the Morris twins, who followed Cole Aldrich. Aldrich followed Darnell Jackson and Sasha Kaun, who sat behind Wayne Simien for a season. All of those players played professionally at one point.
Doubting Withey's ability to take over that role isn't unwarranted. But doubting a Kansas big man to take a leap in production when given the opportunity is foolish.
"The bottom line is," Self said at last season's awards banquet, when talking about the roster turnover he's faced nearly every season while continuing to win the conference, "We do what we do."
Senior center Jeff Withey will eventually become that next great Kansas big man, taking over for Thomas Robinson, Cole Aldrich, Darrell Arthur and on and with. Withey averaged 9.0 ppg and 6.3 rpg last season as Thomas Robinson drew all the attention from opponents.
There isn't a simpler way to put it.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - Kansas was struggling, and they were struggling badly. For the second straight match, the Jayhawks didn't even compete in the first set, losing to Kansas State 25-13.
Sara McClinton didn't care
After taking the second set
Heeding the words of injured libero Brianne Riley, McClinton, the sophomore outside hitter, took over late in the second set, recording two kills and the set-ending block to draw Kansas level with Kansas State at one set apiece.
"I got a lot of my mentality from Bri," McClinton said. "Since she couldn't contribute playing-wise, she was like, 'Ok Sara, you need to have confidence in yourself and have the team feed off of it. You're one of the most calm ones right now, so use that to attack and demand the ball."
28-26, the Jayhawks won two more extended sets, 26-24 and 27-25, to sweep the Wildcats in both season games for the first time since 2009.
Both teams had to scrap until the end, though. The Jayhawks led 24-22 in the fourth set, but a service error and a Wildcat block tied the set at 24. Sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers responded with her 11th kill of the match, and Kansas converted its fourth match point on the next play when a Wildcat attack went long.
"I had a feeling we had it the whole time, and then it was 24-22 and they came back," junior setter Erin McNorton said. "I did get a little nervous. I still thought we had it, but once that final point went down it was crazy."
Coach Ray Bechard said he was frustrated his team committed two service errors late in the set that could have cost them the victory, but that his team proved their resilience by converting on their fourth match point.
"We made a lot of great plays to finally finish the set off," Bechard said. "But you can't have back-to-back service errors at that point in time. But that's a team that's resilient in that they can find a way to make another play to make up for that."

The Wildcats had two of their six service aces in the first set and repeatedly forced Kansas out of system with its serves. Without Riley, the Jayhawks couldn't establish a go-to person in the back line for digging. K-State took advantage with 15 first set kills.
"We made a lot of great plays to finally finish the set off."
After the first set, the only impression Kansas made was that it didn't have any chemistry
on Saturday, Kansas was running out of chances to impress the NCAA Selection Committee.
"In the beginning it was super shaky," McNorton said. "I think
RAY BECHARD Kansas Head Coach
that's what got us off to the bad 25-13 start was our passes were not there, so we had to resort to out-of system plays."
While Kansas back line struggled at first, its
middle blockers and outside hitters made up for it at the net. Both teams finished with 11 blocks, but Kansas made more of them at critical times. Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree and McClinton
teamed for the block that gave Kansas the second set, and Albers was part of a late block in the third and fourth set that extended the jayhawks lead.
Four Jayhawk attackers finished with double-digit kills. Bechard said McClinton's 16 kills were important because many of them came in the first two sets when Kansas was still figuring out its passing.
"They were a little out-of-system sets and she took heavy, aggressive swings." Bechard said. "We talked a little bit about competitive courage before the match started, and I think that was a good example of it."
Kansas moved to 21-5 overall and 9-3 in the conference with the victory. The Jayhawks play at home Saturday at 6:30 p.m. against No. 3 Texas.

Kansas sets sights on winning a road game
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Before every practice, before every walkthrough and before every home game, the Kansas Jayhawks are reminded of what is expected from them.
11
A huge whiteboard with a list of team goals hangs just outside the jayhawks' locker room. If the goals are met, a helmet sticker is added for that game; if not, it stays blank. This season the stickers have been coming in patches, but that hasn't altered Kansas' objectives.
Sophhore tight end Jimmy Mundine rolls into the end zone to earn the Jayhawks their first touchdown of the game against Oklahoma State earlier this year.
"The goals never change," Kansas coach Charlie Weis said. "You add things to that list, you don't take things away from that list."
TARABRYANT/KANSAN
At the top of the list: Win a Big 12 game. From there the list gets more specific. The defense has its eyes set on holding their opponent to under 21 points, less than 125-yards rushing and to make a minimum of 15 disruptive plays — tackles for loss, fumble recoveries, deflected passes, etc.
For the Kansas players, the stickers represent a point of pride, but not every action gets rewarded with a piece of adhesive art. For some Jayhawks, their personal goals are just important.
"A leader that is looked up to by his teammates always leads by example first and speaks second," Cummings said. "That's one of the things I like to do."
It's improvement in leadership that has freshman quarterback Michael Cummings focused.
For some of the other Jayhawks the goal is to play at their full potential, and the inability to reach that isn't something a sticker can bandage.
"I expect myself to do so good, but I still am a young buck out there on the field," sophomore tight end Jimmy Mundine said. "I'm not happy at all because I've got high expectations for myself. I worked hard over the summer to achieve those goals and hopefully go above and beyond those goals."
Mundine has been working to become more sound in the Kansas
run game. He said in practice he feels comfortable with his footwork, but in games he sometimes panics as a blocker. As a receiver, Mundine hopes to add onto his total of two touchdowns this year.
If there is one thing about these Jayhawks, it's that they can see how close they are to getting an elusive Big 12 victory. The last few years of Kansas football has seen players looking worn down as the season has come to a close. With this team it's the opposite. There is optimism in the locker room, and the players feel closer than ever to getting over the hump.
"I'd like to develop a mindset that it doesn't matter where you play." Defensive coordinator Dave Campo said. "Two of our next three are on the road. We can make some strides."
But getting climbing that hill this year will require something Kansas hasn't done since Sept. 12, 2009: win a road game.
Campo and Weis have both refused to continue with the same road plan they have used all
Changing Kansas' road mentality could kill two goals with one
season. One of the tweaks is for the Jayhawks to hold a walkthrough at the road venue to get more acclimated to the surroundings and keep the players focused on football when they run out of the tunnel on Saturday.
sticker — getting a Big 12 win and doing so outside of Lawrence.
"We all need to do a better job when we're on the road." Weis said. "In the last three games, that's not the way it's gone. That would be an add-on, not a subtraction."

STARTING LINEUP
OFFENSE
The Jayhawks' passing game has been an issue all year. Even with a solid run game, Kansas' inability to throw has robbed itself of valuable points. We saw last week against Baylor that playing high-scoring teams on the road would be the ultimate challenge for the Jayhawks. It does have to take an Andrew Luck-type performance, but neither Kansas starting quarterback has completed more than 50 percent of its passes since losing to Kansas State.

DEFENSE
The Jayhawks' defense didn't do their offense any favors last week. Kansas gave up 21 unanswered points in the second half after a close battle in the first 30 minutes. Part of the problem was the Bears' passing game backing up the Kansas defenders and allowing Baylor to run. The good news: While Texas Tech boasts the fourth-best passing game in the country, it has the worst run offense in the Big 12.

MOMENTUM
it's hard to have any momentum after giving up 21 unanswered points in the second half of a blowout to Baylor, Michael Cummings' passes looked much better, but his receivers had trouble making plays. Putting together a full game will be the next step to boost Kansas' spirit.
)
AT A GLANCE
Texas Tech presents many of the same offensive problems as Baylor did a week ago. Quarterback Seth Doege has passed for more touchdowns (19) than anyone else in the Big 12, while throwing just seven interceptions. But the Red Raiders offense is somewhat one-dimensional. Texas Tech averages only 3.5 yards per rush, so the key to this game will be slowing down Tech's passing game.
COACHING
This part of the season will get very tough for running backs coach Reggie Mitchell. Kansas' biggest weapon is its stable of runners, but teams are starting to catch on. After rushing for nearly 100 yards in the first half against Baylor last week, James Sims finished with just 126 yards. Keeping the run effective will be crucial for the Jayhawks in their last three games.
KANSAS
Weis
PLAYER TO WATCH
With three games left in the season James Sims is leading the Big 12 in rushing. He is less than 100 yards away from breaking his career high for a season (748), and that's after sitting out the first three games in 2012. All eyes will be on Sims to see if he is in fact the Big 12's best.
2
Sims
SPECIAL TEAMS
QUESTION MARKS
Ron Doherty returned to form last Saturday with six punts averaging 44.3 yards per kick. Fixing the pestering special teams problems has been a huge concern for Kansas coach Charlie Weis likely. After calling for all hands on deck it seems he's found some more stability with the unit. Still, field goals have got to become a more viable option for the low-scoring Jayhawks.
Football Boots
Can James Sims keep up his streak of 100-yard rushing games? The Jayhawks certainly need his production. Will Texas Tech tempt Weis to opt for more passes? Since becoming the Jayhawks' starter, Michael Cummings has only completed 22 of 49 pass attempts. And will the Jayhawks score more than 20 points? They haven't been able to do so since putting up 23 on Northern Illinois in week four.
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ...
Kansas can perform on the road like it does at home. The Jayhawks have been able to limit high-scoring offenses to 21 points or less in Lawrence, but not on the road. Staying competitive until the end is the next challenge for Kansas.

STARTING LINEUP
OFFENSE
Texas Tech's offense is red hot and one of the best in the Big 12. Texas Tech leads the conference for most passing touchdowns. Led by quarterback Seth Doege and a strong offensive line, the Red Raiders' offense is mostly passing oriented. Doege's thrown 31 touchdowns and eight interceptions on the year and hopes to improve his numbers against Kansas. Running backs Kenny Williams and Eric Stephens Jr. have not been involved in game plans very much. Expect the Red Raiders to go pass heavy on the Jayhawks.

Tommy Tuberville has coached a good defense, coordinated by Art Kaufman. The defense is ranked 18th in the country and third in the Big 12. Texas Tech's pass defense is second in the conference, thanks to safety Cody Davis, who won Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week in Week 7.

MOMENTUM
Texas Tech has lost to Kansas just once in the two teams' history. The Red Raiders have defeated the Jayhawks in the previous five meetings. This year, the Red Raiders have played well and have six wins, three within the conference, under their belt. They have the upper hand going into this game against the Jayhawks, but Tuberville won't take any game lightly.
AT A GLANCE
TEXAS 9
Texas Tech opened the season ninth in the Big 12 polls with few expectations. Although the Red Raiders are 3-3 in the conference, they have some standout players who've had their names featured in the spotlight. An unbalanced offense and inconsistency on defense has kept them away from being ranked higher, but they've won more games than many had expected, and in doing so have already exceeded expectations for 2012.
COACHING
Like any coach, Tommy Tuberville took the necessary routes to land head coaching gigs with multiple schools throughout his coaching career. He spent four years as the defensive line and linebackers coach at Arkansas State. He made a name for himself at Miami as an eight-year assistant and as the defensive coordinator for Texas A&M for one season. Tuberville was the head coach at Ole Miss for four years and at Auburn for 10 years. Since 2010, Tuberville as been with Texas Tech and has led it to a 19-15 record so far.
WESTINGTON
Tuberville
PLAYER TO WATCH
Wide receiver Eric Ward can make the biggest difference in this game for the Red Raiders. Ward isn't in the top 50 in the nation in either receptions or receiving yards. But that hasn't stopped Seth Doege from finding him in the end zone. Ward is tied fifth in the nation for most touchdown catches with 10. Ward has been a red-zone
48
Ward
threat for opposing defensive backs. What makes this more interesting is the fact that Kansas is first in the Big 12 in red-zone defense. Keep an eye on Ward when Texas Tech has the ball inside the 20.
SPECIAL TEAMS
W
Kicker Ryan Bustin has made 12 of 17 field goals this year, with misses from various distances. Texas Tech will want Bustin to come through if it's stopped in the red zone. Kick returner SaDale Foster and punt returner Austin Zouzalik haven't made much noise on special teams but have a chance to change that against Kansas. The Jayhawks have allowed some big returns this season, most notably against Oklahoma.
QUESTION MARKS
Can Texas Tech limit its turnovers?
Although Texas Tech has played well this season, its 3-3 conference record is due to the 10 turnovers the team has committed this year. If Kansas creates a couple of turnovers on the road and follow up with scores, Texas Tech could find itself in jeopardy of losing its top 25 spot in the rankings.
Will the Red Raiders draw a lot of penalties
The Red Raiders, as good as they are, have been guilty of 44 penalties, which counts for the most in the conference. Texas Tech must be mentally prepared and more focused this week to prevent from having yellow flags thrown its direction.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ...
Kansas can't compete in the second half on the road. It's a trend with the Jayhawks. Their road performance in conference games haven't gone well in the second half. Charlie Weis has told his players that they need to play four full quarters of good football if they want any shot at winning, especially on the road in difficult Big 12 environments.

THE MORNING BREW Grading the top five selections from the 2012 NFL Draft
As the NFL reaches the halfway point of the season, let's look at how the top five picks from the 2012 draft are doing with their new teams. I have ranked the five players based on the order they were picked in the draft. I have also given each player a grade on how they are doing thus far in their young rookie careers.
1 ANDREW LUCK QB
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
By Drew Harms
dharms@kansan.com
Grade: A
2012 Stats: 2.404 passing yards, 10 tds, 8 ints So far at the midway point of the season, Luck has answered all his critics by leading the Colts to a 5-3 record. This is already three more wins than the 2011 squad who finished the season with a miserable 2-14 record. Last Sunday, Luck set a new rookie record for passing yards in a game when he threw for 433 yards against the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. Luck broke Cam Newton's record (432) that Newton passed for in his first career NFL game in his rookie season last year. The Colts sit in 2nd place right now in the AFC south right behind the Houston Texans. If the Colts and Luck's success continues, we might be seeing the Colts in the playoffs this season after being the worst team in the NFL last season.
2 ROBERT GRIFFIN III QB
WASHINGTON REDSKINS
Grade: A
2012 stats: 1,993 passing yards, 3 ints/529 rushing yds, 14 total tds
Griffin was the second pick in the 2012 draft and is the main reason that the Redskins have had any success this season. Griffin has led the Redskins to a 3-6 record so far this season with many offensive injuries, and a defense that hasn't been able to stop anyone's opposing offense. The last few games Griffin hasn't received too much help out of his receiving core though, as they have dropped too many passes. Two of the Redskins' best receivers, like Pierre Garcon, have been injured for the majority of the season as well. One player who has provided Griffin with the most help on offense is rookie standout running back Alfred Morris. Morris, from Florida Atlantic, is 4th in the NFL in rushing yards with 793. Once the offense gets healthy and the defense starts improving, this team
will make a lot of noise in the NFC East for years to come.
3 TRENT RICHARDSON RB
CLEVELAND BROWNS
Grade: A-
2012 State: 575 rushing yards, 5 tds
2012 Stats: 575 rushing yards, 5 tds Richardson, who was the third pick in the 2012 draft, has had about as good of a season as a running back can have with a struggling team like the Browns. The Brownss feature a rookie running back/quarterback duo with Richardson and the 29-year-old rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden. The only problem with this duo is that Richardson is the one who does his part. Weeden has a the 67.9 passer rating and has thrown only 9 touchdowns to 12 interceptions. Weeden's 67.9 passer rating is the 2nd worst in the league, and even Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel has a higher passer rating than Weeden. Even with an impressive two 100-yard rushing games, Richardson should have more yards than 575. Richardson's toughnosed running and work ethic should help him develop into a star in the league for years to come.
2012 State, N.F.L.
Kalil, from UFC, has done a great job at the left tackle position for the Minnesota Vikings this season. Kalil has provided protection and made life easier for the Vikings quarterback
4 MATT KALIL OT MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Grade: B
2012 stats: N/A
Christian Ponder. He has also opened up running lanes for arguably the league's best running back in Adrian Peterson. Kalil has emerged as one of the best offensive linemen for the Vikings and looks to help Peterson and the Vikings in the long run. The Vikings currently hold a 5-4 record and are 3rd in the brutal NFC north.
5 JUSTIN BLACKMON WR
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
2012 stats: 225 receiving yards, 1 td
The former Oklahoma State star Blackmon has yet to establish a real identity in the NFL. Blackmon's production is extremely low for someone who was taken 5th overall in the 2012 draft. Blackmon is not the main problem though; it's the fact that the Jacksonville Jaguars are just plain awful. At 1-7 the Jaguars feature a below-average quarterback in Blaine Gabbert who has struggled to develop chemistry with Blackmon. Sooner or later Blackmon will likely have more production in the NFL. The major concern with Blackmon is that he doesn't amaze you with his skill set the way that the young receivers Julio Jones and A.J. Green do. Yes, Blackmon's only a rookie, and receivers often take longer to develop in the league, but so far he lacks the big-play ability and the breakaway speed that elite receivers in the NFL possess.

Ellis pushed to work harder

ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Kansas coach Bill Self is slowly turning into a broken record with how frequently he mentions that freshman forward Perry Ellis needs to become more aggressive on the court.
It's a hard transition for a player who could get by on his athleticism in high school, but Ellis will play a key role in the Kansas offense when the Jayhawks open their season against Southeast Missouri State on Friday.
Withey is familiar with the players being called laid back. He had to work past the label of a laid-back player when he first arrived at Kansas.
"He has all the talent in the world right now," senior center Jeff Withey said. "He's going to be really good if he can get out of his comfort zone and get out of his laid-back approach."
Eventually he worked through that and became aggressive enough on the court to be named the 2011- 12 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.
But that doesn't mean Withey doesn't have relapses from time to time, such as the first half of the Jayhawk's exhibition game against Washburn, where he only recorded one rebound and one block before finding himself on the bench.
When a player isn't going hard in practice, Self gets on his back and starts riding him quick.
Benching a player in practice, however, isn't the most efficient way to get results. But Self has a couple of other tried-and-true techniques.
If Self couldn't get Withey motivated verbally, he took a different approach.
Withey would find himself running up and down the bleachers of Allen Fieldhouse.
"He knows how to get the best out of his players, and he's going to get you right," Withey said. "He's definitely going to push Perry, and it's going to help Perry out a lot."
Withey is far from the first player
whose mindset Self had to change when they arrived on campus.
Self rode senior guard Elijah Johnson for playing too slow when he arrived on campus four years ago.
And before Johnson, it was other Kansas alums such as Sherron Collins or Tyshawn Taylor, who all figured it out and went on to help Self lead Kansas to eight consecutive conference championships.
In the first half he dove on the floor for a loose ball and also managed a block, a steal and two offensive boards.
"If you don't get yelled at, then it's probably a problem." Johnson said. "I think it's definitely part of the process."
As far as when the message will
"When I got out of that zone and got mad, things changed," Withey said. "If Perry can get out of that, he can be really good."
finally get through to Ellis remains to be seen, but he did show some signs of aggressiveness against Washburn.

Heat stay undefeated at home
MIAMI — Dwyane Wade scored 22 points on 10 for 14 shooting, LeBron James finished two assists shy of a triple-double and the Miami Heat improved to 4-0 at home for the first time in franchise history by beating the Brooklyn Nets 103-73 on Wednesday night.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kris Humphries had a doubledouble by halftime, then was silent in the second half and finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Nets (1-2). Deron Williams scored 14 for Brooklyn, which got 12 off the bench from MarShon Brooks.
James had 20 points and 12 rebounds in only 30 minutes, and Rashard Lewis scored 13 points for the Heat (4-1). Miami — which plays its next six games on the road
— has won its four home games by an average of 17.8 points.
The Nets had 19 turnovers, which Miami turned into 31 points.
Miami started 3-0 at home in four other seasons, always falling in the fourth game. Not this time.
The Heat started 3 for 12 from 3-point range, then made seven of their last 12, giving them 40 makes from beyond the arc in their last three games.

Brooklyn didn't lose sight of Miami in the first half, still being within five with less than a minute remaining until the break, before the Heat got late scores from Wade and James to take a 50-41 edge into the locker room.

It was a 54-46 game after Keith Bogans made a 3-pointer for Brooklyn early in the third, but after that, all Heat. Miami needed just 91 seconds to put together a 10-0 run — two baskets by Wade started it, and 3-pointers from Shane Battier and Mario Chalmers finished it, putting the Heat up 64-46.

KU TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks enter the 2012-13 seasons after an underwhelming exhibition game where they scrapped out a 62-50 victory against Washburn. Southeast Missouri State could turn into a trap game if Kansas looks ahead to its upcoming Champions Classic tussle with Michigan State, but after their poor outing in the final exhibition game, expect Coach Self to have his Jayhawks in a line.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Freshman forward Perry Ellis
Ellis plays an important role in the Jayhawks offense as the only natural scorer in the Kansas frontcourt. If he is easily finding a way to put the ball in the basket, the Jayhawks offense will run as a well-oiled machine. Ellis didn't start a game in the preseason because Self wants him to become a more aggressive player, but when he's not starting he'll be the first guy off the bench.
Will Jeff Withey find his groove?
QUESTION MARK
The seven-foot tall center looked rusty against Emporia State and Washburn. He admitted that he struggled playing against smaller lineups, and unfortunately for him, he'll once again find himself matched up smaller forwards, as the tallest player on the Redhawks' roster stands 6-foot-9.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"We didn't execute and our senior leadership was non-existent. We played like little babies tonight. They beat us to loose balls, and we didn't rebound it."
— Bill Self on his team's play against Washburn
KANSAS
0-0, (0-0 BIG 12)
STARTERS
SAMUEL SALVAZ
Johnson
Elijah Johnson, Senior Guard
Johnson is still adjusting to his role as the facilitator of the offense after working as the two guard next to Tyshawn Taylor last season. Eventually, he'll make the adjustment, but Johnson is more of a combo guard and so the question with the athletically-gifted Johnson becomes when it will happen.
★ ★ ★ ☆
PETER TOWNSEND
McLemore
Travis Releford, Senior Guard
Releford pulled a Houdini against Washburn and disappeared despite playing 27 minutes. More will be expected of him now that the games count, and expect him to return to the aggressive Releford he showed he could be last season.
★★★☆☆
Ben McLemore, Freshman Guard
Releford
In the exhibition season, McLemore has emerged as one of the best offensive weapons on the team, but after scoring early and often in the first half, he failed to provide the same spark in the second.
★★★★☆
MARK A. MUNGHELE
Wesley
Justin Wesley, Junior Forward
Wesley got his chance, filling in for an injured Kevin Young against Washburn. Wesley's focus will be on the defensive side of the ball, as the man who took a turn acting as Wilt Chamberlain in "jaeyawkers" will be focused more on grabbing rebounds than trying to emulate Chamberlain by scoring 100.
★★★☆☆
PETER J. SCHWARTZ
Jeff Withey, Senior Center
Withey
For the first three halves of preseason play, Withey looked like he regressed to his form from the 2010-11 season rather than the tough- nosed defender he played as last season. He finally showed some glimpses of the 2011-12 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year in the second half of the game. Expect the Jayhawks to try and get him going early so they can put the game out of reach.
★★★☆

STARTERS
0-0
The Jayhawks defense comes out flying, forcing turnovers that lead to easy buckets and allow the Rock Chalk Chant to reverberate through Allen Fieldhouse early in the second half.
Maryland Smith, Senior Guard
MARVELS BOWIE
Smith will likely be given the task of guarding Kansas guard Elijah Johnson. Southeast Missouri coach Dickey Nutt said after the last exhibition game that Martand Smith is quick and athletic on defense. Smith also has the ability to score, averaging more than 12 points per game for the last two seasons. Smith is the only player on the Rehawks roster who has spent all four years of his college career at Southeast Missouri State.
★★
Nick Niemczyk, Senior Guard
JEREMY GUILLOT
Last season Niemczyk shot more than 90 percent from the free throw line, the only problem being he averaged just under one trip to the foul line per game. Niemczyk will need to find a way to get fouled and make that free throw percentage count. Two years ago Niemczyk averaged two foul shots per game and 13.4 points per game, last season he shot 0.8 foul shots per game and scored 9.2 points per game.

Lucas Nutt, Junior Guard
Lucas Nutt is the son of Southeast Missouri State coach Dickey Nutt, Logan Nutt, the older brother of Lucas graduated from Southeast Missouri last season after playing for their father. Lucas uncle is Ole Miss football coach Houston Nutt.

SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE TIPOFF
State finished 15-16 last season, which was the best record for the Redhawks since 2004-05. The Redhawks also had a winning record in the Ohio Valley Conference for the first time since the same year. Coach Dickey Nutt is 32-61 at Southeast, and in each of his three years the program has improved. The Redhawks are coming off a final exhibition game that they won 80-75 against Division II Truman State.
AT A GLANCE
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Tyler Stone led Southeast Missouri State in points per game, with 14.7 and 7.3 re-bounds per game last season. Stone is a former Missouri Tiger. He transferred after one year in Columbia, Mo, and now Stone enters his junior year at Southeast Missouri State as the Redhawks' most productive player.
Junior forward Tyler Stone
Prediction:
QUESTION MARK
"Every time we made a run and pushed it to 11-12 points, we could not sustain that," Southeast Missouri coach Dickey Nutt said after the 80-75 win over Truman State. "They'd cut it to five and cut it to two, and the next thing you know we're in for a dog-fight."
Kansas 84, Southeast Missouri State 52
Can Southeast Missouri State find quality shots against the Kansas defense?
The Redhawks were efficient last season, shooting .475 percent from the field. If the Redhawks have a chance to upset the No. 7 ranked Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse Friday it will be by making shots and avoiding turnovers. Tyler Stone is Southeast Missouri's most efficient player but he will have to get past Jeff Withey at the rim.

Southeast Missouri plays efficiently, making shots and avoiding turnovers, and Kansas has the same offensive problems it had against Washburn.

nfordyce@kansan.com
Following two exhibition games against Washburn and Fort Hays State, the nationally ranked Kansas Jayhawks women's basketball team is excited to play a game that actually matters as it prepares to take on the Idaho State Bengals on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.
Senior point guard and captain Angel Goodrich, who was named preseason second-team All-Big 12 after she averaged 14 points per game and a nation-leading 7.4 assists per game, said she is excited to play meaningful games.
"I'm really excited," Goodrich said. "I wish the first two were real games, but that really helped us because it allowed us to see what we needed to work on still. That just makes us even more excited for this first game."
Through the first month of practice and the two exhibition games, the focus has been on the defensive side of the court.
"From the first exhibition to the second game, you can see the transition to being more aggressive being on the ball," senior guard Monica Engelman said. "It's been the same focus point that we need more pressure on the ball and be more aggressive."
Idaho State is coming off a 24-8 record where it won the Big Sky Conference and went to the NCAA tournament, where it lost in the first round to the Miami Hurricanes. The Bengals bring back four starters including senior guard Kaela Oakes. Last season, Oakes averaged 11.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists a game for the Bengals.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said the Bengals run a lot of screens and play really well together, but if the Jayhawks can create on-the-ball pressure, it could make it difficult for Oakes to create something off of the screen.
Getting on-the-ball pressure has been stressed by Henrickson and the Jayhawks realize that they need maintain a level of focus because there is a lot going on when facing
a screening team.
"They screen a lot, so we just have to be able to see the ball and see them." Goodrich said. "Communication is a big thing."
Along with the on-the-ball defense, the Jayhawks have been working on crashing the boards as a team and not just let one or two players try for the rebound.
"We can't have only two people going for a rebound and expect them to get a rebound," Goodrich said. "Especially on the offensive end, which gives us a second
But as the Jayhawks continue to prepare and practice what they need to do, it's the excitement of the 2012-2013 season that has the team having a bounce to them.
"I think playing an actual game that is going to count, that's what's amping us up a little bit. Getting us ready for the season," Engelman said.

Darrell Royal dead at 88
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — A son of Depression-era Oklahoma, Darrell Royal came to Texas to take over a sleeping giant of a football program. Over 20 years, his folksy approach to sports and life, his inventive wishbone offense and a victory in the "Game of the Century" — where a U.S. president declared his team national champion — made him an icon of college football.
Royal, who won two national championships and turned the Longhorns into a national power, died early Wednesday at age 88 of complications from cardiovascular disease, school spokesman Bill Little said. Royal also suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
Royal didn't have a single losing season in his 23 years as a head coach at Texas, Mississippi State and Washington. Known for their stout defenses and punishing running attacks, his Texas teams boasted a 167-47-5 record from 1957-1976, the best mark in the nation over that period.
"It was fun," Royal told The Associated Press in 2007. "All the days I was coaching at Texas, I knew this would be my last coaching job. I knew it when I got here."
It almost didn't happen. Royal wasn't 'Texas' first choice.
Texas was coming off a 1-9 season in 1956 — still the worst in program history — and wanted a high-profile coach to turn things around. The Longhorns were rebounded by Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd and Michigan State's Duffy Daugherty, but both coaches encouraged Texas to hire the 32-year-old Royal, who was lying in bed the night he got the call summoning him to Austin.
"Edith, this is it, this is the University of Texas," Royal told his wife.
Royal led the Longhorns to a 6-3-1 record in his first season, but he was so sickened by Mississippi's 39-7 thrashing of his team in the Sugar Bowl that he gave away the commemorative bowl watch he received.
Under Royal, Texas won 11 Southwest Conference titles, 10 Cotton Bowl championships and national championships in 1963 and 1969, going 11-0 each time. The Longhorns also won a share of the 1970 national title, earning him a national stature that rivaled that of Alabama's Paul "Bear" Bryant and Ohio State's Woody Hayes. Royal was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983.
A public memorial ceremony is scheduled for noon Tuesday at the Frank Erwin Center basketball arena. Royal will be buried at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin, an honor typically reserved for
"Today is a very sad day. I lost a wonderful friend, a mentor, a confidant, and my hero."
MACK BROWN Texas coach
On Saturday, the Longhorns will honor Royal at their home game against Iowa State by wearing "DKR" stickers on their helmets and by lining up in the wishbone formation, which Royal used to such great success, for their first offensive snap.
"Today is a very sad day. I lost a wonderful friend, a mentor, a confidant and my hero. College football lost maybe its best ever and the world lost a great man," current Texas coach Mack Brown said Wednesday. "His counsel and friendship meant a lot to me before I came to Texas, but it's been my guiding light for my 15 years here."
the state's military and political leaders.
As a player at Oklahoma, Royal was a standout quarterback, defensive back and punter, and he credited hard work and luck for his success on the field and later as a coach. He had a self-deprecating style and a knack for delivering
pithy quotes — or "Royalisms" — about his team and opponents.
"Football doesn't build character, it eliminates the weak ones," was one of Royal's famous lines.
"Iuck is, when, preparation
"He was a guy who was so strong and so determined and so direct about things," said former Texas quarterback James Street. "He was that way to the very end."
Royal and assistant Emory Ballard changed the football landscape in 1968 with the development of the wishbone, which features a fullback lined up behind the quarterback and a step in front of two other backs.
"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity." was another.
The innovation nearly flopped. After a tie and loss in the first two games that season, a frustrated Royal inserted backup Street to take over.
"Coach Royal grabbed me and he looked for a minute as if he were having second thoughts about putting me in. Then he looked me straight in the eye and said, 'Hell, you can't do any worse. Get in there,'" Street said
Texas won its next 30 games. Soon, rival Oklahoma and other schools started using the wishbone as well.
The national title season in 1969 included what was dubbed the "Game of the Century," a come-from-behind, 15-14 victory by the top-ranked Longhorns over No.2 Arkansas to cap the regular season.
Royal was among the first football coaches in the nation to hire an academic counselor — sometimes referred to as a "brain coach" in that era — to ensure athletes went on to graduate.
Royal is survived by his wife, Edith, and a son, Mack. The couple had two other children, daughter Marian, who died in 1973, and son David, who died in 1982.
"The University of Oklahoma joins the rest of the nation in cel- ebrating the life's work of Darrell Royal," said Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione. "We've truly lost an icon — a champion, an innovator and an educator"

BAYLOR 4-4 (1-4) AT NO. 12 OKLAHOMA 6-2 (4-1)
Baylor's explosive offense had more than 600 yards of total offense last week against Kansas. This week, it faces the best pass defense in the Big 12 in Oklahoma.
The Sooners have won their last four Big 12 games, not allowing more than 21 points in a game during that stretch. Oklahoma has dominated its opponents on all three facets of the game.
Baylor coach Art Briles must strategize a game plan to limit Oklahoma. But with the Bears picking up only one win in the conference this year, it will be hard for them to walk out of Norman with a win.
Oklahoma wins, 51-24
IOWA STATE 5-4 (2-4) AT NO. 17 TEXAS 7-2 (4-2)
Iowa State's conference season has been up and down this year. The Cyclones have had quarterback Steele Jantz back for a couple of full games now, but that hasn't made a difference for them.
David Ash turned things around after a rough week before. Ash also has two good running backs in Jonathan Gray and Joe Bergeron. Gray and Bergeron complement each other well and will be the key to beating Iowa State.
Texas formed a four-game winning streak before losing back-to-back to West Virginia and Oklahoma. If Texas wins, it will have won four straight for the second time this year.
The Longhorns will dedicate this game to former head coach Darrell Royal.
Texas wins, 35-20
WEST VIRGINIA 6-3 (2-3) AT OKLAHOMA STATE 5-3 (3-2)
Coming into the Big 12 as one of the favorites to win the conference, West Virginia has slipped and is currently riding a three-game losing streak.
Quarterback Geno Smith has lost attention as defenses proved he's not invincible. He's thrown five touchdowns and three interceptions during the team's three-game losing streak after throwing 24 touchdowns and no interceptions in the first five games.
Oklahoma State has a lot of momentum going into this game. The Cowboys are in the top 10 in the nation in scoring while the Mountaineers are last in the Big 12 in defense. Running back Joseph Randle may stumble against West Virginia's defense, but quarterbacks Wes Lunt and Clint Chelf, depending on who plays, have receivers Tracey Moore and Josh Stewart to pass to against a weak pass defense.

Oklahoma State wins, 41-31
NO. 2 KANSAS STATE 9-0 (6-0)
AT TCU 6-3 (3-3)
K-State coach Bill Snyder was hopeful earlier this week that Collin Klein would play against TCU later this week. The Wildcats will need him, but even if Klein is absent, they are loaded with talent on all three phases of the game.
Cornerback Allen Chapman and kick returner Tyler Lockett captured Big 12 Player of the Week honors. The defense racked up five turnovers last week against Oklahoma State and look to help the team again by gaining takeaways.
K-State hasn't played well against the pass this season. However, K-State holds a positive 18 turnovers ratio and committed only one giveaway in its last six games. TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin will struggle moving the ball on the Wildcats.
But TCU presents a big challenge for K-State. The Horned Frogs are second in the Big 12 against the run, where the Wildcats have excelled this season. This conference matchup features the top two rust-stopping defenses in the Big 12.
Kansas State wins, 38-17

EXTINGUISHING ARSON
Police seek information regarding a string of arson cases near apartments
RACHEL SALYER rsalver@kansan.com
Lawrence public safety officials are asking the public for information about a string of arsons being investigated at local apartment complexes.
The fires were intentionally set between Oct. 19 and Nov. 4 between West 23rd Street and West 25th Street and from Iowa to Naismith Drive, according to a City of Lawrence press release.
Eve Tolefree, a fire department division chief, would not specify exact locations or dates for the arsons, citing the needs of an ongoing investigation. The
University Daily Kansan filed an open records request for more information about the suspected arsons and the investigation.
The most recent fire reported in the area was at 3:45 a.m. Sunday morning on the 1700 block of West 24th Street. Calls to the fire department for additional details were not imme diately returned.
Complexes near the area have issued notices to residents.
The notice said the fires were started using paper found in hallways or dumpsters.
"I don't know who is doing it or for what reason, but it is a really scary situation," said Ramesh Dugar, a graduate student from
India.
"They are trying to do their best for what is within their limits," Dugar said. "All I can do is just keep spreading the word and making sure follow the tips to keep things stronger and tighter."
Tips include checking smoke alarms and knowing safe exit and fire extinguisher locations. Residents should remove and properly dispose of any notices
left on their doors and properly dispose of trash in the dumpster after taking it outside. No combustible materials should be stored on patios, balconies, hallways and exit-ways.
Residents should contact property management or the fire department at 830-7000 for assistance checking smoke alarms.
Anyone with information about the fires should contact Lawrence Police at 830-7430, the TIPS Hotline at 843-TIPS or the fire department at 830-7065. All callers can remain anonymous.

Amid all the food, games, music and lights, 550 participants filled the Kansas Union Ballroom Saturday to do their part to help children coping with disease. Students stayed on their feet for 12 straight hours in honor of hospitalized kids.
The University is the second school in the country to host two Dance Marathons in a year; the first marathon was in February. Saturday's Dance Marathon raised $61,032.88, and $60,040.70 was raised during February's event, equaling $121,073.58 this year. One-hundred percent of the proceeds go to sick children and

Online classes on the rise
ACADEMICS
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
When Sarah Roberts, a graduate student from Carlsbad, New Mexico, began her online master's program in special education last year at the University, she was skeptical about how much she could get out of a class that never meets face to face. But now, in her third semester, Roberts is pleasantly surprised at how much she has gained from her online class experience.
Roberts specific program, transition services, aims to assist disabled students to adjust from secondary education to their working life. With only a few programs currently in existence, Roberts' online classmates live throughout the United States.
"One of the benefits is that you learn about transition services all over the country," Roberts said. "Everyone is a teacher."
Graphic by Trey Conrad
Julie Loats, director of the Center for Online and Distance Learning, said Roberts and her classmates are part of the University's shift to offer more classes and entire programs online.
Loats said more than 2,100 KU students are currently enrolled in more than 100 online classes taught by more than 90 faculty members. While many of these include general education classes, there are some masters' programs — like Roberts'— that are offered almost entirely online.
"Many online degree programs are typically targeted at adult populations," Loats said.
Some students use online classes to meet their disability needs or to work around schedule conflicts. And while Roberts has the flexibility to take classes face to face, she appreciates that her fellow students, many of whom work full time and have families, have access to a top-rated program. The online forum engages
all students to participate and generate thoughtful responses to the material, she said.
James Basham, a professor of special education, has taught online classes since 1999.
"For faculty, they take a good deal of up-front time to design and manage." Basham said. "Depending on how online courses are designed, they can provide flexibility so we can more easily manage our teaching, research and service schedules."
Andres Ramos, a senior from Lawrence, could not fit "Anatomy and Physiology" into his schedule last spring, so he decided to enroll in the online version instead.
"It was good for my schedule," Ramos said. "If I didn't have the online option, I couldn't have gotten a biomedical concentration."
While Ramos appreciated the flexibility his online class afforded, he did not find the course to be as challenging as he expected the face-to-face class would be.
"With the online course, you only learn in depth enough to pass the online homework, which are all multiple choice," Ramos said. "I would have gotten a better sense of how each section of the class related to each other in an actual class."
As for the future of online classes at the University, Loats expects they will be used more and more, and more classes will be utilizing both online and face-to-face interaction for learning. In the summer 2013 semester, classes will be classified as "hybrid" to reflect this combination.
Roberts is graduating next spring and she feels her online degree program will provide her valuable skills for the workforce.
"it's really built up my teaching tool kit because everyone is sharing their experiences," Roberts said.

Election shows growing diversity
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — It's not just the economy, stupid.It's the demographics the changing face of America.
The 2012 elections drove home trends that have been embedded in the fine print of birth and death rates, immigration statistics and census charts for years.
America is rapidly getting more diverse, and, more gradually, so is its electorate.
Nonwhites made up 28 percent of the electorate this year, compared with 20 percent in 2000. Much of that growth is coming from Hispanics.
The trend has worked to the advantage of President Barack Obama two elections in a row now and is not lost on Republicans poring over the details of Tuesday's results.
Romney couldn't win even though he dominated among white men and outperformed 2008 nominee John McCain with that group. It's an ever-shrinking slice of the electorate and of America writ large.
Obama captured a commanding 80 percent of the growing ranks of nonwhite voters in 2012, just as he did in 2008. Republican Mitt Romney won 59 percent of non-Hispanic whites.
we were nearly a 90 percent white nation, to the middle of this coming century, when we will be a majority minority nation."
Another trend that will be shaping the future electorate is the stronger influence of single women. They vote differently from men and from women who are married. Fifty-four percent of single women call themselves Democrats; 36 percent of married women do.
Ask white voters about the proper role of government, for another, and 60 percent think it should do less. Ask Hispanics the same question, and 58 percent think the government should do more, as do 73 percent of blacks, exit poll shows.
With women marrying later and divorcing more, single women made up 23 percent of voters in the 2012 election, compared with 19 percent in 2000.
You can hear it in the voice of Alicia Perez, a 31-year-old immigration attorney who voted last week at a preschool in Ysleta, Texas.
Suddenly, immigration overhaul seems a lot more important, for one thing.
The changing electorate has huge implications for public policy and politics.
"I trust the government to take care of us," she said. "I don't trust the Republican Party to take care of people."
Sure, the election's biggest issue, the economy, affects everyone. But the voters deciding who should tackle it were quite different from the makeup of the 1992 "It's the economy, stupid" race that elected Democrat Bill Clinton as president.
New Western states have emerged as the Hispanic population there grows. In Nevada, for example, white voters made up 80 percent of the electorate in 2000; now they're at 64 percent. The share of Hispanics in the state electorate has grown to 19 percent; Obama won 70 percent of their votes.
Obama won most of the battlegrounds with a message that was more in sync than Romney's with minorities, women and younger voters, and by carefully targeting his grassroots mobilizing efforts to reach those groups.
Look no further than the battleground states of Campaign 2012 for political ramifications flowing from the country's changing demographics.
"The minorities will vote," said demographer Frey. "The question is will their vote be split more across the two parties than it was this time?"
In North Carolina, where Romney narrowly defeated Obama, 42 percent of black voters said they had been contacted on behalf of Obama, compared with just 26 percent of whites, exit polls showed. Obama got just 31 percent of the state's white vote, but managed to keep it competitive by claiming 96 percent of black voters and 68 percent of Hispanics.
Young voters in the state, two-thirds of whom backed Obama, also were more often the target of Obama's campaign than Romney's: 35 percent said they were contacted by Obama, 11 percent by Romney.
Lilly Ledbetter, who fought for equal pay for women, will speak at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Leading feminist activist to speak at Lied Center
CAMPUS
Congress passed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and President Obama signed it into law in 2009. This act is an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and it addresses the decision of the Supreme Court in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. According to the University Press Release, Ledbetter discovered she was paid less for the same work as her male peers after working for the company for almost 20 years.
"I think it will be fascinating and very relevant," said Kathy Rose-Mockley, program director for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. "When you look at the issues of pay equity, it is just so critical for women. That is the essential component of women's freedom — being able to support yourself with a livable wage."
Ledbetter's speech, titled "And Justice for All? Why Equal Pay for Women Matters to Everyone," will be followed by a book signing of her memoir, "Grace and Grit," which was released in February and focuses on her case for equal pay.

Earthquake kills estimated dozen
ASSOCIATED PRESS
YANGON, Myanmar — A strong earthquake of magnitude-6.8 struck northern Myanmar on Sunday, collapsing a bridge and a gold mine, damaging several old Buddhist pagodas and leaving as many as 12 people feared dead.
of Mandalay reported no casualties or major damage as the nearest major population center to the main quake Mandalay lies about 117 kilometers (72 miles) south of the quake's epicenter near the town of Shwebo.
A slow release of official information left the actual extent of the damage unclear after Sunday morning's strong quake. Mymanm has a poor official disaster response system, despite having lost upward of 140,000 people to a devastating cyclone in 2008.

Gaza Strip rocket launch kills one
A Palestinian stands in a factory hit by an Israeli tank shell in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza Strip, yesterday. Hostilities along the Gaza-Israel border escalated sharply over the weekend, with bombardments from Gaza causing rare Israeli casualties and Israeli strikes killing at least six Palestinians.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israeli forces struck targets in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing one Palestinian and wounding more than 30 others as militants launched dozens of rockets in some of the heaviest fighting the area has seen in months.
The flare-up increased pressure on the Israeli government to put an end to the violence, which escalated over the weekend and could turn into a major conflagration just two months before the country's general election.
Israeli leaders amped up their rhetoric, warning Gaza's Islamic
Hamas rulers they will pay a heavy price should they allow rocket fire toward Israel to continue.
"The world must understand that Israel will not sit idly in the face of attempts to attack us," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We are prepared to intensify the response."
Nearly four years ago, before the last national election, Israel carried out a broad military offensive in Gaza to stop years of rocket fire. Some 1,400 Palestinians were killed in the operation, including hundreds of civilians. Since then, sporadic rocket fire has continued, but Gaza's Hamas rulers have largely refrained from
maior rocket attacks.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak rejected the suggestion that Israel's upcoming Jan. 22 elections could affect the government's response to the current round of violence.
"I don't think the elections have to have any effect on our response," he said. "It shouldn't cause us to refrain from acting, it's not handcuffing us. But it shouldn't provoke us to take an opportunity to launch an operation."
The coastal strip is home to numerous militant groups, including murky al-Qaida-inspired organizations that do not answer to Hamas.

Protesters fill capital streets
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUENOS AIRES — Angry over inflation, crime and corruption, hundreds of thousands of Argentines of all ages flooded the capital's streets for nearly four hours to protest against President Cristina Fernandez in Argentina's biggest anti-government demonstration in years.
In a Thursday night march organized on social media, demonstrators filled the Plaza de Mayo in front of the pink presidential palace and also crowded around the city's iconic obelisk chanting: "We're not afraid."
Protesters stayed peaceful, and the outpouring had the air of a family affair. Toddlers in strollers and grandparents in wheelchairs joined in the masses that marched through downtown Buenos Aires until nearly midnight.
People banged on pots, whistled and waved the Argentine flag. They held banners that read: "Stop the wave of Argentines killed by crime, enough with corruption and say no to the constitutional reform."
Fernandez's critics are angry over the country's high inflation, violent crime and high-profile corruption, and many worry that the president will try to hold onto power by ending constitutional term limits.
Demonstrators held up signs accusing the president of arrogance. While some featured a lengthy list of demands, others simply said "basta" — enough.

So says acting titan Daniel Day-Lewis, midway through another Oscar-minded performance in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," the latest in a long and colorful line of presidential biopics.
By Landon McDonald
Although "Lincoln" only covers the last four months of Honest Abe's life before his appointment with destiny at Ford's Theatre, Spielberg's film is a sturdy example of the traditional biopic: a historical drama that relies on towering performances and a swelling soundtrack to condense the messy confluence of a person's life into two hours of easily digestible entertainment.

The stories of our Commanders in Chief will always make for compelling cinema, perhaps because executive power itself is so enticingly cinematic. With the exception of certain athletes and inexplicably famous reality stars, presidents are the closest thing we Americans have to royalty. Their triumphs and tribulations can reflect our own power-driven fantasies. Just as theater-goers in Shakespeare's London hungered for dramatizations of kingly ambition and courtly intrigue, we too yearn for a glimpse into the public and private lives of our leaders.
Lincoln's life in particular has proven irresistible fodder for filmmakers. The great John Ford set the bar high in 1939, when he directed "Young Mr. Lincoln"
with Henry Fonda as the promising young lawyer fated to salvage the soul of a nation. The film is a largely fictionalized account of Lincoln's young adulthood, focusing on how his law practice paved the way for his actions as president.
The small screen has also been employed to great effect when examining lesser-known presidents and their impact on history. Before achieving mainstream acclaim with "The King's Speech," Tom Hooper helped the brilliant "John - Adams" for HBO. The miniseries starred Paul Giamatti as Adams and centered on the second president's ideological clashes with rival Thomas Jefferson (Stephen Dillane).
Director and professional provocateur Oliver Stone is perhaps the unequivocal authority on presidential biopics, having made no less than three of them himself. His first biopic released in 1991, "JFK", is less a meditation on Kennedy's life than a byzantine exploration of the conspiracies surrounding his death by an assassin's bullet in
Dallas. "Nixon," with Anthony Hopkins in the title role, paints Tricky Dick as a Machiavellian wheeler-dealer, fundamentally warped by his strict Quaker upbringing and an inborn lust for treachery. Both movies were praised by critics and roundly dismissed by historians as risible politicking.
Stone's "W," strategically released just prior to the 2008 election, offered a surprisingly tame (some would say toothless) analysis of George W. Bush, played by Josh Brolin as a bornagain bumber granted a clear path to the White House as compensation for years spent living in the shadow of his father and comparatively intelligent younger brother. Some attacked the film as cheap and malicious; others argued Stone hadn't gone far enough. The only effective element I can remember was Bob Dylan's "With God On Our Side" playing over the end credits.
Spielberg, one of Hollywood's true pragmatists, delayed the opening of "Lincoln" until this Friday to avoid allegations of trying to influence the election. His film, which chronicles Lincoln's frantic attempts to pass the 13th Amendment before the Confederacy's official surrender, now serves as a reminder of the presidency's unique power to refocus partisan gridlock or transcend it all together, a potential President Obama would be wise to embrace during his second term. A few public speaking lessons from Mr. Day-Lewis wouldn't hurt either.

Hey, I know you want to see, but don't stand on the benches in Allen Fieldhouse!
This university is so respectful to the United States military. Thank you, Jayhawks; I will be a fan forever. Oorah and Rock Chalk!
STOP THE WOO.
How to spot freshmen: They're the ones sitting at basketball games.
If you have to drink at a basketball game, you are an alcoholic.
Just in case anyone was wondering...
You can, in fact, hear Allen Fieldhouse
all the way to Iowa Street.
CAMPUS
All these freshmen came to the first game of the season...to throw paper airplanes around. Go back to high school.
Mad props to the guys with the letters at the basketball games. You guys are awesome.
Maybe some of you haven't figured it out yet, but we're not doing that spinning thing on free throws. It looks dumb. End of argument.
Now that Gatorade is a sponsor, are they going to start loading the T-shirt cannon with Gatorade?！
Don't worry, Withey. You're not tall. You're just big boned.
If I was a good looking girl, I would talk to loser guys on the bus just to make their day.
Sometimes I wonder if Jeff Withey actually reads the FFAs... If you do, I expect the word "bamboo" to be in the next FFA.
Hahahahahahaha Lakers.
Am I the only one who has gotten kicked off the Safe Bus?
The number of people wooing during the chant is too damn high!
Feminist Ledbetter leads by example
Sometimes I drink water just to surprise my liver.
In case you haven't read any of my columns pretty much ever, I'll go ahead and out myself as a flaming feminist. I feel like this gives some necessary context to help you understand why a little more than two months ago, when the Democratic National Convention came along, I felt as if someone had just given me a lifetime supply of kittens.
If you didn't manage to catch the DNC, I was overjoyed because of the amount of amazing women that spoke at the convention: Cecile Richards, Eva Longoria, Sandra Fluke, Nancy Pelosi and many more added their voices to a conversation and political season where women's rights and the importance of women voters rose to the national stage in a way few could have predicted. I rode the roller coaster of political feelings, going from feeling angry, to feeling uplifted, to feeling way impressed that our First Lady closed her speech with Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied."
To the couple making out in the art and design building Saturday night... I saw you.
And then, of course, there was Lily Ledbetter. A woman I paid attention to not just because she's
a leading activist in women's rights for pay equity, not just because it was she who lent her name to one of the first pieces of legislation President Obama signed after his inauguration in 2009, not just because she was a lovely and intelligent presenter, but because I knew that she was soon going to be at the University of Kansas today at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Jana Mackey Lecture Series.
By Katherine Gwynn
kgwynn@kansan.com
The Jana Mackey lecture series was established by the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity in honor of Jana Mackey, a former student at the University of Kansas who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend in 2008. Jana received an undergraduate degree in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University and studied at the KU School of Law, as well. She was incredibly involved in Commission on the Status of Women, the University's feminist group, was an advocate and frequent volunteer with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, and was a believer in true equality. Jana was, in short,
Looks like the out-of-staters are finally getting to experience Kansas' five-minute weather principle.
a woman whose life no one ever thought would be cut short by domestic violence.
She was intelligent, passionate and a testimony to the fact that in a culture where we breed hate and discrimination towards women and gender-nonconforming individuals, violence is perhaps the only facet of life that does not discriminate.
The Jana Mackey Lecture Series was established to bring speakers to campus to advocate on the injustices facing women that Jana spent her life living. Now, some might question why Lily Ledbetter is speaking—what does receiving a paycheck less than your male coworker and being brutally murdered have to do with one another?
But pay equity relates to domestic violence because instances of oppression do not exist in isolation to one another. Rather, they are interwoven, building layers and layers of injustice to strengthen systems that work against equality and human dignity. Unequal pay and domestic violence are just two of the ways that gender discrimination manifest itself.
Program Director for the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity Kathy Rose-Mockry said, "We selected Lilly Ledbetter as our speaker this year because she exemplifies all that Jana stood for - her grit, determination and commitment to taking a stand when confronted with inequity and discrimination."
When we live in a society where those who are not biologically male, and identify as men, and behave "appropriately" masculine, are considered weaker, we must recognize that inequal pay does lead to domestic violence. That it says in either instance, "you are less, and deserve less, because of who you are."
fangirl, and I'm totally going to be front row and center at Lily Ledbetter's talk. But, whether or not you consider yourself particularly well-versed in politics or feminist rhetoric, I highly encourage you to go, and not just those of you who identify as women. When a person is oppressed because one category of their identity is deemed as "less", it sets a precedent for treating others as "less". It perpetuates the idea that some are worth more simply for being male, or straight, or white, or able-bodied—the list continues on and on.
Obviously, I'm a feminist
So, if you're pretty okay with the idea of human dignity, I'd suggest you check out the talk. I can't promise Beyonce will be incorporated — though I'll keep my fingers crossed — but I can say that I'll think you'll come out educated, empowered and maybe even a little bit pissed. A winning trifecta, in my opinion, for affecting change.

POLITICS
Americans meant to be equal
Elections officials in Florida tallied up the votes on Saturday-four days after the rest of the nation managed to count theirs—thus bringing the election season to a close.
No more debates, no more attack ads, no more millionaire politicians asking for $5 hand-outs and no more Facebook posts from your friends offering their best political punditry.
We are finally finished with this "historic election", but what's so historic about this one?
By David Scott
dscott@kansan.com
Here come the Girl Scout Cookies!
For starters, America's first black president was re-elected. With the election of Barack Hussein Obama, a very distinct message was sent to every one who resides in this country: Racism is officially 100 percent unacceptable. Granted, many of us already knew this. However, the election, and re-election, of a black person to our highest office reinforced this fact like no other achievement could.
I agree with Young Jeezy. They should put President Obamas face on the $5,000 dollar bill.
Secondly, Obamacare will be the law of the land, and healthcare is now a right. As the debate is now over, I would like to put to rest one asinine argument.
They bemoan entitlements and redistribution, incorrectly identifying them as the apparatuses of socialism or the harbingers for
In the warped minds of many conservatives, the extension of heath care to all citizens infringes upon personal liberty—a liberty grounded in classic American Liberalism that promotes self-determination and rugged individualism.
I believe that with the perfection of cloning, some people will finally be able to date who they want. Themselves.
the end of America. They forget that their prized ideology extends to all, not just themselves, and that self-determination falls beyond the scope of civil rights. It is a human right.
In America, we do not have to prove our political rights—such as our rights to free speech, to vote, and to protest. As U.S. citizens, we are all equal—every one of us.
Our social rights are universal, too. These rights guarantee our right to subsistence sufficient to survival and independence. Gwendolyn Mink, professor at Smith College, said, "Where political rights assume equality among the individuals who possess them, social rights enable equality by countervailing inequalities among individuals."
Even the most hardened leftist must admit capitalism has won. In fact, most liberals surrendered to this idea soon after World War II, rendering conservatives' charge of "socialism" incorrect and inane.
Because of the viscous nature of capitalism, a system that inherently creates winners and losers, social rights mitigate the damages done to those who don't "win."
The lame protest that health care for all infringes on liberty
stems from twisted logic and an un-American spirit.
The charge comes from a place of privilege—a privilege bestowed upon middle to upper class Americans by a not-so-free market, which has historically granted subsidies to big businesses, decimated cities and created the urban poor. Capitalism inherently breeds inequality. As is said in economics, "There's no such thing as a free lunch." Privilege comes with a cost, and it's more than one pays by merely working hard. There are externalities, and entire populations have become just that.
Independence and self-determination is a fundamental right for every American, not for the middle and upper classes alone. To reserve this right for a segment of our population resembles aristocratic notions America's founding fathers despised the most.
Scott is a graduate student majoring in American studies from Overland Park. Follow him on Twitter @dscott12.
So those that have the privilege of a higher education, the means to raise a family and opportunity for a career need to honestly look themselves in the mirror—there they will find their missing liberty.
By broadening the rights of all, such as extending health care to every citizen, we come closer to achieving the ideas our country cherishes the most: the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Until every American has this right, we still have work to do.

living in this day in age, I have come to love hiphop music. I'm not talking about Lil Wayne, Drake, or Tyga, I'm talking more about the old school, smooth sounding music. I like the lyricism, the creative beats and the all around funky sound it holds.
There have been many prominent individual careers and groups that have made hip-hop what it is today. Including Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z and others. But only Wu-Tang Clan changed hip-hop as much as they did in the early '90s. And this upcoming year may see its innovation again.
Now, the eight-man rap group has announced it is getting back together after a short stint of individual careers, to make another album. Its first album to ever be released has been out for sale for nearly twenty years now. Although, it has been five years since the group has released a full album, in 2007, it has plans to make another album for release in 2013.
The clan originally began as a nine-man group and it was something that has never happened in hip-hop before. But ever since the death of Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB) in 2004, it has been reduced to an eight-man group.
This album has the potential to be huge. With each member having very successful solo careers, there is a lot of talent going into the album. But this could also pose some potential problems as well. Because each member has made it big with their own individual styles, their ego could kick in and that could

As the Clan's one song "Triumph" goes, "Wu-Tang is here forever." And it seems that they were right.
The news is great for the world of hip-hop. The sound of hip-hop has recently changed, but if the clan can successfully create a good sounding album while bringing back its old sounding flow, then the more recent artists will have some good competition to keep up with. It will force the artists to put all their effort into their music.

I just don't see that happening, though. I think the Clan can make a comeback with this album. The release will be the 20th year anniversary since the group's breakout album "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 chambers)" was released. Every member displays dedication to the group, especially RZA, who has the group's logo tattooed on his left arm. They all still have that same love for the group and want to make the album the best they can.

MILITARY
Veteran to return to study at KU after deployment
SARA SNEATH
ssneath@kansan.com
Currently deployed to Afghanistan, Zach Hertzel, a junior from Lawrence, works as a flight medic for the Kansas Army National Guard. His daily routine consists of waking up to ready a Black Hawk, a kind of helicopter that is used like an air ambulance, which he flies to transport U. S. casualties to the hospital.
Last semester, while enrolled in 18 credit hours, Hertzel spent several nights a week in Salina logging hours of flight training for this deployment, but that didn't stop him from keeping his resume-worthy G.P.A. at the University of Kansas.
Veteran's Day — celebrated on Nov. 11 — is a national holiday to recognize all military veterans who have served or, like Hertzel, continue to serve. There are currently about 360 KU student veterans receiving veteran education benefits, according to the KU office of Veterans Services. Two of these students are currently deployed; Hertzel is one of them.
Hertzel joined the Army National Guard in October 2007. A Lawrence native, his desire to be an Army
medic began at an early age.
"Since I was a kid, I've always wanted to be a medic. My grandpa told me about the medic who saved his life in Vietnam." Hertzel said.
However, his wife, Laura, said Zach's path was not as clear as he leads on.
"His mom told me when he was growing up, he hated needles and heights," Laura said. "They thought it was pretty ironic that he became a flight medic."
Zach and Laura got married last July, after meeting three years ago at a gym where Zach was a personal trainer.
"My dad wanted me to sign up for a gym membership," Laura said. "One of the things that they sold at the gym was two free sessions with a trainer. Well, for whatever reason, I ended up taking the sessions. Zach trained me for two months and ended up asking me out after that."
Zach and Laura have an 11-week-old baby boy, Calidan. Zach was present for the birth, but left for deployment three days after. Laura said she takes Calidan's footprint every month and sends it to Zach.
"I never really thought either way about marrying someone in the military." Laura said. "When I met him
Admittedly, Hertzel's story sounds like something off an Army recruiting commercial. He has the fast-paced job, the G.P.A., and a newborn baby boy to boot. Hertzel attributes his success last semester to understanding TAs and professors, who allowed him to make up work outside of classroom hours, especially the TA for his human anatomy lab, Kin Chan.
and found out he was in the Army, it was just another aspect that I liked and admired."
The professor of Hertzel's anatomy class, Dr. David McLead, said Hertzel always came in to his office hours to study.
"I would miss that class all the time because I would be doing night flights in Salina. He was great. He knew his stuff, and he'd always stay late with me," Hertzel said.
"Zach was a great student," he said. "Personable, motivated and hard working."
Hertzel said the help he received from this class has extended beyond the semester.
"Human Anatomy Observation Lab helped me out a lot," Hertzel said. "As a flight medic, it can be very traumatic at times. We deal with a lot of amputations. This class
Garrett Moe, a senior from Newton, met Zach four years ago on the KU rowing team and served with him in the Army ROTC. Moe said Hertzel has made him a more determined person.
gave me great knowledge of where things should be and where things shouldn't be."
In 2008, Moe spent a six-month deployment working at Guantanamo Bay. He said the transition from active duty to college was difficult.
"When you get back to civilian side, you have to seek out information," Moe said. "It doesn't jump at you like on the military side. Not wearing my uniform everyday was different. My fiancé had to teach me how to dress."
"I saw him doing all that stuff and I didn't see why I couldn't do it too," Moe said.
Although Moe will not be at KU for Zach's return — he leaves in May for military flight school — he had advice for those welcoming veterans back from deployment.
"I would just say be there," Moe said. "Let them know that you're there."

'Taking Back Mondays' involves crowd
IDYLAN LYSEN
"It started out playing mostly metal," Brabender said. "As a band, we started to think about all the songs we wanted to cover, and it went back to not only metal, but to what we listened to in junior high school—punk and emo."
dlysen@kansan.com
Late on a Monday night, the streets are empty in downtown Lawrence, but the fast-paced beat and nonstop lyrics of the punk rock song "Devotion and Desire" blare from The Bottleneck, a bar at 737 New Hampshire Street.
But Bayside, the New York band that made the song famous, isn't performed. Instead, Lawrence punk rock band Sovereign States (formerly known as My Brother, The Vulture) is performing its weekly punk karaoke show, "Taking Back Mondays."
With a new genre of music being covered came a new name to the event, changing from Metal Mondays to Taking Back Mondays this past month. Brabender said that
Since early summer, Sovereign States — vocalist Alec Hernandez, guitarists Cameron Birdsall and Jon Marzette, bassist Brett Crawford, and drummer Quinn Brabender — perform most Monday nights at The Bottleneck. The band isn't playing its original music, but covering pop-punk and emo songs that fans request to sing along to. The band focuses on playing songs of the pop-punk genre that were popular when they were in high school, including songs by Bayside, Fall Out Boy, Sum 41 and Taking Back Sunday, which is where the name of the event comes from.
Sovereign States drummer Quinn Brabender said that Taking Back Mondays originally started as Metal Mondays. The idea was to cover metal songs and get people to come hang out on a Monday night, which is generally a slow night for the bar scene.
since changing the name, more fans have shown up to the event.
During the event, fans that come to hear their favorite songs are encouraged to get on stage and sing along, as if Sovereign States was their own personal band.
"When we play live, we like to have people on stage and sing along with us," guitarist Jon Marzette said. "There will be, like, 30 people on stage with us instead of us just playing at people."
The band said they learned about 40 songs. The event has a Facebook page where fans can request songs for the band to learn and then play at the event for the fans to sing along to.

"It's definitely a group involve-
Ben Goodrich, a senior from Texas, said he came to the second Taking Back Mondays and came back because of the nostalgia, noting that he thought it may seem embarrassing to remember the lyrics to the songs, but he had to go on stage and belt it out.
"It's a good time," Goodrich said. "You get to hear all your old jams from when you were in eighth grade when you were all ansty. Why not bring back that ol' pre-teen angst?"
ACADEMICS
Conference draws in perspective architects
KU architecture students are not just working to construct buildings; they're building their program. In Kansas City, the University and its architecture program welcomed nearly 300 architecture students from 13 states on Nov. 2 to Nov. 4 for the 2012 American Institute of Architecture Students Midwest Quad Conference. The conference showed the area's diverse architecture and the University's recently top-ranked graduate program by Midwest architecture firms.
"Because of the conference, students are more inclined to choose the University for their post-secondary
education," said D'Andre Curtis, a graduate student from Detroit, Michigan.
The three-day event included tours of Kansas City architecture firms, a masquerade ball with professionals in the field and a tour of the program's Studio 804 run by professor Dan Rockhill. Rockhill's studio at the University allows architecture students to design actual houses as part of their coursework.
Patrick Bayer, president of the KU AIAS chapter, worked with 12 of his staff members for more than a year to prepare for the conference.
Bayer said.

"It let everybody know there are innovative things happening in Kansas within the field of architecture."
Rachel Keeven, a senior from O'Fallon, Mo., gained greater insight into the field by partaking in the conference. Despite living in the Midwest, she learned Kansas City not only has several architecture firms but also great architecture to appreciate. And after next year, she hopes to have completed her master's degree in the program and enter the workforce.
"I love that we have great faculty that knows how to motivate us to figure out who we are as individual designers," Keeven said.

In honor of Veterans Day, some athletes who served in the military
PAT TILLMAN
After honoring our veterans yesterday, I have put together a list of professional athletes who have served in the military. These men were either academy graduates or decided to put their professional careers on hold to fight for our country.
By Andrew Morris
amorris@kansan.com
BOB FELLER
The former Arizona Cardinals safety played the entire 2001 season before quitting the NFL to become an Army Ranger. Tillman played four seasons in the NFL, including an All-Pro season in 2000. The former Arizona State player was a seventh-round draft pick and managed to amass 238 tackles during his short professional career. Tillman fought in the initial invasion of Iraq before being redeployed to Afghanistan. He died on April 22, 2004, at the age of 27. His sacrifice earned the former NFL player a Silver Star and a Purple Heart.
Feller was the first of many baseball players to volunteer for service after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The Indians great served for four years on the USS Alabama before returning to Cleveland. Feller finished his Hall of Fame career as one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history with 266 wins and more
than 2,500 career strikeouts. He won the 1948 World Series and finished his career with three career no-hitters.
Arguably the greatest hitter in the history of baseball, the Red Sox legend left professional baseball in 1942 to join the Marines. Williams hit for the Triple Crown twice in his career, and is the last player to hit above .400 in a season. After fighting in World War II, Williams returned to baseball before serving again in the Korean War. The Baseball Hall of Fame inducted Williams in 1966, and he became a member of the Major League Baseball All-Century Team in 1999. Williams passed away in 2002 at the age of 83.
JACKIE ROBINSON The first African-American player in
TED WILLIAMS
MLB history was a member of the Army during WWII. This player broke the color barrier in professional baseball, and is often credited as being selected because he could take the abuse he was sure to get. During his time in the military, Robinson served in a segregated unit until he was court-martialed for refusing to move to the back of a bus on a military base. The Dodger great went on to change sports history, along with winning an MVP and a World Series title. Robinson died in 1972 at the age of 53, but in 1997, his legacy was honored when every MLB team retired his jersey number, 42.
DAVID ROBINSON
The best basketball player in Naval Academy history was drafted first overall by the San Antonio Spurs in 1987. Robinson, nicknamed the "Admiral," fulfilled his active-duty obligation with the Navy before joining the Spurs in 1989. The Admiral won the 1995 MVP award and was named as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history in 1996. He won his first NBA Championship in 1999 before ending his career by winning the 2003 NBA Finals.
KU
ROGER STAUBACH
The Dallas Cowboys drafted the 1963 Heisman Trophy winner in the 10th round
of the 1964 NFL Draft. Staubach, a graduate of the Naval Academy, served one tour of duty in Vietnam before returning to professional football. During his 10-year career, Staubach won two Super Bowls and five NFC Championships. Along with being honored in the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor, Staubach threw for 153 touchdowns and more than 22,000 yards to earn himself a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.

Jayhawks win despite poor shooting performance
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
They say a win is a win, and that's all that matters.
And on Sunday evening, the Kansas women's basketball team might have just proved that statement right. The Jayhawks beat the Idaho State Bengals 52-36 in their opening game of the season in Allen Fieldhouse.
Throughout the game, there appeared to be some kind of lid over the basket. The Jayhawks shot just 30.8 percent on a 20-of-65 shooting performance.
"Good news, we won," coach
Bonnie Henrickson said. "The bad news, I'm certain it's going to look a let worse on film than live, and it looked real bad out there."
It wasn't just on the first try that the Jayhawks couldn't find the net; they couldn't convert the second, third and sometimes the fourth shot. either.
The Jayhawks had 22 offensive rebounds, a statistic that normally puts points on the scoreboard.
"Typically, your first shot is a 30 percent shot, second shot is a 60 percent shot and your third shot is an 80 percent shot," Henrickson said. "Not today, that stuck at 30, second and third one."
For the shots that did fall, seniors Carolyn Davis and Monica Engelman led the Jayhawks with 10 points each. Engelman pointed out that the subpar shooting was related this game being the first of the season.
"You kind of get the jitters and are uptight a little bit," Engelman said.
Davis had an efficient game as she had got her 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting. She also grabbed eight rebounds in just 18 minutes of playing time.
Henrickson said Davis could have played longer, despite doctors recommending 20 minutes over
the course of the game. However, since the Jayhawks' lead had grown in the second half, there was no point in making her play more than what she did.
Davis, who is coming off an ACL injury from a year ago, has continued to look better every day. And Henrickson said that Sunday's game was good for Davis.
"Everyday is progress with her, and it's good for her," Henrickson said. "They tried to shove her around a little bit, and that's going to happen to her."
The physical play of Idaho State is something that senior point guard Angel Goodrich, who had seven points on 3-of-8 shooting, four rebounds and three assists, looks at as a good way to open the season.
"They were feisty, and we needed to see that," Goodrich said. "It only makes us better on being able to see what we need to do to improve on our weaknesses and get better at."
Knight had seven points, two rebounds and two assists on the evening. Sophomore forward Chelsea Gardner had six points and nine rebounds coming off the bench. Also, junior forward Tania Jackson added six points and seven rebounds off the bench.
But even with the stat sheet stuffed, particularly in the rebounding category — Kansas out-rebounded Idaho State 51-39 — Henrickson wasn't pleased with the rebounding, especially out of the guards.
"We didn't get any effort or toughness," Henrickson said. "It's easy to get one when there is no one around you, but how about you go and get one in traffic. Then you're a really good rebounder and we didn't have enough of that."
The Jayhawks held the Bengals to 11 points in the first half on 5-of-27 shooting. The 11 points in the first half were the lowest ever by a team Henrickson has coached. Also, the 36 points allowed was the sixth fewest given up in Kansas
Sophomore guard Natalie
history.
But Henrickson is quick to point out it wasn't all because of the javhawk defense.
"Idaho State struggled, and at times, it was because of us, and other times, it wasn't because of us," Henrickson said. "I was impressed that they came in here and said, 'I don't what league you play in. We don't care how many games you won or that you're ranked or not.' They came in here, and they were physical and tried to push us around."
The bad shooting day by the Jayhawks doesn't faze Henrickson, because she knows the team is capable of performing at a much higher level in future games.
"We know we're better than that,
Henrickson said. "We know we can
play better than that. It's a game
that's going to help us, and we can
grow from that."

Cross country teams finish season at Midwest Regional
The Kansas cross country season ended on Friday afternoon at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships, despite great performances from freshmen Gabe Gonzalez and Hanna Richardson.
ANDREW MORRIS
amorris@kansan.com
Although it was a strong season, both teams missed qualifying for the national meet after failing to earn an automatic bid or earning one of the at-large bids.
CROSS COUNTRY
The men's team finished outside of the automatic qualifying spots for Nationals, but the team, led by Gonzalez, finished sixth at the championships Friday.
Gonzalez finished the 10K race in
24th place with a time of 30:58.76.
This finish earned Gonzalez United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Region honors, the first ever for a Kansas freshman under the current regional format.
"The men's strength all season has been our close distance from one to seven, and I think that showed today," coach Stanley Redwine said. "It was Gabe's turn to be the leader today, and I thought he turned in a really solid race."
The top five Kansas runners finished within 37 seconds of Gonzalez, including senior Donny Wasinger, who finished in 35th place. Wasinger, from Winona, Minnesota, has been consistent all year; he is the only one to be among the team's top-two finishers in every race this season.

The race was run at a slow pace making for a large lead pack during the first half. Sophomores James Wilson and Reid Buchanan helped to round out a large contingent of Jayhawks in the lead pack until Gonzalez used a late kick to pass his teammates for Kansas' top finish. The men's team finished with 194 points, its best score at a regional event since 2007.
The women's team was led by senior Kathleen Thompson, who finished the women's 6K race in 12:55.73 for a 47th place finish. Kansas' Richardson finished just four seconds behind Thompson for a 54th place finish.
"It was a good race for Kathleen today," Redwine said. "She went out and did the things that we told her she needed to do."
Richardson's successful first year with the Jayhawks continued on Friday as she became the first freshman since 1997 to finish a regional meet among the team's top-two finishers. The Jayhawks finished with 367 points to finish in 13th of 31 teams.
"As a team, we didn't have the quality of depth to contend with some of the top, but our future is definitely premising," Redwine said. "We're excited about what Hannah Richardson did this year, and if we continue to get people healthy, the team will be in great shape."

Jayhawks let lead slip away, fall to Longhorns

The Jayhawks had a two-sets-to-one lead against the Longhorns, but they weren't able to hold on during the meet on Saturday. With the success this team has experienced this season, redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc wouldn't even entertain the idea of a moral victory.
"No," Jarmoc said. "If you have the possibility to win, then you win. It doesn't matter what the team's ranked. We didn't finish, we didn't execute to the fullest, and we didn't win the match, so no moral victories."
After holding late leads in two sets during its 3-0 loss to Texas on Oct. 12, coach Ray Bechard said his team committed to beating Texas in Lawrence when it came for the rematch.
12 For the first three sets, it looked like Kansas would accomplish just that. Texas committed four service errors in the first set alone, and had seven service errors after three sets. Buoyed by junior libero Brianne Riley's return after missing the Kansas State match Wednesday due to injury, the Jayhawk back line outdug Texas by 12 during the first three sets.
The Longhorns used four players listed as 6-foot-3 or taller, hoping that by hitting the ball at steep angles with brute force, the Jayhawk defense wouldn't be able to dig the attack. But Kansas responded well to the Longhorns' physicality in both the attack and the serve. Riley finished with a match-high 26 digs and sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers added 14. Those two, coupled with senior defensive specialist Morgan Boub and junior defensive specialist Jaime Mathieu, extended multiple rallies by digging Longhorn attacks when it seemed like the ball was headed for the ground.
needed for the ground.  Riley and
Riley and Albers also contained Texas sophomore outside hitter Haley Eckerman's powerful line drive serve. Eckerman didn't record an ace until the fourth set. This
helped the Jayhawks to side out at 62 percent for the match.
Brianne Riley said that assistant coach Todd Chamberlain tried to help the team practice for Eckerman's serve.
"If you have the possibility to win, then you win."
However, Bechard said the Jayhawks didn't do a good job of converting digs into attackable balls.
"Pretty difficult, it comes a lot faster than you think," Riley said of the serve. "We practiced it at practice, we had Todd spin at us, but she's a lot better than Todd."
"A lot of that was the opportunity, when we did dig a ball up, did we convert to a kill?" Bechard said. "We just didn't dig enough balls to our setter to where we could convert."
Jarmoc led the Jayhawks with six kills in the fourth set, but Texas also blocked four of her attacks.
In the fourth set, the Longhorns blocked eight balls, while Kansas didn't block any. Texas hit a smooth .375 during the set, while Kansas hit .025 with 10 kills and nine attack errors. Both Jarmoc and Bechard said Kansas didn't do a good enough job of converting kills in transition during the final two sets.
"There was two blockers following me around everywhere I was going," Jarmoc said, "The coaches kept telling them to set me, and it's difficult when you're a middle. The ball's fast-tempoed,
CAROLINE JARMOC Junior middle blocker
and you're supposed to hit past a 6-4 girl and a 6-3 girl. It's difficult, and that definitely influenced the fourth set."
In the fifth
and final set, Texas scored three straight points to turn a 5-5 deadlock into an 8-5 lead. Because the final set is first to 15, Kansas didn't have enough opportunities to erase the three-point deficit. The Jayhawks twice closed Texas' lead to one point, but Texas just responded with another three-point run the second time.
The Longhorns won the fifth set 15-12, giving them a 3-2 victory and at least a share of the Big 12 title with a 13-0 conference record. The loss dropped Kansas to 21-6 and 9-4 in Big 12 play. Although the loss ended a brutal five-match stretch of the Jayhawks' schedule, Riley said the Kansas team wouldn't hang its hat on just playing tough in those matches.
"I don't have many moral victories, not really my thing," Riley said. "A wins a win, and we didn't get that tonight, so it means we go into the gym and practice harder on Monday."

Oklahoma hosted a Baylor team driven to pull an upset in Norman, Oklau., but Oklahoma kept its composition under difficult times and survived with a win.
The Oklahoma running backs carried the team in the first half. Brennan Clay opened the game with a touchdown reception and rushed for one touchdown, while Damien Williams added one of his own on the ground early.
The Sooners took a 28-17 lead at halftime and encountered a couple of problems. Two early second-half turnovers resulted in a touchdown score for Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk. Seastrunk scored three touchdowns and was one of three running backs for the Bears to rush for at least 60 yards.
But the Sooners had a large cushion and got a big touchdown from Blake Bell to win. The Sooners never trailed in this game.

When Oklahoma State started backup quarterback Clint Chelf, some wondered whether Oklahoma State could win at home against a West Virginia loaded with talent on offense. It turned out Chelf would get the job done.
Chelf threw four touchdown passes against West Virginia, two of them to Josh Stewart. Stewart pulled in 13 catches for 172 yards. Stewart also rushed for 46 yards for a touchdown on a trick play.
But Oklahoma State still had to deal with West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, who returned to his old form, throwing for 364 yards and two touchdowns on 36 completed passes. Both Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin had more than 10 catches, which included one in the end zone. Bailey had a field day on the Cowboys defense with 225 yards receiving.
But the Cowboys defense stepped up in the second half and shut out the Mountaineers in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys went on a 17-0 run to end the game and pick up a win.

Collin Klein ended up playing after questions rose whether or not an injury would keep him out of Saturday's game. Klein pulled through and gave Kansas State a big win.
Klein got off to a slow start when he threw an interception to Devonte Fields on his second pass attempt of the game, but Klein bounced back right away with a rushing touchdown on the following drive. He finished with two in the game.
The Wildcats were perfect on defense for three quarters as they shutout the Horned Frogs until the fourth quarter. Kansas State also got help from Texas A&M when it defeated Alabama, giving Kansas State a great chance to make the national championship game.

GLASS HALF FULL
Kansas clawed back from a 10-point leficit in the fourth quarter, kicked a ying field goal and stopped Tech from winning on a field goal much like Texas did in Lawrence two weeks ago. It was the first time Kansas played tough for 60 minutes all season.

Passing is still nonexistent for the offense, but it seems like Kansas coach Charlie Weis has come to terms with that. The problem is when you face a prolific passing attack and give up 501 yards to it.
NOTES
GOIN' BAND F
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN
STUPID
On the first play of the second quarter, TTU quarterback Seth Doege fired a pass to the left corner of the end zone straight to Tyson Williams.
FOOTBALL
It was a terrible decision by Doege. Williams was completely covered by Kansas' Tyler Patmon, except Patmon never turned to see the ball, and it glided straight into Williams' hands.
Verdict: Bad
DELAY OF THE GAME
A few long, official reviews in the fourth quarter and overtimes broke the rhythm of the game, but kudos to the zebras for getting the calls right.
This week is a tie. Not only did running back James Sims set a Kansas school record with his sixth straight hundred-yard performance and score two touchdowns, but Tony Pierson also rushed for 202 yards on 16 carries. Collectively, the tandem put Kansas on its backs.
GAME BALL
LOOKING AHEAD
Kansas will play its final home game of the regular season on Senior Night this Saturday. It also could be the Jayhawks' best chance to notch another win this season. Kansas hasn't given up more than 25 points at home, and Iowa State averages just 22.
FINAL THOUGHT:
Given that it was on the road, you have to rank this game as the best — if not top two — performances from Kansas this season. Seeing what James Sims and Tony Pierson can do when they're both at 100 percent is a scary scene. Everyone knew Kansas was going to run, and there was still nothing anyone could do.

