THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UDK the student voice since 1904 Turkey Mediterranean Sea Lebanon Damascus Iraq Jordan Israel In this photo taken on Aug. 24, a Syrian army soldier walks on a street in the Jobar neighborhood of Damascus, Syria BEYOND THE HEADLINE Sami and Sali used to feel safe in Syria. Now, they can hear the civil war from their window. JENNIFER SALVA isalva@kansan.com Sila's favorite memory of her home in Syria is sneaking out of her bedroom to play ball with her brother, Sami, when their parents thought they were studying. Sami and Sila Shalhoub fondly remember playing sports together and going to church camp with their friends in Syria. "I loved growing up there, I mean, I wouldn't trade it for anything," Sami said. "It's a really cool environment to live in because everybody will protect you." Sami and Sila also remember the bomb that exploded just two blocks from their home in the nation's capital city of Damascus. The siblings were home visiting their family for Christmas in 2011. Sila was staying at a friend's house and remembers waking up on Christmas Eve to the sound of the explosion. Sami had driven down the road where the explosion occurred just two hours earlier. At first, Sami thought it was a thunderstorm. "I opened up the blinds and it was clear," Sami said. "We heard another explosion and then, you can see it from my window: there was a lot of smoke." Sami remembers checking Facebook for information about what was happening. "I don't remember any news program," Sami said. He could see the violence from his house. EMIGRATING Sami came to the United States in 2005, at the age of 17, to study biomedical engineering at Louisiana Tech University. In 2009, he moved to Lawrence for graduate school. Sila came directly to the University from Syria to study Pharmacy in 2009, and the siblings have shared an apartment since. "Especially since I came to a country that I didn't know anything about and I could barely speak the language, it's pretty hard," Sila said. "So, I'd rather always have my brother with me." Sami and Sila first heard of the violence in Syria in March 2011, when they were at a Kansas basketball game in Tulsa, Okla. "I didn't believe it," Sami said. "I mean I still kind of don't. When I lived in Syria for 17 years, it was always like the safest place in the Middle East." In June 2012, while Sami and his sister were both studying at the University, their parents decided it was too dangerous to stay in Damascus. They moved to the United States for six months, then spent six months in Lebanon. They return to Damascus as often as possible to make sure their house is OK, Sami said. Sami and Sila have several rela- tives who have fled to Jordan, Lebanon and other countries in the Persian Gulf to escape the violence. Sami said it's difficult for people to leave their homes in Syria, especially people like his grandmother. "Older people just want to be in their house, what they're used to," Sami said. "When I lived in Syria for 17 years, it was always like the safest place in the Middle East." WHAT'S HAPPENING since March 2011, civil war between the government of President Bashar al-Assad and rebel forces that want him out of power has engulfed Syria. Once-peaceful protests for democracy and greater freedom turned violent as government security shot at protesters in Daraa, a city about 70 miles south of Damascus. Before the attacks, Sami said, the streets of Damascus were safe even at three or four in the morning. But now, his friends who still live in or around Damascus go home when the sun sets. "The shootings start around that SAMI SHALHOUB graduate student "The shootings start around that time," Sami said. time, sami sami Sami understands how significant that violence can be; a loose canon killed a couple of his friends when it fell on their car. The Syrian government has officially denied use of chemical weapons, but investigations are still underway. Sami does not care which side used the weapons. "It doesn't matter who did it, still innocent people are dying and that's the bigger part of the problem," Sami said. Before the violence, it took about 15 minutes for Sila to travel from her best friend's house to her grandmother's home. When she visited Damascus one month ago, the government had added three checkpoints to the route, use of chemical weapons, but investigations are still under way. making her "quick trip" nearly 45 minutes. Although she can hear gunshots through her windows at night, Sila still describes going home as "the best feeling ever." "Whatever happens to me, at least I'm home. At least I'm in my country," Sila said. MISUNDERSTOOD The night is really not what is showed in the media." Sami said. "To get what is actually happening, you have to look at more than just the news of just big newspapers." Sila agrees that the media can be misleading. All of her information comes from friends, family and her personal experience. She can recall several times when a news broadcast reported gunshots or a bomb explosion in the exact part of the city where one of her friends lives. When she called that friend to make sure everything was OK, her friend would tell her nothing had happened. Many Syrians still support Assad's regime, Sami and Sila said, and there wouldn't be a war if everyone were against him. The regime loves its people and did much to improve Syria, Sila said. Sami said he wants the violence SAMANTHA & BENJAMIN Sami said he wants the violence to stop, but does not think it will CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Sila and Sami Shalhhoub on their way to a family dinner in Lawrence in July of 2012. end with a government step down. "I feel like it's not a fight about one person or one religion," Sami said. "It's a fight for power." It isn't easy for Sami and Sila to talk about the violence in Syria. They want people to know the safe, beautiful Syria they grew up in. "I just feel like this is not what Syria is about," Sami said. "It's more than that, it's really one of the nicest places in the whole world." Edited by Tara Bryant LAWRENCE City offers football game day shuttle service CALEB SISK csisk@kansan.com The start of football season is fast approaching, which means that a number of traditions are set to be celebrated by students. Tailgating activities around town will kick off as alumni come into town only to find that there is nowhere to park. In an effort to alleviate this yearly headache, the City of Lawrence will offer a shuttle bus service to all seven home football games this season for a paltry fee of $1. Students and alumni will be able to park downtown, partake in the local restaurant and bar scene, and then safely make their way to the game on the shuttle. A number of local businesses are likely to see a spike in business on game days with these alumni parking downstreet. While more popular businesses are likely to see a boost in business regardless of the shuttle service, some smaller businesses will definitely benefit from the increased foot traffic. This service will be a welcome reprieve for alumni who are used to coming into town and paying $25 for a parking spot at a residence in the shadow of Memorial Stadium. On the other side of this story are the students and landlords that had planned on making money selling their parking spaces to out-of-towners. "This service will probably take a lot of the customers that normally park in this area," said Alec Shandy, from the increased foot traffic. a student living in the 10th block of Illinois Street. These tenants and landlords are likely to see a sharp decrease in sales and perhaps even have to consider lowering their fees. Despite the potential drop-off in parking around the stadium, this service is definitely in the best interests of the safety and well-being of students and alumni. 301 FILE PHOTO/KANSAN Edited by Heather Nelson A Park and Ride bus pulls up to a stop at the parking lot on west campus.

She almost ignores the call, but after a moment of hesitation decides to answer it. As the girl on the other end introduces herself, it takes a moment for her to recognize a voice she hasn't heard in years. The voice of a young girl from Africa she once knew. The girl's name is Fatou, and their relationship began when Emily Sharp, a graduate student working towards her master's degree in Marketing and Communications, served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guinea from 2004 to 2006. One project she and the other volunteers in her region worked on was an annual girls' conference. They brought together young girls who showed promise as leaders in their communities. It was an eye-opening experience for the girls, Sharp said. Many of them had questions while growing up but never had the opportunity to find answers. After attending the conference, Fatou was inspired to set herself on the path she is on today. She updated Sharp on where she is now when she called just a few weeks ago, which is in Virginia where she goes to college. "She speaks impeccable English," Sharp said. "She wanted to reach out to me because the time we spent together at that conference made such an impression on her, and it's something she's been thinking about ever since. That was so rewarding for me to hear." Sharp said meaningful work like the girl's conference is one reason she feels her time serving for the Peace Corps was worthwhile. She spent her two years of service helping entrepreneurs and women's groups start and manage income-generating activities for their communities. In order to be successful in her work endeavors, Sharp had to adapt to her completely new surroundings. She adjusted to the living conditions of the remote West African village where she lived, which included no electricity, no running water, no phones or Internet and little contact with home. Sharp also had to become accustomed to the social norms in her new community. She said she was surprised to find that it was considered polite to stop and greet every person you passed, even if you didn't know them. People in her community were also comfortable with silence, making Sharp notice that Americans often try to fill every pause in conversation with small talk. She was asked questions about what life was like in America, Sharp, former campus Peace Corps recruiter, encourages any student who is open to adventure and able to adapt in challenging situations to consider the Peace Corps. "The old slogan for Peace Corps is it's the toughest job you'll ever love," Sharp said. "I think that sums it up perfectly." Edited by Hannah Barling and many times the concepts she explained were unbelievable to those in her community. Sharp recalled sitting with a man in her community on a very hot day and commenting that back in the United States, people usually just stay inside in the air conditioning to escape the heat. Sharp said he couldn't wrap his head around the idea. "It was so foreign to him that you would spend all of your time cramped up in an inside space when you have the whole wide open world around you," Sharp said. While in Guinea, Sharp's best friend from home was pregnant and sent her a sonogram picture. One of her Guinean friends saw the picture hanging up in her house and asked about it. Sharp explained how doctors are able to see and take pictures of an unborn baby, and determine its gender. "His mind was blown. He thought I was crazy," Sharp said. "I would have these moments like, oh yeah, it's pretty amazing that we can do that." crimson AND BLUE TUESDAYS at JOCK'S NITCH 25% OFF All Regular Priced Kansas Jayhawks Merchandise Limited Time Only! 837 Mass & 1116 W 23rd Crimson AND BLUE TUESDAYS at JOCK'S NITCH 25% OFF All Regular Priced Kansas Jayhawks Merchandise Limited Time Only! 837 Mass & 1116 W 23rd SUNFLOWER OUTDOOR & BIKE 804 Massachusetts St. 843-8000 LAWRENCE, MA 02074 Everything You Really Need For Back To School! backpacks bikes clothes footwear discs patagonia TREK VAKIMA Marmot 804 Massachusetts St. • Downtown Lawrence (785) 843-5000 • www.sunfloweroutdoorbike.com SUNFLOWER OUTDOOR & BIKE PULL MARSHUETTE MAZING LAWNHILL AMAZING Everything You Really Need For Back To School!

It is capture by Echo 360, a new system that uploads the video of his class to Blackboard for students to view. The system has already been in place at the Edwards campus. EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN Stop, rewind, fast forward, replay. With just few clicks of the mouse, senior Chi Vu from Vietnam reviewed the video of the previous day's microbiology lecture, trying to fill her notes on what she missed during the actual class. Echo 360 lecture capture system uploads the video of the lecture onto Blackboard, allowing students taking Biology 400 to see and hear professor Matthew Buechner giving his lecture, as well as the powerpoint presentation he used in the class, outside the walls of Budig 130. Buechner, who also teaches at the Edwards campus, said he would try the new system at Edwards because a lot of older students have jobs and can't make it to class every night. Buechner is one of the 308 KU faculty members who are actively using the Echo 360 system. While Echo 360 is new to the Lawrence campus, it has been used for the past couple years at the Edwards campus as well as the University Pharmacy School. "I have really bad studying habits," Vu said. "I kind of space out in class so it's good to go over it, see what he is talking about, especially because he is so disjointed." "For the students who had to miss a lecture, it was really helpful. They could watch the lecture, then ask me questions rather than just come to me and ask 'what did we cover.' So it made office visits more productive," Buechner said. From experience, Buechner knew how useful the lecture capture system can be for students who use it. "I tend to talk way too fast. I get all nervous and excited and jump around too much," Buechner said. "Even the students who went to class, they'd look at the lecture afterwards and go over their notes over the parts, topics they had trouble with in more detail." The success in the previous years led to the adoption of Echo 360 in Lawrence, and it can completely change the traditional classroom experience for many KU students. One of the concerns about the new technology is that it could discourage classroom attendance, something Buechner considers a vital part of the education process. "Students want to have more interaction with each other in the classroom. They don't want to sit and listen to an instructor talk for an hour," David Day, communications manager for Information Technology, said. "By changing the way the courses are taught, to better involve students in the learning process, to take them from being passive listeners to active participants in classrooms, the University knows it can raise retention rates" Through Blackboard, instructors can see how many students watched their lectures, how long they've watched it and what part students watched the most. This feedback allows the instructors to pinpoint the most difficult material and tailor the classroom time. "I think people get a lot more from being in that social setting, even in a large lecture hall. Hearing how other people are reacting is a better learning experience for you If attendance decreases significantly, Buechner plans to stop recording his lectures, but just after a week into the new semester, he remained optimistic. than just watching a tv monitor," Buechner said. "I had pretty good attendance today, and the lecture is online so I was pleasantly surprised," Buechner said. "At least 80 percent of the class was there today." Ultimately, the goal of integrating the lecture capture system is to increase class interaction and whatever form the lecture takes. "I want students to understand the material and I'm committed to do whatever I can to help them understand it," Buechner said. "Will it change it for good? No I think you'll always have room for lecture. I think it's going to change the balance of what happens during the lecture." understanding of the material whatever form the lecture takes —Edited by Hannah Barling CAMPUS Film festival promotes international learning ELLY GRIMM egrimm@kansan.com The five area studies centers at the University will host the International Peace and Conflict Film Festival on Wednesday nights starting Sept. 4, at 5 p.m. The first film, "Caterpillar" is sponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies. The festival will feature five films. All films will be screened at the Spencer Museum of Art. Each of the films will also have an introduction and a discussion led by faculty, and in one case an ambassador. "This is also the theme for a whole bunch of our activities coming up this week so we have a whole bunch of speakers coming who will speak to this," said Jennifer Duhamel, the outreach coordinator for the Center for Global and International Studies. "We'll also have a teacher's workshop, K-12, so that local teachers will come, and we'll present something on peace and conflict that they'll be able to take back to their classrooms."

The film festival will end on Oct. 9 with the screening of "No Man's Land." “There are a number of different conflicts in our region of interest that we could have centered on” he said. “So we looked at the best confluence of 'Do we have a film that is good representation for this?'

Bart Redford, the assistant director for the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies discussed the selection of his department's film, "No Man's Land." Each department had its own "We have a really great line-up of films from each of the Area Studies Centers. They are interesting, informative, inspiring, and entertaining," said Swanson. "Also, film is such an enjoyable and effective medium to learn about issues relating to Peace and Conflict in each of the participating regions."

EDITOR'S NOTE: Wow, you should be editor. Perks of being a night owl, you get to see KU's mama fox and her ADORABLE babies. Forget alcohol education, new students need to take Street Crossing 101. VMA performance reflects on music industry, not individuals Miley Cyrus is my personal Voldemort, or She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Though Cyrus' scandalous act at the Video Music Awards on Aug. 25 was about as disgusting as the floors of The Hawk, no one can seem to stop talking about it, and frankly, I've grown sick of hearing about it. Amid the outrage she sparked over sexual exploitation, racism and objectification, another underlying issue has been pushed aside. While Cyrus has been busy twerking and sticking out her tongue, other artists have been left in the shadows that her giant teddy bears have cast. The general public may be concerned with the damaging impact on society, yet no one has voiced a concern for the damaging impact on the music industry. My music-loving dad (who went to Woodstock) always compares music from decades past to the music of today. He feels that in the past, artists that crossed a line did so with the purpose to create a united front and promote change - Woodstock being a prime example. In contrast with today, in which music crosses a line simply to be on the other side. To get noticed. To grab our attention. While all music involves some aspect of live performance and entertainment,the trend of "shock entertainment"has shown continual growth and Cyrus is just the latest and most prominent example. No one cares to mention the medley of Timberlake songs, or the fact that Ryan Lewis, Macklemore and Mary Lambert won "Best Video With a Social Message," for their song "Same Love." Why have these achievements been overlooked? It's been over a decade since the development of file-sharing corrupted the music industry - resulting in desperation for a comeback. Media is getting smarter while the music is left to suffer. There are people within the industry who, by choice, are sacrificing pure, raw talent for the media's attention. Today with our constant access to information via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and more, there are countless ways we spread news. The issue lies in which news we choose to spread. By Lyndsey Havens lhavens@kansan.com Some artists in the music industry still preserve and value the art of producing music and putting on modest performances for the sake of enjoyment - though their presence greatly lacked at the VMAs and they rarely receive praise through mainstream media outlets. After all, news has to be new. Not many care to spend their time reading subpar stories with little impact - although I personally find such underappreciated articles to be more interesting than the facts on Snapple caps. For new and emerging artists. trying to catch a break in the industry is no new struggle. While artists like Madonna, Michael Jackson and David Bowie, all prided themselves on their image, they still held their music at equal value. oday, breakthrough artists aim for this same acclaim, although their focus lies less on the music, and more on their looks and their actions. Lady Gaga, for example, played at Lollapalooza years ago as Stefani Germanotta. Not many know this because, well, why would anyone pay much attention to some brunette playing piano? some of the things playing It wasn't until her quirky costumes and odd behavior grabbed our attention that we started to care. Katy Perry followed a similar path, with Cyrus as the latest addition to the list. Though I highly disagree with this method of stardom, I can't help but argue that it works. Admitting this makes me as sad as watching any of the season finales of Grey's Anatomy, but after several days of hearing about the shameful Cyrus, it's clear that her stunt resulted in success. Though she barely sang and the sound quality sucked, her raunchy moves and lack of clothing landed her in the spotlight. By the time the VMAs was over and the credits were rolling, I was left with my jaw ajar, feeling as disappointed as when I found out that The Bull was being remodeled. The phrase "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" may be credited to the 60s, yet the 2013 Video Music Awards reiterated its relevance - seeing as there was an abundance of sexual inuendos, a plethora of drug references and, well, not very much rock or roll. Which seems to be the problem —when did the music industry stop being about the music? Lyndsey Havens is a sophomore majoring in journalism from Chicago, Ill. TECHNOLOGY Social media encourages lazy writing, information overload What's on your mind? I rise out of my long-enough, but still too narrow extra-long twin bed, flip my laptop open and check out Facebook to see what's happening in the world. The familiar Facebook homepage asks me a question. What's on your mind? Within five minutes of my day, I'm already being prompted to write. I've been asleep for about eight hours. For all I know, the apocalypse could have started in that short window, and God forbid I be out of the loop. The front is all clear - just another couple of song lyrics. Feeling secure, I continue with my morning routine, which will undoubtedly include a brief glance at Reddit, Gmail and a blog. In my hour before I make it to physical geography, I've been exposed to thousands of words, ideas and images. I've seen, read and vicariously experienced more in that hour than people could have in a whole week a hundred years ago. Some refer to this as "information overload." In the media mania that's erupted in the last 23 years (when public Internet was invented), young people have been writing more than ever before. The informal nature and ease of access of Internet communication has changed how we write. A larger focus on casual writing encourages critical thinking and accessibility. Those thoughts can be sporadic, By Dalton Boehm dboehm@kansan.com however, and the practice is in ill form. There are tons of benefits to technology, but such a major splash is going to cause waves. spash is going to cause waves. The downfall of hyper-connectivity lies in the quality of the writing. Generally, nothing that is published is permanent – nearly every channel of online writing has an "edit" feature. Being able to modify what you've already written establishes a faster, less concrete demeanor about how things are written across the Internet. This mindset sacrifices spelling, content and grammar for the sake of having the first comment on a freshly-posted YouTube video. Even when the edit function isn't available, brevity is still too common. Texting is notorious for poorly constructed messages. It even has a style named for it – "text-speak." Instead of writing complete sentences with whole words, some texters elect to simplify words with numbers or symbols to make messages more aesthetic. The functionality of text-speak really isn't there; it saves very insignificant measures of time. Instead, it's merely a style that has been continued since instant messaging became relevant. The fire is also fueled by spell check, an ingenious invention that makes memorizing spelling nearly irrelevant. When I can type "scpel" into Google and be offered the correct form, "spelling," why would I bother making an effort to learn? Sometimes, connectivity can be beneficial to writing. Twitter forces concise writing, a useful skill in any facet of writing. If someone can't fit all their thoughts into 140 characters, they can house them in blogs or forums that can generate longer, more thoughtful conversations. These debates and stories are the exception to the "need for speed" mentality. With 60 million Facebook status updates per day, and 50 million tweets per day, the world is writing short, sweet and incomplete. So how do we fix this attitude? How do we change the attention-deficit question "What's on your mind?" to something more academic? We focus on academics. Education reform is constantly on the desks of U.S. legislators. English courses need to educate youth on how to write effectively and properly in a way that represents both the formal and informal styles that are now everyday occurrences. Those of us who were raised writing this way will be the ones who write the legislation, and I can guarantee that it won't be written with text-speak.

A lot of people think that high school stops when you graduate and get your diploma. Technically, that is correct. However, in reality, the stereotypes, the drama, and the cliques are still carried right along in your suitcase that you packed for college. Freshmen, don't be fooled by the whole "new beginning" speech you heard all through the waning weeks of summer. College isn't a whole new world where all your problems from the past disappear. However, you do have the power to choose who you want to be. Just be you and you will find your niche. I'm not saying that change will not happen. One of the hardest changes for me that will probably occur in your transition from high school to college as well, is the drifting between old friends. Some people will move on and change their priorities. That's just a part of growing up. growing up. There still are, and always will be, different types of people on campus with different interests and priorities.

Trust me, I'm not one to buy into all the cheesy clichés, but I have found this one to be very true. College is the beginning of who you are going to be for the rest of your life. It's the beginning of finding those lifelong friends, the love of your life, and your greatest passions. A lot of you probably felt pretty important walking around on campus your first day, thinking "Yeah, I'm a big o' college kid now!" Well, that's how you should feel. I will always remember my high school English teacher telling my class at the beginning of the year that we would blink and it would be over. always pick out of the crowd.

As I hit snooze for the second time this morning, I realize that my time is slipping away. I have to face the decision that most students battle with: hit the snooze button one more time and show up for class looking like a mismatched athlete in Nike shorts, or get up and look semi-presentable for class. I've noticed most people put their best outfits forward for the first week of classes. Whether you wanted to make an impression on your teachers or you finally realized that you can't keep wearing your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shirt, it might've hit you that you have to put your best self forward. As the second week of class begins, we can find a happy medium between looking polished and comfortable. However, with it feeling like the Sahara Desert has relocated to Lawrence, most students who try to look decent for class end up looking like a disgruntled mess. Heat is one factor we can't control but maybe we can find solutions for looking appropriate for class. For girls, to look and feel good about your wardrobe, I suggest that you combine a basic slouchy t-shirt tucked into jean shorts and add a thin braided leather belt. BEN LIPQWITZ/KANSAN Girls can pair a slouched shirt with jean shorts to create a stylish yet comfortable look. Guys can pair seerucker shorts with a white crew neck. When the weather becomes a little bit cooler, pair a bright or patterned scarf with the look. Also, don't be afraid to accessorize with a statement necklace or wear a watch with your sundress to be bold in class. For guys, toss on a pair of bold Chuck Taylors or leather boots with dark slim jeans. If you can't bear to wear pants, toss on a pair of seersucker shorts with a white crew neck. Keep in mind that the more simple the look,the more comfortable you will be. Whether you take an hour to get ready or you have 10 minutes until class starts, there are easy options to get you looking casual and comfortable.

This is Alchemy Coffee, a small shop located on the corner of 19th Street and Massachusetts Street. A mixture of knowledge about science and coffee is used at the shop to make every cup. Alchemy Coffee does not fit the corporate mold of a coffee shop. The coffee is brewed through a meticulous pour over procedure that takes four minutes to complete. "We've calculated everything and know what makes the perfect cup of coffee," barista and University graduate Blake Romine said about the process. According to Romine, the long brew process allows him to talk to customers while they are waiting for their cup. Ben Farmer, owner of the Alchemy Coffee shop, came up with the idea after tinkering around with small sets similar to the current equipment at the shop. The idea to name it came from wanting to encompass the scientific approach we take to making coffee," Farmer said. "We've calculated everything and know what makes the perfect cup of coffee." He said that he wanted people to feel and taste a finer grade of coffee that was crafted precisely and meant more than just a caffeine rush. "When the name 'alchemy' came to mind, it just fit perfectly," Farmer said. The menu consists of pour overs, flash brews, a French press for faster service, iced tea and Alchemy's signature cold brew. BLAKE ROMINE barista For people looking for a snack with their drink the shop also carries an assortment of local treats from Chelsea's Bakehouses of Kansas City. "My philosophy is to keep it as local as possible." Farmer said about the products and ingredients that are used. The shop also carries a series of four beans that customers can choose from for their pour over. One it currently carries is an Ethiopian Wote Konga, a coffee bean that has a blueberry and black walnut flavoring. The beans are rotated periodically in order to give diversity to the coffee brews available. "We are pretty unique compared to other coffee shops," Romine said.

LAWRENCE KS CONTRIBUTED PHOTO MOVIES 'Blue Jasmine:' Woody Allen bores with recycled storyline To say director Woody Allen's past two movies have been Oscar worthy is a bit of an overstatement. In actuality, they've been a little bland. "Midnight in Paris" and "To Rome With Love" are nearly the same, focusing on the simultaneous love lives of many characters as they wander around one European capital or another cheating on their loved ones and meeting Jazz Age writers by happenstance. That's why his most recent movie "Blue Jasmine" was a little worrying: One's alright, two's troubling, and three's just downright obnoxious. Outwardly, though, "Blue Jasmine" seems to take a different approach. "Jasmine" follows the story of Jeanette (Cate Blanchett), a former socialite whose favorite pastimes include narcissism and conversing with thin air. Jeanette, who goes By Maddy Mikinski mmikinski@kansan.com by Jasmine, is forced to leave her opulent home in New York City after her husband Hal (Alec Baldwin) gets sent to the slammer for a whole slew of white-collar crimes. Jasmine's only hope is to turn to her estranged sister Ginger (Sally Hawkins) and try to get her life back on track. With acting heavyweights Blanchett and Baldwin onboard, it seems that "Jasmine" has the possibility of breaking out of the redundant new Allen formula. Blanchett never gives a bad performance and Baldwin can usually scrape together a passable one. Somewhere around the hour and a half marker a little Woody Allen déjà vu starts happening. Suddenly, the movie switches gears from focusing on the broken relationship between two sisters and turns into the dual love story we've come to expect. Significant others are being cheated on and lied to and we're left wondering when our favorite expatriate authors are going to show up. This jarring switch from an intriguing, character-driven film to an overly dramatic plot-driven one is the final nail in this movie's coffin. Jasmine's mental instability is still there, yes, but now it's being overshadowed by a rushed relationship with a man whose house she's decorating. Her sister Ginger's affair with Louis C.K. totally detracts from Jasmine's struggles, even her relationship ones. By the (abrupt) end, "Blue Jasmine" has completely deviated from its original purpose and ventured deeper and deeper into "soap opera" territory. Blanchett is the one person who manages to save this movie. Her stunning performance is the one shining light through "Blue Jasmine" and makes it more enjoyable than it would be otherwise. She gives Jasmine her all, realistically portraying a woman who's down on her luck and trying to find her place in the world twenty years too late. —Edited by Ashleigh Tidwell Blue Jasmine Written and Directed by Woody Allen PERDIDO PRODUCTIONS Recycle, Recycle, Recycle, Recycle Recycle, Recycle, Recycle, Recycle Adjust Your Thinking™ What kind of doctor do you want to be? 1234567890 Scan to find out CLEVELAND CHIROPRACTIC COLLEGE Kansas City 800-467-2252 www.cleveland.edu DINNER or BREAKFAST?

THE INVERSEY DARY KANSAN PRESENTS BACK-TO-SCHOOL BLITZ Volume 126 Issue 6 Tuesday, September 3, 2013 kansan.com THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports COMMENTARY Kansas football may not be worst By Ben Ashworth bashworth@kansan.com The bottom of the Big 12 looked very vulnerable on Saturday. Not coincidentally, Kansas' chances of escaping the basement increased dramatically. Kansas State, to the delight of Kansas fans around the country, laid an egg against the Bison of North Dakota State. The Wildcats were hoping to start the season with a bang, but instead harnessed the momentum of a three-toed sloth. Kansas State rushed for 346 yards against Kansas in last year's blowout, which was indicative of its commitment to the running game throughout the entire season. However, against the Bison, the Wildcats were only able to muster 41 yards on 23 rushing attempts. The loss of Collin Klein to graduation certainly hurts, as he was a dual-threat quarterback who took attention off the running backs, but the Wildcats must find a way to reinvigorate their rushing offense. In addition, the defense must bounce back, especially after allowing a crippling eight and a half minute touchdown drive in the late fourth quarter. Despite these setbacks, Kansas State is not as bad as that loss would suggest. North Dakota State is not your usual FCS squad, and the venerable Bill Snyder will certainly make the requisite adjustments. meanwhile, West Virginia has something Kansas State doesn't; a W in the win column. However, West Virginia looked to be the inferior team as it struggled its way to a comeback win against William and Mary, a team that went 2-9 in the FCS last year. If North Dakota State is the Franklin Roosevelt of the FCS, William and Mary is William Henry Harrison. The Mountaineers could turn the season around if they steal Geno Smith back from the Jets (he probably wouldn't mind), but the talent is simply lacking. With the defense unable to adequately stop a mediocre FCS team, it is unlikely it will be able to hold some of the Big 12 offenses. Iowa State also had a subpar showing against an FCS team, joining Kansas State in the loss column with a 28-20 loss to the Northern Iowa Panthers. It wasn't because Panther alum Ali Farokhmanesh showed up out of nowhere to deliver more devastating daggers to his opponents, but rather because of a poor rush defense and a disappointing third down offense. The biggest obstacle between Kansas and escaping the basement is its schedule. Its three most winnable conference games, West Virginia, Iowa State, and Kansas State respectively, are the last three games of the regular season. It is certainly conceivable that the Jayhawks enter the West Virginia game with an 0-6 conference record. Kansas' confidence could be minimal and its attitude dejected, especially if it fails to avoid blowouts. If Kansas can steal a game at the beginning of the conference season or earn the begrudging respect of the conference's powers, then Kansas fans could see a three-game winning streak to end the season. Such a winning streak would be a nice addendum to Weis' recruiting pitches. Such a winning streak could also send Kansas back into its first bowl game since 2008. Edited by Heather Nelson BIG 12 FOOTBALL PREVIEW PAGE 5B XII BIG 12 CONFERENCE BEAUTIFUL GOOD-“BYE” WEEKEND RECAP PAGE 4B 8 FILE PHOTO/KANSAN Coach Charlie Weis watches his team practice from the sideline last season at Memorial Stadium. DON'T BLINK Weis uses bye week to examine early opponents IMAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com With his team on bye in the opening week of the college football season,Charlie Weis had a few coaching moments based on other games that his players watched. Of course, all eyes were on the Kansas State vs. North Dakota State game, as the Wildcats were stunned 24-21, in Manhattan. "I think that game glaringly caught our players attention." Weis said during the Big 12 media teleconference on Monday morning. With that game being played on Friday night, Weis was able to have a talk with the team on Saturday morning before practice about watching in-state rival and defending Big 12 champion Kansas State lose to an FCS opponent. "Did you pay attention, did you see what happened?" Weis said he told his team. "This isn't any big surprise here fellas, this is what can happen." Weis has a theory that upsets are more likely to occur in the first game of the season because teams like North Dakota State have more time to prepare for their opponents. During the offseason there is plenty of time for coaches to scout their opponents. They can watch the games from last season and then learn what the team might change for the upcoming season through reading and watching media reports on what transpires at fall camp. "The longer time you have to prepare the better chance you have of having your guys ready to go and I think that there were a number of coaches that did a heck of a job this past weekend." Weis said. If preparation is as important as Weis believes it is, then his team should have an added advantage against South Dakota State at home on Saturday. Weis sat in front of his television from noon until midnight watching football and one of the games he took in was South Dakota defeat UC Davis, 10-7. Network. "The longer time you have to prepare the better chance you have of having your guys ready to go. ..." Coaches aren't able to see everything they're looking for by "I ordered it online from the coyote network, trust me," Weis said. "I sat there and my TV was on, I was on my computer and I watched that whole game." It cost Weis $10 to catch that game on South Dakota's Coyote CHARLIE WEIS Kansas Coach watching a game on television, but Weis said there's always something to take note of. Weis said last week that he listens to the announcers during a game to see if they can provide any extra insight, because they've talked with the coaches before the game. The team will likely have something to work on this week based off of what Weis saw while watching that game. But, there could also be a potential advantage for South Dakota in having already played their first game. "I think their coming off a similar season to us and having a little bit of early success in their opener gave them a little bit of a jump start on us because they've already got one under the belt," Weis said. "The second game is usually gonna be better than the first one." It sounds like Weis both enjoyed the weekend and was able to do some scouting that could benefit him early in the season. "It was actually a miserable day, sitting around from noon until midnight watching college football isn't exactly my cup of tea," Weis said, obviously joking. "You just use it to your advantage and do whatever TV scouting you can do." Edited by Hannah Barling VOLLEYBALL Kansas comes back from loss against Arizona BRIAN HILLIX The Kansas women's volleyball team overcame a tough season-opening loss Saturday to sweep the remainder of its matches and tie for first place in the Arizona Invitational. bhillix@kansan.com The Jayhawks struggled out of the gate, losing to a tough Central Arkansas team 21-25, 25-16, 24-26, 24-26. Middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, a redshirt senior from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, led the team with 19 kills in the match Arizona later defeated Central Arkansas in four sets, keeping the door open for Kansas to earn a first-place tie with wins over Morgan State and Arizona. Kansas took care of business in its next match as it swept Morgan State 25-13, 25-23, 25-18 to improve to 1-1 on the year and gain momentum heading into the night match against Arizona. Sara McClinton, a junior from Omaha, and Jarmoc posted double-digit kills with 16 and 11, respectively.

A&M Coach Kevin Sumlin on Manziel's taunting during the game FACT OF THE DAY Kansas State had the second-largest home crowd in its football history at the game against North Dakota State, who they lost to. ESPN.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: How many touchdowns did Johnny Manziel throw for? A: Three ESPN.com THE MORNING BREW College football kicks off This past weekend was the start of everyone's favorite season: college football. The warm, sunny days of taliating are back. The cheering of the fans, the whistle blows by the refs and the screaming from the coaches fill football stadiums around the nation. Although our Jayhawks had the week off, we were not disappointed at all by the games that were played. Of course the biggest story heading into the weekend was the half-game suspension of Johnny Manziel. Only a half-game suspension? Yes, you read that correctly. The NCAA is full of idiots who can't make up their minds. If you're going to suspend him, do it for at least one game, or don't do it at all. When he was able to play again in the second half, he helped ignite Texas A&M to a 52-31 win over Rice, who played a pretty good game. Manziel loves getting attention and during the game he did some taunts, for example, rubbing his By Michael Portman mportman@kansan.com fingers together to gesture money and also air-writing his autograph. Some people like him and some don't. I belong with the dislike crowd. I never have been a fan of his and never will be. After watching all of the football games, I don't think Manziel was the biggest story of Saturday. Did anyone watch the game between Clemson and Georgia? No, eight versus No, five, respectively. That game was a blast to watch and was a great way to kick off the college football season. Clemson ended up beating Georgia 38-35, and although they are both ranked top 10, the Clemson fans still decided to rush the field. Why would they do that? That's very unusual and wasn't necessary at all. Who cares what the fans do, right? Let them have their fun. If you haven't seen the introduction of Clemson's football players into the stadium, you need to go watch it. It is very chilling and deserves some recognition. emming into football. There will always be upsets in college football. That's what makes the game great. There were two upsets in the top 25. No. 19 Boise State was crushed by Washington 38-6. Also, number 25 Oregon State just barely lost to Eastern Washington 49-46. Tough losses for both teams. Although this next upset didn't happen in the top 25, we must stand up and apllaud Kansas State for losing to North Dakota State 24 -21. You know what the best part about that is? KU Kansas State lost at home. I have a feeling that locker room after the game wasn't in the best of moods. feeling thatocker rounds into the game wasn't in the best of moods. With the first week of college football over, we are starting to see how each team plays. I'm excited for the Jayhawks' season to start and it will take time, but just go with it. Who knows, maybe our Hawks can turn it around this year.

That was twice as many upsets as the opening week of 2012. NO SCHEDULED EVENTS ASSOCIATED PRESS The Big 12 is 0-2 against the Missouri Valley Conference, and it took a late touchdown by West Virginia to avoid another opening-weekend loss to an FCS team. "It will grab your attention. Luckily, we were able to get tested and be able to overcome that," said That's the story of the opening week of the season, is who gets beat by somebody they shouldn't," Texas coach Mack Brown said Monday. "There's always a couple, and this year there were a lot more than that." West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen, whose team escaped with a 24-17 win over William & Mary. "At the end of the year, it really doesn't matter what the score was. It's about getting the wins." But that's not supposed to happen to a league like the Big 12, which going into this season was 103-3 against non-FBS teams. The conference in its 18th season almost matched that loss total in one weekend. Defending co-Big 12 champion Kansas State failed to do against two-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State, then Iowa State lost to Northern Iowa. (Baylor beat Wofford 69-3 in its FCS match). The only other FBS leagues with two losses to lower the teams to the American Athletic Conference (former Big East) and Sun Belt. The Sun Belt losers were South Alabama, in its first season as a full-fledged FBS team, and Georgia State, a team still making that transition. Not exactly the company the Big 12 wants to be in when the goal is break the SEC's string of seven consecutive national championships. "It's all about the final product and how we finish the year, not how we start the year," Holgorsen said. "There's going to be a lot of positive things happen in the Big 12, there's going to be a lot of great games to be played, and at the end of the year, we'll see how we stack up." Big 12 teams have three more games against FCS teams this week, including Kansas playing South Dakota in its season opener. Texas Tech plays coach Kliff Kingsbury's home debut against Stephen F. Austin, and TCU hosts Southeastern Louisiana. West Virginia goes to Oklahoma for the first game this season that counts in the Big 12 standings. The Sooners and Texas don't play any FCS opponents this year. "There's always talk in the first week or the second week about who's the best conference," Brown said. "I think you need to look at the end of the season at the body of work."

The rest of the two teams watched as Salazar took a penalty kick in the 18th minute of the game following a Purdue foul in the box on Kansas junior midfielder Jamie Fletcher. The redshirt-sophomore midfielder sized up her opponent, and kicked it low and out of reach of Kridler. Her goal was the beginning of an offensive show by the Jayhawks, which earned the team a 4-1 victory over Purdue. "The goal for the weekend was to score and have attacking opportunities," Salazar said. "I think changing the shape of the team helps me and [Fletcher] to have the freedom to move everywhere on the field. That was a key today." The jayhawks implemented a new formation on Sunday. Coach Mark Francis said the team only started discussing it Saturday, but the team executed it well. He said the new formation allowed more freedom for the tackle players, and it pushed Salazar forward more. "Offensively this was our best game by far," Francis said. "We obviously scored three goals last week, but I think we created a lot more chances today." the jayhawks added to the lead at the end of the first half when many of the starters were off the field. Sophomore forward Ashley Williams took the ball, which was played by freshman forward Ashley Pankey past the goalkeeper. Williams continued her aggressiveness in the second half with two good opportunities — one that barely missed the net She finished with five shots, four of which were on goal. More importantly, the Jayhawks success on the field could be attributed to their defensive effort. The Boilermakers had scored 12 goals in their first three games of the season. They earned Kansas outshot Purdue 23-14. their last victory Friday 4-1 against Northern Illinois. Francis said. "The goal for the weekend was to score and have attacking opportunities." Purdue scored its first goal late in the second half. Senior defender Jordan Pawlik scored the goal in the same manner as Salazar scored hers — a penalty kick. Pawlik shot the ball to the right and out of Stroud's reach. The layhawks were efficient Sunday in containing Purdue's scoring opportunities, Freshman Tayler Estrada, who is listed as a midfielder, started Sunday at defender. Estrada quickly swarmed Purdue players who got close to the goal. When redshirt-junior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud was tied up during an offensive stand by the Boilermakers, Estrada was there to kick a Purdue shot out of the goal. Despite the near shutout, Francis wanted to see more from his defense in the new formation. LIANA SALAZAR redshirt-sophomore midfielder Senior Caroline Kastor scored "The defensive part of it when we lose the ball, we've got to tweak a little bit, especially defending the ball in wide spaces," Kansas' third goal and was assisted by Fletcher. Sophomore forward Courtney Dickerson headed in Kastor's cross for the team's fourth and final goal. Salazar, Williams and Dickerson scored their first goals of the season in Sunday's win. Kastor's goal was her second. After the game, Kastor said the victory showed the potential and talent of the team. The win over Purdue marked Kansas' third victory in a row. Kansas defeated Missouri State Friday on a late goal by junior midfielder Kelsey Lyden. The game was scoreless until Lyden's goal with four minutes left. Lyden was assisted by Fletcher, who led the team that night with four shots. The Kansas soccer team will head to Tempe, Ariz. this weekend. The Jayhawks will match-up against Arizona and Arizona State. KIA FILE PHOTO/KANSAN Edited by Heather Nelson Redshirt-sophomore midfielder Liana Salazar clears the ball in the first half of a Kansas win over Texas in 2011. NFL Gabbert could start against Chiefs JACKSONVILLE. Fla. — Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert could be ready to start in Sunday's regular-season opener against Kansas City. He threw passes in practice Monday and after suffering a hairline fracture of the thumb on; his throwing hand in the team's second preseason game against the New York Jets. Gabbert missed the final two preseason games against Philadelphia and Atlanta. The QB did some light throwing over the weekend and increased his throws in Monday's practice. "I'm very optimistic and it's healing well, about as fast as it can at this point." Gabbert said. "You're going to feel good some days and some days not so much but at the same time the more I can do out there the more reps I can get it's going to help me mentally and physically." "it's uncomfortable, but at the same time, it's just something you can't worry about," Gabbert said. preseason games for the Jaguars and would replace Gabbert if he wasn't ready to play on Sunday. The Jaguars also signed third-year quarterback Ricky Stanzi off waivers from Kansas City last week. Stanzi was on the Chiefs active roster the last two seasons but has yet to play in an NFL game. Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said he was pleased with Gabbert's progress Chad Henne started the final two over the weekend. "He was able to grip the ball over the weekend and now is working hard with our trainers getting ready to play." Bradley said. "I think it's the next step in his recovery to get back, so we'll just follow the protocol. We liked what we saw." Only two players were held out of Monday's practice — defensive end Jeremy Mincey and offensive guard Will Rackley. Jaguars coach Gus Bradley says both should be ready to return on Wednesday. Running back Justin Forsett, who has been sidelined since the first week of training camp, practiced Monday.

Kansas lost 41-34 at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas on Nov. 10 This Year: Oct. 5 at Memorial Stadium Players to Watch: Freshman Baker Mayfield (QB), sophomore Michael Brewer (QB), senior Kerry Hyder (DE) Texas Tech is one of the Big 12 schools with a quarterback controversy. Sophomore Michael Brewer was projected to start for the Red Raiders before a back injury in fall workouts forced coach Kliff Kingsbury to go with freshman walk-on Baker Mayfield — who just happened to have a monster game. Mayfield was 43-of-60 for 413 yards with four touchdowns. Mayfield will definitely be getting another consideration for the starter position upon Brewer's return, but Kingsbury, a former Mike Leach pupil, must have liked what he saw from Mayfield. TCU WONNEN FROGS TCU Last year: Kansas lost 20-6 at home on Sept. 15 This Year: Oct. 12 at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas Players to Watch: Senior Casey Pachall (QB), sophomore Trevone Boykin (QB), sophomore Devonte Fields (DE) OU TCU returns for its second season in the Big 12 as one of the league's top contenders. The Horned Frogs opened the season ranked No. 20, but an excusable 37-27 loss to LSU may drop that. The biggest problem for TCU is its quarterback situation. Casey Pachall got the start against LSU, but sophomore Trevone Boykin took most of the second half snaps. Pachall finished the game 9-of-16 passing for 75 yards compared to Boykin's 6-of-12 performance. It's too hard to tell which quarterback will grab the top spot — the race may continue into the beginning of conference play. Oklahoma Last year: Kansas lost 52-7 at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla., on Oct. 20 This Year: Oct. 19 at Memorial Stadium Players to Watch: Freshman Trev or Knight (QB), senior Damien Williams (RB) (依法须经批准的项目,经相关部门批准后方可开展经营活动) The Sooners opened up the season at No. 16 and routed Louisiana-Monroe 34-0 in their season opener, but a lot of eyes are still on the team's quarterback situation. Knight prevailed as the starter over Blake Bell in perhaps the conference's most watched quarterback battle, but a less-than-dazing opening performance could still leave room for the belldozer. Knight went 11-of-28 performance for 86 yards with one interception and three touchdowns. Last Year: Kansas lost 41-14 at Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco, Texas, on Nov. 3 BAYLOR BEARS Baylor This Year: Oct. 26 at Memorial Stadium The Bears may very well be the underdog contender for the Big 12 title. Behind the Big 12 preseason offensive player of the year, Lache Seastrunk, and seven returning defensive starters, the Bears are a serious threat to cause chaos in the Big 12. The biggest question for the Bears will be at the quarterback position, where junior Bryce Petty will have a chance to show what he's made of after years in the shadows of Robert Griffin III and Nick Florence. Players to Watch: Junior Lache Seastrunk (RB), senior Tevin Reese (WR) --- Texas Last Year: Kansas lost 21-17 at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 27 This Year: Nov. 2 at Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas Players to Watch: Junior David Ash (QB), senior Mike Davis (WR) As the most experienced quarterback in the Big 12, David Ash hopes to lead Texas astray from a string of crummy seasons. Texas is a good bet to make a run at Oklahoma State for the top of the Big 12, and with nine returning defensive starters the squad is equipped to do so. An experienced quarterback and defense are hard-to-come-by qualities in the Big 12 and because Texas possesses both, it had a legitimate chance to run the conference table. Oklahoma State Oklahoma State Last Year: Kansas lost 20-14 at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, on Oct. 13 This Year: Nov. 9 at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Okla. Players to Watch: Junior Josh Stewart (WR), sophomore J.W. Walsh (QB) season with a dominant 21-3 win over SEC opponent Mississippi State, and in doing so, officially named J.W. Walsh as the starting quarterback moving forward. The Cowboys opened the season ranked No. 13 and can be easily identified as the team to beat in the Big 12. The Big 12 favorites started the West Virginia West Virginia lost Geno Smith. Smith was the face of the Mountaineer program for nearly his entire career in Morgantown, and without him, West Virginia will not be the same. The Mountaineers lack leadership without Smith, and may encounter a few wakeup calls throughout the season. The Mountaineers almost had one last Saturday, before they came back from a 17-7 halftime deficit to William and Mary to win 24-17 at home.

PAGE 6B TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3., 2013 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Kansas opens season with victories at home course DANIEL HARMSEN dharmsen@kansan.com The final day of August marked the beginning of the season for the Kansas Cross Country teams. The Kansas men and women's teams both defeated Oral Roberts and UMKC at the Bob Timmons Classic on Saturday, marking the 11th-straight season-opener win for the men. Men's coach Stanley Redwine held his top, experienced runners out of the meet, so six of the nine men suiting up for Kansas on Saturday were freshmen. Kansas came out on top placing five runners in the top 15 and seven runners in the top 25. Freshman Tyler Yunk from Belvidere, Ill., took home first place in his premiere college meet with a 19:34:19 6k. Yunk was followed closely by Kansas third place finisher Alexandre Lavigne, a freshman from Quebec City, and seventh place finisher Brendan Soucie, a junior from Osawatomie. From the moment the gun went off the Kansas pack asserted itself behind the Gator at the front. The athletes navigated the course without much contention. Oral Roberts snuck a few runners into the front pack, but Kansas had a stronghold on the top positions for the majority of the race. Rim Rock Farm's is known for its hilly, winding terrain, but Tyler Yunk was more than ready for them. "I really enjoy this place," Yunk and about his new home-course. "I came out here on my visit and looking at all these hills I was taken aback. I didn't know Kansas was this hilly." Yunk set out to dispel any concerns that he couldn't run hills. "I love Rim Rock, so I was really excited to run here. I like the hills. I know that's kind of weird, but I like the challenge." "I wanted to show that I can do hills and hit them hard like here," he continued. "If you can master hills, you can destroy any race." Although Yunk left a lot of those in attendance impressed, Yunk has one thing on his mind after taking gold: get faster. "I can't come away from this race all high and mighty," Yunk said. "I need to keep pushing harder than I have already." from young, new faces. Four of the top six runners on the women's side were Kansas freshmen. A healthy amount of the productivity for the Kansas women came Freshmen tennifer Angles, Grace Morgan, Lydia Saggau, and Nashia Baker took second, third, fourth, and sixth, respectively.

FILE PHOTO/KANSAN Woman completes record-breaking swim to Florida ASSOCIATED PRESS KEY WEST, Fla. — Looking dazed and sunburned, U.S. endurance swimmer Diana Nyad walked ashore Monday, becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the help of a shark cage. The 64-year-old Nyad swam up to the beach just before 2 p.m. EDT, about 53 hours after starting her journey from Havana on Saturday. As she approached, spectators waded into waist-high water and surrounded her, taking pictures and cheering her on. "I have three messages. One is, we should never, ever give up. Two is, you are never too old to chase your dream. Three is, it looks like a solitary sport, but it is a team," she said on the beach. "I have to say. I'm a little bit out of it right now," Nyad said. She gestured toward her swollen lips, and simply said "seawater." Her team said she had been slurring her words while out in the water. She was placed on a stretcher on the beach and received an IV before she was taken by ambulance to a hospital. But her doctor later declared her essentially healthy and expected her to recover quickly from dehydration, swelling and sunburn. "I just wanted to get out of the sun,"she said after coming ashore on a scorching, sunny day amid calm seas. It was Nadad's fifth attempt and what she had said would be her last try to complete the approximately 110-mile swim. She tried three times in 2011 and 2012. Her first attempt was in 1978. "It's historic, marvelous," said Jose Miguel Diaz, Escrich, the Hemingway Marina commodore who helped organize the Cuba side of Nyad's multiple attempts. "I always thought she could do it given her internal energy, her mental and physical strength, her will of iron," said Diaz Escrich, whom Nyad has called a longtime friend. "More than the athletic feat, she wants to send a message of peace, love, friendship and happiness ... between the people of the United States and Cuba," he added. President Barack Obama was among a flurry of public officials and celebrities who tweeted congratulations. The president's tweet read: "Never give up on your dreams." Nyad's previous try was cut short amid boat trouble, storms, unfavorable currents and jellyfish stings that left her face puffy and swollen. at night, when jellyfish rise to the surface. The new silicone mask caused bruises inside her mouth, making it difficult for her to speak, she told her team as she neared land. Doctors traveling with Nyad had been worried about her slurred speech and her breathing, but didn't intervene, according to Nyad's website.

The squad finished in a three-way tie for first place in the Arizona Invitational after dropping its first match of the season and winning its next two. The Jayhawks continue their road trip with six of the next seven games away from Horesii Family Athletics Center. The Jawhaws defeated the Kangaroos last season 25-15, 25-17, 25-17 at home on Sept. 4 2012. Red-shirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc set the tone with 16 kills and 7 blocks in the match. Senior setter Erin McNorton led the offensive attack with 33 assists while senior libero Brianne Riley anchored the defense with 17 digs. Kansas will see some familiar faces in Swinney Recreation Center. Christi Posey, the head coach of UMKC, spent 11 years as the assistant coach at Kansas. This will be her third season as the head coach of the Kangaroos, UMKC associate head coach Trent Jones also has roots in Kansas as he served as a volunteer assistant from 2002-04. The Kangaroos are 1-2 after opening their season at the Arkansas Invitational. Quick hits: - The match will be the home opener for the Kangaroos - Kansas is 18-0 all-time against UMKC, including three road victories - Kansas went 9-5 on the road last season - Kansas also finished 2-1 to open the 2012 season after the Arkansas Invitational Last three meetings: UMKC @ Kansas - Win, 3-0 (10/27/09) UMKC @ Kansas – Win, 3-0 (8/31/10) UMKC @ Kansas – Win, 3-0 (9/4/12) Edited by Heather Nelson 9 ALDENA 1 OXS 12 12 14 Junior outside hitter Sara McClinton, junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers and senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc block a spike during a game against Texas at Horesjsi Family Athletics during the 2011 season.

"We don't look at others' expectations," Albers said. "We look to exceed our own." Albers attributed the slow start to tentative play and too many errors. The Jayhawks responded by winning six of the next seven sets. "We tried to make too many shots and we didn't trust in each other as much as we should have," Albers said. "After that match, we really began to trust in each other as a team." Albers set career highs with 16 kills and 18 digs in the match against Arizona. Both Albers and McClinton were named to the All-Tournament Team after a tournament total of 34 and 37 kills respectively. Kansas went 2-1 for the weekend to earn a three-way tie for first place with Arizona and Central Arkansas. Morgan State went 0-3. The layhawks have a busy week ahead as they play three matches in five days. First, they travel to Kansas City, Mo., on Tuesday, Sept. 3, to take on UMKC at 7 p.m. Coach Ray Bechard plans to make good use of the team's limited practice schedule this week by continuing to work on pass and serve drills and improving the team's blocking and initial line of defense. "We can learn a lot from the slow start," Bechard said. Coach Bechard earned his 250th career win after victories over Morgan State and Arizona on Saturday. Bechard has the most wins in the program's history. "The best part of it all was that we got a win," Bechard said. "We knew we needed to respond after the first match and we really stepped up."

DIVERSITY IN DANCE Israeli dancer teaches alternative styles to University students KATIE MCBRIDE kmcbride@kansan.com the KU Department of Dance welcomes an internationally known guest artist this fall for a semester-long residency. Talia Beck, a celebrated Israeli dancer and choreographer, has arrived to teach her version of modern dance, which will include a culmination of the various techniques and disciplines she accumulated during her years as a dancer. Beck says she doesn't want to limit her interaction with the students to giving information, and rather hopes that they are able to exchange ideas and figure out their style together. "In some schools or strict disciplines, we get so obsessed with technique and getting it right, Beck said. "I would like us to share joy in movement, and I think that the dance department at KU has that; I've seen it in the students. They just enjoy moving, and it's not something I see everywhere." One of the ways she plans to get students thinking about their ing on each of their senses.

Beck brings a unique perspective to the world of dance, and worked for years for the Inbal Pinto and Avshalom Pollak Dance Company, a notable dance company in Israel. TALIA BECK Israeli dance artist Her time at the University is made possible through a residency that is part of the Schusterman Visiting Israeli Artist Program. The program sends Israeli filmmakers, writers, musicians, choreographers and other artists to cultural organizations and universities across North America. Beck and nine other visiting artists will be in residences in the United States through this year's program. The hope is that the artists will introduce and educate others about Israeli culture through the interaction within their communities. Ever since I started telling people I was coming here, everybody's been talking about how amazing Lawrence is and how KU is such a special place. I have to say, I've only been here a few days and I feel it already," Beck said.

However, with the help of University professors and alumni it can also be a place to build connections that will lead to your first job. Thirty years ago, Professor Bur dett Loomis created an internship program in D.C. to help ease the financial burden that students face and give students experience in their respective fields. YOUNG 1945 Loomis Students must make their own travel arrangements, pay for credits per hour, spend time with other students in the program and adapt to a different environment. D.C. or bust Students are responsible for finding a full-time internship while the program provides housing and weekly seminars to connect students with professionals in D.C. Loomis said students often believe the stereotype that D.C. only consists of politicians. He said he stresses to students each year that this isn't true. "Year after year, students find great internships that we never knew existed." Loomis said. "It's a good preparation for finding a job." "Even though it seems very political, the fact is people with useable skills — whatever they are, from any major — really are attractive to people in D.C.," Loomis said. Many internships in D.C. are unpaid. However, students negotiate the parameters of their internship, such as pay and time off. Building connections Dustin Morris, senior from Wichita, spent last spring as a paid intern for Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas. "D.C. wouldn't run without interns," Morris said. Morris said he spent his internship doing some menial work, like answering phones and giving tours, but he was also able to research foreign policy, a topic of his choosing. He had lunch with Moran and his wife, went on a tour of the Capitol dome with the senator and served as photographer for Moran at an event. Unlike many interns in D.C., Morris said he was able to meet and talk with the senator he worked under. Loomis said that most seniors who go through the program and seek a job are able to find one, whether it's with the organization the student interneed at or through a connection a student made while in D.C. Through connections Morris made in D.C.,he got a job at a political consulting firm in Kansas City. "While the senator's time was very valuable, he would make it point to chat with the interns when he arrived to the office in the morning." Morris said. "People come from all over the country to be in D.C.,but the Finding a job Kansas community in D.C. is really strong." Loomis said. "We have lots of alums who are eager to help."

Although Student Senate passed a resolution that laid out an 18-hour Spanish minor to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences last February, recent state budget cuts to education as well as other concerns like faculty and GTA workloads make the Spanish & Portuguese Department uncertain if the minor can be offered with existing resources. "Adding a new program to a highly-enrolled department such as Spanish & Portuguese requires careful consideration and planning," said Professor Jorge Perez, the acting Chair of the Spanish & Portuguese Department said in an email. He added that the department is working closely with the Dean's office of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to maintain the quality of classes in the program and determine required resources. Despite some progress toward creating a Spanish minor, students have expressed surprise and frustration at the lack of a current offering. "For a University that prides itself on the amount of languages available to students, a minor of such a critical language in the U.S. seems like something that should be offered," said Joey Hentzler, a junior from Topeka. He decided to pursue a Latin American & Caribbean studies minor because the University didn't offer a Spanish minor. Codi Ehrlich, a senior from Dodge City, also believes the University should offer a Spanish minor. She said she is majoring in Spanish because she wanted to learn the language, but because she is majoring in biology as well, her graduation plans were affected A minor would have been more convenient. "Language takes a long time to learn; I'm still learning even with a degree," said James Baker, a graduate student from Coppell, Texas, who graduated in 2012 from the University with Spanish and Latin American studies degrees. He further added that a minor would only be a resume builder and wouldn't indicate language proficiency. Despite frustration from some that the University doesn't offer a minor, others think it is for the best. Professor Perez echoed this point and said that one advantage of the major is more exposure to the subject, which results in better linguistic abilities. Despite the ongoing debate over whether there should be a Spanish minor offered by the University, everyone interviewed shared a passion for the language and its culture. Hentzler said that learning Spanish has made a new world full of different cultures and literature available to him.

Parking is atrocious, the hill is steep and textbooks are very expensive, which is causing students to take desperate measures in order to save a dollar. Textbook costs have been steadily rising for years and students are always looking for alternatives. If possible, most "If the resources are there, I'm going to take advantage of them." This ethical concern is something that should be on the mind of anyone choosing to obtain his or her textbooks in this manner. Although this process is not exactly ethical, this will not deter most students when comparing the money they're saving to the moral concerns of getting their textbooks for free. "If the resources are there, I'm going to take advantage of them. If textbook publishers don't feel bad about charging one to two MARK RHINEHART Senior from Piper of using e-textbooks as a viable alternative. Through the use of e-readers such as the iPad and Kindle, students can purchase electronic versions of their books at a steep discount when compared to the new print version. Even professors support the idea of students saving money and taking advantage of electronic options. "I really like the option of e-textbooks for students. Textbook authors and publishers should be reaching out to students in the students' preferred media," said Chuck Marsh, a professor in the School of journalism. However, as recently as this past year, some students have started pirating their textbooks from online resources with the use of torrents in order to avoid textbook costs entirely. This emerging trend raises a number of ethical questions, since technically this is "stealing" the works of authors, some of which are Kansas professors. "If we knowingly and illegally take the property of others, I think we damage ourselves and our potential to lead rich, full lives," said Marsh. hundred dollars for a single book, then I'm not going to feel bad for saving as much," said Mark Rhinehart, a senior from Piper. Victoria Ragan, a senior from Overland Park, chooses to avoid the idea of e-textbooks and piracy DOWNLOAD NOW DOWNLOAD NOW altogether. "Other people pirating textbooks doesn't bother me, although I don't do it myself. I prefer having a physical book to write in, mark up and bookmark things that I find important." Marsh also addresses a concern that could possibly fuel students in their desire to pirate the works of professors. The misconception that professors are writing new editions of their books simply to make more money is dispelled in the regulations concerning the assignment of a personal work to students. "At KU, if we assign our own textbook to our students, we return any profits we make on those sales to our academic units so that we're not earning money from our own students," said Marsh.

These questions and more will continue to shape this debate until a solution that meets the expectations of both sides is found. Edited by Kayla Overbey WANT NEWS UPDATES ALL DAY LONG?

Sam Brownback, left, on Aug. 20 in Topeka. Stegall has served as the governor's chief counsel since 2011 and now faces Senate confirmation to take his place in court. ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA — A Kansas Senate committee approved Gov. Sam Brownback's nomination of his chief counsel to the state Court of Appeals after questioning him about past writings on social and political issues. The Judiciary Committee's voice vote sends Caleb Stegall's nomination to the full Senate for a debate and vote, both of which are expected Wednesday. Brownback's fellow Republicans have a supermajority in the chamber, making confirmation a near certainty. Stegall faced questions during the committee's confirmation hearing about comments in 2005 in an online magazine he edited that encouraged "forcible resistance" to state and federal court orders in an effort to save the life of a brain-damaged Florida woman. He said the magazine was only advocating civil disobedience. He ducked questions about his personal views on capital punishment, school funding and gun rights, noting that those issues might come before the court. "The role of a judge is strictly to apply the law as it exists to the facts at hand," Stegall said. "It is certainly not the role of a Court of Appeals judge to change the law." Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeff King, an Independence Republican, said the hearing demonstrated that Stegall has the right temperament for the bench. The only committee member voting against Stegall's nomination was Sen. Pat Pettey, a Kansas City Democrat, who said she has concerns about Stegall's conservative views and whether his appointment will compromise judicial independence because of his close ties to the governor. Sen. David Haley, also of Kansas City and the committee's only other Democrat, abstained to protest the selection process. Stegall's appointment was the first under a law that took effect in July, changing how Court of Appeals judges are selected. Under the old system, still in place for Kansas Supreme Court seats, a nominating commission led by lawyers screened applicants and named three finalists, with no role for lawmakers after the governor's appointment. Now, the governor's office screens the candidates and Brownback makes the appointment, subject to Senate confirmation. Brownback declined to release the name of the other dozen candidates for the vacancy, and his critics have said that makes it hard to judge whether Stegall Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, called the appointment "the worst kind of political cronyism." was the best-qualified candidate. Stegall, 41, served two years as Jefferson Stegall also was an attorney in private practice, best known for defending four Americans County's elected prosecutor before joining Brownback's staff when the governor took office in January 2011. detained in Haiti after trying to "The role of a judge is strictly to apply the law as it exists to the facts at hand."

Hensley raised Hensley raised the question Hensley said the editorial's criticism of the courts raised questions about Stegall's fitness for the bench. about a 2005 editorial in The New Pantagruel, the online magazine edited by Stegall, about Terri Schiavo, whose case in Florida inspired a national debate when courts ordered the removal of life support. But Stegall told the committee that the comments had been mischaracterized and that civil disobedience repeatedly has advanced the cause of human rights. He also said embracing civil disobedience includes accepting that laws nevertheless will be enforced, views he described as "completely harmonious with the role of a judge." He said he will be fair and impartial and said any nominee would bring "a former life" to the role.

Jake Heaps is married. Sometimes I ride the bus from the schol halls to the rec just to laugh at the irony Is North Dakota State gonna make "Kansas State Champs" shirts now since they've beat us and KSU in football? New Mrs. E's, still the same old floppy bacon. Its a very unsettling feeling when a grown man standing next to you at the urinals decides to pee without using his hands because he's too busy texting. Every time I see people get on a bus from the back the urge to buy myself a cattle prod increases. Tues. & Thurs. 75 min lectures are cruel. I may as well be one big middle finger crossing the street. I finally saw Perry Ellis in the Underground!

That Tuesday felt an awful lot like a Monday. if the US is really committed to beating the obesity epidemic, then I'll have to wait even longer for machines at the gym. Apparently Wiggins was named a preseason "All-American." Think about that for a second. Living off campus basically means that there is never food in my body until 7m. Every door should be an automatic door. Hot jogger girls will be the death of my car one day. I think probably everyone on campus has seen me picking my nose by now. Senator McCain and I don't see eye-to-eye on political matters, but we both love playing VIP Poker during lectures.

INTERNATIONAL Sensationalist media desensitizes viewers to reality I was eating homemade Oreo balls on the couch when I realized how America felt about Syria. There's something very disturbing in living so far from global problems that they feel like well-produced TV shows that just happen to play on CNN. It's a sign of overexposure to a violent world and a dangerous attitude of good, old-fashioned American arrogance. They were glued together by a thick layer of sludge - the Oreo balls, I mean - and each one took some jimmying to work free. A series of tweets buzzed on my phone mid-bite, reports that nearly guaranteed American intervention in the Syrian conflict, and I didn't even flinch. I was using a copy of the New York Times with the same dire headlines as a coaster. I'd nonchalantly scroll past images of shelled-out neighborhoods and hospitals bloated with sarin gas victims. I was more interested in eating horrible junk food than giving five seconds to one of the worst humanitarian crises of the past decade. And I call myself informed. And I call myself informed. We live in America with two gargantuan saltwater moats protecting us. From dead-center-of-the-map Kansas, even Washington, D.C., seems to be a world away. In an age where I can Skype with someone from Denmark with a click, I feel strangely isolated from most of the world. By Wil Kenney wkenney@kansan.com It's the fault of my coddled upbringing and a news corps that frames world events like spectator sports. Reports on riots and warzones are flashy, violent, and bite-sized. They're cut to look like action-movie scenes mixed with football games. Death toll infographics and SportsCenter-like analysis add spice to the crumbling of nations. I'm left entertained but unmoved. When I wake up each morning, it's a flood of apocalyptic informa tion: fires ravaging the west, Syria imploding, the NSA harvesting my information, Miley Cyrus's racial appropriation. It becomes, at best, brainless entertainment and, at worst, white noise. We're all plugged in but tuned out. As young as I am, I've already been numbed to the horrors of natural disasters and war. My most prominent childhood memory was 9/11. My connectivity has overloaded me with tragedy. Global conflicts have become a cruel and disgusting background to daily life that I acknowledge but ignore to spend more time micro-managing Twitter and finishing homework. The solution to this haze of security is the worst kind. The Boston Marathon bombings were a wake-up call, just one in a long string of them. It worked for a few weeks, a month or two maximum, before falling back into the already saturated timeline of tragedies. Even worse is that I can't think of a better method of kick-starting the collective psyche. It becomes a race to the bottom, a contest to shock the American public into getting off of their couches. In the downward spiral, the worst is always yet to come. And here I am, still eating my Oreo ball, wondering when I can get another one and if I can get a Reese's version, disturbingly ignorant of what the real world is like. Wil Kenney is a sophomore majoring in journalism from Leawood. LIFESTYLE Students eliminating negative influences to acheive goals To the chagrin of several of my friends and family members, I'm pretty vocal about the fact that I'm a feminist. I'm constantly reading and sharing articles about body image, self-confidence, emphasis on brains instead of boobs, all that good stuff. I am very open about it, and I like to think I live my life according to that interest. Recently, however, I was browsing Twitter and saw a post that was totally demeaning to women. Then I scanned my feed and saw several other tweets that, while not outright offensive, still made me runch my nose a little. They came from humor accounts like @MensHumor, @ SororityProblems, @Womens-Humor, @CommonWhiteGirl, @ OhHeWantsTheP - really? - @ totalfratmove, the list goes on and on. By Lindsey Mayfield lmayfield@kansan.com Believe me, I'm not thrilled about publicizing that I follow any of these. When you're 18 and have your first Twitter account, you see 300,000 followers and one witty remark and you're sold. But now that I'm nearly 22 and use my Twitter for things like networking and sharing ideas, do the same rules really apply? Here's the funny thing, though. When I went to unfollow all those accounts, I was actually hesitant. Why? Because they are HILARIOUS. Most of them are damn funny, and for every tweet that makes me cringe, there's another that makes me laugh because I too, have walked out of Target with $150 worth of useless workout gear, chapstick and Red Bull. This is true for other aspects of life, as well. How many of us have friends who are detrimental to our life goals, but whom we keep around just because they make us laugh? How many of us vow to read or study or work more, but instead spend our time watching reality television because it's a guilty pleasure? The beginning of a new school year is a time to make changes in our lives. But all the list-making inspiration boards and good intentions in the world won't work effectively if we continue to let negative aspects of our lives linger. As an avid organizer and goal-setter, it pains me to say that. But it's true. If you're trying to make a positive change, why not surround yourself with media that is positive, uplifting and true to what you believe? Eventually, I unfollowed all the accounts and I will continue to eliminate others when I see a pattern of messages with which I disagree. By following those users, I was essentially saying, "I support this," no matter how they filled their 140-character limit. I was publicly following, favoring and retweeting individuals who, just as often as not, were wildly contradicting the things I believe, even in the name of humor. It's not about whether people will ever take the time to look up whom I follow and judge me for it. It's not about whether you believe Twitter should be a place for entertainment, social issues or advertising. It's about surrounding yourself with ideas that are uplifting and meaningful. And I need that a whole lot more than I need a joke about impulse buys at Target. Lindsey Mayfield is a senior from Overland Park studying journalism, public policy and leadership.

HEALTH Rehabilitation process demands care, time I've taken this same concussion test six times before. I don't want to take it a seventh. But I take it, because I know I have to. I just want this appointment to be over. After playing soccer for 15 years, I can't say that I'm surprised that so much is wrong with my body. Whether it's the frequent headaches, the way my joints and bones pop whenever I walk around or even just a deep ache in my shoulders or knees, it all adds up quickly and takes a toll on my body. In 15 years of playing soccer, I suffered four concussions. I broke more than ten bones and had countless sprains and strains. Like I said, they add up. I may not have been able to prevent the injuries themselves, but I definitely made them worse by not taking the rehabilitation process as seriously as I should have. There were so many times where I should have been sidelined longer, but I returned earlier rather than fully healing. This past high school season, I separated my shoulder with four weeks left in the season. I went to the doctor and he said it would be a one-to-two month injury if I wanted it to fully heal. I remember straight up lying to my trainer, and lying to my coach that it was only a two-week injury so that I could return sooner. Crazy right? Now that's just one example, but it shows how insensitive I was to my own body. With my all concussions — with the exception of the last one — I am almost positive that I came back too early. My frequent headaches come and go, but they are usually consistent from day-to-day and differ in severity, depending on how much I do that day. The doctor walks in, along with my parents. He says that I scored well on my concussion test. I don't really care though; it doesn't make my head hurt any less, it By GJ Melia gmelia@kansan.com Now, I sit in this doctor's office, being told what I can and cannot do. I'm being told when we need to make another appointment and where I need to pick up my new prescription headache pills. I don't want to be here, I just want to play soccer. doesn't dismiss the fact that I have headaches constantly. My last conclusion came last February and effectively ended my soccer career. But my last concussion wasn't all bad — it made me realize that I needed to stop putting myself in position to get hurt. I needed to begin taking more precautions. And I needed to begin dealing with my temporary pains, so that I wouldn't end up in a lifetime of pain. When I think back to my concussions, I really wish I would have taken more time off. But it really is difficult to take time off when you feel as though you're letting down your teammates. Whenever I got hurt, I never thought about the future. I thought about getting healthy as soon as possible, because I didn't want to miss an opportunity to play. I finally began to realize what the doctors had been preaching to me throughout my many emergency room visits. I started to see that my body wasn't going to last long if I continued to play sports at my previous level of competition. THE KU GJ Melia is a freshman majoring in journalism from Praire Village.

The characters were dynamic and the plot compelled me to watch particular episodes over and over again in case I didn't catch all of the details. Character Stiles Stillski's monologue in the episode "Battle-field" was moving. Writer and producer Jeff Davis won me over with the insertion of the Winston Churchill quotation, "If you're going through hell, keep going." I was thrilled for season three and the addition of the Alpha Pack. But while watching the first episode, I felt as if Davies laughed in my face and stomped on my wooing heart. As the season continued, my obsession with "Teen Wolf" dwindled. Season three failed in one major way: storytelling. It started way too fast with way too many questions left unanswered. Season two ended with the shapeshifting Kanima's defeat, thanks to Lydia melting Jackson's cold, cold heart. The power of love defeated Gerard and gave Jackson his long-awaited werewolf body. Season three has jackson living in London, and we can all say "Adios!" to any shred of By Emily Brown ebrown@kansan.com a world-moving relationship. So, the finale of season two was marked meaningless. From there, everything went downhill for me: Erica dies. Boyd dies pretty soon after. Derek Hale's sister is alive? Oh, darn. So is Gerard. Someone is killing virgins. Great. Allison and Isaac a thing? Stop. Please All of this was handled with an amateur and sloppy hand. The Davis I knew, with his touches of subtle but understandable storytelling, was gone with the wind. With all the new developments, everything just seems forced. I get that Davis can't control whether an actor leaves the show. But how he handled it made important character deaths seem flippant. Two of my favorite characters were killed off, just like that. It only gets worse as the season progresses. Why are Derek's eyes blue? Because of another past tragic love story. Poor Derek had so much potential as a character, but instead he's defined by past relationships. And his fling? Yep, she's the one sacrificing the virgins. Derek is now the show's punching bag, which doesn't allow any real character development. The only real redeeming plot point of this season is the revelation that Lydia is a banshee. That has potential to bring up lots of fun for part two of the season. And I do have to admit that in previous seasons,the last couple episodes have been vital in regards to plot. But if you lose your audience before those episodes, what's the point? Don't get me wrong. "Teen Wolf" isn't ruined. But Davis does need to work on his storytelling. Big time. Less fight scenes and more getting to know the characters. Cherish the characters because that is why the fans keep coming back. Edited by Kayla Overbey TEEN WOLF MTV MUSIC New Neko Case album stirs listeners' emotions DUNCAN MCHENRY dmchenrv@kansan.com The smallest nuances and touches of detail often make the work of a skilled artist great. Neko Case, American singer-songwriter known for a successful solo career and member of Canadian band The New Pornographers, crafts her music in the same way that a renowned painter approaches visual art. Case's new album "The Worse Things Go, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More But instead of a painbrush, she uses musicianship and poetic songwriting — a touch of piano or harp here, a carefully placed lyric there — to color many of her songs with a feeling rather than a specific message. I Love You," isn't winning any brevity awards with its title, but the content is anything but longwinded. Most of the tracks are brief, sensory representations of Case's melancholy emotions when dealing with depression during the album's production. She described the feeling of breaking through these personal problems in a recent interview with NPR. "Once I stopped fighting it, that's when it really started." Case said. "It's like a bottleneck broke open, and everything started to flow again and my circulation came back." Many tracks on "The Worse Things Get" are tinged with feelings of sadness and depression, yet it never gets too weepy. For every song like the haunting "Nearly Midnight, Honolulu," a bitter anecdote about a mother who doesn't love her child, there is another like the punked-out single "Man," in which Case pokes fun at everyone with a Y chromosome. The key to Case's unique and immediately recognizable style is her voice. Her singing is similar to that of another great singer-songwriter, Joni Mitchell, in its clear and captivating power, if not its exact sound. The song "Calling Cards" is an ode to communication between lovers in the pre-cellular era that practically bleeds trip nostalgia. She sings the lyrics "Every dial tone, every truck stop, every heartbreak / I love you more" as a subtle trumpet and soft piano keys accentuate the vocals. Like many poets, Case rarely says exactly what she means, preferring instead to let listeners fill in NEKO CASE ANTI RECORDS their own impressions. Make no mistake — Neiko Case is one musician who should be considered a recording "artist" in the truest sense of the word. ★★★ Edited by Kayla Overbey TELEVISION Time Warner Cable, CBS find solution to standoff ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A monthlong standoff that prevented millions of viewers from watching hit shows like "Under the Dome" and "NCIS" — and threatened to interfere with the start of football season — ended Monday after Time Warner Cable and CBS Corp. resolved a programming dispute. MARTIN BURRISON ASSOCIATED PRESS The deal covers more than 3 million homes in New York, Dallas and Los Angeles that hadn't been able to receive programming from CBS or CBS-owned channels since Aug.2. Broadcasting resumed Monday evening on the East Coast. This publicity image released by CBS shows Dean Norris as James "Big Jim" Rennie a town leader on the "under the Dome," airing Mondays at 10 p.m. on CBS The companies had been fighting over how much Time Warner Cable Inc. would pay for programming on CBS and other channels, including Showtime Networks, CBS Sports Network and the Smithsonian channel. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed. Added pressure was on the two companies to reach an agreement with CBS holding deals to broadcast NFL and Southeastern Conference football, as well as the start of the U.S. Open tennis tournament. The disagreement came at a touchy time for networks and cable companies as more and more Americans are turning to alternative ways to watch TV, including online or on Internet-connected TVs. An estimated 1.3 million of 5.6 million households in Los Angeles were blacked out, along with 400,000 of Dallas' 2.6 million TV homes, CBS said. Those are three of the nation's five most populous television markets. The blackout affected about 1.1 million of New York's 7.4 million television households that get CBS.

This site turned into a museum in Targoviste, Romania, Sept. 3. Museum of former dictator's last two days alive opens in Romania The museum is located in a military building where the trial and executions took place in Targoviste, a town 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Bucharest. TARGOVISTE, Romania — More than 20 years after Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, were convicted of genocide and executed in Romania, the country opened a museum about the last two days of their lives during the country's pro-democracy uprising. Ceaucescu had ruled Romania for nearly 25 years with an iron fist. Museum visitors will be able to see metal plates that he and his wife ate on, the beds where they slept, and a tiny improvised courtroom where they faced a hastily conducted trial before a special military tribunal. The place where they were fatally shot on Christmas Day, 1989, at 2:45 p.m., In 1989, Romanian forces shot and killed about 1,100 people conducting anti-communist demonstrations, most of them unarmed. On Tuesday, Gen. Andrei Kemenci, the former commander of the garrison located in the building, took journalists on a tour of the museum. He said Ceausescu was dissatisfied that he was only given brown bread and sweets to eat there. Kemenci also said the leader asked for a change of clothes and to borrow money to spend at a military canteen. On Dec. 22, the Ceausescus fled Bucharest in a helicopter after they were booed by a crowd and hours later Defense Minister Vasile Milea apparently committed suicide. Abandoned by the helicopter pilot and most of the leader's aides, the Ceausescus then hitchhiked and ended up in Targoviste, where they were arrested by police. On Dec. 24, provisional leaders who took over after the Ceausescus fled Bucharest decided the couple would stand trial the next day.

FOOTBALL FOOTBALL First National Bank First National Bank National Bank KUATHLETICS.COM KUATHLETICS.COM KUATHLETICS.COM Sendish was pegged at nickelback, but after fall camp came to an end, he was moved to free safety. The decision also hinged on the depth at free safety coupled with the comfort level that Weis and company had in their two nickelbacks, Victor Simmons and Courtney Arnick, who were originally behind Sendish. "We took a position of strength and we strengthened a position that we thought was of weakness," Weis said. expected out of him right from the start. by fortifying a position, the depth in the secondary is even stronger and they have a little more wiggle room for more action on defense. FILE PHOTO/KANSAN Coach Charlie Weis smiles at the podium after being introduced as the new Kansas football coach during Friday's press conference at Anderson Family Football Complex. Weis has 33 years of experience in coaching. "It is a cerebral position." Campo said. "The key to playing to corner is being able to line up one-on-one and cover someone, whereas the safety position, it has all these different run fits, change in coverages." Coaches, including second-year defensive coordinator Dave Campo, have mentioned in the past few weeks that Sendish possessed the versatility to play relatively anywhere on the field. Sendish has received rave reviews as the acute mind of the secondary and is already well ahead of the learning curve that coaches Many Jayhawks to play in their first Division 1 game All of the buzz this offseason, all of the hype, will be tested come Saturday. The five brand new junior college players starting — Samson Faifili, Cassius Sendish, Mike Smithburg, Zach Fondal, Isaiah Johnson and a number of others who will surely sniff playing time — will see Division I action for the first time and to try to prove themselves worthy of their new scholarship. One of the biggest challenges for the group is adjusting to the new, accelerated level of Division I competition. "The speed of the game changes so much when you go from one level to the next level," Weis said. "So they won't be able to truly experience all the things they go through until you're playing; you see the speed goes up." Justin McCay, who was at Oklahoma for two seasons but never saw a snap, will also be seeing his first lengthy football action since high school. Another emerging depth-chart story has been the rise of weakside linebacker Samson Fafili. He beat out sophomore Jake Love, the starter last year at the strongside linebacker spot. Samson Faifiili beats out Jake Love Faifi a junior college transfer from American River College in West Valley, Utah, has been in competition with Love, but finally rose to the top. The main difference, Weis said, was Faifili's size advantage. Weis said difference in size was the underlying factor that helped make his decision. Although Fafili made a late push after getting comfortable in camp, Weis expected him to rise up and challenge Love for the starter spot from the get-go. While Samson is the starter for now, Weis mentioned that Love is still in for a fair share of playing time, which is the case with a lot of positions on the Kansas defense. Edited by Kayla Overbey CLUB SPORTS Kansas women's soccer to hold tryouts this week TORI RUBINSTEIN trubinstein@kansan.com The Kansas Women's Soccer Club is looking to make the jump from a recreational squad to a more vying team this fall. The club is hoping to reach a higher level of competition than they have in previous years. "We're shifting from more of a just-for-fun, recreational team to a higher competitive team." Club Secretary Sarah Kwapiszeski said. The club is holding tryouts today, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at Shenk Sports Complex on 23rd and Iowa streets. The club is searching for dedicated players who are willing to take the club to the next level. Coach Jon Kot is on the lookout for players with skills that can be used in more than one position, to create a more complete squad. The club is interested in girls with a team-comes-first outlook. "We look at everything from a team perspective," Kot said. "We want players with a hard-working attitude and a team mentality." Building on last year's accomplishments and working on individual player growth are going to be goals for this year. "We focus on team play and want everyone to focus on the system and style of play," Kot said. The club saw success this past year when they made a strong showing at Nationals, making it to the Sweet Sixteen. The team is also looking for a repeat as regional champions. "There are certain people who have shining moments in some games and everyone steps up;" Kwapiszeski said. "We play really well as a team." Although the team lost players this year, the Jayhawks still have a good group of girls to work with. "We have a great core team that will transition the hard work ethic shown in practices to the games," Kot said. The club will travel to Colorado, Nebraska, Arkansas and Kansas State this year, while looking to make another run at the national tournament in Phoenix. we really want to get a lot of new people at tryouts so we can be even better this year."

This is what can happen.'" — Charlie Weis commenting on Kansas State loss to KC Star Kansas recruited 26 players this year. FACT OF THE DAY ESPN --- TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q. What was the difference in fan attendance at Kansas State and Kansas last season? A: KSU averaged 8,671 more fans than Kansas (50,000 -41,329). ESPN THE MORNING BREW Students want bragging rights without wins A As we all know, the most important time of year is upon us: college football season. While many in Lawrence look forward to October and the start of basketball, we have the start of a new football season on our hands and it's full of promise. Last weekend, the Jayhawk nation took notice of our purple in-state rival's surprising loss to North Dakota State — in their shiny new stadium, no less (if you didn't hear about this, I assume you're enjoying life under a giant rock). If you didn't catch the game, you probably saw an influx of gloating tweets and defamatory Facebook quips from smug Kansas fans. By Miranda Davis mdavis@kansan.com While there's nothing wrong with reveling in Kansas State's loss, Kansas fans might be talking out of turn. Before we take to social media with snide remarks, we have a couple questions to answer: Will our team win some games this year? How can the student body help our chances (and, in doing so, gain the rights to trash talk)? Coach Charlie Weis has done a lot to improve the Kansas football team after going 1-11 last season. According to ESPN.com, Weis and the Kansas coaching staff recruited 26 players this year. While some will redshirt, many will start playing this season — especially the 18 recruits who transferred from junior colleges and could have an immediate impact on our success. While no team is safe from a bad loss. While no team is safe from a bad loss, the Kansas football team is in a completely different situation. This team is completely unproven. We have the potential to shine past our projected 4-8, (according to the Kansas City Star), but we could also do much worse. It doesn't bode well to talk smack on a team that has out performed us in the past several years. It would be very surprising if K-State didn't come back from this loss and have a good season. In short, the karmic forces of college football are too unforgiving for us to mock other teams while we have vet to play. While only time will tell how Kansas performs this season, the concern for students showing up to the games is still present. After three straight less than favorable seasons, it can be difficult for the students to care about attending the games. It's not hard to notice the crowds tailgating outside the stadium compared to the feeble numbers in the stands. It doesn't take a football veteran to understand that the home game atmosphere can affect the outcome of those games. KU If the student body really wants football bragging rights over K-State, it's time to start showing up to games, supporting the team and making enough noise for every Wildcat in Manhattan to hear. If we want to earn the right to trash talk, the Kansas student body should pack the stands, and cheer its team to victory this Saturday. And hey, we might just get a W in the books, too. — Edited by Kayla Overbey This week in athletics Wednesday NO SCHEDULED EVENTS Thursday 中 Friday Volleyball Arkansas 7 p.m. Fayetteville, Ark.

Kansas State to make minor changes after upset ASSOCIATED PRESS That doesn't mean he won't make some tweaks for Saturday night's game against Louisiana-Lafayette. ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN — Bill Snyder isn't about to make sweeping changes to the depth chart after Kansas State struggled on both sides of the ball in a season-open loss to North Dakota State. TOMMY WILLIAMS Kansas State Coach Bill Snyder studies the North Dakota State Buffalo prior to the kickoff in Manhattan Aug. 30. North Dakota State upset Kansas State 24-21. For one thing, Snyder seemed to indicate Tuesday that sophomore quarterback Daniel Sams will see the field more in Week 2. Sams was beaten out for the starting job late in fall camp by junior college transfer Jake Waters, who threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns but was also picked twice. "He deserves it and he had a great practice last night," Snyder said. "You also have to look at the fact that Jake proved that he is a very capable quarterback and played well during the course of the ball game. When you've got a good athlete like Daniel, you've got to find a place for him." After building a two-touchdown lead, the offense suddenly The Wildcats relied heavily on a running game that involved quarterback Collin Klein last season, and Snyder seemed reluctant to tear those plays out of the book when Waters proved ineffecti- Even when Sams entered the game and ran 17 yards for a touchdown on his first play of the season, Snyder stuck with Waters on the majority of snaps — even the designed quarterback runs. "You believe in not breaking the continuity of the young guy that's on the field," Snyder said, "but by the same token, Daniel's a very athletic young guy, and that was just my feeling that he needed to be on the field. He has the capability of making plays and he did so." Just not enough of them. Nobody on the Wildcats made enough of them. struggled to move the ball. The Bison countered by marching 80 yards in 18 plays for the go-ahead score in the final seconds of the fourth quarter, the drive so cruelly efficient that it left the Wildcats virtually no time to answer. The 24-21 defeat was their first season-opening loss under Snyder since 1989, his first year at Kansas State, and the first loss to an FCS opponent since the same season. It was the kind of performance that would often yield wholesale changes to the depth chart, but Snyder said that it's premature to tinker too much with the starters. "A lot of our number two's didn't have a chance to be on the field at all," he explained. "They need that opportunity and if we were to make changes, it's a little bit of guesswork." While known primarily for his running ability, Sams believe he can be an effective passer as well if he's given the opportunity. He even credited working with Waters — by far the more polished QB when it comes to throwing the ball — to fine-tune his delivery during the offseason. "I've improved as a passer because I really didn't want to rely on my running ability, because at the end of the day we're batting to be quarterbacks," Sams said. "Quarterbacks are supposed to throw the ball, so I focused on my throwing mechanics and myself as a quarterback." Wiggins receives All-American title before playing in college Late Night in the Phog might be a few weeks away yet, incoming freshman Andrew Wiggins has already received one of college basketball's most prestigious titles: All-American. BASKETBALI Wiggins joins Oklahoma State sophomore point guard Marcus Smart as the only big 12 players on the Blue Ribbon All-America Team and is the only freshman named to the squad. Other members include Creighton senior Doug McDermott, Louisville senior Russ Smith and Michigan State junior Adreian Pavne. "This is a great honor but really means nothing since I have yet to play a game in college," Wiggins said. "We're working hard every day to get better as a team and get ready for the season." Last season at Huntington Prep in West Virginia, Wiggins averaged 23.4 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists while being named the national basketball high school player of the year and the 2013 Gatorade Male Athlete of the Year.

One that induced some anxiety. You held the remote to your TV instead of the playbook to your offense — and it sucked. D dont be so gloomy, Charlie. Saturday wasn't so bad. Sure, your team sat idling while everyone else showcased months of hard work. And yes, you spent hours watching college football Saturday, thinking it should be Kansas out there too. "It was just awful," Weis said. "My least favorite day in the last six months." "You just put a capital L on your forehead because that's what it felt like sitting there watching all these games," Weis said. Chin up. Chuck. There's one thing you must've watched that made your Saturday day better: Kansas State lost to North Dakota State 24-21. The Bison had an eight-minute drive to close out the game and finish off the Wildcats. Now that had to make you smirk. When you first came to Lawrence — literally your first day in town — you talked and talked about Kansas State. You wanted to figure out why they had won 10 games, while Kansas had lost 10. You even duplicated their recruiting tactic of bringing in loads of junior college transfers. A good goal for the long-term success of the program isn't beating Kansas State, it's being better than Kansas State. There's a chance. No one is predicting Kansas will overcome Kansas State this year. As long as Bill Snyder is running the program, that day's a long way away. Heck, it's hard to say Weis will ever see it happen. But, after Saturday, a message was sent to the program: There is a chance And that chance had to make you feel good, Charlie. That's all of the work you've put in, the criticism you've taken, the career risk you took to come to Lawrence, is finally starting to feel right. There's a chink in Bill Snyder's seemingly impenetrable force field out west, one that will surely be corrected, but a sign of weakness nonetheless. Feel better, Charlie. Feel better. Charlie. Your team had to sit on their hands Saturday instead of using them to block an opponent. To catch a football. To throw a pass. And that makes your team itching to play. That makes your team ready. They watched the upset down the road. They saw what a team from the Dakotas can do, in case they had already forgotten. Even though you hated Saturday, Charlie, just know Bill Snyder hated it worse. And that's not a bad start to your football season. Edited by Chas Strobel STAFF PREDICTIONS PAGE 8 XII BIG 12 CONFERENCE FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK PAGE 8 CLEANING UP ASSOCIATED PRESS TAKING OUT THE TRASH KU Kansas head coach Charlie Weis has a discussion with officials during an NCAA college football game against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, Nov. 10, 2012. Nothing but the best is good enough for coach Charlie Weis IMAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com The scenario has already played itself out in Charlie Weis' mind. He can see his team beating South Dakota this Saturday, then winning against Rice in Houston, coming back to Lawrence the next week and defeating Louisiana Tech before really proving something to the fans with a homecoming victory over Texas Tech. "Then, let's go to TCU and see what it's like if we're on a little streak and everyone's starting to get a little juiced around here. That's what I want to do." Weis said on Tuesday at his first press conference of the season. It's been four years since Kansas started a season on one of those streaks, and Weis isn't making a guarantee. "Is it going to happen like that? I have no idea." Weis said. But that's the mentality he wants his players to have going into this season. He wants them to believe that they can win every game. It is his responsibility to be the leader of the shift in mentality. He has to instill in his players that losing will not be accepted in any form. Kansas lost five games last season by a touchdown or less. Weis wants his team to disregard that stat. It doesn't matter what the score was if you take an "L" in the end. "If we lose, we lose." Weis said, "but I think part of the problem when you're in an organization that gets used to losing, is losing is OK. Losing is accepted. If you play close to winning, it's OK, and that's a pile of garbage." has been willing to give a number of wins they expect this season. And that's how Weis wants it. No player or coach on the team you deserve to be fired, or quit one or the other," Weis said. It would be another example of what Weis considers a losing mentality for players to look at the schedule, think about how they match up with each team, and come up with the number of games they expect to win. "You start winning a couple of those close games and the light switch goes on." I mean, if you think like that "You should never ever as a competitor think like that." Of course, Weis would like to believe that there is a difference this season. Players have said they've seen a new mentality. More established leaders have stepped up this season. But none of that means anything until it's proven "You start winning a couple of those close games and the light switch goes on, and the next thing you know your team — every week — is expecting to win those games. They're not waiting for something bad to happen. They're making something good happen when it's crunch time," Weis said. "Something good has to happen first." The game has yet to begin, but the bitter taste of a 1-11 season hasn't left Wei yet. It's still too early to determine whether or not his team truly has a winning approach. on the field. Kansas was picked by Big 12 media to finish last once again this season, and Weis reiterated, as he did at Big 12 media days, that that is exactly where the Jayhawks should be listed for right now. But he also sent a message to his team: CHARLIE WEIS Kansas Coach "Until you start winning games, that's where you're gonna stay."

Jarmoc, an Alberta, Canada native, eclipsed 1,000 kills for her Jayhawk career in the first set. While appreciative of the milestone, Jarmoc was quick to put things in perspective. bhillix@kansan.com and career double-double with 19 kills and 10 blocks for the match "I'm happy to hear that," iarmoc said. "But whatever I can to help the team is what I care the most about." Edited by Emma McElhaney 1 She leads the team with 64 kills and 18 blocks for the season. In Jarmoc her first year at Kansas, Jarmoc didn't play a competitive match due to a redshirt. Under NCAA rules, she was allowed to practice and travel with the team, but not play in a match. It allowed her to maintain four years of eligibility while gaining valuable experience. Coach Ray Bechard said it was a smart decision. Jarmoc said it was never a goal to pass the 1,000 kill mark while at Kansas. With tonight's performance, she now has 1.015 career kills with a majority of the season remaining. Only one active player in the Big 12, senior Kaitlyn Pelger from Kansas State, has more career kills. "The best thing she ever did was take a redshirt," Beard said. "It allowed her to mature as a player." Both Bechard and Jarmoc attributed today's win to efficient and accurate passing. Senior setter Erin McNorton totaled 50 assists to mark the second time this season she's posted at least 50 assists. Junior outside hitter UMKC has quickly improved under the leadership of former Kansas assistant coach Christie Posey. Jarmoc said the team struggled to get into an offensive rhythm with the Kangaroos' defensive schemes. UMKC matched Kansas with 16 blocks for the match. Chelsea Albers had 15 kills and 16 digs to continue her recent hot streak. This marked her third double-double of the season. "That's the best UMKC team I've seen since I've been at Kansas."

