Kansas Cheer Team decides to opt out of national competition
AMELIA ARVESEN
aarvesen@kansan.com
Beneath the enthusiasm and spirit the cheer team represents, there is a sense of disappointment among members. This year, the team has opted out of the Universal Cheerleaders Association College Cheerleading National Championship that will take place in Orlando, Fla.
For the 15 years Catherine Jarzemekoski has Spirit Squad director, the cheer team has competed in the event and progressively improved over time. However, a scheduling conflict this season presented them with a problem. Two important games of the men's basketball season, Oklahoma State and Baylor, span Jan. 18 to Jan. 20, which is the same weekend as Nationals.
"They're always excited to represent the team on the road, especially because we have so many alumni all over," Jarzemkoski said. "Wed never been faced with this before. It's a unique situation."
The final decision to skip the competition was announced to the cheerleaders by Jennifer Allee, assistant athletics director of marketing and fan experience, in a meeting on Sept. 9. She directed the team to discuss questions and concerns outside of the meeting.
"I can say personally, I was the first one to shed a tear," said cheerleader Kelly Kerr, a junior from Denver who is part of the leadership team. "No one knew the right emotion to feel."
Hundreds of teams gather each year in Orlando to represent their
schools, where they are separated into groups based on divisions. The University's cheer team competes in one of the most prestigious divisions — Large Coed Division 1.
"When you step out on the floor wearing Kansas across your chest, it's such a proud moment," Kerr said.
Brushing disappointment aside, Jarzemkski and Kerr both said the cheer team expects a successful season at home and on the road. Jim Marchiony, the associate athletic director, said he was supportive of the decision.
"We believe the most important part of Spirit Squad is to support our team," Marchiony said. "We are appreciative of the Spirit Squad and all that they do."
On Nov. 12, the men's basketball
team will play Duke in Chicago, and the cheer team will follow. Additionally, the cheerleaders will accompany them to the "Battle 4 Atlantis" tournament in the Bahamas over Thanksgiving break.
Kerr said the team is looking forward to traveling. She said although the team's humble confidence and national pride helps them to feel welcomed anywhere, it is always nerve-racking to be away from home turf.
Fans can learn the cheers and celebrate the start of basketball season this Friday at Late Night in the Phog in Allen Fieldhouse.
"That feeling of 16,000 people wanting you to do well happens nowhere other than Allen Fieldhouse," Kerr said.

Government shutdown starts, affects many
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — From New York's Liberty Island to Alaska's Denali National Park, the U.S.government closed its doors as a bitter budget fight idled hundreds of thousands of federal workers and halted all but the most critical government services for the first time in nearly two decades.
children and preteens.
For many employees of the federal government, Tuesday's shutdown meant no more paychecks as they were forced onto unpaid furloughs. For those still working, it meant delays in getting paid.
A midnight deadline to avert a shutdown passed amid Congressional bickering, casting in doubt Americans' ability to get government services ranging from federally-backed home loans to supplemental food assistance for children and pregnant women.
Park Ranger and father-to-be Darquez Smith said he already lives paycheck-to-paycheck while putting himself through college.
"I've got a lot on my plate right now — tuition, my daughter, bills," said Smith, 23, a ranger at Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park in Ohio. "I'm just confused and waiting just like everyone else."
The impact of the shutdown was mixed - immediate and farreaching for some, annoying but minimal for others.
In Colorado, where flooding killed eight people earlier this month, emergency funds to help rebuild homes and businesses continued to flow — but federal worker furloughs were expected to slow it down.
National Guard soldiers rebuilding washed-out roads would apparently be paid on time — along with the rest of the country's active-duty personnel — under a bill passed hours before the
shutdown. Existing Social Security and Medicare benefits, veterans' services and mail delivery were also unaffected.
Other agencies were harder hit nearly 3,000 Federal Aviation Administration safety inspectors were furloughed along with most of the National Transportation Safety Board's employees, including accident investigators who respond to air crashes, train collisions, pipeline explosions and other accidents.
Almost all of NASA shut down, except for Mission Control in Houston, and national parks closed along with the Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo. Even the zoo's popular panda cam went dark, shut off for the first time since a cub was born there Aug. 23.
since a clerot was born three years ago As the shutdown loomed Monday, visitors to popular parks made their frustration with elected officials clear.
"There is no good thing going to come out of it," said Chris Fahl, a tourist from Roanoke, Ind., visiting the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park in Hodgenville, Ky. "Taxpayers are just going to be more overburdened."
going
Emily Enfinger, visiting the Statue of Liberty, said politicians need to find a way to work together.
"They should be willing to compromise, both sides, and it discourages me that they don't seem to be able to do that," she said. "They're not doing their job as far as I'm concerned."
Joe Wentz, a retired federal employee from Lebanon, Va., visiting San Francisco with his wife, bought tickets to visit Alcatraz on Thursday — if it's open.
wentz said he's frustrated that some politicians are using the budget to push changes in the Affordable Care Act.

Kansas Appleseed is a part of a network of 17 Appleseed "justice centers" throughout the United States and one center in Mexico. The centers help foster collaboration between community groups, attorneys and volunteers in order to assist marginalized citizens.
It seemed like an average day in Spanish 340 for Claire Maclachlan until a guest speaker came into the room to talk about volunteer opportunities with a new organization. His name was Benet Magnuson and the organization was Kansas Appleseed.

Nonprofit provides valuable experience, perspective
While it has existed since 1999, Kansas Appleseed came to campus in mid-August. Its office, located in Green Hall, consists of a board of distinguished staff and directors and specifically focuses on issues related to children, immigrants and an impartial judicial system.

SERVICE
"My job is to coordinate the resources of my board, of the organization, of the community and get people organized and directed towards the social justice goals around kids, around immigrants.
One of the University's incredible resources is its students. Part of Magnuson's outreach effort is to recruit students as volunteers for Kansas Appleseed, which he has been doing through visits to different classes. Potential volunteers can contribute in a variety of ways, ranging from research and social media outreach, to development projects.

He said that Lawrence is the perfect city for this organization because of the students and its proximity to larger populations.

"Lawrence is a great location because it's right next to Kansas City, it's right next to Topeka, and you have KU here, which is an incredible resource."

Deloitte CFO, KU alumnus visits with students
ASHLEIGH TIDWELL

University of Kansas alumnus and Deloitte CFO Frank Friedman was at KU to speak to students and faculty
Being smart is not necessarily a guarantee for success. Rather, what makes someone successful is the ability to stay focused and work hard.
Such is the advice of Frank Friedman, a university alumnus and chief financial officer for Deloitte LLP. Friedman visited the University yesterday to talk to business students about his career, how the University helped him to attain his goals and what students can do to steer themselves into fulfilling careers.
MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN
Friedman attributes much of his success to the University, especially the help of his professors in pushing him to do his best.
"My professors inspired me to go
into accounting and they encouraged me," Friedman said. "Some of them were great mentors for me."

"My professors inspired me to go into accounting and they encouraged me."
However, his journey came with plenty of challenges, one of the biggest being the amount of change he's been through since his start at the firm.
"When I started moving up through the company I had a new job every couple years," Friedman said. "One of the biggest things is that you have to learn to

With his lectures at the University, he hoped to show students that it's okay to
fail and that their setbacks should not discourage them from pursuing their dreams.
"They will learn far more from their failures than they ever will from their successes," Friedman said.
Friedman has learned what his strengths and weaknesses are through the challenges he experienced in his career. His hope is that students will learn these things about themselves through

Government shutdown won't affect health care
Fear and speculation surrounding the federal budget deadline have officially come to fruition, as today the U.S. government has shut down in lieu of a decision being made.
This shutdown will concern all non-essential government programs,but it's not likely that students will see the effects permeating aspects of daily life here in Lawrence. Although there are a number of programs and services that will cease until further notice, students will not have to worry about addressing any imminent health concerns in the meantime.
Watkins Health Center receives its funding through fees assessed to students in their tuition compacts and as a result is not affiliated with the federal government in any way.
"Since we are not a government entity this shutdown will have absolutely no impact on our services," said Interim Director Joe Gillespie.
Conversely, Lawrence Memorial Hospital is affiliated with the federal government in the sense that they accept Medicaid and Medicare insurance plans. Despite this fact, officials at the hospital are confident that this shutdown will not have an immediate impact on them.
"Due to the fact that we treat all patients whether they have insurance or not, this shutdown won't make a large impact on us right away," said Belinda Rehmer, communications coordinator at LMH. "Patients shouldn't see any difference in their treatment or care."
It seems that barring a prolonged shutdown of the federal government, students should see no change in the healthcare that they are provided in Lawrence. Students with health concerns should contact their insurance and primary care providers to see how this shutdown could affect them, should it become a long-term issue.

ANDY LARKIN/KANSAN
Civil engineering doctoral student Huan Cheng, a Chinese native, loves to sing. In fact, she loves it so much, she has spent every Friday evening for the last year singing with the best friends she's made in her time at the University. And she's picked up her fair share of English along the way. For the University and for groups dedicated to the integration of international students like Cheng into the American cultural experience, she is a success story.
Students meet on and off campus to visit as a part of International Friends. The group aims to foster multicultural learning.
Cheng is part of the multicultural campus group International Friends, an English-learning co-op of international students reaching out for language lessons and the American students who answer this call. At the heart of International Friends is the conversation partners program, which pairs an international student with an American student for weekly one-hour language sessions to help improve non-native speakers' English conversation skills.
"These things sort of bleed into everything else," Andydshak said. "So we may teach them how to drive, one partner may take an international student shopping with them, and it becomes much more than just teaching someone how to speak."
Len Andyshak, International Friends' director, knows from experience how genuine and complex these relationships often become.
The one-on-one time experienced by 60 of KU's international students is a trademark of the program. It leads to the friendships between partners that International Friends prides itself on and that the University sees as an integral part of international student operations.
Andyshak began the program 18 years ago after returning from a trip to the Ukraine. He recalls having a great support network of Ukrainian university students who helped him understand the ins and outs of the culture during his extended stay. They provided him with language lessons, and even taught him to navigate smaller everyday situations such as paying his electric bill.
"It's really an extension of my memories of how vulnerable I felt when I first lived overseas," he said of KU's program.
"At a number of college campuses, the University has an adversarial relationship with its Christian groups, like we're trying to proselytize" Andyshak said. "And I think the reason we've been successful is because KU doesn't look at us in this way. They really welcome our help."
Similarly, Cheng thinks fondly on her experiences with students that have helped her overcome the shock of transplanting herself from China to Kansas.
"It's a really, really amazing group," she said. "My best friend now is my conversation partner that I had last year. They work to encourage you, and they're always doing things to get you involved, like relaxing on weekends or going to church."
It may sound unusual to bond with students by inviting them to church, but this religious aspect is part of what makes the International Friends program and its relationship with the University unique.
Due to the difficulty of gaining the University's trust, few off-campus groups stick around for long, which has caused problems as the international presence on campus has expanded. International Student Services operates a similar conversation-based program
And so, when it comes to student groups that want to help, they're not picky.
"It takes a while to build a relationship of trust between the University and community groups both ways," he said. "It's rare to have a group like International Friends around as a resource for 18 years because a number of them begin competing early on with the University."
Chuck Olcese, Director of International Student Services for the University, agrees that non-campus groups often have an agenda that clouds the goal of helping international students gain as much as they can from their experience at KU.
"We're looking for people who want to get involved, no matter the group or their affiliation." Olese said. "People who want to have cultural interaction."
one from Malaysia and my partner now is from China," she said. "I've gotten a much broader worldview. You really get to learn a lot about their culture. And it really opens the floor for asking about their culture and hearing about their experiences that you normally wouldn't ask."
called Global Partners,but because they oversee all of the international students that come to KU and are responsible for more than just helping international students integrate,their resources are stretched thin.
Fortunately, it's that yearning to meet students from different backgrounds that inspires American students like Bethany Hiskey, a junior from Lenexa, to become friends and conversation partners to KU's international students. Hiskey has done so three times over the past two years.
Hiskey and Olcese both encourage American students to get involved with their international counterparts — whether for the desire to gain unique cultural experiences or out of a genuine concern for fellow students.
"I've had a partner from Japan,
"It's not very often that you can have an experience that changes your life," Olcese said. "Many of the students who get involved this way will say 'It did change my life, and it opened me up to a whole new group of friends.'"

Board of Regents submits proposal to restore funding
ASHLEIGH TIDWELL
afidwell@kansan.com
Meeting today's deadline by a wide margin, the Kansas Board of Regents submitted a proposal two weeks ago to Gov. Sam Brownback and the state Legislature requesting the restoration of about $30 million in higher education funding for the 2014-2015 fiscal year. But there's still a long way to go.
The proposal, which comes after this year's 1.5 percent budget reduction, is only in the beginning stages of the budget process and still has plenty of hurdles to clear before any changes can happen.
"Though the proposal has already been submitted, it could take all spring for a decision to be made," Richardson said.
First, the proposal must go to the governor for review and approval. If it is approved, the governor will include the proposal in his recommendations, which are then passed on to the state legislature for consideration. At this point, the Legislature can choose to apply the
changes to either the current academic year or the following academic year.
If the proposal gets through this process, it will be used to restore salary and wages, fund tiered technical education and pay for the new Health Education Building at the University of Kansas Medical Center, among other projects.
Breeze Richardson, associate director of communication and government relations for the Kansas Board of Regents, said that the Board has a responsibility to provide local colleges and universities with the necessary funding to operate and this proposal is their attempt to make sure schools are getting what they need.
"In the long run, the restoration of the budget would improve the Kansas economy by providing young adults with the opportunity to broaden their education," Richardson said.
to ensure that "60 percent of Kansas adults obtain a certificate, credential, associate's degree or bachelor's degree by 2020."
For the University, a restoration of these funds would be a great benefit to the Med Center.
According to a press release from the Board, the proposal was made with the Foresight 2020 plan in mind. The goal of Foresight 2020 is
Jack Martin, a University spokesman, said the Med Center took one of the largest overall cuts this year, and restoring those funds would help open up enrollment for their programs.
"This year they've had to lay off staff and reduce enrollment in their nursing program," Martin said. "If the funds are restored, we would be able to educate more nurses and doctors, which are in high demand in Kansas right now."
As part of the budget process, the Kansas Board of Regents will be touring each of the state's 32 institutions to assess each school's needs and the plans to improve the quality and efficiency of their programs. The Board's visit to the University is scheduled for Oct. 30.

too, but mostly [they see] how we can help our community be better represented and how we can help our community get what it really needs" she said.
Nicolette Edwards, a senior from Overland Park, has also begun volunteering for the organization by helping to bring in resources like funding. She was interested in the organization because the work they do is similar to her personal career goals.
Soon after Magnuson's appearance, she contacted him about volunteering with Kansas Appleseed. She is now researching and writing reviews the Deferred Action for Children Arrivals and The Dream Act and their impact in Kansas.
"I'm a Spanish and marketing major and what I want to do is help out at a nonprofit that helps Hispanics, so this is exactly what I want to do," she said. She added that her time at Kansas Appleseed will help her gain relevant experience to future potential employers when she graduates and looks for a job.
PAST SUCCESSES
"After receiving the scholarship I wanted to get involved and that's why I've been working with Gene," Scheve said. Gene Balloun, a creator of the scholarship program and board member for Kansas Appleseed, helped Scheve get a job at the law firm he works at after she graduate from college.
made an impact on Kansas.
Kansas Appleseed has a Kansas
Foster Children Adoption & Scholarship Program, which has given $500,000 in scholarships for foster youth. Anna Scheve, a recipient of one of the scholarships, said the scholarship helped her foster parents with some of their expenses and had a lasting impact.
While the organization is new and still growing, it has already made an impact on Kansas.
Jack Focht, the President of the Kansas Appleseed board, stated in an interview that the organization has also been successful in keeping in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, as well as trying to keep the Kansas Court system based on a merit-based system.
"I think one of the things we can offer to the KU community is a place where people who care about these issues and who have been wanting to get involved, can get involved and in a very coordinate way; were connected to a lot of resources across the state," Magnuson said.
LOOKING FORWARD As Magnuson looks to the future
of the organization, he hopes to continue Kansas Appleseed successes and to offer as many volunteer opportunities as possible.
He elaborated further saying, "If you're interested in advocacy sometimes it's harder to find a good connection where you're looking to put your academic training into practice and that's what Kansas Appleseed can offer to KU students."

We must not forget that some of the struggles that different genders deal with are not mutually exclusive. Instead of finding ourselves divided along blurred lines, we should do our best to look at things without bias and address them honestly, together.
One thing I have to get off my chest, since we are talking honestly, is that I think the oft-supported, female stance that men are the sole perpetrators of sexual assault is unfair, unwarranted, unjust and a bit hurtful. I suppose men have collectively brought it on themselves, and I don't want to make excuses for anyone. Sexual assault is life-altering. It's awful. One's attempts to forget only bring the memory back in even more vivid, agonizing detail. No amount of therapy, pills or drugs can ever return the innocence of before. The saddest part is that we
will wander the rest of our lives wondering what's so wrong with us, because of them.
Sexual assault against males goes notoriously underreported.
Here's how I imagine it going: "You had sex. Cool dude." Imagine the reaction if a guy told a room full of other guys that he was taken advantage of. That guy would be laughed at. There would be loud guffaws and cheers all around. Meanwhile the "reporter" swallows it back down and lets it seethe. After reaching out to people only to have them laugh in your face, why go through that again by reporting it? "It must not have been a big deal, or else they wouldn't have laughed."
This is more of a double stand and there are many cases that are parallel, but for whatever reason are assumed to only be experienced by one gender or another.

The media isn't just attacking the female body image. We can be united by our feelings of inadequacy! I've spent my life chasing a
dream, too. Seeing Brad Pitt with his shirt off in "Fight Club" made me realize that I was woefully inadequate.
Men's insecurities are so extensive because there's so much expected of us. Don't cry. Don't talk. Don't be gay. Don't try out for theater (refer to item three. You aren't big enough. You aren't "big" enough. You haven't had sex with enough people. You can't drink fast enough. You have to pay. You can't afford to pay? You aren't good enough for my daughter, etc. Even with this whole school thing, we only struggle through it to make us more desirable.
Men are beginning to realize that if we don't live up to certain expectations, then we are easily replaced. In fact, we are outshone by conveniently formed pieces of silicone, glass or rubber in many statistical categories. No wonder Viagra is now more heavily prescribed than Prozac. Men are expected to perform.
And why wouldn't performance be coveted? Look at who we look up to. Millions of Americans can't tell you who the Secretary of State is, but they will tell you who quarterbacks the Broncos or wearers number 6 for the Heat. Athletes are the yardsticks of masculinity, which easily explains how performance enhancers found their way out of sports and into the hands of the common folk. Steroids were created for men to be better at being men. In many cases the drugs are used not for the sake of being better athletically, but to help attain the body that men think women want them to have. We do stupid stuff to impress women.
It all comes down to acceptance. I can't speak for all guys, but I would like to apologize for seeking that acceptance in the wrong way sometimes. My only defense is that the world is a lonely place when you feel like you are the only one living in it.
I hope I don't come across as saying guys have it worse than anybody. I just want to point out that all of us, regardless of labels, aren't so different. I have never presumed that I know anything about anything, but I think that the world could be a much better place if people would appreciate each other's differences, and also acknowledge that we as humans have some common struggles, and we can take them on together.

Hip-hop offers valuable lessons below rough exterior
Time and time again, I've witnessed angry people bash hip-hop for the corruption of young people. "It's too violent! It's so vulgar! It promotes drug use!"
Does it? Yes. Is that all it does?
No. Not even close.
Hip-hop is more than just guns, sex and drugs. What we hear on the radio in no way represents the core message of hip-hop. It can actually be incredibly beneficial and educational.
After all, it's made me who I am.
By Dalton Boehm
dboehm@kansan.com
From some of my earliest years, and even today, I have always been a very solitary individual. I relied on two things: myself and hip-hop. The most challenging thing growing up was learning how to become a man. Being so isolated, my largest source of information regarding manhood was from rap music. I could connect to the lives of many rappers who grew up without fathers. My father wasn't so dramatically absent, but I was his sixth child over 20 years. He was older by common standards, and was tired from years of hard work and raising children. Mostly by my own accord, I was left to raising myself.
Through music and personal experience, I learned that the world was not a friendly place that was easy to survive in, even for someone as fortunate as myself. Hip-hop instructed me to be strong in the face of peril, levelheaded under pressure and eternally loyal to those I love. On the surface, it didn't make
On the surface, it didn't make
sense for my iTunes library to be nearly all rap. After all, hip-hop has always been a predominantly black movement, and my high school was over 80 percent white. I lived in the suburbs of a city on the fringe of the Midwest rap scene. I went for late night walks in my hyper-safe neighborhood while listening to stories of brutal murder and fiendish addiction. I'm thin, I'm not aggressive and I have no rhythm.
Yet from the flowers, concrete would grow.
necause of my isolation, I was plagued with depression and insecurity. I understood what these men were saying, speaking about trying to succeed and adapt in a world that didn't accept them. I understood because pain is a universal language. I knew I would have to work ferociously hard to achieve my dreams.
Every free moment was spent listening and learning. Instead of chatting with people between classes, I would wade in the sea of students, listening to "Man on The Moon," "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" and classics from the golden age. I did schoolwork while listening to Nas. Played video games with
J. Cole. Fell asleep to Mac Lethal. Living with hip-hop helped sharpen my worldview, as I was constantly being exposed to lifetimes of wisdom and knowledge. That's why it's more than just music to me, it's a culture that runs through every fiber of my being. I was lucky enough to be able to see rap for the intricate and intimate cultural experience it can be.
Parents aren't wrong to be concerned with what their children are listening to. Hip-hop can be severely detrimental to the youth. It has a very heavy tone and attitude that can have serious consequences if perceived in the wrong light. I've seen the side effects first hand while assistant teaching a documentary class at a summer program designed to help liberate inner city teens.
The kids I worked with are exactly why hip-hop gets such a bad rap. Their fathers aren't there to guide them. Their education "systems" are failing. No one is there to tell them the difference between fact and fiction. Rap is one of the few things that can tell them how to live as they're lost and alone in a world that keeps putting them down.
This needs to change. I want people to see hip-hop for the good it can do. The hip-hop community needs to be promoting truth in the mainstream and educating its young listeners on how to responsibly consume media.

Participation trophies hamper good work ethic
I've always been a competitor at heart. Bringing home the "hardware" after a hard-fought competition was always my goal, whether in debate, model U.N. or the once-in-a blue-moon Chinese speech competition. But even the most competitive will find themselves in a contest where their hard work has been cheapened and the tournament itself trivialized. This occurs when we give out trophies to everyone, even those who didn't perform well. That disturbs me. Underlying the practice is one tacit endorsement of mediocrity: you're a winner even if you lose.
But you aren't. Anyone who sacrifices hours of sleep and endures hours of stress-induced starvation for the sake of a competition knows that. To those kinds of people, a loss is heartbreaking. To some, however, it isn't. Lately our society has significantly lowered the bar for 'success' by giving out trophies and awards for those who don't really deserve it. This is a problem, and I'll explain why.
Firstly, it cheapens the value of hard work. If your strategy is to put in as little effort as possible just to get a freebie trophy. I really wonder why you do it at all. Giving away awards for last place suggests that tournament organizers are too afraid to break someone's heart with a "yes, you really did lose, sorry." That teaches people that their underperformance is acceptable. They have robbed competitors of any sense of responsibility for their performance and bestowed upon them an undeserved sense of prestige.

LETTER GUIDELINES
I suggest a return to the old way of competition, because I don't think it was broken in the first place. Sports, academic competitions and the like are all designed so that true competitors have the opportunity to stand out in the job market or on college applications with evidence to back it up. But if everyone's a winner, no one is. I think it is a great understatement of our grit as a species to say that we cannot handle the emotional heartbreak of defeat. We are not all winners, not by default, anyway, and we ought to recognize that from the very beginning in order to make ourselves into better people.
children's egos by expecting a trophy, we shouldn't spuriously inflate them by bequeathing an undeserved award. The argument behind it is simple: if we praise children for mediocrity, they will associate success with unimpressive work, build a pattern and then do it again. But in a more realistic, high stakes competition, top performers are rewarded. For the worst performers, the pangs of defeat offer motivation to do better and build tenacity. But motivation and improvement is removed from the equation when we rush to the scene of a defeated competitor and award them with a trophy.

ALBUM REVIEW
Hip hop vibes complete second half of Timberlake album
J T
THE 20/20
EXPERIENCE
DUNCAN MCHENRY
dmchenry@kansan.com
Justin Timberlake is a multi-platinum recording artist, successful actor and businessman with an estimated net worth of around $80 million. And, as of a year ago, he's now married to Jessica Biel. Cue the jealousy.
RCA RECORDS
in other words, Timberlake is a talented modern entertainer whose referring to himself as "the king" onstage during last month's iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas wasn't mere braggadocio. After all, in terms of career longevity and ability to impress onstage, there is little competition. Try finding someone else who dances like Michael Jackson and has the stage presence of Prince, minus the perm and purple velvet.
And because Timberlake has had a padlock on the realm of pop superstardom since the N Sync era, his closest competition is often himself. With the second half of his latest two-part album, "The 20/20 Experience," out yesterday, Timberlake indeed displays nearly perfect artistic vision. The first half of "20/20" came out in March and is already one of this year's best-sellers — sticking to the neo-soil
grooves and sensual lyrics that propelled his first two solo albums, "Justified" and "FutureSex/Love-Sounds," to success.
If part one of "20/20" is a luxurious limo cruise at dusk, part two is a nighttime Ferrari ride to the after-party. Producer and hip-hop maestro Timbaland's fingerprints are all over the entire album. His stylistic touches are evident in the constant array of beatbox noises and sync copied rhythms on tracks such as "Cabaret" and the disco-inspired "Take Back the Night."
Timberlake does make a couple of left-field decisions in the tracks "True Blood" and "Drink You Away." The former is an almost cheesy nod to pop culture's current obsession with vampires, in which he sings, "Make me wanna build a coffin for two / she's got that true
blood," and the latter is a country-fried tribute to his Tennessee roots. The rock guitar and organ in "Drink You Away" don't quite pair with Timberlake's voice as well as the funky horns and synthesizers used on the bulk of "20/20", but the song is refreshing nonetheless. Verses from Drake and Jay-Z on "Cabaret" and "Murder", respectively, add to the hip-hop undertones present on much of the album, and continue Timberlake's past habit of collaborating with rap artists.
The song "You Got It On," however, is essentially a musical guide to complimenting women. He sings, "Now, baby, the day you were born / They picked you up and wrapped you up / So cold but so hot, everything melts on you," leaving little doubt that some Barry White records must have been spinning in the Timberlake home during his youth.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS?
With part two of "The 20/20 Experience," Timberlake has made his latest pop project whole. If possible, listen to both parts together to experience everything the album has to offer.

Walsh and Oklahoma State's offense continues to struggle
Oklahoma State, tabbed as the preseason conference favorite, suffered its first loss of the season in its conference opener against West Virginia in Moreantown.
OSU coach Mike Gundy said that it was apparent why they didn't perform well, but the team is ready to get back on track Saturday when they play Kansas State.
"I think they'll respond fine" Gundy said. "They were good in practice last night. It was obvious the mistakes we made. We were poor in the turnover category and the kicking game, and that pretty much tells the tale in most football games."
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
Quarterback has been a point of contention all year for the Cowboys, and J.W. Walsh continues to raise some questions with spotty play after four games.
Oklahoma State, which went through a QB carousel last year, is going through a similar phase this year.
Walsh's lack of arm strength has been displayed in his inaccuracy so far this season. He's thrown three interceptions.
Gundy marked senior QB Clint Chelf as his starter to open the season, but once Chelf sputtered in the first few series of the season opener against Mississippi State, he turned to Walsh. He has started the last three games.
"In the last couple games, J.W. (Walsh) has been average throwing the ball," Gundy said.
Walsh, a dual-threat QB, was supposed to run an offense similar to former Oklahoma State QB Zac Robinson — one with short passes and QB zone reads.
Walsh remains the starter for this week. Gundy thinks the narrative has drastically changed now that
Walsh is starting.
"Everyone loved Walsh when he wasn't playing, then when he makes a mistake they want a change," Gundy said. "That's the world we live in."
A few weeks ago orangebloods, com reported that Texas' athletic director Delosx Doddss was stepping down after the season, and it was made official Monday by Kirk Bohls of the Austin American Statesmen.
Dodds, who has seen his fair share of success, is experiencing the first program overhaul in quite some time. He won athletic director of the year in 2011, and is in his 32nd year as athletic director.
Bohls reported that Dodds will remain at the position through August 31,2014. After that he will take on a consulting role.
Texas, which has endured unaccustomed circumstances the last few years under Mack Brown, could also see a new head coach after the end of the season.
Dodds was instrumental in building Texas into the money-juiced program it is today. He also helped implement the Longhorn Network, which essentially kept the Big 12 from breaking up during conference realignment.
WVU still up in the air about starting quarterback
In a league that has seen many quarterback mix-ups, another one may have manifested itself in Morgantown.
Clint Trickett, a Florida State transfer, made his first start of his career against Oklahoma State last Saturday. He led the Mountaineers to a 30-21 victory, and threw 309 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

Five things to know from Chiefs' 31-7 rout of Giants
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Andy Reid claims there are things he still doesn't know about his Kansas City Chiefs.
That claim seems more farfetched by the day.
The former longtime Eagles coach has pulled all the right strings and orchestrated all the right moves in getting the Chiefs off to a 4-0 start. Their resounding 31-7 rout of the winless New York Giants on Sunday proved just how far Kansas City has come from a 2-14 finish a year ago.
"There are a lot of things that I don't know, but I do know this: We're a tough bunch and we'll keep battling," said Reid, whose team joined the 1980 Detroit Lions as the only ones in modern NFL history to win their first four games after two or fewer wins the previous season.
"That's something I'm proud of them for," Reid said. "They've been that way all the way through the offseason, during training camp and then continued it on into the season."
Alex Smith was savvy and efficient at quarterback. Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe made the kind of big plays befitting his big new contract. Dexter McCluster reached a punt 89 yards for a touchdown. And a hard-hitting defense allowed just one long touchdown reception.
If the Chiefs are battling, the Giants (0-4) are about ready to wave the white flag.

Their defense has allowed 69 points the last two weeks, and an offense operating with a patchwork line has managed just one touchdown over that same stretch.
The result is their first winless start this deep into the season since 1987.
"I'm depending heavily on the leadership and depending heavily on the character of the guys in that locker room." Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "Pick ourselves up, have a good week of practice, go play as hard as we can and improve on this."
With that in mind, here are five takeaways from Sunday's game:
CHIEFS ARE ROLLING
Beating Jacksonville was written off as a win over a bad team. Wins over Dallas and Philadelphia? Validation that what Reid's doing in Kansas City is working. But beating a desperate Giants team to go 4-0 for the third time in franchise history means the Chiefs are on a roll. "We're confident but not complacent," tight end Sean McGrath said. GIANTS ARE SWOONING
Just two years removed from a Super Bowl triumph, the Giants are trying to figure out where everything went wrong. They're allowing more than 36 points each game and have struggled to get into a rhythm on offense. The only 'TD' they've scored the last two weeks came on Eli Manning's long pass to Victor Cruz on Sunday. "It's disappointing offensive not to be able to do anything," it's bad," Manning said. "We had some chances on some plays and just didn't make them."
DOMINATING DEFENSE
The Chiefs are staking their claim as the league's top defense through the first four weeks. They've given up just four touchdowns and allowed 41 points, one point more than they allowed in their season-opening loss to Atlanta last year. "I feel like that was the foundation that was built for us to do what we're doing now," safety Eric Berry said, "but we've still got a lot of work to do."
SMALL THINGS MATTER
The Giants were trailing 10-7 in the third quarter when the Chiefs successfully challenged the spot on a third-and-long conversion. Coughlin elected to punt rather than go for it on fourth-and-short, and McCluster returned it 89 yards for a touchdown. It was the start of a 21-0 second half for the Chiefs.
ADVERSITY? NO PROBLEM
The Chiefs have proven they can handle some adversity. Not only did they shut down the Giants after turning the ball over for the first two times this season, they did it without several key players. Top cornerback Brandon Flowers, starting guard Jeff Allen and top tight ends Anthony Fasano and Travis Kelce were inactive due to injuries. Right tackle Eric Fisher left the game with a suspected concussion. "I was proud of the effort that the guys gave," Reid said. "I thought they came out and did a nice job. We overcome three turnovers with three takeaways of our own, and then the defense, I thought, played well."

THE MORNING BREW The Royals are one book away from the playoffs
With their 4-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, the Kansas City Royals finished
the 2013 baseball season ten whole games above .500, at 86-76. It was the club's best record since winning 92 games in 1989, and the first time they earned the "winning team" rep since 2003.
All in all, it was a successful year by Kansas City standards. Remember, is a team that has lost 100 games in four of the last 12 seasons, and 90 games in five of the remaining eight.
So yes, for a team with a bar set as dismally low as the Royals', 86 wins is more than enough reason to throw a party.
But what if I told you that the Royals, yes, the Kansas City Royals with just an $80 million payroll (as compared to the New York Yankee's $229 million), were one 280-page book away from not only making the playoffs, but possibly winning a World Series?
By Daniel Harmsen
dharmsen@kansan.com
I'm so generous that I'll even tell you the name of that book: "Moneyball" by Michael Lewis.
The secret is out; three teams with lesser payrolls than the Royals - Oakland, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay - are all playing postseason baseball, while the Royals sit at home for the 28th year in a row. And yes, all these teams embrace Moneyball; the Royals don't. And one of them, the Oakland As, is actually credited as the trailblazer itself.
"Moneyball" tells the story of general manager Billy Beane and his poor, downtrodden Oakland As. Like all GM's, Beane has to find
a way to field a competitive baseball team, which is hard enough as it is. The catch is that Beane has to do this with a significant financial disadvantage. The New York Yankees, a team Beane will learn how to beat with unconventional baseball knowledge, pay their players three times the amount Beane can scrap together for his team.
Glamorized stats such as stolen bases, RBI (runs batted in) and batting average are rigorously proven flawed and therefore thrown out the window. Speed and contact are also rendered irrelevant. Not to mention, defensive play is drastically overvalued.
With the help of an analytical, evidence-based, sabermetric approach to assembling a baseball team, founded by Lawrence native, Bill James, Beane takes the As into the playoffs despite all odds and his disadvantaged revenue situation, setting the record for most consecutive regular season wins (20).
How?
Pitches seen, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, as statistical analysis proves, are better indicators of offensive
success. This is because they are deemed the most relevant stats to producing runs. Therefore, Moneyball also says, college athletes are better to draft because they have a larger sample size of these stats than high school players. These Moneyball players are affordable because they don't produce the conventional stats that scouts salivate over, but the ones that matter and are often overlooked.
Winning the war of attrition by wearing the starting pitcher down and getting to the bullpen, getting on base, and hitting the ball far all lead to runs and runs beet wins. It's not rocket science, but the Royals try to make it that.
Proof?
1) First-baseman Eric Hosmer was benched on Sunday to preserve his 302 batting average. By conventional baseball standards, that is a significant feat. The Royals agree. Moneyball doesn't.
2) The Royals saw 23,013 pitches all year. Boston saw 25,668. Oakland saw 24,500.
3) The Royals took only 422 walks (26 out of 30) as compared to Tampa Bay, Boston, and Oakland (2, 3, and 4) who each took over 550.
4) The Royals were 24th in slugging percentage. Boston was first, Oakland was fourth, and Tampa was tenth.
5) The Royals constantly draft high school players. Have you ever heard of Chris Lubanski? Yeah, neither had I.
The Royals had arguably one of the best defenses in the past 20 years according
KU
to fielding statistics, highlighted by Lorenzo Cain, Salvador Perez, and company. However, the A's are perennially one of the worst, and the Tigers are old and boot the ball around. Yet, these teams are in the postseason again and the Royals are not.
Oakland continues to boggle minds after winning the American League West Division again, and the Boston Red Sox, with the help of Bill James, their Senior Advisor on Baseball Operations, finished with the best record in baseball.
The Royals stubbornly scoff at this new way of thinking. 'The neds are trying to desensitize or harden a beautiful game,' they say. 'Poetry in motion.'
False. These "nerds" with degrees from Harvard are just proving that the eye is deceptive, and the numbers don't lie.
David Glass, the miser that he is, isn't the real problem. The approach is the problem. Stop fighting the proven system, you yahoos. Put down the sword, and pick up the book. This team is talented already, and if they would just listen to the numbers, the sky, really, is the limit.

Marquel combs announces transfer to Southeastern Louisiana
Defensive tackle Maruel Combs, a headliner of the much-heralded Charlie Weis recruiting class heading this summer, has transferred to Southeastern Louisiana
after a short stint with Kansas. Combs didn't see any snaps and saw his name disappear from the depth chart just last week.
Combs, a 4-star recruit from Woodlands Hills, Calif. was recruited by the likes of Tennessee, Nebraska and A&M before choosing Kansas.

Megan McChrystal takes title at Symetra Tour
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Megan McChrystal birdied the final hole Monday to win the season-ending Symetra Tour Championship, and P.K. Kongkraphan won the money title to take one of 10 LPGA Tour cards.
A stroke ahead of South Africa's Paula Reto when play was suspended Sunday because of darkness. McChrystal made a 7-foot
birdie putt on her lone hole Monday to beat France's Perrine Delacour by two strokes. McChrystal, a former LSU player from Stuart, Fla., had 4-aunder 68 to finish at 13-under 275 on LPGA International's Champions Course.
"I think I might cry," McChrystal said. "This gives me the confidence I need for Q school. Last year, I was terrified. Now, I know I'm ready."
She earned $18,750 to jump from
58th to 18th on the money list with $27,238. Nos. 11-20 on the money list received spots in the final stage of the qualifying tournament in December.
"My goal was to make it high enough on the money list to make it to the final stage," McChrystal said. "I just wanted to prove to myself that I could shoot par or better through four rounds. It'll make Q school easier knowing that I'm capable of doing that."
Delacour closed with a 66 on Sunday. She was the only player to move into the top 10 on the money list in the finale, earning $11,590 to jump from 20th to eighth.
Reto shot 72, making a bogey and a par Monday, to finish third at 10 under.
Kongkraphan, from Thailand,
tied for seventh at 4 under. She
finished the season with $47,283.
Giulia Molinaro was second at
$39,848, followed by Marina Alex ($39,804), Christine Song ($39,309), Cydney Clanton ($38,861), Sue Kim ($37,850), Hannah Jun ($36,810) Delacour ($34,577), Alena Sharp ($34,120) and lacynl Sweeney ($33,609).
Sweeney tied for 22nd at even par to edge Olivia Jordan-Higgins by $114 for the final LPGA Tour card. Higgins, eighth on the money list entering the tournament, missed the cut.

COMMENTARY
Football benching brings pros and cons
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
Tuesday, October 1, 2013
Charlie Weis notably compared his 2012 squad to a "pile of crap," asking the media, "If you can't play here, where can you play?"
Weis wasn't outright promising playing time to prized recruits in that slightly off-color statement, but he was certainly suggesting that his best recruiting pitch is the opportunity to contribute immediately.
However, his actions this season have not been in accordance with that recruiting philosophy. He benched top transfer justin McCay and top junior college player Marquel Combs, with Combs opting to leave the program after not playing any snaps the first two games. Through those decisions, Weis made it clear that playing time is earned, not given.
And you know what? I love it.
But top recruits and transfers won't, and that's because those players won't scrutinize the circumstances surrounding the benchings.
Granted, McCay caught a touchdown in the first game, but too often he failed to get separation from opposing corners and showed suspect hands. With the plague of drops hindering the offense, Weis had to make a move. However, potential transfers will only see a former top prospect who didn't get a chance to play through his struggles. Combs is a different case entirely. Unlike McCay, Combs fell behind early in practice. He never seemed to demonstrate the work ethic required of a Big 12 starter. Dissatisfied with Combs' performance and attitude, Weis kept Combs on the bench. This sent a message to the entire team that no one's spot is secure. However, top recruits won't necessarily recognize Combs' shortcomings; they will only see a heralded juco star who was never given a chance to contribute.
Weis cannot help that these are gross misrepresentations of his coaching style. Most top recruits are still mentally immature. This is through no fault of their own. They are high school students after all.
Recruiting is always a dirty battle, with coaches adhering to yellow journalism tactics and negative observations. Just recently, a recruit indicated that coaches used Texas A&M basketball coach Jimmy Kennedy's Parkinson's disease to besemirch the program. If Parkinson's is fair game, anything is. The benching of two of Kansas' top newcomers is sure to be discussed during in-home or official visits, and you can bet that weighs heavily on recruits.
That's not to say Weis should change his approach. There is much to be critical about so far this season, but Weis' impatience with underperforming players is not one of them. As much as it hurts his standing with top recruits, it should attract those recruits that fly under the radar. This is where you find players like Michael Crabtreat, last year's top draft pick Eric Fisher or Kansas alumnus Aqib Talib. All three of those players were only two-star prospects.
Of course, those players are the rare success stories, and flourishing five-star players are a dime-a-dozen. But if Weis is going to succeed, it's going to be through the development of players willing to grind and fight for their spots.
Unfair as it may be, these diamonds in the rough might soon be Weis' only options.

MOVING FORWARD
Senior transfer Tarik Black will play a key role in the Javhawks' growth.
bschuster@kansan.com
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Often times it's easy to forget. Not that it's Tarik Black's fault. The forward has done everything possible to make a name for himself already. Black was a four-star recruit coming out of high school and a centerpiece of the Memphis Tigers for the last few years. Besides, at 6'9", 262 lbs., separating himself from a group of freshmen shouldn't be that hard to do.
Yet there's Black, not a big enough name to warrant the spotlights, and not big enough to look over Joel Embiid, but certainly a big reason
the Kansas Jayhawks can consider themselves the deepest team in the country.
"Not very often do you recruit a senior that already started three years," Bill Self said of Black at Kansas' media day. "And have him come in and be as well respected and basically be the leader of our big guys already."
if there's such a thing as a lower pressure job in high stakes college
The worst part of his transfer to Kansas might just be that Black's name goes in the same recruiting class as Andrew Wiggins, Wayne Selden, et al, which is good news for Kansas.
basketball, Black found it.
While still at Memphis, Black averaged nearly eight points and five rebounds per game. His coach on the Tigers, Josh Pastner, told the Memphis Commercial Appeal last season that when Black catches the ball around the paint it's as if you can already count it as two points.
"We try to get him to just instinctively go play," Pastner said. Placing a big man of that caliber in Self's high-low offense can equal two things: trust and tenacity.
While the rest of the newcomers adapt to both the speed of the college game, as well as Self's coaching system, Black will be relied on to
cover up any shortcomings. With a non-conference schedule ranked the toughest in the nation by ESPN, having Black as a sort of safety net allows more time for the freshman to get acclimated.
None of that was lost on Black when he decided to play his final season in Kansas.
"Kansas is my type of place," Black said on media day. "I've always liked Kansas' style of the way they function."
And, according to Self, none of Black's experience will go to waste.
"He'll have a great chance to play as much as he wants," Self said. "I'm expecting him to have a big year."
Black's automatic points won't be the only thing Self is counting on. He's going to need him to help with the growth of the Jayhawks' other bigs, namely Perry Ellis and Jamari Travelor.
Ellis already said that Black has helped improve his game, and Black sees his role as more of a blessing than anything else.
"I'm definitely cool with it," Black said. "If coach believes in me, then why wouldn't I believe in myself." Regardless, Black has the opportunity to become as big as he wants to be.

Weaknesses remain focal point during bye week
MAX GOODWIN
This Saturday the Texas Tech Red Raiders enter Lawrence ranked No. 20 in the Associated Press poll after a 4-0 start.
There's no perfect time for a bye on the schedule in Charlie Weis' opinion.
The Jayhawks have already had two bye weeks early in the season, and now the team is facing nine straight weeks of Big 12 opponents.
"But whenever it occurs you have to use it to your advantage," Weis said. "It gives you a chance to look at the things you really need to improve if you're going to have a chance. It allows you to see what are your strengths and what are your weaknesses."
mgoodwin@kansan.com
A weakness that Wels has mentioned is the physicality the Jayhawks play with. He talked
The players went full speed last week in practice, which rarely happens during the season. With players being taken to the ground on tackles and the quarterbacks taking hits as if it were a real game, Weis was able to better understand where his team stands.
On Thursday, the Jayhawks played a scrimmage that Weis called "fairly significant."
There was a clear goal in mind for the coaching staff and players during the practice week. While having an extra week to prepare for Texas Tech, the jayhawks were
about the lack of it last week in his Monday teleconference with Big 12 media, and the subject came up again this week.
"There were a lot of clear-cut, 'here what's going to happen' situations, and there's no better way to play more physically than going full speed." Weis said.
The Jayhawks began the season with an inexperienced offensive line, having senior left tackle Aslam Sterling as the only one who had substantial playing time a year ago. Weis is still looking to determine exactly who will be consistently involved this season.
Last week Weis was concerned about the offensive line. He wanted to see them be more physical as a unit, as they prepare for a strong Texas Tech defensive line that already has nine sacks this season.
also focused on improving their own play before getting deep into scouting the Red Raiders.
"We worked a lot on ourselves," Weis said. "Trying to improve a lot of the things we haven't been very good at."
"You're looking to settle into five guys," Weis said. "But you don't play just five guys. Last week was a good just five guys. For us to get

those guys that are truly in the mix on the depth chart together and work on their communication."
"They're so used to losing those close games here, that I think it was definitely a big psychological plus for us," Weis said. "We know we're ready to hit the grind right here, but going into a bye week, coming off a win with a kick on the last play of the game made things a lot easier to tolerate around here."
Communication was an issue in the 13-10 win over Louisiana Tech, with some linemen showing signs of frustration on the field. But Kansas is mostly healthy, other than Taylor Cox (hamstring) and Tre' Parmalea (appendectomy), coming off the bye week, and was able to practice for a week with lifted spirits.

Tamara Vitale, an international student from Germany, faces a mess of legal paperwork involving her permanent visa.
Tamara Vitale has spent more than half of her life in Kansas, but when she turned 19 she received the burden of not knowing whether she would be able to remain in the United States.
At 12, she emigrated from Germany with her parents, who obtained work visas, but now, at 25, she is studying at the University for her 11th semester so that she can keep her student visa and stay in the country with her family and friends.
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
There were more than 53 million people who came to the United States from abroad in order to work, study or visit last year, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Vitale is one of more than 1.5 million international students in the U.S. under a temporary academic visa.
Vitale's family lives in the U.S. legally and started the application process for permanent visas as soon as they arrived — the process takes at least seven years to complete.
When Vitale's seven years were up, she found out that the lawyer handling her paperwork had made an error. She would have to reapply and wait another seven to nine years to obtain her visa. Instead of pursuing her own interests in writing and acting, she needed to pursue a career in law or engineering to stav in the U.S.
Student seeking visa reaches out
Other options that were suggested included becoming famous, investing $1 million in a company or getting married.
Right now she works as a GTA
"It was kind of like being told your future is going to be predetermined." Vitale said. "It's very unsettling."
She said she has rebelled against the idea of pursuing a career that she isn't interested in, but not without trying her options. She was accepted into the University's law program where she spent three days before dropping out, and she also tried pursuing a business major.
"I've always been a more creative person, but I don't have the liberty to do that," Vitale said.
in the Humanities and Western Civilizations department and tries to spend her free time writing or pursuing acting.Her immigration issue has prevented her from focusing on her dreams and has left her considering tough choices.
Kansas is Vitale's home and she said she wants to find a way to stay here within legal means.
"Why should anyone have to do that?" Vitale said. "I feel like it goes against the very fabric of this nation to require someone to get married to stay here."
Edited by James Ogden
"It's upsetting to think that somebody you love would have to leave the life that they've built." Marlowe said.
She hopes that she might become an exception, but is frustrated that her chances of being an exception are greater than the chance of legal immigration reform.
SUPERNOVA
"It doesn't solve the overall national problem that is this wealth of bureaucratic red tape for legal immigrants that makes it so difficult," Vitale said.
Vitale said she doesn't like the idea of marrying to stay in the country even though it's the easiest option, and she has a supportive boyfriend.
Beth Marlowe, Vitale's best friend, feels frustrated with Vitale's situation because it's no fault of her own.
Vitale remains hopeful that a policy change might help her obtain a permanent visa, but she said she understands why politicians wouldn't listen to her because she can't vote.
She wrote to Barack Obama, Joe Biden and all her senators and representatives.
Her visa expires in December 2014. Until then she contemplates her options and hopes that people will take notice of her issue. While illegal immigration reform sparks passionate conversation legal immigration reform is left out of the conversation, Vitale said.
"Everybody pays attention to illegal immigrants and their issues, which is great, but I am a very overlooked demographic," Vitale said.

Curiosity, the NASA rover exploring Mars, may be over 50 million miles away, but one University student's work has brought it a little closer to Lawrence.
Ryan Endres, a junior aerospace engineering student from DeSoto, spent the past summer in Pasadena, Calif., interning at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab and working closely with Curiosity.
Despite being offered an internship at one of the most prestigious scientific institutions in the world, Endres spent much of his time proving to people why a kid from a small town in Kansas deserved to be there.
"The most awesome thing is that people would doubt me," Endres said. "They would be like 'Kansas? That's not a top 25 school.' I heard that so many times. Well no, but there are so many good things about it. KU holds its own very well, and we are producing just as good students."
Endres worked with the Integrated Planning and Execution team for Curiosity, where he helped compile a database for the information the rover was sending back
to NASA from Mars. He learned of the internship through a family friend who was impressed with his work at the University, primarily his work outside the classroom.
Endres' extracurricular activities include being president of Engineers Without Borders at the Uni
versity, involvement with the Self Engineering Leadership Fellows Program, and even running marathons. He said it was these experiences at the University that made him feel qualified to work at the JPL and appreciative of his roots.
"I felt like I be-

longed there," Endres said. "I felt like there were aspects of KU that are vital and essential to being a well-rounded person that made me fit in. It was humbling to be there, but it made me realize I'm just as good as everyone else there too, which is pretty cool because there's people at KU who are better than me, so it shows you just how good the University of Kansas is."

when we're at the peak of our careers at 35 or 40 years old, I think we will be sending people to Mars," Endres said. "I want to change the world, and working there gave me the
idea that I could be on that front line of going out and expanding the capacity of humanity"
Bob Lyon, faculty advisor for Engineers Without Borders, has worked with Endres since he was a sophomore. He said the qualities Endres displays within their organization, such as traveling to Bolivia to help make latrines in mountain villages, make him an obvious candidate for such a prestigious internship.
"He really wants to make a difference and build a better world in whatever capacity he can." Lyon said. "He's a real people person who's a real visible member in the School of Engineering, and he's just a real leader and a real servant, too."
Charles Neiss, the program coordinator for the SELF program, reiterated that it shouldn't come as a shock to see Endres working on something like Curiosity.
"He's definitely a student who seeks out and maximizes opportunities and wants to go above and beyond the norm, so it doesn't surprise me he sought out something unique and individual like the experience he had." Neiss said.
Even though his internship and work on Curiosity ended in August. Endres knows it will serve him for much longer.
"It really did open up a lot of op portuities for me," he said. "There's internships I'll apply for this year and my opportunity of getting them, or at least an interview, is definitely greater. It looks really good when I can write 'NASA,' 'Jet Propulsion Lab' and 'Curiosity' on my lab. That's just — wow."

KU Common Book program successfully inspires growth
KATIE MCBRIDE
kmcbride@kansan.com
Over the past two years, the KU Common Book program has successfully provided the University with an experience that promotes unity and discussion in the freshman class. As the program continues into its third year, coordinators are considering moving away from the previous type of books chosen, but hope to maintain the same goals.
Sarah Crawford-Parker, director of the Office of First-Year Experience, said it's possible that the 2014 Common Book may end up being written by a deceased author.
If this were the case, the coordinators of the program hope to bring in a speaker "on the same level as the author," said Crawford-Parker.
2012 and 2013 Common Books visited campus following the reading and discussion of the books among the University community.
Crawford-Parker said that an important component of the beginning of the Common Book program was the interaction created with the author. The authors of the
Christina Kerns, project coordinator for the Office of First-Year Experience, said she has found that many students were able to make a much stronger connection to the book and gained a greater understanding after hearing the author's point of view. Hearing from the authors seemed to clarify the goals they tried to achieve through the
writing.
Kerns added that they want the book to be challenging, yet provide resources such as a reader's guide for students to utilize in order to maximize their understanding and engagement with the book.
"We don't want the KU Common Book to seem like something that's forced," Kerns said.

Students are given Federal Reserve Bank art commission
csisk@kansan.com
CALEB SISK
The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City will soon celebrate its 100th anniversary. Come spring of 2014, the Reserve Bank will unveil a sculpture commemorating its first 100 years. Normally an art commission like this would go to a talented local artist, but students from our very own Department of Visual Art will instead tackle the project.
Over four semesters, select art and design students will develop, build and present their works to officials at the Reserve Bank through a course at the University. This project goes a long way toward enriching the art program as well as the careers of everyone involved.
a very diverse group of artists.
"It is an honor to be asked to do this commission for the bank and for such an institute of power, their communications have been very personable," said Matthew Burke, associate professor of visual art.
The course, entitled "Special Topics in Art: The Federal Reserve Commission," will be offered over the span of the next four semesters and is open to any art and design students that have completed their foundation year. The open-ended enrollment process has resulted in
"Regardless of our backgrounds, this is an opportunity to create something that we can put our name on and reference later on," said Sarah Podrasky, a graduate student from St. Joseph, Mo.
The students involved represent a range of interests, from art education and industrial design to fine art. Students will gain real-world experience in the field of public art and the rare opportunity to author a major commission.

Burke and his
team are charged with the task of assembling these objects into a sculpture that will honor the
bank's anniversary and find acceptance from employees.
"We have been commissioned to honor 100 years of history, so this work will speak to a timeless audience," said Burke. "It is important that our work is timeless as well and can stand on its own as a piece
of art."
Ralston agreed with Burke and expressed his enthusiasm in moving forward with the project.
"It's exciting to be part of a unique opportunity in a creative, real-life application project, one with long lasting impact," Ralston said.
the group plans to work through the fall in order to complete a finished series of drawings and models that they hope to present to the bank in early December.
The nature of the work done by the spring section of the course
will depend on the feedback that the fall section receives from officials at the bank. However, if the designs are well received, the spring section could begin building plans immediately. This will be decided when the previous section debriefs the new students on the nature of the work completed and where they believe it should go.
Any eligible art and design students interested in taking part in this commission should contact Matthew Burke at mburke01@ku.edu.

Students' shoes help those in need

When asked, Hannah Arredondo did not hesitate to explain her motivation behind joining the KU TOMS Club.
TOMS Clubs, which are situated in communities and schools all over the country, raise awareness for the "One for One" movement that the TOMS company has embraced. For every pair of TOMS an individual buys, the company gives a pair to a child in need.
"To be a part of something that is globally effective and so important is so cool. The mission behind TOMS shoes is such a great idea." Arredondo said. A senior from Kansas City, Mo., Arredondo is the president of the KU TOMS Club, an organization dedicated to fighting child poverty in over sixty different countries.
"We rally people to raise awareness about what they do. We're not raising money. So many people around campus wear TOMS and don't know the mission behind it." Arredondo said.
Other than tabling on Wescoe Beach, chalking and handing out posters and flyers, the KU TOMS
Club has two main events to help with the mission. The first is "Style Your Sole" where members of the club buy and decorate their own pairs of TOMS. Arredondo took her red pair of TOMS and painted a layhawk on the left shoe and "KU" on the right. "One Day Without Shoes" is the second main event and takes place in the spring. This is a national event that brings global awareness to children's health and education by going one day without wearing shoes.
According to the TOMS Campus Clubs website, the hope goes past raising awareness about the effect shoes have on the health, self-esteem, and access to education of those in need. The real goal is to inspire people to work for positive change in their communities.
"TOMS even has an eyewear line now," said Rosie Alvelais, senior and treasurer of the KU TOMS Club. TOMS eyewear purchases help provide new prescription glasses to middle school students in the U.S.
"I spent $150 on sunglasses, but someone, somewhere is getting the help they need," Alvelais said.
It seems like such a small price.
Arredondo added.
The KU TOMS Club consists of students who primarily work on planning campus events and spreading awareness.
"We currently have about twenty members. It's a really easy club to be a part of. We meet every other week, and there isn't a lot of time commitment involved," Alvelais said.
So, why join an organization like the KU TOMS Club? According to Alvealis, the purpose extends beyond spreading awareness of the "One for One" movement.
"It's important for everyone to help each other and be aware of other people that are less fortunate than you," she said. "If you can put a small price on something that's so big, it makes it worth it."
Edited by Kayla Overbey
The club meets in the dining area on the third floor in the Kansas Union every other week, alternating between Tuesdays at 6 p.m. and Thursdays at 7 p.m.

NATIONAL GUARD
Colorado to pay soldiers rebuilding flooded road
PAGE 3
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Colorado will pick up the tab for National Guard engineers helping rebuild the main highway leading to Rocky Mountain National Park because of the federal government shutdown.
Gov. John Hickenlooper said Tuesday that Colorado will use its flood disaster fund to pay the 120 soldiers working on U.S. Highway 36 in hopes that the Federal Emergency Management Agency will later agree to reimburse 75 percent of the cost. He expects the state share to be between $10,000 and $20,000 a day.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"We want to make sure we don't lose a single day in getting these roads open and communities back together again," Hickenlooper said.
In this photo from Sept. 20, a National Guard soldier mans a roadblock as a buildozer clears concrete flood debris from a damaged road after last week's flood, west of Longmont, Colo. A budget fight has led to a U.S. government shutdown Tuesday, leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers without paychecks and shutting down federal services all over the country.
A bill passed by Congress protects payments for active-duty personnel, but Colorado officials don't believe that covers soldiers assigned to training missions building roads.

Still undecided is whether Colorado will also pay about 450 Guard members from Utah, Kansas and
Wyoming who are scheduled to be brought in waves during the next two months as the state tries to get at least one passable lane open on all state highways destroyed by the floods by Dec. 1. About half of state roads that were damaged have reopened.
Gen. H. Michael Edwards, who oversees the more than 5,000 Colorado Army and Air National Guard members, said it's possible more federal help could be available.
On the eve of the shutdown, Hickenlooper had vowed to continue the work if the "knuckleheads" in Washington couldn't work things out. On Tuesday, he jokingly deflected a question about who exactly he was talking about: "Are you questioning whether there are knuckleheads in Congress? Make your own list."

But, on a serious note, Hickenlooper said the problems facing the nation politically were greater than those the state faced in recovering from the floods.

"This country has bigger issues that it needs to resolve," he said.
Man in custody after standoff in Winfield
WINFIELD — A man is in custody and will have a mental evaluation after a standoff that lasted nearly eight hours in south-central Kansas.
KAKE-TV reports the standoff at a home in Winfield began around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. The man was upset with his family and fired several shots into the air, but had already gone back inside the home by the time police arrived.
Officers from several police and sheriffs' departments responded, along with a Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent who lives in Winfield.
the man surrendered peacefully around 4 p.m. He's described as in his 30s and possibly suffering from mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder.

"The Worst Hard Time," in which author Timothy Egan writes about the history of the Dust Bowl and describes the stories of real people who lived during that time. Kerns said that since this time period in history might not directly relate to students, they were forced to think deeper about what connections could be made between the book and their lives
Crawford-Parker added that students may disagree about how the book is relevant today, but that is an important part of their discussions.
"Our goal is not to pick a book that everybody likes," she said.
Instead, the Common Book program aims to create a university-wide experience that adds to the new students' sense of community when they arrive on campus.
Kailee Karr, a junior from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, worked as an orientation assistant during the summer and introduced students to the Common Book, which they received at orientation.
She is also a resident assistant and facilitated a Common Book discussion among the students on her floor. She said that no matter how students choose to engage with or explore the meaning of the text, many of them were still able to take away a greater sense
of connection with the University following the discussions.
"While they might not have looked at the critical thinking aspects of the book or the underlying themes that connect them to the university, I think they were more looking at how it could connect them with their classmates or use it as a tool to get to know someone." Karr said.
She added that even the students who seemed to lack an interest in the Common Book were able to take something away from hearing the perspectives of other students, and how they interpreted the book.
an academic topic is great," Karr said. "Every student coming here is looking for ways to relate to other people."
The selection committee has no shortage of options for next year, as 125 books were nominated by more than 140 individuals from the University community. Among these titles are both familiar and lesser known works, but Crawford-Parker said the selectors want to choose a book that students most likely would not have read in high school.

Space exploration raises questions about animal testing
Is sending cats to space the purr-fect plan to test the cosmos for humans? Iran has recently announced that they are planning on sending a Persian cat to space. Iran joined the space race in January 2013 by sending a monkey to space, but not without backlash.
Most of the criticism was rooted in the accompanying photographs of the monkey. The fur color was different in two of the pictures, raising questions as to whether or not the monkey truly survived. It was later confirmed that the monkey did in fact survive the flight, but the theories as to why the pictures differed vary depending on the source.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) was enraged to see the distressed look on the monkey's face. As
stated in their blog, "Monkeys are smart and sensitive animals that not only are traumatized by the violence and noise of a launch and landing but also suffer when caged in a laboratory before and after a flight—if they survive."

jstern@kansan.com

This isn't the first time PETA has protested primates in space. NASA ended the use of primates for space radiation experiments in the early 1990s, after PETA adamantly protested this procedure. NASA planned to restart the program in 2010, yet PETA and others held their ground about the program's ethical violations.
PETA also quoted Jean-Jacques Dordain, the European Space Agency's director general, who stated that the ESA "declines any interest in monkey research and does not consider any need or use for such result." PETA
argues, "cruel tests on nonhuman primates do not produce relevant results for human astronauts."
I will fully recognize that PETA is a very biased organization. However, this organization is a necessary asset to our society because they successfully get people to question our society's practices.
Are there benefits to sending animals into space? Why is there such an extensive history of bringing animals to space?
John Fuller, from "How Stuff
Works," explains that, "before space programs started sending people up into orbit, scientists couldn't agree on what it would be like for a living organism to leave Earth's atmosphere. What would be the effects of weightlessness on a mammal? How would the body handle radiation from the sun?" Now that humans have already been into space, the experiments with animals are becoming more rare as there are more efficient and effective alternatives.
In his blog, "Starstruck," science writer Andrew Fazekas discusses the recent experiment investigating effects of the microgravity environment of space on bone loss in mice: "Accelerated aging of the skeleton with bones becoming brittle without the pull of gravity is just one of many medical challenges (ex. muscle atrophy
and space radiation) facing future human crews on multi-year deep space missions like those to the planet Mars." And as Fazekas continues to point out, there are "more down to Earth potential spinoffs too — like developing more effective drugs to fight the bone degenerative disease of osteoporosis seen in the elderly."
I think sending animals into space can be extremely helpful if it truly provides information that could not be found by any other method. As to whether Iran will really discover something groundbreaking by sending a cat into space, I have my doubts. In modern times, using animals as a form of entering the space race is outdated and unnecessary.

HUMAN BEHAVIOR
Lying is vital to human life, but should be used sparingly
Human memory is essentially binary — we can only focus on one thing at a time. So how do people capture that focus? Tell an interesting story? Summon the power of wit and formulate an eccentric pick-up line? Display our extrinsic worth by flaunting money, because our intrinsic worth isn't seen as formidable and attractive?
Maybe, but it seems people are more intrigued by hyperbolic stories that exist between reality and fantasy. Whether it's a struggle to appear interesting, a fight for attention, a quest for companionship or just an effort to portray ourselves in a positive light, lies can be effective for short-term gain. But the line between "cutely attempting to impress someone" and "sociopathy" is vaguely small.
By Bryenn Bierwirth
@bierwirth@karess.com
Let's think about this: imagine advertisements that always told the truth. I'm picturing Blake Griffin, successful NBA player, assertively saying in a commercial to "buy gear at Foot Locker, because they paid me a lot of money to say this." I'm no expert, but I'm not sure that would resonate as well as, "I shop at Foot Locker because it makes me look and play my best." The latter tells me that if I shop at Foot Locker, I can look and play as well as Griffin — Wow, lies make me feel good. But in reality, no amount of Foot Locker gear will make me a 6-foot-10 freak of nature with a 40-inch vertical leap.
Celebrities aren't the only culprits — students deviate from the truth too. Think about your
resume; is everything on there 100 percent accurate? Some of us revel in the idea of coming up with ambiguous terminology to make us sound more salient: "McDonald's fry cook" can easily be reworded as "director of culinary engineering." These lies are the difference between who we are and who we want to be. Lies allow you to manipulate and brand yourself to stick out from competition and, hopefully, gain the attention you're craving for in doing so. Does this make you bad? No, it makes you human.
Lying is viewed as more acceptable in certain positions. For example, we expect politicians to be less honest than scientists. I confess that I've channeled my inner politician under circumstances of severe pressure and scrutiny. I've sold advertisements to companies that cost more than the budget proposed, and may not have had the best interest of the businesses in mind, but of course I assured the companies otherwise. As a result, quota was surpassed, the boss was temporarily happy and my ethical core had been breached.
"How do I approach her? What do I say?" The delirious allure of women can incapacitate any man's speech. At risk of sounding like a bumbling idiom, men often turn to lying, but you can't blame them entirely. Unless you're a student athlete, the truth isn't as amusing to women who have many (male) options. Before too long, men find themselves trying to conceive a lie that can even the playing field or propel them ahead of the competition. I've even seen guys pretend to be in a fraternity in order to gain a sorority girl's attention.
Women inspire men to lie more than anything. Most men quiver when they see an attractive girl:
Don't get me wrong, women lie too, but they seem to be more strategic and less public about it. Unless, of course, someone asks about weight, age and how drunk they actually were last night — then all bets are off. If you want to see this in action, then visit the local lavahawk Cafe.
Everyone lies and everyone knows it's wrong, but deception is just a part our society, similar to racism, sexism and stereotypes. As long as humans have brains, lies will continue to exist.
The world is built on lies. Lies create jobs and conversations, they foster relationships and they help the public sleep at night in blissful ignorance. Who knows how many people would lose their jobs if we all stopped lying. Lies make the world go round, and we don't want the world to stop spinning.

Cope with personal loss through living
GRIEF
We all have suffered through our own losses and each one is difficult to get through in its own way. Losses shape who we are and how we look at others. They often come without warning, hitting us hard, not even giving us a chance to protect ourselves. But change is the one aspect that is uniform among all losses. They say change is always good, but nothing is good about losing someone close to you. I couldn't comprehend the loss of my teammate — my friend. The closest thing to a brother I ever had. I was devastated, and I saw everyone else hurting as much as I was. That only hurt me more. But we all were able to help each other. Time helped. The community helped. It made everyone affected stronger, and gave us a feeling we had never felt before. Even if we had lost someone close before, this was different. Tyler Rathun was different.
I had known Tyler since middle school, but didn't become close to him until my junior year of high school. That was when we became teammates on and off the soccer field and created a bond I never could have imagined.
Now all I have is memories. I still think about walking out of the church that day. I can still hear the piano, and I can still hear the eerie silence from the walk back to my high school. I had to put my arms around two of my

friends as I walked. I had to lean on them. My body was so weak. I still cannot explain it. My mind could not comprehend the pain I was going through.
I had a soccer game that night.
The first in awhile I had played in without him on the field. We tied 1-1. There wasn't a minute he wasn't on my mind. When the final whistle blew, I fought off tears. But they fought back. As I walked off the turf, my face got red. My hands covered my eyes, and I bawled.
I saw the freshly sharpie-written "14" on the toe of my cleats as I took them off. I took a deep breath, and stopped crying. He wouldn't have wanted me to cry.
As I sat on the chilly turf that cold November night, my body was weak. I tried to get back to my feet. It hurt; it hurt to get up. I didn't want to. But the thought of Tyler got me up, because I know he wouldn't have stayed down if he was in my cleats. He wouldn't complain, he wouldn't feel sorry for himself. He would get up. And so I did.

lately electronic.
The band will be performing their latest songs, "Blush" and "Be A Toy," along with several songs from their upcoming EP, "Spring Songs," which will be released Nov. 12. This latest release is an extension of their last full-length album, "Floral Green."
Gary Stark, the band's publicist, said in an email, "Title Fight is one of the most intense and tightest live bands out there. Their entire set is packed with energy. I've never seen as much stage diving or crowd surfing in my life."
Chicago-based daily music reviewer Pitchfork Media said, "... the guitars and vocals are seared with warm distortion rather than shellacked with studio polish, while retaining the melody and energy that make Title Fight stand out amongst the Warped Tour crown to begin with."
Their album "Floral Green" was released in 2012 and landed at No. 67 on the Billboard Top Current
Albums chart.
Title Fight last played in Lawrence in January. "They don't play in Lawrence very often," Stark said. "So it will give fans that weren't able to get into their last show, or couldn't make it out, another chance to see them."
Lawrence is Title Fight's next stop on their month-long tour. They started in Baltimore, Md., on Sept. 12 and will wrap up in Patchogue, N.Y., on Oct. 13.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $14.

Jailed Pussy Riot member ends nine-day hunger strike
MOSCOW — An imprisoned member of the punk band Pussy Riot ended her nine-day hunger strike on Tuesday but her husband said she has vowed to restart it if she is not moved to another prison.
Pyotr Verzilov told The Associated Press that his wife, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, was in stable condition after a hunger strike to protest working conditions in the women's prison where she is serving a two-year sentence.
the hunger strike.
The Federal Penitentiary Service confirmed that Tolokonnikova ended the hunger strike on Tuesday, two days after she was transferred to a prison hospital. Her lawyer, Irina Khrunova, said her client's deteriorating health had been the main factor in calling off
She and two other members of the group were convicted of hooliganism for performing a provocative "punk prayer" in Moscow's main Orthodox cathedral in 2012 denouncing Vladimir Putin, who was returning to the Russian presidency.
In a passionate, five-page letter on Sept. 23, Tolokonnikovna described slave-like conditions at Penal Colony No. 14 in the Mordovia region, about 500 kilometers (300 miles) east of Moscow. She said the inmates were working 16-hour days and most weekends sewing police uniforms on machines that required constant repair. Members of brigades that failed to meet their quotas were punished by being denied food, prevented from using the bathroom or made to stand outside in the cold, she wrote.
Tolokonnikova also complained of threats from prison administrators, who she said used prisoners to terrorize their fellow inmates.
Prison authorities have dismissed Tolokonnikova's allegations.
But the end of the hunger strike came the same day as members of the Russian Presidential Human Rights Council published reports confirming her description of the working conditions, based on their visit last week to
Four members of the council detailed dozens of interviews with other inmates, who reiterated many of Tolokonnikova's claims. But they stopped short of supporting her demand to be moved to another penal colony, suggesting instead she be moved to a different division within the prison. They also asserted there was not enough evidence to warrant a criminal investigation into the conduct of prison officials.
Tolokonnikova was expected to remain in the prison hospital for at least several weeks. According to her husband, she will agree to return to Penal Colony No. 14 only if a criminal investigation is opened.

Homecoming: Television style
Get into the homecoming spirit with these TV episodes
KAITLYN HILGERS
khilgers@kansan.com
With homecoming being such an affair, it would make sense for many television shows about college or high school to incorporate the event into their storylines. Alas, finding shows that featured an episode revolving around the event was surprisingly difficult. No worries though, friends, your trusty TV addict has been able to pick out a few in order to get you in the spirit of homecoming.
Vampire Dianes
THURSDAY 9/7
"Vampire Diaries" – "Homecoming" (Season 3, Episode 9)
ABC
While this particular episode focuses more on the homecoming dance than the actual football game, it still deserves to be on the list. The main reason I added it was because this episode was freakishly intense. As you "Vampire Diaries" fans know, almost every episode is drama-filled, however, even with all the different dilemmas that the characters face in this particular episode, it really makes sure to capture the drama that sometimes surrounds homecoming.
CW
ROSEANNE
Recycle this paper
"Roseanne" - "Home-
coming" (Season 6,
Enpisode 9)
Speaking of alumni revisiting their glory days during homecoming, "Roseanne" demonstrates this in the homecoming episode in season six. Again, the drama is abundant. While the episode focuses less on the actual homecoming portion and more so on Roseanne trying to "fix" things as usual, it really made me think about what would be on my mind if I ever came back to my high school or the University for homecoming. How much will have changed if I come back in 10 years? More importantly, how will I have changed since I was a student? I guess I was asking myself some pretty deep questions, which is strange, seeing as I was watching "Roseanne."
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS
1 RIDAYS 9/8C-8 HBC
WB
Dawson's Creek
NBC
"Friday Night Lights" – "Homecoming" (Season 1, Enpisode 7)
Obviously, unlike the previous series, "Friday Night Lights" focuses much more on the actual football game that is customary during the homecoming festivities. As well as the game, this show also illustrates another aspect of homecoming: the alumni. And of course, the return of the alumni brings back wonderful memories along with, especially in this particular episode, some shady secrets. "Friday Night Lights" reminds us that homecoming is not just for the current students but also for the alumni to revisit their old home.
"Dawson's Creek" - "Homecoming" (Season 3, Episode 2)
Now "Dawson's Creek" fans will know that homecoming is not such a strange plot line in the show (for example, season two had an episode — "The Dance" — which also focused on homecoming). What makes this particular episode a little bit more interesting, and a little bit more worthy of being in this article, is the fact that it doesn't focus on alumni, the dance or the game. Instead, it focuses on the other activities that happen during this exciting time of year, such as the pep rally. While those customs aren't as common in college, perhaps it can be related to some of the fun events that the University and the Homecoming Steering Committee plan for the student population.
If there was a way to combine all of these episodes into one giant mash-up of homecoming episodes, we really would have the entire experience (well, at least the high school experience of homecoming). Even though that is impossible, all of these episodes do remind us of something: Homecoming is an awesome time and everyone should try and enjoy at a portion of it. So go forth, pick something to participate in and have fun fellow students; I know I will. See ya out there!

People wait in line to see a movie during the Rio Film Festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Sept. 28. The country is on track to make 100 feature films this year, up from 30 in 2003, and it also increasingly sought out by foreign productions cashing in on the government's generous subsidies and incentives.
Rio de Janeiro dreams of (being) Hollywood
FILM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIO DE JANEIRO — For Mayor Eduardo Paes, it's not enough that Rio de Janeiro is both an Olympic and a World Cup host city. He's determined to turn Rio into a Woody Allen city, too, and has gone to extraordinary lengths to persuade the director to shoot a movie here, meeting with Allen's sister, dispatching him handwritten notes and even pledging to underwrite 100 percent of production costs.
Allen hasn't taken Paes up on his offer, but the mayor continues to lobby hard. Scoring a film by the legendary director would help cement Paes' vision for the city; to turn Rio into a cinema hub, the Los Angeles of South America.
While Hollywood needn't watch its back just yet, there's no doubt that Brazil's film industry is booming, as the Rio film festival that runs through Oct. 10 puts on display.
The country is on track to make 100 feature films this year, up from 30 in 2003, and it's increasingly sought out by foreign productions cashing in on the government's generous subsidies and incentives. New studio complexes are in the works, and cinemas are mushrooming across Brazil to keep pace with ever-growing numbers of movie-goers, many of them new members of the middle class who were pulled out of poverty by a decade of booming economic growth.
"The big shift is that now many more people have disposable income," said Adrien Muselet, chief operating officer of RioFilme, the city government's film finance company. "Once you've covered your basic necessities, bought your fridge and your washing machine, what do you want next? Fun. And for many people, that means the movies."
bureauracry, helping them get the dizzying number of permits and permissions needed to shoot. The Rio Film Commission also hopes to increasingly help foreign productions find Brazilian investors, allowing them to qualify for the government subsidies and incentives that make up the lion's share of practically all movie budgets here.
"When you take an American blockbuster and you set it here in Brazil, even for just a couple of scenes, it just explodes in the box office here," said Muselet, pointing to "Breaking Dawn," part of the "Twilight" series of teen vampire movies, which was filmed partially on location in Rio and the coastal colonial city of Paraty. Brazilians flocked to the movie, and the country ended up being the film's second
Producer Aaron Berger, an American who works in both Rio and Los Angeles, said the subsidies helped get things rolling for his series "Gaby Estrela," which is about to premier on Globo TV's kids cable channel Gloob. "It was a tremendous boost for us," he said. Over the past decade, the federal government has spent more than $450 million on films, and many state and city governments also invest in movies made locally, provided they meet requirements that typically include hiring at

The new viewers have helped push Brazil's box office gross from $327 million in 2008 to $737 million last year, according to the trade publication Filme B. That puts Brazil among the top 10 movie consuming countries in the world, said Musetel, and the industry is taking note.

Rio officials also hope movies made here will help burnish the image of a city mostly notorious for its grinding poverty and drug-fueled violence, particularly as Rio gears up to host next year's soccer World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.

OFF SOUND
DFA/CAPITOL
Title: Someone Great
Artist: LCD Soundsystem
Big Head Todd
AND THE MO NSTERS
sister sweetly
LCD Soundsystem was founded in 2002 by musician/producer James Murphy. "Someone Great" is a clash of interesting — and varying — electronic beats and sample-sounds. Personally, one of my favorite features of this track is the faint, lingering sound of what seems to be fingers sliding on an electric guitar.
Album: Sound of Silver (2007)
GIANT
**Title:** Bittersweet
**Artist:** Big Head Todd & The Monsters
**Album:** Sister Sweetty (1993)
"Bittersweet" is one of the better-known Big Head Todd and the Monsters singles from the 90s. It's a compromise of classic blues-sounding guitar parts with a simple drum beat to keep the rhythm. With a chorus that passionately repeats the lines, "it's bittersweet, / more sweet than bitter, / more bitter than sweet," this song is one that has the potential to get stuck in any listener's head at any point in the day.
BOR
DYLAN
DESIRE
DOH
COLUMBIA
**Title:** Isis
**Artist:** Bob Dylan
**Album:** Desire (1976)
Lest we forget Bob Dylan and his influence on contemporary music, the piano-laden track "lisi" is in this week's Songs of the Day. "lisi" was released on Dylan's 1976 record entitled "Desire," an album which also included his well-known single "Hurricane." The song has a great array of instruments, including a violin and harmonica, that back up Dylan's story-like lyrics during the instrumental breaks.
TAME IMPALA
INNERSPEAKER
MODULAR RECORDINGS
Title: Alter Ego
Album: InnerSpeaker (2010)
Artist: Tame Impala
Tame Impala is the kind of band that does a great job of blending genres. "Alter Ego" gives a more progressive sound to the more electronic-based end of the music industry. The song gives way to a fast-tempo and ethereal-sounding vocals that echo and reverberate throughout. The rhythm section consistently keeps its power and allows the music to deliver strongly until the end.

'The Simpsons' to kill off character in the next season
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
NEW YORK — "The Simpsons" may be going strong in its 25th season, but a major character from the long-running animated series will soon meet his or her maker.
In a conference call with reporters last week, executive producer Al Jean revealed plans to kill off a character in the season ahead.
"We're actually working on a script where a character will pass away," Jean said. "I'll give a clue that the actor playing the character won an Emmy for playing that character, but I won't say who it is."
"Simpson's" fanatics will know that this hint doesn't exactly narrow things down: Nearly every member of the core ensemble of voice-over performers has won an Emmy, including Dan Castellaneta (Homer, Barney, Krusty), Julie Kavner (Marge, Patty, Selma), Hank Azaria (Apu, practically everyone else on the show), Nancy Cartwright (Bart) and Yeardley Smith (Lisa).
Even a few guest stars have picked up Emmys for "Simpsons" appearances, including Anne Hathaway for voicing Princess Penelope and Kelsey Grammer for Sideshow Bob.
In other words, pretty much anyone could go. Death has come to Springfield in the past, most recently with the untimely passing of Maude Flanders, wife of the Simpsons' preternaturally cheerful next-door neighbor Ned, who bit the dust after falling off a grandstand at the racetrack.
The 25th season of "The Simpson's" premiered Sunday night with a "Homeland" spoof guest starring Kristen Wig. In the press call, Jean also teased some other highlights in the season ahead, including a "Futurama" crossover episode set to air sometime in May and a wedding, officiated by Stan Lee, for Comic Book Guy.

Young Texas Tech team rightfully turns heads
CHRIS HYBL
chybl@kansan.com
It turns out that, like Kansas, the Texas Tech football program wasn't too fond of the preseason Big 12 rankings put out this year. Looking back, getting picked to finish seventh in the league was downright disrespectful.
What the Red Raiders are more fond of is the No. 20 spot they hold on the AP poll's most recent college football ranking. Tech's stats will let you know why. The Red Raiders are third when it comes to most passing yards per game in the FBS at 408.5 yards per game (more than any amount given up as a total by the Kansas defense this season).
The defense doesn't mess around either. The squad is tenth in the nation in fewest points allowed per game (13.3). A conference-untested Kansas defense and offense will have their hands full Saturday; maybe even overflowing.
What makes Texas Tech's statline even more eye-popping is the lack of experience doing it.
First, Texas Tech's new 34-year-old coach Klugs Kungswain is in his first year as a head coach. But it's not his first time in the black and red. Kingsbury quarterbacked the
early, former pass-minded Texas Tech coach Mike Leach's offense from 2000 to 2002. Kingsbury was 2002 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and practically rewrote the school's record book, setting 39 records in his tenure. Not to mention, Kingsbury was drafted by the Patriots in 2003, going to work every day with a more locally well-known man: Charlie Weis.
For Kingsbury's grand entrance, he chose to start quarterback Baker Mayfield for the team's season opener against SMU because presumed sophomore starting quarterback Michael Brewer was sidelined after a preseason back injury. Mayfield is believed to be the first true freshman walk-on to ever start a college football season opener. In the opening 41-23 win against SMU, Mayfield threw 413 yards with four TDs. Mayfield also helped route Stephen F. Austin 61-13 in Tech's second game with 367 yards and three TDs in the first half.
But a three interception performance against TCU in Tech's conference debut triggered warning signals. Tech's other option at quarterback, Davis Webb, another freshman, got plenty of reps in the TCU game and started in Tech's
33-7 win over Texas State last week. Webb finished with 43 pass attempts, and Mayfield finished with 20.
It's a coin toss guessing who Kansas will see start on Saturday, but it is safe to say that Kansas will see both quarterbacks at some point. That's because together, the two quarterbacks have thrown eight interceptions in just four games. If one throws an interception, they're in the substitution hot seat. Even with the third most productive passing offense in the nation, things have gotten a little wild.
"We've got to do a lot better with that position overall," Kingsbury said after Tech's win over Texas State. "I told them both they're probably going to play the rest of the year. Two freshman quarterbacks, that's what you get early on and we'll continue to get better."
And just to make things a little crazier, Kingsbury told reporters Monday that sophomore quarterback Michael Brewer will begin to do "on the field stuff" this week at practice. The Kansas secondary has a lot of different scenarios to prepare for.

Texas Tech at 4-0 is a formidable foe for Kansas

It's been 1,063 days since the Kansas Jayhawks won a conference football game.
football game
The labywhacks will attempt to end
The Jayhawks win at this losing streak on Saturday when they face Texas Tech, a team that is atop the Big 12 and 4-0.
- the two share play
the two share pay- ing time at QB, but Webb is the true backup. It is unclear who will start the game on Saturday.
"We have to score way more points than we've been scoring. And it's really that simple."
Tech's high-powered offense is averaging about 40 points per game, while opponents only average 13 points.
How the teams match up On average, the Jayhawks score 20 points per game, but this has been
against unranked, non-conference teams. Coach Charlie Weis said his offense would have to come ready to match the fast tempo.
Similarly, the Jayhawks' defense will have to make adjustments to shut down the Red Raiders' high-powered offense on Saturday.
"the tempo they play at, you don't have a lot of time, during a series
CHARLIE WEIS
Coach
to make mass personnel adjustments" coach Charlie Weis said.
Texas Tech's go-to guy, Jace Amaro, is listed as tight end, but is a versatile part of the Red Raiders' team.
Weis said Victor Simmons would likely match up with Amaro; both share similar size and speed.
Weis also mentioned that, to be successful in the Big 12, his offense especially needed to convert on third downs and in the red zone.
"We have to score way more points than what we've been scoring. And it's really that simple." Weis said.
Weis is relying on leaders such as James Sims and Tony Pierson to lead the attack on Texas Tech. Sims has 55 carries for 281 yards and two touchdowns. Pierson has 15 receptions for 209 yards and one touchdown.
Kansas special teams
"Now, when we kick the ball off, we're not holding our breath anymore." Weis said. "If it's not a touchback, it's going to be sky-high on the goal line and we have a chance to tackle him inside the 20 [yard line]."
But the special teams have made the difference in each of Kansas's games so far this season. Weis spoke highly of Matthew Wyman's work.
Weis stressed that the Jayhawks despite being on the lower end of the Big 12 - were slowly improving.
And if they can win on Saturday, the Jayhawks could show true progress.

CHICAGO — Brandon Saad, Johnny Oduya and Marian Hossa scored in the third period, and the Chicago Blackhawks kicked off their Stanley Cup title defense with a 6-4 victory over Mikhail Grabovsky and the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night.
Patrick Kane, Brent Seabrook and Brandon Bollig also scored for Chicago, which won its first game for the second straight season. Corey Crawford made 28 saves, including a couple of huge stops when the Blackhawks killed off a late 5-on-3 power play.
Blackhawks win opener, raise championship banner
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chicago ruined Los Angeles' title celebration with a 5-2 victory in last season's opener, and then set an NHL record by recording at least one point in its first 24 games. The fast start played a key role in the Blackhawks' run to the Stanley Cup title, and coach Joel Quenneville made it clear in training camp that another opening surge is a priority.
Grabovsky had three goals and an assistant in his first game since he signed with Washington in August. Alex Ovechkin had a goal and an
Grabovsky had consecutive power-play goals in the third, lifting Washington to a 3-2 lead with 14:44 left. But Saad finished a beautiful give-and-go with Michal Handzus, and Oduya converted a long shot at 13:53 to put the Blackhawks ahead to stay.
Oduya caught a fortunate break on his 32nd birthday when his fluttering shot went in off the glove of goalie Braden Holtby on its way to the net.
Hossa finished the scoring when he was dragged down from behind as he skated toward an empty net in the final seconds, prompting the officials to award him with an insurance goal.
Holtby finished with 29 saves in Washington's first game in Chicago since March 18, 2012. NHL teams played games strictly within their own conference last season after the lockout cut the campaign nearly in half.
Cheered on by a raucous crowd of 22,158, the Blackhawks staged one last celebration of the franchise's fifth title. The team handed out special wristbands that lit up during parts of the pregame ceremony, making the rows of seats at the United Center look like a clear night sky full of stars.
assist, but the Capitals dropped their opener for the second straight season.
The wristband lights were joined by camera flashes as a group of
After Ovechkin tied it with a power-play goal, Kane sent a wrist shot past Holtby to make it 2-1 at 11:06. Kane won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP when the Blackhawks made their run to the championship.
Front office staff and players posed for a picture with the banner hanging just over the ice. It was then raised to the top while the crowd roared.
youth hockey players presented the championship banner to the 19 returning players from last year's squad, who carried it to the spot for its trip to the rafters.
Chicago then brushed aside any concern of a letdown caused by the banner ceremony and grabbed the lead when Bollig stuffed home a rebound 4:06 in for his first career regular-season goal.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"We signed almost all of our draft picks last year and this year we do have some depth in the system and some big-time draft picks in there that will come up in waves. This year we established some guys that could play in the big leagues and we've got a nucleus, and now we'll start adding to that as the offseason comes on and start spending a little money."

THE MORNING BREW Royals prove rebuilding is possible
It's finally over.
The 2013 Major League Baseball season has ended, at least for the teams that didn't make the playoffs. One of those teams, my hometown team, the Houston Astros, just completed another historic season — a historically bad season, that is.
Houston finished the season 51-111, setting a franchise record for the most losses in a season for the third year in a row. Just when Astros fans thought things couldn't get any worse, the month of September happened, where Houston lost its last 15 games of the season, with seven decided by one run and three in extra innings. They competed, but couldn't find a way to get a 'W' after Sept. 13.
By Evan Dunbar
edunbar@kansan.com
This season was historic for Houston for another reason as well, the Astros became the first team to lose 100 games in three straight seasons since the Kansas City Royals did it in 2004 to 2006.
But the Royals' season this year was the polar opposite of the Astros. Kansas City was in playoff contention in September for the first time in many years, renewing passion in their fans and providing exciting baseball in the final weeks. It has taken them
a few years, but the Royals are once again a contender in the AL Central. And if the Astros want to bring prominence back to a franchise that went to its first World Series just eight years ago, it should look no further than Kansas City.
Although the Royals missed the playoffs this season, they had their first winning season since 2003, going 86-76. It has taken a few years of drafting, talent development, trades and a lot of losses, but the Royals have finally given their fans a winning product — something Astros fans, myself included, can only dream of.
The Royals have assembled young talent that is now producing on the field. Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Billy Butler, Al-
cides Escobar and Alex Gordon are part of a main core group of players that the Royals can rely on for the significant future. With the addition of veterans James Shields, Ervin Santana and Jeremy Guthrie, the Royals have the most complete team the franchise has seen in over a decade.
Seeing people around campus wearing Royals shirts and jerseys this September made me realize that I hadn't given my Astros gear a second thought since May. By then the team was already so far out of contention that I didn't want to embarrass myself by being seen in anything Astros related.
The Astros have started to rebuild, trading away players for cash, draft picks and prospects. Former star players Carlos Lee, Roy Oswalt, Lance Berkman, Brett Meyers, Hunter Pence and Bud Norrish have all been traded within the last three seasons, as the Astros have been building up their farm system with young prospects in search for the next face of the franchise.
What critics have said the Astros need to do — and what Kansas City has successfully done recently — is start spending more money. The Astros have the lowest payroll
KU
in baseball at just over
in baseball at just over $13 million. To put that into perspective, 64 players in Major League Baseball make more individually in one season than the entire Houston team.
Erik Bedard, Houston's highest paid player at $1.15 million, wouldn't even be in Kansas City's top 10. Recent free agent pick up James Shields, whom I mentioned earlier, made $11 million this season. Another free agent pick up, Ervin Santana, is making $13 million.
The bottom line is this: If Houston wants to take that next step — the step that Kansas City took this season — and contend in its division once again, it needs to take a page out of the Royals' book, and open up its checkbook.

Pirates beat Reds 6-2 in National League wild-card game
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates went 21 years between playoff games. The wait will be significantly shorter this time around.
Russell Martin homered twice, Francisco Liriano was dominant for seven innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates roared past Cincinnati for a 6-2 victory in the NL wild-card game Tuesday night.
In front of a black-clad crowd savoring its first postseason game since 1992, Marlon Byrd also connected and Andrew McCutchen had two hits and reached base four times for Pittsburgh.
"We're for real." McCutchen said.
"We're definitely for real."
Liriano scattered four hits for the Pirates, who will face St. Louis in Game 1 of the NL division series Thursday. Liriano struck out five and walked one to win the first playoff game of his career.
"We didn't talk about one and done, we talked about one and run," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Win one and run to St. Louis."
Byrd, acquired by the Pirates in
Cincinnati starter Johnny Cueto struggled in his third start since coming off the disabled list last month. Cueto gave up four runs in 3-1-3 innings and appeared rattled by a raucous ballpark that taunted him throughout by chanting his name.
iate August from the New York Mets, celebrated the first postseason at bat of his 12-year career — 1,250 games — by sending Cueto's fastball into the seats to give the Pirates the lead. The shot sent another jolt through an already electric crowd, which began singing "Cueto, Cue-to" in unison when Martin stepped in.
Martin sent a drive into the bleachers in left field. The Reds never recovered, ending a 90-win season with a six-game losing streak.
Three of those losses came against Pittsburgh at Cincinnati in the final series of the season that determined the site of the win-or-die game.
Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker backed Cueto before the game, saying his ace "thrives on this environment." Maybe, but the right-hander never looked comfortable in front of the largest crowd in PNC Park history, a place where Cueto has dominated.
Cueto, who came in 8-2 at the ballpark by the Allegheny River, even lost his grip on the ball while standing on the mound.
A moment later, he lost his grip on the game.
Martin's 405-foot shot to left-center gave Pittsburgh a 2-0 lead and all the momentum Liriano would require.
Signed on the cheap in the off-season after a mediocre 2012 split
between the Minnesota Twins and the Chicago White Sox, Liriano has been reborn in Pittsburgh. He went 16-8 with a 3.02 ERA during the regular season, his devastating slider nearly unhittable against left-handers.
The Reds proved no match. Joey Votto went on for 4 with two strikeouts. Jay Bruce produced an RBI single in the fourth but Cincinnati never really threatened on a night baseball officially returned to Pittsburgh after a 20-year trek through purgatory.
Shin-Soo Choo homered in the eighth, a drive to right field that was upheld by video review.
Pittsburgh's 94-win regular season reigned a relationship with
by years of mismanagement and miserable play. When the gates opened two hours before the first pitch, fans — most of them dressed in black at the urging of MVP candidate McCutchen — sprinted to their seats in anticipation of the club's first postseason game since Atlanta's Sid Bream slid into home ahead of Barry Bonds' throw in the bottom of the ninth in Game 7 of the 1992 National League championship series.
The victory sent the Braves to the World Series and the Pirates into an abyss it took an entire generation to escape.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little discussed a number of University-related issues on Wednesday, including the declining enrollment numbers, the record-setting freshman class and the ongoing situation surrounding David Guth, professor of journalism.

"We have made an effort to make sure we are present everywhere in Kansas, and we have lots of recruiters who are posted in other areas on an ongoing basis," Gray-Little said. "But we've also emphasized program changes and things we're trying to do to improve the students' experience, so that's attracted more students as well."

The chancellor said that while the high test scores are something to be proud of, she expects more from incoming students.
"The goal is not so much ACT scores, it's to get students who have the background to succeed when they get here," she said. "The long-term goal is to have students who are prepared, can get through the first couple of years and be successful and graduate, and to convey to students in high school that just doing the minimum in high school is not enough to be successful in college."
The chancellor also addressed the ongoing situation surrounding David Guth, professor of journalism. The University placed Guth on indefinite administrative leave following a controversial tweet he

Freshman Andrew Wiggins returns to his team during the men's basketball Media Day. Jayhawks fans are eager to see how Wiggins will develop during the season.
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Andrew Wiggins hears people talking about him. He chooses not to listen.
"I know he had a GQ photo shoot last week," Rob Fulford, Wiggins high school coach said. "I can promise you unless somebody hands him the magazine, he'll never see it. He just wants to play basketball."
Some might be at newsstands waiting for the issue to stock the shelves, while others tweet out links. Not this kid.
No matter how bright the lights get, the demeanor of Kansas' star freshman remains the same.
Because Andrew Wiggins knows the truth: he still needs to get better.
"I need to work on off-the-ball defending." Wiggins said during Kansas' media day before an elongated pause. "Nothing is perfect."
It's not that Wiggins can't be the best player, or that he hasn't shown he may already be. The truth about Wiggins is that he hasn't been able to do it for a complete game. Instead, the grand hype is matched in spurts. At various points he'll show off his mixtape-worthy talent. And at others he'll get by on his athletic ability.
The truth about Andrew Wiggins is that he morphs into a phenom for short sprints. Fortunately for the Jayhawks, Bill Self coaches marathons.
"Everyone would like for him to have that switch on all the time," Fulford said. "That's one of the things that we worked on with him here, but that's why Self makes the big bucks. It will come. It's going to take some time."
Self acknowledged Wiggins' talent, saying he could be the best scorer, or the best rebounder, the best ball handler, the best teammate, he just hasn't been able to put it all together.
In West Virginia, Grant Traylor got an up close look at Wiggins while covering Huntington Prep for the Herald-Dispatch. During
his senior season, Wiggins averaged 23.4 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks. Trayler witnessed
the bursts as well as the rest of the game.
"He's got to get it into his mind set that he's going to dominate for a full 40 minutes," Traylor said while acknowledging the most important aspect. "It's not an effort issue."
says, once the switch is flipped it's game over. The issue is more mental than anything else.
"He's got to get it into his mindset that he's going to dominate for a full 40 minutes. It's not an effort issue."
Nope. Wiggins can dominate when he chooses, and as Traylor

He'll need to get bigger and stronger as he prepares for a likely NBA career, but there are more pressing matters at the moment.
"He has a ton of potential but he's just a freshman, he's going to be finding his way just like everybody else," Self said. "He can do a lot of things but if he doesn't do it every possession, he won't do any of them."
But Wiggins said it best.
"I think it's something I

And there are those who misjudge Wiggins for just that.

How to survive football season without losing friends
Nationwide queso sales are rising, watch-checking during Sunday church services is commonplace and conversation on every level of interaction seems to be permeated by mentions of "Harbaugh," "Broncos" and "Kaepernick." However, lost in this surge of feel-good, friendly (to an extent) competition among fantasy football leagues and a collective spike in dad-moods, is a dark, forgotten fraction of American society lost in the shuffle—the football-impaired.
Not to be generalized to a single gender or age group, the existence of an ashamed, confused group of citizens needs to be addressed, and as a member myself, it is my humble hope to aid my peers. My purpose isn't to explain the rules, distinguish the teams or attempt to explain the mass hype surrounding football, because that lies far outside the boundaries of my knowledge. My goal is instead to provide a survival guide for getting through the season without making a total and complete fool of yourself. Because as an FIC (football-impaired-citizen), you have two options: be the obnoxious one loudly proclaiming your distaste for the game while simultaneously annoying the majority and alienating yourself, or play it cool and collected, armed with a few secret weapons at your disposal.
1. Eavesdrop. This isn't a Red Robin, you're not five and your mom isn't kicking you under the table: it's time to forget the rule of, "it's impolite to stare." One of the easiest, most accessible ways to soak up a little football knowledge is through a healthy dose of good, old-fashioned eavesdropping. If you want to fully commit to surviving football season despite your status as an FIC, but think reading long Wikipedia articles about downs and yards sounds like as much fun as brushing your gums with steel wool, then all you have to do is switch your habits in public. Take a page out of the creep-handbook—throw

the sunglasses on, headphones in and music off. The two camo-clad guys sitting next to you on the bus will have no clue that you're soaking up all of their nuggets of wisdom about Alex Smith and Drew Brees. Best of all—you don't need to change your daily routine in the slightest, all you need to do is store a few key phrases in the back of your mind for use in later conversations. Focus on general information; who won what game, and opinion-based-phrases such as: "I can't believe Cutler missed that throw," or "If the Lions' offense keeps this up, I see a bowl in our future." PRO TIP. Eavesdropping is especially advantageous on mornings after game days (Mondays and Tuesdays).
2. Fake it till you make it. As a college student, chances are you have mastered the language of baloney and realize the enormous power of faking it. Now, without
even having to type ESPN into your browser, you've accrued some general knowledge not only of who won the previous night's game, but stored some stranger's opinions you can now modestly claim as your own. If someone directs a football-based-comment your way, you can simply laugh or snarl (given the phrases you stored on the bus), and repeat back the camo-hat-guy's conversation, with a reasonable amount of gusto. You may be feeling overly confident, but caution is crucial. These guidelines will work only in helping you out of a football-based-conversation with minimal damage, not in starting one.
3. Change the subject. When the going gets tough, and the opposite football-proficient party begins pressing you too hard about fouls and flags, forget about fight-or-flight and simply fly. You chugged a water bottle and really need to excuse yourself, right? Oh, how could you have forgotten, you desperately need to print
out your paper before the next hour. Is that your chemistry TA across the street? You definitely need to ask him a question before lab tomorrow. Unfortunately, your cultural handicap doesn't allow for a fully sustained conversation about the Jets, so you'll have to settle for minimal embarrassment and a good blending-in. Life on the run isn't easy, but so goes the existence of us FIC's.
With these guidelines as your mantra, I wish you luck in maneuvering the public sphere during this trying fall season. Remember, you aren't alone, and it could be worse—you could not understand football and not watch Breaking Bad (it's been a rough month). Now for the love of corn-mazes, go to Starbucks where you belong, and sip your pumpkin spice latte in football-ignorant bliss.

Wendy Davis' campaign in Texas forecasts change for Midwest
Back in June, an unheard of state senator in Texas took to the floor of the state
to the floor of the state house to filibuster a bill that would cripple abortion rights in her state. She stood and spoke for 11 hours, gaining attention on social media and applause from liberals around the country for her efforts. While her fight against the bill ultimately failed, activists and spectators around the country became aware of Wendy Davis. More recently, she is said to have informed leading Democrats that she intends to run for governor in 2014.
As of now, the odds are against her. Texas has elected Republican governors by overwhelming margins in the past five gubernatorial elections. Other prominent Democrats in the state, like San Antonio mayor Julian Castro, have already ruled out a 2014 run. In spite of these hurdles, Davis' candidacy should not be taken lightly. In fact, it's easy to see her notoriety and imminent campaign as reflections of a greater movement toward progressive values.
Davis is best known as a staunch proponent of access to reproductive health care — a Supreme Court-guaranteed right that has come under assault in a handful of red states, including Kansas. Republican-led legislatures and governors have enacted laws that restrict the time window for getting an abortion, place unreasonable standards on close medical facilities that offer birth control services and

in some cases make it harder for women (or men) to obtain contraceptives. With her willingness to challenge this trend in such a Republican state, Davis sent a strong message: women's rights proponents are ready to fight tooth-and-nail, even on heavily conservative turf.
But reproductive rights aren't the only area where Davis boasts strong common-sense credentials. In 2011, she also filibustered a bill that would cut $4 billion from Texas public schools, and has been critical of recent cuts to education and health care funding. Environment Texas, a group that rates lawmakers' positions on renewable energy, climate change and conservation efforts, gave her a 100 percent rating in 2011. On the flip side of this, the far-right National Rifle Association has awarded her a lifetime grade of F.
Conservative leaders across the country are also seeing significant blowback for a plethora of unpopular policies, which include the defunding of public education, decreasing access to health care services and so-called voter ID laws that unfairly target minorities and the young. Here in Kansas, Governor Sam Brownback and the Republican legislature face high disapproval numbers, due in part to the decision to cut education funding while extending tax breaks for
large corporations. Republican governors in Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania, to name only a few states, face similar resistance. Citizens across the country are beginning to voice their distaste and outrage over the Tea Party conservative agenda, and this is where Wendy Davis and other progressives have a great opportunity.
But for all this, there is one aspect of the Davis candidacy that stands above all the rest: location. As the nation's second-largest and among the fastest growing states, Texas's political importance can't be overstated. The deeply Republican state also has a huge incarceration rate and high numbers of uninsured residents, but is considered a haven for businesses seeking low taxes and little regulation. If a Democrat won the governor's mansion 13 months from now, there's no telling how big the impact on the country's political future would be. Republicans nationwide would be mortified while Democrats would be galvanized. There's little doubt that ramifications would be felt here in Kansas. But that's getting ahead of the moment. Wendy Davis faces a grueling path to winning next year, and to say her chances are good would be dubious. But the message is clear; win or lose, progressives are ready to fight.

RESOLUTIONS
Social media detracts from real experiences
I am something of an idealist when it comes to New Year's resolutions. I love the promise that comes with a fresh start and a list of things we vow to accomplish.
This summer my dad and I took our family's black-lab mix to the neighborhood dog park. It was barely raining when we left the house, but by the time we got there a beautiful double rainbow had formed over the park.
Instead of enjoying the view, my next several minutes were spent trying (and failing) to get a decent picture of the scene, and consequently becoming frustrated when I couldn't quite put the setting into words, either. By the time I was done with my online dilemma, the moment had passed, and I had barely taken the time to enjoy it.
Just before New Year's, someone sent me a link to a New Year's Resolution Generator. The click of a button reveals more and more ideas for self-betterment, but the one that really stuck with me was simple: "Talk more, tweet less." Just four words, but they can have such a big impact.
Great resolutions, however, can come at any time of the year. I'm a believer that every day provides a new opportunity to change whatever aspect of life you've been neglecting, whether it be schoolwork, finances, relationships or fitness.
Sound familiar? How many times have you seen something cool and immediately thought about which Instagram filter to use? Or you've been having an amazing time with friends, but taken time to agonize over the exact words to use in a Tweet about it?
With the Huffington Post reporting that 73 percent of college students are regularly active on social media sites, it's no surprise we are consumed with perfecting our online identities. And believe me, I'm no stranger to spending 15 minutes finding that perfect profile picture or status update.

Allison Kohn, managing editor akohn@kansan.com
There's no need (or likelihood) of college students cutting social media from their lives completely. I'll still be tweeting, and I know you will, too. But there's no harm in taking a look at our last few posts and wondering what was going on around us while we drafted those 140 characters.
Let's see what we've been missing while our eyes were fixed on phones, laptops and tablets. It might just be that the actual experience is even better than the tweet you're formulating in your head.

HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Try spending today taking in what's around you, rather than the buzzing electronics in your bag. Start by talking to people in class, getting together with the friend you haven't seen in awhile and (God forbid) actually saying hi to people on campus.
Length: 300 words
The submission should include the author's name, grade and hometown. Find our full letter to the editor policy online at kansan.com/letters.
Maybe it's time for us to unplug. If you're experiencing that feeling of anxiety having to sit through class without checking your Facebook notifications, or frustration that your Pinterest isn't as eclectic as those of others you follow, adopt a new resolution with me.
LETTER GUIDELINES
Send letters to kansanopdesk@gmail.com. Write LETTER TO THE EDITOR in the e-mail subject line.

On-campus literary journal seeks student submissions
CAMPUS
TOM DEHART
tdehart@kansan.com
The Siren, an on-campus literary journal, has been publishing pieces of creative writing and art since last fall. Within a year, the publication has achieved moderate success, but is still making attempts around campus and the literary world to expand its audience as well as contributors.
"Being a national publication gives us a larger range of pieces to select from. Over the summer submission period we got pieces from NYU as well as Johns Hopkins University," said Rachel Cross, the Siren's assistant editor. "A good number of submissions definitely come in."
Despite the journal accepting pieces of work that include poetry, fiction, non-fiction and art, the publication is suited more towards writing pieces.
of one another," Cross said.
"When it comes to art, that's something that still needs some working out. We are in the process of finding an art director at the moment, but we do try to place pieces of art we receive with works [of writing] and have them play off
The publication also does interview series with prominent poets as well as other published authors, and has just recently begun another, slightly more light-hearted series of interviews entitled "Ask The Author." These will include less-serious, more comical and laid-back interviews with authors about their individual careers and writing processes.
"Being a national publication gives us a larger range of pieces to select from."
RACHEL CROSS
The Siren assistant editor
"Even though we are really new, we have gotten a lot of recognition," Cross said, referring to the amount of attention the publication received for its interview with National Book Award winning poet Nikki Finney last spring.
"One charm that I think we possess as an undergraduate publication is that we are able to approach authors from a younger and more personal perspective," Cross said.
Though the Siren has already received submissions across the United States and some considerable recognition for past interviews, the publication has continued to take steps to grow further.
"We just recently set up a Public Relations department to help get us more submissions and widen our publication." Cross said. "We also are going to do a show once a month on KJHK that will feature some of the writers that we publish as well as try to do a couple of Sien readings around town that will feature students."
Cross said these radio shows and public readings are all part of an attempt to widen and develop the creative writing community in Lawrence, and to help establish a greater recognition for creative writing at the University.
Poetry, fiction, non-fiction and art submissions can be submitted to sirenjournal.submittable.com/submit.

KU Theater sinks its teeth into adaptation of 'Dracula'
For its first production of the fall season, the University's Department of Theater will present "Dracula," a stage adaptation of Bram Stoker's famous novel.
The show will run Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 18-20 in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.
Show times will be 7:30 p.m. for Friday and Saturday performances and 2:30 p.m. for Sunday matinees. Tickets are $10 for University students, $17 for KU faculty and staff and senior citizens, and $18 for the general public.
Directed and written by Dennis Christilles, the story follows the path of Jonathan Harker, who returns from Transylvania and the employment of a Count Dracula to England. Upon returning, he becomes swept up in the mystery of the strange behavior of patients in a mental asylum. When Professor Van Helsing is brought in and discovers that the work of a vampire is responsible, a whole cast of characters must work together despite their differences to protect their loved ones and bring the vampire
By Kate Miller kmiller@kansan.com
Christilles, who also designed the set, said that one of the most exciting opportunities this play has offered has been the ability to work with a University faculty member in the cast.
Professor John Staniunas, the founder of Musical Theater for Kansas, plays Van Helsing in this production.
"That's one of the most interesting aspects of the play," Christilles said. "How people can work together to do the impossible, despite their differences and own natural prejudices."
"He was on board with the project even before the script was finished," Christilles said. "He's been a great supporter of the project and he does a great job of performing."
The cast of 17 actors has been rehearsing since the first week of school to prepare this season opener, learning new skills to enhance its performance.
Christilles stressed his hope that the work stays true to Stoker's original novel.
"Firing blanks on stage out of an authentic piece is pretty cool," said Kevin Siess, a junior from Wichita who plays Texan Quincy Morris. "That was actually the most fun I've ever had on stage."
Morris and fellow actor Christoph Nevins, a sophomore from Overland Park who plays Arthur Holmwood, hinted at many surprises to be seen during the show. Nevins advised the audience to look forward to Dracula's very first appearance.
"You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be scared," Siess said. "If you like sex and violence, this is the show for you."
["The audience] can expect a good story told well", Christilles said. "I hope that I, and all of us, have done it justice."

Playlist: songs to listen to this homecoming weekend
TOM DEHART
tdehart@kansan.com
DUNCAN MCHENRY
dmchenry@kansan.com
Tom's Picks
Title: My Mind Is Ramblin'
Artist: The Black Keys
Album: Chulahoma: The Songs of junior Kimbrough (2006)
This Black Keys track features the band's classic guitar style. Pulling for a more rhythm and blues style in this song, the group drive home a strong, emotional ballad of a wandering, vacant and dangerous mind that was originally composed by Junior Kimbrough, an influential guitar player and bluesman from the second half of the 20th century. The song has wonderful instrumental breaks and smooth, soulful guitar solos.
Title: The Boys Are Back In Town
Artist: Thin Lizzy
Album: jailbreak (1976)
Album: Jailbreak (1976)
One of the better-known singles of the Dublin-based rock band of the '70s and '80s, "The Boys Are Back In Town" is a snug-fit for homecoming week. Isn't what that
this week is all about, anyways? The alumni will be back in town this weekend, and this track is a great choice for a welcoming song—other than the Alma Mater, of course.
Title: Layla
Artist:Derek & The Dominos
Album:Layla and Other Assorted
Love Songs (1970)
A song written and composed by the much younger version of Eric Clapton, "Layla" is a classic rock track that gets the blood moving from the opening riff. Other versions of this song have been performed over the past 40 years, including an acoustic version by Eric Clapton that received notable recognition. The original version includes an easily recognizable piano part, as well as the trademark long jam session.
**Title:** In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
(Live)
Artist: The Allman Brothers Band
Album: At Fillmore East (1971)
"At Fillmore East" was recorded only six months before one of the band's guitar-players, Duane Allman, died in a motorcycle accident This song is a great example of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts
as a guitar-playing duo. The song was written and composed by Betts, and although there are no lyrics to "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," the song is incredibly full of rhythm.
Title: Doot Doot
Album:Doot Doot (1983)
The first of the early 1980s electronic group, "Doot Doot," is a track that is composed of a simple beat with vocals dubbed in echo effects. The song is rather minimal, but the space that it uses in between each note works incredibly well with the tone of the song.
Title: Tonight, Tonight
Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Mellon Collise and the Infinite Sadness (1996)
"Tonight, Tonight" is a song that is double-dipped in hope and coated with a small amount of sadness, and doesn't fall short of anything that Billy Corgan has ever written. This song was the fourth single off of the Smashing Pumpkin's third studio album "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness."
Title: My Mind Playin' Tricks
Artist: Geto Boys
Album: We Can't Be Stopped.(1991)
Scarface's original rap group, Geto Boys, which may be best known for their single "Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster", was always known for its strong, lyrical expression, and this track is close to one of the band's most poetic tracks. If you haven't already heard this song and are a fan of 90s hip hop, I would recommend a good listen.
Title: It Was A Good Day
Artist: Ice Cube
Album: The Predator/1989
Album: The Predator (1992)
Another older hip-hop track, "It Was A Good Day" is one of his most successful songs as well as one of the better-recognized hip-hop songs of the 90s. The song tells the story of the positive things that happened on a single day in South Central Los Angeles.
Artist: Lil' Wayne
Song: Best Rapper Alive
Album: Tha Carter II (200
Duncan's Picks
sample brings a more diabolic attitude than many Cash Money beats.
**INCLUDES** The Carter, 2008.
"It is Weezy F. Baby, got these rappers in my stomach." Need I say more? This is Wayne at his best, and the grinding electric guitar
Artist: Dr. Dog
Song: Heart It Races
Album: Heart It Races - EP (2007) This song is actually a cover of the song by Australian band Architecture in Helsinki. Pennsylvania natives Dr.Doak take the weird playfulness of the original and infuse carefree harmonies along with a bouncy bassline.
Artist: Daft Punk
Song: Lose Yourself To Dance
Album: Random Access Memories
(2013)
Artist: Metallica
Song: Enter Sandman
Album: Metallica (1991)
Slap bass, Pharrell, the Daft Punk robot voice and funky rhythm guitar — I don't know about you but my disco ball is on already. Lose yourself to dance!
Artist: Metallica
If this one doesn't get you pumped up, you're probably just hard of hearing. The slow buildup of thundering drums along with heavy metal guitar and the vicious vocals of James Hetfield is perfect for
blasting before a basketball game.
Artist: Grimes
Album: Visions (2012)
Grimes is a Canadian electro-pop artist whose music packs a punch at high volumes. Turn the speakers up to fully hear the contrast between her shrill voice and the deeper synthesizers.
Artist: 2. Chainz featuring Big Sean
Song: K.O.
MOVIE REVIEW
Album: T.R.U. Realignion (2011)
This is a chilled out, early morning-type beat that's a bit of a different feel for 2 Chainz. He and Big Sean both deliver rhythmically varied verses and entertaining ad libs. Nod your head to this one.
Artist: Beach House
Song: Walk in the Park
Album: Teen Dream (2010)
There's no other way to describe this song than as flat-out dreamy. Beach House is a two-person band from Baltimore with a love for subdued melodies and intricate sound effects. This is a good track to put on during an afternoon stroll.