Kansas falls to Texas Tech in double overtime
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousougian@kansan.com
After a season full of woes and mishaps in the second half of Big 12 road contests, Kansas traveled to Texas Tech and ended the game in double overtime, giving the Red Raiders a 41-34 win.
Unlike the first three Big 12 games on the road, the Jayhawks prevented a blowout. However, the defense gave up 41 points for the second-straight week.
The Jayhawk defensive backs had their hands full while trying to defend Texas Tech wide receivers Eric Ward and Darrin Moore. Even though cornerbacks Greg Brown, Tyler Patmon and JaCorey Shepherd needed a lot of safety help from Bradley McDougall and Lubbock Smith, the Jayhawks still struggled to keep up with the Red Raiders receiving corps.
"They do a great job of spreading the ball out," McDougald said. "There's no real dominant receiver they have and that's the beauty of their offense. They use the whole field and run a lot of
underneath routes to bring the safeties down and it leaves the receivers on the outside much more space to make plays."
Ward caught 11 passes for a career-high of 156 yards while Moore's gameday included seven catches for 66 yards and a touchdown in overtime, which helped seal the win by a perfectly executed trick play in double overtime. The two receivers alone had more catches than the entire Kansas roster.
Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege had a field day as he completed 42 of 54 passes for 436 yards and three touchdown passes. Doege got off to a quick start when all three of his touchdown passes came in the first half. Even though Doege didn't score in the second half, he moved the ball well against the Jayhawks defense with the help of his receivers.
Kansas had a hard time defending Doege's passes, and at times, didn't expect them. Patmon perfectly covered Texas Tech wide receiver Tyson Williams in the back of the end zone early in the
second quarter. However, with his back to the Doege, Patmon wasn't aware of the pass, which allowed Williams to make a play in the end zone to take a 14-7 lead.
Doege's fast start looked like it would translate into big numbers, but Kansas defensively gained momentum. When the offense returned to the field, it came up with scores of its own.
One of the biggest plays for the defense was McDougald's interception on the drive after Doege's third touchdown throw.
"We just settled in." McDougald said. "The beginning of the game is usually the toughest time. Coach Weis always talks about stop the bleeding. I just dropped back and put myself in a position to catch the ball."
McDougald's swipe in the second quarter was the only turnover of the entire game. Kansas went on a 10-0 run to end the first half as Texas Tech went three-and-on on its only position after the giveaway.
But Doege still managed to move the ball and put the Red
Raiders in position to pull off a win, even though it took two overtime periods. The Kansas defense appeared to be worn out near the end of the game with keeping up with Doege and when nearly the entire defense bit on the trick play, which created an easy pass from Eric Stephens to a wide open Moore in the second overtime period.
Despite another loss for Kansas and its 19th consecutive conference loss, Weis saw one of the best games he's seen from his players. While players are usually given 24 hours to forget about a loss, he wanted all of the players, including the defensive backs, to move on and get ready to play Iowa State for the final home game of the season.
"At the end of the day, our team played like a legitimate team and tried to gut it out through a complete four quarters," Weis said.

OFFENSE
The Jayhawks' offense is as one-dimensional as can be — but it works. Kansas ran the ball 57 times for 390 yards and two touchdowns while only attempting 15 passes and completing six of them. For what it's worth, Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege had as many receiving yards as Kansas did passing.
Grade: B
DEFENSE
Kansas wasn't the only one-dimensional team on the field. Texas Tech attempted 61 passes on 22 rushes, earning 501 of its 571 yards through the air. It wasn't the best day for the Jayhawks' secondary team, but they it Kansas a chance to win. Grade: B
Grade: B-
SPECIAL TEAMS
Grade: B+
From not being able to send a field goal kicker onto the field to splitting the uprights to tie the game, not too shabby. Still plenty of work to be done on this unit, but Ron Doherty averaged 37 yards per punt, and Nick Prolago notched two field goals. Dare I say improvement?
COACHING
Not bad play calling on offense — although there isn't much to choose from — but the defense looked like it was waiting for the TTU receivers to make a catch before it did anything about it. Three Tech wide outs gained more than 50 yards while five made plays of 20 yards or longer.

COMMENTARY
Defense will be key
This concept seems like a no-brainer because Bill Self preaches defense. Well, Kansas has young players, and usually the defense takes a bit longer to adjust. Sophomore guards Ben McLemore and Naadir Tharpe and freshman forward Perry Ellis had no problems.
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
Tharpe's on-ball pressure was crucial when senior guard Elijah Johnson picked up early fouls to send him to the bench. McLemore, known more for his offensive game, swatted the ball three times and tied senior center Jeff Withey by grabbing 12 rebounds. Ellis didn't have much in the stat sheet, but he committed only one foul and altered many shots around the rim.

The veterans did their jobs,
too.
The men's basketball season has officially begun. Kansas battled Southeast Missouri State and won 74-55, but the victory was no easy feat. The Jayhawk offense didn't seem to be clicking. When the offense lagged, Southeast Missouri State continued to battle, getting within six points in the second half.
Despite the lack of offense, one thing became evident: Prepare for defense.
Withey continued to be a defensive force, recording five blocks, getting 12 rebounds and committing zero fouls. Senior guard Travis Releford's on-ball pressure caused a few steals and turnovers.
Yes, the opponent wasn't top 25 caliber. Elijah Johnson fouled out in few minutes. Kansas only forced 12 turnovers. Yet the defense still played extremely well and picked up the slack for the dismal 9.5 three-point percentage.
The offense will get there, but if there was a choice to have better defense or offense to start the season, the choice would always be defense. The offense can be fixed easier than the defense, and with a young Kansas team, this has to be a positive going into the big showdown against Michigan State on Tuesday.
Edited by Megan Hinman
Still, while teams can hold opposing offenses to low field goal percentages, those teams must also rebound. The Jayhawks easily covered that with 49 rebounds, compared with the Redhawks' 37.
All of these individual performances were necessary, and they reflect on Southeast Missouri State's field goal percentage.
In Self's nine seasons at Kansas, the Jayhawks have led the Big 12 in field goal percentage defense seven times. Last year, the team finished first in the Big 12 and third nationally with 38 percent.
Against Southeast Missouri State, the Jayhawks held the Redhawks' field goal percentage to 29 percent. In the first half, the Redhawks shot only 20.7 percent from the field. Even the Redhawks' three-point percentage was extremely low, at only 25 percent.

Jayhawks continue to fight, but lose in overtime
RI AKE SCHISTER
bschuster@kansan.com
LUBBOCK, TEXAS — Kansas coach Charlie Weis knew how the game was supposed to end — it was already drawn up in his head. Kansas would score on its possession in the second overtime, and instead of kicking a tying PAT, he would go for two.
If the Jayhawks were stopped, so be it, but the game would end on Weis' terms.
Well, Kansas lost 41-34 in double overtime to Texas Tech, yet it was on TTU coach Tommy Tuberville's terms — with Kansas only gaining a yard on its final drive and failing to convert on fourth-and-nine.
"If we scored right there, we were going for two," Weis said. "I told the defensive coaches, 'This is going to be it. Either way, we're going to try to end this right now.'"
Instead, the winning play came from TTU senior running back Eric Stephens, who took a direct
snap at the 3-yard line, shuffled a couple steps to his right and tossed a hop pass to a wide open Darrin Moore in the right corner of the end zone, as TTU had the first possession in the second overtime.
Tuberville elected to kick a PAT.
"When you're in overtime against a good football team, it's anybody's game," Weis said. "It's no longer about who's at home and who's on the road. It' s who makes that one more play."
That one more play — the hoped-for two-point try — could have gone to junior running back James Sims. After all, Sims already scored two touchdowns and broke Laverne Smith's 1974 school record with his sixth straight game rushing more than one hundred yards — he finished with 135 yards.
Sims was the reason Kansas even made it to the second overtime. On second and goal in the first overtime, quarterback Michael Cummings found Sims alone on the goal line and caught him in
stride walking into the end zone.
Fittingly, it was the same route that Cummings missed Sims on with a chance to tie the game at 21 right before halftime.
"When I saw he was open, I knew I had to get it to him, and
I wasn't going to miss this time," Cummings said. "I just had to calm down and make a catchable ball for him."
Or Weis could have given that one more play to his other
running back, sophomore Tony Pierson. It was Pierson's 69-yard run early in the fourth that sparked a 10-point Kansas comeback to force overtime.
Pierson almost went 72 yards to the end zone before exhaustion set in, and he was tripped up at the three-yard line.
play hard on me, so I just gave them a head fake and went straight up the middle," Pierson said. "I looked up on the Jumbotron and see a guy behind me, and credit to him, it was a nice play"

both their top running backs on the field and healthy at the same time.
Sims gashed up the middle of the Red Raiders' defense, while Pierson's speed allowed him to continually turn the corner on the outside.
"You have your choice: Do you soften up the defense by pounding them inside, or do you try to get speed on the edge?" Weis said. "By putting both of those guys out there at the same time, it gives you an opportunity to do both simultaneously which gave us a chance to win the game."
The Kansas offense was one dimensional, but then again, so was its ranked opponents'. Of the 571-yards TTU gained, 501 came through the air.
The reality is that the Jayhawks have gone sans victory in their last 19 Big 12 games. Yet with one more play, a new streak could just as easily have begun.
"At the end of the day, our team played like a legitimate team and tried to gut it out through a complete four quarters," Weis said.
It was the first time the Jayhawks played tough for 60 minutes this season; unfortunately, they needed to hang in a few more to steal a win.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Young hopes to bring energy
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
When senior forward Kevin Young returns to the men's basketball team in its game against Michigan State in Atlanta Tuesday, the team will hope he can provide the missing piece to fix its early-season woes.
"He's our best talker." Self said. "He can direct traffic from talking, and we're the quietest team, and that's what's going to get us beat is how quiet we are."
Without Young, the young Jayhawks aren't communicating and haven't been as aggressive as coach Bill Self wants them to be.
Young injured his hand in practice Oct. 25 when he collided with freshman guard Andrew White III while they were chasing the same rebound.
Both players charged toward the basket, but the ball took a long bounce off the rim, causing the players to run into each other.
Young underwent surgery the next day, but had to sit out Kansas'
two exhibition games and its season opener against Southeast Missouri State on Friday as he recovered.
While Young recovered, he watched how his teammates played and tried to figure out how he could fit in once he returned.
So far, the Jayhawks' offense has found a tendency to fall into lulls at certain, sometimes crucial, points of games. They were fortunate to scrape by on their talent, but scraping by will be harder when the Jayhawks play against more talented opponents.
"I'm focusing on keeping the energy up the whole game," Young said. "I do run a lot and I do talk a lot, so I think that it'll be pretty easy to help the team push the energy level up."
Freshman guard Ben McLemore said Young's presence will help the Jayhawks play on a high-octave level on both ends of the floor. He thinks the energy Young brings will inspire the team to develop a more aggressive mindset.
Young also wants to make more
of a mark in this year's Champions Classic. Last year against Kentucky, he only played two minutes because he hadn't fully established himself and his role with the team.
"I didn't get to play too much," Young said. "I know it was really early in our season, like our second game, so I'd like to change that."
Without Young available, the Jayhawks pulled out a 12-point victory against Division II Washburn, and against Southeast Missouri State, they saw their second half lead shrink to six before rallying in the game.
— Edited by Joanna Hlavacek
"I hate not having Kevin on the court," senior forward Elijah Johnson said. "When Kevin's on the court, it's somebody that I feel like I try to keep up with. He's so far ahead of the game, and he just never stops. Whenever Kevin's on the court, that always gives me extra momentum."

Gentlemen, ready your mustache!
November is a health awareness campaign that encourages men to grow out their mustaches during the month of November. Not to be confused with No Shave November, November was created to help men aware of men's major health issues like prostate and testicular cancers.
INVOLvement
Students are campus participants in November for personal reasons or simply to support their fellow men.
Mason Moore, sophomore from Highland Park, III has been protesting his mustache for about 20 months for November. Moore participates in November Underwaters on his case, there isn't much hope for the high silhouette and he needs his rightly brave.
November is a good thing to know that men can use facial hair for their health. Care and the face another guy with a mustache during this month might be more inclined to believe he's using an mustache as a way to provide sweepstakes.
If Care could grow any type of mustache, it would be worth offering an extremely dark mustache according to Mr. Poet does, but unfortunately he can't give a perfect answer.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among American men after with cancer. One of our men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during my life in 2013, so cancer 241,416 cases of prostate cancer will develop by 2017.

Code talker receives degree
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Sixty years after he last enrolled in a class at the University, Chester Nez, the last living member of the original 29 Navajo code talkers who served during World War II, received his diploma Monday morning. Nez studied at the University for three years under the GI Bill until his funding ran out in 1952.
"Getting that sheep skin is a wonderful thing that's happened," Nez said, referring to the degree. "It's something that I've been looking forward to, and it's finally happened."
During a ceremony held in Lied Center Pavilion, Danny Anderson, dean of liberal arts and sciences, presented Nez with his degree in fine arts. Anderson praised Nez's dedication to education and his military service before conferring Nez with a diploma.
"It is unfortunate that KU was unable to help Mr. Nez complete his degree

Degrees are rarely conferred on former students without all of their coursework being completed, said Sarah Rosen, vice provost of academic affairs. But after a
monthlong process, the faculty senate approved the degree based on Nez's coursework completed, extenuating financial circumstances and talents as a code talker demonstrated during World War II, Rosen said.
Nez's situation was first brought to the attention of the University by Kansas First Lady Mary Brownback after meeting Nez at the Kansas Book Festival in September.
"Some of his education occurred out of the classroom, and I think it sends a message about how we honor our vets," Brownback said. "And KU recognizes that."

CAMPUS SPEAKER
Equal pay activist speaks at Union
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING rschlichting@kansan.com
KU students, members of the community and women's rights supporters filled Woodruff Auditorium for Lilly Ledbetter's lecture, "And Justice for All? Why Equal Pay for Women Matters to Everyone," last night in the Kansas Union. Ledbetter, a women's rights activist, fought against discrimination and unequal pay in the Supreme Court in 2006.
"When you look at the issues of pay equity, it is just so critical for women," said Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of programs at the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity. "That is the essential component of women's freedom, is being able to support yourself with a livable wage."
Ledbetter talked about her experiences facing discrimination in the workplace. She grew up in a poor county in Alabama and worked hard to achieve the American dream., landing her ideal job as a first line manager in production for Goodyear Tire & Rubber.
After 19 years of service, someone left her an anonymous note that said she was making 40 percent less than the men working the same job and motivated her to fight for equal pay. Three years later, her court case against Goodyear made it to the federal court and was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2006.
"The law was on my side," Led.
"This is critical that families are paid fairly," Ledbetter said. "There are so many women out there today who are struggling, working two full-time jobs."
The lecture was part of the Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series. The Jana Mackey campaign advocates for victims of domestic violence and supports gender equality. Jana Mackey was a former KU student and women's rights activist who died in 2008 as a victim of domestic violence. Her parents, Curt and Christie Brungardt, started the campaign to honor their daughter. They introduced Ledbetter at the lecture.
Evan Traylor, a freshman from Edmond, Okla., said the lecture gave people information about how they can find out about equal pay and why this is an important issue for everyone.
"Equal pay is something we don't really think about in this day and age, but it's definitely something that still happens and continues to happen." Traylor said. "Not being paid for the same work because of a difference in gender isn't right."

In 2009, President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. The act addresses the Supreme Court's decision and Ledbetter's fight for equal gender pay.

Student Health Services kicked off its first Support Movember campaign on Nov. 6. They will be taking pictures of men sporting mustaches and women wearing fake ones today in Anschutz Library from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The goal of the campaign is to break the stereotype that men are too tough to go see a doctor and get their annual health checkup.
Students are encouraged to sport their mustaches on Nov. 28 in honor of KU Mustache Day.
Final pictures can be taken on Nov. 27 from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Nov. 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The photos will be made into a mustache-shaped collage that will hang in Anschutz Library, the Kansas Union and Student Health Services.
Ken Sarber, a public health educator, said that students are encouraged to take action and responsibility, and participating in November is a way to do so.

In this detail of a courtroom sketch, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, center,
is shown Nov. 5, during a preliminary hearing in a military courtroom at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.
Trial continues in Robert Bales case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. — Through a video monitor in a military courtroom near Seattle, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales saw young Afghan girls smile beneath bright head coverings before they described the bloodbath he's accused of committing.
He saw boys fidget as they remembered how they hid behind curtains when a gunman killed 16 people in their village and one other.
And he saw dignified, thick-bearded men who spoke of unspeakable carnage — the piled, burned bodies of children and parents alike.
From the other side of that video link, in Afghanistan, another man saw something else — signs that justice will be done.
"I saw the person who killed my brother sitting there, head
down with guilt," Haji Mullah Baraan said Monday in an interview with The Associated Press. "He didn't look up toward the camera."
Baraan was one of many Afghan witnesses who testified in Bales' case by live video link over the weekend.
"We got great hope from this and we are sure that we will get justice," Baraan said.
Prosecuters say Bales, 39, slipped away from his remote base at Camp Belambay to attack two villages early on March 11, killing 16 civilians, including nine children. The slayings drew such angry protests that the U.S. temporarily halted combat operations in Afghanistan, and it was three weeks before American investigators could reach the crime scenes.
Bales faces 16 counts of premeditated murder and six counts of attempted murder.

$2 bil in diamonds stolen in Zimbabwe
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VICTORIA FALLS, Zimbabwe
— At least $2 billion worth of diamonds have been stolen from Zimbabwe's eastern diamond fields and have enriched President Robert Mugabe's ruling circle, international gem dealers and criminals, according to an organization leading the campaign against conflict diamonds.
Zimbabwe's Marange fields have seen "the biggest plunder of diamonds since Cecil Rhodes", the colonial magnate who exploited South Africas Kimberley diamonds a century ago, charged Partnership Africa Canada, a member of the Kimberley Process, the world regulatory body on the diamond trade.
Zimbabwe's eastern Marange field — one of the world's biggest diamond deposits — has been

mined since 2006 and its vast earnings could have turned around Zimbabwe's economy, battered by years of meltdown and political turmoil, the group said. But funds from the diamond sales have not showed up in the state treasury. Instead, there is evidence that millions have gone to Mugabe's cronies.
The report, released Monday to coincide with the Zimbabwe government's conference on the diamond trade here in Victoria Falls, casts a shadow over the Mugabe regime's effort to win international respectability for its gem trade. Government officials at the conference denied the report's allegations as "totally false."
Mugabe pledged that Zimbabwe will soon have new law to ensure greater transparency and accountability in order to boost the "international reputation of our diamonds,"
In this Nov. 1, 2006 file photo, miners dig for diamonds in Marange, eastern Zimbabwe. At least $2 billion worth of diamonds have been stolen from Zimbabwe's eastern diamond fields and have enriched President Robert Mugabe's ruling circle, international gem dealers and criminals, according to an organization leading the campaign against conflict diamonds.
Opening the conference, Mugabe said his government is committed to observing "international laws on diamond mining, storage and trading."
The report condemns the Mugabe government's control of the Marange diamond fields which have made Zimbabwe a major player in the international diamond trade.
"Marange's potential has been overshadowed by violence, smuggling, corruption and most of all, lost opportunity," the PAC report said.
"The scale of illegality is mindblowing," and has spread to "compromise most of the diamond markets of the world," said the report.

Implications of marijuana legalization to be studied
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — Two U.S. state decisions to legalize marijuana will have important implications for international efforts to quash drug smuggling, four Latin American leaders declared on Monday.
Mexico, Belize, Honduras and Costa Rica called for the Organization of American States to study the impact of the votes in Colorado and Washington and said the United Nations' General
Assembly should hold a special session on the prohibition of drugs by 2015 at the latest.
"It has become necessary to analyze in depth the implications for public policy and health in our nations emerging from the state and local moves to allow the legal production, consumption and distribution of marijuana in some countries of our continent," Mexican President Felipe Calderon said after a meeting with Honduran President Porfirio Lobo, Costa
Rican President Laura Chinchilla and Prime Minister Dean Barrow of Belize.
Marijuana legalization by U.S. state governments is "a paradigm change on the part of those entities in respect to the current international system," Calderon said.
The most influential adviser to Mexico's next president, who takes office Dec. 1, questioned last week how the country will enforce a ban on growing and smuggling a drug now legal under some state laws.
Mexico has seen tens of thousands of people killed over the last six years as part of a militarized government attempt to destroy the country's drug cartels.
President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto has promised to shift the government's focus to preventing violence against ordinary citizens, although he says he intends to keep battling cartels and is opposed to drug legalization. Guatemala's president has advocated the international legalization of drugs.

Unconventional lyrics stir up rap scene
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
After releasing several singles over the past few years, Seattle hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis dropped their studio album debut, The Heist, in October. Macklemore is a Seattle-based rapper who has been known around the Seattle area since the early 2000s, but in 2009, he garnered tons of buzz when he and his best friend/producer Lewis released The Vs, EP.
If there's one word to describe Macklemore, it's passionate. He raps with great emotion and conviction throughout the album. Macklemore is a very impressive lyricist on nearly every track. He often raps about subject matters that other rappers wouldn't.
On "Same Love," he lyrically delves into gay marriage, religion and homophobia in hip-hop. In the track, he even remembers
On the tracks "Wings" and "Thrift Shop," he talks about materialism. He touches on fashion in the latter, sharing his passion for shopping at thrift stores. He even compares clothes he bought at thrift stores to high-fashion clothing like Gucci.
when he questioned his own gender preference when he was a kid. Mary Lambert sings the hook, and it's easily the most passionate and emotion-filled hook on the entire album.
In "Wings," he discusses sneaker culture, talking about everything from the price of the sneakers to people actually getting killed over them.
Ryan Lewis produced every track on the album and for the most part, it's solid. The production on the album is different from the typical rap album. Instead of standard 808 drums, Lewis uses an array of live music instruments in his beats. He uses instruments
that you would typically hear in a svmphony like violins and piano
A majority of the beats that Lewis crafted fit the concepts Macklemore was aiming for perfectly. The production does get overly poppy at times on songs like "Gold" and "White Walls". Both tracks' instrumentals sound like something straight out of Radio Disney. Nothing against pop music, but those instrumentals just don't fit the vibe of the rest of the album. The annoying instrumental on "Gold" completely overshadows Macklemore's message. "White Walls" also features a guest verse from Schoolboy Q which feels awkward and out of place.
Moments like these trip up the album's pace but fortunately doesn't take away from it as a whole.

TELEVISION
'Reality Show' draws attention
DANE VEDDER
dvedder@kansan.com
It's about time reality television gets real. Adam Rifkin, the writer, director, executive producer and star of the new Showtime series, "Reality Show," whole-heartedly agrees.
"Reality Show" is a darkly hilarious satire that follows a down on his luck television producer, Mickey Wagner (Rifkin), who is in desperate need of a new hit to revitalize his career. The eight episode miniseries focuses on Mickey's criticisms of reality television, which he claims to be "scripted, over-exaggerated nonsense." He wants to let real human behavior unfold before the cameras, what he calls a "reality reboot."
Chris DeLange, a sophomore from Olathe, said he interested to see what direction the miniseries will take. "I was drawn to the show because I really hate reality TV and the popularity behind it," DeLange said. "I liked thinking about reality TV from a different perspective."
The production team puts an unsuspecting American family under all-encompassing surveillance, monitoring them day and night without their knowledge. Aside from being completely illegal, Mickey's master idea for capturing truly candid behavior has one flaw: reality can be boring. Constant pressure from the network demands more drama and sizzle from the family, so the pro
PAGE 4
ducer decides to augment reality himself by introducing obstacles into their lives.
In the first episode, the family embarks on their slow spiral into chaos when the film crew hastily decides to steal their dog. The family responds with an afternoon of searching and crying—exactly what the network wants. As Mickey observes the drama unfolding, he pushes himself and the family to their wit's end for the sake of ratings. These small disruptions escalate quickly and cause a series of ripples Mickey did not anticipate.
In an interview with Channel Guide Magazine, Adam Rifkin explains how he conceived the idea for "Reality Show". "Originally I didn't want to satiize reality television because it's too easy of a target; like prowrestling, it's a parody of itself", Aftin said. "But when I explored it from the view of people who make reality television, the idea shifted tone. It got darker, more sinister."
As the series continues, the unsuspecting family's artificial trials of adultery, drug abuse and career failure spin them further into chaos, leaving fans wondering what will finally break the newest stars of reality television. "Reality Show" will continue to air at 11:30 every Thursday night on Showtime.

Puppeteer accused of inappropriate relationship
CRIME
NEW YORK — The puppeteer who performs as Elmo on "Sesame Street" is taking a leave of absence from the iconic kids' show in the wake of allegations that he had a relationship with a 16-year-old boy.
Puppeteer Kevin Clash has denied the charges, which, according to Sesame Workshop, were first made in June by the accuser, who by then was 23.
"We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action," Sesame Workshop said in a statement issued Monday. "We met with the accuser twice and had repeated communications with him. We met with Kevin, who denied the accusation."
The organization described the relationship as "unrelated to the workplace." Its investigation found the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated. But it said Clash exercised "poor judgment" and was disciplined for violating company policy regarding Internet usage. It offered no detail.
"I had a relationship with the accuser," Clash said in a statement of his own. "It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to characterize it as something other than what it was."
Sex with a person under 17 is a felony in New York if the perpetrator is at least 21. It was unclear where the relationship took place, and there is no record of any criminal charge against Clash in the state.
Clash, the 52-year-old divorced father of a grown daughter, added, "I am a gay man. I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter.
"I am taking a break from Sesame Workshop to deal with this false and defamatory allegation," he said.
Neither Clash nor Sesame Workshop indicated how long his absence might be.

Playing the field can be rewarding
In retrospect, though, the path on which I pushed my flimsy green car, which my pink and blue peg family kept falling out of, seemed eerily reflective of how society normally views the dating game: as a narrow path with hardly any accepted alternatives in which it is impossible to finish without getting married.
Generally, we place value on monogamy and put it on a pedestal like it's something to be admired, desired and eventually achieved. While a successful relationship resulting in a successful marriage is many times viewed as winning some sort of dating game, we as young adults who are entering the phase of "Are you getting married soon?"
should take a timeout from fulfilling our great aunt Whoever's dreams of tying the knot, tarry awhile and play the field when we have the chance.
According to blog, Science of Relationships, playing the field, or casually dating a number of people simultaneously, is an instinctual desire, especially for men, because everyone has an innate want to (ahem) produce offspring. This idea may manifest more so in men because they subconsciously want to mate with as many people as they can.
Scientifically speaking, playing the field makes less sense for women because our role in reproduction is much more difficult and complicated. Because of this, women do not play the field to the extent that men do because they tend to be evolutionarily disadvantaged by not having a partner stick around to care for the child in question.

Though society has evolved from its former hunter-gatherer
By Rachel Keith

ways, it still tends to view playing the field and not settling down as surprising, selfish, irresponsible and borderline unacceptable. But in our corner of the earth in which reproductive and contraceptive technology is advanced and widespread, the risks of dating multiple people at a time who use contraception are much lower.
So then I have to ask, what's the problem? Instincts are strong forces, but if our egos generally keep us in check, why can't we accept playing the field as legitimate?
With that being said, I need
to clarify that I in no way am endorsing "playing" a person, or purposefully having someone believe that he or she is the only object of the other's affection at that time. What I am saying is that playing the field can be a rewarding experience.
In fact, if we're new single or are thinking about entering the dating scene again, matchmaker and author of the book "It's Complicated (But It Doesn't Have to Be)" Paul Carrick Brunson said that playing the field rather than settling down with one person from Day One can be beneficial to everyone because it allows people to see and experience dating with a variety of individuals and choosing between them.
This process makes us more aware and opinionated about the qualities we look for, both wants and non-negotiables, in partners and may make us wind up having more successful relationships in the long run if we eventually wish the partake.
Finally, it is also beneficial, Brunson said, because if you're looking to settle down some time, you need to know that those potential partners are worth your undivided attention. If they aren't, we're better off going back to dating around.
Dating doesn't have to be as narrow as a path as the one you take in LIFE, so don't make it be. Share an appetizer with a cute neighbor at Teller's and score a cocktail and flirt with someone you just met at a bar. Everyone needs to stop minding the naysayers and start seizing the day because whether you are eventually looking for something exclusive or not, at least you can have a good time getting there.
No matter what your "dating style," you may regret it in the end if you don't.

Social media gives voice to everyone
After Hurricane Sandy hit the northeast, many Americans were out of power and stranded for days on end. What became the main voice inside the natural disaster was that of social media, specifically the platforms of Twitter and Instagram.
According to news reports from CNN and Mashable, nearly 1.3 million pictures were uploaded to Instagram. The most popular hashtags that incorporated twitter with Instagram, were #sandy and #hurricansandy. These two in particular, gained 800,000 and 478,396 pictures respectively.
By Brett Phillippe
bphillippe@kansas.com
Another big gain for Instagram was with the hash tag #frankenstorm which gained close to forty eight thousand pictures. Compared to other Instagram explosions over the years, it is easy to see that this was by far the biggest one in recent memory. According to an article from Mashable, the biggest one before this happened at the Superbowl last year where it was a measly 85,000 pictures uploaded with the hash tag #Superbowl.
What this shows us in particular, is that with the power out for much of the area, many news organizations were not able to show the rest of the nation what is going on in the most affected areas. The social media platforms
of Instagram and Twitter gave these citizens the opportunity to be the field reporters and be the eyes and ears for a first hand look of the damage. They say pictures tell a thousand words, and through all of these thousands of pictures we were able to see first hand narratives from families and friends, to celebrities and sports stars helping out the cause.
It was in moments like these that we could really see the heart behind social media communities like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. The ability to connect with one another and share pictures and memories, even in the face of tragedy, can at the very least give us a little bit of hope. We get to see communities on a regional, national, and even global scale sharing photos and support. But this isn't where it stops. Along with the community of sharing pictures and status updates comes along a community willing to give to organizations that are on the ground helping out
our fellow man in the affected areas. Examples of texting to the American Red Cross or tweeting to the American Red Cross gives citizens the ability to help out those directly affected have given us an inside look at how we can use social media and our technology to help those in times of crisis and need.
Now, even though there has been such an positive support from field reporters posting Instagram photos and tweets, there has been some negativity. There have been numerous reports of various people posting photoshopped pictures or even using shocking photos that were not current. Even though it may seem that these select individuals have been trying to ruin the Instagram experience with crude jokes and unrealistic photos, we can be sure that the vast majority of the images shown on Instagram were truthful.
With all that said, we can see that not every photo submitted is of good, but at the same time not all of them are bad. That is the thing with social media, not all is positive, not all is negative, but with platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube, we all have a voice, even in times of crisis, as well as times of peace.

SATIRE
If Romney had won the election...
A week has now passed since the people of the United States chose to re-elect President Obama for a second term. The grass seems a bit greener, the air a bit cleaner, and the nation's morale is on the up-and-up. We've got four more years of Obama ahead of us, and we're going to make the best of each one. However, what would have happened if Mitt Romney had been elected on Nov. 6?
Things would be very different, my friends, very different, indeed.
First off, the national budget would already be miraculously balanced, and the nation's debt paid in full. This was a huge campaign issue, and something Obama has been struggling with since he came to office four years ago. Our man Mitt would've been in there fist fighting his opposition and running his enemies into the ground with his bare hands.
We all know that Mitt has had some issues in the past with "flip-flopping" back and forth on hot-button issues, but hey, who doesn't change their mind on abortion now and again?
He's a simple guy, and that's why he's so likeable. right? We need someone who's going to listen to the people of this nation, and although Obama has quite the set of ears on him, maybe we're better off with Mitt.
Children would be laughing and frolicking outside in the November sunshine without the threat of insurgents invading their homeland, unlike that awful looking "Red Dawn" remake, thanks in part to Mitt's innovative initiative and upping our military's presence in foreign countries. You can bet that before Romeny's term would be over we would be looking at at least four new American colonies in the Middle East. One step closer to world domination, reminding the world that, "The sun never sets on the American Empire."
But wait, if Mitt had been elected, could anything bad have come of it?
By Brett Crawford
bcrewford@karser.com
By Brett Crawford bcrawford@kansan.com
Let's say Mitt goes a bit power crazy and starts making little amendments to the Constitution. It starts slowly; a correction here, a slight change there, next thing we know he's declared himself King of America and there's nothing we can do about it. All because some senator thought the rider he was adding to some new law was just helping little Billy from Hoboken, N.J., get to school a little easier while his mom's off at work. How can we trust someone to run our country when he didn't even win his own state in the election?
What would become of all those stuffed into Mitt's "binders full of women?" A group of fringe youths bent on justice would band together with their iPads and smartphones and create a movement like the world has never seen before. They would use their parent's money to drop out of state colleges and tour the nation raising awareness for these women, who would become known as the "Women of Bindage," hoping only to free them from Mitt's mighty mitts.
Either way you look at it, there are pros and there are cons. Politics are born of dissent and disagreement, but we're all in it together. In short, I think we all know who the real winners are, and that's every state but Florida, because for once we all didn't have to wait for our retired grandparents to figure out how to count the votes before resting easy that the right man made it into the White House.

C
1. Kansas State (9-0)
Kansas State remains No. 1 in the Big 12 rankings and holds the No. I ranking in the BCS. The Wildcats must finish the season strong against Baylor and Texas to win the Big 12 and earn a spot in the BCS Championship game.
QU
2. Oklahoma (7-2)
Baylor gave Oklahoma a run for its money on Saturday, but the Sooners pulled through with a win. Coach Bob Stoops is happy with the win and wants his team to end the season on a high note in hopes of playing in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
3. Texas (8-2)
Quarterback David Ash put up big numbers against Iowa State's defense this past Saturday and gained a lot of confidence from this game. The Longhorns best bet is making it to the AT&T Cotton Bowl after the regular season.
OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY
4. Oklahoma State (6-3)
Even backup quarterback Clint Chelf started, Oklahoma State had no problem outscoring West Virginia. The Cowboys high-scoring offense has elevated the team this season.
T
5. Texas Tech (7-3)
After a nervewracking double overtime win against Kansas, Texas Tech is still in the top tier of the Big 12. Coach Tommy Tuberville is thrilled with the success this season, considering the low expectations the media had for the Red Raiders.
TCU
HORNED PROGS
6. Texas Christian (6-4)
Texas Christian had a rough week against Kansas State. The conclusion of the season will still challenge the Horned Frogs, giving coach Gary Patterson his first full season of experiencing the Big 12.
W
7. West Virginia (5-4)
There is not much to say about West Virginia. Coming off a season where the Mountaineers were victorious in the Orange Bowl, Geno Smith and company have moved in the wrong direction.

8. Iowa State (5-5)
9. Baylor (4-5)
Iowa State's grueling season can flip in the final two games. The Cyclones are playing Kansas and West Virginia, both who have struggled within the conference. If Iowa State capitalizes against one or both of those teams, it will give them a boost before the season ends.
BAYLOR BEARS
Baylor was in position to pull off its second conference win of the season on the road at Oklahoma, but fell short. Baylor is not favored to win any of its final three contests, but coach Art Briles wants to go into the offseason with at least one win against one of the three ranked teams ahead.
KU
10. Kansas (1-9)
Coach Charlie Weis likes the effort he saw from his players on Saturday. If Kansas can end the home schedule with a win on senior night, it will mean a lot to Weis and all the players after a long season.

THE
BIG12
National title game not certain for K-State
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The Big 12's attention is on Kansas State's national championship dreams, yet there is plenty left to be decided in the conference over the final weeks.
Six teams are bowl eligible, with Iowa State, West Virginia and Baylor still battling for chances to fill out the league's bowl slots.
Kansas State (10-0, 7-0 Big 12) can clinch at least a share of its first conference championship since 2003 with a win Saturday night at Baylor. The Wildcats moved into the top spot in the Bowl Championship Series rankings after Alabama lost to Texas A&M.
"We're just honored to be there," Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said Monday. "I'm just going to encourage our guys to not change the way we approach things and try to stay grounded."
With conferences limited to two teams in BCS bowls, four schools from the Southeastern Conference currently ranked in the top 10 will be left out, opening chances for teams like No. 13 Oklahoma and No. 18 Texas. If Kansas State gets the league's automatic berth, the Sooners and Longhorns would be eliminated from consideration for at-large berths with another loss.
"There's a lot of scenarios by the end of the year for everybody. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said, "Everybody wants to define it already. Let's face it, everybody had Alabama already going undefeated and that didn't happen. So there's a lot that's going to happen in the next 2-3 weeks. There's a lot of scenarios."

A: 42 points against Fresno State

THE MORNING BREW Johnny Manziel deserves to contend for Heisman Trophy
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
They call him "Johny Football". He leads a top 10 team in the Southeastern Conference. He makes plays that are only seen in video games. He's only a freshman. Texas A&M quarterback Johnman Manziel is quickly making a name for himself. Outside of his eye-popping numbers, Manziel has been able to find a way to get the job done. Whether it's with his arm or his legs, he has captured the nation's attention, especially after knocking off previous number one ranked Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
One play against the Crimson Tide serves as a microcosm for just what "Johnny Football" has been so far this year. On third and goal from the 10-yard line, Manziel dropped back to pass against the Alabama defense. With the pocket collapsing, the ball was popped up into the air out of Manziel's hands. Calmly, Manziel tracked down the ball, rolled to his left, and found a wide-open receiver for a touchdown.
It almost seemed like an early sign that the Aggies would defeat the Crimson Tide. There was a different feeling to that game. That's what "Johnny Football" provides.
Manziel is one of the most watchable
players in college football. He makes instinctual plays that others simply cannot make, and he's done it against the highest level of competition. He has the 'it' factor, the poise and playmaking ability. And again I remind you, he's just a freshman.
Make sure to tune in the next time Texas A&M plays. You may be watching a future Heisman Trophy winner.
BCS SHAKE-UP ON THE HORIZON
The BCS National Championship picture could get interesting.
With just two weeks left in the regular season, the remaining undefeated teams -
Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame - face a tough road to the title game.
Number one ranked Kansas State may have the easiest track to playing for a BCS Championship. The Wildcats play a road game at Baylor, and finish the season at home against Texas. It's hard to think the most disciplined and well-coached team in college football would slip up with a title on the line. Coach Snyder's boys will be ready to go in each contest, and will also benefit from not having a conference championship game to play.
Second-ranked Oregon faces two ranked teams in the final weeks and would face another ranked opponent, either UCLA or USC, in their conference title game. While the Ducks have proved they can handle the highest competition, they have no simple task ahead of them.
Notre Dame has played superbly on defense and well on offense to maintain its unblemished record. The Fighting Irish could also benefit from not having a conference championship game, but still have to go on the road against USC to end the season. Notre Dame appears to be on the outside looking in, and would need some
KU
help to sneak into the BCS National Championship game.
Regardless of the outcome, any combination of the three would provide for an entertaining matchup. Oregon boasts the number one offense while Notre Dame has the number one defense, each based on points per game. Kansas State is top 15 in both categories and leads the nation in turnover differential.

Rose and Hanson win Tyco Golf Skills Challenge
Rose and Hanson, teammates on
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Justin Rose of Britain and Peter Hanson of Sweden won the Tyco Golf Skills Challenge at the Breakers on Monday.
this year's Ryder Cup-winning European team, beat recent U.S. Ryder Cup rivals Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley in the Reverse Scramble finale on a breezy day to secure the title.
Ryder Cup feel during the final event. "The only Ryder Cup element would be a teasing one, maybe a gentle joke or something like that."
"it crosses your mind a little bit," Rose said when asked if there was any
The Reverse Scramble went to two tee-offs before being decided in a chip-off. Hanson chipped to within 2 feet, 10
inches of the hole, beating out Bradley's chip that was 3 feet. 6 inches away.
"The biggest skill today was survival," Rose said. "The weather was kind of tough."
The other teams that took part in the event were Zach Johnson and Kyle
Stanley, and Mark O'Meara and Mark Calcavecchia. The six skills were: long drive, mid-iron, bunker shot, chip shot, trouble shot, and short iron.
Hanson and Rose, making their inaugural appearance at this event, only won one of the six skills: the bunker shot.
They earned $285,000 in the made-for- TV event that will air on NBC on Dec. 29 and 30. Johnson and Bradley won $223,000 for taking second place.

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks enter their Champion's Classic game against Michigan State coming off a win in their season opener; however, the win was an ugly one that saw the Jayhawks make just two of their 21 3-point attempts. When that game is put next to a pair of underwhelming exhibition games, it's easy to see that Kansas has a lot to work on throughout the season if they want to compete for their ninth straight Big 12 Conference Championship.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Senior Forward Kevin Young
Young returns to the Jayhawks line-up after missing two weeks with a broken bone in his hand. If he truly is healthy and able to contribute, his energy will be a welcome boost to a team that has found its offense struggle at times to get going.
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
"They may practice in football pads and helmets tomorrow, and our guys want to practice with pillows."
-Bill Self
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF.
The Jayhawks establish an early presence inside. Michigan State is a physical team, so Kansas must prove it can take a punch and get back up early on. Physical was never missing from the Jayhawks when Thomas Robinson was down low, but since he's left, they haven't shown the same attitude
QUESTION MARK
The four seniors all have extensive experience in big time matchups, but they will also employ many players that have never played on a big stage before. If the young guys come out playing nervous, the layhawks could find themselves facing an early deficit.
How will the Jayhawks respond to the big arena atmosphere?

Eliiah Johnson, Senior Guard
Johnson was the Jayhawks most disappointing player in the season opener, scoring just four points and touling out of the game in 22 minutes of play. The team won't be able to survive another game like that from Johnson against a talented and aggressive team in Michigan State.
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
Senior guard Elijah Johnson quickly passes the ball to an open teammate before a Southeast Missouri State opponent can steal the ball. The Jayhawks defeated the Redhawks at Allen Fieldhouse on Friday 74-55.

PETER AUGUSTUS
Releford had a miserable shooting day against Southeast Missouri State, making just three of his 11 shots, but what really hurt the Jahawks was his team-leading four turnovers, not something the team wants to see from the guy they expect to be the second ball handler on the court.

PASCAL ROBERTS
BEN MCCLELLEN, FRESHMAN SUNDAY
McClellen has shown his athletic ability on multiple occasions with his high-rising dunks. His ups will be especially important for gating rebounds against a Michigan State team that's bigger and tougher than any opponent Kansas has faced this season.

Ellis
Perry Ellis. Freshman Forward
Ellis became the first freshman to start the season opener for the Jayhawks since Xavier Henry in 2009; and he did not disappoint, showing his scoring touch with 15 points. The Jayhawks will need Ellis to be aggressive offensively, drawing fouls and putting to the free throw line.
M. MORRIS
★★★★☆
Jeff Withey, Senior Center
Withey will need to boost his physicality up a notch against a tough Michigan State front court. While Withey will be the tallest player on the court whenever he's in the game, the Spartans trot out a pair of forwards that both outweigh the senior center.

STARTERS
0-0
Keith Appling, Junior Guard
Junior point guard Keith Appling tends to play big in big games. Last season he scored more than 20 points against Duke, Florida State, Indiana and Wisconsin. Appling is in his second season of playing point guard for Izzo and is Michigan State's leading returning scoring. He is quick, athletic and has the highest vertical leap on the team. He is a tough defender who will attack the rim on offense. In the game against Connecticut, Appling scored 17 points with 4 assists and committed only one t
MUSKETT
★★★★
Branden Dawson, Sophmore Guard
Dawson has very good rebounding instincts on both ends of the court and is the leading returning rebounder for Michigan State with 4.5 per game. He can defend multiple positions due to his strength and length, and has become one of the best defenders in the Big Ten. On offense Dawson can get into the paint and finish above the rim.
★★★
Gary Harris, Freshman Guard
A 6-foot-4-inch freshman, Harris was a 2012 Mr. American. His offensive game is impressive. Harris will stretch the defense with his deep shooting range and he has good ball skills to go along with his athleticism. On defense Harris could still benefit from some experience, but he has the frame to become a good defender with time. Tom fizz recruited Harris out of Gary Ind., away from Big Ten rivals Indiana and Purdue. Harris's mother, Joy, was a WNBA player for the Detroit Shock.
PRESIDENT
★★
Derrick Nix, Senior Center
Nix is a big part of Michigan State's toughness and physicality. The biggest strength for Nix is his wide body. He uses it to play tough post defense and score in the paint. Last season Nix ranked such in the Big Ten in field-goal percentage while scoring eight points per game. He is 6 foot 9 inch, weight 270 pounds and has dropped more than 35 pounds since coming to Michigan State. He plays below the rim with excellent post moves thanks to his great hands and footwork.
B. OWEN
★★★
Adreian Paine, Junior Center
Payne is an amazing athlete especially considering his size. He is 6 foot 10 inch with a wingspan of 7 foot inch and a vertical leap of 38 inches. He has a wilt-wounded game including outside shooting, though he is still working to develop his range to the 3-point line. Payne is a junior and is already just five blocked shots from entering the top 10 shot blockers in Spartan history.

STATE
TIPOFF
Michigan State will be coming into tonight's game jet lagged. They lost their season opener at Ramstein Air Base in Germany to Connecticut 66-62 Sophomore guard Travis Trice, who led the Big Ten freshmen in 3-point shooting percentage last season, is unlikely to play against Kansas due to concussion symptoms. Michigan State is very similar to Kansas on defense with strong perimeter defenders and a shot blocker to protect the rim.
AT A GLANCE
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Sophomore Guard Branden Dawson
Michigan State's defensive presence in the paint becomes too much for the Jayhawks and forces them to settle for jump shots, which has become a trend for Kansas early in the season. Kansas needs Jeff Withey to score and if he can't get close to the basket that likely will not happen. Getting into the paint is a difficult task against the size and toughness of Michigan State's frontline of Derrick Nix and Adrian Payne.
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF...
Sophomore Branden Dawson suffered a torn ACL in March but opted to play without a brace in the first game of the season. The decision paid off as Dawson looked as explosive as ever in his first official game back from surgery. He scored 15 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, had five steals and played 34 minutes against Connecticut. Coach Tom Izzo said after the game that Dawson played well but his time off showed as he was less productive later in the game.
"Plenty of film coming back," coach Tom Izzo told the Detroit Free Press on playing Kansas. "(Witch) an 8- or 9-hour flight coming back, we'll have a lot of ability to watch film. We'll have exhibition games, some games from last year, but going into it, (UConn was) just too big of a game."

SPARTAN CHALLENGE
Four teams to face off
By Ryan McCarthy

Edited by Emma McElhaney
It's a spectacle not normally seen in mid-November.
seen in mid-November. It's four of the best teams in college basketball converging on one arena for one night to showcase their talents at the inception of the season.
Just like last season in Madison Square Garden, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke and Michigan State will all display their talents in the Georgia Dome tonight.
All of these teams have similar qualities that led to multiple Final Four runs in recent years.
Michigan State has a gritty toughness that allows the Spartans to show off their physicality inside the paint.
The coaches are all top-notch. Each has at least one national championship to display on their resume.
Each team brings a different dynamic to the table.
Duke exudes tradition led by coach Mike Krzyzewski, who now has two gold medals to go along with his four national championships.
And of course there's Kentucky the team with the constant revolving door of NBA lottery picks waiting to be plucked in next year's draft.
Their coach, John Calipari,
managed to do something no
other coach has even attempted.
He continues to try and bring
together different styles.
Finally, let's talk about what this game means for the lavhawks
Last season against Kentucky, this game proved to be a precursor to the national title game when they met up in New York.
He's both excited and angered by the ESPN show All-Access Kentucky. I watched it earlier this year, and it truly was a spectacle and something that will provide Kentucky with more exposure (as if they needed more).
It might not end up with the same implications this season, but it's still a chance to prove the potential of this team.
Michigan State has been a nonstop whirlwind since playing Connecticut on Friday in Germany.
CHAMPIONS CLASSIC
I'm not sure if it is an advantage for Kansas to be playing a team that's just returning from a trip overseas, but they have to be somewhat fatigued.
However, the Jayhawks must show more efficiency on the offensive end.
It would nice to see signs of the offense moving in the right direction. Unfortunately, that won't be the case against Michigan State.
With such a physical presence from the Spartans on defense, this game could end up in the 50- or 60-point range.
So as all four of these teams get ready to face off, enjoy watching two games that might be seen again in March.
Putting a lot of stock into these early season games is never a good idea, but it does spark the interest of the national audience.
It will be an ugly brutal game, but there's more than a chance that the lavahawks will win.

Unlike the last time the Kansas men's basketball team faced Michigan State in the Sweet 16 of the 2009 NCAA tournament, when the teams tip-off tonight at 6 p.m., the stakes aren't as high and losing the game won't mean the end to one team's season.
"I think these early games are something to kind of wake us up," senior guard Elijah Johnson said. "Like the Kentucky game last year, that was a game that woke us up and showed us we weren't as good as we thought we were and we had a lot of work to do."
That doesn't mean big-ticket, early season matchups like the State Farm Champions Classic aren't beneficial to the teams playing in them—they give teams an early test to see in what areas they need to improve.
The Spartans give the layhawks their first game against an opponent who likes to play tough. Unlike the teams Kansas faced in its exhibition season, the Spartans
"Michigan State will expose us if we don't play well because they'll make us be an execution team because they don't give up easy baskets," coach Bill Self said.
A wake-up could be what the Jayhawks need. They looked sluggish through their season opener, unable to knock down their open three point attempts that the Southeast Missouri State zone defense allowed them.
The layhawks finished the day just two for 21 shooting from outside the 3-point arc.
have more experience playing against tall centers like senior Jeff Withey.
The Spartans also aren't afraid of making hustle plays—going for loose balls or crashing the rim hard for rebounds.
This is an area of emphasis Self has struggled to imprint on his own players this season.
"I don't think I've done a great job of getting the points through to our guys yet," Self said. "Toughness isn't about physical strength, that's a small part of it, but it's about not flinching, going after every ball with two hands. It's about carrying out assignments when you just screwed up and you're worried about it. It's about thinking next play."
By playing the game in the Georgia Dome, the Champions Classic offers an environment most teams don't see unless the advance into the second weekend of the NCAA tournament.
Coach Charlie Weis speaks at a teleconference to reporters. Weis is 1-9 for this season.

Something the older core of the Kansas roster is familiar with, having played four games in domes during the team's 2012 run to the NCAA National Championship game.
Senior forward Kevin Young thinks the key for his younger teammates to make a smooth adjustment to the Dome is that they listen to Self instead of having each player try to do his own thing.
"He's been here before, he'll be here when they leave, he knows what he's doing." Young said.

This Kansas team is getting close really close.
The Big 12 win that has evaded the Jayhawks for more than two seasons has never looked more attainable. The coaches know it, the players can feel it and now other teams are beginning to worry about it.
After defeating Kansas in double overtime, Texas Tech defensive end Kerry Hyder said it would have been a "big deal" if the Red Raiders would have lost to the Jayhawks, but it may be time to abandon that sentiment.
"Yesterday's practice was as spirited a Sunday practice that we've had in quite some time," Kansas coach Charlie Weis said on Monday's teleconference call. "They can see the light at the end of the tunnel."
That's not to say the layhawks don't have a long way to go, but that light continues to get brighter.
Consider the fact that virtually every college football enthusiast knows that Kansas is going to have to run the ball to be successful, and yet no one can stop it.
In the last three games, Kansas averaged 290 yards rushing. Eventually, Weis says, the passing game will evolve. When it does, the jayhawks' backfield will only become more deadly. This is why Weis told his offensive staff that this year will pay dividends.
"You get into an offseason where you develop your passing game to
The impending eligibility of wide receiver Justin McCay and quarterback Jake Heaps will certainly help. But that doesn't mean Weis is going to sit back and wait
complement this running game that you've been progressing all year long," Weis said. "That investment in the running game will just make you that much better once your passing game becomes more efficient."
for the reinforcements to come.
"Every week you do something a little bit different," Weis said.
"When a team gets into that rut where they get used to losing you have to make sure you have fresh ideas every week so that the team doesn't get stale."
As he has maintained all year, Weis will not stay status quo with a losing team.
It has been a heartbreaking season for the Jayhawks. Looking back at games against Rice, Northern Illinois, Oklahoma State, Texas and
There was nothing stale about
Kansas last Saturday. Weis even said it was the first time since playing Texas that the jayhawks "Woe is me" attitude seemed non-existent. Instead of waiting for something bad to happen, Weis said the players were trying to make something good occur.

now Texas Tech, not much separated Kansas from a win in all of those matchups.
This team is close, very close, and they know it.

STILL FUMING
The string of arsons in Lawrence continues with 12 total cases reported
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
An apartment fire Sunday morning in the 1700 block of West 24th Street could be the latest in a suspected string of arsons occurring in the area.
According to the fire report, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical emergency workers found "burned material" outside one of the apartments. The report categorized the fire as arson, but fire chief Mark Bradford did not say if the fire is one of the suspected arsons.
The department did not release the location or number of the fires and has not released an update. In an open records request by The University Daily Kansan to obtain fire reports from Oct. 19 to Nov. 11, 12 fires in total occurred within the zone outlined by the fire department.
Last week the fire department asked the public for information about a number of intentionally set fires occurring at apartment complexes between West 23rd Street and West 25th Street and from Iowa Street to Naismith Drive.
Of the other 11 fires, nine occurred at multi-family dwellings, one occurred in an outside dumpster, and one occurred at a laundry facility.
The fires have not resulted in injury, and no more than $1,000 in damage has been reported in any of the 12 fires.
But for Lori Bartel, a resident at one of the apartments, it doesn't matter how harmless the intentions are.
"It's not funny," Bartel said. "It puts my whole family at risk."
A manager at a different property said she thought the complex and the fire department handled it well.
"These are older buildings," Bartel said. "Security cameras would help a lot, and they don't cost much."
Bartel is married with a child and said she believed her complex could do more.
"They've been here several times a week to talk to people and offer tips," she said. Although she does not believe the particular fire that occurred last month at the building she manages was arson, she said the complex was prepared for fire.
"We have a hardwired-in system, and our alarms are very,very loud." she said.
Chief Bradford would not offer details about any of the arsons or identify which fires the apartment was investigating.
But the lack of information is not necessarily related to the fire department's intent.
— Edited by Brian Sisk
"This is a very serious situation." Bradford said.
AREAS OF ARSON ACTIVITY
Seven of the fires reported in Lawrence are categorized as arson:
- 3:58 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24,
— apartment complex at 2429 Redbud Lane. Smoldering material was found on a stair landing.
- 1:49 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 27. — apartment complex at 1732 W. 24th St. Paper hanging from a door frame was lit on fire.
9.20 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29 – residential-use building at 1722 W. 24th St. The fire occurred in the hallway with burn combustible material.
1.35 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30 – apartment complex at 1733 W. 24th St. A smoking pile of combustible material was found inside the complex underneath first floor mailboxes.
- 4.05 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 30, - laundry facility at 2346 Iowa St. A dryer was found with burning items inside.
- 3:13 a.m. Friday, Nov. 2, - apartment complex at 1504 W. 24th St. Combustible material was found at the top of a stairwell and the carpet beneath had minimal scorching.
* 3:46 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 11 – apartment complex at 1703 W. 24th St. The fire occurred on a third floor hallway and burnt material was located.

Style on the Hill is growing.
Sabrina Liedtke, a senior from San Francisco and founder of Style on the Hill, a website devoted to showcasing fashion around Lawrence and on campus, said the site's Facebook page receives about 30 "likes" per day, and the total number of "likes" has grown from about 200 to more than 650 since the beginning of October. Liedtke said the site, which she created in August, underwent a redesign last month and expanded content to include photo shoots, music and architecture. The original three-person staff has grown to 14, and they are also considering posting videos and running pieces in a print publication.
"I think Lawrence is so cool, and I want to document it," Liedtke said. "It's grown to more of a culture thing, with fashion."
Abbey Johnson, a junior from Essex Junction, Vt., began following the site in September. She saw that one of her friends had "liked" it on Facebook, and she did the same. Now, Johnson looks at street view photos taken during game days to get style inspiration.
Alex Moore shows off her style by layering her clothes for Style on the Hill.
"I love to see what they snap people wearing on campus and on game day," Johnson said. "Normally I just wear my KU football jersey and jeans, but now I get ideas for things I may want to wear, because I don't want to wear the same things for games every week."
From looking at the site, Johnson was inspired to wear other things
"It pushes me to put more effort into what I'm going to wear," she said. "It's given me ideas for stuff I want to go look for."

Reynolds said that by photographing students on campus and around town, the site takes normal things and makes them interesting. He wants people to look at the site — which has a staff comprised of only students — and realize that they can pursue their goals as well.
"I never would've imagined doing this," Reynolds said. "It just happened. From starting this and seeing where it's gone, I hope other people see it and go out and do what they want to do, because it's possible."
Liedke said the staff focuses on showcasing the positive, and that the purpose of the site is not to be similar to "What Not to Wear." She wants people to be inspired to develop an interest in fashion and to be entertained by seeing people and things they can relate to, like images on Jaynawk Boulevard or Massachusetts Street.
She said she would like the staff and the site to continue growing, and the growth the site has already experienced was unexpected. She said she is always hiring people to contribute.
"I just love finding unique and artistic things, and I still take pictures every day." Liedtke said, "I had a clear idea of what I wanted, but I didn't think it would go this far and grow this big."

Students crowd around and answer trivia questions in teams for the Global Trivia event as part of the International Education Week. KU is hosting special events to promote international engagement throughout the week.
ISA events raise global awareness

Amanda Murphy joined the International Student Association to learn more about her heritage. Her mother immigrated to the United States from India, but Murphy did not know much about the culture of the country.
Murphy, a senior from Overland Park and president of the ISA, has gained Indian friends through the group who have taught her about their food, religion and traditions.
"Ive never gotten the chance to go study abroad, so I've never been to India," Murphy said. "But because I was raised here, I had a really strong interest in learning about that culture. I never really got to be immersed in it."
Along with learning about India, Murphy was introduced to more cultures by international students. The ISA is open to all students, and Murphy said there is a mix of those born in America and not.
"Here at KU, we have a lot of diversity," Murphy said. "People bring with them really rich cultures that they've been a part of. I've really acquired a sense of cultural pride."
To celebrate International Education Week, which runs from Nov. 12-16, the ISA will be co-hosting a potluck Thanksgiving dinner at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave., at 7 p.m. tonight. Murphy said the goals of the dinner are to show international students what Thanksgiving is and introduce all students to the traditional foods of other countries.
According to its website, International Education Week — the third week of November — began in 2000 and is an initiative by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education to "encourage development of programs that prepare Americans to live and work in a global environment and attract future leaders from abroad to study in the United States."
International Programs and other campus organizations are hosting free public events throughout the week. Therese Danley, events coordinator for International Programs, said the week is used to promote opportunities for international education through the University. The goal of the events, which range from trivia nights to symposiums, is to promote social interaction between different cultures and to gain awareness of issues from around the globe.
"They'll be able to meet other people on campus who are really into global issues and who are interested in similar things as they are." Danley said. "They'll be able to really connect with various people and various topics that are relevant to the rest of the world."
Jenna Hunter, coordinator of the Global Awareness Program, said one important aspect of the week is to learn how to interact with people from other countries.
"Learning to interact with people from different parts of the world is a very important skill today in terms of the success you will have," she said.
One benefit of experiencing other cultures, Murphy said, is gaining a new perspective.
"I can see things from multiple points of view since I've been involved so closely with people who come from different countries and have different traditions," Murphy said. "I think a lot of decisions people make may be based on the culture they were raised in, so understanding where people come from has given me a more holistic view of my life and the lives of those around me."

Lyndon county affirms Republican's House win
LYNDON, Kan.— Officials in one northeast Kansas county certified its results Monday in a close state House race, expanding the Republican challenger's lead over a Democratic incumbent amid a legal battle over another county's vote counting.
The Osage County Commission reviewed dozens of provisional ballots and counted 53 with votes for either candidate in the 54th House District, which includes parts of three counties.
Afterward, Democratic Rep. Ann Mah of Topeka trailed Republican challenger Ken Corbet, also of Topeka, by 44 votes out of nearly 10,700 cast. The margin previously had been 27 votes, so that Corbat saw a net gain of 17 votes.
Mah filed a successful lawsuit Friday in neighboring Shawnee County to force it to release the names of voters who cast provisional ballots.
She and other Democrats are trying to contact them and help them correct potential problems so that their ballots will be counted. She was hoping to pick up enough votes to defeat Corbet, having carried the Shawnee County portion of the district in unofficial results.
"We were hoping for a better out- come," Mah said as she left Osage
He contends that voters' privacy is at stake, but Mah and other Democrats argue that he's trying to block her last, slim chance for overcoming Corbet's lead because she's a vocal opponent of a law Kobach championed to require voters to show photo identification at the polls. Kobach also backed Corbet.
Secretary of State Kris Kobach objected to releasing the names and filed his own lawsuit in federal court to block the candidates from using them.
County Courthouse in Lyndon,
about 30 miles south of Topeka.
Coyot carried the smaller portions of the district in neighboring Douglas and Osage counties and hoped to contact voters casting provisional ballots to add to his totals, including in Osage County. More than 200 provisional ballots were cast in the district among the three counties, with more than 100 in Shawnee County and almost 90 in Osage County.
The new tally in the race gives Corbet 5,365 votes after he picked up 35 in Osage County. Mah has 5,321 votes, having gained 18.

are eligible to vote at particular polling places, for reasons including the lack of a proper photo ID, a recent move or, for some women, a name change upon getting married. Each ballot is placed in an envelope and set aside for further review. Counties have until Thursday to certify their results, and Douglas and Shawnee county officials plan to wait until then.
CALEB CROOK
Attorney
Attorneys representing Corbet and the Republican Party argued that it wouldn't be fair for voters in Osage County to be denied extra time to correct potential problems with their ballots.

Islam group criticizes air strikes
Palestinian women react during the funeral of Hamas militant Mohammed Al Qanoah in Gaza City on Tuesday.
...
CAIRO — Egypt's powerful Muslim Brotherhood sharply criticized Israeli leaders on Tuesday over airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, accusing them of heating up the conflict to score political points ahead of elections.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The latest round of violence began Saturday, with rocket attacks from Gaza militants and Israeli airstrikes that killed seven Palestinians. More than 100 rockets have exploded in Israel since the weekend. The exchanges appeared to die down on Tuesday.
Also, Israeli tanks struck a Syrian artillery launcher Monday after a mortar shell flew into Israel-held territory, fueling concerns that Israel could be dragged into the Syrian civil war.
In its statement, the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party referred to Israel as a "Zionist occupier" and a "racist state," placing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on the "fringes" of the "far right."
"In the framework of elections that Israel is witnessing is a recent military escalation against occupied Gaza and the occupied Golan Heights," the statement said. Israel has set parliamentary elections for Jan. 22.
The Brotherhood's party called on Arab and Muslim governments "to stop the Zionist war that is operating under electoral calculations for personal gain far from humanitarian calculations for peace, security and stability."
The Muslim Brotherhood itself released a separate statement shortly after its party's, sharpening the criticism and accusing Israel of following a policy that tries to appear opposite itself "and God knows they are liars."
"The killing of tens of our innocent Palestinian brothers is part of a link in a chain of oppression and judaization that seeks to impose itself on the ground, and that will never materialize with God's will," it said.
The harsh pronouncements followed a small demonstration in Cairo Monday and open letter signed by several liberal parties and revolutionary groups denouncing the Israeli strikes on Gaza.
The statements by both the Brotherhood and its political party highlight decades of tensions between neighbors Israel and Egypt,
despite a 1979 peace treaty. The Islamists, repressed in Egypt under the regime that was ousted last year, have emerged as the most powerful group since last year's popular uprising. They won parliamentary elections and the presidency.
Last month, the group's supreme leader, Mohammed Badie, released a fiery tride against Jews, accusing them of spreading corruption, slaughtering Muslims and deserating holy sites.
Unlike his predecessor, the ousted Hosni Mubarak, President Mohammed Morsi has not met Israeli officials since his election in June.
The comments were denounced by Israeli officials and a leading anti-Semitic watchdog group.
He has also not mentioned Israel by name in official statements, in line with longstanding Brotherhood policy.
But to secure investments and bolster the economy, Morsi recently met with U.S. business executives from top American companies and vowed to respect his country's peace accord with Israel.

Dalai Lama calls for probe of Tibetan deaths
TOKYO — Lashing back at criticism from Beijing, the Dalai Lama on Tuesday said China needs to thoroughly investigate the causes of self-immolations by Tibetans and blamed "narrow-minded Communist officials" for seeing Buddhist culture as a threat.
The Dalai Lama also called on foreign media and members of Japan's parliament to visit Tibet — though such trips
are severely restricted — to see that what is happening there does not go ignored.
"I always ask the Chinese government, please, now, thoroughly investigate," the Tibetan Buddhist leader said. "What is the cause of these sad things?"
The Dalai Lama was speaking to a group of Japanese lawmakers that included opposition party head Shinzo Abe, an outspoken China hawk seen by many as the top contender to become the
country's next prime minister.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Beijing has lodged a protest with Japan following the Dalai Lama's visit.
"China is opposed to any country or any individual providing a stage for his separatist moves," Hong said.
Eight self-immolations have been reported over six days in China's Tibetan region, including two on Monday.
China has long accused the Dalai Lama and his supporters of inspiring and even glorifying such acts, though the Dalai Lama says he opposes all violence.
Hong had launched a new salvo at the Dalai Lama on Monday, claiming he was taking Japan's side in an ongoing territorial dispute and calling him a separatist who is aligning with Japanese right-wingers.

Haitian flood brings death, food shortage
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The rain has tapered off and floodwaters no longer claw at houses, but the situation across much of Hati remained grim on Tuesday following an autumn of punishing rains that have killed scores of people and that threaten to cause even more hunger across the impoverished nation.
In places such as Croix-des-Missions, on the northeastern edge of the Haitian capital, the walls of dozens of homes along a pale brown river have been broken or ripped away, exposing clothes, bedding and everything else to the repeated downpours.
Heavy rains began falling in southern Haiti even before Hurricane Sandy passed just west of the country's southern peninsula the night of Oct. 24, dropping more than 20 inches of rain within a 24-hour period.
"It took away my whole home.
As one of 21,000 people the U.N. said were left homeless by Sandy, Calixta was forced to move with her belongings beneath aarp at a neighbor's home.
Now I don't have anything," said Solange Calixte, a 56-year-old mother of two whose home in Croxt-des-Missions was largely destroyed by floodwaters of the nearby Gray River.
And the rains have kept coming. Another front soaked much of the north late last week, causing more flooding and leaving at least a dozen dead.
So far the back-to-back storms have killed up to 66 people and the crisis is likely to worsen in coming months.
The United Nations says that as much as 90 percent of Haiti's current harvest season, much of it in the south, was lost in Sandy's floods, and the next harvest season won't begin until March.

Documentary thriller examines human psyche
Some of the most entertaining documentaries are those in which the truth really is stranger than fiction. But the fascinatingly bizarre "The Imposter" pulls in viewers with more than its mind-boggling story. It actually plays out like a sleek, pulse-pounding thriller, making it highly exciting and especially accessible to those who don't typically watch documentaries.
In 1994, 13 year old Nicholas Barclay disappeared from San Antonio, Texas. It seemed like a miracle when he was found alive more than three years later in Spain. The family rejoiced at his return and accepted him back into their lives but failed to realize something very important about the boy. He wasn't actually Nicholas.
As this mysterious, unnamed man explains (in present day) how he tricked the authorities, the family and everyone else, dramatized reenactments show the situation unfolding, while the Barclays also

Driving the tension here is the question: How can this guy who knows nothing about Nicholas, doesn't look at all like him and even speaks with a foreign accent pull this off? And how could the family ever accept this stranger to be their beloved Nicholas?

describe their side of it.
It's a peculiar yet engrossing look into the human psyche, both of a cunning, captivating fraud and of a vulnerable family who miss their boy so much that they'll believe in anything to have him back. And it only gets weirder after the imposter has ingratiated himself into his
Considering director Bart Layton's background as the creator of the NatGeo documentary show "Locked Up Abroad," which features many intense dramatic re-enactments, their use here is even more effective. The actors in them look exactly like the real people, giving a further surreal feel to the whole thing. They're dark, moody and voiced over with the interviews adds to the suspense.
new life, when the real astonishing secrets come out of the closet.
He raises some unsettling questions (do the Barclays have an anterior motive for accepting this man into their family?) and slowly brings to light shocking truths, culminating in an electrifying finale. All of these factors make "The Imposter" the must-see documentary of the year.

Victoria's Secret issues apology for headdress
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Victoria's Secret has apologized for putting a Native American-style headdress on a model for its annual fashion show, after the outfit was criticized as a display of ignorance toward tribal culture and history.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The company responded to the complaints over the weekend by saying it was sorry to have upset anyone and that it wouldn't include the outfit in the show's television broadcast next month, or in any marketing materials.
"We sincerely apologize as we absolutely had no intention to offend anyone," the company said.
Headdresses historically are a symbol of respect, worn by Native American war chiefs and warriors. For many Plains tribes, for example, each feather placed on a headdress has significance and had to be earned through an act of compassion or bravery. Some modern-day Native American leaders have been gifted war bonnets in ceremonies accompanied by prayers and songs.
"When you see a Lakota chief wearing a full headdress, you know that he was a very honorable man. He was a leader. He did a lot of honorable things for his people," said Michelle Spotted
Elk, a Santa Cruz, Calif., woman of mixed heritage whose husband is Lakota. "It also has religious significance. With them, there's not a division between spirituality and their leadership."
Victoria's Secret model Karlie Kloss walked onto the runway last week wearing the floor-length feathered headdress, leopard-print underwear and high heels. She also was adorned with fringe and turquoise jewelry during a segment meant to represent the 12 months of the year — fireworks in July, rain gear for April and a headaddress for November.
Kloss hersePosted on Twitter that she was "deeply sorry if what I wore during the VS Show offended anyone."
Thousands of people have commented about the outfit on the company's Facebook page. Some praised Kloss' attire as artistic and urged those offended by it to "get over it." Some expressed appreciation to Victoria's Secret for halting its marketing approach for the clothing, and others reached back in history to explain their feelings.
"We have gone through the atrocities to survive and ensure our way of life continues." Navajo Nation spokesman Erny Zah said in an interview Monday. "Any mockery, whether it's Hallowen,

Victoria's Secret — they are spitting on us. They are spitting on our culture, and it's unsetting."
The Victoria's Secret stir follows a string of similar incidents. Recently, Paul Frank Industries Inc. and the band No Doubt each ran into criticism for their use of headaddress in clothing and parties, and in a cowboys-and-Indians-themed video, respectively. They offered apologies as well.

CULTURE
That awkward moment when your love life is nonexistent because you didn't pass that chain letter along in 8th grade.
Everyone is trying to characterize our generation. We are more ethnically diverse. More of us are getting college degrees. We grew up with the Internet. When I think of myself and my peers, none of these descriptions come to mind. Perhaps I'm suffering from some kind of post-election hangover, but I think I've finally come to a few true, defining characteristics. What defines our millennial generation includes, but is not limited to, talking about things we don't know much about, looking up something online and suddenly becoming an expert on said thing, using large generalizations, and becoming involved in frivolous, impassioned, inconsequential online debates. In essence, what defines us is not just our ability to use rhetoric, but our penchant for truly believing the rhetoric we spew out through any medium. It's endemic of our generation.
Let me give you an example
I didn't and I don't. I have some exposure, but I don't have any grand vision of what the price of gasoline will be. Right now, I don't have the skills to break down the gasoline market every single day. I can't combine geopolitical events with changes in gasoline refining technology to come to a decision on what the outlook for gasoline looks like. I still read the sentence "Western woes weigh on gasoline market" as "Whoa. Was that alliteration?" Even if I knew precisely
about myself and the way I used to buy gasoline. I used to always do this stupid thing where I wouldn't fill up my gas tank, even if the low fuel light begged me to, because I thought gas prices would be lower. Perhaps, as a student studying petroleum engineering, I would have some kind of insight into the best time to buy gasoline. Maybe, as a student studying economics, I would have some fleshed-out wisdom on the demand for gasoline in Kansas.

what the headline meant, it's not as if I could combine it with other factors and accurately forecast the price of gasoline for the next day.
Power outage? It's a month too early to be the apocalypse.
Despite all this, I thought studying petroleum engineering and economics gave me some kind of license to tell people what was "right" when it came to gasoline. All of a sudden, I was some expert. I was a lightning rod on the internet, crushing less internet-savvy opinions with my hasty Googled consumer spending data and my well-crafted box and whisker plots of gas prices.

I'm going to call "pseudo-knowledge," I ask for your forgiveness. For everyone else, don't you all know someone who does what I did? Someone who argues only in large, hypothetical generalizations, particularly over the Internet? Someone who takes some general credibility, like his or her major area of study, and suddenly uses it as authority to spread pseudo-knowledge like a cancer? Haven't you had enough of the political science student telling you what's wrong with America, the sports management student telling you what's wrong with Kansas football, and the engineering student telling you how inefficient you are?
tion enough, the person spreading pseudo-knowledge is forced to really become knowledgeable or else risk being exposed as a fraud. This benefits everyone. Don't get caught thinking an orange falls faster than a grape. It doesn't. It falls at the same speed. Try it out.
Stop the pseudo-knowledge pandemic now. If someone really does have strong experiences and ability to cite sources, then give that person some credit then. But, if there's no real evidence of either, please, please question away. There's a chance that if you ques-
Just because a columnist in the Kansan writes something, it doesn't make it absolutely true. I'm trying to put these days behind me. I've had quite enough of my own pseudo-knowledge claims. As old fashioned as it may sound, being able to step back and say, "I'm not quite certain, but I would love to learn" is a trait I admire in others and a quality that I strive for. In the meantime, I'm filling up my tank when the low fuel light comes on.

HUMOR
The 'right' way to celebrate
By AJ Barbosa
abarbosa@kansan.com
Every day you open up to the opinion page of the Kansan, you see three new columns. Sometimes, one of us will give you advice on how to overcome obstacles within student life, or maybe one of us will give you advice on how you should view a particular political or social issue.
No matter how you slice it, it's advice - good and bad.
Even though I write weekly columns (which usually offers tongue-in-cheek advice that's rarely serious) and read my colleagues' columns, sometimes the advice we make available isn't quite what the doctor ordered. Occasionally, what's widely considered as good advice isn't the kind of advice you're looking for. If no one ever followed bad advice, good advice wouldn't exist.
I turned 21 last week and thought it would be interesting to see what kind of advice our columnists had to offer on celebrating such an occasion. During the last few years, several have penned pieces on turning 21. For the most part, they usually steered toward condemning heavy drinking and urged readers to avoid it - which is rational, good advice.
But as I mentioned, people don't always want to follow good advice. Sometimes people are comfortable with taking a gamble and braving any negative consequences. I knew
I'd have friends and family by my side, so I felt comfortable heading to the bar that night to take both a gamble and a generous share of shots.
No one had written a column for that - for someone who opts against having a quiet, calm 21st. There wasn't any good advice on how to best follow generally bad advice.
So I'll go ahead and do it. Here's what got me through a drunken 21st and here's what I wish I'd heard in advance.
DRINK WITH A GAME PLAN.
START HYDRATING AT LEAST A DAY IN ADVANCE.
If you drink like the Chiefs have played this season, don't try 21 shots. If you're "experienced," go for it if you want, but don't wait until your fourth drink to try and start your shots. I did and it was a god-awful call. As you can imagine, hangovers get exponentially worse when you're speed-walking home to un-tag overly embarrassing Facebook pictures.
This probably would have saved me from the worst hangover of my life. Eat a solid dinner and make sure your pee color is as clear as glass before you even start walking (you're not driving because you're not a childish, selfish monon) to the bar. Continue to down water liberally throughout the night. It's key.
MAKE SURE YOU REALLY TRUST YOUR BUDDIES.
Find two or three who will agree to stick with you the entire night.
Sometimes that's hard, because as people drink, they can wander off to other parts of the bar and forget to keep track of their newly of-age and drunk friend. Luckily, mine partied by my side all night and fetched a sober friend to get us home. I'd have been screwed without them.
RUN INTO SOMEONE YOU KNOW? MENTION THAT IT'S YOUR 21ST.
Both were in my pocket when I awoke (thank God), but my wallet was empty and my phone apparently broke at some point. Money's tight in college and buying a new phone is brutal – especially when you're not due for an upgrade and you have to pay full price.
HAND OVER YOUR PHONE AND WALLET EARLY.
Not only will they probably buy you a shot, which is always a plus, they'll be made aware that you're drinking more than usual tonight. No one wants to see their friend's big night end badly, so they probably won't hesitate to get your buddies and cut you off if you start looking a little too rough.
If that's how you want to do it,
know that it's possible to have a
crazy, ridiculous night without
putting yourself in a bad situation.
Just play it safe, and above all else,
play it smart.
And don't get McDonald's breakfast the next morning. Thank me later.

Great experiences happen by chance
By Arnobio Morelix amorelix@kansan.com
By Arnobio Morelix
What are the best moments you have had in your life? The coolest things you have done? The memories you like the most, and the people you met that you like the best?
Have you thought about how they happen? Were they something you planned out, or did they happen more or less by chance? Were they part of your plan, your daily routine? Or were they a bit daring, when you tried something you weren't quite sure of?
When I reflect about my own "best moments," I find they happen largely by chance. Not only on the professional side, like going to India to study business and landing an internship in Europe, but also on the personal side, such as when I met my girlfriend. All these things involved not quite following my previous plans, and going a lot off what I was "supposed to do." In fact, if I had only minded my own business and followed my own plan, I would never have ended up in Kansas for some of the best years of my life.
I would love to believe that my own awesomeomeness and foresight were the sole drivers of the cool stuff I have experienced in life.
But that is not really the truth. In fact, on a broader perspective, if we are sincere to ourselves, the most remarkable experiences we have tend to come from events we had little control of.
On my current job at the Kauffman Foundation (a job I landed because I had a good deal of luck on my side), one of my tasks is to interview successful entrepreneurs, mainly CEOs and founders of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. Not surprisingly, many mention serendipity as a critical success factor. They were at the right place at the right time. They couldn't really predict what would happen, but they went off their routines and tried something new. And there is the key: although they could not really know what would happen, they knew they had to do something different from their daily routine. They gave chance a chance.
Too often we try to design complex plans ahead of time, long before we know what life will really be like. How many friends we know who were sure about their dream careers, but changed majors after a couple of classes on the field? Giving chance a chance is not about giving up the control of our lives to randomness, but rather recognizing and knowing what we have no control of And, most important, make the best out of it.