Students benefit from unpaid internships The company allocated a small stipend to Wagner to help cover his travel expenses. He decided to stay with his aunt in the suburbs of Chicago to avoid housing costs, and said he wouldn't have been able to afford to take the internship if he had to pay extra costs such as housing. KATIE MCBRIDE kmcbride@kansan.com From working in a hectic New York newsroom, to a posh financial institution in London, or a bustling advertising firm in Kansas City. University students can apply for a highly varied range of internships. However, there's a big distinction that can determine if a student chooses to accept that dream job for the summer or semester: whether or not they're going to be paid. Experience is a crucial requirement for graduates seeking to be hired, according to a 2012 survey released by The Chronicle of Higher Education. The survey reports that employers who hire recent college graduates ranked internship experience as the most heavily weighted attribute taken into consideration during the hiring process. This credential outranked employment and volunteer experience, major, GPA and extracurricular activities. Despite their importance, students can run into difficulty when trying to secure internships, and may be forced to choose an unpaid position. Brent Wagner, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., landed a job as a sales intern for a music agency in Chicago this past summer. He was hired for the position because of previous networking with an alumnus of his fraternity, who also happened to be the executive vice president of sales for the company Wagner interned for Wagner said the experience he had as an intern is applicable to any job he may have in the future, and that it was worthwhile to do the internship despite the fact that he wasn't paid. "I came to Chicago broke, and I left Chicago broke." Wagner said. "But I got to see what it was like to take the train into Chicago every day and go to work. It got me to see what it's like to work the 9-to-5 job. I went into the city every weekend, and made new friends. It was an experience that changed my life." Wagner said. you want for your career, said Kelsey Ploeger, assistant director at the University Career Center. "You get experience, and experience can point you in one direction or the other," Ploeger said. "It can keep you on the same path you were going down for your future, or get you to try to find something else that you will enjoy." Ploeger also said that if students Ploeger also said that if students can't afford to work the entire summer without being paid, there are other ways to find internships. "If you know that being paid is one of your number one priorities, only "I went into the city every weekend, and made new friends. It was an experience that changed my life." Wagner said in terning with a company allows students to see what the inner workings are, unlike the small glimpse they may see when stopping in for a quick interview. Working an internship, whether it's a good or bad experience, can help you get a better idea of what BRENT WAGNER Junior from Kansas City, Kan. search for paid internships," Ploeger said. "Or if there's one that you're really interested in and it's unpaid, try to talk to that employer honestly and see if there any way you could get paid." Ploeger said it helps to start the internship search as early as six months in advance. Another option she suggested is splitting time between a part time job and an internship if the internship is unpaid. Paid internships do exist, howeve- er, and are available for students. Through connections he made working at a part-time job on campus, Josh Adegoke, a senior from Shawnee, was able to find a paid internship in Pretoria, South Africa, at the Center for Scientific and Industrial Research. Though he was fortunate enough to find a paid position, Adegoke says he still thinks unpaid internships can benefit students and their job search. "If you can't find a paid internship, it's definitely worth it to do an unpaid one because experience is invaluable," Adegoke said. "If you have experience, you have an edge over someone who doesn't." Edited by Duncan McHenry WANT NEWS UPDATES ALL DAY LONG?

The Lawrence City Commission passed an ordinance on Tuesday that bans all upholstered furniture on porches and patios in a close 3-2 vote. CODY KUIPER ckuiper@kansan.com The Lawrence City Commission passed an ordinance that bans all upholstered furniture on porches and patios in a close 3-2 vote last Tuesday. The ordinance came on the recommendation of the Lawrence Fire Department, who says the indoor furniture that can typically be found on students' porches is a major fire hazard. Drew Vonehrekrook, a senior from Wichita, sees the reasons for the ordinance, but isn't quite ready to give up the comfort of his couch. "One of my buddies over on 13th and Tennessee actually had someone catch his couch on fire, so I kind of understand where they're coming from," Vonehrenkrook said. "But at the same time, we have a lot of people coming over and a lot of smokers going in and out, so it's kind of a luxury to have a comfortable seat and what not." The LFD says the furniture usually found on students' porches is typically overstuffed and contains urethane-based foams, which can cause a regular couch to burn with the same intensity of a small minivan. intensity of a small minivan. Trenton Gilkey, a junior from Hutchinson, doesn't think the ordinance will do much in the way of stopping fires, given the age of the houses in the Oread neighborhood. "I think it's kind of foolish," he said. "Considering these are all very old houses around here, you're kind of splitting hairs because, yeah, this is a fire hazard, but a lot of the property here has the same problems." A penalty for those who keep upholstered furniture on their porches or patios could come in the form of a fine, but city officials say they would first request the residents to remove it. If a fine is necessary, it will be imposed on the landlords, not the tenants. Trisha Brock, office manager at Meadowlark Property Management, said her company was already aware of the risk that comes with upholstered furniture. erty here has the same problem. According to The Center for Campus Fire Safety, other college towns such as Columbia, Mo., and Boulder, Colo., have similar bans in place. Brock said. "But now we'll have to be more diligent and do more drive-bys and just stay on top of it so no legal action is taken." The Lawrence City Commission has not set a date for when the ordinance could go into effect, and they plan on educating those in student neighborhoods about the specifics of the law. "We've actually already seen it as a safety issue, and it was already in our lease that our tenants could not have furniture on their porches," Edited by Jessica Mitchell KU$^{1}$nfo Three of KU's first four chancellors were ministers.

Think about it. Started from the bottom now I'm here. Battling depression requires support and openness always wanted to die, but that wouldn't do. How could I simply do that to everyone that might care about me? I secretly fear that I'm too much of a coward to do anything myself. No. What I wanted was to go out in a blaze of glory. I wanted to die saving a kitten from a gorilla in hand-to-hand combat, or rescuing a child from a burning building. I would stumble out of the inferno with the unharmed kid in my arms. I would pass him back to his parents, who would be crying tears of joy. That would be all the thanks I needed. Without another word I would drop to the ground and that would be it. I wouldn't be remembered as being selfish. All my faults would be forgotten and all that would remain in memory of me would be the last heroic deed. I would die leaving behind an echo of the good that I'd left in the world and all the bad would disappear as suddenly and completely as I had. But until that happens, here I sit, writing about it instead of doing anything remarkable. Instead of being heroic I'm being whiny. My only hope is that in explicitly talking about my depression, it will make it easier for others. I don't know if I should be sharing so much with complete strangers, but depression has a taboo on it that needs to end. For those who have dealt with it, you will appreciate how hard it is to feel strongly about anything, good or bad. Those who haven't ever dealt with it have certainly gone through a difficult day. A dog died, failed a test, got cheated on. Depression is feeling all of those feelings at the same time, but the feelings don't go away. Time doesn't heal. It becomes frustrating, because everyone quietly believes that you should be better by now. You believe it yourself, but you just can't. What would it be like to feel that way all the time? Could you fight it? Or would it do to you what it did to me? See, to me, it started by slowly weighing on my shoulders. Contrary to popular belief, depression attacks physically as well as emotionally. The weight presses you down into the ground. It becomes harder to breathe, more difficult to think. It takes a herculean effort just to walk, talk, smile, drink, kiss, even to just get out of bed. Nothing is physically as easy or enjoyable to do. It doesn't stop there though. By Nick Jackson njackson@kansan.com It might be a slow process. Depression is a sneaky bitch. It slowly nibbles on your consciousness. It's hardly even noticeable at first, but it doesn't stop there. It gnaws on your mind and forces you lower. Depression is a parasite. A tick. The larger it grows the tighter the hold becomes. You don't even notice that the heat is being turned up until it's too late. It gnaws on your mind till it begins to devour and consume all of that which is your humanity. It rips you apart and it leaves you as nothing more than a husk of a person. For so long I tried to fight it. I grew up in a family setting where showing emotion or asking for help made you a "faggot." I'm not sure if that's an ideal situation. The stretches of abuse have me wondering, even today, what and who exactly I'm supposed to be. Each time I think I'm going in the right direction or come up with a plan, a voice in my head tells me "that's gay," or "You? Yeah right, ha." Needless to say, what miniscule amounts of self-esteem I have are wrapped up in some remarkably superficial ideas that are as fragile as a glass house. One tiny pebble can bring it all tumbling down. I want people to be able to discuss these things openly, because it might actually help to talk about your depression. It certainly can't hurt. With the flu, or a plethora of other illnesses, people can't rest until they've posted on Facebook about how awful they feel, whereas depression is kept relatively silent. I'm almost certain that I've only spoken with three people in life about our shared illness. The one that really stuck out was the most well-rounded, incredible and brilliant girl I've ever known. But one day, she mentioned that for all the work she put in to appear like everything was perfect, when she was alone, she was in agony. Nobody is immune to feeling this way. Nobody. you don't have to struggle by yourself. There are support groups on campus that will be by your side regardless of the complexity of your needs. Whether it's just someone to lean on while you pick yourself up by your bootstraps, or a doctor to refer you to a good shock therapist, no problem is impossible. Check out CAPS in Watkins (785) 864-2277, or the Psychological Clinic (785) 864-4121, which is starting group therapy sessions on Sept. 4 for a fee even I can afford. Hell, get hold of me, but just don't shut down. The greatest power depression has is to make us not want to fight back. Let's kick its ass.

I attended the Aug. 16 Chief's preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. Arrowhead was lively with old fans, Alex Smith played for a full half to help ease away the memory of Matt Cassel and with some alcohol running through my blood, I was able to loosen up a bit and ignore the potentially offensive references to Native American culture attached to our team. I'll admit, it was great. But in the end, it was nothing more than a small reminder of what I will be missing; a single cracker to excite my hunger further. Oh! The folly of showing the self what it craves but can't have! My pains are not limited to the Chiefs - friends and family, Facebook and the Church of Lazlo—all will be gone from my life. As of yesterday, I have begun a year of study at Nanjing University in the Glorious People's Republic of China. & By Scott Rainen srainen@kansan.com This will not be my first tour. From July of 2012 to December of that same year, I studied in Shanghai and Hong Kong, respectively. It was a great time. For three weeks in between cities I lived in a state of limbo, couch-surfing around that giant cluster of skyscrapers and people known as Shanghai. Now I return; less naive, but more fully appreciative of what I will be missing out on. the last six months have reminded me just how much I love my home state. I surmise that people here live a slower life and are more sincere and polite than anyone else in the country. When abroad, I absolutely refuse to hear the name of my home state spoken in vain, and whenever any criticism of my country is brought up, I simply deflect it to some other region of the U.S. "Upset about drones? Well that was probably started by those Washington D.C. folks - Kansas surely had nothing to do with that!" I still recall staying up for the first football game of the season last year against the Atlanta Falcons with a friend of my mine from Turkey. Like almost every other person residing in Hong Kong, he had never seen a game But building up my hometown and actually being there are two different things. To be in China for the football season will be absolutely miserable. First, I have to watch the games at some ungodly hour in the morning. Second, nobody has any idea what is going on. of football before. I quickly explained the basics and then eagerly proceeded to explain the importance of a good running game, the concept of the pocket and eventually, my nostalgia yearned for the traditions of Arrowhead Stadium itself. Halfway through my slightly drunken explanation of the Chief's Tomahawk Chop, my friend interjected, "doesn't this seem a little offensive to the Indians?" "Oh, certainly not!" I said as I leaned closer to him to explain the simple misunderstanding. My head remained glued to the television screen. "You see-s the blame for that ought to lie on the founders of the team, who were certainly-s not Kansans." There was a brief pause as he tried to process this inebriated bit of information before I turned to face him with a look of pure earnestness in my eyes. "The team originally came from a very backwards place south of our little strip of Eden, a place known as Texas." Such are the ramblings of a willingly displaced man.

Fire bad teachers. Venerate the teaching profession. Increase parental involvement. Throw money at the problem. These are the sound bites of education reform debate. Reduced to just a few words per blip, politicians and pundits alike tout panaceas for America's education crisis. Unfortunately, for these sound bites, the bark is bigger than the bite, as they are rooted in several mischaracterizations of American education and non sequitur conclusions. For the sake of brevity, I will be addressing the most prominent argument mentioned above - the issue with American teachers, followed by my own solution to the issue at hand. Many people believe that the problem of American education lies with its teachers. Our teachers are underpaid, undertrained and uninspiring. The solution is simple: fire bad teachers, and increase the status of the teaching profession. Scholars point to South Korea and Finland, both of which are at the top of the education totem pole, as an example of how teachers ought to be viewed. These nations equate teachers to doctors, lawyers and other highly trained members of society. They also pay their teachers far better than we do. These countries, however, are also quite a bit smaller than the United States. It would be impossible to mandate all teachers have a Master's degree (such as in Finland) and pay them $80,000 a year. Public schools are already terminally under-staffed - some teachers even get hired without teaching degrees, let alone a Master's. It is also worth noting that much of South Korea's success in education lies in after-school private tutoring. Parents force their kids to enroll in hours of after school practice that has become a multi-million dollar industry in South Korea. This just shows how dynamic the issue is - it can't be reduced to one small problem. The multiplicity of factors that play into a child's educational success makes simply firing teachers a well-intentioned, but ultimately idealistic By Will Ashley washley@kansan.com solution. To drive one more nail into the coffin for this argument, I would like to point out that firing teachers isn't nearly as easy as it sounds. Teachers' unions have formed an impregnable colossus making it very difficult to oust a bad teacher. Instead, many just get shuffled around the district, and the problem goes unsolved. All of these supposed solutions merely quibble over the external factors – the teachers, the parents, the district, but what about the students themselves? What I believe is a bigger culprit for failure in school is self-image. The reason many students "just don't want to learn" is because we've treated them like and labeled them as permanent failures. The reason some students don't try is because they don't believe they can succeed. This conclusion was verified by Angela Lee Duckworth, who said that if we teach our students that failure is not a permanent condition, they will improve in the classroom. Her study showed that tenacity - not IQ – was the deciding factor in whether or not kids were successful in learning math. Students are more likely to succeed when they believe they can. This is where it gets personal. I went to a very, very underfunded high school in Topeka, Kansas. I had good teachers and bad teachers, and neither were 100 percent responsible for my success or failure. What was responsible for whether or not I succeeded was indisputably, incontrovertibly and irrefutably - me. At times, I felt like I couldn't succeed, but what kept me going was being reminded that any mistakes I had made were not permanent, that my 'condition' was curable. If we teach our students that mistakes are not fatal, that failure is not a permanent condition, I believe we can reshape our education system from the inside - where it really counts.

As a freshman, one of the first opportunities you'll have to show off your school spirit is at football games. But being decked out in crimson and blue doesn't mean you can't let your own personal style shine through. The newest fashion statement to hit the collegiate scene is Gameday Boots. Created by Nocona Boots, a Texas-based company, these cowboy boots are revamped with school logos, letters and colors, making them perfect for game days. In addition to the University of Kansas, Nocona has created bootes for 47 other schools. Because of their popularity, variations of these boots can be found throughout stores all around the Lawrence and Kansas City areas. Ranging anywhere from $200 to $400, Gameday Boots are a great addition to any Jayhawk girl's wardrobe. Because the shoes are so versatile, they can easily be dressed up or down. Several variations of the boots can be ordered online, but for those who cannot wait for a pair, Fortuity has you covered. Located on 809 Massachusetts St., this boutique offers its own affordable and fashionable version. "The they look super cute with a high-low skirt," Laura Konecny, a Fortuity employee, said. "What's fun about them is that you can pair the boots with either red or blue, which makes it perfect for a KU game day." For a more casual look, Konecny recommends wearing a pair of red skinny jeans and a Jayhawk tee with the boots. The boots are particularly popular during the fall and winter months. Konecny said, as many girls receive them for Christmas. But no matter what the season or event, the Jayhawk will never go out of style.

Students balance dating with academics.extracurriculars DANI BRADY dbrady@kansan.com College is a time where students often find themselves having to be selfish in order to survive. Being in a relationship can seem like a great idea, but can it possibly affect personal growth and academic success? These four years are the only time when random hookups, walks of shame and one-night stands are deemed acceptable. Students are expected to go out, have a few drinks and meet all types of different people. Devin Brown, a freshman from Dallas, broke up with his high school girlfriend in order to have more time for himself in college. "I can do whatever I want now and don't have to worry about being in a long-distance relationship," Brown said. College students see this time as the perfect opportunity to test the waters and gain sexual experience before settling down. Alexa Roy, a junior from Shawnee, said spending time with her boyfriend is not detrimental to her social life. "Being in a relationship gives me another support system and another person to go to when own separate lives, another person to I'm feeling down or just need somebody," Roy said. "I know a lot of times I may be missing out on partying, but that's not what's important to me." Lauren Proctor, a junior from Shawnee, said it is important to maintain a balanced relationship.

"If I was dating some body through the year 1 probably wouldn't do as well in school," Brown said. Besides developing a sense of time management, being at such a great university comes with an abundance of academic opportunities. Students should be taking this time to get involved with clubs and organizations while also maintaining a good GPA. This may not be easy for everyone, and may only become more difficult when spending time with a significant other. tors when debating whether or not to be in a committed relationship. Attending a school with as many students as the University has can lead to drunken temptations and remorseful regrets.

The study revealed that people under the age of 55 who drink more than 28 cups of coffee a week have an increased risk of death, especially when paired with diabetes, hypertension and heavy alcohol consumption. Jill Hamilton-Reeves, an assistant professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said students should be more concerned Allie Varas, a senior from Sandy, Utah, uses coffee drinks such as iced Americanos to help her stay awake.

EMILY WHITTLER/KANSAN The moderate amount is about 300mg, whether it is from coffee, energy drinks, tea or soda, Hamilton-Reeves said. That's about two or three cups of coffee, depending how strongly it is brewed.

PAGE 10A THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2013 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LAWRENCE Increased speeding fines cause worry among students KAITLYN KLEIN kklein@kansan.com The Lawrence City Commission unanimously approved an ordinance to increase the cost of speeding in Lawrence at a meeting Tuesday night. The new law raises the baseline speeding fee to $80, which applies to violators going 10 mph over the posted speed. This is a 60 percent increase from the previous fee. Assistant City Attorney Maria Kaminska presented the ordinance to the commission and said that the reason for the increase was to keep in line with surrounding cities. According to a May survey conducted by the Municipal Court Manager, a ticket for the same violations in Olathe, Baldwin City and Overland Park cost an average of $83.83. Students on a budget may want to considering slowing down to avoid the added costs of a ticket. Michael Portman, a junior from Garland, Texas, received his first speeding tick- et in Lawrence last April. "I hate the idea of it costing more," Portman said. "I am a poor college student." Jessa Bernstein, a senior from San Francisco, said she doesn't have a problem with increasing the price of speeding tickets as long as it benefits city programs. But she said that she is skeptical of its effectiveness if it is only being raised to crack down on speeders. "The cops here seem pretty laid back," Bernstein said. "But since the town's biggest issues involve crowd control after games and dealing with drunk people, cops have plenty of time to bust people for driving infractions." The ordinance will take effect The ordinance will take effect Oct. 1.

BRUCE Kansas Senate sends Brownback revised Hard 50 law ASSOCIATED PRESS Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson, questions defense attorney Randall Hodgkinson as Hodgkinson opposes an opponent to the proposed "Hard 50" bill Wednesday at the Statehouse in Topeka. TOPEKA — The Kansas Senate sent Gov. Sam Brownback a bill Wednesday revising a state law that allows 50-year prison terms in certain murder cases, in a move that fixes a constitutional flaw and gives families of the victims more certainty that defendants will receive the proper punishment. The legislation, prompted by a June U.S. Supreme Court ruling, requires juries rather than judges to decide if the facts of a case ASSOCIATED PRESS land Park. "There are people who create heinous acts of murder who could get out of prison." arrant a sentence of 50 years without parole. Legislators considered the measure during a two-day special session rather than waiting until their next annual session convenes in January. Brownback, who called legislators back to Topeka for the two-day session, praised lawmakers for taking action quickly. The Republican governor is expected to sign the bill within the coming weeks. "The broad bipartisan support for the 'Hard 50' sentencing guidelines can be seen in the unanimous votes in both the House and Senate," Brownback said in a statement. Senators voted 40-0 to approve the bill, one day after the House approved the measure 122-0. It revises the state's Kansas adopted the "Hard 50" in 1999, replacing a mandatory 40- "There are people who create heinous acts of murder who could get out of prison." so-called "Hard 50" law in reaction to the Supreme Court's opinion in a Virginia case. The high court ruled that giving judges the sole authority to determine whether to impose a mandatory minimum sentence was unconstitutional. "It is a crisis," said Sen.

It would require jurors to weigh a limited list of aggravating circumstances during their deliberations to determine whether to recommend the 50-year sentence. The aggravating circumstances include: murder for hire; murder to Attorney General Derek Schmidt said the legislation "closed the wound" to keep the number of cases that could be exempt from the 50-year sentence from growing. "In a historically short session, they remained focused, fixed the problem and have given us the tools we need to maximize the likelihood that we can preserve existing 'Hard 50' sentences," Schmidt said after the Senate vote, "and perhaps more importantly, to ensure after this bill is published that the killers who commit particularly heinous homicides will know again that Kansas intends for them to remain behind bars for at least 50 years." Schmidt, who asked Brownback to call the special session to fix the law, said the changes would not apply to the 106 defendants who have been sentenced to a Hard 40 or 50 since 1990. The former Senate majority leader said defendants in those cases already exhausted their appeals and could only be considered for a proposed new sentence if a court vacated their prison sentences on other grounds. However, defense attorney Randall Hodgkinson raised questions about the proposed legislation as it pertained to evidence of prior convictions of a defendant that could influence a jury's decision to impose the mandatory 50-year sentence. in the case of Sen.

He said the longer prison sentences were important to keep families from facing parole hearings repeatedly with 25-year sentences. "The families of the victims relive the event every time it's brought up." Smith said. IS YOUR GREEK HOUSE LOOKING FOR A NEW CHEF? Greek House Chefs REAL CHEFS, REAL FOOD, LASTING IMPRESSIONS.

Stumpf is researching and developing a new type of radar that will accurately map ice sheets by penetrating the ice until it meets bedrock ing the ice until it meets bedrock. "What I proposed were techniques to image the bed over a wide swath on that system, the Ultra Wideband System," Stumpf said. "It requires some finesse, because it's such broad range of frequencies that conventional models for mapping the bed are poorly constrained so it requires some modification to properly use." Stumpf's radar imaging will allow ice sheets to be accurately mapped and collect a finer resolution by penetrating the ice. Stumpf's radar imaging will al- edition by penetrating the CRISI develop new technology and gathers data from ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica in order to develop computer models and accurate predictions. Stumpf's work will focus on designing signal beams and a signal processing system that will effectively map ice sheets in a wide swash fly over. "It's a very pressing scientific question." Stumpf said concerning the proper imaging and computer models of ice sheets. "The biggest uncertainty is what role Earth's ice sheets are going to play in rising sea levels." Stumpf's three year fellowship will allow her to build the radar beams and technology to accurately measure ice sheets, thus allowing researchers to predict sea levels more accurately. Since scientists can't estimate an accurate upper bound with the data that is currently available, it is important that the ice sheets are properly mapped in order to predict sea level rise by the end of the century, Stumpf said. Stumpf is one of a few female graduate students conducting research within CReSIS. CReSIS will be conduct- ing more field research on the ice sheets in November. Currently Stumpf's work is in the first stages of development and will start fielding the equipment once it is ready for testing. - Edited by Jessica Mitchell NATIONAL Manning seeks presidential pardon for WikiLeaks conviction FREE HADLEY prdbleywarning.org ASSOCIATED PRESS Supporters of Army Pfc.

Manning's lawyer, David Coombs, sent the Petition for Pardon/Commutation of Sentence on Tuesday to ASSOCIATED PRESS President Barack Obama through the U.S. Justice Department, and to Army Secretary John M.

Manning, formerly Bradley Manning, is serving a 35-year sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for her conviction July 30 on 20 counts for disclosing the information while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010. Manning has said she wants to live as a woman and receive hormone therapy for gender dysphoria — the sense that she is physically the wrong gender. The leak of hundreds of thousands of battlefield reports, diplomatic cables and a video of a U.S.helicopter attack that killed civilians was the largest-volume leak of classified material in U.S.history Manning got the longest sentence ever for disclosing U.S. government secrets to others for publication. The Obama administration has cracked down on security breaches, charging seven people with leaking to the media. Only three were prosecuted under all previous presidents combined. Mark Osler, a law professor and founder of a commutation clinic at St. Thomas University in Minneapolis, gave Manning's petition a "zero percent" chance of success, given the relatively low num- they were over-sentenced or that they underwent extraordinary rehabilitation in prison, Olser said. ber of pardonsgranted by Obama. The president has granted 39 pardons and one commutation since taking office, and denied 1,333. That's a lower rate than any recent predecessors, Osler said. It's also very early in Manning's confinement for the White House to seriously consider such a request, "When I chose to disclose classified information, I did so out of a love for my country and sense of duty to others." Pardon applicants can request a waiver of the five-year waiting period, according to the federal Office of the Pardon Attorney at the Justice Department. Manning's application doesn't mention a waiver. CHELSEA MANNING Convicted leaker Oster said. Pardon applicants ordinarily must wait five years after their release to be eligible for consideration. Those seeking to have their prison sentence commuted to time served generally must show Coombs said in an emailed response to The Associated Press that a waiver request is implicit in the filing. Manning signed the petition with her legal name. "Bradley Manning," not Chelsea. Coombs has said anything having to do with the pardon or court-martial would have to be in Bradley's name. Officials at Fort Leavenworth say Manning would have to get a legal name change to be known as Chelsea. Manning wrote in the petition that she started questioning the morality of U.S. actions in Iraq and Afghanistan while reading secret military reports on a daily basis in Iraq. "When I chose to disclose classified information, I did so out of a love for my country and sense of duty to others." Manning, author of *Stoke the law, adding, "I regret if my actions hurt anyone or harmed the United States." That's different from her unsworn courtroom statement Aug. 14, when Manning told a military judge: "I am sorry that my actions hurt people. I'm sorry that they hurt the United States." Coombs said in an email that Manning's statements about harm are not contradictory. Manning acknowledged she broke the law, adding, "I regret if my actions hurt anyone or harmed the At Manning's trial, government witnesses testified that some of the leaked information endangered information sources, forced ambassadors to be reassigned, were used as al-Qaida propaganda and even obtained directly by Osama bin Laden. "The harm offered by the Government during the trial was speculative at best. The majority of the instances provided by the Government for potential harm either were unrealized or had other more plausible causes, rather than Private Manning's conduct, for the potential harm." Coombs wrote. However, Coombs wrote in a cover letter to Manning's petition that none of Manning's disclosures caused any "real damage" to the United States and that the documents were not sensitive information meriting protection. Coombs submitted 11 documents in support of Manning's petition. The submissions include five documents pertaining to Sgt. 1st Class Paul Adkins, one of Manning's former supervisors. The sergeant testified that he was reprimanded and demoted, apparently for failing to report Manning's troubling behavior — including a photo of the soldier in a blond wig and lipstick — partly because he couldn't risk losing an intelligence analyst. Also among the documents was a letter from Amnesty International, which said Manning's leaks exposed potential human rights violations. WALTER S. SUTTON LECTURE SERIES ROGER W. FERGUSON, JR.

He took a small founda- took a small foundation that Mark Mangino built over eight seasons and took a wrecking ball to it, erasing any positive connotations with the words Jayhawk football fans may have had after tasting success not too long ago. And after he was fired following his second season, some people might look at his replacement, Charlie Weis, entering his second year and expect much better results this fall. That probably won't happen and it likely won't have anything to do with Charlie Weis, who signed up for two difficult tasks: Make Kansas football competitive and clean up the mess that Turner Gill left behind. We saw glimpses of competitiveness last season in close losses to Rice, Northern Illinois, Texas and Texas Tech. But cleaning up the mess wasn't going to be a one year fix. Football rosters are too big for one offseason overhaul to cure all ills, especially in a league like the Big 12. You not only need talented players, but you also need talented players with experience at this level. And you need a lot of them. "We ran out of gas in the fourth quarter a number of times last year on defense in my opinion," said defensive coordinator and former Dallas Cowboys head coach Dave Campo on Tuesday. "And part of that was I was reluctant to play backup guys." That explains the number of junior college transfers the coaching staff picked up in the offseason;17 to be exact. Even after a few expected hiccups with junior college players, Weis still had seven junior college transfers listed in the starting lineup he released at Tuesday's press conference, with another five transfers listed as backups. That is no way to build a traditional program, but Weis was desperate. He saw what fans had witnessed in 2010 and 2011. He needed players, fast, and he is slowly stockpiling talent for the future. "We finally got to the point where you can put out the 2s (backups) and you're not holding your breath that the 2s are out there," Weis said. There is a difference between not being scared of playing backups and being confident with the depth you have, but it's a good start. And with the "pile of crap" Weis inherited, a good start is all you can ask for.

LeBron James, ESPN.com FACT OF THE DAY LeBron James has won 4 of the last 5 MVP awards. — ESPN.com Q: Who are the people that are helping LeBron James produce his new show? TRIVIA OF THE DAY A: Maverick Carter, Tom Werner, Mike O'Malley and Paul Wachter. THE MORNING BREW People should respect LeBron James ESPN.com guess it's true; LeBron James really does do everything. Think about it. The man is a four-time MVP, a two-time NBA Finals champion and a producer. Yes, you did read that correctly. On Tuesday, ESPN.com reported that James, along with some friends, will be developing a new show on the Starz network called "Survivor's Remorse." The show is about two men who grow up in an inner city and aspire to be famous, just like James did. The show will concentrate on the struggles and adversities these men overcome to obtain the success they dream of. Whether you love him or hate him, every one should respect what James is trying to do by creating this show. In the ESPN.com report, James, who is from Akron, Ohio, discusses how he was By Ryan Levine rlevine@kansan.com supposed to be a statistic, but because of his hard work and dedication, he is now looked upon as the inspiration for others to get out of inner-city streets. This was what James' wants to illustrate with his show, and even the citizens of Cleveland have to appreciate this. Whether they admit it or not, James still has a significant purpose in those people's lives. Superstar athletes of James' stature often forget their roots and look solely at their accomplishments, rather than how they achieved their prosperity. Many despise James and his decision to leave Cleveland, but can you blame him for trying to chase his dreams? KU How can people still not respect someone who started with so little, when he now has so much? If he never cheated to obtain his success, like many athletes do nowadays, and never lied about what his aspirations were, then why do people still want him to fail? Something that is often forgotten is that, as an 18-year-old, James had the pressure us have trouble managing the pressure and responsibility of being a college student. Try being responsible for a whole city. Edited by Sarah Kramer This week in athletics Thursday Volleyball Arkansas 7 p.m. Fayetteville, Ark.

The team voted Heaps one of four team captains, along with senior running back James Sims, junior linebacker Ben Heeney and junior defensive tackle Keon Stowers. 9 41 When many students are waking up on Saturday and scrambling to finalize tailgate plans with their posse, Kansas quarterback Jake Heaps will be making he's putting on his clothes in the right order. He's been waiting for Saturday to come for a while. "Gamedays are really stressful for me because I'm really superstitious," Heaps said. "Everything has to be done a certain way: from the way I put on my pants, to the songs I listen to." For Heaps, it's time to get serious. He has had quite the experience leading up to this Saturday's season opener against South Dakota, but the highly touted high school recruit, former BUYu quarterback and Kansas scout team phenom is ready to suit up in and reverse the culture of a uniform currently associated with losing. "This is going to be a different "This is going to be a different football team," Heaps said. "We're GEORGE MULLINIX /KANSAN just threw in the tower. Facing adversity against an FCS opponent Saturday wouldn't be a great sign of things to come for Heaps or Kansas football. By the game's end, Heaps wants the fans making excuses for the win. "I want people to think 'Well it was only South Dakota.'" Heaps said. "I want them to question the fact that they shouldn't worry how big of a win we had just because it was South Dakota." Fourth in fourth place, Geverson "We're the type of team that,when adversity hits, will be able to battle through that." underestimated. The team was in no way dominated when it lost 31-17 to the Jayhawks at Memorial Stadium last year, and they plan to build on last week's FCS vs. Big 12 successes in Northern Iowa's victory over Iowa State and North Dakota State's win over Kansas State. "They like to play 3-4 and bring pressure, it's kind of a gamble." Heaps said. "Sometimes it pays off, but sometimes it leaves big holes, so if we can protect that will be the key to our football game." South Dakota's pressure may be the fastest way for Kansas fans to get the best feel for its new quarterback after one game. But the South Dakota Coyotes are currently ranked No. 6 in FCS standings, and they shouldn't be It's a big question: is he worth the hype? Heaps had two years at BYU in which he attempted more than 250 passes. Dayne Crist had one year with over 250 attempts at Notre Dame. In Heaps' two years compared to Crist's one, Crist had numbers better than Heaps all across the board. Crist had more yards per attempt, a better completion percentage, more touchdowns (they tied for 15 touchdowns in 2010 when Heaps had 89 more attempts), less interceptions and a better quarterback rating. But despite those JAKE HEAPS Junior quarterback numbers at Notre Dame, Crist's numbers at Kansas tanked, and the Jayhawks' 1-11 record showed it. So when Kansas head coach Charlie Weis was talking about Heaps' success on the practice squad last year and said "[Jake] would go out there and tear [the defense] up on a daily basis," would it be that shocking if Dayne Crist did the same and we just didn't hear about it? Kansas wide receiver Christian Matthews may have accidentally waved the biggest warning flag when he said what separated Crist and Heaps. "The only thing I could really think of is height," Matthews said. "They were both really good quarterbacks, but I guess height is the biggest thing. Both had good arms and were good leaders." Polite, but scary. If Dayne Crist was a really good quarterback. it certainly wasn't evident in his four touchdown season. Kansas fans are hoping that a difference between the two couldn't be clearer by the end of this year. But, overall, players and coaches have raved about what they've seen from Heaps, and he appears ready for the pressure. He's ready for the spotlight. He's ready to put a 180 degree turn on Kansas football. On Wednesday, Heaps was asked to finish a sentence: "If Jake Heaps plays well this year..." and with an unwavering confidence, Heaps responded: "Kansas football will be a definite bowl team."

Women's tennis team prepares for season with new coach BEN FELDERSTEIN bfelderstein@kansan.com Team chemistry is a concept that has been an obstacle to the success of many talented teams, and one that successful coaches such as Bill Self, John Wooden and Vince Lombardi have preached. It is also a concept that senior Claire Dreyer and sophomore Maria Jose Cardona agree will be the foundation to the women's tennis team's success this season. When asked for "one word to describe your team, and why?" Dryer and Cardona both responded emphatically with those two simple words: "Team chemistry." The women's team is coming into the 2013-14 season with a new head coach, Todd Chapman. Having spent the last four years as an assistant coach for Big 12 rival Texas Tech, Chapman helped coach a team that won two straight Big 12 regular season titles in 2012 and 2013.

The University is hoping Chapman will bring similar on-court success to Lawrence. Dreyer said the Jayhawks are looking forward to working with Chapman. "It's been different transitioning with a new coach, but everyone is really willing to work harder," Dreyer said. "We're just excited to get the season started." as many are still engaging in recent times, the Big 12 has been dominated by a small handful of schools on the women's tennis side. There have been consistent titles from the Texas Longhorns, the Baylor Lady Bears, and the Texas Tech Lady Raiders. But this year team chemistry, a highly experienced and successful coach, hard work and a rigorous fall schedule make a run at the Big 12 title not as far out of range as previously thought. Claire Dreyer said she and her three teammates, Amy Barnthouse, Paulina Los and Dylan fall, and I'm sure that we can do really well this season and keep improving," Cardona said. The team does not know yet which players are going to compete in the Midland Invitational, or if they will be in doubles or singles, as many are still fighting for a spot. Windom are ready and hungry for a chance at the Big 12 title. "[Winning] would mean everything to me, and to us," Dreyer said. "I mean, we've worked so hard that we believe we can do anything. Coach has really gotten us excited for the season." The team is preparing to open its fall schedule in Midland, Texas, at the Midland Invitational on Sept. 13. The fall season will begin with five tournaments in which the Jayhawks plan to compete in both singles and doubles play. Cardona said improvement over the course of the season will be key.

Heaps, who transferred from BYU, undertook a year as the scout team QB along with wideout Justin McCay and now looks to come out firing. Heaps and his receivers have come a long way, but nothing is certain especially with so many unfamiliar faces. They can only learn from playing the games. POSITION NAME NO.

Look for Weis to maybe take some chances downfield to see how this offense can be spread out. DEFENSE While the defense is filled with new players, it's also filled with potential. Ben Heeney and Keon Stowers; two of the team captains, look to anchor the team against the South Dakota offense, which features a sizable offensive line. This is the first year of the nickel-based package that has been implemented, which features two more than capable nickelbacks in Courtney Arnick and Victor Simmons who have impressed in camp.

Each play, each snap will be magnified. How he controls the pace of the game is going to be crucial and how he is protected will be even more imperative. The season rides on him and how he performs on Saturday will spell out, in some sense, where the path for the rest of the season will lead. AT A GLANCE GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN KANSAS PREDICTION 37-17 With the FCS mania that happened last weekend, Kansas will be on their heels. However, the underdog monster is still lurking. Charlie Weis looks to start out the season undefeated, while South Dakota, who is playing Kansas for the first time since 1900, is looking to surpass their single win total from last year. 9 BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ... Junior quarterback Jake Heaps practices in preparation for Saturday's game against South Dakota. There's a victory, but also little things that are in between the cracks of all the "winning solves everything" speak. Like Heaps' performance, how the pass defense holds up and the ability to keep Heaps upright. A win is nice,but improvement in different facets of the game would even be more comforting to Kansas fans. QUESTION MARKS Can Heaps maybe muster some hope for Jayhawks fans? This Kansas team is more talented on paper, but can they put out a decent product on the field? There's an argument that this Kansas team is more uncertain than last year,but is certainly more talented. ? ? ? ? ?

Second year quarterback Josh Vander Maten threw for just 91 passing yards, going 9-for-17. The Coyotes have two redshirt freshmen at halfback that are nearly identical in size, and combined for 171 yards in the team's first game. The biggest strength of the offense is the size on the offensive line. STARTING LINEUP POSITION NAME NO. YEAR QB Josh Vander Maten 7 Jr. HB Trevor Bouma 21 R-Fr.

Starting cornerback Dyllon Knox will return punts while running backs Trevor Bouma and Jordan Roberts return the kick offs.

Starr plays the buck position, as it is known in the Kansas defense, which is a hybrid of linebacker and defensive lineman. SOUTH DAKOTA U.SOUTH DAKOTA COYOTES AT A GLANCE South Dakota entered the 2013 season in a situation very similar to Kansas. Last season, the Coyotes won just one game in Joe Glenn's first season as head coach. Glenn's team has already equaled that win by beating UC-Davis 10-7 in the season opener. COACHING Joe Glenn had an incredibly successful career as a head coach before returning to his alma mater, South Dakota, in 2011. Between his 11 years at Northern Colorado and three years at Montana, Glenn has three national championships under his belt. His first season at South Dakota was a rocky one, as the team finished at 1-10 and went 0-8 against Missouri Valley teams. MOMENTUM The Coyotes come into Saturday's game with one win already and a chance to make adjustments in their second game of the season.

The Jayhawks will compete against Arizona Friday evening and host-team Arizona State on Sunday afternoon. Arizona enters the tournament with a 3-0-1 record. The team earned victories in its first three matches of the season. Last Sunday, Arizona played to a 0-0 draw against Ohio State in double overtime. Senior forward Jazmin Ponce led Arizona with seven shot attempts. Junior goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman is the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week after the game against Ohio State and a 6-0 shutout against Riverside. Kansas' second opponent of the weekend, Arizona State, comes in with a 2-1 record. The team defeated Stephen F. Austin in its latest match. Sophomore forward Cali Farquharson led the Sun Devils to victory with two of their goals. Farquharson is an impact player for the squad, having scored four of the team's six goals on the season. omore forward Ashley Williams scored one of two Jayhawk goals. She was assisted by fellow sophomore forward Courtney Dickerson. Arizona State is not an unfamiliar foe. Last year the Sun Devils made a trip to Lawrence on Sept. 2, 2012, for a game against the Jayhawks. After 110 minutes of play, including two overtime periods, the teams played to a 2-2 draw.

After the game, coach Mark Francis said the team had not practiced the formation before, but executed it well. In the new formation, the team create smore offensive opportunities, giving the layhawks 23 shot attempts. Also on the offensive side, the Jayhawks have been spreading the scoring wealth. Seven different players have scored in the first four games. There have been eight goals scored, with only senior forward Caroline Kastor finding the back of the net twice. Six players have also had assists on those goals. Sophomore forward Ashley Williams crosses the ball during the first half of the match against the Arkansas Razorbacks on April 27.

Ackley was safe at second on the play as Mike Zunino took ball four during the attempted steal. Royals ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kendrys Morales hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Seattle Mariners to a 6-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night. Morales hit his 18th home run to straight away center on a 1-2 pitch from Aaron Crow (7-5) with Franklin Gutierrez, who had walked aboard. The Royals used eight pitchers, tying a club record for a nine-inning game. Lucas Luetge (1-2) worked two perfect innings to earn the victory. Danny Farquhar worked a perfect ninth for his 12th save in 15 opportunities. Taijuan Walker, who became the youngest Mariners starting pitcher (21 years, 17 days) to pick up a victory in his major league debut on Friday at Houston, struck out two in the first inning. his fastball touching 97 mph. Walker, a 6-foot-5 right-hander who was also a basketball star in high school with a 21-point average, did not allow a hit over the first three innings, but yielded four runs, four hits, a walk and a sacrifice fly in the fourth to tie the score. Jarrod Dyson's two-out, two-run single made it 4-4. Salvador Perez's sacrifice fly scored Eric Hosmer, who had singled for the first Kansas City hit.

The 64-year-old Nyad plans to swim for 48 hours straight next month, accompanied by celebrities swimming laps alongside her, in a specially designed swimming pool that will be erected in New York City to raise money for Hurricane Sandy survivors. Although the swimmer insists Long distance swimmer Diana Nyad swims towards shore in Key West, Fla., Monday after swimming from Cuba. Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the help of a shark cage. She arrived at the beach just before 2 p.m. EDT, about 53 hours after she began her swim in Havana on Saturday. Although the swimmer insists she isn't trying to prove anything — "I didn't do this because I was in my 60s. I just happened to be in my 60s," she says — she acknowledges that her success is having an impact, "not just on people of my generation but on younger people." "I have a godson who's 14 and he texted me yesterday and said, 'I'm never in my life again going to call someone in their 60s old. It's over. You just proved that youth doesn't have anything to do with age.'" And at one point during an interview Tuesday with The Associated Press, the bronzed, muscular athlete couldn't resist sharing a message of encouragement and solidarity with those of her generation: ASSOCIATED PRESS "Baby Boomer power!" she declared, with a triumphant fist pump. clared, with a trumpet in his pump. On her fifth try, Nyad finished the 110-mile swim from Havana to Key West on Monday in 53 hours, becoming the first to do it without a shark cage. She said that while she is slower than she was back in her 20s when she first gained national attention for swimming around Manhattan and from the Bahamas to Florida, she feels she is actually stronger. "Now I'm more like a Clydesdale: I'm a little thicker and strom- ger — literally stronger, I can lift more weights," Nyad told the AP. "I feel like I could walk through a brick wall... I think I'm truly dead center in the prime of my life at 64." Nyad isn't alone among aging athletes who are dominating their sports. Early this year, 48-year-old Bernard Hopkins became the oldest boxer to win a major title, scoring a 12-round unanimous decision over Tavors Cloud to claim the IBF light heavyweight championship. Tennis player Martina Navratilova won a mixed doubles title at the U.S. Open in 2006, just before turning 50, and decades ago hockey legend Gordie Howe played professional hockey into his early 50s. Golfer Tom Watson was nearly 60 when he fell just short of winning the British Open in 2009. Last year baseball's Jamie Moyer was 49 when he became the oldest starting pitcher to record a major-league win. Thousands of U.S. athletes, including 60-year-old Kay Glynn, also compete during the Senior Olympics. Glynn, of Hastings, Iowa, has won six gold medals in pole vaulting at the Senior Olympics and set a new pole vaulting world record for her age in the 2011 National Senior Games. Older athletes tend to find more success in endurance events than in power events such as sprinting and other sports that rely on "fast- twitch" muscle fibers, which are more difficult to preserve later in life, noted Wojtek Chodzko-Zajko, a physiologist at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. But just because Nyad was swimming rather than pounding her joints against the concrete doesn't mean she didn't achieve a remarkable feat, Chodzko-Zajko said. "This ultra, super-length swimming is brutal regardless," he said, adding that another reason athletes are able to endure is because they often train smarter and have a mental concentration that is well-honed over decades. "She's one of any number of people who are redefining what happens with aging," said Dr. Michael J. Joyner, an anesthesiologist and exercise researcher at The Mayo Clinic. "If you start with a high capacity, you have some reserves." Joyner said. "You can lose some absolute power, but what you lose in power you can make up for with experience and strategy and better preparation." Nyad first attempted swimming from Cuba to Florida at age 29 with a shark cage. She didn't try again until 2011 when she was 61. She tried twice more in the past two years before beginning her fifth attempt Saturday morning with a leap off the seawall of the Hemingway Marina into the warm waters off Havana. She paused occasionally for nourishment, but never left the water until she reached the white sand beaches of the Keys and waded ashore. Nyad says her age and maturity should not be discounted when measuring her most recent success. "It's not so much the physical," she said. "To my mind all of us ... we mature emotionally ... and we get stronger mentally because we have a perspective on what this life is all about." Nyad said. "It's more emotional. I feel calmer, I feel that the world isn't going to end if I don't make it. And I'm not so ego-involved: 'What are people going to think of me?' I'm really focused on why I want to do it.' Australian Susie Maoney successfully swam the Straits in 1997 at age 22 with a shark cage, which besides providing protection from the predators, has a drafting effect that pulls a swimmer along. In 2012, 49-year-old Australian Penny Palfrey swam 79 miles toward Florida without a cage before strong currents forced her to stop. This June, Palfrey's countrywoman Chloe McCardel, 28, made it 11 hours and 14 miles before jellyfish stings ended her bid. Nyad acknowledged Tuesday that she was glad when McCardel didn't make it before she had a chance to, but she did add, to laughter from her team, "I didn't want her to get bitten by jellyfish or die or anything." OLYMPICS Putin eases gay rights concerns ASSOCIATED PRESS NOVO-OGARYOVO, Russia — President Vladimir Putin sought to ease concerns that Russia's new anti-gay law would be used to punish athletes who display rainbow flags during the Winter Olympics in Sochi, while insisting that gays are not discriminated against in his country. "I assure you that I work with these people, I sometimes award them with state prizes or decorations for their achievements in various fields," Putin said in an interview with The Associated Press and Russia's state Channel 1 television late Tuesday. "We have absolutely normal relations, and I don't see anything out of the ordinary here." He added that Russians love Tchaikovsky even though the composer was said to have been a homosexual. "True be told, we don't love him because of that, but he was a great musician and we all love his music," Putin said. Putin offered to meet with members of the gay and lesbian community if they asked to see him. the law on 'propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations,' which Putin signed in July, makes it illegal to expose minors to information that portrays these relationships as normal or attractive. The law imposes hefty fines, while also subjecting foreign citizens to up to 15 days in prison. vvente Russian officials have reassured the International Olympic Committee that Russia will not discriminate against homosexuals during the Feb. 7-23 Sochi Games, they also have said that the law will be enforced. This has left open the question of what would happen to athletes or fans if they made statements or gestures that could be considered propaganda.

"You wake up at 8 in the morning, get wasted," said KC Waterman, a junior from Shawnee. "Then go watch our football team, but try to have fun with it at least." This has been a common game day itinerary for many KU students in recent years. It's not like that wasn't happening in the 2007-2008 season, when Kansas strung together an 11-1 season. But student attendance at the game has dwindled drastically and there's no denying it. "Overall I think Kansas has been in a slump, so I think students are expecting that again," said Kristine Flynn, a freshman from Chicago. "So I think students are just going to use that as an excuse for game day as just a recreational day." Watching Kansas football has been unbearable in previous years. They've won six games in the past three years, losing 16 of 36 games by more than 20 points. They haven't beaten a conference opponent in two years. But students say you can forget the past. "Over the past few years I think everyone has just come to think that they're pretty terrible, but since Charlie Weis came as the head coach, everyone thinks they're heading in at least a decent direction now," Waterman said. So is Charlie Weis the one to pull students from tailgates and into the stands? With the odds in Kansas' favor this Saturday, more students may choose to enter Memorial Stadium to see the jayhawks attempt to get their first victory in over a year.

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said Wednesday that his quarterback decision "very easily could" last until before Sunday's game against Kansas City we've got some decisions to make," Bradley said. "I know he feels every day, so I think we're going to have to get as much time as we can to evaluate this." Gabbert, who had a small amount of tape on his thumb, was limited in practice Wednesday. "At times he looked good, and at times he looked like he had an injury," Bradley said on a conference call with Kansas City media. With Jacksonville reporters, With jacksonville reporters, Bradley was more optimistic. Jets. Gabbert sat out the final two exhibitions, and team doctors thought he would be healthy enough to play against the Chiefs. "I thought I saw some glimpse at the end where he was starting to get into a little bit more of a rhythm," Bradley said. Gabbert sustained a hairline fracture in his right thumb during the team's second preseason game, Aug. 17 at the New York He started gripping a football last week and making throws. But it remains to be seen how his thumb will hold up during live action or with the pounding of snaps. "You can't worry about it," Gabbert said. "In practice you can't worry about it because then you're thinking about something that's really not relevant when you're going through a play, a progression and a read. I imagine on game day it won't even be a thought in my mind. ...

"I can't control any of that. It's up to the coaching staff. Whatever they feel comfortable. For me, it's just prepare as much as I can and hopefully it carry over to game day." 11 What Bradley hopes to avoid is a scenario in which Gabbert starts and then isn't able to finish the game.

He and student Matt Reilley are building the ramp for Lawrence resident Henry Perkins, who is wheelchair bound, and his wife Mary, who has multiple sclerosis. LENDING A HAND Students construct and design wheelchair ramp for Lawrence family CONY KUIPER ckuper@kansan.com Two University students are volunteering their weekends to construct a wheelchair ramp for one Lawrence family, but they're getting back just as much as they're putting in. Taylor Monsees, a fourth year architecture student from Overland Park, and Matt Reilley, a third year Aerospace Engineering major from Overland Park, have spent every Saturday for the last month volunteering at Henry and Mary Perkins' mobile home in east Lawrence. "I would rather be doing this than building big foil buildings. There's just a better sense of giving back with this." Monsees was given the project by Freedom by Design, a program in the American Institute of Architecture for Students that focuses on providing better living conditions for low-income and disabled individuals. up to Monsees to win the bid for the job from the city and secure more funding for construction, which he says provided him with a more fulfilling experience than his architecture classes. "We're actually getting real world experience here," Monses said. "With studio, you're in a classroom setting and you don't really gain experience working TAYLOR MONSEES Architecture student After receiving the project, it was with a client. I would rather be doing this than building big foil buildings. There's just a better sense of giving back with this" Prior to the construction of the ramp, the Perkins' mobile home was not handicap accessible Mary suffers from multiple sclerosis and Henry is diabetic and will soon be wheelchair bound, and their home also houses their son and daughter as well as their seven year-old granddaughter. "I feel bad that they're living in the situation that they are," he said. "He's helping raise his grandkid and he's doing a lot for his family, so it's nice to be able to do something for him too." Monsees says one of the most rewarding aspects of the project is being able to help out a good family in need. Monsees and Reilley have not been completely on their own in building the ramp, however. continuing the work Curtis Calkins, a recent architecture graduate, has assisted with the project. The city of Lawrence awarded a grant for the construction and Independence Inc., a local organization that provides assistance for the disabled, provided resources as well. Monsees and Reilley have gotten help from surrounding residents in the mobile home community too. A neighbor who is a concrete finisher has offered to help finish the sidewalk of the ramp, the Perkins' have made their tool shed available for the boys to use and the young neighborhood girls who Reilley calls their "cheer-leaders" even come dance to their music while they work. Reilly says this kind of encouragement and response from the community has made the construction much more enjoyable Everyone has been so friendly and so nice, it's just great to work around positive energy. "he said. "Watching [Henry] come out and you see his face light up, and he's always telling us we're doing a good job and offering help, that's great." The boys plan to have construction completed by next weekend, and Mary Perkins says the hours they've spent volunteering to help her family has reaffirmed her optimism in the community. I always believe there's more good people than bad in the world, and this is proof of it." Perkins said. "I know they're working hard out there in the heat, but when it's done they can have a really good feeling about what they've done for our family, and when you do something good for others you will never regret it." —Edited by James Ogden Topeka City Council to hear gay rights proposal STATEHOUSE ckuper@kansan.com ICODY KUIPER Between the Westboro Baptist Church, the conservative lawmakers and the ban against same-sex marriage, the fight for gay rights is nearly nonexistent in Kansas. However, a city councilperson in Topeka has emerged with determination to make Kansas an inclusive state. Topeka City Councilperson Chad Manspeaker has proposed an expansion in the scope of the city's Human Relations Commission that would include protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The main goal of the HRC is to educate the public on issues of Manspeaker hopes to see the city of Topeka and the state of Kansas move toward becoming all-inclusive. Though he admits that the change won't happen overnight, Manspeaker hopes this proposal might serve as a stepping stone. He ultimately hopes that Kansas will recognize samesex couples and that those couples can discrimination and eliminate prejudice within the city of Topeka. By adding these two items to their agenda, the HRC would be able to further educate the public on the issues of prejudice against the gay community and take steps to prevent further discrimination. The HRC approved the proposal in June with a 7-0 vote. However, it cannot be adopted as an official city code without the approval of the City Council. The council plans to hear the proposal this week and has set a tentative meeting for Sept.17,to consider acting on the proposal. "This is the first step toward a larger protection for the LGBT community," Manspeaker said. "We want people to live freely in our community," Manspeaker said. "And we can't do that without these protections." If passed, the proposal will make Topeka one of only two cities in Kansas with anti-discrimination DONALD J.

Tensions rise as Syria vote waits KAITLYN KLEIN klaien@kynews.com kklein@kansan.com While President Barack Obama awaits Congressional approval Logan Bayless, an Army veteran who served in Iraq and senior from Great Bend, Kan., said he feels the outcomes and goals for the U.S. in Syria are unclear. to send a warning signal to Syria for its use of chemical weapons, Bay-less wonders what potential military action in Syria will Bayless mean for the rest of the world. Bayless also said he sees parallel between the potential conflict in Syria and the way the U.S. entered war with Iraq. "Most of us believed our government and we took their word for it (that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction)," Bayless said. "But we found out that was not the best thing to do." Professor Marie Grace Brown, who teaches Middle Eastern history, disagrees. Brown said Brown said that in Iraq the evidence FANE PELLETON Brown was based on assumption, whereas in Syria evidence has been recorded. She said the uncertainty in Syria is who is using the weapons. The struggle that both Iraq and Syria face internally results from history, Brown said. Both struggle to find a balance between the differing ethnic and religious groups that reside within its borders. The majority of Syrians are Sunni Muslims, however, Syria's leader Bashar al-Assad is an Alawite. Tensions in Syria begin there. The Alawites fear that if Assad loses power that the next leader will persecute them. When the Arab Spring happened, Assad sought to eliminate opposition through extreme violence, which instead of silencing the opposition, pushed them over the edge, Brown said. Assad brutally murdered his people, left mutilated bodies on road sides and kidnapped people in the night during the Arab Spring when the Syrian people were protesting peacefully. "People in the middle East are stuck with the borders drawn around them," Brown said. The scale Though Bayless makes comparisons to Iraq, he said that a war in Syria would be a much worse conflict than the Iraq war. He said he fears that any action in Syria could lead to a ground war involving the U.S. or a broader regional war because of Iran's alliance with Syria and Russia. The Syrian army is more equipped for a counter attack than the Iraqi army was, which means the U.S. is more likely to get drawn into a ground war in Syria, Bayless less Being a global citizen Because of the potential consequences of a U.S. intervention in Syria, Bayless said he would encourage students to do their own research beyond the mainstream news and read about the conflict in Syria before forming an opinion. "It's more important for everybody to not only rush into this war, but also to question it," Bayless said. Professor Elif Andac, who teaches Sociology of the Middle East, agreed that KU students should be contemplating this issue and the moral questions it raises. "These are important, large issue that everyone ought to think about," said Adac. She said that students are some of the rare few in the world who can vote and have a say in issues like this and it is important that students think about their moral obligations and what it means to be an American. What the red line means for the U.S. When asked last year if he expected U.S. military action in Syria, President Barack Obama said the use or movement of chemical weapons would be his red line or game changer. Zach Beardslee, a National Guard member and junior from Kansas City, said because of the red line the U.S. is in a complicated position and no matter what is done the effects are unpredictable.

Gottlieb, a 2013 political science graduate of the University, was born and raised in the quaint suburb of Golden Valley, Minn. He is currently campaigning in hopes of being elected to city council so that he may help "keep all the citizens of the city happy and content." "Simon has lived here his whole life, so he feels a lot of loyalty to Golden Valley and he really understands the people who live here," said Brian Cook, who has helped Gottlieb run his campaign. TREE CITY HI Attorney De. Leonard In order to connect with the people in the community, Gottlieb says that when he meets someone, he introduces himself and tells them a little bit about who he is and what he's trying to do. Cook adds that he sees in Gottlieb an ability to engage people in conversation in order to let them know he's there to listen. "He can go to someone's door and find out what's really important to them," budget is used wisely and appropriately, keep the school systems successful and make sure that money from the taxpayers contributes to projects that benefit the community in the long run. the community in the long run. Only three council seats are open, to be decided between the 14 people, including Gottlieb, that filed by the Aug. 13 deadline. Gottlieb and his campaign team work hard to use strategies that will give the people of Golden Valley a good idea of who Gottlieb is. Gottlieb uses Facebook and Twitter to quickly connect with the public, and also created a website that outlines his background and stance on important tissues, such as property taxes, city services and transportation. He also created flyers and brochures to distribute around the city. Alumnus Simon Gottlieb is campaigning for the Nov. 11 election for City Council in his hometown of Golden Valley, Minn. He also created flyers and brochures to distribute around the city, and goes around neighborhoods to talk to people individually at their homes about his campaign. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO den Valley, Minn. "Simon has lived here his whole life, so he feels a lot of loyalty to Golden Valley and he really understands the people who live here." Cook said. "He's able to have those conversations and make a strong judgment about what's best for the community." Gottlieb's goals for the future of Golden Valley are to ensure the BRIAN COOK Campaign supporter Gottlieb comes with a background in political work. He interned in both a U.S. Congressman's office and in the Irish Parliament over the past two summers. Th r o u g h these experiences, Gottlieb says he saw the ways in which local issues could be addressed through an accessible city representative. "They always had local people coming in and ask- ing for help," Gottlieb said. "The fact that an elected official is able to help them really makes these people believe in our political system." University student Esau Gottlieb is a close friend and next door neighbor of Gottlieb's. Both grew up in the same town, and Gottlieb says he can be seenas a helpful source to people in Golden Valley faced with an issue they want addressed by someone in office. "He's a trustworthy man, the kind who will give you a straight answer," Gotlieb said. "Simon's family values honesty and accountability, and I think those are values he can translate to being a politician. He will be accountable for any promise he makes. "He's very passionate and committed. He's a hard worker that will get the job done that he says he's going to do, and doesn't make excuses," Gottlieb said. Gottlieb isn't sure about what's in store for him in the future. Since graduating from the University this year, he has been considering attending law school. That decision all depends on how the election turns out, says Gottlieb, and running for office was a chance he just couldn't pass up. "I figured, why wait? I should jump at the chance, because it could be exciting and it could be great," Gottlieb said. "If I can help out one person who doesn't have anywhere else to go, that would mean the world to me. Making a difference for even one person means a lot." Gottlieb continues to prepare for the Golden Valley City Council elections, which will take place Nov. 11.

Matthew Wayne Headley, 37, was arrested Friday night at 10:17 p.m. heading west on Interstate 70 at mile marker 101 by the Kansas Highway Patrol. Courtwright, whose daughter was waiting in the car when the suspect walked out, said that the teller remained calm, waited until the suspect left the building, then said, "Lock the doors, we've just been robbed." According to Courtwright, there were two other customers and the rest of the tellers inside at the time of the robbery. Police officers and the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrived on the scene and canvassed the area. The bank reopened for business later that afternoon. The Lawrence Police Department interviewed Headley, who matched witnesses' descriptions of the robber, on Thursday but did not make an arrest at that time. Physical evidence examined Friday gave police probable cause for Headley's arrest. Head- At 1:19 p.m. Thursday, an unarmed man described as a 40-year-old, 6-foot-3 black male entered the 1807 W. 23rd Street U.S. Bank and handed the teller a note. Without exchanging words, the teller handed the man cash who then fled the bank headed southwest on foot. "It was quick -- quiet -- and nobody was hurt," said Barbara Courtwright, witness and Lawrence resident. ley, who now lists his home address in Colorado, is a former Lawrence resident. In 1998, he plied guilty to armed robbery of the Taco John's at 1101 W. 6th Street and a local liquor store. Edited by Casey Hutchins TOPEKA FROM PAGE 1 ordinances that include sexual orientation and gender identity. Currently, Lawrence is the only city to have such laws. Previously, Salina and Hutchinson had similar antidiscrimination ordinances. however, you were repealed in 2012. The state of Kansas has several laws against the LGBT community. Not only does it ban Manspeaker Mike Browning samesex marriage under state law but also under a constitutional amendment passed in 2005 that defines marriage as "a civil contract between one man and one woman only." In addition, Kansas laws have also made it impossible for same-sex couples to file joint taxes, receive married benefits or adopt children together. Though the fight for gay rights has been slow for Kansas, Manspeaker encourages students to communicate their opinions to their city councils to speed up the process. "Voices are very important with this cause," Manspeaker says. "Every contact means something." For students, the news has instilled a sense of hope that Kansas may finally be on a path toward equality. Tim Hewitt, a fifth-year senior from Arkansas City, Kan, and vice president of Delta Lambda Phi, sees this as a symbolic effort that could potentially lead to more legislation supporting gay rights. "Since it's happening in the state capital it's definitely a visible place," Hewitt said. "More and more cities in Kansas could follow and if there's enough local support it could work itself up to the state level." Though Hewitt acknowledges that the state's support of gay rights will indeed come slowly, he believes it will eventually come nonetheless. But to do so, Hewitt thinks that we must first educate the public about the LGBT community to rid them of their preconceived judgments. "It's a good step," Hewitt said. "But there's still a lot of misinformation out there that is holding us back." Hewitt is hopeful that this ordinance, if passed, could diminish the overall public fear of people who are different. "There are still people out there who are advocating for removing gays from society," Hewitt said. "But if this ordinance can quiet those voices down, people can see that there is no difference between gay and straight and we can move on." Brown expressed similar fears of a regional war because of the varying interests of the surrounding countries. However, she said she only expects a regional conflict if the U.S. decides to intervene in Syria beyond the airstrikes that are being discussed by Congress. Edited by Casey Hutchins SYRIA FROM PAGE 1 a bear and not expect them not to attack you." rrottessor Gail Buttoroff, who teaches Government and Politics in the Middle East, said the consequences of a conflict in Syria would be especially hard to predict because of how many actors are involved in the situation. Buttoroff echoed questions that Congressmen, diplomats, refugees and journalists have been asking since evidence surfaced that Assad's regime used chemical weapons against its people. "There's a high degree of uncertainty about how this will affect United States' relationship with Arab countries, but also with Iran and Russia," Butoroff said. "How do we deal with the red line credibility issue?" Buttoroff said. "The Syrian people are suffering; will our military intervention help them or not?" Buttoroff talked about Syria from a humanitarian perspective, emphasizing the effect Syria's civil war has on surrounding countries. "We already have consequences," Buttoroff said. "In the sense that you have huge amounts of refugees in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan." Assessing the human aspect Buttoroff said she would be hesitant to compare Syria to the situation in Iraq because of the differing goals for each intervention. Congress is scheduled to vote on this issue Wednesday. A resolution drafted last week outlines a potential air strike against Syria to warn Assad and others that chemical weapons use will not be tolerated. "I am not confident in the success of some limited strike," Brown said. "And it will be at the expense of lives of more Syrians." She said the goal in Syria now seems to be to punish or deter Syria from using chemical weapons whereas in Iraq the U.S. sought regime change. Brown also said because of the red line that was drawn, an immediate and forceful reaction is necessary. Brown highlighted the difficulties in determining what course of action to take because of what one might believe philosophically versus what is practical. No matter what action the U.S. takes, Brown said she is certain a resolution will not come quickly for the people of Syria. What's next? The resolution states that no troops will be put on the ground "There is a growing recognition that the world cannot stand idly bv." and sets a time limit for U.S. military action at 60 days with an optional renewal of 30 days. President Obama also announced that he will make his case to the American people on Tuesday evening. President Barack Obama met with global leaders Friday in Russia for the annual G20 summit. "I've been encouraged by discussions with my fellow leaders this week," President Obama said. Edited by James Ogdem Though the G20 focuses on economic issues, in President Obama's news conference after the summit he said that leaders from Europe, Asia and the Middle East agreed a strong response to Syria's use of chemical weapons is necessary to maintain international law and norms.

UNDEFEATED, KU FOOTBALL ROOLZ!!! hey, u awake Kansas football makes strides in green movement I know being a Jayhawk pretty much requires me to be a basketball fanatic, but growing up in southeast Kansas has fostered my love of goal posts and shoulder pads. My earliest memories are of watching stadium lights while my dad cheered next to me at Pittsburg State University football games. I was enamored with the way bugs or snowflakes (depending on the season) looked as they passed in front of the light's glow. Now, when I look at the lights in Memorial Stadium, I'm thinking to myself, how much coal does it take to power one of those lights? I guess that's what happens when you become an Environmental Studies major—childhood memories become ecological nightmares. Until last year, when a professor casually joked about the carbon footprint of a football game, I had never considered the externalities of a sporting event. From that point on, when I entered a stadium I passed judgment on the situation around me. I thought to myself, do these people even know what that synthetic field is made of? But then reality hit me like a pigskin to the face: I didn't even know what that field was made of. I realized that a simple comment in a classroom had influenced the value I placed on my favorite autumn activity. I fought back against my urge to place football in the box of "environmentally hazardous" and did what anyone with WiFi would do: I started Googling. I began with the question of how stadium lights are powered. I initially believed that all lights were coal-powered, energy-suckers. However, after a bit of research, I discovered that there is a green movement among many NFL teams. Some fields, such as the MetLife Stadium in New York, use solar powered lights and a large number of stadiums use efficient, high-wattage lamps in order to reduce energy costs, inadvertently reducing the use of fossil fuels. Obviously, all stadiums are not created equal. Some will require more energy than others. Some will use coal or natural gas to By Gabby Murnan gmurnan@kansan.com power their lights, while others will use greener energies. Overall it is important to note that football teams are trending towards reducing their carbon footprint. reducing them carbon footprint. Next I tackled the surely deployable world of synthetic turf. My pre-conceived notion was that synthetic fields are cesspool of toxic chemicals, but a quick search sent my negativity packing. The little black dots on football fields that inevitably get stuck between my toes are ground up used tires, made with chemical additives—doesn't sound like the greatest surface to face-plant into. However, numerous government-sponsored studies have shown that levels of chemicals in synthetic turfs, similar to the AstroPlay field the Hawks have been playing on since 2000, are not harmful. In fact, one could argue that synthetic fields use recycled materials as well as conserve water. Once again, the institution of football has foiled my high- and-mighty eco ideals by swaying towards environmentally friendly practices. Lastly I entertained the trash issue. Memorial Stadium has a seating capacity of 50,071. If the entire stadium's occupancy purchased one bottle of water from the concession stand, roughly 2,097 pounds of empty plastic bottles would remain. Now multiply that number by 7 home football games and the equivalent weight in plastic waste is that of almost four African elephants. My disdain for bottled water dissipated when I discovered that many universities offer game day recycling options for fans. In fact, the University will be promoting sustainable habits this fall by launching its waste-diversion program. Rock Chalk Recycle, which will provide recycling and composting options at Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse. Although an enormous amount of waste is produced during a single game, the efforts of many teams and universities to encourage recycling and composting provide a ray of hope for environmentally conscious football fans. Alas, my hopes of exposing the institution of football as an evil, environment-destroying industry were foiled by the ecologically minded initiatives of university athletic departments and the NFL. Although it put me in a sour mood for last year's football season, my professor's comment led me to question the social norms of football country and allowed me to strike a balance between appreciation of football and awareness of its environmental impacts. Now I can attend a game at Memorial Stadium with a heart full of past football memories and a head filled with just a little more knowledge on how I'm interacting with my environment. One thing is for sure, I will still be the girl staring up at the dazzling lights and telling the drunken guy next to me to recycle that bottle. BOOKS Gabrielle Murnan is a sophomore majoring in Environmental Studies from Pittsburg. Literary analysis provides insight to everyday life Being an English major, I've had my fair share of existential life-ponderings, moments of questioning my choice of study and panic about the future. But after three years of studying literature and writing extensive papers, I've realized that majoring in English was a great choice. Why? All emphasis on the importance of clear, effective writing and communication aside, my exposure to a variety of stories and viewpoints—both fictional and real—has taught me to process the world through more than one lens. In other words, reading books has given me the ability to see everything from more than one side. This is a really important skill to learn while you're in college; half of any major is really learning how to think outside the confines of the box you were raised in. the box you use in class So how did literature help me gain this quality? Let's start with an issue that's been on a lot of people's minds lately: men and women in media. Because of a particular performance by a certain young celebrity, and an equally obnoxious song by another celebrity, the roles that both men and women play in the media, and their choices as entertainers has been the focus of many conversations and articles. This isn't news. Many times, the reaction to celebrity "scandal" is the same: there's slut-shaming for women, bigot name-calling By Tasha Cerny tcerny@kansan.com for men, and everyone pretends to hate certain celebrities while secretly Googling everything about them. But what I find most interesting is that no one ever stops to consider their own reaction to these celebrities and why they have that reaction. People complain about the society that's reflected in the entertainment world, but ultimately, the underlying issue is our own expectations for that world. Harnessing my English major superpowers, The Hunger Games trilogy is a great look at societal expectation for entertainment. Yes, I realize that America is a ridiculously long way away from being a fictional, war-torn, dystopia that hosts an annual reality TV-esque tournament where children fight to the death. But if you really consider the way Capital citizens treat tributes, it's not all that different from the ways in which we emulate celebrities and drool at anything that comes from the hands of Hollywood. We could talk all day and night about women's roles in the media, how we live in a "man's world," and the moral degradation of society, but at the end of it all, the phrase 'sex sells' is still only true because we, as a society and audience, allow it to be true. Celebrities allow themselves to be seen and choose to perform the way that they do because it's what we, as an audience, have collectively asked for. The pressure to live up to "Hollywood standards" is only reinforced by our choices as an audience. So, while it may seem random to relate a fictional young adult novel to the celebrity hubbub that surrounds our lives, I feel that I gain some insight about the world by making that connection. And if I didn't have the exposure to literature that I do, wouldn't be able to make that connection. Moral of the story: being an English major is awesome, but in case you aren't one (and even if you are), reading "just for fun" is really important. Conversations about how and why we do things, why certain choices are made, and why certain actions are committed, are an important part of learning about the world and people in general. Literature, particularly those stories and books you won't read for class, helps give us new perspectives and experiences to draw from in those conversations, so that we can build stronger reasoning and reflect more widely on the world around us.

Tweet us your opinions, and we just might publish them. @BadBuddhist4 @Kansan_Opiont I worked in a milk cooler for seven hours. D. C. @MikeJohnson022 ENERGY EPA pushes inferior ethanol product @Kansan_Opinion we didn't wear the full band uniform so we had 0 casualties! The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) is broken. The dard (RFS) is broken. The RFS is designed to allow the Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA, to set a schedule for increasing the amount of renewable fuels used every year. In other words, the EPA determines how much ethanol is in your gasoline. Hooray, we will be independent of Middle East oil (if you lean right) or yippee, we are taking steps in the right direction to stop burning fossil fuels (if you lean left). With this kind of bipartisan appeal, no wonder something like the RFS withstood scrutiny and had strong support from both sides of the aisle. While the intention was great, the execution has been awful, and upon real examination, the RFS has to go. Let's begin with how the RFS is enforced. How do you make sure refiners – big, greedy companies that hoard fat margins for themselves – blend ethanol into their evil gasoline? How does one reel in these robber barons and force corn down their dirty throats? Easy enough: Renewable Identification Numbers, better known as RINs. A RIN is a serial number attached to a gallon of biofuel to track where it goes. Based on a refiner's output, that refiner must also have a certain number of RINs. If the refiner doesn't have enough, it faces stiff financial penalties. This is where it gets hairy. RINs are being traded, because if a refiner doesn't meet their RIN requirement, they can buy the RINs and be in compliance. Great, but decreasing demand for gasoline and increasing quotas for ethanol have caused the price of a RIN to skyrocket, putting upward pressure on gasoline prices. And then there's the issue of fraudulent RINs, an entire other column-worthy subject. Ethanol producers would have you believe that the RIN issue is just the refining industry whining. They actually would have you believe that ethanol is reducing the price of gasoline. Let's entertain that thought for a brief moment. If ethanol, a commodity, was making gasoline cheaper for the same energy value, why must the EPA mandate billions of gallons of ethanol production with the RFS? If you went to a refiner and said, "I can make your gasoline cheaper and just as efficient in engines, no doubt," which refiner would turn you away? That's because ethanol isn't making gasoline cheaper. Then, are people just investing in ethanol production because the government is mandating ethanol By Chris Ouyang washley@kansan.com That's my problem with the RFS. The EPA is picking a winner and a loser, in a huge way. production? Absolutely. What a novel idea. Have they overinvested? Yeah, a lot of companies have, which is why you see fighting between ethanol producers and refiners around the same time every year. It's right around the time the EPA states its ethanol volume goals for the RFS. If that number is too low, ethanol producers lose; if that number is too high, refiners lose. Let's say the government gets an itch for fating sugar. I'm looking at you, State of New York. Okay, New York wants 1.5 billion pounds of Splenda to be consumed. Make it happen. Oh, Splenda is more expensive than sugar? Who cares. You must mix Splenda with sugar or be penalized. Absurd, right? How is that different than the EPA demanding 16.55 billion gallons of ethanol? I'm very against the principle of the EPA propping up an entire industry - ethanol - because sometimes, when the economy is doing well, our government gets a renewable energy itch. I'll drive it home – do you know why it's hard to find soda with real sugar? It may have something to do with corn syrup being cheaper than cane sugar. Consider high miles per gallon (mpg) cars, the proximate cause for declining gasoline demand. Is the Prius's success because of the government's mpg mandates, or is it because of consumer demand, rising costs of gasoline, and competition within the auto industry? I'm in favor of the latter, primarily because the latter is true. I'm all for innovation in the energy industry, but what's wrong with forcing the ethanol industry to innovate through market forces? What's wrong with: hey, we shouldn't be forced to buy your product, especially when it's lower quality and more expensive. In the face of obviously declining demand for gasoline, it's baffling that the EPA stands unwavering, hailing ethanol as the next generation of fuels. Sorry, that's going to require actual innovation, something that won't happen as long as the EPA is propping up the ethanol industry with the Renewable Fuel Standard.

Quarterback Jake Heaps showed off a strong arm and head coach Charlie Weis really showcased Kansas' diverse running game. If you watched Saturday's game, you should be excited for an offense that can produce. GLASS HALF EMPTY Heaps was on the money, but there were drops evenly spread across the whole wide receiving crew. It also looked as if there were a few mental lapses on the defensive side of the ball. The Kansas defense looked especially bad against South Dakota's mobile quarterback. GOOD, BAD, OR JUST PLAIN STUPID Several times we saw the Kansas offense lineup in Wildcat formation with Christian Matthews taking the snap. The Wildcat had minimal success throughout the game; hard to expect it to work against more talented and disciplined Big 12 defenses though. DELAY OF GAME Penalty flags were flying everywhere, with few favoring the Jayhawks. Kansas had a total of 9 penalties Saturday night, all reflective of some mental defensive lapses. LOOKING AHEAD The Jayhawks have a big test on the road next week against Rice. Rice put up a nice effort against Texas A&M in Week One losing to the Aggies 52-31. For a Kansas nonconference opponent to play an SEC team that close Huge opportunity for Kansas to show that its program is taking a step in the right direction. FINAL THOUGHT Kansas didn't look overly impressive, but the team's performance should give many fans reason to hope. Kansas did look a little sloppy, and the biggest question will be to determine if the on-field concerns are quick fixes or real problems. Too many dropped balls by WRs. Too weak against QB run. Tune in next week. OFFENSE: B While new quarterback Jake Heaps struggled early on, the running game didn't seem to lose a beat, as it picked up where it was last year. Kansas used five running backs, gaining 280 yards with an impressive 5.6 yards per carry. The receiving corps certainly didn't help Heaps' cause as they dropped several passes along the way. The talent and depth was there, the execution at certain points in the game wasn't. DEFENSE: C Like the offense, the defense was shaky in some spots. South Dakota quarterback Jordan Vander Maten led the Coyotes' rushing attack with 78 yards as the outside rush defense often struggled. The highlight was a pick-six by Keon Stowers, but that was negated by two penalties. Ben Goodman and Kevin Young exerted some pressure early on, something that wasn't there last season, which was promising. COACHING: B SPECIAL TEAMS: A This was definitely the bright spot of the three groups as they did it in every facet. Matthew Wyman came in and booted in his first college field goal from 45 yards, and Trevor Pardula notched a few touchbacks. Josh Ford, who also blocked a punt in last year's opener, did it again this year, as he added on to the specialteams magic early in the first quarter. The team was a little jittery, but with so many new players it was expected that the rhythm was going to be a little topsy-turvy at first. Weis knew what he wanted to do pretty early on- and that was to pound the ground. Credit to Weis for sticking to the right game plan as Heaps looks to find his way. —Edited by Evan Dunbar KU TEST PREP GRE GMAT LSAT Use your smartphone and snap this for an additional $50 discount!

ESPN.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Who was the last wide receiver to catch a touchdown pass for Kansas? A. DJ Beshears Oct. 22, 2011 vs Kansas State ar ESPN.com THE MORNING BREW Kansas offense shows promise Coming into the 2013 football season for Kansas, there were many questions surrounding this year's team and it's potential to win games. Would Jake Heaps be as good as advertised? Would Justin McCay emerge as a top pass catcher? And how would the kicking game look after a kicker-by-committee situation last season? For at least one week, some of these questions have been answered. Heaps managed the offense well, making tough throws when the team needed him to. His passing numbers were not gaudy - he was only 10 of 20 for 110 yards and a touchdown - but he didn't need to throw the ball much with the running game generating 280 yards. The biggest positive from Heaps' performance was that he didn't throw any interceptions. The biggest problem with the quarterbacks last year By Evan Dunbar edunbar@kansan.com was their knack for turning the ball over. If Heaps can take care of the ball and be precise with his throws, the passing game can become a legitimate part of Kansas' offense. With the Jayhawks heading to Houston next week to take on Rice, Heaps' aerial skills should be put to the test a bit more. If he is to be successful, wide receiver Justin McCay will have to step up. McCay, the former five-star recruit out of Kansas City, Mo. caught his first touchdown pass as a Jayhawk in the second quarter of Saturday's game against South Dakota. This was also the first touchdown pass caught by a Kansas wide receiver since the 2011 season, McCay had only one other catch in the game, however, and will need to improve his production if the passing game is to be effective. Besides McCay, the only other wide receivers to catch a KU pass Saturday were senior Josh Ford and sophomore Tre' Parmalee, who combined for two catches for 29 yards. Other players will have to catch passes to take some pressure off the running backs, who are frequently targeted out of the backfield. turned this offseason to try One big positive from Saturday's win was walk-on placekicker Matthew Wyman. Wyman made all four of his extra points and booted a 45-yard field goal in the fourth turned this onseason to try and earn a spot on the team, winning the starting job late in camp. As unstable as the kicking game was last season, Wyman seems to have the range the Kansas kicking game has been lacking the past few seasons. - Edited by Casey Hutchins This week in athletics Monday NO SCHEDULED EVENTS Tuesday Soccer Creighton 6 p.m. Omaha, Neb.

VOLLEYBALL Arkansas takes home opener from Jayhawks on Saturday BLAIR SHEADE bsheade@kansan.com people strong on Saturday, the Jayhawks lost its first home opener in 15 seasons against the University of Arkansas 25-23, 25-21, 26-24, 25-11, 11-15. This match was the first home opener for true freshman middle blocker Taylor Soucie, who led the team in hitting percentage for the first time this year. Even though The Horejsi family Athletic Center was packed 1150 people strong on Saturday, the Soucie, from Osawatomie, Kan., said the home opener was really exciting, and she was happy with her improvements throughout the match and from the beginning of the season, but there is still room for improvement. "I never really learned blocking so that was a big step, but pretty much the difference is things are a little quicker," Souci said. Arkansas was only Souci's fourth game this season, and she already set a career high in kills (12) and hitting percentage .(435). Soucie was getting more comfortable with senior setter Erin McNorton as the season progressed. Publishers. "I have had issues with not getting feet to feet with the blocker outside and my hands going behind my head when blocking." Soucie said. Soucie added four blocks to her stat book, but blocking is new to her. Being a true freshman is hard to adapt to college play Soucie said. Kansas out hit Arkansas, but still found ways to lose the game.

Volume 126 Issue 9 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports kansan.com COMMENTARY New season for Kansas football By Blake Schuster bschuster@kansan.com It's your first college football game as a student; you wake up early, grab a few friends and start working your way over to Memorial Stadium. And at that point you held onto the one aspect that makes game day enticing — no, not alcohol — optimism. Those of us who've been students here for the past three years haven't had much of that to go around so we defaulted to that other thing. It was with last year's record in mind that a group of freshmen showed up twenty minutes before kickoff and were astounded by the trouble they had finding seats. "I wasn't expecting that big of a crowd," Zach Zoeller, a freshman from Belleville, Ill., said. "It really was pretty full. I was happy to see that." When Charlie Weis was hired at Kansas it wasn't just the fact that Turner Gill had turned the Orange Bowl champions into tackling teddy bears that he had to deal with. The student fanbase had become so disinterested that it was common to see kids wearing their "We Are Basketball" lavwhips shirts on fall Saturdays. It's no doubt easier to recruit when the stadium is packed for every game, but without a winning team many fans didn't even bother showing up. So you start to build on the spectators as well as the players. You ask them to "Join The Chant," to be part of the rebranding of Kansas football. Zoeller, like many in the crowd, expected a Kansas victory and the team delivered. When you've fallen from near the top of the FBS you take every tiny step you can. Credit Weis with two wins on Saturday, the one on the field and the one in the stands. You could argue which one was more important. "We're going to try and go to every game, especially the big ones," Zoeller said. "The enthusiasm was there." Every game? Don't these kids know this team hasn't won a Big 12 game since they were sophomores in high school? "I don't think the expectations are high enough to where if they lose a couple games we're just going to give up." Zach Donaldson, a freshman from Belleville, Ill., said. It's a far cry from Turner Gill's "Believe" mantra and it's everything this team needs — off the field, at least. Ben Burch was another member of that freshman group who gone to the game "just because." As a Leawood native, Burch grew up with Kansas football and, aside from the Orange Bowl year, never cared too much for it. Now he nods his head in agreement as his friends talk about sticking it out at Kivisto Field for the remainder of the season This is it. This is the turnaround that the football program has been longing for. Create an environment that players want to be in and they'll come. Kansas has some of the best practice facilities in division one, plays in a top tier conference and is working like hell to take the track out of Memorial Stadium. This is a victory for the Athletics Department three years in the making. "I knew it was going to be one of the few wins we have all season," Donaldson said, "Hopefully there's more." Monday, September 9,2013 Edited by Casey Hutchins FOOTBALL Rewind PAGE 6 10 KANSAS CITY NCAAS KANSAS CITY KANSAS KANSAS ESPN TOUCHDOWN KANSAI 9 Quarterback Jake Heaps directs the offense on the goal line against South Dakota. Heaps was 10-for-20 passing for 110 yards and a touchdown in the game. ON THE OFFENSIVE Kansas looks to add passing threat to strong running game MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com One specific goal for Charlie Weis and the Kansas offense during training camp was to develop a balanced attack. The Layhawks hoped to gain a respectable passing game through several additions at receiver and quarterback, as well as giving some players new roles. Quarterback Jake Heaps stepped in at a position where the Jay-hawks were among the worst in the NCAA statistically, and in his first game in Lawrence, against South Dakota, Heaps displayed the accuracy that coaches said would be the difference. "We haven't seen those touch throws," Weis said, "not since I've been here have we had that type of throw be able to be completed." Tight end Jimmay Mundine caught one of those touch passes from Heaps on a corner route that barely floated over the hands of a South Dakota linebacker, and went for 19 yards. "To be honest, I didn't think I was going to get the ball because I saw two guys right below me as soon as I broke out, but he put it right over them," Mundine said. "It was a perfect pass." The statistics aren't especially noteworthy, as Heaps went 10-for-20 for 110 yards and one touchdown. But beyond the numbers, there's no question he showed an improvement over what Kansas had a season ago at the quarterback position. The balance of play calling was heavily weighted toward the run, which remains the clear strength for the Jayhawks. Kansas ran 50 running plays to just 20 passes. Heaps扣到了ball off to all five running backs, who combined for 271 yards and three touchdowns'. When the Jayhawks pulled ahead 14-7 at halftime, Weis decided to relentlessly run the ball in the third quarter, passing just three times and handing the ball off 12 straight times on one drive, which ended with a James Sims touchdown run. "I just felt at halftime, with the game 14-7, that we should be physically controlling both lines of scrimmage," Weis said. "So, I said we're going to get the ball and we're going to ram it down their throat. It wasn't because I didn't want to throw the ball, it was because you're sending a message to your team, 'lookit fellas, let's get going' Miller, Tony Pierson, Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox. "You might have to gameplan inside, out, speed, power," Miller said, "I mean however [you want to plan], but as long as we stick to our game and do what the coaches call I think we'll be alright." Sims rushed for two touchdowns and 94 yards in the first game of his senior season, but it was Darian Miller that added yet another dynamic running threat to an already versatile group. Miller rushed for 72 yards on 14 carries in his return to Kansas, after a year at Butler Junior College. Miller said after the game that they are an unselfish group of backs who have no problem cheering for each other. And they realize how much pressure it puts on opposing defenses to game plan for all five of them; Sims, There is a lot to improve on for the offense this week. But with a solid running game and the promise of a higher ceiling for the passing game, there is the potential for this offense to click and become a much more balanced threat than a season ago. For now though, it's still just potential. —Edited by Evan Dunbar Jayhawks unable to score against Arizona State ISTELLA LIANG sliang@kansan.com Within a three minute stretch of the second half, the Kansas soccer team went from being down just one goal to facing a daunting three goal deficit against Arizona State on Sunday.

Gamer Nights is every Tuesday. Burger Stand offers classic video games ckuiper@kansan.com CODY KUIPER One Lawrence bar is allowing customers to relive the glory days of their youth through classic video game systems. In addition to old systems, The Burger Stand offers newer games on the Xbox 360, but bartender Paul Smith said people come for the games they played as a kid. The Burger Stand at The Casbah on 8th and Massachusetts Streets hosts Gamer Nights every Tuesday, where patrons can relax and play games on old systems like the Sega and Super Nintendo, or participate in competitive tournaments with others. "Most people like to play the vintage stuff," Smith said. "The Nintendo 64 is probably the most played because it's just such a good party system and it has so many awesome four-player games like Mario Kart." Gamer Night started about a year ago after Smith collaborated with Burger Stand manager Chris Hoffman. The two were looking for a way to bring more customers to their downstairs bar, and Smith realized he and the rest of the staff owned enough video game systems to make the startup cost for the event a non factor. From there, the staff began taking small amounts of money out of their tips to add more games to the collection. The event has grown in popularity over the past year and tournaments have even had to be capped at 40 participants, but its success has not come as a surprise to Smith. "Being a huge gamer myself, I'm not shocked this is popular because video games are awesome," Smith said. "Everybody loves Mario Kart for good reason, because it's really nostalgic and it's quality fun." Alex Pimentel, a Lawrence resident and University graduate, is a regular at Gamer Night, and said it offers the same joy he got from video games as a child. "I grew up playing all of these games, and it's a wonderful little splash of nostalgia." Pimentel said. "It's a lot like the parties you would have when you were a kid, but instead of juice and candy, now I have a beer and a burger." Participants in the tournament can win prizes like Burger Stand gift cards and T-shirts, but Pimentel said it's really the opportunity to meet other gamers that brings people in, not the prizes. "Everything that's plugged in right now, it's something you can play with friends." Pimentel said. "I've gotten to know a lot of people that regularly come because of that. I remember when I was a little kid, sitting at the Nintendo playing 'Punch Out' and just taking turns when somebody loses, and that's exactly what this is." The Burger Stand offers bracket-style tournaments most weeks with single-player games like "Mario Kart" and "007 Golden Eye," and team games like "Super Smash Brothers". Smith said he also hopes to start bringing more variety, such as a Wii Sports Triathlon event, to future tournaments. Danielle Bolle, a Lawrence resident, has only been attending Gamer Night for a few weeks, and said the opportunity to play games she normally can't attracted her. "I play a good amount of games on my own time, but not the old, classic stuff they have here, which is really cool," Bolle said. "I mean, I'm playing 'Battletoads' right now, which is just amazing because it's basically my childhood." Gamer Night is free, restricted to those aged 21 and over and begins at 8 p.m. every Tuesday. — Edited by Duncan McHenry kansan.com CAMPUS COLLABORATE Members of Ask Big Questions engage in a discussion at KU Hillel. The group hopes to connect the campus community through big life questions. KU Hillel promotes campus conversation with new program. MADDIE FARBER mfarber@kansan.com A good discussion can form organically, but sometimes it needs a bit of help to get rolling. "Ask Big Questions," a new program at campus Jewish organization KU Hillel, is intended to give those conversations a push and keep them rolling all year long. The program got its start one spring afternoon at Hillel as University juniors Gabi Guillory and Ben Davis were discussing Guillory's qualms about traditional dating with Senior Jewish Educator Rabbi Neal Schuster. After this spontaneous conversation, Guillory and Davis had the idea to start a student-lead discussion group through Hillel about various thought-provoking topics. They wanted to make these conversations happen more frequently, and on purpose. I saw the gap between the religious and social aspects of Hillel," Davis said. "I was frustrated and wanted to find something that was in the middle." "Ask Big Questions" is a national initiative, and through funding from Hillel's national organization, eight interns have been hired to reach out to students through digital media and social networking. They want to encourage them to join frequent conversations that "really make people think", Davis said. According to Davis, the discussions that take place at "Ask Big Questions" are not controversial topics that cause heated debate. gives students of all different backgrounds an opportunity to express their opinions and engage in intellectually stimulating conversation outside of the classroom. Schuster said that while some students may have reservations about attending because Hillet is a religion-based group, they should have no concerns about a hidden agenda. "These discussions are for anyone," Guillory said. "There is no knowledge base needed, no facts and statistics need to have been previously acquired, and no qualifications. Anyone can join in, and that's our aim." "A 'big question' is one that is relatable to everyone; no one is excluded by these questions, and they can be discussed without being debated," Davis said. "They exist on a spectrum and are not black and white. There are different perspectives, and everybody will have [one]." "These conversations are about big things in life that relate to everyone, not just Jews," Schuster said. "If we can get people around campus talking about the same big question in lots of little conversations here and there, that creates a connection and a sense of community. People connecting Guillory said "Ask Big Questions" over profound ideas; to me that makes our campus and, ultimately, our world, a richer place. In addition to hosting numerous small-group conversations throughout the year, "Ask Big Questions" plans to run two campus-wide campaigns. These will most likely include some presence on Wesco Beach, and utilize digital media and social networking. The group has a lot of creative ideas in mind for campaigns, but until dates are solidified students can follow @ ABQKU on Twitter for more information. "Ask Big Questions" encourages students to think about the "big questions" they might have, and to discuss them among friends, whether over a cup of coffee or through an organized meeting. The big question for this month is, "Where is home for you?" Start discussing. Edited by Duncan McHenry WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW http://bit.ly/15LEtvb Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little sits down for an interview Monday. She discussed the effects student loans rates will have on campus. Chancellor speaks about student loan rates, higher education funding cuts CODY KUIPER ckuiper@kansan.com Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed topics affecting the university on a national and state level on Monday, including recent changes made to student loan rates and higher education funding in Kansas. Before their August recess, Congress passed a law that separates student loan rates from their fixed rate and allows them to operate in a market-based system. The loan rates are tied to 10-year Treasury Notes, which means loan rates for undergraduates lower to 3.9 percent, but these rates will fluctuate each year. Gray-Little said even though the short-term effects of the law may be positive, it could actually hurt students in the future. "I suspect in the long-term it's going to mean higher interest rates for students, which will mean the cost of borrowing money is more and the any guarantee about the rate of interest and that's a concern because "I suspect in the long-term it's going to mean higher interest rates for students.

"The losses on the Lawrence campus will be less obvious because it's not doing something that we would have otherwise done — that is we're not hiring as many faculty," she said.

The lights do not contain censors or cameras. There is a new color of traffic light at the intersections of 23rd and Iowa and 23rd and Louisiana streets. But it does not mean drivers have to do anything differently—except be more cautious. These small blue lights fixed above the regular traffic colors help police officers determine if a driver passes through a red light. The light does not contain sensors or cameras, but simply turns on with the red stoplight. This allows police officers to determine if a light is red from any vantage point in the intersection. The new tool will potentially increase the enforcement of red light violators, according to Sergeant Trent McKinley, spokesperson for the Lawrence Police Department. "Maybe they would be more careful about running the so-called yellow light." "We can park in an area where we can see the blue light, and merge into traffic to stop the violator," McKinley said. Eric Fitzsimmons, a post-doctoral researcher at the University Transportation Research Institute was a key developer of the blue-light project. The project is funded by the Kansas Department of Transportation and the Mid-America Transportation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It includes two intersections in Lawrence and two in Overland Park, Fitzsimmons said. This is easier than crossing through a red light to pull over a driver, McKinley said. He also said the blue lights could cause drivers to be more careful. "You see a lot more people hitting the breaks," McKinley said. The two intersections chosen for the project, which are intersections with frequent red-light running, were selected by the city, Lawrence Police Department and Fitzsimmons' research team. "Ultimately, this project is designed to help the city in hopefully reducing the number of serious intersection crashes that result from someone running a red light," Fitzsimmons said. Trenton Corcoran, a senior from Ottawa, thought at first that those blue lights were to illuminate signage beside the traffic lights at night. He is not concerned with the new According to Fitzsimmons, stu- traffic additions because he does not think that driving through red lights is a problem in Lawrence. "I guess I'm impartial," Corcoran said. "I've lived in Lawrence two years now and I don't see a lot of red light running." "If you see a yellow light and don't think you can make it safely through the intersection, come to a stop and wait," Fitzsimmons dents and staff should not be concerned with the new lights, especially if they do not run red lights, Fitzsimmons said. said. "It's only 60 to 90 seconds—but we all know it feels like forever—but you could be saving a life." Edited by Heather Nelson CAMPUS Accomplished alumnus presents business lecture JOURNEY CAPETTINI jcapettini@kansan.com Robert Steven Kaplan, a KU graduate and author of "What You're Really Meant to Do," presented a lecture about personal achievement last night at the Lied Center. In his book, Kaplan takes common questions such as "what does it mean to be 'successful?'" and "how do you achieve your dreams?" and addresses them at a unique, individual level. Like the book, Kaplan's lecture focused on how success can be measured differently for each person, and how to discover one's self rather than achieve the world's view of success. Kaplan said his lecture is adaptable to any age group, as he typically sizes up the audience to establish his approach. "When I talk to an older group of CEOs I focus more on leadership and commitment," Kaplan said. "With younger groups I talk about finding yourself, visions, priorities, relationships and potential." Kaplan's theory on how to be successful is to know one's own strengths, passions and story, and to understand the effects of traumas and failures. According to Kaplan, one must first act on their beliefs with courage and interpersonal skills, and then find a way to add value to the world around them. "People can't think 'what's in it for me?' Kaplan said. "Even if it is for money, the money will come as a result of adding value to others." The lecture was put on by the School of Business as part of its Anderson W. Chandler Lecture Series, but Kaplan emphasized that the lecture was not about business at all. Instead, he said it could be helpful to anyone. According to a School of Business press release, after his undergraduate years at the University, Kaplan graduated with a Masters of Business Administration from Harvard. He has since held a number of positions, including head of Asia-Pacific Investment Banking, global co-head of the --punished with an incorrect byline.