Gordon-Levitt throws away cuddly persona for 'Don Jon'
MADDIE MIKINSKI
mmikinski@kansan.com
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a cute and cuddly person at first glance. In movies such as "10 Things I Hate About You" and "(500) Days of Summer," Gordon-Levitt plays the downtrodden, unlucky character we've come to sympathize and associate with him. Last Friday's "Don Jon" ended that cute and cuddly phase with the delicacy of an I-70 wreck. The film, written by, directed by and starring Gordon-Levitt,
takes a sudden departure from Levitt Land.
The movie, set in suburban New Jersey, follows the story of Jersey Shore wannabe Jon and the problems associated with his porn addiction. He watches it all the time and thinks about it even more. He starts to think of it as something that alters his mind, like Internet meth. To him, it's the only way to escape a world full of subpar women and bad drivers, whom he never misses an opportunity to yell at. He only hope for normaly.
His only hope for normalcy
comes in the form of Barbara, played by Scarlett Johansson. Jon meets her at a club one night after a tough day of Internet browsing and working out his biceps.
Barbara seems to be the only person who has the power to change things. Even though he's dating Barbara, Jon can't seem to kick his addiction and it begins to complicate things.
The way Gordon-Levitt deals with Jon's addiction and its consequences is one of the movie's strengths. The script and his character provide
an enthralling look into the mind of someone with a destructive addiction who has no way of controlling it. Jon's situation, though cast in a humorous light, shows the seriousness of addictions in general.
Adding to Gordon-Levitt's performance is Johansson's fantastic portrayal of Barbara. Barbara doesn't understand Jon's addiction and thinks that he'll snap out of it just by hearing the word "no." Johansson plays the role of capricious girlfriend to a T — complete with an obnoxious accent and crazy
eyes. From the beginning it's obvious that Johansson gives Barbara her all and has fun with it.
If "Don Jon" has one drawback, it's the amount of nudity. A bit of nudity goes a long way, and the movie doesn't seem to get that. Instead of adding to the movie, the nudity detracts and steals the focus from a well-developed script and characters. In a theater full of a hundred other people, it can get uncomfortable. The bottom line: don't bring your mom.
the nudity can be forgiven when the rest of the movie is taken into consideration. The script is clever and sincere and only enhanced by the standout performances of Gordon-Levitt and Johansson. Gordon-Levitt's directing and screenwriting debut is stunning, and hopefully there's a lot more to come.
In the grand scheme of things,

TELEVISION
Examining the best and worst TV series finales
KAITLYN HILGERS
khilgers@kansan.com
Whether terrible or terrific, series finales always hold a special place in audiences' hearts. While not all finales were as amazing as the conclusion of "Breaking Bad," some of them came close. Here are the three best and worst series finales of all time. Warning: I know that I promised no spoilers, but there are a few in this article. My apologies.
Worst My So-Called Life
MY so-called LIFE
Lionsgate Television
If I am being totally honest, the final episode of "My So-Called Life" was just as spectacular and heart-wrenchingly beautiful as the rest of the season. However, while I could go on and on about how lovely it was, it didn't cut it as a series finale, only because this show was the prime example of a series that was unjustly cancelled. While the episode itself was amazing, as a series finale it left too many open questions and not enough resolution to leave the audience satisfied.
Freaks and Geeks
FREAKS AND GLEKS
THE COMPLETE SERIES
Dreamworks Television
One of the things I dislike in a series finale, or really in any episode of any TV show, is when a character does something that really just seems out of place or wrong (i.e. Rory Gilmore in seasons 4 and 5). So in the series finale of "Freaks and Geeks" when Lindsay decides to yet again lie to her parents and chooses to follow a band around for a summer instead of go to a college camp for promising students, I literally threw things at my computer screen. After a whole season of talking about how badly she wanted to get away and go to college (also not to mention how she was trying to be a better daughter and sister) she throws it all away for seemingly no reason. I understand what the creators and writers were going for when they had her make this choice, but I refuse to like it.
Dexter
Showtime
DEXTER
One of the worst types of series finales, at least in my opinion, is one that leaves too many open questions. Just like "My So-Called Life," "Dexter" left audiences trying to figure out what became of the character that they had grown so attached to through eight seasons. While "My So-Called Life" has an excuse as they were cancelled, "Dexter" creators, in my mind, simply got lazy and decided to stick their protagonist somewhere else and not tell anyone what he's doing (or if he's still a serial murderer). Again, I understand that the writers probably wanted the audience to have the chance to make up their own ending to please everyone, but it had the opposite effect.
Everyone is mad at you Showtime. Everyone.
Best
Gilmore Girls
Gilmore Girls
LIFE'S SHORT TALK FAST
Warner Bros. Television
I am a huge "Gilmore Girls" fan. The amount of love I have for the show verges on embarrassing. Well, all except for the final season. The minute that writer Amy Sherman-Palladino stopped working on the show, it turned lifeless—except for the series finale. In a triumphant return, the show finally ended the way it was meant to. Each character's story arc came to a
clean and perfect end, and we were finally able to see Lorelai and Rory happy, successful and forever connected.
The Wire
WHERE CHANNEL THE GAME REMAINS THE GAME
THE WIRE
HBO
With a show as intense as "The Wire" it almost seemed as though there was no way to end it.
But, with a simple montage of all of the beloved characters, the creators of the show were able to prove everyone wrong. Not only did they let some of the characters have the happy ending they deserved (which rarely happened during the show), but they were also able to show that the world and society that these characters live in was in a never-ending cycle, and that while our favorite characters might be leaving the television screen, they will forever live on in our hearts. It's corny, but it's true.
WILL AMBER KAREN WOHELL
Running
WILDE
TUE 921
JOURNEY FM
Figure
mostta
Firma
Lionsgate Television
Running Wilde
"Running Wilde" is pretty much the exact opposite example of "My So-Called Life": Even one season of this show was a little bit much. Don't get me wrong, anything with Will Arnett is wonderful and great in my book, but this show used the same formula for every episode and it got a old. It wasn't really that the series finale of this show was spectacular, it was that it got cancelled before it went too crazy. I think everyone can appreciate writers who know when the end has come.

'Obamacare'offers students affordable health insurance
DO YOU NEED HEALTH INSURANCE. NOW WHAT?
JOSE MEDRANO
jmedrano@kansan.com
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Under the Affordable Care Act, students can now remain on their parents' health insurance plans until they turn 26.
The Affordable Care Act's marketplace began its enrollment period on Tuesday aiming to insure millions of Americans who lack health insurance, but how exactly does the healthcare marketplace and the ACA affect college students?
Why students should care
The average emergency room visit can cripple the budget of any uninsured student with bills for an ambulance, X-rays, medical procedures and supplies totaling several thousand dollars. Under the ACA, after March 31, 2014, everyone is required to have health insurance.
To most students, healthcare is something that doesn't cross one's mind until a visit to the emergency room is necessary.
Myers, like many other college students, is covered under his parents' health insurance plan. But according to a report by the American Community Survey performed by the U.S. Census Bureau, an estimated one in four young adults, ages 18-25, were uninsured in Kansas. A Kaiser Family Foundation health tracking poll published in June found that 45 percent of young adults nationwide had not heard about the healthcare marketplace even though 88 percent stated that they needed insurance.
"It's good to have health insurance, but I don't like how it's being forced onto people," Preston Myers, a junior from Liberal, said.
"This notion of invincibility that we're young and don't need it is a calculated risk," said Jarron Saint Onge, assistant professor of sociology and health policy.
"What you find is that there are few jobs that are offering comprehensive healthcare benefits," Saint Onge said. "Especially in initial jobs found right out of college, and I think that this is an opportunity to purchase health care."
What if I already have coverage?
What if it already have coverage?
Due to a rule of the ACA implemented in September of 2010, students who receive their health care from their parents will be able to stay under their parent's health care plan until they are 26.
Students who already have health care from their parents, work place or have an insurance provider do not have to worry about getting a new plan, unless their parents or work place health care provider has opted out and requires them to buy health insurance.
Before the rule was established, insurance companies would typically remove young adults from their parents' coverage after they graduate from college. If a student is already under a plan provided by
Marketplace premiums are based on age, location, income levels and other factors, and are available indifferent tiers of coverage and prices. For example a 21-year-old female who has an income of $15,000 a year and has no dependents may have to pay $1,969 for coverage, with a subside she may be required to only pay $949 of the total cost. The enrollment period will remain open until March 31, 2014 and health care providers may start covering people as early as Jan. 1, 2014.
"The reality of the way the ACA is formatted is that it has to have that healthy young population to balance the older generation."
"The challenge is that you have students who are on their parents insurance, and you also have working class students and those who need it," Saint Onge said. "It's a good option for everyone, but those who need it should take advantage of it."

Saint Ongue said. "You have to have healthy people to pay and balance out the older sicker people."
KU Student Health Services also provides health insurance through UnitedHealthcare with annual student rates beginning at $1,285. More information concerning the UnitedHealthcare plans can be found at uhcsr.com/ku.
It is also necessary for young adults to enroll in the in order to make the ACA work successfully.
"What the ACA really offers is that it provides insurance for people who have pre-existing conditions," Saint Onge said. "In the past when you had a pre-existing condition it was rather hard to find health insurance."
tions can no longer be denied or rejected due to the ACA as well as people who become ill while being insured.
Students who are uninsured and want to view the options that are available can apply online at healthcare.gov. The application process requires that users make an account, apply and fill out a questionnaire. People can compare different plans and rates available by healthcare providers. The

ACA's marketplace has suffered a myriad of problems including overloads, traffic and glitches in its initial days, so be prepared to wait.
According to healthcare.gov people who choose to remain uninsured in 2014 will have to pay a $95 fee or 1 percent of their income, whichever is higher. This fine comes out of an individual's tax refund and is not charged directly toward an individual in the form of a payment. The fee will be raised to $695 or 2.5 percent of an individual's income in 2016. The fee does not mean that someone is insured or has health insurance because they are paying the fine and will have to pay out of pocket for their medical expenses.
Once the open enrollment period closes in March the next period for enrollment won't be open until Oct. 7,2014.More information about enrolling and how the marketplace works can be found at healthcare.gov, by calling (800) 318-2596 or by contacting a local health care agency.

KUMUN prepares for NASCAR fundraiser
MCKENNA HARFORD
mharford@kansan.com
This weekend, in most students are sleeping in, a group of dedicated KU Model United Nations members will be preparing for a 12-hour day that starts at 5 a.m. The KUMMU members are selling concessions at NASCAR this year, one of their biggest fundraisers, after deciding not to do so the past two years.
KUMUN is an organization that aims to help give students the real experience in diplomacy, negotiation, speaking and international politics, as well as insight into how the United Nations works through a series of both Model UN conferences. The NASCAR fundraiser is the primary way that the organization gets the money to send members to both the Southern Regional and the Boston Conferences during the spring.
KUMUN hopes that this fundraiser will bring in around $3,000 after fees. Other funding will come from hosting a high school conference, cleaning Allen Fieldhouse, and recycling at the football games.
"NASCAR is kind of like a hardship because it's freezing, you're working from five to seven that day, and you're together," KUMUN Fundraising Chair Megan Kincaid-Held said. "It sounds weird, but the hardship of NASCAR really bonds us as a group. Committee does too, but at the fundraising events is another chance for us to bond. And when you work well as a team, especially in pairs, then at conference you do way better."
"Our most successful run thus far has been $2,500, but we are shooting for more because we have enough people to split between the stand and floaters who go and help other people." Kincad-Heidel said. "And we have people who can serve alcohol now, so hopefully calls can go up from that."
The money raised will go toward covering travel costs for the members who will participate in
conferences. Depending on how much they bring in, they will decide how many members get to go to each conference.
Conferences are a simulation of real UN proceedings, so the club aims to train members how to think and act like a delegate representing a country.
"Because you are participating in a simulation, you learn research skills, public speaking and collaboration," Joey Hentzler said, president of KUMUN. "It gets you out of your comfort zone. You also learn tolerance and understanding."
In order to prepare for conferences, the club holds informational meetings, which teach basic procedures of the MUN conferences, discuss hot topics and research world affairs. The meetings also allow members to practice speaking and writing skills.
According to Hentzler, the goal of the club is to help train members to have more of a global mindset about issues.
"I'm an idealist, but I hope that [members] recognize what it means to be a global citizen," Hentzler said.
"It's about learning to make yourself think differently about the world."
This global focus of the club has allowed it to grow. This year KUMUN has seen an increase in member size from five members to over 40.
"It's a good way for me to improve my speaking skills, it looks good on a resume, and it helps me get involved," freshman member Rogelio Peschard said.
Currently the club is trying to expand by working with different departments, including history and global studies, to offer a Model UN class. The class would likely fulfill a Core requirement and be offered as soon as next fall.
"Obviously, I want the club to grow in numbers, but I also want it to grow in structure and institution," Henzler said. "I want it to allow voices to be heard."

Cuts in grant money lead to end of KU-Haskell research
REID EGGLESTON .
reggleston@kansan.com
An integral part of the ever-expanding web that connects University of Kansas resources to students at Haskell Indian Nations University has recently fallen victim to the grant-funding chopping block.
The Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement program ended this year, capping a decade of providing Haskell University students with opportunities to work in University research labs.
A program funded by the National Institutes of Health,RISE focused particularly on promising Haskell students who wanted to pursue interests in biomedicine research and go to graduate school.
Dennis O'Malley, the former director of the program at Haskell University, thinks fondly of the students who have found a life's passion in their time as liaison to both the University and Haskell.
"We've helped two students that became SELF scholars complete the program and become competitive students in engineering and one current PhD in toxicology at KU that found something special in the program and is now working on NIH grants," O'Malley said.
Slight academic resource changes at Haskell forced the program to its extinction, including the closing of a math lab related closely with the RISE program, which was intended to make scholars ready for college algebra competency.
But the link between Haskell and the University is far from severed. In fact, five other federally funded groups devoted to research in the
life sciences are thriving. Among these is the Bridge program at the University of Kansas, which helps facilitate students from Haskell make the transition to four-year universities.
"We provide programs to build interests and enhance success in sciences with the goal that students will complete their degrees, go to grad school and become a research scientist," said James Orr, a molecular biology professor and director of the Office for Diversity in Science Training.
"What RISE did was provided opportunities to students that planned to stay at Haskell."
JAMES ORR
Office for Diversity in Science Training director
But the various NIH-funded programs operate a little differently, each bringing unique opportunities to Haskell students who attend a university where teaching faculty rarely do research.
Marvin Wesstops, a fifth-year student at Haskell, looks back in his last two years as a student in the Bridge program with fondness.
“It’s definitely given me some direction. Everyone in the program is really geared towards grad school, and the people that work in my lab will always help me out if I ask, ‘Hey, what’s going on here?’” he said.
Wesstops said he was originally
spurred in his scientific pursuits by the allure of compensation.
"They offered a paid internship, and I needed to work," he said. "The only requirement was that I'd taken a chemistry class and there was a lab available that I wanted to work in, so it all just kind of came together."
The Bridge program is aimed at students involved with large-scale public university research who would like to transfer to a more research-intensive school like the University before completing their undergraduate degree.
"What RISE did was provided opportunities to students that planned to stay at Haskell" Orr said. "But the only science degree offered there is in environmental science."
In a sense, Bridge gives Haskell students a taste of whether a big university might be more suitable for their academic interests, while RISE focused on bringing that research drive back to Haskell. So which has turned out to be the better approach for engaging this minority research population?
Bridge's 14 years on campus with grant extensions on the horizon speaks for itself. Ultimately, Orr is satisfied that these students are getting a science education that inspires them to dig deeper no matter the program he is affiliated with.
"I've always had an interest in helping students achieve their goals, and particularly in assisting students that have not had as many opportunities," he said.

All-nighters may affect more than just your grade
JOSE MEDRANO jmedrano@kansan.com
With exams and projects beginning to pile up, students become more acquainted with all-nighters. But going a full night without sleep just to cram for an exam may do more harm than good, taking a toll on both your mind and your body.
Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown are co-creators of the YouTube channel "AsapScience" a channel which provides weekly videos about fun and interesting topics in science. In a recent video called "What If You Stopped Sleeping?" they discuss how sleep deprivation has been tied in with cardiovascular disease, weight gain, depression and other negative side effects.
But not all of the effects occur so far in the future.
David Dinges, PhD, at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, told Science Daily that "dopamine may increase after sleep deprivation as a compensatory response to the effects of increased sleep drive in the brain." While this may sound appealing, Moffit and Brown explain that this increase in dopamine leads to the shutting down of regions in your brain that
are responsible for making decisions, leading to impulsive behavior.
Moffit and Brown also said that the body begins to suffer from exhaustion after a day without sleep which slows reaction time, reduces cognitive abilities and may cause partial visual impairment.
After consecutive all-nighters, the way the body metabolizes foods also changes and the immune system may begged to weaken. Three days of no sleep can lead to hallucinations, said Moffit and Brown.
"I usually stay up two or three nights a semester, but I don't really keep track."
ALEESHA ATWOOD Kansas City, Kan., sophomore
The amount of sleep that a student gets also correlates with their lifestyle or study habits.
"I usually stay up two or three nights a semester, but I don't really keep track," said Aleshea Atwood, a
sophomore from Kansas City, Kan. Atwood also said that she rarely pulls all-nighters to finish an essay or study.
A study published in the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Journal shows that one all-nighter is not detrimental to health in the long run, but chronic sleep deprivation can cause major health issues.
The damage to your health is not the only reason to avoid all-nighters. A survey of 120 students at St. Lawrence University in New York found that "students who have never pulled an all-nighter have average GPAs of 3.2, compared to 2.95 for those who have."
A study published in BMC Genomics showed that sleep deprivation throws off the circadian rhythm in the brain and heart, which makes it harder to return to a normal sleep cycle. A few nights of improper sleep may require a week or more to return to a proper sleep cycle of six to nine hours a night.
All-nighters may help you complete an unfinished assignment, but the affects on your mental and physical health, as well as your grades, outweigh the benefits.

Downtown bar offers free transportation as part of Tuesday night special
of Tuesday night special
Quinton's Bar and Deli is the place to be— whether it is a Tuesday or Saturday night, the bar offers an indoor and outdoor atmosphere with an abundance of drink specials, and now you have a way of getting there for free.
Located at 615 Massachusetts Street, Quinton's is well known for their sandwiches and bread bowl soups. Those looking for a place to party on Tuesday nights can count on "Quinton's Quuesday." Specials include $2 vodka drinks, $2.50 big beers, $2 kamikaze shots and now a party shuttle
to and from the bar.
Last Tuesday, Quinton's began running a party bus shuttle to and from their bar. From 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Tuesdays, the bus will pick people up and provide them with safe and quick transportation to the bar.
Jamakee Blackburn, Quinton's assistant general manager, said they are trying to figure out the most effective route.
"We have been calling each Greek house and picking up people at certain stops," he said. "It's not only for Greek people though, we are trying to branch out to apartment complexes, as well as people on Kentucky and Tennessee Streets."
The bar draws a fairly large crowd on Tuesday nights. The party bus picked up almost 60 people on the party, which
was only their second week in operation. Quinton's is looking forward to continuing the party bus and increasing interest among the Lawrence community.
Though the bus only runs on Tuesday nights, the bar is also popular among ladies on Saturday nights, offering free cover at the door until 11 p.m. and $2 aquatini shots all night long.
Your group can get your group on the route by calline (785) 842-6560.
"I can't wait to try the party bus," Emily Philbin, a junior from Omaha, said. "Instead of worrying about a ride home, me and my friends can hop on the bus and not worry about walking home late at night."

Sorority's cook serves up more than just food
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
Sigma Kappa's cook Dennis Hill does more than prepare meals for sorority women. He also does maintenance, gives car advice and most importantly, he listens.
Shelby Cato, Sigma Kappa's president, said Hill is a part of their chapter's family.
"On my Facebook page I put cook listener," Hill said. "There's always somebody sitting in that chair, talking."
"The girls look to him as more than a chef," Cato said. "We look to him as a friend and someone who can listen when we have problems." Because he has been around 23 years, he knows the chapter well and is willing to give ideas to the women as well as help out with any event that may need it, Cato said.
"To the chapter he's a big point of stability," Cato said. "He's a constant."
Cato said she remembers one day she was really sick and Hill noticed and decided to make her soup.
"That was two years ago and I still remember it because it was such a thoughtful thing to do." Cato said. "He's always there for us."
Hill said over the years he has perfected his advice because the women go through similar problems, whether it's learning their limits with alcohol or learning to juggle relationships and friendships.
Sometimes Hill deals with more serious issues and said eating disorders are the hardest he's seen.
Though he knows that those situations are outside of his realm of expertise, he tries to watch out for the signs that mean a cry for help. "But once you become friends with somebody you can't just ignore it." Hill said. "That's a tough
situation."
Hill said it is an issue that doesn't happen often, but it's something he seen a few times before.
With other issues, he tries to listen to the girls and give advice that he said is pretty universal.
"I guess that's the advantage of being here year after year after year," Hill said. "You can kind of home some of those messages down to their essence and not sound too preachy or judgmental."
Another difficult part of his job.
Another uncle is saying good-bye to a group of women he's spent several years getting to know.
Though some often come back to visit, they are gone to start their own lives after graduation.
"I'm sure teachers feel the same way sometimes." Hill said.
But, every year a new group of women come to sit in Hill's kitchen to talk about their boy problems, class schedules and food preferences.
Hill said cooking meals for more than 60 different women can be difficult and he wishes they would be more open to trying new things.
The most requested meal is shells and cheese, but Hill always tries to talk them into varying their diets and trying new meals.
"One of my favorite things that girls say is: 'you sound just like my dad,'" he said. "That's great; I love that."
The women of Sigma Kappa consider Hill and the house boys who help him a part of their family.
"It's very laid back," Cato said. "You feel like you're eating a home cooked meal with your family, which you are."
kitchen during mealtime.
"The girls look to him as more than a chef. We look to him as a friend and someone who can listen when we have problems."
That family atmosphere is one of Sigma Kappa's strengths, Hill said, and he sees it among the girls and the house boys, too.
Chatter and laughter fills the
"One of the girls described our waiters: 'they are kind of like your brothers; you love them, but you hate them," Hill said.
Sam Komosa, one of the house
boys, also described Sigma Kappa as a family. He said he has grown close to his coworkers, especially Dennis.
"He's the answer man," Komosa said. "Like you know if there's a problem, and somebody says 'I know a guy...?' He's the
guy"
Komosa said though dinnertime is hectic because of all the preparations, he enjoys the atmosphere.
"It makes for exciting work especially when the girls come in and we get to hear about their day," Komosa said.
They tease each other and they are all friendly, Hill said.
Hill said he joins in and often teases the girls about his favorite part of his job: "There's always a vacation about six weeks around the corner."

Lawrence Arts Center to feature local sculptor's work
ASHLEY BOOKER
abooker@kansan.com
The founding father of 20th-century bronze casting, Elden Tefft, will have his work displayed at the Lawrence Arts Center starting Oct. 25.
The exhibit is a theme show titled "Gossamer: Before and After the Sculpture Moses," and is the first time Teff's work will be displayed at the Arts Center.
At 93 years old, Tefft has created his own foundry and studio where he still works. He built foundries in Central and South America and instigated foundries in Thailand and the Philippines. Tefft returned sculpture founding to China and founded the International Sculpture Center and its conferences. He taught at the University for 40 years, and was awarded the first Governor's Art's Life Time Achievement Award in Art Education in 1997, according to documents by Tefft Terra Studios.
When Tefft was in school, bronze was practically outlawed as a fine arts media by the carve direct school, Elden's son Kim Tefft said. Sculptors had to send plaster models off to foundries in Europe where they would be casted. The problem was, once the model was placed out of the sculptors hands and into someone else's, the carve direct school didn't see it as fine art.
Teftif was frustrated by this technical boundary and after learning techniques of the lost wax process,
created his own foundry. He taught sculptors how to do the process themselves. Lost wax techniques were practiced in a Mexican foundry in Mexico City, where he visited with his mentor, Bernard "Poco" Frazier—the sculptor of the Memorial Campanile bronze panel doors on campus.
Through the progression of his work, Tefft found inspiration from Frazier.
Most people don't realize that the term "solid bronze" does not actually mean the bronze is physically solid, Kim Teft said. This is a type of revelation for people. When bronze is cooled it shrinks, which makes it difficult to cast. A physically solid bronze would be far too heavy.
The term gossamer means gosslike, or see-through. Tefft's mission has been to open up the interior of a sculpture and create negative volume as a form of art. Negative volume lets viewers see how bronze is truly hollow.
Pieces in "Gossamer: Before and After the Sculpture Mosee" will display an exterior form, interior form and interior-interior form.
"Most recently I've been doing some tests that puts a little form inside of the form," Tefft said.
The figure is casted and heat-mold material called investment is bound plaster. A spatula can be used to create a core form, direct wax model is formed over that and a complete mold is created and
molded. So, it's a casting around a casting.
Teft said he felt delighted when the first casting around a casting came together in his sculpture, Nymph, which is one of the most recent editions to the gossamer series.
Teftt said he believes in concepts of contemporary art, which demonstrate an honesty of materials and an honesty to process. An honesty to material is when a material looks like its original form. Honesty of process resembles how the piece was made—for example, Moses (in front of Smith Hall) has modeling tool marks that were used to define the wax's form.
The gossamer series will feature 18 different sculptures. Two separate photos will resemble Moses (statue outside of Smith Hall) and the Fourth #2 (a sculpture at Tefft's residence), both of which are too large to relocate for the show. But, the rest of the sculptures will be in original form, or maquette form—small-scale model.
Tefft's goal is for the show to turn into a traveling exhibit where all of the pieces are kept together.
The exhibit "Gossamer: Before and After the Sculpture Moses" will begin Oct. 25 at Final Fridays at 5 p.m. It will continue to be shown in the front gallery of the Lawrence Arts Center for a month.

THE UNIVERSITY DARRY KANSAM S sports
Pressure on program builds
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Bill Self-coached team with talented players is always going to be good (and eventually, usually great). The last decade has shown us that. But the last three seasons have shown us that Self's magic can't overcome talent disparities, at least when comparing his Jayhawks to the best of the best, whether it be Kentucky two years ago or Louisville last season.
And like the last few seasons, the Jayhawks were going to enter this season without national title expectations. Self was going to work his magic, win 30 or so games, win the Big 12 Tournament, and earn a high seed in the NCAA Tournament. That's just what he does.
That was before May 14, however, when Andrew Wiggins decided to take his
Wiggins
talents to Allen Fieldhouse. The No.1 player in the 2013 recruiting class and one of the
best recruits of the last decade transformed a young, talented, needs-time-to-grow team into real contenders.
Finally.
With players like sophomore forward Perry Ellis and super-freshmen Wayne Selden and Joel Embiid, the Jayhawks might have been better than the past three seasons' teams anyway. But Wiggins' arrival puts real pressure on a program and fanbase that should always have—and welcome—real pressure. The last three teams didn't face that kind of pressure, at least not from the national media or realistic fans. The last two teams to be scrutinized all season, 2008 and 2010, were defined by their successes and failures in March, and this team will be no different.
Bill Self will never have a more highly-touted recruit with Wiggins, who will be in the NBA by next summer. Self may never have more raw talent on a team the rest of his career. And for a coach who has convinced me he could win the Big 12 with five students picked off Jayhawk Boulevard between classes, this team—like 2008 and 2010—will be remembered by everyone for its success or failure in March.
Embrace the pressure. Who wants to root for an underdog, anyway?

THE MORNING BREW Late Night nears amid high expectations
It's that time of year again, the most wonderful time for Jayhawks around the world: this Friday is Late Night in the Phog. The beginning of the basketball season has finally arrived and, like other years, there are plenty of expectations for the upcoming season. Although this always seems to be the case, this year is special, and there is a different level of expectation.
Two years ago, we had Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor leading the Hawks, taking us to become runner-ups in the National Championships. Last year was Ben McLemore and Jeff Withey guiding Kansas up to the Sweet Sixteen. This year, no one knows what the result will be, but it's going to be one heck of a year.

Bill Self was able to recruit one of the best classes in all of the country. He stole the number one pick, Andrew Wiggins, away from both the Kentucky Wildcats and Florida State Seminoles. Alongside
Wiggins, he also recruited Wayne Selden, Conner Frankamp, Brannen Greene and Joel Embiid, who were all part of the Top 50 recruits in the country. Frank Mason was added to be a key player off the bench. This freshman class for the Jayhawks is insanely good, and many sports writers are picking Kansas to go all the way. Well done, Bill Self.
Although the focus is primarily on the men's basketball team, let's not forget about
the women's team. Two years ago, many people believed that head coach Bonnie Henrickson's job was on the line. I was one of those people as well, but she was able to push the girls into the NCAA tournament. What did they do with that opportunity? They surpassed everyone's expectations and made it all the way into the Sweet Sixteen before losing to the dominant Tennessee Vols in a game that was close for most of the time until the very end. That year's tournament run helped save Bonnie's job.
Last year, the women's team had their ups and downs throughout the season and many were worried that they wouldn't make it into the postseason. Luckily, they did, and once again surpassed fan expectations. They made it all the way to the Sweet Sixteen again, before being demolished by the No. 1 seed, Notre Dame. The Irish had an unbelievably great team and the Jayhawks knew how difficult it was facing
KU
them. This year, the bar has been raised even higher.
will Bonnie be able to lead the team all the way?
Belonging to the University of Kansas is something every student should cherish. Whether it's for academics or athletics, be proud of the crimson and blue. So, this Friday, show your school pride at Late Night in the Phog and watch our men's and women's basketball teams show off their skills and see how our history is a part of the rich tradition that occurs at this great school.

Hype for season highest in Self era
bschuster@kansan.com
For 28 years Kansas fans have gathered at Allen Fieldhouse for Late Night In The Phog in early October to catch a first glimpse at the latest addition to the jayhawk history books. Year 29 will most certainly rival all of those that came before it.
"From what I can tell this is probably the most anticipated start of the season since I've been here," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "There's as much hype this year as any."
That might have something – or all – to do with a freshman class that, on paper, can compete with any in the nation. Highlighted by number one overall recruit Andrew Wiggins, the Jayhawks welcome new members such as Conner Frankamp, Joel Embild, Frank Mason, Brannen Greene and Wayne Seldon as well as transfers Tarik Black and Hunter Mickelson. "We've had other good players," Self said. "But there's still the unknown of having a good recruiting class and that has everybody pretty excited."
Or maybe it's the dance moves the players will bust out on James Naismith Court on Friday night at 6:30 p.m. More likely, it's the team scrimmages and skits capped off with a speech to the crowd from Self.
The event is free to the public and seating is first come, first serve. Former Kansas guard Greg Gurley will help host the television broadcast, which can be seen on ESPN3. In the past Late Night has offered a fun look at the new teams for both the men's and women's squads and has even brought celebrity cameos
with the likes of comedian Rob Riggle helping out the jayhawks in previous years.
With all the hype surrounding this season, the University might have to pull out something special to match the intensity of the men's dunk competition. Then again, that might just be enough.

With five weeks of practice and training under their belt, the Jayhawks' rowing season starts this weekend. The Kansas rowing team's first race of the season, the Head of the Oklahoma, is this weekend from Oct. 5-6. The team registered boats in eleven races, including five women's open-class events. As of Oct. 2, the events and number of boats Kansas will be racing with is as follows:
- Women's Collegiate 1x (six boats)
- Women's Collegiate 8+ (four boats)
- Women's Collegiate Novice/Fresh 4+ (one boat)
- Women's Open 2x (four boats)
- Women's Collegiate 4+ (four boats)
Worens' Collegiate 8+ 500m Grand Final (two boats)
Women's Open 2x 500m Grand Final (two boats)
Women's Collegiate 4+ 500m Grand Final (two boats)
- Women's Open 2- (four boats)
- Women's Open 4+ (four boats)
- Women's Open 4x (three boats)
The Kansas rowing team will face familiar Big 12 foes K-State, Texas, and Oklahoma along with competition from fellow Conference USA schools (Kansas belongs to both the Big 12 and Conference USA for rowing). Washington University, Winnipeg Rowing Club and the University of Massachusetts are some of the long-distance travelers that Kansas will race against. In total, 47 clubs and 776 rowers will be on the Oklahoma River this weekend.
Coach Rob Catloth says while fall races tend to be focused on improvement rather than winning, he said he's seen a lot of improvement since the team's first practice in late August
"We've seen good improvement on fitness levels and I think their rowing and understanding how to move the boat is improving." Catloth said.
Last year at the Head of the Oklahoma, the team had mixed success but remained competitive in its races. Kansas had three finishers in the top 10 for women's collegiate 1x and two of the top five for women's open 4+. The team was less than a second off the winning time in women's collegiate 4+ 500m petite final, securing second place in the race.
The Row for the Cure foundation's goal is to provide rowers a way to honor family or friends who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. The organization also acts as a support network for rowers who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
to participate in one of the four "Row for the Cure" featured races in the women's collegiate 4+. Kansas will race with four boats in the race.
Official boat line-ups will be released the day of the event. For live results on race day, visit www.headoftheoklahoma.org.

"We've been doing a lot of technique and lower-intensity swimming to get them ready. But we've been working hard in the stadium," Campbell said. "We do a stadium circuit on Tuesdays and Thursdays and it's definitely getting some fish out of the water. We've also been hitting the weight room and doing some running and things like that.
"Our team's goals are to place top two in the Big 12 and to have a winning dual meet record."
"This meet will start the swim careers of the 11 freshmen on this year's team, including Yulduz Kuchkarova, who swam for Uzbekistan in the 2012 Olympics.

ALISON MOFFIT senior
Seniors Alison Lusk and Morgan Sharp both return this season and are current record holders for the 200-yard breaststroke and the 500-yard freestyle, respectively.
"One of our main team goals this year ... is we are trying to get second at conference this year," Lusk said. "We are going in with a different outlook and a different mindset."
The team placed fourth at the Big 12 Championships last year, with 540.5 points, and had an overall record of 6-4 in dual meets last season.
The meet starts at 3:30 pm at Robinson Natatorium. The Jayhawks go on the road next on October 12 to compete against Air Force. The team's next home meet is November 11 where they will compete against Nebraska-Omaha and North Dakota.

Conference play starts for Kansas soccer this weekend
I STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
Familiar foes lie ahead, as the Kansas soccer team opens conference play this weekend.
Kansas is the only team in the Big 12 that hasn't played at least one conference game yet. The Jayhawks face the Iowa State Cyclones Friday in Ames, Iowa, and return home to host the Texas Longhorns Sunday.
Iowa State (6-5, 0-2 Big 12) started their conference season with a loss to Texas Tech on Sept. 27. The Cyclones had fallen behind 0-2 by halftime, and lost with the final score of 1-2.
Kansas ended the nonconference part of the schedule with a 5-5-1 record, which mirrors the inconsistency of play so far. The team looks to put that behind them and focus on the Big 12 season. Coach Mark Francis said that facing the same programs year after year, means the start of the conference schedule is like the start of a new season.
Sophomore midfielder and defender Haley Albert scored her first goal of the season in the 82nd
minute to give Iowa State its lone goal. The Cyclones also lost to Texas last weekend 1-3.
Iowa State is led in goals by senior forward Jennifer Dominguez. The team's goalkeeper, senior Maddie Jobe, is leading the league with 54 saves. Kansas junior Kaitlyn Stroud is second
in the league with 50 saves. Kansas has a 14-5 record against Iowa State and has won six out of the last seven meetings.
Texas (8-3-1, 2-0 Big 12) currently sits at the top of the Big 12 standings, alongside West Virginia. The Longhorns earned victories against TCU and Iowa State last weekend, and have won seven out of their last eight games, but have yet to win a match on the road. Against TCU they scored early, with their first goal coming four minutes into the game. They kept the lead throughout the match to shutout TCU 2-0.
Kelsey Shimmick lead the team with four goals. Eleven players have scored at least one goal, and six have scored at least two. The
Texas has a balanced scoring act. Junior defender Brooke Gilbert and sophomore forward
Longhorns boast a 13-3-2 record against the Jayhawks.
ANS
Kastor
The Jayhawks have most recently faced Santa Clara, losing 2-3. They could not finish a comeback started by sophomore midfielder Lia
na Salazar's goal with 17 minutes left. Eight Jayhawks have scored at least one goal this season. Senior forward Caroline Kastor leads the team with four, and Salazar is next with three.
Before the season, Francis said the team had the goal of winning the Big 12 conference.
He said that after the inconsistent nonconference season, with blowouts, shutouts and games he said the team should have won, they are starting to play like he expected them to.
Kansas will play Iowa State at 7 p.m. Friday and will host Texas at 1 p.m. Sunday.

The Kansas Men's and Women's Cross Country teams are set to compete in the Rim Rock Challenge on Saturday. The race will be the teams' second, and final, home meet of the year.
Both teams were successful the last time out, at the Bob Timmons Challenge, on Aug. 31. The men took first in the 6k, and the women took first in the 5k. The men hope to repeat their first place finish at last year's Rim Rock Challenge,
where they defeated No. 11 Indiana, Air Force and Texas Tech among others. The women will look to improve on their 6th place team finish a year ago.
This Saturday will provide a bump up in competition, but the layhawks are ready for the challenge.
On the men's side, juniors James Wilson, Evan Landes and Reid Buchanan had strong races last year, finishing 6, 7, and 8 respectively, at or around 24 minutes for the 8k. Senior Josh Munsch is expected to compete in his first race of the year.
On the women's side, sophomore

Detroit Red Wings center Pavel Datsyuk (13), of Russia, celebrates his goal with teammates against the Buffalo Sabres during the first period of an NHL hockey game in Detroit on Wednesday.
Red Wings open with 2-1 victory against Sabres
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Pavel Datsyuk and Mikael Samuelsson scored 36 seconds apart midway through the first period and the Detroit Red Wings held on to beat the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 Wednesday night in the season-opener for both teams.
Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard turned the puck over, allowing Zemgus Girgensons to score in his NHL debut with 7:24 left in the game. Howard tried to clear the puck from behind his net, but it hit Buffalo's Brian Flynn and popped over the net to set up Girgensons' backhander that pulled
the Sabres within a goal.
Howard made 19 saves in Detroit's debut in the Eastern Conference, playing an Atlantic Division game against the young Sabres.
Buffalo had a two-man power play for 1:31 early in the first period and for 51 seconds late in the second, but couldn't take advantage. In between those 5-on-3 opportunities, the Sabres were held scoreless on three power plays.
Ryan Miller gave up goals on the fifth and sixth shots he faced and finished with 32 saves.
He didn't seem to have much of a chance on either goal.
The Red Wings didn't create a lot of chances the rest of the game, but they had a goal waved off because Daniel Cleary was called for interference against Miller.
Detroit is hoping to start strong this season and finish better than it has the previous four years when it failed to get past the second round of the playoffs. The Red Wings seem to have a deep roster including a pair of newcomers, Daniel Alfredsson and Stephen Weiss.

Kansas defense prepares for Texas Tech's offense
CHRIS HYBL chybl@kansan.com
Two Texas Tech quarterbacks were studied in the Kansas football team's second bye week of the year. The Kansas secondary had double the time for double the preparation ahead of its conference opener Saturday at home against No. 20 Texas Tech.
The Kansas defense is one facet of the team that has yet to have any glaring weaknesses or deficiencies, but a big adjustment is required to keep up that standard against nationally-ranked Texas Tech. No doubt, Kansas' nonconference schedule was actually a stretch of actual tests compared to a Texas Tech team that went through their
nonconference opponents in cruise control. It's final exam time for Kansas, except there's new material. Texas Tech runs one of the most fast-paced offensive tempos in the conference;
"Really right now we're just trying to prepare for the tempo," junior college transfer Cassius Sendish said. "I know they're going to try to run as many plays as they can. It's going to be 12 seconds or less coming up to the line and making a decision. It's as much about playing our cards as them playing their cards."
"it's going to be 12 seconds or less coming up to the line and making a decision."
Texas Tech's two regularly active freshman quarterbacks, Baker Mayfield and Davis Webb, have both played a significant role in Tech's 4-0 start. Mayfield, the quarterback throwing 70 percent
of the time for Texas Tech, will start Saturday against Kansas. This will be Mayfield's fifth consecutive start at quarterback. But Webb, responsible for 30 percent of Texas Tech passing attempts this season, has come in to relieve Mayfield in each of the last two games, including Tech's 20-10 win over TCU on September 12 where he threw the game clinching touchdown in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
It's highly likely that the Kansas secondary will see both quarterbacks. If two quarterbacks are not seen, that means Mayfield led Texas Tech to an easy victory. Kansas should want to see both quarterbacks, which is why they've studied for both.
CASSIUS SENDISH Junior safety
"We know they're both pretty good guys and they're going to throw the ball," said junior nickelback Victor Simmons. "But in my eyes, they're the same guy, just different number."
With both numbers in, Texas Tech averages almost 54 passes a game compared to the 36 averaged passing attempts against Kansas by its three opponents this season. The Kansas secondary also has yet to give up more than 300 yards passing in one game. Texas Tech averages 408.5 per game. No doubt, statistics will be significant after this game.
"I think we're prepared for it, we've been preparing for it in practice," Sendish said. "I think the product we put out there Saturday will be official."
The dual quarterback system does
have its advantages for Kansas. With the two quarterbacks getting significant game reps and pass attempts, it's definitely no secret that each quarterback has struggled on more than one occasion. There's nothing to Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury's substitution strategy. When one does bad, on comes the other.
Kingsbury used Mayfield being 4-0 as a starter as the primary reason for Mayfield to start again at Kansas.
"We're 4-0 with him as a starter, and that's really where we're at," Kingsbury said earlier this week. "I think he's healthy for the first time in three weeks, completely healthy, and looked sharp in practice."
Mayfield will be the first on, but the biggest question is who will be the last off. The Kansas defense will be the ones to decide that, and they are plenty excited to. On Wednesday, Simmons, Sendish, and junior JaCorey Shepherd's eyes all lit up at the thought of a quarterback throwing 60 passes in Saturday's game. Their tongues almost dropped out of their mouths. Not to mention that each quarterback has thrown four interceptions each through their four games played.
"We're just going to try and take advantage of the quick decisions that the quarterback has to make," Sendish said. "It's a chess match honestly we're trying to put our wits against their wits and see who gets the better outcome."
According to those three, it's all about making whoever is in the pocket as uncomfortable as possible.

STARTING LINEUP
OFFENSE
Usually, a potent offense and a freshman walk-on quarterback don't mix but that's exactly what Kliff Kingsbury has done. Texas Tech starts Baker Mayfield, but it's not like he is that much under the radar. He's one of the many quarterbacks that hail from Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas (Todd Reeing included). Mayfield hasn't had any trouble moving the ball coupled with a pair of athletic receivers in Eric Ward, Jace Amaro and Bradley Marquez, which have amounted for third in the country in passing yards with 408.5 yards per game. Like most Texas Tech teams in the past, they love to sling the ball around and will be a stiff test for the Jayhawks secondary.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Texas Tech kicker Ryan Bustin so far has connected on 9 of his 10 kicks and Tech's punter is current 31st in the country with a 44.7- yard average.
COACHING
Kingsbury, who Weis coached for one year with the New England Patriots, is well-connected with Weis. After serving as the offensive-coordinator for Texas A&M for one year, Klingsbury has brought back the high-powered offenses in Lubbock. Saturday, however, is his first Big 12 road test of his head-coaching career. Kingsbury, who is just 34 years-old, and has brought his fiery attitude to the team as a whole.
DEFENSE
The Red Raiders are no do-nothings either. Currently 10th in the country in points allowed, returning eight starters on defense has been a big part of that. Their big showing came against TCU yielding only 10 points and will be far the biggest test Kansas has encountered.

Texas Tech has gone from picked in the middle of the pack in the Big 12 to suddenly a Big 12 contender, currently ranked 20th in the country and is coming off a breezy 33-7 win over Texas State.
PLAYER TO WATCH
With the Kansas secondary showing off their ballhawk skills each week. Saturday provides another tough matchup and it likely will be assigned to nickelback Victor Simmons, and that's tight end Jace Amaro. One of the top tight ends in his class, Amaro looks like a tight end, but runs like a wide receiver. While Simmons looks to get the initial matchup against him, look for Dave Campo to mix it up and try to throw off the robust receiver off guard with different matchups.
ATA GLANCE
MOMENTUM
Texas Tech is 13-1 all-time in Kansas and with a new head coach this year they look to stack on another victory. The only loss came when Kingsbury was the quarterback in 2001.

QUESTION MARKS
Can the secondary continue its path in becoming a threatening defense? Albeit a new secondary, they have performed their tasks dutifully thus far and Saturday will either be an indictment or another validation that this group can be an adequate force.

Texas Tech puts up more than 40 points. The Texas Tech offense while highly formidable still has some kinks to work out with their quarterback. A walk-on freshman quarterback shouldn't be able to put up that many points on the road against what we know as a capable secondary, so far.

STARTING LINEUP
Kansas has the tools, but has yet to find the instruction manual. Despite a diverse running game, a legitimate quarterback and switches at the wide receiver position, the offense has paid for a weekly ticket on the struggle bus. Going against an up-tempo and high-scoring Texas Tech offense, Kansas will have to put up 20 points at the very least if they want to have a chance in this one.

The pressure is on. A relatively untested secondary will be tested against an offense that throws the ball almost 80 percent of the time. Texas Tech will score, but it is a huge task to keep that scoring in a range that Kansas' offense can keep up with. And with the way things have been going for Kansas, 18.33 points per game, that's a tall order for the defense.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Two legs make the special teams unit arguable Kansas' best unit. Punter Trevor Pardula has well exceeded expectations, dropping bombs on 4th down, including a 78-yarder against Louisiana Tech two weeks ago. Topped by a kicker Matthew Wyman's 52-yard game winning field goal in the same game, special teams is a unit that has proved itself week after week. On paper, Texas Tech has a considerable advantage in Saturday's game, so setting up the offense and defense with good position is a crucial objective.
COACHING
The offense shows it can score points. Plain and simple. The offense put Kansas fans through an extremely miserable first three quarters two weeks ago against Louisiana Tech and if that continues Saturday, seats will start to get a lot emptier.
keep an eye on the defensive gameplan. It will be interesting to see if defensive coordinator Dave Campo will be calling an aggressive first couple quarters against Tech.Players will have to get each call from Campo in less than 10 seconds when Tech is running the hurry-up offense. Campo has taken criticism for playing defensive backs to deep, but if Campo and crew can figure out Tech early, the Jayhawks will have a chance.

Texas Tech is a team turning heads and climbing up the national polls. Picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll, Texas Tech is proving a lot of people wrong, now ranked No. 20 in the nation at 4-0. It's easy to think that that kind of team would overlook the lesser-on-paper' opponents. Kansas definitely fits the bill there. Against a productive but prone-to-turnover offense, Kansas does have a shot at an upset. In that case, it would be because of the defense and not the offense.
Cassius Sendish. Sendish has been an incredibly active and effective piece in the Kansas secondary so far. Sendish being able to maintain that effectiveness against the third best passing offense in the nation will be a factor that ultimately decides the success of the defensive unit on Saturday.

QUESTION MARKS
Can the Kansas secondary keep the Jayhawks in striking distance?
If the Kansas secondary is the least bit unorganized in the opening quarters, Tech will finish the game before the halftime show. Kansas needs to keep it close in the opening quarters and simply outlast the Red Raiders. That's the only way Kansas could pull this out.

Kansas looks to live up to expectations with young team
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
The team is young, but the expectations are high for the Kansas women's basketball.
"The expectation would be to win," Bunny Williams, a junior forward from Duncaville, Texas, said. "Personally, I want to do better than what we did last year and in the past two years. Just win and work hard."
With five freshmen on the squad and only two returning starters, the team is looking for an identity while also looking to live up to the expectations that come along with back-to-back Sweet Sixteen appearances.

Coach Bonnie Henrickson, now
"We want to come in and continue to go off of what they've started here."
The team has not chosen captains yet, but Natalie Knight, a junior guard from Olathe, is expected to fill one of those leadership roles. Knight, who started the first 19 games of the season last year, is returning from an ACL tear in her right knee that sidelined her for the rest of the
DYLAN GONZALEX Freshman guard
"Natalie does everything the right way," Henrickson said. "From a lead-by-example standpoint, Natalie is spot on."
Knight was leading the country in to-turnover ratio at the time
or her injury last year. While she is still not back to the level of play she wants to be, Henrickson said Knight's mind is in a good place and will return to pre-injury form soon. Knight continues to rehab her knee, but says she will be ready for the first game.
Junior forward Chelsea Gardner is the other returning starter. Gardner averaged 8.8 points and 6.9 rebounds a game last year. She is expected to take on a bigger role in the post, and might become one of the top post players in the league.
Other players who can influence and be leaders are senior guard Cece Harper, junior guard Asia Boyd and Williams. Henrickson top players
said she expects the leadership to be by committee from the upper-classmen on the team.
Leadership will be important in mentoring the team's freshmen. The newcomers include twins Dakota and Dylan Gonzalez, guards from Pocatello, Idaho. The Gonzalez twins, who were both three-star recruits, come to Kansas with many high school accolades. Dylan was a 2013 McDonald's All-American nominee.

"We want to come in and continue to go off of what they've started here," Dylan said.
"They have a great foundation and a great team. Everybody wants to work hard and compete with each other."
Dvlan and Dakota's mom played
at Kansas and was an All-American honorable mention during her time on the team. The twins had plenty of Kansas gear at home and often attended games at Allen Fieldhouse growing up.
The Jayhaws also added freshman forward Jada Brown from Las Vegas to the team.
Henrickson said Brown has speed and quickness and has a knack for
pulling down offensive rebounds.
"We are not looking at the big picture right now and are just trying to win every day."
Brown said, "If we do that and put the pieces together, we'll be fine."
Freshman guard Keyla Morgan from Rancho Dominguez, Calif., can get to the rim, and has impressed with her ability to shoot pull-up jumpers. Henrickson said
freshman forward Caelynn Manning-Allen has been the most improved so far. She is strong and can shoot and run
The Jayhawks look to put the pieces together and continue its success.
"For us to have had the success these last two years, it's been nothing but a positive for us," Henrickson said. "We continue to present it as a positive from an expectations
standpoint.
That junior class has done nothing but go to two Sweet Sixteens. That's all they know. That's a really good thing."

Jayhawks to lean on returning starters to compete in league
BRIAN HILLIX
bhillix@kansan.com
After losing its three leading scorers from last season, Kansas will lean on its returners to compete against the top teams in the country and in the Big 12, which Coach Bonnie Henrickson refers to as the "best league in America."
Forward Carolyn Davis and guard Angel Goodrich, who both graduated last season, together averaged nearly 30 points a game and were forces on both offense and defense. Davis led the team averaging 15.8 points per game with Goodrich averaging 14.1 points per game. Guard
Monica Engelman ranked third
on the team with 9.9 points a game.
Goodrich is Kansas' all-time leader in assists and was a finalist for the
the program's history to notch 1800 points and 700 rebounds.

"I've worked on being more vocal, and I know I can't be afraid to speak up in certain situations."

ticular will be counted on to lead the team and fill the void
NATALIE KNIGHT Junior guard
Junior forward Chelsea Garden stepped into the national spotlight as a freshman in the 2012
NCAA Tournament after replacing Davis, who tore her ACL in February and was out for the season. She led the team in rebounds during the
NCAA Tournament that year averaging 11 per game.
With Davis back in action the next season, Gardner averaged 8.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in 2012. While she will be called upon to score and rebound more, Gardner didn't place all of the emphasis on improving statistics.
"Ive worked on being more of a leader and stepping up to the plate and communicating," Gardner said. Gardner led the team in rebounds last season.
Helping Garner down low will be $6^{4}$ freshman forward Caelynn Manning-Allen. While Manning-Allen doesn't have the strong post game Davis was known for, her jump shot will give the lajwhawks a better chance to spread the floor.
"She shoots a 15-foot jump shot as well as any 6'4" freshman I've ever had" Henrickson said.
Junior guard Natalie Knight, coming off ACL surgery in which she missed the second half of the sea.
son, returns as the focal point of the team.
Capable of knocking down the open three and playing lockdown defense, Knight will also take on more of a leadership role than in her first two years.
"I've worked on being more vocal, and I know I can't be afraid to speak up in certain situations," Knight said.
While she plays at a different style and pace than Goodrich, Knight is the best on the team at protecting the ball.
"She's not going to turn the ball over," Henrickson said. "She's going to take care of the ball and run a good half-court offense."
Before going down with an injury, Knight was among the best in the country in assist-to-
turnover ratio. Midway through February, Knight had totaled just 13 turnovers while averaging around 35 minutes a game.
Henrickson believes sophomore
guard Lamaria Cole is ready to step in and take on a bigger role, too.
"What she brings to the table is unmatched speed and quickness that Angel had," Henrickson said. Henrickson noted that sometimes her speed can work against her.
"It can be an asset," Henrickson said. "But it can be a detriment because she exceeds her speed limit at times and is forced to make a bad decision."
Kansas isn't the only team losing its scoring punch from last season.
Baylor and Iowa State, who finished first and second in the Big 12 last season, each lost two of their leading scorers. Most notably, the Associated Press Player of the Year Brittney Griner will be gone, making it easier for all opponents to score in the paint.

Pa. appeals court: No new trial for Jerry Sandusky
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARRISBURG, Pa. — Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky should not get a new trial after being convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys, a state appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The unanimous decision by a three-judge Superior Court panel came barely two weeks after they heard oral arguments by Sandusky's lawyer and a state prosecutor.
Defense lawyer Norris Gelman said he planned to ask the state Supreme Court to review the case. Sandusky had argued his trial lawyers did not have sufficient time to prepare, a prosecutor made improper references to him not testifying on his own behalf and the judge mishandled two jury instructions.
The opinion by Judge Jack Panella said that trial judges have discretion about whether to allow
pretrial delays and that in Sandusky's case the judge carefully considered the continuance requests.
"The decision does not reflect a myopic insistence upon expeditiousness in the face of Sandusky's request; it was not an arbitrary denial." Panella wrote.
Sandusky had wanted the trial judge, John Cleland, to give jurors an instruction about the amount of time it took for nearly all of the accusers to report their allegations. Panella wrote that Cleland should have evaluated the need for such a jury instruction based on each accuser's age and maturity but Cleland's failure to do so did not harm Sandusky.
"The trial court specifically instructed the jury that they were to consider any possible motives of the victims in coming forward," Panella wrote. "The vigorous cross-examination of the victims and arguments by defense counsel, when combined with the trial court's instructions on credibility clearly defined the issues for the jury."
The issue related to Sandusky not testifying was not properly preserved for appeals court review, Panella wrote.
The appeals court also turned down another jury instruction claim, related to weighing a defendant's good character against the allegations.
A spokesman for the attorney general's office said the decision affirmed prosecutors' position about the strength and weight of the evidence against Sandusky.

Sandusky, 69, is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence at a state prison in southwestern
Pennsylvania. If he does not get the convictions overturned, he is likely to die in prison.

Bolland scores 2, lifts Maple Leafs past Philadelphia 3-1
PHILADELPHIA — Dave Bolland scored twice and Phil Kessel added a goal to lead the Toronto Maple Leafs to 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night.
The Maple Leafs are off to a 2-0 start and spoiled Philadelphia's season opener one night after ruining Montreal's, Jonathan Bernier stopped 31 shots for the Maple Leafs.
Toronto acquired Bolland and Bernier in the offseason to bolster their bid to get out of the first round and make a run in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Kessel scored his goal a day after he signed a $64 million, eight year extension.
Brayden Schenn scored for the Flyers.
Bolland scored the go-ahead goal from the slot early in the third period. It was his first goal since the Game 6 clincher for the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup finals.
He sealed this win with a power-play goal with 22.5 seconds left. Kessel turned 26 on Wednesday with plenty of reasons to celebrate. He signed the whipping extension that will keep him off the free-agent market after the season.
A 20-goal scorer last season, Kessel knocked in a rebound late in the second for the tying goal. Kessel helped make up for Toronto's lone second-period power play. The Maple Leafs came away
empty because Flyers defenseman Nicklas Grossmann blocked three straight shots in 2 minutes to keep the game scoreless.
The Flyers wasted a fantastic chance to go ahead after Paul Ranger slashed Wayne Simmonds on a breakaway, setting up a penalty shot with 3.1 seconds left in the second period. Simmonds was easily stopped on his attempt to put the puck through Bernier's legs.
Back on the bench, Simmonds slammed the boards in frustration.
Like Kessel, Bernier also is part of Toronto's long-term future. He signed a $5.8 million, two-year contract soon after he was acquired from Los Angeles. He was 29-20-6, with a 2.36 GAA.

Jayhawks defeat Wildcats for eighth straight victory

For the second straight year, Kansas (12-3) defeated Kansas State in Manhattan, 31-29, 26-24, 25-19 to push its winning streak to eight matches and with a perfect 2-0 record in the Big 12.
In a hostile environment, the layhawks fought off the crowd and multiple runs by the Wildcats (12-3). This marks the first time since 1993 that Kansas has won three straight matches against Kansas State. In its first conference road match of the year, Coach Ray Bechard believes his team's preparations at the beginning of the season played a major role.
"We were an experienced team," Beard said. "This is why we went
to Wisconsin, Creighton, Arizona and Arkansas at the beginning of the season, for matches like tonight with hostile environment against good teams, and we had a good response."
After failing to convert multiple game points in the first set and saving a set point in each of the first two sets, junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers attributed it to the team's toughness and resiliency.
"It shows how competitive we are," Albers said. "It shows we can go on the road in a tough environment and really fight, and it shows how competitive we are and how hard we're willing to work to win." It wasn't easy.
Kansas State came out and took the early lead, but a four-point
run by the Jayhawks led by Albers and redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline marmoc gave Kansas take the lead. After multiple lead changes and a 10-all tie, Kansas scored three in a row to force a Wildcat timeout.
With a 16-12 Kansas lead, the Wildcats came back and took five of the next six points to force a tie at 17-all. Jarmo made a solo block and set herself up for a timely kill to break the tie. Up 19-17, the Wildcats strung together four points in a row to take a 19-21 lead, forcing a Jayhawk timeout.
Kansas State fought off six set points the rest of the way in a heated end to the set. The Wildcats had a set point of their own up 29-28, but the Jayhawks took back the lead
behind back-to-back kills from jui-
or outside hitter Sara McClinton.
A kill off a Wildcat block sailed out-
of-bounds as the Jayhawks took the
set 31-29—the most points played
in a set this year.
Kansas carried the momentum into the beginning of the second set. Two kills each by freshman middle blocker Tayler Soucie, Albers and McClinton pushed the Jayhawks as they led 11-8. After five points in a row by the Wildcats, the Jayhawks responded to win seven of the next nine points and force a Kansas State timeout. Senior setter Erin McNorton had a string of four serves that the Wildcats struggled to return during the stretch. Down four once again, the Wildcats came back to tie it at 19-
19.
The teams were neck-and-neck the rest of the way. The Wildcats had a set point at 24-23, but a severe error evened the score. The Kansas defense shut down the Wildcats the rest of the way as two more Kansas State errors helped Kansas take the set 26-24.
In her first conference road match, Soucie had an all-around performance with nine kills and a team-high seven blocks. Albers's team-high 12 kills paced the offense.
Similar to the first two sets, neither team budged as no squad led by more than three points at the beginning of the set. A string of four straight Kansas points, highlighted by a kill from Albers, gave Kansas a 14-11 lead. Coming off a Kansas State timeout, the Jayhawks continued to pull away as they built a six-point lead after kills by McClinton and Souci. The Wildcats never got closer than four the rest
of the way as an attack error gave the Jayhawks the set 25-19. Kansas State never led in the set.
Kansas defeated the Wildcats in four sets in both matches last season. These two face off again at Horejsi Family Athletics Center on Saturday, Nov. 16.
The Wildcats fell to 0-2 in conferen ce play.

Two points for MacKinnon, Roy wins first game as head coach
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Semyon Varlamov was sharp in making 35 saves, and Jamie McGinn scored two goals, leading Colorado to a 6-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night in Patrick Roy's coaching debut with the Avalanche.
Ryan O'Reilly, John Mitchell,
Matt Duchene and Steve Downie
added goals for the Avalanche,
who improved to 19-8-7 on
opening night. Top pick Nathan
MacKinnon set up both of McGinn's goals with no-look passes.
Alex Tanguay, back with Colorado
for the first time since the 2005-06
season, had three assists.
Varlamov stuffed the Ducks all evening but lost his bid for a shut out in the closing seconds when
Jakob Silfverberg slipped a shot by him.
Viktor Fasth struggled for Anaheim, allowing three goals in the second period.
Things got heated after the final horn, with some players getting into a skirmish near the benches. Even Roy got into the act as he jawed from behind the glass.
At barely 18 years old, MacKinnon is the youngest player in franchise history to make his NHL debut. He had quite an eventful game, getting into a skirmish and then dishing out two assists.
In large part, this night belonged to Roy, who drew a loud roar when he was introduced before the game.
His first career point came in the second period when he sent a pass through the legs of an Anaheim defender. His other was in the third when he found a wide-open McGinn skating toward the net.
He and fellow Hall of Famer Joe Sakic, who is in charge of the day-to-day hockey operations, are teaming up to restore the luster to an organization that has missed the playoffs the last three seasons.
Almost fitting that Varlamov should play so well under the watch of Roy, one of the league's best goalies.
known for his feistiness during his career. Roy vowed to bring that kind of passion back to the Avalanche.
He thinks this team can be a contender, even if few prognosticators are giving the Avs much of a chance of making the playoffs.
"We want to surprise the world of hockey," Roy said.
O'Reilly got the Avs off to a good start by scoring the first goal in the Roy era late in the opening period when he stole the puck from defenseman Francois Beauchemin and beat Fasth with a wrist shot. O'Reilly, who is making the move to left wing, also had an assist.
It was a memorable return to the ice for Downie as he scored his first goal since Feb. 25, 2012. He missed the majority of last season with a torn knee ligament.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Teemu Selanne didn't have many scoring chances for the Ducks as the 43-year-old forward began his final NHL season. Selanne has spent 15 seasons with Anaheim and is the franchise's career leader in goals, assists and games.

Student fans cheer as Bill Self enters Late Night at the Phog at Allen Fieldhouse on Friday, Oct. 4. The Fieldhouse was filled to the brim as officials were forced to turn away thousands of fans from the event
IMAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Fourteen-year-old Troop Holden stood at the northeast doors of Allen Fieldhouse. A hoard of Jayhawk fans crowded the entrance around him, disappointment on their faces.
It was 6:30 p.m., time for the event to begin, and these were the unlucky souls who were left out in the unseasonably warm Lawrence air. Troop's father, mother and younger brother were left standing outside the doors.
Troop was the only one who had made it in when the doors were opened and the crowd rushed forward.
But the Holden family had caught the attention of one of the workers at the door.
Now he was beginning to get emotional as he realized that the only way for him to watch the event was without his family members.
"I think whoever was working here at KU kind of felt sorry for us," Steven Holden, Troop's father, said.
Many of the fans outside had waited all day to enter those doors, but by now the hope had faded to defeat. Thousands of people waiting would not get in.
The Holden family had driven from Edmund, Okla., the home-town of Bill Self. It was the fourth time the family had made the trip to see Late Night in the Phog. The first was in 2008, following Mario's Miracle.
Steven's father, and Troop's grandfather, Duke Holden, played football at Kansas from 1958 to 1960.
Steven was born at an on-campus
Allen Fieldhouse
So, of course, the family would be in Lawrence for Late Night this year. But the time had come when Steven had realized he made the drive just to be turned away at the doors. At least Troop had made it, he thought.
University officials estimated that as many as 3,000 to 5,000 people in line had not made it in.
"We knew that it was going to be

mirmary, while his parents lived at Jayhawker Towers. The family has remained loyal to the Jayhawks ever since.
Now it seemed Steven had made the four and a half hour drive up I-35 with his family just to stand outside in the rain.
the family made it to Allen Fieldhouse at noon, looked at the line in front of them and thought they had a good chance to make it inside. Troop was determined to be in the seats to see Andrew Wiggins in his first appearance at
a packed house," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for public affairs. "And we knew there were going to be some people that would not get in. It's good news, bad news. It's great to know that Kansas basketball and Kansas athletics are so popular, and it's great to have a full house. The bad news is some people couldn't get in."
The crowd that had waited for most of the day to be in the Phog gave a roar as Bill Self took the court.
When Self arrived at Allen
Fieldhouse at 9:30 that morning he could already see the line of fans growing.
"How many places in America do 25,000 people wait to get into a building that holds 16,000," Self said to the fans.
The crowd responded with a wild cheer.
About an hour or so earlier, as the crowd at the doors began to head home, the Holden family had been directed toward an open door, one that few people would even know leads into Allen Fieldhouse.
Troop, wearing a backward Kansas basketball hat and a Late Night T-shirt from a few years ago, hurried eagerly to meet his family. His younger brother, wearing a Paul Pierce retro jersey, peered through the darkened glass of the window, jumping back excitedly as he saw Troop appear alongside a man wearring an all-access pass.
The three of them entered the student athlete center reuniting with Troop as Steven looked around in disbelief. Troop's mother snapped pictures with the camera that hung around her neck, as they walked down a hallway, past some offices, into a room and down another hallway while Steven pointed

Alissa Corbet, a senior from Wheaton, Ill. left the frustration of being left behind.
Corbet's group camped outside for eight hours and wasn't able to get in after being scrousted like sandwiches for 40 minutes.
Her group finally left at 6:35 p.m. and headed to The Wheel to watch Late Night on TV.
"Alen Fieldhouse failed its fans by not having an efficient way of letting people in," Corbett said. "If this is going to be an open event, it still needs to be an organized event. We all felt screwed."
Associate Athletics Director for Public Affairs Jim Marchiway said KU athletics will decide after event review and discussion whether we need to change how we handle Late Night.

touinlan@kansan.com
The Lawrence City Commission made the decision to delay a vote on millions of dollars of funding for public recreation at Rock Chalk Park. According to the city of Lawrence's website, the new recreation center at Rock Chalk Park is set to include eight full size basketball courts, 16 volleyball courts, an indoor sports area and a 1/8 mile indoor walking and jogging track. The center will also include a wellness area, meeting rooms and areas for gymnastics and cardio. The Lawrence Recreation Center will be located near the northeast corner of 6th Street and the K-10 intersection.
The city is expected to spend approximately $22.5 million on the project. Fritzel Construction is tasked with building the recreation center at Rock Chalk Park, after submitting a winning bid
to the city of Lawrence for $10.5 million. The commissioners are examining the issuing of industrial revenue bonds for the project. The proposed industrial revenue bonds would provide up to $40 million of funding for Rock Chalk Park. Gary Anderson, an attorney with Gilmore & Bell law firm which advises public institutions on financing issues, made the purpose of these particular bonds clear at
According to Commissioner Bob Schumm, the decision to delay the
the city commission's meeting on Oct. 1. The bonds would allow for a sales tax exemption with the purchase of construction materials and provide a property tax exemption on the project. The city would not carry any financial liability with the issuing of the bonds.

Chess players defy public game ban
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — At least for an afternoon, the chess players were back at the usual spot they've occupied for years along downtown San Francisco's busy Market Street.
But instead of hustling a dollar here and a dollar there with deft openings and clever traps, the mostly homeless players and their supporters were playing Sunday in defiance of a recent police crackdown and ban on the public games. And they were backed by a brass band and several homeless advocates who helped organize the three-hour "chess-in" under bright, blue skies on a hot San Francisco afternoon.
Earlier this month, police confiscated chess gear, tables and chairs at the site.
Police said the games had begun to attract illegal gambling and drug sales to the area adjacent to a cable car terminal, which is a popular tourist destination. Nearby merchants had also complained about an increase in illegal activity.
"We don't mind the chess players and would like to have them back," said Cody Hunt, manager of an electronics store in front of which the games were played. "But lately, the games have attracted loud dice games and open drug deals, and nobody needs that."
The chess players argue that
the police response to the illegal activity that took place near the games was heavy-handed and indiscriminate.
"Have the drug deals stopped because chess has been banned?" said Andrew Resignato, a San Francisco resident who would play a game along Market Street occasionally. "It was an excuse to move homeless people away from here."
San Francisco police didn't return a phone call Sunday.
Police Capt. Michael Redmond told the San Francisco Chronicle last month that he agreed the chess players themselves weren't the problem. But others used the games as a shield for illegal activities. Redmond said arrests and complaints from merchants increased in the area.
"It's turned into a big public nuisance," Redmond said. "I think maybe it's a disguise for some other things that are going on."
other things that are going on Hector Torres Jr., a homeless man who scratched out a living renting his chess equipment, tables and chairs to Market Streets players, said the games were a San Francisco tradition that attracted all sorts of players from all walks of life.
Torres and others said it's unclear whether regular games will resume in their usual spots, some place else or disappear forever.
"Chess isn't a crime, and we aren't criminals," Torres said.
vote was rooted in public interest. The details of the industrial revenue bonds for Rock Chalk Park have been posted online, however the city commission wanted the public to have more time to be able to review the details of the industrial revenue bonds. The commission wanted the documents to be available to the public for at least a week before voting on approval of the bonds.
The city hopes that the new recreation center at Rock Chalk Park will help Lawrence host more sporting events and draw more revenue from visitors. The delay on approval of the bonds by the city commission is not expected to affect construction of Rock Chalk Park, which has begun and is slated to be completed by 2014. The city commission expects to take up the vote again on vOct.8.

"I was glad they let us come in, because of how long we had been standing here and how upsetting it would have been to drive all this way and get turned away," Steven Holden said.
Steven hopes that some changes can be made in how fans are let in. Next year, he doesn't plan on making the drive and waiting in line if he knows it will end up just being a rush for the doors in the end. He knows his family was lucky this time.

Engineers to serve in Oklahoma for fall break
KATIE MCBRIDE kmcbride@kansan.com
As the long weekend of fall break begins, a group of 30 engineering students will head south to Moore, Okla. to help a community trying to recover from a major natural disaster.
Sophomore Audrey Danser, community service outreach chair for Engineers Without Borders, describes this particular service project as "dear to my heart," as Moore is just 20 miles from her hometown of Edmond, Okla. Hearing the news coverage of the EF5 tornado, which left a 17-mile path of destruction through Oklahoma City suburbs, motivated Danser to work with other members of EWB to coordinate a
trip there.
The group will volunteer on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday of fall break. On Saturday, they will work with an organization called Serve Moore, which brings together churches and other organizations in order to serve the community. On Sunday, they will visit a local lake to clean the area and pick up trash, and on Monday, they will volunteer at the Oklahoma City Zoo.
The trip was planned by three underclassmen, sophomore Morgan Downey, freshman Mackenzie Johnson and sophomore Alex Bycroft.
Downey, from St. Joseph, Mo., said that getting involved with EWB is a good opportunity for engineering students.
"It builds a sense of community between all people in engineering." Downey said.
Johnson, from Baldwin City, said that EWB provides an opportunity.
try for students to get outside of their own community. She said it is beneficial for students to get away from solely staying on campus, and to work toward a well-rounded college experience by getting involved outside of the classr
in the community is one of many goals of the group and this trip. The president of EWB, junior Ryan Endres from DeSoto, said it's amazing to see what the three
outside of the classroom.
"It opens your eyes and changes your perspective every time you go," Johnson said.

coordinators planned.
"Together they have created an awesome project," Endres said. "It will allow students to have an experience
they will remember for the rest of their lives"
Danser said the projects that EWB coordinates are a way to impact communities and people
in many places.
"We're really open to helping people, and we like to help out in any way we can." Danser said. "It's really heart-warming to see how much of a difference we can make."
EWB exists in many countries, with the overall goal of implementing engineering solutions in developing communities based on their needs.
After the students spend their days volunteering, Danser says they plan to add to their experience by exploring Oklahoma City, possibly visiting a haunted house, and "bonding and having a good time."

CRIME
Biker arraigned on charges in SUV gang assault
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A motorcyclist accused of smashing a window and catalyzing a bloody encounter between a group of bikers and an SUV driver was arraigned Sunday on gang assault and other major charges, while his lawyer said the motorcyclist's role in the headline-grabbing case was unfairly overplayed.
The fourth person arrested so far in a case held up as a highway nightmare, Reginald Chance, was being held on $75,000 cash bail. Prosecutors said he played a key role in the SUV driver's beating, which came after the driver ran over a biker in what the motorist's family said was fear for his life.
POLICE REPORTS
While Chance didn't participate in the beating, by shattering the SUV's driver's-side window, he "set into motion a chain of events that resulted in the driver being dragged out of his vehicle and beaten" by others, Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Samantha Turino said.
Chance's lawyer, Gregory Watts, acknowledged his client broke the window in a burst of anger after the SUV's door knocked him earlier in the encounter that went from a Manhattan highway to a neighborhood street. Video shows Chance then got on his motorcycle and left, and he didn't hit SUV driver Alexian Lian or encourage anyone else to do so, Watts said.
HESPECT FSD 611110
"This is not a man riding around assaulting people with a quote-unquote 'gang'," Watts said. "We will hotly contest those allegations."
In a Sept. 29 encounter seen partly on online video, a group of motorcyclists participating in a rally crossed paths with Lien, who was out for a drive to celebrate his wedding anniversary with his wife and their toddler. One biker, Christopher Cruz, cut off the SUV that bumped his motorcycle's rear tire, police and prosecutors said.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Range Rover involved in the bikers attack is being moved from the police precinct for further police investigation Saturday, Oct. 5 in New York. Last weekend, dozens of bikers stopped the Range Rover SUV on a highway, attacking the vehicle.
Cruz and other bikers stopped and approached Lien, 33; who drove off, running over biker Edwin "Jay" Mieses Jr. and breaking both his legs and spine.
Information based on the Douglas County Sheriff's Office booking recap.
- A 23-year-old male was arrested yesterday on the 800 block of Mississippi Street on suspicion of operating under the influence. A $500 bond was paid.
- A 19-year-old male was arrested yesterday on the 900 block of Maine Street on trespassing. A $100 bond was paid.
- A 31-year-old male was arrested yesterday at 2350 Ridge CT on vehicle burglary and property theft. A $4,000 was posted.

Environmental neglect evident in government shutdown
Representative Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, recently tweeted, "There is some good news out of the shutdown, the EPA can't issue new regulations." Blackburn's cynical comments towards the Environmental Protection Agency aren't just reflective of Republican attitudes - many Democrats and Independents are just as skeptical of the EPA and environmental issues.
There is an overarching political scheme that neglects environmental issues and policy for the sake of economic growth and lower taxes. In order to understand the government's feelings towards conservation and sustainability, all one has to do is check out the agencies that were shut down after Congress failed to pass a new spending bill. Unsurprisingly, the EPA and 401 National Parks were the first to close their doors
(The EPA remains partially open to respond to environmental emergencies).
But why the lackadaisical attitude towards the environment? Shouldn't our nation's leaders be prioritizing issues such as large-scale biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, oh, and that big one - climate change? The reality is, our nation is good at two things: responding to immediate threats and promoting economic growth, neither of which encourages protection of the environment.
With big-ticket issues on the table like conflict in Syria, Iranian relations, Obamacare and the government shutdown, many policymakers give little attention to matters of the environment, which are not yet tangible realities. For most individuals, it's hard to digest our perpetual destructive actions towards the environment, particularly for lawmakers who
By Gabby Murnan gmurnan@kansan.com
spend their lives promoting policies that speed up the demise of natural resources and ecosystems
Most issues of the environment unfold on a long-term scale; therefore our short-term minded law system neglects them almost entirely. As a country, we are great at damage control. But it's the preemptive measures where we need a little work. If issues such as rising sea levels and toxic-waste dumping are not addressed at a policy level soon, then we will be dealing with a national security threat, but not one that can be solved with Tomahawk cruise missiles and fancy rhetoric.
The biggest obstacle to environmental policy in the United States is the concept of unlimited economic growth. We are a capitalist society that feeds on profit. As a result, focus on production and consumption leads to extreme pressures on the natural world. Ironically, this paradigm of economic growth is directly challenged by the very environment it abuses: without natural resources,production will end, as will the success of the economy. There is no such thing as sustainable economic growth. Eventually, oil fields will run dry, and our society will have to suffer the consequences of our illogical economic mindset.
Big business is the major player in American Politics. Political access has shifted to the source of the money, and policy action reflects the needs of profit-driven corporations.
It's time for a change. In order for environmental issues to be properly addressed in American
politics and policy, environmentalists must step down from their biodegradable soapboxes and talk in terms that appeal to their audience. Policymakers must understand that the continued success of the economy and the preservation of the natural world go hand-in-hand. You cannot have one without the other. Instead of rattling off data on atmospheric carbon content, environmentalists must explain - in dollars - how much climate change is going to cost the economy and how the dwindling oil supply is going to challenge the framework of capitalist production. The economy and natural world can only coexist if Mother Nature and big business can sit down and make a deal.

Kansas legislation deprives thousands from food stamps
Kansans know our state represents an agricultural paradise. It consistently produces more wheat than any other state in the country, and its gently rolling fields dotted with herds of cattle span nearly the entire stretch from Kansas City to the Rocky Mountains. It's little wonder that in 1930, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce declared "if there's anything better than life - it's life in Kansas." In short, this should be a place of prosperity, for all.

be a place of prosperity.
Last Tuesday, Kansas became a little less bountiful. New state legislation requires that if an adult is healthy, under the age of 49, and has no dependents, he or she must work 20 hours a week or receive job training to qualify for food stamps. The state estimates that about 20,000 people will be affected. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that 4 million people would be affected if these changes were applied nationwide.
The change comes as federal food stamp benefits are already at risk - the farm bill, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives in September, cuts $40 billion from the program. There are other benefit cuts already scheduled to go into effect on Nov. 1. This is a problem even in bountiful states - 11 percent of Kansans currently receive food stamps, including over 140,000 children.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Topeka Councilman Chad Mspeaker explained that the new requirements will simply give the burden of feeding the unemployed to soup
kitchens, nonprofits and local governments, which have fewer resources to cope with larger demand. Ellen Fieldhausen, Director of Communications at Harvesters Community Food Network, described a dire situation following the onset of the recession. Around half of those served by Harvesters in 26 counties received food stamps, she explained, but still required extra help to stave off food insecurity. About 40 percent of those served already had at least one job, but still could not make ends meet.
In 1886, one immigrant to Kansas named Percy G. Ebbut remarked that "The fact remains: if you are willing to work, you need never despair of getting a livelihood in Kansas." "Today, Kansas has a 5.9 percent unemployment rate. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that with the addition of part-time workers seeking full-time jobs and those who have left the labor force out of discouragement, the figure is closer to 10.9 percent.
Kansas' addition of work requirements affects a small number of Kansans - about 0.07 percent. The number is so small, and so symbolic, that some opponents of the current political majority are suspicious of the
motivations behind the policy change. Councilman Manspeaker suggested that this represents a political ploy by Governor Brownback to galvanize his supporters before his 2014 gubernatorial election against Paul Davis. Supporters of the proposal reply that those who abuse the system grow dependent on the government for their livelihood, discouraging them from seeking work in the future.
MENTAL HEALTH
Let us be clear: it is not possible to comfortably live on the money that food stamps provide. A single adult can receive a maximum of $200 per month from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - $6.67 per day. I don't know any adult who can live on $200 per month, nor can I imagine doing so. I doubt that many individuals voluntarily pass up the income from a part-time job to scrape by on $7 a day.
As pointed out by executive director of the Kansas Center for Economic Growth Annie McKay, making individuals ineligible for food stamps does not make a job suddenly appear for them. New work requirements do not change the structural reasons that desperate Kansans need food stamps. Unfortunately, Kansas lawmakers seem more interested in scoring cheap political points and punishing those struggling the most than in realizing Kansas' promise as a place of bounty and prosperity for all its citizens.

Mental illness given blame for violence
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
What was the highlight of your homecoming weekend?
Follow us on Tweet
A man suffering with schizophrenia, as well as any other neurological or psychological disorder, is no more likely to commit an act of violence than someone who is suffering from cancer, heart disease, arthritis or bad breath. However, we have been quick to use mental illness as the explanation for violence.
You walk on a bus and there are three empty seats left. One seat is next to a paranoid schizophrenic. One is next to a man who is going through alcohol withdrawal. The other is next to a fanatical football fan after his team lost the championship. In regards to your personal safety, who do you choose to sit by? The answer is that you do not have enough information to make that decision.
The sad truth is we judge and stigmatize individuals based on their labels, rather than looking at the whole picture. In the scenario above, many would most likely avoid sitting by the individual with a mental illness because of this notion that the "mentally ill are violent." Maybe it's the football fan that has an abusive past.

msaha@kansan.com
Unfortunately, there have been a slew of mass shootings in the past decade. The most notable include the shootings at Virginia Tech, a movie theater in Aurora, a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, Sandy Hook and the D.C Navy yard. Each of these perpetrators was deemed to be mentally ill. And just like that, the investigation stopped. There is no other explanation. Maybe he was a political extremist? Maybe he was racist? Maybe he hated organized institutions like universities and government? The correlation between psychiatric disorder and violence is so entrenched into our minds that we refuse to hear other justifications. And we live in a society where we feel the need to justify every action.
It is not fair to use the mentally ill as a scapegoat. What about the many mentally ill individuals who do not commit acts of violence? As a matter of fact, they are the ones getting teased, picked on and hurt for having a mental illness. Scapegoating the mentally ill creates a negative stigma towards all mentally ill individuals. And how do we decide which mental illnesses translate to violence? The ones where individuals see hallucinations or believe delusional thoughts in the form of negative voices? Is it only schizophrenia and bipolar disorder? But these symptoms can happen to psychotropic drug users and insomniacs. Even I have negative voices and thoughts in my head. Don't we all? The difference is that I have a stronger, more even-tempered voice that knows when to take a step back and look at things in a more rational way.
The point is, we cannot keep using mental illness as a scapegoat for violence. Sometimes, there are just bad people in this world that do bad things. Whether they are suffering from schizophrenia or acne, it should not matter. It is important to assess the situation and past history, not just labels.

'Gravity' outshines other sci-fi suspense movies

AMERICAN
FUELS
The galaxy is full of bad space movies. This is expected because bad space movies are so much easier to make than good space movies. There's a delicate balance in space films, and if a movie isn't balanced perfectly, then it becomes laughable. In "Gravity," director Alfonso Cuaron strikes the perfect balance then ups the ante.
A standard NASA mission gone bad forms the heart of "Gravity." When the Russians destroy one of their own satellites, the resulting shrapnel collides with the Space Shuttle Discovery. Rookie Dr. Ryan Snow, played by Sandra Bullock, and experienced space walker Matt Kowalski, played by George Clooney, are the only two survivors. Tethered together and drifting with no hope of communicating with Mission Control, Snow and Kowalski have to figure out how to make it to safety before they run out of oxygen and the shrapnel orbits back.
"Gravity" plays upon everyone's

fear - blatant or subliminal – of the unknown. As Bullock and Clooney are thrown into space on their own with nothing but their spacesuits to protect them, we feel the same fear they do and understand it. Their plight brings our fears out and shows them to us in stunning detail. "Gravity" seamlessly invokes the terror of a horror movie with the intensity of a thriller.
Playing a big part in this fusion of genes are the visuals and camerawork. In one moment, with one close up, Cuaron can make space feel claustrophobic. In the next, with Bullock as only a white spot against black, he can completely change space into something so immense it's equally as terrifying. Every second of the movie is gorgeous. The colors of Earth from above are vivid and the views of outer space are even more so.
Supporting the spot-on script and the beautiful visuals, are the performances by the movie's two stars. Without them, "Gravity" would be just another space movie with an intriguing plot and shoddy acting. But Bullock and Clooney play their characters perfectly and emotionally.
They seem to completely understand their characters' fears and motivations. The Oscar-buzz surrounding them is well-deserved. As a whole, "Gravity" is a crazy, intense film that defies the space movie norm. It features a fantastically gripping plot and superb visuals. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney only add to the film's successes, accurately portraying their respective characters with the same intensity as the rest of the film. "Gravity" is definitely one of the best movies of 2013.

Models showcase sequined, jewel-toned dresses at Kansas City Fashion Week on Friday, Oct. 4 at Union Station. New looks for the fall season were the focus of the show
Kansas City Fashion Week designers debut fall trends
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
hsundermeyer@kansan.com
Fall has finally hit Lawrence, signaling the return of oversized sweaters, riding boots and scarves. Along with it comes new autumn looks straight off the runway of Kansas City Fashion Week. Get ready — it looks like this season is all about standing out.
Statement Jewelry
This season, accessories are a hit. Dominant throughout nearly all of the showcased designers at KCFW, bold statement pieces such as thick bangles and chunky, detailed necklaces provide the perfect accent to more simplistic outfits. Erin Stegman's collection pulled from Erin Paige Designs exhibited the perfect way to balance out the contrast between soft colors and daring accessories.
Paired with flowing, white gowns,
Stegman created a dozen variations of vibrantly-colored, floral necklaces. Adding a few fabulous statement accessories opens doors of possibilities for your fall wardrobe. When shopping, look for unique pieces in eye-catching colors, textures and designs.
The bolder the better. To make this look more wearable, pair casual, lightweight neutrals with the jewelry — avoid patterned, beaded or lace tops. Stick with darker jeans or leggings to complete the look.
galaxy Prints
While intimidating at first, when styled correctly, anyone can pull off the new galaxy prints that have quickly taken the fashion scene.
For those brave enough to try out the newest indie look, this outer space inspired trend can easily be dressed up or down. Similar to statement jewelry, when paired with understated colors — especially darks — the print can hold its own.
Galaxy print can be found in dresses, tops, leggings and even shoes. Take advantage of this trend because it won't last to infinity and beyond.
Earth-Toned Neutrals
Commonly associated with the fall season, earth-toned neutrals are undoubtedly the most popular aspect of the autumn months. Search the stores for flowy blouses, skirts, pants and dresses in browns, tans, warm grays and greens.
Lace-up combat boots in browns and blacks can toughen up this soft look, along with intricate copper-toned necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
Especially for those on a college budget, stores such as Forever 21, Urban Outfitters and H&M are a great place to hunt for additions to your fall wardrobe.

Andrea Marie - Kansas City Fashion Week Designer
For this collection, what was your main inspiration?
For this collection, what was your main inspiration?
"For this collection, my tag line has always been Antique Romance. I tried to incorporate a feminine feel throughout the pieces, starting with colors and textures. I have always been really inspired by the silhouettes created by different fabrics."
What is your favorite piece?
"Definitely the cage skirt. I really think it incorporates a little bit of everything from my collection, and really ties it all together. It is hard to choose though, because I love everything about this season's collection 100 times more than I did my previous collection."
Do you have any advice for aspiring designers?
"I actually graduated from the University of Kansas, and majored in theater design. The best advice I can give is to do your craft all the time. Volunteer, ask to be somebody's intern. You then have the opportunity to work, and learn what to do."
Morgan Trout - Model
What has been your favorite part of being involved with Kansas City Fashion Week?
"I have been involved with the event for about a year and a half, and I absolutely love it. It's such a blast, and I love meeting all kinds of new people. I always end up coming home with a ton of new friends."

Patrick to star in country music video
IASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY. Kan. — Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. decided to test out their acting chops, and do a little flirting in public, for a new country music video that was released this week.
NASCAR's power couple has starring roles for Colt Ford's new single, "Drivin' Around Song."
In the video, Patrick and Ford are waiting for Stenhouse, playing an auto repair man, to fix their broken-down vehicle. Patrick flirts
with Stenhouse and then steals a set of keys to an all-terrain vehicle parked outside, and then takes Ford on a spin through Mooresville, N.C. Patrick said she was not acting when she flirted with Stenhouse, whom she's been dating for a while. "When I look at him I smile," she said, "so that was not hard."
Patrick is certainly accustomed to mainstream spotlight. She's graced numerous magazine covers and been involved in countless photo shoots, not to mention prominently displayed in the sometimes racy Super Bowl commercials for her sponsor, GoDaddy.
the attention is a little more new to Stenhouse, a Sprint Cup rookie, which makes it a bit odd that he's the one who has to deliver some lines in the video. Patrick never speaks.
"When we got the call to do that I told her we had to. It was the first time I had ever done anything like that and you could tell it was a little nerve-racking." Stenhouse said. "It seemed like everybody liked the
video so far, so it was cool."
Patrick said the filming was completed just a few weeks ago.
"I's cool to see it out. It was a lot of fun to do. It was a beautiful day in Mooresville that day," Patrick said. "Those are the fun things that you get to do outside of the car." Ford, whose real name is Jason Brown, released his first album in 2008. He also co-wrote and originally recorded the song "Dirt Road Anthem" that Brantley Gilbert turned into a hit.

Marc Jacobs displays last Louis Vuitton line
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — What was likely designer Marc Jacobs' last ready-to-wear collection for Louis Vuitton looked like a show in mourning Wednesday — black, black and more black, a dark fountain and a nightmarish
carousel with inky horses were the backdrop for a universe of clothes all in black. Maid cleaned away dust from the steps of the disturbing set, which traced Jacobs' influential 16-year reign at Vuitton.
Shortly after the show at the Louvre Museum in Paris, the visual
metaphor was explained: French luxury conglomerate LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton announced that Jacobs was stepping down as creative director of its flagship brand.
Jacobs, who is also the director of an eponymous brand, is one of the biggest names in the fashion industry. Under his tenure, Louis Vuitton became the most lucrative fashion house in the world, in part thanks to his creation of a ready-to-wear line.
LVMH, which owns the Louis Vuitton brand and an array of other luxury names purveying everything from jewelry to champagne, would not say who would replace Jacobs or what his next move would be. From her front-row seat, U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour gave Jacobs an ovation at Wednesday's show.
"Fashion needs rock stars, and they don't come any starrier than Marc at Louis Vuitton," she told The Associated Press in an email. "He has always understood that it a house about travel, and every season he has taken us on incredible journeys with his spectacular shows — shows that made Vuitton a global phenomenon but always brought you back to the heart of Paris"
you back to the heart of Paris. Such visible acclaim from the powerful editor — to whom he partly dedicated the show — is extremely rare.
On the Vuitton catwalk, models filed by in jet-black warrior-feathered headdresses as they displayed Jacobs' 41 designs. The pieces used embroidered black tulle stockings, Eisenhower jackets embellished with large feathered shoulders, dark embroideries, smoking jackets and some 1940s baggy blue jeans.
LITERATURE
Malala's new book describes recovery from Taliban attack
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Seven days after the Pakistani Taliban shot her in the head, Malala Yousafzai wake up confused in a place that wasn't home. Her first thought? "Thank God I'm not dead."
Malala, whose campaign for girls' right to education made her a Taliban target, describes the shooting and its aftermath in a book that comes out Tuesday, a day before the anniversary of the assassination attempt.
CHILDREN'S PLACE PRIZE
In an excerpt in The Sunday Times, the now 16-year-old describes riding in a school van with her girlfriends when it was stopped by two men, including the gunman who shot Malala in the left eye socket at close range.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Malala Yousafzai celebrates her birthday addressing young leaders who support the United Nation's Secretary General's Global Education First Initiative.
"I woke up on October 16, a week after the shooting," she writes. "The first thing I thought was, 'Thank God I'm not dead.' But I had no idea where I was. I knew I was not in my homeland. The nurses and doctors were speaking English though they all seemed to be from different countries."
She gradually found out that she had been taken from Pakistan to Birmingham, England, for specialist treatment.
Malala, who has been mentioned as a possible contender for the Nobel Peace Prize to be announced
Friday, also describes her amazement at finding out that some 8,000 people had sent messages of support to the hospital.
"Rehanna, the Muslim chap-lain, said millions of people and children around the world had supported me and prayed for me," Malala writes. "Then I realized
that people had spared my life.
I had been spared for a reason.
I realized that what the Taliban
had done was make my campaign
global."
The book is titled "I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban."

COMMENTARY Patience hard to come by for fans
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
B ill Self tried his best to stay cool. There he was at center court in Allen
Fieldhouse, the nation's second-best recruiting class waiting patiently in the tunnel behind him and a hoard of fans hanging on his every word.
In these situations, Bill Self is usually the master of cool.
A juxtaposition of sorts given Late Night in the Phog is all about hype. It's a way to show off the power of "Jayhawk Nation" to future recruits and exploit the history behind it. And when the fans reach a crescendo Self walks out on to the court to ease expectations.
On Friday, he did so by telling the crowd to be patient. He reiterated that this is a young team and they will need time to adjust. But the excitement got to Self too.
Just before he handed over emcee duties to Kansas fan and comedian Rob Riggle, Self looked up at the north rafters, the ones that display tributes to the jayhawks five National Championships. And with his team in earshot, Self let out his true feelings.
"It's time to hang one more banner," Self announced. Rightfully so, Allen Fieldhouse erupted.
Then again, what else is there to sav at this point?
In the last three years the Jayhawks have made it to the Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight and National Championship respectively. Self has said that this year's class may have the most talent he ever collected at once. The expectations haven't changed so why should acknowledging them be considered taboo?
During the annual barrage of pump-up videos shown before the men's team scrimmaged on Friday, one was particularly telling of how Kansas plans on handling the hype.
With the arena lights out, the scoreboard played highlights of the last nine Big 12 championships, all of which were won by the Jayhawks and each accompanied by a ring fit for, well, a champion. The montage ended with four simple words: No Pressure. No Diamonds.
Kansas can't run from its identity this year. There's no lack of star power to hide behind. No depth issues to use as an excuse.
which is what made Self's declaration at center court such a relief. That's not to say there won't be growing pains, or that the Jayhawks won't drop a few winnable-games.
But consider that only two years ago Self stood in the same spot on James Naismith Court and asked fans to "enjoy the ride," now here he was slamming his foot on the gas pedal. The result wasn't the roaring of an engine, but the cheers of 16,300 fans in Allen Fieldhouse. The sixth banner they had envisioned seemed as real as ever.
They too looked toward the north rafters. Patience be damned.

Junior running back Brandon Bourbon is tackled by two Texas Tech defenders during Saturday's homecoming game. The Jayhawks' Big 12 losing streak continued with a 54-16 loss to the Red Raiders.

The feeling of a potential upset hung in the air at Memorial Stadium, as Kansas players and fans waved the wheat after a pass from Jake Heaps spiraled through the air and found an open Jimmay Mundine for a 25-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
The Jayhawks held a 10-0 lead over the no. 20 ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders at the end of the first quarter. But it all unravelled soon after that, as Tech scored 20 points in the second quarter.
"We set up the game in anticipation that we didn't want to get in a horse race," Charlie Weis said in the post-game press conference. "Because I don't think we're set up
to be in a horse race."
In the second half the game became ugly for the Jayhawks. By the time the final whistle sounded, it was a 54-16 loss.
"It turned really fast," defensive lineman Keon Stowers said. "They had a lot of big plays, both on offense and on defense."
The momentum shifted towards Tech in the second quarter and carried them to 54 unanswered points, before Kansas backup quarterback Michael Cummings found Andrew Turzilli in the end zone for the final score of the game.
But even on that touchdown by Turzill, the extra point by Matthew Wyman floated wide left. But that was the least significant of the plays that hurt Kansas.
A failed fake punt that seemed to confuse every person in the stadium gave the Red Raiders the ball at the Kansas 16-yard-line. Tech was in the end zone two plays later with a touchdown lead. "It was a situation where we
It was decided if something happened, take it. And he got caught in limbo." Weis said.
Weis said there was a certain punt defense that Texas Tech ran that Pardula was told to run on if he saw that defense. It just so happened that he thought he saw that particular defense while punting inside of the layhawks 20-yard-line.
"I in hindsight he [probably] wouldn't do it, but he saw a certain look [and thought] he was capable," Weis said.
"He wasn't in empty," Weis said, referring to the package the Jayhaws ran with an empty back field, "so, when we're throwing it, the two backs we're putting in are Tony [Piterson] and Brandon [Bourbon], and that's the right
It was one of many negative plays for the Jayhawks in the game, which including four fumbles, one interception, 12 penalties and several failed exchanges between the center and quarterback.
James Sims, the most productive player on the Kansas offense with 281 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the first three games of the season, rushed for just 28 yards on nine carries. Six of those carries came after the Jayhawks already trailed by 20 or more.
Texas Tech ran exactly 100 offensive plays, leaving the Jayhawks defense exhausted.
thing to do."
Defensive lineman Keon Stowers said it was the most plays he had ever been on the field for in a game.
Players were visibly frustrated after the 38-point loss.
By the end of the game the student section of the stadium was almost completely empty, and Weis said he doesn't blame the students for leaving the game.
"It gets pretty tiring being out there that long," linebacker Ben Heeney said.
"If I were at the game, I probably had left too." Weis said.

Players mourn recruit's death
I CHRIS HYRI
FOOTBALL
chvbl@kansan.com
Andre Maloney, a 17-year-old Kansas football recruit from Shawnee Mission West high school died Friday morning after suffering a stroke during a high school football game against Leavenworth West.
After being taken by ambulance to Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Maloney entered surgery in attempt to remove a blood clot in his brain, but the surgery was unsuccessful.
Maloney had just hauled in a 63-yard touchdown pass for Shawnee Mission West and was headed to the sideline when he collapsed. Maloney, a three star recruit according to rivals.com, committed to play for Kansas over the summer.
"As a dad and a loving parent, it's just a nightmare and a true tragedy" Kansas coach Charlie Weis said in a press conference following Kansas' 54-16 loss to Texas Tech on Saturday. "I know everyone feels that way, but I have a different feeling towards my kids, meaning my team."
"When a player is either on my team or committed to my team, I believe that my responsibility is to be like a dad to them. I don't try to be their dad, but I try to be like a dad. When it happens to anyone, anything pains me. But not like this."
Weis was in constant communication with those close to the situation after Maloney was taken to the hospital Thursday night.
Weis said he wanted to go to the hospital to support Maloney, but decided not to thinking that he would be more of a distraction rather than a help to the developing situation.
"When I went to bed late Thursday night, I didn't know the magnitude of what we were dealing with," Weis said. "But early Friday morning, at five oclock, it was already not good."
Jayhawks players were seen draped in Gatorade towels with the hashtag #playdrew written in black marker. Weis also mentioned that he noticed a player had written 'R.I.P' on his uniform.
Maloney had narrowed his selection of schools down to six including Iowa State, Missouri, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and Tulsa before ultimately committing to Kansas.
"Id have a tough time faulting him for that," Weis said.
According to the Kansas City Star, visitation for Maloney will be held from 7-10 p.m. Tuesday at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 8311 W. 93rd St. in Overland Park. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 4 p.m. Wednesday at Holy Cross.

THE MORNING BREW NBA players to watch during the 2013-14 season
We are just a little over three weeks away from the start of the 2013-14 NBA Season. Coming off a pretty predictable 2012-13 season in which the Miami Heat steam rolled teams to their second straight NBA title, we are coming into a season filled with questions and not many guarantees. That is what is fun about the NBA; we never know what will happen. The only three things we can be sure of this season is that we will hear a lot of "where will LeBron go next year" questions, we will hear a lot less about Dwight Howard, and we will see the Raptors attempt a full court press on getting Andrew Wiggins with the first pick in next year's draft. So I decided to have some fun and do some preseason who to watch and who to not.
By Ben Allen
ballen@kansan.com
Rookie to Watch: Victor Oladipo
Not just saying this since he went to my rival high school Dematha, but Oladipo is a stud. Even disregarding the physical attributes, the Orlando Magic suck, giving him a great shot to make an immediate impact for the team. Oladipo's driving ability matched with his passing skills should make it easy for him to set up big man Nikola Vucevic.
Rookie to Ignore: Anthony Bennett
Rookie to ignore: Anthony Bennett Maybe the most surprising first overall pick of the last decade, Bennett comes into a bad spot with the Cavaliers signing Andrew Bynum, and having to fight four other players, including Anderson Varejao, for a starting job. He cannot defend, he is overweight, and he is fighting other players for a spot. Not a great fit.
Comeback Player: Derrick Rose
COLUMBACK PLAYER: Derrick Rose You can finally stop all of the "so-and-so will come back before Rose" memes. The former star guard has looked explosive in workouts, and frankly, he is too naturally talented not to perform for a team like Chicago, which has other talented players to support him.
Unsung Hero: Tyreke Evans
Unsung Hero: Tyreke Evans
The New Orleans Pelicans are going to be a good team this year without a doubt.
No one seems to realize the raw talent that Evans possesses - not to mention the fact that he plays three positions. He will be the catalyst for getting Anthony Davis and new point guard Jrue Holiday going.
Let Down Player: Dwayne Wade
The man's knees are basically done. You can't say he isn't talented, he has three championship rings. But he has never been a pure shooter; always just a jumper. The Heat are still going to rake the competition, but this is quickly becoming the Cavalier-esque LeBron show.
Guard of the Year: Rajon Rondo No player will have to work harder this year than Rondo if his team will succeed. His passing and decision-making will be the difference between wins and losses. The new look Celtics have quality players, and they need Rondo to be their leader.
forward of the Year: Carmelo Anthony Ball hog or not, there is no player in the NBA with a more innate ability to score more than Melo.
KU
The Knicks love to feed their star the ball and with the new stretch tool of Andrea Bargnani, Melo is posed for a 30 ppg season.
Big of the Year: Kevin Love
of the Year: Kevin Love An injury riddled 2012 season kept Love from moving into the upper echelon of NBA players.
A full season with Ricky Rubio feeding him the ball, plus the addition of sharp shooter Kevin Martin, this should be a good one for Love.
MVP: LeBron James
Unless Kevin Durant makes his move to become top dog this year, this is still LeBron's league.
King James is just frankly bigger, faster and more explosive than anyone else around. James will look to add his 5th MVP trophy to his mantle.

Dodgers rout Braves 13-6 to take one-game lead in NLDS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The big-name bats for the Los Angeles Dodgers did more than enough to overcome some tentative rookie pitching.
Carl Crawford hit a three-run homer, Juan Uribe added a two-run shot and Los Angeles routed the Atlanta Braves 13-6 on Sunday night for a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five NL division series.
Hanley Ramirez and Yasiel Puig each had three hits and scored three times on a big night at the plate for the Dodgers, who matched a franchise record for
runs in a postseason game.

game when he tumbled head over heels at the low retaining wall in left field and onto his head to catch a foul ball in the eighth. The speedy leoadoff man also scored three times, including once in the eighth when the Dodgers made it 13-4.
Chris Capuano won in relief of ineffective rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu in a game that took 4 hours, 1 minute. The 13 runs allowed by the Braves equaled the most in club history for a postseason game. Los Angeles rallied in the third to regain the lead for good after Atlanta tied it in the top of the
inning. After that, the Braves didn't manage much besides Jason Heyward's two-run homer in the ninth.
In addition to being shaky on the mound, Ryu made two major mistakes in the field before giving way to Capuano, who spent most of the season in the rotation before moving to the bullpen.
By then, it was way too late. Atlanta starter Julio Teheran and Ryu both made inauspicious postseason debuts in the first matchup of rookie pitchers in the playoffs since 2007. Neither stayed around long.
With the Dodgers owning a six-run lead in their first home playoff game since 2009, fans waved their blue souvenir towels with one hand and made chopping motions with the other in mocking Atlanta's trademark tomahawk chop.
Teheran took the loss, giving up six runs and eight hits in 2 2-3 innings. The 22-year-old right-hander struck out five, walked one and threw a wild pitch.
one and threw a wild pitch.
Ryu allowed four runs and six hits in three innings, becoming the first South Korean-born pitcher to start a postseason game in the major leagues.
Despite his rookie status, the left-hander brought a wealth of experience from his native country in becoming the first player to go from the Korean Baseball Organization to the majors. Besides his seven seasons in the KBO, he had pitched in the 2009 World Baseball Classic as a reliever.
Atlanta got to him with two runs in the first during another of Ryu's slow starts. Capuano came on to strike out three and walk three in three hitless innings.
Braves reliever Alex Wood gave up four runs and three hits in 21-3 innings.

In the first two games of conference play, the Kansas soccer team (5-6 2) couldn't earn a win. The Jayhawks were 0-1-1 over the weekend and were held scoreless over the 200 minutes of play.
The Jayhawks tied the Iowa State Cyclones (6-6-2, 0-2-1) 0-0 on Friday. On Sunday, Kansas matched up with the Texas Longhorns (9-4-1, 3-1) and lost the game 0-1 on a late Texas goal.
With five minutes left in the match, Texas midfielder Aaron Strawser put in an unassisted goal from the right corner, her first of the season. Strawser had a long run and tried to cross the ball to a teammate. The ball ended up finding the back of the net after rolling out of the reach of junior Kansas goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud.
"Other than the first 10 minutes where we couldn't get a hold of the
ball. I thought the midfield played really well and we controlled the tempo," head coach Mark Francis said. "We created some really good chances and just weren't able to finish with a goal."
Haley Yearout sent the ball to senior forward Caroline Kastor in front the goal. Texas goalkeeper Abby Smith misplayed the ball and left the goal wide open for Kastor

The Jayhawks earned a corner kick off the previous play. Yearout sent the ball toward the box. Sophomore midfielder Hanna Kallmaier
jumped and sent a header toward the net, which clinked off the left post.
"I think we outplayed this team, and I think we deserved to win."
"We are all pretty disappointed," junior midfielder/forward Jamie Fletcher said, "I think we outplayed this team, and I think we deserved to win. The soccer gods aren't always on our side."
The Jayhawks also defended the ball well. Stroud had seven saves, including one that saved what seemed like a sure goal for the Longhorns. Late in the first half, Stroud was milled away

from the goal, when Texas midfielder Gabby Zarnegar received the ball right in front of the net. Stroud managed to get back into position and laid out to stop the attempt.
Kansas was outshot by Texas 15-12. Fletcher lead the Jayhawks
with three shots, one of which was on goal.
The Jayhawks were also outshot in the match against Iowa State 15-9 on Friday. Neither team could score after regulation and two ten-minute overtime periods. Kansas struggled to find opportunities, and its first shot didn't come until Kastor headed a shot in the 23rd
This opening weekend put Kansas in the bottom half of the Big 12 standings. West Virginia is the only undefeated team in conference play. Oklahoma is on the bottom with two losses.
"I think we respond well to adversity," Fletcher said. "We will come on Tuesday ready to work. We only have one game this week, and so we can focus on that and hopefully get a result."
The Jayhawks will look for their first conference win, and goal, on Friday against TCU at home.

Continental Europe wins Seve Trophy
SAINT-NOM-LA-BRETECHE, France — Continental Europe ended a 13-year drought in the Seve Trophy by defeating Britain and Ireland 15-13 on Sunday. Francesco Molinari beat Chris Wood 3 and 2 in the last singles match to give Continental Europe the winning point, and its first victory since the inaugural contest in 2000. It had lost the last six meetings.
"They were determined to win," Continental Europe captain Jose Maria Olazabal said. "Sometimes the determination helps and I think it did this time."
The teams were tied 9-9 at the end of play Saturday and were still level 12-12 after the first six singles matches on Sunday. Simon Khan of England couldn't play because of a back injury, meaning his match against Thomas Bjorn was halved, while Gonzalo Fernan-
dez-Castano rallied from two down after eight holes to split the point with Jamie Donaldson. Nicolas Colsaerts birdied Nos. 15 and 17 to protect his slim lead and edge Paul Casey by a hole. Joost Luiten lost 3 and 2 to Tommy Fleetwood, who went three up on the front nine.
Gregory Bourd of France became the first player to win five points in a single Seve Trophy, making six bishards to rout Scott lamieson 4 and 3.
After Marc Warren thrashed Thorbjorn Olesen 4 and 3, Matteo Manassero defeated Stephen Gallacher 3 and 2 to give Continental Europa a 13-12 lead before Miguel Angel Jimenez pushed Britain and Ireland to the brink by dominating David Lynn 6 and 4.
Paul Lawrie beat Mikko Ilonen 2 and 1 to keep alive his team's hopes of a tie that would have forced a greensomes sudden death playoff.
We've got the right place for you.

Pirates win, take 2-1 series lead over Cardinals

Pittsburgh Pirates pinch runner Josh Harrison (5) scores from second behind St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina on a single by Pedro Alvarez in the eighth inning of Game 3 of a National League division baseball series on Sunday, Oct. 6, in Pittsburgh. The Pirates won 5-3, taking a two games to one lead in the best-of-five series.
PITTSBURGH — Pinch-runner Josh Harrison stood on second base in the bottom of the eighth inning and pointed to Pittsburgh Pirates third base coach Nick Leyva.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I told him to get that arm ready, because I'm coming," Harrison said. Moments later, Harrison was streaking across home plate to give the Pirates the lead. Minutes after that, the Jolly Roger that's been a fixture on the Pittsburgh skyline all summer climbed up the flagpole again.
Harrison scored on Pedro Alvarez's tiebreaking single Sunday, sending the Pirates to a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals that staked Pittsburgh to a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five NL division series. Russell Martin followed with a sharp RBI single against reliever Kevin Siegrist, who took over after Carlos Martinez (0-1) faltered.
The go-ahead single was the latest big hit by Alvarez. He homered in the first two games against St. Louis and is 4 for 10 with four RBIs in the series.
Alvarez also kept the Pirates' famous flag flying high in October. "Raise the Jolly Roger!" is the rallying cry for this wild-card team, now one victory from its first postseason series win since Willie Stargell, Dave Parker and the "We Are Family" gang won it all in 1979.
"We're continuing to surprise a lot of people, I believe. We're continuing to show people that we're not done, that we're not just happy to be in the postseason," star center fielder Andrew McCutchen said. "We're fighting to win a World Series."
Heady territory for a franchise that had endured a record 20 consecutive years of losing coming into this season. Six months later, the Pirates are on the cusp of knocking out baseball royalty.
Mark Melancon (1-0) picked up the win despite allowing Carlos
Beltran's tying home run in the top of the eighth. Jason Grilli worked the ninth for a save.
Beltran finished 2 for 3 with three RBIs. His 16th playoff home run moved him past Babe Ruth for eighth place in postseason history.
Charlie Morton is set to start for Pittsburgh in Game 4 on Monday after rookie Michael Wacha.
"It's a must-win tomorrow for us," Beltran said. "Hopefully we can come here tomorrow, take care of business, win and go play the last game at home."
Beltran's shot temporarily silenced a rocking crowd at PNC Park. It also set the stage for another dramatic win by the Pirates.
McCutchen led off the eighth with his second hit, a double to left. But the NL MVP candidate unWISEly tried to advance on Justin Morneau's grounder to shortstop and was an easy out at third.
Harrison ran for Morneau and moved up when Marlon Byrd walked. St. Louis manager Mike Matheny turned to a lefty in Siegrist to face the left-handed Alvarez. The Pittsburgh slugger tied for the NL lead with 36 homers during the regular season, but hit just .180 against lefties.
"I just knew it was going to be a tough matchup," Alvarez said. "I've seen him a couple of times before. I haven't had much success. He's a pitcher with good stuff — great stuff. He threw me a couple of fastballs out over the plate."
One too many, as it turned out,

and second. Martin then fouled off

or less.
After blowouts by each club in St. Louis, there wasn't much room to breathe in front of a frenzied, black-clad crowd looking for a repeat of Pittsburgh's giddy 6-2 romp over Cincinnati in the wild-card game last Tuesday.
Martin's sacrifice fly off reliever
Seth Maness in the sixth gave the Pirates a 3-2 lead and turned the game over to Pittsburgh's "Shark Tank" bullpen, one of the keys to the franchise's first winning season and playoff berth in a generation. Tony Watson worked around a one-out single in the seventh before giving way to Melancon.
The Cardinals must win two straight to advance to the NL championship series for the third straight year.
"We've been in this situation," Beltran said. "Last year, I think we were in this situation a lot. So I think we're fine, man. We want to come here tomorrow, we want to
win and hopefully take this series home."
Pirates starter Francisco Liriano dominated the Cardinals during the regular season, going 3-0 with an 0.75 ERA in three starts against the NL's highest-scoring team.

San Francisco uses stifling defense to blow out Houston
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco 49ers turned a prime-time showdown into an all-out pick party at The Stick.
Irramaine Brock perfectly read Matt Schaub's first pass of the night, jumped in front for an interception and ran 18 yards for a touchdown just 90 seconds into the game, setting the tone for a stellar defensive performance in a 34-3 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday night.
Things only got better for Brock and San Francisco, and worse for Houston's beleaguered quarterback. Schaub threw three interceptions in all before being replaced in the fourth.
Colin Kaepermick tossed a 64-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis and Frank Gore ran for 81 yards
and a score in his second straight impressive prime-time game. The 49ers (3-2) are right back in the NFC West race with Seattle after the Seahawks (4-1) lost at Indianapolis. Each team has beaten the Texans (2-3) and lost to the Colts, and Seattle still must visit San Francisco on Dec. 8.
Anthony Dixon added a 2-yard touchdown run for the NFC champions, while Brock had a second interception and nearly a third.
Kaepernick went 6 for 15 with 113 yards as the 49ers won their second straight in emphatic fashion following the first two-game losing streak under third-year coach Jim Harbaugh.
Kaepernick completed four of his first six passes, then threw seven straight incompletions before connecting with Bruce Miller early in the fourth quarter and then
Davis' TD.
After being outscored 56-10 in the back-to-back losses against Seattle and Indianapolis, the 49ers have overwhelmed their opponents 69-14 over the last two games.

On the next drive, Randy Bullock hooked a 45-yard field goal try wide left — and the 49ers capitalized afterward again with Gore's touchdown late in the first quarter.

Missing three key defenders for the second straight game, San Francisco's opportunistic D didn't flinch and kept the penalties in check after early season problems with flags.
All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis sat out a second straight game with a groin injury that also kept him out at St. Louis on Sept. 26, and the Niners also missed linebacker Aldon Smith again as he undergoes treatment for substance abuse. Cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha is still nursing a knee injury.

Fans in Texas were already furious and burning his jersey — and there's a sign on one freeway calling for Schaub's ouster. This certainly won't help matters as supporters call for backup T.J. Yates.
In a stadium set to be imploded after the season, Schaub himself imploded. He could be seen muttering to himself with a shell-shocked expression walking off the field as coach Gary Kuiak buried his face in his hands.

KANSAS
Football players unite with hopes for NCAA reform
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Kansas defensive lineman Keon Stowers was one of several players that wrote the words "APU" on a piece of his equipment for the game against Texas Tech on Saturday.
The letters stand for "All Players United," a campaign launched two weeks ago by college athletes. Players representing teams from the Big 10, ACC, SEC and Big 12 have written the three letters on their equipment as a sign of their unity for NCAA reform.

They include minimizing college athletes' brain trauma risks, raising the scholarship amount, preventing players from being stuck paying sports-related medical expenses and eliminating restrictions on players' ability to directly benefit from commercial opportunities.
The National College Players Association has a list of 11 goals on its website, ncpanow.org.
The NCPA organization was founded by former UCLA football player Ramogi Huma in 2001 and has helped athletes plan the APU movement through conference calls with representatives from each team.
"The NCAA president and conference commissioners are talking about reshaping college sports, and really the players don't have a voice in this," Huma said.
“It's for the players, it's something started by the players,” Stowers said. “I'm definitely 100 percent behind it.”
One of the issues represented by the APU campaign is a reform of conclusion policies by the NCAA. On Saturday, the NCAA running

back Tony Pierson was injured after a 39 yard completion.
Pierson landed out of bounds and remained still on the ground for several minutes as he was attended to by medical trainers.
"When I went over there he was breathing a little bit, but his eyes weren't open yet," Kansas head coach Charlie Weis said after the game.
Weis said that Pierson had a possible concussion and could miss a "substantial" amount of time.
"The NCAA has not addressed concussion reform at all," Huma
"It's for the players,it's something started by the players.I'm definitely 100 percent behind it."
KEON STOWERS Kansas defensive lineman
said. "If you look at the NFL and the NFL Players Association, they've negotiated a lot of good policy and rule changes. They've redirected resources, investing a hundred million dollars in research. The NCAA can be doing the same things."
Stowers saw the play as a perfect example of what players are risking each time they step on the field.
"There are guys getting hurt every Saturday." Stowers said.
Stowers said the APU campaign represents something personal for him as well, and that was part of his reason for writing the letters on his wrist tape.
He said everything that APU
stands for can benefit college athletes in everyday life, not in being paid like professionals, but in helping with their regular living expenses as a college student.
“It's guys that are in a situation like I was, that come here and don't have the parental financial part to be able to provide for yourself," Stowers said. "We're not asking for people to change our lives. We're not asking to be able to go out and buy a car, no, no, no. When you aren't able to provide for yourself at the end of the month, then it is a problem."
Jake Heaps also said that he supports the APU cause, though he did not write the letters on any of his gear, at least for this game.
He was one of several players that Stowers said has been involved in talks amongst players about the issue.
There is a sense of unity and purpose behind players that wear the APU letters, and support the NCPA.
"I do think there needs to be change within the NCAA in the way they handle players." Heaps said.
Weis said he did not see the writing on any of the players' equipment, and that he didn't know what the campaign was.
"I don't even know guys at other schools that are wearing APU, but if they've got it on, I stand for them and they are my brothers." Stowers said. "It's about all players coming together to fight against the NCAA"

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
Kansas started Saturday's game looking like they were ready. Kansas struck early, cashing in a Ben Heeney interception for a field goal. The next drive, Kansas quarterback Jake Heaps capped off a 79-yard march down the field with an easy 25-yard TD pass to Jimmy Mundine. Kansas looked good.
The defense didn't allow Texas Tech across midfield until midway through the first quarter, and made three early defensive third down stops, giving up one first down in the first 10 minutes of the game. Kansas had a lot of energy and it continued to build as the crowd got louder throughout the first quarter.
'Things changed in the second quarter. Texas Tech strung together its first two drives of the second quarter for 10 points. After a failed fake punt attempt from Kansas' own 16, Tech scored for its first lead, never relinquishing it, and easily coasting to victory.
The fake pun*
With the score tied 10-10 in the second quarter, and after a failed third and 10 pass to James Sims for a loss of three, the unthinkable
happened. Faced with a fourth and 13, punter Trevor Pardula easily received the snap, and proceeded to run in an attempt to get a first down.
Pardula could only manage to get back to the line of scrimmage. Tech took over at the 16 and scored a touchdown two plays later.
It was unclear as to whether Pardula had sporadically elected to audible and make a dash for a heroic first down. But the reaction of the lead blockers to veer towards the sideline with Pardula behind was evident.
"It was a situation where we decided if something happened, take it. And he got caught in limbo," said head coach Charlie Weis.
Weis took no blame for the play that seemed to send Kansas in a sharp downward spiral. Tech added three more points to the score before the half ended. Down 20-10, Kansas was still within striking distance to open the second半. But on the first play, Heaps attempted a 5-yard pass over the middle to Tony Pierson. The ball was thrown high and Pierson could only tip the ball in an attempt to catch it, and it landed right in the hands of Texas Tech defender J.J. Gaines, who returned the ball all way to the
Kansas 8. yard line. Tech scored on the first play follow the turnover, making the game 27-10 only 18 seconds into the second half. It was over from there.
Kansas offense
After converting two of five third downs in the first quarter, Kansas only managed one more third down conversion in the entire game, finishing 3 for 16 on third down. The Kansas offense was stagnant in the second half. Of Kansas' three drives in the third quarter, all of them were three-and-outs. This led to the defense getting worn down by the fast and explosive Texas Tech offense.
After the early third quarter interception, things only got worse for the Jayhawks. Kansas was unable to convert on any of its third down plays in the third quarter, burying any chance of a comeback and allowing Texas Tech to extend its lead to 37-10. Tech scored 54 unanswered points before a Michael Cummings touchdown pass to Andrew Turzilli with 7:43 left in the fourth quarter.