Kansas ready to face off against Oklahoma
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
When Kansas takes the floor against Oklahoma tonight at 6 p.m., junior Brianne Riley will face a rare counterpart who is just as accomplished as she is.
Maria Fernanda has 458 digs this season for Oklahoma and is the Sooners' career leader in digs. Her 4.72 digs per set is third in the Big 12 conference — one spot behind Riley's 5.17 digs per set.
"You've got to stretch her, because anything in her area she's going to dig, much like Bri," coach Ray Bechard said. "But the last thing you want to do is just totally alter your game plan, too. If you're not playing your best shot that plays into what Oklahoma wants you to do."
Riley has 512 digs this season, and she bolstered that number when the two teams met Oct. 10 in Norman, Okla. Riley recorded a career-high 43 digs in the five-set victory.
makes a huge difference."
"I honestly didn't even know I had that many digs," Riley said. "I think our defense is just disciplined on our releases, which
Bechard said he'd be happy to have Riley record that many digs again in a five-set win, but he'd also be content for Kansas to win in three sets, negating the number of dig opportunities Riley has.
"That's obviously directly dependent on the number of choices your setter has," Bechard said. "When the passing breaks down a little bit and you become predictable, those are the kind of things you see."
Regardless of how many sets the Jayhawks play tonight, Riley and the Jayhawks' other defensive specialists, junior Jaime Mathieu and senior Morgan Boub, must have good first contact on the Oklahoma serve to get the Kansas offense in-system and away from the opponent's block.
Junior defensive specialist Brianne Riley returns the ball during the match against the Wyoming Cowgirls on Sept. 8. Riley has 512 digs this season.
COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL
Against Texas on Saturday, the Jayhawks were outblocked by the Longhorns in the final two sets, 9-3. The Sooners won't be any easier; they boast the conference's second-leading blocker with junior middle blocker, Sallie McLaurin, who averages 1.38 blocks per set.
When the Sooners and Jayhawks met earlier this season, McNorton did have choices on where to distribute the ball, which resulted in four Jayhawks having double-digit kills. Junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael paced Kansas with 18 kills against the Sooners.
Beachard said junior setter Erin McNorton needs to receive clean passes from the Jayhawk defense to give her multiple options for distributing the ball to hitters. Otherwise the Sooners could have just as much success blocking the Kansas attack as Texas did.
TRAVIS YOUNG/KANSAN
She said the Texas match showed Kansas it needed to do a better job of finishing transition kills if it wants to keep Oklahoma from stealing a victory.
"That's one thing I think during Texas that we had to do better was transition kill and be sure that once we get a good dig, we get a good set and we can also put it away," Carmichael said.
The match tonight at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center will wrap up a brutal six-match slate that included a home game with Texas and road matches against Kansas State, Iowa State
"November is always the toughest part," Riley said. "It's
and Baylor. Kansas is 2-3 in its last five matches, but Riley attributes it to part of the November grind, when every team is making one last push for the NCAA Tournament. The Jayhawks are still in good position with a 21-6 overall record and a 9-4 Big 12 mark.
whoever can grind it out the longest. I think all of us are in that top half, and everyone's fighting for that top spot."
On Tuesday, Riley was one of eight Jayhawks named to the Academic All-Big 12 first team, the most from any school. Kansas State had seven players named to the first team and one to the second team.
"It's something that our team is very proud of," Riley said. "If everyone on the team has that mindset, when you're on away trips and everyone's doing homework, you can't really sit there and not do it, be the odd one out."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Baylor Bears dominated the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday
WACO, Texas — Brittney Griner scored 27 points with eight rebounds and No. 1 Baylor easily passed what was expected to be its first real challenge, overwhelming sixth-ranked Kentucky 85-51 Tuesdav night.
Odyssey Sims added 18 points with six assists and four steals. Destiny Williams had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the defending national champion Lady Bears, who have won 42 games in a row.
After unfurling their 2012 national championship banner high from the rafters at the Ferrell Center before the game, the Lady Bears (2-0) went on to build a 46-19 half-time lead against the defending SEC champions who returned four starters and are favored to win that league again.
Adia Mathies, the reigning SEC player of the year, had 12 points on 3-of-18 shooting for Kentucky (1-1). Bria Goss had 11 points.
Griner missed her first two shots, and put Baylor up 13-8 when she finally scored on a layup $6\frac{1}{2}$ minutes into the game. That started a 2-minute span when the 6-foot-8 All-American scored 10 points, extended the lead to 23-13.
She then made 11 consecutive field goals before missing a short hook shot with just under 10 minutes left in the game. By that time Baylor led 69-33, and Griner was out of the game for good on the next timeout.
The Lady Bears head to Hawaii next, where they play fourth-ranked Stanford on Friday in the opener of the Rainbow Wahine Classic. That
is a rematch of last season's national semifinal game Baylor won 59-47 in Denver.
The only other time Baylor played back-to-back top-10 opponents during the regular season was 2004, when they did it twice against Texas and Texas Tech.
Goss made a layup for Kentucky with 7:52 left, it was 25-15. The Wildcats then went more than five minutes without scoring until Goss made a 3-pointer.
In the meantime, Baylor scored 17 points in a row. Sims had 10 of those
points, including a pair of three-point plays, the later with 3:04 left that stretched the lead to 42-15.
Kentucky's tenacious defense — a pressure, trapping, and often inyour-face attack — forced 22 turnovers. But the Wildcats managed only 12 points off those miscues.
That wasn't nearly enough to beat the Lady Bears, who have also won 42 games in a row at home. That is tied with Miami (Fla.), for the second longest active home winning streak behind Stanford's 80 in a row.
Sims, Griner and Williams were
already in double-figure scoring by halftime. Brooklyn Pope finished with 10 points.
Griner had her 82nd consecutive double-figure scoring game while playing 29 minutes, when she also had five blocked shots and three steals. Her Big 12-record 606 career blocked shots are 57 behind the NCAA mark
Kentucky plays its next four games at home before its Dec. 2 instate showdown at eighth-ranked Louisville.

Jayhawks need to remain focused against Redhawks
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
22 KANSAS 5
With another game in Allen Fieldhouse, the No. 25 Jayhawks look to improve on a weak offensive showing in their last game as they face the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks tonight.
In Kansas' last game, it shot 30.8 percent, however, the Jayhawks pulled through with a win.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she isn't worried about the shots not falling because that will happen, but it's the defense that has to get better because Southeast Missouri State brings good shooters to the game.
"If we give them open shots and want to turn this into a game of horse, it's not going to be good for us. We have to get up and guard better." Henrickson said.
Redhawk sophomore Allyson Bradshaw is one of the players Henrickson said the team has to cover. Bradshaw is capable of shooting deep three-pointers; she shot 116 three-pointers last season, and the trend has continued. She is shooting 5-of-11 from the key, and the Jayhawks' defense will have to be in check in order to block Bradshaw's open shots.
"We have to get pressure, get up in there and not let them get rhythm threes" Henrickson said.
Henrickson said she has preached defensive pressure to the squad every day during the young season, so it's nothing new.
The Jayhawks aren't looking at what the Redhawks did — or did not do — a season ago when they finished 7-22, and they aren't looking at the fact that they are picked to finish last in the Ohio Valley Conference.
None of that matters, as they are treating this game as if it were a Big 12 game.
"Every game is the next biggest game of the year," sophomore
forward Bunny Williams said. "We should come out with the same intensity that we would if we were playing Baylor or any team in the Big 12."
"We know that now, because sometimes we've lost focus and the team has stayed with us," Goodrich said. "We just can't lose focus and take for granted on who we're playing. We have to treat it like a Big 12 game."

K-State quarterback remains a front-runner for Heisman
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Every week, the pressure on Collin Klein becomes a little more oppressive.
The senior quarterback has No. 2 Kansas State atop the BCS standings with two games standing in the way of likely playing for a national title. Klein's the front-runner for the Heisman Trophy, the poster boy for the program and this week the cover boy for Sports Illustrated.
It's enough to make even the most ardent Bill Snyder disciple lose focus.
Whenever that focus starts to wane or the spotlight shines so brightly that Klein can hardly see, the star player turns to his closest confidant for a sympathetic ear.
And he happens to be his teammate.
It happens to be his younger brother, Kyle.
"I mean, no doubt about it, other than my wife, he's my best friend," Klein said during an interview with The Associated Press. "There's obviously a businesslike mentality for both of us when we're on the field, but it's still totally a brotherly connection as well."
The truth is that they are rarely on the field together.
The elder Klein has become one of the biggest names in college football, his face popping up everywhere. His younger brother is a backup wide receiver who redshirted last season, and who has yet to catch a pass during his
But the bond that holds them together extends far enough beyond the field. Kyle is one of the first people Collin seeks when he needs a sounding board. Their relationship takes the notion of a brotherhood in the locker room to a literal level, one that is rare in the high-stakes world of college football, where scholarships aren't handed out to the underserving.
freshman year with the Wildcats.
"It's truly been a blessing when it worked out that he was able to come and play here," Collin Klein said.
"The times we've been able to share growing up in high school, and to be able to extend that into both our college careers, has been invaluable."

Despite backlash, D'Antoni's hiring positive for the Lakers
T
The Los Angeles Lakers continued to upset most of their fans late Sunday night when plans to hire Mike D'Antoni as coach became official. D'Antoni agreed to a three-year deal with the team worth $12 million.
Many NBA experts and Lakers fans hoped and believed that the Lakers were going to bring back 11-time NBA title winner and Basketball Hall of Famer Phil Jackson, but team officials decided that D'Antoni was the best fit. Jackson was told by the Lakers that he had until Monday to accept the job, but received a phone call from Lakers ownership late Sunday night telling him of D'Antoni's hiring, and was "stunned" by the news.
By Drew Harms
dkharms1@ku.edu
Lakers coach Mike Brown was fired last Friday after starting the season at 1-4, and during the Lakers game that night, fans chanted, "We want Phil!" continuously throughout the game.
D'Antoni's hiring has upset many Lakers fans who argue that they'd much rather have a coach who is a proven winner in LA with the titles to back it up rather than settling for D'Antoni, who has never won an NBA title.
According to ESPN's Chris Brossard, Lakers officials aren't claiming that D'Antoni's a better coach than Phil Jackson
but that he was better-equipped for the team roster than Jackson. The Lakers ownership believed that D'antoni's style of offense was also a better fit than Jackson's signature triangle offense.
There were rumors that Jackson wanted a lot of money, too many days off and too much control of the team. These rumors were likely another major factor that came into play when Lakers owner Jerry Buss made his decision to go with D'Antoni.
As Laker Kobe Bryant said of the hiring: "I love PJ, but I'm very excited about D'Antoni."
D'Antoni is known for his up-tempo offense that he emphasized when he coached the Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks. These teams both excelled in
almost every offensive category expect for defense. D'Antoni was criticized when he coached the Suns and Knicks for not stressing defense enough. Most of the teams he's coached in the past were always second or third-to-last in most defensive statistics in the NBA.
D'Antoni's resume as an NBA coach:
* 10 seasons of coaching; Denver Nuggets (1998-1999), Phoenix Suns (2003-2005), New York Knicks (2008-2012)
- 5 postseason appearances (reaching the conference finals twice with the Phoenix Suns, 2005/2006)
    2004/2005 NBA Finals vs. Yankees
- 2004-2005 NBA Coach of the Year One Laker quite familiar with D'Antoni and his style is veteran guard Steve Nash. Nash played under D'Antoni for four years and won back-to-back MVP awards in the 2004 and 2005 seasons under the Suns and D'Antoni. D'Antoni will try to help the 38-year-old point guard find his stride with his new team. Nash has been hurt for a majority of the season and is struggling to find consistency on the offensive end now that he's recovered.
So far the Lakers have acted more like the New York Jets, getting plenty of media attention and drama but no success or play to back it up. The Lakers will get one thing
KU
for sure with the hire of D'Antoni, and that's plenty of fireworks. The Lakers will be a much more exciting team to watch now that D'Antoni has the reins. Look for more alley-oops, three-point shooting and scoring, scoring, scoring.
D'Antoni is expected to arrive in Los Angeles either today or Thursday and hopes he can help turn this veteran team around so it can be a legit threat when postseason arrives.

COMMENTARY Despite record football team has improved
Jayhawks prepare to meet Sooners tonight
PAGE 7
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
After the second game of the football season, I wrote in this very spot that Kansas wouldn't win another game.
While I may end up being right about the record, I was very wrong about how it would happen. After Kansas lost to Rice, I thought this season would mirror the last two — embarrassing.
1-11.
I thought the team would look incompetent on the field and that the coaching would be the same. After all, we had heard all off-season about how good Dayne Crist and the other transfers would be, and it appeared to be a farce.
1-11.
Senior forward Jeff Withey grabs a defensive rebound in last night's game against Michigan State in Atlanta.
TARA RRYANT/KANSAN
This season, however, has been an entirely different tale. It's been a story of improvement and a story of falling short.
None of the above could easily have been said after last seasons 2-10 debacle.
They've got a legitimate chance to win this Saturday against Iowa State and to really prove me wrong.
Although 1-11 or not, they already have.
I thought wrong.
Edited by Christy Khamphilay
Let's look back at that Rice game because that's where it all began. That's when the close losses began. Kansas lost on a last-second field goal to the Owls. Crist, the supposed golden boy of Kansas football, looked far from special.
Why does all of this matter?
Because, in the end, this football team has gotten far better than I could have imagined just 10 weeks ago.
Then against TCU, the Horned Frogs were held to only 20 points. Kansas only scored six points, but the layhawks still had a legitimate chance to win that game.
And then there's Northern Illinois, where Kansas lost on the road 30-23. Another close lose. Another game Kansas had a chance to win.
Kansas State was a second-half blowout that looked Turner Gillesque, but let's face it, the Wildcats could be playing for the National Championship in January.
There was the rainy Oklahoma State game, where Kansas lost 20-14 to a team that put up more than 50 points in the first half against them just one year ago.

Oklahoma and Baylor were never close, but growing pains are expected when a program is being built.
Look at the Texas and Texas Tech games, though. Kansas came within plays of winning both of these games. Never would I have imagined either of these games being close after that loss to Rice.

The Jayhawks take an early loss after falling in the final seconds to Michigan State

ATLANTA — There was no miracle this time for the Kansas men's basketball team. Senior guard Travis Releford's three-point shot bounced off the rim, the buzzer sounded, and the game ended.
Down three with less than 13 seconds left, the layhawks ran their "chop" play, the same play they ran down three in the 2008 National Championship game, except this time the ball didn't go in the hoop and Kansas lost to Michigan State 67-64 in their 2012 Champions Classic matchup.
"Leaving my hand it felt great, it just didn't go in," Releford said. "I also kind of rushed it because of the time, but it was a good look. Ben wasn't open, that was the guy we were trying to get the ball to at the end."
Releford wasn't supposed to be the one to wind up with the ball in his hands, but Kansas coach Bill Self wasn't disappointed with the shot he took.
On the final play, Self wanted senior guard Elijah Johnson to try and make a quick drive to the lane for a two-point basket to prevent the Spartans from faulting them before they could get a shot off.
After the quick two didn't materialize, Johnson had a chance to take the three-point shot to try and tie the game because of Michigan State defense's mix-up. Its 270-pound center Derrick Nix found himself guarding Johnson at the top of the arc.
But Johnson didn't shoot it.
"It was really take the first available open shot that we could," Johnson said. "I put that all on me. I think that I could've made a better decision than that. And that time, coach put the ball in my hands to make the play and I felt like I didn't do a great job at it."
Freshman guard Ben McLemore, who showed no fear for the majority of his first big-time game by scoring 14 points on the night, showed his youth on the final play.
The Jayhawks found themselves behind after watching their fivepoint lead with less then five minutes to play evaporate as Michigan State guard Keith Appling finished off the Spartan charge.
McLemore didn't come off a screen the way Self wanted him to, and ended up in a different position than the play that Self

didn't really hedge him to make him change directions and he just stopped and made a three," Self said. "That was probably the biggest shot of the game other than his drive there later."
"That's the thing. Coach wanted the seniors to step up and at the end, we kind of shied away from it, failed at doing that," Releford said. "We can blame ourselves, the upperclassmen, because the underclassmen did all they could and they gave us what they were capable of"

In the end, the Jayhawks, despite having four players with extensive Final Four experience, couldn't respond to the final blow dealt by Michigan State.

That play had a direct impact on the drive, as it affected how senior center Jeff Withey played Appling on Michigan State's last possession when Appling beat Withey to the rim for a layup to give the Spartans a three-point lead.
Kansas head coach Charlie Weis has a discussion with officials during the game against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, on Saturday.
"He did a little hesitation move and I thought he was going to probably shoot the three, and I was just late getting back there." Withey said. "Usually, you know, I'm pretty good at going up and blocking stuff like that, but he did a little pump fake type deal and made the basket."
Weis focuses on a winning for seniors
And that three-point lead set up the Jayhawks ill-fated last second shot.

Kansas coach Charlie Weis made it clear during his weekly press conference that he wants this week to be about the seniors. He doesn't want to win this Saturday against Iowa State for his satisfaction. He wants a win this week to give the seniors a win to remember. Weis went as far as taking it to Twitter, asking fans to come to this Saturdays' game.
"They're going to remember the camaraderie with their teammates," Weis said. "You don't focus on the bad things. You focus on the good things and there are still a couple of opportunities for some good memories yet to be created."
This senior class is unique compared to previous ones. Weis not
Saturday's match against the Cyclones will be the final time the senior Jaylaws take the field at Memorial Stadium. Kansas will honor its 23-member senior class before this game.
Like Weis, the seniors would like to finish their long season on a high note after all they've been through this season. Those who have spent their entire playing career in Kansas have played under three different head coaches.
But even through the rough times, the seniors will always treasure the opportunity to play football in the Big 12. From the moment they committed until the day they turn in their uniforms, the seniors will leave Lawrence with long-lasting memories and friendships.
"I can't even imagine that," Weis said. "They've gutted it out and bought in (to all three coaching systems). I would like them to walk out of here with a good taste in their mouth."

Four-star recruit makes verbal commitment to KU for 2013-14 season
The Kansas men's basketball team's 2013 class added another player when Joel Embid, a 7-foot center from the Rock School in Gainesville, Fla., made a verbal commitment to the Jayhawks on Tuesday.
Embiid, a four-star recruit according
to rivals.com, is a Cameroon native who came to the U.S. last year. He participated in the NBA and FIBA's "Basketball without Borders" program.
Embid, who didn't start playing basketball until the age of 16, transferred to the Rock School after playing last season for Montverde Academy in Florida.
"Proud to be a Jayhawk," Embid tweeted from his account @jojo_embid on Tuesday morning.

TWO JAYHAWKS NAMED
TO WATCH LIST
Kansas senior center Jeff Withey and freshman guard Ben McMorrow were
named to the 2012-2013 Naismith early season watch list by the Atlanta Tip-off club on Tuesday.
In the Jayhawks first game of the season against Southeast Missouri State, Withey scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. The 2012 Big 12 defensive player of the year was named to the Wooden preseason 50 list and was also selected as an AP Preseason All-American Honorable Mention.
McLemore scored nine points and grabbed 12 rebounds in his first career game. The freshman was forced to redshirt last season after being ruled a partial qualifier by the NCAA.
The Attanta Tip-off club will trim the list down to 30 names in late February before the voting academy will cut the list to the final four candidates in March.

"I told them I was the DD. I took out the money to pay for it, but they didn't take it," said Wang, a senior from Lawrence.

system, and they loved it," said Hannah Bolton, student body president. "The free queso at Tapas is a big incentive."
Many bars around town offer free non-alcoholic beverages or snacks to those who identify themselves as the designated driver for the night. In order to make this option known to students and incorporate a better method to discern designated drivers from the rest of bar-govers, Student Senate and the Jayhawk Buddy System teamed up to create the Responsible Refreshments program.
Frank DeSalvo, Associate Vice Provost for Student Success, said the program would act as a
reminder to students that this option is available.
Nine bars and restaurants are participating in the program, and each received a shipment of wristbands that act as tickets for receive free refreshments. People who identify themselves as the DD will receive a wristband when they enter the location.
"I've been at two locations where we've had our DD use the
Tapas, 724 Massachusetts St., serves free chips and queso or salsa to the designated drivers. Jackie Woolf, bar manager, said employees wear T-shirts to promote Responsible Refreshments, and about a dozen people have taken advantage of the program so far.
"We've gotten a really good reaction from it," Woolf said. "Were happy to give them that, and it's a positive thing to show other people."
"My sense is that there is a growing number of students who are actually going through the process of figuring out who's going to be the designated driver for

program, which was part of the platform that KUnited ran on last spring. DeSalvo set up a meeting with Woodard and several Lawrence bar owners. The response was positive, and DeSalvo expects that, through time, the number of participating locations will increase.
"The bars are in competition and so if they find that people are frequenting these bars that offer this program more than their own, they're going to need to step up," DeSalvo said. "My guess is that if they contacted every bar up and down Mass. or anywhere in Lawrence, I can't imagine any bar owner turning them down."
The goal of the program is to increase student safety and offer another route besides SafeRide or SafeBus. Wang said she would now consider being a designated driver again.
"I think it's nice to not have to pay for something non-alcoholic to drink at a bar for being the responsible one," she said.
Several bars and restaurants are participating in the program including: Tonic, 728 Massachusetts St., Tapas, 724 Massachusetts St., Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St., The Wagon Sthe, 507 W.

'Live Group Sex Therapy preaches self-confidence
BRET IVY

the event not knowing what to expect.
"I have no idea what this show is about," said Grace Nicholson, a freshman from Overland Park. "I'm assuming just a lot about sex. That's what drew me into going in the first place."
"I really want to laugh," said Amir Moghaddami, a sophomore from Wichita. "It's kind of interesting, and I've never been a part of something like this. It should be pretty cool!"
However, sex was not the only reason people came to the show.
"Even though the title of the show is 'The Live Group Sex Therapy Show,' the show isn't really about sex," host Daniel Packard said. "However, I believe strongly that if everyone listens to what I have to say, one day you may be confident enough to find someone you like enough to have sex with!"
When the show started, it was clear that it would be much different than anyone anticipated.
Packard then led the audience through experiments to see what some were doing wrong in their relationships, or even what they could do to become more confident in their everyday lives.
"One thing I really learned from the show tonight was to have more respect for yourself and to be confident," said Sarah Willingham, an Olathe freshman.
"He also said that you really need to be yourself," Olathe
freshman Seth McFadden said. "You have to know and love yourself before you can focus on anyone else."
"Daniel was hilarious," said Mike Valentino, SUA special events coordinator. "He really helped all the people who came out to the show tonight really learn something, and it's great that we got him out here."
To relay this message, Packard used a wide variety of comedy.

Despite being able to help those who come to his shows, Packard also wants to spread his message to more people.
"For those who weren't able to go the show, one thing I want people to learn is fairly simple," Packard said. "What keeps people from love is that they're afraid. People, though, have to learn to step out of their comfort zone is scary, but all it takes is courage. When in doubt, don't think, have courage, and go for it."

When offensive captain 'Tanner Hawkinson takes the field on Saturday, it will be his 47th career start for the Jayhawks, breaking Hessley Hempstead's 1994 school record. It will also be the last time Hawkinson suits up in front of his classmates and asserts himself as the rock of the Kansas offensive line.

After five years, Hawkinson's Kansas career is coming to a close.

backs James Sims and Tony Pierson looking to hit their college primes in 2013.
Part of his lasting legacy at Kansas will be the dominant run game that has puzzled virtually every Big 12 team this year. A large reason for the success is the blocking from the offensive line. With four of those blockers graduating this season, including tight end Mike Ragone, there will be plenty of question marks up front, especially with running
Hawkinson isn't worried, though; he's been watching the guys below him on the depth chart. He knows what's coming.
"Some of the true freshman guys like Brian Beckmann and even some of the redshirt guys like Damon Martin have improved throughout the year," Hawkinson said. "All of the young guys have done a great job of coming to work everyday and looking to improve."
Some of those guys are already starting to pay dividends.
Luke Luhrsen redshirted his freshman year in 2011 and has spent time on the practice squad this season. Yet at 6-foot-3 and 292 pounds, it was hard to imagine him staying out of games for long.
His drought ended last week against Texas Tech.

Kobach files lawsuit over votes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — The office of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who has gone to federal court to prevent a persistent critic from getting a list of voters who cast provisional ballots in a close legislative race, did not try to stop the release of similar information in another primary earlier this year, officials said Wednesday.
Democratic Rep. Ann Mah of Topeka, who trails her GOP rival by 44 votes in last week's election, asked a state court to force county officials to provide the names of those who cast as yet-uncounted provisional votes in her district, and a state judge ordered it. Kobach, a Republican, responded with a federal lawsuit, arguing that Mah and her GOP challenger should not be allowed to contact voters who cast provisional ballots.
Kobach contends that the release of 131 such voters' names to Mah and her GOP challenger, Ken Corbet, violates federal law. A hearing in the secretary of state's litigation was set Wednesday afternoon.
Reno County Deputy Election Officer Jenna Fager told the AP that she had asked the secretary of state's office for guidance but didn't get a definitive answer before a deadline in the state's Open Records Act led her to provide the names to Bishop.
But documents provided to The Associated Press on Wednesday show that the losing candidate in a close Democratic primary in August for a state House seat in Reno County requested — and received — far more information about voters casting provisional ballots than Mah and her GOP challenger.
Erich Bishop of Hutchinson received the names, addresses and reasons for provisional ballots in his primary. Mah, after her successful state court fight last week, received only names. Both Bishop and Mah received the information by filing open records requests.
Kobach's office sent two memos to county election officials last week advising them against releasing names or other information about voters who cast provisional ballots.
"It has been the consistent policy of the secretary of state's office, going back years," Kobach said.
Mah and Corbet want to contact voters who cast provisional ballots and help correct potential problems so their votes will be added to the nearly 10,700 already counted in the 54th District when Douglas and Shawnee counties certify election results Thursday. Mah carried the Shawnee County portion of the district and hopes to pick up enough votes there to erase Corbet's lead.
Provisional ballots are cast when election workers aren't sure people are eligible to vote at particular polling places, for reasons including the lack of a proper photo ID, a recent
Kobach, a former law professor, is known nationally for helping to draft laws in Arizona and Alabama cracking down on illegal immigration and also pushed successfully in Kansas for a law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls. Mah has repeatedly criticized him and the law, though she voted for one version, the final one, in 2011.
move or, for some women, a name change upon getting married. Each ballot is placed in an enclosure and set aside for further review.
After Mah filed her lawsuit in state district court, Shawnee County emailed her and Corbet a two-page list with 104 provisional voters' names, in no particular order.
The 54th District includes parts of Douglas, Shawnee and Osage counties, but Osage County certified its results Monday, without releasing the names of provisional voters to the candidates. Douglas County released the names of 27 voters to Mah on Thursday, just hours before Kobach's office issued its first memo advising against it and before the court battles began.

Ethnic fighting a concern for Afghans
Mulah Dawad speaks during an interview in his small shop in Marjah, southern Helmand province, Afghanistan. Dawad scoffed when he recalled the 2010 operation, saying they were told prosperity would follow.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARIJAH, Afghanistan — Patrolling in all-terrain vehicles that whip up clouds of dust, members of Afghanistan's elite Civil Order Police might be viewed as outsiders here in southern Helmand province, an ethnic Pashtun heartland where residents talk wistfully of the Taliban's rule, call NATO troops invaders and refer to Afghan government officials as thieves.
Col. Khalil Rahman and the 441 police under his command in the 3rd Battalion are almost all from northern Afghanistan and belong to minority ethnic groups. Many don't even speak Pashto, the language of most southerners. That could be a recipe for conflict in this majority Pashtun country that descended into a bloody civil war over ethnic lines in the 1990s.
Yet Rahman said he asked for each of his three deployments to Helmand and is planning to settle his bride of two months in the provincial capital, Lashar Gah.
"This is my country, all of it. I asked to come here," said Rahman, 30, whose clean-shaven face and tightly cropped hair contrasts with most local men, who wear unkempt bushy beards and the traditional turban. Still, when they met in the villages, he embraced them in the traditional hug and Pashtu greeting of "May you not get weary."
As the U.S. and NATO close out their mission in Afghanistan preparing for the final withdrawal of combat troops by the end of 2014, the worry looms large that fresh outbursts of ethnically motivated fighting would send the country into a spiral of chaos and violence that could give al-Qaida the toehold it needs to re-establish camps to plot attacks on Western targets and train wannabe jihadis.
But an Associated Press reporter and photographer who accompanied the 3rd Battalion for a week
"No one helps us," said Abdul Qayyum, who was up to his elbows in mud after stepping away from repairing his sun-baked mud home. "The situation was good before the fighting," he said.
did not observe any hostility among local residents to the Civil Order Police, known as ANCOP. Instead, they channeled much of their anger toward government officials, an international community they said reneged on promises of development and the U.S.-financed Afghan Local Police.
Qayyum was referring to the joint NATO, U.S. and Afghan assault on Taliban bases in Marjah, a sprawling region of dozens of small mud villages with a total population of less than 50,000. The idea behind the February 2010 counterinsurgency operation — the largest in Afghanistan since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion — was to kick out the Taliban and make Marjah a model of development and good governance, a shining example of how an area can prosper if it spurs the Taliban and embraces the Afghan government.

Al-Qaida officials linked to U.S. consulate attack
PARIS — Some of the culprits in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, had links to al-Qaida's North Africa arm, a top U.S. military official said Wednesday, adding that it remained unclear if the terror network led or organized the deadly assault whose victims
included an American ambassador.
Al-Qaida links had been suspected in the attack on Sept. 11, but not publicly detailed, and an investigation is underway. U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three others were killed. The assault occurred around the same time that protests erupted in Muslim countries over an anti-Islam film made in the United States.
Gen. Carter Ham, the head of the U.S. military's Africa Command, said some of the attackers had ties to Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, which was built on the remains of a former Algerian militant group.
"Clearly some of these individuals have some linkages to AQIM," Ham told reporters in Paris. "That's not to say that this was an AQIM- organized or organized
or led activity." He did not elaborate.
Associated Press
AQIM and its allies control a vast swath of neighboring Mali. The United States and France are among the Western powers that are worried about the Sahel region of northeastern Mali could become a terrorist haven, and are pushing for international action in the region.

Venezuela deports wanted drug lord
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan authorities deported a prominent drug trafficking suspect to Colombia on Wednesday, nearly two months after his capture in an operation aided by Colombian and U.S. authorities.
Colombian officials consider Daniel Barrera one of the country's most-wanted drug lords. Barrera was handcuffed as he led to a waiting plane at Caracas international airport along with two other drug suspects, including a U.S. citizen.
Barrera is known as "El Loco," or "The Madman," and Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has called him "the last of the great capos."
Venezuelan Justice Minister Nestor Reverol said Barrera had a false passport when he was captured in September in the southwestern Venezuelan city of San Cristobal.
The 50-year-old Barrera was arrested after Colombian officials,
who had been working with U.S. and British authorities, notified Venezuela that Barrera was making a call from one of dozens of public phones that were being monitored, officials said.
Colombia police say Barrier had been in Venezuela since 2008 and owned ranches worth millions of dollars. Colombian police had offered a reward of about $2.5 million for information leading to his arrest.
The authorities have said Barrera operated in a swath of eastern Colombia including areas along the border in Venezuela, and had a drug smuggling alliance with rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as the FARC.
According to a 2010 grand jury indictment in U.S. District Court in New York, Barrera was both manufacturing and trafficking drugs on a large scale, buying raw cocaine paste from FARC rebels and converting it into cocaine at his labs in eastern Colombia.

started to sprinkle in more and more to get a little taste. We call it 'get your feet wet,' where you just get a little bit of game action."
There may have been some doubt as to whether Luhrsen was ready, but he had his supporters, and they weren't just on the offensive side of the ball.
Senior defensive end Toben Opurum has been facing Lahrsen all year in practice. He's seen the Illinois native's potential and how quickly he's begun to reach it.
"I don't think a lot people were real high on him at the beginning of the season," Opurum said. "Since he's come down to scout team, he's helped us a lot. He's a work-hard guy and a very physical guy, that alone will put him in a position to get reps."
Even losing a big body like Mike Ragone at tight end will be a loss, and while Jimmy Mundine has started to emerge, he isn't the only one: Jordan Shelley Smith has been slowly rising as well.
It also helps the maturation process having an experienced 24-year-old Ragone helping out a 19-year-old freshman, even if it can be intimidating at times.
"He was so nervous the first day," Ragone said of Shelley-Smith. "I was lined up in my three-point stance, and he was lined up in his, and he tried to undercut me, but he punched me right in the mouth. He was so shaken up."
Apparently not too shaken up, though. Shelley-Smith ended up punching Ragone again a few plays later. Chalk it up to the learning process.
Luhrsen, Mundine, Shelley-
Smith — they're all coming, and
they'll be thrown into an experienced mix. A mix of guys like Gavin Howard, Aslam Sterling and Randall Dent. Guys who have had the fortune of playing with the likes of Duane Zlatnik, Trevor Marrongelli and Tanner Hawkinson.
While those three seniors won't be around to see Kansas' success, they will be a big reason for it if the wins start piling up. They've already made sure of that.
"We've been there to show the younger guys this is how you've got to work each day," Hawkinson said. "We'll talk to some of the guys who are going to be seniors next year, too, and tell them. 'You've got to keep this going.' I think they're going to be in good hands for years to come."

GOP missing out on young votes
POLITICS
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Republicans' inability to communicate with young people is one reason they lost last week's election, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich told his audience of more than 400 at the Dole Institute of Politics Wednesday evening. In an interview with institute director Bill Lacy, Gingrich, a former presidential hopeful, discussed the election, the future of the Republican party and his new novel, "Victory at Yorktown."
"People under 30 get more news from Colbert and from the The Daily Show than they do from any cable network." Gingrich said. "To not compete in that market is to put yourself at a stunning disadvantage." Appearing on the Colbert Report the night before, Gingrich noted how Republicans candidates, including Mitt Romney, have largely been absent from venues geared toward younger audiences.
Gingrich also said a left-leaving higher education environment swayed the youth vote toward the left. But if economic conditions do not improve, Gingrich predicts younger people may be more persuaded to conservative ideas.
Gingrich spoke on his book about the Revolutionary War alongside his collaborator, author William Forstchen, and laid out the dramatized end to the war while drawing allusions to the current political environment and American Exceptionalism.
Kristin Nance, a senior from Topeka and study group coordinator for the institute, said despite Gingrich's conservative politics, his historical knowledge gives him bipartisan appeal.
"Gingrich is a fantastic analyst, and he is typically the smartest man in the room," Nance said. "He can be a polarizing figure, but he brings a lot of insight to the table."
James Leiker, a junior from Haven, supported Gingrich during the Republican primaries.
Hoping to leave with an autographed copy of Gingrich's book, Leiker enjoyed hearing Gingrich's political opinions.
"Until the minority and youth vote increase its support for Republicans, it's going to be impossible for them to get a president elected," Leiker said.
And while Christina Ostmeyer, a freshman from Colby, considers herself politically liberal, she agreed with Gingrich's stance opposing super-PACs and excessive campaign spending.
"I was a little wary of what he would have to say, but I was pleasantly surprised that I agreed with most of what he had to say," Ostmeyer said. However, she noticed most topics remained neutral, which kept Gingrich from having to take a political stance. Instead he relied on his dry humor to provide analysis.
"He didn't let policy issues get in the way." Ostmeyer said.

Gonzo journalism display to be held by alumnus
EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com
The image provided does not contain any text to recognize or transcribe. Therefore, no transcription can be performed.
Photojournalism and art are one and the same for Gary Mark Smith. The street photographer will be holding a lecture, "Gary Mark Smith, Gonzo Visionary: The Methodology of a Most Unusual Fine Art Career," tonight from 6-8 p.m. in the Hancock Ballroom of the Oread Hotel, 1200 Oread Ave., to discuss his motivations and life experiences.
Smith is a KU alumnus and world-renown photographer. Since graduating from the School of Journalism in 1984, he has worked in nearly 70 countries — from Cold War Russia to the slums of Brazil — across six continents to become known for blurring the line between documentation and art. Smith's work generally depicts people in their everyday life, but he is best known for his photographs of war, natural disaster and revolution.
Gary Mark Smith, a KU alumnus and photojournalist, will be speaking in the Hancock Ballroom of The Oread from 6-8 p.m. He will present about his experiences during his career as a street photographer.
RENEE DUMLER/KANSAN
“This is definitely unlike anything that we've done at the library before,” said Rebecca Smith, KU Library's Executive Director of Communications, Advancement and Administration. “Gary Mark Smith is one of the most honest people I've ever met. This is will be a no-holds barred conversation. He will talk very openly about his experiences.”
"I think that his artistic goal is that journalism is a part of art," Rebecca said. "If you were to look at the photos, you'd see a much more evocative story than what you might be able to read in the
The Gary Mark Smith presentation is one of a series of events hosted by the library that engage with donors and friends of the library.
paper."
Gary Mark Smith has donated thousands of photographs as well as articles both authored by him and about him to the Kenneth Spencer Research Library. Students can request to view this collection in-person at the surface desk.
"The images really do tell the rest of the story," Rebecca said. "And most importantly, they talk about the people who are involved in these particular issues
or encounters and how it affects their lives."
"Gary Mark Smith, Gonzo Visionary" will cover topics such as street photography's place in photojournalism and his artistic and personal practices. The lecture is free and open to any students interested in the fields of journalism or visual art.

Simple precautions can stave off flu
HEALTH
It happens every year and without any type of warning. Well, other than the warning signs from the guy coughing all over everyone in class, the girl too busy on her phone to cover her sneeze or the added stress of the semester that breaks down your immune system. All signs point to the flu.
The movie "Contagion" really did a number on me. It me thinking about all the different places where germs lurk and to also buy a full-body hazardous material suit or at the very least, a face mask.
According to the Simmons College Center for Hygiene and Health, dorm room refrigerators contain twice as much bacteria than a dorm room toilet handle.
Desktops can contain almost 400 times the amount of bacteria than the average toilet. You might be thinking, "Should I just stay in the bathroom because that's my best option if I want to avoid germs?" No; just wash your hands.
The Centers for Disease Control says the most simple, most effective way to ward off diseases and germs leading to the flu is to wash your hands. I always wash my hands but not long enough. Your hand washing should last as long as it takes you to say the alphabet in your head, or say it out loud – whatever works. After you dry your hands, use the same paper towel to open the door and leave feeling clean. We've all seen the guy that turns on the faucet or opens the door with a paper towel. He's on to something. What about the guy that leaves the bathroom without washing his hands? Well, he's just doomed.

And don't forget about getting your flu shot. I ask my friends and they typically say the same thing. "I'm not getting my flu shot because I don't want to get sick." Like an episode of "Myth-Busters," I'm here to say that is a myth. Yes, the flu shot contains
actual strains of the viruses but it's killed bacteria. The risk of getting the flu from an actual flu shot is minimal. I'm not a doctor, though I might look like one if you see me on campus with my facemask trying to stay healthy, but ask your doctor for side effects.
Lastly, this goes to all student body: If you are sick and have a fever, do us all a favor and stay home. I got the flu pretty early this year and I'm confident I know the class I was sitting in when I, along with other classmates, were hit with cough after cough of spewing mucus from a sick person. Even if your fever is gone, it's advised to stay home 24 hours after your fever subsides.
People do not just miraculously get the flu. It's through
human contact and it could be the person you're standing or sitting next to right now. Overall, your best defense is to wash your hands and avoid touching your face throughout the day. While the movie "Contagion" left us with the horrific statistic that the average person touches their face between 2,000 to 3,000 times a day, it hasn't been proven. Still, I'd be conscious of anything that could get you sick. If you see me on campus with a facemask, you know why.

Reality 'stars' overcompensated
By Sean Noble
snoble@kansan.com
Every politician in our history likes to talk about the American dream. It's supposed to be attained through a lifetime of hard work and perseverance. Well then why do hard working Americans struggle every day and yet undeserving reality stars are rewarded by big money studios. Imagine being a staff member on a reality set where the reality "star" (I use that term loosely) makes much more than you for doing so much less. That's how we as Americans should feel. If you don't believe this issue needs focus then please, let me explain why it is.
To these studios I must ask, don't you have a lot of respect and admiration towards those who defend our nation? Does it come to the soldiers in the form of homelessness? Whether the number of homeless veterans changes, the one constant thing is there are still homeless veterans and yet it's OK because at least there's progress? Have you ever thought about your own shows from a different perspective? The fact that young adults from across the country are chosen to live in lavish million dollar houses and the only criterion that must be met to be a cast member includes physical attractiveness, ability to cause drama, and a fascination for alcohol, makes it seem as though these young adults are more deserving than our homeless veterans. Why isn't that money being used for the benefit of our soldiers rather than these wannabe actors?
As a student, you would consider yourself well educated. This country has always taken
great pride in educating young adults for the future. Countless years of sacrificing, studying and hard work bring average citizens to the point in life where they can become professionals and earn a decent salary. Those who cannot afford an education on their own must attain scholarships or take out student loans. According to the Associated Press, "53.6 percent, of bachelor's degree-holders under the age of 25 last year were jobless or underemployed." This means not only do college graduates have massive amounts of debt to repay but that they are graduating with one of two problems. These problems are that we as students either end up with no job or a job where we are not paid enough. How are we content with the fact that shows like "jersey Shore," with casts that do nothing more than fight, drink and cause drama are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars? Helping reality stars such as these by continuously supporting them is apparently much more important than our future financial success.
Think of the average person who makes up most of this country. There is the single mother who has to do it all on her own and/or the young adult who never got into college and
If Puerto Rico joins the United States or Texas secedes, I'll have learned the song "50 Nifty United States" FOR NOTHING!
has to work minimum wage just to survive. Why aren't they given the same opportunity to succeed financially? How about these people, the average American that are constantly promised by our presidents will be helped? Instead who is really being helped? According to the Huffington Post, Honey Boo Boo and family have received a raise, now earning $15,000 to $20,000 an episode. A family that exemplifies everything that a family shouldn't be is paid more in one episode than some make in a year. According to Celebuzz.com, on the show "Teen Mom," young pregnant and new mothers are paid $60,000 per episode for doing nothing more than allowing their lives to be filmed. Young single mothers across the country face the reality everyday of a life of struggles. What about the real hard-working responsible families struggling to survive or the single teen moms across the country?
As normal people deal with the life our government affords us, there are television companies who hand over hundreds of thousands of dollars to people simply because of ratings. This country needs an attitude adjustment and their priorities set right. The wrong people are being rewarded. If anyone in this country cared about those I spoke of at all, they would somehow work on eliminating these billion-dollar reality show industries to help out those in the real "real world."

CLASSROOM
Group projects boast an array of identities
By Lindsey Mayfield
lmayfield@kansan.com
Joke's on you, professors! I am onto your sick game and it for what it is: less work for you to grade and a chance to see who self-destructs under the pressure of interacting with other humans. It's all a big test, and I intend to pass with flying colors by recognizing this.
Let's talk for a minute about something we all know and love, which seems to be happening more and as the end of the semester approaches: The Dreaded Group Project
You're not quantifying data you've compiled through an online survey – you're figuring out how to get the stoner in your group to respond to your emails. And you're not creating a presentation about the Civil War – you're actually learning how reign in that overzealous history buff that wants to do some sort of battle reenactment.
Here are some of the common offenders - I mean, participants - in the group project scenario:
THE MOOCHER
This person quickly identifies you as someone who wants to pass this class, and has therefore determined you will do their work for them to avoid a huge hole in the project. The Moacher generally wears loose clothing like beanies and sweatpants, and - despite having no obvious commitments - can't seem to make it to group meetings more than twenty minutes late (if at all). Ways to cope with this person include doing their work for them or becoming a huge harpy until they do their part. Mostly just pray to god is one of those projects where everyone shares what they did at the end of the project and gets individual grades.
THE PERFECTIONIST
THE PERFECTIONIST This person takes charge of the group almost immediately. He
You know that one person in use class that no one really "gets?" This person is known for sitting in the back of the classroom and make odd comments at inopportune moments. For instance, when asked to tell an interesting fact about him or herself, this is the person who says, "I have a condition that causes uncontrollable burping, so don't be alarmed if I belch loudly during class" (true story). Okay, so maybe that was too specific, but you get the idea. It's not that this person won't do a good job on the project; it's just that working with them will require you to navigate through the weirdness just as much as the actual assignment. The thing to do in this situation is just to acknowledge the creepiness of such strange person and pretend it's not there. After awhile, you won't even notice when The Oddball starts chewing on her hair or drinking out of a tin can.
or she quickly splits up the entire project, starts making lists and informs you that they "really need an A on this project." Common statements by the perfectionist include,
"Here's what I think we should do..." "But Professor So-And-So said...," and "Did you guys get my email?" Having this person in your group can be great; they always do a great job on their parts of the project, and may even re-do your part if it's not exactly up-to-snuff.
On the downside, you'll have to endure constant emails, Facebook messages and even calls to your cell (gasp!). The best way to proceed is simply to let them do their thing and try not to get lost in the shuffle.
The list goes on and on. If you don't fit any of these categories, congratulations! It means you're (possibly) normal, but also that group projects are going to be horrifying for you until you graduate. The best news of all is that life after college is essentially just one big group project. So, in theory, working with some crazies during college can only help you with the real-world crazies that are to come.

CONCERT
Asher Roth to perform
Asher Roth is headlining the 2012 Fall Clashic tour, which is making a stop in Lawrence on Nov. 15 at the Granada.
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 15, 2012
In 2009 Roth jumped onto the scene with his single "I Love College," which is his most popular song. In 12 weeks it had more than 1 million downloads and peaked at No. 12 on Billboard's Hot 100. Since the success of "I Love College," things haven't been quite as swell for the Pennsylvania emcee. His debut album "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" sold a disappointing 65,000 copies in the first week, and Roth stirred controversy in April 2009 with a tweet that caused allegations of racism.
"I Love College" was a double-edged sword for Roth. While it was an instant mainstream success, most hardcore hip-hop fans saw him as a gimmick and didn't take his music seriously. Since then Roth has been trying to establish himself as a credible rapper. He released a slew of free mixtapes and found a new label home at Def Jam, where he's prepping his next album, "Is This Too Orange?" With his new single "Wrestling is Fake," Roth is looking to get back on track.
Roth is bringing a few friends with him to Lawrence, including Chuck Inglish, one half of the rap duo The Cool King. Inglish has been releasing free instrumental-only mixtapes the past couple of years and is preparing to release his solo rap effort, "Convertibles" later this year.

Chicago Indie band Kids These Days will also be performing at the venue. The members recently released their studio album debut, "Traphouse Rock," this past September. The band is a fresh breath for music as it combines several genres in its music such as classic rock, hip-hop and jazz.
Fans across campus are getting excited for Roth's performance.
"I like his lyrics," Joshua Florez, a freshman from Wichita, said. "I feel like I can really relate to them, and he raps about things other rappers wouldn't. I can't wait to see him perform, Chuck Inglish, too. I've been waiting on this for a while now."
Tickets are still available for $13 in advance or $15 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m.

Most people's musical talents don't surpass Rock Band or Guitar Hero, but Lawrence has plenty of options to see people with actual talent. Local venues like The Granada and The Bottleneck bring in a wide variety of big name musical acts at an affordable price.
A look at the weekend's best
DYLAN DERRYBERRY
dderryberry@kansan.com
"The Brady Bunch" and "The Partridge Family" set a high standard for familial musical talent. In shows like these, everyone can sing, play an instrument and get along with one another long enough to record an album. In reality though, most families are
like mine: a star musical child and his tone-deaf, butterfingered siblings. Unfortunately, most of my family's musical talent went to my brother, leaving me with a dwelling karaoke career and a drinking and dancing problem. So aside from a few songs on Rock Band, I'm pretty much useless musically. Fortunately for anyone who has had to suffer through my
rendition of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," Lawrence offers plenty of chances to see real musical talent. This weekend especially, Lawrence has brought in a few acts that are sure to please.
Tonight at 7 p.m., The Granada has rapper Asher Roth playing for the low price of $15. For many my age, Roth's "I Love College" convinced us that we were about
to enter a universe where "time isn't wasted when you're getting wasted." Opinions would vary on how honest this song was, but even incoming freshmen are sure to have a good time at Roth's concert tonight.
If a rapper with an exaggerated education doesn't do it for you, KJHK is hosting a concert tonight featuring State Radio at The
Bottleneck. While many know of Roth's "College" antics, State Radio may be a bit off my age group's radar. You may have heard their 2010 single "Knights of Bostonia," which had me dancing like a New Englander any time I heard it. The Boston trio serves a healthy dose of reggae, ska and pink influence as well as politically driven lyrics. Don't run for fear of their messages, though. because State Radio is a lot of fun. Their more upbeat songs will keep you jumping up and down all night long, even if you don't care what they're singing about.
MUSIC
Whether you're into rock, rap or country, Lawrence brings in a lot of big-name bands worth checking out, especially if you're working with a tight budget. So even if you're not digging the lineups this weekend, keep looking, because you never know when your favorite band will stop by. If nothing else, we can all rock out on plastic guitars and rubber drum sets while singing off-key at the TV.
However, Thursday nights don't work for everyone, and aside from Lawrence's usual rocking local musicians, Saturday night at The Granada, The Randy Rogers Band is playing. Now, I know country music tends to polarize people, but as a Texas native, I don't mind a red dirt band from time to time. Hailing from the Lone Star State and sporting a fiddle, Randy Rogers and his team have had their fair share of successes. Like many boot scooters, these guys offer plenty of teariereks, so I'd suggest bringing a special somebody or finding a lonesome lover at the show.
State Radio's lyrics speak for social issues

State Radio will be playing at the Bottleton tonight. The Boston-based band consists of frontman Chad Stokes (of Dispatch and Chadwick Stokes), Chuck Fay on bass and Mike Najarian on drums. The trios most recent album, "Rabbit Inn Rebellion" explores the concepts of change and revolution. The lyrics of each song are inspired by true stories that reveal facts about the current state of the world.

The name for the album itself is loosely based on the true story behind the song, "Freckled Mary." Stokes explained that in the song there is a pub called The Rabbit Inn, and that "these kids were being chased by the cops, and they went into this pub, and the patrons saved the kids. That really happened."
In addition to releasing "Rabbit Inn Rebellion" in late October, Stokes' other band, Dispatch, released an album in August. When asked what it was like to have two albums drop within two months of each other, Stokes said, "It's confusing. You know, it was a lot of work getting them both out in the

Underneath the roots of rock, the message of hope is strong. State Radio is on a social mission — one that can be heard loud and clear in their songs that support the album and its urgency.
There are notable differences between the two albums and between the two bands. Stokes described State Radio to be "a little bit heavier, with more riffs and rock. It reaches more of a mania, kind of more mayhem. Just full-on loud and distorted and political." The influence behind the raw rock

Agent 007 (Daniel Craig) resists the advances of the troubblingly coffed cyberterrorist Silva (Javier Bardem) in Sam Mendes's "Skyllal," released last Friday.
Building a better Bond
LANDON MCDONALD
imcdonald@kansan.com
Director Sam Mendes celebrates the Bond franchise's 50th anniversary by throwing the world's greatest secret agent off a train, blowing up his beloved Aston Martin and threatening all of MI6 with the specter of obsolescence.
The result is 007's most successful outing since "Goldfinger," a superior espionage epic that approaches the classic Bond formula with equal parts reverence and subversive ingenuity. Just as Christopher Nolan retooled the Batman mythos by deepening its thematic complexity and enlisting the help of a first-rate cast, "Skyfall" functions as both a victory lap for the venerated series and an incisive commentary on terror in the digital age — a reminder that yesterday's cloak-and-dagger has become today's point-and-click.
In a spectacular opening scene that will banish any lingering memories of "Quantum of Solace" and its mania for hyper-editing, Bond and a rival assassin (Ola Rlapade) engage in a bare-knuckled brawl on the roof of a speeding locomotive. Using his subsequent injuries as an excuse to go off the grid, Bond returns only after MI6 headquarters is attacked by Silva (Javier Bardem), a former 00-agent whose acts of cyber-terrorism are part of a long-gestating vendetta against M (Judi Dench), Bond's imperious boss and grudging mother figure.
After two movies and a televised rendezvous with Queen Elizabeth II at the Olympic opening ceremony, Craig finally seems at home in the role, blending Bond's bluntforce physicality with a sense of humor dryer than the martinis he now instinctively swigs. He even attempts a Connery-esque repair-
tee with fellow agent Eve, played with cleverness and warmth by the lovely Naomie Harris, and the new Q (Ben Whishaw), recast as an impish tech whiz who boasts he can do more damage on his laptop before breakfast than Bond can do in a year's worth of fieldwork. The other requisite Bond girl is Silva's mistress Séverine, played with smoldering guile by newcomer Bérénice Marlohe.
But a film like "Skyfall" is only as good as its lead villain, and Bardem's Silva is a freakish marvel. With a cold, expressionless face and a hairstyle borrowed from a demonic Wooly Willy toy, Silva is dead behind the eyes, a living disguise kit meant to mask something broken and cruel. His pathological obsession with M is wiredly endearing in its Oedipal ambiguity, and a scene where he appears to flirt with Bond has the same black-mirror intensity as the interrogation room scene in "The Dark Knight." After watching him embryo monolithic evil in "No Country for Old Men," it's a joy to see Bardem loose as a more flamboyant heavy.
Yet the performance of the movie ends up belonging to Judi Dench, whose 17-year tenure as M has made the veteran actress one of the fixed points in a changing franchise. Here she's allowed to leave her desk and take center stage, squaring off against an oversight committee led by Gareth Mallory (Ralph Fiennes) amid charges of intelligence leaks and fears that her boots-on-the-ground methods are becoming irrelevant. It's fascinating to watch her gradually take responsibility for Silva, the monster she created through a ruthless judgment call.
Like all Bond movies, "Skyfall" offers no shortage of exotic locales, as 007 tracks Silva from the rooftops of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar to the silhouette skyscrapers of neon-drenched Shanghai. Roger Deakins, the famed English cinematographer best known for his collaborations with the Coen Brothers, frames every sequence with the precision and elegance of a painter, making this the most visually arresting installment in a series known for exuding effortless cool.
Mendes and Deakins save their best efforts for the third-act centerpiece: the nightfall siege of a manor house in the Scottish highlands, a masterful sequence that elevates "Skyfall" into the realm of grand tragedy. Its outcome also points to what's become a recurring theme in the newer 007 movies: Why does the James Bond character endure? What place does he have in the 21st century? I believe the answer can be found in the Tennyson poem "Ulysses," which M quotes in part towards the end of the film: "Old age hath yet his honour and its toll, death closes all, but something ere the end, some work of noble note, may yet be done."
Agent Eve puts it even more succinctly. "Old dog... new tricks"

Daniel Day-Lewis gives an uncanny performance as Honest Abe in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," set for a wide release this Friday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO
[Image of a man sitting at a desk, reading or writing].
Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" is a lovingly crafted, deliberately superficial history lesson bolstered by one of the finest performances of this or any other year. Simply put, Daniel Day-Lewis slips into the skin of Abraham Lincoln in a way that falls just shy of resurrection. What emerges isn't a waxwork imitation or some idealized martyr but a fully formed human being, given new weight and vital dimension by the most gifted actor of his generation.
FILM
The film, originally envisioned by screenwriter Tony Kushner ("Angels In America") as a life-spanning biopic, wisely narrows its focus to the last four months of Lincoln's life, when the President risked prolonging the Civil War by pressuring Congress to ratify the 13th Amendment and end the scourge of slavery.
Spielberg, who's reportedly tired of directing big action scenes, made the conscious decision to make "Lincoln" less about the Civil War and more about the legislative process, meaning that long stretches of the film are largely dialogue-driven. This approach works fine as long as Day-Lewis is on screen, but the movie tends to suffer during the Congress scenes, where the pro-slavery Democrats are reduced to mustache-twirling revisionist caricatures. Tommy Lee Jones does his best to keep things lively as the ornery abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens, head of the House's Radical Republicans, while James Spader and John Hawkes provide comic relief as a lautish pair of political fixers.
13025488706
We watch as Lincoln and his cabinet, including his loyal secretary of state, William Seward (David Strathairn), force the obstinate wheels of government to turn in their favor, employ tactics like corruption, ingratification and even bold-faced deception to ensure the amendment's passage. Politics has always been an underhanded business, and one can't help but admire Lincoln's tenacity in navigating a system where every vote is for sale and party loyalty is shed like snake-skin.
'Lincoln' belongs to the ages
Although "Lincoln" features appearances from noted character
The genius of a Day-Lewis performance is that it never quite feels like one. He finds the Emancipator's humanity without overemphasizing his flaws. There's a bone-deep weariness to his Lincoln, stooped and withered by four long years of war and the recent death of his son William. This solemnity is offset by moments of rascally humor, emphasized by his gentle, reedy voice and predilection for storytelling as a way to ease tensions among his staff.

FINAL RATING
actors like Jackie Earle Haley and Hal Holbrook, only a few of them stick around long enough to make an impression. The best supporting work in the movie comes from within Lincoln's family, especially Sally Field as the magnificently disturbed Mary Todd. Her scenes with Day-Lewis contain a grand melancholy that would require another movie to fully explain.
— Edited by Madison Schultz
"Lincoln" was clearly a labor of love for Spielberg, who spent 12 years researching the man and several more convincing the notoriously picky Day-Lewis to play him. The end result is a powerful post-election reminder that although our political system remains a source of frustration and cynicism, it still has the potential to be a lastling force for good, but only if we take responsibility for it. As Lincoln himself said, "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes the most of his brief screeetime as Robert, the oldest of Lincoln's children, who desperately wants to enlist with Ulysses S. Grant (Jared Harris) before the war ends, and young Gulliver McGrath's final scene as little Tad Lincoln will stay with you long after the lights come up. The scene in question takes place at a theater, but probably not the one you're thinking of. Here Spielberg reverts back to his roots, once again using a child's-eye view to describe the unimaginable.

The rock band Coldplay performs at the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami, Fla., in August 2005. Coldplay will release a live album, Nov. 19.

1. "LIVE 2012" BY COLDPLAY — RELEASE DATE: NOV. 19
The first live film and album combination from Coldplay in nine years, "Live 2012" was produced at several shows during the band's Mylo Xyloto"tour.Fans can expect vintage renditions of songs such as "Clocks" and "Fix You," along with a few unique live versions. Lead singer Chris Martin and his piano take center stage on a slowed-down "Yellow" as thousands of audience members provide a chilling chorus of background vocals.
2. "UNAPOLOGETIC" BY RIHANNA — RELEASE DATE: NOV. 19
Rihanna first made the Billboard Hot 100 in 2005 as a gimmick, pseudo-Caribbean singer with the single "Pon de Replay." She has since transformed into a pop music powerhouse, combining Beyoncé-level talent with tattooed-rebel appeal, and her seventh studio project "Unapologetic" promises to continue the trend. The album features production work from David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia, along with Rihanna's first collaboration with Eminem since 2010's "Love the Way You Lie."
3. "O.N.I.F.C." BY WIZ KHALIFA
— RELEASE DATE: DEC. 4
To say expectations are high for the upcoming sophomore album from Pittsburgh king Wiz Khalifa would be a gross understatement. Although 2011's "Rolling Papers" sold well, many critics and fans alike condemned the emcee's first studio recording as being too "pop" and too drastic a departure from his earlier, mixture-happy brand of hardcore rap. It should be interesting to see what direction he takes with "O.N.I.F.C.," as the only pre-released single, "Remember You," features Khalifa's classic, lazy-in-a-goody-way flow.
4. "¡TRÉ!" BY GREEN DAY — RELEASE DATE: DEC. 11
Green Day — now punk rock elder statesmen, having been together since 1987 — are coming out with "¡Tré!" which will be the final album in a 2012 trilogy that has also included "Uno!" and
"jDos!." If the first two albums in the series are any indication, "Tré!" will likely be a mixture of the distorted guitar punch that made the band famous and some more adventurous tunes. On "jDos!," for example, the tracks "Nightlife" and "Amy" are stripped-down and uncharacteristically playful Green song days.
5. "VIICIOUS LIES AND DANGEROUS RUMORS" BY BIG BOI — RELEASE DATE: DEC. 11
"Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors" will be the second album from OutKast rapper Big Boi following 2010's "Sir Lucius Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty." Big Boi was always known for complementing the eccentric André 3000 with his distinct Southern drawl and penchant for stuffing words together in rapid succession, but he has also become a respected solo artist in recent years. Several pre-released songs from "Vicious Lies" are available on SoundCloud. One in particular that stands out, "Mama Told Me," is a symphony of talk box effects and '80s drum samples.

The University Theatre Department will continue showing off its musical talent in its production of "Into the Woods."
"I thought it was excellent," said Audrey Shamet, a senior from Shawnee. "It was the first time I'd ever seen the show."
The show, written by Broadway veteran Stephen Sondheim, tells the story of a baker and his wife who are cursed to be childless. The pair must complete tasks involving fairy tale characters from stories such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood, who also have challenges to face throughout the story.
Jaclyn Nischbach, a freshman from Wildwood, Mo., as Little Red Riding Hood and Alexander Goering, a senior from Olathe as Jack (in the Beanstock) in Into the Woods.
"It's one of Sondheim's best scores," director John Stauinus said. "I also love fairy tales and think they're important to how we think as humans and about our own lives."
The show opened on Nov. 9 and was well-received by the audience.
"Being in shows is just part of my life," she said. "There was no real question of whether or not I was going to audition."
Madeline Cummings, a Benedictine College student from Shawnee, said the show was wonderful, and "the cast and the story were great."
Stanuinas said the decision to do the show was made around March.
"There were so many factors to consider — the actors, crew and the musicians from the School of Music," he said. "This is an important experience for all of them because they'll be doing this their whole careers."
Lawrence freshman Lily Lancaster, who portrays Snow White in the show, added her reasons for wanting to be in the production.
For some cast members, like Sofia Belhouari, a freshman from Overland Park who portrays
Cinderella in the show, being a part of the production also exposed her to other aspects of the theater business.
"It's opened my eyes so much to what's going on underneath everything," Belhouari said. "It's been great to be placed in a college environment and learning from everyone and allowing myself to apply some of the same stuff. It's also been a great opportunity to get my feet wet in a college environment."
Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Nov. 15-17 with a final matinee performance on Nov. 18, all in Murphy Hall's Crafton-Preyer Theatre.
"If people doubt whether to come, they should make the time to come," Belhouari said. "They'll walk out and have a sense of perspective on how to live and share your life with others."
Reserved seat tickets for "Into the Woods" are on sale in the KU ticket offices as well as online at kutheatre.com. Tickets are $20 for the public, $19 for senior citizens and KU faculty and staff, and $10 for all students. For more information, call University Theatre at 785-864-3982 and the Lied Center at 785-864-ARTS.

Senior sports management and communications double major Stanley Garlington from Shawnee shows off hot pink socks on campus. Garlingen's color choice is spot on with neon trends seen on Salvatore Ferragamo spring/ summer 2013 runways.

Junior philosophy major Benjamin Martin from Olathe channels his "New England professor and blue collared worker" look to display his love for the '50s era. Major fashion props to Martin for finishing his look with an appropriate style haircut as well.
Men perfect look of timeless style
CALLAN REILLY
creilly@kansan.com
Move over ladies, senior Stanley Garlington from Shawnee and junior Benjamin Martin from Olathe are stealing the fashion spotlight at the University. These perfectly styled students have given female Jayhawks a run for their money, Garlington and Martin had both caught my fashion eye on campus for quite a while, and it was about time I had gotten the inside scoop behind their impeccable taste.
Martin gets his fashion inspiration from the '50s, and I can't blame him. The decade's retro and uniform looks in dark blues and grays are forever classic. Even Martin's hair is inspired by this fashionably celebrated time.
"It's kind of a take on a '50s haircut but a little more modernized," Martin said. Modernizing a historic look is one of many great tactics to display your fashion knowledge. As for Martin's overall style, he leans toward mixing it up.
"I tend to go with New England professor mixed with blue-collared worker," Martin said. "Some days I put on a tweed jacket and tie and other days just a flannel shirt and dark jeans." A deep-thinking, well-dressed, historically appreciative college student? Professors and fashion enthusiasts are applauding everywhere.
Garlington gets his style inspiration
from a previous time period as well.
"I hate to say it, but I really love the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," Garlington said. "I really like what Carlton wears, and I like to put a lot of colors in my clothes."
Garlington further described his style as "urban prep," and he looks to Kanye West for fashion inspiration as well. The Shawnee senior also has good tips on how to pull off the bright colors that were ever-present in the '90s.
"Usually I try to off-balance it with khaki or something because you don't want to go with too many colors," Garlington said. "I started with the socks, and then worked from there."
Digging Garlingen's neon foot-wear? Try Rob Kardashian's new sock line, Arthur George, which is now available at Neiman Marcus stores.
Though these two fashionistas have varying styles, they're both working their own styles impressively. Men of Kansas, if you're experiencing closet trouble, take Garlington and Martin's leads and look to fashion history for current day-to-day wear. Getting inspiration from previous decades and applying a modernized spin will get you ahead of the fashion game and have you catching eyes campus-wide.

Tyler Habrock, Drew Richter, Patrick Carter and Nate Sydney participate in trivia night at 23rd St. Brewery weekly. The team hopes to advance in the competition and participte in finals in January.
student from Overland Park, there are many factors that make trivia nights appealing.
"There's good beer specials, you can watch the game, and multitask with the trivia," he said.
Although they've come close, they have yet to be completely successful. Habrock said they often "end up on the fringe of placing." He said sixth place is typical for them, which is what the team ended up with on Thursday.
"We just want to win," said Sydney, a fifth-year senior from Green Bay, Wis. "We haven't won yet. We've come really close."
Topics for trivia can cover a wide range, from politics to sports to pop culture, both present and past. Habrock and Sydney attribute their losing record to an age disadvantage.
"The most obscure question that I can remember was about a '70s soap opera," Habbrock said. "Needless to say we got that one wrong. All of the TV questions that deal with shows in the '70s we are sure to miss."
Competition between teams can be stiff at trivia nights, but for most it all in good fun. Recently, however, the level of competition has been a bit higher. The Brewery is part of the Heartland Trivia League, a group of restaurants and
"The hardest question topic is probably old television shows, because nobody in our group was around to watch them," Sydney said.
bars from around Kansas that team up for a winter trivia competition with $4,000 in cash and prizes at stake for the winners.
Quinton's Bar & Deli, Biggs BBQ, Dempsey's Burger Pub and Wayne & Larry's are among the League's Lawrence locations. Qualifying started Nov. 1 and ends Jan. 31. The top five teams from each location get to advance to the semifinal round.
Applebees's trivia night is also among the favorites in the Lawrence trivia scene. Ryan Dixon, the general manager of the Applebee's at 3900 W. Sixth St., started trivia nights in March and said he usually sees about 40 college students come to compete on a typical

"We were trying to build our late-night business and do something fun, something we could attract customers with," he said.
"It's a laid-back, good location with good drink specials and good food specials," Dixon said.
In addition to half-price appetizers and two-for-one happy hour specials, trivia night contenders have the chance to win up to $30 in Applebee's gift cards.

COMMENTARY Give seniors a send-off
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
KANSAS 68 SOUTHEAST MISSOURI 58
Edited by Ryan McCarthy
As I sat down to write a column on why the University student body should attend the Kansas football Senior Night game against Iowa State this Saturday, I had a considerably tough time coming up with a way to convince students that it is going to be worth it.
What kind of Jayhawk would I be if I don't support the Jayhawks who are struggling?
Saturday night is the prime time to spend all of your parents' hard-earned cash at the bars while also trying to pick up a member of whatever gender you totally dig.
When I was growing up, my grandfather, who played for Kansas, told me "once a Jayhawk, always a Jayhawk."
Obviously, some things haven't changed. The Jayhawks still don't have a quarterback who they can trust, but the team is making do with the talent it has.
So why would anyone waste their time at a football game?
I'm a senior, and this is my last opportunity to see the Jayhawks play a football game at home as a totally-careless-not-worried-about-the-future-OMG-do-I need-to-find-a-job-soon? student. I like to think of it as my Senior Night, too. I haven't had to deal with the struggles this team has dealt with, but I know the players would appreciate my support.
For the seniors who have just spent four years dealing with one of the darkest times in Kansas football history — that's why.
SEASON STARTS SOLID
But things are changing. Charlie Weis' first season doesn't look good at first look, but the truth is that this football team has made a lot of progress. Defensive coordinator Dave Campo inherited the worst defense in the country, and yet he has somehow found a way to make these Jayhawks somewhat competitive. And last week, running backs James Sims and Tony Pierson ran all over Texas Tech, one of the best defenses in the Big 12.
See you Saturday.
Saturday night is Senior Night for the Jayhawks, and the players who are being celebrated have endured one of the toughest, most bleak and most embarrassing stretches of power conference collegiate football in recent memory (affectionately known as the end of Mark Mangino's reign and The Turner Gill Era). Those unsung heroes who make up the senior class had to deal with two coaching changes, long seasons, and worst of all disrespect from the student body.
I get it, football games are long, and this team isn't very good. A lot of students are embarrassed by the performance of this football team for the past three seasons.
I'm just as guilty as most of the student body. I haven't sat through a full football game at Memorial Stadium since I was a freshman and the Jayhawks were undefeated and touting a top-25 ranking. But I'm changing that this weekend, and it's all because of Charlie Weis and the seniors who have worked their tails off.

Coach Bonnie Henrickson gives the team encouragement during the second half of the match against Southeast Missouri State Redhawks Wednesday night. Kansas defeated the Redhawks 68-58.
The Jayhawks manage to push past the Redhawks in the second game of the year
NATHAN FORDYCE

The No. 25 ranked Kansas Jayhawks got all they could handle from Southeast Missouri State last night inside Allen Fieldhouse.
The tandem of senior forwards Carolyn Davis and Tania Jackson fueled the lajahwaks to a 68-58 victory over the Redhawks. The two combined for 44 points with Davis having a game-high 27 points.
"Tania was the rock star tonight. She was good and good when we weren't. She's probably the reason we get out of here tonight alive," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said after the game.
Jackson's big energetic moment came when the game was tied at 44 with 13:03 left to play. Jackson hit back to back shots, grabs some rebounds and the Jayhawks didn't
have to look back.
"We needed some kind of energy. I wasn't looking to score, I was just trying to bring any type of emotions I could. So for Angel [Goodrich] to find me and for me to hit those open J's, really helped the energy level," Jackson said.
As for Davis' 27 points, 12-of-16 on the night, Henrickson said Davis "has to score in order for us to win." Davis was aware that Southeast Missouri State didn't have the size to contain her and used to that her advantage.
"I saw they had a lot of smaller players and I just felt it was time to dominate," Davis said.
Despite Davis having a productive night on offense, she said she was disappointed in her lack of defensive aggression as she only had two rebounds in her 21 minutes on the hardwood.
Between Davis and Jackson, senior guard Angel Goodrich and sophomore guard Natalie Knight picked up the rest of the scoring for the Jahwhaws.
Goodrich tallied 17 points with all her points coming in the first half. Knight added 10 points going 3-of-9 shooting.
Between those four players, they scored all but two of the Jayhawks' points going 25-of-51 from the field and 5-of-12 from the 3-point range. The rest of the Jayhawks' shots just 1-of-14, something that could be taken from players not knowing their role on the squad.
"I feel like everyone has the talents and opportunities to score but Bonnie always talks about that not everybody has to score. And if you're that go-to player to score, that's your role. If you're that go-to player to rebound, that's your role," Jackson
said. "She doesn't expect everyone to score, but she does expect everyone to play hard."
At one moment it looked like the tides had turned for the worse as the Redhawks started heating up from behind the arc. Sophomore guard Allyson Bradshaw led the furious charge from the outside as she went 5-of-5 from behind the arc for and a team-high 17 points.
"Little No. 11 wasn't suppose to be wide open. I knew she was going to have the night of her life," Henrickson said. "That kid came in here and had a big night. We didn't make it too hard on her that's for sure."
All but one of the Redhawks who saw minutes put points on the board, as they shot 37.5 percent and 53.3 percent from behind the arc.
Defensive intensity isn't where it should be and it was apparent by
looking at Bradshaw's shooting performance. Jackson said the lack of focus could be avoided if they would communicate better.
"It always reverts back to defense. It's going to take a while, it's only our second game. Communicating will help all of that. We have to fix that now in order to do it now and not in multiple games," Jackson said.
Although defensive problems still exist, getting out with a victory is something Knight is going to take from it.
"Struggled on the defensive end, struggled with the energy," Knight said. "But being able to grind it out and get the win is what really helped us tonight."

Hustle plays lead to another sweep
GEOFFREY CALVERT

One look at the stat sheet wouldn't do any justice to the Jayhawks' performance around the net Wednesday against Oklahoma.
Although Oklahoma outblocked Kansas 10-5, the Jayhawks' front line routinely got touches on the Sooners' attack, slowing the ball down by the time it reached Kansas' back row. Although touches are not an official stat, they proved just as important as blocking in the Jayhawks' 3-0 victory.
"Not only does it help to get a good touch, but it helps when they funnel the ball to our diggers," coach Ray Bechard said. "I thought we were organized with our front row. I thought when they did have a clean swing, at least we angled the ball to where our defense was set up."
Because Kansas' front line got its hands on so many Sooner attacks, the Jayhawks' back line had a much easier time making first contact and getting the ball in-system to junior setter Erin McNorton. She recorded 49 assists, and four Jayhawks benefited from her ball distribution by getting double-digit kills. In its five-set loss to Texas last Saturday, only two Jayhawks had double digit kills.

Conversely, because Kansas was running such a smooth offense, Oklahoma had trouble receiving the ball and getting into its system. The Sooners' two main setters combined for only 25 assists, because their attackers had a hard time getting powerful attacks cleanly past the lavhawks' block.
the ball, and a lot of the time I don't even know where it's going," junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc said. "Erin was sending me behind on the wides because they were having a hard time closing, and I was just working the seams"
Junior libero Brianne Riley led Kansas with 19 digs, and Kansas outdug Oklahoma 58-44. She said the front row made her job easier by slowing down the Sooners' attack, which in turn helped Kansas establish a balanced attack and convert opportunities for transition kills.
BRANDON SMITH/KANSAN
"Erin does a great job distributing
Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc attempts to hit the ball over the Oklahoma blockers on Wednesday. The Jayhawks won the match 3-0 to improve the overall record to 22-6.
"Obviously, when our block gets a touch and it's straight up in the air, to me it's a lot easier to dig." Riley said. "I always tell Jarmoc, 'You block, and I'll watch.' They did a pretty good job of that."
Although Kansas swept Oklahoma for the first time since 2005, Kansas had to win two extended sets to do so. The Sooners led 23-19 in the second set before Kansas roared back
with five straight points.
"You can't look at the big picture like, 'Oh my gosh, we're down four'." Jarmoc said. "You just go point-by-point, and then the momentum slowly comes back your way. It was just being really disciplined, because in volleyball it's a game of errors."
The teams traded points, with Kansas and Oklahoma each having two set points. On Kansas' third set point, sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers converted a kill, giving the lajayhawks a 29-27 set victory.
The two teams reversed roles in the third set, but Kansas emerged on top once again. After Oklahoma scored three straight points to tie the set at 19, Kansas responded with a 4-0 run and eventually had triple match point with a 24-21 lead.
But Oklahoma tied the set with two kills and a block. Just like the second set, Kansas closed the match by relying on its attackers to come through, and they did. A kill from Albers put Kansas on the brink of victory, and Jarmoc finished the match with her 16th kill. In keeping with the match's theme, Kansas won the set after its attackers slowed down Oklahoma attacks during long rallies late in the set by getting touches on the ball before it reached the Jayhawks' back line.
"Close games like this at this time of year, when you have success, I think it's a good sign," Bechard said. "There was some extended rallies that they fought hard and we fought hard. That's one of the signatures of their team is how hard they play and how they keep the ball off the floor."
overall and 10-4 in Big 12 play, with its next match Saturday at 1 p.m. against CUF in Fort Worth, Texas.

Last week KU fans saw what can happen when both James Sims and Tony Pierson are in the same backfield and are completely healthy — and suspension free. In case anyone missed it, they rushed for 329 yards and two touchdowns. Not a bad day of work. Any defense preparing for the Kansas passing game might be wasting its time.

Against Iowa State, Kansas will need to be dominant on third down. The Cyclones have converted only 38 percent of their third-down attempts. That's one status quo defensive coordinator Dave Campo would like to keep. If the Jayhawks can show more progress in limiting big plays and stay sound on third downs, it should be a good day for Kansas.

MOMENTUM
If it's possible to have any momentum after a crushing double-overtime loss, Kansas does. The production of the run game, the timely field goals and the big defensive stops didn't amount to a win, but the Jayhawks should have a boatload of confidence in their ability to execute.
84
AT A GLANCE
As Charlie Weis put it, this game is not about the University, the football program or the fans. This is about the seniors who have gone through three coaches, long losing streaks and too many blowouts, but they have taken it all in stride to become focal points for Weis' rebuilding plan. Saturday is about them and a chance to leave Kansas with one more fond memory.
Keeping the run effective week after week has become a crucial part of the Jayhawks offense. Kansas coach Charlie Weis said coming up with new schemes for his backs is one of his favorite things he does to prepare for an opponent. Fans have to wait and see if it works again.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Forget about one player; keep an eye on the entire offensive line this week. Those players have been underappreciated for the majority of the season, and yet their blocking is largely responsible for the Jayhawks' run dominance.

SPECIAL TEAMS
QUESTION MARKS
It's all about staying solid for Clint Bowen's unit. The Cyclones are averaging 18 yards per kickoff return, nothing daunting, but they still need to be respected. And now that Nick Prolago has hit a few field goals, he might be a more viable option than he was in the past.

Can Kansas keep up the run game?
Fans ask this question every week, because every week it seems more important. Pierson needs to perform at the level he did against Texas Tech for Sims to stay effective. Pierson can do this, but will he?

MOMENTUM
After Kansas won five straight meetings from 2005 to 2009, Iowa State has prevailed in the last two contests. But history isn't a big factor for the Cyclones as they've lost five of their last seven games.
IOWA STATE 19 IOWA STATE 26
AT A GLANCE
The Cyclones, despite only two wins in the conference, have not been blown out in any of their games this season. While they have lost a couple of one-sided games, they have not allowed more than 35 points this season and are third in the Big 12 in scoring defense. Offensively, Iowa State hasn't had much success and is in the bottom tier in scoring, passing, rushing and total offense. Rhoads hasn't had the best offensive output from his team this season.
COACHING
After working for Utah State and Ohio State as a graduate assistant, Paul Rhoads became a defensive backs coach at Pacific for three years. He went on to Iowa State to coach linebackers and defensive backs for five years. Afterwards, Rhoads became a defensive coordinator for Pittsburgh for eight years and for Auburn in 2008. That led to his first ever head coaching gig as he returned to Iowa State in 2009. Rhoads has coached the Cyclones to a 23-25 record since 2009.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Jeremy Reeves is only 5-foot-7, which is short for a cornerback. However, Reeves is tied for third in the conference in pass breakups and leads the team with 10. In the past, Reeves used his breakaway speed to gain a lot of yards after
pulling in an interception.

Reeves
He has yet to intercept a pass this year but hopes to change that on Saturday.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Football
Edwin Arceo, who handles kickoffs and field goals, has connected on only 7-of-11 field goals and 26-of-29 extra point attempts this season. Returners Jarvis West and Josh Lenz haven't found any success in the return game. Even though Kansas was lit up by Oklahoma with a kick return and punt return back for a touchdown, it hasn't allowed a big return since then.
QUESTION MARKS
Will Iowa State move the ball against Kansas?
Iowa State ranked last in the Big 12 in total offense and will face a Kansas team that hasn't defended the pass well. Quarterback Steele Jantz is coming off his four game where he's thrown more interceptions than touchdowns. The Cyclones have an opportunity to win, but it all depends on Jantz's performance.
?
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ...
Iowa State spoils the party on Senior Night and finds a win at Memorial Stadium. The Cyclones haven't played particularly well this year. With Saturday night being Senior Night for Kansas, the seniors would love to end their last home showing with a win.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I don't like it. I think it's tough on the players. We have quite a few players that sometimes don't get back on the practice field until Thursday. So I think this is a tough turnaround for a football team and for the players in general."
— Chan Gailey, Bills Coach, on playing on Thursday Night Football Buffalonews.com com
The first prime time Thanksgiving game on the NFL Network was played between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs on November 23, 2006.
ESPN.com
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Which team has the best winning percentage on Thursday Night games?
THE MORNING BREW
A: Indianapolis Colts. After last Thursday's game against Jacksonville, the Colts have a .900 winning percentage in these games.
Thursday night NFL games don't stack up against Monday night games
For the 2012 NFL Season, the league made the decision to expand its Thursday Night Football package to 13 games, with the games airing on the NFL Network. This was a bad move not only for NFL teams but also for the fans.
I understand that having Thursday Night games gives the consumer another night to watch the NFL, but this idea sounds better than it is. With these games airing on the NFL Network, most fans won't be able to watch the game without paying to subscribe to the network. This part of it makes sense for the NFL because its tactics and business savvy have made it the most successful and profitable professional sports league in North America. I don't doubt that the popularity of the NFL and the passion fans have for its respective teams will get people to purchase access to the NFL Network so they will never have to miss a game. There's only one problem with this formula: These Thursday Night football matchups have been dreadful.
Here are some examples of the boring matchups that Thursday Night Football has
By Chris Schaeder
cschaeder@kansan.com
provided us with: New York Giants (6-4) vs. Carolina Panthers (2-1), Arizona Cardinals (4-5) vs. St. Louis Rams (3-5-1), and coming to you tonight, a heavyweight matchup between the Miami Dolphins (4-5) and the Buffalo Bills (3-6). Like I mentioned earlier, I understand why the NFL is having these Thursday night games. The league wants to make money and please its loyal fans by giving them another day with an NFL game.
I also don't mean to insult these teams; many of them have won Super Bowls, which
is something I can't say for my Minnesota Vikings (who were beaten on Thursday Night Football by the Buccaneers three weeks ago). It's just that I want the customers who pay for the NFL Network to get the bang for their buck. If the NFL is going to make the fans pay more to watch these games, it should give them better matchups. These Thursday Night games are also unbeneficial to the NFL teams.
Player safety has been the biggest issue in the NFL during the last few years with reports of the trauma hits to the head can cause for NFL players. The league is changing its rules to try to prevent these hits and bring awareness to the safety issues, but why make players who are coming off a game on Sunday play another game with little rest?
I'm not saying a player playing a game on Thursday instead of Sunday increases his chances of getting injured, but it seems to be going against the NFL's views on players' safety. It remains to be seen whether the NFL will continue to have Thursday Night games for most of the season, but if I had to guess,
KU
the money that comes from the NFL Network will prove to be too much for the league to resist.