Periodically, the account will tweet out events and opportunities where followers can find free food on campus. It has proven quite popular, given the content of the account. Alek Jayce, a senior from Lawrence, is one of the founders of the account. He stated that the idea for the account came two years ago while he was working in the summer at Student Senate along with co-founder Kris Velasco. During that time, both of them realized that the university offered many opportunities for free food, but lacked a central source to find it all, so they started an account to fill that need. "I think it's useful. I mean, when I'm on campus and I see they tweet something, I get free food," said Amy Melby, a junior from Wamego. Melby also said that thanks to a re-tweet from the account she won a gift certificate for free food from Cupcake Construction Company. Since then, Velasco has graduated and Joyce is the primary administrator of the account. The account has more than 3,000 followers and includes mentions from places such as the Lawrence Journal-World for a "must follow" account. joyce is responsive to followers of the account and vice-versa. From time-to-time followers will ask some form of the question, "Where can I find free food?" @FreeFood.atKU will reply or ask followers for help. Emily Poppe, a senior from Omaha, Neb., has reached out to the account before. "The Alumni Association had their free food last week, and I went there, and I knew about it because of him," Poppe said. Poppe is also an Assistant Director of the Culinary Committee on SUA, and stated that the account sometimes helps to publicize their events by re-tweeting SUA events on the Free Food account. Besides gaining positive feedback from students and student groups, University entities such as KU Libraries also like the Free Food account. Katie Coffman, Communications Coordinator, in charge of the KU Libraries' Twitter account, tweeted at Free Food for several food-related library events, such as the Anschutz Open House. "I just thought it would a good way to attract attention to our events that have free food," Coffman said. While she wasn't sure if promotion on the account helped with turnout at Anschutz's event, 800 total pieces of pizza were distributed. in addition to campus-related free food options, the account occasionally publicizes free food offerings from local restaurants as well. They tweeted about Hot Box Cookies offering free samples during the first week of school on Wesco Beach, but the company manager in Lawrence was unsure how much impact resulted solely from the publicity from @ FreeFoodAtKU. Joyce's time at the university ends with his graduation in May, which has forced him to give some thoughts to a successor. He isn't very far into the selection process, and is trying to decide between asking somebody he already knows and accepting possible candidates through an interview process. Joyce plans to be very selective in a possible successor. "This has been a baby of mine this whole time at campus. It's probably my favorite accomplishment on campus thus far."

And the break-ins involve guns more often than they did in the past, The Lawrence Journal-World reported. LAWRENCE, Kan. — Police are seeing a troubling rise in the number of drug-related home invasions committed in Lawrence, especially against young people who are considered easy targets. ASSOCIATED PRESS and you're seeing, more and more, firearms being used. That's disturbing." In some cases, the criminals have forced their way into a home after their intended target has moved away, leaving them to terrorize the current residents who don't have drugs or cash to give up. "It is a regular occurrence," said police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley. "It didn't used to happen with that much frequency, Often the victims are drug dealers — college-age youths selling marijuana from their homes — police said. Some victims have been beaten, others have been shot and killed. So far this year, nobody has been shot in any of the home invasions. In December, one of three men accused of invading a home was accidentally shot while he and an accomplice tried to kick in a door. Connor McKenzie Mayhan, 21, of Olathe, testified in court that the target of the robbery was $30,000 in drug "It didn't used to happen with that much frequency, and you're seeing, more and more, firearms being used. That's disturbing." SGT. TRENT MCKINLEY Lawrence police officer ment officers said it appears to be a problem in Lawrence more than in other cities. For instance, in Overland Park police counted only one or two drug-related home robberies in a year. Police and prosecutors have complained of an increase in drug-fueled home invasions before. In 2011, they identified six drug-related home robberies over the previous two years, while in 2008, they counted four, including one that resulted in a double homicide. While such robberies have been happening for a long time within the illicit drug trade, law enforce- money. In that case, two teenagers went to the home of Roland Klundt, a 20-year-old Baker University student, to rob him of drugs and money. Klundt was armed, though, and shot and killed one of the teens. The other teenager; Kellam Jones, who was 16 at the time, killed Klundt with a rifle. Jones was convicted of murder and is serving a 14-year prison sentence in El Dorado. He will be eligible for parole in June 2020. While some may view marijuana as less harmful than other illegal drugs, he said, being involved in large quantities of drugs and cash has gotten people killed. "We certainly want to impress upon young people how dangerous this can be," said Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson.

CHANCELLOR FROM PAGE 1 relation to the number of students, and that cut makes it a lot harder." Gray-Little says the budget cuts could cause an even bigger loss than the initial $5.3 million, as it could discourage people from donating to the university. "I don't think it helps our fundraising when we get budget cuts," she said. "Donors don't like to see their funds go to make up for holes, they like to see their money go to expand or increase the quality or something like that, so I don't expect donors to come in and say, 'We'll fill in for faculty donations the state didn't give.'" Issues involving higher education such as student loan rates and budget cuts were a contentious political topic over the summer, and Gray-Little thinks the decisions that were made regarding them are a result of a disconnect between representatives and their constituency. "It makes me wonder about how much the general population, the students and their parents out in the different communities where the legislators come from, to what extent do legislators know that those families want them to support higher education?" she said. "I hope that message will be carried forward by people other than me, because if I go to the legislator they know why I'm there and what I represent, so I think it's a message that needs to come from the people who the legislators represent as well."

ENVIRONMENT Conservation of bees necessary for everyday life Fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds disappear from your diet. Prices of dairy products skyrocket. Blue jeans, towels, mattresses and shoelaces are distant memories. If any of these statements sound unpleasant, then you should care about the future of bees. Honeybee populations are steadily declining mainly due to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). The USDA states that the cause is still unknown to researchers. According to the USDA, the total number of managed honeybee colonies has decreased from 5 million in the 1940s to only 2.5 million today. In October 2006, beekeepers began to report a 30 to 90 percent decline in populations. In most CCD-affected hives, Varroa mites (a virus-transmitting parasite of honey bees) have been found. Other research seems to blame the use of agricultural pesticides. I'll be honest, when I first heard about the diminishing bee populations, I wasn't automatically inspired to take action. With the ever-rising number of endangered species, caring about a stinging insect is more difficult than feeling sorry for an adorable baby polar bear slowly losing its habitat. It wasn't until I did further research that I realized how essential bees are to our lifestyle and how they really do deserve our attention and conservation efforts. pesticides. Although the opening scenarios may have seemed a little dramatic, there is a logical progression to why our beloved foods and household staples will disappear along with the bees. Dina Spector, in "What Our World Would Look Like Without Honeybees," illustrates the progression with thorough explanations and chilling pictures. By Jenny Stern jstern@kansan.com To summarize the chain of events described in Spector's article, without pollination, whole harvests of fruits, vegetables and nuts would fail. For example, almonds are primarily produced by managed honeybee colonies (without bees, almond production would be reduced to less than 1/6 the normal value). Almond shells are ground and used to feed cows. Without bees to help produce more almonds, cows become malnourished. Malnourished cows produce less milk, therefore increasing prices of dairy products. Cotton depends directly on bee pollination, and without bees all cotton production would cease. Honeylove.org also emphasizes how much our society relies on bees. Bees pollinate 80 percent of the world's plants, including 90 different food crops. This basically means that I out of every three or four bites of food we eat is thanks to bees. Also, the honeybee is responsible for $15 billion in U.S. agricultural crops each year. So how can we save the bees. An easy first step would be to never kill a bee out of fear. According to Justfood.org, the chances that someone will be hit by a car is 59.3% more likely than a severe reaction from the sting of any one insect in a year. Honeybees are not aggressive creatures and are very unlikely to sting unless provoked. The USDA suggests, "The public can plant pollinator-friendly plants—plants that are good sources of nectar and pollen such as red clover, foxglove, bee balm, joe-pye weed and other native plants." If you don't exactly have room for a garden in your current location, simply providing a clean water source for the bees is a kind gesture according to honeylove. org. Finally, we can support beekeepers by being sure to purchase local honey. The beekeepers are the ones ultimately involved in sustaining our bee populations. So unless you'd like to radically alter your diet, wardrobe and annual income, believe the buzz and save the bees. Jenny Stern is a sophomore majoring in Biology from Lawrence. EDUCATION Students must hold Senator Brownback accountable for cuts When my grandfather was my age, 20, he could get drafted into the military, but he couldn't vote. The last time I spoke with him he told me about how it felt to not have any sort of representation, but to still carry the burden of his responsibility to his country. I haven't had to deal with anything remotely like that, but I do have the right to representation, and with it comes a different kind of responsibility. As students, we are a part of an interest group that is not being appropriately represented. Our interests have been ignored because our state government has learned that students are not willing to actively engage, and due to lack of participation, can be ignored without facing retribution at the polls. The single largest annual education funding decrease in Kansas' history was not at the height of the recession, but in 2011, in order to compensate for the state's decreased revenue from Governor Brownback's income tax cuts. Since the recession, Brownback has cut education funding to $745 per student, making Kansas the state with the seventh-biggest net decrease in education funding during that period. Conversely, there are many other states that now have a net increase in education funding since the recession. By Clay Cosby ccosby@kansan.com funding since the recession. Brownback is simply not making it easier for students to succeed. If students seeking a college education weren't already facing enough obstacles, Brownback has only added to the pile. While Brownback's administration may have merely intended to distress the deepening tuition epidemic when it cut funding to universities, if that wasn't bad enough, the cuts will have additional consequences for students Not only are students facing more obstacles to completing school, and facing worse job prospects in Kansas where the recovery has been slower than in other states, but they are also being undermined by an administration that is failing to stimulate the economy and invest in the next generation of Kansas' employees. This administration is at the same time damaging both the short and long-term employment prospects for students in Kansas. Brownback's strategy has been ineffective in spurring the economy in the short term and has placed an additional burden on students hoping to attend college in the state. This will be detrimental to the long run competitiveness of Kansas' labor force, affecting our state's ability to attract jobs with a skilled workforce in the future. As a student you may still be willing to put up with this behavior. You may be thinking that while it is obviously not ideal for students, maybe it is necessary to balance the budget. But that's not the case. Brownback's real priorities become clear when you follow the money. Two birds with one stone - it would be clever if it were an act of sabotage. Although Brownback toured the regent institutions this spring, delivering the message that he didn't want to cut funding to schools, he was essentially trying to cover his back and blame external budgetary factors for why higher-ed funding was being threatened. Those factors, however, are self-inflicted and a reflection of what the priorities of this administration are. Brownback forged a false dilemma - that there was no choice but to deliver cuts to education in order to balance the budget. But he was only able to make that argument because of his tax breaks benefitting the wealthy that he prioritized over funding for schools and student interest. This is not an issue of party politics or a question of fiscal ideology. It should not be a matter of partisanship but one of representation. Whatever side of the aisle you find yourself on, this is an issue of an administration that has neglected and actively harmed a significant portion of its constituency because it believed it could do so without consequence. It is harder to complete school here, harder to get a job afterwards, and Brownback is doing nothing about it except shifting the burden of taxes off of the highest-grossing citizens. Not only is Governor Brownback neglecting students' interests, he has been effective in undermining them. We, as the future of the state should not be ignored in the present. Students have the ability to leverage our voices until we are too loud to be ignored, and this is the time for students to actively become engaged in our own best interests. Otherwise, it clearly won't be done for us, and unlike our grandparents, we have been given the right to do so.

Tweet us your opinions, and we just might publish them. Skipped reading leads to real consequences Lets be honest—you probably didn't do your reading for class today. No, really. I get it. You're a busy student. You've got all of those "important" homework assignments that get those pesky things called grades. You don't have time to read. Because I mean, really, we all know reading is optional. It's something that professors assign when they just feel like giving us something to do. It's not like it really has a purpose. I'd like to think that this is an exaggeration, but looking at the state of college students today, I'm starting to think it's not. Simply put, when the average college student prioritizes their homework, reading will always go to the bottom. There's usually a SparkNotes version or another student to pester for notes - any option but actually sitting down and opening a book. I can understand the occasional missed reading assignment. Everyone has priorities. But if those priorities never include reading for class, then yeah, you've got a problem. Because I'm going to let you in on a secret right now—professors do actually think reading is good for you. Scientists think that, too. Really, everyone and their dog thinks that reading can do nothing but help you. It expands your vocabulary, it introduces new ideas and it teaches you valuable lessons. The real question here is this: why did you come to college if you didn't want to learn? you didn't want to learn? When I was in high school, I knew people who bragged about never having finished a book in their life. They were proud of it, like it was an accomplishment to turn 18 and graduate without actually working. But all I could think about was the fact that they wasted their only free education proving that they didn't have to learn. I thought things would be different in college. But in every class I have, there's some idiot sitting there bragging about passing the class despite never opening a single book. Well, to all of you slackers out there, bravo. You have successfully taken mediocrity to a new level. You're now paying for the right to not learn. Congratulations.

Maybe you think you can get a job that doesn't include reading or writing—because that may be difficult, since your college education would suggest you're aiming for something a bit higher than manual labor. You want to know what I think? I think you'd be angry, because you pay those people good money to know what they are talking about. You pay them to know their field, and to have learned what they need to, and to be well-versed in their specific fields of the English language. And you realize what that means?

Alex Gordon scored. CLEVELAND — Ubaldo Jimenez struck out 10 in seven innings and Asdrubal Cabrera, Yan Gomes and Carlos Santana each hit solo homers, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night in a matchup between two teams in the thick of the AL wild-card chase. The Indians, who won despite having only five hits, stayed even with Baltimore. 1½ games back of Tampa Bay for the second wild-card spot. The Royals dropped to four games behind the Rays. four game (11-1) allowed one unearned run and didn't walk a batter. The right-hander left with a 4-1 lead after throwing 99 pitches, but Alex Gordon hit a two-run homer off Cody Allen in the eighth. Chris Perez survived a shaky ninth for his 23rd save, retiring Gordon on a fly ball with the bases loaded to end the game. The Indians have won six of eight. Salvador Perez led off with a single and Mike Moustakas walked on four pitches. Pinch-hitter David Lough's sacrifice moved the runners to second and third.

Pinch-hitter George Kotaras, battling back from an 0-2 count, walked to load the bases. county where Gordon fled out to center fielder Michael Bourn to finally end Chris Perez's 7-pitch inning.

First baseman Nick Swisher fielded Gordon's groundball and threw to catcher Yan Gomes, who tagged Dyson for the out. Muth ruled the ball foul, bringing Indians manager Terry Francona out of the dugout. The umpires huddled briefly and left the field to view a replay, which clearly showed the ball hit the foul pole. The umps returned to the field, DeMuth gave the home run signal and Santana rounded the bases. A crowd of only 9,794 attended the game, despite the matchup of two contenders. Several hundred dogs were also in attendance with a Puppypaloza" promotion.

Ramirez made his manager look good in the third when he started the inning with a single. As Drew Stubbs grounded out to third baseman Mike Moustakas, Ramirez, running on the 3-2 pitch, headed to third base. First baseman Eric Hosmer's return throw to third was in the dirt. The ball bounced off Moustakas and rolled into shallow left field as Ramirez slid into the base. Shortstop Alcides Escobar tracked down the ball but briefly bobbled it and Ramirez headed home, scoring without a throw. Ramirez's throwing error on Gordon's infield hit led to Kansas City's run in the sixth. His wild throw to first allowed Gordon to take second before Hosmer's two-out single cut the lead to 3-1. Other than the error, the Indians supported Jimenez with strong defense. Jarrod Dyson led off the third with a double and took third Gomes also threw out two runners trying to steal second.

Mets. Gonzalez held the overmatched Mets hitless into the seventh before pinch-hitter Zach Lutz broke up the bid with a soft single for New York's only hit. Lutz swung at the first pitch of the inning and hit a looper that landed on the first base line, taking out a chunk of chalk well behind the bag. First baseman Adam LaRoche made a diving attempt as the ball hit the dirt, but it squirred by and into foul territory along the right field line. First base umpire John Hirschbeck correctly called it fair, and Gonzalez (10-6) paused behind the mound to stare in his direction. After that, the left-hander kept sailing along in a dominant performance. He struck out eight and walked two for his second career shutout and fourth complete game, improving to 5-0 in his last six starts against the Mets. Denard Span and Ryan Zimmerman hit back-to-back homers to start the game. Jayson Werth and Tyler Moore also connected off Carlos Torres (3-4), roughed up by Washington for the second time in six weeks. Wilson Ramos added a three-run shot off reliever Greg Burke. Handed a huge lead, Gonzalez was in cruise control as he won his third straight start. He faced three batters more than the minimum to help the Nationals, on the fringe of the NL wild-card chase, win their third in a row and fifth in six games. Washington gave Gonzalez a two-run lead before he took the mound, hitting two homers on Torres' first eight pitches. Span's shot to right field was his six career leadoff homer and first for the Nationals this season. It also extended his hitting streak to 20 games, the longest active run in the majors. Zimmerman followed with a drive to left-center for his fourth home run in three days and sixth in the last seven games. It marked the third time this season that a team hit back-to-back homers to begin a game, according to STATS. Matt Carpenter and Carlos Beltran did it for St. Louis on April 26 against Pittsburgh, and Kole Calhoun and Mike Trout connected for the Los Angeles Angels on Aug. 6 against Texas. Steve Lombardozzi and Bryce Harper were the last Nationals pair to achieve the feat on June 3, 2012, against Atlanta. The previous time the Mets served up homers to the first two batters in a game was June 28, 2003, when Alfonso Soriano and Derek Jeter went deep for the Yankees, STATS said. Span singled in the third, Zimmerman walked and Werth hit a three-run shot to left-center. Moore opened the fourth with a long drive to straightaway center, making it 6-0. Ramos connected in the fifth, and the only drama left was Gonzalez's pursuit of a no-hitter. ter. Torres gave up six runs and five hits in four innings. He's made four solid starts for the Mets and turned in two duds against the Nationals, including their 14-1 rout on July 28.

Nyad's progress was tracked online via GPS by her team — data that is now fueling speculation that Nyad stopped swimming or received assistance for hours at a time in the middle of the Florida Straits.

Some swimmers analyzing the available data say Nyad, who has said she tends to swim at a speed of roughly 1.5 mph, appeared to maintain sprinter's pace or faster for a considerable amount of time. Navigator John Bartlett said the increased speed was due to the Gulf Stream working in her favor, nothing more. "At some points we were doing almost 4 miles an hour," Bartlett said. "That's just the way it works. If the current is in your favor at all, that explains it." Some of Nyad's critics also question whether she violated the traditions of her sport — many follow strict guidelines known as the English Channel rules — by using a specialized mask and bodysuit to protect herself from jellyfish. Nyad never said she would follow English Channel rules, and she wore a full, non-neoprene body suit, gloves, booties and a silicone mask at night, when jellyfish are a particular problem, and removed the suit once she got over the reef on her approach to Key West.

NEW CONFERENCES, SAME TEAMS Thankfully, NHL training camps open up next Monday. I know it's been a long and grueling offseason for many of you, but the ice is fresh and it's time to start over. Here are the top five storylines heading into the 2013-14 season. The biggest change this season is the switch to two conferences with four divisions replacing the old format of two conferences with three divisions. The Pacific consists of Anaheim, Calgary, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Jose and Vancouver. The Central features Chicago, Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis and Winnipeg. The Metropolitan includes Carolina, Columbus, New Jersey, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington. And the Atlantic is rounded out with Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Florida, Montreal, Ottawa, Tampa Bay and Toronto. By Blake Schuster bschuster@kansan.com HYBRID ICING For the duration of the preseason the NHL will test out a new form of icing. Under the new rules, if a race to the puck occurs the play will be called dead at the faceoff dot as long as the defender is winning the race, as opposed to being the first to touch the puck. However, if the attacker is first to the faceoff dot the race will continue until the puck is touched. If all goes well the preseason players can vote to implement the rule for the 2013-14 season. REWRITING RULE 40 As CBC's Elliotte Friedman first reported on Monday, the NHL has changed the language of Rule 48, which deals with illegal hits to the head. Previously the rule penalized "a hit resulting in contact with an opponent's头 where the head is targeted and the principal point of contact is not permitted." The league has taken out the word "targeted," meaning the blame is now solely on the hitter. Given the league's case-by-case study of offenders, it'll be interesting to see how many suspensions are handed down KU BURKE HEADS BACK WEST When the Maple Leafs let Brian Burke go as GM last season it wasn't as shocking as his next move, joining the Calgary Flames as President of Hockey Operations.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Eagles run over Redskins, unveil new fast-paced offense LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Just try to keep up with Michael Vick, Lesean McCoy and the Philadelphia Eagles this season. Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins sure couldn't. Playing at a frenetic pace that left the Redskins bumbling and stumbling, the Eagles unleashed coach Chip Kelly's offense on the NFL and crammed 77 plays into 60 minutes of football. They had their share of miscues, of course, but they held on for a 33-27 upset of the defending NFC East champs. Vick, running the don't-take breath attack that won 87 percent of the time during Kelly's four years at the University of Oregon, completed 15 of 25 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns, and he ran nine times for 56 yards and a score. McCoy had 31 carries for 184 yards, including a 34-yard TD. DeSean Jackson piled up 104 yards on seven catches. Vick hit Jackson for a 25-yard touchdown and Brent Celek for a 28-yard score, then found the end zone himself on a 3-yard run — and that was just the first half. It would have been a bigger rout if Vick hadn't missed three open receivers in the first quarter, or if his sideways lateral on first-and-goal at the 4 hadn't been tipped by linebacker Ryan Kerrigan and returned 75 vards for a Redskins touchdown. Perhaps the most remarkable accomplishment by Vick, McCoy, Kelly and the Eagles: They managed to upstage Griffin. The game was played eight months to the day since the Redskins quarterback had major knee surgery, and his return Monday was the culmination of a dedicated, high-profile rehab that included a public clash with Washington coach Mike Shanahan that barely put a dent in 'the fans' fervent adoration for their franchise player. As it turned out, they didn't have much of a chance to chant "R-G-31" — because the Redskins offense couldn't stay on the field. Their first seven plays: lost fumble by Alfred Morris, 3-yard loss by Morris, penalty for illegal shift, screen to Morris that got back some yards, interception thrown by Griffin into triple coverage, pass dropped by fullback Darrel Young, safety that occurred when Morris bobbled a pitch in the end zone. The Redskins were trailing 33-7 late in the third quarter before three consecutive touchdowns — the last coming with 1:14 to play — made the score more respectable. Wearing a brace on his right knee, Griffin completed 30 of 49 passes for 329 yards, but 169 yards came in the fourth after the Eagles had taken control. He was also intercepted twice — the first multi-interception game of his career. He ran only five times for 24 yards. He reached down to touch his knee after he was slammed down by Mychal Kendricks late in the second quarter — Griffin was flagged for intentional grounding on the play — but the quarterback remained in the game.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Grammatical errors aside, that old adage should dictate the manner in which Charlie Weis decides to coach the rest of the season. Here's what ain't broke: the running game and special teams. Weis would be wise to rely on these strengths for the rest of the year. The running game and special teams allowed Kansas to control both the clock and the battle for field position. If Kansas is in control of both of those facets of the game, it will mask their deficiencies elsewhere. The Jayhawks employed five running backs on Saturday night, James Sims, Darius Miller, Tony Pierson, Taylor Cox, and Brandon Bourbon. None rushed for more than one hundred yards, but that is because none of them got enough carries to do so. However, each did have at least thirty yards and averaged more than five yards a carry. When one back got a little tired, Weis put in another. When the Coyote defenders felt they might have one back figured out, Weis turned the tables on them. A twelve-play touchdown drive in which all plays were runs demonstrated this commitment. The drive took six minutes off the clock and kept the tired South Dakota defense on the field. Almost as important, it kept the South Dakota offense off the field. Kansas' defense was not a liability against South Dakota, but there was nothing to suggest it will be able to match up well with Big 12 offenses going forward. Keeping those offenses on the sideline is a must. In addition to the running game, the special teams proved to be an asset. Matthew Wyman made a 45-yard field goal, which at Kansas is almost as rare as a Kendrick Perkins smile. Connor Embree racked up 23 yards per punt return, and Kansas held South Dakota's return units in check. When a team is teetering the line between contender and pretender, special teams can make or break a season. Here, it gives Kansas' offense better field position and provides its defense with more cushion behind it. That is not to say Weis can ignore the other facets of the game. Jake Heaps needs to improve his vision, the receivers have to stop emulating Sprint service (dropping everything), and the defense must tighten up its run support. It will be tempting for Weis to change his game plan if these things improve, especially the passing offense. Weis has been deemed an offensive guru, and a system built around a running game is probably as boring to him as British Art History is to you. However, even if the passing game improves, Weis needs to realize the running game is the foundation of the team. He also needs to realize a pinpoint punt or successful long-distance fied goal can be desirable. The passing game should exist to complement his smorgasbord of running backs rather than vice versa. If Weis puts aside his ego and realizes that, Kansas football may still be relevant in December. If not, well, there's always basketball season.

The Jayhawks will have the chance to earn a quality road win on Tuesday. Coming off their second loss of the season, the Jayhawks (4-2) head to Omaha, Neb., to take on the Creighton Bluejays. It will be Kansas' sixth road match in its last seven contests. Three Jayhawks set career highs in that contest. Redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc recorded 22 kills, senior setter Erin McNorton totaled 67 assists, and sophomore outside hitter Tiana Dockery logged 15 kills and digs. In one of several rematches from last season for Kansas, Creighton (4-1) will try to avenge last year's five-set loss to the Jayhawks in Horesji Family Athletics Center. Kansas won the match 27-25, 25-21, 21-25, 19-25, 15-13. Creighton, who was ranked No. 19 in last week's American "A couple of sets didn't go our way," Carmichael said. "But that's what volleyball is about. We fought back and fought them off." Two days later, Kansas dropped its home opener against the Razorbacks. With both teams tied 11-11 in the fifth set, Arkansas won the last four points of the match to escape with the win. Jarmoc and junior outside hitter Sara McClinton led the team with 18 kills apiece. Kansas is coming off two five-set matches against Arkansas. On Thursday, Sept. 5, the Jayhawks rallied from a 2-1 set deficit on the road to claim the victory.

FOOTBALL Edited by Heather Nelson Missing defensive players can't stay away MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com Most fans noticed a big piece of the newly rebuilt Kansas defense missing on the field Saturday against South Dakota. Defensive lineman Marquel Combs, the top ranked junior college prospect by ESPN, didn't appear on the Kansas line. Sophomore Ben Goodman (93) and Junior JaCorey Sheerd (24) make a tackle during Saturday's game. Kansas beat South Dakota 31-14. Charlie Weis was asked about Combs in his weekly Big 12 media teleconference on Monday morning. "He knows that the sky's the limit for him and he's going to have to work his way up the ladder." Weis said of Combs. "Right now, he's behind the guys that are playing ahead of him." 15 Combs was moved from first string defensive end to second string nose tackle on the depth chart released before the South Dakota game, but on Saturday he never appeared on the field. MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSA "Marquel looks more comfortable inside and Kevin Young has been the most productive of the defensive ends." Weis said last Young played on the line for the majority of the snaps on Saturday. Weis said he was as impressed with Young's performance in training camp as he was with anybody. week of that move. "You have to just go by what you see," Weis said. "The best guy plays." One junior college transfer who didn't suit up for Saturday's game against South Dakota is cornerback Kevin Short, who could potentially be a starting cornerback at some point this season. A press release by Kansas Athletics distributed before the game said that Short would not play for personal reasons, and that he wouldn't suit up. Weis would not go into detail about the situation after the game but said it was not for disciplinary reasons, it involved personal matters. talent as any player on the roster. 4 "There's a number of these new juco guys, that although they're not playing much right now, we see potential for them going forward," Weis said. For the guys that were on the field, Weis has found it easier to criticize some of the mistakes from the game after a win than it is after a loss. Both Combs and Short will be needed on the field at some point this season for the defense to improve from the 36 points and 481 yards it allowed last season. We believe that Short has as much "I mean, from the volume of penalties, to dropped balls, to quarterback runs." Weis said. "there's a volume of things we can use to get better from that game." The outside runs by South Dakota quarterback Josh Vander Maten hurt the Jayhawks at times, and that is definitely a question going forward this season. "We need to do a better job on the edge with the quarterbacks because we'll see that more and more as the season goes on." Weis sees the Rice Owls as a physical rushing team with power running backs, but quarterback Taylor McHargue has already There hasn't been any indication of whether Short will wear his helmet and pads for the first time as a Jayhawk yet, or how many snaps Combs will play, but the Jayhawks will need to use all of shown his ability to keep the ball and run for big gains, as he rushed for 78 yards against Texas A&M in the first game of the season. the talent they can to win on the road -- something they failed to do all of last season.

The winner receives $25,000 for mascot costume upgrades or equipment Big Jay is vying for the title of 2013 Capital One Mascot of the Year and needs your support. He is one of 16 college mascots selected through video entries for the nationwide competition. Each week, Big Jay goes head-to-head with another mascot and each match's winner is declared based on who receives the most votes. The winner of the title will be chosen the week of the Capitol One Bowl and receives $25,000 for their school's mascot program, which could be used for costume upgrades and additional equipment. Not only does Big Jay deserve to win, according to Paul Quigley, a marketing representative for the mascot, but his senior-night tuxedo is looking a little worm. "The reason Big Jay was chosen is because he's a unique character. There's nothing else in the nation that's anything like Big Jay," Quigley said. Big Jay is the tallest (over 7'4") and most accomplished mascot with five national basketball championships under his belt. Big Jay defeated Mike the Tiger from Louisiana State University last week with 52 percent of the vote and is currently ahead of Rocky the Rocket from the University of Toledo with 53 percent of the vote in this week's match-up. Voting ends on Sunday of each week. "He's kind of full of himself. He's cooler than everybody else and he knows it. It's kind of hard not to choose Big Jay when he's that popular," Quigley said. "There's nothing more important to him than a win for the Jayhawks." PAUL QUIGLEY Marketing representative for Big Jay Charlotte Lane, a senior from Olathe, played alto saxophone in the Marching Jayhawks for four years and said that game days can be exhausting for the band. Members attend an early morning rehearsal and begin performing an hour before kickoff. "I know Big Jay was a reminder to me that we were there to entertain and to keep spirits up if they were down, and to keep us excited until the very end." Lane said. It's a given that Big Jay should win — he's from a school with one of the best student sections in the nation. Lane said. Preston Randall, a sophomore from Lawrence, is a running-back for the jayhawks. He said Big Jay is a great symbol for fans on game day. "He represents a great school and that's a great reason to vote for him." Randall said. For many students, Big Jay is a symbol not only of game day spirit, but also of the hard work and dedication that is present throughout the University. Big Jay lives and dies with Jayhawk wins and losses, Quigley said. "There's nothing more important to him than a win for the Jayhawks," Quigley said. "Big Jay deserves to win because there's no better way to show the rest of the nation how proud and how loud Jayhawk nation is." Edited by Kayla Overbey THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO VOTE 1.

New journalism program connects students with alumni ASHLEY BOOKER abooker@kansan.com After six months of hard work, Justin Christian, a senior from Topeka, can sit back and watch applications roll in as his new group, Next Generation Program, unveils. This program is the first student development program at the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications. It is devoted to interaction with the community and fellow students, real-world work experience and engagement with the journalism school alumni. This program consists of alumni and 20 students from each class (freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors) who will be divided into five groups with equal class representation. Groups will work all This program was part of last year's Challenge Day at J-School Generations. Justin's team was given four and a half hours to give a presentation on a design of a 21st century journalism curriculum with no funding limitations. "If a 16-student team with an alumni advisor approaches a business that they decided as a group they want to help, that organization is crazy not to say yes," Christian said. During the year students will come up with three presentations: a research presentation, a progress report and a final presentation, which will be presented to faculty and alumni at J-School Generations the next fall. year for a business, school group or any organization that needs a void filled. The team's main goal was to create a mentorship program where students would be able to network with other students, talk about their experiences and also pass down techniques learned inside or outside the classroom. For a previous major, Christian was involved in a mentorship program where he was required to meet with a mentor two times. They met twice and parted ways. This process not only was frustrating at the time, but also made him feel that his mentor was too busy for him. These experiences shaped what Christian thinks a mentorship program should be and, better yet, he thinks it's a program that will give students a more enriched experience than his own. Journalism school advisor Dan McCarthy, who has worked with Christian, compared education to a car engine, and said that students are the driving force and the steering wheel. McCarthy said that students are the ones who can say, "No, I want to go more in this direction." The Next Generation Program lets students drive each group making their own decisions on what business they will be working with, how much time they spend together and how they will complete the project. As applications are arriving in Christian's inbox, he's a little nervous, but excited since he is seeing the results of his hard work. Applications are underway and should be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Sept. 26. For more information email Christian at J.Christian@ ku.edu. Edited by Kayla Overbey Daughter remembers Ground Zero heroes I grew up in a suburb 24 miles from Ground Zero with a father who was a firefighter in one of the busiest firehouses in New York City's East Harlem. "The Fire Factory" is a broken down, two-story brick structure, but it was a second home to my father. When he wasn't there, we were home together raising the volume every time there was news of a fire on the TV, or listening to the FDNY fire dispatch playing subtly in my kitchen. On the morning of Sept. 11, I attended another seemingly normal day of third grade at Covert Avenue Elementary School. At 10 a.m. I was picked up early by my friend's mother. I didn't know our country was in the midst of experiencing one of the worst terrorist attacks in our history, I was just thrilled not to be sitting through another boring classroom activity. At the same time, Mayor Rudy Giuliani was issuing an "all-city alert." This meant all NYC firefighters and police officers must report to their jobs. That included my dad. With that, my mother removed my father's FDNY medal, a birthday gift she got him a few years prior, from around his My dad left for Ground Zero around 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001, and returned on Friday, Sept. 14. He was a first responder and made it to Ground Zero before the collapse of the second tower. As the day dragged on and the look of fear and anxiety consumed my mother, I grew curious. Our phone was ringing off the hook and the TV in our living room was blasting with voices of scared and confused newscasters. Nobody knew what was happening. Some people were calling this an act of terrorism; others were calling it an "accident." Index After four nights, my father returned home. We were the lucky ones - some families are still waiting on their loved ones. But he had slept in the firehouse, working day and night, ceasing the fire and rummaging through the rubble. I don't know what my father saw during those long hours, and to this day he is quiet about the experience.

MASSIVE MARKETING The bookstore will join a number of other campus hotspots that have been given facelifts in the past few years, including the Underground and Wescoe Beach. These projects are being undertaken by the University in an attempt to enhance the student experience. The eagerness for the bookstore remodel is evident in the faces of all of the staff members within the building. "We're really excited about the construction," said Estella McCollum, director of KU Bookstores. "This has been a long time coming." The project has been in the making for close to three years and should certainly wow students and faculty upon its completion. The new floor plan will boast 13 total registers distributed among the different areas of the store. By moving the registers to the corners of the floor rather than having them lined up in the front, the bookstore hopes to alleviate some of the congestion that occurred with high traffic in the past. The KU Bookstore is now under construction. The remodel is set to be completed by Nov. 15. The remodel is set to be completed by Nov. 15. The current phase of the design, commissioned by Sabatini Architects and Bruner Construction, is scheduled for completion on Sept. 20. The KU Tech Shop will have its own register rather than sharing sales space with the rest of the store. By separating clothing, textbooks and technology into their own areas, McCollum said she is "confident that this will create a much better customer experience when it comes to peak traffic times." ERIN BREMER/KANSAN The nature of the bookstore gives it quite a bit of control over the planning process for the development. "We are a self-funded nonprofit, so everything that we make is reinvested into building upkeep and student activities," McCollum said. -- Edited by Emma McElhaney STATE New license plates support the arts with Driving the Arts program KATIE MCBRIDE kmcbride@kansan.com The Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission announced a new license plate as part of an initiative called "Driving the Arts" in a move to generate funding for arts programs. arts programs. The plates have a $50 annual fee with 100 percent of the revenue going to Kansas arts programs. The CAIC has a revenue goal of $100,000 per year, requiring a minimum of 2,000 plates to be purchased by April 1 to meet this year's goal. Governor Sam Brownback vetoed to continue funding the Kansas Arts Commission in 2011, making Kansas the first state to stop funding the arts. Brownback defended his decision by saying the arts should be funded by private contributors, not public tax dollars. This led to the loss of $689,000 of funding for the Kansas Arts Commission and more than $1 million in matching funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mid-American Arts Alliance towards arts programs and grants in Kansas. Since the funding cuts, arts programs and initiatives have had to raise funding through local taxes and private donations. Many programs have struggled to raise funding on their own, specifically in rural areas, writes Scott Rothschild from the Lawrence Journal-World. Maria Losito, a junior from Olathe studying illustration and animation, said even if the funds from the plates do not make up for the significant amount lost from funding cuts two years ago, it might create a positive motivation to start finding other sources of funding. Losito said she worries that students will lose interest in art or not attempt to pursue artistic endeavors if resources are limited or inaccessible, and might lose an important way to express themselves. "Having an art program helps young students discover who they are and gives them extra avenues to figure out what they want to do in life." Losito said. In 2012, Brownback formed the CAIC, a division of the State Commerce Department, which replaced the previously disbanded Kansas Arts Commission. The Kansas arts community recently celebrated a success in August, when the National Endowment for the Arts restored $560,000 in arts grants to the CAIC. Some of the grant recipients for this year include the Hutchinson Theatre Guild and the Arkansas City Area Arts Council. Selena Cochran, a senior from Karimna City Leawood studying visual art, said that throughout her time in school before coming to the University, her arts and choir classes were "the most fun part of the day, a release and escape during school." "I think it's something all children should be able to explore if they want to, and they shouldn't have to struggle to find a way to do it," Cochran adds. "They might not ever know that they'd enjoy something like that, which is scary." Cochran said she doesn't "understand why the arts would be considered less important than other things," and said she thinks the arts deserve funding from the state. "It makes people explore other ways of thinking, and other ways of processing things," Cochran said. "If you don't have the arts, you're not using a whole other part of your brain, the creative side. It's just an important part of life." Cochran said she finds it sad that some students in schools around Kansas may not get the opportunity to experience arts classee "For a lot of people, it's their escape if they're struggling through something. It helps them get through difficult times. Everybody should be able to test it out." Loito said she feels that a loss of arts funding means a blow to contributions that the artistic community makes.

Renovations included updated equipment and a wider range of catering options. LELIY GRIMM O R₂ S ELLY GRIMM egrimm@kansan.com During a 78-day period during the summer, KU Dining Services gutted and then renovated the Daisy Hill dining facility, Mrs. E's. The $5 million renovation project began on May 17 and was open to students by the beginning of classes. Renovations to the facility include the addition of stations that cater to dietary needs with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options, additional seating and updated equipment. "We had a number of things that we were getting to the point it was just worn out," said Mark Maranell, manager of Mrs. F.'s. "We certainly did our best to keep the place in good condition, keep things clean and in function but we had a number of pieces of equipment that were just worn out. It was time." According to Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of KU Memorial Unions residential dining, the project had been in the books for roughly five years, but because of renovations to other dining facilities, it didn't come to life until this year. "Our design construction management team here on campus has to be involved and then we have to do interviews with contractors and consultants and all that and equipment contractors," she said. "That's why it took so long" One thing that both Kidwell and Maranell said that students have noticed about the facility is how much smoother the flow in and out of the dining room is. "It definitely has a cleaner, much more modern look," said Dalton Kingery, a freshman from Fredonia. "I feel like there's a lot more space than there used to be." Another new feature of the "We actually did a focus group last year with a group of those students for all of KU Dining and we asked 'we were meeting your needs?' and 'where can we do better?'

KU Dining Services held a test run in August with a Pan-Hellenic sorority rush event. It was their first taste of what students thought of the new facility, and according to Kidwell, it was a success. "They were extremely impressed with the facilities, the different concepts and the variety of food that were able to do for them," Kidwell said.

Why isn't there any good Chinese food in Lawrence?? 12 years later: First responders haven't stopped It's been 12 years since the Sept. 11 attacks, yet the memory is still fresh in our mind. If you ask around, your friends or peers will tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing when the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center. As the nation watched the following terrorist attacks unfold in New York, City and Washington, D.C., our eyes were glued to the horrific scenes running on every news station. Time stopped as our nation realized that we weren't the invincible and impervious country we liked to believe we were. The World Trade Center collapsed, and the New York City skyline was changed forever. However, as we sat in front of our television or listened to our parents call their loved ones, there were a courageous group of men and women who didn't blink an eye. The towers fell and as the smoke filled the Pentagon, firefighters and police officers responded immediately to the catastrophic acts. Today isn't Independence Day or President's Day. It's not Thanksgiving and it's not Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We're not eating stuffing and watching football and we're not shooting off fireworks or taking the day off of work and school. Our lives are busy and our calendars are full. We're constantly focused on what's next, whether that's looking for a job after graduation, the biology exam next week or the birthday party on Thursday. Today, we ask you to take a step back from your busy life. Take a moment to recognize the brave first responders of 9/11 who gave their life to save another. Take a moment to thank the men and women who protect our communities every day and for those serves overseas protecting our country right this minute. We also ask you to take a moment to be thankful for the rights and privileges of we, as Americans, enjoy. Our country may not be perfect and there will always be room for improvement. However, we're better off than many others. Be thankful we have the freedom to write this editorial and you have the freedom to pick up a paper on campus and read it. Lastly, we ask you to educate yourself on the world around you. There is a lot happening outside of Lawrence, outside of the Midwest and outside of our borders. We challenge you to flip on the nightly news or read an article online and inform yourself on the conflicts and struggles our country is embedded in. As college students, conscientious citizens and as Americans, it's your responsibility to be informed and understand that there's more than the biology exam next week or the birthday party this Thursday. Be thankful for the sacrifices others have made to keep our communities safe and our country free. Allison Kohn for the University Daily Kansan editorial board INTERNATIONAL Conflict in Syria calls for compromise, understanding This week, Congress and the American people should carefully weigh the options the U.S. could take in response to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's deployment of chemical weapons against civilians. The serious, complex nature of the decision necessitates that both supporters and opponents of military action recognize that the opposite side's viewpoint is valid. By Amanda Gress agress@kansan.com There's strong incentive to oversimplify the issue. Syria is complicated. The geography is unfamiliar, the sectarian tensions have deep roots, the civil war's history spans two years and different countries around the world support different factions within the war. As a result, discussions typically devolve into statements like "there's an al-Qaeda affiliate fighting against Assad, so helping the rebels only increases terrorism," or "President Obama called the use of chemical weapons a 'red line', so if we don't respond, the U.S. will lose all its international credibility." The problem with these arguments is that they assume no new information can sway the end result, and that no middle ground exists. Instead of taking a little from both camps to create the most effective action, we view the upcoming Congressional vote as a stark yes-or-no choice between full-fledged war and complete inaction. That's a problem, because the Syrian conflict is not going to end soon and carries broader implications for the rest of the world. In the movie Argo, CIA operative Tony Mendez pitches a desperate, last-ditch plan to extract six U.S. diplomats from Tehran during the Iranian hostage crisis. No good options remain, he explains, but the Iranian intelligence forces will discover the diplomats if the U.S. does not act. Looking defeated, his supervisor says that disguising the six as a camera crew for a fake science fiction movie is "the best bad idea we have." Good ideas about if-and-how to respond to Syria's civil war are scarce. Likely nothing any country does could create a diplomatic solution or lasting peace. Sectarian tensions are high, Russia and China block United Nations action, extremist groups support both sides of the conflict and Assad maintains control of a chemical weapons stockpile. Over 100,000 lives have been lost. Targeting cruise missiles at the command centers of Assad's military to punish the regime for using chemical weapons is the best bad idea the Obama administration has produced so far. The aim is to deter the future use of chemical weapons against civilians, not to shift the balance of power within Syria. Current plans to strike command centers are limited in scope — Secretary of State John Kerry referred to them as "unbelievably small" Withdrawing from the conversation isn't an option, because we're in a situation where countries around the world are watching and waiting to see how the U.S. responds. While testifying to Congress, Kerry pointed out that international norms against the use of chemical weapons only carry power if countries believe there will be consequences for using them. Chemical weapons receive special attention because they do not discriminate between soldiers and innocent civilians. The horrific reports of a chemical weapons attack in suburbs of Damascus began spreading three weeks ago. Video footage showed victims writting on the floor while others screamed for help; doctors described textbook symptoms of exposure to the nerve-gas sarin, which culminates in suffocation as the nerve agent paralyzes the lungs. Rescuers reported going from home to home and finding entire families killed as they slept in their beds. U.S. intelligence confirms that rockets launched from government-controlled areas and landed in rebel-controlled neighborhoods before the gas spread, and French spies report that an enormous stockpile remains unused. A complete view of the problem could reveal some important nuance in determining how to respond — so, yes, there is an al Qaeda affiliate operating in Syria, but it's just a small group among many others fighting the regime. Yes, the use of chemical weapons violates international norms and poses a serious danger to the credibility of treaties, but they have been used in other conflicts before. No, the proposed strike does not have a one hundred percent guarantee of success, but it may prevent Assad from brutally murdering some of his civilians. Judging by the posts on the Facebook pages of my representatives to Congress, a number of people think that if we create an inflexible rationale for not acting and then vote against this intervention, the Syrian problem will no longer be "our problem." They're wrong. They're wrong. We need to recognize that regardless of what we do, Syria's civil war will not end in the near future. We need to understand that both sides of the debate contain valuable insight into how we can best move forward. We need to remember that the stakes are far too high for far too many people for us to dwell on political cheap shots. At the very least, beginning a more reasonable discussion might at least help us come up with a few better bad ideas. 9/11 FROM PAGE 1 Amanda Gress is a junior studying political science and economics from Overland Park. remember is the look on his face when he returned Friday night around 2 a.m. He witnessed death. He witnessed death. His face was gray, he smelled of smoke and he looked frightened. I watched my dad attend countless funerals and take a leave of absence from his second job to dig in that pile at Ground Zero until January the following year. He searched for a piece of his missing Lieutenant and served his time to the city that he loved with the men he called his brothers. brothers. The New York City Fire Department coined the term "The New Normal", and my family was trying its best to adjust to it. But nothing was the same. I witnessed my father grow somber and more introverted. My parents attended counseling services provided by the city. Our family vacations scheduled that year were cancelled. Our city doubted our safety, lost a sense of buoyancy and everything was put on hold. As a family, we dread this week more than any other throughout the year. We want to forget the death, the fear and the terror that we witnessed. We ignore the phonies and money-hungry people indulging from the event. Instead, we watch my father get dressed in his suit and tie and attend memorials and church services while the names of the deceased, including 343 firefighters, are read over the TV. This is not meant to be a sob story or a plea for sympathy. Instead, I hope it can give clarity and understanding to those who weren't as close to the tragedy as me, both emotionally and physically. Coming to Kansas for the first time two years ago has been one of the greatest experiences for my family. I am overwhelmed by the reverence and the respect Midwesterners show for my father. The pride that beams through my dad's smile when someone learns he was a first responder and thanks him for his service is contagious. Our lives have changed since that frightful morning, but the unconditional love and support makes it easier to believe the vitality of our country will be restored.

He plans to release his fall line on Sept. 21. GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN Student builds own clothing line HANNAH SUNDERMEYER hsundermeyer@kansan.com When asked to describe his clothing line, Max Ledom replied, "motivated mentally apparel." Yet those 19 syllables, those 24 letters, define the dreams, movement and drive that continue to fuel the success of Mountain Movers Co. Originating on a drive' back to Kansas City from Lawrence, the initial idea for Mountain Movers has forever changed the life of Ledom, a 19-year-old college student from Kansas City, Kan. "I was thinking back to my high school graduation party, where I had invited my sixth-grade teacher," Ledom said. "It had been the first time I'd seen her in six years. She had always been kind, caring and supportive of all of her students, so I made sure to send her a heartfelt and meaningful letter when I was writing my thank you notes. She messaged me on Facebook afterwards and told me that the letter brought her to tears. She later went on to say that I could do anything, and that I was going to move mountains." Thus the name of his company, Mountain Movers, was born, "Going into college, I didn't really know what I was going to do," Ledom said. "I wanted to take something verbal and make it in to more than what it was. I came up with the idea of a clothing line out of my passion for streetwear. I aim to motivate and inspire, and let the clothing line tell others what my elementary teacher told me. You can do what you want with your life, you can be as happy as you want, and you're in control of it." After solidifying his idea, Ledom created a page on Kick-starter, a website utilized to provide funding for various entrepreneurial endeavors through monetary pledges. Viewers of the site are provided with background on projects and can make donations to help support the businesses. Although his original goal was $3,500, Ledom ended up with a pledge total of $4,052 to build his company. His key to success for any aspiring founders is to "make a kick-ass Kick Recycle Recycle Recycle starter page — have really good videos, descriptions, and show what you're passionate about." Along with his team of Kansas students, photographer Andrew Shepherd and graphic designer Adam Henderson, Ledom has managed to create an esteemed reputation for his brand. The original spring/summer collection has almost sold out, as orders flew in for his unique tie-dye hoodies, neon bro tanks, and various T-shirts following the official release on June 3. Ledom has gained supporters as famous as Hoodie Allen and Ed Sheeran and is currently preparing for the release of his latest collection. On Sept. 21, Ledom will unveil his fall line, which will include all-new designs for logo tees and sweatshirts, personalized pocket tees, snapbacks and much more. Through his designs, Ledom's goal is to capture what life is all about, not just limiting himself to motivational slogans. While Ledom hopes to one day see Emma Watson, his dream woman and the "most perfect person on the planet," wearing his Mountain Movers logo, this up-and-coming brand is capturing the attention of teens and adults all over the nation and spreading rapidly. Ledom is living inspiration that with enough hard work, dedication and true passion, anything you strive for is within reach. But most importantly, we all have the strength to move mountains.

Van Gogh painting identified after long wait in attic ASSOCIATED PRESS Van Gogh Museum director Axel Rueger, left, and senior researcher Louis van Tilborgh, right, unveil "Sunset at Montmajour" during a press conference at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands on Monday. The museum has identified the long-lost painting which was painted by the Dutch master in 1888, the discovery is the first full-size canvas that has been found since 1928 and will be on display from Sept. 24. ASSOCIATED PRESS AMSTERDAM — A painting that sat for six decades in a Norwegian industrialist's attic, after he was told the painting was a fake, Van Gogh was pronounced the real thing Monday, making it the first full-size canvas by the tortured Dutch artist to be discovered since 1928. Experts at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam authenticated the 1888 landscape "Sunset at Montmajour" with the help of Vincent van Gogh's letters, chemical analysis of the pigments and X-rays of the canvas. Museum director Axel Rueger, at an unveiling ceremony, called the discovery a "once-in-a-lifetime experience." "This is a great painting from what many see as the high point of his artistic achievement, his period in Arles, in southern France," Rueger said. "In the same period, he painted works such as 'Sunflowers,' 'The Yellow House' and 'The Bedroom.'" Museum officials would not identify the owner who brought the artwork to them in 2011 to be authenticated. Van Gogh paintings are among the most valuable in the world, fetching tens of millions of dollars on the rare occasions one is sold at auction. The artwork will be on display at the museum beginning Sept. 24. The roughly 37-by-29-inch "Sunset at Montmajour" depicts a dry landscape of twisting oak trees, bushes and sky, and was done during the period when Van Gogh was increasingly adopting the thick "impasto" brush strokes that became typical of his work in the final years of his short life. It can be dated to the exact day it was painted because he described it in a letter to his brother, Theo, and said he had painted it the previous day — July 4, 1888. "At sunset I was on a stony heath where very small, twisted oaks grow, in the background a ruin on the hill and wheat fields in the valley," Van Gogh wrote. "It was romantic. ... The sun was pouring its very yellow rays over the bushes and the ground, absolutely a shower of gold." But then Van Gogh confessed that the painting was "well below what I'd wished to do." Later he sent it to Theo to keep. Van Gogh struggled with bouts of mental distress throughout his life and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1890. He sold only one painting during his lifetime. According to a reconstruction published in The Burlington Magazine by three researchers, the painting was recorded as number 180 in Theo's collection and given the title "Sun Setting at Arles." It was sold to French art dealer Maurice Fabre in 1901. Fabre never recorded selling the work, and the painting disappeared from history until it reappeared in 1970 in the estate of Norwegian industrialist Christian Nicolai Mustad. The Mustad family said Mustad purchased it in 1908 as a young man in one of his first forays into art collecting, but was soon told by the French ambassador to Sweden that it was a fake. Embarrassed. Mustad banished it to the attic. After Mustad's death in 1970, the distinguished art dealer Daniel Wildenstein said he thought the painting was a fake Van Gogh or possibly the work of a lesser-known German painter, and it was sold to a collector. The museum would not say who bought it or whether it had been resold since then. In 1991, the museum declined to authenticate the painting when whoever owned it at the time brought it to them. "That may be a painful admission, given that the same museum is now attributing it to Van Gogh, but it is understandable," since experts had no information about what the painting depicted, the Burlington Magazine article said. Teio Meedendorp, one of three experts who worked on the project, said his predecessors might also have been confused because the painting was done at a "transitional" moment in Van Gogh's style. "From then on, Van Gogh increasingly felt the need to paint with more and more impasto and more and more layers," he said. Among other reasons experts had their doubts: The painting was unsigned. Parts of the foreground were not "as well-observed as usual," the researchers said. And part of the right side of the painting used a different style of brush strokes. But when the museum took a fresh look at the work in 2011. But when the museum took a fresh look at the work in 2011, its experts had the advantage of a new compendium of all Van Gogh's letters, and they were able to identify for the first time the exact location "Sunset" depicts: Montmajour hill, near Arles. The ruins of Montmajour abbey can be seen in the background. Van Gogh mentioned the painting in two other letters the same summer. The number 180 on the back of the canvas was an important clue, and new chemical analysis techniques showed the pigments were identical to others Van Goob used on his palette at Arles. Gogh used on his palette at Arles. Also, an X-ray examination of the canvas showed it was of the same type Van Gogh used on other paintings from the period. Meendordd said "Sunset" belongs "to a special group of experimental works that Van Gogh at times esteemed of lesser value than we tend to do nowadays." He said it's not impossible another unknown or lost Van Gogh could be found someday. The artist is believed to have completed more than 800 works. While he destroyed some when he wasn't satisfied with the results, the whereabouts of others that are mentioned in his letters or early catalogs of his work are unknown. The Van Gogh Museum houses 140 Van Gogh paintings and receives more than a million visitors a year. MUSIC New 2 Chainz album sticks with unique party rap DUNCAN MCHENRY dmchenry@kansan.com Love him or hate him, rapper Tauheed Epps, more commonly known as 2 Chainz and less commonly as Tity Boi, is impossible to ignore. Known for years as the industry's favorite unsigned rapper who never blew up, 2 Chainz finally got his mainstream breakthrough when he laced up the gold Cuban links alongside Kanye West with the 2012 smash hit "Birthday Stone." A year later, the Atlanta emcee known for offbeat interviews about abstaining from red meat is still the same quirky pimp draped Oh, and the album even comes with a 28-page cookbook entitled "#Mealtime," which states that 2 Chainz is "reaching into his deep, flavorful pockets to hook you up with recipes you'll need for your time out on the road." Seriously, this is an actual cookbook with recipes for dishes from garlic mashed potatoes to beer-steamed snow crab legs. in jewels and Versace. His new album, "Based On A T.R.U. Story II: Me Time", is typical 2 Chainz: equal parts grimacing cocaine rap and hilarious couplets. So why does the pendulum often swing towards hate when hip-hop fans talk about 2 Chainz? For one of two reasons: they don't understand him, or haven't taken the time to really listen to his lyrics. Sure, "B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time" features plenty of the standard women, drugs and weapons subject matter that some despire—not to mention an awful Fergie cameo on the track "Netflix"—but in many songs his wordplay is downright clever. Take a line on "Black Unicorn," for example, in which 2 Chainz proclaims, "I switch gears, my yard so big I got pet deers." And on "I Do It" he drops the line, "I tried to get a tan but I'm black already. Your pockets on a diet, my pockets fat already."

It was run-heavy with 280 total rushing yards and quarterback Jake Heaps completed 10 out of 20 passes for 110 yards. Coach Charlie Weis, on the other hand, did not see last year's offense. "It was nothing like any game last year," Weis said. "There was not one game that looked like that game." According to Weis, those 10 incompletions by Heaps included four or five dropped balls, three throwaways and two or three clear incompletions. Senior safety Dexter Linton chases down South Dakota quaterback Josh Vander Maten during the game on Sept. 7. incompetitions. "Regardless of how many times we throw it, I will take those percentages any day," he said. Weis said there has to be improvement on the receiving end. Wide receiver Justin McCay had a dropped pass on a play up the sideline, which, if caught, would have been a long completion. Weis is pushing the receivers to make those plays. KANSAS 23 REVENGE IS NOT A FACTOR IN REMATCH AGAINST RICE Kansas football will face a familiar foe Saturday in the Rice Owls. The Jayhawks lost to them 25-24 last season. Weis said revenge is not a motivational factor going forward this week; instead, the loss is a learning opportunity. In last year's game, Kansas led until the final seconds of the game, when Rice kicked a field goal to win from behind. "I use that more as a teaching tool," Weis said. "I don't talk about getting revenge for what they did. We blew it. They deserved to win, because we didn't close out the game." There are positives to facing a team again in such a short time frame. Linebackers coach Clint Bowen said knowing the opponent has its benefits and knowing the opposing team's personnel is the most crucial factor. Last Saturday's victory against South Dakota was the team's first triumph in more than a year. This week, the team is looking to capture GOAL IS TO REACH NEXT STEPPING STONE the program's first win on the road in four years. Weis described the upcoming game as the second in a series of steps to break the team's losing streaks one by one. Witness the program winning last "For the program, winning last week got the losing streak out of the way," Weis said. "Winning this week would get losing on the road out of the way. Winning three weeks from now against Texas Tech gets the conference win out of the way. These are stepping stones you have to take to go ahead and move up. It is an opportunity to get one of those put aside." it is an oppo- bate of those put aside." Last week's game also provided stepping stones for individual players. Saturday's win was the first playing time for Heaps in about two years and McCav's touchdown holds strong potential. Although McCay hadn't played in a competitive game in years, he can now put the first game aside and focus on the next step. - Edited by Kayla Overbey INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE 125th Session 7-10 September 2013 Buenos Aires Jacques Rogge, right, outgoing president of the International Olympic Committee, points to Thomas Bach of Germany, left, after Bach was elected as the new IOC president during the 125th IOC session in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sept. 10.

ALFIE JOINS DETROIT By Blake Schuster bschuster@kansan.com Since 1994, Daniel Alfredsson has been a member of the Ottawa Senators and a vital one at that. Aside from maintaining the role of captain since 2001, Alfredsson has scored more than 1,000 points for the Senators during the regular season and 100 points in the playoffs. All of that is now behind the Swedish-born winger as a contract dispute during the offseason has landed him with the Detroit Red Wings. Detroit already has a bevy of Swedes and with head coach Mike Babock still running the show, it seems he'll have no problem fitting in. CANUCKS AND RANGERS TRADE COACHES OK, so they didn't make a formal deal, but once both coaches were let go by their respective teams, they switched homes. The alwaysangry John Tortorella, who led Tampa Bay to the Stanley Cup in 2004, left New York after losing control of his locker room and looks to tone it down a bit in Vancouver. Alain Vignault, who has led many talented teams but could never quite bring home the Cup, moved to New York where he hopes to take a talented roster for a deep run in the playoffs. SEGUIN GOES SOUTH Before he won two Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks, Patrick Kane's immaturity on and off the ice led many to wonder if he should be traded. Boston ran into the same issue with young star Tyler Seguin, but unlike Chicago, they traded their top talent to Dallas. It seems the Bruins were done waiting for him to grow up. Boston received, among others, Louis Ericsson in the trade, who may very well replace Seguin without much notice. The real story will be if Seguin's second chance can go his way. Interestingly enough, during last season's lockout Seguin and Kane roomed together while playing abroad. If he needs any advice on growing up, checking in with his former teammate might be a good place to start. WORLD DOMINATION KU After a long debate between the players association and the owners, National Hockey League players will once again be allowed to compete for their home countries during the Olympics. In 2010, Canada emerged victorious at the games in Vancouver when Sidney Crosby scored the overtime winner in the gold medal game against the United States. Four years later, both teams look to be just as good, if The USA team will likely be backstopped by Los Angeles Kings' goalie Jonathan Quick, who led his team to its first Stanley Cup victory in 2012. Conversely, goaltending seems to be the one weakness for the Canadians. Right now the honor is up for grabs with Blackhawks' goaltender Corey Crawford as the favorite. Also in the mix are Mike Smith of the Phoenix Coyotes, Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens and the gold-medal winner in 2010, Roberto Luongo.

Soucie continued to take advantage of her playing time by recording 12 blocks for the match, setting a program record. Souci totaled 12 kills against Arkansas on Saturday and led the team with a .435 attack percentage. "Being able to record 12 blocks is great because it means I'm making improvements," Soucie said. senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc got off to a quick start with six kills in the first 20 points of the match as Kansas erased an early five-point deficit. The Jayhawks hung with the Bluejays for most of the first frame, but Creighton pulled away at the end to secure the set. With a scorching 13 kills and zero errors, the Jayhawks quickly responded to take the second set and tie up the match. In a set that was close starting out, the Jayhawks pulled away to take a six-point lead. Kansas scored the last five points of the set to tie the match at one set apiece. Sophomore outside hitter Tiana Dockery contributed four kills in the set. The Bluejays responded with an 11-3 run to start the third set. The Jayhawks clawed back from an 11-3 deficit against Arkansas on Thursday, Sept. 5, but couldn't find the same magic against the Bluejays. Kansas had just six kills in the set. Seeking to take back momentum, the Jayhawks jumped to an early lead in the fourth set and would go on to lead 16-13. Creighton then went on an 11-4 run to take a commanding 24-20 advantage in the set. Behind a kill from junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers and three attack errors by the Bluejays, the Jayhawks roared back to tie the match at 24-24. Two kills by Albers and one by Dockery erased match points as the two teams went back and forth the rest of the way. At 27-27, Creighton got back-to-back kills to close out the match. The Jayhawks saved an impressive seven match points in the contest. Jarmoe led the way with a teamhigh of 12 kills. Albers and junior outside hitter Sara McClinton, both Nebraska natives, reached double-digit kills with 11 each. Senior libero Brianne Riley had 22 of the team's 64 digs for the match while senior setter Erin McNorton dished out 44 assists.

Truman was the smartest president in U.S. history, Harry Truman included. Even today, his presidency remains controversial — particularly because of his decision to use atomic weapons against Japan to bring a speedy end to World War II VOLLEYBALL PAGE 9 In his address to the National War College on Dec. 19, 1952, President Truman famously said, "It's easy for the Monday morning quarterback to say what the coach should have done, after the game is over. But when the decision is up before you — and on my desk I have a motto which says 'The Buck Stops Here' — the decision has been made... — the decision has been made. you can't pass the buck to anybody." Truman often credited his farm- boy roots for his hard-working, proactive habits. He was early to rise and work. Simply, he got things done when they needed to be done. This Saturday, the Kansas Jay- hawks football team will have a "buck" of sorts sitting before them. A buck that has been passed on to them from teams past; a nine- teen-game road losing streak dating back to 2009. But one thing a lot of people will tell you about Harry Truman is that he was a great leader of people and an even better decision-maker. In times of tribulation, he acted — fast. This is the man who oversaw the Berlin Airlift in 1948 and the creation of NATO in 1949. ROAD BLOCK Let's go. I can't wait for Saturday. The buck needs to stop here, boys. Three days from now, Kansas will be matched up against a potent Owl offense, but an even more exploitable Owl defense... on the road. The 31-14 win on Saturday was a little on the sloppy side, littered with dropped passes and penalties, but a win all the same. It should have helped quell the first-game jitters of the new athletes. If the players board the plane due south not as individuals, but as one unified force with one thing on its itinerary — stop the streak — they'll be greeted by Kansas fans when they get back at 2-0, with a bowl game realistically in sight. Edited by Emma McElhaney Facts are facts: The Jayhawk's last road win was on Sept. 12, 2009, against the UTEP Miners, 34-7. In that game, Kansas held the Miners to 208 total yards, dominating the contest in all facets, from the opening kick to the final whistle. It was an enthralling victory for the program, and the future looked as bright as ever. I'm not saying that this is going to be easy. It never was for Truman. But if there was ever a time for Kansas to turn the corner and change the entire attitude surrounding the program, that time is this Saturday in Houston, Texas, against the Rice Owls. I would have never guessed (even as a high-schooler still relatively new to watching Kansas football) that four years later, as a junior in college, the win in El Paso would still be the last time I saw a Kansas road win. Fast-forward to today. The 27-point victory still stands as the lavhawk's last road win. Since that fateful day in '09, Kansas has allowed an average of 42.6 points per road game and scored only 15.6 points per road game. It's one thing to lose 19 straight road games. It's another to lose 19 straight road games by an average of almost 30 points per game.

McCay scored the first receiving touchdown since Oct. 22, 2011. mgoodwin@kansan.com MAX GOODWIN When the Jayhawks take the field against Rice University on Saturday, it will have been four years since the program's last road win. That game was on Sept. 12, 2009, and ended with a dominant 34-7 victory against the University of Texas at El Paso. The Jayhawks will return to the Lone Star state this weekend in hopes of ending their 19-game road losing streak. The Owls return 18 of 22 starters from a team that came into Lawrence a season ago and won on Kansas faces an experienced team on Saturday that could be further motivated in its home opener. This is a game that will emphasize the role of team captains Jake Heaps, Keon Stowers, will be easy, but it's something that needs to be accomplished if Weis and his team want to prove they are moving in the right direction. "For the program, winning last week got the losing streak out of the way," Weis said. "Winning this week could get the losing on the road out of the way. Winning three weeks from now could get the conference streak out of the way." The Jayhawks took a small step when they ended the 11-game losing streak that followed them into the season, and another one when Justin McCay caught a 9-yard pass from Jake Heaps in the end zone. That catch ended a season-long streak of failures to catch touchdown passes by wide receivers. It will require a bigger step to end the streak of losing road games, which has lasted lon- "Part of the burden falls on them to make sure they're really ready to go at kick-off." Ben Heeney and James Sims. Part of their role is to set the tone for the team come game time. "We've had that conversation," Charlie Weis said in his press conference on Tuesday. "Part of the burden falls on them to make sure they're really ready to go at kick-off. It's different at home, you got the home crowd to get you juiced, you got the band, you got all that stuff." Saturday's crowd likely won't be large or loud. Rice Stadium holds 47,000, but last season the highest number of fans who showed up to a game was 23,105, for the season opener against University of California, Los Angeles. The Owls lost that game, and went 3-3 at home, but all three wins came in a stretch at the end of the season when Rice went 6-1 and scored more than 33 points in each of the six wins. There's no reason to believe that the task of winning in Houston CHARLIE WEIS Coach ger and involves more difficulty. South Dakota was not on the same level as Kansas. The Coyotes also won one game a season ago and they play in the Football Championship Subdivision. The Jayhawks didn't need to worry about defending the pass, which could be seen as an advantage, as South Dakota threw the ball just 18 times and only a few times downfield. Against Rice, Kansas will face quarterback Taylor McHargue, who makes plays with his legs and throws accurate passes downfield. Saturday's road game will be the first true test of the season for the Jayhawks; it's one they will treat as a business trip with the captains in the lead. "There's stepping stones you have to take to move up here," Weis said, "and this gives us an opportunity to get one of those out of the way."

It has transcended in to this season and the leadership style the three senior captains — Alison Moffit, Alison Lusk and Morgan Sharp — hope to bring to this year's team. All three seniors have had very different swimming journeys and bring their respective experiences to leading the team. Lusk, from Chattanooga, Tenn., who started swimming at age six, is a breaststroke swimmer. She swims the 100-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard breaststroke as well as the 100-yard individual medley. Her main motivation is simply to enjoy swimming. "Yes, I want to get better and that's always something every athlete wants to do, but half the time you're not going to get better if you're not enjoying yourself," Lusk said. out her four years at Kansas. "Ali came in from a very good prep school in Chattanooga and accomplished a lot as a young swimmer, and hadn't improved for a little while and she came in and really enjoyed the program. She's now our school record-holder in the 200 breast," Campbell said. Lusk takes her leadership role seriously and is excited to work with the new freshman class and make them feel comfortable on the team. She said it's important to lead by example. Coach Campbell has noticed how much Lusk has improved throughout her four years at Kansas. Chelsie Miller, a freshman on the Kansas Women's Swim Team, prepares to swim in the 500-yard freestyle at a feb. 2 meet against Arkansas inside Robinson Natatorium. Teammates Rebecca Swank and Alison Moffit also swam in this heat "It's up to (Alison) Moffit, Morgan and I to set the standard," Lusk said. "We are trying to make them feel more comfortable right away — [this is] going to be the biggest part to immediately integrating them into the team." Moffit, from Flower Mound, Texas, also believes in finding the fun in swimming. "The most important part about leading our team is to keep us focused on the journey," Moffit said. "The swim season is long 1982 EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN and can so easily become overwhelming if you do not keep the journey in perspective. You just have to take swimming day by day, and have fun with it." Moffit has been swimming since age six and joined a club team at age eight. She is a distance and freestyle swimmer and swims the 500 free, 400 IM and the mile or 1650. Campbell has seen her grow and has noticed her improvement especially in the classroom. men, especially in the classroom. "She was an honor roll student last year and worked her tail off," Campbell said. "She has improved so much, both in the water and, more importantly, in the classroom." Sharp, who is from Houston, Texas, is a freestyle swimmer. "Morgan [Sharp] is our school record-holder in the 500 free. She's done a good job adjusting to the intensity of college swimming," Campbell said. Overall, the captains and coach are excited to bring changes to the team culture. By working through "The Jayhawk Way" and using the / strong leadership of the captains and seniors, they hope to have a permanent impact on the program. "This year is about the cumm. Campbell said.

Theresa Vail, Miss Kansas, takes part in the swimsuit competition during the first night of the Miss America Pageant at Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, N.J. Miss Kansas: a unique pageant contestant FRESHMEN Kansas State University. She's also a member of the Army National Guard who wants to become a military dentist. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Miss Kansas Theresa Vail says she wants to break the stereotype that women with visible tattoos don't compete in pageants. Students elect new freshmen senators The Miss America pageant is back in Atlantic City, N.J., after a six-year absence. The finale will be Sunday night. So during the swimsuit portion of the Miss America competition on Tuesday, Vail revealed two tattoos — the Serenity Prayer on her right side and the insignia of the U.S. Army Dental Corps on her left shoulder. ASSOCIATED PRESS Her platform is helping women overcome stereotypes and break barriers. Given her platform, she wrote on her blog last month: "What a hypocrite I would be if I covered the ink." The large number of students running for Student Senate was in part due to the Student Senate Executive Staff's diligent work to recruit fresh Five new freshman senators were elected to serve in the University Student Senate on Wednesday. Stephon Alcorn, Mary Sniezek, Maddi Duncan, Jake Noveff and TJ Blake were voted into office out of 27 freshmen who campaigned to fill five seats. man candidates during the summer and beginning of the fall semester, said Tyler Childress, chief of staff for the Student Senate. student senators are expected to advocate for the students they represent, reach out to their assigned organizations and positively promote the Student Senate to the rest of the student body, Childress said. "We have tried to continue to expand the impact and frequency of student voices," Childress said. which meant that they asked fresh- men voters to vote for their team of candidates. Alcorn said. Vail is a 22-year-old senior at Childress said he commended the efforts of the freshman class and the Student Senate to work toward a more inclusive program. Alcorn, Sniezek, Duncan and Novicoff decided to "run together," "Our primary method of campaigning was a lot of face-to-face human contact." Alcorn said. Jennifer Salva Alcorn said that he is excited to get involved and start making his mark on Student Senate. STUDENT SENATE Resolution to Wetlands bill amended, passed Five bills were presented, discussed and passed at last night's first full Student Senate meeting. however, most of the discussion was spent on a resolution regarding a decision the University made to give land to the Kansas Department of Transportation (KOOT) for the construction of the South Lawrence Trafficway. The resolution was created because students weren't consulted in the decision, thus violating a Student Senate code. It also states that the decision "will have a lasting and damaging environmental, educational, and cultural impact on the Wetlands and University community." KDOT plans to construct the South Lawrence Trafficway which will run directly through the Wakarusa Wetlands. The debate resulted partly from the two different motives of the resolution and partly because, as brought up by Senator Zach George, many of the people in the room were new to Senate and not familiar with all the facts. George said that because the resolution addressed two things — the code and the Trafficway project — it He amended the resolution to exclude clauses that provided a stance on the project itself. wasn't good governing to pass the resolution as is. "I think I have to be satisfied with it," Savoy said, "because it represented the voice of the body and that's what I was trying to convey and represent." After more than an hour of debate, the resolution passed as amended 28-24 with one senator abstaining. Mark Savoy, who presented the bill, said the bill was important to promote the student voice. Kaitlyn Klein POLITICS Anthony Weiner's political comeback runs out of steam ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Anthony Weiner's ill-fated mayoral campaign ended with a string of final embarrassments: He mustered a mere 5 percent at the ballot box. One of his sexting partners tried to crash his primary night rally. And Weiner was caught making an obscene gesture to reporters as he was driven away. Outside a "victory" party where supporters mourned a disappointing fifth-place finish in the Democratic primary, cameras crowded around Sydney Leathers, the 23-year-old whose sexting with the former congressman brought his once-high-flying campaign to a screeching halt. screaming him. "Why not be here?" Leathers asked reporters. "I'm kind of the reason he's losing. So, might as well show up." Another politician with a sex scandal, Eliot Spitzer, lost the Democratic primary contest for city comproller to Scott Stringer, the Manhattan borough president. Stringer took 52 percent of the vote to Spitzer's 48 percent. Spitzer resigned as governor in 2008 and admitted he paid for sex with call girls. In exile, he bounced around television as a pundit. Then, just four days before the deadline, he announced he was running for comptroller. On the final campaign day for "I'm kind of the reason he's losing. So, might as well show up." both men, the spotlight fell heavily on Weiner. His staff sneaked him into his own event, presumably to avoid Leathers, who had camped outside his headquarters If it's not going to be me, it is going to be some other girl."

A all day hoping to confront him. His wife, Huma Abedin, who stood by his side at the height of the scandal, was nowhere to be seen. At one point, one of Weiner's supporters scolded Leathers, saying: "You must really be ashamed!" Leathers, who has launched a porn career since the scandal broke, said Weiner needed "to stop being an embarrassment to the city of New York. He's going to continue this behavior.

Weiner had been in political exile since he resigned from Congress in 2011 for sending women lewd online messages and pictures. He got into the mayor's race in May, and aside from a few dust-ups with hecklers, was largely well-received at first, holding the lead for most of June and July. but after an obscure gossip website named The Dirty released X-rated exchanges between Weiner and Leathers that took place well after the candidate quit the House of Representatives, Weiner — and his sexting pseudonym, Carlos Danger — once again became a national punchline. With 98 percent of precincts reporting Wednesday morning, Weiner was far behind in the city's Democratic mayoral pr:mary.

According to Apple, the iPhone 5S is up to twice as fast as the iPhone 4 and 5 due to its new processor and iOS capabilities.

The phone will be $199 for the 16GB model, $299 for the 32GB and $399 for the 64GB, with a two-year contract. Without a contract, the starting price for an unlocked 5S will be $649. "In my opinion, the selling point of the 5S is the addition of the fingerprint scanner and the new processor. The A7 chip probably feels way faster than the 5," Gregory Leung, a junior from Hong Kong, said. Leung did not expect to get the iPhone 5S right away, but he "...the selling point of the 5S is the addition of the fingerprint scanner and the new processor." The iPhone 5S also received a camera upgrade that adds features such as burst mode, improved dual LED-based flash and slow motion.

While there is much speculation as to what the "C" means, it definitely don't stand for cheap; an unlocked no-contract version of the phone will start at $549, according to Apple. It does not contain many of the key features of the iPhone 5S but is available in five colors: green, blue, yellow, pink and white. "The 5C is kind of dumb, since all you are paying for is really just an iPhone 5 with color," Karynn Glover, a sophomore from Olathe, said about the unveiling. Glover claimed that she is much more excited about iOS 7, the new operating system that will be released on September 18.

The San Francisco-based company compiled an aggregate score of their users' results in games considered to be brain training, using their geolocation to track their position. The rankings were based off of five determinants: Speed, Attention, Flexibility, Memory and Problem Solving. Of the five categories, Lawrence ranked eighth in attention but only 35 in memory, their lowest rank- "The games are derived from components of an intelligence test," said Susan Kemper, a Roberts distinguished professor of psychology at the University. "They take what's already out there on these tests, and turn them into games." According to the company's website, the games reflect user intelligence, but are also designed to improve core cognitive functions among its users. "KU has some of the best academic programs and professors anywhere." JARED WARREN Wichita senior Lawrence saw a significant rise in the rankings in 2013, after not placing in the Top 25 last year. In general, college towns across the nation were well-represented in the list, as the Top 10 was entirely composed of cities that are centrally located around a major university. Kemper says this is a result of more awareness and concern for brain upkeep in these areas. "I feel like Lawrence definitely deserves a place among the smartest cities in the nation," Jared Warren, a senior from Wichita, said. "KU has some of the best academic programs and professors anywhere." "Students are very worried about staying ahead, always looking "or the edge," Kemper said. "College towns also bring many other people that are concerned about cognitive performance, and have an increased overall awareness of the effects of aging on cognition." Lawrence was one of four cities in Kansas to appear on the list, with Topeka ranking 96, Wichita appearing at 211, and Salina at 338.

KeepNaismithDirty it'd be really cool if there was a loose bear on campus that we always had to be wary of. I wanna start a blog called badbeards.wordpress.com for all the dudes in my English class. Let's be honest, we've all thought about stealing the Bazinga cardboard cutout from that store on Mass Street. I think it's been like two years since I've eaten vegetables. I miss my parents. I made myself dinner last week and I think I can now safely say that I didn't give myself food poisoning. Subway sucks. KU is gonna be on Rice like white on rice. Wait, what? Gucci Mane 4 Secretary of State My TA is a child. I like trap music, but I also like reading. Libraries are for reading and misery, not sexy fun HUMAN There are only a few times I think it's OK to be loud in the library: if you're Nicolas Cage in National Treasure, if you're having a heart attack or if you're reading a book on the history of yelling and you're a kinesthetic learner. Outside of those very specific scenarios, don't say a word or even make a sound. This may seem petty. This may seem nitpicky. In the context of my other columns, it's downright silly. But this is getting seriously annoying, guys. I knew the time had come when I watched a bumbling frat boy drop a volume of Japanese vocabulary off the balcony in Watson. I guessed he was flirting with some totally hot babes down on the floor below but I can't be sure. Flirtation by bombardment? I really don't understand the dating game. game. The library isn't an extension of your sweat cave. It's not a place to find your hookup or connect with your soul mate. The library is not where you test out the Kama Sutra (although numerous copies are conveniently nearby). It's like so exciting to make out in the stacks though! Right, I don't care. It's time to come down hard on this issue before it grows into something we can't control. Messing around in the library is an oxymoron. For anyone without a librarian fetish, it's one of the least sexy places ever. The whole building smells like a used bookstore and your grandma's coat closet. The only, By Wil Kenney wkenney@kansan.com and I mean only, exciting thing about it is the rush of being seen. I learned the hard way that some of campus' more restless exhibitionists decided that the library would host their next get together. It's hard to dig in and settle into study mode when someone's moaning three aisles over. If that's really your thing, go fool around on Wescoe. You could even try the middle of the street. There's the added adrenaline rush of having to dodge passing cars. or having to upgrade I know I'm coming off as harsh because that's my intention. It's only a month into the semester and I've already been driven out of the library four times by the volume alone. The cacophony of shushes that follows any freshman girl's outburst of giggling is almost as criminally obnoxious as the laughing itself. It's like there's a swarm of cicadas underneath the tables. Speaking of which, there was a massive hornet in the lobby of Watson the other day. Somebody should do something about that. Instead of just whining about problems all day, I've come up with some healthy alternatives for all of you bubbly group-studiers. For one, the big signs with "Group Study" on them? Stay behind those. Sometimes those are full though. I know, it sure is tough to find a place where your friends are nearby, there's a place to spread out, and all within walking distance. Wait, that's pretty much your dorm room and/or house. So stay there. If you're planning on gossiping and throwing things at each other, don't come to the library. If you're planning on ordering a pizza and can't handle cheese well, don't fart loudly and repeatedly on my time. If you're planning on doing anything but quietly studying and occasionally printing something off, just stay home. Spare the rest of us from your piercing, squeaky giggles.

SOCIETY Americans: stop judging others and begin improving yourselves Maybe it's because of advancements in technology - video games are more real now than ever before - or maybe it's the lewd conduct being shown, and therefore thought to be condoned, on television. Or maybe it's the fact that high-profile trials seem to defy judicial odds - a mother with evidence stacked in favor of her killing her child is acquitted, and not much later, a man murders a teenager in "self-defense" and faces no legal penalty. To me, it seems America's moral might be misguided Now I'm a proud believer that America is the greatest country on earth, but I don't let that cloud my thinking. Honestly, I feel like what I formerly thought of as taboo and a "no-no" is now the standard of "American" behavior, portrayed in our culture and propagated by the media. I fear I live in a culture that takes pictures of lewd acts and encourages them, instead of taking responsibility and calling the police. I fear I live in a culture that seeks approval in the acronym "YOLO" and tests the boundaries of death because of it; "Dude, I'm going to get drunker than I've ever been before and black out. YOLO!" By Bryenn Bierwirth bbierwirth@kansan.com I fear I live in a culture that supposedly recognizes women's rights, but doesn't treat them as equal (which apparently makes me a feminist, because anyone who stands up for women is naturally one, right?) I fear I live in a culture where "shock and awe" are synonymous with "desensitized and boring." Obscene behavior is becoming front-line news and now it's America's expectation. Whether or not you agree with these people's actions is irrelevant, because the damage is already done. There's always a sordid story about [insert celebrity name] being caught with drugs, guns and five strippers; did we mention [insert celebrity name] is married? It's being funneled through the public media for public consumption, and we'll demand more like hungry dogs. And if we don't demand well, we too bad, this is what you're going to get: shocking news about lewd behavior and scandal. We're just dogs and they're throwing us a bone. Is this really what we crave? Wed rather hear about how our favorite celebrity's moral character is corrupted rather than pay attention to world issues? Am I un-American for writing that I disagree with them? I hope not, at least those aren't my intentions. my intentions are, first, to tell you that no one is perfect, especially celebrities. They live lives that many of us aren't familiar with, so we can only speculate on why they have moments of incivility. Second, don't let companies, celebrities, "norms," television, movies, etc. tilt your morals and values. Stick by what feels right, not what other people want you to do, or not do. I like many of you. I like to tell my friends and family about unbelievable stories that I either witnessed or read about. But we shouldn't rely on such stories to make our lives more interesting or have more depth. It's up to us to create our own stories. Lastly, I'm sick of older people telling me "my generation is doomed, because we're a bunch of degenerates who have no respect for anything." Now, there are many things wrong with this, but I'll only address one of the issues that relates to my point: when we're older and looking at the generation after us, do we want to be saying the exact same thing we're being told now, or do we want to be the ones who lead by example and reclaim America's dignity? It's time we stop hitting the snooze button on our moral clock and awaken to the same morals and values that we preach.

RELATIONSHIPS Follow us on Twitter @KansanOpinion. Tweet us your opinions, and we just might publish them. Parental relations need to mature in college It's time to talk about the activity some of us dread, and others relish. No, not discussing KU football, but calling our parents. parents: Calling our parents just to ask for money is tacky, demeaning and common amongst our age demographic. I admit, during my freshman year, I only really called when I needed access to my own money. Definitely not ideal. Since then, I've gained more financial independence by managing my rent payments, groceries and bills. This, in my opinion, helped my relationship with my parents. Now, they know I am not calling about financial woes, but to genuinely talk about this semester's classes, people who are currently irritating me and the state of my ambiguously-existent social life Throughout high school, and to this day, my parents would become stubborn about an issue, and grind it like coffee in a French press. It made the relationship touchy and delicate. For example, my mom didn't agree with my decision to not serve as a resident assistant again. But I agreed to cover the cost of my living expenses, and the argument finally settled over a tense spring, where I was constantly reminded of my poor decision. Being away from my parents really helped my relationship with them. It sounds counterintuitive, but being apart, at times, can really help. Exercising agency and making mistakes really allowed me to foster the relationship. My parents are finally starting to view me as an adult, and more as a peer rather than a dependent, leaching parasite. becoming parents. Honestly, I think other students should also review their relationships with their parents while in college. Maybe you fought constantly in the past. Maybe you still don't agree with your parents' social or political values. But college is the place to mature and develop, and this means delving into deeper, more meaningful relationships with our parents. You're probably rolling your eyes right now, unless you're my parents (in which case you are thinking, "Anrenee, you are NOT our peer!"). Nobody's time here is infinite, and you'll probably regret not strengthening your bond with By Anrenee Reasor areasor@kansan.com your parents someday. It's time to grow up and (gasp)b friend your mom and dad. To the people who call their parents multiple times a day, I have a similar message: grow up. As an RA and camp counselor, I met a plethora of students who failed to self-advocate even in basic situations. They called their parents constantly to ask about microwaving food, complain about the heat, or lack thereof, in their room, and voice concerns about their roommate's habits. Their helicopter parents hovered over them even while hundreds of miles away. I admire their parents' willingness to help and their genuine concern, but they are almost doing their children a disservice. If you call your parents frequently to ask arbitrary questions, you need to discover Google also has answers on how to do laundry, reheat food and clean an overdye shower. Advocate for yourself and realize your parents will not always be at your beck and call to help resolve the next crisis. Don't make your parents call and berate Student Housing on your behalf, file your own facilities request. If you're having roommate problems, talk to your roommate. Ask your mom or dad for advice, but in the end, do something about it yourself. Passively complaining may serve as a coping mechanism, but actively changing your own life is necessary in today's time. College is a time of growth, expansion and other vague transformations. It's time for us to repair or evolve our parental relationships, or time to shift into becoming independent, problem-solving individuals. Adjust your decisions depending on which category you fit into, but if you don't know...maybe your Mom does, and you should give her a call. Or maybe you need to think about it more and answer this one on your own. Anrenee Reasor is a junior majoring in economics and EALC from Thayer.

If you've been to the KU Bookstore at the Kansas Union this week, you likely noticed a lot of activity. On September 2, the KU Bookstore began work on a major renovation. We sat down with Estella McCollum, KU Bookstore Director, to see what was up. Why are you renovating the main Bookstore? It was time. The Kansas Union renovation should result in an updated look that will provide our customers with a great shopping experience. How did you decide on the design? We worked with Sabatini Architects to come up with the store look and feel, counter designs, lighting, signage, and color scheme. It's a very bright and open design. How is the renovation progressing? We are right on schedule to be completed by November 15th. Bruner Construction has been great to work with and is progressing quickly on the project. *Any snags so far!* No snacks. There was a lot of noise when they removed the original flooring! The new carpet will be installed soon, and the end result will be worth it. What changes can we look for once it's completed? We're excited about our new Tech Shop, Art & School Supplies Shop, Textbook Service counter, and more. It's a great new layout too. Any tips for customers as the renovation progresses? The north entry into the Union Bookstore is currently blocked off, but there's still easy access into the store at the main stairwell. New merchandise is arriving daily, and we've marked down some great items to make room for the renovation. There are a lot of good buys in the store right now. Anything else? As a local, non-profit store that has supported the KU Campus since 1946, we are excited to share the new features with the very customers that make the 100+ student jobs and store updates possible. Okay, it sounds like there are a lot of good reasons to shop the KU Bookstores. We'll see you at the U!

Some people become adults before they turn 18, others after, giving weight to the saying "age is only a number." Responsibility is what seems to be behind the reality of being an adult. "Our parents aren't really there to do everything for us anymore," he said. "We have to go out into the world and explore it for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes." Independence and responsibility, not age, help define maturity Being an 18-year-old, you are legally considered an adult. But not everyone feels like that is the true age of maturity. ing all adult. Asad Morani, a freshman from Overland Park, said that although he is 18, he does not feel as mature as an adult. ADULTHOOD For Bethany McMillen, a junior from Manassas, Va., the age marks the beginning of a transition. sociated with adulthood or the transition to adulthood are things like living independently, having a child, getting married or having a partner, and having a job," she said. "I think those things are probably the main factors that are looked at in what's called the 'transition to adulthood'" "We have to go out into the world and explore it for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes." MEGHAN KETCHAM mketcham@kansan.com While your legal identity of adulthood begins at 18, maturity plays a role in the mentality of being an adult. said it is one of the main indicators of adulthood. At the age of 21, Americans are legally able to purchase and consume alcohol, which is a symbol of even more responsibility. Rauscher "Those who are legally able to drink might see it as a status marker of adulthood," she said. "I had to start paying for car insurance, my apartment, and gas," McMillen said. "She's easing me into adulthood and it's kind of scary." Adulthood is a process rather than an age, with responsibility as its catalyst. It comes at different times and is different for every person. While the indicators of being an adult are arguable, adulthood seems to be focused around responsibility. "I think that you are officially an adult at 21 because you can buy alcohol," she said. "All the responsibilities you had when you were 18 are continued and more are added." McMillen said being 21 gives many young people a real feeling of being an adult because the ability to purchase alcohol creates an expectation to be more responsible. McMillen's mother began giving her more responsibility when she turned 22. WANT ENTERTAINMENT UPDATES ALL DAY LONG?

When looking for ways to make ends meet next year, don't overlook scholarships that don't require essays or fantastic Grade-Point Averages. For example, this last year, the U.S. Bank Scholarship Program gave out 40 $1,000 scholarships to students for simply being a U.S. citizen enrolled in a university. The application can be found online and takes less than an hour to complete. Another hassle-free scholarship opportunity is the monthly $2,000 "No Essay" scholarship offered by College Prowler. This scholarship is open to all students and the only requirement is registering for a free account. High school students, college students and even graduate students can apply every month. ScholarshipZone gives out $10,000 each month. The application takes less than two minutes and the only requirement is that you are 18, a U.S. Citizen and enrolled at a university. Even though these scholarships require registration on their website, it seems like something easy to do for free money. college students. It takes less than 10 minutes to apply, but requires a two to three sentence response to a question of the week. The response is limited to 280 characters, which is basically two tweets. Students can apply every week. free money Zinch.com gives out $1,000 weekly to high school seniors and "As lazy college students, we often just forget that scholarship money is money we can receive from filling out a form." JANAE GAGNON Hays freshman ing why they deserve the scholarship. If the story receives 50 online votes, the applicant can submit a Student winners must be between 18 and 24, and submit a short story illustrat- vueo, which Dr Pepper will use to select finalists to compete for up to $100,000. The top five finalists on the “Dr Pepper Leaderboard” could win $10,000. Dr Pepper is also giving away $1,000 a day for following @DrPepper on Twitter and using the hashtag #DrPepper-Tuition to explain your use for the money. The pressure of finding ways to pay for college often becomes less of a priority after students graduate high school, but the expenses don't stop after your freshman year. There are many opportunities to help ease the increasing financial burden, if you make it a priority. "I'm willing to do anything that will help me pay for school. I think, as lazy college students, we often forget that scholarship money is money we can receive from filling out a form. You don't even have to really work for it," said Janae Gagnon a freshman from Hays. For some, it may be tough to get motivated, but in the end scholarship money can lighten the tuition load. "Scholarships are important even while enrolled in college because they help alleviate some financial burden from parents and students. They also motivate students to do well and stay involved in college life and the community," said Crissy Ryun a sophomore from De Soto. "The best advice I can give is to not give up." Take twenty minutes out of your day and submit a few applications. The money is there and it will be given away no matter what. Aren't you deserving? FINANCE Edited by Heather Nelson I YU KYUNG LEE Policy may change student loan requirements ylee@kansan.com College is expensive — at least it is for Audrey Shamet. Even with grants and scholarships, Shamet, a first-year pharmacy student from Shawnee, finds herself starting pharmacy school almost $40,000 in debt with the federal loans she took to pay for her first four years in college. With the ever-increasing cost of higher education, many like Shamet are forced to take on student loans to help pay for college. In the 2012 school year, about 63 percent of the University's undergraduate students filed for need-based aid, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. Students don't have to pay back federal loans until after they graduate, and Shamet is definitely counting on having her pharmacist degree to pay for her loans. Some students, however, might find themselves having to repay their loans earlier than expected. Federal policy requires that all non-graduate school students receiving federal loans be enrolled in at least six credit hours. Graduate school students are required to take at least five credit hours. When students fall below the limit by dropping or failing a class, they may have to repay part or all of their student loans received for the term. A new policy approved by the University's Financial Aid and Scholarship office will enforce this regulation by monitoring students with federal loans and requiring anyone who falls below the credit hour minimum to provide a Documentation of Attendance to the FAS office, which will determine if the student had participated in the "I think their fear is that they give money to students who don't attend and therefore just take the money and don't apply the money to what is loaned to them for," said Howard Graham, the associate course, dropped or failed. "...if the school is going to give you money, I think you need to prove to them that you are actually using it for class."