Junior quarterback Jake Heaps makes a pass against Texas Tech. The Jayhawks lost to the Red Raiders 54-16 for Saturday's home game, at Memorial Stadium, as a strong start by the Jayhawks wasn't enough to carry the team through the game.
BACK TO REALITY
Jayhawks' early momentum thwarted by poor offense, special teams mistakes
CHRIS HYBL
chybl@kansan.com
OFFENSE: D+
Save for about two penalties, the offense was near flawless in the opening quarter. Jake Heaps went 9-for-14 with 121 yards, with a 25-yard strike to Jimmay Mundine. Tony Pierson also flourished in the first quarter as Heaps connected with the senior flanker four times for 63 yards. After that, however, the offense stalled as Heaps went 8-for-17 for just 78 yards the rest of the game. Coupled with the inept passing game was a stagnant running game, which saw only nine handoffs to James Sims. Turnovers were also a huge problem, constantly settingup the defense in bad field position, as they lost three fumbles and Heaps threw an interception to open up the second half. The offense had a chance to maintain its lead and to tack on to its fresh start, but failed to muster anything after a crisp first quarter.
COACHING: C-
DEFENSE: D+
While the play-calling was superb in the first quarter. Weis mixed it up well. Weis then backed off his running game in trying to keep up with Texas Tech, which he previously said he was against, and said it wouldn't work for their offensive system. Saturday reinforced that, as Kansas tried to keep up in the passing game and it was to no avail and then some. James Sims had only nine carries, as the running game was nonexistent, which is the team's offensive identity.
Similar to the offense, the defense started out remarkably after kickoff, halting TTU's air raid by surrendering just 85 yards in the first quarter. As the defense saw more time on the field though, TTU quarterback Baker Mayfield started to complete more passes. Even backup quarterback Davis Webb got in on the action as he tossed two scores. While the secondary had a tough task going up against the physical Tech wide receivers, Tech had no trouble spreading the ball, as there were many holes in the secondary contributing to a lot of easy drives. The pass rush was also lacking, and couldn't flush Mayfield out of the pocket enough to disrupt the high-powered offense.
SPECIAL TEAMS: C-
Aside from a fake punt and a missed extra point, the special teams weren't mediocre. The problem is that the fake punt changed things, as Tech went up 17-10 and had a more serious grasp on the game and never looked back.
DELAY OF THE GAME
GAME BALL
Lost in the impotent offense, late in the fourth quarter, Tony Pierson had one of the most crazy after the catch plays you'll ever see from a Kansas offensive player. Pierson who received a pass in the backfield on the left side, cut back to the middle defender to elude the defenders in front, then cut back to the left and dashed down the sidelines for a 39-yard gain in which he ran for more than 50 yards. He went down for several minutes after the play, but it definitely was one of the few highlights for the Kansas offense so far this season.
Tony Pierson is going to be greatly missed as it was announced he would miss substantial time with a concussion. Pierson had a spectacular day before he got hurt however, as he hauled in 6 catches for 118 yards and was one of the few sparks for the Kansas offense all game including 63 receiving yards in the first quarter, helping the Jayhawks hop out to a 10-0 lead.
GOOD, PLAIN OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
Charlie Weis said that the field position didn't factor in Trevor Pardula performing the fake punt, but when you're in a tie ballgame down in your own territory, it doesn't seem like the smartest idea. It makes sense to try to catch them off guard, but when you have a reliable punter and who may be your best offensive weapon, you should use him accordingly. Verdict: Just Plain Stupid
LOOKING AHEAD
Kansas will take on TCU, who's coming off a tight loss to Oklahoma on the road, 17-20. They will face another tough defense as the offense looks to get things going.
GLASS HALF FULL
Kansas had a near-perfect first quarter as the offense looked fresh, organized and had the best quarter offensively so far this season. So there was a flash, at least, of the offense becoming something that can put up points to keep the defense off the field. Heaps had maybe the best quarter of his career, and the protection of Heaps contributed to a 10-point first quarter.
FINAL THOUGHT
GLASS HALF EMPTY
The Jayhawks' mistakes early on really came to hurt them in the end, including the now infamous Trevor Pardula fake punt failure and some turnovers late in the game where they tried to orchestrate a comeback. Two big plays that seemed to deflate the energy of the game—the fake punt and a Heaps interception to open up the second half-derailed any chance of a victory.
Charlie Weis caught some flack for devising the fake punt, but that wasn't the only problem. The offense and defense have a long ways to go, as they surrendered another lead—Charlie Weis' seventh so far as the Kansas head coach. Their chances went from great to nearly impossible as Texas Tech dominated effortlessly after the first quarter.

Learning how to tie a tie, change a tire and catch a baseball weren't the only things Gomez Montoya missed out on by not having a father present. He also missed out on having the awkward, but necessary, conversations fathers have with their sons.
These father-son conversations about how to treat women, to set goals, to lead by example, to be humble and even how to carry yourself as a man are difficult for mothers to emulate. Many of these lessons Gomez Montoya learned on his own.

The goal of the symposium was to create a space for men to gather and openly discuss problems they were facing as well as help men develop a view on what healthy masculinity looks like.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
EMMA LEGAULT
Special Sections Editor
Most of us have chosen our new cribs for the semester or year, but there are still things to keep in mind as we adjust
to new settings or settle in to familiar territory.
As the saying goes, prevention is the best medicine. I'm not a doctor, but I still believe that living by that phrase has saved me more times than I know or want to admit.
In this issue, we've laid out some solutions to a few situations that are more common than you think — the ones that happen to someone else, not you, like house fires, robberies and running out of gas. The reality is that we're all vulnerable to one or more
of these unfortunate positions, and it's imperative that we're prepared with a plan of attack.
On a lighter note, we've included some DIY projects and recipes for the creative crafter or chef. To save trips to the store (or for the more forgetful student), we have 10 essential products and an A-to-Z list of things to remember when moving in.
No matter your housing situation, we hope you learn a thing or two about staying safe in your home and personalizing your space.

1200 OHIO ST
This house, an off-campus rental property on Ohio Street, contains three separate units.
Each one can house three people, although they are technically designed with two bedrooms.
Prices: Rent is $816 per month and can be split between two or three occupants. This breaks down to $272 per person between three residents — a very good deal considering the location.
Utility costs vary depending on the time of year, but range from $80 to $110 total per person each month.
Square footage: Around 2,500 square feet in total living area.
Amenities: In-house washer and dryer, steel spiral staircase, large front porch area and proximity to campus and downtown.
Pets: No pets allowed, although this varies between rental property owners.
HAWK'S POINTE III----951 ARKANSAS ST.
Prices: Monthly rent for a 4BR/2BA is around $385 per person. Cable and Internet is provided, but other utility bills cost about $50-$60 per person.
Hawk's Pointe III is one of three Hawk's Pointe apartment complexes in Lawrence. This one, located just east of The Oread hotel, is very popular with students because it's right along Jayhawk Boulevard.
Square footage: A 4BR/2BA unit is 1,120 square feet, and 1BR/1BA units come in either 505 or 550 square feet. Studio and 3BR/2BA units are also available.

Pets: Pets are generally allowed for an extra fee each month.
THE CONNECTION--3100 OUSDAHL ROAD
The Connection is an eight-to-15-minute drive south of campus, depending on traffic. Despite the distance, many students enjoy The Connection's numerous amenities, such as a large outdoor pool area and sand volleyball courts.
Prices: Monthly rent for a four-bedroom unit breaks down to about $440 per person. Residents only pay their monthly electric bill, which costs about $60, and The Connection covers other bills as well as Internet and cable TV.
Square footage: A 4BR/4BA unit is 1,573 square feet, and a 2BRA/28A is 931 square feet.

Childhood friend brings comfort sense of home to college life
By Cassidy Ritter critter@kansan.com
My lips began to quiver as I watched the car pull away from Legends Place. My eyelids were moving a mile a minute trying to hold it all in. The morning dew rolling down the car matched the tears rolling down my face.
Saying goodbye to my family is still the hardest part.
When I came to KU from Colorado, I feared being lost without my family around. Luckily, I knew from the very first day I had a second family in Topeka for support--my roommate, Ashlee, and her family.
My mom, a Colorado native, decided to attend KU partly because of one Kansas connection she had: Tad Boyle, a basketball player, and his family. Like my mom, I came because of a connection. I knew Mona Spring, my mom's college roommate and her daughter.
Mona and my mom met during their junior year. They lived in the same apartment complex and were both majoring in occupational therapy. The two had many classes together and became instant friends. Little did they know their friendship would lead to a connection in

the next generation between their daughters.
Ashlee and I have known each other since the lovely years of diapers, and trust me, we have plenty of embarrassing little kid pictures hanging in our apartment. Thirty years ago, our moms were roommates at KU, and now it is up to Ashlee and I to carry on the tradition and family connection.
Because Ashlee's hometown is only 30 minutes down the road, her family tends to visit from time to time. When I say family, I don't mean just her mom, dad and brother; I mean her aunts, uncles and cousins as well. The entire Spring family has welcomed mom and I with open arms.
Mona and my mom have always been life-long friends,but our family's connection to them has strengthened over the past two years.
On move-in day, I stood outside a little longer that morning, hoping the car would turn around. After my hope ran out, I returned inside. With uneven breaths and a wet face, I slowly fell sleep. A few hours later I made my way upstairs to find Mona with coffee in hand. She saw the trail of salty tears on my face and sensed the pain in my heart.
This isn't just a story of four Jayhawks. My story is about the connections made along the way both in the past and present, the ones that make adjusting to a new place easier. It's the connection that allows me and my mom to worry less, that makes sharing a home easier, the one that will continue to last a lifetime. It's about the connection of family--one that will continue for generations.

KEEP IT TOGETHER
Organizational ideas improve spaces
CASSIDY RITTER
critter@kansan.com
Chaos. Confusion. Clutter. As students are getting settled into their new apartments, many are struggling to stay organized. Below are the top five ways to organize a closet, desk, bathroom and kitchen.
CLOSET
2. Buy skinny hangers. The velvet hangers available at T.J. Maxx work best and tend to be the cheapest. These hangers help maximize closet space.
1. At the start of the year, turn your hangers backwards. At the end of the year, donate or sell the clothes that are still hanging backwards you didn't wear.
5. Use shower curtain hooks. These are often overlooked but are perfect for organizing purses, scarves and belts.
3. Hang things together by color. It comes in handy when searching for something to wear.
DESK
4. Use a three-bin storage system. These bin are ideal for T-shirts that do not need to be hung up, like workout and sleep shirts. Look for these bins at Walmart or Target.
2. Purchase a desk lamp with a base that holds pens. These come in a variety of colors and are available at Target for $13.49.
1. Hang up a calendar above your desk to increase desk space.
3. To keep class work organized use magazine holders. Have one for each class to store notebooks, textbooks, assignments and folders.
4 A drawer mini organizer can be used to store the small stuff like paper clips, pencil lead and sticky notes.
5. Keep extra supplies in a crate under your bed. If something is not being used, there is no need to keep it out.
BATHROOM
1. Use shelf liners to keep things from sliding around when drawers are opened and closed (available in manystyles at Dollar Tree).
2. Use PVC pipes. A three-inch PVC Degree Hub will do. This is a short PVC pipe that has half of a pipe coming out of the side at an angle. This is great for holding hair dryers, straighteners and curlers, and they are easy to spray paint. Check out internet.com for more PVC tricks.
3. Use magnetic strips. Place these on the inside of drawers to hold bobby pins, tweezers and makeup.
4. Place a shelf over the bathroom door. Put extra bathroom products on this shelf including towels and washcloths.
5. Use a cake stand or tiered plant stand to keep things off counter tops.
KITCHEN
1. Have a container for coupons and extra change to keep things off the counter. This can be as simple as a decorative bowl or a shoebox.
2. Labels are ideal. Place labels on plastic bins or drawers for similar-looking things, like sugar, flour and pancake mix.
3. Use an empty tissue box to store plastic shopping bags for later use as trash bags.
4. Magnet hooks come in handy for spices on the side of the fridge and utensils along the wall.
5. Use a wire shelf in the refrigerator to create shelving space. You can use one that is designed for a locker.

Living in an apartment is a big step up from living in the dorms. You finally have a place that you can make your own. You are not confined to four walls and a mirror anymore. So, it's important to make your new place feel like home. Here are a few inexpensive, easy, and quick ideas that you can use to spice up your place.
CRAYON ART
SUPPLIES:
Crayons - $3
Canvas - $5
Blow Dryer - $10
Newspaper - free on campus
Estimated Time: 60-90 minutes
This arts collage will bring color to your living room or bedroom. Its artsy and creative and will impress your visitors.
1. Line up the crayons on the top of the canvas in the order you want them to go.
2. Glue the crayons down. If you keep the paper on crayons, hot glue will work best. If you decide to take the paper off of the crayons, use super glue.
3. Before you melt the crayons, tape up newspaper to the wall you will be using to prop up your canvas. The crayon wax will splatter.
of your carvings. The crayon in the blow dryer and apply heat close to the crayons. They will begin to melt fairly quickly
5. You can control the way the wax splatters by controlling the way you move the hair dryer across the canvas. Swift, sharp movements will cause the wax to splatter further across the canvas whereas smooth movements will keep the colors closer together.
DRY ERASE PAINT SWATCH CALENDAR
SUPPLIES:
Frame - $5-$10
Paint Swatches - FREE
Glue Stick - $2
Spray Paint (Optional) - $3
Estimated Time: 60 minutes
This is an new and cute way to organize your dates. And, because it is dry-erase, you don't ever have to worry about buying a new calendar. 1. Remove the picture and cardboard from the frame so you just have the glass and the back of the frame. The back of the frame will serve as the background for your calendar, so feel free to spray paint it any color you want.
2. Cut the paint swatches apart and line them up on the backboard. Be sure to leave enough space on the edges so they are not cut off by the outside of the frame.
3. Glue the paint swatches down.
4. Put the back of the frame back on and voila.

PAINTED WOODEN LETTERS
VIVES
SUPPLIES:
Wooden Letters - $2 per letter
NECESSITIES
Estimated Time: 30-45 minutes
These letters look great on a shelf or can be used as book ends. They are simple and easy but can make a statement and bring personality to any room.
1. Spray paint the letters. Be sure to spray paint the tops, sides, and backs of the letters as well.
2. Optional: You can choose to make one letter standout from the other letters. You can do this by making it a different color, gluing on jewels to one letter, or whatever else you'd like.
10 apartment essentials
DANI BRADY
dbrady@kansan.com
1. SMOKE ALARM AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR Safety first, my friends. Although your landlord is responsible for providing
this, make sure he or she is installing and maintaining these in your new place.
2. Buying paper plates and plastic utensils may seem like a great (and rather lazy) idea, but can become pretty pricey. Your new
dishes are going to need to be washed, so buy some dish soap and utilize the dishwasher if you're lucky enough to have one. If not, get scrubbin.'
3. ROLLS OF ALUMINUM FOIL, PLASTIC WRAP AND TUPPERWARE Instead of making lunch or dinner and wasting the leftovers have a place to store them.
Covering them with foil or throwing them in a container can save you meals.
4. TOILET FREAKING PAPER It runs out quickly, so buy in bulk.
5. BOTTLE OPENER AND CORKSCREW Planning a Wednesday wine night or thirsty Thursday? Be sure to have these two items in your kitchen, and please drink responsibly
6
FULL-LENGTH MIRROR
We are all guilty of spending just a little too much time in front of the mirror, so why not get the full view? A behind-the-door mirror from Target or Walmart does the
from Target of Woman job perfectly and is as cheap as $5.99.
7
SHOWER CURTAIN AND HOOKS Don't find yourself taking a shower the first night in your new place without a shower curtain: it's awkward. Remember the rod as well as the hooks.
EXTENSION CORDS
8
EXTENSION CORDS When you realize that your electronics outnumber the amount of outlets in your apartment, you're going to wish
you had a few of these.
9. LIGHT BULBS Your apartment will probably come with some permanent lighting that will need new bulbs. Table and standing lamp
will need them as well. Energy saving light bulbs can last up to 10 times longer than normal light bulbs, they emit less heat and are cheaper.
10.
BLINS, SHUTTERS OR SHADE
Your new place may not come with these, so you want to be sure
to bring some of your own. Paper shades are a great, cheap alternative for expensive window treatments. They can be cut to fit any window and sell for only a few dollars.

WHAT TO DO IF
NV1
THERE IS A FIRE
It was just after 5:30 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2012, when Kerry Redmond, a senior from Lenexa, was awakened by his roommate shouting at him to get out and pulling a bunny cage out of the third story window. Redmond's roommates and their friends began crawling over him to get to the fire escape, just outside his window. Meanwhile, an orange glow grew larger on the first floor porch.
Still confused, Redmond opened the door to the hallway, where smoke immediately hit him in the face. It was then that he realized that his house was on fire.
mketcham@kansan.com
There have been 60 house fires in Lawrence so far this year. To reduce possible hazards, an ordinance to ban couches on porches was passed by the Lawrence City Commission on Sept. 3.
Redmond believes this ordinance is important, as the fire in his house began on the porch couch.
MEGHAN KETCHAM
mketcham@kansan.com
"Don't give yourself any ability to start a house fire," he said. "Keep couches off of the porch. They go up. I love a couch porch, but a hammock is just as cool but less flammable."
It's important to consider prevention measures when choosing an apartment or before renting a house, according to James King, Lawrence Fire Marshall and Division Chief of Prevention.
"Look for places that have sprinkler and alarm systems," King said. "The alarm systems
will provide early notification, and sprinklers are excellent at putting out fires early. Meet with the landlord or building manager to speak about fire safety"
After the fire, residents are not advised to return to the area, even to collect valuables. Although Redmond lost in the fire, he said that it is more important for others to be safe.
"Stay optimistic," Redmond said. "If it happens to you, just make sure your friends are safe. It's priority."
In addition to looking at the house itself for fire dangers, students should be cautious of the objects they place inside and around the house. King said that candles should be placed away from curtains and wall hangings. Students are also advised to discard cigarettes and other smoking materials in a non-flammable container filled with water or sand.
"If you have a phone available, communicate through the 911 dispatcher so they can relay it to the fire crews working." King said. "If it is daylight, get to a window. Wave something bright to attract attention. If it's at night, use a light. Find a means to communicate with people. Don't jump. Once you get above the third floor, or more than 20 to 30 feet, you risk severe injury by jumping."
Fires can still occur, despite taking precautions to prevent them, and warning signs are not always apparent. Knowing exits beforehand and making sure that fire alarms work are helpful.
THERE IS A ROBBERY

Having your own apartment can be the best experience of your life. It can also be a lot of work to keep clean and make sure the rent is always in on time. One thing that most people don't plan for when signing a lease for an apartment or house while attending college is a burglary.
Mitch Seeman, a senior from Overland Park, said that he had some of his belongings stolen, including his laptop and his Xbox 360, when he and his roommates were away for spring break last year.
"My roommate came back and said a window was broken, the back door was open and the TV was on," Seeman said. "He filed a police report before he knew that all of my stuff was gone, so by the time I got back and noticed my things were missing it was too late."
Their vacant home probably could have probably been protected with a security system, but one of the difficulties of renting a home in Lawrence is that most of the apartments and homes don't come equipped with security systems. Most students don't think about having one installed or they don't invest in one because installation can be expensive.
Seeman now says he tries to lock his doors when he leaves and at night.
"One of the the things that poses a threat most often is that in the common areas of a house or an apartment is that people don't
always lock the doors," Sgt. Trent McKinley, the Lawrence Police Department Public Affairs Officer, said. "Lots of times students think they should leave a key hidden outside, or a window open so that they can get back in in case they get locked out, and that causes a lot of problems."
McKinley said that taking precautions such as closing the blinds to make sure people can't see your belongings in your home and giving your space a "lived-in" look are good ways to prevent burglary. He also said that taking your most valuable belongings home with you over long breaks is the best way to avoid a burglary over holiday seasons.
To protect his valuable electronics, Seeman registered his new computer on preyproject.com, a website that allows him to track his laptop as well as any other technology equipped with the software from any location.
Other ways to protect a college living space from theft is to purchase security items, such as a safe with a lock pad to place small belongings in, or to place a small and narrow rod in between sliding windows to prevent them opening from the outside. A door security bar which attaches to the floor in an entryway can provide enough leverage to prevent a door from being opened from the outside.
Renters insurance is another option students can consider.
"Sometimes students just assume that they are under their parents' insurance but that isn't always the case," McKinley said. "It's pretty cheap. It costs less than it would cost to
THERE IS A TORNADO
When buying an apartment, one of the last things on a student's mind is tornado safety. However, students should take safety precautions in case of inclement weather. Here are some apartment safety tips to abide by during a tornado:
PREPARATIONS BEFORE
- Have a weather radio with battery backup.
- Sign up for the Douglas County IRIS call notification system.
- Keep a flashlight and first aid kit by your bed in the case of a power outage.
- Discuss tornado safety with roommates, and designate a place to go during inclement weather. Many apartments do not have basements, so come up with a plan
to get to the safest place on a lower level.
IN CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER
- Stay away from windows, electrical equipment and water pipes.
- Listen for tornado sirens, and don't ignore warnings. If you hear a siren, go to the basement or lowest level of the building.
- If the lowest level is not a basement, go to a windowless bathroom or the most interior room in the apartment.
- If inclement weather is approaching, grab enough food and water to last at least three days and put it in a backpack ready to go.
- Wait until a meteorologist signals the end
AFTER INCLEMENT WEATHER
of the tornado warning to exit to a safe area
- If someone is injured, call 911.
TORNADO LINGO
- Tornado watch means conditions in the area are right for a tornado.
- Tornado warning means a tornado has touched down in the area or is likely to within a short amount of time. Danger is imminent.

"We had to learn how to tie ties from our neighbor," Gomez Montoya said.
Learning how to tie a tie, change a tire and catch a baseball weren't the only things Gomez Montoya missed out on by not having a father present. He also missed out on having the awkward, but necessary, conversations fathers have with their sons.
These father-son conversations about how to treat women, to set goals, to lead by example, to be humble and even how to carry yourself as a man are difficult for mothers to emulate. Many of these lessons Gomez Montoya learned on his own.

The goal of the symposium was to create a space for men to gather and openly discuss problems they were facing as well as help men develop a view on what healthy masculinity looks like.
"It was a sense of duty and obligation," Velasco said. "Now that we won, we have a duty to teach people what it means to be a man."
Velasco graduated in the spring of 2013, but during his time at the University he was involved in a number of organizations. He said his masculinity was challenged at times because of his sexual orientation.

JAYHAWK HOUSE
Jayhawk House displays pride
dbrady@kansan.com
DANI BRADY
Tailgating season is in full effect, and what better way to show your pride and love for the Jayhawks than to live in a house painted red, blue and yellow?
Located on Ninth and Mississippi Streets, just steps from Memorial Stadium, the "Jayhawk House" cannot go unnoticed.
Katelyn Zink, a junior from Bushton and Chinyere Amadi, a junior from Parsons moved into the house in August after seeing an ad for the house on Craigslist. It was an easier process than they thought considering it's widespread popularity.
They were excited to be a part of a tradition and live in a house that is famous for promoting Jayhawk spirit.
EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN
Zink and Amadi's landlord painted the house about six years ago.
"Our parents were a little skeptical about us moving in because it is an older house, but they love it because it is so 'college,' Zink said.
"He told us he hopes that no one from K-State will move anywhere close," Amadi said.

Each roommate pays $275 per month for rent. They were happy with the price and believe that the one-floor house with two bedrooms and one bath is the perfect size for them. They were fortunate to be able to furnish the house from donations made by friends and family.
The "Jayhawk House" draws crowds of fans taking photos and sharing University pride. Zink and Amadi are thankful they live in a

house where Kansas fans can celebrate and make memories.
They plan on hosting tailgates for every home football game this season, as well as making some money by selling parking spots on gamedays.
The girls are excited to start their own traditions at their new home painted in true lavahawk fashion.
"When we're older, we will always remember that we lived in the 'Jayhawk House' our junior year." Amadi said.

Apartment basics: an alphabetized guide
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
hsundermeyer@kansan.com
A -- ALARM CLOCK. A must have for any college student, especially if you moved off campus and commute to class. If you struggle to get out of bed in the mornings, try moving your alarm clock across the room. To shut it off, you will have to get up and get moving, making it easier to start your day.
B--BAKING SODA & VINEGAR. Cleaning products can be hard on your wallet, especially for college students on a budget. This duo will do the trick for just about any tough stain or mess for half the cost
C --COUPONS. You don't have to become an "extreme couponer," but keep an eye out for coupons that come in the mail and are available around campus to easily save money on groceries and restaurants.
DUMBBELLS. As a busy college student, it can be very hard to find time to exercise. Keep several five- or ten-pound weights around your room for quick and easy at-home workouts.
EXTENSION CORDS. Save yourself a trip to the hardware store and come prepared with extra extension cords. It's likely there will not be enough outlets for all of the things you need to plug in.
F--FURNITURE. Depending on your living situation, your space may or may not come with chairs, sofas, beds and other furniture. Furnishing a home can get pretty pricey, so check out local thrift shops, Goodwills and rummage sales for deals.
G --GLUE. As strange it as it sounds, you never know when you will need to make repairs. A hot glue gun can be used to hang curtains, hem pants or even repair furniture.
HEALTHY FOODS. When cooking for yourself for the first time, it can be easy to resort to eating out. However, there are plenty of inexpensive, health foods to stock your pantries with. Try whole grain pastas, canned tuna, beans and fresh fruits like apples and bananas.
--IRON. Many stores have inexpensive irons and ironing boards available. When you find a spare moment during the weekend, iron all of your clothes that may need it. That way, you don't have to worry about it later in
the week. The next time you are running late in the morning, your clothes will be ready to go.
JOURNAL. Dedicate a journal to your budgeting. Keep track of purchases, bills and your grocery list in one convenient location that you can take with you anywhere.
-KITCHEN BASICS. When you move in, don't forget to bring along the essentials, like can openers, sharp knives, utensils, wooden spoons, pots, pans and measuring cups.
LAUNDROMAT. Not all living spaces come with appliances like washers and dryers. Make sure you find the location and rates of the nearest laundromat.
M-MONEY. Keep a stash of emergency cash hidden somewhere in your apartment. Whether you need to pay the pizza guy or simply little extra money on hand when you run out of lightbulbs, always have at least $50 at the ready.
N-NEIGHBORS. Make an effort to get to know those living around you. Starting off on a good note will reduce the likelihood of conflicts in the future, not to mention you may make a few new friends.
O --OUTSIDE. When the weather gets cooler, a porch, balcony or even a few yards of grass provides an area to entertain your guests. To decorate, go to a dollar store and buy some inexpensive lighting.
PHOTOS. Photos are an inexpensive and creative way to decorate and make your new living space feel more "homey". Get together with roommates and decide on some photos you all like. Walgreens, CVS and other drug stores offer inexpensive photo printing. If photos aren't your thing, start out with one or two basic items to add personality to your place and build on from there.
Q--QUIET. If you are living with roommates, make sure you set ground rules when it comes to work and play. Designate certain nights to switch the stereo bumping to headphones when you need a calm setting to focus on schoolwork.
R -RENT. Whether you live alone or with friends, make sure you have a plan of action regarding monthly rent. Keep reminders of dates to have checks sent out by to avoid hidden late fees and stress.
SCENTSY. Candles and air fresheners are an inexpensive way to spruce up your living space and create a warm, welcoming environment. A Scentsy is a device that warms candles without actual flame, which is a safer and equally effective alternative to lit candles.
TOOLBOX. You never know when you may need a hammer, nails or a screwdriver. Whether you are putting together furniture or fixing up the place, always keep a box with some basic tools handy.
U--UTILITIES. Keep your monthly costs low by being aware of hidden expenses. Turn lights off whenever you leave a room, open windows when it's nice outside to avoid cranking up the air conditioning or toss extra blankets on your bed when winter hits.
V-ACUUM. It can be easy to put off chores and other household necessities, especially when living on your own for the first time. By staying on top of cleaning, you can prevent pest problems and create a healthier living environment for everyone.
W
W--WATER. Try and keep your showers around 10 minutes. Your water bill will greatly decrease if you make a conscious effort.
--X-BOX. Make sure to pencil in time to relax and have fun between schoolwork and extracurriculars. If you have a Kinect, invite friends over for a game night and get active at the same time.
YELLOW. Adding yellow accents to a room will immediately brighten up a space, especially if your bedroom or other areas don't have much natural light. It's been proven by color analysts that yellow improves self-esteem and overall health.
--ZIPCODE. Lawrence has five different zip codes. Keep an eye out for an address change when moving from dorms to an apartment, even if they're just a few miles from each other.

There are more than 30 grocery stores and markets in Lawrence. Options include the Community Mercantile, Target, Walmart, Dillons and Checkers. Look around for weekly specials and coupons to save some cash.
Variety of options exist for savvy grocery shopping
MADDY MIKINSKI
mmikinski@kansan.com
Food is what makes the University world spin around. It's what ties all 27,000 of us together. Food is there for better or worse, for tailgates and Final Fours.
Grocery store owners have seen this and decided to cash in on the connection food ties to students.
According to YellowPages.com, there are close to 30 grocery stores in the Lawrence area all catering to different tastes. Choosing which store to go to can get confusing. Should you choose a locally owned market or a corporate store? What's at the Mediterranean store? What will give me the most microwavable food for the least money?
The first thing to do is ask around. See where everyone else shops.
"I like Country Mart because of how fresh the food usually is," said Morgan Holloman, a freshman from Richmond. "I most often buy my meats and vegetables there."
For those that have fresh food at the top of their list, Country Mart would be a good place to try. Another fresh food destination is the Lawrence Farmers' Market, located at Eighth and New Hampshire Streets. Operating every Saturday in April through November, and every Tuesday in May through October, the Farmers' Market is a destination for everything from produce to pies. The Farmers' Market also helps out the local farming community.
Unlike the Farmers' Market, The Merc Coop on Ninth and Iowa Streets has local food available every day and offers a wide variety of produce in addition to a bakery, a deli, and a meat counter. For prices and deals, check out
their website.
For items that The Merc can't provide, Target is a popular source for shopping for college students.
"They have everything I want, and it's just a comfortable place to shop," said Helen Gent, a senior from Lawrence.
While Target's produce section isn't the biggest, it has aisles of other grocery items available. Target is the place to buy all kinds of drinks, snack items and other items that can't be locally grown.
In addition to grocery aisles, Target also has a pharmacy and electronics. Target's biggest asset is the fact that it carries so much. It has clothing, Christmas cards and flu shots all under one roof. It's perfect for people who like to do their shopping quickly and all in one place.
If Target has a drawback, it's the pricing. The store's prices are usually more expensive than what you would pay at Walmart or other grocery stores. In addition, the clothing can also be pricey. Take it from me, someone who's bought one too many Target dresses in her lifetime.
Make a list of your priority items and find a store that fits what's best for you. If you believe good karma will come from buying locally owned foods, go for The Farmers' Market. If you're willing to combat higher prices in order to get your shopping done faster, stick to Target. If you can't decide on what your priorities are, try all 30 Lawrence grocery stores and see which one fits you best.
Target looks to be remedying their more expensive prices by introducing a dollar section at the front of their stores. The quirky items are worth checking out.

Government shutdown temporarily puts funding for graduate research on hold
EMMA LEGAULT elegault@kansan.com
Graduate students' applications for a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship or Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant have been temporarily put on hold by the government shutdown.
The online application process is unavailable, but students are encouraged to continue preparation materials for the deadlines falling between Nov. 4.
and 8. Roberta Pokphanh, assistant dean of graduate studies, said they are expecting applications to be accepted and awards made for the upcoming year, despite the shutdown. Students with a current fellowship will not be affected.
The fellowship provides a $32,000 annual stipend for three years to a student pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and a $12,000 cost-of-education allowance to
their institution.
The grant provides approximately $10,000 to students who may not have adequate funding through their institution to assist in the quality of their dissertation research. Unlike the fellowship, it doesn't provide a salary or stipend.
Austin Charron, a Ph.D. student in the geography department from Corvallis, Ore., is set to submit a grant application on Thursday to aid with his Ph.D. dissertation focusing on regional identity in Siberia and Russia. The NSF grant
would allow him to travel to the area for five months to complete surveys.
If the shutdown is still in effect when he submits the application, there will be no one to review his proposal at that time.
He said he's fairly confident that once the situation has improved, the accepting process will get back on track; however, the long-term effects of the shutdown on grant funding are unknown.
"The uncertainty of it all is a little alarming," Charron said.
The frozen state of the application process won't delay Charron's research, but others applying for the grant may not be as fortunate. Nancy Myers, grant development officer at the Institute for Policy and Social Research, described the situation as a "holding pattern."
"We're just crossing our fingers that [the shutdown] will lift and we can get our students' proposals through and know one way or another if they need to find other funding." Myers said.
delay research progress and career advancement. Coupled with the recent sequestration legislation, which estimated a $12 billion reduction in federal research spending this year, the support of these projects is suffering.

It was the kind of divorce that didn't end on bad terms, but it didn't end on good terms either. Mauricio Gomez Montoya's parents split up when he was 13 years old. After that point he never really saw his dad.
Gomez Montoya was raised by his mother in Mexico City. His brother, only two years older, was the first real male role model he had. Gomez Montoya and his older brother had to figure things out on their own — there are some things that mothers can't provide to teenage boys that fathers can.
"We had to learn how to tie ties from our neighbor," Gomez Montoya said.
Learning how to tie a tie, change a tire and catch a baseball weren't the only things Gomez Montoya missed out on by not having a father present. He also missed out on having the awkward, but necessary, conversations fathers have with their sons.
These father-son conversations about how to treat women, to set goals, to lead by example, to be humble and even how to carry yourself as a man are difficult for mothers to emulate. Many of these lessons Gomez Montoya learned on his own.

MALE GUIDANCE NEEDED
"If I needed it 10 years ago, chances are students need it now," Gomez Montoya said.
Male students are in need of direction especially at the college level. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, only 57.7 percent of male students at the University are graduating within six years, compared to the 64.2 percent of female students at the University that are graduating in
Gomez Montoya said a reason for this could be lack of focus and guidance among college-aged men.
"There are not a lot of role models and men are trying to figure it out on their own." Gomez Montoya said. "Sometimes I think group behaviors take over."
These group behaviors can come in many forms: fraternity houses, locker rooms, pop culture, social media or even friends.

"The research would suggest that the statistics on 'bad behavior' judicial offenses brought up at college campuses are mostly men," Davis said. "Why we don't pay attention to this is a great question."
the University selects 15 male students, faculty or staff members as Men of Merit. This award goes to men who positively define masculinity through challenging norms, taking action and leading by example, while making contributions to the University or the community. Gomez Montyona was a 2013 Man of Merit winner.
CREATING CHANGE
Kris Velasco, a winner from 2012, decided to take his role as a Man of Merit one step further. Velasco sent out an email to other Man of Merit winners asking if they would like to continue to challenge social norms facing men by creating a masculinity symposium.
The goal of the symposium was to create a space for men to gather and openly discuss problems they were facing as well as help men develop a view on what healthy masculinity looks like.
Velasco graduated in the spring of 2013, but during his time at the University he was involved in a number of organizations. He said his masculinity was challenged at times because of his sexual orientation.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Twitter influences House shutdown
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
When the government shut down last in 1995, it was closed for 21 days and, according to Gallup, it didn't affect public opinion in the long run.
But, now, with the government shutdown in its second week and social media a prevalent form of communication that wasn't available to people in 1995, its effects, frustration and information are being spread more widely than before.
Many of Twitter's trending topics in the U.S. last week revolved around the shutdown.
DearCongress,
ShutdownPickupLines,
NoBudgetNoPants and simply
GovernmentShutdown made the list.
Though social media gives everyone a voice, does social media influence politics?
NATIONAL POLITICS
Hyunjin Seo, an assistant professor at the school of journalism, teaches a social media class and said social media's prevalence has caused most politicians to engage with their constituents through Facebook and Twitter.
"Social media has become an important channel through which citizens gather information, express their opinions on social and political issues and mobilize movements around those issues," Seo said.
"This may help put pressure on politicians to resolve the issue," Seo said. "At the same time, social media has amplified polarized views on issues, as people tend to follow online influencers, communities or media sources that they agree with."
However, Seo said the effect social media has on politics is difficult to measure. He also said trending Twitter hashtags likely have the most influence.
Shelby Webb, junior from Ottawa, Kan., said she was prompted to tweet to the Speaker of the House John Boehner by an email from Barack Obama's Organizing for Action campaign.
TWEET from @shellywebbly: @
SpeakerBoehner I was trying to
think of something funny but also
anti-gov shut down, but then I just
got sad. So try to fix ityo.
"It wasn't a very thoughtful tweet, but I was taking part in a 'tweet at Boehner' campaign I got an email about," Webb said. "I believe in those types of situations it's more the magnitude of unrest among people that counts."
The email encouraged people to create a Twitter account if they weren't already on the social media platform.
LOCAL POLITICS
"It is a place where many members of Congress and their staffers try to drive the narrative of the day," the email said about Twitter.
Kansas State Representative Stephanie Clayton is serving her first term representing parts of Johnson County and actively uses her own Twitter account @ SSCloCoKs.
Clayton uses Twitter to communicate her decisions to constituents and reaches out to them for feedback.
"I use it because I believe that it makes me more transparent and accountable to my constituents," Clayton said.
She said she understands that there's a risk with social media because it is public communication, and the more you put out there, the more vulnerable you are.
"I might as well be standing in the street with those people yelling things at me because everyone can hear," Clayton said.
Though Clayton uses Twitter, she is unsure the influence it has on a broader level. She has never been swayed to a different position based on social media communications and is skeptical that Congress members would be either.
Clayton said it's harder to know if people who give her feedback are her constituents, and though she always asks, it might be harder for senators and congressmen to make the distinction.

Shutdown impacts farmers' support networks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE

ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. — When Tim Peterson finished planting his 900 acres of winter wheat last week, the usually market-savvy Kansas farmer unexpectedly found himself struggling to make critical marketing decisions without being able to access to vital agricultural reports, casualties of the federal government shutdown.
"We have no clue what is going on in the market," said Peterson, who farms near Monument in northwest Kansas. He typically protects his investment in seed and fertilizer by "locking in" the price his wheat crop will fetch next July with a futures contract that shields farmers from market fluctuations by guaranteeing a price while the crop is in the ground.
Farmers and livestock producers use the reports put out by the National Agriculture Statistics Service to make decisions - such as how to price crops, which commodities to grow and when to sell them - as well as track cattle auction prices.
Not only has the NASS stopped putting out new reports about demand and supply, exports and prices, but all websites with past information have been taken down.
"It is causing a direct void in information that is immediate," Peterson said.
This worries him far more than his other problem: When will his $20,000 subsidy check from the government, which usually comes in October, arrive?
Since the U.S. Agriculture Department's local farm services offices also have been shuttered, farmers can't apply for new loans, sign up acreages for government programs or receive government checks for programs they're already enrolled in. And at a time when researchers who are seeking new wheat varieties and plant
traits should be planting experimental plots, all work has ground to a halt.
Kansas Farmer's Union president Donn Teske, a grower in the northeast Kansas town of Wheaton, worried about payments he's owed for idling some environmentally sensitive land under the Conservation Reserve Program.
"I always look forward to that check coming in the mail," the 58-year-old said.
The reports, for instance, can alert them to shortfalls in overseas markets or if there's a wide swing in acres planted, both of which would prompt U.S. growers to plant extra crops to meet those demands or hang on to a harvest longer to get a better price.
But all of that, farmers say, pales in comparison to the lack of agriculture reports, because farmers today depend far more on global marketplaces than government payouts.
"That information is worth a lot of money, a lot more than $20,000 a year," Peterson said, a reference to his subsidy.
Major commodity players can pay for crop size estimates usually provided in the NASS reports from "private sources," said Dalton Henry, director of governmental affairs for the industry group Kansas Wheat. "Producers aren't going to have that same luxury," he said.
During the shutdown, the USDA won't provide sales reports from Oklahoma livestock auctions that are used to help set prices on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, state Department of Agriculture employee lack Carson said.
"We are working. They are not." Carson said.
Another ripple effect is that farmers may see a delay in checks they're owed from federal support programs, said Wisconsin agriculture secretary Ben Brancel.
Brancel also noted that his office heard from a farmer on the first
subsidies remain intact for fall crops currently being harvested. Crop insurance, funded under a permanent authorization, is mostly unaffected.
The expiration of the law won't have an impact until the end of the year, when some dairy supports end and milk prices are expected to rise sharply.

World oil supply is less endangered than public believes
Every now and then, there is concern that the world is running out of oil. It is not new, and it is founded on legitimate trends. People demand higher standards of living, and that requires crude oil. And of course, the world's population is increasing. Most importantly, based on different oil origination theories, it is a safe assumption that the Earth's oil resources are effectively finite. These big-picture facts set the stage for a doomsday scenario: The world is running out of oil.
For many, this supports a call for immediate, sometimes drastic, policy action. If strong government intervention isn't taken, the private sector - with a short-term point of view - will be unable to meet future energy demand. How can oil companies - at the mercy of their shareholders every fiscal quarter - make long-term energy decisions that impact future generations? That's a valid concern, but despite calls for nationalization of U.S. oil resources, the vast majority of the world's fossil fuels
They cannot. While government guidance and regulation is completely necessary to provide a long-term plan for the energy future, and admitting that nationalization has helped many oil-producing regions, the global energy industry cannot be centrally planned. That is important-oil is the lifeblood of the global economy. A combination of competition, regulation, oil firms and entire nations must work together to address energy issues.
are not in the hands of any U.S. company. Well, how can foreign national oil companies interested in their own country's well-being make long-term energy decisions that impact the global energy future?
But "running out of oil" is not one of those issues. The world is not running out of oil. The doomsday scenario that finite energy supplies will be exhausted by ever-increasing energy demand is a simplified view of the oil market. It assumes that oil-consumer and producer behavior will not change, regardless of price.
By Chris Ouyang
couyang@kansan.com
That assumption flies in the face of classical economic considerations. As price increases, consumers begin considering alternatives to oil and consider reducing their consumption. Producers are incentivized to produce oil that may have been uneconomic at lower prices. As the price of oil reaches $200 a barrel, firms are able to produce oil that was not profitable at $100 a barrel. Additionally, there is market incentive to innovate and find suitable alternatives.
The proof is in the numbers. World oil reserves total somewhere around 1526 billion barrels. The world consumes nearly 88 million barrels a day, or somewhere around 32 billion barrels
a year. Does this mean that the world will run out of oil in about 50 years? No. If you trend oil "reserves" historically, the world has had 40-50 years of reserves for many more years than 50 years. Why? As the price of oil makes oil exploration economic, oil discoveries replace consumption. By definition, the nomenclature "reserves" includes the idea of economic production-it is not fixed.
Some critics of this perspective might claim that demand for oil is inelastic, meaning that the demand for oil will not change regardless of price. In the short run, they might be correct, but there has been historical precedent for the substitution of energy sources. In the 1800s, whale oil was used extensively in the United States to light oil lamps. But, eventually, due to the same market forces that I just described, kerosene replaced whale oil in the 19th century.
Immediately, it seems that there is no replacement for oil. However, I doubt the largest supporters of whale oil could foresee the
refining of crude oil into kerosene as a replacement product for their whale oil. I seriously doubt that they could have predicted that gasoline, another product of refining that was initially discarded in favor of just kerosene, would become a dominant transportation fuel, or that natural gas would begin to supplant coal.
No one can see 50 or 100 years down the energy road, and many are uncomfortable with that. It becomes very hard to politically plan to secure the energy future. But derailing the energy discussion with constant chatter of "running out of oil" is irresponsible. That effort would be much better spent understanding the competitiveness of substitute resources, preferably ones that are renewable and carbon neutral, and the ways those resources can be brought to market without handicapping economic growth.

Students display a wide spectrum of cooking ability
Cooking is a lot like driving a car. When you start out, nobody wants to be your first passenger, and when you get really good, you suddenly become a chauffeur. There are the people who want to drive everywhere and show off their car, and the ones who never feel the need to learn to drive because they have friends who give rides freely. And where do I fit in? I tend to be that person whose car collects dust in the parking lot because I have the skills to use it, but rarely feel like taking the time or effort to do so.
SUNDAY, JULY 20TH
By Anna Wenner
awenner@kansan.com
In less metaphorical terms, I can cook, but I choose not to.
Maybe I was misinformed by my mom's old college stories, but I thought that was how most college students cooked. They made easy, mostly-already-prepared meals and coasted through their culinary cuisine with a sort of limp. But then, maybe that was wrong, because all of my friends seem to actually cook.
This is probably a good time to mention that my view on cooking is a little skewed. Living in a scholarship hall at KU, it's not at all unusual to be surrounded by people who enjoy and excel at cooking. Most of the time, it's a good thing, but every now and then I feel like my pizza snacks and cheese-filled tortillas are being observed with a bit of condescension. I feel bad, even a little ashamed – that is until I talk to some of my friends with
apartments.
One of them bragged to me that they had eaten nothing but ramen noodles for the last two weeks. Another laughed and said that Easy Mac was about the highest level of meal they ever cooked unless they were having some sort of party, and then they added chips. Yeah, you could say I felt a little better after that.
All of this got me to thinking that there really ought to be a guide for how to survive on your most comfortable level of cooking. To make it nice and user friendly, I decided to give it a number system. The higher the number, the more likely you are to cook. We'll start with the ambitious people, shall we?

points if the food is from another culture - you'll learn about different parts of the world and have a delicious meal.
GETTING BY: You can cook, and sometimes you do. You make things like meat, and you even think about including fruits and vegetables sometimes (the kind that don't come out of the can). You buy a lot of food you don't have to prepare (like fresh fruit, bagels and cream cheese) and your maximum cooking effort involves putting some sort of protein on a
bread product. You also mix the food together in this new thing you created called a recipe. It usually has two ingredients. Even so, you try to eat all of the food groups (most of the time), and you try not to eat the same meal more than five times a week.
1 YES, THE GROCERY STORE IS MANDATORY. If you're in this stage and you're still reading this article, it's probably because you were hoping for some new secret about how to do less cooking than you already manage. Well, I'm sorry to say that unless
you don't mind spending all of your money and gaining a few dozen pounds, you can't eat all of your meals through fast food. Eventually you'll actually venture to the grocery store, even if it is just to buy 100 individual packages of ramen. Good luck my cooking-challenged friends.

ALBUM REVIEW
Danny Brown gives fans introspective new sound
DANNY
BROWN
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
Even though he's only been in the spotlight for a couple of years, Danny Brown is not a new face in rap. He's been active since around 2003, but after releasing numerous mixtapes and albums he finally caught his big break with his 2011 album, "XXX," which was widely regarded as one of the best albums of the year. Now, brown is releasing his highly anticipated follow-up, "Old," and it doesn't disappoint.
The album is divided into a "Side A" and a "Side B." Side A consists of introspective, emotional songs about things that Brown went through during his rough life in Detroit. Side B is full of songs that feature Brown's fun side, and also has a heavy electronic dance music influence.
FOOL'S GOLD RECORDS
ics are comedic gold.
Side A contains many songs in which Brown discusses demons that never went away, such as the seventh track, "Torture," about the horrible things he's seen and been through in Detroit that keep him up at night. The songs are dark, haunting and brilliant. Side B is jam-packed with fast-paced, high-octane bangers. After we hear all of the horrors of Danny Brown's life in Side A, Side B is a great change of pace and breaks up the monotony. On Side B, Brown is much more light-hearted, and some of his lyr-
it's a condected gold. Brown wraps up the album with "Float On", which is a calm and genuine track that has a great feature from English singer Charli XCX. It's a solid way to finish a great album.
Both sides of this album deliver. One of Brown's best assets as a rapper is his ear for production, and the production throughout both sides is no exception. Producers who contributed to the album range from longtime collaborator SKYWLKR to Paul White, one of the most innovative producers in all of hip-hop. Even
though each side has a distinct approach to production, both sound incredibly polished. In "Old," Danny Brown proves he's one of the most diverse artists in rap. He goes from serious to light-hearted effortlessly. Brown definitely does not disappoint with "Old," and it looks to be one of 2013's best rap releases.

belarus journalist wins Pinter writers' prize
Iryna Khalip, a correspondent for Russia's Novaya Gazeta newspaper, shares the 2013 PEN/Pinter prize with British playwright Stomppard.
LONDON — A Belarusian journalist who has criticized her country's authoritarian government has won a major freedom-of-speech prize.
She was detained and beaten in December 2010 after demonstrating against President Alexander Lukashenko and alleged electoral fraud, and later convicted of disrupting public order.
The PEN/Pinter prize was established in 2009 in memory of Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter. It goes jointly to a British writer and a "writer of courage" who has faced persecution.
Stoppard, who scripted Oscar-winner "Shakespeare in Love," is the author of plays such as "Arcadia" and "The Real Thing."
He said Monday, "I started off as a journalist and I'm proud to share the prize with a brave reporter."

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK Rivalry, replay debate, quarterback questions
CONNOR OBERKROM
Former Oklahoma players Travis Lewis and Jaydan Bird celebrate after scoring against Kansas at Memorial Stadium in 2011.
28 55 BIRU 21
coberkrom@kansan.com
The Red River Rivalry, an annual football matchup between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns, features a different look this year due to injuries and new quarterbacks, but the feeling is identical.
"It's really special, it's always kind of like a bowl game in the middle of the year." Stoops said in his weekly press conference.
Both coaches know the significance of the rivalry, and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops thinks just as highly of this year's game as any other.
While the identities of both teams are different this season, Oklahoma has seen the most change. This year's Sooners team features a different quarterback in Blake Bell, and has a new way of running things and a different style of offense overall.
fense over them "They are more run-oriented, and they're moving the ball as well as they have in the past," Texas coach Mack Brown said in a press conference.
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
However, Brown knows the team has an immense amount of room to improve, and that there has been a problem with stopping the run.
Oklahoma will have a void to fill at linebacker as captain of the defense and leading tackler Corey Nelson will be inactive for Saturday's game, and is likely to be out
the rest of the season.
the rest of the season.
Nelson partially tore a pectoral muscle during last Saturday's win over TCU.
Through five games Nelson had 27 tackles, three tackles for a loss, an interception, a sack and four passes broken up.
Despite the loss of Nelson, Oklahoma still features a strong defense that ranks sixth overall in points

also turned up a notice:
"We've just done a good job of playing well to our personnel," Stoops said. "Playing in the 3-4 has given us more speed on the field. We feel like the way we have been matching up with people so far has been positive."
In the Iowa State vs. Texas match-up Thursday night, one crucial umble call changed the game and resulted in a rant from Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads that has gotten numerous views on YouTube.
Rhoads' tirade has also sparked discussions about whether or not instant replay can be fixed appropriately.
practice.
Texas, which was on the goal line looking to close out the game, ran the ball up the middle, and running back Johnathan Gray appeared to be stripped of the ball.
The play was whistled dead, however, and therefore couldn't be reviewed.
Rhoads has downplayed the situation, saying, "One reprimand is enough," and is moving on.
Brown, who has been on the re-

been on the receiving end of questionable calls, has long been in favor of instant replay.
"I think replay across the country has been very, very helpful, and, from a stat that I've seen, there
are much fewer calls that are not right than before we had instant replay." Brown said in a press conference. "I've been a proponent of it the entire time."
The Big 12 had an eight and extra official on some fields during Saturday's games, and most coaches have acknowledged that it was beneficial, especially in the current state of the Big 12 in which fast substitutions and power offenses are prevalent.
Kansas State's quarterback position still not secure
With Kansas State quarterback Daniel Sams turning the ball over four times against Oklahoma State, the quarterback position is still up in the air for coach Bill Snyder.
"It will still remain competitive at this point in the time." Snyder said in a press conference. "As you well
know and see, each one has their strength and both of them have their weaknesses."
While the miscues kept K-State from pulling away, Sams flashed several signs that he was capable, completing 15 of 21 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 118 yards.
Sams' brightest moment of the game came when he orchestrated a 57-yard drive to put the Wildcats up by six in the fourth quarter. K-State ended up losing 33-29.
While both quarterbacks are vastly different, Sams and Baylor's Bryce Petty both give their respective team its own identity as K-State prepares for the high-octane offense of Baylor.

INTRAMURALS
Scholarship hall focuses on athletics

When one hears the term "scholarship hall," the first thing that comes to mind isn't usually athletics — it's academics. Battenfeld Scholarship Hall is breaking the stereotype. While academics come first, intramurals are important to the residents, too.
Battenfeld consists of fifty men that compete well in every league. The men of Battenfeld have a team in every league: dodgeball, volleyball, indoor soccer, racquetball and Ultimate Frisbee. For co-rec
leagues, they tend to combine forces with at least one all female scholarship hall in order to compete.
"We've got a lot of hall and team chemistry, that's why we win," said Sean Luenz, a sophomore from Kansas City.
The co-ed indoor soccer team, composed of Battenfeld and three female scholarship hall res-
identes, has yet to play a complete game due to the mercy rule, which they impose on all opponents.
The mercy rule requires a tenpoint lead, which is hard to accomplish in soccer. The team is looking

THE MORNING BREW Why the Dodgers will win the World Series
It has been said for years that baseball is "America's Pastime" and, as James Jones said playing Terence Mann in the movie "Field of Dreams" "the one constant throughout all the years has been baseball... This game is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good and could be again."
The historical game of baseball is at its most exciting time of the year again, where the dull month of October seems as alive as the month of March, with all the unpredictable and traditional teams playing for one thing – a championship.
By Ryan Levine
rlevine@kansan.com
As the MLB playoffs are now underway, there are both unpredictable teams (the Pirates) and traditional teams (the Red Sox) that all have a legitimate shot at claiming the World Series title. However, there is another unpredictable and traditional team I have in mind that will actually win the World Series: the Los Angeles Dodgers.
the Dodgers considered out of the playoff hunt, but manager Don Mattingly was quickly put on the hot seat as well. Things were looking dim for the club as the light at the end of the tunnel became more and more dull.
With a dismissal record of 30-42 after their June 21 loss to San Diego, not only were
other guys on the roster that have helped make this historical franchise relevant once again.
Then came young Cuban star Yasiel Puig, who, since his debut, has provided an electrical spark that this club was desperately lacking at the beginning of the year. Though he was the centerpiece behind the dramatic stretch the Dodgers had in the middle of the season, there have been
Guys like Adrian Gonzalez, whose veteran presence and consistent play throughout the entire year have been essential to the team's success all season. Hanley Ramirez, who has a bat right now that is as hot as the southern California sun, is looking better than the guy who won the batting title in 2009. And let's not forget about the best pitcher in baseball: Clayton Kershaw.
KU
Yes, Clayton Kershaw is the best pitcher in baseball. Forget his regular season record of 16-9, because I agree it is not that impressive. It is how the Dodgers were playing in the beginning of the season that has made his record what it is. With an ERA of 1.89, Kershaw has led the lead in that category for three years, along with leading the league in strikeouts for the second time in three seasons.
Looking at the other teams that are currently in the play offs, there really
has the ability to win the World Series like the Dodgers. They have the best odds of winning at 5-2, and still play like they have something to prove, because they do. The Dodgers have a higher payroll than any other team in the MLB, and it is time to show that money does buy championships in baseball. As a Dodgers fan, I am happy when my team wins. So, theoretically, money should buy me happiness, right?

Baylor, Big 12 teams show power defensively, too
ASSOCIATED PRESS
No. 15 Baylor is holding opponents to 16 points and 321 yards per game, both in the top 20 in those respective categories.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Forget for a second that Baylor is scoring an eye-popping 70 points per game. The Bears — and some other teams in the high-scoring Big 12 — are doing solid work on the other side of the ball, too.
The Bears forced four turnovers last week in a 73-42 win over West Virginia. The Mountaineers scored twice on defense and got many of their 28 second-half points after Baylor defensive coordinator Phil Bennett pulled his starters.
Baylor (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) has another test in its first road game Saturday at Kansas State (2-3, 0-2)
Much of the credit for Baylor's eight-game winning streak that started last season against the Wildcats can be given to the defense.
"Those guys are flying around," Baylor coach Art Briles said Monday. "Phil's done a great job with them. They have a lot of confidence, and it's confidence that they earned through the ending of last season and it's carried on through this year
For all the Bears have done to get into the end zone, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said Baylor's defense has improved since helping to end the Wildcats' national championship dreams last November in
Waco, Texas.
Texas Tech and Baylor also are
"I think what gets unnoticed probably a great deal is the fact that all the attention is focused on their offense, and yet they're playing quite well defensively," Snyder said. "I thought at the end of the year last year they played so well against us. They have continued that throughout."
Six Big 12 teams rank in the top 50 nationally in total and scoring defense, led by No. 12 Oklahoma (5-0, 2-0).
The Sooners are sixth nationally in scoring defense (13.0) and ninth in the fewest yards allowed (281.6) entering Saturday's Red River Rivalry game with Texas (3-2, 2-0) in Dallas.

was injured in Saturday's 20-17 win over TCU. He was second on the team with 27 total tackles this season.
Stoops called the loss of Nelson "significant."
'Corey's a captain and a guy right there in the
heart of the defense," Stoops said. "It's hard to minimize that. He was having a great, great year and it's unfortunate for him. You hate to see that happen to a guy in his senior year."
Texas quarterback David Ash will sit out the game with concussion-like symptoms, and coach Mack Brown is counting on Case McCoy to help the Longhorns try to break Oklahoma's recent domination in the series.
Texas hasn't surpassed 21 points in each of the past three tries against Oklahoma, all losses.
"This is one of the faster defenses I've seen them have," Brown said. "I think for a Big 12 defense right now, they're exactly what you want. They can all run. They can fly. They're physical but they get to the ball."

COMMENTARY
Homecoming shows sports hierarchy
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
Lawrence is a basketball town.
History supports that conclusion.
This weekend solidified it.
Homecoming is scheduled in order to make football the centerpiece of the weekend. At most schools around the country during their respective homecoming weekends, the stadiums fill to capacity, with people fighting for seats like hungry carp fighting for a piece of day-old bread.
the official attendance for the Texas Tech game was 35,648. Kansas' Memorial Stadium holds more than 50,000 people. Kansas fans couldn't even fill three-quarters of the stadium, and most attendees fled the stadium during the fourth quarter like spiders from a basilisk. Five points if you understand the Harry Potter reference.
Meanwhile, Kansas' other main source of athletic revenue, the basketball team, held a practice on Friday night.
this "practice" goes by a more well-known name: Late Night at the Phog. Clearly, the word "practice" does not adequately describe the tradition and entertainment that Late Night encompasses. But ultimately, you can put rabbit ears on a dog and call him a rabbit, but he's still going to bark at the mailman. Late Night, technically speaking, is a practice. A fun practice, but a practice nonetheless.
Numbers have varied, but there are reports that as many as 25,000 people attempted to get into Late Night. Allen Fieldhouse's capacity is 16,300. This was like trying to squeeze William Howard Taft into a small T-shirt. It just didn't work.
On the other hand, basketball recruits such as Kelly Oubre and Cliff Alexander got to witness the pandemonium of Late Night. Presenting that kind of atmosphere to a high school student borders on unfair. Kansas basketball has the limo, the extravagant dinner and the six pack abs to offer its prom date. Kansas football drives a '95 Saturn and purchases its date Chinese takeout. The fortune cookie reads that a second date is not likely.
The hierarchy is clear at Kansas. Some coaches are up to the enormous challenge of trying to force a shift in the status quo. Turner Gill was not. Charlie Weis still has time. But he is constantly going to be facing an uphill battle.
The success of the basketball team and the devotion of its fanbase are great for the University and put Kansas on the national radar.
This relative lack of interest in the football program is crippling to its development and recruiting. Any recruits who were at Memorial Stadium saw a lot of empty seats during Homecoming weekend. Is this the sales pitch that will have them signing on the dotted line? Unlikely.
However, this same success overshadows the football team and hurts its long-term prospects.
While the backlash from having to turn away 9,000 people is undesirable, the interest in Late Night was exactly what the administration wanted. The administration also wants a similar interest for football. But it just didn't happen. More people showed up for the football game, but that is indicative of the difference in capacities. Put simply, one event overflowed while the other undersold.
Kansas Homecoming. 2013 was simply a demonstration of this.

Charlie Weis stresses effort after loss to Texas Tech
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
When Charlie Weis met with the team Sunday, he broke Saturday's game against Texas Tech down as he watched it with them. First they watched the first quarter, where the Jayhawks outscored the Red Raiders 10-0.
"OK, we're far from perfect, getting away with a 10-0 lead." Weis told his team. "Whooping them pretty good, beating them on both sides of the ball; right now any objective person would say this team has a legitimate chance of winning the game."
Then he showed them 35 plays from the rest of the game to show the players why the game got away from them in what ended up being a 54-16 loss for the Jayhawks.
Weis started by showing them the first quarter so that the team wouldn't focus on how badly the game got out of hand in the following quarters and take away a bad attitude.
But the players who Weis didn't see playing hard until the final whistle of the game will see their names moved down on the depth chart Tuesday.
"The ones that played hard will still be in the same situation they were last week, playing," Weis said. "Then there will be a number of changes in the depth chart I put out tomorrow."
"We put Michael in there because we were going to run some outside option schemes and that is not jake's cup of tea." Weis said. "lake's our starter"
One position that Weis assured has not changed is quarterback. The back-up quarterback Michael Cummings was on the field more than any of the other three games of the season on Saturday, but that was due to the strategy Weis was using.
The offensive line may be another story. Weis indicated that he will make changes to the starters on the offensive line for this week's game at TCU.
Weis was asked during his weekly teleconference with Big 12 media on Monday if the offensive line is being constantly evaluated by coaches looking at who should play.
"Yeah, there will be a bunch of changes here come tomorrow," Weis said.
In the post-game press conference on Saturday, Weis mentioned that there were too many bad snaps from the center to the quarterback, and that he had a conversation with offensive line coach Tim Grunhard about what could be done at the position.
But penalties on the offensive line were also an issue. Weis said he saw an offensive line that was confused by the Texas Tech defense.
"I mean we had five procedural penalties on the offensive line at a home game," Weis said. "That stems from just not paying attention, and that was not a good thing."
An abundance of negatives came out of the game on Saturday, but one that could hurt the Jayhawks moving forward in the season is the injury that running back Tony Pierson suffered in the third quarter when he apparently landed out of bounds on the track at Memorial Stadium.
KANSAS
"All he's got is a headache, which is a good thing," Weis said. "I don't know if he's out for a week, I don't know if he's out for a month. I really don't know how that's going to play out. But I know one thing, with Tony or anyone else, at least we're going to err on the side of caution."
Pierson had his eyes closed and was not moving by the time Weis made his way down the sideline to scene. Weis said Pierson could miss substantial time with a possible concussion after the game, but had a more positive outlook on the injury on Monday.
Weis said Pierson will not be listed as active on the depth chart released Tuesday.

Kansas fanbase loses school spirit
CHRIS HYBL
chybl@kansan.com
When Kansas was up 10-0 on Texas Tech after the conclusion of the first quarter in Saturday's game against Texas Tech, Kansas junior Ryan Morfin of San Jose, Calif. was excited.
Texas Tech would tie the game in the second quarter, and then the fake punt play happened.
Big Jay walks off the field during the game against Texas Tech, Saturday, Oct. 5. After the loss fans, are starting to lose spirit.
Kansas was fourth and 13 with the ball on its own 16, and punter Trevor Pardula attempted to run over 25 yards for the first down. He failed miserably, setting Texas Tech up for an easy touchdown.
"I went to the Tech game to support KU football and I actually thought there was a chance we could win this game," said Morfin. "But that definitely ran out after that fake punt."
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
After the game on Saturday, coach Charlie Weis said that wasn't where Kansas lost the game. Morfin didn't feel the same way.
"It was the stupidest and most surprising play I've ever seen," Morfin said.
The previous night in front of a full house at Allen Fieldhouse, Weis took the mic and struck up the band. Weis delivered a speech attempting to arouse excitement for the football team's game the next day.
"And by 2:30 we can all party together," Weis said at the end of the speech. There wasn't much partying to be had after Kansas was drubbed 54-16. But it's something that Kansas fans have clearly gotten used to.
The more Kansas football worsens, the less tailgating is seen as more of a complement to the actual home football game. With a bad team, home football games really aren't about the football. For people like Cheng, it's simply a calendar-marked day for an all-day party.
"Home games in general are really just a reason to party all day," said junior Michael Cheng of Wichita. "I went for about five plays each of the first two home games and I didn't go to last game. It basically depends on how good the tailgate is."
"I think students, including myself, were hopeful before Saturday's game." Cudney said. "But after a game like that, I think they are right back in the slump that they have been in the last couple seasons."
But some fans, like senior Brea Cudney from Marysville, had more hope for the football team. Cudney stayed until the midway point in the fourth quarter, leaving just before Kansas wide receiver Andrew Turzilli caught a touchdown pass with 7:43 left in the game. Cudney and her friends had stayed significantly longer than other students who left the game well before the halfway point in the third quarter.
Morfin and Cudney were both hopeful for the Jayhawks' season ahead of Saturday's game, and both thought Kansas had a legitimate chance at a win. But after such a one-sided result, even the hopes of the hopeful have even been bashed.
When asked to give a percent chance on the odds of this year's
Vol
team winning a conference game, the two didn't respond with favorable odds.
"I would have to guess 20 percent. I'm being pretty hopeful with that 20", Cudney said.
"15 percent," Morfin said
Another student listening in to Morfin's guess laughed.
A max of 4 or 5 percent, Max," the student said.

Creative 5k popularity inspires campus events

at the after party in Lawrence on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2012. Those interested in running a Halloween-themed 5k have two upcoming opportunities in Lawrence on Oct. 27 and Nov. 3.

According to Active.com, fall is an ideal time for outdoor workouts because of the comfortable temperatures and changing scenery conditions perfect for running races.
"My favorite season is fall, because it's warm outside and I can run," said Sarah Schneider, a junior from Mulvane. Schneider is vice president of the KU Running Club,
which has participated in numerous races and is hosting a National Intercollegiate Running Club Association on Nov. 5.
Schneider isn't the only one who's enthusiastic about fall and the coinciding running conditions. According to Running USA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to distance running, the number of 5-kilometer races and race participants in the United States has increased dramatically. The total number of running events in the
U. S. reached over 26,000 in 2012 with 6.2 million people participating in 5ks alone, according to the organization.
Running USA's 2013 State of the Sport said the spike in participation is due to improved race management, creativity in events and increased accessibility to information via websites and social media, among other factors.
Some organizations within and outside of the University are responding to the recent popularity
of 5ks by creating their own events. For example, Student Union Activities is putting on a 5k called "The Jogging Dead 5k: Run or Die Trying" on Oct. 27. 27. KU Student Endowment is also planning a 5k called "Crimson & Boo! 5k Run" for Sunday, Nov. 3.
KU Student Endowment came up with the idea in response to the success of similar events. Proceeds from the race are going toward KU Endowment's Student Leadership Award, which is given to outstanding campus leaders every spring and can be put toward tuition or the cost of textbooks.
Sarah Morris, the President of the Student Endowment Board, said, "We've received a lot of positive feedback and a lot of interest in the event so far, so we're excited about this year and how we can grow it in the coming years."

Alcohol, fake ID possession among top local offenses
CODY KUIPER
ckuiper@kansan.com
If you happen to have a run-in with Lawrence police, odds are you've got one of two things in your hand: stolen property or a beer.
In 2012, local law enforcement issued 341 citations for a minor in possession of alcohol. This makes MIPs the second-most common public offense in the city behind theft. This doesn't mean 2012 is an anomaly, though. Since 2006, MIPs have been no lower than the fifth most common public offense in Lawrence.
Those charged with an MIP face a multitude of consequences, including a $300 to $500 fine, up to 30 days in jail, 40 hours of community service and an automatic license suspension of 30 days. If charged with unlawful use of a driver's license (a fake ID) the fine could range from $300 to $2,500, up to a year in jail and 100 hours of community service.
When it comes to MIPS and fake ID charges, students have a couple
Softening the blow
of legal options: diversion or fighting the case. Diversion is essentially a contract with the city prosecutor that requires the offender to pay a larger fine and adhere to conditions laid out by the prosecutor. In exchange for staying out of trouble, the charge will be dismissed and made unsearchable by anyone outside of law enforcement.
Steve Allton, staff attorney for the University's Legal Services for Students, estimated that 90 percent of first-time offenders in these cases at the University go on diversion, something that he highly recommends for students.
"A lot of times what we're concerned about is doing anything we can to make sure the student keeps the citation from turning into a conviction," Allton said. "It's common that employers ask about convictions more so than charges, so the nice thing about diversion is if you do complete it, you can tell your employer you don't have one." Allton also recommends that students fill out the application for diversion themselves, rather than hiring a lawyer, to save money.
Diversion is common for first-time offenders, but if a student were
to get caught a second time. Allton said it becomes more complicated and the best option is to lawyer-up.
If a student decides to argue the case, they face a potential conviction as well as lawyer fees and fines upwards of $2,000. If they lose the battle in court, the offender will be convicted of a misdemeanor. That misdemeanor will stay on your record for three years, after which it could potentially be expunged, or completely wiped away, from the offender's record.
"It not a given that those people won't get a second diversion, but it's definitely less likely," he said. "Usually if somebody has a previous conviction, we recommend they seek private counsel because it probably more likely [that] if they have counsel, they will be given diversion again."
Underage students are caught drinking through a combination effort from local law enforcement and bars and restaurants through-

INTERNATIONAL
Course explores global careers
KATIE MCBRIDE
kmcbride@kansan.com
A course on international careers allows University students to solidify their curiosity about working in another country into a clear career plan. The class involves a spring break trip to London or Costa Rica, where students visit global companies and meet with employers. The deadline to apply through study abroad is Nov. 1.
It takes determination for a student to get the chance to work abroad, said David Gaston, director of the University Career Center.
"International employers are not necessarily coming here to recruit you," Gaston said. "You have to go convince someone that you have skills and abilities that will be valuable to them."
Gaston helps coordinate the Preparing for International Careers courses, which aim to teach students the steps necessary to begin an international career.
"We talk to a lot of Americans who have gone abroad. They share their stories and give students insight about what it is like."
Hamel said one focus of the course is to provide students with a realistic picture of what working abroad is like, as there can be significant differences in culture, work style and expectations from one country to the next.
said julie Hamel, assistant director of the University Career Center and one of the instructors for the course.
Before leaving on their trips, the students are assigned the task of setting up an informational interview with someone in an industry the student is interested in. During their time abroad, they conduct the interviews, providing students the chance to ask questions about the work environment and what it takes to obtain a job abroad.
She adds that those who seek work abroad should be flexible, adaptable and open to new experiences.
"If you're the kind of person who's going to take on that challenge, you can't be locked into the way you do things." Hamel said. Additionally, Hamel said that

New app promotes bicycling to campus
mfarber@kansan.com
MADDIE FARBER
As an avid bicyclist, graduate student Jay Decker wanted to help make biking more popular on campus. He created the Racklt App to help bicyclists at the University find places to leave their bikes.
The app, which was finished last week, uses both Google maps and satellite imagery similar to Google Earth to give bicyclists a visual of where bike racks are located on campus. Users can search for bike racks at a specific campus location or building, and "click" on a particular rack to see its capacity. The app is free and currently available to Android phone users.
"I already had the resources to
create the app, and biking has been gaining popularity here. The app creates transparency for bike racks around campus to help people find ones that aren't very eye-catching." Decker said, adding that he hopes this app will help the University become bike-friendly.
Decker, who is in the urban planning master's program, hopes the app will expand beyond campus.
The KU Center for Sustainability has worked closely with Decker and other members of the KU
"Lawrence is a bike-friendly community. Depending on the popularity the app gains, the logical next step would try and coordinate with the city regarding expanding the app. This way it can apply not only to campus riders, but the whole city," Decker said.

throughout Lawrence" said Kari Cantarero, Outreach Coordinator of the KU Center for Sustainability and head of the KU Bicycle Advisory Committee. "There is a large biking community at KU,
both with the KU Cycling group and with students, faculty and staff who cycle to and around campus. By continuing to develop resources such as this app, we hope to ease the ride for those groups and encourage new riders to join."
Jeremy Chabot, a fifth-year senior from Wichita, is working with Cantarero to create covered bike racks, especially around student housing areas where bikes are exposed to the elements for long periods. Chabot, who is also a bicyclist, recently downloaded the RackIt app.
"After downloading the app, I did discover a few bike racks that I didn't know were there. I was surprised there was a rack by Malott," Chabot said.
So other than promoting a
healthier lifestyle, reducing transportation costs, and being environmentally friendly, why should students take an interest in biking on or around campus?
As Decker explains, "It's free,
it's fun and if it's not raining, it's a
great option."
Tuesday, Oct. 21 is "Bike KU Day" during Campus Sustainability Week. Students can learn more about biking on campus, the Bicycle Advisory Committee and Racklt during the week's events, but for now, those interested can visit bike.ku.edu to learn more about biking on campus and in the Lawrence community. Visit the Google Play store to download the Racklt app.

KU Fights Hunger organizes campus food drive
There are 433,260 Kansans who insecure about food. Of those, 18,570 live in Douglas County.
with the hope of feeding some of these struggling citizens, KU Fights Hunger has organized its fifth annual food drive across campus and throughout the Lawrence community.
Thelma Simons, coordinator of KU Fights Hunger, hopes that the food drive and the accompanying events will spread awareness of the hunger crisis in America.

Simons, who started the KU
Fights Hunger group five years ago, got the idea after making
years of donations to the Salvation
Army when her kids were growing up. What started out as adopting a family for Christmas turned into an effort to fight hunger in the local community.
"One year I started asking what else they need, and they mentioned their food supply was low," said Simons, who works in the computer center on campus for KU Information Technology. "Then we got into the habit where he would email me when their food was low and I would gather donations from my building."
From that point, Simons occasional donation runs grew into a

collaboration with the University that kicked off the first KU Fights Hunger food drive. In the years since, the organization has continued to grow and include more of the University and Lawrence communities.
"This idea continues to grow and develop, and the way it evolves is determined by who's involved," Simons said. "So we would really like to get students involved because they would give us a new perspective."
We've got the right place for you.

Student loans, military funding affected by shutdown
ROBERT PYATT
rpyatt@kansan.com
The recent government shutdown is estimated to cost the United States $1.6 billion for every week that the government is shut down. Calculated by the global economic consulting firm IHS Global Insight, this figure translates into about $300 million per day, or $12.5 million per hour of government closure. While the nation scrambles to find an answer to the chaos atop Capitol Hill, American college students, including those on Mount Oread, remain mostly oblivious to the real-world implications of the recent government shutdown, instead preferring to ask the question, "Why does it matter?"
"The scenario that would affect students and everybody would be if the United States defaults on its debt," said Bob Antonio professor in the sociology department. "Its bonds are a major source of investment for other nations, and if there's a loss of confidence in the United States, the ripple effects could be massive."
"Personally, it doesn't matter to me," said Kayla Finks, a junior from Fresno, Calif. "I don't pay attention to politics that much. I just don't feel like it affects me."
Finks isn't the only student that feels unaffected by the shutdown. "I don't know much about the government shutdown," said Austin Biggers, a freshman from Denver. "I know it's a big deal, but I don't know really why it happened. I casually watch news about politics on the news, but I'm not really that involved."
Despite what many students think about the government, there are real consequences for students and average Americans.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, which investigates cases of prejudice, sexual assault, racism and inequality on college campuses across the nation, has closed its doors. Federal funding of graduate and doctoral research programs have been suspended, causing many students, teachers and researchers to discontinue research temporarily, many being barred from their research facilities altogether. This
has been further complicated by the passing of the Oct. 3 deadline for research funding, which many programs will now be unable to apply for because of the shutdown.
Perhaps the greatest impact on students will be their inability to apply for student loans from the government, which would typically affect about 14 million students across the country if it were not for the majority of students already being in school for the semester. However, if students are looking to get a loan from the government for the spring semester, they may have to wait a little longer.
Waterville. "Our grocery stores are all closed down. The only thing that is open is the army hospital and the pharmacy, which has very restricted hours, making it hard for my family to get what we usually take for granted. We can't any of our benefits, which is hard for people who are used to having them."
Unfortunately, the impact of the government shutdown will most likely do little to spark students' interest in government and politics in the United States and around the world.
Military programs across the country have also been hit, causing institutions like West Point to furlough nearly 1,500 staff members and 132 faculty members who were all government employees. Students coming from military families are also affected, as government benefits for military families have temporarily been suspended.
"Historically, students and young people have been the least politically active group in the United States," said Burdett Loomis, professor of political science atthe University. "Students don't vote, they don't talk about politics at all. When something like student loans get taken away, Pell Grants get cancelled or delayed, then they care, but right now, they couldn't care less."
Thankfully, many see students disinterest in government as a temporary issue.
"My dad is in the military, so when we go to the military base, everything is shut down," said Kristen Hays, a junior from
"We need to cultivate citizenship
and a sense of citizenship," Antonio said. "Cultivating citizenship is so important. Cultivating a sense of community forms public opinion and establishes an environment for us to come together in groups."
If anything, the government shutdown could act as a springboard for young voters to get interested in the political sphere. "Events are far more important than anything people can do," said Loomis. "Sometimes it's personalities and events — policies like gay rights, civil rights and the growth of religious groups in politics are what bring people into politics."
Whatever the outcome of the shutdown, the impact on students will not likely change anytime soon. "I'm optimistic about people entering politics and getting interested in politics over time," said Loomis. "I'm pessimistic to change in students' views of politics while they're young."

'Opportunity hoarding' further widens social gaps
Do you deserve to be here? Do you deserve to be a student seeking an education at the University of Kansas? Most would argue, "Yes, I have a pulse." But beyond that, the combination of your high school GPA, ACT score or other abilities probably indicated you could handle college to some degree. While it's great to be a jayhawk, it's definitely not exclusive — our admission rate exceeds 90 percent. On the other end of the spectrum, Harvard's admission rate hovers around 6 percent. Not everyone can attend Harvard, just like not everyone can claim a judicial clerkship or have inside referrals to top Wall Street firms. These chances are scant; the demand far exceeds the supply.
But what if there was a factor that would increase your odds of getting into Harvard five-fold?
Youd want to know what it was, and how you could add it to your resume. Unfortunately, it's like the weather — completely out of your power. Increasing your acceptance chances to 30 percent requires you to be a "legacy"; meaning one of your parents attended the renowned institution.
If one of your parents attended Harvard, you probably had plenty of resources at your command. It's regrettable that someone else who had fewer resources doesn't receive this boost.
But thus begins the story of "opportunity hoarding." As Charles Tilly coined it, opportunity hoarding occurs when "members of a categorically bounded network acquire access to a resource that is valuable, renewable, subject to monopoly, supportive of network activities and enhanced
By Anrenee Reasor
areasor@kansan.com
by the network's modus operandi,network members regularly hoard their access to the resource, creating beliefs and practices that sustain their control."
So this basically involves the "haves" keeping what they have from the "have-nots." Although elite institutions provide excellent opportunities for upward social mobility with scholarships for financially-needy students, they also continue the tradition of exclusion by giving preference to legacies in the admissions process.
What's wrong with this? Well, for more upward mobility to occur, there must be downward mobility from the top. But the people at the top hold on and avoid sliding down the clute, even when they deserve to descend. Social stratification will not even out if the affluent refuse to let their own fail. If they hold onto these prestigious internships, jobs and options, how can the lower or middle class (the categories most of us belong in) ascend? There are fewer and fewer opportunities for upward mobility when the wealthy salvage these spots for kin. Opportunity hoarding shifts social mobility for those going down and those attempting to go up.
So how are you affected? Well, maybe you missed out on a job because it was awarded to someone with a better network. Or maybe you were denied admission
to another institution because a child of a wealthy alum filled the last spot. On the other hand, it's also possible you benefited from such opportunity hoarding. Maybe you received a job because your parents knew someone. At that point, it's convenient. But under John Rawls' "veil of ignorance," you probably want to see fair policies based on merit implemented. Rich kids who don't perform as well don't deserve preferential treatment over smarter, poorer kids just because of their parents. Departing from social inequality will require society's affluent strata to stop hoarding opportunities for those who deserve to fail, and cede them to those who are deemed deserving by talent and performance.

Poor sidewalk etiquette contributes to bleak world
I there's one major complaint I have about the University of Kansas, it's the state of our sidewalks. Not our well-maintained facilities, but the inhabitants of those sidewalks. I'm talking about you
I'm talking about you.
Consider this my open letter to every pack of pedestrians shuffling along like zombies. I'm going on the record to say that if we hired a few hundred people to spank us every dozen feet or so, wed have a much more punctual student population.
There's something uniquely frustrating about being stuck in a pack of phone drones that are shuffling along listening to Wizard Khalifa or what have you. Youd think all of the hype tracks would get people to move faster than one mile per hour.
My temporary solution for keeping our walkways clear will be to tackle slow people from behind. I'm still trying to decide if I'll scream bloody murder as I take them down. I don't want to give them a chance to react before we hit the deck but I think it magnifies the impact. I'll suffer an injury or two no doubt, but I've weathered worse getting out of the bath tub.

Don't get me wrong; the problems don't stop at sluggish walkers.
People who ride their bikes on the sidewalk: What is wrong with you? There's some leeway back home where there weren't thousands of students crowding every inch of asphalt. But here, it's a different story. I've seriously considered kicking in the spokes of more than a few bicyclists trying to jerk their handlebars between arms and shoulders of the sidewalk horde.
Get back on the street and stop trying so hard to look like you got farted out of a Jack Kerouac novel.
I won't say they aren't necessary, but the maintenance workers who drive those robot war machines right up alongside the concrete? They are absolutely terrifying. I'm not asking the
University to get rid of them but at least let me fire back with a water balloon or two. It would help my peace of mind and make lawn care fun for everyone.
Despite all my gripes with daily life, I can't help but think that if I were a little bolder or even just a bit meaner that I wouldn't have these constant problems. Be it sidewalks, hand-washing or reading quietly in the library, if I had a bit more sass, I would probably be a load happier. I act all high and mighty when I'm given the podium here, but out in the real world I'm just a nervous pedestrian skittering between openings in the crowd and trying to work up the courage to shush people in Anschutz.
the problems that plague us every day can be called at worst a minor annoyance and at best the "quirks" of daily life. As big of a bummer as it is, the best I can do is whine and give offenders the stink eye. For now, I'll work on my tackling form and start installing tripwires. Stay on your toes, people.

CONNECTIONS
Friendships deserve same effort as relationships
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
This weekend, I had a much needed "girl talk" with my three best friends. We all got under the covers (wait, is that weird?] and talked about our dramatically dysfunctional lives. We, of course, laughed at our troubles instead of trying to actually fix them.
It had been a while since we had gotten together, so while I was driving back home, I began to realize that those little moments are the times that I live for. While some of you may consider that to be kind of pathetic, I feel as though I've been undeservedly blessed. I know that I feel so much better after I spend a day unproductively laughing and telling the worst jokes with my fellow comedian-wannabes.
I have come to the conclusion that a great number of girls my age, myself included, put too much effort into trying to obtain a boyfriend or keeping a hold on the one they have. However, lately I've begun to see that the most important people in my life are my friends, which some people probably look past as well. Why don't we try as hard with our friends? Why is it easier to throw them to the curb when they hurt us?
Some of my biggest regrets in life are the friendships I let fade away or those that I threw away for no reason at all. My advice is to work on every relationship in your life. Let the ones you love know that you love them, because you don't know if they'll be here tomorrow.
You should treat your friendships as carefully as you would a romantic relationship. What a lot of us forget is that friends are the constant in our lives. While

bouncing from boy-to-boy, our friends are there through it all. My best friends are the people that I always fall back on, even when that "amazing" boy wasn't so amazing after all.
In any relationship, you have to give just as much as you take, as I'm sure you've heard an obnoxious amount of times in your life. But it's truer for friendships than anything. Your friends should know that they can fall back on you, just as much as you fall back on them.
FFA OF THE DAY
I know my friends will make fun of me for everything I've written in this article because I'm never this mushy or serious. I like to laugh and I like to be goofy, because that's what life is about. That's what I look for in friendship and I think a lot of people would say the same.
The point I've been trying to make is not that you should disown your significant other (sorry if you have already sent that break-up text), but that you should make sure that your special someone can resemble someone similar to your best friend. And if you don't have a significant other, don't worry about it — you probably have amazing friends right in front of you who care about you just as much as any boyfriend or girlfriend ever would. So go have a lazy Sunday with your best friends and stuff your face, because those are the things you will miss when you're older.
I feel like my relationship with the FFA is similar to that of a girl. Once I get in, I stop trying.

Pusha T releases album 'My Name is My Name'
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
0353764401
6 02537 41101 6
In 2010 after his work with Clipse, Pusha T declared himself a solo artist and signed with Kanye West's G.O.O.D Music. Fans have been waiting for his debut album ever since. He's recorded numerous guest verses, released two mixtapes — "Fear of God" and "Wrath of Caine" — and also released an EP. "Fear of God II: Let Us Pray". Yesterday marked the release of his debut album, "My Name is My Name," and Pusha T aims to live up to the music industry's high expectations.
Pusha T begins the album with "King Push" and his very first words are "This is my time, this is my hour." Pusha T recognizes how big this moment is; after being in rap for so long, it's his time to break out. And, for the most part, he does not disappoint.
The production on the album is great, which was expected with Kanye West as the executive producer. Along with Kanye, the album also features production from Pharrell Williams, Hudson Mohawke and Swizz Beatz. Nearly every beat perfectly matches the overall mood of the album. The production features everything from triumphant horns to gentle piano and it all sounds great.
AB1SDBY
Ever since his days with Clipse, Pusha T has been regarded as one of rap's greatest emcees. He continues to prove that with this album. As usual, Pusha T proves
he's a witty lyricist with great wordplay and metaphors.
Most of what he raps about is his early days in Virginia as a cocaine dealer. One of the more clever lines on the album boast-fully states, "I sold more dope than I sold records."
The only real downfall of the album are two tracks that aren't on par with the overall tone. Those two tracks are "40 Acres" featuring The Dream and "No Regrets" featuring Kevin Cossom and leezy.
They aren't necessarily bad songs because Pusha T is incredible. The problems with both of these songs are the features. In "40 Acres," The Dream, who's
DEF JAM RECORDS
usually great, doesn't sound like himself. He sounds unexpectedly uninspired. In "No Regrets," Kevin Cossom sounds bored and dull while Jeezy and Pusha T hold their own.
Pusha T lives up to the hype with his debut album, "My Name is My Name." As an artist who keeps getting better and better, it'll be exciting to see what he does next.

EXERCISE
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Getting physically active can improve test scores
SOPHIA TEMPLIN
stemplin@kansan.com
Welcome to midterms: All-night study sessions are common, stress levels are through the roof and many students are pushing their health to the wayside. Exercising at home is one way to combat the stress of a busy schedule and impending exams.
The benefits of getting active aren't just physical. According to the article "Exercise to Manage Stress" from Fit Body Boot Camp, exercise can heighten the endorphin level, or "feel-good chemicals", in your brain. These chemicals block sensations of pain and stress, and generally work to create a sense of euphoria.
The Anxiety and Depression Association of America states that exercise improves sleep, increases confidence and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety, which can heighten during times of increased stress like midtermss and finals weeks. Furthermore, including physical activity in your study plan isn't just good for stress — it can affect your grades, too. According to the article "How Exercise Boosts Your Brain" from WebMD.com, just 20 minutes of walking before a test can improve your scores.
For some students, spending time on physical activity improves attitudes and focus.
"Working out is like an escape from reality for a few hours," said Lindsay Manning, a freshman from Woodlands, Texas. "You can forget about what's stressing you out in your life and just focus on pushing yourself and getting better."
But who has time to go to the gym during an exam week? A common misconception is that working out is difficult without equipment. However, there are many exercises that require only two things: your body and an open area. It's hard to get away from your desk (or off the couch) during midterms, but try to
drop the textbooks and get active with a couple of these moves:
Lunges
Walking and stationary lungs benefit gluteal muscles, quadriceps and hamstrings. When lunging, avoid injury by keeping your back straight, engaging your core and making sure the front knee doesn't extend past the toes. Lightly touch the back knee to the ground don't rest your weight on it, though. Too easy? Add weights by holding dumbbells (or textbooks) in each hand.
Snuats
Other exercises for the lower body are squats and wall sits. Like lunges, squats target glutes, quadriceps and hip abductors, and don't require equipment. Focus on keeping the chest from collapsing forward. Forming a 90 degree angle with your knees. Wall sits are also good for your legs — you can easily wall sit while reviewing notes.
Push ups
Want Marine arms? Try push ups — they benefit the upper body by working chest, abdominal and arm muscles. Place hands directly under your shoulders for a traditional push up. To mix it up, try a diamond push up, which stresses the triceps. For this move, put your hands together directly underneath the sternum. A staggered push up is another challenging version, where one hand is placed under the shoulder and the other is placed six inches further forward.
Planks and pilates
Planks are great core workouts, which also need no equipment. Standard planks work upper and lower abs and side planks target obliques, but planking is the obvious choice for those who want to tighten their core. Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on the development of balance, strength
and flexibility, so it includes a lot of core work. Easy Pilates exercises that can be done from home include hundreds, roll ups and criss crosses.
For hundreds, extend the legs into a "V" position at approximately a 45 degree angle with the shoulders off the ground. Hold this position, focusing on the core, while pumping arms up and down. Roll ups are done by curling the chin towards the chest and rolling the body up into a sitting position with the arms extended toward the feet. Bicycling the feet and touching the correlating elbow to the opposite knee are criss crosses.
Cardio
Cardio is also important to complete your workout. While strength exercises build muscle, cardio keeps a body trim. It can also "ratchet up your smarts, boost your productivity [and] rev your energy," according to "How Exercise Boosts Your Brainpower" from Active.com. That boost is just what a college student needs before midterms.
Walking, jogging and running are obvious choices for non-equipment cardio, but students can also take advantage of the machines at the Ambler Student Recreation and Fitness Center on campus - try the stair climber, stationary bike or elliptical. Aim for at least 20 to 30 minutes of high intensity cardio.
By including bouts of physical activity during study sessions, students can break a sweat and possibly receive better grades on those dreaded exams. The next time you take a break from the textbooks, pick some of these exercises and try a 15-minute circuit. The benefits of working out may help in the classroom more than you think.

In order to avoid unhealthy eating habits during late-night study sessions, students should prepare healthy alternatives like nuts and berries. Nutritional choices help eliminate junk-food binges.
Quick tips for healthy snacks during midterms
CASSIDY RITTER critter@kansan.com
Think healthy and simple. Try bringing a bowl of nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts and cashews, etc.) or a bowl of cherries and berries to the library. Nuts are a great source of magnesium, which converts sugar into energy. Cherries and berries are high in antioxidants and "can help improve your moods and cognitive function, important factors for optimum energy," according to Livstrong.com.
nat I can eat a lot of that help pass the time while I'm studying," said Cristina Sharp, sophomore from Colorado. "I usually eat pistachios or cherries to stay awake."
"Late at night I'm not really hungry, so I try to find little things
Peanut butter and an apple are easy snacks to bring to the library. Peanut butter comes in to-go packages and an apple usually won't bruise in a backpack. As far as energy, peanut butter contains healthy fats and protein, providing plenty of calories for an energy boost. Apples have vitamin B-1, which helps turn food into energy.

LOCAL MUSIC
Wells the Traveler writes. performs original repertoire
KELSEY BARRETT
kbarrett@kansan.com
Wells the Traveler brings an indie-rock sound with the soul of American folk to the local music scene. The five-member band, which began playing together nine months ago, has performed about 50 shows and produced a record with 14 original tracks.
Lead singer Danny McGaw came to the United States from Manchester, England, after ending his professional career as a soccer player at age 18. Music came as a natural fit for McGaw, who started
writing songs when he was 12. He now works as a full-time musician, performing three times a week and singing original songs.
"The band comes with me when they can and when the budget allows," McGaw said. "We probably play two or three shows a month where we actually promote and try to fill the room with people who are not just there to have dinner and drink alcohol."
McGaw has performed with different bands, but he feels a deep connection to the members of Wells the Traveler. They work closely together, but also know
each other on a personal level.

on what the music is doing," Jones said. "It's the classic example of a really solid backup plan. I do enjoy both, it's not like I'm just going through the
motions of the school side. I'm a
musician first so I would like that to happen but I also love to teach."
Weekly rehearsals, several shows a month, promoting the band's music and pursuing an education full-time are all part of Jones' jampacked schedule. He said he appreciates his support system, which helps him stay focused
"There's only so much time. It's an ebb and flow, and the people around me understand that I may have music commitments that run straight into school commitments and that's the entire day and I don't talk or see anybody else," Jones said. "It's part of who I am and they
understand that and love and support me for doing the things I love to do."
Their next record of new, original songs is under way, as well as a scheduled tour over winter break. They have two shows lined up in Kansas City this month and will return to Lawrence for a performance at the Bottleneck Saturday, Nov. 16.
"We're still a pretty young band so we're catching up," Jones said. "Just keep an eye out."

that has a good base in that city because they really help us with volunteers and promotions as well," said Caitlin Patrick, event director for the Glow Run 5k. For Lawrence, the Glow Run is partnering with The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation.
While these commercial races offer many entertaining opportunities to participants, they also have the potential to gain a huge bottom line. The Alaska Dispatch last year reported that The Color Run made upwards of $750,000 from registration alone.
Besides providing opportunities for racers to run and organizations to obtain profits, these races also offer health benefits.
According to the Peer Health Educators, a volunteer student group that provides health education, and Active.com, running has many benefits such as reducing stress and depression.
It's for those reasons, along with a feeling of accomplishment, that Schneider enjoys the sport and continues making race-oriented goals. "I ran my first half-marathon this past summer and running a marathon is definitely on my bucket list," Schneider said.

out the city. The Lawrence Police Department has a group of officers who begin routine checks for alcohol violations near popular drinking areas when school begins. They do these checks on what Sgt. Trent McKinley refers to as "peak times," which are typically Wednesday through Saturday nights.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"The officers go out and target certain types of behaviors," McKinley said. "They're looking for things like people being aggressive with their behavior at bars and people who are openly and excessively intoxicated, like a person who can't seem to walk down the sidewalk without falling down."
The LPD also works in conjunction with Alcoholic Beverage Control and Lawrence businesses who provide alcohol. For the past seven years, they've given training and provided information to servers regarding fake IDs, bar checks and the consequences for both underage drinkers and the employee who provides the alcohol.
"We have a very good relationship with the ABC," said Matt Easley, manager of liquor store On the Rocks. "There are certain times when they will come in with local law enforcement and hang out in the store and check IDs themselves, and I've seen them checking the IDs of people in the parking lot, too."
In addition to help from local law enforcement, Easley said businesses use other strategies to scope out fake IDs as well, including having a binder with pictures of all U.S. IDs on hand, and using a black light and scanners to verify them.
Even with all these preventative measures in place, Easley said underage students continue to try to purchase alcohol illegally.
"There's not a single weekend that goes by that we don't have somebody coming in here, trying to use a fake ID and getting turned away. It always happens," Easley said.

through the course, students are able to determine what career path is best for them and whether that includes working abroad.
"It's not for everybody," Hamel said. "I think some students think it sounds really exciting to work abroad, but we try to stress that it's very different from going for a week or two as a tourist."
Bret Koch, a junior from Tonganoxie, participated in the course last spring. He said he found that although the class had discussions about being able to go abroad and become comfortable in a different setting, he had trouble actually visualizing what it would be like.
He adds that his short stay in London over spring break provided just a glimpse into what his life would be like if he were to work abroad.
"I don't think I got a well-rounded idea of what it's like to have an international career because I
wasn't there long enough" Koch said.
However, Koch said he felt more prepared about entering the international job market from the skills he learned from the course, including how to build an international resume, connect with international companies and begin identifying possible positions and the steps necessary to become a competitive applicant.
Whether a student seeks to start their international career by going to another country or by working with a global company in the United States, Gaston said they need to have the initiative, persistence and self-confidence necessary to get to where they want.
"It's not easy, especially as a young recent graduate," Gaston said. "You have to have the courage to go out and do something that you might not be comfortable with."

TOPEKA — Several Kansas Supreme Court justices said Tuesday that the state has broken its funding promises to public schools, but they acknowledged that the current funding guidelines might not be feasible for the state, long-term.
At issue is whether the Supreme Court will uphold a lower-court's January ruling ordering the state to increase school funding by at least $440 million a year. The justices are considering a lawsuit filed in 2010 by attorneys for students and several school districts, including Dodge City, Hutchinson, Kansas City and Wichita.
They contend that the state has failed to comply with a 2006 Supreme Court order to increase funding, violating a provision of the Kansas Constitution requiring the Legislature to make "suitable provision" for financing public schools. The court has previously ruled that the state is required to give schools enough money to provide every child with a suitable education.
Justice Dan Biles, who represented the State Board of Education before his appointment to the court, said legislators have described education as the state's top priority.
Justices Eric Rosen and Lee Johnson said the court signed off on the 2006 law — and ended the previous lawsuit — based on promises that funding would increase.
"Why don't we just hold the Legislature to what they said?" Biles said.
Steven McAllister, State Solicitor General, argued that legislators have latitude under the Kansas Constitution over spending decisions, though they did the best they could during and after the Great Recession, including using federal stimulus dollars given to states to blunt the financial impact.
But in a ruling issued in January, a three-judge panel in Shawnee County District Court noted that
as the state's economy improved, the Republican-controlled Legislature approved massive personal income tax cuts. Gov. Sam Brownback pushed for the tax reductions to stimulate the economy, but critics have said theyll starve state government of funds.
"They took all the resources out of the system and then stand here and plead that they can't afford to increase funding to schools," said Alan Rupe, a Wichita attorney representing the students and school districts. "That's the problem that we're dealing with here."
anticipated by early January 2014. McAllister argued that the Supreme Court would be overstepping its constitutional authority to step in again and tell lawmakers how much must be spent on public schools. And, he argued, such increases in funding aren't sustainable.
Kansas Supreme Court Justice Eric Rosen asked the plaintiff's attorney when, if ever, the state's 40-year cycle of school funding lawsuits would end especially with ever-changing demands on schools to meet new education standards, from the federal No Child Left Behind Act to new Common Core standards adopted by the state in 2010.
"The Legislature has to deal with the real world," McAllister said. "The constitution shouldn't be a suicide pact."
"Is there an end in sight?" Rosen said.
Recycle this paper
However, Rupe conceded after the hearing that the justices could reverse the lower court's ruling and send it back for retrial to compel the plaintiffs to prove individual students were harmed by the funding decisions.
Biles also questioned whether there was enough evidence about how individual students were harmed specifically. Rupe said Kansas courts haven't required such detailed evidenced in the past.

Football Notebook
Weis talks depth chart, offensive line for TCU game
JOEY ANGUIANO
janguiano@kansan.com
At Tuesday's press conference, Kansas football coach Charlie Weis focused on the depth chart. He addressed issues with the running game, the offensive line and, of course, what he thinks about the team's upcoming foe, the TCU Horned Frogs.
Facing TCU
Weis said the Horned Frogs have one of the best defenses that his Kansas squad will face all season. What makes the TCU defense so good? The team is known for its physical play. TCU doesn't make a
lot of mistakes and it never tries to win with schemes and confusion
it simply overpowers its opponents. Weis also talked about his plan for attacking TCU's defense, saying that Kansas was going to look to throw a few long balls, but they will make sure not to get caught up chasing the home runs. Additionally, he said that the mental errors the offensive line made last Saturday against Texas Tech would hopefully be taken care of.
Line struggles
The offensive line was the second most stressed issue at the press
conference because of a shake up in who is playing where. While the line is made up of the same members, they have once again been switched around in search of a winning combination — kind of like a game of musical chairs. The guards stayed the same, but junior Pat Lewandowski, who was at center, is now playing left tackle. Lewandowski played at left tackle for the majority of the spring practice session with success, so Weis is hoping to replicate those results.
Since Lewandowski shifted to left tackle, former left tackle senior Aslam Sterling slid over to right tackle. Filling Lewandowski's void
left at center is senior Gavin Howard. Weis talked about how the center position has been "holding us hostage" this season, and that it's one of the hardest positions to play on the field because you have to focus on not only snapping the ball, but getting ready to block someone the second you snap the ball. It's hard to focus on both the exchange and the block at the same time, which has led to a few exchanges that Weis said "looked like me snapping, and I was never very good."
Back to the ground Weis hopes that the changes on
the offensive line will jump-start the lackluster running game that just lost a big piece in Tony Pierson. Brandon Bourbon will jump right into the role that was vacated when Pierson went down with a concussion against Texas Tech. The good news is that Weis is very confident Pierson will return to the backfield before the end of the season, but the team will make sure to err on the side of caution. Weis also said that Bourbon is up to the challenge of carrying a bigger load, especially with the help of James Sims and the rest of the running back core.
Next chance
Overall, it seemed that coach Weis couldn't stress enough that the first quarter of the Texas Tech game should offer a little bit of hope. Weis said he'd be more worried if the first quarter hadn't happened the way it did, if Kansas came out and was dominated the entire game. He said the players are ready to get out there and hopefully prove that they can play with — and win against — high caliber teams.

Tigers rally past A's 8-6 to force Game 5 in American League

AL division series.
DETROIT — Max Scherzer escaped a major jam in relief and the Detroit Tigers — helped by two fans who reached out to try to reel in Victor Martinez's disputed home run — rallied past the Oakland Athletics 8-6 on Tuesday to force a decisive fifth game in their
Playing catch-up most of the way, the Tigers tied it first with Jhonny Peralta's three-run homer in the fifth inning and then on Martinez's solo shot in the seventh. A couple of fans attempted to catch Martinez's drive and at least one of them bobbled the ball as he reached over
the railing above the wall — preventing right fielder Josh Reddick from having any chance at a leaping grab. The umpires upheld the home run after a replay review.
Scnerzer, making his first relief appearance since the 2011 post-season, had already given up a run in the seventh. With the Tigers

Detroit, which had no hits through the first four innings, added three runs in the eighth on a wild pitch and a two-run double by Omar Infante that made it 8-4.

THE MORNING BREW Breaking down the Royals' future by the numbers
Numbers are becoming law in sports. Major League Baseball is the most statistically wealthy league and the math gurus are beginning to capitalize on the online revolution of databases filled with baseball statistics, which makes information easier to find. This opens the door for the most advanced analysis and comparison — and through this door comes the rising fundamental in sports studies.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
Michael Lewis' "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game" follows the experience of the Oakland A's and the team's use of advanced statistical analysis to produce a more competitive baseball team, despite an inferior revenue stream.
Numbers never lie.
The Kansas City Royals can draw comparisons to the story of the Oakland As. They reside in a small market and have a much more limited payroll than many of their competitors. The Royals were fourth in their division in opening day payroll in 2013. Kansas City, like Oakland, is trying to buck that trend. However, there is an even closer model for the Royals to follow. It's 10 years old and from inside their own division.
Let the earlier similar comparison between the Royals of 2005-2016 and the Minnesota Twins of 1993-2004 begin.
From 1993 to 2000, the Minnesota Twins were an awful franchise. The team averaged just 66 wins per year. They also finished no
Beginning in the 1995 season, Terry Ryan became the general manager of the Twins. After six years of bad baseball, the Twins went 85-77 and finished six games behind the division winner in 2001 — Ryan's seventh year.
This is the bridge that the Royals have not crossed yet: the years of 2014, 2015 and 2016. If the team follows the model they have so perfectly traced so far, an average of 92 wins over the next season will surely get them to the top of the division. Right?
In 2013, the Royals were in postseason contention through the final week of the 162-game season. With a 6-0 loss to Seattle on Sept. 28, they were finally mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. The team did this on the backs of a strong September push, but a horrid May likely cost the Royals a better shot.
Here's a look at the Royals' records, win percentage and projected 162-game win total by month:
better than fourth in their division. From 2005 to 2012, the Royals were an equally miserable franchise. Likewise, they finished no better than fourth in any season and averaged a nearly identical 67 wins per season.
Similarly, Dayton Moore has now just finished his seventh year with the Royals. In his first six years as general manager, Moore's teams have left critics calling for his head. Moore continued to preach "The Process," one that he often related to that of these same Minnesota Twins. This season, the Royals won 86 games and finished seven games behind the division winning Detroit Tigers — nearly the exact track of the Twins a decade earlier.
Royals veers into the charted waters of the Twins. In the three seasons following Ryan's seventh year with 85 wins, the Twins won three consecutive American League Central titles and averaged 92 wins a season.
Over the past 11 seasons, the winners of the Central division have averaged 92.64 wins per season. Posting 92 wins would have won the division just five of the 11 years. There is no guarantee as to how the rest of the division performs to help determine the Royals' fate. However, the addition of the second wild-card slot does improve overall playoff chances.

When put into numerical form, the Royals performance in May was a clear outlier. Altogether, of course, it tallies 86 wins. But if the Royals could have removed May from the equation — and this isn't entirely fair
— they would project to win 94.8 games. Mathematically, this would launch them to top the yearly average of the division winner and they would have accomplished that very goal this year.
The Kansas City Royals are at the pivotal turning point on a beaten path: a trail the Minnesota Twins took to three consecutive division crowns. The numbers are there and are too similar to ignore between the two case studies. Now, the Royals just have to navigate the charted waters.
All that's left to do is play ball.

Big 12 assist leader McNorton faces Oklahoma
After the win over Baylor on Saturday, Oct. 5, the Jayhawks (13-3) will try to continue their nine-game winning streak and undefeated conference season tonight against Oklahoma (14-3) at the Horeisi Family Athletic Center.
Senior setter Erin McNorton had an impressive performance with 53 assists against the Baylor Bears. The Jayhawks beat the Bears 25-16, 23-25, 25-22, 25-17 to stay perfect in the Big 12.
McNorton, who is part of the 2013 preseason All-Big 12 team, has been the Jayhawks' setter for
two successful seasons now.
The Jayhawks run a 5-1 offense, which means the offense runs around one setter on the floor, compared to a 6-2 offense, which is an offense with two setters. With this in mind, it's impressive how much pressure and influence McNorton holds in the Jayhawk offense as the only setter on the floor. McNorton touches the ball at every point during the game. McNorton is a huge part of the Jayhawks 5-1 offense, which leads the Big 12 with an average of 13.48 assists per game. When McNorton performs well, the Jayhawk offense performs well.
Early this season, McNorton
had a 63-assist game against Bowling Green University. Her performance was her second highest number of assists in one match. Last season, McNorton had her career high in total assists per game: an impressive 67-assist game against Creighton University in five sets.
The layhawks undefeated conference season is because of McNorton's sets. She leads the Big 12 with 760 assists for an average of 12.26 per game. McNorton's number is 223 higher than Iowa State's Jenelle Hudson, who is second in the Big 12 with 537 assists.
Last night McNorton averaged 11 assists per game, though she's
shown improvement with an average of one more assist per game this season. With 14 games left in the season, McNorton is looking to surpass her total of 1,443 assists last season and she's more than halfway there.
hawkeye there.
McNorton will try to add to her total tonight against Oklahoma, which ranks No. 8 in the Big 12 for assists allowed. Oklahoma has allowed 774 assists this season.
Last season, the Oklahoma Sooners were 10-7 in Big 12 play and lost both matches against Kansas.
The Jayhawks swept the Sooners in Lawrence last season and setter McNorton had 49 assists. McNorton had a total of 103 assists.
against Oklahoma last season.
After being swept by Texas, the Sooners beat Iowa State on Saturday for their first Big 12 win of the season. Oklahoma is still looking for its first road Big 12 victory and will try to get it from Kansas, who hasn't lost a Big 12 game at home this season.
Entering tonight's game, the Jayhawks lead the Big 12 conference in hitting percentage, kills, blocks and assists. But, the Jayhawks leading hitter, senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, has been in a slump during Big 12 play. Jarmoc has 23 kills on 58 attempts this season in the Big 12. She has 69 kills on 135 attempts in
non-conference games. During the last two games Jarmoc has had just 13 kills, which is the lowest kill total in a two-game span this season. Jarmoc is looking to bounce back from a slow start to conference play against Oklahoma, which is ranked No. 7 in Big 12 for kills allowed.
The Jayhawks will hope to continue their hot start in the Big 12 tonight at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center at 6:30 p.m.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY GANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY Support grows for players' rights
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
kansan.com
Charlie Weis can plead ignorance, but the All Players United movement is alive inside his locker room.
On Saturday, Kansas team captain and defensive lineman Keon Stowers had the letters "APU" written on his equipment. Good for Stowers, he's standing up for what he believes in.
At the same time, the APU movement is a very small, seemingly unorganized step for college football players and athletes trying to protect their own rights. It's still a step, notetheless.
At the moment, it's a small ripple in the tide to change college athletics. Football players around the country have put the letters on their gear during games. If you blink, you might miss it. If you look closely, the message is there.
Some players want change. They want protection. And they feel they're being used. It's an ongoing debate and hot topic that stayed away from Lawrence until Saturday, Kansas captain Keon Stowers, along with Austin Barone, a redshirt freshman kicker, both wore the letters: APU.
After the game, Weis was asked about APU, and he said he didn't know what it was. On Tuesday, once again, an APU question was asked. Weis once again said he doesn't know what it is and that he hasn't seen any evidence of his players taking part in it.
"I'd have to know what it is, who's doing it, for me to even make a comment," Weis said. "I'd have to call ignorance on that one, because I really don't know"
Stowers spoke openly to the Kansan about his participation in the movement and Barone tweeted a picture with the three letters written on his arm tape. The evidence is most certainly there.
The National College Players Association is the facilitator of the movement. The NCPA is a nonprofit advocacy group for college athletes. On its website, ncpanow.org, 11 goals are listed along with its mission: "To provide the means for college athletes to voice their concerns and change NCAA rules."
The goals listed, including minimizing brain trauma risks and a higher scholarship amount, cover a wide range of topics — and that's part of the problem. The APU movement needs a specific goal and plan to rally around.
Most importantly, it needs a polarizing figure at its center to help spread its message. A group of irritated college students writing letters on their wrists won't accomplish anything. A group with a leader, a prominent figure in college football, will be able to get its message across much more efficiently. Could a guy like Johnny Football be that figure? Possibly. But a more stable, levelheaded figure could do wonders for a movement with good intentions.
For now, the movement has spread, even to Lawrence, and that's a start.

DEPTH CHART
Charlie Weis responds to the loss against Texas Tech on Saturday by rearranging player positions and evaluating the depth chart for future improvements
IMAX GOODWIN
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
After Saturday's 54-16 loss to Texas Tech, Charlie Weis decided he needed to change his depth chart once again, along with his schemes, in order to simplify things on the field for his players.
"We have an obligation as coaches, especially me, to explore every alternative we can to make things better," Weis said.
Weis said he watched the loss to Texas Tech early Sunday morning and at night as he sat in his office.
"Unlike you guys, when you go to bed at night," Weis said in his weekly press conference, "I'm sitting in the office trying to figure out how am I going to fix these problems."
Just as he romised Monday in
his teleconference with the Big 12 media, Weis made considerable changes to the offensive depth chart. In his career of more than two decades, between the college and professional level, Weis has never made this many changes to a depth chart so early in a season.
"This is a large volume of changes." Weis said. "But really, we only have so many alternatives."
Center is the position that Weis said the team has been "held hostage" by.
There were obvious problems with the center-quarterback exchanges in the spring, so Weis moved left tackle Pat Lewandowski to center. Aslam Sterling was moved from right tackle to left
tackle.
Lewandowski had no experience snapping the ball before he began training as the center in the
"We have an obligation as coaches, especially me, to explore every alternative."
CHARLIE WEIS
Coach
"Intelligence is not the issue," Weis said. "The issue is as soon
offseason. Before long, Dylan Admire was given the position again. Admire struggled to cleanly snap the ball to the quarterback and handle blocking duties.
as you snap the ball, you've got a guy, 300-plus pounds, ready to hit you in the mouth. That's the issue. No other position do you have to do that, there's only one, center." Gavin Howard was announced as the new starting center Tuesday. Lewandowski is back at left tackle and Sterling is over on the right side again.
Weis called the running game a disappointment, but said it wasn't
simply the fault of the linemen.
The issues on the offensive line are part of the reason that the jayhawks have not had a solid foundation in the running game — something Weis expected going into the season.
"We're at the point now, we're not just going to start throwing names in a hat and pick out five and that's where we go." Weis said.
James Sims has not had the type of senior season that was anticipated, Against Texas Tech. Sims ran for nine carries and just 28 yards — the fewest in a game since his freshman year.
Weis said that with eight games left on the schedule, he thinks Sims has a lot of time left to grow with the offensive unit around him, but first that line has to solidify.
"I think James is going to have plenty of time to grow along with this group and see if we can't get things improved," Weis said. "If we don't, it's not going to be pretty around here."

Highly lauded recruit Oubre to don a Jayhawk jersey
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Andrew Wiggins has yet to play a regulation game for the Kansas Jayhawks, but Bill Self has already completed the search for his replacement.
Five-star ranked shooting guard Kelly Oubre of Findlay Prep committed to the Jayhawks just days after visiting Lawrence for Late Night in the Phog. Oubre announced his decision on Twitter following reports that he had cancelled his visit to Kentucky.
ESPN's national college basketball reporter, Jason King, said should Wiggins make his likely leap to the NBA at the conclusion of this season. Oubre will be his successor.
Rivals.com lists Oubre as the 12th best player in the class of 2014. The 6-foot-5-inch, 200-pound wing chose Kansas over offers from Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Louisville, Oklahoma State, Texas and Kentucky.
"We know Wiggins is going to be gone," King said. "It sounds like [Self] went out and got the best player he could get."
Oubre is the first commit Self
has received for 2014. His early decision to join the Jayhawks can pay even greater dividends with Kansas still in play for other top ten recruits such as Myles Turner, Tyus Jones, Cliff Alexander and Jahil Okafer.
"Oubre committing to Kansas is just going to make other guys more interested." King said. "Hopefully he has an influence on these other guys. He may be able to swing a couple other recruits who may be on the fence."
King says the biggest factor in Outre's decision is Andrew Wiggins' presence within the program. For a period of time Self was known as a great recruiter, but lacked the status of coaching one-and-done guys like John Calipari at Kentucky.
The idea of Wiggins draped in crimson and blue for at least the next few months seems to be rapidly changing that perception.
"For so long, Self had a reputation for being a guy that wasn't great with one-and-done players," King said. "Kentucky was kind of the school for that. With Wiggins signing with Kansas we may only get to see him for one year, but the benefits of him being in this

When Kansas lost assistant coaches Danny Manning and Joe Dooley, Self chose to replace them with highly touted recruiters Norm Roberts and Jerrance Howard.
program are going to be felt for a long time."
"They're probably two of the top five in the nation," King said of Roberts and Howard. "You don't want to say anything negative about the recruiting of Joe Dooley or Danny Manning because they won a national title but I certainly think you're seeing Kansas win a few more of the Kentucky battles than we've seen in recent years."
the other part of the equation is a little more subtle.
With the top players remaining in the 2014 class, King says it's vital for Self to go after high-level point guard Tus Jones.
Kansas hasn't had great stability at the point position since the graduation of Sherron Collins in 2010.
"If they were able to go out and get Tyus Jones," King said. "That'd certainly be the cherry on top."

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE GOVERNMENT?
A TIMELINE OF EVENTS ASSOCIATED PRESS
The battle in Congress tying the Affordable Care Act to the re-opening of the federal government winds down a dizzying path of procedure and protocol within the House of Representatives and Senate. Although this impasse is born of a long-held polarization in Congress, the short-term maneuvering is anything but simple.

With a potential government shutdown 11 days off, the Republican-run House ignores a White House veto threat and approves legislation denying money for much of President Barack Obama's health care law while keeping the government open through Dec. 15.

The House shifts its demands for restricting the health care law. It votes to delay implementation of the health care overhaul by a year and to repeal a tax on many medical devices that helps pay for the law. Separately, the House votes to pay active duty troops, and some Defense Department civilian workers and defense contractors, in case of a shutdown.

Student callers help secure Endowment funds
LASHLEIGH TIDWELL
atidwell@kansan.com
This year KU Endowment provided nearly $120 million in funding for the University.
This funding provided scholarships to more than 6,000 students, which totaled an estimated $29.5 million.
It is easy to see that the thousands of donors who contribute nearly 60 percent of the University's funding each year are the true heroes of the University, but what you can't see is the people behind the scenes who garner these donations every day. In the basement of the Endowment building, between 5 and 9 p.m., 24 student callers sit in lines at computers making the important calls that bring in between $6,000 and $12,000 every night. It's a relaxed scene; there are games, snacks, Snuggies and coloring books, but everyone is hard at work making about 250 calls in just four hours.
"We try to keep it light and fun" said Ethan Rempel, the call center coordinator. "If they're having fun while they're here we get a lot more done and it keeps the spirit up."
Bempel said it can be intimidating to call a complete stranger and ask for money, which is why he wants to keep the callers comfortable and engaged. According to Bempel, having relaxed callers helps to foster better conversations with donors, which is helpful for both students and alumni.

the Endowment supplies funding for building projects across campus. Currently, Endowment is helping to provide 200 trees for the construction project on Jayhawk Boulevard.

For Hall, directly raising money for the University has been a rewarding opportunity.
"As a student that has received a scholarship from the University, knowing that I am giving other students that opportunity is really awesome," Hall said. "It makes the job worth it."
Though the student callers aren't the sole reason for the Endowment's success, they play a major role in their efforts. In 2013 the call center raised $1.2 million with donations that were mostly made in increments between $10 and $150.
Rempel attributes all the success from the call center to the students who work there.
"It helps immensely that we have an engaged group of alumni and a passionate group of student fundraisers to reach out to them," Rempel said. "Their hard work and dedication to building relationships with our alumni are the foundation for all the success our campaign enjoys."

