Architecture students begin construction on Marvin Hall Forum

Marvin Hall will have a sleek new addition by the end of the school year thanks to a group of dedicated students.
Studio 804, a year-long architecture class in which students design and construct a building themselves, is in the early stages of constructing the Forum, an addition to the second floor of Marvin Hall.

The Forum will be a glass structure that will serve as a commons area for the building and has room for a 120-seat presentation, creating much-needed space for the School of Architecture.
"I think the biggest concern when deciding to build this was that you have a school of architecture that has to provide so many courses and Marvin Hall does not have the space to do it," said Dan Rockhill, the architecture professor who advises Studio 804. "Students have to leave studio for a class, so just
It will be the third project Studio 804 has constructed for the University. The others are the Center for Design Research and the Hill Engineering Research and Development Center on West Campus. The Forum will extend from the second floor of Marvin, supported by concrete columns, and it will feature a two-layered glass exterior that will allow the building to stay cool or warm when needed. The state-of-the-art exterior is being designed with the help of Transolar, a German-based façade consultant.
Dean of the School of Architecture John Gaunt said these features, in addition to the complexities of Marvin Hall's old structure, make the Forum a more difficult project than the classes have built in the past.
Construction on the $2 million project is expected to be finished in May or June of 2014, and the School of Architecture is working
To create space for the Forum, students in the class have begun demolishing the Builder's Yard, the steel and concrete structure behind Marvin Hall and one of the class's first projects nearly 20 years ago.
"I think at the scale and the sophistication of this is unique among schools of architecture," he said. "It's demanding, and it takes a mix of very dedicated students and faculty to do this kind of thing."
with KU Endowment to raise private funding. Gaunt expects the students, many of whom are taking 19 hours of classes, to be exhausted by the time the Forum is built, but he said the unique experience will be worth their effort.
"By commencement, these students will certainly be sleep deprived, and that's no joke." Gaunt said. "They're working 16- and 18-hour days, but that's irrelevant in
having the Forum as an anchor for students to stay in Marvin is a big positive."

New tax cuts save students money

STATE SALES AND RETAIL TAXES
Comparing October 2012 to this year, Kansans saved $39 million in individual income taxes.
The Kansas Department of Revenue issued a press release Thursday announcing that Kansans are receiving "real tax relief for the first time in decades."
Jeannine Koranda, public information officer at the Kansas Department of Revenue, said in an email that this tax relief affects everyone in Kansas who pays taxes, including students.
2.9% 6.15% 4.22%
4.5%
If students are earning a paycheck where income tax is taken out, then they will be paying less in taxes and pocketing more of the money they have earned, Koranda said.
Compared with surrounding states, Kansas' personal income taxes are roughly in the middle and Kansas has the highest state sales taxes.
Koranda said students are also saving money through lower sales taxes, which affects even students who don't work in Kansas.

University students living on campus can expect plenty of visitors in the near future. College delegates from across the midwest will be on campus next fall for a collaborative effort to improve student life within the setting of campus housing.

MACURH, or the Midwest Affiliate of College and University Residence Hallis, is an organization made up of students involved in student housing at midwest colleges. The University won the bid to host the 2014 MACURH conference from Oct. 28 - Nov. 1, edging the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The decision was announced at the 2013 MACURH conference, which took place at Saint Louis University from Oct. 25 - 27.

- 400 representatives from over 30 schools are expected to attend the conference next year.
Eight University students (from left to right) Kaitlin McAlexander, Katie Gerard, Austin Keehn, Luke Maxfield, Brock Duran, Laura Wehmeier, Taylor Hanna and Skylar Johnson, won the bid to bring the popular college housing conference, MACURH, to campus next fall for its 2014 conference.
Sophomore nursing student Laura Wehmeir is vice-chair of the 2014 MACURH conference. Wehmeier explained many criteria are considered when picking a college to host the conference, but believes the enthusiasm and excitement of her peers that represent the school set it apart.
The benefits for the eight University students who have worked to bring MACURH to campus have not only been professional, they've been personal.
"We've all become extremely good friends throughout the process. We're very close to one another," Wehmeir said.
Those attending the conference will network and participate in team building exercises with others involved in student housing from around the midwest. Much of the conference will involve 'programming sessions' where attendees will brainstorm and share ideas for programs that improve student social and academic life.
Wehmeier shared a program called "The Game of YOLO" which helps keep students safe by educating them about alcohol awareness and other hazards college students face. One activity in the program has students in residence halls play Mario Kart while texting to simulate the real-life dangers of texting and driving. Delegates who learn about these programs at MACURH conferences are free to implement the programs at their own universities.
Taylor Hanna, a junior majoring in applied behavioral science and the conference chair for the 2014 MACURH conference, looks forward to hosting. He greatly a great, honor
"It's really a great honor
for KU. It's just something every KU student can take pride in," Hanna said.
The MACURH conference is a rare opportunity for the school to show all it has to offer to representatives from different colleges across the region and members have the next year to properly prepare.

More than 500 tarantula breeds found in Kansas

WICHITA — Experts say Kansans don't need to be worried about the healthy population of tarantulas found in parts of the state, particularly in the southern tier of counties.

"There are stories of mass migrations across roads, but I have not been lucky enough to see one," Guarisco said. "I have seen a dozen or more on a small stretch of road just north of Sedan."
Most of the states tarantulas live in southern counties but stretch north as far as Gove and Trego counties

rantulas in Kansas normally live in burrows they line with silk they've made. They survive by eating insects.
The spiders generally don't have trouble surviving a Kansas winter, Guarisco said, because they have a type of natural antifreeze in their blood.
"They can survive well below freezing," he said. "They're pretty hardy that way. It's just amazing stuff."

A few talented seniors in the University's art department are "going out with a bang," as senior John Dennis puts it. The University students have used their various talents in textile art to create fashion statements.
The students are currently creating pieces for their senior projects. Critiques will take place during finals week this December. Their final projects are a reflection of their progress throughout the whole semester. Along with their professors, seniors will have the chance to critique their classmates' final pieces.

"My art is different because it has a functional aspect," said Dennis, a senior from Kansas City, Mo.
"I've always been trying to find a merger between architecture and fashion. What I'm doing draws back to my roots in architecture; I'm always looking for structure."
Dennis has hand made a button-down shirt and then dyed it with indigo. He is currently crocheting a cardigan to accompany the shirt.
Dennis has interned with emerging fashion designers in New York City, and said he would like to work with smaller-scale designers after he graduates to have a more

Sarah Travis, a senior from Overland Park, is also a textile design student. She is currently working part time at Altar Bridal, a high-end bridal store in Kansas City, where she works one-on-one with designers.
Travis has applied her talents in embroidery to her passion for bridal wear.
"I'm creating something that isn't along the lines of what you expect to see from an art student," Travis said. "I wanted to show that bridal isn't just a white dress. In my work, the dresses are pieces of art."
After trying her hand at making a wedding dress, Travis then moved on to embroidered-collared necklaces.
Other than working with Altar Bridal, Travis also works as an apprentice to a bridal accessory designer in Kansas City.

Kobach seeks opinion on guns at polling places
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has asked Attorney General Derek Schmidt for a ruling on whether a new state law allowing concealed carry in most public buildings includes polling places.
Polling sites in Kansas are often found in places where guns are not usually allowed, such as churches, schools, universities and charity organizations, The Wichita Eagle reported. Guns
have also been prohibited as a general rule from polling places to prevent voter intimidation or interference with elections, Kobach said.
But there is "some ambiguity in the law" over whether Kansas polling places would be considered "leased" property under the new concealed-carry law. If they are, the law says licensed gun owners must be allowed to carry their weapons on the premises, unless the county files a detailed security plan for each site and
We've invited the attorney general to weigh in before we issue any guidance to the counties," Kobach told the newspaper.

provides protective measures such as metal detectors and guards to run them.
Brad Bryant, elections director
in the Secretary of State's Office, gave election commissioners and county clerks from around Kansas an update on the issue during a recent convention in Wichita.
Rep. Tom Sawyer of Wichita, ranking Democrat on the House elections committee, said there could be difficulties in finding polling sites if weapons have to be allowed. He said some churches and nonprofit groups that open their property for voting sites may have second thoughts if they have to allow guns.
Our understanding right now is that a building, a facility, that is owned or leased by a municipality, including for a polling place, would be subject to the (concealed carry) law," he said. "When you lease a private property, it becomes a municipal property on Election Day, that's our understanding."
"It's hard enough as it is to come up with a building that's going to be open all day and that's handicapped-accessible," he said.

Christine Harwood, a masters student in Studio 804 from St. Louis, reiterated that personally designing and building the Forum provides a unique experience for her that other schools of architecture can't.
"I was attracted to KU five years ago because of this program," Harwood said. "When you see a design process all the way through, to now when we're building it ourselves, I'll be so much more knowledgeable. And when you know the process as it goes down the hands, you can create those details better too."

Dog size shouldn't matter in apartment leases
PETS
Anime is dumb.
If you ever want to see an apartment owner laugh, ask if their "pet friendly" complex allows 100-pound dogs. They seem to think it's hilarious. In fact, they usually respond with some oh-so-clever quip like, "that's no dog, it's a horse!"
The problem is, I'm never joking when I ask, "Your website says you allow dogs," I insist, as they continue laughing. And then I find the fine print—that tiny section on the website that specifies the 50 pound, 25 pound, or even 15 pound limit for dogs to live in the apartment. They allow "big" dogs, as long as those "big" dogs are smaller than your average golden retriever.
pets tend to exclude large dogs. My question is why?
It's strange to me that apartment complexes in Lawrence are so adamantly against large dogs considering Lawrence is a pretty dog-friendly city. Very few apartment complexes around town are pet-friendly at all, and the ones that pride themselves on allowing
Perhaps when I say I own a 100-pound dog they all imagine Cujo. They certainly don't imagine Nova, my six-year-old Newfoundland, who is a registered therapy dog that I often take on visits to nursing homes, the VA and schools. Even so, when I specify that she's well-behaved and has multiple obedience and behavior certifications backing up my claim, it doesn't seem to make a difference.
When I ask if Nova is allowed in the apartments, most say no right off. Others tell me that she is, but begin listing the many different deposits and fees I would have to pay to keep her in the apartment with me. The most misguided of these was the monthly pet fee that was dependent on the weight of the dog. I expected to have to pay extra for my dog to live with me, but I did not expect to have only a few very limited choices from the

“pet free” apartments, nor to have to pay more for Nova than a dog that weighs forty pounds less. Here are the four most common responses for why large dogs are not allowed in apartments: “They destroy things.”
They don't destroy just as many things as large dogs; they just take longer to do it. Certain breeds of small and medium dogs are actually known for being very destructive if they get bored, and the tendency for destruction has much more to do with breed than size.
"They bark."
All dogs bark, some more than others. Hounds tend to bark a lot, whereas Newfoundlands tend to not bark much at all. It has much more to do with the breed of the dog than the size. I rather live next to a Great Dane or a Yorkshire terrier any day. "It's not healthy to keep them in an apartment."
Some dogs probably should not be kept in apartments. They have too much energy and are bred for running around, so they're going to drive you and everyone else crazy in an apartment. The thing is, this has nothing to do with size. Active breeds like Siberian huskies won't be happy unless they get a lot of exercise whereas a lazy, giant breed like a Great Dane or Newfoundland can live quite happily with just a few short walks a day.
"They're a liability because they probably bite."
Small dogs actually have a higher tendency for aggression than
large dogs. This is partly due to their size and partly due to breeding. In the end, it mostly depends on the training and socialization of any dog. Any dog can bite, but most dogs won't if they've been properly trained. And to be honest, a big dog is much less likely to get away with being aggressive for long, whereas small dogs are often seen as "cute" when they're trying to bite your ankles.
The moral of the story? There is really no good reason to have a weight limit on which dogs can live in an apartment complex. If complex owners are worried about behavioral issues, they should ask to see a good citizen test for the dog or ask for proof of obedience training. Those things would help ensure a well-behaved dog. Limiting the size of the dog only stops potential renters from checking out the space.

Adults can learn life lessons from being around children
When was the last time you went outside and played a game with your friends? Or the last time you blew bubbles just because you thought it looked neat? How easily did you used to laugh at the word "poo" being blurted out in an awkward silence? I would venture to guess that it has maybe been a while.
Working with kids at an after-school program here in Lawrence has made me realize that youth is something that should truly be treasured for as long as possible. When I am watching the kids play outside on the playground, I realize that if a group of my friends went to the same place, we wouldn't be able to be as entertained as the kids. Not without a few red bulls in our system, at least.
When you're little, you fight over the swing set, a timeout is like the ultimate death sentence and you get to be as blunt as you want with adults because they can't really get mad (my biggest envy of children). However, when you're an "adult" you have all these gross responsibilities.
By Molly Smith
msmith@kansan.com
You have to actually do important things like pay the bills, get a job and never crack a smile (I think that's a rule, right?)
Responsibility seems to come out of nowhere, hitting you like a freight train. All of a sudden you must grow up, and there are no more excuses. Even though I'm technically an adult at the age of 19, I can't seem to accept it. I can't make myself enjoy doing all those mandatory, everyday tasks. Who was the lunatic that decided that we have to grow up, anyway?
I never realized how easy it was to be a child until I began working with children for my job, entering that world all over again. It really is interesting to see how little they know about what's going on in the world, because all that matters in their world is that they remember to tie their shoes and get their multiplication problems done. Everything goes unnoticed by them, and they're just living
everyday to have fun.
everyday to have fun.
As an adult, you can see that some kids are different than others, because we are so used to judging every move our peers make. However, I recently realized that young children don't even notice when someone is unusual or what we may consider to be "socially unacceptable".
I deeply wish that adults had all these same qualities as children. The world would be a much better place if no one ever lost his or her innocence and obliviousness. I know that we can learn from kids in many ways. I spend all day trying to teach them, but at the end of the day, I realize that they are really the ones teaching me. So, maybe we should all take some advice from the children. Just let loose every once in a while, don't be afraid to laugh at the word "poop" and don't be so preoccupied in judging everyone all the time. It's about time we started acting like children, folks.

Cicadas assist with healthy ecosystems
Cicadas do their first act of service for the ecosystem when they emerge from the soil. Aerating the soil is crucial because plant roots need the aeration to expand and to gain further nutrients from microbial helpers who need oxygen. Cicadas aerate the soil yearly if they are the annual cicadas (the ones you were seeing), and about every 17 years if they are periodical cicadas.
Although we see the effects of the annual cicada more often, the periodical cicada has a huge impact.
The periodical cicada is smaller than the annual cicada and has red eyes with orange wings. Females lay 400-600 eggs at a time when they are above ground, and then billions emerge 17 years later. As care2.com explains, "the cicadas' all-at-once appearance at the end of these cycles is their survival strategy; aside from their numbers, cicadas have few defenses against predators and are clumsy in a fight."
Have you been bugged by the buzzz? Fall isn't just the season for sweaters and scarves - it's also the time for annual cicadas to fill the air with their song. As the seasons begin to change and we say farewell to these noisy insects, let's take a moment to understand why cicadas are so much more than white noise.
This 17-year emergence is especially important for the animals that will eat the cicadas. Cicadas are an incredible source of protein so animals love to eat them. Cicadamania.com states, "all wild animals and domestic pets will eat them. Dogs will gorge themselves until they choke. Squirrels will eat them like corn on the cob. Wild turkeys will grow fat and juicy on the cicada feast. Fish go crazy for them too — you can use them as bait, or use lures that mimic them." Cicadamania.com also compares this emergence as it being "like 17 years of Christmas, Thanksgiving

and birthday parties rolled into one incredible month."
The best news has yet to come. The periodical cicada is set to emerge in Kansas in 2015. That gives you two years to come up with how to celebrate the cicada infiltration.
Cicadas also have been used as musical accompaniment. David Rothenberg has used cicadas in his CD, "Bug Music". Don't listen too closely though. The cicada song gets up to 120 decibels. Wikipedia even said "the song is loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss in humans should the cicada sing just outside the listener's ear."
Jenny Stern is a sophomore majoring in biology from Lawrence.
Some people will even venture to feast on this noisy bug. If you are curious as to how to cook cicadas, check out the 2004 online cookbook "Cicada-licious" written by scientist Dr. Jenna Jadin. This cookbook includes recipes such as cicada stir-fry, chocolate covered cicadas, and El Chirper Tacos. They are even low-carb and gluten-free! Be wary, as cicadas are known bio-accumulators of mercury. Also, you may want to consider that they've been underground for 17 years, surrounded by soil possibly containing pesticides.
Cicadas even have a medicinal purpose. According to altmed. com, "the medicinal uses of cicada include treatment of fever and associated seizures; skin rashes; and such eye disorders as conjunctivitis, cataracts, and blurred vision."

KU
What do you think about this young crop of Kansas basketball players and, in particular, Andrew Wiggins?
Q&A
Paul Rudd: I'm so, so psyched he's on our team for one year. I can't wait. I love Bill Seif. I love Jayhawk basketball, and I'm totally jazzed to watch the season. I think some NBA teams are already trying to tank to get (Wiggins)... Looking at you, Philadelphia 76ers.
What's your favorite part about your characters?
we shot, it was hilarious. We had that as a starting point, but on any given day, we or Adam (McKay) or Will (Ferrell) would come up with as much material as was on the pages.

Rudd: I like his musky, sexualized idiocy.

Carell: Brick has trouble putting a sentence together.
Carell: I love lamp.
Rudd: Slap the bass, now. In the last year that seems to be the one more than others.
Carell: You have to open your heart and open your ear, and you have to listen and appreciation the woman you're with.
Carelli I love the innate intelligence of Brick. The sort of counterintuitive equality of his character.
Do you have any advice for picking up women?
How much of the movie was improvised?

LOS ANGELES — "Ender's Game" scored the No. 1 slot at the weekend box office, earning $28 million in its opening weekend and sending "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" into second place, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Rudd: At times, it didn't seem difficult at all. I felt like we know these characters pretty well. Throughout shooting, there were moments I thought, 'Oh God, am I doing this right?'

place opening met the studio's pre-weekend expectations.
However, ticket sales didn't come close to the opening weekends of other young-adult adaptations such as "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games." It did fare better than "Beautiful Creatures" and "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones."
"Ender's Game" is a big budget movie that could be the start of a franchise," said box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Rentrak. "This time of year is not exactly a hotbed of million-dollar openings, but once they launch worldwide, it will do well."
Paramount's comedy starring Johnny Knoxville disguised as an old man brought in an additional
$20.5 million in its second week end, with a domestic total reaching more than $62 million. It also picked up $6 million in international ticket sales.
CBS Films" "Last Vegas", featuring an all-star cast of silver screen veterans including Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline, opened in third place, with $16.5 million. Overseas, Disney's "Thor: The Dark World" earned an impressive $109.4 million in its first international weekend. The Marvel superhero sequel opens domestically next weekend.

Eminem's new LP restores success

rwright@kansan.com
Eminem is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, and rightfully so. In his illustrious career he's released three classic albums and held the title of the best-selling artist of the 2000s. For all of his past success, Eminem hasn't released a solid project since 2002's "The Eminem Show." But with "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," he looks to return to his former glory.
The production on the album is primarily handled by Eminem himself as well as legendary producer Rick Rubin who's known for his work with The Beastie Boys, Johnny Cash and Kanye West, most recently. The production on the album is solid overall, but the real gems are the tracks produced by Rubin.
— Edited by Elise Reuter
synthesis
"Rhyme or Reason" features a sample of The Zombies "Time of the Season" which provides smooth production that complements Eminem well. Even though the lyrics on "Berserk" aren't up to par, the beat is fantastic. It's a callback to Rubin's work with The Beastie Boys and gives off a golden-era vibe.
his mother, essentially apologizing and wanting to start over with her. It's not what's expected of Eminem, and it's truly amazing.
Eminem generally returns to form when it comes to lyrics. Eminem is angry on this album and he's usually at his best when angry. Throughout the album he talks about his relationship with his parents among other typical Eminem topics. On "Headlights," he talks about his relationship with
For the most part, Eminem has returned to form. After more than ten years, he finally gives fans a solid project.
For the last few years, Eminem has been doing this weird scream-
Although there are many high notes on this album, there are also quite a few lows. Eminem has been known to make witty remarks in his songs regarding pop culture, but on this album some of his references are quite dated. He often references celebrities who aren't relevant, like Kevin Federline. A Kevin Federline reference might have witty in 2005, but in 2013 it just isn't creative.

'Last Vegas'an aging rerun of 'The Hangover'
It's easy to imagine our grandparents spending their days sorting pills and doing pool aerobics. Crazy weekends in Vegas don't seem to be on the menu. Director Jon Turteltaub's latest film "Last Vegas" shows us our assumptions are a little misguided. "Last Vegas" follows septuagenarians Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas and Kevin Kline as they hit Sin City for one insane weekend.
Sam (Kline), Archie (Freeman), Paddy (De Niro) and Billy (Douglas) have been friends since they were nine. More than 60 years later, they're living in separate cities and Billy and Paddy aren't speaking. When Billy announces that he's getting married, the team reunites for the bachelor party in Vegas. The

end result is "Hangover"-esque. And that's the point.
"Last Vegas" is marketed as a more accessible "Hangover" and, largely, it succeeds. The movie is funny and light-hearted in most parts and generally keeps it clean. Most of the humor comes from the age of the main characters—i.e., the scenes of them unhappily doing water aerobics and sorting their pills. One of the movie's highlights is Archie's first experience with Red Bull and vodka ("It's like I'm getting drunk and electrocuted at the same time!").
The movie's main drawback is its predictability. From the beginning,
it's obvious where the plot is going and how the movie's going to end. We all know that Billy will not be marrying his 33-year-old fiancee and eventually he'll reconcile with Paddy. Archie will stand up to his over-protective son and they'll all fly off into the sunset toward their respective cities.
Though the plot of "Last Vegas" isn't exactly original and most of the humor seems like an inside joke for the over-50 set, the film is still entertaining and only helped by its outstanding cast.

Cleveland kidnap survivor sits down with Dr. Phil
CLEVELAND — One of three women who escaped from a ramshackle Cleveland home after more than a decade in captivity is about to share her story.
michelle Knight will appear on the "Dr. Phil" show Tuesday and Wednesday in a taped interview.
The show says Knight "describes the horrible conditions in the house" and discusses her physical, mental and sexual abuse. That includes "being tied up like a fish" and spending weeks chained
and tortured in the basement, according to the show.
"Three women were taken, three women were rescued, but only two went home," said Phil McGraw, referring to Knight's
Their kidnapper, Ariel Castro, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. He hanged himself Sept. 3.
Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina Dejesus escaped May 6 when Berry pushed out a door and yelled for help.
On "Dr. Phil," Knight will also discuss how she was able to survive her ordeal. She was 20 years old when she was kidnapped in August 2002.
decision not to reunite with her family. The Knight interview was announced earlier as three segments but was trimmed.
"When you listen to her describe the horrible living conditions and how she was treated, you wonder how anyone lasted a day let alone more than a decade. In the 12 years of doing the 'Dr Phil' show, no one has changed me like Michelle Knight and her story of survival."
A coroner ruled Castro's death a suicide but an Ohio prisons report indicated he may have died accidentally.

FOOTBALL REWIND
Texas game slips away as quarterback quarrel continues
MAX GOODWIN AND CHRIS HYBL
a suicide ated he
mgoodwin@kansan.com; chybl@kansan.com
OFFENSE:D
The offense began the game with a drive that went deep into Texas territory, only to result in a missed field goal. It appeared Kansas would go into halftime scoreless until a 43-yard pass from Jake Heaps to Rodriguez Coleman set up a field goal. The Jayhawks turned the ball over just once, but it was a costly one, a fumble returned for a touchdown.
DEFENSE: C
Weis said after the game that he didn't believe the defense did what it needed to do to win, and it's hard to disagree. Texas quarterback Case McCoy completed 20-of-29 passes, and the Longhorns racked up 221 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. The lone bright spot for the defense was Isaiah Johnson, who did have two interceptions on the day.
COACHING: C
It seemed like Jake Heaps was able to move the ball and complete passes in the first quarter, but freshman Montell Cozart was brought in at the start of the second quarter after those drives resulted in no points on the board for the Jayhawks. That's when the offense began to stall and lose rhythm.
SPECIAL TEAMS: C
Kicker Matthew Wyman missed a 31-yard field goal after the Jayhawks were able to put together a decent drive to start the game, and was benched for Ron Doherty. Punter Trevor Pardula had a punt of 63 and 68 yards, but also had one for 21 yards.
GLASS HALF FULL
As in many games this season, Kansas held its own and managed to let the game slip away with essentially two plays: a roughing the punter call that helped Texas to a touchdown and a Jake Heaps fumble that was returned for a touchdown. The two plays were huge blows to a Kansas team that looked to hold its own ground just enough to keep hope alive for a Big 12 win somewhere along the line this season.
GLASS HALF EMPTY
The offense was unable to find the endzone until the second team defense hit the field for Texas. Heaps and Cozart almost evenly split possessions, a sign that Charlie Weis is digging further into a quarterback controversy.
GOOD, BAD OR PLAIN STUPID
Back come the kicking problems. It was apparent that Matthew Wyman was still struggling Saturday when he missed a 31-yard field goal on Kansas' opening drive. Ron Doherty came on and laced his 21 and 27 yard attempts during the game. The two converted field goals will probably be enough for a little kicking controversy for the rest of the season, and is also likely to add a little more unneeded pressure between the two kickers.
VERDICT: BAD
DELAY OF GAME
After two solid offensive drives led by Heaps, Weis decided to go with backup quarterback Montell Cozart. Taking Heaps out after two drives won't allow him to get any comfort or confidence under his belt, much less into a rhythm to help Kansas try and win a game.
GAMEBALL
Montell Cozart. The game ball goes to Cozart because of one play. a 20-yard TD run where Cozart hit the hole and easily sped past defenders for the score. That play secured a 'big-minutes' future for the freshman quarterback and was his biggest step towards a starting spot.
LOOKING AHEAD
FINAL THOUGHT
As Cozart's playing time continues to grow, it is hard to pinpoint a time when it will stop. Heaps has shown he is not the quarterback who can come onto the field and consistently put scoring drives together. Kansas fans can start to look to Cozart as the future, because these two won't live in perfect harmony forever. Kansas is a team desperate for playmakers and Cozart that has edge on Heaps. If Kansas loses next week, they are officially ineligible for a bowl game and that's when fans can expect next year's starting quarterback battle to begin.
Kansas is taking on the identity of a team that can play with an opponent for most of a game. But that's not good enough, and two bad plays in this game (a roughing the punter penalty and the Jake Heaps fumble) managed to derail an attempt for Kansas to get an elusive Big 12 victory. Kansas is the closest they have been as a team to putting together a solid, complete game, but that final push for victory is apparently a lot harder than anyone estimated.

STAT OF THE DAY
Edited by Casey Hutchins and Evan Dunbar
The 20-yard rushing touchdown by Montell Cozart in the 4th quarter. The touchdown should be enough to start calling it a quarterback quarrel between Cozart and Heaps. And since Cozart was the only Jayhawk to get the ball to the endzone on Saturday, it may be unspoken but more clear, the rest of this year and next year is setting up for a Heapes vs. Cozart battle.

Victory against Oklahoma secures championship spot
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
In the most crucial game of the season, the Jayhawks came through. The Kansas soccer team (7-10-2, 2-5-1) played its last regular season game Friday needing a win or a tie against Oklahoma (4-13-1, 1-7) to earn a spot in this week's Big 12 Soccer Championship. Kansas earned a 2-1 victory over Oklahoma and the eighth seed in the tournament.

we won the game."
The win was far from smooth. After Kansas got an early 1-0 lead, Oklahoma came back and tied it up with 15 minutes left to play in the match. The last 10 minutes of the game were frantic for both teams and was capped by the winning score with less than three minutes to play.
"There have been so many games this year, especially in the conference, where I come off the field at the end of the game and felt really, good about how we played, but we lost. Today, we played like crap to be honest," coach Mark Francis said. "We battled and we fought really hard and that's why
Junior midfielder Jamie Fletcher scored both goals for the Jayhawks Friday. She came into the game with 59 shots on the season, which was the most on the team and fourth overall in the league, but only had one goal.

Fletcher put the Jayhawks on top 1-0 with 16 minutes left in the first half on a play that started with a corner kick. Junior defender Haley Yearout sent the corner toward sophomore midfielder Hanna Kallmaier. Senior forward Caroline Kastor took possession of the ball and had a shot blocked by a Sooner defender. Off that rebound and amidst the scramble, Fletcher kicked the ball in for a score. She said she credits some of her offensive explosion to just being at the right place at the right time.
"In the first goal, the ball was just sitting there and I was like 'ahhh' and hit it in," Fletcher said. "Sometimes you're lucky."
In the second half, the Jayhawks were looking to protect their lead. Often, when Oklahoma was making an offensive attack, every Kansas player on the field was on their
With about 15 minutes left to play, the Oklahoma offense came through with its own goal. Oklahoma forward Daisy Cardona grabbed a loose ball in front of the net and sent it in past junior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud. The Sooners seemed to have grabbed the momentum and started looking for a second goal or to send the match overtime.
The comeback would fall short when Oklahoma goalkeeper Kassidie Stade earned a red card and an ejection with less than five minutes left. Kastor had run past the defense and was one-on-one with Stade, who came out of the box and tackled Kastor. Stade was replaced by Miranda Larkin who had only played in two previous games.
Larkin would concede the winning goal to Fletcher in the 88th minute. Fletcher knocked in a header off a corner by Yearout.
Both teams had missed opportunities to score before these final minutes. Oklahoma missed a penalty kick wide right, and Kastor had three run-outs and shots that

durr turn into goal.
Stroud added 11 saves to her season today. She has 99 on the season, which is the most among conference goalkeepers.
The match also marked the last regular season game for three seniors on the team. Kastor and defenders Madi Hillis and Shannon Renner were honored in the Senior Day festivities. All three saw double digit minutes in the match, and Kastor is currently
tied for second on Kansas' all time goal-scoring chart.
"The three seniors are awesome," Fletcher said, "I just want them to play more games and keep on going."
Friday was also the last time Kansas will play at Jayhawk Soccer Complex. Next season, the Jayhawks will move their matches to Rock Chalk Park, which is currently under construction.
As the eighth seed in the tournament, Kansas will face the number one seed West Virginia on Wednesday, Nov. 6, the first day of the three-day tournament. West Virginia is the regular season champion and is 7-1 in conference play, including a 2-0 victory against the Jayhawks on Oct. 18. The game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m., and will be played at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Mo.

Jayhawks finish strong at Big 12 championships
DANIEL HARMSEN
dharmsen@kansan.com
On a beautiful November morning at the Big 12 Championships, hosted by the Cottonwood Creek Golf Course in Waco, Texas, the Kansas Men's and Women's Cross Country teams took 6th and 7th place respectively.
The men's team was led by senior Josh Munsch, who crossed the tape at 23:6.8, and juniors Evan Landes, Reid Buchanan and James Wilson. With their 13th and 15th place finishes, Munsch and Landes were named All-Conference.
Sophomore Hannah Richardson was at the front of the women's pack, and also earned All-Conference. She finished the 6k race in 11th place, the highest 12 finish by a jayhawk in two seasons. Twin freshmen Nashia Baker and Malika Baker placed 28th and 32nd, senior Natalie Becker took 33rd, and freshman Courtney Coppington rounded out the five in 41st.
The competition was particularly stiff this year. The men faced three teams in the top 30, and the
women's side was deep with talent as well. Forty-six of the 81 athletes competing on the men's side finished the 8k race averaging less than 5 minutes per mile, and the first female finisher Marielle Hall, from the University of Texas, finished the 6k course in 19:38.3, averaging 5:16 per mile.
The defending National Champion, Oklahoma State, won yet another Big 12 Championship on the men's side, and the Iowa State Cyclones repeated as well on the women's side.
The Jayhawks ran tough, but the pack spread out a little too much for coach Stanley Redwine's liking.
"I thought our front guys ran well today, but as a team they didn't run as well as I wanted them to," Redwine said.
Josh Munsch added his thoughts on the meet and the blazing fast pace early on in the race.
"The race went out pretty quickly and never really slowed down," Munsch said. "We were expecting to make a move around the 4 or 5k mark, but it went out pretty fast."
their inexperience surfaced against the veteran competition.
"We're young, and when you're young there are going to be some mistakes made and things to improve upon," Redwine added. "When you're that close to third place, there are definitely some things you're doing well."
The women's side ran well, but
Richardson completed the 6k course in 20:56.8, averaging 5:36 per mile, but sees the NCAA Midwest Regional race in Ames, Iowa on Friday, Nov. 15 as an opportunity to cap off an excellent season.
"I went out with the front girls, but around the 3k I wasn't aggressive enough," Richardson said. "The last half of the race is really when the race starts. I didn't think I did as well as I could today."
The Jayhawks will have two weeks to work on bringing runners 4-7 closer to the front of the pack. If they can do that, these young teams will make Redwine and the rest of the Jayhawk nation smile.

shot just 1-7 from the field before the first media timeout.
"They came out and threw a punch, which is what you should do," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Eventually the Jayhawks settled down, taking a two point halftime lead 33-31 after a squiggish first half.
"I thought for us, the best part of the whole afternoon was the run we had coming out of the locker room, which was probably the cushion we needed to get the win," Henrickson said. "Someone asked me if we changed things defensively and adjusted, and the honest answer to that is no."
Something happened in the locker room during the half though, because the lajhawks came out firing on all cylinders defensively.
"I thought they had a little more intensity [on defense]. They went on a little bit of a run, and that hurt us," Emporia State guard Haley Parker said.
There may not have been any adjustments to the game plan, but the intensity of Kansas' defense was much higher to start the second half, and the girls were fired up.

The Jayhawks began the second half with a 7-0 run to take a 41-33 lead. ESU did not score until the 16:40 mark, and the Jayhawks never looked back.

"We were aggressive at times and didn't make good decisions," Henrickson said. "When we did [make good decisions], we made a great run and [created] some great opportunities."
Henrickson said the lajayhaws needed their defense to step up, because offensively they were not executing as well as she would have liked.
Junior guard Natalie Knight said she thinks Kansas' defense can have this kind of intensity every night, but the team needs to work on its consistency on the defensive end of the floor.
"I think at times we were really good, but we've just got to bring it every night," Knight said. "We need to increase our ball pressure and boxing out is going to be big for us down the stretch."
The Jayhawks' defense held ESU to 23.3 percent shooting for the game. In the second half, the Hornets shot just 5-35 from the field, a meager 14.3 percent. Laura Patrick, the Hornets leading returning scorer, shot just 2-10 from the field.
The real season starts next week for the Jayhawks, with a game against Oral Roberts Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How much do Punkin Chunkin pumpkins have to weigh?
s Ogden
A: 8-10 pounds
-punkinchunkin.com
THE MORNING BREW
Pumpkin chunking provides unique entertainment
Take off the pads, put down the bat, because the only equipment needed to play this game is a well rounded pumpkin. Well, that and a one ton punkin chunker. For those unaware of this scientific sport, Punkin Chunkin involves teams building machines capable of launching pumpkins as far as possible. It's that simple. Shockingly though, punkin chunkin hasn't always been well-known. It started in 1986 when four friends saw a news story of a local college's physics class throwing pumpkins, and one said they could throw a pumpkin farther than the other. A competition ensued and the rest is history.
This year's Punkin Chunkin World Championship took place over the weekend in the farm fields of Bridgeview, Delaware, hosting 72 teams and thousands of fans during a three day festival which included a Miss Punkin Chunkin Beauty Pageant, cooking contest, fireworks, and pumpkins traveling upwards of 4000 feet. Definitely a step up from four guys standing in a corn field 27 years ago, with the longest throw being 126 feet.
In all there are seven different classes of machines that compete during this

contest, ranging from catapults to huge air vessel machines. Another is the human power class of chunkers, and although they don't propel the pumpkin as far as some machines, this class has turned out to be an annual fan favorite.
Unlike the other six classes, the human-powered machines launch their pumpkins by using stored energy produced by a single member of a team. For two minutes that person generates and transfers energy from a device attached to their punkin chunker, whether that be a bicycle or an old rowing machine. Usually the wackier the team, the crazier the device is that is used to produce energy. At the conclusion of those two minutes, the punkin chuncher is locked and then fires, but only after a loud horn warns spectators, which is mandatory before every chunk.
While the human-powered machines bring the laughs, the air vessel machines bring the distance. Using compressed air these sometimes house-sized machines launch pumpkins thousands of feet, and other times no feet at all. Occasionally the pumpkin will burst after leaving the barrel, which is referred to as "pie" at Punkin Chunkin, and means the pumpkins distant will not count since it didn't remain whole before hitting the ground.
Because it's important for teams to have every pumpkin count, some competitors are known to grow their own using "special methods to create better pumpkins for throwing. Whether teams are growing
THE BREW
their own pumpkins or buying them like normal people, they must use one of the pumpkin varieties listed by the World Championship Punkin Chunkin Association, and any use of pumpkins not on the list will lead to a disqualification.
What may be best about this event isn't the absurd distances some pumpkins will travel, but the cause behind chunking. This year there was $100,000 in revenue,and more than $70,000 will be distributed in scholarships to community organizations, along with nine nonprofits that the WCPCA supports.
To watch the 2013 Punkin Chunkin World Championship tune in to the
Science Channel at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, I guarantee there's not another sport quite like it.

Kansas grinds out four-set road victory against TCU

Kansas (18-5, 8-2) overcame a sluggish opening set to top the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs (13-11, 2-8) 20-25, 25-20, 25-18, 25-23 in Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday.
The Jayhawks remained undefeated on the road in conference play with the win. Their toughest road tests remain as they will travel to face first-place Texas, second-place Iowa State (tied with Kansas) and third-place Oklahoma. Even with
the slow start, coach Ray Bechard was pleased with the team's play at this crucial stretch in the season.
"Obviously there are some areas we could have been cleaner in," Bechard said. "But a 3-1 win this time of the year on the road against a good team, we're very happy with." Redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc and junior outside hitter Sara McClinton, who lead the team in kills per set, both struggled as they finished with a combined 16 kills on a .06 hitting percentage.

Junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers was an offensive and defensive threat as well as she finished with 14 kills and seven digs.
The Jayhawks completed the season sweep of TCU for the second straight year and are now 4-0 against the Horned Frogs since they joined the Big 12 last season. Kansas has lost just two sets in the four matches combined.
Despite being ranked last in the conference in service aces, the Jayhawks cranked out a season-high eight on Saturday. McNorton and Riley tied for the team high with two apiece.
"Our serving keyed the third set run and the fourth set run, so it was huge for us," Bechard said.
Kansas returns home to take on West Virginia on Wednesday before its biggest test of the season as the team travels to Austin, Texas to face the No.1 Texas Longhorns. The Jayhawks have six conference matches remaining.

Redshirting can help players grow
COMMENTARY
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
the concept of redshirting has earned a bit of a negative reputation. To some it's
combination. To some as if a coach is saying, "You're not good enough" or "You're not ready." In part, this is due to our environment. We've grown up in the era of trophies for participation and positive reinforcement because sometimes the truth seems harsher than being lied to.
Last week Kansas coach Bill Self said the two exhibition games would help him decide if someone would have to forgo playing this season. If you were to purely guess after perusing the stat sheet from game one, there's one redshirt candidate who clearly sticks out.
Freshman Connor Frankamp was the only Jayhawk with more than a minute of playing time to attempt a shot against Pittsburgh State and not score any points (0-3). All three of his attempts were from 3-point range - an area Frankamp specialized in while setting the high school scoring record in Wichita.
That is not to say that if Frankamp doesn't perform well against Fort Hays State on Tuesday he'll have cost himself the opportunity to compete with the 2013-14 Jayhawks. Earlier in the year, Self said Frankamp would have the "green light" to shoot when he wants. To judge him off his first preseason game in college wouldn't help anyone.
What's most important to understand is that taking a redshirt is not a punishment, an insult or a death sentence - at least not under Bill Self.
"It won't be because we tell them they have to," Self said earlier in the year. "It'll be because we think it's best for their career."
In recent years, redshirting in Lawrence has helped make college careers.
Travis Releford sat out after playing his freshman season in 2008-09. The Kansas City product took the time to work on defense and improving his shot. Last year as a senior he was widely regarded as college basketball's best perimeter defender and averaged 11.9 points while leading the Jayhawks with 47 steals.
Brady Morningstar also sat out his sophomore year. Over his final two seasons at Kansas (2009-11) he shot 44.5 percent from the field and tallied 85 steals.
While the NCAA ruled Ben McLemore academically ineligible as a freshman, the extra year of practice helped him become one of the most explosive players in the nation while averaging nearly 16 points per game.
Landen Lucas could also be added to this list after sitting out last season, but that remains to be seen.
None of these kids sat out because they weren't good enough. Frankly, if that were the case they likely wouldn't be playing for Kansas. You could say the same for anyone on this year's team if the coaches decide to sit a player for the year.
So no, a redshirt does not cast off a player. In Self's terms it helps them become more effective.
"After seeing Travis and Jeff Withey I can't understand if you're not in the mix why you, as a young kid, wouldn't consider that," Self said at Kansas media day. "If you follow what they did, those guys had unbelievable careers because they were patient."

JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
In a game where both teams struggled to score, tight defense and timely scoring were enough for the Kansas women's basketball team to beat the Emporia State Lady Hornets 61-53.
Senior backup guard CeCe Harper led the Jayhawks with 15 points and anchored the offense from the point guard position when many of the starters were on the bench in foul trouble. Coach Bonnie Henrickson said she credits Harper being a senior and her sense of urgency.
"She came out and did her job," Henrickson said
Harper made six out of 10 field goal attempts. Four of her six rebounds were offensive, including one that led to field goal by junior guard Asia Boyd.
I just knew we needed some energy," Harper said. "This was a game we needed to win, and this was a game that would build our confidence for the season starting next week. I just wanted to do whatever I could to help the team."
Chelsea Gardner's layup forced Emory State to take a timeout.
"For us the best part of the whole afternoon was the run we made coming out of the locker room which probably ended up being the cushion we needed to get a win," Henrickson said.
The run was capped by a layup by Harper. Boyd had forced a turnover on the other end of the court and gathered the loose ball on the floor. She sent the ball Knight's way and Knight took it down the court and sent a bounce pass to Harper, who was waiting around the basket.

Kansas shot 37 percent from the field for the game while Emporia State shot 23 percent, including 14 percent in the second half. The Jayhawks shot better from the 3-point line, making 7-16.
At the half, the Jayhaws led 33-31. They gave themselves the separation they needed for the rest of the game with an 11-2 run to start the second半节. Junior guard Natalie Knight started off the scoring with a 3-pointer, one of three she made during the game. Boyd added a jumper, and junior forward

The Lady Hornets came out at the start of the game with lots of energy, which helped them to a 9-2 lead. Guard Laura Patrick started the scoring with a 3-pointer, and the Jayhawks spent much of the rest of the half trying to recover.
"It's a great opportunity for us to test ourselves against better, better athletes and try to find some things we can hang our hat on for the season," Emporia State coach Jory Collins said.
Gardner was efficient in her limited playing time, scoring 11 points in 19 minutes. She received her third foul early in the second half, which sent her to the bench. Knight also scored in double-figures with 13, and Markisha Hawkins had a 10-point outing.

Latest loss highlights quarterback dilemma
FOOTBALL
AUSTIN, Texas — Once again,
Kansas looked like it had a chance.
They created a stir of excitement,
and suddenly — in one play — the optimism vanished.
coberkrom@kansan.com
The Jayhawks were a tease, losing 35-13 to Texas.
CONNOR OBERKROM
Down just 14-6 with momentum on their side, Jake Heaps snapped the ball, and saw a slew of Texas defenders in the backfield. Texas defensive end Cedric Reed took down Heaps, forcing a fumble that defensive tackle Chris Whaley recovered and returned for a touchdown.
Heaps, who has been responsible for many of the offensive struggles throughout the season, was once again humble enough to take responsibility for the stripped sack.
Senior runningback James Sims sprints through a hole for a big gain against Texas on Saturday. Sims had 99 total yards in the game, but the Jayhawks lost 35-13.
"It's my job to secure the football," Heaps said. "It's something that I'll take away and learn from. I put that on myself."

Texas went up by 15 and had the stranglehold on the rest of the game.
"This team was a good match-up for how we play," Weis said. "I thought as long as we kept the game in the 20s, we would have a chance to win."
"Our margin of error is so small that if we give up one game-changing play, you're fighting a little more of an up-field battle," Weis said.
Kansas hung with Texas for the first half and although it trailed 14-3 at halftime, it limited Texas' vaunted run game to 99 yards.
Kansas opened the game with two explosive, 15 plus yard screen passes to James Sims, as moving the ball didn't seem like a chore,
going 58 yards in seven plays.
On a third down in Texas territory, Heap Heaps had Tred' Parmalee wide open for a first down, but overthrew him, which then set up Kansas to take a 3-0 lead on a seemingly routine field goal. Wyman shanked a 31-yarder, however, and Kansas failed to put points on the board.
The mix-up quarterback play between Montell Cozart and Jake Heaps continued and even after a favorable first quarter, Weis pulled Heaps for Cozart.
After he completed 5-for-7 passes for 64 yards, Heaps' game was clicking in Kansas' standards, but
Weis didn't think it was premature to pull him out and said that it was suited for where the offense and the game were heading.
"It's not so early, it was the second quarter and we scored zero points," Weis said.
was pulled for Cozart early in the second quarter.
Cozart completed and attempted just one pass for six yards to Jimmy Mundine in the first half.
After Kansas' Billy Owens ran into the Texas punter, the Longhorns went on 15-play, 92-yard drive that spanned over seven minutes to go up 7-0 on a 2-yard Malcolm Brown run.
T I
The drive-shifting penalties didn't stop there. Texas had a third-and-two on its next offensive possession, but Kansas jumped offsides, prolonging the drive that eventually resulted in another Malcolm Brown run.
Volu
At the end of the first half, Kansas was given another opportunity to put its first points on the board. Heaps heaved a lob pass to Rodriguez Coleman for 43-yards with 10 seconds left in the half and brought in Ron Doherty to kick a 21-yard field goal to trail just 14-3.
"We had almost all of our penalties in the first half and every one was costly." Weis said.
Heaps finished the day 11-of-21 for 160 yards, and while Texas only had two sacks on the day, it was relentless battering Heaps, who admitted that he was in pain after the game.
"I'm hurting right now, but I'll be fine." Heaps said. "I'll bounce back,"
The final score wasn't a great indication of how the game transpired and one play — as Kansas has found out the hard way this season — can turn a competitive game into a collapse.
"All the momentum in the game changed in one play," Weis said.

CONSCIOUS CONSENT
Al Jazeera video controversy inspires petition
I'll be back," great transas has season game
LUKE RANKER
franker@kansan.com
The Commission on the Status of Women at KU has sponsored a petition for more education on alcohol and sexual consent at the University of Kansas.
The petition on the website change.org comes as a response to a two-part story the Al Jazeera America broadcasting network published last week on the effects of alcohol and the ability to give consent, CSW President Amanda Schulze said. The story featured several University students drinking and talking about sexual assault.

"We knew consent and sexual assault [education] was not where we wanted it to be, but we didn't know it was so ingrained in such
a wrong way", Schulze, a Wichita senator, said.
At the time of writing, the petition has 138 of 200 possible signatures. She said that number is an arbitrary point set by the website, and the main goal of the petition is to raise awareness. The organization would like to see a focus on proper consent education for freshmen that would continue throughout college.
The University currently requires online education on both alcohol abuse and sexual assault, but CSW would like to see those programs combined to provide a perspective on how drinking affects the ability to give consent. The problem with current education processes, she said, is a lack of focus on sexual assault at freshman orientation, and that students can easily skip
through online education questions without fully reading them.
The common understanding of consent is not saying "no," but that both parties should give an adamant, verbal "yes," Schulze said.
"If you don't feel comfortable doing that, then you shouldn't be having sex," she said.
Education is not just lacking at the college level, Schulze said, but also at the high school level because there should be

"We're surrounded by our friends, and we know our friends would never do anything," Schulze said. "But it's a kind of veil, not real safety."
Schulze said the story showed a direct correlation between drinking
and understanding proper consent. The video interviews demonstrated a common misconception that people are safe around friends, but, as Schulze explained, statistics show that the majority of victims know their assailant. Department of Justice and Bureau of Justice Statistics studies show six in 10 rape or sexual assault victims said they were assaulted by an intimate partner, relative, friend or acquaintance, and one third of sexual assault is committed under the influence of alcohol.
Following the Al Jazeera broadcast, Student Senate President Marcus Tetwiller and Vice
President Emma Halling issued a statement calling for discussion about increasing the University's efforts to educate students on the issues presented in the story.
"What this article does indicate is that existing efforts are not enough," they wrote. "Student leaders are working actively with Student Affairs and Student Safety administrators to combat the attitudes and behaviors exemplified in these videos, but clearly more effective outreach is necessary."
University Daily Kansan attempts to contact students in the video or members of the Al Jazeera production team did not yield an immediate response.

Many Kansan football fans have been left disappointed this season. These fans are more likely to overeat afterward, according to a new study
LEMMA LEGAULT
"What matters is the fan's identification with their team, so I would expect, in fact, that the effects would be stronger for college football." Chandon said in
On the day after their favorite NFL team loses, people eat about 16 percent more saturated fat and 10 percent more calories, according to a recent study in the journal Psychological Science. For a typical 2,000-calorie diet, that's the equivalent of eating an extra McDonald's medium french fry order. The study also showed that fans who back the winning team consume nine percent less saturated fat and five percent fewer calories following a victory.
Although the study focused on professional teams, Pierre Chandon, one of the study's researchers and a marketing professor at the INSEAD Business School in France, said the results would likely be the same for fans leaving a packed house at Arrowhead and those at a less-full Memorial Stadium.
elegault@kansan.com
The psychology behind sports fans' behavior boils down to this: When a team is winning, fans feel good about themselves. If the team is losing, fans feel a similar sense of defeat. Researchers believe the extra fat consumption is a coping mechanism for fed-up fans. With a 2-6 record, Jayhawk football followers may have enough reason to pack on plenty.
The 726 participants recorded what they ate for a two-week period during two consecutive NFL seasons. In cities with the most devoted NFL fans, such as Chicago, Green Bay, Denver and Pittsburgh, saturated fat consumption increased by as much as 28 percent the Monday following a game. No effect was found in cities where the NFL team didn't play that week or in cities without an NFL team. The results were replicated in two more studies with French soccer fans, who preferred unhealthy foods after thinking about or watching a defeat.

— that is especially the plan for football celebrations."
The study found the extra consumption might have more to do with fans choosing fatter foods than eating more. In a previous study at the University of Leuven in Belgium, saturated fats were shown to ward off negative feelings and boost positive moods.
"On game days, I'm more willing to eat more junk food or snacks that I wouldn't normally eat during the week." Tenold said. "But if I knew in advance that my team was going to lose and I would eat more fats, I would specifically watch what I was eating that day and try to make healthier decisions."
"After a defeat, write down what is really important to you in life," Cornil and Chandon said. "In our studies, this simple technique, called 'self affirmation', completely eliminated the effects of defeats."
Tenold said she's bummed if the Chiefs lose and isn't shocked at a KU loss, but it's the high-calorie, low-nutrient comfort food that ties the entire football experience together and makes it more memorable.
University, she's also tailgated for most of the Jayhawks' Saturday home games.
Chandon and his research partner, Yann Cornil, offered advice to health-conscious perennial losers in a press release.

LEGISLATION
NYC age to buy tobacco highered
ASHLEIGH TIDWELL
atidwell@kansan.com
Turning 18 is a big deal. It's the official age of adulthood. A person can get married, join the military, buy lottery tickets and buy cigarettes — at least for now.
Lawmakers in New York have adopted new legislation that will raise the legal limit to buy tobacco products in the five boroughs to 21. The legislation also sets the strictest tobacco limits in any major U.S. city.
The surgeon general has been warning about the dangers of smoking for nearly 50 years, and the health risks are clear for most. But the question remains: What is the appropriate age for young adults to legally be able to purchase a dangerous and addictive substance?
There may not be a right answer, but everyone seems to have an opinion.
Marisa Montoya, a senior from Denver, Colo., who is a smoker, thinks it could potentially make an impact on young smokers.
"I think it's a good idea," Montoya said. "It kind of sucks for younger people, but maybe it will keep some kids from smoking."
The idea behind this legislation is that it will prevent young adults from starting the habit, but the
theory may be flawed. According to the food and Drug Administration, 88 percent of adult smokers began smoking before they were even 18.
"It's just like with alcohol; if people want to smoke, they're going to smoke," said Katie Gordon, a senior from St. Louis. "There's always another way to get it."
"If I couldn't buy cigarettes anymore that would be awesome," Ruhmann said. "It's a really terrible habit and I want to kick it."
it kids are starting to smoke at 11, 14 or 16 years old, raising the age restriction might not combat the problem. Kendall Ruhmann, a sophomore from Springfield, Mo., is a 19-year-old smoker who picked up the habit at 16 and grew up around parents who smoked. For her, the stress of school makes it hard to quit, but she would welcome a change that would force her to quit.
In Kansas, as in most states, the legal age for buying any tobacco product is currently 18. But there are a few states that have already increased the legal age.
Utah, Alaska, Alabama and New Jersey have set the legal age to buy tobacco products at 19. Doctors in California are also pushing to do the same in their state.

Maine candidate for governor announces he's gay
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Maine - Rep. Mike Michaud had endured more than a dozen elections without anyone questioning his sexuality. Now everyone knows the Maine congressman is gay - including his mother.
ALEXANDER KIMBROOK
The 58-year-old Michaud said Monday that he told his mom that he was gay just hours before he released an op-ed in which he came out publicly. He said he wrote the piece to end "whisper campaigns, insinuations and push-polls" that were dogging his gubernatorial campaign.
"It was a difficult decision to tell my sister and my mother," Michaud said in his Portland campaign office hours after he released an op-ed. His mother, sister and five other siblings said through his campaign staff that they didn't want to be interviewed.
U. S. Rep. Mike Michaud talks to an Associated Press reporter Monday in Portland, Maine, about his public announcement that he is gay. The Democrat is running for governor in 2014 in a three-way race.
ence professor at the University of Maine.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The announcement lifts the profile of a three-way race in which the six-term congressman and former paper mill worker is running close in the polls with Gov. Paul LePage, the Republican incumbent. Also in the race is wealthy independent Eliot Cutler.
With Michaud's announcement, there are now seven members of the U.S. House who are openly gay, along with one member of the U.S. Senate. There are no openly gay governors.
Michaud's coming out elicited statements of support.
But the ramifications were unclear. Maine approved gay marriage last year.
"It makes things more interesting. There's no doubt about that," said Mark Brewer, a political sci-
"We applaud Congressman Michaud and look forward to working with him in the future," said Chuck Wolfe, president and CEO of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, adding that "his example will promote understanding and show the importance of being open and honest about who you are."
Michaud's acknowledgement that he's gay could mean big contributions from gay rights groups. It also could win over some liberal voters concerned about his "blue dog" image and votes on abortion. But it also could cost him the votes of some socially conservative supporters.
By nature, Michaud said he doesn't like talking about himself. Quiet and unassuming, he worked for more than 29 years in the Great Northern Paper Mill in East Millinocket, where his father and grandfather worked. He keeps his lunch box in his office as a reminder.
"I ran for office 17 times and it's never been an issue. However, someone or some group definitely tried to make it an issue in this campaign, and I decided to put it right out there on the table," he told the AP.
He said the decision to announce that he was gay was not easy. He told his mother and sister on Sunday as his staff was preparing to release his op-ed to The Associated Press and two newspapers.

Cutler's campaign denied any involvement in dirty tricks and said Michaud's disclosure should have no bearing on the race. LePage's campaign declined to comment.
from Critical Insights in Portland, said she doubted that Miacha's announcement would have a big impact on the race for governor. People are more concerned about the economy and health care, she added.
"He is a politician who has been in the public eye for a significant amount of time. He has a track record that people can judge him on, and I don't think his sexual

orientation is generally going to be a factor," FitzGerald said. "Because he's a known entity, I don't think this is going to change opinions of him."
But he remains a private person. He said he hopes his opponents will respect his decision to go public, and that they'll join him in waging a positive campaign that
focuses on issues.
"My personal life has never factored into how I do my job, whether I was working in the mill for over 29 years, whether it was during my time in the Legislature or as a member of Congress. My personal life never factored into it, and it won't factor into how I'd be governor," he said.

Kan. DA plans listening tours on Senate decision
TOPEKA, Kan. — A northeast Kansas prosecutor said Monday he'll conduct a series of listening tours across the state before formally deciding whether to run for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat.
No other Democrat has publicly expressed an interest in the race. Roberts, a conservative who's served in the Senate since 1997 and has been a fixture in Kansas politics for more than three decades, already faces a challenge in the Republican primary in August 2014 from Dr. Milton Wolf, a Leawood radiologist.
Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor disclosed those plans as he announced the formation of an exploratory committee on his 40th birthday. If Taylor runs next year, he'll be seeking the seat held by veteran Republican Sen. Pat Roberts.

"It is what I would consider to be a high-water mark of frustration with the leadership we have in Washington right now." Taylor said during an interview.

Towns acknowledged that Kansas voters are frustrated with Congress but added they see Roberts as a tested conservative.
Wolf has criticized Roberts for not being conservative enough on tax, budget and health care issues, and said in a statement Monday that most Americans "want to clean house in next year's elections."
"They understand that Pat Roberts is the guy back there fighting for them," Towns said.

Federal appeals court halts horse slaughterhouses
ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A federal appeals court on Monday temporarily halted plans by companies in New Mexico and Missouri to begin slaughtering horses, continuing on-again, off-again efforts to resume domestic equine slaughter two years after Congress lifted a ban on the practice.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Horses feed in Valencia County at the Dennis Chavez feedlot in Los Lunas, N.M. A federal appeals court temporarily halted plans to begin slaughtering horses.
Rains Natural Meats of Gallatin, Mo., emphasized the order was temporary.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver issued a temporary injunction barring the Department of Agriculture from inspecting the plants, which were gearing up to open in the coming days after a federal judge in Albuquerque on Friday dismissed a lawsuit by The Humane Society of the United States. The Humane Society and other animal protection groups alleged the department failed to conduct proper environ- environmental studies when it issued permits to the slaughterhouses.
The Humane Society filed an immediate appeal and won an emergency injunction.
"Horse slaughter is a predatory, inhumane business, and we are pleased to win another round in the courts to block killing of these animals on American soil for export to Italy and Japan," said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States. "Meanwhile, we are redoubling our efforts in Congress to secure a permanent ban on the slaughter of our horses throughout North America."

We look forward to a quick decision when the facts are considered and the District Court's careful decision is reviewed."
Valley Meat Co. owner Rick De Los Santos has been fighting for two years for approval to open. He converted his small, struggling cattle slaughterhouse in southern New Mexico to take advantage of a shift in Congress that lifted a ban on funding for inspections at horse slaughterhouses.

POLICY
Voters asked to OK sales tax for medical research
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Supporters of a proposed half-cent sales tax to pay for medical research say Tuesday's election is a unique opportunity for Jackson County voters to invest an innovative future that will make Kansas City synonymous with something other than barbecue.
Opponents question why middle- and lower-income Jackson County residents still trying to recover from the recession should be responsible for bulking up research budgets of two local hospitals and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
The tax would raise about $40 million a year $800 million over its 20-year lifespan — to pay for medical research at Children's Mercy Hospital, St. Luke's hospitals and UMKC'S four health
professional schools. Children's Mercy would get half of the proceeds, while St. Luke's and UMKC would get 20 percent apiece. The remaining 10 percent would go toward research-related economic development, as determined by the Jackson County Institute
for Translational Medicine, an umbrella organization that would be created to oversee spending.
to hire scientists, researchers and support staff with the sales tax money.
If Jackson County voters approve the measure on Tuesday's ballot, Donald J. Hall and the Hall Family Foundation promise to build a $75 million home for the institute at Children's Mercy. That pledge, the largest ever made by the foundation, would allow the hospital
Supporters say it's a rare opportunity to establish Kansas City as a national medical research hub, complementing medical assets already in place in the metro area

DAVID WESTBROOK senior vice president at Children's Mercy
including the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
"Translational means translating medical research to patient care," said Steve Glorioso, a spokesman
for the pro-tax Committee for Research, Treatment and Cures. "A lot of this is going to be about treatment of people."
Approval would result in nearly 240 new jobs and have a $600 million impact in the first decade, according to the Civic Council of Greater Kansas City, which pushed to have the tax measure put on the ballot. The council, comprised of the area's top chief executives, has long promoted the idea that life sciences research can boost the region's economy.
"This tax is a mechanism to finance innovation," said David Westbrook, senior vice president for strategy and innovation at Children's Mercy. "The good news about our campaign is that nobody has quarreled with our agenda. There has been some dissent in how we're going to pay for it."
Opponents, such as the League of Women Voters and the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City St. Joseph, say the sales tax is regressive and puts the burden on the people who can least afford it. For every $100
spent in Jackson County, shoppers would pay an additional 50 cents on top of existing sales taxes.
"If you have a six-figure income, it's not that much," said Linda Vogel Smith, president of the KC chapter of the League of Women Voters. "There are 30,000 people in Jackson County who have no health insurance. They do not have access to the kind of health care that those who are more affluent have, yet they are being asked to pay this tax."
She said her organization doesn't oppose medical research, but believes there are other sources of financial support. Among those are the National Institutes of Health, which in 2011 gave the University of Kansas Medical Center a nearly $20 million Clinical and Translational Science grant.

Flu vaccination myths are harmful to public health
If you have had the flu, you know how miserable it can be. Your body starts to ache. You have a cough, a runny nose, a fever and relentless stomach problems. It's the last thing you want as the semester starts to wind down. Luckily, the flu is preventable with
vaccination.
Unfortunately, this is also the time when anti-vaccine statuses, tweets and articles start to surface in social media. These articles are from alarmists, controverss and radicals citing misinformative news from homeopathy websites

like Mercola, and other blogs that blame neurological disorders on vaccines. Here are the top five nonsensical myths these articles share that I want to debunk:
1. The flu vaccine can give you the flu.
This is the most common misconception about the flu. The vaccine is made with the inactivated virus that cannot transmit infection. It takes a week or two to get protection from the vaccine, but it takes two to five days for the flu to incubate in the body. So if you get sick after the vaccine, then you must have contracted the virus prior to being vaccinated. The nasal spray is slightly different, containing a live virus. However, the virus has been weakened so
that it cannot cause
2. You do not have to get the flu shot annually.
that it cannot cause the flu.
The influenza virus mutates (changes) each year. Getting vaccinated each year is important to make sure you have immunity to the strains that are causing the outbreak at that specific time.
3. The flu vaccine causes nerve disorders such as Guillain Barre Syndrome.
GBS is an autoimmune disorder that attack's the person's nerve tissue, potentially causing permanent paralysis and muscle weakness. It affects about one person out of every 100,000 individuals. There was a slightly increased risk of contracting GBS during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, according to two studies. One study found a risk of one additional case for every 1 million vaccinations. Keep in mind this only applied to H1N1, not the seasonal flu vaccine. People tend to clump data and rationalize it for all vaccines.
4. If I get the flu, I can take antibiotics to get rid of it.
1nis makes any pharmacy or
antibiotics to get rid of it.
health student cringe. Antibiotics fight against bacteria, NOT viruses. The flu is a virus.
5. it just rely on herd immunity.
This is a form of immunity that occurs when the vaccination of a significant portion of a population provides protection for individuals who have not developed immunity. Theoretically, herd immunity works if at least 95 percent of the population becomes immune to the virus. If everyone relies on herd immunity, then no one will get the vaccination. This severely increases the chance of a population getting the flu.
The flu is a good example of how medical myths can get in the way of medical care. The fact that this is an annual vaccine results in many new and ridiculous myths against the flu vaccination each year. During this flu season, get the vaccination and stay healthy.

Hospice patients provide insights on living a happier life
In the quest for a truly happy life, we all seek guidance. Some may seek it at an altar on their knees. Some may seek it from their mature, aged and experienced parents, because let's face it they have been right about a lot of things. Some may seek guidance independently, free of opinion and bias.
I always believed the formula for a happy life was subjective. We all have our own unique concepts of what a good life should be. But that's not entirely true: happiness can be a universal emotion that we all feel in certain situations.
By Bryenn Bierwirth
bbierwirth@kansan.com
I reached out to a hospice center to learn more about the universal formula for happiness, and asked for guidance from patients there. These gracious and zealous people were more than willing to spread wisdom to today's youth. They shared knowledge of heartache, triumph, remorse, regret, resentment and disappointment. But when their shadow of time expires, and the sunset is behind them, what most of them still yearned to do was have a positive impact on someone's life, or at least guide someone into making some better life choices.
Without any hesitation, I volunteer my life for their lessons not wanting to miss out on their wisdom.
Below are the four universal keys to happiness. If you adhere to this guidance and learn the formula for happiness from a young age, you won't have so
many regrets.
1) Allow yourself to be happy. When the end is near and reflection is all you have, the patients realized they lost sight of the value of happiness, and forgot that it is a choice. They got so caught up in habits that they became too comfortable to cut loose and be themselves. The fear of change, in fact, changed them into different people. On the inside, all they wanted was to laugh and have silliness restored to their lives. They wanted to smile more - a beautiful and easy lesson to learn in your youth.
2) Don't work too much. It's great to grow old with your family, but it's even better to be active in each family member's life. A patient I talked to regretted missing children's and grandchildren's youth and undermining their partner's companionship and love. In retrospect, it isn't so important to have the income that you think you need. Instead, create more time, not more money, in your life for people and new opportunities. Simplicity is where happiness truly exists.
3) Stay true to yourself.
While on their deathbed, the patients longed to go back and replace their mediocre existence with something more profound. They wished they hadn't left any stones unturned, but they had. A lot of them said they felt like they didn't truly reach their full potential, fearing that they'd hurt feelings and get in uncomfortable situations, so they kept quiet and peaceful. Some even developed sicknesses as a result of stress, resentment and bitterness. Although we can't control the reactions of others, being honest prevents regret and yields happiness later. Never be scared to say how you feel.
4) They wish they fulfilled their dreams. When these patients went to bed each night, not knowing when they would meet their maker, they thought about all the old dreams they had envisioned for themselves. They made a lot of decisions that steered them away from their goals or made up excuses for why their dreams were never possible in the first place. But no dream is too big to accomplish. Try to fulfill as many goals as you can while you're young - and, more importantly, healthy. When your health starts to deteriorate, dreams become more and more fragile, until you're lying on your death bed picking up the pieces of the dreams you never made time for.

Fighting right can help relationships
fighting with loved ones and friends is something
Fighting with loved ones and friends is something everyone must go through at some point in their lives. Many believe that fighting can actually strengthen relationships when done well. Unfortunately, not everyone has the level-headedness to argue with dignity. With the staggering divorce rate in the country, it seems obvious to suggest that fights over fidelity, finance and parenting would be the main culprits. However, psychologists have noted that how couples fight is much more important than what they fight over.
Now, before I continue, you are probably wondering "why should I take relationship advice from you?" First, this isn't relationship advice. This is life advice. Knowing how to empathize when arguing is useful in any kind of relationship. If that doesn't convince you, perhaps you should take a look at a study conducted by John Gottman, who was able to predict with 94 percent accuracy whether or not couples would later divorce based on a three-minute sample of an argument between the two.
So, what exactly did his study yield? The couples that were less accusatory and abrasive were far better off than the finger-pointing, flaw-finding, disastrous couples. Indeed, gentleness was essential in effective fighting as shown in this study. What does gentleness look like? There are several things I've noticed that work when dealing with any conflict.
Most importantly, it's all about validation. People want to know that they are being listened to. I'm sure that whosew you are arguing with will be far more
By Will Ashley
washley@kansan.com
It doesn't take a superb imagination to believe that your last argument would have ended nicely if so-and-so had been gentler and understood how you really felt. And perhaps you could have been more explicit there to. I believe there is hope for all relationships. The world is kind, and people can get along – it may just take some argumentative ju-jitsu to get there.
As it turns out, not everyone is a sociopath. People do have the ability to empathize. Saying "I feel ___" is the best way to garner empathy. Furthermore, be explicit is essential. The other person needs to know why you are upset, rather than dealing with passive aggressive hints. Oh, and this is not a license to say "I feel that you are an idiot." No criticism, no accusations.
responsive to "I can see that you are really upset with ___" rather than "you're being too whiny." Additionally, avoid being critical. This seems really trite, since arguments tend to be critically based. However, try reminding yourself that there is a 94 percent chance that you will not get what you want if you criticize. Instead, focus on how you feel.

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars
know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 9
Participate社会 this month, and get lost in fascinating philosophical conversation. Others are looking to you for a decision. Once you commit you'll find freedom and release. And others can make their own. Perform an anonymous good deed.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8
Travel looks tempting, but postpone until tomorrow, if possible (or just dance with some surprises).Ignore someone who says you'll fail, and make a list of goals. Plan actions and strategies to support your team.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today is a 9
Don't let obstacles slow you down. Practice with your teammate to break records. Get old business handled. The next month is good for saving money and handling finances. Go for fast, fun productivity.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is an 8
Female magnetism pays a big role in today's successes. Strengthen partnerships this month. Costs may be higher than expected. Proceed with caution, but you can handle it. Compromise, delegate and don't underestimate the power of cookies.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is an 8
Be careful. For four weeks, work gets exceptionally fun. Don't get distracted while chopping. What could thrive in such a creative environment? Make a mess and find out. Spend time in contemplation. Keep it practical.
re Trevor
ber.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7
Luscious romance takes center stage. Dance your way into the spotlight. Others give you support in your career, but you have to be willing to receive it. Postpone travel for now.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8
Opposition to your ideas could arise.
They probably have a good reason.
Try their shoes on, and walk a mile,
before responding. At least you'll get
some exercise and learn something
new. Make your own choices.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 9
You're even smarter than usual. A conflict of interests shows up at your door. Try to understand other people's feelings and it goes easier. Get outside perspectives. Keep your finances ethical.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 9
At first, the task may seem impossible. Looking at it more closely or from a different angle reveals new data. Gather new income now. You find your comfort zone, and confidence soars.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7
Don't throw money at the problem or you could very well make it worse. Worrying about it won't take you anywhere. Use patience and brains. Define how you'd like it to go. Someone finds that very romantic.
aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 9
Finish old jobs and new ones flourish and spark over the next month. Pad the schedule for setbacks. Decline an expensive invitation. Listen to a wise relative or a realistic friend. Spice your creation with subtlety.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is an 8
Imagine yourself in an earlier time. You're especially popular, but your social life could cause a problem at home. Find the perfect balance by communicating your passion and acknowledging your support team.

Title: "Suddenly Everything Has Changed"
CHVRCHES
**Changed"**
**Artist:** The Postal Service
**Album:** The District Sleeps Alone
Tonight (2003)
Released in 2003 by Death Cab for Cutie's frontman, Ben Gibbard. "Suddenly Everything Has Changed" is a mellow song with a melody that can put listeners in a trance. One of the lesser-known Postal Service songs, tidescribes the ever-changing paths of life as it moves forward; an appropriate song to play at the end of the day.
Title: "You Caught the Light" VIRGIN

Chvrches "You Caught the Light" is another slow song with an electronic vibe that seems like it could have been pulled directly out of the 80s. The ending track to their 2013 album, the song possesses a lot of space that allows it to build up and take its listener for a ride. A good song for any fan of emotion-filled melodies.

A powerful post-rock song, "Stolen Moments" comes from the Ohio-based band The Six Parts Seven. It's composed of simple guitar riffs, a jazzy rhythm section and a horn section to accentuate its authenticity. Like that of all good instrumental bands, the music speaks for itself — the song is carefully composed to bring out all of the emotions on its own.

He cautioned against overestimating the value of the collection before it had been thoroughly assessed. "We need to see whether these were originals or prints," he told The Associated Press.

ing influence on the German people. Their "deviant" characteristics were often attributed to Jewish corruption, and thousands of such works were seized.
Title: KC Accidental
Artist: Broken Social Scene
Album: You Forget it in People (2003)
"KC Accidental" has nothing to do with Kansas City. The song's title is an allusion to the name of the original band consisting of Kevin Drew and Charles Spearin, two current members of Broken Social Scene. The song is four minutes of what could otherwise be referred to as a jam-track, consisting of repetitive guitar riffs and a steady drum beat that incorporates an awful lot of energy.
It is one that is worth a listen.
NIRVANA
"BLEACH"
Album: Bleach (1989)
Title: "Floyd the Barber"SUB POP RECORDS
Artist: Nirvana
From Nirvana first studio album "Bleach," an LP that was recorded on a budget of $600, "Floyd the Barber" is a song that captures the heavy essence that remained so prominent through Nirvana's successful — albeit short-lived — existence. The song is dominated by Krist Novoselic's heavy bass lines, backed by forceful drumming and powered on Kurt Cobain's rough, ranging vocals.
Title: "Tame One"
Artist: Your Friends
Album: Jewl/IIyDEHP
Lawrence musician Your Friend released her debut EP "Jekyll/ Hyde" this past August, and it is an impressive piece of work. The vocals on "Tame One" possess the ethereal, spacey quality that powers the instrumental progression throughout the track. A lot of reverb on this track makes it rich and delightful to listen to.
Title: "Smoke Like Ribbons"
Artist: Ugly Casanova
Album: Sharpen Your Teeth (2002)
A creation of Modest Mouse's frontman, Isaac Brock, Ugly Casanova produces music that resembles a more folk-sounding side of Brock. Slideguitar, banjo and fiddle are all incorporated into this song. "Smoke Like Ribbons" is only one of the great songs that can be found in the band's discography and a must-listen for any fan of Modest Mouse.
Title: "Inside Job"
Artist: Pearl Jam
Album: Pearl Jam (2006)
Off Pearl Jam's eponymous release, "Inside Job" takes its listener into a world of honesty. With its opening lyrics — "Underneath this smile lies everything / All my hopes and anger, pride and shame" — there's a guarantee that the song will be a poetic gem. Sung in the traditional Eddie Vedder fashion, this track exemplifies how and why Pearl Jam has been around for as long as it has.

Title: "Life Goes On"
Artist: 2pac
Album: All Eyes on Me (1996)
"Life Goes On" is one of the most significant Tupak Shakur songs because the album it was released on, "All Eyez on Me," was the last that Tupak recorded before his death in September of 1996. The song is one that showcases his impressive lyrical talent — one that seems to be missing from modern-day hip-hop — and revels in its nostalgic tone.
Title: "Shook Ones, Pt. II"
Artist: Mobb Deep
**AUDIO:** the inimitable (1959)
Another classic hip-hop track, Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones, Pt. II" is a rap ballad that has all the best things about the hard-to-ignore '90s hip-hop sound. The duo were in their early 20s when the album "The Infamous" was released, yet Mobb Deep came to be as well-known and successful as rappers such as Nas and the Notorious B.I.G.

with five weeks left, fifth-ranked Baylor (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) is the league's only undefeated team and controls its fate for its first Big 12 title. The Bears get their toughest test of the year Thursday night when they host their first ranked opponent, No. 12 Oklahoma (7-1, 4-1), which beat rising star and No. 25 Texas Tech in its last game.
Baylor also has games left against Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Texas, and a trip to rival TCU. The Bears have won a school-record 11 games in a row since a loss to the Sooners last season.
"From a realistic standpoint, we just feel like this season is just getting started," Bears coach Art Briles said Monday. "I know we've played seven games, but we're ready and willing and anxious to get into the grind time, get into where we're fighting and scraping for every single thing that's out there, and that's the way we've always approached the game."
There are several games remaining between now at the first weekend of December that match teams in the upper half of the Big 12 standings
"This will be probably the most exciting and fun five weeks in the history of the Big 12," said Texas coach Mack Brown, whose Long-horns have won all five of their Big 12 games since going 1-2 in their non-conference games. "Our league's got some huge games left. It should be a lot of fun."
After hosting Kansas (2-6, 0-5) this week, 15th-ranked Oklahoma
State (7-1, 4-1) has consecutive games against Texas and Baylor. Texas Tech (7-2, 4-2), which has lost to the two Oklahoma schools the past two weeks, plays Kansas State before ending the regular season with its chance against the only two teams without a league loss so far, including a trip to Texas on Thanksgiving night.
If all that isn't enough to settle things, there are the two potential blockbuster games to end the regular season Dec. 7. Texas goes to Baylor as the last opponent ever at Floyd Casey Stadium in a possible title-deciding game. And there is the Bedlam Series with the Sooners going to Oklahoma State.
"There's a lot of great games, and so much to be decided," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.
"We talked last night as a team only about Kansas," OSU coach Mike Gundy said Monday. "That's
the great thing about college football. The way the BCS is set up, essentially we're in March Madness every week."
Based on this week's BCS standings, no league has more Top 25 conference matchups over the rest of the regular season than the four for the Big 12. The 14-team SEC, has four teams more than the Big 12, also has four while the Pac-12 has two such games.
Oklahoma shared last year's Big 12 title with Kansas State (4-4,2-3) a definite longshot for another championship even after winning its last two games.
A year after the Big 12 sent a record 90 percent of its teams to bowls, it is the only conference so far this season to have half of its teams bowl eligible.

Iowa State (1-7, 0-5) has already been eliminated from bowl contention and TCU (3-6, 1-5), with
its first three-game losing streak in coach Gary Patterson's 13 seasons, has to win the rest of its games to avoid the same fate. Kansas (2-6, 0-5) has lost 26 consecutive conference games.
Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury, left, and Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops, right, talk before the start of their NCAA college football game in Norman, Okla. Saturday, Oct. 26.
West Virginia, coming off a big overtime victory at TCU, hasn't had a losing season since going 3-8 in 2001. That was the last time the Mountainees (4-5, 2-4) didn't go to a bowl game.

Baylor finally gets a
Baylor will face a ranked team for the first time this season when it matches up with Oklahoma on Thursday night.
Oklahoma is the last team to beat Baylor. Baylor has faced a different situation this season because it's been the conference favorite.
It's a little different scenario, but we certainly don't view
it that way. From a realistic standpoint this season is just getting started coach Art Briles said in the weekly Big 12 conference call.
Oklahoma, which is accustomed to having a first-rate defense, saw some setbacks last year. This year it has taken a noticeable push forward.
"It's been improved, I think mostly we got more speed on the field," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said in the weekly Big 12 conference call.
Baylor doesn't run any complicated offensive schemes, and spreads four and five wide. And, as it has been advertised this season, it beats teams from one sideline to the other.
"They're not trying to fool you, they're just going to stretch you out." Stoops said. "You got to have to enough to keep them off balance and hopefully we have that mix."
Chelf not available to the media the rest of the season
Oklahoma State senior quarterback Clint Chelt is off limits to the media for the rest of the year according to coach Mike Gundy. Chelf has been
part of the quarterback carousel for the Cowboys. Last year, Chelf went from starter to backup and vice versa numerous times.
Gundy's reasoning is simple, as he said Sunday.
"Ever since we have started the year, there has been nothing but media opinion on who should play quarterback," Gundy said in the teleconference. "And there is not really anything they can say about themselves or each other that is productive for the overall chemistry of the team, and me neither."
Gundy said it'd be better to
keep them away from media until the season was over.
Chelf is coming off a rollercoaster win in which he threw two interceptions and two touchdowns, and also ran for two touchdowns, including a 67-yard run.
TCU offense struggles again
TCU's offensive struggles have been well documented throughout the season with the shifting of quarterbacks and the injury to starting senior quarterback Casey Pachall.
Pachall has struggled behind a thin line and lack of playmakers as coach Gary Patterson shook things up last Saturday against West Virginia.
TCU put second-string quarterback and former starter Trevone Boykin at wide receiver. He had 11 receptions for 100 yards.
"Having Trevone Boykin at wide receiver helped him have a go-to guy... I think he did a great job of getting the ball out his hands." Patterson said of Pachall in the weekly Big 12 conference call.
While Pachall had one of
the best games of his career, TCU turned it over four times, which included two interceptions from Pachall. The Horned Frogs are trying to stop its three-game losing streak. The streak is the school's longest since 1998 as it looks to find some cohesiveness on offense.
Patterson said he wouldn't look to make any changes this late in the season when it comes to his coaching staff and will let everything else play out.

Calhoun leads UConn to rout of Concordia
HARTFORD, Conn. — Omar Calhoun scored 16 points to help No. 18 Connecticut beat Concordia University 98-38 in an exhibition game Monday night. UConn coach Kevin Ollie got a good look at his entire roster in the lopsided contest. Niels Giffey scored 12 points, DeAndre Daniels added 11 and Terrence Samuel finished with 10 points and 12 assists.
The Huskies scored the first 10 points of the game and led by as much as 26 in the first half on the way to a 42-18 lead at halftime.
Nat Pearson led Concordia with 11 points. Concordia, a Division III team from Chicago, was 4-21 overall in 2012-13.
UConn, eligible for postseason play again after an NCAA ban in 2012-13, opens the regular season Nov. 8 against Maryland at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
With starting point guard Naadir Thurpe suspended for the season opener, Kansas coach Bill Self will be giving Frank Mason a chance to run the offense against Fort Hays State in the second exhibition game. It's a nice opportunity for Mason to familiarize himself with Self's offense and start to build some in-game chemistry with the rest of the Jayhawks.
Conner Frankamp
PLAYER TO WATCH
Self said that the sharp-shooting freshman was over-thinking himself a tad in the preseason opener. The stat sheer
Frankamp
would agree as Frankkamp went 0-3 on the night. 'It'll be interesting to see how he responds in his second game in the Fieldhouse.
QUESTION MARK
Will the Jayhawks be more adjusted to the new hand-checking fouls?
Last game had virtually no flow or rhythm thanks to an abundance of foul calls. With more time to practice the new defensive change, can Kansas cut back on in the whistles?
BY THE NUMBERS
50 Number of combined fouts between the Jayhawks and Gorillas in last week's exhibition
46 Points off the bench for the Jayhawks so far
31. 5 Pittsburg State's field goal percentage against Kansas
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF...
The Jayhawks come out calm, loose and with few signs of slowing down. First game jitters are normal, but once you move past that you'd like to see some more action. If Kansas can come out of the tunnel and execute from the start, it'll be a good night.

with Naadir Tharpe suspended for the first regular season game, Kansas coach Bill Self has decided to give freshman Frank Mason a chance to get the offense going against Fort Hays State.

Selden got into a bit of foul trouble early in last week's exhibition opener, which led to him having a quieter night than most would've liked. Selden finished with five points and two assists. There's no question Selden is capable of much more and will look to play a bigger role in his second game at Allen Fieldhouse.
James Fleming, Guard
A Fort Scott Community College transfer, Fleming starred for the Tigers in their exhibition game against Bethel with 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting, including 6-of-7 from the three-point line in only 14 minutes of playing time.

After scoring 16 points against Pitt State, Wiggins admitted to Bill Self that he had trouble shaking off the nerves in the early goings. As the game went on, Wiggins showed flashes of his sky-high ceiling with a few athletic plays. It's only natural for the kid to be a little intimidated playing on James Naismith Court for the first time, but he'll only get more comfortable.

Averaged nine points a game last season and ranked second on the team in three-point field goals made and three-point field goal percentage. The senior guard struggled against Bethel in limited action with just two points on four field goal attempts.

Perry Ellis, Forward
★★★★★
There wasn't much more you could ask of Ellis against the Gorillas. The sophomore tied for leading the team in scoring with 16 points while snatching eight rebounds. No signs of rust as Ellis seemed to dominate down low, albeit against some of the easier competition he'll face this year.

Tarik Black, Forward
Black was another Jayhawk who found himself in foul trouble soon after tipoff. The new hand-check rules seemed to get the best of the senior transfer until he found his groove in the second half and responded with blocks on consecutive possessions. It's hard not to like his 3-4 shooting either.
Jake Stoppel, Forward
★★★☆★
A transfer from Neosho County Community College, the 6-foot-5 Stoppel led Neosho in scoring and rebounding. Against Bethel, the sophomore forward grabbed six rebounds, including four offensive rebounds in 15 minutes. His all-around performance included six points, a block and a steal.

How will the Tigers compensate for their lack of height?
The Jayhawks have a serious height advantage over the Tigers at all positions. Fort Hays State may have to rely on some bench players depending on who Kansas has on the floor. At 6-foot-7, Brunson is the tallest player in the starting lineup for the Tigers.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What was the last year the Boston Red Sox won the World Series before going without a championship for 86 years until 2004?
A: 1918
MLB.com
THE MORNING BREW
The best celebrations come from the worst tragedies
The World Series champion Boston Red Sox paraded through downtown Boston Saturday to celebrate the win with their fans. An estimated two million people braved the northeastern cold and watched as 25 duck boats carried the Red Sox players and executives through the streets. This was a celebration for a city that dealt with tragedy. Nobody will forget what happened at the Boston Marathon, and the Red Sox organization did a fantastic job of honoring the victims.
This was the Red Sox's third World Series championship in the past ten years. This is a great accomplishment for an organization that had gone 86 years without winning the World Series before finally being victorious in 2004. Even with this in mind, this year's championship will be the most memorable to the organization, as well as the city of Boston.
By Michael Portman
mportman@kansan.com
When the duck boats arrived at the fin
ish line of the Boston Marathon, emotions filled the air. As tears streamed down fans' faces, outfielder Jonny Gomes placed the World Series trophy on the finish line while holding a jersey that read "Boston Strong 617." To add to the emotional moment, "God Bless America" was sung by classical singer Ronan Tynan, who used to sing for the New York Yankees. In an interview after the parade, Gomes explained
that what he did at the finish line was impromptu.
Once "God Bless America" ended, the parade continued with many of the players jumping off of the duck boats and talking with fans in the crowd; some of the fans included those affected by the tragedy during the Boston Marathon in April. Although a lot of the fans were emotional when interacting with the players, they were grateful that the team could lift their spirits and help them recover. The Red Sox players weren't forced to reach out to the fans - rat chose to do so.
THE BREW
The parade was a celebration of a team overcoming tragedy. What the Boston Red Sox did to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon was truly spectacular and unforgettable. All of the sports world will remember this day as not only a World Series championship, but a tribute to the city.

Marcus Smart leads AP preseason All-America team
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A lot of people were shocked when Marcus Smart announced he would return to Oklahoma State for his sophomore season. Nobody should be surprised the Cowboys point guard was a unanimous selection to The Associated Press' preseason All-America team.
Smart was on every ballot from the 65-member national media panel Monday, a no-brainer since he was expected to be among the first players chosen if he had declared for the NBA draft. The last unanimous preseason All-America was Ohio State's Jared Sullinger in 2011-12.
After averaging 15.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 3.0 steals last season in winning the Big 12
player of year award, it was how the Cowboys fared in the NCAA tournament that had a lot to do with his coming back.
"I felt like we had a lot more to accomplish," Smart said of the loss to Oregon in Oklahoma State's opening game of the NCAA tournament. "We were a lot better team than that. That's just not the way we wanted to go out. It helped me a little bit to get motivated to come back this year."
Smart was joined on the preseason All-America team by seniors Doug McDermott of Creighton and Russ Smith of Louisville, sophomore Mitch McGary of Michigan and freshman Andrew Wiggins of Kansas.
The 6-foot-4 Smart, who also won the Wayman Tisdale Award as the country's top freshman, said
he's also coming back to improve to his 1.3-to-1 assist-turnover ratio and his 40 percent shooting from the field, including just 29 percent from 3-point range.
Still, he said the decision to pass up millions of dollars and return to Stillwater was "the most difficult thing in my life."
ticn in my life McDermott, the Missouri Valley Conference player of the year last season after averaging 23.2 points and 7.7 rebounds, was on all but two ballots. He enters the season with a chance at joining an exclusive group. A two-time first-team All-America. McDermott could become just the 11th player to be a three-time postseason selection and the first since Patrick Ewing of Georgetown and Tisdale at Oklahoma from 1983-85.
The 6-8 forward is one four
returning starters for the Bluejays and coach Greg McDermott, Doug's father. Creighton moves to the Big East this season.
"I'm looking at this season as an opportunity to embrace a new challenge," he said. "We know it's much more physical and there are a lot more athletes than we're used to. We've prepared ourselves pretty well. We know it's going to be a grind and we're looking forward to that."
to that. The 6-foot Smith, who received 52 votes, averaged 18.7 points and 2.9 assists in helping the Cardinals win the national championship. He won't have the graduated Peyton Siva with him in the backcourt but coach Rick Pitino will still be calling the shots.
"I realized how much I loved playing with my teammates and
how much fun it is to win." Smith said of returning for his senior year, "and this is part of the purpose of being a national champion. Obviously, I wasn't a clear cut first-round pick, so coming back was mainly because of coach, my teammates, the Louisville campus, the community, graduating."
Wiggins, just the second freshman to earn preseason honors since the team was first selected for the 1986-87 season, averaged 23.4 points and 11.2 rebounds as a senior at Huntington (W.Va.) Prep School. He was on 42 ballots and joins Harrison Barnes of North Carolina in 2010-11 as the only freshmen to earn preseason honors.

COMMENTARY
Tough early schedule hurts Kansas football
The scheduling committee did Kansas football no favors by saving its easiest games for the end of the season.
At Kansas, a reasonable goal for the football team year in and year out is to have momentum going into basketball season. If Jayhawk fans are still interested in football at the time of Kansas' first regular season game at the Phog, then the football team is clearly doing something right. Kansas is undoubtedly a basketball school, but it still stands behind its football team if it is putting a halfway-decent product on the field. Fans are certainly capable of supporting both sports.
The problem is that Jayhawk football has sputtered as basketball season has commenced. The words "at least basketball is starting" have been mutted from Daisy Hill to the Kansas Union and everywhere in between. The football team's poor record has made it difficult for fans to maintain a high level of interest, especially with Andrew Wiggins and the rest of his upstart teammates ready to take the college basketball world by storm.
This brings me to the schedule.
Against Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas, Kansas was the clear underdog. It was only a marginal underdog against TCU, but that is because TCU unexpectedly lost its starting quarterback Casey Pachall to injury. Consistent with expectations, Kansas lost every one of those games.
This brings me to the schedule.
Instead, Charlie Weis must deal with a losing culture once again. Kansas will likely take the field in front of a sparse crowd against West Virginia. Memorial Stadium will be full for the Kansas State game, but the buzz and electricity in the air won't be near the same.
Kansas could win its final three games and many people wouldn't even notice.

That's what happens when its foot ball program is out of bowl content before November.
However, Kansas' final three football games are all winable, and two of them are at home. West Virginia will stride into Lawrence, followed by an away game at Iowa State and a home game against Kansas State
GAMEDAY PREVIEW
Kansas takes on Fort Hays State
PAGE 10
Its next game is against Oklahoma State in Stillwater. The spread has not been announced, but the Cowboys should be favored by anywhere between 20 and 30 points. If Kansas is unable to pull the incredible upset, the Jayhawks will fall to 2-7 overall with an 0-6 conference record.
If these three games were at or near the beginning of the conference season, Kansas might have sustained enough momentum to keep fans engaged even as basketball season started. Wins beget more wins, and a change of attitude in the locker room could have meant that Kansas would have hung with its tough brethren down South.
That sound you hear in the background is any interest in Kansas football disappearing into the distance.
Three days later, Kansas basketball will play Duke in Chicago. Wiggins will go up against Duke freshman Jabari Parker. Coach Bill Self will attempt to match wits with Coach K in a battle of good versus evil the likes of which haven't been seen since the Joker battled Batman. The storylines are abundant.

It has become common for Kansas point guards to find themselves suspended early in the season.
Two years ago, Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson both sat out the preseason while a freshman, Naadir Tharp, ran the offense.
Nadini Thipple, who will not dress on Tharpe, who will not dress for the Jayhawks' season opener on Friday after breaking an NCAA rule that prohibited him from playing in a summer league game during the offseason. Kansas coach Bill Self will start another freshman, Frank Mason, over the experienced junior in the second exhibition of the year against Fort Hays State.
against it for Mason to play more." Self said of Mason on Monday, "I don't know if it's going to be a lot more than we would have, but we're going to try to get him as many reps as possible."
Mason's increase in minutes for Kansas' preseason finale likely would've happened either way. As the only other true point guard on the jayhawks' roster, it was expected that he would have a big role during the exhibitions.
It really wasn't all that long ago that Self mentioned how impressed he was with Mason, and that he might steal minutes from Tharpe as the season went on, which led to minor speculation that he could take over the starting role.
There are some vast differences between Mason and Tharpe. To begin with, it's hard to replace three years of experience. Then again, Mason brings his own flavor to the lineup.
"Frank is more athletic, freshman guard Wayne Selden said. "He's in a position where he's done a great job of backing up Naadir so I don't think it'll be that much of a
change."
Selden also went on to say that Naadir is a lot more calm out on the floor, while Frank likes to get up and run. The point guard change doesn't matter much to him as Selden said he feels comfortable playing either style of ball.
But that's not to discredit the advantage that comes with playing Bill Self basketball for three years. In the preseason opener Mason saw 18 minutes of playing time, shooting 1-3 from the field for five points, one assist and three turnovers. Tharpe went 3-3 with seven points, nine assists and no turnovers. And Tharpe has been much more vocally active on the floor than in the past.
Self said he hopes the team doesn't miss Tharpe. While the year is still young, Self will find out whether that's true.
Regardless of the reasons for the experiment, senior transfer Tarik Black knows one or two games don't kill team chemistry, but it can help with familiarity.
"The whole season we'll be figuring each other out," Black said. "I played with guys for three years straight back in Memphis and wed still misinterpret things with one another. We're just trying to feel comfortable on the floor."
Two years ago, Tharpe was just trying to get comfortable on the floor while Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson looked on from the bench. It might've just been a preseason game, but it's one that sticks out to Self.
"Naadir almost got a triple-double" Self said with a smile. "Nine points, nine turnovers and nine assists."