"The government is helping provide financial assistance to attend college, and attendance at college Old assignments and exams with student names and dates can be submitted by instructors or students to prove involvement in The new policy is not a radical development, but an obvious one that students agree with. means, most importantly, attending the classes that you take in college." classes. If the student cannot prove participation, FAS will determine how much of the federal loans the student must repay. "Basically if the school is going to give you money, I think you need to prove to them that you are actually using it for class, for your academics," Shamet said. For Shamet, meeting the six credit hour requirement is not a problem. She is committed to completing her education and expects other students getting federal loans to do the same. "I think you need to prove that you are going to classes and that you are going to graduate to be able to pay back those loans," Shamet said. Only 5.5 percent of University students who graduated after taking out federal loans failed to pay back that loan on time in 2010. This is considered low. Nationally 9. 1 percent of students defaulted on their federal loans within two years, according to the US Department of Education. This new policy will help the University adhere to the federal policy and add greater pressure on students to commit to their classes. "That might be good for accountability, if students have to come up with documentation," said Matt Bevins, a senior from Toppea. "If they can't, losing a loan, that could be for solving our loan problem in the country, making sure students get through college." QR code FAS and University students and faculty will have to wait to see the full effect of the policy, but the message of the policy is clear: attendance matters. "Unequivocally, absolutely, 110 percent, class attendance is the most vital component of attending college." Graham said. "That is separate from trying to understand the government's reasoning."

We realized that day, as a nation we are vulnerable, but as a people we are strong. tchell It is in the spirit of that strength and resilience that Tonya Evans founded the Goldstar11 tour. Evans was in New York City when she decided to remind the people of the U.S. of their "responsibility as a nation to not forget those men and women that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms." 832. 8228 The tour, which is free to the public, kicked off on Aug. 31 in Fort Myers, Fla., and visits 16 cities and 11 states before arriving at its final location, Salt Lake City, on Oct. 7. The American Fallen Warrior Memorial Foundation is sponsoring Goldstar11 and all donations will go toward raising awareness and funding a new memorial in Kansas City, Kan. "We just wanted to bring hope and healing to those people that are unable to make it to Ground Zero in New York City and pay their respects," Evans said. Evans hopes to accomplish this by giving people a chance to be in the presence of two historic 9/11 The chance to be in the presence of these artifacts is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should not be passed up." TONYA EVANS Goldstar11 founder artifacts that were pulled from the wreckage of the Trade Centers after the attack. Both artifacts will find permanent homes following the completion of the project. Minus some slight cleaning, the sections of concrete, named "Star11" and "UT6," are in the same condition they were as they were pulled from Ground Zero. "Star11" will reside in the new memorial in Kansas City. "UT6" will find its permanent home in Salt Lake City at the Fort Douglas Military Museum. Marketing the tour was easy. Hawkins "The story tells itself, these artificets are a part of history," said Jim Potoski, Goldstar11 public relations director. "We didn't have to do a whole lot of traditional advertising because people were already excited to come out and show their support." Lawrence residents will have a chance to support the cause when the convoy comes through Lawrence and makes its final Kansas stop at the Dole Institute of Politics at 3 p.m. this Friday. Being a Lawrance native and having founded the project here in town, Evans thought it appropriate to cap off the Kansas portion of the tour here. The event is packed with musical entertainment, celebrity appearances and visits from veterans and families. Evans and Potoski hope that Lawrence citizens will come out and show their support by participating and donating to the cause. Anyone that is unable to participate on Friday can also show his or her support by going to afwmf.org/goldstar11 and clicking the red donate tab. "The chance to be in the presence of these artifacts is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should not be passed up," Evans said. Edited by Jessica Mitchell REGIONAL C. M. WILLIAMS Kansas to provide help to disabled residents quicker than planned ASSOCIATED PRESS TOPEKA — Kansas will move more quickly than it had planned to provide hundreds of disabled residents with in-home services that help them live as independently as possible, Gov. Sam. ownback announced Wednesday. Brownback said his administration is immediately releasing $37 million that was set aside by legislators to address the waiting lists for services such as help with chores and personal assistants. The money, to be spent over the next two years, will come from savings from an overhaul of the state's Medicaid program, which covers health care for the needy and disabled. by 13 percent. The state was paying for in-home services for about 8,400 developmentally disabled residents and 5,700 physically disabled residents as of mid-August. Nearly 3,000 developmentally disabled and about 2,000 physically disabled Kansas residents were on waiting lists. Officials now expect 250 developmentally disabled and 400 physically disabled people to be removed from the waiting lists, shrinking the lists The governor's announcement highlighted a behind-the-scenes discussion among administration officials and advocates for the disabled about whether the state had to wait until January to release the funds under the budget approved by lawmakers. The legislation said the money couldn't be spent if services for the developmentally disabled weren't included in the Medicaid overhaul. That won't formally occur until January, though the policy already is set. Brownback said Kansas officials are now confident enough that federal officials will sign off on the change to move forward with reducing the waiting lists. Federal officials must consent because Medicaid is jointly funded by states and the federal government. would provide better-coordinated health care at lower costs. "We're beginning this early," Brownback said. "It's my effort and desire that we get those waiting lists pulled down as rapidly as we can." Kansas turned over the administration of most of its $3 billion-a-year Medicaid program over to three private health insurance companies in January, contending it Gov. Sam Brownback, left, discusses plans to move more quickly than anticipated to eliminate waiting lists for disabled Kansans seeking in-home services during a news conference Wednesday at the Statehouse in Topeka. Watching to the right is Lt. Gov. Jeff Colver. Advocates for the developmentally disabled resisted — skeptical of how theyd be treated by for-profit companies — and the state excluded them from the overhaul until next year. The overhauled Medicalaid program, renamed KanCare, covers about 342,000 Kansas residents. ASSOCIATED PRESS Brownback proposed in May that the state shift its expected "KanCare dividend" to the waiting lists for inhome services for the disabled, but legislators made it contingent on ending the "carve out" for the developmentally disabled. Last month, officials with InterHab, which represents groups providing services to the developmentally disabled, sent Brownback a letter, pressing him to have the funds released immediately. The letter said "state agency officials" were saying the money wouldn't be released until early next year. "We're just glad they took another look at it," said Tom Laing, Inter-Hab's executive director. And Rocky Nichols, executive director of the Disability Rights Center of Kansas, said: "Sooner is Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, obviously better than later, and so we're glad they're releasing the dollars sooner." said the Republican governor's announcement Wednesday was "a political statement," adding, "They wanted to make themselves look good." But Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer said the administration is simply trying to help some of the state's most vulnerable residents.

The final score would have been inflated and Kansas might not be the six-point underdogs to 'Rice on Saturday. Fortunately for fans and his team alike, Weis was looking ahead to this weekend and beyond. With a new quarterback and a receiving corps that didn't catch a touchdown pass all of last season, he tried getting the passing game going against an overmatched South Dakota defense. Unfortunately, that isn't how things unfolded. Quarterback Jake Heaps' first seven passes were incomplete and he finished 10-for-20 on the game, a potential reminder to last season's passing struggles under Dayne Crist. On Tuesday at his weekly press conference, Weis was quick to say the performance was better than any game last season, and he was right. Well, partially. Heaps can hit a moving target and looks like a competent quarterback, putting him a few steps ahead of Crist already. But the receivers were still dropping passes like it was the cool thing to do, missing a few perfectly thrown balls from Heaps that would have been big gains. "Usually it's the K-Mart special," Weis said when asked if he has any motivational tactics for such mistakes. "They're selling hands, why don't you go buy a pair?" It might not be so funny after Saturday against Rice, whose two best players, according to Weis, are cornerbacks Bryce Callahan and Phillip Gaines. Callahan leads the country with an average of 0.38 interceptions per game for his career and Gaines was Conference-USAs Preason Defensive Player of the Year after finishing second in the country last season with 18 pass breakups. The Rice coaching staff won't be afraid to load up players near the line of scrimmage to stop the dangerous Kansas running game while Callahan and Gaines lock up receivers in 1-on-1 coverage, at least until those receivers prove their hands aren't made from stone. It's a matchup that could foreshadow the rest of the season, because we saw last year that a great running game doesn't translate to a victory on its own. We will see on Saturday if they have K-Marts in Houston. Edited by Hannah Barling KANSAS 98 MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN.

Nancy Ramsey of Sports Illustrated. FACT OF THE DAY Mike Piazza went on to become the all-time leading home run hitter for Major League catchers with 427. TRIVIA OF THE DAY --- Q. Who went on to win the National League East in 2001? A: Atlanta Braves --- THE MORNING BREW A swing to heal a wound A day after the 12th anniversary of 9/11, the memory still stands strong in our hearts. The memory strong in our hearts. The memory of loved ones lost, heroes fallen and a collective resilience amongst American people. The Major League Baseball season was nearing the close of the 2001 season when tragedy struck. The season was halted and didn't return for 10 long days. Over that stretch the two big league parks in New York, Shea and Yankee Stadiums took on a much larger role. They became shelters, storage facilities and meeting areas. Aid shipments were sent to these stadiums and city officials used them for numerous things during the cleanup effort; they became much more than just sporting venues. By Ben Felderstein bfelderstein@kansan.com On Sept. 21, 2001, baseball returned. The first game after the tragedy was between the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves at Shea Stadium. This game was a lot more than just another important game in a pennant race. This game gave America the opportunity to return back to normalcy. Baseball represents the country's solidarity and resilience. That game being played showed that this country was strong, that we weren't going to back down, that when we get knocked down, we as Americans, get right back up. Being from New York, I had the pleasure of attending this game as a young child. This was truly one of the most emotional days of my entire life. When Diana Ross started things off singing "God Bless America," backed by a choir from Harlem and brought the entire stadium, including the players, to tears, I knew we were due for a magical evening. Instead of the Mets usual overlapping "NY" logo on their hats, they wore NYPD and FDNY caps to show their respect and admiration for the brave heroes of New York. Everyone in the crowd spent nearly the entire game waving American flags and holding patriotic signs in the air. Trailing the Braves 2-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning, Mets' second baseman, Edgardo Alfonzo, was intentionally walked to bring Mike Piazza to the plate. There was one out and Piazza was a double play waiting to happen. But double plays were not the only thing that Piazza was known for hitting. KU Braves pitcher and New York native, Steve Karsay shook off the first couple signs from catcher Javie Lopez until they agreed on the right 0-1 pitch to throw to Piazza, a fastball. Piazza took a hellacious cut and drove the heater to deep center field. Center fielder Andruw Jones could only turn and watch as the ball flew right over head, almost as if he were admiring the shot. Perhaps he knew that that home run meant more to the game. For that moment Jones was just another one of the 56,000 fans in attendance, waiting and hoping the ball would carry out of the park and lift the spirits of millions nationwide. Once Piazza made contact, everyone watching knew it was gone. The stadium erupted. Grown men were in tears, random strangers were hugging and it seemed as if everything else had been paused, allowing the world to celebrate and be happy again. Camera shots of those in the crowd appeared on the screen, catching a smile come across the face of a New York City firefighter. major league baseball history. The Mets went on to win what became arguably the greatest sentimental victory in league history. This was a victory that all of America could celebrate. Piazza's home run has been given a multitude of nicknames such as, "A swing to heal a wound." such as, a swing to hear a voice. There was no better man to put all of America's weight on his shoulders than Piazza. Nancy Ramsey of Sports Illustrated writes, "When Mike Piazza homers in the first game played in New York after 9/11, the raucous cheering of the crowd shows how much baseball helped inch the city toward normalcy." This home run, this game, these players had given America hope again.

Clint Barnes homered and drew a bases-loaded walk as the Pirates completed a threepoint series sweep in an interleague matchup of wild-card leaders with a 7-5 victory Wednesday over the slumping Texas Rangers. They finished 15-5 overall during the regular season against AL teams. "You see how close this race is, so that's the way we've been taking it every day." "Barmes said. "And I don't see that changing." The Pirates (84-61), who ensured their first winning season since 1992 with a victory in the opener at Texas, finished the series with their ninth consecutive interleague road victory. they were overall during the regular season against AL teams. "That's a big-time record," manager Clint Hurdle said. "They're challenging because they're like pop quizzes. You got to watch video and maybe you've seen them. I had a little history here with a few of the hitters. It's just been the way we've been able to show up." After being swept in three games at St. Louis last weekend, the Pirates moved within a halfgame of the NL Central-leading Cardinals, who hosted Milwaukee on Wednesday night. "The thing I'm most impressed with is our consistency, our focus and our preparation." Hurdle said. "It doesn't waver. We didn't come here with sweep on our mind. We came in here to win the first game." Texas (81-64) has dropped nine of its last 12 games, a stretch in which the Rangers have lost four consecutive series. They have gone from a three-game lead in the AL West to $2 \frac{1}{2} $ behind Oakland before the Athletics played at Minnesota on Wednesday night. Oakland also plays the Twins on Thursday, when the Rangers have their last scheduled day off, before a three-game weekend series in Texas between the AL West's top two teams. "We'll be fine," second baseman Ian Kinsler said. "We've got an off day and then come back ready to play. It's all we can do." KANSANCLASSIFIEDS HOME housing SALE announcements for sale ...

Weis knows his team has a chance to get talked to about a discouraging losing streak. "Winning this week could get losing on the road out the way," Weis said. "And winning in three weeks against Texas Tech could get the conference losing streak out of the way. So this, this just gives us an opportunity to put one of those aside." Kansas, who saw multiple leads crumble last year - including games against Texas Tech, Northern Illinois and Texas where they had viable opportunities to close out the game - knows how one game can write a different script for the rest of the year. Weis has emphasized winning ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN and winning alone can cure the transition for the Kansas program. The Jayhawks have a chance to validate that claim when they face Rice. Weis, however, doesn't treat the Rice game as a one-game agenda or latch any type of revenge to this game. Instead, he chalks it up as another one in the process of cultivating a winning culture. "I don't talk about revenge for what they did because we were the ones that bleit it. Weis said." Keon Stowers, along with Heeney, is the other defensive captain of the team who also knows the severity level of this game and knows that everything changes with a win on Saturday. "This is another step in the maturation process of our team," Stowers said. "If you want to be a factor you have to win on the road, there's no excuses, this is a must-win game." — Edited by Hannah Barline Jayhawks hope for lucky season after eight-day training in Ireland ANDREW CRISTAL acristal@kansan.com The women's golf team geared up for its 2013-14 season by practicing in Ireland.

Worthy (27) during the first half of Saturday's game in Manhattan. ASSOCIATED PRESS Sophomore quarterback Sams electrifies at K-State MANHATTAN — Gerald Leonard remembers watching Daniel Sams perform on the high school fields along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana. There were times when the coach would stand back and simply marvel at his talented young star. Plays would break down and Sams would make something out of nothing. "It has a unique quality to have," Leonard told The Associated Press this week. "The improvisation stuff that he was able to do on the field for us when things broke down and didn't go as designed, they were a lot of times highlight roll material." Sams only threw for 577 yards his senior year at Salmine High School near New Orleans, but he piled up more than 3,000 all-purpose yards while also playing wide receiver, It was just like magic. running back, kick returner and, yes, even the punter. That got the attention of schools such as Oklahoma and LSU, many of which wanted him to play just about anything except quarterback. 但 when Kansas State coach Bill Snyer gave Sams a shot to play the game's marquee position, he jumped at the opportunity. Now, Sams is the Wildcats' leading rusher while coming off the bench in a two-QB system, and he's making it hard for Snyer to keep him off the field headed into Saturday's game against Massachusetts. Sams backed up Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein last season, and was in a heated race with junior college transfer Jake Waters to start this season. Waters won out for an opening loss to North Dakota State and a 48-27 win over "I'm just thinking about making the most of my opportunities," Sams said. "If I'm successful, I'll see my playing time increase." Louisiana-Lafayette last Saturday night, but with every hip-swiveling run, Sams is making his mark on the Wildcats. "Daniel has the ability to accurately distribute the football either down field or in a short controlled passing game," Leonard said. "As he grows and improves on his read in that offense, he has plenty of capabilities to be a great throwing quarterback." In the meantime, the Wildcats are rolling with a two quarterback system. Waters is completing more than 70 percent of his passes for 279 yards per game, while Sams has run for 80 yards on just 10 carries — including two electrifying touchdown runs. You've got two guys who need to be on the field and we have to find ways or continue to find and cultivate ways in order to utilize both of them." Snyder said.

Along with Kansas, the competitive field includes Bowling Green, No. 25 Wisconsin and Milwaukee. Currently on a two-game losing streak, the Jayhawks open the tournament on Friday at 11 a.m. against Milwaukee. Kansas fell to No. 24 Creighton on Tuesday in a match where the Jayhawks saved seven match points.

Last Saturday, the Jayhawks dropped the home opener in five sets to Arkansas. Jarmoc and junior outside hitter Sara McClinton led the team with 18 kills each. wisconsin (6-0) is off to a hot start for the season after victories at the Pepperdine Invitational and the North Dakota State Invitational. The Badgers, who are one of nine Big Ten teams in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25, vaulted into the rankings after their two tournament victories. They come into this year's invitational as defending champions and have won the tournament 16 total times. Wisconsin's victories include a five-set victory over Northern Iowa and a three-setter against Louisville. Kansas won its only previous meeting against Wisconsin in 2004. After losing its first three matches of the season, Milwaukee (3-3) won its next three to claim the Akron Invitational last weekend. The Panthers return five starters and their libero from last season, including senior middle blocker Rachel Neuberger, who was named the tournament's most valuable player at the Akron Invitational. Milwaukee has won the Horizon League regular season title in eight of the last ten seasons. Bowling Green (1-4), like Kansas, had a tough preconference schedule to begin the year. Projected to finish first in the Mid-American Conference East division by the conference's coaches, the Falcons have played No. 13 Brigham Young University (BYU). No. 22 Purdue and No. 25 Creighton already this season. The Falcons' lone victory came against BYU at home in the Hampton Inn Invitational. Kansas' only meeting against Bowling Green was in 1994 with the lavihawks earning the victory. This tournament will end a 9-out-of-10 game road stretch for the Kansas squad.

Largely, that identity was run first, pass second. Head coach Charlie Weis looked as if he were toying with different running backs in different situations. But with a lot on the line this weekend, not only will Kansas have to find consistency in the backfield, they'll have to establish a passing game. POSITION NAME NO.

After that, Special Teams was one of Kansas' strong suits last week. Getting good field position off of punt and kick returns like the Jayhawks did against South Dakota will be huge. COACHING DEFENSE There a lot of interesting decisions to be made this weekend. The biggest question is how the running and passing game will be split up. Even further, it will be interesting to see which receiver gets the most looks and which running back will get the next most touches behind James Sims. It's anyone's guess right now. The Kansas defense looked solid in a lot of places last week. The Jayhawks looked good against everything except a running quarterback. They have another dual-threat quarterback on the menu again this weekend in Rice QB Taylor MHargue. Rice is better than South Dakota, and the defense holds the key to the team's first road win since 2009. POSITION NAME NO.

One of Kansas' evident weaknesses last week was the ability to contain a running quarterback. This week, they face another experienced dual-threat quarterback. Heeney will be largely responsible for keeping an eye on Rice quarterback Taylor McHargue. This game is huge for Kansas. If the Jayhawks lose this one, it severely knocks at the team's bowl goals. Wins are going to be hard to come by for Kansas this year, and if the Jayhawks drop a non-conference game, a lot of hope could be lost.

The team played some incredibly fast college football when it ran 90 plays during the game. Reminiscent of some Big 12 teams, Rice provides a sort of pre-test for what offenses the Jayhawks will face in the future in league play. Rice's quarterback Taylor McHargue finished the A&M game with 180 yards and two touchdowns as Charles Ross ran for 107 yards and scored. McHargue also finished with 78 yards on the ground, showing that he can be a dual-threat quarterback. RICE RICE OWLS POSITION NAME NO.

OG Nico Carlson 55 So. OG Andrew Reue 77 Fr. C Nate Richards 53 Jr. DEFENSE SPECIAL TEAMS COACHING Hardcore Kansas football fans should know that Rice's kicker Chris Boswell kicked the game-winning field goal at Memorial Stadium as time expired last year. During the A&M game last Saturday, he was 1-for-2 in punts including a 43-yarder. Rice head coach David Bailiff led the team to its second bowl victory in six years last season when he beat Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl, making him only the second coach to lead the Owls to multiple bowl games. Bailiff is a solid coach who is looking to get back on track after a rough loss. Expect Rice to be more than ready here; with the team facing their second straight year against Kansas, they know they can match up. Rice will return 10 starters on defense this week. Although they gave up 52 points to Johnny Manziel and the Aggies, they still feature experienced players. Senior safety Corey Frazier and sophomore defensive tackle Christian Covington, who have been picked for preseason All-Conference USA by the coaches, have been the main factors of an athletic and physical Rice defense.

In addition, Rice's offensive coordinator/running backs coach, John Reagan, was a member of the Kansas coaching staff for five seasons under Mark Mangino. Phillip Gaines: Gaines was out of the opener against A&M, who was tabbed a Preseason Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and was consensus All-Conference USA selection after leading the league. He also finished second nationally with 18 pass breakups in 2012. He looks to get Rice's defense back on track and is the physical safety who might cause problems in the Kansas offense.

Kansas will face Rio again on Saturday. BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ... Rice beats the Jayhawks. Rice is certainly good, but if Kansas wants to change how they are perceived, a victory is a must. A win here can accomplish many things; it will not only end a 19-game losing streak on the road,but it will continue to help Kansas football trend upward as a program. COACHING While Rice got a little roughed up, momentum shouldn't matter for them with the experience they have and 19 of 23 starters. QUESTION MARKS Will Rice break Kansas' hearts once again? Rice last year was brutal as they came back from 13-24 to win the game. Also, can Rice's offenses be as good against Kansas as it was in College Station? Rice will be playing at home for the first time this season and will be comfortable in their offense. Especially off a bye week, look for them to be well-rested and fastpaced. 25 31 51 ? ? ??

"I don't expect anything but our best Friday, especially coming off Sunday." "I think it was good that that happened at this point in the season," senior forward Caroline Kastor said. "It was a good wake-up call. It lets everyone on the team, especially the younger girls, know that you can't just take a game off. Every game is important." When asked what happened on Sunday, Kastor said the team didn't show up and didn't play its best game. In their last match, the Toreros earned a 2-1 victory over Missouri in overtime. Sophomore defender Caitlyn Kretzschmar scored the winning goal in the 10th minute of extra time. The goal was assisted by sophomore goalkeeper Michelle Craft, who launched a long pass to Kretzschmar.

Before these games this weekend the jayhawks are looking to prepare and alter their game to improve their performance. "we changed things around a little bit, and they've been open to that," coach Mark Francis said. "The attitude has been really good." The team is taking this time to make some changes and tweak some of its game-play. Francis said there will be some changes to personnel and tactics. The main goal is to create more offense. "We are just revisiting a few things we had gone over in preseason and making sure they understand some of those things," Francis said. "We have really gone back to basics. It's nothing complicated. It's just making sure they are all on the same page." Kansas is led in scoring by Kastor, who has three goals and two assists. Junior midfielder Jamie Fletcher is next with one goal and two assists. Junior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud has had 28 saves and seven goals scored against her. This is the first weekend of the season the Jayhawks will not be on the road for at least one of their games. The game on Friday is at 4:30 p.m. and will be shown on Metro Sports and ESPN3. Sunday's match against San Francisco is at noon.

They can already do so with the run game, but if they can't do the same sort of damage in the air, Kansas may not be able to distinguish this year's team from last year's team by season's end. It Kansas was confident in its passing game, it certainly wasn't reflected in last week's play calling. Of Heaps' 20 attempts, 15 were thrown in the first half, and 11 were thrown in the first quarter. Kansas was noticeably more comfortable running the ball, which it did 50 times. "I think in order for us to win the game we're going to have to be balanced." Heaps said. "We've got great backs and we feel confident in our passing game so we're going to have to have that 1-2 punch." Ford even believes that the wide receiving crew is actually one of the team's advantages this weekend against Rice on the road. "Our receivers are bigger than their corners." Ford said. "I'm pretty sure we're faster too. I think with me Justin [McCay], Christian [Matthews], and Tre Parmalee, I think we definitely outmatch their secondary if we play to our ability." "No," said Heaps. "No," said Ford. This game is huge for Kansas. A loss to a non-conference opponent with a schedule where victories will be hard to come by would be devastating for the Jayhawks. Avoiding it is simple. Kansas wide receivers need to catch the ball. Is it a problem fans should be concerned about this weekend? The Rice secondary tormented Dayne Crist last year, allowing him to complete only 16 of 28 passes. Rice cornerback Bryce Callahan had two interceptions. A defense with 10 returning starters should never be taken lightly, and Kansas doesn't intend to do so. Heaps acknowledged the fundamental identity of the Rice defense multiple times. Not many fundamental defenses get beat solely by a running-oriented offense, so Kansas will have to resort to the air.

The newest member is different than Lego's portrayals of females in the past 10 years. She is a scientist named Professor C. Bodin who is dressed in a lab coat, wearing glasses and holding two flasks of different chemicals. The scientist's bio on the Lego website states that "she'll spend all night in her lab analyzing how to connect bricks of different sizes and shapes," and that she won the Nobrick Prize. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY GEORGE MULLINIX According to a study done by Scientific American, the ratio of male to female Lego minifigures is 4:1 in favor of males, with most of the females being portrayed in stereotypical, sexist ways. This new representation of women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers is an important social advancement that many women have waited for. Barbara Barnett, the associate dean of journalism, said that there are only two images of women in the media. ter."

This image is a representation of Lee said that this conscious shift toward non-sexist toys like the what associate professor Tien- Tsung Lee wants to show in his Diversity in Media class. "I think there are a lot of girls that don't get that support. That's where our problem lies."

Or maybe people would want to say centuries ago." "I think the toy is a good example you are changing the water," Lee said. This change can also be seen in STEM careers that are slowly gaining more female members. During the 2012-13 academic year, the KU School of Engineering Over the summer, Jacquelyn Pedigo, the outreach coordinator for the School of Engineering puts on a two-week summer camp for high school girls. This summer camp shows young girls what type of departments the school has to offer. consisted of only 18.2% females, but despite the low representation of women, the school has outreach programs to increase interest in engineering for both males and females. In the time that Pedigo has worked at the summer camp she said that she has learned that many young girls want to make the world a better place, and believes this is why chemical engineering is 50 percent female at the University. The School of Engineering's Self Engineering Leadership Fellows (SELF) Program also informs high school students what the school is all about. During junior Caitlin Uyemura's senior year of high school in Osage City, a SELF member came to her hometown. The member talked about wanting to make medicine for kids with Spina Bifida, and then switching her interest to makeup, and eventually going into chemical and plastics. "Within one major there are so many opportunities, and I was really interested in that," Uyemura said. Despite the opportunities in STEM careers, there is a stigma that mostly men work in these fields. Nicole Risky, a senior from Tecumseh, said she was never really confronted by this stereotype. She was told quite the opposite and was supported by both her family members and professors. "I think there are a lot of girls that don't get that support. That's where our problem lies. When you get told you can't do something over and over again, you can go one of two ways: prove them wrong and do it anyway, or shy away to the norm you believe society has for you," Rissky said. It's too early to tell if the new Lego figures will change unfair stereotypes about women, but the intention to do so is clearly there. The creator of the project is Alatariel Elensar, who says she is an isotope geochemist. "Although recently Lego has started to design and add more female figures to their sets, they are still a minority," Elensar wrote on Lego's website. "I have designed some professional female minifigures that also show that girls can become anything they want."

New philanthropy assists students with finances JENNIFER SALVA isalva@kansan.com Hawks Helping Hawks, a new philanthropic organization at the University, aims to help students in financial need. Zach George, a junior from Ottawa and president of Hawks Helping Hawks, along with 14 students who now comprise the board, wanted to create a philanthropic campaign where money would go directly to students who are struggling to make ends meet. Students who are struggling financially will be able to apply for a "Student Opportunity Award" which can range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand, depending on an individual's circumstances, George said. A student board will be assembled from members of different groups around campus to choose "The goal is to strengthen the Jayhawk family and create a culture of giving at the University," George said. Hawks Helping Hawks is currently working with the Office of Financial Aid to be able to consider students' financial need in confidentiality, as well as make sure that an award will not affect which applicants will receive awards, George said. The group hopes to generate enough funds to give their first Student Opportunity Award this fall. SEE HAWKS PAGE 3 CAMPUS CLAS program promotes interaction with professors JOSE MEDRANO imedrano@kansan.com Having a conversation with a professor in a class of a more than a hundred students can be difficult; having a one-on-one interaction with a professor can be even harder. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences allows students to have lunch with a professor in order to interact and get to know each other better through the "Take Your Professor to Lunch" program. "I like to get to know a student a little bit more personally," biology professor Craig Martin said. said. "In a class of a thousand it can be difficult, but this program allows that." around 10 students approach him every semester to go out to lunch. Professors and students not only discuss class related topics but personal topics as well. Melissa Corder is a senior psychology major who has taken several professors out to lunch. The program allows students to take a professor to eat at the Underground, the Market or the Crimson Cafe by using vouchers to cover the meal cost for both students and faculty members. "The most common question I get is, do I really like this music I play?" said Martin, who plays heavy metal at the beginning of lectures. Martin usually has "We talk about all different sorts of things," said Corder, who had lunch with her former math instructor earlier "The best thing about it is that you really get to know a student almost as a friend." CRAIG MARTIN Biology professor structor earlier last week. "We talked about my career plans and the recent passing of my father." Students have to schedule a lunch time with the professor or faculty member before filling out the application for the lunch. The application must then be submitted at least one week prior to the scheduled lunch date in order to get approval for the voucher. "There are so many purposes for this," Corder said. "A lot of students think that they can use professors as references for when they go to grad school or when they go to get a job, but they're more than just people who you can use as references. They're potential colleagues, advisers and Both Corder and Martin encourage faculty members and students to take part in the lunch program. The program limits students to one lunch voucher per academic year, but that doesn't apply to faculty members. The voucher is also limited to $15 to cover meals for both the professor and the student. Any expense above that amount has to come out of pocket. Both Corder and Martin encourage faculty members and students The best thing about it is that you really get to know a student almost as a friend," Martin said. "I've established friendships with students through the program that continue now." The lunch program is only available to students who are pursuing academic degrees and majors within the college. Pre-professional majors are also eligible to take part in the program. Students can eat together in groups with their professor, exceeding no more than three people per group. The "Take Your Professor to Lunch" program is available to students throughout the academic year. The application and more information can be found at collegeku.edu/academics/lunch.

EDUCATION National University Rankings Pulitzer Clock OUT Kansas moves up in public university rankings KATIE MCBRIDE kmcbride@kansan.com The University moved up to 47th in the 2014 U.S. News and World Report ranking of public universities released on Sept. 10. The University's ranking last year was 51st, and this year the University shares the 47th spot with five other public universities. In overall rankings, the University tied for 101st with seven other national universities. GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN which colleges to apply to Students can read the rest of the U.S. News and World Report rankings for 2013 at usnews.com/rankings. A University news release suggests that the shift in the University's ranking could be due to the implementation of Bold Aspirations, its strategic plan, and the KU Core Curriculum. However, the U.S. News staff writes that changes in ranking from last year to this year are most likely due to the changes made in the methodology of ranking or changes in other schools' performance, not just changes in the school's programs. The rankings have been criticized for using college selectivity and reputation as measurements of school quality, writes the Lawrence-Journal World in a Sept. 13 article. Since the most effective and fair way to measure the quality of education at each school is highly debated, U.S. News updates its methodology for measuring data frequently. Even though U.S. News includes factors other than college reputation, Emma Zink, a freshman from Durango, Colo., placed importance on this aspect when deciding on "It probably shouldn't have mattered as much, but I applied to a lot of Ivy League schools, because of their reputation," Zink said. "I wasn't considering Kansas because I didn't think it was as good of a school." Zink said when considering potential colleges to apply to, she also valued factors such as location, class size and financial resources. Data is gathered about each college based on 16 areas of academic excellence, including the high school performance of students who attend, faculty resources and other factors. A weighted composite score is determined based on these factors in order to rank the schools. The U.S. News staff recommends using their rankings as one tool when deciding on a college, but to also use other resources such as counselors, parents, websites and campus visits. In addition, many other factors should go into a student's choice about which college they choose, including the location, size, financial resources and personal preferences. This year, U.S. News changed its ranking methodology to better represent the performance of each school. It increased the weight for SAT and ACT scores, and lessened the weight for high school class standing of newly enrolled students. This was mainly due to the fact that each year, the number of applying seniors with class rank on their transcript is declining. Another factor that was changed when determining rankings was graduation rate performance, which was widened to include all the Best Colleges ranking categories. Graduation and retention rates have a total weight of 30 percent in the ranking process, which is more than any other factor. When trying to compile a list of potential colleges, the rankings provide reliable data to compare schools and help students to look closely at the differences between the specific factors that are most important to the individual. "We do it to help you make one of the most important decisions of your life," the U.S. News staff writes. Zink says when trying to narrow down her list of potential colleges, rankings were not as much of a concern for her as the experience she would get out of the university. "Just looking at rankings, you would never know the feel of the campus. There's a community that, even if you're not a part of it, you can walk around and see," Zink said. She considered a small school in Connecticut, but when she went to the college for a campus visit, she discovered that despite its high rankings, well-respected academics and picturesque campus, it was not a place she wanted to attend due to the limited social aspects of student life. "It's a really good school, but it's a miserable place to be," Zink said. Due to this, Zink found that rankings are not always the best way to make a decision on a college. "You can compare the academics and the statistics,but schools are different for each person," Zink said. "You have to enjoy the place you're at to get more out of it, and that's more of a personal thing that statistics can't analyze."

The fraternity has been under investigation due to an incident linked with the abuse and killing of a turkey during a party at the fraternity's house.

Conflicting media accounts and evidence reports by witnesses on the scene made it difficult for investigators to pinpoint the exact perpetrators of the turkey's abuse stated the District Attorney's office. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little also released a statement concerning the investigation. "As members of the KU community, the participants in this inexhaustible incident have embarrassed not only themselves but the entire university. The behavior reported does not reflect the principles or standards of conduct I expect from our students. Fraternity leadership should use this time to restore the trust of the university and the public." Gray-Little said. According to the District Attorney's office the investigation was delayed due to proximity the case had to winter break which caused a seven month delay. Branson also stated, "I hope other organizations holding functions will take notice of this and police their functions accordingly."

BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN L T O M Q U I N L A N tquinlan@kansan.com Opened in 1965, Naismith Hall has housed almost 20,000 students over the years. This historic residence hall is looking to the future with new renovations. The privately owned residence hall has just received a major facelift to its first floor lobby. The Bromley Companies, a New York-based real estate investment company, owns Naismith Hall. Bromley owns other student residence facilities at Colorado State, Texas Tech and Ohio University. Bromley has a reputation for updating residence halls to better suit student needs. This is the first part of a renovation process that will cost approximately $3 million. Upgrades to the lobby include a new computer lab with both PCs and iMacs, increased internet speeds and free printing. For recreation, the common area also has a new pingpong table as well as a pool table. And for those students who dread doing their laundry, things got a little easier with a new laundry room that notifies its users via text message when their laundry is done. For those who wish to express their culinary creativity, residents will be able to take a break from their meal plans and cook for themselves in a new community kitchen. Construction on the lobby finished in August, just in time for its residents to move in for the fall semester. The lobby comes with plenty of features that residents of Naismith will enjoy. The new lobby has a modern look about it. It feels closer to an upscale hotel rather than a student residence hall. Contemporary yet comfortable chairs offer a great place to study or just hang out.

Animal testing advances medical field progress Scientists poison, shock, burn torture and kill animals animals are treated like prisoners in laboratories, living in isolation and misery; humans do not share the same diseases as animals. These are the kind of ignorant statements organizations like PETA and other animal rights groups advocate. This is part of PETA's campaign against the use of animals in research. Unfortunately, these testimonies of "animal cruelty" appeal to the emotional side of many individuals who do not possess a strong science or health background. Why do we use non-human models? To study genetic disorders like Parkinson's or Down syndrome, we need to use models that are genetically similar to numans. Mice share about 95 percent of its DNA with humans. They are also good models in looking at addiction or cognition, because many of our brain circuits are analogous like the reward (mesolimbic) pathway. Scientists use rats in substance abuse studies because they metabolize alcohol and drugs at a similar rate to humans. Chick embryos have provided valuable insights into the development of the nervous system, showing how cells migrate and differentiate. We can look at generations of animals in a short period of time as well as control the environment to greatly increase the power to detect genetic effects.

HeLa, or human cell lines, are a great example of an immortal cell line used in cancer research. They are easily cultured and are derived from human epithelial cells. However, there are drawbacks in using cell cultures. Mainly, one does not know how other systems will be affected when looking at just cells. This is the splendor of comparative medicine. Researchers use animal models to observe both similarities and differences to gain insight into the many complex human biological systems. Animal research means medical progress. Whether it is a discovery of a novel protein, or synthesizing a new drug or vaccine development, animal research has vastly improved many fields. These include cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, birth defects and neurological disorders, to name a few. Like humans, animals like your pet cat or dog also deal with these sorts of ailments. It is a misconception to think laboratory animals are treated cruelly. Before one can work with the animals, a rigorous training session is required to go over proper techniques in handling the animals. The Public Health Service mandates high-quality housing, nutrition and veterinary care for research animals. Research institutions like universities are required to have an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. The IACUC reviews and approves research protocols to ensure proper anesthetics and post- operational medications are used and integrated into the studies when necessary. At the end of the day, researchers are saving lives and that's what motivates these investigations. There was a poster in my former lab of a rat to the left and a little girl on the right.

CAMPUS Walking to class benefits more than just your calves If you asked me what I miss the most about living on-campus, it wouldn't be the unlimited fro-yo and Reese's Puffs or the constant free entertainment via bearded hula-hopper populating the Hashinger front steps. It would be...walking. Walking? Yes, walking. You see, my daily, failed attempts to appear graceful while hobbling down Daisy Hill, 'free' Mrs. E's coffee in one hand, cracked iPod in the other, with the cold morning air startling me awake while I not-so-subly kept my eyes peeled for basketball players near Jayhawker Towers (no shame), became oddly therapeutic to me. In my distant, exotic homeland of Chicagoland suburbia, the landscape ranged from completely flat, to slightly-less-flat. I grew to welcome the frequent hill-induced quadricep burn, the physical manifestation of my lack of a car, worsened by my penchant for flip-flops. Just like the strange bond formed between two poor souls on adjacent treadmills, I considered myself a member of the exclusive 'walkers club' (it's too elusive to warrant a more creative name); a group whose membership fluctuated seasonally but had its core of dedicated trekkers. We had different schedules and never acknowledged our unspoken connection, but the comradery lived, at least in my sometimes overly imaginative mind. Maybe that guy who By Erin Calhoun ecallhoun@kansan.com didn't get the memo that shark tooth necklaces went out with frosted tips and Backstreet Boys was smiling at me in ancknowledgement of our mutual love for walking as we passed each other on overlapping routes, or maybe 'Quit Playin' Games With My Heart,' just shuffled over his iPhone—I may never know. But a girl can dream, right? The ability to walk wasn't just a way to trick myself into exercising—although any mom with a fitness Pinterest board would tell you that increased physical activity is certainly not a bad thing—it was a freedom to savor the journey. There's something very un-romantic about dragging yourself out of bed in your cement-bunker dorm room onto a carpeted seat in a slow-moving bus into a foldout lecture chair. You never see sunlight, you never feel a pull in your muscles, never a shiver on your exposed skin—you're just shuffling from seat-to-seat, scrolling through subtweets about your quasi-friend's recent breakups until lecture begins. To walk to class was to separate myself from the non-academic and take time to shake off the cobwebs, notice the changing foliage and mentally prepare for the day ahead. It was a time free of the seemingly constant, mindless stimuli—there was no screen in my face, no music in my ears drowning out my thoughts, no forced small talk to fill the air (pardon the bias of an introvert.) Perhaps the buses are so cramped because we view transportation as a right, as a sacred necessity. Why walk three blocks to the store when you could drive? You could spare yourself slight physical exhaustion and maybe the 10 minutes you could have spent on YouTube—seems like a simple enough choice, right? But when you realize the somewhat meditative value of a walk, when you learn to relish the things and people you pass even briefly, the extra time doesn't seem so wasted. I could be looking back at my walking days through rose-colored glass, undoubtedly, but absence truly does make the heart grow fonder, and my current 35-minute bus ride provides quite a stark contrast. Instead of skillfully maneuvering cross-walks, I now attempt to steer myself clear of the horribly awkward face-to-standing stranger's crochet scenario that a crowded bus ride inevitably yields. I try just to fill my journey instead of taking the time to enjoy it. So, selfishly, I issue a plea to you lucky on-campus dwellers: keep my secret, most likely imagined club alive. Let me live vicariously through you. Take the time to walk, and just try not to love it. Erin Calhoun is a pre-med student from Naperville, IL. BOOKS CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK 'Open City' dissects self-perception issues Teju Cole is a Nigerian-American writer who was raised in Nigeria and moved to the States at age 17. His first novel, "Open City" (published 2011), was nominated for, and won, several awards. The novel is narrated by Julius, a Nigerian immigrant living in New York finishing the final year of his psychiatry residency. The beauty of "Open City" is that you, the reader, can see yourself in Julius despite his disparate life circumstances. The events of the book center around Julius' increasingly far-flung walks through the city of New York (and for some time a trip to Belgium), the people he meets, the philosophical conversations he has with them and his inner thoughts. Julius' relationships also play a central role in the story; his recent breakup is perhaps the impetus for the walks—he visits an elderly professor he is close with, spends time with a jazz-loving friend (a foil to Julius' passion for classical music) and meets another girl later on. Julius' conversations with others and his reflections on his own life and experiences are told with an intimate, honest tone. Julius narrates the novel in a retrospective manner, as if looking back on his last year in residency in a conversation with a close friend, or perhaps a private diary. The novel delves into universal themes like dealing with loss and death, the blurred line between sanity and madness, the still-present racism here in America and elsewhere, and the struggle of self and perception. This work is worth reading because of the truths we can see about ourselves in it. It's worth reading because of the way it challenges those deep-seated beliefs we may have about ourselves. Somewhere in the pages of the novel you'll find yourself, or something you can identify with. In one of the defining moments of the novel, one character describes to Julius a time that he caused great emotional damage to him/her. Julius had been unaware By Jason Bates jbates@kansan.com of the harm hed done until this moment. This long-ago wound redefined the life of the wounded person; similarly, it redefines Julius, both in his self-perception and in the reader's eyes. Julius avers that "...we play, and only play, the hero, and in the swirl of other people's stories, insofar as those stories concern us at all, we are never less than heroic... And so, what does it mean when, in someone else's version, I am the villain?" UDK Have you had one of these revelatory moments in which you realize you've been someone else's villain, while before you had convinced yourself you were the hero in your own story? I have. These are moments when I've wanted to rewrite the story, be more caring, be more understanding, efface selfish thoughts in favor of selflessness. While you may be the hero of your own story, there's a greater human narrative. All our stories intertwine and mesh to form this story. It's the story of the American Dream, from the Nigerian immigrant to the son of a CEO. Or you could say it's that of God, Allah, Yahweh, Buddha, humanism, scientific progress. My constant struggle is to orient and inform my own story in relation to a greater story. In doing so I hope to be the best version of myself. What's your story? Are you the hero? What about your professor's story? What about your roommates'? What about your RAs? Are you the hero in theirs too? Probably not, but your stories are nevertheless interconnected. I think it's worthwhile to consider the ways our stories connect to others'. Let's use those connections to craft an even better story together.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Blue Man Group deliver unique show to Lied Center TOM DEHART tdehart@kansan.com The Lied Center stage will turn blue tonight for its second performance of the Lied Center Presents performance series. The distinctive style of the Blue Man Group will enhance audience's senses tonight and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. Blue Man Group got its start in 1987 in New York and has now grown into a global phenomenon. The unique form of entertainment combines technology, comedy and music to capture audiences of all ages. The group is currently on its first North American tour. Brian Tavener, who has been a Blue Man for six years and will be performing alongside two other Blue Men on the Lied Center stage this week, said that this tour's show is a spectacle for the eyes, and is a personal favorite of his. “This tour has gotten a complete face-lift on the technology aspects of the show, so the audience can expect a spectacle—it's a feast for the eyes just along the lines of how the show looks.” Tawener said. “Also, the four piece band that plays music the entire show, which basically represents the psyche of the Blue Man Group, is amazing." "As a Blue Man, I get to be a 110 percent version of Brian Tavener," One of the things that draw most people to the show, Tavener also said, is that the show is a constant work in progress that allows the performers to reflect the culture of the times, and that is ultimately why the show has enjoyed such notable success. "I get to be myself as I would exist if we didn't have rules, or didn't know what was right or wrong in our society. That's what I like about being a Blue Tekbilek as well as the Paris-based Hermes Quartet. University students are at an advantage when purchasing these tickets for Lied Center Presents performances because the Lied Center is required to hold tickets that have been subsidized by the Student Senate, according to Lied Center Marketing Communications Director, Michele Berendsen. "We basically never sell "As a Blue Man, I get to be a 110 percent version of Brian Tavener." Man, it's like I get to be the baby that I once was that never knew anything from anything else. It's a beautiful way to experience 2,000 people all at once." BRIAN TAVENER Blue Man Group Blue Man Group is only one of the many shows that will be performed as part of Lied Center Presents this school year. Other performances this month include Turkish musician Omar Faruk we set out of tickets," Berendsen said. "By contract, we have to keep tickets up until the day of. Last season we came close to selling out by about 6 or 7 tickets, but we never did." Tickets for MUSIC the Blue Man Group show start at $35 for University students, faculty and staff. Students can save money on other Lied Center performances this school year by purchasing a Performing Arts Pass which allows students into 18 performances for $125.

This song, "Mandrino," cycles through a folk-style intro with some classical guitar, and explodes into a fast, punk-ish beat with accompanying wind instruments and violins.

Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, announced that she will begin writing the script for her book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" as an "extension of the wizarding world." The fictional character Newt Scamander, from the Harry Potter series, wrote "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." This book, published in 2001, is about the study of magical creatures, or Magizoology, and describes the 75 magical species from around the world. "The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt's story will start in New York, 70 years before Harry's gets underway" Rowling said on her website. Sophomore Jacob Brainerd from Clinton, N.C., said he loved everything J.K.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Country music festival exceeds expectations for first-time viewer HANNAH BARLING hbarling@kansan.com Aside from the hats, boots, blinged-out jeans and Affliction T-shirts, country concerts have a lot to offer. Sporting Park hosted Flatlands Country Music Festival this weekend. It was the venue's first music festival, and it also happened to be my first live country music experience. I'm not a huge country music fan and had no idea what to expect going into the event, but my experience was much better than I had anticipated. The Fans Compared to fans at other shows I've been to, they seemed happier and more energized. Country fans are rowdy. They seemed like they were having the time of their lives and didn't want to be anywhere else. The energy between them and the performers was high and it was apparent they were pumped. electronic shows. Although their excitement may have been amplified from the beer drinking as opposed to mindaltering drugs people take at dubsten on The Performers Friday night had a strong setlist: Drew Six, Kevin Fowler, Thompson Square, Rodney Atkins, Darius Rucker and Luke Bryan. The artists were just as happy to be there as the fans. The connection between fans and performers is very intimate. Rodney Atkins brought a lot of energy to the stage. He was on his knees, belting the lyrics by the second song. He threw up his guitar to switch out between songs and kept the high intensity throughout the show. Darius Rucker was grooving throughout his performance. Kicking off the night with "Alright" and "The Craziest Thing," the audience knew he was there to put on a good show. He shook his hips and danced around in his snakeskin boots with a giant grin on his face the entire time. Voted Entertainer of the Year by the Academy of Country Music, Luke Bryan proved he deserved that honor. Ladies love Luke Bryan. His big white smile and tight jeans are only two reasons why. Bryan used the entire stage and his confidence was radiating with every dance move. Another reason ladies love him: he gets a little frisky with his moves. But not all Luke Bryan fans are women. As I looked around the audience, everyone knew the lyrics to all of the songs. At one point in the show, they brought out a cooler full of beer and Bryan started to spray it at the fans. He welcomed the beer the fans threw back with open arms. The Experience Besides the fans and the performers, the atmosphere is what makes a country music festival a country music festival. Everyone is friendly. There are beer tents everywhere. The energy is high throughout the entire lineup. Country music fan or not, I advise anyone looking for a fun time with energized people to go to a country concert.

The defense was the only positive aspect of the game for the Jayhawks in their first road loss of the season MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN CHRIS HYBL chybl@kansan.com CONNOR OBERKROM coberkrom@kansan.com DEFENSE:B Kansas' defense was the only thing keeping them in the game. The defense made key stops to force field goals as well as a handful of punts. Giving up one offensive touchdown is a good sign for the defense moving forward, especially considering the pre-game worries about the Kansas defense being able to hold its ground against a dual-threat quarterback. Rice running back Charles Ross, however did earn 5.8 yards per carry on 27 handoffs. OFFENSE: D- They don't fail only because James Sims played well. In Jake Heaps' first real test, he looked horrible. Heaps was 13 for 28 with two interceptions and 157 yards and one touchdown. The good part of that stat line should be credited to Tony Pierson for his 77-yard touchdown run. The other only offensive touchdown KU scored was because of an Isaiah Johnson interception that he returned to the Rice 16. It wasn't all Heaps' fault though: drops plagued the Jayhawk wide receivers again - an area they said should not have any reason for concern prior to Saturday's game. SPECIAL TEAMS: C Transfer punter Trevor Pardula got a lot of action Saturday and did his job fairly well. Rice defenders did get their hands on two punts in the fourth quarter, though. Kicker Matthew Wyman had a big chance to give KU a cushion when they were up 14-13 in the third quarter, but Wyman pulled the 47-yarder wide left. COACHING:D A week after spreading carries around on the running back crew, James Sims has 19 carries compared to two for Darrian Miller and one each for Brandon Bourbon and Tony Pierson. Pierson made some magic in the first quarter with a 77-yard TD, but only touched the ball five times in the game. Backup quarterback Michael Cummings also came on for a third and long situation in the third quarter. Not a great sign.

The defense also came up big with two turnovers, both INT's by Isiah Johnson and Dexter McDonald. A&M gave up 21 points in just one half to the Owls last week and the Jayhawks yielded 17 over the course of the game, so a silver lining is sort of there. GLASS HALF EMPTY The offense was a little lethargic and then some. Besides a 77-yard catch and dash by Tony Pierson, the Jayhawks mustered just 193 total yards of offense. Heaps accuracy and poise just wasn't there as he was flushed out of the pocket and the disruption in the Rice defense caused Heaps to throw 2 INT's including one pick six. The offensive development just wasn't there and even the rushing attack, while piling up 100 yards, averaged a meager 2.9 yards per carry as Rice stacked the box throughout the game begging for Heaps to beat them. He didn't, finishing the night 13-for-28 total ing 157 yards passing with two picks and just one score. This was a chance for Kansas to alter some thoughts around the program that they're heading in the right direction, but that was almost the polar opposite on Saturday. They had a chance to break the road losing streak and beat an above average opponent, but none of that happened as another disappointing Kansas road loss is in the books. GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID While the offense certainly didn't amount to much, the defense really made a statement by showing that they have some talent returning and some new faces that can play. Ben Heeney was all over the field, and when he wasn't making tackles he was always near the ball. He finished the night with 15 tackles, including 2.5 tackles for a loss. DELAY OF THE GAME The game plan that Charlie Weis laid was rather weak and didn't seem to make much sense. Weis, who said last week he wanted to pound the ball, seemed like that's what he wanted the teams' identity to be. However, he went away from that on Saturday, only handing the ball off to James Sims, Darrian Miller and Tony Pierson a combined 22 times. Not a good showing for Weis, who clearly wanted to be an offense that sets up the run with the pass, instead of vice versa. LOOKING AHEAD Kansas now faces Louisiana Tech, who finished the season 9-3 last year. But now, without Sonny Dykes, the new coach Skip Holtz has gotten off to a rocky start already compiling two losses to NC State and Tulane. While Louisiana Tech may be worse than Rice, they are certainly no pushover, proving that with their record last year. It should make for a close one in Lawrence on Saturday. FINAL THOUGHT Did Kansas fans expect to beat Rice? No, probably not, but they at least expected a little more fire. The Kansas football program had a chance to take a step forward, but they failed to do that with some regretful coaching decisions and some sloppy QB play. They didn't take a step backwards however, as they were in the game most of the time, showcasing some good defense, but the offense certainly hasn't done much to inspire a whole lot of confidence so far this season. Once Big 12 play comes around, they better be more sensible and well-prepared, because it will only get harder from here. WELL I DECLARE! “THE BEST THING I DID WAS ADD A BUSINESS MINOR.

A frightened woman heard him pounding and opened her front door, then called police. Officers found the unarmed man, and one shot him when a taser failed to stop him from approaching. Within hours, investigators determined that the shooting had been excessive and charged the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer with voluntary manslaughter in the death of former Florida A&M University football player Jonathan A. Ferrell. Ferrell, 24, played for Florida A&M in 2009 and 2010, school officials said Sunday. He had recently moved to North Carolina. Early Saturday, he had apparently been in a wreck and was seeking help at a nearby house, according to a statement from Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. A woman entered the door and, when she didn't recognize the man, called 911. Officers responding to the breaking and entering call found Ferrell a short distance from the home, police said.

Police Chief Rodney Monroe described the auto accident in a news conference. Ferrell was driving a vehicle that crashed into trees off a northeast Charlotte road early Saturday, and the wreck was so severe he would have had to climb out of the back window to escape. Monroe said he didn't know what caused the crash and didn't say whether Ferrell suffered injuries. Ferrell apparently walked about a half-mile to the nearest house and was "banging on the door viciously" to attract attention, Monroe said. Thinking it was her husband coming home late from work, the woman who lives there opened the door. When she saw Ferrell, she shut it and called police at about 2:30 a.m., Monroe said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Despite comeback, Royals leave without victory in Detroit MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Max Scherzer could only watch as the lead — and another shot at his 20th win — slipped away. The Detroit right-hander didn't mind, especially once Alex Avila's homer put the Tigers ahead again moments later. Avila homered twice, including a tiebreaking solo shot in the eighth inning that lifted Detroit over the Kansas City Royals 3-2 Sunday. Scherzer was in line for his 20th win when reliever Drew Smily allowed the Royals to tie it in the top of the eighth, but Avilla answered with a drive to right-center for his 11th home run this season. "We're just looking to win the game," Scherzer said. "I don't care if I win another game, if we win our division, that's all that matters." The AL Central-leading Tigers remained five games ahead of second-place Cleveland, which beat the Chicago White Sox. "I thought he could get us to the end. In hindsight, I pushed him too far, but I thought he could get us through the bottom of the order and maybe get the win or turn it over to the pen with a tie game," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "He did a lot of bending, but he didn't break." Scherzer has two losses and two no-decisions since a 19-1 start but was terrific Sunday. He allowed a run and five hits with 12 strikeouts and one walk in seven innings. He was on track to become baseball's first 20-game winner this year when he pitched out of a second-and-third, one-out jam in the seventh to preserve a one-run lead But Smyly (6-0) allowed a leadoff double to Alcides Escobar in the eighth. After a flyout by Alex Gordon, Emilio Bonifacio struck out - with Escobar stealing third on the third strike. With Eric Hosmer batting, Smily bounced a wild pitch that didn't skip too far away from Avila. Hosmer, who hits left-handed, stood and motioned to Escobar, who gambled by trying to score. That collision cost the Tigers any chance to catch Escobar. Tigers manager Jim Leyland came out to discuss the play with plate umpire James Hoye, but the run stood. Avila jumped up to retrieve the ball, which had bounced up the first-base line - but the Detroit catcher plowed right into Hosmer, who had moved slightly to his right in an apparent effort to get out of the way. Guthrie allowed three runs and 13 hits. He struck out four and walked one. "It wasn't interference," Avila said. "It was the right call. It was just a weird situation." his 20th save in 20 chances. Jeremy Guthrie (14-11) pitched all eight innings for the Royals, who remained 3.5 games back in the AL wild-card race. Avila's first homer was a two-run drive in the second. Gordon hit a Avila's homer in the bottom half put the Tigers back on top. After a poor start at the plate, Avila is hitting .313 since the Star break. "Just trying to hit the ball hard. There's nothing that I changed, there's no magic or secret to it," Avila said. "I'm just having some luck, some good swings and hitting the ball hard, really." solo homer for Kansas City in the fourth. Detroit left 10 men on base. In the fifth, Miguel Cabrera led off with a single and Prince Fielder followed with a double. They were stranded when Guthrie retired Victor Martinez, Andy Dirks and Omar Infante on consecutive groundouts. Joaquin Benoit got three outs for Gordon's solo homer down the line in right field to lead off the fourth made it 2-1, and Bonifacio followed with a single. Scherzer found a groove after that, retiring 10 of 11 with nine strikeouts before a one-out single by Salvador Perez in the seventh. his 20th save in 20 chances. --- ROBERT J.

The Jayhawks (7-3) beat host team Wisconsin and closed the tournament with two consecutive five-set victories to claim the title, adding to their first place finish at the Arizona Invitational. With a winning stretch of nine-out-of-10 road matches to open the season, the team has dubbed themselves "Road Warriors." The Jayhawks backed up that claim after finishing with a 7-2 record on the road. ROAD matches are the hardest ones to play," said Tiana Dockery, sophomore outside hitter. "We had to push through and work hard, and I think we showed that mentality this weekend." The Jayhawks started strong, racing to a three-set victory over the Milwaukee Panthers with a score of 25-20, 25-18 and 25-10 in just one hour and 15 minutes. Junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers and Dockery led the team with 10 kills each. Albers also contributed five blocks. in the primetime match of the tournament Friday night, Kansas took on No. 25 Wisconsin, who was undefeated at 6-0 and about to play in its home opener. With 3,490 in attendance, the Badgers stormed out and took the first two sets of the match. Kansas responded after the break and built an early five point lead in the third. Redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc landed four kills in the set and senior setter Erin McNorton had 13 assists to pace the offense. Wisconsin didn't lead the entire set as the Jayhawks gained momentum and quieted the home crowd. Down 3-0 to start the fourth set, Kansas used a 14-7 run to gain the advantage and force a decisive fifth set. Wisconsin served for the match leading 14-13 and 15-14, but kills by junior outside hitter Sara McClinton erased both match points. Tied at 15-all, an attack error by the Badgers gave the Jayhawks a match point of their own. A block by freshman middle blocker Tayler Soucie and Albers ensured the match to give Kansas its first win over a ranked team this season with a score of 22-25, 21-25, 25-20, 25-21 and 17-15. Coach Ray Bechard said the match gave his squad great experience playing in a difficult road. ment's Most Valuable Player after producing 42 kills and a teamhigh 18 blocks for the tournament. Riley and Dockery were also named to the All-Tournament team. Riley led the Jayhawk defense with 71 digs for the tournament while Dockery aided the offense with 36 kills. in a difficult road atmosphere. "We had to push through and work hard, and I think we showed that mentality this weekend." a difficult road atmosphere. "You can't simulate this in practice." Bechard said. "This match got the players to experience that kind of environment with that kind of pressure." Dockery led all players with 21 kills in the match while Jarmoc contributed 17. Erin McNorton tied her season-high with 85 assists, and senior libero Brianne Rieanne anchored the defense with 28 digs. The Jayhawks are now 3-1 in five set matches for the season with all three wins coming on the road. One match away from clinching the title, the Jayhawks took on the Bowling Green Falcons (1-6) Saturday afternoon. Better than their record suggests, the Falcons battled back from a 2-1 set deficit to force a fifth set. In arguably its best set of the match, Kansas scored five points in a row to take a 7-2 lead. Up 11-8, the Jayhawks won the last four points of the match to claim the championship 25-22, 22-25, 25-18, 23-25 and 15-8. Jarmoc and Dockery continued their hot play with 41 combined kills, while Riley set the tone with 31 digs, a season-high. "You've got to be determined TIANA DOCKERY Sophomore outside hitter and have a Jarmoc was named the tourna- and have a tough mind-set," Bechard said. "When we needed to buckle down, we were able to do that." Last year, Kansas opened the season with seven of its first 10 matches at home. Senior defensive specialist Jaime Mathieu said the opening slate of matches this year will better prepare the team for the rest of the season. "We're learning how to handle adversity and we're encountering situations we not used to" Mathieu said. "It will get us ready for the postseason and we'll be more ready than we were last year." Kansas has now faced teams in the Pac 12, SEC, Big Ten and Big East this season. The Jayhawks stand 3-2 against teams in power conferences. "We've run into a lot of good teams and we'll be a better team for it," Bechard said. "It's going to challenge us to be the best we can." The Jayhawks now begin a fivegame home stretch starting on Friday, Sept. 20, with the Kansas Invitational. The experience gained from the road matches will go a long way in helping the Jayhawks reach new heights this season. "We're prepared for anything,' McClinton said.

SOCCER FROM PAGE 12 offensive run for themselves with swarming defense. Sophomore midfielder Hanna Kallmaier dribbed to midfield before sending a long pass to senior forward Caroline Kastor. Kastor seemed to have the goalkeeper beat, but her shot proved to not have enough power, and gave goalie Maladyn Schiff plenty of time to catch the ball. The Jayhawks had one final opportunity to score with 15 seconds left. Junior defender Haley Yearout sent a corner kick toward the goal, but Fletcher's shot on goal went wide right. Before this weekend, the Jayahwaks were looking forward to getting back on track on their home field. They were 2-0 at home before the Kansas Invitational; now they are 2-2 and looking for answers. The last Jayhawk goal came in the match against Arizona on Sept. 6. Arizona came back to force a tie with the Jayhawks, who couldn't protect or extend their lead that day. After that came the loss to Arizona State, as well as Friday's loss to San Diego 2-0. Francis said his team played well Friday against San Diego and lost because of two mental mistakes. He said his team lost track of members of the opposing team, which San Diego midfielder Taylor Housley took advantage of, scoring both goals. Other than that, Kansas defended soundly and played well enough to win. Now, Friday seems like it was just part of the current Jayhawk slump. We have to show up and get a goal Friday to get back on the winning track," Francis said. Kansas drops to 3-4-1 and 2-2 at home. Up next is a road matchup against South Dakota State and a home game against Illinois State next weekend.

Minnesota's Blair Walsh had just kicked a 22-yard field goal with 3:15 remaining when Chicago took over at its 34. Cutler, who led the Bears back from an 11-point deficit in a season-opening win over Cincinnati, struck again. Cutler threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett with 10 seconds left to lead the Chicago Bears to a 31-30 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. A 24-yard pass to Bennett along the sideline put the ball on the 16. Cutter then spiked the ball before connecting with Bennett in the front corner of the end zone. Robbie Gould kicked the go- ahead extra point and Chicago (2-0) remained unbeaten under new coach Marc Trestman despite committing four turnovers. Cutler completed 28 of 39 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns. But he was also intercepted twice and got stripped by Jared Allen on a sack, leading to a 61-yard touchdown return for Brian Robison in the second quarter. Devin Hester returned five kickoffs for a Bears-record 249 yards including a 76-yarder and an 80-yarder. Bennett had 76 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Brandon Marshall had seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. Matt Forte chipped in with 71 yards receiving and 90 yards rushing.

Adrian Peterson ran for 100 yards, but the Vikings (0-2) remained winless at Soldier Field since 2007. They looked as if they might pull this one out after two 13-play drives led to 28-yard field goals by Walsh, turning a 24-21 halftime deficit into a 27-24 advantage in the fourth quarter.

Letroy Guion stripped Forte of the ball near midfield on Chicago's next possession. That led to Walsh's 22-yarder that made it a six-point game, but Cutler and the Bears had one more rally in them. Patterson got this one off to an explosive start, taking advantage of some big holes and sprinting past a lunging Gould on the way to the end zone. The 105-yarder matched the club record set by Percy Harvin last year and was the first kickoff return for a touchdown by a Bears opponent since 2007. --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16.2013 QUOTE OF THE DAY PAGE 11 "I'm so proud of our players for the resilience they showed getting behind 14-0, just slowly and methodically coming back in the game and building up the lead."

Although the Aggies struggled in the first half, they made a great comeback in the second half, barely losing by a single touchdown. Their comeback was led by the one and only Johnny Manziel. For those who don't know, Johnny likes to stir up trouble on and off the field. He's just a guy trying to live the college life, but can't because he is so scrutinized by the media for being the Heisman trophy winner. Honestly, Manziel didn't have a bad game. He threw for 464 yards, ran for 98 yards, and had five touchdowns. By Michael Portman mportman@kansan.com They gave up 568 total yards and 42 points to the Crimson Tide. One of Manziel's interceptions was returned for a touchdown, giving Alabama a total of 49 points for the game.

The Aggies terrible defense also hurt them. game also. On the other side of the ball were the Alabama Crimson Tide. Led by their star quarterback A.J. McCarron, who had 334 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions, the Tide won 49-42. What made it an even more impressive win was the fact that they won on the road, at the historic Kyle Field in College Station. Although their defense started to slip at the end of the game, they were able to hold Manziel enough to prevent him from making a comeback. The Tide forced two interceptions, returning one for a touchdown. The interception by Vinnie Sunseri returned for a touchdown was fun to watch as he sidestepped Johnny Manziel on his way to the end zone. It was a poor display of defense by Manziel and made many people wonder why he can't tackle. KU This football game will be considered one of the best of the entire season, and I will absolutely agree with that. It was a great game. Maybe with the win, the Crimson Tide will be able to shut the media up about Johnny Manziel. It would be nice to hear about something other than Johnny Manziel on ESPN.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs are playing mistake-free football for the first time in years. The Chiefs haven't committed a turnover through the first two weeks, and that may be the biggest reason they've already matched their win total from all of last year. They're off to a 2-0 start for just the second time since 2005. Jamaal Charles had a touchdown run for the Chiefs, who also got impassioned play from their defense for the second straight week. They've allowed only one touchdown through two games after forcing the Cowboys to settle for three field goals by Dan Bailey on Sundav. The most important stop came with 3:55 left. Tony Romo threw three straight incompletions to force Bailey to hit a 53-yarder to pull within 17-16, but the Cowboys defense couldn't get the ball back quickly enough to have a shot at a winning drive. Romo finished 30 of 42 for 298 yards for the Cowboys (1-1). His favorite target was Dez Bryant, who had nine catches for 141 yards and their only touchdown. The Chiefs, coming off an uplifting win at Jacksonville, were amped for Reid's first game as their coach at Arrowhead Stadium. A capacity crowd roared when they rolled onto the field in all-red uniforms, departing from their traditional white pants to signify the start of a new era. They kept right on rolling, too. Kansas City marched 77 yards on the opening series,the highlight coming when Smith crushed 17 yards on third-and-15 and executed a Fosbury Flop over a defender for a first down. Smith capped the drive with a short TD tosst to Charles. That's when the Romo to-Bryant connection got on track. connection goes out. Bryant outwrestled cornerback Brandon Flowers for a 53-yard catch down the Dallas sideline that helped set up Bailey's 51-yard field goal. Later in the quarter, Bryant beat Flowers for a 38-yard reception that set up his own 2-yard TD catch and gave Dallas a 10-7 lead. The Cowboys blocked Ryan Succop's 57-yard field-goal try to carry their lead into halftime, and then Bryant caught three more passes on the first drive of the third quarter to get Dallas in scoring position again. This time, Bailey knocked through a 30-yarder to pad the lead. CHEVROLET The Chiefs answered with their best drive of the game.

Volume 126 Issue 14 kansan.com Monday, September 16, 2013 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS S sports COMMENTARY Kansas offense lacks identity By Blake Schuster bschuster@kansan.com Charlie Weis probably isn't too sure what this Kansas offense is capable of. For that matter, neither is anyone else watching the team. When you turn over a large portion of your roster, how can you judge it after only two games? As nice and flashy as all the "Dream Team" talk sounds, this is still a program that's rebuilding. And at the moment, there isn't too much wrong with that. It's unfair to assume that this team could come out and dominate right away; those are expectations reserved for the players. The rest of us need to be a little more rational or start counting the days until Late Night in the Phog. What we do know is that Jake Heaps is not Dayne Crist - in a good way. Heaps has shown the ability to put a better touch on the ball than Jayhawks' receivers saw all last season. But we also know that the passing game is nowhere near ready to be the cornerstone of this team. "Offensively, we just couldn't get going." Heaps said in a postgame press conference after losing to Rice. "We really just kept shooting ourselves in the foot. Turnovers and missed opportunities, we've got to clean that stuff up." The Jayhawks attempted 28 passes and only connected on 13 of them. The most concerning part of which is that only one Kansas receiver caught a pass. Yes, Tre' Parmalee hauled in just two receptions for 23 yards. What we also know is that Kansas can stack up with the best backfields in the nation. And if the passing game isn't up to par yet, it's time to stick with it. But put yourself in Weis' shoes. When you've built your name in part because of the work you did with Tom Brady in New England, running the ball doesn't seem sexy enough. Unfortunately, this isn't a team that's going to have much appeal at all if it doesn't play to its strengths. We started to see that with the way Tony Pierson was used on Saturday. Weis has said that he sees Pierson as the same type of player that Tavon Austin was for West Virginia last year. On Saturday Pierson gained 95 yards receiving — including a 77-yard haul — but only one rushing attempt for three yards. Instead, Jake Heaps ran 11 times for a loss of 26 yards and while James Sims gained more than one hundred yards, it wasn't enough to push Kansas to victory. "I felt like we needed to give James the ball more to establish the interior line of scrimmage." Weis said, "We hadn't done that." So what can you make of the Kansas offense after two games? It depends what you're trying to get out of it. The Jayhawks aren't capable of passing like an SEC school, and they aren't quite Oregon on the ground either. For Weis and company, their identity may not be too clear at the moment. What you can take away is that there are already more options than last season. And on this long road back to relevance, that alone is a victory. — Edited by James Ogdem FOOTBALL REWIND PAGE 7-8 RICE CAKES VOLLEYBALL PAGE 10 65 Kansas Jayhawks offensive linesman Mike Smithburg (65) looks to the ground as the Kansas Jayhawks are defeated by Rice. FOWL PLAY Owls outrun struggling Jayhawk offense on Saturday's road game MAX GOODWIN mggoodwin@kansan.com Houston -- Moments after a 23-14 Kansas loss to Rice, the Jayhawks players said they were moving on, to next week's matchup with Louisiana Tech in Lawrence, and putting this game in the past. But the disappointment on their faces couldn't be masked. A year ago, the Jayhawks dropped the second game of the season to Rice at home. That was the beginning of an 11-game losing streak that lasted the remainder of the season. "It's not going to spiral," senior linebacker Ben Heeney said of the loss, on Saturday. "We'll be ready for next week." Whether or not Kansas can do what it couldn't last season, and bounce back from a disappointing loss, remains to be determined on future Saturdays. But this one was painful for the Jayhawks, as they had the ball and the lead in the fourth quarter after an interception by cornerback Dexter McDonald at the Rice six-yard line. The game was marked by a slew of dropped passes, as well as two first-half interceptions thrown by quarterback Jake Heaps, one of which was returned 52 yards by Rice linebacker Michael Kutzler After gaining one first down, the Jayhawks were forced to punt from their 24-yard line, and it was blocked giving Rice the ball at midfield. The Owls kicked a 56-yard field goal to take a 16-14 lead. "We shot ourselves in the foot tonight," running back James Sims said. for a touchdown. Sims rushed for 109 yards on 19 carries, but following the game he was focused on why the offensive team failed as a failed as a group. "We were supposed to come out and start the game off fast," Sims said. "We played at kind of a slow pace, which is what they wanted." "We shot ourselves in the foot tonight." their play, despite the outcome of the game. They did a good job, I give them credit. But we're better than what we showed tonight." Rice averaged 31 points per game last season, but was held to 16 by the Jayhawks defense. Coach Charlie Weis said the defense could feel good about "You hold 'em to 16 points, that should be good enough to win." JAMES SIMS Kansas running back Weis said. Heeney agreed, and said the defense played well in all areas. The Jayhawks intercepted two passes, balancing out the two thrown by Heaps in the first half. ney stopped Rice on important possessions. possessions. "It hurts knowing that the defense did a great job out there," James Sims said. "They made stop after stop. We have to capitalize on that." Kansas had an opportunity to end a humiliating streak for the program, a stretch of four years without a win on the road. without a win so it was a chance for this team to separate themselves from the losing ways of past Kansas teams. In the end that chance slipped through the jayhawks' grasp just like so many of the passes that receivers couldn't hold onto against Rice. "We dropped some big ones in this game," Weis said. "The bottom line is, whether you win or lose, it's a group effort." In the locker room, Weis told the players to put the loss to Rice in the past, learn from it and move forward. "We're going to bounce back from this," Sims said. "This is just a bump in the road for us." - Edited by Paige Lytle ISTELLA LIANG The scoring drought extended for the Kansas soccer team (3-4-1), as it fell to San Francisco 1-0 Sunday.

San Francisco freshman midfielder Katherine Woodrum kicked the corner into the middle of the pack in front of the Kansas goal and tapped the ball in for her first goal of the season. But between these two events, something strange happened. As the ball found the crowd of players, it was sent toward the net and Kansas junior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud kicked the ball out. It's possible the ball went over the barcross and out of play, but that "There were plenty of opportunities," coach Mark Francis said. "We've got to figure it out off-sively. We scored one goal in the last four games. You are not going to win many games doing that." Kansas outshot San Francisco 19-12, with 11 of the Jayhawk shots coming in the second half. Junior midfielder Jake Fletcher led the team with six shots. However, the Jayhawks didn't lose because of that one play. It was their inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities that caused their loss. 6 The set-up on many plays could have resulted in a goal, but the execution and finishing touches were not there. call was never made and the ball dropped back onto the field of play before finding the back of the net.

They aren't speaking English, however, as Viennot is using the weekly French Table as an inspiration for students to speak the language outside of the classroom. "It is a relaxed atmosphere to speak French that is non-judgmental." Viennot said. "It's open to everyone, of all ages, and is a very welcoming place" The French Table currently meets at Henry's, located at 11 E. 8th St., on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. According to senior Rachel Forrest, who just returned from studying abroad in Aix-en- Provence, some may be anxious about joining a French conversation that is not school-related. "I would encourage students to come by telling them to not worry, and even just take the first time to listen in." Forrest said. "It's so fun and relaxed, and a great way to make new friends that have something in common with you." Forrest said this shouldn't be a concern, as all levels of French are welcome. The French Table also serves as an outlet for those returning from a French-speaking country to stay proficient in the language. Other than just speaking French, many students discuss "do's and don'ts", share experiences and voice what they wish they would've known about studying abroad. "When I decided I wanted to study abroad, I wanted to perfect my conversational skills to achieve fluency so it wouldn't be awkward when I was trying to express myself in France," recent graduate Milica Rastovic said. Viennot also said he sees a definite correlation between students coming to the French Table, and then aspiring to study abroad later. Senior Jeff Shelton, a first-timer in the group this semester, said the French Table is very inclusive. the french Table is very inclusive "I didn't know anyone when I decided to come, and it seems relaxed." Shelton said. "I'm an Anthropology major, so I've only taken a few French classes. I heard about this and just wanted a place to improve my French." Senior Jabon Shackelford said the atmosphere at Henry's, with its burgundy walls and small, connected rooms, reminds one of a scene in Paris. "The ambience is what makes French Table so great," Shackelford said. "Along with the people, the environment serves as a catalyst for conversation." When thinking back on his first experiences with the French Table, Shackelford said it was a positive part of his college career from the beginning. "I actually heard about this group from my French professor senior year of high school," Shackelford said. "The first time I came I was a freshman. It was an August evening at 7 p.m., I was sitting in a corner, and I remember the sun beaming in. I was super nervous, but I ended up making some of my best friends here."

Edited by Ashleigh Tidwell SAFETY identity theft poses threat to students ICODY KUIPER ckuiper@kansan.com College students are being advised to take more preventative measures when it comes to protecting their personal information. According to a recent press release from the Better Business Bureau, young adults are the most at-risk group for identity theft because of their high use of smartphones and social media. They also found that "friendly fraud" situations, in which friends access smartphones or social media accounts without permission, account for more than 20 percent of on-campus identity theft. University Information Security Officer Rob Arnold said smartphones make students vulnerable to identity theft because they can be easily lost or stolen. According to Consumer Reports, 1.6 million phones were stolen in the U.S. last year alone. Arnold said there are simple Arnold said there are simple steps that can be "I'm really careful about what I put on the Internet now." Although it may seem time consuming, Arnold said taking steps like these will prove beneficial if a victim of identity theft. In cases of "friendly fraud," Arnold said the best preventative measure to take is simply keeping your social media passwords to yourself and carefully considering taken to ensure safety if your phone is lost or stolen, such as encrypting it with a pin number. This is something nearly half of smartphone users don't do, according to a study from Confident Technologies. "It is just a tiny productivity tax you pay when you have to do something like type in a pin," he said. "None of them cost anything, but the time you spend doing these will definitely pay for itself over and over again in the scenario where you would have had your data compromised, your device attacked or one of your accounts used by somebody for malicious purposes." "One of the best reasons to use encryption is that it keeps you comfortable," Arnold said. "You have assurance that your data hasn't been disclosed. It's the difference between losing a locked box or an unlocked box, and if you know the phone is encrypted you can take more time before you take more drastic measures too." The Better Business Bureau also recommends that students keep important documents locked away and have important mail sent to a post office box or their family's home. In addition to encryption, Arnold said students can take other precautions to secure their information. Among those are not reusing passwords across multiple accounts, having a backup plan if you lose your smartphone and taking advantage of security services available on websites like Gmail and Facebook. BAILEY DUMIRE freshman what you share on the internet. social media. Bailey Dumire, a freshman from Seattle, said her parents' identity was stolen five years ago, which has made her more cautious when it comes to her personal information on "I'm really careful about what I put on the Internet now," Dumire said. "I'm not really into sharing stuff on Facebook, so I don't have my age or where I live, and I don't put any of the fine details." Kristen Korona, a senior from Kansas City, works at the Kansas Union Bookstore, which she said has also made her more aware of how easily someone can have their identity stolen. "Working at retail I've had a few instances where people's cards don't match their IDs, so I'm aware that kind of stuff happens more often than you would think," Korona said. "I'm more careful about if I log in at work to my bank or anything with cell phones or computers, I'm just more cautious about logging out now." To learn more about how to protect yourself from identity theft, the University's IT Communications department will be hosting educational activities throughout October for Cyber Security Awareness Month.

Associated Press CRIME ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas meth lab incidents decrease The KB1 reported 143 meth lab incidents statewide in 2012, down from 214 a year earlier. The Wichita Eagle reported (http://bit.ly/1bmMBtx). Such incidents are listed under three categories: seizures of meth chemicals, equipment and labs. WICHITA, Kan. — There were fewer meth lab incidents in Kansas last year compared to 2011, but demand for the drug remains high, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. "The numbers have decreased in terms of manufacturing, but we're still seeing arrests for possession and distribution of methamphetamine in all parts of the state," said Kelly Ralston, KBI special agent in charge. The drop in Kansas follows an apparent nationwide trend. The Drug Enforcement Administration said there were about 12,700 meth lab incidents nationwide in 2012, down 5.5 percent from the 13,390 such Of Kansas' 143 meth lab incidents reported last year, about half were in five counties, in southeast Kansas. Crawford County reported 25 meth lab incidents, which is the highest number in Kansas, according to the KBL. Of the other four, Montgomery County reported 17 meth lab incidents, while Cherokee County had 11. Labette and Neosho counties each had nine. In 2011, Crawford County also had the highest number of meth lab incidents reported in the state, with 45. Montgomery County was second with 36, followed by Labette County with 35 and Cherokee County with 27. Crawford County Sheriff Dan Peak attributed the numbers to the region's poverty, limited drug treatment resources and location.

Michael Graham, student senate treasurer, supports the change and said he thinks it will be good for business school students to have experience with the fund. "I think it's a good use of the fund that will produce a long lasting impact," Graham said.

Edited by Ashleigh Tidwell ENVIRONMENT Colorado evacuees return to find more heartbreak HYGIENE, Colo. — Weary Colorado evacuees have begun returning home after days of rain and flooding, but Monday's clearing skies and receding waters revealed only more heartbreak: toppled houses, upended vehicles, and a striking layer of muck covering everything. Rescuers grounded by weekend rains took advantage of the break in the weather to resume searches for people still stranded, with 21 helicopters fanning out over the mountainsides and the plains to drop supplies and airlift those who need help. The confirmed death toll stood at four, with two women missing and presumed dead. The number of missing people was difficult to pinpoint, but it has been decreasing. The state's count fell Monday from just over 1,200 to about half that. State officials hoped the overall number would continue to drop with rescuers reaching more people and phone service being restored. "You've got to remember, a lot of these folks lost cellphones, landlines, the Internet tour to five days ago." Gov. John Hickenlooper said on NBC's "Today" show. "I am very hopeful that the vast majority of these people are safe and sound." Residents of Hygiene returned to their small community east of the foothills to find mud blanketing roads, garages, even the tops of fence posts. The raging St. Vrain River they fled three days earlier had left trucks in ditches and carried items as far as 2 miles downstream. "My own slice of heaven, and it's gone," Bill Marquedt said after finding his home destroyed. Residents immediately set to sweeping, shoveling and rinsing, but the task of rebuilding seemed overwhelming to some. "What now? We don't even know where to start," said Genevieve Marquez. "It's not even like a day by day or a month thing. "I want to think that far ahead but it's a minute by minute thing at this point. And, I guess now it's just help everyone out and try to get our lives back," she added. In the mountain towns, major roads were washed away or covered by mud and rock slides. NATION Hamlets like Glen Haven were reduced to debris and key infrastructure like gas lines and sewers systems were destroyed. Hundreds of homes around Estes Park, next to Rocky Mountain National Park, could be unreachable and uninhabitable for up to a year, town administrator Frank Lancaster said. Associated Press Navy Yard shooting shakes victims of Fort Hood attack ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — Kathy Platoni stood in a doctor's office trying to hide her shaking from the other patients in the waiting room as she watched the news unfold about a shooting at the Washington Navy Yard. Memories from a similar day nearly five years ago came flooding back, a day in 2009 when an Army psychiatrist opened fire at Fort Hood in Texas, killing 13 people, several of them Platoni's friends. "It's surreal. I'm stunned to the bone. I mean here we are again," Platoni said in a phone interview Monday. Platoni, an Army reservist, still struggles with images of her friend, Capt. John Gaffaney, bleeding to death at her knees at Fort Hood. On Monday, she watched the reports of an attack at another military installation. This time, authorities say a former Navy man opened fire on office workers at the Washington Navy Yard. Thirteen people were killed, including the gunman. "I was trying not to let the other patients in the waiting room see me shake, but I was shaken to the core," said Platoni. Platoni just last month had relived the Fort Hood shooting, as she sat through a weekslong military trial for Nidal Hassan. He was convicted and sentenced to death for the attack. "The fact that this was on a military installation, it just hits way too close to home," Platoni said. "To know what these poor individuals and families are going to go through, that's the worst of it ... and I wish I could be there to help." Keely Cahill, whose father, Michael Cahill, was shot and killed after he lifted a chair to try to stop the Fort Hood rampage, nearly broke down as she talked about Monday's attack. "This is exactly the same thing," Cahill said, her voice cracking with emotion. "I know exactly what those families are feeling."

Where is Matt Kleinmann now? Blue Man Group tho Addressing mental health remains vital priority I have a friend. Let's call him Cass, because that's his name. Cass is a great human being. He's not perfect; not even close. He loves adventures. He does wild things and periodically, he rolls fat blunts the likes of which would make Snoop jealous. Yet Cass is great in the sense that he has charisma that can only be likened to a black hole. People are drawn in and can't help but to want to be around him. He would do anything for his friends. One day, it was my first semester at the University. I woke up feeling grouchy. I needed to do something drastic and stupid. It was my freshman year and the first time in my life I'd ever had money, or at least a credit card. I decided to go to Los Angeles for the rest of my life. I got my poor roommate to drive me to the airport and told him he could have all of my stuff that I hadn't packed. On my way there, I called Cass to tell him my plan. As opposed to being shocked and telling me I was an idiot, he said, "Sounds cool, man, I'll go too." Less than two hours after I woke up, we were on our way to spending the rest of our lives in L.A. Clearly it didn't end up being the rest of our lives, but it made one thing clear. Cass is empathetic. He knew I needed someone by my side without me having to ask. Without me even knowing myself. He has a superhuman ability to connect with people. When I went over there I'd always find him watching really depressing documentaries. He would always say something like, "What's wrong with the world?" He wanted to help. I remember the day as vividly as if it were yesterday. On April 21, 2015, I got a call from Cass' brother asking if I'd seen him. I'd been wrapped up in the waning semester and I hadn't. It had been about a day and a half since anyone had heard from him, and he had missed work. He loved work. He sold cars here in Lawrence. It suited him. He loved talking to everyone and meeting people. There were nights when we went out to the bars and when it was time to go, wed find him outside talking to some homeless guy about life. I started calling everyone who I knew, hoping that someone had heard from him. Everyone had the same reply: "Not for a couple days." I started getting desperate. I called the jail. I mean, maybe he'd gone a bit overboard on an outing and he'd gotten arrested. I was actually hoping that my friend was in jail. By Nick Jackson njackson@kansan.com I called the hospital. I was more desperate this time. It was insane. I was thinking, "Please let my friend be sick. Hurt. Let him be in a comal! I don't care just don't let him be..." Finally, I ran out of ideas. I looked on the Internet and found a website that had a police scanner for the local area. And I sat. I sat there for hours staring into space, but I heard nothing about Cass. Maybe he had dropped everything and gone to L.A. again. It be had to that, right? Then it came over the scanner in the crappy, static-infused tone: "We have a code black, East 1950 Road." East 1950 Road? That was where he lived, but a code black? That could be anything. But then the radio conversation continued, and I just sat and listened about how he'd been found in his car. He was dead on arrival, and had been dead for a while. I remember they said they needed an ambulance but there was no reason to hurry. Oh really? No reason to hurry? Here were these asshole talking about "The young male, DOA," and they didn't give a damn who he was. They didn't remember the time he kissed a dude to get an actress' phone number at the Renaissance Festival. They weren't there when he played the best football game of his high school career despite barely being able to stand from mono. And they certainly weren't fortunate enough to see him dressed in one of his mom's wigs to play "Treatrunks," the elf in a "Lord of the Rings"-based movie we made in my pasture. I understand that they have to stay disconnected, but I just wish I was there. Cass had killed himself. Cass had killed himself. I guess there is really no way to know if things might have been different if I'd been less focused on school and a little more focused on friends. Everyone wonders about that probably, but I'm not mad. I could never be upset with him. I understand where he was coming from. I just don't know why. I want to know what he was thinking. it runs through my mind every day, and the only strong theory I can come up with is that he felt all the negativity in the world to the point where it was just too much. He wanted to help, but realized there wasn't anything he could do. He didn't want to help one person at a time, he wanted to heal everyone all at once. I've tried to find a lesson in it, and I feel awful saying it, but maybe we should be more selfish. I don't know. Maybe if Cass had been talking about his problems instead of trying to work out everyone else's, he would still be here. If Cass had expressed himself when it was becoming too much then maybe Id still have my best friend. Maybe he needed to just let things go. It's heroic to take on so much of other people's pain, but it's like my grandma always tells me, "Even iron wears out." BODY IMAGE Nick Jackson is a junior majoring in chemical engineering from Lawrence. Respect different body types,accept your own I've been skinny my entire life. When you look at me, you instantly know it. I'm obsolete as a male. I don't deserve your respect, admiration, company or acknowledgment. At least, that's how I feel when you remind me, "Oh my God, your legs are so tiny!" legs are to try How should I respond to that? It was probably not your intention, but you just insulted me to my face. It's actually a common occurrence that someone straight up tells me about how insignificant my body is. A lot of people don't understand that being underweight isn't as light of a load as it appears. My confidence is always affected. Clothes hardly ever fit. Girls overlook me. It follows me every second of the day. I've been laughed at outright for being underweight. That's when it is easier to deal with—when I know that it's just an attempt to get under my skin. What really does get to me is when people have the nerve to let me know I should be thankful to be thin – girls would kill to be that skinny; I have the freedom to eat whatever I want; I don't sweat as much, etc, etc. I've heard it all. I should be I've heard it all. I should be happy to be underweight, right? Wrong. Lines like those are just an excuse to avoid understanding the underlying issues that I By Dalton Boehm dboehm@kansan.com constantly deal with. The worst part is, if I do get upset and say something, I'm regarded as being sensitive- another unattractive trait that only emphasizes my weakness and further destroys my psyche. I'm told to sit down, shut the hell up and take the punches with a smile on my face. Sure, my body type isn't grotesquely unhealthy. It does have some benefits, but I would still switch with most people in an instant. Inconsiderate people would suggest that if I just put in some effort, I could gain weight. He tried for the last three years I've tried for the last three years and gained five pounds.It's not that simple. I have high cholesterol,high blood pressure,a fast metabolism and heart disease in my family that prevents me from devouring any food in sight. Oh,and a towering 6" (or more) frame that only adds to the complications. What if I have scoliosis,cystic fibrosis,hyperthyroidism or one of the other many common diseases that make weight gain seemingly impossible -or cause massive weight loss? Fortunately I don't. I've learned to cope and accept my body. It's no longer a paralyzing strike when someone tells me these things, but it still stings. It's made me aware that behind hidden doors, everyone has their own problems and insecurities. I'm not implying that skinny men have it worse than anybody else, but that everybody has it bad. No person should have to feel inadequate or alienated for something that's so far out of their control. We should have a social obligation not to stomp on each other's toes. Complete strangers wield unknowingly powerful influence over others. Consider how impactful compliments can be. In a joking exchange with a new friend, I said I was "going for the freshman 25." Instead of just letting me accept this, she said "You don't need to! You're huge!" The compliment reverberated in my head for days and made me feel great. By inspiring positivity in others, it spreads and make the world a better place- if even for a few people. That's not to say that everyone is perfect and nice and that if we all just told each other that we look nice once in awhile, everything would be fine and dandy. It's never that easy. Simply put, it's your duty to try to understand the human beings walking amongst you.

Follow us on Twitter @KansanOpinion Tweet us your opinion EDUCATION Eastern studies classes deserve greater attention W who owns the most U.S. Debt? China. Who owns the second most? Japan The Middle East has the greatest security dilemmas of this generation, Asia is spending the most on military modernization, and the U.S. is expanding its own businesses there. Indeed, there is an abundance of evidence that suggests Asia will become the praxis of international politics in the coming decades. Unfortunately, the U.S. education system is failing to prepare students for this dramatic shift in power from the West to the East. That is because the U.S. education system is too Eurocentric. Eurocentricism is defined as placing disproportionate emphasis on European history and culture without appreciating a wider worldview; in this case, a nuanced understanding of the East. In doing so, the U.S. is preparing its students for the wrong global theater. Not even our beloved university is free from this constricting worldview. Perhaps one need look no further than to our own the University Core, where "Chinese literature in Translation" is mysteriously left off the list of approved courses for Goals 3 and 4, while French and German versions of this class were all approved. In fact, the number of approved French and German courses vastly outnumbers the approved Chinese and Japanese courses. The University also still offers two Western Civ classes vs. one Eastern Civ class. But take a look at the broader picture: European perspectives and biases percolate throughout American education. Coverage of Japanese history ranges from Imperial Japan to (if you're lucky) modern Japan. The years before ing of the task. In fact, there are many good reasons to begin to shift our attention to the East. The collective economies of Asia are growing at six to seven times the rate of their European counterparts. Their economic blocks (part of BRICS, ASEAN to name a few) are flourishing while EU institutions suffer. This isn't a new trend. Asian economies grew at twice the rate of European ones between 1985-1995, and that gap is only widening, because the IMF forecasts an excess of six percent growth for Asian economies in 2013. Opponents of this argument would suggest that such depth is simply impossible given the length of a student's education. Even if you believe this argument, you must recognize that choosing a nuanced, Eurocentric curriculum tacitly suggests that deeper knowledge of the West is of greater value than a rich understanding of the East - which it's not. A mastery of Asian history and culture will do you well - especially since many businesses are looking towards Asia for expansion. Your competition, namely everyone else on the planet, is probably more versed in Eastern Civilization than you are, simply because of the educational system they have been through. If you want to increase your chances in the job market, go east. Consider that next time you decide which "civ" class to take. and in-between are a historical blur. Christopher Columbus discovered the New World in 1492 (never mind the Native Americans or the Vikings).

LOCATION PROPERTIES (785) 841-7300 www.HomesForLease.org MGMT album sacrifices groove for experimentation Ever since their kaleidoscopic debut album "Oracular Spectacular" was released in 2007, MGMT have romanticized the idea of two ordinary dudes with synthesizers producing electronic gold in their dorm room. But while everyone and their 13-year-old sister may have the hit-trifecta of "Kids," "Time to Pretend" and "Electric Feel" on their iPod, those mega-singles are the brain rather than the heart of a band rooted in rock psyche-dela. COLUMBIA ALBUM REVIEW STYLZ UNLIMITED HAIR SALON--CLOTHING CONSIGNMENT YOU ARE ONLY 16 YEARS OLD. With their new, self-titled album out today, core MGMT members Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser continue to move away from the electronic pop sound of their first album. But unlike the 2010 release "Congratulations," this latest offering lacks any sort of dance-ready groove—tending instead toward incessant trippiness. Listeners can even buy a deluxe version of "MGMT" accompanied by "The Optimizer," which is By Duncan McHenry dmchenry@kansan.com a visual complement to the music featuring CCI animated video a visual complement to the music featuring CGI-animated video. While "The Optimizer" sounds like a cool concept, it comes across as a feeble attempt to salvage what really isn't a very good album. It's as if, after a couple years of turning knobs on their Roland keyboards and strumming guitars, VanWyngarden and Goldwasser turned to each other and said, "Crap, man, we didn't actually make any music." A couple of tracks, namely "Mystery Disease" and "I Love You Too, Death," are less songs than sprawling, abrasive beats with inaudible vocals. The whining guitar in the background of "An Orphan of Fortune" is garbled and sounds more like a dying cat than a mind-bending sound effect. The album is filled with so much repetition, and many of the songs are so devoid of structure, that it becomes boring. Even though "Alien Days" and "Astro-mancy" are attention grabbing with rumbling basslines and the usual storm of whirs and blips that MGMT love so much, they ultimately lose their appeal with sheer monotony. At their best, MGMT have drawn comparisons to the psychedelic rock sound of Pink Floyd. At their worst, the thought of two guys messing around on a synthesizer with a crumpled baggie of mushrooms nearby doesn't seem too far off. Fans looking for the rhythm and catchiness of the band's past hits will be disappointed with "MGMT."