Warm weather increases risk of West Nile Virus
With fall weather slow to arrive in Kansas, the threat of West Nile Virus continues past its usual June through September season.
According to the CDC, West Nile Virus is a virus spread most commonly through infected mosquitoes. Anyone who is bitten by an infected mosquito risks contracting the virus.
This year, 23 cases of West Nile Virus have been reported in Kansas, including two deaths. No cases have been reported in Douglas County yet, but the Kansas Department of Health and Environment still warns people to be cautious.
"Cases are on the rise in Kansas. We want to bring this to everyone's attention as we expect an increase in this disease before winter is here, and we strongly encourage the use of methods that prevent mosquito bites," Robert Moser, M.D., KDHE Secretary and State Health Officer said in a press release.
Some prevention methods include wearing bug spray on skin and clothes, especially in the morning and evening when there are more
mosquitoes out. Students should also check that window and door screens are secure to prevent the bugs from getting indoors. Most people show no symptoms, but in some cases the virus can be fatal. Symptoms usually begin to show up 2 to 6 days after being bitten.
For more information on the virus and the best types of bug spray to use visit: cdc.westnile

Student Senate approves accessible entrance
Student Senate approved a resolution to ask University administration to add an accessible entrance to Strong Hall at its meeting last night.
Authorized by Erin Howard, AbleHawks and Allies senator, and Drew Harger, assistant treasurer, the resolution passed with a vote of 55 in favor with one abstention. It was amended to state

One of the more heated debates was over a bill that would no longer require the executive secretary to make three scrapbooks archiving the full year of the Senate. Tyler Childress, chief of staff, said a scrapbook was not made for the previous year, nor had one been started this year. The bill failed with a vote of 39-22-0.
The Senate also passed a resolution asking the University administration to switch over to double-sided printing campus wide with a vote of 40-16-2. It also asks that should some printing costs be deferred with this change, those savings be passed along to students. Harger said he did not think the resolution was ready to be passed on to the administration and that more research needs to be done before deciding.

Volunteers gain experience through program
YU KYUNG LEE
ylee@kansan.com
Shelving creepy baby dolls and wiping down tables may not be what students envision as the typical "honors experience."
But for sophomore Sophia Mazzetti from Kansas City, Kan., that was exactly what she found herself doing with her honors seminar. They were volunteering for the Rose Brooks Center, a domestic violence shelter in Kansas City, Mo., through the Alternative Breaks weekend program.
It's part of the University's Honors Program requirement. All first-year honors students have to complete a couple of hours of volunteering during their first semester, either
individually or with their seminar group.
"The idea is that freshmen don't necessarily know about the Alternative Breaks or any other volunteer activities around campus or Lawrence," said Anne Dotter, associate director of curricular, co-curricular and engaged learning in the Honors Program. "We want to introduce them to these opportunities."
in Lawrence, three of her students applied to go on a winter Alternative Break.
The seminar volunteering experiences are set up by the student seminar assistants. Senior honors seminar assistant Alyssa Ong, from Malaysia, takes the opportunity to introduce her first-year students to fun and new experiences. After she took her students to the Festival of Cultures, which celebrates diversity
"It shows that they are really interested," Ong said. "They are open to new experiences and they are really going for it."
It also helps the Honors Program make the campus a bit smaller and friendlier.
"When you have this small 12-person class and you go to volunteer with them, you come back knowing them a lot better," Ong said. "You bond and you will end up with friends who will support you regardless of your journey at KU."
During the hour-long drive to and from volunteering and the time spent at the shelter, Mazzetti found
out more about her classmates than she had in the past seven weeks in class.
"As we were washing the tables, we really got to chat about what majors we were, because we didn't even know that sort of information about each other and why we were interested in what we were interested in." Mazzetti said.
us and helping us step in the right direction"
Ultimately, the goal of the program is to make volunteering a habit for honors students.
While most students in the Honors Program have previous volunteer experiences, they need a reminder to start getting involved again on campus.
"If the trip wasn't planned, I don't think many of us would have gone on a lot of these volunteer experiences," said freshman honors student Nguyen, from Overland Park. "They are good at preparing
After a volunteer service with her honors seminar, Nguyen took the initiative to find other volunteer opportunities, such as the Center for Community Outreach.
"We want our students to be leaders in the community, so we do want a majority of them to take the initiative to volunteer," Dotter said. "What we are doing is starting to define our honors students as future active leaders, good citizens."

Departmental changes offer hybrid classes, extra track
CAMPUS
TIM DODDERIDGE
tdodderidge@kansan.com
The Humanities and Western Civilization department has created hybrid classes and updated classes' curricula to keep the department relevant under the KU Core.
Last week, the department won the Christopher H. Haufler KU Innovation Award for its work in adapting the curriculum.
"We were thrilled to learn that our efforts of the past several years were being so recognized," said Sandra Zimdars-Swartz, professor and director of Humanities and Western Civilization.
The award, which recognizes creative approaches to the new University-wide Core curriculum, comes with $5,000 to be used to enhance Core offerings.
The new curriculum aims to meet specific goals and learning outcomes under those goals.
"The idea is that by fulfilling a series of courses, we're fulfilling a series of goals," said Ann Cudd, vice
provost and dean for Undergraduate Studies.
One of the biggest updates to the curriculum is to allow for the Western Civilization sequence to be taken earlier. Prior to the Core, some students didn't take Western Civilization until their senior year.
"Our redesigned sequence is freshman-friendly and open to incoming students." Cudd said.
The program also added an extra track to the Humanities major. Now, in addition to World Literature and Civilizations In a Global Context, students can take the Peace and Conflict Studies route. Also, new introductory courses Introduction to Humanities and Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies were added, with some current classes being redesigned to emphasize the Core's learning outcomes.
"They've adapted some great classes to the Core learning outcomes so they can continue to teach these really interesting, intellectual courses and allow students to fulfill the KU Core through them," Cudd said.
The changes to Humanities and Western Civilization under the KU Core curriculum have also stressed the importance of the subjects being taught as well. According to Zimdars-Swartz, Humanities and Western Civilization classes provide foundation for various careers, from retail to education to medicine.
"We recognize that to function in an increasingly complex world, students need to be able to move comfortably among disciplines and their distinct approaches to the variety of human experiences and human conditions," she said.
Dustin Wolfe, junior from Sealy, Texas, also recognizes the importance of the program and its value to students.
"Western Civilization is important because it teaches you how you think," he said. "Without any of the authors and thinkers you learn about, you aren't able to understand that."

Jenkins takes heat in shutdown negotiations
TOPEKA — Democrats and liberal activists in Kansas are criticizing Republican Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins over the federal government's partial shutdown.
But Jenkins and other members of the state's all-GOP congressional delegation said Wednesday they're looking for President Barack Obama and fellow Democrats to negotiate on budget issues.
They also said they won't support increasing the federal debt ceiling
without reductions in federal spending.
Two dozen activists rallied outside Jenkins' office in Topeka, demanding she work for a House vote on budget and debt ceiling legislation without conditions. Jenkins represents the 2nd District of eastern Kansas but is a member of the House GOP leadership team. She said she's working to resolve financial issues in Washington. The Kansas delegation has voted for multiple measures to fund individual programs.

'Affordable Ticket Act' keeps music alive in hard times
How much are tickets? This is usually the first question my friends will ask before they allow me to drag them to see a band they've never heard of before. Ticket prices often do raise some concern, especially if you happen to fall victim to the "broke college student" stereotype. After all, we have cover fees and alcohol to keep in mind.
As consumers, it's natural to be cautious about what we spend our money on. But as of late, artists are growing concerned with what we spend our money on too, in fear that it might not be on them. When word about the government shutdown spread, the music industry faced two options: dig themselves in an even deeper financial hole, or do something about it. Luckily for us music fans,
they chose the latter.
"9:30 Club," a-state-of-the-art concert venue and local promoter in Washington, D.C., came up with the concept of offering an "Affordable Ticket Act," a spin-off of the formal name for Obamacare. The premise is far less complicated than trying to register for health care, that's for sure. With the Affordable Ticket Act, tickets for nine upcoming October shows were sold as buy one get one free. The only requirements were that a promo code provided by 9:30 Club be used to access the offer, and that all tickets he purchased by a given deadline.
the purchase by young
The nine acts were not just limited to 9:30 Club's shows, but to various venues with performers such as: The Flaming Lips with Tame Impala, Steve Aoki with Parrill Williams, Marky Ramone

(of The Ramones), Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Fountains of Wayne, and BOY, among others. Aside from offering basic facts about what the Affordable Ticket Act entails, I have to say I'm rather surprised that there hasn't been more commentary or press regarding the idea. When I first heard about it, I personally felt as though it was the greatest thing to come along since the Keurig. I believe that the Affordable
Ticket Act has such strong potential because it stems from the already successful medium of live performance. Artists have continually struggled to make a decent profit from their music since digitalization took over, and live performance has grown to be the primary stream of revenue over the years. With financial worries on the rise, particularly with the current state of our government, the music industry chose to revitalize the reliable resource of live performance, rather than leave the artists stuck in the studios and the fans stuck at home.
Live Nation, the world's largest promoter of live-events, has already reported a profit of $58.1 million in ticket sales within the first half of 2013 alone, according to Pollstar. This amount clearly illustrates the large impact that
live performance has on the music industry.
So why would a two-for-one deal on tickets be necessary with a dollar amount like that? Well, let me ask you, when was the last time you attended a concert alone? Most of us wouldn't even want to grab dinner on Massachusetts Street without some company. Unity is at the core of music. Music is meant to bring people together, and what better way to do so than selling tickets in a pair? Neil Young once enlightened us all to "keep on rocking in the free world," and with the government out of commission, it seems as though the music industry has every intention of doing just that.
Student abroad observes stereotypes internationally
Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu province and a former capital of China itself. Roughly 200 miles inland from the coastal city of Shanghai, this city has four distinct seasons. Established along the Yangtze River and nestled between two mountain ranges, Nanjing is noticeably more humid than Kansas City, perhaps even more so with its cozy population of around 10 million.
Despite the large size, the public transit is very good. The subway has two lines currently in use, and additional ones are under construction. Five companies run a bussing network that is composed of over 370 routes. Additionally, there are cab drivers in abundance, but word has it that as a westerner, they are not always the easiest to acquire. I won't blame the cabbies, though. It's likely that most of them have at one point or another picked up a westerner, asked politely in Chinese where they would like to go, and had a single line of directions shoved in their face. "Zhegei!" shouts the passenger with bulging helpless eyes. So I won't blame that balding Chinese man who passed me by last week only to pick up a Chinese couple not more than twenty meters down the road.
By Scott Rainen scottrainen@gmail.com
Naturally, we are kept separate from the Chinese undergraduate students for fear that we will pollute their impressionable minds with our western ideals inspired by academically inept, socially provocative and sexually
perverse idols. For example, Bill Gates; college dropout.
We instead study at Nanjing Universities' Gulou campus, roughly a mile away from the main campus, and as an extra precaution, our classes are held in the same building that we live in. Never before has xenophobia led to such convenient living arrangements, I suppose.
Thus, I frequently mix with an international crowd including those who are polite enough to avoid rightfully criticizing my home country, those who are quick to hold me accountable for all the evils my country has committed – ignoring their own respective histories – those who study things they are not interested in simply to acquire visas, keeping them out of undesirable situations, and – of course – those who are feverishly studying "business Chinese" so they too can get their slice of the ever dwindling pie. jiayou!
Then there is myself: a product of the Nike generation, one who simply does things to do them. It's too easy to expand the stories and impressions given by a select few people to represent a larger whole. This is a common problem life confronts us with, and it is of particular danger to a temporary such as myself. I pop into a place for a short span of time. Hear stories. Tell them to friends back home. Slowly, the
person in the story loses their name and it is replaced by the name of a whole group of people - East Coasters, Spaniards, Africans. I try to avoid making generalizations, but if I falter, it wouldn't have been be the first time and certainly won't be the last.
Generalization seems to be one of those natural evils in life, though. There is too much information, and our minds need to simplify it, but this inevitable is a close cousin of bigotry, among a slew of other illustrious family members. Yes, one can reduce Bill Gates to a college dropout, and this is correct, but whether you like him or not, how many people would agree that this completely-accurate characterization of the man truly sums him up?
I suppose I've sat through too many conversations of kids returning from some foreign country commenting: "but you know how the French are," but do I really know? Do You? Who knows? It's probably just in my head. The living arrangements were probably just a thoughtful notion by the University and that balding Chinese man probably just didn't notice me calling for his cab.

Sexuality clarification unfair and distasteful
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK UDK
Think back to Disney's sports-movie classic, "Remember The Titans." There's a scene in which Petey Jones cryptically asks Ronnie 'Sunshine' Bass if he's gay (in reference to Sunshine's locker room kiss-stunt on Gerry Bertier). Like a good sport, Sunshine humors Jones by pretending not to understand the question, ultimately deciding not to answer it, but this upsets Jones. In that scene, following Sunshine's refusal to tell, Jones demands, "I have to know." Here's my question: why did he need to know?
Although that interaction is already emblematic in that Petey is outwardly asking Sunshine whether or not he's gay, what I find seemingly interesting and relevant in today's culture is the public's obsession with "needling to know" a person's sexual orientation.

Take the recent hubbub surrounding Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In the September issue of Out magazine, Levitt addressed an ongoing public debate over his sexual orientation by simply stating "it would be really tacky" if he had to clarify because that would mean "they would win," referring to an incident in which paparazzi were hired to shoot Levitt and a friend to insinuate that the two were romantically involved. Levitt's refusal to clarify reminded me of a similar situation.

Last year Grammy-award-winning artist Frank Ocean made waves in the LGBTQ community, as well as the rap community, for an Internet letter revealing he had once fell in love with a man. Although he was praised for his bravery in his coming-out, journalists began writing Ocean down as gay or bisexual, even though the letter never indicated either. Later in an interview, GQ would address the letter, asking Ocean "if he considered [himself] bisexual." Ocean's response:

... As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain't got to pry beyond that. I'm giving you what I feel like you can feel. The other [things], you can't feel. You can't feel a box."
In my own experience, there will be moments in conversation when someone will speculate or pry as to whether I know if someone is gay or not, and my reaction always tends to be: "Why does it matter?" Defensively he or she will respond with "it doesn't matter; I'm just curious." But if it doesn't matter, then don't pry.
In no way do I advocate for a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" mentality on sexuality. DADT silences the right to reveal freely, and by that definition, the right to keep private as well.
What's interesting about these cultural figures is their refusal to acknowledge their sexuality due to a belief that it relays no importance to their professional image.
My problem is with people demanding answers on others' sexuality, not because it matters, but because they're interested in satisfying their curiosity without respecting an individual's right to remain ambiguous. That's problematic, seeing as sexuality can prove to be a very sensitive indicator of whom someone is.
Some people prefer to come out on their own terms, and others prefer friends and family to ask. It's not always easy determining how someone would like to acknowledge their sexuality - if at all - but the curiosity of knowing and the frustration of not knowing should never warrant an answer, especially if its relevancy won't qualify a person's opinions, views or life perspectives.

Turn down an expensive proposition.
Life seems easier for the next few days. Increase your family's comfort.
Balance your checkbook before spending. Inspire participation from your team, rather than demanding.
Guard a valuable secret. Enjoy time together.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 7
Discipline is required. Don't worry indefinitely, or let yourself get too far off on a tangent. It's emotion versus reason. Keep in action. You're gaining confidence. Grow your compassion. You're inspiring.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7
Mull over your plans. You'll be more analytical, with help from a technical friend. Imagination works when all else fails. If you're not prepared, do what needs to be done first.

RAMEN BOWLS
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
University alumni Tim and Shantel Grace hope to change the way college students view ramen with their new restaurant Ramen Bowls, located at 125 E. 10th St. The restaurant's grand opening is this weekend.
FOOD
Alumni offer tasty twist on college diet staple
I DANI BRADY
dbrady@kansan.con
All college students have found themselves heating up a bowl of water and tossing in a 65-cent package of salty powder and a dry slab of noodles at some point or another. We may not be proud of it, but ramen noodles taste delicious because we're lazy, broke college students.
Alumni Tim and Shantel Grace are attempting to change the way Lawrence views these Asian noodles with Ramen Bowls, located at 125 E. 10th St.
Why would we want to pay more for ramen when we can make it in our dorm or small apartment kitchen? It's essentially the same reason we are willing to pay a little extra at an authentic Italian restaurant instead of eating a can of Chef Boyardee.
Tim and Shantel met at the University, fell in love, got married and moved to Hawaii shortly after graduation. Living there for almost five years, they became immersed in the culture, food, language and tradition of the
island. After having their first child, they returned to Kansas and decided to introduce what they learned about island cuisine to the rest of the Lawrence community.
The couple, with no previous restaurant experience, was trained by a ramen consultant from Singapore and has hired professionally qualified ramen chefs. The noodles date back to imperial China and require many hours of preparation.
"We wanted to open a restaurant with a playful atmosphere that doesn't take food too seriously," Shantel said.
"What most people don't realize is that we make our broths from scratch and begin roasting our pork bones as early as 5 a.m." Shantel said.
The restaurant is currently in their "soft opening," only offering a portion of the menu in order to get a feel for what will work and what won't.
I was pleasantly surprised after eating at Ramen Bowls. At first I couldn't imagine why I would pay for a package of ramen that I could make at home in three
Difficulty Level ★★★
I ordered gyoza, which are pork-filled dumplings, fresh noodles with pieces of chicken in a creamy chicken broth called haoole ramen, and fried rice tossed with egg, carrots and peas all for under $20. The waiters wear uniforms resembling kimonos, lanterns hang from the ceiling, and island music plays throughout the small and intimate location providing an authentic atmosphere.
minutes, but the restaurant offers so much more than stringy, sodium-enriched noodles. Incorporating Asian and island cuisine they serve dishes besides ramen, including egg rolls, dumplings and fried rice.
Shantel and Tim are ready for the quirks and common mishaps that come with opening a new restaurant. They are happy to hear that more people actually know or have heard of a ramen bar before and they have been pleased with the positive response from their customers, Shantel said.
Ramen Bowls plans to introduce their full menu this weekend as part of their grand opening.

Danny Guerrieri, Jr., Julian Cerecedo-Macfarlene and Sebastian de la Calle form the cover band Panic Disorder. The band will play tonight at The Jazzhaus with local bands Nodding Lizard and TCB.
Florida cover band brings extensive set list to Lawrence
LTOM DEHART
tdehart@kansan.com
Panic Disorder is not your ordinary cover band. Hailing from Florida, they have a setlist of over 175 songs, and they're making their way to Kansas to show off just how many genres they have under their belt.
The band's covers range from a selection of artists including classic rock bands, such as Creedence Clearwater Revival, Buffalo Springfield and Tom Petty, to more contemporary artists, like Blink-182, Kings of Leon and Weezer. They also maintain a collection of artists from the past 50 years including Johnny Cash, Simon & Garfunkel, The Cure, Men Without Hats, Sublime and Operation Ivy. They have played all over the state of Florida for the past decade, from the FanFest at Sun Life Stadium, to a pre-game performance at the BCS Orange Bowl.
Ben Adelberg, the band's manager, said that Panic Disorder's vast setlist allows them to play a whole weekend worth of shows and never once repeat a song.
"I can put them in a dark, punk rock bar one night and the next night they can turn around and play the tiki bar," Adelberg said. "They know how to read a crowd really well and they can appeal to a large audience."
Adelberg said that what sets the band apart from the other bands in the Florida music scene is that they have the ability to cover songs in a very unique way. This includes their efforts to put forth covers of songs from pop artists including The Spice Girls, Lady Gaga and Cee Lo Green.
Danny Guerrieri, the band's frontman and guitar player, said that he was influenced by guitarists like Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai from a young age, but as he got older he became more interested in punk rock. Bands like Social Distortion and Rancid tended to catch his ear more and helped him to bring his music to a level of higher energy. That energy is what he tries to bring to the stage and the crowd as he plays a setlist that he improvises and develops based on the crowd's reaction as the night goes on.
taste the room," Guerrieri said. "I see the patrons to see there there and how I feel, and then—starting with that observation—I go into what song I'm going to lead with. I might start with some Blink-182, or I might start with some Rolling Stones. It all depends on the age of the crowd."
What I do when I set up is I
Despite having almost 200 songs to choose from, Guerrieri says his favorite song to play live is "Soundsystem" by Operation Ivy.
"The best part about it is that it is really upbeat. As a punk-rock song, it's pretty standard, but to people who have never heard it, it gets them feeling."
Come see Panic Disorder tonight at The Jazzhaus, located at 926.5 Massachusetts St., with local bands Nodding Lizard and TCB. There will be $5 cover charge to get in.

Fall break is almost here, and what better way to kick it off than by going out and listening to one of the country's more recent up-and-coming performers. Haim, an indie pop band from Los Angeles, will be playing at the Granada tonight, Oct. 10. The band, made up of three sisters, is quickly becoming a popular success, touring with artists including Rihanna and Mumford & Sons.

In light of the government shutdown, there has never been a better time to watch "The West Wing," and really, you can never go wrong with an Aaron Sorkin show.

an unforgettable ride. What really sticks out in this show is that no matter what the issue, they always make sure to present and often argue both sides. They are also able to fix their problems, which, perhaps, is what we should really focus on.
"Downton Abbey"

HOBERT HALL
I hope that I am not alone when I say that sometimes school makes me want to cry. Especially with midterms coming up, the urge is stronger than ever. The only issue is that sometimes I feel as though I should not be crying over something so small. So instead, I watch shows where it is excusable for me to cry. "Downton Abbey" is exactly the perfect show to cry and laugh during, but mostly cry. Get ready for a roller coaster ride of emotions that last exactly three seasons complete with amazing
costumes and extremely attractive actors and actresses.
"Better Off Ted"

Fox Television
Now, if you are looking for something a bit more light-hearted, this show is the one for you. "Better Off Ted" is a workplace satire that ran back in 2009. The show only has two seasons with each episode only lasting 30 minutes. It will be easy to just whist right though. It focuses around Ted Crisp, the moral development chief of the unethical company of Veridan Dynamics. However, the thing that really sticks out in this show is Porta de Rossi's character Veronica Palmer. She has a quick wit, is a strong woman and always looks amazing; she truly is a role model. So even if you aren't trying to learn anything over Fall Break, you could take a few tips from her.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama views stolen art objects seized by police in the biggest operation of the kind on Oct. 9. Albanian police have seized more than 1,000 stolen religious and secular pieces of art dating from the 15th to the mid-20th century, and arrested two men suspected of planning to sell them abroad.
Albanian police arrest two men suspected of selling stolen art
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TIRANA, Albania — Albanian police have seized more than 1,000 religious and secular pieces of art dating from the 15th to the mid-20th century that were stolen from churches and cultural centers in Albania and neighboring Macedonia.
Prime Minister Edi Rama, who began his career as an artist, inspected the works and praised police for recovering them.
The thefts involved 1,077 icons, frescoes and other pieces, and two
men suspected of planning to sell them abroad were arrested, a police statement said Wednesday.
After a four-month investigation, the works were found in two houses in the capital, Tirana, where the arrests took place late Tuesday. Officials did not provide an estimate of the items' value.
Culture Ministry spokeswoman Milena Selimi said the looted art was probably headed for sale in other Balkan countries or in Western Europe.
The recovered works were being
kept at the National Gallery of Arts in Tirana, where experts will examine them and restore damaged ones.
Cultural authorities say much of the country's religious heritage remains at risk due to limited resources in a country where religion was banned for decades under communism.
"If we lose this wealth, our history will vanish with it," Rama said.

Kansas alum produces film based on own life
MADDY MIKINSKI
mmikiniski@kansan.com
Harold Finch's job history is a coat of many colors. The University alumnus has been involved in almost everything, from serving as an officer in the Air Force to helping found Johnson County Community College. Now, Finch's life as a proprietor of an orphanage in India is being brought to the silver screen. This Friday, "Unlimited" hits theaters, with a special preview Thursday, allowing audiences a closer look into the life of this extraordinary man.
Q: You attended KU for your bachelor's then left. What made you return for your doctorate, and what made you choose a doctorate that was so different from your previous degrees?
A: As a young boy growing up in Kansas City during the Great Depression, I had a fascination for space and could often be seen doodling rocket ships in school. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree in 1956 and was in the ROTC at KU, which earned me a commission as an Air Force officer. I moved to Ohio during the peak of the Cold War and worked at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Intelligence. Later, in 1961, as a civil servant still in the employ of the Air Force, I earned my Mechanical Engineering Master's Degree from Ohio State by night majoring in thermodynamics. I returned to Kansas and worked at Midwest Research Institute (MRI) inventing the "barbecue roll," which distributes the extreme heat and cold of space evenly across the lunar craft by executing slow rolls on its
longitudinal axis, and then served as the Director of the Apollo Heating Program for NASA.
My wife, Peggy, of 58 years tells me I change careers every 7 or 8 years, and she is right. In the midst of my work with NASA through MRI, I was asked if I would consider being the founding Academic Dean of Johnson County Community College. It was a radical change, but they were seeking someone analytical and organized in planning, like an engineer. I accepted the position and the challenge, and returned to KU for my doctorate in Education in 1971. I am a loyal Jayhawk through and through. KU will always have my heart.
A: Four years ago, an international organization with movie-making connections asked if I would be interested in having a movie made inspired loosely on my life. It was an honor to be asked something like this out of the blue and harmless all at once. I thought about it for quite some time. My family encouraged me to do it, and I decided it was another way of leaving a legacy for my family as well as a means of continuing the principles I teach around the world on honesty and integrity. The movie is mixed with a lot of fiction to add drama and action.
could be involved every step of the way from reading the 25 different scripts and having input on the writing and storyline — award-winning author Davis Bunn wrote the movie then the accompanying novel — to bringing together the "Unlimited" team, including the producer, writers, marketing team and PR firm.
Chad Gundersen, the producer, wanted to create a character in the movie with my name, and we were excited Fred Thompson ("In the Line of Fire," "Die Hard 2," "Law & Order") agreed to take the role. I became executive producer so that I
Q: What were some challenges you faced in making "Unlimited"?
A: There were non-stop challenges learning the ropes of movie making, and one must be very persistent. There's a 1:600,000 chance of an independent film making it into theaters. When someone says, "you can't do that," I am motivated to prove them wrong, and I encourage everyone to do the same. Don't let those around you dictate what you do with your life.
Q: What came easily to you, and how did your previous careers help you in producing the movie?
A: The planning, analyzing and organizing of details — in an arena I had no previous experience came easy and had been developed through past careers. The hardest thing was the large learning curve and waiting a long time between each action item. However, the best part is having a team of excellence. I could turn to experienced movie makers around me for direction and guidance every step of the way.
A: The market demand for the premiere was in Kansas City, and we certainly hope to see other cities in
Q: Why did you decide to premiere your movie in Kansas City?
vite us to their theaters after our premiere debut. Kansas City is where I was born and raised, and I am proud to be from here. This is where this exciting adventure in movie making began, and it all fell into place to premiere "Unlimited" here.
A: After my work with JCCC, I founded and later sold two businesses. When I retired 28 years ago, I took a trip to India, worked for a short time in an orphanage with other family members and friends, and even had the honor of naming a baby. I named her Sarah. At the end of the two weeks, as we tearfully told the kids goodbye, a little girl named Provowady wrapped her arms around my neck and whispered in my ear, "My daddy." That moment changed my life forever, and I have devoted the last 28 years teaching honesty, integrity, excellence and the pursuit of one's unlimited potential all around the world — even if you are born in the lowest caste in India. One of the orphans I met on that first trip to India is now running the orphanage, and I still have regular contact with him and others. These 28 years have served as a springboard to the movie.
Since my ministry began in an orphanage ministering to orphans, the movie centers in an orphanage in Mexico which represents my experiences in India. Fred Thompson plays the retired me, NASA rocket scientist and inventor (the rocket ship on Fred's desk travels with me all over the world when I speak), who encourages those around him to resist corruption. The elephant
story (you'll know it when you see it) is directly from my talks, and my book is referenced to. There's some fiction, action, a little romance and a murder, and the story line moves at a fast pace. The twist on this is that the character of Simon was inspired by a young me - ornery, disrespectful, always chasing the impossible but beating the skeptics. But that is another story.
My wife and I and other family and friends have cameo appearances in the movie, and one of my family members worked on set for a week. It was filmed in El Paso, Texas, which was subbing as Mexico.
Q: You have such a varied resume,
how did you make the jump from
NASA to Shell to founding JCCC?
A: Since I change careers every 7 or 8 years, I can now see how my varied resume opened doors for me to speak to a wide range of audiences around the world and even reach more people through "Unlimited," which will be released in theaters Oct. 11. In looking back, I believe this is why I made many career jumps. It started my ministry and now helps continue it.
Be sure to catch the premiere of "Unlimited," at Cinemark Palace at the Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., this Thursday. It will be screened in select theaters around the country starting Friday before being shown nationwide throughout spring.

Spencer Museum of Art to host architecture lecture
ICALEB SISK
csisk@kansan.com
Recent trends in architecture will be highlighted tomorrow morning during a lecture at the Spencer Museum of Art.
The School of Architecture and Urban Planning has paired with the Spencer Museum of Art to host a guest lecture geared towards architecture students. Architect Marshall Strabala will be giving the lecture this Friday at 11:30 a.m.
Strabala is a prolific member of the architectural community with offices in Chicago, Shanghai and Seoul. He is a partner in the firm 2DEFINE Architecture, which specializes in complex and high profile projects. Strabala was involved in a few of the biggest architectural achievements in recent memory, including the Shanghai Tower and the Burj Khalifa. Strabala said he believes that these projects represent far more than just very tall buildings.
These buildings become identifiers for their respective cities
when they show up in post cards and the like. For instance, when you think of Chicago, you picture the Sears Tower and the Hancock Center", said Strabala.
Students will be able to hear firsthand what goes into the design and planning process for these structures from one of the most knowledgeable sources on the planet. Strabala said there are maybe 13 such buildings in the world, and he helped design three of them. This is an opportunity that Dominic Sosinski, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said he plans to take full advantage of.
"It will be interesting to hear from an architect that was involved in some of the most well known and famous building being constructed today," Sosinski said.
Strabala plans on profiling some of his major projects in hopes that students will gain perspective for their future careers. Erin McFarland, a senior from Lenexa, hopes to gain this very perspective through her attendance.
about high rise buildings because it is a topic that is important to understand for the future of architecture," McFarland said.
With advances in technology and design, architects are able to push the envelope when it comes to designing these large-scale buildings, so creativity is key.
I'm excited to hear Strabala talk
"The forces of nature frequently dictate what can and can't be done when it comes to buildings of this size, so often times creative solutions to these problems decide the success of a project." Strabala said.
succeed in it.
Strabala said he hopes that students take more away from his lecture than simply how to build really tall buildings. Specialization is something that he believes is indispensable in his field.
This lecture is an opportunity for students studying architecture and design to learn what it takes to become successful in their field. The lecture will be held at 11:30 a.m. at the Spencer Museum of Art and it is open to the public.

Juno on track despite snag
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES NASA's Jupiter-bound spacecraft hit a snag Wednesday soon after it used Earth as a gravity slingshot to hurle toward the outer solar system, but mission managers said it's on course to arrive at the giant planet in 2016.
Juno emerged from Earth's shadow in safe mode, a state that spacecraft are programmed to go into when there's some trouble.
Nybakken of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the $1.1 billion mission.
when they met the problem, "we believe we are on track as planned to Jupiter," said project manager Rick
Engineers continued to diagnose the issue, which occurred after Juno whipped around Earth in a momentum-gathering flyby. Up until Wednesday, Juno had been in excellent health. While in safe mode, it can communicate with ground controllers, but its activities are limited.
Previous missions to the outer solar system have used Earth as a celestial springboard since there's no rocket powerful enough to make a direct flight. The Galileo spacecraft buzzed by Earth twice in the 1990s en route to Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet located 484 million miles from the sun.
Launched in 2011, Juno flew beyond the orbit of Mars, Earth's closest planetary neighbor, before looping back toward our home planet for a quick visit. Wednesday's rendezvous boosted Juno's speed from 78,000 mph relative to the sun to 87,000 mph — enough momentum to cruise past the asteroid belt to Jupiter, where it should arrive in 2016.
By space mission standards, Juno's Earth rendezvous was low-key.

Dylan Maz pours beer during a tour on Oct. 3 at Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee. The shutdown has closed an obscure agency that quietly approves new breweries, recipes and labels, which could create huge delays throughout the rapidly growing craft industry, whose customers expect a constant supply of inventive and seasonal beers. Brewery officials are frustrated that some of their new labels and a new recipe might be held up with the federal government shutdown.
Government shutdown causes holdups for craft beer industry
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILWAUKEE — The federal government shutdown could leave America's craft brewers with a serious hangover.
Stores will still offer plenty of suds. But the shutdown has closed an obscure agency that quietly approves new breweries, recipes and labels, which could create huge delays throughout the rapidly growing craft industry, whose customers expect a constant supply of inventive and seasonal beers.
Mike Brenner is trying to open a craft brewery in Milwaukee by December. His application to include a tasting room is now on hold, as
are his plans to file paperwork for four labels over the next few weeks. He expects to lose about $8,000 for every month his opening is delayed.
"My dream, this is six years in the making, is to open this brewery," Brenner said. "I've been working so hard, and I find all these great investors. And now I can't get started because people are fighting over this or that in Washington. ... This is something people don't mess around with. Even in a bad economy, people drink beer."
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, or TTB, is a little-known arm of the Treasury Department. The agency will continue to process taxes from existing permit holders, but applications for anything new are in limbo.
"One could think of this shutdown as basically stopping business indefinitely for anyone who didn't have certain paperwork in place back in mid-August," said Paul Gatza, director of the Brewers Association, which represents more than 1,900 U.S. breweries.
A woman who answered the phone Oct. 2 at TTB's headquarters in Washington abruptly hung up after explaining that the government was shut down. Assistant Administrator Cheri Mitchell did not respond to telephone or email messages.
the shutdown began Oct. 1, and a group of House Republican lawmakers blocked a budget deal in a last-ditch effort to stop funding for President Barack Obama's health care law.
The closing isn't expected to have much effect on industry giants such as MillerCoors or Anheuser-Busch. They can continue to produce existing products as usual. But the shutdown poses a huge problem for craft brewers, who build their businesses by producing quirky, offbeat flavors and introducing new seasonal beers, sometimes as often as every quarter.
Craft brewers around the country say TTB was taking as long as 75

days to approve applications before the shutdown. Now they're bracing for even longer waits. And tempers are flaring.
"(Expletive) Feds are gonna shut down the already incompetent. Gov while hundreds of small breweries, including us, have labels pending. Nice." That was followed with "Wanna regulate? Perform or get out of the way."
Tony Magee, owner of Lagunitas Brewing Co. in Petaluma, Calif., posted messages on his Twitter account this week ripping the shutdown.
Lagunitas Chief Operating Officer Todd Stevenson called the TTB shutdown a "headache." He said the company was planning to submit an application to package its autumn seasonal Hairy Eyeball in 22-ounce bottles instead of 12-ounce bottles but can't move forward.
"It's just aggravating," Stevenson said. "It is frustrating that government can't do its job. Doing what they're doing now is unprecedented."
Bryan Simpson, a spokesman for New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins, Colo., said his brewery has three recipes and five new labels awaiting approval. The company is especially worried that the release of its new spring label, Spring Blonde, could get pushed

back. More delays might force New Belgium to shell out extra money to speed up the label printing and rush the beer to market, he said
"Everybody is frustrated in general," Simpson said. "The whole way this has played out has been disappointing for the entire country."
Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee has applications pending for new packaging of its IBA dark ale and for permission to offer a sour cherry dark lager called John, a brewery employee's own coconction.
The brewery hopes to launch the IBA packaging in November and John in December, but nothing is certain now. If the shutdown causes delays, the brewery will probably have to rush the beers to market, said brewery spokesman Matt Krajnak.
"If we lose that first month, we lose out on a good chunk of money," Krajnak said. "Right now, it's only been a week so it's not too bad. Two weeks, three weeks is when we're really going to start sweating here."
Brenner said politicians don't seem to care how much damage they're causing.
"For them it's just another day," he said. "They are still getting paid, but I'm losing $8,000 a month."

US cutting hundreds of millions in aid to Egypt
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this April 24 file photo, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, second left, stands with an Egyptian army official before laying a wreath at the tomb of late President Anwar al-Sadat, U.S. officials said on Oct. 9 that the Obama administration is poised to slash hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance to Egypt.
COLOMBIA
WASHINGTON — The United States on Wednesday cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to its Mideast ally Egypt, responding to the military ouster last summer of the nation's first democratically elected president and the crack-down on protesters that has sunk the country into violent turmoil.
While the State Department did not provide a dollar amount of what was being withheld, most of it is linked to military aid. In all, the U.S. provides $1.5 billion in aid each year to Egypt.
Officials said the aid being withheld included 10 Apache helicopters at a cost of more than $500 million, M1A1 tank kits and Harpoon anti-ship missiles. The U.S. also is withholding $260 million in cash assistance to the government until "credible progress" is made toward an inclusive government set up through free and fair elections. The U.S. had already suspended the delivery of four F-16 fighter jets and canceled biennial U.S.-Egyptian military exercises.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In Cairo, military spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali declined immediate comment. Before the announcement, Gen. Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi, the Egyptian military leader, described his country's relations with the United States as "strategic" and founded on mutual interests. But he told the Cairo daily, Al-Masry al-Youm, in an interview published on Wednesday that Egypt would not tolerate pressure,
"whether through actions or hints." Neighboring Israel also has indicated concern. The Israelis consider the U.S. aid to Egypt to be important support for the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel.
The State Department stressed that the long-standing U.S. partnership with Egypt would continue and U.S. officials made it clear that the decisions are not permanent, adding that there is no intent by the Obama administration to end any specific programs. Still, the decision puts ties between the U.S. and Egypt at their rockiest point in more than three decades.
"The United States continues to support a democratic transition and oppose violence as a means of resolving differences within Egypt," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. "We will continue to review the decisions regarding our assistance periodically and will continue to work with the interim government to help it move toward our shared goals in an atmosphere free of violence and intimidation."
The U.S. will continue to provide support for health and education and counterterrorism, spare military parts, military training and education, border security and security assistance in the Sinal Peninsula where near-daily attacks against security forces and soldiers have increasingly resembled a full-fledged insurgency.
other subjects, supported the president's decision.
The U.S. officials providing the details did so only on condition of
anonymity because they were not authorized to comment by name.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., whose bill to halt aid to Egypt was roundly defeated in the Senate in July, said he was happy to see the administration "finally thinking about following the law."
Other details about what military assistance is being cut were not immediately known, and the State Department declined to give an indication of how severe the impact of the cuts in assistance might be in Egypt.
Our law is clear. when there is a military coup, U.S. aid to the government is cut off," Leahy said in a statement. "Rather than encourage reconciliation and restore democracy as it promised, the Egyptian military has reinstituted martial law and cracked down on the Islamic opposition, which has also used violence."
Based on cost estimates, however, the M1A1 tank kits are about $10 million each, and Egypt was slated to get about four per month, offi-
cans said. The Harpoon contract was for 20 missiles, at a total cost of $145 million. It was not clear if any of those had already been delivered F-16 fighter jets can cost more than $30 million each, but that amount could fluctuate depending on the equipment and weapons systems included.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who chairs the Senate Appropriations panel that funds U.S. assistance to Egypt, criticized the Obama administration's action as too little.
Others, including some sharp political opponents of Obama on

COMMENTARY Self improves recruiting game
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Bill Self began his career at Kansas hot on the recruiting trail, landing six 5-star recruits in his first three classes. Five of those players—Russell Robinson, Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Sherron Collins, and Darrell Arthur—formed the nucleus on the 2008 National Championship team, hammering home the point that coaching can get you to the brink, but talent takes you over the top.
Recruiting never fell off completely for Self, but he had been in a lull recently, signing classes that weren't up to previous Kansas standards, or at least up to the expectations Self had set for himself.
Despite this, Kansas continued to win because Self is a future hall-of-fame coach, and he didn't need a team full of high school All-Americans to win 30 games and contend for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. He could roll out of bed and do that.
But maybe coaching a team full of over-achievers to the NCAA Championship game in 2012 flipped a switch for Self. The first player off the bench for that team was Conner Teahan, a former walk-on who had no business playing significant minutes on a Final Four team.
Since being overwhelmed by Kentucky in that game, Self has taken his recruiting talents to another level. He secured the nation's second best recruiting class last year before adding Andrew Wiggins, the No.1 overall recruit and one of the most heralded high school players in years, who will also don the newest cover of Sports Illustrated.
Self then hired Jerrance Howard to his staff in May, a young coach who is considered one of the best recruiters in the country.
On Tuesday, a month before Self's highly touted freshman class plays its first game, he began working his next masterpiece. Five-star shooting guard Kelly Oubre committed to the Jayhawks a few days after visiting Lawrence for "Late Night in the Phog." The 12th ranked player in the class of 2014 according to Rivals.com is the first player to commit to the Jayhawks for next season, but he won't be the last. And when the smoke clears, he could be the third best player to sign with Kansas.
Five-star recruits Myles Turner (sixth overall), Tyus Jones (fifth), Cliff Alexander (fourth), and Jahh Okafor (first), have visited or plan to visit Lawrence this month. Then there is Jaquan Lyle, another 5-star recruit (22nd overall) who decommitted from Louisville and told ESPN that Kansas might be the one school he couldn't turn down.
But Lyle doesn't have a scholarship offer from Self, who must think he is in good enough shape with the players mentioned above that he is turning down a 5-star recruit because he can do better.
Maybe Kelly Oubre was right. "KU is a family," he told Rivals. com on Tuesday, "And Bill Self is the Godfather."

THE MORNING BREW MLB managers always one step ahead
One of the most difficult jobs in the world of professional sports is being a general manager in the MLB. It's not quite like being a general manager of any other sport. Major League Baseball is so much more than just the teams in the league. Each one of the 30 MLB teams in the league have an expansive farm system with hundreds of players trying to make their way to the top. One right move and you could be headed to the World Series; one wrong move and you could send your team into a downward spiral for years to come.
By Ben Felderstein
bfelderstein@kansan.com
In organizations like the NFL and the NBA, a general manager is usually expected to produce a winning team immediately. In baseball, they can buy themselves time producing a strong, deep farm system. The trading of prospects in baseball is far more prevalent than in other sports. When prospects are drafted, they immediately report to the minor leagues for at least a season or two. For some players, it can take more than five years to reach the pinnacle of their profession. Prospects are often the kingpins of extensive player trades.
General managers in baseball always have to be thinking at least two years ahead. A major strategy amongst general managers is to trade old, aging, and hopefully declining talent for fresh, young talent. Playoff contenders are often one player away from making a run. In 2011, the San Francisco Giants had a record of 60-44 going into the trading deadline. The Giants had always been known for having a dominant
pitching staff and a rather weak offense. The New York Mets had just the player that the Giants needed to solidify their offense. On July 28, 2011, the Mets sent 34-year-old outfielder Carlos Beltran to San Francisco for Zack Wheeler, a 21-year-old pitching prospect ranked number one in the Giants organization. The Giants wound up going 25-32 down the stretch and lost Beltran to free agency the next offseason. The Mets now have a young, healthy and powerful arm to go along with Matt Harvey at the top of the rotation.
In this case, the Mets came out on top. They now have an amazing prospect to start rebuilding around. There are also cases in which the team acquires the veteran and comes out on top. In 2008, CC Sabathia was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers for four prospects. Sabathia spent half a season in Milwaukee. CC managed to pitch 130.2 innings, recorded an ERA of 1.65 and a record of 11-2. He helped the Brewers get back to the playoffs.
In 2013, the trading deadline was not as
hectic as it usually is. Three starting pitchers were traded to different teams: Jake Peavy was sent to the Red Sox, Bud Norris to the Orioles and Ian Kennedy to the Padres. These were the lone blockbuster deals of the deadline this year. However, after the trading deadline the Mets and Pirates were able to get a deal done sending two veterans to Pittsburgh in return for three prospects. The Mets sent Marlon Byrd and John Buck to the Pirates. Marlon Byrd is having a career season and has added a tremendous amount to the Pirates lineup.
There are some teams that just seem to be able to do it right. The Boston Red Sox are the main team that comes to mind when talking about consistency and smart general managing, making the playoffs seven times in the last 10 years. The Red Sox are always in the thick of things on the free agent market, but it's on the trade market where they really do their damage.
In 2003, the Sox traded four prospects to the Diamondbacks for Curt Schilling. At the time, this was thought to be way too high of a price for the aging right-hander. What did Schilling go on to do? He went 21-6 in his first season in Boston, helped the Sox win two World Series and gave one of the most memorable postseason performances in history, "The Bloody Sock Game."
After the Sox won it all in '04 (their first World Series win in 86 years), the 2005 season came around and it was time to make another move. The Sox sent prospect Hanley Ramirez and two other prospects to the Marlins for Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell
KU
and journeyman,
Guillermo Mota. Yes, Hanley went on to become an elite power-hiting shortstop, but Beckett and Lowell gave the Sox the immediate stability they needed at the time. Beckett went 20-7 while Lowell hit .320/21/120 in 2007 and helped lead the Sox to another Fall Classic victory.
The Red Sox are a team to be modeled (Bobby Valentine notwithstanding). They get the job done year in and year out. They make the right moves for the right players at the right times. It's no wonder that teams like the New York Mets are taking plays from the hypothetical Red Sox general manager playbook. The Mets have made a number of moves recently starting with the Wheeler deal attempting to build a young core around veterans the likes of David Wright and John Niese. The art of trading veterans for prospects has been going on for years and years, and it's a gamble that general managers have to make sometimes. If they're on the winning side of that gamble, their organization might only be one trade away from winning it all.

Kansas faces off against San Diego in the USD Tournament in California on Aug. 28, 2011. The Jayhawks won 2-1.
Jayhawks look for first Big 12 victory against Horned Frogs
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
The season has been like a roller coaster for the Kansas soccer team. As soon as it seems like the lajhawks have become more consistent or have momentum on their side, they can't seem to find a way to score. This streak has continued on to the conference play, as the lajhawks have remained scoreless through their first two Big 12 matches. The result is a 0-1-1 conference record, with a loss to Texas and a tie with Iowa State.
Friday, Kansas will host the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs at home for a chance to earn its first conference victory. Kansas is currently in sixth place, while TCU is tied for seventh. Coach Mark Francis stressed the importance of winning home conference games, and said earning a victory Friday, Kansas only game this weekend, is essential.
"We've put all our energy into the one game!" Francis said. "I thought we played really well on Sunday. We just have to be a little more efficient in the attacking third."
TCU (4-6-3, 0-2-1) is also winless,
and scoreless, in the conference season. TCU tied with Oklahoma State after two overtime periods during their last match. The Horned Frogs had 20 shots in that game, with four on goal. Junior goalkeeper Vittoria Arnold had five saves in the game and has an overall save percentage of 72.5 percent.
The Horned Frogs have been shut out in six matches this season. Their scoring leader is freshman forward Michelle Prokof, with six goals this season. She has taken 26 shots, which is 23 percent of the teams total. In TCU's last victory, which was on Sept. 22 against Central Arkansas, Prokof scored three times.
"I think it's a good matchup" Francis said. "They are definitely more athletic than they were last year. They're very organized, extremely feisty. We have to come out and compete."
Kansas' last victory was also on Sept. 22, against Illinois State. The team's last goal came against Santa Clara on Sept. 27. With 16 minutes left in the match, sophomore midfielder Liana Salazar scored the goal off a free kick. Salazar is second on the team with three goals, and senior
forward Caroline Kastor is first with four.
"This Friday is going to come down to being more technical, more clinical," Kastor said. "I think just playing with our heart and wanting it more than TCU. Especially in the Big 12, that's the difference between each team, who wants it more. We definitely have the ability to do it, we just need to execute."
Despite being shut out the last two matches, the Jayhawks have had opportunities to score. In the last match against Texas, one of the best opportunities was off the head of sophomore midfielder Hanna Kallmaier. During a corner kick, Kallmaier sent a header that hit the left goal post.
Kansas is not lacking in shots. Junior midfielder Jamie Fletcher has had 40 shots so far, Salazar has 35 and Kastor has 34. Each of these players are in the top 10 in the Big 12 in number of shots taken.
Kansas will match up against TCU at 4 p.m. on Friday at home.

Bears, Giants prepare to face off amid recent losses
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Chicago Bears have two reasons to be in a nasty mood - consecutive losses to Detroit and New Orleans.
The Giants have five reasons to be ornery — defeats in every game so far this season.
New York is 0-5 for the first time since the 1987 strike-interrupted season, and on merit. The Giants can't protect Eli Manning, who has been looking around for where the rush is coming almost as much as he's been concentrating on receivers downfield. New York already has 20 turnovers, on pace to set a humiliating league record, and Manning has been picked 12 times. Plus, the Giants can't run the ball, and their only real threat at running back, David Wilson, won't play Thursday night because of a neck problem.
On defense, the Giants rank 26th and can't manufacture a pass rush. The secondary has been a mess and is ravaged by injuries. Not a pretty picture.
"You just keep working and keep
"You just keep working and keep trying to improve and find out the mistakes I'm making and correct those."

trying to improve and find out the mistakes I'm making and correct those," Manning said. "If there are mistakes within the offense that are mental, if there are things we
ELI MANNING Giants quarterback
Chicago's level hasn't been very high since winning its first three games. It can't have helped the Bears' mindset that top receiver Brandon Marshall complained about not seeing the ball enough after teammate Alshon jeffery set a Bears record with 218 yards receiving.
"Two weeks ago in Detroit, we didn't take care of the football," first-year coach Marc Trestman said. "We moved the football, but didn't take care of the football. Our defense turned it over for us and we didn't take advantage of that." "Last week, we had a poor start. We weren't consistent throughout the game."

Steen's late goal lifts Blues over Chicago Blackhawks
ST. LOUIS — Alexander Steen's slap shot with 21.1 seconds remaining beat Chicago goalie Corey Crawford and gave the St. Louis Blues a 3-2 win over the Blackhawks on Wednesday night. Steen broke down the left side as part of a 3-on-1 rush. He kept the puck and let go a drive from just inside the circle that trickled through Crawford.
St. Louis Blues' David Backes scores against the Blackhawks on Oct. 9
The Blues (3-0) matched their best start to a season, also done in the 1969-70 and 1993-94 campaigns. Jaroslav Halak made 26 saves in his third straight win. Vladimir Tarasenko and David Backes also scored for St. Louis. Patrick Kane scored for the third straight game for the Blackhawks, and Jonathan Toews had the other Chicago goal. Crawford made 31 saves.

STARTING LINEUP
OFFENSE
TCU is young on the offensive side of the ball. Coach Gary Patterson told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that the offense is still adjusting to the speed of the game. Senior quarterback Casey Pachall has been out for most of the season after having surgery on his injured left arm. Sophomore quarterback Treone Boykin is a quarterback that can scramble out of the pocket, but he has to improve his vision downfield in the passing game.

SPECIAL TEAMS
TCU has some outstanding returners with BJ. Catalon and Brandon Carter. The Horned Frogs ran in the top five nationally in kickoff return yards and top 20 in punt return yards. The kicking game is also solid for TCU, as Jaden Oberkrom has made 11 of his last 13 field goal attempts and 59 straight point-after attempts dating back to last season.
AT A GLANCE
Schematically the Horned Frogs are pretty straightforward. They don't run many trick plays, or line up in different formations on either side of the ball. But expect to see a talented and physical team, especially on defense, take the field against Kansas on Saturday.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF
TCU's defense overwhelms Kansas' offensive line and puts pressure on Jake Heaps. The secondary of TCU will force Heaps to be as accurate as possible, and if he is having to run out of the pocket at the same time then the Jayhawks will not have much chance to move the ball with any consistency.
QUESTION MARKS
Can TCU get a passing game going? Like Kansas, TCU will need to move the ball and give its defense some rest on the sidelines. There are no questions concerning the TCU defense, besides whether or not
star lineman Devonte Fields will be healthy enough to play.
DEFENSE
The defense is the foundation of the TCU team, and they likely will not do anything to surprise the Kansas coaches. The Horned Frogs defense is just a tough, solid unit. In five games TCU is tied for fourth in the nation with 18 sacks, and seventh in the nation with nine interceptions.
Cornerback Jason Verrett is the active leader in tackles (143) and interceptions (7) for TCU, and leads one of the top secondaries in the nation. Since the start of the 2012 season, Verrett leads the nation in most passes defended.

PLAYER TO WATCH
COACHING
Gary Patterson has 118 wins at TCU, which ranks fourth in the Big 12 in coaches at their current school and seventh nationally. Patterson coaches a team built around toughness and strong defense.
MOMENTUM
Right now, the Horned Frogs don't have much momentum coming off of a three-point loss to Oklahoma. TCU has a 2-3 record and will be looking to get the offense rolling. Trevone Boykin has shown his running ability, but will be looking to gain some chemistry with his receivers.

STARTING LINEUP
OFFENSE
Kansas' offense sputtered after the first quarter against Texas Tech. Kansas ranks 107th in the country in yards per game and is still configuring things at the wide receiver position as senior Josh Ford and junior Andrew Turzilli are the new starters this week. There were also some shakeups in the offensive line as it looks to buy junior quarterback Jake Heaps more time and receivers to find more space. With Tony Pierson out, the running game, which was nonexistent against Texas Tech, should be a bigger priority this week.

The Jayhawks' defense has had its fair share of up and downs this season and endured a rough three quarters last week against Tech after shutting them out in the first quarter. While junior linebacker Ben Heeney is having a colossal season, the secondary was tested last week and didn't perform favorably, giving up more than 500 yards. The defense will have to keep the TCU offense in front of them as their only chance of winning is to gut out a low-scoring, gritty about.

PREDICTION FOR KANSAS 42-20 TCU KANSAS
BY THE NUMBERS
13 Combined number of passes broken up by JaCorey Shepherd and Dexter McDonald.
54. 3 Yards per punt by Trevor Pardula.
SPECIAL TEAMS
5. 1 Sacks by TCU, which is the best in the Big 12.
Junior kicker Trevor Pardula blasts punts like it's an ordinary thing and probably will see the same amount of action come Saturday. Field position could play a crucial role and special teams, while it hasn't been terrible this year, needs to capitalize on opportunities to squeeze every yard of field position possible.
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
Kansas can keep it close. TCU is nowhere near a powerhouse, but it's still a respectable team. Saying TCU's offense won't do anything just doesn't hold any weight after Kansas' defensive performance last week. If the Jayhawks can grind it out without everything turning against them, whether in a win or loss, they should be proud of that on the road.
COACHING
PLAYER TO WATCH
Charlie Weis is coming off a demoralizing loss and needs to have some close games to warrant another year, at least in some Kansas fans' minds. Weis had some mishaps, including a disastrous fake punt. The easy mistakes can't happen for a team that's already digging deep with their lack of firepower. Weis' opportunity to win a Big 12 game and to break the 20-game road losing streak presents itself once again. Not an easy task, but things have to start changing soon for Weis to get everyone to start buying in.
AT A GLANCE
Andrew Turzilli has taken over the Z receiver spot in place of sophomore Tre' Parmalee and junior Rodriguez Coleman. Kansas has yet to see breakaway speed from their receiving corps and no one has consistently been able to get past the first line of defense. Turzilli displays some speed and physicality, something Kansas receivers have trouble with. If Turzilli can't do much, then this Kansas offense is probably never going to take a step forward into a capable offense.
TCU coach Gary Patterson looks to get his first win of the Big 12 season and get back on track after a tough loss against Oklahoma. Kansas hasn't played TCU on the road since 1996 and also looks to get its first conference win. TCU has won 30 of 35 last home games and is 60-11 under Gary Patterson.
After getting walloped last week, Kansas is still trying to get their first conference win, and winning on the road versus TCU would make things go a little bit smoother in Lawrence.
MOMENTUM
QUESTION MARKS
Can Kansas stay in the rhythm of the game? When your team is in the learning stages of how to finish a game and just stay even-keeled, little things such as staying in the game the whole time without too many errors can be encouraging.

James Sims stays positive despite conference losses
CHRIS HYBL
chybl@kansan.co
chvbl@kansan.com
Of the teams currently in the Big 12, senior running back James Sims hasn't beaten any of them.
And it's almost hard to place any blame for that on him. Sims has been Mr. Consistency for Kansas from his first appearance in the red and blue. In his first three years, Sims averaged 4.4, 4.0 and 4.6 yards, respectively, all while averaging over 14 carries per game in each year. He's had nine touchdowns in each of his three years.
The only problem? Sims' play hasn't been reflective of his teams'. At all. He can count the total number of wins he's participated in at Kansas with his fingers.
And now Sims is in a situation he's relatively familiar with: getting beat in the team's first conference game of the season. In the last three years, Kansas has lost its first game by an average just over 31 points. In those same three years, Kansas has lost the second conference game by an average of 32 points.
Things have been ugly for the Jayhawks early in conference play. And with fans already beginning to associate this year's season with the last, Sims is dealing with another consistency: a doubtful fan base.
"We are just 2-2 and everybody who doubts us can doubt us all they
want, but we have a lot of football left to play," Sims said. "I just want to leave this program on a positive note. On the winning side. That's my goal."
But it's more than a few speed bumps for Sims to get what he wants. It's an obstacle course. In an offense that has struggled to find an identity, behind a shaky offensive line, for a team with a dwindling fanbase, Sims has as much hope as ever.
"We've been leaving no doubt in
"...everybody who doubts us can doubt us all they want, but we have a lot of football left to play."
JAMES SIMS Senior running back
each others' mind that we can win this game and it's just about going out and executing," Sims said.
He's positive about the shaky offensive line.
"They haven't been playing the greatest but I know they can get the job done." Sims said. "But I think this is going to be a dramatic change for them upfront and they'll get the job done."
He's positive about an unproven
passing game.
passing game.
"I think the teams are still coming in, looking to stop the run and having us beat them with the pass," Sims said. "If we get the running and passing game going, we're going to be hard to stop."
Sims is a firm believer of having positive energy.
"You just have to keep a positive energy for the team," Sims said. "Obviously this last weekend against Texas Tech wasn't the outcome we wanted. We just didn't finish the game as a team. We're 2-2 so I basically feel like we're 0-0."
If there's one thing Sims has learned in his career, it's that worrying about the past will do nothing for you. It's about what's ahead, and what's ahead for this week is 2-3 Texas Christian University squad. A squad that has shown it can be susceptible to the run.
TCU has allowed over 195 rushing yards in three separate games this season. They've held the other two opponents to under 50.
Sims will be playing in front of his family who will make the 35-minute drive from Irving, Texas, to TCU's Amon G. Carter Stadium on Saturday.
Sims is optimistic for Saturday, for the season and for his team. He doesn't believe in pessimism.

St. Louis Cardinals beat Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Adam Wainwright went all the way and the St. Louis Cardinals got two-run homers from David Freese and Matt Adams to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 on Wednesday night, advancing to the NL championship series.
Wainwright scattered eight hits in his second dominant win of the division series, coming through for the Cardinals in a winner-take-all Game 5.
St. Louis gets to stay at home to open the NLCS against the well-rested Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.
Freese homered in the second inning off rookie Gerrit Cole and Adams connected in the eighth against reliever Mark Melancon to make it 5-1. Pete Kozma added an RBI field single, and Wainwright finished it off by striking out Pedro Alvarez with two on.
The last three seasons, the Cardinals are 8-1 when facing elimination. They also won Game 5 of the NL division series at Washington last year and at Philadelphia in 2011.
Alvarez became the first player
with an NFI in his first six postseason games on a fluke hit that caromed off first base in the seventh. But the Pirates were held to one run in each of the final two games in their first playoff appearance in 21 years. They haven't won a post-season series since the 1979 World Series.
The 23-year-old Cole beat the Cardinals with an impressive effort in Game 2. They got to him early this time even though his fastball hit 100 mph in the first inning against Matt Holliday.
Freese made the kid pay for a full-count walk to Jon Jay with two outs in the second, lining a 1-2 pitch into the visitors' bullpen in left.
The Pirates had the bulpen up in the fourth after Yadier Molina's infield hit and a throwing error put runners on second and third. Cole gave up just three hits over five innings, but was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the sixth.
Freese struggled this season to overcome a back injury in spring training and had nine homers and 60 RBIs. But just like teammate Carlos Beltran, he's an October star with seven homers, 29 RBIs and a .325 average in 36 career postseason games.
Adams' power hitting helped the Cardinals overcame a mid-foot sprain to cleanup man Allen Craig in early September and he hammered a first-pitch fastball from Melancon well over the right-field wall for his first RBIs of the series.
The Pirates scratched out their lone run on two infield hits and the single by Alvarez that looked to be a harmless inning-ending ground-out before it hit the bag.
Freese was a hometown hero in 2011, both the NLCS and World Series MVP. He singlehandedly got the Cardinals to Game 7 of that World Series with a two-run triple with two outs and two strikes in the ninth and then ended Game 6 with a leadoff homer in the 11th.
The snapshot moment from the title run came when Freese joyously flung his helmet between the legs a few steps from the celebration waiting at the plate.
At 23 years, 31 days, Cole was the youngest NL pitcher to start Game 5 of a division series and the fifth-youngest NL pitcher to start a winner-take-all postseason game, according to STATS.

Jayhawks look to continue winning streak against Texas
BRIAN HILLIX
bhillix@kansan.com
As of Wednesday morning, only two Big 12 teams remain undefeated in conference play. That will change Saturday as the Jayhawks (13-3, 3-0) take on the defending national champion Texas Longhorns (10-2, 3-0) at Horejsi Family Athletics Center at 6:30 p.m.
Currently ranked No. 3 in the nation, the Longhorns handed the Jayhawks their lone regular season home loss last season. Texas defeated Kansas in five sets, 20-25, 25-15, 22-25, 25-16, 15-12, to sweep the season series. The Longhorns went on to finish first in the conference and were picked by coaches in the preseason to repeat this season.
Kansas will ride a ten-match winning streak into Saturday's contest. The Jayhawks currently lead the Big 12 in hitting percentage, assists, blocks and kills.
The Jayhawks continue to receive weekly awards from the Big 12. This week, junior outside hitter Sara McClinton was
named the Offensive Player of the Week and freshman middle blocker Tayler Soucie earned the Defensive Player of the Week honor.
McClinton delivered one of the best performances of the season against Baylor after recording 23 kills and zero errors. In two matches last week, she totaled a conference-leading 5.14 kills per set while leading the Jayhawks in kills in both matches. Soucie, who now leads the Big 12 in blocks per set with 1.40, earned 16 blocks in two matches. Her nine blocks against Baylor ties for fourth most in a conference match this season.
The Longhorns have a talented freshman middle blocker of their own. Chiaka Ogbogu has been named the Big 12 Rookie of the Week for the second consecutive week after reaching double-digit kills in her last two matches.
Kansas' defense will have to find a way to stop preseason Big 12 Player of the Year Haley Eckerman, a junior outside hitter. She currently ranks fourth in the conference with 3.49 kills per set
while teammate Bailey Webster, a senior outside hitter, ranks eighth with 3.17 kills per set. Texas comes into to the match with a .26 hitting percentage, the second highest mark in the conference behind Kansas' .266.
Both teams will be battle-tested coming into the match. Texas has played five teams currently ranked in the Top 12 of the American Coaches Volleyball Association poll and has gone 4-1 in those matches. Kansas defeated Wisconsin, now ranked No.19, on the road in five sets and will have played three teams receiving votes.
Kansas continues to receive votes in the AVCA poll. The Jayhawks defeated Baylor in four sets on Saturday to remain perfect in the Big 12.

After their victory against Oklahoma on Wednesday, the Jayhawks now boast a 10-game winning streak. Kansas plays Texas this Saturday at home at 6:30 p.m.
Kansas (14-3) increased its winning streak to 10 matches as it defeated the Oklahoma Sooners (14-4) 25-23, 25-15, 25-23 on Wednesday in Lawrence at the Horesei Family Athletics Center.
Junior outside hitter Sara McClinton backed up her stellar play at Baylor to knock down a game-high 16 kills with a .438 hitting percentage. She continues to climb the conference leaderboard in the kills department as she now stands at fifth with 3.45 kills per set.
"It's always been a goal of mine
to lead the Big 12," McClinton said. "I know my personal goals can help the team, but the team goals come first."
of hard work," Albers said. "Especially in the league that we're in and how many competitive teams we're playing."
The Sooners built an early five-point lead in the first set as they led 12-7 and forced a Kansas timeout. Oklahoma stretched the lead to six later as it pushed ahead 17-11. Behind two kills each from redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, McClinton and sophomore outside hitter Tiana Dockery, the Jayhawks chipped away to force an Oklahoma timeout. Down 20-23, the Jayhawks roared back and took the last five points of the set to claim the set 25-23, highlight-
Those goals include excelling in a highly competitive conference that features Texas (11-2), the defending national champion who the Jayhawks face on Saturday. Both teams are 4-0 as each team has only lost one set in conference play this season.
"it's a big accomplishment to have 10 straight wins, and to go a month without losing is a lot of hard work."

"We've set some pretty high goals for the conference," coach Ray Bechard said.
This marks the first time since 2001 that a winning streak has reached double-digits. Junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers isn't taking the streak for granted by a Jarmoc block on set point. Strong serving from redshirt freshman Maggie Anderson aided the run, Kansas' outside hitters—Dockery, McClinton and

Albers—combined for 14 kills on the set led by Dockery's six on a .417 hitting percentage.
A dominant performance on both offense and defense powered the Jayhawks in the second set. With momentum from the first set, the Jayhawks built a 13-5 lead behind four kills and two blocks from larmoc and strong serving from freshman defensive specialist Cassie Wait. Four kills by McClinton and three blocks by Soucie increased the lead to ten as the Jayhawks led 21-11. A service ace by Anderson clinched the set 25-15. McClinton's seven kills in the set led both teams
and libero Brianne Riley again reached double-digit digs in a match with 15 after the second set.
"There wasn't much going right [at the beginning of the match]," Bechard said. "But you could feel us building momentum late in the first set. Little by little we started making better plays."
The Sooners came out of the break to win the first three points
of the third set and take a 9-3 lead. Four Jarmoc kills and two by McClinton erased the lead as the Jayhawks went on a 7-0 run to take a 13-10 lead. Oklahoma fought back to tie the match as the teams went back and forth the rest of the way. Tied at 23-23, an Albers tip shot, and an attack error by Oklahoma gave Kansas the set 25-23.
in digs this season, but that didn't stop the Jayhawks from hitting a solid .347 for the match. The Jayhawks outhit the Sooners and finished with 52 kills compared to Oklahoma's 38. The 52 kills are the second most this season for Kansas in a three-set match.
Senior setter Erin McNorton tallied 48 assists, which is the highest total in a three-set match in the conference this season. Al-
bers and larmoc chipped in with 11 kills each, and Riley finished with 17 digs.
Kansas and Texas will put their undefeated conference records on the line on Saturday at Horeksi Family Athletics Center at 6:30 p.m. The Longhorns come in with a winning streak of their own having won their last seven matches.

The Kansas swim team will head to Colorado Springs, Colo., this weekend to compete against the Air Force Academy swim team. This will be the first official meet for the Kansas team. On Oct. 3, the team competed in an intrasquad to kick off the season and get back in the water.
ASSOCAITED PRESS
The team will compete at 1 p.m. this Saturday. Standout performers from last week include senior co-captain Morgan Sharp, freshmen Allison Merecka, Leah Pfitzer and Lindsay Manning, and sophomore Bryce Hinde.
Hinde, from Fulton, performed well at a last Thursday's intrasquad with a first place finish in the 50-yard breaststroke with a time of
29. 82 and a first place finish in the 150-yard breaststroke with 1:42.79. This weekend, she would like a repeat.
Oakland Athletics right fielder Josh Reddick stretches but is unable to catch a solo home run by Detroit Tigers' Victor Martinez during the seventh inning of Game 4 of baseball's American League division series in Detroit on oct. 8. The Tigers won 8-6.
One of the goals for coach Clark Campbell is to get Hinde and several other swimmers to the NCAA championships this February.
"I would like to do the same, win both of my breaststroke events and if I'm swimming the IM [individual medley] place high in that event as well," Hinde said. "And hopefully take on the title for the meet against the Air Force Academy."
"I know that it's going to take dedication and 120 percent every single day to get there." Hinde said.
The team goes into this meet with a disadvantage because of the altitude differences between Kansas and Colorado.
This will be the first meet against another school for the large freshman class of swimmers.
This Tuesday was the last of the regular land workouts the team has been doing. As the season progresses, the workouts will move almost entirely to the pool, but at the beginning the focus is getting in shape.
After the meet this weekend, the next one will be at Texas Christian University on Oct. 17 in Fort Worth, Texas. The next home meet is Nov. 2 at Robinson Natatorium against Nebraska-Omaha and North Dakota at 1 p.m.

Tigers rally past Oakland A's, Verlander set for Game 5
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Justin Verlander is again standing between the Oakland Athletics and the AL championship series.
But only after Max Scherzer — the man who supplanted Verlander as Detroit's top starter this year
— kept the Tigers' season alive with a relief outing to remember.
with a relief outing to remember. Scherzer escaped a major jam one inning after two fans reached out to try to reel in Victor Martinez's disputed home run, and the Tigers rallied past the Oakland Athletics 8-6 Tuesday to force a decisive fifth game in their AL division series.
game in here. Verlander will start at Oakland on Thursday night, almost a year to the day after he shut out the A's at the Coliseum in Game 5 of the division series last season. Scherzer was in line to start Game 5, but the 21-game winner came on Tuesday instead for his first relief appearance since the 2011 postseason. He wriggled out of a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the eighth inning and got the win.
"That was amazing," Verlander said. "He got himself in trouble and got himself out of it. That was pretty intense. I think all Tigers fans and Tigers players would have rather it be three up, three down, but it made for a great story, didn't it?"
Oakland hasn't announced a starter for Thursday. It is Bartolo Colon's turn in the postseason rotation, but rookie Sonny Gray could also come back on normal rest after a brilliant performance in Game 2.
We haven't decided anything vet, manager Bob Melvin said.
Playing catch-up most of the way in Game 4, the Tigers tied it first with Jhonny Peralta's three-run homer in the fifth and then on Martinez's solo shot in the seventh. A couple of fans attempted to catch Martinez's drive, and at least one of them bobbled the ball while reaching for it over the railing above the wall.
That prevented right fielder Josh Reddick from having any chance at a leaping grab. Reddick and center fielder Coco Crisp immediately protested, pointing up at the stands in the hope of a fan-interference call. But umpires upheld the home run after a replay review.
Gary Darling, the crew chief, wasumping in right field. He disagreed, even after the replay.
"I have no doubt I was going to catch that ball. When I looked at the replay, that's what I thought," Reddick said. "It's totally frustrating that a fan can influence the game."
"It was clear he was not going to catch the ball, so it was clearly going to be a home run," Darling said. "There wasn't any other evidence on replay to turn it another way."
Detroit manager Jim Leyland wasn't about to wait on a report
from the clubhouse for a replay of this magnitude.
"I usually wait for the guys to come out of the video room and let me know, but in this case, I went down there to look at it," Leyland said. "I was actually pretty relaxed because I saw the first replay they showed and I knew it was definitely a home run."
Scherzer came out of the bullden in the seventh and gave up a run, then ran into trouble again in the eighth. With the Tigers ahead 5-4, he allowed a walk and a double to start the inning. An intentional walk to load the bases followed, and Leyland opted to leave his ace on the mound.
Scherzer struck out Reddick, who swung and missed at what would have been ball four on a low, inside pitch. Stephen Vogt struck out too,
but pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo's line drive to left nearly fell in before landing foul.
Callaspo eventually lined out to center.
"My number was called. I was ready," Scherzer said. "I was trying to warm up the same way, try to do everything the same way and think of it as a start."
Detroit, held hitless through four innings in a game of twists and turns, added three runs in the eighth on a wild pitch and a two-run double by Omar Infante that made it 8-4.
Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run single in the ninth, bringing the potential tying run to the plate, but Joaquín Benoit struck out Seth Smith to end it.
We've got the right place for you.

Prosecutors in Hernandez case seek judge's recusal
Former New England Patriots NFL football player Aaron Hernandez attends a pretrial court hearing in Fall River, Mass., on Wednesday, Oct. 9. Hernandez was indicted in August in the killing of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player from Boston who was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend. He has pleaded not guilty.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FALL RIVER, Mass. — Prosecutors in the murder case against former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez want the judge to recuse herself because, they said Wednesday, she and the lead prosecutor have a public history of antagonism and she has shown bias.
McCauley did not detail his reasons in court, but a new filing cited a "well-known and publicly documented history of antagonism" between him and Garsh, stemming from a 2010 murder trial he argued before her.
Bristol County Assistant District Attorney William McCauley wants Judge Susan Garsh to remove herself from the case, he said during a hearing in Fall River Superior Court.
PRESS the
Though McCauley won a conviction in that case, he was quoted in the media as criticizing Garsh, saying she had unfairly limited or excluded evidence and exhibited hostility.
The filing said the friction would likely be exploited and sensationalized by the media in the high-profile case and could impair the ability of McCauley and Garsh to perform their sworn duties.
"This isn't a matter the Commonwealth takes lightly," McCauley told the judge.
Hernandez, 23, was indicted in August in the killing of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez's girlfriend. He pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and five weapons-related charges last month and is being held without bail at a county jail.
Hernandez attorney James Sultan said in court that the defense
would strenuously object to the recusal request when arguments are heard Oct. 21.
Outside court, another of his attorneys, Charles Rankin, declined to comment further. "We are very, very much looking forward to Aaron's day in court," he said.
The defense has said previously that prosecutors' case won't hold up during a jury trial and they are confident Hernandez will be exonerated.
Prosecutors allege Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd's killing because he was upset with him for talking to some people at a night-club with whom Hernandez had problems.
Garsh declined to comment, citing judicial ethics. She didn't address their history in the hearing.
McCauley has previously sought Garsh's recusal in a case. In a 2011 court filing, resubmitted Wednesday in support of the new request, he wrote that she had "exhibited antagonism and bias toward the prosecution throughout the (2010) case" and that he didn't believe she could be free of bias.
During Wednesday's hour-long hearing, Hernandez briefly took the witness stand to answer a string of questions from the judge about a possible conflict of interest in the case by another of his attorneys, Michael Fee. The wife of one of the prosecutors is a partner at the firm where Fee is also a partner.
The questioning was to ensure Hernandez knew of the potential conflict and still wished to be represented by Fee. He said he did.
Four others face charges in the case. Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, who are said to have been with Hernandez and Lloyd in a car on the night Lloyd was killed,
have been charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact.
According to prosecutors, Ortiz told authorities he did not see who shot Lloyd, but that Hernandez was alone with him before it happened. He initially told police a different story, saying both Hernandez and Wallace got out of the car at the industrial park in North Attleborough, Mass., where Lloyd's bullet-riddled body was found.
Hernandez's girlfriend, Shayanna Jenkins, has been indicted on a perjury charge but not yet been arraigned.
Wallace has pleaded not guilty. Ortiz has not yet been arraigned on the accessory charge but has pleaded not guilty to a gun charge.
Hernandez's cousin, Tanya Singleton, has been indicted on charges including conspiracy to commit accessory after the fact and criminal contempt. Prosecutors say she refused to testify before the grand jury hearing evidence in the case even though she was offered immunity. Singleton has pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Hernandez has also been linked to an investigation into a double homicide in Boston in 2012. While investigating Lloyd's death, police found a sport utility vehicle rented in Hernandez's name at the home of Hernandez's uncle in Bristol, Conn., that they had been wanted in connection with those killings.

Men's rowing sets sights on national championship
CLUB SPORTS
dharmsen@kansan.com
How about a little quick trivia:
what is the oldest intercollegiate sport in the history of the world?
Baseball? Not quite. Basketball?
Nice try. Football? Not even close.
I'll give you a hint; it was the first and only sport to derive from corporal punishment. Think Vikings.
If that didn't give it away, then I'm not sure what will.

GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Kansas rowers train at the Boathouse, located in Burcham Park on the banks of the Kansas River. The men's rowing team did well over the weekend at Head of the Oklahoma.
Yes, rowing is the oldest intercollegiate sport in the history of the world, dating back to the Egyptians. I didn't know that until I looked it up. I also didn't know that the University had a rowing team until I looked that up as well. And I also didn't know that Kansas men's rowing team will be competing for a national championship this coming May.
The Kansas men's rowing team had a successful few days on the water this past weekend, and now has its sights set on a national championship.
Just a few days ago, Kansas Crew traveled to Oklahoma City to compete in the Head of the Oklahoma Event. This Regatta, rowing race, included a variety of events and many Midwest teams including the Men's Collegiate 4+, which consists of four-man boats, and the Men's Collegiate 8+, which consists of
eight-man boats.
Third-year rowers Brad Wiltfong, Matthew George, Jon Gragg, Sam Rider and coxswain Dylan Shmalberg took home first four, the Men's Varsity Four. It was the first time the Kansas men had placed first at the Head of the Oklahoma.
"The win is big for our program and a great start to our season. This only brings us closer to our goal of a national championship."
JON GRAGG Junior rower
"It was unbelievable to compete at a collegiate level with crews across the nation and to be that successful," freshman Garrett Farlow said.
Head coach Jeremy Struemph was very pleased with the performance he got out of all boats, but especially the Men's Varsity Four.
"Several of our boats had solid showings," Streumph said. "Especially the men's Varsity 4+, which won its event, beating out teams from OCU, Texas, K-State, Wichita State and others."
lunior Jon Gragg stressed the
importance of the big win for the team looking forward.
Kansas looks to carry the momentum of this weekend into future races, and you can be a part of it.
"The win is big for our program and a great start to our season," Gragg said. "This only brings us closer to our goal of a national championship."
"Rowing has a huge influence in my life," senior coxwain Dylan Shmalberg said. "I have met a lot of great people, and every win is done as a team."
"Rowing is a unique balance of technique, teamwork and power," Brad Wiltfong said. "To succeed your body movements must be in harmony with everyone else's in the boat. It is not about comfort. It is about sacrifice and perseverance."
But it isn't for everybody. Rowing takes a special kind of person.
Since 1977, Kansas Crew has been a program offered at the University of Kansas for students interested in competitive rowing. There are no tryouts; however, there are club dues. If you are interested in rowing with the team, contact Treasurer Matthew George by phone at (913) 530-2006, or by email at kansascrew@gmail.com.

University professors use grant to help adopted children
School of Social Welfare Professors Alice Lieberman (pictured above) and Becci Akin received a $2.5 million grant to screen adopted children in order to improve treatment for past trauma

Two University professors are doing work that could help improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of children across Kansas and the entire country.
Alice Lieberman and Becci Akin, professors in the School of
Social Welfare, received a five year, $2.5 million grant to create a centralized system for the state that screens adopted children for trauma and better treats them for it.
In a time when the state legislature is cutting social service spending, Lieberman said it was crucial to bring in the large grant.
"It's important for us to bring the federal money in because it's a huge source of assistance to agencies that don't have the money to do the kind of training they'd like to do," Lieberman said. "I knew that I wanted to be helpful if I could and this is the one way I could do it."

The grant money comes from
Lieberman said many children in the foster care system carry traumatic experiences with them, such as physical or sexual abuse, neglect or living in prolonged periods of fear, that could begin to resurface during adolescent years. Lieberman and Akin's plan is to create an evidence-based system that detects the impact of the trauma on the children and allows social workers to evaluate their emotional state as the adoption progresses.
Lieberman thinks their work
will better prepare parents and adopted children for when the effects of trauma start to show and hopefully prevent the adoption from failing.

Student's design stands strong in international competition

Senior Leslie Montes' faucet design, Arc Tap, made the list of Spain's national finalists for the James Dyson Award competition.
Last year in her apartment in Spain, as her wet, slippery hands struggled to grip the faucet knobs to stop the running water, Leslie Montes asked herself: Why not make hand-washing a little bit easier?
Montes, a senior from Houston, spent the last school year studying abroad at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Madrid, where one of her industrial design classes challenged students to develop an "inclusive" design — one that the greatest range of users can utilize.
Montes, along with her project collaborator, Pablo Rocha, spent around three months refining a design: the "Arc Tap," an innovative take on the common kitchen or bathroom faucet. To turn the water on and off, the user simply pushes a lever back and forth instead of dealing with trying to twist knobs.
The Arc Tap also incorporates an integrated soap dispenser: the user can pull the water flow lever in a way that stops water flow and then dispenses soap. This ends up saving water.
Lastly, a main feature of the design is a thermal feedback system. An internal water circuit transmits the temperature of the water to the temperature control lever, so the user immediately knows what temperature water will come out of the faucet when they touch the lever.
The design is ideal for any user and is "easy and pleasant to use" even if they have motor or visual
impairments, said Whitnes. The students in the class were encouraged to enter their projects into an international design competition for engineering and industrial design students, the James Dyson Award, which prompt competitors to "design something that solves a problem."
impairments, said Montes.
“In class, usually the project ends, and that’s it. We had something bigger to work towards besides just a grade in a class.” Montes said. “We really believed that it was an interesting idea and that other people would see the merit of it, so we worked hard to make it better.”
Montes and Rocha ended up being the only ones in their class to enter the competition.
"She's kind of fearless," said Lance Rake, one of Montes' industrial design professors from the University of Kansas. "She's bold enough to try new things and is not afraid of success or failure. Some people are so afraid that they're not going to be accepted that they hold back, but that's not Leslie."
Montes said she gets her inspiration from products that utilize minimal design, particularly those from Japanese designers, and
Their project did not make the cut for the top 20 international entries, but they made the list of Spain's national finalists for the competition.

Despite Ad Astra winning as a coalition, Student Senate is considering a resolution eliminating coalitions from the election process.
Student Senate works to ban coalitions in future elections
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
Ad Astra campaigned for election reform and transparency in Student Senate and when the coalition beat long-reigning KUnited, Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler said students' voices were heard.
Today Senate committees will meet to discuss a resolution that would ban coalitions in the student election process.
"We had to build a coalition to
take down a coalition," Tetwiler said. "That's what we [Ad Astra] said we were going to do and we're looking to do that job."
Tetwiler said coalitions may have served a purpose in the past, but now coalitions are exclusive and limit individual students from being represented in Student Senate.
The resolution is part of a broader election reform package Tewilier hopes to pass in the coming weeks, but he said he understands it won't be easy, which is why the coalition resolution
When the resolution reaches the Senate floor, it'll provide a simple yes-or-no vote on coalitions, then authors of the election reform bill can tailor their bill based on the resolution vote.

New advancements have taken years to develop, but for Lawrence it wasn't necessarily a long wait.
The Lawrence Police Department sees more counterfeit $20 bills.
"We don't see a big problem with [counterfeits of] the existing $100 bill," Sgt. Trent McKinley, Lawrence Police Department Public Affairs Officer, said.
Officer Keith Jones, evidence officer for the Lawrence Police Department, has seen counterfeit bills as small as $5.
"Even though I'm a police officer, it boggles my mind what people get away with," tones said.
New security features on the $100 bill deter just that.

When it comes to counterfeits of the new bills, "I don't think we will see it at all," Sgt. McKinley said.
A sheet of uncut $100 bills makes their way through the printing process. The new $100 bill has an array of high-tech features designed to thwart countertiters.
The Lawrence Police Department works with banks in Lawrence to deter counterfeiting and has an online database that lets banks view police alerts.
America Almazar, store manager of Peoples Bank, has been banking for eight years and said she doesn't see much counterfeit in the area. The holiday seasons
are usually when people get desperate. So desperate that she's seen bills from a colored printer.
"On average we see one or two counterfeits of $100 bills per year," Almaraz said. When it comes to
$20 bills, that number increases to five per year.
Other areas may have a different response to the new $100 bill, Almaraz said.
"Maybe it will make a difference
[in big cities],but I don't know how much of a difference it will make here. "

as they can."
"Our hope is that the system we design will be a model for other states," Akin said. "What we think and hope it will do is increase evidence for the
entire field of child welfare in Kansas and beyond."
"What we see is if you don't address kids' mental health problems, they'll move around from place to place, and then it's next to impossible to find a family to care for them," Akin said. "So if you can create stability, we can reduce the number of times they have to move and reduce their use of institutional care like psychiatric hospitals."
Akin added that their grant project will save the state money as well, as it will lower the number of children the state has to provide for in the foster care system.
Because of the federal government shutdown, Lieberman and Akin have been limited in what they can do with their grant so far, but they plan to continue with the beginning stages of their project as soon as possible.

of Student Senate by creating specific groups that pass the torch from one generation to the next. Tetwiller said.
"All students should have an opportunity to participate," Tetwiler said. "Not just the ones I happen to know."
Tetwiler acknowledged that election reform, specifically this resolution, would be highly debated, but he said Student Senate could give more individuals an opportunity to be involved and share their ideas if the resolution passes.
Tyler Childress, Senate chief of staff and one of the authors of the election reform bill, said he wasn't always in favor of eliminating coalitions, but the more he worked with the election reform bill, the more he felt that coalitions do not allow for the most transparent and open elections possible.
"It'll foster more inclusion and make people feel more positive about the elections," Childress said.

The election reform bill will move forward regardless of the outcome of the coalition resolution, but Tetwiler and Childress agreed that eliminating coalitions would promote fairer elections and larger student participation with both Senate positions and voter turnout.
If the resolution passes, Childress plans to include language that will remove coalitions from the election process. If the resolution fails, coalitions will not be removed but will receive tighter restrictions like campaign spending caps and a shorter campaign period. As long as it passes committee votes this evening, full Senate will vote on the resolution on Oct.23.

Apple hires Burberry CEO to boost store sales
PENNELLIER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts speaks at the National Retail Federation's annual convention in New York on Jan. 18, 2012. Ahrendts will take charge of Apple's expansion plans and retail operation, as she will become a senior vice president at the company next spring.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Apple is entrusting the elegant stores that help define its brand to Angela Ahrendts, a respected executive who blended fashion sense with technological savvy to establish Burberry as a mark of luxury and success.
Silicon Valley's long-running reliance on men to make key decisions has come into sharper focus as online messaging service Twitter Inc. prepares to go public. Twitter's closely scrutinized IPO documents called attention to the San Francisco company's all-male board of directors and the presence of just one woman in its executive inner circle.
The hiring announced Tuesday is a coup for Apple Inc. Besides providing the Cupertino, Calif., company with another sharp mind, Ahrendts should help Apple deflect potential criticism about the lack of women in the upper ranks of its management.
Ahrendts will report directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook when she leaves Burberry to join Apple next spring in a newly created position of senior vice president in charge of retail and online stores.
Apple has one woman, former Avon Products Inc. CEO Andrea Jung, among the eight directors on its board.
In a memo sent Tuesday to Apple employees, Cook said he knew he wanted to hire Ahrendts from the time the two met in January and realized "she shares our values and our focus on innovation."
Ahrendts telegraphed her admiration of Apple in 2010 when The Wall Street Journal asked her if she was trying to mold Burberry into something similar to other luxury brands in the fashion industry.
"I don't look at Gucci or Chanel or anyone." Achrends told the Journal. "If I look to any company as a model, it's Apple. They're a brilliant design company working
---
to create a lifestyle and that's the way I see us."
Ahrendt's arrival comes at a crucial time for Apple and the stores that serve as the main showcase for its iPhones, iPads, iPods and Mac computers.
Like the rest of the company, Apple's stores aren't doing quite as well as they once were, primarily because tougher competition has forced the company to trim its prices.
For instance, in Apple's quarter ending in late June, average revenue per store declined 9 percent from the previous year to $10.1 million. Even more troubling, the retail division's operating profit for the quarter dropped 19
percent from last year to $667 million. Apple ended the period with 408 stores located in 13 countries.
The stores, which are staffed by nearly 42,000 workers, may have been suffering from a management void. Ron Johnson,a former Target Inc, executive
credited for turning Apple's stores into a thriving operation, left the company in 2011 to become CEO of C.J. Penney Co. Johnson's successor, John Browett, left
"If I look to any company as a model, it's Apple. They're a brilliant design company working to create a lifestyle."

The gray car was last seen westbound out of the parking lot.

Call out friends on bigoted Halloween costumes
O October is, in my humble and-entirely-embedded-in-incorrigible-fact
opinion, the best of all months. "Hocus Pocus" shows up on cable once more, pumpkin spice lattes become as widespread as the bubonic plague circa the 14th century, and I feel like I can jump into a sartorial paradise swathed in boots and scarves. Basically, October is the Beyonce of months. Even more so because October is the lucky host to my second favorite holiday, Halloween (the first being Amy Poehler's birthday). Yet, there is one thing that bums me out quite a bit concerning my most precious of months. Something that comes around every Halloween and not only bums me out, but seriously annoys, frustrates and even angers me.
Yall, a lot of folks choose to have really stupid bigly costumed costs. There are a lot of racist ones. Oh god, way too many racist ones — Pocahattans bedecked
in dreamcatchers and feathers,
Suicide Bombers with turbans
portraying all Muslims and Ar-
abs as terrorists, white kids from
Johnson County dressing up as
rappers and darkening their skin
aka doing blackface — these
examples turn people's races and
ethnicities into a hurtful costume.
And last year, I saw a lot of racist
costumes.
I also saw costumes that weren't just problematic because they were racist, but because they were homophobic, sexist and classist. In a particularly gross personal encounter, I was at party last Halloween where a dude came as a "Breast Cancer Examination Machine," all done up in a cardboard box and tinfoil with a convenient slot cut out for his hands to slip through. He came up to me, smiled, and asked "Would you like to get checked?" wiggling his hands at my chest level.

kgwynn@kansan.com
I politely informed him that I'd already reached my quota for gross misogyny for the day, but
thanks anyway.
A lot of you probably aren't going to have gross, dehumanizing costumes. A lot of you are going to go as super rad things, like Finn from Adventure Time or the Powerpuff Girls. Or, you'll just throw a sheet over your head last minute with eyeholes cut out. Whatever floats your non-bigoted boat. Keep riding the S.S. Not Being a Jerkwad at Halloween. But, the thing is, you most likely are going to have a run-in with at least one friend or acquaintance who didn't set sail on the same ship you did. Aka, they are Being a Huge Jerkwad because of their
costume, whether they are aware of it or not. And really, a surprising amount of people don't plan problematic costumes realizing they are problematic. They just wanted something funny or clever. They also just happen to live in a society where people regularly denigrated for their social classifications within power hierarchies, which leads us to think that things that are gross, i.e. transphobic, racist, ableist and so on, are "funny or clever."
So, what are you to do when your friend/acquaintance's definition of "funny or clever" leads to problematic costumes at Hallowen? Call it out.
Now, I wouldn't necessarily recommend just pointing to their costume and straight up saying "Hey yo, this is racist" or whatever fill-in-the-blank applies — or at least with at first. Bluntness works with some people, but most will probably shut down, as people tend to think of critiques of their problematic choices as personal
attacks, even though they aren't Engage them in conversation. Ask why they picked that costume. Ask them how they think a person from a marginalized group might be affected by their costume if they saw it. For example, if one of "Breast Cancer Examination Machine" dude's buddies had asked him if he thought women would feel uncomfortable or unsafe around a person wearing such a costume, maybe he would have thought twice about being a douchebag. And maybe he wouldn't have. Sometimes, people are in fact totally aware that they are being douchebags, and they actively continue to behave as such.
But if they're going to listen to anybody, it's probably someone who they would consider a friend.

Fear-mongering media drives wedge between American people
It is a common human trait, currently underlined by the seasonal swell of chain-saw wielding, hockey mask-laden horror superstars, to fear strangers. I don't speak of fear in terms of the purely explicit 'trembling in our boots,' or cold-sweated quivering behind drawn shades
By Erin Calhoun
ecalhoun@kansan.com
— I mean the pervasive tendency to distrust our neighbor and the tightly held belief that our greatest enemy lies outside of ourselves.
you don't need to go far to discover this sentiment — flip on the local news and you will undoubtedly be slapped with a tale of the horrors taking place one block over. Call an old friend — you'll hear at least one account of a friend-of-a-friend's sister being robbed at gunpoint while her children sat in the backseat. Easier yet, visit any social media site, any "news" app and amidst the "25 Reasons Nutella is Better than Friends" article, you won't have to move your eyes more than a fraction of a centimeter to find a story splattered with heart-wrenching personal interviews, photos, and videos depicting a tragedy of dark, twisted human proportions. And while the sagas of "Criminal Minds" FBI agents, Walter White and Detective Benson intrigue and wonderfully entertain us, they also create addictive narratives rooted in the supposed inherent blackness of humankind, and weekly at 8 p.m. on AMC they remind us that this evil is active and present. You can never be too careful.
I make no argument against fear itself. Fear is an intrinsic and essential capacity that is woven into our evolutionary makeup and equates our physical survival-
al. Fear — at its best — inspires our power to discern what is morally sound, what is consistent with our values, and what will foster our growth rather than stunt it. I argue against the modern manufactured fear, the fear misshapen by a media that operates under the principles of profit. The more vivid and gut-twistingly disturbing a story is, the better it sells; the more graphic and viral the cellphone video clips are, the higher the viewership. Thus is a warped relationship between desensitization and sensationalism: as we read and visually (not literally) experience a certain level of horror, the next story of the same caliber does nothing to shock us or peak our interest. The media is then inspired to churn out more outrageously gritty detail to stay in the game.
The modern manufactured fear I refer to has sprinted passively, spread by the simple actions of scrolling and absorbing. Narratives of dread unwillingly work their way into our collective habits — we know an abstract evil exists just around the corner, whether or not we've actually encountered it beyond our flat-screen TVs. So we lock our doors, clutch our pepper spray, screw in our headphones, avert our eyes and actively turn our attention not outwards.
but inwards. Inwards toward screens that incubate self-interest with an assuring white glow and a new batch of revisions: "Flesh-Eating Heroin Spreading to Suburbia (WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES)," "How To Spot A Member of the World's Most Deadly Street Gang," or "The Life of a Monster: Ariel Castro's Chilling Saga."
I by no means advocate ignorance. A healthy understanding of potential danger and knowledge of current events is crucial to being a good citizen. True, awareness of your surroundings may mean avoiding solo walks down dark alleys in the dead of night, it may mean keeping a close eye on your wallet, it may mean trusting your gut to know when to dismiss yourself from a situation. But awareness of your surroundings also means distinguishing between what you have merely heard through the grapevine to be true or what "CSI New York" told you to be true, from your actual experiences with the truth. This manmade fear alienates us from entire groups of people we deem "dangerous," it prohibits empathy and intimacy with the person sitting next to you on the train, it fosters a culture of judging passsby as possible threats on the scale of their appearance alone. Fear fashions an assumed distrust that contours our perceptions of others and saps the ties that bind our community. What I truly fear is a society fractionated and disenfranchised by habits colored not by their own experiences, but by stale, over-synthesized stereotypes, inflated and formulated for maximum scandal.

Irony can be powerful tool if used sparingly
If you haven't gathered from my previous columns, I am a huge David Foster Wallace fan. Today I'm going to finally cave and write a column about one of his nonfiction pieces. Hailing from the collection, "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again," DFW's essay "E Unibus Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction" may ostensibly be confined to the topics of television and fiction, but explores the deeper ramifications of what they imply about American society as a whole. Although it was written in 1993, much of what he observes about television is applicable to the internet today. Irony is dangerous. In grossly oversimplified terms, that's the main thrust of DFW's argument in this essay. Not only is it dangerous, but its overuse in society is cheapening the value of our interactions with one another. Television, he claims, isn't necessarily to blame, but is a good example of the prevalence of irony.
Remember that Super Bowl commercial for Hulu featuring Alec Baldwin, in which he reveals that Hulu is "an evil plot to destroy the world" by rotting our brains with television? It's dripping with irony. The audience knows that Hulu isn't an evil plot, and the advertisers at Hulu know that the audience knows, and it's funny. So what's the point? It sets up an in-joke between the advertisers and the watchers, which is intended to engender a sense of belonging or loyalty in the watcher. It shows that the advertisers think irony has mass appeal; in other words, it's become the norm in society.
Irony can be a powerful tool for change. For instance, Mark Twain's incisive irony in Huck Finn brought the racism of the South into sharp focus. Using irony in a satirical way is a great way to expose systemic flaws; however, what it can't do is propose constructive solutions to the problems. DFW puts it nicely: "... irony, entertaining as it is, serves an exclusively negative function.
By Jason Bates
jbates@kansan.com
Irony as a cultural norm, then, is dangerous because it is essentially negative. When irony is the norm, it becomes increasingly uncool to be serious about anything. If an ironist never means what he says, when can we ever have a meaningful conversation?
It's critical and destructive, a ground-clearing... But irony's singularly unuseful when it comes to constructing anything to replace the hypocrisies it debunks."
"Anyone with the heretic gall to ask an ironist what he actually stands for ends up looking like a hysteric or a prig," DFW avers.
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
Cue the internet phenomenon of "trolling." Read almost any Youtube comment section if you're unsure of what it means. Sadly, I've seen trolling bleed into real life. I've seen a lot of potentially good discussions about current events be derailed by a troll. It's selfish, because the only winners in the situation are the troll and those that realize what's going on. By choosing to feign indifference, the troll protects himself from having his own beliefs challenged, while those that are still trying to have an honest discussion are antagonized.
FFA OF THE DAY
I think one of the greatest opportunities we have here in a university environment is the chance to connect with a diverse range of people. Being able to see things from another person's perspective and compare it with and challenge our own is a worthwhile practice. Let's not let a culture of irony detract from these meaningful connections.

BUDGET
Park wisely to save cash, reward yourself instead
Next time you think about parking in a restricted lot, remember that there probably are better ways to spend $25 — the average fine for a parking ticket. Here are some better ways to spend your money:
MEGHAN KETCHAM
mketcham@kansan.com
It's only October and the KU Parking and Transit Department has already issued nearly 7,000 tickets. During the fall 2012 semester, KU Parking and Transit issued 8,205 tickets. During the fall 2011 semester, 9,421 parking tickets were written - this adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars paid by students to park illegally.
According to the KU Parking and Transit Department, 6,922 parking tickets have been issued already this semester.
Svlas & Maddy's
For $25, you can get around seven ice cream cones, which would
likely make you happier than parking in an illegal spot to avoid having to walk. Plus, walking will burn off the calories from the seven ice cream cones you ate. If you bring a friend on a Tuesday, you can double your ice cream if you show your KUID as part of the Tuesday buy one, get one free deal. That's a potential for 14 ice cream cones!
Noodles & Company
Noodles & Company You can get four regular-size bowls of noodles for about $25. That's four meals you can eat when you park legally. Food is always better than parking tickets. Always.
Beer (or soda)
You can buy a lot of beer with $25. So go crazy, but not too crazy. If you aren't of legal age (or choose not to drink), you can get two 24-packs of soda for around $25. Whether it's booze or fizz, it's likely to be better than a parking ticket.
Betta fish
Two chickens
Imagine having eight fish instead of a parking ticket. For around $3 at Petco, you can purchase a loving pet) fish. Of course, you will probably need to buy eight separate aquariums as well because Betta fish do not get along in groups. Having a new fishy friend (or eight) seems to be a better way to spend $25 than on a parking ticket. Nothing's betta' than a Betta fish!
EXPO
Instead of purchasing your own pet, you can use your $25 to buy two chickens for a family in a Third World country. You can send your money to a charity like World Vision and, for $25, you can buy two chickens or three ducks for a family.

Lied Center engages students through salvaged art project
SOPHIA TEMPLIN
stemplin@kansan.com
The Lied Center will be full of trash on Nov. 9. An upcoming production, "red, black & GREEN: a blues" by Marc Bamuthi Joseph, is unlike anything the stage at the Lied Center has ever seen. The show focuses on the environment, and the Lied Center plans to further engage University students through the building and creation of a sculptural piece from salvaged materials similar to the sets used for the show.
"When we have artists in for extended stays, we try to create ways to engage the artists with the community or the community with the artists," said Anthea Scouffas, the education and engagement director at the Lied Center. "Sometimes the artists will present a workshop or lead a discussion, sometimes it's us trying to create a project that relates to the work, like this piece with the found objects."
The production incorporates dance, music, video, storytelling, poetry and spoken word in a "hybrid" style rare to theater. With only four artists, "red, black & GREEN" tells stories of race, class, culture and environment in four different cities. Scouffas and Sarah Kunen, the Lied Center's student engagement coordinator, created the salvaged art project with the sets of the production in mind.
"We thought a visual work would be representative of the repurposed items used in the show," Scouffas said. "Marc's piece has
but one is that the set designed by Theaster Gates, a pretty well-known visual artist who creates work from found objects. So the set is really interesting and engaging alone."
Scouffias and Kunen work together to create engagement opportunities for students and the community so they have a chance to explore the work deeper than being just an audience member. With "red, black & GREEN," the Lied Center hopes to specifically engage University students.
"It's a piece we think students will enjoy, and there's also a lot of important conversation around the piece with race, class, culture and environment," Scouffas said.
For the salvaged art project, the Lied Center plans to get around 20 students involved. The project is open to all students, but is specifically aimed towards those in visual art, architecture, design, sculpture, fine arts, engineering, environmental studies, social justice studies and other related fields. The students will be working on the sculpture the whole week and will work with Joseph and the artists from "red, black & GREEN." Since the following week is National Recycling Week, students working on the sculpture are able to continue their work after the performance is over.
Film students are encouraged to get involved by creating a documentary of the sculpture process. The documentary will be attached to the Lied Center website. Students working on the sculpture will meet Joseph, get to see the
installation work of the set before the performance and receive free tickets. All interested participants are asked to sign up by emailing liedu@ku.edu by Oct. 18. Once complete, the Lied Center plans to give the sculpture to the University's Center of Sustainability.
"I think we're just going to let students go for it," Scouffas said. "We do have a few things they need to follow, but we really want the students to come up with a vision on their own."

Along with the salvaged art project, the "red, black and GREEN" company will be visiting classes and meeting with sustainability learning communities and students. Joseph will host a community round table event while in Lawrence. The Lied Center is also hosting a Sustainability Exhibition before the performance on Nov. 9.
The Sustainability Expo partners with the Center of Sustainability and the Lied Center by allowing all local sustainability groups to share their work with the community. The expo will feature the progress of the salvaged art sculpture as well as any program from the region that addresses sustainability. City groups, University student groups, green' schools, Boys and Girls Club and others are welcome to set up booths and present throughout the lobby space at the Lied Center.
"Our hope is that this project will combine departments, groups. organizations and people under the roof of art," Kunen said.

Nipsey Hussle's album delivers life lessons
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
The most interesting thing about California rapper Nipsey Hussle's latest mixtape "Crenshaw" isn't even the mixtape itself. The mixtape was released online for free, but fans could also purchase a physical copy for $100.
Although the price is steep, it also includes an autograph, Crenshaw merchandise and a ticket to a Nipsey Hussle concert. In support of Nipsey Hussle's innovative approach to selling his music, Jay-Z purchased 100 copies, which pocketed Hussle an easy $10,000.
With all that said, how does the world's first $100 mixtape stack up?
Throughout the 21-song mixtape, Nipsey displays his signature rugged flow. This is what makes him distinguishable from many other rappers out there. Nipsey Hussle has never been a great lyricist, but that doesn't make him a bad rapper. His delivery is where he shines. There's nobody quite
like Nipsey Hussle.
The mixtape features raps that balance between an attitude of braggadocio and one of introspection. Nipsey is solid at both, but is at his best when he's intrinsic and self-aware. This is prevalent on the standout track "Face the World," which features production from 9th Wonder. On this track Nipsey talks about how the actions you take either benefit or haunt your life. He even warns listeners against committing suicide. That is Nipsey Hussle at his best.
The production on the mixtape is solid. As previously mentioned, it features production from 9th Wonder as well as the Futuristics and Teeflii. Nipsey Hussle has a pretty good ear for beats, although at times the production gets repetitive and many of the songs sound eerily similar.
The main problem with the mixtape is that it's too long, which causes it to be repetitive. Nipsey runs out of ways to describe his lifestyle, which is typical for

rappers on long projects. Also, some of the features on the album are less than impressive and eat up space that should be reserved for Nipsey's best talent.
Even though it may be repetitive at times, "Crenshaw" is a solid effort. Nipsey Hussle continues to improve and it will be interesting to hear how his debut album "Victory Lap" will sound.

MOVIE REVIEW
GUNDERSON PRODUCTION
University graduate Harold Finch produces new film "Unlimited" about the possibility of infinite energy.
'Unlimited' offers engaging plot, stereotypical characters
MADDY MIKINSKI
mmikinski@kansan.com
What if there was a way to create energy from nothing? What if we were able to make electricity reach the most remote corners of the world without stringing up power lines? The new film "Unlimited" from executive producer and University graduate Harold Finch, turns these "what ifs" into realities.
"Unlimited" begins with Simon, a bloodied MIT dropout fleeing a somewhat zany Mexican drug cartel. After a harrowing chase, Simon is saved by Pedro, a worker at the local orphanage. While Simon recuperates, it is revealed that he's in Mexico to visit his former professor. They were collaborating on a revolutionary gizmo that could provide unlimited power to anyone, anywhere in the world.
It's implied that the drug cartel has gotten wind of the project and hopes to use it for — what else — evil.
Simon is helped along his path by Pedro, Pedro's beautiful, yet unavailable, sister Sophia and Harold, a characterized form of the producer played by "Law and Order" star Fred Thompson.
The characters of "Unlimited," though believable and well rounded, seem to fall into a movie archetype we've seen a few times before. Harold is the stereotypical, forgiving father figure whose unofficial motto is "Follow your dreams." Simon fits perfectly into the role of "egocentric city kid/ American who eventually grows a heart of gold." The characters of "Unlimited" are characters that fit into a mold created by other films. This time, they've just been transplanted into a Mexican orphanage
painted into a musican of plumage.
The plot of "Unlimited" is a different story, however, which poses the question, "If you had the power to make a difference, would you?" With his energy machine, Simon can dramatically alter the way the world gets energy. He has to decide whether the danger and the effort are worth it.
Spoiler alert: In the end he does and he's able to completely stop the drug cartel and supply the orphanage with their own renewable power source.
Though not new in all aspects, "Unlimited" is a captivating look at how one person with one invention can change the world.

Tina Fey, Amy Poehler to host Golden Globes in 2014, 2015
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Amy Poehler and Tina Fey will return to host the Golden Globes for the next two years, NBC announced Tuesday.
"Tina and Amy are two of the most talented comedic writer/performers in our business and they were a major reason the Golden Globes was the most entertaining awards show of last season," said Paul Telegdy, president of alternative and late-night programming at NBC, which broadcasts the Golden Globes. "We're elated they
wanted to host together again and that they committed for the next two years."
The duo hosted the show for the first time this year, earning rave reviews (from virtually everyone except Taylor Swift) for their playful performance, which included an ongoing gag about a made-up film called "Dog President." The telecast was a ratings success, too, generating 19.7 million viewers — the biggest Golden Globes audience in six years. Their banter was arguably the highlight of last
month's gloomy Emmys telecast. Both Poehler and Fey have longstanding ties to the peacock network, first as cast members on "Saturday Night Live," then as stars of the series "Parks and Recreation" and "30 Rock," respectively. Fey, who wrapped up her run on "30 Rock" in January, has a development deal with Universal Television and has already sold a pilot to NBC.
Poehler and Fey will return to the 71st annual Golden Globes on Jan. 12.

The Kansas women's soccer team is still scoreless in Big 12 play after falling to TCU 1-0 Friday. The same story keeps appearing — the team played well enough to win, but didn't finish.
TCU also came into the match scoreless and winless, but that changed in minute 17 of the match when midfielder Kelly Johnson scored her first goal of the season, off a corner kick. Kansas outshot TCU 13-3 in the second half, and 20-15 in the match. Sophomores Ashley Williams and Liana Salazar led the team with four shots each.

Boston holds off Tigers behind Lackey, bullpen
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — John Lackey edged Justin Verlander in the latest duel of these pitching-rich playoffs, and Boston's bullpen shut down Detroit's big boppers with the game on the line to lift the Red Sox over the Tigers 1-0 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the AL championship series.
Mike Napoli homered off Verlander in the seventh inning, and Detroit's best chance to rally fell short in the eighth when Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder struck out with runners at the corners. Despite three straight gems by their starters, the Tigers suddenly trail in a best-of-seven series they seemed to have complete control of only two days ago. Game 4 is Wednesday night at Comerica Park, with Jake Peavy scheduled to start for the Red Sox against Doug Fister.
Lackey allowed four hits in 62-3
It was the second 1-0 game in this matchup between the highest-scoring teams in the majors. That's been the theme throughout these playoffs, which have included four 1-0 scores and seven shutouts in the first 26 games.
innings, striking out eight without a walk in a game that was delayed 17 minutes in the second inning because lights on the stadium towers went out.
After rallying from a five-run deficit to even the series in Game 2, Boston came away with a win in Detroit against one of the game's best pitchers. The Tigers had a chance for their own comeback in the eighth when Austin Jackson drew a one-out walk and Torii Hunter followed with a single.
Napoli's homer was the first run allowed by Verlander since Sept. 18 — he pitched six scoreless innings in each of his last two starts in the regular season before
The Red Sox appeared to be in deep trouble when Detroit led 5-0 in Game 2, but David Ortiz tied it with an eighth-inning grand slam off closer Joaquin Benoit, and the Red Sox won it in the ninth.

Lackey did his best to keep pace, retiring 10 in a row before Peralta's double.

Sharp, Blackhawks beat Carolina 3-2 in shootout
RALEIGH, N.C. — Patrick Sharp scored in the shootout and the Chicago Blackhawks claimed the 2,500th victory in club history by beating the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 Tuesday night.
Sharp and Marian Hossa also scored 2:22 apart in the first period for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who blew a 2-0 lead in the third before winning in the tiebreaker.
Corey Crawford finished with 32 saves, then stopped three Carolina shooters in the shootout.
Crawford then stuffed Jeff Skinner to end it, making the Blackhawks the last of the Original Six to reach the 2,500-win mark.
Ward stopped 34 shots for Carolina, which wrapped up a winless three-game homestand against Western Conference teams but managed to earn two points during that stretch.
The Blackhawks appeared well on their way to an easy victory when they
took a two-goal lead into the third. Ron Hainsey tied it with 7:27 left when his blast from the blue line went through traffic — and between defenseman Michal Roszival's legs — on its way past Crawford. But that was the last puck to get past the Chicago goalie.
The Blackhawks, who entered having scored more than two goals only once since the opener, scored twice in the opening minutes.

That's an important question, Eric.
Natural gas has an excellent safety record, but faulty appliances, misuse and incidents can cause a leak. You can't see a leak,but a tell-tale odor of rotten eggs should alert you.
If you think you smell natural gas:
- Get everyone out of the building immediately leave the door open as you exit.
- Once outside, call 911 or the emergency number below. don't touch light switches, electrical
- As you leave, don't touch light switches, electrical appliances, phones or doors and windows. A spark of static electricity could ignite a leak.
- Wait well away from the building for emergency personnel.

Kansas fails to capitalize on TCU turnovers
CHRIS HYBL
chybl@kansan.com
It's an understatement to say that Kansas football had its chances against TCU Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium. TCU turned the ball over five times — three times in its own territory — but was still able to trump Kansas 27-17.
Of TCU's five turnovers, all of them were recovered inside of its own 40-yard line, but Kansas could only capitalize on three of them. Two interceptions, two fumbles and a punt made up the collection of TCU blunders, among them a 32-yard pick six interception from JaCorey Shepherd to tie the game at 10 in the second quarter.
"JaCorey was standing right in front of me and if he didn't intercept it, I might have tackled him," Weis said.
ball and TCU recovered at their own 47. In just over four minutes' time, TCU would add another touchdown to the score, bringing any momentum Kansas may have had to a screeching halt.
But Kansas didn't let things get "Texas Tech bad." After what looked to be another stint drive, TCU muffed a Trevor Pardula punt that Kansas recovered at the TCU 27.
Kansas' second play of its ensuing drive looked promising, when James Sims broke upfield off a pass from Jake Heaps. Sims had made it 30 yards before TCU defenders were in his area, but when he made an extra move, Sims fumbled the

Kansas made it to halftime at the same 10-10 score, but didn't hold that much longer. On the first play of the second half, TCU wide receiver David Porter received a pass in the flats, split Kansas defender Dexter McDonald and safety Cassius Sendish and was home free for a 75-yard touchdown pass. In 13 seconds, TCU was up 17-10.
"I feel like this is all on the offense to get more points on the board."
JIMMAY MUNDINE Junior tight end
Mundine on the following two plays, connecting on the latter one for a 27-yard touchdown pass to bring Kansas within striking distance.
"We went into the game saying that we were going to be conservative in this game," Weis said. "We are going to put ourselves in a position where we could win in the fourth quarter and we did that. We just weren't going to do what we did last week."
Despite a similar, limited production from the Kansas offense like last week against Texas Tech, the
Kansas defense was the only thing keeping the team close.
Kansas was able to turn a third-quarter fumble into a 27-yard touchdown reception by Mundine that brought Kansas within striking distance, but Kansas' incredibly stagnant offense was too big of a problem to overcome.
Of Kansas' final six drives, Heaps and company were able to convert only one first down, giving Kansas virtually no chance to win the game. Although Kansas may have looked to be in striking distance from the scoreboard, Kansas' offensive production in the first three quarters would indicate the opposite.
Not only did Kansas not score on two possessions where it took over inside TCU's 40, but of the 13 possessions where Kansas took over on its own side of the field, Kansas crossed midfield only once. When Kansas took over inside of its own 30-yard line, it crossed the 30 on only three of 12 possessions.
only three of the players.
"I feel like this is all on the offense to get more points on the board." Mundine said. "And we got to figure out something."
Kansas struggled to spread the field out with the absence of Tony Pierson. The Jayhawks ran the ball early and often with Sims, who finished with 81 yards on a season-high 23 carries. Kansas had plans to revolve around wide receiver Andrew Turzilli, but he was injured after his first catch, a 50-yard bomb, early in the second
quarter.
"We had a bunch of deep balls schemed in this game, and the first ball we throw to him — Turzilli
— he takes the ball away from the defender for a 50-yard gain." Weis said. "Yeah. It was a little depressing."
What is surprising is how the Jayhawks were able to stay in the game despite a knee injury to standout linebacker Ben Heeney in the first half. Schyler Miles came on his place, to help keep the defense together and ultimately to help keep Kansas in the football game.
"Ben is Ben," Miles said. "He's going to fly around and make plays, but I don't think the drop-off is too much. I felt like I did my job." It was clear that the defense did its job as well; it kept Kansas in the game.
"Definitely with the offense struggling lately, we knew that as a defense we had to capitalize and force turnovers," Miles said. "It ended up being that we got the pick six, and got a few forced fumbles and one on special teams, so we did our job as a defense I think."
Kansas will need to form cohesive units to stand a chance against a horrific streak of Big 12 teams. Oklahoma, Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma State, in that order, are up next for the Jayhawks. Cringe.

Fans cheer injury, players disappointed
On Oct. 9, angry Houston Texans fans yelled obscenities at Texans quarterback Matt Schaub's house
after Schaub threw his fourth pick-six in four consecutive games. But Houston fans didn't stop there.
Schaub injured his ankle after being sacked by St. Louis Rams defensive lineen Chris Long. Schaub did not return to play and the Texans lost their fourth straight game to the Rams 38-13. The Houston fan base's response to Schaub's inability to play because of his hurt ankle was positive — they cheered at his injury.
Before Schaub was hurt, the Texans were having a lot of team problems and losing 31-6. The Texans had lost two fumbles and Schaub threw for just 186 yards with no touchdowns and no interception.
Many feel that the Texans fans who cheered when Schaub appeared to be hurt showed no sportsmanship and were classless, and I agree. Duane Brown, who protects Schaub's blind side, also agrees.
"For the fans that cheered when he got hurt, that's disgusting," Brown said. "You can feel how you want about him as a

player, but this is his livelihood and how he provides for his family. When a man goes down and he is not able to get up, you don't know what is wrong with him at that point; that could be the last play of his career and for you to applaud at that ... I have no words for that."
The only person that should have been excited on the play is defensive end Chris Long, because the sack on Schaub is just his second sack of the season.
But he, too, wasn't happy about the fans cheering. After the game, Long tweeted his feelings about the Houston fans and his displeasure with himself for celebrating.
"If you were at Reliant Stadium and cheered Matt's injury, you are a poor representation of your fan base and a bad example to young fans." Long tweeted. "If I had known Matt was hurt I wouldn't have even celebrated the play. Wishing him a speedy recovery."
team is classless, but nothing new.
Last season, the then 1-4 Kansas City
Chiefs cheered when ex-Chiefs' quarterback Matt Cassel was injured during a 9-6 loss against the Baltimore Ravens.
Cassel was having a poor performance and throwing for only 96 vards.
Fans being happy for an injury to their
Ex-Chief Eric Winston made a comment after the Chiefs' loss to the Ravens about how the Chiefs fans commended Cassel getting hurt.
"But when you cheer, when you cheer somebody getting knocked out, I don't care who it is, and it just so happened to be Matt Cassel — it's sickening," Winston said after the 2012 Week 5 loss. "Hey, if he's not the best quarterback then he's not the best quarterback and that's OK. But he's a person. And he got knocked out in a game and we have 70,000 people cheering that he got knocked out?"
The Texans don't want to take the same route as the 2012-13 Chiefs, but the story is looking very similar.
Last season, the Chiefs had chronic quarterback woes, a pro-bowl running back and four pro-bowl defenders, but still ended
KU
the season 2-14.
Sound similar? Texans running back Arian Foster is the league's second leading rusher. The Texans defense is led by 2012 NFL defensive player of the year. Schaub is struggling this year as well.
The Texans have currently lost four consecutive games and will have to continue the season without Matt Schaub. Schaub's backup, third year quarterback T.J. Yates, threw two interceptions in the absence of Schaub.
The team is better with Schaub as their starting quarterback, but the Texans fans would disagree.