As a starting linebacker, sophomore Ben Heeney exceeded expectations and impressed his teammates and coaches this year. Heeney leads the Big 12 with 91 tackles this season.
At Hutchinson High School, Heeney served as a running back and safety. He worked hard offensively and rushed for over 2,000 yards his senior year. But he made his mark on the other side with 156 career tackles, four interceptions and 17 tackles for a loss in his three years as a safety on the varsity team.
The most important part about his success is that he's never played linebacker before.

"He's very tenacious on de-
"I've always been working hard and trying to play hard," Heeney said. "It's been an easy transition for me. I just need to get in my books and get the defense down."
Heeney is still going through the learning curve of playing linebacker in the Big 12. Even though he's still learning, he's managed to become one of the leaders for the Jayhawks defense.
Individually, Heeney's played well in his new position this year — or at least well enough to grab the attention of Kansas coach Charlie Weis. Weis liked what he
"You've seen him all year long playing like a wild man on every play," Weis said. "You would have seen it on special teams a year before, too, so you would've already seen him run down and make plays. Now we just put him in a

position on the defense to do the same thing, and he's gotten significantly better. He's significantly better now than what he was at the beginning of the year."
Heeney credits his success to linebackers coach DeMontie Cross. Heeney meets with Cross three times per week to receive advice and focus on what he needs to improve.
While trying to learn the position, he spent a lot of time with junior linebacker Huldon Tharp. Tharp and Heeney were roommates last year during road trips.
"He was still fresh at the position, so I tried to give him pointers because it's obviously different from playing safety," Tharp said. "He loves to hit, and he's got a lot of the intangibles that I think he needs."
After he contributed to special teams last year, Heeney is now a full-time starter as a sophomore. With the success he's having now, it builds the possibility of him being one of the better linebackers in the nation later in his college football career.
"He doesn't have everything yet because he's a young guy," defensive coordinator Dave Campo said. "He's got pretty good speed, and he's tough. There are some guys who are more talented athletically, but you can't buy the stuff he has inside."
Heeney hasn't focused on his individual success so much because he's been more concerned about the team's success. He didn't even know he led the Big 12 in tackles until a teammate informed him about it.
But with little flaws and lots of upside, Heeney is hopeful that the program will become successful, alongside his individual skills during his time here at Kansas.
As for the long-term future, his teammates won't be surprised if an NFL team drafts him after his time in Kansas is up.
"If he keeps going the way he is, he's got a chance to play on Sundays," Tharp said. "He's got plenty of effort, and that's a huge thing, especially at the linebacker position."

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Kansas (1-1) is facing a quick turnaround after its tough three-point loss to Michigan State in the Champions Classic on Tuesday night in Atlanta. The Jayhawks will be anxious to take the court in order to wash the bad taste out of their mouths.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Freshman forward Jamari Traylor
SIMON KINGMAN
Top Ten plays. With
Traylor showed how much of an athletic freak he is by having two of his plays from the Michigan State game make it on Sportscenter's
Kansas facing another smaller lineup, which center Jeff Withey has a history of struggling against, Traylor's energy and athleticism will be a big boost coming off the bench for Kansas.
Which Kansas shooting team will show up?
QUESTION MARK
In their season opener, the Jayhawks only made two 3-point shots all game despite getting many open looks on 21 attempts. They shot much better, four-of-nine, against Michigan State although they took less than half the amount of shots.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"Whenever you got the shot clock all the way down to 10, for them to score is kind of frustrating, so we need to work, definitely, on that."
—Jeff Withey on allowing Michigan State to score late in the shot clock.
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
Kansas' defense uses its length and athletic ability to force early turnovers, allowing them to run the court and cruise to an easy victory.
KANSAS 1-1, (0-O BIG 12) STARTERS
Withev
Jeff Withey, Senior Center
By his own admission, Withey doesn't like playing against smaller lineups such as the one he will face tonight in Chattanooga. Unfortunately for him, not every team he plays against will line up another seven-footer for him to go against, and he'll have to learn to get in better positions to defend smaller forwards.
★★★☆
Ellis
Perry Ellis, Freshman Forward
Ellis disappeared against Michigan State, partly because he couldn't hang with its physical style of play. The freshman should have an easier time using his finesse moves down low against Channaooga and get back to scoring in the double ooga.
★★★☆☆
RANDALL PETERSON
Releford
Travis Releford, Senior Guard
Teleford didn't crash the boards against Michigan State with the same enthusiasm he did in the Jayhawks' season opener. The hustleplayer still has yet to find his stroke from beyond the arc, missing all six of his attempts on the season, but he should have an easier going against a less-physical Chattanooga team.
★★★☆☆
McLemore
Ben McLemore,Freshman Guard
BASILLE DAYTON
McLemore still shows his youth at times, but he is always one of the most athletic players on the court. He should play a key role in the Jay-hawks' offense, as well as using his impressive jumping ability to grab rebounds on both ends of the floor.
Johnson
★★★☆☆
Johnson is still trying to find a happy medium between running the Jayhawks offense and taking control of the game when he needs to. At the start of the second half against Michigan State, Johnson looked like he was about to take control of the game before suddenly taking a more passive role in the offense.
★★★☆
Elijah Johnson, Senior Guard
CHATTANOOGA 1-0, (0-0 BIG 12) STARTERS
The Serbian native has made his presence felt in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Last season he averaged 10.2 points per game and led the Mocs with
Drazen Zlovaric, RS Senior forward
6. 4 rebounds and a field goal percentage of 54.9 percent per game. Zloviar played in all 32 games for the Mocs a season ago and was able to produce 19 double-digit scoring games, with a career high of 22 points against the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He's off to a similar start as he grabbed eight rebounds and put up 11 points in the Mocs' opening game victory against Tennessee Temple. Zloviar has shown a knack for playing strong against tough

Zlovario
opponents. When the Mocs squared off against Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Butter, Zlovic averaged 10.3 points and 8.3 rebounds in those games with his best game coming against Kentucky, where he put up 15 points and nine rebounds.
★★
Z. Mason, RS Junior Forward
CITY
Mason is a former tight end, the No. 2 ranked tight end coming out of high school in 2009, for Ole Miss before transferring to Chattanooga where he needs to become a good low presence. Last season, Mason averaged 5.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Despite suffering a knee injury that cost him seven games, Mason was still second on the team in rebounding. In the Mocs' opening game, Mason had a team-high 16 points on seven-of-12 shooting and also pulled down five rebounds. $ \triangle $ $ \triangle $ $ \triangle $

Mason
Ronrico White, sophomore guard
White is a combo guard who has the ability to play with or without the ball. Last season, White was a reserve player who played 13.8 minutes per game. In the limited minutes White played, he was trigger happy from behind the arc. He did lead the Mocs with a 40.4 percentage from behind the arc a season ago. In the Mocs' opening game, he couldn't get many shots to fall but was able to get to the free throw line, where he recorded seven of his nine points.
DONNIE BURKE

White
Gee McGhee, freshman guard
★☆☆☆
Coming out of high school in Baton Rouge, McGhee was the No. 3 ranked shooting guard according to Scout.com. While in high school, McGhee averaged 29.2 points per game as a senior. McGhee's scoring impact wasn't felt in the Mocs' opening victory, as he managed just six points on two-of-eight shooting and one-of-seven from three-point range.
HARVEY JOHNSON
Jones was McGhee's high school teammate in Baton Rouge but wasn't as highly regarded as his teammate. Jones averaged 18.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game as a senior. Like McGhee, Jones' impact in the Mocs' opening game was minimal as he posted four points on one-of-five shooting and fouled out of the game in the second half.

CHATT TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The Mocs are coming off a year when they posted a 11-21 record and going 5-13 in the Southern Conference. Head coach John Sulman is in his eighth year at Chattanooga, where he has compiled a 132-127 record with two NCAA tournament appearances. The Mocs return one lone starter from a season ago in Drazen Zlovaric, a senior from Serbia. The Mocs opened their season on Monday Nov. 12 against Tennessee Temple, who the Mocs defeated 88-53 with junior Z. Mason leading the way with 16 points. This will be the third meeting against the Jayhawks, with Kansas winning the two previous meetings.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Jared Bryant, sophomore forward
Despite only playing in 19 minutes in the Mocs' opening victory, Bryant went three-of-three from the field for eight points. He also added seven rebounds for the Mocs. Bryant is

part of a bench that is relied on heavily as the bench scored 42 of the 88 points.
QUESTION MARK
Will the Mocs be able to knock off a ranked opponent on the road?
The Mocs haven't had much success against ranked opponents in the past. They are just 3-47 against top 25 teams with their last victory coming in the 1997 NCAA tournament, when they defeated No. 19 Illinois 75-63 to advance to the Sweet 16. The Mocs are also 0-23 against top 25 teams on the road.
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
"Let's go out there and play our guts out, and go out and learn. Let's go out and play against one of the best teams in the country and get better. What an opportunity. Win or lose or whatever, let's get better."
Head coach John Shulman on gomocs.com
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF.
Prediction:
The Jayhawks commit careless turnovers on offense, allowing Chattanooga to keep the score low and keep the upset vibe alive into the second half.

Big 12 predictions for Week 12
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com
BAYLOR BEARS
BAYLOR BEARS
NO. 1 KANSAS STATE 10-0 (7-0) AT BAYLOR 4-5 (1-5)
Kansas State will visit a struggling Baylor team that has won only one game in the conference. Kansas State currently owns the No. 1 rank in the BCS and wants to hold on to that.
Kansas coach Bill Snyder won't do anything different offensively to prepare for this game. The Wildcats won't have any problems running the ball against a weak run defense.
Baylor knows it must bring its best effort against a good Kansas State team. In doing so, the Bears must have Nick Florence and Terrance Williams on the same page against the Wildcats' defense.
But Kansas State's rushing attack, provided by Collin Klein and John Hubert, will be too much for Baylor to handle.
Kansas State wins, 38-10
OU WV
NO. 12 OKLAHOMA 7-2 (5-1) AT WEST VIRGINIA 5-4 (2-4)
West Virginia's season hasn't gone its way this year. The Mountaineers have allowed 41 points per game, and that does not bode well for their matchup this week against the Sooners, who've scored 40 points per game.
Landry Jones has done a good job this season as he's distributed the ball well with receivers Justin Brown and Kenny Stills in particular. West Virginia's defense will have a hard time defending Brown and Stills and stopping the run against Damien Williams and Brennan Clay.
West Virginia's defense, led by quarterback Geno Smith, will be able to score against Oklahoma's defense coordinated by Mike Stoops. However, until its defense learns to prevent opponents from lighting up the scoreboard, its losing streak will continue.
Oklahoma wins, 56-35
T OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY TM
NO. 23 TEXAS TECH 7-3 (4-3) AT NO. 24 OKLAHOMA STATE 6-3 (4-2)
Saturday's matchup between Texas Tech and Oklahoma State features a battle between two similar Big 12 teams that are beside each other in the BCS rankings.
Oklahoma State has succeeded under different quarterbacks this season and remain one of the top-scoring teams in the nation. Texas Tech's offense has dominated in the passing game and rank first in the nation in total passing yards.
The winner of this game will be decided by which team has the better defense on Saturday. The bad news for Oklahoma State fans is the fact that the Cowboys haven't consistently defended well against the pass.
Seth Doege leads the Big 12 in touchdown passes and has some of the biggest end zone threats in college football today in Darrin Moore and Eric Ward.

Notre Dame still hoping for chance at national title
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH: BEND. Ind. — Coach Brian Kelly says he doesn't believe third-ranked Notre Dame's season will be lessened if the Fighting Irish finish the season undefeated and don't win a national championship.
"I would tell our players that everything that was within their control, they handled and that they're champions because of it. A pollster or computer rankings really can't diminish what you've accomplished," Kelly said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press. "I can tell you this, the ring will still be as big. Now, we may not have that crystal ball down there, but we'll have a lot of signage."
Kansas State (.9674) is in first in the BCS standings, followed by Oregon (.9497) and Notre Dame (.9396). If things remain that way through the end of the season, Kansas State and Oregon would play for the national championship and the Irish (10-0) would be left out.
Kelly said he believes Kansas State and Oregon are higher in the standings simply because they
started the season higher in the rankings and have stayed there.
He said the main reason the Wildcats are ahead of the Irish is because: "They got to Oklahoma before we did."
The Wildcats beat Oklahoma 24-19 on Sept. 22. The Irish beat the Sooners 30-13 on Oct. 27.
the regular-season 12-0 and finished third in the BCS standings. Kelly accepted the job at Notre Dame and the Bearcats, playing without Kelly, lost 51-24 to fifth-ranked Florida in the Sugar Bowl. Alabama won the national championship that season.
Kelly said just like that year, he's focused only on what he and the Irish can control. If the Irish finish the season unbeaten, it will be a special season, Kelly said.
"If you just pulled Kansas State out and looked at their schedule and who they beat and you pulled Notre Dame out and you looked at them, I think a reasonable person would say, 'I think I can see Notre Dame being ahead of Kansas State in this situation'"
"Undefeated seasons are magical" he said. "You don't need to be validated by polls. Because you have done everything you could have done."

Jayhawks look to rebound tonight
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Instead of having a week to brood over its three-point loss to Michigan State in the Champions Classic, the Kansas men's basketball team gets a chance to hop right back on the court tonight when it tips off against Chattanooga at 7 p.m.
"We can put this one behind
us, and we don't have to go a whole week thinking about this loss," senior guard Travis Releford said after the Champions Classic on Tuesday night. "We get into the gym tomorrow and get ready for the next game."
The Jayhawks had a five-point lead with less than five minutes remaining, but after a late surge by the Spartans, Kansas failed to respond.

The Jayhawks sputtered and could not answer each punch thrown by the Spartans.
"I don't want to take credit for what they did, but we also gave them extra possessions," Releford said. "When we had the lead, we were doing stuff out of character and just turned the ball over there at the end when we were up those few points."
"We didn't run offense down the stretch," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I thought we actually executed our offense better than we had all year long for about 30 minutes. I thought we had the ball where we wanted to get it. We missed a lot of bunnies, too."
With Chattanooga in town, Kansas is looking to put together its first complete game of the season, where the offense executes and doesn't fade when pressure sets in.
But mostly, the game offers the Jayhawks a chance to put the Champions Classic loss behind them.
signed his national letter of intent to play for the Kansas men's basketball team on Wednesday.
"I'm definitely ready to go out and get the bad taste out of my mouth," freshman forward Jamari Traylor said.
Conner Frankamp, a four-star guard according to rivals.com,
FRANKAMP SIGNS LETTER OF INTENT
Frankamp, a Wichita native gave Kansas an verbal commitment during his sophomore year of high school. The six-foot point guard led Wichita North to the 2012 state quarterfinals. Rivals ranks him as the 30th best player in the 2013 recruiting class.
"I think Conner is one of the best guards we have recruited since we've been here," Kansas coach Bill Self said in a press release. "He can score. He's sneaky athletic and can play the one and the two and will be a great combo guard in our system."
Frankamp currently sits 528 points behind current Kansas forward Perry Ellis as Wichita's alltime leading scorer. If he averages 28 points per game his senior season, FrankAMP could overtake Ellis' record of 2,231 points.
Additionally, the high school standout has extensive international experience. Last summer, Frankamp, with 14.1 points per game, was the leading scorer on the under-17 team that won the gold medal in the 2012 FIBA World Championships.
"Other players enjoy playing with him, and I absolutely love watching him play," Self said.
Florida's Murphy perfect from field against Wisconsin
NCAA
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Erik Murphy tied a career-high with 24 points just days after dealing with an illness, and No. 10 Florida beat 22nd-ranked Wisconsin 74-56 on Wednesday night.
- Edited by Laken Rapier
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Murphy made all 10 of his shots, including two from 3-point range, as the short-handed Gators enjoyed a double-digit lead most of the night. He also had seven rebounds.
The Gators, playing without point guard Scottie Wilbekin (suspension) and forward Casey Prather (concussion), essentially won the game with fast starts in both halves. Florida scored the first nine points of the game and the first seven after intermission.
Sam Dekker and Jared Berggren had 11 points apiece for Wisconsin (1-1).
Mike Rosario added 15 points, four rebounds and four assists for Florida (2-0), and Kenny Boynton chipped in 10.
The Badgers (1-1),meanwhile, came out flat, missing their first six shots — including five from behind the arc.
Murphy was involved in both runs. He made a baseline hook that seemed to get him started early. He added a jumper, a putback and a 3-pointer that pushed the lead to 16-6.
That hole proved too big to overcome against the hot-shooting Gators.
Florida hit 18 of 24 shots (75 percent) in the first 20 minutes and extended the lead to 19 (50-31) early in the second half. Boynton converted the 13th four-point play of his career to open the second
half. Murphy followed with a post basket, and then Boyton added a driving lapup.
The Badgers never cut the lead below 12 the rest of the way.
Murphy had been questionable to play. He missed practice earlier this week with an illness that caused bad headaches, nausea and vomiting. Not only did he play, he also started.
The only negative for Florida was 20 turnovers. Playing without Wilbekin, Rosario and Boynton shared ball-handling duties, and the Gators turned it over 12 times in before the break.
The Gators probably needed his effort after coach Billy Donovan was forced to practice with four upperclassmen and four freshmen earlier in the week. It's unknown when Wilbekin will be reinstated, and Prather could miss at least another week after sustaining two concussions in practice during a nine-day span.
But they had enough offense to make the turnovers negligible.
Freshman Michael Frazier II had eight points and five rebounds for Florida. Fellow forward Will Yeguete finished with nine points and eight boards.
And didn't miss!
It was the first of several challenges before SEC play. The Gators also play UCF, Marquette, Florida State, Arizona and Kansas State before league play—the toughest non-conference slate in Donovan's 17 seasons in Gainesville.
He became the fourth player in school history and 18th in Southeastern Conference history to take at least 10 shots in a game and make them all.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Greg Monroe had 19 points, 18 rebounds and six assists to help the Detroit Pistons beat the Philadelphia 76ers 94-76 on Wednesday night for their first win of the season.
Kyle Singler scored 16 points, and Tayshaun Prince and Brandon Knight each scored 15 points for a Detroit (1-8) team off to its worst start in franchise history. Playing their seventh road game out of nine games this season, the Pistons controlled the lethargic Sixers from the opening tip.
The Sixers easily played their worst game of the season, making only 25 of 84 shots, for 30 percent. Lavoy Allen led them with 14 points.
Without injured center Andrew Bynum, the Sixers continued to get dominated inside. They were outrebounded by 17 in Monday's loss to Milwaukee and got crushed on the boards 33-15 by halftime in this one. Monroe had nine at the break — or as many as the Sixers' starting lineup combined.
Philadelphia missed 30 of 43 shots in the first half and made only five of 10 free throws.
The Pistons had plenty of room to maneuver in the paint — Singler scored 13, Prince had 12 and Monroe 11 points in the first half.
Detroit had most of its fun in the second quarter, stretching a twopoint lead into 52-34 at the break. They made only three 3-pointers all game, scoring the bulk of their points on mid-range jumpers and easy buckets around the basket.
The Sixers again struggled with their halfcourt offense, showing little ball movement and firing up long jumpers as the shot clock ticked down. Bynum hasn't played all season because of a bone bruise and isn't expected back until at least early January. It's clear they need help in the middle because the Brown-Spencer Hawes-Thaddeus Young combination has been a bust.
The Pistons played so well they didn't even need both eyes on the ball from the free-throw line. Monroe was fouled on a drive down the line and appeared to lose a contact in the process. He touched his right eye, squinted, and buried the first one. His contact recovered and in place, he clanked the second attempt. The moment was good for a chuckle in a game that turned into a laugher.

Harden leads Rockets win, scores 30 against Hornets
Greivis Vasquez scored a career-high 24 for the Hornets, despite hurting his left ankle in the third quarter and briefly leaving the game. Anthony Davis had only eight points on 2-for-7 shooting.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Rockets built a 21-point lead in the first half, but the Hornets played better defense in the second to close the gap.
After a slow start, the Rockets hardly seemed distracted.
Reserves Marcus Morris and Toney Douglas both hit a pair of 3s early in the second quarter as the Rockets surged to a 47-38 lead. Houston started 7 for 10 from the field overall in the quarter. Morris stayed on the floor
The Rockets took the floor while first-round draft pick Royce White remained absent from the team. The 6-foot-8 White called the team "inconsistent" in its efforts to help him cope with his anxiety disorder and fear of flying, and he sent out a series of often critical tweets throughout the day.
HOUSTON — James Harden scored 30 points, Omer Asik added 15 and 12 rebounds, and the Houston Rockets held off the New Orleans Hornets 100-96 on Wednesday night.
when the starters returned, and scored on consecutive drives to stretch the lead to 52-40.
Harden went 10 for 20 from the field but only 1 of 7 from 3-point range. He reached 30 points for the third time in seven games with the Rockets.
Morris just beat the halftime buzzer with another 3 to put the Rockets up 64-45. After hitting his first four shots, Vasquez didn't take a shot in the second quarter. Davis, coming off a 23-point, 11-rebound effort against Charlotte, had only one field goal and four points in the first half.
New Orleans defended the perimeter better in the third quarter and trimmed the deficit to six. Houston led 85-76 after three quarters, despite going 7 for 18 from the field and hitting only two 3s in the third.
Chandler Parsons sank a pivotal 3-pointer and fadeaway jumper late to help Houston win for the second time in five home games.
Vasquez missed a corner 3 at the buzzer, his only miss in four attempts from long range.

spread through The Collegian,
Kansas State's student newspaper.
Growing up in Manhattan, Reid Buchanan, who is now a sophomore at the University where he is majoring in electrical engineering, saw this scene every year. It was even more powerful because both of his parents received degrees from K-State, and his father works for the K-State football and basketball teams.
Mike said it's weird that his son decided to go to the University and that he still cringes when he has to put on a crimson and blue shirt.
"We're getting used to that Jayhawk being on the front instead of the power cat," Mike said. "I never thought I would've approved of it."
As Buchanan was looking at schools that allowed him to continue to run both cross country and track and field, he decided to make the visit 84 miles east to visit Lawrence.
"Before I took a visit to KU, it was very much anti-KU." Buchanan said. "I said I'd never go here. But after I took a visit, it kind of opened my eyes."
Buchanan's father, Mike, said it was a matter of courtesy that they took the visit to the University.

him some odd looks for having to wear the "enemy" colors.
Switching from purple to crimson and blue isn't a common thing, especially when it comes to
cross country.
In the five years that assistant cross country coach Michael Whittlesey has been at the University, Buchanan is the first to come to the University from Manhattan.
"The hardest thing is getting Manhattan kids to come out, but once they do it's not hard to sell the program because you can show them what the program can give them." Whittlesey said.
Shelley, Buchanan's mother, graduated from K-State with two degrees. Though she's happy with Buchanan's choice because that's a motherly thing to do, she said, she still can't believe her son decided to come to the University.
Buchanan said if it were not for his athletic career, his feelings would've stayed the same.
"We were really shocked that Reid decided on KU because he was just as anti-KU as us," Shelley said.
"If it wasn't for running, I wouldn't care about KU, and I can honestly say that," Buchanan said.

Thunder fall as Grizzlies keep streak alive
NBA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY — Rudy Gay scored a season-high 28 points. Zach Randolph added 20 points and 11 rebounds before getting ejected along with Oklahoma City's Kendrick Perkins during a late-game alteration and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Thunder 107-97 on Wednesday night.
Marc Gasol chipped in 14 points as the Grizzlies continued the best start in franchise history by winning their sixth straight game. They took control by outscoring Oklahoma City by 21 in the second quarter, and never gave it up.
Kevin Durant scored a season-high 34 points and Russell Westbrook had 17 points and 13 assists as both Oklahoma City All-Stars logged more than 42 minutes for the second straight game while trying to lead a fourth-quarter comeback.
This time it fell short as the Thunder had their five-game winning streak snapped.
The Grizzlies went to their twin towers inside with Oklahoma City threatening to come back from a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter for the second straight game. Coach Lionel Hollins called for a timeout after Perkins' two-handed slam got the Thunder within 97-89 with 4:18 to play.
He sent his team back out with Gasol isolated against Perkins, and Gasol twisted his way in for a layup. After a missed jumper by Serge Ibaka at the other end, Gasol set up Randolph for a layup off a designed play.
After a pair of empty trips by both teams, referee Ken Mauer tossed both Perkins and Randolph after the two confronted each other between a pair of free throws by Westbrook. After the ejections, Randolph and Perkins tried to approach each other while being restrained by teammates before finally heading out tunnels at opposite ends of Chesapeake Energy Arena.
By then, Memphis had all but
NBA
locked up the latest in a series of testy games between the two young Western Conference playoff contenders who got to know each other all too well during a seven-game series in the playoffs two seasons ago.
Ibaka finished with 17 points, eight rebounds and four blocks for the Thunder.
Quincy Pondexter contributed 13 points and Jerryd Bayless scored 12 as Memphis' bench outperformed the Thunder reserves. Both teams retooled their reserves during the offseason, with the Grizzlies letting O.J. Mayo leave in free agency and the Thunder trading Sixth Man of the Year James Harden to Houston.
Strong guard play propels Bucks to victory
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Beno Udhrid had nine points, 10 assists and six rebounds for the Bucks, who shot 42 percent from the field and improved to 2-2 at home.
MILWAUKEE — Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis scored 16 points each to help the Milwaukee Bucks cruise to a 99-85 victory over the struggling Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night.
Tyler Hansbrough scored 17 points for the Pacers, while Gerald Green and Paul George added 12 points apiece. Indiana, which shot 38 percent, lost its fifth straight on the road after a season-opening win at Toronto.
The Bucks scored the first seven points of the game and led throughout. Their lead was as high as 27 in the second quarter and 32 early in the third before they played their reserves throughout the fourth.
The Pacers' offense has struggled so far this season as the team adjusts to playing without Danny Granger, its leading scorer of the past five seasons. Granger is out
for about three months with a patella problem in his left knee.
Tobias Harris scored the first five points in the Bucks' opening spurt. Milwaukee, which lost all three games to Indiana last season, also had a 10-0 run midway through the quarter and held a 33-17 advantage at the end of the period.
The Bucks led 60-34 lead at halftime on 48 percent shooting. Indiana, meanwhile, shot just 32 percent in the first half. Milwaukee's lead was 82-53 heading into the fourth.
The bad blood between the Bucks and Pacers, who were involved in a couple of ugly oncourt alterations last season, continued Wednesday night when Larry Sanders was called for a flagrant foul on Hansbrough in the third quarter. The foul initially left Hansbrough sprawled on the court but he quickly jumped to his feet and ran toward the Buck's forward. The two were quickly separated and Hansbrough hit one of two technical free throws.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
EDITOR'S NOTE
Remembering a century of news
By Victoria Pitcher
vpitcher@kansan.com
This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the University Daily Kansan being a daily newspaper. The first issue appeared in 1912, becoming the first college
daily.paper in Kansas according to kuhistory.com.
We now present the Retro Section, a first-time and one-time-only section. With a little bit of old and new stories, I think you guys will find this as entertaining as I found putting this issue together to be. It was fun to see how the Kansan covered local and national issues over the years, even after my several trips to Spencer Research Library to retrieve the old issues.
For the first time ever, the Kansan is giving recognition to
John McLendon, a University alumnus who coached a top-secret basketball game in the 1940s. With the mentoring of Naismith, McLendon changed the game and racial segregation at the University. You can't miss reading this story on page six.
You will also find old stories that were published in the Kansan from different decades. And let me tell you, as I retyped these stories word for word, I felt like I was there. They were long and detailed; people must have had longer attention spans back
then. But have no fear, these articles were far from boring. I felt the excitement as I transcribed the stories of Manning making both his free throw shots to win the national championship basketball game in 1988 and the anxiousness when Elmo Hardy, an associate professor at the University, was the first number drawn in the military draft of 1940.
Here's to 100 more years of The Kansan.

Basketball is a successful tradition
BRET IVY bivy@kansan.com
Basketball runs through the veins of KU. It's part of the KU tradition that brings together students, past and present, to share in the experience that is Kansas basketball. Despite changes, there has always been one constant at KU that holds many generations of its alumni together: Basketball.
The sport has been here nearly as long as the University.
“KU basketball has a huge impact on the school,” Cole Klostermann, a freshman from Dubuque, Iowa, said. “It brings people on campus together. There’s a connectedness that everyone feels on campus because of basketball, because of the history and tradition; it's a really great thing to be a part of”
In 1998, James Naismith, the father of basketball, came to the University, bringing basketball along with him. In the early form of basketball, the game was very different from what it is today.
The game was simple consisting of only 13 rules. In 2010, alumnus David Booth bought these rules for the University for $4.3 million, demonstrating how much basketball meant to him and to the University. The original rules are planned to be on display in 2014 as a part of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics.
It was under these original rules that the tradition of KU basketball began.
Naismith coached the inaugural season in 1898 until 1907, when he stepped down to become athletic director. It was
then that the University decided to hire Forrest Phog Allen, one of Naismith's former players, as coach.
Allen's time as head coach is one of the central reasons the basketball tradition is as strong as it is today. He coached the Jayhawks for 39 years, leading the team to 24 conference championships, three Final Four appearances and three national championships.
After his success as a coach, Allen became known as the "Father of Basketball Coaching." His program produced basketball coaching legends such as Adolph Rupp and Dean Smith, who continued to spread basketball across the nation. However, none of this may have happened if it wasn't for the basketball tradition at the University.
Allen retired in 1956, one year after Allen Fieldhouse was built in his name. However, the Jayhawks have continued to flourish.
As the sport of basketball evolves, with numerous rule changes and star athletes are produced, one name is still synonymous with the sport: the University of Kansas. It's a name that's looking to continue this tradition even longer.
KU has won 55 regular confer-ence championships, including' eight consecutive championships under coach Bill Self. Kansas has made 14 Final Four appearances and won five national championships.

Union severely damaged by fire
KANSAN STAFF
editor@kansan.com
The Kansas, Union was ravaged Monday night by a fire that caused extensive damage to 40,000 square feet in the south half of the building.
Bill Rowlands, information counter manager and night manager of the Union, discovered the Union fire.
The fire, confined to the upper half of the building, apparently started near the Pine Room and spread immediately to the roof, which was completely destroyed in the older section of the building.
1 Fire trucks arrived 15 minutes after the fire was reported. Frank Burge, Union director, told firemen when they arrived the fire was confirmed at the center and western sections of the roof at that time.
"I heard something pop," he said. "It sounded like a light bulb exploding and I ran upstairs. I think that everyone in the building noticed the smoke about the same time and evacuated the building"
After an hour and a half of fighting the fire, flames of 20 to 30 feet shot off the roof and scorched the center tower of the Union.
The fire was finally brought under control around 2 a.m. today after flames had gutted the top two floors of the Union's main section.
The intensity of the flames caved in the roof and leaped to the south addition of the building, caving in that section.
Lawrence Fire Chief Fred Sanders said the fire started near an elevator on the third floor near the Pine Room.
"The man in the Union said there was a definite explosion," Sanders said. "It blew plaster off the ceiling and tore off the elevator door."
Later this morning Sanders said it could possibly be three days before the official cause of the fire was known, but added, "In my opinion, it was set."

Chalmers said he was first informed of the fire in the Kansas Union at his hotel in Washington. He said University Executive Secretary Ray Nichols called him about 1 a.m. (EST) and at that time little information was available concerning the fire.

"It certainly seems," Chalmers said, "that the three attempts at arson on the KU campus on April 8 and the three actual fires in the community the last three weeks seems to suggest that it is a pyromaniac at work. I do not think, however, that it is the work of one person or perhaps
Sanders said he reached his conclusion after talking to firemen and policemen at the scene. University of Kansas Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers, who is in Washington D.C. attending a conference of University presidents and administrators, said in a telephone statement early this morning, it now may become obvious necessity to appeal to strengthen campus security to prevent further incidents from occurring at KU.
An estimated 2,000 people viewed the blazing building while several more aided firemen in any way they could. Many attempted to clear the building of furniture, help balance fire hoses, and provide coffee and doughnuts to the fire fighters.

Chalmers said he does not plan to return to Lawrence any earlier than scheduled unless he gets a report that there is something he can do.
two or three people."
"The fire could have been a lot worse without student help," said Fire Chief Sanders.
Director Burge said the building was adequately insured, but for all practical purposes the entire south half of the building is a total loss.
The Union, Burge said, will definitely be closed until further notification from him.

There was a time in KU's history when students had more to worry about than how to avoid different organizations vying for their attention outside of Wescoe Hall.
In the early '70s, students ventured onto a racially and politically charged campus every day. They packed up their backpacks and their courage as racial and political protests became a common occurrence.
Mike Reid, the director of KU History, said a protest on May 9, 1969, against the Vietnam War interrupted a review of the ROTC. Protesters broke down
This was just one of many incidents that progressed in violence as the year wore on. By 1970, violent protests were at an all-time high.
the gate to the field and shouted "Hell no, we won't go" and held signs that read "ROTC off campus!"
"In the time between 1965 and 1971, there were more protests than any other time in our history," Reid said. "There not only was the ROTC protest, but a protest in the streets where a couple of people died."
According to kuhistory.com, five days of violence broke out on July 16, 1970, after a 19-year-old black male was shot as he fled from local police. This ongoing
confrontation of student antiwar activists and civil rights advocates against Lawrence law enforcement was also the cause of the death of freshman Henry Rice.
Not only were there protests, but also fires because of bombs on campus.
"There was a firebomb set off in the Union that did over $1 million of damage to the ballroom," Reid said. "It was noticed by a couple of campus policemen, and students and firefighters worked to put the fire out and evacuate the building of important objects."
No specific group was ever tied to the fire at the Union on April 20, 1970, though it is
believed to be related to the tensions among student groups on campus, Reid said.
But this wasn't the only bomb set off on campus that year. On Dec. 11, a second bomb destroyed part of Summerfield Hall, injuring three students. No group took responsibility for the incident. No one was ever charged for either bombing, Reid said.
In effort to prevent more violence on campus during the spring semester of 1970, Chancellor Laurence Chalmers ended classes early and cancelled finals.

KU assistant instructor among first selected for WWII draft
KANSAN STAFF editor@kansan.com
At noon today in the nation's capital, Henry L. Stimson secretary of war, drew the first draft registration number from a historic gold-fish bowl and it was 158.
Listening to a radio in a laboratory in Snow Hall was Elmo D. Hardy, assistant instructor in entomology, who is teaching part time at the University while working on his Ph. D. degree. In his pocket was registration card No. 158. Thus Hardy became the first man eligible to be called from Douglas County for the first peacetime conscription in the history of the country.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hardy, who live at 1323 Kentucky, were interviewed on WREN at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Both said they could "hardly believe" their senses when they heard the announcement of "158". Hardy offered the opinions that the selective service act was a good thing for the country in general, that he was ready to go if necessary, and that he was doubtful of his chances of exemption.
The Hardys have no children and came here this year from Utah. Mr. Hardy is 26 years old.
Mrs. Hardy, while surprised that the first number drawn would be the one held by her husband, said that she had no urge to cry out like Mrs. Harry S. Bell, who was in the Interdepartmental auditorium in Washington D.C. when No. 158, the number held by her only son, Harry Robert Bell, was called out. Mrs. Hardy was listening to a radio report of the drawing the same time as her husband, so they received the news simultaneously.
The bowl from which 156 numbers were called this morning contained 8,500 blue capsules, each containing a serial. The second capsule was drawn by Frank Knox, secretary of the navy. The capsules then were turned over to the expert handling crews, and they in turn made a master list of the withdrawn numbers. When this list is complete and the drawing is over, the machinery can start. An eight-page questionnaire will be sent to each draweue. He will fill this out and return it within five days. From
this, it will be determined who is available for the service and who is not. After this questionnaire is filled out, the conscientious objectors may state their claims.
After the clerical work is finished, the local board will receive its first call for men. The quota of men from each locality is determined by the percentage of available men in the state and percentage of the available men in the entire country, which is about 1,000,000.
With this addition to the Army, it is estimated that the manpower of the nation will be about 1,900,000 men, including Army, Navy, and trainees.
When the draffee is selected for duty, he must arrange his business and report to the local draft board in five days. He then will be transported to an induction station, where he must answer more questions and pass another physical examination. If he is rejected, he is given free transportation home, but if not, he is in the Army.

In the world of college sports, there are several historic rivalries that go back several decades. However, no rivalry quite compares to the one between the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri.
This historic rivalry, which began in 1891, came to an end after the 2011-2012 sports season when the University of Missouri left the Big 12 Conference for the Southeastern Conference (SEC). According to Mike Reid, director of public affairs for the KU Memorial Unions, it was the second-oldest rivalry in football.
"This rivalry was different from other rivalries because of feelings going back to the Civil War," Reid said.
Indeed, the overall rivalry between the states began before Kansas became a state and the University was ever built. Reid said that Missourians would cross over the state border to vote in Kansas territories, upsetting Kansans.
In the sports world, the rivalry was especially prevalent between the football teams. Becky Schulte, a University Archivist, said the Kansas-Missouri football game was a major event for the University, particularly since the Missouri game usually fell on Homecoming.
"There were several activities that the students did, especially the big bonfire the night before the game," Schulte said.
As to be expected, however, there were high tensions between the two teams. One particular controversy stemmed from a football game in 1960 and is highlighted in the book "Border War Football: 1891-2009" by Shawn Buchanan Greene. The controversy centered on the illegal recruiting of star halfback Bert Coan, which caused the jayhawks to be excluded from postseason games.
In fact, tensions escalated to the point that the University student body President Max Eberhart and
Missouri Students' Association President Roger Bridges wrote out and signed a peace pact, the text laid out measures to prevent further escalation and was issued in November 1961 editions of the University Daily Kansan, the Topeka Daily Capital, the Lawrence Journal-World and the Kansas City Times.
The rivalry continued in this fashion for the next several decades. Around 2002, the game series between the two schools was finally coined as the "Border War" by University officials and commercial sponsors for the game.
Jim Marchiony, the associate athletics director, talked about some other particularly memorable events throughout the rivalry, including last season's match-ups in mens basketball, the 2008 football snowed-up upon match-up.
This rivalry will remain in the hearts of the Jayhawk loyal, even with no more regular-season match-ups to look forward to.

Alum breaks barriers in sports
KAYLA SOPER
ksoper@kansan.com
Seventy years ago, it would have been impossible for both Jeff Withey and Elijah Johnson to start on the same team.
We take it for granted now, because basketball and America have come a long way. But many don't know that James Naismith and KU alumnus John McClendon helped begin breaking barriers of prejudice and institutionalized segregation.
One of the most monumental moments in basketball history was kept a secret for over 50 years, a secret game coached by McClendon, a student of Naismith.
In 1944 white and black basketball players played against each other for the first time in small gymnasium in North Carolina. McClendon, who attended the University in the 1930s, coached a team from the all-black North Carolina Central University, then known as the North Carolina College for Negroes, against an
all-white Duke intramural team.
McClendon, who died in 1999,
changed the pace of the game — a game he learned from James Naismith, its inventor.
Naismith was McClendon's
mentor while he went to KU, and helped him along his battles with segregation. Mike Reid, a historian at the University, said Naismith helped McClendon get his physical education degree.
dents could use it again.
"Naismith took
Naismith convinced KU to get rid of rules like that, Reid said.
McClendon under his wing," Reid said. McClendon, a Hiawatha native, was urged to go to the University by his father, who wanted his son to work with Naismith. When McClendon attended the University he had a tough time working around the rules of segregation.
BENZALDEAN
Naismith also helped get McClendon a student teaching job, which was extremely rare
McClendon
In those days, black students were not allowed to do things like swim in the pool on campus, and if a group of them did, the pool would have to be emptied out and re-filled before white stu-
for an African American student back then.
Att the time of the secret game it was unheard-of to have teams of different races play either with or against each other in any sporting event. While Naismith was athletic director The University of
Kansas was still segregated, with an all-white basketball team.
The 1944 game had to be kept a secret because it was a violation of North Carolina's segregation laws. Even some of the players on the teams didn't know what was happening until the day of the game. However, no one found out about the game. The only people present were the players, coaches and one referee. One reporter is said to have known about the game going on, but kept quiet for the sake of McClendon's career.
The teams met in a YMCA gymnasium in Durham, N.C., on a Sunday afternoon while most people were still in church. The NCCU Eagles won 88-44. Even after the loss, the teams integrated for a scrimmage, shirts and skins.
Erica Dixon, the director of campus recreation at NCCU, said no one found out about the game until much later.
JOHN W. HARRIS
PHOTO COURTESEY OF JOANNA MCCLENDON
"It wasn't until the early 90s when people found out about what really happened." Dixon said. "A Duke student happened to be sitting next to McClendon on a plane, and McClendon just told him everything."
According Mitlon Katz's book "Breaking Through", despite the segregation laws, members of the Duke and NCCU Y.M.C.A. chapters had begun meeting to discuss racial issues. At one meeting, George Parks, an Eagles' player, overheard a boast that the Duke Medical School intramural basketball team was the best in the state. Parks challenged the Duke student to prove who had the best
team in town. To everyone but McClendon, this idea was absurd. The 28-year-old McClendon had only lost one game all season but was denied a postseason championship game because the NIT and NCAA tournaments did not allow African Americans to participate.
Since the game, both NCCU and Duke have had events to remember that day. In 2010 NCCU hosted the first Bull City Showdown, which was like a reenactment of the secret game. In the day-long tournament, men's and women's teams from Duke and NCCU played against each other. At the end of the event, they featured an All-Star game, which integrated everyone, exactly like the scrimmage that followed the original secret game.

Allen Fieldhouse used as concert venue, movie set in past
THE ATHLETIC CENTER

Cots, makeshift stretchers and bodies cover the floor of Allen Fieldhouse. Only the occasional cough or moan interrupts the eerie silence of the building. The people are wrapped in bandages, but the fabric can't hide the burns, blood and missing clumps of hair — evidence of a nuclear fallout.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
This scene from the Cold War era movie "The Day After," was shot in Allen Fieldhouse and illustrated the effects of a nuclear fallout in the city of Lawrence. The movie aired nationally on ABC in 1983, and the victims were actually University students acting as extras for the movie.
Freshman Nick Shaheed from Lawrence, Kansas, watched the film in eighth grade. "My history teacher showed it to us because we were learning about the cold war era," he said. "I personally think it was the best made for T.V. movie ever. So it was kind of cool that it was here at KU."
And basketball wasn't the only
sport played in Allen Fieldhouse.
While Allen Fieldhouse is best known for its basketball, the venue used to be a multipurpose facility, featuring musicians, comedians and politicians like Bill Clinton, Robert F. Kennedy, Bill Cosby, Cher, The Beach Boys and Leon Russell.
The floor used to used to be removable, allowing for indoor track meets. In "The Day After,"
the floor of Allen Fieldhouse isn't actually wood. It was the surface used for track running.
Associate professor at Mississippi State University and former interim project director of khistory.com Mark Hersey said one of the most significant events
held in Allen Fieldhouse, besides basketball, could be track meets.
"You could point, athletically, to things like Jim Ryun's record runs in indoor track there," he said.
Hersey was a child of the 80s, and he watched "The Day After"
when he was a child. He said the film tied KU into the culture of the cold war.
"It also drew a great deal of attention to the heartland, Lawrence particularly," he said. "History is local. Everything takes place in a particular place in a particular point of time. Which is actually what gives a venue like Allen Fieldhouse its power. Wilt [Chamblelain] played here. These people were here."
Though, Allen Fieldhouse used to host a variety of entertainment events and indoor track meets, the venue now is almost exclusively used for basketball.
Director of Public Affairs of KU Memorial Unions Mike Reid said this is because the character of Allen Fieldhouse has changed.
"It used to be more or less a multi-purpose facility," he said. "Now it hosts a large museum in the front of it. It cut down some of the things you can do in there. And also, we did have indoor track meets and things like that because the floor was removable in the past, but that's been changed."
Hersey said another reason for this change is because of the revenue basketball brings.
"There are a lot of expectations," he said. "It is big business. Why risk damage? It plays a big role in getting donations for the University."

Jayhawks win championship
ELAINE SUNG
editor@kansan.com
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In 1980, when the U.S. hockey team defeated the Soviets at Lake Pacid, N.Y., in the Winter Olympics, sports commentator Al Michaels uttered his now-famous question, "Do you believe in miracles?"
The layhawks did. They defied all logic, beat the odds and conquered the previously unstoppable Okalahoma Sooners last night 83-79 in Kempa Arena and took the 1988 NCAA national championship, the first national title for Kansas and the Big Eight Conference since 1952.
But the situation did not look good for the Jayhawks when they fell behind five points with more than 13 minutes left in the game. The Jayhawks looked grim as they huddled during their timeout, and the Sooners did some preliminary dancing, thinking the championship was all theirs.
The Sooners, though, overlooked two things: substitution and experience. Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs substituted only 12 times the entire game compared to Kansas' 42. In addition, forward Dave Singer, who hit six of eight three-point shots in the first half, faltered at the three-point line and eventually gave up long-range shooting and passed it inside to center Stacey King.
The Sooners also thought that their full-court press would carry them through. It had intimidated other teams, but not the layhawks, who had seen it twice before and were no longer afraid.
"We know what they do in the game," said Kansas forward Milt Newton. "With other teams, they're in shock with the press. But were accustomed to that. We didn't think we could beat a third time. This third time was for the national championship."
The Sooners tried to speed up the tempo as they had in the first half, but several times the Jayhawks deliberately held the ball at the top of the circle to rest and throw Oklahoma off its game.
Oklahoma called a timeout with 1:39 remaining. The score was
77-73, and Grace had just completed two free throws. After the timeout, guard Terrence Mullins fouled Kansas guard Clint Normore, and Normore missed the front end of his one and one.
Kansas coach Larry Brown sent in guard Scooter Barry, one of the team's top free throw shooters. Sieger fouled Newton, who made the front end of his one and one. He missed the second shot.
With less than a minute in the game, Grace hit a jump shot for a 78-75 score, and Oklahoma called a time-out. With 41 seconds left, guard Mookie Blaylock hit a jump shot and made the score 78-77. Tubbs called for another time-out.
Okiahoma applied pressure as the Jayhawks passed the ball around the perimeter. Blaylock fouled Barry,
but Barry completed only the first of his free throws with 16 seconds left in the game.
Okla homa called its last timeout. On the in-bounds pass, Piper was stuck

and could not find anyone open. He called a time-out, and on the second try he passed it to Manning.
"This is for all the people who said it couldn't be done, that we wouldn't make it. This is from the national champions, the No. 1 team in the country. How do you like us now?"
"That was about as nervous as I was in the game," Piper said. "They switched a coupled of guys on us. I didn't have a clear pass, and I wasn't going to take a chance. I told Danny out of the huddle that the ball was coming to him. The other guys were so quick, we needed to use Danny's size."
When the final buzzer sounded, the players rushed onto the center of the court and became one tangled mass, surrounded by cheerleaders, security officers and cameramen desperately trying to capture the moment.
With five seconds left, Grant fouled Manning. And Manning sealed the victory once more completing both his free throws to make the final score 83-79.
"This feeling is great to be able close out my career like this in Kansas City, in front of people that have supported me for four years," Manning said. "It's something well deserved for them, but it wasn't a gift. Some people said we got lucky, but what's luck? Luck presents opportunity, and we took that opportunity."
The crowd was screaming in the stands, and Kansas students who were lucky enough to get tickets for the game were dancing on the press tables that lined the court. The Kansas basketball band played "Goin' to Kansas City." The CBS cameras were pushing to get to Manning, who finished

with 31 points, 18 rebounds and was voted the tournament's most outstanding player.
The players donned national championship T-shirts. Guard Kevin Pritchard searched for his
parents and saw that they were still in the stands waving. He demanded that the security officers let his parents on the floor, and together they celebrated the victory.
Somewhere in the middle of the mess was Brown, who has taken two different schools to three different Final Four appearances in the last seven years. Brown, at age 47, had succeeded in leading the jayhawks to his first national championship.
Just two months ago, Kansas was 12-8, and people wondered whether the Jayhawks would receive a berth in the NCAA tournament.
Last night they shook off the skeptics, played the game of their lives and sent Manning and fellow senior forwards Piper and Archie Marshall off with the greatest farewell present possible.
The stepladders were set up under the baskets at each end, and Marshall, as he did in Pontiac, Mich., was the first to mount the
ladder and cut the net.
The crowd had its eyes fastened on the Kansas team as each player received his chance to cut the net. The Sooners slinked off to their dressing room, heads down. There would be no victorious dancing on the basketball rims this night.
"It's a bitter defeat, because we felt we could win it all, but we didn't and we have to accept that," said Tubbs.
The Sooners, playing the part of the bad guys, with their red-on-white home uniforms, already had done their dancing during the pregame warmups. They exuded the same cockiness that had been their trademark all season, with their index fingers pointed in the air.
KEMPER
KANSAS
The Jayhawks came out solemn and underrated, but determined. They had the same spark of revenge in their eyes as they did against Kansas State in the Midwest Regional at Pontiac and against Duke in the National Semifinal two nights ago in Kemper.
The Sooners had come out smiling, too. The tip-off went to Oklahoma, and Blaylock hit a jump shot for the first basket of the game. As Piper stood on the baseline to inbound the ball, King looked around and grinned wickedly.
For his final collegiate appearance, Marshall came out with the team. He injured his knee in December playing against St. John's and came out for the second time after his injury, dressed in warmup suit and uniform.
Manning hit his jump shot at the other end of the court, Kind was called for traveling as he headed the other way, and when he faced Piper this time for the inbounds pass, the confident grin was replaced by a
Fans in the second level hung a banner that read, "This one is for 23". Marshall glanced around the arena briefly before the game started and saw the sign. He smiled and waved. For the rest of the night, when Kansas was down on the scoreboard, the crowd would break into chant, "Archie.Archie". It was a reminder that the Jayhawks weren't playing just for a national championship.

look of frustration.
The teams played close, exchanging baskets and three-point shots all evening.
Kansas forward Milt Newton did much of the rescue work, making diving saves several times to keep the ball in bounds for Kansas. More importantly, when Sieger threatened at three-point range, Newton helped the Jayhawks recover at key times with three-point shots of his own.
"They had a great first half. You couldn't shoot any better," Tubbs said. "They not only got inside but also got the three-pointers. We never really had firm control of the game, but neither team could really tuck it away."
The pace was still too fast for Kansas. With 8:52 left in the first half, Newton hit a 16-foot jump shot, making the score 33-30, but Brown started screaming on the sidelines for the team to slow down.
The game stood at 50-50 at
half-time. By that time, the crowd had realized the caliber of game it was seeing, something Brown had already recognized.
"I looked at the refs a couple of times, and they were shaking their heads and grinning." Brown said. "It was a great game. Obviously it had all the drama, it was a close ball game, and we had some phenomenal individual performances."
Oklahoma had gone in and out of its press after realizing that it had no effect on Kansas. The Jayhawks shot an incredible 71 percent from the field in the first half and 63.6 percent overall while holding the Sooners to 48.7 percent in the first half and an even more dismal 35.5 percent in the second half.
"In the first half, we ran pretty well, but we knew we needed to go to our own game plan," Newton said. "Coach said if we ran with Oklahoma, we should try to make them pay for it."

OCTOBER 16.1969
Students gather to protest Vietnam War
KANSAN STAFF
editor@kansan.com
The national war moratorium, heralded for weeks as the largest peaceful demonstration ever to take place in the United States, brought more than 2,500 Kansas University students and faculty, Lawrence residents and guests to the Hill Wednesday for anti-war demonstrations and speeches.
Reams of literature concerning the Vietnam War were distributed from tables placed around the campus.
Moratorium observers were asked to sign two petitions — one to President Nixon, urging an immediate end to the Vietnam War, and the other denouncing two Kansas congressmen, Rep. Larry Winn, R-Leawood, and Rep. Keith Sebelius, R-Norton, who signed a letter to Nixon calling for an immediate escalation of the war.
More than 150 students gathered in front of Strong Hall to participate in a silent vigil.
The students stood quietly in lines behind white crosses which had been stuck in the ground in memory of those killed in the war.
One student displayed a sign which read, "Rockchalk, Jaydove, stop war, try love." Another held a sign stating, "Save lives, not face."
Across the street from the vignil, at the proposed site of Wescoe Hall, a microphone was left open for anyone who wanted to speak.
Among those who did speak was Robert Swan, 1968 Democratic peace candidate for Congress from Topeka.
In an address to about 350 people, Swan challenged American involvement in Vietnam and the "myths" that have sustained conflict.
"Two presidents and a silent Congress committed us to Vietnam," Swan said. "Never has a foreign policy been so haphazard and so confused; never have we so
deceived ourselves."
The crowd murmured when Swan charged President Nixon with saying: "To allow government policy to be made in the streets would destroy democratic processes."
Swan said he doubted that those present were trying to destroy the ideals of democracy as Nixon implied, and called the moratorium "the greatest outpouring of democracy in recent years."
Swan urged his audience to again establish the international role of the United States as a "country of peace, not a country of war", and asked for support in building a stronger moratorium in November.
"Two presidents and a silent Congress commited us to Vietnam."
ROBERT SWAN
1968 Democratic Congressional candidate
The Rev. Robert Shelton, acting assistant professor of the School of Religion, also spoke at Wescoe Hall. Shelton told the group gathered at the site that demonstrations can make a significant impact on national policy.
Students spending their first day seriously considering the conflict of Vietnam were experiencing a "rebirth," Shelton said. He added, "I want to wish those students a happy birthday and many more."
In an earlier lecture at Smith Hall, Shelton said that the difference between a just and unjust war was no longer relevant in rationalizing conflict in the world.
"Man cannot talk about a 'just war' in the nuclear age," he said.
Don Baldwin, Wesley Foundation director, spoke to the crowd gathered at the proposed site of Wescoe Hall, denouncing the war as illegal, immoral, and unjust.
"We have a chance to put an end
to war—this war, every war,
he said, "and nothing must deter us."
Another speaker at the open microphone, Bill Hansen, a Kansas City law student, praised the gathering for "turning on to themselves."
Some KU faculty members scheduled open classes and "teachin" to observe the moratorium.
In Lindley Hall, more than 250 people attended an open class on the political geography of Vietnam, presented by Robert E. Nunley, associate professor of geography.
The class lasted two hours twice as long as planned.
Four faculty members conducted a teach-in in Hoch Auditorium. Lawrence Velvel, associate professor of law; Harry G. Shaffer, professor of economics; the School Katz, dean of the School of Social Welfare; and John C. Wright, associate professor of human development, discussed the Vietnam War and the issues which the war presents to their respective disciplines.
Shaffer drew a standing ovation from the crowd of more than 2,500 when he said, "You (young men) shall have to die, and be maimed and become killers, because men in Washington don't have the guts to admit they have been wrong."
"Be abrasive, be demanding, be a thorn in society's flesh," he said. "Use infinite tact, and don't resort to easy arrogance."
PEACE
NOW!
Wright told the assembly that peace workers must not abandon the society and its institutions, even though they may seem to be impervious to change.
Two more faculty members participated in a debate before an audience of more than 1,000 in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Robert A. Burton, assistant professor of oriental languages and literatures, and Carl Lande, associate professor of political science, argued the effects of a Communist takeover in South Vietnam.
Chancellor E. Laurence
With flag held high, peaceful and solemn moratorium marchers paraded down Memorial Drive.
Chalmers did not accept an offer by 14 members of the KU faculty to make a gift to the University of a day's salary.
The offer was not accepted by the Chancellor for two reasons.
He stated that the members of the faculty and administration were on a contractual basis for the academic year, therefore, a leave of absence is the only way that the contract may be terminated for a period of time.
Since the moratorium was not designed to curtail the semester work, Chancellor Chalmers said that the faculty had earned their salaries whether or not they rescheduled their Wednesday classes.
At the University of Kansas Medical Center, the moratorium was observed with a television teach-in and a silent vigil.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Between noon and 3 p.m., the teach-in was broadcast from Wahl Hall-East Auditorium to Bailey Hall on the KU campus.
At 3 p.m., more than 50 social workers, students, faculty
members and sympathizers listened to a memorial service and held a half-hour silent vigil.
The largest and perhaps the most impressive of the anti-war demonstrations was the peace march down Jayhawk Boulevard. More than 3,000 participants, in a line 20 abreast and more than 100 yards long, marched along Memorial Drive, West Campus Road and down Jayhawk Boulevard.
The line of marchers started slowly, and rapidly gained numbers as they marched. As the head of the line reached the Chi Omega fountain, the end was not in sight.
One of the sign carriers yelled to a woman standing in front of Haworth Hall, "That's right, ma'am. Just a real small group of hippies want the war ended."
A splinter group of the peace march continued on an impromptu march through downtown Lawrence.

Kansas was once a leader in the forced sterilization of the mentally disabled, and the University supported it from the beginning.
The last known case of the practice in Kansas occurred 50 years ago, according to a database created by Lutz Kaelber, associate professor of sociology at the University of Vermont.
At least 2,851 people were castrated or otherwise sterilized in Kansas hospitals between 1913 and 1961. Compulsory sterilization gradually fell out of favor and the Kansas legislature repealed the law authorizing it in 1965.
The asylum was originally conceived as a boarding school with goals of education and rehabilitation. Over the years, the schools function turned to employing students in farm labor or simply institutionalizing them, according to a 1965 issue of the Bulletin of the History of Medicine.
The Kansas State Asylum for the Education of Idiotic and Imbecile Youth opened in North College Hall on the University campus Sept. 1, 1881. Ten-year-old Belle Abott of Johnson County entered the asylum as its first student six days later.
Within six years, the asylum had moved to Winfield, where superintendent F Hoyt Pilcher performed 58 castrations and 150 sterilizations of patients. According to the database, many of those people were mentally ill rather than mentally disabled. Abbot died at the Winfield hospital at age 29.
The asylum's move to Winfield was viewed at the time as a loss by the University. Lawrence lost the asylum in a political battle with representatives from elsewhere in the state.
"It was a coup to get one of these institutions in your town," Michael Wehmeyer, a professor in special education, said. "It was one of those politically desirable things; it would
mean jobs, prestige. Back then, it wasn't quackery, it was cutting edge, like bioscience is now"
With 30,000 sterilization across the country in 30 states, Kansas ranked sixth

nationally. The Kansas Legislature passed a law in 1913 allowing for the sterilization of "habitual criminals, idiots, epileptics, imbeciles, and insane." These procedures were widely accepted at the time and promoted through the philosophy of eugenics, which teaches that societies can be improved by selective breeding. The law was amended in 1917 to remove courts from the process and make it easier for health boards to have people sterilized. Even so, widespread uncertainty about the law kept the number of sterilizations in the dozens until the Supreme Court ruling in Buck v. Bell clearly approved of it.

rights was part of a progressive agenda,
it made for some strange bedfellows."
In the 1920s, Kansas families competed in eugenics-inspired fitness contests at state fairs. Wehmer displayed in his office a prize medal from a "Fitter Families Contest," presented by the American Eugenics Society,
"Yea, I have a goodly heritage," the medal read in part.
Wehmeyer said he bought the medal on Ebay. The image of the medal also appears in "The Child," a book written by Florence Sherbon, a University professor of home economics and a Fitter Families proponent.
Wehmeyer said that the eugenics movement was driven by a complex intersection of movements. Psychology and the science of genetics were emerging together, and the industrial revolution inspired people to believe that science could solve all of their problems. The progressive movement, which was powerful in Kansas, encouraged people to work for the improvement of society. Some progressives, such as Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist William Allen White, for whom the University School of Journalism was named, fought against the eugenics movement, but its popularity carried it through the 1940s.
The eugenics movement fell out of favor and the number of sterilizations performed each year dropped drastically following World War II. This was partly because the philosophy of eugenics was similar to the rhetoric associated with the Holocaust, Wehmeyer said. Courts now consider forced sterilization to be clearly unconstitutional.
Whemeyer said pointing the finger at a few policy makers and physicians of the past would be "the easy thing to do."
"There was widespread adoption and acceptance of eugenics," he said. "In the 1950s, it was hard to find anyone who wasn't."
Wehmeyer said it was hard to imagine such things happening again. Attitudes about disability have changed and states have added legal protections for disabled people. But he doesn't discount the danger of abuse whenever some people are identified as defective.

Student radio station adapts to new formats, stays ahead

The nationally recognized university radio station, 90.7 KJHK, wasn't always the station we know now.
KJHK was organized through the journalism school in 1952 and was known as KDGU. It started out as just a carrier current, which was a medium-frequency AM signal broadcast to a very small area. The name changed to KUOK in 1956, and featured news, sports programs and entertainment. When FM caught on nationally in the 1970s, the station saw a potential for a larger audience, and became KJHK in 1975. In the '80s, the station saw the opportunity to play independent music rather than compete with local stations for mainstream media.
KJHK today is no longer affiliated with any one school at the University of Kansas, and is completely student run. Close to 200 student volunteers keep it running 24 hours a day and seven days a week during the school year. The station made the Princeton Review's list of Top 20 College Radio Stations for the last two years, and it was named number two on the 2011 Washington Post list of 10 Great Student-Run College Radio Stations.
"Historically speaking, beyond the awards KJHK has seen across all of its years, the most world-changing success that KJHK has to its credit is that in December 1994, it was one of the first radio stations in the nation to stream its content on the internet via a stable online stream," said General Station Manager Tom Johnson, who is managing KJHK for his seventh year.
The online component of KJHK
was created to broaden their audience, and is proving successful. The station has a blog-format website featuring online streaming capabilities, in-studio performance videos, and new rotation album reviews. General staff and DJ applications are on the website every semester, and are open to all students.
Freshman Adam Yoerg from Hudson, Wis., likes to listen to the standard rotation while doing homework. "They play different music you don't usually hear on other stations, and they play newer stuff." Yoerg said.
"That helps diversify our sound, the fact that anyone can be a DJ," Station Manager Kaitlin Brennan said. "It's a floodgate of majors and whoever wants to be here. That's what makes KJHK so creative."
This semester holds programming in local music, world music, sports, news, jazz, hip-hop, indie, essentially a bit of everything. The programming changes by semester based on student DIs, but it still caters to the desire for something different.
The station nearly lost its FM license in 2003 when operating costs became unaffordable. The next year, however, the KU
"The real success of the station is that any KU student, no matter their major or interests, can join KJHK, learn what they'd like to learn about any or all particular areas of broadcasting, and leave here with an experience they never forget," Johnson said.
Memorial Unions stepped forward to help remodel KJHK's funding and allowed the station to move from its previous location in Sudler Annex to its new studio in the Kansas Union in 2010.

DESIGN, FUND, BUILD
GEOFFREY CALVERT

Architecture graduate students hope a patch of land on West Campus will help them receive job offers after graduation.
Unlike most architecture programs, students in Studio 804 design and construct a building during the academic year instead of just designing it. They are also responsible for finding a client, funding and materials. This year, students in Studio 804 are building the Engineering Research and Teaching facility for KU EcoHawks.
Participation in a project like Studio 804 helps architecture students make themselves stand out, which is more likely to lead to job offers from larger architecture firms.
A May 2012 study by Georgetown University found that architecture has the highest unemployment rate at 13.9 percent of any major for recent graduates. The study used the United States Census Bureau data from 2009 and 2010.
University architecture instructor Charles Linn attributes this to people's mindset before the economy crashed since they wanted as much building of homes, shopping centers and restaurants as possible because credit was so widely available.
"We also suffer from the fact that because credit was so easy to get prior to the crash, there was a tremendous amount of building going on prior to the crash," Linn said. "After the crash, people just have had a tremendously difficult time of borrowing money to do construction."
But Mandy Moore, a third-year graduate architecture student, said she isn't concerned about the architecture unemployment rate.
The University uses a graduate program that many other schools do not, Moore said. She is also one of 20 graduate students who are part of Studio 804.
"Typical architecture firms will just produce construction documents." Moore
According to the American Institute of Architects most recent Business of Architecture survey in 2009, one-person architecture firms comprise 24 percent of

the profession, but employ only two percent of hired architects. However, firms of at least 100 people comprise two percent of architecture firms, but employ 30 percent of architects.
Kate Medin, a third-year architecture graduate student and one of Moore's teammates at Studio 804, has interned at both a small architecture firm and The Architects Alliance, a mid-level firm. She said Studio 804 gives students an

advantage over students from other schools who rely more on entry-level internships.
are getting that experience figuring out how much things actually cost and then how to install it into the building," Medin said.
Moore said Studio 804, led by executive director Dan Rockhill, gives Kansas students the training architecture firms are looking for by involving them from the beginning of the design stage to the end of the construction stage. Students in Studio 804 have an academic year to complete the design and
"I think the students that haven't been out there. that are sitting beside us this year.
This gives younger architects an advantage because they've received the most up-to-date training that includes training in the newest software used to design buildings.
"I know that Dan had mentioned that there had been times where he'll receive calls from potential employers from past 804 students and these employers will say, 'Well, I have this whole stack of portfolios here, but I saw Studio 804. Can you tell me about this student?" Moore said.
"Part of the thing that can happen, particularly for younger people, the economy can come back, the unemployment rate can go down, just through attrition." Linn said. "So I think that what they're predicting the shortage for are skilled, knowledged workers who are the kind of people that we're trying to train."
Linn said when the architecture industry experienced a recession in the 1990s, enough architects left the industry so thatit resulted in what he termed a "mid-level management gap." When it recovered, so many architects had left the profession that there was actually a shortage of architects.

ATHLETICS
Students receive free tickets to Senior Night
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
It may have been a little easier for Kansas Athletics Inc. to hand out free student football tickets Saturday because more than $1 million from student ticket sales is already in the bank.
With 7,400 All-Sports Student Combo tickets sold, Kansas Athletics has made $1.1 million, with tickets still selling.
Students could buy football-only tickets for $45, but must buy the $150 sports combo to get season basketball tickets. Jim Marchioni, a spokesman for Kansas Athletics, expects ticket combo sales to be about the same as the 7,700 sold last year.
"I wanted to go to the basketball games," Hemmy said. "I haven't been to a full football game."
"The basketball tickets always sell" he said.
And students like Kayley Hemmy, a freshman from Salina, buy combo tickets specifically with basketball in mind.
But other students like Vincent Jerkovich, a junior from Salina, don't mind paying a little extra for football tickets.
"I think it's a pretty good deal," Jerkovich said, admitted he had not gone to many football games this year. "I buy them because I love sports, and I guess the
money is probably still worth it even if you just go to the basketball games."
Marchioni said the total sales numbers of combo tickets are not as high as in 2008 or 2009, when both football and basketball were excelling. Despite the student sales, Marchioni said about 7,000 more general admission football tickets were sold.
"It has a lot to do with the excitement surrounding Charlie Weis." Marchioni said.
All football ticket sales, including student tickets, make up about 10 percent of Kansas Athletics, roughly $65 million total revenue.
Marchioni said the department stood to make little by giving away tickets to Saturday's game, not even off concession sales.
"We're not counting on one dime more from concessions," he said. "This is really all about supporting the seniors."
Though Jerkovich had only gone to a couple home games using the tickets he paid for, he planned to go Saturday for free.
"It really doesn't bother me that I paid for tickets and they are giving them away," Jerkovich said. "I think it'll be good to go tell the seniors we appreciate them for playing such a rough season."

Milton's closes, owner to open new restaurant
Milton's, 920 Massachusetts St., has closed its doors to make way for a new restaurant. However, the Milton's on the first floor of the Kansas Union will stay open.
The restaurant opened in 1997 and attracted loyal customers over the years. Those customers and more filled the restaurant and feasted on one last Milton's breakfast yesterday.
"I think it's the end of an era," Allison Maker, Lawrence resident, said. "Milton's is somewhere I've always come with my parents for Sunday brunch."
Loopy's will have a few breakfast items, lunch and dinner, as well as to-go salads, sandwiches and baked goods. Teller said a lot of the meals would be made from scratch and from local foods. The tentative grand opening is Nov. 26. Its hours will be 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The goal is to be an asset to the community, Lewis said. Loopy's is hiring for kitchen help. Prospective employees can apply by emailing jobs@iloveloops.com.
David Lewis, owner of the shops, and Sula Teller, chef, are opening a new restaurant called Loopy's in the 901 Building, 901 New Hampshire St.

Leaders say GOP must revise tactics
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON— Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal says the Republican Party needs to go back to basics to attract the broad coalition of voters credited with putting President Barack Obama back in the White House.
Kindergarten basics.
"If we want people to like us, we have to like them first," Jindal said on Fox News Sunday.
Former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez has a more nuts-and-bolts approach to bringing in some of the largest and fastest growing groups of Americans: He's forming a super PAC to support Republican candidates who back comprehensive immigration reform, including legalizing the status of an estimated 11 million immigrants in the U.S. without authorization.
gave groups in his base coalition: Latinos, African-Americans and young people.
The 2012 elections drove home trends that have been embedded for years in the fine print of birth and death rates, immigration statistics and census charts. Nonwhites made up 28 percent of the electorate this year, compared with 20 percent in 2000, with Hispanics comprising much of that growth. Obama captured a commanding 80 percent of the growing ranks of nonwhite voters in 2012, just as he did in 2008. Republican Mitt Romney won 59 percent of non-Hispanic whites, and although he dominated among white men — outperforming 2008 nominee John
Both Jindal and Gutierrez backed Romney's bid for the White House, but distanced themselves from his post-election comments.
McCain among that group — he couldn't win.
Republicans have spent much of the time since the election wrestling with ways to appeal beyond their base of white men and married women. Nonetheless, in a conference call to big donors last week, Romney credited Obama's win to "extraordinary financial gifts from government" he said the president
Jindal, the incoming chair of the Republican Governors Association and a potential presidential candidate in 2016, on Sunday said
slighting people simply isn't good politics.
Jindal said the Republican Party needs to convince voters it is the party of the middle class and upward mobility. Its conservative principles "are good for every single voter."
"You don't start to like people by insulting them and saying their votes were bought. We are an aspirational party," he said.
"We also don't need to be saying stupid things," Jindal said, referring to GOP Senate candidates in Missouri and Indiana who lost their races after comments about rape that were widely criticized.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the GOP group's incoming vice chair, said also on Fox News Sunday that governors are key to bringing a diversity of voters to the GOP Thirty states have elected Republican governors, an indication that "the trust factor is there."
"We've got a message that works for young people, that works for people who come to our country from other countries, and, basically for anyone who wants to live their piece of the American dream," Walker said. "I think that starts with our governors as great messengers."
"If we get this right... the 21st century is ours," Gutierrez said, referring to the GOP. "If we get it wrong, shame on us."
Gutierrez, who served under George W. Bush, is hopeful for the future of his party.

Former professor files to appeal tenure case
A former University professor is appealing a Douglas County District Court
Albert Romkes worked as an assistant mechanical engineering professor since 2005 until he was not awarded tenure last school year and subsequently dismissed from the University
decision that defends the University's decision not to award tenure to him.
PETER KRONNEN
The appeal was filed last month with the Kansas Court of Appeals after Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild handed down a decision in September siding with the University. Fairchild said in the decision that the tenure denial was "supported by substantial evidence and is neither arbitrary nor capricious."
Though not part of the legal disagreements, Romkes has maintained his stance that the University's decision against him is personal because he was an openly gay faculty member.

"To me, it was clear that there was some personal issue for the dean and the chairman to go against me." Romkes said in a previous University Daily Kansas story about his lawsuit. "I had no idea what it was, except for one potential issue: the gay issue."
the department chair and the dean of the School of Engineering did not agree with the decision to award Romkes tenure. UCPT agreed not to award Romkes tenure because he had not served as a principal investigator on externally-funded grants.
Engineering students and alumni defended and supported Romkes through kualumine4romkes.org. The site alleges that Romkes was not aware of the principal investigator rule because it came into effect in 2009, and Romkes is the only professor rejected for tenure based on the rule.

Gaza's Hamas rulers say calm will come when Israel opens its gates
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Gaza's Hamas rulers are aiming high in the conditions they place on stopping rocket fire into Israel in indirect cease-fire talks launched this weekend. Emboldened by Arab support and confident in their arsenal, the Islamists say calm can only come if Israel opens the gates of the tiny, closed-off territory.
The question is how far Hamas will go to reach that long-sought goal, which Israel opposes out of fear of an influx of weapons to Gaza militants.
in Gaza and Israel is threatening to escalate its military offensive.
For now, public opinion in Gaza appears to support continued rocket attacks on Israel. However, Israeli aircraft have already struck hundreds of Hamas-linked targets
The indirect contacts between Israel and Hamas began Sunday, the fifth day of Israel's massive bombing campaign meant to halt more than a decade of intermittent Gaza rocket attacks on Israel.
tacks on Gaza, including targeted killings of the movement's leaders. The assassination of Hamas' military chief last week after days of smaller exchanges between the two sides marked the start of the Israeli offensive, the most intense since a three-week-long war four years ago.
Hamas' demands, as presented by Mashaal, include open borders for Gaza and international guarantees that Israel will halt all at-

An Israeli envoy was whisked from the tarmac at Cairo's international airport to talks with senior Egyptian security officials. The top Hamas leader in exile Khaled Mashaal held talks with Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, who also spoke by phone with the Hamas prime minister in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh.
Israeli soldiers gather with their armored personnel carriers in a gathering area near the Israel Gaza Strip border, in southern Israel yesterday.

The Islamists view the current round of fighting as an opportunity to pry on the borders of Gaza, which slammed shut in 2007, after Hamas wrested control of the territory from its political rival, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. In response to the takeover, Israel and Egypt — then under Morsi's pro-Western predecessor Hosni Mubarak — sealed off Gaza to disrupt Hamas rule.

until the occupation (Israel) meets our conditions," said Izzat Rishaq, a senior Hamas official who is involved in the cease-fire efforts in Cairo.
The current round of fighting will eventually grind to a halt, but it's unlikely the two sides will emerge with a durable cease-fire, said Israeli analyst Yossi Alpher.
"Both sides will have to come down from their lofty demands, and it will require some heavy pressure," he said.

Serbians react to UN war crimes court ruling
BELGRADE, Serbia — Serb nationalists burned a Croatian flag Saturday to protest a decision by a U.N. war crimes court overturning guilty verdicts against two Croatian generals, and the prime minister called the decision a blow to reconciliation in the postwar Balkans.

Protesters burn a Croatian flag during the protest in front of the presidency building in Belgrade, Serbia on Saturday.
Many in Serbia are furious that appeals judges at the Netherlands-based tribunal on Friday freed Ante Gotovina and Mladen Markac, who had been previously sentenced to lengthy prison terms for killing and expelling Serbs from Croatia during an offensive in 1995.

'Traitors' allowed back in Cuba

HAVANA — Sydney Gregory has never met her father, an Olympic silver medalist in fencing who defected from the Cuban team at a tournament in Lisbon in 2002 when she was 15 days old. But he recently rang from Italy with good news: Papa's coming home to visit.
"I'm very happy," the 10-year-old girl said, smiling in her school uniform with a headband holding back her jet-black hair. "My father called me on the phone and told me he's going to come. I'm going to meet him!"
Under Cuban law, those who abandoned their homeland have had to apply for permission to
return, even for the kind of brief family visit Elvis Gregory hopes to make. Many high-profile people considered deserters have had their requests to return rejected by a communist-run government that complained about the large financial investment it made in their careers. Some didn't even bother to ask, knowing their petitions would be turned down.
But a change taking effect in January will make it simpler for Cubans to visit the homeland they abandoned. It essentially establishes a single set of rules governing the right of return that will apply to everyone who left illegally, no matter what the circumstances of their departure.
The new rules could potentially affect many leading cultural and athletic figures, from musicians and doctors to ballet dancers and former Yankee pitcher Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez. Tens of thousands of people once considered traitors could now be welcomed home.
Cuba is "normalizing the temporary entrance into the country of those who emigrated illegally following the migratory accords of 1994 if more than eight years has gone by since their departure," Homero Acosta, secretary of the governing Council of State, said in a recent TV program examining the changes announced last month.

FILM
EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
Hollywood gears up for a December to remember
For a year so flush with potential, 2012 has proven a decidedly mixed bag for filmgoers, overflowing with a dubious assortment of pleasant surprises and profound disappointments.
Films like Joss Whedon's "The Avengers" and the new 007 adventure "Skyfall" radically surpassed audience expectations while "The Dark Knight Rises," my own most anticipated movie of the year, ended up being a technically accomplished, creatively exhausted letdown. "Prometheus," director Ridley Scott's long-prosperized return to science fiction, earned the irie of "Alien" fans after revealing itself to be less a straightforward prequel to Scott's 1979 original than an audacious standalone effort that happened to be set in the same universe. And don't even get me started on "The Bourne Legacy," which sullied the perfect action trilogy with an unrelated quest for super-steroids.
While rebooted web-slingers, estrogenic archers and Rihanna-enhanced board game adaptations vied for box office supremacy, exciting aureist visions like Rian Johnson's time travel opus "Looper" and Paul Thomas Anderson's intoxicating religious allegory "The Master" struck a chord with audiences starved for intelligence and innovation.
So what can we expect from the rest of the year? Well, December is traditionally Hollywood's proving ground for Oscar contenders, meaning that the next few weeks will likely see a deluge of true-life dramas, visually extravagant period pieces and at least one more film featuring the British monarchy. The following five movies, drastically varied in terms of style and content and listed in no particular order, are the ones I have the highest hopes for.
First up is "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," the first part of Peter Jackson's new Middle Earth trilogy. The film's title is deeply ironic, mainly because fans have been anticipating its release for the better part of eight

lmcdonald@kansan.com
years now, through the dark days of MGM's financial quagmire and the departure of Jackson's first choice to helm the series: Guillermo Del Toro, who spent more than two years designing creatures and developing the scripts with Jackson and his writing team. Despite the litany of setbacks, the finished product itself looks like a marvelous, if distended, adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved story, which finds homebody hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) being recruited by a company of dwarves to help reclaim their treasure from the wicked dragon Smaug (voiced by Freeman's "Sherlock" co-star Benedict Cumberbatch).
Setbacks were never a problem for Tom Hooper's star-studded take on "Les Misérables." After last year's Oscar haul, the director of "The King's Speech" was essentially given carte blanche for his dream project, a big screen version of the Broadway musical based on Victor Hugo's classic novel of redemption and revolution in 19th century France. The new film is already generating buzz based on its rapturous trailer, which features Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe actually singing as opposed to merely lip-syncing to pre-recorded audio tracks. Ordinarily I'm no fan of musicals, but this one looks pretty damn stunning.
Two of the films on my list offer conflicting views of a far more intimate spectacle: the highs and lows of married life, Judd Apatow's "This Is 40," the pseudo-sequel to "Knocked Up," reacquaints us with the unhappily married Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann), who are trying to capture their
sex lives after a decade devoted to parenting and indulging their own petty hang-ups. This may be discouragingly familiar territory for Apatow, but I have faith Rudd and Mann will elevate the material, bringing warmth, insight and hopefully a third act that doesn't wear out a good premise.
"Amour," Austrian director Michael Haneke's austere meditation on age and memory, finds a couple at the opposing end of life's spectrum. Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Anne (Emmanuelle Riva) are comfortably retired music teachers with a grown daughter living abroad. One day, Anne suffers a severe stroke that dredges up years of regret and buried emotion. Trintignant, once a staple of the French New Wave, returned to film at the request of Haneke and his performance doubtlessly contributed to "Amour" winning the Palme D'Or last May at Cannes.
Last but certainly furthest from least is Quentin Tarantino's cheerfully controversial Christmas present "Django Unchained," an antebellum epic that tracks the exploits of a fugitive slave named Django (Jamie Foxx) and the gregarious German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) who takes the young man under his wing. The search for Django's kidnapped wife (Kerry Washington) ultimately leads the mismatched pair to the plantation of Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), a genteel fiend with a penchant for making his slaves fight to the death for his amusement.
At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Tarantino made a point of telling us that "Django" is loosely based on the Norse hero Siegfried, another character consumed with rescuing his true love from a life of bondage.
To paraphrase the instantly quotable DiCaprio character: "You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention."
In other words, roll on December!

Alternatives in responding to negative speech
TGIBS. Thank God It's Basketball Season.
Maybe I'm imagining things, but it seems as if there have been at least two instances of evangelists coming onto campus in order to exercise their freedom of speech by yelling at students. In no way endorse this practice as an accept able way of sharing one's religion. However, I think it's important that students understand their train of thought as well as an alternative to yelling back.
Coming home and seeing my mom wear her KU Final Four shirt always makes me happy.
Calling passersby "whores" and "sluts" sounds more like harassment than Christian vernacular. These phrases are sometimes yelled at students by our good friend Brother Jed, who has been to campus more than once. Chances are he thinks he has a reason.
In the Kansan on Nov. 8, students saw that millennials weren't
very religious. Sure, we pray. We have spirituality, but religion isn't something our generation does well. Wouldn't it make sense for someone interested in sharing a religion to share it with the people who don't have one?
The thing is, Brother led and other evangelists sometimes forget 1 Corinthians 13:13: "Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
Without hope, what's the point? They constantly tell us that we're all going to hell. We can't be saved. We're bad, terrible people without hope. But then? They're going to be in heaven laughing at us.
And love? That's one we can all learn from. Yelling at students and calling them names is hardly

If AT&T sponsors the stadium, how come I can't get a signal at the game but the Verizon guy in front of me can?
In case you're looking for some ideas for the next time this situation arises, try getting a group of friends together to sing on the opposite side of Wescow Beach or to play some music. Hold a dance party. Bake some cookies for the students walking by.