Weis looks to pay more attention to struggling offense
HANKS
Coach Charlie Weis has seen aspects weakening since the season started. After a 13-35 loss to Texas, Saturday, Weis looks to adjust the offense.
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Charlie Weis has been able to take a step back and better assess where his team is at on offense lately, while assistants Jeff Blasko and Ron Powlus have taken over a role in calling plays.
Weis has seen some aspects of the offense improve, while other areas continue to require attention.
"Since I've changed my role I've got a lot more involved with the wide receivers, which I will continue to do because I've seen some improvement," Weis said. "I think that this week I'm going to go down there and spend more time with the offensive linemen too."
"You try to establish some chemistry and get the same guys playing together all of the time." Weis said. "But we have not been very efficient up front and we continue to make changes."
For the first four weeks of the season, Weis made more personnel changes on the offensive line than he has at any other point in his coaching career, but has remained consistent with the unit the last four weeks.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
This week, Weis will once again make some changes to who plays on the offensive line.
He did not specify what those changes will be during a teleconference call with Big 12 media on Monday, though that will likely be answered on Tuesday in his weekly press conference.
Weis is especially concerned with the offensive line changes this week, as the Jayhawks will travel to face Oklahoma State on Saturday, a team with "a pretty salty defensive front," as Weis says.
There are several ways to approach the situation that Weis has mentioned. One is by building chemistry on the line. Another is by changing personnel.
"I think we're going to have our work cut out for us" Weis said.
Weis has attempted both of those so far this season.
"When it comes right down to it, we just have to get the guys playing better." Weis said.
Despite being discontent with

Weis has proven that he will attempt to make any changes necessary to improve the offensive production by Kansas, and he continues to do so with four games left on the schedule.

Interactive cooking class for children introduces healthy eating
IKATIE MCBRIDE
kmcbride@kansan.com
Of all the reasons to eat healthy 11-year-old Gentry Dennison's logic is hard to dispute.
Sage "If you just eat ice cream and cookies all the time, you won't get taller," Gentry said.
He was one of ten children, ranging from ages 6 to 13, and seven parents from the Lawrence area who attended the first cooking class organized by Hannah Temple and Leah Charles, 2013 graduates of the University and Americorps members.
Temple and Charles are offering a series of cooking classes to families interested in expanding their knowledge on healthy eating. The program is a five-class course that will take place until July 2014.
In the kitchen, before any of the food preparation began, Charles discussed the importance of taking precautions, both for safety and for cleanliness, while working in the kitchen.
During the first class on Tuesday night, Charles took half of the group to the kitchen, while Temple gave the other half a lesson on nutrition. Halfway through, the groups switched.
Next, she began to lead the class in making a healthy version of chili that used turkey meat and lots of veggies.
At first, the children hesitated when she asked for volunteers and quietly stood a safe distance away
"...if they're interacting with the food and cooking it themselves, they're going to eat it."

from the kitchen counters.
In between adding ingredients, Charles explained how to measure ingredients and use various cooking utensils. The children carefully opened cans, mixed ingredients and leveled off measurements of spices. They politely offered each other turns at adding ingredients.
But as they begin to add the ingredients to the pot one by one, their excitement grew and they began to shoot their arms in the air when a volunteer was needed, shouting eagerly, "Let me do it!"
As Charles held out a measurement tool for one student, Austin,
to measure chili powder into, she
said, "Don't be shy. You can make
a little bit of a mess."
He shook the container harder, and extra chili powder poured over the counter.
As the smell of warm, comforting chili filled the kitchen, the students smiled and they crowded around the pot on the stove, observing their creation.
"Or a lot of a mess," Charles laughed.
Temple's nutrition lesson included an explanation of "My Plate," which covers the main food groups. She explained examples of foods in each category and how the kids could reach each group of food throughout the day.
Temple and Charles explained that through the classes, they hope to make kids more familiar with the idea of eating a healthy, balanced diet, more comfortable cooking in the kitchen at home and more open to new foods. They added that the contact with cooking in a fun way may make the nutrition lessons resonate more.
"You can send home a pamphlet in their backpack that says, 'Eat this, it's healthy,' but if they're
interacting with the food and cooking it themselves, they're going to eat it," Temple said.
Temple and Charles also stressed that eating healthy is possible on a budget and one benefit of having the parents attend the class is for them to see that nutritious and filling meals can be done inexpensively.
They added that it was important to them to motivate families to connect and bond at home over cooking and eating.
"It's good to have the families come in and interact together," Charles said.
Gentry said he likes to cook grilled cheese sandwiches and cakes with his mom. Tuesday's lesson and the ones to follow will introduce him to many more meals he can create at home.
The course will take place at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Temple and Charles are currently seeking volunteers to assist with the classes. Those interested in learning more, signing up kids or helping volunteer should contact Hannah Temple at htemps@gmail.com.

New changes to camping improves lottery process
IBRIAN HILLIX
bhillix@kansan.com
In years past, basketball camping groups have waited hours in advance just to draw numbers earlier than other groups at lottery. Because the fieldhouse doors don't open until 30 minutes beforehand, students were forced to wait in line outside — often in freezing temperatures.
This year, basketball camping coordinators Joci Hansen and Mason Jones are introducing a method to alleviate that problem. They will debut an online check-in system for lottery that eliminates the need to arrive early and wait outside.
One representative from each camping group will check in using Google Forms. To check in, the group representative will go to the website and click "Lottery Registration." It will go live exactly one hour before lottery. Shortly after checking in, the representative will receive an email to confirm the number that group will draw. The group will receive the number upon arrival.
"The biggest goal of doing the online system is so that we don't have people waiting outside at four or five in the morning," Hansen said. "We're in Kansas — it's cold."
Hansen emphasized that groups that draw sooner will not have a greater chance of selecting a low number. Each number, once drawn, will be placed back into the bag so every group has an equal chance at
drawing a low number.
Students may check in from any computer. If more than one member from a camping group checks in, it will be flagged and won't count. Laptops will be present at lottery for use if needed.
Not every group that checks in immediately will be among the first groups to draw,but another new change this year will speed along the process.
Camping groups will sit at designated places in the Fieldhouse so they are able to draw and leave efficiently. If your group is one of the first to draw, you will be seated near the front to guarantee a quick exit.
A majority of lotteries will occur inside the Fieldhouse, but a select few may be in the parking garage. If this occurs, signs will indicate where groups should line up.
"We'll get you in and out as fast as we can," Hansen said. In addition to lottery check-in, the website will also indicate camping suspensions and post the camping group order after each lottery General guidelines are also listed on the website.

Students will have the opportunity to speak with a major force in the business world today, as Christian Fisher, former Twitter employee, is guest lecturing at the University.
Fisher is most known for being employee No. 19 at Twitter. Fisher has since moved on and worked with companies like Yelp and AdKnowledge - and even landed himself on the Forbes "30 under 30" list, a compilation of the most prominent young innovators and entrepreneurs in the business world today.
Fisher will speak to how he gained so much success in his career so early on while discussing
his most recent venture as a CEO. Fisher recently started Briefcase, a company that plans to revolutionize the job application process.
Emma Tolle, vice president of membership for the KU Entrepreneurship Club, praised Fishers experience and discussed how invaluable the opportunity to speak with him is.
This lecture will help to kick-off a month filled with exciting events for the KU Entrepreneurship Club. A "Start-up Crawl" and an entrepreneurial contest are on the

GM President to speak at the University today
Mark Reus, president of General Motors North America, is giving a lecture about product development in the engineering field today at the University.
This is an opportunity for University students to gain insight into how some of the largest product campaigns get their start and to speak to a high-level executive on a personal level.
"We are really proud to have Mark Reuss speak with students. The experience that he brings to this presentation will help students understand what they can achieve and how they should approach their future careers," said Jill Hummels, public relations director at the KU School of Engineering.
Though this lecture is being held in the school of engineering, it is open to all majors and attendance is encouraged regardless of field of study.
"Students from different disciplines will gain valuable insight from this;
it goes far beyond just engineering personnel," Hummels said.
neuss' presentation will mostly concern leadership and career advice. This makes the lecture applicable to students of every major, as the skills needed to develop products and succeed in the business world are universal.
"It's not just engineers that can benefit from learning about product development. There are any number of fields involved in the process of developing a product," Hummels said.
Hummels hopes that a wide variety of students will attend this lecture and benefit from the professional knowledge and experience that Reuss will share.
Reuss' presentation is today at 3:30 in Engineering Classroom 2, Eaton Hall.

Kobach, attorney dispute voter laws
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Secretary of State Kris Kobach and an attorney challenging a Kansas law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls are locked in a dispute over which court should hear the lawsuit.
Kobach said Tuesday that he sought to have the case moved from state court to federal court because Wichita attorney Jim Lawing has raised federal election law issues on behalf of two retired northeast Kansas residents. In a court filing, Kobach's lawyer noted that the lawsuit cites a U.S. Supreme Court decision in an Arizona case this year.
"Most voting cases do end up in federal court," said Kobach, a conservative Republican who pushed for passage of the photo ID law in 2011.
Kobach moved last week to have the case removed from Shawnee County District Court to federal court and it has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil, though no hearings have been set. Lawing, who ran for Congress as a Democrat in 1998, declined to comment Tuesday about the lawsuit being moved to federal court, but a few hours later he filed a request to have the case returned to state court.
In an accompanying memo, Lawing said he cited the U.S. Supreme Court decision only because it notes a longstanding legal principle in Kansas and other states that voters are presumed to be U.S. citizens. The memo said Kobach wasn't entitled to "misconstrue" the

contents of the lawsuit to "escape the forum closest to Kansas law." Kobach and other supporters of the voter ID law contend that it will block election fraud. Critics have denounced the requirement as an attempt to suppress voter turnout among poor, minority and elderly voters.
Hamner and Spry live in a retirement home and neither has a driver's license or a computer. According to the lawsuit, neither has access to the birth records necessary to secure a photo ID. Lawwfiled the litigation in June, then amended it in October, adding the reference to the U.S. Supreme Court decision.
State law requires voters to have a photo ID when voting in person and a driver's license number when voting by mail. Kansas also requires proof of citizenship for those registering to vote for the first time.
Without proof of identity and money to pay for such a document a person can apply for a free State Voter Identification Document. A person born in Kansas must apply to the Kansas Office of Vital Statistics for a certified copy of a birth certificate and obtain from the agency a "no certificate letter." Kobach's office then must be giver a copy of this letter.

A recent study discovered that Wichita could possibly be leaving up to $49 million per year on the table in coming years if it doesn't drastically improve its worn facilities in the downtown area. The study, conducted by Minneapolis-based Convention Sports & Leisure, showed that Wichita has the potential to attract national conventions that would provide a
significant positive economic impact, but is currently unable to do with its dated structures. There have been numerous proposed solutions to the issue, one of which includes the demolition of Wichita's iconic Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center. We took to the streets to find out what Wichita-area students think of the possible destruction of this historic landmark.
"In order to make money, you have to spend money. I believe that building a new convention center would make [Wichita] a key player in a competitive market and greatly benefit the future economy of Wichita."

With 94 percent of precincts reporting, Christie had 60 percent of the vote to Democratic state Sen. Barbara Buono's 39 percent, putting him en route to become the first Republican in a quarter-century to receive more than 50 percent of the New Jersey vote.
This, in a state that President Barack Obama carried a year ago by more than 17 points — his biggest margin in the nation.
that he has big plans for education reform and tax cuts, among other issues.
"I did not seek a second term to do small things," he said. "I sought a second term to finish the job. Now watch me do it."
After a campaign that centered more on his record and personality than his agenda for a second term, he told supporters
"Thank you, New Jersey, for making me the luckiest guy in the world," Christie said in a victory speech late Tuesday in the shore town of Asbury Park.
Buono told supporters in her hometown of Metuchen on the fringes of the New York area shortly after polls closed that she had called Christie to congratulate him. She noted they had their differences but added, "when it comes down to it, we're just two parents who want to see the best for our children's future."
He did well among groups that typically lean Democratic, carrying a majority of women and splitting Hispanics with Buono. Christie improved on his share of the vote in 2009 among blacks, liberals, Democrats and voters younger than 30 by more than 10 percentage points.
Christie performed strongly across the political spectrum after aggressively courting constitencies that often shun the GOP: minorities, women and even Democrats, who outnumber Republicans among registered voters by more than 3 to 2.
and those opposing the health care law, among others.
Interviews with voters as they left polling places found Christie re-elected with broad support among whites, independens, moderates, voters over 40
Christie, who is openly considering running for president, has said his success offers a template for broadening the GOP's appeal after the disastrous 2012 election cycle and the party's record-low approval ratings following the recent government shutdown.
Voters in New Jersey as a whole were not wildly enthusiastic about Christie as president. Fifty-one percent said he would make a good president. When asked whether they preferred Christie or Hillary Rodham Clinton as president if they both ran in 2016, they supported the Democrat 48 percent to 44 percent.

Educate yourself on strict voter registration laws
When I registered to vote at 10 p.m. on the night of my 18th birthday, Burmese democracy advocate Aung San Suu Kyi had just been released from her seven-year-long house arrest. I'd heard the news on the radio, and I listened to one of her speeches while I logged on to voteks.org. Typing in my name, date of birth, address and driver's license number, I finished the registration process before my YouTube video of one of Suu Kyi's speeches ended.
If a new voter tried to register today, that process would be slightly different — although the prospective applicant might not even recognize that the change existed. New voter registration laws require that would-be voters provide proof of citizenship before their registration is made official. This proof can take the form of a birth certificate, passport, naturalization documents or other official papers. The process must be completed before Election Day.
The problem is that a large number of voters may not realize that the changes have taken place. Registering at a voter registration
drive, like the one sponsored by the Student Legislative Advisory Board and Dole Institute of Politics at the University during Civic Engagement Week, is only the first step in the registration process. Individuals must then contact their election office to prove their citizenship. Since the rules went into effect in January, over 18,100 Kansans have attempted to register to vote, but have failed to complete the proof-of-citizenship step. That accounts for a full one-third of individuals who have attempted to register during that time period. These hopeful voters may be waiting until later, or they may not even be aware the requirement exists.
The future of those registrations remains uncertain. Currently, Kansas and Arizona are attempting to use legal mechanisms to force the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to add special instructions about proof of citizenship regulations to the federal registration form. The two states claim that absent such a change, they would need to operate two separate registration lists, as individuals who used the

federal form and did not prove their citizenship would be allowed to vote in only national elections. Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union has warned the two states that it plans to pursue legal action, after a Supreme Court case in June ruled against Arizona's rejection of federally registered voters who had not proven their citizenship.
It's possible that non-citizen voting in Kansas is actually the largest problem in the state, one that justifies spending money on legal battles and registration paperwork at a time when the state is cutting funds for education, health care and social services. It's possible that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach could produce evidence that voter fraud is a
significant problem in the state, and chooses not to so that the rest of us can sleep more easily at night. It's possible that he truly believes the answer he gave when Rep. Jim Ward of Wichita asked Kobach how to feasibly collect the required documents during a voter registration drive ("carry a copy machine with you") is the best model for preserving the Kansan democratic tradition.
It's possible, but I don't think it's particularly likely.
The best way to avoid problems that could hamper your voting is to make sure that you are registered far in advance of an election. Kansans can visit gotovoterid.com to check their registration status and learn how and where they can provide the necessary documents. After they have proven their citizenship once, they do not have to do so if they re-register in the future to update residence or party affiliation (remember, voters must re-register each time they change address).
When Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest in 1995, she reminded her followers of the importance of tolerating differing
political viewpoints, saying "We will surely get to our destination if we join hands." Young Kansans now have the opportunity to join hands to help their friends and family members exercise their constitutional right to participate in elections. Mentioning the citizenship requirements to friends registering for the first time can spread knowledge that the requirement exists in the first place. Taking ten minutes together to stop by the Douglas County Courthouse on Massachusetts Street is easy; scanning and emailing your documents to the information posted on govt voterid. com is too. Hopefully, Kansans can work together to ensure that every voter has the opportunity to exercise their right to vote on Election Day, regardless of how inconvenient that new extra step might be.

YouTube Music Awards detract from live concert experience
What does "The Harlem Shake," "Gangnam Style" and "The Fox (What Does The Fox Say)" have in common? My immediate response would be that they are all crimes against humanity. However, other than being agonizingly annoying, these songs among others have been deemed as YouTube sensations.
By Lyndsey Havens
lhavens@kansan.com
I guarantee that you have seen or heard at least one, if not all, of these videos. While I admittedly watched countless "Harlem Shake" videos on my own time, I accidentally saw a clip of "Gangnam Style" on the news last year and was unknowingly shown the ear-numbing "The Fox (What Does The Fox Say)" by a friend. Regardless of whether I'd seen the viral videos or not, I certainly had heard of them all within a week of their upload.
To praise these videos with further acclaim, the very first YouTube Music Awards "ceremony" — however unceremonious it may have been — took place this past Sunday. Having been inundated with articles from every major publication that covered the event in the past 24 hours, I couldn't help but wonder, when did YouTube become such a prominent force in the music industry?
YouTube was founded in 2005, and though memory often fails me, I am fairly certain that the first time I watched a video on the platform wasn't until 2008. I remember this because the video
I watched was of a young Justin Bieber singing Chris Brown's "With You" in a basement. At the time, the video had well under one thousand views. I decided to recently revisit the video and as of today, it has well over 45 million views. Personally, I think that it is safe to say Justin Bieber was one of, if not the first, official YouTube music phenomena.
I will not refute the fact that bringing awareness to (what was once) great talent is a good thing. My issue with YouTube's involvement in the music industry is that it inadvertently contradicts movements such as Record Store Day and the Affordable Ticket Act, which aim to get music fans in front of a crate of vinyl or a stage, as opposed to a computer screen.
Over one billion users visit YouTube each month, and according to YouTube's statistics page, "over six billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube — that's almost an hour for every person on Earth."
video platform impacts the music industry both positively and negatively. YouTube has become a reliable and authentic outlet to market emerging musical talent, yet along the way YouTube has also provided an inauthentic outlet for music fans to support musicians with views rather than purchases.
Thinking about the hours that I alone have clocked into You-Tube's statistics, I realize that the
It's great, of course, that music festivals and events such as the YouTube Music Awards offer live streaming because they invite anyone and everyone into the experience. While this provides an affordable, comfortable and reasonable alternative for many, it can never amount to a sufficient substitute. The YouTube Music awards attempted to maintain a level of live entertainment by streaming an unrehearsed, organic awards show, and if I were there, I'm sure I would have enjoyed and fed into the spontaneity of it all. But since I was watching it all play out in my bed with the heat from my laptop radiating onto my legs, I soon lost interest and simply exited out.
It is far more rewarding for an artist to look into a crowd of fans singing along with the lyrics, than it is to stare into a screen and count the number of fans that view a video. No story, photo or live stream can compare to the value of physical presence.

GENDER
Break out of traditional roles in relationships
After asking me whether or not I was seeing anyone, a friend's mother once comforted me by saying, "Guys in college aren't looking for anything serious. They just want to run around and have fun
they aren't ready to commit to girls they actually want to end up with. You're the girl they'll want to take home to their moms they'll come around in a few years and then you'll have men lining up to take you out."
I'm not exactly sure what prompted this revelation from my friend's mother, nor am I clear on exactly why I should find this comforting, but it's a comment that I have thought a lot about since then.
There are a lot of things I see wrong with this philosophy, but beyond the presumption — again
— that being in a relationship is something to strive for, the thing that bothers me most about this statement is the gender stereotyping. I recently re-watched Disney's "The Little Mermaid" for my thesis project (because deep down, I'm still five years old) and the most striking thing about the film was Ursula's drag show during "Poor Unfortunate Souls." In it, she reveals pretty blatantly that gender is very much a performance. Thinking back to this mother's bit of "consolation" for me, I realized that it isn't all guys have this "no-responsibilities, party-while we're-young" attitude, but rather that it's what we expect from guys at this age.
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
In fact, thinking about a lot of expectations of both genders, I realized that a lot of the assumptions and attitudes we take on because of our genders are performances. Women tend do more stereotypical "girly" things like wearing make-up, dressing nicely and looking for serious relationships because that's what we associate with being female. Whereas men tend to be more interested in sports, working out and maintaining casual
By Tasha Cerny
tcerny@kansan.com
relationships because that's what society tells us men should be like.
FFA OF THE DAY
To that, I say: Be who you want to be. If you identify as a woman, but you feel like more of the "man" in your relationships, more power to you! If you're a guy, but you are sensitive to others' emotions or you cry easily, that doesn't make you less of a man. Anyone who doesn't recognize their choices about their gender as a performance are simply poor, unfortunate souls.
FFA OF THE DAY
Now obviously these generalizations are not necessarily accurate in the depiction of each man and woman — I myself love basketball just as much as every other Kansas diehard, and I know lots of guys who are in serious, committed relationships — but the point is that our genders and the way we 'perform' them is very much an aspect of nurture, not nature. It is perfectly acceptable to be a "girlly-girl" or a "man's man," but it's also important to recognize these depictions as choices and performances, and not inherent divisions between the sexes.
Thus, I reiterate the inherent problem with my friend's mother's quote. Generalizing that all men in college don't want to date mom-worthy girls assumes 1) that there are certain aspects of performing the female gender that make some women more dateable/marriage-worthy than others; 2) these aspects are somehow tied into the idea of being a 'good girl', and 3) men in college are wild and immature, and only age and time will tame them.

LaRissa McKean (center), junior from Omaha, Neb., dances at Point B Dance in Lawrence for 15 hours or more each week.
Students balance time between school, dance
CASSIDY RITTER
critter@kansan.com
For many students, the time commitment for school alone is a lot to manage and having a job adds to the stress. But imagine finding time for 15 hours of dance practice a week, in addition to 16 hours of classes. This is LaRissa McKean's weekly challenge.
McKean, a junior from Omaha, Neb., is a level one dancer for Point B Dance in Lawrence and has been with the company for five shows. Being a level one dancer means a larger time commitment. McKean is in the dance studio once or twice a day, Monday through Thursday, along with weekend rehearsals every so often.
With an upcoming dance recital, McKean's time is spread even thinner. Her days start around 5:30 or 6 a.m. and end around 1 or 2 a.m. In between her classes at the University, she is at home studying or at the dance studio rehearsing.
In order to keep it all straight, McKean relies on her planner, which is packed with times for each event. When all else fails,
she calls her mom to walk her through it.
Aside from working out to de-stress, McKean relies on her company members at Point B Dance.
It's always figuring out where my priorities are," McKean said. "And my priorities change a lot because everything I do is important to me."
"The support system I got from them was something I hadn't experienced," McKean said, "and having it in college really helps escape from stress. And I like to be super involved, I always have been — so when I didn't have dance it was awful, but having so much dance calms me down." Emily Jones, junior from Lindsborg, is a first-year dance member at Point B Dance and also deals with the time balance of school and dance.
"It's a nice way to relieve stress," Jones said. "You know, you can kind of show what you are feeling when you are dancing. It's something different than what I normally do and it's kind of an escape."
Both Jones and McKean are
busier than ever with their up-
coming recital on Nov. 9 at 7:30
p.m. The recital will be held at the
Lawrence Arts Center at 940 New
Hampshire St. Tickets are on sale
now for $10.
Cathy Patterson, owner and director of Point B Dance in association with AIM Dance Company, said members have been rehearsing for this performance since August and have spent 12-15 hours a week in the studio. Patterson said the theme for the Nov.9 recital is phobias and fears.
"Emotions can be portrayed through dance by the dynamics of movement," Patterson said. "Movement has qualities such as fast/slow, strong/light, direct/ indirect, and these qualities are manipulated in the choreographic process to represent an emotion. In our show, fear is explored through dynamic movement qualities — the creative use of props representing the source of the phobia, and the dancer's personal experiences and expressions."

Traylor scored 11 points on a perfect 4-for-4 from the floor. He led the team with four offensive rebounds, two of which he put back in for layups. Unlike his front court counterparts, he did not commit a turnover. He gave the team a much needed spark in the first half with seven points and five rebounds.

Fans will wiggish breakthrough game will have to wait. Wiggins finished with 10 points Tuesday on a team-high of ten field goal attempts. After struggling for a majority of the half, Wiggins picked it up late and scored six points in a three-minute span.
"He didn't have any success early," Self said. "He did better when he got back in."
Wiggins scored his first points of the evening on a dunk with just more than three minutes remaining in the first half. He would add a jumper in the lane and a pair of free throws late in the half to finish with six points.
His daily showboat moment came with about eight minutes left in the second half. Mason threw up a pass to the basket when Wiggins appeared to be one step in front of the 3-point line near the baseline.
Wiggins' defensive highlight came when he knocked a Fort Hays State field goal attempt off the backboard that led immediately to a fast break capped off by a Perry Ellis dunk.
Being taller than all but two players on the Tiger roster, Fort Hays State set waves of defenders on the freshman. That proved to be successful for the most part, as Wiggins only went to the free throw line twice.

this can be attributed to his unselfish play. In the second half, Wiggins had what appeared to be an open lane to the basket, but ended up passing to an open player at the 3-point line. Ellis agreed that selflessness is a trait of this year's squad.
"With all these athletic guys we got on this team, we also look to pass and just not look to shoot first," Ellis said.
While many expect Wiggins to dominate on offense this season, he has shown some versatility at both ends of the court in his limited action.
In the two exhibition games, Wiggins exhibited his all-around skill. Wiggins averaged 13 points, 4.5 rebounds, two blocks and a steal in the first two games.
While it isn't his strength, Wiggins has struggled with his jump shot in the first two games. He has yet to connect from long-range this season, going a combined 0-5. Most of his points have come near the rim, where he scores more effortlessly.
Look for Wiggins to play more than 30 minutes in the team's first regular season game on Friday against Louisiana Monroe. It should be easier for him to get into a flow with more playing time.

Kansas takes on West Virginia in Big 12 Championship
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
The Kansas soccer team (7-10-2, 2-5-1) will be close to home for the Big 12 Championship in Kansas City, Mo., tonight. As the No. 8 seed in the tournament, the Jayhawks will face top-seeded West Virginia (13-3-2, 7-1) at Swope Soccer Village.
West Virginia is the regular season champion of the league and had a perfect conference record until its loss to Texas Tech on Oct. 27.
Kansas earned the last spot in the tournament with its 2-1 victory against Oklahoma Friday. After the match, coach Mark Francis said the team would move momentum on its side following the hard-fought victory and the threat of exclusion from the tournament.
"I told the girls, we've played everybody in the conference and we've seen what everybody has, and I think every game we've played in the conference, we've been in the game," Francis said. "We've had opportunities to win the game."
He said that in this tournament, his team can definitely advance further.
"The tournament is one-and-do ne and we have every opportunity to go in there and do well," Francis said.
Junior midfielder Jamie Fletcher led the team to victory against Oklahoma with her two welltimed goals. She scored the first goal of the game and another goal that put the match away for good in the last three minutes.
Fletcher earned conference honors for her performance. On Tuesday, she was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. Before the match against Oklahoma, Fletcher had tallied the most shot attempts on the team, but had only scored one goal. On Friday, Fletcher said she was optimistic
about the tournament.
"I think we actually have a really good chance to win the Big 12 tournament, so all we had to do was get there and see what happens." Fletcher said.
In the regular season matchup against West Virginia, the Mountaineers defeated Kansas 2-0 in the midst of one of the Jayhawks' extended scoring droughts. West Virginia scored early, with both goals coming in the first 15 minutes of the match. The Jayhawks kept fighting, but could not recover.
"The tournament is one-and-done and we have every opportunity to go in there and do well."
MARK FRANCIS Coach
In their first two seasons in the conference, the West Virginia Mountaineers have made a splash in the Big 12. They also won the regular season title and were seeded first in the tournament last year.
15
They did not fare well in post-season play last year. They faced eighth-seeded TCU last year and were blanked by the Horned Frogs 0-2. TCU went on to compete in the title game where it fell to Baylor. Kansas also lost its first-round game last year, falling 0-2 to Texas Tech.
If the Jayhawks get past the Mountainers, they will advance to the semifinals, which will be against the winner of today's Baylor and Iowa State match. The semifinals will take place on Friday and the title game will be played on Sunday.

Olympic torch will launch into space with Russian rocket
osmos
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan — For the first time in history, the Olympic torch will be taken on a spacewalk.
The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics torch will be sent to the International Space Station on board a Russian spacecraft this week and astronauts will then carry it outside the station. Here's a look at the Sochi torch.
Russia's booster rocket, Soyuz-FG, will carry new crew to the International Space Station. For the first time, it will carry an Olympic torch to space as part of the ongoing Olympic torch relay. The rocket is scheduled to blast off on Thursday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE SPACE CHARIOT
The torch will travel into Earth's orbit with the next space station crew, who blast off early Thursday from the Russian-operated Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Russia's Mikhail Tyurin, NASA's Rick Mastracchio and Koichi Wakata of Japan are heading to the space station on a Russian Soyuz rocket that has been emblazoned with the emblem of the Sochi Winter Games.
FLAMES IN SPACE
For safety reasons, the torch will not burn when it's onboard the space outpost. Lighting it would
consume precious oxygen and pose a threat to the crew. The crew will carry the unlit torch around the station's numerous modules before taking it out on a spacewalk.
A TORCH FIRST
The Olympic torch has flown into space before — in 1996 aboard the U.S. space shuttle Atlantis for the Atlanta Summer Olympics — but it has never yet been taken outside a spacecraft.
HANGING IN THE COSMOS
The torch will stay in space for five days until the returning crew takes it back to Earth next Monday, when Russian Fyodor Yurchikhin, NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg and Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency plan to land in Kazakhstan.
HANGING IN THE CUSINOS Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergei Ryazanskiy, who are part of the space station's current crew, will take the torch into open space Saturday when they venture outside the station. Kotov says they are planning to take video and photos of the torch, hopefully when the space station flies over Russia and the southern resort of Sochi can be seen in the background.
JUST PART OF THE JOURNEY
The four-month Sochi torch relay, which started in Moscow on Oct. 7, is the longest in the history of the Olympics. For most of the 65,000-kilometer (39,000-mile) route, the flame will travel by plane, train, car and even reindeer sleigh, but 14,000 torch bearers are taking part in the relay that stops
at more than 130 cities and towns. Last month, the Olympic flame traveled to the North Pole onboard a Russian nuclear-powered ice-breaker. Later this month it will sink to the bottom of the world's deepest lake, Lake Baikal. In February, the torch will be taken to the peak of Mount Elbrus, at 5,642 meters (18,510 feet) — the highest
mountain in Russia and Europe.
AND THE CLIMAX
The torch will be used to light the Olympic flame at Sochi's stadium on Feb. 7, marking the start of the 2014 Winter Games that run until Feb. 23.

TORONTO — LeBron James scored a season-high 35 points, Dwyane Wade had 20 and the Miami Heat beat the Toronto Raptors 104-95 on Tuesday for their first road victory in three tries this season.
Ray Allen scored 14 points for Miami, which lost at Philadelphia on Oct. 30 and was beaten 101-100 at Brooklyn on Nov. 1.
James also had a season-high eight rebounds and eight assists as Miami topped 100 points for the fifth straight game, extending their team-record run to begin the season.
With a putback dunk at 2:31 of the first quarter, James became the fifth player in NBA history to score 10 points or more in 500 consecutive games.
A four-time MVP, James joined Kareem Abdul-jabbar (with streaks of 787 and 508 games), Michael Jordan (866), Karl Malone (575) and Moses Malone (526) as the only players to accomplish the game.
feat.
It was the 162nd time during the streak that James has reached 10 points in the opening quarter.
James has reached double figures in every game since being held to eight points at Milwaukee on Jan. 5, 2007. He scored 19 at New Jersey the following night.
James has more regular-season games of scoring at least 50 points (nine) than nights where he's scored less than 10 (eight). Factor playoff games into the mix, and he's reached double figures 898 times in 907 career games.

With Bosh out, Toronto took advantage of Miami's small lineup early. Valanciusas had 10 points midway through the first as the Raptors opened a 17-8 lead.
DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors with 21 points while Jonas Valancuanas had 18. Rudy Gay had 13 points and 10 rebounds for his second straight double-double.
After a Heat timeout, James scored four straight baskets as Miami cut the gap to 25-23 after one quarter.
Toronto led 45-34 after Valanciunas made a hook shot at 4:56 of the second, but James scored seven points as the Heat closed the half on a 18-5 run to take a 52-50 lead. Mario Chalmers hit a 3 with less than a second left, giving Miami the lead for the first time.

Paul George scored 31 points, and the Indiana Pacers remained the NBA's only unbeaten team with a 99-91 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night.

The Pacers matched their best start in franchise history. They are 4-0 for the first time since the 2004-05 season.
Indiana blew a 15-point lead in the first half but took control again with a strong third quarter.
C. J. Watson had 15 points and David West finished with 12 for the Pacers.
Brandon Jennings scored 17 points for the Pistons, who were done in by their 5-for-25 shooting from 3-point range.
Detroit led 44-40 early in the third quarter before the Pacers went on a 15-2 run capped by an alley-oop to George. He scored 14 points in the quarter, and Indiana led 74-63 entering the fourth.
Detroit cut the deficit to four early in the final period, but Indiana responded with six straight points to lead 82-72. The Pacers stretched the lead to 19 at 94-75 before the Pistons rallied in the final minutes to make the final score more respectable.

It was 96-91 after Detroit's Kyle Singler made two free throws with 32.6 seconds left, but the Pacers broke Detroit's pressure and the Pistons didn't foul. West made a layup with 16.6 seconds left.
The Pacers have won six straight over the Pistons, and the previous three wins had been lopsided, by 19, 32 and 18 points.
The Pacers were without George Hill (sore left hip) for a second straight game, and Danny Granger is still out with a strained left calf, but they've

George made his first five shots and finished the first quarter with 12 points, helping the Pacers to a 29-14 lead. Then they were outscored 27-9 in the second.
Jennings made his first start for the Pistons in his second game

Josh Smith, another new acquisition this season for Detroit, scored 16 points but shot 5 of 16. He went 1 of 6 from beyond the arc. Indiana will try to extend its unbeaten run Wednesday night against Chicago.

Coming off a road win against TCU on Saturday, the No. 24 Jayhawks (18-5, 8-2) will host the West Virginia Mountaineers (17-8, 3-6) tonight at the Horejsi Athletic Center.
During the TCU game, freshman middle blocker Tayler Soucie recorded 16 kills on 21 swings with no errors and a 571 hitting percentage, which was her best hitting percentage all season
inning percentage. Soucie was named the Big 12 Conference Player of the Week for her performance against Baylor and TCU. She had 22 kills on 37 swings with just one error and four blocks in seven games last week. Soucie earned Big 12 Conference player of the week honors three times this season.
Soucie is only a freshman and she's been given a lot of opportunities to help the Jayhawks this season, but it's normal for new freshmen to contribute quickly. The difference this year is that Soucie is filling Kansas the shoes of standout Taylor Tolefree from last season.
times this season.
"Souci is a little ahead of the curve," coach Ray Beachard said at media day on Monday. "She wants the ball in a big moment ... We knew that shed compete hard and help us, but hitting .350 and blocking almost 1.25 are solid numbers for anyone, let alone a freshman."
"The first day of practice, Coach has expected a lot from me and expected me to step up to play the position Tayler Tolefree played last year," Soucie said. "Her shoes are big shoes to fill in and I was overwhelmed at first, but I'm getting there and getting better."
Soucie and Tolefree coincidental ly spell their first name the same
and play the same position. Their dominance in the middle is also very similar.
"Coaches say 'Taylor taking over for Tayler,' Soucie said.
Soucie, who is the second leading blocker for the Jayhawks behind senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, attributes her success this season to Jarmoc's leadership and guidance from the team seniors.
"It has been good to have Caroline to learn from and have the support from the rest of the team," Soucie said.
The road hasn't always been smooth for the freshman middle blocker, but she's learned a lot so far.
"I have to shake off mistakes and keep going," Soucie said. "You're going to have ups and you're goin'
to have downs, but you have to keep playing. Keep working hard and it will pay off.
Soucie, who had three consecutive double-digit kill games against Iowa State, Baylor and TCU, was the seventh Jayhawk to receive Big 12 Player of the Week this season. Earlier this season, Kansas almost faced a 2-0 deficit before the Jayhawks won three straight sets to
win 3-1 in Morgantown, W. Va. Since joining the Big 12 Conference, the West Virginia Mountaineers, who are currently No. 6 in the Big 12 Conference, are 5-0 against the Jayhawks. Mountainer junior Eynn McCoy leads the Big 12 Conference with 1.5 blocks per set during Big 12 matches. The Mountainers are fifth in blocks per set and third in kills allowed
per set among Big 12 Conference teams.
Soucie and the Jayhawks will try to win their third straight conference game against West Virginia tonight at 6:30 p.m.

NEW STRATEGIES
FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
The Jayhawks hope for their first win against Oklahoma State since 2007.

mcorte@kansan.com
Pierson's Potential
Coach Charlie Weis is implementing new strategies for the last four games of the season to help the Jayhawks end this year on a higher note.
If you don't practice, you don't play. This seems to be an age-old rule followed by many coaches and it's no different with Charlie Weis. Last week against Texas, Tony Pierson warmed up and stretched in uniform hoping to play after not participating in practice all week. It seems he never got Weis' memo. Pierson instead rode the bench as the Jayhawks fell 35-13. One has to question whether Tony could have helped a Kansas offense struggling to produce points, but coming off a concussion, it was smart for Weis to protect the short- and long-term health of his player rather than risk it for a win.
Splitting Field Goals
This week Pierson practiced without a red jersey, meaning he's cleared from being monitored. It seems he'll play this Saturday. The timing couldn't be better for Kansas as they prepare to face Oklahoma State — a team scoring just over 40 points per game, good for No.14 in the country. Pierson
still leads the team in receptions with 21 after missing most of the Baylor game and all of the Texas game, so it's no shock that Heaps and the Jayhawk offense desperately needed No. 3 back.
James Sims and Darrian Miller will handle most of the carries in the back field, but if neither prove to be effective Pierson is more than capable of handling the rock. He averaged 6.5 yards per carry last season on 117 carries and has improved this year, averaging 6.7 yards per carry, albeit on only 12 carries.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Simply put, Tony Pierson is the most diverse, dynamic player on this offense. Every coach loves an athlete with big play potential and Pierson has proved he can be that man in this offense. He hauled in the longest touchdown of the year for Kansas: a 77-yarder against Rice, which is 47 yards longer than any other Kansas touchdown on offense. The Jayhawks hope to use that big play potential against Oklahoma State this weekend in an attempt to beat the Cowboys for the first time since 2007.
Splitting Field Goals Charlie Weis practiced two different field goal units last Wednesday for the first time in his 34-year coaching career, with Matthew Wyman taking first team reps. This week he will continue that trend by practicing two separate teams on field goals. However, heading into Stillwater, Okla., this Saturday, Ron Doherty will be the starting place kicker for Kansas.
The switch happened after the first drive against Texas last Saturday when Wyman missed a 31-yard field goal with the ball hooking left from contact. Putting Doherty in proved to be the right decision, as the senior went 2-2 on field goals and knocked through his only extra point.
Boone Pickens Stadium proved to be a tough environment to play in, and kicking will be no easy task against the Cowboys with 60,000 screaming fans. Every point is crucial in a football game and whether it's Doherty or Wyman out there, they'll have to be on target if the Jayhawks want to come away with a victory.
Come gametime, Doherty will handle the short yardage field goals, but Wyman may be able to redeem himself and help Kansas by making the long ones. Weis stated in his press conference on Tuesday that if there was a field goal from around 55 yards in the Texas game, Wyman would have been sent out to kick it.
Of course, the Jayhawks have a solid rushing attack of their own, ranking No. 96 in the country, which places them in the top third
**Annepaicing the Cowboys**
Running the ball against Oklahoma State may prove to be tough for Kansas, with the Cowboys holding NCAA teams this season to 122.9 yards per game, good for No. 18 in the country. Weis was quick to point out in his press conference that Oklahoma State excels in defense because their best players are all right in the middle. This should be no surprise as the Cowboys had two players from their starting interior lineman, safety and middle linebacker positions selected to a Preseason All-Big 12 team.
The Jayhawks' run defense will also be tested on Saturday, as Oklahoma State boasts the 55th best rushing boost in the country, churning out 180 yards per game. Although Big 12 teams are known to spread out the ball and
of D-1 teams. Pierson's return should also help Kansas run the ball more effectively, as his speed in the passing game will keep most of the secondary from creeping up to stop the run.
throw, it's the run game that opens the opportunity to make plays downfield.
If Kansas is able to outrush Oklahoma State and give Heaps chances to throw, it could mean a win for the Jayhawks. If not, and Oklahoma State bullies Kansas to the ground, look for the Cowboys to control the ball and stay on cruise control all game.

Two football games you need to watch tomorrow
If you're going to watch football one day this week, that day should be Thursday. I know what you're thinking." Dude,
I know what you're thinking. Dude, no way. Free cover at The Hawk." Or maybe it's, "Oh, what a cop-out because the Chiefs have a bye week."
If you believe the former, then best of luck to you. Seriously. And if your opinion is the latter, then sure, it's the first time this NFL season that The Kingdom won't take home a win for the weekend.
But whether you're being lame and doing homework or sweating it out in a bar basement, college football is calling your name in a very BIG way on Thursday.
The first top-10 matchup features a tenthranked Oklahoma traveling to Waco, Texas, to take on a sixth-ranked, undefeated Baylor team that has dominated on both sides of the football. The Bears currently rank sixth in points allowed, and nobody even talks about their defense because the offense is so good. The layhawks held Baylor to its second lowest scoring output

The Sooners' only loss came at the hands of the Texas Longhorns, who have looked impressive during their current five-game winning streak. Oklahoma boasts a top-15 defense, and the matchup with Baylor should be excellent to watch. The winner will have only Texas and Oklahoma State to fend off for the Big 12 championship and a

Oregon appeared set for a head-on collision with Kansas State but both teams lost on the same

Fate of Houston Astrodome decided in vote
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — When voters in Houston head to the polls Tuesday, they could be deciding whether the shuttered Astrodome is saved or razed.
A referendum on Tuesday's ballot would authorize up to $217 million in bonds to transform the so-called "Eighth Wonder of the World" into a giant convention and event center and exhibition space. Houston-area leaders have said the stadium that was once home to professional baseball and football teams would likely be torn down if the ballot measure fails to pass.
Houston resident Wilton Schexnayder, 62, who has fond
memories of seeing Astros and Oilers games as well as the rodeo inside the world's first multipurpose domed stadium, said he plans on voting in favor of the referendum.
"I think they should preserve it," he said. "It's just a part of the history of Houston."
A coalition of local and national preservation groups as well as a political action committee have banded together to get the referendum passed with the slogan, "Save the Astrodome." While there hasn't been an organized effort against the referendum, some opponents have said the money to refurbish the Astrodome could be better spent on other projects.
The referendum calls for creating 350,000 square feet of exhibition space by removing all the interior seats and raising the floor to street level. Other changes included creating 400,000 square feet of plaza and green space on the outside of the structure as part of the project, dubbed "The New Dome Experience."
"I love the Astrodome. It's the memories of my childhood. But pouring good money after bad is a bad financial decision," said Michael Berry, a former Houston councilman.
Opened in 1965, the Astrodome was home to Major League Baseball's Astros and the National Football League's Houston Oilers.
It was spacious enough to fit its 18-story building under its 208-foot-high roof.
But it hasn't been home to a sports team since 1999 and has been closed to all events since 2009. While still structurally sound, the iconic stadium has fallen into disrepair. On Saturday, thousands of people bought stadium seats, pieces of Astro Turf and other items at a "yard sale" and auction of Astrodome memorabilia.
The stadium's most prominent use in recent years was as a shelter for Louisiana residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

COMMENTARY
Jayhawk players continue to heat up for basketball
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
It took more than 32 minutes into Tuesday's exhibition game against Fort Hays State for Kansas to finally churn out a complete play on both sides of the court.
Andrew Wiggins skied to block a Tiger shot, rebounded it himself and slung the rock up court to fellow freshman Wayne Selden. As the lone Tiger defender approached, Selden smoothly dished it off to a streaking Perry Ellis in the lane.
Two-handed slam. Mission complete.
Ellis' dunk put the Jayhawks up 32 points en route to a 92-75 victory in the team's final tune up before Friday's season opener. Yes, it is an exhibition game. And yes, none of this really matters.
But the play was an awesome moment in the game for fans who are desperately awaiting a team to play elite. There is immense talent that is ready to be groomed by the nation's best coach. In other words, the ingredients are mixed, but are not yet in the oven.
in the heat will come early, of course. Kansas boasts arguably the nation's toughest nonconference schedule with slates against Duke, Florida, New Mexico, San Diego State and Georgetown. What fans will see in December won't be close to the product in March. Or - I'll say it - April.
When Kansas comes hot out of the oven later this season, it will be a fine-tuned, uber-athletic, slashing, ferociously guarding machine. It'll be exactly that because Bill Self will have it no other way. He is a relentless perfectionist that demands the same from his team.
and putting points on the board.
And for this team to play up to the standards the impossible hype that has been created, the responsibility will largely fall on the shoulders of the three involved in Tuesday's most complete play.
But Self isn't the one defending and nutting points on the board.
Ellis, of course, is the closest representation of Self's desired polished product. He's a pure scorer that can put the ball in the basket in so many ways. More importantly, he's a precedent for what Wiggins and Selden are very capable of doing when March rolls around. Last season, Ellis showed both growing pains and blips of greatness throughout the year
But March arrived and Ellis was great when he came out the kitchen. The unknowns are Selden and Wiggins - questions that need to turn into statements.
Wiggins will need to be un-guarded. And there's no reason to say he isn't already there. His spin move is dizzying and it hardly takes a dribble to get from the 3-point line to the rim. The perimeter shooting is the only real knock on his game.
Points will be a must from Selden. He led the team in scoring Tuesday with 13 in just 20 minutes of action. The new hand-check rules will play in favor of his slashing style and he'll largely contribute from the free throw line.
If Kansas is cutting down any sort of nets this year, Wiggins, Selden and Ellis will be the first up the ladder.

It's not that Kansas doesn't want Andrew Wiggins on the floor; the Jayhawks were just able to show how well they can play without him.

Until he came barreling down the baseline for a ferocious slam near the end of the half. Wiggins hadn't even factored into the game. By then the score was 52-30. Even with the Tigers heaving threes without mercy, the Jayhawks' offense would be tough to slow down, let alone catch up to.
Wiggins' play was the least concerning part of the early goings.
In his first start for Kansas, point guard Frank Mason had a bit of trouble leading the Jayhawks. Mason wasn't screwing up, but initially he may have stalled the offense as Fort Hays took a small lead. This was made even more apparent when Naadir Tharpe checked in for him at the first media timeout and rattled off four assists in a matter of minutes.
"Frank was probably about as good of a performer as we had out there."
Still, this was the experience that Mason needed in preparation for Friday's season opener against Louisiana-Monroe as Tharpe serves his single game suspension. And after the first
few minutes had passed, Mason showed he was more than capable of handling the job. The freshman went on to notch four points and six assists with three steals and just one turnover.
Whether it is a lack of confidence, inexperience or a combination of the two, Mason pushed through and gave Jay-hawk fans a reason to (almost) relax when he plays a majority of the minutes on Friday.

With the Jayhawks in transition late in the first half, Mason charged up the court with one defender back and made a smooth bounce pass over to Black in the lane for a simple finish.
It wasn't the only time Mason would push the tempo and get his teammates moving up the court with speed and style. In the second half Mason threw a lob pass halfway up to the rafters. Andrew Wiggins effortlessly lifted off the ground and slammed it down with his head parallel, if not above, the rim.
"I knew he was athletic enough to go and get," Mason said. "If it was a little off I had confidence in him."
Turns out keeping Wiggins off the floor doesn't stop him from scoring either.

Kansas will be remembered for final games
FOOTBALL
Wets likes to break his team's season schedule up into three parts and Saturday's game against Oklahoma State signals the beginning of the last third of Kansas' schedule. He even made a joke about it.
This is what Charlie Weis calls the final third.
CONNOR OBERKROM
coberkrom@kansan.com
This was all in tongue in-cheek obviously, but there's no shaking off what this last third of the schedule means for a program that sits in the cellar of the conference. Trying to climb out from the bottom can be tough, but for a program with many growing pains this season, the finish is the most important stage.
For the Jayhawks, wins mean everything — otherwise the process is a failure. As Weis has noted multiple times, these next four games will be a testament to if this team is honestly getting better. Wins are the blatant measuring stick for that, but things can tend to get aggravating for players and coaches as fans expect immediate results in this age of instant gratification. Through it all, Weis said that the main focus is to draw a conclusion after the season.
"This season will be remembered on what happens in the last four games." Weis said.
"If we go 6-6, they build a statue." Weis said.

While Kansas sits at just two wins, a new slate provides an opportunity for Kansas to prove that its program is gearing toward a positive place.
"That's the perspective we're taking. This 2-6 is not what they're going to be remembered by," Weis said.
Now that things have played out he still believcs in his team and
"I think the most important thing is to let the season play out. Sometimes you have not just how things are going, but how they finish." Weis said last week.
"I'm going to be miserable anyway; it doesn't really make a difference. I like to win every game. I am 2-6 as the head coach this year — I'm not very happy." Weis said. "But it's not because the players aren't playing hard."
The team has had many ups and downs all season, but despite everything, college football is about peaking at the right time. Finishing off the season well, as Weis admits, is a more encouraging sign than how it started off.
that progress will manifest itself in all facets. Weis is still understandably upset at the way the season has gone, but it isn't on the personnel.

"That's their legacy. Their legacy isn't where they are two-thirds of the way through the season." Weis said. "I think that's clearly the way our team is looking at that."

End of an era
Liberty Hall switches to digital projectors after a century of film
KELSEY BARRETT
kbarret@kansan.com
For more than a century, Liberty Hall in downtown Lawrence offered a true cinematic experience to movie-goers. Projectionists prepared films by piecing together several reels and threading them into a platter to create a looping film for an audience. The heavy involvement of projectionists started to fade as the industry evolved digitally.
More than two-thirds of the roughly 130,000 movie screens are digital, according to research conducted by the Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. Studios are pushing for more digital and less film because it lowers film printing costs and theater shipping costs. Smaller, independent cinemas like Liberty Hall see the necessity to switch platforms, but still hold attachment to film.
"There's a romance with the film projectors," said Mick Cottin, cinema manager for Liberty Hall. "We've been showing movies on film since 1912 when the place was built, equipped with the stuff used to show silent films. But in 1924, we showed the first talking movie at Liberty Hall that Lawrence ever had, so there's a history with the film."
"It was pretty whirlwind at the very end there," Cottin said. "[I'm] kind of in disbelief that it actually happened because it was a huge investment and a big deal for the theater, but we were able to do it and continue showing
Barbie Atkins, a graduate student from Iola, has worked with 35-millimeter film for years before starting work at Liberty Hall a year ago. She shared some of the same hesitations in the beginning, but became excited about the positive effects it will bring to downtown.
The National Association of
"The digital switch is something that has been a long time coming." Atkins said. "With small movie theaters it's really switch or die. Liberty Hall is a special case because we offer so much, it is really a pillar of the community in Lawrence."
Theater Owners estimated that 10 to 20 percent of theaters in the country will close if they do not make the conversion. The digital projectors mean more opportunities for Liberty Hall.
Liberty Hall anticipated the change and began saving money as management developed a strategy to keep up with the competition. Cottin announced his decision to leave the theater in August, which served as a catalyst to complete the switch before his departure. The process included research, surveying other theaters in the area and getting a loan.
movies."
"Without the conversion, our ability to bring customers the best possible variety of first-run films would be drastically reduced and eventually impossible," Dean Edington, technical director of Liberty Hall, said in an email. "The huge difference in picture brightness, clarity, depth of color and contrast is immediately visible and the crisp, full tone of the audio in both theaters is like night and day."
Cottin said although it's the end of a projection era, he appreciates what the digital format offers.
"There's going to be certainly people who are sad to see film go but I know that this weekend we had regulars come in and see our films and they were all blown away with it," he said. "The picture, the sound, and the whole experience is a lot different than it used to be. It's much closer to the industry standards that we weren't able to provide because our 35-millimeter projectors were old and well-loved."

"The worst part is having to leave to go home," Addi said about attending the dance marathon.
Every year since the KU Dance Marathon was established in 2008, 7-year-old Addi Davis has sung her favorite Taylor Swift songs in front of the families, dancers and volunteers that participate. This year will be no different.
KUDM is an organization that provides the families and patients of KU Pediatrics, the local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, with a day of support and fun in the form of a dance marathon. Students can register to dance in the marathon with a minimum pledge of $150. All of the funds
raised go to KU Pediatrics. The marathon starts Saturday at 10 a.m. with dancers standing for a full twelve hours in support of those who can't.
many Lawrence families involved in KUDM.
Addi's story started when she was 6 weeks old. After being born with jaundice, her parents, Shawna and Jeffrey, later found out that she had biliary atresia, a disease of the liver where the common bile duct is blocked or missing. About a week later, Addi had her first surgery. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough, so at 6 months old Addi was put on the liver transplant list.
"We're helping local Lawrence and Kansas City
"It was hard, but her smile and her happiness got me through it, and as her mom I was willing to do anything for her," Shawna said. After 17 long months, a diagnosis of rickets and four broken bones, the Davis family received a call: Addi would get a new liver. Within 10 hours of the

This year, KUDM will continue some traditions, such as the opening ceremony, but will also make some changes. Bechard said she is most excited for the rebranding.

New speakers and entertainment will be featured at this year's event that focus on the theme "their dreams, our mission."

Beachard encourages students to participate because of how rewarding the experience is for everyone involved.
"It's really empowering to know, that as the average college student, I can take one day and stand, for twelve hours and know that I made a real difference," Bechard said.
Students can experience KUDM with a team or individually by registering online at www.kudm.org. Registration is open until 9:30 a.m. on Saturday.

SNAP budget cuts affect Douglas County
CALEB SISK

National budget cuts to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, commonly referred to as food stamps, are set to affect a number of Douglas County residents. Nearly 320,000 Kansans will see the effects of these cuts, and close to 8,700 of them are right here in Douglas County.
These cuts stem from funds provided by the 2009 economic stimulus package not being replenished. The stimulus provided extra funding to the SNAP program in an attempt to counter the effects of the recent recession.
Officials at Just Food, a local food bank that provides healthy food to low-income individuals, attest to the implications these cuts will have on needy families.
"Every time food stamps are cut we see an influx of people. When we look at the numbers of people we serve and the amount of funding being cut, we will need to make up for over 31,000 lost meals," said Elizabeth Keever, director of operations at Just Food.
As the winter months approach, the effects of these cuts are expected to intensify.
"People will feel it during the holidays. Kids who are in school won't have access to assisted lunch programs, so they will have to make up those meals with less assistance from SNAP." Keever said.
Another option for those who will need to make up for the gap in funding left by these cuts is local food pantries. One such pantry is the Lawrence Interdenomina-
tional Nutrition Kitchen, or LINK. Located in the basement of the First Christian Church on 10th and Kentucky, LINK provides hot meals every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m.
"This organization is around mainly to help those that need it, but it also provides a safe environment for these people to congregate and interact," said Greg Moore, director of LINK.
"When we look at the numbers of people we serve and the amount of funding being cut,we will need to make up for over 31,000 lost meals."
ELIZABETH KEEVER Just Food director of operations
Moore has been the director at LINK for 6 years now and has made it his mission to improve the quality of life for poverty-strikeen families in Lawrence. Moore is assisted in this mission by over 45 different church and civic groups from the surrounding community. Some volunteer groups come in once a month while others only come in once a year.
One such volunteer is Larry Schlosser, a retiree and member of the First Presbyterian Church. Schlosser and his church come to LINK on the first Tuesday of every month to volunteer. Although this is unpaid volunteer work, Schlosser still says it's important.
"It's rewarding in other ways. I'm working with a lot of great people and putting something back into the community," Schlosser said. "And by having multiple groups do this it spreads the burden and makes the process a lot easier."
Moore expects to see more people coming in for meals outside of his regulars.
"With these budget cuts we expect to see an increase in attendance as people realize their food stamps won't cover all of their meals," Moore said.
Calvin Barnes has been a resident of Lawrence his entire life, but only started receiving food-related assistance around six years ago when he sustained an injury that continues to keep him from regular work.
"I cut yards and stuff but I'm not able to work a lot because I'm hurt," said Barnes, "So stuff like this helps a lot when I need to eat but I run out of food stamps."
So while Congress debates whether or not to extend the extra benefits outlined in the Recovery Act, those in need continue to worry whether they will be able to feed their families. It is organizations like Just Food and LINK that will be forced to pick up the slack and bridge the gap left by these budget cuts.
Calvin serves to put a face to the problem. Most of these people are attempting to make ends meet by working, but are unable to, due to one circumstance or another.

Senate passes resolution on same-sex couple benefits
STUDENT SENATE
Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler addresses Student Senate at the meeting on Wednesday night. Senate addressed election reform, sexual assault and equal benefits for same-sex couples on campus.

Last night's full Student Senate meeting focused on election reform and a resolution to encourage the University to give equal benefits to same-sex couples on campus.
Vice President Emma Halling also addressed the issue of consent and sexual assault in response to the Al Jazeera report published last week. Halling urged the men of the University to get involved.
"This is not a women's issue." Halling said when addressing Senate.
Two male senators asked what men could do to help and address the issue, and Halling suggested men could attend the Title IX monthly round table, join Commission on the Status of Women and use their positions in other groups to bring the issue to the table.
"We need men to step up and go out to their individual communities," Halling said, "and really change the culture among their peers where it's OK to tell a fellow guy, 'hey this behavior is not OK.'"
Election reform moves forward
Both bills passed, and an amendment to the election commission bill added stricter time limits on tabling and campaigning.
Encouraging equal rights on campus
Two election reform bills were presented and discussed, with one focused on defining the terms of the election process, and the other outlining the role of the election commission.
Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler said this legislation is a first step, and reform will only impact students "if the work of our good senators continues to the next and final phases" of election reform.
The most significant change adds caucuses to the election process. The caucuses would allow coalition members to vote on who runs for president and vice president.
Halling presented a resolution that would serve as a call to action
for university officials on same-sex rights.
The resolution references the University's strategic plan, called Bold Aspirations, the University's statement of diversity and inclusion, and the University's nondiscrimination policy. These reinforce the idea that the University should ensure same-
tion of the student body's stance on same-sex rights.
sex partners have the same rights as heterosexual couples, similar to other universities who offer faculty and staff with same-sex partners benefits such as healthcare and paternity or maternity leave.
The resolution passed. University officials and area media outlets will receive resolution as a representa-
it's a civil rights issue for our generation and for the people who are working and taking classes at the University of Kansas," Halling said.

POLITICS
State funding cuts make education a low priority
Last Wednesday, the state legislature was once again touring the state's higher education institutions and made their last stop in Lawrence. The House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Ways and Means Committee met with the chancellor, provost, vice-provost of public affairs and other administrators to discuss issues that affect the University.
KU Administrators told the legislature all the ways the State's investment in higher-ed can return to the economy and how that return would shape the future of the state. The legislature heard how successful the Bold Aspirations campaign has been, and how it could be a catalyst to help the state adapt and flourish if given appropriate help, for example, reversing the funding cuts or maybe even going so far as to provide reasonable funding.
Without investments to education, it won't just be students that are hurt. It will be anyone in Kansas who wants a job. They won't get one, because no one will be expanding business in a state that lacks a competitive, skilled and educated labor force, undermined by a government that has fallen behind others in the region in funding our universities.
If the University is not a catalyst for change, the state won't adapt to economic trends and new fields of employment. As new types of jobs emerge due to new technology — the rate of which only increases with time — education must be the piece that helps Kansas keep up with the times.
By Clay Cosby
ccosby@kansan.com
But I'm tired of hoping that this legislature will start doing their jobs and serving the interests of Kansans. There is little need for speculation; their previous actions speak for themselves. While they are happy to come and "listen" to appeals and explain how education is a priority, we can predict what they will actually do about it. Nothing. They could continue to cut funding, though probably
not in an election year. They could pretend, as they do now, that the income tax cuts are going to come back and help students, when in reality all they're doing is shifting the expenses to sales and property taxes where the burden will fall less on the Koch brothers, and more on the average student and food stamp-user. It doesn't take an expert to predict what a group with a track record as consistent as a meth addict's will do.
The legislative body has seen these appeals before, and as effective as the KU administration has been with Bold Aspirations, they can only hit them over the head with common sense so many times. In the past, legislators have even cited Bold Aspirations success as a reason to decrease funding. A program designed to
raise funds to launch the University's growth and ascension to new heights has been called a reason to decrease the share of the State's investment. That is a direct and hypocritical contradiction to the very principle that the ultra-nut tea party wing vehemently cackles while cutting food stamps for the poor – in a free market economy, the winners should not be punished for success.
But in this case, one issue they've nailed in Topeka is equality. I know that sounds counterintuitive in Kansas, but no matter your political allegiance or party affiliation, all Kansans are being let down.

Seniors may be campus big shots but the real world isn't impressed
I'm going to go out on a limb and say I'm a pretty big deal. I have two jobs, two kick-ass internships, a great big house with my friends, a decent GPA, a fridge full of beer and a closet full of cute shoes.
I have causes that are important to me, teachers who think I will go far, a family that worships me and an aging shih tzu to hang out with. All of this combined adds up to one pretty important person, right?
Wrong. So wrong. More than any other time in my life, senior year of college just makes me chuckle. It creates the *illusion* that we are a force to be reckoned with. We seemingly know everyone on campus, have scoped out every bar, have (maybe) figured out what we want to do with our lives and generally feel like we've made a name for ourselves.
By Lindsey Mayfield
lmayfield@kansan.com
The funny thing? We are just big, fat nobodies to anyone who doesn't live within a five-mile radius of the Kansas Union.
This is true even more so than when we were seniors in high school. Back then, we were at least the stars of one team, or of a few hundred kids or of a small town. Our parents really did think we were somebodies... for whatever reason.
And now? People generally don't care what we do unless we get arrested or send them a resume.
I know this is a hard pill to swallow. I too believed that because I was young and smart and could curl a mean ponytail - I was important. But, slowly, I
have come to see the truth
have come to see the trust.
The perfect example is how I approached my internship this semester at a very cool TV station in Kansas City. I went in the first week, guns HOT. I bought legal pads, signed my phone to my company email so I could stay in the loop and put together the most professional wardrobe I could find. I felt totally hirable and ready to wow people.
As you might imagine, things didn't exactly go as I planned. Someone had to let me in the back door when my key card didn't work, one of the editors straight up refused to make me a file for my projects (I thought she was kidding…she wasn't), and my name was either "intern," "sorry I forgot your name" or nothing at all.
I even brought in coffee and bagels for my birthday to bribe them, but the only comment they made was about how a college student could afford such fancy bagels. Even breakfast food didn't get them to budge? I was agasthet that my enthusiasm didn't mean anything to them.
But you know what? It really didn't mean anything. I hadn't earned this respect, hadn't put in the hard work and hadn't proven
that I was anything more than a 22-year-old with a MacBook and $30 for bagels. It wasn't until about six weeks later, after I had proven myself and run the gantlet a few times, that anyone really learned my name. Nowadays, I can laugh at myself when I say good morning to someone and get ignored, or when I pitch a story and get shut down. Because that's where I'm at in life, but this stage also comes with some great perks, like the freedom to experiment and screw up without too many consequences.
I used to start a lot of sentences with "Look, I'm not a child, I’m 22 years old.". which, looking back now, is of course ridiculous. Because to a lot of people, a 22-year-old is certainly a child. I am a baby in terms of maturity, experience, skill, finances and a whole host of other life lessons.
MENTAL HEALTH
Once we realize this, we can take one of two roads: either spend our time proving ourselves and earning the right to be taken seriously; or accept this time in our young, inexperienced lives and enjoy it as much as possible.
I'll let you guess which path I'm trying to take, and encourage you to reflect on your own choice when it comes to this subject. Because, in the end, I'm still spending my days eating ramen and updating my LinkedIn profile, and that's exactly where I meant to be.

Seasonal affective disorder touches many during winter
As the waning semester begins to take hold, I never cease to feel the stress. With each passing day, I realize that I'm spending all my time playing video games or sleeping in. And with each passing day, I also realize that I'm that much closer to some imminent nightmare of a test and have wasted hours of potential study time. This can be a sad, vicious cycle. Yet as fall turns to winter, and long summer days turn to dark-by-five-o'clock nights, sometimes the sadness that sets in is more than typical of the situation. People are being diagnosed more and more with a condition aptly named SAD, or seasonal affective disorder.
SAD symptoms start in the fall and may continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. Less often, seasonal affective disorder causes depression in the spring or early summer, according to mavocolic.com.
Some of its symptoms are similar to depression itself: difficulty getting motivated, extended periods of sadness, withdrawal from things you had previously enjoyed and change in appetite or sleep patterns. Realistically, it just makes you feel really crappy all-around.
But what can we do about it? Something I've noticed that helps me in the winter is to go tan. During my research, I found that light therapy is something that is often used for SAD treatment, albeit with a "lightbox." But there is one thing that I feel that it is necessary to push.
Therapy is another suggestion from the Mayo Clinic, and I feel that the value of that therapy can't be understated. There is a definite stigma surrounding it. People seem to feel that you have to be crazy, or broken to talk to someone. That is simply not true. Consider it a kind of maintenance. There is something to be said for

being able to talk to someone and hold nothing back.
FFA OF THE DAY
Therapy eases the stress to be something for everyone else. Maybe I'm the only one, but if I'm being honest, how I'm perceived by other people is important to me, and so I don't always voice my fears and concerns. It's hard sometimes. But in therapy, we can be ourselves. Worst case scenario, your therapist thinks you're a weirdo. The wonderful thing is that you've already paid, so they have to sit and listen anyway. CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) on campus has absurdly affordable services. You might as well try it one time.
You also may try the temporary use of antidepressants, at the discretion of a doctor. As a precautionary note, I will mention that these things don't always work the way you want them to. It takes time to figure out the right one. It's awful when you are just stuck feeling like a zombie and become impotent, but keep trying. It's worth it.
if you're still not convinced, I'll leave you with this from Mayo Clinic. "It's normal to have some days when you feel down. But if you feel down for days at a time and you can't seem to get motivated to do activities you normally enjoy, see your doctor. This is particularly important if you notice that your sleep patterns and appetite have changed or if you feel hopeless, think about suicide, or find yourself turning to alcohol for comfort or relaxation."

Miranda Treas, a sophomore from Prairie Village, turned her childhood passion for sewing into a lingerie business.
Student channels creativity into handmade lingerie line
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER
hsundermeyer@kansan.com
Initially jumpstarting her fashion debut as an intern with local Kansas City, Mo., designer Hadley Johnson, Treas picked up on valuable sewing and industry skills by spending time with the couturier and even making contributions to Johnson's award-winning collection.
Miranda Treas, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., is not your typical college student. Balancing schoolwork and sorority functions, she also has successfully designed and launched the lingerie line "Treas."
"During my time in Hadley's studio, I was taught the meticulous sewing techniques, which she had learned during her time at Parson's Paris. The collection I spent the most time with was "Till Death Do Us Part," Treas said. "Hadley was named Parsons Paris 2010 Designer of the Year for this collection, and I'm honored to have been able to have been involved and do my small
part in the big scheme of things.
As talented as she is, I admire how humble Hadley is the most."
Treas last put her new skills to the test, working alongside Peregrine Honig, the owner of Birds, a lingerie shop in the Crossroads District of Kansas City. Mo. It was there that Treas was encouraged to design a line of panties to be sold in the shop. "Reservoir padded me to order

uergarments requires a delicate touch and is quite time-consuming. Treas starts by designing patterns in sizes XS-XXL and then cuts out the fabric. She then serges the seams together, applies lace or a fold over, and then adds the panty liner and label tab.
building off of a passion for sewing which started as a child, as well as several years of experience through her attendance at Fashion and Design at Broadmoor Technical Center during high school, Treas said she was "introduced to every aspect of fashion design, from figure drawing to creating patterns using CAD software." Through many hours of practice, as well as plenty of trial and error, Treas reached the point where she could easily design a garment, and then translate it into a pattern. These patterns are then used to cut out the necessary fabric for production.

"Treas' would not have been something I did on a whim," Treas said. "The most difficult part of being my own boss is finding the motivation to work for hours on end during the summer, which usually took place after a day of work as a seamstress for a post-surgical compression garment company, Contour MD. Keeping up with inventory of materials along with organization are a few of the many struggles I face, I blame these on my ADHD, which I also blame for

Theater production brings awareness to cultural issues
KATE MILLER
kmiller@kansan.com
The Lied Center will present "Red, Black and Green: a Blues" this Saturday evening, a hybrid-theater production that focuses on bringing awareness to various issues in today's culture.
The show was, written by Marc Bamuthi Joseph for the Living Word Project and directed by Michael John Garces, employs the use of spoken-word poetry, storytelling, music, dance and movement to present the issues of race, culture, class and environment in the eyes of black America.
"It's a one-of-a-kind, moving piece," said Michele Berendsen, marketing communications director for the Lied Center, "and the fact that it's here is amazing."
The show travels through four cities during four seasons to explore the challenges of building a socially
conscious arts festival that will help people from all classes of society. One of these challenges is "browning the green movement," or promoting the green movement among black society.
"You don't see a high level of diversity at green conferences," Joseph said.
"The idea of the green movement [promotes] practices we need to collectively move to a relationship with the planet that is healthier to preserve it for generations to come." Joseph said.
In addition to its lack of diversity, Joseph was also inspired by the green movement itself and its goal to engage communities in the conversation of environmental stability.
"The variation [among the show] comes from the audience," he said. "The art and the audience aren't separate."
improvisation from show-to-show comes from the interaction between the audience and the actors.

Joseph described the show as one that "creates an instant community" among the actors and the audience. While Joseph's script remains a grounding point for the show, the
The show actually begins with the audience being onstage with the set and actors, something that Joseph says is one of the most unique aspects of the performance.

inner set is amazing," Berendsen said. "The interactive quality of the piece is something, I think, that can relate to almost anyone who goes... You're not going to see anything else like this."
Since it first premiered two years ago, "Red, Black and Green: a Blues" has played in more than 20 major cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. The show will be performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., this upcoming April.
Before the performance Saturday night, the Lied Center and the KU Center for Sustainability will host a Sustainability Expo the same day from 6 to 7 p.m. Groups involved with issues such as renewable energy, social justice, and environmental and social responsibility will be present to spread awareness.
The Lied Center also presented a roundtable discussion with Joseph yesterday, encouraging creative
and environmental action on campus. The community roundtable addressed how the local creative ecosystem can thrive and promote local change, connecting to the upcoming performance of Joseph's work.
These events, as well as the performance, are made possible by a National Endowment for the Arts grant that the Lied Center received last April.
The show starts at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, and tickets cost $21-24 for adults and $11-$12 for students and children, depending on the price level of the seats. Tickets can be purchased at the Lied Center Ticket Office or online at lied. ku.edu.

Jake Clemons had his first saxophone performance when he was 13 years old. Like most kids his age, he had been nervous and according to him, only "alright for his age". However, unlike most 13-year-old musicians, Clemons' audience was a bit larger than what most are used to. He was playing for the whole country at Bill Clinton's inauguration.
"It was crazy, because I woke up the next day with money in my pocket and face on the front cover of newspapers all around the world." Clemons said.
Though it may have been his first gig. Clemons wasn't completely new to the world of live music. His uncle, the late Clarence Clem-
ons, was the saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.
"When I saw my uncle play for the first time, it rocked my world," Clemons said. "That's when I knew I wanted to play music. He was a huge supporter of ambition, and it was something I really wanted. I was hungry for it."

from that point on, Clemons worked hard to develop his music career. During his early teen years, he created a band that would play for empty venues around Virginia in hopes of attracting customers to their audience. Throughout his career, Clemons has started several bands, performed solo acts and toured around the world, including playing for New York City's Fashion Week.
Clemons made his biggest debut after the death of his uncle. When Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band needed a saxophonist to stand in for their Wrecking Ball Tour, Clemons stepped up to take his uncle's place in the band.
pretty sure there's no way this is happening, but you're breathing and moving so you go ahead and do it anyway. Before you know it you look back on yesterday and it's the strangest moment when you think, "Wow, that really happened."
After two years of playing in the E Street Band, Clemons got back to work on his own music. He recently released his single "You Must Be Crazy," and his EP "Embracie
"There was so much significance to it when I played his saxophone on Bruce's stage for the past few years," Clemons said.
"Performing is a lot like sitting down for coffee with a good friend and you have a fantastic conversation that you don't want to walk away from because it's honest and earnest and deep." Clemons said. "That's what this is about. You're in a room with a lot of hearts and souls of people who want to be part of that conversation."
Life" is soon to follow.
This Friday Clemons will be performing closer to home. Clemons will play at The Granada along with Robert Randolph and the Family Band. Tickets are $25 at the door and the performance begins at 8 p.m.

Chance the Rapper, a hip-hop artist from Chicago, is stopping in Lawrence this Sunday, Nov. 10, at Liberty Hall as part of his current tour. The show completely sold out on Monday, but SUA and KJHK have a few tickets available that can be won through social media contests.
Chance is an up-and-coming rapper whose latest mixtape, "Acid Rap," reached No. 63 on the US R&B charts and is said to be one of the best hip-hop releases of the year.
"He's a very interesting artist because his music has multiple different genres, mixing between R&B and hip-hop sounds," said Michael Engelken, live events director for KIHK.
SUA and KJHK have partnered up for the first time this year and are working together to plan live entertainment events for students.
"It been really neat working with another organization to make these events possible," said Subha Upadhyayula, live music coordinator
for SUA. "KJHK helps us a lot with picking the bands. They want upand-coming acts to come to the University and it's interesting to get their perspective on music events. We are so excited that Chance added us to his tour."
Chance has made guest appearances with well-known artists including, but not limited to, Hoodie Allen, Lil Wayne and Rapsoy. His first mixtape, "10 Day," was featured in Forbes magazine's "Top Cheap Tunes" column, and recently he was highlighted in Complex magazine's "10 New Chicago Rappers to Look Out For."
"Acid Rap, went platinum and was nominated for Best Mixtape at the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards. "10 Day" and "Acid Rap" are available as free downloads.
Chance the Rapper's current tour, Social Experiment, began on Oct. 25 in Champaign, Ill., and will end on Dec. 7 in Miami.
Doors open at 8 p.m.The show is for ages 18 and up.

Ansari's 'Buried Alive' sure to spark laughs
KAITLYN HILGERS
khilgers@kansan.com
COMEDY
Aziz Ansari is back and, well,
old. Maybe that's not the best way
of looking at it, but that's the focus
of his third stand-up special,
"Buried Alive." About to turn 30,
Ansari puts his own unique comic
spotlight on topics such as marriage,
babies and much more.
Premiered as a Netflix Comedy Special, the 80 minute stand-up was filmed specifically for Netflix. Netflix has turned to comedy to help expand its original programming following the success of the reboot of "Arrested Development." It's unclear whether Netflix will continue down this path and get more original material from other popular comedians, especially after the success of the dramas like "House of Cards" and the new pick up of original documentary "The Square." It would be in their interest to keep the comedy spirit alive. Their choice of Ansari was perfect, especially with the popularity of "Parks and Recreation."
Personally, my views of Ansari have shifted like crazy. After falling in love during "intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening", his first comedy special, I was totally let down by "Dangerously Delicious". It seemed like he took out all of the intelligence in his jokes and decided to focus on raunchy and inappropriate material instead.
However, 30 seems to suit Ansari well — he's finally toeing the line between raunch and wit perfectly. He knows when to be inappropriate (for example, when he talks about illicit text messages), but also knows when to be completely honest in a humorous
fashion, like when he discusses having children.
The best part of the show isn't necessarily the scripted pieces that Ansari has worked so hard on, but rather his interactions with the audience. My favorite part is when he asks a married couple about their proposal story and pokes fun at the choice to propose at a five star restaurant... during lunch.
Overall, the special is pretty hilarious and definitely worth a watch (or two). Especially for all you "Parks and Rec" fans who are still waiting until next week for new shows. This might be just the thing to hold you over until then. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

While Treas directs all of her focus towards academics during school months, she hopes to further her education through internships following graduation from the University. When it comes to the future of her line, Miranda aspires to one day be able to work on "Treas" full time.
to use on Trees 'tun time.
"I can't say exactly what the future holds, although I know 'Treas' will always be with me.
During the school year I sadly put 'Treas' on hold, although I wish it were possible to set up shop in Lawrence and set balance life between 'Treas' and school-work 'Treas' said.
For students looking to start their own businesses, Treas' best piece of advice is to "go for it. Find mentors that want to help you succeed, and take advantage of advice. Make a business plan and set out with determination to execute. I suggest taking Entrepreneurship with Wally Meyer if you want to learn the basics with a guy who truly wants to educate young entrepreneurs."
Treas says that through Wal-
Ily's curriculum, she was able to learn how to successfully launch and run a business. And with Wally's enthusiasm, she was inspired and excited to expand her business and be an entrepreneur—specifically her own boss.
"Before taking this class, I was clueless as to what steps to take to build a business but the reality check Wally gave me pushed me to take everything more seriously."Treas said.
With the experience gained from her multitude of jobs, Treas has created something she can build a lifelong career around.
"With the support from the ladies at Birdies as well as my family and friends, I have been able to create my dream job." Treas said.
Because Treas must stock Birdies during the summer and winter months, there is a limited number of merchandise available. If interested, you can shop at http://birdiespanties.com/ or visit the boutique at 116 West 18th St. in Kansas City, Mo.

Sorority brings fair trade Bolivian goods to Wescoe
jmedrano@kansan.com
The prices range from $14 for gloves, scarves and hats to $48 for sweaters and hoodies.
Colorful scarves and sweaters stand out from the gloomy weather on Mount Oread this week as people line tables at Wescoe Beach for Sigma Lambda Gamma's annual fundraiser. The products, which include scarves, gloves, mittens, sweaters, hoodies, hats and leg warmers, are handmade and sewn from alpaca wool by people in Bolivia.
"I want to make things better back home," said Mario Andrade, director of the fair trade cooperative Manos de Bolivia, which is Spanish for Hands of Bolivia. "Some people use words, but I use education and action to help those who don't have opportunities available to them."
The goal of the cooperative is to help improve the quality of life for the indigenous and rural people of Bolivia.
"Everything is handmade, vegetable dyed and most of the hats are crocheted," said Latisha Johnson, a sophomore Sigma Lambda Gamma member from West St. Paul, Minn.
"There is a lot of work that goes into making everything."
"It's a different way to raise money," Johnson said. "People get to see
the product and actually understand what they are donating to. They come to the table and have the interaction with someone like Mario who can explain to them what everything they want to know."
Sigma Lambda Gamma Delta Alpha chapter has hosted the fundraiser sale at the University for several years.
"I buy two things at least every year since I know that a majority of money goes to helping people in Bolivia," said Brenda Morales, a senior Sigma Lambda Gamma member from Kansas City, Kan. "Only 20 percent of the proceeds go to the sorority and the remaining funds go to the free-trade co-op."
The funds raised by the cooperative go back to Bolivian communities to help with medicine, water education and other forms of aid. The money also helps fund the sorority's trip to their convention and other projects. This is one of several stops that Andrade and his group make throughout the United States. Other locations include Truman State University and the University of Nebraska.
The Manos de Bolivia cooperative and Sigma Lambda Gamma fundraiser will remain on Wescoe Beach until Friday and is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

COMMENTARY Self catches lucky break in recruitment
As if Bill Self needed any lucky breaks on the recruiting trail recently, one of his biggest targets for next year's recruiting class just so happens to be dating a freshman on the Kansas women's basketball team.
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Forward Cliff Alexander, the No. 4 recruit in the Class of 2014, will choose between Kansas and three other schools—Illinois, DePaul, Memphis—on November 15 on ESPN9. His last weekend before the announcement will be spent here in Lawrence watching his girlfriend, freshman Caelynn Allen-Manning, play against Oral Roberts on Sunday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse.
It's a boost that a recruiter like Self at a place like Kansas doesn't need, but will gladly take. Alexander recently cut the only other powerhouse on his list, Michigan State, and is down to a few local schools and Memphis. If having his girlfriend on campus wasn't enough to lure the big man, Self has another trump card. Assistant coach Jerrance Howard was the first coach to recruit Alexander a few years ago while he was coaching at Illinois. Every sign points to a happy Kansas coaching staff and fanbase after next Friday's announcement.
But Alexander isn't the only Top 5 recruit that Self is trying to sign. Center Jahilil Okafor (No.1) and point guard Tyus Jones (No.5) have said all along that they will play college basketball together, and both players have Kansas and Duke on their lists. They were also in town—and the reason—for the impromptu open scrimmage a few weeks ago in Allen Fieldhouse. Alexander and Okafor aren't playing together next year, leaving three viable options for Kansas: Alexander commits, Okafar and Jones commit, or all three players go elsewhere, which is doubtful.
And while Okafor and Jones won't commit before Alexander's announcement next week, it is hard to see Self turning down two Top 5 players in order to land one player. If Okafer and Jones are coming to Kansas, Alexander likely won't commit next Friday. If Alexander does commit to Kansas Friday, Okafar and Jones were probably going elsewhere. Confused yet?
Whatever happens, Self should have at least one cornerstone of next year's recruiting class locked down shortly, allowing him to fill in any more pieces as he deems appropriate while finding room for more Final Four banners.

THE MORNING BREW
Professional athletes should practice good sportsmanship
S
Sportsmanship is one of the most preached concepts to adolescent athletes. You are taught to treat both your teammates and your opponents with courtesy and respect. At the end of every game that I have ever played in, both teams shake hands and congratulate each other with a fist bump and an obligatory "good game." Every Little League, high school and pick up game comes with its own set of mercy rules to prevent the score from getting out of hand. These rituals are meant to mold young athletes into respectful upstanding adults.
By Ben Felderstein
bfelderstein@kansan.com
These athletes take the sportsmanship they learned from their playing days and transfer them into the workplace. But what happens to the people who do make it in professional sports? Athletes spend their entire lives competing and trying to be the best they possibly can. In some cases, adults forget the lessons they have learned as children, and sportsmanship takes a backseat to competitiveness. However, there's still hope for sportsmanship in the top leagues.
Last Saturday, my friend Ben Lipowitz and I were watching Manchester City take on Norwich City. For those of you who do not know, these two teams play in the English Premier League — considered the most prestigious professional soccer league
in the world. Coming into this match, Man City was heavily favored. So there was no surprise when they scored four goals in the first 36 minutes. When the game clock struck 90:00, the scoreboard read 7-0.
was this seven-goal victory unsportsmanlike? Should Man City have let up when the game was clearly in their favor? The answer to both of these questions is a firm yes. However, Lipowitz could not have disagreed more. His argument was that the fans pay to see their team give it their all for 90 minutes.
No professional soccer team enjoys getting shut out, especially when the other team puts up seven goals. No professional athlete enjoys be embarrassed on his or her field. A mercy rule cannot be instituted in
professional sports, but there comes a time where enough is enough.
Being a professional athlete is a privilege, but some athletes abuse or forget that. Whenever a player scores a touchdown in the NFL, there is a celebration that follows. Whether it's a salsa dance, a Gronk Spike or a hellacious dunk through the uprights, every player has their own signature move. That's not to say that these celebrations should be outlawed, but they can get out of han
In January 2006, a Texas high school girls' basketball team defeated another school 100-0. The team was up 59-0 at halftime. Parents who were at the game said that Covenant High, the winning team, players continued to chuck up three-pointers all the way through the fourth quarter. This, not unlike the Man City game, is a case of a team needing to ease up. The Covenant High School coach was fired the Sunday following the game after refusing to apologize.
No matter how much better one team is than another, it is never acceptable to beat them by that kind of margin. It is an embarrassment to both programs.
Luckily, there are plenty of examples of good sportsmanship in the world. After Boston defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series, the Red Sox released a letter to all Cardinals fans thanking them for their hospitality and respect for the game. One line says "Your region, its people, and the entire Cardinals organization represent everything that's great about baseball." This was a true class act by the Boston Red Sox. It shows that when
THE BREW
you get past the competitiveness and love for winning, there is admiration and respect shared between the two organizations.
Like them or not, the Red Sox organization shows us that sportsmanship is not dead. Putting all the inappropriate blowouts, showboating and celebrations aside, sportsmanship can still be found. Not every professional athlete forgets the lessons they learned in Little League.
Being a professional athlete is a privilege. Professionals owe each other the courtesy and respect of demonstrating good sportsmanship in their workplace just like teachers, doctors and businessmen demonstrate in theirs.

West Virginia ran all over Kansas in the Jayhawks' quarterfinal matchup in the Big 12 Championship last night, ending the Kansas soccer season. The Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, West Virginia's Frances Silva, scored two early goals, and the Jayhawks didn't come close to recovering, eventually falling 0-3.
Under the lights at the newly completed Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Mo., both of Silva's goals came with the clock stopped.
following fouls by Kansas. The Overland Park native took advantage of a free kick in the 17th minute and then a penalty kick less than eight minutes later.
"Second half I thought we competed really well," coach Mark Francis said. "I thought the penalty kick killed us."
Kansas, the eighth seed in the tournament, was overwhelmed offensively by the number one seed. The Jayhawks were outshot 20-7. West Virginia had 13 shots alone in the first half and had 11 of their shots on goal. None of Kansas' shots were on frame. Sophomore
forward Ashley Williams and senior forward Caroline Kastor led the Jayhawks in shots with two each.
"In the second half, we gave the third," Francis said. "It's tough to come back against these guys. You've got to give it to them. West Virginia is a good team. Offensively, they have so many different weapons."

Tessa Broadwater scored the third goal 10 minutes into the second half, with the assist from Ashley Lawrence. Broadwater started in the place of injured Mountaineer Kate Schwindel.
the bright spot for the Jayhawks was junior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud. Despite the three goals that
went past her, she prevented the score from getting uglier. She added eight saves to her season total.

FOOTBALL
Senior kicker Ron Doherty proves worthy of second chance
coberkrom@kansan.com
I CONNOR OBERKROM
Kansas' senior kicker Ron Doherty had waited for the call.
"I was ready to go. You never know, it just kind of happens," Doherty said.
After coach Charlie Weis had seen enough from Matthew Wyman after he misfired on a 31-yard field goal, Doherty got the call and it all came unexpectedly quick.
Doherty redeemed himself - after a rough 2012 campaign - against Texas last Saturday connecting on his two field goal attempts and the one extra point.
"It was definitely a plus to go 2-for-2 in the game and hit the extra point," Doherty said. "That is definitely a positive of getting back out there."
The Jayhawks were left looking for a new kicker from unsatisfactory performances from Doherty last year. He has no hard feelings about what happened.
"At the end of the day, it's not always positive, there are always negatives to the whole thing." Dohervv
said. "I do feel like it was an adverse situation and I thought the only way I could go was up and I did."
I found a Doherty, who filled every kicking position last season, didn't find his name on the depth chart this year.
"I just knew I just needed a chance to prove myself and got some opportunities to go out there and kick, and slowly and surely I worked my way back up," Doherty said.
Doherty's second attempt against Texas made it through with some aid from the uprights. Afterward one of the coaches went up to Doherty and told him he was "living right."
A lot of players that faced that kind of adversity may have called it quits, but Doherty kept clicking along, never doubting that he get another opportunity to prove himself. His teammates also played a crucial factor, helping him stick around for one more year.
"I love those guys. Those guys are my teammates. I would do anything for those guys," Doherty said. "There are people here that I'll stay with the rest of my life."
Through all the dregs of being yanked from the starting position, Doherty understands the team mentality of it all better than anything.
"Not a spot is secure on this team, you always have to be competing, that's what coach Weis has instilled here, which is fine," Doherty said. "As long as you do your job, you're going to keep it. I didn't do my job to the best of my abilities so they brought in some more competition."
Doherty never thought the end of last season would be the end of his career, and is mentally and physically more prepared, working on driving through the ball. From a mentality standpoint, he is more than ready to do his task when his name is called.
It was called and he delivered. "I'm very grateful for what happened, I'm just getting my opportunity and going with it," Doherty said.

With Naadir Tharpe serving a single game suspension, Mason will begin the year as Kansas' top point guard. Whether or not this is by default, Mason proved that he belongs on the floor after pushing the tempo in Tuesday's exhibition against Fort Hays State. The freshman recorded four points and six assists with three steals and just one turnover.

SEASON TIPOFF
A couple of electrifying plays made it seem as though Wiggins had a better game against the Tigers than the box score shows. Yes, he scored 10 points, but shot just 4-10. It's clear the freshman hasn't played anywhere close to what his skills dictate but that's likely just a product of the preseason.

STARTING LINEUP
The Kansas offense has been the anchor to the football team's progression. The anchor is a metaphor for the offense's ability to keep the team still — completely unprogressive. The offense has managed to keep Kansas relatively close to the dock actually, and now we continue to see a battle for captainship: the rotating possessions between Montell Cozart and Jake Heape. Heaps gets the start this week, but does it really mean anything. Kansas does have stud playmaker Tony Pierson back in the lineup though, so the hopes should be higher than previous weeks.
KANSAS
OFFENSE
DEFENSE
The defense has managed to keep games fairly manageable for Kansas and its struggling offense. It requires forcing turnovers: something this defense does particularly well. They force just under two turnovers a game and they may need a few more than that to make things interesting against a team that has won four straight Big 12 games. They also are 15th in the nation in points, averaging 40.4 points per contest.

PREDICTION FOR KANSAS 41-16 OK. STATE KANSAS
QUESTION MARKS
Starting the year, Kansas football players and coaches made sure to provide clear distinctions between this year's team and last year's team. Right now, fans haven't seen much of a difference. A loss here not only buries player's hope of bowl eligibility, but allows fans another reason to believe that Kansas hasn't taken any significant steps as a football program since Charlie Weis arrived. Can Kansas give the fans a reason to think that this year is distinguishable from last year?
SPECIAL TEAMS
Well, Matthew Wyman had his time. The kicker that nailed a 53-yard game winner earlier this year will now be No.2 on the depth chart behind Ron Doherty, the kicker that was benched last season. Charlie Weis is fighting old demons with this decision, but has confirmed that Doherty will be taking the first kicker. With Doherty's history, you can expect to see Wyman at some point again in the season. As for punting, Trevor Pardula has a great leg on him.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Tony Pierson. Kansas' biggest offensive weapon is back on the depth chart this weekend, and that's more than beautiful for Kansas. The Kansas offense may not be the most glamorous offense with him, but he brings things a step up from ugly. Pierson's first few plays will be key in determining both his intended impact on the game and if he is, indeed. 100 percent recovered from concussion troubles.
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 IF
Kansas doesn't throw the game on one play. Kansas has been notorious this season for letting the momentum of games switch with just a play. Early in the season it was the fake punt run, last week it was a Jake Heaps fumble returned for a touchdown, and there's been plenty in between. Kansas has been a horrible passenger on the roller coaster ride of momentum, and if they can resist throwing the game away in one or two plays, they can keep this game close. Just keep things interesting.
AT A GLANCE
When you're watching Kansas play from now on, it should be understood that Jake Heaps and Montell Cozart are not complements. It's turned into a battle for the starter position. It's plausible that the battle for next year's starting quarterback position is right now. With each week, Heaps takes the shape of Dayne Crist more and more, and with Cozart bringing the run element to the pocket, Weis has every reason to give Cozart the nod. Cozart's first touchdown, a 20-yard run last week against Texas, should only accelerate his ascension.

Albers, Kansas sweep West Virginia in home win
BLAIR SHEADE
bsheade@kansan.com
The No. 22 Jayhawks took down the West Virginia Mountaineers in a 25-15, 25-18, 25-19 sweep last night at the Horeksi Athletic Center.
The Jayhawks have swept ten teams this season and four have been against Big 12 Conference teams. The Jayhawks worked hard for these sweeps and the senior leadership was the key, said head coach Ray Bechard.
In the second set, junior outside hitter Chelsea Albers passed a hard hit ball down the right baseline, which was her first right of the game
and her 200th dig of the season. Albers ended the game with five digs.
Albers is now part of the 200 kills and 200 digs club this season. Albers is the first player to accomplish the 200/200 season since 2011, where Allison Mayfield posted hers.
"I'm more well known to be an offensive threat, but my passing is a bigger skill that I need to work on." Albers said. "I take pride in both of my games, but my passing has improved a lot and I take a lot of pride in that."
Albers, who was named the Big 12 Conference defensive player of the week on Oct. 21, recorded a statistic in almost every volleyball category—hitting, blocking and passing. Albers brings value to the Jayhawks, said coach Bechard.
"A right side that can block balls, attack, serve, pass and dig is very valuable." Bechard said. "When she is passing at a high level, her game really elevates."
For a volleyball player to be an all around player, it requires a lot of skill. Albers has that skill, which allows her to barely ever leave the court.
"I have worked hard to improve myself as a well rounded six rotation player." Albers said.
outside hitter Catherine Carmichael started her success the last time the Jayhawks played the Mountaineers.
Last night, Carmichael recorded just eight kills, but she played well, said Bechard, Carmichael, who came to Kansas freshman year not playing much volleyball, has recorded 65 kills since becoming the starter on Oct. 19 against West Virginia.
"I feel like I'm playing pretty well," Carmichael said. "Everyone has their ups and downs, but when you come in and you have a team that knows how to work together, we're a mature and older team and we know how to play together and that
Carmichael, being a redshirt senior, had a hard time not starting from the beginning of the season.
works in our favor."
"It was tough, I'm not going to say it was not," Carmichael said. "Things don't always go your way, but when they do, you go in and give it your best. When they don't, you turn and cheer your team on."
Carmichael's success comes from her hard work in practice and being patient while waiting for her time to play.
"My goal everyday is to come into practice and work hard and that's what I do," Carmichael said. "When your role is to play, you play. And
when your role is to cheer on the team, you cheer on the team."
The team switched the rotation from sophomore outside hitter Tiana Dockery to Carmichael since the Jayhawks played in Morgantown, W. Va. Carmichael provides the team with some abilities that Dockery couldn't bring.
"Cathy (Carmichael) can hit high and hit over people," Bechard said. "She place the ball line well and she is as physical blocker on the left side as there is in the Big 12."