Kansas takes loss in stride, despite strong performances
The Kansas swim team fell short against the U.S. Air Force Academy in the first meet of the season. The Air Force was victorious over the Jayhawks with 154 to 146.
The Jayhawks traveled to Colorado Springs, Colo., for the meet on Saturday, Oct. 12, at the U.S. Air Force Academy Natatorium. It was the first official meet of the season and the first away test for the young Jayhawk team that
includes 11 freshmen and six sophomores. Coach Clark Campbell described

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY Weis can't fix offense alone
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Charlie Weis needs backup. He's already calling for extra help. Soon, he'll need to call for an offensive coordinator.
During Weis' Tuesday press conference, he announced a "drastic" change in how the Jayhawks run their offense. Weis will take a step back, allowing quarterback coach Ron Powlus to take charge of the passing game and tight ends coach Jeff Blasko to run the running game and the offensive line.
Weis certainly has the credentials to help these positions. He coached all of them in the National Football League with impressive results. He had to do something.
Weis said the changes will allow him more personal involvement in the skill positions, including wide receiver and quarterback, which have desperately struggled five games into the season.
After the season, he'll have to do something more. He'll have to give his offensive coordinator title to somebody else.
Last season, Kansas had the sixth-worst scoring offense in college football. Only Idaho, Illinois, Connecticut, Colorado and Kentucky finished worse than the Jayhawks. All five made changes at offensive coordinator.
This season, Weis' second chance to fix the offense is failing. The Jayhawks averaged 18.2 points per game last season. Right now, just two games into conference play, the Jayhawks are averaging 18.25 points per game. While it looks like minimal improvement, that number is likely to drop as Kansas dips further into the conference schedule.
Now, it must be said that Weis at offensive coordinator made sense when he first came to Kansas.
It is, however, likely that Weis took on more than he could handle when he got to Lawrence. Perhaps he didn't realize the damage inflicted during the Turner Gill era. Perhaps he thought Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps could morph into the studs they were promised to be. Regardless, the Jayhawks' offense is lagging behind an improving defense.
To clarify, this is not a 'fire Charlie Weis' statement. The program needs consistency these days more than anything. Weis needs to continue overseeing the team, but he needs more help with his offense. Kansas needs someone who's an expert on the spread, or at least someone more comfortable with it.
Former layhawk A.J. Steward, who played for Kansas through Mark Mangino and Turner Gill, said the coaching carousel has been too much. The program needs a steady force. For now, that must be Weis. Another former Jayhawk, Adrian Mayes, said it's very important for players to have the same coach around them for their four or five years.
"When you bring in a new coach and bring in a new system, it's tough for these kids," Mayes said.
Sure it is. Weis was very straightforward with his team's offensive issues Tuesday. If nothing changes, it's time to bring in backup.

Weis encourages communication in hopes of victory

CONNOR OBERKROM
coherkrm@kansan.com
At six weeks into the season, Kansas coach Charlie Weis is giving the offensive preparation process an overhaul, from strategies to coach meetings, in the hopes of more Jayhawk victories on the football field.
"I'm going to oversee the offense, I'm going to get more involved in the coaching of the skill positions, which I think has been lacked." Weis said.
Weis has relegated his play calling duties to quarterback coach Ron Powlus and tight end coach Jeff Blasko and will be handling the basics of the offense.
"No one knows more about what
a quarterback can and can't do than Ron [Powlus]; Weis said.
Weis is striving to model the newly introduced offense system after the Kansas defense, where defensive coordinator Dave Campo and linebacker coach Clint Bowen collaborate on strategy. Weis is hoping that modeling after their success will lift the sputtering offense from its rank as No. 115 in the country in total offense.
Weis has stressed all year that the skill positions, most notably the wide receivers, need to be more physical and starting this
This was Weis' way of showing that things need to change. Weis mentions that his role in influencing the offensive players has also changed for the better.
and how they can drive to greater heights.
His increased participation is a sign that things haven't panned out and haven't performed up to their expectations on offense.
week, he will have a chance to do that.
"It's a good thing for me, but it's not a good thing for them. There's different levels of hard coaching and mine is cranked up to the full gear." Weis said.
The main focal point that will change is that Weis will join the position meetings starting this week. This will help him gain a better familiarity about what goes on at each position in the offense
The offensive schemes have stayed the same and most of the position players have stayed constant outside of the regularly jumbled wide receiver spot. This week the wide receiver position features Justin McCay back at the starting X spot.
The communication of ideas between offensive coaches is undergoing a rehaul — instead of Weis dictating the game plan on Sundays during the offensive coaches' meetings, he's encouraging the coaches to give their own ideas on fixing the offense.
Andrew Turzilli, who is at third string Z position after playing as a starter, is listed as injured day-to-day and will be replaced by Josh Ford this week.
"There was a much greater exchange of offensive ideas than any
time I've been here," Weis said.
"Sometimes you hold in ideas because the offensive coordinator/ head coach already has a bunch of them on his own. So what I now do is I let them put all their stuff up. This is killing me to do it this way."
(    )
To start these changes and avoid confusion, Weis will be rehashing techniques with quarterbacks to make sure there are no "mis-nomers" on how to perform in the heat of the game.
"I'm doing it because I think Kansas football needs it," Weis said. "I really don't care about my ego, I just want to get better and win."

The No. 11 Kansas Jayhawks (14-4) will start their two-game road trip tonight against Texas Tech (8-12), after a 3-1 loss to defending national champions and currently No. 1 ranked Texas on Saturday. Kansas will try to bounce back at the United Spirit Arena in Lubbock, Texas.
Erin McNorton, left, and Taylor Soucie, right, block against Arkansas on Sept. 7. The Jayhawks play Texas Tech tonight
Senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc couldn't help the 12 Jahawks extend their 10-game winning streak during the 17-25, 26-24, 20-25, 15-25 loss against Texas. Jarmoc had a history-making night, but the Jahawks recorded a season low in hitting percentage (.106).
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Jarmoc passed former Kansas players Emily Brown (1,168; 2004-07) and Mary Beth Albrecht (1,171; 1996-99) to become sixth on the Kansas all-time kills list with 1,177 career kills. Also, Jarmoc recorded three blocks against Texas, which included her 500th block and moved her 15 blocks above Amanda Reves (514; 1996-99) to become the all-time leaders in lajhawk history.
In the shadows of Jarmoc's 500th block, she had only three
total blocks and the Jayhawks were outblocked 17-6 against Texas. In 2012, Jarmoc averaged 1.28 blocks per set, compared to 1.47 blocks per set during Big 12 play this season. The averages might fool some, but Jarmoc, who was part of the 2012 All-Big 12 first team, has struggled blocking in Big 12 conference games this season.
The Jayhawks are still averaging 2.78 blocks per set, which is first in the Big 12. Jarmoc is third in blocks during Big 12 conference games, but she isn't producing big time block performances similar to her dominating games in 2012.
This season, Jarmoc has only notched one double-digit block performance, and that game wasn't during any of the five Big 12 conference games that Kansas has played. Jarmoc's eight blocks against TCU on Sept. 28 was her high block total during Big 12 play this season.
"We'll bounce back — we need to have a good week next week,"
Jayhawks coach Ray Bechard thinks that Caroline Jarmoc and the Jayhawks will revive after a poor performance against the Longhorns.
Rechard said.
Who better to have as a rebound opponent than the Texas Tech Red Raiders?
Last season, Texas Tech was led by then-freshman outside hitter Lydia McKay, who had 11 kills against the Jayhawks. McKay will try to build on her success against Kansas to win their first match against a top-25 team this season. Texas Tech did win its first Big 12 conference game by knocking off
Last season, Jarmoc led the way with seven blocks and 11 kills against the Red Raiders, and the Jayhawks ended the game with 24 totals blocks as Kansas swept Texas Tech. Junior outside hitter Sara McClinton had nine kills against the Red Raiders last season too, and she will try to continue her

Riley will attempt to make her consecutive double-digit dig streak to 45 tonight against the Red Raiders.
McCinnon led the team in kills with 16 against Texas, making it four straight games with double-digit kills. Also, Brianne Riley extended her double-digit digs to 44 consecutive games.

Water skiing club heads to nationals

The braided ski rope whipped back into the 2008 Nautique, and the boat driver threw the throttle into neutral. Mary Hamilton, a sophomore from Bucyrus, released the rope's handle and sunk gracefully under the lake's surface. In a tournament, Hamilton would have been disqualified for this, but luckily it was only practice for the Sprayhawks, the University's water skiing club.
Last Friday, three members of the Sprayhawks visited the private docks of MoKan Lake, off K-10, for one final practice of the season. On Sunday, 12 of the 36 members headed out in an RV to sunny El Centro, Calif. for the Collegiate Water Ski Nationals. Today they will compete in slalom, trick and jump after having placed first in the region at previous tournaments.
"We're competing against teams that are on scholarship, so there's less pressure for us," said club president Abbey Bays, a junior from Lecompton. "We're a club sport. Everyone else has to take it seriously."
Until the week of Nationals, the team made it out to the waterfront nearly every day. They scattered the dock with water skis, wakeboards, vests and ropes. Between ski runs, individuals even worked on homework. The steam whistle sounding faintly in the distance offered a sufficient reminder that they still had class.
Fun and games aside, the Sprayhawks know how to get serious. Members of the club team are nationally ranked. According to USA Water Ski, Hamilton stands in ninth place and Bays holds seventh place in the Midwest trick category, determined by
“An ideal day would be when we all get out here at 2 p.m.”, Hamilton said. “It's sunny with no wind, we tan and everyone skis.”
conferences throughout the year. Given 20 seconds each run, Bays said she can perform 15 tricks on average.
Tricks can be performed on one ski, two skis or a wakeboard. One ski, or slalom skiing, earns more points for its difficulty.
In the slalom event, the boat driver must punch the throttle from zero to 34 mph to start off, and skiers maneuver sharply around buoys at speeds of more than 70 mph in a zigzag pattern.
Good form is key in order to prevent any injury. Straight arms, strong legs and a solid core pre- prevent wipeouts. Many members of the team, like Hamilton and Bays, started skiing at a young age and have developed their skills over many years. However, beginners shouldn't be intimidated.
Jake Waldenmeyer, a sophomore from Leawood, considers himself a newbie. Despite the girls' teasing, he insists on sporting a full body wetsuit. He said water temperature can drop to as low as 40 degrees.
"Such a chick," Bays said.
Teasing aside, Bays said the team is one big family. The club is student-motivated, and parents invest their time, money and offer hospitality.
"The guys who are letting us use the RV, Dylan and Drew Brittain, their parents come to every single tournament," Hamilton said. "They'll even make us breakfast, lunch and dinner."
In addition to packing equipment, members made sure to bring a variety of costumes for the Nationals tradition of themed dinners, like Aladdin and Mexico nights.

Ready, set, enroll
Follow these suggestions to get the schedule you want next semester
YU KYUNG LEE
ykyunglee@kansan.com
The dash for spring semester enrollment begin as honors students and athletes start enrolling today. The rest of the student body has some time before their enrollment appointment date. Seniors' enrollment dates are Oct. 22 and 23; juniors', Oct. 25 through 28; sophomores'. Oct. 30 through Nov. 8 and freshmen', Nov. 5 through 8.
Before the enrollment appointment date arrives, students have to have an appointment with an advisor from either the Undergraduate Advising Center or their specific department. Here are some tips and information to help guide students through the enrollment process.
HOW TO SIGN UP FOR CLASSES:
SIGN UP EARLY FOR AN ADVISING SESSION
Once students receive academic notice through email, they should log into their uPortal and look at the enrollment appointment time. Students should schedule an advising session before the enrollment time. After the notices are sent out, advising staff's schedules fills up pretty quickly, especially with advisors for specific degrees, such as engineering, nursing and business. Students can sign up for appointments online through uPortal's advising tab or contact the office directly through phone or email.
LOOK AHEAD AT NEXT SEMESTER'S SCHEDULE
The schedule for the next semester is already up; students can look at the times and make mock schedules. Doing so will give the advisor something to look at during the advising session. Students can also browse the University's website to narrow interests if they have several academic interests in mind.
BE HONEST IN THE ADVISING MEETING
Advisors will suggest next semester's schedule based on their assessment of students' success and adjustment to the current semester. Advisors want to get to know the student to best help, and students must be willing to communicate.
PUT CLASSES IN THE SHOPPING CART
DON'T PANIC IF SOME CLASSES FALL THROUGH
switching classes, even first week into next semester. That being said, students may want to have substitute classes as backup before the enrollment date so that they don't panic.
FOUR-YEAR PLAN
Before the actual date, students can actually put in classes they want in their Enroll & Pay shopping cart ahead of time. On the actual enrollment appointment time, students just need to press the "enroll" button on their shopping cart. Advisors suggest students do this so students have the best chance of getting their planned schedule next semester.
Between the time the semester ends and registration for classes begins in the spring, students can make an appointment with the advising office to make a four-year plan. Currently, advising sessions only last 30 minutes as advisors want to work with as many students as quickly as possible. Once enrollment is over, however, advisors will take hour-long appointments during which they can come up with detailed plan for the rest of students' academic career.
Students can always contact the Undergraduate Advising Center. Peer advisors will talk to students about alternative plans and
CHANGES TO THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS THIS YEAR:
ONLINE APPOINTMENT SYSTEM
This is the first year students can sign up for advising appointments online through uPortal. Online sign-up allows students to see all the available appointment times and sign up for a time that works best for them. Also, it saves the advising office time by reducing the time spent working out appointment times through phone calls, voice messages and emails. Students who have trouble getting appointments with their advisors before their enrollment appointment date should directly contact the advising office for an appointment.
SOPHOMORES CAN OPT IN TO KU CORE
While peer advisors had always provided help to students in managing stresses and choosing classes and teachers, starting this year, they can officially help students plan class schedules. Peer advisors will leave advising notes under student information on uPortal's advising tab. After a full-time advisor checks the notes, students advising hold will be lifted. Allowing peer advisors to discuss student schedules allows the advising office to be more immediate in their response to students needing immediate attention.
PEER ADVISORS
Juniors and seniors remain under General Education Degree Requirements while freshmen are under the new KU Core requirements. This year's sophomores can choose to opt into the KU Core. Under the KU Core, more classes across all academic fields will count toward degree progress. Incoming students with transfer students or students with many AP credits may be further along under the GED requirements than under the KU Core. Such students may benefit from remaining under GED system; KU Core is recommended for other students. Advisors can help evaluate whether GED or KU Core will better suit students.
1. Just a little bit of research before the enrollment session can help. Students with no idea on how to begin can contact peer advisors; they will point the students in the right direction.
TIPS FROM UNDERGRADUATE ADVISING
2. Remember the logistics when planning for classes. Is there time to eat, sleep, study for classes? Is there enough time between classes to get to the next class on time? Is there time for club activities or downtime? Having personal time is important.
3. Think two steps ahead. Some classes are only offered in the fall or the spring. Some classes have prerequisites. Students should look further than just the next semester, especially if they choose an academic field with very prescribed requirements.
4. Don't forget about right now. Even if next semester is all planned out, students still need to finish this semester well. Get help on planning the next semester and remember to spend time on working on this semester's goals.
5. Come talk to the advisors. They will give honest evaluation of student progress. They don't just help with enrollment. They are excellent sources of information and can point students in the right direction for more help.

I think a lot about self-esteem, which is to say that I wonder how I might come by more of it. Call it middle-child syndrome or whatever, but nothing I ever do feels good enough to take credit for. It's a vicious cycle, because the harder I try to attain perfection, the more unattainable it seems. But people need to see the value in the things that we are accomplishing every single day. We can let that be what drives us. Those little achievements can be fuel in the tank on the road of life.

There are days I don't want to get out of bed, but she is my inspiration. Every damn day is a battle to which she comes armed with a smile. If she can do that, I can drag myself out of bed by 9 a.m.

One of my teachers had handmade a card and gone out of her way to get my class to sign it (while I wasn't at school) with something that they liked about me, and I remember getting the card and just sitting and crying over it. One of my biggest regrets is that, to this day, I've not yet expressed how much that*
It isn't just things like that though. There are so many seemingly small things people do that make me feel just a bit better about the world I live in. Simple things. Picking up a piece of trash that they necessarily drop. Holding the door for someone. Smiling at someone for no reason other than possibly brightening their day. Making it to an 8 a.m. class. Looking before crossing the street, or maybe waving "thanks" to the car that had to slam on its

So let's keep doing great things for each other, and appreciate ourselves for doing so.

Hold government officials accountable at the polls
When I was a sophomore in high school, I met a holocaust
survivor living in my home town. She came to visit my honors English class, right after we had finished reading the novel "Night," by Elie Wiesel. Listening to her speak about her experiences was simultaneously heartbreaking and fascinating. As she sat there, recounting the horrors of her past, she gave the entire class a stern look and said something along the lines of: "Be careful who you pick as your leaders, because all it takes is one crook and the whole thing will crumble." I will never forget that.
By Tasha Cerny

At the time, my classmates and I thought that idea was a bit too paranoid—after all, isn't America based on a foundation of freedoms that inherently opposes tyranny? Had we not been learning about the government system of checks-and-balances set up to prevent a power overthrow since grade school? The idea seemed simply impossible.
Yet the older I get, the more I realize what she meant. As the government shutdown has clearly demonstrated, we need to pay attention to the leaders we elect. We are ill informed—more concerned with Hollywood scandal than public policy, more likely to base our political opinions on biased sources rather than facts. With the growing division between the Republican and Democratic parties, it's becoming more and more important
that people of our generation educate themselves on the issues and really start considering our future as a country.
future as a country.
Being an uneducated voter is dangerous. When you don't know the candidates you are voting for, it's easy to vote solely off party bias, or simply choose the names that look the most familiar, and this often means that the best candidates for the job aren't being chosen. Sometimes - especially in an eternally-red state like Kansas - two candidates from the same party might run, but one will switch party association so that both parties are represented. And voting by name recognition only means that you are probably choosing the candidate who had greatest campaign funds, not necessarily the candidate whose platforms you most agree with. And to top it off, sometimes these politicians are not even true natives to the state that they end up representing.
It's frustrating to think about the government shutdown and how powerless we are in preventing or fixing it. How
can we hold our politicians accountable when they are the ones who design and pass our bills and regulations? Their ability to exclude themselves from the consequences of their own legislation is, in itself, a form of corruption. I honestly think that if Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he would tell us (after having a massive stroke of shock upon seeing what our country has become) that "this is what your right to bear arms is for, people!"
But that may be an exaggeration. The truth is, this isn't the first time the government has shut down, and though it feels a whole lot like Congress is unable to fulfill the most basic of their duties, it would still be a bit ridiculous to resort to violence. However, though we don't have the power to simply upend congress at the moment, midterm elections will be upon us sooner than you think (about one year from now), and it is our duty as citizens to use this upcoming election as a way to hold Congress (and all of our political leaders) accountable.
So go online and do some research on your representatives, and find out whether you are happy with the job they are doing or not. And when midterm elections come around, don't forget to vote!

Social media enables users to create art
When was the last time you made a piece of art? Unless you have
art? Unless you have a creative hobby or an artistic major, your answer is probably "never." Yet in today's online world, average users are filling the roles of artists. Mass media has put the creative tools into everyone's hands.
Think about it. Some of the most visited websites in the world exist solely for user-generated content - Wikipedia, Blogspot, YouTube, eBay, Flickr and most importantly, social media sites. Without these websites and apps, people wouldn't be exposed to the world of multimedia.
When I was 12,I started making YouTube videos because I saw people doing cool things online and wanted to emulate them.My videos were absolutely horrible, but I was inspired. Now, I hold two jobs where I produce and teach video. Without the background of YouTube and Facebook, I never would have realized my passion for multimedia and journalism.
I know I'm not the only one; currently, 18-34 year olds are the highest proportion of smartphone users, meaning they have cameras and quick access to online posting. Over half of Facebook users are in the same demographic.
When I started out, I just had a point-and-shoot camera and the barebones Windows Movie Maker software to work with. As technology develops and social media grows, more people are learning how to create multimedia.
This has led to us broadcasting our lives as they happen, and arguments have arisen that social media is distracting us from our experiences. However, I think it becomes a cathartic part of our existence. Through writing.
The rise of Vine is a great example of creativity being expressed through social media. Vine's six-second parameters challenge us to think critically about how we will transmit our joke/thought/message. The convenience of a web app also lets anyone enjoy the satisfaction of producing a video.
By Dalton Boehm
dboehm@kansan.com
So what does this mean? Next time you're looking at yourself in the front facing camera, think about how you're capturing your life. Think about how you consume media. The markets will follow as younger generations who've grown up producing media hit the work force. Social media will continue to be an important part of our lives. How will it be a part of your life?
HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
vatton Boehm is a journalism major from Prairie Village.
Social media is constructed perfectly for this because of the instant feedback. People follow and like our content, or perhaps even share it with others. Immediate responses create a direct audience for our work that is vital for motivation. The more favorites or retweets you get, the more likely you are to continue to use Twitter.
With everyone producing at such a rapid rate, social media becomes an immersive experience. We see what others are creating and contribute to the cycle. Also, understanding what it takes to develop content causes us to raise our standards for what we consume. Look at television. In the era where overall viewership is declining, Breaking Bad broke records for the most watched television broadcast ever with 10.3 million viewers. Everyone is consuming. Additionally, Grand Theft Auto 5 sold over $1 billion in three days and broke the record for the highest revenue generated by an entertainment product in 24 hours.

Pearl Jam releases tenth album to suit many moods
Recycle this paper
After 23 years, one of the original grunge bands out of Seattle released their 10th full-length album this week. Pearl Jam, best known for their singles "Jeremy" and "Yellow Ledbetter," released "Lightning Bolt" on Tuesday on the band's own record label, Monkeywrench.
The album revisits the forever familiar sound that can be identified only as Pearl Jam, and—as always—most of the punch in the songs comes from the lyrical content composed by frontman Eddie Vedder, whose voice is commonly pseudo-trademarked to '90s rock bands from Seattle.

A renowned Berlin antiquities museum is trying to get back an ancient gold tablet excavated from an Assyrian temple that a Holocaust survivor somehow obtained after World War II.
Berlin museum seeks return of ancient Assyrian tablet
Who gets it is up to New York's top court, which is set to hear arguments Tuesday.
Riven Flamenbaum brought it to the U.S. after surviving the Auschwitz concentration camp and settling on Long Island. Family lore says he had traded two packs of cigarettes to a Russian soldier for the tablet in the chaotic days at the end of the war.
Steven Schlesinger, the lawyer representing the estate, said any claim is complicated by the passage of so much time and Flamenbaum's death. He said he believes Flamenbaum was trading Red Cross packages and anything else he could get for silver and gold.

The 9.5-gram tablet, about the size of a credit card, was excavated a century ago by German archaeologists from the Ishtar Temple in what is now northern Iraq. It went on display in Berlin in 1934, was put in storage as the war began and later disappeared.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Flamenbaum's family is trying to keep the 3,200-year-old relic, arguing the museum forfeited any claim to ownership by waiting 60 years to seek its return.
Lawyers for the Vorderasiatisches Museum, a branch of the Pergamon Museum, said it didn't know Flamenbaum had the tablet until 2006, three years after he died.

But lyrics aren't the only thing to talk about. As always, lead guitarist Mike McCready delivers the fast-paced sound on the second track, "Mind Your Manners," that is similar to the hard, upbeat sound of older Pearl Jam hits like "Go" and "Even Flow." These tracks provide a good change of pace as well as a variety for listeners to choose from depending on their mood.

The album sounds most similar to their previous release from 2009, "Backspacer," and in the last four years, it is evident that their sound has grown some—but not too much. The sound is still Pearl Jam, and for people who are already fans of Pearl Jam, that will probably be a good thing. With that being said, the album does not give way for developing a larger fan-base from those who are not already fans of Pearl Jam

October 21-27 will mark Student Union Activities' Zombie Week. This week will be full of events designed to get KU ready for any zombie attack. On Wednesday.
On Wednesday, October 23, at 7:00
pm, Max Brooks, author of World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide, will be speaking in Woodruff Auditorium on Level 5 of the Kansas Union. This event is free for everyone to attend, thanks to a co-sponsorship with the Lawrence Library. After the lecture, the KU Bookstores will be hosting a book signing so that you can take home your own copies of Max's books to ensure zombie preparedness.
If, you dare, SUA's weekly Tea at Three on Thursday, October 24, will have a special spin, as SUA's Culinary Committee will be providing "zombie vaccinations" in addition to their regular tea and cookies.
Finally, on Sunday, from 10:30 am to noon, October 27, SUA will truly test you preparedness with the jogging Dead 5K. This 5K starts in the Lied Center parking lot on West Campus, and will challenge your strength and endurance with a race and obstacle course, which includes infectious zombies whose objectives
will be to thwart your efforts to finish the run. "With zombies on the course throwing red color powder to infect the humans, this 5K will be unlike anything you've seen before," said Jason Fried, SUA's vice president of administration, a senior at KU. Registration is $10 for those with a KU Card, and $15 for the general public at the Programs Box Office located on Level 4 of the Kansas Union. Brave runners can also register on site the day of the event.
Throughout Zombie Week, SUA will be providing survival tips via social media and "Zombie Preparedness Kits" in case you cannot make it to the events. As SUA prepares for the worst, it has consulted the Center for Disease Control's Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response outline on what to do in the event of a zombie attack. "The CDC says if you are prepared to survive a zombie attack then you are prepared to survive anything," said Kailin DeJong, SUA's vice president of communication and a senior at KU. "We want everyone at KU to be prepared, or at least have had a great time throughout the process!"

Ten things students should know before turning 20
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
hsundermeyer@kansan.com
While I am not condoning ignoring your schoolwork and blowing your life savings at the Hawk, your college years consist of the few times in your life that you will have the chance to make reckless memories and face the world with your newfound independence. This Saturday, I will have been on this Earth for two decades. While I still have so much to experience and learn, there are a few things that we all should know before it's time to blow out those 20 candles.
1. MANAGE MONEY
Budgeting is absolutely the key to financial stability. While seemingly tedious and time consuming, if you sit down and organize your assets, you will be much less likely to blow it all in one place. Set aside certain amounts of money per month for groceries, gas, rent and other necessities. Avoid a debt hangover and be financially conscious whenever you can.
2. RELATIONSHIPS
Fall hopelessly, madly in love. And then change your mind. Stay single for a while, or take a leap of faith and ask out your crush. But above all, find someone that makes you happy and most importantly, respects you. Sometimes we just need to stop analyzing the past.
figuring out how we feel, deciding what we want, and simply just wait and see what happens.
3. MAKE MISTAKES
It may be cliche, but now is the time to live and learn. We are all going to experience our fair share of setbacks, but how we overcome and move on from life's obstacles defines our character.
4. COOK MORE THAN CEREAL
All sexist sandwich jokes aside, by the time you hit your twenties, girls AND boys should have a few solid recipes to fall back on.
5. STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
This can be the hardest aspect of life to overcome. Embrace your individuality, be thankful for what makes you different and realize that trying to please everyone is an impossible task.
6. WRITE A COVER LETTER
As our entrance into the competitive job market approaches, it is essential to have the knowledge to stand out from other applicants. There is no better opportunity to effectively convey your skills and all the reasons why you should be hired. While seemingly old fashioned, cover letters can make or break your first impression to an employer.
7. HOW TO DANCE
Develop a sense of rhythm and realize that twering is not a life skill — unless your career path is inspired by Miley Cyrus.
8. CALL YOUR PARENTS
While you may have not fully realized it yet, your family is ultimately the most influential and important people in your life. They are the ones who raised you, taught you right from wrong and gave you the skills to succeed. A simple phone call, text or email is worth far more than you know.
9. SAY YES TO NEW ADVENTURES
Even if it scares you a little bit, do it. Most things worthwhile in life probably will. Your 20s are the perfect time to explore and find yourself. Don't worry about settling down or making big life decisions. Study abroad or road trip to the beach with your friends. Don't stay tied down to anyone or anything.
10. APPRECIATE FRIENDSHIPS
Enjoy the closeness you feel with your friends while it lasts, because as the years pass, you may lose contact with the people you associated with in high school and college. Cherish every second as your friends are the ones who will have a significant impact on your life.

POMPEI
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this undated handout photo provided by the Belgian government, the Belgian ship Pompei is shown in unidentified waters. One of Somalia's most notorious pirate leaders, Mohamed Abdi Hassan, was arrested in Brussels on Oct. 12 and placed in custody pending charges of hijacking the Pompei and kidnapping its crew in 2009.
Hollywood-style sting nabs alleged Somalian pirate kingpin in Brussels
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BRUSSELS — The alleged pirate kingpin thought he was going work in the movies. Instead he landed in jail.
In a sting operation worthy of Hollywood, Mohamed Abdi Hassan was lured from Somalia to Belgium with promises of work on a documentary about high-seas crime that would "mirror his life as a pirate," federal prosecutor Johan Delmule said Monday.
camera as an expert adviser, Abdi Hassan ended up behind bars, nabbed as he landed Saturday at Brussels airport.
"(He's) one of the most important and infamous kingpin pirate leaders, responsible for the hijacking of dozens of commercial vessels from 2008 to 2013," Delmulle said.
But rather than being behind the
Abdi Hassan — whose nickname, Afweyne, means "Big Mouth" — was charged with hijacking the Belgian dredger Pompei and kidnapping its nine-member crew in 2009, Delmulle said. The Pompei's crew was released after 10 weeks in captivity when the ship's owner paid a reported $3 million ransom. Belgium caught two pirates involved in the hijacking, convicted them and sentenced them to nine and 10 years in prison.
but prosecutors still wanted the ringleaders.
"Too often, these people remain beyond reach while they let others do the dirty work," Delmulle told reporters.

BEER
Craft breweries offer seasonal beers full of fall flavor
IDUNCAN MCHENRY
dmchenry@kansan.com
As college students, many of us have been faced with a gut wrenching, distinctly first world problem when buying beer: whether to settle for quantity, or spring for quality. We stare indecisely down the glass-encased rows of fermented hoppy goodness. We waffle back and forth between good of' Anbeuser Busch and some German brew with a name that sounds like someone clearing their throat followed by "Hefeweizen." We think to ourselves, "That Ginger Lemongrass Shandy from Oregon must be insane if it's worth half my share of the water bill, right?"
But for some reason, the priciar,
more flavorful craft beers seem to
make a comeback every year with
the falling of the leaves. Something
about the crisp fall air makes us
want to drink a hearty ale instead
of a light lager, and the brewers
know it. They inevitably come out
with an array of special brews along
with the seasonal change. In honor
of their efforts, I've put together a short, six-pack list of some of my favorites for this time of year.
Cheers!
NAME: Free State Ad Astra Ale
BREWERY: Free State Brewing Co.
(Lawrence)
STYLE: Amber Ale
Ad Astra Ale is the original beer from Free State Brewing Co. Its name comes from the Kansas state motto Ad Astra per Aspera, which means "To the Stars Through Difficulties." This is probably my favorite Free State brew, aside from the Wheat State Golden, because of its no-nonsense malt taste and drinkability. Despite being a darker ale,
it's easy to have a few of these on a Friday night without feeling so full you can't walk. I also detected a hint of copper in the one I drank for this review, but it wasn't strong enough to overpower the beer's signature characteristics.
NAME: Lost Coast Indica IPA
BREWERY: Lost Coast Brewery & Café
(Fureka, Calif.)
Breckenridge Brewery's Autumn Ale is just one of many seasonal craft beers currently available. Although slightly more expensive, these limited-edition brews could be worth the extra money.
STYLE: India Pale Ale

12 FL. OZ.
B8 BOTTLE
MACKENzie BREWERY • FINE COLORADO LEGAL
Like all members of the India Pale Ale family, Lost Coast Indica is strongly hopped, giving it a more bitter taste. This style originated several centuries ago when British brewers added extra hops as a natural preservative to ales they exported to India. While IPAs aren't typically considered seasonal beers, I love to drink them when the temperature outside drops because they tend to be a bit higher in alcohol content. This is one of my favorite IPAs I've tried because it strikes a good balance between bitterness and a wholesome, grainy taste. At 6.5 percent alcohol, the flavor is deceptively mellow.
NAME: Beck's Oktoberfest Lager
BREWERY: Brauerle Baeck & Co/
Beck's (Bremen, Germany)
STYLE: Oktoberfest/Marzen
NAME: Left Hand 400 Pound Monkey IPA
BREWERY: Left Hand Brewing Co.
(Longmont, Colo.)
While Beck's started out as an independent brewery in Germany, it isn't technically a craft brewery nowadays as InBev owns it. Beck's Oktoberfest makes my list because its sweet flavor—with hints of caramel and toffee—could be perfect for some around Halloween. It pours with a reddish, amber color, and is the lowest in alcohol content of the six at just 5 percent. Consider having this one available instead of candy at your 21-and-up costume party this year.
DUNCAN MCHENRY/KANSAN
STYLE: India Pale Ale
The lightest of the six in color, 400 Pound Monkey is another India Pale Ale that isn't too overbearing in bitterness. I drank it along with a lasagna dinner and its smoothness went perfectly with my meal without clashing and leaving a weird aftertaste. Flavor aside, Left Hand wins the award for best graphic design of any craft brewery I've seen. And that's saying something in an industry where a pale ale label often equates to visual art, Oh, and at nearly 7 percent alcohol, 400 Pound Monkey may be a one-and-done for some casual beer drinkers.
NAME: Breckenridge Autumn Ale
BREWERY: Breckenridge Brewery
(Breckenridge, Colo.)
STYLE: Dark ale
Never having tried Breckenridge Autumn Ale before, or anything from Breckenridge Brewery for that matter, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Its dark, cloudy coloration had me anticipating a Guiness knock-off, but the sweet taste of molasses brought out by roasted malts used in the brewing process put my concerns to rest. This is an autumn ale with a complex flavor that's sure to leave a different palatal impression for everyone. Personally, I enjoyed its lingering aftertaste that faded to a mellow toastiness.
NAME: Boulevard Bob's '47 Oktoberfest
BREWERY: Boulevard Brewing Co.
(Kansas City, Mo.)
STYLE: Oktoberfest/Marzen
Maybe my taste buds are just averse to sweeter beers for some
reason, but Bob's '47 Oktoberfest and Beck's Oktoberfest Lager were my least favorites of the bunch. While Bob's '47 definitely doesn't have the almost candy corn-like hints of the Beck's Oktoberfest, it still left something to be desired. My favorite Boulevard beer is the Pale Ale because of its classic grainy, yet slightly bitter, flavor. Those characteristics were missing in Bob's '47, so I personally will continue to purchase Boulevard Pale Ale at every opportunity like a good Kansas City native should.
FREE STATE OWNER COMMENTS ON GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN Last Thursday's University Daily Kansan ran an Associated Press story about possible delays to the introduction of new craft beers due to the government shutdown. Chuck Magelr, owner and founder of Lawrence's Free State Brewing Co., said his brewery
could be affected if the shutdown lasts longer than currently anticipated.
"We basically plan six weeks to six months out, so to have this as a short-term disruption is not a problem," Magerl said. "If they aren't able to resolve things and it still linger on for another month or two, it could have an impact on us. A lot of what comes from them are permits and label approvals, and
Edited by Sarah Kramer
we have most of those locked in place at this point. But I know it's going to have a huge backlog once they do actually get back to work."
magger added that the absence of federal regulation matters more for start-up craft brewers. They will have to wait on a response from the essentially inactive Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
What is your favorite fall seasonal brew?
Free State has just finished brewing the last of their tall seasonal Octoberfest beer this week, and will soon be introducing their new Winterfest variety. The Winterfest is an India Pale Ale.

"It's also going to have an impact on some small businesses that maybe are just trying to get started and are waiting for their initial approval." Magerl said.
"One of my favorite beers in Lawrence has got to be the Ad Astra. It's a nice autumn beer. It's got a nice bit of flavor, but isn't overly dark and still kind of has that crispness."
"I usually don't like Samuel Adams beers a lot, but their Octoberfest beer is really good. They're typically such heavy, dark beers, and I don't like to fill up that quickly, but it's delicious."
"I like the New Belgium one called Pumpkick. Most pumpkin beers are too sweet and nasty, but this one is pretty good. It's made with cranberries."

Eating greasy food while drunk worsens hangover
CUISINE
DANI BRADY
dbrady@kansan.com
We've all been there — you stumbled out of the Hawk after consuming your body weight in cranberry wedges and fireball shots and you're about to make some bad decisions. Your body hasn't yet registered all of the calories you have just drank so you are about to completely disregard the hours you spent in the gym. Instead, you will listen to your grumbling tummy because as we all know, alcohol is known to impair our judgment and decision-making abilities.
Well done, my friend. You reek of booze, made out with that boy from your English class, spent all of your money, lost your friends and now you're starving. In your mind, that greasy fourth meal is exactly what you need before you pass out. Sadly, it isn't true that if you eat something it will ease your hangover, but who cares — right now you're drunk and need to soak up that alcohol.
Drunk eating occurs when you carelessly eat large portions of unhealthy food simply because you are highly intoxicated and have thrown all sense of self-control out
According to the study involving 206 students reported drinking in the past month, "36.1 percent of students described eating large amounts following alcohol consumption (a pattern students ubiquitously label "drunk munchies") on at least half of drinking episodes, and 39 percent reported being less healthy in their food choices after
the window. Calories from alcohol are not recognized by the body and mind the same way sources of protein are recognized. Therefore, it takes longer for you to feel full causing you to eat more than normal.
Binge eating will cause you to wake up the next morning with a pounding headache and a food baby filling you with more regret than that midterm you didn't prepare for. But the next time you're wasted it won't stop you from dipping that pizza in ranch or ordering an extra bag of chips with your Jimmy John's sandwich.
The Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University analyzed the behavior of college freshmen to suggest that alcohol consumption has a direct effect on eating patterns and weight gain.
drinking, as compared to when they abstained from drinking,
"so what the deal?"
Ria Gilday, a naturopathic doctor, nutritionist and author of "Healthy Weight Loss; Fast, Easy, and Safe," explains how alcohol, which is mainly sugar, is absorbed into the bloodstream right away causing insulin to be released in order to lower your glucose levels. But low blood glucose causes you to crave carbs in order to provide fast relief. It's a vicious cycle, but what fun would it be to get wasted if it weren't bad for you? Alcohol is also known to enhance the taste of salts and fats, which is why The Wheel is known for pizza and not for serving up delicious salads.
Those greasy foods you decide to late-night binge eat are harder to digest, increase dehydration and will leave you feeling sick the next morning. So instead, eat something like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich. Both options have a limited amount of fat, carbs and protein.
And don't forget a glass of water; you'll thank me in the morning.

Board of Regents recognizes aerospace students

Engineering national awardwinning aerospace designs is not rocket science, well maybe it is, but for students in the Aerospace Engineering program it is just part of a tradition.
Students in the program were recognized yesterday by the Kansas Board of Regents for their accomplishments.
A group consisting of undergraduate and graduate students won first place in a graduate level team design completion by designing an unmanned high-altitude aircraft which would carry a laser for missile defense purposes. The competition was
hosted by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and included universities from the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and other European nations.
"Throughout the process we had to work outside of boundaries and it was tough," Amir Bachelani, a University aerospace graduate and current graduate student from Olathe, said. "It's such an 'out there' type of aircraft that really blows people away when you talk about it."
The students won a graduate level awar.
"It's very Star Wars like," said professor and advisor Ron Barrett-Gonzalez. "If there is a helicopter or an airplane, a missile or an artillery
shell or basically anything that is not suppose to be flying within a hundred miles of it can be zapped out of this sky by this aircraft."

'What our students do is they design aircraft and they design engines, kind of like the way
architecture students design buildings in a studio class," said Barrett-Gonzalez.
Students work in close relation with their advisers when working on the aircraft, and Bachelani said it's a lot of hard work. "Sometimes we just worked until we couldn't," Bachelani said.
Stuart Hunsinger, a fifth-year aerospace undergraduate student from Olathe, worked on the laser aircraft.
"It's very exciting, we weren't expecting first place. I immediately put it on my resume," Hunsinger said.
He plans on entering the workforce in aerospace design after graduation.
"They keep coming back to
the same orchard to pick apples. Managers from many of the big airspace companies come to KU to recruit our design students." Barrett-Gonzalez said. "Once or twice a year the chief of design from Boeing makes his way out here from Seattle to personally look over students' designs."
As well as receiving the other awards, aerospace students who designed a high-performance engine for aircraft await the results from another AIA4 contest. They placed in the top three, but the standings have yet to be announced.

Senate deal on debt, shutdown sends stock prices skyrocketing
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Wall Street finally got the deal it's been waiting for.
got the deal it's been waiting for. A last-minute agreement to keep the U.S. from defaulting on its debt and reopen the government sent the stock market soaring Wednesday, lifting the Standard & Poor's 500 index close to a record high.
The deal was reached just hours before a deadline to raise the nation's $16.7 trillion debt limit. Senate leaders agreed to extend government borrowing through Feb. 7 and to fund the government through Jan. 15.
The agreement follows a month of political gridlock that threatened to make America a deadbeat and derail global markets, which depend on the U.S. to pay its bills. American government debt is widely considered the world's safest investment.

Wall Street gambled that politicians wouldn't let the U.S. default, a calamity economists said could paralyze lending and push the economy into another recession.

"We knew it was going to be dramatic, but the consequences of a U.S. default are just so severe that the base case was always that a compromise was going to be reached," said Tom Franks, a managing director at TIAA CREF, a large retirement funds manager.

5. 2 percent in the first quarter.
It will be harder for Wall Street to get an up-to-date view of the economy because the partial government shutdown that began Oct. 1 has kept agencies from releasing key reports on trends like hiring. In general, though, the economy has been expanding this year.
If the deal wraps up soon, investors can turn their attention back to economic basics like third-quarter earnings. Overall earnings at companies in the S&P 500 index are forecast to grow 3.1 percent from a year earlier, according to data from S&P Capital IQ. That's slower than the growth of 4.9 percent in the second quarter and
Despite broad confidence that the political parties would strike a deal, the Dow went through rough patches over the last month, at one point falling as much as 900 points below an all-time high reached on Sept. 18. The Dow has seen seven triple-digit moves in the last 10 trading days.
On Wednesday, the Dow Jones climbed 205.82 points, or 1.4 percent, to 15,373.83.The S&P 500 gained 23.48, or 1.4 percent, at 1,721.54.That's only four points below its record close of 1,725.52 set Sept.18.

note edged down to 2.67 percent from 2.74 percent Tuesday. Yields on longer-term U.S. government debt haven't moved as much as those on short-term debt because investors believed that the government would work out a longer-term solution.
The Nasaad composite镜子 45.42, or 1.2 percent, to 3,839.43.
The feeling among stock traders in recent days was that panicking and pulling money out of stocks could mean missing out on a rally after Washington came to an agreement. Investors have also become inured to Washington's habit of reaching budget and debt deals at the last minute.
Among stocks making big moves:
— Bank of America rose 32 cents,
or 2.2 percent, to $14.56 after the second-largest U.S. bank reported,
a surge in third quarter earnings.
- Stanley Black & Decker plunged $12.70, or 14.3 percent, to $76.75 after the company lowered its profit forecast for the year, citing slower growth in emerging markets and a hit from the U.S. government shutdown.
"Ivestors have become, unfortunately, accustomed to some of the dysfunction," said Eric Wiegand, a senior portfolio manager at U.S. Bank. "It's become more the norm than the exception."
In the summer of 2011, the S&P 500 index plunged 17 percent between early July and early August as lawmakers argued over raising the debt limit, and Standard
& Poor's cut the U.S. credit rating from AAA, its highest ranking. The market later recovered.
Stocks also slumped in the last two weeks of 2012 as investors fretted that the U.S. could go over the "fiscal cliff" as lawmakers argued over a series of automatic government spending cuts. Stocks rebounded and began a strong rally that has propelled the S&P 500 up almost 21 percent this year.
Some were glad that investors could now turn their focus back to the traditional drivers of the market rather than worrying whether the latest dispatch from Washington would shake stocks.
"It's a little bit silly in the short term for markets to go down so
much on press conferences and then to go up so much on rumors," said Brad Sorensen, director of market and sector research at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. "We've urged investors to pull back a little bit and look at the longer term."
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
The market for U.S. Treasury bills reflected relief among bond investors. The yield on the one-month T-bill dropped to 0.13 percent from 0.40 percent Wednesday morning, an extraordinarily large move. The decline means that investors consider the bill, which would have come due around the time a default may have occurred, to be less risky.

"I became aware of the amount of people in the world that don't have enough to eat," Hess, a junior from Scott City, said. "So, I started researching ways that I could help."
Emily Hess was away at camp this summer when she read a book that opened her eyes to a serious, yet often ignored worldwide issue.
Hess' research ultimately led her to an organization called the Children's Hunger Fund, which distributes food and other aid to children throughout the country and around the world.
Hess gathered a group and began to brainstorm ways to help. Their efforts eventually culminated into the Lawrence 5k Hunger Run, which takes place at South Park this Sunday, Oct. 20.

In this Dec. 1, 2009, file photo provided by Aurora Expeditions, an inflatable boat carries tourists past an iceberg along the Antarctic Peninsula. The U.S. government shutdown is threatening a long-awaited deal to create the world's largest marine sanctuary in Antarctica. Americans are among the biggest supporters of the proposal, but they might not make it to the negotiating table. On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry joined his counterparts from other nations in calling for the sanctuary to proceed.
But the U.S. had apparently already suspended travel plans for its delegation. If they don't make it, the proposal probably will be put on hold until next year at least.

Though Congress approved a deal to end the government shutdown last night, the effects of the shutdown are still being felt by researchers at the University and across the country who should be preparing for a trip to Antarctica.
litchell
The U.S. Antarctic Program, funded by the National Science Foundation, moved to "caretaker status" earlier this month as a result of the government shutdown.
Caretaker status means that the staff on the program was reduced to a minimum, only focusing on maintaining safety and government property. According to a statement posted online by officials at the USAP, "all field and research
activities not essential to human safety and preservation of property will be suspended"
Kevin Boatright, director of communications for the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, said that these research projects are affected, and some projects might not happen at all.
This research is especially vulnerable because research in Antarctica can only be done during the summer season between October and January.
"Time is precious," Boatright said. "You don't just get on a plane from Lawrence to Antarctica - it takes time to get there and get equipment there."
Though Boatright said the researchers are hopeful that now that the government is up and
running and it will allow their projects to resume, it will still take time for the NSF to prioritize projects and get things moving again.
David Braaten, the deputy director of the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets, said he is uncertain of what is next for the project he is working with, which measures ice sheets and how the change in ice sheets will affect sea level.
He said that it's no longer possible for his team to complete all of their research in Antarctica and that he hopes to complete at least a portion of what was originally planned.
"If we got 70 to 80 percent that would be really, really good," Braaten said. "When the government opens back up, and
things start to move again, it might still be another week or so before we find out who's going to get to go."
Because of the uncertainty of the timeline, Braaten and his team haven't made decisions on where they will curtail their research or how they will proceed.
"Not having as many days makes it more risky for everything," Braaten said.
Another unpredictable factor prevents them from making those decisions early - the weather.
The project was already underway and equipment was in the process of being sent, to the site, but the researchers were set to arrive in mid-November.
Braaten and his colleagues weren't expecting it to affect their
research, but without an approved budget, the NSF was forced to halt funding.
"It's such a colossal waste of money," Braaten said. "You're committing to lots of resources and lots of people and all that gets wasted."
The government shutdown came at the worst time for Antarctic research, Braaten said.
"If this becomes a common thing is this country, it'll destroy Antarctic research." Bratten said. "So that's a little scary."

Student Senate passes accessibility resolution
ROBERT PYATT
rryatt@kansan.com
The Student Senate passed a resolution late last Wednesday to urge the University in creating a new handicapped-accessible entrance to the front of Strong Hall, which will replace the current entrance at the back of the building.
The resolution, which was passed unanimously with more than 50 senate sponsors, marks a key victory for student accessibility for Strong Hall, as well as across campus.
Strong Hall has been criticized by some for not having a more convenient location for its handicapped-accessible entryway. Now with the combined efforts of Student Senate and the University's AbleHawks and Allies coalition, students and faculty who have disabilities will be able to enter one of the University's most iconic buildings through the front.
The issue of Strong Hall's accessibility has been an issue that the senate has been wanting to address for quite some time, but the architectural integrity of the historic building has caused problems in the past.
"Currently, there is only an accessible entrance in the back of the building, so it is technically compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, but the University has stated that it has a strong commitment to diversity and what wants to go above and beyond what the law requires, yet that is not reflected in Strong Hall", said Drew Harger, a junior from McPherson, who co-authored the resolution.
"There are very strict guidelines for what you can or cannot do to historical buildings. Our architecture firm has worked with the National Register of Historic Places before and they have concluded that the proposed entrance will not tamper with the existing architecture of the building," said Erin Howard, a junior from Liberty, Mo and coauthor of the resolution. "There are five historical buildings on campus and all of them have been fitted with accessible entrances, so Strong Hall is behind all of those."
"We're very happy to support this resolution," said Mary Rasnak, director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center. "This is going to be a wonderful step for accessibility on campus."
The resolution passed by the Senate reflects a long-time trend of students and faculty who have expressed frustration with the current entrance.
Although the present entrance meets Americans with Disabilities Act regulations, it really is separate and unequal. As a wheelchair user, it just doesn't seem right to me to have to enter through the back of the building," said Dot Nary, a research associate with the Research and Training Center on Independent Living. "It seems to send a message to all campus members that wheelchair users as a class of people are not as equal as others."
The renovated entrance is planned to replace an existing window next to the current Strong Hall entrance,
which will prevent any major permanent changes to the current architecture of one of KU's oldest buildings on campus.
After performing an extensive survey of students on campus, the senate found that one of the largest concerns was in the area of accessibility.
"When we were seeing if this was actually an issue people were worried about, we gave a survey to the full student senate, and the results were incredible. They showed that many people consider accessibility as a major issue," Howard said.
"I think this is our duty to do this while we have the ability to do it," said Harger. "This will have a lasting impact on not only current students, but on generations of students. Every time a prospective student
Work is planned to begin in June 2014, the same time as the newest additions to the Jayhawk Boulevard reconstruction project.
The resolution is currently in circulation to gain signatures and letters of support from various areas of the university, including the office of the Chancellor, Provost, as well as the Student Achievement and Access Center, among others.
looks at Strong Hall and doesn't know how they can even get into the building, that's one less student, one less faculty member, one less staff member that will go to KU"
"KU has been successful at obtaining much funding for disability-related research. That is another reason why it should set an excellent example in equality for and inclusion of campus members with disabilities," said Nary, "Constructing the new entrance will exemplify its commitment to these important values."

COMMENTARY Weis'effect on program remains to be seen
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
If Turner Gill had one redeeming quality as a head football coach here at Kansas, it was that he was so bad that by this time of his tenure, most fans knew his days were numbered. He was a sinking ship that led to a rebuild.
A new hire.
A hire that could possibly, finally, turn Kansas football into something other than a laughingstock.
In some ways, that inevitability was easier for fans to handle than what they are experiencing now. Charlie Weis might be the guy to turn around Jayhawk football. He might have learned from previous mistakes as a head coach at Notre Dame, where he went 21-26 his final three seasons and burned bridges coming in and out of South Bend, Ind.
Or he might be another Terry Allen, the former Kansas head coach who averaged four wins a season during a five year stretch from 1997-2001.
At this point, we don't know.
With an offense that finished last season 119th nationally, out of 123 schools, in passing yards and is currently 112th, is Weis not the offensive mastermind we thought? Or is the battered offensive line he inherited from Turner Gill so bad that the ragtag group Weis pieced together can't be expected to protect the quarterback and run block?
Weis announced on Tuesday that tight ends coach Jeff Blasko and quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus will game plan a majority of the offense during the week, a major shift from Weis coordinating the offense and calling the plays each Saturday. The move could be that of a head coach learning from past mistakes and seeing where he can improve his team, or it could just be desperation sinking in as another winless Big 12 season looms overhead.
In a similar move, Weis listed freshman quarterback Montell Cozart on the depth chart for the first time this season. Cozart appeared to be redshirtting this year, and still might, before starting next fall with four seasons to play. At this point, worrying about Cozart running out of eligibility in 2016 or 2017 is like worrying about college applications in kindergarten.
Charlie Weis is doing what he can to fix Kansas football. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen, and unfortunately for Kansas fans, we won't know until 2014 or beyond.

Chiefs vs. Broncos game could be historic once again
There was a time, not too long ago, when the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos met on the gridiron
when the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos met on the gridiron in one of the fiercest competitions known to man. The game featured two successful franchises with a long, rich history between themselves. Every meeting was a big game on a big stage.
After a recent lull of big games between the two teams, this year could be the opportunity to rejuvenate one of the NFL's best and most historic rivalries.
The Chiefs and Broncos go way back, regardless of the recent drop-off. You really can't have one without the other. But although they have a mutual respect, they aren't particularly fond of one another.
Since they were a part of the original American Football League in 1960, after the 1970 AFL/NFL merger, there has been a burning desire on both sides to beat the other. The Chiefs were originally the Dallas Texans and the Broncos were still the Broncos, but wore tobacco brown and gold uniforms instead of the current orange and navy blues. That didn't change anything. The rivalry was as intense as ever.
Michael Harmsen
The Chiefs lead a tightly-contested series (56-50) filled with memorable moments and one of the loudest, most passionate fan-bases in American sports.
Even though the Chiefs had the upper-hand in the early years of the tug-of-war, winning two AFL titles and a Super Bowl Championship, the Broncos have regained a firm grip of the rope.
gained a first grip of the Broncos since 1998, the Broncos hold an 18-13 edge over the Chiefs. After the Chiefs last playoff win in 1993, the Broncos have won two Super Bowls.
One of those playoff victories was on January 4th, 1998 in the Divisional Round at Arrowhead Stadium—the last time these two teams played each other in a game of this magnitude. That game was eerily similar in hype, but the similarities don't end there.
By Daniel Harmsen dharmsen@kansan.com
That game featured a future hall of fame quarterback, John Elway, at age 37, against a former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Elvis Grbac. What do the games this year feature? A future hall of fame quarterback at age 37, Peyton Manning, against a former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Alex Smith. You know the saying: 'history tends to repeat itself'. It really does.
This game features another odd similarity to the game played in 1998: a former Georgia Bulldog and NFL castoff at running back for Denver. In the 1998 game, his name was Terrell Davis. If it wasn't for a special teams tackle during a preseason game in Japan in 1995, we may not have heard of the 1998 Super Bowl MVP and NFL MVP, one of only six people to rush for over 2,000 yards.
This year, Knowshon Moreno, another Georgia alum and overlooked player, leads the Broncos and the NFL with six rushing touchdowns just one year after nearly being cut from the squad.
Currently, the Denver Broncos are led by QB Peyton Manning, winner of MVP's in 2003, 2004, 2008 and 2009, along with a Super Bowl MVP in 2006. The scary thing is that his numbers this year, post neck surgeries and at the ripe old age of 37 years, are better than all of those years. Manning is doing his best Elway impression to say the least.
least. In six games, Manning has completed 178 of his 240 passes for 2,179 yards and 22
touchdowns to 2 interceptions. He is on pace for his best season since 2004 when he completed 67.6 percent of his passes for 4,557 yards, 49 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
perceptions ESPN's QBR rating has Peyton at a 90.1 on a scale of 0-100 with his lowest rating against the laguars at a 74. To put that in perspective, during Tom Brady's historic season in 2007 when he set the record for passing touchdowns in a single season, he had an 89.1 QBQ. To further put that in perspective, a typical pro-bowl quarterback's QBQ is 60-70.
The Chiefs are led by QB Alex Smith, who has played essentially error-free football for the Chiefs, but has a QBR of only 46.2. One might argue that in a quarterback driven league, the Broncos have a significant advantage, especially given the way Manning treats the Chiefs when he plays them.
Peyton Manning is 7-1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, completing 61.7 percent of his passes at 7.5 yards per attempt and 12 touchdowns to 9 interceptions, but this Chiefs defense will be the toughest he has faced to this point.
The matchup will be interesting, but one thing is for sure; these teams are good, but for different reasons. Their success has been predicated on two entirely different styles: the Chiefs on their suffocating defense, the Broncos on their unstoppable offense.
Broncos of their unstoppable force meeting the immovable object. Something's gotta give.
Tradition and history have a lot to say in the long run, but things can change drastically from year to year. The Chiefs overhauled their engine with upgrades at quarterback and head coach, while the Denver Broncos souped up their already potent engine, adding high-volume pass catcher Wes Welker, trainee Thomas
KU
and emerging star jujus Thomas. The Chiefs have their best pass rushing tandem since Derrick Thomas and Neil Smith.
Smith. The teams will play twice in a three week span: the first time on Sunday, Nov. 17, in Denver, Colorado—where the Chiefs have won only twice since 2000—and then the second on Sunday, Dec. 1 in Kansas City, Mo.
No. The Broncos face Indianapolis (4-2) and San Diego (3-3) on the road, sandwiched around Washington (1-5) at home before playing the Chiefs. Then, the Broncos play at New England (5-1) between the two Chiefs games.
The Chiefs face Houston (2-4) and Cleveland (3-3) at home, then Buffalo (2-4) on the road before Denver. The Chiefs play host to San Diego (3-3) in between the Broncos games.
There is a very good chance that these two teams could each be 9-0 for the big showdown in Denver. There has never been a matchup of two 9-0 teams in NFL History.
One thing to say about this year, whether the teams are 9-0 by Nov. 17 or not, is what used to be viewed as the worst division in football just a few months ago, could feature three playoff teams. The AFC West is once again flexing its muscles like it did in 1998.

Kansas faces West Virginia in second conference match
BRIAN HILLIX
bhillix@kansan.com
Kansas (14-4, 4-1) travels to Morgantown, W. Va., on Saturday to face the West Virginia Mountaineers (15-4, 2-3) in its second straight road conference match.
The Jayhawks landed the No. 23 spot in the latest American Coaches Volleyball Association Top 25 poll on Monday after winning 10 of their last 11 matches, with their lone loss coming to defending NCAA champion Texas.
In two matches against the Mountaineers last season, the Jayhawks lost just one set. Aside from that set, Kansas never surrendered
more than 18 points in a set. The Mountaineers finished 0-16 in the conference last season and were picked to finish last again this year.
The Mountaineers have fared much better this season. They have won two conference matches and are tied with Oklahoma for the most total wins among Big 12 teams. However, the Mountaineers have benefited from a light pre-conference schedule.

In the NCAA Division I Rating Percentage Index rankings, West Virginia ranks No. 66 while Kansas stands at No. 11. The rankings take into account a team's strength of schedule and looks at team record, opponent records and where the
Kansas leads the conference in assists, kill and blocks. West Virginia tops the conference in lowest hitting percentage allowed with a 152 mark.
Two of the conferences kill leaders go head-to-head as first-ranked West Virginia freshman outside hitter Jordan Anderson goes up against fourth-ranked junior outside hitter Sara McClinton.
Prior to their loss against Texas, the jayhawks had dropped just one set in their first four conference matches.
West Virginia has lost in straight-sets in its last two matches.

Five players recorded at least six kills to lead a balanced offensive attack in the bounce-back win. Kansas (15-4, 5-1) fell to first-place Texas at home on Saturday in four sets for its first conference loss of the season. Coach Ray Bechard said his team did a good job of not
"That's when you get in trouble is when you let the losses linger." Bechard said. "We needed to bounce back to reach some of our Big 12 goals."

tine for Kansas, but the second set got off to a slow start after four attack errors in the first six points. The Red Raiders enjoyed leads of 8-2, 19-12 and 23-18 throughout the set, but the Jayhawks kept fighting. Redshirt senior middle blocker, Caroline Jarmoc, took over at the end of the frame and closed the set with four consecutive kills to lead a 7-0 run and take the set. Senior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael, who helped erase the deficit with two kills midway through the set, said it was a full team effort.
The first and third sets were rou-
"We have really good team chemistry," Carmichael said. "We know that we can come back and
win no matter what."
Junior outside hitter Sara McClinton led all players with 13 kills to go with a .462 attack percentage. McClinton has now led the team in kills in five straight matches. Jarmoc notched nine kills and five blocks in the match including six kills in the game-changing second set.
Senior setter Erin McNorton tallied 36 assists and junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers and senior libero Brianne Riley each contributed double-digit digs with 12 and 11, respectively.
Continuing their road trip, the Jayhawks head east on Saturday to play an improved West Virginia team that leads the conference with 16 wins this season.
"They've made a great turnaround," Bechard said. "It will be another quality Big 12 opponent who will have our full attention."

HOUSTON — James Harden had 21 points and five rebounds to lead the Houston Rockets to a 108-104 win over the Orlando Magic in a preseason game Wednesday night.
Harden finished 7 of 12 from the field, including 4 of 6 from behind the arc in 18 minutes - all in the first half. Harden had 15 points in the first quarter, including a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Houston a 33-29 lead after one en route to a 61-53 halftime lead.
Patrick Beverley added 13 points
and nine rebounds in 26 minutes,
and Dwight Howard had eight
points and four rebounds in 18
minutes — also all in the first half
— to lead the Rockets (3-1) to their
third straight preseason win.
Houston played without Jeremy Lin, who was sent home due to illness.
Reserve Manny Harris led the Magic (1-3) with 17 points on 8 of 16 shooting in 23 minutes. Andrew Nicholson finished with 15 points and nine rebounds, Aaron Afflo added 13 points in 23 minutes. Maurice Harkless and Romero Osby had 10 apiece.
Orlando first-round pick Victor Oladipo struggled from the floor, scoring nine points on 3-of-12 shooting in 20 minutes as the Magic shot 22 percent from beyond the arc and 12 of 18 from the free throw line.
Donatas Montiejunas chipped in 14 points for Houston, Francisco Garcia had 11 and Terrence Jones added 10 for the Rockets, who shot 41.7 percent from behind the 3-point line and hit 23 of 27 from the free throw line.

Jayhawks face tough upcoming schedule
sliang@kansan.com
With no victories in its last four matches, the Kansas soccer team (5-7-2, 0-2-1) is heading into the hardest stretch of its Big 12 schedule with lots of questions.
STELLA LIANG
The weekend slate for the Jayhawks is tough as they will face both last year's conference winner, West Virginia, and conference tournament winner, Baylor.
After their most recent loss to Texas Christian University on Oct. 11, Francis said that something has to change.
"I have no problem with our effort, how we competed," Francis said. "At some point, that's not going to be enough. The quality we are showing on the attacking end of the field is not good enough. That's why we are not winning games."
Kansas has not scored a goal since its last nonconference match against Santa Clara on Sept. 27. The Jayhawks currently sit at eighth place, out of nine teams, in the conference. Only Oklahoma, which has four conference losses, is lower.
On Friday, they will go on the road to match up with current Big 12 leader West Virginia. The Mountaineers are 5-0 in Big 12 play and are entering the matchup with a seven-game winning streak. Currently they are 20th on
the NCAA RPI rankings.
On Sunday, the Jayhawks return home to face the Baylor Bears. The Bears have an overall record of 8-3-3 and sit in fourth place in the Big 12 standings with a 1-2-1 record against conference opponents.
Schwindel has now scored 10 goals during the season. That is tied with her teammate Frances Silva with most in the Big 12. Her performance last weekend, one goal and one assist against both Iowa State and TCU, earned her two awards. She was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week as well as the TopDrawerSoccer.com Player of the Week.
The Mountaineers have not lost since Sept. 15. Last weekend, they bested Iowa State and TCU. After trading goals and finishing regulation tied 2-2 against TCU, the Mountaineers won the game off the foot of junior forward Kate Schwindel in overtime.
It might be easier for the Jayhawks to earn a victory against Baylor. The Bears' best result in four games came against Texas Tech last weekend, where the team's played to a draw. However, two of their last three losses came against West Virginia and second-place Texas.
Baylor is led in scoring by sophomore forward Bri Campos, who has five goals. The team has a balanced offense, as 12
players have scored at least one goal. Baylor's goalkeeper, junior Michelle Kloss, has an 81.6 save percentage.
To earn a victory against either team, the Jayhawks must find a way to capitalize on scoring chances. In the second half against TCU, Kansas outshot the opponent 13-3, but had nothing to show for it. Junior midfielder Jamie Fletcher, sophomore midfielder Liana Salazar and senior forward Caroline Kastor have taken the most shots on the team, and are all still in top 10 in the conference for number of shots taken.
"I've seen everybody in the conference play, and I honestly don't think there's anybody we cannot beat, but we are not going to beat anybody if we don't score some goals," Francis said. "The way we are playing and competing is good, but right now that's not enough."
Kansas will face West Virginia at 7 p.m. on Friday in Morgantown, W. Va., and Baylor at 1 p.m. Sunday in Lawrence.

OFFENSE
Head coach Charlie Weis will no longer call the plays and will instead focus on how to create more space in the offense, which has been lacking. Wide receiver Justin McCay, who is starting once again, has a chance to redeem himself after a disappointing season against his former team. Without junior flanker Tony Pierson, the offense has to find production elsewhere. Junior quarterback Jake Heaps hasn't had much time to throw all season, and the only way the offense will change is by fortifying the offensive line. With a vaunted Oklahoma secondary and missing two defensive linchpins in their front seven in Jordan Phillips and Cory Nelson, the priority for the Jayhawks should be to lean on their running game. Senior running back James Sims has struggled this season and looks to bounce back after only mustering 81 yards on 23 carries at TCU.
DEFENSE
The defense has shaped the team's identity so far and the ballhawking secondary has been as good as advertised, coming off a game where they forced five turnovers. The only way to beat a bruising Oklahoma offense is to get some turnovers and win the field position game. Blake Bell struggled last week versus Texas and should face another decent test in the Kansas secondary.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Junior punter Trevor Pardula has become a prominent part of the Jayhawks season ranking 4th in the country in punting average. Redshirt-freshman kicker Matthew Wyman is 5-for-8 on field goals this season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
BABY JAY WILL CHEER IF
Junior JaCorey Shepherd has made a transformation that you just don't see anymore, going from a wide receiver to cornerback. Last week against TCU he tallied up seven tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and one 32-yard interception returned for a touchdown. Shepard will be lining up against two adequate OU receivers — Jalen Saunders and Sterling Shepard — and should have a tough task come Saturday.
Kansas keeps it close for the fans' sake. It's on national TV and fans will enjoy the luxury of not having to wake up early for another letdown, so if Kansas can keep it close then it's more or less a victory for the fans.
AT A GLANCE
COACHING
Oklahoma walloped the Jayhawks in Norman last October 52-7 with a much better team. This time, head coach Bob Stoops looks to be motivated after a demoralizing loss to Texas. Under Stoops, Oklahoma is 14-0 in games played immediately after the Red River Rivalry.
After shaking up things on offense, Charlie Weis hasn't had an offensive performance to make you feel good about development going forward, but he hasn't had a whole lot to work with. Multiple injuries have surfaced, including Tony Pierson and Andrew Turzilli. The offense needs to see some progress and with Weis taking over in trying to make the receivers flourish more in the offense, what better chance than this week against a swarming Oklahoma defense?
MOMENTUM
Kansas was a couple of missed tackles and some squandering of great field position from beating TCU, but that's sort of irrelevant. The defense has carried this team so far in trying to grind out some victories and a close game against a ranked opponent would be a huge step in the right direction.
QUESTION MARKS
Can Kansas get some spark on offense? It's been the talk all week and with quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus and tight ends coach Jeff Blasko calling plays, it remains the biggest focal point of the week. How do you fix something that is collectively a mess? Better playcalling certainly will help, but most of this is a long-term process. Progress certainly has to be tangible to see if it's in the realm of possibility that it can legitimately improve.

OFFENSE
The Sooners offense is built around the running game. It is fast, powerful and versatile, and the Oklahoma running backs run behind an experienced, accomplished offensive line that dominates the line of scrimmage, especially preseason All-American center Gabe Ikard. There are six Oklahoma players with at least 100 rushing yards this season.

Junior flanker Connor Embree celebrates with a teammate during the Oct. 3 homecoming game against Texas Tech. The Jayhawks lost 54-16.
The Sooners rank 12th nationally in points allowed at 16.8 points per game. If there is a true weakness on the Oklahoma defense it is the defensive line, which was probably the case even before starting tackle Jordan Phillips had season-ending back surgery. Senior linebacker and team captain Corey Nelson is also out for the season with a partially torn pectoral muscle. The Sooners defense will still play aggressively, led by senior cornerback Aaron Colvin.

COACHING
With the exception of the Texas game, Bob Stoops seems to have his defense playing the way the Big 12 has become accustomed to seeing in his 15 seasons as Oklahoma's head coach. There were questions of whether that would be the case after the Sooners showed some shakiness against the run last season, but the Oklahoma defense is as scary to go up against as it has been in a few years.
MOMENTUM
The Sooners were rolling after a 5-0 start against a difficult schedule to begin the season, but Texas halted that momentum by thrashing Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry 36-20. The bad news for Kansas: Oklahoma is 14-0 under Stoops in games immediately following the Red River Rivalry.
QUESTION MARKS

SPECIAL TEAMS
Junior kicker Michael Hunnicutt leads the nation in field goals made with 14 and has missed just one kick this season. Hunnicutt set a school record making his 49th career field goal against TCU earlier this season. He is 10-for-11 so far on kicks of more than 30 yards.
AT A GLANCE
The Oklahoma defense is aggressive and talented. The Sooners will put pressure on Kansas quarterback Jake Heaps and try to force him out of the pocket and into bad throws. The Sooners offense will play off of its running game, and they can pound the ball inside with fullback Trey Millard, or they can get to the outside edge with Brennan Clay and others.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF
The Oklahoma defense overwhelms the Kansas offensive line. If the line can give Jake Heaps time in the pocket to let the play develop he can find open receivers and potentially help the run game open up as well.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Redshirt-junior quarterback Blake Bell has been most recognized for his part in the Bell-Dozier package that Oklahoma has run with him near the goal line. The last two seasons Bell rushed for 24 touchdowns, but this year Bell has become more of a passer. In victories against Tulsa, TCU and Notre Dame, Bell looked composed in the pocket and threw with accuracy, but in last week's loss to Texas, Bell was flustered in completing 12 of 26 passes and throwing two interceptions.

Roles have reversed for former five-star recruits
CHRIS HYBL
chvbl@kansan.com
When Scout.com ranked the 2010 class of high school quarterbacks, Jake Heaps, of Sammamish, Wash., was ranked the best available. Heaps was number one. At number four was Blake Bell; now quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners and Heaps' opponent this weekend at Memorial Stadium. The tables have turned.
Both were five-star quarterbacks and both have experienced their share of obstacles, but Heaps is now in a spot where he didn't exactly see himself being in 2010. Blake Bell is. Now quarterbacking an offensively challenged 2-3 football squad. Heaps continues to encounter an endless course of obstacles with a team that struggles to find the red zone and it's not something he's dealt with before.
Heaps is becoming familiar with situations that he doesn't see himself in. Kansas isn't where Heaps thought it would be.
"I don't know that I've really been a part of one," Heaps said. "But it's part of the game and this is where
we're at as an offense and we know what we need to do to improve"
It's safe to say, even for Heaps, that this isn't where he saw the team at the beginning of the year.
"Not so far," Heaps said. "We thought we would be in a better situation, but we're 2-3 and that's the way you have to take it. There's a lot of football left in the season."
Next to Charlie Weis, Heaps is the best fit to turn the struggling offense around. Heaps has to deal with more red flags than yellow ones: a ball-dropping receiving crew, an unstable offensive line, and constant rotations at nearly every offensive position at running back.
If Heaps wasn't one for such big adjustments before, he has to be now.
"You just have to take it week by week," Heaps said. "You don't really look back as much. You just have to take the week as it comes and prepare the best you can."
On Tuesday, Weis detailed a "drastic" change to Kansas' of intensive proceeding that includes quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus taking control of the passing game
and tight ends coach leff Blasko to handle the running game and offensive line. Weis' rationale behind the change was so he could spend more time with "skill positions." A lot of question marks remain as to how and if this will have any effect on a stagnant Kansas offense – even Heaps himself in unsure of who he will be taking signals from come Saturday.
"That really hasn't been addressed vet," Heaps said.
It should be soon though, before an angry, 18th-ranked Oklahoma arrives in Lawrence for their nationally televised date with Kansas at home this weekend. Oklahoma is the first in a tough stretch of schedule for Kansas that includes, in order: Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas, and Oklahoma State.
"You could look at the schedule and this game like that or you can see it as an opportunity to have the 18th ranked team on your home field and the game on ESPN," Heaps said.

West Virginia family enjoys lumberjacking thrills
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Chain saws are buzzing, axes are flying and let the wood chips fall where they may.
The chain saw competition at the Mountain State Forest Festival pitted father and son for bragging rights as to which West Virginia could fell more timber in the fastest time. Then as Arden Cogar Jr. struggled to start his machine, his 79-year-old father sliced through three slabs of timber, drawing hoots and hollers from the crowd as the machine's roar died down.
"He can still whoop my butt any day of the week," Cogar Jr. said of his father.
Chopping through wood is a family tradition for a West Virginia-based clan that boasts at least 20 members who've cut timber in various forms of lumberjack competitions.
Members of the Cogar family stay busy competing about 20 weekends out of the year. And three of them soon will take their skills against competitors from more than 20 other countries at the Stihl Timbersports Series World Championships Oct. 25-26 in Stuttgart, Germany.
Arden Cogar Jr. held the national title for four of the past six years but was unseated in June by cousin Matt, who at 26 became the youngest U.S. overall champion of the Stiil Timbersport circuit.
The two veterans of the global circuit will be joined by Matt's father, Paul Cogar, whose decades of work in the logging industry finally paid off when he qualified for the five-member U.S. team for the first time.
"It's going to be a pretty proud moment doing that," said Paul Cogar, 56.
Local and regional competitions keep the Cogars' skills sharp. In all, six family members earned prizes at the recent festival in Elkins, although theirs wasn't the only one with multiple generations competing.
Other fathers and sons threw hatches at a red bull's eye on a wood target and worked the long saw in teams as sawdust piled up on the stage.
Logging has long been a way of life in heavily forested West Virginia, where the arrival of the railroads in the late 19th century contributed to the rapid rise of the hardwood logging and coal industries.
The Cogar family's roots in logging date to the 1930s,starting with Arden Cogar Sr.'s father and brothers.
Eventually, family members began taking part in competitions that included a variety of ax, and cross and chain saw events. Arden Cogar Sr. began competing
a half century ago and set dozens of world records in lumberjack sports. His son, Arden Jr., has been at it for more than 25 years.
While some might think lumberjack competitions require the brute strength of Paul Bunyan, Arden Cogar Jr. said it's more about timing and precision — similar to golf.
Your technique is the most important thing," he said. "It's how you deliver the ax. It's how you deliver the saw. It's not the amount of pressure. It's how you use what you have."
Arden Cogar Jr. dusts off any injuries he's accumulated over the years.
"You play with sharp objects, you get cut. That's a fact of life," he said. "I have a lot of really neat scars."
For his part, Paul Cogar has been in the logging industry for 39 years. Matt and Arden Cogar Jr. followed their respective fathers into lumberjack sports but not the logging industry.
The burly Arden Cogar Ir. is a former power weightlifter who approaches his day job as a civil defense attorney the same way he does his role as a competitive lumberjack — with preparation and more preparation.
It's a wonderful release after a heck of a work day," said Cogar, who occasionally hosts practice sessions with his cousins. "For me, there's nothing more rewarding
The 6-foot-4 Matt Cogar, who has a biology degree and works as a firearms sales associate for an outdoors retailer, started competing at age 12 and won his first trophy a year later.
than finishing off a day by going home and hitting something that can't hit me back."
His ultimate goal is to earn a world championship, which he'll have the chance to do this month. He also wants to become one of the few U.S. lumberjacks to win an underhand chopping title against a strong field in Sydney, Australia.
But Matt Cogar said the required degree of focus skyrockets when the chips start flying.
"My daughters have felt that every woodchopping contest that they go to is a family reunion," Arden Cogar Jr. said.
sport.
Now family members are gearing up for the world championships. Matt, Paul and Arden Cogar Jr. are entered in the team relay event, while Matt Cogar is scheduled for some individual events, although he said he may drop out of that in order to focus on the team race.
"Once you step up to the log, it's time to go," Matt Cogar said. "There's one thing I definitely learned a long time ago. It's not about the person you're racing against. It's just a competition between you and the log. You've got to chop that log and the next guy has to chop his log. That's what the competition is all about."
New Zealand has been the gold medalist in two of the past three years, but Arden Cogar Jr. says: "We all had very successful seasons and we will push them hard."
Paul Cogar said there is a sense of camaraderie with the competition.
"Prestige comes with winning," Matt Cogar said.

Jackson leads revamped Detroit lineup ASSOCIATED PRESS
tigers.com
DETROIT — A revitalized Austin Jackson delivered in manager Jim Leyland's revamped lineup as the Detroit Tigers built a big lead and held on this time, beating the Boston Red Sox 7-3 Wednesday night to even the AL championship series 2-2.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Game 5 is Thursday night in Detroit. The Tigers' Anibal Sanchez faces Boston's Jon Lester in a rematch of Game 1, which was won by Detroit 1-0.
The Cogar men aren't the only ones who enjoy the family tradition. Kristy Cogar, Arden Jr.'s wife, won a world women's title in her fourth year of competing, and the couple's two daughters, Kiara and Carmen, also are active in the
Detroit Tigers' Austin Jackson hits an infield single in the fourth inning during Game 4 of the American League baseball championship series against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, in Detroit.
Torii Hunter had a two-run double and Miguel Cabrera drove in two runs after Leyland dropped the slumping Jackson to eighth in the order and moved almost everyone else up a place following the Tigers' 1-0 loss in Game 3. Jackson drew a bases-loaded walk off Jake Peavy for the first run of Detroit's five-run second inning.
Doug Fister allowed a run in six innings, and after blowing a 5-0 lead in Game 2, Detroit kept the Red Sox at bay Wednesday.
Jacoby Ellsbury had four hits for the Red Sox, finishing a homer shy of the cycle.
The Tigers lost Games 2 and 3, wasting gems by Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander. Jackson was 3 for 33 with 18 strikeouts in the
The Red Sox had a chance to halt that rally when Jose Iglesias hit a potential double play grounder to second, but Dustin Pedroia couldn't field it cleanly and Boston had to settle for a forceout at second that brought another run home.
Jackson found himself batting in a crucial situation right away, with the bases loaded and one out in the second. Peavy walked him on four pitches to force home the game's first run.
postseason before Wednesday, and although Leyland left him in the lineup, he changed the batting order. Jackson hit eighth, and with others moving up a spot, it made for an odd-looking order. Hunter hit leadoff for the first time since 1999 and Cabrera was second for only the third time in his career — first since 2004.
Hunter followed with a double down the line in left to make it 4-0, and Cabrera added an RBI single. After walking three batters in the second inning, Peavy was in trouble again in the fourth. After a leadoff double by Omar Infante, Jackson slapped a single past a diving Pedroia to bring home a run. Cabrera's single made it 7-0, and the Detroit third baseman — who has been running even slower than usual over the last month or so because of groin problems — caught reliever Brandon Workman and the Boston defense napping when he stole second without a throw. In the fifth, Cabrera looked healthy enough when he charged Pedroia's slow grounder, barehanded it and threw to first for the out.
Peavy allowed seven runs on 1-0.
Peavy allowed seven runs and five hits in three-plus innings.

Slowly, Wiggins followed his teammates down the line of fans cloaked in red and blue, signing posters, magazines and basketballs, smiling and posing for pictures.
Next to Francis was Pancho Freeman, a freshman at Shawnee Heights High School. Freeman was lucky enough to catch a shoe
The fans at the scrimmage ranged from those who were left outside of the Fieldhouse for Late Night in the Phog, those who couldn't be there and those who just wanted another preseason look at the lavahaws.

Students volunteer for Paul Davis campaign
MARK ACRE
Representative Paul Davis, University alumnus and the Kansas House minority leader, announced in mid-September his bid to run as the Democratic nominee in the 2014 gubernatorial race. Immediately after the announcement, some University students sought ways to contribute to his campaign.
Alex Montgomery, a junior from Overland Park, was dissatisfied with Kansas' economic policy, especially in the area of education. He believes a Davis victory would reverse decreases
macre@kansan.com
in the state's education budget.
"For a long time I've seen Kansas head in a direction that I don't necessarily want it to go in," Montgomery said. "I'm a person that when I see something that needs to be fixed I look how to fix it."
After contacting the Davis campaign, Montgomery quickly received a reply asking when he was available to help. Montgomery now volunteers twice a week with the campaign.
Brittany Bodenheimer, a freshman from Topeka, said initially she was only on the campaign's email list, but when the campaign said it was looking for
volunteers, she quickly signed up. She now volunteers with the campaign once a week.
"Win or lose you learn a lot. And you see if you have a taste for it and you'll also be doing something good."
BURDETT LOOMIS American politics professor
Since it is early in the campaign, the tasks Montgomery and Bodenheimer are assigned
vary. The tasks range from calling supporters, addressing letters and any other tasks the rest of the campaign staff needs help with.
Montgomery and Bodenheimer share a sense of motivation and excitement for the campaign. These are sentiments that Tyler Longpine, field director for the Davis campaign, says are common among volunteers.
"We've had a lot of early enthusiasm from volunteers," Longpine said. "That's been our primary focus right now, just following up with volunteers, organizing volunteers and getting them involved with the campaign." Longpine sees volunteers as invaluable to the overall campaign because, "there will be a lot of work to turn the state around and volunteers will play a very large role in that."
University professor Burdett Loomis, who specializes in American politics, believes one of the best ways to learn about politics is to become involved with a campaign.
"Win or lose you learn a lot," Loomis said. "And you see if you have a taste for it and you'll also be doing something good."

The University spends more than $4.5 million every year for subscriptions to academic journals and the cost has been increasing.
This is the fourth annual Open Access Week here since the University became the first public university to adopt a faculty-led open access policy in 2009. Coffman said. Under the policy, faculty voluntarily make their research available through KU ScholarWorks, a public online repository for research done at the University.
Because of the closed access nature of many academic journals, tuition costs are increasing for students, and individuals outside the University are even further removed from access to scholarship.
Having open access in academia has become increasingly important as the cost of academic journals shot up.
"Universities always wanted to disseminate scholarship and have that dissemination of scholarship have impact on the world," Emmert said. "If the dissemination is closed off and narrowed, you can't have as great an impact."

NEW OWNER, SAME BEER
After 24 years, Boulevard brewery is sold
CODY KUIPER
ckuiper@kansan.com
One of Kansas City's most popular and iconic businesses is now under new, international management. Boulevard Brewing Co., the popular brewery founded in Kansas City in 1989, announced on Thursday that it will be sold to Belgian brewing company Duvel Moortgat.
In an open letter on Boulevard's website, owner and founder John McDonald wrote that his age played a role in the decision to sell the company.
"I'm not getting any younger, and the long-term future of the brewery we hasighed on my mind for the past several years," he wrote. "After long discussions with my family, we determined that we wanted to find a way to take Boulevard to the next level while retaining its essence, its people, its personality - all the characteristics that make our beer and brewery so important to Kansas City and the Midwest."
the deal is expected to be done by the end of the year, but the specifics of it have not been released.
McDonald added that he would remain involved with the brewery and keep his seat on the company's board of directors, and that the company will remain in Kansas City.

POLITICS
Ann Coulter interview reveals hollow political appearance
Much was made of appearances at Ann Coulter's Union Station interview last Friday. Coulter - a twiggy 6-foot blonde who appears to subsist solely on a no-cal diet of human souls - has made a career out of her outlandish and controversial political remarks. She's called Obama a retard and openly fantasized about taking away women's voting rights (she thinks it would prevent Democrats from winning office). And yet on Friday, as I sat close enough to her that I would see any protruding wires or antennae, I listened as she stated that she has never intentionally said anything to be controversial - what you see is what you get.
On the cover of her new book,
"Never Trust a Liberal Over Three
- Especially a Republican," which
I now possess an autographed
copy of, Coulter is standing in a
tight blue dress, smirking at the
reader.
"She's a tall drink of water," mused one of my nine white, elderly tablemates, while I speculated exactly what dosage of Gialls would allow him to take a drink.
2. Chainz. Sprint Center, Who's going?
Yes, Ms. Coulter is very concerned with appearances. While most Americans view the past
three weeks as an embarrassment to the Constitution and common sense in general, Coulter praised Republicans, claiming they emerged looking stronger than ever.
"The two smartest US senators are now the face of the Republican Party," she said in reference to Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, the two men who deserve either the most blame/accolades for the government shutdown.
She views Cruz and Lee as the best candidates for the 2016 presidential election, citing their "attractiveness" as a strong trait.
exactly what Washington needs more of. She went on to explain that the shutdown would have been a complete success if the GOP had a majority in the senate, and attributed their underrepresentation to some of the failed Tea Party candidacies in the 2012 elections. Coulter believes the GOP gave up easy seats in safe states by putting up radical, idealist candidates such as Todd Akin and Christine O'Donnell.

Obamacare, thanks so much."
In essence, she doesn't care about the substance of a politician as long as they can walk the Republican walk. She admired Mitt Romney's say whatever-it-takes-to-get-elected approach and rationalized some of his former actions - voting for gun control, for instance - as a ruse to appeal to the left-leaning Massachusetts crowd. It's all about the appearance of integrity and genuine care.
But who am I to judge? I'm a registered Republican for the sole purpose of tampering with rigged Kansas primaries and I tried my best to blend in at an Ann Coulter interview, which is no simple task as a 19-year-old Mexican liberal. I wore a gray shawl-cardigan to look like an 80-year-old man and my L.L. Bean boots to give the impression that I've handled a gun at some point in my life. I
used my salad fork for salad and waited for everyone else to start eating, unsure of whether or not I was supposed to say grace before digging in. But I think I ultimately gave myself away when I was the only member of the table to say "thank you" to our Latina waitress.
This may seem beside the point, but it's not. Within the comfort of my table, the old men affectionately referred to our president as a "nigger", while Ms. Coulter had to settle for "retard." I heard murmurs of wetback and beaner at my table, shifting uncomfortably in my seat, while Ms. Coulter had to describe them as, "the definition of immigrants we don't want." I'll give Coulter, Cruz and Lee some credit; they're far more upfront than most political figures. But what scares me the most is that this is the version of themselves they want us to see.

Passenger pigeon extinction shows destructive human impact
When was the last time you were worried about the KU squirrel population going extinct? Or when have you ever worried about a world without cattle? Abundance often prompts mankind to make irresponsible decisions.
By Jenny Stern
jstern@kansan.com
The passenger pigeon went extinct in 1914. Species are vulnerable to extinction if they have a restricted geographic range, narrow habitat tolerance and a small average local population size. But the passenger pigeon's story is unique. In the early 1800s, the passenger pigeon was the most abundant species of bird to ever exist on earth. The Smithsonian Encyclopedia states that it was "estimated that there were 3 billion to 5 billion passenger pigeons at the time Europeans discovered America." They lived in all forested areas of North America. Flocks of these birds would migrate across the country, turning the sky black as they flew overhead in numbers of millions.
These birds became an over-exploited resource, and population
People began to see opportunity in the massive quantities of the passenger pigeon. They became the cheapest meat available, their feathers now the material for pillows and quilts, and also a commodity for trap shooting. According to bagheera.com, "one operation processed 18,000 pigeons each day in 1855".
size rapidly declined until extinction. A young boy shot the last wild passenger pigeon on March 24, 1900 whereas the very last Passenger Pigeon, a captive-born named Martha, died on Sept. 1, 1914.
Are squirrels and cows the next passenger pigeons? I'm not on a crusade to start a squirrel protection program or convert the student body to vegetarianism, nor do I think that cattle and squirrels risk extinction. However, I'm afraid the risk lies in our attitudes. When we are surrounded by something, it becomes an expected part of our experience. Very seldom do we appreciate and express gratitude to the Earth's abundant plants and animals.
I'm not implying that expressing gratitude to a blade of grass should be part of your daily routine, but take the time to learn about plants and animals that we take for granted. How do they contribute to our ecosystems? What would the world be like without them? It is hard to be compelled to protect something
The importance of knowledge doesn't stop with plants and animals."Global Warming" and "Climate Change" are buzzwords in the news, but how much do you actually know? Does each year have to get successively warmer in order to show that temperatures are shifting? Are researchers in agreement that climate change is caused by anthropomorphic causes? Read the IPCC Report. Look for reliable sources to educate yourself about the planet that nourishes and sustains you. Climate Change will also affect and drive species to extinction.
you know nothing about.
Beyond knowledge, awareness of our actions is a form of gratitude. What detrimental effects are there from throwing away your plastic bottle? It is easy to feel that as an individual, our actions have no consequence. It is essential to remember that if each individual maintains that mindset, we have an entire humanity acting recklessly.
As shown with the passenger pigeons, humans have immense destructive power – driving the most numerous and successful species to extinction is no small task. If we continue the mindset of entitlement to abundance, we will eventually live in a world devoid of diversity.

SLOTHS
Laziness provides many health benefits
We've all heard these phrases on occasion. Language like this contributes to an environment that fosters disdain, misinformed opinions and insensitivity to sloths. And so at the University, and across other American universities, a plague spreads: sloth-shaming.
Sloths are so disgusting - they're so slow that mold grows on them. How can they just do nothing all day?
Sloth-shaming is an unfortunate phenomenon in which people degrade or mock sloths because they practice slothful behavior, habits and activities. If a sloth wants to be a sloth, who are we to ridicule it for its decisions? Sloths are just naturally slow. Cheetahs probably think humans move at a glacial pace. It's all relative.
But sloth-shaming, as unfortunate as it is, also spreads its contagion to our attitudes about humans.
If humans want to exhibit slothlike behavior, we need to stop shaming them, too. Sloth-shaming sloths is reprehensible, but sloth-shaming humans for sloth-like behavior is even worse. Why? Because there are some situations where being lazy can actually be beneficial to us. Yes, beneficial.
Bill Gates once said, "I always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because he will find an easy way to do it." When determined, lazy people can be very efficient, resourceful and ingenious. Idle lifestyle can also lead to lower stress levels, more sleep and even a longer life. Last year, Britain's oldest man, Reg Dean, who lived in 110 years, contributed his longevity to an idle, relaxing lifestyle. It makes sense that if we are less active 24/7, we will essentially slow down our lives and live longer.
And that's not the only evidence to discourage sloth-shaming: napping is actually really good for humans. Mayo Clinic asserts that
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
By Anrenee Reasor
areasor@kansan.com
the benefits of napping include relaxation, reduced fatigue, increased alertness and improved mood and performance. "It's better to have a nap than to have a doughnut," said Arianna Huffington, of Huffington Post acclaim. So if your roommate enjoys a midday nap, stop guilting his perceived lazy habits. They can do wonders.
However, in college, slothful behavior is far from rewarded. If not in class, working or studying, we're cultivating our social gardens. Most of us are always doing something. Rarely do we just kick back and relax. Therefore, when we see others participating in slothful behavior or bragging about it, we scoff. People brag about their all-nighters, their rigorous course loads and the road races they participated in with those ubiquitous bumper stickers. They want to be seen as busy and hard working. Seeing others relaxing and enjoying video games, recreational reading or infinite Netflix episodes irks us, and we shame them for it. The time has come for us to stop.
So, I'll tumble off this soapbox since I haven't the energy to climb down. You may not agree with this new idea of being lazier and ceasing to shame those who already are lazy, but maybe if you sit back in your armchair, and philosophize about it, you'll change your mind. Sloth-shaming is insensitive and misguided. Though if I haven't convinced you yet, you may want to sleep on it.

This time of year there is no shortage of recipes to try—especially anything with pumpkin. Here are three recipes inspired by the fall season:

Liberty Hall to host reunited punk band Desaparecidos
slated as the opening act.
Conor Oberst, singer and frontman guitarist of popular American indie band Bright Eyes, will play with his band Desaparecidos tonight at Liberty Hall. Tickets purchased today are $25 and doors will open at 7 p.m. New York area punk band The So So Glos is
sated as the opening act.
Desaparecidos is a 5-piece band from Nebraska that was revived by Observ in the past year after a decade without releasing any new music. Their 2002 album "Read Music/Speak Spanish" was a hit with critics, and their newest tracks "Te Amo Camila Vallejo" and "The Underground Man" are frenzied, thrash-punk numbers in the same vein as their older material. The So So Glos will bring an equally
callous rock sound, and their lead singer Alex Levine the Clash-inspired vocals are sure to please many long-time punk rock listeners. Despite the band's Spanish name, Desaparecidos songs are all in English — the translation, "disappeared ones," refers to human rights violations by various South American governments.

Alumni bring Kava bar experience to downtown Lawrence

OPEN!
For two University alumni, opening their own local business had always been a dream of theirs. When the news came that their current employment, The Sacred Journey, was closing, the two chose to take advantage of this opportunity to pursue their dream.
Matthew Rader and Nathan Long both worked at The Sacred Journey for several years as sales managers and store managers. Rader graduated with a degree in Geology, and Long graduated with a degree in Anthropology.

The two had their own business,

to think about our situation, we decided to take advantage of an opportunity to move in at 1111 Massachusetts and open our own independent storefront, because we knew the spot was just about to open up." Long said. "The proximity to The Sacred Journey was purely coincidental."
Rader and Long's new business, Mana Bar, will be a twist on traditional Kava Bars, which are generally located in Hawaii, Florida and the South Pacific. At Kava Bars, people drink Kava Kava — a traditional Hawaiian and Micronesian tea that is generally used as a relaxing social drink.
The sacred journey opened September of 2009 and was located at 1103 Massachussetts St. They sold hundreds of raw herbs, incense, teas and smoke blends. They also sold clothing, jewelry, books and home decor.

'Sleepy Hollow' picks up fast second season
KAITLYN HILGERS
khilgers@kansan.com
I hate waiting. So, when I finally get into a new television show, waiting to find out if it is going to be renewed is the worst. Luckily, for fans of "Sleepy Hollow" there was hardly a wait. After just three episodes, the show was picked up for a second season.
The quick decision was backed by the numbers, after the show premiered to 10.1 million viewers. After its encore, post-three-day playback on DVR and VOD and streaming, the show captured an audience of 22 million. By episode three, the show managed to retain 97 percent of that audience, which is pretty huge for a Fox drama. In fact, this is the most successful fall drama premiere the network has had since "24", which premiered all the way back in 2001. Also, with
Fox's track record, it is strange to see them not cancel a show that viewers get attached to.
the fable-based concept behind the show has hooked audiences. Although this concept has been played with over and over again and the show has little to do with the original short fable, these factors have worked favorably for "Sleepy Hollow." When going into something with very low expectations, more often than not, audiences are pleasantly surprised, and generally start to enjoy it. Therefore, when audiences tuned in for that first episode, they were probably expecting something forgettable. Instead, the show exceeded their expectations enough for them to decide it's worth a weekly tune in.
Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman. Similar to that of "Once Upon a Time," it is a genre show, but doesn't limit itself strictly to fantasy. And perhaps more similar to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the creators of "Sleepy Hollow" are not afraid to embrace the craziness bound to arise not only with the characters and plot lines but also with the monsters and demons, which allows audiences to take it more seriously because they know that the creators are just as clued in as they are.
The story that has captivated the audiences seems simple enough: a modern-retelling of the story of
If you haven't checked out "Sleepy Hollow," try and catch it on Monday night at 8 p.m. Just remember, don't have the highest of expectations and it might be a pleasant surprise. Happy watching!

FILM
'Gravity' holds atop box office for 3rd week
NEW YORK — Star power and Oscar aspirations are reigning at the box office, where the space adventure "Gravity" and the Somali pirate docu drama "Captain Phillips" are holding off all comers.
With $31 million over the weekend according to studio estimates Sunday, "Gravity" topped the box office for the third straight week, cementing its status as the juggernaut of the fall movie-going season. It also took in another $33.5 million overseas.
The 3-D Warner Bros. movie, staring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, has now made more
than $170 million in three weeks. The film's groundbreaking visuals have been particularly popular on IMAX screens, where it made an "Avatar" -like $7.4 million on the weekend.
"Captain Phillips," starring Tom Hanks and directed by Paul Greengrass, also held in second place, taking in $17.3 million in its second week. The Sony film slid only 33 percent from its debut last weekend of $25.7 million.
The two movies and their veteran stars were able to keep three new wide releases at bay: the horror remake "Carrie" ($17 million for Sony and MGM), the Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick "Escape Plan"
($9.8 million for Lionsgate), and the WikiLeaks drama "The Fifth Estate."
NOT JUST A COOKIE
Study says Oreos could be as addictive as hard drugs
“It's a very strong lineup that is not budging,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak, who noted the primary family choice. “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2," is also holding steady with $10.1 million in its fourth week.
In a limited release of just 19 theaters, Steve McQueen's high-anticipated slavery epic "12 Years a Slave," opened with $960,000. The exceptionally high theater average of $50,000 suggested considerable audience eagerness for the already much-lauded film.

America has long been identified by the rest of the world as an obese country. Our society is one in which chips, cookies and other junk food reign supreme. Due to an abundance of energy and metabolism, the average college student often disregards this reality.
active bodies.
However, a recent study done at Connecticut College may lend some perspective to how these foods are affecting even the most
The study, done by the psychology department, focused on the addictiveness of different variables when administered to lab rats. One of the variables administered was Oreo cookies. The others were hard drugs, such as morphine and cocaine.
The study found that the rats reacted in the same way to the cookies as they did to the drugs, meaning that Oreos have the potential to be as addictive as drugs.
Jamie Honahan, the student
leader of the study, was quoted on the Connecticut College website as saying that, "Even though we associate significant health hazards in taking drugs like cocaine and morphine, high-fat/high-sugar foods may present even more of a danger because of their accessibility and affordability."
The Kansas took to the streets to find out what students at the University thought about this study. This is what they had to say.

GAMEDAY
STRONG START, WEAK FINISH
Second half struggles continue as Jayhawks remain winless in Big 12 play
CHRIS HYBL AND CONNER OBERKROM chybl@kansan.com; coberkrom@kansan.com
OFFENSE: C-
The Kansas running game picked up steam early, leading a 10-play 70-yard opening drive and pushed Kansas out to a 13-0 lead. James Sims and Darrian Miller finished the half with 169 rushing yards on 8 yards per carry. The offense stalled from there, however, and couldn't move the ball in the second half. Jake Heaps finished the day with 16 passing yards and put the defense on the field too many times to be in a game that they should have taken over. Kansas ran 31 plays for 65 yards after the first quarter.
DEFFENSE: C+
As the offense got off to a quick start and then fell apart, so did the defense. Oklahoma quarterback Blake Bell struggled in the first quarter, but calmed down in the second, finishing the day 15-for-25 for 131 yards and two touchdown passes. The defense was on the field twice as long as the Kansas offense in the second half and were up against the wall the whole game.
SPECIAL TEAMS: D+
If you were asked to script the Jayhawks special teams day, it would be tough to imagine something worse than Saturday. While Kansas did block a punt that led to a score, they had a punt blocked, missed two extra points and botched a snap, resulting in two safeties. In a game that Kansas had little room to make mistakes, they put themselves out of the game with several mistakes on special teams.
COACHING: C+
Charlie Weis brought in freshman quarterback Montell Cozart in the second quarter, supposedly because they were against the wind. Cozart rushed for a 3-yard loss and the ensuing punt was blocked for a safety. On a day where the running game was clicking, Weis brought him in and it changed the game. While the decision may not have directly affected the momentum, it certainly played a big part.
GLASS HALF FULL
Kansas dictated the pace of the game with authority in the first twenty minutes Saturday. A disciplined defense played complement to an aggressive Kansas running attack that was able to cap some of Kansas' longest touchdown drives of the season. Kansas went 70 yards on its first drive for a touchdown and went 68 yards on its third drive for another. That's something the offense has not shown it can do with consistency.

GLASS HALF EMPTY
GOOD, BAD, OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
Kansas continued to solidify its identity as a team that can start, but not finish. After an impressive start by the Jayhawks, Oklahoma made adjustments and the Kansas offense didn't. Kansas could not pass the ball. In the post game press conference, head coach Charlie Weis admitted that Kansas didn't have a chance to have a good passing game with how bad the route running, catching, offensive line and quarterback play was. That's a lot of problems.
The run game. Kansas again proved it is a running team. Kansas executed its gameplan almost to perfection on its first two drives, putting the two drives on the shoulders of Darrian Miller and James Sims. Sims averaged 5.6 yards a carry and Miller averaged 7.5. Verdict: GOOD
DELAY OF THE GAME
When things get bad for Kansas, they get really bad. After the Sooners scored for the first time midway through the first quarter, they earned a safety from a blocked punt after a quick Kansas three-and-out. After the safety, Oklahoma scored on the first play of its ensuing drive. The Sooners kicked field goal to end the half, and scored on their first possession of the second half, ringing up 25 unanswered points.
LOOKING AHEAD
The two possessions that were quarterbacked by freshman dual threat quarterback Montell Cozart were significant. Charlie Weis indicated after the game that Cozart will be involved going forward, and his entrance into the game wasn't because of bad play from Jake Heaps. Weis seems to like the idea of Cozart getting more snaps in future games, so expect to see him in coming weeks.
LOOKING AHEAD
Since Kansas is a team that can start, it is doing just enough to keep fans interested. Kansas has shown it can play with some of the best opponents in the conference, but only for the first half. Kansas manages to collapse in different ways each week. The collapses appear to be easily preventable, but no matter how different the collapses may be, they always produce the same result.
STAT OF THE DAY
You decide what's worse: 28 yards of offense in the second half, or 16 passing yards for the entire game. Both stats are jaw-droppingly horrible, and both reflect how bad Kansas' passing game is. Kansas ran the ball effectively for the majority of the first half, but the offense cannot solely rely on the running game. If Kansas could get at least an average passing game, its season record could be drastically different.

Q: Who has the most fantasy points among standard NFL Fantasy leagues?
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
A: Peyton Manning
THE MORNING BREW Why your fantasy team sucks
So it is the seventh week in the NFL and more importantly to you, the seventh week in your fantasy football league. You wake up daily, check your waiver wire. You try to find the guy that can't even tell you what a running back does and offer him your worst player, for his best player. You even signed up to be an ESPN insider and write fan mail to Matthew Berry! But there is one problem. Your fantasy team resembles the lacksonville Jaguars.
There may be a few reasons why your team can't win in a pretend game.
"And with the first pick in the draft, the jamal I Do Is Win's select, Alex Smith."
By Ben Allen
ballen@kansan.com
In every league there is hometown team guy. The guy who takes Alex Smith with the first pick in the draft because "This is the year." Hometown guy disregards every stat projection and even level of talent but due to a love of the home team, he will never
remove Miles Austin from a starting squad.
The injury bug is always going to bite your team at some point. It's football; it's about big, fast guys hitting each other really hard. So maybe you are the guy who takes Michael Vick, Danny Amendola and Austin Collie, and ends up having more fantasy concussions than touchdowns. You have to realize that ESPN, NFL and Yahoo do not add into the preseason prediction that a
player may implode.
Overhyping a player is bound to happen every year. There are many "break out star" or "high risk, high reward" guys in the league every year. So instead of drafting 12 guys like the former Peyton Hillis, draft a guy who is boring like Ben Jarvus Green-Ellis who you know will always get you a few points.
One reason why you may be struggling may be because you drafted Colin Kaepernick like I did. Like seriously dude, why tempt us with 430 yards in your first game and then give us nothing since. Players like this are bound to pop up on your team. Big name, big potential, bigger bust.
Speaking of big names, some guys think that even though their favorite star is 35 years old and hasn't had a great season in at least three years, he can still turn it on and
THE BREW
return to greatness.
Sorry buddy, Michael
Turner just isn't the best
fantasy option anymore.
There are also bigger reasons why you may not be so hot, and they are self explanatory. You missed the draft, you have never changed your lineup, or you traded your best player for a bag of
Chex Mix. That's probably why you can't get more than two touchdowns a week. These are all mortal sins in fantasy football and if you have committed one of these, you are doomed to lose.

The women's soccer team celebrates a 2-0 home victory against Baylor on Sunday, Oct. 20.
Win ends scoring drought
hnelson@kansan.com
HEATHER NELSON
Senior Caroline Kastor scored both of the goals for the laweyhs.
The Kansas women's soccer team ended its four-game scoring drought in a 2-0 win against Baylor at home last night.
"Based on the fact that every player sprinted 100 yards to come celebrate explains it all," Kastor said. "There's obviously been a lot of pressure and we've kind of had a scoring drought so, that felt great to get a goal."
Kastor's first goal found the net in the first half, after redshirt sophomore Liana Salazar played her the ball following a defensive clear. The
second came similarly. Junior Jamie Fletcher passed the ball off to Kastor, who cut past the defenders to earn her second goal.
Kastor said the team anticipated the game, and needed a win at home. She and Coach Mark Francis said they hoped the win would be the turning point in their season.
The Jayhawks kept control of the ball, and momentum, for much of the game.
the game.
Only around the 19th minute, did it seem that Baylor would take the momentum from the Jayhawks. The first of two controversial offsides were called against the Baylor Bears. Both calls overturned goals, which could've potentially put
Baylor in front of Kansas.
Both of Kansas' goals followed numerous chances; they seemed to control possession for much of the game. The Jayhawks defense was a solid force as well. Redshirt junior Kaitlyn Stroud saved seven shots from the Baylor Bears.
"Stroud's been solid the whole season. I thought today, again, the way they played they're going to put a lot of pressure on you, especially on set pieces," Francis said. "Collectively it was a great effort by our kids."
Kansas will look to continue Sunday's success against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas on Friday.

No. 23 Kansas (17-4) escaped a close one against West Virginia (16-5) that ended the two-game road trip on Saturday night in Morgantown, W. Va.
In the first game, Kansas battled down to the final points with the Mountaineers, just to lose 26-28.
"I think we just went out on a slow start. Lately, we have been getting into a slow start, then we'll kind of get on a run," senior setter Erin McNorton said. "The consistency wasn't there."
After the first game, Kansas pulled a 180-degree turn and came back to win games two, three and four.
"We dug a hole in the second set and made some plays to get it one apiece. We weren't at our best, but West Virginia is so much improved, and played with a lot of purpose tonight," coach Ray Bechard said. The Jayhawks needed some help from unfamiliar faces to lift them over the Mountaineers, because senior middle Caroline Jarmoc, who usually leads the team in kills, had a quiet night.
McNorton said that redshirt
freshman setter Maggie Anderson, who has only played in nine of the Jayhawk's 21 games, sparked the game-two comeback.
Maggie came in and served on a big run for us," McNorton said. "The second game, when we made that comback, she has always done that for us. When she comes in she gets us on runs. She stepped up tonight."
Anderson, a Lincoln, Neb. native, played in all four games against the Mountaineers, and recorded two assists and two digs.
The other spark plug for the Jayhawk's offense was redshirt senior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael.
Carmichael, who earned the start over sophomore Tiana Dockery, led the team with 18 kills on a team high 55 attempts, and many of those were timely.
those were well," said Bechard. "She has been practicing well. Their (WU) right sides were a big part of their offense and we wanted to be more physical blocking wise. Cathy came through with a big match for us."
Carmichael's 18 kills on Saturday tied her season high, but she was
just one shy of her career high.
the any of her career high. "Cathy did a really good job." McNorton said. "Right off the bat, she got the very first point of the game, and then got into a rhythm from the start."
Carmichael was accompanied by junior outside hitter Sarah McClinton at the top of the kills leaderboard. McClinton, who struggled early in the match, ended the match with 12 kills on 38 attempts. McClinton's .53 hitting percentage was her worst of the season.
"I was trying to work in different shots," McClinton said. "I wasn't always getting the outcome I wanted, but I was really able to rely on some of my other teammates."
The Jayhawks struggled Saturday, but found ways to pull out each set to win their last six out of seven conference games.
"We didn't play our best volleyball,but we survived it,"Bechard said.
Kansas comes home to host the Iowa State Cyclones at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 6:30 p.m.

COMMENTARY
Saturday scrimmage serves dual purpose
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
Kansas Athletics and Bill Self did a great thing for layhawk fans this weekend The open practice on Saturday morning more than made up for the disorganization at "Late Night In The Phog" a few weeks ago. In fact, aside from the parody videos, fans got to skip right to the best part of the annual season-opening affair; the scrimmage.
If there are any hard feelings from getting cut in line at Late Night, now is the time to let it go. Yet, as nice as the event was, it's clear there were two people in attendance who received extra special attention from Athletics.
Jahili Okafor and Tyus Jones - both ranked in the top five on most lists for the 2014 recruiting class.
The signing of Andrew Wiggins has put Kansas at center stage for most prospects. Parading around his talent is one thing, but building off his decision to join the Jayhawks is another - and much harder - situation to deal with.
The fact is Kansas has most of the glamour in the recruiting world right now. The better Wiggins plays here, the longer that will last. But Self is living by the Hollywood adage of booking your next gig before your last one premiers.
The message mirrored something we've heard football coach Charlie Weis say: If you can't play here, where can you?
Andrew Wiggins and Wayne Selden hooked up on a smooth ally-oo, Conner Frankamp began knocking down threes and Perry Ellis exhibited stellar footwork.
There's no doubt that Kansas was sincere in its attempt to please the fans on Saturday. When your biggest problem as a program is that your building doesn't have enough seats, you're doing just fine.
Okafor and Jones were unable to attend Late Night - the Jayhawks hosted several other recruits that night. As the top big man (Okafor) and top point guard (Jones) in this year's class, Kansas needed to pull out something distinct for the duo. Especially after the two made it known that they would both play at the same school next year.
Still, that's not to say there wasn't some strategic timing involved.
Kansas is looking to strike while the brand is hot. The commitment of Kelly Oubre after Late Night was an important starting point.
Enter Saturday's scrimage, the first of it's kind under Bill Self at Kansas.
Once seated, Okafor and Jones were treated to a talent show.
And those fans are pretty bright. As soon as Okafer entered the building, about halfway through the second scrimmage,the fans all rose out of their seats, cheering wildly.
Self made sure to note that the reason the lahaywhaks held this event was to make up for the problems at Late Night. He also noted how much his players love performing in front of Kansas fans.
Now with Saturday's scrimmage, Self is setting a new precedent and showing off the power of "Jayhawk Nation" at the same time.

CHRIS HYBL chvbl@kansan.com
There's been a theme for Kansas football in its conference games this year. They can start a game, but can't finish one. It was most apparent in Kansas' 34-19 loss
on Saturday afternoon to No.18 Oklahoma.
Kansas has been the first to score in each of its three conference games so far this season, but have yet to produce a win. In each game, the Kansas offense is nowhere to be found in the second half. Kansas has easily branded itself as a first quarter team (the Jayhawks have outscored conference opponents 20-7 combined in first quarter), but nothing more.
Kansas was up 13-0 midway through the second quarter, until four straight three-and-outs and 25 unanswered Oklahoma points would strip Kansas of all of its momentum.
Kansas was the clear dictator of pace to start the game, as James Sims carried the ball for 63 yards on the team's first drive. After defensive lineman Keon Stowers forced Oklahoma running back Keith Ford to fumble in Kansas territory late in the first quarter, Sims would help Kansas extend the lead, capping off the drive with a 14-yard touchdown run.
"Credit to the offensive line. We told them all week long to win the line of scrimimage and they won the line of scrimimage and we executed." Sims said.
The two teams would trade possessions before Oklahoma quarterback Blake Bell began to take the game into his own hands. Bell completed each of his three pass attempts on the drive and took Oklahoma 55 yards down-field to open up the scoring for the
Sooners.
On their next drive, Kansas went with freshman quarterback Montell Cozart over Jake Heaps in an attempt to use Cozart's running ability against a steady headwind. A holding call on the first play setup Kansas with first and 20, and three plays later, Kansas had to punt from its own 14. Oklahoma would block the punt, sending the ball into the endzone and forcing punter Trevor Pardula to kick the ball out of the back of the endzone for a safety.
nair, giving the team no chance to contend for a victory.
Oklahoma was in control of the game from that point on, restricting any sort of Kansas offensive production. Kansas had only 28 yards of total offense in the second
"I wasn't happy with the guys getting open, I wasn't happy with how the girls caught the ball when it did get there, there were a couple times where they weren't ready for the ball when the balls coming out on time," head coach Charlie Weis said. "We were giving up some sacks when they weren't blitzing. I don't care if you're playing the '85 bears, that's not acceptable."
Oklahoma made it a two-score game midway through the third quarter, and with the Kansas offense stagnant, the game looked to be over. But Josh Ford gave Kansas another glimpse of hope in the fourth, when he blocked an
Oklahoma punt at the six-yard line. Sims converted the block into a touchdown, but Oklahoma would block the ensuing PAT and return it 97 yards for two points to make it 27-19.
Oklahoma sealed the victory on the following possession, killing the clock with a 75 yard touchdown drive that was all on the ground.
"I feel like we gave it away to them," Sims said. "We won the first quarter and us getting a couple three and outs changed the momentum of the game."
Backup quarterback Montell Cozart got another shot in the second half, managing only one first down. Cozart was a part of
The running game was the only thing giving Kansas any chance to win. Sims carried the Kansas offense, rushing for 129 yards on 23 carries, and was complemented well by Darrian Miller's 68 yards on 9 carries.
the gameplan for Oklahoma. and appears to be in the mix for Kansas go forward.
"It's the best [running game] we've had in a while, and we were running against a good defense too," Weis said. "Going in we had to try and control the ball and I thought James and Darrian both ran the ball very well."

Somehow, the title "9 a.m. Madness" just doesn't have the same zest as its midnight counterpart. Then again, Kansas could scrimmage at any hour of the day and Jayhawk fans would show up. This much was true on Saturday morning when more than 10,000 people packed Allen Fieldhouse for an impromptu practice.

The team ran through three different 10-minute, simulated games. After the second match, fans gave a standing ovation and started to leave until the players came back on the court for one more go. Some players were switching squads during the intermissions as well. Yet the one grouping that will likely start the season - Naadir Tharpe, Andrew Wiggins, Wayne Selden, Perry Ellis and Tarik Black

time all preseason that Naadir Tharpe would be his starting point guard. Earlier in the year there had been talk of freshman Frank Mason pushing him for the job.
Self admitted there isn't much to take from a light scrimmage - like the one the team ran through - but getting used to playing in front of a large group of fans can help ease
the transition process for some of the younger guys.
A clear example of this was Andrew Wiggins, who seemed more comfortable on James Naismith court, throwing down dunks and running the floor with ease.
Among the thousands in attendance were two highly touted
recruits, Jahil Okafor and Tyus Jones -ranked number one and five overall respectably by Rivals. com. Okafor received a standing ovation from the fans as he made his way to a seat next to Jones, right behind Bill Self.
As far as recruiting trips go, this was a new move for Self at Kansas.
"That's not why we did this though," Self was quick to point out. "I know the primary reason why our guys love playing here so much is because of the love they receive from the fans."