The series was created by Roger Black and Waco O'Guint, and produced by Black, O'Guin and Daniel Tosh. The series recently premiered its second season on Sept. 3. The show received high ratings on the premiere of the new season and continues to surprise audiences with offensive content. In a phone press conference on Sept. 16, college media was able to talk to Tom Kenny, who is known for being the voice of SpongeBob, and Brickleberry's head ranger, Woody, as well as Jerry Minor from Eastbound & Down and voices Denzel on Brickleberry. 3 Q: What is different about the second season of "Brickle-berry" compared to the first? I: It looks better. I was talking to the creators and I don't know what they did with the animation but it does look brighter for some reason, there's one thing, I think there been a few little tweaks with the writing staff. So, I think they've just gotten better with it. I: I think, you know, you find out how to build your machine both in terms of content and execution. Like Jerry said, when I saw the [new] episode, the animation looks, to me, remarkably better than it did the first season. I think you're just getting your paradigm down better. Also, I think, it's the second season, the show has done well, the season premiere did really well amongst its candid demographic. Everybody settles down and it allows you to make the show that it's supposed to be. Q: When it comes to doing live action and TV, I know Tom. you have done a lot of both, is there one you prefer over the other and if there is, why so? T: Well you know, I started out in stand up and on camera stuff, and then I started doing voice-over. I very quickly realized I liked it better, it was more fun. I thought it was more suited to me, its personality and it also played to my skillset better. You could think of it as a batting average. I could go out and audition for voice-overs and book a much, much, much higher percentage than I ever did on camera where you're kind of a prisoner of what you look like. Whereas in animation as long as you sound like all these different characters, you're physicality doesn't matter, nor does your age, you know, says the 51-year-old guy. I realized that for my personality, and in terms of career longevity, and in terms of having a functional life, if you don't care about being "famous," then animation is the place to be. Q: What do you think your favorite moment, this season, is? T: The episode that they showed at the premiere party was when Woody had his past career as a 70's/80's porn star. There's a scene in there where they go to a porn awards [show], like the Oscars, called Boney's, and the big statues on either side of the stage were very much like the Oscars statuettes, like for the Academy Awards, but with one very important addition. I just can't believe the stuff they were able to get through. Like, yeah man. There's more weiner per square inch in this episode than there has ever been on TV. I think that's a victory of sorts, you know? Park. What do you think makes Brickleberry stand out from those types of show? What's different about it or what do you enjoy about it that other shows don't have? Q: I've seen a lot of comparisons to Family Guy and South J: I think both of those shows take pride in their thought about the subjects they're handling, and I think that this show does the opposite: it takes pride of its reckless handling of sex subjects. T: Both Family Guy and South Park... have the fingerprints of the creators on them. Seth [McFarlane] definitely has his own point of view and way of looking at things and approach to comedy. Like it or not, or don't like it, it's been very, very successful, and the same with South Park. And I think Roger and Waco, the creators of this show, definitely have a comedic sensibility that is uniquely theirs that they came by very honestly. All those shows are different because the creators of all these shows are different. The Family Guy sensibility is way different than the South Park sensibility. And they're all way different than the Brickleberry sensibility. But they're all three very strong, identifiable sensibilities. Q: You've done all of these different shows and voice work, what do you do usually in warm-ups before you go record a voice track? J: What you should do is take care of your voice, which means not smoking, trying not to get sick, and staying away from things that will give you allergies. This year I had some problems... COMEDY CENTRAL I got sick this summer. And when I came back it was really tough. I forgot that you have to really take care of your voice on your down time. and stuff, we're people-pleasing weirdos so you want to do a good job for the people who hired you so you'll go to the max, go to the wall, and crash through the wall to do what they want... T: We all forget that, like Jerry, I'm probably someone that should have some sort of regimen or routine and because I'm stupid, I don't. But because we're actors I'm on six or seven other series that I have to keep my voice in tune for... I've had to run to the cartoon voice doctor and he'll put a camera up my nose, down my throat and he's asked me, "Do you work every day?" And I go, "Yeah." And he goes, "Well, duh, if you go to the gym and just work one muscle every day for six hours a day, of course it's going to bust once in awhile." I kind of changed my ways a little bit, like Jerry did. I try to get a decent amount of sleep, not drinking caffeine all day because it dries out your vocal chords, not eating late at night. There are probably things Jerry and I should be doing for our voices because I don't want to blow it out but it's an effort. You've got to keep your voice right for when you need it. Q: How have your past acting careers effected your presentation on Brickleberry? J: It's a lot easier for me to get into a characterization that I probably couldn't do physically... It's a lot of fun. T: Everything that you've done in the past in a way kind of goes in the blender when you're doing something like this. I think that having a background in stand up or sketch comedy where you get thrown in to playing these really broadly drawn characters that are broadly disposable... You have to make a couple really strong decisions and commit to them, and I think that's very much put me in a good stead with voice acting. You just go to go in with what they're giving you, the drawing and the characters' description, and just go balls to the wall, pedal to the metal, go for it and hope they like it. And if not, oh well, I have another audition tomorrow.

Ultimate Frisbee, known simply as "Ultimate" by many, is a sport not too different from basketball or football. The game allows for seven people from each team to be on the field at a given time, and the goal is to get the disc from where team A gains possession to team B's end zone. The trick is that the disc can't touch the ground, and players must remain stationary when holding it. The sport has been gaining popularity over the last ten years, and it's starting to show at KU. Kimmi has reason to be excited about the numbers, as he's in his "We've been getting big numbers, fifth year on the team and his first year as captain.

After James Loney and Evan Longoria both had RBI singles against Garza, Myers drove in two with a double off Jason Frasor. Garza, who was the MVP of the 2008 AL championship series when Tampa Bay beat Boston, pitched against the Rays for first time since being traded to the Chicago Cubs on Jan. 8, 2011. Texas obtained the right-hander from the Cubs on July 22. Texas pulled even at 2 during the fifth when Mitch Moreland, mired in an 0 for 22 slide, doubled and scored on Ian Kinsler's double.

Over the weekend, the Kansas women's tennis team was in Midland, Texas, competing in the Midland Invitational. Head Coach Todd Chapman said the Jayhawks did not have the success they had hoped for as they struggled in the first two days of the tournament and were unable to advance, but they are still thinking positive. Chapman also said he was pleased with the team's overall performances, even though no one "stood out" more than the rest. Chapman said effort and passion for the game are some of their strongest points, and added that this is definitely a formula for mid-season success. The team is ready to return to practice, and will now begin preparing for the ITA All-American Invitational. Tournament Break Down: "Everyone had their ups and downs,but what really stood out to me was [our] willingness to compete," Chapman said. "We never quit and we made adjustments all weekend." FRIDAY: In the first round of doubles play, all Kansas tennis teams were defeated. Senior Claire Dreyer and sophomore Anastasija Trubica lost a nail-biter 8-7 to the women from Abilene Christian. Dreyer and sophomore Maria Jose Cardona were the only two players to advance out of the first round of singles play. Dreyer beat Giada D'Ortona from UT-Arlington in straight sets 6-2, 6-1. Cardona defeated Claire Williams of Texas Tech 7-5, 6-1. Trubica and junior Maria Belen Ludueña lost two very tight singles matches in tiebreaks. Later that day, Dryer and Cardona were both defeated. Chapman made it clear that the team was experiencing "some first tournament jitters." SATURDAY: matches. These are very important because, while they did not have any effect on the tournament, they helped the Kansas tennis team earn a favorable seeding in the upcoming ITA Invitational. Dryer and Cardona were able to get huge victories against Texas Tech rivals Beatriz Santos and Sarah Toti, respectively. inere were a lot more positive things to take from day two of this year's Midland Invitational. Luduena was able to advance to the quarterfinals of the consolation bracket until she fell to Penn State's Samantha Tutelman. It was close, but Luduena lost 1-6, 7-6, 13-11. Dreyer, Cardona and Trubica were all able to win their additional SUNDAY: On the final day of the tournament, the Jayhawks participated in more additional matches for ITA Invitational seeding. Ludueña won her match against TCU's Seda Arentekin while senior Paulina Los was able to pick up a victory against Texas Tech's Sarah Toti. Overall, the team fared pretty well against in-conference play this weekend. Chapman said the team improved a lot over the weekend, and he hopes that can carry over into the rest of the season. "If we continue to give the same effort we have the first three weeks, we can definitely surprise some people this year," Chapman said.

SAN THE MORNING BREW When fantasy football goes too far - With the second week of the NFL season now finished, "owners" of fantasy football teams are starting to get a glimpse of what they can expect from their squad the rest of the season. For those owners that had the displeasure of starting 0-2, tougher fantasy Sundays will likely be ahead of you. However, while some fantasy teams sitting at 0-2 make the current Jaguars look like the 2007 Patriots, others have had the unfortunate luck of being hit with the injury bug. Where there's an injury there's an owner praying the player will "come right back," or "only miss two weeks," when many of these injuries are possibly career or even life-threatening. By Matt Corte mcorte@kansan.com During the Chargers at Eagles game this past Sunday, receiver Malcom Floyd of the Chargers was sandwiched between Eagles defenders Nate Allen and DeMeco Ryans, causing Floyd to be carted off the field with a serious neck injury. As players gathered in a large circle praying on the field for Floyd, it occurred to me that many fantasy owners were doing the exact opposite by cursing under their breath, questioning why they started him over another player. If you were one of these people, fantasy football may not be for you. Everyone gets competitive sometimes, and fantasy football may be the one thing that some fans can still compete in. But there's a line crossed when an owner's point total matters more than a player's well-being. Some owners will cross that line but go no further, while others embarrass themselves in a completely different manner. With many NFL players now being vocal members of Twitter, fantasy owners sometimes feel they have the right to question a player's injury or even bully them by sending malicious tweets. Unucky for Ray Rice, he was the player this week that had to endure the pointless onslaught of tweets directed at his @ RayRice27 account from owners asking why he didn't return from his injury, and others swearing at him for not scoring a touchdown. It's hard to stoop lower than berating a player through a social media website, and it only damages the relationship players have with their fans, not to mention how they feel about fantasy football. This was evident when Rice responded through a tweet after his game, in which he stated, "I was a fan of fantasy football until today so KU many spiteful and hateful words I will love you all God Bless great win today Ravens" it's clear that Rice was hurt by the words spoken against him. However, thanks to his tweet, hopefully fantasy owners who feel the need to harass players via Twitter will realize that the health and feelings of players matter more than the points their team scored. team secured For those who have fantasy football teams, good luck the rest of the season. And remember: it's only a game. —Edited by Duncan McHenry This week in athletics Tuesday Men's Golf Ram Masters Invitational All day Fort Collins, Colo.

Many uncertainties exist in Big 12 ASSOCIATED PRESS It's probably a good thing that nearly half the league has the weekend off. DES MOINES, Iowa — The season is three weeks old, and yet there seems to be as many questions marks in the Big 12 now as there were in August. The 14th-ranked Sooners (3-0) will use it to re-evaluate their quarterback situation. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU and Iowa State started by weeks on Monday—and each is doing its best to take advantage of its early-season break. Oklahoma went with Blake Bell at quarterback last week after Trevor Knight was sidelined with a bruised knee. All Bell did was earn Big 12 offensive player of the week honors in a 51-20 rout of Tulsa. Bell, who was surprisingly beaten out by Knight in fall camp, was 27 of 37 passing for 413 yards and four touchdowns in his first career start. The competition was very close. He did keep a positive attitude and kept working weekly. He was set to play, kept working hard and he knew if he had his opportunity he was going to be prepared for it," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. The Sooners now have an extra week to allow Knight to get healthy. Stoops said Monday that Knight's status for the game at Notre Dame on Sept. 28 won't be clarified until later this week. But it also appears that Bell will be given every opportunity to wrestle the job away from Knight regardless of health. "Blake's the guy right now, but we'll see how things go," Stoops said. "That's just something that we'll see as time goes. But right now, there isn't an issue." Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy would rather have one bye week in the middle of the season rather than one this week and another in October. Still, the Cowboys (3-0) head into their first break on a roll after pounding Lamar 59-3. Gundy noted improvements in tackling. special teams coverage and overall fundamentals against the FCS Cardinals. Oklahoma State, ranked No. 11 in the nation, has two weeks to prepare for their Big 12 opener at West Virginia (2-1) on Sept. 28. The Mountaineers don't have it nearly so easy. They face regional rival Maryland in Baltimore on Saturday. "I think we're about where we would expect to be. We obviously have a plan for our football team." Gundy said. "It's obviously a long-term plan. It's to try to make us the best team we can in the end of November and December, and I feel like were close to being on track." For TCU, the bye will give it additional time to bounce back from a 1-2 start. The Horned Frogs were 4 of 16 on third-down conversions and picked up 13 penalties for 115 yards in a 20-10 loss to Texas Tech yards in a 20-10 loss — which helped the Red Raiders snag the final spot in this week's Top 25. TCU is allowing nearly 25 points a game, is ninth in the Big 12 with 190.7 yards passing per game and has just two TD passes this season. The Horned Frogs host SMU on Sept. 28. "I think it's a combination of a lot of things. Obviously the coaches always get blamed. But we've had 2-3 days of talking about things we need to do. We need to tweak some things, change some things around. But we got to get some guys in position where we have people open that will catch the ball. The other night we could have run the ball a little bit more effectively," TCU coach Gary Patterson said. Iowa State bizarre early season schedule includes a pair of byes following by back-to-back Thursday night games. The Cyclones can only hope their second bye in September will help them turn things around. 31 7 06 ASSOCIATED PRESS Oklahoma State running back Jeremy Smith, top center, jumps for a touchdown over the back of lineman Calvin Barnett, bottom, while Lamar defensive back Courtlin Thompson, right, watches during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Stillwater, Okla., Sept. 14, 2012 KANSANCLASSIFIEDS HOME housing SALE SALE announcements for sale ...

Maybe it's time someone attempts to ban Rice from the Kansas football schedule. It's not healthy for Kansas fans. For the second straight year, Kansas came up short against Rice. The Owls managed to hold the Jayhawks to two touchdowns and 270 yards of total offense. Last year, Rice gave up 54 points to Marshall, 56 points to Louisiana Tech and 49 points to Tulane. 159 points allowed in three games to non-BCS teams and Kansas couldn't at least put up a third touchdown? Rice's defense improved as the year progressed and returned almost all major contributors, including Conference USA Preseason Defensive Player of the Year Phillip Gaines. Rice is not a bad team. However, it is a team that relies on its offense to simply outscore the other team. At the very least, it should have been a high-scoring affair that instilled confidence in our revamped attack. Nevertheless, instead of putting pressure on Rice's offense to score, Kansas' offense was as lifeless as a Jack·O·Lantern in December. Jake Heaps failed to impress again, but that is almost more the fault of his supporting cast. His receivers failed to get any separation from the Rice corners. When they did get separation, they treated the football like it had chickenpox. Tight end Jimmay Mundine, who Weits told in the offseason, had two key drops that would have resulted in first downs. One could have even been a touchdown. With the receivers' poor performance, it comes as no surprise that most of Heaps' completions were to the backs. As I feared, Weis didn't use his running backs to their full potential. Instead of implementing the relentless five-headed attack he used against South Dakota, Weis relied heavily on James Sims. Granted, Sims had a strong game with 109 yards rushing on 19 carries, but Weis largely ignored his superior depth. Last week against South Dakota, 31 carries were by running backs not named James Sims. Against Rice, Sims had all but four of the carries. Weis also tried to use Heaps in option situations, which were about as successful as Eddie Murphy's music career. There is no reason that Darrian Miller only got two carries or that Tony Pierson only rushed it once. If you take away ten of Heaps' throws and replace them with rushes, the outcome of this game could have been very different. Instead, Weis opted to throw the ball almost 30 times. He also decided to give Heaps more rushes than any of Sims' backups. Weis clearly is planning on riding Heaps and his receivers, for better or for worse. In the South Dakota game, the rushing attack was able to overcome the woes of the passing game. Against Rice, it was a different story. Maybe Heaps will get more comfortable in the offense. Maybe the receivers will succumb to fewer drops. Or maybe, Kansas should just stop scheduling Rice.

Bill Self Boot Camp started Monday and will run through the remainder of the week GUT CHECK Men's basketball team grinds through Bill Self Boot Camp BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com "Nobody threw up." Andrew White III said. "So it was a real good experience." Bill Self can run practice without basketballs and make his players lift weights until their arms fall off, but after one day of his famed "Boot Camp" he's going to need to work a little harder to see what his team is made of. Alas, there's still time for Self to make his team sick. For the remainder of the week the Kansas men's basketball team will go through 5:30 a.m. workouts before taking a break for classes, then getting back to the gym. Keep that in mind if you happen to see any players sleepwalking down lajhawk Boulevard, and perhaps help them look both ways before they cross the street. You can be sure they'll need as much assistance as possible. "It's a different kind of tired, you know what I mean?" former Kansas player that much.

"I think that's what really brings a lot of guys together." Think about that the next time you consider walking onto the team. It doesn't matter how much playing time you get, Self's standards hardly change. Yep, nothing like running wind sprints before the sun comes up to reaffirm the concept of teamwork. But, for those who've been through Self's Boot Camp before, it's a chance for voices to become a little louder and set the tone for the year ahead. "There's so much communication going on today," White III said. "Just to make sure everybody was getting through it at the pace we need to have it done." White III also said there's a part of him that enjoys the process. When the Jayhawks are battling through tough games he'll think back to all these workouts to keep his teammates motivated. With a heavy non-conference schedule, Kansas must be ready to start grinding out wins early. The jayhawks face the Duke Blue Devils just two games into the season, and head to the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament just a couple of weeks after that. The tough competition has made Self's Boot Camp more vital this year. Fortunately, even the new-comers have been able to keep up so far — although there's still plenty of time to draw the ire of Self. "We didn't have to do much extra," White III said. "That's always good for the first day." Edited by Duncan McHenry FOOTBALL Kansas gains insight, still room for improvement IMAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com COUNTRY AWAY. As dishearingen as the final result was for the Jayhawks in the loss to Rice, Charlie Weis saw several encouraging signs. On defense, the secondary held up in its first true test of the season. Weis said the unit played bet ter than at any point last season, and with three sacks there was plenty of pressure on the quarterback. "Our defense was great," Weis said in his Monday teleconference. Additionally, James Sims rushed for more Charlie Weis shares a small victory with an assistant coach during the game at Rice last Saturday. Kansas lost 14-23. It was the second straight week that dropped passes have been a major issue, and a dropped pass on third down can be the same as a turnover in some cases.

Jake Heaps threw two interceptions, but more costly still were the six dropped passes by receivers.

These were major strengths in Saturday's game, but they couldn't make up for the disappointing passing game. "The problem you have is, when you're intermittent in the passing game then you don't score points and you end up losing," Weis said. Intermittent is a nice way to describe the Kansas passing attack them for key first downs, and one of them for a walk-in touchdown," Weis said. "That is significant." Significant enough that Weis will consider whether changes in personnel are necessary. "We'll address the guys that are dropping them and then look to see if there's other guys that can play instead of them." Weis said. So far, Weis has no concerns with Heaps. It can be frustrating for a quarterback to see his passes drop to the ground despite being perfectly thrown, but from Weis's perspective Heaps has handled the situation as best as he can. Heaps is one of the leaders on the team that Weis believes he can count on to handle unfavorable situations in the right way. "There's no problem with Jake, he knows that is part of the deal." Weis said. "All his frustrations are because he's trying to be error free himself." The statistics, however, were unimpressive again for Heaps. He threw for 157 yards and one "Throw those on the completion category and tall them up and look at the percentage and the yards there and all the sudden you're saying he had a heck of a game." Weis said. touchdown, along with the two interceptions, completing 13 of 28 passes. The drops made up six of those 15 incompletions. Weis went a step further on Monday, and said that during practice passing was nearly perfect. "Well, I mean, when you have a practice on Wednesday when you complete 29 of 31 passes without a dropped ball and then you go into a game and there's a bunch of them, it's just not consistent with what is happening in practice," Weis said.

"How America Pays for College 2013," a new study from Sallie Mae, found that parents contributed to 27 percent of their children's college expenses in 2013, which is down from 36 percent in 2010. NSAN jack Martin, a spokesman for the University, said the decrease can be attributed to multiple factors, but it all comes back to the recession of 2009. love a you thou go of with "ve," "If you look at family median income, it dropped during the Great Recession and is only now starting to reach pre-recession levels again," Martin said. "There's been an increase in student tuition as [the] state's funding has decreased too, also correlated to the recession, so that puts the price of education on to students and families where previously it would have been covered by state funding." According to the National Center for Education Statistics, students at the University have required more Federal student loan money than in years past. The number of students who received loans rose from 40 percent in 2008 to 45 percent in 2011; something Martin said the Tidwell University is trying to compensate for. "The price of college education is a concern for universities just as it is for students and families," Martin said. "We made a significant increase in scholarships for students, accompanied by the change to four-year renewable scholarships, which will enable students to know what sort of scholarships they can qualify for and they can plan out finances going forward, rather than being in a situation where each year they're wondering. 'Am I going to get this scholarship to be able to go to school or am I going to need to get a job?'" need to get a job. The study also found that some of the decrease in parent funding was made up for by "free money" like scholarships and grants, which now covers 30 percent of college costs, a five percent increase since 2010. Even with more scholarships and grants, outstanding student loans are still reaching unprecedented numbers. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, student loan debt in the U.S. is approaching $1.2 trillion, which makes it the second highest consumer debt in the U.S. Austin Flohrschutz, a sophomore from Topeka, pays for his college expenses with a combination of loans, his own savings and help from his parents. Flohrschutz said he understands why families are having difficulty paying for tuition, but it's unfair to put the burden on students. "I definitely think the government should be helping out a lot more with that, especially if they want more educated people to have engineering jobs that are being taken from overseas," Flohrschutz said. Maggie Carter, a freshman from Olathe, is paying for her tuition mostly with student loans and a little help from her grandparents. She said the uncertainty of college expenses makes it difficult for students to plan how to pay for school. payr school. "The student loans didn't end up coming for me as much as I thought they would and scholarships didn't come as much as I thought either," Carter said. "So I think maybe universities should be a little bit more upfront about the costs to make it easier for students to save for college." Carter thinks it may be more beneficial for students to pay for their own schooling, rather than their parents. "I'm not really one for credit, but I think it might be better for students to pay for it themselves in the long run," Carter said. "If they do that, they're probably going to appreciate their education more."

BOOK REVIEW MY NOTORIOUS LIFE A.Normal KATE MANNING PAGE 5 STOP SPOILERS PAGE 6 CAMPUS Sexual Assault Awareness Week educates students ASHLEIGH TIDWELL atidwell@kansan.com Each year more than 300,000 people in the United States are victims of sexual assault. Even more hunning is the fact that 54 percent of sexual assaults are never reported, which brings the number up to about 720,000. The truth of the matter is that many men and women are misinformed about the parameters of sexual assault and they don't know who to turn to when it happens. To help eliminate this lack of knowledge, the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, along with GaDuGi SafeCenter, Inc. and the Health Education Resource Office, is sponsoring Sexual Assault Awareness Week from September. 18 to Sept. 20. The goal of the event is to promote awareness and provide students with the necessary knowledge to prevent assault from happening to them. "Knowledge is power," said Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Center. "By becoming more aware of the nature of sexual assault, students can avoid becoming victims." The state of Kansas defines sexual assault as intercourse without consent in which the victim is overcome by force or fear. This includes someone who is unconscious or physically powerless, or someone who is incapable of consent due to a mental deficiency or high level of intoxication. intoxication. According to Rose-Mockry, the first fact students need to understand about sexual assault is that it's never the victim's fault. "There is a misconception that those targeted bring it on themselves," Rose-Mockry said. "But the true problem is that someone is not respecting physical boundaries." Rachel Gadd-Nelson, director of community engagement for the GaDuGi SafeCenter, Inc. further emphasized this misconception by saying that no matter how someone is dressed, it's never an invitation for victimization. "This makes the assumption that women need to work to prevent sexual violence against them." Gadd-Nelson said. "This blames the victim and the perpetrators are never held accountable." Regardless of how someone dresses or acts, sex without consent is "An important part of healing comes from reaching out and getting support." KATHY ROSE-MOCKRY Director of Emily Taylor Center "Communication in relationships is key." Gadd Nelson said. "If fear is never acceptable. Another thing students should know about sexual assault is that an estimated two-thirds of sexual assaults are committed by someone familiar to the victim. Most people are more concerned about being assaulted by a stranger, but the real culprits are usually acquaintances or even friends. Gadd-Nelson said that students can attempt to prevent assault by being upfront about their position in the relationship. in the room, consent is not." If limitations are made abundantly clear, the likelihood of someone pushing boundaries will drop. Although Gadd-Nelson notes that the only true way to prevent this crime is by teaching people that sexual assault is never appropriate, some students have found their own ways to protect themselves. protect memories. "I always use the buddy system," said Sarina Venegas, a freshman from Wichita. "Going out in a group just makes me 'feel safer.'" For Oakland, Calif., senior Shayla McDaniels, it's all about being aware of her surroundings. I try not to put myself in situations where something like that could happen," McDaniels said. "I know my limits with drinking and I surround myself with people I trust." One of the most common reasons sexual assault goes unreported is because the victim doesn't realize the illegality of the situation. Because such a high number of assaults go unreported, Rose-Mockry also emphasized that students should know what constitutes sexual assault so they can report it immediately. She said reporting sexual assault is the first step in the healing process. For anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault and wishes to seek support please contact the Emily Taylor Center at (785) 864-3552 or the GaDuGi SafeCenter's 24-hour support line at (758) 843-8985.

Meyer said referencing the number of new companies, patents and venture capital investments in both areas. During the program, students will spend one week at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel, attending seminars and discussions about business and technological innovation and one week touring historical sites and companies in the area. The program is unique compared to other business-focused programs because it will allow students the opportunity to find out why Israel is an entrepreneurial leader, Meyer said. Meyer said the goal of the program is "to capture the innovation that occurs in Israel and, ideally, bring it back here so that we're that much the better for the experience." Dan Dutcher, a journalism major from Wichita, said he found the program while interning for the School of Business and is thinking of applying.

EDUCATION State board to revise teacher licensing rules ASSOCIATED PRESS The 9-1 vote came during a follow-up to the board's discussion in August of how to strengthen a law requiring prosecutors to notify the state about criminal convictions of people seeking or renewing teaching licenses. TOPEKA — The State Board of Education voted Tuesday to require certain Kansas educators renewing their teaching licenses to submit fingerprints for checks against a state criminal database in an effort to better screen classrooms for convicted elons. "If it is our job to police it, perhaps we need to say this is the way it's going to be," said board member Deena Horst of Salina. Kansas has been fingerprinting applicants for new teaching licenses since 2002. The new policy would extend the requirement to those teachers renewing licenses who had never been fingerprinted. Teachers must renew their licenses every five years, but they would only be fingerprinted on the first renewal. Deputy Education Commissioner Dale Dennis estimated the policy change would apply to about 35,000 teachers in Kansas, but said the number of actual renewals would be about 5,000 less because of retirements. State law bars the board from issuing licenses to anyone convicted of sex crimes, child abuse, murder or certain other offenses. Scott Gordon, chief counsel for the Kansas Department of Education, said the reporting would help the agency do a more thorough job of deciding if action should be taken against a teacher who has been charged, but potentially convicted on a lesser charge that wasn't among the felony sex or drug crimes listed in statute. "I don't want to wait until a case is over before I find out how the case has been pled down," Gordon said. The board will finalize the policy and hold a public hearing on the change later this ye- The board will administer and hold a public hearing on the change later this year. Prosecutors are required to regularly report all felony convictions to the Department of Education so it can check them against employment rosters. But there are no penalties for not complying. "There's no teeth in the statute," board member Ken Willard of Hutchinson said. Willard said he has spoken with Attorney General Derek Schmidt about getting prosecutors to comply with the reporting statute. Don Brown, spokesman for Schmidt, said the attorney general had "repeatedly" encouraged prosecutors to comply with the law and was willing to continue to work with the board of education. The board also voted to develop a new monthly report that would be sent to county prosecutors and district attorneys for them to return with updates on any new felony convictions involved licensed teachers. The state will also make outreach efforts to the Kansas County and District Attorneys Association to encourage more compliance with the law, as well as speaking with the judicial branch about increasing awareness. Board member Steve Roberts of Overland Park cast the lone vote against the new policy, questioning if fingerprinting would be the best way to enforce the policy. "I'd like a definition of what problem we're trying to solve," he said, adding that he supported efforts to prevent pedophiles from being in schools. Teachers renewing their licenses will pay a one-time fee of $50 for the fingerprinting, which will be sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation for background checks. Although applicants will not be required to submit to fingerprinting for subsequent renewals, a fee is charged to all teachers to run their name against criminal records annually to verify their status. Gordon said if a teacher renewing their license did have a prior conviction for a felony, they could always petition the courts to have the record expunged so that it wouldn't appear on a background check.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. — A month before he went on the rampage that left 13 dead, Washington, D.C., Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis complained to police in Rhode Island that people were talking to him through the walls and ceilings of his hotel rooms and sending microwave vibrations into his body to deprive him of sleep. The account, contained in an Aug. 7 report from Newport, R.I., police, adds to the picture that has emerged of an agitated and erratic figure whose behavior and mental state had repeatedly come to authorities' attention but didn't seem to affect his security clearance. Alexis, a 34-year-old information technology employee at a defense-related computer company, used a valid pass Monday to get into the Navy Yard and killed 12 people before he was slain by police in a shootout that lasted more than a half-hour. A day after the assault, the motive was still a mystery. U.S. law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that investigators had found no manifesto or other writings suggesting a political or religious motivation. Alexis, a former Navy reservist, had been undergoing mental health treatment from Veterans Affairs since August but was not stripped of his security clearance, according to the law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the criminal investigation was still going on. He had been suffering from a host of serious mental problems, including paranoia and a sleep disorder, and had been hearing voices in his head, the officials said The assault is raising more questions about the adequacy of the background checks done on contract employees who hold security clearances — an issue that came up recently with National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered two security reviews Tuesday of how well the Navy protects its bases and how accurately it screens its workers. Similarly, President Barack Obama has ordered the White House budget office to examine security standards for government contractors and employees across federal agencies. In addition, the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs Committees asked the VA for details about any treatment provided to Alexis. At, the U.S. Navy Memorial, in church and on the baseball field, the nation's capital paused to mourn the victims. Hagel laid a wreath at the memorial's "Lone Sailor" statue as taps played. Just a few blocks from the Navy Yard, the Washington Nationals were back to playing baseball after their Monday night game with the Atlanta Braves was postponed because of the shooting. The Nationals wore blue and gold Navy caps during warm-ups, and a moment of silence was held before the first pitch. In the Newport, R.I., incident, Alexis told police he got into an argument with someone as he was getting on a flight from Virginia to Rhode Island, where he was working as a naval contractor, and he said the person sent three people to follow and harass him. He said he heard voices talking to him through a wall while at one hotel, so he changed hotels twice, but the voices followed him, according to the report. He said he feared they might harm him. He also "stated that the individuals are using 'some sort of microwave machine' to send vibrations through the ceiling, penetrating his body so he cannot fall asleep." Later that day, Newport police Alexis came to the Washington, D.C., area about two weeks later and had been staying at hotels. On Saturday, two days before the attack, he went to a Virginia gun store about 15 miles from the Navy Yard. alerted the Rhode Island naval station and sent a copy of the police report, Newport police Lt. William Fitzgerald said Thursday. He rented a rifle, bought bullets and took target practice at Sharpshooters Small Arms Range, the store's attorney Michael Slocum said. Alexis then bought a shotgun and 24 shells, according to Slocum. and 24 shots, according to the FBI said during Monday's attack Alexis was armed with a shotgun. Officials said he also took a handgun from a law officer. Alexis had run-ins with the law in 2004 and 2010 in Texas and Seattle after he was accused of firing a gun in anger. He was not prosecuted in either case. And his bouts of insubordination, disorderly conduct and being absent from work without authorization prompted the Navy to grant him an early — but honorable — discharge in 2011 after nearly four years as a full-time reservoir, authorities said. Alexis joined the Florida-based IT consulting firm The Experts in September 2012, leaving a few months later to return to school. He came back in June to do part-time work at the Washington Navy Yard as a subcontractor, helping the military update computer systems. the Experts' CEO, Thomas Hoshko, said that Alexis had "no personal issues," and he confirmed that Alexis had been granted a "secret" clearance by the Defense Security Service five years ago.

For some, it's the beauty of Jayhawk Boulevard, Allen Fieldhouse or Massachusetts Street. Though for me, it's the eclectic music scene that Lawrence has to offer. other. As I considered my collegiate options, the University of Kansas was barely on my radar. Coming from Chicago, I planned to stay in the Midwest, but I figured I would end up at the University of Illinois or my (former) dream school, the University of Wisconsin. However, while scanning the tour dates of a new band I had been listening to – Awesome New Republic – I noticed that they were scheduled to play an upcoming show at the Jackpot. Upon this discovery, I made the official decision to schedule a campus tour for the same weekend. same weekend. A few weeks later and there I was. My tour took place first thing in the morning, and later that night I dragged my trooper of a dad to see ANR's midnight set with me. As we walked down a cold and rainy Massachusetts Street, I remember feeling like I do at the end of every "Breaking Bad" episode — anxious and eager to see more. Wide-eye with excitement, I noted countless music venues, a record shop and the many street musicians playing on every other block. No other college could compete at that point — it was a done deal. Enobus said Lawrence is "known By Lyndsey Havens lhavens@kansan.com torres said Lawrence is "known for a thriving music and art scene. Downtown Lawrence, in particular Massachusetts Street, has a lively atmosphere and is filled with restaurants, bars, galleries, shops and music venues." Sure, you might be able to find all that on any college campus, so what is it that sets Lawrence apart from the rest? What makes the music scene here in particular so special? I believe it comes down to the simple fact that Lawrence loves its locals. This has proven to be true through the continual booking of local artists like The Floozies and Quiet Corral at venues like the Bottleneck and the Granada. It's apparent in the communal feeling that Love Garden creates for collectors (and cat lovers), and it's apparent in the familiar faces seen strumming along to songs of the '60s on the sidewalk. Those who recognize and value the importance of supporting the Lawrence local music scene are choosing to take action and encourage others to care as well. Music lover Fally Afani, for example, created the site iHeartLocalMusic.com - a site solely dedicated to promoting and supporting the local music scene here. Wayne Coyne, front man of The Flaming Lips, is another example of someone who appreciates locality. In 2011, Coyne chose Love Garden as one of the select few record shops that he hand-delivered the band's latest album to. When asked why he chose Love Garden, he said, "I like this idea that people would drive here and get stuff that you can only get here." It truly is that simple - people like having things that others can't get anywhere else. Though this concept is nothing new, the way that we now promote and appreciate rarity is changing. Rarity is the reason we buy tickets for the chance to see a band that may not tour again for years, it's why Love Garden has a line of collectors forming at 4 a.m. on Record Store Day waiting to find that one album, and above all else, it's the answer I respond with when asked, "Why Kansas?"

WIZARDRY Take a page out of Rowling's book and make good friends I'm sure that anyone who has read "Harry Potter" has admitted at some point in their lives that their 11th birthday was the most disappointing moment in their childhood. I was one of the many devastated when I didn't receive my Hogwarts acceptance letter. Honestly, who wouldn't want to spend their childhood flying, communicating with animals and learning how to wave a stick to make all of their desires reality? However, being magical wasn't my main motivation for wanting Hogwarts to be real. What I really wanted was the chance to have a friendship like that shared between Harry, Ron and Hermione. Unconditional friendship like that is something unfortunately rare and idealized in literature and film. Thus, Harry, Ron and Hermione were a few of my role models growing up because they shared something I felt I might never be able to possess (and I'm not just referring to magic). Now, I'm not saying I didn't have friends growing up, but they were often limited by social and familial values and tended to fizzle out after it would become clear that our attitudes and expectations were not the same. That's why (beyond the obvious reason of earning my degree) coming to college — particularly By Tasha Cerny tcerny@kansan.com a larger school like Kansas — was so important to me. College is about individuality, a time to learn about your own self beyond the boundaries of family culture and the environment you grew up in, and the perfect place to find others who share those same values of individuality. College, in a way, is like Hogwarts. Something I've learned over my four years here, however, is that making those lasting connections and friendships is about more than living with your peers, meeting new people or even finding a community where you feel at home (though that last one helps significantly). Making those Rowling-approved friendships first and foremost involves being a good friend yourself Obviously no two people are exactly alike, and simply because you share some interests, viewpoints, or habits in common with another person does not mean that the two of you will automatically be the best of friends. Harry, Ron and Hermione have almost nothing in common other than being from Gryffindor House, yet they are (for the most part) fiercely loyal to each other, inclusive and understanding of each other's limitations (has anyone ever tried estimating the number of hours Hermione spends helping Harry and Ron finish their homework?). Practicing the Golden Rule and being open-minded towards others and their ideas is vital to being a good friend. Being a part of such a large campus, you are bound to run into some pretty strange people, including those who make Luna Lovegood seem normal. But instead of judging, try listening. Like Luna, you might just find that they aren't strange at all—their perspective is just genuinely different from your own. your own. The people you meet in college and the experiences you share with them will be some of the most significant aspects of your time spent here, so making the most of each interaction and forging positive relationships with the people around you is vital to finding those friendships that you'll take with you long after you graduate. Kansas may not offer transfiguration or charms class (though you can still play Quidditch!), but you don't have to own a functioning wand to be a wizard at making friends.

Street harassment needs to be curbed When I was 16, my car almost got rear-ended while I was trying to get gas at Quik-Trip. It was the middle of the day and the man behind me had turned the corner a little too quickly. I was fresh off getting my license and every time I stepped behind the wheel, I sent a little prayer to my Jesus sock-doll keychain my mother put on my dashboard that went something like, "Oh God, oh God, oh God please don't let me die." I stuttered, completely caught off guard, and immediately became aware of my surroundings: taking note of the one other car filling up at the station at the end, the two attendants busy with customers inside the convenience mart, the fact that I had left my phone in the front seat, all while calculating the distance that he stood away from me, holding my keys tight in my hand. Girl please don't tease The other driver and I both got out in order to make sure no damage had been done. He apologized, and I said fine, getting ready to turn around and head back to my car, before he — a man who looked clearly to be in his forties or fifties — said to me, "Oh, and by the way ma'am," pausing to look me up and down, a smile starting to creep along his face. "I hope you don't get offended, but you look real good in those jeans." I eventually stumbled out some sort of response, the content of which I'm not sure and got quickly back into my car. I drove away without getting gas that day. That was the first time I ever was conscious of being at the end of street harassment (all without actually being on a street). Since then, there have been other instances: cars that drive by yelling out un-creative variations of "nice ass", whistles, drunken men that have tried to come up to me, touch my hair, touch my arm, all without so much as a pretense at conversation or engagement with me as a person, and not an object. Unfortunately, this isn't an uncommon reality for women, or those who present themselves as women, but particularly for college-aged women. Hell, it's not at all uncommon for girls in high school to experience blantant and fairly frightening sexual harassment, like I did (or By Katherine Gwynn kgwynn@kansan.com girls in middle school, like my younger sister did). But what is uncommon is talking about the reason that women, particularly young women, experience sexual harassment so incredibly often. And it's often because these individuals aren't tying their catcalls toward someone that they think of as a person. They're thinking of the receiving end of their words and leers as just that — endlessly receiving, passive, something unto which they can throw their attentions, not someone standing in a gas station lot, wondering if she's safe. They don't think of it as sexual assault. Because that's what it is, when you get down to it. "Hey, baby," is never just "Hey, baby." No matter what your intent was, no matter if you feel offended at the idea that anyone who dare think you could be capable of force, of violating someone's consent or body, the thing is, a catcall is inherently a violation. "Hey, baby," when unsolicited, says "I'll comment on your body whether you want me to or not." It says "I see you as a body that pleases me, and by voicing this allowed, I'm trying to gain power over you, however conscious or not I am." Which is often times followed by "And I might want or expect or presume or force your body to bend to that power." It says, "Maybe, I'll demean you. Maybe I'll ignore you. Maybe I'll rape you." I'm not saying you can't ever compliment a person, or even hit on a person, but try to be aware of the context of the situation. Is the person alone? Do they seem uncomfortable? Are you in a place where it's acceptable for strangers to strike up conversation, like a party, or are you stumbling drunkenly down Tennessee Street at 2 a.m.? Think about it. Evaluate it. And treat people as human beings. It's really not that hard. And even if they don't—even if they ignore it, that fear that you live in is an assault in-and-of itself.

The answer: A lot of things. Nowadays, midwifery is still a profession, though a dwindling one. But in 2013, most women would rather their children be born in a hospital than their own home. "My Notorious Life" by Kate Manning, a historically accurate novel about midwives set 150 years ago, shows us that today's issues date back long before the 21st century. "My Notorious Life" follows Axie Muldoon, an Irish "half-orphan" living in the New York slums. She spends the first 14 years of her life surrounded by poverty and disease. After the death of her mother, Axie is taken in by a successful midwife and taught the business. This is pretty impressive in a time when the word "pregnant" carried the weight of the F-word. After her mentor kicks the bucket due to laudanum poisoning, Axie starts her own business selling pharmaceuticals with midwifery on the side. Years later, it's revealed that Axie, in addition to selling pills and helping with childbirth, has been performing abortions. The public outcry is massive. Axie's manslaughter trial becomes a citywide focal point, involving everyone from the media to everyday people. This is where the modern-day parallels begin to appear. The mobs that form outside Axie's house are suggestive of the protests that take place outside abortion clinics today. The level of controversy between then and now hasn't changed. The whole "life begins at conception" argument was very apparent then, just as it is now. These similarities enhance the book and give it more grounding for us as modern readers. We understand where both sides are coming from because we've witnessed them firsthand. The allusion to a modern topic is what makes "My Notorious Life" stand out from its historical competition. Most of us can't imagine being caught in French trenches or having to ride in a wagon across the continent, but we do understand the intensity of the abortion debate and understand how it drives people to the point of rioting. Manning's book is a provocative read for both the historically- and contemporarily-minded. It pulls together the old and new in a way that shows us today's issues have been going on for a lot longer than we previously thought. — Edited by Emma McElhaney 75¢ Off Any Sub Not Valid with any other offers 1814 W, 23rd Lawrence, KS 843-6000 Yello Sub WELL I DECLARE!

At the two side-by-side shops — 929 and 931 Massachusetts Street — you can get a preview of the sort of treats you'll find in Britain and Europe and goods not typically found in America. "When we first opened, we didn't really know any other stores that were like ours," said Sally Helm, the co-founder and owner of Brits. "We just knew that if people were half as interested in Britain as we were, people would come." As it turns out, Helm was right. Brits focuses primarily on British products, and while the store does attract travelers from Britain and other European nations, it also brings in anglophiles from all around the Kansas City area.

While she hadn't expected Lawrence to bring in a large group of customers, she realized she was lucky to be in what she considered a "quirky, cool" town. "I love being here in Lawrence," Helm said.

How can I know who to root for in the unending battle between Walter and Hank if all I know about them is their names? Most of you are probably thinking, "Kaitlyn, an easy fix to that is watching the show (since the first 4.5 seasons are on Netflix) and then you'll be caught up in time for the series finale. What's so difficult about taking a weekend off and binge watching every season?" Nothing I've done that exact Nothing. I've done that exact thing before. However, that's not currently an option for me because I'm already tied up in too many shows. Also, when I'm not watching shows on Netflix, I'm busy mentally and emotionally preparing myself for the return of "Downton Abbey," "The Walking Dead" and "Parks and Recreation." Also, at this point wouldn't it be best just to wait? Watch the entire series at one time and not add stress to my life by waiting anxiously for the next episode on a weekly basis? I think so. However, the announcement of a spin-off series makes this option less attractive - what if I can't finish the series and end up on the wrong side of that metaphorical window?

It was the next chronicle in a series that hasn't released a game title for a major console since 2008: "Grand Theft Auto V." TOM DEHART fdehart@kansan.com "Grand Theft Auto IV", released in 2008, told the story of a Russian immigrant in Liberty City, which had been used in previous titles such as "Grand Theft Auto III" and was heavily based off New York City. However, that game left some students unwilling to play to the end. “Grand Theft Auto 1V” took me too long to beat; I didn't really play it," Cody Flitzercraft, a freshman, said Monday night at the Hastings Entertainment at 23rd and Iowa streets. With a production and marketing budget of $265 million, "Grand Theft Auto V" cost more to produce than most Hollywood films. This sort of hype has made University gamers eager to see what Rockstar Games has up its sleeve for this fall's release. "I have been a major fan of every Rockstar game ever made and they have yet to disappoint, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they do," senior Evan Hurley said as he waited outside the GameStop at 33rd and Iowa streets. "One of the things that I loved most about 'Red Dead Redemption' was roaming around in the wilderness, so I'm looking forward to the free-roam map" Set in the fictional city of Los Santos, "Grand Theft Auto V" gives players the ability to play as three separate characters. Each character has a sub-story that helps develop their role in the game's overall plot. The characters include Michael DeSanta, a retired comman, Franklin Clinton, a repo-man for a car dealership and Trevor Phillips, a drug-addicted psychopath. All three characters are pulled into organized crime for one personal reason or another. But organized crime and mayhem are not the only things a player can pursue in this game. Players can choose between an array of mini-games, which include golfing, mountain-biking, scuba-diving for virtual treasure and base-jumping, among others. Like previous "Grand Theft Auto" releases, the game features a satirical viewpoint on American society, reflects the latest culture and mocks it in a way that is signature to Rockstar Games and "Grand Theft Auto." "In one of their trailers they showed something from the movie 'Heat,' where an armored car hit another car to knock it over." Hurley said. "So they obviously have drawn some influences from movies for this game." All movie references and cultural spin-offs aside, "Grand Theft Auto V" will be a game that many University students will enjoy throughout the entire school year. — Edited by Kayla Overbey grand theft auto V FIVE ROCKSTAR GAMES PRINCE POPSICLE Harry spends night in deep freezer STADIUM ASSOCIATED PRESS Britain's Prince Harry warms his hands after a cold chamber training exercise with the Walking with the Wounded South Pole Allied Challenge 2013 British team at Nuneaton, central England, on Tuesday. ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Prince Harry spent the night in a giant freezer to simulate the conditions he will face when he treks to the South Pole in November. The 29-year-old royal, who will race with a team of injured British servicemen and women against groups from the United States and the Commonwealth, spent around 20 hours in a cold chamber where he was subjected to temperatures of -31 Fahrenheit, with wind speeds of 45 miles per hour. Alongside four teammates, $ ^{a1} $ amputees who lost limbs after sustaining injuries in Afghanistan, Harry tested the clothing he will wear on the 200-mile expedition and learned how to avoid frostbite. When asked Tuesday what the worst part of his overnight experience was, Harry joked: "Going in." The challenging expedition is set to begin in late November and is expected to last about 15 days. The teams plan to trek between nine and 12 miles each day. Actors Alexander Skarsgard from the "True Blood" series and Dominic West of "The Wire" will also participate in the race.

They play the game known as Beep baseball with an oversized softball that beeps and bases that buzz. The National Beep Baseball Association was founded in 1975. Teams have formed nationwide and compete annually in a World Series. In east Atlanta, a team called the Atlanta Eclipse plays at a local park Players wear blindfolds to ensure fairness since each person has a varying degree of blindness. The pitcher and the catcher are sighted and play on the same team as the batter. On a hit, the batter runs toward the buzz of either the first or third base, which is decided by an official. There is no second base. A run is scored if the batter tags the base before the fielder can pick neder can play up the ball; otherwise the batter is out. In this adapted version of America's pastime, cheering is not permitted until the play is over. For the players, the game is about much more than physical activity; it helps them cope with the challenges of being blind. Here are the stories of three players in Atlanta and surrounding areas whose lives have been improved by what happens on the baseball diamond. PROVE YOU WRONG Dee Butler, 55, began experiencing problems with her sight as a teenager, and in school would ask to sit near the front of the class. At 24, she was diagnosed with conerod dystrophy, a progressive disease that causes the deterioration of the retina and leads to blindness. She took up blind baseball a few years ago after a tumultuous relationship with a now ex-husband. "I have an ex-husband I call my 'wasband,'" said Butler, standing in the convenience store she used to run in Hapeville, an Atlanta suburb. "For a long time, he used to make me feel so down. I was always never good enough for anything. I was ugly, I was fat. I couldn't do anything." She heard it so often, Butler said she became depressed. "It's a rush you will never forget. Do the impossible and then nothing is impossible." ler said she became depressed. "And then I just started getting mad. He would always tell me I couldn't do anything by myself," she said. "And so I looked at him right in the eye, and I said, 'You know what, ROGER KEENEY Beep baseball player I'm going to prove you wrong." She packed up her 9-year-old twin girls and 11-year old son, and left. On the suggestion of a friend who knew about the Atlanta Eclipse, Butler decided to give the game a try, although she doubted she could master it. She showed up time after time, struggling to hit the ball, with every swing a miss. Even when she could see, she had never been athletic. "As a child, I was always like a girly girl," she said. When she hit the ball for the first time, and made her first run, she was hooked. "I enjoy it. I love getting out there and hitting that ball and making them runs, doing everything that I didn't think I could do before," she said. Richard Sexton, left, is guided by John Steven to the batter's box during a blind baseball practice in Atlanta on April 14, 2012. Despite daily, person challenges, hitting and catching a ball and running full speed in total darkness teaches them they can achieve what was once thought unachievable. CASTRO LIGHTEN UP MY DARKNESS LIGHTEN UP MY DARKNESS Jimmie Burnette, 44, took up Beep baseball after suffering a brain tumor in 2010 that left him blind. "I wanted to give up. When I first got home, I felt real alone. I could not see anything. My initial reaction was 'run away,'" said Burnette, sitting in his living room next to his wife, Tiawanna. "At times, it's almost like total dark. It's gloomy. But I have to find things to lighten up my darkness." From the hospital bed to the baseball field, Burnette's journey has been filled with challenges: rehab after the surgery, Braille classes and training sessions on how to get around as a blind person, from crossing the street safely to taking public transportation. Through it all, he feels he has lost his independence and role as provider for the family. "I was brought up with the attitude of a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat. I kept saying to myself, 'You're not a man anymore, you're not a man anymore.'" said Burnette, a former FedEx driver and hobbyist model airplane builder who is now unemployed and on disability. "BEEP baseball is helping me out. It takes away from me thinking about I'm less than a man." "Now I realize I'm still the same man, just have to do things differently now," he said 4SSOCIATED PRESS Roger Keeney, 67, has played Beep baseball for 38 years, making some 20 World Series appearances. Growing up, Keeney's sight was considered "low vision." He was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a disease that leads to a decrease in vision over the course of several years. Through college, Keeney was still driving and riding motorcycles legally, but that changed in 1990 on his farm in New York. A piece of machinery broke and hit him in the head. When he woke up, he couldn't see. These days, hitting a ball he can't see comes easier to Keeney than finding a paying job. The father of two has a master's degree in therapeutic recreation and is working on his doctorate in adapted physical education. He is the founder and volunteer executive director for a non-profit group that organizes adapted sports activities in Athens, DO THE IMPOSSIBLE Ga, and surrounding areas. Keeney hopes that as the group's funding increases, he'll be able to draw salary. Garcia and his team hope that as the group's funding increases, he'll be able to draw salary. Keeney said he is often passed over for jobs because he's blind. "Blind folks can do nearly any job that you can do except for maybe drive down the road. It is hard for employers to believe that we can do the job," said Keeney from his home in Athens, a college town about 70 miles east of Atlanta. "On paper, I'm number one or number two every time I apply for anything. But as soon as I walk through the door of the office to the interviewer with my white stick, you can feel the mood in the room change," he said. "You can physically feel the change. And the attitude is prevalent that this person can't do the job they've applied for." More afternoons Keeney practices in his front yard, swinging a baseball in the air. No ball is thrown, no bases are run. It's just Keeney with his 9-year-old daughter Alexis yelling "ball!" to emulate the words of the pitcher before the windup. Keeney approaches the sport as seriously as he would a job, hooked on the belief that he can achieve things that at first may have seemed unachievable, even to him. "It's hard to believe that you're going to be able to stop that ball out in the field with your body and pick it up when it's been hit and it's rolling hard or flying hard across the field," said Keeney, smiling. "It's a rush you will never forget. Do the impossible, and then nothing is impossible. Many afternoons, Keeney practic Westlake ACE Hardware The helpful place.

DANIEL HARMSEN dharmsen@kansan.com PIERSON AND BOURBON TO GET EXPANDED ROLES: On Saturday, Kansas WR/RB Tony Pierson caught a 6-yard buttonhook out of the slot, bounced off a defender and turned upfield and down the sideline, outrunning the Rice defense into the endzone for a 72-yard touchdown. The play tied the game at 7 and was one of the few offensive highlights. Pierson caught only three other passes for 18 yards. In limited time, Brandon Bourbon also gave Kansas a nice receiving threat. He caught two passes, one for 8 yards, and on his only rush of the day, he gained 6 Despite their successes, Charlie Weis is red in the face trying to get the two players more involved in the offense. "I haven't been sleeping well since Saturday." Weis said Tuesday at a press conference. "Bourbon and Tony will have expanded roles — they can take a small gain and turn it into a big play." Running back coach Reggie Mitchell said, "the plan is to give [Pierson] as many touches as he can get — most will come out of the backfield." WEIS PLEASED WITH SECONDARY, DEFENSE: The only thing that could have overshadowed Ben Heeney's heroic performance at linebacker, with 18 tackles, two pass breakups and a sack, was the play Kansas got from its defenses back. JaCorey Shepherd and Dexter McDonald each tallied three pass breakups, and McDonald and safety Isaiah Johnson added interceptions. "Shepherd's extra year of experience and listening to [defensive coach] Dave Campo has been a big plus," Weis said. Despite a few growing pains and When asked about Dexter McDonald's play on the opposite side, Weis grinned and summed it up with just five words: "Dexter has big time ability." COMBS, BOLTON, COX MAY REDSHIRT: communication problems, Weis said the secondary has been as good as he has seen it since he's been here. Weis said DT Ty McKinney "has a chance to be a really disruptive front line guy" and the other defensive linemen aren't giving up their positions, so he thought it best to look to the future and possibly redshirt junior college standouts Marquel Combs and Andrew Bolton. "You want to [redshirt] a few of them so you don't dwindle in numbers." Weis said. "And those guys will be waiting in the wings, and that will bode well for the future of our program." kd taylor Cox has a nagging hamstring injury and may utilize his medical redshirt. The NCAA will recognize this medical hardship. Cox has four games to try it out before Kansas makes a decision. Edited by Chas Strobel MLB Royals collapse in bitter 5-3 loss to Cleveland Indians The Royals dropped $3\frac{1}{2}$ games back of Texas and Tampa Bay in the AL wild-card race. The Indians remain a half-game adrift after the Rangers beat the Rays earlier in the night. Then again, the Royals aren't accustomed to playing games that mean something in September. So even though Ventura kept the Cleveland Indians off the scoreboard until the sixth inning and departed with the lead, the inability of the Kansas City bullpen to hold on in a 5-3 defeat is what will stand out as the season heads toward its conclusion. "You look at that game and their bullpen pitched better than our bullpen tonight," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "We felt like we had the right matchups and didn't get it done." ASSOCIATED PRESS The Indians finally got a run off Ventura in the sixth, and then tied KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The electrifying performance that Yordano Ventura delivered in his big league debut Tuesday night would normally be enough to help Royals fans feel better after a late-game collapse. THE UN FAC QUOT "Look, right to go. We're going with it every sin the game 3-all off reliever Kelvin Herrera in the seventh. Asdrubal Cabrera's go-ahead double off Wade Davis (7-11) gave Cleveland the lead, and Michael Helpon's homer in the ninth helped to seal it.

He erratically walked Bourn on four pitches to lead off the game, and earned a roar when he finally threw a strike to Nick Swisher. The roar grew when Ventura got him to ground into a double play, and reached a crescendo when he struck out Jason Kipnis to end the inning. --- "Everyone knows I was nervous," Ventura said. "That's why I couldn't throw one strike. But thank God, I was able to make adjustments and get the next guy out."

Swisher's single and a pair of two-out singles by Carlos Santana and Michael Brantley made it 3-1 and drove Ventura from the game — he received a standing ovation. Cabrera walked to load the bases before Ryan Raburn struck out. It may have been a wasted opportunity, but Cleveland atoned for it the next inning. "The hit batsman was crucial at that point with Bourn coming up and hitting a triple right behind it," Yost said. "Those are things late in the season in games of this magnitude you really want to try to stay away from." "It's not always going to be pretty, but we have to find a way to get it done," Swisher said. "We have a scrappy group in here, and we're not done. We're going to keep pushing because we want this. We want it bad." 7 --- WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2013 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN PAGE QUOTE OF THE DAY "Look, right now, we've got 12-13 games to go. We're not taking any chances.

We TRIVIA OF THE DAY When the Royals last won the World Series, the top grossing film was "Back to the Future." --- IMDb THE MORNING BREW Royals fans keep fingers crossed for postseason Most people reading this article weren't alive the last time the Kansas City Royals appeared in postseason play. The Royals' win on Monday kept their chances alive for the first postseason appearance the team would have since 1985 and, by doing so, ignited hope for fans who have been waiting a very long time. By Miranda Davis mdavis@kansan.com Yes, you heard that right — 28 long years. Nearly every fan in the Kansas City area has noticed a different energy in Kauffman Stadium and that has a lot to do with how well the Royals are playing (let it be known that the Royals' record is average, but this is considered exceptional in Kansas City). While the thought of October relevancy for the Royals is a foreign concept, on Monday night they inched their way a little closer in the race for one of the American League wild-card spots. Referred to by fans as the "hunt for blue October," the idea of the Royals entering post-season play is something for Kansas City to be excited about. However, the Royals have a long way to go and chances are slim. They must close out the set against the Cleveland Indians to continue in the race and play well against the Texas Rangers this weekend. Since Monday's win, the Royals are 2% games behind Texas for the wild-card spot and are 79-71 on the season. This is the closest the team has come to having a .500 season since they won the World Series in 1985 (the last time they were in the playoffs). With 12 games left in the regular season, the Royals would need strong performances and win a lot of those games to have a chance at the wild card. The Royals defeated the Indians 7-1 Monday and played again Tuesday night. James Shields, who pitched for Kansas City, struck out 10 batters over six innings. His performance and two sixth-inning triples by Salvy Perez and Lorenzo Cain clenched the win for the Royals. KU Yordano Ventura started Tuesday's game against the Indians, his first major league game, replacing Danny Duffy in the rotation. Royals fans have something they haven't had in a very long time: hope. For the first time in a long time, the end of September may not signify the end of the season.

Simmons' two-run error lifts Nats over Braves 6-5 ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Shortstop Andrelton Simmons allowed Denard Span's grounder to bounce through his legs for a game-ending, two-run error, lifting the Washington Nationals over the Atlanta Braves 6-5 Tuesday in the makeup of a series opener postponed by a shooting rampage a day earlier at the nearby Navy Yard. Pinch-hitter Chad Tracy had an RBI grounder against Craig Kimbrell in the three-run ninth as Washington kept Atlanta's magic number at four for clinching the NL East for the first time since the Braves' streak of 11 consecutive division titles from 1995 to 2005. A sweep of the day- night doubleheader would have sealed the division for Atlanta. Washington closed within $4\frac{1}{2}$ games of Cincinnati for the NL's second wild-card berth with 12 games remaining. Atlanta trailed 3-0 but took a 4-3 lead in the eighth on Evan Gattis' two-run homer off Tyler Clippard on an 0-2 pitch, which stopped an 0-for-18 skid. The Braves added a run in the ninth when Elliot Johnson singled, advanced on a throwing error by left fielder Bryce Harper, stole third and came around as shortstop Ian Desmond allowed Freddie Freeman's four-hop grounder to bounce off the heel of his glove for his 18th error this season. Kimbrel (3-3), who leads the major leagues with 47 saves, had converted 37 in a row but blew a save chance for just the fourth time this season. Adam LaRoche walked on a full count, Wilson Ramos reached on an infield single and Anthony Rendon walked on a 3-2 pitch. After Tracy's grounder, Atlanta elected to pitch to Span with first base open, and he hit a three-hopper over the mound that rolled past Simmons into center field. Ian Krol (2-1) faced two batters in the ninth, giving Washington its first win in seven home games against Atlanta this year. Before the game, both teams stood in front of their dugouts, heads bowed, and a color guard was stationed behind home plate during a minute of silence to pay tribute to the people killed Monday and those affected by the shootings. Span's second-inning single extended his hitting streak to 27 games, matching Colorado's Michael Cuddyer for the longest in the major leagues this season. Washington took a 3-0 lead in the first against Mike Minor on Jayson Werth's RBI double, Harper's run-scoring groundout and LaRoche's RBI single. Freddie Freeman's sixth-inning sacrifice fly off Dan Haren made him the first Atlanta player with 100 RBIs in a season since Chipper Jones and Jeff Francoeur in 2007, and pinch-hitter Dan Uggla singled in a run in the seventh. 14 ASSOCIATED PRESS Atlanta Braves' Evan Gattis (24) hits a two-run home run during the eighth inning of the first baseball game of a doubleheader against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park Tuesday in Washington.

It could be called an unintended consequence of sorts, or just a time to make changes, but either way Charlie Weis is shuffling his deck in hopes of giving Kansas football a better hand. By Mike Vernon mvernon@kansan.com The majority of those changes, five to be exact, come on the offensive side of the ball, where the Jayhawks have struggled mightily in their first two games. While it's a small sample size, Kansas' scoring offense is currently ranked No. 91 in the country with 22.5 points per game. On Tuesday, Weis announced four changes to his starting lineup for Saturday's game against Louisiana Tech and two additional changes with his second string players. So Weis made some changes, starting with the team's problem position: wide receiver. Junior Rodriguez Coleman will start over Justin McCay, the heralded transfer from Oklahoma. On the opposite side, sophomore Tre' Parmalee, a shorter receiver, will start over Josh Ford, who transferred from junior college last season. This was inevitable. It could be called an This is what happens when a team full of junior college players and transfers come together over a spring, summer and fall to compete against groups who have played together for years. This isn't Weis hitting the panic button in any sense. This is a coach who inherited a new car with trendy feature. He's still figuring out what buttons can actually make his driving experience, or the team, better. When you have a high number of junior college players and transfers filling your lineup to start the year, changes like these are bound to happen. A guy like McCay, who appears to carry a load of potential, may not be ready to play at a high level yet. Or simply, that day may never come. These are the risks one takes when recruiting junior college players. Sometimes it works well, like with safeties Isaiah Johnson and Cassius Sendish, and sometimes it doesn't. For now, he's just trying to figure out who will give the lahawks their best chance to win. There will be more depth chart changes as the season goes on and the coaching staff further familiarizes itself with their personnel. Weis' adjustments for week three reflect this ongoing transition period. What happens during training camp cannot match the intensity when the stands fill and the lights flick on for a fall Saturday. Some players, and apparently the Jayhawks' old receivers, don't respond well to the added pressure. Until then, some patience is key. It's not worth getting worked up over... yet. There's no way Weis could've known that to be true. Of the six depth chart changes, five involve a junior college player. The result for Weis and his crew for two weeks hasn't been aesthetically pleasing, and Weis knows that. — Edited by Emma McElhaney THE MORNING BREW KU PAGE 11 FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK PAGE 10 MAKING CHANGES FOOTBALL FACELIFT 1.

The Jayhawks led the nation in junior college recruits this season, and those players were expected to infuse the program with talented players to fill the holes on the roster. But rather than adding so many new players this season, the coaching staff intends to stagger the junior college class between this season and next with redshirts. "One of the things as a coaching staff that we wanted to do was try to hold a third of them and play two-thirds of them," Weis said at his weekly press conference on Tuesday afternoon. Those rankings, along with the media hype and fan excitement surrounding Combs, meant nothing to Weis and his coaching staff when they made the decision of who to play and who to redshirt. One of the players that will sit out this season will be defensive lineman Maruel Combs, who was the top-ranked junior college recruit by ESPN. Combs is not the only key name that was decided to have more value for the team after a season off the field. Andrew Bolton, another defensive lineman, was expected to help bring a stronger pass rush for the Jayhawks as well, but he will also likely redshirt this season. "Everyone was more enamored with the names, and we're more enamored with what's best for the program." Weis said. "We think Combs and Bolton have huge upside," Weis said. "We're going to do our best for neither one of those guys to see the field this year." "Their rationale was that because Kevin has a redshirt year available, it would be best spent solidifying his academics," Weis explained. "He will still have two years of eligibility remaining after this season." Cornerback Kevin Short is already playing with the Kansas scout team in practice and will not be able to play this season because of an academic ruling by the NCAA. That leaves 13 junior college players that will play this season. All of them are listed in the top two at their position on the depth chart, and seven of them are listed as first string. Of course, there's always the chance of Weis being forced to play one of the two due to an injury or lack of production on the defensive line, but so far that hasn't been an issue. After two games, the layhawks have six sacks, compared to the 10 sacks all of last season. Weis made a statement through a press release last week that said he was disappointed with the NCAA's decision. MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN "I wasn't counting on that situation with Kevin, obviously, but we were hoping to sit at least one of them." Weis said. Players like Combs, Bolton and Short will be there if needed, but Weis would rather save them for a year if he can. "Those guys are all waiting in the wings," Weis said. "That bodes well for the future of our program." Edited by Emma McElhaney Big changes for starting line LINEUP Jake Heaps points to a receiver in the game against Rice last weekend. The Jayhawks hope to reduce the number of drops in the upcoming game against Louisiana Tech. CONNOR OBERKROM coberkrom@kansan.com Coach Charlie Weis released a depth chart during his weekly presser on Tuesday that featured some new names in starting positions on offense in hopes that it may spark a stale offense who have dropped a total of nine passes, including Jimmy Mundine who dropped two in the Rice game including a possible TD. This, in turn, led to Weis playing Trent Smiley over Mundine in the number one tight end slot. When you have the 116th total offense in the country after only two games, exploring alternatives certainly couldn't hurt. When a reporter asked the reason for this, Weis conjured up a simple reason. Trent Smiley, who has seen some snaps in the last two years with the Jayhawks, offers a different style of tight end and is a little more physical than Mundine. "Did you watch the game? Is this a rhetorical question?" Weis said. "Right now we have to see if we can get any better there [in the tight end position]." "You only have two choices, guys get better or you tweak and make a get move of moves." Weis said. The offensive line saw a little change when Riley Spencer, a senior who missed 11 games last year after a knee injury, now replaces Zack Fondal at the right tackle spot. CHARLIE WEIS Football coach "We weren't pleased with our "You only have two choices,guys get better or you tweak and make a couple of moves." Jake Heaps will start the game Saturday against Louisiana Tech offensive line play in the last game ... coming off these knees he's been slow coming along, healthy, but slow ... he's gotten better and better" Weis said. "Riley is a big man and I think one of the things he will bring a little more physicality." — two top wide receivers with Tre' Parmalee and Rodriguez Coleman — replacing Josh Ford and Justin McCay as the drops continue to be a lingering problem and the physicality is not quite at the content stage. With some receiving changes going on, Weis said that Brandon Bourbon and Tony Pierson, who both sit at the flanker position, will see an expanded role in Saturday's game as they look to connect more through the air. Piterson has accounted for 177 of the Jayhawks 660 total yards so far this season and is currently the leading receiver for the Jayhawks. Louisiana Tech's forceful defense tops the country in tackles for a loss with 29 and top five in sacks, having already amassed nine in just two games thus far. With league play on the horizon, another defensive test will be there, as a shakeup on offense looks to prompt them to be a little more potent. "You can't win games when you're scoring 14 points. That just isn't going to be good enough," Weis said.

In the past, recycling efforts at the University's athletic events have been limited. There were some small-scale efforts to recycle during football tailgates, including passing Waste stations will be set up at Memorial Stadium, which will include three containers for different types of materials. There is one container for recyclables, one for items that can be composted and the last container is for waste that is not recyclable or compostable, and will be taken to the landfill. will be taken to the conference "There's already a pretty clear difference in the amount of trash we've been able to divert," said Jeff Severin, the director of the Center for Sustainability, referring to the utilization of the waste stations during the first home football game. "When we look at what's outside on the Hill during tailgates, and inside the stadium, there's a very small percentage of it that is actually trash. The rest of it can be, if we effectively capture it in one of the other two containers, diverted. Since so much of the trash at sporting events is recyclable or compostable, the goal is to eliminate as much waste as possible." out bags for recyclables, and Allen Fieldhouse had places for fans to recycle plastic bottles. Until this year, there were no resources for recycling inside Memorial Stadium. "We're going from having a stadium that didn't have any recycling or composting at all, to cutting out a major portion of what is going into the dumpsters. It's going to have a pretty dramatic effect." Severn said. With the Rock Chalk Recycle initiative, opportunities to recycle will be more readily available inside and outside the stadiums at every home athletic event, as well as in the tailgating areas for the football games. Although there are other universities implementing similar programs, the scale of the University's program is far-reaching. "We are the first in the Big 12 to take on all sports with this comprehensive approach to waste reduction, said Manny Abarca, operations coordinator for KU Recycling. One of the main goals of the Rock Chalk Recycle initiative is to get as close to "zero waste" as possible, said Kari Cantarero, outreach coordinator for the Center for Sustainability. To reach zero waste status, 92 percent of the waste is diverted to be recycled or composted.

Kansas Athletics along with Rock Chalk Recycle created the initiative. RECYCLING FROM PAGE 1A The first home football game of the season was the first chance Rock Chalk Recycle had to implement their plan on a large scale. According to Cantanero, 63 percent more bags went to recycling and compost than went to the landfill. Cantarero said they considered this a big success for their first large event. They hope that the throw everything away in the trash can. When you have something you don't want anymore, you just throw it away", Cantarero said. "We want to educate people on the different options they have, rather than just putting it in the trash can and hoping it'll disappear." "We're trying to see how big we can make it. Our goal is to hit every athletics home event." KARI CANTANERO Center for Sustainability outreach coordinator program will continue to expand with every event that they work and as they continue to find ways to improve upon their efforts. "We're trying to see how big we can make it," Cantarero said. "Our goal is to hit every athletics home event, and that the program will grow." Along with reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills, another main goal of the initiative is to educate fans on what types of items can be recycled and composted, and what the benefits are of choosing to use these options. "Most people's go-to is to just "Waste ambassadors" will stand at every waste station during the games to help fans sort their trash into the different containers. An estimated 150 volunteers work as waste ambassadors during the games in Memorial Stadium. They are there to educate fans about the initiative and about what items can be kept out of the landfills, and instead recycled or composted. "We want to have that interaction with the fans to educate them, and help them sort out what they have" in their hands as they approach the waste stations." Severin said. To find out more information on volunteering to be a waste ambassador, please visit www.recycle.ku.edu/rockchalkrecycle. — Edited by Jessica Mitchell CAMPUS Program provides students with free safe rides home For years students have been able to find their way safely after a night of reveling and partying thanks to SafeBus and SafeRide. The programs were initially set up to deter drunk driving and help students safely reach their homes, according to KU Parking and Transit website. SafeBus operates from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and has four routes. The routes extend throughout campus and Lawrence going as far west as Wakarusa and south to 33rd street. Students have to present their KU IDs in order to ride the bus. Guests may ride with KU students for a $1 fee. This is limited to one guest per student. The SafeBus and SafeRide programs are not only for students who may be intoxicated, but also for people who want to get home safely. "I think it's a well-organized system that gets you home with safety being a priority," said Jay Bhakta, a student riding the SafeBus. SafeRide is available free of charge to students seven nights a week from 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. throughout the school year. SafeRide has been providing students with rides home for more than two decades.Both of the services are paid for by student fees which are allocated by the Student Senate. Riders must call the SafeRide hotline, 785-864-7233, state how many people need a ride confirm a pickup location and drop-off location. Just like the SafeBus program, students have to present their KU IDs and also have to show proof of residence to the drop-off location. Drivers' licenses and bills with the address can be used. SafeRide won't take students to a location other than the specified location. The average wait time is usually 20 to 30 minutes, but can become longer on busier nights. Three to eight SafeRide cars are on the road depending on the day of week, according to KU Parking and Transit website. Students can find routes, bus times and SafeRide information online at safebus.ku.edu. Jose Medrano THE U IT CAN This bus runs on batteries.

Edited by Jessica Mitchell City looks to improve game day shuttle service TRANSPORTATION YU KYUNG LEE ylee@kansan.com The city's game day shuttle proved to be popular during the Sept. 7 game against South Dakota, with almost 2,000 people taking the bus from downtown to the stadium for $1. The number of shuttle passengers for the first game increased about 15 percent from last season's average. The opening of the parking garage on 700 Vermont St., which provides 324 additional parking spaces, allowed for the increase in the number of passengers. We were kind of surprised that it opened early enough for the first game and we are attributing a lot of the ridership just to that garage alone," said Robert Nugent, Lawrence's public transit administrator. In fact, the buses weren't able to accommodate all the passengers in time, causing some to arrive late for the game. "We had some problems with getting vehicles caught up in congestion in and around between 9th and Vanbrook on Mississippi," Nugent said. "And buses do get crowded; it's not atypical of a bus to be operating a short distance with people standing in the bus." The city transit hopes to improve the service by adding four additional shuttles to the game day route as well as reviewing the supervision and organization of the buses. It has been five years since the city's transit organization started the game day shuttle to help alleviate the congestion around the stadium. "If you've ever parked in and around the stadium and in the Oread area, you are going to be lucky to get a parking space for $20. The closer it gets to the game time, the more you'll pay." Nugent "I think riding the shuttle is definitely something I would think about for the next game." HAYLEY HUME junior from Derby said. "It'll go up to about $40 for a parking place for a game." parking place The shuttle service can save people money, time and the stress of having to search for parking near the stadium. "I think riding the shuttle is definitely something I would think about for the next game," Hume said. "On game day, everyone knows it's crazy and impossible to find parking near the stadium, so having a place downtown that you can park and get to the stadium is a really good idea," said Hayley Hume, a junior from Derby who lives off campus. For the last game, Hume had to hike far from her parking spot to get to the stadium. Even students who don't need the shuttle service appreciate the shuttle service for alleviating traffic. "To take some of the cars away from the clutter of the student ghetto where all the students are living, it's a good way to keep things organized." Aden Lindholm. a sophomore from McPherson, said. "I think that when there's all those people walking around the stadium, to have less cars when there's definitely some intoxication involved, that makes it a lot safer for students." For now, the shuttle system is expanding to meet the increasing demands, but the popularity of the game day shuttle system for the rest of the season depends on how well Kansas plays. "As the season goes on, if you don't have a team that is competitive and successful, then your ridership goes down because people don't go to the games. But our ridership will continue to do well and grow as long as the team plays well." Nugent said. Edited by Jessica Mitchell KU1nfo People with O- blood types are universal donors.

OBAMACARE Health care: lives are worth more than tax dollars I'm well aware at this point that the fiscally responsible thing for me to do is die. And I know now that when I was denied coverage by every health insurance company in the nation, it was for the benefit of the American taxpayers. I get sick a lot and it's really expensive to keep me alive. My name is Will and I was born with an immune deficiency. That means my body doesn't protect me from diseases. I was in and out of the hospital all through infancy, and my mom almost didn't graduate because she was taking care of me 24/7. Looking back, I'm really lucky just to be here. I could've died in the womb when my umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck, or possibly from any of my five bouts with pneumonia. But I'm here now and I can say with certainty that I would've been just another dead baby if I were born in a different decade. Nineteen years is a lot to be thankful for. I think all any of us ever wants is to go to bed each night with the knowledge that we'll wake up the next morning and everything will still be there. We want to look into our loved ones' eyes and be confident that they'll always feel the same way. We want to know that we'll be taken care of when everything collapses. That's all insurance is. And I had it, briefly. I had a treatment that worked for me. I didn't worry about going to the hospital again. I woke up in the morning and felt a little bit of control over my life, like I could get out of bed and take on the day. It's not like that now, since I lost my coverage. I set my alarm 30 minutes ahead of when I actually need to get out of bed so I have time to convince myself that it's worth it. It's not always an easy argument when the insurance companies send the message that I'm not worth keeping alive. They wouldn't cover me. And then they wouldn't cover my family if they were in any way linked to me. The only thing I'm allowed By Will Webber wwebber@kansan.com is student insurance, and even then, they refused to cover the weekly blood infusions that keep me functioning. I'm getting treated now, but it's on their terms. ed now, but it's on my terms. I honestly don't know what medicine is coursing through my IV from one week to the next. I don't know where I'll get it either – they can send me to a clinic or a hospital across town, regardless of where I am. They don't care when I get it – sometimes even a day's delay can shut my entire body down. I remember when the hospital was closed on the 4th of July, and I just sat on my blanket, praying for the fireworks to end so I could go home and pass out. I've lived the past year at the mercy of the insurance companies. They can do whatever they want with me, and I'll suffer the consequences, the bill and the side effects. I don't have control over any of it. I try to pretend I do, but I have constant reminders that I only wake up each morning because of modern medicine and the people who ration it. One of my lowest moments ended with me covered in tears and Cheerios - my limbs were trembling so severely that I couldn't grip my cereal bowl. That's not control. I wish just one time that my doctor would sitate before telling me that I'll be like this forever. I wish that my parents never had to worry about outliving me. I wish I could talk about my future with my girlfriend without her voice wavering a little. I wish people would stop doing that little sympathetic double-nod when I tell them I'm gonna live to be 100, the same nid they give me when I say I want to be an anchor for CNN someday. But above all else, I wish people would stop thinking that an inconsequential amount of their tax dollars is in anyway more important than my life, or any other. I could die tomorrow and you might save a little bit on your premium. The taxes on your paycheck might round down a cent. But I don't plan on dying. I've made it this far largely because I'm 19 and my body is strong enough to take daily abuse, but mostly because I have the best support system in the world and my parents can spare thousands of dollars in medical expenses, time-consuming phone calls and arguments with insurance companies. LIFE The economy is in a bad place right now, but I think I'd rather be morally responsible instead. But other people do the fiscally responsible thing and just die.

'Best years of your life continue after graduation My friends know that I'm one independent son-of-a-gun, and I don't like to be told what to do, so this bothers me more than most people. Still, I hear the "best years of your life" mantra a lot, and it always rubs me the wrong way. Even if you don't mention the fact that not everyone goes to college, even if you don't consider that everyone has different plans for their "best" years, even if you don't accept that this is a generalized cliché no better than "Live, laugh, love," this is still a ridiculous statement. Sometimes when I tell people what I'm doing in school - working, interning, double minoring, being in campus orgs, generally getting no sleep - I hear the same advice. "College is the best four years of your life I, for example, spent much of my freshman year in my dorm room watching seasons of "The Office," sitting by myself at lunch and generally feeling very out of place in my new environment. Was I wasting one of the FOUR BEST YEARS EVER? No, I wasn't. That's just how it played out. Freshman year wasn't one of the best years of my life, and it's the same for a lot of people, sometimes for their entire college career. No part of your life is the "absolute best" or the "absolute worst." There are positives and negatives to each stage of our lives, and each stage comes at exactly the right time. - live a little!" Like I should be out streaking through Memorial Stadium or something. By Lindsey Mayfield lmayfield@kansan.com Furthermore, it's unhealthy to spend too much time trying to eke every bit of enjoyment out of college, or mourning its end after we enter "the real world." No, I refuse to believe that my life is over once I pass through the Campanile in May, and I'm not even going to put you through that "commencement means beginning" lecture. I know that I've got a lot more to look forward to, even after these four years are over. Want to know some non-college times that I'm really looking excited about? Being that jaded old woman who gets to say anything she wants because she stopped caring about 15 years ago. Seriously, how cool are old people? They just move to Florida, play a lot of golf and run their mouths, and no one can say anything to them because it's their prerogative. Or how about when I'm able to make my first major purchase with my own paycheck? For me, signing a lease on my own apartment or being able to support myself in a city I love will be a pretty kick-ass time, not to mention when all my hard work pays off and I land a really cool TV-producer job. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm pretty unsure about tiny humans, but how about those of you who do want to have children someday? The first time you see your baby's face, that first year with him or her at home, their first words, their first steps? You can't tell me those won't be some of the best times in your lives, just don't call me to babysit. The point is, college certainly may be your favorite time in your whole life. Or not. We should get everything we can out of college, especially since not everyone has the privilege of a higher education, but we have to give ourselves the freedom to enjoy life without setting a deadline of four years to do more amazing things than we will in the next 50. Because how depressing does that make it when we graduate? I have faith in you, Jayhawks. You're going to be doing some truly amazing things with your lives. Don't restrict yourself to the idea that you'll never do anything greater than getting to sleep in every day or hitting Mass Street with your friends - even though those things are awesome. I hope these years are as happy carefree and personally fulfilling as they possibly can be. I hope you find work that inspires you, friends to withstand the test of time and the confidence to see all your plans through. But there's so much more to come, believe me. Lindsey Mayfield is a senior studying journalism, public policy and leadership from Overland Park. CAMPUS out. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to attend the University of Kansas. I can remember watching KU basketball games as early as 2000. I always idolized Nick Bradford and Jeff Boschee, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich. My love for the school itself grew when my family got season tickets for football in 2005. From then on, my fall Saturdays consisted of walking through campus and downtown Lawrence on our way to the game. Environment changes one's concept of home I walked into my room, and it just didn't seem to be home. I didn't feel as comfortable as I had a week prior. This was the room I grew up in, the room where I played with Legos and had sleepovers with friends. I had never lived anywhere else. How could things change so quickly? How could my dorm room make me feel me more at home than my house of 18 years? Though they are both gone now, some of my favorite times in Lawrence, other than sitting in the bowl of Memorial Stadium, were spent at Yello Sub and Joe's Donuts -- Yello Sub was always an early dinner or lunch right before we headed to the stadium and Joe's Donuts was always an after-game treat if the 'Hawks pulled off the victory that day. Now when I'm eating Yello Sub, I'm not with them. I eat Planet Sub with them, in Kansas City. But my Creamy Club just doesn't taste the same. never really thought about what it would be like when I returned home after moving And when I'm wandering the campus, or looking for something to do after a football game, I'm not with my family.

Follow us on Twitter Tweet UNK By GJ Melia gmelia@kansan.com As I jammed my key into the door and then took one step in my house, it didn't seem much different. Nothing had been moved, nothing was out of place. But there was something -- something that I couldn't pinpoint. I realized that my mindset had changed. I wasn't quite the same kid that grew up in this house. I realized that things hadn't changed so quickly. It was a long process, and it turns out that I'm much more prepared to live on my own then I had originally thought. Sure I miss my old home, but Lawrence is where I'll be for awhile. Though it's not the same process by any means, I've found that I've had to grow up a great deal in the short time I have spent here in Lawrence. And that "growing up" will only continue each day in college. I will make new memories and have new experiences here, much like the ones I had as a kid. Those past experiences made me who I am today, as surely as the experiences I have in Lawrence will make me who I will be in the future. G. J. Melia is a freshman majoring in Journalism from Prairie Village playing follow-the-leader to my parents. It's weird. Really weird. Everyone said it would be, but it never fully hit me until now.

His performance kicked off the Granada's two-week celebration in honor of its 20th anniversary of playing live music. The lineup will also feature AFI, Minus the Bear and Rancid. dlysen@kansan.com Now that the Granada has reached its 20th anniversary of hosting live music, Owner Mike Logan said the historic downtown venue has something to party about. When it's time to party, the Granada parties hard. "They (The Granada) don't cater to any specific genre, they're really an equal opportunity venue in The Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., began its two-week celebration with a performance from the party master Andrew W.K. on Tuesday night. The rest of the celebration will feature a diverse lineup of music acts from Sept. 17-30, including A.F.I., Best Coast, Minus the Bear, Stoney LaRue and Rancid. "The Goonies! I think, touches a lot of people in music, and it's a cult classic," Logan said. But that's not all. Because the venue was originally operated as a movie theater from the 1930s to the late '80s, Logan wants to honor the past and host an outdoor viewing on Sept. 26 of a classic film that once opened at the Granada — "The Goonies." Logan became the owner of the venue about 10 years ago. He said when he took control of the venue the main performances were DJs and club music. Logan said he wanted to make a change, and now the venue produces shows from several different musical genres. that sense, and I think that's what makes it so great," said Quinn Brabender, the drummer of local punk band Sovereign States who has performed at the Granada. "On Monday night it might be packed with 800 people in cowboy boots for a country show, and on Tuesday night it might be filled with long hairied metal heads." The Granada has been able to pull in large acts while competing with venues outside of Lawrence, including Kansas City's Sprint Center. Logan said he's surprised how much music the city of Lawrence can attract for its size. "Lawrence as a whole, it's amazing how many live music venues are able to sustain themselves," Logan said. "There could be four tour buses downtown on any random Wednesday night, which is pretty neat." 1906 MASSACHUSETTS STREET LAWRENCE, KS 66446 Logan said the Granada tries to attract talent from a national, regional and local perspective. But with talent coming in to the Granada from all over the country, it may seem that local acts don't get enough recognition. Local singer/songwriter Taryn Miller, known as Your Friend, said she's been going to shows at the Granada since she was 15. Miller, now 22, said she understands why the Granada may not allow local bands to play the venue immediately. "It's a lot of work, and it's a big stage," Miller said. "There are a lot of people involved and I'm sure that's why they're really selective when they do include local acts." 9-19 CRYPTOQUIP CRYPTOQUIP K MJABGTXASC MAFTRASFTX XTKJJV RKSBTF BU YXACGBTS UYY BGKB CDV, ZDB GT XTYDMTF BU ZT XKBBJTF.

"I think if they opened that door, they would help local acts out a ton," Brabender said. "It's hard enough as it is, being a local band and not having a following and not feeling like you have any ground to gain. But if bands had more opportunities to hop on bigger shows, their fanbase can grow and they can move up to bigger and better things." But Miller said she would like to see change in a much more simple fashion. "I'd like them to open up the balcony," Miller said. "I'll be honest about that, I miss that aspect of the venue." Edited by Jessica Mitchell News from the U A student's take on Café Spice The KU Memorial Unions conducts an annual campus survey to keep its finger on the pulse of student preferences. For the last few years, survey results showed a growing interest in the availability of Indian food, particularly because of its focus on vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. With the start of the fall semester, KU Dining Services introduced Café Spice to the Underground at Wescoe. last week we sent KU junior Sydney Goldstein to Café Spice to have lunch and provide us with a review: "I had the pleasure of testing out Café Spice, the newest addition to The Underground, with Bev, one of my co-workers. Arriving at the counter, we were greeted with a smile and a hello from one of the employees. The large well-lit menu offered numerous selections, including appetizers, combo meals, naan sandwiches, and sides, with plenty of options for vegan and vegetarian eaters. We sat down and dug into the appetites. This was my first time trying Aloo Tikki, a potato and spice cutlet, enjoy it, and while it had a great heat element to it, I felt it could have a bit more spice. The Chicken Samosa was an absolute winner—a luscious mini pie with a very tasty filling. After looking over our options, we ordered an Aloo Tikki and a Chicken Samosa as appetizers and the combo meal of Tikka Masala and Vegetable Korma for lunch. Our meal came with lemon rice and naan, an Indian flatbread. The combo meal was huge and filled the to-go container to its brim. The Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious It was not too spicy, but had enough kick to make my taste buds jump for joy. The Vegetable Korma was very good; the sauce left at the bottom of the container paired perfectly with the noan. With the addition of an extra piece of nean, our meal for two totaled about $12.00. The entrée alone was $7.50, which was very reasonable for the amount of food received. Bee and I both had full stomachs and leftovers once we finished. I highly recommend Café Spice — it's a great addition to KU and its location in the heart of campus is perfect. Make sure to try the Chicken Samosa! Thanks, Sydney. And thanks to KU Dining Services for keeping campus food options in tune with student preferences.

In July 2012, Kansas passed a liquor law that allowed all liquor-serving establishments in the state to begin offering happy hours, or periods of time in which alcohol is offered at a discounted rate. The previous law, passed in 1985, prohibited establishments from offering happy hours by outlawing the altering of drink prices at all throughout the day. This often put owners in the awkward position of either offering all-day specials or offering no specials at all. "[The law] restricted lots of common sense decisions from being made once a special ran out or was discovered to not be effective," said Chris Hoffman, general manager of The Burger Stand. "Previously, we had to run specials all day long, in essence giving away liquor during the dinner rush when customers would gladly pay full price." Many Lawrence-area bars have taken full advantage of the legislation by offering their own customized, daily drink specials. The Burger Stand is one, now offering what Hoffman refers to as "reverse happy hour," or a late night happy hour instead of the more common afternoon or early evening time slot. "We are already busy during lunch and dinner," he said, "it's late night, after 10 p.m. that we needed help, so all of our happy hours actually begin at 10 p.m." Lindsay Robinson, general manager of the Jayhawker bar at The Eldridge, agrees the law has given "Happy hour brings more people downtown. It encourages them to get out and see what's going on." LINDSAY ROBINSON Jayhawker bar general manager bars more flexibility, as well as more customers. "We've definitely seen an increase in traffic," Robinson said. "Happy hour brings more people downtown. It encourages them to get out and see what's going on." and see how happy he is. The Jayhawker's happy hour offers drink and food combination specials and takes place late afternoons from Monday to Friday. The addition of happy hour to Kansas has been especially appealing to students, many of whom are living on a fixed budget and are on the lookout for cheap drinks. "I usually just go to wherever has the best drink specials, so I can try to conserve some money," said Mike Holmes, a senior from Knoxville, Tenn. "I love happy hours and I'm glad to see them back in Kansas." According to the Alcohol Beverage Institute, prior to the passing of the law, Kansas was one of 24 states to have some kind of ban on happy hours. Lawmakers argue the restriction was an effort to decrease binge drinking and drunk driving, which many thought the specials encouraged. Robinson disagrees with this sentiment, and said that the responsibility to ensure customer safety lies with the bar or restaurant. "We pay very close attention to our customers" she said. "We don't over serve. It's on the establishment to keep their guests safe." Hoffman agrees, saying cutting off customers before extreme intoxication is "a bartender's duty," but also offers another thought. "Binge drinking isn't the response to allowing happy hours," he said. "Happy hours are the response to recognizing that binge drinking isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Not in America, and especially not in a small college town like Lawrence, Kan."

ASSOCIATED PRESS in the world of entertainment EMMY AWARDS Ken Ehrlich, left, executive producer of Sunday's 65th Emmy Awards telecast with host, Neil Patrick Harris, center. 65th Emmy Awards to name best in TV Browsing through the categories and their nominees, it looks like the competition will be very tight. For Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, the nominees are Tina Fey, Amy Poelher, Edie Falco, Lena Dunham, Don't forget to turn your TVs to the 2013 Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night to find out if your favorite stars take home an award. This will be the 65th award ceremony, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. The Emmy Awards recognize the best of television for the year. Categories for the awards include Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Miniseries or Movie. Another fun category is the Outstanding Host for a Reality or Julia-Louis Dreyfus and Laura Dern. I believe it will come down to Fey and Poehler. In my opinion, Fey is the funniest lady in comedy, with Poehler as a close second of course. Fey is hilarious, not only on "30 Rock," but in many well-known movies including "Mean Girls" and "Date Night." She should definitely win for Lead Actress. A few of those funny ladies star in shows that are up for the award "Best Comedy." The category includes "30 Rock," "Girls," "Louie," "Modern Family," "The Big Bang Theory" and "Veep." My guess is that it will come down to "Modern Family," "The Big Bang Theory" and "30 Rock," which ended in January 2013. These are all very popular shows, but with the "30 Rock" series ending, it would be great for them to win one last award. Another fun category is the nearty-Competition Program. Betty White, Ryan Seacrest, Heidi Klum, Tom Bergeron, Anthony Bourdain, Timm Gunn and Cat Deeley are all competing for this title. My hope is that Betty White wins. Everybody knows and loves her. Ryan Seacrest is another great option as he is a household name in television. However, it is possible that a lesser known host will take home the award. Interestingly, Klam and Gunn are up against each other, both hosts of "Project Runway." That show is very popular so one of them just might win. It is sure to be an exciting night with so many of everyone's favorite celebrities in attendance. There are so many more award categories set for award night and it is sure to be exciting. If you are a fan of TV don't miss the awards on Sunday.

This year the KU Band Day parade won't be taking place in downtown Lawrence. The announcement has been met with disappointment from many, especially the KU Bands. "We're bummed. I mean the whole band department is just really bummed, cause we look forward to it too. It's a fun event, it really is," said Sharon Toulouse, assistant director of Bands. For 66 years, KU Band Day has been a tradition for the Marching Jayhawks. It is a partnership between the the Marching Jayhawks and different high school bands in the area. For this year, 18 high schools are participating. Together the bands usually have a parade through downtown Lawrence to Memorial Field, a band rehearsal at the stadium and then play at halftime. The KU Bands administration decided to cancel the parade section of KU Band Day due to an early kickoff time. Due to NCAA rules that specify that the football ASHLEIGH LEIGH/KANSAN 100 field must be clear two hours prior to kickoff time, the Band administration decided the parade wasn't feasible. "The parade would have had to begin at about 5 a.m. in order to get back to the stadium, to rehearse and to get off of the field in time for the team to take the field and warm up as well." Toulouse said. The announcement has been met with resounding disappointment from the Band department. "For us Band Day is just a really great experience," said Kelsey James, a junior from Overland-Park. "It's really disappointing that they are canceling a big part of it, but we're going to do it next year." Despite those initial feelings, she emphasized that this year's KU Band Day will still be a memorable event, even with the absence of the parade. LibArt displays an average of 100 works from up to 40 different student artists in libraries across campus. Toulouse shared in this sentiment and stated that while high school band students may be let down, they are still going to have a positive experience. The Marching Jav Hawks performs at the Sept. 7 football game against South Dakota. Kansas won 31-14 "I mean, the students, yes, are absolutely disappointed, but they are at least getting to participate in some capacity in Band Day," Toulouse said. Campus libraries feature student art UK - Edited by Jessica Mitchell EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN csisk@kansan.com Tens of thousands of students walk through the doors of the libraries each year. These students have been subjected to white walls and uniform spaces in the past, but that has all changed. LibArt hosted a reception yesterday in Watson Library. The LibArt program was created in 2012 by the KU Libraries to collaborate and enrich the student experience. All of the student artists whose works are featured this year were recognized for their contributions. Roughly 100 works from 35 to 40 artists are featured on an annual basis. "We are pleased by the growth in submissions over the years and hope to see continued growth," said Courtney Foat, Chair of the LibArt committee. All students, not just Art and Design majors, are encouraged to apply and have their work shown in one of the three locations. Applicants' art may be displayed in Anschutz, Watson and Spencer Research libraries. Joe Kirchhoff, a senior from Over Anyone wishing to apply must submit a formal portfolio online with five digital representations of their artwork. After all of the portfolios are compiled, a committee made up of library staff with backgrounds in art and art history reviews them.