I know it's hard to listen to someone talk about people in such a negative light. It's also difficult to watch someone use the name of God to validate widely opposed opinions. Regardless, understanding and finding alternatives to engaging in combative conversations could help keep things from escalating on Wescoe and give the power back to the students. Brighten the environment, be charming. Spread the love.

BEER
Support American brewery tradition
Many inventions call claim to being the most influential in human history; from the Internet to the printing press to penicillin, they've all had an enormous effect. But there's one invention I think we always overlook in this "Best Thing Ever" contest, an invention that basically created society. There was a reason our hunter-gatherer ancestors decided to set down their bows and invent farming.
And that reason is beer. And it's currently being taken over by foreign companies and we are all letting it happen.
I'm not kidding. Around 10,000 years ago, people in the Middle East settled down and started planting and harvesting grains instead of roaming around hunting wild animals.
Sure, these early farmers made foods like bread, but it wasn't long before some lucky fellow accidentally left some grains in a pot of water for a little too long, and was probably very pleasantly surprised with some beer when he next checked the pot.
Andrew Simpson
You could definitely try and argue that those ancient people were farming so they would have, you know, food to eat. But let's take a look at human nature. If someone offered you a loaf of bread or a six-pack, which would you take? Don't kid yourself, you'd take the beer every time.
By Andrew Simpson asimpson@kansan.com
And then there's the fact that drinking beer was just as important as eating. When all of these ancient peoples started drinking beer instead of water, less and less of them got sick because the alcohol in beer killed harmful bacteria. Everybody wants less sick people, so drinking beer became a necessity to keep people healthy. Drinking beer kept people safer from diseases for thousands of years before we learned how to treat water for public use.
Jumping to the 1700s, beer was still the staple drink, especially in America. Before and after the revolution, brewing was one of America's first small business industries, and before Prohibition, there were 4,000 separate breweries nationwide. Even the founders of the U.S. such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson brewed their own beer. It's really hard to be more American than beer, but more specifically local beer.
You might be wondering why I've been telling you all about
beer. It's because beer has been incredibly influential on the world scale, it should be revered, and beer is very important to me. Also because I think you all are treating beer like dirt and ignoring its impact on America.
The profits of all of the those Budweisers with the American flags you've been drinking, not to mention Bud Light and Natural Light, go to Belgium. All of those Coors, Millers, and Keystones go to Britain and Canada. Freaking Canada! Come on people, you're better than that.
Every time you drink one of those beers, you're threatening the jobs of over 100,000 US craft and local brewers. Here in Lawrence, we have Free State Brewing Company, a local company that's won several awards at the Great American Beer Festival over the years, including 2012. Why don't you buy from them? Because the major brands are a little cheaper? That's like saying, "I enjoy not helping American workers make money." It's hard for me to think of something less American than drinking a Bud.
Seriously though, all it takes is maybe $1 more for something local. All I'm trying to say is, don't stay thirsty like the Dos Equis guy says. Have a beer and make sure that beer supports America.

Petition to ban use of drone strikes
If only the CIA could investigate their military strategies as rigorously as its leaders' sex lives.
As Petraeus does his best to quietly take the backdoor out, drone strikes continue to pound the Middle East, cutting down innocents and provoking thousands to join radical militant groups while accomplishing virtually nothing. American terrorism exists, and we should put an end to it.
Picture this: A cross-hair focuses in on a hazy clump of buildings, and the operator twiddles his joystick to find the perfect shot. The first of two anti-tank Hellfire missiles opens a gash in Pakistani countryside. There is no kill confirmed, all that can be seen is the shell of a rural house. Rescuers arrive on the scene with stretchers, unarmed. The second missile is released.
There was a good chance they were terrorists, right?
The foreboding hum of unmanned Predator drones has been heard from Yemen to the U.S.-Mexican border. The constant threat of spontaneous combustion is a hellish reality for thousands of people throughout the Middle East, a reality that has been hidden from public and legal scrutiny. Many citizens can't attend the weddings of their friends in case a single guest is an American target. The funerals of those killed in previous attacks have then been bombed in a "double-tap" reminiscent of terror methods used by the likes of Hamas and al-Qaida. These methods and others were described in a joint study released by NYU and Stanford titled, "Living Under Drones." To be blown apart because twhe apartment above yours had a suspected terrorist over for dinner the week before. Now that's democracy in action.
The problem with this mentality is that we are treating a spider bite by scratching the surface. Every drone strike that successfully eliminates a handful of suspected terrorists motivates a dozen more young men to join radical group. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has confirmed that for every single suspected terrorist killed, 49 civilians are sacrificed. Having your family torn apart in an instant is not easy to forget. And the American public is still confused
By Wil Kenney wkenney@kansan.com
by anti-Western sentiment? Let's be honest with ourselves.
It's not as if these attacks are legal, either. The U.S. is not officially at war with Pakistan, so strikes into their territory are violations of their sovereignty. If any other nation pulled this kind of stunt, the response would be open war. Pakistan has nukes and a history filled with military coups, angering them is asking for a trigger-happy, nuclear orgy. Conveniently, the constant turbulence in the region is a curtain to hide behind for the CIA, who has no obligation to report their result. Despite investing billions into a fleet of drones twenty thousand strong, the kills just weren't coming in. What was the CIA response? Broaden the definition of a terrorist to inflate their success rates. They're using international cheat codes.
But don't flip out quite yet, the conversation on drone strikes is happening and you're invited. Brushed away behind news of Syria and the Afghan withdrawal, there are petitions to impose an immediate ban on drone strikes, go sign them. Apply the fervor of past viral campaigns to this issue and don't let up on your representatives when they say that they're powerless. The CIA has no issue with research their leader's career into the ground, so force them to re-evaluate their own methods. The election is over and done with. This is Obama's final term, and he can govern with the gung-ho bravado that got him elected in the first place. As the cabinet, CIA and political spectrum adjust themselves, now is the perfect time to amend this unproductive practice.
But hearing how Petraeus got some was always a bit more interesting.

Opera more than just music
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
When Kristee Haney, a doctoral candidate in musical arts at the University, was in high school, she began making fun of an opera singer while practicing with her voice teacher one day. Her teacher was impressed by what she heard and told Haney to do it again.
Having previously been involved in just musical theater, Haney veered down the path of singing classical music.
"It's all the good stuff of musical theater: It's the most musical, and it's the most dramatic stories and it's the most glamorous costumes. It's all of the above in one," said Haney, who will give her final performance in the University's Opera programs double-bill of Leonard Bernstein's "Arias and Barcarolles" and "Trouble in Tahiti" tonight at 7:30 pm in the Robert Baunatian Theater.
Opera presents a hard challenge to market to younger generations, especially since, unlike their parents, the millennial generation didn't grow up with opera music in the background of their cartoons.
But as the culture has evolved, the process of how an opera is performed has changed as well.
"In the old days, singers could just walk out on stage, hurl and then cough," said Dean Anthony, the director of the show. "And that's not the way it is anymore. Audiences are much more media oriented and visually oriented than they were back 30 years
were back 50 years ago."
By bringing in Anthony as a guest director, the University Opera program added someone who emphasizes the theatrical part of opera,
Instead, the actors focus on how they sing the words and the actions they use to accompany the song to reach the audience.
"The audience, they don't need to know what you're singing. They need to feel what you are singing."
"The audience, they don't need to know what you're singing, they need to feel what you're singing."
DOMINIC JOHNSON Master's student in Opera program
as Anthony spent his time performing as a character actor, where his actions were just as important as his words.
"A lot of times in opera, people do these stock, very melodramatic gestures that don't make sense, and he's all about cutting that, figure out what you're trying to do, what you're trying to say and just do it," said Stephen Dagrosa, a masters student who performs in "Arias and Barcarolles."
With operas frequently written in other languages, it can be a challenge to present their messages to a younger audience who is not familiar with the language.
said Dominic Johnson, a master's student who is performing in "Trouble in Tahiti."
"Just because it's in another language doesn't mean you can't
still appreciate the beauty in it." Haney said.
By holding the performance in the intimate setting of the Baustian theater, formerly known as the Black Box Theater, it gives the actors an opportunity to reach the audience on a more personal level.
In the close quarters, actors are thrust to the forefront, and they can't hide in the back.
Mark Ferrell, the Director of the University's Opera program, hopes the smaller setting is less intimidating for students to come and watch their peers perform.
"What this gives us the opportunity to do, in this intimate setting,
is really challenge the actors to get their acting chops in line," Anthony said. "Because what you see in this black box theater is that we see every tweak, every twinge because you're sitting right on top of the performers."
But one of the biggest draws that the cast of the show hopes will draw students to the show is the opportunity to see the event live and in person, where not even the actors can be 100 percent certain what will happen next.
"In this age where everything is on the Internet, everything is on demand, it's really interesting to come and see something that you're experiencing now, with the person on stage." Haney said.
"You can't take away the minute before," Anthony said. "You can only prepare for the minute after."

BOISE, Idaho — A break-in at Zoo Boise early Saturday left a Patas monkey dead from blunt force trauma to the head and neck and police were analyzing blood found at the scene to determine if it came from the monkey or one of two human intruders.
Two males wearing dark clothing were spotted by a security guard at 4:30 a.m. outside the fence near the primate exhibit, police said. Both fled, one of them heading into the interior of the zoo. Boise police used a thermal imager in searching the 11-acre zoo grounds but didn't find the person.

TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Kansas (2-1) enters the CBE classic still trying to figure out which piece of the puzzle fits where and what each player's role will be. The offense has been particularly inconsistent, looking at times like a well-oiled unit and at other times like five people who have never played together before.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Perry Ellis, freshman forward
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
After a stellar first game, Ellis has been a virtual non-factor for the Jayhawks in their last two games. The freshman will have an opportunity to show Kansas coach Bill Self that he can be a more physical player against a team that has size in the forward position.
"I'm set on four starters, and I'm not even close to being set on the fifth. I don't know who's better off the bench or who's better starting. We haven't given Kevin Young a chance to start because of his hand."
Bill Self on the fifth spot in the starting lineup
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
The Jayhawks hit their open shots. Through three games, the Jayhawks have seen many open looks from beyond the arc, but they have yet to capitalize on them. If they do start making shots, the game will be over before it begins.
QUESTION MARK
Will someone step up and claim the starting spot at the forward opposite Jeff Withey? Through three games, neither Jamari Traylor, Perry Ellis or Kevin Young have established themselves as the guy who deserves to be in the starting lineup. Ellis has had flashes of offensive brilliance, and Traylor is looking freakishly athletic, but they haven't done enough to distinguish themselves.

TOMMY H. JOHNSON
For sports, Johnson has looked like the offensive leader he has the potential to be, but for the most part, he has yet to break out of the passive groove he's played in. He awoke in the second half against Chattanooga. If he can keep that momentum going, he and the Kansas offense will be in for a big day.
★★★☆
Releford
Travis Releford, Senior Guard
To say that Releford's 3-point shooting this season has been bad would be an understatement, but the senior's biggest contribution continues to be on the defensive end, and as long as he continues to play tenaciously on defense, his offensive woes will be forgotten.
McLemore
★★★★☆
Ben McLemore, Freshman Guard
TIMothy
Young
Coming off his 25-point outing, the explosive McLemore will be expected to play a major role in the offense once again, but the other significant contribution he can make is on glass down low, where his rebounding will be an added boost, and an offensive put-back could ignite the Jayhawks.

PETER SCHNEIDER
Young hasn't looked like his previous self since returning from a broken hand last week. The Jay-hawks will need him to play with energy from the get-go as they try to play their first complete game of the season.

Withey will have to come out and play tough for a whole game defensively against Washington State, as he will be charged with shutting down their leading returning scorer from last season, 6-foot-10-inch Brock Motum.

Lacy was a Pac 12 All-Freshmen honorable mention last season. As a sophomore, he will be depended upon to score points. Last season, Lacy averaged 8.5 points per game. This season, he has averaged 11.3 ppg after three games. Lacy has quick hands, and creating turnovers is one of the strengths of his game.

Royce Woolridge, Sophomore Guard
Woolridge is a bit of a combo guard, and WSU will need him to handle the ball at times. In his one year at Kansas, Woolridge played in 16 games and played 2.8 minutes per game. He has a much more important role at WSU and will need to have a big game for the Cougars to compete with the Jayhawks.
★★★☆☆
Dexter Kernich-Drew, Sophomore Guard
Wooldridge
Kernich-Drew may get the start in place of Mike Ladd, the senior who is out for the season with a torn ligament in his thumb. WSU does not have many experienced players on their roster. Kernich-Drew is one of the few guards with experience that could replace Ladd. Sophmore Brett Kingma, a transfer from Oregon, is another option at this spot in the Cougar starting line-up.

Shelton is a 1-foot-10-inch redshirt junior with one year of Division I experience. He has been an important piece of the WSU team this season as the team's leading rebounder, but only had four rebounds against Pepperdine. The Cougars can't get dominated on the boards by Kansas if they are going to compete, and they will need Shelton to do his part.

Brock Motum, Senior Forward
Motum is 6-foot-10-inch forward from Brisbane, Australia. Last season was the break-out year for Motum. He went from being fifth on his team in scoring with 7.6 points per game in his sophomore season to being the top scorer in the Pac 12 with 18 ppg. Motum was named the Most Improved Player in the Pac 12. He had a rough game on Friday against Pepperdine, though, scoring 15 points, shooting 4-13 from the field.

WASHINGTON STATE TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Washington State (2-1) is a team that is trying to develop chemistry in these early season games, as they have added eight newcomers to the team this season. In the Cougars' most recent attempt, they did not fare so well, losing 56-58 to Pepperdine, a team that was 0-2 going into the game. The media that cover the Pac 12 ranked WSU near the bottom of the league this season at No.10. Senior guard Mike Ladd recently tore a ligament in his right thumb, which could end his college career.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Royce Woolridge, Sophomore Guard
This is a game that Royce Woolridge has probably been looking forward to for a long time. Woolridge spent most of his freshman season at Kansas on the bench. At the end of the year, he transferred to Washington State where he sat out for a year and is now eligible to play. The redshirt sophomore will start tonight against his former team, and he may feel like he has something to prove.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"It's tough when you have an injury, it's really difficult when you have a season-ending injury, and it can be at times devastating when you have a career-ending injury, and him being a senior, he's finished here at WSU."
— Washington State coach Ken Bone on senior guard Mike Ladd's injury
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF.
Royce Woolridge comes into the game with a chip on his shoulder and shoots lights out against his former team. That is probably the only thing that could stop Kansas from winning its first game at the Sprint Center this season. Even then it seems unlikely.

Volleyball notches back-to-back sweeps of Oklahoma,TCU
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Playing in Fort Worth, Texas for the first time ever, the Kansas volleyball team made no plans to stick around any longer than it had to, dispatching the Texas Christian Horned Frogs in three sets Saturday.
Freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery reached 10 kills for the first time since Oct. 10 against Oklahoma, while redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc added 11 kills. The duo committed only five attack errors during the match.
"It felt really good to get back in the groove of things because for a while there, I kind of hit a rut and wasn't really executing the way that I was before," Dockery said. "I kind of relaxed a little bit and clamped myself down so I wasn't so stressed."

Dockery had seen her role on the team go from offensive to defensive after sophomore outside hitter Chelsea Albers entered the Jayhawk lineup midway through
the season once she overcame early season health setbacks.
Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc and junior setter Erin McNorton jump up to block their opponents hit during Saturday's game against TCU in Fort Worth, Texas. Kansas won 3-0.
Coach Ray Bechard said he decided to rely heavily on Dockery instead of redshirt junior Catherine Carmichael against TCU because of Dockery's defense. But Dockery's biggest contributions actually came on offense, and she paced the Jayhawks in their 25-18 first set victory with four kills.
Carmichael ended with a negative attack percentage in three of the jayhawks' previous four matches, so Dockery's offensive outburst helped keep her on the court.
"Dockery's been practicing well. and we've given Carmichael, McClinton and Dockery all time." Bechard said. "We thought today some of the things we're doing defensively would highlight some of Dockery's talent. Cathy would have done well today. We just settled on Dockery today."
TCU's setter, Megan Munce, entered the match second in the Big 12 with .42 aces per set. But Kansas kept her from recording an ace, which also occurred when the two teams met earlier this season in
Lawrence.
TCU only managed one ace on Saturday while committing four service errors. The Jayhawks netted
two aces apiece from Jarmoc and junior setter Erin McNorton, while committing only three service errors as a team.
"I don't think they really ever could get into system like we could, and we were almost always in-system I felt like," McNorton said. "Our passers did really well. Not only were we digging, but all our passes I thought were to target on serve-receive."
The Jayhawks swept both matches they played this week, but on Wednesday, Kansas needed two extended set victories to earn a sweep against Oklahoma.
On Saturday, however, Kansas won every set by at least seven points, using runs of 11-2, 15-4 and 8-3 to break each set wide open.
Behind McNorton's 34 assists on Saturday, the Jayhawks managed to record 45 kills against 13 attack errors, while holding TCU to 32 kills and forcing them into 17 errors.
Bechard said the Jayhawks' goal was to hit at a .275 percentage for the match, while holding TCU to below .200. Although TCU outblocked Kansas 6-3, the Jayhawks' front line was able to get touches on many of the Horned Frogs' attack. This slowed the ball down for the Jayhawks' passers, helping them to
get in-system and execute their attack. Kansas outdug TCU 50-41, which negated the Horned Frogs slight blocking advantage.
"We didn't have a single block at the break, but our back row was saying, 'Hey, you guys are getting a ton of touches.' Bechard said. "I think that was a key that we dug 50, but we touched a ton of balls off our block that we were able to transition kill."
The victory moved Kansas to 23-6 overall and 11-4 in the conference, ensuring the team will finish at least third in the Big 12. Iowa State is holding onto second place by half a match with an 11-3 record. Kansas' victory gives it the most wins in a season since the 1991队 finished 25-10.
The Jayhawks have two matches remaining in the regular season. They host Saint Louis at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse, which is where Kansas will play if it is selected to host NCAA Tournament matches.
Davis leads Jayhawks with 22 points in comeback victory over Demon Deacons

When No. 25 Kansas came out of halftime trailing for the first time this season, the team relied on senior forward Carolyn Davis.
In the 64-58 Kansas victory
against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Davis showed why she has been mentioned in preseason watch lists. Davis had 16 of her team-high 22 points in the second half.
"It was frustrating being down at half. We talked about how they were

Davis was assisted by junior forward Tania Jackson, who got her first start of the season. In the game
against SE Missouri State on Wednesday, Jackson came off the bench as a huge spark. She went for 12 points and 13 rebounds to help the Jayhawks defeat the Redhawks.
Jackson's play was no different Sunday evening.
as she put up 13 points and nine rebounds.
Jackson is known as a high-energy player, but it's always a challenge
for bench players to bring the same intensity as starters.
"Just to come off the bat with energy and do what I do coming off the bench: start with energy and finish with energy," Jackson said. "When I come off the bench, I'm excited because I'm going into the game and to give energy to the team. But it's different when you start, and you have to start and finish."
For the third consecutive game, the Jayhawks couldn't find the bottom of the net with consistency. They finished shooting just 37.5 percent, and senior guard Monica Engelman shot just more than 18 percent. Henrickson isn't worried about her senior or any other player who is struggling shooting, but
she does have to find a way to get them out of their slump.
"You have to shoot yourself out of it," Henrickson said. "You shot your way into it, and you have to
boot yourself out of it. They need to get some extra shots up and get some confidence. The heart rate should drop a little bit and think this one is going in."

winning in the last minute might have its benefits, but Henrickson wants to figure out why the Jayhawks were in that situation against Wake Forest.
Goodrich finished the game with 13 points and three assists. Knighttadded six points and seven rebounds.
Winning
"There's tremendous value in winning a game like that," Henrickson said. "Certainly we need to address why we're in a game like that."
Like Henrickson, the players believe a tough home win will help the team in the long run, but it's in these games when the chemistry and unity of the team comes together.
"I think it's definitely going to help us, to play tight games like this and come together as a team," Jackson said. "That's what we did today at half. We came together and said we got this and calm down."

THE MORNING BREW Football in Kansas on the rise, McLemore off to a hot start
This past weekend was rough for football fans in Kansas: The Jayhawks lost to the Iowa State Cyclones in a blowout on Senior Day, Kansas State lost its chance at a perfect season and likely a trip to the National Championship game and the Chiefs continued their historically bad season with a 28-6 loss at home.
By Jacob Clemen
jclemen@kansan.com
Still there is great reason for optimism, at least for the college football fans in Kansas.
In Lawrence, Charlie Weis' Jayhawks have seen drastic improvements from last season despite winning fewer games. With another year to assemble a team and get to know his players, Weis should be in a position to make Kansas relevant again in the Big 12.
Even this season, it felt like Kansas was less of a pushover and an easy win for many opponents. Walking to the game against Iowa State on Saturday night, a Cyclones fan told me he was nervous for the game and thought the Jayhawks could give them trouble. This is not something you would have heard a year ago.
In Manhattan, Bill Snyder has built an elite program that could find itself in position to
compete for a National Championship again in the near future. The Wildcats will be able to contend with Texas and Oklahoma to win Big 12 championships and recruit top talent away from the Sooners and Longhorns.
The Chiefs are still a mess, but college football in Kansas is on the rise, and should make football season more bearable in Kan-
This year's basketball season is off to a start very reminiscent of last year's.The offense has been sluggish at times, and turnovers have made layhawk fans uneasy in the first three games of the regular season.
MCLEMORE JAYHAWK MVP SO FAR
The Jayhawks are 2-1 with their loss coming against a strong Michigan State Spartans team in Atlanta at the Champions Classic, the same tournament where Kansas lost to Kentucky last year.
In the two victories for Kansas, fans at Allen Fieldhouse groaned as they watched sloppy play and limited half court offense for much of the first half of both games. But in the end, Kansas was able to pull away thanks in large part to red shirt freshman Ben McLemore.
McLemore scored 2.5 points for the Jayhawks with 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the victory over Chattanooga Thursday. McLemore showcased his explosive speed and leaping ability on several alley-oop dunks along with his shooting prowess as he was able to knock down open jump shots from range.
KU
McLemore improved in each game as he scored nine points in the opener against Southeast Missouri State, and 14 against
Michigan State, before exploding for 25 points against Chattanooga.
On top of his scoring ability, McLemore has shown he is a multidimensional player, as he is averaging over seven rebounds and three assists per game. Expect McLemore to be the focal point of Bill Self's offense during end-of-game situations all season long.

Chiefs bury themselves again, lose to Bengals
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It was almost like a funeral, night down to the fans wearing black.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Anerie silence descended over Arrowhead Stadium midway through the second half Sunday, when the Kansas City Chiefs were well on their way to their seventh straight defeat.
Cincinnati certainly played its part in casting the pall over the venue, stuffing the Chiefs' hept offense and shredding their
defense in a 28-6 victory that got the Bengals back into playoff contention while prolonging the misery in Kansas City at least one more week.
"We aren't babies. We know that when we aren't winning, fans are going to get mad," Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers said. "We've got to find a way to get this thing turned around."
They've been trying in vain for weeks.
Andy Dalton threw for 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, A.J. Green caught
six passes for 91 yards and a score, and Ben]arvus Green-Ellis had 101 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals (5-5) won their second straight following their own four-game losing streak.
Mohamed Sanu also had a touchdown catch as the Bengals (5-5), suddenly back in the post-season hunt, prepare to play four straight against teams that began the day with losing records.
None of them is as bad as the Chiefs, though.
Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing for Kansas City (1-9).
but that was the only highlight for a team whose lone victory this year required a franchise-record 18-point comeback.
The Chiefs' once-raucous home was only about half-full most of the game, and a good portion of those who showed up were dressed in black — a grass roots effort organized by angry fans who were "mourning" another lost season in an attempt to pressure team ownership to make changes.
Once again, an airplane towed a banner calling for general manager Scott Pioli to be fired.
"Everyone in this building is frustrated. We don't want to go out and perform like that," said Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel, who was benched at halftime in favor of Brady Quinn. "We don't want to lose like that. We want to go out and compete and win games."
The Chiefs' performance on the field wasn't much different than the rest of the year, though, and now the injuries are piling up. Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe hurt his neck and right tackle Branden
Albert hurt his back, and coach Romeo Crennel said he's not sure of the status of either one. As if the Bengals weren't just fine when the Chiefs had their full complement of players.
"We knew this was going to be a grind," Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said, though it seemed more like a walk in the park to the scattered groups of fans watching from the stands.
"We wanted to jump on them early, and being aggressive was what we needed to do," Dalton said.

NOTES
Tony Pierson showed some great vision while cutting up the field on a called flea-flicker and creating room for a 54-yard touchdown run. Pierson was supposed to hand the ball off to Crist, but once he saw Crist was covered, he decided to make his own play.
DELAY OF THE GAME
This was supposed to be the game that Kansas won with a heavy run attack, solid defense and great fan support. Only one of those factors showed up, and it was gone by halftime.
Verdict: Awesome
Kansas came out for warm-ups sporting its usual blue shirts, white pants uniforms. When the team went back to the locker room for final preparations, its lockers were lined with all-new black-on-black jerseys along with a white helmet featuring a Jayhawk logo. None of the players knew they were getting the new gear.
Early in the game, it seemed as though every play was under review. Yes, there were some iffy plays, but you would have thought the refs were suffering from major glaucoma. Fortunately, that phase ended quickly.
GAME BALL
Tony Pierson gets the honors this week. His 55-yard touchdown run showed his creativity, but as Weis noted, nothing showed Pierson's character quite like his hustle on a two point conversion that ISU intercepted. Pierson ran from the back of the end zone to about the Kansas 15-yard line to stop the Cyclones from scoring.
LOOKING AHEAD
The Jayhawks will take some time off with a bye this week. Kansas will return to action on December 1, in Morgantown, West Virginia, against a potent Mountaineer offense led by quarterback Geno Smith. I would guess defensive coordinator Dave Campo needs the extra time as much as anyone.
FINAL THOUGHT:
Kansas had invested so much into this game. The PR machine was churning out whatever it could to get fans in the seats, and the Jayhawks looked like they were about to turn the corner — until everything imploded. After convincing the fans to come back to games, they might not return until the Jayhawks have more than the prospect of a win. They'll need to see proof it can happen.

Kansas fans show their appreciation to the senior players after the match against Iowa State Cyclones Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. Kansas fell to Iowa State 23-51.
Support from Weis, fans motivates players
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
Kansas coach Charlie Weis supported his players through thick and thin in his first year in Lawrence.
He dedicated all of last week to the seniors and did as much as he could to promote senior night and get fans to attend the game. The seniors knew what Weis had done all week. However, there was one more thing Weis had to offer his seniors.
The players went to the locker room after pregame warmups and were astounded to discover black jerseys waiting to be worn. It was one last motivational tool by Weis to add excitement for the players, the seniors specifically.
The players hoped that Saturday night would be the night where they'd have a different uniform to put on. But at some point before the game, the players came to the conclusion that it would not happen. The players already sported their traditional blue on white home attire, only to find out right before the game that they'd be going with a black-on-black attire with white helmets containing a Jayhawk.
"We actually talked before the game about wearing our throw-
backs," said offensive guard Duane Zlatnik. "We walked in after our pregame meal and were all kind of disappointed that we didn't have anything. Then we went out, warmed up, and did our Senior Day thing. When we walked back into the locker room I was one of the first ones in there, and we were all pumped."
Weis wanted to help the seniors go out on a positive note after all they had gone through, as most
of them experienced three different head coaches during their time as a Jayhawk. Many players felt the emotional vibe during the pregame ceremonies for senior night. Their families waited as the seniors had their names announced and were treated to a special video tribute.
— I'm always going to be trying stuff to get something to work. I'll never stop trying. I'll always keep trying."
"I'm always going to be trying stuff to get something to work. I'l never stop trying."
Quarterback Dayne Crist, who played under Weis in Notre Dame before the two reunited in Kansas, said that his attempt to make the seniors feel good was well received. Crist is not surprised by what Weis did for the seniors and will always appreciate that about him.
Although the senior night festivities didn't translate to a win Saturday night, Weis, who did not inform any player nor any assistant coach about the jerseys, has no regrets for what he did for the seniors all week.
"I wanted to do something special for the seniors," he said. "It didn't work, but I'll tell you what
CHARLIE WEIS Kansas football coach
"Everything he does is from the heart," Crist said. "As players, it is something that we felt great about knowing that he cared enough about us to make this
week about the seniors. He didn't have to do things, like buy the extra seats for the seniors. But he did and that just speaks volumes about the type of guy he is and the type of commitment he has to his players."
This year's senior class learned that not everything would go their way. The multiple head coaching changes made is an indication of what the team went through.
Even though he knew most of the seniors for less than a
year, Weis had a big influence on the players' lives. Safety Bradley McDougald even approached Weis before the game and thanked him for everything that he did for Kansas this season.
This year, McDougald and his teammates noticed a sign in the student section each game that read 'We still believe.' It helped inspire McDougald and the rest of the seniors to not give up on one another. McDougald and defensive end Toben Opurum walked off the field together following Saturday's loss while the senior video tribute was played one last time.
McDougald told Opurum that even though they may have lost many games, a select few could do what they've done and deal with the obstacles and challenges they were faced with.
"To come back and battle every week, day in and day out, it shows our mentality and you can knock us down," McDougal said. "But we're going to get up every time. Knowing that I got guys like that who are willing to do it with me, week in and week out, I wouldn't trade it for the world."
— Edited by Joanna Hlavacek
Nothing good came from the Jayhawks' decision to abandon the run game. Granted Iowa State had taken a ghastly lead, but Kansas is not built to throw the ball. Dayne Crist came in to prove otherwise, but poor passing and dreadful receiving stopped the offense from moving the ball.
OFFENSE
Grade: D+
DEFENSE
Here's what may be most shocking; Iowa State simplified its offense when backup Sam Richardson took over as quarterback. The Jayhawks were still baffled. Usually Kansas has trouble stopping the big play, but on Saturday, the team had trouble stopping most plays, as ISU racked up 548 yards on offense.
Grade: D+
SPECIAL TEAMS
Ron Doherty averaged 38 yards per punt, and Nick Prolago connected on his only field goal attempt, but ISU's Aaron Horne had 86 yards on four punt returns. The only bright spot is Bradley McDougald, who seems to make every tackle on special teams.
COACHING
Earlier in the year, Kansas coach Charlie Weis said he wouldn't play "musical quarterbacks." That wasn't the case Saturday. James Sims, Tony Pierson, Kale Pick, Dayne Crist and Michael Cummings all received snaps at one point, but none worked too well. And finally, a big 12 defense figured out the Jayhawks' run game.

COMMENTARY
Seniors deserve our recognition
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
One victory this season could easily be five, and the resiliency and ability to compete was always there. The seniors never gave up.
Thank you, seniors. Be proud of your years of hard work for the program and the University.
Four years ago, the Kansas football seniors arrived on campus. The players immediately bonded as bewildered freshmen and built a brotherhood with teammates. They watched the then-seniors play their last football game at Memorial Stadium.
Edited by Christy Khamphilay
On Saturday, those same players walked onto the field and played their last home football game. Despite nontraditional black uniforms and a strong first quarter, Kansas lost 51-23 to Iowa State.
Yes, the record stands at 1-10 on the season with only one game left, but this senior class deserves major recognition for the many bumps in the road.
Instead, most stayed and continued to fight for the University.
Most of these seniors arrived in 2009, playing for former coach Mark Mangino. Shortly after, Mangino was fired, and coach Turner Gill stepped onto the scene for two short years. And after Gill's firing, Charlie Weis is now at the helm.
The seniors may not have the best record at Kansas, but the things that they do should be noted. Whether it's battling back from a season injury or adjusting to coaches, these seniors have put in the time and work to represent the University.
SENIOR SEND-OFF
All of those coaching changes made it difficult on these players. The seniors easily could have transferred to a different university or quit.
If coaching changes weren't enough, some players switched positions. Wide receiver Kale Pick switched to quarterback. Defensive end Toben Opurum bulked up for his new position after being a running back. Safety Bradley McDougald flipped to defense after being a wide receiver.
There are many more players with switches, but those players all could have left. Instead, they continued to fight.
Even injuries hurt these seniors along the way. Offensive lineman Trevor Marrongelli suffered a season-ending leg injury during his sophomore year. Wide receiver Daymond Patterson played against McNeese State and didn't play for the rest of last season.
Offensive lineman Tanner Hawkinson set a Kansas record with his 47th consecutive start. He also tied the Kansas all-time start record of 47. Wide receiver D.J. Beshears passed the 2,000-yard mark for career kick return yards with 2,059, which is second all-time. Beshears only needs 17 yards to break the career record.
Still, after the scrapes, strained muscles and broken bones, they continued to push through the pain.
Most of these players barely have 10 or more victories in their four-to-five-year tenure. In the Big 12, some players only have two conference victories.
Though the win-loss column might be awful, this senior class succeeded in different ways.

Bowl-hungry Cyclones dominate Jayhawks with simple strategy on Senior Night
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
It was supposed to be the game where the Kansas football program turned the corner.
After all, Kansas coach Charlie Weis had offered to buy tickets for any student that didn't have one. And the Jayhawks had just come so close to beating a ranked Texas Tech team on the road. And it was senior night. This had to be the moment where it all clicked for the Jayhawks, didn't it?
It would have been poetry to beat the school that Kansas topped in 2009 to start a 5-0 record—the last win before the program crumbled.
Instead, Iowa State cruised to a 51-23 victory. The Cyclones couldn't have been less phased by the crowd of 41,608 at Memorial Stadium or the black on black uniforms that Weis surprised the team and fans with. We may never see those uniforms again.
"Going out early and feeling all that emotion and getting ready to run out on the field, there was definitely a lot of adrenaline, for the first time all year," left tackle Tanner Hawkinson said.
The Cyclones were trying anything to get there. Starting quarterback Steele Jantz, who had been inconsistent all year, was yanked early in the first quarter after he fumbled on ISU's first possession and went three and out on his second drive.
What the Jayhawks weren't ready for was a 5-5 Iowa State team desperate to reach a bowl game — a win against Kansas assured one.
Taking over for Jantz was Sam Richardson, a freshman who had yet to throw a pass all year and was low enough on the depth chart that Weis didn't even spend anytime preparing for him. Weis later said that he should have.
All Richardson did was complete
23 of 27 passes for 250 yards and
"They were more simple than they've been on tape," Weis said. "They'd been quite exotic in the last bunch of weeks with formations. They just lined up and went right after us and did it very well."
Perhaps that was the biggest difference between the two teams on Saturday. Iowa State was scarily simple, and Kansas was catastrophically complex.
four touchdowns.
The Jayhawks had five different players take snaps: starting quarterback Michael Cummings, relegated back-up quarterback Dayne Crist, running backs Tony Pierson and James Sims and wide receiver Kale Pick who was recruited as a quarterback. None of them sufficiently paid off.
"We had enough confidence that Iowa State would try to load up front," Weis said of putting Crist back in. "The next thing we're going to have to do is try to throw behind them."
Sims snapped his school record-setting streak of six straight games with a hundred yards rushing finishing with just 81. Crist found 156 yards and a touchdown through the air, but only completed 9 of 20 passes with an interception. And Tony Pierson's speed was only showcased on one play, a 55-yard run that was supposed to be a flea flicker until Pierson found a seam and ran straight up the middle untouched to the end zone.
And Richardson? He was firing bombs left and right, picking apart a defense that had been solid for Kansas the vast majority of the season.
Yet it wasn't being down 38-17 at halftime that sunk the layhawks; it was the next Iowa State score after it, a 51-yard field goal that had no trouble getting past the uprights.
"It's the small things like that," safety Bradley McDougald said. "Special teams count, so when a guy walks up and punches in a
4
51-yarder, their team takes notice of that and gives them energy we didn't need them to have"
It became a shootout no Jayhawk wanted to be a part of. This Kansas team is built on running the ball and playing bend-dont-break defense.
"We are not a 51-point offense." Weis said. "I thought it would be in the 20s. I thought they were going to run it, and we were going to run it. I didn't come to the game expecting to throw the ball 25 times."
And the fans, the ones that Weis had worked so hard to get to jump onto the bandwagon of a 1-9 team, they were gone by halftime and may not be coming back until there's a legitimate reason to.
"If I was a fan I wouldn't come either," McDougald said. "All we know is we're going to get things right and come back to work."

ETHAN PADWAY
When the Kansas men's basketball team tips off against Washington State in the CBE classic at 9 tonight, it will face — for the second time this season -- the challenge of guarding an opposing team with size in the front court.
epadway@kansan.com
The last time the Jayhaws experienced this was in Atlanta against Michigan State on Nov. 13, and the game was the team's first loss. While Washington State won't be as physical down low as the Spartans were, they will still play tough.
"Their standing height is real big, but they're all pretty skilled," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "They can all step away from the basket. Their wings are pretty big. They run an offense that's very similar to what Frank ran at K-State."
Senior center Jeff Withey has found it more difficult to score without Thomas Robinson with him in the paint. Opposing teams are now able to key in on him, and this elmi-
With Withey's talents better suited for the defensive side of the floor, the offense can't get away with the same strategy they had last season.
"Jeff is never going to be a guy you just throw it to and have him go get 20" Self said. "That's not who he is; that's not who he was last year. He's a guy that needs angles and make free throws and can get to the free throw line."
nates many easy baskets that Withey got down low last season.
But scoring hasn't come very easily to the young jayhawks, and at times, the offense has fallen stagnant.
"We're not getting anything out of
To jump-start the offense, Self wants his team to run the court more. However, the team is playing slower than it have in previous years.
By playing slow, the Jayhawks lose out on the chance to get easy fast-break baskets.
"Offensively, we're going a lot slower than in years past because so many new guys don't know the plays like the veterans, we can run them in our sleep," Withey said.

The team still has a long way to go, but by running the floor, it can begin to kick-start the offense.
And when the offense starts to flow, the team's chemistry will improve as a result.
"It showed the last game we played," sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe said. "If we run up and down like that, we get easy baskets. That's how we go on our runs, and I think we definitely need to play faster than how we've been playing."

Paul Achtley, a psychology professor, says that a new study shows that texting is more of a compulsion than an addiction among college students. Around 100 University students were surveyed for results.
TEXT ADDICT?
Research shows texting is a compulsion, not an addiction

"At certain points, I feel like I need to text someone," said Hilgers, a junior from San Diego. "It's not a want. It's a need to text anybody and no one in particular."
Warden, who assisted in conducting research, writing the program and analyzing the data, said that she personally does not feel compelled to text. Warden got involved with the two-year study partly because she views texting as bothersome.
"What we found is, people are willing to wait, but they aren't willing to wait that long." Atchley said. "I think this is because responding to a text doesn't make sense if too much time goes by. If you asked me a question and it takes me a day to get the answer to you, there's probably no purpose to me responding at that point. So, young adults feel like they need to respond quickly for it to be relevant."
"I feel like it takes away an innate personal interaction you can have with somebody." Warden said. "Over the years, I've felt social pressure to respond to texts from people."
Katllyn Hilgers said she's adduct ed to texting.

Paul Atchley, a psychology professor, recently completed a study to determine whether texting was addictive to college students. Atchley, who has done several other studies on texting, found that young adults are able to think about it rationally, and it is more of a compulsion than an addiction.
"People feel the need to text back quickly," Atchley said. "They receive a text, but they can withhold responding to that text if they really need to do so. It was a surprise, honestly. I thought wed find more evidence of addiction."

Atchley said that because people are able to make rational decisions about texting he thinks it is possible to change people's behaviors regarding texting and driving with educational messages.
"If it was truly an addiction, it would be far more difficult," he said. "I think that what we found so far is that young adults are largely aware of how risky it is to text and drive."
This is the case with Hilgers, who said she does not text while driving because it is unsafe. Instead, she asks a passenger to text for her.
The study was funded by the KU Transportation Research Institute, and was published in the current issue of the Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Coognition.
Atchley, who has studied driving for more than 25 years, said he would continue to conduct research on the topic.
"There is no worse example of how a distraction can kill you than texting and driving," he said.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little answers questions in her office about tenure, student senate and her plans for Thanksgiving on Monday afternoon.
Chancellor discusses post- tenure reviews

In her third discussion with The University Daily Kansan, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little discussed state funding, a post-fenure review initiative and faculty survey results.
POST-TENURE REVIEWS
At its December meeting, the Kansas Board of Regents will consider requiring universities to conduct performance reviews of tenured professors.
These post-tenure reviews would be conducted every five or seven years. People in the tenured professor's department would evaluate and assess his contributions, teaching, service and research.
"I think it could be a very helpful part of the way we look at faculty and how they're doing, making sure a person is progressing in terms of their career and staying on track," said Gray-Little.
If the Board of Regents approves, the post-tenure review requirement would be implemented in the spring of 2014. Gray-Little said the faculty senate began discussing the process of the reviews and submitted a statement about it.
"It looked as if the faculty were laking a positive approach," Gray-Little said. "I interpreted that statement as meaning it could have some benefits and the faculty wanted to make sure it was done In the right way."
FACULTY SURVEY
The results of a statewide faculty governance survey were announced last week, and the University took the second-to-last spot among other Board of Regents schools.
The American Association of University Professors conducted the survey, which asked faculty about how much voice they have in the governing of their institution. KU faculty who completed the survey graded it on an A-F scale.
"I'm surprised that our faculty feels that they don't have a voice in governance," Gray-Little said. "We have a very strong shared governance experience here involving faculty, staff and students."
Gray-Little said that the number of recent campus initiatives may have caused faculty members to have concerns with governance.
During a talk with the Kansas Board of Regents last week, Gov. Sam Brownback said there would be no spending increases for the higher education general fund, but additional money may be provided for specific projects.
"If we were, that would be really delightful news because that is very important, but I was not
“There's a certain amount of discomfort with change that I think anybody would feel,” she said. “A lot of things are going on right now, and maybe that makes it hard for people to feel they're in their comfort zone.”
STATE FUNDING
In the same talk with the Board of Regents, Brownback encouraged universities to focus on entrepreneurship. Gray-Little said the governor emphasizes entrepreneurship because the creation of entrepreneurs leads to the creation of businesses and jobs.
"It's something that we are very interested in and very involved in and have been for the last few years," Gray-Little said. "It's something we agree with and are doing."
shocked to hear him say that we would not be receiving more, but I can always be hopeful," Gray-Little said.
HOLIDAY PLANS
Thanksgiving break begins tomorrow. Gray-Little said she would be traveling out of town to a large family gathering.
"I won't be in Lawrence for Thanksgiving Day, and I won't have to cook," Gray-Little said. "I am one in a family of eight sisters and brothers. Seven or eight of us will be there, with assorted children and spouses and so on."
Gray-Little said her favorite part of the holiday is seeing her family, and that she plans to eat turkey with rice, a tradition in her home state of North Carolina.
Next week, the Chancellor's residence will be decorated for the winter holidays.

SHOPPING
Black Friday benefits could deceive shoppers

"Since I don't have a lot of money, I'm not going to waste it on Black Friday shopping," said Jenna Gannon, a junior from El Dorado. Instead of spending money on Christmas gifts, Gannon plans to make baked goods as her presents.
Masses of shoppers will lineup Thursday evening waiting for Black Friday sales, but some students plan on spending their post- Thanksgiving holiday avoiding the crowds.
And while buyers think they are getting large discounts, businesses tend to raise retail prices, making sales not as significant as they are advertised to be, said Greg Gao, a junior finance major from Shaanxi, China.
"Even though people are getting sales, they'll end up spending more money overall," Gao said.
Shoppers tend to overspend when they buy products on impulse simply because they think getting good deals, said William Lewis, personal finance professor.
"Black Friday is a good deal if you have self control and buy something you were going to buy anyway," Lewis said.
When shoppers put discounted items on their credit card, the interest charged on it can negate any savings incurred and sometimes cost more, Lewis added.
"Psychologically speaking, you think you're getting a good deal, but really businesses are getting the better deal," Luchen said.
Gina Galanou, a junior from Athens, Greece plans to go shopping with her family. She will likely wait until after the crowds have subsided in the afternoon, even if it means missing the early bird sales. To avoid overspending, Galanou intends to stick within her predetermined budget.
Despite the perceived economic
"When you think of economic growth, this is more of a curious tribal custom and doesn't get at the heart of whether you and I are going to be better off five or ten years from now." Bittingmayer said.
Although Michael Luchen, a senior from Overland Park, plans to take advantage of Apple's App Store sales offered Friday, he's not sold on the hype of Black Friday.
"I'm a very careful shopper," Galanou said. "I go out with what I want in mind, and if I find it at a good price, I will buy it."

boost, increasing inventory and hiring additional staff puts a strain on retailers on Black Friday, said George Bittlingmayer, finance professor. Though businesses will likely turn a profit from Black Friday sales, the benefits to the overall economy are unclear, Bittlingmayer said.

Education plan faces challenges
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's education agenda for next four years may look less like real reform and more like tying up loose ends, experts say, with practical budget issues and an age-old power struggle between Congress and the administration getting in the way.
Campaign-year aspirations for Obama's second term included closing the educational achievement gap and boosting college graduation rates to the highest in the world. But those lofty goals may have to wait, as lawmakers and Obama tackle a number of gritty funding-related issues that just can't wait.
First up is sequestration, the automatic, government-wide spending cuts set to knock out 8.2 percent of the funding to almost all of the Education Department's programs — unless Congress acts before the end of the year to avert the cuts.
Programs intended to reduce educational inequities will take a hit of $1.3 billion, according to the White House's Office of Management and Budget. Special education, already funded far below the levels Congress originally promised, will be slashed by more than $1 billion. Most of the reductions won't take effect until next fall, when the 2013-14 school year starts, but Impact Aid, which helps districts that lose revenue due to local tax-exempt federal property, would be cut immediately.
"Even Republicans understand that cutting education spending is not something that is popular with voters," said Michael Petrilli, a former Education Department official and executive vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a conservative education think tank.
Education advocates are optimistic a plan will be hashed out that will leave most major education programs relatively unscatted.
What comes next is less certain. The Education Department refused to comment on its agenda for the next four years, but Secretary Arne Duncan, who has said he would like to stay on for
Higher ed also comes with a delicate set of ticking time bombs. Student loan interest rates, capped at 3.4 percent for new subsidized
There's bipartisan agreement in Congress that the law should be fixed and reauthorized. "While the administration's efforts to grant waivers are helpful for states operating under the tenets of No Child Left Behind, these fixes are temporary and piecemeal." Tom Harkin, the Democrat who chairs the Senate committee responsible for education, said in an email.
Obama's second term, has hinted at the administration's focus. Petrilli and others closely watching the administration's signals on education say it's likely the focus will be on early childhood education and higher ed.
In Congress, both parties agree that college costs are spiraling out of control, but there's not much government can do to control that. What it can control is student aid, and the debate about federal loans raises a familiar disagreement about the role of government. In 2010, when Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress, the federal government cut banks out of the process and started administering all loans directly. Many Republicans favor restoring the private sector's role in issuing federally backed and subsidized loans.
Pre-kindergarten was a major focus for Obama in his first term, when he strengthened Head Start's accountability rules and expanded his Race to the Top program to include pre-K.
Stafford loans, are set to double July 1, the expiration date for a stopgap Congress passed last year. Pell Grants, the main source of federal aid for low-income students, face the same type of crisis as entitlements like Medicare and Social Security: a cost curve that's become difficult to contain as more people take part.
Lawmakers are more than half a decade overdue to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The Education Department has been copiously granting waivers to No Child Left Behind, the Bush-era iteration of the act, giving states flexibility with performance targets.
When it comes to K-12 education, the prospects increase for a tug of war between Obama and Congress.

But the Obama administration has shown little desire to put the policy back in lawmakers' hands. Duncan didn't mention reauthorization in a lengthy speech in October laying out his agenda.
"Waivers are not a pass on accountability, but a smarter, more focused and fair way to hold ourselves accountable," Duncan said in that speech.

Lawmakers are also eager to reclaim control of Race to the Top, the multibillion-dollar grant competition program Obama created in 2009 to prod states into changing laws and raising standards.

Rebels threaten city of Goma
JANUARY 1970
ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO
People flee as fighting erupts between the M23 rebels and Congolese army near the airport at Goma, Congo on Monday. Rebels believed to be backed by Rwanda fired mortars and machine guns in a village outside the provincial capital of Goma and threatened to attack the city protected by ragtag Congolese government troops backed by United Nations peacekeepers.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GOMA, Congo — Rebels believed to be backed by Rwanda fired mortars and machine guns Monday on the outskirts of the provincial capital of Goma, threatening to capture one of the largest cities in eastern Congo in a development that could drag this giant Central African nation back into war.
The gunfire and explosions erupted in the early afternoon, with shells landing as far away as the international airport and near a United Nations position, causing flights to be rerouted and prompting the United Nations to evacuate most of its employees, according to U.N. officials.
The violence erupted just hours after the M23 rebels said they were halting fighting to negotiate with the government of Congo. But government spokesman Lambert Mende told The Associated Press by phone that negotiations are out of the question, saying Congo will not give in to the "blackmail" of a Rwandan-backed group.
"We refuse to enter into negotiations with M23. Because it's Rwanda, not the M23, that is
responsible," said Mende. "If Goma falls, it's going to create a whole other set of problems. We refuse systematically to speak to them (M23). Because if we do, it would be a way to wash away Rwanda's responsibility."
Congo and Rwanda have already fought two wars, the most recent of
which ended in 2003 after lasting nearly six years. On Monday, both nations accused the other of firing mortars across the narrow border which runs on one side of Goma, a city of 1 million which is the economic heart of Congo's mineral rich region.
Gen. Joseph Nzabamwita said that Congolese shells had fallen on the Rwandan side, while Mende said that a mortar fired from Rwanda landed in the Biirer neighborhood near the airport in Goma and wounded at least five people.

Colombian rebel group announces cease-fire
HAVANA — The top negotiator for Colombia's main rebel group announced a unilateral cease-fire on Monday, before heading into much-anticipated peace talks with government counterparts in the Cuban capital of Havana.
Marquez said the move was "aimed at strengthening the climate of understanding necessary for the parties to start a dialogue."
Ivan Marquez said the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia would stop all military operations and acts of sabotage against government and private property starting at midnight Monday and running through Jan. 20.
There was no immediate response to the rebel overture from the government of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, and government negotiators in Havana also refused to comment before heading into a convention center where talks are being held.
But analysts said the move puts pressure on Colombia to reciprocate in some way. Santos has so far refused to
consider a cease-fire during the talks.
"What they just announced puts the rebels in the vanguard and is very, very important," said Piedad Cordoba, a former Colombian senator who has led past peace efforts and negotiated the release of several hostages held by the rebels. "The Christmas cease-fire wins (the rebels) credibility and legitimacy."

Israel launches air strike on Gaza Strip
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — With little notice, Israel has launched a blistering air offensive against the Gaza Strip's ruling Hamas militant group. Here's a look at why the violence erupted, the goals of the warring sides and how it may end:
Lightning Strike: Israel opened its offensive with a surprise airstrike on Nov. 14 that killed the shadowy leader of Hamas' military wing. Since then, it has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in what it says is a systematic campaign to halt years of rocket attacks launched from Gaza. While Isaiah claims to have inflicted heavy damage, dozens of rockets have continued to fly out of Gaza each day.
Why Now? Israel launched the operation in response to days of rocket attacks out of Gaza, highlighted by a rare missile strike on an Israeli military jeep that wounded
four soldiers. But the operation was actually years in the making. Since a previous Israeli offensive four years ago, Hamas has restocked its arsenal with more sophisticated and powerful weapons smuggled in from Egypt through underground tunnels. After a lull following Israel's previous offensive, rocket fire has steadily climbed the past two years. The Israeli military says more than 700 rockets were launched into Israel this year before it launched the offensive last week. In this environment, Israeli officials have said it was only a matter of time before a new round of fighting broke out.
The battlefield: Hamas seized control of Gaza, a densely populated strip of land sandwiched between southern Israel and Egypt's Sinai desert, five years ago from the rival Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

While this is a downer for the bad cooks like myself, it doesn't mean you have to suppress your holiday meal to a blackened bird or turkey-flavored Ramen noodles. Lawrence still has plenty going on for those who can't go home.
combined cooking skills of you and your friends can't live up to what your grandmother's preparing two states over, leave the cooking to a professional. Grocery stores around town have plenty of affordable Thanksgiving Day packages that are sure to please everyone. Dillons has a dinner for around $40 that feeds six to eight people, so get a few pals to pitch in and enjoy food that doesn't taste like burnt plastic. Or just splurge for it by yourself and eat leftovers like a king for a week. Considering the fact that turkeys alone cost a pretty penny and take hours to cook, pre-made meals are worth it.

Thanksgiving may leave you bloated, but the turkey hangover that ensues will let you rest up for the next-morning madness that is Black Friday. Winter holiday shopping is about to kick into full swing and if you're looking to get presents at a ridiculously low price, it's no mystery that waking up at the crack of dawn and sitting outside Wal-Mart will help you to be successful. But for those like me who find it hard to get up before the sales end, Lawrence's Bizarre Bazaar
opens Friday and runs from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Lawrence Arts Center event hosts 140 artists selling their unique art pieces, so for more of a personal gift, this is your stop. There will also be musical performances and food available.
Friday night is the official holiday lighting and "Santa Rescue" downtown. Anyone who has been in Lawrence in December knows that the lights and decorations bring
out the winter spirit in all, so join the city at 5:30 p.m. to celebrate. A long-standing Lawrence tradition, Santa needs help getting down from Weaver's Department store. Once he gets down, he'll be taking gift requests from kids of all ages. I've got my hopes set on a college diploma; that or a Red Ryder BB gun.
If nothing else, just rest up for the break. We've got nearly a week off and whether it spent at home

DON'T SCRATCH YOUR VINYI
Hipsters love indie records
EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com
Nowhere is exempt from indie's clutches, Ironic T-shirt wearers are no longer contained to Java Break and record shops. Soundtracks at every store from The Dusty Bookshelf to Gap are increasingly obscure, Slouchy caps and skinny jeans have contaminated American culture at large.
The insufferable hipster is now ingrained in pop culture. What's surprising — offensive, even — is the blurring line between indie and mainstream music.
More than a few eyebrows are being raised as fun. beats T-Swift and Ke$ha out on a Billboard Top 40 DJ's playlist. Now, The Lumineers are joining Gotye in line, hoping to cross from a fringe one-hit-wonder list to trendiness reserved for beloved bands like Death Cab for Cutie.
Indie is in. Urban Outfitters caught on. So did the music industry.
The major record labels are realizing that there's something marketable about creativity.
Originally, "indie" stood for independent — music not published by the major record labels. Indie bands were free from the demands of Sony or Warner Music. Indie musicians could write and play without having to follow Katy Perry and Justin Bieber's formula for creating a hit song.
Naturally, indie has an air of elitism. There's a counter-profit ideal that views music as an art as self-expression rather than as a source of revenue.
There's a certain patience required — a tolerance for nasal, metaphoral lyrics sung just offkey enough to make a singer distinct. While I can recite Why's "Alopecia" by heart, there's no denying that Yoni Wolf doesn't sing as much as he speaks, raps, and whines. I was enchanted by Neutral Milk Hotel's magically illogical "In the Aeroplane Over
Like for most tragically misunderstood teenagers, my musical taste was largely formed through trying to impress fellow tragically misunderstood teenagers. Indie music isn't a preference, it's a lifestyle choice.
the Sea," but it's hard to imagine an album that at one point uses a hand saw as an instrument appealing to the masses.
However, indie has become palatable, even desirable. The Internet and the media allowed original, creative indie music to spread. To the surprise of music enthusiasts and review sites like Pitchfork, Arcade Fire won the 2011 Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
Suddenly, Arcade Fire seemed to be on the playlist of people who may never have otherwise embraced indie music. And that's progress. I, too, spent that summer driving around my home-town listening to The Suburbs.
I hope indie musicians and style infect mainstream culture. Let Top 40 radio listeners be exposed to something more experimental. Hopefully, pop music will become a little less repetitive, a little less vapid. Maybe the mainstream will learn to embrace music as an art rather than a product to be sold.

TELEVISION ALTERNATIVES
Netflix and HBO Go gain ground
Since the emergence of YouTube, digital media has made the slow crawl from an experience exclusively on the computer to one almost anyone can enjoy from their living room. Entertainment technology continues to develop rapidly, and with a greater access to high-speed internet, people are finding better ways to consume media. With so many services available for streaming and downloading, the problem is no longer about finding content but deciding which service is the best.
DANE VEDDER
Remember when the best television shows aired regularly on prime-time cable? It was not too long ago that people planned their weekly schedules around the air time of "Friends" or "The Simpsons."
dvedder@kansan.com
Anyone who has picked up a piece of technology in the last decade can tell you that the media behemoth, Netflix, has become the most successful and affordable subscription streaming service in the world. With over 30 million members who pay $8 monthly for unlimited content, Netflix has
shamed the company's competitors and dominated the industry since its arrival in 2000. However, there are a few minor drawbacks.
Choosing the "Watch Instantly," or streaming option, members have access to around 1,500 movies and TV series that are constantly being added and updated. Some might consider their search for accessible television complete, but what about their favorite shows that aren't offered on Netflix? For example, episodes from the widely popular "Dexter" and "Callification" were yanked from Netflix with the advent of Showtime Anytime, its own media streaming model.
Several other networks have followed suit. HBO, for instance, only offers streaming content to subscribers of HBO Go, a collection of original series, movies, comedy specials, documentaries, and sports. Rachel McCall, a senior from Shawnee Mission, said that she subscribed to HBO Go to keep up with her favorite shows, "Game of Thrones" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
"I still am subscribed to Netflix, but they don't offer a lot of the series I want to watch, so I had to
compromise," McCall said.
Unlike Netflix, HBO Go is available with major cable providers like Time Warner, Comcast, and AT&T U-verse and as an app for iOS and Android devices. The major difference lies in HBO's decision to update new episodes the second they are aired, whereas an entire season of a series will not be available to stream on Netflix until its subsequent season has begun.
People who habitually watch several hours of TV each week will benefit from subscription to several of these different streaming services, but for those on a limited student budget, a choice must be made. For those on a limited student budget, who are interested in an affordable, diverse selection of media, Netflix will certainly not disappoint.
Those who find themselves drawn to shows on a specific network, outlets like HBO Go or Showtime Anytime will provide the highest quality and up-to-date content.

Reconnecting with my Mexican roots
Long before I learned the advantages of being white, I spoke my very first word in Spanish. It was "bola," meaning ball. I had pretty much the same scope of interests as any little boy, but I had a different way of voicing it.
My mom was born in Mexico and always stressed the importance of staying connected to her roots. Her pride was reflected on our home, plastered with Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo prints over vibrantly colored walls. Every couch was adorned with a Mexican blanket and the house was filled with the scent of Mom's traditional cooking. I even got double the bedtime stories because Mom could read "El Cuento de Ferdinando" just as easily as she could read "Goodnight Moon."
It was intimidating when I entered preschool and found English to be the primary language. I was so shy that I barely spoke at all. I missed the comfort of my mom's language, with her gently trilled Rs and the musical
tone of her voice. But over time, I came to realize that English was the superior language. That's just the way we speak in America.
The inevitable happened after I bit the apple from the tree of knowledge and suddenly became conscious of my darker skin. I stopped calling her "Mama" and started calling her "Mom." I didn't want to be a minority, I wanted to be like everyone else. And when we moved to Prairie Village, everyone else was white. So I learned shame. I hated when my mom would speak Spanish in front of my friends and I hated explaining why we had an embarrassing Diego Rivera print of a nude woman embracing a bundle of hay in my living room. I hated my hair for being so black and I even used a special shampoo that claimed it would bring the "brunette" undertones out from my scalp. It didn't. And in Spanish class, I would intentionally butcher the pronunciations of my own language, just so it wouldn't be so
By Will Webber
wwebber@kansan.com
It wasn't a good thing to be Mexican. My friends would joke that I'd make a great lawn mower or janitor or housekeeper, because that's seemingly all a Mexican could ever aspire to. I wanted to prove them wrong so badly, but I couldn't think of a single Latino who was famous for anything other than hitting a baseball or singing crude, Spanglish club hits.
I never felt proud of my ethnicity, but I eventually learned to accept it. In my junior year of high school, I wrote a column denouncing Arizona's SB1070 - a harsh immigration law that gave police officers the right to ask
obvious.
"suspicious" looking people for their documents. I was finally sticking up for my race, but I mostly hated the law because it meant that people would associate someone like me with "illegals."
I've written many more political columns since that first one, but little progress has been made. I still find myself on the receiving end of casual racism. I don't hate my black hair and dark skin anymore – I hate being told that I'm only getting scholarship money because I'm Mexican. Because I only scored in the top one percent on my tests nationally, but scored in the top tenth of a percent amongst Mexicans. I get it: I'm not good enough to win the top prize amongst all students, but I'm pretty smart for a Mexican. Well I'm fed up with it – we all are.
There was no box for me on the voter registration form. I am half Mexican, half white. However, my options were: Hispanic (Not White), White (Not Hispanic) and Two or more
races (Not Hispanic).
So I made my decision and checked the hell out of that first box. 72 percent of Latinos voted for President Obama and for perhaps the first time ever, I wasn't ashamed to be a part of that number. I was proud. We are no longer second-class citizens. We helped decide this election and we just may decide the next few. But we have a few expectations. We want immigration reform and we demand to be treated like human beings, just like everyone else. You see, I don't believe that being Latino and being American are mutually exclusive. All of our voices must be heard.
I spoke my first words in Spanish and you can be damn sure they won't be my last.

RELATIONSHIPS
First impressions still materialistic
Last Tuesday I coaxed one of my best friends into attending Daniel Packard's Group Sex Therapy discussion at the Kansas union. The discussion seemed like a dating seminar laden with crude jokes, but something Packard said at the very beginning of the talk stuck with me for the rest of discussion.
With the audience divided by gender on either side of a strip of tape, he told the guys that a man's clothing choice is one of the first things a woman notices about him. He then told them as an anecdote that women don't want guys to wear skater clothes unless they actually skate, to which the women replied with a collective applause.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
I was relieved to hear that sentiment coming from a member of the XY community, and it was clear that most of the women in attendance thought it was funny. But here, Packard was right. Material factors may be considered mundane by many in dating, but when two people first meet, shoes, hair and even the pitch of someone's voice have the power to begin to bring two people together (or, of course, send them scrambling for an excuse to end the conversation).
When people are asked what they notice first about others they're attracted to, many give cliché responses like a good smile, their eyes, etc. But something else that women in particular tend to notice is someone's shoes. The eyes may be the window to the soul, but a person's shoes are a great indicator of the care he puts not only into his outfit but also the rest of his presentation. Here, guys in particular are advised not to wear grungy Nikes with nice jeans on a night out.
Next, women tend to notice wrist watches. It's unrealistic to expect an average college student to sport a Rolex, but if a potential is wearing a watch with Mickey Mouse or a calculator on it, ladies should steer clear. Watches that resemble the ones you wore in the late '90s speak volumes about maturity and suggest that a relationship will likely feel like a babysitting gig. Students can easily fake nice watches by checking out the selection at Target or Kohl's or simply going without to dodge the issue.
According to national radio host and author John Tesh, women care about tipping when it comes to paying the bill on a date. He said that the overall cost of the bill didn't make a difference. 82 percent of women surveyed said that they'd ditch a new beau over bad tipping practices. Money matters may seem to be as materialistic as it gets, but if someone is stingy with tips, his investment in his significant other may follow suit.
Meanwhile, while men notice many of the same elements that women do upon meeting someone new, science directs them to evaluate factors sometimes as specific as the pitch of a woman's voice. According to Cosmopolitan magazine, men tend to be more attracted to women with higher-pitched voices because a high pitch is tell-tale
sign of youth and reproductive potential. This may be subconscious, but it runs rampant on the dating scene.
Also, men tend to know what's fake about women from the get- go, and not just a fake smile or pretending to be interested in a topic. They notice fake eyelashes, nails, and more, which screams high maintenance. If men think potential partners are too difficult to please, they likely won't even try.
And finally, again according to Cosmo, men also tend to subconsciously notice how much a woman's skin glows. Recent scientific research suggests skins' glow correlates with mental health. The healthier skin looks, the more mentally stable people tend to be. Like fake nails, eyelashes, breasts, or whatever, the lack of mental stability is an indicator that the person is high maintenance and needy.
While what men and women want still remains at least partly unanswerable, students can know that speakers like Packard and scientists are working to debunk the never-ending question. Students shouldn't fake certain features about themselves for the sake of finding a partner to avoid an embarrassing slip up later, but they should still keep them in mind anyway.
Dating many not inevitably come down to factors like these, but when we're looking to start something new, not being mindful of the science of getting a relationship off the ground can keep us from landing something later.

'Crazy' professors improve lectures
Most professors that teach core classes are going to be well-known. But the ones at the University are well-known besides the fact that many people take their classes. Fake twitter accounts for Jeff Lang, David Holmes and Craig Martin all exist. These professors may be a bit different, goofy, and possibly crazy, but they are all very knowledgeable about the subjects they teach and do a great job of keeping students interested.
Recently, a student in Lang's calculus class drew a weird and crazy picture of Lang. The student next to him took a picture of it and posted it to Reddit.
It hit the front page, and soon many people on the thread were talking about Lang and his antics. Personally, I have never had Lang as a teacher but upon talking to people who have had him, I heard many positive and funny stories about him. He loves to be enthusiastic with everything he demonstrates for the class. For example, "kill the radical!" He is a favorite among students. Sometimes he notices the class is really apathetic to the lesson, so he will let everyone out five minutes early because "you all need a Gatorade."
Many professors have interesting background and quirks about them that not many people would guess. One thing about Lang that not many people may know about him is that he is a devout Muslim. After being atheist for most of his life, he converted. He speaks about his religion, has published four memoirs of his conversion and even has a few YouTube videos.
UDK
Another popular professor is Intro to Psychology professor, David Holmes. Although talking about sex is very important in psychology, he seems to integrate it into almost everything. Hence his Twitter account, which basically focuses on what he had said
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
about sex. He is also pretty feisty in class and will call someone out if they leave early. Holmes wrote his own psychology book, and is very knowledgeable about the subject. Many people say that his quirkiness makes the class more interesting although the tests are hard.
Craig Martin, also known as "Crazy Craig Martin", is another well-known professor. He gets off topic many times and his class is known to be entertaining. He is also notorious for very difficult tests. Lecture material seems easy, but when it comes to test time, it proves to be a little bit different. Students who took his class said that if you attend help sessions and review the material, it will be a little bit easier. And although he may get off topic quite a bit, attend his lectures for important material.
How do you feel about the end of the downtown staple Milton's?

Tweet us your opinions, and we just might publish them.
Although these are just the basic professors, each department will have their own most talked about professor. As journalism major, I'm sure others can agree that it would be Kerry Benson for her crazy, no-nonsense-allowed personality.
Although these teachers may seem totally crazy, they are very knowledgeable and can teach you many lessons, like Professor Benson. If nothing can be learned from them and they seem impossible, at least you have an entertaining class to go to.

University plans cellphone charging stations
VIKAAS SHANKER
vshanker@kansan.com
Andrew Lee, a senior in psychology, entered his fall 2012 class schedule into his cellphone at the start of the semester. But when he checked his schedule on the first day of school, his phone's screen was black and the battery dead.
"I ran back to Watson and checked my schedule," said Lee, who arrived late to class.
It's a scenario no student wants to experience and one the Information Technology (IT) department and student leaders hope to resolve by installing cellphone charging stations across campus during winter break.
Student body president Hannah Bolton and vice president Brandon Woodard polled student interest in charging stations prior to April's
election. Since then, they have been working with the IT department to determine the best way to give the University community stop-and-go charging stations.
"So many people live off campus and need to charge their phones," Bolton said. "Students brought up the idea."
Bolton said there will be about 30 stations located in high-traffic areas throughout campus.
"This is something Hannah and Brandon brought to us," said Ann Ermey, IT's director of service management and delivery. "Each year KU IT works with Student Senate to make sure technology is helping students and helping meet their goals. We thought it sounded like a really good plan."
GOING SMALL
Companies across the country are developing many types of phone charging stations. Some are full kiosks and some come with cell phone lockers so students can leave their phones to charge. According to Ermey, the leading candidate for the University's project is KwikBoost, a Dallas-based company that supplies stations to more than 200 other universities, including three Big 12 schools.
The charging station wall mount has nine charger cords, including iPhone, universal micro and mini-USB compatibilities. It would also have a small platform for people to place their phones while charging.
Joe Mecca, the president and co-founder of Kwikboost, said KwikBoost is designed for college settings.
"Other options are expensive, big and bulky and you consume more power," Mecca said. "Were
the leading company by a longshot Our stations are energy-efficient
The University of Florida considered installing KwikBoost chargers last spring but Florida Student Senate president Christina Bonarrigo said students preferred charging kiosks produced by Georgia-based Charge N Go.
"KwikBoost are wall mounts" Bonarrigo said. "We wanted a self-standing kiosk because cords can be easily ripped. We didn't know if departments would be willing drill into their walls for the stations."
At a cost of $27,000 for six kiosks,
Bonarrigo the kiosks have been popular among students.
NO STUDENT COST
While most platform items require a Student Senate vote or recommendation, the cellphone charging stations don't because
students won't absorb the costs. Bolton, Woodard and IT have already recommended KwikBoost for the project. IT will pay for the estimated $9,000 KwikBoost project through a special projects fund.
Bolton and Ermey both said they like KwikBoost because it is a reliable, cheap option. A pack of 10 can cost $2,300, while one kiosk from another vendor may cost more than $1,000.
STUDENT INTEREST
Warner Cook, a senior in architectural studies, said as long as seating is close to the station, she would charge her phone in between classes.
"I'm on campus 13 hours on Tuesdays and I get dropped off and picked up," Cook said. "I had to wait around once because my
phone died after class at 8:30 at night and I couldn't call my ride. It was pretty annoying. It's frustrating sitting there for 15 minutes anxious."
While she often brings her charger to campus, Cook said she would still use the stations.
"It's nice to hear that it wouldn't be coming out of student fees," Cook said.
Lee often uses his car charger, but also said he and others would probably use the campus charging stations.
"If you have very, very long classes and near the end of a long day, I could see people charging," Lee said. "People are always on the go and don't trust their phones."

Hudson River Rafting Co. licensed despite deaths
NATIONAL
ALBANY, N.Y. — New York kept the owner of Hudson River Rafting Co. on its list of 5,200 licensed outdoor guides, despite two charges against him of reckless endangerment and a dozen other tickets citing his guides with unlicensed whitewater trips over the past five years.
That's because New York — unlike many states, the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service — regulates the guides themselves, not the companies. That focus, critics say, allows companies to continue operating even when their guides have endangered any of the thousands of outdoors-lovers who engage their services.
In addition, New York rarely revokes the licenses of guides.
In one deadly case this fall, a Columbus, Ohio woman drowned on one of the company's Adirondack whitewater trips headed by licensed guide Rory Fay, 37. Fay was charged with criminally negligent homicide, accused of rafting drunk when he and client Tamara Blake, 53, were thrown into the rapids of the Indian River on Sept. 27. Her boyfriend was also on the boat.

FACT OF THE DAY
The Detroit Lions have lost eight straight Thanksgiving Day games with their last win coming in 2003 against the Green Bay Packers.
Q: The Dallas Cowboys have played the Washington Redskins five times on Thanksgiving Day. What is their record in those games?

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
www.footbailreference.com
A: 5-0
My family always likes to make Thanksgiving Day a quality celebration. Whether it's going to the family farm or seeing the Plaza Lighting ceremony, we've found reason to gather around the table, overeat and enjoy each others company. But in the same way pumpkin pie is a turkey day necessity, so is football. Food-coma naps and group activities are planned around the games, as the interruption of football watching has become an unthinkable act in the Long household.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
The history of Thanksgiving Day games dates back to 1920, the year the league was founded, and teams often wear throwback uniforms for the occasion. Here is a quick preview of the three NFL games on this year's Thanksgiving Day slate.
HOUSTON TEXANS AT DETROIT LIONS 11:30 A.M. CBS
On paper, this matchup looks to be lopsided, but it could be interesting. Detroit has a history of playing Thanksgiving Day games, having played the most Thanksgiving
games and tallying 33 wins, while the Texans will be playing in their first Turkey Day game. Although the Texans have been winning of late, their performances have lacked the luster that they had earlier in the season. Houston needed overtime to beat a spiraling Jacksonville squad without its starting quarterback, Blaine Gabbert. Though Detroit comes into the game with a record of 4-6, their losses have come at an average of just more than six points per game. Expect Ford Field in Detroit to be rocking for this one.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS AT DALLAS
COWBOYS - 3:15P.M. FOX
Naturally, Jerry Jones would find a way to land a Thanksgiving game annually in the football palace that is Cowboys Stadium. However, this particular matchup is intriguing in the increasingly competitive NFC East. If Robert Griffin III can pull off a win, the Redskins can climb to within a game and a half of the division lead. RGIII has led a big turnaround in the capital city, and a prime-time game for the rookie quarterback could be a major stepping stone to playoff contention. The Redskins will come into the game hot off a 31-6 win against Philadelphia while Dallas is coming off a win as well in overtime against the Cleveland Browns.
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS AT NEW YORK
JETS - 7-20 P.M. NBC
KU
The evening matchup provides a heated rivalry of AFC East teams. Jets head coach Rex Ryan has a history of running his mouth, including promising wins over the Patriots in the past. These two teams have exchanged physical battles the past few seasons, with the Patriots winning the most
recent matchup in overtime in Foxboro on Week 7. The Patriots can all but secure the division title with a win, but the Jets have a notorious past for playing spoiler. Anticipate a hard-hitting, close contest between these two teams in the prime-time game. If the Jets can find a way to put up a few points, this one could be a great game.

K-State loss shakes up Big 12 BCS bids
ASSOCIATED PRESS
If college football fans think the BCS picture got all shook up with those losses by Kansas State and Oregon, they might want to look at the potential chaos in the Big 12.
Kansas State could still win the league, but the Wildcats' 52-24 loss at Baylor on Saturday set up the possibility for a four-way tie. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Texas could all sit at 7-2 at the end of the regular season Dec. 1.
If that happens, all would get a trophy declaring their Big 12
championship. But there would have to be some tiebreaker work done to determine who would get the league's BCS berth in the Fiesta Bowl, if not in the championship game.
For the quartet to finish 7-2, the 16th-ranked Longhorns would have to beat TCU and then win at Kansas State, while No. 21 Oklahoma State would have to win the Bedlam game in Norman, Okla., and prevail at Baylor. Also, the No. 13 Sooners would have to win at TCU.
Head-to-head records would then decide which school gets a BCS Berth.
Just last week, Kansas State had a clear path to the national title game, ranked No. 1 in the BCS standings. The Wildcats dropped five spots to sixth in the rankings after losing to a Baylor team still trying to become bowl eligible.
There's also a possibility for a three-way tie similar to 2008 when Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas each finished 7-1 in Big 12 and 11-1 in regular season. This year it could be the Wildcats, Longhorns or Sooners in a three-way tie, or the Wildcats, Longhorns and Cowboys.
All the math becomes moot if Kansas State beats Texas to close
the regular season.
With that, the only team that could match K-State's 1-0 confer
ence record would be Oklahoma, which lost to the Wildcats in the Big 12 opener Sept. 22. In that case, the Wildcats would get the Big 12's BCS berth
The Longhorns play on Thanksgiving against a Horned
Frogs team that's 3-1 on the road in conference play.
"All of our focus will be on TCU." Longhorns coach Mack
focus will be
MACK BROWN
Texas Longhorns coach
Brown said Monday. "This is a very important game for us and key game for us to finish strong."
Should the Sooners come out on top in their last two games, their
fans would then be in the awkward position of pulling for the Longhorns to win at Kansas State.
"We're not there yet," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said of the odd scenario.
Kansas State has two weeks to prepare to host the Longhorns, who Wildcats coach Bill Snyder called a "tremendously talented" team. The break will be welcome to his players and their bodies.
But, "feeling sorry" for themselves isn't an option for his players, he said, and there is a downside, he said.
"That's two weeks having to live with the loss in Waec," Snyder said.

Big 12 rankings; K-State still leads after loss
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN

C
1. Kansas State (10-1)
Kansas State fans dreamed of seeing Collin Klein win the Heisman and the Wildcats in the BCS Championship game. However, a loss to Baylor kicked Kansas State out of the top five in the BCS poll. Now, Kansas State can only focus on winning the Big 12 at home against Texas.
Q
2. Oklahoma (8-2)
After a close win against West Virginia, Oklahoma keeps its second place spot. After Kansas State lost this past weekend, the Sooners have a chance to win the conference, but will need to win out and have Kansas State lose again.
3. Texas (8-2)
Texas dominated their last game against Iowa State to stay in the top tier of the Big 12. Coach Mack Brown is pleased with his team's performance this season. Quarter back David Ash has played well lately, throwing five touchdowns and no interceptions in the last two weeks.
Oklahoma State has surprisingly played well with quarterback Clint Chelf at quarterback the past couple of games. The Cowboys will visit the Sooners this weekend and should they win, there could be a three-way tie for second place in the Big 12.
4. Oklahoma State (7-3)
OKLAHOMA
STATE
UNIVERSITY
5. Texas Tech (7-4)
T
Ranked teams in the Big 12 have gotten the best of Texas Tech. The Red Raiders have lost three of their last four games, with all three losses coming against ranked teams. They have an opportunity to finish strong with a win over Baylor, but a loss could land them in a less-prestigious bowl game.
TCU
HORNED FROGS
6. Texas Christian (6-4)
Texas Christian needed this bye week as it is halfway through a tough four-game stretch. The final two games of the season will test the Horned Frogs and decide what bowl game they will play in coach Gary Patterson would like to finish the season strong in TCU's first year in the Big 12.
WV
7. West Virginia (5-5)
West Virginia kicked off the season with a 5-0 record, only to turn around and lose five straight games and join the bottom half of the Big 12. With the talent the Mountaineers have, they've been disappointed with how their season has gone.
8. Baylor (5-5)
BAYLOR
BEARS
Baylor's had a lot of problems within the conference this season, but a win over top ranked Kansas State gave the Bears some bragging rights. But more importantly, Baylor has a 5-5 record and have a chance to become bowl eligible.
STATE
9. Iowa State (6-5)
Iowa State's had a hard time finding wins in the Big 12. But the Cyclones took advantage of Kansas' woes and produced its best scoring output this season under Sam Richardson, third string quarterback.
KU
10. Kansas (1-10)
Kansas coach Charlie Weis wanted to send the seniors out on a good note, but the Jayhawks could not stop a determined Cyclones team and lost their 20th straight game in the conference.