Zusi leads Sporting to series comeback win over Revolution
BEN FELDERSTEIN
bfelderstein@kansan.com
Sporting Kansas City entered the night trailing the New England Revolution 2-1 in the aggregate. New England defeated Sporting 2-1 in their previous match. Sporting, being a defensive-minded squad, came into last night's match with caution on their minds. A one goal differential was all Sporting needed to force overtime.
The scoreless tie was broken in the 41st minute on a rebounded goal from Sporting's defensmen, Aurelien Collin. Forward Dominic Dwyer crossed the ball into the box and the ball rebounded off the goalie's hands, landing right at the feet of Collin. Collin finished and tied the aggregate at two goals per team.
The first half ended with Sporting leading not only in goals, but also in possession and shots on goal. Sporting completely dominated the first half.
The Revolution came out of the locker room after the first half with a more aggressive style of play, but they still seemed to be a step behind. Sporting's defense remained razor sharp.
In the 68th minute, New England was finally able to break through. A foul was called on Sporting defenseman Matt Besler, giving New England a free kick. New England midfielder Kelyn Rowe served the ball into the box, where it was finished by forward Dimitry Imbongo, giving the Revolution a 3-2 lead in the aggregate. Sporting's defenseman Seth Sinovic scored the second goal of the night in the 79th minute.
As full time ended, the aggregate score remained 3-3, sending the game into overtime.
The first overtime period began with both teams trading possession back and forth. In the 96th minute, Sporting's Paulo Nagamura was subbed out for forward Soony Saad to add offensive pressure. The two teams remained locked up for the aggregate 3-3 at the end of the first overtime period.
The final overtime period started out like the first half did; Sporting was in possession and they were moving up the field fast. Sporting was finally able to break the aggregate tie in the 113th minute of the game. Claudio Bieler took the pinpoint pass from Benny Feilhabet and finished with just seven minutes left of play. Head coach Peter Vermes' decision to put an extra attacker certainly paid off.
Sporting KC was able to overcome a one-goal aggregate deficit and power past the New England Revolution 3-1, with the aggregate final score of 4-3. Sporting dominated possession the entire game and played the game they wanted to play. The defense was strong, the midfield play was efficient and the forwards finished when they had to. Sporting KC will host the Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Finals, November 23rd at Sporting Park. Sporting will look to advance to the MLS cup for the first time since 2004.

Students,media wait for Wiggins to excel
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Sports Illustrated. ESPN The Magazine, GQ. All feature Kansas to start the college basketball season. OK, they're featuring one player, but the letters K-A-N-S A-S stand across his chest.
Welcome to the 2013-2014 season, where fans and the media alike expect Andrew Wiggins to do something great. They're just not sure what it is.
After attending a practice this year, ESPN's Jeff Goodman questioned Wiggins' hype and quoted NBA scouts who weren't so sure about Wiggins' surethinking No.1 pick status.
thing no1 pick stats
CBS sports.com's college
basketball columnist Gary
Parrish wrote a column
anointing Wiggins as their
preseason pick for National
Player of the Year, and you can't
blame them for it.
Oh, and there's Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and GO.
The exhibition games are over. The season starts Friday against Louisiana Monroe.The real season starts Nov.12 against Duke in Chicago.
So here we are, on the cusp of the most anticipated Kansas basketball season in years and no one knows what they want out of the player they're most excited about. Sure, students and fans want a championship or a final four berth, but this isn't about the team in March. This is about an all-everything player in early November with who-knows-what expectations
It's so easy to want something great out of a player, but Andrew Wiggins isn't going to be a college Kevin Durant. He isn't going to score ga-ga points a game and shoot his team to success or failure. He's playing in a system that gets every player on the court involved, that gets the ball inside for high percentage shots.
Last season Ben McLemore led Kansas with 16.4 points per game. He did this shooting just over 50 percent from the field and 43 percent from the three. Those numbers are absurdly good — and don't forget his dunks, either.
There was Sports Illustrated. There was ESPN. Understandably, there wasn't any GQ. It's easy to forget how talented Mr. McLemore was.
Yet McLemore earned a reputation for not being assertive enough or disappearing at times. Expectations were even high for the team's best player last year.
The fact of the matter is Wiggins may not be a better college basketball player than McLemore. He certainly has a chance to be, but it's not certain he will be. Yes, they're two different players. McLemore thrived shooting the three while Wiggins is likely to be a slasher and attention grabber.
This isn't to discredit Wiggins at all. It's impossible to quantify his effect on the team and no one knows just what he'll do. But that's part of the excitement. There will be flashes of greatness and lulls of freshmanitis. It's only natural.
With a basketball season approaching, it's easy to ask,
"How good is he?"
Wiggins has been featured in GQ, Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine, USA Today and many newspaper and TV stations.

Despite media frenzy, Wiggins stays grounded

mgoodwin@kansan.com
The gold ink from the pen swirls over the glossy cover of another crisp copy of Sports Illustrated. Andrew Wiggins is signing autographs after a 9 a.m. open practice attended by more than 10,000 Kansas faithfuls.
The cover that he autographs at least 50 times features a photo of the freshman wedged directly between two of the most dominant players to ever play college basketball. "From Wilt...to Manning...to Wiggins" it reads.
Bill Self had no reservations when SI approached him with the story pitch, though he didn't know then what the cover would look like or how much it would help fuel the unimaginable hype.
"Maybe I should try to shelter him more, but I still think the best way to prepare him is to prepare him by having him live and go through it," Self said at Big 12 media day in Kansas City, Mo.
The hype is impossible to hide from at this point. Later in the day at the Sprint Center, reporters surrounded a table where Wiggins sat alongside three teammates.
Reporters and photographers discussed how to handle all of the questions coming at one time. Naadir Tharpe, Tarik Black and Perry Ellis all sat down at the table. The media was informed that Wiggins was busy doing an interview with ESPN, but would be along shortly.
After a few rounds of question, a man with a camera on his shoulder asked, "Andrew, we obviously hear about the hype with the program nationally, but what's the buzz like in Lawrence with the students?"
The man posed another question, again addressing Wiggins, who wasn't present.
The three players looked confused, before Tharpe finally answered, "Well, students love him, of course...I'm as excited that he's here just as much as the fans are."
That's when Tarick Black realized the reporter thought he was Wiggins.
Sports Illustrated isn't the only magazine to feature Wiggins. ESPN The Magazine and USA Today featured him on the cover of their college basketball
"Whoa, he's not here right now, my dude," Black said.

previews. The young star has also been featured in GQ, Slam and newspapers worldwide.
A reporter from the Canadian television station TSN interviewed Wiggins after the exhibition game against Pittsburg State. Wiggins is from a suburb of Toronto, and Canadians will be able to watch every Kansas game this season on the network.
"He hasn't asked for any of it," Self said, at the podium in front of the media at the Sprint Center. "If you talk to him he's about as humble and low-key of a guy that deflects attention as anybody I've ever been around. It's not fair, because he's not that. I don't even know of one player that I can think of that he's like. He's just Andrew."
Wiggins has shrugged off the comparisons for the most part, at least in front of the media.
He's still an 18-year-old whose favorite player is Kevin Durant, and though he's flattered by the comparisons to the players he's been mentioned with, he doesn't think he's earned it yet.
"Those are the best players in the world right now and I'm still in college." Wiggins said. "I think it's really unfair to compare me to someone of that caliber. Hopefully, one day I can be compared to

The most likely place to find Wiggins off the court is in his apartment playing Call of Duty and listening to Drake or Kendrick Lamar.
them, but I have a long way to go."
In one of Wiggins first official practices at Kansas, he drove the baseline and launched into the air with his head at rim level as he slammed the ball through with ease.
Junior point guard Naadir Tharpe said if his face wasn't in magazines and on the internet, it would be hard to tell he was the top-ranked player in the country coming out of high school.
on. He walks all the way to the showers and then turns back, like 'I forgot my ankle braces,' Tharpe said, laughing along with teammate Tarik Black.
Another day after practice, most of the team was cleaning up and getting ready to leave when Wiggins ambled over to take a shower.
"My man is about to get into the shower with his ankle braces
Wiggins wasn't expected to choose Kansas over Kentucky or Florida State by most media outlets.
Tharpe describes Wiggins as laid-back, goofy and even clumsy at times.
"That's just who he is," Tharpe said. "He doesn't try to show out, he's just always himself all the time."
"He can't live up to the hype. It's impossible ... But should we expect him to be great? Yes, we should."
BILL SELF
Kansas basketball coach

earlier. "I would just say there is a lot of pressure on him right now. He is under a microscope from the world that is bigger than anybody would think, bigger than he knows. Whatever he does will be magnified times a million, just because of the hype. Whatever he says, does, however he acts."
two of them could meet again in March for the Big 12 Championship game.
"When I came on my visit, it just kind of caught my heart." Wiggins said, while sitting on James Naismith Court during Kansas basketball Media Day. "This is where I felt I belong. The team is just one unit, no one is really left out. I felt more at home here than anywhere else."
But Kansas felt like the best fit for him. The question often asked by reporters is, "Why Kansas?" and the answer is always the same. The team felt like a unit. No one person is valued any more or any less by the rest of the group.
Back in Kansas City, the Big 12 preseason player of the year, Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart, and the freshman of the year, Wiggins, stand side-by-side.

"I know if it was me," Smart said later in the day, "don't just give it to me. At least make me earn it. All the hype, good for him. Congratulations to him, don't get me wrong. I'm not taking anything away from Andrew Wiggins, anything like that. He's a good player. I hope he does well."
The expectations that have been placed on Wiggins are nearly unprecedented in college basketball.

best players at the college level, intensifies among media members, autograph seekers and whoever else thinks he could be valuable to them.
There are times, after thirty minutes of questions, that Wiggins has grown quiet and limited answers to one or two words. But if any of the hype has worn him down, he hasn't made it obvious.
"It could wear him down," Self said. "All the great players deal with crap and all the great players deal with expectations, time demands and all that stuff. He's dealing with that at an earlier age than most. But it's also preparation too. He can't live up to the hype. its impossible...But should we expect him to be great? Yes, we should."
Self said he will begin to limit Wigings' media appearances.
As he sat in Allen Fieldhouse that morning in September, he contemplated what it would be like to avoid the hype.
"I don't mind it," Wiggins said.
"I If I had the choice to not do it, I might not, but I don't know."

Wiggins feels the weight of the expectations, but in the end he believes it will only strengthen him.
"There's pressure," Wiggins said, "but for me it's motivating, pressure. People give me big shoes to fill and I'm just doing my best to fill them."

KANSAN NEWS FOR WRITER
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Jayhawks lost more than just a game yesterday.
Ankle injury takes Langford out of game early on; Kansas can't fill hole

He gingerly limped off the court, and minutes later, he hopped to the locker room on one foot. Langford said he originally hurt the ankle in practice on Thursday. He did not notice it until Friday, when into yesterday's match, but said that he felt good going into the game.
Kansas coach Bill Self said he didn't know the condition of the injury. He said he didn't think it was broken, but the doctor would do an MRI tomorrow to assess the injury. Unfortunately, information could be more serious than the one that kept him out of practice all week.
"I don't think it's good." Self said.
"Right now he can't put any weight on it."
If there was ever a day Kansas needed Lending, it was yesterday. It would have been in hand on a day when there was not enough money to would have come in handy on a day when there was not enough money to come in handy from other players.

That change starts with the Jayhawks' own defense, much maligned this season by coach Bill Self, which has taken a turn for the better under new point guard Elijah Johnson.
"We'll talk about how poorly we played this week." Self said, "but we actually guarded better the last two games."
TIM DWYER
Johnson, who Self has previously said has played the best point guard defense the team has had this year, was the only Jayhawk to play double figure minutes (he played 26) and finish with zero turnovers.
The Jayhawks finished with 24 turnovers, shot 28.6 percent from three and 43.6 percent from the field, had 26 personal fouls and a flagrant one by Marcus Morris.
"That was definitely a toughness win," Tyrel Reed said. "Missouri's a great team. Hasn't lost at home this year."
Tough, maybe, Ugly, definitely.
But the Jayhawks won. In spite of the turnovers, and in spite of nearly blowing a 15-point lead in the final four minutes, Kansas won.
Judging by the last two games, the Jayhawks have figured out that even when their shots aren't falling they still have to play defense. Before the Texas A&M game, Kansas had shot worse than 50 percent four times in conference play: two were losses, to Texas and Kansas State, and two were victories, by five points or less, to teams with losing records in Big 12 play.
But they won.
"If this was an artistic, pretty game," Self said, "then it probably wouldn't benefit us very much."
There was an obvious blueprint to beating the Jayhawks, and it started with stifling their offense. But in the last two games, Kansas has shot worse than 50 percent against two ranked teams and has come away with victories in each.
"I don't want to take full credit it for it," Johnson said. "I just feel like it kind of rile people up, and say some things that they're not used to hearing to make them want to play."
It was evident early on, when he was subbed out with a 9-4 lead. The Tigers promptly went on a 10-2 run, which ended on Johnson's first possession back in the game.
Kansas still has one major flaw left unresolved; the Jayhawks' penchant for stupid fouls flared up again in Missouri. Marcus Morris, who finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds, picked up a flagrant foul late in the second half that helped ignite Missouri's late run. Thomas Robinson, who finished with 15 and 13, started jawing with the Tigers after a basket and foul before Johnson got in his face and calmed him down.
"That's my point guard," Robinson said, "coming in and calming me down."
Looks like Johnson will be every Jayhawks' point guard for the rest of the year.
Johnson's defense has earned him a late-in-the-season promotion to the starting spot, and he said he's changing the mentality of the team
Johnson said he was surprised the team could win in spite of turning the ball over so many times, but that they couldn't afford to keep doing it.
"Every team's not Missouri" he said, "so we've got to take care of the ball."

It didn't seem like coach speak because at the time, the Jayhawks faced more question marks than any Kansas team in recent memory. Freshmen Jamari Traylor and Ben McLemore were ruled ineligible for the season and a so-so recruiting year by Kansas standards left the team without its usual deep pool of talent to draw from.
That's been it though — at least for now — and the outright conference title was clinched Monday night against Oklahoma State.
They rattled off 10 straight victories after the Davidson game with a bump in the road at Iowa State on Jan. 28 and a tough loss at Missouri a week later.
A Dec. 19 loss to Davidson in Kansas City raised more doubts about an eighth straight Big 12 championship and Self said that heading into Christmas, he and his players didn't really like each other. He even questioned if the players liked one another.
"It feels amazing because a lot of

IKORY CARPENTER
Way back in October, coach Bill Self straddled a motorcycle at center court in Allen Fieldhouse in front of a packed house for Late Night in the Phog. He gave a short cookie-cutter speech about the off-season, thanked the fans for showing up and supporting the team, and rode off the court with one piece of advice: Enjoy the ride.
people didn't think we would be this good this year," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said Monday night. "I think if you asked us at the beginning of the year, our goal is to always win the Big 12 Championship."
Thomas Robinson said he didn't want the run of seven straight conference titles to end on his watch and he had plenty of smiles after continuing the streak.
"We got eight baby, we got eight," Robinson said on Monday. "This one feels good, too."
The trophy was presented to the team in the visitors' locker room Monday night and it will probably make another appearance for senior night festivities Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse.
"The one thing about our players is, just because the roster changes, the expectations don't," Self said. "And they committed to it. They've amazed me, to be real candid."
Coach Bill Self thought his team would relax and play loose knowing the Wildcats had lost earlier in the day. If Kansas State had won, Self said the matchup with Baylor would have been equivalent to an NCAA Tournament game because a loss would have ended Kansas' title streak.
"I'm not going to ever apologize for winning a league championship," Self said. "I'm not happy. I'm a lot happier than I would be if it was different and we finished second."
The Cowboys defeated Kansas State 76-70 earlier Saturday, and Kansas entered its tilt with Baylor knowing that it had already secured at least a share of the conference title.
2013
Withey said Kansas briefly talked about already clinching a share of the championship in the locker room before the game, which might have affected the Jayhawks' focus without them realizing it.
WACO, TEXAS - Oklahoma State, the origin of Kansas' threegame losing streak that nearly cost the jayhawks a share of the conference title, proved to be the reason Kansas is a Big 12 champion for the ninth straight time.
GEOFFERY CALVERT
A share was all the Jayhawks got, as Baylor controlled most of the game in an 81-58 shellacking of Kansas.
"It doesn't feel like we won it at all, really," senior center Jerry Withey said. "We tied with K-State and it's cool to win it obviously. Nine in a row is huge. It just stinks to lose."
When the game started though
"I wasn't expecting him to shoot threes like that," Withey said. "I know Cory pretty well because I played overseas with him. I never saw that part of him. He played great."
The run was fitting, because McLemore led Kansas with 23 points, and Ellis was second with 12. But whereas Jefferson and Jackson received help from their supporting cast, McLemore and Ellis got little help from theirs.
Midway through the second half, a Jefferson jumper gave Baylor a 17-point lead. Then, McLemore and freshman forward Perry Ellis scored 11 straight points to slice the margin to 61-55, the closest the game had been in almost 12 minutes.
Senior guard Elijah Johnson was
Jefferson and Pierre Jackson led Baylor with identical 11-13 shooting nights. Jackson had 28 points, and Jefferson had 25, including two one-handed slams over Withey in the first half. He also displayed a long-range shooting touch no one had seen before.
When Baylor came back and tied it about 40 seconds later on a Cory Jefferson jumper, Kansas never led again.
it briefly looked like Kansas might play cohesively enough to grab an outright conference title. Freshman guard Ben McLemore scored the game's first points on a layup five seconds into the game.
The junior forward made his first career 3-pointer midway through the first half and then made another shortly before halftime. He made his third 3-pointer early in the second half.
the only other Jayhawk in double figures, finishing with 10 points. Freshman center Isaiah Austin and senior guard A.J. Walton complemented Jackson and Jefferson with 11 and 12 points, respectively.
points again.
"That was the whole theme of the *night*. Withey said. "I felt like every *time* we were doing something good they were just doing something better."
After Baylor coach Scott Drew called timeout with his team's lead cut to six, the Bears responded with a 9-0 run from four different players. The lead never dipped below 13 points again.
jackson closed out the scoring with a breakaway layup with one minute left and Baylor outscored Kansas 12-0 in transition. The 23-point loss was Kansas' worst defeat since losing by 25 points to Texas in 2006.
Jefferson and Jackson's combined 53 points were identical to the 53 scored by Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart and Markel Brown on 17-34 shooting in the Cowboys' victory over Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse in early February.
Self said the two Bears' performances might have been more impressive than Oklahoma State's performance in Lawrence because of Jackson and Jefferson's efficiency shooting the ball.
"The They (Brown and Smart) were good, too, but they didn't go 22-26." Self said. "Cory's performance wasn't a surprise because you knew he's a good player and he could score. The way he scored was kind of a surprise."

Freshman guard Frank Mason acts as a backup point guard this season. Coach Bill Self described Mason as a "pit bull."
Freshman recruits bring depth, versatility to team
BRIAN HILLIX
bhillix@kansan.com
This year's recruiting class features Andrew Wiggins, the top recruit in the country; Joel Embid, a seven-footer from Cameroon; and McDonald's All-American Wayne Selden. Just don't overlook the other players that round out the second-best recruiting class in the nation, according to ESPN.
Freshman guards Conner Frankamp, Brannen Greene and Frank Mason provide depth to the guard position that Kansas lacked last season. Each player averaged more than 25 points per game their senior years in high school and each brings different skills to the program.
Now the owner of the Wichita City League scoring record, Frankamp is a 6-foot point guard known for putting up points in a hurry. Ranked No. 34 overall by Rivals.com, Frankamp averaged more than 31 points per game in his senior season at Wichita North High School highlighted by a 52 percent three-point field goal percentage.
"If there's somebody who shoots

it better, I'd like to see it." Self said,
"because he can shoot it maybe as well as anyone we have had here."
Mason said his primary responsibilities at Kansas are to "be a pit bull on the ball, guard anyone and lead the team."
"I feel like I was pretty accurate in high school," Frankamp said. "I just got to bring that to the college level."
"He's big," Self said. "He's 6-foot-7 with great range and vision and good ball skills."
Also an accurate shooter, 6 foot- 7-inch Greene brings an all-around game to the squad along with the unusual combination of size and long-range shooting. He averaged 27 points, nine rebounds, six assists and two steals per game to go along with a 91 percent free throw percentage.
Known for his gritty defense and ball-handling abilities, Mason is a physical guard capable of driving the lane and knocking down the open three. He averaged more than 27 points per game his senior year.
perceptions. Greene describes himself as primarily a shooter, but capable of contributing in multiple ways. He said he is comfortable playing as a shooting guard or small forward.
"I handle the ball pretty well for my height," Greene said. "I'm a versatile player."
Mason, ranked No. 76 according to Rivals.com, will likely see the most playing time of this threesome, acting as the backup point guard to junior Naadir Tharpe.
"There is no question Frank can push Naadir and Naadir knows that," Self said. "Frank is talented, he's tough and he's a pit bull, probably as tough as anybody we have."
Greene was ranked No.29 in the
nation according to Rivals.com. Self said he would be a headliner in any other recruiting class.
You may not see these players on the court a lot this season, but expect to hear their names often throughout their Kansas careers.

WHAT'S THE WORD?
WHAT ARE THE EXPERTS SAYING?
"Simply put, Wiggins isn't a media-created sensation. He really is a unique talent." Gary Parris
Gary Parrish CBS SPORTS
"Kansas fans, be patient. Considering Self's history, there's no reason to believe it won't pay off in the end."
"Kansas has three potential top-10 picks in Andrew Wiggins, Wayne Selden and Joel Embiid. Plus, some solid veterans in Perry Ellis, Naadir Tharpe and transfer Tarik Black.I saw the Jayhawks practice in Lawrence, Kan., last week, and I'm convinced that they'll be the [Kentucky] Wildcats' biggest threat in the hunt for the national title."
Jason King ESPN
—Myron Medcalf ESPN
"Because of Andrew Wiggins' versatility, I am putting the Jayhawks in the top 10 [backcourts]. Naadir Tharpe will log more minutes and should excel with greater responsibility. Wayne Selden Jr. and Conner Frankamp are other diaper dandies to watch."
"For someone who has only been playing for a year and a half, Embiid knows how to operate in the post, in terms of getting position and turning to the basket. While some might see that as effective training, Embiid is actually self-taught when it comes to back-to-the-basket moves."
Dick Vitale ESPN
— Jeff Borzello CBS SPORTS
C. J. Moore BLEACHER REPORT
"The bigger question surrounding the Jayhawks should be who is going to emerge as KU's other star. Bill Self's offense has traditionally either been extremely balanced or had two players dominate the scoring. Only once in Self's 10 seasons at KU has someone averaged more than 20 points per game-Wayne Simien in 2005and even that season, Keith Langford averaged 14.1."
"Not an explosive athlete, Frankamp just finds a way to get things done. He is a big time scorer on the perimeter as he can get hot in a hurry from three, and then also has enough to him off the dribble to keep defenders honest. His savvy with the basketball is impressive and allows him to create despite not being super explosive or athletic."
"Expectations are enormous every year for Kansas, where lottery picks replace lottery picks and where the word rebuilding is left to, ahem, other Big 12 powers. But Self knows what he has on his roster; his request for fans' patience comes embedded with the knowledge that the Jayhawks could be downright nasty next February and March."
Sports Illustrated
"While much of the attention this coming season will fall on [the] shoulders of freshman Andrew Wiggins, the nation's No.1 recruit in 2013, Self has a cadre of outstanding young talent. Perry Ellis, a 6-foot-8 sophomore forward, should pick up where he left off last season, making the Big 12 all-tournament team.And though freshmen Wayne Selden and Joel Embiid may not be on a one-and-done path, few expect them to be at Kansas all four seasons. They are that talented."

FRESHMAN
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Embiid emulates All-Star's style
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
There's a video that Kansas freshman Joel Embid owns and no matter how many times he watches he's still amazed.
It's not a thriller or an Oscar-winner - although the video's star has certainly earned his fair share of awards. It's footage of NBA All-Star center Hakeem Olajuwon's playing days, and Embiid can't look away.
You'll see him watching it while eating lunch at the Underground, or after practice, to remind himself how much harder he needs to work.
Embiid's eyes never stray from the Houston legend. He's studying how Olajuwon sets his feet in the paint, how he dips his shoulder and where he places the ball before attacking the rim. He focuses on his hero blocking shots from all angles. And, of course, he's breaking down Olajuwon's patented "Dream Shake," rewinding the clip to see how it's done.
"I watch it almost every night," Embiid said. "I watch all of his moves. I'm learning it."
It's no surprise when coaches and scouts alike compare Embid to his idol. Ask him to think of basketball and he conjures images of Olajuwon bullying his way to the rim.
Ask coach Bill Self what he sees in Embid and the answer won't be too far off.
"Watch Joel play and you'll say he's got unbelievable feet," Self said at the start of the season. "He reminds me of Olajuwon early in his career. I'm not saying that he's Olajuwon at all, but there are similarities."
More similarities than you'd think.
Neither Olajuwon nor Embiid touched a basketball before the age of 15. Both were preoccupied with soccer as kids, although Embiid soon moved onto volleyball - the national sport of his native Cameroon.
Yet, between running drills and scrimmaging, Embiid would palm the volleyball, turn and fire shots at the rim that hung in the practice gym. His field goal percentage might not have gotten him looks from local teams, but his 7-foot frame sure did. At 16 years old, coaches sure made Embiid had the
right ball to shoot with.
This is how Olajuwon entered his life.
"When I first started playing basketball, my first coach gave me that video to watch." Embid said.
Embid saw the life he could have. He saw the packed arenas, high-flying athletes and the stardom and adoration they received. More than anything, Embid saw an African like himself creating a roadmap to bring others to the United States through basketball.
through basketball.
That map has brought him to Kansas, where Embiid is closer to reaching his dream than ever. NBA draft boards have already projected him as a lottery pick in the 2014 class. While he's still a Jayhawk, Bill Self has a way, and a person, to make it happen.
make it happen.
"Jojo has a lot of talent," senior transfer Tarik Black said. "Jojo can be as good as he wants to be. It's my job to help him mature in his game, understand a couple of things, and just help him with the little things on the court to make him that much better of a player."
much better as a physicist.
As Black helps to mature Embiid's game, Embiid is quickly learning about the increased physicality at the college level. As the freshman puts it, he doesn't like to bang. It's up to Black to teach him how.
"He's got a long way to go from a strength and toughness standpoint," Self said. "But he moves in a way that very few big guys can."
It's not just Black who Embidid credits with helping to expedite his growth. It's the entire crew of bigs at Kansas, and he's watching them with the same intensity that he studies Olaiuwon.
It's the culture of developing big men that Self created which has brought Embid to Lawrence. It's names like Jeff Withey, Thomas Robinson, the Morris Twins and Cole Aldrich that he hopes to have his mentioned with.
More than anything, it's the video of Olajuwon and the steps Embid must take to come close to his level.
"That's why Kansas is such a good place for me," Embiid said. "They have Perry Ellis, Tarik Black, Jamari Traylor, Landen Lucas. I get to play against them every practice. I'll get better."

CHEMISTRY
when Black graduated in three years and announced his plans to transfer in his final year of eligibility, coach Bill Self knew he would be a valuable asset to what would be a young group of forwards.
Black approaches season with confidence, leadership
onchorggng Senior forward Tarik Black transferred to Kansas after three seasons at Memphis, where he averaged 8.1 points and 4.8 rebounds per game last season. Black is an athletic 6-foot-9-inch center who struggled to live up to high expectations at Memphis.
"When coach Self recruited me he told me I don't care if you're new to the program or not, you're going to have to come in and be a leader for me." Black said.
Self needed a leader and Black welcomed the chance to fulfill his dreams of playing on college basketball's biggest stage. It was a perfect fit.
"I've always been kind of like a subtle guy, not too extravagant, not too flamboyant, but at the same time I've always liked being a
MAX GOODWIN mggoodwin@kansan.com
The most experienced player on the Kansas roster has yet to play an official game for the Jayhawks.
“Being able to be out there with my teammates, we laugh so much, we have fun together,” Black said. “This thing is bigger than basketball to us. We're family. We don't say that for no reason, we really are a family. All of the accolades, that will come, just how hard we work and the talent we have, we'll put things together and put all of this stuff in coach Self's hands.”
One of Black's most important jobs in his new family is being a role model for freshman center Joel Embid, carrying the load at center while Embid continues to develop his name.
Black knows how important this season could be for him. Not only is it his last opportunity to play on a big stage, but it is his final season to prove himself as an NBA talent.
high-caliber person and that's how Kansas functions," Black said on the day before his first appearance as a Jayhawk. "Their humbleness, but also their expectancy of greatness. Put that together and it's the perfect place for me," Black said.
The irony for him, however, is the relief he feels in making the adjustment to Kansas, after leaving his hometown of Memphis.

"Every time Joel hits him, he lets him know that's what you need to be doing, good job," Self said. "I don't know if Joel says that to Tarik when Tarik hits him, but certainly Tarik likes to see a guy compete against him like that."

There is no shortcut to building team chemistry. But it starts in practice, and Black is focused on improving his teammates and the way they play together.
He said Self hasn't cut them any slack as they've adjusted and learned the system.
"Practice is tough, but we're preparing to be great." Black said. "We don't want to fall short."
"He's a man," Embid said. "I'm getting better play against him."

Tough schedule, young team disadvantage Jayhawks
The ceiling for this Kansas team is undoubtedly high for a variety of reasons. However, with five new starters and a handful of freshmen receiving substantial minutes, the Jayhawks could struggle at times this season. Coach Bill Self looked at the program's recent success to address the issue.
"We have had some pretty good teams," Self said. "You stop and think about the last seven years, I think our teams have averaged 33 wins a year."
But this season is different from previous years. Typically, Kansas relies heavily on veterans and plays a non-conference schedule that is by no means easy, but isn't the most difficult either.
Taking a glance at this year's team and schedule, you will discover that an extremely young squad is taking on one of the toughest — if not the toughest — schedules in the country.
"If this team got to 33 wins, it would be an unbelievable year considering how difficult the
V
schedule is," Self said.
For comparison, the team that won the national championship in 2008 won 37 games, while last year's senior-led squad won 31 games.
Growing pains will surely show for this young team, but how obvious they are will tell a lot. Here's a look at what you can expect its season if the team reaches its ceiling, and what to expect if it plays to its floor. Of course, the actual results will likely fall in the middle, but anything is possible.

BEST CASE SCENARIO
Non-conference:
The team gains chemistry right away and the freshmen adjust to the college game quickly as the Jayhawks head into the conference schedule with just one loss — probably against Duke or Florida. Heading in as the favorite, the team sweeps the Battle 4 Atlantis and pulls off a huge road win against Colorado. The Jayhawks either defeat Duke in a battle of the top two incoming recruits: Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker, or squeak by a ranked Florida team in Gainesville.
Conference:
Kansas wins 16 conference games and drops only two. The lajayhaws restore order and win every game at Allen Fieldhouse. They beat the Oklahoma State Cowboys by 20 at home to get revenge for last season. The team wins every shootout it plays.
Big 12 Tournament:
Isaiah Austin form the league's top post du. Hilton Magic returns to Iowa State as returners Melvin Ejim and Georges Niang lead the way, along with Division I transfer DeAndre Kane. Kansas loses to each team on the road.
Kansas is certainly capable of beating any team at home or away, but a couple slip-ups are inevitable. They will occur against either Oklahoma State, Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas State or Oklahoma.
The Jayhawks win the Big 12 Tournament for the second consecutive year and back up their regular season conference championship in impressive fashion, beating the Cowboys in the championship game.
NCAA Tournament:
Marcus Smart, voted the preseason Blue Ribbon National Player of the Year, shows why he earned the distinction. Markel Brown and Le'Bryan Nash each average more than 12 points per game. The Cowboys sweep the series as they beat the Jayhawks on their home floor a second consecutive year.
throw in a road loss in which the team struggles while the other team thrives off its home crowd and plays its best game of the season - see the Baylor game last season. Kansas loses five conference games for the first time in the Bill Self era.
The layhawks win the NCAA National Championship because of their depth. Nine players score in double digits in a game during the tournament. A top seed or two lose early on and help ease the road to the final game.
WORST CASE SCENARIO
Non-conference:
As some predicted in the preseason, the Oklahoma State Cowboys dethrone the Jayhawks.
Florida and Colorado give the Jayhawks a lot of trouble on the road and they fall behind early and can't recover. Duke wins the matchup in Chicago and leaves Kansas winless in the Champion's Classic. The Tennessee Volunteers, ranked just outside the Top 25, defeat the Jayhawkes in the championship of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
NCAA Tournament
Kansas loses in the early rounds to a team catching fire late in the season. The other team sinks 15 three-pointers while the Jayhawks make just three.
New Mexico, ranked 23 in the preseason Associated Press Poll, gives the Jayhawks their second mid season loss at the Sprint Center in the last three years. Georgetown finds a way to edge the Jayhawks at home. Kansas will head into Big 12 play with six losses.
Conference:
The Jayhawks' streak of nine consecutive regular season titles will be snapped.
Kansas takes second place, but gets a strong push from Baylor and Iowa State. Cory Jefferson and
As the two seed, Kansas loses in the semifinals to either Iowa State or Baylor.

Last season, Kansas State exceeded expectations and tied for the conference title in coach Bruce Weber's first year in Manhattan. To have another successful season, K-State has to overcome the losses of Rodney McGruder to graduation and Angel Rodriguez, who decided to transfer after the end of last season.
McGruder, the leader of last year's squad, and Rodriguez were the Wildcat's two leading scorers. McGruder averaged 15.6 points per
game and Rodriguez averaged 11.4 points per game, while no other players averaged double-figures in points.
Senior Will Spradling will have to take on more of a leadership role. Spradling is a three-year starter from Overland Park. Spradling, junior Thomas Gipson and freshman Jevon Thomas, competed internationally over the summer.
K-state has a class of five freshman including guards Marcus Fos
ter, Nigel Johnson and Thomas, and forwards Wesley Iwunda and Jack Karapetyan. Foster was the 40th ranked in his position by Rivals. com and averaged 18.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists in high school. He was the Texas 3A Player of the Year his senior year of high school in Wichita Falls.
K-State was picked to tie for fifth in the Big 12 with Oklahoma by the coaches in the Big 12 preseason poll.

The Iowa State Cyclones finished fourth in the conference last season with an 11-7 Big 12 record. It was their second consecutive season with double-digit conference wins.
HOME: Jan. 29 8p.m.
AWAY: Jan 13 8 p.m.
The Jayhawks played in two overtime wins against Iowa State last season. In the first matchup at Allen Fieldhouse, Ben McLemore hit a banked 3-pointer as time expired to send the game into overtime, where the Jayhawks won 97-89. The away game was an all-time classic. Elijah Johnson scored a career high 39 points — eight of which were in the last 29 seconds. The Jayhawks beat down Iowa State 108-96 in overtime.
Last season, the Cyclones had a deep, senior-led team and the key to Iowa State's success was their three-point shooting. Iowa State led the NCAA in 3-point field goals attempted and made.
The Cyclones played two tough games against the Jayhawks, and will be looking for their first win against Kansas since 2012.
Departing senior Tyrus McGee was a Jayhawk killer last season. In both games against Kansas,McGee combined for 33 points and 9-16 from 3-point land.
This season, Iowa State will start three new guards, but keep its two big men: Melvin Ejim and Georges Niang. Also, the Cyclones add four junior college players and one transfer.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are primed and ready to give Andrew Wiggins and the rest of the Kansas Jayhawks a run for their money in their run for a 10th straight Big 12 title. The Cowboys are ranked 8th in the pre-season AP poll. Sophomore point guard Marcus Smart is coming off of an AP All-American season and is hungry to lead Oklahoma State to its first Big 12 title since 2004. Smart is not buying into the Andrew Wiggins hype, like the rest of the country is.
"A lot of people are saying he's [Wiggins] the best player in college basketball," Smart said at the Big 12 media days. "I'm saying how can you be the best player if it's something you haven't even played in?"
Smart averaged 15.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists in his freshman season. He didn't enter the NBA draft like most had thought he would and decided to come back to Stillwater for his sophomore year.
"You can only go to college and be a college athlete once," Smart said. "College is a great experience. This is where you have fun. This is where you find yourself as a young man and grow up into an adult before you enter the real world."
Smart may be the Andrew Wiggins of Oklahoma State, but just like Wiggins, he has a strong supporting cast. Smart is also not the only NBA-ready Cowboy coming back for another shot at the Big 12 title. Senior guard Market Brown and junior guard Le'Bryan Nash are back for one more season at Gallagher-Iba as well. The Cowboys will rely on junior forward Gary Gaskins, who transferred from Brevard Community College, to provide stability at the center position. Before Gaskins, the Cowboys lacked frontcourt depth while having an influx of talent at the guard and wing spots. Only time will tell if Smart and the rest of the Cowboys can stop Kansas from winning their 10th straight Big 12 title.

The 2012-13 Oklahoma Sooners made it to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2009. The Sooners are coming into the 2013-14 season with higher expectations than last year. They know that the Big 12 is deep, but they feel that they are headed in the right direction. The 2012-13 season ended poorly for the Sooners. TCU beat OU for the Horned Frogs second ever Big 12 victory and the Sooners blew a 12-point lead to Iowa State in Big 12 tournament play.

The Sooners will be relying on sophomore guard Je'Lon Hornbreak to be a more aggressive scorer this season. Oklahoma had high expectations for Hornbreak last season, but he failed to meet them — the freshman only averaged 5.6 points per game. Ryan Spangler is a 6-foot-8 sophomore transfer from Gonzaga. Spangler will likely be the starting center for the Sooners and is bringing a lot of experience. Spangler has large shoes to fill with the departure of Romero Osby. Osby was a first-team All-Big 12 center and was taken 51st overall in this year's NBA draft.

Hield is the one player on the squad that can fill the void left by Osby. The Sooners are projected to finish 5th in the Big 12 this season.

Now, junior Amric Fields, coming off a torn ACL last season, will have to hope his rehabilitation was successful as he steps into a starting role. Freshman Hudson Price and senior Jarvis Ray will likely fill out the rest of the starting lineup.
This is a team whose wins will come through tough defense and forcing mistakes. Offensively, the team represented one of the worst offenses in Division I. Shepherd and Price will do their best to spark that offense, but it remains a work in progress.
TCU probably will not be a threat to Kansas in their matchups this year if Kansas enters the games with the right mentality. But the Horned Frogs should still improve upon their two conference wins last season.

Last season, Texas had the youngest roster in all of college basketball. This year it continues to be young, as it thought last year as a transition season to cultivate younger players into legitimate rotation players down the road. However, that took a 180-turn, when three of Texas' players decided to transfer shortly after the season.
Texas also lost Myck Kabongo to the NBA and blossoming forward, loannis Papetrou played so well in the U-20 European Championship for Greece that he ended up signing a deal with a Euroleague team.
Texas struggled mightily to score last season especially from the perimeter and really the only
players that can create its own shot and spark some adequate offense is its point guard Javan Felix. That spells trouble as he shot a wretched 25.5 percent from threepoint range last season.
team as his recruiting has dwindled, as has his roster. Barnes has built Texas into something special, but you could see his name appear on the hot seat as the season drags on slowly and painfully for the Longhorns.
It can hope for a huge step forward from former blue-chip recruit Cameron Ridley, who flashed some down low ability last season, but never amounted to anything noteworthy. Demarcus Holland, the other guard, has flashed ability to drive to the hoop, but his shooting woes have caused defenses to sag back in the paint daring the Longhorns to shoot. Other than that, Texas is going to struggle to get the ball in the hoop.
texas has had a rough period where the top-recruits have denied Texas causing them to down spiral into a much less respectable program. Losing four of five sophomores from last year's team won't help. Texas shouldn't find rock bottom in the Big 12 with TCU, West Virginia and Tech still around, but things will get awfully rocky in Austin come February and March.

TEXAS TECH VS KU KANSAS HOME: March 5 at 7 p.m. AWAY: Feb.18 at 7 p.m.
The legendary coach led the Red Raiders to four straight 20-plus win seasons during his 8-year stint before stepping down and passing the coaching duties on to his son, Pat Knight, in 2008. Since then, things haven't been so pretty for Raider Basketball, and those years of success seem far back in the rearview mirror.
Times have changed in Lubbock. The Red Raiders have won just four Big 12 games the past two seasons under Billy Gillispie and interim coach Chris Walker.
But new coach Tubby Smith certainly has the wherewithal to turn the ship around. He won a national title at Kentucky in 1998 and made 17 NCAA tournament appearances in 22 seasons, and there are a few pieces he can play with this year.
The Raiders return four starters from last year's team, including junior Jordan Tolbert and last year's leader score, senior Jaye Crockett. Tubby Smith also added junior point guard Robert Turner from New Mexico Junior College, and highly recruited high school power forward
The Raiders did surprise in the Big 12 Tournament, beating West Virginia 71-69, but their storybook post-season run came to a screeching halt with a 91-63 defeat at the hands of Kansas.
of the season.
texas Tech needs to improve its offensive output significantly if it wants to be a player in the Big 12. There should be improvement, which may lead to two or three more conference wins, but as Tubby Smith gets a chance to stockpile a few recruiting classes of his own, Tech could return to Bob Knight-form in the next three or four years.
Texas Tech finished the 2012-2013 season at 11-20 and 3-15 in conference play, just one game ahead of last placed TCU.
Sophomore Dusty Hannahs gives Tech a threat from behind the arc. He finished 13th in the Big 12 last year in 3-pointers, hitting about 36 percent of his attempts.
After starting the season, 4-0, averaging over 85 points a game, Tech lost four of its next five. The team had great trouble putting the ball in the basket; it would only eclipse the 80 point mark in a victory one more time the rest of the season with an 85-74 score against North Carolina A&T.
Kansas should handle this game at home, just from an overwhelming advantage in talent and depth, but Lubbock is far from a sure thing. Bill Self is just 2-3 at the United Spirit Arena, but on the bright side, those two wins have come in the past two years.
But the Red Raiders rebounded with two wins before Big 12 play to finish the non-conference slate at 7-4.

Harris led the Mountaineers in scoring last season with 9.8 points per game, while Staten led the team in assists with 3.3 per game.
While West Virginia should see more consistency with its lineup this year, it's still unlikely to make any major Big 12 championship run.
Coach Bob Huggins had a total of 14 different starting lineups last year with one player who truly stayed consistent in Deniz Kilici, who graduated last year. Still, West Virginia has some talent returning, particularly in junior point guard Juwan Staten and sophomore guard Eron Harris.
With seven new scholarship players on the roster, the West Virginia Mountaineers will have a number of fresh faces contributing to the team this season.

NEW SEASON, NEW FACES
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Jayhawks look for new identity
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
At the start of the new season, the women's basketball team has to find its identity without departed players — especially at the point guard position. Angel Goodrich, the point guard and leader of the teams that made back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances, has left a large hole to fill.
Sophomore guard Lamaria Cole has been handed the reins to the starting point guard position this season. Cole, who made appearances in eight games last year, was often turnover prone in her limited minutes last season.
In the two exhibitions games the Jayhawks have played in, Cole has shown improvement and quickness. Against Pittsburg State, Cole scored 12 points, dished out three assists and committed three turnovers. She had a quieter game against Emporia State, but had four assists to one turnover that afternoon.
After the game against Pittsburg
State, Cole said she credits watching Goodrich play last season.
"Last year I didn't play under control at all." Cole said "After watching Angel play and seeing how she controls the ball, I learned a lot from her."
Backup senior guard CeCe Harper gives the Jayhawks another option at the point guard position. Against Emporia State, she scored 15 points and had two assists while running the offense for much of the second half. From the point guard position, she also had the unique statistic by gathering four offensive rebounds.
rebounds Both players need to continue improving their ball-handling skills if they want to replace Goodrich's production. Goodrich left as the school's all-time leader in assists with 771, while breaking the 1,000-point scoring mark. Goodrich was picked by the Tulsa Shock in the WNBA draft.
To continue their recent run of success, the Jayhawks also need to find a way to replace the production of fellow graduated players Monica
Engelman and Carolyn Davis, who both also scored more than 1,000 career points. Davis also reached the milestone of grabbing over 700 rebounds.
The team lacks experience overall after losing the three starting seniors from last season. Junior forward Chelsea Gardner and junior guard Natalie Knight are the only two consistent starters from last season.
Kansas has also added a five new freshman. The freshman will likely see limited minutes as they continue to figure out the college game. Only two freshmen, Dakota Gonzalez and Jada Brown, saw minutes in the Emporia State exhibition game. Neither scored a point, and they combined for three rebounds and one assist.
In the preseason poll, Kansas was picked to finish seventh in the 10-team league. The Jayhawks open the season Sunday at home against Oral Roberts at 2 p.m. on Nov. 10.

Senior point guard Odyssey Sims has been named to the preseason Wooden Award List for the third straight season, and to the AP All American team last season.
The Lady Bears will host first round games in the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. Baylor won both their games at home last season and have aspirations to do the same this March. "I am very pleased that we were selected to host games in the 2014 NCAA Women's Basketball

Championships. It is a tribute to our fans, our team and administration that we were chosen to host again. Both times we've hosted our fans have been very supportive and I know that has a bearing on selections." coach Kim Mulkey said in a press release.
Baylor may not have the dominant player Griner was anymore, but they still have an experienced nucleus surrounded by young talent and the will to win. The Lady Bears have been at the forefront of Women's College Basketball for years now and plan to stay on top in the 2013-14 season.

Iowa State has added four top-notch freshmen who will look to make an impact within the next two years. Jadda Buckley is probably the best recruiting coming in; she is ranked in top 50 in the class of 2013. She was a two-time first-team all-state selection, and she averaged 14 points per game. Seanna Johnson, is another freshman looking to make an impact. She is a three-time state champion in Minn., and she was named Class 3A basketball player of the year twice in Minn.
The Iowa State Women's basketball team looks to rebuild after losing two of its three top scorers from last season due to graduation. They will have to rely on junior guard Nikki Moody who has started for the Lady Cyclones the past two seasons. Last season, Moody averaged almost seven and a half assists, leading the Big 12 and ranking third nationally. The Lady Cyclones were able to make the NCAA tournament last season as the five seed in the Spokane bracket. They defeated 12-seed Gonzaga in the Round of 64 before losing to fourth-seeded Georgia in the next round.
Last season, the Lady Cyclones defeated Kansas in both regular season games. This year they look to continue that. It is unsure how much the loss of their top scorers from last season will affect them this season. They are a good team and could possibly win the Big 12 title.

In the preseason, the Wildcats defeated the Washburn Ichabods easily, but struggled a little more with the Sea Wolves of the University of Alaska Anchorage. The team is easily transitioning into the new season, despite only bringing back five women from last season's WNIT semifinalist team. Six freshmen, who can hopefully impact the team very early, will join the returning five.
The Kansas State University women's basketball team's season starts on Friday, and they look to defy the odds. At the beginning of October, the team was named ninth in the Big 12 by the coaches, which is a ranking they hope to beat by the end of the season.
One such freshman is guard Leticia Romero. Romero, a Spain native, scored in double figures for both of the Wildcats' preseason games. She even led the team in scoring against the University of Alaska Anchorage.
The team hopes to continue coach Deb Patterson's streak of making the postseason every year for the past eleven seasons, despite starting the season low in Big 12.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS
ayhawks look to improve on recent success
EVAN DUNBAR
edunbar@kansan.com
Back-to-back Sweet Sixteens. When you hear this phrase you immediately think of Kansas basketball — but usually the men, not the women.
But that is exactly what coach Bonnie Henrickson and the Jayhawks women's basketball team have accomplished the past two seasons — two deep postseason runs filled with upsets over top-notch programs. Because of the success of the past two seasons, expectations are at a level that has not been seen at Kansas since before Henrickson took over the program in 2004. This season, Kansas adds five new players to the roster.
It is the seven veterans that Kansas will have to rely on in the early part of this season if the Jayhawks want to be successful.

The competition in nonconference play and the Big 12 will be much tougher than these two exhibitions, and it seems that as Gardner goes, so will the Jayhawks this season.

Last season the Cowgirls were successful with an experienced lineup, but have lost three main contributors. With the addition of several new freshmen, the young Cowgirls squad will look to senior
point guard Tiffany Bias and junior forward Liz Donohoe to lead the team. The youth didn't keep them from a No. 21 ranking in the Associated Press preseason poll.
Last season, Bias - who is from Andover, Kan. - was selected as an All-American honorable mention by the Associated Press, and was a second-team All-Big 12 pick for the second season in a row. She was also the third player in Cowgirl history to reach 500 assists.

As a freshman, guard Zahna Medley led the team in scoring and assists. Center Laticria Lovings finished third in the NCAA with 3.63 blocks per game last year and is regarded as one of the best defensive players in the nation. She also recorded 9.2 rebounds per game.
Mittie's rebuilding plan was bolstered this offseason by signing guard AJ Alix, a top-50 recruit, and guard forward Jada Butts, a top-100 recruit, in the off-season. Guard Alexia Standish, a 2011 top-30

The team may not be challenging for the Big 12 this year, but it should be in the next two or three years. If the young starters from last year improve and the recruits continue to roll in, TCU could be a force in the years to come.

Students admit to distractions in classroom
HARRISON DRAKE
hdrake@kansan.com
A recent study suggests that more than 80 percent of students are distracting themselves with their digital devices during class. Bernard "Barney" McCoy, associate professor of broadcasting at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, conducted this research when realizing that many students in his classroom seemed more interested in their phones than his class.
In fall 2012, McCoy surveyed 777 students at six universities—including the University of Kansas—about their digital device usage in class. The results suggested that more than 86 percent of students text during class and 68 percent admit to using social networking websites. More than a fourth of students who were surveyed admitted that it had affected their class performance.
But are these statistics surprising?

Government Shutdown
national review. Considering universities operate across state lines and nationally, it seems to me a somewhat more regional level of accreditation is the way to go."
The shutting down of national monuments and parks got much of the attention during October's federal government shutdown, but the Chancellor said the University took some damage as well. Gray-Little said research at the University was hurt the most by the shutdown, as the review of grant applications no longer received funding. During that time, the University was being reviewed for a higher security clearance for
research areas from the federal government, but that review had to be put on hold.
"Everything just stopped completely," Gray-Little said. "To have it delayed and then have the question of when the process would be back in full swing, it was a disruption. It was certainly a problem for us, and a huge economic hit especially for some regions of the country as well."
Professor Guth Returns
Journalism Professor David Guth was taken off administrative leave three weeks ago at the recommendation of a seven-member committee the Chancellor put together. Guth will not resume teaching duties this semester, however, and will be returning in an administrative role for the
remainder of the semester.
With the buzz surrounding the issue having died down, Gray-Little said she can look back at the decision the University made with confidence.
"I think we did the right thing," Gray-Little said. "Because he was speaking as a citizen at that point, for someone making a comment on a public event, that speech is protected by the first amendment. So it really wasn't appropriate to take punitive action based on that."
The Chancellor added that the response to ending Professor Guth's leave has been mostly negative, with public officials like State Sen. Greg Smith (R-Overland Park) calling for his termination. Gray-Little said she had to weigh multiple issues when
considering bringing Professor Guth back, including the disruption for students and the University as a whole.
"I think most of the reaction from the outside was based on one thing," she said. "People said, 'He said this, he should be fired,' or 'He said this, he has a right, nothing should happen.' Those kind of decisions when we can use one point as a basis for a decision are a luxury, but we did not have that luxury."
Ending the Semester
From a record-setting freshman class to a professor involved in a national controversy, the Chancellor has had to address a wide range of issues in her three interviews this semester with the Kansan.
"A lot of the things we've talked about, I wouldn't have anticipated when we first met," she said.
But as the semester begins to wind down, Gray-Little said she would rather focus on the progress the University made than the headline-break disruptions.
"From the strong enrollment, the great credentials and diversity of the entering students to the new curriculum, these are just a number of things that are great achievements," she said. "If I focus on what we're trying to do, I think we're making great progress, but of course there's some important distractions that come along that tend to get most of the attention."

Devastation follows typhoon in Philippines

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Residents walk by debris after powerful Typhoon Haiyan slammed into Tacloban city, Leyte province central Philippines on Saturday, Nov. 9. Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded, according to U.S. Navy's Joint Warning Center, slammed into central Philippine provinces Friday leaving a wide swath of destruction.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The U.S. and other governments and agencies are mounting a major relief effort to help victims of the Philippine typhoon.
Brian Goldbeck, acting ambassador at the U.S. Embassy in Manila, issued a disaster declaration to provide an immediate $100,000 for relief efforts. Officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development are deployed around the country to monitor the damage.
Other charities working to provide relief in the Philippines include:
UNITED NATIONS WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME
The United Nations World Food Programme said it has allocated $2 million for the disaster response and officials joined an assessment mission to survey damage in Leyte and Samar provinces.
WFP said it will send more than 40 tons of high energy biscuits and work with the Filipino government to help with logistics and emergency communications systems. It asks for donations at www.wfpusa.org or by texting the word AID to 27722 to instantly donate $10.
UNICEF
UNICEF said its staff in the Philippines is being repositioned to help in relief efforts and 66 tons of emergency supplies are being sent from Copenhagen. An airlift set to arrive on Tuesday will include water purification systems, storage equipment and sanitation supplies. Donations can be made to UNICEF at unicef.org/support.
RED CROSS

FUTURE FOCUSED
Consider all factors before making post-grad plans
What do I do after I graduate? This curious question – often thought, yet rarely said aloud – defines University students. The most common answer is, "I do not know." Normally, this does not mean, "I am swimming in options; I just cannot decide." Rather, it often reflects, "I really, honestly, do not know." This is my unscientific assumption: Students are trying to graduate from KU. This is my legitimate concern: They do not know what they are going to do afterward.
I should note that you do not have to do what I recommend. If you came to college to get away from someone telling you what to do, fine. I hope, however, that this recommendation is insightful.
To answer, "What do I do after I graduate?" it is worth examining student behavior. A high number of students change their maiors, drop out of school and stay extra years, all while accumulating more debt. They do this partly because they bountifully explore their ever-broadening interests. But I believe the primary driver
of this behavior is less cheerful. It is the repetition of constantly getting sick of what they are doing, deciding it is not for them, and desiring change. Over,and over and over.
Why does this happen? It has to do with the way we, as students, set goals.
Consider the following two goal-setting approaches. The first involves selecting an arbitrary point, perhaps a career milestone, and then figuring out how to get there. It is an outward approach. As students, we are constantly looking outward for guidance: advisors, friends, upperclassmen and even recent graduates. For example, let us say a college student decides: I want a job when I graduate. I want to be an engineer I need an engineering degree.
By Chris Ouyang couyang@kansan.com
That line of thinking is all too common, and in that order is especially dangerous. The only thread of motivation that drives the student is "I want a job when I graduate." In the face of adversity, that is not nearly enough motivation to finish the more challenging, technical degrees offered by
KU. Instead, the person is highly likely to pick another arbitrary point, another career milestone, and set their sights on that. Soon, this person hopes to become a doctor, a writer, a history teacher, a musician, an investment banker aficionado, all with the same weak motivation: I want a job when I graduate. Even nicely-packaged reasons, like "I want to help people," still may not be enough to motivate in the toughest times.
The other approach is different. If the first approach looks outward, the second approach is introspective. One has to identify strengths, weaknesses, risks and potential. What are you actually good at? The person identifies his inclination toward math, his love of technical problem solving and
his desire to manage projects. But even then, where does that leave this person?
And that is just it. These two approaches converge, each from one end. This leads to real conviction. That's the source of internal motivation, and it will help you decide what you want to do when you graduate. The chances of actually accomplishing whatever you decide are exponentially higher.
Neither approach is sufficient alone. Students are notorious for exercising the first approach, despite the necessity of the second approach. This leaves them wondering what to do after graduation. Even advising appointments exacerbate the issue. When was the last time your advisor asked, "Okay, what do you excel at? What would you consider your weaknesses?" Rather, you might hear, "What are you interested in? What do you want to do when you graduate?"
The second approach is defined by serious introspection—times you failed, times you succeeded, times your strengths shined
through—and not something as fleeting as an interest. College is supposed to be a time of exploration. But if exploration is not met halfway by internal reflection, you can be certain that your interests will change sporadically, and you won't be able to answer "What do I do after I graduate?"
So when you are thinking about what you want to do after graduation, do not just throw a dart at a board, à la the first approach. You cannot just think, "I want a job," or "I am a people person." It is, for the majority of people, insufficient. You have to incorporate the second approach; identify your advantages, shortcomings and potential. Dig deep. College is a value proposition. You cannot price everything, but if you are footing the bill for your education and wondering what to do after graduation, take some time to think about both approaches and see where that leads you.

INTERNATIONAL
China's water pollution poses consequences for entire world
My friend went to China this past summer to study abroad, and in addition to returning with suspect designer products, he also came back with a latent form of tuberculosis. While discussing the trip, he frequently mentioned the air pollution in Beijing. And although air pollution in China is severe and under-regulated, there's another problem garnering less attention: China's water pollution.
By Anrenee Reasor
areasor@kansan.com
Few people know that the Chinese face one of the world's scarcest and most polluted water supplies. Can you imagine your shower smelling like a polluted river? No, because it's unlikely you've ever even smelled a polluted river. Can you imagine not being able to drink from the tap in your kitchen? It may not be preferred over bottled or filtered water, but at least it won't poison or kill you. Chinese people even have to question drinking their bottled water.
Of China's more than 4,700 underground water-quality testing stations, nearly three-fifths are considered "relatively bad" or even worse, according to a recent New York Times article. This is as categorized by their lax environmental standards too, not by U.S. or international standards. Their rivers endure chemical spills almost daily. China's rapid industrialization has outpaced its scarce water supply, continuously shrinking what's drinkable.
To compare, the Great Lakes hold about 20 percent of the world's fresh water for less than 5 percent of the world's
population. China only contains 7 percent of the world's fresh water for around 20 percent of the population. Its two main rivers, the Yellow River and Yangtze River, run through China's industrial belts. Once it reaches the coasts, the rivers' water must undergo extensive treatment to be used. Would you want to drink water that had just flowed through chemical spills, human waste and agricultural runoff?
As we all know too well, one person's problem quickly becomes someone else's problem. Like when your roommate oversleeeps and needs a ride to class, pronto. Now you have to decide if you want to give him a ride or suffer scorn through the weekend. Well, China's shared river with Southeast Asia, the Mekong, is causing border tension. By the time other countries receive the Mekong's dwindling flow, it's been contaminated by China. With such global impact, China's water problem may soon burden the rest of the world. Though it seems unfathomable now, water shortage may cause the next world war. It won't be civil rights or freedom we fight over, but one of the most basic resources.
So, what's China doing to solve its problem? It's creating a system of aqueducts to move water, called the South-North Water Transfer Project. It's estimated to cost $62 billion, with over half of that total already spent. In addition to being costly, these aqueducts may leak and cause contamination. No guarantee exists that they will effectively and efficiently serve their purpose. And they only redistribute the water supply, rather than adding to it.
To increase the supply means investing in technology that will sanitize more water. A large pilot plant has been built in Tianjin, a northern city. However, even if it does work, it will be difficult and costly for China to provide these resources on such a large scale. Most of us can't even imagine water being a finite resource. We just walk to the spigot and turn on potable water. We don't worry we may become sick or crinkle our noses at its questionable odor. We don't walk several miles a day, carrying it back in jugs over our heads. All these luxuries are unacknowledged. We fail to appreciate our immediate access to clean water. The next time the waiter tops off your glass, think about how many people live without such an opportunity. And when you hear about China's ghost towns, air pollution and poverty rates, consider its more immediate problem: a clean water supply.

WINTER
Don't let chilly weather dictate your attitude
Before you know it, we will migrate indoors for what seems like an eternity of freezing winds and Christmas songs on the radio. While snow and holidays do bring good times, the hibernation takes a toll on us. The idea of a cozy room and a book sounds nice until you endure it for a few months. Days seem to go by slower. It gets dark obnoxiously early and frostbit temperatures gnaw at your sanity.
I've lived in Kansas my entire life and every year I'm still shocked by how invasive the cold can be. It's my personal belief that the term "when hell freezes over" is inaccurate because a true hell is already frozen. I might be a bit dramatic about the cold—I'm totally comfortable in temperatures more than 100 and don't consider it nice until it's at least 85 outside. Naturally, I'm going to hate it when it's even fairly chilly. However, it's not just my taste in weather, but the side effects that come with it.
During the summer, leisurely activities like swimming, walking, and barbeques are always available. Bored? Just walk outside and be entertained by the sun. The benefits of good weather are seemingly endless. When the outdoors aren't available though, finding fun things to do becomes extremely difficult. The lack of activity coupled with the dreary weather can lead to a miserable winter. For me, it's this way every year.
I've decided that enough is enough. I want to fight it this time around. So, what's one to do when faced with the bleakness of yet another Kansas winter?
Something — anything different. The harshest part of winter is the rut. Be it school, relationships, work, whatever, I get caught up in routine and life becomes somber. Mixing things up is a great way to combat the monotony. It can be as simple as taking a different

route to work or listening to new music. Focusing on the small things is key, though working on big things can be a great solution as well. Just remember, variety is the soice of life.
But finding ways to do things different may not be enough on its own. It's good for a change of pace, but can be troublesome due to the pesky weather we're trying to avoid.
Seeking out new hobbies can be expensive too. If your wallet is in hibernation, going out to eat or starting a new project isn't always feasible. It's definitely frustrating, and just like the weather, it's out of our control.
Well, if a different way of doing things or a new hobby isn't putting the 'spring' in your step, what can?
Most people's winter sadness isn't too severe. It's basically just a four-month bad mood because school is hard, life isn't fair and the weather is even worse. This is why it's so important to just remember to be happy. It sounds simple, but honestly, it's silly to let weather determine our emotions. Happiness doesn't have to rely on a combination of uncontrollable existential conditions.
That applies to my advice too. While my tips are good to practice, they may not provide the solution for you. The only real way to combat the weather is to understand that you are the only one who (to a non-Fahrenheit degree) can control your life.

After switching locations in December, Milton's has changed its hours to stay open for late-night breakfast until 10 p.m.
Milton's extends hours to offer breakfast at night
MACKENZIE LEANDER
mieander@kansan.com
David Lewis, the owner and manager of Milton's, is excited to announce the popular brunch spot has extended its hours. Milton's will now remain open until 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Students will no longer have to wake up unpleasantly early to beat the Milton's breakfast rush.
"(Milton's) is the only place around that serves breakfast at night and honestly everyone wants breakfast at night," Bjerhan said. "We want to invite college students to experience what some
Milton's opened at its new location last December. Now that all the kinks have been worked out, the staff has been encouraging Lewis to stay open later. Hans Bjeran began serving at Milton's before the move and is convinced everyone will love Lewis' French toast for dinner.
Students have more to look forward to than just late-night breakfast. With free Wi-Fi and coffee, Milton's is set up for students to study comfortably. Bjerhan suggests students try Milton's espresso that will "keep them up for days." If it's not a caffeine fix students are looking for, they can take advantage of Milton's variety of other drink options.
people have been experiencing with us for 15 years."
Lewis hired a new night server to work the bar in hopes that students will take advantage of Milton's drink specials including cocktails and martinis. By offering these specials, Lewis hopes to bring in students who don't want to wake up at the crack of dawn to experience the coffee shop atmosphere, like Tom O'Leary, a senior from Mission Hills, Kan.
"I think it's awesome they're serving breakfast at night now because you aren't going to find that in a library, or another coffee
shop for that matter. It's different and unique," O'Leary said. "If you're a social studier, which I am, it's a good idea. And when I study I'll for sure have the munchies."
Lewis has been doing business in the area for twenty years and says that he understands students' desire to get out of their apartments or dorms. He hopes Milton's unique variety of options will make it a spot where students can make new friends, study, eat and have a couple drinks.
"These extended hours are targeted directly at students," Lewis said. "Come eat. Come drink. Come study. We have beer, wine and really a pretty wide range of things for a small space like this. I don't know of any other place that offers all that."
Milton's is located on the ground floor of the 901 building at Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

During the last year or so, Mac Miller has gone from cringe-worthy rapper toapper of one of the most intriguing figures in hip-hop. This past June, Miller released his second album, "Watching Movies with the Sound Off", which featured strong production and strong lyrics. The album was a giant leap in artistry for Miller. Since 2012, he has introduced a few alter egos: Larry Fisherman, his name as a producer, and now Delusional Thomas.
New mixtape brings rapper Mac Miller into the spotlight
"Delusional Thomas" is Miller's latest mixtape project, released last month.
To be completely honest, "Delusional Thomas" sounds like an early Odd Future release. It contains some horrorcore-esque lyrics with multiple references to extreme violence and continuous challenges to religion, which were characteristic of most early Odd Future releases.
Just like those early Odd Future releases, these lyrics come off as childish and even forced at times.
Delusional Thomas has a pitch-changed voice that sounds like Mac Miller rapping after sucking in a helium-filled balloon. His voice can be a bit annoying, but the project is only 10 tracks and 27 minutes long. The length of this project is perfect because if it were any longer, Delusional Thomas' voice would have become infurishing.
Although Thomas' voice can be quite annoying, the production helps alleviate this nuisance and fits the high-pitched voice very well.
Mac Miller has proved to be quite the producer under alter ego Larry Fisherman. Nearly every Fisherman beat is fantastic. Miller is quite frankly a better producer than he is a rapper. Every beat fits the overall mood and theme perfectly.
There aren't many features on "Delusional Thomas," but one that stands out is Earl Sweatshirt's verse on the fourth track, "Bill" Delusional Thomas holds his own but Sweatshirt absolutely steals the show. Earl Sweatshirt is no slouch on the mic, but this

Mac Miller appears as a guest on "Grandpa Used to Carry a Flask," which is the best track on the entire project. In the song, Miller goes back and forth with highpitched Thomas and both deliver great verses.
Mac Miller continues to push his artistry and should be applauded. This project is not for the faint of heart and is at times hard to listen to, but if you can look past its flaws, "Delusional Thomas" is definitely worth a listen.

Retailers rush into holiday season early this year
Christmas seems to come earlier and earlier each year and even though we act surprised, it has become a predictable tradition.
We are always so quick to jump start the holiday season. It starts in mid-October when we get excited and anxious for Halloween festivities. The anticipation of choosing a costume and attending parties is overwhelming. But before we know it, the holiday has come and gone.
What we are left with are empty shelves that were once filled with Halloween candy and are now being quickly stocked with Christmas decorations. It is a little hard to be a humbug about Christmas celebrations, but days after Halloween seems just a little too early.
Instead of waiting for the day after Thanksgiving, otherwise known as Black Friday, this year retailers are encouraging holiday shoppers to get the deals even earlier. According to the National Retail Federation, 40 percent of holiday shoppers start before Halloween.

Christmas. Customers may be
shocked since last year the first ad
aired on Oct. 28.
The holiday spirit extends further than getting a head start on reasonably-priced gifts for loved ones. Some of us are guilty of watching reruns of "Elf" starting in early November while others anticipate the switch from pumpkin spice lattes to peppermint mochas in festive red cups from Starbucks. Our Pandora stations become filled with Christmas stations. Cinnamon, gingerbread and pine-scented candles permeate throughout our rooms before we've even left for Thanksgiving break.
We can all admit to blasting Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" or "N Sync's "Merry
Christmas, Happy Holidays" a little too prematurely.
ABC Family has become known for its "25 days of Christmas" marathon in which it airs original movies as well as the classics. But, if "25 days of Christmas" isn't enough, you can join ABC Family as they "Countdown to the 25 days of Christmas," starting Nov. 20.
As college students, we try to get the most out of every experience, and this doesn't exclude the Christmas season. We watch the lights go up on Massachusetts Street, pray for snow days, raid the thrift stores for "ugly sweaters," and this year we will celebrate the sixth annual SantaCina in downtown Lawrence.
It may be too early for some, but others love the idea of getting an early start on the festive celebrations. Personally, I think we need to slow down and enjoy one holiday at a time. Thanksgiving is a great day of family, food and football so let's wait to start the Christmas music until after we've digested the turkey.

Teresa Lu wins first title at Mizuno Classic
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHIMA, Japan — Taiwan's Teresa
SHIMA, Japan — Taiwan's Teresa Lu won the Mizuno Classic on Sunday, birdieing the last two holes and six of the final eight for a two-stroke victory.
The 25-year-old Lu, a regular on the Japan LGPA Tour after giving up her LGPA Tour membership in 2010, shot an 8-under 64 in windy, wet conditions at Kimetsu Kashikojima. She finished at 14-under 202 and earned $180,000 for her first professional title.
"I've been waiting for this day for so long." Lu said. "This is my first win. It's been eight years on tour.
I'm really happy. Really nervous and really happy.
She made a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th.
"I knew I have to go lower and get more birdies otherwise I was going to get in a playoff", Lu said. "It's better not a playoff. So I focus on the birdie."
She has three runner-up finishes and 13 top-10s this season on the JLPGA.
"Beginning of this year, I got into two playoffs and in both of them, I lose," Lu said. "I guess I really learned from that and just tried to be calm."
South Korea's Shella Choi, tied
with Lu with two holes to play, had a 66 to finish second.

focus. I don't know why, not nervous. I think good experience for me. ... It's OK; though, because I played well today. Disappointed, but satisfied."
"I think I had very good confidence today," said Choi. "I just think, 'OL, one putt, just one stroke.' So I think birdie and
"I've been waiting for this day for so long."
Japanese players took the next five spots. Mamiko Higa and Yuki Ichinose shot 70 to tie for third at 10 under, Yumiko Yoshida (68) and Shilo Oyama (71) followed at 9 under, and Asako Fujimoto (71) was 8 under.
Stacy Lewis, the 2012 winner, tied for eighth at 7 under after a 70. The American was the top-ranked player in the field at No. 3.
putts earlier I just couldn't seem to make any putts. But to shoot 2 under in this wind is a good score. It's pretty crazy what those two are doing today."
American Brittany Lincicome, a stroke behind second-round leaders Higa, Ichinose and Oyama entering the day, had a 77 to tie for 29th at 2 under.
"It's really hard out there," Lewis said. "I could have made some
Lu became the second Taiwanese winner in tournament. Ai-Yu Tu won in 1986 when the event was called the Mazda Japan Classic.
Lu was asked if she planned to return to the LPGA Tour.

Who knows if the Ravens can rebound from their poor start to make the postseason for a sixth straight year? This much is certain: It would have been much tougher if they were 3-6 and tied for last place with Pittsburgh.
Teresa Lu won her first title the Mizuno Classic, birdieing six of the final eight holes despite strong winds on Sunday.

Ravens steal victory from Bengals in overtime, 20-17
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — Their season hanging in the balance after having victory snatched away on a final desperate play of regulation, the Baltimore Ravens responded like champions.
"It's disappointment," coach John Harbaugh said of A.J. Green's catch as the clock ran out in the fourth quarter. "But you don't get disheartened. You still have a chance to win the game."
victimized by a desperation 51-yard touchdown pass to force overtime, the defending Super Bowl winners edged Cincinnati 20-17 on Justin Tucker's 46-yard field goal with 5:27 left in OT Sunday.
And so they did, after blowing a 17-0 halftime lead.
Bidding to end a three-game skid and remain relevant in the playoff hunt, the Ravens committed three turnovers and managed only 189 yards of offense.
"We're not playing great right now," Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco conceded, "but we're doing the best we can to win."
Four of the Ravens' five losses have come by a combined 14 points. It seemed like this one was headed in that direction after Andy Dalton forced overtime with that heave to Green to end the fourth quarter.
The tense win thrust the Ravens (4-5) into a second-place tie in the AFC North, just one game behind Cincinnati (6-4) in the loss column. It was Baltimore's first victory since Oct. 6.
"I looked back and saw Green with the ball in his hands and I couldn't believe it," Ravens corner-back Corey Graham said. But Baltimore ravens.
carries. And still, the Ravens prevailed.
"Sometimes you have to win by any means necessary." Rice said. "Winning heals a lot. Now we've got to get on a roll to get back where we want to be."
Despite their comeback, the Bengals lost their second straight overtime game. Dalton went 24 for
"They showed the heart of champions. Where this will lead us, we'll find out."

Almost, but not quite. On the last-second throw in regulation, Green positioned himself behind the pack and caught the deflection
"We've got to do whatever we can to make one more play, put ourselves in a better position where we can score and have a chance to not let the other team have it," Dalton said. "Again, it didn't happen today."

And now it's their turn to lament a run of narrow defeats.
after it flicked off the hand of Ihedigbo, who earlier had the first two interceptions of his career.
"I was just looking for someone to tap the ball so I could catch it," Green said.
The Bengals won the toss before overtime and moved to the Baltimore 33 before Giovani Bernard caught a short pass, reversed field and was tackled for an 11-yard loss on fourth down.
Baltimore then got a pair of first downs before Tucker kicked the winner.
With 151 yards receiving, Green set a franchise record with his fifth straight 100-yard game. And, making his second start of the season, Cincinnati linebacker Vincent Rey had 13 tackles, three sacks and his first career interception.
but it all went for laugh:
A gusty afternoon proved troublesome for the Bengals. Mike Nugent missed a 42-yard field goal into the wind and Dalton repeatedly overthrew his receivers. In the second quarter, Ihedigbp picked off a high pass and returned it 37 yards to set up a touchdown for a 17-0 lead.
Baltimore mustered only 94 yards in offense before halftime, but took advantage of Bengals miscues to put together scoring drives of 53, 58 and 11 yards.
But it all went for naught.
Cincinnati had more penalty yards than total offense (114-102)

Offense stagnant once again in 42-6 loss to Oklahoma State

Kansas Jayhawks running back Tony Pierson looks at the ground in disappointment after he failed to complete a pass in the end zone.
MAX GOODWIN AND CONNOR OBERKROM
mgoodwin@kansan.com; coberkrom@kansan.com
OFFENSE: F
The offense was able to move the ball, but gave the team zero chance to compete by scoring just six points.
DEFENSE: C
The defense held the OSU rushing attack to 85 yards, but the Kansas secondary was burned for 274 passing yards and three touchdowns.
SPECIAL TEAMS.
The game was basically over after the opening kick-off was returned 100 yards for a touchdown. Ron Doherty made 2-of-3 field goals on the day.
COACHING: D
Charlie Weis once again made some decisions that are difficult to understand, for example deciding to go for it on fourth and one, then wasting a time out and deciding to punt instead.
GLASS HALF FULL
After facing the juggernauts of the Big 12 (Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech) Kansas now gets the lesser portion of the schedule as it faces West Virginia, Iowa State and Kansas State to end the season as it looks to snap its 27-game conference losing streak. Prior to the season, the Iowa State and West Virginia games were circled as ones that could result in a conference victory. Now Kansas has three chances to break the daunting streak and prevent it from carrying over to next season.
GLASS HALF EMPTY
The passing offense faltered again, which shouldn't catch anyone off guard, but the problem still persists. Cozart showed in moments that he's capable, but finished with just 58 yards on 17 passing attempts. Heaps meanwhile mustered a measly 56 yards on eight attempts.

GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID
Kansas opened the game surrendering a kickoff return to OSU's Justin Gilbert. The Cowboys never looked back, gradually building up a lead and putting a beating on the Jayhawks. To be down by a touchdown just 13 seconds into the game is devastating and the Jayhawks never could get anything going.
VERDICT: BAD
DELAY OF GAME
Montell Cozart is the future — that much is clear. While Cozart made a few nice plays, one really stood out. On a third down, with a blitz coming up the middle, Cozart took off and eluded several defenders going across the field and eventually gained sufficient yards for a first down. After picking up confidence in operating the offense, Cozart's mobility showed on Saturday.
GAMEBALL
Punter Trevor Pardula who has been money all season was just his normal self in Stillwater. Pardula averaged 46.4 yards per punt on Saturday, including a 55-yarder. He pinned OSU inside its 20 four times and had 102 more punting yards than Kansas had total yards of offense.
LOOKING AHEAD
Kansas gets a sliding West Virginia next week, and while it clearly will be the underdog in every game the rest of the season, this game is maybe the best chance to get rid of that nightmarish streak outside of Iowa State.
FINAL THOUGHT
This team is still a long way from competing on a consistent level, that's pretty obvious. Developing Montell Cozart into something real and productive however remains the primary objective. Cozart showed his ability to extend plays, where Heaps has not. While both have struggled to find receivers downfield, Cozart's promise is in the forefront.

Foles steps up for Eagles in Vick's absence
Nick Foles backed up his seven- touchdown performance from last week with a solid 228-yard
last week with a solid 228-yard three-touchdown performance in a 27-13 Eagles win. Foles is making football analysts around the country wonder if he is the real deal or not. For now, Foles is leading the Eagles offense and will continue to do so, at least until Michael Vick is healthy again.
That is where things will become interesting. When Vick comes back from injury, will Chip Kelly still think he gives his team the best chance to win? After these last two performances, I can't imagine the answer to that question still being "yes." Foles has made the offense shine in the last two weeks and been amongst the league's top performers at the QB position. Is Nick Foles the Eagles' quarterback of the future? Has Michael Vick taken his last

snaps for the Eagles, or in the NFL at all? In 2007, Michael Vick was indicted on dogfighting charges by the federal government. Vick was forced to miss the entirety of the 2007 and 2008 NFL seasons. Vick lost all respect he had and was voted the most hated player in the NFL by his peers. People questioned whether or not we would ever see Michael Vick and his high-intensity play-style in the league again.
in 2009, Michael Vick was signed by Andy Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick was finally given a second chance to play in the NFL. Vick did not start in 2009. In fact, he only attempted 13 passes. It wasn't until 2010 that Vick got a legitimate chance back in the NFL. Vick has played injury-riddled seasons every year since 2010 and hasn't played in more than 13 games since then. While Vick has been on the field, his play has been strong but inconsistent. The Eagles have had very similar success.

the guy to run Philly's high-powered, fast paced offense. But it seems like the more conventional play-style of Nick Foles is just what this offense needs. Move over Michael Vick, there is a new "QB1" in Philly, and animal lovers and their dogs are rejoicing everywhere.
Just last week, Foles became the third player in NFL history to throw seven touchdown passes on the road. Before, it was thought that Vick was

Longhorns end Jayhawks' winning streak
IRLAIR SHFADE
bsheade@kansan.com
The No. 24 Jayhawks broke their three-game conference winning streak with a 1-3 loss to the No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns 16-25, 25-15, 22-25, 21-25 in Austin, Texas, on Saturday.
Compared with the last time these two teams faced each other, the match was the same story, but a different setting. On Oct. 12, the Longhorns came to Lawrence and beat the Jayhawks 3-1. Kansas won the second set of both matches. A little bit of everything was working for the Jayhawks in the second set, said head coach Ray Bechard.
"We set well, we transitioned attacked well and we served extremely well." Bechard said. "From the first set to the second set we served better and passed better, that's why the score from the first set to the second set was so different."
The Jayhawks carried the second set victory and opened the third
set 16-14, but then ended up losing
22-25.
"We had a nice two-point lead deep into the third set,but we didn't get the response we needed," Bechard said.
The Texas Longhorns rank second in the Big 12 Conference for blocks and kills allowed, but the Jayhawks still hit the ball well.
Four Jayhawks finished the match with double-digit kills. Redshirt senior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael led the Jayhawks in kills with 13 and redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc led the Jayhawks in hitting percentage with .346 and tied for second in kills with 11.
"I went out aggressively," Jarmoc said. "I was effective when getting the ball in transition and putting the ball away when I got set." Junior outside hitter Sarah McClinton was the Jayhawks kills leader when the Longhorns came to Lawrence Oct. 12. On Saturday,
McClinton was tied for second on the Jayhawks with 11 kills. McClinton had an effective second set, hitting six of her 11 kills. McClinton didn't see a lot of double blocks on the outside and her ability to hit high over the single block explained her double-digit kill total, said McClinton.
"I could have played better and could have helped the team out a little more, but I was playing aggressive," McClinton said. "We came out there playing like we had nothing to lose."
The Longhorns couldn't have won without the dominant play from senior outside hitter Bailey Webster and junior middle blocker outside hitter Haley Eckerman. They helped the No. 1 ranked team in the country stay undefeated in the Big 12 Conference.
Eckerman was the match kills leader with 25 and .333 hitting percentage. Webster was the second leading hitter with 16 kills and .304
hitting percentage.
"Webster and Eckerman are very dynamic attackers and they have good shots," Jarmoc said about the Texas hitters, who are both top attackers within the Big 12 Conference.
The Jayhawks haven't beaten the Longhorns since 2003, which means that no one on the current team has ever beaten Texas. That can be very frustrating, said coach Bechard.
For the senior women, they won't get another chance to beat Texas in their career unless they meet again in the NCAA tournament. Jarmoc said she tries not to think about the fact that Saturday might have been her last opportunity to beat Texas.
"I like to attack opportunities as they come, but I try not to think about them after they've gone by," Jarmoc said.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Wiggins reached double-digits again and finished with 16 points on 9-5 shooting to go along with a game-high three steals. He twoed 3-pointers for the night—his first two of the season. Defenders are likely to give him some space in order to prevent his quick first step, so his long-range shooting could be the difference between 10 and 25 points on a night.

GAME TO FORGET
With a chance to assert himself with Tharpe out of Friday's lineup, Mason picked up two quick fouls and sat out a majority of the first half. He did have five assists to zero turnovers, but his four trouble kept him on the bench longer than Self would have liked. The Kansas offense stalled without Mason in the lineup, with an inexperienced Seldon running the point at times.

UNSUNG HERO
Despite getting into foul trouble, Embid asserted himself Friday as a potential threat in the paint. He got to the line 10 times and made seven attempts. Five points and a steal during a short stretch in the second half gave the team a spark while the Warhawks were still hanging around.

One constant during the team's three games this season has been the consistent play of the two players expected to lead the team in scoring this season.
Guard Andrew Wiggins and forward Perry Ellis have reached double-digit scoring in every game as both players have averaged nearly 14 points a game. At least one player has led the team in scoring each night while each has also contributed on the defensive end.
Making his first official start, Wiggins tallied a team-high 16 points against the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks on 5-for-9 shooting. He got a boost from his long-range shot as he made his first 3-point shots of the season. He also topped the 50 percent field goal threshold for the first time this year.
Senior forward Tarik Black skies for the ball during Kansas' 80-63 victory over Louisiana-Monroe on Friday night. Black tallied eight points on 3-3 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds in his first game as a Jayhawk.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
"Effcient, that would probably be a pretty good way to put it," head coach Bill Self said. "I thought he did some good things."
He has led the team in field goal attempts per game averaging almost 11 field goals per night. Self thinks he can force the action even more.
"I think he can be more aggressive," Self said. "But I think all our guys can be more aggressive."
Not just an offensive weapon, Wiggins has also recorded five steals and four blocks on the season. His speed and long arms have helped him close quickly on defenders, including Louisiana-Monroe senior guard Amos Olatayo.
Olatayo.
"He has a quick first step," Olatayo said. "He's very long."
With Jamari Traylor and Joel Embid in foul trouble most of the evening, Ellis scored 12 points to go along with a team-high eight rebounds. He did most of his damage in the first half, finishing with nine points and five rebounds in 15 minutes. Not known for blocking shots, Ellis rejected two Warhawk attempts on the evening.
One of the few returners in the frontcourt, Ellis has been the team's most efficient offensive player for Kansas this season scoring on 68 percent of his field goal attempts. While his forward counterparts have struggled from the charity stripe, Ellis has knocked down 15 of 17 free throw attempts—good for 88 percent.
Ellis has also been effective on the glass averaging nearly eight rebounds a game. He has led the team in rebounding in two of the three games.
three games Perhaps the team's most complete post player, Ellis has been consistent while Tarik Black, Embid and Traylor have all struggled at times
this season. For the most part, Ellis has avoided foul trouble despite the Jayhawks committing 69 for the season.
Friday was the first night both Wiggins and Ellis logged more than 25 minutes in a contest. Look for each player to play 30-35 minutes against Duke on Tuesday.
Both Wiggins and Ellis will have to show this same consistency against the No. 4 Blue Devils next week for the Jayhawks to have a legitimate shot at making an early season statement.

Cozart's play encouraging in Oklahoma State loss

*Kansas is officially ineligible for a bowl game. A 42-6 defeat on Saturday evening in Stillwater eliminated the possibility of a six win season, making it 27 straight Big 12 losses for the Jayhawks, as well as what will be five straight seasons without a bowl appearance.
*Oklahoma State had enough to beat Kansas with just one play. On the first play of the game with Oklahoma State back to receive the kick, returner Justin Gilbert returned it 100 yards for a touchdown. It might be harsh to say that Kansas lost the game on the first play of the night, but with the way Kansas played, it isn't far from the truth.

"We've been a little slow on the uptake offensively and not scoring a bunch of points, so when you're playing a game [you are] trying to keep it in a certain point range," coach Charlie Weis said. "So when you start off with something like that it was a little deflating. You can't pick a worse way to start a game."
Kansas struggled to move the ball early and OSU didn't. Kansas made it past the OSU 40 only once in the first half. Accompanied by a Jake Heaps interception that set OSU up with short field and the opening kickoff return, OSU cruised to
a 28-0 halftime lead.
The only time Kansas did get into the redzone, was after an option call on 3rd and 2 was blown up by OSU. Cozart ran back across the width of the field to gain three yards, going out of bounds just ahead of the first down marker.
That drive-extending play by Cozart made a 50-yard Tony Pierson run on the ensuing play possible. On the OSU 15, Kansas ran three plays for no gain before new starting kicker Ron Doherty came on and missed a field goal off the left crossbar to keep Kansas scoreless early in the second half.
It turned into a game just as hard to recall as Kansas' last six conference losses this season. Kansas was outplayed for the entirety of the game and the only interesting thing left to occupy Kansas fans' minds would be the probable passing of the starting quarterback torch from Jake Heaps to Montell Cozart.
"What I think that we're going to have to do is lean towards one heavier over the other," Weis said. "We played Montell more than Jake so that's a possibility, but we'll have to wait to see what we've got and what West Virginia has before we make our decision."
It was Heaps ninth start for the Jayhawks this season, and after quarterbacking three possessions
and only earning one first down, it was Cozart's turn. Cozart's statline wasn't great, but he was able to help the Jayhawks move the ball and convert third downs to extend drives. Often times he did so with his feet, and when plays blew up, Cozart improvised to get first downs.
"He kind of bailed us out a number of times in the run game," Weis said "There was a number of times when there were plays designed to go to the right where he went to the left and that's just Montell being Montell."
Cozart was 6-17 passing for 58 yards and rushed for 67 yards on 18 carries. It wasn't glamorous, but Cozart was able to get Kansas into the redzone without having to rely on the defense for a turnover. Cozart showed that he could get Kansas across midfield easier than Heaps. It's been eight straight games since Kansas has put 20 points on the scoreboard, and Charlie Weis has noticed, and seemed to be pleased with Cozart after Saturday's game in Stillwater.
When asked what he thought of Cozart's style going forward, Charlie Weis was clear.
"Sign me up."

Gardner leads offense in season-opening victory
EVAN DUNBAR
edunbar@kansan.com
It was a sloppy game during the first half of Kansas' season-opening 84-62 win over Oral Roberts Sunday afternoon in Allen Field-house.
But through all of the missed shots, fouls and turnovers, one player stood out for the Jayhawks - junior forward Chelsea Gardner.
Gardner took advantage of her mismatches inside against Golden Eagles, recording her sixth career double-double by scoring 23 points and grabbing 13 rebounds in 27 minutes on the floor.
Gardner did most of her damage from the free-throw line in the first half, making 7-8 attempts. This was a trend for the Jayhawks, who broke a school record for most free throws attempted and made in a game - finishing 41-54 from the free throw line.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said that with the new hand-check foul rules that were implemented this season, she thinks the hardest part for officials will be to determine when a foul is initiated by an
offensive or defensive player.
"I honestly thought it would be more like this in the first exhibition game," Henrickson said. Gardner continued to score from the free-throw line in the second half, and finished 10-12 for the game.
Both teams fought through foul trouble in the second half, with three players from Oral Roberts fouling out down the stretch. Lamaria Cole and Markisha Hawkins both had four fools for the Jayhawks.
"There was a lot of free throws taken by both teams, and I think a lot has to do with the rule change with the fouls," junior guard Natalie Knight said.
Despite the foul trouble for both teams, Gardner was able to avoid it, finishing with a team-low one personal foul.
Gardner said she was happy to be out of trouble, which was key to the jayhawks' offensive success. "I knew I had to do it," Gardner said.
Kansas' previous high for made free throws in a game was 23. They had already made 19 by halftime.
Knight said that Kansas needed to be more aggressive coming out in the second half, and thought they did, driving the ball more effectively and continuing to get the ball to Gardner.
"Just coming out and being ready and having a lot more energy than we started out with," Gardner said. "We had to work hard and [keep getting] the open lob over the top."
Gardner sparked the Jayhawks' offense at the beginning of both halves. She had seven of Kansas' first nine points, and then scored Kansas' first two baskets to start the second half.
you've got to give credit to Chelsea for getting open, because if she's not open, we can't get her the ball," Knight said. "We always know that if we get her the ball we are going to get easy points, so that's always key for us."
The Jayhawks continue their season Wednesday night against SIU-Edwardsville at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.

COMMENTARY
Tharpe must lead for Jayhawks to succeed
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
Former Kansas point guard Elijah Johnson once compared the Jayhawks offense to a Bugatti.
A high-powered, goose hump inducing ride that causes pedestrians to pull a double-take if they see one speed by.
Johnson believed his role was to drive this car and direct it through a potential 40-game season.
Last Friday the super machine had no one to steer it.
That's not to say Frank Mason played poorly, but two early fools hindered his performance and the jayhawks essentially sacrificed horsepower for a smoother ride.
Against Louisiana-Monroe, Kansas' most important player never even stepped onto the floor
"Naadir's not our most talented guy but he's been our most valuable player," coach Bill Self said. "Frank did good the other day but if you take our two point guards out of the game you're not going to look very good."
For as much talent as they lay hawks have, they'll only go as far as Naadir Tharpe can take them.
It's not as if Tharpe has to score in double-digits every night. He can leave that up to Perry Ellis, Andrew Wiggins and Wayne Selden, Jr. And Tharpe doesn't even need to dish out an assist on every other play.
Kansas needs Tharpe to maintain his cool demeanor and take care of the ball. The other players can do the rest.
That won't be the case Tuesday against Duke, and Self understands the advantage as well as anyone.
When Tharpe is on the floor he's constantly talking. He's the calming voice inside his teammates' heads. Against the Warbawks he could only offer sideline support.
"It'll be a totally different looking team," Self said, "Doesn't mean we'll play better, but certainly we'll have a much better chance."
In the Jayhawks' first two exhibition games, Tharpe combined for 15 assists. On Friday, Wayne Selden Jr., Frank Mason and Conner Frankamp combined for just 12. But Tharpe's presence can't be seen by only looking at the box score.
"He brings that leadership," Jamari Traylor said. "He's been in big games as well. He knows what coach wants, he knows what is needed."
It was Traylor who was with Tharpe when he played the summer league game that led to his suspension. And it was Traylor who saw the look of defeat on his teammate when he realized his wrongdoing.
"He felt like he let us down," Traylor said.
All will be forgotten if Tharpe helps bring Kansas it's first Champions Classic victory.
"First it was Kentucky my freshman year, then it was Michigan State last year," Tharpe said. "We had the game in our hands and let it slip. I'm real hungry especially after sitting out and watching the team play."

KANSAS-DUKE
CHAMPIONS COLLIDE
Tuesday night's contest puts all eyes on Wiggins and the Jayhawks
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
When scouting Louisiana-Monroe last week, coach Bill Self would refer to the opponents by their numbers. Names would hardly be recognizable for his players.
When it comes to scouting a Duke team ranked in the top five, Self does just the opposite. There's no need to refer to freshman Jabari Parker as "number one" or Rodney Hood as "number five" and they definitely don't need a reminder of who will be strolling the sideline in front of Duke's bench.
"I told them this is not like playing in the McDonald's game or Jordan game or any high school championship," Naadir Tharpe said. "This is bigger than that. This is bigger to the school than anything."
Although Self admitted the names Duke and Kansas might not mean much to either team at this point, it's every bit as personal.
It's Duke and Kansas on a national stage and the players know it's going to be an atmosphere reminiscent of late March.
"They haven't been in the school and know how your fans react to certain things." Self said. "I'd say Andrew [Wiggins] is thinking about Duke, but he's also thinking about Jabari [Parker]. There's probably a lot of that stuff going on."
Parker was the number one recruit in the nation last year until Wiggins reclassified. The two have each graced the cover of Sports Illustrated and face the extreme expectations that come with it. The magazine named Parker the best high school player since LeBron James. Wiggins was compared to Wilt Chamberlain.
"Jabari Parker is probably about skilled a 6'8" guy as you'll ever see." Self said. "Hes a Pierce,
In his first official collegiate game Wiggins wig up 16 points. Parker went off for 22 in his.
"I feel like we've been getting into it more in practice," Tharpe said. "This is a game that's going to let us show that guys really want it and how ready they are. The last couple practices all I've seen are guys going after it."
Carmelo Anthony type player. He's one of the best players and without question best freshman in the country."
Most importantly, the lay-
hawks worked on defending an
aggressive attack without fouling.
The Blue Devils like to use their
quickness and speed to get to the
basket. With the new foul rules,
that'll likely give Duke an easier
look or a trip to the line.
The Kansas coach feels the Jayhawks are prepared for the challenge, especially with Tharpe returning to action after serving a one-game suspension.
And Tharpe is ready to show off the young Jayhawks to a national audience.
"Coach has been getting after me in practice about driving the ball." Tharpe said.
This will place an added emphasis on the Jayhawks' forwards establishing themselves in the paint.
Kansas wants to attack with the same plan.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
For Jamari Traylor, it's an opportunity that couldn't come at a more perfect time. The Chicago native never had a chance to play on the United Center floor. Traylor hardly went to Bulls games either. The redshirt sophomore has been finding his way in Kansas' offense the past few games, and finally has a chance to prove himself off the bench in front of family and friends.

As far as the rest of the team. Self is just hoping they don't get caught up in the bright lights of the Madhouse on Madison.
"I just want our guys to be in attack mode and play loose," Self said.

Kansas wins opener with strong second half
The Jayhawks' offense came to life in the second half Sunday against Oral Roberts (1-1), and the women's basketball team won its opener 84-62. After shooting only 30 percent in the first half, Kansas (1-0) shot 60 percent from the field in the second half, led by power forward Chelsea Gardner's 6-6 field goal shooting in the half.
Going in the locker room at halftime, the Jayhawks had a 31-21 lead. Four minutes into the second half the score was 41-24 and Oral Roberts didn't get close again. Bonnie Henrickson said that run provided the team the cushion they needed. Gardner had 15 points in the half, most of which came during that decisive run.

sliang@kansan.com
"That's about as high a percentage as we are going to get, standing right in front of the rim," Henrickson said.
Gardner led the team with 24 points and 13 rebounds. Guard Asia Boyd added 17 points and 10 rebounds of her own. Guard Natalie Knight also scored in the double-digit with 12 and led the team in assists with seven in her first regular season game after tearing her ACL last season.

teams were plaged with fouls throughout the game. Oral Roberts committed 33 fouls and Kansas had 25, which led to a combined 81 free throws attempted.
Forty-one of the Jayhawks' 84 points scored came from the free-throw line. That is the most the Jayhawks have ever scored from the line, and the 54 free throws they attempted was also a record. Henrickson said she was surprised the team was fouled so often.