State and national laws don't protect unpaid interns from sexual harassment in the workplace
[Image of a person's hands clasped in front of their face, with one hand resting on the other. The hands are pale and feature no visible fingers except for the thumb.]
ASHLEIGH TIDWELL atidwell@kansan.com
At the start of a new internship, one feels a sense of pride, accomplishment and hope that it will open new doors. It's the start of a grand new adventure that can lead to a successful career.
But for some they turn into nightmares of supervisors and coworkers taking advantage of their interns' willingness to work and eagerness to do well.
And for an unfortunate few, this exploitation becomes sexual harassment, from which unpaid interns are not protected.
For decades, sexual harassment claims from unpaid interns against the companies they work for have been thrown out because the interns don't receive pay and are therefore not protected under employment law.
Earlier this month, a New York court ruled that New York's human rights laws did not protect Lihuan Wang, an unpaid intern for Phoenix Satellite Television U.S., because the company did not pay her. The court dismissed her case saying Wang could not file a sexual harassment claim against the company because she was not an employee.
This hits close to home for some students at the University, as half of all internships posted through the University Career Center are unpaid, said Erin Wolfram, assistant director of the UCC.
"It may not be an ideal situation, but most students feel these internships are helpful to them in some way." Wolfram said.
ILLUSTRATION BY TREY CONRAD
The US Department of Labor defines the parameters of an unpaid intern in a for-profit company using six criteria the internship must meet. One of the criteria that must be met is that the intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff. A second important criterion listed is that the employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern.
These two criteria protect the unpaid interns from being given the same workload as a regular employee without monetary compensation. However, the unpaid interns are not protected from sexual harassment through the Department of Labor or through state law.
In Kansas, the Act Against Discrimination covers all employees, but unpaid interns do not fall under that label and don't get the same protections. This gap in protection has left unpaid interns vulnerable and often exploited.
Upon learning of the case in New York, Megan Hazelwood, a junior from Baldwin City who did an unpaid internship for class credit over the summer, was shocked that she had been in a position for several months where she was completely unprotected.
"I wasn't even aware that, if you are doing an unpaid internship, you wouldn't be protected from
To Hazelwood, because the work done by unpaid interns is sometimes equivalent to that of a full-time employee, it seems unfair that they wouldn't be protected equally under law.
sexual harassment," Hazelwood said. "I don't really understand why people who aren't paid aren't protected."
unpaid," Hazelwood said.
Though no incidents have ever been reported in relation to internships posted by the University, it is important for students to be informed of their rights, or lack thereof, when entering into an unpaid internship.
Jane McQueeny, executive director of the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, says that students should be proactive in
avoiding situations where sexual harassment can occur.
"I think everyone should have protection from that, paid or

Supreme Court to hear affirmative action case

Diversity comes in all colors, shapes, genders and creeds; it is present in universities across the United States. Affirmative action, which was enacted in the '60s, has been used as a deterrent of discrimination in workplace hiring and college admissions. But the Supreme Court will soon weigh in on a case concerning the University and colleges and universities nationwide, which

In 2006, voters in Michigan banned affirmative action within the state through a referendum after the Supreme Court ruled and upheld the University of Michigan affirmative action policy. Since affirmative action influences both acceptance rates and job opportunities, voters in Michigan sought to change the state's policy by

said. "With movements like the Occupy Wall Street Movement and others like it, the issue of inequality and the definition of inequality remains a major debate in America."
the article also addresses the ethical issues that arise from such economic inequality seen in the United States. In their article, the professors explore the disagreement that many people have on whether society is obligated to respond, and exactly how to respond, to such inequality.
When asked about the topic of inequality with regards to race, ethnicity and gender, students voiced their opinions, but were open in admitting it was not the first thing on their minds.
"I think their is some structural inequality still present in the United States, along the lines of race or gender," said Ryan Chilcoat, a freshman from Tulsa, Okla. "I wouldn't say it's necessarily blatant discrimination though."
Others were more critical of certain institutions and groups of people who might contribute to others' economic status.

"I think there's inequality in certain areas of the United States still," said Sabrina Allen, a junior from Centralia. "I think there's a level of inequality still, especially in Kansas, where there are fewer minorities that creates a kind of
As a part of their research, the Professors examined attitudes regarding wage gaps along racial lines, finding that among white interviewees, 72 percent were of the opinion that wage gaps between blacks and whites had improved over the last decade. African-American interviewees were not so optimistic, with only 38 percent of participants stating wage gaps had improved.
"People who are better off and those who are not so well off have very different definitions of inequality," said Darby. "Philosophy fits into this debate because it helps us to understand whether equality is or is not a problem based on varying understandings of equality."
Whatever the feelings held by students, the fact remains that economic inequality is still a pressing issue in the United States.
inequality poses a serious threat," said Darby. "Philosophy can help us to understand if and how society should respond to such a problem."
Darby and Branscombe are planning on a follow-up article focusing on society's response to economic inequality and its perceptions in the academic journal Midwest Studies in Philosophy.

instating a constitutional ban on affirmative action within the state. That is what the Supreme Court will be ruling on within the next several weeks.
Affirmative action was introduced in the middle of the 1960s during the civil rights era. Its proponents say it is necessary to promote intellectual and cultural diversity in society.
"Affirmative action is needed to promote the diversity of thought. If everybody thinks the same way, looks the same way and does the same things you don't get that cultural blend that allows new ideas to emerge," said Jane McQueney, executive director of the office of Institutional Opportunity and Access.
The University had a total enrollment of 27,135 students — both undergraduate and graduate — during the 2012-2013 academic year. There were 19,169 undergraduate students enrolled in fall 2012. Of those students, 75.1 percent were white, 5.9 percent were Hispanic, 3.8 percent were Asian and 3.7 percent were Black, according to enrollment data by the Kansas Board of Regents and the National Center for Education Statistics. Other groups that were included in the data were American Indians, Pacific Islanders, mixed races and nonresidents.
Other regional colleges, such as Wichita State, had student populations of 8.2 percent Latino and
6. 4 percent African-American. while Kansas State University had 5.6 percent Latino and 4.3 percent African-American.
"People forget that not everyone has the same opportunities available to them, and often it's minorities who don't have those opportunities," said McQueeny. Not everyone agrees that affirmative action is the best way to ensure the most people access to those opportunities, though. In a Gallup poll released in July, 67 percent of respondents said merit should be the sole consideration in college admissions, and only 28 percent said that race should be a factor.
The court will be hearing the case in the upcoming weeks, and if it upholds the referendum and constitutional ban in Michigan, other states may pass similar policies banning affirmative action.
Supporters of affirmative action, such as Bejarano, have said such policies still pose a threat to disadvantaged students.
"This is a civil rights issue, and it's not primarily a state-by-state issue," Bejarano said. "When looking back at segregation, some states decided not desegregate their students and the federal government had to step and say 'no, the whole country has to desegregate.' This is an issue where the federal government has to step in and help disadvantaged groups."

DiDonato
famous mezzo-soprano singer who has performed around the globe on the biggest opera stages, from Chicago to Milan to Tokyo. She won a 2012
Grammy for her album Diva Divo. DiDonato will receive a Doctor of Arts degree for notable contributions to opera.
Anyone from the University of Kansas or the public can nominate someone for an honorary degree. The nominee's work must be relevant to KU's academic endeavors. Nominees are not made aware of their consideration for the degrees unless they are ultimately selected. The committee tasked with approving nominees is composed of both KU staff and members of the public.
The process for selecting the
nominees to receive honorary degrees is extensive. According to theater professor John Gronbeck-Tedesco, the selection process can take well over a year. Professor Gronbeck-Tedesco is a member of the committee that selected this year's nominees.
Although there are many too many criteria for receiving an honorary degree to list, any nominee's work must be far-reaching: "The most fundamental criteria is that the individual has had to provide distinguished service on an international level." Gronbeck-teck soared.
Although both honorees have made contributions that have changed the world, both will receive their recognition along with this year's graduating Jay-hawks. DiDonato and Smith will be presented with degrees at KU's graduation ceremony on May 18, 2014 at Memorial Stadium.

New rec app helps students track fitness classes, hours
PAIGE STINGELY nationplu/konson.com
pstingely@kansan.com Ambler Student Recreation Center is joining the smartphone world with the upcoming release of its mobile app, "KU Recreation Services." This free app is designed to make it easier for students to access news and information regarding fitness classes, intramural game schedules, rec center hours and more.
In addition, Rebecca Goering, the Communication Coordinator for KU Recreation Services, said the app can help students stay on schedule.
"It has the ability to send push notifications," Goer-
ing said. "So, for example, if an intramural game is cancelled for some reason, a notification can be sent directly to students' phones."
The app also features different buttons that provide users with overall wellness information and information on fitness and fitness classes, among other subjects. "We are just trying to provide another form for students to find information quickly," said Goering.
The mobile app is linked with Ambler Student Recreation Center's website and the announcement screens inside the rec center, so when information is updated on one of them, it will automatically update on the others. The app will be available for both Android and iPhone and is expected to be released soon. "We are getting very,very close. We hope to have this app up and running within the next couple of weeks," said Goering. Ambler Student Recreation Center will make an announcement on its website and social media accounts when the app is available for download. The app is free for students.

Truckers steal merchandise using new techniques
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. — To steal huge shipments of valuable cargo, thieves are turning to a deceptively simple tactic: They pose as truckers, load the freight onto their own tractor-trailers and drive away with it.
It's an increasingly common form of commercial identity theft that has allowed con men to make off each year with millions of dollars in merchandise, often food and beverages. And experts say
the practice is growing so rapidly that it will soon become the most common way to steal freight.
A generation ago, thieves simply stole loaded trucks out of parking lots. But the industry's widening use of GPS devices, high-tech locks and other advanced security measures have pushed criminals to adopt new hoaxes.
Helping to drive the scams, experts say, is the Internet, which offers thieves easy access to vast amounts of information about
the trucking industry. Online databases allow con men to assume the identities of legitimate freight haulers and to trawl for specific commodities they want to steal.
Besides hurting the nation's trucking industry -which moves more than 68 percent of all domestic shipments -the thefts have real-world consequences for consumers, including raising prices and potentially allowing unsafe food and drugs to reach store shelves.
News reports from across the country recount just a few of the thefts: 80,000 pounds of walnuts worth $300,000 in California. $200,000 of Muenster cheese in Wisconsin, rib-eye steaks valued at $82,000 in Texas, $25,000 pounds of king crab worth $400,000 in California.
The Hughson Nut Co. fell victim twice last year, losing two loads valued at $189,000.
On the Monday following the second theft, a customer called to complain that the almonds had never arrived in Arizona.
The company's quality assurance manager, Raquel Andrade, recalled getting a sinking feeling; "Uh-oh. I think it happened again."
Each time, the impostor truckers showed up at the Livingston, Calif., nut processor on a Friday with all the proper paperwork to pick up a load of almonds.
The thefts are little-known and seldom discussed outside the world of commercial trucking.
Companies that have been victimized are often reluctant to talk about their losses.
But crime reports and Associated Press interviews with law enforcement and industry leaders reveal an alarming pattern that hurts commerce, pushes up consumer prices and potentially puts Americans' health and safety at risk.

Porn addiction causes mental, physical issues
It's not because of my moral compass or religion. And though I wish it were because of its objectification of women, sadly, it's not out of shame or guilt either - I'm quitting porn for my health.
I am the product of a pornographized Internet. Chances are, if you're a male under the age 40, you are too. Let me put this into perspective.
Accessible Internet porn has been available to users since before I was born. Unlike men from my dad's generation, when I grew curious about sex, I had an array of websites with images and videos to explicitly show me how professionals perform it. And the hard truth is, ever since I discovered porn, not only has it become more accessible, but it's also been a crutch in my personal life (sometimes you need to channel Drake in order to admit you might be "addicted to naked pictures").
Anybody who actively peruses Tumblr knows of its overwhelming porn presence, and anytime the name "PornHub" gets dropped, almost anyone my age
- men and women alike - know about the infamous website. But because porn is so prevalent and is used to stimulate arousal so frequently, recent studies are showing negative long-term effects, and young men are taking notice.
Physiologist and founder of YourBrainOnPorn.com Gary Wilson was invited to present a TED Talk due to a growing demand for credible scientific information pertaining to porn-use and its effects. According to Wilson, who cited research conducted by head of Italian Society of Andrology and Sexual Medicine Dr. Carlo Foresta, excessive porn use leads to arousal addiction, which in turn reduces natural libido, causing numerous negative symptoms. According to the video description of Wilson's TED Talk, symptoms include "escalation to more extreme material, concentration difficulties, sexual performance problems, radical changes in sexual tastes, social anxiety, irritability" and "inability to stop."
To put his argument in more alarming terms, porn addiction is physiologically causing erectile
By Evan Shinn
eshinn@kansan.com
dysfunction for men in their 20s. And to be fair, he's not the only one who's noticing it.
Writer Naomi Wolfe of New York Magazine conducted interviews with young people and concluded that Internet porn has created "a whole generation of men ... less able to connect erotically to women—and ultimately less libidinous." Because of this, she writes, young women feel as if "they can never measure up" sexually.
What really resonates with me is that society already pressures women to live up to unobtainable standards of beauty. Now, to add to the mess, it's asking for hyperbolized bedroom activity, all while novelty sex is causing men to lose their natural drive to perform. It all seems like a Catch-22, but there might be a way out.
Wilson points out that there isn't much research to back up these claims on porn-induced ED, noting the trouble in researching this issue due to the lack of a sizeable
control group of young men who do not use porn. But those who have broken their habits claim to have seen major improvements in physical, social and mental health. A new trend started by a group of Reddit users called "NoFap" — a 90-day challenge to abstain from porn and masturbation — has already bandwagoned thousands of young men who've experienced excessive porn-induced symptoms and are seeking help.
According to Reddit's NoFap page, based on anecdotal reports by members, potential benefits from quitting porn include pleasure-response healing, increased self-control, more free time and overall improved attitude, especially toward sex.
One individual — nonaffiliated with NoFap — experienced similar results after quitting porn.
In a radio interview conducted by Wilson in Ashland, Oregon called "Your Brain in the Cyber-Sex Jungle," a young psychiatrist shared details on his recovery from porn-induced ED, claiming to have more energy, strength and alertness, as well as a regained ability to sexually perform after
quitting porn.
What's interesting about the psychiatrist's recovery is the tale leading up to it in which he lists free time, stress and living alone as factors that allowed him to fall into his excessive porn habits. As a college male living with an almost absentee roommate, I can relate to this.
Although there's very little scientific research to back up claims of porn causing aforementioned symptoms, there isn't any to refute it either. In Wilson's radio interview, he theorizes that "high-speed Internet porn is way ahead of the research" in terms of how recent it is. He then jokes that "when the next DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) comes out in about 20 years, maybe then" something will be noted regarding the phenomenon, to which his guest replies: "Yeah, when half the male population is incapacitated."

IRONMENT
Man-made environment has impact on human health
Bob the Builder once asked,
"Can we fix it?" But perhaps
the more appropriate
From the coliseum to the teepee, the Eiffel tower to the adobe, it is clear that the human race loves to build things, and continue to fix that which is built. I'm sure Tim the Toolman would grunt in agreement that our society has a knack for transforming the natural landscape into structures for human purposes. But animated construction workers and funny home improvement show hosts neglect to portray the negative effects our living environments can have on our health. Studies have shown that the built environment, consisting of buildings, roadways, water systems, and energy networks, can directly affect public health indicators such as infectious and chronic diseases. In short, we are where we live.
In the 19th century, it became apparent that living conditions affect health outcomes. Often times, diseases spread from contaminated water sources due to ineffective or non-existent waste management. Thanks to increased water quality and waste management methods, epidemics are largely a thing of the past; however, the layouts of our cities have lead to increased obesity and subsequent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and heart disease.
Why is this? The environments we live in affect our personal behaviors. If a city has limited recreational space and sparse
By Gabby Murnan
gmurnan@kansan.com
availability of healthy foods, then its inhabitants are more likely to suffer from the ill effects of a sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet. The logic is simple: if no recreational facilities or green spaces exist, then people are less likely to exercise. If a neighborhood has multiple fast food restaurants and no grocery stores, then people are more likely to eat unhealthy foods.
Douglas County, although not perfect, is a constructive example of how the built environment can reflect positive health outcomes. Our county ranks ninth out of 102 counties in Kansas for overall public health—not too shabby. Douglas County has eight recreational facilities per 100,000 people, which is the same as the state average. 96 percent of our population has access to healthy foods, meaning many individuals are able to purchase fruits and veggies from grocery stores. Physical inactivity, which can lead to negative health consequences, is 19 percent, which is 5 percent lower than the Kansas average. The adult obesity rate is 27 percent, which is 3 percent lower than the state average. All of these factors indicate that our constructed environment largely encourages physical activity and healthy eating.
KU is also taking measures to fix the built environment. The reconstruction of Jayhawk Boulevard is mainly marketed as
a campus beautification project, but it also gives students more healthy living options. Wider sidewalks, safer pedestrian crossings and additional bike lanes will make it easy for students to preserve the environment and their health. The 200 trees that will be planted along the boulevard will act as pollution-filters and absorb around 9,600 pounds of carbon dioxide every year, improving air quality for us all.
improving an quality for us Decision-makers in Douglas County and the University of Kansas constructed healthful environments for citizens and students, but many communities in the U.S. are still barriers to positive public health. In 2012, 49 million Americans struggled to gain access to healthy foods. Additionally, large disparities in park and green space distribution exist among low-income communities. Both of these factors contribute to the obesity epidemic and its related health risks affecting America. If these problems are not addressed, recent trends indicate that obesity will cost the health care system $860 billion by 2030. Policy-makers, urban planners, city managers and citizens must come together to promote better built environments not only for our health, but also for our economy and our natural world. Can we fix this? Yes we can!

Populism provides poor governmental alternative
Many people have cited the government shutdown debacle as evidence of the failure of the two-party system. Indeed, in stark contrast to what the public wanted, the GOP pushed a shutdown strategy that invariably would fail and damage their approval ratings.
By Will Ashley
washley@kansan.com
The term "Populism," when applied to a two-party system, refers to the belief that elected officials should act in strict accordance with the demands of their constituents. Many people point to the government shutdown as evidence of the failure of Republicans to grasp this concept. Few Americans agreed with the shutdown strategy, even fewer than agree with Obamacare. It's indeed a shame when the people elected to represent us do just the opposite - hijack the legislative process in order to act on their personal convictions. It is easy to see the system as broken when looking at it this way. As a body of largely defenseless voters, we have no means of redress and no method of rectifying the chaos in Washington, save for waiting for an election to roll by. But I would challenge you to consider that the opposite might not be much more desirable either.
A totally populist view has its flaws because, as shown time and again in history, the people can and will make bad decisions (read: slavery). Ok, but let's take a more recent germane example. Up until 2013, nearly every marriage equality movement,
when put on the ballot box, had failed. In the places where it did succeed, it was the because of the synergy of well grounded representatives who knew, despite the public's "better judgment" that marriage equality was the right thing to push. Given time, public attitudes came to gradually accept homosexuality.
I am not a "populist." nor am I an elitist. I am pretty cynical, actually, because I believe that no system is perfect. People who cherry-pick each moment of failure as a justification for the opposite system are missing the bigger picture, and as a result, will be willfully blind to the untold terrors that may lurk in its shadows. To me, the system is as good as it gets. GOP leaders eventually learned their lesson, and as such, capitulated to the will of the majority and re-opened the government along with raising the debt ceiling. To me, this speaks volumes of the power of public voice. Even if it took a while, the GOP finally heard us, loud and clear.

MOVIE REVIEW
'Escape Plan' gives action for everyone
A
For all intents and purposes, prison isn't a place most people want to be. It's cramped and confining, and orange jumpsuits flatter no one. In "Escape Plan," though, it's Sylvester Stallone's job to get into the jumpsuit.
Ray Breslin (Stallone) makes his living by breaking out of prison. He works for a high-powered security company that specializes in testing for security flaws in various prisons across the country. Breslin like a prison Houdini, breaking out of prisons left and right... until he gets put in "The Tomb," a violent, questionably legal maximum-security prison where the government's worst enemies are kept. Breslin believes that it, like all the other prisons, will be a breeze to escape from. When he finds out he can't escape
— and someone doesn't want him to escape — the situation gets tricky. In hopes of getting out,
By Maddie Mikinski mmikinski@kansan.com
Breslin joins forces with Swan Rottmayer, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Together they must find a way to get out before someone gets them.
Needless to say, "Escape Plan" has an interesting premise. Breslin's profession is an intriguing one we haven't seen before, which helps spice up the plot. Prison-break movies aren't exactly rare, but "Escape Plan" does a good job of adapting the typical plot into something new and different. Breslin's story is imaginative and every twist is genuinely surprising.
If "Escape Plan" has a drawback, it's the "action movie-ness" of it all. Breslin and Rottmayer may as well be carrying neon signs that read, "We have lots of testosterone and even more machine guns." It seems the writers are doing everything to tell us that these guys are extremely cool and we should be totally in awe of them. Yes, this is an action movie, but "Escape Plan" is so different from other genre offerings in its premise that it should have striven to be different character-wise, as well. Of course, this won't be a problem for action movie fans. Their heads will still be spinning over the Stallone/Schwarzenegger team-up. Which, admittedly, is genius. Not just for action fans, "Escape Plan" is a movie for anyone. It's got a great story with great actors who are excellent at what they do. It's light on the violence — no one dies in the first hour! — though the language leaves something to be desired. In the words of Arnold; "Get to the chopper" and go see "Escape Plan" for yourself.

Colder weather brings fall fun
Edited by Sylas May
critter@kansan.com
CASSIDY RITTER
With the change of weather, it may be tempting to sit inside for days watching Netflix, but consider other options, options that are ideal for fall.
Haunted Houses
The Haunted Farm, located at 1029 N. 1156 Road, is a spooky experience and a quick 15-minute drive from campus. However, it is only open three weekends this year: Oct. 11 and 12, Oct. 18 and 19 and Oct. 25 and 26 from dark to 11 p.m. Another option is Halloween Haunt at Worlds of Fun. This attraction has mazes, rides and haunted houses. Halloween Haunt is open Friday and Saturday nights, and Sunday Oct. 27, starting at 8 p.m.
If the spools of Halloween aren't up your ally, try a pumpkin patch. Schaake's Pumpkin Patch, located at 1791 N. 1500 Road, has free admission along with free hay rides. Schaake's also has pick-your-own-pumpkins, hayrides, a hay maze, a photo area, farm animals and the straw romp. It is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Gary's Pumpkin Patch, located at 5991 17th St. in Grantville, is a 20-minute drive from Lawrence and has an eight-acre Corn Maize. A ticket online is $10.66, and the patch is open Fridays from 5 to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.
Running
Looking to stay fit and active? Try running or walking a 5K. During the fall season there are multiple 5K runs and walks to choose from. The Monster Dash 5K is Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. The run will be at City Market in Kansas City, Mo., and costs $30 for an individual and $25 for a team. Sunday, Oct. 27 at 10:30 a.m. is The Jogging Dead: Zombie Survival 5K at the Lied Center. This 5K is $10 with a KUID and $15 to the general public. Another option is the Turkey Trot on Nov. 2. This 5K costs $30 per person and will be held at Woodlawn School, located at 508 Elm St.
Football
For a cheaper alternative, grab a group of friends to play flag football. The weather is perfect outside and won't stay that way for long, so take advantage of it. Another option could be to throw a party for the next Sunday Night Football game.
Crafting
With holidays quickly approaching, craft fairs are a great event to attend, even if it just is to get ideas for holiday gifts. Lawrence will be hosting Holiday Bazaar on Nov. 17 at the Community Building, located at 115 W. 11th St. This event is free to the public and open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
So stay away from the temptations of Netflix and enjoy some fall activities.

Texas' QB change, Trickett to start for West Virginia
CONNOR OBERKROM
coberkrom@kansan.com
McCov to start again
Quarterback David Ash has been announced inactive for 'Texas' game against TCU, but as coach Mack Brown hints at, Ash is making progress toward getting back on the field.
"David is steadily improving. They just have said he's out for next week." Brown said in the weekly Big 12 teleconference. "We're still in hopes that he gets released."
Quarterback Case McCoy will make his fifth start of the season against TCU after coming off a bye week.
McCoy has found a way to get the ball to Texas' speedsters in the open field and has already surpassed his previous season's totals. He has passed for 764 yards, completing 61 percent of his passes with four touchdowns and just one interception.
Game of the week:
Texas Tech-OU
For Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury the spotlight and accolades
continue to grow; the biggest test waits for the first-year coach in Norman in their second straight road game.
"It's gonna to be a huge challenge for our guys," Kingsbury said in the teleconference.
With newfound success for Texas Tech, the spotlight and No. 10 ranking don't faze them.
"We were basically picked 10th in our conference," Kingsbury said. "Those rankings don't mean anything to us, we're just on to the next opponent."
While it's his first year with his system in the Big 12, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops isn't unaccustomed to the type of offense they run. It faced Texas & M in the Cotton Bowl last year, with Kingsbury as the offensive coordinator for the Aggies.
"As much as anything, were familiar with this type of offense," Stoops said.
Both teams are still in the Big 12 race, and still have yet to play the bulk of their schedule. Texas Tech's upcoming games include Oklahoma State, Baylor and a road game against Texas. Oklahoma's upcoming schedule includes Baylor and Oklahoma State on the road.
Clint Trickett to start
ROWING
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen has dealt with a messy quarterback carousel all season. But with starting QB Clint Trickett healthy, he finally has Trickett in the starting slot this week without any worries.
Trickett was smooth against Texas Tech on Saturday, which is something that the position hasn't seen so far in West Virginia's season. He went 27 for 43 for 254 yards, finishing with a 120.1 quarterback rating.
"I do think he played his best football," Holgorsen said in the teleconference.
Trickett will take regular repetitions all week in practice. He is fully healthy for the first time all season, Holgorsen said.
The Florida State transfer is one of three quarterbacks to start for WVU. He has brought some stability for Holgorsen at this point in the season, including a win over No. 19 Oklahoma State.

Kansas rowing took first in the women's varsity eight and the men's varsity four races in its first home regatta since 2005 Sunday Oct. 20.
The wins capped off a successful regatta for the Jayhawks as the women's team took a top five spot in four of its five events. Rowers Caitlin Decker, Liz Scherer, Alex Torquemada, Brooke Thuston, Claudijah Lever, Erin Brogan, Maggie Duncan, Kaylee Sextro and coxswain Caty Clements led the Kansas A team to victory in the women's varsity eight.
Kansas took three of the top ten spots in the race with the B team taking fourth and the C team placing ninth.
Clements said winning in front of a home crowd was unlike anything the team has experienced.
"I think this whole experience has been kind of surreal for us because this is where we spend a lot of our time. It's nice for everyone else to experience it," Clements said.
Many of the rowers got the rare opportunity to race in front of family and friends with Kansas hosting its first regatta in eight years. But Kansas' rowing team

CROSS COUNTRY
Kansas men take 14th heading into Big 12 Championships
DANIEL HARMSEN
dharmsen@kansan.com
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
The Kansas Cross Country teams competed Saturday Oct. 19 against some of the best cross-country programs in the country, and held their own.
In an extremely competitive field from top to bottom, the men's team took 14th out of 52 teams, averaging a 24:35.08 in the 8k behind winning Colorado (23:49.48) The women's team came in 36th out of 49 teams, averaging 21:51.89 in the 6k behind winning George town (20:41.77).
Even in a strong effort, both the men's and women's cross-country teams learned a lot from their meets in Terre Haute, Ind., and look to improve in the future.
The men were led by junior Reid Buchanan who came in 37th place with a time of 24.05.84. He was followed closely by junior Evan Landes, who came in a mere seven seconds after him, and senior Josh Munsch, who came in fifteen seconds after Buchanan.
309
The significant drop-off was between the third and fourth runners. Junior James Wilson came in at 25 minutes, and freshman Tyler Yunk at 25:15.71. Between the two of them, there were about 150 runners who crossed the finish line before them. If Kansas can close the pack and cut the difference between runners 3,4,and 5, they can be dangerous in the Big 12 and into the National Championships.
Senior Josh Munsch finished mere seconds after his teammate Evan Landes. Kansas hopes to improve before the Big 12 Championships.
"There were definitely some positives to take away," Coach Michael Whittlesey said, "but we need to get our packs back running together and improve on the tactical aspects of the race."
On the women's side, sophomore Hannah Richardson continues her great season, finishing the 6k course in 35th place in 20:52.25. The speedy time was a personal best for the Glendale, Mo. native.
The rest of the women's team competed hard, but aside from senior Natalie Becker, there wasn't a Kansas runner within a minute of Richardson.
All in all, Whittlesley was pleased with the effort from the ladies.
"The women's three to seven runners executed pretty well today," Whittlesey said. "If we can close up that gap a little, there are a lot of teams that will be there to beat at the Big 12 meet and beyond."
The common theme for both
teams heading into the Big 12 Championships in Waco, Texas on Nov. 2 is to close the gap between runners. Hopefully then, the Championship could be coming home with the teams to Lawrence.

THE MORNING BREW Chiefs continue on road to success
After Kansas City's absymal 2-14 season, the Chiefs now stand with the best record in the NFL as the league's only 7-0 team following Denver's loss in Indianapolis Sunday night.
It took one offseason for the Chiefs to move in the right direction. Although the franchise added eight new starters to the team, including quarterback Alex Smith, the key switch came with the coaching staff.
By Farzin Vousoughian
fvousoughian@kansan.com
Head coach Andy Reid retained only two assistant coaches from Romeo Crennel's staff and built a winning, and so far a perfect team.
"It's the coaches, I promise," outside linebacker Tamba Hali said in a Chiefs press release. "We had the same team here last year minus a couple guys, and we're having this much success. So credit to the coaches."
The road to get to this point was not easy for many people part of the franchise. Alongside Kansas City's two-win season,
Reid and Smith both endured grueling times in 2012.
Reid was let go by the Philadelphia Eagles after a 4-12 season, while Smith lost his starting job to injury and watched the 49ers play in the Super Bowl from the sidelines.
After the Chiefs were held to two wins last year, they brought in Reid and Smith. Fans are now witnessing in Reid of the best seasons in franchise history. For Reid, it is his second time starting 7-0 as a head coach after doing
so in 2004 with Philadelphia.
Although the Chiefs have an early lead over the Broncos in the division, Reid's primary focus is with his team.
"You just get into this thing and you hold things that you can control and that's practicing right and going through the different steps." Reid said in a Chiefs press
Along with a revamped franchise, the fan base is more exuberant than ever. The fans showed that on Oct.13 when the Chiefs hosted the Raiders, and shattered the Guinness World Record at Arrowhead Stadium for loudest stadium in the world.
release. "Prepare yourself, you respect the opponent, you study the opponent and then you get yourself right. If you just stay tight with that, all of the other stuff doesn't matter."
The Chiefs are nearing the midway point
through the season. So far, they've found a way to win all of their games.
THE BREW
Given the Broncos high-powered offense, despite a recent loss, every game will be crucial for the Chiefs as they try to stay ahead and eventually earn the No. 1 seed in the AFC going into January.
For now, the players have found a way to excel under Reid's guidance and are exceeding expectations.
"Every game you prepare yourself, do the best you possibly can do to win every game." Reid said in a Chiefs press release. "That's how you prepare. Any less, you can't do that in this business."

Big 12 still proves preseason predictions wrong
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It has been tougher than ever to figure out the Big 12 this year.
Texas Tech (7-0, 4-0 Big 12), which was picked to finish seventh in the league's preseason poll, is now ranked 10th in the country and alone in first place.
Baylor (6- 0, 3-0) is tied for second with Texas (4-2, 3-0), ranked No. 6 nationally and the Big 12's highest team in the BCS standings at No. 8.
The bottom half of the Big 12 might be just as surprising. Just one year after landing nine bowl bids, half of the league is below .500 overall. That includes defending league champion Kansas State and TCU, which was picked to finish third behind Oklahoma State and Oklahoma before play began.
First-year Texas Tech coach Kliff
Kingsbury is happy to be on the right end of a topsy-turvy season in the Big 12.
"We were basically picked 10th in our conference to start the year, so if we would have believed that, we wouldn't be where we're at right now," Kingsbury said.
Texas Tech has surged to the top of the league with strong, balanced play on both sides of the ball. It's not surprising that the Red Raiders are scoring points in bunches, given their history. But Texas Tech's defense, which is allowing just 18.7 points per game, is perhaps the biggest reason for that undefeated record.
"Texas Tech is a good defensive football team. A lot of guys coming back. Well-coached, they were in position. They played hard," West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen after the Red Raiders held his team scoreless in the fourth quarter and hung on for a 37-27
win Saturday. Still, the Red Raiders have only beaten one team that's currently
"We were basically picked 10th in our conference to start the year, so if we would have believed that, we wouldn't be where we're at right now."

The Red Raiders will get a chance to silence their doubters on Saturday at No. 17 Oklahoma (6-1, 3-1), which Kingsbury acknowledged will be his team's tough test to test
over .500 and that's Texas State of the Sun Belt.
date.
"Going on the road in that type of environment against that type of opponent, it's going to be a huge challenge for our guys," Kinesbury said.
Baylor has made quite a splash nationally with an offense that's threatening to become the most prolific in the history of the Big 12 — or any league, for that matter. But like the Red Raiders, the bears have been surprisingly strong on defense.
Baylor is seventh in the country with just 16.2 points allowed per game following Saturday's 71-7 thrashing of Iowa State (1-5, 0-3). Baylor is also fourth nationally with 3.5 sacks per game, and Kansas coach Charlie Weis believes that has been set up by the team's explosive offense.
"The fact that their offense has scored so many points, it lets those pass rushing defensive ends
turn it loose. They have speed and athleticism and depth at the defensive end position," said Weis, whose Jayhawks (2-4, 0-3) host Baylor this weekend. "It all comes from the fact that the offense is getting on top of people so much that those rushers can turn it loose and I think that's what makes them tick."
Baylor, which finished just 4-5 in the Big 12 last season, is a $35\frac{1}{2}$-point favorite against Kansas. Bears coach Art Briles doesn't expect his team to overlook the struggling Jayhawks.
"We did take some body shots over the last couple of years, and even some face shots. You know, it's not like we're a clean, well-dressed football team. We've been weathered a little bit, so that part of it establishes humility and hunger," Briles said.
Though the Jayhawks kept it close against the Sooners last weekend.
their 34-19 defeat was their third straight by double digits.
Kansas, Kansas State, TCU, West Virginia and Iowa State each have at least four losses and are in danger of missing out on bowl eligibility. TCU (3-4, 1-3) hosts Texas on Saturday with a chance to climb back to .500 ahead of a three-game stretch against fellow second-division opponents.
Kansas State (2-4, 0-3) had an extra week off after giving Baylor a scare in a 35-25 loss. The Wildcats have a two-game homestand coming up against West Virginia and Iowa State, which would seem like the perfect opportunity for them to get back to .500 and start pushing for a bowl bid.
"I would like to think that we've given a significant amount of time trying to correct the mistakes that we've made," Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said.

COMMENTARY Weis unable to make halftime adjustments
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
Many consider Charles Dickens' magnum opus to be "A Tale of Two Cities" Coach Charlie Weis is working on a book himself about the Big 12 conference season. It is titled "A Tale of Two Halves." So far, it hasn't been well-received.
The second half of games have not been good for Weis. The Oklahoma game epitomizes this.
Weis had the Sooners where he wanted them going into halftime. While Kansas was trailing 18-13, his team was still in contention. The running game exploited Oklahoma's defensive front, and junior Jake Heaps had a touchdown pass on a beautifully called play action, culminating a 70-yard drive which was the best of Kansas' season. The blueprint was set to beat Oklahoma in the second half.
Then halftime came. Weis appeared to give a speech written mainly by filling out a page of Mad Libs, and his team was dominated in the last thirty minutes of the game.
the last thirty minutes of the game.
In the third quarter, Kansas
amassed 18 yards of offense. In the
fourth, that number shrunk to 10.
This amounts to 28 yards in one
half. Oklahoma got more yards
on Trey Millard's third quarter
rush than Kansas had in the entire
second half.
Heaps completed one pass after the break. That pass was completed for negative two yards. Kansas State passed for more yards on Saturday than Kansas did in the second half, and Kansas State was on its bye week. Meanwhile, James Sims had six rushes in the second half. On Kansas' impressive 70-yard scoring drive, Sims had eight rushes.
This kind of performance is indicative of a coach who cannot make halftime adjustments.
The loss to Oklahoma is not the only example of poor second half play and preparation. The TCU game the week prior is demonstrative as well. Kansas was tied at ten with TCU going into the break. While TCU has been savaged by disappointing play and injuries, TCU is still good enough to feel good about a halftime tie.
The first offensive play run by TCU in the third quarter was a 75-yard touchdown strike. The next drive, Kansas fumbled. TCU scored in its subsequent drive. Before fans watching on TV could even heat up a bag of microwave popcorn, Kansas was facing a two-touchdown deficit.
The struggles don't stop at TCU. Going into halftime against Texas Tech, Kansas trailed 20-10. The team left Memorial Stadium that afternoon having lost 54-16. In that game, it was defense that couldn't adjust. Texas Tech scored a touchdown or a field goal on six of its first seven drives. Kansas was left searching for answers, and Wets could not provide them.
in three Big 12 games, the Jay-
hawks have been outscored in the second half 67-19. In contrast, they have only been outscored 48-33 in the first half.
Against Baylor's prolific offense, Kansas' chances to win are slim. That notwithstanding, Weis can still take positives out of the game. One of those positives could be better play in the second half than the first half.
Unless Weis can find a way to make adjustments in the second half, he may soon be adjusting to unemployment.

Freshman quarterback Montell Cozart stood on the sidelines before the Oklahoma game on Saturday knowing that the game plan his coaches had designed involved Cozart taking his first snaps as a Jayhawk.
Cozart had a look of composure on his face as senior running back James Sims stood next to him, 'Think of it the same as a high school game, you're the man,' Sims told Cozart.
His first drive began with a
"He wasn't nervous at all." Sims said. "Everyone's going to look up to him because he has the ball in his hands."
Freshman Montell Cozart joins the quarterback rotation

On his second drive Cozart ran

tor a nine-yard gain on first down,
but after five plays and a total gain
of 19 yards the Jayhawks punted.
That was it for Cozart on the day,
eight plays and an inconclusive beginning to his college career.
"There were a couple things he could have done differently, but I think the best thing that happened was he got the butterflies out," Coach Charlie Weis said. "I think that he'll just keep getting better and better from here."
The opportunity to redshift Cozart and save a year of eligibility is gone now, and Weis wouldn't risk that if he didn't have a role in mind for Cozart this season.
"That was part of the plan. You can't say, 'well let's go play him for nine snaps against Oklahoma' and then sit him," Weis said.
Don't be surprised if Cozart plays more snaps this Saturday against Baylor, a team that plays
cover-four defense and has athletic defensive ends that rush the quarterback off the edges.
Baylor's defensive scheme could provide the chance for a quarterback with Cozart's running ability to scramble out of the pocket for big gains, as Kansas State quarterback Daniel Sams did when he ran for 199 yards and three touchdowns against the Bears two weeks ago.
weeks ago. "As we go forward he'll definitely be in our thoughts." Weis said of putting Cozart on the field. "You'll definitely see him show up in the game."
Jake Heaps is still the starting quarterback and knew before the game that Cozart would get playing time.
"Jake handled it very well, because we don't lie to our players or mislead them. We told him on Monday we were going to do this. It wasn't something that just like materialized on game day," Weis said.
Weis mentioned during his Monday teleconference with the Big 12 media that he would come up with the game plan for Baylor on Monday night and go over the ideas with both quarterbacks.

"We'll visit with those guys after we know what we're doing, and we'll tell them exactly what the game plan is;" Weis said.

Titans owner, Kansas alumnus dies at 90
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Tennessee Titans owner K.S. "Bud" Adams died at age 90 of natural causes Monday at his home in Houston.
Adams was a co-founder of the American Football League, along with former Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt.
The Adams Alumni Center on campus is named for Bud Adams's father K.S. "Boots" Adams, also an alumnus of the University. The family was a major donor for the University.
Adams is a Kansas alumnus. He earned a letter in 1942 as quarterback for the Jayhawks, and was also a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.
In 1960, Coan rushed for two touchdowns as Kansas defeated the No. 1 ranked Missouri Tigers 23-7. Coan's transfer prompted a protest from Missouri coach Don Faurrot. The Big Eight conference would soon rule Coan ineligible and force Kansas to forfeit the game.
Adams presided over 409 wins
In 1959, Bud Adams paid for a plane ticket for a TCU freshman running back, Bert Coan, to fly to Chicago for an all-star football game. Coan transferred to Kansas the next season.
In the end, both schools counted the game as a win, and the game remains a controversial point in the rivalry.

with his NFL organization, which is more than any current NFL owner. His Houston Ollers won the first two AFL titles in 1960 and 1961.
"He was a brilliant entrepreneur with a terrific sense of humor that helped lighten many a tense meeting."
"Bud Adams played a pivotal role in the growth of pro football as a pioneer and innovator," NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "As a founding owner of the American Football League that began play in 1960, Bud saw the potential of pro football and brought the game to new cities and new heights of popularity, first in Houston and then in Nashville." Goodell spoke highly of the late Kansas alumnus.
"He was a brilliant entrepreneur with a terrific sense of humor that helped lighten many a tense meeting." Goodell said. "Bud was truly a gift to the NFL. We extend our deepest sympathy to his daughters Susan and Amy, and the entire family"

Student Senate to vote tonight on coalition resolution
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
The Student Rights Committee of Student Senate voted last week to send a resolution on coalitions to full senate tonight for a vote.
The resolution would affirm the removal of Senate coalitions, such as KUnited and Ad Astra, from the election process and leave candidates to run independently of a group affiliation.
Although the resolution itself does not affect election procedure, if it passes, senators working on election reform legislation will proceed to remove coalitions from their election reform bill and focus on rules for individual candidates.
With the new legislation, students would no longer be able to go down
the line and vote based on a specific group. Ballots would only list the names of the candidates running for each position.
Student Body President Marcus Tetwil ran with the coalition Ad Astra last semester, but he helped author the resolution to eliminate coalitions to make the election process more inclusive.
"It shouldn't be about one team's popularity contest and how they can bury everyone else from being involved in the process," Tetwiler said.
Tetwiler supports the resolution because he hopes that without coalitions, elections will be more localized, each school would have its own debates and the candidates could focus on what their school needs rather than on the platforms
of the presidential candidate they support.
"They'll have their constituents at heart first," Tewiler said.
Thomas Plummer, a member of the Student Rights Committee, does not support the resolution.
He ran in and won three campaigns under KUnited, and he said coalitions help individuals unite to promote change.
Plummer said he would rather focus the debate on specific election reform, which he said everyone agrees is needed.
"Ad Astra winning this year is the best example, in my mind, of coalitions," Plummer said. "It shows the strength of coalitions and what it can be."
"A lot of people think it's this [eliminate coalitions] or nothing,"
Plummer said he likes the debate that has surrounded this issue because it shows how many possibilities there are in terms of election reform, but that he thought the resolution should have been seen by two committees, as is traditionally done before a resolution or bill goes to full senate.
Plummer said. "But that's kind of silly because with or without them, it's natural for people to pair up on common ground."
Tetwiler said he understands that many people wanted to have a say on the resolution before it went to full senate, but that vice president Emma Halling chooses where the bills and resolutions go. Tetwiler supported Halling's decision to send it to the Student Rights Committee.
"I was really proud of the way rights committee handled the debate," Tetwiler said. "Anyone who wanted their voice heard had their voice heard at the committee."
Michael Wade Smith, a former student body president, was one non-committee member who spoke at the meeting. He spoke out against the resolution.
Normally, only committee members have speaking rights at meetings but because there were others interested in voicing their opinions, the committee agreed to allow non-committee members to speak if they wanted to.
Though Hannah Bolton, last year's student body president, did not attend the committee meeting, she said she supports Smith's position.
Bolton said coalitions are incredibly important to bring young leaders together and help them understand how Student Senate works. She said she thinks that voter turnout would decrease without coalitions.
"I ran in four campaigns, so I was aware of all of the problems with Student Senate, and there are a lot of problems associated with the student elections." Bolton said. "But I don't believe the elimination of coalitions is the right path."
Full Senate will hear the resolution and vote on it tonight at their meeting in Alderson Auditorium at 6:30 p.m.
Edited by Emma McElhaney
WHAT DO YOU THINK? The Kansan asked students how they felt about removing coalitions from the Student Senate election process.
Mrs.
"I think it would be a good thing to take it [coalitions] out so it's not two groups against each other, but students voting on the issues instead of voting on groups their friends affiliate with."
Becca Gordan,
senior from Omaha, Neb.
"I don't know a lot about it. I think it'd make more sense to not have coalitions so we can vote on individuals. I like that better."
— Louis Fehlig,
junior from Overland Park
"I guess if you knew someone you could put a name to a group. I didn't vote because I didn't know anything. It would be less anonymous [without coalitions]. You could vote for individuals instead of a group of people behind a group name."

"I would agree with that [removing coalitions]. I think I'd be more likely to vote."

Leadership program for international women opens to Kansans

The KU Women's Leadership Institute will host its international residency program for the fifth time this summer, along with one major change. In past years, the program was offered exclusively to women from international communities. This time it is open to Kansas women as well.
The institute traditionally focused its efforts on developing the leadership skills of women from countries in North Africa, South Asia and the Middle East. Through an effort

supported by the University's Endowment Association, this summer's residency will include undergraduate women in Kansas with at least one year left in their studies. Preference will be given to those from small or rural communities.
"One of the striking things about the issue of women's leadership is how quickly you realize the issues affecting women internationally are not that much different
The institute staff hopes that participants will gain a farreaching perspective that carries into their respective job fields. Allison Colburn, a 2013 Kansas graduate and multiyear staff member at the institute, suggests that women at the University take this opportunity seriously.
During the four-week residency, participants will work in tandem with University faculty and staff as well as women from an array of professional fields. Participants will also develop projects to take back to their home communities.

As a student in Kansas, I
think that it is valuable to any KU student to have a connection worldwide because it creates an opportunity for networking that you can't get in the classroom," Colburn said.
Participants in the residency will gain an international perspective, including how domestic issues women face in the U.S. also affect women globally.

Most college students ignore risks of texting while driving
I ASHLEIGH TIDWELL
atidwell@kansan.com
We've seen the commercials and heard the horror stories — texting while driving is dangerous. So why do we still do it?
A study released by King's College in Pennsylvania shows that four out of five college students have texted while driving even though they are aware of the risks. That's an overwhelming 80 percent of college students.
Seriously, why?
For Kristen Korona, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., the answer is overconfidence.
"People think they are good at it and they won't ever get in a wreck." Korona said. "They don't take it seriously enough and don't see it as a distraction."
It's time to get serious.

Spencer Museum of Art plans $5M renovation project
MCKENNA HARFORD
mbarford@kansan.com
The Kansas Board of Regents approved plans on Monday for the renovation of the Spencer Museum of Art, allowing the museum to pursue the funding needed for the estimated $5 million restructuring of the lobby, Print Study Room and Central Court.
"This project will provide students and visitors with enriching new experiences by making the art and the spaces where art is exhibited more accessible and engaging," said
Saralyn Reece Hardy, director of the museum.
The Spencer Museum of Art is already recognized as one of the top university art museums in the nation because of its expansive educational and public programs, but with the new expansions, it will be able to connect more deeply with artists, scholars and visitors.
The first phase of the renovation will focus on the existing museum facility, mostly on the lobby and Central Court. This will consist of updates to the storage and research facility, teaching gallery, reception room and auditorium. It will also
introduce a multisee object study room for individual students and classes. The Print Study Room will be renovated with funds from an anonymous donor, which will allow the museum to enhance public access to over 16,000 prints.
"When people come to experience these works of art, we want everything about that experience to honor and celebrate the diverse human creativity and incredible scholarly potential of our collections." Reece Hardy said.
So far the museum has been able to raise $3.4 million from private donations, but it plans on
continuing to raise money through a capital campaign to make sure all of the renovations can be made. Reece Hardy hopes that these changes will create a space for the community to explore important issues.
"We have a responsibility not only to care for these objects, but also to create opportunities for visitors to connect with them," Reece Hardy said.
The core of the project is renovations of the study spaces, which shows the museum's commitment to enhance the student experience.
"The Spencer's mission is to encourage interdisciplinary exploration at the intersection of art, ideas and experience, and with the renovation the museum will be even better able to serve its mission," Straughn said.
Director of Academic Programs Celka Straughn said she thinks these renovations will allow the museum to meet the needs of the 21st century student and hopefully enhance how students are able to interact with the art.

from ones being faced by women in Kansas," said Becky Eason, co-director of the institute and associate director of the Center for Public Partnerships and Research.
"This is a unique chance for students to develop their leadership skills while transcending cultural and economic barriers," said Colburn.
This opportunity is incredibly pertinent to female students interested in enhancing their leadership skills and making progress on issues affecting their communities.

In 2011, Kansas enacted a ban on texting while driving in an attempt to decrease the number of accidents caused by distracted driving.

But it hasn't stopped students from doing it.
message. And, in the time it takes to send the message, the driver has increased their risk of crashing by 23 times, according to texting anddrivingsafety.com.
"I literally have to yell at a couple of my friends to stop texting when I'm in the car with them," Korona said.
"Friends should make it a point to tell their friends to stop," Korona said. "Friends don't let friends text and drive."
For Korona it's an unnecessary and easily avoidable distraction, and it's not worth the risk, so she encourages students to put down their phones and make sure their friends do, too.

Community members gather to pay their respects to Michael Landsberry, a 45-year-old eighth-grade math teacher, soccer coach and former Marine, who was killed by an eighth-grader at Sparks Middle School on Monday in Sparks, Nev.
Nev. boy says he came face-to-face with shooter
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPARKS, Nev. — Students covered in fear and pleaded for their lives as a 12-year-old Nevada boy went on a schoolyard rampage with a handgun he brought from home, waving the weapon at frightened classmates and shooting a math teacher in the chest on a basketball court.
The boy opened fire Monday morning on the Sparks Middle School campus, wounding two boys and killing the teacher before he turned the gun on himself.
Washoe County School District police revealed Tuesday that the seventh-grader brought the 9mm semi-automatic Ruger handgun from his home, but authorities were still working to determine how he obtained it. The student's parents were cooperating with authorities and could face charges in the case, police said.
Eighth-grader Angelo Ferro recalled burying his face in his hands and pleading for his life as the boy waved the gun and threatened to shoot. Another seventh
grader and Ferro's math teacher, Michael Landsberry, lay gunned down nearby.
"The whole time I was hoping Mr. L was OK, we'd all get through it, it was a bad dream." Ferro told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Ferro, 13, was in the schoolyard with friends when the violence started.
He heard a pop about 15 minutes before the morning bell rang but didn't think much of it. Then he saw an injured boy clutching his wounded arm, and he watched Landsberry walk toward the gunman and take a bullet to the chest.
Unable to get inside the locked-down school. Ferro and others crouched against the building for safety but soon came face-to-face with the armed student.
Ferro didn't know the boy but said he and other frightened classmates tried to talk him out of firing. But something distracted the boy and he didn't shoot.
"You could hear the panic," Ferro said. "He left, thank God."
A series of 911 calls made from the school also reflected the terror
of the situation, including an omnious report of "teacher down."
"Can you send please send police out here," a panicked student told a 911 dispatcher. "There's a kid with a gun."
for the shooting but said they interviewed 20 or 30 witnesses and are looking into any prior connections between the victims and the shooter.

"Everybody wants to know why — that's the big question," Sparks Deputy Police Chief
Tom Miller said. "The answer is, we don't know right now."

Landsberry's actions gave some students enough time to run to safety.
Police said they believe the shooter at one point tried to enter the school but couldn't open the door because
of emergency lockdown procedures.
Atter killing Landsberry, the boy fired at a second student, hitting him in the abdomen. He then shot himself in the head.
The two 12-year-old boys who were wounded are in stable condition and recovering.

Senior Master Sgt. Robert Garrett attended middle school with Landsbury in Reno before serving as his supervisor in recent years at the Nevada Air National Guard.
"Every one of the people I have talked to just knew that Mike was in there," Garrett said. "He was the guy that would have jumped in there to stop the bullets from hitting other kids. And sure enough, it was."

Davis teams with Docking in Kansas governor's race
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Paul Davis on Tuesday introduced Jill Docking as his running mate, making taxes and education spending the focus of their 2014 campaign.

Obama's agenda by placing two delegates to the Democratic national convention at the top of their ticket.
He and Docking criticized Brownback's cuts to income tax cuts enacted in 2012, saying the higher sales and property taxes put too much of a burden on the middle class.
Davis, 41, is the Kansas House minority leader. He announced that he was seeking his party's nomination for the gubernatorial ticket in September — his first bid at statewide election.
"When you're in a hole, the first thing that you do is you stop digging. You cannot go farther in terms of income tax cuts that this state simply cannot afford," Davis said.
Kansas Republican Party Executive Director Clay Barker said legislators had to focus on all areas of government, not just education, when setting spending priorities.
"I think there is a difference in pushing for stronger and quality education versus just pushing for
more money. Money is a component of that but it's not the only component," Barker said.
Docking's addition to the Davis team will help give the Democratic ticket name recognition, which should help in fundraising efforts. Barker noted that no Docking has won an election in Kansas in more than 30 years.

Just walked in front of Allen Field-house with my pants at my ankles.
No shame.
And now the heating on/off kerfuffle begins...
I think this tree just used razor leaf on me. It was not very effective.
Dear editor, please make The Office couple happen!
Yeah, so, uh, can you not make out in the library?
Does anyone else feel personally victimized by that research methods midterm?
My friends and I compare things to the KU parking department when we want to prove how much we hate something.
Did notap for six months. It was effective.
I feel bad for the TAs that have to take attendance of their 60+ students in Budig 120, now that Professor Pasik-Duncan has made the MWF lecture MANDATORY!
CHIEF KEEF
When bored at work I get to walk out of my office and watch KU basketball practices. AFH is the most glorious place, I'm going to be a baseball secretary assistant forever. Never graduating.
Actually by that logic, the FFA editor threw for more yards than Jake Heaps in the second half. And so did Batman. Coincidence? I think not.
I need to find someone with a gerilla suit for halloween. Sincerely banana suit nur
The FFA should have snapchat.
I did a push up. Why am I still fat?
You know, it'd be real nice if people actually read the rules of the indoor track at the Rec.
I told myself that I was going to stop judging people on their appearance but then I saw a lady with sweatpants tucked into her Uggs on the way to class.
If you are new to the Midwest, don't try to understand the weather here. It is more complex than you think and you will likely get a headache.
How many brownie points should I get by going shopping with three girls for an afternoon?
Young miss, I'm sorry, but you are quite distracting when the entirety of your buttocks exit your pants at relativistic speeds as you sit down.
Controversial rapper serves as face of violent crime
Chief Keef is the most important rapper in America. Chief Keef is
creating brutal, nihilistic music about a generation of youth's anger and self-destruction. Chief Keef, or Keith Cozart, turned 18 in August.
With heads banging, trap beats blaring and an armory of weapons flailing back and forth, I'd be wary if I were Keith Cozart's camera man.
I tap the play button on the YouTube video and click up the volume. Someone in the back yells, "Hell yeah, Chief Keef," and half-a-dozen hipsters jab their elbows out to dance like Keef and his crew do in the video. It dies in a smattering of laughter.
His cruel indifference, cartoonish misgery and Disney-villain love of violence is so extreme that
all anyone can do at first is laugh. And then you realize it's serious.
"Hate Bein' Sober," "No Tomorrow" and "3Hunna," are all packed with verses about benders, daily gun violence and border wars. The content is nothing new, but the delivery and context is. Rapping over skittering trap beats, Keef's verses are mumbled and apathetic
He ignores lawsuits and court appearances. He tweets jokes and taunts about shooting victims in rival neighborhoods. He treats the world around him with an amused indifference.
If you can afford a few hours, listen to "This American Life's" two-part special on Harper High School, which is near Chief Keef's neighborhood. Modern violence in these places is made up of revenge killings for revenge killings for revenge killings. Violence pervades everything and wears down even the staunchest resisters. There is no escape from the street violence and this oppressive world takes a toll.
I will use the following text:

From this bleak backdrop, Chief Keef emerged. He was the boiling point of a culture of endless, needless violence. Keith Cozart's success was a Cinderella story of viral videos, Twitter beefs and abrasive lyricism.
in this way, South Side Chicago's kids identified with him infinitely
more than mainstream artists. Keef's peers didn't gravitate to glamour, love or the hip-hop game at large. They saw themselves in the lyrics of gun violence, petty crime and masochistic drug use. They kick-started Keef's career and remain core fans today.
When Keef started to gain traction beyond his hometown of Chicago, the rest of his story gained national attention. His genre of grim, destructive music was dubbed "Drill" and he was signed to a major label. Suddenly Keef's rage was earning him money back.
The thing is, the more I read about and listen to this cruel anti-hero, the more I think that his success is the best thing to happen to urban Chicago in years.
His is the face pictured on a nightly newcast about street vio
lence. When he violates his parole, gets lampooned by hipsters and catapulted to fame by his peers, he's shoving the problems of violence into the public consciousness. Intentionally or not, he's bringing more attention and potentially more solutions to the streets of Chicago than anyone else out there.
He's a window into the mentality of some of the most violent people in Chicago's South Side. While a product of cyclical violence and poverty, he could be the beginning of the solution for urban violence everywhere.
GOVERNMENT
If all else goes wrong, Chief Keef,
at least you're finally rich.

Budget compromise unlikely in current political climate
Imagine that by February both houses of Congress and the President have amicably come to a long-term budget agreement while keeping the government open and avoiding default on our national debt. Imagine that they have done so without resorting to the type of brinksmanship that now characterizes the dysfunction of our democracy and without shaking consumer confidence in this fragile economy.
By Clay Cosby
çcosby@kansan.com
The outlandishness of this possibility is representative of how belief in the democratic process has eroded. As unlikely as compromise seems, it may be the only option left after the shutdown resulted in disastrous approval ratings, particularly for the Republican Party at 28 percent in Gallup's October poll, but a record low for both.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other prominent party figures including Govs. Jeb Bush and Scott Walker have already begun to take the lead by declaring that the shutdown strategy was doomed from the start. However, a faction of right-wingers in the House, including freshman Texas Rep. Ted Cruz, are still advocating the use of this failed strategy. Cruz has said as recently as this past weekend, "I am willing to do anything to stop Obamaacare."
Republicans can take the path that McConnell has indicated and focus on 2014, oddly enough listening to President Obama's advice for dissenters to "argue for your position and win an election," but instead it is likely that the party will continue with a splintered approach. However, I do expect cooler heads in the Senate to prevail initially after laying down for the rabble-rouser (Cruz and company) in the House. I'm not optimistic enough
about the effectiveness of our elected leaders to believe that any deal will be made without another attempt to destabilize the country, but they will be able to keep the lights on at the FDA this time.
Lawrence's own Rep. Lynn Jenkins voted to end the shutdown despite being a proponent of the strategy and voting for it to begin with, but only because she is being forced to respond to a constituency that can hold her accountable. She is aware that her upcoming race against Democratic challenger Margie Wakefield will be a fight, and she cannot afford to be on the wrong side of the vote twice. Instead she attempted to save face and try to appear as a "compromiser" by voting to end the shutdown after helping to instigate it. Standard and Poor's Credit Rating Agency estimated that the shutdown shaved at least 0.6 percent off of annualized fourth-quarter 2013 GDP growth, with $24 billion in economic growth lost to the shutdown.
No other Kansas governor has voted to return funding to the government, and Kansas senior Sen. Pat Roberts was one of only 18 Senate Republicans to oppose the re-opening agreement.
process. It goes beyond failing consumer confidence in a fragile economy; it threatens the fabric of our democracy and is shaping the perception of political participation for a generation.
There are real ramifications for this irresponsibility that go way beyond even the economic impact. People my age have spent their formative years of political development without an example of a functional democratic
It is difficult to see a solution to this problem as long as this extreme level of ennemy exists between the two parties. If the American public grows more frustrated with the fringe "idealists" who are unwilling to compromise during the most recent in a long line of debacles, then there is a chance for a fundamental change in how Washington is working.
historical statistics indicate that change is unlikely despite the record-breaking levels of disapproval. Even when Congressional approval ratings have been higher, around 30 percent, re-election rates have been closer to 90 percent in Congress.
10-90 percent in going unfortunely many of the biggest shutdown stalwarts represent districts so affected by gerrymandering that their seats will be safe from most opposition, which allowed many of them to commit to the shutdown strategy in the first place.
This level of dysfunction has us all scratching our heads for the root of the problem. All I can ascertain is that as citizens and important contributors to the democratic process, we cannot simply accept the status quo and expect anything to improve. Nothing will change the fundamental gridlock for the good of the people unless we as constituents hold our representatives accountable for this cyclical nature of crisis-to-crisis governance.

IDENTITY
Musical authenticity is more than meets the eye
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
For instance, The Rubens prefer their music to be considered as blues-rock as opposed to pop rock. They explained their reasoning to be that the blues has such deeply implanted roots within the music industry, in stark contrast to pop music. Their careful consideration of their sound is vital.
Two hours after landing at Chicago O'Hare International Airport and
Five minutes after the interview, the band appeared on stage in the same ragged jeans and t-shirts I just saw them in. With a band like The Rubens, what you see is what you get.
The five Aussie natives, three of which are brothers, comfortably cracked jokes and contributed thoughtful responses to each question asked. Amidst the laughter and boyish banter, the word "authenticity" became a reoccurring matter of importance to each individual member and the group as a whole.
Two hours after landing at Chicago O'Hare International Airport and enjoying a quick welcome home Potbella's pit stop, I was sitting in the Green Room at the music venue Evanston SPACE. I was there to help Val Haller, the founder of Valslist.com and the woman I intern for, with her interview of the Australian band The Rubens
On the opposite side of the authenticity spectrum is Mumford & Sons. Though I admittedly have six of their songs in the vast abyss of my iTunes library, I like to think they got there on accident.
In an interview with The Guardian, front man Marcus Mumford attempts to defend his band from naysayers like myself by saying that, "The authenticity thing has never been an issue for me. Not since I came to the realization that (Bob) Dylan, who's probably my favorite artist ever, the richest artist for me, didn't give a shit about authenticity. He changed his name. And modeled himself on Woodie Guthrie. And lied to everyone about who he was."
Upon reading this, I couldn't help but notice that my hands had formed into fists. After I simmered down and digested the fact that Mumford had just discredited the one-and-only Bob Dylan, I found myself wondering what it even means to be authentic. Is
FFA OF THE DAY
In a sea of similarities, artists continually struggle to stand out above the rest. In my opinion, if artists spent less time crafting their image and more time cultivating their sound, the road to recognition would be a much shorter trip.
Mumford & Sons, for example, was doomed from the beginning by presenting their band with a name that is highly misleading, seeing as not a single band member happens to be an offspring of Marcus Mumford (thankfully). I think that if the group were to focus less on their hoedown attire and more on their music, then perhaps each track would illustrate some innovation other than the intense strumming of string instruments that sounds like a barnyard explosion.
By Lyndsey Havens
lhavens@kansan.com
One group that is far more pleasing to the ears, and one that I feel exemplifies the importance of sound over image, is Alt-J. Though I bet most wouldn't be able to point any member out in a crowd, I'm certain that the group would be recognized upon hearing just one note of any song off their debut album. Their music incorporates instruments that, when combined and with the right arrangements, create a sound unlike any other. And that's the point.
it possible to remain authentic in the realms of the music industry? I surely think so.
Lyndsey Havens is a sophomore majoring in journalism from Chicago.
We've all heard the phrase "mind over matter," but when it comes to artist authenticity within the music industry, I believe it should rather be "music over matter." Instead of using willpower to overcome physical problems, perhaps all it takes is music.

COFFEE
Avoid packing on pounds with homemade fall lattes
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
hsundermeyer@kansan.com
"I love everything about fall — the weather, the fashion, decorations and the holidays. But I especially love when I can finally get my pumpkin spice latte. It's so delicious," said Ashlee Spring, a sophomore from Topeka.
However, many are unaware of the incredibly low nutritional value, high sugar and fat content. According to Starbucks' website, a 16 ounce pumpkin spice latte contains 47 grams of sugar, 13 grams of fat and clocks in at a whopping 380 calories. But if you just can't live without that cozy latte, here are several ways to make it easier on your waistband (and your wallet).
Requesting skim milk, skipping the whipped cream and asking for one less pump of flavoring can cut back 150 calories. Still not worth the time in the gym? Here's a healthier, homemade alternative
that won't break the bank.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Ingredients:
1 cup almond milk
1 cup hot brewed coffee
2 tablespoons pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy and serve warm.
Not into the PSL-craze? There are plenty of other fall favorites available at any coffee shop.
"My favorite fall drinks are the pumpkin spice lattes ice, rather than served hot," said Dustin Pickett, a junior from Overland Park. "Also the salted caramel mocha." My first fall-winter drink that I ever tried was the pepermint mocha, and now I look forward to it every year."
Rising in popularity, the Salted Caramel Mocha provides coffee lovers with that perfect combo of sweet and salty. But, it's also not for those on a diet. The calorie count ranges from 300 to 600 depending on the size. Never fear — with this homemade recipe, you can control the ingredients
along with your sugar intake.
WORLD WAR Z
Salted Caramel Mocha Ingredients:
Prepare coffee. Place caramel sauce, cocoa powder and sea salt in a mug. Pour coffee into the mug, stirring to combine. Heat milk in the microwave or on the stove and stir in. Taste and add more caramel, cocoa and/or salt to taste. Top with caramel sauce and a pinch of sea salt.
Directions:
the leaves are changing,we no longer break a sweat walking to class and the first basketball game is just around the corner.So celebrate and indulge every once in a while. But for those weekly coffee fixes, test out some homemade alternatives.

SUA brings zombie expert Max Brooks to University

experts." Austin Becker, assistant coordinator for the event, said. "He's a big cultural influence ... I've heard good things, and I think he's excited to be here as well."
"World War Z" is a 2006 horror-apocalyptic novel about mankind struggling to survive a zombie virus and is a follow-up to Brooks's satirical survival manual, "The Zombie Survival Guide."
"World War Z" was the basis for the 2013 movie, with the same title, starring Brad Pitt.
In addition to his books, Brooks has written a comic book series, "G.I. Joe: Hearts and Minds," and has done acting and voice-over work for shows such as "Roseanne" and "Justice League."
LUCY. I'M HOME
"It's something we decided to do [because] it's become a big cultural thing, a big trend." Becker said. "This is kind of our test run."
This event is part of SUA's Zombie Week, which includes other zombie-related events such as Zombie Tea at 3, Thursday, Oct. 24, where "zombie vaccines" will be served, and the Jogging Dead: Zombie Survival 5K, Sunday, Oct. 27, where runners will outrun "an infectious zombie swarm" through an obstacle course.

CBS to air colorized episodes of 'I Love Lucy' in December
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — There was never any doubt that "I Love Lucy" was full of color. But for those whose imaginations need some help, CBS will air in December a one-hour special featuring two newly colorized classic episodes of the 1950s series.
The "I Love Lucy Christmas Special" will consist of the seldom seen "Christmas Episode" and the grape-stopping classic "Lucy's Italian Movie", airing Friday, Dec. 20, at 8 p.m. ET / PT. The show which featured Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, and Vivian Vance and William Frawley as the Ricardos' friends and landlords, Ethel and Fred Mertz, is celebrating its 62nd anniversary.
The holiday episode, which has the Ricardos and Mertzes reminiscing while decorating a Christmas tree, was first broadcast in December 1956 and went into hiding, failing to be included in the series' long history of repeats while in syndication. It was rediscovered in 1989, with select airings since then.
"Lucy's Italian Movie" was originally broadcast in March 1956 and became an instant classic in the art of talking with one's hands and the finesse in slathering crushed grapes across a foe's face. The episode finds the Ricardos and Mertzes in Rome, where Lucy is invited by a famous Italian film director to appear in his next picture,
"Bitter Grapes." And Lucy does
what Lucy does: She gets in a
pickle.
There will be no interruption between episodes, with the main titles and end credits of the two episodes coming at the beginning and end of the hour.
CBS, whose studio owns the rights to the "I Love Lucy" library, didn't immediately respond to an inquiry on the decision to colorize the episodes with a "vintage look," as the news release states. Perhaps just a way to hold the interest of
Not that it needs the tinting for a boost. When waxing on the show's 62nd anniversary, Los Angeles Times TV critic Robert Lloyd wrote: "Shot to film, the series — the first multicamera sitcom — retains a pristine clarity that keeps it feeling oddly contemporary, black-and-white notwithstanding."
a younger generation. It wouldn't be the first time color was applied to the classic series — photos from the series have been hued up on postcards, t lunch pains, etc.

Desaparecidos, So So Glos bring powerful rock show to Liberty Hall
DUNCAN MCHENRY
dmchenry@kansan.com
There's something about Liberty Hall — maybe it's the hand-painted murals on the walls or the huge general admission standing area — that makes it perfect for a chest-rattling rock show.
Monday night's concert featured alternative bands Desaparecidos and The So So Glos, and drew a varied audience of fans. The music roared and flexed its sonic muscles, but the vibe stayed mellow as a young guy perched on his dad's shoulders and thrust a neon green glow stick skyward alongside head-nodding college kids.
Brooklyn, N.Y., paid graphic tee homage to East Coast rap groups Wu-Tang Clan and The Beastie Boys as they warmed up the crowd. Lead singer and bassist Alex Levine animated the initially sleepy room with his loose attitude and stage presence. As they launched into the energetic standout "Speakeasy," he climbed atop the amp stacks and conversed with the onlookers, at one point even jokingly commanding someone in the front row to turn off their phone.
Desaparecidos, a Nebraska band that recently reunited for the first time since their 2002 album "Read Music/Speak Spanish," began their set list with the single "The Left Is Right." Although Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst, on vocals and guitar, is the band's most famous member, Desaparecidos is a powerful, cohesive unit onstage. Guitarist Denver Dalley whipped his chest-length hair with abandon as keyboardist Ian McElroy accentuated drummer Matt Baum and the growling tones of bassist Landon Hedges.
The defining characteristic of Desaparecidos is their politically charged subject matter and aggressive attitude — both of which were evident in songs such as "The Happiest Place on Earth" and crowd favorite "Manana." Oberst, clearly aware of the setting, also threw a verbal jab at Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and his hardline
stance on immigration policy. The content of his message drew cheers from the crowd as he used some choice words that won't be reprinted here.
Musically, Desaparecidos and The So So Glos complemented each other perfectly on a chilly fall night at Lawrence's Liberty Hall. To hear more from the bands, check out Desaparecidos' newest tracks "Te Amo Camila Vallejo" and "The Underground Man," and the So So Glos' latest album "Blowout."

MUSIC REVIEW
The Game improves lyrics, beats on 'OKE'
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
OKE
THE GAME
Ever since the 2005 debut of "The Documentary," The Game has had one of the most hit or miss careers in all of hip-hop. "The Documentary" is often regarded as his best album, but since then he's had his fair share of projects that didn't quite live up to fans' expectations. Historically, The Game is very prolific — he's released more than 20 projects. With "OKE: Operation Kill Everything." The Game looks to return to his former glory.
The production isn't particularly bad, it just becomes repetitive. But that's a problem that frequently plagues projects with a high number of tracks — "OKE" clocks in at 19 tracks.
The Game is known to have an ear for production and, as expected, the beats are great. The production on "OKE" is handled by DJ Mustard, Cool & Dre, Cardiak and others. The production features a good balance of soulful beats meant for introspection and bass-heavy beats for party songs.
One standout of "OKE" is "Love on Fire." The Game's mother recently had a heart attack and he recalls the anxiety of possibly losing her. It's emotional and one of his best lyrical efforts in a long time. On the other hand, sometimes The Game phones it in on a few tracks and sounds uninspired, but this happens much less frequently than on "Jesus Piece."
The main problem many had with The Game's last project, 2012 "Jesus Piece," was that even though the production was fantastic, his lyrics weren't up to par. As a response, his lyrics are much better on "OKE," especially on the introspective tracks.
"OKE" is very feature heavy — only five songs don't have a featured artist. The good thing about this? Every artist holds his own. However, when The Game is co-rapping he begins to sound exactly like the other artist by using similar flows or changing his voice. Perhaps he thinks that this technique will help him appeal to a larger audience. Frankly, it does not work.
even though it's flawed, "OKE" is perhaps The Game's best project since 2006's "Doctor's Advocate."

OFFENSIVE TACTICS
Football Notebook
Jayhawks, players and fans alike, prepare for the game against Baylor
JOEY ANGUIANO janguiano@kansan.com
Highlighting Coach Charlie Weis' weekly press conference Tuesday was the "frightening" scoring and production ability of Baylor University's offense. Baylor, ranked as high as fifth overall in the Coaches polls, features the seventh best offense in the nation. They use a no-huddle system and capitalize on the speed of several key players. Weis also talked about his group of key players, which is riddled with injuries.
Player injuries and recoveries
While the coaching staff knows how the players are doing, they take a very stoic approach when it comes to injury status. That behavior may come from Weis' time as offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, but in reality it's a practice that has become more common in sports as time goes on.
What little information Weis would offer on injured players was that most of them, including linebacker Ben Heeney, running back Tony Pierson and wide receiver Andrew Turzilli, were "day to day". He went on to say Heeney and Pierson were "much better" while Turzilli was simply "not much better." If any of them make an appearance Saturday against Baylor, it will most likely be a gametime decision.
Quarterback Cozart
Freshman quarterback Montell Cozart was also discussed during the conference. Weis said that in last week's matchup against Oklahoma, Cozart only knew part of the game plan. That explains why only running plays were called when Cozart was in. Weis plans on involving Cozart more in the game plans so he will be ready for the match with the Baylor Bears. Weis also said there is no scheduled timetable for when Cozart plays—his involvement depends entirely on how the game is going.
"If we get the ball and have three straight drives ending in touchdowns, do you want to take him [jake Heaps] out?" Weis said. "But if we come out and have three straight three and outs." Weis went on to imply that in that situation, Cozart could find himself in the game.
Using last week's game as an example, Weis said that if the pass game continues at its current level, it will be much harder for the running game to prosper.
Running the offense
As far as the rest of the offense goes, Coach Weis said that the team will run a lot. Kansas knows what its bread and butter is and expects to stick to it. In order to make this strategy work, a few big plays are necessary from the passing game. Otherwise, the Baylor defense can expect a run each play,
which will make the Kansas offense very inefficient.
While Coach Weis isn't calling the plays anymore, he still "advises" on the offensive side of the ball. This allows him to have a hand in every aspect and act as more of a head coach. Because he isn't busy calling plays, Weis said he notices new, helpful details from the sidelines.
Loud and proud
Another key component that Weis stressed was fan involvement. He hopes that Jayhawk fans will show up and shout encouragement to the team. With a 6 p.m. kick, on the energy on the field and in the stands needs to be boisterous.
"They can yell at me," Weis said. "I don't care, just make it very loud."
Noise is instrumentally helpful to the Kansas defense — it will slow down the tempo at which Baylor can call their plays at the line of scrimmage.
"They [the crowd] should start yelling when they get here and continue until our defense leaves the field." Weis said.
Overall, Baylor is a great squad. As Weis said, "If they aren't getting respect, then people are stupid." This is a Baylor team that has championship dreams — dreams Kansas hopes to derail. To make that happen, fans need to show support.

Cassie Wait, freshman from Gardner, prepares for a dig in the Sept. 22 game against Notre Dame. Wait embraces her new role as volleyball defensive specialist.
Freshman takes on new role as defensive specialist for Kansas
BRIAN HILLIX
As a standout athlete at Gardner Edgerton High School, Kansas freshman Cassie Waist excelled at volleyball, basketball and track. She now contributes to a Kansas volleyball team that is second in the Big 12 conference and ranked No. 22 nationally.
bhillix@kansan.com
Wait, who is a Gardner native, led her high school volleyball team to the 6A Kansas state volleyball tournament the last two years, which included a third-place finish in 2011. As an outside hitter, she played every spot on the floor and racked up 1,750 kills and 1,635 digs in her high school career.
But Wait is taking on a new role for Kansas as a defensive specialist. With passing and digging as the main responsibilities of a defensive specialist, Wait said her new position allows her to improve these aspects of her game.
"It's giving me a chance to focus on just passing and digging, and that's made me so much better at being able to do that because it's my sole focus." Wait said. "And I've never had a sole focus on the court."
She said it also allows her to have a better understanding of the other positions and the game as a whole.
Because Wait is 5-foot-8, she knew she didn't have the ideal height to play outside hitter for a school like Kansas, where the average height for the position is around 6 feet. Before she came to Kansas, Coach Ray Bechard told Wait that he wanted her to be a defensive specialist or libero-type player.
"It's allowed me a better understanding being able to sit back and watch what's happening in front of me," Wait said.
"When I decided to come to Kansas, I knew there was going to be that change." Wait said. "I prepared myself for that ahead of time."

Wait arrived to a squad filled with veterans at the defensive specialist/ libero position. Seniors Brianne Riley, Jaime Mathieu and Amy Wehrs have played all four years at Kansas and helped lead the team to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season.
She is cherishing the new role.
A mainstay in the Kansas rotation, Wait averages almost seven digs a match and has reached double-digit digs four times, including a career-high 13 against Notre Dame in the championship match
Bechard knew Wait would be up to the task.
"She's extremely competitive, and if you know anything about her background athletically, she's excelled at anything she's ever done." Bechard said. "We knew she would take on this challenge and have an opportunity to be one of the very best at that position before it's all said and done at Kansas."
"I'll miss hitting, I always will, but I really enjoy being able to sit back and watch the play develop in front me," Wait said. "It's helped my overall understanding and love of the game."
"What a great opportunity for a freshman to step in with all that experience to draw from," Bechard said.
"All the kids joked that he gave me the dirty looks, like we have a secret system," Wait said. "I can look at him and know what he's thinking."
Wait and the No. 22 Jayhawks face Iowa State tonight at Horeisi Family Athletics Center. The Cyclones finished second in the Big 12 last year just ahead of Kansas.
"In high school, he was a good athlete, but he's improved almost three feet in college and he's an All-American," Wait said. "His ability to improve went so much beyond what anybody expected."

Kansas must step up to compete against Baylor
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Coach Charlie Weis said his defensive plan on Saturday is to slow the offensive attack from Baylor, which averages 64.7 points per game.
CONNOR OBERKROM
coberkrom@kansan.com
Coach Charlie Wets is well aware of the task ahead this week: devising a plan to slow down Baylor's lethal offensive attack.
Weis encountered Baylor coach Art Briles in the offseason and asked him how he ran so many plays. Briles reply? "It's organized chaos."
That organized chaos, which is top 10 in the country in passing and rushing yards per game, comes into Lawrence Saturday, averaging 64.7 points a game.
The offense is fully equipped to beat opposing teams either way, with its ground attack led by top-flight running back Lache Seastrunk, who is third in the country with an average of 9.4 yards per carry.
Baylor's passing game has ambushed opposing secondaries quarterback Bryce Petty has passed for 2,023 yards with a best-in-the country 14 yards per pass attempt.
"They truly play sideline to sideline," Weis said. "You see times when one receiver will be two yards from the sideline and the receiver on the other side will be two yards from the sideline and stretch you horizontally."
Baylor uses multiple wide receivers, including four wide receiver sets a good portion of the time. Antwan Goodley and Tevin Reese, who have speared their passing attack into a matchup nightmare for defenses, have helped spread the ball around endlessly and beat teams with their combined speed and athletic prowess. Goodley is fourth in the country with 851 receiving vards.
Baylor just doesn't present matchup problems when they have the ball. Their defense, vastly improved from just a season ago, is seventh in the country in scoring defense and
has three of the top five tacklers in the Big 12.
Baylor has 18 sacks, the most in the Big 12, and it goes four-deep on the edges. Its offense has allowed the pass rush to be more relentless and take more liberties to get after the quarterback.
"Because they score a lot, they just turn them free and say 'go get after the quarterback.' They don't have to bring a lot of pressure," Weis said.
The blueprint to stifle Baylor on offense hasn't presented itself quite yet. Kansas State gave some encouragement to defenses taking on Baylor in the coming weeks, as they muddied the Bears' running attack and dropped back into coverage. By dialing up a few blitzes and playing conservatively for most of the game, the Wildcats held Baylor to a season-low of 35 points, considerably lower than its average.
This is Baylor's second road game of the season and Weis hopes for a "loud, boisterous crowd" — something that may have worked in K-State's favor — to help stop the behemoth that is Baylor's offense.
Weis has said his offensive game
plan is to milk out the clock, keeping the Baylor offense away from the field as long as possible. This strategy is something that worked early on versus Oklahoma, but as the passing game faltered, Oklahoma brought more defenders closer to the line of scrimmage.
“Well, that's what we're going to do anyway,” Weis said. “They know it, you know it and we know it. Last week we made a firm commitment that this is what we're going to do.”
Weis, however, realizes that the passing game has to show some semblance of prominence in order for the offense to work. As they face Baylor, offensive execution is almost as equally important as the defense.
Montell Cozart looks to get more snaps this week and Weis orchestrated a meeting between Jake Heaps and Cozart to go over what has to get better. The quarterback position, which Weis concedes has slacked thus far, has to improve for the Jayhawks to have a chance to pull off the upset.

Last week junior Chelsea Albers, right-side hitter, earned 12 Conference player of the week. Alberts tied for lead in blocks per set in the Big 12.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Coming off a comeback victory over West Virginia on Saturday, the No. 22 Jayhawks (16-4, 6-1) come back home tonight to face the Iowa State Cyclones (10-6, 4-2) at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center.
Last week, Kansas ended its two-game road trip undefeated and the Jayhawks' junior right-side hitter Chelsea Albers earned Big 12 Conference player of the week. Albers, who tied for the Big 12 lead last week with 1.71 blocks per set, was the seventh Jayhawk this season to receive Big 12 player of the week honors.
"She has a physical presence at the net," coach Ray Bechard said. "As far as a right-side player, she is one of the most physical that the league has. For her to not only have that type of presence physically, but also be able to dig balls — that's a unique combo for a player to have."
Speaking of digs, Iowa State is giving up the least amount of digs in the Big 12 this season.
Iowa State's defense will have its hands full with the Kansas attack. Kansas has the second best hitting percentage in the Big 12 Conference and leads the Big 12 in kills, but Iowa State's defense has been solid.
Teams are averaging just 13 digs per set against the Cyclones and Iowa State is No.1 in the Big 12 with 16.9 digs per game.Iowa State's senior libero Kristen Hahn is the Big 12 leader in digs, averaging 5.95 per set.
lowa State allows the least amount of digs and digs a lot of hits, but Kansas is not too far behind.
16 digs per set
The Jayhawks are currently third in digs during the Big 12 games. The Jayhawks average 16.12 digs per set and senior libero Brianne Riley averages almost five of those
"She's a big deal for all of us," senior setter Erin McNorton said. "She's a huge part of the team playing-wise and vocally. She is our vocal captain and when she is not in the game, it's pretty obvious."
Riley, who recorded 23 digs against West Virginia, has double-digit digs in 46 consecutive games. She moved into sixth place on the Big 12 career digs list with 1,858.
Riley isn't just a defensive leader, Bechard said, but she also helps motivate the Jayhawks to stay determined.
"She is so steady for us," Bechard said. "She brings great confidence to our team. She never thinks we're out of a point, never thinks
we're out of a match, and that can get contiguous. She is a special competitor."
Riley will try to continue her double-digit dig game streak tonight.
Last season, the Jayhawks beat Iowa State in Lawrence, taking a 15-9 win in the fifth set to secure the match.
The Cyclones are led by sophomore right-side hitter Mackenzie Bigbee, who is sixth on the Big 12 conference kills leaderboard by averaging just under four kills per set.
The Jayhawks will try to protect their home court tonight at 6:30 p.m.

THE MORNING BREW Pujols-less Cardinals face bearded Red Sox tonight
The 2013 World Series begins tonight with the Boston Red Sox playing the St. Louis Cardinals at Fenway Park. Each team has a unique story about how it made it to the Championship this year.
Two off-seasons ago, the Cardinals had to decide whether to sign Albert Pujols to a long-term deal, making him the richest player in baseball. Now, in the World Series just a couple of years later, it seems the Cardinals organization made the right call to let Pujols go.
By Matt Corte
mcorte@kansan.com
Since going to the Angels, Pujols has had career lows in home runs and batting average in consecutive seasons, with many other numbers in offensive categories declining as well. By letting him leave, St. Louis was able to save money and sign key players such as Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright among others, to longer contracts. This provided a solid core of veteran
This provided a solid core of veteran
players to play along with young players, forming what is the Pujols-less National League Champion St. Louis Cardinals of 2013.
Speaking of young players, it looks like 2012 first-round pick Michael Wacha is the real deal. The 22-year-old outduelled Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers in Game 6 and took NLCS MVP honors for going 2-0 in the series. With strong pitching and veterans like
Carlos Beltran, St. Louis has a good chance of winning their second World Series in three years. Boston will attempt to stop the Cardinals from doing that and will attempt to claim their first World Series since 2007, with nearly all the players of that championship team gone.
After finishing last in the AL East in 2012, the Red Sox climbed to the
in 2012, the Red Sox climbed to the top of the standings and finished first in their division this season. The change in attitude for the Red Sox clubhouse started in the offseason by firing Bobby Valentine and hiring John Farrell, but the team started producing wins when the players put down the razors and grew out their beards.
The reason for growing their beards? Team unity. After Jonny Gomes sported one, Napoli and Pedroia grew beards of their own and soon the whole team was in on it.
THE BREW
No one player wanted to let the other be the sole player with a mongy beard — if that's not team unity I don't know what is. Even if you're not a fan of
Even if you're not a fan of the Red Sox or the Cardinals, I'd recommend watching this year's World Series. It showcases two historic baseball clubs, each with veteran players

NCAA changes rules, increases fouls for physical play
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Big 12 Coordinator of Officials Curtis Shaw explained the new rule changes on Tuesday at Big 12 Media Day.
The thought of playing on-ball defense against Andrew Wiggins may already be frightening for some opponents, but this season it could be more difficult to contain players like him than in past seasons. Changes to the NCAA hand-checking rules have been put in place this offseason to limit physical play on the perimeter by defenders and favor the offensive players.
"If you continually jab at a player, it's an automatic foul." Shaw said. "We'll let a player close out. We'll let them touch them and measure up. But when they keep measuring
up, we're going to call a foul. If you stick your hand on them and leave it on them or stick your forearm on them and leave it on them, it's an automatic foul. If you ever put two hands out on a player, it's an automatic foul."
That is the key. These are no longer judgment calls — they are automatic fouls. The intention of the change is to add more scoring and limit perimeter players from being physically controlling while guarding ball-handlers.
"I think we're just really going back to the rules of basketball," Shaw said. "Let's go back to playing an athletic game, not a physical game."
While the changes have been put in place, Coach Bill Self must figure out how to use them to his advantage, even if he's not a fan. He does think the adjustments could help an
athletic ball-handler like Andrew Wiggins drive and get to the free throw line.
"I would think with his first step, that's one thing that we're going to try and encourage." Self said.
The NBA made similar rule changes in the mid-90's when Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg was entering the league.
"I went through it in the NBA as a player where you can hand check guys and then it went to an arm bar rule and you couldn't touch anybody," Hoiberg said. "It was pretty ugly at first. I remember some of the games would take over three hours just because of all the fouls that were called."
So it could take some time for players, coaches and officials to adjust to the new rules, but Hoiberg said that will happen eventually. Self said it
will fragment games early on as the adjustments take place.
"My initial thought was that scoring is going to go up and good play is going to go down." Self said. "The reason scoring will go up is because we're shooting more free throws."
The rules could have several different outcomes depending on who answers the question, but the bottom line is it could be a drastic change in the way the game is played. Self is trying not to change the way his team plays defense too drastically for now.
"I don't want to say we're less aggressive, but we've got to be a lot more disciplined and smarter," Self said. "We're still going to try to pressure the ball."

COMMENTARY
Kansas should look to Baylor as model of success
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Not too long ago, in a place not too far away, there was a football program that looked a lot like Kansas.
looked at for the title.
Now it's a national title contender.
Kansas coach Charlie Weis and athletic director Sheahon Zenger can look to what Baylor's done as a model for success. The Bears will be playing in a sparkling new $250 million stadium next year and are currently on track for one of the best seasons in the school's history.
Now it's a national title contender. The 10 years before Art Brieles got to Baylor, the Bears went 29-85 and didn't go to one bowl game. The Baylor football program was where teams went to set records. This season, teams have to worry about Baylor setting records on them.
It's possible to turn a Big 12 punching bag into a heavyweight fighter. It takes some ingenuity. Some luck. And a whole lot of patience.
Baylor coach Art Briles, who has always been on the cutting edge of offenses since his days coaching high school in Texas, is the ingenuity. Signing Heisman trophy winner Robert Griffin III was the luck. The six years in between was the patience.
But when Weis was asked if he can learn something for Baylor's turnaround, his answer wasn't too enthusiastic.
"First of all, they're about three-games over .500 since [Brites] has been there," Weis said. "So it wasn't always all rosy like they were 6-0."
Of course it wasn't. No program as bad as Baylor's was could become a contender overnight. And for the record, Biles is nine games over 500.
Weis continued to go even further.
"Every once in a while, you hit it big," Weis said. "There's a guy by the name of RGII. He was a relatively obscure player a few years ago. When he steps up and does what he did, it makes recruiting that much easier, because everyone wants to be the next RGIII at their respective positions."
Yes, Robert Griffin changed everything at Baylor — especially with recruiting. But his coach was Briles. He had two solid NFL receivers, Kendall Wright and Terrance Williams, in his first recruiting class along with Griffin. He has a defense that's improved consistently in his six years in Waco, Texas.
Baylor is a team built around elite athletes at all positions. They want to play for a coach that's put up gaudy offensive numbers his whole career. Two seasons before Art Briles was hired at the University of Houston, the Cougars went 0-11. Briles won 10 games there four years later.
Programs like Kansas should look to Baylor as a model for success — a team of athletes with an offense built to take advantage of any matchup problems it's destined to have.
It's OK to be jealous when watching Baylor's offense this Saturday in Lawrence. Just know Kansas' athletic department will be too.

Senior Caroline Jarmoc aims to break University blocking record

Caroline Jarmoc, senior middle blocker, spikes the ball during the Sept. 22 game against Notre Dame. Jarmoc is close to breaking the University's blocking record.
HEATHER NELSON
hnelson@kansan.com
Redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc was unaware Friday that she was five blocks away from breaking the University of Kansas record. Nor did she realize she was about to surpass an almost-20-year-old record of 514 blocks set by Amanda Reves.
The middle blocker has a chance at tying — possibly even passing the record — Wednesday night at Kansas' match against Iowa State at Horesei Family Athletics Center. However, that accomplishment
is still far from her mind
"I know that it's five more, but it's not something I will be thinking about during the match," larmoc said.
It may be far from her mind, but Jarmoc has a likely shot at taking down the
This feat may be a challenge to complete against Iowa State. No. 3 Texas, who beat Iowa State Saturday, Oct. 19, combined for a total of six team blocks. Last year on Oct. 24, Jarmoc had one solo block and eight block assists — nine for the night.
Coach Ray Bechard said that Jarmoc's time as a redshirt certainly paid off.
record. Currently, larmoc averages about five blocks a game. And with five tomorrow night, she would become the new Kansas leader.
After redshirting her freshman season in 2009, Jarmoc became a leader on the Kansas volleyball team. In her redshirt freshman season, she recorded 93 block assists, which is ninth-most in a single season at Kansas.
"I'd be kind of sad right now if shed already graduated." Bechard
said. "She's put in the work and she's dedicated herself"
The following years weren't much different. In 2012, she was named Kansas volleyball's first All-American. She was also a factor in her team's NCAA tournament berth. Yet, with all these accomplishments, jarmoc focuses on self-improvement.
"I'm a person who focuses on my performance during games, as well," Jarmoc said. "I always focus on blocking. That's something that I can control because it's just me being engaged as much as possible."
"She's put in the work and she's dedicated herself."
RAY BECHARD Coach
Jarmoc's perseverance and train
ing has put her within reach of the blocking record. Beachard said.
"You have to have a certain mindset to set a record like that," Bechard said. "It."
speaks of her commitment to being a relentless blocker and the effort she's put in."
"I wouldn't be able to have such high blocking numbers if my pins weren't also as solid because a majority of my blocks are assists," Jarmoc said. "I have to attest some of the success to them, and it's going to motivate me to continue being a defensive middle as well."
Bechard said Jarmo deserves the credit of holding a Kansas record because of her work and dedication, but Jarmo attributes much of her success to her teammates.
Jarmoc may not be counting, but she will have a second chance to celebrate her accomplishment next Wednesday, Oct. 30, against Baylor at Horeses Family Athletics Center.

Kansas, Oklahoma State handle preseason hype
Even with an experienced team full of NBA-hopefuls, Oklahoma State can't climb past a Kansas team with a lot of questions. The
It's the reality of the hype that shows the true differences between the preseason favorites. It's the fact that one program has held at least a share of the Big 12 title each of the last nine years, and one program hasn't finished atop the conference in more than two decades.
"All we've really done is basically tell our guys there's been some pretty good players here before you that have proven their ability and how they can impact a program." Self said. "And none of you guys have even made a basket yet."
Travis Fish is new to it, Bill Self is used to it and every other coach wants it. Still, when dealing with preseason hype it seems the message is the same no matter who delivers it. At least, that was the case at Big 12 Media Day in Kansas City.
BLAKE. SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
"We haven't talked much about where we were picked," Ford said. "We talk a lot about understanding what our goals are and what we want to try to accomplish."
That wasn't too far from what Self preaches.
The Jayhawks are relying on Perry Ellis this year for a good portion of their scoring. While no one doubts Ellis' ability to get to the rack, that's a lot of weight to put on a kid who averaged about six points last season. Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart was unanimously named Big 12 Player of the Year in 2013. He's expected to do even more this season.
"We've been ranked higher preseason a lot of times than we are this year," Self said. "But seems like to me there is more hype around this team in large part because of our recruiting class, the unknown, and of course getting Andrew [Wiggins] late."
"We fully grasp that Kansas is still a team to beat," Ford said. "I think any coach would tell you that. They're still the team in the Big 12 that everybody's trying to compete with."
Cowboys' coach wasn't one to shy away from the challenge.
No one is saying these players
Ford took it one step further. He reiterated that Oklahoma State did not win the Big 12 Tournament last season. He reminded the media that the Cowboys were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round.
Yet OSU sits atop the Big 12 rankings for the main reason Kansas shares the seat; potential.
"There's new excitement and everybody wants to join in," OSU forward Michael Cobbins said. "We keep telling ourselves the ranking is a target on our back. We really haven't accomplished anything."
can't accomplish their respective feats, but it's the idea that they will that most people are banking on. And as the expectations grow, so does the noise.
Kansas could say it's feeling the same way. Youd think the program couldn't be put on a higher level. Then GQ, Sports Illustrated and the likes come calling. Pundits crown teams National Champions before they ever step on the court.
Self and Ford may have been tempering expectations, but their comments were draped in honesty.
"They come to work every day and really we don't talk much about the hype," Self said, making it seem as if there weren't enough hours in the day to acknowledge it.
"I think they'll get everyone's best shot too. It's not going to be easy. You're going to have to fight for everything you get."

Student Legislative Awareness Board seeks to increase voter turnout

klein@kansan.com
The Student Legislative Awareness Board is trying to inform and push registration as part of an annual voter registration drive sponsored by Student Senate.
Eric Hurrt, SLAB chair and government relations director for Student Senate, said registering voters is part of his job.
The drive is part of civic en
gagement and KU Leadership, Oct. 20 to Oct. 31, sponsored by Student Senate and the Dole Institute of Politics.
SLAB Media Director Natalie Parker said the voter registration drive is great for showing students how easy it is to register.
"Personally, why I wanted help with this is because I want to get more people aware of not only elections, but that they can vote," she said.
Parker and Hurtt said they do not want students to be intimidated by the process or the paperwork because the first step takes only a minute.
"It's tough to get people in passing to want to take care of business like this," Hurtt said. "But, when they do stop by, they are always happy they did it."
All students have to do is stop by the table, which is alternating from Watson Library's front lawn to in front of Wescoe Hall, and fill out the form.
According to the Public Affairs Director in the Office of the Kansas Secretary of State, V. Kay Curtis, SLAB members will drop of the registration forms at the county clerk's office to be processed. After students register, the county clerk will send them a letter requesting proof of citizenship as part of a Kansas voting law that passed in 2011.
SLAB will be registering voters at their table every day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Oct. 31.
Once the county clerk has all the information, a confirmation card is sent to registered voters to notify them of their polling place.

Georgia on her mind
Former student lands record deal in Atlanta
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
HANNAH BARLING
She said Lawrence is hands down the most artsy place she has lived in, and there is a lot of support in the city for any type of art.
"It has definitely helped me gain confidence because the people here are just so supportive," Alderman said.
Alderman moved to Lawrence from New Jersey nine years ago. She was a student at the University her freshman year and attended Johnson County Community College her second. But over the summer she decided to pursue what she believed she was meant to do.
Alderman knew she would end up following her dream, but living in Lawrence helped because of the opportunities within the community.
But there was something bigger that was ultimately compelling her to pursue her dream: sheer passion.
hbarling@kansan.com
At the age of 8, she wrote her first song. Now 20-year-old Lindsey Alderman has written hundreds of songs, signed a record deal and will be moving to Atlanta in a couple weeks.
"I don't think you can be successful with anything unless it's truly a passion in your heart," Alderman said. "Because when you have that passion, even when you fall, you're still going to be motivated to get back up because you want it so bad."

Day by day she recorded and wrote songs while in Atlanta, leading up to a showcase for major label executives. Alderman is now signed as a solo artist to Shongia Onye Entertainment, which is partnered with Interscope Records. She will be writing and recording while working toward the release of her debut album.
"Despite the pressures of society to follow a certain type of routine, don't be afraid to break the mold." Alderman said. "Whatever you do, you should never try and fit in."
"It is unbelievable all the opportunities I have been given," Alderman said. "It makes me feel like this is what I'm supposed to do because once I started pursuing it, everything opened up."
Alderman said it has been a blessing with how fast everything has happened, and encourages any aspiring musical artists to stay true to themselves.
Alderman considers herself an R&B pop artist with hip-hop influence. She grew up listening to artists such as Mariah Carey, Usher, Britney Spears, Beyonce and the late Sam Cooke, who has been called the King of Soul. She said the passion and soulfulness in R&B draws her to it.
For updates on her musical journey to the release of her first album, follow @itzthelindz on Twitter and Instagram.
The end of August was Alderman's first week in Atlanta. She went back in September, and in a matter of three weeks signed a record deal.
Songwriting is just as much Alderman's passion as performing. She has written countless songs, and whether it's an entire piece or a simple verse, she writes every day. Her love of words and writing led her to audition for a songwriting competition in Atlanta — where she met her current manager — which was the start of a domino effect to her recent success. She was introduced to influential music moguls and opportunities flooded in from there.

Study finds positive environment boosts results
KYLE PAPPAS
kpappas@kansan.com
We've all seen it: an angry coach or parent yelling at or berating an under-performing youth player. Many of us are often left wondering "Is that really helping anything?" A recent University study says the overwhelming answer to this question is no.
Mary Fry, associate professor of sports psychology, and doctoral student Susumu Iwasaki recently conducted a study analyzing the environments of youth athletes in the Lawrence area in relation to their intrinsic motivation.
"The more [the kids] perceived
The study concluded that athletes exposed to a positive sports environment were much more likely to succeed and enjoy themselves than those who are immersed in a negative one.
positive and supporting environments, the higher the intrinsic motivation and desire to continue to play the sport was," Fry said.
Fry and Iwasaki handed out questionnaires to youth basketball and volleyball players, ages 9-18, asking them to evaluate their environment and how much positive interaction they felt that they received.
The results of these questionnaires showed that the children's perceptions of their environments were actually very good, citing a positive atmosphere and future desire to participate in sports.
But Fry said that administrators can always look for ways to get better.
"There's still room for improvement," she said. "By collecting data, they have something to build their efforts on, something they can use to train coaches and
educate parents."
The idea for the study came when Fry and Iwasaki came in contact with two sports administrators who were interested in feedback on how to improve their atmospheres and provide a better experience for their kids.

"When you don't quantify the information, you don't get the bigger picture."
SUSUMU IWASAKI doctoral student
"Sports administrators usually have a full plate or don't have the skill set to develop a survey and gather results," Fry said. "It's a great partnership for administrators and sports psychologists to team up to make their sports better"
Iwasaki agreed, saying that coaches and parents are sometimes unable to grasp the full concept of this when it comes to their children.
"When you don't quantify the information, you don't get the bigger picture," he said. "Sometimes, it can be difficult for coaches to think about improving their coaching methods in this way."
Fry notes that the differences in environments are the result of either implementing a task-involving climate or an ego-involving climate. Task-involving includes stressing effort and improvement, while ego-involving sends the message that performance and talent are what matters.

The effects of these environments can have serious repercussions on youth athletes, both short-term and long-term.
"A bad athletic experience can give children's overall self-confidence a hit," Fry said. "It can kill the fun and decrease future participation in exercise."
One might assume that these results would only hold true for developing and impressionable younger athletes, but Fry says that this isn't the case.
"Recent research with college athletes have had the same results," Fry said. "They may be better equipped to deal with it, but it's not necessarily a better environment."
Iwasaki and Fry's study has been accepted for publication in the applied-research magazine The Sport Psychologist and is set to appear next spring.

pounds of prescription medications were collected by the DEA - a 50 percent increase from their previous event.
Prescription drug use has become one of the largest and fastest-growing
drug problems in the country, according to a 2012 study from The National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The study also found that twice as many Americans regularly abuse prescription drugs than cocaine, hallucinogens, heroin and inhalants combined.
The study also found that more than half of those abusing prescription drugs get them from friends or relatives, something Lieutenant Steve Lewis of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said take-back days can help eliminate.
"It's hard to say if it's had a great affect on reducing illegal use of medications, but it for sure eliminates the possibility of some people obtaining them," Lewis said. "Whether it be teens around the house, people visiting or an open house, it eliminates people who shouldn't be using them from just grabbing them."
The state of Kansas has seen relative success in curbing prescription drug abuse, but it is still a fast-growing problem. Kansas has the eighth lowest drug overdose mortality rate in the country, but the number of those dying from overdose has doubled since 1999, according to a report from Trust for America's Health.
Lewis added that while they see the events as successful, there clearly is work still to be done.
"Even if we dispose of hundreds of pounds of these kinds of drugs,
we would still only be scratching the surface of the problem<sup>1</sup>.
there will be two collection sites available between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday at the short-term parking lot of the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St., and the Lawrence Police Department at 4820 Bob Billings Parkway.

Mandela's great-grandson to accept Dole Leadership Prize
KATIE MCBRIDE kmcbride@kansan.com
Former South African President Nelson Mandela once said, "It always seems impossible until it's done." Those words are central to the inspiration the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics hopes to achieve through the 10th annual Dole Leadership Prize.
This year's prize is to be awarded to the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory at the Nelson Mandela Foundation, and Mandela's great-grandson, Luvuyo Mandela.
will accept the award and speak about how Mandela changed the world.
line $25,000 prize is awarded annually to someone who showed leadership and made a significant difference through public service. "My great-grandfather has shown the world what you can achieve with strength of character, sincere dedication, openness to collaboration and determination." Luvuyo said. "He was able to change South Africa and the world for the better because he was steadfast in his belief of
equality for all South Africans."
"It matters not whether you come from a small rural village or a large city, you can change your world for the better."
LUVUYO MANDELA
Dole Leadership Prize recipient
Bill Lacy, director of the Dole
Institute, said it is an important prize every year that rewards people who are doing positive things for the world, and is meant to inspire others.
"The one thing we stress with everything we do here is that you can make a difference," Lacy said. "We want students to feel empowered to go out and try to do what they think needs to be done."
Luvyo said his great-grandfather can show students how anybody is able to make an impact and make their goals a reality, no matter where they come from.
He added that, in his own life, Mandela's story taught him "the infinite energy and drive gained from following your passion."
"It matters not whether you come from a small rural village or a large city, you can change your world for the better," Luvuyo said. "Anyone can make a difference."
The prize will be awarded on Oct. 27 at 4 p.m.at the Dole Institute.

Take advantage of unique resources in campus buildings
Anyone who has stepped onto campus can agree that there are a lot of buildings. Few, if any, students know the purpose of every single building, but some are certainly more familiar with the general population than others. For instance,"main" campus buildings such as Fraser and Strong are universal landmarks for KU students, while lesser known, but equally useful buildings, are forgotten by most. As a KU Ambassador, I know just about every building on campus, and the longer I'm here, the more I realize how few people know about some pretty awesome places. So for a quick lesson on the five resources you're seriously missing out on, read on.
1) Burge Student Union Location: Irving Hill Road, down the hill from Daisy Hill residence halls and west of Allen Fieldhouse. It's the small brownstone building.
The Burge Union serves as a
satellite Union to the main Kansas Memorial Union. Closer to Daisy Hill, Oliver and the Towers, this union is a seriously underutilized gem. Besides the basic Union stuff like the KU Bookstore and Pulse Coffee shop, the Burge has an IT Lounge (for broken computers, phones or tablets), Legal Services (for suing people) and the Career Center (for when you realize you might actually want a job after college). These three services are free and a very important part of campus life. All are helpful, but the Career Center is especially important to note. It offers mock interviews, resume editing and cover letter consultation. It can also help you find a job or internship to get you started on that ever-terrifying path towards adulthood.
Random Fact: Burge has an IT drive-thru window. You can put your phone or computer in, and if it's a quick fix, the technician will fix it and hand it back through the

small window.
2) Dyche Hall
17-9 pinnell
Location: Jayhawk Boulevard,
between Lippincott Hall and the
Kansas Memorial Union. It's the one that looks like a giant church with a bell tower.
Did you know that we have a natural history museum? If not, try treading down Jayhawk Boulevard sometime and stopping by. The natural history museum is free to enter for all KU students and houses a lot of really neat exhibits. For instance, see the Lewis Lindsay Dyche world-famous Panorama of North America Mammals that was created in
1903, or visit Comanche the Horse, a stuffed horse that was a survivor of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Dyche Hall has both permanent and traveling exhibits, as well as its own working bee-hive. Once you start exploring, I guarantee you'll have fun and learn something new.
Random Fact: Dyche Hall is a top-10 tourist attraction for the state of Kansas and welcomes more than 100,000 people per year.
3) Spencer Research Library Location: Directly behind Strong Hall. If you go through the main entrance of Strong and walk all the way through, you'll end up on a platform that leads straight to Spencer.
This library is one of my favorite places on campus and, to be honest, if I hadn't been forced to visit for one of my classes, I probably would have never known how spectacular this library is. The Spencer Research Library
houses rare books, manuscripts and archives, and allows you to view and handle nearly every text housed there. There are very specific guidelines for how you are to handle the books as well as what you're allowed to have with you when you're researching (only pencils and paper, but there are lockers for the rest of your stuff until you finish), but as a student you are able to touch manuscripts that are hundreds of years old. It's a really neat, powerful feeling that sticks with you when you can actually interact with that much history.
Random Fact: One of the only books you cannot view in Spencer Research Library is a first edition of Charles Darwin's "The Evolution of Species" because one too many people tried to take their hatred of evolution out on this priceless piece of history.
RELATIONSHIPS
Anna Wenner is a junior majoring in English from Topeka.
Dedicate time to friendships throughout school and career
The older I get, the more I reminisce on how things use to be. The memories that I cherish most seem to be connected by one underlying factor; brotherhood.
Back in my day, everything I did was oriented around my community of friends — not unlike the girls who refuse to go to the bathroom alone, but hopefully a little less intrusive. After school it was routine to hang out with friends, because back then, time was on our side. The burdensome weight of responsibility and adulthood wasn't upon us; we were young, wild and, most importantly, free.
When that first girl was brave enough to kiss me, my friends were there to cheer me on. They were there the first time I went TPing, strategically putting toilet paper around the house and ultimately ending in escaping angry parents, but we stuck together and made sure we didn't lose anyone. And when I got homesick at my first sleepover, my friends turned panic into an unforgettable night; this is the brotherhood I'm talking about.
By Bryenn Bierwirth
bbierwirth@kansan.com
brotherhood I'm talking about.
But the older I get, the more excuses I have to be selfish with my time. My fond memories with friends are all I've got, because I don't have the time to make new memories. I'm busy building my future and becoming a grown up. Responsibility is a time killer.
It's a lot easier — and severely selfish — to let go of people and just hold onto memories you shared with them instead of finding the time to hang with old friends.
True as it may be, growing up is a poor excuse to evade long-time friends. Everybody is growing up, so why don't we grow up together like we did as kids? I pledge to work on this, because I'd rather become a man with a mediocre job, surrounded by friends than a man who sacrificed everything to be alone at the top.
On the battlefield of life, I've been too focused on what lies on the other side — my career, girlfriend, part-time jobs, internships, school, Netflix — and lost focus on everyone who's supported me through it all.
Friends are the key to a happy life, and there's no age restriction.
I refuse to become another Facebook stranger amongst my friends. I have family members who spend late nights at the office and early mornings taking the kids to school, so they don't have "time" for friends. But maybe the kids ditch them for their friends, or the wife leaves for a girl's weekend, or perhaps they're a single parent, so it would be nice to have someone their age to be with. Instead, they are home alone, struggling to make dinner for themselves and reminiscing about old friends over their Facebook timeline.
I like talking to my parents and grandparents about their "young and wild" days. It sparks life in them. My grandma, who's a widow, talks all the time about her friends and how much fun they had. When she tells these stories, she always has a smile on her face. I tell her it's never too late to connect with old friends and make new memories. She tells me that it was a long time ago and she's too old now.
My grandparents always remind me of two valuable lessons: the memories you're making now will be with you for the rest of your life, and don't give up on making new memories because you're never too old to have friends.
This gives me a lot to think about since my friends and I will be graduating college soon and going our separate ways.
Life is one big picture that can't fit into any frame or canvas, but there's plenty of room in your mind. When you're old and telling your grandchildren about your young and wild days, you won't be talking about the times you spent kissing your boss's ass for that promotion or filling out invoices. You'll tell them about the time you and a good friend stole a bar sign while wasted.
You're never too grown up or responsible for the people who made you who you are today: friends.

HALLOWEEN
Five tips to create perfect costume
@BrandonWoodard
WelcomeOnion Free Charging Stations!
allowee is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total
suit and no other girls can say anything about it, or so the quote from Mean Girls goes.
In the end, we all agreed that we—men and women alike—should have the ability to choose for ourselves what we wish to wear without the social inhibition of slut-shaming or other such negative judgment. After all, when we degrade others, aren't we setting limitations for ourselves?
but is this really true? Granted, I'm not sure how anyone can be surprised by this premise—it seems nothing in the stores these days is offered with more than a few shards of fabric to cover up the most essential parts of the body.
I think Cady got the idea right, but chose her words badly. Halloween is the one night a year when women may wear ridiculous conceptualizations of the word "sexy," like "sexy nurse," "sexy Disney Princess," "sexy giraffe," etc. But they aren't sluts. A woman is never a slut for what she chooses to wear. Self-expression through clothing has nothing to do with how sexually active a person is. And it should never, ever be seen that way.
This was a very vibrant discussion amongst the many women living in my scholarship hall last year. Funny enough, the topic never really got around to the sad fact that women's costumes are so overtly sexualized while men's costume selection seems to remain fairly varied. Instead, we gung up on the word "slut," and what would constitute dressing "like a total slut."
That being said, I do think it is an unfortunate and frustrating issue that no matter where you go, finding a costume that isn't a sexualized version of something is nearly impossible. I, for one, have never really had a desire to don the shreds of fabric they're calling costumes in stores these days. Being the broke college student and dry humorist that I am, I opt for cheaper, creative costumes. If you're still looking for some ideas, here are some quick suggestions:
1) Old person—this is particularly good if you are theatrical

and good with makeup. I went as this last year and almost convinced some friends I was an actual alumnus of the scholarship halls.
3) Ironic—For some reason, dressing as an animal dressed as a human never gets old. Also, any costume Jim Halpert wears in "The Office," except for that one year when he was Popeye.
4) Obscure—find the most normally dressed supporting character in a television series you watch. Go as that.
5) Couple/Group—Everything and anything is better in numbers. I really love the idea of Bob Ross and his painting. Or, you know, go as pieces of a salad. That works too.
2) Puns—I am all for anything that shows this level of creativity. A few of my favorites include '50 Shades of Gray' (basically just wearing as much gray as possible), 'One Direction' (draw an arrow heading upwards with an 'N' above it on a shirt), and 'Cereal Killer' (just drag a trash bag full of cereal boxes around with you all night).
If you do choose to wear something store-bought, please remember to be responsible with your choice in clothing. Costumes that are culturally or racially insensitive are never okay, and you should choose what you wear because you enjoy it, not because you think others will like it or feel more attracted to you. Choosing your costume—as in all things—based on the presumed opinion of anyone other than yourself will only leave you disappointed.
So remember, Halloween is a fun time whether you dress up, or down, or not at all, but what you wear or don't wear has no basis upon your character. Also, don't have sex. You'll get chlamydia and die.

Lawrence Arts Center's 'Sweeney Todd' promises to be bloody good
CALLIE BYRNES
chyrnes@kansan.com
The Lawrence Arts Center chose the show because its dark themes work well with the Halloween
There are a lot of Halloween thrills around Lawrence this time of year, but most aren't as musical as "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street." This dark comedy will be playing from Oct. 25 to Nov. 2 at the Lawrence Arts Center, located at 940 New Hampshire Street.
The musical, like the successful 2007 movie starring Johnny Depp, tells the story of a vengeful barber who befriends a poor owner of a pie store. The two work together to exact their revenge and start a macabre business selling pies made of human flesh.
"The show is a good portrayal of what it's supposed to be, which is a metaphor for life where people are eating people and everything is gritty and gory," said costume designer Steffani Day. "It's excellent to see because it's bloody and it's gross but it's fun."
"It's excellent to see because it's bloody and it's gross but it's fun.

"The macabre themes are perfect for the season," said Jill Anderson, who portrays Mrs. Lovett in the production. "It's a horror story that's influenced a lot by Le
season. Director Ric Averill said he hoped the show would draw an audience for its Halloween show at 9 p.m., in which the audience is encouraged to dress up in their costumes.
Grand Guignol theatre in Paris, which is all about shock value and special effects. It's like a Victorian version of a slasher."
While the show's premise is chilling, it isn't short on laughs. Averill said the musical relies on a strong regional cast to pull together the comical and horrific
The show also isn't short on visual effects. According to Averill, it will be just as gory as its predecessors.
— Edited by Duncan McHenry
"I'm most excited for when we drop bodies down the shoot," Averill said. "I love all the effects, and that's why I embrace it. I'm not generally a big horror fan, but I love the story and the music, so I had to release my inner 13-year-old boy and let the blood flow. There are a lot of great effects, so instead of going to a haunted house, I think students should come see the show."
CRYPTOQUIP
"The cast's biggest strength is that they're musically strong," Averill said. "But we also have strong actors with good relationships that make you really care about the characters. That's what you need for this show — you really need singers with levels beyond musical theater, but you also need strong actors to make it work well."

Bread, Pur-O-Zone, Coca-Cola, Sysco, KC and Missouri Organics, to name a few.
This is the charge of KU Dining Services who, under the auspices of the KU Memorial Unions, is responsible for feeding the multitudes at KU. With increasing focus on sustainability-related issues and how to make a difference in day-to-day life, one of the widest reaching areas is food. Asking, "Where does it come from?" and "How is it disposed of?" are key issues for our campus and community.
KU Dining is quite mindful of its role and how much of an impact effective sustainable practices play in its operations and ultimately in campus life. Given the number of students, faculty, staff and visitors that dine on campus daily, sustainability opportunities abound, from recycling paper cups, wrappers, bags, and plastic bottles to repurposing post-consumer food waste.
KU Dining Services has taken a pro-active approach in reducing waste and promoting sustainability initiatives. Successful partnerships with campus organizations, local businesses and communities have poised KU Dining Services as a leader among peer institutions in this arena. KU Dining's partners include KU Center for Sustainability, Rock Chalk Recycle, KU Biofuels Research, Daily

Potter Lake Project concert to promote campus beauty
DANI BRADY
dbrady@kansan.com
The KU Environs Club will be hosting their second annual Potter Lake Project benefit concert this Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at the Potter Lake Dance Pavilion. The show will feature three local bands
Pink Royal, Rev Gusto and Off the Bench and all proceeds will help fund the Center for Sustainability's Replant Mount Oread project. The Center plans to plant trees outside Stauffer-Flint Hall in Spring 2014.
The Enviros Club hopes this benefit show will bring attention and awareness to the beautiful campus. They are encouraging
the usage and preservation of Potter Lake since the University is fortunate enough to have such a large green space. They also plan on reinforcing the significance of wildlife and explaining how Potter Lake has not been properly maintained for decades.
[Environs chose this organization [Center for Sustainability] because we are trying to educate people about the importance of green space on a college campus," said Emma Donachie, preservation coordinator for the KU Environs.
Donachie and her committee focus on preserving local ecosystems, including places such as Potter Lake and the KU Field Station,
that are dedicated to environmental research and education.
The concert will provide an entertaining atmosphere while educating attendees on the history of Potter Lake, the current status of the lake, and the reasons it has been deprived of proper maintenance.
Every $5 ticket will help educate people on the historical significance of Potter Lake, and help conserve the natural beauty of the campus. If that isn't enticing enough, a complimentary 2-for-1 Chipotle burrito card will be given with all ticket purchases.

Emmy award-winner brings Mark Twain act to Lied Center
TOM DEHART
tdehart@kansan.com
Many University students have probably heard of Mark Twain—perhaps some even read one of his books in the past couple of years. Whether "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" or another one of his stories or essays that were written over 100 years ago, it was likely enough to get an idea of his writing style. However, students now have the opportunity to see Hal Holbrook perform his show "Mark Twain Tonight" at the Lied Center on Friday, Oct. 25.
For those who don't recognize the name Hal Holbrook right away, he is a multiple Emmy-winner, and is best known outside of "Mark Twain Tonight" for his roles in blockbuster movies such as "Into the Wild," "Men of Honor," "Wall Street" and, most recently, the biographical film "Lincoln," which was directed by Steven Spielberg. But these roles came long after he began character acting onstage as Mark Twain.
vaughan as Mark Twain. Holbrook began performing "Mark Twain Tonight" when he was a college student in 1954. Since then, he has achieved a large amount of success and was recognized by The New York Times as "the undisputed monarch of Mark Twain imperson-
ators" in 2001, and was said to be one of the biggest and most outstanding acts that will be coming to the Lied Center this school year.
Tim Van Leer, executive direc
"As he talks, there is a great deal of humor. There are poignant moments throughout the show."
TIM VAN LEER
Lied Center executive director
tor of the Lied Center, said Hal Holbrook has performed there in previous years and was brought back this year to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
"It's always an interesting evening because, you know, Hal Holbrook doesn't step on to the stage—Mark Twain does," Van Leer said. "So you get an opportunity to be a part of a presentation that Mark Twain would have given throughout his lifetime. What's really fascinating about the show is that what Mark Twain talked about 100 or so years ago is not very different from the things that are going on in the world now."
Aside from the show being a representation of Mark Twain's personality and a tribute to his
career as a writer and thinker, it also presents current affairs in an untraditional manner. Van Leer said this event is going to be one of the most popular of the season, and the box office has sold 1,500 tickets already.
"I think the idea that he shares thoughts on current affairs and things that are relevant to the country today are one of the reasons to see the show," Van Leer said. "As he talks, there is a great deal of humor. There are poignant moments throughout the show."
Student tickets are half-priced at $17-$22, and adult tickets are $35-$44, according to the Lied Center website. The event begins at 7:30 p.m.