Volleyball moves to Allen Fieldhouse tonight in game against Saint Louis
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
The Jayhawks have two matches remaining in the regular season.
The Kansas volleyball team heads next door to play at Allen Fieldhouse tonight with hopes that this won't be the last time it plays on the basketball court this season.
and both are at home. Tonight, they play Saint Louis at the Fieldhouse, and they host Texas Tech on Saturday. On Sunday, the NCAA
ANSIE
Mathieu
will announce the 64 teams that will be competing in the NCAA Tournament, and Kansas may get to be a host site for the first two rounds of matches. The Jayhawks have a 23-6 record and No. 6 in the Ratings Percentage Index.
"Horesi is our home, but I'm really excited to play in Allen especially if — fingers crossed — we get to host the tournament, that's where we'll be playing," junior
defensive specialist faime Mathieu said. "So it'll be nice to get some experience in there. It'll just be a different look. It's still on campus. I'm excited."
Other Big 12 teams like Iowa State, Baylor and West Virginia play every home volleyball match in basketball facilities, so Kansas has experience playing in larger arenas. The team practiced in the Fieldhouse Monday and Tuesday to adjust to the change in depth perception.
"I know it's kind of rough for our setters sometimes just because the ball moves differently, but all around if we prepare well enough we'll be fine," Mathieu said.
Coach Ray Bechard said the Jayhawks would sacrifice the intimacy that the 1,300-seat Horejsi brings. However, playing in the
16,300-seat fieldhouse gives Kansas the opportunity to play in a setting it could see if it advances deep into the tournament.
Kansas normally doesn't play nonconference matches this late in the season, but Bechard said he wanted to establish a series with Saint Louis because it is a Midwest program coached by former national team assistant coach Kent Miller.
"We tried to find a date that would work and our schedule and their schedule just didn't allow for anything until this late," Bechard said. "We just want to get a home and home going with SLU. I respect Coach Miller, their coach, a great deal."
"It won't be as intimate, there's no doubt about that," Bechard said.
"There won't be the same feel but there'll be a good feel to it. It comes down to us playing well and putting a good product out there and get the fans that are there excited about what they're seeing... This is the right thing to do for a lot of different reasons."
The Billikens enter the match with a 10-19 record and a 4-10 mark in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Just
like Kansas, Saint Louis has four players averaging at least two kills per set. Their leader in kills per set, redshirt sophomore outside hitter Lauren Baumet, averages 2.49 kills per set while Kansas redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc averages 3.61 kills per set.
Senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefle said Kansas would work on its efficiency against Saint Louis with its blocking and digging. The Jayhawks haven't recorded many blocks in the last two matches against TCU and Oklahoma, but the front row has gotten touches on many of its opponents' attacks, which slows the ball down for the passers. Tolefle said Kansas could improve its blocking by working on its releases. She said clean defensive releases and solid blocks are among the skills the team can focus on during the game.
"I think it's a good chance to work on some things that we need to and try and be more efficient," Tolefree said.

Kansas finishes season in Topeka and Houston

The Kansas swimmers completed their fall season on Sunday with a second-place finish at the Kansas Classic in Topeka.
Kansas finished just behind first place Notre Dame with 853.5 points, while the Fighting Irish totaled 976.5 points for the championship.
Coach Clark Campbell said he's excited about how the team performed at the meet.
"We had some ups and downs, but what I really liked was when we had a down, the girls were resilient and they bounced back," Campbell said in a Kansas Athletics press release. "That is what a championship meet is all about. We still have some things to work on, but we are in a really good place right now."
The top performers for Kansas were freshman Bryce Hinde and junior Alison Lusk, who finished second and third in the 200-yard breaststroke. Other impact performers were freshman Haley Molden who finished second in the 100-yard freestyle, and sophomore Deanna Marks, who finished
second in the 200-yard butterfly.
Campbell said he sees this meet as something that was beneficial to all parties involved.
"The event has been very well received by the coaches and the teams and people have had a lot of fun with it," Campbell said in a KU Athletics press release. "It is a really good format and I just can't thank the people within the city of Topeka and all the people that have put this together. It has been a lot of work, but so far, so good."
The Kansas divers also concluded their fall season on Saturday after the third and final day of the Phil Hansel Invite in Houston, Texas.

Two Kansas divers, senior Christy Cash and junior Alyssa Golden, placed 20th and 33rd out of the 43 divers who competed in the event.

Indiana pulls away late in 66-53 victory over Georgia
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Indiana's shots weren't falling and the top-ranked Hoosiers were getting a taste of their own medicine with some tough man-to-man defense from Georgia.
Jordan Hulls and Christian Watford both had 14 points for the Hoosiers (4-0) and they were the ones who finally started hitting from long range as Indiana established control of the game.
It was just a matter of waiting,
according to coach Tom Cream.
"We had a lot of energy sources tonight," Crean said. "Vic at the start of the second half, he was tremendous. He's one of the best defenders around no question, but he doesn't get the credit for being a total basketball player. ... When he's flying up the court he makes us a lot better."
Then there are the missed shots. "We just missed some shots. The thing that hurt us more was the eight turnovers. We could never get the pace going the way we wanted and give Georgia credit for that," Crean said. "There weren't many

the Progressive Legends Classic at
the Barclays Center.
shots wed take back, just a couple. It happens at home, on the road, here. It just happens."
Hulls hit 3s on consecutive possessions to make it 51-42 and Oladipo scored down low with 7:00 left for the first double-digit lead of the game by either team, 53-42. The Hoosiers went on to lead by as many as 17 points.
The Hoosiers, who came into the game shooting 39.4 percent from 3-point range missed 11 of the first 12 shots they took from behind the arc. Watford hit a 3 with 10:06 left to end the shooting slump and extended Indiana's lead to 45-40.
"We did a lot more in the second half" Hulls said. "In the first half the shots weren't falling and that's going to happen. We play with more intensity when the shots aren't falling and that usually means we're playing good defense.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Vincent Williams both had 14 points for Georgia (1-3), which lost its third straight.
The Hoosiers will face Georgetown for the title on Tuesday night. The Hoyas beat No. 11 UCLA 78-70.
"That was a very hard fought game, one we thought we could win and the real difference, I thought, was their experience really started to show." Georgia coach Mark Fox
said. "We had a lot of inexperience plays, several possessions where we didn't keep our poise and they capitalized on some immature mistakes we made in the second half."
Indiana finished 5 of 16 from 3-point range (31.3 percent) and the Hoosiers had a 40-24 advantage on the boards. They overcame an off night by 7-foot preseason All-America Cody Zeller who was 2 for 4 from the field for six points and had four rebounds and four turnovers.
Zeller was limited to 9 minutes in the first half because of foul trouble.
"They came out and defended very well," Zeller said. "The foul problems could have taken me out of the flow a little bit, but in the second half we started to play the way we do."
Indiana shot 44.9 percent overall (22 of 49) while Georgia shot 34.0 percent (22 of 49) including going 9 of 25 on 3s.

"We started slow out of the gate this season and played very poorly," Fox said. "For 30 minutes tonight we looked like the team we thought we could be but we just couldn't make it last all game. The key is to learn to play 40 minutes, not 30 and that is the next step for our group."
The Bulldogs are 0-14 all-time against No. 1-ranked teams.

Releford surprises with scoring outbreak
MAX GOODWIN
Kansas City, Mo. — The passes were crisp, the defense was stifling and the shots were falling for Kansas as the Jayhawks played their way to a dominating win over Washington State at the Sprint Center.
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Kansas shot 64 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range in the first half. The Jayhawks looked like a team that could be favored to win their conference this season. Even senior guard Travis Releford drained a three, ending his slump of eleven straight misses in the previous three games.
Releford reemerged as a scoring threat last night in the Sprint Center, playing mere miles from his home in Kansas City. Mo. With 17 points, he led the team in scoring for the first time this season.
In the second half, another deep shot from Releford's hands swished through the net. Releford's inability to consistently make jump shots has been a subject of discussion during his career at Kansas. On
The Jayhawks won't consistently expect those points from Releford, which makes them even sweeter when they are there. This was not the first time in a Kansas game that Releford proved he has the ability to score. Last season, he was named the Big 12 player of the week when he averaged 22 points in two conference games. Releford also led the Jayhawks in scoring with 15 points against Ohio State during the Final Four last year.
Monday night, there was nothing about Releford's stroke that worried Kansas fans.
Releford sat smiling on the sidelines for the final minutes of the game, his team leading by 40 points. In his 23 minutes on the court, Releford scored 17 points from seven shots.
It may have been the comfort of playing in his hometown, or maybe it was Releford's determination to be more efficient than he was during the Chattanooga game where he squandered six shots to score just two points. Whatever the case, Releford played confidently and aggressively.
Defense has been a consistent strength for Releford. He played with more defensive intensity in just four games this year than he did in any of his past three seasons. Against Chattanooga, Releford's pressure on the ball was a spark for Kansas' second half run. On Monday, he did it on the offensive end.
There may not be many more games this season where Releford leads the team in scoring, but he has proven his value so far this season. He will bring tough defensive pressure every time he guards the ball. It appears he has once again proven that his scoring ability can surprise opponents who focus their game planning for McLemore, Johnson or Withey.
Releford's ability to surprise opponents is something that Kansas fans have seen before. His defense is something they have seen often. On Monday, Releford was the most efficient and productive player for the Jayhawks.

COMMENTARY
The Border War debate goes on

Or don't, they'll probably tell you sooner or later.
The Big 12 and SEC are close to agreeing to an annual basketball series beginning next season, potentially pitting all 10 Big 12 teams against the 10 best SEC schools each year. That news probably ignited an immediate hope across the state of Missouri from Tiger fans who are eager to continue the Border War.
But Kansas fans don't seem to care about continuing the century-long series with Missouri. Don't believe me? Just ask them.
Living inside the Lawrence bubble for long periods of time, experiences with Missouri fans are few and far between. But if you're in Kansas City, Mo., for this week's CBE Classic, it will be difficult to walk into a restaurant or bar without seeing fans from each school. And because there isn't a football game this Saturday or a Big 12 basketball game to argue about, the Border Cold War is all they have left.
Nothing is more unbelievable than the constant chatter about not caring. I get not wanting to play Mizzou anymore, or at least for a long time. There are plenty of good reasons from the Kansas perspective not to continue the games.
A home-and-home against Missouri takes away a home game every other year, taking money out of the Kansas basketball program's pockets.
The game meant much more for Missouri than Kansas. There was even a "KU hate week" every year leading up to the game in Columbia. The malice towards Kansas is both entertaining and worrisome at the same time. Junior point guard Phil Presley said last year that Mizzou could lose every game except the Kansas game and it would be a successful season. Anyone can understand why a school wouldn't go out of its way to help out a rival, and playing a series with Mizzou does nothing but help the Tigers, from pumping excitement into their season to guaranteeing a sellout in Mizzou arena.
Maybe Kansas officials just don't want to help out their former rival by playing a non-conference game because the benefits for the Tigers outweigh those for the Jayhawks. Or maybe it's just good old fashioned hate. Missouri left the series, not Kansas. Maybe the anger over the split will cloud any negotiations in the foreseeable future—it would be hard to blame anyone if that was the case. Major college athletics programs are full of egos and no one wants to look bad by perceivably caving to someone else's demands.
But while we wait for its return, jayhawk fans would look better by picking a side of the issue and sticking with it. Hope to play each other again or tell us the other school is dead to you and be done with it. Trying to constantly convince people of the latter looks silly, because we all know most fans are just trying to convince themselves.
I don't think anyone will ever really know the one true reason, if there is just one reason, why the Border War is dead for now.

KANSAS 78 WASHINGTON STATE 41
CLEARED THE BENCH
Kansas trounces Washington State by 37 points in Sprint Center
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas coach Bill Self's son, Tyler, appeared in his first career regular season game for the No. 12 ranked Jayhawks.
It was that kind of day for the team where the shots fell early and often and the defense created turnovers, allowing the walk-ons to enter the game at the end of their 78-41 victory against Washington State in their first game of the CBE Classic.
Fresh off his 25-point effort against Chattanooga, freshman guard Ben McLemore once again got the Kansas offense rolling. Fifteen seconds after tip-off, he caught a pass from senior guard Elijah Johnson on the wing, then McLemore showed off his silky-smooth shot, draining a 3-point shot to start the game.
Less than two minutes later, McLemore hit another 3-pointer, giving the Jayhawks an early eight point lead just 109 seconds into the ball game.
McLemore finished the day with 11 points, two offensive rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes of play.
He once again showed that he was the most athletic player on the floor when he threw down a put-back dunk off a fast break miss by freshman forward Perry Ellis—a dunk where he went over his teammate, freshman forward Jamari Traylor, to score.
For the first time this season, Self played all four of his seniors in the starting lineup. The addition of senior forward Kevin Young gave the Jayhawks the early energy they were missing from the four-spot in the lineup during earlier contests.
Young was the spark with
10 rebounds in 18 minutes of play, but it was another senior, Travis Releford, who took scoring over from McLemore at the midpoint of the first half.
Releford, who had been in a shooting funk and started the season 0-11 from 3-point range, opened his day with a deep two and found his rhythm, making his first six attempts from the floor.
He finished the day leading the team with 17 points, and went 2 for 3 from outside the arc.

Kansas owned the boards against the Cougars, led by Young and senior center Jeff Withey. The 7-foot tall Withey pulled down six boards, two off the offensive glass and five blocks.
After disappointing play in his last two games, freshman forward Perry Ellis scored double-digits for the first time since the season opener. Ellis finished the day with 12 points and showed the aggressiveness on the inside that had been lacking in his last two outings. He made all eight of his free-throw attempts in the game.
Senior guard Elijah Johnson found his 3-point shot early in the game, starting the day 2 for 3 on 3-point shots but struggled down the stretch, missing his final five attempts.
Johnson did improve in his role as the primary ball handler, tying with sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe for the team lead with four assists each. Johnson ended his night with eight points.

New slacklining club offers students social and athletic opportunities
CHRIS SCHAEDER
cschaeder@kansan.com
A new sport is taking shape at the University, and it has nothing to do with a ball, but rather a rope.
Kyle Young, a freshman from Overland Park, founded the KU Slacklining Club in October. He said the idea for the club originated from his passion for climbing.
"I've been climbing since I was 5 years old, so that was what got me started with this," Young said.
"My parents then got me a slackline for my birthday last April, and I fell in love with it."
According to slackline.com, slacklining is "the sport of walking a small, flat nylon rope between two points." People compete in slackling by attempting to cross a rope that is usually hung between trees or other sturdy objects. The length of the ropes vary depending on the skill of the slackliner. There is no scorekeeping, but people who conquer the longer, more difficult ropes are seen as premier slackliners.
Young also said he fell in love with slacklining because it presents a different challenge than other sports.
"The sport itself really focuses
In order to spread awareness for the club and the sport, Young and one of his roommates, Taylor Thomas, a freshman from Pittsburg, created a Facebook page. The page provides information to followers about meetings, videos on slacklining and group events.

on balance, and it's really a case where it's mind over matter," Young said. "You don't have to have a great amount of strength, and it's driven by your own desire."
According to the club's website, the club is dedicated to promoting the sport at the University and the surrounding communities, to educating members on the safe and proper use of slacklines and to challenge members to push their limits.
The group has 18 online members, and about seven to 10 peo-

and it, and I thought it was blast," Thomas said.
"One day, Kyle took a bunch of us out of our dorm to go try
Thomas also said there are many benefits to slacklining and being a part of the club.
"It's a great way to meet new people because everyone thinks it's really interesting," Thomas said. "It's also a great challenge because it's something that you can always get better at."
Although the club is struggling with funding right now, Young thinks its future is bright.
"I think that as time goes on and we get more people to come to the meetings, the club will grow and succeed," Young said.
The club's weekly meetings are on Wednesday outside Templin Hall from 4:15 to 5:45 p.m. and Fridays from 3:00 to 5:30 p.m. These meetings consist of teaching the basics of slacklining to those without prior experience with the sport. On Fridays, the club chooses a location where they can slackline and practice its technique.

Fair trade items another option for holiday gifts
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
While commercial retailers kicked off the holiday shopping season with Black Friday deals, the Lawrence Fair Trade Holiday Market opened its doors for its 21st year last Friday.
Hosted at Ecumenical Christian Ministries on campus, the market, which will last until Saturday, consists of 18 local fair trade retailers selling chocolate, sugar, coffee and other fair trade items.
Trade fair certified products, which promote fair wages, environmental sustainability and suitable working conditions, have only recently been available in Lawrence, said Sarah Stern, a senior from Lawrence and publicist for the event.
"When you buy fair trade, you know the person wasn't being taken advantage of," said Stern. "Until very recently, we didn't have any fair trade shops in Lawrence."
The Mere Community Market and Deli and Ten Thousand Villages, which recently opened on Massachusetts Street are a few places students can buy fair trade products. Also, the coffee beans used in the Roasterie coffee shops on campus are fair trade too.
Lawrence, prefers buying fair trade products because he knows from whom and where the items come from.

"From the consumer standpoint, the tricky question is verifying how much of whatever extra you pay actually trickles down to the end," Bittlingmaver said. "And then we are wondering about the actual effects at the economic level in Mexico, or Guatemala or wherever that may be."
LUKE RANKER/KANSAN
"The larger goal is to economically express the message that workers worldwide need to be respected and compensated fairly," Bova said. "Consumers, when given sufficient information, will choose to support businesses that do so."
Although the extra cost supposedly goes to pay fair wages, George Bittlingmayer, professor of economics, is less certain of the actual benefits incurred by fair trade practices.

Bittlingmayer said not all stipulations for fair trade certification necessarily promote economic improvement and may unintentionally afford larger producers more leverage in the market over small farmers, who may find the

STUDENT SENATE Senate to vote on bill for student survey board
Edited by Nikki Wentling
The Student Senate Student Rights Committee passed a bill to create a student survey board at its meeting Nov. 14.
The bill will be discussed at the full senate meeting this Wednesday. The purpose of the board would be to measure student opinion on Student Senate, its initiatives and its use of student fees. Part of the responsibilities of the board would be to survey a sample of the student body at least once per semester and report its findings to the full senate.
Zach McQuiston, senate development director and one of the authors of the bill, said the board would help Senate develop its platform by receiving input
The board would consist of the senate development director, who would act as chair, one representative from each committee, the senate outreach director, the student body president or vice president and one representative from the University Daily Kansan.
"Having something like this legitimizes it more," McQuiston said at the meeting. "It's hard data. We have to get as much visibility as possible."
"Our job is to serve the student body," said William Easley, an author of the bill. "And we need to be a good steward of their money."

The Student Senate University Affairs and Student Rights committees discussed a bill to replace the Court of Appeals with the Judicial Review Board at their meetings Nov. 14. Both committees passed the bill unfavorably.
Senate to consider creating judicial board
STUDENT SENATE
Tyler Childress and Alex Rippberger, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences senators, co-authored the bill, and 11 other senators sponsored it. In the time between the committee meetings and the full senate meeting this Wednesday, Childress and Rippberger have had the opportunity to make changes to it.
If the bill passes full senate, the Judicial Review Board will have the authority to resolve grievances between senate and students or student organizations, determine if an organization has used senate resources against senate rules and regulations and hear and resolve appeals regarding interpretation of senate rules and regulations. It could also interpret text of the senate rules
Hannah Bolton, student body president, spoke against the bill Nov. 14. She was concerned that because some members of the Judicial Review Board would come from the committees, there would be a conflict of interest.
"We want to make it where the board is transparent," Childress said during the student rights committee meeting. "This exists so you can mediate any problem that you have, and we want to increase its visibility and legitimacy. Right now, it's very vague."
"They would come in with some sort of bias," Bolton said. "Most of the problems being discussed would have been happening in committees, because that is where a lot of the controversy takes place."
If passed, the student judicial review board would be in effect in the Fall 2013 semester.

Afghanistan, Iraq vets join Congress
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON (AP) — As Tammy Duckworth sees it, her path to Congress began when she awoke in the fall of 2004 at Walter Reed Medical Center. She was missing both of her legs and faced the prospect of losing her right arm.
SOLIDARITY
This Nov. 15, 2012 file photo shows Iraq war veteran Rep.-elect Tammy Duckworth, D-III., who lost both legs in combat before turning to politics, arriving for a group photo on the east steps of the Capitol in Washington.
She lost her first election, but six years later gave it another try and now is one of nine veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who will serve in next year's freshman class in the of House of Representatives.
As the highest-ranking double amputee in the ward, Maj. Duckworth became the go-to person for soldiers complaining of substandard care and bureaucratic ambivalence.
Soon, she was pleading their cases to federal lawmakers, including her state's two U.S. senators at the time — Democrats Dick Durbin and Barack Obama of Illinois. Obama arranged for her to testify at congressional hearings. Durbin encouraged her to run for office.
Veterans' groups say the influx of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans is welcome because it comes at a time when the overall number of veterans in Congress is on a steep and steady decline.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
For example, the 95th Congress, which served in 1977-78, had more than 400 veterans among its 535 members, according to the American Legion. The number of veterans next year in Congress will come to just more than 100. Most served during the Vietnam War era. In all, 16 served in Iraq or Afghanistan, not all in a combat role.
"We're losing about a half a million veterans a year in this count
try," said Tom Tarantino, chief policy officer at Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans for America. "We are not going to be in a world where a significant plurality of people spent some time in the military, so to have 16 men and women who
fought in this current Congress is incredibly significant."
Tarantino said he recognizes that the 16 Iraq and Afghanistan vets have wide-ranging political views. But at the end of the day, he said, their shared experiences make
it more likely they'll put political differences aside on issues like high unemployment and suicide rates among returning veterans, or in ensuring that veterans get a quality education through the post-9/11 GI bill.

Congolese officials speak with rebels

An internally displaced Congolese child heats water at the Mugunga camp outside the eastern Congolese town of Goma Sunday. Regional leaders meeting in Uganda on Saturday called for an end to the advance by M23 rebels toward Congo's capital.

KAMPALA, Uganda Congolese officials are in talks Sunday with representatives of M23, the rebel group that last week took control of the eastern Congo city of Goma, according to Ugandan officials.
Ugandan Defence Minister Crispus Kiyonga said that he is mediating discussions to help both sides reach a settlement that would end a violent rebellion that has sucked in Uganda and Rwanda, which both face charges of backing the rebels.
M23 President Jean-Marie Runiga is leading the rebels in the talks, according to Rene Abandi, M23's head of external relations.
Abandi, who is now based in the Ugandan capital Kampala, said M23 representatives met with Congolese President Joseph Kabila
withdraw from Goma, M23 soldiers were visibly in control of the city Sunday. M23 President Runiga said that withdrawal from Goma was "under consideration"
in a tense, two-hour meeting that was also attended by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
"He tried to accuse us and we also tried to accuse him." Abandi said of the meeting with Kabila on Saturday. "It was a meeting to have a common understanding of the principle of negotiation. (Kabila) said he's ready to negotiate directly with us."
But some Congolese officials in the capital Kinshasa have said there will be no talks with the rebels unless they quit Goma. A regional summit of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region in Kampala — attended by both Kabila and Museveni — on Saturday called on the rebels to leave Goma and urged Kabila to listen to the "legitimate grievances" of M23.
and, while M23 did not oppose the idea "in principle," no decision had been taken yet, according to M23 spokesman Lt. Col. Vianney Kazarama.

BANGKOK — Protesters calling for the Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to step down rallied in the heart of Bangkok on Saturday, clashing with police in the first major demonstration against the government since it came to power last year.
Organizers had spoken of mobilizing hundreds of thousands of supporters. But only around 10,000 turned up, and by dusk the
Nevertheless, the tense gathering served as a reminder that the simmering political divisions unleashed after the nation's 2006 army coup have not gone away. The coup toppled Yingluck's brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, triggering years of instability and mass-protests that have shaken Bangkok.
leaders called the rally off.
Saturday's rally was organized by a royalist group calling itself "Pitak Siam" — or "Protect
Thailand." Led by retired army Gen. Boonlert Kaewprasit, the group accuses Yingluck's administration of corruption, ignoring insults to the monarchy and being a puppet of Thaksin.
Although the rally site itself was peaceful, protesters on a nearby street tried to break through a concrete barricade guarded by thick lines of hundreds riot police with shields, at one point ramming a truck into it. Both demonstrators and police hurled tear gas canisters at each other.
Yingluck took the group's threats seriously and accused them of trying to topple her government, which came to power in mid-2011 after winning a landslide electoral victory. Concerned about possible violence, Yingluck deployed nearly 17,000 police and

from the singer for allegedly exposing youths to "homosexual propaganda."
The ruling came after a one-day hearing that bordered on the farcical. During it, plaintiffs claimed that Madonna's so-called "propaganda of perversion" would negatively affect Russia's birthrate and erode the nation's defense capability by depriving the country of future soldiers. At one point, the judge threatened to expel journalists from the courtroom if they laughed too much.
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — A Russian court on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit that sought millions of dollars in damages from Madonna for allegedly traumatizing minors by speaking up for gay rights during a concert in St. Petersburg.
Madonna did not attend the trial, and her publicist Liz Rosenberg said Thursday the star wouldn't comment about it.
Anti-gay sentiment is strong in Russia, particularly in St. Petersburg, where local legislators passed a law in February that made it illegal to promote homosexuality to minors. Six months later, Madonna criticized the law on Facebook, then stood up for gay rights during a concert in St. Petersburg that drew fans as young as 12.
"Who will children grow up to be if they hear about the equal rights of the lesbian lobby and manly love with traditional sexual relations?" one of the plaintiffs, Darya Dedova, testified Thursday. "The death rate prevails over the birth rate in the West; young guys are becoming gender neutral."

'Hurt Locker' director takes on hunt for bin Laden in film
ticularly after the publication of Matt Bissonnette's "No Easy Day," a book that purportedly gives a first-person account of the Abbottabad mission, and the recent furor over the news that seven members of Team Six disclosed classified information while serving as paid consultants for Electronic Arts "Medal of Honor: Warfighter" video game. For some in the military brass, our special forces are in serious danger of overexposure, and to them, movies like "Zero Dark Thirty" are an integral part of that problem.
Kathryn Bigelow, the first female director to win an Academy Award after helming the Iraq War drama "The Hurt Locker" back in 2008, won praise from military insiders for realistically depicting the perils faced by Explosive Ordinance Disposal teams. Some veterans, however, were quick to dismiss the film's lead character, played by Jeremy Renner, as a cavalier stereotype.
The movie's reportedly bleak tone is also an issue. Early reviews suggest that Bigelow hasn't lost her knack for blending gritty violence with ideological ambiguity, meaning that "Zero Dark Thirty" won't be shying away from the ugly interrogation methods used to extract Bin Laden's whereabouts or the grim details of what happened inside the compound, which was crawling with women and children when the Seals stormed the gates. Personally, I'm glad the film is aiming for accuracy over sheer entertainment, but a morally muddled narrative could alienate audiences expecting a simple, patriotic action flick about the death of the boogeyman.
From the propaganda shorts of World War II to thinly veiled recruitment initiatives like this year's "Battleship" and "Act of Valor", Hollywood has a long history of cooperating with the U.S. military. Yet when it comes to dramatizing real-life events within our Armed Forces, the industry's concern for accuracy is often marginalized or dismissed altogether for the sake of producing easily digestible, inoffensive entertainment.
Now Bigelow and her "Hurt Locker" screenwriter Mark Boal are returning to active duty as battlefield chroniclers, this time in "Zero Dark Thirty," an exhaustive recollection of the decade-long manhunt for al-Qaida mastermind and millennial boogeyman Osama bin Laden. The movie, due for a Jan. 11 release following an Oscar-qualifying run in late December, boasts a cast of ascendant stars, including Jessica Chastain ("The Help") and Joel Edgerton ("Warrior"). It also contains a ripped-from-the-headlines sense of urgency that culminates in a meticulous reenactment of Seal Team Six's now-famous raid on the terrorist leader's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

Don't go public yet. Now is time to repleisten depleted reserves. Creative accounting may not work out well. For the next 10 days or so, it's easier to make romantic plans.
In the months leading up to the election, Bigelow and Boal had to contend with a flurry of allegations, mostly from conservative pundits, claiming that "Zero Dark Thirty" was being rushed into theaters to bolster President Obama's poll numbers by reminding the public of his decision to order the raid. Columbia Pictures responded by pushing back the film's release date, originally scheduled for mid-October, and compelling Boal to emphatically state that the movie's focus was far removed from politics.
On paper, "Zero Dark Thirty" reads like a jingoist's wet dream, a triumphant retelling of the operation that killed America's most notorious enemy. Yet the film itself has become a bone of contention among government bigwigs, par-

Deceased 'Dallas' actor was humble, well-liked
NEW YORK — One reason "Dallas" became a cultural phenomenon like none other is that Larry Hagman never took its magnitude for granted.
CRYPTOQUIP
During an interview last June, he spoke of returning to Dallas and the real-life Southfork Ranch some months earlier to resume his role of J.R. Ewing for the TNT network's revival of the series. There at Southfork, now a major tourist attraction, he came upon a wall-size family tree diagramming the entanglement of "Dallas" characters.
"I looked at it and said I didn't know I was related to HER!" Hagman marveled. "And I didn't know THAT!"
All this is largely thanks to Hagman and his epic portrayal of J.R., a Texas oilman and patriarch who, in Hagman's hands, was in equal measures loathsome and lovable.
In its own way, the original "Dallas" — which aired on CBS from 1788 to 1991 — was unfathomably bigger than anything on TV before or since. while J.A. Ewing remains unrivaled not just as a video villain but as a towering mythical figure.
What made J.R. irresistible, and always forgivable, was his high-spiritedness, his love of the game. Despite the legendary fortune of the Ewings, J.R. didn't flaunt his wealth. (Southfork was comfortable all right, but not ostentious. If you wanted to see a primetime soap whose characters threw their money around, you switched over to ABC and watched "Dynasty," J.R. savored power, not things. He loved doing to others before they did it to him, and he usually succeeded.
Operating with such diabolical zest, J.R. appalled viewers, yet they always rooted for him. And relied on him to prevail. Back in 1980, they played an obsessive guessing game of Who Shot J.R? But no one for a moment imagined he would die.
Hagman, who died Friday at 81, certainly had nothing more to prove a quarter-century ago when "Dallas" ended after 14 seasons.
This makes Hagman's passing difficult for fans to comprehend. And it raises an obvious question: During the new season of TNT's "Dallas," which begins Jan. 28, will J.R. have to die?
On some level, his fate seems unavoidable. But for viewers who have hate-loved J.R. for decades, there's a different answer: Thanks to Larry Hagman, J.R. is forever.

Armstrong scandal changes cycling

Only weeks after the International Cycling Union stripped Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles, American cycling is trying to find a way to distance itself from the blood doping era.
Adam Mills, who races for the elite Mercy Cycling Team based in Fort Smith, Ark. said Armstrong's fall from grace is rippling through amateur cycling.
"I know a couple tier three, or domestic, pro teams have folded this year," Mills said. "People just don't want to be associated with anything that might happen that's bad."
However, the teams that folded might be the exception, not the rule. Instead of turning fans away from cycling, Armstrong's punishment may have started to repair the trust between the sport and its fans. Every rider knows they will not be immune from sanctions for positive drug or doping tests.
Since the 1987 Tour de France, eight of the 12 Tour de France winner's were either sanctioned for doping or drug use or tested positive during their careers. John Lefter, a former elite cyclist and current race promoter, said Armstrong's exposure is good for cycling because it ends the driest era in the sport's history.
"I think it will affect it in a positive way because riders are going to realize there's an eye on them now," Lefler said. "I think it needed to be exposed. I think we needed to be able to wipe the slate clean and move forward."
Senior Grayson Warrior said he hopes his pain will emerge from this scandal cleaner and more popular. In fact, his livelihood might depend on it. Warrior is a sociology major and the vice president of the KU Cycling Club.
Instead of spending his summers in internships, he rides for Colavita/Parisi, a local team.
USA Cycling classifies Warrior as a level three rider. Once he is a more experienced cyclist, he will be in more races and can become
I think it needed to be exposed. I think we needed to be able to wipe the slate clean and move forward."
JOHN LEFLER Cycling race promoter
a level two rider. At that level, Warrior will begin to attract professional teams' attention.
He said although Armstrong gave cycling a face, opportunities for young riders to get into the sport wouldn't decrease just because Armstrong is gone.
"Lance had his time. He definitely helped push that, but it's not solely based on one person," Warrior said. "Nowadays, my friends, they don't really talk about Lance."
Warrior, Lefer and Mills don't race near the level of riders in the Tour de France, but they ride in USA Cycling-sanctioned races across the United States, including the Tour of Lawrence, Snake Alley and the Tulsa Tough.
Warrior said he hasn't raced
as much in the past year because his funds were short. However, he said if he struggles to raise funds early in his career, he wants to intern with cycling companies while racing on the side, because the time frame on cyclists' careers is much longer than athletes in other sports.
"The thing is with cycling, since there's almost zero impact to the body, it really doesn't damage your body that much," Warrior said. "There's an extensive amount of training that goes into it, but there are riders who race in the Tour de France that are in the high 30s."
Although domestic riders are not racing for as much prestige and money as riders in international events, they are still racing to support themselves, so Mills said some riders still dope. He said riders usually knew which riders were doping because they would make large improvements in their time during the season; instead of steady, short improvements.
For Mills, the hardest part of competing against riders who doped is not knowing how he would have done if everyone was clean.
"I don't know if I would have done any better, but the frustrating part is I'll never know." Mills said. "I can't say, 'Oh, you took this, this guy got third and you take him out, so bounce me up one spot.' No, this guy got third, but he made a pivotal move in the race that triggered this whole cascade of events."

Holiday shopping season off to record start
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — If you make holiday shopping convenient, Americans will come in droves.
EASTERN MUNICIPAL STREETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It's estimated that U.S. shoppers hit stores and websites at record numbers over the Thanksgiving weekend, according to a survey released by the National Retail Federation on Sunday. They were attracted by retailers' efforts to make shopping easier, including opening stores on Thanksgiving evening, updating mobile shopping applications for smartphones and tablets, and expanding shipping and layaway options.
In this Nov. 22, 2012, file photo, shoppers wait on a check-out line in the Times Square Tirs-Us store after doors were opened to the public at 8 p.m.
All told, a record 247 million shoppers visited stores and websites over the four-day weekend starting on Thanksgiving, up 9.2 percent of last year, according to a survey of 4,000 shoppers that was conducted by research firm BIGinsight for the trade group. Americans spent more too: The average holiday shopper spent $423 over the entire weekend, up from $398 last year. Total spending over the four-day weekend totaled $59.1 billion, up 12.8 percent from 2011.
Caitlyn Maguire, 21, was one of the shoppers that took advantage of all the new conveniences of shopping this year. Maguire, who lives in New York, began buying on Thanksgiving night at Target's East Harlem store. During the two-hour wait in line, she also bought items on her iPhone on Amazon.com. On Friday, she picked up a few toys at Toys-R-Us. And on Saturday she was out at the stores again.
"I'm basically done," said Maguire, who spent about $400 over the weekend.
The results for the weekend appear to show that retailers'
Matthew Shay, president and CEO of the National Retail Federation, said retailers can be encouraged by the first weekend of the holiday shopping season.
efforts to make shopping effortless for U.S. consumers during the holiday shopping season worked. Retailers upped the ante in order to give Americans more reasons to shop. Stores feared that consumers might not spend because of the weak job market and worries that tax increases and budget cuts will take effect if Congress fails to reach a budget deal by January.
"Retailers and consumers both won this weekend, especially on Thanksgiving," he said.

Utility worker pierced gas pipe before New England explosion
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — A natural gas explosion that injured 18 people and damaged 42 buildings in Springfield's entertainment district was blamed Sunday on a utility worker who accidently punctured a high-pressure pipeline while looking for a leak.
State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan said the Friday night blast in one of New England's largest cities was caused by "human error." He didn't name the Columbia Gas Co. worker who pierced the pipe while responding to reports of a gas leak.
The worker damaged the underground pipe while using a metal probe to locate the source of the leak. Coa said. A flood of gas then built up in a building that housed a strip club, and some kind of spark touched off the blast. officials said.
Coan said the employee was following older markings on a sidewalk that indicated the location of
A message left for a Columbia Gas spokeswoman wasn't immediately returned. Columbia Gas, a subsidiary of public company NiSource Inc., announced earlier Sunday that it planned to open a claims center for residents and businesses affected by the explosion at City Hall on Monday.
Preliminary reports showed the blast damaged 42 buildings housing 115 residential units. Three buildings were immediately condemned, and 24 others require additional inspections by structural engineers to determine whether they are safe. The building that housed the Scores Gentleman's Club was completely destroyed.
After the pipe was ruptured, authorities evacuated several buildings. Most of the people injured
were part of a group of gas workers, firefighters and police officers who ducked for cover behind a utility truck just before the blast. The truck was demolished.
Some officials said it was a miracle no one was killed. Springfield Fire Commissioner Joseph Conant praised the actions of city firefighters.
"The firefighters did an excellent job evacuating the area which certainly prevented additional civilian injuries and saved many lives," Conant said.
Columbia Gas officials have been cooperating with investigators and have determined there are no more gas leaks in the neighborhood, Mayor Domenic Sarno said.
Coan said the investigation is being turning over to the state Department of Public Utilities. It's not clear whether investigators will be able to determine what caused the spark that ignited the explosion

In this Monday, Dec., 1, 2008, file photo, an Amazon.com employee grabs boxes off the conveyor belt to load in a truck at their Fernley, Nev., warehouse. "Cyber Monday" was coined in 2005 by a shopping trade group that noticed a spike in online sales on the Monday after Thanksgiving when people returned to their work computers.
Cyber Monday takes center stage
NEW YORK — Bye-bye Black Friday. So long Small Business Saturday. Now, it's Cyber Monday's turn.
Cyber Monday, coined in 2005 by a shopping trade group that noticed online sales spiked on the Monday following Thanksgiving, is the next in a series of days that stores are counting on to jumpstart the holiday shopping season.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It's estimated that this year's Cyber Monday will be the biggest online shopping day of the year for the third year in a row: According to research firm comScore, Americans are expected to spend $1.5 billion, up 20 percent from last year on Cyber Monday, as retailers have ramped up their
Amazon.com, which is starting its Cyber Monday deals at midnight on Monday, is offering as much as 60 percent off a Panasonic VIERA 55-inch TV that's usually priced higher than $1,000. Sears is offering $430 off a Maytag washer and dryer, on each sale for $399. And Kmart is offering 75 percent off all of its diamond earrings and $60 off a 12-in-1 multigame table on sale for $89.99.
Retailers are hoping the deals will appeal to shoppers like Matt Sexton, 39, who for the first time plans to complete all of his holiday shopping online this year on his iPad tablet computer. Sexton, who plans to spend up to $4,000 this season, already shopping online on
the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday and found a laptop from Best Buy for $399, a $200 savings, among other deals.
deals to get shoppers to click on their websites.
"The descriptions and reviews are so much better online so you can compare and price shop and for the most part get free shipping," said Sexton, who lives in Queens, N.Y., and is a manager at a utility company.
Sexton also said that it's easier to return an online purchase to a physical store than it had been in previous years. "That helps with gifts," he said.
How well retailers fare on Cyber Monday will offer insight into Americans' evolving shopping habits during the holiday shopping season, a time when stores can make up to 40 percent of their
annual revenue. With the growth in high speed Internet access and the wide use of smartphones and tablets, people are relying less on their work computers to shop than they did when Shop.org, the digital division of trade group The National Retail Federation, introduced the term "Cyber Monday."
"People years ago didn't have ... connectivity to shop online at their homes. So when they went back to work after Thanksgiving they'd shop on the Monday after," said Vicki Cantrell, executive director of Shop.org. "Now they don't need the work computer to be able to do that."
As a result, the period between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday has become busy for online shopping as well.

Mayor Daniel Friesen says city officials sought legal opinions from several different sources before making the decision to alter the seal.
Residents were informed of the decision in an email Friday. The cross has been part of the city's seal since 1988.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation sent a letter to the city in September. The organization argued that the sign violates the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The group said including the cross indicated government endorsement of Christianity.

More natural gas being used as fuel
TRANSPORTATION
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCRANTON, Pa. — If the trash truck or bus rolling down your street seems a little quieter these days, you're not imagining things. It's probably running on natural gas.
"Now that you can save a dollar or two dollars a gallon.
Fleet managers are taking notice. Companies as diverse as AT&T, Waste Management and UPS are converting all or parts
Surging gas production has led the drilling industry to seek out new markets for its product, and energy companies, increasingly, are setting their sights on the transportation sector.
of their fleets to natural gas, as are transit agencies, municipalities and state governments.
Touting natural gas as a cheaper, cleaner-burning alternative to gasoline and diesel, drillers, public utilities and government officials are trying to boost demand for natural gas buses, taxis, shuttles, delivery trucks and heavy-duty work vehicles of all sorts, while simultaneously encouraging development of the fueling infrastructure that will be needed to keep them running.
there's huge interest in the market, especially in those fleets that use a lot of fuel," said Richard Kolodziej, president of the trade group Natural Gas Vehicles for America.
"Now that you can save a dollar or two dollars a gallon, there's huge interest in the market."
Waste Management, the nation's largest trash hauler, has committed to replacing 80 percent of its fleet with trucks powered by natural gas. Rich Mogan, the company's district manager in southwestern Pennsylvania, said about half of his fleet of 100 trucks now run on the cheaper fuel. They are quieter and less expensive to maintain, he said, and "we are looking at a 50 percent reduction in our (fuel) cost."
RICHARD KOLODZIEJI Natural Gas Vehicles for America
Driller EQT Corp. opened its own natural gas filling station outside Pittsburgh in summer 2011, using it to refuel its trucks while also making it available to the public. It's now doing about 1,000 fill-ups a month — and only half involve EQT vehicles. Other users include City of Pittsburgh trash trucks, shuttles run by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, a taxi service and a handful of consumers.
EQT wasn't sure how the station would be received.
"We didn't have commitments at all beyond our own vehicles. It was really a guess of what we think we could do," said David Ross, an EQT vice president focused on market development. "We had people who, at the beginning, said, 'No, we're not interested.' Today they actually
own a vehicle that's natural gas. I think having the physical asset sitting there has helped it become real for people."
Natural gas vehicles aren't new. But the drilling boom — spurred by new technology that unlocked vast reserves of natural gas in deep rock formations like the Marcellus Shale underneath parts of New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio — created a gas glut that depressed prices. That, in turn, has made natural gas more attractive as a transportation fuel.
Chesapeake Energy Corp., the nation's No. 2 producer, has been especially aggressive about targeting transportation. The Oklahoma City-based driller invested $150 million in Clean Energy, a company backed by Texas investor T.
Partly because of a lack of fueling infrastructure, gas isn't expected to grab significant market share from petroleum anytime soon. Only a tenth of 1 percent of the natural gas consumed in the United States last year was used as vehicle fuel, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Of more than 250 million vehicles on the road today, perhaps 125,000 are powered by natural gas.
But energy companies see potential.

Separately, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is dangling $20 million worth of incentives to goose the market for medium- and heavy-duty natural gas vehicles. The three-year program, which launches Dec. 1 and is funded by a state fee on drillers, aims at putting 600 to 700 new natural gas-powered trucks and buses on the road in its first year.

States are also promoting natural gas as a transportation fuel. Nearly two dozen state governments have formed a consortium to add natural gas-powered vehicles to their fleets, an effort launched by the governors of Oklahoma and Colorado that attracted more than 100 bids from dealerships last month.

"It's simply a matter of time before the U.S. meaningfully shifts from transportation systems built around consuming high-priced oil to consuming low-priced domestic natural gas," Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon wrote to investors this year.

Avoid finals stress with preparation
ACADEMICS
With finals just around the corner, this is the prime time freak out period. Whether you are a senior or a freshman, you still find yourself praying for a final that isn't cumulative, you're still pulling all-nighters in Anschutz library, and you'll still counting down the days to winter break. Seniors may have the advantage of experience over freshmen, but the stress is all the same no matter which end of the spectrum you're on.
All too often, students everywhere find themselves online shopping for Christmas presents, thinking they still have time to worry about those finals. Most college students get through finals week with too much stress,
little sleep and lots of caffeine.
Coffee can only do so much when stress is eating away at you.
Managing your stress is the best way to survive finals week.
It's a common misconception that college students often perform poorly come final exam time. With proper preparation and determination, this does not have to be the case. Start preparing now. Study a little bit every night. Start attending those extra study sessions. It will be worth it in the long run, for there is no better Christmas present to yourself than a successful semester with exceptional grades on your final exams.
By Anna Lavigne
alavigne@kansan.com
Start studying now and avoid the cramming later. College can be the most stressful of times,
but as students with full plates, it is imperative to maintain and deal with stress. According to an article on USnews.com,"when stress is prolonged or overwhelming, it has been implicated in a host of health problems, including impaired immunity and depression."
In the same USnews.com article, a survey was conducted for the Associated Press and MTV in
for students is eight hours, and any night of sleep less than that will reduce your memory skills and your performance level will tank. And you can't make up for an all-nighter by sleeping until noon on Saturday. Studies show it can take up to two weeks to get a natural cycle back after pulling an all-nighter.
Studying ahead of time is also a good way to avoid those all-nighters. We need sleep. Come finals time, you'll see heads down in lectures, heads in arms at Anschutz. But an all-nighter isn't going to help you on your final. In fact, according to a study by The New York Times, all-nighters actually hurt your study skills. Minimum sleep necessary
2009. It showed that 85 percent of college students were stressed. You're not alone. Stress is a part of life, but it can't take over your life. Manage it and stay on top of things. Built-up stress has no positives to it, and letting it get out of hand can threaten to your health. Deal with it as it comes. Keep your schedule organized and don't procrastinate.
Remind yourself—winter break. Motivate yourself to get through finals and then you can bask in your hard work and good grades as you sleep in your own bed back home. Added bonus: no homework over winter break.

Kind acts increase morale
For most college kids, being away from home and in a new environment is difficult and can often be overwhelming. Transitioning from an environment in high school where you knew almost everyone in your class, to a Division I University where you pass thousands of people every day that you don't know is a huge change.
Overcoming the initial anxiety of being overwhelmed by how big and impersonal things are here at the University often starts with small gestures of kindness from unexpected sources.
Ron Wroczynski and Paul Baker are two University Dining employees that nearly every student at the University has come across this semester. Wroczynski runs the hot dog stand on Wescoe Beach while his counterpart Baker prepares made-to-order omelets for students in a number of different buildings on campus throughout the week.
By Caleb Sisk
csisk@kansan.com
Although omelets and hot dogs are both delicious, they do not directly relate to helping students overcome the transition to University life. It is the complimentary service
of conversation that goes along with these delectable treats that has caused these two men to develop a loyal following amongest students.
Wroczynski and Baker offer students a taste of their lost home lives along with the food they serve, by remembering names and faces and bantering with them as they prepare their food. A few architecture students I spoke with said that they go visit Baker, or "Chez Paul," every single Monday for an omelet.
Students struggling to adapt to college town life will continue to thrive on the services offered by these two and will seek it elsewhere as well. If you're feeling a little homesick or overwhelmed by large-scale classes, get out and experience something that Lawrence has to offer outside of the University. Do whatever it takes to feel at home here and experience everything Lawrence has to offer. Hopefully you can find a few people like Ron Wroczynski and Paul Baker along the way to strike up a conversation with, but if not, make yourself at home here. I know I have.
When I probed them as to why they went back week after week they said it was because of the way that he remembers names, faces and even orders. That sort of personalized attention is something that you will be hard pressed to find anywhere in a college town and it is something that has made Wroczynski and Baker wildly
popular around campus.
A number of local businesses could learn a thing or two from the business plan of Wroczynski and Baker, which is one that emphasizes personalized service and friendly conversation. This local feel that these two offer is something that will continue to garner them more and more devoted, hungry fans.

Memes: acceptable entertainment form
As most people through the years have used the Internet and technology for productivity and the betterment of the world in general, there is a dark hole that has started to show itself in the past five years or so. That hole is better known as memes.
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
Yes, we all know and love the Internet memes, with them dating back at least a decade or so but not becoming popular until the past five years. But what do we think of when we think of memes? According to the article at newmediarockstars.com, we see that a meme being a "photo, quote, text of something similar that comes out of nowhere on the Internet." But what makes them the most interesting is the idea that something utterly random can be made funny or fascinating.
By Brett Phillippe
bphillippe@kansan.com
One example is if we take a look at some of the most popular memes. With such memes that include "Rick rolling," "Success Kid," "Condescending Wonka," and, of course, the popular Nicholas Cage, we can see the utter randomness that sprouts from the corners of the Internet.
Another example is what is even more surprising about these Internet memes is that the people behind them have the power to take a nobody like the "Overly Attached Girlfriend" meme and make her into a web celebrity. With this meme, she was able to take her 15 minutes of fame all the way to starring in her very own Samsung Commercial. Or take a real celebrity, like the rapper Xzibit with the "Yo Dawg" meme and make fun of their original 15 minutes of fame. Xzbit, the former host of the MTV show "Pimp My
Ride," was seen lashing out at the creators of the meme, saying on his Twitter account, "Everybody with the 'sup dawg' shit can find the highest place in your house and jump on something sharp to kill yourselves." Sadly, Xzibit isn't too fond of the only Internet publicity that's keeping him relevant.
But what can we take from these Internet memes? What does the state of the Internet say about us that focuses on pictures of cats speaking in awful English and "rage faces?" I would argue that we are all looking for something to entertain us and get an escape from all of the stresses of our lives, and these pictures and videos do just that, even for a split second. The Internet capitalizes on the cuteness of cats and dogs, awkwardness of social interaction and even more. What these memes can really do for us is give us an outlet by giving someone their 15 minutes of fame, to making someone completely and utterly lose their mind, or even allow people to relate to each other with the awkward situations they experienced.
And, if you ask me, that is perfectly OK.

Texas Christian coach Gary Patterson was thankful for a win Thursday night, but also for the effort by his defense, which forced four takeaways on the road
It was a rough night for Texas quarterback David Ash, who threw two interceptions in crucial territory. Shortly after his second intercepted pass, TCU defensive end Stansley Maponga sacked Ash and caused a fumble to give TCU its third takeaway.

TCU running back Matthew Tucker then ran for his second touchdown of the night to extend the Horned Frogs' lead.
Backup quarterback Case McCoy came in for Ash and played well throughout the remainder game. McCoy had a chance to be the hero and force the game into overtime, but he threw an interception on the second play of the final drive.

Oklahoma won the grueling battle. But Oklahon by a losing team in the rivalry's history.
But Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones, who completed 46 of 71 passes for 500 yards, threw three touchdown passes in the second quarter, which eventually tied the game at 24 going into halftime. Jalen Saunders, Justin Brown and Kenny Stills all caught more than 100 receiving yards for the Sooners, and the three had a combined 411 vards.
After Oklahoma State led most of the second half, Oklahoma backup quarterback Blake Bell ran to the end zone from four yards out on a fourth down to force the game into overtime. On the second possession of the game, running back Brennan Clay dashed 18 yards to the end zone to seal the win.

Iowa State quarterback Sam Richardson continued to surprise spectators. The freshman threw for 162 yards and three touchdowns and scrambled 18 times for 119 yards. But Richardson was limited in the second half when West Virginia's defense managed to create some key stops.
Touchdown passes to Austin and Stedman Bailey and a rushing touchdown from Shawne Alston went along with Tyler Bitancur's three field goals to help West Virginia defeat the Cylones.
West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith played well, but he also got help from one of his receivers, who has recently succeeded offensively. Wide receiver Tavon Austin caught six passes for 99 yards and had 14 rushes for 74 yards. Austin finished with 261 yards from scrimmage.

BU 6-5 (3-5) - TTU 7-5 (4-5)
Baylor stunned the world last week after its big win over Kansas State. This Saturday, Baylor proved that the win was no fluke, and its winning habits carried over against a good Texas Tech team.
An early touchdown run from quarterback Seth Doege and running back Ken Williams gave Texas Tech a commanding 14-0 lead at home. Doege and the Red Raiders offense found ways to score. Doege threw two touchdown passes to Darrin Moore and another to Eric Ward.
A 97-yard kick return by Jakeem Grant extended the Red Raiders' lead to 10. But that wasn't enough to take down the Bears. Doege had issues taking care of the football after he threw three interceptions and fumbled once.
Nick Florence elevated Baylor in the second half by starting things off with a touchdown run. Florence also threw two touchdown passes in the second half, giving him three in the game.
After Baylor kicker Aaron Jones tied the game at 45 with a 22-yard field goal, running back Glasco Martin scored his second touchdown in overtime to give the Bears another big win.

Q: What conference did Louisville play in prior to joining the Big East?
TRIVIA OF THE DAY

THE MORNING BREW Big 12 needs to be aggressive in recruiting more schools
Last week, college athletics were hit again by paranoia of conference realignment. The Big Ten's addition of Rutgers University and the University of Maryland will forever be known as the moment when college athletics shifted to super leagues.
By Andrew Morris
Despite my hate for all that conference realignment represents, the Big 12 must not waste time in pursuing new members. If the conference fails to add teams, it risks collapse.
We witnessed this when the Big 12 seemed certain to collapse after the loss of Nebraska and Colorado to the Big Ten and Pac-12. Last year, Texas A&M and Missouri left for the SEC, leaving the conference once again on the verge of collapse.
By Andrew Morris amorris@kansan.com
be catastrophic to the conference's longevity
But today, with the additions of Texas Christian and West Virginia, the Big 12 is healthy and has the potential of becoming one of the best conferences in college athletics. However, this is only possible if the smart people sitting in Dallas at the Big 12 offices realize the need to add as many as four to six more teams. Ten teams can only last so long, and a failure by the Big 12 to add more could
Under the current television contract, each Big 12 team earns more than $20 million annually in guaranteed revenue. This is a large amount of money, which is why some schools in the conference have been against adding others. If the Big 12 conference includes more schools during the current television contract, current teams would lose some of their $20 million to new members.
Despite this loss of money, the Big 12 should already have a few candidates in mind for adding to the conference. Florida State and the University of Louisville have constantly been linked with moves to the Big 12.
Both schools would be fit perfectly into the current mold of the conference.
Florida State boasts great football, and it has a basketball program that has been to four straight NCAA Tournaments. The Seminoles are also always solid in track and field, baseball and volleyball. Taking Florida State from the ACC would represent a new future for the Big 12.
If the conference added an 11th team, it would also look at adding a 12th member to even scheduling. The most likely member seems to be Louisville. Rick Pitton leads a highly-ranked Cardinal basketball team, which could easily compete for a national championship this season. The football program has been a steady commodity, recording three-straight winning seasons, including a 9-2 record this season. Louisville also makes perfect geographical sense and would allow the conference to revert to its two-division format.
One thing the conference can't do — if it adds two schools like Florida State and Louisville — is stop looking for other teams. Things are always changing, and 14- or 16-team leagues may soon become common.
KU
teams to add. The Big East and the ACC would likely crumble if Louisville and Florida State went to the Big 12. In this scenario, how awesome would it be for the Big 12 to go out on a limb and recruit schools like Duke, North Carolina, NC State and Clemson?
At this point, it is tricky to decide which
This situation may seem a little far-fetched, but the Big 12 must be proactive in the next round of conference realignment.

Chiefs fall to Broncos, incur eighth straight loss
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs had the ball back late in the fourth quarter Sunday, and were facing fourth down in Denver territory with just over 6 minutes left on the clock.
Coach Romeo Crennel thought about going for it — indeed, thought hard enough that he called a timeout to give himself extra time to weigh his options. But he ultimately sent out the punt team, and Kansas City never had another
opportunity to take the lead.
Doomed the Chiefs to their eighth straight loss, too.
With four-time MVP Peyton Manning directing the offense, the Broncos kept picking up first downs as time kept melting away, and a field goal in the closing seconds sealed their 17-9 victory.
The late-game decision by Crennel was just one example of a conservative approach that still has not yielded a touchdown since Nov. 12, a span of 11-plus quarters and more than 173 minutes.
"I was considering going for it, but then I decided not to go for it and we punted the ball," Crennel said, before explaining why: "The fact that it ended up being fourth-6 (at the Denver 47), and we still had the time on the clock to go out there and make the stop."
Crennel also elected to kick a field goal in the first quarter, when they were leading 3-0 and facing fourth-and-2 at the Denver 4. His reasoning was that it was best to get certain points, even though the Broncos had scored at least 30 in
five straight games.
They didn't need nearly that many to overcome Ryan Succop's three field goals.
Manning threw for 285 yards with touchdown strikes to Jacob Tamme and Demaryius Thomas, and Knowshon Moreno added 85 yards rushing for the AFC West-leading Broncos (8-3), who won their sixth straight despite putting Willis McGahea on injured reserve this week with a knee injury.
Manning went over 3,000 yards passing earlier in the game and
rode the legs of Moreno into Chiefs territory. That's when he lobbed a pass over nickelback Jalil Brown and into the hands of Thomas for the go-ahead, 30-yard touchdown reception later in the third quarter.
The Chiefs twice had chances to overcome the 14-9 deficit late in the fourth quarter, but they failed to move the ball after taking over at their own 37, and then getting it back, punted on fourth-and-6 at the Broncos 47 after a series of penalties ruined the drive.
Denver tacked on a field goal by Prater in the closing seconds, and after Jacksonville held on to beat Tennessee, the Chiefs were left as the league's only one-win team.
"We're frustrated every week. Every time we get a loss, it's frustrating," Charles said. "I don't know when it's going to stop, but hopefully we can did deep down in our souls and find a way to get out of this."

Jayhawks defeat Red Raiders on an emotional Senior Day
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
1 KANSAS
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
Junior libero Brianne Riley dives for a dig in Wednesday's match against St. Louis. Riley broke Kansas' record for number of career digs in Saturday's match against Texas Tech. She finished the match with 11 digs to give her 1,459 for her college career.
Libero Brianne Riley dug a Texas Tech attack to junior setter Erin McNorton, who then set it to senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree. She slammed the ball to the floor for her eight kill of the night.
Although it seemed like another point, it was much more than that for Riley. It was her 1,458th career dig, breaking Kansas' all-time career digs record as a junior.
"It was something that was always in the back of my head," Riley said. "I think it shows every day at practice I come ready to work. I could not do it without my teammates and my coaches because when I fist got freshman year, I was a mess."
The play epitomized Kansas' match against Texas Tech. Riley helped get Kansas' offense in-system with 11 digits, giving her 1,459 digits for her career. For the offense, Tolefree recorded nine kills in the Jayhawks three-set win on Senior Day. Tolefree, defensive specialist Morgan Boub and outside hitter Sylvia Bullock were honored before and after the match.
Tolefire opened her final match at the Horeksi Family Athletics Center with two straight kills, and she started the second set with one of her six blocks of the night. The Red Raiders took only brief leads in the second and third sets after Kansas won 25-11 in the first set.
However, Kansas' depth and talent overwhelmed Texas Tech, as the Jayhawks took the final two sets each 25-19. Kansas outhit, outdug and outblocked the Red Raiders as it finished the year 25-6 and 12-4 in the Big 12. The Jayhawks also finished with a winning percentage, 806, the highest in program history. Coach Ray Bechard said the Jayhawks lost focus during its final two sets because of Senior Day and its first set romp. Although he couldn't play Bullock as much as he wanted, he was still happy
she recorded a kill in the third set.
"First and foremost, we need to win the match," Bechard said. "But you also want to appreciate all those things the kids have done for you. So you see Bohu get a service ace or see Tolefire get a block or see Sylk get a kill, you're proud of them."
Boub recorded seven digs, including one that flew over the net and landed on Texas Tech's side of the floor for a rare kill for the defensive specialist. When giving her speech, Boub became choked up when mentioning her teammates.
"Past and present teammates," Boub said. Looking over at them, she broke down, an accurate reflection of the chemistry this team built during the season.
"I knew I had to speak at the end, so I was a little nervous for that," Boub said. "I told myself I wasn't going to cry, and then I saw one of my teammates crying before we even started talking."
Like Boub, the toughest part of the day for Tolefree may not have been
playing the Red Raiders. Rather, it was giving her senior speech.
During her speech, she turned to redshirt junior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael and redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, who sat side-by-side with their heads buried in a towel. Both entered the program with Tolefree four years ago.
"To Catherine and Caroline," Toleflere said. She had to stop, overcome with emotion.
Tolefie said despite all the emotion, it would still take a while for her to fully realize she's done playing with one of her best friends, Jarmoc, at Horeisi.
Edited by Christy Khamphilay
"I knew going in that this was going to be my last year. She knew going in that it wasn't," Tolefree said. "It won't hit us yet until the spring when she's going to practice, and I'm still in bed."

Henrickson, Davis reach milestones this season
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
This weekend, women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson reached a milestone, winning her 300th game as head coach of the lavahawks.
Henrickson was given the game ball after Kansas' 76-59 victory over Alabaan a &M at Allen Fieldhouse on Friday.
"I've been really really blessed in my career to coach really really talented players," Henrickson said. "I think back to all the great players and people I have had the opportunity to work with every day."
"It's fun to be able to share it with all the people that have just dug in with you," Henrickson said.
Seniors Carolyn Davis and Angel Goodrich are some of the people that have "dug in" with Henrickson over her career. They were both there for Henrickson's 200th win as the Jayhawk's coach as well as the most recent win, which gave her 300 for her career.
The landmark victory comes in Henrickson's ninth season as the coach of the Jayhaws.
"To be a part of that and to be
a player that helped her get those wins feels awesome," Davis said.
Henrickson said she would have liked to have had the win be a prettier one, but she was happy about the accomplishment otherwise. Angel Goodrich said her coach joked about the ugliness of the game afterwards.
"I know this game wasn't something that she liked," Goodrich said. "It was a little ugly game for us as a team."
Forward Carolyn Davis achieved a milestone mark of her own in the victory over Creighton. Davis scored 12 points against the Blue Jays, which gave her 1,400 points scored in her career at Kansas.
After the milestone, there was little time for Henrickson to move on and add win No. 301. Less than 48 hours later, Kansas defeated Creighton 58-48 in Omaha, Neb. for the team's first road game of the season.
The Jayhawks seemed to have learned from issues they had with their defense in the Alabama A&M game when they played Creighton. The Jayhawks held Creighton, a better team than Alabama A&M, to 11 fewer points.
On offense, Kansas scored efficiently, shooting 53.3 percent from the field against Creighton. This was a much prettier win for the Jayhawks as Henrickson indicated after the game.
"This was a solid team effort, and we got great offensive support from both Monica and CeCe," Henrickson said of senior guard Monica Engleman and junior guard Cce Harper. "It was a good win."
Angel Goodrich facilitated the offense with nine assists in the game, a season high for her. She also had five steals, yet another season high for her. Sophomore guard Natalie Knight had five steals as well.
The No. 22 ranked Kansas Jayhawks will return to Lawrence and play Grambling State on Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse at 7 p.m. The Jayhawks hold a 5-0 record on the season heading into the match up.

Elijah Johnson, Senior Guard
Johnson's transition to the point hasn't been as smooth or as natural as expected at the start of the season, and while the guard has shown flashes of his ability, he is still looking to put together a full game where he pushes the Jayhawks offensive tempo. But by recording nine assists against St. Louis, he is showing that he could be about to turn the corner in his progress leading the Jayhawk offense.

McLemore
Releford will be tasked with shutting down San Jose guard James Kinney on defense, which will be key to the Jay-hawks shutting down the Spartans. If Releford can't contain Kinney, the Jayhawks could be in for a long day. Releford's contribution on defense will be far more important than any impact he has on the offense, despite his recent offensive breakthrough.
McLemore's explosive alley-oops and put-backs showcase his athleticism and explain why he is such a hard player to contain, but he needs to become more consistent with his aggressiveness. McLemore has a tendency to disappear at times, which could hurt Kansas down the stretch.

Withey's 25-point explosion against SL Louis shouldn't be expected every day, but he should continue to be a presence on the low post for the Jayhawks.

James Kinney, Senior Guard
The Preseason ALL-WAC team selection leads the Spartans in scoring, averaging 21 points per game. The guard set the single season three-point field goal record at San Jose State last season with 86 baskets. Kinney is a complete player who can get to the ball on the defensive end and slash to the basket on offense.
★★★☆
The junior college transfer is still trying to find his role with the Spartans. A week ago against UC Santa Cruz, Jones scored 10 points with four assists and one turnover in a 25-minute performance. Although a relatively unknown player, he has shown the ability to get to the basket early in the Spartans' season.
Xavier Jones, Junior Guard
D.J. Brown, Sophomore Guard
★★★★★
Brown started the last 19 games for the Spartans. Last season, he averaged 7.7 points per game and is the Spartans' three-point shooter. In his last game, Brown shot three for four from outside in a nine-point performance. The sophomore takes care of the basketball and finished last season with more assists than turnovers.

Cunningham transferred to SISU from Santa Clara, where he didn't get solid playing time. After practicing with the team last season, Cunningham is starting this year.

KU TIPOFF
The No. 12 Kansas men's basketball team enters its game against San Jose State after winning the CBE Classic in Kansas City, Mo. last week. The Jayhawks spent their Thanksgiving break on the practice court. As the calendar gets ready to turn to December, the Jayhawks are beginning to figure out what each player's role on the team will be, and they will prepare for the homestretch before conference play begins in 2013.

"Practice was fine, as fine as it can be eating three turkeys, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, green bean casserole and creamed corn and ham and everything else."

PLAYER TO WATCH
Senior Guard Travis Releford
Releford emerged from his early season scoring slump and exploded for 17 and 23 points in his two games last week in the CBE classic, where teams left him open because of his previous struggles. Now that Releford has burned two teams with his scoring ability, he will face more pressure when he has the ball. He'll have to continue providing a scoring punch — even with the increased attention — in order to create open shots for his teammates and keep the offense moving.
SAN JOSE STATE TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
After losses to New Orleans and Houston, the Spartans have won two consecutive games against Weber State and UC Santa Cruz. The Spartans were picked ninth in the preseason WAC coaches polls in what is to be their final season in the conference before moving the Mountain West. The loss of transfer Keith Shamburger — the third leading scorer on last year's squad — to Hawaii is substantial. The Spartans look to preseason All-WAC guard James Kinney to lead this year's team.
HEAR YE. HEAR YE
"Right now, we're focused on the grind of each day, getting better every day and enjoying the spirit of the team. We want to keep focused on the process of getting better and working at it, because we really believe that we have the makings of a good team."
SIS Coach George Nessman after the victory over UC Santa Cruz.

This preseason All-WAC selection is averaging 21 points per game to lead the Spartans in scoring. The senior from Champaign, III., transferred to San Jose State from Ohio University where he played the 2010 season. Kinney is the team's vocal leader. He will have to play well against the Jayhawks back court for San Jose State to compete.
Dromn played his first two seasons at John A. Logan College, where he averaged 10.5 points and seven rebounds per

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
The Kansas defense plays with an aggressive mindset, forcing turnovers that lead to easy baskets, allowing them to jump out to a big lead and give the reserves extended playing time.
BABY JAY WILL CRY IF...
James Kinney and the Spartans find their post game, allowing the team to create easy outside shots with the inside-out game. This task is much harder than it sounds against a Jayhawk team coming off its best games to date in the Sprint Center.

COMMENTARY
Manziel deserves Heisman trophy
Henrickson wins 300th game as Kansas coach
PAGE 12
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
Texas A&M freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel has captured the spotlight in the
college football world. Manziel continued his dominance after a 59-29 victory over Missouri, throwing for 372 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two more.
In the history of the Heisman, zero freshmen have won the prestigious award handed to the best college football player. Only three sophomores have received the award since 1954. The history stacks against Manziel, but voters simply don't vote for freshmen.
The only issue is that Heisman voters see it differently. Some aren't impressed with his play, but one thing does stick out: Manziel is a freshman.
"Johnny Football" helped the Aggies clinch their first 10-win season in 14 years, despite the move from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference. Manziel's remarkable performance solidified his spot as a serious Heisman contender.
Heisman winners all lead their respective teams while increasing their production to incredible proportions. Those same players make plays that make spectators stare in disbelief.
Those are a few of many qualities that Heisman-caliber players possess. So what if Manziel is a freshman? He competes at the highest level and deserves to strike the famous Heisman pose and take the trophy.
However, it's time to put that to rest and just focus on the best player in college football. That player would be Johnny Manziel.
NO DAYS OFF
— Edited by Christy Khamphilay
"Johnny Football" completed the season throwing for 3,047 yards, 21 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. Former Heisman quarterback winner Tim Tebow of Florida threw for 3,286 yards, 32 touchdowns and six interceptions in more played games than Manziel. Another Heisman winner, Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, only threw for 2,854 yards and 30 touchdowns.
Look, if Texas A&M didn't have Johnny Manziel, think about the success of the football team. Instead of having 10 victories, the Aggies might barely have four or five. The victory over No. 1 Alabama wouldn't be possible without the freshman quarterback.
Manziel accounted for 439 yards of total offense against Missouri. That moves him to the top of the SEC single-season list for total yards, passing Cam Newton in 2010 and Tim Tebow in 2007.
The best part of Manziel's game is his rushing ability. On 172 carries, Manziel rushed for 1,114 yards and scored 17 times. Tebow only rushed for 895 yards while Newton ran for 1,473 and 21 touchdowns.
Manziel's dual-threat ability truly makes him a special talent. After the Missouri game, Manziel recorded his sixth game with two or more passing touchdowns and two or more rushing touchdowns. That tied Tim Tebow in 2007, during his Heisman year, for the most such games in a season since 2000. No other Football Bowl Subdivision quarterback has more than three this season.

With extra practice time over the holiday break, Kansas looks to turn up the heat

"Yesterday, we spent two hours just putting in four or five different wrinkles, stuff like that, which it takes time," coach Bill Self said.
One of the different facets the Jayhawks debuted in the CBE Classic last week was their use of full-court man pressure.

Johnson is still getting used to the adjustment and hasn't fully settled into running the floor the way Self wants it to be done.

After a seven-year absence, the Kansas volleyball team is back in the NCAA Tournament and will host Cleveland State at 6:30 p.m. on Friday in Allen Fieldhouse.
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
After a 25-6 regular season, including a 12-4 Big 12 record, Kansas knew it would be selected for the tournament. However, unlike the mens basketball tournament, the top 16 seeds in the volleyball tournament host the first round of matches in their own gyms.
The only drama for Kansas was whether it would be one of the 16 schools given a national seed and the right to host. When the television screen in Allen Fieldhouse's Naismith Room finally showed Kansas received the 11th overall seed, the room erupted in cheers.
"Oh my goodness, so excited," redshirt junior middle blocker Caroline jarmoc said. "We had a really high RPI coming in, but you don't ever really know what the selection committee's going to do."
When the selection committee gave Iowa State the 15th overall seed early in the selection show, there was some concern Kansas wouldn't get to host. The Cyclones
"When Iowa State came up as a seeded team, I thought, 'Uh-oh, maybe they jumped over us with their win last night against Texas,' coach Ray Bechard said. "But I think for three Big 12 teams to be seeded is very fair."
The layhawks benefitted from playing a tough schedule this year, which their No. 7 Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) ranking reflected. Kansas finished 10-5 against teams that made the NCAA Tournament.
If that was the case, Kansas' only hope to host was to be the 16th and final national seed. But it wasn't.
With Kansas still waiting to learn its destination, some Jayhawks thought Iowa State's victory against Big 12 champion Texas Saturday night may have catapulted the Cyclones over the Jayhawks in the selection committee's mind.
split the season series with Kansas and finished ahead of the Jayhawks by one game for second place in the Big 12.
After finishing last season 15-14 and 3-13 in the Big 12, Jarmoc said the upperclassman took on the responsibility of setting the tone during workouts and maintaining that focus throughout the season.
Junior libero Brianne Riley said that change in culture can

Last Wednesday, Kansas hosted Saint Louis in Allen Fieldhouse because it knew the selection committee might pick them to host, and Horesi Family Athletics Center doesn't hold enough people to meet NCAA hosting requirements. Although the match was the night before Thanksgiving,

Kansas might get to avenge its early season loss to Arkansas, as the Razorbacks and Wichita State will join Cleveland State in coming to Lawrence. Even though the Jayhawks lost to Arkansas in the third match of the season, Bechard said that match showed

RACHEL SALYER

Like many who wage battle, Zach Graas fights for freedom and independence.
But his battlefield is empty hospital hallways and the hollow, piercing sound of an MRI machine. His enemy: the dozens of pills he swallows daily.
Zach has one word to describe the cancer that has invaded his 19-year-old brain: "frustrating."
"I just thought, 'Shit, this is not okay.' Zach said.
His fight started last September during his freshman year at the University. In the shower, his right hand went numb. The numbness persisted; Zach stumbled to his bed.
After an overnight trip to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, a CT scan and a MRI, Zach knew he had a partial simple seizure, but he would not learn he had fibrillary astrocytoma, a series of brain tumors, until a month later.
"My mom told me," Zach said. "She was crying, so I knew it was cancer. I felt disappointed. It was literally the worst possible
outcome."
From there, doctors wheeled him in for surgery; then a year full of chemotherapy and pills began. He took five chemo pills every 23 days for 12 months, in addition to nearly 12 seizure-prevention pills every day.
Zach said chemo wasn't so bad. Despite feeling tired and nauseated, it was the surgeries and MRI scans that got him at first.
"I remember being little and thinking the brain was just the scariest thing," Zach said. "We saw pictures of the MRI machines in school, and I was so freaked out."
Listening to Tupac during MRIs helped, but Zach said the best remedy is a change in mindset.
"I was really reckless before and carelessly free," Zach said, recalling a time he sped his Ford Mustang into a tree. "Now it's about wanting everyday, and wanting to make it better than the one before."
Eventually his right hand became worse, he writes and types with three fingers.
A recent MRI showed he needs a tumor resection surgery, in which surgeons will try and
remove the cancerous cells while restoring the movement back to his right hand, which he can't lie flat. To perform the surgery, doctors need Zach to be awake so he can move his right arm. That way, Zach says, they won't get any of the good cells.
When he found out the chemo did not completely destroy the tumors, his family accompanied him to the MRI, and so did Rachel Forrest, a friend and junior from Edmond, Okla.
"I don't like to think about the numbers," Zach said. "I know my prescriptions alone are in the thousands." In addition to the copays, and the flight, Zach and his family will have to make it to the University of California, San Francisco for his December surgery.
When the results showed the cancer was not gone, Rachel wanted to use her skills to help. A painting and art history major, Rachel began organizing an auction to raise money.
Zach helped Rachel move over the summer, despite the heat and not having complete use of his right hand.
"I couldn't have done that on my own," Rachel said. "He's helped for nothing, so I wanted to help."
The silent auction will be part of Final Fridays in the Alton Ballroom at Pachamama's, 800 New Hampshire St., from 5 to 9 p.m.
More than 30 pieces of art have been donated from University students, graduates, faculty and other artists in the community.
Rachel expects to be anxious the day of Zach's surgery as she awaits word from his mother.
"I know I'll be nervous," Rachel said. "It helps that Zach is so chill about it."
If the surgery goes well, Zach hopes his battle will be over, and he will eventually throw away the pill bottles that surround him, though the MRI machine will be a familiar former foe in the months following.
Edited by Whitney Bolden
"I want to be independent again," Zach said. "It's annoying to be so dependent on the medicine, the doctors and to need my brother around just in case."

University LGBT group promotes awareness for gender-neutral bathrooms
NIKKI WENTLING
nwentling@kansan.com
Gender-neutral restrooms will be available on campus for the week to bring awareness to transgender issues.
For the last week of Transgender Awareness Month, the University's LGBT Resource Center switched the restrooms in the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center to single-use, gender neutral. Only one person can use the restroom at a time, and either restroom can be used.
The purpose of the temporary switch is to promote the implementation of permanent gender-neutral restrooms on campus. Michael Detmer, coordinator for the LGBT Resource Center, said it could be uncomfortable for transgendered people to be in a bathroom that is designated for a specific gender.
"It's a safety issue," Detmer said. "They're forced to make that decision, and there are people who have had experiences with physical and verbal assault by being in a bathroom where others perceive them as being the opposite sex."
Detmer said that the center is trying to get the University's support for changing some of the single-use restrooms on campus to gender-neutral.
"It's just a matter of finding where those single-use bathrooms are located and changing the signage, which can be costly," Detmer said. "But we're willing to figure out

how to make that happen."
Restrooms on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union were also switched to gender neutral last night from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. during The LGBT Resource Center's viewing of the movie "The Beautiful Boxer," which is based on the story of a Thai boxer who underwent a sex change operation to become a woman.
The same restrooms will be switched to gender-neutral again on Friday from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. during a discussion with Stephanie Mott, state chair for the Kansas Equality Coalition.

Car hits student in crosswalk near Union
A car struck a University student who was crossing Oread Avenue in front of the Kansas Union around 6:00 p.m. Monday.
The student was using the crosswalk and received minor injuries, said Sgt. Gary Wieden, a KU Office of Public Safety spokesman.
At the time, it was unknown if speed was a factor in the accident; Wieden said the driver was cited for failing to yield at a crosswalk.
Wieden did not know if the driver is a student.

Whisper provides students with outlet

Danon Taylor, a freshman from Ottawa, first heard about Whisper from a Facebook advertisement and started using it at the beginning of the semester. Taylor lives off-campus and said Whisper is a way for her to connect with fellow students.
Whisper, a new mobile app, allows users to anonymously submit secrets as personal as exposing their sexuality or posts as thoughtless as what they're eating for dinner. Students on campus have begun to participate in the Whisper world.
The Whisper app, which launched in May, receives over one million views a day and currently has more than 100,000 users.
The first step to posting a whisper is downloading the app and exploring previously posted secrets. Users are automatically given an anonymous username, which can be changed later.
"It's an outlet for people to post emotional things," Taylor said. "It's reassuring that you're not alone."
To post a whisper, users must select a photo from their phone or download one from the Internet. They then have an

NJ Gov. Christie seeks second term

ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO
Chick Sorbello, right, of Lavalette, N.J., consoles Elizabeth Docimo of Brick, as she talks about damage to the shore with Gov. Chris Christie in Toms River, N.J., on Nov. 21, as Christie, his wife Mary Pat Christie and other volunteers handed out prepared Thanksgiving dinners to the needy near the shore area devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey Gov Chris Christie has filed papers to seek re-election next year, while enjoying a popularity surge due to his hands-on response to Superstorm Sandy, the worst natural disaster in state history.
The 50-year-old Republican filed papers with election officials Monday cementing his intention to seek a second term, according to two people close to the governor. The technical step allows Christie to set up a campaign headquarters, hire staff and raise money toward his re-election, said the people, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak before the governor makes a formal announcement in a few weeks.
Christie carried the Democratic leaning state by 86,000 votes in 2009, an upset win over Democratic incumbent Ion Corzine.
About the only criticism directed his way since Superstorm
Christie, who has become a national figure during his first term, is riding an unprecedented wave of popularity because of how he handled the storm. Even Democrats have applauded his hands-on response. He appeared on "Saturday Night Live" in his trademark fleece pullover this month to lampoon his own nationally televised storm briefings.
Sandy attacked the coast in late October has come from fellow Republicans who have lambasted him for embracing President Barack Obama as the two toured New Jersey's ravaged coastline six days before the presidential election. Some even blame Christie for tipping a close election to the president.
Christie was the first governor to endorse Mitt Romney; he raised $18.2 million for the GOP nominee and crisscrossed the country as an in-demand surrogate for Republican candidates. Some are still questioning his party loyalty, however, as they did after Christie delivered the keynote address at the party's nominating convention in Tampa. Critics saw that August speech as too much about Christie and not enough about Romney.
Christie was courted by some Republican bigwigs to enter the presidential contest early on, but he spurned their overtures and later ruled himself out as vice presidential material as well. Buzz over a Christie 2016 run has become muted since the governor boarded Marine One with Obama.
So far, no one has stepped forward to challenge him as governor. Several Democrats, most prominently Newark Mayor Cory Booker, have been thinking aloud about running for their party's nomination.
Christie's reputation for
bluntness and penchant for confrontation have made him a YouTube sensation and sometimes obscured policy changes he has championed.
With the help of Democrats who control both houses of the state legislature, Christie took on public worker unions, enacting sweeping pension and health benefits changes that cost workers more and are
designed to shore up the underfunded public worker retirement and health care systems long-term. He also enacted a 2 percent property tax cap with few loopholes to try and slow the annual growth rate of property taxes, already the highest in the nation at an average of $7,519 when adjusted for rebates.
and Democrats have refused to budge on his signature issue for this year, a phased-in 10 percent tax cut. With tax collections underperforming the administration's projections and storm rebuilding threatening to eat further into revenues, Democrats are unlikely to waiver on their position that the state can't afford the cut.
Christie's education reforms have been slower to accomplish.

TECHNOLOGY
Fund established for commercial projects
Technologies invented at the University may soon be available on the marketplace.
The recently established Proof of Concept Fund will provide money to research projects that have the potential to be commercialized. The fund will award a total of $200,000 to projects this year, and applicants may apply for up to $50,000.
Proposals for funding are due by Jan. 2, and a panel with the KU Center for Technology Commercialization will choose the award recipients by
February 2013.
"We will look at how close it is to being ready to be licensed, and if there are people in the marketplace who would buy the technology," said Julie Goonewardene, associate vice chancellor for innovation and entrepreneurship and president of the KUCTC.
Goonewardene said she thinks the fund is a step toward promoting entrepreneurship, and that the University is emphasizing commercialization.
"It's very much part of our mission as a public institution in Kansas to move these inventions to the marketplace to benefit the people of Kansas and the rest of the country," she said.
Gov. Sam Brownback has pushed for universities to increase the amount of entrepreneurial activity, and Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said that the University is answering this call. In an interview last week, Gray-Little said that the University has assisted in starting up about 20 companies in the last 25 years.
"It's something that we are interested in and involved in and have been for the last few years," Gray-Little said. "We can contribute to the economy by creating businesses and by creating jobs in other ways."