The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles from the Southland Conference shot 31 percent from the field. They had trouble getting their shots to fall, especially in the first half. Freshman guard Kaylan Mayberry led the team with 17 points, but only shot 33 percent. She made six out of her 18 attempted shots.
Sophomore point guard Lamaria Cole was sped up during the game in her 27 minutes on the court. She committed four fouls and three turnovers in a game where she showed she is still figuring out how to be the starting point guard.
The Jayhawks also had 22 turnovers, which added to the stunted rhythm. Boyd had six of them, and three other players had three.
"Basically, we just had to play better." Knight said. "We weren't reversing the ball on offense. We got stuck on one side of the court a lot. Defensively we couldn't guard anybody. We just had to turn up the intensity."
Five players scored their first points as jayhawks. The five freshmen, Jada Brown, Caelynn Manning-Allen, Keyla Morgan and Dakota and Dylan Gonzalez each had at least one point in their first career game.

Campus leaders discuss awareness issues

Student Senate held a meeting with leaders from various student organizations last Tuesday to discuss sexual assault awareness on campus. They addressed what is working and what isn't in terms of current policy.
Vice President Emma Halling
Vice President said Student Senate doesn't have a direct role in sex education policy, but that, as elected leaders of the student body, they felt
Halling
compelled to address the issue and work toward a solution.
Halling described the meeting as a "gauging where we are discussion on sexual consent on and off campus.
Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler leads the discussion with other student leaders about sexual assault awareness on campus last Tuesday, Nov. 5. Senate used the meeting to gauge the situation regarding sexual assault on and off campus.
The consensus from the meeting was that students need to feel more personally invested in the issue, and that the current presentation of information on sexual assault doesn't facilitate that.
Currently, students are required to take an online training session on sexual harassment and sexual assault, which includes a quiz they must pass at the end.
Jane McQueeny, director of Institutional Opportunity and
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
Access, said IOA often gets emails from students who don't want to take the training.
She recommended that students take the training and provide comments, and added that IOA has received some great feedback.
Halling said people dismiss the training as another check mark on their list of things to do after being admitted to the University of Kansas.
Halling attended the "Heartland Campus Safety Summit" Friday and met with lawyers and police officers who addressed the best practices of universities regarding Title IX.
From that meeting, Halling is putting together an assessment of what would work best at the University. She said it was important to tailor policy directly to the KU student body.
Students who wish to have their voices heard on this issue can contact Halling at atsbvp@ku.edu. She also encourages students to volunteer at the Emily Taylor Center for Women and GaDuGi, a rape crisis center.

International Education Week comes to campus

Yesterday marked the start of International Education Week, which is dedicated to the promotion of international studies and the global community. A number of University departments and professional schools have come together to provide a packed schedule of events throughout the week.
"This week demonstrates the numerous opportunities available to students at the University of Kansas, whether that's through the Office of Study Abroad, lectures or a student organization," said Alison Watkins, communications director for the Office of International Programs.
With nearly 20 different events being held throughout this week, there is something to interest nearly every audience. Topics of
For students who are not initially concerned with specific issues, there will also be general information sessions, such as the "Study Abroad Student Panel," being held Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Sabatini Multicultural Research Center.
discussion will range from "What's in a protest?" — a discussion on upheaval in the Middle East — to "LGBT issues in Russia."
Most of the week's events offer
free admission to KU students, but there are a few that will be invitation-only or require a ticket purchase.
One such event is "Romantic Epicenter, works by Dvorák, Schumann and Brahms," a concert hosted by "Five of the world's most talented musicians from The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center," according to the Lied Center website. The event will be held tonight at the Lied Center at
7:30 p.m. and tickets range from
$11-$24.
The week's events will provide valuable insight into the global community for students, and possibly spark interest in learning more about world cultures. The departments involved hope students will gain a perspective on how international education both affects and can benefit them.

Topeka's Veterans Day parade first for city
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — For Don Boose Sr, the sight of a Veterans Day parade Monday through downtown Topeka was a long time coming but much appreciated as he joined thousands of people lining the curbs.
It was the first Veterans Day parade on record for the state's capital city, which wound down Kansas Avenue before looping back past the east wing of the Statehouse. Scores of military vehicles carried flag-waiving veterans on the brisk morning.
morning.
"I think this is the best thing that ever happened to Topeka," said Boose, 63, a navy veteran who served during the Vietnam War.
those returning from combat.
the topeka parade was organized by Melissa Jarboe, wife of Army Sgt. Jamie jarboe who died last year from wounds suffered when he was shot by a sniper in Afghanistan. Other communities holding parades included Emporia, home of the first Veterans Day, Eskridge, Leavenworth and Manhattan.
Boose, who rescued downed pilots in the ocean from 1969 to 1973, said support for veterans now was much better than when he left the service. He recalled getting "the full treatment" from critics of the war who threw eggs at
"I felt safer over there. I would have gone back," Boose said. "We were just doing what we were told. If I had to do it all over I'd do it in heartbeat."

Gov. Sam Brownback stopped a "deuce and a half" cargo truck carrying Vietnam War veterans to present them with a proclamation marking Veterans Day. The governor later hopped on his motorcycle to join the parade route.
Michael Chavez, 63, was a Marine corporal stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba from 1969 to 1971. He wore his day uniform of olive drab pants, brown shirt and black boots while watching the parade.

Military veterans and their spouses ride motorcycles in a Veterans Day parade on Monday in downtown, Topeka, Kan. Kansas military units fan out across the state to support numerous community activities to mark Veterans Day, including a parade through downtown Topeka.
"There were guys who did a lot more than me and I'm just here to respect them. God bless them all," Chavez said.
He said it was a little bit of an embarrassment that Topeka never had a parade to honor veterans, but was pleased to see so many participants and spectators.
"It just tells you something," Chavez said.
Army National Guard soldiers and Air National Guard airmen were going to local nursing homes and assisted living centers to hand out certificates of appreciation to veterans for their service.

Child killer wants to donate his organs
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A condemned child killer who has abandoned his remaining appeals asked Monday for the chance to donate his organs to his allying mother and sister either before or after his execution this week.
the request by Ronald Phillips to donate a kidney and his heart is not a delay tactic, but rather an attempt to make a final gesture for good, according to his public defender.
"It is our sincere hope that the state of Ohio will do the right thing to ensure that as many people as possible will benefit from the gift of life that Ron is so generously willing to bestow as his own life approaches its end," attorney Lisa Lagos said in an interview.
*phillips would also be willing to donate organs to other individuals if it's not possible to help his relatives, his attorneys said in a Monday letter to the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
Ohio prisons agency spokeswoman JoEllen Smith declined to comment.
"Ron is making this generous request without any conditions or expectations," according to the letter obtained by The Associated Press.
Phillips was sentenced to die for the rape and death of his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter in Akron in 1993.
The 40-year-old man is scheduled to die Thursday by an untried injection of a sedative and painkiller that has never been used in a U.S. execution.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich last week rejected Phillips' request for mercy, and Lagos said Phillips has dropped all his appeals.
Phillips' mother has kidney disease and is on dialysis and his sister has a heart condition, the letter said.
Phillips' lawyers note Ohio has stopped using two drugs that damaged an innate's organs — one a paralyzing agent, the other a drug that stops the heart.
On Thursday, Ohio plans to use midazolam, a sedative, and hydromorphone, a painkiller. It was not immediately clear Monday what effect those might have on organs.
An Ohio State surgeon who has closely studied lethal injection says donated organs typically come from people who are brain dead but still have heart beats and are breathing with the help of a respirator. Phillips would not fit this category, said Dr. Jonathan Groner in an email.

CRIME
Two charged in connection with Texas shooting
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Family and friends console each other outside a home in Cypress, Texas, the morning after two people were killed and 19 were injured when gunfire rang out at a house party. Willie Young, 21, and Randy Stewart, 18, were arrested Monday.
HOUSTON — Two suspects have been charged in connection with a shooting at a house party in suburban Houston that left two teenagers dead and injured 19 others, authorities announced Monday.
PARKSIDE ISLAND MUSEUM
Investigators said they still believe the deadly shooting started as a result of celebratory gunfire, despite court documents that seem to indicate the incident started when the suspects shot at two individuals before then firing into the crowd.
Willie Young, 21, and Randy Stewart, 18, were arrested Monday morning, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Young is charged with deadly conduct, while Stewart is charged with aggravated assault. Bail for each suspect was set at $250,000. Court records did not indicate whether Young or Stewart has an attorney.
The victim killed at the scene has been identified as 17-year-old Queric Richardson. The 16-year-old girl who died at a hospital was identified as Arielle Shepherd.
Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia had previously said Saturday's shooting in Cypress, an unincorporated area about 25 miles northwest of Houston, began when someone fired a pistol in the air in celebration. In the ensuing confusion, someone else began firing into the crowd, causing people to flee into the narrow street, Garcia said. Officials said more than 100 people were at the party, which was promoted openly on several social media sites.
According to probable cause affidavits for Young and Stewart, two of the people at the party say the suspects initially began firing at them.
Dominic Adams said that after Stewart entered the home, Stewart "pulled out a handgun, pointed it at him and discharged the weapon."
Adams "was struck in the arm. (Adams) stated that the defendant began randomly shooting into the crowd," according to Stewart's probable cause affidavit.
The affidavit related to Young presented a similar scenario. Jamario Wilson, another party-goer, told investigators that he saw Young in the home's living room when Young pulled out a handgun and began firing in his direction. Wilson said that Young also began "randomly shooting" into the crowd. It didn't appear that Wilson was injured.
Both Adams and Wilson said they knew the suspects "from the neighborhood."
Harris County Sheriff's Office spokesman Alan Bernstein said investigators do not believe that people were hunted down or singled out in the house. He said evidence, including bullet holes on the ceiling, supports the belief that everything began with the
celebratory gunfire.
"Someone in a crowd of people that is randomly being fired upon is probably going to see a weapon pointed at them randomly. ... That does not mean they believe they were singled out and it doesn't mean we believe the shooter singled them out," he said.
but the charge was later dropped. Monday's arrests came on the same day that school officials said security will be boosted and grief counselors provided for students at the school where both slain teens were enrolled.
Young and Stewart might face additional charges and additional suspects might be sought, Bern
stein said.
in a statement, Katy school district Superintendent Alton Frailey said Richardson was a junior and Shepherd was a sophomore at Morton Ranch High School.
In September, Stewart pleaded guilty to making a terroristic threat — a misdemeanor — after being part of a group that in December assaulted and then threatened to kill a student at Cypress Woods High School. Stewart was sentenced to five days in jail. Last month, Stewart was charged with check forgery. Young was arrested earlier this year for evading arrest

Five rural Colorado counties vie for secession from state
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AKRON, Colo. — The nation's newest state, if rural Colorado residents had their way, would be about the size of Vermont but with the population of a small town spread across miles of farmland. There wouldn't be civil unions for gay couples, legal recreational marijuana, new renewable energy
standards or limits on ammunition magazines.
After all, those were some of the reasons five counties on the state's Eastern Plains voted on Election Day to approve the creation of a 51st state in the first place. Secession supporters know the votes were symbolic, designed to grab the attention of a Democratic-controlled Legislature. They
say the vote results emphasize a growing frustration in conservative prairie towns with the more populous and liberal urban Front Range, which has helped solidify the Democrats' power.

County, which voted to罢免.
The five counties share borders, covering about 9,500 square miles and have a combined population of about 29,200. Four of the counties — Phillips, Yuma, Kit Carson and Cheyenne — border Kansas. They are solidly Republican areas that have long identified more with Kansas and Nebraska because of their agricultural background.
Other parts of the state, meanwhile, have grown. More than 80 percent of Colorado's 5 million residents live on the Front Range. The counties that voted to secede currently only have two state representatives and one state senator
Towns like Akron, population 1,700, were founded in the 1880s along railroads and thrived as agriculture producers, booming in the 1900s during grain shortages They began a decline in 1920s that continued through the Dust Bowl and their populations have decreased or remained stagnant since then.

Sexual assault policies should empower victims to report
It's 2013, and we're still explaining to college students what consensual sex is. If somewhere down the road someone failed to inform you that a person incapacitated by drugs or alcohol is unable to consent to sex, then you might need to reassess the legality of your one night stands.
In regards to the recent Al Jazeera article and the noise surrounding alcohol-assisted rape on campuses, I agree that universities need to crack down harder on these violent crimes by changing policies to better educate consent and alcohol-use, while implementing harder sanctions on offenders, especially when the statistics read one in four women are victims of completed or attempted sexual assault in college. As important as this conversation is, however, I feel as though it's steering away from a discussion about the victims.
According to the Department of Justice, 95 percent of sexual assault attacks go unreported. So my question is this: why aren't these victims coming forward?
Nine out of 10 sexual assault victims know their offenders, according to a study conducted by the University of Mississippi on sexual violence against college women.
women.
According to the Atlantic's Caroline Kitchener, "Almost a third [of offenders] are a close friend," and "41 percent of the time, the perpetrator is the victim's boyfriend."
Unlike what rape myths stereotype, sexual assault offenders are hardly ever strangers, and that's a huge factor for victims to consider when faced with this dilemma of reporting.
After interviewing "ten women from colleges across the United States who experienced sexual assault in college but didn't report it," Kitchener points out another reoccurring factor in unreported cases — fear of how the offender's punishment would affect them.
Kitchener writes that "if a victim reports and the perpetrator ends up expelled or even just suspended — that victim risks facing social stigma from a company that doesn't want to

believe her." It's this and the fear of "ruining the [offender's] life" that deters victims from coming forward, which is interesting to note in light of recent discussions on sexual assault in college.
Slate Magazine's Amanda Hess cited a recent Wayne State University study on date rapists in order to relay why colleges should crack down on sexual assault by making examples out of previous offenders.
According to the study, "If the costs of sexual assault are obvious, undesirable and immediate, then intoxication-driven sexual assaults are less likely to occur because the potential perpetrator cannot forget about the likely, undesirable consequences." Antonia Abbey, the psychologist who conducted this study, writes, "This suggests that colleges need strong, consistent, well-publicized policies that no one can ignore."
So when Duke University an
nounced in early July that it would be increasing its sanctions for students found guilty of first-time sexual assault from suspension to expulsion, it was in the same line of thinking as Hess and Abbey.
Under this new policy, however as pointed out by Kitchener, in the event an alcohol-assisted rape occurs, the likelihood of a victim remaining silent will most likely increase.
What Kitchener and Know Your IX and Yale graduate Alexandra Brodsky advise is that colleges implement a policy in which a conversation with the victim is had in regards to her offender's punishment. Brodsky would like to see administrators check with victims first before assigning any punishments — something similar to what you see in restorative justice programs.
justice programs.
According to Kitchener, the victim is often disregarded in the school's handling of a sexual assault. For example, once a sexual assault is reported to administrators at Duke, "the case is out of [the victim's] hands." This causes
an internal struggle because, as mentioned earlier, the offenders are typically a friend, acquaintance or boyfriend.
That being said, it's important that university administrators come down hard on offenders because, as Kitchener and Brodsky point out, most sexual assault victims don't want to see their offenders on campus and be reminded of the trauma they faced.
Yes, we need better consent education and harsher punishments to make examples of offenders in order to crack down on sexual assault, but in the case that sexual assault occurs, universities must find a way to encourage victims to feel comfortable in speaking up about their attacks. That is true whether it be through some sort of restorative justice program or another option.

'Oscar Wao' explores detrimental effects of love in two relationships
Often, we learn the most from literature when we struggle to make
sense of it. Recently, I experienced this reading Junot Diaz's "The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao." "Oscar Wao" is a deeply personal tale narrated in a unique voice by Yunior, a Dominican-American. The beautiful storytelling and authentic voice alone merit reading this Pulitzer prize-winning novel. In it, we are invited to consider what being "cursed" might mean, to learn about the backward politics of the Dominican Republic, and to experience Oscar's story through Yunior's unique perspective. Most significantly, the novel made me think about the important love in others
Oscar's all-consuming love for females is the first thing we learn about him: "He had secret loves all over town... about whom he could not stop dreaming." The catch-22, of course, is that Oscar is an overweight "nerdboy" whose zeal for science fiction is only surpassed by his infatuations, which almost never come to fruition. In contrast, Yunior is constantly succeeding in new conquests; however, his cheating tendencies prevent him from developing a solid long-term relationship. Through these characters' relationships, Diaz explores the consequences of loving and neglecting love.
By Jason Bates
jason.s.bates@gmail.com
The way Oscar and Yunior love is ultimately a character flaw that causes them considerable pain. In Oscar's case, he loves a woman so blindly, that (spoiler alert!) it leads to his death. On the other hand, Yunior finds a woman that is perfect for him, but loses her
because of his lack of commitment. Yunior sums up the extent of his emotional damage when he says, "She was the kind of girlfriend God gives you young, so you'll know loss the rest of your life."
The women of the novel also experience their own struggles with love and relationships; I choose to look at Oscar and Yunior because they are juxtaposed as foils to one another at either end of a spectrum. Their experiences apply regardless of gender roles — one loves completely and illogically to the point of self-effacement, while the other fails to invest enough love in someone. Do you identify more with Oscar or Yunior? Is the behavior of one more right than the other? I've struggled to answer these questions myself. Take a step back and extend these questions to the love we show not only in a romantic sense, but also to our friends and family.
At first, I was tempted to see Oscar as a Christ-like figure. He loved so much that he died for it. But this is an oversimplification; I now see Oscar as a flawed, tragic hero whose love, though completely consuming, was blind and reckless. At the same time, Oscar's commitment is something Yunior could have used to grow a better relationship. I'm quicker to condemn Yunior's behavior, perhaps because I can see examples in my life when I've regretted letting a relationship fall by the wayside.
Oscar's story scares me. He loved a woman so much that he kept coming back despite repeated rejections and a near-mortal beating from her ex-boyfriend's thugs. She later accepts him and the thugs finish the job. Was it worth it for Oscar? For her? For Oscar's family and friends that also love him? I think Oscar's fault lies in that he used up all of his love on one person, leaving others like his family, friends, and self out of the picture. Thus he neglects people that need him, just like Yunior does.
In the end, we have a finite amount of love to give; perhaps the wise choice would be to give all of it that we can to those that need it most. Both Oscar and Yunior suffer, and I don't think there's an easy answer that would prevent them, or us, from suffering. In spite of this, renewed commitment is what heals that suffering — later Yunior finds someone else to love and seems to avoid his past mistakes to lead a happy life. The importance of learning from past mistakes and of continued perseverance may be the best things that can be learned about love from Diaz's novel. Diaz is speaking at the University of Kansas next week on Monday, Nov. 18th. Please consider attending.

RELIGION
Roman Catholic Church alienates today's youth
The Catholic Church in 2013 is one of the most polarizing institutions in the world. Record lows of young people all across the globe identify with the faith. Even in predominantly Catholic countries in Europe and Latin America, the Church is seen unfavorably by vast numbers of young people. In the United States, the picture is a little different as Catholics aren't a majority, yet millions of youth brought up in the religion come to view the faith with indifference, confusion or antipathy. The reasons are more complex than much of the commentary on the subject has let on.
Recently, I found myself attending a mass, something I hadn't done — except on holidays — in a number of years. I should mention that I was raised Catholic, or rather that I attended a Catholic grade school and high school. I didn't care for it. Now that I'm 25 and about to finish my undergraduate career (yes, I'm a bit old) it seems like forever ago. But what amazed me about my unintentional return visit was, despite a stark divergence from the perspective I held for a long time, just how little had changed about it.
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK How do you religion w
From all the hundreds of masses I attended as a child and adolescent, and the relatively few I've attended as a young adult, the strongest feeling that has persisted is a sense of compulsory adherence. Granted, I wasn't able to articulate this feeling when I was a kid, but I was acutely aware of it last Sunday. I strongly suspect I'm not the only one who feels this way; that you are taking part in a ritual that was repeated and finalized hundreds of years before your grandparents were born. You are expected to stand and recite the Nicene Creed (a rather long prayer that details all aspects of the Catholic faith) before you are even capable of fully understanding it. The belief that, yes, the Eucharistic wafers and wine are actually the flesh and blood of a man who died two millennia ago and it's not merely symbolic.
All of this doesn't even touch on the broader public issues that have caused such a strong divide between the faithful and skeptical. It's worth mentioning that, although women are permitted to become nuns, they are still considered lay people, meaning they are not clergy and have little to no official power in shaping Church policy. I agree with those that find this to be outdated and misogynistic. And we're all aware of the Church's outspoken stances on abortion and birth control, which often result in anger and mistrust from those who feel it is an abuse of stature for any religious institution to instruct its members on how to think about complicated issues. Dittic for the recent controversies surrounding the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa and the Church's attitude toward gay rights.

"Please God Don't Let Anything Inappropriate Come On My Screen: Watching Netflix While In Budig Hall" an autobiography by me.
By Eric Schumacher eschumacher@kansan.com
For all of this criticism and more that hasn't been discussed here, I remain sympathetic to those who cherish Catholicism and rise to its defense. In the broader conversation, there are significant points that often go overlooked, such as the fact that the Catholic Church is directly responsible for a huge portion of the world's charity work- something manyhumanist organizations struggle to match. Stances on many social issues notwithstanding, the Church is also a vocal opponent of the death penalty and has been relatively progressive when it comes to accepting scientific consensus.
Despite my own feelings about the Church and what it might mean to "be Catholic," I respect what it means to the millions around the world who identify with it. To some, it's about the community one is connected to through their parish. For others, it's about the direction and strength they find in their spirituality. I can't take anything away from that. Maybe I'll find my own way to it one day. But for now, the attitudes and policies that made me doubtful as a kid and teenager are even more prominent, and I feel like nothing short of a stranger in the land of Catholicism.

'Thor' tops Marvel franchise films
The newest film in the Marvel franchise starts slowly, but eventually.
Marvel franchise starts slowly, but eventually, through the use of wonderful characters, amazing acting and terrific twists. "Thor: The Dark World" comes out on top. Opening with yet another threat to the entirety of civilization, this sequel follows Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) as they travel together in order to save everything from the Aether, which the Dark Elf Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) is hoping to gain complete power and control of. Of course, by the end of the film it seems as though the good guys have yet again won, although, as is common in Marvel films, things are not always as they seem

the plot that makes the film so enjoyable. Rather, it is Loki, with his continual character development, who steals the show. Loki's character is so dynamic in this film that he makes up for the lack of strong characters elsewhere. Thor is strong and beautiful, as always, while Jane is mostly just beautiful. What is missing from this particular sequel is more character development from these two. Thor, by the end, seems to have learned a little bit

more, but as far as Jane goes, she seems to almost become a useless character, other than the fact that Thor is in love with her. She is not able to fight her own battles and seems to stumble across the major discoveries that happen on her part, and only stumbles upon them with the help of her co-workers.
Another major point missing from the film is the assistance of S.H.I.E.L.D. While mentioned quite a few times, and even referenced by Loki at one point, they never come to help our heroes - even in the final major battle scene. Have they given up on Thor? Or was it just an oversight, seeing as The Avengers 2 is on the way and "The Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D" is currently on air? That is one of the questions we might never get the answer to. Despite all the little hiccups, the film is a success overall. The plot is fun and intriguing, the jokes are spot-on and the addition of new characters is perfect, but the film still gives enough screen time to the old favorites. I would not only recommend this film for fans of the Marvel Universe, but really for anyone looking for an entertaining and enjoyable film.

NEW YORK (AP) — Police say a musician who shot and killed three other tranrian men inside a New York City apartment before committing suicide was upset because he had been kicked out of an indie rock band.
Ali Akbar Mohammadi Rafie gunned down the men just after midnight on Monday.
Victims Soroush and Arash Farazmand were brothers who played in a band called the Yellow
Dogs.
Police said Raffie had been kicked out of the Free Keys last year in a dispute over money.
The third victim, Ali Eskandarian also was a musician.
After the shooting, investigators found a guitar case on a rooftop they believe the shooter may have used to carry the assault rifle used in the attack.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — There is a place where Snoopy frolics carefree with the scandalous Yellow Kid, where Pogo the possum philosophizes alongside Calvin and Hobbes. It's a place where Beetle Bailey loafs with Garfield the cat, while Krazy Kat takes another brick to the noggin, and brooding heroes battle dark forces on the pages of fat graphic novels.
That doesn't even begin to describe everything that's going on behind the walls of the new Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum on the Ohio State University campus, opening to the public Saturday.
"This is the stuff that makes me drool," says Jim Borgman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist who now draws the "Zits" newspaper comic strip. "I enjoy art of all kinds, but it's as if cartoons were segregated for many years and not allowed into such hallowed halls. And this is kind of a moment of setting things right, I think, giving cartooning its due when it has been in the wings all these years."

The whole thing started with Milton Caniff, the influential
Caniff graduated from Ohio State and loved the place so much that he wanted his original art and other papers to be kept here forever. He handed it all over to the university in 1977. Along with library curator Lucy Shelton Caswell, Caniff then began urging his cartoonist friends to do the same. Two classrooms in
the journalism building soon began to fill with the new comics archive.
"Prior to that, most universities ignored that type of popular culture." says
says it's the largest collection of cartoon art and artifacts in the world.
The museum has originals from everyone from Richard Outcault — whose "Yellow Kid" in a 19th century comic strip spawned the term "yellow journalism" — to Charles Schulz ("Peanuts"), classic "Pogo" story lines from Walt Kelly, Garry Trudeau's "Doonesbury," Chester Gould's "Dick Tracy," early "Blondie" strips from Chic Young and the entire collection of Jeff Smith,

Today, the museum collection includes more than 300,000 original strips from everybody who's anybody in the newspaper comics world, plus 45,000 books, 29,000 comic books and 2,400 boxes of manuscript material, fan mail and other personal papers from artists. The university

30,000-square-foot home in a high-profile corridor of the sprawling Columbus campus, into a space renamed for Ireland, the former editorial cartoonist for The Columbus Dispatch who was one of the pioneers of the art form. His family donated a big chunk of money for the project.
The new place has also got what's been missing at the museum's two previous campus locations: a large gallery space for permanent and rotating exhibitions of comics and cartoon art that will finally give it the air of a
proper museum.
Brian Walker, who collaborates on the "Beetle Bailey" and "Hi and Lois" newspaper strips created in the 1950s by his 90-year-old father, Mort, is putting together one of the first exhibits.
"I told my father, this is what we've all been working for for 30 years," says Brian Walker, who has written or contributed to three dozen books on the history of comics. "It's kind of like the ultimate dream that we hoped would happen someday, where all this great artwork is being kept safely and archived and made accessible to the public."
It's partly because of the Walkers that the museum is what it is today. They held thousands of original comics and artifacts donated to the Mort Walker-founded International Museum of Cartoon Art in Boca Raton, Fla. When the museum ran into financial trouble during the recession, the Walkers were persuaded in 2008 to donate the entire collection, which included 200,000 original strips, to Ohio State.
About a decade before, the museum got the entire collection of the defunct San Francisco Academy of Comic Art, which included 2.5 million clipped newspaper comic strips and Sunday color comics.

Pacers remain undefeated with victory over Memphis
ASSOCIATED PRESS
---
INDIANAPOLIS — Eight straight wins are not enough for the perfect Pacers.
They have far bigger plans.
they have in bigger plans.
The NBA's last unbeaten team remained undaunted Monday night, getting 23 points from Paul George and the first triple-double of Lance Stephenson's career to run past Memphis 95-79 and complete a brutal five-game in seven-day stretch with a sweep.
Indiana extended its fran- chise-best start to 8-0, becoming the seventh team to achieve the feat since 2000 and the 18th team in league history to start a season 8-0, according to STATS.
"Everything we're shooting for is attainable, but we've got a long way to go, a lot of work to do," coach Frank Vogel said. "It was probably our most complete game."
The Pacers made no secret of this season's plan — dethroning two-time defending NBA champion Miami. The best way to do that, they figured, was earning the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and so far, nobody has been able to touch them. The Pacers already have a 3½-game lead over Miami and Atlanta in the East.
indiana is showing no sign of slowing down, either.
Rather than look fatigued after back-to-back wins last Tuesday and Wednesday and two more back-to-back wins Friday and Saturday, something Vogel said he had never been part of previously, the Pacers appeared to get stronger Monday.
They again dominated the glass, outbounding Memphis 30-15 in the first half and finishing with a 45-32 advantage. They again relied
on sufficating defense, which held Memphis (3-4) to a season-low point total and nearly 20 points below its season scoring average (98.5). And again they were content to share the honors.
George scored seven points during a key 9-3 stretch to close out the third quarter. That gave Indiana a 72-55 lead.
Stephenson, who is playing the best basketball of his career, finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds, a career-high 12 assists and
"Everything we're shooting for is attainable, but we've got a long way to go, a lot of work to do."

only one turnover. Roy Hibbert added five more blocks to his league-leading total (35), George Hill finished with 13 points in his third game back from a hip injury and Luis Scola added 12 points off the bench.
Indiana could be making things even tougher for opponents soon, too. Vogel said before the game that former All-Star Danny Granger, who once led the Pacers in scoring for five straight seasons, will begin working out Tuesday and could return to practice as soon as Wednesday. Vogel did not say when Granger would return to the rotation. Granger has not played this season because of a strained left calf.
For now, though, fans seem content with the way things are going. During the final minutes, they
But the Pacers aren't content with that.
even serenaded Paupers players with chants of "un-de-feat-ed."
"We are not looking at this 8-0 start," said George, the NBA's Most Improved Player last season. "We want to enjoy it, but we must let our strengths continue to lead us to victory. Everybody helps everybody is doing their job." For Memphis, it was a rough night.
Marc Gasol, who showed his frustration at times during the second half, finished with 15 points and six rebounds. The only other Memphis players to reach double-figures were two guys with Hoosier State ties — Zach Randolph had 12 and Mike Conley added 11.
The Grizzlies shot just 41 percent from the field and were only 6 of 19 from 3-point range, and after a 15-3 run put Memphis in an 80-55 deficit just 83 seconds into the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies never had a chance.
"They're the best defensive team in this league, they really compress the paint, it was hard for any of us guards to get in there and make anything happen," Conley said. "They've got a lot of length, they've got great guards that play great 'D' and they made us take contested shots."
The Pacers jumped to a 13-8 lead in the opening minutes, scored the final six points of the first quarter to make it 23-16 and then methodically pulled away in the second. Though Memphis closed to 46-39 at halftime, the Pacers put it away with the spurt spurred by George and Stephenson that eventually made it 80-55.

CHICAGO — Derrick Rose had 16 points before leaving in the fourth quarter with an apparent injury, and the Chicago Bulls pulled away from the Cleveland Cavaliers for a 96-81 victory on Monday night.
Chicago opened a 13-point lead on Boozer's fadeaway jumper with 8:08 left in the third, but Cleveland slowly whittled away at the advantage. Irving made a jumper for his first field goal and Tyler Zeller had a rebound basket in his first action of the game, trimming the Bulls' lead to 64-60 entering the final

period.
Carlos Boozer scored 17 points and reserve Mike Dunleavy Jr. added a season-high 16 for Chicago, which went 24 for 26 at the free-throw line. Luol Deng finished with 12 points.
It was a one-point game early in the fourth before the Bulls started to take control. Dunleavy had seven points during a 9-1 run that made it 87-76 with 2:10 remaining.
Dunleavey then had a steal and a pass ahead to Deng for a fast-break dunk that extended the lead to 91-77 lead with 1:07 left.
Rose was selected No. 1 overall in the 2008 draft and won the NBA Rookie of the Year award. Irving pulled off the same feat in 2012, but the dynamic point guards had never played against each other in the pros. Rose missed all of last season following left knee surgery, and Irving also has dealt with some injuries.
Irving's 39 points in a 127-125
Bynum missed all of last season with Philadelphia due to surgery on both knees and signed with Cleveland in July. The 7-footer played 21 minutes in his longest stint on the court since joining the Cavs.
Cavaliers center Andrew Bynum had 11 points and six rebounds in his first start since April 22, 2012, for the Lakers against Oklahoma City. Anderson Varejao was in the lineup about a half-hour before the game, but it was Bynom on the floor for the tip-off.
double overtime victory against Philadelphia on Saturday night only increased the hype for his first matchup with Rose, but their initial meeting was pretty much a dud, at least as far the individual duel was concerned.
Irving was scoreless until he made two free throws with 1:36 left in the first half and missed his first six shots. Rose also had a slow start, going 3 for 9 in the first half for six points.
At least Irving took care of the ball. Cleveland committed 12 turnovers in an ugly first half, leading to 17 points for Chicago. Waiters had four of the miscues, helping the Bulls to a 45-36 lead at the break.
NOTES: Chicago won three of four games against Cleveland last season. The Bulls have won the season series against the Cavs for three straight years ... Duke plays Kansas on Tuesday night at the United Center, so Blue Devils coach Mike Krzzyzewski brought his team to the game. Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau also worked with Krzzyzewski with USA Basketball. "He's a fantastic leader. Just terrific." Thibodeau said. "To achieve the way he's achieved throughout his career, that's the mark of greatness."

THE MORNING BREW
Winning a conference game top priority
While the next three Kansas football games are considered the final fourth of the 2013 season, for conversation's sake, consider them part of next year's schedule.
By Daniel Harmsen
dharmsen@kansan.com
I say this for a few reasons. First, with a 42-6 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday, Kansas' bowl probabilities were wiped clean after falling to 2-7 (0-6 in the Big 12) on the year. It would have been nothing short of euphoric to watch this team play in late December or early January after the past five seasons. But if we take a collective step back to reality, winning a conference game was a top priority coming into the season.
Kansas still has an opportunity to accomplish that goal. As much as it is in our nature to write off a victory over a hapless opponent late in a bowl-less season, a win or two late in the 2013 season should not be taken lightly. Beating one or more of the next three opponents will only springboard this program into a critical 2014 season with optimism and, more importantly, confidence.
Secondly, if you haven't noticed, coach Charlie Weis is gradually breaking freshman quarterback Montell Cozart into the Kansas offense like a young ballplayer would a new Wilson glove. In the past four games, Cozart has seen more playing time. And while he has taken his lumps, Saturday's game gave Kansas a glimpse of what he could bring to the table. Kansas rushed for 202 yards in the loss, and while Cozart accounted for only 58 of those on the stat sheet, his ability to run the spread options and serve as a decoy before the pitch accounted for more. This makes the Kansas running backs that much more effective. With a backfield as stacked as Kansas' is with Tony Pierson, Brandon Bourbon, is Taylor Cox, Darrian Miller and a few recruits
coming in, Kansas needs a quarterback that can hold the defense accountable and keep plays alive. Coxart does just that.
Finally, Kansas brings back a lot next year. Almost the entire defense, led by junior linebacker Ben Heeney, will return for his senior season. The defense has been victim to poor field position thanks to turnovers on offense and poor special teams play at times. All things considered, this is a pretty solid nucleus that, with a few tune-ups, can be pretty special next fall.
It was a little unfair to judge the lajyhawks by wins and losses through the first nine games of the season. Kansas wrapped up one of the toughest four-game stretches any team has played all year: against No. 18 Oklahoma (lost 19-34), against No. 5 Baylor (lost 14-59, at No. 24 Texas (lost 13-35), and at No. 12 Oklahoma State (lost 2-42). Those four teams combine for a record of 30-5 overall and 20-3 in conference play.
Now that is no longer the case. No more moral victories. No more sugar-coating. From this point forward, the final three games of the 2013 season, and the next 12 in the 2014 season, Kansas' football progress should be measured by wins and losses. Things get more manageable for the layhawks in the next three games. Kansas will play host to 4-6 (2-5) West Virginia this Saturday, then they will travel to Ames, Iowa, to square off with the 1-8 (0-6) Iowa State Cyclones, and will finally put a bow on the 2013 season in the finale against 5-4 (3-3) Kansas State.
THE BREW
Kansas State are winners of their last three games including their most recent performance, an impressive beat down (49-26) of No. 25 Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. The encouraging thing to note is that two of those three
victories came in blowout
fashion against West Virginia and Iowa State - Kansas' next two opponents. The Wildeats' defense is strong and will be a tough matchup for a Jayhawk offense that rarely sees favorable ones. The two-headed monster of Daniel Sams and Jake Waters at quarterback will be tough for Kansas to stop. Running back Jon Hubert has been a nuisance for Kansas fans these past few years, but this could still be a game going into the fourth quarter, and on a cold, late fall day in Lawrence. Who knows what can happen?
With Grant Rohach starting at quarterback in Sam Richardson's absence, the Iowa State offense has had a lot of trouble scoring points in its past four games. The defense hasn't exactly been stellar either. This could be a one-possession game when the Jayhawks meet up with the Cyclones on Nov. 23. Hopefully the football gods
look down kindly on the Hawks, at least out of sheer pity, if nothing else.
West Virginia, on the other hand, can score points, but the sliver of hope comes with Paul Millard, standing in at quarterback for the injured Clint Trickett. Millard threw for 259 yards against Texas in the Mountain-eer's overtime defeat this past Saturday, but he also threw two critical interceptions. An opportunistic Kansas defense could have a
day against the junior and make things a little interesting. Led by safety Isaiah Johnson with four,who has four interceptions, Kansas defense has forced 10 interceptions and will look to add to that number on Saturday.
The fact is that the past four Kansas opponents average 41.3 points per game and allow only 20.3, while the next three opponents average only 27.2 points per game and allow 30.6. You could make the argument that the past four teams have the unfair advantage of having faced the Kansas Jayhawks, but what would be the fun in that? I'm trying to make things interesting. These next three games are the beginning of a new era for Kansas Football, and should catapult this team forward into next year. 2014 Destination: Bowl Game.

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
ever since Andrew Wiggins chose Kansas and Jabari Parker signed with Duke, the Champions Classic hard-felt if it could become the

Andrew Wiggins
two years ago.
PLAYER TO WATCH
All eyes will be on Andrew Wiggins as he makes his national television debut. At least for one night he will get to take a break from the hype and show what he can do in college basketball.
QUESTION MARK
Will there be as many foul calls tonight as there were last Friday?
PAGE 9
Fans for either team won't want to watch their squads play a game of horse to decide the outcome. If the officials make this another 50-call affair, this may not be a pleasant game to watch.
BY THE NUMBERS
16 Points by Andrew Wiggins in his college debut
53. 5 Kansas field goal percentage against Louisiana Monroe
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF..
Kansas pulls out a victory. The Jayhawks have yet to steal a win in the Champions Classic and you can be sure they don't want to go 0-3. A loss wouldn't derail the season but bragging rights talk the loudest at this point in the year.

KANSAS 1-0,(0-0) STARTERS
Tharpe
PETER ADELEY
Naadir Tharpe, Guard
After serving his single game suspension, Naadir Tharpe returns to the lineup to face Duke in his regular season debut. Tharpe will be relied upon to keep the Kansas offense flowing and use his experience to calm down some of the younger players on the United Center floor.
★★★☆☆
Seldon
BETWEEN THE HANDS
Wayne Seiden Jr., Guard
We still haven't seen close to the best of Selden, but after playing point guard for a large portion of the game against Louisiana-Monroe we should at least see more consistency out of him as a pure shooting guard against Duke. He will need to be more efficient from the line, however. The Jayhawks can't afford to miss any free points.
Wiggins
This game may very well come down to Wiggins' performance. As the No. 1 overall recruit in last year's class, Wiggins will face off against Jabari Parker, the No. 2 overall recruit, in a matchup that's been hyped since May. Perhaps the national audience will bring out the best in both players.
Andrew Wiggins, Guard
★★★★★
Thornton

Ellis
★★★★★
M. JOHNSON
With as smooth a finish as Ellis possess he should be able to get some good looks at the basket tonight and own the offensive paint. Ellis has scored in double digits each time out this season and will be asked to do the same against Duke.
Perry Ellis, Forward
Tarik Black, Forward
Black
D. K. LEE
★★★★
Black's play has been hindered by foul trouble in his first few matchups with his new team. His experience is crucial to the Jayhawks and will be key in such a high-profile matchup. Kansas would hate to see him sit, although the bench is deep enough to make up for it.
★★★★
DUKE
1-0, (0-0)
STARTERS
Tyler Thornton, Guard
Cook
The only starter not to reach double digits against Davidson, Thornton is part of a crowded backcourt that includes sophomore Rasheed Sulaimon and freshman Matt Jones. Don't be surprised if Sulaimon gets the start after a 20-point performance against Davidson on 6-for-9 shooting. Thornton, meanwhile, has averaged around six points in the Blue Devils' three games (including exhibition) and hasn't been a major part of the offense.
KU
D
★★★☆★
Prediction:
Quinn Cook, Guard
Cook sizzled against Davidson, finishing with 21 points, eight assists and zero turnovers. One of the best point guards in the Atlantic Coast Conference, he ranked second in the ACC last season in assists per game and assist-to-turnover ratio. Not just a passing guard, Cook has gone 5-for-10 from three-point range this season.
Duke 84, Kansas 78
---
Hood
★★★★★
10
Rodney Hood, Forward
Hood has led the Blue Devils in scoring in every game, averaging nearly 21 points per contest. The redshirt sophomore transfer only missed one field goal against Davidson as he posted 22 points on 9-for-10 shooting to go along with nine rebounds and two blocks. At 6-foot-8, Hood can play in the post but can also shoot from long range.
★★★★★
Amile Jefferson, Forward
BASKETBALL
★★★★
Other than Andrew Wiggins, Parker has received more attention than any other freshman. Like Hood, Parker is an all-around player who can attack the rim or pull up and shoot a jump shot. He tied Hood with 22 points against Davidson and did so on 80-percent shooting — including a perfect 3-for-3 from three-point-range. He will look to drive the ball first and has a knack for getting to the free throw line, where he has been 18 times already this season.
Jabari Parker, Forward
At 6-foot-9, Jefferson will be the center in Duke's undersized front court. He has been an efficient scorer this season, averaging almost 13 points on 76-percent shooting. His most impressive performance came against Drury, in which he logged a double-double with 13 points and 16 rebounds. He only played 11 minutes against Davidson but still ended the night with 10 points on 4-for-4 shooting.

DUKE TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The team plays an up-tempo style and can light up the scoreboard. Duke impressed on Friday, thrashing Davidson 111-77 at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Four players scored at least 20 points while the队 shot 70.4 percent from the floor and 61.9 percent from three-point range. Ranked No. 4 in the country, the Blue Devils were picked by the media to finish first in the ACC ahead of Syracuse and North Carolina.
Quinn Cook
PLAYER TO WATCH
10
The lone returning starter from last season, Cook will be responsible for distributing the ball to Duke's new weapons. The Blue Devils' floor general is one of the few upperclassmen in the lineup and will need to take care of the ball against an athletic Kansas defense.
QUESTION MARK
Who will match up with Perry Ellis at the 4 spot?
Duke essentially starts four guards, so one will be responsible for guarding Ellis down low. This poses an interesting matchup as each player will have an advantage offensively: It will feature Ellis' low-post game against the speed of either Parker or Hood.
BY THE NUMBERS
0 — Number of starters who shot under 50 percent against Davidson
2 Jabari Parker's ranking among Class of 2013 recruits
31 Rodney Hood's ranking among Class of 2011 recruits
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF..
Kansas continues to allow points in the paint. Against Louisiana-Monroe, Kansas was outscored 32-28 in that category. In a game where Kansas has a slight height advantage, the Jayhawks will need to limit points in the paint to neutralize the Blue Devils' long-range shooting ability.

COMMENTARY All foul and no play
By Ben Ashworth bashworth@kansan.com
A duck steps onto the basketball court and the ref cries "fowl!" The duck looks inquisitively at the ref and responds, "I didn't even touch him!"
Cringe-worthy jokes aside, at times it seems that, like this duck, players are being called for fouls simply for being on the court.
In Kansas' closer-than-expected victory over Louisiana-Monroe, the refs called 58 fouls. Thirty one went against ULM, while 27 were called on Kansas. For those of you who are into statistics, that's 1.45 foul calls a minute. If we assume that possessions last about 20 seconds on average, that would suggest there is a foul every other possession.
Redshirt sophomore Jamari Traylor was whistled for three illegal screens within a five-minute span. Freshman Joel Embel got two over-the-back calls on rebounds, seemingly just for being taller than the opposition. Freshman Frank Mason was called for a litany of hand checks that made his first regular season game an under-whelming experience. Fans booed incessantly.
The overall offensive performance in the NCAA was subpar last year, and the NCAA was right to make adjustments. Fans would rather watch a documentary about grain than sit through low-scoring basketball games. But instead of making a reasonable change (lowering the shot-clock to 30 seconds), the NCAA decided to crack down on hand checking.
The NCAA probably envisioned a perfect world where players just stopped putting their hands on opposing players. In this world, there is no crime and Nickelback broke up in 1998. In reality, players play the same kind of defense and get whistled for breathing on the opposition. This leads to games like the Seton Hall and Niagara contest this past weekend, in which the teams endured 74 fouls and 102 free throw attempts.
"There were some [fools] that happened off the ball that didn't have anything to do with anything." Self said. "I don't see how you could have a pretty game when you have 58 fouls. It's fragmented."
This does not seem like an improvement. Coach Bill Self would agree with that sentiment.
This is an especially difficult conundrum for Kansas. Self has always espoused a physical brand of basketball, eschewing zone defenses for a more in-your-face style of man-to-man. Self constantly pressures his team to be aggressive. Now, that strategy may have to change.
"It's kind of an oxymoron. Be aggressive but don't foul." Self said.
"It's kind or an oxymoron. Be aggressive but don't foul," Self said. Instead, Self will need to preach aggressiveness on the offensive end. Once again, this will represent a change to his overall philosophy. Self prefers for his players to create shots for their teammates, rather than for themselves.
Freshman Andrew Wiggins and Wayne Selden have NBA-ready bodies. In order to prevent them from scoring on their drives, defenses will inevitably have to use their hands. If Self makes the proper adjustments, Wiggins and Selden, simply by driving more, could average around 15 free throw attempts combined. For this to be beneficial, Selden cannot emulate his 1-6 performance at the line.
The rule changes are going to slow down the games, eliminate any flow and alienate fan bases.
The silver lining is that Self may be able to use them to his advantage.

COMEBACK KID
Halfback Tony Pierson returns from head injury
mgoodwin@kansan.com
MAX GOODWIN
Pierson has been out with concussion symptoms since the first conference game of the season against Texas Tech on Oct. 5.
Saturday's game against Oklahoma State marked the return of offensive playmaker Tony Pierson for Kansas.
Three weeks later, against Baylor, Pierson returned but was forced to leave the game early when he said he felt dizzy after a long pass play down the sidelines. There didn't appear to be any plays that could have aggravated the head injury.
"Maybe I'm overly concerned, but when the kid is out there for three plays and he feels dizzy

"That's where we get our chunks," Weis said of getting the ball to Pierson in open space. "For other people that's throwing the ball. That's our form of throwing the ball downfield."
Pierson was one of the only bright spots in a Kansas offense that had been struggling even before the injury. Without him on the field, the Jayhawks have had only a few plays of 25 yards or more.

Pierson's speed is a weapon that not every team has on its roster.
"Tony's a really focused player, but he's been out for a while."
Weis went through an offseason of planning a new role for Pierson in the Kansas offense. He is a running back that has lined up as a slot receiver more often than in the backfield.
games the Jayhawks have played this season. Pierson is the only player on the team to have more than 200 receiving yards, with 321
The plan was to find as many opportunities to get Pierson the ball in the open field as possible.
Weis said Pierson's speed and agility give him the potential to turn any play into a big gain, even though he can't sustain the same workload as a player like running back James Sims.
"Tony can't touch it as much as James touches it, but when he touches it and we get him in space that's like our passes," Weis said after the Oklahoma State game.
In his first full game after returning from the concussion Pierson rushed for 80 yards on six carries. He also managed to break a 50-yard run for the Jayhawks' biggest play of the game.
However, Weis said Pierson is still adjusting to being back on the field.
"You could see he wasn't as sharp as he normally is," Weis said. "Tony's a really focused player, but he's been out for a while. I thought, for the first game back, based off being groggy and everything like that, I thought he held up pretty well."

Recap, look ahead at the Big 12 this week
CHRIS HYBL
chybl@kansan.com
1. No. 23 Texas 7-2 (G-0)
Last Week Win 47-40 (OT) vs. West Virginia
This Week Home Win. No. 12 Oklahoma State
Texas was able to escape with a riveting overtime win at West Virginia on Saturday, earning a touchdown in overtime to preserve its place atop the Big 12 standings. But Texas has the toughest schedule remain with two ranked opponents in Oklahoma State, Baylor and Texas Tech in between. The throne is far from safe.
2. No. 4 Baylor 8-0 (5-0)
Last Week: Win 41-12 vs. No. 22 Oklahoma
This Week: Away vs. Texas Tech
When the dust settles, Baylor may be the biggest thing in Texas. Baylor will face the two best teams in the Big 12 with Oklahoma State and Texas ahead, but from the way they absolutely throtled Oklahoma, look out. If the opposing team isn't going to put up at least 30, forget it all. And with national title hopes still alive, Baylor will put everything on the line.
3. No. 12 Oklahoma State
8-1 (5-1)
Last Week. Win 42-6 vs. Kansas
This Week. Away vs. No. 23 Texas
Oklahoma State is still in a position to sneak up on the conference title, but they have the toughest路 of any conference team left. They face the other three best teams in the conference, Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma, all to close the schedule. The key for Oklahoma State will be to keep its offense rolling. They average 40 points a game, but have had the weakest Big 12 schedule up until now.
4. No. 22 Oklahoma 7-2 (4-2)
Last Week: Lose 12-41 vs. No. 4 Baylor
This Week: Home vs. Iowa State
The biggest task for Oklahoma is to look itself in the mirror after taking an absolute beating from Baylor. They've weathered the storm, but it's not exactly clear skies ahead. They do play one of the league's worst, Iowa State, at home this weekend. But a Kansas State team fighting to stay bowl eligible and playing at Oklahoma State, closing the season is nothing to shake a stick at.
5. Texas Tech 7-3 (4-3)
Last Week: Loss 26-49 vs. Kansas State
This Week Home vs. No. A Brayer
Texas Tech has fallen off the wagon.
Texas Tech, a team that started the season 7-0, has lost three in a row since With Baylor and Texas occupying the remaining part of the schedule, it's easy to bet that their slide could continue. Tech still throws the ball the best in the nation, averaging 408.2 yards per game but it's not getting them too far.
7. West Virginia 4-6 (2-5)
Last Week, Loss 40-47 vs. No. 23 Texas
This Week, Away vs. Kansas
6. Kansas State 5-4 (3-3)
Last Week: Win 49-26 vs. Texas Tech
This Week: Home vs. TCU
West Virginia has been beaten and bruised throughout its Big 12 conference stretch. A late win in September against Oklahoma State has kept West Virginia's bowl eligibility alive. West Virginia has the easiest schedule finish ahead, too. Facing the two weakest teams in the Big 12 to close the regular season, West Virginia can't mess up.
Kansas State made a statement over the weekend. A nothing-but-dominant win over formerly ranked Texas Tech came at a crucial time in the season and put the Wildcats back over 500. Kansas State definitely has the ability to finish the season off with a clean sheet, too. TCU and Kansas shouldn't pose much of a threat. The only real hurdle to avoid a no-name bowl game with is No. 22 Oklahoma in two weeks.
8. TCU 4-6 (2-5)
Last Week Win 21-17 vs. Iowa State
This Week: Away vs. Kansas State
TCU was able to keep its bowl hopes alive this past weekend. Iowa State put the game back in the hands of TCU after leading heading into the fourth quarter. Regardless, TCU still has something to play for despite a nasty slide from its national ranking. They have Baylor and I. Kansas State ahead. The odds won't be in their favor, but at least they have something to play for.
The Jayhawks were officially eliminated from bowl eligibility last week, and with that a few nasty streaks live on. Kansas has chance to end things on a good note after stumbling through a rough Big 12 conference start. The rest of the teams on the schedule — West Virginia, Iowa State and Kansas State — are all teams on the bottom half of the Big 12 table. But Iowa State is looking like the only potentially beatable team for Kansas. At least Kansas isn't last.
9. Kansas 2-7 (0-6)
Last Week: Loss 6-42 vs. No. 12
Oklahoma State
This Week Home vs. West Virginia
10. Iowa State 1-8 (0-6)
Last Week, Loss 17-21 vs. TCU
This Week, Away vs. Oklahoma 12-14
Iowa State had a real legitimate chance to pull off its first Big 12 conference win of the season, but they gave away the game. Kansas and Iowa State are likely to occupy the last two spots in Big 12 standings by season's end — they don't have much else to play for. One of them will get a long-awaited Big 12 victory on Nov. 23.

PREDICTIONS
WHY KANSAS WINS
Matchup favors Jayhawks, Wiggins and Ellis will take lead
By Mike Vernon
The Kansan
sports editor
This is the kind of game Bill Self has traditionally lost at Kansas.
Last year, there was the 67-64 loss to Michigan State. The year before Kansas lost 75-65 to Kentucky and 68-61 to Duke.
It's the team's second game. They're relying on a bunch of freshmen. They don't know the system. As Bill Self likes to say, they don't know how to guard yet. Oh, and did I mention the freshmen?
This is No. 5 Kansas and No. 4 Duke. This is Self vs. Krzyzewski. This is Andrew Wiggins vs. Jabari Parker. This is at the Madhouse on Madison, the building with a freaking Michael Jordan statue outside of it.
And this time it will be different for Kansas.
All eyes will gawk at Wiggins.
who will be facing his first notable opponent in his college career. He'll be fired up. This won't be like Fort Hays State. He'll run hard, he'll dunk and he'll dazzle against the Blue Devils.
All the while, Perry Ellis will be the rock. The steady hand of this young Jayhawk basketball team. Wiggins will have the highlight plays, but Ellis will control a Duke team that can't compete with the Jayhawks inside the paint. Ellis' physical play with an impressive finishing ability will be too much for the Blue Devils — and when the Jayhawks can score inside, they often win.
This matchup favors Kansas.
this matchup favors rebates.
Duke's Parker will face Wiggins in the game's most anticipated match-up. Parker is a fast, athletic player who has a post game as well. But he'll be guarded by Wiggins, a faster, more athletic player, who has shown remarkable defensive ability early in his Jayhawk career.
Then there's Rodney Hood, a 6-foot-8-inch, 215-pound bull for the Blue Devils. Hood is another athlete who can score inside and out, and will stretch the Jayhawks' defense. He'll face Ellis, a 6-foot-8-inch, 225-pound scorer with elite
touch around the basket and an impressive ability to run the floor
Those are Duke's two toughest players to defend, and Kansas has the perfect pair to slow them down.
the perfect pair to slow them down. Add in Naadir Tharpe, Wayne Selden and Tarik Black, and the Jayhawks are too talented to let this early season game slip away. The two things that could keep the Jayhawks from winning are carelessness with the ball and a lack of outside shooting. Both Tharpe and Frank Mason look strong at point guard in their small sample size, and the Jayhawks' sharp shooting bench combination of Andrew White III, Brannen Greene and Connor Frankamp should alleviate those outside shooting concerns. Surely one of the three will sink a couple.
Self giped about a lack of defensive energy with his team early Tuesday night against Fort Hays State. That won't be the case guarding players with "DUKE" on their jerseys.
Sure, Self has lost these games in his past at Kansas.
But he hasn't had a team with talent like this.

WHY DUKE WINS
Devils' undeniable history will standout against Kansas
By Daniel Carp
The Duke Chronicle
sports editor
Duke is not always the nation's best team at the end of the season, but the Blue Devils have a knack for coming out ahead of the curve in November.
When No. 4 Duke and No. 5 Kansas finally square off Tuesday in the Champions Classic, the Jayhawks will have a daunting piece of history working against them. Since the 2000-01 season, the Blue Devils have amassed a 73-3 record in the month of November.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski doesn't take nonconference scheduling easily on his teams, either. In an undefeated month of November last season, Duke took down three teams ranked in the top five in the nation—Kentucky, Ohio State and eventual-national champion Louisville. The team's matchup with Kansas this season, albeit a great challenge, represents the common caliber of opponent that the Blue Devils have faced—and regularly beaten—earlier in the season.
Krzyzewski tailors his team's off-season regimen every year to fit its personnel, and this year is no exception. Unlike last year's Blue Devils, this year's team will look to push the ball in transition and defend with full-court pressure, utilizing its length and athleticism on the wings to its advantage.
Duke is rarely the most talented team in the nation heading into each season, but it is always the best prepared. Look for the Jayhawk wings to have trouble keeping up with the likes of Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood, both of whom can spread the floor and pose significant matchup problems.
Kansas will have an undeniable advantage inside heading into this contest. With Joel Embiid, Tarik Black and Perry Ellis manning the middle, Duke could struggle early in the contest to keep up with the Jayhawks on the block. But Hood and Parker have proven to be capable post defenders throughout preseason play, and sophomore Amile Jefferson and his 7-foot-2 inch wingspan could be the team's most important player this season.
Experience plays a role in these games, especially early in the season. Kansas could start three freshmen Tuesday night in Embiid, Andrew Wiggins and Wayne Selden, Jr. Additionally, Black will
be seeing some of his first action with his new team after transferring from Memphis to play out his eligibility. Kentucky's youth struggled with a more experienced Duke lineup last season, and I expect the jayhawks to do the same.
Even without the senior leadership of Mason Plumlee, Ryan Kelly and Seth Curry, the Blue Devils had a number of their younger players play key roles on this team last season. Hood practiced with Duke for the entire season after transferring from Mississippi State, and was often the team's best player on the floor in full-court drills. Parker could struggle under the United Center's bright lights, but he will likely grow into the role of the team's focal point throughout the season with Woo taking the lead for now. Wiggins, however, will be expected to score early and often should Kansas hope to win this game.
If there's one thing you learn when you watch enough Duke basketball, you can't mess with history. The Blue Devils still have a lot of room to grow this season, but they will have what it takes to sneak by Kansas and put the first big victory on their NCAA tournament resume.

FRESH TALENT
PAGE 3
Top players eager to show talent
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
The hype surrounding Andrew Wiggins intensified when the freshman appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated in October, but Duke's top freshman recruit, Jabari Parker, was featured on the cover of SI a year and a half before Wiggins.
The words accompanying the Wiggins cover compared Wiggins to past Kansas greats, Wilt Chamberlain and Danny Manning, but the Parker cover was just as exuberant.
"The best high school basketball player since LeBron James is... Jabari Parker," the cover read.
That was in May of 2012. Wiggins reclassified later that summer. They are likely two of the most talented players to ever come out of the same recruiting class.
On Tuesday, the two will face-off at the United Center in Parker's hometown of Chicago.
"I'm excited for it," Wiggins said.
at Big 12 media day, 21 days in advance of the game. "I know Duke is a legendary team, with a legendary coach, so I'm looking forward to it. There should be some good matchups, a good game."
Both Wiggins and Parker are 6-foot-8-inch wing players with the potential to be national player of the year candidates by the end of the season, and are likely to leave for the NBA Draft after one season in college.
This draft is so full of talent that Jeff Goodman of ESPN reports at least one NBA team is using the strategy of losing this season in order to get a higher 2014 draft pick.
One anonymous NBA general manager reportedly told Goodman and ESPN The Magazine. "Our team isn't good enough to win and we know it. So this season we want to develop and evaluate our young players, let them learn from their mistakes — and get us in position to grab a great player. The best way for us to do that is to lose a lot of
games. This draft is loaded. There are potential All-Stars at the top, maybe even franchise changers. Sometimes my job is to understand the value of losing."
Several online NBA mock drafts, including those from ESPN.com and nbadraft.net, project Wiggins and Parker to be two of the top five players selected. All of this adds more anticipation for Tuesday's game.
The Kansas-Duke matchup was ranked by college basketball writer Jeff Eisenberg of Yahoo Sports as the second "most intriguing nonconference game of the 2013-14 season."
"This half of the Champion's Classic gets a slim nod over Kentucky-Michigan State only because it serves as the nation's first chance to watch Andrew Wiggins play in college." Eisenberg wrote.
It's not the first time the two highly-recruited freshmen will be on the court together. In April, they faced off as opponents in three different high school all-star games.
At the McDonald's All-American game in April, Wiggins scored 19 points and went 6-of-10 from the field, while holding Parker to 4-of-13 shooting with three turnovers.
Kansas freshman Wayne Selden, Jr., also played in that game against Parker.
"He can shoot the ball, he's pretty skilled. He's good." Selden said.
At the Jordan Brand Classic, Parker was named MVP of his team with 16 points and seven rebounds. Wiggins finished with 19 points and five rebounds.
Both players had poor shooting performances in at the Nike Hoop Summit game, especially from behind the 3-point line, and both ended the game with a single digit in the scoring category.
On Tuesday, the game will be official and the stage is set for a national college basketball audience to get its first true look at Wiggins and Parker.

This is test No. 1 for the Jayhawks.
The Duke-Kansas matchup Tuesday features two of basketball's most prestigious programs.
In what would be considered a daunting game for the young Kansas team, the Jayhawks' opponent is just as inexperienced. The Blue Devils lost four starters from last year's team that made the national quarterfinals and will start three underclassmen. The Jayhawks have a completely new starting five and will also start three underclassmen. Looking more closely, these teams are almost identical.
The game features the top two incoming recruits in No.1 Andrew Wiggins and No.2 Jabari Parker, from Kansas and Duke respectively, whose games have many parallels. Both standing at 6 feet 8 inches, they are athletic players who know how to get to the rim but can
also pull up and shoot the open jumper. They create mismatches with their size and quickness.
Before Wiggins reclassified to the Class of 2013, many experts considered Parker to be the number one recruit. A Sports Illustrated cover dubbed Parker the best high school basketball player since LeBron James.
Each team receives big contributions from Division I transfers. Tarik Black came to Kansas after playing three years at Memphis, where he graduated in the spring. Black is the most experienced player on the Kansas roster and will start at center. For Duke, redshirt sophomore forward Rodney Hood transferred from Mississippi State, where he was named to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team in 2011-12. He will start alongside Parker in the frontcourt. Neither player has played a regular season game for his team, but each has taken on a leadership role early
in the season.
Duke and Kansas are led by junior point guards who have a knack for finding their teammates and taking care of the ball. Naadir Tharpe ranked third in the big 12 with a 2.2 assist-to-turnover ratio, and Quinn Cook ranked second in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 2.4 mark.
Even after losing much of their scoring punch from last season's squads, Duke and Kansas head into the season with lofty expectations. Duke is ranked No. 4 according to the Associated Press Top 25 poll and USA Today Coaches Poll. Kansas landed at No. 5 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll and No. 6 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
The Champions Classic is a three-year event that showcases four powerhouses in the college game that each rank in the top ten in total NCAA Tournament victories. Kansas, Duke, Kentucky and Michigan State take turns playing
each other once a year on a neutral court. This will be the final year of the series and will take place at the United Center in Chicago.
Kansas seeks its first win at the Champions Classic. The Jayhawks fell to Kentucky in 2011 in what would be a preview of the national championship game. The next year, the Jayhawks were edged by Michigan State in the final minutes. Duke will try to remain unbeaten at the event after defeating Michigan State in 2011 and Kentucky in 2012.
The Kansas-Duke game will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 8:30 p.m. with the Kentucky-Michigan State contest starting at 6:30 p.m.

Kansas to face pesky Duke
By Doyle Murphy
doylemurphy@usn.com
Kansas senior swim teacher
Kansas needs to exercise some demons.
Korean teams are trying to become more business-like. They want to be as professional as possible. Ducks basketball players, they have bright nighttime players.
Dodger had batman Kramer in six out sweeps meetings between the teams, and coach Roy Williams has never trapped a game against the Blue Devil in his 15 seasons of Kramer, who will try to win when he is outscored by the offensives. Kramer's stats at 81 percent.
But Williams all told no two that Duke coach Mike Krepswein is an impinging opponent. Not only has Coyne K dominated Williams in game competition, he has won nearly every game against a judge, an edge that was a stint of fouls.
I know that two big things are the academic life of it is really difficult. William said at a great confidence. "And then the people, particularly in the East Coast, will think we go to clerical colleges and not be here." I would not be there. I should be out there."

While Krygier defeated a defensive invitation, William hasn't been initially debased. Krause All-American Kenny Collisch chose the Blak emblem with the crimson mark, marketing his team's success on social media. When a tour turn down, Collisch said.

KU wins despite nightmare of 1986 loss
By Harlow Scott
KANAWA CITY, Mo. — The Jay Warrior on one game at Duke was a tide that won the game against his opponents.
On this same game last year, the Oklahoma Sooners will play the Kentucky Wildcats. For most of the Jawasnets, there was no doubt that Duke would win.
To get down, Kannah had to take a shot at Duke's defense. There was this poor performance. Then this pair played well.
The greatest game ever overtaken by Duke in the past year was when the Kansas City Chiefs came up with a great defensive play.
The team served all very well, and they were able to score a few points in the first half. But as the game progressed, the team was unable to find any of its best plays. Duke's defense was not so good during this game, and the team was unable to find any of its best plays.

KU fans recall the celebration after '52 NCAA championship
By Ethel Woodford
It was 11:45 am and talented players from Duke and Kanawa City jumped out of the tunnel to celebrate their victory.
The year was 1983, and the Kansas City Chiefs were playing their first NCAA championship game since 1900. The team was ranked No. 140 in the nation.
Through the years, different teams have played games with the same team. However, the Kansas City Chiefs were the most successful team in the history of Duke football.

Inside Sports Sweet 16 teams feel confident
By Maxx Wolfeen
Arizona Daily Wildcat via U-wire
University of Arizona
TUCSON, Ariz. — Mike Brey must feel a little out of place.
The third-year Notre Dame coach is taking his Fighting Irish team into unfamiliar territory, making its first appearance in the Sweet 16 since 1987.
Meeting him there are three coaches — Duke's Mike Krzegiewski, Kansas Roy Williams and Arizona's Late Olson — whose seasons are considered disappointments if they don't make it past the first weekend of tournament play.
I don't use the 44-year-old feel out of place against the coaching legends 'teams?' Absolutely not.
*"I think that we do belong," said Brey, who reached a gaudy six Pinal Fours in eight years, while winning two titles, as a Duke assistant under Krzewzksi. "We are thought of in that mix now with these three years and the step that we took in Indianapolis."
Even after all the talk came out about how tough the West bracket was. Brey #not concerned. He actually was hoping it would turn out like it did, considering the physical nature of the
teams Noke Dame would ultimately be up against.
"When the bracket came out, every body went off about the West bracket: 'Oh my God, it is loaded,' or whatever?" Brey said. "Before we even played a game, I looked at it and said, 'do like the builds on the teams. It was a lot of basket player balls. There was not the Pittsburgh/ Kentucky bulk in our bracket."
Olson, on the other hand, has said from the start that the West's bracket was the toughest, but his stance shifted slightly Monday when he looked around at the other regions and said there weren't any cakewalks.
"I don't see many soft touches anywhere," Olson said. "It's obvious to begin with that there was a lot of big name schools in the West, but you look at the other regions and you're seeing outstanding teams at each of those sites as well."
But Obson was still surprised at who the two teams are that are scheduled to play after the Wildcats and Irish face off on Thursday.
"To have Roy and 'Coach K' meeting in a Sweet Sixteen game, that's one that you could look at as a national championship game in any other year." Olson said.
Arizona senior Rick Anderson agreed.
"That would be a good Final Four right there," he said about the four teams playing in Anaeheim, Calif. "But it's going to be a big challenge for us."
Brey's Notre Dame team seems to be ready for the challenge ahead, or at least prepared for it. The Irish have five wins over top 10 opponents (Texas, Maryland, Marquette, Pittsburgh and Illinois).
"Playing those teams helped us," Notre Dame senior Matt Carroll said. "We had a very tough schedule, and we realized we can beat any team in the country any given day. And I think that's why we are playing with so much confidence now."
Notre Dame is not the only team with confidence. The 15 other teams still left standing after a wild opening weekend have all won at least two games in a row, and all believe they have a chance to push that streak toward the magic number of six.
So if Arizona's streak gets pushed to three, which team does Arizona senior and floor leader Jason Gardner want to see?
He said he didn't care, but did say,
"I'm sure a lot of people in Tucson want to see Duke."
Only time will tell.
'Cinderella' Butler faces Oklahoma
ALBANY, N.Y. — Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson has seen enough to know Butler is no underdog.
The Associated Press
Although the Bulldogs are the lowest-seeded team remaining in the NCAA tournament — No. 12 in the East — and are in the round of 16 for the first time in 41 years, Sampion also has to glance at the brackets Thursday to unake his point.
"I can see where Cinderella would beat Mississippi State, but Cinderella doesn't come back 24 hours later and beat Louisville," Samson said, pointing to Butler's victories over fifth- and fourth-seeded teams in the first two rounds.
ingham, which is a next-door neighbor.
Cinderella doesn't do those things."
The Buildogs, a bunch of kids from an Indianapolis school with an enrollment of 4,200, know that, too.
"I like that we're here." Butler coach Todd Lickiter said, "If people want to label us, that's fine. You won't get very far unless you think you can. I would never want the players to sell themselves short."
Nobody does that anymore. Butler has become one of the nation's model mid-major programs, winning at least 20 games in each of the last seven seasons. 165 victories this season, against just five losses, broke late year's school record of 25.
came from 15 points behind to beat Louisville-79-71, making 14 of 22 3-pointers. And in the first round, they defeated Mississippi State 47-46 on Brandon Miller's runner in the lane with 6.2 seconds left.
Top-seeded Oklahoma (26-6) is two steps from its second straight Final Four appearance. The winner meets either Syracuse or Auburn on Sunday at Pepsi Arena for a berth in New Orleans.
If the Sooners have a worry for this game, it's Price, who is recovering from a tear in his left groin he sustained in the Big 12 Conference championship game. They made it through the first two rounds without much production from him.
No more demons
Kansas dances past Duke into Elite Eight

Senior forward Nick Collowen bowed over Duke senior forward Danny Jones on the way to the field. Collowen collected 31 and 18 rebounds in second-half games: 19-69 against James.
ANHEIM, Calif. — Every good story needs a hero, and Nick Collinson fit the role perfectly.
The seniors forward met every challenge, fought every battle and simply would not let his team lose in Kansas. 98-69 victory last night against Duke.
The Japhaeks needed him to incarce. Camila made 14-22 shots for 35 points. They needed him to rebound 18 rebounds and make that shot, but that same shot was here again a high-19 bowls.
They needed his defense. He blocked three shots and manned an interior that allowed just 7 second-chance points.
Need something else? He tossed four assists and had a steal to boot.
And it wasn't just the numbers. Collision made plays seemingly on demand. During one crucial stretch, he scored 12 consecutive points, and that wasn't enough, even he took a charge. When his rampage finally ended, Kansas owned a 67-61 advantage and control of the game.
Collison's teammates weren't surprised.
"He's outstanding," said Kansasian forward Jeff Graves after the game. "That why he Nick Collison. He's un-American."
"I had trouble getting the ball in my hands," Hinrich told reporters. "When I did it, I struggled, as well."
What's even more impressive is that Collison led his team to victory on a night when his senior teammate, guard Kirk Hinnick, was never an offensive factor. Hinnick made just 1-6 of 10 shots and finished the day with 2 points.
Hinrich told reporters that a hurt right hand was not to blame for his shooting woes.
"The kids have called Kirk 'Supe'
"I'ts not an issue," he said. "I just stuck my hand out. It's banged up. It's not an issue."
Hitchhikey reluctance to acknowledge the effect of an injury should come as no surprise. His teammates nicknamed him Superman for his toughness and ability to do the seemingly impossible. If those are the qualifications for the man-of-security nickname, Williams said Collison should share the title.

without at least the threat of defeat, and the Blue Devils took care of that.
But no superhero would be complete.
With 24 seconds to play and Kansas riding a 68-14 lead, Duke senior forward Dawntine Hammond scored, cutting the lead 5. The Blue Devils then stole the inbound pass, senior forward Caney Sanders hit another basket, and junior guard Chris Dahon promptly guided Kansas "Aaron Miles." The team had 34 dribble draws and Dale ruled by 4 with the ball and 16 seconds to take another shot at Kansas.
Once again, it was Collison who came to the rescue. He grabbed a final rebound with two seconds to play, ending Duke's rally.
"I'll be proud of this for a long time," Collison said after the game.
The victory moves Kansas into the Elite Eight, where it will face top-towed Arizona at 0.5 p.m. on twnam.

Sherron Collins didn't want to leave Chicago. He didn't want to wear anything but orange and he didn't want to think about being surrounded by wheat fields for four years.
Collins, a former Kansas guard, made his plan. He would make the two-hour trip south to the University of Illinois, where countless other Chicago recruits dream of playing ball, and Patrick Beverley
- currently a starter for the Houston Rockets -would join him. Together the two would collect Big 10 championships and possibly more.
And if it weren't for Collins' mother pleading him to get away from Chicago and Beverley's commitment to Arkansas this might have been the way things turned out.
Even Kansas coach Bill Self was giving Collins reasons to join the Illini, but the more Collins thought about it he felt better off with Self.
"My first time meeting coach Self was incredible," Collins said. "I told my high school coaches he had this swag to him."
Self has always returned to Chicago for talent. Since 2005, Kansas has yet to field a team without a player from the southwest shores of Lake Michigan. When the Jayhawks take on Duke at the United Center on Tuesday, he'll have a chance to show off the product he's built with help from the city of broad shoulders. Just by stepping on the court, the team has already earned at least one victory.
"I don't think because you win a game a kid is going to go to your school," Self said. "I think playing in the area gives you the attention where you can be more visible."
It's not that most kids in Chicago don't pay attention to Kansas, it's that until recently there was hardly a reason to.
When Self took over as head coach, the Jayhawks hadn't recruited any kids from the area since the early 1990's. Two years after taking the job, Self changed that by signing the eighth best high school player in the nation, Julian Wright, a player Self was chasing before he ever considering going to Kansas himself.
"I was already being recruited by him when I was in high school." Wright said. "Possibly due to my collegiate success, I may have sparked confidence in other illinois players to leave their home state and play elsewhere."
"My first time meeting coach Self was incredible. I told my high school coaches he had this swag to him."
SHERRON COLLINS former Kansas guard
At least that was the case for Sherron Collins.
The two had played AAU ball together back in Chicago. Once Self was able to convince Collins to make his first trek to Lawrence, it was up to Wright to show him what the school could do for him
Wright made a simple pitch. He told Collins that basketball is religion here, and that he'll get a chance to show what he can do. But the presence of another Chicagoan was already enough.
"A lot of Chicago guards look up to each other," Collins said. "A lot of people look up to Julian and they see the success he had."
Collins took a few more trips to Champaign, but the atmosphere didn't compare. Kansas felt like home and nothing else mattered.
city. Even before the 2008 National Championship season, the Jayhawks were already becoming a more prominent name in the area.
After Collins' commitment and early success, Kansas, rather Bill Self, became a bigger name in the
First it was Wright, then Collins joined, followed by Mario Little and current Jayhawk Jamari Traylor, each of them being lured to Lawrence by an Aklahoman who made his presence felt with a short stint in Illinois.
"What? You don't think I'm cool?" Self said with a laugh. "You don't think I'm from the hood growing up in Edmond? I've thought I've always related well to most kids. I was around that area and stuff all the time."
Self maintains that if he could only sign players from one area there's no question it would be Chicago.
To help him, Self filled two of his assistant coaching vacancies with some of the best recruiters in the country, Jerrance Howard and Norm Roberts.
Howard played for Self at Illinois and has close ties to Chicago. Between his addition and playing at the United Center, Kansas has never been more relevant to the city. And as is the case with all movements, it just takes one person to get it started.
"Both of those guys, that's what they're known for," Jason King of ESPN said. "They're probably two of the top five in the nation."
"I feel like I followed the trend right behind Julian," Collins said. "Chicago area kids are opening up to Kansas just as quick as they open up to Illinois."

home and an opportunity to play in front of his family.
Tuesday's showdown between Kansas and Duke is an opportunity for coaches to see where their teams are at early in the season against another elite team. For fans, it's a chance to watch two of the best freshmen in the nation go head to head.
"I'm looking forward to the game," Traylor said, "but when I go to Chicago it's going to be nice to play in front of my family and everything back home. Just getting to see my family again for a little short time."
For Jamari Traylor, it's a trip back
Traylor grew up on Chicago's south side, and though he was raised in a city that is recognized
or its basketball tradition, he didn't play organized basketball until he was in high school, making him one of the least experienced players on the Kansas team.
ESPN writer Jason King chronicled the story of Travler's rise from being homeless during his high school years in Chicago to playing basketball at Kansas.
In the article, King writes that Traylor's father is serving a life sentence in an Illinois prison for federal drug-trafficking charges. Traylor's mother struggled to raise Traaylor as he refused to follow direction and ended up spending three weeks in a juvenile detention center.
Traylor's basketball talent was discovered when Loren Jackson, a coach at Fenger High School in Chicago, convinced him to attend a workout. Jackson began to help Traylor and eventually Traylor followed him to Julian High School where he played one season.
Traylor was able to move up the rankings of a Chicago basketball website, and eventually caught the eye of coaches at some of the top basketball programs, including Bill Self.
Traylor averaged 2.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in his redshirt-freshman season. Teammates say his confidence has increased coming into this season. Bill Self said that Traylor had already displayed an offensive improvement after Late Night in the Phog.
Traylor can often be seen on campus and at Kansas athletic events wearing hats featuring the logos of Chicago sports teams, and on Tuesday he will have his first chance to take the floor at the United Center.
"I remember in high school when you get to the big championship games they have them there," Traylor said, "but I never made it there, so it will be my first time playing in the United Center."

The Kansan
basketball writer
visited with Daniel Carp, the sports editor for the Duke Chronicle, to gain some perspective before the anticipated Kansas-Duke matchup. We discussed Parker and Wiggins, frontcourt play and offense vs. defense.
HILLIX: Will Jabari Parker be the go-to guy for Duke this season or will he share that role with someone? What are his strengths?
CARP: Jabari Parker will be one of Duke's go-to guys this season, but expect him to share the spotlight with red shirt sophomore forward Rodney Hood, who will suit up for the Blue Devils for the first time this season after transferring from Mississippi State. Parker's strengths lay in his athleticism and versatility. Offensively, he can work in the post or create off the dribble to knock down open jumpers. The freshman from Chicago has also been a key component for Duke in exhibition play both on the glass and the defensive end, showcasing his ability to get up and block shots and pull down rebounds. Quite simply, this kid can do it all.
How much pressure is going to be put on Andrew Wiggins to perform early in the season?
HILLIX: A lot. Self has done a good job trying to deflect some of the pressure placed on him, but all eyes will be on Wiggins early in the season to see whether he lives up to the enormous hype. Wiggins told Self that he was nervous for the first exhibition contest (in which Wiggins scored 16), so hopefully that game calms his nerves a bit. He won't have to put up 25 points a game for Kansas to be competitive, but he will be relied up to stretch the court and create opportunities for others. Whether he lives up to the billing or not, he will still help the team in numerous ways.

sports editor
With Mason Plumlee departing and so many underclassmen at the forward/center position, is post play the team's biggest weakness this season? If not, what is?
CARP: Post play has always been
the team's biggest concern heading into this season. With the departure of Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kelly to the NBA, the only true center on this year's Duke squad is Mason's younger brother, Marshall, who has battled injuries during his first two collegiate seasons and is still considered to be a long-term project. Sophomore Amile Jefferson will start at the center spot for Duke this season, and though he stands at just 6-foot-9, his 7-foot-2 wingspan should help him defend against larger opponents. The Blue Devils are still looking to figure out whether Hood and Parker are capable of sliding over and covering the five spot, but it looks like for now it will be a team effort down low for Duke—no one player is capable of carrying that load this year.
Kansas has a lot of holes to fill up front this year but still enters the season with one of the top frontcourts in the nation. With a new starting center in freshman Joel Embid and another newcomer in backup Tarik Black, what is the expected learning curve for this group?
HILLIX: With Jeff Withey gone, the Jayhawks lose one of the best shot blockers in the country and someone who altered a high percentage of shots taken in the paint. Embid and Black will be responsible for filling that void.
After the Jordan Brand Classic and the Nike Hoop Summit, Embid vaulted up the recruiting rankings all the way up to the No. 6 overall spot and No. 1 at the center position. That said, he just started playing basketball in high school and is still very raw. At 7-feet and 250 pounds, he is quick with his feet and has the potential to block two or three shots a game. He still has a lot to learn, especially offensively, before Bill Self names him the starter. It's unclear how long it will take, but the Jayhawks are hoping it happens fast.
Signed in late May, Black has been a valuable addition because of his experience and leadership. Expect Black to start until Embiid shows
more progress. Whether he starts or not, Black should play around 20 minutes a game.
What will Duke's identity be this season? Will there be a lot of shooting like in years past?
CARP: Duke teams will always be able to beat you from deep. With a pedigree of some of the best guard play in the country year in and year out, the Blue Devils will hurt any opponent that leaves them open on the perimeter. But this year's Duke squad should be a little less dependent on the 3-point shot because of the pace at which it plans to play this season. This is going to be one of the fastest Blue Devil squads you've seen in quite a few years, and the number of athletes they have will allow them to spread the floor, get up and down in transition and utilize full-court pressure on the defensive end. As a result, you'll probably see Duke attempt fewer shots from beyond the arc this year because of the team's emphasis on attacking the rim in transition.
young players on this roster, will that affect Bill Self's coaching philosophy at all? Defense has been the key for Kansas in the past, but are the new crop of Jayhawks up for that challenge?
With so many newcomers and
HILLIX: Self said that all the new players, on a scale of 1 to 10, have a coachability of 10. Defense has always been the calling card for Self's squads, but this year's team could change things a bit. The Jayhawks have offensive firepower in their lineup, and Self can bring in several players off the bench who are capable of putting up points in bunches. Expect this year's squad to score more points than previous Kansas teams.
Defensively, also expect this team to give up more points. While the half-court defense won't be as stingy as it has been in previous years, this team has the potential to extend pressure more than it was capable of in the past. With so many athletic players, they can press and have the ability to recover quickly if they get beat.

The University's student-run radio station, KJHK 90.7, won two national awards from College Broadcasters, Inc., on Nov.2.
The National Student Production Awards, organized by CBI, recognize outstanding student-produced media from hundreds of different outlets throughout the country. University students received awards for two of the most competitive categories: Best Regularly Scheduled Entertainment Program and Best Student Media Website.
Michael Engelken, a senior from Overland Park, won for the weekly show he created, hosts and produces, "Live @ KJHK," which features in-studio performances and interviews with local and touring bands.
"I put a lot of work into the show, so it's definitely nice to be recognized for all of it." Engelken said. "It's a good experience to work with professionals, and I'm not just working with kids who play in their parents' basements. It's really cool that they want to be here and that a lot of times they contact me about it."
"Live @ KJHK" also includes videos of the live performances that are posted on the station's website. The show has featured popular bands like Deer Tick and The Veda Rays.
Sarah Brennan, online content
director for the station, also won a CBI award for the station's unique website, which has features that allow listeners to search for their favorite DJs and see their set lists as
they're being played live on air. The website was chosen from a combined media category that included entries in television and online media enterprises in addition to radio.
Brennan said KJHK has been receiving emails from
"We kind of got these awards at the right time," she said. "This is the time when everyone stops working so hard because school gets crazy and this definitely keeps
other college stations asking how they can improve their work, and that this is keeping the station on its toes.
"...this definitely keeps us motivated to work harder and keep up the standards that are known nationally now."
SARAH BRENNNAN

us motivated to work harder and keep up the standards that are known nationally now"
John Dillingham, KJHK production director and host of the female rapper-oriented
program "Bad Bitch," said the creative freedom at KJHK separates it from other radio stations, but he was quick to add that the quality of the programs was the main reason the station gained national attention.
"There's things we have the ability to do, but we take that appreciation for creativity and balance it with quality," Dillingham said. "It's not like we're going to do something here just because we can. If it's not quality, we aren't going to do it."
Other students recognized by the CBI for their involvement in "Live @ KJHK" include Kaitlin Brennan, Taylor Umbrell, Jake Waters and Mason Kilpatrick, and additional students involved in award-winning KJHK.org include Marc Schroeder and Claire McInerny.

Watkins provides resources after sexual assault
Although the U.S. Department of Justice estimates that one in five women will be sexually assaulted during their time in college, many
students may not even know what resources are available for victims of sexual assault.
Roxie Dohogne, a registered nurse at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said she thinks there are students on campus who are unaware of the services offered at Watkins.
means she is qualified to administer sexual assault evidence collection kits, more commonly called "rape kits."
Some universities around the country lack a nurse with this certification at their campus health

Dohogne said there is one nurse practitioner working at Watkins who is certified as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), which
"Whether it's one phone call or years of support from us, we are always here."
The cost to provide the certification remains an obstacle for schools like UNT, but Dohogne said that the University would cov-

er the cost of any nurse at Watkins seeking to obtain the certification.
Rape victims are able to utilize the health center for performing the rape kit and for any advice about what they can do next, said Dohogne.
She added that since these appointments are typically time-consuming, Watkins tries to accommodate the victims as much as possible since they've already been through a traumatic event.
Though the services offered at Watkins are a convenient resource on campus for students, the certified nurse practitioner is only available during business hours, which are limited on weekends, and there are days when she might not be working. Depending on when the sexual assault takes place, students may not be able

to use the resources available at Watkins.
Another option for students is to seek help from the GaDuGi SafeCenter, which is open 24/7 and is located less than a ten-minute drive from campus and is always available by phone.
GaDuGi offers a comprehensive range of options for support, said Chrissy Heikkila, interim executive director of the center, including immediate actions like taking the victim to the hospital for an exam or helping them report the assault to the police, or more long-term options, such as guiding them through the investigation and offering them the option to talk with a therapist.
All the services at the center are at absolutely no cost to the victim, and any actions taken following the assault are completely up to the victim, said Heikkila.
"We can be as big or as little as people need us to be. Whether it's one phone call or years of support from us, we are always here," Heikila said. "We support them in whatever decision they choose."
Heikkila adds that the advocates at the center are there for the victims for as long as they need them, even if they waited years to talk to someone about the assault for the first time.
One World Trade Center named tallest U.S. building at 1,776 feet
Watkins and GaDuGi both offer students many resources in the event of being affected by sexual assault, whether they were a victim personally or they are seeking advice for how to help someone close to them who is a victim.
NEW YORK — They set out to build the tallest skyscraper in the world — a giant that would rise a symbolic 1,776 feet from the ashes of ground zero.
"If they need someone to talk them through the process of what to do and where to go, we can always help them with that," Dohogne said.
Those aspirations of global supremacy fell by the wayside long ago, but New York won a consolation prize Tuesday when an international architectural panel said it would recognize One World Trade Center as the tallest skyscraper in the United States.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, considered a world authority on supersized
skyscrapers, announced its decision at simultaneous news conferences in New York and Chicago, home to the 1,451-foot Willis Tower, which is being dethroned as the nation's tallest building.
Measuring the height of a building would seem to be a simple thing, but in the case of the new World Trade Center tower, it is complicated by the 408-foot-tall needle atop the skyscraper's roof.
The council's verdict rested on a conclusion that the needle should be counted as part of the building's total height. Without it, the tower would be just 1,368 feet tall, the same height as the original

World Trade Center. That would make it smaller than not only the Willis, but also a 1,397-foot apartment building being built a short subway ride away near Central Park.
Speaking at his office in New York, council chairman Timothy Johnson, an architect at the global design firm NBBJ, said the decision by the 25-member height committee had more "tense moments" than usual, given the skyscraper's importance as a patriotic symbol.

Funding for Internet service under city's consideration
CALEB SISK
csisk@kansan.com
Local Internet provider Wicked Broadband has plans to establish a super-fiber-optic service to residents of downtown Lawrence. The project would give Lawrence some of the fastest Internet speeds in the country, much like the Google Fiber project in Kansas City.
Although the 1-gigabit service would costaround $100 a month for individual users, Wicked officials plan on providing it free-of-charge to a number of organizations, including Lawrence City Hall, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence Public Library, New York Elementary School and the Douglas County Courthouse.
Despite the ambition of Wicked, one glaring roadblock stands in the way: funding.
However, without a substantial grant from the city, the project will go unfinished and Wicked will likely have to sell its existing fiber-optic network. Wicked has promises from private lenders in the amount of $500,000, but they will not fully pledge their money without full support from the city.
The pilot project plans to service the downtown area and a portion of East Lawrence. Nearly 1,100 resident homes and businesses will have access to a service promising to revolutionize how Lawrence residents use broadband.
With this in mind, Wicked has proposed that the city commission lend them another $500,000 so that the project can reach completion. The city commission seems unconvinced at this point, mainly due to the fact that this is a proposal from an individual company, and they
feel a number of proposals from multiple technology companies should be considered.
The city has been considering the proposal since its submission in May. A major concern is the cost — consultants have estimated that a citywide fiber-optic project would cost somewhere in the range of $35 million to develop and install.
Wicked Broadband plans to hold a meeting on Thursday, Nov. 14 at 10:30 a.m. in the Cider Gallery on 810 Pennsylvania St. This meeting will serve as an opportunity for residents and businesses to pose any questions they may have about the pilot project.
Students on campus gave their thoughts on the project and whether or not they would be willing to pay the hefty price.

Hawaii Senate passes bill for gay marriage
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONOLULU — The state Senate passed a bill Tuesday legalizing gay marriage, putting Hawaii a signature away from becoming a same-sex wedding destination.
President Barack Obama praised the bill's passage, saying the affirmation of freedom and equality makes the country stronger.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who called lawmakers to a special session for the bill and has vocally supported gay marriage, said in a statement he will sign the measure. It will allow thousands of gay couples living in Hawaii and even more tourists to marry in the state starting Dec. 2.
"I've always been proud to have been born in Hawaii, and today's vote makes me even prouder," Obama said.
"I look forward to signing this significant piece of legislation, which provides marriage equity and fully recognizes and protects religious freedoms," Abercrombie said.
Senators passed the bill 19-4 with two lawmakers excused Cheers erupted inside and outside the gallery when the vote was taken, with a smattering of boos. Senate President Donna Mercado Kim, who voted against the bill, banged her gavel and told members of the public to quiet down.
More than half the chamber's lawmakers spoke in support of the bill, with many urging the public to come together to heal divisions within the community.
"This is nothing more than the expansion of aloha in Hawaii," said Sen. J. Kalani English, a Democrat from Maui.
Sen. Sam Slom, the chamber's only Republican, said the government should stay out of legislating marriage.
"People have differences, and you can't legislate morality. You can try, but you can't do it," Slom said before voting against the bill.
An estimate from a University of Hawaii researcher says the law will boost tourism by $217 million over the next three

years, as Hawaii becomes an outlet for couples in other states, bringing ceremonies, receptions and honeymoons to the islands. The study's author has said Hawaii would benefit from pent-up demand for gay weddings, with couples spending $166 million over those three years on ceremonies and honeymooms.
The Senate took up the bill a second time because of changes made in the House, where the bill was amended and eventually passed.
The House amendments delayed the dates ceremonies could begin, slightly expanded an exemption for clergy and religious organizations, and removed regulations determining how children of same-sex couples could qualify for Native Hawaiian benefits.
Sen. Clayton Hee, who steered the bill's passage in the chamber, said the measure was good even though he believes the religious protections granted are too broad. He said the final bill was a good compromise.

Be aware of local alcohol regulations before drinking
Every joke about Dwayne Bowe and weed has already been made.
Whether it's a response to stressful classes or a celebration of freedom, college students love to drink. It's been this way and it will always be this way. Denying this is foolish, but fighting it is legal. We live in a world with laws; laws that make it illegal for people under the age of 21 to consume alcohol. And just as the desire to drink runs through our collegiate veins, the desire to catch underage drinkers pumps with equal force through the veins of certain individuals. These individuals are enforcement agents of Kansas' Alcoholic Beverage Control, or ABC.
The Alcoholic Beverage Control is a division within the Kansas Department of Revenue whose main job is to regulate and tax the
consumption and sale of alcohol throughout the state. As students, our main concern is how they regulate underage drinking. Because the way the ABC regulates underage drinking could regulate your night and your criminal record.
The ABC is well known for combatting underage drinking in Lawrence in many ways. Enforcement agents aim to pick off unsuspecting minors at all possible sources where alcohol is sold: liquor stores, bars, restaurants and house parties. Many of you know someone or, perhaps, you yourself have been caught unexpectedly in an ABC sting. These stings range from agents posing as civilians outside of liquor stores, to undercover agents busting minors in bars. The ABC have been known to go as far as following people
By Eddie Simon esimon@kansan.com
home from the liquor store, not ing their address and coming back at night to bust the house party. If caught selling to minors at a house party, the hosts of the party are subject to up to $1,000 in fines or up to six months in jail.
As long as students continue to drink, the ABC will continue to have a presence in Lawrence. We are simply too valuable of a clientele to lose. So for those who choose to drink while underage, it's important to be aware of the ABC's looming authority. There are certain steps you can take if you don't wish to find yourself caught in an ABC sting.
The first and most obvious is
what your mother has been telling you since high school - don't drink.
I do not advocate or suggest that anyone drink underage, and I strongly believe that no one should drink and drive no matter what your age. But if you choose to drink underage, be smart about it because what you're doing is illegal and there are people out there whose sole job is to catch you. So be safe, be smart and be careful. We're not invincible and the Alcoholic Beverage Control aims to prove that.
see someone much older that's not a visiting parent and appears to not be drinking, they could be an undercover. If you think you see an undercover, set down any drinks you might be holding and leave the area you're in. Also, try and avoid walking around with drinks at the bar in general — the ABC agent most likely won't confront you if you're not holding an alcoholic drink.
Next, don't be stupid. Don't drink in excess; there is no weaker prey than an overly intoxicated underage drinker. If you find yourself in a bar that is known for underage drinkers, always keep a watch over your shoulder. If you
There are countless other ways to have fun besides drinking in college. But there is no denying that underage drinking does happen.