Students confront suicide, other problems honestly
AMELIA ARVESEN
aarvesen@kansan.com
Sticks and stones may break bones, but words can seep in and kill the soul slowly. Even in daily conversation, many students don't realize how their word choices can contribute to someone else's inner battle.
The Office of Multicultural Affairs is raising awareness of global, national and local persecution with the Tunnel of Oppression, an intensive, interactive multimedia experience. Tours last 30 minutes and aim to tap into buried emotions and address current issues.
"Many students have personal experiences that relate to the images," said Ashley Tso, graduate assistant and social justice programmer for the OMA. "They may think they've gotten over them, but this brings out old feelings."
The offices, classrooms and restrooms in the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center have been transformed to make room for role-plays, slideshows, exhibits and a gallery of real cases involving individuals deeply affected by each type of oppression. Participants witness sensitive topics including
dating violence, body image influences, hazing, homophobia, racism, sexism and anti-Semitism.
The restroom mirrors are scrawled with hurtful words. A door slams, followed by yelling, symbolizing an abusive relationship. These are just two of the scenes that unfold in the tunnel.
"It's heavy because it's so internalized, so personal, and yet it's shared by so many others," said Mauricio Gomez, a retention specialist with the OMA.
According to hazingprevention.org, 55 percent of college students involved in on-campus clubs, teams and organizations experience hazing. While students may not be directly affected, the tunnel was created to inform students that it is prevalent in the community.
"I think sometimes people want to ignore it, " Gomez said. "Some people have

some people have the privilege of living their entire life without knowing that this exists. So it's heavy for some, especially for those seeing it for the first time."
"The negative connotations and words that they used in the type of music was very difficult to listen to." Washington said. "I don't think people realize music like that is still being made."

the situations are true and are based on the college population, whether at the University or other institutions.
"For people who are resistant to the ideas, come with a friend," said Precious Porras, the associate director of the OMA. "These things
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
are happening around you all the time anyways. We're just bringing them to light."
After the tour, participants have the chance to process what they experience with trained professional counselors like Gomez. In past years, he said students have left with heavy hearts but the goal is to spark conversations, peak interest and increase awareness.
"Once other people become aware of what they're actually saying, campus becomes a more positive and inclusive community," Tso
The program has been presented to the University's community since 2001 and more than 600 participants made their way through the tunnel last spring. On Dec. 4, the OMA will conduct a follow-up discussion to reveal the emotions that still linger with participants
said. "We want people to no longer feel like outsiders."
"People just walk around like these things are no big deal, but go experience it," Washington said. "Once you get in the tunnel, you'll feel how real it is."
Tours in the Tunnel of Oppression begin every hour between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday in the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center. The tunnel will also be available in the spring. Students are encouraged to contact the OMA at any time with questions or to discuss concerns.

Theatre professor helps students connect with Shakespeare
KATIE MCBRIDE kmcbride@kansan.com
Though many students may groan with despair at the thought of deliving into the lines of a Shakespearean play, a University of Kansas theatre professor believes that performing Shakespeare can "make the words indispensable" when their meaning is unlocked.
Paul Meier, a theatre professor and Shakespeare scholar, recently released the 2013 edition of his e-book, "Voicing Shakespeare," a comprehensive guide to understanding and connecting with Shakespearean pieces in order to perform them well. The book covers breaking down the text to clarify the meaning, voice and speech lessons, and ways to use the body while acting, among other topics.
Halley Lapin is a senior from Overland Park who has several of Meier's classes, and worked with Meier for a play she acted in during her freshman year.
"Paul's lessons revolutionized the way I look at and work through the
text," Lapin said. "I not only know what the text is saying, but how I can most effectively say it."
Bringing together his extensive experience with acting and directing Shakespeare, Meier lays the groundwork to allow actors to be successful with Shakespeare's works. The e-book incorporates video demonstrations and audio recordings of the lessons, so readers can hear and see the ways in
which the strategies are implemented.
are implemented.
"Most students' experience with Shakespeare comes from the dull boredom of an English classroom" Meier said.
In fact, Meier said that Shakespeare's works were never intended to be read
"pretty poetry," said Meier; they are words that the character needs to say. If the actor can tap into the character's deep need for words, they can make the words their own and make a 400-year-old language sound fresh and new.
During her freshman year, Lapin played a fairy in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," directed by Meier. The performance of that play centered around the incorporation of

COMMENTARY
Oklahoma State Smart unlikely to be a threat
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Pardon me for not getting wrapped up in the narrative that Oklahoma State is capable of high stepping Kansas in the Big 12 standings this season, ending the run of nine straight regular season championships by Bill Self and his teams.
Sophomore guard Marcus Smart is undoubtedly great. But don't forget that he still couldn't lead his Cowboys to anything but a third place conference finish last season behind Kansas State.
Now, a year later, that same team is supposed to win the Big 12, or at least give the Jayhawks a serious fight. It doesn't sound preposterous at first. Marcus Smart is a legitimate top-five pick in next summer's NBA draft, and last season's top five scorers all return for the Cowboys.
But we have seen this before.
Missouri was supposed to give Kansas fits a few years ago before falling in line behind the Jayhawks in the final conference standings just like Kansas State, Texas and Oklahoma State before them. Blindly picking Self and Kansas is boring and doesn't make for a good preseason storyline.
Even more so, the last few Jayhawk teams weren't the most intimidating Self has trotted out in his career. There were plenty of question marks heading into the last three seasons, yet they always ended the regular season ahead of everyone else before grabbing a top seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Now, with an experienced point guard like Naadir Tharpe, two potential top-10 NBA draft picks in Wayne Selden and Joel Embiid, as well as the clear-cut No. 1 draft pick in Andrew Wiggins, we are supposed to believe last year's third place team is a worthy competitor?
"It is all potential," Marcus Smart recently told CBSSports.com of the Andrew Wiggins hype heading into this season. "I am not saying he can't do it. But he has not done it yet."
Smart is right. Wiggins, Selden, Embiid and the rest of the Kansas recruiting class haven't accomplished any of the things Smart has at the college level.
But after winning the Big 12 with players like Kevin Young and Conner Teahan in the rotation, excuse me for dismissing the Oklahoma State hype. I am not saying Smart and the Cowboys can't dethrone Kansas this season. But they haven't done it yet.

THE MORNING BREW Big 12 media day adds to Wiggins hype
The hype about Andrew Wiggins continued to grow at Tuesday's Big 12 Men's basketball media day. The anticipation for the season is nearly unprecedented.
That is the definition of hype
eemed. Much of the excitement comes from inside the university, which was seen at this year's Late Night in the Phog festivities, where several thousand students and fans were turned away because of how quickly Allen Field House reached capacity.
That is the demotion of hype. But there's another kind of hype surrounding this season, and it comes from outside the University. Wiggins was universally upended upon for the top spot on ESPN's top 100 last year. Before he announced his decision to come to the University, people were already referring to him as the next

Lebron James. Everyone who has an interest in college basketball is eager to see how Wiggins will perform this year.
It isn't only Wiggins, however. Most of the Jayhawk team is brand new. Seven of the 18 players are freshmen and most of last year's team is nearly as unproven. Last year's much-talked-about recruiting classes
included freshmen Wiggins, Frank Mason, Wayne Selden Jr., Brannen Greene, Joel Embid, Conner Fankamp and transfers Tarik Black and Hunter Mickelson.
Memphis transfer and senior Tarik Black and sophomores Perry Ellis and Jamari Taylor return with the most experience, which still isn't a lot.

Last night, the Horejsi Athletic Center was packed as fans came to see the No. 22 Kansas layhawks and to see history being made.
Senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc recorded her fifth block of the match during a third set loss. This wasn't just any block. This was the block that placed Jarmoc into Kansas history. After the point, Jarmoc didn't celebrate the point more than normal, just a regular pointer finger that indicated she's number one.
I honestly couldn't even tell you which block it was when I broke the record," Jarmoc said. "Individual records are great and everything, but I always want to contribute to the team."
Jarmoc became the Jayhawks' all-time career block leader, but she was not worried about the record. She was worried about getting the win.
Jarmoc surpassed Amanda Reves to have sole control of the Jayhawks' career block record.
Jarmoc has blocked hundreds of balls over her four-year career, but none were as special as number 515.
With the match on the line, Jarmoc had two key blocks at the end of game four to send the match to a fifth game tiebreaker. Both of those blocks symbolized the importance of Jarmoc's presence.
Jarmoc ended the game with a team-high six blocks, but the Jayhawks lost in a tight game that went down to the very last point. The Jayhawks (16-5, 6-2) lost 25-22, 21-25, 22-25, 25-16, 13-15 to Iowa State.
"Jarmoc would rather take a W tonight, but her record speaks volume of her effort over four years," head coach Ray Bechard said. "A demanding position, the middle blocker, and the effort it took out
of her. I'm very proud of her"
Blocker wasn't the only role she played. Jarmoc was a vocal leader on the court and from the bench. Every time Jarmoc substitutes out of the game, she slams her hands against a metal beam on the back wall of the court. Jarmoc said she makes voices to show support for her teammates on the court.
"It started during my redshift freshman season obviously," Jarmoc said. "I wanted to contribute any energy I could, and I was standing at the end of the bench, found the beam and made a lot of noise. That kind of stuck with me for those five years."
Beachard thinks jarmoc is a great player that gives everything she has.
"You're going to hear her voice throughout," Bechard said. "She's a confident kid and she leads by example."
Jarmoc, was a part of the first-team All-American selection
last season, had to credit her histi-
ric career to someone special.
Jarmoc's parents were a big part of her success, and the coaching staff has had an affect on her career as well, she said.
"Being young and being taught to grind stuff out, I was blessed with amazing coaches." Jarmoc said. "Coach Bird, the middles coach, she really pushed me until I was really dead at times."
Jarmoc started her career as a redshirt freshman, and has been a leader on the team ever since. If someone would have told her she was going to lead Kansas in career blocks she wouldn't have put it out of the realm of possibility.
"I would have said, 'let's see about that.' I still have a lot of time," Jarmoc said.

OFFENSE
Baylor has drawn a lot of comparisons to the 2011 Oklahoma State squad featuring Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon, but that's a little unfair to Baylor. Baylor has put up more points through six games than any team in Big 12 history and is on pace for some historical, gaudy numbers. Bryce Petty has already eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark and has two of the best wideouts in the country in Antwan Goodley and Tevin Reese. Aside from their air attack, they feature one of the most elusive, powerful running backs in the game in Lache Seastrunk who averages 9.2 yards per carry. Baylor's speedy receivers and bulky offensive line keep the defense on its heels regardless of the score. Baylor averages 78 plays per game, but that number is skewed simply because the game has been already out of hand in the first quarter in all but one of Baylor's games.

Baylor has always had trouble with their defense, but this unit is vastly improved from just one season ago. They are currently 11th in the country in total defense and have three of the top five tacklers in the Big 12. Baylor's defense will likely stack the box against Kansas, which looks to slow down the clock in order to stifle Baylor's offensive attack. Bryce Hager currently leads the Bears in total tackles with 52. The Bears lead the Big 12 in sacks.

QUESTION MARKS
Will Baylor look better in their second road game? We are not quite sure if the Kansas State game is an outlier or a blueprint of how to beat Baylor, but there is a sample that they have struggled at least one game, so there's hope. Also, can Kansas stop one aspect of their offense? Baylor is unlike most high-tempo offenses in that it can run and pass the ball with ease. If Kansas can limit one portion of Baylor's offense then that should be a victory in itself.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP LE
Baylor ends the game in the first quarter, which is Kansas' strong point this season. A night game on the road could present some challenge, but if Kansas can keep it interesting, that'll be enough to keep fans happy before booking it at halftime.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Levi Norwood, Baylor's punt and kickoff returner, has posted an 11.1 average on punt returns and a 16.3 average on kickoff returns. Their punter has been used sparingly, as has their kicking game, only attempting eight field goals so far on the season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Head coach Art Briles is 3-0 all-time versus Kansas and Baylor is currently riding a 10-game winning streak. This is Baylor's second road game of the season. In its first road game against Kansas State, Baylor saw its season-low point output as they put up just 35 points, which is subpar for their offense.
AT A GLANCE

This is Baylor's second road game of the season.In its first road game against Kansas State, Baylor saw its season-low point output as they put up just 35 points, which is subpar for their offense.
COACHING
Art Briles is one of the best offensive gurus out there and has even drawn some interest from other schools as he has shown he can run a plug-and-play system with multiple quarterbacks. Briles' system can beat you either way, but K-State showed that slowing Baylor's running game worked to an extent, but you still have to account for all facets. Briles will look to pass more, as he knows Kansas' offense can't realistically keep up.
MOMENTUM
Outside of Oregon, Alabama or Florida State, Baylor may be the hottest team in the country. On a 10-game winning streak, it looks to beat Kansas with its feature matchup with Oklahoma. Not a whole lot is going to halt Baylor's run at this point unless you believe in miracles.

OFFENSE
Charlie Weis said there were no potential pitfalls to the new offense management system instituted before last week's game. Kansas had one of the worst passing outings in the history of football last week, passing for only 16 yards. The passing game has been horrific for Kansas and without it, they can't win. The sad thing is that the problem is not easily remedied. Bad route running, catching, quarterback play and a shaky offensive line are all factors that contribute to this problem. All of those problems were identified by Weis—not exactly a quick fix there.

The defense played well last week, especially considering the absence of Ben Heeney. But Oklahoma has a good offense while Baylor has a great offense. Averaging 64.7 points per game this season, Baylor is a force that can't be stopped, and one defenses can only hope to contain. And if the offense gets three-and-out crazy like it has on numerous occasions this season, the contest could get ugly.

PREDICTION FOR KANSAS 56-17 BAYLOR KANSAS
QUESTION MARKS
Can the defense be blind to the momentum of the game? In past games, it's been evident that when the offense falls off, the defense is next to follow. But it's not exactly the defense's fault. Weis and crew can't expect any unit to be on the field that much (especially against Baylor, the fastest paced offense in the league). The offense is a question mark for each week, and until any of the numerous passing game problems are resolved, it will continue to cripple Kansas.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The special teams unit had one of its worst outings of the year last week, and an Oklahoma punt block-turned safety was the first domino to fall in a game that entirely flipped the switch on the momentum. Trevor Pardula didn't punt well last week, and when that happens, Kansas is without its best weapon.
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks have shown they can compete. They've held two of three Big 12 opponents to a scoreless first quarter. That has to mean something regarding the development of the program, and if Kansas can keep the game manageable headed into the locker room after the first half, that's a huge victory. The test for Kansas in that situation—which isn't exactly unlikely—is to see if it can actually make halftime adjustments and not let the game go in the third quarter like Kansas has shown it likes to do.
PLAYER TO WATCH
BABY JAY CHEERS IF
Edited by Sarah Kramer
Kansas can accrue more than 150 passing yards. If Kansas doesn't win this game, the next test victory is to see an improvement in the passing game, because without it, a big 12 win this season is unlikely. Kansas dominated Oklahoma with the run in the first half of last week's game, but it can only go for so long until the opponent figures it out. If Kansas can just prove that it can complement the run game, Baby Jay can still keep her hope.

Montell Cozart. The freshman quarterback took his first snaps as a Jayhawk last week and Weis made it clear that Cozart will be a part of many gameplans going forward. Cozart is likely to be played at least once or twice in the first half if Kansas can keep the game manageable. But if Baylor begins to make the Jayhawks play to its fast pace, Cozart may be the only answer if Heaps can't get the passing game in order.

The Baylor Bears come to Lawrence on Saturday with an undefeated 6-0 record and a Top 10 ranking that at times can be a bit overwhelming for Kansas players to prepare for.
But there is one thing that gives the Jayhawks some confidence against the top team in the Big 12: a home-field advantage
"They're coming into Lawrence, so that's something we're excited about." linebacker Jake Long said.
The only road game that Baylor has played this season was a 35-25 victory in Manhattan against the 2-4 Wildcats, Kansas State had a lead going into the fourth quarter of the game before two touchdowns sealed a Baylor win.
On Tuesday, Charlie Weis said that Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty calls the plays at the line of scrimmage, and if the crowd is loud enough it would make that more difficult.
But it takes a lot more than noise to stop the Baylor offense.
The Bears have the most successful offense in college football up to this point, with an average of just under 65 points per game this season.
Petty is the latest in a long line of talented quarterbacks to play for Baylor coach Art Briles. Two seasons ago, Robert Griffin III won the Heisman trophy as Baylor's quarterback, and last season's starter Nick Florence broke eight school records.
Briles knows what reasonable expectations should be for a talented quarterback, and at Big 12 media day before the season began Briles
had some incredibly high expectations for Petty.
"The first thing that popped into my mind is break every Baylor record there is offensive, which is what we expect him to do and what he plans to do," Briles said of Petty. "His expectations are to win every game and be the best quarterback in the United States of America."
Petty has followed those expectations by completing over 70 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,023 yards in six games with 15 touchdowns and his passer efficiency rating is the best in the nation. And, of course, the Bears have won every game.
Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk predicted he would win the Heisman this season, but he also had high praise for Petty.
"I've seen good, but Bryce Petty is great," Seastrun said at Big 12 media day. "You don't understand — this guy can throw the ball 80 yards downfield with no hesitation."
But when Jake Love was asked which aspect of the Baylor offense was more dangerous, he said all of their skill position players are dangerous.
Baylor is third in the nation in passing yards and seventh in rushing yards, and they spread the field horizontally from sideline to sideline, forcing the defense to do the same.
Weis said Baylor's offensive balance is its strength.
"If you load up the box, they'll throw it on every down. If you don't cover the box, they'll run it on every down," Weis said. "They can do both. Whatever you want to do, they'll gladly do the opposite."

"It has put us in a situation with three games left where we still have lots to play for," coach Mark Francis said. "I think the league right now is really close, so if we can take care of business in some of these games coming up, we can put ourselves in position to move up the league."
The much-needed victory on Sunday means the Kansas soccer team (6-8-2, 1-3-1) is in better shape going into the final two weeks of the regular season. Now nestsled in the middle of the Big 12 standings after earning its first conference victory, the team looks to continue the success against Texas Tech and Oklahoma State this weekend.
Francis said the Jayhawks match up well with both opponents and both are good teams. He said it will come down to executing like they did on Sunday against Baylor. He also said the key on Sunday was being more efficient all-around, including crosses and scoring scor
The Jayhawks are now in sixth place out of nine teams in the Big 12 after ending a six-game losing streak and a scoreless streak lasting over 400 minutes of play.
The Oklahoma State Cowgirls (6-3-6, 1-1-3) have a knack for tying their opponents and playing long games. In their current five-game winning streak, they have gone into overtime in four instances and played to three draws.
Senior forward Caroline Kastor broke the team scoring drought by scoring both goals in the 2-0 victory on Sunday.
They start by facing a tough Texas-Tech team in Lubbock,Texas, on Friday. The Red Raiders are in third place in the league and have won or tied their last 12 games
"It was big not only timing wise but also just because we had a scoring drought, so obviously winning was nice," Kastor said. "There was a lot of enthusiasm after that."
The tight race in the Big 12 has postseason implications for the Jayhawks. The last five teams in the standings, including Kansas, have one win each. The top eight teams can compete at the Big 12 Championship, which is in Kansas City, Kan., for the first time after being held in San Antonio the last 16 years.
The Red Raiders have the ability to score lots of goals. They have 38 on the season, with 14 different players scoring at least once. On Oct. 6 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the Texas Tech offense scored eight goals in the match.
They are 3-0-2 in the Big 12 and 13-1-2 overall.
The jayhawks' second opponent this weekend has a smaller offensive prowess. The scoring burden for Oklahoma State falls mainly on one player: freshman forward Courtney Dike, who has 11 of the team's 23 goals.
"At this point, our last three games all need to be wins." Kastor said. "I think that now's the time to do that, and I'm confident about where the team is at and how we're playing."
ing opportunities.
Kansas will face both opponents on the road. The Jayhawks will play Texas Tech at 7 p.m. Friday and Oklahoma State at 12 p.m. Sunday.

Technology keeps negativity visible to modern athletes
FARZIN VOUSOUGHIAN
fvousoughian@kansan.com
Athletes can't hide from negativity, thanks to social media Only 72 hours after the loss to Texas Tech, Kansas linebacker Ben Heeney had already moved on.
Heeney posted a photo of himself on Instagram celebrating his second interception of the season against Texas Tech with the caption reading, "2nd INT of the year. Man
I love this game." It didn't take long for a fan to comment on the photo and remind him of the 54-16 loss against the Red Raiders.
Heeney simply deleted the comment, but he still remembers what it said.
The defeat infuriated Texans fans, who are disappointed with the team this year. The most extreme incident, reported by Sports Illustrated, included a Texans fan who burned Schaub's jersey in Reliant Stadium's parking lot. The event was brought to Schaub's attention, and he deleted his Twitter account soon after hearing the news.
"Obviously they
Mike Meltser, who covers the Texans for Sports Radio 610 in Houston, said shutting down an ac-
"...it's like you're in a house and you know someone is whispering about you in the other room."
Heeney is not the only player to endure online criticism. After a 23-20 loss to Seattle in Week 4, the attacks on Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub were unrelenting.
wanted me to see the comment." Heeney said. "I tried to just brush it off"
Heeney said he reads what people say online and is not oblivious to how people talk about him and the rest of team. Although coach Charlie Weis advises the players to ignore the comments, some just can't help themselves.

respond to an argument or criticism by offering an olive branch," Melter said. "Take it a step, or two, down. I think there is a natural tendency to come to an agreement or understanding. I think it's an example of how people behind keyboards get a lot more courage than they would in person."
Schub's case is very similar to Chiefs left tackle Branden Albert's situation this past summer. Albert heard speculation from fans and the media about possibly moving to right tackle after the Chiefs drafted offensive tackle Eric Fisher. Upon
"I think the best thing to do in these types of situations is to
hearing the news, Albert erased his Twitter account to prevent being exposed to the rumors.
"Now that athletes are on Twitter, fans take that opportunity to troll them," Meltser said. "The hard thing about Twitter, it's like you're in a house and you know someone is whispering about you in the other room."
Running back James Sims, who is active online, said he does not hear a lot from fans on social media. Thanks to Twitter's privacy settings, Sims decided to protect his tweets, meaning only those he approves can follow and interact with him.
Kansas Director of Football Communications Katy Lonergan said the staff works together to keep an eye on what players tweet.
Former Kansas basketball player Wayne Simien never had to worry about Twitter because it didn't exist when he played. Simien said the popularity of the site is a sign of times and the continual advance of technology. Like many, he is aware of the actions that take place on Twitter and suggests that fans and athletes can find a more positive way to use it.
"I think it can be used as a great tool for communication, relationships and information," Simien said. "Hopefully people would be able to use it for the good it provides and not abuse it."

Election reform moves forward with coalitions intact
KU
THE UNIVERSITY OF
ELLE TERNES/KANSAN
Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler addressed election reform at last Wednesday's Student Senate meeting. Senate proposed the use of caucuses to help coalitions determine the presidential and vice presidential candidates.
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
Most senators — whether arguing for or against the coalition resolution — agreed that the Student Senate election process needs improvement.
Last week's resolution to remove coalitions from the election process failed, but election reform legislation will be discussed in Senate committees Wednesday.
Until then, Marcus Tetwiler student body president, encourages students to speak up when it comes to election reform.
"We're going to have our door open and include as many perspectives on the legislation as possible," Tetwiler said.
Tewiler said he was pleased with the debate on Wednesday and thinks it's a good sign for the future.
"For as many senators to stand up
and say reform is necessary, it really gives us a lot of support going into the reform process". Tetwiler said.
The main changes to election rules and regulations focus on limiting coalitions to allow more students to be involved in Student Senate. Tetwiler's main goal with election reform is to increase representation for the student body and increase Senate outreach to the student body.
Current Senate rules define a coa
lition as "any group of students who temporarily unite to campaign for Student Senate positions as defined in Article II of Student Senate Rules and Regulations and are registered as a student organization with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center."
The proposed definition stems from the original rule, adding that coalitions must hold a supervised caucus to elect presidential and vice presidential candidates and
a second caucus to approve the remaining Senate candidates of the coalition.
The proposed caucuses would be supervised by the election commission and allow members of the coalition to vote for whom they want as the presidential and vice presidential candidates, where in the past there were no caucuses or formal rules on how the presidential and vice presidential candidates were chosen.
Tetwiler said he hopes the caucuses will allow for more transparency in the selection of the candidates.
"If coalitions are to exist, then they should maximize representation and allow for party members to elect the tops of their ticket," Tetwiler said.
Another component of the legis lation restricts the time coalitions

Honor societies can provide leadership opportunities
ASHLEY BOOKER
abooker@kansan.com
After opening his email to the same third or fourth congratulatory honor society email, junior Sam Jackson refused to pay a dime and put his information out there.
Jackson, from Waldorf, Md., said the invitation seemed like a spam advertisement. He compared the honor society acceptance emails to spam emails alerting recipients that they have won a new TV.
Like Jackson, many students think national honor societies are not credible and are a scam because they require membership fees.
Advisors, such as journalism school advisor Dan McCarthy, continually deal with questions from students about these organizations.
requirements for eligible members are set by each honor society, sent to the registrar and the individual's information is sent back to the society. Contacting future members is up to the society itself
Honor societies are, "only as essential as the student makes them," McCarthy said. "Nothing inherently looks good, but, if you can speak to how your experience on the Officer Board of NSCS (National Society of Collegiate Scholars) developed better time and resource management skills, it was worthwhile. Otherwise, it looks like resume padding."
For Allen Schaidle, a senior from Metamora, Ill., contacting him by email instead of mail wasn't a problem. Rather, it was deciding which national honor society to join.
There are many national honor societies that have chapters at the University: Golden Key, NSCS, Phi

Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi to name a few.
The overall goal for honor societies is to promote the success of their students. But, each one has its own particular goals that separate them from the others.
"Because we invite students in their first year of college, NSCS offers the opportunity to fill leadership positions early on in a

student's career," NCS President Sondra Moore said.
Phi Beta Kappa's list of eligible members is quite different. Only students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences who have completed 100 credits and have taken four semesters of a foreign language — or show equal represented skills — are invited to join.
"Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest and best known society in the country." Phi Beta Kappa Chapter President Jeffrey Muran said.
Phi Kappa Phi is the second oldest national honor society. But unlike Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi extends its invitation to every discipline.
"We don't actually make the students across units (different schools) compete against each other, it is self-contained within the unit," Phi Kappa Phi Chapter President Angela Lumpkin said.
"It is important to only join the ones that are tailored toward your major or are considered the 'best.' I decided to join the two I am a part of (NSCS and Phi Kappa Phi) because I discussed them with faculty members," Schaidie said.
Certain distinctions should make the decision a bit easier, but if you can't decide, follow the advice of Schaidle.

LAWRENCE
Local actor's tweets receive technology award
DYLAN LYSEN
dlysen@kansan.com
Ric Averill didn't want to portray William Quantrill, and he wasn't sold on using Twitter either.
"I got rid of my Twitter account because I was sick of seeing when everyone was brushing their teeth," Averill said.
But that didn't stop the local actor from recognizing the potential for an acting exercise by playing the most infamous person in Lawrence history. Averill's acting, along with those of other participants, helped 1863 Commemorate Lawrence win the 2013 Technology Award given by the Kansas Museums Association at the KMA Annual Conference in Lawrence on Oct. 18. 1863
Commemorate Lawrence is a group of local organizations that worked together for the project.
Averill, who is the Lawrence Arts Center artistic director of performing arts, acted as William Quantrill and other "bad guys" for the 1863 Commemorate Lawrence's Twitter project #QR1863, a reenactment of Quantrill's Raid on Aug.21, 1863, exactly 150 years later. Averill and other actors tweeted status updates as if the raid happened that day.
"People loved it," Magariel said. "We had feedback from people who said they were at work and couldn't get anything done because they were too busy following the action."
The raid was an attack on the people of Lawrence during the American Civil War by Quantrill and his group of combatants of the Confederate Army. The attack left almost 200 people dead.
Magariel said 1863 Commemorate Lawrence recruited actors and others who were interested to join the project through Twitter. One participant even joined the project by seeing the casting
Abby Magariel, education and programs coordinator at the Watkins Museum of History, said the project sent 7,000 tweets and reached more than 1 million people.
Murl Riedel, the KMA Awards Chair, said the award was given to the project because of its innovative use of technology.
"We liked it because it went beyond social media for just promotion," Riedel said. "It's something that can be adapted for other commemorative events. It's pretty groundbreaking."
call on Twitter and tweeted from Colorado.
For such a massive project, large amounts of research had to be done for those who would write the tweets. Those who participated were given published memoirs and letters of the characters who lived in Lawrence during the event. Averill said that he had done some research on the subject for another project, which helped him with his tweets.
"It ended up being quite fun, but I did feel quite dirty after," Averill said. "You think of a situation like that and, regardless of the fact that and what they did were horrible actions, they had a sense of motivation for what they did."
Magariel said finding an actor to play William Quantrill was important, and Averill's presence in Lawrence as an actor helped move the project along.
"We knew we could trust him," Magariel said of Averill. "He was going to do a great job creating dialogue, it was going to be interesting, it was going to be engaging. It wasn't going to be just dry talk."
Magariel said there was even a Lawrence resident who was originally critical of the reenactment and created a satirical profile of a horse during the event. But when the project started, the horse profile began to participate with the project, and gave an account of Quantrill's raid through a horse's eyes.
Magariel said the project ended up working better than the group had anticipated, and that they plan to use the practice later for educational purposes.
"We knew it was going to be exciting, and we were going to have a whole lot of voices going at once," Magariel said. "But we didn't realize just how moved people were going to be."
With a project so large, there was a possibility for disaster, including the chance of southern sympathizers derailing the project through the public forum.

iPad art gains recognition in new exhibit
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Happily hunched over his iPad, Britain's most celebrated living artist David Hockney is pioneering in the art world again, turning his index finger into a paintbrush that he uses to swipe across a touch screen to create vibrant landscapes, colorful forests and richly layered scenes.

In this photo taken Thursday, Oct. 24, a man records how a painting made by David Hockney using an iPad takes shape at an exhibit in San Francisco. A sweeping new exhibit of Hockney's work includes about 150 iPad images.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
“It's a very new medium,” said Hockney. So now, in fact, he wasn't sure what he was creating until he began printing his digital images a few years ago. “I was pretty amazed by them actually,” he said, laughing. “I'm still amazed.”
A new exhibit of Hockney's work, including about 150 iPad images, opened Saturday in the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, just a short trip for Silicon Valley techies who created both the hardware and software for this 21st-century reinvention of finger-painting.
The show is billed as the museum's largest ever, filling two floors of the de Young with a survey of works from 1999 to present, mostly landscapes and portraits in an array of mediums: watercolor, charcoal and even video. But on a recent preview day, it was the iPad pieces, especially the 12-foot high majestic views of Yosemite National Park
that drew gasps.
Already captured by famed photographer Ansel Adams, and prominent painters such as Thomas Hill and Albert Bierstadt, Hockney's iPad images of Yosemite's rocks, rivers and trees are both comfortingly familiar and entirely new.
In one wide open vista, scrubby, bright green pines sparkle in sunlight, backed by Bridalveil Fall tumbling lightly down a cliff side, the distinct granite crest of Half Dome looms in the background. In another, a heavy mist obscures stands of giant sequoias.
"He has such command of space, atmosphere and light," said Fine Arts Museums director Colin Bailey.
Other iPad images are overlaid, so viewers can see them as they were drawn, an animated beginning-to-end chronological loop. He tackles faces and flowers, and everyday objects: a human foot, scissors, an electric plug.
Some of the iPad drawings are displayed on digital screens, others, like the Yosemite works, were printed on six large panels. Hockey's technical assistants used large inkjet prints reproduce the images he created on his iPad.
digital artwork gain legitimacy in the notoriously snobby art world where computer tablet art shows are rare and prices typically lower than comparable watercolors or oils.
Exhibiting iPad images by a prominent artist in a significant museum gives the medium a boost, said art historians, helping

can campaign and table for the election.
Candidates and coalitions currently have four weeks, five including election week, to table on campus.The proposed legislation would limit candidates to two weeks of tabling, including election week.
Chief of Staff Tyler Childress said the shorter time would force coalitions to focus on the issues and it would alleviate some of the election fatigue felt by students who are overwhelmed by the current campaign season.
"You're going to be gearing your energies toward what you're fighting for rather than the name branding that seems to happen in the spring semester," Childress said.

The reforms are broken into two proposed bills, which will go to the Student Rights and University Affairs committees for discussion on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

Demeaning fundraiser cheapens breast cancer fight
I love October. Besides being my birthday month and the month when temperatures finally dip below 80 degrees. October is the month of breast cancer awareness.
Each year I am amazed by the wide amount of businesses, schools and organizations that choose to go pink in the name of beating breast cancer. Some just seek to raise awareness with their "pink out" games, others want to raise funds through pink hair extensions or special deals at their stores, while still others want to involve cancer patients in a walk/ run event.
One local establishment, however, has a particularly unusual way to support the cause. Perhaps you've heard of it. It's the Jayhawk Café's "Bartenders in Bras, Booze for a Cause." It's pretty much exactly what you think it is. Female
employees wear nothing but bras and bottoms while bartending in order to draw a larger-than-usual crowd for the fundraiser.
On this night, patrons pay a higher cover charge to benefit various breast cancer charities. Last year's event raised more than $5,000 for the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Breast Center.
By Lindsey Mayfield
lmayfield@kansan.com
Here's my problem with the "bartenders in bras" scenario. You don't get to support one faction of women by objectifying another. I say this with full knowledge that men can contract breast cancer, as well, but that it is 100 times less common in men than in women.
I'm sure Lawrence Memorial Hospital is thrilled to receive thousands of dollars toward treating their breast cancer patients, but at the expense of the dignity of dozens of our Lawrence women? I'm sure they can find another
way to raise the funds.
Touting our most attractive Lawrence women in next-to-nothing behind a bar is not supporting a cause. It's a thinly veiled excuse to use female bodies for profit. And the hype around the event doesn't lead me to believe that supporting breast cancer is at the forefront of this night.
Take some of the tweets people used to recommend the fundraiser. One supporter: "Booastes and large amounts of booze at the
@JayhawkCafe tonight so what else can you ask for?" Another: "Combine boobs and booze at the @jayhawkCafe and you know its going to be a great night. #BartendersInBras" Still another: "Bartenders in Bras tonight! Guys, you can stare at the bartenders' boobs & it's okay! Girls, you can tease & tip the BOYS!"
Can we not think of any better way to support breast cancer efforts? I know from personal experience how willing these female employees are eager to help the cause, and willingly participate. But I don't need my friends to offer up their bodies to get my money. I'll just hand it to them to support a good cause.
If the jayhawk Café can raise the same amount of money with out the bartenders dressing half naked, I applaud them. But I don't think they can garner the same
amount of enthusiasm without the half-naked women, and that's the problem.
Just because breast cancer involves the word "breast" doesn't mean we can support it using near-nudity or offensive terms like boobies, tats and breastes. Until the male employees agree to wear thongs for prostate cancer, I'll continue spending the "bartenders for bras" night at home and give my money to Lawrence Memorial directly.
Lawrence is an extremely generous, socially aware town. Let's not betray it by using these types of tactics to support an otherwise upstanding cause.

'The Pale King' shows importance of discipline for long-term success
Today's column is once again brought to you by my intense obsession with David Foster Wallace's work. His final novel, "The Pale King," was left tragically unfinished. I have neither the space nor the clarity of opinion on it to discuss his suicide here, which is what cut the work short of coalescing into possibly his best (a tall order to fill with Infinite Jest already under his belt). In "The Pale King," Wallace immerses the reader in the world of an IRS auditing facility. This is hardly an exciting place for a novel to occur, you might think—and you are absolutely right: DFW selects this setting and cast of characters to bring the struggles of everyday modern life into sharp focus. The Pale King challenges our concept of success, suggesting that it is measured in disciplined, daily actions over time, rather than in an imaginary list of significant accomplishments.
Heroisim is where our concept of success manifests itself. What makes a hero? In popular culture, a hero might be the guy that can shoot a ball into a hoop better than anybody else, or the character in film that saves an entire planet/race, destroying the would-be destroyers in the process. We define heroisim in the fleeting moments of incredible transcendence of human limits and hold the heroes in high regard. DFW turns this notion on its head: "True heroism is in minutes, hours, weeks, year upon year of the quiet, precise, judicious exercise of probity and care--with no one there to see or cheer. This is the world."
By Jason Bates
jason.s.bates@gmail.com
This definition of heroism
isn't about what you do, but how you do it. It doesn't rely on your validation or recognition. Anyone can aspire to this heroism, which is about intentional personal control rather than decisive action at a critical moment. DFW brings out this new heroism against the backdrop of the monotonous workday of an IRS auditor. One of the great challenges that an everyday hero overcomes is that of boredom.
"To be, in a word, unborable..." he writes, "...is the key to modern life. If you are immune to boredom, there is literally nothing you cannot accomplish."
As college students we are lucky (and unlucky) to have an endless list of things to do and opportunities to make use of our time. Even with a full schedule, or maybe especially with a full schedule, boredom can creep in. Those hours spent grinding out homework, working a job, or even just grocery shopping can become an interminal torture. Not everyone works five days a week auditing tax returns, but to some degree we are entrenched in a routine. Rather than running away from boredom, DFW suggests that the secret is to transcend the monotony and live within it, yet without it.
I spend a significant amount of
my week working in a chemical engineering research lab. I deeply care about the broader impacts of the research like biorenewable chemical production and green reactor engineering. On a day-to-day basis, though, research involves precise repetition of experiments and great attention to detail. Progress doesn't come in great leaps and bounds, but in the incremental solution of thousands of smaller problems. Were I to succumb to boredom, I would be continually dissatisfied with the routine and disappointed in my (as of yet) lack of an academic publication. Instead, I have immersed myself in and focused my attention on solving the everyday problems, which will eventually yield those personal results and broader impacts.
I don't believe that DFW is suggesting that having bold aspirations is a bad thing, or that significant accomplishments don't have value or bring one a sense of success. It's that we spend most of our time in between these points. We don't spend every day of our lives walking down the hill with a degree in hand: we spend four (or more) years working toward this single day. And afterward, it's back to the everyday grind. I think that DFW is telling us to remember that we can experience heroism in the everyday so that, at one time or another, it will help us all make it to those singular moments of success.

CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
CORPORATE CAUSES
What charities do you think more people should know about?
Research business practices before buying
Step onto campus, scan the sidewalk and you're likely to notice a lot of people wearing TOMS. While you probably don't know that the shoes are modeled after the Argentinian alpargatas, or that TOMS founder and CEO Blake Mycoskie found the inspiration for his now-multimillion-dollar company while learning how to play polo in Argentina in 2006, you're probably aware that TOMS matches each sale with a donation of shoes to a child in need. October is International Fair Trade Month, but every purchase made year-round provides an opportunity for students as consumers to think about which business practices they want to support.
The "One for One" business model is simple: Produce shoes, sell them, and match each sale with a donation. It's been astonishingly successful - to date, TOMS has given away over ten million pairs of shoes, with plans to double that number within the next two years. It's also sparked controversy, with critics arguing that money spent on shoes could be invested in other, more efficient community interventions like health clinics or clean sources of drinking water.
The most serious criticism is that, by simply giving away the shoes, TOMS misses out on the opportunity to employ local workers and strengthen local economies. Kelsey Timmerman, author of "WHERE AM I WEARING? A Global Tour to the Countries, Factories, and People That Make Our Clothes," points out that our real, underlying problem in impoverished communities worldwide is not that individuals just decide not to manufacture and purchase shoes. It's that shoes become an unaffordable luxury when families are making tough decisions about finding food and water and shelter. Here, the obvious point is the one captured in the parable about deciding between giving someone a fish, feeding them for a single day, or teaching them to fish and empowering them to feed themselves for life.
Timmerman describes an example of a company with a very similar message as TOMS- with one key difference. soleRebels is a shoe company based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It employs about 100 people and pays them triple the average industry wage and quadruple the legal minimum wage. It also provides complete medical coverage and sends the children of its workers to school. The message from the founder.
By Amanda Gress
agress@kansan.com
Personally, I prefer the sole Rebels model. While I'm certainly not a fashion expert, I'd guess that the shoes will gain popularity in the U.S. as they increase their exposure – currently, they are sold in 40 countries worldwide. This doesn't mean that the TOMS model is a bad one, and they are taking steps to improve and update their practices. Currently, TOMS is giving a portion of profits to third-party charities working in the communities TOMS serves. In two years, the company plans to manufacture one-third of the shoes it gives away in the regions where they are donated. TOMS employs Haitian artists to hand-paint shoes to be sold, and last month Mycoskie announced that TOMS will open a manufacturing center in Haiti this January. The company has also begun to sell eyeglasses, using the profits to provide sight-saving medical care in thirteen countries.
Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu, is simple and powerful: creating a global brand of shoes while providing high quality jobs for individuals builds strong communities. This is evident in the way the company treats its workers – there are no quotas for how many shoes workers must produce per day, and the company provides transportation to and from work for its employees with disabilities.
Why should students care about the benefits or disadvantages to a business model, especially the business model of a company that is obviously doing its best to improve the lives of people around the world? Each purchase we make represents a choice, and I'd guess that students who buy TOMS are choosing to be stylish while doing good. That's admirable, and TOMS deserves credit for making consumers more aware of the seriousness of poverty worldwide. Our decision to support any company shapes the market for successful socially conscious groups - so it's important that we first take the time to know exactly what it is we're supporting.

Group, couple ideas simplify costumes
It's that time of year again—the time of year when we realize that we are sadly lacking Halloween costume ideas, leaving us scrambling at the last minute to find something for that costume party. But this year, don't scramble alone—your roommate can provide the perfect solution to your costume quandary.
Ladies, if you're feeling "Clueless" about what to do for a costume, find some short plaid skirts, blazers, knee-high socks and heels to
You don't need to be in a relationship to wear a two-person costume ("doctor") and "sexy nurse" don't scream originality, anyway). Grab your roommate and rope them into dressing up with you. And while one person dressing in all gray and another in all white could pass for a school spirited "rock" and "chalk," putting more thought into your costume will not only be more creative, it will save you from having to explain exactly what you are to every person who sees you.
Retro costumes that throw back to the days of college students' childhoods are a big trend this year. So why not incorporate this into your costume with your roommate? Not only will your costume be unique but will inspire many conversations about days gone by—an ice breaker if there ever was one.
dress up as Cher and Dionne from the classic 1995 film. Complete the look by finding a guy friend with a KU hat to be the Paul Rudd to your Alicia Silverstone.
If you and your roommate happen to look somewhat alike, find identical collared dresses that you don't mind splattering with fake blood. Adopt a blank stare and repeat the phrase "Come play with us, Danny" in a monotone voice to create a convincing Grady twins costume. Halloween is supposed to be scary, after all.
Guys, if you're lucky enough to get your hands on a suit, a "Men in Black" costume is only a pair of dark sunglasses away. Dress up a pen or laser pointer to create your own Neuralyzer.
There is nothing a woman loves more than a man in uniform. So for all of you men out there, channel your inner Maverick and Goose for a dashing costume idea. Grab some leather or bomber jackets, aviator sunglasses and blast "Highway to the Danger Zone" from your phone all night to complete the look. And if you find a girl who tells you to take her to bed or leave her forever, you have found a keeper, gentleman.
I have found a step up.
And don't think that I've forgotten those of you with multiple roommates. Play along with the retro theme by dressing up as your favorite groups from the past decades.
Ladies, grab your girlfriends and
dress up as one of your favorite girls groups from the 90s. Decide which of you most embodies Sporty, Posh, Baby, Ginger and Scary and pull it all together to become the Spice Girls. Even better, if you can spontaneously perform "Wannabee," you'll be the life of the party. However, there is no need to limit your group costumes to real life celebrities. Grab some animal print from your closet and be the Cheetah Girls or utilize the colors green, pink and blue to create your own Powernuff Girls costumes.
Guys, take a new approach to the ever-popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume—wear blue orange, purple and red shirts, but tape pictures of da Vinci's, Donatello's, Michelangelos' and Raphael's most famous works to yourself to demonstrate that you are far more cultured than you appear. And of course, you can never go wrong with superhero costumes. Find one of your girl friends to complete an Avengers costume, or simply pick and choose among the hundreds of comic book superheroes (and villains) available to you.
Go
With costumes like these, you and your roommates are bound to be the talk of the party. After all, who wants to be anything generic for Halloween? With a little thought and blast from the past, you can create a costume that will be remembered for years to come.

Manning leads Broncos to 45-21 win over Redskins
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — In all those years roaming the sidelines in Denver, Mike Shanahan never saw one get so ugly, so fast.
Not surprisingly, Peyton Manning had a hand in turning Shanaah's homecoming sour.
After being showered with aplause, then staked to a two-touch-down lead, the Broncos' old coach watched Manning and the Broncos score the last 38 points Sunday in a come-from-behind 45-21 victory over the Washington Redskins.
Manning overcame four turnovers and threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns, as the Broncos came back from a 21-7 deficit early in the third quarter.
Ahead by those two touchdowns after Manning threw a pick-6 to DeAngelo Hall when receiver Demaryius Thomas fell on an out route, Shanahan squinted into the sunlight, rolled-up game plan in hand, and looked at a familiar sight on the scoreboard in Denver, his team comfortably ahead
— his team comfortably ahead as the sun began to set over the Rockies.
Things changed quickly, though. Manning led the Broncos (7-1) on a 75-yard scoring drive to make it 21-14, the key play coming when Knowson Moreno ran for 5 yards on fourth-and-2 from the Washington 22.
Then, after the defense forced a punt, it was Manning picking and poking again, moving Denver 83 yards in 16 plays for the tying score, a 1-yard pass to Joel Dreeseen on the first play of the fourth quarter.
Robert Griffin III threw three straight incompletions and Sav Rocca followed by shanking a punt 15 yards. On the next play,
Manning gave Denver a 28-21 lead with a screen pass Moreno took in for a 35-vard touchdown.
The rest had all the makings of a routine runaway for the Broncos, who knocked Griffin out of the game late with an injured left knee, then got their final touchdown when Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie picked off backup Kirk Cousins and returned it 75 yards.
Von Miller ended the next drive with a sack and forced fumble to give Denver a field goal and a 10-point lead, and Washington (2-5) never got closer.
But all the video-game numbers, including the franchise-record 31 fourth-quarter points, masked some growingly troubling problems as the Broncos reach the halfway point.
Most notably, Manning has had some issues the last three weeks.
Yes, he went 30 for 44 and hit four receivers for scores, including Wes Welker, who scored for a career-high ninth time.
But Manning doubled his interceptions total for the season and lost a fumble, bringing Denver's league-leading total to 11 lost fumbles. In all, the quarterback simply didn't look as comfortable as he did the first five weeks, before he sprained an ankle that forced him to miss his first regular-season practice as a Bronco last week.
He got bailed out by the lowest-ranked pass defense, which held Griffin to a 15-for-30 day a week after he led a late winning touchdown drive in a 45-41 victory over Chicago. The Broncos forced five turnovers, including interceptions by Chris Harris, Rahim Moore and Shaun Phillips.

Stafford's sneak steals win from Cowboys
ASSOCIATED PRESS
'The Dallas Cowboys did, too. Stafford's 1-yard lunge over a pile of linemen with 12 seconds left and Johnson's 329 yards receiving lifted the Detroit Lions to a 31-30 win over Dallas on Sunday.
'I was yelling that I was going to spike the ball.' 1.
But their 't
DETROIT — Calvin Johnson thought Matthew Stafford was going to spike the ball for at least another snap.
"I was yelling that I was going to spike the ball," Stafford recalled. "But their linebackers were just standing there."
The Cowboys weren't just stand- around letting Johnson make catch after catch, but he made them look helpless.
Johnson almost broke an NFL record, and could celebrate the hat because of a comeback from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit that some people who entered Ford Field didn't see because they had left.
Even our fans didn't think we could pull this one out," he said. They were leaving, but we knew we could do it."
Johnson's total trails only the 336 yards receiving Flipper Anderson had for the Los Angeles Rams against New Orleans on Nov. 26,
1989 in a game that went into overtime. Anderson had 296 yards receiving in regulation.
The Cowboys dared Detroit to throw to Johnson with a lot of one-on-one coverage. They usually asked cornerback Brandon Carr to do the improbable by defending
"Even our fans didn't think we could pull this one out."
CALVIN JOHNSON
Detroit Lions wide receiver
him by himself, and sometimes attempted to slow him down with a zone.
"He had his way," Carr said. "And, we couldn't find a way to keep him from rolling."
Johnson noticed.
"It was crazy," he said. "We had a lot of one-on-one coverage today, and we were able to take advantage and hit some deep balls. Matt made some great throws to me." The Lions (5-3) overcame four turnovers without forcing a turnover, becoming the first team to do
that and win since New England did against Miami in 2007, according to STATS.
On their last drive, Stafford threw a 22-yard pass to Johnson to set up the winning score. The quarterback caught at least some Cowboys by surprise, including linebacker Sean Lee, who appeared to expect him to spike the ball to stop the clock.
"He kind of caught us off-guard," defensive tackle Jason Hatcher acknowledged.
Dallas (4-4) seemed to set itself up to win three straight for the first time this year to build a bigger lead atop the NFC East when Tony Romo threw his second touch-down — and third of the game — to Dez Bryant with 6:45 left to take 27-17 lead.
The Cowboys, though, allowed Reggie Bush to cap an 80-yard drive with a 1-yard TD with 3:33 left. They also had to settle for Dan Bailey's third field goal with 1:02 left after Tyron Smith was flagged for holding on third down, a mistake that stopped the clock even though Detroit declined the penalty.
"If we don't get called for a penalty, I think they probably had 20 seconds or so left." Romo said.
With no timeouts, the Lions went from their 20 to the Cowboys end zone thanks in large part to a 17-yard pass to Johnson, a 40-yard connection with Kris Durham and Johnson's 14th reception that gave them the ball at the Dallas 1.
Instead of spiking the ball, Staffo took the snap and leaped with his arms extended to beat the team he rooted for growing up in Highland Park, Texas.
"I was just as fooled as the defense was," Lions offensive guard Larry Fordford said.
Stafford was 33 of 48 for 488 yards —his second-highest total — with a 2-yard TD pass to Johnson in the first quarter and two interceptions. Reggie Bush had 92 yards rushing and a score.
Romo was 14 of 30, failing to complete half his passes for the first time since 2009, for 206 yards without a turnover.
Dallas began the game without two starters on both sides of the ball: DeMarco Murray and Miles Austin on offense and DeMarcus Ware and LILWilcox on defense.
Late in the first half, Romo threw two straight passes to Bryant — after not making him the intended receiver once — and he caught the second one with his left hand.

Jayhawks' weak offense dooms defense against Bears
MAX GOODWIN AND CONNER OBERKROM
mgoodwin@kansan.com, coberkrom@kansan.com
OFFENSE:D
The offense managed two touchdowns, which isn't far from the season average. Those points didn't come until after Baylor had begun to put its backup players on the field. The offense went three-and-out on six of the nine possessions it had in the first half.
DEFENSE: D
The defense gave up 505 yards in the first half. Baylor averaged more than nine yards per play. That is almost a first down every snap, but Baylor has an unmatched offense and puts up ridiculous stats with regularity. Bryce Petty threw for 430 yards, and didn't even finish the third quarter.
COACHING: B-
Charlie Weis had a defensive game plan to just keep the offense in front of them and not give up plays, and it worked early as Baylor went three-and-out on the first two possessions. But no team can hold off the Bears' offense for long. The Jayhawks gave a good effort in the second half and didn't give up on a game that was way out of hand.
SPECIAL TEAMS: B-
The special teams unit got a lot of work in Saturday, Trevor Pardula punted 11 times and four of those ended up inside of Baylor's 20-yard line. The Jayhawks had some impressive kick returns as well. A solid game for this unit, but when you have to punt on almost every drive, your stats will look impressive.
GLASS HALF FULL
Kansas stayed with Baylor for the most of the second half, partly because the game was well out of the reach as Baylor thrashed Kansas' secondary with its rapid fire pace, racking up 38 points in the first half. Even if Baylord had its backup quarterback in, who fumbled twice, Kansas only gave up 21 points and scored 14 thanks to a Brandon Bourbon run and a Rodriguez Coleman catch. Another superlative from this game was that Weis finally unleashed Montell Cozart and he got to exhibit his hyped-up arm strength. He only threw one ball that really stood out—a 45-yard strike right on the money to Rodriguez Coleman over two defenders. Cozart overtweaked a few other receivers later down the road, but his arm strength was apparent.
GLASS HALF EMPTY
The offense stalled out of its game plan early on and gave the defense no chance whatsoever. They couldn't sniff a first down, except when a penalty call went in their favor. The Heaps-Cozart hedgepodge didn't exactly go favorably either, as they were 11-of-33 for just 154 yards passing, with most of those coming in the second half when Baylor let its foot off the gas pedal.
GOOD, BAD OR PLAIN STUPID
While Baylor didn't put up more than 70 points at Memorial Stadium, they still put up some record numbers. It was the third most yards Kansas has ever given up and Bryce Petty had over 400 yards passing. You can throw out stats all day on this game, but the offense exacerbated the situation by not successfully holding onto the ball longer. This was a beatdown, there are no two ways about it.
VERDICT: PLAIN STUPID
DELAY OF GAME
Usually special teams are always the silver lining, and is the only one you can find within this team in games like this. However, after Matthew Wyman made five out of his first six field goals, he now has missed two extra points and one field goal in the last two games. Shouldn't be too much to worry about going forward, but it hasn't been pretty for him in the last two occasions.
We've got the right place for you.

He finished the day with just two receptions but totaled 75 yards, including a touchdown catch from Jake Heaps.

THE MORNING BREW
After tonight's game, we will officially be halfway through the 2013-14 NFL season. This has been a season of bizarre happenings, with teams at both the top and bottom of their divisions that no one saw coming. This season has had no shortage of injuries, upsets and controversies. Powerhouses aren't playing like powerhouses and underdogs are starting to produce more upsets. Here is my recap of the first half of the NFL season.
Injuries
Every NFL season is bound to have its fair share of injuries. But this year, star players are dropping like flies all around the league, and seriously hurting their team's chances of making the playoffs. Just last week, four players went down with season ending injuries. Reggie Wayne and Sam Bradford ended their years with ACL injuries. Jermichael Finley went down with a neck injury and Brian Cushing will miss the whole season again with a leg injury. Randall Cobb and Doug Martin will also be missing serious amounts of time as they tend to their injuries. A lot of lesser-known players like T.Y. Hilton and Mike James are going to have to shoulder the load and help their

teams win games
Surprises
This NFL season is featuring many surprises in the standings and power rankings league-wide. Last week the NFL power rankings came out with the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs as number one. The Chiefs are atop the AFC West with a record of 8-0, a game ahead of Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. As weak of a schedule as the Chiefs have played, it is still impressive to finish half of the season without a loss. Can the Chiefs compete with the powerhouse Denver Broncos to win the AFC West? That will truly judge the Chiefs' Super Bowl hopes. The Vikings and the Giants are two teams that are surprising on the other end of the spectrum. They went into the week 29th and 30th in the power rankings after both being playoff teams last season. The Giants squeaked out a victory yesterday against the Michael 'Vick-less'Eagles and the Vikings played the Packers on Sunday Night Football.
Individual Performances
The consensus first-half MVP is none other than Peyton Manning. He has 29 touchdown passes through eight games. He has a passer rating of 123.3 and has only thrown six interceptions, three of which came in yesterday's game against the Redskins.
THE BREW
He is leading the Broncos to an impressive year where they are favorites to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch are leading the Seattle Seahawks to an equally impressive year. To go along with one of the best defensive units in the league, Lynch is second in the league in rushing yards and touchdowns while Wilson is top 10 in the league in passer rating.
There are also a few players having uncharacteristically poor seasons. Tom Brady has thrown only nine touchdown passes and has a QBR of 75.3. Most of Brady's offensive weapons are hurt, and he is struggling with his young receiving unit. Indianapolis' Trent Richardson had a standout rookie season with the Brown, but is having quite the sophomore slump. He has 333 rushing yards and a mere two touchdowns. The trade to
the Colts hasn't catapulted his production this season like some had thought.

Baylor's strong offense tramples Kansas
After two drives off Jake Heaps, Coach Charlie Weis decided to bring in Montell Cozart in Saturday's game against Baylor. Cozart got his chance to showcase his arm coming in for four straight drives after Heaps was taken out.
Cozart finished the day 4-of-14 for 69 yards and his highlight play came in the third quarter when he threw a 45-yard downfield strike to Rodriguez Coleman, the longest play of the day for the Kansas offense.
Weis said he knew that Cozart was going to pass more than he did last week against Oklahoma.
but the quarterback position is still a little fuzzy.
"We knew Montell was going to play more this week than he did last week," Weis said. "And I think as we go forward, rather than just worry about settling on one [quarterback], we have to both get them ready to play."
As the game got out of hand in the second half, Heaps and Cozart split the offensive reps and looked to carry a similar role going forward.
Heaps threw one touchdown pass in the second half. Combined, Heaps and Cozart threw 11-of-33 for 154 passing yards.
The future is promising for Cozart and as the learning curve
has sped up with the new situation, along the sidelines he was still himself. Tight end limmay Mundine pointed out that he was poised as he has been all season.
"Just like last week into the game, he was very calm, cool and collected, he wasn't stuttering or shaking." Mundine said. "He was a little quiet at times, but other than that he was perfectly fine."
Piterson saw two targets in the first three plays, but didn't have
Tony Pierson was suited up for the first time in two games after suffering a head injury in the Oct. 5 game against Texas Tech. He saw some action in the first two series and then didn't see the field the rest of the game.
any receptions.
Pierson stretched the Baylor defense early on, with one deep ball over the middle that Heaps overthrew and the other a corner route that he dropped near the sidelines.
"It hurt a little with Tony going down early because all the bombs were going to him," Weis said.
Weis said that he aired on the side of caution with Pierson and that he was dizzy after he came out.
Kansas' game plan of trying to milk the clock and trying to keep Baylor's high-octane offense off the field went awry.
Kansas' first tour possessions spelled out trouble, accounting for
14 plays of just 11 yards of offense.
After forcing Baylor to punt twice, Kansas' offense had a chance to make a statement, but the stalling offense continued to haunt the Kansas defense.
Kansas defender just four times Kansas rushed just four times in the first four drives and as its passing game was stifled, so was its running game, rushing the ball 23 times for a meager 53 yards over the first half.
After Baylor's two punts, the floodgates opened. Baylor scored in its next four straight possessions and jumped to a 28-0 lead.
and jumped to Kansas passed it more than its are accustomed to and the reality set in once again - the passing game had to prosper in order for
"I knew the way they played defense and the way we've been playing on offense that those safeties were going to play really close to the line of scrimmage," Weis said.
Kansas to have a fighting chance.
Kansas had the ball for more than half of the game outdueling Baylor in time of possession 37:53 to 22:07, but their miscues of trying to hold onto the ball early in the game turned the game over to Baylor. After a few hiccups on offense, the Bears never looked back, racking up 743 yards of offense and 59 points.

COMMENTARY
Tarik Black key to non-conference success
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
A lot is being said of what this Kansas basketball team can do this year.
Andrew Wiggins can be the best player in the NCAA. Perry Ellis can lead the team in scoring. Joel Embid can be the next great post player to come out of Lawrence.
And until the freshmen adjust to the college game and the veterans figure out how to lead, a lot will be asked of Tarik Black.
It's true, all of this can happen But even if it does, it likely won't come together in one contest. The safe bet is that it doesn't happen before conference play.
At Memphis, Black nearly averaged eight points and five rebounds. At Kansas, he'll be expected to do a whole lot more – he's going to have to be the guy Bill Self doesn't worry about.
While Self fiddles with the lineup and tinkers with the playbook, Black will have to remain the constant, he'll have to assume the role as Self's rock. Especially with how tough the Jayhaws' non-conference schedule is.
"We're going to make mistakes and we'll struggle in some areas." Self said at Big 12 media day. "I assume closing close games out could be a struggle until you learn how to win and that kind of stuff."
But Black can't be the one making those mistakes. As a senior, he should already know how to win. We already know he can show up for big games.
When Memphis matched up against the eventual National Champion Louisville Cardinals last year, Black came out with one of his best performances of the year - 21 points, two rebounds and two steals.
Because Self will spend as much time as he can getting his young guys ready for Big 12 play, and if all goes according to plan, it won't matter who's taking the shots.
With Kansas facing Duke, Colorado, Florida, San Diego State and Georgetown early in the season. Black will have plenty of chances to prove the Louisville game wasn't a fluke.
This much was made obvious when Self announced Black would have an opportunity to play as much as he wants this season. He'll likely have the ball as much as he wants to - at least early on this year.
still, his presence on the team means more than that. If the Jayhawks want to take advantage of the plethora of teaching moments coming their way, they're going to need a safe way to score points and getting the ball to a veteran big man in Self's offense is about as safe as it gets.
"The games that we play non-conference," Self said. "If that can't get a freshman ready to become a sophomore by mid-season, I'm not sure there is any schedule out there that can."

I MAX GOODWIN

The layhawks trailed by 45 points and the Baylor back-up players had been on the field for half of the the third quarter.
At the start of the fourth quarter there were a couple hundred dedicated fans left in the student section.
In the end it was a 59-14 mauling that could have been worse.
At halftime, with Kansas down 38-0, Charlie Weis called his team out.
"Are we going to lose 200 to nothing? Or are we going to be competitive?" Weis asked his team.
In the second half, the Jayhawks managed to halt the beat down
and score two touchdowns.
"You don't get awards for playing it close in the second half, but you do evaluate by how you play in the second half," Weis said.
Weis saw most of his players fight back, but it was in front of a nearly empty Memorial Stadium.
Baylor spread its offense from sideline to sideline, as they are known for doing, and engulfed the Kansas defense with strike after strike to the end zone. The biggest issue for Weis with the defense was missed tackles, and the players agreed.
"If you tackle that bad you can't win," defensive lineman Keon Stowers said.
But when he got on the field against the Bears, he realized just how fast and deceptive they are.
that he thought his team could avoid.
"If you tackle that bad you can't win."
KEON STOWERS Kansas football defensive lineman
"They are a well coached team, they are a dynamic offense and they do a good job of adjusting," Stowers said.
When the Kansas players tried
to keep the receivers in front of them and avoid big plays, Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty threw the ball underneath. When the jayhawks adjusted, he went deep
"That's their offense, you take away one thing and here comes another thing." Stowers said.
The Jayhawks aren't the first team that Baylor has done this to. The Bears have scored more than 70 points in four games this season, and 69 in another.
In comparison, the Jayhawks defense wasn't so bad.
Petty threw for 430 yards, three touchdowns and ran for another.
But, two Bears running backs still ran for more than 100 yards, and a third ran for 55. In all, Bay lor ran for five touchdowns and more than 300 yards.
And that was all in just two and a half quarters of play before Seth Russell came off the bench.
1
Defensive backs rotated in and out in the Kansas secondary, hoping to keep up with the Baylor receivers, but no matter who was in on defense the receivers gashed them down the field, play after play.
Despite the 59 points scored, Baylor's offense was on the field for 15 minutes less than Kansas.
The only time the up-tempo Baylor offense slowed down was when the back-up players had come onto the field.
If there is a better offense in college football, Weis said he would have a tough time finding it.

Weekend losses jeopardize playoff berth

KANSAS 3
The quest to stay out of the bottom of the Big 12 standings became more difficult after a disappointing weekend for the Kansas soccer team. The Jayhawks lost 0-1 to Texas Tech on Friday and 0-2 to Oklahoma State on Sunday, both on the road.
In each match, the Jayhawks' opponent scored in the first 20 minutes, and the Jayhawks couldn't build a comeback.
"We played well, and battled hard," Coach Mark Francis said. "I thought we came out in the second half, and we were going at them. It just wasn't meant to be."
The Cowgirls' first goal came off the foot of midfielder/forward Allie Stephenson. She was assisted by forward Krissi Killion on a long through ball into their attacking third of the field. Francis said his team lost track of Stephenson, and she was wide open. The Cowgirls put the game away for good with another goal in the 65 minute by midfielder Madison Mercado. Mercado was assisted by forward Courtney Dike.
Estrada received a red card — the first Kansas red card in four years — in the 57th minute. She earned it by receiving her second yellow card of the match, which results in a red card. On that play, she collided with an Oklahoma State player.
Freshman defender Aurélie Gaznet guards the ball against Baylor on Oct. 20. This was the Jayhawks' last win in conference.
"They just got tangled up," Francis said. "It didn't look deliberate

by either player."
While Francis said he thought the call was too harsh, he said the referee had a better view of the play. Estrada's ejection forced the Jayhawks to play shorthanded one player for the rest of the match. Kansas and Oklahoma State also combined for six yellow cards, three for each team. Kansas' cards went to Estrada, freshman defender Aurélie Gagnet and junior midfielder/forward Jamie Fletcher.
The Jayhawks had many opportunities to find the back of the net. They were even with the Cowgirls in shots, 15-15. Fletcher led the team with four shots. Sophomore midfielder Liana Salazar and sophomore forward Ashley Williams had three apice.

e the conference tournament.
The 0-2 weekend makes Kansas' final game this Friday against Oklahoma much more important. The top eight teams, out of nine, make the conference tournament.
If the Jayhaws had won on Sunday, they would have clinched a spot. Instead, Oklahoma and Kansas will battle for the final spot during their match. Kansas will earn the spot with a win or a tie. With a loss, the Jayhawks' season would be over.

Gina Westergard, an associate professor of metalsmithing and jewelry at the University, always knew she would have a creative profession. Her passion for creating art paid off this past weekend when she received the Featured Artist Award at the 2013 Lawrence ArtWalk, an award voted on by other artists at the event.

"It meant a lot to me because they were other artists recognizing me, so their perspective on it is maybe a little different from somebody who isn't an artist," Westergard said. "I was very humbled by it and very honored."
The show, where Westergard sold jewelry, vessels and urs allowed Westergard to try out new techniques and designs. These pieces took anywhere from hours to months to create, so when Westergard sold a majority of her work, she considered the show a success.
"This was a good opportunity for me to get to show my work for people who don't often see it", Westergard said.
As a teacher, Westergard has
the freedom to make the type of creative work she's interested in. Working with metal also gives her the chance to diversify her works, which she says all "focus on the body in very different ways."
Westergard said her art is often inspired by nature, such as the change in seasons and the Kansas landscape, which translates into her work through color and design. After Westergard strikes inspiration, the creative process begins.
According to Westergard this process is both critical and analytical, but an intuitive process also develops over time.
"You know when it's done, or when it's right, when it makes you wiggle all over," Westergard said. "There's just something inside that's winking, and

Grace period ends for student loans

FINANCES
ckuiper@kansan.com
In November, the six-month grace period during which payments for student loans are not required will end, and millions of college graduates will begin to chip away at their new debt.
Across the country, 37 million students combine to make up $1 trillion in student debt, making it the biggest consumer debt outside of mortgages. At the University specifically, 53 percent of graduates leave with debt and owe an average of more than $22,000, according to Project on Student Debt.
Yoon Sook Chung, a senior educator for Student Money Management Services at the University, says many young Americans are ill-informed when it comes to borrowing for school.
"When they come in, freshmen don't know what they're getting into and seniors don't know what their doing when they're about to begin their repayment" Chung said. "They don't know how much they can afford, they take out too much money, they don't know about grace periods. There's a lot they don't know."
Chung said most public student loan payment plans fall into three categories that can last up to 25 years: 10-year payment plans, pay-as-you-earn plans and income-based plans.
Index
Here are the basics on each of those plans, and what students can expect when paying back their loans.
Standard 10-year payment plan The standard repayment plan is the most cost-effective repayment plan for students, and is normally applied to loans automatically unless other arrangements are made. Over 10 years, graduates will pay at least a $50 monthly payment, and they will pay less interest for the loan than other plans as well. With this option, the payments will remain the same throughout the repayment period, too.
"If you take a general look at everything overall, the standard plan is the one we recommend," Chung said. "Ten years is the best way to do it for most of our lives."
Under this scaled-down plan, graduates' monthly payments will be 10 percent of their income.
Pay-as-you-earn
and payments will fluctuate as their pay does. This plan is recommended for graduates who are experiencing financial hardship and are unsure if they can afford their monthly payments.
Under this plan,depending on how long payments are made the graduate may end up paying much more than under other plans because of the interest on the loan.
What makes this income-based repayment system different than most is that it only lasts up to 20 years. After that, the remaining student debt is waived by the government, and the amount waived is taxed as income. Income based
The loan forgiveness for public service employees is available to borrowers who are using the income-based repayment plan, and forgives the loan for those employed full time in a public service profession like firefighting or nursing.
Under the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program, borrowers who teach for five consecutive years in a school that serves low-income families may be eligible for loan forgiveness of up to $17,500.
However, this doesn't mean there are no opportunities for student debt to be forgiven. Among the options available to students are the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program and loan forgiveness for public service employees.
Edited by Sylas May
Income-based
Also, instead of the loan being forgiven after 20 years, it will be forgiven after 25.
"If they owe money and don't pay, the government will come and garnish their paychecks," she said. "If they do that, obviously they're going to damage their credit history so much."
One of the common misconceptions about student loans is that they can be forgiven easily through bankruptcy like most other debts, but Chung says that is not the case.

Doctoral students awarded Self Graduate Fellowships
ASHLEIGH TIDWELL
atidwell@kansan.com
The University has selected six doctoral students to receive the Madison and Lila Self Graduate Fellowship, a four-year award given to new or first-year doctoral students.
This year's Self Graduate Fellows are:
- Theodore "Ted" D. Harris: ecology and evolutionary biology
- Brittany N. Krutty: physics
- Michelle McWilliams: molecular and integrative physiology at the KU Medical Center
- Andrea L. Nuckolls: neurosciences at KU Medical Center
- Joseph M. Siegel: chemistry
- Michael T. Stees: electrical engineering and computer science
The mission of the Self Graduate Fellowship is to identify and recruit exceptional Ph.D. students
who show promise in the way of making significant contributions to their own fields of study and society. The Fellowship also provides development opportunities for these students.
opportunities for these students Fellowship recipients are chosen for their vision, career goals and achievements in their fields of study, according to the Madison and Lila Self Graduate Fellowship website. Candidates are students in business, economics,
engineering, mathematics biological, biomedical pharmaceutical and physical sciences.
Fellows receive annual monetary support to cover tuition and fees and are appointed as graduate research or teaching assistants within their departments.
Madison "Al" and Lila Self started and endowed the Self Graduate Fellowship based on their belief in the importance
of developing leadership for tomorrow. The six new fellowship recipients, along with the other current fellows, make 30 in a total of 146 students who have benefited from the fellowship since it was established in 1989.

Pacific leaders sign climate deal
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The governors of Pacific coastal U.S. states and a Canadian province official on Monday vowed to collectively combat climate change by coordinating policies that place a price on greenhouse gas pollution and mandating the use of cleaner-burning fuels.
The governors of California, Oregon, Washington and the environment minister of British Columbia, Mary Polak, gathered in San Francisco to commit to working together to coordinate efforts with the hope of stimulating a clean-energy economy in a region with a combined gross domestic product of $2.8 trillion.
THE HONOURABLE MAYOR OF THE WEST BEND ARENA, DAVID F. PARKS, AND THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE WEST BEND WATER SUPPLEMENTARY CITY, JAMES R. WILLIAMSON, SHaking hands in a show of unity and respect between the two leaders.
"We are the first generation to feel the sting of climate change
— through cap-and-trade and a carbon tax, respectively — and have also already adopted clean fuel standards.
California and British Columbia already have placed a price on greenhouse gas emissions
and we are the last generation who can do something about it," Washington Gov. Jay Insele said
Under terms of the agreement announced Monday, Oregon and Washington's governors are committing their states to move forward with similar policies, even though the legislatures of both states have denied previous attempts to adopt cap-and-trade.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Washington Gov. Jay Inselee, right, shakes hands with California Gov. Jerry Brown before signing an agreement with Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber and Mary Polak, a representative of the premier of British Columbia, to collectively combat climate change on Monday.
It was yet another climate-change related agreement with other states and nations for California Gov. Jerry Brown. In the past year he has inked non-binding deals with Chinese provinces for better collaboration on science and technology, linked the state's cap-and-trade market to Quebec, Canada's and signed on with northeastern states to increase electric vehicle infrastructure.
Brown conceded the fact that alone, these states can't do much to change climate change. But he hoped the collaborations would gain momentum and scope.
This is global. So, if it's only
Oregon, Washington, California and British Columbia, nothing's going to happen. You got to get everybody," Brown said. "You've got to get China, you're going to have to get India. You have to get Texas and Alabama ..."
The deal stems from the work of the Pacific Coast Collaborative, a group meant to organize climate change and clean energy policies in a region with 53 million people.
Washington's Inslee supports a statewide cap on carbon-fuel
emissions, among several ideas to get the state closer to reaching goals set in 2008 to cut global warming pollution.
KANSAS
Secretary of state candidate drops out
TOPEKA, Kan. — A Kansas City-area businessman said Monday that he's dropping out of the Kansas secretary of state's race for family reasons and will endorse a former legislator who switched parties to run for the Democratic nomination.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Randy Rolston, of Mission Hills,
jumped into the race at the end of
last year and gained notice by
immediately loaning $201,000
to his fledgling campaign for
the Democratic nomination.
Former state Sen. Jean Schodorf,
of Wichita, who served 12 years
in the Legislature as a moderate Republican, confirmed last month that she would also seek the Democratic nomination.
Schodorf's decision set up a contest in the August 2014 primary for the right to challenge conservative GOP incumbent Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
Rolston said Monday that he reconsidered running after his 94-year-old father was diagnosed with untreatable leukemia earlier this year.
"I really can't spend the time on this," Rolston said of the campaign. "I am going to back out and endorse her."
Schodorf plans to formally launch her campaign Wednesday at a news conference in Wichita. In recent weeks, prominent Democrats have talked up her candidacy.
She was chairwoman of the Senate Education Committee but lost her Republican primary in 2012 as conservatives successfully targeted most of the chamber's GOP moderates.
Schodorf and Kobach did not immediately return telephone messages seeking comment about Rolston's decision. Rolston said Schodorf will make a strong candidate against Kobach.

While Kobach has contributed some of his own money to his campaign, he's also been able to raise funds from outside contributors. Kobach began the year with about $61,000 in his campaign fund.
Kobach, a former law professor, is the architect of one state law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls and another mandating that new voters provide proof of U.S. citizenship when registering. Kobach contends the laws combat potential election fraud, but critics contend they will unnecessarily suppress turnout.

As a senator, Schodofv voted for both requirements in 2011. However, she's since criticized the proof-of-citizenship rule and has said voters should oust Kobach because of the number of registrations on hold.
As of Monday, about 17,200 prospective voters' registrations were on hold because they have not presented a birth certificate, passport or other papers documenting their citizenship to elections officials. Until they do, they aren't eligible to vote.

AUSTIN, Texas — A federal judge determined Monday that new Texas abortion restrictions place an unconstitutional burden on women seeking to end a pregnancy, a ruling that keeps open dozens of abortion clinics across the state while officials appeal.
with the conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
The ruling by District Judge Lee Yeakel came one day before key parts of the law the Legislature approved in July were set to take effect. Lawyers for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers argued in their lawsuit that a provision requiring abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital less than 30 miles away would have effectively shuttered about a third of the state's 38 clinics that perform abortions.
"I have no doubt that this case is going all the way to the United States Supreme Court," Abbott said during stop in Brownville, Texas, as part of his campaign to replace retiring Gov. Rick Perry.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, whose office argued the law protects women and the life of the fetus, immediately filed an appeal
Although several conservative states in recent months have approved broad abortion limits, the Texas ones were particularly divisive because of the number of clinics affected and the distance some women would have to travel to get an abortion.
All the other appeals — including the one from Mississippi, which like Texas is within the 5th Circuit — deal only with whether to lift a temporary injunction preventing the restriction from taking effect. The Texas appeal could be the first that directly addresses the question of whether the provision violates the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion.
Federal judges in Wisconsin. Kansas, Mississippi and Alabama also have found problems with state laws prohibiting doctors from conducting abortions if they don't have hospital admitting privileges.
The admitting privileges provision "does not bear a rational relationship to the legitimate right of the state in preserving and promoting fetal life or a woman's health and, in any event, places a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion," Yeakel wrote.
In another part of his ruling, Yeakel, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, partially blocked the provision requiring doctors to follow an 18-year-old U.S. Food and Drug Administration protocol. He found that the state could regulate how a doctor prescribes an abortion-inducing pill, but the law failed to allow for a doctor to adjust treatment in
"As a mother, I would rather see our tax dollars spent on improving our kid's schools than defending this law."
WENDY DAVIS Texas senator
Abortion-rights supporters complained that requiring doctors to follow the FDA's original label for an abortion-inducing drug would deny women the benefit of recent advances in medical science.
Other portions of the law, known as House Bill 2, include a ban on abortions after 20 weeks and a requirement beginning in October 2014 that all abortions take place in a surgical facility. Neither of those sections was part of this lawsuit.
order to best protect the health of the woman taking it.
"Nearly 40 percent of the women we serve at Whole Woman's Health choose medication abortion and now Texas is preventing these women from the advances in medical practice that other women across the United States will be able to access," she said.
The law requiring admitting privileges was the biggest obstacle facing abortion clinics in Texas, and the ruling gives them a temporary reprieve until new regulations go into effect next year.
Mississippi passed a similar law last year, which a federal judge also blocked pending a trial scheduled to begin in March. Mississippi's attorney general asked the 5th Circuit to lift the temporary injunction so the law could be enforced, but the judges have left it in place signaling they believe there is a lo-
Unlike the Mississippi case, Yeakel's order is a final decision, setting the groundwork for the 5th Circuit to review the merits of the law, not just an injunction against it.
Any Hagstrom Miller, president of Whole Woman's Health, said the judge did not go far enough.
The proposed restrictions were among the toughest in the nation and gained notoriety when Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis launched a nearly 13-hour filibuster against them in June. She is now the only Democrat in the race for Texas governor.

Davis said the ruling didn't surprise her.
"As a mother, I would rather see our tax dollars spent on improving our kid's schools than defending this law," she said in a statement.
accepted applications and none have announced a decision. Many hospitals with religious affiliations will not allow abortion doctors to work there, while others fear protests if they provide privileges. Many have requirements that doctors live within a certain radius of the facility, or perform a minimum number of surgeries a year that must be performed in a hospital.
During the trial, officials for one chain of abortion clinics testified that they've tried to obtain admitting privileges for their doctors at 32 hospitals, but so far only 15
Beth Shapiro, chairwoman of board of directors of Lubbock's Planned Parenthood Women's Health Center, said no hospital in Lubbock has granted privileges to the lone doctor from East Texas who flies in to do abortions when there are procedures scheduled. There is not incentive for hospitals to do so, she said.

MyResNet Internet service is slower than advertised
I've been living at the dorms on Daisy Hill for most of a semester now, and I can't wait to get out.
I live in Lewis Hall, so I'm close to the cafeteria and campus. My roommates are great (especially considering I went four bedroom potluck). I've made a ton of friends, have enough living space, a good view, a nice floor, etc. All of this is at a reasonable price. It seems perfect, so why do I want to leave so badly? Literally only one reason: The Internet speeds are intolerable.
Apogee Inc., the company responsible for 'providing' universities nationwide with resident Internet, is the bane of my existence. Apogee claims their mission is "cultivating an environment where students thrive" and that they want to "foster the potential of every student". Sorry, no.
How am I supposed to create the next Microsoft, Google or Dell (as they so keenly advertise could
happen on their network) when I often can't load websites?
I took some tests to back up my opinion with numbers.
Using Speedtest.net, I found my wireless download speed to be about 5 mbps and my upload speed near 3 mbps, with a ping of 68 ms. I know people may not understand the language of bandwidth, so let me break this down for you. Internet speeds operate in megabits, which are equal to one-eighth of a megabyte that you see on a USB drive or computer. So for every one megabit, I download or upload an eighth of a megabyte per second. At the five megabits per second speed, I could download a 1 gigabyte file (1,024 megabytes) in about 27 minutes. That is, on a Friday night when the dorms are empty and traffic is minimal.
The 5 and 3 mbps connection is near the national average for Internet speed. It's acceptable in the United States, which is internationally ranked No. 32 for

download speed and No. 42 for upload, but the issue is that it's not remotely consistent. I tried to test my speed on a Sunday evening- and the internet wouldn't even load. I was able to find Wi-Fi access in the floor's study room, but it was so slow I couldn't complete my speed test. This happens more often than not during the week, when I cannot play music, search Google or use any basic functions of the Internet. I would use the typically faster Ethernet cable to connect, but my ports do not work. MyResNet Internet actually makes my phone slower - I'm
better off using 3G in most cases. I've called about my speeds and issues but their 24/7 customer service was inept and not remotely helpful.
I'm not going to complain that I'm paying thousands of dollars to attend KU and therefore I deserve the royal treatment, though I do think that as a student, I am entitled to functional internet. I would be content with a consistent '5 down 3 up' connection. Especially because I did pay extra—I chose one of MyResNet's upgrades, which advertised up to 20 mbps download and upload.
I know I'm not the only one in this situation. I searched Twitter for opinions and found only thousands of complaints nationwide. I tweed about it and got numerous retweets and favorites. Encountering someone who gets decent speeds is rare (and in my experience, because they were able to purchase the top option). Roughly 3,200 KU students live
in the dorms, and have to deal with this atrocious Internet that Apogee serves.
their website says that their "primary goal has been to provide colleges and universities with the dynamic solutions they require to meet the needs of today's student while remaining competitive in the modern world."
If that's true, they need to start listening to the students and realizing that we have diverse needs. They need to upgrade to actually competitive service. Either that, or the University needs to drop them. That won't happen unless students vocalize their concerns. If you've been dissatisfied with MyResNet like I have, write MyResNet (support@myresnet.com) and KU T1 (itcsc@ku.edu) to demand change.

Involuntary celibacy negatively affects college students
This may not be news to college students, but some people remain sexually inactive through no choice of their own. A desire for sex exists, but no prospects do. There's a term for people who can't get laid: involuntary celibacy, or 'incel'. A longer definition explains: "Involuntary celibacy is chronic near-total or total absence in a person's intimate relationships or sexual intercourse that is occurring for reasons other than voluntary celibacy, asexuality, antisexualism or sexual abstinence." I think we can all remember that person on our floor freshman year that was involuntarily celibate, no matter how hard he or she tried.
By Anrenee Reasor
areasor@kansan.com
But incel is not something to be taken lightly. Newscaster Christine Chubbock committed suicide live on air in 1974, and it was believed that incel was a root reason. As a 30-year-old virgin, shed suffered unrequited crushes and severe depression.
Chubbock's case is rare because most people don't take their own lives, and inceldom usually afflicts men more than women. Just searching the web returns many forums and blogs dedicated to the incel man's plight. After scouring a few, these men range from misogynistic to clueless. A few showed a sense of entitlement; they felt they expected all women to say yes. Others I pitied for the way women had allegedly treated them. Being excessively rude during a rejection just makes it worse. But the most interesting article regarding inceldom was from the Huffington Post. One man pleaded for a governmental program aiding
incel men. Completely implausible and ludicrous, right?
This man suggested the government facilitate a program where women are paid monetarily to date incel men. "Women would freely apply for such program, as would incel men. Every woman would have a limit of 30 dates," the blog explains. "If she doesn't find a suitable partner during those 30 days she will be fired to prevent scammers — however, she would be paid the full sum, as would a woman who finds a partner during one of these 30 dates."
Whether you think this is an excellent or unfathomable idea, it has major flaws. What about gay men or women? It will inevitably attract some women with only financial motivation. How do men feel knowing women are being paid to date them? Would that not lower self-esteem even more? It objectifies women, and forces the government to foot the bill. An outcry over how tax dollars are being spent on partial hookers would ensue. Knowing the government struggles to pay for the current entitlement programs guarantees this won't take shape anytime soon, or ever.
for those of you who would never need the government to pay your date, you might ask,
what causes someone to be incel? Well, posters on the forums say lack of a job, unattractiveness, shyness and/or constant rejection stunts their sex life. Mayo Clinic asserts being incel can be caused by, and contribute to, low self-esteem and severe depression. Victims may also suffer from the inability to approach potential partners and build relationships. When people consistently fail to enter into a relationship, disregarding sex, it can cause some heavy blows to the ego. Unfortunately, society depicts the happy life as one we share intimately with another person. It fails to capitalize how being single can also bring enjoyment.
Luckily, there's a solution to being incel. People CAN reach happiness without sex. Dennis Sugrue, PhD, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan Medical School, asserts that people can actually reach the biochemical effects of sex through masturbation. Reaching orgasm, even through self-stimulation, gives a natural high, can boost your immune system and even help you cope with pain (the pain of being incel).
So, whether you are celibate voluntarily or involuntarily, you still can lead a fulfilling life. Do not act as irrationally as Christine Chubbock did. While it can feel like everyone around us is hooking up, there are plenty who find contentment in other facets of life. Don't get hung up on sex, whether you're having it or not.

Take care of sickness for yourself and others
As I sit in class wiping slimy phlegm off the back of my neck for the fifth time, I can't help but curse my luck. It always seems that no matter where I choose to sit, I always end up in front of the person who has contracted the bubonic plague and proceeds to periodically spray me with a mist of pestilent sludge. Maybe it's because I'm socially awkward, but I try to not do anything that could potentially piss someone off. Cold and flu season is coming, so if we could take care of each other by doing common-courtesy type things, that would be great.
According to the Center for Disease Control, each year, there are more than 1 billion cases of the common cold in the United States. Their most important pieces of advice for dealing with a cold are to stay at home while you are sick, avoid close contact with others and cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. You would think all of those things would be common sense, but apparently not.
Now, I appreciate the fact that people want to be martyrs. I heard someone the other day gloating about how they had pneumonia and had made it anyway. Cool bro, but draw the line somewhere. Take a day off, clearly you need it. Missing one irrelevant lecture is not a big deal. Don't bring other people down with you.
All of that having been said, I'm also sympathetic. I remember when I moved away from home for the first time. It was terrible. Since I was a wee lad I'd always had mommy there to tuck me in, cook me my favorite foods, sing me lullabies and make sure I had my favorite teddy, but when I turned 18 that was all gone. All I had was a roommate and he only tucked me in sometimes, and that was only because I'd passed out drunk (still sweet though). How could I possibly take care of myself? The mere concept was mind-boggling.

The CDC gives some great, albeit well known advice for how to take care of thyself during a cold or flu. They recommend lots of fluids. For a fever, a washcloth on the head helps, and acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help bring it down. For a dry, hacking cough, cough drops should relieve the agony. Ice chips or gargling salt water is sure to help a sore throat. For congestion, it may help to have a humidifier in your room. It keeps moisture in the air to keep things flowing. Make sure that you don't let yourself get dehydrated. I'm pretty sure zinc lozenges can cure the common cold. Of course, there are more extreme cases — I've had times where I could absolutely not stop throwing up and I would just throw up whatever liquids I tried to get down. At that point it's time to go to the hospital. It isn't that bad. You get an IV and a nausea shot and feel better in 5 minutes. It's way better than throwing up 30 times in a night.
Bottom line is, please just take a second to put yourself in the shoes of people who might be affected by your actions. Nobody wants to touch your disease-ridden mitts when you consciously neglect to wash your hands, and I don't know of a single person that enjoys cough juice on their face. Life and class is hard enough this time of year. Take care of yourself and those around you by not getting everyone sick. Stay home and get better. While it may not be as good as mom rubbing your tummy, you can make it through. I believe in you.

Chris Brown released on assault charge in DC court
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Grammy Award-winning R&B singer Chris Brown was freed from custody Monday after facing a judge on a charge that he punched a man who tried to pose in a photograph with him.
Prosecutions reduced a felony assault charge to a misdemeanor as a District of Columbia judge released Brown, who exited the courthouse to cheers and flashed a peace sign to supporters after more than a day and a half in custody. There was scattered applause in the packed courtroom as the judge set the singer free.
Even with the reduced charge, the assault case represents the latest legal trouble for Brown, who remains on probation for assaulting his on-again, off-again girlfriend Rihanna just before the 2009 Grammy Awards.
The 24-year-old singer and his bodyguard, Chris Hollosy, were arrested early Sunday in front of the w Hotel in Washington.
A Maryland man told police he had tried to be part of a picture Brown was taking with a woman and her friend when Brown told him, "I ain't down with that gay
s--t" and "I feel like boxing," according to charging documents in the case. The man, identified by police as Parker Isaac Adams, 20, of Beltsville, Md., said he was punched by both Brown and Hollosy before Brown boarded his tour bus.
Brown denied to police that he punched anyone or had been involved in a confrontation, saying someone had tried to get on his bus "and my bodyguard handled it," according to the documents. Hollosy told police he punched Adams in the face after Adams tried to follow Brown onto the bus and get to Brown, court documents say.
Adams had a broken nose, police wrote in the court documents. Brown's lawyer, Danny Onorato, said outside court Monday that his client committed no crime.
"We understand that his security acted to protect Mr. Brown and Mr. Brown's property as he was authorized to do under District of Columbia law. We are confident that Mr. Brown will be exonerated for any wrongdoing," he said.
Bill Miller, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office, said the reduced charges are based on our current assessment of the
evidence gathered to date." He declined to comment further as the case remained under investigation.
Abraham Luakabuanga of Tysons Corner, Va., who runs a small limousine company, said he saw two women and a man approach Brown after he left the hotel and begin taking photographs of the singer. He said the situation soon devolved into a fight involving Brown and a man who appeared to be his bodyguard. He said he heard words exchanged but declined to give more details.
"I looked at Chris Brown and was like 'Sir, why this?" he said. "To me, it was like, 'You're a star, you have bodyguards.' Things should have been handled differently," Luakabuanga said.
Brown was in Washington to perform Saturday night at an event billed as a "Homecoming Weekend" party at a downtown club. Howard University was celebrating its homecoming, though a university spokeswoman said the party was not sponsored by or affiliated with the school.
Brown is due back in court on Nov. 25. The misdemeanor simple assault charge carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail.

Cemetery exploration far from grave mistake
HALLOWEEN
MADDY MIKINSKI
mmikinski@kansan.com
As my packed Volvo station wagon pulled up to the entrance of Oak Hill cemetery, all seven of us craned to make sure the gates were open. They were, and, in the dark, they were creepy. I drove through the gates and followed the twisting road through the lines of stones and mausoleums. Each was paired with its own fuzzy shadow due to the full moon.
In what looked like a macabre Volvo ad, we all exited the car from every available opening. We got our first unhindered glimpse of the cemetery where wed be spending the next two hours. A couple of us
made the requisite "Supernatural" jokes. "Where's the salt?" "Who has the lighter fluid?" We wanted to be ready.
The graves stretched out in front of us over rolling hills and around bare trees. One of the tombstones belonged to basketball legend Phogg Allen. Countless others memorialized the victims of Quantrill's 1863 attack on Lawrence. We were prepared to meet every single one of them.
Cameras ready, adrenaline pumping, we trekked through the wet grass up our first hill. This put us above everything, looking out at the cemetery below. With the help of the moon we were able to see everything, the entire graveyard and
the lights of Lawrence beyond. The first object of our attention was a large mausoleum.
With the flash of the camera following us, we made our way over. We stood at the large, stone pillars marking the door and dared each other to touch it. One by one, our hands brushed the metal door. We laughed at our audacity. It was an initiation of sorts.
Once initiated, we turned our attention to another mausoleum. This one towered over the rest of the cemetery like a castle. It stood on the edge of the property near the tree line. A few more camera flashes blinded us as we went up to this next building. It was even more massive up close. The stone
walls didn't have any decorations on them, just two arched windows and a matching door.
From the darkness next to the mausoleum came an eldritch chiming. It was borderline frightening, so, of course, we had to go check it out. We went towards the noise, trying not to trample old stones and wilted flowers. I knocked my knee into one of the upright stones. I guess that's what I get for disturbing the peace.
We made it to the charms relatively unscatched so we could make sure it was the wind making the noises and not some horrific ghost bent on killing us all. It was just the wind — that time.
weirded out someone would put wind chimes on their grave, we continued to the rear of the cemetery. The cemetery was less populated in the back, which made room for erie lone graves.
Slightly relieved and even more
Two lonely tombstones sat underneath a leafless tree. A couple of us went to investigate while the rest mused about the inevitable serial killer hiding in the woods. By then the adrenaline had worn off and the cold was getting to us.
We decided to end our freaky night at one final mausoleum. This last one was built into a hill. Grass-covered earth was lumped up so only an entranceway was visible. We climbed up to the top of the hill and set down a blanket.
The timer was set for five minutes. As a finale we sat in a circle in complete silence, just in case any wayward spirit wanted to send us a secret message or pose for a picture. I watched a plane cross the moon and listened to the dogs barking. Wind rustled the leaves and I started daydreaming about the food I was going to get afterwards. (Cemetery stalking is hungry work.)
When the timer went off (Bach's "Toccata and Fugue"), we packed up our cameras and hesitantly returned to the world of the living.

OPINION
College halloween proves more fun, over-the-top
By Dani Brady
dbrady@kansan.com
For each year we get older, Halloween becomes longer, more outrageous, and in my opinion, entirely more fun. We have matured into college students, who find any excuse to dress like hookers, get wasted and party for consecutive nights. And that's why Halloween is bigger than the Super Bowl for most students.
College has turned what was once a holiday filled with traditional pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating into a week of shenanigans.
As kids, we looked forward to a classroom Halloween party with snacks and games before we returned home to go trick-or-treating with our neighborhood friends before it got dark. Collecting enough candy to rot our teeth out of our face was our biggest concern, and we had one costume that usually consisted of our favorite Disney princess or superhero.
1
First, it doesn't matter what night Halloween falls on; in college, Halloween lasts multiple nights. This year we are blessed to have Halloween fall on a Thursday. People will be partying all week: the Saturday before Halloween until the Saturday after. Good luck, my friends.
College is also a time when most
When we got to college, all of that changed.
In high school, we prayed that Hallowen fell on a Friday or Saturday because we couldn't get wild at a basement party on a school night. We got excited to dress up for one night and stay out later than usual at a house that was parent free for the weekend. The following week at school, everyone would gossip about what they did, whose house got "egged" and who got in trouble for throwing a party or coming home too drunk. Halloween parties in high school weren't too different from the normal weekends that we hid the beer from our parents and lied about parents supervising a party.
of us are finding ourselves. Perhaps we can cite this as the reason that most college girls find it OK to dress like hookers. All costumes are made provocative with the word sexy thrown in front, e.g. sexy cop, sexy sailor, sexy nurse; the list goes on. Other girls will dress in group costumes with their roommates or couple costumes with their serious boyfriend of two months. For guys, it's usually the tool with his shirt off or the class clown dressed as a crude stereotype.
Besides allowing the celebration to last as long as Hanukkah and dressing more provocatively than necessary, for college students, Halloween is about getting drunk and acting ridiculously.
You have four years before this behavior is no longer appropriate, so take advantage of this special time, drink (kind of) responsibly and make great memories even if you may not remember them. Happy Halloween!

Top scary picks evoke festive Halloween spirit
S
Since it's Halloween week, it' s time to marathon those scary TV shows or movies to get in the mood for the holiday. Some are suspenseful, some remind you of childhood and some are just plain frightening. Here are my go-to Halloween picks:
13. "THE TWILIGHT ZONE"
12. "THE WOMAN IN BLACK"
11. "MAMA"
10. "CASE 39"
9. "THE WALKING DEAD"
7. "PARANORMAL ACTIVITY"
(Yes, the entire series)
8. "6 SOULS"
6. "SAW"
(Again, the entire series)
5. "AMERICAN HORROR STORY"
4. "CHILDREN OF THE CORN"
3. "IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN"
Growing up in a "Peanuts" household, it was a tradition to sort my candy and watch this
By Kaitlyn Hilgers

Charlie Brown classic. Therefore, whenever Halloween comes around, I always get the urge to dust off the VHS player and pop in this special. If you are looking for something cute, fun and not at all scary, the Peanuts gang can help you out.
I will not forgive you. You are a slayer. You have done something that is horrible. You have caused me pain. You have ruined my life. You have destroyed my dreams. You have caused me to lose my best friend. You have caused me to suffer from mental illness. You have caused me to feel alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone. You have caused me to be alone.
2. "ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS"
This television series makes it into my top three mostly because of the wide variety that comes with watching the series. It has everything from thrillers, drama, suspense, and mysteries, but no matter what genre, the episodes always keep you on the edge of your seat. For the cherry on top, Alfred Hitchcock introduces each short in his chilling voice, usually with a little joke to add a break from the suspense. It really is perfection in every sense of the word.
To me, the scariest movies are the ones that are closest to reality. Therefore, "Silent House" tops
1. "SILENT HOUSE"
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, OPEN ROAD FILMS, LD ENTERTAINMENT
my list, mostly because of the fact that it appears to be shot in one continuous take. Not only that, but this film doesn't rely on ghosts or
vampires for its scares, but instead focuses on sexual abuse, paranoia and psychosis. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it.

Rock legend Lou Reed dies at 71
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The stare from across a desk was enough for me to question whether my first and only interview with Lou Reed had been a good idea.
He'd already curtly dismissed a publicist who had dreamed for years of meeting his musical hero. Now Reed seemed to be debating whether my admitted sin — I wasn't a native New Yorker — was worth overlooking to get some business done.
Yes, Reed, who died Sunday at age 71 of liver disease related to a recent transplant, wasn't an easy man. New York isn't an easy town. Few artists reflected a city better than he did, and he found it an endless source of inspiration. The 2003 retrospective package we talked about claimed that status as a title "NYC Man."
As a member of the Velvet Underground and later as a solo artist, Reed chronicled the rough side of a city at a time when it wasn't so hidden from view. Transvestites, drug addicts and prostitutes found a place in his music. Behind a loping bass line, the cinematic
yrics of "Walk on the Wild Side' brought that world to others. For many musicians, their best-known songs aren't necessarily representative of their work. That wasn't the case with Reed.
Many of his most popular songs, like "Sweet Jane," "Rock and Roll" and "Heroin," dated from the period of the late 1960s into the 1970s with the Velvets and soon after they broke up.
The frequently challenging subject matter didn't lend itself to mass success and, "Walk on the Wild Side" excepted, Reed didn't achieve it. His singing voice didn't help, either; Reed had limited range and sang in a conversational style.
The Velvet Underground didn't sniff the top of the charts when alive, giving rise to a famous quote from producer and Roxy Music founder Brian Eno, who suggested that every one of the few people who bought their records, himself included, later started bands.
Many paid off their debts in tribute. U2 covered Reed's "Satellite of Love," the Cowboy junkies did "Sweet Jane" and R.E.M. frequently performed "Pale Blue Eyes." His song "Perfect Day" had an extensive
life, too.
Reed was an avant-garde artist who wore the black leather of a rocker and played a cutting guitar. Reed and his wife, performance artist Laurie Anderson, were a First Couple of an artistic scene that thrived on taking risks. Sometimes the risks didn't work — his last big project, the 2011 collaboration with Metallica called "Lulu," was widely seen as a clamorous mess — but very few people succeed at everything.
He was dismissive in our interview when asked what he hoped people would say about his work when he was gone.
"I don't give a (expletive)," he said. "Who knows or cares?
"I don't expect anything at all from anything and I never have," he said. "I'm not trying to change anybody's mind about anything. I'm not trying to win anybody over. I'm happy to get up in the morning. I can tie my shoelaces. I haven't got hit by a car. I just love the music and sound and wanted to make it better, so if someone else wanted to hear it, they'd get some bang for the buck."
The people who cared about his
music always knew there was a heart beating strong beneath that gruff exterior. The wild side was hard to miss, but the tenderness of a "Pale Blue Eyes" is hard to forget, the regretful young man singing that he "thought of you as everything I've had but couldn't keep."
Reed's 1989 album, "New York," was a rocking, superbly written chronicle of a city in the midst of a crack epidemic, before it was later cleaned up.
On his song, "Dirty Blvd.", Reed details a scene of hustlers and hopelessness and those hookers again, zeroing in on Pedro, who escapes into his own dreams of transcending his environment with the help of a book of magic plucked from a garbage can.
Throughout the depressing scene he paints, Reed's voice is a monotone dripping in cynicism
— until he gets to Pedro, where it lifts up a few notes, as if he can lift Pedro above the world he's living in to a better place. It's a moment of exquisite beauty.
Fly, fly away, Pedro.
You, too, Lou.

COMMENTARY
Exhibition important for bench players
By Ben Ashworth
bashworth@kansan.com
Kansas basketball has a problem. It's a problem any head coach would want to have, but a problem notogeless.
Coach Bill Self will have two or three top 100 recruits who will rarely see the court. The exhibition games will determine which players become key contributors and which players will need to wait their turns.
Self typically prefers a tight rotation. Last year, he implemented a seven-man rotation, with a smattering of Jamari Traylor every now and then. The 2008 championship year was the same, with Cole Aldrich playing the role of occasionally-used eighth man. Even outside of these years, Self rarely plays more than eight players after January or February.
This year, Self has twelve players who would be in the rotation of almost every other Division I team. Self likes to play four bigs, with the fourth big logging between five and ten minutes a game. Landen Lucas and Traylor will be fighting for those limited minutes.
The backcourt is even more congested.
In a perfect world, all of these players would accept their roles and see the big picture. Travis Releford and Jeff Withey did it, and became two-year starters on two successful Kansas teams during their junior and senior years.
Last year, Self played a four-man rotation in the backcourt, with Nadir Tharpe playing starter's minutes coming off the bench. Now, Self has seven players vying for minutes. Tharpe, Wayne Selden and Andrew Wiggins are the clear starters. That leaves Conner Frankamp, Andrew White, Frank Mason, and Brannten Green to compete for the rotation. Even if Self increases his backcourt rotation by one player, that's still two players that will end up disappointed.
However, it's not a perfect world. It's a world where players want to play. They want to contribute to wins, not watch them. And who can blame them? These are players who were the faces of their high school teams.
Exhibition games are generally meaningless. However, to White, Greene, Frankamp and Mason, their performances in these games could be the difference between role player and cheerleader. And that instantly makes these games worth watching.
Edited by Heather Nelson
Frankamp is the local guy who never found a shot he didn't like. By the time he is done at Kansas, he could threaten Jeff Boschee's three-point record. White is the elder statesman of the group. He put on muscle this summer and improved his defense in an effort to increase his minutes. Like Frankamp, he is a threat from behind the three-point line.
Do you see the dilemma here?
Self needs to pick two of these players to get minutes. He may need to put a redshirt on one of them.
Meanwhile, Mason is a prototypical Self recruit. He is a hard-nosed, heady player who is the most qualified to play the back-up point guard role. His toughness makes it tough to keep him on the bench. Greene is a big-time scorer who might have been penciled in for the starting small forward spot before the Wiggins commitment.

MINUTE MEN
Bill Self still unsure of where players fall
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Bill Self hasn't made up his mind.
The Kansas coach has only seen his team play against each other, and there's only so much a coach can take from that. Of course, this is why you schedule exhibition games.
It's not that Self hasn't figured out who he wants playing, it's that he can't decide who won't be.
"I thought initially we'd redhair at least one." Self said at his Monday press conference. "I'm not even sure about that right now, I really don't have a feel."
A redshirt is not a demotion. At least not to Self, who has referred to Travis Releford's sophomore season on the bench as one of the best things that happened to him at Kansas.
It's a very plain problem: minutes can only be split in so many ways.
Against Pitt State, Self will have his first chance to see where everyone fits in a game situation – and how many minutes they'll likely be playing.
Self said that while many guys are getting into the rotation in practice, it hasn't made the division of playing time in games any easier to figure out
"We do have some good freshmen and they need to figure it out," Self said. "Hopefully we can get everybody a little bit of a chance to play in the exhibitions. But also the guys we feel like will be playing the majority of the minutes are so young, they need to play, too, so it's not going to be equal opportunity by any stretch."
- save for the starting lineup of
Naadir Tharpe, Perry Ellis, Tarik
Black, Wayne Selden and Andrew
Wiggins.
"Everybody thinks they're playing," Self said. "The second team or whoever, they think they're getting a lot of burn because they're always out there in practice. Now you eliminate 50 percent of that."
For guys like Frank Mason, the change creates a role-defining adjustment.
Self said that while Mason has
proven he can last in a two and a half hour practice, he'll likely see up to four minutes at a time during games. Self wants the energy Mason can provide, even if it's just for a short span.
For Mason, it's a relatively easy transition, considering he won't change a thing.
Like Kevin Young did last year, Self is looking for the spark off the bench when things become stale.
"The role I have in practice is the same role I have in a game," Mason said. "That's how I approach it." And if there was any confusion, Wiggins minutes aren't up for discussion.
"We can play our freshenin in the exhibition games and decide after the exhibition games if we'll redshirt," Self said, "Just FYI, Wiggins will not redshirt, in case you were worried about that."

New technology gives accurate concussion diagnosis
10
JACKSON LONG
ilong@kansan.com
University of Kansas running back Tony Pierson weaved through the Texas Tech defense for a 39-yard gain in a loss earlier this month at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence.
It was one of the Jayhawk's bright spots on offense that day, but at the end of the highlight run, Pierson was hit and landed on part of the track, resulting in a serious head injury.
MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN
Running back Tony Pierson on the sideline after receiving a concussion during the game against Texas Tech on Oct. 5.
The diagnosis was a serious concussion, and that Pierson would likely miss "substantial time," coach Charlie Weis said. The event came at a time where both college and professional football become more sensitive to brain injuries.
"You teach the proper form of tackling and ball carriers not to lead with their face when they have the ball to prevent concussions," Weis said. "Really, one of the most important things is how you handle them once you have them."
Weis said that in all concussion situations his staff chooses to be cautious. The University also requires a passing grade on a cognitive test and a subjective check up by the medical and coaching staffs.
While high school programs are
equally aware of head trauma, they don't have the same resources as college and professional teams.
"Being diligent about reminding players not to lead with their head seems to really help," Bouchard said. "We also almost never go to the ground anymore (in practice). The ground is not very forgiving to the head when it slams against it, so that has helped a lot too."
Staley High School football coach Fred Bouchard goes through a number of measures to reduce the risk of his players' concussions.
An additional measure is pre-testing for cognitive levels. The state of Kansas now requires all athletes to undergo pre-sport neuro-psych testing, according to Dr. Pam Shaw, a professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Shaw said the testing allows coaches and trainers to monitor and compare scores from the pre-test at the normal state, and an athlete's condition after suffering a concussion.
the Riddell Speed Revolution and Riddell 360 models. However, Bouchard said he was interested in Bill Simpson's new technology and that he would be purchasing a few of his new helmets for next season.
While testing can track the condition of a concussion, a primary goal is research in technology that can help prevent the injury. Bouchard said he keeps his equipment room stocked with the latest helmet technology to achieve the best results. Staley currently uses
Simpson is a pioneer in NASCAR racing safety. His new technology boasts a football helmet that is half the weight and twice the protection of current models. The decrease in weight and increase in protection would provide substantial improvements to head-injury prevention in high school football and possibly a revolution to football.
During practice and games, Bouchard's players are instructed to watch for signs of concussions.
"In terms of self-diagnosing, a rule of thumb is if someone is 'seeing stars or dinged' they should see immediately improvement within five seconds or they should be reporting it to a coach or teammate," Bouchard said. "We also ask our players to also watch out for a player who is acting out of sorts, too."
After an athlete gets a concussion, the process of getting back onto the field begins. Shaw said the University's detailed procedure begins with cognitive rest that allows the brain to focus on healing. The
next step is returning to school full time followed by light exercise. This does not include weight-lifting or strong physical exertion. Running without a helmet follows, and then non-contact drills in full equipment are allowed. With the approval of a trainer, the final steps are full practice and game competition. Each step is one-to-two days in duration.
Though Bouchard said he has seen an increase in concussions, he credits that rising number to a more diligent approach to handling the injury.
"An increased awareness leads to us being more diligent," Bouchard said. "Ten years ago, if a kid grabs his head we wait and ask them in a few moments if they're okay. Today, we tell them to immediately take their helmet off and see the trainer."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"A lot of people are saying he's the best player in college basketball. I'm saying how can you be the best player if it's something you haven't even played in?"
-Marcus Smart of Oklahoma State
FACT OF THE DAY
Wiggins has a brother named Nick who plays at Wichita State.
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
THE MORNING BREW Camping for exhibition game may be a stretch
---
Q. Where did Wiggins attend high school in the U.S.?
A: Huntington Prep W.V.
Can someone please explain to me why I was up at 5 a.m. yesterday to go sit in Allen Fieldhouse for an hour? The sun was not up, nor were my Eggo waffles warm, but I still got up to put my butt in a line to cram into the Fieldhouse. Who knew that an 18-year-old kid from Canada would make a whole school go boy band crazy.
Back to the original point: camping for an exhibition game. I may be a sophomore, who is still learning the ropes a bit. But last year for an exhibition game, you could walk in shortly before game time and get a half-decent seat. Yet yesterday, close to 2,000 fans showed up to lottery to run the chance of getting awesome seats to see Pittsburgh State play. When I say Pitt State, though, I really mean

ballen@kansan.com
Andrew Wiggins. And when I say Andrew Wiggins, I really mean watch him play a few minutes, and then watch Tyler Self and Niko Roberts attempt to get the ball up the court. I would completely understand camping
for a Wichita State game, or maybe some other big feeder town school, but Pitt State seems like a stretch for me.
The underlying message is that we are putting a lot on Wiggins. I mean, the kid hasn't even put on a jersey yet, but that is what the media is telling us, so we don't get our hopes up if he isn't LeBron James. Don't get it twisted; the kid has freak athletic talent.
THE BREW
No one showed up last year to watch Ben McLemore play in a exhibition game, or to see Jeff Withey crush some unsuspecting
low.Division I point guard in front of his parents.
We will be sitting in the Fieldhouse on a Tuesday night, with classes in the morning, to watch a team we didn't know had a basketball program take on Wilt — I mean Andrew Wiggins.
You ask any sorority girl, any high school jock, or even your math teaching assistant what (or who) they are going to go see tonight. They are going to say, the 18-year old Canadian superstar, Mr. Winning.
18-year-old Canadian superstar, Mr.
Andrew Christian Wiggins.

Men place 4th at UTEP invitational
bburch@kansan.com
BEN BURCH
The Kansas men's golf team finished the fall season on a positive note at the UTEP Price's Give 'Em Five Invitational last Friday and Saturday with a three-round total of 854 (-10).
This was their best team score of the year, and put them in fourth place out of the 15-team field. According to coach Jamie Bermel, the team still has not reached its potential, but this tournament was a step in the right direction as they enter winter training.
"I thought we played pretty solid from top to bottom," Bermel said. "We're still not where we want to be, but were certainly making progress."
Sophomore Ben Welle led the team in scoring with a final score of 209 (-7), which tied him for sixth place individually. Sophomore Logan Phillie also had a solid tournament, tying for 16th, his first time finishing in the top 20 this season, with a 214 (-2).
had good tournaments so I'm sure they'll feel good about the finish they had," Bermel said. "Hopefully this tournament will give them some confidence entering the winter."
Logan Philley and Ben Welle
Because most of the players on the team are new to Division I golf, Bermel attributes the team's steady improvement to the experience the players gain after each tournament.
"It's just one more tournament under our belts with these new kids," Bermel said. "We're trying to get more and more comfortable out there and get more and more experience with every tournament."
Although they will not play in any more tournaments until spring, the Jayhawks will still be working hard until then.
"There are several guys that need to get stronger... so if the winter goes right, hopefully they can put on seven to ten pounds of muscle," Bermel said. "We're still not where we want to be yet, but hopefully we can have a good winter so we can be in a good spot when spring starts."

McIlroy beats Woods in exhibition
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAIKOU, China — Rory McIlroy won for the first time this year even if it was an 18-hole exhibition against Tiger Woods.
Mellroy made four birdies and an eagle over the last seven holes at Mission Hills for a 6-under 67, giving him a one-shot win over Woods. It was the second straight year Mellroy has defeated Woods at the medal match in China.
"I would like to play all my tournaments in China where I can beat Tiger, "Mellroy said.
Even an unofficial win has to count for something. McIlroy beat him last year at Jinsha Lake under far different circumstances. McIlroy was a major champion, No.1 in the world and on his way to sweeping all the important awards. He signed a lucrative deal with Nike a short time later, and this season has been a struggle. McIlroy has had only one reasonable chance to win a tournament, and he didn't even qualify for the Tour Championship on the PGA Tour.
He is using a new driver and a
softer golf ball, even prompting Woods to say to him after one chip,
"How did you do that?"
The banter was free and easy, mostly about equipment. Woods was trying to recover from a virus he picked up from his daughter, and spent most of the afternoon asking his caddie for cough drops.
AUGUST 23
The golf was spectacular over the final hour on the Blackstone Course, however.
Woods had a one-shot lead and hit a marvelous approach to 10 feet on the par-5 12th. McIlroy followed with a long iron into 5 feet, both made eagle. They both made birdie on the 13th, and McIlroy caught him with a 6-foot birdie on the 14th.
Tiger Woods, center, and Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, left of Woods, are surrounded by Chinese golf fans during an exhibition match in Haikou, in southern China's island province Hainan, Monday.
They birdied the 16th to reach 5-under, and the match turned on the next hole. Woods came up short on his approach to the 17th, and after nearly flying his pitch into the cup, he missed a 5-foot parut putt. Woods had a 20-foot eagle putt on the 18th for the tie. He missed, and McIlroy knocked in his 3-foot birdie.
Woods could hardly raise his
voice after the round.
"I don't sound all that well now, but it was nice that it was warm out there today," Woods said. "That certainly helped because I think my fever broke and I can start feeling a bit better. But I tell you what, when you have kids, they bring home some strong bugs, and this one has definitely been kicking my butt for the last couple of days."
Mellroy was headed back to Shanghai for the HSBC Champions. Woods is skipping the World Golf Championship, and will play next week in the Turkish Open.
"I've seen a lot of promising signs over the past few weeks in practice and also in competitive play," McLloy said. "I still have four tournaments left until the end of the season and I would love to finish 2013 strongly and give a little bit of momentum going into next season. But I think as I showed out there, I'm hitting the ball well.
"If I can just get the putter going a little bit more, then in these last four tournaments I can hope to contend and maybe pick up a win or two."