Experienced spacefliers to spend one year in space
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A former space shuttle commander whose twin brother is married to former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will attempt the longest spaceflight ever by an American.
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko will spend an entire year aboard the International Space Station beginning in 2015.
Both countries' space agencies announced the names of the two veteran spacefellers on Monday. The extended mission was approved almost two months ago to provide a medical foundation for future missions around the moon, as well as far-flung trips to asteroids and Mars.
Both men already have lived aboard the space station for six months. NASA wanted experienced space station astronauts to
streamline the amount of training necessary for a one-year stint. Officials had said the list of candidates was very short. They will begin training next year.
"Their skills and previous experience aboard the space station align with the mission's requirements," Bill Gerstenmaier, head of human exploration for NASA, said in a statement. "The one-year increment will expand the bounds of how we live and
work in space and will increase our knowledge regarding the effects of microgravity on humans as we prepare for future missions beyond low-Earth orbit."
Kelly's identical twin brother, Mark Kelly, retired from the astronaut corps last year and moved to Tucson, Ariz., his wife hometown. The former congresswoman was critically wounded in an assassination attempt in January 2011, while
Scott Kelly was living aboard the space station.
Astronauts normally spend about four to six months aboard the space station. The longest an American lived there was seven months, several years back.
Russia, though, will continue to hold the world space endurance record.
Kelly and Kornienko will launch aboard a Russian rocket from Kazakhstan.

Pakistani TV anchor survives bomb attack
ASIA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD — Police on Monday found and defused a bomb planted under the car of a prominent Pakistani TV anchor threatened by the Taliban for his coverage of a schoolgirl shot by the militants, police said.
The bomb was made up of half a kilogram (one pound) of explosives stuffed in a tin can, said Bani Amin, the police chief in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, where the incident occurred. It was placed in a bag and attached to the bottom of Mir's car, Amin said.
One of Mir's neighbors noticed the bomb under the car after the TV anchor returned from a local market, and the police were notified, said Rana Jawad, a senior official at Geo TV.
No group has claimed responsibility.
The Pakistani Taliban threatened Mir and other journalists last month over their coverage of

about those responsible for the attempted attack against Mir.
The anchor said on TV after the incident that it would not deter him from speaking the truth.
The Taliban targeted Malala for criticizing the militant group and promoting secular girls' education, which is opposed by the Islamist extremists. She is recovering in Britain.
"It was proven today that the Protector is more powerful than the attacker," said Mir.
He said he wasn't prepared to blame the Taliban for the attempted bombing, claiming he had received threats from others as well.

Rebels ignore order to retreat from city
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GOMA, Congo — Rebels widely believed to be backed by Rwanda and Uganda stepped up their patrols Monday of this key eastern Congo city that they seized last week, even as a midnight deadline issued by a regional bloc for them to withdraw loomed.
The M23 rebels said Monday they plan to move their headquarters to this city of 1 million later this week, another sign that they do not intend to leave by midnight. Underscoring the chaotic situation, armed rebels guarded the Central Bank of Congo while United Nations peacekeepers stood watch over a gas station. Many shops closed early on Monday and few students attended reopened schools.
The Congolese military, which suffered a humiliating defeat when it lost Goma last Sunday, was regrouping in the town of Minova, 60 kilometers (36 miles) to the south, but they appeared disorganized and not in position to launch an immediate assault on Goma.
Congolese Prime Minister Augustin Matata Ponyo confirmed that President Joseph Kabila had met in recent days with the rebels during a mediation session in neighboring Uganda. He said that the government at this point is leaning toward "the avenue of dialogue and peace," suggesting it is unlikely the military will try to take Goma by force if the ultimatum is not respected.
"Any action to take back the city of Goma by force will without doubt result in enormous human loss," said Matata Ponyo in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Monday.
A deadline was issued by the International Conference for the Great Lakes Region on Saturday in Kampala, Uganda's capital, and gave the M23 rebels two days to retreat to 20 kilometers (12 miles) outside of Goma. It expired at midnight on Monday.

Knightley and Law take on iconic roles
MINNEAPOLIS — For Keira Knightley, playing Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina was the mirror image of playing Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet.
The heroine of her 2005 film "Pride and Prejudice" is beloved by generations of readers. This time, she had to walk an emotional tightrope in Tolstoy's drama of infidelity, vengeance and retribution, making her adulterous character spirited, energetic, relatable, yet not too likable. Knightley feared that if she made Anna an innocent victim, "you're going to lose the audience, and if you lose the audience they are just going to go, 'Oh, shut up and jump under a train'!"
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
“There are moments when Tolstoy hates her,” she said. “I first read the book in my late teens and remembered it as this sweeping romance. Then I went back to it last summer and thought, 'This is a very different thing than I remembered.' Sometimes she is the anti-heroine. He's almost holding her up and saying, 'This is the Whore of Babylon'. He's not going, 'You should go off with this romantic love.' Then sometimes you feel he completely understands her and he's absolutely in love with her."
This film image released by Summit Entertainment shows Dakota Famming, left, and Cameron Bright in a scene from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2."
TUESDAY NOVEMBER 27, 2012
Director Joe Wright wanted all those contradictions, Knightley said.
"That's the dichotomy of Anna that has made her such a fascination for so many years," Knightlev said.
Knightley and Taylor-Johnson spent a fair amount of time stumbling into each other as they practiced their big ballroom dance scene.
ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO
Although she's no stranger to costume drama (or comedy, if you count her "Pirates of the Caribbean" films), Knightley never had a wardrobe to match Annas. As a socialite in 19th-century St. Petersburg, Anna dresses in the height of fashion, luxury and vanity.
TWILIGHT
"It's different rehearsing something in track-suit bottoms and suddenly adding a dress that was so heavy it felt as if I had a small child attached to my waist," she said. "All of a sudden you're twirling around and someone behind you is stepping on the back of your skirt, and then he steps on the front and I can't see my feet and I'm stepping on his.
"It was annoying because he picked up the dance like that, and it took me about three weeks."
Costume designer Jacqueline Durran, who also costumed Knightley in period style for Wright's "Pride and Prejudice" and "Atonement," visited Chanel in Paris to borrow yards upon yards of pearls and bushels of diamonds. Each morning Knightley would choose what kind of jewels she wanted from a treasure chest worth about $2 million.
When half the financing dropped away, Wright's conception of the film changed radically. What was envisioned as a naturalistic production shot in Russia quickly became a stylized version shot mostly on a sound-stage. The shift is well-suited to a story of a society where false and artificial values were paramount.
Wright's theatrical staging provides an ingenious background for Knightley's tortured passions, with Jude Law superb as her fussy, cold husband, Alexi, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson's romantic Vronsky the most dashing fellow since Errol Flynn swung from his last chandelier.
Sequel lacks moral value for viewers
EMILY DONOVAN
edonovan@kansan.com
Few plots are so convoluted that they grow more innately ridiculously as sequel after blundering sequel is released. If you're looking to snicker, read a synopsis of "Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2." And then cry at the fact that this tortuous "love story" is a highly successful, multi-billion dollar franchise.
Sadly, Twilight's target audience may not be as capable of filtering out the dysfunction of this family of vampires.
Young women and other long-time supporters of the series often fail to analyze this film's disturbing violence, sexual ploys and dearth of strong women or even functional interpersonal relationships. Role models or simply a moral theme that could help young women prepare for life in modern times are stunningly absent from "The Twilight Saga." Audiences deserve better.
From the opening title, blood becomes almost banal throughout the film. Rampant violence, accompanied with mediocre computer graphics, overtake scene after scene. Actors' heads are casually removed from their necks with bare hands, bodies are burned and squeamish vampiric feeding is implied offscreen.
Why would a love story be accompanied by so many executions?
There's a roaring undercurrent of sexualization that seems to drive the movie as much as the plot does. Scenes of soft-core porn, shot in uncomfortably zoomed in close-ups, are spliced by a plot of impending doom. And, of course, a certain werewolf undresses to inspire a revitalization of the franchise's pin-up posters and action figures line.
How are my middle-school aged cousins supposed to react?
The most jarring relationship is between the two characters that "Twilight's" young, female audience identify closest with—a teenage mother and her 11-year-old daughter. Viewers will find no humbling depictions of the heartwarming bond here. Caring for Renesmee appears to be a team effort as Bella leaves her newborn daughter to be passed around the house full of supernatural baby-sitters.
more than just her caretaker.
Yes, in its newest installment,
"Twilight" breaks from its previous fields of necrophilia and beastiality to explore pedofilic undertones.

Is a 12-year-old girl watching this movie going to pick up on how indescribably creepy it is? Should young women be exposed to Bella and Edward's alarmingly gruesome world?

managed to earn $340.9 million in its worldwide opening — the eighth largest premiere ever. A teenage mother and her husband, who can't stop getting her into life-threatening situations, are being marketed as the paragon couple of our generation.
When watching a movie in theaters, you can't vapidly accept everything that comes on the screen. Moviegoers, namely tween and teenage girls, will never get back the innocence of not knowing exactly how Bella and Edward consummate their supernatural marriage rather than spend time
with their daughter.
As college students, we have a responsibility to point out when pop culture is having something so unhealthy shoved down its throat. Make sure the susceptible women in your life who may go see Twilight know that violence and pedophilia are not acceptable.
Hold Hollywood accountable. If we're not careful, people might actually believe Bella and Edward are a picture perfect example of true love.

Mick Jagger, left and Keith Richards, of The Rolling Stones perform at the 02 arena in east London on Nov. 25. The band are playing four gigs to celebrate their 50th anniversary, including two shows at London's 02 and two more in New York.
MUSIC
The Rolling Stones turn 50
The Stones passed the half-century mark in style at the sometimes emotional gig that saw former bassist Bill Wyman and guitar master Mick Taylor join their old mates in front of a packed crowd at London's 02 Arena.
LONDON — The Rolling Stones made a triumphant return to the London stage on Sunday night in the first of five concerts to mark the 50th anniversary of their debut as an American-oriented blues band.
It was the first of five megashows to mark the passage of 50 years since the band first appeared in a small London pub determined to pay homage to the masters of American blues.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
They showed no signs of wear and tear — except on their aging, heavily lined faces — as frontman Mick Jagger swaggered and strutted through a stellar two-and-a-half hour show. He looked remarkably trim and fit and was in top vocal form.
But the band's fiery music was no joke, fueled by an incandescent guest appearance by Taylor, who played lead guitar on a stunning extended version of the ominous "Midnight Rambler," and Mary J. Blige, who shook the house in a duet with Jagger on "Gimme Shelter."
The 50th anniversary show, which will be followed by one more in London, then three in the greater New York area, lacked some of the band's customary bravado — the "world's greatest rock 'n' roll band"
Lead guitarist Keith Richards, whose survival has surprised many who thought he would succumb to drugs and drink, was blunt: "We made it," he said. "I'm happy to see you. I'm happy to see anybody."
"It's amazing that we're still doing this, and it's amazing that you're still buying our records and coming to our shows," he said. "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Jagger, in skin-tight black pants, a black shirt and a sparkly tie, took time out from singing to thank the crowd for its loyalty.

Family and friends key to happiness
My not-so-average life has taught me that there are three things in life that everyone cherishes. Everyone values and believes in family, friends and significant others. Throughout life we often lose appreciation by not always showing it. If you want a rich and fulfilling life, it's not about your diploma or wallet. It's about showing appreciation for your relationships every chance you get.
Our best relationships tend to be with our family. Their love is unconditional. Sometimes as we get older and move out on our own, we become too independent. We're busy and we forget about our support systems. When I was young, my closest relationships were with my seven first cousins. As I got older, I missed out on cousins' sporting events and life accomplishments. My immediate family was in turmoil. My father committed suicide when I was 6 years old, a week
before my parents were going to move back in together. After this loss, my mother became an alcoholic. I was taken by the state of Massachusetts for five years from ages 9 to 14. God bless my mom for her recovery that she has made since then; she is an inspirational woman. While I was in residential, group and foster homes, my cousins brought a smile to my face the most. Love and cherish your family. Stay in touch. Nothing will mean more as you get older than your family.
By Sean Noble

Our second best relationships are usually with friends only because they aren't as strong. We have numerous associations in life but not as many true friendships. We tend to move away from our closest friends as we pursue a future. Throughout our schooling, we've lost touch. But we've always had someone there for us. They tend to get pushed to the side. Every day I've been in college, I've wished to look down
the hall and see someone I knew from before. From the fifth grade until junior year, after roughly eight years of being separated from "normal" childhood and adolescent life, I was never able to form close relationships.
I could never maintain close friendships while being moved around. When I finally returned to public school my senior year I went from straightedge to criminal (I was young and I hung out with drug dealers, guilty by association). The life and friends I made helped me grow into a far happier person than I had
ever been. My most stable group of friends gave me the joy my life was missing. When you have these loyal undying friendships, live them to their fullest potential. If they're far away, stay in touch but don't ever put anything before friendship besides family.
Our third best are usually significant others because they survive less often. Everybody should be in healthy, happy relationships that make them want to be better. They must be appreciated. Don't let everyday life change the time you have. Go out and enjoy what binds us in this world. Enjoy life, stick up and speak well of them, don't lie or hide things, tell them why they mean so much to you. Always show them appreciation.
I recently ended a four-year relationship that became more surviving than enjoying. It was with an awesome woman and gave me the greatest gift, my son Jacoby Charles-Edward Noble but relationships change. About three years were spent trying to fix
things. If you have to fix things to be happy then you're not truly happy.
Everyone deserves to be happy. I have a new woman in my life full of potential to become more and have a better life than she alone could imagine. She has helped me to become a better man by being a proud leader and beautiful, independent woman. If we don't consistently show appreciation to our relationships, then we will always be left wondering.
The people who we form these special relationships with are and always will be most important in our lives. They're the ones who see us at our best and worst but will always be there, as we move on in life and create our own futures. Remember never forget to show appreciation for those that are, and hopefully will be in our lives, for a long time.

Robots: It's time to tell your partner
University students face many hardships during their time in college: keeping a balanced bank account, actually finishing the readings for Western Civ and deciding between spending a Friday night in watching Disney movies or out stumbling around The Hawk. However, all of these pale in comparison to the real issue facing students today: knowing how to tell your significant other that you are a robot.
By Rachel Keith
rkeith@kansan.com
Ladies and gentlemen, the FFA public has spoken. And this fall it wants robot advice.
A few years ago, I was secretly seeing one of my older sister's friends behind her back until she squealed about it, causing a painfully awkward confrontation from sister to sister. We were only casualty dating, but despite my frustration with his blabbling, I wanted more. She asked if I thought we would ever be exclusive, and I answered that perhaps we would, but that he was sometimes a heartless robot and therefore might not even desire it. Three weeks later though, we were official.
I thought nothing of it at the time but in retrospect, could it have really been true? Could he, of all people, have been a robot? Just how many of them are lurking around campus? And how many of us need to come clean about our robotic ways? If our response to "I love you" is "Does
not compute," we owe it to our partners to be honest about our binary beings.
In this tough yet important process, first evaluate if you're actually a robot. Some say that never showering or showing human emotions are dead giveaways that someone is a robot. However, this could describe many college students at Kansas, so here the line becomes blurred. But if you have nightmares about the spinning pinwheel of death and you describe your favorite pattern as "pixilated," you might be a robot and need to embrace the truth.
After you carefully assess your robot status and determine that you are indeed a machine, next prepare how you will tell your partner. Some students may not take issue with dating such creations, but others may desire a relationship that's a little more human. Prepare your speech in binary code if you'd like, but practice it in words for your boy/girlfriend. No need to brace yourself for a breakup here — your lack of feelings will get you
through it.
Finally, even if your partner leaves you over your being a robot, don't forget to process that all is not lost. In a world in which robots in human clothing are rampant in movies like Vanessa in the first two Austin Powers flocks and the Sherminator from the American Pie trilogy, be confident that despite all odds, you can again find artificial robot love and perhaps one day start a robot family of your own.
All non-robots at the University will scoff as they may, but when it comes to relationships, it's important for us to be truthful with our partners about being robots. Honesty is almost always the best policy and here, that sentiment rings true. Sometimes status in the robot community can really be a dealbreaker.
If we aren't honest from the beginning, being a robot could send our relationships in college and in the future into system overload and possibly result in total malfunction. But even at the University, successful robot-human relationships are possible if we're willing to try them on for size.
In the end, all we have to do is learn how to operate them accordingly.

CAMPUS
Don't lose focus this close to finals
W with the end of the semester coming up, it is important to remember not to check off
to remember not to slack off.
Stay on top of your schoolwork
and it will pay off.
There will be many distractions for students to lose focus on their schoolwork, such as Jayhawk basketball and the nightlife around town, so don't fall victim to these traps. You've heard a lot of these things before, and you've heard them for a reason.
For example, Thanksgiving Break: It is a time to go back home for a few days, completely forget about school and spend the time relaxing. With finals only two weeks after break, it is a good idea to not completely forget about your studies and focus on ending the semester strong. Don't let bad finals ruin an entire semester's hard work because it is not worth it. It is probably a good idea to spend part of your break studying for finals because they are an important part to a student's success.
Now that basketball season has finally tipped off, some of you may be more focused on the team than school. Let's face it: it is one of those people and you probably are too. But don't let the season distract you. With basketball season meaning so much to us students at the University, it is easy to get lost in the hype of the season. But we need to remember that school is just as important as a good season. Make sure you manage your time wisely on game days so you can study and watch the game.
People often like to go out and party more than usual at the end

of the semester. It is the time when everyone is getting worn down from an entire semester's hard work but also when everyone wants to get all of the partying out of his or her system. That is fine, just don't overdo it. Too much partying can cause you to become sluggish and your schoolwork will suffer. Your bank account won't hate you as much, either.
So why slack off for these final two weeks of classes before finals? It is not worth wasting an entire semester's work in the final few weeks. It is fine to let loose and have a good time but don't go too crazy. In some cases, the final weeks of any semester are the most crucial. You have worked hard this far, just keep it up and don't let it go to waste.
Lastly, it is important for us students to get enough sleep. Don't let yourself become sleep deprived by staying up all night at the bars. A weekend at the bars or partying can mess up your sleeping schedule for the upcoming week. Getting a sufficient amount of sleep is just as crucial to your schoolwork as studying is.

BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN fvousoughian@kansan.com
C
1. Kansas State 10-1
It was a bitter bye week for Kansas State. The team spent the week working on bouncing back after its recent 52-24 loss to Baylor.
Q
2. Oklahoma 9-2
Oklahoma won last week because of a collective group effort. Coach Bob Stoops liked what he saw from his offense and wants to see that carry over against Texas Christian.
3. Texas 8-3
A loss for Texas lowered the team's ranking. Mack Brown has a plan to try to beat Kansas State, push the Longhorns back up in the polls and keep sights on playing in the AT&T Cotton Bowl game.
OKLAHOMA
STATE
UNIVERSITY
4. Oklahoma State 7-4
An overtime loss to Oklahoma was not easy to take, especially after the Cowbys put up 48 points against the Sooners. Oklahoma State will visit a Baylor team that has been playing well lately.
TCU
HORNED FROGS
5. Texas Christian 7-4
Coach Gary Patterson's defense came to work on Thanksgiving against Texas. The Horned Frogs would love nothing more than to do the same thing against Oklahoma with a lot on the line for both teams.
T
6. Texas Tech 7-5
Even though Texas Tech looked like a different team on Saturday, it still played strong against Baylor. In the end, the Red Raiders fell short and finished the season by allowing 111 points in two consecutive losses.
7. West Virginia 6-5
WV
West Virginia has had enough of being tossed around by Big 12 teams. The Mountaineers snapped a five-game losing streak on Friday against Iowa and looks to finish the season on a better note against Kansas.
BAYLOR BEARS
8. Baylor 6-5
Baylor's magic number is 52. For a second week, Baylor scored 52 points to pull off back-to-back wins at home. Can it keep up the consistency against Oklahoma State?
STATE
9. Iowa State 6-6
It was a season of highs and lows for Iowa State. The Cyclones couldn't pull out a quality win in the Big 12, but won enough games to become bowl eligible.
KU
10. Kansas 1-10
At this point, Kansas is willing to try anything to win. After a season full of hardships, a win against West Virginia would be a sweet way to end the long season.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Anybody that's involved in a rivalry game like this, they can say they treat it like any other ballgame, but you don't. They'll run faster, they'll jump higher, and they'll make plays in that ballgame that they wouldn't make in any other ballgame."
Former Mizzou basketball coach Norm Steward
FACT OF THE DAY
There are two "official" records for the football rivalry, with each side claiming a different total, both in favor of Mizzou.
Missouri: 57-54-9
Kansas: 56-55-9

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Why wasn't the Border War football game played in 1918?
A: The 1918 Spanish Flu Epidemic — www.columbiatribune.com
THE MORNING BREW Season seems empty without Border Showdown rivalry
For the first time since 1918 and the second time since the rivalry's conception in 1891, the Kansas and Missouri football teams did not play a against each other.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
The oldest college sports rivalry west of the Mississippi River, the Border Showdown drew the attention of both school's fan bases and was an important game on the schedule every year.
Missouri's move to the SEC at the beginning of this year ended the rivalry. There are currently no scheduled games between the two teams in the future.
After watching an incredible Saturday of college football filled with exciting matchups such as the Bedlam game between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and Notre Dame against USC, I realized that there was one thing missing: the Border Showdown. As I was watching Johnny Football and Texas A&M take it to Missouri, I began to wonder how the Jayhawks would matchup against the boys from Missouri this year.
Both Missouri and Kansas have had seasons that have showed promise and disappointment. The Tigers took Florida down to the wire, losing 14-7 in Gainesville, Fla. The Jayhawks looked like Big 12 contenders, or something close to them, during the first half of the Kansas State game. Kansas also played Big 12 opponents Texas Christian, Oklahoma State, Texas and
some more insightful than others. After a couple Twitter arguments/conversations and the subsequent loss of at least five followers, I had garnered a decent amount of information to make a general prediction for the game.
Texas Tech very close as well.
At the same time, each team has had its moments looking like "The Replacements." With the inconsistency both teams showed, who wins the game is the team that shows up.
If I were a betting man, I'd take Missouri straight up. They've simply found a way to win more football games than Kansas this year. But rivalry games aren't that simple. With the history these two teams have, any fan knows that anything can happen. There's a reason football games aren't played on paper
- see Kansas State vs. Baylor two weekends ago. Kansas certainly has the guns to go against Missouri and win, seeing as Missouri is in the bottom half of most major offensive and defensive categories this year.
KU
It would have been entertaining to see how this year's matchup would have played out. Unfortunately, we're left playing "what if" games thinking about it. The money driven move to the SEC by Missouri derailed one of the best rivalries in all of sports. With Missouri's hoops team beginning to rise to national
prominence, and the definite improvement of KU football, the rivalry would be heading towards a golden age. Instead, fans miss out on a series of great games in various sports each year, and writers like me are left somber over our laptops thinking about what could have been.

Judging by the results in 2012, the league is stronger than ever.
Season proves Big 12 is still strong despite losing teams
The health of the Big 12 has been a topic of debate since Nebraska and Colorado kicked off a fourteam exodus a few years back.
No Big 12 team was able to survive through Thanksgiving with a shot at the national title. But nine of the 10 teams, including newcomers West Virginia and TCU, are already bowl eligible.
The league's 90 percent success rate is by far the best in the country — and that's with an extra league
game for each school and a week left to play.
No. 7 Kansas State can win the league title with a victory at No. 23 Texas on Saturday, while No. 12 Oklahoma needs a victory by the Longhorns and to beat TCU to win the Big 12.
Everyone except Kansas will be playing beyond this weekend.
"I would say it's probably as strong and there's probably as much parity as I've seen," said Kansas State coach Bill Synder, who has coached in the Big 12 for all but three years of its existence. "You've seen the conference kind of fall out
of the national spotlight gradually over the season. But at the end of the day, it's because you're playing such tremendously talented football teams week in and week out. Having a nine-game schedule like that is quite difficult."
Perhaps the biggest reason why the league is so deep is because West Virginia and TCU have fit seamlessly into the league in place of Missouri and No. 10 Texas A&M, now in the SEC.
The Mountaineers and Horned Frogs have discovered that things are a lot tougher in the Big 12 than their old homes.
West Virginia won the Big East's BCS berth in its final season there and hung 70 points on Clemson in winning the Orange Bowl. But after a 5-0 start in 2012, the depth of the Big 12 began taking a toll. West Virginia (6-5, 3-5) needed a late TD to beat Iowa State 31-24 and simply reach bowl eligibility.
"It's a tough league, and each and every week the same thing happens. It doesn't matter who's playing who. It's going to be a battle." West Virginia coach Dana Holgersen said.
TCU went unbeaten in its final season in the Mountain West in 2011. The Horned Frogs have
taken their lumps in the Big 12, but they're coming off their biggest win yet as a member of the league.
TCU (7-4-4-4) fell flat in its home opener, losing 37-23 to Iowa State in quarterback Trevone Boykin's debut. The Horned Frogs also dropped a wild, triple-overtime affair to Texas Tech, 56-53, and lost to Kansas State at home.
But the Frogs, in place of A&M as Texas's Thanksgiving night opponent, thumped the Longhorns 20-13 for their first win over a ranked opponent this season.
"The thing that everybody said, wed hear on the recruiting trail before we joined the Big 12 was, 'Well, they win ballgames. But they don't play good competition every week. And now, we've been in every ballgame and we've won our share of ballgames," TCU coach Gary Patterson said. "We've got to raise our level of athletic ability at a lot of positions. But I think our kids play hard."
Texas Tech will also return to the postseason after a brief dip in 2011. Despite losing four of their final five regular season games, the Red Raiders are 7-5 after winning just five games last season.

Jayhawk offense loses momentum in second half
TREVOR GRAFF
tgraff@kansan.com
Over the break, coach Bill Self focused on two major points of emphasis, points that held the Jayhawks back in early season contests—energy and assertiveness.
To Self, his squad played too lethargically on offensive and without assertiveness on the defensive end. The Jayhawks struggled on both ends of the floor, despite senior center Jeff Withey's triple-double, in a 70-57 win over San Jose State.
"Withey won the game for us almost single handedly," Self said. "He was the only one that played well."
Self said Withey has been
scoring better and covered up a lot of mistakes in tonight's game.
The lajahays struggled offen-
sively, a theme of the early season.
"We couldn't pass it, shoot it, dribble it, screen it, we couldn't do anything," Self said. "We were just awful."
After first half struggles, the Jayhawks picked up the pace on the offensive end to start the second half, but the hot start didn't last. The last 12 minutes of play were a struggle for the Jayhawks scoring only 12 points in that stretch.
Senior guard Eljah Johnson said playing harder in second half was a matter of showing the difference between the Jayhawks and San Jose State.
"That's when we knuckle in and grind," Johnson said. "Coach puts
that in our head in the locker room all the time at the half, we usually come out with that fresh in our minds."
"We did play well, but we were up 15 with two-and-a-half left and in our building they went on a 7-0 run," Self said. "Then, in our building earlier in the second half they went on a 16-0 run. That was certainly beyond discouraging in that stretch."
But a 16-0 scoring run from the Spartans led to a stale shooting performance late in the second half.
The Jayhawks lack of offensive rhythm early in the second half gave San Jose State the added momentum they needed to hang with the Jayhawks for the remainder of the game.
"I think we just gave them
momentum, and I think we made some bone-headed plays to give them some extra energy," Johnson said. "Any team can take that momentum and turn it into something, and that's what they did tonight."
The rough play was most evident on the glass. The layhawks were outrebounded 45-to-41 by the Spartans, and struggled to score in the paint outside Withev's efforts.
"We didn't have any post presence if it wasn't for Jeft," self said "You can say take jump shots, but right now Ben obviously wasn't a factor offensively tonight. Elijah had no juice so he couldn't get pass anybody. When you only have one low post presence it just isn't that easy to say get the ball in tight."
The Jayhawks didn't score on opportunities when the post players established position in the second half. This lack of interior scoring led to an offensive pace that was, "ridiculously slow," Self said. Self wasn't happy with his squad's efforts to push the pace.
"It never happened tonight," Self said. "Now when we got from defense to offense, I thought there was se me good pace involved there, but if we hadn't figured it out, we've got a pretty good guy behind blocking shots, so why wouldn't we get out and pressure our guy? That's the thing that's discouraging me."
Spartans senior guard James Kinney found plenty of open space in the Jayhawk defense. His 30-point performance highlighted a flaw in the Kansas defense.
"He was all over the place," senior guard Travis Releford said. "It wasn't a single-man task. He got his chance to play against everybody out there. He put up 26 shots. We have to do a better job at communicating as guards and just go from there."
The Jayhawks have two practices to prepare for Oregon State. The Beavers are the biggest team Kansas will face to this point in the season.
"Those guys that are short have to play bigger than their standing height," Self said. "We're so passive as far as being active and going after the ball. Maybe I see it through different eyes, but I just think that we're not a real aggressive group."

COMMENTARY Jump shots help spread defense
By Geoffrey Calvert
gcalvert@kansan.com
Often a lost art in the highlight-driven college basketball world, the two-point jump shot is a beautiful thing when used correctly.
Coach Bill Self has been imploring the Kansas team, specifically senior guard Elijah Johnson, to quicken the offensive tempo. Last night, the Jayhawks used jump shooting to spread the San Jose State defense in the first half, allowing Kansas to create pace with its half-court offense.
Edited by Hannah Wise
WITHEY BLOCK PARTY
Kansas has enough athletes that it would be foolish to insist for freshman guard Ben McLemore to take flat-footed, two-handed set shots every possession like players did 50 years ago. Against San Jose State, the Jayhawks ability to hit mid-range jump shots opened up the floor down low for the big men. Kansas got good shots off early in the shot clock, resulting in 37 first half possessions.
The Jayhawks shot better from three-point range during the first half, especially compared to some of their other early-season three-point performances. They missed enough three-pointers that the Spartans could have sagged on defense if Kansas settled only for three pointers. But Kansas kept the Spartan defense honest with its jump shooting.
In the second half, Kansas' jump shooting cooled, one of the reasons San Jose State went on an unforgivable 16-0 run in the second half. Kansas must do a better job taking care of the ball around the perimeter. The Spartans jumped in front of Kansas' passing lanes, and it was San Jose State who looked like it wanted to push the tempo. Kansas had 37 possessions again in the second half, but because the Spartans' offense worked quickly.
The Jayhawks made only four of 18 three-pointers against San Jose State, but they shot 30 percent from three-point range in the first half. But Kansas stayed committed to taking open twopoint jump shots instead of forcing the ball to the hole, taking time off the shot clock and slowing the Jayhawks' pace to a plod.
That's fine, unless the three-pointers aren't falling, and then defenses can take away the low post game because they don't have to respect the three. When Kansas adds the jumper to its arsenal, it stops the defense from committing multiple defenders around the basket.
Unlike previous games, Kansas wasn't afraid to look for its jump shot, even when its three-pointers weren't falling. Against Southeast Missouri State, Kansas shot only 2-21 on three-pointers, and against Chattanooga, the Jayhawks missed 16 three-pointers. During these games, Kansas tried to shoot only behind the three-point line or right next to the basket.
Poetically, as bad as Kansas' jump shooting was in the second half, Johnson's two-point jumper with 1:16 left effectively ended the game. Seeing as the Spartans' were committed to stopping his drive, Johnson pulled up near the elbow and made the shot his team couldn't for most of the second half, putting Kansas up by nine and ensuring the Allen Fieldhouse crowd could chant "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" yet again.
Sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe made a leaning jumper from the free-throw line midway through the first half—a shot he didn't have the confidence to take last year. A few minutes earlier, freshman forward Perry Ellis made a jumper from just inside the three-point line. Later in the half, senior guard Travis Releford and McLemore made back-to-back midrange jumpers.

Withey blocks 12 shots, becomes second Kansas player to record triple-double
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
With less than eight minutes remaining in the game, San Jose State's Xavier Jones drove to the basket before being stopped along the baseline by a pair of Kansas defenders, including senior center Jeff Withev.
The Spartans were trailing by 14 points, and Jones was forced to put up a shot.
Withe stretched out his arm as if he were reaching over a volleyball net to stop a spike, something he did many times while playing volleyball growing up in California. His forearm met Jones' shot with a distinctive thud.
The thud gave Withey his tenth block of the night and recorded his first career triple-double. This was the second time any Kansas player accomplished this feat.
"I've been wanting that for a while now and only me and Cole that have it, so it's pretty special to me," Withey said.
Withey finished his day with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 12 blocks, leading the Jayhawks in all three categories.
His 12 blocks set a new Kansas record.
"They kept on driving in and I just kept on blocking." Withey said. "It's what I do."
He was the lone consistent player all night for Kansas in its 70-57 win against San Jose State. The team got out to big leads at the outset of each half before watching the Spartans make runs to crawl back into the game.
"I thought Jeff was terrific," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Getting where he's scoring a little bit better, but more important, he's just active and did a good job covering up for a lot of mistakes, because we made a ton of them defensively."
The blocks spurred the Jayhawks' fast break offense, allowing them the opportunity to get out in front of the San Jose State defenders.
The Jayhawks didn't take advantage of all their opportunities to run the court like Self wanted.
At the end of the day, Self was disappointed with the team's pace, despite the fact that it finished with seven more possessions than its season average.
"They were just phenomenal around the rim," San Jose State coach George Nessman said. "On the sideline, I thought that some of those shots were about to go in and then bang, they're going the other way. Some of those blocks were like outlet passes for their fast break."
While he made it hard on San Jose State to throw up a shot, Withey's aggressiveness to make the block occasionally drew him out of position, allowing a Spartan defender to slide behind him and grab an offensive rebound.
San Jose State finished the day out-rebounding the Jayhawks, grabbing 18 off the offensive glass.
"When you block 16 shots,the
other team gets a lot more offensive rebounds, so that's skewed a little bit because if you block it out of bounds, that's an offensive rebound." Self said.
When Withey couldn't grab the rebound, he didn't have much help from his teammates as the balls ricocheted back off of the rim or the glass.
"Most of the time, I'm guilty of it too," senior guard Elijah Johnson said. "We get caught standing around watching Jeff, like a fan or something. That's when we need to snap back into it because he can't do everything on his own. Jeff saved us a lot of times."
ZACH PETERS TO LEAVE KANSAS
Kansas athletics announced that freshman forward Zach Peters will leave the program after the fall semester. The news came after the game against San Jose State Monday night.
Peters' season was derailed by
multiple concussions and a shoulder injury, which forced him to redshirt this season.
"I was looking forward to a great college experience here," Peters said in a press release. "But with all the injuries, including the concussions, that I have dealt with lately, I feel like in order for me to move on and be able to get over all this, I need to go home and basically heal."
Self said if it were his son, he would've made the same decision.
Peters will not transfer and attempt to play somewhere else. instead returning home to recover.
"I don't think this is a bad move on his part at all," Self said. "I know his family was hoping it could work out differently, but I don't think that he was feeling it, there was too much concern about getting hit again."

Coach Charlie Weis prepares for the last game of the season against West Virginia on Saturday, Dec. 1. Weis said that even after a weekend off for Thanksgiving, the players are ready for the game.

Weis preps for WVU
FOOTBALL
bschuster@kansan.com
That most likely wasn't what Weis said at the dinner table on Thursday, but he was certainly thinking it.
After a crushing 51-23 defeat on senior night in Lawrence, it would have been challenging to get the Jayhawks mentally prepared for quarterback Geno Smith and the West Virginia offense.
Charlie Weis is thankful Kansas didn't have a football game Saturday.
"You only can get the guys up psychologically in a short time span so many times without them being flat," Weis said during Monday's Big 12 teleconference call. "I think we were set up to be flat last week. Now they've had a chance to get away and get it out of their system."
Instead the Jayhawks' systems were filled with turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie, but Weis planned to help the players digest that with a
"Two things are accomplished," Weis said. "We got a good practice in on a Monday, and it got them out of the Thanksgiving doldrums that you have by laying around the couch and eating too much."
5:30 a.m. practice yesterday morning to get their heads and stomachs back on track.
Monday's are typically a day off for the players, but because Weis allowed his team to return to Lawrence on Sunday night, the vaunted Sunday scrimmage was pushed back a few hours.
Although it's not as if Kansas is lagging in it's preparation for West Virginia. Weis actually gave the team a head start before cutting the players lose for the break. The Jayhawks spent two practices last week getting familiar with WVU. Weis also said he's sure the team spent Friday watching the Mountaineers' 31-24 victory over Iowa State, the team that whipped Kansas two weeks ago.
If they did watch West Virginia, players probably took notice of
Tavon Austin, WVU's versatile wide out, who also gets plenty of action in the backfield.
Austin accounted for 261 yards and a touchdown against the Cyclones, including his kick and punt returns.
"He's faster than most people on the field," Weis said. "That's unusual talent, unusual speed and he's a very dynamic player. He's a pain in the butt that you always have to account for."
But he's not the Jayhawks' biggest concern.
Kansas will continue its WVU preparation with the same question it has every week: How can we attack the ground this Saturday?
"We try to figure out how we are going to run the ball against West Virginia," Weis said. "Then the rest of the game plan just falls off of that."
Weis probably didn't say thanks for this either, but more often than not, he finds that answer.

The concept of pregaming has become more popular because people do not wanting to pay more for drinks when they go out. According to the Los Angeles Times, college students who are ages 18 to 24 drink more than those who are the same age and not in college.

He said he would rather spend time with his friends than getting drunk.
After he turned 21, Joey Berger, a junior from Lawrence, said he decided to stop pregaming and started drinking more socially.
Pregaming, or drinking before going out, is most common with
underage college students and leads to risky behavior, said Jenny Donham, health educator at Watkins Memorial Health
"They're finding all different kinds of things about themselves including their response to alcohol."
Addiction specialists believe
between 65 percent and 75 percent of college-aged people take part in pregaming, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Students in college between the ages of 18 and 24 drink more than individuals who are the same age and not in college. Donham said. There's a social expectation to drink in excess while in college.
"There are social influences to promote pregaming," said Joey
Berger, a junior from Lawrence. "You can't drink when you're underage and at a place."
Donham said pregaming is more common with underage students because of a limited availability of alcohol, smaller work load in lower-level courses and an introduction to new freedoms.
"They're testing their own boundaries," Donham said. "They're finding all different kinds

it works, but sometimes you just keep drinking."
Manoogian said pregaming is a good time to start planning out the night. Kolton Kontour, a junior from Augusta, said he pregames to start the night and lighten the mood.
"It's almost like building up to the climax," Kontour said. "It's the start, and then you go to have a few drinks, then more and more. Finally you wind down and go home for the night."
She advises that people eat before they drink, have a plan before they get drunk and keep track of how many drinks they are consuming.
According to CBS News, a study done in Switzerland found that college-aged individuals who drank while they were out had an 18-percent chance of having a negative consequence.
However, according to the survey, people who pregame before going out overall had a 24 percent chance of a negative consequence.
Pregaming can often go against planning protective behaviors, Donham said.

Senate to discuss new campus entities
NIKKI WENTLING
nwentling@kansan.com
In its last full meeting of the semester, Student Senate will see two bills that would create new entities within the Senate structure. The final meeting of the
semester will take place today at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at 6:30 p.m. Here's a closer look at the major items that will be discussed.
STUDENT SURVEY BOARD
ALEXANDRA WILLER
The authors of this bill said they want this to be an avenue to get more input from students.
The Student Survey Board would conduct focus groups and survey students to get their opinions on Senate initiatives and expenditures.
Will Easley, one of the authors of the bill, said that only a small portion of the student body votes in elections, so this would give a larger number of students the opportunity to have their voices heard.
"We thought we needed to reach out more and have a greater number of students have a say in how their money is spent, because fees are a sizeable chunk of money," Easley said.
The board would be required to conduct at least one survey per semester and report its findings to the full Senate.
Easley also said this would be a good way for senators to receive input on platform issues.
"Students can say, 'Hey, this is what we want out of the University,'" Easley said. "And whoever decides to run on that platform will have a great advantage."
Bolton
The bill passed the Student Rights Committee meeting on Nov. 14, but not without some discussion. Easley said that a few people were concerned that the only people who would participate in the surveys would be those who voted in the Student Senate election; therefore, input would not be heard from more students. The concerned parties said that this was the case at other universities.
"A lot of universities do not have a specific board whose only responsibility is to survey the student body," Easley said. "I think this is much more sustainable; if there is a problem and if we have low turnout, the board can kick around ideas. I didn't see that as a concern."
JUDICIAL REVIEW BOARD
This bill would replace the Court of Appeals, a separate entity from Student Senate, with the Judicial Review Board, which would be under a committee. The student body president appointed five members of the Court of Appeals. Under this bill, the president would appoint three members of the Judicial Review Board, and one nonsenator from each of the four committees would join.
Alex Rippberger and Tyler Childress, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senators and authors of the bill, said these changes would connect the board with Senate, allowing the board to be more active.
"The senators don't know what the Court of Appeals is
doing, and we don't know what they're doing, so they only do things they absolutely have to, which is rare," Rippberger said. "It would give the board more of an authority and make senators more responsible and the rules clearer."
Hannah Bolton, student body president, will speak against the bill at today's meeting. Bolton said that the board should remain independent from Student Senate and that committee members the proposed board
on the proposed board would be biased.
"With the guidelines the Court of Appeals currently has, it is much more objective than this because the Judicial Review Board would bring in people who are involved in the Senate process," Bolton said.
Childress said he and Rippberger made some changes since the committee meetings two weeks ago. They included a stipulation that mandates the absence of Judicial Review Board members in a hearing if they saw the bill in question during a committee meeting.
Childress and Rippberger said they are pushing the bill in order to give the board more legitimacy. However, Bolton said she does not see the need to change the current guidelines.
"They do what they're supposed to do now," she said. "I don't think it should be replaced."
"We've added the language in to alleviate the concerns of the student body president that they might be biased." Childress said.
POSTSECRET
Student Senate will look at a bill to fund a project by Active Minds at the University. The student group wants to purchase access to the "PostsecretU" blog, where students can make their own Postsecret notes and post them online.
The bill passed the Finance Committee meeting on Nov.14. The request was originally for $755, but the sum was decreased to $235 during the committee meeting.
The group would like to put this in action for next semester.
"KU Active Minds wishes to improve the social growth of the students at KU by offering a blog where they can share their secrets, and this would allow every student to anonymously share their secrets and be liberated through a very successful and popular blog," the bill reads.

In this Feb. 11 file photo, Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, addresses the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington. For decades, Norquist drove to drive Republicans out of office if they didn't pledge to oppose tax increases.
Republicans soften stance on taxes
It's quite an about-face for senior members of a party that long has stood firmly against almost any notion of tax increases. And while GOP leaders insist they still don't

Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker says the only pledge he will keep is his oath of office. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says no one in his home state of Virginia is talking about what leaders in Washington refer to simply as "The Pledge," a Norquist invention that dates to 1986. Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss says he cares more about his country than sticking to Norquist's pledge.
"Oh, I signed it," Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said on Fox News about Norquist's pledge, adding he still supports its goals. "But we've got to deal with the crisis we face. We've got to deal with the political reality of the president's victory."
But now, several senior Republicans are breaking ranks, willing to consider raising more money through taxes as part of a deal with Democrats to avoid a catastrophic budget meltdown.
The naysaying about the pledge is raising the question of whether Norquist — a little-known Republican outside Washington — is losing his position of power within the GOP. It's a notion he calls ridiculous.
WASHINGTON — For decades, conservative lobbyist Grover Norris vowed to drive Republicans out of office if they didn't pledge to oppose tax increases. Many lawmakers signed on.

Republican legislators and Democratic President Barack Obama's White House are haggling vigorously as they look for ways to reach agreement on detailed tax adjustments and spending cuts before automatic, blunt-force changes occur at the new year.
- A 25-year-old Topeka woman was arrested Tuesday at 2:17 a.m. in the 900 block of Vermont Street on suspicion of driving with a suspended or revoked license and no insurance. Bond was set at $200. She was released.

"Corker was elected to the Senate because he took the pledge," Norquist said on Fox News. "He would not be a senator today if he hadn't made that commitment.

Hundreds of Bangladeshi mourners watch as the bodies of a part of the victims of Saturday's fire in a garment factory are buried in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on Tuesday.
112 killed in clothing factory fire
ASSOCIATED PRESS
...
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DHAKA, Bangladesh — Clothing is king in Bangladesh, a country that exports more garments than any other in the world except China. It is responsible for four out of every five export dollars and has turned factory owners into members of parliament and leaders of sports clubs.
Associated Press
That strength has often been turned against the workers in those factories, especially those who complain about poor working conditions and pay that can be less than $40 a month. A law-enforcement agency called the Industrial Police is specifically assigned to deal with unrest in factories, and labor activists accuse government forces of killing one of their leaders. Employees are barred by law from forming trade unions, even though Bangladesh allows workers in other industries to unionize.
Workers hope that could change following the industry's latest tragedy, a fire Saturday that killed 112 people at a factory that made T-shirts and polo shirts for Wal-Mart and other retailers around the world. But they have their doubts.
"The owners must treat the workers with respect. They should care about their lives and they must keep in mind that they are human beings. They have families, parents and children," said Nazm Akhter, president of Combined Garment Workers Federation. "Is there anybody to really pay any heed to our words?"
There have been many garment-factory fires in Bangladesh — since 2006, more than 300 people have died. But Saturday's was by far the deadliest, and has drawn international attention to labor
practices as the government tries to encourage Western countries and companies to expand their relationships here.
The Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory had no emergency exit, and workers trying to flee found the main exit locked. Fire extinguishers were left unused, either because they didn't work or workers didn't know how to use them. One survivor said that after the fire alarm went off, managers told workers to get back to work.
In an interview published Tuesday in Dhaka's Daily Star newspaper, the managing director of Tazreen Fashions expressed concern — about possibly losing foreign buyers. "I'm concerned that my business with them will be hampered," said Delwar Hossain. But there was no mention in the
article of concern for victims or their families.
Tazreen has not responded to repeated requests from AP for comment.
Bangladesh's $20 billion-a-year garment industry accounts for 80 percent of its total export earnings and contributes a major share of the country's $110 billion GDP. This from an export market created only in 1978, with a consignation for 10,000 men's shirts.
The factory owners are a powerful group, holding parliamentary posts in both major parties. The head of the prominent Dhaka sports club Mohamedan is in the business; so is a former president
By 1982, the country had 47 readymade garment factories. In three years the number rose to 587. Now it has more than 4,000.
of the national cricket board.
An important reason for their success is cheap labor. Almost a third of the South Asian country's 150 million people live in extreme poverty.
The minimum wage for a garment worker is 3,000 takas ($38) a month, after being nearly doubled this year following violent protests by workers. According to the World Bank, the per capita income in Bangladesh was about $64 a month in 2011.
On Tuesday, as Bangladesh held a day of mourning for the dead, 10,000 people, including relatives and colleagues, gathered near the site of Saturday's blaze, many wearing black badges as a sign of mourning. Security forces were deployed, but no clashes were reported.

Chernobyl cleanup making progress
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR POWER STATION, Ukraine — Workers have raised the first section of a colossal arch-shaped structure that eventually will cover the exploded nuclear reactor at the Chernobyl power station.
Project officials on Tuesday hailed the raising as a significant step in a complex effort to clean up the consequences of the 1986 explosion, the world's worst nuclear accident. Upon completion, the shelter will be moved on tracks over the building containing the destroyed reactor, allowing work to begin on dismantling the reactor and disposing of radioactive waste.
Suma Chakrabati, president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which is leading the project, called Tuesday "a very significant milestone, which is a tribute to the ongoing commitment of the international donor community, and an important step
towards overcoming the legacy of the accident."
The shelter, shaped like a gargantuan Quonset hut, will be 257 meters by 150 meters (843 feet by 492 feet) when completed and at its apex will be higher than the Statue of Liberty.
The April 26, 1986, accident in the then-Soviet republic of Ukraine sent a cloud of radioactive fallout over much of Europe and forced the evacuation of about 115,000 people from the plant's vicinity. A 30-kilometer (19-mile) area directly around the plant remains largely off-limits and the town of Pripyat, where the plant's workers once lived, today is a ghostly ruin of deteritrating apartment towers.
At least 28 people have died of acute radiation sickness from close exposure to the shattered reactor and more than 6,000 cases of thyroid cancer have been detected in people who, as children or adolescents, were exposed to high levels of fallout after the blast.

President Carter calls for more aid to Haiti
Carter's call for greater aid to Haiti came on the first day of a weeklong effort to build 100 homes with about 600 volunteers from Habitat for Humanity.
LEOGAN, Haiti — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Monday urged donors to honor the billion-dollar pledges they made to help Haiti rebuild after its devastating 2010 earthquake.
It was the second time in the past year that Carter, 88, and his wife Rosalynn have come to help house people displaced at the epicenter of the disaster.
"We've seen numerous governments in Haiti; they have a very difficult time." Carter told reporters, noting this was his
11th trip to Haiti. "I think we should give the government of Haiti some breathing room and give them all the support we can, even if there's some waste of money."
Donor nations and institutions promised $4.46 billion to help Haiti after the quake. But only half of that money has been released, according to the U.N. Office of the Special Envoy for Haiti.
The reasons for the delays vary, ranging from economic problems back home to a wait-and-see approach until Haiti's government gets settled. President Michel Martelly took office in May 2011 but much of his first year was spent without a Cabinet because of political paralysis and infighting.
Carter and the former first lady joined
in the construction of the 100 houses on about 14 acres, hammering away and measuring facades. The Carters and fellow volunteers also built 100 homes during a visit a year ago. The effort will result in about 250 homes in total for what organizers say will be a new community, complete with agriculture production.
Still vast numbers of Haitians remain without permanent housing. About 369,000 people live in the tent and tarp settlements that sprung up after the quake, down from a peak of 1.3 million, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Families help build the Habitat homes and then live in them rent-free for five years. After that, they pay the government about $70 a year.

Ex-mental patient Pat (Bradley Cooper) finds a fractured soulmate in the form of Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) in David O. Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook."
Cooper shines in 'Silver Linings'
Pat (Bradley Cooper) is a man on the mend, freshly sprung from a psychiatric hospital and determined to save his crumbling marriage by committing himself to a life of optimism and relentless self-improvement. Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) is a woman in trouble, a recently widowed policeman's wife who uses sex as a painkiller. Would it surprise you to learn these two were made for each other?
David O. Russell's unmedicated romantic comedy "Silver Linings Playbook" is a rarity for its genre: a warmly observed, genuinely moving love story that refuses to tiptoe around prickly subjects like adultery and mental illness. Like Russell's previous work, most notably his fraternal boxing drama, "The Fighter," the primary focus here is on family, specifically the way our loved ones can act as the driving catalyst behind our deepest anxieties, hopes and fears.
After eight months of court-mandated treatment for bipolar disorder following the savage beating of his wife's lover, Pat moves back home with his doting, enabler mother (Jackie Weaver, so memorable as the gangster granny in "Animal Kingdom") and cranky, sports-obsessed father (Robert De Niro). It's painfully obvious where Pat's issues come from. The De Niro character is hopelessly OCD when it comes to his beloved Philadelphia Eagles, dependent on a variety of game-day rituals to justify his increasingly perilous job as a bookie.
Desperate to avoid taking his

meds, Pat attends a dinner party thrown by his unhappily married friends (John Ortiz and Julia Stiles), and there he meets the crazy-cute Tiffany and the movie begins in earnest. Pat and Tiffany's budding relationship hits all the beats of a traditional rom-com, complete with the looming challenge of a third-act dance contest, yet Cooper and Lawrence avoid cliché by throwing themselves headlong into their roles, achieving a gloriously unbalanced chemistry that anchors the rest of the film.
This is a massive step forward for Cooper, who stumbled earlier this year in the flaccid plagiarist drama "The Words." He brings a sense of credible heartache to Pat, a hangdog dejection that gives way to sudden, manic flights of fancy. I look forward to watching him grow as an actor outside the seemingly interminable "Hangover" franchise.
Jennifer Lawrence, an art-house darling who's proven her chops on the blockbuster circuit with "X-Men: First Class" and this year's "The Hunger Games," gives the best performance of her young career as Tiffany, a pint-sized tempest of roiling emotion. It's difficult to act

simultaneously fierce and vulnerable, but Lawrence sticks the landing with confidence ease. Watching her rehearse a dance routine with Cooper's character while Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan croon "Girl From The North Country" on the soundtrack will stand as one of my favorite movie moments of 2012.
"Silver Linings" is also a welcome comeback vehicle for De Niro, the legendary actor whose recent output has been tending toward self-parody. He's fully engaged here as a father struggling to connect with his son over the gulf of their dueling neuroses. It's fascinating to watch the panic set in when he realizes Pat's commitment to the dance contest will interfere with the Eagles' weekly "jiuji." This is a meaty, dignified role, and I wouldn't be surprised if it lands the ex-Goodfella vet another Oscar nod.
The film also features strong supporting turns from Chris Tucker as Pat's constantly truant friend from the looy bin and Anupam Kher as his sympathetic therapist. The whole production comes together wonderfully, buoyed by one of the better soundtracks I've heard in a while. The only failing here is the ending, which might strike some as a tad simplistic given the depth and quality of what's come before. Overall, though, "Silver Linings Playbook" is the genuine article: a smart, vivacious holiday crowd-pleaser.

Cory and Topanga return to TV
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
After weeks of rumors (that had twentysomethings squealing), the network acknowledged that it is working on a pilot called "Girl Meets World," a sequel to the popular sitcom that aired from 1993 to 2000.
LOS ANGELES — “Cory & Topanga 4Ever” is no longer a silly scribble in a notebook. Disney Channel confirmed Tuesday that it's developing a spinoff of the '90s ABC comedy "Boy Meets World" — and that the original show's central couple will be back.
"I'm going to be a father! Well, on TV at least. The 'Boy Meets World' sequel is officially happening." Ben Savage tweeted Monday. And Danielle Fishel posted a blog on her Tumblr page making her involvement official.
Savage and Fishel will reprise their roles as Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence, the Ross and Rachel of the TGIF crowd. More than a decade later, they'll be the parents of a 13-year-old daughter named Riley, the protagonist of the new show. A nationwide casting search to fill that role is under way.
Although the news has "Boy Meets World" fans in a frenzy, the new show is still in the development phase, so there are no guarantees about its future.
The pilot is being produced by Michael Jacobs, who was the executive producer of "Boy Meets World" — in addition to "Charles in Charge" and "My Two Dads."
There's also no word on whether any other familiar faces might pop up — has anyone started the Shawn (Rider Strong) and Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) petitions?

'Fiscal cliff' created by policy makers
GOVERNMENT
The words nscat cum and "recession" are being thrown around these days like confetti on Super Bowl Sunday. College students should be concerned that it even exists.
Affectionately referred to as "the cliff", the fiscal cliff describes the numerous laws that are set to change at midnight on Jan. 1, or the exact moment it becomes 2013. Some key changes are an increase in payroll taxes, automatic defense spending cuts, and the expiration of the President Bush-era tax cuts. In grand generalities, the intention of the fiscal cliff is to slash deficits. It is widely assumed, however, that such a quick deficit reduction will stunt the United States' economic growth. Some call this "going over" the cliff. In a sense, the cliff is supposed to serve as a deadline that motivates lawmakers to address the issues that make up the cliff itself, such as tax rates, long-term challenges that U.S. fiscal policy continues to face and the growth of the national debt.
Students like us should be concerned because this hasn't happened yet. The short term and the long term remain in question. Lawmakers aren't using the cliff as motivation to compromise some deadline to find creative solutions. Instead, they use the cliff to create fear to further their own policy goals. Democrats continue to beat their "Forward" drums while Republicans march endlessly to Reagan's beat. Democrats repeatedly try to raise the marginal tax rates on the wealthiest; Republicans continually call for spending cuts.
You know the drill: Cut taxes or cut spending, close loopholes or raise marginal rates, private or public. It continues. When C-SPAN doesn't put me to sleep, I switch over to C-SPAN2.
By Chris Ouyang couyang@kansan.com
But this time it's different. It's different because the cliff wasn't created by years of erosion processes. Instead, lawmakers, for one reason or another, decided to create the cliff. They could vote to delay the cliff. They could work to gradually
and methodically adjust certain taxes, exemptions, loopholes, and the spending of certain programs. They could poke and prod at every law in the cliff until a reasonable course of action was determined. Then, with the cliff itself addressed or delayed, lawmakers could turn towards the future. Instead, they cannot do their job — deliberate, discuss, and decide — without putting economic consequences on the line. In a sense, factions within our federal government have ransomed our current economic steadiness, holding our near-future economic possibilities hostage by threatening to go over the cliff if their demands aren't met.
Consider a town that has no fire
station that pays others to put out fires at an increasing price. This becomes expensive. The mayor, however, can't agree with the city council on the best way to finance a fire station. What they do agree on is to set the house on the edge of town on fire. The blaze will engulf the entire town if nothing is done. Eventually they will find a solution because, well, they set their own town on fire.
Our houses aren't being set on fire. True economic disaster will likely be averted. It is unlikely that you walk into Wal-Mart fearing that the dollar bills in your pocket will suddenly be refused. It is improbable that you must return home and pick your best goat to barter for the allergy medicine that you so desperately need.
An observant townperson might say, "Did you really have to set my house on fire just so you all would have a stronger urgency to talk about how to pay for a fire station?" What's happening in Washington D.C. is very similar. The U.S. government is on an unsustainable fiscal path. It can't agree on how to correct its direction. The cliff was born.
It is ridiculous that lawmakers created the fiscal cliff to begin with. It is even more jaw-dropping to watch as lawmakers threaten to go over the cliff to serve their own interests.
Even though I may not have to trade my prize goat for Walmart's Zytrec any time soon, I will be looking for a job someday. I will try to deduct my mortgage loan's interest from my taxable income. I will be claiming every single tax credit I can. You probably will too. The policies decided now impact the future. For now, it is our responsibility to show concern for the whim that the U.S. government has for the people it serves. Just caring is a good place to start.

Learn about transgender issues
@ChrisOuyang.
November is nearly over. To most people, this might mean a variety of things: finals are approaching. Stop Day is nearly here, winter is coming—but I can guess what isn't on most of your minds.
By Katherine Gwynn
kgwynn@kansan.com
"Aw, Transgender Awareness Month is coming to an end!"
November is officially Transgender Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to trans issues, needs, and persons. And awareness is certainly needed, as most non-trans individuals have no idea what trans issues and needs are; hell, a lot of you might be unsure what transgender actually means. Let's do a little terminology breakdown.
Sex is the biological makeup of a person's anatomy including hormones, DNA, internal reproductive organs and genitalia. Gender is the social and cultural construction of identity a person chooses or has placed upon them, most typically distinguished as a masculine or feminine one.
So, for example: my sex is female, my gender is feminine, and society and I feel comfortable labeling me as a "woman". Transgender is an umbrella term for anyone who's gender expression varies outside of the female equals woman/male equals man system typically thought as "normal" by society.
However, gender outside a strict binary makes the majority of people in our society uncomfortable. If we see someone who appears to be distinctly masculine wearing a dress, we question (or mock) it. If we see someone who seems distinctly feminine speaking with a deep voice, we scratch our heads (or try to figure what the "problem" is). And, for those individuals who have an androgyne gender, who we are unsure are male or female-bodied, we react as if we're entitled to have an explanation (or, in some instances, that we're entitled to act violently).
But the fact of the matter is that a person's gender is not equivalent to their genitalia. Just because you have a penis doesn't mean you are a dude, and just because you have a vagina doesn't mean you're automatically a lady. A lot of people with vinasas do identify as women, just as many people with penises identify as men, but sex and gender is a not a Point A to Point B construction. Biology is fixed. Gender is not.
More people than ever are identifying as trans and are doing so at younger ages. This directly affects college campuses, where lots of young people, plus interacting with a greater diversity of people than ever, plus the unique opportunity to build a new identity, often equals the first instance that trans youth feel they can begin to conceptualize the idea of being trans and being out about it.
I can't make a breakdown of all the issues, politics and changes that need to be done concerning trans individuals, as that would probably take up more than a week's worth of the Kansan, and still would be insufficient. But, there are a few simple things you can do to prevent being an unintentional douchebag and help trans people.
If you see someone, and think they might be trans, or you're unsure how they identify, guess what? Not your business. I don't care if you're about to pee with curiosity—just stop. If it happens
1. DON'T ACT AS IF SOMEONE'S GENDER IDENTITY IS YOUR BUSINESS
that this is not just a stranger, but is someone you want or need to interact with, listen to see how they self-identify. If that doesn't make it clear, you can politely ask "What gender pronouns do you prefer?" Then use those pronouns.
2. IF SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS TRANSITIONING, ACKNOWL-ED IT
If someone you know starts to transition to a new gender identity, they might go through a whole slew of changes, in physical appearance, in pronouns, even in their name. And yeah, if you've known Natalie since kindergarten as Nathan, it might take a while to get used to. But just try. Validate their new identity. And if you mess up, and refer to them as their old name, or pronoun, just apologize and move on.
3. EDUCATE YOURSELF
The internet is a beautiful place, and not just because it has a seemingly infinite amount of cat videos. There are tons of resources to learn more about trans people and issues, and all for the low, low price of free! Gendercentre.org is a great resource, including an online suggested reading/viewing book and film list, and lots of kits and fact sheets. GLAAD.org also has a good section on their website devoted to some basic Trans 101, as well as links to resources. Also, your lovely campus has a kick-ass Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies department—why not take advantage, and take a class that has content relevant to trans people?
So go out, and finish Transgender Awareness Month with a bang; you'll be the coolest progressive kid on the block.

HUMOR
Say no to Internet abuse in classes
By AJ Barbosa
abarbosa@kansan.com
It's common to hear someone urge you to "be confident, but not too confident."
It's an easy phrase to understand, unless you're like me and you overanalyze stupid things like good advice. Obviously, that phrase implies that things can often go wrong if you're overconfident. But confidence isn't a tangible object; there's no barometer for measuring where you or anyone else stands. It's all relative.
I think I have a pretty good idea of what "too confident" looks like. And it looks like a Macbook Pro in Budig 120.
Unless you transferred here as a junior and already knocked out your gen-ed requirements, or unless you're majoring in some obscure field that doesn't require the typical freshman "weed-out" classes, you've likely spent a good amount of time in the crowded lecture halls of Budig or Wescoe. Most professors who teach these courses allow students to use their laptops, and since there are so many students, there's really no way to make sure people are diligently taking notes and not messing around on the Internet.
Or if they're "too confident" — carelessly and publicly clicking through anything and everything — they shouldn't be.
If you've never sat behind someone with negligent classroom-browsing habits, ask your friends; almost everyone who's slowly withered away in Budig 120 for a semester and sat behind some creep who spent the entire class period furiously stabbing the right-arrow key as pictures from some clueless blonde's (aptly-named) "HAMMERED ON THE BEACH: CABO 2012!!!!" Facebook album. It's uncomfortable, but trust me: It gets even weirder once they stop, tap the left-arrow until they're back to a swimsuit shot, and sit there staring — idly and creepily — at her sun-kissed boobs.
I've seen a good number sketch-balls do this throughout my never-ending, miserable journey to fulfill my elective requirements. Luckily for me, that's the weirdest it's ever gotten.
But, like most things in life,
there's always someone out there
who has it worse than you.
I've heard stories from people who were left stunned, confused and discomforted as the random person in front of them thoroughly analyzed every megapixel of their own Facebook profile. Your pride tells you that, if you caught the person in front of you Facebook-creeping on your profile, you'd have the stones to stop them and ask them what in blue hell they're doing. Think about it realistically, though; you'd probably be so weirded out that you wouldn't know what to do. You'd just sit there as you're getting cyber-violated before your very own eyes.
If you're sitting behind someone who's confidence has reached a new zenith, they may even choose to combat the soulsucking boredom of a Math 105 lecture with a visit to their favorite porn sites. This is rare because, obviously, most people have a little self-pride and wouldn't dare indulge their smut habit in public, especially when there's a remote chance someone behind them will catch on. But, if you've learned anything so far in life, you know that there's always a few people out there who never fail to destroy your faith in the human race.
I've long since bought into the school of thought that eloquently professes "snitches get stitches," so I'm not going to encourage you to rat them out. But, if you're stuck behind someone who's right in the nitty-gritty of a poorly-produced shower scene, you might want to say something. We go to class for a lot of reasons — to learn, to daydream, to check Twitter
— but I'd challenge you to find one person who enjoys watching their porn at 11 a.m. over someone's shoulder in the middle of a psychology lecture.
The deadline for spring transfers at Mizzou is this Saturday, though. So, if you know one of these people, you still have a few days to do something about it. On behalf of everyone who's ever been stuck sitting front row to someone's laptop-porno session: Please do something about it.

Freshman forward Zach Peters goes in for a layup against AMW Team Frace in an exhibition game this summer. Peters will no longer play for Kansas after the end of the semester.

For freshman Zach Peters, his time as a member of the Kansas men's basketball team came to an abrupt end before it really broke

had a chance to begin.
The 6-foot-9 forward from Plano, Texas,
announced he would be leaving the Kansas program at the end of the fall semester after the Jayhawks' game against San Jose State on Monday night.
Peters came to his decision after traveling home to meet with his family over the Thanksgiving break following the Jayhawks victory in the CBE Classic tournament in Kansas City, Mo., last week.

Christian Academy, Peters was planning on redshirting this season as he recovered from a shoulder injury as well as four concussions he suffered in the past year, two of which have come since he
Peters
A four-time all-state selection in high school at Prestonwood
arrived on campus in the fall.
"This is unfortunate for Zach and our team," coach Bill Self said. "I personally thought that Zach had a chance to be a very good player at the University of Kansas. It's a shame that these
health issues have kept him from doing so. While the shoulder has improved, he's still not 100 percent."
Self did not believe the lack of playing time factored into his decision.
"I hate that this is happening. I have really enjoyed my time at KU." Peters said in a press release.
"I was looking forward to having a great college experience here but with all the injuries, including the concussions, that I have dealt with lately. I feel like in order for me to move on and be able to get over all this, I need to go home and basically heal."
Peters will not transfer to another school in an attempt to play. Instead he will first return home and focus his attention on healing.
The 240-pound Peters was expected to bring some physicality to the Jayhawks in the low-post. He was the team's second-leading rebounder on their 2012 European exhibition trip, averaging 6.3 boards in the team's four games against the Swiss National team and AMW Team France.
He also averaged five points per game in the exhibition contests.
"If it were my son, I'd tell him to do the same thing," Self said. "I don't think it's a bad move on his
part at all. I know his family was hoping that it could work out differently, but I don't think that he was feeling it. There was too much concern about getting hit again."
Peters, who led his high school to Texas Association of Private and Parochial school state titles his sophomore and senior seasons, was also a standout wide receiver on his high school football team. He finished his senior year with 13 touchdown receptions and more than one thousand yards receiving.
"I really like all my teammates. This was the best situation I could have put myself in to excel in basketball." Peters said. "I want to say thank you to KU, the coaches, staff, teammates and fans that have supported me. I wish it didn't have to end up like this, but it's important for me to do so for my future."

Free agency pioneer passes away
Michael Weiner, left, MLBPA executive director; Marvin Miller, center, former head of the association; and Donald Fehr, former MLBPA executive director and currently the executive director of the NHL Players' Association, where Miller discussed the 40th anniversary of the first baseball strike. Miller, the union leader who created free agency for baseball players and revolutionized professional sports with multimillion dollar contracts, died Tuesday in New York. He was 95.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Marvin Miller was a labor economist who never played a day of organized baseball. He preferred tennis. Yet he transformed the national pastime as surely as Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, television and night games.
Miller, the union boss who won free agency for baseball players in 1975, ushering in an era of multimillion-dollar contracts and athletes who switch teams at the drop of a batting helmet, died Tuesday at 95. He had been diagnosed with liver cancer in August.
"I think he's the most important baseball figure of the last 50 years," former baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent said. "He changed not just the sport but the business of the sport permanently, and he truly emancipated the baseball player — and in the process all professional athletes. Prior to his time, they had few rights. At the moment, they control the games."
In his 16 1/2 years as executive director of the Major League Players Association, starting in 1966, Miller fought owners on many fronts, not only achieving free agency but making the word "strike" stand for something other than a pitched ball.
Over the years, his influence was widely acknowledged if not always honored. Baseball fans argue over whether he made the game fairer or more nakedly mercenary, and the Hall of Fame repeatedly rejected him in what was attributed to lingering resentment among team owners.
Players attending the union's annual executive board meeting in New York said their professional lives are Miller's legacy.
"Anyone who's ever played modern professional sports owes a debt of gratitude to Marvin Miller," Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Chris Capuano said. "He empowered us as players. He gave us ownership of the game we play. Anyone who
steps on a field in any sport, they have a voice because of him."
Major League Baseball's revenue has grown from $50 million in 1967 to $7.5 billion this year. At his last public speaking engagement, a discussion at New York University School of Law in April marking the 40th anniversary of the first baseball strike, Miller said free agency and resulting fan interest contributed to the increase. And both management and labor benefited, he said.
"I never before saw such a win-win situation in my life, where everybody involved in Major League Baseball, both sides of the equation, still continue to set records in terms of revenue and profits and salaries and benefits," Miller said. He called it "an amazing story."
"Anyone who's ever played modern professional sports owes a debt of gratitude to Marvin Miller."
Slightly built and silver-haired with a thick, dark mustache, Miller
days, was followed by a walkout during spring training in 1976 and a midseason job action that darkened the stadiums for seven weeks in 1981.
Miller led players through three strikes and two lockouts. Baseball has had eight work stoppages in all.
CHRIS CAPUANO LA Dodgers pitcher
Miller, who retired in 1982, led the first walkout in the game's history 10 years earlier, a fight over pension benefits. On April 5, 1972, signs posted at major league parks simply said: "No Game Today." The strike, which lasted 13
operated with an eloquence and a soft-spoken manner that belied his toughness. He clashed repeatedly with Commissioner Bowie Kuhn.
Before Miller took over the
union, some players actually opposed his appointment as successor to Milwaukee Judge Robert Cannon, who had counseled them on a part-time but unpaid basis.
"Some of the player representatives were leary about picking a union man." Hall of Fame pitcher and former U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning said in 1974. "But he was very articulate ... not the cigar-chewing type some of the guys expected."

passed the word that if I were selected, goon squads would take over the game. They suggested racketeers and gangsters would swallow baseball. The players expected a 'dese, dem and dose' guy. The best thing I had going for me was owner propaganda."
He was elected by the players by a vote of 489-136. Baseball had entered a new era, one in which its owners would have to bargain with a union professional.
When he took over, the union consisted of a $5,400 kitty and a battered file cabinet, and baseball's minimum salary was $6,000. By 1968, Miller had negotiated baseball's first collective bargaining agreement. By 1970, players obtained the right to take disputes to an arbitrator.
Nowadays, baseball's biggest stars make up to $32 million a season, the average salary is more than $3 million and the major league minimum is $480,000. While the NFL, NBA and NHL have salary caps, baseball does not.
Miller recalled that owners
Miller's biggest legacy — free agency — represented one of the most significant off-the-field changes in the game's history.

Senior guard Monica Engelman shoots the ball during the first half of the match against the Idaho State Bengals at Allen Fieldhouse on Nov 11. Engelman had 10 total points for the game.
Jayhawks have no illusions about Tigers
Coming off a successful Thanksgiving break-worth of basketball, the No. 20 Kansas Jayhawks will look to improve to 6-0 to start the season for the third consecutive year.
The Jayhawks will square off against the Grambling State Tigers in Allen Fieldhouse tonight at 7 p.m. It'll be a matchup of two different teams seemingly headed in opposite directions as the season starts to heat up.
Kansas senior guard Monica Engelman, who averages 6.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, isn't looking at the numbers and the record of the Tigers as a possible day to go easy. Rather, it's an opportunity to keep taking care of business.
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordvce@kansan.com
"They can struggle against other teams but come in and have the game of their life against us," Engelman said. "Regardless of what's on the front of the jersey, we have to do what we're suppose to do."
Focus and discipline will be the key for the Jayhawks as they try to look past the record of their opponent from the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
The Tigers are 0-4 and have struggled to make shots and get points, averaging just 49.8 points per game and shooting 28.5 percent from the floor.

One of the big focal points will be for the Jayhawks to continue to apply pressure on the defensive side of the ball. The Tigers are averaging 22.5 turnovers per game.
"Defensive pressure is always a key, along with getting turnovers," sophomore guard Natalie Knight said. "You have to play defense to win."
The shooting woes didn't have Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson worried because she knew they were still getting good looks, and eventually those looks would fall.
In the victories over Alabama A&M and Creighton, the Jayhawks shot 50 percent, an improvement from the 36 percent they shot in the first three games of the season.
"We're getting uncontested shots. I would be more upset or angsty if we weren't unselfish enough that we couldn't get anything uncontested and everything was a tough two," Henrickson said. "None of that was the case."
One of the keys to the Jayhawks' success has been feeding the ball inside to senior forward Carolyn Davis. Davis is averaging 18 points per game in 23 minutes of action per game.
Knight said getting Davis easy looks will go a long way in making sure the Jayhaws continue to shoot at a high percentage.
Overall, Kansas is 12-1 against SWAC opponents. However, the Jayhawks are aware that any team can be beaten on any night, so they won't overlook Grambling State.
"You prepare anyone the same," Knight said. "We know to beat someone. You have to be prepared, and we're treating this just like any other game."

"For either one of these teams, it's not really a great scenario," Saban said on a conference call Sunday. "You play your way into the championship game, which means you're the best team in your division. They're the best team in their division. They played their way into the game by a total body of work for the whole season. It doesn't seem quite right, but it is what it is."

Although the matchup for the BCS National Championship Game is almost set in stone with Notre Dame playing either Alabama or Georgia, there's still college football to be played.

Kansas is also playing West Virginia this weekend, so there that's to look forward to.
SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
No. 2 Alabama and No. 3 Georgia will be competing in the Southeast Conference Championship Game on Saturday in the Georgia Dome. This year's SEC title game is captivating because of its role as a de facto semifinal game to play in the BCS Championship. The winner of this game will obtain two remarkable distinctions: the champion of the best conference in the country and the second team in the national championship game. With two talented, top-five teams competing against one another at a neutral site, it doesn't get
much more exciting than this in the regular season.
PAC-12 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
This year's Pac-12 Championship game is exciting because two teams expected to be in the game, Oregon and USC, are absent. Instead, No. 8 Stanford and No. 16 UCLA will be competing for the Pac-12 title and a berth in the Rose Bowl. In a rare scheduling quirk, these two teams will be facing each this Friday after also playing against each other at UCLA last Saturday. UCLA is looking to bounce back against the Cardinal after being defeated 35-17 in the teams' last meeting.
BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
No. 12 Nebraska and unranked Wisconsin will face off on Saturday in the Big Ten Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Wis. The conference's representative in the last two Rose Bowls has had a bit of a down year going 7-5. The ineligibility of Ohio State and Penn State also helped Wisconsin secure a spot in the championship game. Nebraska showed stark improvement in the team's second season in the conference, going 10-2 and earning an opportunity to win the school's first conference championship since its Big 12 title in 1999.
TEXAS AT KANSAS STATE
KU
In an interesting non-championship game matchup, the Texas Longhorns will travel to Manhattan in hopes of spoiling K-State's chances at its first Big 12 Championship since 2003. The Wildcats are looking to respond after a 52-24 loss to Baylor knocked them out of the running to play for the national title. Texas is looking to rebound from a disappointing Thanksgiving weekend loss to an undermanned TCU team.
OKLAHOMA AT TCU
If Texas can upset K-State, a win by Oklahoma over TCU would enable the Sooners to represent the Big 12 in the BCS, most likely at the Fiesta Bowl. A K-State win would eliminate Oklahoma's opportunity to earn an at-large bid in the BCS, but look for Oklahoma to come out inspired after last week's emotional overtime win over rival Oklahoma State.

Conference realignment may produce Big 12 championship game
100
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State coach Bill Snyder still believes the Big 12 should ultimately expand to at least 12 teams, creating two divisions and a conference championship game.
Snyder said Tuesday that "there are a number of programs in our conference who have and would profit from that type of system," pointing out that teams with multiple losses would generate more interest late in the season by still having a chance to play for a championship.
"You walk out here and you walk through the lobby and you see a trophy case here, and if we didn't have divisions that would probably be a single trophy case," Snyder said. "We had a chance to play for division championships, and then conference championships, and that was positive."
The 73-year-old Snyder has seen the Big 12 go through a dramatic series of changes since he took over the once-downtradden Kansas State program in the late 1980s.
When the old Southwest Conference disintegrated, the Big Eight expanded by four teams to become the Big 12, and played a
conference title game every year from 1996-2010.
The game has cut both ways for the Wildcats: They were in position to play for a national championship in 1998 before losing to Texas A&M in double-overtime, but managed to win the Big 12 title and earn a Fiesta Bowl berth in 2003 by upsetting then-No. 1 Oklahoma.
The league has undergone even more change the past couple of years, with longtime member Colorado leaving for the Pac-12 and Nebraska heading to the Big Ten, and with Missouri and Texas A&M joining the Southeastern
Conference beginning this season.
The league picked up West Virginia and TCU to remain at 10 teams, and locked up broadcast rights to stabilize a league not long ago on the brink of extinction.
Maryland is leaving the ACC and Rutgers the Big East to establish a 14-taiem Big Ten, while Tulane announced Tuesday it would join the Big East, with East Carolina joining as a football-only member.
That's left the Big 12 in a precarious position: Stand pat with 10 teams or expand to 12 or more,
thereby re-establishing its lucrative conference championship game.
"You look at the North Division," Snyder said, referring to the old six-team division of the Big 12. "I would suggest there are probably four schools that profited by that system. It gave teams opportunities. When I first came back, we were 6-6, not a very good team, but the last game of the season we were playing for a division championship. That has some meaning."
It provides some drama, too.
Rather than playing a single winner-take-all game on Saturday, two games will be played with title implications: TCU plays No. 12
Oklahoma early in the day before the Wildcats finish up the regular season against No. 23 Texas at night.
TCU can essentially make Kansas State's game irrelevant by beating the Sooners, because the Wildcats would be assured of at least a share of the title and, through tiebreakers, the league's automatic BCS bowl berth.
And if the Sooners and Wildcats both win, they'll share the trophy.
"I don't know that K-State's game is irrelevant. That's a bit strong." Kansas State athletic director John Currie told The Associated Press.