POLICY
Ending oil subsidies would push alternative energy, save money
I am not a conservative. I wouldn't even say I am a liberal. I'm more of a realist-naturalist. I've often struggled to maintain balance between the consumer culture I live in and the environmental movement to which I have dedicated my studies. In my quest to understand how these two sides can be positively integrated, I stumbled upon former Republican Congressman Bob Inglis from South Carolina. Inglis represents the Energy and Enterprise Initiative (E&EI), a conservative campaign promoting the use of free enterprise to encourage the development and use of alternative energies. I listened to E&EI speak at the Dole Institute of Politics last spring and a few of E&EI's ideas have stayed on my brain.
E&EI proposes a three-part plan for approaching climate change. First, eliminate federal subsidies for all fuels. Second, attach all costs to fuels. Third, decrease income tax and increase taxes on pollution. At first, I was skeptical of such a black and white plan presented by a conservative group of Republican politicians and economists. But, when I really thought about it, it made a lot of sense to my "realist-naturalist" brain. Let's break it down.
Step one: End subsidies for all fuels. The Federal Government subsidizes many industries, including oil. I have discovered that the government is anything but transparent when describing the amount of money granted to the oil industry to keep consumer prices low and producer gains high. Additionally, many oil companies such as ExxonMobil claim that they do not receive special
By Gabby Murnan
gmurnan@kansan.com
government subsidies at all. They may not receive "special" funding, but they still receive subsidies. Eliminating federal monetary aid for oil would increase the cost of production and thus increase the cost for consumers. You may be thinking, but that's a bad thing — why should I have to pay more? Keep reading, but I warn you, it gets worse before it gets better
Step two: Attach all costs to fuels. Currently, we do not pay at the pump for the environmental, health or productivity costs of fossil fuels. We do, however, pay these costs through taxes in the long run. The burden of fossil fuels is being disproportionately placed on the consumer, while producers continue to reap the benefits of subsidies. Attaching all costs to fossil fuels would increase the cost of oil, causing consumers to pay more. Once again you may be wondering how increased costs for consumers is a good thing — stay with me.
Step three: Decrease income tax and increase pollution taxes. Here we go, now we're talking money in the pockets of consumers and accountability for environment-damaging industries. E&EI argues that we should be taxing what we want less of — pollution — rather than what we want more of — money.
Now let's put it all together and look at it through the principles of free enterprise. If subsidies are eliminated for all fuels, and prices of fossil fuels reflect all costs, then the need for new
energy solutions will be apparent when we pay our electricity bill or fill up our cars. As oil prices continue to increase, it will become obvious that oil is not a sustainable, cost-effective answer for energy. By getting rid of subsidies, the playing field is made even for entrepreneurs to explore innovative energy initiatives. Oil will no longer distort the market and monopolize the energy industry. Without the interference of the government on behalf of oil, entrepreneurs will be able to develop renewable and cost-effective alternative energies.
Meanwhile, consumers will have more money to put back into the economy due to decreases in personal income tax, while pollution-creating industries will be held monetarily accountable for their damaging actions.
True energy and climate solutions will require a balance of conservative and liberal ideas. Although E&EI's ideas are based off of conservative values, its goals are bipartisan and its plan is, in my opinion, ingenious.
Some may call it naive to say that we are running out of oil, but I call it irresponsible to think otherwise. Oil is the foundation of our economy, but it is crumbling. We need to reinforce the cracks with alternative energies and systematically phase out fossil fuels from our economy. It is unwise to continue full blast on a path that experts say is coming to a dead end. Rather than drive ourselves into both a catastrophic economic and environmental crisis, we must allow innovation to provide the fuels of tomorrow.

ENVIRONMENT
Hope is vital to future of environmental movement
In my Alternative Breaks class, Dr. Shane Lopez gave a talk about hope in preparation for our service trips. He defined hope as "believing the future will be better than the present" and having the belief that we "have some role in making it so." As he articulated, hope is not limited by a single context but can be present anywhere.
Hope is a necessary ingredient to mitigating and adapting to climate change.
The first step in having hope for the future of our planet is accepting the situation. As Bill Nye puts it, "Climate change is happening, humans are causing it and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us." Apparently not everyone agrees with our beloved science guy. Those who haven't accepted global warming and climate change as a true problem are only acting as roadblocks to solutions.
Looking at those who represent us in Washington, the misinformed and blatant ignorance is glaring. There is an entire website for those "climate-deniers" in Congress on the "Organizing for Action" section of Obama's website. Politics aside, the statements made are not backed with scientific evidence and often ignore the most pressing issue. For example, Rep. John Boehner said, "the idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know, when they do what they do, you've got more carbon dioxide." This statement ignores that cows actually are large contributors of methane, and the source of carbon dioxide that concerns scientists is not what we breathe out, but rather carbon emitted by the burning of fossil fuels.
By Jenny Stern
jstern@kansan.com
Minimizing an issue without informing yourself will perpetuate the problem of climate change. Many people think this issue is solely for the tree-huggers and
outdoor adventurers, but global climate change will have huge impacts for everyone, some of which are pressing problems of today's world that will only get worse. Climate change has social, biological and political effects. Look no further than the increase of infectious disease and weather-related mortality, the suffering of crops that are no longer in their optimal temperature range, destruction of coastal habitats and homes by sea level rise and a shortage of water for evidence.
Back to Dr. Lopez's quote. I'm sure my rant of negativity was not the most convincing argument for the future being better than the present. This is where the second part of the quote becomes so incredibly crucial. We really do have a role in helping the future be better than the present. We may not be able to 'reverse' global warming but we sure can slow it down with the right policies and research.
As ABC news journalist Bill Blakemore puts it, "There are now signs that, little by little, voices and personalities are beginning to emerge around the world who are starting to hug this monster, manage the fear, and turn the emotions it causes into action." The monster that Blakemore refers to is fear.
Our actions must not be driven by fear, as fear inspires denial. In order to create a better world in the future, we must act out of hope and support climate change policies, advocate for sustainable education and have faith in the power of people on a mission.

Cultures communicate through fashion show during SUA event
SOPHIA TEMPLIN
stemplin@kansan.com
Tonight, the "universal language" of fashion will be on full display, along with multicultural foods, traditions and entertainment, in the second annual World Fashion Show. The outfits displayed will include traditional garments and modern twists on the customary wear.
The World Fashion Show is held by the Student Union Activities (SUA) Cultural Programming committee to inform University students of cultural diversity on campus and is co-sponsored by the Center for Global and International Studies.
"We aim to offer a variety of events that will bring together the students of KU to celebrate and spark conversations about cultural awareness," said Kailee Karr, SUA Cultural Programming committee assistant coordinator."This event, specifically, is also designed to showcase culturally focused groups and students around campus in a beautiful display of world fashion and traditions."
The committee has worked on this event in particular for over six months. A number of student organizations will also participate in the festivities — the First Nations Student Association will feature a musical duet and a traditional Chinese pianist, and the Arab Student Union and KU Jeeva Bollywood Dance Group will each perform dances.
"We are participating in order to spread the word about our team and the way that our culture is incorporated into our dance," said Karishma Khetani, captain of the
nationally competitive KU Jeeva Bollydance Dance Group.
MUSIC
Audience members of the World Fashion Show will join a diverse, student-led event that showcases countries all over the world, while celebrating cultures and talents.
Other participating cultural organizations include the Paraguayan Student Association, Hispanic American Leadership Association and the Chinese Students and Scholars Friendship Organization. In addition, three graduate students from Japan, Kazakhstan and Pakistan are involved.

encapsulates the sounds of Dr. Dog so well and is a great start to the album, "The Truth" is infused with a poppy feel that still allows the song to possess a slow, fifties rhythm that consists of a wonderfully constructed bass line accompanied by a minimalist drumbeat beneath the joyful sounding tones of the piano and guitar.
"THANKS BILL" - EL TEN ELEVEN
the power of looping pedals in music. El Ten Eleven's bassist/ guitarist Kristian Dunn uses a double-necked guitar/bass guitar to layer his instrument parts on top of one another. The song is worth a listen, if only to understand the power that guitar-effects and looping can have on music.

The song operates effectively through its ironies and sarcasm — both lyrically and musically. The song uses a fair amount of heavy crunch effect, and it also utilizes a set of bells to offset its would-be-darker sound. Its lyrics also seem to be a contradiction, "Green Eyes, I'd run away with you, / Green Eyes, because I'm a fool."

Kansas combats foul trouble to beat Duke
http://bit.ly/1bnsK8i
BRIAN HILLIX
bhillix@kansan.com
In a game where both teams got into foul trouble, Kansas proved to be the team that managed it better.
This is in large part due to the efficient play of the Kansas bench. The Jayhawks received contributions from multiple bench players while the Blue Devils' bench as a whole struggled to find any rhythm.
Six players earned at least four fouls in the game as both teams reached the double bonus midway through the second half. In a game with multiple ties and lead changes, Kansas' ability to manage their players in foul trouble gave them the late lead and eventually the game.
Andrew Wiggins in particular shined. Wiggins was flagged for two early fouls in the game and sat the remainder of the first half after recording six points and three rebounds. He started the second half with an early jumper and went on to score eight more points before picking up his fourth foul of the night.
His best play came with four fouls. After returning to the game, Wiggins showed the intensity many have come to expect. With a slim lead of 83-81, Wiggins scored the next four points for Kansas that gave the Jayhawks a cushion late in the contest.
Even though he hadn't hit a jump shot all night, he made a step-back 15-foot jump shot over a Duke defender to stretch the thin lead to four.
After a Perry Ellis steal, he broke away from the basket and jammed home a basket that gave the Jayhawks a six-point lead. Wiggins was also fouled on the play and ended up getting an offensive rebound off of his missed throw, which gave Kansas a fresh shot clock and forced another Duke foul.
Tarik Black — known for getting into foul trouble at Memphis
— also received two early fouls in the contest. Jamari Traylor and Joel Embibd stepped in for big minutes as they combined to play a majority of the minutes in Black's absence. Black didn't attempt a field goal during the game.
Despite playing with foul trouble throughout much of the night, Traylor had an all-around performance with four points, one assist, one steal and one block. Embid came off the bench to chip five rebounds (three offensive), three assists, one steal and one block.
Highly touted freshman Jabari Parker dazzled for Duke but was quieted late after picking up his fourth foul of the evening. He would end up fouling out after hitting Wiggins on his dunk with just over one minute remaining.
Aside from Parker, every Duke starter except for center Amile Jefferson had at least four fouls for the evening. Factoring out Rasheed
Sulaimon, who also recorded four fouls, Duke's bench only accounted for two Duke points. Kansas' bench was far more impressive as it accounted for 26 points for the night.
With new hand-checking rules that have increased the numbers of defensive fouls, many games will come down to who can stay out of foul trouble, or rather, who can play better while in foul trouble.

GAME TO REMEMBER
All eyes were on Wiggins at the United Center, and the highly touted freshman didn't disappoint. Despite early foul trouble, Wiggins scored 22-points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the jayhawks soared past the Blue Devils. Wiggins' second half, including a fast break dunk that resulted in Duke freshman Jabari Parrish's fifth lift, led Kansas to victory and a
game Wiggins will certainly remember.
GAME TO FORGET
OK, so Black won't really be forgetting a Kansas win against Duke in Chicago, but he didn't exactly score a career night, either. Black didn't score a point or take a shot. He did have two fouls early, which earned him a seat on the bench.

Jayhawks in shape to face Cougars tonight
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
After playing in a game without much rhythm to start the season, the Kansas women's basketball team (1-0) turns its eyes to the Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville Cougars (0-1), coming to town today.
The lajaways are still trying to figure out how to play with their new-look team. In their opener against Oral Roberts, juniors Natalie Knight and Chelsea Gardner, the only two players with significant starting experience, proved to be consistent forces on the team.
In the two exhibition games and first regular season game, the Jayhawks have made a trend of going on a second-half run to create a comfortable lead between them and the opposition. Against Oral Roberts, the Jayhawks were up by 10 points at halftime and came out of the locker room on a 10-3 burst. Gardner recorded a double-double, the seventh of her career, with 24 points and 13 rebounds, while Knight contributed 12 points and dished out a career-high seven assists.
Kansas and Oral Roberts combined for 58 fouls, which stunted the rhythm of the game. Guard Asia Boyd also earned a double-double in the game with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Kansas was fouled 33
times, which would usually signify an aggressive style of play.
After the game, coach Bonnie Henrickson said the opposite was true. She said her team was not aggressive enough and needed to work on attacking and driving to the basket more often.
SIU-Edwardsville started its season off with a 59-48 loss to Missouri on Sunday. The Cougars shot 33.3 percent from the field and made five less three-point baskets than Missouri.
The Cougars had three players reach double figures: forwards Jessie Wendt and Allyssa Decker, and guard Tierny Austin had 10, 11 and 12 points, respectively.
Despite losing the game, the Cougars outscored Missouri in the paint, 30-24. They took 21 three-point shots their last time out, but only connected on two of them. The Jayhawks need to find a way to stop the Cougars from getting into the paint area and force them to shoot long jumpers.
When these two teams met three years ago on Dec. 19, 2010, Kansas exploded into a 91-52 victory.
Kansas is in the middle of a three-game homeestand that will conclude against Creighton on Sunday, Nov. 17. The Jayhawks will matchup with the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars tonight at 7 p.m.

WEIS SHAKES THINGS UP IN PRACTICE
Coach Charlie Weis made it very clear that this week's practice schedule was going to be very different. The team spent all of Saturday's practice focusing on first and second down offense and defense. Weis did not want any special team distractions getting in the way.
"There are two ways of handling things," Weis said when discussing his reasoning for mixing things up this week. "There is the 'oh well' way of handling it and then there is the 'finding another way to do it' method. I have never been much of an 'oh well' kind of guy."
Weis is putting all of his energy into West Virginia. West Virginia is coming off a disheartening loss against a solid Texas squad. Weis is preparing for a hungry and able Mountaineer team with a lot left to gain this season.
Lately, Weis has been stressing transitions. He wants his players to take their work in the classroom and transition that onto the
practice field, and then onto the playing field.
Charlie Weis has won three games in the last two seasons at Kansas. He is doing anything he can to change the environment of Kansas football.
WEIS IS 'ALL IN'
Charlie Weis is going into the rest of the season with an "all in" mentality. When asked if Kansas is embracing his spoiler role in a must-win game for West Virginia, Weis said that it is a must-win game for the Jayhawks, as well.
"I'm all in. I have all my chips on the table. I'm either going to double up, or I'm going to walk away empty-handed."
The Kansas football team has been mathematically eliminated from bowl contention. "The Saturday after Thanksgiving is our bowl game," Weis said. They have three Big 12 games remaining on their schedule. Weis said that these next three games are the Jayhawks playoffs.
PIERSON LOOKS TO ADD
EXPLOSIVENESS TO
JAYHAWK OFFENSE
Junior unning back Tony Pierson
returned to the field last week against Oklahoma State. Pierson led all rushers with 87 yards on just six carries.
Pierson undoubtedly adds an extra element to the Jayhawk offense and Charlie Weis understands that. The Jayhawks have not been able to pick up large chunks of yardage through the passing game this season.
"Whenever Tony touches the ball and we get him in space, you can see that's like our passing game," Weis said. "That's where we get our chunks."
Pierson admitted to feeling dizzy at points during last week's game against Oklahoma State. "He was scared," Weis said. "Tony was afraid of taking another big hit and getting another concussion."
Pierson has that big play potential that not a lot of the other players on the roster posses. His health and production are crucial to Kansas' success in the last three games of the season.

VanVleet leads No.16 Wichita State past Western Kentucky

WICHITA — Fred VanVleet didn't have enough energy to be excited after No. 16 Wichita State's latest win.
VanVleet scored 17 points and Kadeem Coleby had 13 to lead the Shockers in a 66-49 victory over Western Kentucky early Tuesday morning.

Wichita State scored the first nine points of the second half to take control.

THE MORNING BREW
Strength and conditioning coach acts as Kansas' hidden weapon
According to Dictionary.com, the word "intensity" is defined as a high degree of emotional excitement. During the basketball game last week against Louisiana-Monroe, a friend of mine proposed a question that really got me thinking: Who is the more intense person while doing their job? Bill Self or Andrea Hudy?
For those who don't know, Hudy is the strength and conditioning coach for the basketball team. She is also said to be someone who will give you one of the most physically demanding workouts of your life.
Now, the common answer to this question would probably be Self, due to the fact that fans are constantly watching him get in his players' faces during timeouts. However, that would also be the answer for someone who has never heard about a "Hudy Work-out."
Much like Self, Hudy always finds a way to bring out the best in players and have them reach their maximum potential as athletes. She has been quoted saying that if you aren't throwing up, you aren't working hard
By Ryan Levine
rlevine@kansan.com
To go along with the customized workouts she has for each player, which are based on their body types and personal goals, Hudy also creates special meal plans and grocery lists, which players must follow in order to reach those fitness goals.
On the flip side, we have all seen the face that coach Self displays shamelessly after calling a timeout. Eyebrows pointed down,
mouth open, ready to let his players know what they did wrong. As soon as everyone sees that face on what might be the most intense coach in college basketball, we all know what's about to happen. Whether his intensity is used to help teach his players when they do something wrong or make sure his players stay motivated, Self's intensity is something everyone knows about. However, the great thing about him and what makes him such a great coach is the fact that he knows how to balance it between motivating his players and correcting them.
THE BREW
the abilit y to make life a living hell and still maintain respect from everyone around them like Hudy can. Believe it or not, she is the hidden secret to why Kansas basketball is as successful as it is.
As for me, I would probably have to make the conclusion that Hudy is the more intense person while doing her job. There are many coaches out there who can really get underneath a player's skin, but not many strength and conditioning coaches have

No.2 Spartans upset No.1 Kentucky 78-74
ASSOCIATED PRESS
At least at this point in the year. Branden Dawson tipped in a miss with less than six seconds left, and No. 2 Michigan State hung on for a 78-74 victory over top-ranked Kentucky and its latest cast of young phenoms in the first game of the Champions Classic on Tuesday night. As James Young missed a 3-pointer, the Michigan State fans — including the Spartan in Chief, Magic Johnson, erupted. Gary Harris held up his index finger, indicating the No. 1 ranking the Spartans (2-0) are sure to have next week.
CHICAGO — Experience trumps talent.
But this might not be the last these two teams see of each other. With four of the top five teams in the one-day tournament — Duke and Kansas played in the nightcap — it's no stretch to imagine this as a sneak peek at the Final Four.
The Spartans' Keith Appling came within two rebounds and two assists of a triple-double, finishing with 22 points, and eight rebounds and assists. Harris had 20 points and Adreian Payne had 15 points and four rebounds.
Julius Randle led the Wildcats (2-1) with 27 points — all but four in the second half — and 13 rebounds. Andrew Harrison had 11. But the Wildcats were hurt by early
turnovers and they were just 20 of 36 from the free throw line.
This was the earliest 1 vs. 2 matchup, and first since Feb. 23, 2008, when Tennessee beat top-ranked Memphis. The Tigers coach then? None other than John Calipari.
This game had even more hype,
mostly because of the Kiddie Cats. Much has been made of the youngsters, with good reason. The last time Calipari had a roster this star-studded, the Wildcats won a national title.
And this group might be even more impressive.
Six were McDonald's All-Americans, and all are considered lottery picks in next summer's NBA draft.
with Randle a possibility for the overall No. 1. The youngsters did nothing to lessen the hype in their first two games, with Randle averaging 22.5 points and 15 rebounds, and the Harrison twins averaging in double figures. No wonder the game brought out scouts from almost every NBA team and celebrities including Nazr Mohammed and Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukom Suh.
But the Spartans aren't exactly slouches, returning six of their top seven scorers. Just as important, big-time games like this are nothing new to them, with coach Tom Izzo routinely scheduling the likes of Connecticut, Duke, North
Carolina and Kansas before Jan. 1.
The experience showed early, as the Spartans harassed Kentucky relentlessly on both ends of the court.
But Kentucky has too much talent to stay down for long.
After trailing by 13 with 11:32 to play, the Wildcats came roaring back behind Randle, who left little doubt why coaches throughout the NBA covet him. He scored nine points in Kentucky's 13-1 run, including a "How'd he do that?" off-balance jumper from behind a sea of green jerseys. Andrew Harrison followed with a layup to cut Michigan State's lead to 60-59 with 8:05 to play.
Andrew Harrison and Randle
each made a pair of free throws, tying the game at 66 with 4:48 left. But Appling drilled a 3, and Harris stripped Randle at the other end and took it in for a layup that put Michigan State back in front, 71-66.
Randle wasn't done just yet. After Andrew Harrison's free throws Kentucky within 76-72 with 1:33 to play, the Wildcats pounced on an Applying turnover and Randle scored on a jumper. But Dawson tipped in a miss by Denzel Valentine at the other end to seal the win.

CHICAGO - The Champions Classic is billed as the preseason
In Chicago, there was nothing but hope.
Back in New Orleans during the 2012 National Championship, you felt the urgency in the air. That wasn't a party so much as an anxiety-off, discovering which fanbase could endure the most stress.
Each fan walking the concourse at the United Center had a silly smile that we all come across at some point or another. The one that says "this is our year" behind a frozen facial expression.
Regardless of Kansas' 94-83 win against Duke, every fan understands that true bragging rights are handed out in early April.
Take a walk down Michigan Avenue, where the cool breeze off Lake Michigan funnels between the city's skyscrapers and it's hard to miss. You'll notice the winter hats first, the kind with the "KU" logo stitched on the front. Walk past the Niketown with the Michael Jordan quotes on the wall and you'll spot the man in the Jayhawks letterman jacket. Peer into the cars and cabs that pass by — you'll notice the Kansas jerseys, too. Each person sporting that same goofy smile. Of course, heading to the United Center and strolling down Madison helped confirm that.
FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK
Team hopes to finish the season strong
PAGE 8
Jayhawks fans didn't invade Chicago. It seems as if they'd always been here, hoping and praying with the rest of them.
Perhaps this is one of the instances that makes college basketball beautiful. The Champions Classic is not meant to break a team's season — only to show how far some squads have to go.
—Edited by Kayla Overbey
Sophomore forward Perry Ellis scores against Duke, driving the Jayhawks to a victory with the help of freshman guard Andrew Wiggins (not pictured). The Jayhawks won 94-83 in Tuesday night's game.
Will Michigan State, Kentucky,
Duke and Kansas all meet in
the Final Four? Pretty unlikely.
But their season didn't end on a
Tuesday in November.
It allows fans to keep dreaming a little bit longer.
That much was understood on Tuesday. As was this: Before stepping into the United Center, before driving down west Madison Street, although sometime slightly after arriving in the Windy City, you could sense Chicago is a Jayhawk town.
If this were college football you could bet one of these powerhouse programs that lost in Chicago would not be playing in the National Championship. When Alabama plays Michigan in week one, it might as well be for a chance at the title.
This may come as a shock to some, but not every game matters. Especially not the second game of the season. For now, there's just hope for fans that their team will get to play in the games that do mean something—the games in March and beyond.

Whatever Parker tried to do, Ellis attempted to top it. Each player scored more than 23 points and grabbed at least seven boards as
CHICAGO — This was supposed to be the night No. 1 overall recruit Andrew Wiggins and No. 2 overall recruit Jabari Parker began a rivalry expected to fuel college basketball. It seemed apparent that would happen — at least until Perry Ellis entered the fight.
Kansas defeated Duke 94-83 to secure its first win in year three of the Champions Classic.
"We just kept playing hard," Ellis said. "We got a lot of loose balls at the end, got a lot of easy lavups
got a lot of easy layups."
Ellis didn't stop Wiggins from taking a run at Parker himself.
"The key was just to get the ball
That showcase began with Wiggins alone in the paint, throwing down a one-handed slam in the opening minutes. Chicago-native Parker followed that tip with a four-point play.
Yet the trend quickly died as Wiggins picked up two early fouls and spent 11 minutes on the bench. Wiggins wouldn't be the only starter on the bench in the first half either. Naadir Tharpe and Tarik Black each picked up two fouls as well and Kansas tragged out a bevy of players to make up for it. Kansas has yet to play any type of match in which Black doesn't pick up some early calls.
It opened up the floor for Ellis to make his presence known and the bench to make the difference.
Frank Mason and Brannen Greene combined for 11 points in the first half while Wayne Selden Jr. and Perry Ellis took turns keeping the Jayhawks in front (or close to it). The lead changed 10 times in the first frame with neither team taking more than a six point advantage.
inside and attack," Ellis said. "Attack at all times."
"Our jerseys don't say Parker and Wiggins — they say Kansas and Duke."
Whatever college basketball fans were robbed of with Wiggins on the bench was made up for in the second half.
ANDREW WIGGINS Freshman guard
Wiggins relieved Ellis from guarding Parker and opened up room for both teams to run the floor.
"We didn't do a good
job of guarding the ball the whole night," Kansas coach Billself said. "I wish we would have played Andrew on Jabari the whole time. He wanted to do that, but I was nervous about fouls."
The Jayhawks were never more than a possession or two away from the lead early in the second half when Selden tossed a no-look pass to Ellis in the paint for an easy two.
The Blue Devils had a chance to steal back as Parker made a move to the bucket with one defender back, but the shot didn't fall and it didn't take long for Ellis to spot Wiggins alone in the paint for a
At that point Kansas had its first lead of the half, 61-60, though the momentum wouldn't last much longer.
two-handed slam of his own
Even before Ellis finished off the bucket, Selden turned to let out a huge roar that was returned by the mainly pro-Kansas crowd at the United Center. Duke called timeout as the Jayhawks seized the momentum.
Neither team could secure the lead for long as once again fouls became a key component of the game. The two teams combined for 53 calls, giving each an opportunity to steal the game at the line. Kansas shot 76 percent while Duke hit 16-28.
"It just takes away all aggressiveness defensively," Self said.
Still, this night was meant for Wiggins. It took until the final minute for him to deliver, though it wouldn't have happened without Ellis.
With Kansas up 83-81, Wiggins connected on a jumper. Ells stole the ball back on the ensuing possession and dished back to Wiggins for another slam. And as Wiggins went up, Parker went
down, picking up his fifth foul and,
exiting the floor.
"The hype was big but I just tried to block it out," Wiggins said after his 22-point performance. "Our jerseys don't say Parker and Wiggins — they say Kansas and Duke. At the end of the day one team was going to win it, not one player."

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
In the past months, coach Charlie Weis has watched freshman quarterback Montell Cozart grow into a sizeable player and potential full-time starter for next season.
Freshman Cozart develops into dual-threat quarterback
CONNOR OBERKROM
coberkrom@kansan.com
The lack of a passing game has afforded Kansas football the luxury of experimentation. One of those experiments is freshman quarterback Montell Cozart.
This week, Cozart was listed beside jake Heaps as the number one quarterback option. Weis doesn't want to hint at who will be on the field first against West Virginia on Saturday.
With youth still on his side, Cozart has more freedom with play calling - his style fits nicely with where quarterbacks are currently trending. Athletic quarterbacks have blossomed and now couple their ability to run the ball with their passing ability, which keeps opponents honest.
"I know who is starting at quarterback. Why should I tell them?" Weis said. "That's really what it comes down to"
Still becoming familiar with the drop back quarterback role, Cozart has been plugged into Kansas' offensive scheme, which is a key, realistic situation for his development.
"I ideally you would have the drop back guy who is the athlete," Weis said.
"It's been good for us to be able to do it the way we've done it," Weis said. "But, I think the fact that he's been able to ease into it, I think that has been good for him."
Weis mentioned that the good passing quarterbacks in the NFL (Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III) are becoming better athletes.
"Calling the plays isn't as easy as everybody thinks it is." Weis said.
Cozart's ability to extend plays is
There's a perception that the learning curve for young quarter-backs in a spread offense system isn't difficult, but that curve may be more steep than it seems.

why he's been splitting snaps with Heaps — the player deemed No. 1 at the season's start.
weis has taken a distinct mentality with Cozart and frequently encourages him on the field when he does something wrong, but adapts.
"We have a lot of problems in the past couple of years when the quarterback freezes and play is now over," Weis said. "But one thing that happens with [Cozart] when he freezes — the play could just be starting."
Barry Sanders was in attendance on Saturday's game, causing Weis to joke that Sanders might have inspired Cozart's performance — he dodged multiple defenders across the field.
Cozart's development is in the infant stage and he'll be watched closely going forward. He's emerged as a potential full-time starter for next season, but this season — with three games left — is what will develop him as a dual-threat quarterback.

The KU Model UN will soon be taking part in discussions that may very well affect the future of international foreign policy. KU's Model UN, an organization made up of 30 to 35 students from the University, will take 10 of its members to Kansas City on Nov. 16 to participate alongside high school students, business leaders and local politicians, in a discussion of major global issues in the post-2015 world.
The conference is one of several being convened all over the world as part of an effort by the United Nations to foster open conversation on the future of international politics, which until 2015 will be managed by the Millennial Development Goals, a set of regulations directing the policies of the United Nations on issues as diverse as poverty in third world nations to education and nutrition standards.

"The UN has gone a long way in trying to expand their reach to students and citizens around the world in the last ten years," said Joey Hentzler, president of KUMUN. "This conference is a part of the
The conference, which is attended by hundreds of business leaders and students, is one of several national and international conferences held each year. Each focus on fostering an interest from high school and college students in global affairs and foreign policy, especially since the regulations that guide UN policy are expiring in 2015.
"I'm really looking forward to having discussions with people about the millennial goals," said Garret Fugate, a graduate student from St. Louis. "It's great to take a part in conversations that might affect global diplomacy."
The conferences provide students with the opportunity to speak about their interest in global affairs and have their voices heard by the real United Nations.
After taking part in discussions regarding a variety of global issues, the participants' discussion notes will be sent from the conference to the Secretariat of the United Nations as a way of voicing their concerns and beliefs regarding world
governance in the post-2015 world. National conferences for Model UN require extensive study and research prior to the event.
National conferences for Model UN require extensive studying and research prior to attending. Often prepared for weeks, even months in advance, participants have the opportunity to voice their goals for the UN like never before.
"This is a student organization that has been built from the ground up by KU students," said Erik Scott, associate professor of History and faculty advisor for KUMUN. "They've gone from being a small group to a large organization that has gone on to win several distinctions in national and international conferences."
More than anything, the Model
UN hopes to promote an interest in global politics and issues with students and citizens alike.
"It's about looking beyond college and campus life that students see," Scott said. "It's about exploring major global issues not just from an American perspective, but from a global perspective."

Low water levels lead to county drought warning
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
We've all been taught not to leave the water running and to take shorter showers. Right now those water conservation tips are especially important for Kansas.
Douglas County is currently in a drought warning due partially to low water levels in local aquifers.
Diane Coe of the Kansas Water Office said that there isn't a specific set of factors that puts a county in a drought watch, warning or emergency, but the office issues the alerts to give counties a heads up when water levels could go down.
"It [a drought warning] means that folks should be very conscious of their water use." Coe said.
jeanette Klamm, who works at the Department of Utilities in Lawrence, said the message might seem obvious: 'don't waste water', but it's important to remember even without a drought warning.
Klamm said the warning means the city needs to have a water conservation plan and educate the public on how to conserve water.

to higher meat prices.
Fortunately, according to Coe, water supply is looking better than it has in the past year or so, but that doesn't mean students shouldn't be concerned.
Students should be aware that there's not an endless supply of water, Coe said.
Nearly half of the counties in Kansas are in an emergency drought situation. Douglas County has been in a drought watch since 2011, which was upgraded to drought warning by the Kansas Water Office in August.

"At the end of the day, we're people first. Not our disabilities," said Christian Roberson, a junior from Wichita, who has Asperger's Syndrome and is a new member of the AbleHawks and Allies.
AbleHawks and Allies is a student advocacy group promoting disability as a multicultural and diversity issue. They work closely with Simpson to address, initiate, and complete a more inclusive environment.
As the vice president of the group, Thompson has worked to educate students and staff members about disability etiquette.
"There's an intersection between disabilities in a number of things, and understanding makes you better at whatever you do," Simpson said.

Online coursework dilutes educational experience
I'm willing to make you a bet, which is unusual for someone about as lucky as Wile E. Coyote with a third-grade level grasp on probability. Here is my wager; if you were to ask a fifth grader why geography is his favorite subject, or ask a college professor to pinpoint the root of her passion, or ask a politician to trace the nexus of his motivation—more often than not—their answers would have to do with a human and not with a screen. Chances are, their inspirations came in the form of an influential figure, a person who brought the text on a page to life, who made the static dynamic.
Thinking back on your own education, surely there is a teacher or a mentor who stands out above the others, someone who challenged you and sparked your interest, who transformed the potentially mundane into something complex, something relevant to
the world outside of the school walls. If you told me that your love for economics came from the riveting online course you took, I would call you a liar or look for a barcode tattooed behind your ear (telltale sign of a robot, the Internet says so). In reality, that online class probably consisted of a lot of finicky formatting of punctuation, races against the clock before it struck 11:59, and untimely browser crashes due to the 15 tabs you had at once. It was not to be enjoyed, but endured, alone at your desk, laden with heavy sighs and fruitless Google searches.
The shift towards online education certainly isn't unfounded. In a large, pre-requisite style lecture class, it's simply unrealistic to expect someone to hand-grade 500 biweekly homework assignments. With frequent reading assignments, it makes perfect sense to hold students accountable in the form of short online reading

quizzes. Online assignments save paper, save time, and keep robust records of grades. These are effective uses of online educational tools—here they are complements, not replacements. The true danger lies in the trend towards entirely online classes, especially the push for these classes even as early as elementary school. We may live in the technological era, worshiping speed and efficiency, but what is the trade-off? What are we sacrificing for the sake of easy scheduling? What are we withholding from students when we replace their teachers with a
clean, accessible web page layout? From the most painfully introverted to the aggressively extroverted, people need people. For it is people who bring concepts to life; it is people whom challenge and foster discussion and it is relationships that provide a context for ideas to root themselves. Education has a historical role in American life that transcends merely skill-set learning or test passing; it teaches socialization, empathy, kinesthetic learning, adaptation to diversity and challenges us to ask questions. Full, complete understanding of classroom material requires some degree of emotional engagement that Google and Blackboard simply cannot provide.
What sort of a generation will online education produce? One that is wholly uninspired by learning, one that views completing an assignment not as a journey towards learning, but as seeing
a blinking 16/16 points after they've texted their friends for the answers. Sure, online education gives us time, it spares us energy, but in return we lose an invaluable life and vigor amidst megapixels and an empty notion of "cyber-community." Perhaps I'm being a little apocalyptic, but I see a generation of students, already under intense economic and academic pressure, unable to reconcile the boundaries of technology and never having been grabbed by the shoulders and shaken, never having been inspired by a figure that transformed their notion of education.
And I'll make another bet; if you asked a fifth grader whose education had been mainly online what his favorite subject was and why, I set hed struggle to give you an answer.

CULTURE
Student studying in China observes cultural similarities
Roughly 100 years ago, some representative of America was invited to England where he met with various European and African and South American delegates of the world. At one point the Portuguese delegate asked the American if he was a fan of football.
"Football?" asked the American.
The British delegate looked up from adjusting his pocket watch. "Why it is the greatest sport in the world!"
"Yes," agreed the Brazilian representative, "the sport where you kick the ball around with your feet, and attempt to score a goal."
The American representative rubbed his chin as his eyes glazed over in a mist of deep thought, "No." "He said slowly, "no – if it is true that we are speaking of the greatest sport in the world, then football must be the sport where you run with the ball." There was a hush of disbelief in the room as the American cheerily added, "but your quarterback can throw you the ball as well!"
It is an odd feeling to live in a country where traveling 80 in a car is slow, 25 degrees is comfortably warm and a good conversation about the greatest sport is as rare as winning a prize from McDonald's Monopoly.
still, some things seem to be more or less the same everywhere. Winter is coming, and as if on cue everyone has gotten

appropriately sick. If you're lucky enough to stay healthy, and were blessed with a good sense of smell in the first place, you may detect a balmy Chap Stick smell circulating around all of the classrooms, but with chapped lips comes sweaters and fierce debates over whose home is truly the coldest.
I typically argue that Kansas City's hot summer renders us less prepared for the winter, and the lack of snow leaves us in a state of particularly acute hopelessness. The Russians down the hall have provided a formidable attack upon my line of argumentation, but my pride is resilient. I refuse to back down.
Almost two and a half months into my stay at Nanjing, the romance is approaching its highest point. In Shanghai people walked too quickly and in Hong Kong they found investment schemes too interesting. These two cities are beautiful places to visit, but they are certainly no home. Nanjing, on the other hand, reminds me a great deal of my home: the buildings are not too tall, the people are not too busy and the sports teams usually lose.
so perhaps I've said too much; late Saturday night you can hear constructions crews tearing up the road to make way for a new subway line. Still, it is hard to say who is responsible for what in a country where five separate time zones are all in accord with the clocks in Beijing.
There is a certain charm of a place that doesn't have to worry about protecting some illustrious throne. That said, Nanjing is currently preparing to host the Youth Olympics next year.
At the end of the day, I like Nanjing because, relatively speaking, it has a feeling that I am used to. Most of the locals I've talked to curiously discuss the prospect of moving to a glitzier city like Beijing or Guangzhou, but eventually the conversation boils down to what really defines second-tier cities: assertions of an easier life ("we walk at a more comfortable pace") and idiosyncratically placed pride ("the summer here is the worst").
More than half way around the world, my own assertions and pride have only grown in magnitude. For example, the other week I saw a Chinese student wearing a New England Patriots t-shirt. I asked how he became a fan and he simply informed me because they were the best.
A smile crept across my face as I took a seat next to him and explained at length just how far from the truth his statement was; 1423 miles, to be exact.

Overprotective parents rob kids of experiences
A few weeks ago, in a Michigan middle school, a handful of students were prevented from honoring a classmate who they lost to leukemia. In the name of protecting the other children from grief, the administrators banned t-shirts with her name. It backfired spectacularly.
From putting children on leashes (which I'm convinced parents do for the comedy more than anything) to putting children on vegan diets, a sizable chunk of the population is convinced that the world is out to eat their children alive. It's an unfortunate attitude of overprotecting kids from themselves that I'm convinced will do more harm than good.
As a pre-teen, I ran with a small pack of other neighborhood hoodlums around a set of ponds that ran through all our backyards. In a slimy, scrap-metal filled corner, we made our "base" in a sewage drainage pipe. Every day we could, wed climb through an obstacle course of thorns, muddy hills and huge slabs of unstable rocks to reach it. We came out with cuts, bruises, and a genuine sense of adventure. While other kids played Nintendo 64 until their eyes bled, we fought off geese while scooping up frogs with our bare hands.
This little oasis of the unknown—a small, 100-square foot block of swamp—gave us stories to tell about wildlife, nasty pieces of algae we dared each other to lick, and a perfect platform to play "Vietnam" in the mud.
play. If you so much as mention that sort of place to some parents these days, you'd get slapped. These sorts of "dangerous places" are harder and harder to find. And if you do find one, there's not a kid in sight. Their parents have trapped them inside eating apple slices and playing cheap video games that teach arithmetic and vocabulary. If they ever emerge from their cave, pale and emaciated, they hide from the sur like Gollum.
Why is "Calvin and Hobbes" so wildly popular? It's the antithesis of that style of parenting. Everyone in retrospect wishes they'd built a tree house and raced

wagons down their street after reading a healthy dose of Bill Watterson.
It's easy to cast aspersions on parents from afar. These are all people doing the hardest job of their lives and improvising most of the time. It's true that times are changing. Schools are now battlegrounds. Food is filled with lead and toys with mercury. Paranoia is becoming standard.
Around a month ago, I watched my mom pull out her cell phone and puff up like a blowfish. "She's cussing again!" she declared to the car. She'd installed an app that let her remotely monitor my sister's text messaging like Big Brother went 4G. It wasn't just the creepiness of the spying that confused me, it was the indignity and disbelief that her child was cursing. Here's a woman that congratulated me when I caught a bucket full of tadpoles and named them all Chuck.
And that's what I'm really worried about: that maybe the second I'm responsible for another human life, I'll grow a Castro beard and start banning comic books. I'm terrified that this new social landscape has redefined parenting to a totalitarian dictatorship.
These scrapes, broken bones and fights in the schoolyard build character. The cuts heal into scars that eventually fade. But the sense of independence and confidence never leaves you. Without my sewage-pipe fort, I'd be half who I am today.
With that in mind, all I ask is that once you find yourself taking care of a tiny human, you take your kid out of his cage, put him on the leash and take him for a walk every once in a while. And refill his water-bowl; the water gets funky after a day or so.

SECONDHAND SWAG Thrifting trends and tips for winter weather

Students can stay warm and trendy while saving money this winter by shopping at Lawrence thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army.
HANNAH SUNDERMEYER

Lawrence, it's time to bundle up. With the temperature dropping by the hour, staying warm and keeping up with the latest trends doesn't mean you have to break the bank. Add unique pieces to your wardrobe and take it easy on your wallet by checking out local thrift stores such as Goodwill or Salvation Army.
WINTER THRIFTING TIPS:
- With the holiday season rolling in, thrift stores are a great place to look for tacky Christmas sweaters for theme parties.
- Especially with the unpredictable winter weather in Kansas, make sure to check the seams and examine merchandise thoroughly for holes, rips, tears and missing buttons.
- Wash anything you buy before
- Thrift stores are usually stocked up on inexpensive winter coats, so grab one before your next snowy walk to class.
- Inventory changes constantly, so plan to shop every couple of weeks.
Frequent trips to the thrift store ensure you won't miss out on any finds.

wearing it.
Alice Masterson, a senior from Washington D.C., is a professional when it comes to thrift shopping and finding unique pieces.
COREY CIEVERS Arizona Trading Company
"I normally take a quick glance over outerwear racks," Masterson said. "afeel around, and decide what seems warm. Try stuff on. I think that wool coats and puffy winter coats are really good for the winter, and you can layer that over sweaters."
"You have to take your time and dig, and you will eventually find something that will be just right for you."
Masterson also recommended checking out Etsy.com for all kinds of thrifting treasures.
"Etsy tends to be more expensive, because it is handpicked stuff. Shop owners can rationalize charging more, because they are charging more for the service that goes into it," Masterson said. "A
person is actually going through, looking and doing the work for you. They are the ones finding the cool stuff for you."
TRENDS TO LOOK OUT FOR:
- Dark reds such as burgundy and deep maroons are this season's hottest color, and work well when paired with neutrals. Look for this color in sweaters, pants, scarves, and skirts.
- Keep an eye out for layering items. Thick sweaters and chunky scarves are perfect for the winter months. Don't be afraid to check out both men and women's sections for oversized, cozy finds. "Definitely keep an eye out for items to bulk up with. Wear several items at the same time, which is a look that goes for men and women. Thrifting is a really good way to achieve this look, because there is so much variety," said Corey Cievers, of Arizona Trading Company, a well-known local thrift store located at 736 Massachusetts St.
- Leather moto jackets in both brown, blacks, and grays are also relatively easy to find in thrift stores, and make a great addition to your winter wardrobe.
- Get year-round wear from military jackets. Slouch cargos and camo printed items are easy to find, and also another staple for this season.

Cievers' advice for new thrifters is to take the time to look.
Spend some time at thrift shops and spruce up your winter wardrobe this season with unique pieces that match your fashion personality.
"It's not the same as walking into the Gap and finding the same items in 20 different sizes," Cievers said. "You have to take your time and dig, and you will eventually find something that will be just right for you."

Senior Taryn Miller has gained local popularity through the campus radio station. Miller is a member of four bands, but experienced recent fame through her solo project, Your Friend.

Student tops radio charts two consecutive weeks
DYLAN LYSEN
dlysen@kansan.com
On a cold night in early November, local musician Taryn Miller sat on her back porch in North Lawrence and talked about her life for almost 20 minutes. Before she ever mentioned the musical project that has found her some local fame, she continued a conversation like a long-lost friend who you haven't spoken to in awhile.
"Were not roiling are we?
"Yeah, I've been recording everything."
"We're not rolling are we?"
"Oh." Miller said and then laughed. "Dammit."
laughed. Dammit.
That's Taryn Miller: a 22-year-old University student with the stage name Your Friend. She's quick to befriend someone before she shyly talks about the work she's put in that found her as the most played musician on KJHK's music charts for two straight weeks. Instead she wants to talk about other bands she likes, or poets she's read, or how the friends she makes music with are her real inspiration.
But right now Miller is the top played musician on the University's campus radio KJHK. The station's music director Jake Waters said he hasn't seen a local artist at the top of the charts since he started working at the campus radio station in 2011.
Miller said that Waters sent her a text message to tell her that she hit No. 1. She didn't really understand it, because she wasn't sure how the station determined which song was the top track. Waters said the charts list the most played song for the week, and she is played on the station about 15-25 times a week. She was No. 1 on the Oct. 29 and the Nov. 5 charts at the station.
"That's huge to me." Miller said. "I don't know how to feel about it, because I feel really humbled that they would play it as often as they do. But there's so much music out there that's coming out left and
right. For it to take up airtime is kind of crazy."
Miller's relationship with the station actually began more than a year ago when she played a live set at the station last fall. Back then she still stylized her stage name as Y[our] Fri[end]. She dropped the brackets a few months ago, but that hasn't stopped people from being confused by her name.
"I didn't even think about how much is in that, like the ideas about being someone's friend." Miller said of the clever stage name she stumbled upon. "It does piss people off, though. People will tell their friends that they are going to see Your Friend, and they will say 'Who's my friend?'"
Miller's stage name couldn't be
more appropriate, though, because she can't stop finding herself creating music with her friends. She began playing guitar when she was 14, has been writing music since she was a freshman in high school, and now she plays multiple instruments in
four musical projects. She performs constantly. Last week she played Thursday night, Friday night and then again on Sunday night. She plays with one of her bands Oils tonight at the Jazzhaus.
"I'm in CS Luxem, Oils, my project, and I'm playing drums in another band now called Hush Machine," Miller said.
her own music for Your Friend.
That's Taryn Miller: a busy musician that wrote and recorded her EP "Jekyll/Hyde" in her North Lawrence home and self released the record on Aug. 17. She's a musical handyman playing bass in her roommates' alternative band Oils, guitar and vocals in smooth rock band CS Luxem, drums in "shimmer guitar" project Hush Machine and on top of that she writes
But her personal project may be the hardest to explain musically. She uses six guitar pedals to make certains sounds to create music that may only be identified as "ambient." Miller's roommate and bandmate Andrew Frederick had to take a few seconds to think before he could come up with the right words.
"She has a great ability to create a space with her voice and with her melodies."
"It's sort of atmospheric, in that her voice creates the atmosphere," Frederick said. "She has a great ability to create a space with her voice and with her melodies."
So far, it doesn't matter how you describe her music because people are going to listen regardless. Miller hasn't even performed outside of the state yet but she said she's been
ANDREW FREDERICK Bandmate and roommate
hearing from fans across the country and even in the UK.
Once she graduates in December she hopes to get out of Kansas and on the road, but those plans
aren't cemented yet. She still has a full-time job at the local record store Love Garden and wants to keep living in Lawrence.
Miller has been getting bands from the area asking for her to help them get shows, or for her to come play with them. As her popularity increases, she will still act as the same old Taryn Miller, a local musician who grew up in Winfield, Kan., and likes to create sounds with her friends.
"I've been really trying to respond to everybody", Miller said. "I don't want that to happen, where I'm ignoring people."
That's Taryn Miller; your friend

Save time this winter by preparing meals in a slow cooker
CASSIDY RITTER
critter@kansan.com
With a drop in temperature and steady pileup of assignments and tests to finish off the semester, time seems to be running short, and slow cooker meals are becoming ideal for busy students.
Slow cookers are generally around $15 to $80 depending on the size. These meals are easy 5 to 10 minute meals that are warm and ready to be served upon walking through the door.
Chicken Stuffing
One of the easiest recipes is the slow cooker version of chicken stuffing. Plus, this recipe only requires five ingredients, one of which is water.
Ingredients:
ingredients:
4 frozen chicken breasts
6 oz. package stuffing mix
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup water
First, mix the sour cream, water,
cream of chicken soup and stuffing
mix in bowl. Put a thin layer
of this mixture in the bottom of the
slow cooker. Then place the frozen
chicken in the slow cooker. To top it off, cover the chicken with the rest of the sour cream and stuffing mixture. Make sure the chicken is not resting on the bottom or sticking to the sides of the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for five hours or until the chicken is falling apart and has no pink in the middle. Turn the slow cooker off and dinner is served.
Fluff up the stuffing a bit for a better look.
Cheesy spaghetti with turkey sausage
Not in the mood for something so heavy? Try this low-fat version of spaghetti. While this recipe requires more prep time than most, the homemade turkey sausage can be substituted for pre-packaged sausage.
Turkey sausage ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground turkey
¼ tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. dried sage
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. dried oregano
Pasta ingredients:
1 (24 oz.) jar of spaghetti sauce
8 oz. uncooked 100% whole-wheat
spaghetti (about 2/3 of a 13.25 oz. box)
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 cup skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tbsp. chopped basil
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Kosher salt (to taste)
CHEESE TACO
The first step is making the turkey sausage (these steps can be skipped if you choose to use pre-packaged sausage). Add all of the ingredients for the sausage into a large mixing bowl and mix completely. Cook the ground turkey sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking into small pieces. After it loses its pink color, remove the skillet from the heat, drain the skillet of any fat then set aside. Break the uncooked spaghetti into pieces. After, combine the jar of spaghetti
sauce, meat and uncooked spaghetti pieces in a medium bowl. Add the remaining pasta ingredients to the medium bowl and stir. Last, add everything in the medium bowl to the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker and allow it to cook on low for 2-3 hours or until the spaghetti is cooked and the cheese is bubbly. Bon appétit, you are ready to serve and enjoy.
Enchilada tacos with chili-lime sour cream
If Mexican food is on the mind, try this recipe for enchilada tacos with chili-lime sour cream. This recipe has endless options and can be made with pork or chicken.
INGREDIENTS:
8 oz. sour cream
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. paprika or smoked paprika
1 lime
2 lbs. frozen chicken (thighs or breasts)
1 can enchilada sauce
Corn tortillas
Shredded lettuce (optional)
Shredded queso quesadilla cheese, or
crumbled queso fresco (optional)
10 prep, start with the chili-lime sour cream sauce. Add the sour cream, chili powder, cumin, and paprika into a small bowl. Then cut up the lime and squeeze the juice into the bowl as well. Mix all these ingredients together, cover and refrigerate. Place the chicken or pork into the slow cooker and cover with the can of enchilada sauce. Here is where you can add a little variety by adding chopped onions, diced green chiles or jalapenos to the

slow cooker. Either way, make sure the chicken is not sticking to the sides or bottom of the slow cooker— it will burn if it is. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for six hours or until the meat is thoroughly cooked. When the meat is
done, place it into a bowl and shred it. Add a few tablespoons of the enchilada sauce to the shredded meat to make it moist. Heat up a few tortillas, place the shredded meat on the tortilla, and add lettuce and cheese if desired, as well as sour
cream.
With a busy schedule, it's nice to come home to a warm, ready-to-eat meal and slow cookers do just that. Enjoy!

Socialist candidate takes lead in Seattle City Council race
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Voters in left-leaning Seattle, where police recently handed out snacks at a large marijuana festival and politicians often try to out liberal each other, are close to electing a Socialist candidate to the City Council.
In this photo taken Nov. 4, 2013, a supporter of Socialist candidate for Seattle City Council Kshama Sawant, holds campaign materials outside a City Council meeting in Seattle. Sawant is challenging four-term Councilman Richard Conlin.
Following the latest ballot count Tuesday night, Kshama Sawant had a 402-vote lead over 16-year incumbent Richard Conlin.
Given Washington state's mail-in voting system, a winner won't be named for days or even weeks after the Nov. 4 election.

Sawant, 41, drew attention as part of local Occupy Wall Street protests that included taking over a downtown park and a junior college campus in late 2011. She then ran for legislative office in 2012, challenging the powerful speaker of the state House, a Democrat. She was easily defeated.

"I think we have shown the strongest skeptics that the Socialist label is not a bad one for a grassroots campaign to succeed," said Sawant, who is on leave from
her job as an professor at Seattle Central Community College.
During her campaign, she condemned economic inequality, contending that some people aren't benefiting from the city's declining jobless rate, ongoing recovery from the recession, and downtown building boom.
"This is one of wealthiest cities in the wealthiest country in the world," she said. "For people to struggle for basic needs is absurd."
City Council races are technically non-partisan in Seattle. Sawant, however, made sure people knew she was running as a Socialist, a label that would ensure defeat in many areas of the country.
Socialists have run for office in
Seattle before Before Sawant, the most successful candidate was Yolanda Alaniz, who in 1991 emerged from the primary in second place but was easily defeated in the general election.
"There were certainly populist
candidates," said Cline, the city archivist. "I don't think any of them you could remotely call Socialist. Certainly there has never been anybody who has run as strongly as Sawant has."

No injuries reported after explosion at Oregon office
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEDFORD, Ore. — An explosive device that police say was designed to destroy an Oregon county prosecutor's office instead blew out windows in a pre-dawn blast Wednesday that did little other damage.
The FBI said it was too early to say whether the blast in Jackson County was terror-related, but Medford Police Chief Tim George said he considered the explosion a domestic terror attack aimed at law enforcement.
No one was hurt when the device fashioned in part from a 5-gallon propane tank exploded. Police say it failed to fully detonate.
About 25 federal investigators from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Seattle and Portland were joining the effort to gather evidence about the explosive device, George said.
"The most important thing in these cases, as we've seen over the years, is the methodical collection of evidence." George said. "I would bet the house on it, we are going to clear this case."
After the explosion, a silver-colored propane tank, similar to those
used for camping, lay dented on its side in front of the broken windows at the prosecutor's office.
Two windows near the entrance were broken out of the one-story brick building across a quiet neighborhood street from the jail and courthouse. Yellow crime scene tape surrounded the building and evidence markers dotted the parking lot.
"The bomb bomb on scene said had it detonated, there would have been devastation at the scene and the building would have been destroyed." said Medford police spokesman Lt. Mike Budurew. "We believe there was something else attached to (the propane tank) that was intended to blow it up, but was not successful."
No one was inside the building when the blast hit around 4:30 a.m. When investigators arrived, the tank was burning, and it continued to burn until the propane ran out, police said.
Budreau said police were searching for a man who ran from an officer several blocks away, but it's unclear if he had anything to do with the explosion.
George said there were no suspects and no indications of the motive. While the district attorney's office regularly gets threats from people, none stand out as potentially related, he said.
"I think it is domestic terrorism, absolutely," due to the type of explosive device and the intent to do heavy damage to the district attorney's office, George said. "We don't know what the message was. We don't know what the intent was."
Police withheld details of the explosive device, such as how it was detonated and what kind of explosive was used.
Police went house to house warning people to stay indoors and cleared a large area around the office out of fears there might be other explosive devices, but tightened the closed area after none was found.
The district attorney's office was closed, with a skeleton crew working at another site, District Attorney Beth Heckert said. The courthouse was to reopen in the afternoon, and grand jury proceedings in unrelated cases were to resume Thursday.
George said authorities were making a point of not allowing the explosion to disrupt their regular duties.
A damaged propane tank lays among debris in front of the Jackson County District Attorney's office after an explosion shattered windows and damaged the building's interior Wednesday in Medford, Ore. Officers say they found a burning propane tank in front of the prosecutor's office after an explosion they believed was an attempt to level the building.

Three students shot outside Pittsburgh high school

ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Three Pittsburgh high school students heading to their vehicle after classes ended were shot Wednesday afternoon, and police investigating whether the shooting stemmed from a drug-related dispute had six people in custody for questioning, school and police officials said.
The victims were shot outside Brashear High School as they walked to a vehicle they'd all taken to school earlier in the day, school district spokeswoman Ebony Pugh said. Nearby residents said they heard seven or eight shots.
The wounds of the victims, all boys, appeared to be non-life-threatening, both Pugh and police spokeswoman Diane Richard said, though their descriptions of the wounds differed slightly. Pugh said two students were grazed in the head and one was shot in both the foot and arm. Richard said one was grazed in the neck and shoulder, but not the head.
voice believe the shooting might stem from a drug-related fight between some students last month, Richard said. Neither she nor school district officials immediately provided more details.
Six people were brought in for questioning, Pittsburgh public safety director Michael Huss said about two hours after the shooting. Police said some were current or former students, but Richard wouldn't say whether any were considered suspects or necessarily going to be charged.
"There are no arrests at this time, though we have some folks of interest," Huss said. "Our police need the time to do a thorough job here and we need to give them that time."
Acting police Chief Regina McDonald confirmed, however, that police had stopped searching for gunmen, and Huss said. "The situation is under control."
None of the victims immediately spoke or cooperated with police, Richard said. All were listed
in good to stable condition at city hospitals, she said. Two are 17 and one is 16.
The student who was shot in the head was found inside the school, though that's because he "made his way back to the school, and was pulled back inside by one of the administrators," Richard said.
one stressed, "There was no shooting at Brashear school. ... The shooting did not happen in the school."
Brashear, with about 1,400 students in grades nine through 12 about two miles south of downtown, was locked down briefly, though students were released to their parents about 90 minutes after the shooting.
According to a Safe Schools report filed annually with the state, Brashear had 97 incidents involving 138 people during the 2012-13 school year, but none resulted in a police response or arrests. Forty-seven students were disciplined for fighting, the report said.

University Theatre to open tech adaptation of musical
PAIGE STINGLEY
pstingley@kansan.com
The University theater department is opening its show, Adding Machine, on Friday. Adapted from the original 1923 play by Elmer Rice, with elements taken from the 1995 University Theatre production, "Adding Machine" is a whole new type of musical.
"It's not your typical musical. It's more of a dark and funny, yet thought-provoking comedy," said director Mechele Leon.
The production, which lasts 90 minutes, features main character Mr. Zero. Mr. Zero, played by Michael Wysong, a freshman from Larned, has been working at the same accounting firm for 25 years when he loses his job to a mechanical adding machine. After murdering his boss, the audience is taken through the exciting ride of Mr. Zero's trial, execution, and journey into the afterlife.
"Mr. Zero is not the type of character you expect to see in a musical. He's grumpy, he's racist, he's very much an anti-hero...but he makes you think," said Wysong.
Director Mechele Leon and scenic designer Mark Reaney have created a digital 3-D-like staging effect that allows the audience to interact with the production. Using projectors and cameras, crewmembers create a "virtual reality" on stage rather than having the traditional built sets.
A live feed camera captures actors facial expressions off stage and projects them on stage, allowing the audience to feel like they are inside the show, not just watching from their seats.
"It creates more of a game environment than actual scenery. The projections change as actors move and as the story progresses," said Leon.
The cast is made up of nine students, both graduates and undergraduates.
"They all work really well together," said Leon. "This show is really challenging to put together, but their personalities have really come together and they pull it off very well."
The cast has been preparing the show for almost two months now.
The show opens this Friday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in Murphy Hall and will continue to run through Sunday, Nov. 24.
"We're like one big family," said Wysong. "We've been together since day one and we've really grown close to each other."
Tickets are $18 for the public, $17 for seniors and KU faculty/staff, and $10 for students. Seating is very limited so advance reservations are strongly recommended.
This production includes offensive language and it not appropriate for younger audiences.

Danforth Chapel an underutilized building, piece of campus history
KATIE MCBRIDE
kmcbride@kansan.com
Tucked away just off of Jayhawk Boulevard, there's a quiet, peaceful place that passersby often overlook every day.
Inside this quaint, limestone, redroofed building, the outside world hardly seems to exist. The only sound heard is the unobtrusive hum of the air conditioning. The stillness and subtle lighting create a "quiet, comforting spiritual oasis for students," wrote John McCool in an article for KU History.
The building is the Danforth Chapel, located behind Fraser, between 14th Street and Lilac Lane. The chapel was originally built to be used by students for personal meditation and prayer, though many people believe it is reserved solely as a site for weddings, christenings, memorial services and meetings.
The idea for building the chapel started with a meeting between William Danforth and KU Chancellor Deane Malott in 1944. Despite the country still being at war, Danforth felt that construction of the chapel should begin as soon as possible.
"While this may not be the best time for building, I have an idea that our campus is ready right now for a spiritual awakening, so I don't think we should necessarily wait until after the war is over." Danforth said.
Over time, the chapel has moved from being strictly Christian to non-denominational, and rather than acting as a place for formal worship, is available for students to decide how they wish to use it, whether that is for religious prayer or more secular reflection.
When the chapel is not bustling with the activity of ceremonies and events, it is open every weekday from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.for anyone who seeks a peaceful sanctuary away from the hectic pace of campus.
Danforth's idea of a spiritual awakening was for students to have a place to go for meditation or prayer that would "never be locked or darkened," wrote McCool.
Samy Mousa, a junior from Toronto, wasn't even aware of the existence of the chapel until a few weeks ago, when he stumbled upon it one day while killing time between classes.
As Mousa walked down Jayhawk
Boulevard, he noticed the building behind a tree brimming with fall leaves, and decided to take a peek inside.
He pulled the door open and stepped inside, not sure what he would find. Immediately, he was struck by the change in energy from the street just outside its doors.
"It was completely peaceful." Mousa said.
As he walked through the entryway into the main part of the chapel, he slowly let out his breath, not realizing he had been holding it in, in an attempt to prevent any disruption of the quiet.
He took a seat in one of the short rows of pews, and observed the small sanctuary.
Although Mousa said he does not affiliate with any religion, he found that the chapel provided a
He looked around at the simple white walls, stained glass windows with intricate patterns of blue and specs of red, yellow, and green, and the carpet with swirling spirals of lines and leaves.
He noticed the tall, peaked ceiling supported by dark wooden beams.
serene place to be alone with one's thoughts.
"I have so many different things going on all the time, it's like I never stop moving or jumping from one thing to the next," Mousa said. "But that all seemed to stand still. I could just think about one thing without being distracted by anything else."
While he's not sure if he'll be able to take the time to stop by very often, he said it's good to know that it's always there if he feels like escaping from the day for a few minutes.
Danforth had ambitious visions for what the chapel would become to students, and chose to include in the inscription in the front of the chapel his hope that "those who enter may acquire the spiritual power to aspire nobly, adventure daringly, serve humely."
"I left there feeling like my mind was so much clearer," Mousa said. "I don't remember the last time I stopped and thought about all the things running through my head. It was a chance to just slow down and reflect."

S
COMMENTARY Wiggins isn't only NCAA star
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Andrew Wiggins has experienced some backlash the last month from writers and fans across the country who built up his legend to a point where any game under 50 points was a disappointment and a reason he shouldn't be taken with the first pick in next summer's NBA draft (I'm looking at you, Jeff Goodman at ESPN).
He had a good game in his collegiate opener (16 points, three rebounds) but most of the talk remained for the other two freshmen high-lighting Tuesday's Champions Classic—Duke's Jabari Parker and Kentucky's Julius Randle.
Randle didn't disappoint,
finishing with 27 points and
13 rebounds.
Parker was fantastic as well, also finishing with 27 points and nine rebounds.
Wiggins struggled with foul problems in the first half and played only 25 minutes on the night. Those 25 minutes though, were about as efficient as you can ask for: 22 points, 9-15 from the field, eight rebounds, and only one turnover. Oh, and when he decided to guard Jabari Parker in the second half, he outscored him 16-8.
And unlike Randle and Parker, it came in a winning effort.
While Randle dominated the ball for Kentucky, while committing eight turnovers, and Parker took eight more shots than any other Duke teammate. Kansas played even with Duke as Wiggins sat out with those early fouls. When he played, though, fans saw glimpses of a trio that could surpass any other group in the country by March: Wiggins, Wayne Selden and Perry Ellis. The three underclassmen took 38 of the Jayhawks' 57 shots against Duke, scoring 61 of the team's 94 points. Ellis shot nearly 70 percent from the field and led the team with 24 points, while Selden played 38 minutes with 15 points.
And that's not counting young players like Joel Embiid, Brannen Greene and Frank Mason (who else was shocked by Mason's 15-point performance against Duke?), who have shown early flashes of brilliance.
The Jayhawks are deep is the point. And while Wiggins is the most talented player Bill Self has ever coached and a future NBA All-Star, he won't have to shoulder the load every night for this team to make a run in the NCAA Tournament. Luckily for fans, though, he will most nights. And it will be fun to watch.

THE MORNING BREW
Don't neglect lesser-known sports this Olympics
W with the Winter Olympics in Sochi less than three months away, the U.S. pre-Olympic
trial season has officially started. The first of those trials runs until November 16th in Fargo, N.D., and showcases five men's teams and four women's teams competing to represent America in curling come February. Competition will be heated as only one team from each of the men's and women pools will be selected. While the first place women's team receives an automatic Olympic bid for the U.S., the men's team will still have another qualifying round in Füssen, Germany. From Dec. 11 to Dec. 15, they will compete against other countries hoping to claim one of the
Curling is a relatively new Winter Olympic sport, gaining medal status in 1992, but its history stretches hundreds of years before that. Tracing as far back as the 1600s, curling clubs began to form in Scotland during the 19th century, and the sport spread when Scots immigrated to colder climate countries bringing their beloved sport with them.
By Matt Corte
mcorte @kansan.com
Olympic curling matches today are composed of four players on each team, with both receiving eight stones to deliver throughout the game. The 150x16 ft ice surface curling is played on is called the "sheet," and it consists of two scoring zones called the "house." Each house has three concentric circles with a white middle called the "tee," and that tee is the determent of whether a team will score or not. During an "end", which in curling is a round of play, each team will have two players deliver two stones. After a stone leaves the deliverer's hand, two of his teammates are able to sweep the ice
in front of the moving stone with brooms in order to speed it up, slow it down, or even change its direction. All of this is done in hopes of placing the stone as close to the tee as possible. At the conclusion of an end the team with the closest stone or stones to the scoring tee will receive the points. The match is won by the team with the most points after ten ends, and if the score is tied a sudden death end is played to determine a winner.
THE BREW
Odds are that curling won't be on center stage at the XXII Olympics in Sochi with athletes like Shaun White and global sports such as hockey dominating the media and
headlines, but it's still no reason to forget the little guys. Like most athletes, curlers train year round to proudly represent their country in the Olympics, so come February cheer them on like you would U.S. hockey or bobsled. The U.S. men's and women's curling teams aren't favored to medal in Sochi, but with some extra support from fans they could find themselves holding a gold medal for the first time in U.S. Olympic history.

Early in the second half, Asia Boyd found herself wide open at the top of the key. She let her fourth three-pointer of the game go and watched it fall through the net, for the fourth time.
Seconds early on the previous possession, she hit a three-pointer from the corner, en route to an 18-point scoring night on 6-10 shooting, including 4-5 from beyond the arc. Boy helped the Kansas women's basketball team to a 72-56 victory over the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars Wednesday night.
to make another one, so that's just what happens," Boyd said about her shooting performance.
Chelsea Gardner led the team with 19 points on 5-7 shooting from the field and 9-10 from the free-throw line.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson said that against a smaller team, which the Cougars are, the gameplan was to throw it inside to Gardner.
"I thought we were pretty opportunistic at times with throwing it in to Chelsea," Henrickson said. "Sometimes we missed her."
This left the perimeter players open at times, and the Cougars dared the Jayhawks to shoot the long jump shots. Kansas connected on 6-18 three-point shots.
Kansas led from the beginning, starting the game on a 16-2 run
included Boyd's first three-pointer, two lay-ups from Gardner and a three-pointer by Natalie Knight. The Cougars' only lead was 2-0 on the first basket of the game.

Starting point guard Lamaria Cole had a productive night with new career highs in points, steals and assists. She scored eight points, had six steals and passed out five assists to go along with three turnovers.
The fieldhouse was loudest after her lay-up with 12:32 left in the game. Cole had a steal near mid-court and raced toward the basket and laid it in.

Henrickson said she was pleased by the team's effort, but there are aspects to work on, including offensive rebounding.

STARTING LINEUP
OFFENSE
The Kansas offense is ugly. The unit hasn't scored more than 20 points in any of its last eight games, but now that the team is entering the easier part of its Big 12 conference schedule, the chance to break the nasty spell isn't as bad as it usually is. And it's likely that there will be a different person to blame or applaud after Saturday's result. Weis has hinted towards freshman dual threat quarterback Montell Cozart taking over the starting role. On Wednesday, running back James Sims said from what he's seen, he would think Cozart will start Saturday.
DEFENSE
KANSAS
The defense has settled into a consistently performing unit for Kansas. It's a unit that bends, but doesn't break. They've been the only chance Kansas has had in some of its losses this season, but with some of the worse offenses left on the schedule for the Jayhawks, it wouldn't be far fetched for the defense to force a handful of turnovers like it did early in the season.

KANSAS
QUESTION MARKS
Will Montell Cozart rise to the occasion? If there are still Kansas football fans around, they are wondering who their quarterback will be next year. There's another transfer quarterback coming, the shadow over Heaps is getting bigger every week, and now there's a running quarterback taking the majority of the snaps. Cozart cut plays back across the field many times last week. Those type of players need confidence. If Cozart can get the remaining fan base behind him, it will be interesting to see if he snags the starter spot for the remainder of the season.

MICHAEL STRICKLAND/KANSAN
The Kansas offense huddles on the field during the Nov. 9 game against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla. The Jayhawks will face West Virginia on Nov. 16 at Memorial Stadium.
SPECIAL TEAMS
For starters, hopefully Kansas got its kickoff coverage in order. After allowing OSU to return the opening kickoff for a touchdown in Stillwater last Saturday the team was deflated. It was evident. OSU had scored enough points in 13 seconds to win the 60 minute game. Aside from that, new starting kicker Ron Doherty went 2-3 Saturday, missing his first attempt from 32 yards. Not a surprising Kansas kicker performance.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Montell Cozart. Likely, the stage will be Cozart's for the majority, if not entirety of Saturday's contest. Unlike Heaps, Cozart has the ability to make something of nothing. He converted key third downs last week with his feet to extend drives. There wasn't much to show for it, but it was better. It also didn't help that Cozart was being forced to run the option every other play. Last week, Cozart had to deal with repetitive play-calling. Because of his running ability, has been identified as a dual threat quarterback. Cozart, though, has yet to reach the 50 percent completion mark. Cozart may be able to take a blown up play for a positive game, but can he finish a blown up season on a positive note?
Edited by Jessica Mitchell
AT A GLANCE
Kansas has seemingly gone through the motions of a football season in reverse order. The offense has gotten progressively less productive, the defense has progressively allowed more points, and the team has a quarterback controversy. Going against one of the weaker teams in the Big 12 for the first time in almost a month, this week will be very telling of whether or not Kansas has actually gotten better as a football team.

STARTING LINEUP
OFFENSE
The Mountaineers are loaded with skilled players at the running back and wide receiver positions. The offense is based around running back Charles Sims, who is the team's best runner and one of the top receivers as well. Quarterback Clint Trickett can attack defenses deep down field and deliver the ball with touch.

The West Virginia defense has given up a lot of points this season, 47 against Texas, 35 against Kansas State and 37 against Texas Tech but the Mountaineers have proven that they can force teams into turnovers. Every one of West Virginia's opponents have had at least one turnover this season.

SPECIAL TEAMS
No longer can West Virginia count on the return yards of Tavon Austin helping them to good field position. For three years straight, Austin returned at least one kickoff for a touchdown. The Mountaineers have yet to return a kickoff or punt this season. West Virginia leads the Big 12 in average yards per punt at 40.92 yards.
COACHING
WEST VIRGINIA
In his third year as coach at West Virginia, Dana Holgorson's team has been on a losing slide, going from 10-3 in his first season to 7-6 last season. This year, at 4-6, the Mountaineers are guaranteed to win no more than six games. Holgorson leads an offense that has strengths in the passing and running game, and on runs a variety of different schemes on defense.
WV
BY THE NUMBERS
20 The number of times West Virginia punter Nick O'Toole has placed his punts inside the opponents 20-yard-line.
25. 3 The number of points that West Virginia averages per game this season.
QUESTION MARKS
It's still unclear whether or not starting quarterback Clint Trickett will play on Saturday after leaving the game against Texas with a head injury. West Virginia will have to overcome other injuries as well, but the question is, can they overcome these setbacks?
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF
West Virginia forces the Jayhawks into turnovers and reaches its average scoring of 25 points per game.
AT A GLANCE
West Virginia has a 4-6 record on the season and is still looking to make a bowl game, which makes the game in Lawrence a must-win for the Mountaineers. West Virginia is coming off two straight weeks of hard fought, tough games that both went into overtime.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Charles Sims has the rushing ability of James Sims, but can catch and get down field in a hurry like Tony Pierson. Sims is an NFL prospect who can be a dangerous player and used in a lot of different ways.

Senior running back James Sims talks 'crazy' career
CHRIS HYBL
chybl@kansan.com
In the summer of 2009, running back James Sims committed to the University of Kansas out of Irving MacArthur High in Irving, Texas. On Wednesday, Sims recalled calling home to his mother almost every day of freshman year wanting to leave.
Senior running back James Sims runs the ball during the Oct. 12 game against TCU in Fort Worth, Texas. Kansas lost 27-17.
But as a Jayhawk, he has never won a road game and has won only one Big 12 game. It's been a

bumpy ride, and now, Sims has only three games left in the crimson and blue.
KANSAS 9 29
"Time飞es by and
it's really starting
to hit me now that
it's almost over"
Sims said.
"Time flies by and it's really starting to hit me that it's almost over."
For Sims, the situation can be
described with one of his favorite words: crazy. His lackadaisical utterance of the word isn't close to embodying the emotions for which the word is intended.
On Wednesday, Sims countlessly said "it's crazy" in regards to how fast the time has flown and how little of it is left. But Sims' variety of experiences at the University are almost too plentiful to be restricted to the bounds of 'crazy'.
When Sims committed to Kansas, he passed up on offers from Arkansas, Utah, and Purdue. At that time, Sims was recruited by Mark Mangino's staff. On Mangino's staff, and leading the recruiting of Sims, was Kansas wide receiver coach David Beaty, former head coach at Sims' high school.
JAMES SIMS Senior running back
"I had known him [Beaty] since I was in middle school so I felt like me coming here and him being here was good," Sims said. "He was like a father figure to me so just being around him I knew I had someone around that at least knew, so that's why I picked here."
Then allegations of player abuse forced Mangino out of Kansas, a coach that had taken Kansas to bowl games in two of the last three seasons. Beaty was out and took the offensive coordinator position at Rice, but would return a year later in 2011 as co-offensive coordinator. Sims wasn't completely unfamiliar with Gill though, as he had recruited Sims out of high school as well. The following year, Gill was fired and Beaty left to take the wide receiver coaching job

"It's crazy to look at it like that but that's reality," Sims said. "That's the truth and that's what really happened."
at Texas A&M. Then, a big name, Charlie Weis, arrived and was met with expectations to turn the program around almost immediately. The coach he was initially recruited by had success, and now, Sims has only one more win (6) in his career than Mangino had in his last season at Kansas.
Comparing the team's results with Sims' individual success is heartbreaking. In each of Sims' four years at Kansas, he has averaged over four yards per carry. It's a great statistic considering the shakiness of the Kansas offensive line over the years. In addition,

the past four years. And with only three Big 12 games left to play, the chances to end the ugly 27 Big 12 loss streak and the 24 straight road game slide are numbered. The guy wants to win. He's long overdue.
"I just want wins", Sims said.
"Wins are better than stats."
But when he leaves, it will be just as easy for many to forget his body of work. When he leaves, Sims will go down as one of the best running Kansas has ever seen, but a
But it's not that Sims hasn't acknowledged that. Wins talk. That's something Sims knows and has reiterated that the most of any player wearing a Kansas uniform over
tarnished program record during his tenure may be all that fans see.
But through all the changes, the ups, the multitude of downs, Sims' production on the football field has always been around. For him, it's a priceless experience.

Hot-shooting Asia Boyd leads Jayhawks to victory
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

EVAN DUNBAR
With the Jayhawks struggling to shoot the ball from outside, Boyd came out firing in the first half, scoring the Jayhawks' first five points on a deep jumper and a 3-pointer. This began a 16-0 run for the Jayhawks after SIU-Edwardsville took an early 2-0 lead.
It was her second career start, but junior guard Asia Boyd looked like a seasoned veteran Wednesday night in Kansas' 72-56 win over the Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville Cougars.
"When you make one, you want to shoot another one," Boyd said.

"When she makes good decisions and does the little things, there's no limit for her."
"She's a confident kid, and we have confidence in her," Henrickson said.
"We've got to get on the glass [and] we've got to get a guard that gets on the glass," Henrickson said. "We've went too many halves without perimeter players hitting the offensive glass."
Boyd was not hesitant when the ball found its way into her hands, shooting it 10 times on the night.
Though she was disappointed with the rebounding efforts of the team, Henrickson said she was impressed with Boyd's ability to rebound the ball in traffic.
The Jayhawks struggled on the glass, and were out-rebounded by the Cougars 43-32. Of those 43 rebounds, 16 were offensive.
Henrickson said she has been impressed with Boyd's development into a starter, citing her work ethic and her ability to be coached.
Boyd finished with a career-high 18 points on the night, and also set career marks of six field goals

On a night where junior guard Natalie Knight shot only 1-9 from the field, the Jayhawks were looking for someone to step up, and Boyd did just that.
The Jayhawks take on Creighton this Sunday Nov. 17 at 4 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse in the last home game for Kansas until Dec. 4.
"As a team, we have confidence in her," junior forward Chelsea Gardner said. "She's gaining confidence, stepping up, making big plays, and knocking down big shots."

Javhawks prepare for Sunflower Showdown after loss
BLAIR SHEADE bsheade@kansan.com
The No. 24 Jayhawks (19-6, 9-3) had the midweek beye, after they lost to No. 1 ranked Te克斯 on Nov. 9, to be prepared for the final segment of the Sunflower Showdown against the Kansas State Wildcats (16-8, 4-7) on Saturday at the sold-out Horeisi Athletic Center.
On Nov. 9, four Jayhawks ended the match with double digit kills against a great blocking Texas team, that averages almost three blocks per game. The girls hit well and they were aggressive, but the team made some crucial errors said

"We were pretty relentless, but if we did a better job via serve or pass that game could have been a different outcome," Bechard said.
GEORGE MILLINIX/KANSAN
Bechard was talking about the five serving
son. When the in-state rivals met for the first time on Oct. 2, sophomore outside hitter Tiana Dockery, who led the team in hitting attempts against Kansas State, started instead of Carmichael.
"We were pretty relentless, but if we did a better job via serve or pass that game could have been a different outcome."
Dockery, who was voted to the 2012 B12 Conference All-Fresh-
"We have three great pin players in Dockery, McClinton and Carmichael that we have a lot of confidence in." Bechard said. "For a while it was Dockery carrying the load, then McClinton and now Cathy (Carmichael) has just been playing at a nice level... When she has been playing well, that elevates Dockery and McClinton too."

errors, three serve-receive errors and the three aces the Jayhawks allowed. The Jayhawks made a lot of defensive errors, but the offensive game was working. Redshirt senior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael and her team high of 13 kills kept the game close throughout the match, however the 25 Texas blocks were too much for the Jayhawks.
Carmichael hasn't played against the Kansas State Wildcats this seaman team, hasn't started a game since Carmichael has emerged as the starter on Oct. 19. Before Oct.19, the reason why Carmichael didn't play wasn't because she was performing poorly, instead Dockery and McClinton
were simply playing better volleyball, said Bechard.
"It was McClinton and Dockery playing at a high level and not that Cathy [Carmichael] was bad," Bechard said. "In volleyball, you get into a certain rhythm and you get into an offensive rhythm and when it's going well you leave it."
Since becoming the starter after the West Virginia match on Oct. 19, Carmichael shows the Big 12
Conference that she can play. Carmichael is one of the most dominating outside blockers in the Big 12 Conference, said Bechard.

Kansas is third in the Big 12 Conference averaging 2.61 blocks per set. Carmichael is sixth on the team with 26 blocks this season. Since Oct. 19, Carmichael is averaging .43 blocks per set, which is fourth on the team.
Carmichael was held to only two
"She is playing comfortable," Bechard said. "She senses that this is her last shot at this and she obviously has been attacking at a high level and she is a physical presence blocking too."
The Kansas State Wildcats are a great blocking team as well. The Wildcats are first in the Big 12 Conference by blocking almost three balls per set.
On Oct.2, the Wildcats were outblocked by the Jayhawks 20-18 in a 3-0 Kansas sweep in Manhattan, where Kansas State redshirt freshman setter Katie Brand led the Wildcats with five blocks.
Brand is second on the team with 93 total blocks this season, behind redshirt junior middle blocker Taylor Johnson. Johnson is averaging 1.36 blocks per set against Big 12 Conference opponents, which is
first within the Big 12.
Saturday will mark the 101st time that the Kansas and Kansas State volleyball programs will square off Kansas State leads the all-time record between the two teams 61-39.
The layhawks will try to avoid losing consecutive games this season at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, and the game will be available on ESPN3.com.

Kansas to host Creighton in Lawrence on Sunday
STELLA LIANG
sliang @kansan.com
Kansas (2-0) will play its thirdstraight game home when it hosts Creighton (1-1) on Sunday. The two teams competed recently, as the Kansas women's basketball team met Creighton early in the season last year and defeated the Blue lays in Omaha, Neb.
Current lajhwk guards, senior Cece Harper and junior Natalie Knight, helped Kansas to victory in that 58-48 match. Harper scored 10 points and Knight added nine points and four assists.
Sophomore Lamaria Cole will be counted on to run the point guard position. Cole is known for her speed and sometimes sped-up style of play. Following last week's season-opening victory against Oral Roberts, coach Bonnie Henrickson said Cole is still figuring out how to use her speed effectively. Against SIU-Edwardsville, Cole set new career highs in assists with five and steals with six.
Junior Chelsea Gardner is leading the Jayhawks in scoring so far. When she catches the ball down low, she is efficiently putting points on the board. Through the first two games of the season, she is making 71 percent of her field goals. She is also on the receiving end of many fouls in the paint and has converted 86 percent of her free throws.
"She's done a good job. As much as anything it's her ethical and her coachability and her discipline."

Wayne Selden, Jr., and Perry Ellis huddle with teammates during the Champions Classic on Tuesday. The Jayhawks defeated the Duke Blue Devils 94-83.
Victory over Duke not indicative of future play
As Southwest flight 601 flew over the outskirts of Kansas City, Mo., a familiar tune came over the public address system. A fight song — the Jayhawk fight song to be exact — accompanied passengers as they glided back down to Earth.
Those who were sleeping were certain their experience was no dream. Kansas had defeated Duke in the Champions Classic, if the giddy faces of overly excited Jay-hawk fans weren't already telling of the fact.
A loss for Kansas wouldn't have meant much more than a tally mark in the "L" column; a win makes it seem like this is a team of destiny. Reality says it's just November, and no one will make much of Tuesday's outcome until Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and Michigan State meet next year.
"The great thing about this is it matters, but in the big scheme of things it really doesn't," Self said after the 94-83 victory. "We want to play our best ball in February and March and the teams you saw tonight won't be the teams you see later on."
The game itself was more telling of what's to come than what was accomplished.
Some might have snucked when coach Bait Self said Perry Ellis could
By Blake Schuster bschuster@kansan.com
easily be the layhawks' leading scorer. There no laughnow later.
On a night when Andrew Wiggins was supposed to take down Jabari Parker it was Ellis - the least hyped stud for Kansas - who essentially matched Duke's star, point for point and board for board.
It was Brannen Greene who continued to knock down 3-pointers and Frank Mason who provided a spark off the bench.
It was Wiggins who skied for a dunk to put the jayhawks' lead out of reach, and in the most symbolic way possible. As Wiggins went up strong, Parker came in to contest the dunk from behind only to give
"I've been on Perry to be more aggressive," Self said. "He was the guy that kept us in the game and gave us a chance to win it late."
It was Wayne Selden Jr. who proved that he could handle playing point guard at this level and possibly beyond.
Kansas' freshman a shot at a 3-point play. Parker had fouled out, walking off the floor as Wiggins swished another free throw that could have been the dagger if it happened just a few moments earlier.
If it were up to Wiggins, he would've started guarding Parker off the opening tip, instead of taking on the challenge in the second half. The No. 1 overall recruit pleaded with Self to take on his media-annoted rival until he made the defensive switch on the floor himself. The result: Parker scored 11 less points in the final frame than he did in the first.
"I didn't put him on labari," Self said of Wiggins. "He just went to guard Jabari. I should have been listening to him the whole time."
That's one of the beauties of college, even the professors learn something new each day.
Kansas will continue learning, because that's what teams do in the early months of the season and at some point, they will likely fall. At least for a little while, Jayhawks fans were flying high above the hype on the ground.
If only the pilots on flight 601 would let them soar a little longer.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHAMPAIGN, III. — Aside from soft drinks, there isn't much at your typical college basketball arena that qualifies as kosher. Not the nachos, and certainly not the hot dogs.
"Whenever I went to a game up until now, the only thing I was able to buy was the soda," said Rabbi Dovid Tiechtel, a University of Illinois basketball fan who wears a "Jew of I t-shirt. "You can't bring food from the outside, and there's no place to go."
A panel of representatives from the Review Task Force will provide attendees with an overview of KU's progress on activities and practices related to accessibility.
So what are Jewish hoops fans to do? Starting this week, they can eat like anyone else while watching their favorite team at the State Farm Center.
The university's Chabad Jewish Center, run by Tiechtel, has opened its own stand this season and sells kosher dogs, candy and drinks. Students, Tiechtel and other volunteers will staff the stand most games, though they'll skip Friday nights and Saturday day games for religious reasons.
WHERE: Centennial Room of the Kansas Union
It appears to be a fairly unique concession among college arenas. The University of Kansas has one at Allen Fieldhouse, but half a dozen Big Ten schools, in response to inquiries by The Associated Press, said they did not have one.

WHEN: Thursday November 14, 2013 from 3:30-5pm
Many pro sports arenas have added kosher food in recent years and some universities have kosher student meal-plan options, said John Lowenstein, vice president of student affairs at the American Jewish Federation in Chicago. But college sports venues would be a nice addition for fans like himself who are accustomed to doing without at games.

On Sunday, opening night for the basketball stand, student and volunteers worked hard to pull in customers during a sparsely attended game. The pitch, repeated over and over as potential customers wandered by: "Would you like to try the best all-beef hot dog at the State Farm Center?"

"They're excellent, just the taste of them," said Cory Coker, a policeman from nearby who works security at games. "They've got a good taste to them, good crispness, good stuff."
"We're the trend-setter here — after we do it, everyone will do it!" Dovid Tiechtel said enthusiastically. "I'm getting calls from other campuses on the East Coast saying 'What did you do and how did you arrange it'."
Kosher can be complicated, but, for the hot dog stand's purposes, a handful of restrictions are most important. For instance, meat and milk aren't mixed, so you won't find anything made with

Professor's study shows recession affects young adults
CODY KUIPER
Friedline's study, which will
ckuiner@kansan.com
A new study from a University professor is proving that the aftermath of the 2009 recession wasn't limited to adults and the unemployed. Terri Friedline, an assistant professor of social welfare at the University, found that young people are reeling from the Great Recession into young-adulthood as well.
According to a study Friedline co-authored, young people who grew up in households that lost net worth during the recession only average $300 in savings. Children in households that didn't suffer financially have an average of $3,000 in savings.
Friedline said even though a difference of $2,700 may not seem like a huge amount on its face, the ramifications for the future outweigh the numerical difference between the two groups.
"Somebody with $3,000 in savings or assets can invest in other types of assets, work toward a down payment on a house or car, so they can start to kind of build wealth that will sustain and benefit them for the rest of their lives," Friedline said. "Three-hundred dollars is the minimum balance average at most banks across the U.S., so you can barely make it into a very initial asset and your money isn't free to go anywhere, so it's not a great foundation."
be published in the Journal of Family and Economic Issues, used economic data from 1999 to 2009 from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to see how American families' wealth was affected by the recession.
Friedline expects there to be psychological effects for young people as a result of the Great Recession, and while she's unsure of what they will be, she said older generations suggest they will be significant.
"When this study came out, I received a number of people who had lived through the Great Depression and experienced their households losing a lot of wealth and financial stability." Friedline said. "Those emails suggest to me that those individuals were impacted enough to recognize the research here and apply it to their own experiences a really long time ago, and that this was something that greatly impacted them."
Conner Coleman, a junior from Kansas City, said watching the effects of the recession play out while he was in high school altered his perspective on economics, making him more aware of his impending financial independence.
"I have to take into consideration everything everyone's gone through when I make my financial decisions now," Coleman said. "You hear about all the stories about people not being able to pay their bills and their houses are being foreclosed, so I'm definitely
a lot more conscious with my decisions now than I would have been." Other economic research has also suggested young adults have more to worry about than just savings. New data from the 2013 census shows that young adults are putting off making big economic decisions like moving away from home and starting a family. Only about 23 percent of adults ages 25- 29 moved in the past year, which economists think suggests that young adults are skeptical about moving to other cities to find jobs. According to a Pew Research Study in 2012, 22 percent of young adults say they have postponed having a child because of economic conditions as well.
Maria Berry, a senior from Overland Park, says she doesn't plan on moving back home after graduation, but that doesn't mean she won't be putting parts of her adulthood on hold.
Edited by Casey Hutchins
"I'm a waitress for a corporate company, and I think I'm going to have to have them transfer me to wherever I move after college until I can get on my feet," Berry said. "I don't plan on buying a house anytime soon either, because I don't think I would be able to afford one. It's a personal thing too. I don't want to do all that until I'm married and in my thirties."
HOW YOUNG ADULTS HAVE BEEN HIT FROM THE ECONOMIC DOWNTURN
People 18-34 years old:
49% have taken a job they didn't want just to pay the bills.
24% — have taken an unpaid job to gain experience.
31% - have postponed getting married or having a baby.
35% have gone back to school as a result of the poor economy.
24% - have moved back in with their parents after living on their own.
All ages:
75% — say it's harder now for young people to save for the future than it was for their parents' generation.
69% — say it harder for young people to buy a home than it was for their parents' generation.
71% — say it's harder for young people now to pay for college than it was for their parents' generation.

WEATHER
WASHINGTON, III. — Dozens of tornadoes and intense thunderstorms swept across the Midwest on Sunday, leaving at least five people dead and unleashing powerful winds that flattened entire neighborhoods, flipped over cars and uprooted trees.
Tornadoes, damaging storms sweep across the Midwest
Illinois took the brunt of the fury as the string of unusually powerful late-season tornadoes tore across the state, injuring dozens and even prompting officials at Chicago's Soldier Field to evacuate the stands and delay the Bears game.
"The whole neighborhood's gone. The wall of my fireplace is all that is left of my house," said Michael Perdun, speaking by cellphone from the hard-hit central Illinois town of Washington, where he said his neighborhood was wiped out in a matter of seconds. "I stepped outside and I heard it coming. My daughter was already in the basement, so I ran downstairs and grabbed her, crouched in the laundry room and all of a sudden I could see daylight up the stairway and my house was gone."
An elderly man and his sister were killed when a tornado hit their home in the rural southern Illinois community of New Minden, said coroner Mark Styninger. A third person died in Washington, while two others perished in Massacus County in the far southern
In Washington, a rural community of 16,000, whole blocks of houses were erased from the landscape, and Illinois State Police Trooper Dustin Pierce said the tornado cut a path from one end of town to the other, knocking down power lines, rupturing gas lines and ripping off roofs.
With communications difficult and many roads impassable, it remained unclear how many people were killed or hurt. The Illinois National Guard said it had dispatched 10 firefighters and three vehicles to Washington to assist with immediate search and recovery operations.
part of the state, said Patti Thompson of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency. She did not provide details.
An auto parts store with several people inside was reduced to a pile of bricks, metal and rebar; a battered car, its windsheild impaled by a piece of lumber, was flung alongside it. Despite the devastation, all the employees managed to crawl out of the rubble unhurt, Pierce said.
"I went over there immediately after the tornado, walking through the neighborhoods, and I couldn't even tell what street I was on," Washington Adler Tyler Tereg told WLS-TV.
"Just completely flattened — some of the neighborhoods here in town, hundreds of homes."
By nightfall, Trooper Pierce said there were reports of looting in Washington.

MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
Students create weekly video game podcast
Brendan Jester, Courtney Osborn and Jess Guibeau record a segment of their weekly podcast, "Middle of Nowhere Gaming." The podcast focuses on answering gaming questions, reviewing new releases and covering weekly topics.

THE LAST REJU
ASSA CREE BLACK
There is a feeling of business-as-usual as Courtney Osborn sound checks before recording part of Middle of Nowhere Gaming, a gaming-themed podcast and website.
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Osborn, a junior from Altoona,
Kan., founded Middle of Nowhere
Gaming, or MONG for short,
with Jess Guilbeaux, a freshman
from Kansas City, Kan., and
Brendan Jester, a freshman from
Wichita, Kan., in September.
The three of them gathered last Tuesday night in Osborn's apartment to record their eighth podcast. MONG's success is a result of the group's commitment to the idea and their shared love of video games, as well as the leadership of Osborn.
STARTING FROM SCRATCH
This is Osborn's third year at the University and his fifth year of college. He obtained his Associate of Science degree from Independence Community College in 2011. Afterward, he transferred to the University, changed his major from software engineering to education and the outgoing, out-of-tower started adjusting to the University's large student population.
"My first year at KU was a big transition for me," Osborn said. "It took me a long time to start talking to people."
During this transition period, he became more involved in a lifelong hobby: video games.
"It's something I enjoy because I can do things I can't do in real life," Osborn said. "I can't dunk a ball in real life, I can't throw a touchdown pass for KU, I can't wield a sword and fight a dragon. All of these exciting things in the world that I'm not able to experience, and games allow me to on a daily basis."
While video games had been a lifelong passion, it was a sudden realization that made Osborn seriously consider creating MONG.
"What drove me to actually start it was that I realized I'm going to be done with college soon," Osborn said. "And I don't know how many opportunities after college there will be to do something like this."
So he reached out to friends, other students and the internet to find people who may be interested in the project. After interviewing a few students, he decided on Guilbeaux and Jester. Together they brainstormed and came up with the name "Middle of Nowhere Gaming," referencing the reputation Kansas has in the larger national psyche.
PERSONALITY IS JUST PART OF THE GAME
Part of the appeal of MONG is the personality of the group as well as their unique content. During one transition of the podcast, the group joked:
"We should have a jingle," Guil beaux said.
"Yes we need a jingle. Quick, Brendan, come up with a jingle," Osborn said.
Jester sang the McDonald's jingle while the group laughed.
"No Brendan, we can't steal a jingle," Osborn said.
While that exchange was spontaneous, the typical format of the podcast is divided into four parts. First, the group talks about general updates in their lives, the website, etc. In "News from Nowhere," the group talks about the most recent gaming news. This is followed by "Topics of the week," which describes what games the members are playing. To end the
show, the group answers listener-submitted questions.
After the first podcast in September, Guilbeaux received a question about being a girl who plays video games, something considered unusual in gaming culture.
"It's not weird, but you're aware that you're not common," Guilbeau said.
The members' personalities also show on their website. In addition to two freelance writers who are not University students, the three write a variety of articles for the site. The articles range from game reviews to editorials like Jester's blog post about changes between
the first and second "Assassin's Creed" games, or personal stories like Osborn's "Coming Home: My PlayStation story."
A GROWING AUDIENCE
"Ive listened to all but one of them now," said Eric McGrane, a junior from Haven, Kan.
The podcasts and website are seeing a positive response so far. The group has more than 500 likes on Facebook and has a growing University student audience.
McGrane said he isn't an avid gamer, but he listens so he can be informed on what's going on with video games.
success to their content and public outreach, as well as recent gaming trends such as the release of the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One.
"The arrow is pointing up right now." Osborn said.
Osborn attributes MONG's
While the group isn't sure if this experience will turn into a career after college, they are enjoying every minute of it.