Texas coach Mack Brown sees potential in Weis
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
With a 3-16 record at Kansas, coach Charlie Weis is faced with the task of changing the losing mentality of an entire program.
There have been 25 straight losses in the Big 12 and 21 consecutive losses on the road for Kansas as it prepares for the game at Texas on Saturday. None of the current players have played in either a conference or road win at Kansas.
Texas coach Mack Brown is yet to have a losing season with the Longhorns and has been to two national championship games, including a title win in 2005. But Brown has been where Weis is now.
As North Carolina's coach over two decades ago, Brown had back-to-back 1-10 seasons. But Brown eventually helped bring the Tar Heels to five straight bowl games and took the Texas job after a 10-1 season at North Carolina.
Brown has experience transforming the mentality of a program that is struggling.
"You start looking at different things that you can improve," Brown said in a Big 12 teleconference on Monday. "Each week we would look at, 'Did we run the ball better? Did we do these things?' And knew that if we continued to improve in each area, that at some point the win was coming."
At the moment, Weis is focusing much of his attention on improving the offensive output, as his team is scoring 17.7 points per game, ranking 116th in the NCAA.
"That is the main area of concern from my standpoint," Weis said, following Brown on the teleconference.
Weis has made more personnel changes to the offensive line than at any other point in his coaching career. He has finally found a unit that he and offensive line coach Tim Grunhard like enough to consistently put on the field together and can improve together.
He has switched starting wide receivers and tight ends, before going back to the original starters.
Weis has now begun splitting drives at quarterback between starter junior Jake Heaps and freshman Montell Cozart.
But some areas have improved in the year and a half that Weis has been coach of the Jayhawks.
"I think our defense has played solid all year long for the most part," Weis said.
The Jayhawks have not yet escaped the mentality that comes with losing so many games.
"We had two games get away from us, Baylor and Texas Tech. The rest of the games have all been close into the fourth quarter," Weis said.
Last season at Memorial Stadium, Kansas had Texas on the verge of defeat with two minutes left in the fourth quarter before quarterback
Case McCoy drove the Longhorns down the field for the winning touchdown.
Irieaps, who was sitting out due to transfer rules, said earlier this season that in that 21-17 Texas loss, the attitude on the Kansas sideline was that of a team that believed they had already won the game.
That attitude comes with the inexperience of winning conference games.
Brown believes that Weis will eventually succeed in making Kansas a winning football program.
"Charlie is a great football coach, not a good football coach," Brown said. "Kansas is really lucky to have him, and just watching last year what he and Dave Campo did with that team and see that they are continuing to do that. They are going to get it done, I just hope it's not this weekend."

against Texas Tech it flourished

per cent].
While losing its fullback, Trey Millard, after the game, Oklahoma was able to squeeze out a win by turning to their running game later on. Damien Williams led the way with 97 yards on 19 carries including a crucial touchdown run early in the fourth quarter that put Oklahoma up by 11.
The Millard loss will be tough for Oklahoma, who already have lost
two playmakers on defense.
"We'll miss him everywhere, he gives so many different dimensions on offense," coach Bob Stoops said in the weekly Big 12 teleconference.
While the running game drove the game, quarterback Blake Bell's development continues to evolve.
Bell had one crucial drive that helped the Sooners pick up steam offensively. Tied at seven, and with both offenses struggling to get past the defense, Bell had a noteworthy drive where he completed five of seven passes. He went for 79 yards finishing off a 16-play, 97-yard drive that spanned more than seven minutes.
Oklahoma is off this week as it prepares for a showdown with No.
5 Baylor next Thursday.
KANSAS STATE QUARTERBACK SITUATION STILL IN QUESTION
STORIATION SIZE IN QUOTER Kansas State had mixed results from their quarterback until Jake Watters dazzled in the fourth quarter against West Virginia on Saturday turning a 14-12 game into a 23-point win.
Waters, who led the 21-point fourth quarter, had his best game of the season, in a near-perfect performance going 10-of-13 for 198 yards with three touchdown passes.
While Waters was the star, quarterback Daniel Sams was no slouch either. He went 8-for-8 with 93 yards and a touchdown.
The duo also handled their
business on the ground, combining for 81 yards on 24 carries.
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder still worries, however, about their tendencies to turn the ball over. Limiting turnovers is still a work in progress, as Sams and Waters each fumbled once Saturday.
"They did do some good things over the course of the ballgame, turnovers still are a major issue with us, one of several major issues we have on both sides of the ball," Snyder said.
GAME OF THE WEEK IN BIG 12
As the Big 12 race becomes more constricted, the games become more meaningful. The showdown between Texas Tech
and Oklahoma State will likely keep one team in the Big 12 race and eliminate the other.
Oklahoma State and Texas Tech both have one conference loss, and with only 6 weeks left in the season, the games hold a different meeting.
Texas and Baylor currently top the conference with undefeated conference records.
The next pack of the group, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Texas Tech each have one conference loss. The Red Raiders and Cowboys duel will make that race even tighter.
Texas Tech is coming off an emotional loss to Oklahoma, which saw a 24-21 lead evaporate when Oklahoma scored a
touchdown in late in the third. The Raiders took a 28-24 lead and won the game 38-30.
Oklahoma State, meanwhile, is coming off a comfortable win over Iowa State. The Cowboys look to capture another win in Lubbock.
"It's going to be a battle I think from this point on in our league most of every game that is played will be quality football games," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said in the weekly Big 12 teleconference.

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks are 29-2 in exhibition games under Self, Kansas has won all five home exhibition games it has played against Pittsburgh State. In two exhibition games last season, the Jayhawks won by a combined average of 23 points. Kansas started off last season with a 34-point win over Emporia State at home.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Naadir Tharpe, junior guard
While all eyes will be on Wiggins in his first collegiate action, the junior point guard will be the Jayhawks' most important player this season as the team's vocal leader and most experienced backcourt player. With shaky point guard play last season, Tharpe will look to add stability to one of the game's most important positions.
A. R. CLEWIS
Which bench players will impress as Self looks to shape his rotation?
QUESTION MARK
In a game in which the bench players will receive substantial minutes, several bench players will look to solidify a spot in the rotation. Joel Embid, Jamari Traylor, Landen Lucas and Andrew White will be locks, but the backcourt is unclear with Brannen Greene, Frank Mason and Conner Frankamp competing for minutes.

Tharpe will have the responsibility of spreading the ball around to Kansas' many weapons while also being counted on to provide leadership to a team that lost all five starters from last season. With no true point guard on the team last season, Tharpe stepped into that role and averaged almost 20 minutes off the bench. He ranked third in the Big 12 with a 2.22 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Perhaps overshadowed by Andrew Wiggins, Selden has a similar skill-set in that he is an athletic player capable of driving the ball and shooting the long-range jump shot.

★★☆★★
In high school Branch averaged 24 points per game, but hasn't done much since. He spent two seasons in junior college before making the jump to the University of Oregon. Now at Pitt State, he's expected to see a large portion of playing time.
The undisputed top player in his recruiting class and preseason National Freshman of the Year, Wiggins has an explosive first step and a knack for scoring and rebounding. Also a McDonald's All-American, Wiggins averaged 23.4 points and 11.2 rebounds for Huntington Prep high school his senior season. At 6-foot-8 with a 7-foot wingspan, Wiggins will be a matchup nightmare for opponents with his height and quickness.
Devon Branch, Guard
★★★★★
Perry Ellis, Forward
Aside from Tharpe, Ellis came off the bench and played more minutes than any returner, averaging 13.6 minutes per game last season. Ellis started the season off slow but came on strong toward the end after being named to the All-Tournament team at the Big 12 tournament, where he scored double-digits in back-to-back games for the first time all season. Coach Bill Self said he has the potential to lead the team in scoring this year.
Named the preseason Big 12 newcomer of the year, Black played three seasons for the Memphis Tigers and averaged nearly ten points and five rebounds per game in 23 minutes. After graduating from Memphis in the spring, Black can play immediately in his final year of eligibility. At 6-foot-9 and 260 pounds, the senior forward/center has a strong presence in the paint. Self said he is one of the team's biggest leaders despite this being his first year in the program.

An untested freshman, Gustafson will make his collegiate debut in Allen Fieldhouse. As a prep star in Omaha, Neb., he averaged 21.9 points, 12.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists. This six-foot-5, 190-pound athlete provides a versatile tool for coach Kevin Muff to toy with.
★★★☆★★

Eaddy
Eaddy's stats don't peg him as a starter (2.3 points, 2 rebounds per game in 2012-13), but his value as a senior can't be overlooked. He spent two years in junior college before coming to Pitt State last season. Coach Muff is hoping the transition period is over for his New York-bred player.

Another freshman who managed to crack the starting lineup, Gregory looks to be the main presence in the paint for Pitt State.

Pitt State picked up three forwards during the recruiting period but inexperience throughout the lineup may slow the Gorillas down after a down year last season. Pitt State returns just two players with starting experience from it's 2012-2013 team that finished eighth in the MIAA and 18-10 overall.

Seahawks rout Rams to gain 7-1 record
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The Seattle Seahawks completed a lousy night for St. Louis sports fans.
14
St. Louis Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin (11) gets tackled by Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner (39) during the first half of an NFL football game Monday in St. Louis.
Russell Wilson threw two touchdown passes to Golden Tate, and the Seahawks made a dramatic goal-line stand in the final minute to preserve a 14-9 victory over the Rams on Monday night — less than an hour after the Cardinals lost to the Red Sox in the World Series just up the street.
They managed to pin St. Louis at its own 3-yard line, but Kellen Clemens — starting at quarterback in place of the injured Sam Bradford — calmly marched the Rams (3-5) to the Seattle 1 as time wound down. Daryl Richardson was stuffed on third down, and Clemens threw a fade pass incomplete in the corner of the end zone on fourth down as time expired.
up his head.
The Seahawks (7-1), riding the best start in franchise history, were clinging to the lead when they were forced to punt with just over 5 minutes left in the game.
"The defense did a tremendous job, coming up with a huge stop there," Wilson said.
The Seahawks won despite gaining just 135 yards of total offense, 80 of it on Wilson's second TD pass to Tate, the third-fewest yards in a victory in franchise history.
Wilson was sacked a career-high seven times by the Rams defense
"The defensive line, they were making plays," Wilson said. "We have to find a way to slow them down."
The World Series no doubt contributed to the stale atmosphere inside the Edward Jones Dome, where the announced crowd of 55,966 was in reality much smaller. Many of the fans who did show up wore Cardinals gear, and World Series highlights were shown on the big screen.
Clemens finished with 158 yards passing for the Rams, but he also threw two interceptions, one of them to Richard Sherman. Zac Stacy ran for a career-high 134 yards.
Greg Zuerlein staked St. Louis to an early lead with his first of three field goals, but Sherman's pick put the Seahawks in business. Seattle took advantage of his fourth interception of the season by scoring six players later, when Wilson hit Tate from the 2-yard line.
The Red Sox polished off their 3-1 victory in Game 5 just before the Rams embarked on their final drive — one that would ultimately leave the hometown crowd even more depressed.
"It's not always going to be pretty," Sherman said. "You have to be able to win ugly."
largely thanks to their defense, which took advantage of the Seahawks missing starting offensive tackles Russell Okung and Breno Giacomini due to injuries. Robert Quinn had three sacks in the first half for St. Louis.
50-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. That proved to be key because the Rams would have needed just another field goal from him on their final drive, rather than a touchdown, to steal the win.
Zuerlein got the Rams within 7-6 late in the third quarter, but the Seahawks answered.
Two plays later, Wilson went deep down the sideline to Tate, who made an acrobatic leaping catch over Janioris Jenkins. Tate regained his balance and then mockingly waved at safety Rodney McLeod as he ran to the end zone, earning an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
The Rams stayed in the game
Seattle had minus-1 yard of offense in the first quarter, and 38 yards at the half, its fewest since gaining 37 in the first half against Kansas City in 1998, according to STATS LLC.

The Boston Red Sox celebrate after defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 of baseball's World Series Monday in St. Louis. The Red Sox won 3-1 to take a 3-2 lead in the series.
Red Sox hang on to gain series lead
ST. LOUISE — Jon Lester pitched the Boston Red Sox within a whisker of yet another World Series championship.
Lester bested Adam Wainwright once again, journeyman David Ross hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning and the Red Sox downed the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 Monday night to take a 3-2 Series edge.
David Ortiz delivered his latest big hit, too, sending this bearded band of Red Sox back to Fenway Park with a chance to clinch their third crown in a decade. Not since 1918 has Boston won the title at its own ballpark.
This atmosphere here, these three games, has been phenomenal. We know it's going to be equal to that, if not better. And we're excited about going home in the position we are," he said.
"The fact is we're going home," manager John Farrell said. "Going back to a place that our guys love to play in, in front of our fans."
John Lackey gets the first chance to win it Wednesday night against St. Louis rookie sensation Michael Wacha. A Cardinals victory would
Ortiz enjoyed even more success in Game 5 after moving up from cleanup to the third slot. He is 11 for 15 .733) in this Series with two homers, six RBIs and four walks. He left after legging out a hit, and Farrell said the slugger is OK.
"I think the biggest thing is me and Rosy have had a good rhythm," Lester said. "Early on, we just went back to our game plan from Game 1 and just fell back on that and really just tried to make them swing the bats early, and we were able to do that."
set up a most spooky proposition for both teams — Game 7 on Halloween night.
The lefty who's won all three of his career World Series starts had just one scary inning, when Matt Holliday homered in the fourth, Carlos Beltran flied out to the wall and Yadier Molina hit a liner. Other than that, Lester was sharp as a knife.
Lester enhanced his reputation as an October ace with every pitch. He allowed one run and four hits in 7 2-3 innings, striking out seven without a walk. Nearly the same line he had in beating Wainwright in the opener.
"He's just a stud," said Ross, the
Lester's biggest brush with major trouble came well before his first pitch. He was getting loose near the warning track when a team of eight Clydesdales pulling a beer wagon came trotting by — it's a Busch Stadium tradition and Lester stood aside to watch the horses.
backup catcher who gets paired with Lester. "We rely on him. That's why he's the ace of our staff, because he goes out and pitches like that."
Koji Uehara got four outs for his second save. No crazy endings this time, either, following one night with an obstruction call and the next with Uehara's game-finishing pickoff.
The Cardinals went quickly in the ninth, and now need two wins in Boston. They overcame a 3-2 deficit at home to beat Texas for the 2011 title.
"The guys know what we have to do," manager Mike Matheny said. "We have to play the game. They have to lock arms, trust each other and play the game the right way. Most of it is going to be the mentality of not buying into any kind of stats, any kind of predictions, any kind of odds. And go out and play the game."
Sedin secures close victory for Canucks over Capitals
NHL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Daniel Sedin scored the game-winner in the third period and added an assist as the Vancouver Canucks beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 on Monday night.
Zack Kassian and Ryan Kesler also scored for Vancouver, which played at Rogers Arena for the first time since Oct. 12 after a seven-game trip. Henrik Sedin added an assist to extend his point streak to nine games.
Jason Chimera, with a goal and an assist, and Mikhail Grabovski scored for Washington, which got 38 saves from Michal Neuvirth.
After the teams traded goals early in the third period, Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin played keepaway in the Washington zone to give Vancouver the lead for good. Daniel Sedin finished the sequence off by faking a pass at the top of the slot and blasting a shot past Neuvirth at 5:01 to make it 3-2.
The final period started well for Washington, with Grabovski beating Luongo on the glove side at 1:52 to give the Capitals their first attack at 2-1.
Canucks coach John Tortorella has been leaning heavily on his top line of the Sedins and Kesler, and they responded for Vancouver shortly after with the latter slapping a puck past Neuvirth just 61 seconds later.
Roberto Luongo made 17 saves as the Canucks won their fourth straight.
After Daniel Sedin gave Vancouver the 3-2 lead, Neurivir stopped Canucks forward Mike Santorelli on a power play to keep Washington within striking distance.
But the Capitals didn't threaten late in a game that saw them get outshot 41-19.
Tied 1-1 after the first period, Vancouver outshot Washington 16-3 in the second but couldn't find a way past Neuvirth. Canucks defenseman Jason Garrison walked into a one-timer on a Vancouver power play early in the period that Neuvirth was equal to.
Capitals sniper Alex Ovechkin then hit the post behind Luongo off the rush on a Washington power play.
Kesler had a chance late in the period in front of Neuvirth, but fired high over the goal from the left faceoff circle.
Washington tied the score just over 3 minutes later when Mike Green's shot from the point found Chimera's stick at the edge of the crease, with the puck barely trickling over the line at 14:36. Chimera, who has three goals in the last three games, started the sequence with a big hit in the Vancouver zone.
Coming off the season-long trip that saw Vancouver finish with a 5-1-1 record, the Canucks opened the scoring at 11:31 of the first period on Kassian's second goal of the season.
Oveckkin was awarded a penalty shot 89 seconds into the game when he was pulled down on a partial breakaway by defenseman Alexander Edler. Tied for the NHL lead with 10 goals, Oveckkin moved in on Luongo and got the Vancouver goalie moving with his first gift, but was unable to finish.

Penn State decides to pay victims of Jerry Sandusky
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Penn State said Monday it is paying $59.7 million to 26 young men over claims of child sexual abuse at the hands of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, a man once revered as a university icon who is now serving what is effectively a life prison sentence.
prior sentence.
Nearly two years after the retired coach was first charged with child molestation, the school said 23 deals were fully signed and three were agreements in principle. It did not disclose the names of the recipients.
The school faces six other claims, and the university says it believes some of those do not have merit while others may produce settlements.
University president Rodney Erickson issued a statement calling the announcement a step forward for victims and the school.
"We cannot undo what has been done, but we can and must do everything possible to learn from this and ensure it never happens again at Penn State," said Erickson, who announced the day Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 that Penn State was determined to compensate his victims.
competition has.
The settlements have been unfolding since mid-August, when attorneys for the accusers began to disclose them. Penn State has not been confirming them, waiting instead to announce deals at once.
Harrisburg lawyer Ben Andreozzi, who helped negotiate several of the settlements, said his clients were satisfied.
"They felt that the university treated them fairly with the economic and noneconomic terms of the settlement," said Andreozzi, who also represents some others who have come forward recently. Those new claims have not been presented to the university, he said.
One client represented by St. Paul, Minn., attorney Jeff Anderson signed off on an agreement in the past week and the other is basically done, he said. Anderson counts his two clients as among the three that have been classified as agreements in principle, which Penn State said means final documentation is expected to be completed in the next few weeks.
Anderson said his clients were focused on Penn State's changes to prevent future abuse.
"I have to applaud them, because they said 'not until we're satisfied that no one else will get hurt.' Anderson said. "The settlement of their cases in no way heals, in no way lessens the wound that remains open and the scars that are deep."

It said Monday that liability insurance is expected to cover the payments and legal defense, and
expenses not covered should be paid from interest paid on loans by Penn State to its self-supporting units.

Big 12 champion still unclear as teams fight for BCS berth
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Big 12 is shaping up for a wild November with five teams fighting for a shot at the league's automatic BCS berth.
Midway through the conference season, the maneuvering isn't just going on at the top of the standings
While four teams already are bowl eligible, others are scrapping to fill the remainder of the league's seven-bowl allotment.
Alongside fifth-ranked Baylor,
No. 13 Oklahoma, No. 15 Texas
Tech and No. 18 Oklahoma State,
it's unranked Texas (5-2, 4-0) that
can take sole possession of first
place over the idle Bears with a win at home Saturday against Kansas.
Talk about a turnaround in confidence from a month ago, when the Longhorns were 1-2 after back-to-back blowout losses to BYU and Mississippi. They've won four straight since.
sight since.
"It's just a change completely," Texas coach Mack Brown said Monday. "The team now feels like they do have a chance to win the Big 12 championship, which is what their goal has been since January.
They do understand they've got to continue to improve. We still had some issues Saturday night that
we can fix. But it's much easier to fix things when you win."
The Longhorns, coming off a 30-7 win at TCU, play three of their next four games at home before the regular-season finale at Baylor (7-0, 4-0).
the Bears and Oklahoma (7-1, 4-1) have a bye week to prepare for their Nov. 7 showdown in Waco, Texas. The break will give Sooners coach Bob Stoops some coveted extra time to figure out how to slow down Baylor and quarterback Bruce Petty.
"Great arm. Great poise. Throws a great ball," Stoops said. "You can tell he has a great understanding of
their offense and where he wants to go with everything. He does a great job."
The Sooners ended Texas Tech's perfect season with a 38-30 win on Saturday. Now the Red Raiders (7-1, 4-1) have to regroup to play Oklahoma State (6-1, 3-1) at home on Saturday.
The loser will fall two games behind in the loss column in the conference race.

"If you drop one from here on out, you've got to get some help to win" a championship, said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy.
Texas Tech gave up a season high for points to Oklahoma and
Kliff Kingsbury said he expects his players to be highly motivated this week against the Cowboys, who've beaten the Red Raiders the last two seasons by a combined score of 125-27.
"This is a group that will have a short-term memory," Kingsbury said.
If Texas joins the others in becoming bowl eligible this week, that would leave a group that includes Kansas State, TCU and West Virginia fighting for the conference's final two bowl berths.
1 CU and West Virginia go head-to-head Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas.
"You turn them into one-game seasons," said TCU coach Gary Patterson. "You've got four left. You've got to win three. If you don't do that, then you go home for Christmas."
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said he takes "full responsibility" for the lackluster play of his young offense. The Mountaineers (3-5, 1-4) have lost three straight and are trying to continue a streak of bowl berths in 11 straight seasons, while Patterson's Horned Frogs (3-5, 1-4) have gone to a bowl in eight straight years.

Losing his legs won't keep freshman Colby Liston out of the classroom
During a crisis, Matt Liston remains calm. He parks his unit where it won't interfere with traffic.
Then he figures out what happened.
He helps whoever needs immediate medical attention.
Then he figures out what happened. He does one thing at a time. First responders can't take in an overwhelming accident scene all at once. He'll deal with the emotions later.
Matt has been a police officer for 22 years and has given three death notifications in his career. During his time on the Derby Police Department advanced crash team, he's seen rollovers, ejections, train collisions and pedestrian fatalities.
When he got the call that his son Colby had been badly hurt in a car accident, he did what he always does: one thing at a time.
"The first thing we were thankful for was that he was alive," Matt said. "In my job, I know that's not always the way it works out."
Colby Liston, a freshman from Derby, is a double amputee. In an accident last August, his first weekend of freshman year, Colby was pinned between cars and lost both his legs above the knees. After a year of recovery and adapting to prosthetics, he has re-enrolled at the University and now works out at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center six days a week.
As their son drifted in and out of consciousness after surgery, Matt and his wife Dara knew the reality of the situation: Colby would never feel sand
between his toes again. But the Listons focus on the positive.
1:27 A.M. SUNDAY, AUG. 26, 2012 The Saturday after classes started was Colby's first time going out to a house party. It was also his last. He doesn't see how getting drunk with strangers is enjoyable, but parties seemed like part of the college experience and he was ready to try new things.
A friend arrived to give Colby a ride home. Six other party-goers were also
squeezing into the SU v. So Colby went around back to hop in the hatch. It was rainy and the car was illegally double-parked on Tennessee Street.
Julian Kuszmaul would tell police officers that he was driving
his girlfriend and her roommate home from a party that night. Then a 21-year-old University student from Lawrence, Kuszmaul had been previously convicted of driving under the influence.
Kusmau's car rear-ended the SUV, pinning Colby between the two vehicles.
"I don't remember any of it," Colby said. "I got hit, got taken to the hospital and woke up the next morning. That's all I know."
Kuszmaul's eyes were bloodshot and watery. The reporting officer noticed the smells of alcohol on his breath and burnt marijuana on his clothes and in
his silver Ford Explorer. He failed a field sobriety test and was in possession of an estimated three grams of marijuana, rolling papers and a grinder.

'HOW CAN YOU FEEL THAT?' Since his older brother is off playing football at Missouri Western State University, the family tradition of picking siblings falls to Colby and 10-year-old Reid. Under the dinner table at home, Reid kicks Colby in his plastic foot.
"When he says, 'I'm never going to sit in a wheelchair again,' he's never going to sit in a wheelchair again."
"Stop!" Colby says.
'HOW CAN YOU FEEL THAT?'
Colby isn't following the case. He said he doesn't care.
"How can you feel that?" Reid says. Thanks to direct suction, Colby can feel when he steps on a rock, and when his brother kicks him.
Kuszmaul faces charges of driving under the influence, refusing a blood test, following too closely and drug possession.
fatal collisions in the event that a traffic offense can also be cited.
"Even if he got the death penalty, it still wouldn't get my legs back."
Earlier this month, the Douglas County District Judge granted the defense's motion to suppress the results of the blood test. The District Attorney's office has asked to appeal this decision. A court date has not been set.
MATT LISTON Colby's father
Between both legs, Colby has more than $200,000 of top-of-the-line machinery. His parents' insurance policies have covered medical bills and his prosthetics. When his warranty expires after three years, his legs will

"I receive a beautiful thing." Colby
The red and blue sockets he straps on every morning go directly on skin. Each is decked out with a layhawk. His hydraulic knees have microprocessors that adjust the air control cylinder according to how Colby puts pressure on them. He tucks his feet into neon running shoes or flip-flops that he Velcros on. He wears shorts year-round.
"It's not like my legs get cold," he said.
OFF AND RUNNING
The wheelchair, the shower chair, special door handles all the adaptive
equipment had to go as soon as possible. Colby won't even use a handicap parking permit. When other bilateral amputees told him the hardest thing they do is walk up and down stairs. Colby moved from his room on the first floor to a basement bedroom. For Colby, recovery was a matter of making himself do it.
It started in the living room
Colby took five steps on newly fitted legs. The next time, he took six. Then, he walked all the way back and forth. He could make it across the room with only one crutch, so he tried without any crutches, just to see if he could do it.
As soon as he accomplished one small thing,he was working toward the next goal.

It was tough for Matt to let himself watch Colby fall. Matt wanted to catch him or help him up, but Colby didn't want the help. Colby had to learn how to fall and get himself back up again.

University to study vitamin D for potential diabetes prevention
YU-KYUNG LEE ylee@kansan.com
A single pill of vitamin D costs less than a dime. That's a lot less than what 18.8 million Americans diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes spend on their diabetes medication. Could a simple pill prevent diabetes?
the KU Diabetes Institute is taking part in the nationwide vitamin D and Type 2 diabetes study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Rather than looking to treat those who are already diabetic, the study is trying to see if a vitamin D supplement can prevent the 79 million pre-diabetic people in the U.S. from developing the disease altogether.
"Prevention is better than treatment; it's a lot more affordable," said Miranda Oullette, research associate at the KU Diabetes Institute. "It's exciting for me, coming from a public health background, to think from the prevention side of diabetes." Last year, Americans spent about $245 billion on diagnosed diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. Previous studies have revealed that people with diabetes had lower levels of vitamin D than
those without diabetes.
"It's something that could really help the field of diabetes as an effective means of prevention," Oullette said. "If this is effective, it's something people would be able to afford, be able to access and it would be a very good thing for those who are high risk."
The University was chosen by NIH as one of 20 universities to participate in the study. In the selection process, the NIH looked at each university's ability to recruit and perform large clinical trials.
"It's a great honor. It's very competitive," said David C. Robbins, professor of medicine and director of the KU Diabetes Institute. He is leading the Institute's participation in the study and said that the University's participation reflects its status in international research.
"KU is not just there to be a superb clinical practice, but really move the science ahead and be on the cutting edge and offer people in the community the best care that has been objectively tested," Robbins said.
Currently, the clinical trial is still in its beginning stages. While the clinical trial team at the KU Diabetes Institute has begun seeing patients, it is still looking for more trial candidates.
We are trying to talk to local community organizations, health clinics, because we really want everyone in the community to be a part of this study because it's so low-risk and they do get a lot of benefit," Oullette said.
The potential candidates are pre-diabetic adults who have above-normal blood sugar levels, but are not yet diabetic. Participants will be monitored over the next five years to see the effect of vitamin D supplements. During the trial, they will receive educational counseling on diet and exercise.
The KU Diabetes Institute is trying to recruit 150 participants over the next two years.
"I think people around the area are very eager to participate and help solve these problems and that really reflects well on the community." Robbins said. "We really bend over backwards to try to work with each individual that participates and we understand and tremendously appreciate patients working with us in this partnership"
Those interested in participating in this study can contact the University of Kansas Medical Center at 913-588-6052 or d2dstudy@ kumc.edu.

Chancellor to meet with legislators discuss University's benefits to state
KAITLYN KLEIN

Caboni said he and Gray-Little have been working one-on-one with legislators to inform them about the University's importance to the state and improve the University's relationship with the state leaders. Involving legislators in the University's mission helps

much about prosthetics. While it took the amputees he met as long as a year to get out of the wheelchair for good, Colby was walking within three months.
"I guess I just didn't know any better," Colby said. "We thought I was normal. We thought everybody did it the way I did it."
Six months after the accident, he was completely independent. Within nine months, Colby ran in the University of Central Oklahoma Endeavor Games, a national competition for athletes with physical disabilities. He won the 200- and 400-meter races.

Colby Liston, a freshman from Derby, lost his legs after a car accident in August last year. He re-enrolled in classes at the University this fall. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
At Derby High School, Colby was told he'd probably never play varsity football. At 135 pounds, he looked too small to play for a school where as many as 5,000 spectators attended games.
'ALWAYS BEEN
SELF-MOTIVATED'
"Colby has always been self-motivated," Matt said. "I've never had to say, 'Colby, go do your homework.' He's one of those kids who always wanted to be the best at whatever he does."
During his junior year Colby broke his school's long jump record with a 21-foot jump. He intended to try out for the University track
team, and Matt had no doubt his son would have been a walk-on champion.
Colby wanted to play varsity football. He hit the weight room, ran faster, studied the competition and learned the plays. By the end of his senior year, he was voted the best defensive cornerback in 6A schools in Kansas.
"Colby is one of those kids that when he puts his mind to it, he gets it done," Matt said. "When he says, 'I'm never going to sit in a wheelchair again,' he's never going to sit in a wheelchair again."
In honor of that determination,

the town rallied to help out financially within days of the accident. Team Liston, a Facebook support group, organized a charity golf tournament, a 5k run and giveback nights at local restaurants. It has also sold T-shirts, buttons and wristbands. Colby has a tan line from the Team Liston wristband he hasn't taken off in a year.
'JUST BEING MYSELF'
Foggy under postoperative pain medications, Colby couldn't pinpoint exactly when he realized he had lost his legs. He remembers going around the SUV to get in the back, then nothing. His dad explained what happened the next day.
Bandaged and lying in hospital bed, Colby asked, "How am I going to get to class?"
A few days after the accident, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little visited him in the hospital. Colby was napping on and on. He and
his parents were already discussing campus life and the Endeavor Games.
"It was inspiring to see them talk in such a problem-solving way about what they were going to do," Gray-Little said. "That is a wonderful attitude to be able to have in dealing with adversity."
He's used to the students at the

"These legs are pretty cool, huh?" Colby said.
"Yeah," he said.
"I'm half robot.'
"Really? Whoa. That's cool."

This past summer, the Listsons went on a family vacation to Tampa, Fla. On waterproof
stubbies, prosthetic feet with no knees. Colby tossed a football around with his brothers.
"Yeah, I can't feel sand between my toes," Colby said. "But my feet don't get cold in the winter. So there's a bad thing, but there's a positive thing that goes along with it."
Matt was relieved that Colby could still enjoy the beach and learn to boogie board. He was happy.
Colby is only 19 and isn't thinking
that far ahead, but he plans to graduate; get a job and eventually start a family. Prosthetics haven't stopped him from achieving any of his other goals.
"I'm just being myself," Colby said. "I don't think I'm doing anything special but people seem to think I am."

State refusal to expand Medicaid hurts Kansans
When the Affordable Care Act's constitutionality was upheld
When the Affordable Care Act's constitutionality was upheld by the Supreme Court in June 2012, supporters of the law rejoiced. What didn't get as much attention as the validation of the individual mandate was what the justices had to say about one of the law's "three legs," the massive expansion of Medicaid. For those who don't know, Medicaid is the government's insurance program for low-income Americans, which is administered through federal-state partnerships. The ACA expanded the program to make more Americans eligible and originally mandated that states accept the expansion, but the court ruled that states could opt out of the expansion.
As a result, more than 20 states have refused to expand Medicaid, including Kansas. It's been estimated that up to 8 million Americans will be left without health insurance coverage because
of the refusal of states to expand Medicaid. Even though the federal government will cover at least 90 percent of the cost, the extremely conservative state legislature refuses to even let the issue come up for a vote, and Governor Sam Brownback has been disturbingly mum on the issue. This abject failure of leadership will leave 150,000 Kansans in the "coverage gap" — those who would be covered by Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act because they don't make enough money to qualify for subsidies.
.
As one of those 150,000, it's hard to believe that the best interests of Kansas are in the minds of the legislature and governor. Come this winter, I will be 26 years old and my parents' insurance will no longer be required to cover me (I would have lost this coverage two years ago, but Obamacare mandates that insurance companies keep policyholders' children on their parents plan until age 26).
By Eric Schumacher
eschumacher@kansan.com
My yearly tax return from 2013 will not allow me to qualify for getting subsidies to purchase care on the exchanges. It's possible, of course, that I can find another way of purchasing insurance for 2014, like getting a job with strong benefits or enrolling in a graduate program that provides coverage with cost of attendance, but there's no guarantee.
So why have Kansas leaders (I use that term lightly) made the decision to leave over 100,000 working Kansans without the possibility of coverage? The answer, which has been apparent for well over a year, is political
posturing. Conservatives remain hostile to Obamaacare, and while some Republicans have offered their own solutions to the issue, many, including those in Topeka, have chosen to simply undercut and challenge the law at every opportunity, regardless of the impact of their decisions. To the governor and his allies in the legislature, this isn't about pursuing the best policy- it's about keeping up their street cred with the Tea Party and the far right.
Despite the misinformation and outright lies surrounding it, the Affordable Care Act will help millions of Americans attain more economic freedom by lowering costs and raising their quality of life through better health care access. As someone with an ongoing health condition that requires regular doctor visits, I know the importance and long term benefits of carrying insurance, even if it means paying into a health plan that I might not always use. Given
the opportunity, I would buy insurance.
While Gov. Brownback has spoken often and at length about improving the state's economy, it amounts to little more than lip service. By refusing to expand Medicaid like the majority of states, he is not only denying Kansans a shot at economic mobility, but also the security of health coverage and the right to decent health care access. Despite his insistence to the contrary, it is clear that everyday Kansans are not the governor's priority. The Republican legislature flippant dismissal of the Medicaid expansion makes them partners in this colossal absence of responsibility. This failure is the last in a long line of policies that are bad for the future of our state and it's more clear than ever that new leadership is needed.

Oil sands development cuts down on coal use and costs
Oil sands development has reshaped the outlook of fossil fuels. Classified as a type of unconventional oil, oil sands are a naturally occurring mixture of minerals, water and bitumen - viscous oil that requires intensive treatment and refining. Imagine oil sands as thick molasses — nearly solid, but mixed with harsh chemicals and sand. The largest, most efficiently utilized deposits of oil sands occur in Alberta, Canada. Though oil sands extraction is more greenhouse gas intensive, this reason alone should not be a reason to shun the abundant resource.
A strict environmentalist would see oil sands extraction, from surface mining to the use of water to separate out the bitumen, as a step in the wrong direction. That is to say, any step not in the direction of a renewable, greenhouse gas free resource is a step that shouldn't be taken. Such a view isn't representative of every sustainability ally, particularly the realistic ones, but often leading "nonprofit" opinions, including "top rated" charities such as the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), will take an extreme perspective.
Here's an example: Obama once claimed that he will only move forward with the Keystone XL pipeline一a pipeline that
By Chris Ouyang couyang@kansan.com
True, oil sands production hurts the local environment and the global climate change outlook. But to do something about it, individuals, groups and even nations cannot take a single issue voter approach. It's much too narrow-minded. They cannot take an "all oil sands production must be stopped ... all investment dollars should be spent on solar panels" mentality.
transports oil sands production to Gulf Coast refineries — if it does not increase net greenhouse gas emissions. That's an odd criterion: the very existence of humans, breathing in oxygen and out carbon dioxide, increases net greenhouse gas emissions. Why does a single pipeline get so much attention, especially when thousands of miles of oil pipelines (including the first two phases of the original Keystone pipeline) crisscross America? The answer you find may vary, but the bottom line is that Obama has to cater to some of his strongest supporters, and they happen to have single-issue voter mentalities when it comes to the energy future.
Here's another: The Sierra Club recently celebrated the shutting down of a coal plant, the 150th shutdown. For each coal plant that it targets and eventually retires, the Sierra Club celebrates. But upon closer examination, the rapid rise in production of natural gas because of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has been the proximate cause of coal's dismal outlook (See: Natural Gas Switching). It's fair to say that natural gas, significantly cleaner burning than coal, is far more responsible for the decrease in U.S. coal consumption than the Sierra Club. Yet, the Sierra Club takes a strong stance against any hydraulic fracturing. According to the Sierra
Club, hydraulic fracturing is "violent process that contaminates drinking water, pollutes the air, and causes earthquakes." In fact, the Sierra Club boldly claims: "If driller can't extract natural gas without destroying landscapes and endangering the health of families, then we should not drill for natural gas."
That's oddly hypocritical. As they celebrate coal plant retirements, they attack the natural gas revolution — the cause of the enormous decreases in U.S. coal consumption. I'm not going to go into a defense of hydraulic fracturing, but the inability to recognize the positive climate impact that natural gas is having (by reducing coal consumption) while celebrating coal plants shutting down is baffling.
In response, the energy industry must repeatedly defend itself from these "single-issue" attacks, themselves also becoming narrow-minded and single-issue focused. Where are the moderates on these issues? This lack of common ground is hindering the rise of a coalition that can really evaluate the benefits and costs of fossil fuels and pragmatically move toward a cleaner energy future.
I hope to be one of those moderates. Oil sands are a critical part of the global resource basket and, though high in carbon and other dangerous compounds, are demanded by a market of consumers: us. For now, oil sands are here to stay, and making sure they remain valued while exploring other alternatives without taking extreme points of view is a must.

SELF HELP
Personal writing can improve mental health
It's perfectly okay to be sad. Everyone gets sad sometimes, right? But is it normal to break down at school and at home? Is it normal to be sad all the time? That was the question I faced, halfway through my eighth grade school year.
It had nothing to do with my friends or family, my teachers or classmates. I just simply wasn't happy. No, it wasn't puberty. And no, it wasn't just the fact that I was a teenager trying to fit in. I had a strong support system, and without my parents I don't know what I would have done. It was no one's fault.
I denied being sad for a reason.
I felt weak. I felt like an outlier. I felt as though no one understood me, and the way I looked at it, I didn't want to make my problem theirs. I didn't want them to be upset, and I didn't want them to get involved. I thought if they got involved, it would make me even weaker.
The one thing I did know was that I loved to write. I wrote all kinds of poetry and I journaled. I wrote to stay sane. It was the one thing that stayed uniform, no matter how much my attitude or behavior didn't.
My English class was where most of this writing took place, and my teacher was just about the only person I trusted to read my writing. Writing was the only thing that calmed me down and helped me understand what I was going through. She allowed us to free write some class days, and those were the days that kept me going.
But as the year went on, my depression worsened. And people took notice. My parents would often sit down and talk to me, ask me how school was, ask me how my friends were. They were concerned and by April they set up an appointment with a
By GJ Melia
gmelia@kansan.com
therapist, who I only visited a few times. The visits went by quickly, but it was nice to have someone to talk to.
Fast forward to the second semester of my sophomore year. School had been stressing me out, and my depression was slowly building. I had stopped writing simply because I wasn't making time to. I was holding onto the edge and barely making it through my classes.
So I wrote. And I haven't stopped. I've written more and more consistently, and it became a part of my daily life. I write.
That's just what I do. It keeps me calm and it keeps me focused.
And you should write. It doesn't matter what it is and doesn't matter if it makes no sense. You don't have to do anything with it. After you're done, get rid of it. Delete it. Destroy it. But it will help if your thoughts are out of your head and you're able to see them. If it feels like no one understands, try to understand it better yourself. It will help you explain what you're feeling, even if you're the only one to see it.
I took a class that semester called Writer's Workshop. I could write whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted and I didn't even have to share it with the class. It brought back painful middle school memories, but it also brought back the one thing that could help me overcome it.

Have a scare-free Halloween at Schaake's Pumpkin Patch, 1791 N. 1500 Rd. in Lawrence. Pick pumpkins, take a ride on a tractor or get lost in the hay bale maze.

Schaake's Pumpkin Patch provides family fun for all
CALLIE BYRNES
cbyrnes@kansan.com
Davidson isn't the only one to make Schaake's an annual tradition. Lenexa native Scott Englander and his wife have been bringing their children to
For those too squeamish for gory horror flicks or haunted houses, Halloween doesn't have to be avoided. Besides the appeal of cheap candy and costumes, another idea is hunting for pumpkins at Schaake's Pumpkin Patch, located in Lawrence at 1791 N. 1500 Rd.
Schaake's offers activities for people of all ages, including a hay bale maze, a pumpkin slingshot and free tractor rides in the patch. They also sell treats such as kettle corn and apple cider.
"It's the epitome of fall," said Emily Davidson, a junior from Lawrence, who has been going to Schaake's for 20 years. "You can't just choose one thing that's the best about it because it's an experience all together."
Schaake's for about 15 years.
"My favorite part is just walking around and searching for our favorite pumpkins," Scott said. "It's become a tradition. Everyone gets his or her own pumpkin. We even get one for our dog."
"I would say going to the pumpkin patch signifies the fact that we're staying a close family."
WILLIAM ENGLANDER Freshman from Lenexa
Scott's son William also had fond memories of the pumpkin patch. He said his favorite part is racing his brother through the hale bale maze every year.
"It's all in good fun, of course," William said. "We're definitely competitive, though. We want to win."
William, a freshman at the University, said he plans to continue going to the pumpkin patch with his family even as he continues college.
"I would say going to the pumpkin patch signifies the fact that we're staying a close family," William said. "Continuing traditions like this means that we aren't going to let things like this fall by the wayside even as my brother and I head to college."
Aaron Decker, from Olathe, has been bringing his family to Schaake's ever since they moved to Kansas in 2006. His favorite part is taking pictures of his children every year next to a sign that shows how tall they've grown.
[Schaake's is] outside of Kansas City but it still has a family fun feel to it." Decker said. "Every year and we come here and see all these families with grandparents and multiple kids all out having fun."

TROUBLE AFTER THE SNAP
Football Notebook
Quarterbacks show no hard feelings in position battle
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Heeney in, Pierson questionable
After sitting out for two weeks because of a knee injury, Ben Heeney is often listed on the Jayhawks depth chart at middle linebacker. Heeney is healed and will play at Texas on Saturday.
Tony Pierson, who leads the team in reception yards despite not playing against TCU or Oklahoma, is questionable this week.
Charlie Weis said that Pierson has been cleared to play by the medical staff, but Weis wants to be cautious with him.
Pierson started last week's game against Baylor, but after a deep pass from junior quarterback Jake Heaps, Pierson stood on the sidelines with his head down. Pierson told Weis that he was feeling dizzy, though he had not been hit on that play.
play.
"Maybe I'm overly concerned, but when the kid is out there for three plays and he feels dizzy when he hasn't been hit, you better be concerned," Weis said. "Especially when you know he's had his head
knocked around a couple times in the calendar year, I mean, isn't that one of the biggest points in football today, the discussion about concussions?"
Montell Cozart shows improvement
As a true freshman, Cozart is competing for playing time with junior Heaps, and while he's shown some promise. Weis knows that Cozart has a lot of room for improvement.
Cozart was 4-for-14 with 69 passing yards and 17 rushing yards against Baylor.
"Every time he gets out there, it's just going to get better and better," Weis said.
The plan is to play Cozart on a significant number of snaps this week at Texas so he can continue to gain experience.
It's not ideal for Weis to be splitting the plays in half for his two quarterbacks, but he's seeing how it goes for now.
"We want both the guys to know they aren't under quick trigger and looking over their shoulder," Weis said. "Because now you make one
mistake and you're afraid you're on the sideline."
Heaps and Cozart maintain positive attitudes
The situation at quarterback could potentially be a difficult one for coaches and teammates to handle, but Weis said Heaps has handled it positively.
"Jake is the one who has made this a little easier, because Jake is probably the most unselfish person we have," Weis said. "Whatever we have to do to give us the best chance, that's all he's concerned about."
Last week when Cozart had a successful play, Heaps was there to slap him on the back, and when Heaps threw a touchdown, Cozart was the first to congratulate Heaps. Weis said he didn't have to tell either one of them to do that.
It's not clear how long this quarterback battle will go on, but it does show Weis is being patient with both Heaps and Cozart.

Kansas uses bye week to recover from Iowa State
BLAIR SHEADE
bsheade@kansan.com
Kansas (16-5, 6-2) had a bye week to prepare for tonight's match against the Baylor Bears (11-3, 3-5) at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center.
Senior middle blocker Caroline jarmoc thinks the bye week couldn't have come at a better time.
"Coach is giving us recovery time, because this is essential at this point in the season," Jarmoc said. "We're a bit older team and we're weary."
The bright point in the disappointing five-set loss against Iowa State on Oct. 23 was Jarmoc, who became the Jayhawks all-time career block leader. Jarmoc ended the history-breaking match with six total blocks and team highs of 16 kills and a .419 hitting percentage.
Jarmoc wasn't the only Kansas player who had a career night. Freshman middle blocker Tayler Soucie recorded 12 kills against Iowa State — her season high.
"I was getting a lot of sets, and I enjoy that," Soucie said. "Being able to step up and help my team was a good thing."
Soucie was set 27 balls against Iowa State — the most sets she has received all season. With Iowa State being a tough opponent, she
knew she had to step up.
"I was always looked down upon, so I strived for these big games." Soucie said.
The Jayhawks allowed two aces throughout the match, one of which came during a close fifth set.
"We're going to work on a little bit of passing," Jarmoc said.
"I was getting a lot of sets, and I enjoy that. Being able to step up and help my team was a good thing."
TAYLER SOUCIE Freshman middle blocker
The lajayhawks, who lost their second Big 12 Conference game of the season to Iowa State, dropped out of the top 25 this week. The loss formed a three-way tie for second in the Big 12 Conference between Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa State.
Baylor, fifth in the Big 12 Conference, is coming off a two-game win streak, but the Bears haven't won in Lawrence since 2010.
Baylor's go-to player is senior outside hitter Zoe Adom. Adom leads the Bears with 253 kills this
season, and she is averaging over three kills per set.
Baylor's Big 12 Conference record reflects the way the Bears are playing. The Bears are in the bottom half of the Big 12 Conference in hitting percentage, assists, kills and service aces.
Baylor has relied on Adom because she has been set 115 more balls than any other player on the team.
Baylor's offense doesn't compare to the Jayhawks' offense. Kansas' 14.46 kills per set leads the Big 12 Conference, and Baylor hit two less kills per set. Kansas leads the Big 12 in assists with more than 13 per set, while Baylor averages 11 per set.
Kansas has an edge over Baylor defensively as well.
Baylor is in the bottom half of the Big 12 Conference in blocks and digs. Kansas leads the conference in blocks with 2.75 per set. The Jayhawks are third in the conference with 16 digs per set, while Baylor averages 14 per set.
Baylor will be the redemption match for the Jayhawks after the tough loss to Iowa State.
The Jayhawks look to bounce back tonight against Baylor at 6 p.m.

Kansas basketball ignites Jayhawk spirit
---
Before becoming a Jayhawk, there were only two things I was absolutely sure of about basketball: the ball is orange and I'm about a foot too short to play.
Basketball season is among us, folks. I can say that with confidence now because last night, I experienced what everyone gets so amped up about. "There's just no way to describe it," people would tell me. A light flickered in their eyes, mirroring the reflection of the bright lights on the glossy court.
I observed that same light in the eyes of 2,000 loyal students, when we should have been sleeping at 6 a.m., as we waited patiently during lottery on Monday morning. The cheerful mood didn't fade yesterday; my classmates bobbed their knees in anticipation.
However, I, a transfer student straight from Cali, was clueless. Like a wide-eyed doe, I followed a crowd to Allen Fieldhouse

minutes before the floodgates opened.
Camping groups huddled together tightly and I quickly forgot about my claustrophobia. The leader of my group promised that elbows would be thrown as we hustled to claim our spot in the bleachers. Nobody warned me that running in damp Toms would be the real hazard and I nearly slid onto the court.
Once our belongings were spread out to
save seats, the present students around me began shredding newspapers into little bits. The journalist in me soon got over it and the sports fan in me was easily convinced to contribute to the handfails. Should've brought my paper cuter. Confetti filled the air at tip off and fluttered over us in the bleachers. The party had started.
A vibrant energy captivated every
A violent energy capriated every fan and, at one point, I could've sworn the dribble of the ball matched my pulse. I began tensing at every arm wave, ball toss and change of direction Wiggins and the other white jerseys. Without fail, a heavy stillness filled the Fieldhouse as foul shots sailed into the net. Whoosh!
THE BREW
Flashback to March, I was visiting campus with my dad. It was a Saturday and the streets were clogged with traffic. People walked by clad in spirit wear and we exchanged
unknowing glances
It was true what everyone had said. Absorbing the applause and joyful shouts of a full house can only be experienced. I was surprised to see my arms shoot into the air at every three-pointer and I even resented the guy in front of me ob-
structuring my view. I did the math each time the gap of the score widened, hopeful for a higher digit. Along with every other fan, the 97-57 score made me proud to be a Jayhawk. Congratulations. You've all made my ears bleed. Bleed crimson and blue, that is. See everyone next Tuesday!

Heat get rings, then hold off Chicago Bulls 107-95
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — They got their rings before the game, then a challenge as it was winding down.
The Miami Heat responded to both.
Shane Battier went 4 for 4 from 3-point range, including a critical one from the right corner with 1:33 remaining, and the Heat wasted most of what was a 25-point lead before holding off Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls 107-95 on Tuesday night in the season-opener for both teams.
LeBron James scored 17 points for Miami, which got its 2013 NBA championship rings in a pregame ceremony. The Heat trailed 9-2 early, then outscored Chicago 52-24 over the remainder of the first half.
Rose finished with 12 points in 34 minutes in his first game since a serious knee injury in April 2012. Carlos Boozer had 31 points and seven rebounds for Chicago, which got within eight points in the final minutes.
But Battier's right-corner 3 — a staple for the Heat — snuffed out the comeback, and Miami wasn't in trouble again.
Chris Bosh scored 16 points, Battier finished with 14 and Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers each had 13 for Miami, which had seven players score in double figures.
Ray Allen and Norris Cole each scored 11 for Miami.
Rose shot 4 for 15 for the Bulls.
Rose shot 4 for 15 for the Bulls. By halftime, Miami was rolling, up 54-33 — putting the game on pace for a 108-66 final, which would have exactly matched the score of the game in 2006 when Chicago came into Miami and spoiled the Heat franchise's first ring night.
A layup by Butler with 5:34 left got the Bulls within 15, and after he missed the ensuing free throw, the rebound made its way to Kirk Hinrich — who made a 3-pointer
Not this time, though the Bulls made it plenty interesting down the stretch.
that cut Miami's lead to 91-79.
that cut Miami's lead to 91-79. Hinrich fouled out on the ensuing Miami possession, and Rose checked back in with 5:14 left after spending the entire fourth quarter to that point on the bench. Wade scored seconds later, the Heat followed that with a stop, and James simply overpowered Luo Deng in the post on the next trip to restore the 16-point lead.
But again, the Bulls weren't done, cutting the lead to 95-87 on a drive by Boozer with 2:47 left. They would get no closer, and Miami held on despite giving up 37 points in the final quarter.
Rose's start was promising early, with two early drives for impressive scores. The Bulls led 15-10 when Rose checked out for the first time with 3:36 left in the opening quarter.

GAME TO REMEMBER
White backed up his coach one day after Bill Self said White will be a mainstay in the Jayhawks rotation. He was Kansas' first player off the bench Tuesday and scored 12-points for the Jayhawks in just 15 minutes. Any Jayhawk fan questioning White's improvement saw firsthand why Self is so highly of him in the preseason.

White III's offseason
improvements
In the preseason, Andrew White III emerged from a pack of talented freshmen guards. He will be the first guard off the bench for Kansas this season.
The jayhawks' second-highest ranked recruit from last season, sophomore White III appeared in only 25 of the games while averaging five minutes a game. After the Sweet 16 loss last season, White III headed into the offseason ready to elevate his game to a new level.
"As soon as we lost to Michigan, I recommitted myself to working, trying to emphasize on some things," White III said. "Ball handling, get my body better, faster, more lateral speed."
When all is said and done, it's a lot simpler than that.
"I try to be as poised as I can, being a junior and trying to be the leader of the team."
NAADIR THARPE Junior guard
"Just doing whatever I have to do with this team." White III said.
to help this team," White III said. Perhaps the biggest improvement from last season for White III has been his hustle.
“[It’s] something that has really improved my game,” White III said. “Making plays on defense that will help the team.”
Coach Bill Self said his hustle was apparent in the offseason.
"He'll take rebounds even from our big because he's going after the ball," Self said.
This was exhibited at the end of the first half, when White III sprinted down the court, catching a pass in stride from junior guard Naadir Tharpe to finish with a dunk with two seconds left in the half.
White III finished with 12 points and four rebounds in just 15 minutes. This marks his first time reaching double digits since scoring 15 points against Belmont last December.
In the offseason, White III could be found at the gym on nights and weekends in an effort to improve his game. It's something he has done since he was a kid.
"It's a calm atmosphere for me to go in and work on some things," White III said. "I'm a fan of the
late night workouts."
White appeared in crucial games last season as a three-point specialist but was not used much in games beyond that. Look for White III's role to be elevated this season.
Tharpe with zero turnovers
After battling freshman guard Frank Mason for the starting point guard role in much of the offseason, junior Naadir Tharpe was named the starting point guard by Self in early October. He showed why he was given the nod in tonight's game.
Tharpe had a game-high nine assists, and he didn't contribute a single turnover to the Jayhawks total of 19.
He didn't miss a field goal and chipped in seven points and a steal in 23 minutes.
"I try to be as poised as I can," Tharpe said. "Being a junior and trying to be the leader of the team."
inarpe attributed the turnovers to the team's aggressive play. He's not worried about it being a trend for the season.
Tharpe ranked third in the Big 12 last season with a 2.2 assist-to-turnover ratio and finished with a sizzling 9.0 in last night's contest.
"By the time it gets to midseason, we'll be where we need to be." Tharpe said.
Though the Jayhawks struggled to score from long range during the first half, Tharpe got them going with back-to-back jumpers late in the half.
Ellis picking up where he left off
While he will play in the exhibition game next Tuesday against Fort Hays State, Tharpe will sit out the Louisiana Monroe game, serving his one-game suspension for playing in an organized summer league game. Mason will make the start in his place.
Continuing his hot play from last season, sophomore forward Perry Ellis tied for the team lead with 16 points on 70 percent shooting, along with eight rebounds.
off
After coming on strong at the end of last season, Ellis was glad to get the season started.
"We've been practicing since summer, so it was good to get that first game out of the way," Ellis said.
Ellis led the team with two steals and also contributed three offensive rebounds.

COMMENTARY
Wiggins proves athleticism despite young age, nerves
10
By Max Goodwin mgoodwin@kansan.com
The expectations placed on Andrew Wiggins might be impossible to live up
to, but with one play in the first half, Wiggins showed exactly why those expectations are so lofty. His head rose to rim level as he caught a pass from Jamari Traylor and slammed down a dunk that rumbled the Fieldhouse.
The gameplay before that moment showed why he still has so much room to grow — Wiggins looked uneasy early in his debut for the lajawhaws.
More than two hundred camping groups waited to get seats for the exhibition game against Pittsburgh State and from the roar of the crowd as Wiggins was introduced, it was clear that most of them had waited just to see the 17-year-old freshman.
But 10 minutes into the game, six Jayhawks had scored and Wiggins wasn't one of them.
"He didn't play very well early," Self said.
In his press conference, Bill Self said that Wiggins admitted his pre-game nervousness in the locker room after the game.
The first time he touched the ball, Wiggins was called for traveling. His first shot, a three, clanked off the back of the rim. Wiggins blocked a shot, headed the other direction for what looked like a sure dunk, but instead fumbled the pass from Andrew White III out of bounds. Wiggins slapped his hands together, yelled and let out a deep breath.

It was a called play by Self to set up something for Wiggins.
Then, with a baseline drive and a pull-up floater, Wiggins was on the scoreboard with 9:36 left in the half. The nerves faded. The anxiety eased.
Wiggins began to look comfortable.
That is when Wiggins leaped into the air and slammed down the alley-opp from Traylor. Fans in the Fieldhouse screamed with excitement and Wiggins let out a yell right along with them.
up something for Wiggins. Kansas fans will have to be patient this season. Remember, Wiggins reclassified before his junior year of high school. He's basically a high school senior playing at the NCAA level. He wouldn't be here, right now, if he hadn't been the most athletic player at the high school level a year ago.
The expectations might not be fair for a 17-year-old, but the athleticism that Wiggins displayed in Tuesday night's exhibition begs for comparison to some of the greatest athletes to ever play the game.
However, Wiggins is human. The hype and anticipation that swirl around him would be enough to make any kid his age sweat bullets before ever taking the court.
Despite how much Wiggins' athleticism separates him from every other player at the college level, he's still a freshman, and a young freshman at that.
"Hes a thinker, all freshmen are thinkers right now," Self said.
"There are very few freshmen who react. Everybody isn't as athletic when they think."

Early in the Jayhawks preseason opener last night, freshman guard Andrew Wiggins resembled most freshmen on campus.
He was just as nervous being away from home as any other first-year student. Wiggins' first possession resulted in a travel, while his first shot was a missed three.
But as the clock showed seven minutes remaining in the first half, Wiggins granted a glimpse of why there's so much hype surrounding him.
With the Jayhawks in transition, redshirt sophomore forward Jamari Traylor found Wiggins streaking to the basket and lobbed a pass his way. Wiggins, having been in this situation before, grabbed the ball and slammed it down with style before unleashing
a primal roar that was echoed by the capacity crowd.
Rarely is a scream so comforting, but it seemed to calm the rest of the team down.
The dunk ended Wiggins' 0-3 stretch from the field and sparked a 16-point, six-rebound night that tied him with sophomore forward Perry Ellis for the scoring lead.
"You would expect for the first couple minutes not to be sharp," sophomore guard Andrew White III said. "Guys found a comfort level after the first five minutes. It's a work in progress."
Around the same time Wiggins found his groove, the rest of the team seemed to fall into theirs as
Still, the tension was apparent in Wiggins and the Jayhawks during their 97-57 victory over Pittsburg State as they displayed the kind of performance that easily explains the need for a preseason.
"The second half we played much better," junior guard Naadir Tharpe said. "But we have a lot of young dudes who were nervous and trying to get into the flow of the game."
well.
"You would expect for the first couple minutes not to be sharp."
ANDREW WHITE III
Sophomore guard
Kansas coach Bill Self was expecting this to some degree, especially with his freshmen.
Self said that most of the time, recruits come in and worry too much about their own game to
play at their potential. This was seen in a few Kansas players: Wiggins had a sluggish outing early on, freshman guard Conner Frankkamp went 0-3 from the field and freshman center Joel Embiid missed some easy layups down low.
"All freshman are thinkers right now," Self said. "There are very few freshmen who react. Everybody isn't as athletic when they think."
But not everybody was in need of a tune up. Tharpe showed virtually no signs of rust as he scored seven points and disilled nine assists with no turnovers — although after the game he admitted the official scorers may have missed a giveaway.
More than anything, the layhawks were sloppy, and as far as Self is concerned, that much can be cleaned up by the start of the regular season. Perhaps the biggest reason for the inconsistency
was the 50 combined fouls that were called, in large part due to the new hand-checking rule. It didn't seem like either team had much of a chance to get into a rhythm or allow the game to flow naturally.
Seni and the Jayhawks will have a week to learn from their first game experience before Fort Hays State comes to Lawrence on Nov. 5. By then, Self's hope is that his new guys are more acclimated to the college level.
"Primarily it comes from not knowing how to guard." Self said of the excessive fouls. "It wasn't us putting our hands on them so much as we allowed them to force help all the time."
"There were some good things," Self said. "But obviously we need to play a lot better than we did tonight."

Weis encourages confidence against Texas
CONNOR OBERKROM
coberkrom@kansan.com
When Texas came to Lawrence last year, Texas quarterback Case McCoy lead the Longhorns on a game-winning drive. The Kansas football team will fight for redemption when it travels to Austin on Saturday.
Last year's battle against Texas was nothing less than demoralizing. This year, Kansas is still missing that one signature win (or, really, any Big 12 win) under Weis. Looking back to last season, the Jayhawks were closer to winning a conference game under Weis than ever before.
Weis said in his press conference on Tuesday that, even after studying last year's loss, the team
can still enter the game with confidence.
Since last season, Texas lost a few of its familiar defensive players, but the offensive players are mostly the same. Despite the lack in changes, this year Texas raised its status to one of the hottest teams in the league. Weis has shown Kansas the tape of last year's game and noted that a similar group of Longhorns that beat the Javahawks 21-17.
"The players should feel that they have a chance of winning." Weis said. "That's the most important thing."
With David Ash still out because of an injury, McCoy has started for three consecutive games and has averaged approximately 220 yards a game over
Kansas assistant defensive back coach, Scott Vestal, was the quality control coach at Texas during McCoy's freshman year. Vestal has noticed considerable improvements in McCoy compared to where he began: Under the shadow of his brother, Colt McCoy, who is now a backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers.
those three starts.
"The intangibles are there; [McCoy] is a hard worker. There's no doubt in my mind [that] as a senior the other players believe in him, so he has got a little moxie there." Vestal said.
From one offense to another, Weis thinks that Kansas can mimic the Longhorns' offense, which focuses on getting playmakers
Volume
The current two-quarterback system Weis is using will be prevalent in Austin. Cozart and Heaps will still split reps until a leader emerges. If one doesn't make a statement, Weis will continue to play the hand and experiment to spur some offensive production.
"I actually think the receivers played better last week—you actually saw route definition. They weren't just running routes, they

just were competing for balls," Weis said.
As for his new role of working more individually with players, Weis said the change isn't necessarily an indictment on wide receiver coach Rob Ianello. It's more of an intimidating motivational tactic from Weis himself. Thanks to his increased interaction with the team, Weis said that he thinks they will be improved and playing strong by the end of the season.
Kansas will try to break their 24-game road-losing streak against Texas this Saturday and will continue looking for tangible evidence that their performances are improving.

"They said it was low risk, but heart surgery is heart surgery," Sundermeyer said. "It was really scary, but I had a really good support system with my friends and family." The procedure itself was fairly simple; the surgeons went in laparoscopically, meaning they only made a few small incisions in his chest, to separate the troublesome chambers by caterizing them. This also meant they didn't have to crack his sternum, which allowed for a faster recovery.
Sundermeyer was ordered to rest for an entire month after the surgery. He spent every day on the couch watching TV and counting down the days until he would finally be able to run again. When his month of couch arrest was up he didn't timidly dip his toes in the water — he jumped right in and started training for a triath-

Sundermeyer said he realized that a heart surgery shouldn't prevent him from doing what he loves, and he wanted to put his newly fixed heart to good use.
Disbelief, shock and worry were only a few of the emotions that went through Hunter Sundermeyer's head when he found out he needed surgery for a moderately severe heart arrhythmia.
After years of distance running, a heart problem was the last thing he expected. He thought, "How does a 19-year-old athlete end up needing heart surgery?"
In January, Sundermeyer, a sophomore from Olaina, was told that two chambers of his heart were abnormally interconnected and it was causing atrial fibrillation, which means those two chambers were beating out of sync. The issue had to be fixed through surgery, and quickly.
Just a week after finding out about his condition. Sundermeyer was heading to the operating table. Though the condition was dangerous, his young age meant the operation would be much simpler and the recovery time much shorter. But, even with this reassuring news, Sundermeyer was terrified going in.
lon.
"After the surgery everybody treated me differently, kind of delicately," Sundermeyer said. "I wanted to do something to show everybody that I'm better than I was before."
As a pre-dental student, Sundermeyer's course load is pretty heavy and finding time for training can be difficult. But he said as long as he can get in at least a small workout every night he's working toward his goal.
In the time since his operation, those two legs have taken him from the couch to his first triathlon.
He said he is certain about the decision to work hard and put his improved heart to the test, but his true goal is crossing that finish line in Mav
"Honestly I just want to finish," Sundemeyer said. "I just want to get there and do as well as I can and show how far I've come in a year."
On May 18, just 16 months after the procedure,
Sundermeyer will run in the Kansas City Sprint

P.
Until then, he's putting in several hours a week training hard at the gym. On a typical evening he will either run four miles, bike 16 miles or swim for an hour, plus some weightlifting on top of that. Sundermeyer's love for running started when he was a kid and has grown from there. He ran cross-country in high school and has run several 5k races, which he said is his favorite events.

Brandishing signs covered in phrases like "I am not just a budget" and "Education shouldn't be a debt sentence," a group of University students protested state budget cuts to higher education funding yesterday.
The group, led by the student organization KU Young Democrats, held their protest before the visit from representatives of the Kansas House Appropriations and Senate Ways and Means committees met with Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and other University officials.

"It's just not right," said Eric Schumacher, a senior from Topeka and vice president of KU Young Democrats, referring to the higher education budget cuts. "We simply believe this is
Schumacher added that "the attitude coming from government leaders is that students can shoulder the burden of cutting costs," and said the state should make sure students have the resources they need to graduate.
It's a reflection on the people who made the cuts. It shows that they don't find education to be an important asset."
Ashley Lewandowski, a sophomore from Pittsburg and a protester, said she thought the cuts to funding weren't purely a fiscal decision.

amounts and face even more difficulty paying them back, thereby increasing their level of debt.
Lewandowski added that an education is essential in getting hired for most jobs in the country. She also said she questioned why the state would choose to make cuts toward something so important.
"Education is something you need to prosper in this country." Lewandowski said. "It's a key platform for the future and enables you to continue your dreams."

Applying students consider school rankings

A StudentPOLL conducted by Art & Science Group found that college rankings are becoming increasingly important to high school seniors. According to the survey, two-thirds of the 39,000 surveyed college applicants had taken rankings into account making their final decision.

"The most reliable source is taking an official campus visit to determine if the campus and program is right for the student," said Lisa Kress, the director of admissions. "We particularly encourage students and families to do a deep dive on their academic program of interest as the quality of the individual program is more relevant than the rankings of the entire university."
Kress said college rankings should be used solely as a springboard for students to start researching a college or university. Other important aspects to look
into include affordability, academic programs, study abroad, undergraduate research and making sure the school is a good fit academically and socially.

"We often find that qualities related to a college or university's academic program, campus community, and other distinctions factor into students' college decisions more than its rankings do," wrote the principal of Art & Science Group, Richard A. Hesel, in the study.
Winston Olsen, a senior from Culver Academies in Indiana, is searching for schools based on location. He said the degree programs, surrounding town and whether the school is a good fit is all important when making a final decision.
According to the study, students with SAT scores of 1300 and above were more likely to consult college rankings when applying than students with SAT scores under 1300.

Cause of SafeBus and SafeRide decline unclear
MARK ARCE
marce@kansan.com
KU Parking & Transit recently announced a decline in ridership for SafeRide and SafeBus services compared to last year, marking the second year of decline for both.
According to KU Parking & Transit, the department that overseez both programs, the overall ridership for SafeBus' four routes has declined 17.1 percent since last year. SafeRide ridership has declined a 29.9 percent.
Drew Humphreys, the transportation coordinator for Student Senate, said the department is investigating various reasons for the trend, looking into factors such as the increase in Lawrence Police Department's efforts to crack down on underage drinking, Safe-Bus' service routes, and University students' level of awareness of both services.
Scott Ross, a graduate student
from Nevada, Mo., said he was unaware of SafeRide, and didn't use SafeBus because he lives on Massachusetts Street, the central hub of all SafeBus routes.

SafeRide vehicles are small, compact cars. Unlike the SafeBus service. SafeRide only gives rides home. Both services have seen decreased ridership.

Architecture school hosts jack-o-lantern contest

Architecture students gathered last night to participate in the American Institute of Architecture Students annual pumpkin carving contest. The group asked members and non-members alike to gather and partake in pizza and put their design skills to the test.
"Our organization has been doing this for many years now and everyone tends to have fun while taking a much-needed break from studio," said Austin Griffis, president of AIAS.
Using pumpkins donated by HyVee, students armed with only their trusty box cutters and creative inspiration carved jack-o-lanterns as scary as they are aesthetically appealing.
The completed jack-o-lanterns were judged by architecture professors based on creative input as well as design skill. The event also served as the kickoff for the fall event schedule for the AIAS. The Kansan made it out to the event and caught up with some of the designers and their spooky works.

Take care of the planet during all four seasons
So I have this friend—Abby. Abby is crazy about the planet and does her best to "be green" and live a sustainable lifestyle. When she can, Abbey buys organic food. She rides her bike to work and walks instead of taking the bus. Abbey even prefers to open the windows instead of turning on the air conditioner. When a room is dark she opens the blinds instead of using a lamp. But Abbay has a problem.
Although she totally digs the earth, she's starting to realize her environmentalism is somewhat seasonal. When the temperatures start to drop and the Farmers Market closes, Abby becomes a weenie and starts buying her food at Wal-mart and driving her not fuel-efficient Mazda to work. And Gabby even chooses to turn on the heater rather than add another layer of clothes. Did I say Gabby? Oops. My secret is out. I am a seasonal environmentalist. But, hey, the first step is admitting you have a problem, right? I know I'm not the only one whose environmentalism starts to falter in the cold months. So today I encourage you to take the first step towards eco-recovery and admit you have a problem.
Okay, now that we've gotten that off our chests let's move forward
in the healing process together by learning some tips to maintain our environmental-savviness throughout the winter.
It is tempting to grab the car keys rather than hit the bike lane as the days get colder. Rather than increase carbon emissions, bundle up Antarctica-style before heading to school or work. Mother Nature isn't interested in whether your boots match your jacket, so grab the fleece-lined puffy coat and mismatched wool socks. Investing in appropriate outerwear for winter will keep you cozy, warm and willing to maintain environmentally friendly transportation practices.
A second pitfall to avoid as the nights cool down is increased energy consumption. Conserving energy is not only good for the environment, but also good for the wallet. The US Energy Information Administration projects heating costs to increase this winter as the prices of residential natural gas, propane, and electricity increase. To decrease your heating bill, set the thermostat 10 degrees lower before you leave the house for work and when you go to bed. Try opening the curtains or blinds during the day to let in solar radiation and closing them at night to trap in heat. Additionally, check that rugs or furniture aren't covering heating vents. And as always, bundle up—another layer of socks never hurts.

The hardest part about staying "green" in the winter is eating local. When the Farmers Market closes for the season it's easy to drift to large chain grocery stores. Fight the urge to flock to Wal-mart and head to The Merc. The Merc offers more than 600 locally grown food items from small-scale farmers within a 200-mile radius of Lawrence. From salad dressing to tofu, the Merc can fit the dietary needs of any environmentalist wishing to stay on track during the cold months. Also, the Lawrence Farmers Market hosts an annual Holiday Market in December for handicrafts as well as winter crops.
It may seem trite to list such simple ways to be environmentally friendly in the upcoming months, but it's important to remember that seemingly insignificant changes, if done collectively, can make an impact. When addressing environmental issues, it's important to understand that the decisions we make won't have
Periodic sadness should be accepted, not demonized
MENTAL HEALTH
Although WebMD has kindly warned me over the years that my sore throat may indeed be West Nile Virus, that my sore jaw is probably bone cancer, and that my stomach ache could very likely be parasitic worms, there is one symptom that their database cannot seem to turn into a horrific hyperbolic diagnosis for me, and that is melancholy. The ailment—a tugging sadness, an inability to let loose and parallel the happiness surrounding me—could not be located on the helpful Sim-esque virtual "click-where-it-hurts" symptom checker. But even if there were a box to be checked, the causations would be pinpointed to familial distress or suppressed trauma, and lumped under the umbrella label of "depression." With a nearly picturesque childhood and a tacit knowledge that depression is not my issue, I'm left with a lingering wistfulness and the guilt of having neither justification for it or ammunition to combat it. This guilt is intensified by what I believe to be a very dangerous modern opinion: to be sad is to be incomplete.
By Erin Calhoun
ecalhoun@kansan.com
Sadness is seen as weakness, and a "personality deficiency" that can simply be carved out
with a smattering of checklists, a cult of self-help books or endless deliberate distractions. Pick your poison. Run until you're sweating so hard you can't dwell on what upsets you—call it "endorphins." Cut out gluten—it's been linked to depression after all—maybe the crazy-eyed lift for a dinner roll will replace your gloom.
The Huffington Post's recent headline "Train Your Body To Be Happy" summarizes this notion quite effectively. Sadness has come to be seen as a blemish in our human nature that we must actively combat in order to "improve" ourselves. There is a frenzy to fill up the emptiness, to stuff down the sadness so deep that it can't resurface. The language of "training" or "tricking" ourselves into a warped mental balance has become commonplace, and frankly I find that the bluest of all.
Call me Sylvia Plath, but I find sadness beautiful. I find it powerful and assuring. Sadness makes us complete beings—it fights against the portrayal of our generation as mindless texters only out to have fun and feel good. Sadness makes us complex—it indicates our ability to look at the world around us in its entirety, to empathize with those similar and distant to ourselves. Sadness is our capacity to notice things in our world we don't like, things that aren't just, things that our society has blindly perpetuated that we believe to be inherently incorrect. Sadness actively opposes ignorance; it is a knowledge that our world exists outside of ourselves and isn't all flowers and rainbows. Sadness is the victorious flag of sensitivity—it marks that we have not been hardened to inequity; that life hasn't ground us into apathetic acceptance of its ills. So I take pride in my melancholy. I don't attempt to expunge it or disguise it with a haphazardy-knit web of idioms. I revel in its ability to give my life and my perception a rich depth of dimension. Take that, WebMD.

PHILANTHROPY
Incentivize charities with for-profit model
Even the most forward-minded people I know cringe at the thought of a charity with a profit margin. Taking a healthy salary off the top of a charity isn't just morally acceptable; it's a damn good idea.
By condemning philanthropists to careers of obscenely low salaries, we damn the industry in one fell swoop. Why would a brilliant young mind with a platinum education start a career with a charity and make next to nothing when they could take a top-tier career path, make ten times as much and donate a fraction of their salary back to the charity that they would have been stuck with in the first place?
We need to incentivize the smartest and best-equipped men and women in our work force to join the philanthropic industry. Giving them a pat on the back and calling them "noble" is a slap to the face. Arguing that someone who professionally helps the needy and unfortunate doesn't deserve proper compensation just doesn't make sense.
What I really don't understand is why we detest anyone making money while helping people, and at the same time accept and even expect wrinkled old men in suits to rake in millions by underpaying their employees and destroying the environment. When the CEO of a soul-sucking, sweatshop regime pulls in a seven-figure salary, no one bats an eye. When the CEO of a charity so much as makes a dime, there's a riot and the Statue of Liberty gets pushed over.
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
It's an antiquated, backward and vaguely puritanical view of what charity should be. Why is it seen as a moral crime to not donate every dollar directly to those in need? Why are charities and business considered completely different? Why does putting some of your profits into advertising and administration make people's toes curl inward?
Overhead is a blessing, not a curse. If it emerges that a charity only spends 50 percent of their funds on their cause, they're vilified and shed donations like dandruff. This shouldn't happen.
By Wil Kenney
wkenney@kansan.com
Before you start sharpening the
FFA OF THE DAY
FFA OF THE DAY
pitchfork for the next witch-hunt, think about what the money they're spending means.
It means that this charity grows each and every year, bringing in millions and millions more to their cause. It means that their services and fundraisers are constantly becoming more efficient and more effective. It means that smart and committed workers are joining their organization and are being paid enough to work full time.
"But it still doesn't feel right," people say. Well, I don't care. People didn't feel right about Heelies and Bowie for a long time, but it was worth it in the end.
A girl fell asleep in the front row with a Red Bull still in hand. Looks like she should have drank it faster!
The Susan G. Komen For the Cure foundation is the perfect example of a well-advertised, merchandised and incredibly effective charity organization. I want to see more charities adopt this model and help turn the non-profit sector into a profitable, for-people sector.
Bucking the stigma against profitable charity will be difficult. It starts with challenging the notion that charity is able to properly function any different from a regular corporation.
Structuring philanthropic organizations like corporations means accountability and competition. I don't just want to Google "charities for X problem" and then throw money at them. I want these companies to show me, the consumer, what they do and in a modern way.
UDK
When charity is no longer seen as an obligation, but instead as just another service—the service of helping others—then we'll know progress has really been made.

Lawrence bar to feature live music on Halloween
PAIGE STINGLEY
pstingley@kansan.com
Come celebrate Halloween at The Bottleneck tonight with The Delta Saints, a bourbon-fueled Bayou rock band from Nashville, Tenn.
MUSIC
The Delta Saints began playing together in 2007, when their three founding members all transferred to Belmont University independently. Ben Rigel, the lead vocalist, transferred to Belmont halfway through his college career.
"By the time you get to your junior year of college, most people have their friend groups figured out," Rigel said. "All three of us were new on campus so we didn't have that established friend group. Music became a common ground for us and that's when we started playing together."
Ben Azzi, drummer, and David Supica, bass player, both transferred from the University of Kansas to Belmont.
Lawrence is like a second home to these guys," said Casey Bridgeman, management assistant for The Delta Saints. "They love coming up here and getting to perform."
The band debuted their first full-length album, "Death Letter Jubilee," in January of this year. The band has also released two EPs, "Pray On" and "A Bird Called Angola."
The Delta Saints have been on
the band will be playing at The Bottleneck tonight, but they are not new to Lawrence. In 2008, they performed their first, unofficial gig at Abe and Jake's Landing, a local Lawrence bar.
Ringel attributed some of the inspiration for their music to famous rock bands including The Black Keys and My Morning Jacket.
"These guys have a great sound, a lot of talent, and they're all around great performers," Bridgeman said. "They've got a triple threat going for them."
The Saints are known for their highly energetic performances and their crowd interaction.
"We're just trying to carve out our own place in the music industry," Rigel said. "We want to play good rock and roll music, so we add our own sort of delta blues-soul-funk influence to it."
"We don't take ourselves too seriously, it's kinda our thing." Rigel said. "We aim to create an environment where people can let their hair down, dance, drink, and enjoy themselves and just relax. That's the main thing we want people to get out of our show."
Doors open tonight at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $9-$11, and are available for all ages. The Delta Saints will follow the opening performance, Middle Twin.

THE HAUNTING OF SIGMA NU
It was nearly midnight when Daniel Brocato, a 2013 graduate from Overland Park, began to smell lavender. He had been sanding a room on the third floor of the Sigma Nu house, preparing it for August when the rest of his brothers would return. Brocato, who was alone in the house, began to feel uneasy and checked the hallway to see if one of his brothers had returned. Nobody was there, so he went back to his work.
After a few minutes, Brocato began to smell the lavender again. He said it smelled like a woman's perfume or a candle.
"If anything, it should smell like sawdust," Brocato, who was a junior at the time, said. "It was very strong and smelled like someone had lit a candle in the room."
Brocato's supernatural incident is one of many ghost stories to unfold in the Sigma Nu fraternity house. Reports of the ghost have been around since the men began to occupy the former governor's mansion.
After checking the empty hallway again, he slammed the door shut and increased the volume on his radio to fill the quiet and to calm his nerves.
Ghost hunters confirmed the following day that Brocato had indeed encountered the ghost of Sigma Nu.

the servant of the former Kansas governor Walter Stubbs. When his wife noticed that Virginia and Stubbs were quite close, she suspected him to be having an affair
with Virginia. Then, he walked into his house on an April day to find her lifeless body hanging in a closet in the third floor. It is unknown whether it was suicide
or murder, but many suspect murder because governor's wife had been angry about their affair. Virginia's body was entombed in the fireplace and eventually the closet was rebuilt into a bedroom, where a few lucky men of Sigma Nu live.
The men of the fraternity know she is around when they smell the scent of lavender. Women who stay the night often find scratchies, courtesy of Virginia, on their backs the following morning.
Brocato's experience was creepy enough for him to call in the professionals. Ghost hunters arrived the next day.

CURRY DOESN'T MEAN HOT!
KU Dining Services welcomed Cafe Spice Indian Cuisine to the Underground in August 2013. The aromas are wonderful and the food is mouth-watering, but there is still some skepticism about Indian food. Yes, Cafe Spice offers curry dishes, but there are others on the menu as well. Not all Indian cuisine is curry and not all curry is Indian cuisine.
Ask the average "man on the street" to define "curry" and the answer will probably be "HOT and SPICY". Before we assume that you can't eat Indian food because it is too spicy, let's look at the history of the word "curry" and shed some light on the spices that are used to enhance the flavors of Indian cuisine.
You can thank Christopher Columbus for introducing chilts seeds to world trade, thus making them an addition to the traditional Indian blend of spices.
The word curry comes from "Kari" from the Tamil language and was later Anglicized into "curry" Curry powder is not a single spice, but rather a combination of spices that generally include coriander, turmeric, and pepper. The blend of spices can range from mild to hot depending on amounts and other additions.
Curry has a different meaning in the Western world than in India. In India, curry refers to a gravy or stew dish, which contains the Indian spice of garam masala along with ginger, chili, cumin, coriander, turmeric and sometimes onion and garlic. The original Indian curry didn't have any peppers in it since chili peppers or red peppers were not native to India.
Curries range from mild, to hot, to "melt your face off" hot, and Café Spice offers a tasty mix of these:
Korma - The mildest of curries, designed for women who were constantly being taken to curry houses by their spicy food-loving boyfriends.
Chicken Tikka Massala - This curry is a good "first-timer" dish, not too exotic but very flavorful.
Curry = Yes, there is a curry called "curry". The flavors are reminiscent of the traditional dish. This falls in the middle of the heat scale.
Madras - Hotter on the heat scale but still not the hottest. If you want to impress your friends without having a five-alarm rage on your tongue, this is the dish for you.
Vindaloo - The famously hot curry.
Vindaloo is a very old and refined recipe whose flavors have been perfected over many years. Add a sweet chutney to this dish to offset the heat and make it even more enjoyable.
So, there you have it. A wide range of heat sources to warm you up from the inside out. Stop by Café Spice in the Underground and ask for a free sample from our knowledgeable staff who can direct you to the dish that is best for you - or hand you a glass of water if you choose poorly.

Rumors,urban legends surround Stull Cemetery
TOM DEHART
tdehart@kansan.com
Stull, located about 10 miles west of Lawrence, is a town so small it feels like it's hiding in plain view. Cars passing on its roads will be in and out of it in less time than it takes to process a full thought. The town consists of a United Methodist Church that appears to have been constructed in recent years, and an old, darkened brick bait shop to the west. Two small houses sit almost adjacent to the church, and across from the south side of the small town there is a cemetery containing tombstones with dozens of German-sounding last names written on them.
Attached to the cemetery gate are multiple signs that read a simple message: "No Trespassing". It's a peculiar sign to be posted on a regular cemetery gate, but Stull isn't commonly defined as "regular". Stull Cemetery has gained a reputation for being the site of supernatural happenings, including associations with the devil.
the occult, and a supposed gateway to hell in the basement of an old church, demolished in 2002, which was supposedly sheltered from rain despite its lack of a roof.
Despite the rumors and urban legends that surround the cemetery, the most activity that has been seen there in recent years are acts of vandalism—hence the trespassing signs and Stull residents' desire to keep outsiders off the property.
"... I would stop people and they would tell me they were just trying to see something scary."

"It used to look a lot spookier than it does now. It had a stone structure adjacent to it, and it used to have some pine trees, but those pine trees died," said Lt. Steve
Lewis, Douglas County Sheriff's Office public information officer. "When I used to patrol out there, I would stop people and they would tell me that they were just trying to see something scary, and I told them they were looking at the scariest thing they were going to see all night, and I charged them with a misdemeanor."
Besides an American flag at the east end of the cemetery, there is a large, bent tree that stands solitary around one of the curves in the looping gravel road around the cemetery's premises. Toward the northeast corner of the small plot of land, the only remnants of the rooftless church are limestone bricks—most of the attractions that once brought people to the cemetery have been removed, and the sight is somewhat disappointing for a day in late October.
The legend has had a surprisingly long legacy for how uneventful the town of Stull truly is.

HAUNTING FROM PAGE 5A
cato said. "There was a chair I had brought in the room. Virginia was sitting in the chair in the room, so that was the smell I had smelled."
After confirmations of supernatural activity, Brocato's incident seemed more real rather than just a nightmare.
"Definitely having ghost hunters in there confirming it put me on edge," he said.
Meg Werner always thought that Cotbin was haunted.
CORBIN HAUNTING
While living in the Corbin residence hall last year, Werner and her friend, Marti Belot, were using a Ouija Board during the Feb. 21 snow day when they were startled by the mirror falling from the wall
"... All of a sudden her mirror just shattered. There was a white orb in front of it."

into a trash room after residents refused to live there.
This orb is believed to be the supposed ghost of Corbin, an unnamed girl who had lived in the residence hall and had taken her life inside of a dorm room. Eventually, her bedroom was converted
Werner's older sister Annie Werner, who had lived in the residence hall seven years ago, had a supernatural experience as well. Hers involved the door that led to the ghost's former room.
"My older sister lived in Corbin too," Werner said. "She lived in 4 South. She was sitting in the living area and the door just shuts, and there was no one in the room."
Despite her experiences, Werner remains skeptical on stories of the Corbin ghost.
"There are all sorts of stories," Werner said. "You never really know what's true."

October has flown by once again and soon the Halloween season will be over. Now what? All that time and effort to come up with the best costume for one night? Consider reliving your costume glory while running a 5K.

"I have a full-body spandex leopard suit from when I was in the musical 'Cats' in high school, so I think I'm going to wear that to intimidate the competition into thinking I am a crazy fast runner," said Sam Benson, a corner from Prairie Village.
KU Endowment is hosting a Halloween 5K on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 8:30 a.m. Costumes are encouraged but not required.
At this 5K, awards will be given to the best costumes. Awards will
be split up by age group and will go to the overall male and female winners. Additional awards will be given to the top three male and top three female winners of each age group.
While the Crimson and Boo 5K keeps the Halloween spirit going throughout the weekend, it also sponsors a good cause. The proceeds for this event will help fund the Student Leadership Award, which is given to students who have made a difference at the University.
"I think one of the biggest differences is that 100 percent of the proceeds go to students," said Sarah Morris, president of the Student Endowment Board.

SPOOKY THRILLS
Kansas City haunted houses sure to scare
KELSEY BARRETT
kbarrett@kansan.com
Full Moon Productions hosts its 39th season in the haunted house scene located in the West Bottoms of Kansas City, Mo. There are four main attractions: The Beast, The Edge of Hell, Macabre Cinema and The Chambers of Edgar Allan Poe, each offering something different to a thrill-seeking audience. The Travel Channel featured the haunted houses in their Best Halloween Attractions 2013 list because of the unique experiences they offer.

ART BY COLE ANNEBERG
Why: The Beast is America's largest haunted house, according to the Full Moon website, and supplies entertainment inside and out as dancers performing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and a headless horseman greet visitors on their way in. Inside, it incorporates an open format to throw visitors right into the action. Instead of a single-file line, people are free to roam around at their own risk. Included is a werewolf forest that simulates the situation of being stranded alone in a dark forest.
When, and if, those brave enough reach the end, a four-story slide serves as the grand exit.
What: The Edge of Hell
When:
iursdays and Sundays: 7:30 p.m. to
12:30 a.m.
Fridays and Saturdays: 7:30 p.m. to
1:30 a.m.
Oct. 28-31: 7:30 p.m. to indefinite time
*Last weekend: November 8-9
Where:
1300 W. 12th St. Kansas City, Mo.
Why: The Edge of Hell is the oldest haunted house in Kansas City, having been in operation since 1975. A group of 45 live performers spread out throughout the five-story building to haunt visitors using the element of surprise. In addition to the roaming terrors, it is also home to Medusa — featured in the Guinness World Records 2013 as the longest snake ever in captivity at more than 25 feet. She perches in her corner watching over those who pass through. The experience ends with a five-story slide as a performer masquerading as a devil waits to send participants on their way.
What: Macabre Cinema
Fridays 8 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Saturdays: 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.
*Last weekend: Oct. 25-27, open on
Halloween from 8 p.m. to an indefinite
time
When:
Where:
1222 W. 12th St. Kansas City, Mo.
Why: Macabre Cinema is an attraction centered on pop culture. Its open format recreates
more than 30 scenes from 1930s horror movies. For those wondering how they would survive in a horror film, now is the chance. A dungeon awaits at the end for the brave-hearted.
What: The Chambers of Edgar Allan Poe
...
When:
Fridays: 8 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Saturdays: 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.
*Last weekend: Oct. 25-27, open on
Halloween from 8 p.m. until an indefinite time
Where:
Where:
1100 Santa Fe St. Kansas City, Mo.
**wny:** The Chambers of Edgar Allan Poe draws upon the spooky essence of Poe's works, such as "The Raven," "The House of Usher" and "The Black Cat." It brings to life many components of the poems for visitors to experience. This one allows participants to "Experience the feelings of being buried alive, suffocating, or claustrophobia to the extreme," according to the website.

COMMENTARY Jayhawks poised to win Big 12
M
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
The last time the layhawks began the season as something other than
the reigning Big 12 champs, "tweeting" was something only a bird did and Andrew Wiggins was in the fourth grade. We've held three presidential elections in that span and watched George Mason, VCU, Butler and Wichita State go to five more Final Fours than Missouri in its entire history.
In other words, a lot has happened since 2004.
And before the now much older Andrew Wiggins committed to Self and Kansas back in April, the streak of nine consecutive regular season championships seemed to be in jeopardy. Oklahoma State returned the bulk of last year's team, including future top-5 NBA draft pick Marcus Smart.
But Wiggins' arrival put the spotlight and target back on Lawrence — if they had even left to begin with. There are still question marks for the Jayhawks heading into the season opener next Friday against Louisiana-Monroe, but here are six reasons why a 10th straight Big 12 title banner will be hung in Allen Fieldhouse next fall.
The aforementioned Wiggins: The best amateur player in the world could lead a lot of teams to conference titles. But on a team with this much talent around him? It's a lock.
Bill Self: In the last 10 seasons,
Self has brought Kansas more Big
12 regular season championships
(nine) than home losses (eight),
which leads us to...
Allen Fieldhouse: When opponents can't expect Kansas to lose a conference game at home, their window of opportunity is already small. In Bill Self's tenure the Jayhawks are 161-8, winning over 95 percent of games in the Phog.
The Youngsters Will Be Ready: The non conference schedule is brutal this season, which should lead to a few early losses. But by the time January rolls around, all those freshmen in the lineup will have enough big-game experience (Duke, Florida, Georgetown and New Mexico, to name a few), to handle the 18-game Big 12 schedule.
Balance: Andrew Wiggins (small forward), Wayne Selden (shooting guard) and Joel Embiid (center) are all projected to be top-10 NBA draft picks next summer, and all three will spend plenty of time together on the court. A team capable of slowing one part of the trio down likely won't have the weapons to stop the others.
Versatility: There are enough lineup possibilities to give opposing coaches nightmares. We could see a small lineup that looks something like: Naadir Tharpe, Wayne Selden, Andrew White III, Andrew Wiggins and Perry Ellis. Self could also throw a big lineup on the court that is just as dangerous: Selden, Wiggins, Brannen Greene, Tarik Black, and Joel Embiid. There isn't a defense in the country that could stop both of those groups.
This team is built for a Final Four run, and anything less would be a disappointment. But Self and his players take a sense of pride in continuing the streak of Big 12 dominance, as they should. And there is nothing standing between this team and title number 10.

Jayhawks win easily in first home game of the season

STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
The Jayhawks found themselves with a comfortable 21-point lead after a dizzying, explosive run to start the second half that included two layups by Chelsea Gardner and was capped by Lamaria Cole's emphatic coast-to-coast layout. Featuring a lineup filled mostly with new faces and seldom-used players from last season, the women's basketball team cruised to an 85-54 exhibition victory against the Pittsburg State Gorillas.
Without Carolyn Davis, who graduated last season, garnering most of the attention in the paint, Gardner, a junior forward, proved she could control the game down low. She put up an 18-point, 11-rebound effort to lead the Jayhawks to victory. She added three blocks in 28 minutes.
At halftime,

nature. Cole, a sophomore point guard who had limited minutes last season, started and had 12 points and three assists. Cole is known for her speed. While usually a positive, sometimes she plays out of control and loses the ball.
"She really can fly." Henrickson said. "Sometimes that's too fast, but the one she got in the first half, she started in front of me and I could see that no one was in front of her. It didn't take her long to get there."
The Jayhawks defeated the Pittsburg State Gorillas 85-54 in an exhibition game at home last Oct. 30.
"Overall, a lot of good stuff for us to see on film."
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Junior Asia Boyd was an efficient 5-7 from the field for 15 points. She also had seven rebounds in her 30-minute outing. Senior Ccee Harper had 10 points.
"I think I'm a little more confident," Boyd said. "Coach Bonnie is a little more confident, which makes it easier too."
burg State forward Lizzy Jeronimus tried to match the layhawk run with two baskets of her own. She was overshadowed by the offensive efficiency of Kansas, and the Gorillas didn't make another run the rest of the night.
Other returning players also contributed to the effort. Junior Natalie Knight played in her first game since tearing her ACL last season. With a brace on her knee, she contributed seven points, six rebounds

Jayhawks dominate Baylor Bears at Horejsi
KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS
BLAIR SHEADE
bsheade@kansan.com
The Jayhawks (17-5, 7-2) dominated the Baylor Bears (11-14, 3-6) 25-14, 25-13, 25-15 last night at the Horeisi Athletic Center.
In the first set, where Kansas won 25-14, senior setter Erin McNorton recorded nine assists. Those nine assists pushed her over the 1,000 assists mark this season. McNorton ended the night with 30 assists, which was her season low.
"Erin was connecting with her attackers all night and just to have six hitting errors in three sets was pretty astonishing," coach Ray Bechard said.
McNorton shrugged off her accomplishment last night. 1,000 assists was just cool, she said.
"It's cool, but we're in the middle of the season," McNorton said. "Those things will hit me later on when we're done and where we head this year."
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Kansas volleyball players were pleased with their performance, beating the Baylor Bears at home and moving to 17-5 overall.
ton's sets was redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, who led the team with 14 kills and seven came within the first set. Jarmoc's 14 kills had a lot to do with McNorton and her relationship on the court.
The jayhawks had .451 hitting percentage last night, which was just the second time this season that Kansas hit over .400. McNorton takes a lot of pride in a high team hitting percentage because it means she was setting the ball well.
"I think it helps that we're opposites," McNorton said. "I'm kind of quiet and shy and she is in my face, and I like that."
"I helped facilitate it, but I had confidence in my hitters the whole time," McNorton said. "I don't think there were many errors. I had a little to do with it, but it was a whole team effort."
Jarmoc and McNorton help each other a lot during the game.
A frequent recipient of McNor
["Jarmoc] helps me a lot blocking wise," McNorton said. "Whenever you see me mess up on a block, she'll look at me and tell me what I'm doing wrong, and I love that about her."
This on-court relationship is a two-way street. McNorton tells Jarmoc about how to improve her hitting.
"Erin is very open to criticism." Jarmoc said. "She's great at pointers, if I need a ball higher or lower, and she has great adjustments. I think we work very well together."
McNorton doesn't just set the ball; she can block and dig as well. McNorton recorded two blocks and four digs tonight. Her two blocks, one was sole, were second on the team.
"Every team tries to challenge her [McNorton] and tries to see what she's got." Bechard said. "If we have an Achilles, some teams think it's when Erin is at the net blocking, but she held her own tonight."
Jarmoc had two blocks of her own
last night, which moved her into second in Big 12 history for career sole blocks. Jarmoc surpassed Texas A&M's Amber Woolsey. This was the second consecutive match where Jarmoc set a record. Last week, she set the all-time career block record against Iowa State.
"This is a testament to my hard work," jarmoc said. "Blocking is
a skill that is underrated and not as big of a glory as attacking, so it takes a lot of work and it's great to get the numbers."
The Jayhawks backed the first set with a 25-13 victory, and the 11-point margin was the largest during big 12 Conference play this season. Then, finished the Bears off with a third set 25-15 win to swept
the Baylor Bears.
Coming off the loss to Iowa State, coach Bechard thinks that the team had something to prove every time they play and needed gain respect across the country.
"We wanted to bounce back, and we certainly played well," Bechard said.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"When we come in the game, we change the pace, we change the tempo, and we change the outlook of what we do."

FACT OF THE DAY
The Lakers improved to 5-0 on season openers without Kobe Bryant in the lineup.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Who was the last Kansas basketball player to be drafted number one overall in the NBA?
A. Danny Manning, 1988 to the Clippers
NBA.com
THE MORNING BREW
Jayhawks succeed in the NBA
Kansas Basketball is overrated. Great, now that I have your attention, I would like to talk about an actual season tip-off that occurred this past Tuesday, the NBA season tip-off. No, exhibition games do not count towards your regular season record; therefore, basketball season here in Lawrence has not officially started. Now that I got that off my chest, Tuesday's NBA tip-off consisted of a lot of interesting, yet positive, headlines surrounding former Kansas basketball players, that should be noted.
XAVIER HENRY,
THE LAKERS SAVIOR?
Making a Lakers debut for the ages, this Kansas alum came off the bench for the purple and gold and scored a career, and game high, 22 points. Especially while Kobe Bryant is rehabbing his torn Achilles tendon, Henry could possibly be a crucial part to the Lakers success early on in the season. His improved shooting ability, and his big, athletic body, are the perfect tools that Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni, looks for when assembling a team.
The excitement and energy that Henry,

MARIO CHALMERS,
THE DEFENSIVE ANIMAL
along with the rest of the Lakers bench, brought onto the court Tuesday to defeat the Clippers are something that will be needed on a consistent basis throughout the entire season, even when Bryant returns. Henry was also one of five Lakers to come off the bench and score double digits. While grabbing six rebounds, and knocking down a trio of three pointers, his presence was definitely felt, as the Lakers score 15 more points than the Clippers when he was on the floor.
The 2008 National Championship hero made sure to put the most anticipated return
to the NBA since Jordans comeback on hold by completely shutting down Derek Rose Tuesday night. To compliment his five steals, Chalmers also held Rose to 12 points on 4-15 shooting, while forcing Rose to commit five turnovers as well. And did you see that crossover Norris Cole had on Rose? Once, Rose literally fell to the ground. I guarantee that Bulls fans had a slight heart attack, hoping their pri
possession did not suffer another injury.
But all the Derek Rose news aside, if Chalmers is able to keep up the defensive ability that he showed on Tuesday, the Heat are going to have a tough time finding another team that will be able to challenge them in the Eastern Conference. Although his offensive skill-set may not be where people anticipated, that is alright, because Cole can have the responsibility to score the ball, if Chalmers can do all of the defensive work.
THE NEW GUYS
As the 7th and 39th pick of this past year's draft, Ben McLemore and Jeff Withey will look to contribute early to their teams. McLemore will most likely be starting for the
THE BREW
Sacramento Kings, who are in desperate need of a star, something McLemore can provide for that franchise. His shooting ability and athleticism are going to make him a possible candidate for the Rookie of the Year award. Although Withey will not see as much playing time
as McLemore, his defensive contributions to the New Orleans Pelicans are going to be essential if they want to become a possible playoff team. His time on the floor might be limited due to the crowded frontcourt the Pelicans currently have, but he will provide a much needed depth to a weak bench.
One thing that coach Bill Self has traditionally done a good job of, is making his players "NBA ready." Judging by the talent of former Jayhawks, and where they stand in the NBA now, I think it is safe to say that McLemore and Withey won't have much trouble making the transition. Oh, and side note, I do not think that Kansas Basketball is overrated.

DANIEL HARMSEN
dharmsen@kansan.com
This weekend hosts Championship Saturday for the Kansas cross country teams. Both the men's and women's teams will be competing in the 2013 Big 12 Cross Country Championship on Nov. 2 in Waco, Texas at the Cottonwood Golf Course. The event is hosted by the Baylor Bears.
The men's team looks to follow up on a strong effort from the Indiana
State Pre-National meet, where they finished 14th out of 52 teams. The Jayhawks finished close behind fellow Big 12 schools Oklahoma State (7th place), and Oklahoma (9th place), and finished ahead of fellow Big 12 schools Texas Tech (22nd place) and Baylor (49th place).
having strong races last year.
The 2012 team took 4th place last year at the Championship in Austin, Texas. Senior Josh Munsch and juniors Reid Buchanan and Evan Landes will lead the Jayhawks after
The women's team will focus their efforts on pack running after a 36th place finish in Terre Haute, Ind. They finished behind Oklahoma State (20th place), Kansas State (30th place) and Baylor (31st place). Sophomore Hannah Richardson has had an excellent season so far and will lead the women along with senior Natalie Becker. The women came in 7th place at the Big 12 Championship last year.
The top men's and women's teams will be crowned the league champion, and the top 15 individuals in each race will be named all-conference.
On the men's side, the Oklahoma State Cowboys look to defend their throne for the sixth consecutive year.

Senior Josh Munsch prepares for final collegiate run
KUSAKA
309
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
senior Josh Munsch competes in Lawrence's Rim Rock Classic on Oct. 5. Munsch will compete in his final Big 12 Championship event this weekend.
DANIEL HARMSEN
dharmsen@kansan.com
In the next few months, senior Josh Munsch, a design major and Kansas cross country runner, will be approaching his college finish line at graduation in excellent academic standing, and ready to see what the real world has in store for him.
But this Saturday he'll get to enjoy one of his childhood passions, maybe for the final time.
After he crosses the 8k finish line in Waco, Texas, at the Big 12 Championships in a few days, Munsch will close one chapter of his life that is particularly dear to the Hays native: he'll be running one of his final races in a Kansas Cross Country uniform.
...
For the normal college student at Kansas, the nights likely involve copious amounts of alcohol, cheap, greasy food and rash, regrettable decisions. However, Josh Munsch is not your normal college student.
Munsch is taking ibuprofen and water early on a November morning, but for a different reason. Instead of using painkillers for hangovers, he uses them for his 3rd metatarsal, fractured on a run a few days before the 2012 season. Instead of getting ready for bed, at 5 in the morning, Munsch is getting up and ready for the Big 12 Championships.
For as long as he can remember, Munsch has had an affinity, and a unique talent for running. He remembers the small elementary school gym that sparked the passion.
"My earliest memory of running goes back to my fourth grade year," he said. "We were doing the presidential fitness testing and I broke the 4th grade record."
...
It only made Munsch hungrier.
It only made Munsch. "I started taking running seriously in high school," Munsch said. "I began to realize that I could potentially run in college, so I made that my goal."
Smashing school records like pumpkins, Munsch led the Hays High Indians to 2010 WAC, regional and state championship, all the while being named a member of the National Honor Society, Academic All-State Team and is a Kansas Honor Scholar.
"It blew me away," Munsch said. "I had my mind made up before the visit was over."
It was safe to say that Munsch was going to be successful on and off the cross country course when he made it to college. So he made a trip up to Lawrence for his first visit and he kind of liked it.
Doubling on the Kansas Cross Country and Track teams, Munsch had early success in Lawrence. In cross country, he competed in five meets as a freshman and notched two top-10 finishes. And in track he competed in the mile at the Big
...
12 Indoor Championships and placed ninth with a time of 4:08.86. His sophomore year was much of the same. He ran his personal best 8K time (25:10.2) at the Big 12 Championships and was named Academic All-Big 12 First Team. His mile time came down by a second at the Big 12 Indoor Championships for a seventh place finish.
During the outdoor season, he was added to the All-American Honorable Mention list after finishing 22nd in the 1,500 meters at the NCAA championship.
On a run just a few days before his junior season, Munsch planted his foot on some unstable footing and suddenly felt a stinging sensation.
"From that point, I couldn't put that foot down without feeling pain," Munsch said.
All his hard work and dedication was going to be put on hold, and his junior and senior season hinged on how well the rehab would go.
"There's really not a lot you can do but stay off it," Munsch said. "The foot is obviously a difficult area to deal with because you're always putting weight on it, especially in this sport."
With so much early success, Munsch was poised for a memorable junior and senior campaign.
Having something you worked for your whole life taken away so suddenly, so unceremoniously, would discourage most, but Munch persevered.
--an unrelenting will to compete once again, Munsch was back for four races that year. And he was faster.
Through rigorous training, and
Munsch ran last year's Big 12 Championship 8k in 24:57.4 and was part of a team that earned All-Academic status.
...
Josh Munsch has had a very successful encore performance this year, running his best 8k in 24.20.30 at the Indiana State Pre-Nationals. He leads a KU Men's team that is one of the best in recent memory.
"We have good leadership with Munsch," head coach Stanley Redwine said. "When you start to put those types of people in front of your freshmen and making sure that they compete well together, then our leaders are doing well for the team."
Munsch works hard on the trails and in the classroom, and he has an uncanny knack for showing his best at the Big 12 Championships. Like that fateful gym period in the fourth grade, this Saturday will be a big day for the Kansan in so many ways.
"I have a ton of great memories from my time running cross," Munsch said. "Fortunately it's not over yet and I'm hoping to make even greater ones. I'll get back to you on that."

Red Sox win World Series, defeating Cardinals in six games
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox romped to their third World Series championship in 10 seasons, thumping October ace Michael Wacha and the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 Wednesday night in Game 6.
Shane Victorino drove in four
runs and John Lackey pitched shut- out ball into the seventh inning as the Red Sox clinched a crown on their own field for the first time since 1918.
Ortie drew three walks and scored twice. He reached base a whopping 19 times in 25 plate appearances.
Lackey gave up one run in 6 2-3 innings, becoming the first pitch
er to start and win a World Series clincher for two different teams, having led the Angels past Barry Bonds and the Giants in Game 7 in 2002 as a rookie.
Stephen Drew hit a solo home run that someone in a Red Sox jacket caught in the bullpen. Mike Napoli, back in the lineup with Ortiz returning to the DH slot, hit an
RBI single into the "B Strong" cutout in the grass that pays tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.
wtn the Prudential tower lit up with "Go Sox," fans filed past increased a beefed-up security presence. Vendors outside the gates urged Red Sox rooters to buy extra programs because they could someday be valuable souvenirs. Signs on the videoboard advised
or late-night changes to the public transportation system.
The Cardinals dropped their third straight game. After winning Game 3 on an obstruction call, they couldn't seem to get out of their own way.
All around the ballpark and beyond, it was clear Boston was on the brink of something special.
Carlton Fisk, still worshipped at Fenway for that winning home run in '75, got right into the spirit that has taken over these Red Sox — before his toss, the Hall of Famer put on a playful beard.

Kansas plays Oklahoma for last tournament spot

The goal is simple for the soccer team—win. If the Kansas soccer team does not beat, or tie, the Oklahoma Sooners in its last regular season match on Friday, the season will be over. Kansas (6-10-2, 1-5-1) sits in eighth place, out of nine, in the conference, and opponent Oklahoma (4-12-1, 1-6) is at the bottom of the stands.
The Big 12 Tournament, which will start on Nov. 6, accepts the top eight teams in the league. Kansas and Oklahoma will be playing for the last spot in their matchup on Friday. The tournament will be held at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Mo. For the last 16 years, the tournament has been played in San Antonio.
Kansas heads into this match on a two-game losing streak where it has not scored a goal. In conference play, the Jayhawks have been out-scored 7-2, with both goals coming from their victory against Baylor.
The Sooners have not fared any better. Their lone conference win was against TCU on Oct. 18. However, they come in with some momentum from their last game, which was a hard-fought, double-overtime loss to conference leader West Virginia.
On their senior night, the Sooners kept West Virginia scoreless in the first half and struck first on a goal from junior forward Daisy Cardona in the second half. West Virginia tied the game up midway through the second half and eventually scored the game-winner in the 101st minute of the match.
Cardona leads the team in goals with five. Redshirt freshman Kassie Stade has 67 saves for the season and a .698 save percentage.
Fridays matchup is also senior
night for the Jayhawks. The game will be the last home match for forward Caroline Kastor and defenders Madi Hillis and Shannon Renner. Kastor currently leads the team with six goals. Her 26 career goals put her in a tie for second place on Kansas' all-time goal scoring chart. If the team avoids a loss, the se>
son will continue. Kansas hosts Oklahoma Friday at 3 p.m. The match will be the last home game held at Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Next season, the team will move to Rock Chalk Park when it's completed.

Lamaria Cole shines in on-court debut against Pittsburg State

PETER E.
guard spot for the women's basketball team would likely be hers to lose.
Cole
If she had any nerves Wednesday night in her first career start, she didn't show it. Cole, a sophomore guard, shone in an 85-54 victory against Pittsburg State in an exhibition game at Allen Fieldhouse. Cole said she was excited about starting.
"Going from not playing at all to playing a lot more, I was excited," Cole said.
Cole came out with high energy and scored on a driving layup on the Jayhawks' second possession of the game. Two possessions later, she cut to the basket and scored on an assist from Asia Boyd - starting an 8-0 run early in the game for the Jayhawks.
"Last year I didn't play under control at all." Cole said. "After watching Angel [Goodrich] and seeing how she controls the floor, I learned a lot."
One of the biggest questions with Cole coming into this season was her ability to handle the basketball. In her 45 total minutes played as a freshman, Cole had 16 turnovers. That averages out to just under one turnover for every three minutes she was on the floor last season. Against Pittsburg State, she ran the offense effectively, turning the ball over only three times in 26 minutes on the floor while recording three assists.
"While waiting her turn, she's developed discipline," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "It has allowed her to be successful tonight, and it will be the reason she has success [in the future]."
Towards the end of the first half Cole went coast-to-coast after a missed free throw by Pittsburg State's Lizzy Jeronimus. Cole forced an inbound violation on the Gorillas after a basket by Markisha Hawkins and, on the next possession for Kansas, scored on another coast-to-coast drive to
the basket, showing her quickness by sidestepping a defender. She finished the game with 12 points on 6-for-12 shooting, joining four other jayhawks in double figures.
"Man, she's fast," Pittsburg State coach Lane Lord said. "I thought she took care of the ball very well and I thought she really harassed us all night long. She had a great first start."
Cole came out hot to start the second half for the Jayhawks as well. She scored on the Jayhawks' first possession and then drove the lane and dished the ball to Chelsea Gardner for an easy layup.
After a missed shot by the Gorillas, Cole once again went coast-to-coast for two points. After the basket, Pittsburgh State called a timeout, and Cole looked to the fans and let out a yell of passion.
"I thought for [Lamaria] to push in transition and take care of the ball was good," Henrickson said. "She has the speed and athleticism that we need in this league to be successful."
Kansas plays its final exhibition game against Emporia State on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 2 p.m.

Stowers talks road games, defense and stadium shock
Junior defensive lineman Keon Stowers (98) walks onto the field with teammates junior linebacker Ben Heeney (31), junior quarterback Jake Heaps (9) and senior running back James Sims (29) before the Oct. 26 football game against Baylor.
CHRIS HYBL chybl@kansan.com
On a gloomy day in Lawrence, Kansas defensive lineman Keon Stowers sat in a room overlooking Memorial Stadium at a round table of reporters and gave his most definitive answer of the day. He was asked if talking about getting an upset each week ever got old.
"No." Stowers said.
As a captain this year, Stowers has been asked a similar question each week. The Jayhawks have been largely unfavored, for good reason, against each conference opponent this season and their fifth conference matchup at Texas this weekend is no different. Texas is currently favored by 28 points.
"We're going to keep working until it happens, so it will never get old." Stowers said.
What is getting older is the streak of consecutive Big 12 losses and road games. The Big 12 losing streak stands at 25 games. The road game losing streak is at 21. The Big 12 losing streak dates back to 2010, while the road game streak extends back to 2009. That's old.
But what doesn't get old for Stowers is going on the road, and this week, Stowers is ready for the opportunity to end both.
"I definitely like road games. It's good to go on the road just to get that different feel from being at home," Stowers said. "You can get a better energetic feel from the crowd, not saying we don't have a good crowd, but you get to actually see another setting and it has its positives and negatives"
The road may just have as many positives as it does negatives for Kansas. With losses abundant home and abroad, can Kansas really say it has a home field advantage? Kansas has lost by an average of more than 32 points per game against conference opponents at home this year. It's not a glaring advantage.
What road trips can be for Kansas is a break, a hiatus, something different, a switch up. It's why Charlie Weis is even switching up the road trip routine this week. Kansas is leaving a day early to complete its walkthrough at Texas instead of the usual walkthrough performed in Lawrence before the trip.
It could even help players like Stowers get the "tourist" part of the trip out of the way.
"Last year I would go on some of these road trips and see these stadiums and be like, 'Oh my God, I'm playing at Oklahoma' and all these other big stadiums," Stowers said. "That's just another thing to be intimidated by; the name of the school rather than the actual play of the players, so I think that plays a factor into road games in addition to the travels and being out of your element."
Although Kansas will be out of its home element, they will be more comfortable on defense. Ben Heeney is back on the depth chart for the Jayhawks. Heeney, Kansas' most valuable defensive asset, was sidelined just over two weeks ago
against TCU, but is set to return for the Jayhawks against a run-oriented Longhorn team that is undefeated in conference play.
"You can't replace a guy like Ben with his tenacious attitude and work ethic. You just can't replace a guy like that," Stowers said. "Looking over my shoulder yesterday and seeing number 31 definitely made me feel better."
Heeney will definitely help, but he alone can't push Kansas over the edge. It will take more than Heeney to shed an ugly pair of 20-plus losing streaks.
"I think the whole thing with us being on the big stage, going to Texas" stadium with almost 100,000 people and being able to pull off this upset can be used as a sort of fire to get us going." Stowers said.
The storyline is the same, Kansas is a huge underdog. How big does the fire have to be?

STARTING LINEUP
The Jayhawk offense, which has failed to make big plays all season, goes against a Texas defense on Saturday that is currently 50th in points allowed. Kansas, who will roll out Jake Heaps and Montell Cozart, looks to spread the ball a little more as Cozart is still learning the ropes of running the offense. James Sims has had 180 rushing yards the last three games, but as teams adjust to the gameplan in the 2nd half, things have gone sour. Look for Kansas to establish the run early once again against a Texas defense, who notably struggled against the run earlier in the season. Last year against Texas, Sims had one of his best career days, rushing for 176 yards.
OFFENSE
DEFENSE
The defense, coming off a slaughtering at the hands of Baylor, faces an entirely different brand of football-a much more run-oriented team and not as spread out as it faced last week. Texas uses three running backs, but Malcom Brown and Jonathan Gray do most of the damage. Case McCoy, the Texas quarterback, since taking over for an injured David Ash, has flourished, but Kansas gets Ben Heeney back this week. Heeney will be imperative as he tries to anchor a run defense that has given up 249 yards per game over the last three games.

PREDICTION FOR KANSAS 45-13 TEXAS KANSAS
QUESTION MARKS
Can the Jayhawks string some passes together to make the future feel somewhat secure? Developing a quarterback for next year is the one thing that can be focused on until season's end. And if Weis has some gem in Cozart or can morph Heaps into something, then that's be worth a whole lot. There may have been some short flashes, but nothing to proclaim that you have the next Todd Reesing.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Matthew Wyman has missed one field goal and two extra points the last two games. Special teams could become crucial if Kansas can stay in it. Kansas has to find another way to score with their offense not being a reliable source, and their return game provides that chance as it does every week.
AT A GLANCE
Mack Brown is 8-0 versus Kansas and Charlie Weis is just 0-1 against Texas in last year's battle that came down to the last two minutes. A win versus Texas would be a pretty big accomplishment considering Kansas hasn't beaten Texas since the before the start of World War I.
MOMENTUM
Kansas is coming off a drubbing, but I don't think it matters much especially with this team's circumstances. It has shown that the past week doesn't affect them drastically, but a win would do absolute wonders.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Against one the best running tandems in the Big 12 Ben Heeney will have to be a driving force against Texas. Heeney was out for the Baylor game and should make a noticeable difference this week. Heeney has 51 tackles on the year.
COACHING
Weis said that he worked with the receivers about being more physical and that it has paid dividends so far. We saw a little last week with Rodriguez Coleman breaking through, but that progress needs to be carried through each game. It will be the focal point to see if Kansas can get any big plays from their wide receiving corps.
BABY JAY CHEERS
Jake Heaps and Montell Cozart make some form of progress. Cozart is still in the premature stages, while Heaps can't catch a break behind the shaky offensive line. But if Cozart can patrol a legitimate drive, that should make at least a few Jayhawk fans crack a little smile.

TEXAS
STARTING LINEUP
OFFENSE
Case McCoy is 4-0 as starting quarterback of the Longhorns this season as he replaces David Ash, who has been out with a concussion for more than a month. The Texas offense is built around the run. The Longhorns are third in the Big 12 in averaging 200 rushing yards a game, with several running backs capable of busting a big play.
DEFENSE
Defensive coordinator Gregg Robinson was hired after the BYU game on Sept. 7 to replace Manny Diaz, who had been fired. In the last four games Texas has become a more aggressive defense under Robinson. The Longhorns are sixth in the FBS with 16 sacks in the last four games.

BY THE NUMBERS
16 The number of sacks the Texas defense has in the last four weeks.
10 The number of big play touchdowns (45 yards or longer) that Texas has this season between eight players.
3 The number of turnovers that Texas forced leading to scores last week against TCU.
Edited by Madison Schultz
QUESTION MARKS
Will Texas come out looking motivated early after being shown the video of last season's near loss at Memorial Stadium?
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF
The Longhorns take an early lead. If that happens, then it would be difficult for the Jayhawks to make much of a comeback against the good defense, and strong running game of Texas.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Mack Brown has been the coach of the Longhorns for 15 years now, and during that time they have been known for blocking kicks. Last season, Texas was third in the FBS with seven blocked kicks, and since 2001 the Longhorns have blocked more than any other team.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jonathan Gray is 5-foot-11 and weighs 208 pounds. He has the ability to turn any play into a big run and has rushed 90 yards or more in five of the Longhorns' seven games this season.
Texas plays the same style of football as the Kansas. Mack Brown has one of the Big 12's best running backs and a solid defense.The Longhorns defense could make it a rough day for both Kansas quarterbacks.
AT A GLANCE
COACHING
Mack Brown could be in his last season as the coach at Texas with athletic director DeLoss Dodds leaving, but that seems less certain the more that Texas wins this season. Brown made a risky move changing his defensive coordinator after the second game of the season, but the Longhorns have become a much more effective.
MOMENTUM
Texas has a lot of it, as it has rolled to convincing victories in all four of its Big 12 games, after an ugly nonconference performance.