"I'm glad that I can share my work with other students in such a public forum," "These walls would have been blank otherwise. Why buy cheap commercial art when there are students that would love to have their work feaured doing amazing things right here on campus," Mikulecky said. Rachel Forrest, a senior from Oklahoma. said In the future, the staff hopes to expand in order to accommodate 3-D works on location in the libraries.

She was joined at Tuesday's affair by her "Scandal" co-stars Joe Morton and Dan Bucatinsky, who nibbed the outstanding guest actor in a drama Emmay at Saturday's Creative Arts Emmys. Other attendees who sipped vintage cocktails and noshed on minigyros and stuffed grape leaves included Wilson Cruz, Ron Glass, Sharon Lawrence and Lisa Vidal. "We all know what the Emmys mean," said Jason George, the "Grey's Anatomy" and "Mistresses" actor who serves as the chair of SAG-AFTRA's diversity advisory committee.

During similar struggles last season, it was quarterback play that doomed the Jayhawk offense. This year, the receiving corps has looked like the worst unit in the country, dropping too many well-placed throws from junior quarterback Jake Heaps. "I couldn't sit there and identify dropped balls as a problem because a lot of the balls weren't close enough to be caught," head coach Charlie Weis said of last season's offensive woes. "Now the ball is getting to the spot most of the time, we just need to do a better job of throwing and catching." Throwing and catching. It seems easy enough, especially when Heaps has shown he is capable of putting the ball where it needs to be. But eventually, the inability to haul in passes is less of a case of the yips and more of a case of skill. Or lack thereof. Charlie Weis was proactive after last week's 23-14 loss to Rice, benching starting tight end Jimmay Mundine and wide receivers Justin McCay and Christian Matthews in favor of tight end Trent Smiley and receivers Rodriguez Coleman and Tre Parmalee. Weis would be wise to figure out how to get the ball into playmaker Anthony Pierson's hands as much as possible. Pierson turned a simple five-yard catch into a 77-yard touchdown against Rice, tying the game at seven and reminding Kansas fans that he and senior running James Sims should touch the ball nearly every possession. Weis rightfully admitted that Rice double teamed Pierson a number of times and stacked the defense near the line of scrimmage to contain Sims, and both strategies worked for the most part. But players with that kind of talent under a three-time Super Bowl winning offensive coordinator should be able to get the ball in situations where they can score a number of times each game. Weis knew he had to make personnel changes offensively this week, and he did. Whether he can tweak his playbook to utilize his two scoring options could be the difference between a pleasantly surprising season and another off-season of Kansas fans hoping for the best but expecting their shadow to jump out and scare them. Or just drop a pass.

A: 14 Brett Grossman --- THE MORNING BREW Student managers contribute to team success Everyone loves college athletics. The adrenaline rush we receive right before game time, the excitement we experience as the clock winds down, and don't forget the emotions that come out, revealing the love we have for our team. The coaches and athletes we watch and admire put in countless hours of hard work and dedication to try and achieve the goals they aspire to reach. However, when talking about college athletics, there is one group of people fans often forget about - student managers. These hard working people are the ones doing everything fans do not see. What people do not know is that student managers put in more hours than the athletes themselves. They are the ones setting up practice before it starts, cleaning up practice when it's over, wiping up the blood, sweat, and tears the athletes shed, and even doing laundry for the athletes and the opposing team, usually after midnight. By Ryan Levine rlevine@kansan.com A common misconception about student managers is that they only received the position because they were not good enough to make the actual team. False. Student managers are out there, participating in practice and engaging with the athletes because they have the same drive, passion, and work ethic as the athletes themselves. Knowing they will never suit up and see any playing time, student managers still put forth their best effort to succeed, because they care about winning just as much as anyone else in the athletic department. They do all of the little things that go unnoticed, receiving almost no recognition for their work. Yet, student managers continue to do the most important thing of all, prepare the athletes and coaches. Whether it is during hours when most people are sleeping, or hours in which people are in class, student managers are always doing something to make sure athletes are ready to succeed. They make sure coaches can properly do their job by preparing scouting reports on the opposing team, or picking up a recruit from the airport. The great thing about being a student manager, and the reason why I have so much admiration for them, is that they are a part of something bigger than themselves and are humble about it. Being a student manager teaches you the essence of what it is like to be around people whose success depends KU so next time you see a student manager hand a player a water bottle and a towel, don't think of them as just a waterboy.

Wednesday NCAA Volleyball Italy U-23 National 6:30 p.m. Lawrence Hubert, Rose leading Kansas State ground game ASSOCIATED PRESS MANHATTAN — Running for 41 yards on 23 carries wasn't going to cut it in Bill Snyder's offense. After all, running the ball has been a cornerstone at Kansas State ever since Snyder arrived on campus in the late 1980s. The school has produced standouts such as Darren Proles and Daniel Thomas, and last year had one of the nation's top rushing quarterbacks in Collin Klein. So when the Wildcats produced 41 yards rushing in a season-opening loss to North Dakota State, it was time to regain their focus. And the result has been 479 yards rushing in a pair of wins, including 329 yards against Massachusetts last Saturday night. "Ever since North Dakota State, we didn't do too good with the run," running back Robert Rose said. "We kind of took that personally and kind of made it our business to be effective with our ground game because at K-State that is what we do, we run the ball." Whether it's the downhill, between-the-tackles running or starter John Hubert or breakaway speed from Rose — not to mention the slippery skills of backup quarterback Daniel Sams — the Wildcats are equipped to cause Texas plenty of trouble in their Big 12 opener on Saturday night. BYU ran for 550 yards against the Longhorns a couple weeks ago, which prompted coach Mack Brown to replace defensive coordinator Manny Diaz with Greg Robinson. They fared little better last weekend against Ole Miss, allowing 272 yards on the ground. "That was BYU, that was Ole Mie and those were those games," Rose said. "It could be a whole different game when we play Texas. Those guys will be fired up." So will the Wildcats (2-1), who are finally starting to get up to speed. Hubert was limited to fewer than 3 yards per carry through the first two games, but he broke free for 118 yards on just 18 carries against the Minutenet. That performance allowed the senior to become the ninth Kansas State running back to run for more than 2,000 yards. 'Hubert is going to get his chances to *get* free.' 'wide receiver Traimain to get free, wide receive Thompson said. "And when he does, he's a beast when he gets going." The 5-foot-7 frame of Hubert has a tendency to hide behind the offensive line, but Snyder believes it's his physicality that is most handy. He's the best option between the tackl "John has that good lower body strength," Snyder said. "We don't have anybody that would run it more physically." CC That's a bit different than. Rose, who stands 5-foot-4 and prefers to get around the edges. Rose had only 13 carries for 44 it could be a whole different game when we play Texas. Those guys will be fired up." y 13 carries for 44 ROBERT ROSE KSU running back to carry 10 yards coming into the season, but he finally got a chance to shine against Massachusetts. He ran five times for 39 yards and scored his first touchdown. "I think I have great assets that can help us win," Rose said. "I want those to be utilized so I have to continue to put myself in a position to where they could be." The fourth-year senior said he's fine taking any role in the Wildcat offense. "It doesn't really matter. I don't have to get the ball," he said. "I would do fine with blocking, catching or whatever the case may be. I just want to be utilized." Despite his small stature, Rose isn't a pushover, either. And along with Hubert, he gives the Wildcats a pair of options who can be hard for defenders to find. "They want to perform well just like everybody else," center BJ Finney said. "They might be small, but they can sure run, they can get underneath people and move."

"Half back, receiver, whatever you want to call it, I'm that," Pierson said. "Offensive player." Perhaps Kansas' most valued asset, Pierson has taken on many identities this season in an attempt to properly utilize his broad skill set – a skill set quarterback lake Heaps - a skill set quarterback Jake Heaps is particularly fond of. "He's definitely the fastest guy I've been around and maybe the most all around dynamic guy I've been around." Heaps said. "I've played with top guys all around the country and the skill set that he has to be able to do what he does: catch the ball, run 1 KANSAS 3 "He's definitely the fastest guy I've been around and maybe the most all-around dynamic guy I've been around." ning routes, being a running back, it's a pleasure to be playing with a guy like that." Kansas is up to its neck in pressure to perform, but the team can relieve some of that pressure with its talent at the running back position. Kansas Jayhawks running back Tony Pierson looks onto his team as the Jayhawks are defeated by the Rice Owls on Sept. 14. The Jayhawks lost 23-14. Team captain and running back James Sims has been confirmed as the number one running back by head coach Charlie Weis on multiple occasions this year. Junior college transfer Darrian Miller has proven that he has starting capability if he weren't behind Sims, and in Weis' press conference Tuesday, vens admitted he wanted to get Bourbon involved even more this Saturday when the 1-1 Jayhawks take on Louisiana Tech at home. That's a packed depth chart; too packed for a running back overflowing with talent. If Pierson was restricted to the running back position, he could be a top contender. Pierson is a playmaker, and his attributes are too abundant for to be restricted to the most crowded position on the depth chart, especially for a Kansas offense that be- JAKE HEAPS Junior quarterback been lackluster for the entirety of Pierson's career. MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN But Pierson is the kind of guy that can change that. For starters, he has accepted additional roles as slot receiver and wide receiver and, not surprisingly, it's worked. Pierson has touched the ball 12 times this year and averages 14.75 yards per touch. That's a large chunk of yards and something very noticeable to opposing defenses. That's why Piterson's touches have been limited and that's also why the Kansas offense tends to become stagnant. make plays and has a "touchdown every touch" mentality, that's not too exciting. "It's a pain." Pierson said. "I don't really know how to explain it but I do know it's a pain on me. I know that much." Pierson is Kansas' 'x-factor' and he is well aware of it. He needs to be. It's simple, the Kansas offense is better when Pierson touches the ball, and getting Pierson more involved is, and very well should be a main focus of Weis and Heaps this week. Heaps said that Kansas went into their second game at Rice with a game plan revolving around Pierson. Heaps expected Pierson to have a big game, but when Rice made adjustments to double team Pierson, Kansas chose to spread the ball around to other receivers. The plan didn't work though: dropped passes plagued the Kansas offense for a second-straight week. Edited by Evan Dunbar VOLLEYBALL Mayfield kills it for Kansas I BRIAN HILLIX bhillix@kansan.com In 2011, senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield was the focal point of the offense. She topped the Big 12 with 4.16 kills per set, led the Jayhawks in kills in 26 of 29 matches and set the singleseason kill record at Kansas with 462. Despite Mayfield's stellar season, the Jayhawks went 15-14 with a 3-13 record in conference play. Opposing defenses centered their defensive efforts on Mayfield knowing Kansas lacked firepower elsewhere in the lineup. Only two other players for Kansas led the teams in kills in a single match that season. "A few years ago we were dependent on one or two people." Coach Ray Bechard said. "If they had an off night we were kind of in trouble." Since the end of the 2011 season, Kansas has gone 33-10, a record that can be attributed to a balanced offensive attack. Already this season, five players have led the team in kills in a match. At least three players have notched double-digit kills in seven of the ten matches. While teams will be targeting All- American redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, a "It allows us to keep our opponent's defense guessing a little bit more." RAY BECHARD coach handful of players are prepared to shoulder the load when opponents try to stop her. This gives the Jayhawks an edge because teams won't be able to focus on just one or two players the entire match. "It allows us to keep our opponent's defense guessing a little bit more." Bechard said. Bechard recalled two matches when the defense zoned in on Jarmoc and another player stepped up in a big way. Against Oklahoma last year, senior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael pounded a career-high 18 kills to help lead the Jayhawks to a five-set victory in Norman, Okla. Last week against Wisconsin, sophomore outside hitter Tiana Dockery led the way with a career-high 21 kills to help seal a five-set road victory. Bechard said it takes the pressure off of everybody on the team. If one or two players are having an off night offensively, there are two or three players who can pick up the slack. It makes the job easier for senior setter Erin McNorton. "If one player isn't doing her best, I have a lot of options," McNorton said. The chances are also greater that at least one player is on top of her game. If there is a hot hitter, McNorton will be sure to take advantage.

With the amount of drops and some changes in the offensive depth chart, Heaps still has time to fill out as a quarterback. Heaps has two new wide receivers in the depth chart this weekend in Rodriguez Coleman and Tre Parmalee - two guys that can supposedly catch the ball. Change is good, but progress is better. James Sims is still doing James Sims, but it'll be interesting to see if Weis throws it more downfield or sticks to his power running game with Sims. POSITION NAME NO.

Kansas shouldn't be looking to Pardula as much against La. Tech. Matthew Wyman has only attempted two field goal through two games, hitting from 45-yards and missing from 47. It would nice to see how much leg Wyman really has, but to do that Kansas needs to move into better positions offensively for him to show it off. COACHING DEFENSE Weis has a chance to bounce back at home after a tough loss on the road. This is where coaching factors in. This is a must win for Weis, who is already on the hot seat in just the third game of his second season at Kansas. If Weis loses this one, he could be on his way out of Lawrence before the end of the season. Losing top Junior College recruit Chris Martin is all in the past, as the defense has been clicking. Ben Heeney is still the driving force of this group, leading a pass rush that has shown great improvement, already compiling six sacks this year, compared to just nine last season. Ben Goodman and Michael Reynolds have been a devastating force at the Buck linebacker position as well. The secondary has also been more effective than last season as Isaiah Johnson and Dexter McDonald are coming off big games in Houston. POSITION NAME NO.

Another prized recruit of Weis' class this year, Coleman enters a receiving corps that has tallied nine drops this season. He's seen a couple of snaps, but he looks to get the first catch of his college career on Saturday. AT A GLANCE La. Tech brings a new head coach in Skip Holtz who is trying to get out of his father, Lou Holtz's, shadow. Lou coached Notre Dame in the 80s and lead them to the Fiesta Bowl in 1988, just as Weis did in 2006 during his tenure there. Skip can take a big step if he beats Weis and Kansas Saturday in the first matchup between these two coaches. BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF ... They can win their second game of the season. This La. Tech team is coming off a 15-24 loss to Tulane, so I wouldn't say they're even close to being a parallel to Rice. With a new coach and losing six players on offense, Kansas should squeak by in this one. O QUESTION MARKS Can the changes on the offensive roster make a difference? We don't know if it will make an immediate impact, but if the receivers can decrease their drops, that's progress. Also what will Weis' gameplan be? He ran the ball heavily during the first game, then strayed away from that against Rice. It will be interesting to see - if Kansas takes the lead - how Weis uses the running game. ?? ? .

X THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN --- THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2013 PAGE 58 FOOTBALL GAMEDAY PREVIEW LOUISIANA TECH LA TECH m ma STARTING LINEUP OFFENSE The Louisiana Tech offense scored 51 points per game in 2012, but the Bulldogs return just three starters this year. After three games, there has been a huge drop-off in scoring, at just under 19 points per game. Right guard Matt Sheppard is the only returning starter on the offensive line. POSITION NAME NO.

J. Banks will return kicks for LA Tech. He's described as an "explosive returner" by the Louisiana Tech media guide. Banks was named first team all-WAC as a return specialist in 2012, when he returned kickoffs for a season total of more than 1,000 yards and a touchdown. LA Tech had to outscore teams last season to win, because its defense was about as bad as it gets. They allowed an average of 526 yards and 36 points per game last season. The defensive line is the only real strength. The Bulldogs seem to have improved as a unit, though it's still early in the season. NC State, Lamar and Tulane have averaged a combined 26 points against the LA Tech defense. POSITION NAME NO. YEAR LE Vontarrius Dora 98 R-So.

Enemkpali enters the Kansas game tied for the national lead in sacks at 4.5. With Charlie Weis moving Riley Spencer to first string at right tackle in place of Zach Fondal, it should be interesting to see how the Jayhawks' offensive line holds up against a dangerous pass rusher like Enemkpali. PLAYER TO WATCH OLLOW @KANSANSPORTS FOR UPDATES DURING THE GAME SATURDAY AT A GLANCE Similar to Kansas, LA Tech is coming off of a week in which its offense failed to produce. The Bulldogs scored 15 points against Tulane while giving up 24. LA Tech will enter Memorial Stadium at 1-2, after losing to NC State and Tulane, and defeating Lamar. COACHING Skip Holtz is in his first year as the head coach at LA Tech, following the departure of Sonny Dykes who is now the coach at Cal. Holtz most recently spent three years as coach of South Florida where he finished with a record of 16-21, and 5-16 in the Big East. Holtz has also coached at Connecticut and East Carolina, and had winning records during his time at both schools. MOMENTUM The Bulldogs do not have much of it after a 24-15 loss to Tulane. They have become accustomed to winning games with their offense, but right now LA Tech is struggling to figure out how they will put points on the scoreboard.

Edited by Madison Schultz NCAA Brown facing tough times at Texas with 1-2 start ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — These are tough times for Texas coach Mack Brown. How tough? Brown got booed when he asked Longhorns fans to donate to charity. That happened last Saturday when his team trailed Ole Miss in the first quarter of what ended in a second consecutive blowout loss. A pre-recorded public service announcement to promote charitable giving prompted fans to show their frustration with a coach who won a national title in 2005 but hasn't been able to pull the program out of a three-year skid. It wasn't the entire stadium booing, but it was loud enough to be heard in a crowd of more than 101.000. Brown shrugged off the boos Monday, comparing his team's 1-2 start to the 1-2 start in 1998, his first season when Texas and Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams won nine of their next 10 games. He even joked about it. In '98, a friend told Brown he was so unpopular that "I couldn't find enough friends to be pall bearers at my funeral," Brown said. Texas fans chuckled along with the folksy Brown when times were good. They aren't laughing now. "They don't have to like me. I'm not very happy with me right now," Brown said. And his message to the fans who booed "Pull for the players ... Forget the coaches, come for the kids." Just a few years ago, most Texas fans loved Brown. From 2001-2009, Texas won at less 10 games every year. From 2004-2009, the Longhorns went 69-9, winning the national title in 2005 and playing for another four years later. Brown was on a roll. Top recruits were pouring in and there was nothing to suggest the wheels were about to come off the juggernaut. But a 5-7 crash in 2010, an overall record of 23-18 the last four seasons — including an 11-10 home mark over that span — have left fans howling and Brown defending his job status on a weekly basis. Brown dismissed rumors about his job that swirl on Internet message boards by the hour if not by the minute. Brown has a solid base of support in critical places. Last week, University of Texas President Bill Powers and athletic director DeLoss "They've been swirling for 16 years," Brown said. Dodds gave strong public statements supporting Brown — public back from the two most powerful officials on campus, both of whom Brown counts among his closest allies. Billionaire donors Joe Jamail and Red McCombs have also strongly endorsed Brown. Jamail, whose name is on the field at Royal-Memorial Stadium, is Brown's personal attorney his fiercest advocate off campus. "The shortest emotion in human nature is gratitude," Jamail said of the sniping at Brown from Texas fans. "He's done a good job for us." And Jamail noted that the crowd at the Ole Miss game was the third largest in stadium history. Even after three lean seasons, Brown offered hope the Longhorns would return to their place among the national elite this year. Texas returned 19 starters from last season's 9-4 team. But that was before losses of 40-21 to BYU and 44-23 to Mississippi. Brown hasn't given up hope he can turn things around. Immediately after the Ole Miss loss, Brown said he'd talk to his team about trying to win the Big 12. A conference title would be just his third in 16 seasons at Texas. "That's all we have left," Brown said. On Sunday, a group of Texas seniors who haven't won a league title addressed the team, saying they wanted to leave with a title. "Let's keep fighting," sophomore running back Jonathan Gray said. Brown said he's looked around the Big 12 and sees a "wide open" conference race in a year the league appears to lack a dominant team. Oklahoma State is the [Photo of a man wearing headphones in front of a microphone.] ASSOCIATED PRESS Texas coach Mack Brown stands on the sideline during the fourth quarter of Texas' NCAA college football game against Mississippi, on Sept. 14 in Austin, Texas. highest-ranked Big 12 team at No. 11. Kansas State visits Austin this weekend. "It looks to me like the Big 12 is wide open," Brown said, "so why shouldn't we have a shot?" KEEPING THE HAWKS ROLLING SINCE 1974 Don's Auto Center Inc.

Kansas won the game 31-14. CONNOR OBERKROM coberkrom@kansan.com Out of any group on the Kansas football team, the secondary has been talked up by coaches as having the most talent. All the starters in the secondary have different skill sets and each have come from different places, binding together into one collective unit. Dexter McDonald, the starting right cornerback for the Jayhawks, represents the comeback story. McDonald, who had a brief stint with Kansas before being dismissed after his freshman year, has another chance to make a mark with different coaches and a different attitude ent coaches and a different audience. "It definitely amazing what I had to go through, I'm lucky to be where I am now and have a second opportunity," McDonald said. "I feel like I [have] definitely grown as a person... now I'm just focused on football." football. Charlie Weis has talked about McDonald's big-time playmaking ability and his length, which has paid dividends for the Kansas defense. McDonald has already accumulated one interception this year and is tied for first in the nation with five pass breakups. "Fortunately for us it's been a smooth transition," McDonald said. "With all that time we had, we just made sure we worked and try to get where we are now." Opposite McDonald is junior cornerback JaCorey Shepherd, who was on the other side of the ball playing wide receiver just one season ago. He's now getting a firm hold on his new position. "I think JaCorey is an amazing athlete. I think for me, it took me years to get where I feel comfortable at the defensive back position," McDonald said. "I feel it's one of the hardest positions on the field... to go from a great wide receiver to develop into a great cornerback is very notable and I commend him for it." fense. The cornerbacks aren't the only Jayhawks in the secondary who have improved the Kansas pass de- Sophomore safety Isaiah Johnson, who got the first interception of his Division 1 career last week against Rice, had eight interceptions in one year of junior college football. Defensive coordinator Dave Campo has mentioned in practice that Johnson is always the guy to go get the ball, Johnson said. Johnson remembers his pick fondly. "It was a great feeling... I knew on that play I tried to bait him, I tried to come up and act like I was going to get him and try to make him force it, which he did and I just jumped it," Johnson said. "I just remember running." The leader of this young, athletic group has been safety Cassius Sendish who has made a difference in transforming this Kansas defense. Sendish is the vocal one of the group. With so many new players in the secondary, it's an attribute that shouldn't be overlooked. "Cassius pushes all of us," Johnson said. Johnson and Sendish have even come up with a handshake - a simple one that's still a work in progress. The two may even share it with the Kansas cornerbacks. It's just one of many examples of how connected the secondary has become in just less than eight months. The potential is there and production has been there too. In a couple of weeks, the Big 12 offenses will be marching in. Then we will know if this group contains something special. Edited by Evan Dunbar and Hannah Barling Tradition Starts Here!

Iwakuma shuts down Tigers to help Mariners win 8-0 ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Hisashi Iwakuma extended his scoreless innings streak on the road to 25 and Justin Smoak homered off Justin Verlander to help Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 8-0 on Wednesday night. Iwakuma (13-6) matched his career high going eight innings, giving up just four hits and one unintentional walk. His 25-inning scoreless streak on the road matches a franchise record. Verlander (13-11) allowed three runs, four hits, walked three and struck out six over seven innings. He was hoping to win consecutive starts for the first time in more than three months. The AL Central-leading Tigers had won three straight and six of seven to close in on their third straight division title. Seattle had lost eight of nine. TH Iwakuma, who became an AllStar this year in his second season, joined Randy Johnson (1994) and Brian Holman (1989) as the Mariners who have thrown 25 straight scoreless innings on the road. VOL verlander gave up walks to leadoff hitters in the first two innings, and the second time it led to him giving up two runs. Verlander seemed to finally find a groove in the fourth inning when he retired the side in order. In the home half, Iwakuma got out of a bases-loaded jam for the second time in the game, getting Hernan Perez to hit into an inning-ending double play. Smoak got a free pass in the second and scored on Michael Saunders' double deep into the left-center gap. Nick Franklin followed with an RBI single to give Seattle a 2-0 lead. Smoak's solo shot — his 17th horse — gave Seattle a 3-0 lead in the game. sixth. The 2011 MVP and Cy Young Award winner earned a victory in his previous start, ending a six-game winless streak. He has won consecutive games only once — July 31 and Aug. 6 — since winning four straight starts in late May and early June. Verlander struck out two in the seventh, ending his 124-pitch outing. Iwakuma, meanwhile, didn't win any of his previous four starts despite a 2.10 ERA over that stretch. The Japanese right-hander didn't need more run support against Detroit, but the Mariners provided it four runs in the eighth and another in the ninth on Gutierrez's homer. Seattle's Danny Farquhar pitched the ninth and faced Alex Avila, a high school teammate in Florida, and struck him out to end the game.

STELLA LIANG sliang@kansan.com The Kansas soccer team looks to break a 280-minute scoring drought when it heads to South Dakota State Friday. The Jayhawks, who are in the midst of a three-game losing streak, haven't scored since playing Arizona on Sept. 6 and ending in a 1-1 tie. During the losing streak, Kansas has been taking about the same number of shots as its opponents, 49-46, but has been outscored 7-0. Their next opponent, South Dakota State, is on the opposite streak. The team has not lost in six outings and has won their last three matches. Last weekend they shut out two teams. Drake and Northern Iowa. The Jackrabbits earned a victory against Northern Iowa in an exciting manner. Sophomore forward Diana Potterveld scored the only goal of the match in double overtime. Potterveld also scored the game winner in their match against Drake. Another impact for the Jackrabbits is their freshman goalkeeper Nicole Inskeep, who is the reigning Summit League Defensive Player of the Week. She earned the award by shutting out their two previous opponents. Inskeep has previously won this award one time. More bad news for the Jayhawks is that their opponent for Sunday, Illinois State, is also on a three-game winning streak. Among those matches was a victory against then 22-ranked Marquette. The Redbirds scored early and often to earn that victory. All three of their goals, in a 3-2 match, came in the first 30 minutes of the game. Illinois State is led by junior forward Rachel Tejada. she has scored seven goals this season. Last season, she was named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year for the second year in a row. To have any chance of earning victories against these two teams, the Jayhawks must work on their offense. After the loss on Sunday, coach Mark Francis said the team has to figure it out offensively or else they were not going to win many games. This scoring slump is in stark contrast to some of the offensive explosiveness shown by the Jayhawks earlier in the season. On Sept. 1 in a home game against Purdue, the Jayhawks won 4-1 and had opportunities to score more. Two players that might help Kansas score goals are senior forward Caroline Kastor and junior midfielder Jamie Fletcher. Kastor led the team last season in goals scored and has a team-high three goals so far this season. Fletcher had multiple opportunities to score in the last couple of games, but can't find the back of the net. Last weekend, she took eight shots, including six in a match against San Francisco.

Opurum and McDougald both have been shuffled around with the Chiefs being released and re-signed a couple of times. McDougald is now the one with the job. Conner Oberkrom --- 土 A BETTER BARGAIN THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN voice since 1904 ave afs uple e with erkrom President Obama speaks Friday at the Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Mo. The president spoke to company employees about expanding the middle class for economic success GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN RODNEY STUFF TARA BRYANT/KANSAN Ford employees and their families applaud in agreement with President Barack Obama's speech in Claycomo, Mo. on Friday afternoon, Sept. 20. President Obama addresses future of middle class workers at Claycomo Ford assembly plant EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com Kansas City was no arbitrary location for President Barack Obama's speech Friday afternoon. The President's "A Better Bargain for the Middle Class" tour stopped at the Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Mo., to discuss the progress made since the economic recession. "We bet on the American worker and we bet on you," Obama said. "Today that bet has paid off because the auto industry has come back." the speech detailed the President's belief that politicians must focus on expanding the middle class. He described the American automobile industry as the "heartbeat of American manufacturing." "It's never a bad day when the president comes by with good news," said Tony Reinhart, regional director of governmental relations for Ford Motor Company. Creating more jobs in the automobile industry also creates jobs for suppliers, distributors, local restaurant and bar owners, teachers, shareholders and CEOs alike, Obama said. The Ford Motor Company is in the process of hiring more than 2,000 new employees between the two assembly facilities in Claycomo. "All those people are impacted by your success," Obama said. "When the middle class does better, we all do better." Ford, the fifth largest international automaker in 2010 vehicle sales, began restructuring corporate platforms in 2006, before the economic downturn. The company has since focused its global platforms and collaborated with stakeholders on common goals. "It's early action that has enabled us to survive." Reinhart said. "We were able to better predict where the economy was and where it was going so we were able to better prepare for the upturn." In Claycomo, Ford is now building over 1,000 new F-150s and has made a $1.1 billion dollar investment in a new assembly line "The only thing built tougher than Ford trucks are American workers." to build 15-passenger vans. The automobile industry is strong, said Curt Magleby, vice president of government relations, because cars are a product that the American people always need." Magleby believes Ford will keep progressing thanks to consistently putting out new, increasingly sustainable technology. The company set a target of increasing mileage to 54.5 miles per gallon in new vehicles by 2025. "If we're competitive, we can BARACK OBAMA support the jobs, we can support the families, we can support the communities," Magleby said. "We want to make anybody who works for Ford feel secure because their jobs are competitive on a global basis. DeMarle Jones, a member of the public who was in attendance, has worked at the Kansas City Assembly Plant for 28 years. She now is a team leader in the transit body shop and started at Ford working on the trim assembly line. "It's a good paying job," lones said. "I've made a nice living working for Ford. It let me do a lot of things for my daughter and grandkids." Chad Troncin works for Ford on the bargaining committee for the United Automobile Workers local union 249. After 20 years of working at the Kansas City Assembly Plant, he's not surprised Obama chose Claycomo as an example of successful jobs for the middle class. "It shows that if you invest in America, it's a win-win for everybody" Troncin said. Tailoring his speech to his Ford employees audience, the President compared failing to raise the debt ceiling to defaulting on a car payment loan on a new F-150. He said that economic growth must be from the middle out, not the top down, arguing that the success of the economy as a whole depends on workers like those at Ford. "We've shown the world that American workers are tough and resilient," Obama said. "The only thing built tougher than Ford trucks are American workers."

UNIVERSITY Alumni respond to professor's controversial tweet EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com The University of Kansas placed Professor David Guth on administrative leave after strong public backlash to his controversial gun control tweet in response to the Navy Yard shooting last Monday. "The volume of emails and phone calls have been quite threatening and disruptive on both sides," said Ann Brill, Dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little released a statement Friday morning announcing the action. Dean Brill wrote that the privilege to express controversial opinions must be balanced with the rights of others in a statement Thursday, and she clarified that administrative leave is intended to create time for the University to review the situation rather than to punish Professor Guth. "#NavyYardShooting The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you." "I don't want anyone to feel afraid to come to campus but one way to quiet this was to create some distance," Brill said. "And to make sure that Professor Guth was able to be safe too." Guth, a Strategic Communications professor at the William Allen White School of Journalism, tweeted on Monday: The tweet received only a handful of comments until Campus Reform, a higher education watchdog project run by the Leadership Institute, a conservative activist group. group. published in article with an interview from Guth Thursday afternoon. The article ran with the headline "Journalism professor says he hopes for murder of NRA members' children." Guth published an "I don't wish what happened today on anyone. But if it does happen again—and it likely will—may it happen to those misguided In a longer post to his personal blog published Monday, Guth wrote: miscreants who suggest that today's death toll at the Navy Yard would have been lower if the employees there were allowed to pack heat." Guth stood by his tweet and blog post, saying that he has nothing to apologize for. "All I did was what any American should have the right to do: express his or her opinion in an opinion forum," Guth said Thursday. "I regret that there's been a blowback at KU. I didn't do it on a KU site." Chancellor Gray-Little said that Guth's classes will be taught by other faculty members. Some students in Guth's classes are asking to drop or be transferred to other sections. "In order to prevent disruptions to the learning environment for students, the School of Journalism and the university, I have directed Provost Jeffrey Vitter to place Associate Professor Guth on indefinite administrative leave pending a review of the entire situation," Gray-Little wrote. The Kansas Board of Regents, which governs the six public universities in the state of Kansas, has expressed offense at Guth's statements. "The Board expresses its appreciation for the immediate response by the chancellor to the situation and expresses its confidence in her leadership," said Andy Tompkins, President and CEO of the Kansas Board of Regents. The School of Journalism has fielded several donors' concerns about Guth's conduct.

House passes bill aimed at shutting down Obamacare I EMMA LEGAULT elegault@kansan.com On Friday, President Barack Obama addressed the recovery and growth of the automotive industry with employees at the Ford Motor Co. stamping plant in Claycomo, Mo. Hours before he spoke, the House passed a spending bill that risks a government shutdown and defunding of the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamaacare. All four Kansas representatives voted to defund the program. A BETTER BARG WH.GOV/ If a budget bill isn't passed before next Monday, the government won't be able to raise the debt ceiling and will default on its obligations—its "bills" thousands of Americans will The bill is headed to the Senate, where it isn't likely to pass in it's current form. and its future. "Basically," Obama said, "America becomes a deadbeat." House Democrats and a small number of Republicans echo President Obama's view. The president said those opposing the bill are simply trying to crush his legislation. "They want to threaten default just to make sure that tens of millions of Americans continue not to have health care." President Obama said. Republicans have voted on Obamacare issues 41 times, even after the Supreme Court ruled it constitutional in June 2012. "Now they've gone beyond just holding Congress hostage, they're holding the whole country hostage."

TARA BRYANT/KANSAN A Congressional budget has passed routinely each year since the 1950s. A default has never happened. President Obama criticized Congress' action, saying it could be "profoundly destructive" for America's reputation, it's economy BARACK OBAMA U.S. President According to President Obama, it is already reducing healthcare costs across the country, and is not hindering economic growth. The bill has caused the number of uninsured people in the United States to drop by allowing those age 26 and younger to remain on their parents' insurance, providing an extra cushion for a generally healthy demographic with insurance on the back burners of its mind. "This freezes up some of the worries about finding that 'perfect' job with benefits and creates new opportunities for young adults," wrote Jarron Saint Onge, assistant professor of sociology. Republicans contend that the harm will come in the form of penalties that companies and individuals will have to pay for opting out of Obamacare coverage. However, the Senate now has a choice: to pass the spending bill and eliminate Obamacare funding, or risk shutting down the government if a compromise isn't reached by the 30th. "Now they've gone beyond just holding Congress hostage, they're holding the whole country hostage," Obama said of the House Republicans. He urged Congress to stop governing crisis-to-crisis and get back to work, focusing on the agenda at hand. "The American people have worked too hard for too long digging out of a real crisis just to let politicians in Washington cause another crisis," Obama said. Obama expressed that he's more than willing to work it out and compromise. "I don't mind them disagreeing with me," he said. "They don't like the Affordable Care Act, they'd rather have people not have health insurance, I'm happy to have that debate with them. But you don't have to threaten to blow the whole thing up just because you don't get your way." CAMPUS Pulitzer-winning journalist to address immigration issues TIM DODDERIDGE tdodderidge@kansan.co Pulitzer Prize-winning Journalist Jose Antonio Vargas will give a lecture tonight about the immigration issue in the U.S., which Vargas has focused on for much of his career. Hosted by Student Union Activities, the event will take place in Budig 120 tonight at 7 p.m. An immigrant himself, Vargas poses a question to students concerning immigration reform: "Where do you stand?" tdodderidge@kansan.com when young people get in trouble. When he was 12, Vargas' family moved from the Philippines to the United States. But it wasn't until he was 16 that he discovered that he "Indifference is unacceptable" Vargas said. "Change only happens when young people get involved." "I grew up with people referring to me, and people like me, as "illegal." I wanted to prove to people that I exist, that I'm actually here, that you're actually referring to a human being. Writing for me, and having a byline, was a way to do that," Vargas said. Vargas has also branched out to the film medium. Recently, he spent time working on a documentary about the experiences of being an undocumented immigrant in America. Titled "Undocumented," students get the opportunity to see clins from the film at the event. was undocumented. A year later, he became motivated to be a journalist. "I'm not a politician. I'm not an organizer. I'm not a leader. I'm called an activist and advocate -okay, I have no control over that. But I don't consider myself any of those things. As far as I'm concerned, I'm a writer, I'm a filmmaker, I'm a storyteller and I'm working on the biggest story of my life, which happens to involve me," Vargas said. Since the beginning of his career, Vargas has won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the Virginia Tech shooting, he's written a TIME Magazine cover story and he's spent a lot of time talking to people about immigration reform. He feels that his work has rewarded him with the gift of perspective. "It has allowed me to really empathize with people and understand where they're coming from without judging them, and try to understand why they feel what they feel," he said.

This program, which would go on to become the Department of American Studies, celebrates its 60-year history this week. The celebration is a weeklong series of events entitled "Reflecting Forward" - a reference to the department's heritage and future. "This is designed to be more than just a series of events, we will show where the department started and where it is heading in the future," Professor Jennifer Hamer said. This project has been in the works for about a year, with most of the work being done in the last six months. A committee of like-minded professors, headed by Hamer, has scheduled a number of events and guest speakers that they believe will reflect the strengths of the department as a whole. The department and the committee felt that there was a need to reassert themselves on campus by putting on this celebration. opportunity to honor our past, and to remind the campus and the community of the important, exciting, and diverse scholarship that our students and faculty engage in every day," said Henry Bial, Chair of the Department of American Studies. --- "We are thrilled to have this This celebration reflects not only the history of the department but shows how heavily involved it has been in the history of the University. This was one of the first interdisciplinary pro sessions with prominent figures in the field. These events will also be available free-of-charge to the public, excluding a test screening on Wednesday night that will be an invitation only event. This is an opportunity for American Studies to remind the campus and the community about the importance of the program." Students and members of the community will be able to attend grams at the University and it has had a hand in the development of multiple programs during its time here. It is this spirit of involvement and diversity in research that led more than 10 departments to co-sponsor the week's events. JENNIFER HAMER American Studies Professor "Given the interdisciplinary nature of the program, we are very pleased that so many different departments on campus have contributed to making the celebration possible," Bial said. Scheduled events include film screenings, lectures and meet-and-greet "Lunch-and- Learn" events held at various locations across campus every day this week except Tuesday. The department will also have informa- tional tables in the Kansas Union every day this week from 11 a. m. to 1 p.m., where students can pose questions to representatives from the department. "This is an opportunity for American Studies to remind the campus and the community about the importance of the program," Hamer said.

CAMPUS —Emily Donovan Required course raises sexual harassment awareness MADDIE FARBER mfarber@kansan.com The unwanted words and gestures from an admirer can bring an onset of nausea and fear to a victim of sexual harassment. Anyone can become a victim anywhere and anytime. This is one of the many reasons why the KU Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access has created the mandatory sexual harassment online course for all University students. "So many students don't think it's going to happen to them, so they don't take it seriously. It can be as simple as little, everyday things." Lauren Moore, a Ph.D. student at the University said. Last year the course had an outstanding 86 percent participation rate. But does the student body truly take it seriously or just click through it? Sophomore Will Nye expressed his views on the course: "I feel like most students just breeze through the process and have no consequences for lack of attention." This might be the general consensus among the majority of the student body. However, Jane Mc- Queeny, Executive Director at the IOA office, said, "For the students who just click through, I really wish they would read it and be thoughtful about what they're learning through the course. Students who approach it seriously are better citizens of our community." According to McQueeny, the course is not only designed to help students become aware of their rights and responsibilities when it comes to sexual harassment, but also encourage them to be responsible and engaged. "The primary focus is to make sure these behaviors don't come onto campus and prohibits students in the education process. It's not about just being bystanders, but taking action to protect each other," McQueeny said. The course also helps students learn about resources available at the University if they ever encounter issues with sexual harassment. If students don't feel comfortable going through a formal investigation through the IOA, McQueeny encourages them to visit the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity. The Emily Taylor Center offers individual consultations for students who need someone to talk to about various topics, ranging from assault or discrimination issues to career concerns. "Although statistically it doesn't happen as frequently, men can be sexually harassed too. This issue is not just limited to women. The IOA recognizes this, and the law protects both. The course takes care of all" McQueeny said, expressing her views of why all students, regardless of gender, should continue to stay After sharing her personal experience with sexual harassment, Moore said, "You hope you never have to, but it's good to know who to turn to if something does happen. It's empowering to know what resources are available. You can stop feeling victimized and do something about it. It's so important to speak up." engaged and informed. DONATE BLOOD!

Matthew Wyman, you're my hero. Obamacare lacks support, connection with middle class Lou Holtz is a muppet To put it delicately, President Obama couldn't sell a bucket of water to a bloke in burning trousers. And to be honest, America does bear a striking resemblance to such a bloke at the moment. Our president is an undeniably powerful speaker, but he really does suffer when it comes to selling the American people on his own policies. This is saying a lot coming from me. While Republicans continue to foam at the mouth and even a faction of Democrats has begun to distance themselves, I remain a devoted supporter of the President merely because I do extensive research on a select few of his policies that are of particular importance to me (cough cough health care- no, help, I'm actually coughing). But if it weren't for my unique situation, I can't say I would be so on board with everything he's proposed. The policies aren't the problem. The problem is that the GOP has put a surgeon general's warning on everything Obama's selling, and he's made very little effort to sway the public away from the outlandish claims. This strikes me as odd since Obama has proven to be a master salesman when he himself is the product – a pair of convincing victories and nearly $2 billion in cumulative campaign funds could attest to that. During those elections, Obama succeeded chiefly because of his simple messages and powerful branding efforts. I've never seen a country so eager to wear a presidential candidate's face on a t-shirt, or even emulate his likeness with Facebook apps that turn your profile picture red and blue. He made himself the candidate of "Hope" and "Change," and if you were against him, then you were also against those fundamental values. But the tables have turned and the GOP has transformed itself into a political branding machine. In just a short period of time, they managed to twist the candidate of hope into a Kenyan, socialist Muslim. In fact, they were the ones who coined the term "Obamacare" and rebranded it as a doomsday for civilization. By Will Webber wwebber@kansan.com I must admit, I'm impressed. The key to their success has been their ability to reduce highly complex policies and conflicts into blunt buzzwords that draw on basic human emotions, primarily fear. Unfortunately, most Democrats – and Obama is no exception – have resorted to finger-pointing rather than actually explaining their policies in simple enough terms to stave off the negative connotations from the GOP. I gained a little bit of "hope" this past Friday. I attended Obama's speech at the Claycomo Ford plant as a member of the press and stood in awe as I watched him speak for the following hour. The crowd was a small gathering of Ford employees and their families. They were primarily factory workers. Only hours after the House voted to defund Obamacare, I watched the man himself defend his policy with the thirst of a car salesmen living off of commission. And he told the workers everything he could to make them drive off the lot in a new car. He didn't talk about ideology or abstract concepts of government spending or phony projections for the year 2072. He gave hard data. He said that defounding Obamacare would "rob 25 million Americans of health care." He said that the new regulations mean that "insurance companies have to spend 80 percent of your payments on your health care, not administrative costs." He said that kids would be able to stay on their parents' plans until they are 26, to the roaring applause of the mothers in the crowd. And then, just to let the Ford employees know that they were the most important customers on the showroom floor, he explained the GOP's refusal to raise the debt ceiling by using an F-150 as an example: "once you're buying a truck, you can't say you're saving money by not paying the bills." America would essentially be "a deadbeat" if the GOP goes through with the government shutdown. I support my president. I truly believe he has the best interests of this country at heart, and for the first time in awhile, I feel that he did an effective job in convincing some regular Americans. The truth is, no staunch Republican is going to have a massive ideological shift and suddenly support higher taxes and government spending because of anything the President says, or anything I say, for that matter. Just like how my parents aren't going to give up their Toyotas they've driven for 20 plus years just because Ford says they've got a better car now. But maybe if they took a little spin in a Fusion they'd see what it's all about and be a little less set in their ways. If Obama really is fighting for the middle class, then he'll need to reach them on their level, connect with them on the issues that they really care about and make it clear that he's on their side. And maybe, just maybe, they'll buy that bucket of water. Our trousers could use a rest. Will Webber is a journalism major from Prairie Village. Follow him @mwwebber. LANGUAGE Examine meanings attached to messages Before I departed for China, a good friend of mine said something very interesting to me. As we looked up to the stars from the Rocky Mountains, we traded stories. The collections of constellations gently turned on their axes and our conversation gave way to the recounting of our childhoods. Both the naivetés it contained, and the unadulterated truths it possessed as well. "Did you ever...," my friend paused momentarily to fully recall the old thought from his mind, "did you ever repeat a word... until you forget its meaning, you know? And you just heard its sound alone?" just hear its sound croak. I asked him to clarify. "You know, like you say the word 'wood' until you just hear the sound 'wood' – and don't think of the object." He started to repeat the word "wood" a couple of times and then looked down, letting out a small laugh. I had never heard this before, and made him promise me he had naturally thought to do this on his own, as the idea initially seemed straight out of some Buddhist guide to meditation. He assured me, and the idea stuck in my mind. I mean, it seems incredible to me that my mind doesn't have the self-control to separate a word from its meaning. It's phenomenal that after 21 years of careful development, I can't get my mind to By Scott Rainen srainen@kansan.com effectively perform such a simple task. So a few days before I left for Nanjing, I decided that while I spent the 25 hours commuting across continents, I would conduct a little experiment. Now if you could have stood near me during the process, you would have heard a gentle mumbling under my breath. As I waded through the security lines and customs, it continued. Scrunched between an old Chinese lady and some over-the-hill perverted French chef, it did not subside. As the Frenchman voluntarily shared the most intimate details of his various sexual exploits to an extent that made my stomach turn, the repetition turned inward. Then finally as I realized my check-luggage had been lost, you might have heard a small muttering pass between my lips, if only to keep myself calm: "International travel, international travel, international travel..." It is truly weir the way we assign meaning to things, and it is not limited to sounds either. For example, my elementary school holds more meaning to me than that of a simple building. I associate it with a feeling of youthful curiosity, and this was constructed on its own, completely naturally. I can assure you this was not taught. From my layman's perspective, language seems to be important simply because it is one of the easiest ways of communicating wisdom. If I want to explain the youthful feeling of adolescence, it is terribly inefficient to take a person to my elementary school; even if I did, they probably wouldn't catch my meaning. It took six years of yearning for whatever came next to create this meaning. Thus, it is far simpler to say, "I feel a sense of youthful curiosity all over again now that I'm about to graduate from college." Now, please disregard the fact that this statement is not true. Language, on the other hand, seems to be an organized assortment of meanings developed over a long period of time to ultimately facilitate more complex thoughts, or the organization of international travel. Perhaps I'm getting slightly ahead of myself. At any rate, this much is certain to me: if I can ever say the words "international travel" again and separate it from its meaning I will only be a few steps away from enlightenment, and never again will I be able to discuss international travel while eating any food product attributed to France.

ECO-FRIENDLY Advertising can promote environmental causes Millions of companies and businesses spend large amounts of money promoting products with the goal to increase revenue. For example, Coke spent $2.6 billion on advertising worldwide in 2006, the most recent year for which figures were available on their website. So what does advertising have to do with environmentalism? Dr. Wallace J. Nichols proposes that it might just be the answer to conservation. Nichols believes that if we can harness what happens in our brain when we see and experience the ocean, we could radically shift conservation. From Shark Week to Finding Nemo, our culture is fascinated with the mysterious life underwater. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the ocean covers 71 percent of the earth. Not only is it a huge part of our environment, but waves may also cause a wave of emotion. From soothing beach noises to vacations on the coast, people are attracted to this amazing part of our ecosystem. However the fascination does not transfer directly to conservation. As put by Nichols in a Huffington Post Blog, "I've heard it said that less than 1% of eco-funding goes to caring for the blue world. But, the fact is we live on a blue planet, not a green one, or a brown one...Life came from the ocean, and most of our planet's life and habitable space is in the ocean. We know all too well that the ocean gives us our climate, the air we breathe, and food to eat." Nichols is the creator of the BlueMind movement. As explained on its website, BlueMind links nature and neuroscience to create a new field it refers to as "Neuro-conservatism." Each year, a BlueMind Summit is held, "bringing together top neuroscientists, oceanographers, explorers, educators and artists to consider new questions about the 'human brain on water.'"

Trevo Grant, editor-in-chief editor@kansan.com Allison Kohn, managing editor akohn@kansan.com LETTER GUIDELINES By Jenny Stern jstern@kansan.com to the ocean as a tool to protect it. Whether this is through advertising or some other creative method, the possibilities are unlimited in this growing field of "Neuro-conservatism". If Coke spends billions of dollars learning how to manipulate the mind of the consumer, then why shouldn't environmental activists use the same methods to actually accomplish something rather than to just make a profit? What if every time a goal was accomplished, we would have lessened our footprint on our natural world rather than funneling money to large corporations?

If Neuro-conservatism and environmental psychology were continually put into practice, we would all be "the type of people" who care about and preserve our planet. Jenny Stern is a sophomore majoring in Biology from Lawrence. And it doesn't just stop with advertising and the ocean. In "Fostering Sustainable Behavior," environmental psychologist Dr. Doug McKenzie-Mohr combines behavior patterns and sustainable practices. Specifically, he discusses the Theory of Self-Perception. The theory states that if convenient opportunities exist for people to behave sustainably, then engaging in the act itself will shape attitudes. This theory revolves around the principle that people prioritize consistency; once they define themselves as, for example, "the type of person who recycles", then they will continue to recycle.

WHERE DID THE TIME GO? Television Throwback These classic shows leave behind important life lessons 10: "Bill Nye the Science Guy" (1993-1998) SUDOKU KAITLYN HILGERS khilgers@kansan.com BILL & NYE Friday, January 28th Not only did Bill teach us a bunch about science, but more importantly, he taught us that science can be fun. With the catchy theme song and the interactive experiments, even young students who felt that science was hard or just not their thing were Disney Educational Productions hard or just not their thing were able to work alongside Bill and have one of the best science teachers in the world for five years. 8: "The Proud Family" (2001-2005) Personally, "The Proud Family" was one of my favorite animated shows while I was growing up. Obviously it taught us the importance of being a family, but there were a few episodes that I still remember that were pretty deep for a children's show. The episodes "Culture "Children's Show and the Opus of Shock" and "I Had a Dream" which touched upon the issues of stereotyping, segregation, racism and acceptance were two of the most memorable of any animated show ever. 6: "Gilmore Girls" (2000-2007) Mother-daughter relationships are difficult. Really, parent-child relationships are difficult. However, the relationships of Rory and Lorelai, Lorelai and her parents, Rory and Chris, and my favorite, Emily and Gran, show that it is normal for a family to be dysfunctional. At the end of the day, they follow each other Darreny Parker Brank Neri where they lead. Finally, "Gilmore Girls" reinforced the notion that coffee is not just something to drink in the morning. 4: "ER" (1994-2009) 他 "ER" didn't teach us how to be a doctor, how to get through med school or really anything that related to the medical profession. However, it did teach us that if we needed surgery or any sort of medical assistance, we would most likely have could prospectively have someone who looked like George Clooney assist us, and he wouldn't be only good looks. 2: "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (1990-1996) Dear Friend, Love You Again, this is a show that was full of lessons. They were all important, don't get me wrong, but they were easily lessons that you could find somewhere else. This particular television show gave us the catchiest theme song of all time and continues to teach us that it is never a bad time to break out in a rap, as long as that rap begins "In West Philadelphia, born and raised..." | | | 3 | | 8 | 4 | | 1 | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | | | 9 | 1 | | | | 7 | | 6 | | 9 | | | | 2 | | | | | 2 | | | 7 | | | | 4 | | 7 | 5 | | 2 | | 1 | | 8 | 3 | | 8 | | | 4 | | | 2 | | | | | | 8 | | | | 3 | | 1 | | 5 | | | | 3 | 6 | | | | | | 3 | | 7 | 9 | | 4 | | | 9: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997-2003) Generally in the media, young teenage girls get a bad representation. They are shown either as shallow or completely boy crazy. If they are not either of those, then they are portrayed as overly bookish and unapproachable. Then, along comes **Model learner Proficiency** unapproachable. Maintain balance, Buffy, who is able to kill vampires with style and strength, making the world safe to live in. She quickly became an idol for young women, and continues to be one today. MARILYN MONROE 7:"Friends" (1994-2004) rne amount that I learned from "Friends" is amazing. Some of the most important lessons were that friends will be there through the ups and the downs, apartment living is the coolest, everyone has their own lobster, and finally, drink all day every day. has their own office. coffee is acceptable to drink all day every day. Stretch Films 5: "Courage the Cowardly Dog" (1999-2007) Again, this is another obvious one. Courage taught us that it is important to stand up to your fears because that is the only way you can grow up. But also, Courage illustrated the fact that children's shows didn't always have to be happy and stereotypical; they could have an edge and a scare factor, which really was a pretty novel idea at the time. Very much like "Courage the Cowardy Dog," *The Twilight Zone* taught us to face our fears and grow from the experiences. More so, this show also taught us that things are very often not as they seem. It also shows today's The TWIGHT ZONE APA Publishing audience that just because something is filmed in black and white doesn't mean it isn't good or terrifying. 1: "Freaks and Geeks" (1999-2000) Difficulty Level ★ BLEKS AND GELKS THE SCHOOL OF CHANGE Finally, "freaks and Geeks" taught us the ultimate lesson: High school sucks and there is no way of getting around that. Whether you are part of the nerdy clique, the popular group or the outsiders, bad things happen to everyone during those four years. But as we can all agree, it does get better, and eventually high school just becomes that time that no one wants to revisit. 9/23 Edited by Casey Hutchins WANT ENTERTAINMENT UPDATES ALL DAY LONG?

HANNAH SMITH hsmoith@kansan.com Nate Gerber reaches into his bag, resting just at his hips, pulls out a round, white ball and rubs it on each of his palms. Fine-grained, white particles of chalk fill the air as he slaps his hands together and places them strategically on two awkwardly angled grips. He asks, "on belay?" The belayer responds, "Belay on." He's ready to begin his ascent. Gerber, a freshman at the University, joined the KU Rock Climbing Club three weeks ago. "It was one of the cheaper clubs, and rock climbing sounded like something fun to go out and do, and it doesn't require a lot of prior experience," Gerber said. The Rock Climbing Club was founded in the 90s and is now run by Scott Snyder, a junior at the University and the president of the club. Becoming a member of the club costs $75 and requires a willingness to face heights, and learn new techniques and routes. "Our motto is come to learn, stay to teach and go forth to climb" said Snyder, "and we're going to teach them [the climbers] everything they need to know." With the help of more experienced club leaders, Gerber has learned to enjoy the challenges of different routes on the Ambler Student Recreation Center's rock wall. He is currently working on breaking the fastest record of 16 seconds to the top on one of the more difficult routes. Although a vast majority of the club's time is spent on the rec's climbing walls, they have five weekend trips planned to experience climbing real rock walls while enjoying the beautiful scenery and each other's company. The first trip of it ago, Sunday September 8, when the club carpooled to Missouri. "Our motto is come to learn, stay to teach and go forth to climb." SCOTT SNYDER Rock Climbing Club President With the weather being too hot to climb, making it risky for the climbers to pursue routes, the club enjoyed a day of swimming in a river located right at the foot of the cliff.

The club looks forward to fall break, when they will travel out of state for a weekend full of climbing, camping, friends and the fresh, fall air. The climbers continue to improve their strength and skills by dedicating their time to club hours, which are from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. While working hard, the climbers are developing friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

Edited by Evan Dunbar LAST SAYING DOWNLOADS OVO SOUND Drake's album, "Nothing Was the Same," was leaked before its Sept. 24 release. Online music piracy creates controversy HANNAH SUNDERMEYER hsundermeyer@kansan.com While Drake's new sentimental album and emotional bars may have you calling up your kindergarten girlfriend/boyfriend, the twitter leak of "Nothing Was the Same" has proven yet again that Aubrey "Drake" Graham is an incredibly versatile and talented artist-debatably releasing his best work to date. Government programs have struggled to contain the spread of illegal downloads, and our internet culture makes it nearly impossible. Whether it is through an email, blog post, tweet, or status update, online activity makes it incredibly easy to share and download the latest music for free. However this album leak brings up an age old controversy. Every day, millions of people illegally download music, movies, and other content online, but does that make it right? "In my opinion I think it is okay to download the album if it leaks as long as you still buy it when it actually comes out. Most of the time you can pre-order albums on iTunes, so if it leaks early you've already paid for it," said Mike Lambert, a sophomore from Yet many people are unaware of the consequences associated with getting caught. According to the Recording Industry Association of America's website, "Making unauthorized copies of copyrighted music recording is against the law and may subject you to civil and criminal liability. A civil lawsuit could hold you responsible for thousands of dollars in damages. Chicago, Illinois. The argument can go both ways, as illegally downloading can jump start digital sales and stimulate free advertising through social media. However there has been a definite impact in the economy of the music industry. But whether you rebelled and downloaded NWTS or are patiently waiting for the official Sept. 24 release date, the leak serves as strong example of the debatable morality of downloading content. thousands of dollars in damages. Criminal charges may leave you with a felony record, accompanied by up to five years of jail time and fines up to $250,000." Especially as college students on a budget, the temptation to illegally download can be very real. Edited by Casey Hutchins METROPOLITAN BOOKSTORE GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN The new restaurant, Merchants, is opening on Massachusetts Street after making changes from the previous owner, Teller's. New restaurant brings fresh atmosphere to downtown KRISTINA MAUDE kmaude@kansan.com Opening to the public this past Saturday and located on Mass Street where Teller's was, Merchants' owners T.K. Peterson and Phillip Wilson were set on transforming Merchants into a gastro-pub focusing on Midwestern food and bringing it back to its original roots. "We took it back to its original form, and the original form was Merchants, that was the first bank at this location so we took it deeper into its historical value," Wilson explains. If you're looking for great food and a relaxed environment, Merchants Pub and Plate provides a unique experience for Lawrence residents and students alike. Meeting only last November, Wilson and Peterson have since constructed a restaurant to fit their personal style and taste. Wilson tends to take care of the front of the house, while Peterson is the head chef in the back. The two owners have put a lot of thought into the restaurant, from PHILLIP WILSON Owner of Merchants From the sunset on the wall to the wall of mirrors by the kitchen, Merchants' style allows the wood-work and original architecture to stand out.

People are very While sitting and waiting for their food, customers can see the kitchen and watch their food being made.

Edited by James Ogden V --- THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. 2013 PAGE 7 WAVE THE WHEAT WIN GIVES KANSAS MOMENTUM Team makes plays late to escape with 13-10 victory at home KANSAS 98 EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN Junior defensive lineman Keon Stowers celebrates his fumble recovery in the fourth quarter of Kansas' game against Louisiana Tech on Saturday. Kansas would go on to win the game 13-10 on a 52-yard field goal. CHRIS HYBL chybl@kansan.com MAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com GLASS HALF FULL Kansas has a winning record. Ugly or not, Kansas escaped with a victory that, had they not got, would have put quite the damper on the season heading into Big 12 competition. In a loss, the goal may have been just to get one win and it would have bashed any hopes the team had of a six win season. GLASS HALF EMPTY The offense looked pretty ugly for three quarters - three very long quarters. Kansas is currently averaging just over 19 points per game, and that will not hold any weight against Big 12 opponents. Kansas scored just three points in three quarters, and it took a Herculean effort by tight end Jimmay Mundine and a last second field goal to get the win. Kansas can't survive in the Big 12 taking that long to get going on offense. GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID Kansas has a kicker. Matthew Wyman put every worry and bad memory fans had of the Kansas kicking game to bed. Stepping up and lacing a 52-yarder not only to win the game, but knowing everybody is thinking "not again?" The verdict: good. DELAY OF THE GAME The Kansas defense came out strong but has appeared to have a sporadic identity as a defensive unit. After holding Louisiana Tech to a combined 24 yards on the team's first three drives, the defense allowed Tech to get 50-plus yards on each of the next four possessions. Cohesion is key for the defense if it wants to be successful in Big 12 play. LOOKING AHEAD Rodriguez Coleman, Jake Heaps and Tony Pierson all talked post game about the new 'up-tempo' offense they learned in one week and used Saturday against La. Tech. With a bye week coming up, it will be interesting to see how this new offense comes along. FINAL THOUGHT The "new" Kansas offense has a lot of question marks around it. Kansas was able to get a good amount of yards on offense, but the inability to execute and convert on third down (7-17) is not exactly comforting heading into Big 12 play. 7. 8 The amount of yards Tony Pierson averaged per touch Saturday. Coach Weis made sure the offense got the ball to Pierson, with the standout back touching the ball 14 times in this game, compared to just 12 times in the previous two games combined. All future Kansas offensive game plans confirmed: get the ball to Tony Pierson. DEFENSE:B With the game on the line the defense forced and recovered a fumble by La. Tech running back Kenneth Dixon. However, Dixon also rushed for 129 yards, calling into question once again the defense's ability to stop the run. The defense is currently ranked 23rd in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 15.7 points per game. OFFENSE:D La. Tech did everything it could to stop the inside run, limiting James Sims to only 79 yards on 20 carries, which forced Kansas into the uncomfortable position of having to rely on the passing game to move the ball. Heaps threw the ball for 279 yards, but it took 46 passes to do it, and also had two interceptions. Trevor Pardula helped the Jayhawks win the battle for field position with solid punting once again, and Matthew Wyman made a 52-yard field goal from the left hash mark to give the Jayhawks the win. COACHING: C Weis said Pierson would be used more, and he had a big day with 14 total offensive touches. The offensive line struggled and the Jayhawks failed to finish drives, but in crunch time players made the necessary plays, giving Weis a little breathing room from the coaching hot-seat. — Edited by Evan Dunbar WANT SPORTS UPDATES ALL DAY LONG?

The strategy worked for most of the game and limited the running game. "They wanted us to beat them with the pass," running back James Sims said. Jake Heaps threw the ball 46 times in Saturday's 13-10 win.In the two previous games, Heaps had a combined 49 attempts. Heaps knew before the game that the Jayhawks would be passing more, but even he was surprised by how much more. "We didn't expect to have that many attempts." Heaps said, "but the way the game was going and the way we were playing, the passing game was working for us and it was efficient." The team has been looking to find more balance in its passing game, and coach Charlie Weis has said that will be critical against Big 12 competition. The game against Louisiana Tech could help them do that. "We'll use that to build off of it." More touches for Tony Heaps said. In his Tuesday press conference, Weis said to expect to see an expanded role for Tony Pierson and Brandon Bourbon against Louisiana Tech, and that's exactly what happened "The whole week I was getting the ball," Pierson said. "So, going into the game I figured I would be getting a lot Pierson JOHN HAYES of touches, and I did today." Pierson ended up with the ball in his hands on 14 plays, and Bourbon had seven touces as well. They combined for 129 receiving yards. Pierson caught nine passes, but none more important than a 29-yard catch on the final drive of the game that brought the Jayhawks within field goal range. "I saw the ball and thought I had to make a play for the team, and I made the play" Pierson said. Confidence in the kicker In practice, the lajayhats simulate the situation of having a field goal to win the game just like the one that Matthew Wyman made against Louisiana Tech, except in practice a miss means the team has to run laps. "If he missed today, it would have been worse than that," Weis said after the game. But it was no surprise to Weis, or the players, that Wyman made the 52-vard field goal. The kid's been nailing them from that distance," Weis said of what he's seen in practice. Keon Stowers recovered the fumble at Kansas' five-yard-line that made the goal goal possible. That put the ball in the hands of Jake Heaps and the Kansas offense with an opportunity to win the game, as they made several big plays to set up the field goal. "My stomach was turning." Heaps said. The situation was less nerve-racking for Stowers. "That field goal, it was just like every day." Stowers said. "I had a hundred percent confidence that he was going to make it."

"We struggled, really, and I thought we created a lot of chances Friday and we just built upon that today" Salazar put the Jayhawks on top with her goal in the 30th minute of the game. Senior forward Caroline Kastor got possession of the ball near midfield on the Illinois State half of the field.

The Chiefs are rolling. They are 3-0 and defeated the fastest-moving team in the NFL last Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles. No one player has been more important to this swing in production on the field more than safety Eric Berrv. Berry is not the biggest, strongest or fastest man on the Chiefs, but he is the leader of a defense that is second in the NFL in points allowed. Berry boasts an 88 rating in Madden 25, but on defense for the Chiefs, he has been anchoring down the back end of the defense like the best safety in the league. The Chiefs are giving up only 11 points per game - and Berry is not letting anyone get by him down the field. The two-time Pro Bowler is a ball-hawk on the field. Berry thrives on making the By Ben Allen ballen@kansan.com opposing team look bad on offense. He has become a headache on defense, and is a bad man when given a full head of steam with an opportunity to hit someone hard. possibly the biggest play of the game for the Chiefs on Thursday was the interception returned for a touchdown by Berry. In a game where the opposing team is coming in averaging over 30 points a game, every point is crucial. Berry waltzed in for the 38-yard touchdown after catching a Michael Vick pass that was tipped. With that, he fulfilled a dream of picking-off his favorite quarterback from his childhood. To be the best, you have to think like the best. One of the biggest reasons Berry reads the quarterback so well is he was once a quarterback himself. In high school, Berry led Creekside High School in Fairburn, Ga. to a 35-7 record as a starter, playing both cornerback and quarterback. Obviously he took the correct route in playing in the secondary but the skills he learned at quarterback have transitioned into his thinking now, making it look easy as he often flawlessly reads passers, leading to picks and knockdowns. game, forcing quarterback Eli Manning to look down the field more than usual. Look for Berry to give Manning headaches all day as he knocks down balls, has a few hits, and anchors what is turning into one of the best defenses in the AFC. KU Berry has seen quite a few losses since joining the Chiefs, but this year he is looking to lead the stellar defense of the Chiefs to a few more W's.

First, it's nowhere near ready to compete with the big 12. The play calling makes you want to rip your hair out, the wide-outs can hardly receive and once again it seems the Jayhawks' specialty is giving the ball away. September 23,2013 There might've been a few bright spots aside from their punting prowess, but entering the fourth quarter the Jayhawks only mustered three points against a Louisiana Tech team that lost to Tulane at home. Keep that in mind as you register this: The Kansas football team is 2-1. The Jayhawks made a 10-point comeback in the fourth quarter and snapped a 22-game losing streak to FBS schools. You could argue which point is more important. "It was incredible that we were able to battle through adversity the whole game," quarterback Jake Heaps said after his second victory as a Jayhawk. "It shows the strength of our team and having chemistry with one another." Nevertheless, those flaws exist and they'll likely cause the Jayhawks more heartache than happiness this season. You can't have great play from a quarterback without receivers that can hold up their end of the bargain, save for Tony Pierson. Matt Wyman couldn't have become Saturday's hero if Pierson hadn't streaked down the middle of the field for a 29-yard reception moments earlier. But Pierson did get open for a brief moment, and everyone in Lawrence will know the name Matt Wyman today, and for a week at least, the Jayhawks have a winning program. "I knew he was going to make it," linebacker Ben Heeney said of Wyman. "It's rare for him to miss, we practice for that every day. Coach Weis will say if Matt makes it, we don't have to run, if he misses it we have to run. I knew he was going to make it." Wyman made it and the Jayhawks still ran, only this time it was to celebrate with their kicker where they formed a mob of screams and smiles. Just don't think this means Kansas is ready to take down its own conference. It's been 21 games since the Jayhawks surprised the Big 12 - and it was a surprise, with Kansas making a 35-point comeback in the fourth quarter against Colorado - because every flaw that fans were able to pick apart on Saturday will be seen again in film rooms in Lubbock, Texas next week. For now, what difference does it make? The students of this university deserve a week to enjoy a win without fear of an impending loss, and that's exactly what Kansas earned.

Little did they know, the cause of their celebration was walking by without any recognition. "I always wanted to be famous, so I guess I'm a little famous," Wyman said.

"Then we went for a play that we practice almost Some may know Wyman's name now, but Kansas was fortunate to even have a chance to win the game.

Kansas scored on both possessions following Louisiana Tech turnovers in the fourth quarter. Kansas first took the ball 80 yards to the end zone midway through the fourth quarter, when tight end Limmay "We changed everything for this game. We had cards, all new signals."

"The ball bounced around and went to their player, then to our player, then back to their player," Stowers said. "He [Dixon] kind of had it in his hand, and then I ripped it away. I put both hands on it and I wasn't letting anyone get it away from me. I even had guys on my team trying to rip at the ball, I was like 'nope." Kansas then drove the ball down the field to the La. Tech 35-yard line, setting the stage for Wyman. One of the bigger sub-plots of the game was post-game, when Heaps shed light on the new offense that was utilized for the first time against Louisiana Tech. We changed everything for this game. We had cards, all new signals," Heaps said. "I think our offense, during practice, handled that so well and that was a big deal - how these guys could respond, how they could handle it.

Companies are seeking a new approach to reaching out to college students — using their peers to market products. Businesses with a focus on youth turned their sights toward university students with interests in things such as music and partying, which has proved quite profitable to companies marketing to twenty-somethings. This revelation by many companies has caused them to seek out college students to take their wares to the collegiate masses. "They're very college-based," said Lauren Watkins, a junior pre-business major, who is also a campus representative for the music-playing application, Spotify. "I love music, and I love Spotify. I thought the best way to get experience in the music business was to get involved with them." Other companies like Southern Tide, Vineyard Vines and Southern Coast have their own campus representatives distributing apparel, products or services as well. Spotify is gaining popularity with students who don't want to pay on other outlets like iTunes. And with over 20 million downloads, it's not going away anytime soon. "So many kids use the app, at parties, at the library, it's really cool to think about how much things have changed in just a few years about how and how much we listen to music." Watkins said. Being a campus representative also has its benefits for the students. "The networking opportunities are really good," said Soreh Shriver. a senior studying film and media. "You get to meet a lot of people through the program and it looks great on a resume." Many of the largest campus representative programs in the nation have been initiated by New York-based marketing firm, Mr. Youth. The firm focuses on marketing products that university students are interested in and helps companies reach students in nontraditional ways. "People are really trying to become more like brands, and brands are trying to become more like people," said Matt Britton. co-founder and CEO of Mr. Youth, at the 2010 L2 Generation Next Forum. "Customers expect brands to talk with them instead of adding to the clutter." Mr. Youth runs several student ambassadorships across the nation with several major brands, including Coca-Cola, Nike, Playstation and Microsoft. While marketing agencies like Mr. Youth are revolutionizing the way students are marketed to, some of the oldest strategies for selling products still work. and market to people, but the internet has really changed everything."

Watkins said. "It works better when someone you know promotes a product."

High ranking members of the Kansas GOP have issued statements condemning Guth's tweet and calling for his termination. "I feel I have no choice but to call upon the University of Kansas and Chancellor Gray-Little to remove Professor Guth from the University's faculty." Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce (R-Hutchinson) wrote in a statement on Facebook Thursday. "Wishing death and damnation upon parents and their children is reprehensible and is not befitting of an employee of such a distinguished university." Guth, a Strategic Communications professor in the School of Journalism, tweeted on Monday: "#NavyYardShooting" The blood is on the hands of the NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters, Shame on you. May God damn you." In his call for Guth's termination, Bruce also cited the resignation of University Professor Paul Mirecki in 2005 for comments he made in an online forum regarding religious fundamentalists. "In light of the recent tragedy that befell our nation, the comments of Professor Guth reflect as poorly, if not more so, upon the University of Kansas as the comments made by Professor Mirecki." Bruce wrote. In the days following Guth's tweet, the University placed him on indefinite administrative leave. In a statement released on Friday, State Senate President Susan Wagle (R-Wichita) was supportive of the measures taken by the University, but said she wants more action taken.

HEALTH Edited by Sylas May Sleep medication usage increases across campus ELLY GRIMM egrimm@kansan.com As many as 80 million Americans currently suffer from insomnia, a common problem characterized by trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Many of those who suffer with insomnia often turn to sleep aids or medications to help. "I think a lot of times college students are interested in a quick fix for insomnia, because when you actually have time to sleep you really need to sleep because your days are so busy and you have so much to do that a lot of times you can't sleep," said Loree Cordova, a staff physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "It's a very uncomfortable position to be in to not be able to sleep." Cordova says other causes of insomnia that led to students taking sleeping medications include keeping odd schedules, taking other medications with stimulants, depression and stress from studies. However, Cordova says it's often According to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, approximately 5 percent of men and 3 percent of women around age 20 use sleep aids or medications to help them sleep, and the use has gone up in the last decade. these and similar underlying issues that need to be addressed before resorting to sleep medications. She also added that sleep-medication abuse tends to happen with sedative medications like Ambien (which can be more habit-forming), and said that, especially with college students, the most important thing to do is to remember that sleeping medications should be used very rarely. However, she says that if a student is getting to the point where he or she is requiring a daily medication to sleep even after making behavioral and environmental changes, it's important to work with a physician. Another reason to avoid sleeping medications is their effects on thinking and focus, which can particularly affect students as they make their way through school, work and other activities, Cordova said. "What's important is just realizing that, most of the time, the behavioral things that you can do to sleep better are often overlooked with college students and those are things that are in your control," Cordova said.

PAS ASSOCIATED PRESS In this July 26, 2013 file photo. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, foreground right, a member of the feminist punk band, Pussy Riot, listens from behind bars at a courtroom at a district court in Saransk. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova says she is beginning a hunger strike to protest harsh working conditions and threats to her life. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova is serving a two-year sentence for "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred." She and two other group members were arrested in early 2012 after Pussy Riot burst into Moscow's main Orthodox cathedral and tried to perform a "punk prayer" denouncing Vladimir Putin. In a passionate five-page letter published on the group's blog, Tolokonnikova said inmates in her penal colony are forced to work up to 17 hours a day in a shop that makes police uniforms in order to fulfill the quotas. Brigades that fail to meet the quotas are punished by being denied food, prevented from using the bathroom or made to stand outside in the cold, she wrote.

"If they find out that this happened because of you, then things will certainly never be bad for you because nothing is ever bad in the next world," Tolokonnikova quoted the deputy warden as saying. Tolokonnikova submitted separate complaints to Russia's chief investigative agency and the prison service about the threats she said she has received and the working conditions at the penal colony in the Mordovia region, about 500 kilometers (300 miles) east of Moscow. She described a system where inmates with ties to the prison administration are used to terrorize other inmates to keep them in line. The prison service said the inmates work in two shifts and denied that the women spend any more than eight hours per day in the sewing shop, the Interfax news agency reported.

POLICE REPORTS CRIME Composer's son sentenced to 25 years in prison for murder ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — An Oscar-winning composer's son was sentenced Monday to at least a quarter-century in prison in the death of his fashion designer girlfriend, capping a saga of a one-hit-wonder father and an aimless son both were accused of seriously abusing women. As Nicholas Brooks was given the maximum 25-year-to-life conviction in the murder of Sylvie Cachay, there was no way his father could have been there to see him. Joseph Brooks, who wrote the 1970s touchstone song "You Brooks' lawyer argued Cachay's December 2010 death was an accident, and Brooks told a court Tuesday it was "the most devastating thing that has ever occurred in my life. "I think about her every day, and it breaks my heart. I loved her very much, and not a moment goes by where I do not miss her." The liaison was laced with Brooks' jealousy and violence, prosecutors said; police once were summoned after he allegedly slammed Cachay's head into a wall, though no charges were "I think about her every day, and it breaks my heart. I loved her very much, and a moment goes by where I do not miss her," said Brooks, who plans to appeal. But Cachay's relatives lashed Light Up My Life," killed himself in 2011, while he was fighting charges of raping or molesting 13 would-be actresses. The younger Brooks, 27, and Cachay had a tumultuous six-month relationship, bolstered by obvious affection but hampered by differences in age, attitude and ambition, according to trial testimony. filed. Prosecutors said Brooks ultimately strangled Cachay because she was dumping him. NICHOLAS BROOKS out at Brooks: "a cowardly liar, a parasite to our society, an abuser of women and a repulsive murderer," said one of her brothers, Patrick Orlando. Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Bonnie Wittner said Brooks squandered his education and privilege. When Cachay met Brooks, he was a college dropout working odd jobs and living largely off a trust fund from his father. The elder Brooks largely raised him after a custody fight, said their mutual lawyer, Jeffrey Hoffman. The duo checked into the Soho House hotel after a small fire in Cachay's apartment. A surveillance camera showed the two wobbling into their room, then Nicholas Brooks leaving and returning several times, at one point Cachay's partially clothed body was discovered in an overflowing bathtub.

"Couples break up every day without one ending up in a gunny inside the coroner's office. He just had to walk away. That's all he had to do. 'Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann said. Hoffman argued Cachay drowned accidentally, passing out from an overdose of alcohol and prescription drugs used to treat migraines and fibromyalgia, a disorder that causes widespread pain. Brooks wanted to spend his future with Cachay, and "it was the first time in this man's life that he had ever had that depth of feeling for anyone and from anyone," Hoffman said. Joseph Brooks won the Academy Award for best original song in 1977 for "You Light Up My Life," sung by Debby Boone. Brooks wrote and directed the romantic comedy of the same name, but then his career foundered. Prosecutors said the songwriter lured the women to his Manhattan apartment through an online ad offering movie auditions, then sexually assaulted them after making them drink apparently drugged wine for an "acting exercise." He pleaded not guilty. Four days after his suicide at 73, his former assistant pleaded guilty to criminal facilitation, saying she helped him meet 10 of the women. MONEY FROM PAGE 1 life-skills. "These decisions are complicated, especially for young people." In her research for "Children as Potential Investors," Friedline analyzed seven years of data on young people who began savings accounts at the average age of 17. She found that those who started accounts were twice as likely to maintain their account, and four times more likely to have invested in stocks and accumulated an average of $2,000 by the time they were 23. Young people who did not start an account accumulated an average of about $100 in the same amount of time. Friedline said her findings also indicate that people who open savings accounts at a young age are more likely to develop a good relationship with financial institutions and understand how they operate. "Having connections with banks and learning how to use them well is important for transitioning into independence and adulthood." Friedline said. "Being able to invest in future assets and making those decisions at a young age can make it easier to make healthy financial decisions throughout the course of your life." Friedline said her research indicates not all young people are being properly educated when it comes to finance, which she thinks needs to be addressed in schools. "In some ways, it shows as a country we kind of neglected helping people grow up to be financially capable citizens." Friedline said. "Many kids are learning about financials through osmosis from their parents, but it is something that needs to be integrated much more systematically as far as schools and our public discourse and conversation." Ginger Werp, a senior from Overland Park, said she wasn't taught the nuances of savings and finance in school or at home, and that most young adults are forced to learn through experience. "I think it's just life," Werp said. "When you run out of money, you realize maybe next time you shouldn't spend so much, and prioritize bills and food instead of clothes and go out." Werp added that an education plan similar to what Friedline calls for could be beneficial for students. "Maybe if high schools, or when you're a freshman in college, if they kind of teach you about finances, that would be helpful." Werp said. "Even just an hour of a class could make a difference in what you think about when you're spending." Not everyone thinks a financial education is necessary, however. Evgeny Grishin, a junior from Russia, said with the resources available, people shouldn't need a class to learn the basics of savings. "I probably wouldn't attend it," Grishin said. "It's time, and there are other things to spend time on. I can probably learn it on my own; there's Internet and other things, so people can find out on their own." —Edited by Duncan McHenry GUTH FROM PAGE 1 encouraging, I trust University leaders will seek to minimize further damage to the reputation of the University of Kansas by severing all ties to Mr. Guth," Wagle wrote. Guth's Twitter account has been removed in the wake of the public backlash, but he has refused to apologize for his comments. "All I did was what any American should have the right to do: express his or her opinion in an opinion forum," Guth said last Thursday. "I regret that there's been a blowback at KU. I didn't do it on a KU site." Senator Greg Smith (R-Overland Park) also called for Guth's dismissal this weekend, citing his past conduct in addition to the recent tweet. The University censured Guth in 2010 for "unprofessional, threatening and abusive behavior towards another faculty member." "Professor Guth has a history of threatening colleagues, and he was censured for that," Smith said. "Apparently he likes to threaten people whether it's in social media or in person, and that's not the person I want to be spending tax dollars on educating the people of Kansas." Another topic working its way into the discussion surrounding "The problem I have with tenure is that sometimes it protects employees that do acts like this that would get someone in the private sector fired," Smith said.

GENDER ROLES Give me liberty or give me meth! wish to be a permanent writer for the UDK FFA. Modern males have ability to redefine role in society Being an American male isn't what it used to be. The idea of "traditional" masculinity that was predominant in the time of our fathers and grandfathers is not so ubiquitous today. One of the many great achievements of feminism and the LGBTQ- rights movement has been the deconstruction of rigid, "traditional" gender structures. Of course, we still have a long way to go before we can say the work is finished. But what goes largely unmentioned is where the advances of social egalitarianism and econom i shifts have left a generation of young men in America. The most glaring example of these shifts is rooted in the recession. Economic hardship brought on by unemployment or high costs has forced a swap in gender roles for many families. Women in general have benefited more from the slow recovery, in large part because male-dominated industries have been the hardest hit There are more stay-at-home fathers than ever before, and many experts expect those numbers to rise. The fact that women have adapted to roles as parents and breadwinners while many men have struggled to cross similar boundaries has led some more hyperbolic observers to declare that men are becoming "obsolete". Not only is this diagnosis egregiously exist, it is also far from the truth. When I hear stories about rigid, anachronistic barriers being bent or broken, I can't help but feel encouraged. These shifts are not omens of economic doom or the loss of masculine identity. These are opportunities to create our own identities, and to enjoy the freedom that the feminist (or as I prefer to call it, egalitarian), movement has spent generations struggling for. It's an opportunity to redefine and give limitless potential to the idea of "being a man." Chief among these is the opportunity for today's young By Eric Schumacher eschumacher@kansan.com men to give the next generation of children stable, loving fathers — something millions of young people of our generation have lived without. More men are also pursuing careers that would have been looked down upon as "women's professions" just a generation or two ago. The number of male nurses is at an all-time high, and, in England at least, the number of male primary school teachers has risen by 50 percent. But for all the opportunities being presented, men are acting slowly to take advantage. Great chances are squandered, rewarding careers aren't considered and risks with huge potential payouts aren't taken. Why? Maybe there's a deep underlying fear of "feminization" — that we are losing part of our identity or giving up too much of ourselves by venturing into new territory once thought of as reserved for women. Perhaps young men just don't think these opportunities are there for them, or overlook the ones that are. or overlook the ones that are. At the same time, a generation of girls has been raised to define their own identities and self-worth. Sadly, gender equality is still not a reality for women who earn unequal pay for equal work and face many other types of adversity. This is a cause that men shouldn't be opposed or ambivalent to; as gender equality thrives, everyone benefits. Still, too many young men slip between the cracks of the education system and fail to complete college or even high school. Young men of lower socioeconomic statuses are often as likely to go to jail as to finish college or vocational school. Huge numbers of young men are also victims of unhealthy or abusive relationships (with men and women alike) and don't use the resources available to help them. This isn't because our changing society is now punishing men or starting to unfairly favor women. It's because not enough men have chosen to be active participants in their own futures. In the push for true egalitarianism, men have too often been viewed as, or made themselves into, adversaries or bystanders instead of partners. It is clear that we cannot just cling to the tropes and structures that shaped our fathers and grandfathers. We must be more flexible, adaptive and resilient than men of recent generations have been. The forming of our identities is up to us, and no one — female, male, young or old — should do it for us. Eric Schumacher is a senior from majoring in political science and English from Topeka. GLOBAL THINKING Take advantage of art for better cultural understanding I recently saw "A Comedy of Sorrows," a play written by Ibrahim El-Houssini to illustrate the trials awaiting the Egyptian nation after the 2011 revolution, in Studio 354 in Murphy Hall. The work is poetic, rhythmic, full of rich symbolism and raw emotion. Halfway through, I closed my eyes to block out the harsh stage light and try to imagine the scenes through Ibrahim's eyes, transporting my mind to a dark graveyard housing those seeking out missed opportunities or the smoky Tahrir Square punctuated by periodic gunfire. Ideally, of course, wed all travel the world and seek out these people and experiences firsthand, but that isn't always a possibility. Travel costs, language barriers and safety concerns all prevent me from pitching camp in Tahrir Square to try to grasp what finally drives people to risk their lives and livelihoods to create a new government in their homeland. Theater and film obliterate these barriers, allowing us to live different experiences vicariously through the characters until the lights come on and the credits roll. Art also presents us with experiences wed never imagined existed. This summer, while casually browsing the documentaries section of Hulu, I came across the movie "Volcanic Sprint." For 52 minutes, I was a virtual spectator at the Mt. Cameroon Race of Hope, cheering on runners like Sarah Etonge and Max Ekema in their extraordinary race up and down a 10,000-foot volcanic mountain in West Africa. I'll likely never meet Max or Sarah, but I'm lucky By Amanda Gress agress@kansan.com to know their story and feel my world broaden as I hike up Mt. Oread every morning. in the case study, students at Lesley's "Power of Image" class watched a Korean film before creating Korean ink paintings, writing personal reflections and finally participating in a classroom discussion. The author noted that students were excited to undertake the project, and learned in an interactive way by responding to the characters presented that prompted serious reflection on the topic. Critics of the theater and film as a source of serious education might point out that authors hold specific points of view and hope to evoke specific reactions in their audiences. This is completely accurate, but it doesn't undermine the value of the medium. While I was studying in Jordan, I watched two documentaries about Palestinian refugees living in Jordanian camps and residents of Palestine purchasing holiday passes to visit their Israeli hometowns. Obviously the producers deeply opposed Israeli policies, and the palpable feeling in the audience reinforced how strongly most of the viewers agreed. While I wasn't presented both sides of the argument in that setting, I did gain a much better understanding of why the issue framed how many of my fellow moviegoers viewed the world. We can't understand different cultures without understanding the different points of view they contain. For those of us whose teachers aren't planning to begin showing video in classes any time in the near future, the opportunity to experientially learn through art is still easily available. The Spencer Museum of Art frequently hosts film screenings, and Liberty Hall on Massachusetts Street also shows films that fall outside of mainstream movie culture. This October, the Glenwood Arts Theater in Overland Park will hold the Kansas International Film Festival with over 50 movies. I personally cannot wait for the Oct. 25 showing of "Wadida", a Saudi film directed by a woman and detailing one girl's quest to obtain a bicycle of her own. --instance, don't try to sneak out when Dad is asleep. He WILL catch you. It was kind of like sitting back and watching a movie of three different lives, learning what to do and, of course, what not to do. Amanda Gress is a junior studying political science and economics from Overland Park. It's possible that, as our world becomes more technological and image-oriented, film, art and theater will gain a more prominent place in the classroom. In 2013, Young Imm Kang Song, a graduate student of creative arts in learning at Lesley University, published an article in the International Journal of Social Science Studies about methods of teaching that combine film, artistic production and reflection as a way to teach foreign culture. Unbelievably, I had the chance to speak with Ibrahim H-Eoussimi immediately after A Comedy of Sorrows concluded. We talked about the play, about Egypt and about how much I'd enjoyed myself. I thanked him, sincerely, because I hadn't just been entertained (for free) on my college's campus for an evening. For those two hours, I'd had the chance to travel to another world.

Sometimes all that corny material shown in movies can really make me nauseous, but at the end of the day, we all would secretly like to be in that corny situation. I'm starting to notice that finding love doesn't quite resemble the movies. I don't think I, or anyone else for that matter, will ever quite have anything similar to the classic tearjerker known as "The Notebook."

Trevor Graff, editor-in-chief editor@kansan.com Allison Kohn, managing editor akohn@kansan.com Dylan Lysen, managing editor dlysen@kansan.com All this has me wondering if dating has become extinct in this day and age. Notice that we live in a time where relationships are progressing on the Internet instead of on a face-to-face basis. Boyfriends and girlfriends are just someone to take pictures with, and courting isn't even in our vocabulary. Girls are wrapped up in the media that surrounds us with fake ideas of what a relationship should be, and don't even get me started about those captivating Luke Bryan love songs. Is he trying to kill us with his charming words? Will Weber, opinion editor www.besper@ansan.com Mellee Pointer, business manager mpointer@ansan.com Seam Powers, sales manager Love has become one of those words tossed around like a Frisbee, and similarly, it'll occasionally smack you in the face. I've never found love myself, and you all are probably thinking that I don't have a clue about love at the age of 19. To guys reading this article, try to take the initiative to bring romance back to life. I know some of you are wrapped up in being the player that all your friends want you to be, but someday you're going to grow up and wish you had gotten the experience of falling in love. That's probably true, but I have seen love. I've learned what love is through my older brother and sisters. Being the youngest of the family (by a lot), I got to learn from a lot of mistakes, wrong turns and bad choices. For Molly Smith is a sophomore majoring in speech-language pathology from Lenexa. But I also got the privilege of watching each of my siblings fall in love. They've taught me that love is unconditional, sharpened by challenges and strengthened by our growth. No, it's nothing like the movies. I've seen that it's more real and genuine. It has flaws, and what's beautiful about it is that it's not perfect. I love that my sister, after having been married for a few years now, still says she has the best husband in the world. I guess I'm just hoping that we as a society haven't killed romance. For all those girls who, like me, haven't found the "perfect" guy that they want to be with forever. I want to suggest that you take a look at yourself first. For I believe that loving yourself is key to knowing what you want from any relationship. Start by getting rid of people that drag you down, people that have been nothing but wrong to you and, most importantly, those people that don't make you a priority.

Texas, after giving up more than 822 rushing yards in the last two games, buckled down this week in their first league game, yielding only 115 yards to K-State. Texas head coach Mack Brown mentions that the different schemes in the defense were much simpler, and credited Greg Robinson for toning it down and allowing the players to just let loose. Brown said it was a much-needed win, and their goal to win the Big 12 is still intact. "I think what it does it gives them the confidence to move forward," Brown said in the weekly Big 12 media teleconference. "Big 12 has been a really important goal since January." Baylor's offense keeps rolling Baylor head coach Art Briles showed last year that it's not necessarily the Quarterback that makes the system, but rather the system that makes the QB. construct a high-powered offense with different players and recruits. Now Bryce Petty fills that lauded Baylor QB role, and Baylor is still putting up points again this year. Art Briles thinks the ceiling on Petty is sky-high right now and he needs to work to reach it. When QB Nick Florence up put monstrous numbers last year it was a testament to Briles' ability to "He's been okay," Briles said. "He can be better. There's a lot of areas he can get better and he will get better." Baylor now has totaled 209 points in just three games, albeit against lower competition, and is tops in the country by a large margin. Petty currently leads the country in QB rating with a stupendous 239.5. Coupled with Petty's passing attack is top-flight Big 12 running back Lance Seastrunk, who is second in the country with 11 yards per carry. Seastrun has had three straight 100-yard-plus games and has amassed 417 yards thus far. "Lance is a guy that takes care of himself from a physical standpoint and a mental preparation standpoint," Briles said. "Really tuning in to what he needs to do to become the most complete back in America and that's what his goal is." While the offense has dazzled with points through the first three games, Briles isn't looking with a wide scope, but is instead gazing at the little things in front of him. "You know, the strange thing is we're not really looking at it and saying 'wow'," Briles said. "We're just looking at it like we need to improve here, we need to execute here better, we need be able to pick up this 4th and-2; we're looking at it like we're just getting going." Big 12 Game of the Week After a heartbreaking loss last year against Notre Dame, Bob Stoops realizes it's going to take a lot of tight play and discipline to beat the Irish. "I think first, turnovers are a huge deal," Stoops said. "Third down conversions, each way stopping them and us get them. Being able to have good balance run and pass. I think last year they made all the plays down the stretch and that's what changed the game." While Notre Dame has lost its defensive linchpin Manti Teo, the team's defense is still extremely stout, and Stoops says not a whole lot has changed. "They're a very similar team. Their schemes are all the same." Stoops said. "They good athletes and well disciplined in everything they do." Oklahoma is recognized for going on the road against tough competition and, with QB Blake Bell'sfirst career road start, the atmosphere will be just another factor, but Stoops is well-seasoned when it comes to these situations. "Hopefully we'll handle it well." Stoops said. "With our style of not huddling, hopefully we'll be able to handle it the right way." —Edited by Sylas May 22 BROWNS 15 Cleveland Browns benefit from early trade, road win ASSOCIATED PRESS Cleveland Browns cornerback Buster Skrine (22) breaks up a pass in the end zone intended for Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Greg Jennings (15) during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Sept. 22, 2013, in Minneapolis MINNEAPOLIS — Brian Hoyer and the Cleveland Browns refused to let a stunning midweek trade and widespread assumptions they'd give up on this season keep them from a late rally on the road for their first win. They didn't flinch after any of Hoyer's three interceptions, either, against a Minnesota team in urgent need of a victory. Why would Hoyer be bothered by a little pressure, anyway? He grew up as a Browns fan, after all.

"We're never going to quit. The guys in this room aren't that way, and I'm not that way. It's not even in our terminology." Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said Christian Ponder is still the starting quarterback, despite two more turnovers. His interception was turned into a touchdown in the second quarter, and his fumble at the Cleveland 16 on the last play of the first half cost the Vikings the chance to try a short field goal they could've used later.

"We have a really resilient group," Hoyer said, "and I think we showed that this week." "We're never going to quit. The guys in this room aren't that way, and I'm not that way. It's not even in our terminology," said first-year coach Rob Chudzinski, who earned his first career win. Here are five things we learned from Hoyer's first win as a starter and Minnesota's last home opener at the Metrodome: Hoyer threw 54 passes, completing 30 for 321 yards. Josh Gordon's return from a two-game suspension opened up the field, and the Vikings had little success stopping him. Hoyer targeted him 19 times, and he caught 10 passes for 146 yards and a score. The Browns didn't miss running back Trent Richardson, who was dealt to Indianapolis, at all. 1. PONDERING THE FUTURE: downs, but hustle won't be enough by itself to keep the job for the long term Ponder was booed several times, and a brief chant for backup quarterback Matt Cassel broke out.