SKILLS THAT KILL
COMMENTARY Jayhawks should consider Big 10
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
For now, it appears our old friend realignment has cleaned up his act and is now here to pay us back for the nonsense he used to put us through.
A WINNING SET
While you were home for Thanksgiving, eating those home cooked meals, drinking your "beverages" and watching football, your old friend decided to stop by Lawrence. You may have missed him, but he left a note. He even dropped off some of his belongings.
This is why Kansas should leave its Big 12 roots to go to the Big Ten. To get away from Texas. To move toward stability. And to join a more prestigious academic league. Not to mention the lucrative Big Ten Network that will help increase Kansas' national visibility.
This is your old friend that used to get in trouble at home and used to come stay at your place for a couple of days. Then, he grew older and it became a nuisance; he made you uncomfortable, and sometimes you worry about your safety. Well, he's back, but with a new plan for the future. One that he hopes you will join.
This old pal is conference realignment, and the Big Ten (or 12 - oh, wait, 14) got him drinking the good stuff again. The Big T ten added Maryland, Rutgers and a whole bunch of TV sets to its already powerful repertoire.
The SEC may be the young, flashy pitcher that rightfully wins the Cy Young Award, but the Big Ten is your reliable 20-game winner that carries you through the playoffs.
The Big Ten added a new pitch to its arsenal with Rutgers and Maryland, but it needs something new to complete it. Internet chatter broke out that it may want its final pitch to be Kansas and North Carolina.
You see, a conference is not complete with 14. That's not how this whole shindig is going to shake out. Now the Big Ten wants two more, and if it calls Kansas, Kansas should listen.
Here's the thing: the Big 12 (10) appears to be stable right now. It got a respected new commissioner and poached two solid new teams.
The fact of the matter is that Texas still owns this conference and walks it around on a leash. Texas has its Longhorn Network and likes the Big 12 (10) revenue pie to be split between 10 teams. Not 12. Not 14. Not 16. 10.
When our old pal realignment last came a-knockin' he had another offer. He wanted to bring two new pals from the East Coast to join the Big 12 party. But, Texas...er.. The Big 12 wanted to keep the pie cut at 10 slices. And the conference used the excuse of having a round-robin schedule to cover it.
But most Kansas fans don't realize how close the school was to being screwed when the Big 12 was being read its last words.
With the conference staying at 10, it missed a vital opportunity to get up and play with the big dogs. It may very well one day do that, but for now, it's not.
Six Jayhawks receive honors as the team prepares for its first tournament appearance since 2005

Senior middle blocker Taylor Tolefire spikes the ball over the net in last Wednesday's game against Saint Louis University.
GEOFFREY CALVERT
gcalvert@kansan.com
In 2010, then-freshman libero Brianne Riley asked coach Ray Bechard the Kansas career record for digs. When Bechard told her 1,457 digs, Riley's response back was simple.
Riley did get it, and it only took her three seasons. Now, she and her Jayhawk teammates have the chance to get something else — a deep NCAA Tournament run.
The Jayhawks certainly have the firepower for their first tournament appearance since 2005. On Monday, Riley learned she and junior setter Erin McNorton received All-Big 12 honorable mentions. Also, sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton and junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc earned All-Big 12 First Team accolades. It's the first time since 2005 a Jayhawk has earned first-team honors.
"She said, 'I got that,' Bechard said. "That's before she even knew she was going to be the libero here, so I guess she's got some self-confidence, too."
"I think the coaches definitely had this as a goal for me because I remember speaking to them this summer and they said, 'All-Big 12 First Team this season Jarmoc?' and I was like 'I'll do my best.' Jarmoc said. "Individual awards are great, but where we are as a team is even better."
Team, and Bechard earned the Big 12 Coach of the Year award. On the academic side, senior middle blocker Tayler Tolefree received the Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.
The awards didn't stop there. Outside hitter Tiana Dockery was named to the All-Big 12 Freshman
Bechard said his award reflects the team's success, which came because both the players and the athletic department bought into his message.
"Taylor Tolefree said it when she was younger. She said, 'I want to go to the tournament for my seniors.'"
"We haven't stopped and patted anybody on their back, so I don't expect anybody to do that to me,"

"Because
if this

wouldn't have bought into what we're doing, then things like this wouldn't happen."
The numerous awards are also a testament to the Jayhawks' quick turnaround. After a 15-14 record last season, including a disappointing 3-13 conference mark, Kansas' experience helped it win close matches it couldn't win last year.
Kansas remained mentally tougher this season during those close matches because nine sophomores became upperclassmen, including Riley, the team's defensive leader.
"There's a kid that she'd be the first to admit is not the greatest athlete in the world," Bechard said. "But she is the greatest competitor that we've had in that position. We had other good defensive specialists in the program at the time,
but it was pretty clear to us that she was a cut above everybody else when it came to the whole package of what that position requires from pass to serve to dig to communication to mental toughness, all those things."
For Riley, perhaps the best part of becoming the Jayhawks' career digs leader is the previous record holder. Melissa Manda, is one of Riley's biggest supporters. The two keep in touch, and Manda even got her family to become some of Riley's most vocal fans.
"Actually Melissa Manda's grandpa, he texts me after every game," Riley said. "So that's possibly the coolest thing, honestly ever, that her grandpa is so supportive of me."
Although Bechard kept Riley updated throughout the season about how close she was to breaking both the single-season and career record, Riley didn't chase the records only for herself.
After being on two Kansas teams whose bubble burst on Selection Sunday, Riley wanted to get to the tournament this season for seniors Tayler Tolefree and Morgan Boub. Those two set an example for Riley early in her career by striving to reach the postseason for the seniors at the time. Now that Tolefree and Boub are seniors, Riley is glad she could help those two reach the postseason for the first time.
"Taylar Tolefree said it when she was younger. She said, 'I want to go to the tournament for my seniors.' Riley said. "Now I can say that when I was out there, I was working for her."

Blocking strategies key for Jayhawks
BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com
Two hundred and ninety-seven passes have been attempted by the Jayhawks since the start of the 2012 season. Kansas receivers have caught 81 of those, good for 978 yards.
Yet none of those catches have come within the ten yards that make up each end zone. In fact, Oct. 22, 2011, was the last time a Kansas wide receiver took a pass to the house.
That day it was DJ. Beshears who caught a 13-yard pass right before halftime against Kansas State to bring the Jayhawks within 14 points of the Wildcats.
When quarterback Dayne Crist was brought in, the idea was that he would keep the ball flying toward the end zone, but that plan was nixed after a series of miscues in the passing game and the emergence of the Kansas backfield.
The receiving corps has seen a significant shift because of it. Instead of focusing on routes, the wide receivers have been working on their blocking. For senior Daymond Patterson, it isn't something he hasn't done before.
"My first year in high school we blocked a lot," Patterson said. "We ran a spread offense, but we started running so much that we went back to a power offense. I've been a receiver who blocks. It doesn't
Against a West Virginia offense that averages 40 points per game, the jayhawks will need every advantage they can get. Like Baylor, the Mountainees can put up a heap of points in a hurry.
bother me."
The blocking has allowed running back James Sims to close in on 1,000 yards rushing for the first time in his collegiate career. It will be present on Saturday as Sims tries to exceed that mark. West Virginia knows what is coming.
"I am not going to all of a sudden come out and begin no-huddle and try to throw it on every down," Weis said. "I think that you have to do what you do, and hopefully you do it a lot better, and that would give you the best chance."
"Everybody knows we like to run the ball." Patterson said. "We can get them playing a little closer to the line and try to take advantage of them from there."
But that could actually help Kansas.
Yet Kansas coach Charlie Weis won't change his offense to score the Jayhawks points.
It's not that scoring a touchdown is weighing down Kansas' wide receivers. But none of them are strangers to their statistics.
Cummings isn't the only one. Two weeks ago the Jayhawks brought back Dayne Crist to open up the passing game. Crist connected for 156 yards on nine completions. Weis says he'll be used again at West Virginia.
"It would give them confidence",
senior receiver Kale Pick said of the
wideouts' scoring. "We've had a few
called back this year. I know I'm
definitely thinking about it."
"One touchdown, two touchdowns, it's not going to change what's happened in the past," Patterson said. "If we don't score a touchdown this year, or if we score five this next game, we just need to do what we can to help this team win."
"I would like to get all the receivers a touchdown in the red zone," Cummings said. "I just try to look for who's open and stay within the offense."
Whether Crist or Cummings finds an open receiver in the end zone, however, won't affect how Patterson looks at his senior year. He's working on getting something just as elusive, but way more important.

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Don't be mistaken; Kansas has scored through the air. Running back Tony Pierson has two receiving touchdowns, as does tight end Jimmy Mundine. Only the wide-outs have come up empty in the end zone.
Quarterback Michael Cummings is working on fixing that.

Junior librarian Brianna Riley dives for a dig in last Wednesday's match against Saint Louis University. Riley set the university of Kansas record for number of career digs in the team's last match against Texas Tech.
first-round matchup between the Jayhawks and the Cleveland State Vikings, 3,222 fans watched Kansas defeat Saint Louis. The Jayhawks' normal home, the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, holds 1,300 fans.
Even though the Jayhawes are playing at home, they must get used to playing in Allen Fieldhouse instead of Horeksi. Besides the victory against Saint Louis, Kansas will have practiced for six days in the Fieldhouse by Friday's match, keeping its routine as close to normal as possible despite the change in venue and not playing its typical Wednesday match.
Boub, junior setter Erin McNorton and junior defensive specialist Brienne Riley said the Jayhawks are adjusted to the way the ball moves and the depth perception issues of playing in a larger arena. Now, they are just looking forward to the chance to play in front of what will likely be the largest crowd of the year.
"We are at home and we get to be in our own locker room," Riley said. "We have all of our fans here which makes such a
huge difference."
By earning the tournament's 11th overall seed, Kansas hosts the first and second round. If the Jayhawks defeat Cleveland State Friday and then dispose of the winner of the Arkansas-Wichita State match on Saturday at 6:30 p.m., Kansas will go to Austin,
Texas, for the program's first-ever regional semi-final appearance.
The Vikings' only win against an NCAA Tournament team was against IPFW. Cleveland State did beat major-conference opponents Indiana, Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh and West Virginia, Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh finished in the middle of its respective conferences, while Indiana

"Well you can play anybody this time of year, and if you don't show up you're done," coach Ray Bechard said. "We have every intent of preparing for Cleveland State like it's a quality Big 12 opponent, because that's where they would fit into our league, is a quality Big 12 team."

the Vikings with 4.71 kills per set, which is good for seventh in the NCAA. Cleveland State has two other hitters that average at least two kills per set. Bechard said both the Jayhawks' front and back row would have to work together to slow down Koch's attack while still respecting the Vikings' other hitters.
"If you can't get good touches at the net with her, you better funnel the ball to the area you want to funnel it to," Bechard said. "But she's pretty diverse in that she can

Although this is Kansas' first time ever hosting an NCAA Tournament match and its first appearance in the tournament in seven years, Boub said the layhawks are excited, not nervous, and are ready to play now.
"Enough practicing; we just want to play." Boub said.
If Kansas does beat Cleveland State, a matchup with either Wichita State or Arkansas awaits. The Razorbacks defeated Kansas in the season's opening weekend, but Kansas felt like it controlled the match and should have left with a victory. Bourb said the Jayhawks do hope they can play Arkansas if they beat Cleveland State.
"Well in my mind I would be so excited for that, a chance to beat them and get revenge almost," Boub said. "I think it's in everyone's minds."

Enjoy Lawrence holiday cheer

leer
WYLIE LEMON/KANSAN
Nothing says "Happy Holidays" like awkward family photos, ugly sweaters and fake Christmas trees. Lawrence offers a unique mix of traditional holiday festivities and ironic fun, so be on the lookout this weekend for an early celebration of winter.
Whether they know it or not, I am in a seasonal war with the hipsters and sorority girls of this town. We all have different reasons for taking part in this battle, but despite their supposed needs, they need to back off and quit taking all the ugly Christmas sweaters. It happens every year, and although it may be caused by my poor planning, I can't find any '80s knit sweaters featuring snowmen, reindeer or Santa. How else am I to stay warm this winter, attend Ugly Xmas parties and take awkward family photos? These itchy, steamy, smelly fashion statements have become a hot commodity in college towns, gathering quite the following of moustached hipsters, theme party-planning socialites and at least one weekend column writer. So for all of us who missed out, we'll just have to live through others' ironic joy, Luckily, even though the holidays are a few weeks away and I'm sweater-less, Lawrence is abuzz with Christmas spirit this weekend and there's plenty to bring out the good cheer in us all.
Saturday is a busy day for the holly jolly residents of Lawrence. Starting at 2 p.m., the town is hosting the Ugly Sweater Run, a 5k for those who like to run or just like to wear the sought-after sweaters. The starting line has snow machines and your favorite Christmas tunes blasting, and once runners are done, those of age can enjoy Sam Adams Winter Lager, a sponsor of the race. Same-day sign-up is a bit pricey at $40, but if nothing else, you can go watch and cheer on the joyous joggers as they make their way around town. The race starts at Watson Park at 7th and Tennessee, so come celebrate the holidays and ugly sweaters.
If you're like me and running has always seemed more like punishment than pleasure, don't worry: There are still plenty of non-exercise-related activities. This Saturday also marks the 20th annual Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade. Featuring horse-drawn carriages, cowboys and, of course,
Santa Claus, this unique spin on Christmas parades should be a lot of fun. The Eldridge is also offering a breakfast before the parade, so if you can manage to pull yourself out of bed between 7 and 11 a.m., stop by for a tasty start to the day. The parade begins strolling down Massachusetts Street at 11 a.m., so get there early for a good spot and be sure to bring something warm to drink.
Christmas time goes hand in hand with gift buying, so be sure to check out all of the unique sales going on, too. Sure, your siblings may want some new video game, and your parents could go for a nice bottle of wine, but take a different route this year and give them a unique handmade gift from a local artist or seller. The Lawrence Arts Center and Douglas County
The winter holidays always offer fun times, but trust Lawrence to offer unique twists on more seasonal traditions as the month goes on. We're nearing the end of the semester, so fun times are coming few and far between. However, don't forget to make some time to enjoy the holidays before you head off for break. Whether it's walking down Massachusetts Street and enjoying the lights or drinking too much eggnog in a garishly pink Christmas sweater, make sure your holiday is a happy one.
Fairgrounds are both having fairs this weekend, so check in to see if something fills a spot on your gift list.

Mrs. E's on Daisy Hill will be getting more than $3 million in renovations starting in May and will be complete by Aug. 23. Along with renovations, KU Dining will be updating the menus.
Mrs. E's renovations to begin this winter
RACHEL SALYER
rsalver@kansan.com
Most 19-year-olds don't need a facelift, but after serving thousands of meals daily, Mrs. E's is due for a makeover.
KU Dining will begin more than $3 million in renovations to the dining food court and dining room. The construction on the Engel Road entrance will begin during winter break and may continue over spring break, with the rest of the changes slated to begin after Commencement in May and should be completed Aug. 23.
"We're looking at about 72 days to get everything done," said Sheryl Kidwell, KU Memorial Unions assistant director. "It's going to be a quick turnaround, but well worth it."
But Mrs. E's look isn't the only thing changing. KU Dining is updating the menu, or zones, to add variety and inclusiveness.
A U-shaped bar will be for specialty diets, such as gluten-free, kosher, vegan or vegetarian, and it will include Islamic foods for a halal diet.
But for Clay Center sophomore Shannon Livegood, the most exciting part is the addition of a carving station.
"We are making a conscious
effort to make it all-inclusive," Kidwell said.
"I feel like I'm eating the same thing all the time," Livegood said. "I'd like to see more turkey or beef."
"We are making a conscious effort to make it all-inclusive."
Another addition to the meat department is a BBQ smoker.
SHERYL KIDWELL KU Memorial Unions Assistant Director
"When you'r this close to Kansas City, you've got to get in BBQ game." Kidwell was.
"I think it would be good to have more options where you make the food yourself," said Nora Walthers, a sophomore from Chicago.
Popular favorites like cereal and dessert bars will stick around, but the pasta bar, or "Noodle Niche," will include pasta from around the world as well as stir fry, and students will be able to select their own ingredients.
The deli will change to include toasted sandwiches and Paninis.
And with Mrs. E's being the busiest dining hall, serving about 3,400 meals a day, Kidwell said an expansion in the menu was
needed to keep up with current dining trends.
Kidwell said they were trying to make the space more open and revamp how they do things.
"Most of the cooking and

preparation will be done in front of students." Kidwell said.
"She's been well-loved, but those of us who have been her 20 years know it's time for a facelift," Kidwell said.

Obama to host Romney to private lunch

President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney exchange views during the second presidential debate on Oct. 12 at Hofstra University in Hemostat, N.Y.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will host his former political rival Mitt Romney for a private lunch at the White House Thursday, their first meeting since the election.
Obama promised in his victory speech earlier this month to engage with Romney following their bitter campaign and consider the Republican's ideas.
"The president's campaign, if
"In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward," Obama said at the time.

Obama aides said they reached out to Romney's team shortly before Thanksgiving to start working on a date for the meeting. The two men will meet in the White House's private dining room, with no press coverage expected.
In the days after his loss, Romney told top donors that the president was re-elected because of the "gifts" Obama provided to blacks, Hispanics and young voters, all of which are core Obama constituencies.
you will, focused on giving targeted groups a big gift", Romney said.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama was looking forward to having a "useful discussion" with his former competitor. But he said there was no formal agenda for the lunch.
Many Republican officials, eager to move on quickly after the loss, disputed Romney's comments and urged the party to focus on being more inclusive.
While in Washington, Romney will also meet with his former running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, according to a Romney campaign aide. Ryan is back on Capitol Hill, where he's involved in negotiations to avert a series of automatic tax increases and deep spending cuts that have come to be known as the "fiscal cliff."
Much of that debate centers on expiring tax cuts first passed by George W. Bush, Obama and Romney differed sharply during the campaign over what to do with the cuts, with the Republican pushing for them to be extended for all income earners and the president running on a pledge to let the cuts expire for families making more than $250,000 a year.
Obama and Romney's sit-down Thursday will likely be their most extensive private meeting ever. The two men had only a handful of brief exchanges before the 2012

College campuses stall marijuana use

SPOKANE, Wash. — Young voters helped pass laws legalizing marijuana in Washington and Colorado, but many still won't be able to light up.
With the money comes a requirement for a drug-free campus, and
Most universities have codes of conduct banning marijuana use, and they get millions of dollars in funding from the federal government, which still considers pot illegal.
So despite college cultures that include pot-smoking demonstrations each year on April 20, students who want to use marijuana will have to do so off campus.

"Everything we've seen is that nothing changes for us," said Darin Watkins, a spokesman for Washington State University in Pullman.
"The first thing you think of when you think of legalized marijuana is college students
smoking it," said Anna Marum, a Washington State senior from Kelso, Wash. "It's ironic that all 21-year-olds in Washington can smoke marijuana except for college students."
Voters in November made Washington and Colorado the first states to allow adults over 21 to possess up to an ounce of marijuana, and exit polling showed both measures had significant support from younger people. Taxes could bring the states, which can set up licensing schemes for pot growers.
processors and retail stores, tens or hundreds of millions of dollars a year, financial analysts say.
But the laws are fraught with complications, especially at places like college campuses. At Washington State, students who violate the code face a variety of punishments, up to expulsion, Watkins said. The same is true at the University of Colorado Boulder, where the student code of conduct prohibits possessing, cultivating or consuming illegal drugs.

The University is almost halfway done with recommendations to make campus more accessible to those with disabilities.
According to a press release, the University has completed 21 of the 49 recommendations made by the Americans with Disabilities Act task force.

"This is important as we continue to strive toward an inclusive campus community for everyone," he said.

Bureau offers reward to help find arsenists
A $2,500 reward is being offered to anyone with information leading to the arrest and conviction of a suspected arsonist targeting apartments in south Lawrence.
On Wednesday, the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical department announced The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is offering the reward after more than a dozen suspected arsons occurred between West 23rd Street and West 25th Street and from Iowa Street to Naismith Drive.
The fire department announced Oct. 19 that it was seeking the public's help in the cases and has been working with ATF, the Lawrence Police Department and the Douglas County Sherrif's Department, but has not commented on the number of arsons suspected.
Two weeks ago, The University Daily Kansan filed an open records request for fire reports that showed 12 total fires occurred within the suspected zone. Of the 12, nine occurred at multi-family dwellings, one occurred in an outside dumpster, and one occurred at a laundry facility. Seven of the reports listed arson as a cause for the fires.
Four additional fires occurred in or near the zone in the past two weeks: Nov. 19 at 1026 W. 24th St, Nov. 20 at 2413 Ousdahl Road, Nov. 22 at 2401 W. 25th
Many of the fires occurred in hallways or laundry rooms within the complexes. No injuries have been reported, and no more than $1,000 in damage for an individual fire is listed.
St. and Nov. 25 at 1721 W. 24th St
The fire department has not returned The University Daily Kansan's calls requesting more information on the fires.
Anonymous tips will be accepted, and anyone with information can call the fire department at 785-830-7065, the Lawrence Police at 785-830-7430 or the TIPS Hotline at 785-843-TIPS (8477).
According to the release, the fire department "continues to ask the community to remain vigilant and ensure their smoke alarms are in working order and all combustible materials be removed from hallways and exit ways. Occupants should practice exit drills with family members."

Rhino poaching at all-time high

VAALKOP DAM NATURE RESERVE, South Africa — By the time ranchers found the rhinoceros calf wandering alone in this idyllic setting of scrub brush and acacia, the nature reserve had become yet another blood-soaked crime scene in South Africa's losing battle against poachers.
Hunters killed eight rhinos at the private Finfoot Game Reserve inside the Vaalkop Dam Nature Reserve this month with single rifle shots that pierced their hearts and lungs.
That insatiable demand for horns has sparked the worst recorded year of rhino poaching in South Africa in decades, with at least 588 rhinos killed so far, their carcasses rotting in private farms and national parks.
The poachers' objective: the rhinos' horns, cut away with knives and popped off the dead animals' snouts for buyers in Asia who pay the U.S. street value of cocaine for a material they believe cures diseases.
Without drastic change, experts warn that soon the number of rhinos killed will outpace the number of the calves born — putting
the entire population at risk in a nation that is the last bastion for the prehistoric-looking animals.
"This is a full-on bush war we are fighting," said Marc Lappeman, who runs the Finfoot reserve with his father Miles and has begun armed vigilant patrols to protect the remaining rhinos there. "We here are willing to die for these animals."
From the 1990s to 2007, rhino poachings in South Africa averaged about 15 a year, according to a recent report by the wildlife trade monitoring network TRAF-FIC.
in Africa.
Unchecked hunting nearly killed off all the rhinos in southern Africa at the beginning of the 1900s.
Conservationists in the 1960s airlifted rhinos to different parts of South Africa to spread them out. That helped the population grow to the point that South Africa is now home to some 20,000 rhinos — 90 percent of all rhinos
In 2008, however, poachers killed 83 rhinos and by 2009, the number hit 122, the report says.
Afghanistan bank probe into loan fraud continues
ASIA
KABUL, Afghanistan — Political interference stymied an investigation into the collapse of Afghanistan's largest bank, according to an independent report of how the men at Kabul Bank and their friends and relatives got rich from $861 million in fraudulent loans.
The 87-page report, released on Wednesday, details how politics played
a role in who was charged in the case and why it took prosecutors so long to render indictments. Its findings reinforce the image of Afghanistan as deeply corrupt. If those who carried out the fraud are not punished, it will likely be more difficult for the West to donate money to this impoverished nation where U.S. and NATO forces are trying to extricate themselves from an 11-year-old war.
The bank's collapse and subsequent
bailout represents more than 5 percent of Afghanistan's gross domestic product, making it one of the largest banking failures in the world. Hundreds of millions of dollars were sent out of Afghanistan — some in airplane food trays.
The report depicts the Kabul Bank scandal as a saga about money-grabbing, weak banking oversight, lax prosecution, nepistism and fraud. The cast of characters includes a
poker-playing bank chairman, an Afghan central bank head who feared his life was endangered and fled to the U.S., the wealthy relatives of the Afghan president and vice president, and bank shareholders — some who bought posh properties in Dubai and spent lavishly on themselves and their circle of friends and relatives.

Rastafarian faith surges in Jamaica
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Around him at the sprawling Bobo Ashanti commune on an isolated hilltop, a few women and about 200 dreadlocked men with flowing robes and tightly wrapped turbans prayed, fasted, and fashioned handmade brooms — smoking marijuana only as a ceremonial ritual.
"Rasta church is rising" declared Priest Morant, who wore a vestment stitched with the words "The Black Christ." "There's nothing that can turn it back."
BULL BAY, Jamaica — The robed Rastafarian priest looked out over the turquoise sea off Jamaica's southeast coast and fervently described his belief that deliverance is at hand.
The Rastafarian faith is indeed rising in Jamaica, where new census figures show a roughly 20 percent increase in the number of adherents over a decade, to more than 29,000. While still a tiny sliver of the mostly Christian country's 2.7 million people, Jalani Niaah,
an expert in the Rastafari movement, says the number is more like 8 to 10 percent of the population, since many Rastas disdain nearly all government initiatives and not all would have spoken to census takers.
"Its contemporary appeal is particularly fascinating to young men, especially in the absence of alternative sources for their development," said Niaah, a lecturer at the University of the West Indies.
For the black nationalist Bobo Ashanti commune, the Rastafarian faith is a transforming way of life, where Rastas strive to live a frugal existence uncomplicated by binding relationships to "Babylon" — the unflattering term for the Western world.
Founded 80 years ago by descendants of African slaves, the Rasta movement's growing appeal is attributable to its rejection of Western materialism, the scarcity of opportunities for young men in Jamaica and an increasing acceptance of it.

Dining halls to reduce food waste campus-wide
JENNA JAKOWATZ
jjakowatz@kansan.com
KU Dining is working its way toward a greener future. Through a combination of composting, donations and partnerships with local farmers and community shelters, the University is attempting to reduce its food waste.
Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of Residential Dining, said the University reduces food waste using a food forecasting and menu management system.
"We have a 24-hour rule so [the food] needs to be either used, repurposed, or properly stored or discarded within 24 hours," said Kidwell "All of our facilities are on this food management system."
Residential dining sites also use a five-week cycle menu. Each cycle's worth of food is forecasted us

The University also reuses any food items it can, like storing food that can be frozen or keeping food out continuously during the day so that it can be consumed rather than thrown out.
The University started composting last September at Mrs. E's. This year, North College Cafe at GSP and the Studio at Hashinger Hall are composting as well.
"Historical data helps us every time we forecast to the next time that week or day's menu comes up," Kidwell said. "All of that helps us keep the waste low."
ing historical data and calculations. Once the dining period is over, if the actual amount of food is above or below the predicted level, those numbers are put into the system and adjusted for next time.
"Oliver Hall is doing a pilot program with post-consumer waste that can be used as farm feed for animals," Kidwell said.
Leftover food and production waste, like cantaloupe rinds, bones and outer cabbage leaves, are composted along with any postconsumer waste (food that goes back to the dish room) and certain food packaging materials like chipboard.

Another partnership benefits humans rather than animals. For the last four years, student group Daily Bread has worked with the University to donate food to local shelters.
The Salvation Army and other community shelters in Lawrence see a large amount of their donations come right before the University goes on winter break.
"Things that we provide them are typically things that won't keep for that time period, like bags of lettuce, tomatoes, cereal that's been in the dispensers but hasn't been put out," Kidwell said.
In an effort to further reduce waste, other residence halls have partnered with local farmers.
"We have calculated 10 to 12 tons a month have been averted from the landfill due to our composting." Kidwell said. However, Residential Dining was unable to provide an exact number of how much food waste still ends up in

Students, dig out your ugliest holiday sweaters. The Ugly Sweater Run is coming to Lawrence for the first time this Saturday at 2 p.m.
Beginning in Louisville, Colo,
last year with about 1,000 participants,
the Ugly Sweater Run has decided to go national this year,
and is now visiting eight cities.
The Ugly Sweater Run will be in Lawrence for the first time on Saturday after going national after the first year in Louisville, Colo. Participants wear ugly holiday sweaters while competing in the 5k.
Participants are asked to wear their ugliest sweaters and are given free reindeer antlers and fake mus-taches to add to the silly holiday festivities. The 5k starts at Watson Park on Seventh and Tennessee streets, and it is definitely not your average race.
Sarah Meyer, a senior from New London, Iowa, said that having a beer before running and sledding — plus the hot chocolate along the way — will make this race special. She has not picked out her ugly sweater yet but plans on finding matching long socks to complete the look.
"A lot of times people shy away from races because they aren't intense runners. This kind of event makes it more about the memories than the race." Meyer said.
Kicking off the event with a beer, or hot chocolate for those underage, creates a unique start to the 3.2 mile race. Runners who are 21 and older will receive two free beers, sponsored by Sam Adams. Various holiday-themed stands throughout the race give runners a chance to take a break and join in on the festivities. From sledding on fake snow to running on Christmas tree lined-streets, runners are given the opportunity to make the race
Josh Robinson, a senior from Lansing, has joined an Ugly Sweater team with
a more leisurely,
fun-filled afternoon.
Having run various races in the past, Robinson said he is looking forward to the laid-back atmosphere.
"I've never had beer and running mixed together before," Robinson said. "This should be fun."
Leah Smith, race director
"I've never had beer and running mixed together before."
"It's something fun to look forward to before having to focus on final exams," Strom said.
Once participants have completed the race, competitions such as the best ugly sweater award and the best mustache will take place.
Individual registration fees are $35 in advance and $40 the day of the race. Participants need to arrive one to two hours early to pick up the information packets and special holiday gifts.

Some skepticism over the Mayans
WORLD OVER
The end is near, my friends. School is starting to wind down, and by the time you read this you'll most likely be ready to curl up in a fetal position and cry yourself into a sleep so deep your parents will think it's a coma. You're probably just now starting to think about that term paper due next week; you know the one you've had literally all semester to think about? All the hope and promise of the coming break sees into your study habits, causing you to spend more time pricing out trips to Mexico with your "besties" rather than focusing on that final exam that's worth 30 percent of your grade. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, right? Wrong.
Dead wrong.
Just in case you've been living under a rock for the past four years
(which now that I'm saying that, I think of all the graduate students that probably have) the world is going to end on Dec. 21. At least, that's what the Mayans predicted. Which means all the stressing you did over passing your Western Civ class that you never attended is now just wasted time. All the planning and arguing you did with your friends over whether to go to Cabo or Rio for that week-long bender financed by Mom and Dad doesn't matter anymore, because even if you get there before Dec. 21, you'll still die in Mexico. And let's be honest, no one wants that.
Now before you panic, break up with your significant other and sell all your belongings for money to live it up in Vegas for the next few weeks, let's consider the possibilities.
By Brett Crawford
bcrawford@kansan.com
The first possibility is that may
be nothing will happen at all. The ancient prediction prophesized by the Mayans could be nothing but a sensationalized misinterpretation of what probably was some poor bloke's menial pre-capitalized job. Maybe Joe, the old calendar scribe, got tired of etching dates into a calendar thinking. "Why do I have to write out a calendar for the next 2,000 years? Surely someone else will pick up where I left off!" Unfortunately for Joe, no one did, and now we're all going to die.
Another positive outcome could be that given the introduction of modern time keeping and updated calendars, we've already passed the dreaded Dec. 21, 2012, date and we're all still alive. Many scientists have said that this is likely the case, and that there's nothing to worry about. I don't remember the names of these scientists, per se, but I read about it on the Internet so trust me on this one.
Then again, the last possibility might be the Mayans were correct, and some God-awful catastrophe strikes man off the face of the earth like in that awesome movie starring John Cusack. I can only hope that if the Earth's tectonic plates start to shift that violently that I'll have someone witty as him by my side as everything hits the fan.
But if the world does come to
an end, how will it happen? Will it be a violent climate change? Will it be a giant meteor that strikes the Earth? Will dragons come out of hiding deep beneath London's Underground and reclaim the lands? Will Jake Gyllenhaal, Bruce Willis, or Matthew McConaughey be there to save us from certain death, defying the odds, and at many times science to save our lives? We can only pray.
There's really no way to tell how the dice will fall, but you can rest assured that no matter the outcome there's nothing we can really do about it. Unless of course I run into Tom Cruise and we stave off the alien invasion together. And if that's the case, you're welcome in advance.

Only shop on Black Friday
CULTURE
I think there are some things that should remain sacred in this world and Thanksgiving is definitely on that list. It was a bit shocking to learn stores were opening up at 8 p.m., not on Black Friday but on Black Thursday (aka Thanksgiving).
This is what I think of when I hear the word Thanksgiving: turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, family, friends and storytelling. I do not think of leaving all of this behind at 8 p.m. to be surrounded by people I hardly know in order to save a few bucks on cheap electronics. I save that for midnight for true Black Friday shopping like any self-respecting American.
By Mike Montano
mmontano@kansan.com
The Legends Outlets in Kansas City had a disc jockey, played
According to ShopperTrak, a company that measures shoppers at retail locations, Black Friday wasn't as successful as last year. Retail sales were down but more people showed up. I'm no expert but people like having different options. If my family decides to pass out after our turkey feast and go into a tryptophan coma, I can venture out with friends and have fun doing some late-night shopping; that's exactly what I did this year too.
music, and the coffee shops stayed open. The coffee shop was one of my first stops of course but it this year was one of my favorite experiences doing some Black Friday shopping. The disc jockey not only played some good music but also announced the specials that different stores promoted during this shopping frenzy.
I did not meet up with friends until a little after midnight but I could tell some of the employees were definitely not happy to be working. Some of the stores opened on Thanksgiving at 8 p.m. and I know if I had to work on Thanksgiving, I would be in a bad mood too. If a company treats their employees well, it will keep workers happy, they will provide better customer service and shoppers will come back because of the pleasant experience. Now granted, nobody shows up for Black Friday shopping for
the customer service but I don't think it bodes well for a company to make their employees work on Thanksgiving.
This was the first year that I drove past a grocery store and saw it open with cars in the parking lot. I had to do a double take and I thought to myself, "What is going on?" When did this greed in America begin? I am not sure half of Americans could survive in European countries because the grocery stores overseas typically close around 8 p.m. If you need to grocery shop, the best option is a small convenient store. The lifestyle is different in Europe but Americans could learn a few things about enjoying life a little more and to not be so consumed by consumption. I think the moment we start thinking of Thanksgiving as the day where we can get a good deal on shopping is the day we start to get it wrong. Take time to enjoy the holidays and have fun. Christmas is around the corner so try it out, you might like it.

Leftover turkey has other uses
By Sylas May
smay@kansan.com
Well, it been a week since Thanksgiving, and like many of you, I still have leftover turkey and trimmings in the fridge. You might be tempted to turn it all into turkey sandwiches or stuffing milkshakes like you did last year, but if you want to get more creative with your leftovers, I've got some great ideas for you to try.
A "STUFF-A-SKETCH"
Who didn't love messing around on an Ecth-a-Sketch as a kid? I sure didn't; the knobs would always get stuck, and whatever I was trying to draw would end up looking like the lovechild of a Picasso painting and a circuit board. So I would always sneak off to the kitchen instead and write messages in the leftover stuffing with a knife. If you do this surreptitiously enough, you can get people to believe that your house is haunted and your leftovers have been possessed by an angry poltergeist.
FAKE VOMIT
The last couple weeks of classes are always stressful, and sometimes you need an excuse to get away for a few hours. If you mix stuffing and cranberry sauce together, smuggle the resulting slop into your mouth while the professor isn't looking, and spit it out in the messiest way possible, you'll have no problems with leaving a room or clearing it.
For a more effective variant, leave the cranberry sauce sitting on the counter overnight. If you're lucky, this should attract the germs you need to make some...
If you're already doing the "possessed stuffing" schick, what better way to complement it than with a little Exorcist-style projectile puking?
REAL VOMIT
A "WISHBONG"
Sometimes, no matter how well you've seasoned your bird, you get the feeling that one important herb is still missing. If you've got a nearly intact turkey in the deep freeze, you can remedy this problem by hollowing that sucker out, adding some PVC pipe and having a smoke with it. Plus, by the time you've finished up and the munchies have set in, your "smoked turkey" should be warm enough to make a passable snack.
Don't be afraid to do this with your holiday birds in December, too; even if you don't smoke, a properly prepared birdbong would make a great gift for your relatives in Colorado!
EARPLUGS
Radio stations start playing their Christmas music earlier every year, and, as you know, there's nothing worse than getting "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" stuck in your head before the first of December rolls around. Well, I guess you could say that getting two small chunks of turkey stuck in your head would be worse, but I personally think homemade turkey earplugs are a wonderful way to block out those cheesy carols until it starts to look a little more like Christmas. Be sure to swap them out for a fresh pair every couple of days, and make sure your friends know that, if they need to tell you something while the plugs are in, they should either text you or write it on your new "Stuff-a-Sketch."

RARE CHANDELIERS
PRODUCED BY THE ALFHEMAT
Action Bronson releases album
Action Bronson has created quite the buzz for himself the last few years. He's released a slew of albums and mixtapes, most of which were entirely produced by one producer. He keeps the same formula with his latest release "Rare Chandelier," which is entirely produced by seasoned veteran the Alchemist.
Action Bronson and the Alchemist are an understandable pairing; both of them have styles reminiscent of '90s New York hip hop.
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
Some things just make sense, and this is one of those of things. Throughout the 13-track album, the Alchemist crafts excellent beats with a heavy jazz and blues influence, which is standard for him. The only downfall of the Alchemist's production on this album is that sometimes the beats go on too long.
Thankfully, there are tracks on here with several beat changes. "Eggs on the Third Floor" switches halfway through to a much simpler, cypher-type of sound.
"Randy the Musical" switches beats four times in a matter of three minutes, and all of them sound as if they were played by a live band. On both of those tracks Action Bronson thrives, which make them two of the highest points on the entire album.
"Rare Chandeliers" is Action Bronson's best work lyrically. Bronson creates vivid imagery of outlandish and absurd situations through his clever use of wordplay. If there's one thing you can't call Bronson, it's boring.
Throughout the album, Bronson is constantly saying things that will make the listener chuckle. Before he became known as a rapper, Action Bronson was a well-respected gourmet chef in the New York area, which really shows in his lyrics.
Bronson makes several great lyrical references to dishes that he's previously prepared, and at one point he even brags about how delicious his soup recipe is.
The album relies on the very simple method of great rhymes and great beats in which it succeeds for the most part. "Rare Chandeliers" is Action Bronson's greatest success yet, as he and the Alchemist seamlessly mesh together. Also, it's free. Yes, free.
Action Bronson and the Alchemist are giving away this studio quality album for free. That alone makes it worth checking out.

"bluegrass" was included in the group's name, Hoffman said,
"When we started, we were a lot more bluegrass than we are now.
We were all from more of a rock n' roll background and were just learning how to play bluegrass.

Since Greensky's inception 11 years ago, the band has continued to work their way up. The band has played at Summer Camp Music Festival in Illinois for the past four years.
In contrast to playing a festival, Greensky plays many shows in smaller, more intimate venues. "Both [venues] have their own perks," Hoffman said. "I feel like

Angus T. Jones arrives at the Paleyetown panel discussion of the television series "Two and a Half Men" in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Mar. 12. The teenage actor on "Two and a Half Men" says it "filth" and has urged viewers not to watch it.
Teen star wants out of hit CBS comedy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jones plays Jake, the son of Jon Cryer's uptight divorced chiropractor character, Alan, and the nephew of Sheen's hedonistic philandering music jingle writer character, Charlie. Sheen, who has publicly criticized CBS, was fired and replaced by Ashton Kutcher, who plays billionaire Walden.
NEW YORK — The teenage actor who plays the half in the hit CBS comedy "Two and a Half Men" says in a video posted online by a Christian church that the show is "fifth" and that viewers shouldn't watch it.
Nineteen-year-old Angus T. Jones has been on the show, which used to feature bad-boy actor Charlie Sheen and remains heavy with sexual innuendo, since he was 10 but says he doesn't want to be on it anymore.
In the video posted by the Forerunner Christian Church in Fremont, Calif., Jones describes a search for a spiritual home. He says the type of entertainment he's involved in adversely affects the brain and "there's no playing around when it comes to
"Please stop watching it," Jones said. "Please stop filling your head with fifth."
eternity."
"You cannot be a true God fearing person and be on a television show like that," he said. "I know I can't. I'm not OK with what I'm learning, what the Bible says, and being on that television show."
"Two and a Half Men" survived a wild publicity ride less than two years ago, when Sheen was fired for his drug use and publicly complained about the network and the show's creator, Chuck Lorre. Sheen later said he wasn't still angry at the sitcom's producers and the network and acknowledged he would have fired himself had he been in their shoes.
The show was moved from Monday to Thursday this season, and its average viewership has dropped from 20 million an episode to 14.5 million, although last year's numbers were somewhat inflated by the intense interest in Kutcher's debut. It is the third most popular comedy on television behind CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" and ABC's "Modern Family".
The actors on "Two and a Half Men" have contracts that run through the end of this season.

Students to show off talent
LELLY GRIMM

The University will soon be rocked by local talent from its own students.
Student Union Activities hosts its second KU's Got Talent competition on Friday in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
SUA Films and Media Coordinator Kaitlin DeJong, a sophomore from Liberty, Mo., is excited that the University is hosting the competition this year.
"It was a great success with close to 500 in occupancy," DeJong said. "So we wanted to continue it again this year."
DeJong said there are 10 acts in the show, ranging from dance to BMX, singing and rapping. The winner received $600; second place, $300; and third place, $100.
"There is also a prize for the act with the most fans at the show, so everyone should come out and support their favorite act," Dejong said.
The auditions process took place on Nov. 4 in the Kansas
Room in the Union. After the auditions, the judges selected 10 finalists. The panel of judges for Friday's competition will be Laura Kirk, an actress and KU lecturer; Kaitlin Brennan, the JHK station manager; Cody Charles, complex director for residence life; and Sonja Heath, assistant director of the Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity.
SUA is also excited about the competition's emcee, Xclusive. Xclusive originally auditioned for NBC's "America's Got Talent" and continues to perform with the Dragon House crew previously featured on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance." DeJong said that Xclusive will perform during the show as well.
SUA Films and Media Assistant Coordinator Camden Bender, a sophomore from Shawnee, added his thoughts on the upcoming competition.
"Part of SUA's mission statement is to provide a variety of programming that is able to reach out to different student groups throughout the campus community." Bender said. "We believe that KU's Got Talent provides KU students with an excellent opportunity to showcase their various talents while providing a unique and free form of entertainment to other KU students."

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD Review
THE TIGER AND THE BOAT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
After a terrible shipwreck, young Pi (Suraj Sharma) must befriend a hungry Bengal tiger named Richard Parker in Ang Lee's spiritual epic "Life of Pi."
'Pi'a poignant parable
Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" is a visually resplendent celebration of storytelling as a means of catharsis and survival. It's also the best argument for 3D cinema to come along since James Cameron's eco-epic "Avatar" stuck its digital ponytail in our collective eveleholes back in 2009.
However, while Cameron's film labored under the weight of its own technical extravagance, "Life of Pi" is more like a cinematic walkabout, an intimate spiritual journey where the added dimension beckons the audience into the story rather than simply leaving them outside to gawk. It's uncommon to find a film so aware and alive to the immersive possibilities of the format.
A gorgeously mounted prologue introduces us to Pi (Suraj Sharma), a young man living in the former French Indian territory of Pondicherry with his jookeeper parents and sheepish older brother. An inquisitive youth desperate for a higher purpose, Pi decides to hedge his bets by converting to Hinduism, Christianity and Islam simultaneously, mashing them together and praying to see the face of God reflected in the shards. Instead he sees Anandi (Shravanthi Sainath) a beautiful dancer who soon tears his mind away from religious matters.
Their blossoming romance is cut off at the stem when Pi's father announces that he's moving the entire family to Canada in order to avoid complications over the

impending bankruptcy of the zoo. While crossing the Atlantic, the Japanese freighter carrying the family sinks in the midst of a horrible malsestrom. Only Pi manages to escape, stranded in a lifeboat with no one for company but an assortment of escaped zoo animals, including a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, a matronly orangutan and a ferocious Bengal tiger saddled with the decidedly blase moniker Richard Parker.
From there "Life of Pi" transforms into a sort of freeform moral parable, as Pi struggles to domesticate the increasingly ravenous Richard Parker, who alternately becomes the young man's hunter, savior, scourge and salvation. The big cat himself is the movie's most special effect, a seamless blend of CGI and flesh-and-blood trained tigers. Pi's interactions with Richard Parker also inform the movie's most fantastic sequences, particularly a nighttime hunt for incandescent fish and a living island populated entirely by roving swarms of, no kidding, meerkats.
Lee wisely chooses not to assign
explicit meaning to the majority of these scenes, allowing the viewer to offer up their own interpretations or simply reflect on the on-screen cascade of wildly imaginative, emotionally charged images. Sharma, in his first film role, commands the screen in a way seldom managed by amateurs.
Not everything works. The main plot is hampered with sporadic narration from an older Pi (Irrfan Khan), who's relating the story to a curious novelist (Rafe Spall). These flash-forwards, perhaps a necessity on the page, throw off the story's forward momentum and the concept is justifiably abandoned for much of the second act. It's a shame screenwriter David Magee didn't spend more time ironing out the kinks in these scenes, especially since Khan's quietly assured performance is arguably the best in the movie.
CONCERT
Regardless, "Life of Pi," adapted from the supposedly "unfilmable" 2001 novel by Yann Martel, remains a powerful statement on the ideals of myth, one that takes full advantage of the 3D format without skimping on the storytelling essentials. See this one on the biggest screen possible.

Pitt packs a slow, hard punch
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PETER PARKER
By Alex Lamb
alamb@kansan.com
Brad Pitt stars in "Killing Them Softly" based on the 1974 novel "Cogan's Trade," by George V. Higgins. The movie first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May, and will be released in the United States on Friday.
"Killing Them Softly" isn't exactly the kind of film from which you'd expect a lesson in economics. On the surface, it's an artsy crime flick about a couple of amateur goons (Scoot McNairy and Ben Mendelsohn) who hold up a high-stakes card game and the resulting backlash as mafia enforcer Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) fiercely goes about setting the situation straight.
But those who read between the lines will realize that the poker games, the gangsters and the contract killings represent things like Wall Street, American workers and the bailout. This is much more than a brutal, character-driven mob drama — it's a full-on allegory for the 2008 financial crisis.
Writer/director Andrew Dominik isn't exactly subtle about letting viewers know this. Character conversations about how the economic situation has affected them all and Jackie's powerful speech proclaiming, "America isn't a country. It's a business," smartly personify this point. But the real news reports, presidential speeches and Senate arguments about this topic that sporadically play in the background on TVs and radios throughout make it feel kind of heavy-handed.
The opening credits sequence is ballis enough to jarringly and immediately defy any expectations of a mainstream crime picture while setting the stage for an angry ride. The dark sense of humor simmering throughout the movie becomes readily apparent in the beginning, and then the actual robbery tips the tone towards a more
serious, meaner arena.
Dialogue-heavy scenes showcasing the impressive breadth of talent from an excellent ensemble cast are interspersed with occasional outbursts of extremely bloody violence. This results in somewhat passive pacing, particularly during an admittedly intriguing but loitering subplot about an out-of-town hitman (an irascible James Gandolfini) who can't bring himself away from his drinking and hookers to get the job done.
An insanely slow-motion car crash execution midway through stands out as the breathtaking, gorgeous sequence that won't soon be forgotted, and the bleak, suspenseful third act sure hits with a wallop. As Jackie tracks down the heist perpetrator, he gives him a difficult opportunity to redeem himself.
Pitt can play an aggressive, intimidating tough guy better than most actors, and watching him calmly chew up his opponents is quite
satisfying. McNairy really builds a likable screen presence, and with both this and his "Argo" role, he should be on his way to leading man soon. Ray Liotta and Richard Jenkins give solid performances as usual, but Mendelsohn — better known for playing formidable criminals — steals all his scenes as a drugged-out, mouthy bum.
The thought-provoking allegory doesn't completely resonate and come together until after the film is over, but what keeps this movie in your head is then figuring out all the layered meaning. While Dominik is pretty overbearing in the delivery of his message, to his credit, he packs it with a slow-boiling punch.

Stay updated on holiday style
It's the most wonderful time of the year, and that means that equally wonderful attire is crucial. Family gatherings, holiday parties and delicious meals all call for non-stop photo, ops, which means you've got to be on your best fashion behavior.
Your recent holiday apparel has most likely resulted in something along the lines of sweaters, modest dresses, tights and boots. Ring a bell? I urge you to focus less on giving to others this year and focus instead on your own 2012 holiday attire.
Perhaps previously boring approaches toward winter event wear has been sparked by the sad fact that you're most likely surrounded by family members, neighbors and other boring old people. Think the elderly can't handle high fashion? That's their problem. Happy holidays, guys!
This season has an abundance of prints and colors that are perfect
for the winter season. I recommend trying a statement print or fabric, such as metallic or baroque-patterned. These elements look best in pants, skirts and blazers. If you want to be slightly more subtle, try an all-white or cream outfit. And if anyone mentions the "No White After Labor Day" rule, make sure to alert them that rule is so yesterday. Other stylish colors include burgundy, emerald green and of course the ever-classic all-black option. Any clothing article works for these versatile colors.
As for the actual outfit, skip the loose-fitting belted dress and try something new. A matching suit set is one of my favorite holiday ensembles for this year. Don't panic at the sound of a suit: fashion-forward blazers with matching trousers, pencil skirts or high-waisted shorts are anything but boyish. Adding a pair of patterned tights or an oversized clutch will top off your outfit perfectly. Peplum skirts, tops or dresses will also do, as well as anything velvet, leather or floor-length. Combining any of these

elements gets you to the top of Santa's fashionable list.
So, happy Thanksgiving, merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year to you fashionistas. This is your year, and your time to shine. Don't lose sight of what the holidays are really about — what you wear.

CATCH OF THE WEEK
PATRICK
WHAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT A GIRL?
It would have to be looks, because you can't notice a personality, right? Definitely face, but face is too broad. Probably smile, I guess. I like girls who don't take themselves very seriously, who are fun-loving and intelligent and have their sh*t together.
WHO WOULD PLAY YOU IN THE MOVIE ABOUT YOUR LIFE?
Dan Casey
Not based on looks or anything, but I would want Daniel Day Lewis to because he's the best actor ever. I was on that bandwagon well before Lincoln.

Kansas thumps Grambling St.
COMMENTARY
Big 12 in good shape
Edited by Ryan McCarthy
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
If not, the already-slim margin for error for Kansas football just shrunk.
I wrote about four leads for this column so I would not sound like some Jason Whitlock ripoff, saying things just to get a rise out of people while laughing all the way to the (metaphorical, in my case) bank.
But with the storm of conference realignment swirling again and rumors spreading like a junior high lunchroom, it seemed like as good a time as any to say what I've been thinking as the Big 12's position in this chaos becomes more clear each day.
The Big 12 is in a pretty good spot. Once proud conferences like the Pac-12 and the Big Ten added teams like Utah and Rutgers. The SEC grabbed Missouri and Texas A&M — two schools that don't fit into its culture whatsoever — just to get to 14 teams. The Big East and ACC are just trying to survive. The Big 12 has 10 schools to split revenue with and its 13-year grant of rights ensures no team is leaving until 2024 to 2025 at the earliest.
These words may all be for naught. Conference and school officials could be actively pursuing 11th and 12th members to get the conference back to two divisions, giving Kansas a reasonable path to bowl games most years.
But if that stability equates to complacency, Kansas football is in trouble. Big trouble.
Because as good as Charlie Weis or any other coach could get the football program, playing a roundrobin schedule every year is a death sentence for momentum.
And that sounds great and all, but history tells us the Jayhawks rarely beat the best. They rarely beat the average, either.
This is usually where the die hard fans say something like, "If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best," or something like that.
Remember 2007? That never would have happened in the new Big 12. Kansas had one of its greatest teams in decades, and it wouldn't have sniffed an Orange Bowl with Oklahoma standing in its way.
With the grant of rights signed, Kansas is in a great spot compared to a year ago. Rumors about being relegated to the Big East or Mountain West seem foolish now when they seemed likely then. The conference is secure.
Since the formation of the Big 12 in 1996, Kansas has seven victories against conference teams in the old Big 12 south: Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. But with the way the old Big 12 was set up with north and south divisions, that was OK. Teams like Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri could survive with a good game plan: play easy non-conference games, beat the teams you're supposed to beat, get lucky with conference scheduling and go to a bowl.
But it might be too secure.
That's no longer possible.
KANSAS CITY, HERE THEY COME
RELEFORD'S RETURN
With his third game of the season in his hometown, senior guard hopes for solid last game
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Travis Releford's forearms are a canvas. Wrapped around them in ink are the fountains, buildings and landmarks that dot the landscape of his home: Kansas City.Mo.
Wherever his travels have taken him in his five years as a member of the Kansas basketball team, from Maui to New York City, the senior guard can look down and for a moment, he's home.
"I always want to represent where I'm from," Releford said. "It always reminds me of where I'm from."
Releford returns to his home for the third game this season when the Jayhawks play Oregon State at the Sprint Center on Friday.
In his last trip, he created more fond memories of the place. His play sparked Kansas to the championship in the CBE classic, and he was named the most valuable player in the tournament along the wav.
In addition, Releford's scoring outburst, where he's averaging 17.7 points over the past three games, has helped open up senior center Jeff Withey down low, helping the center to a 25-point outing in the championship game and a triple-double in their first game after the tournament last Monday.
"Just from excitement of being able to play back home and my family and friends supporting me, it was a great feeling," Releford said. "I think that had an impact on why I played so good."
"My teammates are finding me and getting me open lots of
the times. It's not me making the moves; it's them finding me and easy buckets for me," Withey said.

MISSISSippi
But outside of Releford's twogame performance when he brought the Sprint Center to its feet with his play, the Jayhawks have had difficulty consistently creating offense.
Part of the lahaywks' issues on offense stem from the guards inability to penetrate the paint and draw fouls, getting them to the free-throw line.
The teams three starting guards, Releford, senior Elijah Johnson and freshman Ben McLemore, are averaging just over eight trips to the free-throw line combined per game — far too few for Kansas coach Bill Self's liking.
"That to me is probably as telling of a stat to me as why we've been pretty inconsistent," Self said.
Attacking the paint will be important, as Oregon State is one of only a handful of teams that can roll out a lineup featuring multiple players that stand at least 6-foot-10.
Kansas can attack the paint and get to the free-throw line by forcing the Beavers' big men to foul, both by getting them off the court and onto the bench in foul trouble and by forcing the defense to collapse, opening up shots for easy Jayhawk baskets.
"We watched film yesterday, and it's shown us a lot of things that are correctable and showing us ways that we can put ourselves in position so we can get to the line." Releford said.

FOOTBALL
Slowing Austin will be vital Saturday
Senior safety Bradley McDougald motions for the Kansas fans to make some noise as the football team makes its way into the Sunflower Showdown earlier this year.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
Although West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith has snagged all of the attention this season, he couldn't have earned it without the help of wide receiver Tavon Austin. Austin is a triple-threat player who has troubled many defenses this season.
Kansas knows that defensively this is the player Smith will throw and hand the ball off to this Saturday. Austin's speed and elusiveness has helped him succeed this season. Kansas coach Charlie Weis said Austin ranks high among players Kansas has faced this season.
"Most small guys are quicker than they are fast, and what you have to worry about more is them as slot receivers, them having that wiggle and not being to tackle them," Weis said. "Not only is he quick, but he is just blazing fast too."
Austin became a household name after his performance against Oklahoma two weeks ago. Despite a onepoint loss for West Virginia, Austin caught four passes for 82 yards. The most impressive part of the game was Austin getting 21 carries and lighting up the Sooners for 344 yards on the ground.
"If he can make Oklahoma's defense look silly running the ball, then that is a scary proposition," Weis said. "So he runs with toughness, he runs with power and
somebody forgot to tell him he weighs 170, because that is not the way he plays."
Out of eight conference games, Austin leads the Big 12 for all-purpose yards with 2.040 after handling duties on offense and special teams. He amassed 1,670 yards this season
on offense alone.
Kansas defensive coordinator Dave Campo said Austin is similar to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Campo coached the Dallas Cowboys secondary unit and had to prepare his players for Jackson twice per season.
Campo finds himself in a similar position as he's arranged a game plan against Austin.
"That guy is scary," Campo said. "He's not only quick, but he's fast. This guy can do it. When he touches that ball, there will be a lot of people holding their breath."
Bradley McDougald admitted that this is one of the more explosive teams he's gone up against and he credited Austin for that offense. Even though McDougald and his teammates in the secondary have to keep a close eye on him, the entire defense has to follow suit because of Austin's versatility.
The toughest part for Kansas is that the defense has to be prepared for Austin to get the ball at any time.
"We've got our work cut out for us," McDougald said. "Not just the defensive backs, but the linebackers and the defensive line because he will go back into a running back. He definitely has made his point."
It's no secret that West Virginia offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen will use Austin a lot in Saturday's match. He's averaged 23 touches for 300 yards offensively in the last two games against Oklahoma and Iowa State.
Smith's success as quarterback can carry over against Kansas by taking advantage of his supporting cast. And for Smith, Austin is his top go-to guy.
"He is just a dynamic player," Weis said. "You can throw his size right out the window, because at running back he is as good as I have seen there. At wide receiver he is good there."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Marquise Lee won't win the Heisman, but it's easy to make a case that he is the most outstanding player in college football today. He does it all, possessing great separation skills, very good ball skills and the speed to take the top off a defense."
-Todd McShay ESPN.com

THE MORNING BREW Predictions for the upcoming college football awards
The annual College Football Awards will take place next Thursday, on Dec. 6. This award ceremony will feature the following; the Maxwell Award (most outstanding player), the Biletnikoff Award (most outstanding wide receiver), the Chuck Bednarik Award (defensive player of the year), the Doak Walker Award (most outstanding running back), the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, the Ray Guy Award (most outstanding punter), the Outland Trophy (most outstanding interior lineman), the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award and the Jim Thorpe Award (most outstanding defensive back).
Below are the finalists for the most significant awards, and my picks on who I believe deserves each award.
By Drew Harms
dharms@kansan.com
MAXWELL AWARD FINALISTS: (MOST OUTSTANDING PLAYER)
- Collin Klein (Kansas State)
- Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M)
- Manti Teó (Notre Dame)
Pick: Johnny Manziel
The most valuable player in college football is Manziel. As important as Teó has been to the great Notre Dame defense, the Aggies would just be an average team without Manziel. Manziel's dual threat ability allows him to excel even after a play breaks down. The Aggies have leaned heavily on
his shoulders for this whole season. Manziel has put the finishing touches on his already stellar season last week against Missouri with 372 passing yards and five touchdowns for the game. It also helped that Manziel went to Tuscaloosa and beat an Alabama team that was No. 1 at the time.
BILETNIKOFF AWARD: (BEST RECEIVER)
- Stedman Bailey (West Virginia)
* Marquise Lee (USC)
Pick: Marquise Lee
All three of these wide receivers have put up mind-boggling numbers, but Lee has made the biggest plays and set multiple records for the Trojans all year. Lee went more than 100 yards receiving in eight of the 12 games this season and set a new school
record for receiving yards in a game against Arizona. Lee is also the best pro-prospect out of these three, and a couple of days ago was named as the Pac-12 offensive player of the year.
CHUCK BEDNARIK TROPHY: (DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR)
Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina)
Jarvis Jones (Georgia)
Manti Te'o (Notre Dame)
Pick: Manti Te'o
Although Jarvis Jones may be the best defensive pro-prospect in college football, Teo has made his most prevalent contributions for Notre Dame in the biggest games. Teo has six games this season where he has recorded 10 or more tackles. Teo is also tied for second in college football with seven interceptions. Not second among linebackers but second overall, and the player he's tied with happens to be a cornerback. The linebacker with the second most interceptions is Kiko Alonso (Oregon) with four.
KU
DOAK WALKER AWARD (BEST RUNNING
BACK)
- Montee Ball (Wisconsin)
- Kenjon Barner (Oregon)
- Johnathan Franklin (UCLA)
Pick: Kenjon Barner
Before the season it was projected that Oregon's other star running back, DeAnthony Thomas, could be one of the finalists for the Heisman at the end of the year. But after Barner's Week 2 performance against Fresno State, rushing for 201 yards and three touchdowns, he was named the starter and had the majority of the carries for the Ducks. Barner's monster game against USC put him in the Heisman discussion. In this game Barner had 321 rushing yards and five touchdowns and might be one of the Heisman finalists who will get an invite to New York for the ceremonies on Dec. 8.

I ASSOCIATE PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Bernisha Pinkett had career highs of 21 points and 10 rebounds, Adia Mathies added 14 points and No. 9 Kentucky rolled past Miami (Ohio) 92-53 on Wednesday.

sluggish start before the Wildcats' defense got going. Kentucky ended up holding Miami (3-3) to 33 percent shooting while forcing 22 turnovers that led to 29 points.
Courtney Osborn scored a game-high 25 points for the RedHawks, who lost their second straight game
and fell to 2-16 against Kentucky.
Pinket's 12 first-half points provided the spark en route to 8-of-13 shooting and the junior's highest output since scoring 18 points twice last season.
"The great thing for us is that Miami was a tough team and made
us work hard today," Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell said. "We had to earn that victory."
Kentucky used 59 percent shooting in the second half to finish 50 percent overall for the second straight game. The Wildcats went 11 for 29 from 3-point range, had
16 steals and only seven turnovers.
Miami took the lead four times in the first 10 minutes by limiting Kentucky to 39 percent shooting.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Gardner posts first career double-double
NATHAN FORDYCE
nfordyce@kansan.com
Take away the first two and half minutes of the game and there wasn't a game, at least not a challenging one.
The Kansas women's basketball team saw a Grambling State team jump out to a 10-10 lead. From there the Jayhawks took control and improved to 6-0 with a 101-47 victory on Wednesday night.
Unlike in recent games where the scoring came from a select few Jayhawks, all 11 Jayhawks scored at least one point. They were led by sophomore forward Chelsea Gardner as she claimed her first double-double with a career-high 26 points and 10 rebounds. She did most of her work in the second half as she racked up 20 points and grabbed six rebounds.
"I thought it felt good," Gardner
said. "I really didn't know I had that many points until the end of the game."
It wasn't just Gardner who had a great night on the offensive side. As a team, they shot 55.4 percent, a season high in field-goal percentage.
Kansas senior point guard Angel Goodrich, who finished with seven points and eight assists, said having everybody score is an added bonus.

Not only did the opening game frustrate Henrickson, it also frustrated the players.

Kansas had season-highs in field goal attempts and makes as they went 41-of-74. Of those 41 made shots, the Jayhawks also had a season-

Sophomore guard Asia Boyd had a career-high in both points and rebounds as she recorded her first double-double of her career with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Sophomore forward Bunny Williams also added 10 rebounds as the Jayhawks out-rebounded the Tigers 53-30.
Along with Boyd, sophomore guard Natalie Knight added a season-high 13 points. Senior forward Carolyn Davis struggled from the floor as the Tigers threw bodies at her left and right. Davis managed just six points but for the first time this year, she wasn't needed to score big points.

BIG 12
K-state looking for crucial win against Texas
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN

NO. 18 TEXAS 8-3 (5-3) AT NO. 6 KANSAS STATE 10-1 (7-1)
Kansas State will return to action after losing to Baylor two weeks ago. The BCS Championship match is out of reach for K-State. All it can do now is focus on winning the Big 12.
Texas coach Mack Brown's best approach is to study game film on K-State's loss to Baylor and figure out how his Longhorns can duplicate that success. But along with studying film, Brown must also improve the run defense, which is ranked last in the Big 12.
K-State's rush offense, primarily led by Collin Klein and John Hubert, is one of the best in the Big 12. The two combine for 32 rushing touchdowns this season and can use that to their advantage against a weak rush defense on Saturday to pick up a win and lock up the conference.

Kansas State wins, 42-21
NO. 23 OKLAHOMA STATE 7-4 (5-3) AT BAYLOR 6-5 (3-5)
Baylor has been on a roll lately with wins against K-State and Texas Tech. The Bears scored 52 points in each of those two games. Can they do it again against Oklahoma State to conclude a three-game home stand?
The Bears' recent hot run is due to the 564 yards they've gained on the ground. Neither K-State nor Texas Tech had an answer for the running game. Oklahoma State has played well against the run and is one of the better run-stopping teams in the league.
But what's more impressive about Oklahoma State is that it's being led by Clint Chelf. Chelf has led the Cowboys to a 2-1 record with two close losses to K-State and Oklahoma. If he continues to play well, he can end Baylor's run.
Expect Chelft to play well and lead Oklahoma State to victory. Baylor's offense will find a way to keep it close with Nick Florence taking the snaps, but turnovers could be an issue for the Bears.

NO. 11 OKLAHOMA 9-2 (7-1) AT TEXAS CHRISTIAN 7-4 (4-4)
If Kansas State concludes the season with a loss, it provides Oklahoma the opportunity to strike and take the conference. With the help of Texas, Oklahoma must come out strong against TCU this weekend.
Landry Jones has talented players across the board to work with. His running backs, wide receivers and even Blake Bell, the backup quarterback, have contributed significantly to the offense. But he must overcome one more obstacle this regular season against TCU.
TCU's rush defense should have an easy time stopping Damien Williams and Brennan Clay. However, Gary Patterson's defense will stumble against against receivers Kenny Stills, Justin Brown and Jalen Saunders. If the Horned Frogs' offense can't keep up, the game will go to Oklahoma.
Oklahoma wins, 31-10

FOOTBALL
West Virginia seniors looking to finish off season strong
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Joe Madsen has seen more changes than a light bulb at West Virginia.
Only two months after Rich Rodriguez left for Michigan, Madsen signed a letter-of-intent to play football for the Mountaineers under newly christened coach Bill Stewart in February 2008.
Recruited as a tackle out of Chardon (Ohio) High School, Madsen moved up through the ranks at center and earned his first career as a redshirt freshman in 2009.
Madsen saw the Mountaineers go from a run-based spread system under Rodriguez and Stewart to second-year coach Dana Holgorsen's pass-happy offense that's thrived under Geno Smith.
In the final home game for 21
West Virginia seniors on Saturday, Madsen will make his school-record 50th career start when the Mountainers (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) play Kansas (1-10, 0-8).
The emotions began to hit Madsen in practice this week when right guard Jeff Braun, another senior, looked at him and said, "Last Tuesday — ever"
other seniors, their careers started with a 33-20 win over Championship Subdivision member Liberty.
"I do remember the first one because it was definitely the scarii
"You just want to show the people one last time that you're the out there."
"I kind of just took a breath and
thought, "Wow, almost done," Madsen said. "It feels like yesterday that I was going out there and not knowing what I was doing, and just scared to death. But now it's almost over and it's been fun."

"I walked out of the tunnel and there were 64,000 fans and you're thinking 'This is amazing.' I don't even remember who played. But
Actually, the West Virginia player who's been on the field the longest is Josh lenkins, a backup guard in five games in 2008. He missed last season with an injured left knee.
It was Jenkins who, on Signing
Day 2008, went to the podium at Parkersburg High School wearing a Michigan cap, then threw it to the floor in a swipe at Rodriguez and put on a WVU cap to announce his intentions.
Jenkins was on the field at times in 2008 when Pat White was weaving his way to an NCAA record for career rushing yards by a quarterback. And his blocking has helped Smith to rewrite the school's record book for a passer.
Smith and wide receiver Tavon Austin are the most notable of the seniors, whose accomplishments include last year's one-sided Orange Bowl win over Clemson.
"I've been here a long time," Jenkins said. "This is my last opportunity. I'm going to make the best of it."
Smith has grown from the player
who lined up to take a snap under the wrong player in a game at LSU in 2010 to temporary Heisman Trophy frontrunner this year before the Mountaineers lost five straight games.
Smith joked that the biggest strides over his career came from putting on weight.
"I'm not skinny anymore," he said. "At least not as skinny as I once was."
"Being here has helped me realize just how important (WVU)
He recalled visiting a football camp in Morgantown as a 10th grader with his Florida high school coach and former Mountaineer linebacker Damon Cogdell. He remembers when West Virginia would often play a Thursday or Friday night game on national television during its days in the Big East.
is to the community, to everyone around here, to the players, to the staff; from the cooks in the back to the people who help us with academics," Smith said. "It's just an important program to everyone, and everyone needs to come together for it to work."
It'd be tough to find a group more dedicated to that than Madsen and the three other offensive linemen who'll try to protect Smith in the final regular-season game.
"You just want to show the people one last time that you're the best out there," he said. "This whole team has just done great things, and it's stuff we'll remember and it's stuff that I'll be able to tell my kids someday. And it's been awesome."

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Grambling State proves no match for Kansas
MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com
The energy that Gardner brought against Grambling St. was actually the outcome of her feeling more relaxed for this game.
Sophomore forward Chelsea Gardner came off the bench, and provided the energy that Kansas seemed to lack when falling behind Grambling State by 10 points to start the game. Gardner ended the game with a double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds.
"Sometimes I think I just get more over-excited then I should, and things just don't fall my way," Gardner said.
head coach Bonnie Henrickson cheers on the Jayhawks in Wednesday's,game against Grambling State. The Jayhawks were victorious with a final score of 101-47.
Everything was going Gardner's way on Wednesday night — especially the shots. Garnder shot 11 of 13 from the field.
Sarah Palin
The lajahawks have been looking for another scoring option this year. Seniors Angel Goodrich and Carolyn Davis had provided most of their points in the first five games of the season. After the past two games it appears that Kansas is starting to see other scorers develop.
Once the shots started to fall, the confidence started to rise for Gardner. She made her first nine shots from the field and went four of four from the free-throw line. The performance in the post by Gardner was especially sweet after Davis missed her first four shots of the game before subbing out for Gardner.
"I thought it was just time," Gardner said. "I had to do what I had to do."
proven her scoring ability once again, that may change.
TYLER ROSTE/KANSAN
Bonnie Henrickson said that this could be a sign that she may be able to play Gardner on the court with Davis, which is something she mentioned on media day. So far, Henrickson has rarely played the two post players together — if ever. Now that Gardner has
In the 54-point win over Grambling St., Gardner played like she did in the NCAA tournament last season after Davis had been sidelined by an ACL injury. This game was necessary for Gardner's confidence level, sophomore guard Natalie Knight said after the game.
It was also a game where Kansas' top scorer, Davis, struggled against a zone defense that appeared determined to stop her; she scored only six points. Gardner stepped up despite the struggles for Davis. This game was exactly what the team needed from Gardner, Henrickson said.
"She's practiced well," Henrickson said. "I've been so surprised she's not performed in games better."
Teammates Goodrich and Natalie Knight vouched that they have seen Gardner make shots consistently in practice. Gardner said it has been frustrating playing well in practice, and then watching her shots just not fall in the games.
With Gardner on fire, Kansas played more aggressively late in the first half.
"We didn't come out ready to play," Knight said. "Towards the end of the half everybody started to be more aggressive and it made it easier once we all got into the flow of the game."
It is no secret now what Gardner is capable of. It was seen at the end of last season, but the Jayhawks have still been waiting to see that production from their 6-foot-3 forward in her sophomore season.
"We need her to come out like that every game," Angel Goodrich said. "She brought it tonight, so she needs to continue to bring it."

Rondo ejected in loss to Nets
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
The message came too late for Raion Rondo.
BOSTON — Doc Rivers wants the Boston Celtics to be tough not violent.
The Celtics point guard was ejected from Wednesday night's game against the Nets when he retaliated for a hard foul against Kevin Garnett by shoving Brooklyn forward Kris Humphries into the courtside seats. Rondo, Humphries and Nets forward Gerald Wallace were ejected, and Brooklyn held on to win 95-83.
"All that stuff, that's not toughness," Rivers told reporters, calling his team soft. "That foul was a hard foul. It was an unnecessary foul. The play was over and then he pushed him down in the air. But I think that's what they think of us: They think they can push you around."
Joe Johnson scored 18 points and Andray Blatche had 17 points and 13 rebounds as the Nets opened up a 21-point, first-half lead and took advantage of the loss of the Celtics' All-Star to win for the ninth time in 11 games.
The Nets led by eight after one quarter and scored 19 of the first 25 points in the second to make it 47-26. Boston cut the deficit to 14 points and trailed by 16 when Garnett took an off-balance jumper from the right baseline and Humphries leveraged him to the floor with his left arm.
Garnett had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Paul Pierce added 14 points for Boston. Rondo had three assists before he was kicked out, ending his streak at 37 games with double-digits — tied for second-longest in NBA history.
Rondo trailed the play with a two-handed shove that sent Humphries into the courtside seats.
"Kevin could have gotten hurt. He's in the air. He took a bad fall. And so Rondo saw that and probably reacted, and over-reacted, obviously." Rivers said. "I can't get in anybody's head. But at that point we're getting our tails kicked and we're probably frustrated."
shoving Garnett. Nets point guard Deron Williams said Humphries, who did not speak to reporters after the game, had scratches on his head and neck.
Wallace soon entered the fray by
After the game, Humphries posted a picture of his scratched left shoulder with the comment: "Anyone know where I can quick get a Tennis shot in Boston?"
While the rest of the players remained by their benches, coaches and officials tried to break up the skirmish.
"I think guys just try to defend themselves," Nets coach Avery Johnson said. "I think the league should really take that into account. Because I don't know if guys can just walk away all the time. They've got to kind of protect themselves."
The referees went to the scorer's table to watch the incident on replay, and their verdict was announced over the public address system: Two technical fouls for Humphries, one for Wallace — his second of the game, ending his night — and one for Garnett.
"Rondo initiated everything that proceeded after the foul," crew chief James Capers said in a pool report provided to reporters. "And
Rondo was simply ejected.
when he and Humphries go into the stands, they are involved in a fight. Fighting is an automatic ejection."
Rondo left the Celtics locker room before it was opened to reporters, and was unavailable for comment.
"We all back each other," Garnett said. "We take a lot of pride in putting on this jersey. I know I do. This ain't the Girl Scouts or the Boy Scouts. That's what it is. It's the NBA. You've got to get used to it."
When the free throws were done, Boston trailed 51-38, and the Celtics never got closer than nine points after that.
Rondo has had a history of petulance, including a one-game suspension during the opening round of last year's playoff series against Atlanta after he chest-bumped referee Marc Davis while complaining about a call in the final minute of a Boston loss.
"Usually he goes after the refs," Rivers said. "This was another guy, so this was better."
During the 2011-12 regular season, he was suspended for two games for throwing a ball at an official.

Of course Kansas will run the ball on Saturday against West Virginia, but there's more it too that. Dayne Crist will again be playing and likely in the same situations he was in against Iowa State. The Mountaineers will try to key in on James Sims and Tony Pierson, but look for that to open up the passing game.

According to Charlie Weis, WVU quarterback Geno Smith is not the biggest concern for the Jayhawks. That accolade goes to Tavon Austin, the Mountaineers wide receiver/ tailback/kick and punt returner. The kid can do it all and is faster than anyone else on the field. The Jayhawks will need to limit the amount of time Austin has the ball in his hands.

MOMENTUM
Momentum will have to be created in practice this week for the Jayhawks, Kansas got tossed around by the Cyclones two weeks ago, losing 51-23. Weis can only hope that the Thanksgiving break provided a much needed rejuvenation.
12
AT A GLANCE
This final matchup is a tale of unfulfilled expectations. West Virginia was supposed to dominate in its first season playing in the Big 12, especially with all the hype around quarterback Geno Smith. The Mountaineers have won just three games in the conference. The Jayhawks were supposed to be a scrappy team of fifth-year seniors that led the way to the win column. They still have one more chance.
Keep an eye on the play calling this week. Weis has nothing to lose, and as we've seen, he's not shy to throw in a few trick plays. Expect him to try some unconventional schemes.
COACHING
M
Weis
James Sims is on the cusp of breaking 1,000 yards rushing for the first time in his career. His previous best was 742 yards during his freshman season in 2010. There is no doubt that he's a premier running back in the Big 12.
PLAYER TO WATCH

Sims
SPECIAL TEAMS
Kansas has come a long way from missing chip-shot field goals and failing to get touchbacks. Ever since Weis called all hands on deck for the special teams after they were torn apart by Oklahoma, the unit has shaped up. Staying consistent is all anyone can ask with one game left.
BULLSEEK
QUESTION MARKS
With four quarters left in the season, will Kansas have a wide receiver score a touchdown?
Or will they lay a goose egg for the season?
What kind of tricks does Weis have up his sleeve?
After all, it's the last game of the year and he can't hold anything back now.

BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
The team doesn't implode. This season hasn't been a wash. In maybe the truest sense, it's been a building year. That may have a different meaning in the Kansas basketball offices, but the football Jayhawks have put in the time and effort. It's time to get a win.

OFFENSE
College football fans are familiar with Geno Smith and what he's capable of. However, not many people are as familiar with the players who have helped Succeed this year. Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin are in the top three for catches and yards per game among all receivers in the conference. Smith is surrounded with a lot of talented players. He's not limited in his options and has an easy time finding a target. Running backs Andrew Buie and Cody Cayl will share duties in the backfield to help contribute to the offense.

West Virginia's 3-4 defense has experienced a couple of highs this season. Outside linebacker Josh Francis has terrorized quarterbacks and running backs behind the line of scrimmage, earning 9.5 tackles for negative yardage this year against conference opponents. Joseph Karl has the second-most tackles out of all of the defensive backs in the Big 12 with 70. But as a unit, West Virginia has been unable to play like a team, as many teams have lit up the scoreboard against Joe DeForest's defense.

MOMENTUM
Before West Virginia's last win, it lost five straight games. However, even with a 1-5 record in the last six games, West Virginia is still an offensive threat and has a lot of momentum going into Saturday's game against Kansas. The offense ranks sixth in the nation and has scored 40 points per game.
28
AT A GLANCE
West Virginia is great on offense, but bad on defense. The Mountain-eers rank last in the Big 12 in total defense and points allowed this year. The offense is tabbed as one of the best in the nation. Unfortunately, the bad has outweighed the good for most of this season. In Week 7, West Virginia was in the top five in the AP Top 25 and USA Today Coaches polls. Today, West Virginia is having a hard time receiving a vote. It's obvious that the Mountaineers will spend a lot of time recruiting defensive players in the offseason.
COACHING
Before becoming the head coach of West Virginia in 2011, Dana Holgorsen worked with six different programs and served as an offensive assistant. He spent some time in the Big 12 at two different schools and established credibility as an offensive coach. Holgorsen assisted Texas Tech's offense for eight years and is responsible for the success the Red Raiders had with current NFI
1234567890
players Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree. Helgorsen also coached Oklahoma State's offense in 2010, in which the Cowboys shattered five offensive school records.
Holgorsen
PLAYER TO WATCH
Wide receiver Tavon Austin leads the Big 12 in all-purpose yards and he's the only Big 12 player to have over 2,000 all-purpose yards this season. Austin recently has been active rushing the football. He's carried the ball 35 times for 418 yards combined against Oklahoma and Iowa State. Kansas

QUESTION MARKS
Kicker Tyler Bitancur isn't the most reliable player to have on the field to kick a field goal. Bitancur has missed seven out of the 17 field goals he's attempted so far this season. But Tavon Austin has grabbed all of the attention on special teams. Austin, who won the Big 12 special teams player of the week honors in Week 6, returned one punt and one kickoff back for a
touchdown earlier this year. The scary part is, he's only done that on 43 total returns. Even though he is heavily active in the offense, he remains at the top of the depth chart for kick returning and punt returning duties.
Can West Virginia finish the season with one more conference win?
After West Virginia received a lot of attention and Geno Smith was a candidate to win the Heisman Trophy, the team declined and went through a five-game losing streak in its first year in the Big 12. The conference newcomers snapped that streak last Friday against Iowa State and look to finish its long season on a better note by beating Kansas.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF ..
Kansas can't score against West Virginia's defense. West Virginia has allowed over 40 points per game this season. Even though Kansas is ranked last in the Big 12 in scoring and has scored only 16 touchdowns, the offense has an opportunity to have its best offensive production of the season against a weak Mountaineers' defense.

Jarmal Reid, Freshman Forward
Reid is one of the players Beavers coach Craig Robinson hopes will step up in the absence of star forward Angus Brandt. He's played 35 minutes in the first four games, averaging 1.5 points per game and 1 rebound per game. Reid was ranked 73rd in ESPNU's class of 2012 prospect list. While getting his first big minutes, look for Reid to struggle.

Kevin Young, Senior Forward
Young brings the most energy to the four-spot on the floor, but he'll have to be an active rebounder to compete with the Oregon State bigs on the offensive glass to keep them occupied so they can't ignore him and double-team Withey.
Withey
★★★★
Jeff Withey, Senior Center By his own admission, Withey doesn't like playing against smaller lineups such as the one he will face tonight at Oregon State. Unfortunately for him, not every team he plays against will line up another seven-footer for him to go against; and he'll have to learn to get in better positions to defend smaller forwards.

Ben McLemore, Freshman Guard
Starks
McLemore will need to attack the basket more against Oregon St. than he has in the past in order to open up the floor for his teammates more, as he will already draw the Beavers' attention with his talent. But with his roof-raising dunks, McLemore would play incredible even if he were wearing his granddads' clothes.
Ahmad Starks Junior Guard
Starks isn't afraid to shoot the ball. Against Montana State, he shot 5-of-16 with 14 points. Starks finds ways to get to the basket and in turn the free throw line. He's also a solid rebounding guard. His experience, playing in 35 games last season for the Beavers, will help solidify the backcourt and feed the post players that run this team.

KU TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Beavers
No. 10 Kansas (5-1) played its best basketball of the season in the CBE Classic games at the Sprint Center but still has struggled to put together a complete game on the offensive side of the ball all season. Twice in their game against San Jose State on Monday they jumped out to leads only to see the Spartans come back as the Jayhawk offense went cold. They got away with it against San Jose State on Monday, but won't against the tougher competition from major conferences.
OREGON STATE TIPOFF
Oregon State (4-1) emphasizes post play with a solid crop of frontcourt players. The recent loss of 6-foot-10 senior center Angus Brandt puts the focus on center Joe Burton. After a career night against the Montana State Bobcats, Burton appears to be ready for the challenge. OSU is averaging seven more rebounds than their opponents, a stat that doesn't bode well for the Jayhawks struggling frontcourt.

"You would think he'd have a little more juice making recruiting calls over the last four years and the next four years than most college coaches would. I wonder if he introduces himself as coach Robinson or 'I'm the president's brother-in-law?"
-Bill Self on Oregon State coach Craig Robinson, who is First Lady Michelle Obama's brother.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE
"It's a big loss because Angus is a big part of the team. He brings a lot of energy, even off the court. Eric (Moreland), Devon (Collier), Jarmal (Reid) and I have to step up and make up for the rebounds and points. He was a double-double guy and we have to spread out the points and go hard. It was kind of weird without him by my side running down the court."

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF..
The Jayhawks consistently attack the rim all night, preventing the offensive droughts that have plagued them at times this season.
Oregon State plays a more physical game than Kansas in the paint. With rebounders like Burton, Moreland and Starks, OSU can produce plenty of second chance opportunities. If the Jayhawks don't box out, the Beavers will cause trouble in the paint.