SLEEP DEPRIVED
All-nighters pose health risk to students
TOM QUINLAN
tquinlan@kansan.com
College students may be losing more than sleep by pulling ill-nighters, according to recent research. Students not getting enough rest may also be leaving themselves more vulnerable to disease.
Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center conducted a study examining the relationship between the sleep cycles of mice and the health of their immune systems. The study which was published in the Nov. 8 issue of Science concluded that an interrupted sleep cycle due to jet lag or a lack of sleep may directly weaken the body's immune system.
The study was carried out by interrupting the normal sleep cycle of mice and observing their vulnerability to inflammatory diseases compared with a control group that had normal sleep cycles. The mice with irregular sleep cycles displayed a stronger inflammatory response to a chemical irritant than the mice with regular sleep
cycles, indicating a weakened immune system.
The researchers linked the weakened immune system to the mice's circadian clock. According to University professor of microbiology Steve Benedict, the circadian clock
VINCENT JERKOVICH Senior at the University
"If you've waited up to a certain point, you're going to have to pull an n--nighter regardless of the risks."
is the biochemical mechanism which helps organisms recognize the time of day and regulate processes such as eating, sleeping and metabolism accordingly. The study suggests circadian clocks play a specific role in producing certain immune cells which help fight disease. The researchers believe if a person does not get enough sleep, their circadian clock becomes out of sync which may
weaken the immune system and leave them more susceptible to sickness.
Benedict cautions that this study focused on only a few of the variables affecting the immune system which is incredibly complex. He explained it is established that adequate amounts of sleep are necessary for good health, but it is still largely unknown in what specific ways sleep helps people stay healthy.
Even with news of these findings, many University students may still risk sickness by studying through the night. Senior Vincent Jerkovich does not believe that a single night without sleep will jeopardize his health but avoids developing a habit of it. Jerkovich also sees getting schoolwork done as a necessity, especially if a person has procrastinated.
"If you've waited up to a certain point, you're going to have to pull an all-nighter regardless of the risks," said Jerkovich.

TIPS FOR STUDENTS TO STAY HEALTHY
1. Always wash your hands after using the restroom and before eating.
2. Break up studying into smaller segments to manage stress.
3. Eat a balanced diet and have three meals a day.
4. Exercise at least 2-3 times a week, even if it's just for 15 minutes.

5. Never share food or drinks.

Half-grown T. rex fossil could answer questions
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A Kansas fossil hunter has unearthed the remains of what is believed to be a half-grown Tyrannosaurus rex from Montana that could help fill a void in paleontologists' understanding of the king of the dinosaurs.
Robert Detrich, of Wichita, Kan. unearthed the fossil dubbed "Baby Bob" in July in a fossil-rich area near the eastern Montana town of Jordan. It's generating excitement because its femur measures about 25 inches, and if all the preliminary data pins out, that would make it among the smallest T. ex specs ever found.
"This is the discovery everyone wishes and long for." Detrick said. Detrich has been sharing his findings with other researchers, including the Smithsonian Institution. Scientists are eager to learn more about the years before the carnivore reached its terrifying full size of about 40 feet from head to toe. Detric estimates that Baby Bob was about half that size.
"We hardly know anything about how T. rex grew up," said Thomas Carr, director of the Carthage Institute of Paleontology at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wis. "We really only have a handful of fossils of sub-adults and juveniles, so any
additional fossils that can fill in that early end of the growth period is scientifically very important because most of the skeletons of rex that we have are from adults."
Another juvenile fossil also could help settle a debate about whether the T. rex has a smaller cousin, called the nantyrannus, or nano for short. Bakker is among certain there are two species, while Carr is part of another group that believes suspected nano fossils are actually juvenile T. rex remains. Another juvenile T. rex would give scientists something to use for comparison purposes.
Bob Bakker, curator of paleontology at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, said the scarcity of half-grown T. rex fossils has raised questions. Could it be, he asked, that young T. rex staked in the nest until they were almost full grown?
Baby Bob has been fully excavated, although it will take another year to clean Detrich said the skull, which is about 75 percent complete, and most of the major skeletal elements were found strewn across a flood plain.
"If this is a really good genuine baby T. rex, it could tell us whether it was fit to hunt on its own or whether it looks like it was designed to wait for mom and dad to come back," Bakker said

Campus elevators are slower than Resnet in a rainstorm
FACILITIES
I wrote this entire article while waiting on the Fraser elevator. Okay, so maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. You see, I work on the 6th floor of Fraser every day, so I spend a lot of time going up and down this iconic, aging building. If I'm ever in a hurry I take the stairs, which is unfortunate because I'm not exactly athletic. Some people can take six flights of stairs and come out looking handsomely wind-blown, but I come out looking like one of those victims in a horror movie—sweaty, hair a mess, and breathing so loud you can hear me from the first floor. Needless to say, I'm not big on taking the stairs to work.
Of course, this leaves me to wait
on the Fraser elevator. It's not just that the elevator is slow to arrive; it's slow for the entire riding process. I'm so used to it by now that I'm actually surprised by newer elevators when it doesn't take me a full five minutes or more to go a few floors. I'll take an ambassador tour through Templin and realize the elevator came, took us and left within a minute. Sometimes, it feels like the future is upon us. And then I end up back in Fraser.
I think the first time I really noticed how slow the elevators were when I was in one the other day. It's my favorite one because of the drawing scratched into the sidewall that depicts a cave woman hunting. I remember the first

time I saw that picture I wondered if it was the last action of some poor soul who never escaped the elevator.
The elevators of Fraser (and many buildings on campus) are getting old. They are taking longer and they are showing their age. The Fraser elevator has been known to stop suddenly for no reason, or to pause on a floor but
refuse to open the doors for a while, as if it's forgotten how to function. It makes weird noises as it goes up and down, and it shakes when it stops, just enough to make me wonder if everything's working properly. I'll be honest, I've always had a slight fear of getting trapped in an elevator, and the elevators in Fraser don't do anything to reassure me. The best and longest conversations I've had on the elevator always seem to revolve around our group anxiety that we will spend our last moments staring at a cave woman drawing, lost in the shuffle of another day at the University.
I know this sounds like a lot of petty complaints, and in many ways, it is, but it's also something
FOOD FIGHT
I've thought about a lot lately.
Because in-between the obnoxious people who take the elevator for one floor and the people who press all the buttons, there are the people who have no choice but to take the elevator. There are the people who are disabled, or are carrying large objects or rolling packages. I may not need the elevator, but they do. And the more I look at the state of the Fraser elevators, the more I wonder how hard it would be to create a faster, safer system. Maybe it's too hard, or maybe it's too expensive, but one day—hopefully soon—the University is going to have to address this problem.

Kansan debate: FDA proposes ban on trans fats in all food
SUPPORT
For your edification, the FDA recently announced that trans fats have been categorically deemed detrimental to your health, and therefore are no longer sanctioned as an acceptable additive to food. The FDA is currently working on a timetable that will slowly phase out these fats from our food. Verified scientific research suggests that the ban could save 7,000 lives each year from heart failure and prevent 20,000 incidences of heart disease.
By Will Ashley
washley@kansan.com
I welcome this ban for several reasons. Many people disagree with the ban because they don't want the government to be the "nanny state" that tells them what they can and cannot eat. However, these same people aren't very foresighted, either. As it turns out, psychology has shown that without conscious effort, we cannot escape our cognitive bias to be shortsighted about the future. This means that people disregard the negative health effects of trans fats because they occur too
far down the road to be regarded as truly imminent, as most heart disease cases occur later in life. But they can't have their cake and eat it too—literally, I'm sure anyone diagnosed with heart disease wishes they didn't have heart disease, or that they could undo something in their past to have prevented it. To the select few reading this with the incontrovertible belief they will surely not regret anything, even in the face of terminal illness: my hat's off to you, and you can stop reading here. But for the rest of us, fighting out cognitive bias to disregard the far-off could save your life. Additionally, the
WETLANDS
people who say that they want the autonomy to make bad health decisions aren't considering the cost that bad health imposes on the rest of society through health care costs. In fact, this move could save billions of dollars in medical costs each year.
Call it a nanny state, or worse yet, a benevolent tyranny, but regulation is at the heart of any highly advanced society. The FDA is the agency that ensures the pills you take actually contain medicine and not sugar, and ensures harmful substances are kept out of your food. People who froth at the mouth at the mention of government regulation have chosen not to acknowledge these benefits. I won't collude with their willful blindness. This is just one further step in protecting the shortsighted from harm and spreading a little more wisdom.

A challenge to those benefiting from the construction of the SLT
Money has been allocated and construction will begin shortly on the six-mile strip of highway known as the South Lawrence Trafficway. The addition will cut directly through one of the few remaining wetlands in Kansas and places the remains of a culturally-significant area in the shadow of noisy commercial traffic. It is disrespectful and shortsighted, marking a major backset for both the protection of the environment and the respect for other cultures. In other words, it is a victory for development.
By Scott Rainen
srainen@kansan.com
The six-mile strip is culturally significant. It is a land where Native Americans avoided the attempted cultural extermination that occurred at Haskell, which was originally a re-education boarding school funded by the U.S. government. On this land, Native Americans passed on their stories and beliefs and made efforts to maintain their unique languages and customs. Today, it is still used by the Native American community to preserve its culture. Students study native plants used by their ancestors. Achieving a sense of peace at the medicine wheel used
Originally consisting of some 17,800 acres of wetlands, only 670 acres of the Wakarusa Wetlands are left. Still, what remains is ecologically rich, serving as a home to 243 species of birds, 21 species of fish, 22 species of reptiles and 26 species of plants. In addition to the six miles destroyed by construction, massive noise barriers will further segment what remains, blocking the movement of wingless creatures between the remaining wetlands.
for spiritual and intellectual pursuits will be rendered more difficult over the constant racket produced by the flow of commercial traffic. By paving over this six-mile strip, it sends a clear message that our community has no shame for what happened in the past and no respect for what others deem important.
According to KDOT, this instance of development will reduce traffic congestion on 23rd Street. It will provide a faster route between Kansas City and Topeka, connecting K-10 and I-70. It will boost the local economies by "encouraging development" in the Kansas City, Topeka and Douglas County communities. The SLT will consist of eight lanes.
I have heard it stated by many that this form of development is both inevitable and natural, yet I believe the use of the word "development" to define this concept is misleading. For example, the development of a child's personality is both inevitable and natural, but can we really use that same word to describe the destruction of a natural ecosystem in exchange for flat, dead cement? The word creates an illusion of inevitability, when it is merely a societal choice — an indicator of the majority's values.
In truth, an exchange is being made: nature for dollars, dignity for convenience and the damage that will be done cannot be taken back. The wetlands can never be fully reclaimed. The hurt that the Native American community has every right to feel can never be undone. It is a selfish exchange, and it is very disappointing, but what upsets me the most is that it is not surprising.
I feel ashamed to have grown up in a culture that puts money first — that has so little regard for what it is destroying and refuses to spare even six miles of land. I am ashamed that the rampant destruction of our planet is politely referred to as "development" and audaciously deemed natural.
OPPOSE
This is not about condemnation. If I did not believe the community that raised me could do any better, I would not confront it as I am now. I have faith in the goodness of my home. I grew up there, and I've seen it with my own eyes. No, I am not writing to condemn, but rather to challenge. I challenge the community as a whole to fully consider the consequences of what it does in the future. I challenge it to make the right choices—and not the easy ones—to reconsider its priorities. I challenge it as one of its very own sons, so that someday mine can grow up with their dignity intact, proud of their home.
There are too many problems in the world. More than is comfortable to think about. I suppose that as a people, we have our work cut out for us, but it starts at our homes, by making the right choices in the future — six miles at a time.
The Food and Drug Administration stated Partially Hydrogenated Oils (PHO) are no longer "generally recognized as safe," earlier this month. PHOs are the source of trans fats. Trans fats are used for baking and frying and in food products such as margarine, pie crust, microwavable popcorn, frozen pizzas, etc. Scientific research proves trans fat increases low-density lipoprotein levels causing the blockages of atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of heart attack. Thus, the FDA's proposal on banning all trans fats.
While this seems like a public health victory, let's reevaluate the impact of trans fat currently. Back in 2006, the FDA required food to be "trans fat-free" which meant all food must comply with the less than .5 grams of trans fats per serving. Companies that fill grocery shelves have reduced use of trans fat by nearly 3/4 since 2006. During this time, many fast food restaurants like McDonald's, KFC and Taco Bell eliminated trans fat completely from French fries, chicken and nachos. Nabisco replaced the trans fat in the middle of the Oreos with non-hydrogenated vegetable oil. These are just a few examples of how trans fat has already been severely reduced or eliminated. The average American has decreased trans fat consumption from 4.6 grams to one gram daily since the FDA requirement.
The problem with hyping up the elimination of trans fat is that it creates the illusion of healthier food. Though trans fats may be

eliminated, they will be replaced with butter, or with oils that have higher amounts of saturated fat. Saturated fats also contribute to heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
With that said, why target just Partially hydrogenated oils? What next? Saturated fats? Sugar? Salt?
Banning is a miststep. Banning allows the government to control an aspect of civilian diets. And if we can ban trans fat, when do we cross the line? We obviously cannot ban all sugar and processed food. It is important to educate people on the risks of trans fat and the impacts its use. Smoking awareness/anti-smoking campaigns and commercials have helped reduce the number of smokers in a just a few generations. A similar approach could be just as effective in this situation. But people have the right to choose what products they want to consume.

MUSIC REVIEW
M.I.A.'s latest album showcases production
RYAN WRIGHT
rwright@kansan.com
Over the last decade, M.I.A. has proved to be one of the most forward-thinking artists in music. Nearly every one of her releases have been incredible. Her latest effort, "Matangi," has been long delayed, which is rumored to be because her label sent it back because it was "too positive." Now that "Matangi" is finally out, M.I.A. does not disappoint.
The album features production from Hit-Boy, Switch. The Partysquad and others. Every producer does his part, and there is not a single bad beat on this project. Not only should the producers be applauded, but M.I.A. should also be applauded for her great ear for beats.
The first thing that should be mentioned about this album is the production. It is fantastic. "Matangi" is one of the best-produced albums this year. At times, M.I.A.'s lyrics are lackluster, but the production always saves the day. You'll find yourself unconsciously nodding your head while listening.
On "Matangi," you'll hear everything from chopped and screwed samples to dancehall-infused production and it all comes together wonderfully.
As an English-Sri Lankan woman, M.I.A. has a fresh and unique perspective, which is needed in the music industry. She has some explosive verses on "Matangi." For example, "aTENTion" is about refugee's camp tents. On "Boom Skit," she mocks her American critics.
As mentioned earlier, M.I.A.'s lyrics are a bit weak at times. Sometimes she phones it in with lyrics like "I'm so tangy people call me Matangi," which are cringe-worthy. Some of the references she makes sound dated, similar to Eminem's "Marshall Mathers LP 2."
Track 11, "Y.A.L.A." is basically the anti-YOLO song. While the lyrics are pretty good, the phrase "YOLO" hasn't been popularly
PARENTAL EXPLICIT CONTENT

used in at least a year. Although, these dated lyrics are likely due to the fact that the album was delayed for so long, it still takes away from the album as a whole. If "Matani" would have released when it was originally supposed to last year, this wouldn't have been a problem.
At times, the lyrics are pretty weak on "Matangi," but the production more than makes up for it as M.I.A. gives fans an album worth waiting for.

'Best Man' nearly topples Thor' after opening night
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — In an unlikely battle of sequels, "Thor: The Dark World" bested "The Best Man Holiday" at the box office. Disney's "Thor: The Dark World" continued its box-office reign with $38.5 million in its second week of release, according to studio estimates Sunday. Opening 15 years after the original "The Best Man," Universal's "The Best Man Holiday" opened strongly with $30.6 million.
Drawing an overwhelmingly female and African-American audience, "The Best Man Holiday" was a surprise challenger for the mighty "Thor." The R-rated romantic comedy, with an ensemble cast including Morris Chestnut and Taye Diggs, debuted with more than three times the box office of 1999's "The Best Man." That film opened with $9 million. The performance of Malcolm D. Lee's "The Best Man Holiday" continued an ongoing trend. Movies that appeal particularly to
"It's a familiar refrain, and it's getting a little tired," said Lee. "I thought we had a" something special."
"Lee Daniels' The Butler" led the box office for several weeks in August, leading to a cumulative total of $115.5 million domestically. The Oscar-contender "12 Years a Slave" has made $25 million in five weeks of limited release. Lee said that while black audiences "see everything" at the movies, from action movies to romantic comedies, he hopes broader audiences begin responding to so-called "black films." The audience for "Best Man Holiday" was 87 percent African-American. Regardless, a third "Best Man" film now seems a likely bet.
"If there is going to be a sequel, it won't take 14 years," granted Lee. Marvel's Norse superhero, however, has been hammering audiences around the globe. "Thor: The Dark World" made $52.5 million

The Wakarusa Wetlands area is a natural floodplain of the Wakarusa River, meaning it holds a good deal of the river's runoff and serves as a habitat for local animal and plant life.
DEBATED DEVELOPMENT
Construction of the South Lawrence Trafficway in the Wakarusa Wetlands underway
DUNCAN MCHENRY
dmchenry@kansan.com
Atter decades of debate and legal wrangling, the first phase of construction on the South Lawrence Trafficway, a six-mile highway linking K-10 east of Lawrence and U.S. 59/K-10 to the south by passing through the Wakarusa Wetlands, began on Nov. 12.
Kim Qualls of the Kansas Department of Transportation said contractors are still working on a definite schedule for all stages of construction, but crews have begun clearing vegetation from the road's future path. They expect to finish the project — part of KDOT's 10-year, $8 billion transportation program called T-WORKS — by fall of 2016.
To make way for the new section of highway, which has been contested in the Lawrence community for years due to the ecological and historical significance of the wetland area, several South Lawrence streets will also be restructured. Along with joining the two currently disconnected segments of K-10 that eventually intersect with I-70, the SLT project
will also relocate sections of Louisiana Street, 31st Street and Haskell Avenue that run alongside the Wakarusa Wetlands. Qualls said the new six-mile connection will be beneficial for transportation in and around Lawrence, and that it will allow traffic to flow more smoothly on city streets because highway drivers will no longer need to pass through Lawrence on 23rd Street.
"It will also be a second corridor linking K-10 to I-70," she said.
"It will also be a second corridor linking K-10 to I-70," she said.
Qualls added that highway trucking was a factor in the decision, as a new 1,000-acre development called BNSF Intermodal and Logistics Park KC is opening in Gardner-Edgerton. Like other intermodal facilities, its purpose will be loading flatbed cargo onto semitrailers for transportation.
Qualls said the trafficway will open up more shipping connections.
"For moving goods in freight, they're always looking at timelines to get goods transported across the nation, and we as consumers expect to have goods readily available," Qualls said.
The Kansas Turnpike is one route, she said, but K-10 is closer to the BNSF Intermodal development.
Michael Caron, programs
director at Douglas County Jail who did two years of Ph.D. research at Louisiana State University on ethnic communities living in the wetlands of Louisiana, has been outspoken in the trafficway debate since it began. Caron said he objects to its construction for historical and
cultural reasons,
as the area of
land has been
highly valued
by Lawrence's

community since
the days when
the United States
Indian Industrial
Training School
— now Haskell

University — was
founded in 1884.
As one of the U.S. government's American Indian boarding schools, Haskell was a place where young Native Americans were taken from their families and tribes to be educated and converted to European-American cultural standards. Caron said the Wakarusa Wetlands area was a space where students could reconnect with their families in secret.
"If those wetlands had not been there, Haskell students could not have resisted that cultural extermination."
"If those wetlands had not been there, Haskell students could not have resisted that cultural extermination," Caron said. "It provided such an opportunity for an outdoor classroom, for adults to really be able to actively show the kids what a plant was, with
tangible education,
saying, "This is
the kind of plant
you need when
you have this kind
of infection', and
real, immediate
lessons"
M a n y environmentalists have also argued that the SLT will be an unwarranted disruption to the
Wakarusa Wetlands ecosystem, which houses a range of biodiversity in numerous insects, plants and animals — some rarely found elsewhere in Kansas. Chuck Haines, a Ph.D. biology professor at Haskell, said the simple fact that the highway will be a physical barrier within an environment that is a refuge and nursery for migrating creatures is one of the biggest problems.
"I think they've tried to address some ecosystem problems, but the nature of roads are basically to fragment the habitat and the character of animal flow," Haines said. "[It will also] change the way water flows down there. You have to remember they're putting this road smack dab in the floodplain."
Because construction will directly destroy an estimated 57 acres of wetland, KDOT and Baker University have outlined plans to lessen environmental impacts and improve the condition of other wetland habitat nearby. Many of these efforts have already begun or been completed, according to Baker's website, such as the conversion of 140 acres of previously drained cropland to the west of Louisiana Street back to wetlands, the construction of more trails and boardwalks, and a visitor's center. An information sheet published by KDOT also states that "special construction procedures to minimize disturbance of existing soils," will be used, and "All highway runoff will be diverted away from the wetlands."
State Sen. Marci Francisco, a longtime Lawrence resident, said the trafficway discussion was
equally relevant 27 years ago. She recalled a fictitious amphibian
- Agnes T. Frog - running for county commissioner in a 1986 write-in campaign that sought to bring awareness to the road's potential environmental impact. Agnes T. Frog was based on an actual frog that was run over by traffic near the wetlands.
Francisco said environmental researchers and nature lovers alike have made arguments such as these since the very beginning of the SLT timeline. She added that mitigation efforts will be a crucial part of the highway's construction because the Wakarusa Wetlands naturally filter groundwater and are an important part of the local ecosystem.
"I'm very much hoping that the [mitigation] results are positive — we want that to work," Francisco said. "This is certainly a great example that we should be studying to say, 'Is this working? Are we getting the benefits comparable to what we got from the original wetlands?' Construction like this probably will continue, and we want to know what the best practices are."

COMMENTARY
Contrasting perspectives on the South Lawrence Trafficway
KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION A compiled statement by KDOT
The SLT project was ranked as the highest priority project of any T-WORKS project by public officials and transportation stakeholders from across the state. The economic benefits anticipated to be achieved through SLT, based on congestion relief, travel time savings, market access expansion, safety impacts, contingent development, and new population markets, are expected to exceed $3 billion.
Twelve different options were studied (including a "no-build" alternative) for the selected K-10 alignment. The route commonly referred to as the "32nd Street Alignment" was selected based on extensive public involvement, engineering analysis, and a rigorous review of the different alternatives. The 32nd Street Alignment is located about 700 feet south of existing 31st Street through the northern portion of the Baker Wetlands. Existing 31st Street will be realigned to more closely parallel the new freeway, creating a single transportation corridor. Among the alternatives studied was one that would have located the SLT south of the Wakarusa River. This alternative is commonly referred to as the "42nd Street Alignment." It is helpful to compare the environmental impact study findings of that alignment with the selected 32nd Street Alignment to understand the basis for decisions that were made.
NOISE IMPACTS
Based on noise studies conducted during the environmental review process, the 32nd Street Alignment, with noise walls, will result in less noise in the Baker Wetlands than would the 42nd Street Alignment. It was also determined that impacts of vehicle and roadway lighting would be less for the 32nd Street Alignment as compared to the 42nd Street Alignment.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND WETLANDS IMPACTS The 32nd Street Alignment will
By KDOT
HISTORIC PROPERTIES
result in a loss of approximately 57 acres of existing wetlands. However, the mitigation effort will create over 300 acres of wetlands, 16 acres of riparian habitat, and 37 acres of upland prairie restoration. This results in a net gain of over 240 acres of wetlands. The 42nd Street Alignment would have resulted in a loss of only 4.5 acres of existing wetlands, and only 80 acres of wetlands would have been created, resulting in a net benefit of approximately 75.5 acres. Further, the 42nd Street Alignment would have direct impacts to the Wakarusa River as it would have required three bridge crossings of the channel/floodway.
The Haskell Agricultural Farm Property (HAFP) has been the focus of much study over the history of the SLT. It was found that the 32nd Street Alignment actually has net benefits to this property. These net benefits, which would not be obtained from the 42nd Street Alignment, include relocation of 31st Street off of Haskell Indian Nations University (HINU) property and conversion of that area to wetlands (approximately 13 acres), if so desired by HINU. Further, relocation of Haskell Avenue and Louisiana Street as part of the wetland mitigation proposal will create a permanent buffer along the east and west sides of the existing Baker Wetlands and will protect the property from noise, light, urban debris, and visual disturbance.
Possible Burial Sites: In an effort to be sensitive to concerns about possible burial sites in the wetlands, a special, independent investigation was conducted. After examining historical records, conducting interviews, and using ground-penetrating radar to search for gravesites, the special report
COST
In 2007, it was estimated that the construction costs to build the 42nd Street Alignment would be significantly higher than the 32nd Street Alignment due to the construction costs of two crossings over the Wakarusa River and one crossing of the Wakarusa floodway. Further, roadway user and highway maintenance costs would be higher with the 42nd Street Alignment due to its longer length.c
In conclusion, the purpose and need for the project is to provide a safe, efficient, environmentally sound and cost-effective transportation facility for users of K-10 and the surrounding state highway system, and, to the extent possible, to alleviate congestion on Lawrence city streets. Extraordinary effort has been invested to balance many competing and important dynamics. This has been accomplished in consultation with and oversight from multiple state and federal agencies, local partners, and the public. It represents a cumulative judgment that this alternative most effectively and responsibly meets the purpose and need of the project.
rated the likelihood of disturbing human burials in the wetlands along the SLT route as "extremely low." To further investigate the possibility of the presence of human remains, shovel studies were conducted in coordination with the Kansas State Historical Society. These studies also failed to produce any evidence supporting claims of the presence of human remains in the 32nd Street corridor. In an effort to increase transparency on the project, Native American observers have been invited to be present for any excavation activities within the existing Baker Wetlands.
COMMUNITY MEMBERS
The struggle to save the Wakarusa Wetlands: Funeral time, or is there still hope for the future?
Many who were involved in the struggle to save the Wakarusa Wetlands have talked of holding a "funeral." We certainly share their deep sense of loss as KDOT prepares to route the South Lawrence Trafficway across the lowest, wettest segment of the wetlands. Two massive noise barriers and eight lanes of traffic would block every wingless creature from moving between the Baker, KU and Haskell portions of the wetlands. KU's 20 acres becomes a relative biological desert. Wetlands still in Haskell's possession, like reservations where Indians were cut off from traditional hunting and fishing areas, would suffer greatly.
We know the wetlands won't "die." Wildlife survives in wetlands beside major airports and city dumps. Amphibians won't vanish. But the SLT will negatively impact the wetlands, Significant air, water, light and noise pollution are inevitable. Trucks will rumble throughout the night when wetland creatures are most active. The road will segment these wetlands drastically.
But the "funeral" idea addresses more than the damage this road does to our relatives, the wondrous wildlife that inhabits this peaceful refuge. At bottom we mourn because we are losing contact with land that is sacred. These wetlands hold so many stories connecting us to our past. They were our refuge, the place where our grandparents and their parents survived some of the darkest times Indians have faced in modern history. These wetlands were crucial to every native child who resisted cultural extermination at Haskell. They

provided an essential outdoor classroom where elders passed on knowledge of healing plants and important rituals for impending rites of passage.
Many proponents of the SLT scoff at assertions that this place is sacred. They fill anonymous online comments with racist rhetoric whenever we manage to get a letter into the paper or an article mentions our belief that this is hallowed ground. It holds remains of students who attended Haskell, though far more of us do not want this discussed at all than there are Indians who have mentioned that fact. The truth is so much more than "graves." It is the place where sweethearts have said goodbye on the way to every war since the school was founded in 1884. It is where many of us remember and commemorate those who did not return home, either from their confinement at Haskell or from battles overseas.
For many SLT opponents a "funeral" seems appropriate. But we recall the words of Navajo poet Luci Tapahonso, who taught at KU. She wrote "there are memories and stories too powerful for things as new as cement and asphalt to destroy." Imagine if KDOT used some of the $191 million set aside to complete this project to build what are called "toad tunnels" and "bear bridges" across this massive project. The former are passages beneath the road that allow small animals of all species to safety. The latter, widely used in Canada
and Europe, is a passageway above the roadway. Landscaped with rocks and natural vegetation screens, it enables larger critters to cross, especially after dark. Day hikers and bicyclists cross safely, too.
The bids on the SLT came in way below the $191 million set aside to complete the trafficway. If just three tunnels were included, our three institutions, KU, Haskell and Baker University, could see who could design the best systems to funnel diverse wildlife toward their tunnel. This would be friendly competition and cooperation, like the legendary Native American "three sisters" practice of planting squash, maize and beans, each contributing and benefitting from the presence of the others. That is how healing begins.
A "bear" bridge could extend the existing rails to trails south to the Wakarusa, eventually linking our two rivers while allowing Haskell students to continue accessing land they consider an integral part of their history and crucial to future development of tradition-based learning methods in the natural sciences and other areas.
Funerals do help heal, but there is a better alternative. Do the "winners" in this long struggle have the good will to do this? It could make all the difference in how future generations remember this chapter in our history.

Freshman quarterback Montell Cozart stiff-arms a defender during a run. Cozart made his first career start in Saturday's 31-19 victory against West Virginia, throwing for 61 yards and rushing for 60 yards.

Sims' career day helps Jayhawks end 27-game conference losing streak

OFFENSE: B+
Montell Cozart made a few plays on his feet to start off the game including a 12-yard rush to convert a 3rd-and-6 on the opening drive, resulting in a field goal. But from that moment on, the offense started to really click as James Sims gashed West Virginia's defense for a career-high 219 yards. Sims had two 60-plus yard runs, including a 68-yard touchdown run at the end of the first half as the Jayhawks offensive line put its foot down and paved the way for Sims. While Cozart finished with just 61 yards through the air, he compiled 60 yards on the ground. Cozart didn't do anything gaudy, but he put his head down, limited his mistakes and extended a good portion of plays.
DEFENSE: B+
After a shaky first drive on defense allowed the Mountaineers to go 75 yards in six plays in under three minutes, the defense turned up the intensity. Kansas forced two turnovers, thanks to Ben Goodman and Ben Heeney's interceptions. Both of them were returned into West Virginia's territory and resulted in touchdowns. The defensive numbers tend to be a little skewed due to the 24-point lead Kansas had late in the game. West Virginia put up 12 points in essentially garbage time.
COACHING: A
Charlie Weis' gameplan played to its tune as Kansas tried to spread West Virginia out with its receivers; taking as many defenders possible out of the box, leaving Sims room to split the defense up the middle. It worked beautifully and West Virginia couldn't stop it as Kansas took advantage.
SPECIAL TEAMS:B
Ron Doherty booted a 25-yarder on the opening drive for Kansas and Trevor Pardula was nails again, including two punts inside the 20 with a long of 54. Kansas didn't make any mistakes here and was just about average but that's all the Jayhawks needed from this unit.
GLASS HALF FULL
Montell Cozart is 1-0 as a starter. He quarterbacked the game from start to finish, led the team to a win, ended a nasty losing streak and helped the team score more than 30 points. The result can be placed largely on the back of James Sims' three touchdown performance, but Cozart was in and he gets the win. Cozart is the future for the Jayhawks.
GLASS HALF EMPTY
Kansas' offensive scheme isn't extremely hard to figure out. The weakness in the offense is clear: make Cozart throw. If this weakness is exploited in the next two games, the Jayhawks may not get a nice result. But if Cozart is able to control his accuracy, Kansas might be able to pull off a couple of upsets and finish the season 5-7.

Charlie Weis acknowledged after the game that the way Kansas closed the first half was crucial to continuing to build on the team's success for the second half. James Sims had ripped off a 68-yard rush touchdown leaving about one minute left in the half for West Virginia. WVU was able to get the ball into field goal range and set up a last second kick, only to be blocked by Kansas. A group of excited and inspired Jayhawks all ran jumping up and down into the locker room with an energy that hasn't been matched this season. The energy continued in the second half, and Kansas won.
VERDICT: GOOD
STAT OF THE DAY
FINAL THOUGHT
219 yards gained by James Sims on Saturday. It was a career day for Sims, and with his career clock at Kansas ticking down, it was an unforgettable performance.
James Sims lead the Kansas offense by rushing for a career-high 219 yards while scoring three touchdowns. He's inching closer and closer to the Kansas all-time career rushing record.
GAMEBALL
Although Kansas may not be bowl eligible, there is still a lot left to prove. This most recent win isn't enough to show that the Kansas football program has made any significant progress from last year. Kansas needs to take a step forward and pull off either a road win against Iowa State or another home win against rival Kansas State. Looking back on two or three conference wins a year from now will be a lot better for fan base confidence compared to looking back on only one.
GOOD, BAD OR PLAIN STUPID
DELAY OF GAME
Kansas got the win and actually looks like it can be a formidable opponent in the final closing games against Iowa State and Kansas State. Kansas stands a better chance of taking down Iowa State and ending the 24 road game losing streak next Saturday, and if Kansas can play the way it did Saturday, they have at least have a chance to end a four game losing streak with Kansas State to close the season.
Although the Kansas offense was able to break an eight-game skid of not scoring more than 20 points, it did so majorly without the help of Tony Pierson. Pierson hadn't posed much of a threat to West Virginia in his early involvement, on but a handoff in the second half Pierson was sandwiched in between two West Virginia defenders. Pierson left the game, and Weis confirmed that Pierson's concussion symptoms may have returned. After the play Pierson told Weis, "Coach, my head hurts." Ever since Pierson was injured on Oct. 5 against Texas Tech he hasn't been the same, and he sure wasn't the same Saturday. Pierson is perhaps Kansas' most important offensive player moving forward.

Football Notebook
Freshman quarterback Cozart takes control of Kansas offense
CHRIS HYBL
chybl@kansan.com
Montell Cozart made the first start of his career on Saturday, and Kansas got its first Big 12 conference win in 27 straight tries.
The keys are Cozart's. It doesn't matter that Cozart was facing a losing team or that he was only 5-12 passing. Cozart went start to finish and was on the team that came out on top.
Cozart's subpar numbers might not matter. It may just be his presence. Having Cozart in adds another running threat in addition to being able to throw the ball. He may not throw the ball well, but he can hit open receivers, and those situations are presented while Cozart and a rotating backfield
of James Sims, Tony Pierson, and Brandon Bourbon can keep a defense guessing. On Saturday, it worked.
Cozart helped put together a string of 24 unanswered points that put the game firmly in the hands of Kansas. Cozart's effect on Saturday isn't too far off a Tebow statline. It wasn't pretty, but he quarterbacked the game, and the game was won.
JaCorev Shepherd
At one point in his college career, JaCorey Shepherd was a wide receiver. But now, Shepherd is the Kansas defense's second best weapon. On two lengthy third downs Saturday, balls were thrown to Shepherd's man, and in both situations, Shepherd closed on the
opposing receiver to break up the play.
In his second season on the defensive side of the ball, Shepherd has managed to make it pretty well known that quarterbacks should avoid throwing the ball his way. On Saturday, that was the case. Balls thrown his way were wasted throws. The only mistake that Shepherd could recall after the game was not turning some of the pass break ups into interceptions.
two steps back, and nearly picked the ball off. The closing speed on the play was exceptional, and words can't do it justice.
Shepherd has a knack for the ball. On a third and long in the first half, West Virginia quarterback Trey Millard had a man over the middle. The man was Shepherd's to cover and with the ball on the way, Shepherd was two steps behind. But Shepherd decided to jump under the route, gained the
Shepherd, even though he won't admit it, has almost completely grown into his role, and it's a job well done.
The Future
Kansas snapped a nasty 27-game conference losing streak over the weekend. For Kansas, it's now time to snap it's next nastiest streak: a 24 straight road game losing streak. But that's about all that's left for Kansas to accomplish this year. With little left to play, it leaves fans thinking about the future. In particular, it leaves fans thinking about the quarterback situation.
In Saturday's game notes pub
lished by the Kansas Athletics, the department made a note that transfer quarterback TJ Millweard (from UCLA) and wide receiver Nick Harwell (from University of Miami Ohio) are ahead of "one of the best scout team offenses in the nation." That's a straight quote. They also made a note to compare the duo to Jake Heaps and Justin McCay. That worked out well. It's puzzling why this is even relatively noteworthy after what has happened to Heaps and McCay, both being stripped of their starting positions this season – especially when it looks like Heaps may not see a down for the rest of the season.
It's somewhat embarrassing, but it sets the table from a three way quarterback controversy. The former No.1 high school quarterback, Jake Heaps, wants the chance to save an extremely tarnished career. Montell Cozart will be trying to defend a starting spot, regardless of how the season finishes. Millweard will be in the mix as well, but there should be no hype given to Millweard considering how bad Kansas' last two transfer quarterbacks, Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps, have turned out. It's anyone's guess as to how the future looks at the Kansas quarterback position; it's almost the most entertaining thing to think about regarding Kansas football.

Sims focused on wins as he approaches team rushing record
CONNOR OBERKROM
coberkrom@kansan.com
James Sims walked off the field with a grin on his face as jayhawk fans greeted him. The senior running back started the celebration, high fives and all.
Sims, who remember what it was like in Kansas' last Big 12 victory against Colorado in 2010, is glad the pain and the losing are finally in the past and now can look ahead instead of looking back. Sims lead the Jayhawks to a 31-19 win over the West Virginia Mountaineers with his strong
rushing attack.
"It feels great, just knowing we were on the same page and we were all clicking together, it's a great feeling to have," Sims said.
"If the record comes, it comes. If it doesn't, wins are more better."
a considerable hole aided by the offensive line. He took off and it was six points once he got to the second level, finishing a 68-yard touchdown run. It pushed the lead to 17-7 and set a positive tone for the team heading into halftime.
Sims rushed for a career high 211 yards, which came at an opportunity time for Kansas to snap its daunting 27-game losing streak against Big 12 competition.
"I looked up at the Jumbotron, I didn't see no one behind me," Sims said.
Sims carried the ball for the first four plays, accumulating two first downs and got the game plan going for Kansas as it tried to spread it out with its receivers, leaving room for Sims to work his magic.
"Our object was to spread them out, that what's the other teams did. Our game plan was to spread them out and if they have five in the box, just hand the bail off," Sims said.
While Sims had always worried about the program as a whole
JAMES SIMS Senior running back
Saturday's performance was Kansas' best rushing attack since Tony Pierson rushed for more than 200 yards against Texas Tech
Sims biggest run of the day came late in the first half when Kansas was leading 10-7. Sims gashed the defense up the middle thanks to
more than the individual numbers, it was a personal goal for him this season to leave Kansas as the number one running back. Sims is currently at 3,396 all-time rushing yards, which is third all-time and just 445 yards
"If the record comes, it comes. If it doesn't, wins are more better," Sims said. "The program was starting to turn a little bit, but we just have to take what we did today and bring it to practice and go to Ames and get a win."
behind June Henley, the all-time rushing leader at Kansas. He thinks he can reach Henley,but he's more driven to see what the team accomplishes in these last two games.
The Jayhawks will face Iowa State next week in Ames, Iowa. Iowa State is currently in last place of the Big 12 with an 0-7 record in the conference.

The Jayhawks huddle during the Sunflower Showdown on Saturday night against the Kansas State Wildcats. The Jayhawks won their fourth consecutive match against Kansas State for the first time since 1989-1993.
Jarmoc, Kansas win fourth straight Sunflower Showdown
BLAIR SHEADE
bsheade@kansan.com
The last time Kansas beat its in-state rival Kansas State in four consecutive matches was from 1989-1993.
History repeated itself on Saturday night, when the No. 23 Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 3-1; 19-25, 26-24, 25-14, 25-18 at the sold-out Horesei Family Athletics Center in the final installment of volleyball's 2013 Sunflower Showdown.
After the Jayhawks dropped the first set, where Kansas hit. 111 as a team, redshirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc was dominating in the second set.
"Jarmoc made some big swings," head coach Ray Bechard said.
The 2012 All-American had five kills on 10 attempts with zero errors, and she had the only block for the Jayhawks in the second set. Jarmoc's last kill of the set was the game winner, where there were 22 ties and five different lead changes. Jarmoc's success was due to senior setter Erin McNorton getting everyone involved in the offense, she said.
"Erin (McNorton) distributed the ball very well," Jarmoc said. "I was definitely scoring in that second set by Erin feeding me and me swinging away."
Jarmoc had a tough task going against Kansas State junior middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger, who broke the top 10 in blocks and second in points among the Big 12 Conference.
"We talked about finding [No.] 17 (Pelger) a little better," Bechard said. "She had it going, so we paid a little bit more attention to her."
The last two sets, Pelger only had two kills.
"We contained No. 17." Bechard said. "She had more errors than kills in the third and fourth set and that is huge."
Going into Saturday's game, Kansas State led the Big 12 Conference by averaging 2.84 blocks per set and the lavahawks were third.
The roles changed on Saturday, when Kansas doubled the Wildcats team blocks. Kansas ended the match with 13 team blocks opposed to Kansas State's six队 blocks.
"Blocking is the skill that goes unnoticed sometimes and takes the most work," Jarmoc said. "I'm always happy when we out-block a team."
Jayhawk freshman middle blocker Tayler Soucie started the day off slow with just one kill and three errors, but ended strong.
"She had a little momentum going into the break and we said 'let's see how she starts in the third set,' Bechard said. "I'm a big believer in Soucie, she has a short memory for a freshman and she made some key plays as it went."
Soucie progressively gained confidence as the match went on. Soucie had one solo block and one block
assist in the first two sets, but ended the match with two solo blocks and a team high seven block assists.
"I wasn't thinking about my mistakes," Soucie said. "I knew I needed to go out and do what I needed to do."
There was talk about playing redshirt freshman Janae Hall, but coach Beachard thought Soucie gave the Jayhawks the best chance to win.
The success of redshirt senior outside hitter Catherine Carmichael stayed on track on Saturday. Carmichael had the team high six kills with zero errors in the second set.
"I'm very proud of kids like Cathy Carmichael, this was an important match for her," Beachard said. "A kid who no one gave a chance and she was out there playing at the highest level. She looked like the best player on the court at times."
Saturday was the last time this group of seniors will play Kansas State, but they are not worried about it.
we get to play K-State and it's always a big rivalry, but knowing that we get to come in and win four times since I've been here; it's a great feeling" Carmichael said.
"I don't get sad about it," larmoc said. "Everything has to end, but I'm really happy we ended on a good note with a win."
CROSS COUNTRY
Carmichael finished the game with 14 kills and a team high .414 hitting percentage.

Kansas posts top finishes in men's and women's at regionals
DANIEL HARMSEN
dharmsen@kansan.com
The teams competed at the Iowa State Cross Country Course on Friday, with the men running the 10k and the women running the 6k. Both teams exceeded expectations and brought home fifth place.
Although only junior Reid Buchanan will continue his season into the NCAA Championships as an individual qualifier, the Jayhawks will carry a lot of momentum into the indoor track season and the next cross country season. With his 12th place finish, Buchanan, who will return next season for his senior sendoff, became the first Jayhawk to compete in the NCAA Championships since 2010.
On Friday afternoon, the Kansas Men's and Women's Cross Country teams accomplished something that hasn't been done by a Kansas team in 10 years: both teams posted top-five finishes at the NCAA Midwest Regional.
The squads were idle for the last two weeks after finishing sixth and seventh at the Big 12 Championships in Waco, Texas, and used the time off to come back strong at the Midwest Regionals in Ames, Iowa.
The men looked to make their first trip to the NCAA Championships since 2006, but came up short. Even though their season ended a

little earlier than they had hoped, coach Michael Whittlesey was very pleased with his team's race.
Whittlesey found Buchanan's race particularly commendable.
"Reid [Buchanan] lost his shoe early in the race and had to run the last 5-plus miles without his shoe. He wouldn't be denied."
"Shoeless" Buchan talked about equipment malfunction.
"About 1k in I had a flat tire and tried to stop and get it back on," Buchanan said. "But I couldn't get it back on, so I just ran without it."
Experiencing equipment difficulties in a race as crucial as this one after a season's worth of preparation would be discouraging, but Buchanan credits his teammates for pulling him, shoeless and all, to the finish line.
When asked about his automatic
"Catching back up with our guys: Evan (Landes), Josh (Munsch) and James (Wilson), made me comfortable. They gave me enough confidence to get through. I know I couldn't have done as well without them."
qualification for the NCAA Championships, Buchan summed up his emotions in one word.
the work pad on
Led by sophomore Hannah Richardson, the Jayhawks concluded the 2013 season with a bang.
"Thrilled," he said. "That was the goal since June, so I am glad that all the work paid off"
"I'm tremendously proud of what you've done this year," Whittlesey said of his young, but improving team. "We were unranked in the region at the beginning of the season, and to see them finish fifth here is a great accomplishment."
Fellow Big 12 members Oklahoma State and Texas were the only representatives from the conference on the men's side, and Iowa State and West Virginia were the two representatives on the women's side.
Reid Buchanan qualified as an individual for Kansas out of the Midwest Region, and Hannah Richardson just missed qualifying by one finish spot and 7 seconds.
In all, 31 teams earned berths to the NCAA Championships, and 13 at-large teams were added on Saturday. Although the Jayhawks missed the cut, next year looks like a great opportunity to accomplish that goal with so much talented experience returning.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Which team was the last wire-to-wire number one to win the national championship?
Ogden
A: Southern California in 2004
THE MORNING BREW
Predicting which teams will play the BCS title game
Next season, college football will adapt to the four-team playoff setting. Therefore, the public wouldn't have to watch two of the top-four teams this year play in meaningless games. This season, Alabama, Florida State, Baylor and Ohio State are unbeaten and the tops of their conferences, which means that predicament could occur.
The University of Alabama Crimson Tide (10-0) have won the last three out of four national championships and are the current No.1 team in the country, but have a tough road ahead. The Tide play Chattanooga on Nov. 23, and they have to travel to top-10 Auburn to play in Jordan-Hare Stadium, where the Tigers are undefeated.
The Alabama-Auburn game, also called the Iron Bowel, on Nov. 30 will decide who represents the West Division in the Southeastern Conference championship game in the Georgia Dome on Dec. 7.
Hypothetically speaking, if Alabama loses to Auburn, that would open the doors for Florida State, Baylor or Ohio State to become the number one team in the BCS rankings.
By Blair Sheade
bsheade@kansan.com
Florida State (10-10), led by Heisman hopeful Jameis Winston, would be the
leading contender to replace Alabama as the number one team in the BCS championship game. The Seminoles are second in the BCS rankings and have beaten two top-10 teams this season.
Florida State still must win at Gainesville, Fla., on Nov. 30, where the Florida Gators will try to knock off the Seminoles, and they must win the ACC championship game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., on Dec. 7.
Hypothetically speaking, if Florida State loses to the Gators and Alabama wins out, then a huge debate would take place about who should play the Crimson Tide in the BCS championship game. The options would be Baylor or Ohio State.
The Ohio State Buckeyes (10-0), led by Heisman candidate Braxton Miller, would have first dibs to play in the BCS championship game, if Alabama or Florida State were to lose.
The Buckeyes are currently third in the BCS standings and first in the Big Ten Leaders Division. Ohio State has the easiest
road to stay perfect this season, and have an advantage over Baylar to play in the BCS champion game. The Buckeyes have the edge because they will play in a Big Ten championship game, if Ohio State can go on the road to the "Big House" in Ann Arbor, Mich. and beat Michigan on Nov. 30.
If Ohio State beats Michigan, the Buckeyes will have a chance do something they were unable to accomplish last season - win
the big Ten Title at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Dec. 7, where Ohio State would face the Michigan State Spartans.
THE BREW
Last season, the Ohio State Buckeyes were banned from postseason play due to NCAA violations.
Ohio State could go further than the Big Ten championship game and advance to the BCS championship game if Alabama or Florida were to lose.
The University of Baylor Bears (9-0) average 61 points a game and are currently fifth in the BCS rankings, but will move up into the top-four due to fourth ranked Stanford losing to the USC Trojans on Saturday. The
Bears are first in the Big 12 Conference,but have a stiff remaining schedule.
two home games against the
The Bears have three games left and two of the three are top-25 teams. Baylor goes to Stillwater, Okla., on Nov. 23 to take on the No.11 Oklahoma State Cowboys, who haven't lost at Boone Pickens Stadium this season. The Bears play their last two home games against the
underrated TCU Horned Frogs on Nov. 30 and the top-25 ranked Texas Longhorns on Dec. 7.
Baylor must win the remainder of its games to be considered for the BCS championship game.
There are three weeks left in college football until all these hypothetical situations are played out. At this moment, the BCS championship game would be Alabama versus Florida State, but anything is possible in college football.

Second-half run propels Jayhawks to win against Creighton
LEVAN DUNBAR
It was a game of runs Sunday afternoon between the Kansas Jayhawks (3-0) and the Creighton Blue Jays (2-2) in Allen Fieldhouse.
Just when it seemed the Jayhawks were pulling away from the Blue Jays, Creighton would make a run to answer, keeping the game within striking distance.
"I felt like we gave ourselves a chance," Creighton coach Jim Flanery said. "But Kansas played really well and deserved to win." The fayhawks used a 16-2 run
keyed by Lamaria Cole to take a 52-
35 lead with 14:43 left in the second
half. Kansas was able to hold off a
tough Creighton that used a 26-16 run to pull within seven
points with 2:15 left, and win the
game 74-66.
Creighton came out firing in the first half, taking an early 10-5 lead. But the jayhawks answered with a 20-4 run to lead 25-14 with 8:28 left.
"When [Kansas] went on their run today, we knew that we needed to stop them otherwise we're going to get shut out of this [game]."
Creighton guard Marissa Janning said. "We limited their runs for the most part, but we didn't make our own runs."
Creighton then used a 19-11 run to pull within three points at half time, but the Blue Jays would get no closer than that.
"They went on that run, and I thought we weathered that storm," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. Cole was sharp in the second half, and was instrumental in transition for the Jayhawks, scoring six early points. Cole repeatedly got to the basket with dribble penetration,
showing off her quickness.
"I told [Lamaria] to 'go get yours in transition,' and she did a good job doing that," Henrickson said. Cole finished the game with 14 points on 6-11 shooting. She also had four rebounds and three assists. "[Lamaria] gets down the court fast and just blows past everybody, giving us energy as a team," junior forward Chelsea Gardner said. Gardner said Cole knows that she needs to fill the role of former Jayhawk standout Angel Goodrich at the point guard position, and is developing her game.
"She has more energy this year," Gardner said. "She's [taking] a big step in her career right now."
Cole said she still needs to work on different things involving her game, like ball handling and using her speed effectively, but is excited about running the point this season for the Jayhawks and trying to fill the role of Goodrich.
"I talk to [Angel] all the time," Cole said. "She's a positive role model who gives me good feedback and tells me things that I need to work on."
Henrickson said she was proud
of the team for the victory against Creighton, saying that at the end of the year, it will look good for Kansas' NCAA tournament resume.
"Our wins over Creigton over the last couple of years have been big for us, because all they've done is win and win and win," Henrickson said.

COMMENTARY Win reignites the Jayhawk spirit
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
Garrett pretz comes to Potter Lake twice a week to relax. On Saturday he came looking for a goal post.
for it. He wouldn't find them. They had submerged below the surface, but the remnants left behind of Kansas' 31-19 win over West Virginia will stay. The memory of breaking a 27-game conference losing streak is not going anywhere.
It will stay with the students, particularly the upperclassmen who haven't celebrated a conference win in three years. It will stay with alumni who have spent oodles of money supporting a struggling program. Mostly, it will stay with the players who have been injured, bruised, put down, teased and more.
The players haven't asked for this — to be a laughing stock of a program. They asked for a chance to make their dreams of playing big time college football come true.
There have been coaching changes, suspensions and even "piles of crap." But for once, on one fall Saturday, these players, our classmates, were surrounded by a group of ecstatic students, cheering them on.
Their job is mostly thankless. The play a gruesome sport. They get beat up. And they had lost 27 consecutive conference games.
There was the Texas game last season, where Case McCoy's late touchdown pass led the Longhorns to an unlikely come from behind victory. Or the Baylor game two seasons ago, where Robert Griffin III and the Bears had a 21-point fourth quarter comeback to win.
Finally, the Kansas football team was the highlight. Embarrassment, even if it was brief, had been lifted.
It's not easy to be on the wrong end of highlights for 27 conference games over the last three years.
Sure, this is nothing more than a 3-7 football team beating a 4-7 football team at home.
But after all of the losses, even small accomplishments like single-digit halftime deficits were celebrated. This time, they celebrated a win. The final score with the lavihawks ahead.
Minutes after the clock hit zero, Massachusetts Street seemed the same. Business went on. Pedestrians calmly walked to their destinations. Drive a few minutes to the south, and the story is different.
University students who are known to tailgate before the game and sleep during it were alive. The student ghetto was filled with ongoing parties. The Wheel overflowed like their pitchers. And the Hawk was, well, the Hawk, with students hollering from the front porch.
And then there's that goal post that hadn't been touched in years. A symbol of Kansas tradition brought back from the dead. 27 games, no more.
Weis was drenched in water. Students surrounded him and then climbed those goal post. They tore it down, and marched it out of the stadium toward Potter Lake. Some swam, most didn't. Nobody cared, their football team had won.
That's what led Garrett Pretz to Potter Lake a few hours after the garne. The chaos had ceased, and he just wanted to see the symbol of victory. He had been going to games since he was four years old. Pretz, a freshman from Andover, Kan., found his family after rushing the field. He didn't get to toss the goal post into Potter Lake. He didn't get to see them hours after. It didn't matter.
All that did matter was that the goal post was there. Anchored to the bottom of the lake by a 27-game losing streak.

Cheers of joy erupted from Memorial Stadium on Saturday after a 31-19 victory against West Virginia.
At Potter Lake, pieces of the south goal post protruded from the water as students and fans celebrated the end of a 27-game Big 12 losing streak.
Moments earlier, Charlie Weis had been right in the middle of a crowd at midfield, soaking wet from an ice-water bath, while singing the alma mater with students and players.
"You know, I got kids sticking phones in my face and everything like that, but it was worth it because it's been awhile since the student body got a chance to enjoy it too, and I'm happy for them as well." Weis said.
It was the Big 12 win for Weis at Kansas. If the losing streak had continued through the end of the season, it would have reached a Big 12 record of 30 games.
But Weis said his enjoyment comes from seeing the happiness of his players.
"Let's start with the kids that have been here for five years and gone through multiple coaches. Those are the guys I feel the best for. I also feel good for all of our students and fans who have endured those years." Weis said.
Defensive lineman Kevin Young is one of those seniors who has been in the program for five years. Saturday was the third conference win of Young's time at Kansas, and second he has played in.
"I guess the best way you can put it is like when you're a little kid on Christmas morning." Young said.
The Kansas coaches had the receivers spread farther out across the field, opening up more of the middle for running lanes.
The Jayhawks won the game by playing to their strengths. After allowing a West Virginia touchdown on the first drive of the game, the Kansas defense held the Mountaineers scoreless on 12 straight possessions.
On offense, the Jayhawks were carried by senior running back James Sims.
Sims rushed for a career best 219 yards, as well as three touchdowns on 22 carries.
"Our object was to spread them out... if they had five in the box, just hand the ball off," Sims said. "We took advantage of the five man box and we gashed them with it."
Sims had a 62-yard run to set up a touchdown in the second quarter, and then improved upon that with a 68-yard run for a touchdown. Sims knew the whole way he was free to run for the score.
"I looked up at the lumbotron and saw no one behind me," Sims said with a smile.
That play came with 39 seconds left in the second quarter and made it a 17-7 game before halftime.
Weis said he had a sense that a hole could open up with that play. "There was one play that we had from an unbalanced formation, that I thought could get us a chunk, and then if we got a chunk we could call a timeout and try to go to the end zone," Weis said. "And the chunk was a lot bigger than I was expecting."
Most of the coaching decisions made by Weis and his staff worked in the team's favor. The running lanes were opened up when the
offense spread the field.
The screen passes that West Virginia used to drive down the field in the first quarter were shut down later in the game as the secondary played closer to the line of scrimmage and caved in on those short passes.
"Once they took those plays away, against the wind, that pretty well shut them down," Weis said.
The other coaching move that worked out for the Jayhawks was starting freshman quarterback Montell Cozart for the first time this season. Cozart displayed poise and composure on the field.
Though he was just five-for-12 with 61 passing yards, Cozart also ran for 59 yards.
Despite his team's 2-7 record going into Saturday's game, and the fact that they had already lost any chance of going to a bowl game. Weis said he thought the game against West Virginia was important for the team's morale.
"It was a big concern for me that if we lost this game today, it would be a large struggle going through the rest of the season," Weis said. "We needed some momentum and we got that today."
The Jayhawks will play at Iowa State with a road losing streak to break, but all that matters for now is the streak that Kansas halted on Saturday and the hope that it provides for the final two games of the season.
Less than an hour after the game was over, players were already talking about how the win would give the team a boost as they go into practice this week.
Weis gave the players permission to go out and celebrate the win on Saturday night, as long as they were careful to stay out of trouble. But as for Weis himself, he said his job as a coach to remain cynical and look at what the Jayhawks could continue to improve upon.
But the head coach took a moment as he congratulated players leaving the field to glance at the students and fans as they began the successful effort to tear down the goal post.

Kansas (3-0) held on for a 74-66 victory against Creighton (2-2) after shooting well from the field, especially early. The Jayhawks ended up shooting 61 percent from the field, including 75 percent in the first half against the Bluejays from the Big East.
The Bluejays jumped to an early 10-5 lead, but junior Chelsea Gardner took over and helped the Jayhawks take the lead for good in the middle of the first half. Gardner, who ended up with team-highs of 24 points and eight rebounds, was 5-5 from the field with nine minutes left to play in the first half.

plays and getting down the court and knocking down jump shots."
This time, junior Asia Boyd and sophomore Lamaria Cole led the charge. Boyd had 19 points off 6-8 shooting and Cole had 14, including a couple of speedy, acrobatic lavups.
On one play, Cole sped down the court and found a streaking Boyd who beat the defender and made a lawup.
"We played fast, and Asia tried to run with [Lamaria] and got ahead," Kansas coach Bonnie Hendrickson said. "It's great that [Lamaria is] that fast, but it's beautiful when we get some people to try and run with her."
Creighton had a strong advantage on the offensive glass. They collected 12 offensive rebounds which gave them plenty of extra opportunities to score.
"We fought back," Creighton sophomore机关 Marissa Janning said. "We limited their runs for the most part, but we didn't make our own runs."
Janning finished the game with a team-high 22 points, most of which came early. Janning was the only starter for the Bluejays who wasn't a senior, and she leads the team in scoring through the first four games of their season.
"I like their team maybe more than I thought," Creighton coach Jim Flanier said. "You look at losing Goodrich, Davis and Engelman, but you take a kid like Boyd who was a really good high school player and sat on the bench, and Cole [is] the same thing, those kids will get better as the year goes on."
Creighton made a run late, through plenty of fouls and free throws, cutting the lead down to single digits with less than five minutes to play. But the Bluejays ran out of time, and the Jayhawks made timely baskers. With two minutes to play Gardner made a

Watkins Student Health Center will open gender-neutral bathrooms for Transgender Awareness Month
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
Every time Grace Long goes into the women's restroom, they hesitate. As a student, they wonder who will be on the other side of the door and how they will react to their short, brown hair, their men's clothes and their masculine appearance.
Sometimes women stare.
Sometimes they look confused and surprised. And as if that wasn't uncomfortable enough, sometimes women speak up.
"You're in the wrong bathroom." As if Long couldn't come to the conclusion on their own if that was indeed the case.
Long identifies as gender-queer, meaning they don't identify as male or female, and prefers to be referred to with the pronouns "they" and "them" rather than "he" or "she".
Gender-queer people choose not to identify themselves as a particular gender because they believe gender roles are socially constructed binaries that don't include everyone.

sign next to the door, as well as a "stop" or "go" sign to let students know whether the bathroom is currently occupied.
Detmer said it's important to remember that even within the LGBTQ community, transgender people have different issues to work through, including the transition process.
The event's goal is to educate students and show that the University supports the health and safety of transgender and gender-queer students.
"We group the LGBTQ together and we say that we're all one population, one community," Detmer said. "But we often forget that each one of those letters stands for a different person and a different gender or sexuality."
Though the bathrooms will only be gender-neutral for one week, Detmer wants students to know that there are permanent gender-neutral bathrooms on campus and that there's a task force that continues to look for single-use, lockable restrooms on campus that can be converted into gender-neutral bathrooms.
Ashley Mog, who teaches Introduction to Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, discusses gender-neutral bathrooms and the anxiety transgender and gender-queer people face when using public bathrooms with her classes.
She said she thinks if people thought about how transgender and gender-queer people felt when doing something as basic and necessary as going to the bathroom, there might be more support for gender-neutral bathrooms.
Mog tells students in her class, "If
you see someone in the bathroom, that's probably the bathroom they are supposed to be in, so you should just leave them be."
Grace Long said they wish that people would understand that "that's just one place where you don't want people to look at you

FDA bans trans fats already rare at KU
YU-KYUNG LEE
yklee@kansan.com
At KU residential dining halls, trans fats won't be missed.
While the federal Food and Drug Administration announced plans to ban trans fats entirely earlier this month, dining halls have already ditched trans fats for the most part. In fact, at the residential dining halls, the only item on today's lunch menu containing trans fats is the snickerdoodle cookies.
Since 2006, the FDA has required trans fats to be listed on nutrition labels. This led to voluntary changes in the food industry, including some by KU Dining Services.
"We recognized the evidence-based research and reformulated many of our recipes to reduce the amount of trans fat," said Mary Rondon, registered dietician from KU Dining Services. "For examples we made a conscious effort to switch over to trans-free fats in our recipes and fryers. We have been using 100 percent canola oil in our recipes and fryers for years."
Soon, KU may have a totally trans fat-free menu. Trans fat from partially hydrogenated oils is considered nonessential for any body function and the government recommends totally avoiding trans fats.
"It's kind of a double whammy of negative effects," said Kelsey Fortin, health educator at Student Health Services. "It simultaneously increases bad cholesterol while decreasing the amount of good cholesterol in our body."
At the University, reducing trans fats is just part of the University's effort to promote better eating habits among students.
For now, the FDA still has almost two months before deciding whether to ban trans fats. The organization opened a 60-day public comment period on Nov. 8 to gather information on whether the ban should be implemented and how trans fats could be phased out of foods.
The Better Bites program and commitment to sustainability and organic foods offer students more lower-calorie and freshly prepared food options. Through the Net Nutrition program online, KU Dining Services provides detailed nutritional information for campus dining.
Starting this year, Student Health Services is also offering Eat Well Live Well, a nutritional program designed to help students make healthy eating choices. Through one-on-one sessions with Fortin, students can learn the federal guidelines on nutrition.
Index
These trans fats are found in fast foods, processed snacks, fried foods, nondairy creamer, shortening and commercially prepared baked goods.
The FDA is targeting only trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils, which are added to foods to increase shelf life. This process makes liquid vegetable oil become solid fat.
The top risk associated with bad cholesterol is heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the U.S.

Unity creates bonds to improve performance
KATIE MCBRIDE
kmcbride@kansan.com
At a typical practice for the Unity Hip-Hop dance group, in between sessions of teaching choreography and repeating sections of the dance to nail every move, the group of girls laugh, joke, talk and create bonds that translate into the strength of their performances.
Mackenzie Justis, a junior from Shawnee and president of Unity, said the members all have their own styles in a dance, but, to make the performance look cohesive and clean, they work to become closer not just as dancers, but as friends.
In order to become closer, Unity creates a fun atmosphere during practices, and makes everyone feel comfortable and open with each other, like a family, Justis said.
"You have to know each other," Justis said. "You can't just be a random group of people and look good together."
They also take time outside of practices and performances to spend time together.
"You get so many fun, quirky personalities together, and we have a blast," Metzler said.
justis said she found the small moments to be the most significant, like a conversation, a drive home or one night when it was raining and a group of Unity girls came over to her apartment and watched a movie after opening the windows and lighting candles.
In order to create cohesive dances, Unity works on becoming close as a group of friends, not just dancers. Unity performs at multiple venues, including the Jazzhaus on Nov. 21.
Other times, things like girls' nights, a trip to the pumpkin patch and nights out bring the group closer.
At the start of a new dance, the group figures out who is willing and has the time to create the choreography. Most people don't realize how much thought goes into even a small piece of the dance, said Sara Nguyen, a junior from Garden City and vice president of Unity.
"It takes me hours to choreograph thirty seconds," Justis added. "I get to a choreography

"I get goosebumps. My heart is pounding. There's just this feeling, and it's a good thing."
being a part of Unity was a movie night they had when they watched "Step Up Revolution." They headed over to a teammate's house, ordered pizza, and they fast-forwarded all through the "bad acting" so they could just watch the dance scenes and get excited about the dances, Metzler said.

block and I'm like,
'I don't know what to do, I need four counts! Heil!"
Each dance is tailored to the audience and environment in which it will be performed, which can be
challenging at times. When the group was planning their performance for Late Night in the Phog earlier this semester, they ended up having to change their music a handful of times to keep the songs "family friendly."
Despite restrictions like these, the dancers are able to use the
choreography to "put a piece of art together" that they're passionate about, said Justis.
Nguyen said she doesn't really know where she gets her ideas for choreography, and that it's just "pure creativity" from her brain. A lot of the time, she finds that the lyrics of an individual song will help her to start picturing a dance, while Justis described her choreography as more connected to the "groove" of the song, focusing on the music and intricacies of the background beats.
No matter how anyone acts off the stage, whether they're shy,
scared of people, or afraid to be the person they want to be, when they get up to perform it's a chance to "do something with no fear," according to Nguyen.
"Youd be surprised what you are capable of doing." Nguyen said. Justis and Nguyen described the feeling of performing as fueled with a "confident adrenaline."
"I don't think about anything when I'm performing, but I feel," Nguyen said. "I get goosebumps. My heart is pounding. There's just this feeling, and it's a good thing." Metzler described performing as being completely "in the moment."
and said it gives her a chance to not think about anything except feeling the music. Unity's next performance is Nov. 21 at the Jazzhaus.
Unity auditions are open to anyone with an interest in dance (male or female). If interested, keep an eye out on the Unity Facebook page for an update about tryouts after winter break.

What do amateurs even try painting? Is your art worthy of collecting or displaying in a gallery? How do you stack up against the professionals? These are interesting questions. But maybe the answers don't matter. Christian Williams, editor-in-chief of UTNE Reader, argues we ought to become better at encouraging and praising the simple act of expressing oneself creativity. The problem is, our culture has conditioned people who want to be creative to believe that unless they have the proper training, then

They were surprised at how often they have to tell someone that they're in the correct bathroom.
"You just have to laugh it off," Long said. "I don't know what else to do."
Mog and Long both said they wish there were more gender-neutral bathrooms on campus so that there's one less thing for students like Long to worry about while figuring out their identities.
Long is relieved whenever they see a gender-neutral bathroom.
"Or whenever I pull open the door and no one is in there, I'm just like, 'yes!' Long said.

FAT FROM PAGE 1
"We are skewing it more as choosing a healthier alternative than educating why something is so bad, giving the tips and tools for students to choose healthier option," Fortin said. "We haven't done a specific target on trans fats yet, but it's something that could come up in the future, especially with current articles that are coming out now and the government trying to regulate that more."
If the ban being considered by the FDA becomes a reality, the University will be able to offer a totally trans fat-free menu as food suppliers will be forced to adopt this policy.
"We look forward to adding even more low or no trans fat items to our menus once they become available," Rondon said. "Over time, manufacturers will reformulate recipes to lower or reduce trans fats in popular items such as chips, crackers and commercially prepared cakes and cookies."

Author Junot Diaz spoke to a packed audience last night in Woodruff Auditorium. Diaz delivered a lively lecture about generation gaps and his time in college.
Pulitzer prize-winning author lectures on culture,society
DYLAN LYSEN
dlysen@kansan.com
Award-winning author Junot Diaz spoke to a full auditorium of spectators about cultural differences created by immigration, nationality and generation gaps on Monday night in the Kansas Union's Woodruff Auditorium. Some audience members had to watch a live video stream from across the hall because of the impressive turnout.
"So many of us flee from the places that we feel that don't matter, these small places that no one values," Diaz said. "Not only have they made my art possible, but they made me possible."
Before reading his short story,
"The Cheater's Guide to Love."
Diaz structured his lecture
around responding to questions.
Although he was able to make the
crowd laugh with some of his answers,
he focused on addressing societal issues audience members asked about.
Diaz, who may be best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" and is a professor of writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was born in the Dominican Republic but immigrated to New Jersey as a child. Diaz said his personal experiences in the Dominican Republic and New Jersey made his art possible.
Diaz explained slow change by mentioning his time in college at Cornell University, which did not have faculty teaching U.S. Latino studies. A group of students fought back by trying to bring national attention to the missing education. Diaz said their efforts led to the creation of Latino classes and cultural organizations.
Most of Diaz's lecture addressed societal injustice caused by cultural differences, such as nationality and race. But while Diaz was encouraging the audience to fight back against injustice, he stressed that change is never immediate.
"The only thing we can do is keep fighting and keep organizing." Diaz said. "The only thing that made our chance happen was because people every year kept the struggle going. Even if it feels like you're going to get out and you've been grinded out, the truth is, if it wasn't for people who did a little bit each year, our dream wouldn't have been possible."
But when an audience member asked about young people today who seemed to be attached to their phones rather than trying to solve societal injustice, Diaz answered that young people today are not apathetic.
"You grew up in a culture that tells you that the job market is permanently ruined," Diaz said. "You grew up in a culture that no longer funds education, and so says, 'You want to learn, take a loan that will haunt you for the rest of your life.'"
Diaz said today's young adults have been raised in a culture that convinced them the future would not get better.
"Do you know, sir, what is the feeling that comes pouring of the students I meet?" Diaz asked the audience member. "Fear - it isn't apathy - it is fear."
But Diaz said society has to give the young adult generation credit, because there is no culture using the same resources to compare them to.
best with what they have," Diaz said. "They're doing pretty damn good."
Diaz brought the conversation back to art by telling the audience that you don't have to be special to make a difference or to impact someone's life.
"This culture tells you that there should only be one winner, and, therefore, convinces everybody that they should try to be special," Diaz said. "I don't need people to be special, I don't need my students to be the absolute best. I just need them to be in the game."
"I just think we have to remember that generations do the

PERCEPTION
Student athletes work just as hard in the classroom
A round this time of the year I always want to jump out of a fourth floor window of Anschutz. For better or worse, Anschutz doesn't have any fourth floor windows that open (they must have known). Yet, as I'm dealing with a decently heavy and stressful schedule, I am always able to take heart in the fact that there is a group that has it way worse than me — student athletes.
I know that people might think it's blasphemous and that Zeus should smite me right now, but I swear I'm telling the truth. Over the years, I have heard athletes called everything from "pampered" to "overpaid" and all other manner of things. They're dead wrong.
This semester I've been given the demanding, yet surprisingly fun and enlightening task of being a KU athletics tutor. While I hope that the students have learned
something from me, it is nothing compared to what I have learned from them about hard work and determination.
When people think of KU athletics, I feel like they are only thinking of the basketball team. It's understandable. Those guys are idolized and followed around and bothered as if they were rock stars (just let them walk to class, man). I guess I can understand that, but there is a whole other spectrum of people who are working at the same level who don't get worshipped and are somehow stereotyped as "dumb" by the general populace.
Honestly, before I started tutoring, I didn't fully appreciate their situation. As I sit crying and pouting to myself about how bad life sucks and how it's unfair how much work I have to do, they are having practice. While I'm taking my extra moments to study or play video games, they are at

practice again. When I'm taking a break from studying to manage my impressive stream of Facebook posts, they are at weight training.

attack opponents, or whatever their sports entail.
might even expect me to give out answers to tests and quizzes as they sat listening to iTunes on their solid gold Beats. As I got to know them, I began to appreciate the difficulties they deal with.
After all they have gone through, they are forced to go to tutoring with me, or someone like me. When I started, I didn't know what to expect. I was nervous that people would feel entitled and be powerfully lazy. I was afraid they
Keep in mind that many athletes are not on full scholarships; they have to find a way to make up for the leftover cost. But, whereas most of us might have time to pick up a part-time job, some of them might only get a living allowance that is meager given the work they put in.
Any stereotype that I expected has been completely blown out of the water insofar that I felt I must write about it. In spite of all the work athletes put in each day, they come to tutoring and listen with rapt attention as I ramb on about some nonsense that I may or may not have made up on the spot at that very moment. They attack their studies with the same intensity and ferocity that they
I just hope and wish that the general populace might understand that all of these young men and women are battling nearly insurmountable hurdles (in some cases literally) to better themselves. Some athletes are using sports as a way to pay for school. Before we go jumping to conclusions about how our athletes get too much special treatment, please remember that their schedules totally suck, and I would never ever want to do it. As a side note, the basketball team is no exception; they are working their butts off every night, breaking the stereotype. So before we judge someone, let us run a really fast mile, hit a ball and jump over something that athletes jump over, in their shoes.

ATTITUDE
A personal exposé on how to stop ranting and start mellowing out
I'm having a bit of a mid-life crisis. Or rather, a mid-twenties crisis.
You see, I've spent the past six months really coming into my own. I've been figuring out what I care about, what I don't care about and essentially who I am as a person.
I've been pretty proud to claim my belief in women's equality, LGBT rights, sensitivity to mental health issues and responsible social media use – among other things. Lots of other things. You could say that I'm rather opinionated. Or, put more harshly: rigid, unyielding, sensitive, judge-y, blah blah blah.
By Lindsey Mayfield
lmayfield@kansan.com
I don't really like being this person. I just thought it came with the territory of growing up and figuring out what your "causes" are. Turns on, I have a lot.
But then, a couple weeks ago, my mom told me, quite candidly, "I mean, it's kind of cliché. A privileged girl from the suburbs goes off to liberal Lawrence and comes back a Birkenstock-wearing anti-sorority girl who's always railing against something." To be fair, my mom didn't say it quite like this, but I filled in the blanks.
This was a show-stopper. I mean, REALLY? I had no idea. I thought people appreciated my rants. But, looking back, they probably found them more comical than convincing.
So, the past few weeks have been my official attempt to practice wholehearted living. Or.
put more plainly, giving people a break once every in a while, letting people be who they're going to be, trying to put good vibes into the universe instead of focusing on myself, etc.
Let me tell you, it has been totally awesome/really hard. For pretty much my whole life, I've been this fiercely independent, succeed at all costs, check off the to-do list type of girl, so actually slowing down and trying to find calm in my life has been awfully weird.
And yet, there's something so peaceful about letting go and focusing only on what you can control - your own personal happiness and contentment.
If you're like me - a type-A, borderline OCD, self-described "go-getter" who sometimes leans on the stubborn side - I highly recommend spending some time on this. Since my world was rocked by this, I've been employing the help of sites like Tiny-Buddha and Thought Catalog; authors like Gretchen Rubin and Brené Brown; spiritual elements such as yoga and meditation; and health considerations such as good sleep and - not gonna lie -
a well-placed anti-anxiety med.
a well placed and easy way. And though I'm not sure I agree with my mom that my ideals will mellow out as I grow older, settle down and take on bigger responsibilities than my minimum-wage internship, I am coming to realize that there is more to life than having an immovable opinion about several dozen things. Because, in the end, that can be a pretty negative place to be.
I used to be highly skeptical of people who were self-proclaimed optimists, had a "zen" mentality or who tended to just go with the flow and not overthink things. In some ways I still am, mostly because I know that type of disposition will never come easily to me. But I'm starting to see how existing in that mindset can be really comfortable, healthy and just easy.
As college students, it can be easy to get caught up in the resume, the GPA, the social scene and the part-time jobs. But I would argue that spending time on personal well-being is just as important — if not more important — than any of these. Because, in the end, how much we earn in a week or how well we score on that test will eventually become irrelevant, but living our lives with a sense of purpose and self-care will never go out of style.

SCHOOL
Writing tips for non-writing majors
College is stressful. College papers are even more stressful. And even though
even more stressful. And even though all your life your parents, teachers and professors stressed to you the importance of knowing how to write a strong, vividly worded, well-thought-out essay, some still have trouble accomplishing this.
Everything starts with a thesis.
Without a good thesis, a paper is nothing. It has no sense of direction, and there's no way of telling where it will go. I typically start by brainstorming all the material on the topic, and no matter what the subject, no matter how long the paper has to be. It opens up my mind and helps direct where I want to go with the paper.
Having a strong thesis to argue makes it much easier to establish your voice and give your professor a better idea of where your paper is. Take into account how many papers your professor will have to read: it's not only important to have a strong thesis, but one that will stand out among the other papers. Instead of writing an obvious, normal thesis, write one that will make your professor think. Make sure they know you are actually putting effort into the assignment and not just going through the motions.
Finding an identity for your paper can also be difficult. In other words, you have to find a way to make the paper yours. The identity of your paper is usually how you are able voice your opinion (or the facts), successfully. It's something to separate yourself from other students, and for your paper to stand out to your professor. There are multiple ways to do this, but it all really depends on your own writing style. For me, it's different with everything I write.
As far as English papers go, examining the author's past can give a much better understanding of the book at hand. This includes researching their previous works.

CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
but extends even beyond that. You can look into where the author grew up, if they have any religious affiliation and if, or where, they attended college. In everything you will ever write, your voice is another crucial part of your writing. Finding your voice is the only thing that will keep your reader interested and safe from the temptation of napping.
The next step, as easy as it sounds, can sometimes be the hardest. Just start writing. It doesn't matter if it sounds horrible or doesn't flow well. The important thing is to get words and information out of your head and onto the paper, especially because the amount of information college students are supposed to grasp is absolutely insane. Once it's on paper and somewhere other than your head, it's much easier to understand and continue with the paper.
FFA OF THE DAY
Being able to write clear, concise essays is vital to success in college. Whether you're a journalism major, wanting to write for a living or a petroleum engineer wanting nothing to do with it, being able to write is a necessity for any college student.
As for me, I am the biggest critic of my writing. But I still need a new pair of eyes on my work. Whoever it is, it is absolutely crucial to have someone look at your writing, because what makes sense to you may not make sense to someone else.

'12 Years a Slave' deserves Oscar, evokes emotion
MADDY MIKINSKI
mmikinski@kansan.com
There isn't a word in the English language that can describe director Steve McQueen's masterpiece "12 Years a Slave." Gorgeous. Tragic. Merciless. Heartfelt. These are all fairly apt descriptors but they fall short when it comes to describing the movie as a whole. It has to be seen to be believed.
The film, based on Solomon Northup's autobiographical book of the same name, follows Northup through his experiences as an illegal slave. After being kidnapped from his home in New York, wealthy freedman Solomon is transported through the South to New Orleans. For the next 12 years, he's subjected to all the horrors of slavery. Solomon witnesses families being torn apart terrible, unnecessary violence at the hands of ruthless masters, and lynchings — both attempted and successful.
The film's defining characteristic is its realism. It doesn't try to gloss over the nasty bits or turn them into something reminiscent of sugar and spice and everything nice. The movie presents
what slavery was in graphic detail - from the brutal beatings to the sickening racism. The movie doesn't try to protect the audience, but shoves it into a world entirely unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
This wouldn't be possible without the astounding talent of the cast. Chiwetel Ejifor does a heartbreaking portrayal of Northup. Somehow, through the screen, he is able to create emotions and project them into the audience, making them feel what Solomon is feeling. Ejifoor pulls watchers into the character and the story and doesn't let go until the film's conclusion. Ejifoor's performance is Oscar-worthy and deserves any and all praise it gets.
On the complete other side of the spectrum from Ejiofos' for Solomon is the star-studded string of actors who portray the various masters he is passed through. "Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch plays Northup's first owner, Ford. Cumberbatch does an outstanding job — as usual — portraying one of Northup's more sympathetic owners. All relatively good things come to an end,
though, and Northup is passed to the owner he'll be with for the rest of the film.
“12 Years a Slave” is a movie that encompasses some of the best acting this year. It's an emotional rollercoaster ride that lives up to the Oscar buzz surrounding it. “12 Years” has the talent and intensity to contend with other Oscar contenders such as “Gravity” and “Captain Phillips”.
FASHION
Michael Fassbender, as Edwin Epps, gives one of the film's other standout performances. Epps is brutally sadistic and Fassbender plays him to perfection. He morphs, somewhat scarily, into Edwin Epps' cruel figure. He's remorseless and selfish. Fassbender makes you hate Epps. He perfectly embodies the violent, destructive nature of slavery in the South. Epps is the perfect foil to Northuph's character. Though not a likeable character by any means, Fassbender gives an intense performance that sets itself apart from all others.

1. (Flannel, necklace, red hoop skirt, cowgirl boots, boot socks) This outfit touches all the bases. That fall flannel tucked into the staple red skater skirt makes it winter friendly. The statement necklace dresses it up a bit for those looking to go out after a big win. In order to keep your legs warm, take advantage of the approaching season's popular boot socks. 2. (Blue flowy dress, leather jacket, black boots, red socks) Because leather is trendy this year, it's the perfect thing to throw on over those flowing red and blue dresses so many students invested in for football season. To add a bit of game day glam, pin up your hair in an oversized hair bow. 3. (High-waisted jean shorts, statement red necklaces, flowing long-sleeve top, boots and boot socks)

How to dress for game day without breaking the bank
It's no secret that basketball season has officially arrived and is causing people to suit up in their reds, blues and yellows once again. Students can transition their football wardrobe into basketball season to make this time of year easier on their bank accounts.
After investing significant amounts of money in new apparel
for football game days, many female students don't want to rush back out and buy new clothes for basketball season. Andrea Serrano, a senior from Lenexa, said she understands students' desire to buy new clothes for football with the back-to-school hype. However, she doesn't find it as feasible for basketball season with money and time in short supply around finals.
"Once football season is coming to an end, which is right now,
I have a lot of bills," Serrano said. "I don't have the money to spend on new clothes. On top of that, it's a busy time of year so it's difficult to take the time to go buy clothes, especially for game day."
Sales associates at Fortuity, a local women's clothing store, agreed that the most popular items purchased for game day were skater skirts, flannels, flowing red and blue dresses, high-waisted jean

TOUR DESCRIPTION: Miley Cyrus released her album "Bangerz" in early October, which includes the singles "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball," According to Rolling Stone, 270,000 copies of the album were sold within the first week. She will be performing shows throughout December before taking January off, and will then start the Bangerz tour in February. She will make her way to Kansas City towards the end of the tour on April 15 at the Sprint Center.

What did you think of the ticket prices?
"I think she's going to put on a really good show because of all her previous shows, so I understand why it's so expensive. I'm willing to pay it just because I just love Miley Cyrus and I want that experience. I would rather pay the $90 and have a good experience."
Do you think this will be a popular show with college students?
Amy Anderson.
Junior From Overland Park
"I've heard a lot of people talking about wanting to go, but it's probably just more schedule because we're all so busy and it's on a Tuesday night."
What made you decide to purchase tickets to see Miley?
"I've been a pretty big Miley fan since her Hannah Montana days. I just think her music is fun to listen
to and her show would just be fun and memorable."
What did you think of the ticket prices?
"I thought that would probably be the price range. I heard, though, that to buy a meet-and-greet package it's like $900, which is ridiculous because for Justin Bieber it's only like $300."
"I just like Miley and I like her new album. One of the reasons I like Miley is that she stands up for women. People judge her but

What did you think of the ticket prices?
"I think ours were cheaper since we got presale. Ours were like $87, but I was expecting to pay more. I'm sure that's what would stop people from going. I'm sure more people would go if they were cheaper or they could afford them."
Do you think this will be a popular show with college students?
"Yeah, I'm sure, just because now she's changed and the crowd is different, so I'm sure it's going to be a lot of older people and teens."

'Booty call'app gaining campus popularity with Asian students
CORAL LU
clu@kansan.com
Online dating is not new anymore, but what about booty call mobile apps?
Now, thanks to a new Chinese "one-night stand" app called Momo, finding attractive people, talking to them and tracking them down is possible with a cellphone. Momo has become a popular app for KU Asian singles.
It allows users to find all types of people who are also using the app on their mobile device. Available information can include ages, birthdays, photos, interests and even a current location.
Yunteng Zhao, a senior from China, said he sees new Chinese students using Momo every day, and that meeting new people via Momo makes his social web wider because he is not very outgoing in person.
"I saw a cute girl on campus and I wanted to talk to her, but I don't know her," Zhao said. "A couple days ago, I found her in Momo because I saw her picture, so I just started to talk to her."
Momo was originally designed for socializing and meeting different people. The official website says, "You can meet anyone that you are interested in at any time and any
place; as long as you are near me, distance will no longer become an excuse to stop us"
Once people download Momo and create accounts, they share their information with all of its users. For example, men and women can pick whom they want to see in the app by selecting gender, height, weight, hobbies and even nearest location. Momo then creates a list of individuals that fit the requirements and provides photos. In the end, users just need to tap the screen and start a conversation.
Zhao said he has met more than five girls in Momo, and he is not the only one. Zhao added that one of his friends had sexual relationships with at least 10 girls through Momo, and that it was just like a booty call.
"Not only KU girls, they hooked up with girls from Kansas State, JCCC and even [some from] Chicago," Zhao said. "They traveled to different places during fall break, then their location would automatically change, so the nearest girls in Momo's list would also change."
Siaia Zhao, a junior from China, said she has been using Momo for several months. She saw the app was categorized as a tool for making friends and socializing, so she downloaded it. However, when she
realized people were really using it for something else, she felt insecure about it.
"People can track me by using Momo if I am using it as well because it provides a list of nearest people around you," she said. "Momo tells you how many meters this person is away from you, so if he walks [toward] me the distance will decrease, so it is just like a GPS."
Although users can block certain people they dislike on Momo, their information has still been shared with the public. Some, such as senior from China Mengchao Wu, have started having negative opinions of those who are using the app.
"I don't have it on my iPhone, but I have heard about it," Wu said. "My friends said it is made for a one night stand, so I don't want to download it and make myself look like that."
Whether Momo is used strictly for socializing, or for another purpose, many are pleased with its multifunctional options. Security and safety are the two biggest concerns so far, but one thing is certain: Momo has arrived at the University.

GAMEDAY FROM PAGE 5
shorts, cowboy boots and hair bows.
Claire Breslin, sales associate at Forttuity and a junior from Parker, Colo., was surprised by how dressed up students got this past football season. Jessica Bricker, head manager at Kieu's women's clothing store on Mass Street, agreed with Breslin and predicted that students will continue this behavior into basketball season by adding more statement pieces to items already owned.
"Trends are really big. At other schools we are seeing a lot of students dress up for games, whereas they used to not dress up so much." Bricker said. "I wouldn't be
surprised if, in basketball season, we saw a lot more leather jackets, tights, boots and boot socks to repurpose clothing."
Sherry Farrahi, president of KU Fashion Club, suggested wearing knit knee-high socks with cowboy boots or pairing tights with high-waisted shorts. Farrahi said she likes the idea of taking items from football season and making them work for basketball season.
"I am all for being creative this winter," Farrahi said. "As long as you are adding a winter accessory, such as a scarf, heavier coat, boots, etc., with the outfit, I think it could work."
Don't be fooled, you can still wear those high-waisted jean shorts and cowboy boots in the bitter cold. Take out that flowing long-sleeve top and maybe throw on a tank top underneath for extra warmth. Be sure to allow the top to flow over the jean shorts. Accessorize the outfit with a contrasting statement necklace and hair bow. Lastly, hike up your boot, socks knee-high and repurpose football season's cowboy boots.

BROOKLYN 34 NATTRENS 2
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brooklyn Nets forward Paul Pierce (34) reacts as he is sandwiched between Portland Trail Blazers point guard Mo Williams (25) and Trail Blazers guard Wesley Matthews (2) while driving toward the basket in the first half of their NBA basketball game at the Barclays Center, Monday, in Brooklyn.
Trail Blazers surge past Nets in seventh straight win
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — LaMarcus Aldridge scored 27 points, Wesley Matthews added 24 and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Brooklyn Nets 108-98 Monday night for their seventh straight victory.
Portland (9-2) is just a halfgame behind San Antonio and Indiana for the NBA's best record. The Blazers will try to complete a perfect 4-0 road trip Wednesday at Milwaukee.
shaun Livingston scored 23 points for the Nets, who stormed out to their best first quarter of the season and then seemed to run out of gas against the younger Trail Blazers. Kevin Garnett made all six shots in the 40-point first period,
Damian Lillard finished with 19 points and nine assists as the Trail Blazers withstood the Nets' blistering start to win seven in a row in the same season for the first time since a 13-game run in December 2007.
then went 2 for 13 from there to finish with a season-high 16 points. Garnett and Paul Pierce were back in the starting lineup after missing Saturday's loss to the Clippers in Los Angeles with injuries, though Brook Lopez and Deron Williams continued to rest sprained left ankles.
Pierce, who had a sore left groin, played as if he was still hurting, managing just 11 points on 2-for-12 shooting.
Portland turned the game around in the third quarter, limiting the Nets to 3-of-18 shooting and outscoring them 27-12 to take an 83-78 lead. They then opened the fourth with a 12-4 spurt to open a 95-82 advantage when Mo Williams was credited with a basket on a goaltending call.
Matthews was 5 of 8 from 3-point range, improving to 30 for 57 for the season (52.6 percent). He kept the Blazers in the game in the first quarter, when the Nets made 14 of 19 shots for a 40-31 lead.
Garnett, who hadn't been in
double figures yet in the Brooklyn black and white, got there in this one by hitting five jumpers in less than 3 minutes at the start. He took a seat after starting for 6 and then Livingston took over. He made all three of his shots in the period, including a driving, left-handed slam dunk over Robin Lopez that had teammates leaping up off the nearby Nets bench.
But they fell apart in the third, just as they have in all their losses, Brooklyn (3-7) has won the third quarter in all three victories and been outscored in the period in every loss.
NOTES: Aldridge grabbed eight rebounds, ending his streak of five straight double-doubles. ... The Nets were also without reserve forward Andrei Kirilenko, who continues to be bothered by back spasms. ... Brooklyn's previous high was 33 points in the first quarter at Washington. The Nets also lost that game after a bad third quarter.
NBA
Deng helps Bulls edge Bobcats
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — LuoL Deng scored 21 points and the Chicago Bulls overcame a rough shooting night to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 86-81 on Monday for their fifth straight win.
Carlos Boozer had 12 points and 17 rebounds for Chicago, which is on its longest winning streak since taking eight in a row from Feb. 20-March 7, 2012. Jimmy Butler had 14 points and Derrick Rose finished with 12.
Deng's 3-pointer with 27.1 seconds remaining gave the Bulls an 85-81 lead. Gerald Henderson then missed for the Bobcats, and Rose had a free throw to help Chicago wrap it up.
Rose, who hit a career-high six 3-pointers in the Bulls' 110-94 win Saturday over Indiana, went 4 for 13 from the field. The Bulls shot 27 of 75 (36 percent) overall.
The 2011 NBA MVP played 31 minutes in his second game back after missing Chicago's win at Toronto on Friday with a sore right hamstring.
Butler missed part of the game with a right toe injury but came back with 6:35 left in the fourth.
Charlotte was looking for its fourth consecutive road victory and third in four games overall, but it was unable to take advantage
ot the Bulls' poor shooting. Once again, the Bobcats struggled from the floor despite a strong effort in the paint.
The Bobcats were shooting a league-worst 40.2 percent from the field coming into the day, and they were 28th from 3-point range at 29.3 percent. On Monday, they shot 36.3 percent as a team.
Playing without injured center Al Jefferson, the Bobcats outscored the Bulls 38-28 in the paint.
Jeffery Taylor led Charlotte with a career-high 20 points and Henderson had 16 in a game that featured two of the league's top defensive teams. Entering Monday, the Bulls were third in opponents scoring at 90.0 points per game, while the Bobcats were fourth at 93.6.
Jefferson missed his third consecutive game with a bone bruise in his right ankle. Coach Steve Clifford said he hopes Jefferson can play Wednesday against Brooklyn, but he will more likely play Friday against Phoenix.
Jefferson, who signed a three-year, $40.5 million contract with the Bobcats in July, has played in three of Charlotte's 11 games and is averaging 15 points and 8.7 rebounds.
Charlotte trailed by as many as 10 early on but took a 42-40 lead with 2.18 left in the first half on a Kemba Walker layup, and led 44-40 at halftime. The Bobcats forced 10 Chicago turnovers in the first half while committing only two of their own.
And for a while, it looked as if Charlotte would be fine without Jefferson.
The Bulls moved in front again with 8:52 left in the third on a Joakim Noah basket and kept the advantage the rest of the second half.
A Henderson 3-pointer made it 80-79 with 1:27 left but Rose responded with a layup. Henderson then made two free throws with 51.3 seconds left.
NOTES: It was the Bulls' last home game before they host New Orleans on Dec. 2. Their next six are away from Chicago as they go on their annual circus trip. ... Clifford and Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau were on the New York Knicks' coaching staff from 2001-2003 and in Houston from 2003-2007. Thibodeau said Clifford has done an "unbelievable" job in his first year with Charlotte. ... Charlotte plays five of its next six at home. ... Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel, former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming, Bulls Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen and NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver were in attendance.