IN HOMETOWN RHODE Richardson's departure left Willis McGahee, Bobby Rainey and fullback Chris Ogbonnaya to fill the backfield, and they had little impact. Cleveland's best runs were a 34-yarder by Josh Aubrey on a fake punt that set up a field goal in a wild second quarter and a 22-yard reverse by Gordon to set up a touchdown on the previous possession. McGahee, who's fourth among active players on the NFL's career yards rushing list, gained 9 yards. He took eight handoffs. 3. STOUT FRONT SEVEN: Peterson had a hard time, too, against a Browns defense that is giving up 2.81 yards per rush. He finished with 88 yards and a touchdown but lost a fumble and never found any gains of 10 yards or more. Rookie outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo had one of the six sacks, and inside linebacker Craig Robertson recovered Peterson's fumble and tipped the ball that T.J. Ward intercepted in the second quarter. 4. BANGED UP: The Browns lost outside linebacker Jaheal Sahead and defensive end Billy Winn to knee injuries, and kicker Billy Cundy had quadriceps trouble. The Brownsa failed to convert a fourth-and-4 at the Minnesota 37 midway through the third quarter, and they used punter Spencer Lanning to kick the last extra point. Lanning threw an 11-yard scoring pass to Cameron in the second quarter on a fake field goal. For the Vikings, top corner back Chris Cook was lost in the first quarter because of a groin injury. Safety Jamarca Sanford was missing in the second half because of a hamstring problem, and cornerback A.J. Jefferson hurt his ankle. Tight end/fullback Rhett Ellison didn't suit up because of a hyperextended knee. 5. LONDON CALLING: The Vikings gave up a home date to play the NFL's annual showcase in London, so their overseas flight on Monday night might feel a little longer after this ominous loss. The good news is they play Pittsburgh, one of the other five winless teams left in the league. "The only thing we can do now is bounce back. We can't let this direct us on a different path," Peterson said. Recycle, Recycle, Recycle Recycle, Recycle, Recycle We've got the right place for you.

It has been almost a year and a half since the superstar point guard tore his ACL in the first game of the 2012 playoffs against the 76ers. A few weeks later, LeBron James and company raised the championship trophy, leaving a gaping hole in the hearts of Chicago fans and Rose himself. Fast forward to the 2013 offseason. Rose's return for the season opener against Miami is certain, but will he be able to reach the level of intensity he once had? Ask Rose this question and he will answer with a definite yes. By Tori Rubinstein trubinstein@kansan.com erod. No "ifs" "ands" or "buts" about it. He will enter the school with a higher shooting range and ten pounds of added muscle. His vigorous summer workouts have made him stronger and quicker than ever before, and he's stated that he is more explosive to the rim without those old nagging injuries. Forget making a slow and steady comeback. Rose has only one goal for this year: winning a championship. Some may think this goal is little far- fetched for a guy who hasn't played a single second in the NBA in over a year. Those people would be wrong. This is a man who stood in front of the media and told the world he would be the league's MVP. A few months later, Rose spoke to the media again, this time giving his 2010 Most Valuable Player acceptance speech. He is one of the most self-driven athletes in the world and will stop at nothing to prove himself as the best. That is what is so soothing to fans about his confidence. We have seen what happens when Rose has the fire in his eye, and boy, is it scary. KU But even with Rose's high expectations, the fans of Chicago will still be worrying. The sight of their hero clutching his knee in agonizing pain is forever engrained in their hold their breath in concern. NBA players and fans all over the country will be keeping a close eye on Rose's long-awaited return. After all, everybody loves a great comeback, unless you are on the opposing team. —Edited by Sylas May This week in athletics Tuesday Women's Golf 2013 Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational All Day Manhattan Men's Golf Desert Classic All Day Laramie, Wyo.

VISIT THE NEW KANGAIR.COM Volume 126 Issue 19 kansan.com Tuesday, September 24, 2013 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS S sports COMMENTARY A little luck goes a long way By Ben Ashworth bashworth@kansan.com KILLIN' IT Kansas registered a victory on Saturday night because its kicker and quarterback decided to bounce back from early mistakes with clutch performances in pressure situations. Ultimately, fortune smiled upon the Javhawks. Louisiana Tech had two opportunities to tie the game with fourth quarter touchdowns, and both times it had the misfortune of making a costly error despite a valiant effort. Louisiana Tech lost on Saturday night because two of its players had the audacity to make the extra effort. With 14 minutes remaining in the game and a chance to put the Bulldogs up by two touchdowns, quarterback Ryan Higgins, in an attempt to put a spectacular finish on a strong 27-yard run, dove for the end zone and extended his arm to the pylon. However, he lost control of the football as he dove and essentially threw the ball into the end zone for a touchback. While there was plenty of time left for the Jayhawks to mount a comback, it seemed unlikely seeing as how Kansas' offense had the momentum of Han Solo encased in carbonite. Using the energy derived from such an unexpected turnover, the Jayhawks marched down the field to a Jimmay Mundine touchdown. The crowd erupted, and Mundine got a much-needed confidence boost after the previous two games in which his hands proved about as reliable as George Costanza. Louisiana Tech and Kansas both punted their next possessions. With six minutes left, the Bulldog offense got the ball back and embarked upon a frustrating 80-yard drive. Louisiana Tech seemed ready to hold onto the ball as long as possible and kick the winning field goal. All they had to do was not fumble. If you haven't guessed by now, Louisiana Tech fumbled. Running back Kenneth Dixon had already gotten a first down and was going for the dagger. It was a run that, had he not fumbled, would have been hailed as gritty and tenacious. However, Kansas junior Michael Reynolds dislodged the ball from Dixon's grip and the Jayhawks emerged with the football. With the ball on its own five yard line, two timeouts left and the clock ticking, Jake Heaps orchestrated a beautiful drive with pinpoint passes that gave the receivers plenty of room for vards after the catch. Matthew Wyman, with a weight on his shoulders that would have made Atlas himself shudder, kicked the winning field goal from 52 yards out. Pandemonium ensued. For Kansas to succeed this season, it needs that dumb luck. When combined with a little talent and a lot of heart, it can cause a team to exceed expectations. None of these positives would have happened were it not for a fortuitous turn of events. More importantly, Kansas needs to continue to capitalize on that luck as it did on Saturday. Both Bulldog turnovers led to lengthy drives and points on the board. Without those drives, Louisiana Tech still wins despite its miscues. Without those drives, it would be hard to differentiate this Kansas team from last year's.

Kansas won 13-10. Kansas looks to improve physicality over bye week IMAX GOODWIN mgoodwin@kansan.com If players were not sore after the 13-10 victory on Saturday over Louisiana Tech, they will be after practice on Tuesday. "The first thing we're gonna do is we're going to beat the hell out of each other on Tuesday," Charlie Weis said over the Big 12 media teleconference call. Weis has something different planned for each day of the byeweek to prepare the team for conference play, which begins Oct. 5 with Texas Tech. The concern at the moment is that the Jayhawks don't play with enough physicality. "We still need to become a tougher team," Weis said, "and I think that an off-week is a good time to do that." The offensive line isn't the only unit that Weis said needs to become more physical, but it's where he's emphasized it most. In the game against Louisiana Tech, the offensive line failed to get enough push on two fourth down and short yardage situations. The Jayhawks turned the ball over as a result. Weis said the line is still a work in progress with about eight players in competition for "I don't think inexperience is the issue," Weis said. "We're going to come out tomorrow and have a really physical practice." playing time. For Kansas to have any success in the Big 12, the offensive line must gain toughness. The strength of the team is its running game, which has an array of running backs and is led by senior James Sims.

The exhibition displays art about the Dust Bowl until Dec. 15. TOM QUINLAN tguinlan@kansan.com The Spencer Museum of Art is exhibiting six posters designed by students at the University. The exhibit, "I Kansas Farmer," illustrates the scale of the Dust Bowl, current issues and future challenges Kansas agriculture will face. The students applied design concepts learned in class at the University to create the exhibition. The Dust Bowl was a period of severe drought and dust storms during the 1930s and was the largest agricultural disaster in Kansas' history. The "I Kansas Farmer" exhibit illustrates the scale of the Dust Bowl, as well as challenges that will affect farmers in the future. The posters highlight the importance of agriculture in Kansas. The exhibition is the result of a collaboration between Patrick Dooley, a professor of visual communication at the University, and Kate Meyer, assistant curator of Works on Paper at the Spencer. the posters are meant to inform in a way that is as engaging as possible," Meyer said. The posters depict issues such as water conservation, biofuels and climate change. Meyers said that cooperation among the scientific and farming communities is essential to solving these challenges.

The posters balance themselves between elements of design, science and art, according to the Spencer's website.

An analysis of federal data by ProPublica found that since 1996, the portion of grants given to the poorest college students has shrunk from 34 percent to 25 percent, and the portion going to the wealthiest has increased from 16 percent to 23 percent. Director of the KU News Service Jill Jess said this trend could be a result of universities trying to bring a certain diversity to their campus. for higher-income students comes primarily from an increase in merit-aid, which is money granted to students regardless of their financial need. In 1995, state universities provided merit-aid to eight percent of undergraduates and need-based aid to 13 percent, but now 18 percent of undergraduates are granted merit-aid and only 16 percent receive need-based aid. According to a study conducted by the think tank New America Foundation in May entitled, "Undermining Pell: How Colleges Compete for Wealthy Students and Leave the Low-Income Behind," the increase in money CARSON LEVINE Senior "There is a focused effort within higher education to strategically use available funds to support institutional goals, such as a high- ability and diverse student body," she said. "There's a lot of hoops to jump through and a lot of stuff you have to do to get the aid." component, which does take into consideration the student's family income and ability to pay," she said. "In other words, when awarding scholarships, the University adheres to the donor's criteria." Jess added that the University offers the KU Pell Advantage grant, which is determined both by a family's ability to pay their student's expenses as well as the student's high school GPA and test scores. 1996 2000 2004 2008 2012 Students in the lowest quartile of income Students in the highest quartile of income — source: ProPublica analysis of data from the U.S. Department of Education National Postsecondary Student Aid Sf — GRAPHIC BY ALLYSON MAT THE DECLINE IN GRANTS TO LOW-INCOME STUDENTS Portion of institutional grants given to students in lowest and highest income quartiles "Some scholarship donors do include a financial-need The New America Foundation study also found that lower-income students are facing higher net prices because of a strategy called "high tuition, high aid" in which universities greatly increase tuition and offer more financial aid to low-income students at the time. However, the study found that low-income students at universities that take this approach are facing net prices that are twice as much as those at "low-tuition" universities. The majority of University scholarships are merit-based and not based on students' family income, but Jess said this does not necessarily mean students' financial needs are not considered when it comes to aid and scholarships. Senior Carson Levine pays for all her expenses herself, but because she is under the age of 25, she is still considered a dependent and does not receive as much financial aid. She did not receive her usual Pell Grant for her final semester. Because of this, Levine says she can empathize with the difficulties lower-income students face when trying to pay for school. "It is frustrating," she said. "There's a lot of hoops to jump through and a lot of stuff you have to do to get the aid. I mean, I applied for financial aid my freshman year, but they thought my dad made too much money, which I felt wasn't true at all, but I didn't get it." Garrett Fugete, a graduate student from St. Louis, says universities need to find a way to get more aid to lower income students, but also avoid punishing those who earned scholarships. "I don't see anything wrong with basing things on merit." Fugete said. "I mean if you're a good student, I think people should be able to be rewarded for that. Maybe they should find a balance, where if there's a person with good grades and in need, they should come first, rather than a person who does have merit but doesn't really have that need."

EDUCATION New testing methods embrace student diversity KATIE MCBRIDE kmcbride@kansan.com Teachers have started to move away from multiple choice exams and towards alternative testing methods, said Bruce Frey, University associate professor in psychology and research in education and the author of "Modern Classroom Assessment." In the past, most tests were given in traditional paper-and-pencil formats, but many other methods have started to become more popular among teachers. Frey said one reason for this shift is that multiple choice tests don't show how students can apply classroom knowledge to an actual life situation. "So many of the ways that we test and assess students in class are very artificial, and are things that we wouldn't see outside of a classroom," Frey said. "In real life, when people are evaluated on their skills or performance, it's not going to be on a multiple choice test." This issue can be addressed with "authentic assessments", which is one alternative method of testing discussed in Frey's book. While there are many different definitions of authentic assessments. Frey said that they essentially test the student's skills and abilities past basic classroom knowledge. This could be done in many different ways, depending on the subject area. Students could write an essay, perform a task, create a project or complete any other assessment BANKS Bruce Frey that reflects their ability level. Frey said the problem with this new test strategy is that it tends to be very subjective and requires the teacher to put a lot of thought into fairly testing every individual student. In addition, it also creates a challenge for the teacher — instructors must figure out how to best assign point values to non-traditional testing measures. Because of this, a simple multiple choice test with points awarded for each correctly answered question is often times chosen over performance-based assessments in order to objectively assign a grade for each student. While the students have less of a chance to show their personal skills and abilities, multiple choice tests are optimal for testing a student's basic knowledge and grasp of a subject, said Frey. Another concept that Frey covers in his book is the "formative assessment." With this type of assessment, students are continually evaluated on their knowledge level and what areas they do and do not understand. This evaluation might come in the form of quizzes, discussions or the student personally evaluating what they understand. While these checks may not always be valued toward the student's final grade in the class, they allow both the teacher and the student to see what concepts need to be clarified. "This idea of frequently giving meaningful feedback during the time that learning is forming is well-established as effective in increasing learning and test performance," Frey said. "It's the only type of assessment that's been shown to increase learning." Another one of the modern assessment techniques that Frey writes about in his book is the "universal test design," which is the idea to design assessments in a way that allows each individual student to complete them and perform well, despite diversity. "The ways we teach and assess should be useful and valuable for every single student, no matter if they have a disability, regardless of what culture they come from, or what their characteristics are." Frey 第1页 "In real life, when people are evaluated on their skills or performance, it's not going to be on a multiple choice test." BRUCE FREY University associate professor said. Frey adds that as teachers find more ways to create these types of universal assessments, more and more students can complete them without being treated differently from any other student. However, instructors don't need to choose between traditional testing methods and newer strategies. Lauren Dollar, a junior from Nixa, Mo., said that a balance must exist between completing hands-on, skill-based tasks and testing student understanding with a traditional, paper-and-pencil method. VICES "There's no way to get around multiple choice tests in order to test the students' knowledge on the facts and theories that they learned about," Dollar said. "As a teacher, in order to see where the student is and how they're progressing, you need a comparison to see if they're progressing from where they were at the beginning." Dollar recently applied to the School of Education and found that through school observations, she could make strong connections between what she read about in her textbooks and how to realistically apply that knowledge when she's interacting with students. "You have to have the real-world experience, and you also have to come back to the classroom and learn why it works and how it works." Dollar said. Study says smarter kids use drugs, alcohol more often — Edited by Kayla Overbey ylee@kansan.com From those who nurse hangovers well into the next day to those who have a glass of wine with dinner, students vary widely in their drinking and drug habits. A new research study published in "Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research" sheds some new light on the matter and found that it is the more intelligent students who are trying alcohol and drugs at an earlier age and using them more frequently. "I had a couple friends in high school who never had to study for anything, so they had all this extra time on their hands and chose to do drugs or drink instead of actually preparing for classes." Ryerson said. "Part of intelligence is the curiosity component and experimentation," said Paula Fite, assistant professor of clinical child psychology. Intelligent students may start experimenting with drugs and alcohol because they are not challenged by their environment, said sophomore Jordan Ryerson from Blue Springs, Mo. Smarter kids may be better equipped to get their hands on drugs and alcohol. Fite said that kids with higher verbal skills at younger ages are associated with higher socioeconomic status. "So they have more money to buy the substances. So it might not be actual ability, but the environmental factors that also play into that, like money." Fite said. "You want to be careful when you say things like 'more frequently' because it's not to a point of addiction," Fite said. "It's less impulsive using and more likely planned. Part of it is, [they] are probably better at making decisions." And even though more intelligent students may start drinking at an earlier age, the study found they are not more prone to addiction. The research came as a surprise to Mitchell Pruett, a junior from Salina in the honors program. "I feel like most college students drink, but it seems a smaller percentage of honors students drink than the general population actually." Pruett said. In fact, the realities at the University may not reflect the research findings. "If we are looking at college students, we are looking at a relatively bright population," Fite said. "We are not looking at the whole spectrum of abilities so I think that it's probably hard to see too many differences and changes in already a pretty homogenous group."

As a result, she gained the notorious "Freshman 15." She didn't think she would pack on the pounds, but dorm food, the stress of a new school, classes and parties distracted her from a healthy lifestyle. After one year at the University, Hays decided to return home to Overland Park to continue school at Johnson County Community College. To get back on track, she hit the gym and planned a disciplined diet. "Goals don't happen in a blink of an eye, you need to have the patience and the confidence knowing that you CAN DO IT!!!" Hays wrote as her Facebook status on Sept. 13. "We able Now a junior at ICCC, Hays has managed to shed over 20 pounds, lose six percent of her body fat and regain her confidence.

Currently, the magazine's Facebook page displays photos of approximately 40 women, including Hays, who are competing for twelve spots to train with different Title Boxing Clubs.

"We need to be comfortable in our own skin," she said. "We need to be comfortable in our own skin." In addition, Hays entered HER-LIFE Magazine's fitness competition earlier this month for the chance to be on the cover of the January issue. Not only is the NATALIE HAYS Fitness competitor "Why not enter if you have a CONTRIBUTED PHOTO good chance of winning?" said Hays. "But even if I don't win, it's OK." "[A magazine competition] is interesting because it's just a different way of showing others how hard you've worked and how you're happy with yourself," said Maken- So far, the number of likes on the photos ranges from nine to 654, and Hays lies in between at 156. Voting ends Oct. 1. As if maintaining a strict fitness schedule doesn't keep her busy enough, Hays will grace the stage as a Miss Kansas USA pageant contestant in December. As a proud Jayhawk, her title is "Miss Rock Chalk USA." zie Koehn, a sophomore studying human biology. "It's wanting to display that success so that others might be encouraged to take the same step in a positive direction." Hays has been competing in pageants since 2004 but realized she needed to make changes when she compared her Miss Kansas Teen USA pageant pictures from her senior year in high school to those taken her freshman year at Kansas in 2011. Natalie Hays, a former University student, is competing for a chance to be featured on the cover of HERUFE Magazine. She has been in pageants since 2004. P After checking out a few different fitness programs, she took a new approach in March and began working with Derek McQuinn, an independent trainer at Excel Wellness Studio in Overland Park. "We train five hours a week but ultimately, she's the one who puts in all the work," said McQuinn. McQuinn said he hopes she achieves her goals, but believes that whether she wins competitions or not, her true life story will help other girls understand that there are healthy ways to lose weight. "I'm just myself," Hays said. "I don't want to be somebody else." Even though she is content with her decision to move home, Hays said she misses the University. A people person at heart, Hays will apply to Kamsas' nursing program after JCCC to further achieve her goal to help other people. "Apparently, if you work out the night before a test or exam, it helps you relax," Hays said. "I'll have to do some more research about that." — Edited by Emma McElhaney READING WANT NEWS UPDATES ALL DAY LONG? Lenexa was once considered the spinach capital of the world.

COMMON SENSE I've lived two months in my apartment and have still yet to pee off my balcony. First lady's health initiatives draw ridiculous criticism Beware the socialist water. That's the message that many online commenters are screaming as they circle the rounds of innocently uncontroversial articles that have littered the web recently. These articles all have one, seemingly straightforward topic in common: Michelle Obama's new initiative called "Drink Up" For those who don't know, the First Lady of the United States traditionally chooses some sort of project to work on while her husband is in office. Granted it's the President who gets elected, not the spouse, so it's understandable that people are wary of the First Lady overstepping her assigned duty. The thing is, there's historically been some very serious, controversial topics focused on by the First Lady, such as Eleanor Roosevelt's pursuit of equality for African American citizens during a time of continued segregation and Hillary Clinton's health care initiative that riled so many against her. Issues like these were very brave, but potentially damaging to both of these women's (and their husbands)' political careers. So when Michelle Obama chose a project to fight childhood obesity and get America healthier, it seemed like a walk in the park. I mean, what can be controversial about recognizing the well-documented problem of obesity in this country and trying to counteract it in positive ways like exercise and good eating? Apparently, a lot. Vicious comments once aimed at President Obama were turned to Michelle Obama, including such things as her initiative being a "socialist" movement and one to control and micromanage the lives of American citizens. No matter what Michelle Obama promoted as part of her campaign for health, it was met with skepticism at best and downright fury at worst. Which might be why a By Anna Wenner awenner@kansan.com few people have quietly suggested that Michelle Obama and her team were testing the dedication of the Obama-haters when they came out with their new initiative: "Drink Up" — a program suggesting Americans drink more water. Within days of this newly announced campaign, Politico reported on a multitude of experts who aimed to debunk her claims. Suddenly there were comments everywhere that Obama was trying to control every aspect of our lives because she suggested that we drink water. Because I mean, really, HOW DARE SHE. All across the web people are muttering in secluded chartrooms about Obama trying to force socialism on us all through her pushing of that horrific, might-not-be-goood-for-you water on us. While I do think Obama was serious about her wish for us to drink more water, there is a part of me that wonders if her team was testing the conservative outliers to see if they would find a way to disagree with and despise every project she proposed. If that was their intention, I think they got their answer. But, you know, I don't think they've gone far enough. I mean sure, this sector of society can start boycotting water because it's become part of a "socialist" agenda, but they were probably already doing that anyway (no one needs water when you have soda, right?). So since Obama still has a couple of years left as First Lady, I thought I'd give her a few ideas to really test the boundaries of the Obama-hate. 1) Breathe More Air Campaign — Studies show that taking more breaths every day can help increase your heart rate and air out your lungs. Taking proper breaths in fresh, outside air is ideal. (Let's see them try to boycott that one, shall we, Mrs. Obama?) 2) Do Whatever You Want Initiative — Since half of the trouble seems to come from Obama telling Americans what to do (even if it's telling through suggestions), this new initiative will trail away all of those arguments. It gives full power back to the people. And how, really, do you get angry about this one? Start doing what someone else tells you to because that way you aren't listening to what the First Lady suggested? 3) Think More, Think Better Plan — You know, on second thought this one doesn't apply. I'm pretty sure thinking was boycotted the moment people started speaking out against drinking water. POLITICS Anna Wenner is a junior majoring in English from Topeka Recent legal rulings have undone civil rights measures A few years ago I went with my dad to a meeting with the prisoner mentorship program he worked with. He met with men who had recently been released from prison, and his primary role in the mentorship was focused on re-entry — helping and advising these men on how to assimilate into society again after typically lengthy prison sentences, sometimes scanning entire adult live Anyone who knows my dad would not be surprised that he would be perfect for a position like this. He is a practitioner of tough love, something I can attest to firsthand as the primary source of his practice. I thought a lot about that visit. As a kid growing up in the JoCo bubble, my life was too often lacking the kind of enriching exposure I received that day. I realized that all of the men I met came from drastically different backgrounds than myself, and they had grown up facing adversity that I will never understand. The men I met that day never had the opportunities I have been granted in my life. They could not skate through high school with a complete disregard for responsibility or their own privilege and then just waltz into college. I also realized that nearly every single one of the men I met that day was black. Over the summer, the Supreme Court made rulings on some landmark cases. As most people know, there was a victory for equality, however other verdicts By Clay Cosby ccosby@kansan.com were not quite as progressive. The Voting Rights Act was, in essence, repealed. This act allowed the Federal Government to regulate voting standards in certain southern states to ensure that civil voting rights were upheld in the historically problematic region. Affirmative Action also went to the Supreme Court in June. In that case, the Supreme Court upheld a ruling of a federal appellate-level court, which ruled in favor of scaling back affirmative action. Both of these laws were initially put in place to protect rights that had been systematically violated and additionally promote the well-being and equal opportunity for any people that had been oppressed by the jurisdiction of past governments. These laws were meant to foster an assimilated and diverse community that would not discriminate. They were also intended to level the playing field until equality was actually realized and regulations were no longer necessary. So the message delivered by the majority opinion in these two cases is clear — the Court is saying that we have achieved a level playing field and measures such as these are outdated and unnecessary. cent of black men face incarceration in their lifetime, and some studies have shown that more black men are in prison than are enrolled in college. Black males represent six percent of the population of the United States, but 40 percent of incarcerated persons. Thirty per- It would take nothing further than this irrefutable empirical evidence to objectively conclude that the playing field is far from level. This simply could not happen in a society where equal opportunity existed. Sure, you could say that we just encountered a major recession and that maybe this isn't the most convenient time to think about equality. But as our economy recover's — and the numbers indicate we are further along the road to recovery than any cable news network will admit — then this is something that has to be addressed. On top of minority groups in the population that historically have been systematically oppressed and disadvantaged, upward mobility is at an all-time low for Americans in general. The American dream cannot be reimagined by maintaining the status quo. Generational malice is not undone quickly; halted upward mobility and an ever-increasing wealth gap serve to exacerbate this issue and only prolongs the resolution and reverses the progress we have already made. Clay Cosby is a junior majoring in political science from Overland Park. HEALTH Higher drink prices mean lower STD rates Lets abandon Donald Night. Now before you begin hating me, I have a good reason to back this. Anyone who's lived in close proximity to others can recall the noise level when people start stumbling back any given Wednesday. From the Student Ghetto to Daisy Hill, everyone can hear students return without their IDs, sense of direction and sobriety. I'm not a fun-sucker or a teetotaler. How- ever, I stand behind higher drink prices because they can mitigate unfavorable behavior. Studies show higher drink prices can lead to less risky sexual behavior, less binge drinking and lower STD rates. I think a decrease in STDs is a justifiable reason to raise drink prices. In her book, "Dollars and Sex," economist Marina Adshade chronicles the journey in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to lower alcohol-related rowdiness and fighting by drinking prices. The city mandated a price floor on drinks, requiring establishments to set prices above the market equilibrium. Economic findings also proposed the laws reduced risky sexual behavior, as evidenced by lower STD rates. Looking at state-by-state differences in taxes on alcohol, Harrell Chesson, Paul Harrison and William Kassler found a $1 increase in liquor rate reduces gonorrhea rates by two percent, and a tax of just 20 cents per six-pack reduces gonorrhea rates by nine percent and syphilis rates by 33 percent. CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK But just so I'm not bewailing us and our plight too much, there's a place that could use higher drink prices much more than Larryville — their STD rates are through the roof. Lubbock, Texas: Home of the Texas Tech Red Raiders. A high school friend of mine ran track for Kansas State. She was in Lubbock for a meet and said the student coupon booklet there had vouchers for discounted and free herpes tests. Lubbock has some of By Anrenee Reasor areasor@kansan.com the highest STD rates among college towns, and is even rumored to have its own strain of herpes, quaintly called "Raider Rash." They could definitely benefit from heightened alcohol prices. You say people would just pre-game (more) if drink prices increased in bars? Well maybe prices in liquor stores should be raised as well. History proves alcohol is a luxury good, so people will always indulge in it. I'm just suggesting they indulge in moderation and not get completely smashed to the point where others have to clean up after their bodily functions. Though I don't think Dollar Night will be disappearing anytime soon, at least placing some kind of limit would be adequate. Excessive drinking leads to deplorable decisions, poor judgment and calamitous consequences. Need I remind you all we're nearing the one year anniversary of the Boom Boom Room Couple? (Not that I expect them to still be together or anything.) Cheap drinks open the threshold to binge drinking, risky choices regarding sex and higher STD rates. Lastly, people who return from Dollar Night think it's acceptable to screech, "TM SOOOO TRASHEDDD!!!" while others are trying to sleep, study or ignore the fact they have no friends. UDK That's just my take. I know it will be unpopular among the student body. If Dollar Night never happened again, I can't say I'd be disappointed, only surprised. So let's raise drink prices before a new strain called the "Hawk Herp" comes into existence. Anrenee Reasor is a junior studying economics and EALC from Thayer.

On Monday he and his band shut down a stretch of Hollywood Boulevard to perform a handful of songs for a lucky few thousand as part of "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Many in the crowd had been waiting much of the day for a chance to catch the ex-Beatle in action. McCartney was pushing his forthcoming album "New" by doing a few songs for TV, but stuck around for a set that included older songs fans wanted to hear. His list was full of big-ticket songs. He and his touring band tore through Beatles classics "Hey Jude," "Let It Be," "Back in the USSR," "Magical Mystery Tour," "Birthday," "Lady Madonna" and more, and peppered in solo and Wings songs such as "Band on the Run," "Another Day," "Jet" and three new work including the excellent title track Ever gracious and warm, McCartney made every effort to acknowledge the masses surrounding him.

Panish asked a Los Angeles jury to act as the conscience of the community and award damages for the loss of the pop star's life.

Attorney Brian Panish made the claims while delivering his closing argument in the long-running negligence case, asking jurors: "Do people do things they shouldn't do for money? People do it every day." A $150,000-a-month contract to care for Jackson was a lifeline to help Dr. Conrad Murray climb out of his financial troubles, Panish told jurors, saying the doctor was $500,000 in debt and about "We're not looking for sympathy. We're looking for justice,not partial but complete justice." Blanket Jackson over the loss of their father and was warned by the judge that jurors should not base their verdict on sympathy. "We're not looking for sympathy." Panish said. "We're looking for justice, not partial but complete justice." He then showed nearly an hour of videos produced for the trial that included heart-wrenching home movies that featured his songs and images of his children when they were babies. However, the focus of his argument was on the relationship between AEG and Murray. Panish told a packed courtroom that Murray's financial woes were unknown to AEG Live when jackson proposed the cardiologist as his private physician because the company did not research Murray's situation. He also said Murray's willing- BRIAN PANISH Attorney er's mother, accuses AEG Live of negligence in hiring Murray. Panish proposed that jurors award $290 million to Katherine Jackson and the singer's children for non-economic damages such as the loss of love and comfort. He gave no specific figure for possible economic damages, urging jurors to make their own decision while reminding them that expert witnesses had said Michael Jackson could have earned more than $1 billion had he lived longer. Panish also spoke of the anguish of Prince, Paris and ness to close his medical offices to take the job could have raised a red flag if AEG Live had investigated the cardiologist. "Obviously, he was incompetent and unfit," Panish said. "He caused the death of Michael Jackson." Murray was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter after giving Jackson an overdose of the anesthetic propofol as he tried to sleep during preparations for his "This Is it" concerts in London. Attorneys for AEG will present their closing argument Wednesday. The company has claimed that THE U RECOR N Jackson insisted that Murray treat him because the doctor was giving him propofol as a sleep aid. The drug is not meant to be used outside operating rooms. AEG Live drafted a contract for Murray's services, according to testimony, but it was only signed by Murray. Still, Panish said, the contract was valid because it was the result of oral negotiations with Murray. Panish urged jurors to act as the conscience of the community and award damages to Jackson's family. Jackson's mother, Katherine, her daughter Rebbie and nephews Taj and TJ, sat in a front row as Panish delivered his remarks. The trial had been moved to a larger courtroom to accommodate media, spectators, lawyers and Jackson fans. A delegation of justice officials from Thailand also observed from the gallery. The afternoon session immersed jurors in the life of Jackson with another video tracing his life from humble beginnings in Gary, Ind., to the heights of fame, with scenes of performances worldwide in vast arenas. Much of the footage was from his early career. "That is the best evidence that Michael Jackson would have sold tickets," Panish said about the earning power of the pop star. The video ended with the song, "Gone Too Soon" and Jackson's voice saying, "I love you." If jurors find that damages should be assessed, the judge said they must not consider such issues as the wealth of both sides or the grief endured by the Jackson family. A unanimous verdict is not required. Only nine of the 12 jurors must agree. ASSO 75¢ Off Any Sub "I have tense as my life been by time," ment.

"I have had some of the most intense and memorable months of my life out on the Pacific, it has been brilliant and brutal at the same time," Sarah Outen said in a statement. "And it has been a privilege." Outen celebrated with a bottle of champagne in Adak, Alaska, and greeted community members and supporters, her first human contact in nearly five months, as first reported by the Anchorage Daily News. "I have pushed myself to my absolute limits both physically and mentally to make land here in Alaska, and [my] body and mind are now exhausted," she said. She left Choshi, Japan, on April 27. It is part of her plan for a global trek by an ocean rowing shell, kayak and bike. On Monday afternoon Outen came within a half mile of the Alaska shore before winds and currents started pushing her onto the rocks. Her support team decided it was safer to tow her into Adak's small boat harbor. On the row, she battled dangerous seas, and her boat, Happy Socks, capsized five times. She also fought the psychological battle of being alone. In the last few days, she almost hit a cargo ship after her radar failed, and battled cooling temperatures and increasing darkness. Outen also tweeted about whiteout fog and exhaustion-induced hallucinations in the final, treacherous miles to Adak, the newspaper reported. Along the way, she also got engaged to her longtime girlfriend back home during a satellite phone call from the middle of the ocean. But for Outen, who has a biology degree from Oxford University, seeing wildlife like albatross and whales made up for all the uncomfortable moments. According to the statement, the highlight was a shark circling her as she rowed. She initially wanted to row from Japan to Canada, but the punishing weather caused a course change to Alaska. Next spring, she plans to return to Adak with a teammate, Justin Curgvenen, to continue the kayak trip to mainland Alaska. She will then bike across Canada and North America before attempting a solo row across the Atlantic Ocean to the United Kingdom. ALAMY ASSOCIATED PRESS Sarah Outen celebrates after arriving into Adek, Alaska, on Monday. Outen, a 28-year-old British adventurer, became the first woman to row solo from Japan to Alaska. Outen's first attempt at the crossing ended in 2012 when she and another ocean rower had to be rescued near Japan after their boats were badly damaged in a tropical storm. Before that, Outen became the youngest person and the first woman to row alone across the Indian Ocean in 2009, going from Australia to Mauritius ASSOCIATED PRESS FOOTBALL PENN STATE The Penn State football team runs onto the field at Beaver Stadium before an NCAA college football game against UCC in State College, Pa. on Sept. 14. Penn State will gradually get back football scholarships taken away over the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal. NCAA announces restoration of Penn State scholarships ASSOCIATED PRESS HARRISBURG, Pa. — Penn State will gradually get back football scholarships taken away over the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal. The NCAA announced Tuesday, crediting the university for making significant improvements to its athletics programs. Five scholarships will be restored next year and 15 more will be phased in until the school reaches the limit of 85 in 2016-17, a season earlier than the school had agreed to, college sports' governing body said. The NCAA said the unanimous decision by its executive committee was based on the recommendation of former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, who has been serving as Penn State's athletics integrity monitor "This action provides an opportunity to recognize Penn State's significant momentum, while also providing additional opportunities for student-athletes," said Wake Forest University president Nathan Hatch, chair of the NCAA's Division I board of directors, which endorsed the decision. The penalties came amid heavy criticism of university leaders' response to complaints about Sandusky, Penn State and the NCAA agreed to the penalties by entering into a consent decree more than a year ago, shortly after Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse. They also require the school to pay a $60 million fine and serve a four-year ban on postseason play. The NCAA also eliminated 112 wins by the football program. Penn State president Rodney Erickson called the restoration of scholarships particularly welcome news for student-athletes who want to attend Penn State. "As we promised throughout this process, we are committed to improving all our policies, procedures and actions," Erickson said. The NCAA said it also may reduce the postseason play ban, depending on the university's future was positive in the face of difficul circumstances," Mitchell said. Mitchell said he recommended the restoration of scholarships, but the specific elements were decided by the NCAA and Big Ten Conference. Earlier this month, Mitchell issued a report on the first year of his service as monitor, crediting Penn State for notable progress that included implementation of 119 recommendations made last summer by former FBI director Louis Freeh, "It is the mechanism most directly targeted to students, student-athletes," Mitchell said. "I felt it was an appropriate place to provide the relief." "This action provides an opportunity to recognize Penn State's significant momentum." a conference call. He said the decision was particularly warranted by the actions of Erickson and other university leaders "in the face of considerable opposition within the Penn State community." "Over time, their actions led to a circumstance where it became clear to me that their response progress. Mitchell said it was premature to say which other sanctions might be changed. "This was a positive response to positive action, and as to the future, we'll have to make judgments." Mitchell told reporters in NATHAN HATCH Wake Forest University president The family of former coach Joe Paterno issued a statement calling the who directed the school's investigation into the scandal. decision welcome news. Paterno died from lung cancer in January 2012, weeks after the arrest of Sandusky on abuse charges and two administrators on allegations of a criminal cover-up. A lawsuit by his surviving family members and others against the NCAA is pending in county court near State College.

ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — Without as much as a run-scoring hit, the Philadelphia Phillies put up enough offense to send the Miami Marlins to a milestone loss. Darin Ruf and Kevin Frandsen drove in runs in the first inning, and the Phillies beat Miami 2-1 on Tuesday night to hand the Marlins their 100th loss of the season. Ruf drew a bases-loaded walk. Frandsen followed with an RBI groundout and that was all the offense that the Phillies would need. The Phillies are now 6-47 this season when scoring two runs or less, and two of those wins are against the Marlins. "It's more fun when we win," Phillies starter Zach Miner said. Michael Stutes (3-1) got the win by working a scorefifth inning in relief, and Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth for his 29th save in 36 chances. It's the second triple-digit-loss season in Marlins history, joining the 108-defeat year in 1998. Mike Redmond, the first-year Marlins manager, was a rookie on that team, playing in 37 games. "I don't think we're going to lose 100 games next year," Marlins left fielder Christian Yelich said. "No one thinks that way." Marlins starter Henderson Al- Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez (4-6) allowed five hits and struck out five in seven innings. Justin Ruggiano had two hits for Miami, one of them an RBI double where he was thrown out at third. It was the 44th time this season the Marlins (58-100) have scored less than two runs. They're 2-42 in those games. "I was trying to come up with something clever to say, when you lose your 100th game of the season," Redmond said. "All I could come up with is, at least it was by one run." Alvarez gave up a one-out double to Jimmy Rollins in the first, then walked the next three batters — Chase Utley, Domonic Brown and finally Ruf, the last two of those free passes coming on 3-2 pitches, and the one to Ruf allowing Rollins to score. Frandsen's ground ball brought in Utley, and Alvarez got another grounder to escape without more trouble. The Marlins answered in the second with a run off Miner. Giancarlo Stanton singled to start the inning, and scored on Ruggiano's double to left-center. But the relay from Brown to Rollins to Fredy Galvis caught Ruggiano trying to get to third, and the potential for a bigger inning ended there. "That was big at the time," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "A runner would have been in scoring position, that came in handy, Jimmy got the throw right down after the throw." BASEBALL Giambi's 2-run homer gives Indians 5-4 win ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — Pinch-hitter Jason Giambi belted a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a stunning 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead back in the AL wild-card race. red pack in the Giambi drove a 1-1 pitch from Addison Reed (5-4) deep into the lower deck in right field to prevent a potentially devastating loss for the Indians, who haven't been to the postseason since 2007. Giambi's heart-pounding shot bailed out controversial closer Chris Perez, who gave up two homers in the top of the ninth and nearly blew a game Cleveland had to have. As he rounded third base, the 42-year-old Giambi slowed down before being engulfed at the plate by his teammates as the Indians celebrated their 13th straight win over Chicago. Bryan Shaw (6-3) came in after Perez had nearly given away a game the Indians couldn't afford to lose. the Indians couldn't afford to lose. Giambi has been a steadying force all season for the Indians in the clubhouse, and the unquestioned Drama King on it. This was his 10th career walk-off homer, and his second pinch-hit, walk-off this season. On July 29, he became the oldest player to hit a walk-off homer, breaking a mark previously held by Hall of Famer Hank Aaron. Now, Giambi has become the Indians' elder statesman of swat. In the top of the ninth, Perez, who has walked a tightrope on and off the field all season, had to be pulled by Indians manager Terry Francona after failing to close out a 3-2 lead. Cleveland came in holding the second AL wild-card spot, one game ahead of Texas and one behind Tampa Bay. And with five games left, any loss can be devastating. On this night, Giambi saved Perez, the Indians —and maybe their season. With the Indians leading 3-2, Perez gave up a homer to Dayan Viciedo, a shot into the right-field seats that drew a groan from Cleveland fans the moment it left his bat. Perez struck out the next two hitters, but Alejandro De Aza connected on his next pitch, driving it over the wall in right-center. Perez stalked around the mound with his head down before giving up a single to Alexei Ramirez. That brought out Francona to a loud ovation and Perez, who has been a lightning rod of debate over the past two seasons, was booed loudly as he left the field. The Indians had taken a 3-2 lead in the seventh on All-Star Jason Kipnis' two-out RBI single and Michael Brantley's leadoff homer. With the Indians trailing by a run, and a scoreboard-watching crowd of 21,083 inside chilly Progressive Field getting nervous, Brantley tied it 2-2 with his 10th homer. Brantley pulled the first pitch from Santiago into the right-field seats, making him 13 of 29 (.448) with two homers and sevenRBIs during an eight-game hitting streak. Mike Aviles followed with a single and Michael Bourn sacrificed before White Sox manager Robin Ventura pulled starter Hector Santiago. Nick Swisher's fly ball to deep center sent Aviles to third and Kipnis, named to his first All-Star squared earlier this season, delivered his clutch hit, punctuating the single by flipping his bat in the direction of Chicago's dugout. Chicago had taken a 2-1 lead in the seventh on De Aza's RBI single off Cody Allen, who inherited a two-on, one-out jam from starter Ubaldo Jimenez. Cleveland's starter, who came in with a 1.77 ERA in the second half, gave up a one-out single to Gordon Beckham before walking No. 9 hitter Josh Phegley. Francona came out and took the ball from Jimenez, who received a standing ovation as he left the field. He allowed two runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings. Jimenez was in significant trouble in the fourth, when the White Sox tied it 1-1 on Avisail Garcia's sacrifice fly. Chicago threatened to score more when Viciedo doubled with two outs, sending Paul Konerko to third. But with two runners in scoring position, Jimenez retired Beckham on an easy grounder. Jimenez dodged another jam in the sixth. Conor Gillaspie led off with a double, but Jimenez retired Konerko on a grounder, struck Adam Dunn for the third time and got Garcia to bounce out. Brantley's RBI blooper to center gave the Indians a 1-0 lead in the second. 25 BRAK 23 Cleveland Indians designated hitter Jason Giambi, left, picks up manager Terry Francona after Giambi hit a two-run home run off Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Addison Reed in the ninth inning, Tuesday in Cleveland.

MLB CINCINNATI — Daniel Murphy hit a three-run homer off Mike Leake, whose long streak of scoreless innings got shattered early, and the New York Mets beat Cincinnati 4-2 on Tuesday night, a costly setback to the Reds' hopes of a second straight NL Central title. The Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates clinched playoff spots on Monday night, but hope to chase down the first-place St. Louis Cardinals with closing surges.

Niese kept lefies Joey Votto and Jay Bruce in check again, holding them to a combined 0 for 6 with four strikeouts. Niese allowed two runs and eight in seven innings. Vic Black faced three batters in the ninth, getting his first career save on his second try. Eric Young Jr. had a single and a double, scored a run and stole his 42nd base for the Mets, who have won eight of 12. It was a stunning outing for Leake, who has been the Reds' most effective starter lately. The right-hander allowed a total of two runs while winning his last three starts and getting his career-high 14th win. Leake gave up two singles in the first inning before escaping. Mike Baxter led off the second with a double and scored on Tovar's single. The right-hander got an assist when Bruce threw Tovar out at the plate as he tried to score from second base on Niese's single to right field, but it wasn't enough. Murphy's three-run homer on the 10th pitch of his at-bat made it 4-0 with two outs. When David Wright followed with a single — the Mets' eighth hit — manager Dusty Baker made the change. Niese also got off to a rough start, giving up singles to Shin-Soo Choo and Brandon Phillips on his first two pitches of the game.

A As a lifelong fan of Mo's crossstown rival, the New York Mets, I have seen Rivera's dominance firsthand. Rivera has been an ambassador of class since the day he stepped on the mound. No one is more professional than this long time Yankees' closer. Not only is Mariano the all-time saves leader with 651, but he also has a career ERA of 2.30. He is a 13-time all-star and a 5-time World Series champion with a .70 career postseason ERA and 42 postseason saves (both MLB records). The man is a winner. He gets the job done. There is no one else in the history of baseball that I would count on to get three outs more than the Sandman. He has evoked fear in hitters for 19 long years. When the Yanks are win- By Ben Felderstein bfelderstein@kansan.com Rivera is on an extensive retirement tour this season. He has received gifts and admiration from teams around the league. These gifts include a chair made of broken bats from the Minnesota Twins, a framed scorecard from his first appearance against the Chicago White Sox, paintings and murals galore, and a mounted fire hose nozzle from the Mets. Along with these gifts, teams have donated thousands of dollars to The Mariano Rivera Foundation. ring in the ninth inning and you hear the beginning of Metallicas "Enter Sandman," it's almost certain that the game is over. KU will ever wear the number 42. When the number was retired league-wide for Jackie Robinson, Mo was allowed to keep it. My question is, if Robinson had worn a different number during his time in the Majors, would we be retiring number 42 at the end of this season for another reason? The crazy thing about Rivera is that he's experienced abundant success in his career with only one pitch: the cutter. Even though the cutter has been around since the 50s, Mo has truly perfected it and made it famous. Rivera has broken hundreds of bats in his career from the inward breaking movement of his cutter. Lefties see it as a fastball out of his hand until it cuts in and down on them at the last second. Every hitter knows exactly what's coming, and after 19 years, they still can't handle it. games. As much as I love watching the Yankees lose, there is something about Mo closing games that is so special. We are at the end of one of the greatest careers in baseball history. No one player has ever had an impact on the league the way Mariano has. He is the last Major League Baseball player that Rivera's last home game is Sept. 26 against the Rays. Mark your calendars for what's bound to be one of the most emotional nights in sports. There won't be a dry eye in the house. The long Mariano Rivera novel is reaching its end and I, for one, am very sad. It's not going to be the same next year without Mo closing the door at the end of Yankees All I have to say is, "Thank you, Mariano. You have given me years of memories and truly demonstrated what it means to be a professional. At the end of the day, when stats are forgotten, your class and respect for the game of baseball will always be remembered. Exit Sandman. - Edited by Kayla Overbey This week in athletics ay.

Volume 126 Issue 20 kansan.com Wednesday, September 25, 2013 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS SPORTS COMMENTARY Weis plays big games after bye By Mike Vernon mvernon@kansan.com The first bye week in Charlie Weis' coaching career preluded "the game of the century." His first as a Jayhawk came before the "Road Kill Ahead" game. GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAM The Jayhawks were 1-3 heading to Manhattan last year, but had a bye week to prepare for Bill Snyder's undefeated Wildcats. Weis brought his tricks to the show, and it worked — for one half. The jayhawks forced a three-and- out to start the game against Kansas State, before marching on a 12-play, 83-yard touchdown drive to give Kansas a 7-0 lead. Kansas State immediately responded for a score, and sure enough, the trickery game. On fourth down with eight yards to go, Weis ran a fake punt, and it worked. This was a game the Jayhawks weren't even supposed to compete in. Wei's trickery inspired his team to a competitive first half. The Jayhawks went into the locker room trailing 21-14. Later, on the same possession, Weis called a fake field goal on fourth and two, and the Jayhawks scored three plays later. When you're playing a team of this caliber, you've got to be willing to take some risks," Weis said after the game. "We did two in a drive, and it gives you a touchdown. You're up 14-7, and now you're hanging around with the team believing you have a chance." His team had a chance, but it remained slim. The Jayhawks lost 56-16. As a coach, Weis doesn't have a stellar record coming off bye weeks. His teams are 3-5, to be exact. That being said, Weis doesn't have a great record as a coach at 38-39, so that's no huge surprise. he does, however, have experience with big games following bye weeks — as big as games can get. With Kansas riding momentum this bye week, before they begin conference play next Saturday against Texas Tech, it's fair to say this is a big, big game for the Jayhawks. Weis' first game after a week off as a head coach carried as much weight as a game can have. His No. 9 Notre Dame team played No. 1 USC in South Bend, Ind. This was Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush against Brady Quinn. America watched one of the best college football games ever played. Notre Dame had a 31-28 lead with less than two minutes remaining in the game. USC was sacked, and had a famous fourth and eighth, 61-yard completion to Dwane Jarret. Leinart ran in a one-yard touchdown, known as "The Bush Push," after Heisman winner Reggie Bush pushed his fellow Heisman teammate, Leinart, into the end zone. VOLLEYBALL PAGE 9 It can only be one of, if not the, worst memories in Weis' coaching career. Michael Wilbon, now with ESPN, wrote in the Washington Post, "Yes, Southern Cal-Notre Dame was indeed the Game of the Century, and probably the 20th century, too." Kansas-Texas Tech won't have the hype or the implications of that other game. But it's still a huge opportunity for a Kansas team that's been starved of a Big 12 win since 2010.

The first competition of the season is in early October. MISSISSIPPI Assistant Coach LeAnna Kemp instructs the women in the boat. The early morning practices leave a beautiful fog along the banks of the Kansas River. MACKENZIE The rowing team prepare their boats for a two hour practice that requires them to arrive at six in the morning. GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN LONDON BOAT CLUB Jayhawk rowers head back to the Boathouse after an early morning practice. NICK CHADBOURNE nchadourne@kansan.com At 7 a.m. on the Kansas River at Burcham Park, the morning sun peeked through the dark blue sky. It was the first morning practice of the year for the Kansas rowing team. You couldn't tell by looking, but under the tired facade of the rows and coaches was excitement for a new season. It's a fresh slate for the experienced squad that came just short of a bid to the NCAA Championships last spring. The team's first event, Head of the Oklahoma, is coming up in early October. While the players ran for warm- While the players ups, the three-person coaching staff huddled together, nursing coffees and preparing for the morning ahead. Sept. 5 marked the beginning of the 16th season for coach Rob Catloth - the only Kansas rowing coach in the program's history. Sophomore Maggie Duncan of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, said at the team's first workout that the focus is to win Conference USA and get an NCAA Championship bid. The rowers finished their warm-ups and braced for two hours of rowing. When practice ended at 9 a.m., the team had accomplished more than some people do in a full day. After the rowers filled the boats and strapped their shoes, the boats of singles and fours began going their separate ways across the river. Though eight-person boat races are considered to be the main event on race day, those are for another day. Catloth's 16 years of experience coaching KU rowing is almost intangible. Coaching on the water is no easy task — Catloth and his assistants must watch over at least a dozen boats strewn across two miles of water every practice. Because coaches can't get in the super lightweight rowing boats with players to help guide them, they use megaphones and their own boats to communicate with the rowers. Within minutes of leaving the dock, Catloth saw a boat of four who appeared to be shaking off summer rain. "What's the rhythm that we're trying to work with?" Catloth said through the megaphone to almost every boat he drove up to in the first hour of practice. He put down the megaphone and worked it over: leg drive, swing, arm pulls — "rowing with length," as he said. It would be his mantra for the first hour of practice. "We're using small boats for technical work," Caltha said. "It magnifies the technical issues. You can't get away with stuff you can in eights." The team will spend all of the fall session working on technique before the competitive season in the spring, he said. the boats were filled with unfamiliar partner combinations, but the team was experienced. Nearly three-quarters of each boat was made up of returners from last year. The combination of unfamiliarity and rust from summer break led Catloth to work with two boats for 10 to 15 minutes each. "I would say a good two to three weeks and the physical fitness is back, even just a week in the rowing technique has kind of snapped back in," said senior coxswain Caty Clements, of Lamar, Mo. As the coxswain, Clements is the captain and vocal leader of her boat. During races she will row in the middle of her eight-person boat and act as its quarterback, barking out commands and into the boat's "He comes up with these weird little analogies that everyone think is weird, but we all laugh." LIZ SCHERER Wamego senior rhythm is correct. IV Reminders of rhythm s lowed down as the boats rowed straighter and with more power. With an hour on the were going. The team loves Catloth's ability to dole out tough love while keeping things light. They said when he drives his boat up to them, they know he's not going to leave without imparting encouragement. Sometimes he'll lighten the mood in practice by making them laugh while coaching. On a couple of occasions he chatted with team members rowing by, asking about classes and how their families were doing. water to build a rhythm, the players looked encouraged when Catloth drove close to observe. Catloth parted one boat with the words of a zen master: "Let the boat carry you. Let the boat do what it's designed to do." "He comes up with these weird little analogies that everyone thinks is weird, but we all laugh," said senior Liz Scherer of Wamego. "He has funny analogies for rowing and we don't know where he comes up with them." As the boats began retreating to shore, Catloth made sure to drive by the ones that showed improvement. "Looks a lot better than over the summer," he tells one rower. At 9 a.m., when the boats docked and practice ended, the day was just starting for the rowers. A full set of classes, work and study were ahead of them. Sophomore Tessa Scott of De Soto said the team does 20 hours of rowing per week, on top of the 15 hours of classes and 15 hours per week at her job. As the players left the post-practice huddle and headed into the locker room, everybody had a look of satisfaction on their face. They made it through the first early morning practice of the year.

[Image of a drone flying in space] Activists meet with commission to discuss drones UNMANNED AIRCRAFTS CALEB SISK csisk@kansan.com A local coalition met with the city commission of Lawrence this Tuesday to discuss guidelines on proper drone use in residential areas. Ben Jones, a local activist, helped to organize "Kansans for Responsible Drone Use" in an attempt to protect certain rights that he believes are being infringed upon. "There has been an erosion of civil liberties over the past few years with the Patriot Act and actions taken by the NSA, so it never hurts to have guidelines in place," Jones said. The coalition first organized a use of drones until the state legislature made a ruling on appropriate guidelines. The city commission focused on this point when making a decision. year ago, when a few like-minded citizens decided that they disagreed with the institution of domestic drone use by the FAA. The group is highly diverse in terms of political affiliation and therefore "We determined that the city has no plans to purchase or acquire any drones in the near future. In the event that we decided to purchase or acquire any drone capability, we would draft policy statements concerning the appropriate use and any limitations on their implementation in the city of Lawrence," Mayor Michael Dever said. Dever and the city commission are not comfortable with waiting on the state to issue an edict ASSOCIATED PRESS NASA's Global Hawk 871 departs from the runway at Nasa's Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Va., on Sept. 3.

BEN JONES Local activist their opinions offer an accurate sample of the community at law "We work with groups across the political spectrum to make sure that this new technology does not erode civil liberties," Jones said. The resolution drafted by the group was composed of three main stances, the first of which called for local government to put off making on this issue since the state legislature is not currently working on or discussing it. With this in mind the ruling was that, at this time, it is premature to be writing policies on something that hasn't been considered at length. The other two stances outlined in the resolution concerned the use of weaponized drones and surveillance drones by law enforcement officials. Tarik Khatib, the chief of police in Lawrence, worked in tandem with Ben Jones when it came to outlining the resolution and informed his group just how the police department would make use of drones. "It is our obligation to inform our community and decision makers about the pros and cons of certain law enforcement tools," Khatib said. Khatib assured the coalition that law enforcement officials would not use these drones for daily surveillance and would employ them only in life threatening situations. Jones and his coalition expressed a fervent desire to not be misinterpreted as wanting a ban on drones and their use in all situations. The group rather wants to advocate for guidelines that dictate the proper use of these tools so they do not infringe on any civil liberties. Jones agrees that there are ways in which drones can do good things for the people. Mark Ewing, associate professor of aerospace engineering, is the director of the flight research laboratory at the University. Ewing outlined how drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, can be used for surveillance after natural disasters and can even increase agricultural production through a better understanding of farming techniques. "There are valid privacy concerns with the drones, but the UAVs that we fly here at KU are focused on remote sensing and can be put to great use," Ewing said. Having asserted that the group does not advocate for a blanket ban on drones use, Jones believes that support for the cause will continue to grow. Having already received backing from eight other Lawrence community organizations, the coalition is well on its way to accomplishing its aims. "Citizens have been on the defensive with these concerns in the past, but this resolution gives them a chance to be proactive and protect their civil liberties before they are violated, rather than after," Jones said.

According to AT&T, the DAS system will provide a boost and enhance current wireless networks to 4G LTE speeds by installing hundreds of mini antennas in prominent places on campus. The system will be installed in three phases with the first phase completion date being set in the spring of 2014, with the total completion date being set for 2015. The new network will only be accessible to AT&T customers in its initial stages. People with mobile devices from different carriers will only be able to access the network once the project is completed. "Initially the DAS will be brought on-air for AT&T customers only," said Alex Dufek, University alumnus and senior PR manager at AT&T. "AT&T is installing neutral-host DAS on campus, meaning the DAS is built so that all carriers are able to join the DAS, if they would like to do so." Currently this form of technology is used in large stadiums to provide a boost to networks. According to AT&T, a similar system will be installed in areas that include Allen Fieldhouse, the residence halis, Memorial Stadium, the academic buildings and parts of West Campus. A DAS system works by using small antennas that are dispersed and connect to a network rather than using a direct link between a mobile device and a service tower. According to AT&T, factors such as crowd density, geography and network traffic are some of the limiting factors to cellphone service. DAS technology is used in areas such as football and baseball stadiums to lessen the load on network systems which can become overloaded by the number of people trying to access it, according to AT&T. Mini antennas divide and direct cellphone activity which makes it easier for customers to access their wireless network.

Hodgson, who calls herself a "lifelong lahwak" is running as a democrat for the Kansas House of Representatives seat in District 46, which includes the University. She has worked for the Federal Election Commission in Washington, D.C., as a speechwriter for former Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius and as a communications director for various state agencies. In addition, she owns a small campaign con- PENGUIN LANGUAGE TEACHER suiting business called Prairie Fire Consulting. "Working in both politics and government has taught me what the process of governing looks like, and I've had the opportunity to see the ways in which public policy impacts the lives of real people." Hodgson said. "I think it's always important to keep real people in mind when you are making public policy." Hodgson also said she has witnessed the impact state budget cuts have had on students. "As a university we have had to cut faculty, we have deferred maintenance of our buildings, and ultimately all of those impacts trickle down and affect students and the quality of education they receive," she said, "and I think it is of the utmost importance that our students go out into the world really prepared to compete on a national, if not a global, scale. We are really doing a disfavor to Kansas students by cutting funding to education." Hodgson's top three priorities are "Students should be vocal about the things that they care about, and should do all they can to make sure their voices are heard..." ABBIE HODGSON Political candidate known Hodgson since she was an undergraduate student. Although he cannot endorse any particular candidate, he spoke highly of Hodgson. rebuilding the economy through job creation, restoring funding to education and reforming tax policies. "I think in the last three years under Governor Brownback we "She's very well-prepared to run for office by her previous background working in politics and government service and by her understanding of campaigns, especially the communication part, again." Rowland said. "She has a really strong sense of service, so those are all good things, I think, that prepare her." "She's an extraordinarily gifted person, and very hard working." Rowland said. "She's also a fine teacher." Hodgson is in the process of obtaining a doctorate degree. She currently holds a bachelor's degree in political science and a master's degree in communications. have seen a radical shift in the tax policy, and I think we are overburdening the lower class and the middle class," she said. "We need to make sure that our tax policy is fair and that everyone shares in the responsibility of funding state programs and services." Additionally, Hodgson said that if elected, she would be a passionate advocate for University students and faculty. Edited by Jessica Mitchell Hodgson said whether students are interested in politics or not, she would encourage them to be aware of the impact of politics on the state and local levels. "Students should be vocal about the things that they care about, and should do all that they can to make sure their voices are heard in the public sphere," she said. Robert Rowland, professor and director of graduate studies for the communications department, has HEALTH MCKENNA HARFORD Campaign gives students healthy tips and tools mharford@kansan.com KU Student Health Services (SHS) is launching a new health campaign tomorrow called "BEAK Healthy" aimed at helping students to become aware of the small ways they can make healthier choices. The campaign comes with the addition of a new utility vehicle, which SHS affectionately calls Beakers. "We wanted a way to go to students because we know that when we have events on campus we are very stationary," said Heidi Garcia, the wellness manager at Student Health Services. "The utility vehicle, Beakers, allows us to be mobile; wherever on campus we find students we can go to them." - The idea for the campaign came from the desire to reach out to students and provide the best information and wellness tips. "We wanted something that we could use a lot of different taglines or messaging with, so we came up with the BEak Healthy," Garcia said. "We wanted something not only to provide tips and tools about health and wellness, but we also wanted [the campaign] to be something that was very easily recognizable, so it's consistent." According to Garcia, it is important for this campaign to reach students because it is a new way of making information available. "We are at the forefront. It's exciting because we have a new way of delivering messages, and we want students to be excited about different things and not always get information the same way." Garcia said. The campaign concentrates on six areas of wellness: alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, nutrition and weight management, sexual health, and stress management. spawned from the SHS's desire to make wellness a priority for students. Random Acts of Kindness Mondays, Wellness Wednesdays and Condom Sense Fridays are the three main programs beginning this semester. While BEak Healthy is the main campaign, other initiatives have "We know you're college students,we just want to help you make some healthy choices." HEIDI GARCIA SHS wellness manager "BEak Healthy is kind of an umbrella and then we can tag on whatever health message we want to," Garcia said. "We are leading in this kind of health education and delivery system. This is definitely a program that we will keep building on." Each initiative focuses on providing students with tools, as well as information. At each event, SHS wants students to leave with something that will remind them to make safe choices. They made kits for student use to distribute at events, like firstaid kits and safe sex kits—which contains a condom, instructions on proper condom use, and contact information for the Watkins Health Center and STI testing. In order to help tailor the campaign to students, the programs will be mostly mobile and direct. SHS also wanted to brand BEak Healthy so that students all over campus would be able to recognize Beakers and his message. To do so they created Beakers, which will be painted KU red and blue "We know you're college students, we just want to help you make some healthy choices. They're just little things that you can do." Garcia said. "We want to be fun, engaging, interactive so that students want to come up to us, they want to get information that we have, and that it's in a fun way by using Beakers," Garcia said. and have a yellow beak, along with taglines and a Twitter page, @ BEak_Healthy. Because of the broad nature of the campaign, SHS is hoping to expand BEak Healthy and build on the initiatives. "The possibilities are endless because we have that BEak Healthy umbrella that allows use to attach whatever health message we need to get out," Garcia said. "We will always be trying to change it up so that there's new messages and there's new items, so that students want to still continue to check us out."

Being wasted is no excuse for wastefulness I've never been one for trash talk, but I think littering is deplorable. On a scale of one to ten—one being not holding the door open for someone in Budig and ten being a hit-and-run on Ohio Street—littering is right up there with driving away after a "love tap." We, as a collective group of college students, consumers, Americans and humans, like to throw our used stuff on the ground and forget about it. ground and tough. It's more than a little gross and hugely detrimental to the environment. I've heard many excuses for littering, like "it's going to end up on the ground in a landfill anyway," or "litter gives people jobs," but by far, my favorite excuse/justification is "I only litter when I'm drunk." To me, that's like saying "I'm only an arsonist when I'm in a bad mood" — an altered state of being does not negate the consequences of an individual's actions. Being trashed isn't an excuse to trash. ittered with connections between the state of being intoxicated and solid waste. For example, being wasted, trashed, and messed up, are all ways of describing inebriation. I've often wondered about the social meaning behind this overlap. According to the theory of linguistic relativity, the language of a society can construct the perceptions and preoccupations of a population. Essentially, language shapes a group's worldview. To me, the overlapping vocabulary between drinking and littering is linked to an overall negative societal view of both activities. Which leads me to my next question: if our society understands littering to be negative, then why do we do it? The American vernacular is In order to understand the reasons why people toss gum wrappers out of car windows, one must know the psychology behind littering. Although scientific studies on motivators for littering are not conclusive, the theories are intriguing and logical. Some By Gabby Murnan gmurnan@kansan.com psychologists believe disenfranchised individuals litter to feel powerful. Others argue that littering is the result of a generation with few responsibilities; younger people litter because they know that someone will clean up after them. But littering isn't a new phenomenon. We've been throwing crud on the ground since the invention of crud. And "crud throwing" is only amplified when alcohol enters the equation: instead of psychological causes, one must consider biological causes as well. it will come as no surprise that alcohol consumption impairs the body and mind. Alcohol decreases activity in the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain responsible for rational thinking and decision-making. Therefore, a person who is normally environmentally conscious is less likely to comprehend the negative impacts of tossing an empty beer bottle on the ground. Additionally, inebriated non-litterers may be more likely to neglect trash receptacles because alcohol impacts serotonin levels, the chemical that signals a person's mood to his or her brain. Changes in serotonin levels cause personality shifts, leading to uncharacteristic littering by even the most eco-friendly people. So how can someone who has "had a few" fight back against fluctuating serotonin levels and an impaired prefrontal cortex? I have a few suggestions. First, know where you stand. If you walk into a bar silently affirming your love of the environment and sanitation, you are more likely to walk out feeling the same way. Second, know your facilities. This may sound a bit nerdy, but locate trash and recycling receptacles before you start drinking. The first thing on your brain when you walk into The Hawk should be finding a trashcan for later use. And third, standards for littering should be set by University students as a whole. It's time we approached littering Buddy System style. Instead of letting it slide when you see your friend toss a Solo cup, call him out on it. Friends don't let friends throw crud on the ground. The bottom line is this: whether an individual is drunk or not, littering is never acceptable because it disturbs the ecology of the impacted area and causes public health risks by decreasing sanitation. So next Friday night, when you realize your beer can is empty, take a stand against trashiness and find a waste receptacle, because being messed up is not an excuse to make a mess. CAMPUS FINANCES Gabby Murnan is a sophomore majoring in environmental studies from Pittsburg. Student Senate unqualified inexperienced with finance Is Student Senate really fit to manage the approximately $880 each of us pays to set foot on campus? I really don't think so. Sometimes, Student Senate reminds me of professional athletes. There's a "sudden wealth" effect. As a college athlete, one day, you barely have money for laundry because of the abusive NCAA; the next day, you get a $5 million signing bonus from the NBA. As a student, one day, you make some Student Senate election promises; the next day, you help a $24 million dollar budget. Can Student Senate ever effectively manage the $24 million dollars that the entire student body is forced to pay? I have some doubts, because money management is not a skill developed overnight. Both athletes and governments can be awful with their money. No one is shocked knowing 78 percent of NFL players, two years after retiring, go bankrupt. We might elect the worst money handlers (in the history of money handling) for their infectious enthusiasm and strong leadership, but not for their financial competencies. Our voting reasoning may have been as strong as "That candidate is better looking." The way athletes and governments earn income defies conventional wealth accumulation. Traditionally, income increases over time as money management expertise grows. Athletes experience the exact opposite: With no money management expertise, earning potential is the highest near the beginning of careers. Governments, on the other hand, just take money in the form of taxation or fees. Government "income" is not correlated at all to money management ability. By Chris Ouyang couyang@kansan.com Officials, after election, suddenly become managers, on a federal level, of billions of dollars. Both athlete and government wealth are NOT a function of business acumen. You might say, "Well Chris, Student Senate doesn't just go broke like pro athletes." That's true, because athlete income is a function of value creation. When they aren't able to produce results, their income reflects that. Student Senate, however, doesn't need to create value in order to collect fees. If Obama's phrase, "You didn't build that," is true sometimes, the phrase "You didn't earn that" is even truer for Student Senate. I admit that governance itself is completely necessary. Private markets cannot handle public goods, like the environment and its protection. But Student Senate isn't providing public goods i.e. national defense, and our fees aren't really going to any regulatory role either. Then where is all the money going, and why is Student Senate handling all this money to begin with? Student Senate's legislative processes and volumes of rules prevent an immediate athlete-like catastrophe. Some of our elected have the competencies to create a vision for this massive budget too. But before you get caught up in how impressive it is—and it is terribly impressive—for students to run this budget, I strongly urge you to consider if it's proper at all. Let's start with the "where": The majority of the money goes to student organizations and campus services. Really, they're just special interest groups. If you look at the breakdown of Student Senate spending, students that don't go to the rec still pay $150 a year for it. Students pay over $30 a year to student groups they never join. Did you know that you're paying so my student group can rent a room for free in the Burge Union? The current approach relies on students not going to the rec, not riding the buses, not renting rooms at the Burge, and not joining student organizations, because to do so would overwhelm the system. The status quo is to take equally from all students and give to the few that "take advantage of their opportunities". opportunity. Senate Student cannot fairly or efficiently allocate student fees. Is there any solution? If there are to be fees at all, students should have direct input, beyond an arduous, pseudo-accessible legislative process. Why not take 100 fee dollars per student and let each student decide where to allocate them on Enroll & Pay? I could put all $100 toward a student organization I'm passionate about, instead of the rec, which I haven't been to in a year. Doesn't that make more sense? Athletes, despite their terrible money management, still manage their own money because it's their money. But government is different because it's our money. There's the fear that, without controlled appropriation by Student Senate, some services would cease to exist. What? A service that students don't want to fund ceases to exist? That makes perfect sense to me. I'm all for it. Chris Ouyang is a senior studying petroleum engineering and economics from Overland Park. HEALTH Save lives: wash your filthy hands Today I gave someone the stink-eye so intensely that it gave me a migraine. He fleed from the stall, afraid of what he left there, speed-walked right past the sink and out the door. The guy after him ran his hands under the water for less than a second before pumping furiously on the paper towel dispenser for a small rug's worth of hand-drying. It could be something that only plagues the men's restroom, but I somehow doubt it. I can't say with any certainty that I know the hand-washing habits of those cootie-packed dungeons. I do feel comfortable saying that it can't be a 100 percent success rate, so don't think you're off the hook. I'm not going to pad this language: if you don't wash your hands then you're murdering children and old people. Not everyone is graced with a rock-hard immune system and one day, when your equally selfish children abandon you in a nursing home, you'll be the exact same way. If I were to fondle myself and then walk around touching people, things, and my food before I ate it, I'd be tackled and committed to an institution. The only real difference between that and not washing your hands is that millions practice one of them each day and think nothing of it. What's generally considered to be a petty gripe becomes a big deal the second that you shake hands with a child or a senior citizen and straight up kill them with your infectious digits. I won't throw facts or numbers from some source that no one will check at you. I'm not interested in convincing you here and now. I'm confident that if the past twenty years of posters, scoldings and the dead bodies of children at your feet haven't persuaded you, then I certainly won't in a dozen By Wil Kenney wkenney@kansan.com paragraphs. So instead, I'll just command you to do it. I don't care what nutso health magazine told you in 2004 that hand washing isn't effective. I don't care that you think your body is a flawless temple of cleanliness and, by the way, how dare a measly columnist question your antibodies? I don't care that you're late for the bus - maybe don't eat as much red meat next time. Of course, you might believe that one fellow in your biology lab that claims it strengthens your immune system. You know, the same guy still wearing novelty t-shirts he bought in middle school who rides a Razor scooter to class? And while I'm on bathroom etiquette: stop taking the urinal adjacent to mine and then audibly panting, I've got a shy bladder to begin with. To be completely honest, it's really damn disrespectful to everyone around you. It proves to me that you value 30 seconds of your time over the health of your friends, family and the hundreds of strangers you encounter each and every day. It's disgusting, selfish and spits in the face of everyone who's considerate enough to do such a simple task. Jesus, man, wash your hands. It's not difficult. It's not a particularly extraordinary demand. It's thirty seconds that could honestly save a life or at the very least slow down the flu. So do it and quit killing the children. Because that's the demographic I lump you into when you scoot on past the soap and water. CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK It's officially fall: what treats do you NOT want to see in "pumpkin spice" flavor?

Lawrence, KS 86045 (785) 814-6640 M - F 9 - 8 Sat 9:60pm 'Nothing Was The Same'has less tears,more variety CASH MONEY MUSIC For many hardcore hip-hop fans, rapper Aubrey "Drake" Graham is the scariest thing to hit the genre since Vanilla Ice. He's seen as a crusader in a long, flowing cape of tender emotion — possibly made of pink cashmere and real butterfly wings — sent from a faraway planet called Canada to mercilessly suck the "gangsta" out of gangsta rap. In other words, if Kendrick Lamar is the Coca-Cola of rap right now, Drake is the Diet Sierra Mist. He's the marshmallowy Hostess Sno Ball that got dropped into the Nestle Crunch box. Some might even say the average storm drain in August flows harder than the Cash Money Records signee. And yet, even the harshest critics would be hard-pressed to deny that the man churns out some ridiculously catchy songs. Even before Tuesday's release of his newest album, "Nothing Was The Same," Drake had already surpassed Jay-Z as the "rapper with the most No. 1s in the history of the R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart," according to a 2012 article on Bill- jams are more dynamic than the typical singsong rap ballads expected from Drake. Both feature talented singers in Jhene Aiko and Sampha, respectively, who inject some real soulfulness. In fact, it's impressive that Drake chose to give such lesser-known artists a chance rather than reaching for the standard Lloyd or Rihanna R&B hook. Jay-Z does make an appearance on "Pound Cake / Paris Morton Music 2," however, presumably just so he could drop the line, "Look at my neck, I got a karat cake." By Duncan McHenry dmchenry@kansan.com board's website. While Drake decidedly lacks a street-smart resume (refer to his history as an actor on Nickelodeon's "Degrassi," his laughable "beef" with Common, the list goes on), he admirably never shies away from his past. In fact, that willingness to appear vulnerable is a big reason why Drake's fans love him so much. For better or for worse, he's not afraid to follow the line, "Just drop down and get ya' eagle on" with "We can stare up at the stars and put The Beatles on." Edited by Emma McElhaney "Nothing Was The Same," while essentially a more cohesive version of his last album "Take Care," thankfully cuts back on the Kleenex and teddy bear factor. Standout tracks such as "Wu-Tang Forever," "Started From the Bottom" and "All Me" are upbeat and highlight Drake's unique, higher-pitched voice that's more of a Yung Berg groan than a Lil' Boosie snarl. With "Nothing Was The Same," Drake and his production team have created a multifaceted collection of songs in which piano chords are as common as 808 drums. To the vehement Drake haters: the album is worth a full listen. It might even make you forget about Jimmy Brooks — at least temporarily. Even "From Time" and "Too Much," the album's clear-cut slow INTERNATIONAL BELFAST, Northern Ireland — An anti-war theater troupe traveling from Northern Ireland to Bosnia says four of its members were arrested at a Belfast airport after security officials found bullets inside a costume.

Loewenstein has painted murals across Midwestern America, including several in Lawrence. kklein@kansan.com KAITLYN KLEIN With nine murals in Lawrence and more than 75 other projects across the Midwest, he could be called the Mid-America mural man. But Lawrence resident Dave Loewenstein, from Evanston, Ill., would simply call himself an artist who is able to live off his work, which includes more than just painting murals. He came to Lawrence to be a graduate art student at the University, but left after a year because he wasn't finding what he was looking for in the program. "I was interested in having my art reach a wider audience than what I was making in the studio at school," Loewenstein said. "I was also interested in collaboration and making art that had relevance for regular folks, not necessarily people who go to art galleries or museums" He found his own way to make his art more accessible when he created his first mural in Lawrence called the Sunflower Cycle. That mural was painted over, but it was the mural that started Loewenstein down the path of community murals in Lawrence and across the Midwest. Susan Earle, one of the curators at the Spencer Museum of Art, worked with Loewenstein in 2007 on a project commissioned by the museum. said. "He had a great vision for how to create a mural painting in Lawrence that would commemorate Douglas." The mural serves as both a commemorative piece and a place of learning. "It gives an opportunity to learn about something in a whole different way." Earle said. "And it might not be a way that people are used to learning about something." instead of focusing only on Aaron Douglas, Loewenstein incorporated several important artists from Kansas as well as added some natural imagery. "The name of it is interesting too: Pollinators," Earle said. "It's a wonderful kind of metaphor." Earle said the mural, located in the parking lot used by the Lawrence Farmers' Market, incorporates the farmers who pollinate the community, and extends that metaphor to the artists of Kansas who pollinated the country with their art. "He is really good at what he does and he has a national reputation," Earle said. Loewenstein continues to focus on community-based projects Earle was working on a national touring exhibit on Aaron Douglas, an influential artist from Topeka. "... instead of an artist doing it on his or her own, or even asking a few people, I go to places and I work with local people for a long time." She said the museum called on local artists to create a permanent outdoor exhibit to honor Douglas, and Loewenstein was the best artist who came forward. "He has been very inspired by the work of Aaron Douglas," Earle DAVE LOEWENSTEIN Mural artist when he isn't writing, sketching or pursuing his own interests. we call them community based projects," he said. "It means that instead of an artist doing it on his or her own, or even asking a few people, I go to places and I work with local people for a long time." "I think w h a t character-izes the kind of murals I do from others is Loewenstein said he holds open meetings with local people to discuss issues important to the community, and the people interested work with him to design and paint the mural. About 20 people usually work on the design team, sketching or writing ideas for Loewenstein to incorporate in the mural illustration. In the early stages, everyone in the community is welcome to come paint a portion of the mural. Loenstein and his apprentices then finish the painting the details. "My hope is that they do something more than just beautification." Loewenstein said. He said he hopes the murals become a place of memory where people are inspired to remember or tell a story or have an argument. "It also helps to give the neighborhood or community a sense of identity beyond just the local sports team," Loewenstein said. "There's more to us than just those things." Karl Janssen, art director and advertising manager for the University Press of Kansas, worked as a mural assistant for Loewenstein's project called "East Lawrence Waltz." Janssen said projects like Loewenstein's bring people together and allows the community to focus on what is important to them. "One of the unique things about murals is that nobody owns them," Janssen said. He said murals allow art to be accessible to more people than just those who would enter a gallery and community projects build pride. That positivity is reflected in the murals that Loewenstein helps create, lanssen said. "His work influence is broader than what we see on the walls," Janssen said. Loewenstein is currently in Hastings, Neb., working on a mural that will complete his Mid-America mural project. Another work that is a little closer to home for University students, called "Seeds," located at 9th and Mississippi, is currently being restored.

Well, it seems to depend on the drink. Most coffee shops in Lawrence offer the classic pumpkin spice latte, made popular by Starbucks after its debut almost a decade ago. The pumpkin spice craze has picked up significantly in recent years. Since August 2012, #pumpkinspice has been tweeted more than 29,000 times. Fall has begun to greet Lawrence, and coffee shops welcome it with open arms. Fall-inspired lattes and other espresso drinks are back once again, but where are the best places to go for one? MEGHAN KETCHAM mketcham@kansan.com Seasonal espresso drinks like Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte begin appearing in the fall. Most Lawrence coffee shops offer some version of this popular drink, or similar fall-inspired beverages. Coffee shops around Lawrence But Lattes Fall try to incorporate the pumpkin flavor in different ways. At Henry's, baristas continually experiment with flavors to create original drinks. The Muddy Pumpkin is perhaps the most popular fall latte at Henry's, and the baristas say that it is due to the way they present pumpkin spice in a different way. "It's a good blend of our espresso, chai, and pumpkin chai. It's our seasonal take on dirty chai." Henry's barista Katy Clagett said. "I definitely like La Prima Tazza the best," said senior Breea Little from Andover. "I like La Prima the most because I can just take my cup up there and fill it, and the atmosphere is really nice." For some, it isn't just the taste that makes a good latte; the atmosphere at the coffee shop has an effect.

OrderUp has been active for approximately 15 months and provides Lawrence residents and students with the option of ordering food online, as well as alerting them on local specials. "We pride ourselves on being the only online ordering provider in town," said Trevor Anderson, owner of OrderUp Lawrence. "We offer special deals to students and even have an app that makes it very easy as well." OrderUp currently offers online ordering for 11 Lawrence eateries, including student favorites such as Pizza Shuttle, Wheat State Pizza and Bigg's Barbecue. "I think OrderUp exposes our menu to people that otherwise wouldn't see it," said Doug Holiday, owner of Biggs. "Also, we get a lot of takeout business and a large segment of those people prefer to order online." Students that have utilized the new service agree that OrderUp is effective at getting the word out on local deals and increasing the efficiency of orders placed from home. "I follow [OrderUp] on Twitter, so I just scroll through my feed and "We pride ourselves on being the only online ordering provider in town." TREVOR ANDERSON OrderUp Lawrence owner see many different deals that are available at that time," said Schuyler Johnson, a senior from Topeka. "It's pretty convenient and makes ordering easier too." Online food ordering has become a much bigger market over the last decade, with many expecting it to surpass picking up the phone in the near future. In 2004, only 10 percent of Americans placed an order for food online, with that number growing to 33 percent by 2011, according to the OrderUp website. Lawrence seems to fit this trend, as Anderson says that OrderUp sales in Lawrence alone have increased 300 percent over the last three months. "Everything can be bought online and food is one of the last markets to get into that," said Anderson. "It's fragmented, ever changing, and takes a team of local people to make it work, which is why it's late." Lawrence is currently one of 26 markets that OrderUp operates in, the vast majority of these markets being college towns. Anderson thinks this is exactly the type of environment that OrderUp thrives in. "For us, it definitely helps to have the tight knit community of a college town," he said. "Lawrence is a great market for OrderUp to be in and a great thing for students to utilize to save time and money."

BEN LIPQWITZ/KANSAN TELEVISION BARRY MORRIS FOY ENTERTAINMENT GROUP The fifth season of Fox's hit series "Glee" premieres tonight. This season will feature several changes in the cast. 'Gleeks' look forward to fifth season after cliffhanger CALLIE BYRNES cbyrnes@kansan.com If you've been keeping up with "Glee," you know there's a lot going on at McKinley High. In the last season alone we've covered catfishing, an almost-school shooting, an almost-wedding, a real wedding and a possible proposal. Let's not forget that half the cast graduated and moved on to broader pastures, most notably New York. Just when it feels like they've covered everything, season five just might get crazier after it premieres tonight at 8 p.m. Last season ended with an unexpected wedding for Will and Emma. With the status of this on-again-off-again couple finally locked into place, the standing of another power couple came into question as the episode ended with Blaine holding a ring box behind his back. If you're wondering about any big changes, you just have to look at the cast to see that McKinley is preparing to take a new direction. According to MTV News, Demi Lovato will be joining the cast for a short period of time to play a possible love-interest for Santana in New York. Adam Lambert has also nabbed a role on the show, though it is unclear what his role will be. As for the rest of the cast, Heather Morris, better known as the dumbblond-turned-genius Brittany S. Pierce, won't be returning for this season. Other actors that were bumped off the list include Amber Riley, Mark Salling, Harry Shum, Jr., and Dianna Agron. Perhaps the most notable absence will be that of Finn Hudson, played by Cory Monteith. After Monteith's unexpected death in July, fans have speculated how they're going to deal with his character on the show. The third episode of the season, titled "The Quarterback," will be a tribute episode to Monteith as McKinley mourns Finn's death. That leaves us with a lot of questions left for this season to answer. Is there hope for Kurt and Blaine? Will the crew in New York make ends meet? How are they going to deal with Finn's death? And that, my fellow Gleeks, is why we can't stop watching. Edited by Jessica Mitchell Avoid 'Breaking Bad' spoilers on Twitter with Netflix creation INNOVATION KAITLYN HILGERS khiligers@kansan.com Someone at Netflix must have read my article. Remember that whiny piece I wrote about spoilers? Well, a solution has finally been created. It's called Spoiler Foiler. Spoiler Foiler, found at spoiler-foiler.com, was created by Netflix in preparation for the series finale of "Breaking Bad." It was made for the people who are unable to watch the series finale on Sunday night, but still want to use Twitter. The premise is simple: you go to the page, log in with your Twitter username and password, and it takes you to a makeshift Twitter feed. It is still your feed, but the tweets that contain key words related to Because Netflix picked out general words like "breaking" to yield the best results, some tweets will be blocked that have absolutely nothing to do with the show (for example, some of my breaking news tweets have been blocked). But hey, better safe than sorry, right? And because the web page only emulates your Twitter feed, a user still won't have access to the full site. If you want to view your direct messages, you'll have to log in to the the show, such as "breaking," "bad" or "white," will not have the actual tweet. These suspected spoilers are blacked out and say "SPOILER WARNING!"! You have the option to click on the tweet in order to reveal it if you're confident that it's not a spoiler. Edited by Sarah Kramer real Twitter. There are ways of fixing your actual Twitter feed so as to block the "Breaking Bad" tweets, but it would require you going in and changing your own personal Twitter filters, which sounds like time you could be spending catching up on "Breaking Bad." As of right now, Spoiler Foiler was only created to block "Breaking Bad" tweets, but hopefully it might catch on for other shows. Take advantage of this tool for avoiding spoilers this Sunday, but don't plan on relying on it forever. If enough time goes by, someone will probably spoil it for you and, remember: there's always Facebook. CLIP & SAVE! KANSAN COUPONS HELPING YOU MAINTAIN YOUR STUDENT BUDGET!

Salazar scored the first goal for the Jayhawks in the 33rd minute. It was Salazar's second goal of her freshman season. From Olympics to bench, Salazar returns to midfield HEATHER NELSON hnelson@kansan.com Liana Salazar trembled as nervous excitement consumed her body. She noticed the physical build of Team USA: Abby Wambach, Alex Morgan and Shannon Boxx warming up on the opposite side of the field. They were much bigger and stronger than the young Colombian team. Wembley Stadium was filled to capacity — millions of viewers would watch from their televisions. "U-S-A" chants echoed across the arena, but the women's Colombian national team hoped to stun the Americans in the 2012 Olympics. At that time, Liana believed shed return to the University of Kansas an Olympian well equipped for her sophomore season. "I remember when I was a child, [my dream was] to be able to play for my national team," Salazar said. "Whether it was the South American National Tournament or whatever." The Colombian team lost 3-0 to the U.S. women, but Salazar remained optimistic for the team's future. The Colombian women have made consistent progress since Salazar started playing. Despite her country's minimal success, Salazar said playing on the world stage created an opportunity for the world to pay attention to her home country. "The world has all their eyes on you and your team. It was amazing!" Salazar said. COLUMBIAN COMMITMENT At the age of 13, Salazar's career jump started. Salazar said a friend, who had a contact for the city team, encouraged her to try out. When Salazar played for her high school team, she practiced twice a week for two hours. The city team demanded more. She said she became overwhelmed with the commitment; two and a half hours of practice everyday, including the weekends. "School was my first and my everything," Salazar said. "I went to the practice, and I was like, 'No, I can't do this,' because I had school and then practice and then homework." Three months after she quit the team, Salazar received a call from the coach. The coach invited her to play in an upcoming tournament against a club team, she said. The same coach later recruited her to play on the Under-17 National team. FALL OF AN OLYMPIAN Following Salazar's graduation from high school, she took a year off to focus on playing soccer. At that time, she prepared for the Under-20 Women's World Cup. Isabella Echeverri, one of Salazar's teammates from the U-20 team, said even though the two weren't friends at first because of a long history of competition, she learned a lot from her style of play. "She is determined to win all the time, she is a really quick and technical player as well as a good teammate [on and off] the field," Echeverri said. Salazar is always looking for new ways to learn and improve. She heard that coming to the U.S. could give her that opportunity. "When I came to visit KU it just felt right. The campus and the town were great and I really like Coach Francis. It was a perfect fit for me," Salazar said. the Colombian midfielder started all 21 contests her freshman year at the University. She scored goals in decisive matches against top opponents. In a near upset over Texas A&M in the Big 12 Tournament, Salazar scored twice — in regulation and penalty kicks. All these she accomplished as a freshman. Salazar did not know English. Salazar said almost every class she took her freshman year was English, which caused her to fall behind in other classes for her Marketing major. She planned to take classes the summer between her freshman and scphomore year. But more important things got in the way. When the opportunity to play for the Olympics arose, Salazar accepted the challenge. This opportunity promised her from taking summer classes. One week before the University's soccer season started, Salazar found out she was ineligible to play her sophomore season. "I was like, 'Oh my God.' It was a shock," Salazar said. her downtime. She tested her teammates physicality at practices. "She was cheering from outside, which was good. But it was definitely not good for us not having her." Kallmaier said. Salazar remained positive. Her mother and brother encouraged her. She improved her skills during She made goals for herself. And she embraced the opportunity to support her teammates in a new, different way. An athlete primed from competition in the Olympic games would now sit on the bench for the season. "It was hard at the beginning." Salazar said. "I was in the Olympic games and I was in really good now sit on the order for the season. Sophomore defender Hanna Kallmaier, Salazar's teammate and roommate, said the team missed having her on the field. shape. I "She is determined to win all the time, she is a really quick and technical player..." ISABELLA ECHEVERRI U-20 teammate shape. I thought, "This year is going to be one of my best years." But then, it was completely different." Instead, Salazar focused on fine-tuning her fundamentals. She also spent time catching up with school. biggest feat: academics. BACK ON THE FIELD Salazar took 51 credits over the fall, spring and summer semesters. In August, Salazar returned to the field with her team. This year she hoped to score more goals than she had her freshman year. She wanted to work on being mentally tough, whether the team was winning or losing. And Salazar had overcome her obliges hard to resist. "It feels great to be back," Salazar said. "It's been a process because I didn't play for one year. You have to change your mentality — you have to play quick, you have to move, you have to run, you have to be strong. I'm getting better." Salazar came back with a vengeance. Salazar scored a game-winning penalty in an exhibition game at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. The redshirt sophomore has three goals and two assists in the eleven games played so far this season. Conference play starts on Oct. 4 at Iowa State. Salazar said she hoped shed be in better shape to face the conference teams. The experiences Salazar faced challenged her, and she learned from them. She will never regret her decision to go to the Olympics, regardless of her ineligibility at the University. "I believe that things happen for a reason. I don't know if for some magic reason?" Salazar said. "So maybe it wasn't my time to play. Maybe next year [isn't] my time to play? It was maybe the opportunity to catch up with school and have a different impact on my team."

FILE PHOTO/KANSAN FILE PHOTO/KANSAN STELLA LIANG sliang@kansan.com Momentum for the Kansas soccer team is shifting in a positive direction as the team heads to California Friday for a match against the Santa Clara Broncos (4-3-1). Kansas (5-4-1) swept its two opponents last weekend after having a three-game losing streak. Coach Mark Francis said he hopes his team will build on last weekend's success. we definitely made some improvements in a lot of the areas we've been working on, so that's encouraging." Francis said. "We have to continue to look to get better every day." Kansas faces a tough opponent in Santa Clara. Despite their three losses, the Broncos are ranked ninth in the first RPI poll of the season put out by the NCAA this week. They have earned their ranking by playing a tough schedule. They have already faced four other teams in the top 15: No. 3 Virginia, No. 4 North Carolina, No. 6 Stanford and No. 14 Maryland. Santa Clara's only victory in those matches was against Maryland. Santa Clara is coming off a 3-2 loss in double overtime to Stanford on Sept. 22. In the 108th minute of the game, Stanford scored the winning goal. For the season, senior midfielder Julia Johnston is leading the team with five goals. Close behind is senior forward Morgan Marlborough with four. Their goalkeeper, sophomore Andi Tostanoski, has a save percentage of 81 percent with 42 saves this season. Kansas, which is ranked 100 in the RPI poll, knows that Santa Clara will pose a challenge. "Santa Clara is a very good team," Francis said. "We are going to have to play well to compete, and I think we are definitely capable of that." Junior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud played a big role in the team's recent success, and the conference took notice. Stroud was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week after making three saves on Sept. 20 and shutting out Illinois State on Sept. 22 with seven saves. She is currently the conference leader in saves with 44. "It's really exciting for KU to get recognized," Stroud said. "We've worked really hard this past weekend and something that we as a defense were really focusing on was getting those shutouts." Kansas closes out its nonconference portion of the schedule Friday before turning its attention to the Big 12. The team has played well at times, and not well at others. The Jayhawks have shut out teams and have been blown out. "Overall I would say we have been a little bit inconsistent," Francis said. "I think the nonconference has been good. We have played some good teams, and its been a learning experience for us." Francis said specifically the Arizona State game, where Kansas lost 4-0, brought to light some defensive weaknesses that could be fixed. Other losses, he said, were just frustrating where his team dominated the play, but couldn't convert opportunities. Kansas will face Santa Clara on the road Friday at 9 p.m. For the first time this season, the Jayhawks will not play a second game over the weekend. The first conference game is against Iowa State on Oct.4.

"We can be the best," Wiggins said. "The main goal for all of us is to win the national championship." There is more anticipation among the fans than any season in Bill Self's career at Kansas, as far as he can tell, he said in his press conference before the players spoke on Wednesday afternoon. "This team hasn't proven itself at all, but still the unknown of having a good recruiting class, I think, has everybody excited." Self said. Self said the recruiting class was already one of the best he had brought in, but Wiggins became the icing on the cake when he announced he would be a jayhawk. The ceiling is high, and Wiggins doesn't have to look far to find motivation to reach college basketball's highest achievement. He watched as his older brother, Nick, made the Final Four with Wichita State last season. "I got to see how much joy and happiness it brought him. So I want to be a part of that too." Wiggins said. "I want to make it to the Final Four." But it's still September, and for now Wiggins is focused on perfecting his game and enjoying college life. Despite the hype that has surrounded Wiggins, he still feels like he can appreciate being a college student. "Ive never experienced nothing like it," Wiggins said. "I've been able to enjoy it. We have practice and weights and stuff like that, but after that it's college. It's known to be the best years of a lot of people's lives." There is pressure on Wiggins from all angles, including from himself, but he welcomes it and uses it to make himself a better player. "There's pressure, but for me it's motivating pressure," Wiggins said. "People give me big shoes to fill, and I'm just doing my best to fill them." He's been compared to the greatest players in the game right now. But Burrigins said he hasn't had any conversations with players like LeBron James or Kevin Durant, but for now it's enough that they know his name. "They know of me," Wiggins said. "That's a blessing. The best players in the world know about you." All of the pressure and expectations could seem overwhelming, but Wiggins credits his family for keeping it from getting to him. No matter what happens this season he knows where they stand. "Throughout this year when I have bad games or good games, people are going to love me, people are going to hate me, but my family is going to be there regardless," Wiggins said. As a freshman, Wiggins already knows how to handle the media. He said that sometimes he enjoys it, but other times it's not much fun. At one point he was asked what he knew about the tradition and history surrounding Kansas basketball, and whether he planned on his name being mentioned among the best to ever play at Allen Fieldhouse. "Hopefully when it's all said and done I will be," Wiggins responded. "Before the year is done I'll get all the history." — Edited by Hannah Barling WIGGINS 22 Freshman Andrew Wiggins walks back to join his teammates on the bench during Kansas Basketball Media Day, Wiggins was the No.1 recruit for 2013.

Every player received extended playing time as the reserves got a chance to contribute. Redshirt freshman setter Maggie Anderson and redshirt freshman Janae Hall, in particular, played pivotal roles in the match. Coach Ray Bechard said he enjoyed the opportunity to put different lineups out there and give his players experience against a quality team. "It was good to get the entire roster in there," Bechard said. "It's good to see all those guys work together." Facing one of the tallest and most physical teams it will play all season, Kansas fell in five sets to the Italian U-23 national team in an exhibition match at Horejsi Family Athletics Center on Wednesday. Featuring multiple players that stood at 6'2" or taller, the Italians The two teams traded leads throughout the first set as no team held a lead more than three points. Down 12-10 in the set, Kansas only allowed six more points the rest of the way as they took the set 21-18. Freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery's five kills led the way with redshirt senior Caroline larmoc and junior outside hitter Sara McClinton chipping in four kills each. The defense held the Italians to a .257 hitting percentage and quieted them late in the set. At the beginning of the second set, theItalians跑出 to an 8-4 lead. Two kills by McClinton and kills by Hall and Jarmoc erased the early deficit. Tied at 17-17, the italians reeled off the next three points to take a 20-17 lead. The Jayhawks fought off two set points with a kill by senior outside hitter Chelsea Al- hit the ball with high velocity as they pounded 55 kills in the match. Valentia Diouf, $ 67^{\prime \prime} $ , led the Italian team with 19 kills. "We don't see a lot of 6'7" in our conference," Bechard said. "Not just 6'7" but also a good player with a heavy arm." pers and a block by McClinton and Hall, but the Italians won a back-and-forth point to take the set 21-19. With strong serving from Anderson and back-to-back-to-back blocks, the layhawks sprinted to a 7-0 lead to open the fourth set. Albers and Hall had four blocks each in the set as the Italian's hitting percentage was .094 for the set while their overall percentage dipped to .228. Kansas did not commit an error in the set. Using a majority of their second unit, the Jayhawks fell behind 3-13 early in the set and couldn't recover. Senior Amy Wehrs, senior Kara Wehrs, freshman outside hitter Emma Hanson and Anderson all saw action in the set. After posting 15 kills in each of the first two sets, the Jayhawks had just seven in the third set to go along with five errors. Tied 8-8 in the fifth and decisive set, the Italians took five of the next six points to open up a lead and eventually take the set 15-11 and win the match. The Jayhawks had eight errors in the set to just six The Italians also defeated Kansas State on Tuesday in five sets. kills. Brianne Riley set the tone on defense with 17 digs while McClinton and junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers reached double-digit kills in limited time with 10 and 11, respectively. Hall had a team-high six blocks, and Anderson stepped in to contribute nine assists, five digs and a service ace. Anderson said she benefitted from the extra playing time. "I got a lot of confidence in myself," Anderson said. "When I go out there and serve the way I did tonight, it boosts my confidence." Beachard said the Italianes were the equivalent of a high-level Division I volleyball team. He noted they play similar to Texas and Pennsylvania State—two traditional powerhouses in collegiate volleyball.

Rocnation.com/sports THE MORNING BREW Lines blur between hip-hop and sports Iswear sports and music are so synonymous. "Cause we wanna be them, and they wanna be us." Those are Drake's lyrics from his 2010 song "Thank Me Now." In case you can't tell, hip-hop culture and sports are becoming thoroughly fused. Most recently, you could have caught the rapper and hip-hop icon live on ESPN's SportsCenter making an appearance and promoting the sports video game FIFA 14. Drake's appearance on ESPN is tiny in comparison to the events of the past year where we have seen sports and hip-hop clash - though it was cool to see "October's Very Own" score some goals to give a few fans a free copy of FIFA. By Jackson Long jlong@kansan.com While Drake has been dabbling in the sporting world, two of the most prominent figures in their fields have been crossing the lines with a much more robust approach. Enter #TheMoneyTeam. Floyd "Money" Mayweather, creator of the group/brand "The Money Team," - for those of you living under a rock - won by majority decision against Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez in the highest revenue payer-view boxing match of all time. For all the hype, Mayweather's internal confidence/arrogance/alpha dog made sure his entry was nothing short of a million-dollar performance. wttn rapper Lil' Wayne performing "A Milli" on his right and world icon and Money team member Justin Bieber on his left, Mayweather took the ring in fashion fit for a king. He is king, though. The world champion has entered 45 fights and was victorious in each of them. Now he wants to roll into fight 46 with Miley Cyrus. No twerking, please. Now cross over from sports icon to hip-hop icon Jay-Z. "Hova" has spent the last few years solidifying himself as more of a businessman than artist. Though he himself claims "Best Rapper Alive" in his songs, it is an injustice to the diversity of his professional portfolio. The basketball video game NBA 2K13 has Jay-Z's fingerprints all over it. From soundtrack to intro, there was a full production impact from Jay-Z. He also has a small percentage of ownership of the Brooklyn Nets. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. In his 2013 song titled "Crown," Jay-Z touts his new ventures as a sports agent and his immediate success with some of sports' top names. "Scott Boras, you over baby. Robinson Cano, you coming with me." Scott Boras, of course, being the New York Yankee star's former agent before Cano switched over to Jay-Z's new sports management branch, Roc Nation Sports. KU tion, not a mixture, for (not, not a mixture, for you chemistry nerds. The proof is in the pudding, though. Because it can absolutely be argued that Jay-Z "can make a Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can." There are more rap lyrics in this article than cited notations in all of my research papers combined. But why listen to me try to convince you? You should probably just pay attention to Money and HOV. This week in athletics Edited by Madison Schultz Thursday NO SCHEDULED EVENTS Friday Scocer Santa Clara 9 p.m. Santa Clara, Calif.

The Jayhawks played at least one team from every power conference (other than the Big 12) in addition to the Southland Conference champions from last season. The focus now turns to the Big 12, a conference that has five potential NCAA Tournament teams. The Jayhawks expect big things after going 12-4 in the conference last season with just one home loss that came at the hands of eventual NCAA Champion Texas. The other losses came at Texas, Iowa State and Bavlor. TCU comes to Lawrence clinging to an eight-game winning streak, and, like Kansas, the Horned Frogs have swept their last two weekend tournaments. TCU won the TCU Nike/Molten Invitational on Sept. 13-14 and earned the Spartan Spiketacular title last weekend. The Horned Frogs led the Big 12 with a .274 hitting percentage. Senior middle blocker Yvonne Igodan and junior right side hitter Stephanie Holland rank 2nd and 6th in the Big 12, respectively, in the category. The Jayhawks won both matches against the Horned Frogs in 2012, losing just one set overall. In the home match, redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc recorded a career high with 23 kills with an impressive .613 hitting percentage as the Jayhawks won 25-21, 25-20, 20-25, 25-19. Kansas swept the match in Fort Worth, Texas, 25-18, 25-14, 25-17. Nine different Kansas players recorded a kill in the contest. The Horned Frogs went 15-14 overall last season and 4-12 in the Big 12. In the preseason, they were picked to tie for 7th place in the conference with Texas Tech. With nine volleyball teams in the Big 12 (Oklahma State doesn't have a team), all teams will play each other at home and on the road. The team with the best record wins the regular season championship; there is no tournament championship following the regular season. Texas won the conference outright last year and suffered just one loss in the conference-at Iowa State. Texas and Iowa State, as of Sept. 25, are the only Big 12 teams in the Top 25 of the American Volleyball Coaches Association poll. The Longhorns stand at No. 5 while the Cyclones hang on at No. 25. Kansas State and Oklahoma both received votes to make the poll. — Edited by Jessica Mitchell KANSANCLASSIFIEDS HOME SALE housing announcements M A E R I O N T for sale ... jobs HAWKCHALK.COM 785-864-4358 ID JOBS Laborer Wanted Must have good drive record Must be prompt and reliable Experience a plus, but not a must Please apply in person at: 5030 Bob Billings Pkwy, Suite A Lawrence, KS 66049 P/time night/evenings monitor Lawrence Community Shelter, 20+ hrs per week.

Even the stadium he recruits to has a track around the field. But he has more playing time to offer to potential recruits than any coach in the country, and he hasn't been shy about pointing that out. After all, it was Weis who told recruits to look at that "pile of crap" from last year's 1-11 team while selling them on the opportunity to play early on in their career. "If you can't play here, where can you play?" he said at Big 12 Media days in July. Junior college transfer Marquel Combs is about to find the answer to that question. The defensive lineman and No. 1 junior college recruit in the country had scholarship offers from Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Texas A&M, just to name a few. But he said he wanted to make an immediate impact and rebuild a program, and what place gave him a better opportunity to do this than Kansas? But the difference in talent between junior college football and Division 1 football—even at a place like Kansas—is massive, and Combs seemed to learn that the hard way after failing to crack the starting lineup and reportedly preparing to sit out this season while taking a redshirt, beginning his two years of eligibility next fall. We don't yet know, and may never know, if Combs' inability to get on the field led to his decision to transfer, but you don't need to take many mental leaps to come to that conclusion. Regardless, he is now free to play at any school of his choosing outside the Big 12. Of course, that will be after sitting out this season, which he would have done anyway had he decided to redshirt and stay in Lawrence. Confused yet? Charlie Weis may have been throwing his players under the bus with his blunt question to recruits, but he was telling the truth. It's hard to imagine Combs doing any better right now at Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas State, or any of the other dozens of schools that offered him scholarships. If you can't play here,where can you play? Edited by Sarah Kramer Marquel Combs will find out soon enough, and something tells me he won't like the answer.

PAGE 8 CUBIC FEET TEMP COMP QUARTER ROOF S DRIVE RAILWAY PLEASE PAGE 3 OUTDOOR EXPANSION READY TO PLAY Lawrence receives grant to renovate local playground William Patterson pushes his son on a swing at Edgewood Park. Patterson says the playground equipment at Edgewood Park is less up-to-date than equipment at other parks in Lawrence. JAMES HOYT/KANSAN MACKENZIE CLARK mclark@kansan.com For the second year in a row, Lawrence received the $20,000 Let's Play City Construction Grant from the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group and national nonprofit organization KaBOOM! .Lawrence is one of 29 U.S. cities selected to receive the grant. The grant will go toward renovations of playground equipment at Edgewood Park, said Roger Steinbrock, marketing supervisor for the Lawrence Parks and Recreation department. "['The foundation] wants to see active engagement from the community, so basically we'll have public meetings with neighborhoods and other people that are wanting to be involved," Steinbrock said. "They really want to get buy-in from the community so they may take better care of it." Steinbrock said the department is still in the process of coordinating public meetings to accomplish this goal, but he hopes to have dates set by late October or early November. "I think Lawrence is very strong with communication between the citizens and the municipality," Steinbrock said. William Patterson, Lawrence resident, and his 3-year-old son visit various parks around the city. Pat terson said he would be interested in attending the public meetings to discuss what changes will be made. "I think [the park] is pretty decent as it stands," Patterson said. "It could use some renovations for sure, and I'm not sure how much the budget that is allotted will allow the park to change." Patterson said some of the other parks have more "up-to-date, abstract" equipment, which his son enjoys. He would also like to see some art that reflects the University, perhaps with some student input. Patterson's son said he likes some things he likes at Edgewood Park are the swings, the slides, things to climb on and things that have bright colors. He also would like more tables in the park because he enjoys drawing there. None of the parks in Lawrence are "really notable", Patterson said. "We've got quantity over quality, in my opinion" he said. the pari- "This play equipment has been here since I've lived in Lawrence, and that's been all my life," Frazier said. Donald Frazier, 19-year-old Lawrence resident, frequents Edgewood Park and said he believes it is a good place for families because of the very little violence and thinks that the grant will be very good for the park. Frazier said it would be nice to have two basketball hoops, instead only one, and believes it would attract more people to the park. He has also heard from friends and family members that they would like to see new equipment like monkey bars, which he himself would use to exercise. Mark Hecker, assistant director for the Lawrence Parks and Recreation department, said the grant will double the amount of money available to renovate Edgewood Park. "The playground will probably cost $40,000 to $50,000 and without this grant, we wouldn't be able to do that," he said. Hecker said the current equipment has been there for about 30 years and "it's just worn-out." He said the goal is to finish construction on the new playground by spring of 2014. Last year, the grant went toward a new playground at John Taylor Park in North Lawrence. Steinbrock said in order to receive this grant a city must first be approved as a Playful City USA. This year, 217 communities nationwide received this designation; those cities are then eligible to apply for grants. — Edited by Chas Strobel CAMPUS MILK CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Student group raises funds to help pay for cancer treatments The faces of members light up as they brainstorm ideas for their float in the Homecoming parade.

Only $50,000 is available to give to student organizations this school year — a third the size of what previous student senates have had. "We have less money to give," said Tetwiler, a senior from Paola. "I say 'bad,' because I feel bad for every single one of our student groups that Last week, a bill was passed to reduce general student organization funding in half. Every student organization will now be given $100, rather than $200, in funding for general use. "Everything is tight," Tetwiler said. "Enrollment is down, retention is down, and our activity fee, which allows for this fund, "...we have to follow our rules and regulations to be as responsible with the amount we have." expects us to ease their financial burden. We can't [fund] to the level we wish, but we have to follow our rules and regulations to be as responsible with the amount we have."

The word flashes across television screens and newspaper headlines as the federal government nears its Oct.1 deadline for the federal budget without a resolution in hand. Threats of government shutdown loom over the country before the day ends. So what really is this "crisis?" It's politics. as usual What is keeping Congress from passing a continuing resolution? Currently, Republicans control the House of Representatives while Democrats control the Senate and the White House. Divided, the government is caught in a stalemate. "The larger thing to understand is that it's a fight over how large [of a] government you want and how much spending services the government is going to do," said Mark Joslyn, associate professor of political science with focuses on public opinion and American politics. "Republicans want to limit spending because they are worried about the debt and deficit and they don't like large government. Democrats are on the opposite side of that. So one side will scream, 'crisis' but the other side will say, 'It's not so bad, we can still spend. It's not such a big deal'." Each year, the government has to pass 12 appropriations bills providing new budget plans for the various federal agencies. When new appropriation bills aren't possible due to stalemate, Congress then has to pass continuing resolutions, which maintain the current level of funding for government agencies. Obamacare "Republicans, particularly in the House, have found it extraordorarily politically popular with their constituents to say they voted to repeal Obamacare", political science Professor Burdett Loomis said. Loomis specializes in Congress and American politics as well as state legislatures and interest groups. The House Republicans attached the conditions of defunding Obamacare to the continuing resolutions bill and Democrats are refusing to accept such a resolution. While both parties may be at fault for their obstinacy, Loomis points out that the Republicans are fighting what has already been passed into law in 2010. "You can argue about it but we've had the policy debates and we are implementing it." Loomis said. "Most of Obamacare is written into law so they can't defund it. Most of Obamacare doesn't require appropriations of money anyways. They [Republicans] are the ones that are forcing this crisis with ostensible desire to defund Obamacare because of their constituents." “It's really hard for the congressional leaders because they are under a lot of pressure to get things done,” Loomis said. “You keep negotiating, negotiation, negotiating, and only just to keep the government going. There's nothing productive go on.” As a result, Congress is stuck in its negotiations, with the Senate and the House tossing each other's version of the budget back and forth without arriving at a real policy conclusion. While history has proven that Congress can negotiate when it comes down to the final minutes, there just may not be enough time to finalize the procedures before the Oct. 1 deadline. If time runs out, the government will shut down. Government shutdown The U.S. has experienced 17 government shutdowns since the 1970s, with the last one occurring in 1996 under President Bill Clinton. Government shutdown means "non-essential" government functions will cease as federal employees will be furledough. "Services just stop." Joslyn said. "Things like military - necessary and important elements - will stay in function, but lots of government employees will just not get checks. They'll shut down altogether." Based on previous shutdowns, people can expect many basic services to stop. Museums and national parks will close; the U.S. will stop granting visas and passports; many regulatory agencies, such as those regarding the environment and finances, will shut down and stop taking on new cases. Essential government functions concerning national security and protection of life and property, as well as most entitlement programs won't be affected. Only when the government passes a budget bill will the government starts up again. The budget ceiling, the real crisis Assuming Congress will resolve the shutdown - a bigger problem lies ahead - and that is the debt ceiling, which limits how much the government can borrow. With increasing national debt, Congress has to agree whether to raise the debt ceiling or let the government default on its loan "If the debt ceiling is not increased, if Congress can't agree on doing that, then that will be extraordinarily serious," Loomis said. "It means the United States won't be able to pay all of its obligations, and so people around the world would look at us and say, 'you are not able to pay your debts,' even though we are perfectly capable if we raise the debt ceiling, and that could set off much larger repercussions." Immediately, stock market values would go down and interest rates would rise,meaning investments would lose value significantly. The country has experienced shutdowns before and has been able to overcome it, despite inconveniences. However,the U.S.has never defaulted on its loans before,and the situation could prove disastrous to the economy on several levels. What led to this? Because of the structure of Congress, all issues that are even slightly conflictual will be magnified. After Republicans captured the majority in the House of Representatives, the debate over the debt ceiling has become increasingly political. "It's only been the last three or four years they have really taken the debt ceiling hostage because previously, almost everybody agreed it had to be raised," Loomis said. "Now you've got 70 or 80 Republican Tea Party folks who simply don't agree with that." Tea Party members ardently against increased government spending have used the debt ceiling as leverage to get political victories, like the sequestration in 2011, which implemented federal budget cuts across the board. Will this be resolved? "I think Republicans will reconcile and the president will make changes. They won't defund the whole program," Joslyn said. "The last time the government shut down, it was many a time ago and Republicans tended to receive more of the blame from voters and congressional representatives. If the government shuts down, they don't want to receive the blame and in the next election cycle, get kicked out of office." "Government shutdown, really, that is modest, but the idea of not raising the debt ceiling is truly horrific," Loomis said. "It's a really serious thing. We should actually engage in a policy where we don't have to have a debate over this. It should essentially be automatic because if you [don't] raise it, the damage it causes would be so great." Will this be resolved? The pressure from the public will force one side to yield. Edited by Casey Hutchins "I feel that it could actually become a crisis at some point but I don't think politicians in office will let it go that far as to risk their office." Congress has always been able to reach some sort of an agreement, and even if the government experiences a temporary shutdown, the budget ceiling must be raised, Loomis said. What do you think of the current budget crisis? "I'm kind of annoyed with the whole situation so I'm going to let it play out. I think it's just stupid how Obama, the Senate and the House, nobody can get along."

FT. 60°F 5' DRIVE ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN Westar could be raising its rates by up to $3 per month for its residential customers. Westar Energy customers anticipate potential rate increase LCODY KIUPER ckuiper@kansan.com Westar Energy residential customers could see a $3 per month increase on their electric bills if its proposal is accepted by the Kansas Corporation Commission. The rate increase, along with increases for other industrial customers and businesses, will amount to $30.7 million for Westar, which it says it needs to meet more stringent environmental protection requirements at its LaCynge coal plant. PAGE 3 Westar's plan initially called for a "shift" in rates between residential customers and large industrial customers, in which residential rates would have increased $7.50 per month and industrial rates would have been lowered. After negotiations with the Citizens Utility Rates Board and other interest groups, a new agreement was reached under which there will be no rate shifting. David Springe, Consumer Counsel for CURB, says the groups' initial disagreement stemmed from their different understandings of where the money should come from. "Once you figure out how much money the utility company is allowed to collect in rates, the sec The two eventually settled on the $30.7 million rate increase contract, under which residential customers will pay a total of $18 million and small businesses will pay $12.7 million, which is a far cry from Westar's original proposal of $85 million in increases. ond piece of the argument is from whom are they going to collect it," he said. "That's where we got into these big battles. They may think it should come more from residential and less from industrial, but I think it should be the other way around." "If you look at the settlement from that standpoint and what the potential downside was, we thought that we got a pretty good settlement and one that is pretty reasonable for residential customers," Springe said. million more and cities will have a $2.1 million increase to cover the reduction. Greg Greenwood, senior vice president of strategy for Westar, said the rate reduction for Occidental was made to help keep the large company's pricing competitive, which would keep their business and jobs in Kansas. "I in order to keep that company viable and all their jobs in the state, we had to find a way to reduce their cost but still have that contract price provide net benefits for all our customers, and we feel we found a way to do that," Greenwood said. Another consideration that had to be addressed in negotiations was a separate Westar contract with the Occidental Chemical Plant in Wichita. As a result of the new contract, which has been approved by the Kansas Corporation Commission, Occidental received a $9.7 million rate reduction. In addition to the $30.7 million increase on residents and small businesses, medium-sized businesses will see an increase of $3.9 million, large industrial customers will pay $3.2 Brandon Kuzara, a senior from Colorado Springs, Colo., and a Weststar customer, said he doesn't have concerns about the rate increase, regardless of the reasons behind it. "I really don't think $3 is too big of an increase," Kuzara said. "I mean, I live with two other guys, so that's an extra dollar per person for their services which really isn't a big deal to me." The final settlement on the rate increase was presented to the Kansas Corporation Commission on Thursday, and it will be decided on no later than Dec. 2. - Edited by Chas Strobel CANCER FROM PAGE 1 social media. The group said it started this initiative to help others struggling through one of the most difficult times of their life. "And because cancer sucks," said Allie Kite, a sophomore from Overland Park and vice president of the group. The success of the STAC chapter at the University of Nebraska inspired Haley Mead, a sophomore from Lincoln, Neb. and president of the new organization, to bring the group to Lawrence. Two of Mead's friends, Jeremy Payne and Brendon Henning, founded STAC at Nebraska last August. At the beginning of the school year, their group now has grown to 70 members. The group chapter plans to fundraise year-round, and hosted its first fundraiser, a lemonade stand, on Aug. 24 that raised $62.06. Mead said it is continuously brainstorming creative fundraising ideas, also plans to borrow ideas from two of Nebraska's STAC's most successful events: a hot chocolate stand and a formal banquet. Kite said that through its first fundraiser, STAC aimed to collect money and increase its visibility and recognition on campus. "I really hope people see what we're doing, and get excited about it and want to join," Angie Bass, a sophomore from Swanton, Neb., and treasurer of Mead said if the fundraisers this semester continue to expand, the group hopes to be able to sponsor a patient as soon as next semester. the group, said. "I think we could do a lot of good, and we recognize that there's a problem and we want to make a difference," Mead said. "I don't think you should wait around for someone to suffer in order to take action." While financial assistance is the main goal of STAC, it would also like to provide emotional support to families. Kite said the experience of fighting cancer can be very emotionally taxing. Bass said that STAC aims to help families focus on beating cancer, without being overwhelmed by their financial worries, including paying for treatment and other household expenses. "You hear so much about organizations that raise cancer awareness, or raise money for cancer research. Those groups are very important, but they don't focus on the here and now," Kite said.

DRUG ABUSF Education needed to combat drug use at concerts Mary Jane. look out there's a new girl in town by the name of Molly Molly. "Molly," properly known as the powdered form of MDMA, has been causing quite a scene lately, raising much concern and controversy over drug abuse and its ties to the music industry. Electronic Dance Music (EDM) has been the genre most associated with the drug, and everyone in the industry is quick to spread blame for its seemingly sudden rise in consumption. Everyone from festival promoters to paramedics has witnessed the drug's destruction firsthand – most recently at the 2013 Electric Zoo festival in New York, where two attendees died as a result of an apparent overdose of the drug. In response to the deaths, the official decision was made to cancel the third and final day of the festival. The EDM industry is estimated to be worth $4.5 billion, but are the profits worth the risks? One organization in particular doesn't think so. DanceSafe is a nonprofit that has taken a stance towards "promoting health and safety within the rave and nightclub community," according to their mission statement. Earlier this month, DanceSafe issued a press release in response to the tragedies at Electric Zoo. The press release concluded that, "We are all socially responsible. This includes the patron, friend, promoter, DJ/artist, event staff, medical personnel, and even security and law enforcement. If you are a part of the community and/or a particular event and ignoring the realities of drug use, you are socially and medically negligent." DanceSafe believes that the best way to minimize the issue of drug use is through education. Julie Howard, a psychiatrist and editor of "Ecstasy: The Complete Guide," recently told Rolling Stone that, "The biggest issue with Molly is it's a white powder, and a white powder can be absolutely anything." So for all you know, you may have simply taken a hit of a pixie stick. By Lyndsey Havens lhavens@kansan.com Upon learning about these efforts, I couldn't help but wonder, when did our generation become so trusting? We put passcodes on our iPhones and block pictures on Facebook, yet we'll willingly accept questionable drugs for the thrill of dancing like Thom Yorke in the "Lotus Flower" music video. Over the years, I've witnessed the growing dangers of the dynamic dance-music-and-drug duo. I've seen teenagers carried away from the Lollapalooza electronic dance stage on stretchers, and I've seen young adults openly offering an array of substances at Summercamp Music Festival. What strikes me most is the normalcy of it all. This past weekend, I attended Buzz Beach Ball. Though this event was far tamer in comparison to my past experiences, one situation still did arise. While standing amongst the packed crowd for Alt-J, I noticed that someone had passed out just to right next to me. A few audience members circled around the person, with looks of confusion and fear on their faces. Within two minutes, the person stood up and wandered off to make their way towards personal space and fresh air. What shocked me the most wasn't the fact that someone had passed out, but the fact that within mere moments, the crowd had turned their attention back to stage and joined in on the chorus of whatever song was playing. I tapped the person in front of me to ask what had happened, to which he replied, "Who knows? I freakin love Alt.-J, man!" Have we become so tolerant of these instances, so immune, that we no longer react? References to Molly have even made their way into mainstream music, the most recent example being Miley Cyrus' claim to fame, "We Can't Stop." While we may never know if Cyrus' lyrics say "dancing with Miley" or "dancing with Molly," I think it's safe to say that the risk factor is equal. Jillionarie, a member of the DJ project Major Lazer, told Rolling Stone that, "It's going to sound weird, but we need to teach kids how to do drugs, the same way we teach them about drinking responsibly and having safe sex." Personally, I agree. When our generation is told no, we somehow hear yes. Being told not to do something simply becomes a challenge of how we will proceed to do it. In order to keep the current drug culture under control, we first have to control what we know. Before long, the talk about "the birds and the bees," may become a conversation about "the powders and the pills." Lyndsey Havens is a sophomore majoring in journalism from Chicago. BOOK CLUB 'The Falls' weighs importance of sacrifice with costliness I have a tendency to get stuck on a single author. When the first book makes a great impression on me, I won't stop until I have read several more of their works. David Foster Wallace, Roberto Bolaño, Vladimir Nabokov... last spring it was George Saunders. In January, a friend of mine handed me a copy of "CivilWarLand in Bad Decline," and from there I was hooked. Each short story in the collection was equal parts funny, poignant and incisively satirical. Saunders' stories often take place in wacky alternate universes in which some aspect of American culture has been amplified to the nth degree, with frightening or absurd consequences. For instance, in the first paragraph of "The 400-pound CEO" we are introduced to a hilariously unscrupulous corporation that "humanely" executes raccoons with tire irons. Besides being devilishly entertaining, Saunders' stories show their true worth when they examine moral issues and push their characters to the limit. Time and again, Saunders' characters break free from the cages that society has constructed around them to perform selfless acts that reaffirm one's faith in human capacity to do good. One of my favorite stories is "The Falls," from the collection "Pastoralia." The plot is simple: two men, each absorbed in his own thoughts, are walking along a river that ends in a waterfall. Each sees a canoe speeding down the river with two young, oarless girls in it. The canoe hits "the Snag," which is nearly upon the waterfall and begins to take on water — the By Jason Bates. jbates@kansan.com girls will surely die in minutes when the canoe sinks and they are swept over the falls. Too far away to call for help, the first man is trapped in a panic while the second man, against his best reasoning, jumps into the river to attempt to save the girls. the story ends there. It's almost parable-ish in the retelling, but in its original form it is both gut-wrenching and beautiful. I want to focus on the second man that jumps, Morse. We spend the largest portion of the short story inside of Morse's head on his way home from work, while the main conflict only emerges in the final four paragraphs. In middle age, Morse is debt-ridden, works an unrewarding job and loves his wife and children, although he is also sometimes disappointed in them. This disappointment is the icing on Morse's cake of self-loathing. Morse was that kid that was always bullied. The only thing that saved him from being a perennial laughing-stock for being gullible enough to paint his butt blue on prom night was the death of the prankster, a swimmer that died failing to swim to the Snag while drunk. Would you dive into the river to help the girls? I probably wouldn't have, to be honest. When Morse sees them, his thoughts run rapid-fire across the page: "There was no time... Could one swim to the Snag? Certainly one could not. No one ever had... He fiercely wished himself elsewhere." Morse remembers a time that a barge's crew was saved, but only because rescuers used a rope bridge. The statistical probability of his success is almost nil. Yet in the end, amidst his thoughts of the hopelessness of the situation, he jumps. The reader is left with the enormity of his sacrifice looming in the air, above the water. We won't know if he succeeds. I think Saunders leaves out the outcome because it's unimportant. The most important thing is the act itself. Saunders is asking us to ask ourselves about sacrifice. What sacrifices do you make in your life? Is there a point where a sacrifice isn't worth it? What do you sacrifice for? These questions don't have easy answers. In "The Falls," one could feasibly argue that Morse makes his decision selfishly, to die as a tragic hero; however, I think that Morse ultimately does it based out of a love for his children, and by extension the children of others. The story is a very extreme case, but at its core it is calling us to sacrifice for things that we love. It doesn't have to be your whole life. When is the last time you sacrificed a few minutes to call your mom? Or gave your time to help a classmate understand a difficult homework problem? It's intentional everyday sacrifices like these that can accumulate to make a big difference.

Truth be told, dating is awkward, and talking about it is even worse. However, living in a hall with 47 other women, in addition to my own experiences, I've seen my fair share of triumphs and tragedies, and something must be said about relationships in college. HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR About a year ago, I had an epiphany about my co-ed friendships. I had been wondering why, even though I knew I wanted nothing more than friendship, that I was feeling more emotionally attached to my male friends' lives than I was to my female friends' lives. I realized the problem was in my expectations of my friendships. Being single at the time, I had been unaware that I treated guy friends somewhat like boyfriends (minus the romance) in order to fill the absence of companionship I felt. Expecting my friends to act like this made it difficult for both sides to feel completely comfortable around each other, and left me feeling ignored when my friends would hang out without me, or start seeing someone. Trevo Graft, editor-in-chief @kansasan@kansasan Allison Kohn, managing editor @kansasan@kansasan Dylan Lysen, managing editor dlysen@kansasan@kansasan It's kind of embarrassing to admit, but the truth is I see this problem in other women every day. It doesn't necessarily manifest itself in the same way - some girls are on the perpetual hunt for a man in all the wrong places, others eat their #foreveralone feelings down to the last pint of ice cream and still others allow themselves to be treated poorly in the hopes of finding that special someone. I realize this makes it sound like every woman on campus is here to get her MRS degree, but that's far from the truth.

However, while dating can be fun, being single isn't a bad thing either. As cliché as it sounds, being independent and learning to really love yourself is absolutely the foundational step to being happy—whether you're with someone or not. Stop worrying about being alone and take some time to learn about yourself. Appreciate your independence and don't mistreat yourself or allow others to do so. Take a hint from Ginny Weasley and give up pining away for Mr. Right-Now; love and respect yourself, and whatever happens after that will be Expecto Patraweesome. @Kansan_Opinion SMRC hallway with floor to ceiling windows.

"Chick-Flicks," as they've so nicely been dubbed, are almost always sappy romantic comedies about two people who, despite making terrible relationship choices, fall in love. Every single Nicholas Sparks novel has taught me that I have the perfect soul mate waiting for me somewhere out there. Don't even get me started on Twilight—according to Stephanie Meyer's philosophy, materialism and male-dominance are what my life should be about. Even Katniss of "The Hunger Games"—as much as I hate to admit it—spends most of her time (particularly in "Catching Fire" and "Mocking-jay") worrying about and being torn between Peeta and Gale.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Bono gave a funky, rousing introduction to Wonder, who headlined the second annual concert. Wonder wowed audience members, who danced and sang along to songs including "Superstition" and "Isn't She Lovely." "This is a global celebration," Wonder yelled to the crowd.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Q: We have read about you being a member of the army before starting pageans, so how exactly did you make that decision to become a beauty queen? A: It was actually because of somebody in my unit. He told me that through everything I do, just by being me, I am an inspiration to other women, that I inspire them to do more and to try more. I thought about that statement for a while and thought I do have a good message to give and I do want to be a role model so I starting looking at Big Brothers big bossing and big Sisters, Girl Scouts – just ways I could get involved and help other women. I am very competitive so I wanted to try pageants and I knew if I won I would have a voice to help women. Q: What role have your parents played throughout this process? How have they helped you make these decisions? A: Oh my gosh, yes, they were so supportive. Nobody expected this from me so I didn't think they would be on board but they were all for it because they knew I wasn't doing it for the glamour or publicity. I wanted to help other women. Q: What instilled this notion in you to be self-reliant? What does that term mean to you? me; they were vicious. So I knew that had to become self sufficient, independent, reliant on myself and nobody else. When I realized that at such a young age, it allowed me to try different things that I don't think I would have had I not been so isolated. A: When I was a kid, I was bullied, so I did everything on my own. Kids were so terrible to Q: What are your thoughts on self-responsibility and what exactly does that entail as a young and beautiful woman? I think kids nowadays should have way more responsibilities. I think in our generation and in our society, kids are given everything on a silver platter so they have no personal responsibility. I think joining the army so early, at age 17, is where I learned all my maturity and responsibility because you had to step up to the plate and I think people are missing that nowadays. Q: What does the second amendment, which protects the rights of the people to keep and bear arms from infringement, mean to you? A: I am a big fan of the second amendment and will defend it to my death.I believe in self-defense,protecting your family,your country and your self against the government. Q: Being a Kansas girl, do you have any advice for the women at the University? A: My advice would be to be aware that you are probably being stereotyped and do everything you can to prove that stereotype wrong. I know that when I walk into a room and based on my looks, that people do not expect me to be intelligent. They don't expect me to hold an intelligent conversation. As a woman, you have to be aware that you are being stereotyped. Think before you say things and think before you do things. Q: Miss New York, Miss America 2014, also broke stereotypes and barriers being the first woman of Indian heritage to win the competition. How do you feel about the many derogatory comments that have been made about winner Miss New York's ethnicity and race? How would you have handled the situation? give her my support 100 percent. C'mon people it is 2013, end the racism; there is no place for it; its disgusting. A: Nina is very resilient. She did not allow the comments to get the best of her. She has been handling it very well. I told her and I told the world on my blog that I with that. A: I'm gonna tell you something right now - I do not have friends. I can't tell you a single friend I had at K-State and I've been there for four years. I am a very focused individual - I don't care about partying and going out to Aggieville. I care about my studies and I care about my future and I care about community involvement. I didn't make friends and I was OK Q: So I assume that also covers of the question of whether or not you have a boyfriend? Q: How are your friends at school responding to your success? A: I don't need people around me to make me feel important. I use my time wisely and spend it with people who need me. I don't have a boyfriend, sometimes I wish I had one but I think my standards are too high or I have lost all hope in mankind because no guy has matched up to my standards. A: Sometimes I wish I was a Q: Do you sometimes wish you had more free time? normal college student but then I think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. There are a lot of women that would die to be in my position so I need to make the most of it. Q: What are your next plans? A: I have another interview; I've had about six today. It's go, go, go. I'm constantly doing interviews and driving on the road.

Excuses ranging from, "my little sister is waiting for me upfront," to "I dropped my cellphone at the front and need to go see if its still there," all were tired and tried by the time the sun had set on Buzz Beach Ball, an annual "mini music fest" promoted by 96.5 The Buzz. Though, as the coolness of night settled over the park, the crowds only increased in size. Buzz Beach Ball took place Friday, Sept. 20, at Berkley Riverfront Park in Kansas City, Mo. Compared to music events I have attended in the past, it was a nice change of pace to be in such a small area, where the walk from one stage to the other only took a matter of minutes. The schedule allowed an hourlong set for each of the 14 performers: Radkey, Saints of Valory, Little Green Cars, Atlas Genius, Kitten, Hanni El Khatib, Daughter, Wavves, Cage the Awilation, MS MR, Alt-J, Coheed and Cambria and Phoenix. The timing was brilliant, as soon as one set concluded the next one began. The ians that were less concerned with their proximity to the stage and more concerned with hearing the music claimed a perfectly prime spot to sit in between the two stages. The more restless fans, on the other hand, had their sights set on making it to the front of the crowd: the mecca of the music. Though the performance level that MS MR brought to the stage captivated me, the enormous crowd forming at the other stage for the English quartet Alt-J concerned me. I made the official decision to leave MS MR early in hopes of claiming a decent spot to watch all of the Alt-J set. I made it to the stage just as "Rack City" blared from the speakers as Alt-J took to the stage, creating what I thought to be an odd juxtaposition, before they dove into their song, "Fitzpleasure." An hour later, before their set came to a close with their hit "Breezeblocks," they announced, "Normally wed walk off stage after that and pretend we were done, then come back on. But we won't do that to you Kansas City. We respect you too much." If only the girls singing all the wrong lyrics next to me had some respect as well. Phoenix was the last group to go on, leaving us all with a killer performance. Their set started off strong with their most recent hit, "Entertainment," as well as former hits such as, "Lasso" and "Liszto-mania" among others. My tired legs were just about ready to call it a night, but Thomas Mars, lead singer of Phoenix, had enough energy to keep me, and the rest of the crowd, going. To bring the night to a memorable close, Mars jumped off stage, walked around to the back where the videographers and photographers were positioned above the crowd, climbed up onto their platform to thank the fans, and proceeded to crowd surf back to the stage while pausing in the middle of the crowd to stand up and wave goodnight. Though ear-numbing applause and screams of thousands gave me a slight headache, they proved the night had brought an enjoyable experience to many. The small park cleared out relatively quick, as the staff wasted no time in beginning to pack up equipment and break down the stages. For a music event that occurs so late in September, the name Beach Ball somehow seems fitting, seeing as the day reminded me of a carefree, blissful summer day filled with great music.

The band released their EP, Sod in the Seed, on Aug. 14. Q&A: Why? band member preps for tonight's show EMILY DONOVAN edonovan@kansan.com why?, the post-folk-rock and alternative hip-hop cult favorite, plays tonight at The Granada. When Yoni Wolf, the band's founder, performs, he speaks, raps and whines. With lines like "Fruitless in a holster and clueless in a kiss" and "Cutting the punch line, that ain't no joke," the lyrics tend to border on stream-of-consciousness, forming impressions and emotions rather than easy-to-follow narratives. Each album has a completely different style, which Wolf thinks is cool. He doesn't want Why? to be the band of kind that has 10 albums out and they all sound the same. Wolf was walking to a Sunday afternoon yoga class when this interview was conducted. The University Daily Kansan Who do you try to appeal to when you write music? Yoni Wolf: More and more, I'm against the idea of worrying about what people are going to think about something. I want to be proud of something the way it sounds. If it's ballsy and it has a direction and it follows my tastes, then there will be people who will like it. You can't ever please everybody. There's always going to be somebody that doesn't like what you do. That's all right. UDK: What's your writing process like? Most of your lyrics are like poetry—you have to decode them. YW: We've made this distinction over the last 50, 60 years of "This is pop music," or "This is high art poetry," and there's this idea that "never the two shall meet." I think you can have more. You can be more dignified and humane and you can dig deeper with music than a lot of people think they can.I always feel like I want to get to the bone. And that's how I am with everything. I want to go all the way down as far as I can go. And I feel that way about relationships. I'm always dissatisfied with how close I am to other people. I always feel like a stranger. I feel that way with words or ideas that I might want to say or talk about. I want to get to the heart of the issue, not just the surface of something. I'm not at all holier-than-thou or by no means hoiity-toy. I'm not that smart in terms of—I don't have the best vocabulary and I didn't go to Ivy League schools. I dropped out of art school. But I'm a very sensitive person and I have a big heart and I want to share that. And I want to open myself to the world. And I think that's what I'm trying to do. And you can't do that through superficial language. Music is a craft in a way,but it's not just a way to make a living. Of course, I'd like to make my living that way and I have been, but it's more than that for me. UDK: What would you want to say to a bunch of college students in Kansas? YW: Oh, I don't know. I'm more about trying to connect as an individual. I perform songs onstage but I'm definitely not a preacher. My dad does that. UDK: Is there any advice you'd want to give? YW: Did you say advice that I wanted to give or get? UDK: Well, either, I suppose YW: I'd love to get advice about how to connect with people. How to be intimate with one person. That'd be great. UDK: What do you want someone going to your concert or listening to your music to think? What's your goal? YW: You want someone to get some kind of feeling. That's the bottom line.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 SOCCER PAGE 9 Sporting KC wastes scoring chances, falls to Union 1-0 BRIAN HILLIX bhillix@hansan.com The Philadelphia Union only had one good look at the goal in the first half against Sporting Kansas City on Friday. Unfortunately for Sporting KC (14-10-6), the Union capitalized on that opportunity to score their first goal in their last four games and capture the 1-0 victory. Sporting wasn't short of chances to score. Sporting forward Dom Dwyer almost curved a free kick into the corner of the goal in the 14th minute following a Philadelphia foul. The ball hit the top of the goalpost after eluding a wall of five Philadelphia players. ive Philadelphia play. Midfielder Benny Feilhaber, midfieldler Graham Zusi and Dwyer all narrowly missed goals in a 3-minute span midway through the first half. Fellhaber and forward C.J. Sapong almost executed a give-and-go, but Philadelphia goalkeeper Zac Macmath guessed right to keep the game scoreless. Just a few minutes later, Zusi escaped multiple defenders and almost found the top of the goal, but Macmath again tipped the ball away. Off the corner kick following the save by Macmath, the ball found Dwyer in front of the goal, but his header sailed high. In the 36th minute, Philadelphia forward Conor Casey scored off a broken play. Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen saved a shot by midfielder Michael Farfan, but Casey knocked the ball in off the ricochet. Philadelphia midfielder/forward Daniel Cruz made a nice move in the open field and passed the ball to Farfan to get the ball close to the goal before Casey finished the play. Sporting's scoring opportunities diminished in the second half. Prings's scoring opportunities diminished in the second half. A nice pass by defender Chance Myers set Dwyer up for an attempt near the front of the goal, but his header went wide left in the 52nd minute. That proved to be the last real scoring threat for Sporting in the game. Sporting had a free kick in the 95th minute of the match, but a header by defender Aurelien Collin lacked velocity and was stopped easily by Macmath. the Union only delivered four shots and two on goal compared to Sporting's nine shots and three on goal in the first half. The Union, who won for the first time since Aug. 10 against D.C. United, improved to 11-10-9 on the season and currently hold the fifth and last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Kiffin cut loose at airport as Southern Cal. moves forward Edited by Evan Dunbar Arizona State University head coach Todd Graham, left, shakes hands with USC head coach Lane Kiffin after ASU defeated USC 62-41 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz. UCSC fired Kiffin early Sunday morning, not long after the team lost 62-41 at Arizona State. ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Lane Kiffin triumphantly flew in from Tennessee nearly four years ago as the unlikely choice to extend Southern California's football renaissance. When Kiffin's Trojans trudged home to that same airport early Sunday morning after another loss, athletic director Pat Haden couldn't wait another minute to end the divisive coach's tumultuous tenure. our tenure. USC fired Kiffin hours after a 62-41 loss at Arizona State that dropped the Trojans to 3-2 overall and 0-2 in the Pac-12. The loss was the seventh in 11 games for a powerhouse program still struggling under the cumulative effect of NCAA sanctions, but unwilling to accept such a dramatic decline. "It's never the perfect time to do these things, but I thought it was the right time," Haden said. Ed Orgeron will be USC's interim coach for the final eight games of the season before Haden chooses a permanent successor for one college football's highest-profile jobs. Orgeron, Kiffin's assistant coach and top recruiter, is the former Mississippi coach Haden broke the news to Kiffin in a 3 a.m. meeting at the Trojans' private airport terminal, but not before a 45-minute chat in which Kiffin tried to change Haden's mind. Haden didn't hire Kiffin, but had been firmly behind the coach in public until Saturday, when the Trojans matched the most points allowed in school history. "He did a lot of things well under some very difficult circumstances here," said Haden, who also fired men's basketball coach Kevin O'Neill during the season last January. "No one could have worked harder. He did a lot of the things we asked. Graduated players, never had compliance issues ... and he really worked under some very difficult NCAA sanctions, there's no doubt about it." Kiffin ran a competent program despite the loss of 30 scholarships over a three-season stretch that ends in 2015. But even Kiffin acknowledged he didn't winning enough in the last two seasons at a school with USC's pedigree, and he also created off-the-field troubles ranging from ethically questionable tactics to pointless squabbles with media. "Lane did negotiate some of these things remarkably well," Haden said. "I have supported Lane with my heart and soul for 3 1/2 years and gave him every opportunity. He wasn't given a fair hand in a lot of ways. I said all along, we graded on the curve, but we failed on the curve, too." The Trojans are off this week before returning Oct. 10 at the Coliseum against Arizona, giving Orgeron time to evaluate what can be done to salvage the season with the toughest matchups on USC's schedule still looming. USC's schedule isn't looming. Kiffin went 28-15 in parts of four seasons in his self-described dream job, but USC is 0-2 in conference play for the first time since 2001 after losses to Arizona State and Washington State — and the record only partly captures the discontent of USC's fans and alumni. The Trojans were unimpressive on offense even in their three victories this season, stoking unease around a school with skyhigh expectations even at the tail end of crippling NCAA penalties stemming from coach Pete Carroll's tenure. Kiffin received withering criticism for persisting in calling the Trojans' offensive plays himself well into the school's second straight poor offensive season. The Trojans lost their home openier 10-7 to the Cougars earlier this month, and Coliseum fans Before this season began, Haden said he was "100 percent" behind the embattled Kiffin. "We support our coaches 100 percent until they're no longer our coaches," Haden said. "Why would you support a coach 85 percent?" The 52-year-old Orgeron went 10-25 in three seasons at Ole Miss, but that failed tenure did little to diminish his stature as a bulldog coach and defensive line coach. "I think it could easily be asked, 'Why not last year after the 7-6 season?' Haden said. "What do serenaded USC repeatedly with chants of "Fire Kiffin!" USC has been in a slow tailspin since going 10-2 and beating Oregon in 2011, the last year of its bowl ban. After starting as the preseason No. 1 last year, the Trojans finished 7-6 and out of the rankings — the first preseason No. 1 in nearly a half-century to fall so far — followed by this season's disappointments. The firing comes less than five months after Haden said Kiffin had "been as good as he can be" in the face of USC's sanctions. you know now that you didn't know after a 7-6 season?' The rationale was the prior year, Lane had won 10 games. We thought, and [were] hoping that last year was an aberration. We felt we could rebound, make some changes, and indeed, Lane did ... But at the end of the day, we just weren't making the progress I felt we needed to make."

Senior libero Brianne Riley, left, celebrates with teammate Jamie Mathieu after winning a point against TCU Saturday. The Jayhawks are 1-0 in conference play following the win. Kansas (11-3) finished 9-2 in the month of September and pushed its winning streak to seven matches. Against a team that led the conference in hitting percentage at .260, the Jayhawks held the Horned Frogs to a.138 percentage for the match. Kansas now goes on the road for its next two matches as it seeks its first Big 12 conference championship. "It's a good way to end September," Coach Ray Bechard said. "October's the month where you separate teams that want to be great and teams that are looking for the finish line." The Jayhawks' next two matches will be against Kansas State and Baylor. The Wildcats are currently receiving votes in the Top 25 of the American Coaches Volleyball Association while Baylor topped the Jayhawks in Waco, Texas, last year in four sets. Kansas started quickly as it built an early lead in the match. A Caroline Jarmoc kill off a bad TCU pass forced the Horned Frogs to call a timeout with Kansas holding a 7-2 lead. TCU never got closer than two points the rest of the way as the Jayhawks took the set 25-19. Junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers and freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery combined for 13 kills and no errors in the set as the Jayhawks reached a .368 hitting percentage. The defense sparked the team to open the second set as the Jayhawks tallied three blocks in the first five points of the set, leading to a 4-1 advantage. Jarmoc's five kills and four blocks in the set helped Kansas build a double-digit lead and take the second set 25-13, its most lopsided win in a set since Sept. 13 against Milwaukee. Kansas had more kills (14) in the set than TCU points (13) as the Jayhawks did not commit an error leading to a blistering .667 nitting percentage in the set, a season-high. TCU took its first lead of the match in the third set at 4-5. After an 11-11 tie, Kansas broke the game open winning the next four points. The Jayhawks led the rest of the way and held off a late TCU rally to take the set 25-22 and the match. Dockery, Albers and Jarmoc each had double-digit kills with Dockery's 14 being the team-high. The Horned Frogs committed 19 errors, their second most of the season in a three-set match. Senior setter Erin McNorton had 38 assists to aid the Kaua's attack. Senior middle blocker Yvonne Igodan and junior opposite hitter Stephanie Holland, who both rank in the Top 10 in the Big 12 in hitting percentage, were held to a .098 combined hitting percentage. Marmoc led the Kansas defense with seven blocks while senior libero Brianne Riley and senior defensive specialist Jaime Mathieu totaled 14 digs each in the match. "Our goal was to keep them (TCU) below 200 for the match," larmoc said. "So it feels great." Blocking is something you work very hard on but isn't a showy skill. When you start getting a lot of blocks it's rewarding because your hard work is paying off." TCU dropped to 0-2 in Big 12 play after falling in three sets at home to Texas on Wednesday. The Jayhawks stand at 1-0. Kansas travels to Manhattan, Kan, to take on Kansas State on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. The Wildcats fell in their Big 12 opener to West Virginia on Friday.

Santa Clara knocked in its third goal in the 54th minute off a penalty kick to create a two-goal advantage over the Jayhawks. Sophomore midfielder Liana Salazar had a free kick about 19 yards outside of the goal 20 minutes later. With both teammates and defenders crowding her path to the goal, she kicked it past everyone, including the goalkeeper, into the back of the net to bring the score to 3-2. The remaining 16 minutes were not enough for Kansas to Coach Mark Francis said the team played well enough to win, and it was disappointing the team didn't come back with a victory. He said Santa Clara's penalty kick came at an unfortunate time. --- The night started off with plenty of action. Five minutes into the half, Santa Clara junior forward Sofia Huerta gave her team the early lead. On the other side, the Jayhawks responded quickly. Sophomore forward Courtney Dickerson passed the ball to senior forward Caroline Kastor in front of the opponent's goal.

Because first of all, Trent couldn't have carried the kind of load that Cleveland needed." PAGE 11 — Jim Brown, Eight-time NFL rushing champion FACT OF THE DAY The Colts own the first overall pick (Andrew Luck) and the third overall pick (Trent Richardson) of the 2012 NFL draft. SAN n's --- ESPN.COM TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q. When was the last time the Brown's made the playoffs? A: 2002 tchins ESPN.COM --- THE MORNING BREW Browns-Colts trade benefits both teams Twelve days ago, the 0-2 Cleveland Brown's traded Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts. The Brown's received the Colts' 2014 first round draft pick. On the surface, the Brown's looked as if they were packing it in for the 2013-14 season, but let's check out who really got the better deal. Richardson, the No. 3 selection in the 2012 draft, has played in two games since being traded to the Colts two weeks ago. Last week, Richardson was showcased in the Colts offense by scoring the opening touchdown against NFC champions, the San Francisco 49ers. Richardson finished the game with 13 carries for 35 yards, a touchdown and the 27-7 victory. This week, Richardson carried the rock 20 times for 60 yards and a touchdown. Richardson had two touchdowns in two weeks with the Colts, and didn't score the first two weeks for the Browns. By Blair Sheade bsheade@kansan.com If anyone were asked last week which team received the better trade, the common response would be the Colts. They would be forced to say the Colts out traded the Browns because Richardson was an instant upgrade to the Colts. The Browns were left a bad team without its best player and a 2014 first round draft pick. However, that was not the case. Last week, the Cleveland Brown were the underdog by 6.5 points to the winless Minnesota Vikings. The Browns, who started backup quarterback Brian Hoyer instead of 2012 first round draft pick Brandon Weeden, were thought to have no shot against Adrian Peterson and the Vikings in the Metrodome. The Browns were set up for failure after the Richardson trade, but they disappointed the doubters. The Browns beat the Vikings 31-27 and shocked the fans. No one thought the Browns had the potential to beat the Vikings, but they were wrong. Backup quarterback Brian Hoyer, who only started two games last year for the Arizona Cardinals, threw 54 passes and completed 30 of them for 321 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. The last time the Brownds had a 300-yard passer was week 13 of the 2012-13 season, when Brandon Weeden passed for 364 yards against the Oakland Raiders. The Browns have switched its offense from a rush heavy team to a pass happy team since trading Richardson. The Browns supplemented Richardson's touches on the offense and gave the rock to second year wide receiver Josh Gordon. Gordon caught 10 balls for 146 yards and a touchdown. The Brown continued the streak with a 17-7 win over 2012 AFC North champions, the Cincinnati Bengals, on Sunday. Quarterback Brain Hoyer threw for 269 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. The first two weeks, the Browns rushed 31 times for 102 yards with Richardson, and threw 86 times with Brandon Weeden. The KU The numbers don't lie. The Browns have played better football with Richardson and Weeden, and with Brian Hoyer in the starting lineup. Now the Browns have an additional first round pick in the 2014 draft to help this new team. past two weeks, the Browns have rushed 47. Browns have rushed 4 times for 212 yards with six different running backs and thrown 92 times with Brian Hover. The biggest number, however, is two. The Browns are 2-0 since the Richardson trade. The Browns will try to add to its winning streak Thursday, Oct. 3, against the Buffalo Bills at 8:25 p.m. on the NFL Network.

McCay said he talked with family and friends like Trevor and Travis every day while going through the process of transferring. "It was nerve-racking for them McCay had lived with Grunhard for a while after his father died. He also had other friends in Lawrence, including Releford. "It was nerve-racking for them, but more for me," McCay said. "On the outside I was fine, but on the inside I was real worried about it." The hardship waiver request was denied. It was another low point after a long and tiring journey to play for Kansas. Though, now he was close enough to Kansas City to make Like on a dirt road, you know what I mean? I don't know if we were on concrete or anything. There's definitely been ups and downs," McCay said, pausing for a moment before adding, "more downs than ups." visits to see his family, especially his sisters who were too young to understand the reasons behind his relocation. "They don't know what all went on," McCay said, "but they were really excited to get to see me everyday." this season, McCay ran on the field with his new team for the first time. He caught the only touchdown pass by a wide receiver so far this season, and the reception broke a streak of more than a year without a touchdown by a Kansas wide receiver. But this season hasn't been all high points for McCay. Since catching that pass from Jake Heaps in the back of the end zone and celebrating with his team. McCay has been moved to second string and gone two games without a reception. He's become almost a forgotten receiver in a group that has been mostly recognized only for the amount of passes they've dropped. But this year McCay has something he's lacked the last three years: the opportunity to prove himself on Saturday. And after each home game he's met by the smiles of his little sisters outside the locker room. He gives a slight laugh each time he talks about those huge No.19 jerseys they wear that look more like dresses on them. like dresses on them. He has matured over the last four years, he says he needed that. His experiences have taught him valuable lessons. "Just, never give up," McCay said, during fall camp as he sat in a large room at the Kansas football complex overlooking Kivisto field. "These are my dreams. I feel like I was born to do this. That's just how I feel about football. Without football, I don't know what I would be doing. It's hard to think about." It's like Robert McCay always told Justin while he was growing up, if you love something never do it halfhearted.

Which is why it's fitting that the loudest message came in the form of a picture featuring a man known for his lack of speech. Smack-dab in the center of the Jayhawks' media guide stands Perry Ellis, his stoic face at a noticeably more muscular frame. While the rest of the team emits playful energy around him, Ellis is a rock, his eyes locked dead ahead. FOOTBALL SOCCER RECAP PAGE-10 Forget a tagline, it's all too apparent what the program is saying: The 2013-14 Kansas Jayhawks are Perry Ellis' team. "Perry could easily be our leading scorer," Kansas coach Bill Self said during the year's first press conference. Hes very quiet," Self said. "But the fire burns, there's no question." RANGE OF GENERY Returning home helps McCay find his way back on the football field adidas KANSAS 19 "A lot of guys are looking up to me." Ellis said. "It was a quick transition. I was a freshman last year and now I'm one of the older guys." Not on this team at least. The coaching staff believes Ellis can make this transition. Self mentioned ways of getting his players to use their voice and didn't seem concerned that Ellis would have trouble doing so. To reiterate, a team stocked with Wiggins, Wayne Seldon, Conner Frankamp – all with unconscious scoring ability – will follow Ellis' pace. "I think he's a natural scorer," Self said. "Last year he was trying to fit in and be one of many, this year he's got to have more of a hungry attitude." Like he did last season, Ellis will be put in a new situation, one that he's not accustomed to. And like last season, the coaches expect Ellis to thrive. So it's conceivable to think that Ellis can pick up where he finished last season, but that's not the tough part for the soft-spoken forward. "I think the big thing with Perry is him being comfortable," Self said. "It's nice to see him grow in that way." It was all too easy for Ellis to coast through most of the year. His quiet demeanor didn't lead to any noteworthy comments and his gradual transition to the college game didn't merit much excitement. Self alluded to Ellis' final stretch of last year as his turning point. Over the closing 11 games of the season, including the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments, Ellis averaged 9.3 points and five re-bounds. In the 26 games prior to that Ellis topped nine points only three times. Then, one day, everyone looked up and saw Ellis dropping 23 points against Iowa State in the Big 12 Tournament seemingly out of nowhere. He played as calm and cool as he had all season, but with an air of confidence guiding him to the basket.

In May of justin's junior year, Robert died from his battle with the disease. he suffered with diabetes. His father was the one he asked for permission to play football "Like my dad always said, 'if you go in halfhearted to something,you don't love it." JUSTIN MCCAY Kansas wide receiver Miege High School said. Holmes remembers Justin talking with his father Robert McCay after every game during his high school years. It wasn't easy for Robert to make it to games as when he was 8 years old, though it was just flag football at first. Robert, who played basketball at Rust College in Mississippi, allowed it. " ever since he said I could play football I've loved it." McCay said. Robert saw how much his son enjoyed the game and gave him some advice; if he really loved playing football, he should play the game with all of his heart. "Like my dad always said, 'if you go in halfhearted to something, you don't love it,'" McCay said. It's difficult to lose a parent at any age, but the year before college is crucial for most young people. It's a time that determines the direction of a person's life and the man that McCay most leans on for advice wasn't there. McCay relied on friends to help him through that. One of his best friends is Alabama point guard Trevor Releford, the brother of former Kansas basketball player Travis Releford. Justin and Trevor won both football and basketball state championships together the year after Justin's father passed When Justin came to Kansas it was Travis that told him to keep working hard and that he would reach the light at the end of the tunnel. Justin arrived in Kansas after two years at Oklahoma that didn't go as planned. He was expected to become a star, rated as the top player in the state of Kansas out of high school by Rivals, but instead never caught a pass as a Sooner and struggled with being away from home. away. He thought about quitting the game altogether, but friends and family changed his mind Tim Grunhard, former high school coach of McCay at Bishop Miege had just received a job as the offensive line coach at Kansas.

Answer: you do something bigger. You go international. This year's theme is Jayhawks Around the World. It serves to celebrate alumni, students and Jayhawk enthusiasts across the globe, so we wanted the focal piece of this issue to be those people themselves. On pages five through 12, you'll find interviews with Jayhawks from all walks of life and from countries. Some were abroad briefly, some have just set foot on foreign soil and others have left their home in Lawrence for a career across the Pacific Ocean. Each one of them is proof that a Jayhawk is successful and driven, no matter where it lands. We extend a warm "welcome home" to alumni joining us for the celebration. Each of their experiences has contributed a piece to the framework of rich history of the University, just as we are each building upon it right now. We value their stories: we laugh at, learn from and grow with them. In the "Jayhawks Then and Now" section, we brought these past and present stories together, and we discovered that although decades pass, there are still threads that connect Jayhawks through time. What this issue and this homecoming celebration come down to is adventure. For a couple thousand freshman, this first homecoming marks the beginning of a journey that is filled with the promise of adventure. This is a time for seniors to reflect on their adventure so far as they decide how it will unfold after graduation. And it's the stories of alumni that inspire us to never stop adventuring. No matter where your adventure takes you, whether it be to Dubai, Hong Kong or Paris, once you become a Jayhawk, you have a home for life.

She continued to pursue music throughout her career, and would teach her piano students the University fight song. In a retirement community in Lenexa lives an old woman with a piano. Photos of former music students and family sit on the shelves, and old newspapers and sheet music are propped against the wall. For many of the students in the photos, this piano gave start to their music lessons in their youth. As the young students plucked their first notes, the sounds would join together and create the familiar tune of the University fight song. Though the children didn't realize it, this song wasn't only the beginning of their music careers, but their teacher's as well. As their teacher taught them the notes, she remembers, playing the same notes with the Marching Jayhawks during homecoming. In September 1943, Jawhawk football spectators were shocked at the site of women marching into Memorial Stadium, wearing not dresses, but the same crimson and blue marching band uniforms as their male peers. Among these women marched Marjorie Lee "Marlee" Skeen-Parmiter, one of the first females to join the Marching Jawhaws. With World War II calling the men to service, the marching band needed to add women to its ensemble to compensate for the loss of men. At the time, this radical idea was necessary to maintain the band for football and basketball games. Meanwhile, Skeen-Parmiter had CONTRIBUTED PHOTO received a music scholarship from the University after receiving a 'highly superior' score on her piano solo at state competition. When she arrived at the University, there was a need for women in the marching band, so Parmiter joined and marched with her Baritone on the front rank, the tallest of all the girls. Parmiter said that it wasn't easy being a girl in the marching band. She said that the critics were ready to 'pounce' on the girls if they didn't play correctly. Despite this, Parmiter and the other women remained in the band. "There used to be a time when they hated it so much, to have girls in the marching band," Parmiter said, "but the war was on, and if they didn't have you, they wouldn't have a band." Women were banned from "I loved Lawrence. I just really did because so many people loved music and wanted the very best." MARJORIE "MARLEE" SKEEN-PARMITER Former Marching Jayhawk the Marching Jayhawks in 1948, following the end of World War II. Though their participation was brief, women were an important part of the band during the war — the band likely wouldn't have existed without female additions. Parmiter recalls a memory of Dr. Gastin, head of the music department at the time, calling on her one evening to pick up an instrument and play in the orchestra. "When they needed a trombone player in the orchestra, I had happened to come by the office and Dr. Gastin said 'Here, take this horn and get over to Hoch. They need a trombone.' And I said 'Well I don't play trombone' and he said 'Well, you'll give it a try'" Parmiter said she recalls Dr. Gastin noticed things that other teachers did not. "Dr. Gastin was something else," Parmiter said. "He was meaner than a junkyard dog. He called me in one time to thank me for being so nice to these two young men my senior year. And I said 'Well Dr. Gastin, why wouldn't I be?' They were two gay students. He was thanking me for being nice to them and they were as nice as they could be. It wouldn't have occurred to be. It would not have occurred to be any other way. Dr. Gastin really did notice a lot of things about you." Mentors like Dr. Gastin inspired Parmiter become a music teacher herself. "I just think KU has the best music [education] department in the country." Parmiter said. "I know that is prejudiced, but they had the most practical approach to teaching. I thought." Before her music-teaching career began, Parmiter had the opportunity to work for Phog Allen as a secretary. As she sat in her piano room, she recalled with both embarrassment and admiration a memory of Phog asking her to blush for a famous photographer and later apologizing to her. inead photographer for 'Life Magazine' came in during the war," Parmiter said. "Phog asked me to come in there and introduce me to him, and I wasn't used to meeting famous people and this was a famous person. He [Phog] said, 'I've got one of the few females on the hill that still blush. Blush for him Marlee!' I just got as red as all. The next day, I found a box of chocolates and a letter of apology on my typewriter." After graduating from the University, Parmiter taught in many cities across the state, from Topeka to Bonner Springs and as far as Central Kansas. Since marching in the band, Parmiter's life has changed considerably, but the University has remained a constant reminder of her beginning. "I loved Lawrence," Parmiter said. "I just really did because so many people loved music and wanted the very best. I just loved KU. I really did." — Edited by Chas Strobel Amy Twirler continues an experienced Jayhawk legacy CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Current twirter Shannon Livengood, a junior from Clay Center, performs at football games with the Marching Jawahres.

Livengood, a junior from Clay Center, enjoys listening to old stories from previous twirlers and comparing how the position she currently holds has changed throughout the years.

"This guy came over to me and said, 'When we go to commercial break, I am putting you on national television,' Post said. Post said the experience was "one of the thrills of [her] lifetime." Livengood is currently under direction of the band department and, rather than performing at basketball games, twirls at football games and at the pregame with the Marching Jayhawks. Livengood can be seen leading "My entire freshman year, I didn't get to perform at any basketball games and my sophomore year, I needed a separate try out." Livengood said. Livengood will perform at halftime during one women's and one men's basketball game this season. the Marching Jayhawks down the hill during the homecoming parade. Post was not considered part of the band and did not lead the Marching Jayhawks to Memorial Stadium before each game. Neither twirler was given a coach, choreographer or sponsored by the University. "I spend most of my time practicing alone, making up my own routines with a song chosen by the band director," Livengood said. "Unless I am able to reserve Robinson Auditorium or find a spot at the [recreation center], I practice outdoors." Through shared memories and comparative experiences, both Post and Livengood agree that twirling for the University has been an honor. Livengood hopes to continue twirling for the University until she graduates and, eventually, find a future twirler with enough experience to follow in her and Post's footsteps.

A car accident ended Seuer's professional football career. He is now a firefighter in Olathe. I obviously made some great friends from Kansas and am fortunate to still be very close to them right now, even though I played back in the early '80s. I am from Southern California originally, so we got a chance to play USC in the College Jam. They were the 3-touchdown favorite and we ended up beating them. We also had the chance to beat Missouri a couple times, which was very, very fun. A win against them always means a lot to both the Jayhawk players and fans. I have been fortunate enough to stay in contact with a lot of people. John Hail, who was the assistant athletic director at the time, and I still remain very good friends. Being a Jayhawk has been a nice, long journey. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE HOMECOMING TRADITION? We didn't really get a huge chance to participate. But it was always fun to speak to the crowd before the games, and talk to the students. It always involved a lot of excitement and emotion. what DO YOU THINK IT MEANS TO BE A JIAYHAWK? It's one of those things that very few people will know about unless they actually experience it—especially coming from California to Kansas and not knowing much of what KU was all about. As soon as you get on campus and get involved with the people who are there, it doesn't take long to understand what it is all about, and the importance of the closeness of everybody. Jayhawk pride comes through with everyone involved with it. IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND GIVE YOUR COLLEGE FRESHMEN-SELF ADVICE, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Don't wish it away. It goes by so fast and people are really anxious to get [their] degree. That happens fast enough, so take it all in. In involved with all the different activities.

Ann McCroskey: I would definitely have to say Late Night in the Phog. It is such an awesome tradition and there is nothing like the feeling of being in Allen Fieldhouse. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF BEING A ROCK CHALK DANCER? Schimke: The community that we share with all of the girls means so much to me. We are like a close-knit family, always there for help and companionship for each other. McCroskey. When we were there, because we were creating the squad from scratch, we became a team very quickly because we had to prove that we really belonged there, because the dance team didn't even exist then. I am still very close to a lot of those girls today. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXPERIENCE WITH THE ROCK CHALK DANCERS? McCroskey. I remember going to the Final Four with the men's basketball team one year. That was the same year we were the Cinderella team.

There is something about the KU spirit that hasn't changed. It has just gotten bigger and bigger and more exciting every year. Schimke: I remember my first time marching in the parade and throwing candy to the kids. It's a heartwarming experience because it gives you a chance to be more one-on-one with your fans. It is incredible to see how many people come back to KU each year. Seeing the fan base grow and grow each year, and seeing all the people who come all the way back just for one weekend because it means so much to them, means a lot to me.

Homecoming as a student was always a great time because it seemed like the entire campus came to life with enthusiastic Jayhawks everywhere just taking in every part of Lawrence. All of them were always ready to share what they loved about the University and their experience as a student. As an alum, any time I come back to Lawrence for homecoming it takes me back to some of the best days of my life. Right when I pull into town, the nostalgia starts to hit me. I remember things like setting my room up for the first time with all of the new stuff I brought to start living on my own to some of the great moments like when KU made it to the Final Four and we all packed Wescoe Beach to celebrate. There were so many great moments for me at KU and it is always a great feeling to come back to Lawrence. SINCE YOU WERE A YELL LEADER, WAS HOMECOMING MORE ENJOYABLE? As a yell leader, I believe my Rose HOW WERE OTHER HOMECOMINGS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES? M. SMITH experience of homecoming was unique because I got to take in the atmosphere of game day at Memorial Stadium. No I am sure that everyone had responsibilities and events during homecoming and that everyone enjoyed the experience. The only thing that was probably different for me, as a yell leader, was that matter how the football team was doing, Memorial Stadium was always filled the most on homecoming day. Getting to be on the field looking up into the stands at all of the people enjoying the experience made it a great day for me. I always thought of my role as a yell leader as a representative of the University and I wanted to show the alumni that KU was still being represented well. We always had alumni cheer squad members back and on the field with us and it was great to talk with them about their experiences. Edited by Chas Strobel we had a schedule of events throughout the day that kept me busy from early in the morning until late into the afternoon. I think a different vantage point was really the only difference. I was essentially performing throughout the day and others were taking the day in! I enjoyed my role and responsibilities as a yell leader and appreciated the opportunity to do it for four years. I am still one of the Jayhawks' biggest fans and have passed the Jayhawk passion on to my wife and three children, ages seven, five and three. We are always wearing crimson and blue on game days. The kids all know the Rock Chalk chant and even get some of the words to the alma mater right as they put their arms around each other and sway back and forth. Really, the entire experience of being a yell leader was incredible for me. I developed tremendous friendships and got to experience so many incredible things. On top of that, representing the University of Kansas is something I enjoyed then and now. Rock Chalk! tdehart@kansan.com Marching Jayhawk, Marsha Hanenberger, junior from Rochester, Mim. Band brings tradition to gameday ITOM DEHART HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THE COLORGUARD AT KU? In high school, I was on the guard team for three years. The last two of those years I was elected captain of the team and had to write and choreograph the work that went into the shows. When I started looking at universities my senior year of high school I decided I had to be part of a marching band because the friends you make through band end up being like family. This idea was incredibly important to me since I was moving so far away from my hometown. So, after a lot of research through my different options, I obviously chose KU. There are so many awesome traditions affiliated with the band here. All I had to do to sign up was register for BAND 210 and audition at a camp before the start of the season to get on the team. Of course to actually get on the team I had to have previous marching experience and enough technique with a flag to know what I was doing. I also had to show that I could learn quick enough under pressure since we spin a new routine and learn an entire new show every home game. WHY DO YOU ENJOY GAMEDAY SO MUCH? The pregame is awesome. My favorite part of it has got to be the run on to the field. The drums come out on the field and although the student section hasn't really showed up yet, the alumni have, and the band is an important aspect of the alumni experience. You can hear all the people cheering as we come running down the stairs from the tunnels and onto the field, and the energy stays pumped for the rest of the show. Our first performance of the game really sets the stage for how excited people are for the game afterwards. It's like a warm up for the crowd before they get to see our football team. My second favorite part of pregame is our alma mater. Hearing "Crimson and the Blue" being sung all the way around the stadium at such an impressive volume gives me chills every time.

They're participating in Chalk n' Rock, a homecoming event that allows student organizations and groups to chalk up a square on Wescoe beach. Chalk 'n' Rock allows students to showcase their artistic side and what KU and homecoming means to them. Students must incorporate this year's theme for homecoming, Jayhawks Around the World, into their designs. Danny Sanchez, coordinator of Chalk 'n' Rock, said the theme is very open-ended. "They (students) can take it very literal or interpret it however they want." Sanchez said. "It will be cool to see how their drawing relates." After 2 p.m., judges will come around to each square and pick a winner as well as second and third places. Zach Brown, a fourth year architecture student from Liberty, Mo., participated last year with his fraternity, Lambda Chi Delta. It isn't always about winning." Brown said. "Honestly, when we were designing the concept we weren't even thinking about if it would be the competition winning entry or not. We were just having fun with it and trying out the first ideas that came to our heads." Chalking was a way for he and his fraternity brothers to bond. "We had a blast designing and creating it together, so in the long run that is all that matters in my opinion," he said. "The fact that our entry did well in the competition is just icing on the cake." In addition to Chalk 'n' Rock, there is a mural contest on Wednesday from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. where students display the theme for homecoming using paints and a canvas. The contest will also have first, second and third prizes. The murals will be displayed in the Office of Multicultural Affairs after judging ends. They can then be donated to Rock Chalk Ball, an annual event in April where students and alumni celebrate achievements and traditions while raising money for the United Way of Douglas County. - Edited by Emma LeGault CHECK OUT MORE HOMECOMING COVERAGE ON KANSAN.COM JOIN US!

But is a Massachusetts Street Homecoming parade one of those things? From 1984 to 1990, homecoming parades took place downtown on Massachusetts Street. Since then, they've been held on Jayhawk Boulevard. And that seems like a logical place for it to be. But this year, the parade is moving back to Mass. Originally, the parade was set for the night of Oct. 4, but Late Night at the Phog went in the way. Steering Committee member Holly Lafferty was one of the masterminds behind the change. "We were originally planning on doing it on campus on Friday [Oct. 4] at 6 p.m. but, because they moved Late Night to that Friday, we decided to move it to Thursday [Oct. 3]...we decided it was a good opportunity to change it up and move to Mass Street again." Jennifer Sanner, senior vice president for communications at the Adams Alumni Center, agrees with the move. "It makes a lot of sense to have [the parade] downtown on Thursday when you have Late Night on Friday and all the excitement it brings. Why not extend the excitement to another evening?" And it's going to be exciting. Keeping with this year's theme, Jayhawks Around the World, alumnus Brian McLendon will act as grand marshal for the parade. "We thought, 'How cool would it be to have Jayhawks Around the World and have the creator of Google Earth be [grand marshall!]?" Lafferty said. Elle Rose of the Steering Committee said, "We as a committee decided who we were going to invite [to be grand marshal]. We knew McLendon... was a KU alum and we were dead-set on that." with this year's lineup of Google royalty and fresh scenery, the homecoming parade is not something to be missed. It will take place on Thursday, Oct. 3 at 6 p.m. Afterwards, be sure to catch a peep rally at 8th Street and New Hampshire. - Edited by James Ogden K KANSAN FILE PHOTO ALUMNUS Brian McLendon to lead parade The homecoming parade grand marshal this year is Brian McClendon, Google Earth co-creator and 1986 University A.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR THIS COMPANY? I work as a publishing executive for the Middle East's largest magazine and media publishers. This means I get to work on a number of projects across our consumer and business titles, including "Harper's Bazaar Arabia," "Professional Jeweler," "Cosmopolitan Middle East," "Grazia," "Good Housekeeping Middle East" and "Time Out Dubai/Abu Dhabi/Qatar," etc. I tend to lean more toward editorial and marketing work, whether it is putting together a special supplement, coming up with concepts, executing an event, advising on design or liaising with the advertising team on new business. A career in media in the Middle East poses its own challenges and advantages—in many ways it is expanding here where other world markets are struggling. HOW DID BEING A JAYHAWK ENHANCE YOUR EXPERIENCE? Almost everywhere I've been in the world I've found common ground with someone about the university. Whether it's attending KU Alumni events when I'm in London visiting family, or Final Four watch parties with friends in Africa, UK, or the Middle East. I even found fellow Jayhawk fans in Syria. I was walking home from my gym in Damascus one day, wearing a much-loved Jayhawk t-shirt when out of nowhere, from across the street I heard a loud 'Rock Chalk Jayhawk!' The Jayhawk Nation extends a lot further than I ever could have imagined.

I lived in Merida, Spain for one year's time following my graduation from KU. I resided in Extremadura, which is on the very western edge of the country and is nestled on the border with Portugal, from August 2008 to 2009. My residence abroad also coincided with the 2008 recession, which I experienced from an international perspective, as well as the 2008 presidential election. WHAT COMPANY DID YOU WORK FOR? WHAT DID YOU DO FOR THIS COMPANY? During my year in Spain, I was employed by the Ministry of Education of the autonomous region of Extremadura. Each week I taught English conversation courses to middle and high school students at two institutes named Sáenz de Buruaga and Ruta de la Plata. The ministry placed other native English speakers from a variety of countries—namely England, Australia, Canada and Scotland—at other public schools around the region. HOW DID BEING A JAYHAWK ENHANCE YOUR EXPERIENCE OVERSEAS? As a student, I'd already studied abroad twice through the encouragement of the university and my professors, which prepared me for the rigors and challenges of immersing myself in another culture. My language skills were more advanced than that of my peers and I'd already ventured to learn several additional languages thanks to the vast offerings at the university, [One language was] Portugalese, which came in handy during a field trip to Évora, Portugal, when I became the translator between my Spanish students and the Portuguese students at the school we were visiting. During my classes at the university we hadn't focused solely on grammar and conversation, but also culture which was a huge factor in my seamless transition to Spain. ALEXANDRA MAYNARD CHEYENNE HANSEN France STUDENT WHERE DID YOU STUDY ABROAD AND DURING WHAT YEAR OF COLLEGE? I studied abroad in Paris, France for the Summer Language Institute in Paris during the summer between my junior and senior years. WHAT FAVORITE MEMORY DO YOU HAVE OF YOUR EXPERIENCE? I have so many favorite memories. I loved the tour portion of the trip where we toured around France from Normandy to Brittany to the Loire Valley. It really cemented our bond as a group. I also loved getting to explore Paris in our free time. The last two nights we were there, me and a couple of my friends went to the carnival in Tuileries Garden and rode all of the carnival rides. It was such an awesome view of Paris at night and was the perfect way to cap off the trip WHAT DID YOU LEARN BY STUDYING ABROAD? learned a lot about cultural differences. We take a lot of things for granted here in the States (air conditioning, for example, which Paris does not have). It's so interesting to not only see the world, but to see it from a different cultural perspective. I feel more independent and like I can handle any problem that comes at me I went from crying every night because I missed home to crying because I had to leave France. If I can handle language barrier issues and living in a completely foreign city for a month, I feel like I can handle anything. HOW DID THE COUNTRY YOU VISITED DIFFER FROM THE US? France is very different from the U.S. When I got there, I hated the food. I couldn't find anything I wanted to eat, because it was just so different. The longer I was there, the more I grew to appreciate the differences and enjoy my experiences. I even tried escargot! Also, Parisians have a reputation in the U.S. for being rather rude, but that's not true at all. It's just another cultural difference. Parisians are more straightforward and don't sugarcoat things like Americans do, but that doesn't make them rude. It's a difficult adjustment, but you soon learn that in a big city like that, their demeanor is very understandable and appropriate. VORANOUTH SUPANDULA Germany STUDENT WHAT FAVORITE MEMORY DO YOU HAVE OF YOUR EXPERIENCE? WHERE DID YOU STUDY ABROAD AND DURING WHAT YEAR OF COLLEGE? I studied in Trier, Germany, in the spring semester of 2013. I have too many favorite memories, but one of them would be spending time with my German roommates. We would cook together many evenings, even though they knew I wasn't a great cook (I was a star vegetable chopper though) and afterwards we would have movie nights. The great thing was that my roommates were nearly vegetarians, but also very athletic. WHAT DID YOU LEARN BY STUDYING ABROAD? I learned a lot about tolerance, patience and understanding. During my ten day trip to Luxembourg for a class, I faced teachers who barely spoke English. Communication was rough and I became frustrated many times. However, I knew that if I gave it time and tried again and again I would be able to get through it. I had to be understanding; if I were teaching a student who couldn't understand me, I could only do so much. Instead we communicated by action, gestures, and drawings. I also learned to enjoy life and socialize more often. School in Germany is quite different from school in the US (more laid back). The University of Kansas' Graphic Design program is pretty demanding, in a good way, but it was nice to take a stroll and enjoy the little things in a foreign place. My roommate would always tell me I need to socialize more. I didn't realize it was such a problem, but because of school I sacrificed a lot of my social life. I'm glad I was able to have a laid back setting, because I learned to appreciate things I didn't before and realize the differences between Europe and the US. Finally, I learned that we are pretty well off in the United States. We are very privileged in getting many free things (like free public toilets or refills for drinks), having freedom in general, and being "bigger, better [and] faster." The life in the US seems to be a lot faster and more convenient, whereas in Europe I was able to take it slow and walk around. HOW DID THE COUNTRY YOU VISITED DIFFER FROM THE US (FOOD, WHAT WAS GOOD OR BAD ABOUT IT, CULTURE, ETC.)? I talked about it before, but many things differed from the U.S. Germany was a little more conservative than I was used to. My roommate was a political science and journalism major, so I definitely kept up to date with what was going on in the world. One thing that drove me crazy was that on Sundays nearly everything was closed because Europe is largely Catholic. Germany is great in being very walkable and leaning more toward a village-city than 'suburbia.' Germany is also one of the cleanest, most sustainable countries I've been in (I traveled to seven different countries during my semester stay); everyone separated trash from recyclables and the streets were cleaned every day. During the school year, it seemed like there was a holiday every other week. Germany has a lot of celebrations and festivals, they really know how to party. Another wonderful thing about Germany is the bread selection; it makes American bread taste like paper. I miss it dearly. CATRIN DAVIES Wales STUDENT I've traveled around the States before and the places I went were lovely, but I didn't want to go somewhere where I would go on holiday. I wanted real people and real culture. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO? SO FAR, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT KANSAS? Probably the first football game, because I've never been to anything like it. When we got there it was so hot, but I thought it was worth it. We followed the band inside and they were playing, and I remember, I turned to my friend and said that this is just like being in Disneyland. It was so surreal. It's not just students who come, but also the past students and faculty and friends. It's nothing like that back home. I mean, when the anthem came on there was a fly by. It was amazing for a school, but it didn't make sense. When something is so different than what you're expecting or used to, you just don't know how to take it. It was just... wow.

I mean my two years at KU were one huge 'study abroad' thing. I was an international student from Russia on a Fulbright scholarship. WHAT COMPANY DO YOU WORK FOR IN MOSCOW? ALUMNI Upon my arrival I got an editorial job with Russia Today, a big international TV channel. I worked there on the interview show "Spotlight." Now I'm in the process of getting a new job in a major Russian production company which makes videos for several TV channels. HOW DID BEING A JAYHAWK ENHANCE YOUR EXPERIENCE AND THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN? First of all, my English level has risen extremely, which gives me a certain advantage in the Russian job market. My internships with Al Jazeera and my work for KUJH-TV and the Kansan gave me hands-on experience I needed to enter a media job market. I learned how to conduct research, which it never hurts to know. But what I value most is that I met so many wonderful people at the university. They are all different, yet amazing. I wish I could have spent more time learning from them. RANDY VIDALES Turkey. ALUMNI WHAT DO YOU DO IN TURKEY? I currently work as an English Education Consultant at a private school called Akansu Koleji here in Kayseri, Turkey. I teach English to 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders, as well as doing private lessons with students and adults alike. I love my job, and although the students are difficult to control at times, I do enjoy seeing the looks on their faces when they understand what I try to teach them. WHAT IS IT LIKE LIVING OVERSEAS? It is absolutely frightening living in a country you you've knowledge of, regarding the culture and the language, and it forces you to learn as much as you can. I've only been here for a short time and I have had to learn some Turkish to get around and to communicate with locals. They seem very receptive of me speaking in their tongue. Their encouragement and words of praise are very powerful factors that encourage you to keep learning the country's culture and language.

Some coaches from the U.S. were recruiting in Brazil and I decided to go to Kansas because at the time I did not speak any English and Kansas was the only team with other Brazilians. WHAT YEAR DID YOU GRADUATE? I graduated in 2006 with a degree in Communications Studies. WHAT'S YOUR EXPERIENCE OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY? Experience outside my country was very hard during the first three months, but things were better when I started to meet new people and when my English was also getting better. WHY DID YOU BECOME A JAYHAWK? WHY DID YOU BECOME A JAYHAWK? I became a Jayhawk for two reasons. First, because I decided to go a school where there were others Brazilians that could help me with the language, and second, because Coach Jill Jones was the nicest coach [out of] all of the Americans recruiting. HOW HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE ABROAD IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? My experience abroad has had a huge impact in my life. At first when I graduated and I went to Europe to play volleyball, I could talk to anyone in English everywhere I went. Now in Brazil in order to have a good job you need to speak good English as well. Going to a school outside my country has opened many doors for me in my professional career. ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LOVE TO SHARE? I am very happy and very proud to be a Jayhawk. I could not have chosen a better school to go to. Rock Chalk Jayhawk.

My sister already goes to school at KU so that was one of the reasons, and also given that the rest of my family lives in Topeka, it is closer to home. I heard a lot of good things about KU business, which was what I was mostly interested in and still STUDENT WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO KU? STUDENT WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO KU? I really loved the school spirit here. It's the real America. I watched some of the videos they have about the university and they were really good. I thought it was just something completely new and I'm the kind of person who likes to just plunge into something new. SO FAR, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT KANSAS? I think it's just meeting all the different people. The first couple of weeks I hung out with the international students and got to know them and then after that I met a few American people and since then I've been closer to them. I'm in a fraternity, which is kind of cool, and doing all the events and everything has been amazing. I think Lawrence is my favorite part of Kansas because it's very liberal and you can be yourself. Everyone's really friendly and it's homey here. HOW HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE ABROAD MADE YOUR JAYHAWK EXPERIENCE UNIQUE? Studying abroad is definitely something I've always wanted to do, and it's met my expectations. I think I've grown so much as a person and it's so rewarding. When I left home I was more of a boy, but I know how to be independent now and my parents don't really worry about me like they did a year ago. I know how to do things on my own to get by and get around the country. You have to learn how to be street smart and book smart. If you don't do this, you're not going to pick it up until later in your life, like in your job. It good to do this when you're in school and young, and I think it's something that's really enriched me. IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE, WOULD YOU COME BACK TO KANSAS AFTER YOUR STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE IS OVER? I'd definitely visit here. I have a lot of friends here. am. Tuition and basketball played a factor in my decision as well. SO FAR, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT KU/KANSAS? My favorite part about KU is the basketball games. I was lucky enough to attend one once and it was an awesome experience. I do plan on going to more games this year and making time. Also the people I have met and the friends that I have made. The good thing about KU is that it is truly multicultural. I have met so many people from my country, Nigeria, which is great because we have HALEY STREED Italy STUDENT WHERE DID YOU STUDY ABROAD AND DURING WHAT YEAR OF COLLEGE? I studied abroad this past summer for eight weeks in Florence, Italy. I only studied the Italian language and culture (this was the summer before my junior year). WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY OF YOUR EXPERIENCE? My favorite memory of studying abroad was traveling to all of the different places in Italy and visiting London! I went to Venice, Rome, Chianti, Naples, Sorento, Almafi Coast, Cinque Terre, and Termoli to name a few. It was an incredible experience filled with little sleep, indescribable views and breathtaking sunsets, along with lots of wine and cheese. WHAT DID YOU LEARN BY STUDYING ABROAD? While studying abroad I learned more about myself. For example, I feel as though I can navigate any type of transportation, anywhere in the country. In Florence I walked most places, and ventured to take the city bus a few times. We traveled by bus and by train almost every weekend. And of course we flew to London. Not only that, but I feel as though I can conquer any metro system anywhere after taking on the London Tube rails. Those can be very confusing and scary, but I managed just fine. I finally realized how much I love America. We take so many things for granted that I was missing and wish I had in mid-July. Some of these things include free water in restaurants, as well as being able to drive a car. In restaurants you must pay to drink water, and it is about 3.50 Euro, which is close to $5. So I just ordered wine because it was usually the same price, if not cheaper. I missed being able to drive everywhere and be in control of when and at what time I showed up to a specific event or location. We take that privilege for granted living here and basically driving everywhere, every day. I really missed that. that common bond. Also being a part of the African Student Association is really fun and great because I have met people from other African countries and also learned about their culture. KATIE MARTIN STUDENT WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO LIVE ABROAD THIS SUMMER, AND WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHILE THERE? I am a global and international studies major and a Spanish major. I have always been eager to learn about different societies' histories and cultures. I chose to travel to Europe because I wanted to learn more about the EU. While in Seville, Spain, I took two summer classes and traveled on weekends throughout Spain and Portugal with my group. At the end of my trip I had the opportunity to travel to London to meet up with some of my family members for the first time, which was a blast! WHAT DID YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT SPAIN AND YOUR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE THERE, AND HOW WAS IT DIFFERENT FROM LIVING IN LAWRENCE? In Seville, I absolutely loved having a big lunch every day where the entire family came home for family time and even played cards sometimes. The gastronomy of Spain is so unique; I recommend everyone try it someday. But my favorite experiences in Seville were the times my roommate and I would go to the market, or swimming, or just out and about with our host mom, Josefa. She was so caring and taught us so much about the daily life and the history of Andalusia. In Seville, everyone would be out and about until early in the AM, just catching up with friends, dancing or going to the bull fights. During the heat of the day, I was always surprised to see older folks with their canes walking all over the place and hardly breaking a sweat. People mainly walked or took the tram. The pace of life is different than it is here in Lawrence because not everything is rushed. They are very heartfelt people there who are very proud of their immaculate city and all its historic landmarks. WHAT DID YOU MISS MOST ABOUT AND WHAT MADE YOU MOST GLAD TO BE BACK? Really, I still miss Spain a lot. It was a good fit for me. However, I like having more space here in my Lawrence apartment because our home-stay was very quaint. Also, I just like being able to communicate with my family and friends, because we are in the same time zone. DO YOU HAVE FUTURE PLANS TO TRAVEL OR LIVE ABROAD? As of right now, I plan to return to Spain over Christmas break. Also, I am hoping to spend three weeks in Jerusalem during the summer of 2014 with my church. It would be my dream to have a job that allows me to travel abroad. I will just have to see what the future has in store for me.

I love KU because of the atmosphere. Almost everyone here is proud to be a Jayhawk. HOW HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE ABROAD IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? I definitely feel very accepting of other cultures and love traveling and eating international food. SETH BROOKS SPAIN STUDENT WHERE DID YOU GO ABROAD, AND WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHILE THERE? I studied at the University of Costa Rica in San José for a semester for two primary reasons. First, I had taken Spanish classes at KU, which made me interested in the language, and I had some [people] in my family who told me that to learn to speak it you have to go live in a foreign country. I had also lived in Lawrence my whole life, and, even though I love it, I wanted a new experience on my own. COSTA RICA, AND HOW WAS IT DIFFERENT FROM LIVING IN LAWRENCE? The feel around campus was very different. It's more of a social place in Costa Rica with a lot of areas designated for just hanging out. People do that on campus here, but not on the same level. It seemed like people would stay on campus for extra time just to hang out with friends. Also, class length was different as each class typically met once a week for three to five hours. And of course taking class in a different language was difficult, but I had very positive teachers who were willing to help.

WHAT ARE YOU STUDYING AT KU? Strategic Communications. It was my dream since 15 years old to study in the U.S.A. and play tennis for a college team, I think that the University of Kansas is a great place to combine both educational and athletic parts at a good level. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE USA? I like the atmosphere here, how people are ready to help each other. Probably the thing I like most so far is how important and serious everything is about athletics. Being a student-athlete here and in Latvia are two totally different things. There's no such thing as college sports [in Latvia]. DO YOU THINK LIVING ABROAD IMPACTED YOUR FUTURE PLANS? I still haven't decided...whether I want to stay here or move back to Europe, but I think that living abroad now is quite beneficial for me in order to understand what exactly I want to do in my future life. DO YOU THINK LIVING ABROAD MAKES YOUR JAYHAWK EXPERIENCE UNIQUE? As [far] I know, there are a lot of international athletes in KU, but being from Latvia makes it more unique maybe. MARIO KOOS Company STUDENT WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO KU? KU is a "partner university" of the University of Stuttgart. Within these partner universities in the US, I wanted to choose a University with a good reputation in Computer Science and I wanted to visit a part of the US which isn't that well known from movies or TV series. SO FAR, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT KUANSA/S KU's campus is really beautiful, and Kansas City and Lawrence are really nice towns. WHAT ABOUT YOUR JAYHAWK EXPERIENCE IS UNIQUE COMPARED TO YOUR OTHER UNIVERSITY? One of the main differences here compared to the student life in Germany is that the students and the University seem to be much more related. The students show much more of their connection to the University, which makes you feel that you are a part of it as a whole. IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE, WOULD YOU COMEBACK TO KANSA'S AFTER YOUR STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE IS OVER? So far I like Kansas and Lawrence very much. The people are very friendly and helpful.

The organizations with the most points at the end of the week will be announced at halftime at the Oct. 5 football game and will win a trophy. Marquez said the book drive has become one of the most popular activities that promote homecoming week competition while giving back to the community. "It's a great benefit to students in the Lawrence and Douglas County area," Krehbiel said. "Great for educational purposes and supporting education, learning and growth for students and children in this area." All donations are welcome at the bookstore, but student life and Greek organizations that are competing to accumulate homecoming points are required to take donations to the Alumni is organizing the collected books and distributing them to the United Way.

STUDENT I picked five different schools to do my study abroad/exchange program. KU was one of them, and my home university picked KU for me. WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR AND WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO AFTER YOUR TIME AT KU? Sports science. I want to do sports management so I'll go to a graduate school with a sports management program. LIZZIE OGDEN England STUDENT WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO KU? STUDENT For my course you have to go abroad and I wanted a big college town, so KU fit the description quite well. The social aspect is my favorite. I've met a lot of people and since it's such a big campus there's always so much going on. SO FAR, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT KU/ KANSAS? HOW HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE ABROAD MADE YOUR JAYHAWK EXPERIENCE UNIQUE? I guess because it was such a big move and the whole university system is different, so I'd say the culture shock of being here is pretty unique. IF YOU HAD THE CHANCE, WOULD YOU COME BACK TO KANSAS AFTER YOUR STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCE IS OVER? I definitely want to come back to KU to visit. So far I'm really enjoying it.

Most upperclassmen are used to the hustle and bustle of the pre-homecoming events, but freshmen can get lost in the whirlwind of college tradition. It may lead them to ask: what exactly is homecoming? "I don't really know what to expect from homecoming," said Brandon Tomas, a freshman from Wichita. "I didn't even know there was one. I guess I expect food and dancing and some kind of entertainment." Another freshman, Sanjay Parashar from Overland Park, also isn't sure exactly what events homecoming week will hold. "Is there a dance?" Parashar asked. "Is there homecoming royalty? I've actually been to a couple homecoming games in Arkansas, so I kind of know the football aspect of it. I'm excited to see the student perspective." "When I was a freshman, I didn't really know what it was going to be," said Emily Poppe, a senior from Omaha. Neb. "I didn't understand the magnitude of the whole week. When I participated in the parade and saw all of the events they did throughout the week. I was blown away and realized I wasn't in high school anymore." For those who have not experienced a college homecoming, it's a common misconception that there's a traditional dance like in many high schools. Sierra Franklin, a senior from Wichita, agreed with Poppe. She said she hadn't had any idea what she was getting into during her first University homecoming, but she wished she had been more involved during her freshman year. "My advice would be to just enjoy ny. Franklin said. "If you happen to meet alums during the weekend, embrace them and gain some of their knowledge and experience because they've been in our spots as students before and they have a little insight of what life is like after the hill." But just a tip, don't walk on the chalk'n rock murals unless you want a bunch of people glaring at you. People are serious about their chalking. Other than that, just have fun and find all of the reasons why you love this university." —Edited by Paige Lytle A One of the first opportunities for freshmen to learn KU traditions and join the crowd is the homecoming game on Oct. 5.