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks had a full week to prepare for lona after defeating Duke in the third installment of the Champions Classic. Coach Bill Self said a lot of the emphasis in practice has been on defending. With lona's smaller lineup, the Kansas big will be forced to guard on the perimeter a little more than normal. With the Jayhawks moving up to No. 2 in the Associated Press poll, the target on their back is only getting bigger.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Joel Embiid

M. AUGUSTINE OWEN

against Louisiana Monroe. Without Jeff Withey to patrol the paint this year, Emboid is expected to make up for his loss as he continues to develop. Look for him to get more involved on both sides of the floor.
QUESTION MARK
Will the Jayhawks be able to guard against a smaller lineup?
Coach Bill Self has called out Kansas' ability to guard after each game this season and with lona's ability to spread the ball around the Jayhawks will have to keep up on defense. When the Jayhawks have gotten beat in this situation it's usually led to a foul call. Giving the opponent a chance to score free points can catch up with the Jayhawks.
BY THE NUMBERS
64 Kansas has 64 consecutive home victories against non-conference teams
1988 Year Kansas last played Iona
17. 5 Jayhawks Assists per game
BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF..
Kansas can hold lona to 65 points or less. Iona has scored more than 70 points against Cleveland State and Wofford while the Jayhawks gave up 63 points to ULM in the season opener. Kansas should take this one easily, but the Jayhawks' defense will be worth watching.

There's no question having Tharpe back in the lineup provides more options for coach Bill Self. In the Champions Classic last week, we saw Tharpe and his backup, Frank Mason, on the court at the same time. Tharpe's leadership and communication skills are the key to the Kansas offense as most of his production comes without putting up too many points.

It was Selden's no-look bounce pass to Perry Ellis for an easy slam midway through the second half against Duke that turned the momentum forever in favor of the Jayhawks. Selden made his presence felt in the Champions Classic, and it's clear he's still far from playing a complete game. It appears he's adjusting to the college game at a fine rate.

STARTERS
Perry Ellis. Forward
Perry Ellis may have been the key in defeating Duke, but it was Wiggins who wrapped up the victory. After taking an NBA-esque step-back jumper, Wiggins threw down a fast-break dunk to put the lead out of reach. We still haven't seen the best of Wiggins, but the flashes are coming more frequently.
Andrew Wiggins. Guard
When Black is on the floor two things are noticeable: his ability to assert himself down low and his knack for picking up fouls. It's the latter that's affected his playing time. There isn't too much to be concerned with, Black will likely learn to stay out of foul trouble along with the rest of the team as they adjust to the new rules.
★★★★★
It was supposed to be Andrew Wiggins who nullified the freshman superstar counterpart on Duke. Instead it was Ellis who virtually matched Jabari Parker point for point and rebound for rebound. Ellis seems to improve greatly from each game and hasn't matched up with anyone who can come close to stopping him in the paint.
Tarik Black, Forward
A versatile player, the six-foot-seven sophomore transfer can play every position on the floor. Williams scored 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds against Wofford on Saturday. He is a threat from deep and has attempted 15 three-point shots in two games this year; he's made seven of them.
★★★☆☆
Isaiah Williams, Guard
A.J. English, Guard
The shooting guard has struggled in the two games so far this season averaging just 5.5 points per game. Known as an effective shooter from both mid-range and beyond the arc, English hasn't been effective shooting the ball yet this season. He's gone 22 percent from the field and hit just one of his 10 three-point attempts.

GAELS
IONA COLLEGE TIPOFF AT A GLANCE
With back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, the lona Gaets are certainly capable of making this a competitive game. The Gaets won the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference last season and were picked to finish second in the conference this year. Iona plays at a quick pace like Duke and has a lot of players that can shoot from long range.

Armand is ranked first in the MAAC in three-point
field goals made last year and third in three-point percentage. He will need to knock down a bunch tonight for the Gaels to keep the game manageable. The senior guard has excelled in his career and has taken on a leadership role this year.
QUESTION MARK
How will Kansas attack the Iona zone defense?
The Jayhawks have a serious height advantage over the Tigers at all positions. Fort Hays State may have to rely on some bench players depending on who Kansas has on the floor. At 6-foot-7, Brunson is the tallest player in the starting lineup for the Tigers.

Kansas gets into foul trouble again. The Jayhawks have totaled 51 fouls in their last two games while the Gaels have just 32. Against Duke, Tarik Black, Naadir Tharpe and Andrew Wiggins were all in foul trouble throughout the contest. Kansas needs to limit the number of times the Gaels visit the free throw line, where they have shot a respectable 77 percent.

Big 12 trophy.
After Oklahoma State lost its conference opener to West Virginia, coach Mike Gundy made clear to his team that nothing would be out of the picture as far winning a Big 12 title is concerned.
Oklahoma State is coming off a 38-13 win at No.24 Texas. Baylor, meanwhile, topped Texas Tech 63-34 without two of its most explosive playmakers.
"Once we played West Virginia, our message to the players was that they have to go out and compete. You have to win one to get to the next," Gundy said in the weekly Big 12 conference call.
Senior wide receiver Tevin Reese is out for the season, and junior running back Lache Seastrunk missed the game because of a groin injury. But, Baylor still put up a remarkable 63 points, two points above their average.
Baylor and Oklahoma State will be the site of ESPN's College Gameday, abd the night feature game on ABC at 7 p.m. Central Time.
OKLAHOMA'S QUARTERBACK
STATUS UNKNOWN
Oklahoma hasn't named a starter
at quarterback for its game against Kansas State. Coach Bob Stoops isn't giving out hints.
Stoops said he doesn't have an update on the injury of junior quarterback Blake Bell and will keep it secret until game time.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Trevor Knight entered the game against Iowa State when Bell got injured. Knight completed 8-of-14 passes and ran for 123 yards on 10 carries.
"He did great job, he always prepares hard during the week," Stoops said. "He did a great job of coming in and giving us a spark."
Knight's running capabilities opened up considerable holes for Oklahoma senior running backs Brennan Clay and Damien Williams who tallied 251 yards against the Cyclones.
KANSAS STATE BOWL ELIGIBLE
MISSISSA STATE BUNCE LEICHELLE
Kansas State is now卵 eligible after losing to FCS opponent North Dakota State in its season opener.
Kansas State, who won following a last minute field goal against TCU on Saturday, reached its sixth win. This season has been a testament to how coach Bill Snyder finds ways to win games.
Snyder said that the young core has a part in this, as they have been able to progress the team forward since a 2-4 start.
"The light went on at a certain point in time, they realized the value the principles that the program is about," Snyder said.
Sonyer said the team practiced harder and more disciplined, which helped them become a competitive team. Kansas State faces No. 22 Oklahoma this week as it seeks to extend the winning streak to five games.

THE MORNING BREW Saturday's win brings back warm memories for fans
The Kansas Jayhawks led the West Virginia Mountaineers 31-19 with 28 seconds left. Only an onside
recovery and a kneel down away from winning its first Big 12 football game since November 6, 2010.
The moment was surreal. As the two teams lined up to do battle for one last time, the Rock Chalk Chant echoed in the background.
By Daniel Harmsen
dharmsen@kansan.com
the Mountaineers lined up with two kickers, who criss-crossed at the whistle, tried to beguile the Kansas recovery team. The Mountaineers saw their bowl eligibility was in need of a miracle. But the trickery back-fired: The ball took an unusually friendly bounce for Kansas, and landed safely in the very welcoming and thankful arms of senior Christian Matthews. Freshman Monell Cozart and the Jayhawk offense took the field one last time. Much to the delight of the 30,809 in attendance, he took the snap and dropped to a knee, ending the 27-game conference losing streak once and for all. This moment was long overdue, but gosh did it feel good.
Before I knew it, I'd hopped the fence at the base of the student section with 8,000 or so other Jayhawks and stormed the field. Sheer pandemonium ensued.
As much as some have scoffed at the postgame celebration for being on the excessive side, it needed to be. This win was a long time coming.
As senior defensive end Kevin Young, who was recruited by Mark Mangino, said, "I felt like a little kid on Christmas." Young had never played in a win against a current conference opponent.
As I watched the yellow crossbar and two uprights float in Potter Lake a few days ago on a bluzy fall Saturday. I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by a flood of childhood memories.
James Sims' 68-yard touchdown run before halftime dipped into my bag of Kansas football memories. His 211-yard performance reminded me of Jon Cornish's 72-yard run on November 5, 2005, against Nebraska, which snapped a 36-game losing streak against the Cornhuskers.
Kansas also had special teams success that was reminiscent of the glory days. Senior Keba Agostinho recorded the first blocked kick for Kansas since Phillip Strozier got a paw on Missouri's game-trying attempt in the thrilling 40-37 Border War victory in 2008. Agostinho's block preserved the Jayhawks' 10-point lead going into halftime.
Another pivotal, memory-provoking play came early in the second half, a time when Kansas usually folds like a lawn chair.
With a little over 12 minutes left to play in the third quarter, and Kansas leading 17-7.
West Virginia was in the middle of a crucial drive. The Mountaineers had just extended the drive on a three-and nine completion to Wendell Smallwood, and the momentum was gradually shifting in their favor.
It seemed, like so many times of late, that Kansas was going to find a way to lose another game they had a second half lead in.
But sophomore defensive end Ben Goodman had other plans. On a first-and-ten play from
THE BREW
the Kansas 30 yard line, West Virginia
the Kansas 30 yard line, West Virginia quarterback Paul Millard tried to hit wide receiver Kevin White on a slant route, but Goodman wisely read the play, dropped back in coverage, snatched the pass out of the sky and scampered for the end zone. Goodman found himself in a footrace with Millard to the endzone. Millard would keep Goodman out of the end zone, but not before he made it all the way to the West Virginia 15.
Goodman's play on Saturday was eerily similar to Charlton Keith's play on that great 2004-2005 Kansas defense.
Two plays later, Sims capped off the short
On a key third down and five, from the West Virginia 10, Cozart rolled right, and pump-faked before the line of scrimmage, which confused the Mountaineer linebackers. Then, he ran for the first down markers, and kept the drive alive. Kansas fans haven't seen a play like that since Todd Reesing or Bill Whittmore donned the Crimson and Blue.
drive with a 2-yard plunge, which extended the Jayhawk lead to 24-7.
Aside from a few touchdowns, Kansas played a complete game and put a beat-down on an opponent, something we were used to seeing not too long ago.
West Virginia grabbed an early 7-0 lead, but Kansas would hold them scoreless for the next 52 minutes and 14 sec
onds. The Kansas defense was aided by a few dropped passes, but for the most part was smothering all day long. And the offense moved the ball well, especially on the ground.
Kansas ended a streak on Saturday. It wasn't the fun kind of streaking that Will Ferrell took part in in "Old School," nor the accomplishment of hitting safely in 56 straight games like Joe DiMaggio is so famous for. Kansas ended a 27-game conference losing streak on Saturday with the 31-19 win over the West Virginia Mountainers.
tameers.
As much as we think "We want 'Bama," I think that's still a ways off. Even still, Saturday renewed some lost pride in Kansas football. One streak ended and another one began. This streak, though, will be more fun to watch. We'll see if it continues in Ames, Iowa this Saturday. Rock Chalk.

And once again, Hood and Parker did most of the heavy lifting for Duke's offense. In all four games, the Blue Devils have been led in scoring by either Hood or Parker.

Hood's jumper after a pretty behind-the-back dribble came two possessions before a postering dunk, and a 3-pointer from the corner made it 44-24 with just under 4 minutes before halftime.

COMMENTARY
Sims should be remembered as Kansas great
By Ben Ashworth bashworth@kansan.com
Failing to win a conference game this year wouldn't have been fair to the Kansas fans who have maintained loyalty in the face of mockery from opposing fans. It wouldn't have been fair to coach Charlie Weis, who despite poor results has labored to get his team to improve.
It especially wouldn't have been fair to senior running back James Sims, who has been one of the rocks of the team from the moment he laced up his sneakers for the first time four years ago.
To put it in perspective, Kansas' last conference victory prior to beating West Virginia was November 6, 2010. At that juncture, many of the people reading this column were still in high school, making questionable haircut decisions and skipping class to go make out in the back of their 1992 BMW 3-Series.
On that date, Sims, a freshman at the time, rushed for 123 yards on 20 carries and scored four touchdowns. With 12 minutes remaining in the game, Kansas trailed 45-17. Everyone seemed ready to make another inevitable mark in the loss column. That is, everyone except James Sims.
Sims put the team on his back and scored three touchdowns in the final quarter, including the game-tying and the game-winning scores.
Without Sims' performance, Kansas last Big 12 victory would have been Iowa State on October 10, 2009, 39 conference games ago.
Fast forward to this past Saturday. Faced with the prospect of having a legacy of playing during three consecutive winless Big 12 campaigns, Sims decided to write a more suitable ending.
Sims rushed for three touchdowns and 211 yards. In the first half, he had more runs of 60 or more yards (2) than runs of less than three yards (1). On the 68-yard touchdown scamper, Weis showed trust in his senior running back, as many coaches would opt to take a knee that close to halftime.
Always one to play with pride, Sims has been a bright spot for four years. With a revolving door of mediocre quarterbacks, including Jordan Webb, Quinn Mecham, Dayne Crist, Michael Cummings and Jake Heaps, Sims always showed the will to win, even if his team didn't. In his junior year on a one-win team, Sims rushed for 100 yards in six-straight games, including 176 yards rushing against Texas and 180 yards from scrimmage against Oklahoma State. In every one of those games, Kansas managed to lose, despite his contributions.
Casual fans may remember Sims as the starting running back on a stream of unsuccessful teams, but that would be a disservice to all Sims has done for the Kansas football program. Saturday's game showed how important Sims has been. He is a back deserving of national attention. Playing for Kansas prevented him, for the most part, from achieving stardom, but no one ever saw Sims complain. Instead of gripping or wallowing in self pity, Sims put his head down and focused on how he could help the football team.

This has been the case for Tarik Black, who has run into foul trouble in each match this season. Self said a reason for this is Black has been pressing too much on defense.

Bill Self stepped to the microphone in Allen Fieldhouse on Monday unsatisfied with his team's play. He spoke of Duke exposing the Jayhawks, and although they pulled out a victory, Kansas' coach doesn't feel his team is playing a complete game yet.
"I'm excited about where we're headed," Self said, "I'm not thrilled about where we're at."
Most noticeably, Kansas has struggled to guard without fouling. Through two games, the layhawks have amassed 56 fouls. While the new hand-check rules have played a role in the high total, through two games in 2012 Kansas combined for 32 calls. In 2011 that number was 45.
Moments later Self was informed the Jayhawks ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press' latest poll. Not a bad spot to be in, but technically it can still get better.
One adjustment the Kansas defense struggles with is not having Jeff Withey on the floor. With the shot-blocking machine off in the NBA, opposing teams haven't been as afraid to drive the lane on the layhawks.
With a week between games, Self had more time to clean up the defense. The matchup with Iona tonight will show how much it's helped.
The Gaels' starting lineup features three players who are 6-feet-5 or shorter. Their tallest starter is 6-foot-9.
"They're small." Self said. "We'll be having bigs guard on the perimeter."
In the first two games, and preseason for that matter, the jayhaws' defense was at its most vulnerable when calling for help. Instead of playing the man, Kansas would often foul.
At least until freshman 7-footer Joel Embid learns how to take his place; it will take a team effort to make up for the loss.
"It doesn't bother me at all." Self said, after wondering aloud how Kansas was able to leapfrog Louisville. "You might as well be able to learn how to operate under a little stress."
more relaxed Tarik on Tuesday."

"There's no question we miss jeff," Self said. "I'm hoping Joel can become a more efficient rim protector."
Embid said the responsibility of making up for Withey's graduation falls on him. He's been working on changing his mindset to block every shot but still hasn't gotten the timing down. Embid has no trouble admitting that he's still learning. After all, he's only been playing basketball for three years.

It's not from a lack of trying.
This is why Self isn't thrilled with where the team is. He sees too much room to improve in every facet of the layhawks' game. It's also why Self isn't too high on his team's new ranking.

FOOTBALL
Weis analyzes offense after win, focus on Cozart as QB
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Coach Charlie Weis has talked about developing a formidable passing attack for the Kansas offense all season.
He's alternated wide receivers and offensive linemen. He's given the play-calling responsibility to assistant coaches, and now he's made the switch from junior lake Heaps at quarterback to freshman Montell Cozart, all in an attempt to stimulate the offensive production.
Those who watched Saturday's victory over West Virginia closely, may have noticed the Jayhawks' receivers stretched further across the field than usual, forcing the Mountaineers defense to do the same.
"When you go in on Monday morning and actually start game planning, you know everything changes, because now you're changing from a pure drop-back quarterback that's going to stay in the pocket, to a drop-back quarterback that is less experienced but has tons more athleticism." Weis said in his teleconference on Monday.
When Weis decided to start Cozart for the first time this season, he changed the game plan.
The team had to adapt in one week from a compact offense to a spread out offense.
Quarterback coach Ron Powls asked Cozart how he felt about running a spread offense early in the week before the West Virginia game.
"I said I love it. This is something I've been doing at Bishop Miege," Cozart said after the game on Saturday.
Three years ago, when Cozart stepped in as the starter at Bishop Miege High School, the same type of spread offense was put in place.
"A lot of the things they were asking him to do on Saturday were things he had to do with us," coach Jon Holmes of Bishop Miege said. "It's good to see things we did here with him, and he's able to do that at the next level as well."
Cozart gained comfort with the reads he has to make in the spread offense, and how to react in different situations.
The spread offense highlights Cozart's strengths as a dual-threat quarterback. The defense is forced to cover the length of the field horizontally, and Cozart can take advantage of that.
"He fits it great with the way he's able to run." Holmes said. "He's able to stretch defenses out and if they stretch too much he's able to run, and if they don't stretch enough I think these KU fans are going to see he can also hurt you with the run."
--when defenses aren't forced to consider the quarterback as another threat to run, it gives them a one-man advantage in coverage. Weis said.
A quarterback that is a threat to run on any given play eliminates that defensive advantage.
Rather than opening up the passing game, the spread offense opens up the running lanes. Cozart rushed for more yards (69) than he passed for (61), and senior running back James Sims had a game to remember with 211 yards and three touchdowns.
Just having Montell back there, a dual-threat quarterback, it helps out a lot," Sims said. "It takes pressure off of you because they have to worry about him as well."
Cozart played every snap of Saturday's game. Weis said that Heaps is obviously disappointed that he's not the guy at the moment, but that hasn't deterred him from helping Cozart prepare as best he can.
The future will tell if Cozart is the quarterback of the future for Kansas, and whether the receivers will remain spread from the sidelines going forward. The result of Saturday's game could be an indicator.

"I think Montell has a bright future and this was a good first step for him," Weis said.

University to choose between concealed carry or heightened security measures
EMMA LEGAULT
elegault@kansan.com
Students may be able to carry concealed weapons on campus within four years.
Currently, signs on campus buildings don't allow anyone to enter with a weapon. However, a Kansas law that passed earlier this year requires the University to make a choice — add security such as security guards or checkpoints to public campus buildings or allow students and faculty to carry concealed weapons.
students to conceal carry, it must implement security checkpoints on campus, which could cost thousands of dollars.
Yesterday, the Kansas chapter of Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) sponsored an "Empty Holster" project on campus to raise awareness about concealed carry and open carry laws in Kansas. At a town hall meeting last night, Kansas Senator Greg Smith, Kansas Libertarian Party State Director Al Terwelp and Mark Rinke of Kansas City Preppers spoke and answered questions about the current laws in Kansas, the status of proposed changes and how they might affect the University.
Will Stewart-Starks, the Kansas State Chair for YAL, used TSA checkpoints as an example of why that option might not be appealing to students. He also explained that there are too many points of entry to campus where people could carry a weapon through.
If the University doesn't allow

process of getting a license can take from 45 to 60 days. In Lawrence, concealed carry is allowed off campus in public buildings.
Often, constitutional rights are at odds with campus policies, Starks-Stewart said.
To get a concealed carry license in Kansas, a person who is at least 21 years old must submit an application, pay a fee and go through background checks and a certified training program. The

The stigma toward concealed carry is that it increases violence. Smith and Terwelp said there have been no crimes in Kansas involving licensed concealed carry, which may come as a surprise to some.
"We're dealing with fear — let's deal with fact," Smith said. "Fear stares a lot of good legislature."
"We talked to quite a few students and most of them actually support it. I was surprised, actually," said Kendon Brawner, event coordinator for YAL. "When you think of Lawrence and Douglas
The goal of the "Empty Holster" project was to start dialogue about the topic and its solutions.

Smartphones cause decline in digital camera sales

As people begin to value sharing their images in fast, convenient ways, the era of digital cameras is on the verge of extinction. Digital cameras could completely disappear within the next ten years. Look in your pocket, purse, backpack, or the palm of your hand. According to the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life project, 80 percent of adults age 18-34 own smartphones. Smartphones are replacing the need for separate cameras.
Smartphones are replacing the need for digital cameras. Camera sales are down 36 percent this year, in large part due to the fact that consumers are increasingly relying on smartphones to take photos.
Consumer digital camera sales are down 36 percent this year alone. Research from EOSHD. com says smartphones are the biggest cause for the decline. Daniel Coburn, an assistant photo media professor at the University, said advanced technology is going to be the death of digital single-lens reflexes (DSLRs).
"In my opinion, non-professional grade cameras will ultimately disappear and be replaced with mirrorless digital cameras," said Coburn.
Coburn explained that since so
many amateur photographers are documenting their daily lives with their phones, new technology has been created to convert smartphones into more developed devices.
Becca Levine, a sophomore from St. Louis, is one of many typical smartphone users who never has to worry about not being able to

producers such as Sony, Nikon and Canon. With a 10 to 15 percent decline in DSLR shipments around the world, studies from the market intelligence firm International Data Corporation predict that Nikon will be out of business within the next five years. As alarming as this may seem, consumers are becoming more inclined to snap a photo with their smartphones opposed to lugging around a bulky second device.
"I have a really nice Samsung digital camera and I never use it. Even when I went abroad, I usually used my phone because it was easier to carry with me," said Leah Swartz, a senior from Santa Monica, Calif.
"Phone cameras are becoming better and better, and I'd rather spend money on a really nice in-phone application for photos than buy a camera to achieve the same recreational result," Benson said. "For the most part, I take photos of my friends and scenery — something I find smartphone cameras to excel at."
Sam Benson, a sophomore from Overland Park, agreed.

Education funding case may threaten the University
REID EGGLESTON
reggleston@kansan.com
University funding may fall under siege in the coming months as the Kansas Supreme Court decides whether school districts across the state were unfairly shorted of funding over the past few years in the Gannon vs. Kansas case.
Dr. Richard Levy, J.B. Smith distinguished professor of law at the University, explained the possible complicated outcomes of the case.
If the court finds the districts in the right, the hammer could come down on the University and other public higher education institutions.
of resources, so resources devoted to one kind of activity are not available for another." Levy said. "If there's a substantial drain in funds, then it's probably likely there's less available for university funding"
On the line is $500 million that's how much the districts are claiming they were undercut when the state distributed funding.
"If the state were to lose, one response would be to defy the court, weakening the power of the courts," Levy said. "What I care about most is preservation of the rule of law. I fear that could be a casualty of this situation."
The range of legislative responses to an undesirable decision that spans from amending the state's school finance statutes to
impeaching justices. One of the legislature's options is to simply pay what is owed. However, the source of that money would be hotly debated.
It's not guaranteed that money will be pulled from universities if the decision displeases the state. Nonetheless, Kansas congressional representatives have urged the University to prepare accordingly.
According to the Lawrence Journal-World, Representative Jerry Lunn of Overland Park brought the issue to the University's attention when he said, "You really do have a horse in this race." The fiscal consequences of this case are monumental and the University is not exempt from the results.

"We worked with legislators last month to outline the role state funding plays in the success of the University," Martin said. "Any cuts made would be in accordance with priority. We would look at what direction the funding is currently going and try to keep these things protected."
Ultimately, the University could be helpless against the cut of the legislative knife.
"The priorities we have are based on the policy that the state makes," Martin said.

of the suing districts and the state were made Oct. 8. A final decision is expected sometime before the next legislative session begins in January, when public school appropriations are decided.
The case features University Professor and Kansas Solicitor General Stephen McAllister representing the state. His contribution could get the state off the multi-million dollar hook — for now. However, this case proves that the issue of state education spending won't disappear so easily, since it's an extension of a case that left off in 2010.

Digital wall-drawing relieves student stress
Tired of studying? Need a mental break? Look no further than your very own library. Today from noon to 1:30 p.m., students can go to the main level of Anschutz Library to doodle and draw with the library's digital wall-drawing equipment.
"It's just a very informal opportunity to come together and be creative," said Rebecca Smith, executive director for the KU Libraries Office of Communication and Advancement.
The program, which debuted last year and experienced success, is put on by the LibArt Initiative. The LibArt Initiative provides an outlet for students to display their art in campus libraries.
The wall-drawing program uses both hardware and software components. Students draw on a projector, create their images and then save them digitally so they can share with others. The outlet's popularity peaks toward finals week, when final papers, exams and projects drive students to the library.
"We do these events a number of times throughout the year, but especially at the end of the semester when students need a creative outlet or a mental break," said Smith.
All University students, faculty and staff are welcome to participate.

SANFORD, Fla. — George Zimmerman's girlfriend said he tried to choke her about a week ago during an altercation that was not initially reported to police, a prosecutor told a judge Tuesday during Zimmerman's first court appearance on domestic violence-related charges.

Samantha Scheibe feared life because Zimmerman mentioned suicide and said he "had nothing to lose," according to Assistant State Attorney Lymary Munoz.

After the hearing, Zimmerman's public defenders said he did not appear to be suicidal and expressed confidence he would be acquitted of any wrongdoing.
Hours later, Zimmerman was released from jail after

Earlier this year, Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges in the fatal shooting of teenager Trayon Martin in a case that drew worldwide attention.
In an affidavit filed Tuesday, Zimmerman asked for a public defense, saying he has liabilities and debts of at least $2 million and no income. He said he had less than $150 in cash on hand.

SandRidge plans to drill 100 Kansas wells in 2014
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Unfazed by its counterparts pulling out of Kansas, SandRidge Energy plans to spend $350 million next year to punch an additional 100 horizontal wells and build associated infrastructure in the Mississippi Lime formation in the state, a top executive told The Associated Press.
Pump Jack
A SandRidge Energy rig pumps oil near Anthony. SandRidge Energy said it plans to spend $350 million in 2014 to punch an additional 100 horizontal wells and build associated infrastructure in the Mississippi Lime formation in Kansas.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"So just by that number alone you can gauge our interest in the Kansas area," said David Lawler, executive vice president and chief operating officer for the Oklahoma City-based firm.
His comments in a phone interview last week stand in sharp contrast to Shell Oil Co.'s September announcement that the oil giant would pull up stakes and sell its Kansas assets. The Shell move was the latest in a litany of major oil exploration companies that have given up on the Kansas side of the Mississippi Lime formation.
Using horizontal drilling and a technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," to coax out oil and natural gas, companies have amassed fortunes from the porous limestone formation in northern Oklahoma and had hoped to do the same in southern and western Kansas. But as major oil players moved out, the focus in the past few months shifted to
the stragglers, such as SandRidge and the speculation regarding its plans for more than 1 million acres of mineral leases the firm had purchased.
SandRidge, which popularized horizontal drilling in the lime formation starting in 2010, has 170 producing wells in Kansas.
Lawler acknowledged his firm took "a pretty aggressive exploration program" when it drilled its first 25 exploration wells in Kansas with mixed results. Some showed really good results — as prolific as wells in Oklahoma — while some did poorly.
But after a shareholder revolt last spring, the company's new management has emphasized improving profitability and scaled back exploration.
"At this point we are taking a more measured approach and ensuring that we understand all aspects of the area that we are drilling in," he said. "So we are going a little slower than we have in the past because the rock does change from county to county in Kansas to a greater degree than in Oklahoma."
There are geological differences between the lime formation below Oklahoma and Kansas, experts say. Unlike Oklahoma, the formation on the Kansas side is typically shallower and varies in
depth, making it more difficult to find the "sweet spot" where oil can be profitably extracted.
SandRidge has had "strong" successes with wells in Barber and Harper counties in south-central Kansas as well as Finney and Hodgeman counties in southwest Kansas, Lawyer said. It plans to let some leases go and add leases in more promising areas. The company expects to operate six rigs in
Kansas next year.
Shell halted its Kansas exploratory drilling program in May and has put its 625,000 acres of mineral leases in Kansas up for sale, the company said.
"While Kansas has potential, other opportunities within the Shell portfolio provided more growth opportunities,"Shell spokeswoman Kimberly Windon wrote in an email.
SandRidge contends that with its lower overhead, it can more efficiently develop its assets in the formation than oil giants like Shell.
"We have been doing very well in that same area and we have the same type of data that Shell has," Lawler said. "We see opportunity across all of Kansas."

WASHINGTON — A sharply divided Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Texas to continue enforcing abortion restrictions that opponents say have led more than a third of the state's clinics to stop providing abortions.
The justices voted 5-4 to leave in effect a provision requiring doctors who perform abortions in clinics to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.
The court's conservative majority refused the plea of Planned Parenthood and several Texas abortion clinics to overturn a preliminary federal appeals court ruling that allowed the provision to take effect.
The four liberal justices dissented.
Justice Stephen Breyer, writing for the liberal justices, said he expects the issue to return to the Supreme Court once the appeals court issues its final ruling.
The case remains on appeal to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. That court is expected to hear arguments in January, and the law will remain in effect at least until then.
The Texas Legislature approved the requirement for admitting privileges in July.
In late October, days before the provision was to take effect, a trial judge blocked it, saying it probably is unconstitutional because it puts a "substantial obstacle" in front of a woman wanting an abortion.
But a three-judge appellate panel moved quickly to overrule the judge. The appeals court said the law was in line with Supreme
Court rulings that have allowed for abortion restrictions so long as they do not impose an "undue burden" on a woman's ability to obtain an abortion. Writing for the appeals court, Judge Priscilla Owen noted that the Texas law would not end the procedure, only force women to drive a greater distance to obtain one.
Justice Antonin Scalia, writing in support of the high court order Tuesday, said the clinics could not overcome a heavy legal burden against overruling the appeals court. The justices may not do so "unless that court clearly and demonstrably erred." Scalia said in an opinion that was joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Antony Kennedy did not write separately or join any opinion Tuesday, but because it takes five votes to overturn the appellate ruling, it is clear that they voted with their conservative colleagues.
are able to provide care. Already, appointments are being canceled and women seeking abortions are being turned away."
Breyer said the better course would have been to block the admitting privileges requirement at least until the court issued its final ruling because some women will be unable to obtain abortions. If courts ultimately find the law is invalid, "the harms to the individual women whose rights it restricts while it remains in effect will be permanent," he said.
Planned Parenthood and several Texas abortion clinics said in their lawsuit to stop the measure that it would force more than a third of clinics in the state to stop providing abortions. After the appeals court allowed the law to take effect, the groups said that their prediction had come to pass.
In their plea to the Supreme Court, they said that "in just the few short days since the injunction was lifted, over one-third of the facilities providing abortions in Texas have been forced to stop providing that care and others have been forced to drastically reduce the number of patients to whom they
"We will take every step we can to protect the health of Texas women."
CECILE RICHARDS
President of Planned Parenthood
Federation of America
The five justices and three appeals court judges who sided with Texas are all Republican appointees. The four dissenting justicees are Democratic appointees. U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel, who initially blocked the provision, is a Republican appointee.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, praised the Supreme Court action. "This is good news both for the unborn and for the women of Texas, who are now better protected from shoddy abortion providers operating in dangerous conditions. As always, Texas will continue doing everything we can to protect the culture of life in our
state," Perry said.
state, Ferry said.
Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said the groups will continue the legal fight:
"We will take every step we can to protect the health of Texas women. This law is blocking women in Texas from getting a safe and legal medical procedure that has been their constitutionally protected right for 40 years. This is outrageous and unacceptable — and also demonstrates why we need stronger federal protections for women's health. Your rights and your ability to make your own medical decisions should not depend on your ZIP code," Richards said.
Tennessee and Utah are the other states enforcing their laws on admitting privileges. Similar laws are under temporary court injunctions in Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, North Dakota and Wisconsin.
In Texas, 12 abortion providers say they have attempted to obtain hospital privileges for their doctors, but so far none of the hospitals have responded to the requests. That means those clinics can no longer offer abortions, leaving at most 20 facilities open in a state of 26 million people. All of those facilities are in metropolitan areas, with none in the Rio Grande Valley along the border with Mexico. Currently, only six out of 32 abortions clinics in Texas qualify as ambulatory surgical centers, and some have doctors who do not meet the admitting privileges requirement.
Texas women undergo an average of 80,000 abortions a year.

The best thing about tonight's game has been not having to listen to Dick Vitale wheeze his way through stupid comments.
I think that since I pay KU tuition I should be able to access a live broadcast of the KU game. Why is that not a thing?
There's nothing quite like that feeling you get when you arrive at the stark realization that you should have wiped one more time.
Just witnessed the KU band Wabash...is it too late to transfer?

Digital economy requires new consumer consciousness
Back when playing the game "Never Have I Ever" was fun and considerably entertaining, I would always start with the same one. "Never have I ever stolen something." It somehow didn't occur to me that I had in fact stolen not just one thing in an isolated incident, but I had stolen many things many times. I had stolen music.
stolen music.
The concept of "stealing," or illegally downloading music on the Internet, is no new phenomenon. In fact, the word stealing might even seem a little harsh considering the commonality of the act. But that's what it is after all — isn't it? Why is it that when it comes to the digital economy, our consumer conscious disappears?
On June 16, 2012, a newly hired intern at All Songs Considered, a multimedia blog through NPR, posted an article titled, "I Never Owned Any Music to Begin With." The article immediately crunted, causing an Internet
avalanche of responses — some hasty, some supportive, but ultimately feeding fuel to the already heated debate over piracy. In the article, the intern stated that while her iTunes library exceeded well over 11 thousand songs, she had only purchased 15 CDs in her lifetime — an unsettling imbalance.
"I never went through the transition from physical to digital," the intern stated in the article. The same goes for most of us that may be reading this — as part of Gen-Y, we were raised in the rapidly growing digital economy — never fully comprehending that we were losing things we barely had.
By Lyndsey Havens
lhavens@kansan.com
The intern acknowledged this in the article by saying, "I wish I could say I miss album packaging and liner notes and rue the decline in album sales the digital world has caused. But the truth is, I've never supported physical music as a consumer. As
monumental a role as musicians and albums have played in my life. I've never invested money in them aside from concert tickets and T-shirts."
Honestly, for some time, I too believed that this could be enough. Though I have, and still do, praise the importance of live performance and often fashion concert and band T-shirts — I learned that this is no way to truly support any musician for their work. Is it possible that we the fans have become the sell-outs here? Applauding ourselves for attending a show or buying a shirt, when in reality most artists
want is to be making money for just that - their art.
A documentary currently in the works titled "Unsound" explores these exact concepts in detail. According to the official site, "Unsound" will reveal "the dramatic collapse of the music industry and the unintended consequences the Internet revolution is having on creators of all kinds. Featuring noteworthy musicians, filmmakers, journalists and beyond," "Unsound explores the struggle for creators trying to survive in the age of free," according to unsoundthemovie.com.
While the most prominent digital music marketplace, iTunes, along with streaming services such as Pandora and Spotify, seem to have figured out how to generate a ton of money in this "age of free," the "creators of all kinds" still have a ways to go. Last October, the Future of Music Coalition held their annual Future of Music Summit. The summit
addresses current issues facing the music industry, and the "ins-and-outs of digital business models and revenue generation" certainly made the list on futureofmusic.org.
- some magic fix that will glue together pieces of the past with fragile fragments of the future
- I think that for now, we as the Internet savvy, social-media-addicted, digital-dominating generation, need to develop a consumer consciousness applicable to the digital economy that we will continue to live in.
While everyone in the music industry desires and craves some sort of digital business model
From the industrial revolution to the digital one — never have I ever been more eagerly concerned to see what we will do next.
BEING THANKFUL

Don't take everyday happiness for granted
I was 9 years old when I realized that life is one twisting, epic story. I started to see the world in colors, words and appropriately scored musical themes. I saw my personal day-to-day trials as the small ups and downs that keep each chapter of my life interesting. But with this revelation, I've noticed — and subsequently struggled with — the assumption that my life should be as easily managed as a fictional story. With the exposure to relatable, yet wholly made-up narratives, it's easy to get caught up in the tropes of writing and expect our own lives to function in the same way.
As my years on campus have passed, I have begun to see this more and more in attitudes of my peers — we all expect a happy ending, because happy endings are all we know. This, while surely being something to strive for, is a paradoxical assumption. What I mean by that is, the more we expect happy endings, the less they tend to appear to us.
The fact that happy endings appear less frequently in our lives does not necessitate the idea that happy endings are occurring in our lives less frequently; in many ways, happy endings are occurring in our lives constantly. The real issue here is that our constant search for that typical, fiction-worthy happy ending leaves us ignoring the real happy endings that are actually present in our lives. In other words, we
By Tasha Cerny
tcerny@kansan.com
tend to ignore the good in our lives because it simply isn't a big enough 'wood' to acknowledge.
This is something that has been bothering me a lot lately, because frankly, ignoring — or even assuming — the positives of our lives lends itself to a habitual focus on the negative, even when that negative is so infinitesimally small that it sounds absolutely ridiculous to dwell upon. And hence, the hashtag #firstworld-problems was born.
So, for those of you lost in this endless abyss of pessimism, and in light of the upcoming holiday,
I lend my suggestions on a few things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving:
1 A football coach and players who still have faith enough in our team to improve, even though victory and fans come slowly.
2 The facility workers who, undoubtedly, were left to retrieve the pieces of goal post from last weekend's game out of the toxic waste that is Potter Lake and the jaws of the Potter lake whale.
promising talent, and the signs of a good season ahead.
4 A fresh basketball team with
5 New NCAA rules that make basketball games twice as long, meaning twice as much excuse not to do homework and watch the game instead.
We aren't MIZZOLD.
7 Great faculty and resources,
like the Hall Center for Humanities
and the Honors Program,
that bring in amazing guest lecturers, like Junot Diaz, and provide support and scholarship to high-achieving students.
8 The KU Libraries, their facilities and all of the resources they provide. (Did you know you can check out headphones and laptops at the libraries?)
9 We aren't Mizzou.
10 Mass Street, and the greater area of Lawrence, for being genuinely awesome in all respects.
11 And finally the fact that we are neither K-State, nor Mizzou. If those don't seem like reasons enough to give thanks this year, really stop and think about your life and your privilege. A simple Google search will lead you to endless numbers of resources detailing the struggle of everyday life in poverty-streken areas, war-torn regions and third-world countries. The truth is, life as we know it could be far worse than you could probably ever fathom. And we should be grateful that it's not.

'White girl problems' creat self-promoted stereotype
Before I say anything else, you should know that I am white, I am a girl and yes, I do have problems. But not "#whitegirlprobz." just normal people problems that have no gender or race.
As fall comes to a close, the end should also come for the white girl stereotype. Social media outlets like Twitter have created an image of the "common white girl," holding a Starbucks triple-grande non-fat soy pumpkin-spice latte with whipped cream (hold the foam) in one hand and her iPhone in the other, Instagramming a selfie of her Uggs/yoga pants combination. If she drops her iPhone and it cracks, spilling her coffee in the process, she is experiencing a "whitegurl-prob." Other white girl problems include, but are not limited to, saying "literally" too often, being teased for having an infinity tattoo and not being able to load Netflix to catch up on Gossip Girl.
What I cannot understand is how these are solely "white girl problems." Anyone can crack a phone or spill Starbucks, and anyone can enjoy selfies and Instagram. So why are these things pinned to the white girl image?
CAMPUS CHIRPS BACK
To understand why, it is important to understand what this perception is saying about race itself. It seems that these shallow images are projecting the idea that white people can't possibly have real problems compared to other races. This makes the idea of a white girl's definition of a problem seem laughable. While these jokes are initially funny, girls do not realize that they are putting themselves down when they retweet these shallow problems. Not only does it create a negative image for all white girls, but for themselves too, because it implies and brags about having a luxurious life — one that non-white girls might not have. Is that really the image that we should be projecting? An appearance of shallow privilege?
When tweeting about white girl problems, it is also important
By Meghan Ketcham
mketcham@kansan.com
to realize these "problems" may diminish actual problems. It may be a white girl problem if the girl rear-ends her car while trying to Snapchat, but it is a real problem if she actually gets hurt in the process. In a less extreme case, it might be a white girl problem when a girl spills her coffee all over her pants, but it is a real problem if those are the only pants she owns. We shouldn't be labeling these issues by the race or gender of the person that has the problem. Remember kids: labels are for soup cans, not people and their problems.
FFA OF THE DAY
Oddly enough, it may be white girls themselves who have created the image by promoting it. While the individual factors that make up the stereotype can be applied to anyone, the use of Twitter as a way to vent have built the concept of the common white girl. It may be funny to retweet these problems, but keep in mind that every time you RT or favorite, the stereotype continues to build. In the end, girls are only hurting themselves by saying that these stereotypes are OK. It is perfectly acceptable to take pictures of food and coffee, but attributing these exclusively to the "common white girl" is nonsense.
There's being selfish, and then there's taking two frosting packets for one Toaster Strudel. Unbelievable.
So ladies, feel free to get as many infinity tattoos as you desire and take infinite amounts of selfies on Sundays. Don't let the "common white girl" stereotype deter you from being you, and if your phone breaks or Nettflix won't stop buffering, remember that this is not a white girl problem. It's just your problem.

Action Bronson album sequel worth a listen
MUSIC REVIEW
Action Bronson is a rather prolific artist. Since 2011, he's released eight
2011, he's released eight projects and has done numerous guest verses. You'd think that after releasing so much material, some of it would begin to become stale and watered down, but this is not the case — Action Bronson only seems to get better with each project. Bronson looks to continue this success by teaming up with remixer Party Supplies for the sequel to last year's stellar mixtape, "Blue Chips."
The first thing that should be noted about "Blue Chips 2" is that Party Supplies' production is perfect for Bronson. These two artists were clearly meant to work together. Sometimes Bronson seems to get overwhelmed by production, but he and Party Supplies mesh so well that this isn't a problem on "Blue Chips 2," as it was on his last few releases. Throughout "Blue Chips 2," Party Supplies uses many samples,
Throughout "Blue Chips 2", Party Supplies uses any samples, but the song that stands out the
most is "Contemporary Man." Party Supplies has Bronson rapping over samples of '80s pop hits like Phil Collins "Sussudio" and Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer." On paper, this shouldn't work, but they pull it off wonderfully. The beat switches every so often from one '80s classic to another, and Bronson doesn't miss a step.
Bronson's style is intriguing. He doesn't really make songs with distinct concepts and stories. He just raps. He's usually all over the place in his rhymes. One minute he might be talking about eating tacos in a foreign country, the next he's rapping about fixing NBA games. Any other rapper probably couldn't pull this off, but it works for Bronson because he's hilarious. Some of his one-liners will have listeners bursting out in laughter.

We all know those recommendations. The ones that say, "If you liked X, you must like Y." Sometimes they're spot on. Other times? Not so much. In fact, I was perusing the Internet the other day and found an entire post dedicated to the errors Nettlix makes in this practice.
Have no fear, fellow Netflix addicts, for I will now try and correct those errors. In other words, here are some recommendations I believe make actual sense. Note: All of the following shows are available for instant streaming on Netflix.
Neal Street Productions
CALL THE MIDWIFE
If you liked "Downton Abbey," try "Call the Midwife."
Some other ideas for those of you who like British TV shows:
Watching "Downton Abbey" is like riding the most extreme, emotional roller coaster. "Call the Midwife" is another British TV drama homerun. Though it doesn't match the Abbey's level of emotional toil, it does have a good mixture of drama, comedic relief and an incredible cast.
Netflix's 'try this' isn't always on the mark
"Merlin," "Doctor Who," "Fawlty Towers" and "Sherlock."
dalinouse
Fox Television
If you liked "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" try "Dollhouse."
Really, as far as similarities go, the only important one is Joss Whedon. One of his less successful endeavors, "Dollhouse" focuses on Echo, a programmable doll who tackles life-threatening situations with different personalities. I believe this show is even better than "Buffy," but I've realized that I'm on the unpopular side of that argument most of the time.
If you like TV dramas that feature a kickass female lead, you should try: "Once Upon a Time," "Nikita," "Lost Girl" and "Alias."
College Hill Pictures
CHUCK
If you liked "Psych," try "Chuck."
If you're less interested in the kickass female and more into the lovable male, then "Chuck" is where it's at. Chuck and his
loveable personality had quite the following during the show's glory days. Luckily, Netflix just added the entire series. So, go forth, fall in love and learn the ways of this unconventional government employee.
Other shows with loveable male leads: "Archer," "Firefly," "White Collar" and "Better Off Ted."

Philadelphia, "try" Portlandia.
Finally. Straight comelovers, I haven't forgotten you. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is one of those TV shows that, no matter what the occasion, I'll watch while flipping channels because I know it'll make me laugh and won't leave me disappointed. "Portlandia" is very similar — there was never a time that I went through an episode without laughing out loud, sometimes at an embarrassing level.

BASKETBALL
Jayhawk backcourt doesn't rely on jump shot
IBRIAN HILLIX
Kansas has been held to less than 40 percent shooting from three-point range in its first three games this season. But that hasn't seemed to matter.
bhillix@kansan.com
The Jayhawks finished 4-for-14 from three-point range against Iona on Tuesday, but found success attacking the paint against the Iona zone defense. While it's tempting to put up jump shots against a defense concentrated in the paint, Kansas was able to drive the lane effectively and score easy points near the basket.
"The key to [attacking] zone defenses is getting the ball to the middle so you can break the defense down," guard Frank Mason said. "Just keep moving the ball so it doesn't stay in one spot."
Kansas has won the past two games despite combining for just seven successful three-point attempts. The winning formula has been to score near the rim, especially for the backcourt.
The Jawhawk guards have excelled at reaching the rim, especially in the last two games. In fact, Mason, Andrew Wiggins and Wayne Selden have earned a majority of their points this season off the dribble and finishing in the paint.
This aggression helped Kansas extend the lead into double digits in the second half.
After going scoreless in the first half. Mason checked into the contest with 15 minutes remaining in the game. Upon entering, he drove the lane with ease and tallied seven quick points on a couple floaters, a driving layup and a free throw. Mason finished with nine points in 13 minutes.
"The lack of energy by some of our key players kind of set the tone for everything," coach Bill Self said. "The second half, Frank got in there and did some good
Mason stepped in against Duke last week and excelled in the paint as he totaled 15 points on the night while going 11-for-12 from the free throw line.
things."
Following his stellar performance at the Champion's Classic, Wiggins scored 13 points Tuesday with six of his points coming off dunks. All but three of his points came attacking the rim as he also went 4-for-4 from the line. He shot just 25 percent from long-range on the night and is 3-for-9 on the season. Other than his smooth step-back jumper late in the second half, Wiggins scored most of his 22 points on layups and dunks.
Selden, who has struggled at times this season, has been the most effective when able to slush to the basket. In his best game of the season last week against Duke, Selden put up 15 points with only three points coming from the outside. He is 2-for-7 from long range this season. His seven points last night against Iona came near the bucket.
Especially with the new hand-checking rules, this aggression has led to free points at the charity stripe. The Jayhawks have gone to the free throw line 27 more times than their opponents this season. Against the Gaels, the Jayhawks made 16 of 25 free throws.
All of these players are more than capable of making multiple jumpers in a game, but no situation has called for that yet this season. It's helped that Kansas hasn't faced a large deficit.
The Jayhawks don't need to put up jump shots when their strength earns easy baskets down low. If Kansas needs a boost from the three-point line, White III, Frankamp and Greene will be waiting on the bench.

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK Cozart officially listed as starter
CONNOR OBERKROM
coberkrom@kansan.com
COZART ATOP THE DEPTH CHART
To nobody's surprise, Monten Cozart was listed on the depth chart as the starter officially for the first time this week.
Cozart took every single snap in Kansas' 31-19 victory over West Virginia, and progress is being made in grooming the freshman quarterback for the future.
Jake Heaps has been praised for his role in helping Cozart feel comfortable in a situation that can get messy a lot of times.
When someone takes your job away — as Cozart did to Heaps — players can be dismissive, but thanks to Heaps, everything has gone smoothly for Kansas football.
"Jake — how he has handled Montell has been one of the
biggest blessings we've dealt with," Weis said.
JERSEY CONUNDRUM
Kansas gray jerseys in the game versus West Virginia were hard to decipher on the field according to Weis, but it won't be the last time the team wears them.
"We won the game; wouldn't you want us to wear those uniforms every game?" Weis said.
Weis mentioned that it garnered some complaints from the press box and he even acknowledged the difficulty of seeing the numbers up close. Weis doesn't have any input on how the jerseys are selected and said he doesn't have any idea about the process.
FRIGID WEATHER FORECAST IN AMES
ON SATURDAY NIGHT
The weather in Ames, Iowa, on
Saturday night isn't anticipated to be exactly toasty for Kansas vs. Iowa State.
The projected high is 22 degrees with winds maxing out at 21 miles per hour, and a low of 10 degrees at night.
Weis noted that it will be significantly warmer in both places during the week than it will be on game day. Weis said that there's no distinct advantage for either team because of the similar conditions for both.
Weis said he addressed it once after Tuesday's practice and won't mention it again. He said he doesn't want to hear any complaints from the players.

"It is a test for us," Coach Bonnie Henrickson said after the Jayhawks' victory against Creighton. "It's a test for the young kids."
Playing on the road is usually more difficult for a team.
"It will be good. It's a good Big 10 test for us," Henrickson said. "You get more pop for a road win. We talk about in the locker room."
The Jayhawks are starting to form an identity on the court. They are efficient on the offensive end and follow their gameplan. They've shot an even 50 percent from the field this season.
In the first three games, the mentality was to first throw the ball inside to junior forward Chelsea Gardner. Gardner is making 63 percent of her field goals. Her shots are usually around the rim, but she showed off her range by hitting two
jump shots in the victory against Creighton on Sunday.
Junior Asia Boyd is also emerging as a viable scorer. She is second on the team when it comes to scoring and has set new career-highs in points in every game this season.
The Golden Gophers are coming off a loss to Kansas' last opponent, Creighton. Minnesota, which played Creighton the day before the Jayhawks' did, was hindered by turnovers. The team made 46 percent of its shots, but couldn't hold onto enough opportunities to capitalize on the high percentage.
One player who has been quiet so far is junior Natalie Knight. After returning from an ACL injury, she is struggling to find the basket. She leads the team in assists with 14.
Minnesota sophomore guard Rachel Banham has scored in double-digits for 19 straight games. She's just in the beginning of her sophomore season, but Banham is
already climbing up Minnesota's all-time scoring list and currently sits in 13th place with 712 points.
Minnesota and Kansas matched up last December, which resulted in a Jayhawk victory. Kansas leads the series 14-3, but all three Golden Gopher victories have come in Minnesota.
After this trip, the Jayhawks head to their Thanksgiving tournament in the Virgin Islands. They will play three games on neutral courts. Henrickson said they've talked about the scenery they'll encounter in their travels and will focus on scouting the opponents after tonight's matchup.
"We've got a chance to go get another big win and go win on the road at a Big 10 program. That's the most important thing," Henrickson said.

After the No. 22 Jayhawks (20-6, 10-3) defeated their in-state rival Kansas State on Saturday, Kansas looks to even out the series against the Iowa State Cyclones (17-6, 10-2) tonight in Ames, Iowa.
The win against Kansas State was win number 20 for Jayhawk volleyball this season and was the second consecutive season with more than 20 wins. The last time the Kansas volleyball program posted a back-to-back 20-win season was during the 1982-83 season. Coach Ray Bechard, who has never had a back-to-back 20-win season, said he is proud.
"Especially with the schedule we
took on this year", Bechard said. "Twenty is a good mark and I think it is the first time back-to-back 20-win ever . . We have to keep stacking them like that, but that is a good place to start."
The 20-win streak is important to the players too. Redshirt senior Catherine Carmichael worked hard all season to help the team get to where it is today.
"People say we don't want to talk about last year, but you have such success one year then you don't want to come back and have everyone expecting the same thing but not deliver," Carmichael said. "We tried not to compare ourselves to last year, but making ourselves better."
meaning other than the potential of a 21-win streak. Not only have the jayhawks not pulled out a win in Ames since 2004, whoever wins tonight will be No. 2 in the Big 12 Conference.
If Iowa State wins, the Cyclones will hold the tiebreaker over Kansas if a tie takes place at the end of the season.

match will be the Jayhawks' 12th road match of the season.
The last time the Jayhawks and Cyclones faced off, the match went five sets and came down to the last point, where the Cyclones ended

Round two between Kansas and Iowa State will come down to who plays their game the best. The Cyclones lead the Big 12 Conference with almost two service aces per set, but the Jayhawks lead the conference by allowing the least amount of aces a set (.67).
Iowa State is one of the best defensive teams in the Big 12 Conference. The Cyclones lead the Big 12 by averaging just under 17 digs a set, which is lead by 2012 All-American libero Kristen Hahn. Hahn leads the Big 12 with six digs per set.

THE MORNING BREW
Chiefs defense brings Manning's stats down a notch
It's Monday morning after the Chiefs vs. Broncos game — the NFL game of the year thus far. As usual with my morn- routine, I scroll through a timeline full of tweets, many relating to last night's 27-17 win by the Broncos.
I was fortunate to see one of my buddies, a Broncos fan, make a fabulously bold claim. And I took the bait.
"So much for that mean Chiefs D owning the old immobile Peyton.. wait what?" the tweet read.
It usually takes about 15 minutes for me to sloth out of bed each morning. But after seeing this, it was a must that I rush to my laptop, crunch the numbers and prove him wrong.
By Jackson Long
jlong@kansan.com
The initial look at Manning's numbers is impressive. He played a mistake-free game while still amassing over 300 yards through the air. And Denver thoroughly won the two most important in-game matchups.
An injury-riddled offensive line was supposed be fresh meat for the Chiefs' NFL leading pass rush. The hobbling Manning was never sacked, nor even knocked down. Perhaps the Chiefs' greatest perceived advantage entering the game proved to be just the opposite.
The other matchup featured the physical defensive backs of Kansas City against a Denver receiving group prone to struggle against that type of play. Kansas City's Marcus Cooper looked like the rookie he is against Denver's Demaryius Thomas, giving up combinations of penalties and big plays.
Couple those with a turnover and leaving points on the field, and that's no formula for beating the Broncos.
But if you really do crunch the numbers, that "mean Chiefs D" my friend satirically mentioned was still actually much closer to living up to its billing. Because you can't own Manning, but you can change him.
Peyton Manning's numbers against the Chiefs
24 completed passes of 40 attempts,
60 percent completion
323 yards passing
1 touchdown
0 interceptions
Manning's 66.5 QBR for the game puts him just above the season averages of Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford, Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan — good, but highly elite quarterbacks in the game. The number falls far short of Manning's NFL leading 82.2
QBR average and would move him from a distant first to crowded sixth on that list.
ESPN QBR rating of 66.5
So essentially, that "mean Chiefs D" transformed the world's best quarterback from elite to above average.
THE BREW
The 60 percent completion rate Manning posted was his second lowest in his 10 games this year. His only lower percentage (59.2) came in Denver's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Sunday's percentage was 9.9 percent lower than Manning's season average and would rank him 20th in the NFL if that were his season average. That percentage would trail the less-than-impressive names of Chad Henne, Sam Bradford and Jake Locker.
So essentially, that "mean Chiefs D" made a future Hall-of-Famer look like a Jaguars quarterback.
Also, Denver wasn't shy about throwing the football Sunday. Manning dropped back to throw 40 times on the night, just one attempt under his season average. He trails only Matthew Stafford and Andy Dalton in this category. So if the argument is that the sample size was skewed against this "mean Chiefs D", it's actually a perfect match.
Kansas City did not sell out to stop Denver's passing attack either. The Broncos ran the ball 36 times for 104 yards. The result was an average of less than three yards-per carry and no rush longer than 11 yards.
Give credit where credit is due, of course. Manning is a stud, and the definite reason the Broncos can beat the Chiefs — and anybody — on any Sunday. He didn't make a costly mistake and never took a sack. But he's not the kryptonite to the super Chiefs defense. His numbers were good, not great. It's proof he breathes oxygen and needs like the rest of us humans
Manning is no Superman, merely a beatable Batman with lots of toys.
Neither team has time to look ahead to "The Rematch" on Dec. 1 at Arrowhead. The Broncos travel to New England for another Sunday night showdown and the Chiefs host a capable San Diego team. Adjustments will be made on both teams. In two weeks, America will get to watch it all again — likely with the division, home-field advantage and legitimate playoff aspirations on the line.
But before everyone crowns Denver champions of AFC, that "mean Chiefs D" will have another chance to settle the score with Peyton Manning. And this time with the loudest open-air stadium in the world on their side.

Duke led by 18 points late in the first half after a hot-shooting start, but the Pirates didn't let the Blue Devils put together a knockout run. Instead, the Pirates closed the gap to 11 by halftime, and then kept inching closer and closer after halftime.

COMMENTARY
Embiid replaces Traylor in Iona victory
By Blair Sheade
bsheade@kansan.com
Allen Fieldhouse had the wind knocked out of its sail four minutes into the game Tuesday night.
Not because Iona took a three-point lead with 15 minutes left in the first half, but because of foul trouble that forced starting transfer senior center Tarik Black to the bench with two fouls.
The first to replace Black off the bench was sophomore center Jamari Traylor, who had only one board, one assist, one block and one moving screen foul in a matter of two minutes and 30 seconds.
"We need him to get better," coach Bill Self said about Black's performance.
After Trayler turned the ball over on two outlet passes, Self had enough and replaced Trayler with freshman center Joel Embid with 12 and a half minutes left in the first
Once Embid stepped on the floor, the offensive scoring exploded. Sophomore power forward Perry Ellis found more opportunities to succeed without Black on the court.
Ellis scored only two points and had zero rebounds while Black was on the floor. The reason could be that Black took up too much space in the paint for Ellis to find room to make plays. Or it could be that Black's inability to move without the ball caused Ellis not to play close to the basket. Or perhaps Embild was a better combination with Ellis.
Whatever the factor may be, Ellis scored 13 first half points, which was the third time this season Ellis had double-digit first half points, and grabbed four boards without Black.
Ellis finished with 21 points and seven rebounds.
"I expected that Perry could be our leading scorer," Self said.
Ellis wasn't the only beneficiary without Black on the floor — Embiid had his breakthrough game last night and oh boy, did he shine.
The first time Embild touched the ball, he drove to the rim from the top of the key and finished with a finesse finger roll that no one expected from a seven-footer. The crowd went crazy after the play and that was only the start.
Toward the end of the first half, Embiid set up on the low block and posted up for a pro-style hook shot that hit nothing but net. The next play, Embid drove baseline, spun off a defender, then went up and under for the finish. Embiid showed great hands and footwork last night.
"The kid is an NBA player and has a bright future ahead of him," Iona coach Tim Cluess said about Embid.
Embid ended the first half with eight points and four rebounds in 12 minutes.
"It was good to see Joel make some shots because he has been rushed up to this point," Self said. "He has a chance to be a special player without question."
Last night the fans saw a star emerge within Embiid.
In the second half, Embid had the freak athlete play of the game. Junior guard Nadir Tharpe threw up a lap pass to the top right hand corner of the backboard and Embiid came out of thin air and flushed the alley-oop.
Defensively, Embid had a solid performance with two blocks and his long arms caused a lot of problems for the offense.
Bembid finished the game with a career-high 16 points and 13 rebounds.
Self said that there is a chance for him to start by the end of the season.

Father of Joel Embiid sees his son play basketball for the first time
BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Thomas Embiid landed in Kansas City around 5 p.m. Tuesday evening. It was the first time he'd seen the Midwest.
Really, it would be the first of many firsts. He arrived in Lawrence an hour or so later and took his first step in Allen Fieldhouse. He watched the fans pile in and the building fill to capacity. Then he witnessed his son, Joel, score 16 points as No. 2 Kansas defeated Iowa 86-66.
It was the first time Thomas Embiid had ever seen his child play basketball.
"I am very,very impressed," the elder Embiid said afterwards.
"He's a monster in there," Iona coach Tim Cluess said. "I don't think we had the bodies to lean on him. Defensively we lost him, which I don't know how, he's pretty easy to find."
He wasn't alone.
Kansas coaches felt Embold could develop into an assertive center. Not many expected that development to show in his third college game.
The undersized Gaels tried to pester the seven-footer, but Embiid kept going over them. Way over.
Early in the second half, Naadir Tharpe set up behind the 3-point line and tossed a quick lob to Embiid who stationed himself near the paint. He simply had to hop in order to throw it down.
Embiid's father wasn't exactly aware of how far loel had come after playing basketball for just three years. Perhaps for lack of a stronger English vocabulary, Thomas Embiid could only describe his reaction as "surprised."
What's most noticeable is how Embiid changed the game, becoming the big body force Kansas needed after Jeff Withey graduated last year.
Aside from three fouls and four
turnovers, Embid put on a near flawless performance. He shot 7-7 from the field, recorded 13 rebounds and made two blocks. It was Embiid's first collegiate double-double.
I don't think I played well because he was there." Embid said of his father. "Coach always gives me his trust and it's making me more confident."
Embiid wasn't the only Jayhawk to benefit from Iona's lack of size. Perry Ellis recorded his second straight game with at least 20 points (21). Through three games he's averaging 19 points.
"We can't stop him," Embiid said about guarding Ellis in practice. "You would think sometimes he would go off his left shoulder but then he will go off of his right shoulder. He's very hard to guard."
KANSAS

Ellis said his skill set is tough to handle when facing a zone defense like the one lona runs. That zone also allowed the jayhawks to shoot 57 percent from the field and Embiid to tear the Gaels up inside.
Most of Embidid's shots came without much of a challenge. Just a quick pass down low and an easy lay in. Others made it seem like the freshman was unguardable. Like the reverse layup he scored under the basket that rolled off his fingertips and through the rim — all while Embid was looking in the opposite direction. Or when he sidestepped a few defenders while gliding to the rack.
This was a first for Embid too. His father said Joel came to America to improve himself. As far as Kansas coach Bill Self is concerned, there's still a few more firsts to go.
"You guys saw just a small glimpse of Embiid's feet tonight." Self said. "He's just figuring stuff out. I still think we haven't scratched the surface."

FOOTBALL
Pierson suffers head injury, may sit out remaining games
3
Junior wide receiver Tony Pierson, Kansas' top receiver, drops the ball against Texas Tech on Oct. 5. Pierson was concussed during that game and showed signs of concussion in Saturday's victory over West Virginia.
MAX GOODWIN
Junior Tony Pierson is the leading receiver for Kansas, despite missing four games this season. Pierson takes pressure off the Jayhawks' running attack by forcing the defense to contain him on the outside.
mgoodwin@kansan.com
That's why Charlie Weis faces a difficult decision: whether or not to get Pierson back on the field as soon as possible after he left Saturday's victory over West Virginia with signs of concussion for the third time this season.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
"In the age of concussions, somebody has to make a stand," Weis said, as part of an explanation for why Pierson was not listed on the depth chart Tuesday.
"The age of concussions" has reached all levels of the sport. In the last two years, the nation's largest youth football league, Pop Warner, has seen its largest drop in participation since it began keeping track, according to ESPN.
In 2010, the NCAA adopted a policy that requires all programs to have a concussion management plan on file, but there is no established protocol for how medical staff should treat a concussion.
In August, the NFL and players reached a $765 million settlement on a lawsuit over concussion-related brain injuries. There have been tragedies, like the suicide of former NFL linebacker Junior Seau, linked to chronic brain damage from playing football.
Former Kansas fullback Christopher Powell, who played from 1990-1994, recently filed a lawsuit against the NCAA. Powell alleged that the NCAA failed to adequately protect athletes from head trauma.
"I think that because of some of the tragedies that have occurred, you know, players killing themselves and things like that, it's going to head in the direction that when a guy goes out with a concussion it's going to be long periods before they return." Weis said.
For Tony Pierson, the issue is not just that he is recovering from a concussion, but that he has already returned twice from concussion symptoms and has then had to leave the game once again.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website for the USA Football's Heads Up campaign for concussion awareness in the sports says that "If an athlete has a concussion, his brain needs time to heal. A repeat concussion occurs before the brain recovers from the first — usually within a short time
period (hours, days, weeks) can slow recovery or increase the chances for long-term problems. In rare cases, repeat concussions can result in brain swelling or permanent brain damage."
Weis knows that having Pierson on the field is best for the team, but it could be risking his long-term health.
"The best thing for Tony's health, therefore the right thing to do, is instead of coming out and putting him down on the depth chart ... at
Weis said that as a coach, he is in a position to take steps toward caution.
the end of the day, the right thing is for me and the training staff to sit there and say, "Tony, you might be able to go, but you're sitting down the next two weeks. We're going to make sure this head of yours clears up." Weis said.
So Pierson will not likely be seen on the field for the final games of the season against Iowa State and Kansas State. That will give him
at least three months to recover before taking the field again for spring practices.
1
"If we really want to practice what we preach, instead of being hypocritical, I think that we have to be the trendsetters." Weis said. "It's tough now, you're losing football games and one of your best players. Maybe he can go, maybe he can't go, but really for what? What do you gain and at what risk?"

Kansan apologizes for fabrication
By Trevor Graff
tgraff@kansan.com
On Tuesday, we learned that an opinion column published on Nov. 4 written by staff opinion columnist Bryenn Bierwirth contained information that was repurposed from a Feb.1. 2012,column published in The Guardian. Bierwirth is also an account executive on the Kansan's advertising staff.
The Kansan column was recently mentioned in a USA Today College story.
After reading the USA Today story, a concerned journalism graduate brought the similarities in the two columns to my attention. I immediately began investigating the reporting methods used in this and other columns written by Bierwirth to determine the extent of the problem.
The methods used in writing this column do not meet the reporting standards that we teach and expect at the Kansan. The Kansan accepts only fact-based reporting, the pursuit of truth in accurate storytelling and a constant standard of integrity in both news and editorial content.
The repurposed content came from the article "Top Five Regrets of the Dying," which The Guardian published on Feb. 1, 2012. The content was not copied verbatim, but rather was borrowed and paraphrased, in a manner that online searches could not discover during our editing process.
This situation does not meet our standards and looking forward, we will be reevaluating the process that allowed this to publish and taking a much deeper look at editorial content.
While this is an embarrassing situation, the best way to resolve this issue is to disclose it with you, our readers. The Kansan has been publishing since 1904, and we embrace the tradition of independent news organizations of correcting our own mistakes. We are holding ourselves to the same standard that we hold others in reporting the news.
To clarify, the Kansan is editorially independent from the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications. We benefit from the mentorship and guidance of the journalism faculty, but the decision-making process in this case was handled entirely by me as the editor of the newspaper. The paper is and will continue to be operated independently of the school of journalism.
Journalism that does not abide by these standards is unacceptable. The Kansan provides a beginning for journalists of all callings and with that comes the power and responsibility to provide a sound, fundamental start in a hands-on environment.
After discussing the situation, Bierwirth submitted his resignation from his advertising and news staff positions with the Kansan.
I would like to take this opportunity to personally apologize to our readers. Looking forward, the Kansan will continue to work to ensure accuracy, the pursuit of truth and the integrity of our content for our audience.

Student Senate passes two election reforms
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
104
Student Senate met last night to discuss and vote on two more election reform bills, but before getting down to business, Senate welcomed a guest speaker from the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
REFLECTION
Marcus Tetewiler addresses the assembly during a Senate meeting Wednesday night. The Senate passed two election reforms:
Cody Charles, the associate director of OMA, focused his speech on conversations, specifically difficult conversations he has had with students.
MEETING WITH OTHER BIG 12 SENATES
FRANK WFIRCH/KANSAN
After sharing several stories, he asked senators: "Are you having those dynamic moments, those dynamic conversations? Do you know the people you are representing?"
"I give my time for dynamic conversations," Charles said.
Moving from a point of reflection,
officers gave their biweekly reports to the senate.
Executive staff visited Texas Christian University last weekend to meet with other executive staffs from all the Big 12 schools.
ELECTION REFORM:
COALITIONS AND CAUCUS
This bill establishes a caucus system for coalitions to choose their presidential and vice presidential candidates, senators and how they want to be listed on the ballot.
The bill, which can be viewed online at Kansan.com, passed with one amendment.
ELECTION REFORM:
GENERAL REGULATIONS
Tyler Childress, one of the authors of the bill and senate chief
of staff, said the bill's purpose is to outline the powers of the elections commission to ensure coalitions follow election rules.
"We want to make sure it's very clear that the elections commission
is in charge of this code and they can hold candidates and coalitions accountable." Childress said.
The bill passed and can be viewed, in full, online.
Full senate will review the final installment of election reform at the next meeting. That bill will focus on freshman elections, which follow a different format and process than general elections.

RESEARCH
Students disagree with online alcohol ad study
KATIE MCBRIDE
kmcbride@kansan.com
While companies can target their advertisements toward a younger audience by utilizing online technology such as social media, a recent study says that these online ads may lead to an increased "culture of intoxication" among young people.
The study, which analyzed how 18- to 25-year-olds reacted to online alcohol advertising, was co-authored by Christine Griffin, a professor of social psychology at the University of Bath. She believes it's necessary to confront the types of messages promoted by alcohol
advertising targeted towards young people.
She says that because these ads make drinking "about fun, pleasure and socializing," young people might be encouraged to drink at an extreme or dangerously intoxicated level. To combat these unsafe drinking behaviors, she suggests the development of more regulations for online alcohol marketing aimed at this age group.
Michael Azbel, a freshman from Overland Park, agrees that there is a prevalent belief among college students that alcohol is included in the "college culture," but said that he doesn't necessarily see online alcohol advertising as having a large effect on this belief.
He said other than a few ads on
"Our friends affect how we think, even by just planting a little idea."

facebook and YouTube, he
periously hasn't come across many
alcohol advertisements while using social media sites.
Rather, he said he's observed that young people tend to be more affected by what their peers are doing than by advertisements.
"Our friends affect how we think, even by just planting a little idea." Azbel said. "Social media can be an advertisement in itself for drinking. It doesn't even have to be a company or specific product; it can just be drinking itself."
Noelle Nelson, an assistant professor of marketing in the KU School of Business, said that advertisements from companies and the influence of peers can sometimes become indistinguishable
"It's very possible that young people do not distinguish social media content from advertisements," Nelson said. "If young people don't see a difference between alcohol ads and social media content, they may misconstrue the content as being endorsed by their peer group."
Both of these factors may have an influence on students' ideas about alcohol and drinking, said Vanessa Newton.

Astronomy lab nixed second consecutive semester
KYLE PAPPAS
kpappas@kanan.com
For the second semester in a row, the University will not be offering an astronomy lab to fulfill students' general education lab requirement. Students looking for an alternative to the biology or chemistry lab will once again have to look elsewhere to satisfy their degree stipulations.
Barbara Anthony-Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy, explained that there were many factors that weighed into the decision to not offer the lab again.
Since weather conditions can heavily affect astronomers' views
"We haven't had a facility of our own or schedule that we can control for the last 12 years," said Anthony-Twarog. "We've been using the top level of Memorial Stadium when we're able to."
on celestial objects, having a proper location and scheduled time slot to view can be crucial.
"It's hard enough to predict at 3 p.m. or 4 p.m., if you will be able to go outside to use the telescopes," said Anthony-Twarog. "Athletics were very nice to let us use their space, but those facilities just aren't meant for us."
"I have a handful of friends that really struggled with or even had to retake the biology lab," said Katie Zyskowski, a sophomore from Minneapolis. "I think they should keep as many options for alternative labs as possible."
The dissipation of the lab affects students looking for a non-traditional lab to fulfill their general education requirements.
The lab last had access to proper facilities in 2001, when it was held in Lindlev Hall.
"We wouldn't restart it in the way that it was previously offered," she said. "It's become increasingly difficult to have a nighttime telescope class on campus, and there no short-term plans for a telescope facility that can actually be controlled."
Anthony-Twarog said if the lab were to return in the future, it wouldn't happen without any changes.
Students who are looking to gain hands-on experience with telescopes can still do so by attending the Astronomy Associates of Lawrence's telescope open house, which takes place at Prairie Park once each month. For more information on specific times and dates, checkout the AAL website.

Winter increases threat of carbon monoxide
HEALTH
ASHLEIGH TIDWELL
afidwell@kansan.com
When the cold creeps in with the changing seasons, students turn on their furnaces without any hesitation. But the Kansas Department of Health and Environment wants Kansans to be aware of the invisible danger that comes with heating homes: carbon monoxide.
According to a news release from the KDHE and Safe Kids Kansas, the use of fuel burning appliances in the home leads to dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide.
The CDC describes carbon monoxide as a colorless, odorless gas that can cause sudden illness or death. It is a major concern during the winter months because the use of fuel-burning ovens, furnaces, space heaters, generators and fireplaces that can emit the gas unbeknownst to the user. Prolonged
Students should be aware of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and should call 911 immediately if they think there may be a carbon monoxide leak in their home.
exposure can cause a person to become ill and possibly lose consciousness, which can eventually lead to death from the gas.
Angela German, program director of the Primary Care Office of the KDHE, said that it's important for students to know which appliances can emit carbon monoxide and take appropriate measures to stop the leaks.
"The main thing is ventilation," German said. "You need to make sure all your fuel-burning appliances are properly ventilated."
This is especially important for students living in older homes, as these homes are more likely to have fuel-burning appliances. German
says that students worried about their appliances should contact their landlords to make sure everything is up to code.
SYMPTOMS INCLUDE:
- headache
- dizziness
- weakness
- nausea
- vomiting
- chest pain
- confusion
"At the very least students should install a CO [carbon monoxide] detector." German said.
Carbon monoxide detectors are available at local hardware stores and stores like Walmart and Target for roughly $20.
HOW TO PREVENT CO POISONING
Edited by Jessica Mitchell
Prevent CO buildup in the first place - make sure heating appliances are in good working order and use only in well-ventilated areas.
Can't run a car engine in the garage, even with the garage door open. If you need to warm up your vehicle, move it outside first.
Install a CO alarm outside every sleeping area, on every level of your home and at least 15 feet away from every fuel-burning appliance.
each month, check the batteries on your CO alarms at the same time - and replace the batteries twice a year.
When you check your smoke alarm batteries
Never use an oven to heat your home.
Portable generators must be used outside for proper ventilation. They cannot be used indoors or inside of a garage.
Have all gas, oil or coal burning appliances inspected by a technician every year to ensure they are working correctly and are properly ventilated.

Airing of grievances: the Allen Fieldhouse edition
Today we take a brief thiatus from literature and focus on another topic I'm passionate about: KU basketball games. Allen Fieldhouse is the greatest sports venue without a doubt, what sets it apart is the combination of tradition and passion from students and alumni who together create an electric environment. This season has been more hyped than any other I've experienced in my time here since Fall 2010, judging by the incredible turnout at lotteries and the Late Night crowd control snauf. So far this season everything has been great, but I think we can do better. There have been a number of things going on in the student section that I believe should be eliminated or improved upon. Please consider the following:

DON'T "WHOO" DURING THE ROCK CHALK CHANT
yelling like Neanderthals. I'll also remind you that Bill Self said he hates this practice; what more convincing do you need?
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
We've made some significant progress in the last year or two to eliminate the "whoo." It sounds tacky and takes away from the ominous, haunting mood of the original, the sounding of a death knell for the other team. While I'm on the topic, start the chant at around 2:00 if we have a significant lead. We wait until sub-1:00 at the lona game when we were up by 20 or so.
Kansas fans cheer on the men's basketball team during the lona game on Tuesday in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks defeated the Gaels 86-66.
DON'T YELL "HOME OF THE CHIEFS"
I love the Chiefs as much as the next guy (9-1 baby), but they don't belong in our country's national anthem. This is only marginally acceptable to do when you're in Arrowhead. Let's be classy and sing it the way Francis Scott Key wrote it instead of
DO FREE THROW
DISTRACTIONS CORRECTLY
Aside from the "pinwheel fists" one, the goal of the other two is to build up anticipation to a sudden movement right before the player shoots. According to Nature.com, science supports the hypothesis that uniform background motion can influence the hand motion of an observer. Random motion can be filtered out, while sudden uniform motion has an effect. The take-away: don't wave your arms around, instead hold one direction and snap to the other right before the shot; and don't jump up randomly, instead jump up right before the shot. This is how I learned the distractions and how they should be done.
minimal effort on your own part
STAND UP!
If you're in the student section, the only time you should sit down after the game starts is at half time. No exceptions. It's tradition. Nothing says feeble and disinterested like a bunch of people sitting down as soon as a timeout is called. Show the players you care about the effort they're putting forth by putting forth some
WATCH THE GAME
(5a) A KU basketball game is a perfect place to live in the moment. I get it, everyone and their mom has a hungry Instagram account, but hold off on it until play stops. You could be missing the dunk of the year while you send off a text. (5b) Don't leave the game early. This comment is more pertinent to GAers, but it needs to be said nonetheless. (5c) Don't hold up your poster while the clock is running; you're obstructing the views of others. I love a cleverly crafted post, but save them for timeouts and other
LEARN THE CLAP AND THE ALMA MATER
clock stoppages—that's when the cameras might find you anyway.
Regarding the clap: I was a freshman once too; I understand that the rhythm is difficult. We all mess it up sometimes. But please, please, PLEASE make an effort to listen to the band and DON'T speed up the tempo! That's why we get off and it sounds like a mess. Pedant alert—the word "towards" is not in the alma mater. It's "toward". Same with "onward". Fun fact: the s-versions are British English. You wouldn't write "colour" would you? There's
an awesome page (http://www.
ku.edu/about/t traditions/songs/)
that has the alma mater and clap
and examples. So give it a listen if
you're shaky on it!
I have listed these issues roughly according to their relative importance. If none of these things happen, Allen Fieldhouse will be pretty awesome, but I think making these changes would propel the quality of our support for the team to unprecedented levels. Rock Chalk!
EDUCATION

Hands-on learning takes priority over irrelevant classes
School has, and always will be, a huge part of everyone's lives. We spend half of our days at school, and when we're not at school, we either thinking about school, preparing for school or trying to find the quickest, easiest way to be done with it. I'll be the first to admit that school is not easy, especially for a college student. However, none of those are what makes me lose my motivation to go.
To me, it seems as though over half of what we learn has nothing to do with our majors or future plans. For instance, why did I have to take multiple math classes as a speech pathology major? I guarantee you if I went and shadowed a speech pathologist tomorrow, he or she wouldn't be calculating how to find "x" as a part of their daily routine. I think
By Molly Smith msmith@kansan.com
students would learn more in a single day shadowing a professional in their field than they would in certain college courses, which are irrelevant to what they really need to know.
Even classes that are specifically dedicated to my major seem to be the exact opposite. I'm currently in a required "physics of speech" class, for instance. First of all, is that even a thing? Secondly, I don't care about the frequency of a wavelength. Let's be honest, no one does. We spend all our time miserably studying at the library, drowning ourselves in coffee and pointless knowledge with no real-world application
It even makes me wonder what
one reasoning behind all of this is. I certainly think money has something to do with it. College is a business. Every time I turn around, more money is being sucked from my wallet and my parent's wallet. One day it's a parking ticket, the next it's a required book that I "needed" for class, and don't forget those lovely sorority fines for your bow being crooked during recruitment.
A college degree isn't even a guarantee of success. I know people who didn't go to college, and they're some of the most successful people I know and my biggest role models. I think the world should revolve around hard work and dedication, not who can figure out those tricky true/false questions about the anatomy of a bug.
Employers want more than good
grades—they want experience and well roundedness. How are we supposed to fulfill these expectations when we're constantly overwhelmed with schoolwork, leaving no time for anything else?
leaving no time for anything else. In the past, I've done some shadowing, and not only did I gain knowledge of a professional field, but I also received a lot of advice and was put into many real life situations that one would face as a speech pathologist. Hands-on learning helps one figure out if they even want to put all their energy into a certain major. If you don't like what you observe, then you shouldn't continue with the schooling for it, but how are you supposed to figure that out in the classroom? For instance, with pathologists, there is a big difference when working with children and working with the elderly. When
I shadowed at a nursing home, it helped me realize that I wanted to work with kids for the rest of my life. In my opinion, hands-on learning is what's putting me ahead of the people spending their days in Anschutz with their nose buried in a history book.
There's really nothing we can do as students, because that's just the way the system works. I guess it felt good to get this off my chest, but all I can do is continue trudging my rear end down to the library and hoping that somewhere along the way I'll figure out how to be a speech pathologist. Wish me luck.

VIDEO GAMES
Next generation of gaming console technology arrives
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
TOM DEHART
tdehart@kansan.com
It has been seven years since the release of the Playstation 3 and eight years since the release of the Xbox 360. Now it is finally time for the release of the next-generation gaming consoles, the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One. With the PS4 released on Nov. 15, and the Xbox One to be released on Friday, it is time to decide what system provides the better, and more suitable features to a gamer's individual liking.
PLAYSTATION 4
Lawrence retailers started carrying the PS4 last week and there are a handful of students who already have their hands on the future of video games. As Sony's follow-up to the Playstation 3, the system now provides gamers with a 8-core x86-10 AMD Jaguar CPU processor for better graphics and gameplay than its predecessor, as well as a sufficient list of 16 games that were available at its launch.
One University student stood in line at the GameStop on 33rd and Iowa Street, and discussed why he chose to get the PS4 over the Xbox One, claiming that both systems will be satisfactory for any gamer, no matter what system they choose to get.
"They're both great systems, and the Playstation 4 was easier to get and not have to worry about the stress of trying to find an Xbox over the holidays when everyone is fighting to get one," said Mitchell Mollica, a sophomore from Colorado Springs, Colo. "And the chance came up to get a PS4 so I hopped on it."
One University student is expecting an Xbox One on its release date, and said that he is pleased with his choice in purchasing the Xbox One over the PS4.
"I'm getting the Xbox One because I've enjoyed the Xbox 360 and because Xbox has always been better than Playstation," said Michael Esry, a senior from Lee's Summit, Mo. "Their online network is more reliable, and they have a more widespread option of game types like Halo, which is a top first-person shooter—Battlefield has always been good on it. They run a lot more sports games, just as far as soccer, racing and basketball go."
XBOX ONE
But what about Microsoft's contribution to next-generation gaming? Running for a price of $100 more, the Xbox One comes equipped with its own camera known as Kinect alongside voice commands to navigate quickly through apps, launch games, even Skype with a friend from his or her living room. Equipped with an 8-core AMD custom Microsoft CPU the Xbox One will deliver graphics that are around the same caliber as the PS4.
Xbox One has an array of 25 games that are available for play.
With next-generation consoles, the biggest difference between these consoles and the previous generation is the graphics. Mollica believes that the PS4 will have better graphics because it is rumored that the Xbox One will be more entertainment-oriented and focus on features other than gaming, whereas the PS4 is regarded more as a console for just gaming.
CONSOLE COMPARISON
Edited by Ashleigh Tidwell
PS4
Another University student says that he has slowly paid for the prices of both the Xbox One and the PS4, but is still a little apprehensive towards some of the decisions that Microsoft has made with their Xbox One.
"I am an Xbox guy, I always have been," said Adam Phillips, a sophomore from Lawrence. "But I have to admit that Sony has the better system this time around. They just had longer to prepare. Xbox is still working out the kinks, and I'm still a little apprehensive about what this first wave of Xbox Ones is going to be like."

Graduate student's recital explores music through time
MEGHAN KETCHAM
mketcham@kansan.com
Musical time travel is Kaitlin Fahy's speciality. This Saturday, her clarinet recital will take the audience from pieces heard in early 20th century France to works written by contemporary composers. Fahy uses these pieces to demonstrate how music is still relatable even through the passing of time. The stories told in each composition reflect Fahy's creative passion for performance.
"The image behind the piece is that of a grouchy dog snarling at people passing by," Fahy said. Fahy's professor, Dr. Stephanie Zelmink, said she is confident in Fahy's abilities and that words
Fahy, a second-year clarinet graduate student, will perform four difficult clarinet pieces. The pieces are from a variety of time periods. One, named "Rrowzet," was written by Fahy's professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Eric Mandat.
could not express how much of a hard worker she believed Fahy to be.
"She's extremely smart and super talented," Zelinick said. "She's a very engaging young woman who can really express these masterpieces of the past. It's super impressive. I feel fortunate to be able to be with her on this journey."
Fahy said her favorite part about studying and playing the clarinet is the creative process as well as the performance itself.
"I really love performing, and even though it scares me, it gives me that edge," Fahy said. "That's what I like about music so much. It's different every time you do it, and you get to really make something every day. That's what I think is so great. I want to be really creative, and it's a creative process every time you make music."
Zelnick was impressed by Fahy's song selection and the research she conducted to make each piece sound as the composer intended during the time period.
"Each of these composers was really popular in their time," Zelnick said. "These pieces are very invocative and imaginative and what it meant to be expressive during that time. It's really exciting to see her express all of these different tite periods and genres."
In addition to learning the pieces, Fahy researched the composer as well as the time period in which the works were written.
After graduation, Fahy plans to pursue a doctorate.
"By the time I leave here, I want to feel like a very grounded musician," Fahy said. "I want to feel like I can walk into any performance situation, and have that good sound no matter what."
Fahy's performance is just one in the KU School of Music Student Recital Series, and tickets are free. The performance will be held in Swarthout Recital Hall this Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Basil Leaf Cafe, a local Italian restaurant formerly located in a 6th Street gas station, recently found a new home at 616 W. 9th St. Owner Brad Walters said business has quadrupled since the restaurant moved.

Italian restaurant finds new home outside of gas station
CASSIDY RITTER critter@kansan.com
At the end of September, a small Italian restaurant Basil Leaf Cafe outgrew their location inside of a gas station on 6th Street and moved to 616 W. 9th St.
"After a year and a half at the gas station we just knew we needed something bigger," Walters said. "We knew that we could handle the business and we could handle it on the financial end, so I started researching spaces."
Chef and owner Brad "Walt" Walters said that he had been looking to relocate for two years.
family and friends. The restaurant was filled with repurposed barn wood from Walters' father's central Kansas barn, giving Basil Leaf Cafe a rustic look.
A full renovation of the new space began in late May with the help of
"The biggest thing was just going back to dealing with front of house—hiring front of house, getting front house manager, liquor license, bar, and hiring a wait staff," Walters says. "We essentially tripled our employees. We went from five employees to 15 to 20 at this point."
In addition to moving, Walters also changed the menu. He added six entrees, seven to eight appetizers, and four to five salads to the menu.
Walters says he plans to continue
modifying the menu and wants to introduce seasonal menus. 'This upcoming spring and summer, Walters will work with local farmers, including Walters' own family farm, to buy produce for the restaurant.
Business for Basil Leaf Cafe has quadrupled since the relocation, but the changes won't stop.
"We are kind of trying to transition from the gas station crowd and what we were doing there and slowly easing into what I want to do with our food in the end which is upscale comfort food," Walters says.
Walters says he could use even more room, but is ultimately happy about the increase in business.

I mean we're comfortable, but the amount of business we are pushing out of this small space is a struggle. It's a struggle to keep up with the business, which I can't complain about in any way whatsoever."

While the capacity for the shelter sits at 125, Henderson is trying to raise the capacity number to whatever the city of Lawrence will allow for the upcoming winter. The shelter has also taken many steps to ensure that all of the occupants are well fed and clothed. They provide turkey dinners and winter clothing drives sponsored by both students from the University and church participants including the Trinity Lutheran Church.
According to Henderson the University has contributed many donations to the Shelter but he also said that homelessness is a complex issue in the community that should be taken seriously and should be a communal effort to help eradicate.

A forum sponsored by the Coalition for Homeless Concerns was held at Trinity Lutheran Church on Nov. 9 to discuss the drying of federal funds. The Coalition is a group that has been working with the Lawrence Community Shelter for over a decade to provide shelter for the homeless in Lawrence. One of the primary speakers at the forum was Loring Henderson, the director of the Lawrence Community Shelter.
Funding for Section 8 housing, a part of the federal Housing Act of 1937 that provides a rental assistance program for low-income families and families in crisis, has been cut by 50 percent in the past two years, placing additional stress on the availability of housing for citizens in poverty.

With recent federal cuts, homelessness is becoming an increasing issue within the Lawrence community. As winter approaches the danger of the elements could be a great health risk and shelters are likely to exceed capacity.

Death penalty changes may lead to more executions
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Once one of the most active death penalty states in the U.S., Missouri carried out its first execution in nearly three years Wednesday after turning to a compounding pharmacy to make the drug it needs for lethal injections.
The state's success in court over its new execution method could lead to Missouri carrying out more death sentences. Although the Democratic governor and attorney general both support the death penalty, there have been few death sentences carried out in recent years and legal wrangling over execution procedures.
"The courts at this point have given Missouri a green light to proceed with executions that are scheduled," said Peter Joy, a law professor at Washington University in St. Louis. "And barring either specific appeals related to some of the planned executions that may deal with issues unrelated to the execution protocol or courts revisiting the issue of the execution protocol that is now being used, basically there's green light and the door is open, and I anticipate more executions."
The execution of Joseph Franklin, a white supremacist responsible for
slayings throughout the country, was the first lethal injection carried out in Missouri since 2011 and just the third since 2009. Missouri has another execution scheduled for December, which would make this the first year since 2005 that the state has carried out multiple death sentences. The attorney general's office has asked the Missouri Supreme Court to set execution dates for 17 others, with some requests dating back to 2006.
In a May 2012 motion to the Missouri Supreme Court, the attorney general's office wrote that "unless this court sets an execution date after a capital murder defendant's legal process is exhausted, the people of Missouri are without legal remedy."
tranklin's execution went forward after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an appeals court's decision overturning two stays granted Tuesday evening by federal district court judges. It was the first time Missouri has used the single drug pentobarbital for an execution, and Franklin's lawyers had raised that as an issue in one of his appeals.
Like other states, Missouri had a hard time obtaining drugs used in executions when drug-makers stopped selling them to prisons. Last year, Missouri announced a plan to use propofol, but it backed
off that after an outcry from medical professionals concerned that supplies of the drug would dwindle if the European Union followed through on its threat to limit exports.
Missouri then turned to a compounding pharmacy to make pentobarbital, something states such as Texas also have done to carry out lethal injections. Few details have been made public about the compounding pharmacy Missouri is using because state law provides privacy for parties associated with executions.
Franklin was the 69th person executed in Missouri since it reinstated the death penalty. That's the fifth most in the U.S., behind Texas, Virginia, Oklahoma and Florida, according to figures from the Death Penalty Informa-

tion Center. Since 1989, there have been seven years without an execution in Missouri — all but one within the past decade. About 50 people in Missouri are currently on death row.
Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union says it has litigated over Missouri's execution protocol and that will continue.
"The shroud of secrecy surrounding the state's execution process leads us to question its legitimacy," said Jeffrey A. Mittman, executive director for the ACU of Missouri.
The next execution is scheduled for Dec. 11. Allen Nicklasson is

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, center, signs the state's Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act into law Wednesday in Chicago.
Illinois governor signs to legalize gay marriage
CHICAGO — Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation Wednesday allowing same-sex weddings starting this summer, making President Barack Obama's home state the 16th overall — and largest in the nation's heartland — to legalize gay marriage.
The festivities at the University of Illinois at Chicago featured a family-friendly crowd, musical performances and a stage lined with American, Illinois and rainbow flags.
"We understand in our state that part of our unfinished business is to help other states in the United States of America achieve marriage equality." Quinn said before he signed the bill on a desk once used by President Abraham Lincoln. He said part of that mission was to ensure that "love is not relegated to a second class status to any citizen in our country."
References to freedom, equality, fairness and Lincoln — the desk was where he penned his 1861 inaugural address — were peppered throughout the event. In attendance were top elected officials, including Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Organizers estimated roughly 2,300 attended, including activists and members of the public.
ASSOCIATED PREFC
Illinois, where Democrats lead both legislative chambers and the governor's office, legalized civ-
ll unions in 2011, but the road to same-sex marriage was bumpy.
When 2013 began advocates hoped Illinois would've been the 10th state, but watched as other states passed it. Gay marriage is allowed in Washington D.C., and 15 other states; Hawaii's governor signed a measure last week.
Even with support from top business leaders, unions and some Republican, several lawmakers were resistant to the idea. That included some Democrats in more conservative downstate Illinois and some Chicago-area lawmakers.
The measure was fought hard by some of the state's most well-recognized religious figures, including Cardinal Francis George of the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Rev. James Meeks, a former state senator who runs a politically-influential mage church in Chicago. Meeks was part of a coalition of black pastors who said marriage should remain between a man and woman and sponsored robocalls in several legislative districts and on the airwaves. The opposition placed black lawmakers in the House in a spotlight and several evaded public inquiries on the matter for months.
Although Illinois once appeared poised to become the first Midwestern state to approve gay marriage in the Legislature, Minnesota did it sooner and started holding its first same-sex weddings over the summer. Iowa allows gay marriages too because of a court ruling, not a legislative vote.

City hopes donations will help recoup $105K cost of 'Batkid'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — The city of San Francisco spent $105,000 in public funds to honor a 5-year-old boy with leukemia who captivated the nation with his exploits as "Batkid," and it hopes to recoup the money through private donations, the mayor's spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Most of the money went toward renting a sound system, video screens and other equipment at the last minute to accommodate the surprisingly large crowds that gathered outside City Hall to watch capred cruader Miles Scott receive a chocolate key to the city, said Christine Falvey, communications director for Mayor Ed Lee.
"What started out as a few hundred people at most on the steps of City Hall ... grew into what would obviously attract a 20,000-plus crowd," Falvey said. "They weren't going to see anything the way we

originally had it set up."
Miles, who lives in Tulelake in far Northern California, was able to fulfill his wish to be his favorite superhero last week when the Make-A-Wish Foundation arranged to have him driven about San Francisco in a Lamborghini Batmobile as he handled make-believe capers.
The fantasy included a police escort and an adult Batman impersonator who accompanied the costumed Batkid as he rescued a damsel in distress from cable car tracks, captured the Riddler as he robbed a bank, and saved the San Francisco Giants mascot from the Penguin's clutches.
The elaborate masquerade and feel-good nature of the event made Miles a social media darling. But a city lawmaker and some residents asked whether it was appropriate for the city to subsidize a celebration for one child.
Neither the police nor public works departments incurred extra expenses from Friday's daylong event, which was staffed with officers and maintenance workers on their regular shifts, Falvey said.
Waiting for Miles the BatKid and Wondering how many 1000s of SF
kids living off SNAP/FoodStamps could have been fed from the $$," Supervisor Eric Mar wrote on Instagram. After Miles' supporters denounced the comment, Mar issued a statement that he simply was seeking "similar amounts of love, compassion and empathy for children living every day in dire circumstances."
Falvey said the costs would have been even higher if vendors had not offered discounts or donated services. The San Francisco chapter of Make-a-Wish hopes to reimburse the city for what was spent through private donations, she said.

Nuts have long been called heart healthy, and the study is the largest ever done on whether eating them affects mortality.
DALLAS — Help yourself to some nuts this holiday season: Regular nut eaters were less likely to die of cancer or heart disease — in fact, were less likely to die of any cause — during a 30-year Harvard study.

Researchers tracked 119,000 men and women and found that those who ate nuts roughly every day were 20 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who never ate nuts. Eating nuts less often also appeared to lower the
The benefits were seen from peanuts as well as from pistachios, almonds, walnuts and other tree nuts. The researchers did not look at how the nuts were prepared — oiled or salted, raw or roasted.
A bonus: Nut eaters stayed slimmer.
"There's a general perception that if you eat more nuts you're going to get fat. Our results show the opposite," said Dr. Ying Bao of Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Observational studies like this one can't prove cause and effect, only suggest a connection. Research on diets is especially tough, because it can be difficult to single out the effects of any one food.

Researchers don't know why nuts may boost health. It could be that their unsaturated fatty acids, minerals and other nutrients lower cholesterol and inflammation and reduce other problems, as earlier studies seemed to show.

The Harvard group has long been known for solid science on diets. Its findings build on a major study earlier this year — a rigorous experiment that found a Mediterranean-style diet supplemented with nuts cuts the chance of heart-related problems, especially strokes, in older people at high risk of them.
"Sometimes when you eat nuts you eat less of something else like potato chips," so the benefit may come from avoiding an unhealthy
In 2003, the Food and Drug Administration said a fistful of nuts a day as part of a low-fat diet may reduce the risk of heart disease. The heart association recommends four servings of unsalted, uncoiled nuts a week and warns against eating too many, since they are dense in calories.
Many previous studies tie nut consumption to lower risks of heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer and other maladies.
The new research combines two studies that started in the 1980s on 76,464 female nurses and 42,498 male health professionals. They filled out surveys on food and lifestyle habits every two to four years, including how often they ate a serving (1 ounce) of nuts.
Study participants who often ate nuts were healthier — they weighed less, exercised more and were less likely to smoke, among other things. After taking these and other things into account, researchers still saw a strong benefit from nuts.

13907564286
WICHITA — A former nursing student filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against two community colleges in Kansas over an adverse and secret clinical reference she contends destroyed her educational and employment opportunities.
Rebecca A. Lemon sued Coffeville Community College and a nursing program instructor for defamation. Her lawsuit also claims the college falsely assured her when she enrolled that its nursing program would be accredited.
Lemon is also seeking a court order requiring Labette Community College and its nursing director to disclose the identity of the person whose reference was the basis of her denial to that school's
nursing program. She wants copies of her educational records, including a copy of the adverse recommendation, and a court order forcing the college to admit her into its nursing program.
The colleges and the two employees named as defendants did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. Lemon's attorney, Ray Simmons, declined to comment on the filing.
in the complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Wichita, Lemon contends she graduated in December 2012 from the Coffeyville program with a 4.0 grade point average in the core nursing courses and a 3.92 overall grade point average. She was certified as a licensed practical nurse the month later by the Kansas Board of Nursing.
Lemon was accepted into Coffeville's resident nursing program, but instead wanted to go to an accredited school.
according to the lawsuit. She took pre-requisite classes at Labette Community College in order to enter its accredited resident nursing program.

FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
For a team that won just one game two seasons ago, the Towson Tigers are rising quickly.
Towson (3-1) travels to Allen Fieldhouse to face the No. 2 Jayhawks at 7 p.m. on Friday night. After a miserable 1-31 season in 2011-12, the Tigers improved their record to a promising 18-13 last season.
"Who would have thought they would be this good when we scheduled this game two years ago?" coach Bill Self said.
Their bounce back campaign has carried over to this year. Last Tuesday, they knocked off a Temple team that made the Round of 32 at the NCAA Tournament last season.
The game stars two forwards who won Player of the Week in their respective conferences last week. Perry Ellis was named one of two Big 12 Players of the Week after his 24-point outing against Duke at the Champion's Classic. He backed that up with 21 points on lona on Tuesday. The sophomore leads the team averaging 19 points a game and has made 21 of his 29 shot attempts. He is also tied with Joel Embid for the team lead with eight rebounds per night.
A likely candidate to guard Ellis will be Towson senior forward Jerrelle Benimon, the Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Week.
Benimon, the CAA preseason player of the year, has been at the top of his game for the Tigers. After averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds his junior year, Benimon came out of the gate strong and has averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds in his last three games. That included a monster performance in the upset over Temple.
where Benimon recorded 32 points and 10 rebounds.
Benimon led Towson to its most successful season in the CAA a year ago—a big reason for the dramatic turnaround. The Tigers won a school-record 13 conference games and the squad's second-place finish
was the best in the program's history.
Coaches and media have taken note as they selected Towson to finish first in the CAA this season. Self knows the team won't be a pushover.
"Next to Duke, this will be the
best team we have played, so we have to come with a different, more aggressive mindset," Self said.
Unlike Kansas, the Tigers bring back a majority of their contributors from last season as they return four starters. These players combined to average 47 of the team's
68-point average last season.
While trending upward, Towson took a hit on Sunday as it fell on the road 78-44 to the Villanova Wildcats. Kansas (3-0) shrugged off a sloppy first half to defeat Iona 86-66 on Tuesday to remain undefeated.
The last time the two teams met, the Jayhawks defeated the Tigers 100-54 at Allen Fieldhouse during Towson's one-victory season two years ago. Don't expect a similar game on Friday.

Kansas makes program history, becomes second in conference
Junior right side hitter Chelsea Albers set the tone in the first set with six kills and two blocks.
"Chelsea played awesome," red shirt senior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc said. "This was her best match of the year. She was connecting well with Erin [McNorton] so we utilized that and Chelsea was our main attacker."

for the first time in program history. Albers filled that role last night, and head coach Ray Bechard said that Albers was big time.
"She had epic swings and epic kills with only one error," Bechard said. "She got going and kept us in it, and took so many big swings for us. I'm very proud of her and
The Jayhawks have three more matches left, beginning with the Texas Tech Raider on Saturday at the Horejsi Athletic Center at 1 p.m.
Not every aspect of the match was pretty last night. Junior outside hitter Sara McClinton didn't start the match well, hitting three kills on 15 attempts, four errors and a season low -0.67 hitting percentage.
"I personally wanted to beat them with every ounce of my being," said Albers, who ended the night with the team-high 14 kills. "They're a very good school and I haven't beat them at their home since I came to KU. This win was much needed and it feels really good."
"I was very excited, this was the year to do it," Jarmoc said. "I'm super proud of my team and it was a team effort for sure."
"Dockery came in and picked us up and Sara was really happy Dockery played well," Bechard said. "That's what good teams can do, rely on their bench. We needed someone to come in and pick us up and Dockery did that for sure."
In the middle of the second set, Bechard benched McClinton for sophomore outside hitter Tiana Dockery, who finished the game and ended the match with five kills on 13 attempts and only one error.
"She couldn't quite get it going and she knew it." Bechard said.
The Jayhawks excitement of the night was the ability to tie the season series against the Cyclones after they beat Kansas in Lawrence on Oct. 23, and Kansas improved their road record to 10-2. Every player on the Jayhawk roster had not won a match in Ames. A sense of a must win was the feeling before the match.
The Jayhawks are now 21-6 overall and 11-3 in Big 12 Conference play. After the win against Iowa State, Kansas is now second in the Big 12 for the first time in program history.
"Hitting line was working really well and I was trying to be as aggressive as possible," Albers said. "Every swing I hit the ball as hard as I can and being aggressive was the number one thing I was looking at."
The key for Albers attacking last night was trying to be as aggressive against Iowa State, who lead the Big 12 Conference in digs per set.
The Jayhawks will celebrate, but they know they have work left in the season.
this was one of her more complete matches since coming to Kansas."
TULSA, Okla. — Tied at halftime with winless Tulsa, 14th-ranked Wichita State walked off the court to chants of "overrated!"
Following an early season pattern, the Shockers found the offensive rhythm necessary to validate their ranking in the second half.

VanVleet, Baker lead No.14 Wichita St.to win

The Shockers shot 53.6 percent from the field in the second half after hitting
"We want to change that and play the first half the way that we are playing the second half." VanVleet said. "We know that our ranking can be a shot of energy for the other team at the start of the game. But we know that we can grind on the other team for a while and then we will bust it open."
Leading 51-48 after an inside basket by Tulsa's James Woodward, Wichita State scored the next eight points to force a Golden Hurricane timeout with 8:35 left. Wichita State (5-0) has outscored its opponents by a combined 71 points in the second half the past four games. Tulsa (0-3) was 13 for 30 from the free throw line. In its two home games this season, Tulsa is 30 for 66 from the line.

"We simply have to step up to the line and make shots." Tula head coach Danny Manning said. "We're disappointed and upset that we lost this game. We got beat. There are no moral victories. We have to get better and we have to battle in the second half the way we did in the first half tonight."
Tulsa pulled to 10 points on a 3-pointer by Pat Swilling with 5:39 to play, but VanVieet and Baker took over the game from there. VanVieet notched a 3-pointer on Wichita State's next possession and Baker capped off the Shockers' next two trips down the court with a jumper and a 3-pointer to boost Wichita State's advantage to 71-53 with 3:26 remaining.

The recruiting process isn't quite over yet, but with the signing of Cliff Alexander, Jayhawk fans should be very excited for next year. One note, my favorite part about Cliff's live announcement was his fake-out of choosing Illinois. That definitely caused Illinois fans to go nuts and was enjoyable to see.

Women's rugby team finishes undefeated
name@kansan.com
TORI RUBINSTEIN
This past Saturday the KU women's rugby team sealed their undefeated season with a win against Mid-Missouri. The playoffs will begin in the spring where the Jayhawks hope to make it to Nationals.
Even more amazing than the team's flawless record is the fact that most of the girls had never played rugby before coming to the University.
Erica Rudoff, a sophomore from Sugar Land, Texas, said that she had played high school soccer and would often get into trouble for being too aggressive. She planned on trying out for the soccer club but when she found out that the University had a rugby club, she decided to go for it and fell in love with the sport.
Jaden Gragg, a junior from Shawnee who was also new to the game as a freshman, said that everything came together for herself and the team this year.
"We work really well as a team
and have good communication on the field," Gragg said.
Team executive Lauren Lawson said that the squad always tries to motivate one another to keep playing and the tone that the girls set for each other

said.
The Jayhawks have a unique tradition after every game where the two opposing teams meet at a local restaurant. This is where the
MVPs, or "the man of the match," as they call it in the rugby world, are named.
"It's sort of the rugby way of thanking our opposition for going through an 80 minute beating
along with us, because without them we wouldn't have a match to play," Lawson said.
Rudoff said that it's great to meet your opposition because it's not so much about winning or losing as it is about getting to play the game they love and meeting others who love it too.
With a growing interest in the sport, the club welcomes all new players at any time throughout the year. Even if the season is over, players and coaches are happy to talk to anyone interested in joining the team.

James scores 21. Heat roll past Magic 120-92
ORLANDO, Fla. — LeBron James scored 21 points and handed out seven assists, Chris Bosh scored 18 points and the Miami Heat beat the Orlando Magic 120-92 on Wednesday night for their fifth straight victory.
James Jones scored 14 of his 17 points in the third quarter, when the Heat turned what was a five-point game into a runaway.
All five Miami starters sat out the fourth quarter for the second straight night, and Dwyane Wade sat out the whole way once again to give his knees more rest.
Michael Beasley scored 14 points and Chris Andersen added 10 for the Heat, who opened the game on a 16-0 run, lost the lead briefly in the second quarter, then dominated after halftime.
Arron Afflalo scored 20 of his 30 points in the first half for Orlando, and made 7 of 9 shots from 3-point range. Victor Olad-
ipo scored 20 points, though had eight turnovers, giving him 17 in his past two games.
Jamee Nelson scored 17 for the Magic.
Jones started in Wade's place and went 4 for 5 from beyond the arc in the third quarter alone, including back-to-back 3s that helped blow the game open. After connecting to make it 68-57, Jones took a pass from James, watched Nelson sail past after falling victim to a head fake, then coolly hit another 3 to extend Miami's lead to 14.
"That's what happens when you double," James shouted, and the Heat didn't lose control again.
Just as was the case Tuesday against Atlanta, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra let the second unit finish the game off in the fourth. The win improved Spoelstra's career record to 269-137, inching him past the legendary Red Auerbach for fifth on the NBAs all-time winning percentage list for coaches.

The Kansas football team runs onto the field before the game on Saturday, Nov. 16, against West Virginia. Kansas won 31-19.
Howard helps team to first victory in five-year Kansas career
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
As the seconds ticked off the clock in the fourth quarter of Saturday's win over West Virginia, fifth-year senior offensive lineman Gavin Howard searched the sidelines for someone willing to help dump a bucket of water over coach Charlie Weis.
Mostly his teammates were afraid that Weis would get mad.
"I was going to do it no matter what," Howard said. "So, finally I found another senior to do it with me."
Senior linebacker Darius Willis decided to help Howard in the end, and Weis had no problems with it.
"He wasn't mad at all. He was excited," Howard said. "Who can be mad after a good win?"
It was the first conference win that Howard has played in during his five years at Kansas. Howard has been through 44 losses, 27 straight conference losses and three head coaches during his time at the University.
Weis said that the fifth-year seniors are the players who have been through the most instability and criticism, and have still worked as
hard as anybody to improve.
"That's who I was the happiest for," Weis said of the fifth-year seniors. "I think even though there haven't been a bunch of rewards, a game like Saturday, it was so good to look in their faces."
Wais said that it was a look of pure iov.
After the game, Howard was the first player into the room to speak with media.
Howard wasn't a starter on the offensive line to begin the season, but as the unit struggled and Weis made adjustments, Howard found himself as the starting center by the
fifth game of the season.
He hasn't relinquished the spot since, bringing some confidence to a team that has had its share of criticism this season.
Though he's had some bad snaps he said he would like to have back, Howard's experience on the offensive line has made him a leader in the unit. He takes it upon himself to unite the group.
"The center is really the key to making sure the line is together as a unit." Howard said.
Senior Riley Spencer said that Howard is able to make sure everyone understands the situation and
where to be, and with the constant changes on the line this season, he's a useful guy to have at center.
Howard will play just two more games as a Jayhawk: this Saturday at Iowa State and a home game against Kansas State on Nov. 30.
"It's good to have a center that not only knows their position but knows everyone else's position, and that has been his biggest asset," Spencer said.
If the victory over West Virginia was dedicated to the seniors, Howard isn't satisfied just yet.
"I really think the biggest dedication would be to win the last three
games," Howard said.
It had been three years since Howard had seen his last Big 12 win, and he said the time felt longer than that.
But he remains focused on building up his teammates. He wants to give them something that will bring confidence for next season.
"It's been a rough ride, but we have a chance to right the ship here at the end, and they can take the momentum into next year," Howard said.

OFFENSE
Montell Cozart was listed atop the depth chart for the first time and will make his first road start at Iowa on Saturday. Cozart showed some flashes last week as a passer, and proved he can sling it when given the time. James Sims set a career high last week with 211 rushing yards and could see some more daylight as Iowa State surrendered 405 rushing yards to Oklahoma last week.
DEFENSE
The defense held West Virginia in check for the most part last week, save for a few big plays. Iowa State starts a freshman, Sam Rosarch, at quarterback, who has had his fair share of struggles. Kansas will have a lesser test this week, but this defense has become susceptible to the big plays early on. Winning the turnover battle is crucial, and with the likes of JaCorey Sheppard and Isaiah Johnson against a spotty quarterback, the game can easily change.
PLAYER TO WATCH
James Sims. With Sims having only two games left, look for Weis to ground and pound it with Sims in a game that will likely be tight and ugly. If the offensive line can open up holes for Sims to get through the defense, then the Jayhawks shouldn't have much trouble locking in their second conference victory of the season.

GAME
DAY
KANSAS VS. TOWSON 7 P.M., ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, LAWRENCE All eyes are on Joel Embiid as Friday's game nears
PLAYER TO WATCH
Joel Embiid
As Embid registered his first career double-double against the Gaels, his father was
Embiid
Cenkid
witnessing his son play basketball for the first time. Embid was a perfect 7-7 from the floor and showed off his skills in front of his father. Fortunately for Kansas, the elder Embiid will be in the stands when Towson comes to town too.
AT A GLANCE
Even with star power like Andrew Wiggins and Wayne Selden Jr. on the perimeter the Jayhawks will only go as far as their big men take them. Going solely off of the lona game, that seems to be pretty far. Joel Embiid took a seismic step in his development and Perry Ellis continues to put up double digits.
QUESTION MARK
When will Tarik Black make his defensive adjustment? If you include the preseason, Black has played five straight games in which he's run into
foul trouble. Kansas has showed it has the depth to deal with that issue, but the Jayhawks are no doubt a stronger team if Black can play to his potential.
BY THE NUMBERS
53 Percent that the Jayhawks have shot from the field in each game this season.
57 Points scored by Perry Ellis through three games

Tharpe
Naadir Tharpe, Guard
Tharpe seemingly returned to form in Tuesday night's victory over Iona. The junior notched 10 assists with just one turnover. Nights like that will make Kansas Coach Bill Self extremely happy and allows the Jayhawks offense to find, and keep, a solid rhythm.
★★★☆☆
Wayne Selden Jr., Guard
A. B. KIHAN
It still feels like Selden is trying to find his place on the floor. Against lona the freshman shot 50 percent from the floor (3-6) with five assists but didn't particularly stand out. He's still a viable option to run the offense if Tharpe and Frank Mason run into foul trouble.
Selden
★★★★
Andrew Wiggins, Guard
If it's possible to quietly score 13 points off of mainly dunks, Andrew Wiggins has found the way. In most other games Wiggins athleticism would have been the highlight of the night but the emergence of Joel Embiid and the scoring power of Perry Ellis down low took the attention off of Wiggins against the Gaels.
Wiggins
★★★★★
PRESIDENT
Ellis
Perry Ellis, Forward
Through three games this season Ellis is averaging 19 points. There's no reason to expect that to slow down anytime soon. Ellis seems to drastically improve from game to game. His footwork and finishing ability allows him to keep the defense guessing in the paint.
★★★★☆
Black
Tarik Black, Forward
We still have yet to see what Black can really bring to the Jayhawks lineup. The senior transfer hasn't found a way to keep himself out of foul trouble and his playing time reflects it. It's also important to remember he's adjusting to a new team and system as well.

Jayhawks to compete at Kansas Classic this weekend
MIRANDA DAVIS
mdavis@kansan.com
mdavis@kansan.com
The Jayhawks will head to Topeka this weekend where they will host the Kansas Classic. The team, now 2-3, will compete against five other schools in the championship-style meet.
The meet is slated for the entire weekend and will start Friday, Nov. 22 at 10 a.m. and will run through Sunday, Nov. 24. Schools competing against the Jayhawks include the US Air Force Academy, Iowa State, Nebraska-Lincoln, Nebraska-Omaha and Northern Iowa.
Kansas has already competed against US Air Force and Nebraska-Omaha this season. The Jayhawks lost their season opener against the Air Force Academy and defeated Nebraska-Omaha on Nov. 2 in Lawrence.
coach Clark Campbell expects a lot of competition from the other teams for the top spot this weekend.
"There's a total of six teams in this meet, and I think four of those teams will be competing for the top spot: Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa State and Air Force," Campbell said.
Kansas swimming and diving
The meet will be held at the Capitol Federal Natorium in Topeka, but is considered a home meet for the Jayhawks. It will be set up as an NCAA Championship meet and the events will be circle-seeded for the preliminaries, according to KUAthletics.com.
Preliminary events will take place on Friday and Saturday and the finals will be held on Sunday. Sunday's finals will also be televised on Time Warner Sports Network starting at 3 p.m.
after a November 9 loss to Illinois.
The Jayhaws have had two weeks off to prepare for this meet,
after a November 9 loss to Illinois.
"We got in a really good week of training after Illinois," Campbell said. "We really went after it."
After that training week the team is resting up for the three-day meet.

"It's a different meet, it's a championship style meet, not a dual meet so it happens over three days instead of one," Campbell said. "We are letting the girls rest up a bit for that. Hopefully they are fresh and ready to go on Friday."
While the weekend will be filled with tough competition for the Jayhawks, Campbell expects some of the strongest times of the fall leg of the season.
EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN
"We want to have the best meet thus far in the fall," Campbell said. "We want to go the fastest we have thus far in the collegiate season."
Alison Lusk, a senior on the Kansas swimming and diving team, swims the 200-yard breastroke at a Feb. 2, 2012, meet against Arkansas.
The Jayhawks will take another two weeks off after this weekend and travel to Knoxville, Tenn. to
compete at USA winter nationals on Dec. 5-7. This will be the first chance for the Jayhawks to individually qualify for NCAA Nationals in February. The Jayhawks next home meet is against William
Jewell on Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. in Lawrence.

DANIEL HARMSEN
dharmsen@kansan.com
Junior cross country runner Reid Buchanan earned an automatic bid to the NCAA National Championships with his 12th place finish at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships last Friday at the Iowa State Cross Country Course. Buchanan will be the first Jayhawk to compete in the race since Don Wasinger did in 2010, finishing 233rd overall with a time of 33:02.7. The race will be held in Terre Haute, Ind., this Saturday.
After losing his shoe just 1K into the race at regionals, Buchanan pushed through the last 9K of the 10K race in 30:43.50, just 15
seconds behind first place finisher Chris O'Hare from Tulsa, at an average pace of 4:56 per mile. He actually ran the second half of the race faster than the first half—

But this Saturday, Buchanan will have to do it without his teammates, hopefully with both shoes.
Buchanan has past experience at the course for Saturday's race, when he raced with the team on Oct. 19 during the ISU Pre-National Invitational. Buchanan finished 37th overall, and first for the Jayhawks with a time of 24:05.84 for the 8K course.

'WORTH THE PAIN
SURVIVAL STORY
Alumnus writes about deadly battle with meningitis
KATIE MCBRIDE
kcbride@kansan.com
It was the end of April, 2004 when Andy Marso first felt sick.
Marso decided to rest, thinking he would feel better after sleeping. However, Marso could not get out of bed when he woke up the next morning.
As it turned out, Marso was infected with bacterial meningitis, and said that it got into his bloodstream and released toxins that "slice and dice" the blood vessels. It impairs circulation, and prevents the internal organs and extremities from getting the blood they need.
Now, nine years after surviving the rare form of bacterial meningitis, Marso, a University graduate, is working to provide others with hope for overcoming difficulties through his book "Worth the Pain."
"I have a responsibility to make the most of my life so that these people see that their life can still be good too," Marso said.
available on Amazon just a few weeks ago. He said in addition to educating others about meningitis and the traumatic effects it can have, he wanted to tell a good story, and said “there’s a lot of pain in the book, but there’s also a lot of hope.”
One way he hopes to do this is through his book, which became
Before becoming infected with the disease senior year, Marso said he was enjoying his normal, busy life as a jayhawk. By senior year, he was surrounded with great friends, spent his free time playing intramural sports, wrote for the Kansan, was on his way to finishing his degree in journalism, and lived in Pearson Scholarship Hall.
One of his friends, Clay Britton,
noticed that Marso had missed class
one morning. He lived in Pearson
with Marso and when he got home,
he went upstairs to Marso's room
and opened the door to check on
him and ask if he was okay.

STAYING FOR THANKSGIVING
ILLUSTRATION BY COLE ANNEBERG/KANSAN
Students spend Thanksgiving in Lawrence
DANI BRADY
dbrady@kansan.com
As college students plan to go home and celebrate Thanksgiving Break with family and friends, many international and out-of-state students cannot do the same.
When the dorms become empty, classes aren't in session and silence falls over the town, these students stay put and spend their break in Lawrence. It may not sound like the most ideal situation but many of these students are faced with high-priced airfare and too short of a time span to spend traveling. For Alyssa Ong, a senior from
Malaysia, it takes 48 hours to fly home. She is not familiar with the American holiday, so for her it is just like any other break. She will spend the long weekend studying and relaxing and has made plans to get lunch with her international friends on Thursday.
"It will not be anything traditional and I can assure you there won't be any turkey," Ong said. Residence halls will be closed over the break forcing students who cannot go home to look for another place to stay. McCollum Residence Hall on Daisy Hill will be the only dorm that will stay open. The hall will charge $85 for the five-night break.
Some are returning home, some are staying on campus and others are spending the holiday at a friend or roommate's house. No matter your plans or nationality, we should be thankful for those around us and make sure to make the best of our long weekend.
"My freshman year my aunt made like 40 pounds of turkey," Perryman said, "And until a few years ago I never knew people had turkey and stuffing for Thanksgiving because we always eat Hawaiian food."
"I know many international students stress out about where they are going to live because $85 may not be a lot of money in America but it is a lot of money in our country," says Ong.
For many students, staying with family or friends during this oasis in the fall semester provides another option.
Katie Perryman, a senior from Hawaii, recalls it being very difficult her freshman year when she realized she was not going to be able to go home. She is grateful she had family close by to spend her holiday with, which also allowed her to learn some new Thanksgiving traditions.
Senate decision leads employment equality
Edited by James Ogden
HIRED
MCKENNA HARFORD
mharford@kansan.com
In a show of support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, the U.S. Senate passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, a bill that states employers can't discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity. This bill, if passed by the house, would mean a victory for those in the LGBTQ community in their fight toward equality.
"When LGBTQ students leave here they [would] no longer have that fear of moving to a state that will not support them in their employment based or gender expression, gender identity or sexual orientation," LGBTQ Resource Center Coordinator Michael Detmer said. "It's one less thing to worry about as a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender student when trying to find a job because they know they will be protected in every state."
Without the fear of being fired based on self-expression, Detmer feels that the workplace will be more productive and efficient.
"These laws impact the entire population because we are seeing federal support towards this group of people, which helps break down some of the barriers," Detmer said. "It will help us be more aware of inequality and we can take a stand for human rights and social justice and equality for people."
There are many groups on campus that work to make sure that students don't have to face discrimination, such as Queens and Allies. The LGBTQ Resource Center also works to raise awareness and education on campus so that students feel safe.
Student Senate is also working toward a more equal campus. They recently passed a resolution that would give the same benefits that heterosexual couples have to same-sex couples.
"The biggest thing is having the discussion and talking about it and making it real and bringing a humanistic viewpoint to the discussion so people will realize that the bisexual sitting next to them in class or the trans faculty person teaching their classroom is a human being." Detmer said. "There might be differences in terms of how they express themselves or who they have sex with, but that doesn't impact how they do their job or how they contribute to this world."
"It's important to students because if we can't attract openly gay faculty, then gay students, open or not, won't see themselves represented," student body vice president Emma Halling said. "We want a diverse perspective in the classroom because it's an important part of the liberal arts education."
Index
With the work being done to make a more inclusive environment for the LGBTQ community, Detmer hopes that will mean a move toward equality in other aspects of life.
Vice president for Delta Lambda Phi, the progressive men's fraternity on campus, Tim Hewitt also hopes that this will lead to more equality.
"Being able to have a stable job and keep it, and being secure in your life, that's pretty much all we are asking." Hewitt said.

Social media activity affects employment, admissions
Wolfram recommends students take the following five steps to 'clean up' their social media accounts and ensure their online presence is positive.
CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION!
Social media allows a student to brand therelselves, Wolfram said, and positive social media activity can make you stand out to emplovers.

EMPLOYMENTS and universities use social media to profile applicants, according to a 2013 Kaplan Test Prep survey.

Although your party photos might not have prevented you from being admitted into the University of Kansas, they might prevent you from landing your dream job once you graduate.
Several universities across the country are beginning to factor social media into their admissions process according to a 2013 Kaplan Test Prep survey of college admission officers, and though the University isn't one of those schools, people are considering your social media as a part of your image.
"The University has very straightforward admissions requirements," said Director of Admissions Lisa Pinamonti Kress.
However, employers are looking. Erin Wolfram, Assistant Director of the University Career Center, said students should know that employers are Googling them. She said it's not enough to set your privacy settings high and assume employers won't find you, but just because they are looking doesn't mean they are looking for something negative.
Kress said that social media does not affect undergraduate admissions requirements for the University, which are set by the Kansas Board of Regents.
not only what you post, but also what your friends or followers post on your social media accounts.
4. Google yourself about once a month. Google your name, your phone number and your email to ensure that you know what other people are posting about you.
Pro tip: sign up for Google alerts that way you get an email each time your name, email address or phone number are mentioned.
3. Update your settings so that you can approve tags before they are attached to your account and make sure your privacy settings are as high as possible.
5. Post positive messages related to your desired career field. Share
articles, photos and interesting facts that show employers you are passionate about what you want to do. Pro tip: Start a blog to share things related to your career field.
"I would like to assume most students would rather get the job, than post an inappropriately funny photo." Wolfram said.
The University Career Center gives presentations on social media to student groups upon requests. Individual students can learn more by setting up an appointment with a career coach at career.ku.edu/appointments.

PERSON ON THE STREET How do you feel about potential employers seeing your social media?
"It kind of makes me uncomfortable because I feel like that's a private part of us, but at the same time if an employer wants to see how you are normally I wouldn't be offended if they decided to look at my Facebook. If you really care about it you can make your stuff private, right?"

"I see social media as marketing yourself so you should never put anything with red cups. Like I never have solo cups, drinking. I never cuss in my tweets because honesty you are marketing yourself on social media. Once you're in college employers are going to look at you once you start applying. And internships too—the they look at that. I know they look at that."

and could not get up. Britton asked him if he was able to come downstairs and get something to eat or drink.
"I was thinking that sometimes when you're not feeling well you just have to get up and get moving," Britton said.
Britton decided to call Watkins Memorial Health Center and described Marso's symptoms, and he was advised to bring Marso in. Britton, along with the help of one of his friends, got Marso dressed and out of bed, and helped him downstairs to Britton's car.
When they got to Watkins, Britton again asked if Marso was able to walk by himself.
"I thought maybe he'd be feeling a little better since he got some fresh air," Britton said. "But he said, 'No, I don't think I can.'"
The staff at Watkins quickly identified how sick Marso was. In a matter of a few hours, Marso was taken from Watkins in an ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, then flown to KU Medical Center in Kansas City, and by the end of the night his condition was critical.
Marso said that for the first few
weeks in the hospital, the doctors worked to stabilize his internal organs as he was "basically drugged into oblivion."
"It was basi-
cally 50-50 as to
whether I would
survive."
Marso said.

bit better, you could talk to Andy and he would sort of whisper a sentence here and there. It took quite a while
for him to have the energy to engage in a regular conversation again."
"It was basically 50-50 as to whether I would survive."
Because his limbs were without blood for so long, all the flesh on his fingers and toes was dying. He had a choice: amputate his limbs or try to save them by slicing and scraping off all the dead tissue.
So every other day for the next three months, he had treatments through the KU Medical Center burn clinic to try to get rid of the dead tissue. During his time in the hospital, he had eight total surgeries for skin grafting and amputations. His fingers and toes were not able to be saved, and had to be amputated.
ANDY MARSO
Author of "Worth the Pain"
After leaving the hospital, Marso spent the next year in rehabilitation, physical therapy and occupational therapy, learning to walk with leg braces and use his hands to do everything that he had used to be able to do without thinking.
While Marso was in the hospital, complete strangers came to visit him and talk. He said a man who had bacterial meningitis when he was 17 and lost his feet came and talked with Andy right before he had his toes amputated; seeing that the man had made it through gave Marso hope.
"In the beginning, the visits were all about [hoping that] maybe Andy would wake up for a few minutes and see that you were there, rooting for him." Britton said. "After he was getting a little
"I had to rethink everything," Marso said. "For the first year of rehabilitation, life became like a constant physics lesson."
Marso was in the hospital until September of 2004, and was "completely helpless" when hospitalized. He had a strong support system from his family, and said his parents, grandma, and two brothers moved to Kansas City while he was hospitalized. His friends also visited him often, including friends from Minnesota, where he grew up.
Other visitors like these, who could relate to Marso and let him know that it's possible to get through it, motivated Marso to do the same once he recovered.
"There were so many days when I thought, 'I can't take it. I'm not going to make it.'" Marso said. "I want to give people hope for the days they think are unbearable."
He said the first couple of years were difficult and frustrating because he could still remember how easy things used to be, but by now he's forgotten what it was like before;
this is the new normal.
Currently, approved bacterial meningitis vaccines in the United States protect against four out of the five main types, and Marso was infected with the type that is not protected by vaccines. He hopes that since every college student in the United States is susceptible to becoming infected, they will "raise their voices and make themselves heard" by pushing for approval of a vaccine that will protect against the other main type.
Today, Marso works for the Topeka Capital-Journal reporting on state government news. He doesn't let the changes in his body caused by the meningitis hold him back, and he does not dwell on it, said Britton.
"In some ways, after a while I didn't really see any changes," Britton said. "He's the same Andy; he's goofy, he's witty, he knows the words to almost every song on the radio. Those things were still there and came back. He's learned to be every bit the same person he was before."

Cars slide on Paseo del Norte Sunday, Nov.24, in Albuquerque, N.M., after a winter storm hit New Mexico over the weekend making driving difficult for drivers. A large storm already blamed for at least eight deaths in the West slogged through Oklahoma Texas, New Mexico and other parts of the southwest Sunday as it slowly churned east ahead of Thanksgiving.
Storms lead to holiday flight cancellations
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A large storm already blamed for at least eight deaths in the West slogged through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and other parts of the Southwest on Sunday, leading to hundreds of flight cancellations as it slowly churned east ahead of Thanksgiving.
After the storm plows through the Southwest, meteorologists expect the Arctic mass to head south and east, threatening plans for Tuesday and Wednesday as people hit the roads and airports for some of the busiest travel days of the year.
More than 300 flights were cancelled at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, representing about one-third of the scheduled departures, and a spokeswoman said deicing equipment had been prepared as officials planned for the worst in a flurry of conference calls and meetings.
"It's certainly going to be a travel impact as we see the first
few people making their way for Thanksgiving," National Weather Service meteorologist Tom Bradshaw said.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for chunks of North Texas from noon Sunday until midday Monday. Parts of Oklahoma are also under a winter storm warning, while an advisory has been issued for other parts of the state. A mix of rain and sleet began falling north of Dallas on Interstate 35 by midday Sunday, and areas of southwestern Oklahoma woke up to several inches of snow.
Some elevated overpasses had icy surfaces, but Bradshaw said the worst weather could be expected between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m., possibly snarling morning rush hour.
Several inches of snow fell overnight in Altus in far southwestern Oklahoma, said Damaris Machabo, a receptionist at a Holiday Inn motel.
"It looks great. I love the snow," Machabo said. The snow and freezing temperatures made driving in the area treacherous, but Machabo said she had no problems getting to work early Sunday. Forecasts called for more snow in the area later in the day.
Portions of New Mexico especially in some of the higher elevations also had several inches of snow, and near white out conditions were reported along stretches of Interstate 40 west of Albuquerque.
Then along the New Mexico Texas border, into the El Paso area, a mix of snow, sleet and ice forced some road closures and created messy driving condition
the storm. The storms caused cancellations of sporting events and parades and damaged the roofs of homes across Arizona.
In Tucson, firefighters on Friday recovered the body of a man who was swept away by high water in the Santa Cruz River. Tucson police said Sunday an autopsy revealed signs of trauma, and they were investigating the death as a homicide. They did not say whether they had ruled out the storm as a cause of his death
Flagstaff in Arizona had 11 inches of snow by early Sunday, and was expected to get another inch by the end of the day before the storm petered out. Metro Phoenix and other parts of central Arizona received between 1 $ \frac{1}{2} $ to 2 $ \frac{1}{2} $ inches of rain over the course of
By early Sunday, the weather was blamed for at least eight deaths in several fatal traffic accidents. The storm also caused hundreds of rollover accidents, including one that injured three members of singer Willie Nelson's band when their bus hit a pillar on Interstate 30 near Sulphur Springs, about 75 miles northeast of Dallas.
Dallas prepared for the storm by declaring "Ice Force Level 1," code for sending 30 sand trucks to trouble shoot hazardous road
conditions.
At Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, spokeswoman Cynthia Vega said most of the cancelled flights were in the afternoon and evening hours and were with American Airlines and American Eagle. The possibility of ice on the runways led to a series of conference calls and meetings early Sunday, she added, noting the airport had liquid and solid deicers ready for use.
The storm system, though, was particularly hard to predict because a couple of degrees here or there with the temperature will determine whether regions see rain, sleet or snow, Bradshaw said.
"It's very difficult to pin those down," Bradshaw said. "It's slow moving and it's sort of bringing its energy out in pieces so it's kind of hard to time these as they come across with a great deal of accuracy."

IMMIGRATION
Use of 'illegal' terminology dehumanizes immigrants
Earlier this week, as you might have heard, some University of Texas at Austin students put up a Facebook event for a game of "Catch an Illegaligrant"—otherwise known as "Catch a Racist in the Act of Being Really, Really Racist." The media has rightfully decried the bigotry of the Young Conservatives of Texas, the student group that was organizing the event originally. And the students of UT Austin themselves by and large were disgusted (thankfully) at the actions of some of their peers—so much that they actually managed to put on a counter-protest pro-immigration rally that drew over 500 participants. This is rad, because racist actions need to be shut down thoroughly and succinctly. And I'm glad to learn that the public pressure not only halted this dehumanizing "game" in its tracks, but that the undocumented students of UT Austin
had a legion of folks standing up for their dignity. Warms the cold cockles of my feminist heart, really.
But, as I saw people on my newsfeed talking about the original event—"Catch an illegal immigrant"—and the counter-protest that sprang up—alternately, as I saw from some friends who go to UT Austin, referred to as "I Am: Undocumented"—I realized that many people I know are not aware of the importance of using "undocumented" rather than "illegal" when talking about immigrants. Which means probably a lot of yall are uneducated as well. Luckily, it's a pretty simple lesson.

No human being is ever illegal. That's it. Point blank, no contestation, no argument, no Rush Limbaugh demagoguery making my ears bleed out slowly—a human being cannot be "illegal" just by nature of existing. A person might do an act, yes, that
By Katherine Gwynn
kgwynn@kansan.com
might transgress the law. But that doesn't transform the entirety of that person – their very personhood – as something not allowed within the bounds of the law. But the differentiation between "undocumented" and "illegal" is about more than just pure semantics—the latter is a term that tries to make us consider people as not, well, people.
As tons of activists (like undocumented folks themselves) have been saying for years, the term "illegal immigrant" strips an undocumented individual of their voice, human dignity and basic
human rights, for Pete's sake. It inculcates into our minds the notion that undocumented individuals' bodies are, in their sheer presence, some sort of violent crime upon the United States, upon citizenship, upon Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty, and a whole bunch of other bull. But that's what the term says.
It doesn't just say "you don't belong here." It says "you don't deserve to be, at all."
Thankfully, more and more news outlets, such as the AP News, are using "undocumented" and not "illegal," when referring to migrants without documentation. But "illegal immigrant" as a term (and slur) still persists. Which is why you can make a huge difference in the civil rights conversation for a whole slew of folks, just by changing the way you speak and correcting others. By saying "undocumented", and never "illegal."
It's such a simple change, and yet one with a tremendous impact. One that restores a sense of humanity to a conversation and persecution that harms so many. Let me borrow some words of wisdom from the eternally glorious, brilliant, Latina feminist (who maybe I am a slight fangirl of) Gloria Anzaldua: "Caminante, no al hay puentes, se hace puentes an andar. Voyager, there are no bridges, one builds them as one walks."
So take those necessary steps of extending humanity to your fellow humans, beginning with the language you use towards said fellow humans and start building those bridges already.

Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!' / Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore'. Edgar Allen Poe may have written about a raven rather than a crow in his eerie poem "The Raven", but both birds have proven their ability to send a chill down your spine.

Recently, John Marzluff has received attention for his most recent work with crows. Marzluff is a faculty member at the University of Washington and his current project is the "Neuroecology of American Crow Recognition of People." This project is described in detail on the University of Washington's website, stating that, "research has demonstrated that American Crows recognize individual humans who have wronged them in the past and that they retain this information for over five years. They demonstrate individual learning of this information and their social learning by observation can also be inferred."
Marzluff designed an experiment using masks to test the birds aptitude toward revenge. As the New York Times reports, "To test the birds' recognition of faces separately from that of clothing, gait and other individual human characteristics, Dr. Marzluff and two students wore rubber masks. He designated a caveman mask as 'dangerous' and, in a deliberate gesture of civic generosity, a Dick Cheney mask as 'neutral.' Researchers
in the dangerous mask then trapped and banded seven crows on the university's campus in Seattle."
After this initial stage of the experiment, in the following months, the researchers wore the same masks on campus but this time did not interfere with the crowds.
The crows, however, interfered with them. The New York Times summarizes the results by stating the crows "scolded people in the dangerous mask significantly more than they did before they were trapped, even when the mask was disguised with a hat or worn upside down. The neutral mask provoked little reaction. The effect has not only persisted, but also multiplied over the past two years."
If the effect has multiplied over the past two years, the effect cannot be limited to just a couple of scorned crowds. "The researchers hypothesize that crows learn to recognize threatening humans from both parents and others in their flock," reported the New York Times.
Although, I am far removed from Marzluff's research team.
One Saturday, a previous volunteer, who had been out of the country for a couple of years, walked in and asked if she could see Edgar. She assured us that she had spent plenty of time with him and that they were on good terms. I assumed that Edgar would have forgotten his connection with her over this long gap. To my surprise, she walked into the cage and Edgar stood on her hand and genuinely seemed to enjoy her company.
Lawrence has its very own scorned crow. Prairie Park Nature Center houses a crow aptly named "Edgar". As a volunteer at the nature center, I've learned that Edgar is fond of very few people. I originally assumed that this was just part of his personality and that all were equal in Edgar's mind, a source of food and nothing more.
While I don't have the research to prove that crows remember kindness as well as they do cruelty, I think that animals remember how we treat them much like humans do. And also like humans, Marzluff's research reminds us that reputations can be spread throughout families and social groups, especially bad reputations.
When interacting with anyone animal or human, remember that kindness and respect go a long way.

FFA OF THE DAY
A few weeks ago, in a Michigan middle school, a handful of students
UDK
were prevented from honoring a classmate who they lost to leukemia. In the name of protecting the other children from grief, the administrators banned t-shirts with her name. It backfired spectacularly.
As a pre-teen, I ran with a small pack of other neighborhood hoodlums around a set of ponds that ran through all our backyards. In a slimy, scrap metal-filled corner, we made our "base" in a sewage drainage pipe. Every day we could, wed climb through an obstacle course of thorns, muddy hills and huge slabs of unstable rocks to reach it. We came out with cuts, bruises and a genuine sense of adventure. While other kids played Nintendo 64 until their eyes bled, we fought off geese while scooping up frogs with our bare hands.
No tiger will ever enter Allen Fieldhouse and walk away with their dignity intact.
This little oasis of the unknown—a small, 100-square foot block of swamp—gave us stories to tell about wildlife, nasty pieces of algae we dared each other to lick and a perfect platform to play "Vietnam" in the mud.
If you so much as mention that sort of place to some parents these days, you'd get slapped. These sorts of "dangerous places" are harder and harder to find. And if you do find one, there's not a kid in sight. Their parents have trapped them inside eating apple slices and playing cheap video games that teach arithmetic and vocabulary. If they ever emerge from their cave, pale and emaciated, they hide from the sun like Gollum.

wagons down their street after reading a healthy dose of Bill Watterson.
It's easy to cast aspersions on parents from afar. These are all people doing the hardest job of their lives and improvising most of the time. It's true that times are changing. Schools are now battlegrounds. Food is filled with lead and toys with mercury. Paranoia is becoming standard.
About a month ago, I watched my mom pull out her cell phone and puff up like a blowfish. "She's cussing again!" she declared to the car. She'd installed an app that let her remotely monitor my sister's text messaging like Big Brother went 4G. It wasn't just the creepiness of the spying that confused me, it was the indignity and disbelief that her child was cursing. Here's a woman that congratulated me when I caught a bucket full of tadpoles and named them all Chuck.
And that's what I'm really worried about: that maybe the second I'm responsible for another human life, I'll grow a Castro beard and start banning comic books. I'm terrified that this new social landscape has redefined parenting to a totalitarian dictatorship.
These scrapes, broken bones and fights in the schoolyard build character. The cuts heal into scars that eventually fade. But the sense of independence and confidence never leaves you. Without my sewage-pipe fort, I'd be half who I am today.
With that in mind, all I ask is that once you find yourself taking care of a tiny human, you take your kid out of his cage, put him on the leash and take him for a walk every once in a while. And refill his water-bowl; the water gets funky after a day or so.

MOVIE REVIEW
THE LOVE BELIEVER
"Catching Fire", the second film in the popular " Hunger Games" series, had a successful release on Nov. 22.
COLOR FORCE
Latest 'Hunger Games' film burns up box office
MADDY MIKINSKI
mmikinski@kansan.com
"Catching Fire" is arguably one of the most anticipated movies of the year. This second installment in the insanely popular "Hunger Games" series is just as gripping as the first — maybe even more so — and twice as jarring.
"The Hunger Games" trilogy resumes with main character Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) dealing with the political and emotional repercussions of her Hunger Games victory (documented in the first film of the series). Katniss and fellow District 12 inhabitant Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) turned the entire country of Panem on its head when both were proclaimed as winners of the annual games — a
bloodly reminder of a rebellion more or less half a century before. As kratniss and Peeta tour the country, they become a symbol for a new revolution and, consequently, a threat to the controlling government.
The plot is a credit to "Hunger Games" author Suzanne Collins. Collins is an expert at creating plot, twists and keeping audiences guessing. Through her ingenuity, Collins is able to turn her series, originally meant for teen audiences, into something enticing and exciting for all ages.
Though everything about the movie is excellent — the plot is wonderful and the cinematography is perfect — the one thing "Catching Fire" does especially well is reiterate Katniss' value as a female protagonist. Katniss stands
up for what she believes in, but, in doing so, is still unsure of herself. She has real feelings and emotional complexity. Katniss is the heroine young-adult literature and film has been missing for quite some time. Throughout the series, she has made herself worthy of role-model status for everyone, teenager or not.
"Catching Fire" keeps with the trilogy's tradition of engrossing plots with realistic characters. It is a worthy sequel to last year's "Hunger Games" and a successful lead into the final movie, which will be broken up into two parts.

Death Grips' release samples old lyrics
Death Grips is an experimental hip-hop group based out of Sacramento, Calif. The group consists of lead vocalist MC Ride, drummer Zach Hill and producer Andy Morin. The group has received much critical acclaim throughout the last few years, especially its 2012 album, "The Money Store." A few weeks ago, the group released "Government Plates" seemingly out of nowhere and completely for free.
There is no other group or band that can be compared to Death Grips. Its sound is pretty hard to explain but to try and put it simply, it's like hip-hop mixed with punk rock and electronic music. On paper this combination seems like it would be awful, but it all comes together incredibly.
If there's one word that describes Death Grips' music, it's aggressive. MC Ride is not like any other rapper out there. He screams his lyrics, and is at times incomprehensible. On the surface, it seems like he's just screaming nonsense. But once you actually figure out his lyrics, you realize that he's an incredible lyricist. The biggest downfall of "Government Plates" is that MC.Ride doc isn't appear enough. This was upitting because on the opening track, Ride gives an extremely intense vocal performance. Sadly, throughout the album ins tead of new verses from Ride, the band chose to continuously sample previous verses. This type of sampling isn't new to Death Grids, but it leaves the listener unsatisfied.
Siu Ice MC Ride doesn't appear as much as he does on previous eff orts, the production carries th is project. Zach Hill and Andy M orin are geniuses. Every Death Grips release has been fantastic musically and "Government Plates" is no exception. Everything from the noisy synths to the hard-hitting drums sounds ar nazing. The beats can get a lit the repetitive at times, but quite frankly they're the best part about the album.
If you've never given Death Grips a shot, you should at least give this project a listen. It's not good as previous efforts, but it's still really good.

BBC's 'Atlantis' combines Greek myths and bromance
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHEPSTOW, Wales — The myths, magic and monsters of ancient Greek lore are coming to life in the BBC's new fantasy-adventure series "Atlantis" — from the unlikely setting of a former frozen food warehouse in Wales.
A vast space once stuffed with supermarket foodstuffs has been turned into a television studio, filled with sets recreating the fabled lost city, complete with temples and terracotta-roofed houses, ceremonial bull ring and regal palace.
"Atlantis," which starts on BBC America Saturday, is already a sizable hit in Britain, where it fills the family-viewing weekend slot previously occupied by sword-and-sorcery series "Merlin."
"Atlantis" was created by some of the same team as "Merlin," and like that show takes age-old stories and seasons them with humor, thrills and a central bromance.
Actor Mark Addy, who plays a less-than-heroic version of Hercules in "Atlantis," says the recipe involves "a lot of heart and a lot of humor and a huge amount of action and adventure."
"They wanted it to be epic in scale and in feeling, and that's what they've managed to do," he said during a break on a busy day's filming in August.
"We're doing stuff that you'd only ever see in movies, because it's difficult and it's expensive and it's time consuming and it's challenging." Addy said of the 13-part series, shot over nine months in Wales and Morocco.
"Atlantis" opens with a young man named Jason — played by the strapping, curly hairied Jack Donnelly — washing up in the city of Atlantis, disoriented but somehow instantly at home. The Oracle — there's always an oracle — hints at big secrets to be
revealed.
Jason soon meets brainy, kindly Pythagoras. "The triangle guy?" asks Jason, and indeed it is the ancient philosopher and math matrician, here a young man played by Robert Emms.
The third side of the central triangle is Hercules, in the — perhaps surprising — form of Addy, the burly actor who played a steelworker turned-stripper in "The Full Monty" and King Robert Baratheon in "Game of Thrones."
"They wanted it to be epic in scale and in feeling g, and that's what they've managed to do."
MAI RK ADDY
The casting is a sign of the show's flexible approach to the Greek myths. This Hercules has superhuman strength, but he's no bronzed muscleman.
"He wasn't strong because he went to the gym, he was strong because he was Zeus's son,". Addy explained, reasonably. "Although he was a demigod, I think he's inherited most of his mother's mortal traits. He drinks and gambs and he's a womanizer."
The cast includes Sarah Parish as scheming queen Pasiphae, A. Ilysia Hart as comely princess Aria dne, and Jemima Rooper as Medu sa
— here a young woman who has yet to become the snake-haired gorgon of legend.
But the show rests on the three main actors, referred to collectively by their fellow actors as "the boys."
For the 49-year-old Addy, being one of the boys has been fun -- even if hanging out with his 27-year-old co-stars makes him feel "very old."
He recalled nipping out for a cigarette during a meal with Emms and hearing a woman at the next table say "Your dad's being very polite." And Rob of course didn't disabuse her."
Such mix-ups probably ended as soon as the first episode of "Atlantis" was broadcast in September. The show is watched by seven million people a week in Britain, and a second season has already been announced. And Donnelly has become something of a heartthrob.
On set in August, Donnelly said the feeling that his life was about to change was "amazing and daunting."
"It's the best thing that's ever happened to me by a long, long way," said the cheerful actor, looking as bouncy indestructible as his character, who is required to battle bulls, baddies and Minotaurs on a weekly basis, clad in a fetching jerkin.
"The first few weeks I was terrified. I was just waiting to get fired.
... I mean, my last job before this was in (comedy show) 'Misfits' and I was wearing a white rabbit mask and I had no lines and no one saw my face.
"To go from that to this, I suddenly thought 'I'm not ready.' It has not slidible easier since then."
it not ready.' It has got slightly easier since then." Emms has a longer CV, including major film roles in "War Horse" and opposite Julia Roberts in "Mirror Mirror." But he said he was also nervous — although that was offset by his family's delight at his new role.
"I've played ... some not very nice people, some weirdos," he said. "And my mum's like, I'm so pleased you're playing a nice person who doesn't kill anyone." She always just wanted me to play a doctor."

A cinnamon apple swirl cake is easy to make and can be a nice alternative to the usual pumpkin fare.
Desserts to spice up Thanksgiving break
X
KELSEY BARRETT
kbarrett@kansan.com
Pumpkin pie is a popular dessert served with Thanksgiving dinner, but pumpkin treats can wear out before then. Instead of the usual pie, try one of these fall-inspired desserts with 10 ingredients or less.
CINNAMON APPLE SWIRL CAKE:
This cinnamon apple swirl cake only uses five ingredients, which don't require intense preparation. The cake provides a rich treat that is low-fat but still satisfies a sweet tooth. (Recipe courtesy of a family recipe.)
Ingredients:
-3 eggs
- 3 eggs
- 17 ounces applesauce
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- ½ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bundt pan with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Start by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle two tablespoons of the mixture into the greased bundt pan. Next, combine the eggs, applesauce and cake mix with a whisk in a medium-size bowl. Scoop half the batter into the bundt pan and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top. Pour the remaining batter into the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes before flipping the pan to remove the cake.
APPLE CIDER CARAMEL COOKIES:
Cookies are a dessert that is easy to serve and can be snacked on throughout the day. This recipe uses flavors of caramel and cider to bring the essence of fall to the dessert table. (Recipe courtesy of Six Sisters' Stuff blog.)
Ingredients:
-1 cup unsalted butter, nearly melted
-1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
-1 box Alpine Spiced Apple Cider Instant
Original Drink Mix
-2 eggs
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-$\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon baking powder
-3 cups all-purpose flour
-(14 ounce) bag Kraft Caramels
Directions:
begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Make sure to line the baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent a sticky mess. Combine butter, sugar, salt and cider packets in a bowl and cream with a mixer until batter is fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, followed by the baking soda and baking powder. Lastly, mix in the flour until combined. Form the dough into balls and place two inches apart on the baking sheet. Make an indent in the center of the cookie to place an unwrapped caramel and form the dough around it. Bake 12 to 14 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown.
If the pumpkin still needs to be in the Thanksgiving meal somewhere, try these simple pumpkin pie bars. It resembles pumpkin pie with a homemade crust and filling, but offers something with a little more spice. (Recipe courtesy of Some the Wiser blog.)
Crust Ingredients
SIMPLE PUMPKIN PIE BARS:
- 1 $ \frac{1}{3} $ cup unbleached white flour
- $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup brown sugar
- 1 stick of butter (softened)
**Filling Ingredients:**

The news organizations' letter to White House press secretary Jay Carney detailed a number of recent examples in which photographers weren't allowed to cover presidential events that were deemed "private" by administration officials — even though the White House indicated its newsworthiness by releasing its own photos of the same events.
WASHINGTON — Dozens of leading news organizations protested to the White House on Thursday against restrictions that sometimes keep journalists from taking pictures and video of President Barack Obama performing official duties. At the same time, two press groups urged their members to stop using official photos and video handed out by the White House, dismissing them as little more than "government propaganda."
"As surely as if they were placing a hand over a journalist's camera lens, officials in this administration are blocking the public

from having an independent view of important functions of the executive branch of government," the letter states, adding that the restrictions imposed by the Obama White House represent a major break from the practices of past administrations.
The news organizations said the White House limits on access raise constitutional concerns about infringement on First Amendment press freedoms and have "a direct and adverse impact on the public's ability to independently monitor and see what its government is doing."
The press coalition, which included The Associated Press, major broadcast and cable networks, wire services, online services and newspapers, said the access limits also undercut Obama's pledge to create a more transparent government, and impose "an arbitrary restraint and unwarranted interference on legitimate newsgathering activities."
The groups requested an immediate meeting with Carney on how
to restore full press access.
to restore full press access. Simultaneously, the presidents of the American Society of News Editors and the Associated Press Media Editors sent a letter to their members urging them to stop using handout photos and video from the White House.
"We must accept that we, the press, have been enablers," the ASNE-APME letter states. "We urge those of you in news organizations to immediately refrain from publishing any of the photographs or videos released by the White House, just as you would refuse to run verbatim a press release from them."
The AP has a policy against using handout photos from the White House unless they are of significant news value and shot in areas that the press doesn't expect to have access to, such as the Situation Room.
Obama spokesman Josh Earnest cast the news organizations' protests as part of the natural tension that exists between journalists and those they cover.

Comet ISON headed toward sun, celestial show possible
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — For months, all eyes in the sky have pointed at the comet that's zooming toward a blisteringly close encounter with the sun.
The moment of truth comes Thursdav — Thanks giving Day.
The sun-grazing Comet ISON, now thought to be less than a mile wide, will either fry and shatter, victim of the sun's incredible power, or endure and quite possibly put on one fabulous celestial show.
Talk about an astronomical cliffhanger.
Even the smartest scientists are reluctant to lay odds.
Should it survive, ISON, pronounced EYE*-sahn, would be visible with the naked eye through December, at least from the Northern Hemisphere. Discernible at times in November with ordinary binoculars and occasionally even just the naked eye, it already has dazzled observers and is considered the most scrutinized comet ever by NASA. But the best is, potentially, yet to come.
Detected more than a year ago, the comet is passing through the inner solar system for the first time. Still fresh, this comet is thought to bear the pristine matter of the beginning of our solar
system.
It's believed to be straight from the Oort cloud on the fringes of the solar system, home to countless icy bodies, most notably the frozen balls of dust and gas in orbit around the sun known as comets. For whatever reason, ISON was propelled out of this cloud and drawn toward the heart of the solar system by the sun's intense gravitational pull.
The closer the comet gets to the sun, the faster it gets.
In January, it was clocked at 40.000 mph.
Right around the time many Americans will be feasting on turkey, the comet will zip within 730,000 miles of the sun, less than the actual solar diameter. In other words, another sun wouldn't fit in the missed distance.
By last Thursday, with just a week to go, it had accelerated to 150,000
mph.
By the time ISON slingshots around the sun, it will be moving at a mind-boggling 828,000 mph. Whether it survives or is torn apart, earthlings have nothing to fear.
The comet will venture no closer to us than about 40 million miles, less than half the distance between Earth and the sun. That closest
approach to Earth will occur Dec. 26. Then it will head away in the opposite direction forever, given its anticipated trajectory once it flies by the sun.
ISON is named after the International Scientific Optical Network, used by a pair of Russian astronomers to detect the comet in September last year. But it officially is known as C/2012 S1, a designation indicating when it was discovered.
Take heart. The "C" means it is not expected here again.
NASA wasted no time jumping on ISON. The space agency's Deep Impact spacecraft observed ISON back in January from a distance of
about 500 million miles.
Since then, the observations have stacked up.
Among NASA's space telescopes taking a look: Swift, Hubble, Spitzer, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Solar and Heliospheric Observatory or SOHO, Chandra, Mercury-orbiting Messenger, and the Stereo twin spacecraft.
"Every spacecraft that has a camera, we're turning on it," said John Grunfeld, NASA's science mission director.

Inmates learn to launch tech firms from Silicon Valley pros
An inmate looks over materials on a business model canvas during a session of The Last Mile at San Quentin State Prison in San Quentin, Calif., on Nov. 7.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN QUENTIN, Calif. — The budding entrepreneurs wear blue sweatpants labeled "prisoner" and huge, flapping blue shirts. Their doors are triple locked, and lunch is a stale peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Complicating matters, participants in this growing Silicon Valley startup incubator are barred from the Internet.
Nonetheless, the program, launched by successful tech entrepreneurs for inmates north of San Francisco in the decaying San Quentin State Prison, has expanded, and a new session began this month in the gritty, downtown Los Angeles Twin Towers Correctional Facility.
The reason they're growing is simple: Graduates, now trickling out of the penal system, are landing real jobs at real dot-coms.
The rigorous, six-month training teaches carefully selected inmates the ins and outs of designing and launching technology firms, using local experts as volunteer instructors.
"We believe that when incarcerated people are released into the world, they need the tools to function in today's high-tech, wired world," says co-founder Beverly Parenti, who with her husband, Chris Redlitz, has launched thriving companies, including AdAuction, the first online media exchange.
The pair were Silicon Valley pioneers in the 1990s, and they tap their many high-level connections to help with the prison program they started the program after Redlitz was invited into San Quentin in 2011 for a guest lecture and was overwhelmed by the inmates' desire to learn.
"I figured, 'We work with young entrepreneurse every day. Why not here?' he recalled.
After discussions with prison administrators, Parenti and Reditz decided to add a prison-based firm to their portfolio, naming it for the precarious journey from prison to home: The Last Mile.
Now, during twice-a-week evening lessons, students — many locked up before smartphones or Google — practice tweeting, brainstorm new companies and discuss business books assigned as homework. Banned from the In
ternet to prevent networking with other criminals, they take notes on keyboard-like word processors or with pencil on paper.
The program is still "bootstrapping," as its organizers say, with just 12 graduates in its first two years and a few dozen in classes in San Quentin and Twin Towers. But the five graduates released so far are working in the tech sector.
They are guaranteed paid internships if they can finish the rigorous training program, which requires prerequisite courses, proven social skills and a lifetime oath to lead by positive example.
In one recent class, while thousands of inmates exercised or played chess in San Quentin's prison yard, students worked their way through a business model, pitching different technology concepts.
Tommy Winfrey, 35, who is serving 25 years to life for second-degree murder and hopes to be paroled in 2018, adjusted his eyeglasses and raised a tattooed arm. "I think an important part of our brand is going to be to give our customer a voice," he said, suggesting they share ideas on social media.
"What are the distribution channels?" challenged seminar leader Andrew Kaplan, a product marketing manager at LinkedIn. "What platforms or networks do we need to think about? Who are we trying to engage?"
On a Silicon Valley-style Demo Day, the startup students present ideas to investors, a demonstration that convinced former California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation director Matthew Cate he made the right decision to approve the training course.
"This program will go a long way to not only providing these guys
with jobs, but it is my hope that they hire people like them who have changed their lives and are now ready to contribute to society, pay taxes, follow the law, support their families. All those things contribute to the economy," he told participants after watching the 2012 Demo Day.
Inmates also learn the essential startup skills of blogging, in part by answering questions on Quora, a website that allows users and experts to communicate, by having volunteers input their entries. Without real businesses to discuss, thousands of readers ask the inmates questions such as: "What does it feel like to murder someone?"
"Murdering someone was the ultimate release for me," blogged David Monroe, 30, who killed a 16-year-old when he was 15. Over the long term, he added, the murder "has forever pitted my heart with regret and covered it in shame."
Just months after serving 24 years for repeat drug offenses and weapons possession, Chrisfina Kenyatta Leal fed his cat and ironed his shirt before hurrying off to catch a Bay Area Rapid Transit train in to his office in San Francisco.
Writing publically about their crimes, organizers say, helps the inmates move forward once they are released.
Red Lyon Tavern
644 Macdonald Street 785 R32 R028
Like the other entrepreneurs hurrying to meetings, tapping on computers and talking on smartphones at startup RocketSpace. Leal has a passion for technology and the possibilities it holds.

THE UNIVERSITY DAHY KANSAN S sports
COMMENTARY Black begins to accept new role
By Blake Schuster
bschuster@kansan.com
Welcome to Kansas basketball, Tarik Black. We've been waiting to
We've been waiting to see what you can do. It's not that anyone thought you couldn't play. Or that Lawrence wasn't the right place for you. It just took a few games to learn your new ground. That's understandable.
When a player is nearing 1000 points in college basketball, you're supposed to give them the benefit of the doubt. It was just expected that Black would return the benefits right from the start.
Black's six points and four rebounds against Towson looked much more impressive in person than they do on the stat sheet. His thunderous dunks in the opening minutes of the Kansas victory sparked an onslaught of scoring from above the rim.
This is what Jayhawks fans envisioned when Black transferred from Memphis after last season. This is the Tarik Black who 'Tigers' coach Josh Pastner raved about. The Tarik Black who fits perfectly into Bill Self's high-low system.
This is what was supposed to happen from day one. Black joins the Jayhawks, opens up room to score in the paint and grooms guys like Joel Embiid and Jamari Traylor to fill his spot next year.
It wasn't even shocking when in training camp Self announced that Black would have the chance to play as much as he wanted. It was almost expected.
And this wasn't the type of trouble you play through. Not with how deep the bench is for the lavhawks.
Instead, the new rules got to Black. Hard as he fought to clear the paint, he couldn't stop drawing calls. Black got into foul trouble during the preseason, he got into foul trouble during the Champions Classic and he got into foul trouble against Iona.
You could sense the frustration mounting for the big man. Game after game, he came out looking to make a difference on the floor only to end up on the bench by the first media timeout.
Things get a little tougher when your backup goes 7-7 from the field and picks up 13 rebounds like joel Embibid did against lona.
So against Towson, Black fought to show off what he transferred to Kansas to do in the first place: share some of the spotlight.
"As a basketball player I don't plan on coming out there and sitting on the side line," Black said after Kansas defeated Towson 88-58. "I was able to get on the court and do what I needed to do."
What he needed to do was clog up the paint on offense and defense. He accomplished that with a thunderous dunk in the opening minutes after stealing the ball from the Tigers' Marcus Damas.
From there Black was officially activated and he seemed to play without over-thinking or worrying for what was likely the first time all season.
"It got everything going." Black said of his opening dunk. "I feel that's what sparked everything because on the next play Wayne (Seiden) came down and had the two-handed dunk. It got the energy flowing and gave us the fun we want to have this year."

High-flying Jayhawks lob their way past Towson
BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com
"Lobrence, KS." cut out in huge white letters.
High in section 21 of Allen Fieldhouse - the last few rows of student seating - the sign went up.
The Jayhawks took the court at the same time the sign debuted and barely noticed, but the rest of the crowd was enthralled.
It was either an ominous warning for Towson, or someone tipped those students off to the Jayhawks game plan: Go up, throw down and repeat.
For the first 20 minutes that's all Kansas seemed to do. A quick pass from Naadir Tharpe, or a dunk from Tarik Black, Wayne Selden Jr, or Andrew Wiggins. It was a pick your highlight type of
mgnt as No. 2 Kansas defeated Towson 88-58.
"We were aggressive, ran the floor, threw lobs and played hard," Wiggins said after a team leading 16-point performance. "It's our nature. We just always think attack and drive. We play for each other."
Kansas was on the cusp of an explosive performance, especially after clobbering lona with alley-oops in the second half last Tuesday. In that game the Jayhawks outscored their opponent by 20 points. Against Towson, they upped that to 30 – at one point leading by 39.
Every other top five team has recorded a victory of 30 points or more in this young season - a bar that's expected to be met against lesser challengers.
None of which is to say that
Kansas hadn't played a good game yet, only that it hadn't played a complete game. That much was quashed as the jayhawks shoved aside the Tigers. Bullied them out
"If there's a better team in the country I'd like to find out who they are, but I wouldn't like to play them."
PAT SKERRY
TOWSON HEAD COACH
of Lawrence like a group of kids who wouldn't let anyone else play with the toys in their clubhouse. "They were locked in tonight," Towson coach Pat Skerry said. "If there's a better team in the
country I'd like to find out who they are, but I wouldn't like to play them."
Kansas toyed with the rim, the 3-point line (7-16) and of course the Tigers, whose plan of attack blew up in the first few minutes.
"The plan was to get into a half-court defensive war and then try to push it." Jerrelle Benimon said who led Towson with 21 points. "We weren't making shots so we couldn't really keep them out of transition."
Which is what made the "Lobrence" sign so timely. After every missed Towson shot, and every failed attempt by the Tigers to crash the glass, Kansas started running.
An outlet pass from Joel Embiid, a dunk by Andrew Wiggins, or Andrew White III, or Tarik Black or Wayne Selden Jr. and
jump back on defense. It was like watching a dog fall for the same trick again and again.
The Jayhawks combined for 19 assists while scoring 29 points on the fast break. Towson mustered just eight points in transition.
"I'd like to say I've been working with him," Kansas coach Bill Sell said of Embild's passing. "It's instinctive. He's just smart like that. He understands, he's got feel. He was good at it tonight."
So the Jayhawks kept going up. Soaring over the floor while their opponents helplessly looked on down below.
Maybe those kids holding up the sign knew what was coming. Or maybe they were just damn lucky.
"We looked athletic," Self said. "I think that the first time all year."

Fridged temperatures stiffen Kansas offense
CONNOR OBERKROM
coberkrom@kansan.com
After a cold night in Ames, Iowa, Kansas once again finds itself in the cellar of the Big 12.
2
The field at Jack Trice Stadium was icy, close to the second coming of the frozen tundra: Lambeau Field. Taking any misdirection on the field almost always resulted into a stumble-fest, where getting full traction on the field was near impossible.
The temperature was frigid the whole night, plummeting to a wind chill of -7 degrees in the second half, but a lot more things went unfavorably for Kansas than merely the field conditions.
EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN
"We lost 34-0," senior offensive linemen Gavin Howard said. "The field wasn't the reason we got killed."
Freshman quaterback Montell Cozart takes a snap during Saturday's loss against Iowa State. Cozard was 4-12 passing totaling 20 yards.
Head coach Charlie Weis certainly saw the field as an obstacle, but didn't see it fit for an excuse of why Kansas got walloped 34-0 by Iowa State.
"I really didn't feel like the weather itself was a factor." Weis
Coupled with the scary cold weather was the dangerously futile Kansas offense, which had five drives inside Iowa State's territory in the first half but failed to muster any points. This was Kansas' first shutout on the wrong end Texas defeated the Jayhawks 43-0 in 2011.
said. "I thought the field was a factor. But both teams played on the same field, obviously Iowa State did a much better job of handling the field."
In Montell Cozart's first road start as a Jayhawk, he struggled and had statistically his worst game of the season. Cozart saw some lanes open early on, but two mistakes in the first half spelled out the freshman quarterback's rough night.
Kansas was driving inside of Iowa State's territory and had a third down to push the ball into the red zone. On a 3rd-and-10, Cozart tucked it and dashed toward the sidelines, but as he neared the first down marker, he stepped out of bounds just a yard short.
Cozart had an open cutback lane, but never saw it. Weis challenged the spot and lost, and one play later James Sims was stuffed on fourth down as Kansas again failed to muster anything.
The next blunder came when Cozart overthrew his receiver by a few yards at the end of the half resulting in an interception. Iowa State was only up 10-0 at the break, but missed opportunities defined the half.
Cozart finished the game four of 12 for 20 yards and after Weis figured that running to the outside wasn't working partly due to the field conditions, Cozart was yanked for Jake Heaps midway through the third quarter.
Kansas totaled just 279 total yards and was three-16 on third downs as it saw itself fall in last place in the Big 12 once again. A win versus Kansas State next weekend is the only thing that will change that.
Iowa State, which didn't have much impediments of moving the ball, struck first guided by a 58-yard pass from Grant Rohach
Weis mentioned that this loss will only be emotional blow for one day and that it will be well

aware in preparing for the Sunflower Showdown.
"Anytime you're playing your arch rival, it shouldn't take much to rally the troops." Weis said. "If it does then you really have a problem."

THE MORNING BREW
Free agency is a beautiful time. Let s be honest, it's also the coolest time of any video game. Being able to throw millions of dollars at players to get them to join your son and win it all.
No money is thrown around more than in the MLB.
By Ben Allen
ballen@kansan.com
The Kansas City Royals were good last year: solid offense, and even more solid pitching. It really does not matter how good you are though if you do not make it to the playoffs.
Dayton Moore, the highly scrutinized general manager of the Royals, made a few off season moves last year to help them rope in James Shields and Ervin Santana. The two made a substantial impact last season. Well it's that same time this year and the Royals have some moves to make if they want to be in the playoffs next year, or even close in on the same record as last season.
The biggest thing they need to do is retain Ervin Santana, which will likely not happen. Posting a 3.24 ERA Santana is widely con-
suedered a top 3 free agent pitcher, so losing him would be huge.
In order to combat that move, the Royals signed Jason Vargas, a long time innings-eater. Vargas, in terms of Royals history, is much like a Gil Meche, except for not quite as good. Vargas is a guy who eats innings and throw strikes and if you give him a couple runs. He's a decent number four staff guy. This is a nice move but not fully what they need.
The Royals already missed out on the Josh
Johnson, Tim Hudson lottery, but that doesn't mean all of the low-risk-high-reward guys are gone.
Guys like Bartolo Colon and Roy Halladay are long time veterans with a lot of miles on them, but are capable of adding the one thing Kansas City desperately needs: wins.
The pitching staff is still the strength of the team regardless of Santana's return or not. That doesn't mean they should be done signing pitchers though.
THE BREW
The offense as well could use a pick-me-up. Though second base may still be the biggest gap in the offense, the only available free agent upgrade will be Omar Infante. Infante, who is rumored to be interested in KC, is a versatile guy who can play just about anywhere other than catcher but his MO is speed and average, not power.
There is one bopper the Royals would love to have for one more go-round. Carlos Beltran, the 36-year-old now corner outfielder, appears to be done with the other Missouri team after they made moves to grab Peter Bourjos. Beltran helped the Royals to a winning record back in '03. Beltran would be the perfect corner outfielder and middle of the lineup bat moving forward into next year. If the Royals swing and miss on Beltran, Nate McLouth-esque player
a Nate McCourt-resque player would complement the team quite well.
would complement the team quite well. The Royals may not strike gold this offseason.The challenge will be if Dayton Moore can get the mid-level type guys like Infante and Colon who can lead the team to its first post season in years.

Saturday's climate did not lend itself to a great cross-country race, but junior Reid Buchanan didn't mind, or at least that's what his finish time would suggest. Even in strong wind, rain and the bitter cold, Buchanan earned the best NCAA Championship finish by a Jayhawk

Buchanan, the only Jayhawk to compete at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, finished the 10k course in 31.44.0, averaging 5.06 per mile. Had he finished a few places higher, he would have cemented his name in Jayhawk history, becoming the program's 27th All-American. But that is what next year is all about; tying up loose ends and

accomplishing the goals that he and his team missed on this season.
"I didn't get out very well at the start of the race, but I thought I closed well in the last 500 meters or so." Buchanan said following his 142nd place finish. "I think having a team there to run with and fight for when the conditions are tough would have really helped today. That will definitely be the goal for next
year."
The rest of the Kansas cross-country team stayed at home while Buchanan made the trip up north. Former Big 12 member Colorado took home its fourth national title in school history on the men's side. Providence took home the championship on the women's side after finishing as the runner-up in 2012. With Buchanan's NCAA Championship
experience, and a lot of other talent returning next season, the Jayhawks could qualify for the race as a team next year.
The Jayhawks now transition their focus to the indoor track season. The team will return to action at the Bob Timmons Challenge on Saturday, Dec. 7; inside the cozy confines of Anschutz Sports Pavilion.

Jayhawks bring in final victory against Texas Tech
BLAIR SHEADE
bsheade@kansan.com
The last time the 2014 senior class and the No. 22 Jayhawks played in Horejsi Athletic Center was Saturday, and Kansas beat Texas Tech 25-19,25-11,25-23.
After the win, coach Ray Bechard said this years' seniors are the most successful class in program history. In honor of redshirt senior Caroline Jarmoc, who is a Calgary, Canada native, a Canadian flag hung in the rafters next to the American flag, and "O Canada" played prior to "The Star Spangled Banner" for the first time all season.
"It was awesome to hear," Jarmoc said. "I'm far away from home and it's really nice that they showed their appreciation for me and showed respect to my country."
Senior day shows what the program will be missing next season, but the future looks bright for the Jayhawks. Freshman middle blocker Taylor Soucie came into Saturday three blocks shy of the Kansas record for
the most blocks by a jayhawk in a debut season, which was set by none other than Jarmoc with 115 total blocks. Souci blocked two balls in the first set to tie the record. In the second set, she blocked her way into Kansas's volleyball history and ended the game with six total blocks.
"I feel I've come a long way from blocking." Soucie said. "Just from coming in early and working with coach Byrd and Jar."
Souci, who was named Big 12 Conference Rookie of the Week Nov 18, didn't record an error until the third set and ended the day with a career-high 13 kills on 22 attempts. Souci's .500 hitting percentage was her seventh match with a .500 or above hitting percentage.
"She has been pretty good here [from] day one," Bechard said. "Erin (McNorton) trusted her on set point back-to-back times and she delivered... She's competitive and confident and has a great future ahead of her."
unnoticed with all the focus on her predecessors, but a feeling of a torch being passed from Jarmoc to Soucie was noticeable.
"I can thank [Caroline] for everything that I'm accomplishing." Soucie said. "Watching the things she does and the way she pushes me to get better. She never says 'you're just a freshman so that's ok,' no she pushes me to become just like her"
Soucie's accomplishments went
The Jayhawks have one remaining home match, but the match will be played at Allen Fieldhouse for the first time since the 2012 NCAA tournament matches. The Jayhawks will host Denver University on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
"You do it to promote the sport first and foremost," Bechard said when asked about playing in the Fieldhouse. "We get more fans in there and that's one of our criteria as a program, how are we promote the sport in this region... Denver is excited about that too."

BASKETBALL
Kansas bench contributes to early success
BRIAN HILLIX
bhillix@kansan.com
One of Kansas' most glaring weaknesses last season has quickly turned into one of its biggest strengths.
The Kansas bench has outscored its opponent in every game so far this season. For the year, the Jayhawk reserves have scored 137 points compared to just 70 for the opponents.
The bench matched its total against Iona and finished with 39 points on 61-percent shooting from the floor on Friday. The 39 points was nine more than the 30 scored by the Towson starters.
"Our bench was pretty good," coach Bill Self said. "They were probably as good as our starters in the first half."
Towson forward Jerrelle Benimon was caught off guard by the amount of players that Self could send into the ball game.
"They have good depth," Benimon said. "I didn't realize they played that many players."
The Kansas bench has reached at least 25 points in every game this season.
Andrew White III played just 14 minutes but ended the night in double figures with 13 points on 3-4 from 3-point range. He checked in and quickly scored 10 points during Kansas' explosive first half. White III leads the team with seven 3-pointers for the season.
"I thought Andrew White came in and gave us some good minutes" Self said.
Joel Embidd came off of his double-double performance and had another efficient outing as he totaled eight points on 4-for-5 shooting. His most impressive stat came on the defensive side as he finished with a game-high three blocks.
"They've got some good length up front," Benimon said. "The
freshman kid blocked shots really well, he runs pretty good, too."
Embid said the coaches have been working to help him become the dynamic shot-blocker they know he can be.
"They have been showing me what to work on along with showing me film of how Jeff Withey did it," Embiid said. "They tell me to stay on the ground and not to go for it on shot fakes."
Frank Mason provided another spark to the team and finished with a game-high six assists.
This game is right for the last season, Kansas played with a predominantly seven-man rotation with Naadir Tharpe and Jamari Traylor coming off the bench. This year, Self has as many as 10 players that could see significant minutes.
With Elijah Johnson struggling last season, Tharpe proved to be the only capable backup at the guard spot. Traylor would be the first post player off the bench with Perry Ellis receiving occasional minutes. Self wouldn't go deeper than eight players on most nights.
This year is a different story as the Jayhawks have depth in the entire lineup.
Embiid and Traylor have proved to be reliable backups to Tarik Black when he gets into foul trouble. Many believe Embiid will earn a spot in the starting five by mid-season. Trayler came up big against Duke and will continue to bring energy and athleticism off the bench.
Self can now bring in up to four guards from the bench. Mason provides a solid backup to Tharpe at the point guard position. White III, Frankamp and Greene are long-range shooters who have shown promise.

Game slips away as players slide on icy field CONNOR OBERKROM AND CHRIS HYBL coberkrom@kansan.com; chybl@kansan.com
OFFENSE: F-
Is that a possible grade? Because the Jayhawks deserved it. Against the seventh worst rushing team in all of college football, Kansas was blanked -- big fat zero. Kansas gained only 187 rushing yards against the same Iowa State team that gave up more than 400 yards on the ground to Oklahoma just a week before. Not to mention there was a resurgence of quarterback changes. Michael Cummings even played in the game. Iowa State had given up over 20 points to every opponent it had played this season before Kansas. Kansas was and should be embarrassed after this performance.
This is up there with Kansas' worst defensive performance of the year. Kansas allowed 34 points, the second most Iowa State has scored in a game this season. It was an especially embarrassing performance for the Jayhawks considering how the defense has developed a reputation as somewhat of a strength for Kansas. Kansas gave up 300 yards passing to a backup quarterback that went 15 for 20. Yikes.
DEFENSE: F-
It is almost baffling how Kansas gets blanked against the worst team in the Big 12. There was a clear lack of preparation on the Kansas side of the field and it led to quite an ugly result. That lack of preparation now leaves Kansas right where it was before its win over West Virginia: in the dumps.
SPECIAL TEAMS: C
COACHING: F
EMILY WITTLER/KANSAN
From the way the rest of the Jayhawks' units were playing, it really didn't matter how well this unit performed. Not any spectacular kick returning, but they kept Iowa State to -1 yards gained on punt returns. But in all actuality, special teams can't upend a performance like this from the rest of the Kansas team.
Man, this one is tough. Not a whole lot of positives to extract from this game. Maybe, perhaps that the Kansas' receivers are doing a better job of getting open in space. Andrew Turzilli has shown some ability to separate from defenders, but Cozart had Turzilli twice in the end zone for potential scores, but failed to connect, leaving Kansas with zero points.
GLASS HALF FULL
Cozart, the defense and the drops. Cozart has an arm, that much is obvious. But his accuracy is far from adequate as his multiple overthrows plagued the Kansas offense, which had chances—having five drives in Iowa State's territory in the first half. The defense, which played in what looked like frozen tundra, didn't have that extra step, getting burned on a several passes, including Ben Heeney on a 58-yard touchdown pass.

GAMEBALL
James Sims rushed for 114 yards, most of them coming in the first half when the Jayhawks successfully moved the ball. Sims is the first Kansas player to rush for 1,000 yard in back-to-back seasons. Sims was the only hope for the Kansas offense, as the field was like a minefield, allowing for few cutbacks. The senior did about all he could and has one final game left until his college career is over.
STAT OF THE DAY
219 yards gained by James Sims on Saturday. It was a career day for Sims, and with his career clock at Kansas ticking down, it was an unforgettable performance.
Early in the third quarter, Montell Cozart had a wide-open immay Mundine and all Cozart had to do was ease it right to him, but instead misfired. The ball flew way over Mundine's head and was nowhere near catchable. Cozart had some highlights, but they certainly didn't overshadow the lowlights.
DELAY OF GAME
As far Charlie Weis' signature wins at Kansas go, there probably hasn't been one, but this week provides a great opportunity. Weis is in dire need of a win against Kansas State this Saturday. Winning would be an encouraging sign, but losing would just churn the skepticism to another level heading into next year.
LOOKING AHEAD
GOOD, BAD OR PLAIN STUPID
Freshman football players can tend to make mistakes, but when it's a quarterback, problems can tend to get magnified, fair or unfair. Kansas had a third-and-10 inside Iowa State's territory and were pushing to get the red zone. Cozart tucked the ball and dashed toward the sidelines and as he was close to the first down and had the angle, he stepped out of bounds, one yard short. The next play, Weis decided to go for it and James Sims was stuffed short and the drive was over.
FINAL THOUGHT
VERDICT: JUST PLAIN STUPID
Slick conditions freeze Kansas' defense in Ames
This was about as embarrassing of a loss as a program that's trying to turn the corner could have. Not only did Kansas get blown out, but it just didn't seem to have the effort as was evident with the rampant amount of drops later in the game. Luckily for Kansas, it can redeem itself with a win over Kansas State this weekend, but the stakes are higher than ever to get this program lifted from the bottom.
FOOTBALL
MAX GOODWIN

The temperature was eight degrees in Ames, Iowa., at the kickoff of Kansas' 34-0 loss to Iowa State, and ice seemed to play a factor.
During the game it dropped as low as 4 degrees. Before the game, several Kansas players ran shirtless on the field. But the Jayhawks didn't handle the conditions as confidently during the game.
"You know, really it wasn't that bad out there as far as temperature," Weis said. "I mean it was cold, but there was no wind. I really didn't feel like the weather itself was a factor."
On a play in the second quarter, Iowa State quarterback Grant Rohach was nearly within reach of sophomore linebacker Jake Love for a sack, until Rohach made a move up field to his right and Love went sliding passed him on the icy field.
Rohach launched a 58-yard touchdown pass to running back Aaron Wimberly.
After the game Charlie Weis said he didn't believe the field was a factor on that specific play, but said he wouldn't know for sure until he watched the game on tape.
It certainly wasn't the only play that showed how slick the field at
Jack Trice Stadium was Saturday night.
"I think that they did a much better job of handling the field than we did, obviously," Weis said after the game. "I felt like the field was a factor, but both teams are playing on the same field."
Both teams were playing on the same field, but the advantage Iowa State had may have had something to do with the cleats they were wearing.
"I felt like the field was a factor, but both teams are playing on th same field"
"I just think that their cleats were a little bit more suitable for the field and the conditions," junior cornerback Jacorey Shepherd said when asked why the Iowa State players didn't seem to be slipping on the field as much.
CHARLIE WEIS Kansas coach
The field conditions affected
Shepherd said it looked like a lot of the players for Iowa State had metal screw-in cleats on their shoes, while the Kansas players used the same cleats they normally do.
Shepherd as much as anybody, as he spent most of his time on the worst parts of it as a cornerback.
"Outside of the numbers it was a lot more frozen," Shepherd said. "It was a lot more difficult to come out of breaks. Really, for me it was difficult to do just about anything. If you didn't get your feet wide enough then you were going to end up slipping. Playing corner, I'm always on the numbers and out, so I was pretty much on the frozen part of the field the whole game."
As Iowa State continued to score, Kansas threw more passes, and eventually Weis was forced to bring junior quarterback Jake Heaps in for freshman Montell Cozart, as Cozart struggled to run to the outside edge of the field and with accuracy.
On offence, the Jayhawks had success running the ball with senior James Sims inside, where the field wasn't so slick, but that was in the first half when score was still just 10-0.
Iowa State was more prepared for the conditions than the Kansas. The field wasn't an excuse for losing, but it was a factor.
"It's unfortunate." Weis said, "but you can't make it an excuse because both teams were playing on the same field."

Sporting KC defeats Dynamo, advances to MLS Cup final
BEN FELDERSTEIN bfelderstein@kansan.com
Sporting Park will become the first stadium ever to host the MLS All-Star Game, the U.S. MLS National Team and the MLS cup all in the same calendar year This was made possible by Sporting's 2-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo in Saturday's Eastern Conference final matchup. Sporting won both the match and the series aggregate 2-1. Sporting Park will host the MLS Cup on Dec. 7.
Sporting Kansas City and the Houston Dynamo went into Saturday's matchup with the aggregate tied at 0-0. This put Sporting in a great position, only needing a one-goal victory at home in Sporting Park.
"It wasn't an easy game to play in, and we got a result," head coach Peter Vernes said on the previous matchup. "Now, it doesn't mean anything. Now, it's just a final at home."
time Dynamo got off to a quick start with a goal in the third minute from midfielder Oscar Garcia. Garcia took the pass from midfielder Brad Davis and caught Sporting goalie Jimmy Nielsen off guard.
Sporting was able to get their equalizer in the 14th minute. Forward C.J. Sapong was able to finish strong on a deflection off the Dynamo goalkeeper.
sporting is undefeated this season when Sapong scores. When Vermes was asked about that statistic, he
said, "I hadn't heard that stat before. I'm going to make sure to tell C.J. to score [in the MLS Cup final] then." In the 37th minute, Houston's Garcia received the first yellow card of the game for a hard challenge on Kansas City's defender Seth Sinovic.
The first half ended with the score tied at one goal apiece. Sporting led possession 57 percent to 43 percent. Kansas City was able to put up seven shots on goal compared to
HEAD COACH
PETER VERMES
"Houston's been a thorn in our side. It seems like everything between us two comes down to not even a battle anymore. It's a war, and we got the better of them this time."
Both teams entered the second half seeking that elusive go-ahead score. Houston forward Cam Weaver neutralized one of Sporting's strengths, which is balls in the air. Weaver matched Kansas City's defender Aurelien Collin on every opportunity. The teams went back and forth without any serious scoring opportunities for the first 15 minutes of the half.
Houston's five.
Sporting broke through in the 63rd minute on a beautifully assisted goal from midfielder Benny Feilhaber to forward Dom Dwyer.
Dwyer was able to take the pass, shake a defender and score.
"Benny just chipped the ball through." Dwyer said. "I switched from my right foot to left and calmly finished."
sporting quickly shifted to a defensive mindset knowing that all it had to do was pitch a shutout the rest of the way to advance to the MLS Cup.
Nielsen was able to make a terrific diving save in the 80th minute to keep Sporting ahead. In the 83rd minute, Feilhaber was subbed out for defender Ike Opara. Opara made his presence known quickly, clearing the ball out of the box on the very next Dynamo possession. Defender Eric Brunner was given Houston's second yellow card in the 85th.
Sporting spent the last few minutes killing the clock and Dynamo possessions. Nielsen sent the final goal kick of the game across midfield as the referee blew the final whistle.
"Houston's been a thorn in our side," Vermes said. "It seems like everything between us two comes down to not even a battle anymore. It's a war, and we got the better of them this time."
The defense was as sharp as it had been all year. In the end, Sporting was able to defeat its rivals from Houston. It was finally Kansas City's turn to send the Dynamo home early.

Student initiates petition to change photo lab policy
CODY KUIPER
ckuiper@kansan.com
A change this summer in policy at the School of Architecture, Design and Planning has motivated a University student to take action.
Matt Branham, a junior majoring in ceramics from Kirkwood, Mo., has submitted a petition to several University deans to change a policy that now charges students outside the school to use the photo lab in the Art and Design Building.
"This past summer, I went and they said I would have to set up an appointment on Friday and give them some money," Branham said. "I thought it was a miscommunication, so I told them I was going to be sending them an angry email."
Branham found that it wasn't a miscommunication, though. Under a new rule change, students in the Visual Arts department, as well as other schools, are not able to take photographs of their own artwork free of charge as they previously were. Now, they instead must make a reservation on a Friday for a lab staff member to photograph their work,
and must pay $10 an hour.
After learning of the lab's new policy over the summer, Branham sent a mass email to the approximately 150 Visual Art students in the fall letting them know he was starting a petition to challenge the new rules. He has since collected 127 signatures from those students and submitted them to leaders in the Design Department, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Architecture, Design and Planning and the Office of the Provost.
The photography lab is operated by the School of Architecture, Design and Planning. The Visual Art department and Design department used to both fall under the umbrella of the School of Fine Arts, but, in 2009, the Design department split off into the School of Architecture, Design and Planning and the Visual Arts department moved to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.
Branham said the new policy greatly affects the Visual Arts students because they use the lab to document their artwork and submit it for internships, residencies and graduate school applications. He said being able to photograph one's
own work is vital to the students education, and the alternatives they have to the photo lab just aren't cutting it.
"It's kind of insane, because after undergrad we are not going to be hiring photographers to shoot our work," he said. "Most of us have cameras, but we need the physical studio like the lighting, backdrop and walls to shoot our work. As of this semester, my work has had to be shot off of the free-standing wall in our sculpture area and it's not very presentable, so I wouldn't feel comfortable submitting it to any sort of program."
Chris Burke, a senior from Olathe majoring in ceramics, said he has been using the lab to photograph his work all four years at the University, and that the new change came as a shock to him.
"That's a tool we utilize to prepare our future, and I feel like they're kind of robbing us of that," Burke said. "Without spending a lot of money it's hard to take pictures of your work now, which has become such an important part of the artistic process."
John Gaunt, dean of the School of
Architecture, Design and Planning said the change in the lab's policy is used to cover the cost of expensive technological equipment for students.
"We have a large amount of very sophisticated photographic equipment, so the cost of technology is very high at the University," Gaunt said. "That's the purpose of the technology fees for our courses. So we thought a $10 cost for photography for various students would be modest and a fair cost."
"I'm not anxious to impose any cost on students that I don't think to be absolutely necessary and appropriate," he said. "I think to remove the cost would be unfair to other students as it relates to photography. Every other course in the school has a course fee associated with it, and the whole point is to cover the photographer costs, the photographic equipment and so on."
The sculpture is composed of interconnected metal rods and plates, arranged in a dynamic pose to convey movement and energy. It is mounted on a rectangular pedestal with a flat base. The artwork measures approximately 10 feet in height and 6 feet in width.
Gaunt added that he plans to meet with Branham about the issue, but the school has no plans to change the policy as a result of the petition.

University employees make Kansas top 10 earners list
ASHLEIGH TIDWELL atidwell@kansan.com
The Wichita Eagle recently published a compiled list of the top 10 highest-paid employees at each of the six public universities in Kansas (KU Medical Center was included but considered a separate institution). Of the top 10, eight are from the University of Kansas. The list places Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger in the top spot at the University with a salary
of $450,000, while Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little comes in second at $432,650.
In fact, of all seven institutions, the University is the only one where the president, chancellor or appointive state agency head does not top the list. Including the numbers from the Medical Center, the chancellor is also surpassed by Doug Girod, executive vice chancellor of the KU Medical Center and the highest-paid university employee in the state,
and Matthew Mayo, chairperson of the Department of Biostatistic
of the Department of Biostatistics.
According to the American Association of University Professors, the average annual pay for a full professor at a public institution is $212,000, and CNN Money marked the average annual pay of university presidents in 2011-12 at $441,392. This essentially puts the University even with the national average.

K-TAG adds convenience to holiday highway travel
TRANSPORTATION
KAITLYN KLEIN
kklein@kansan.com
Many students will be traveling in the coming months to visit family over Thanksgiving and winter break, which means deciding what route to take when driving from Lawrence to home, or the airport.
The Kansas Turnpike is the only road in Kansas that requires drivers to pay a toll, but it also lets them travel at a higher speed and arrive at their destination faster.
But what about time spent at the toll scrambling to find loose change in a cup holder? Drivers can avoid that hassle and potential traffic by purchasing a K-TAG.
A K-TAG is a decal that drivers put on their window to digitally log how often they use the tumpike. It also allows them to bypass tollbooths and pay a monthly rate for traveling on the highway.
Rachel Bell, communications manager of the Kansas Turnpike Authority, said they are encouraging people to buy K-TAGs because of their efficiency.
"We can move more traffic through the interchange electronically," she said.
It's also cheaper for the KTA and drivers if people use K-TAGS. Bell said drivers save an average of 20 percent with a K-TAG, although it varies slightly depending on which toll checkpoints they use.
The Kansas Turnpike requires tolls because it was funded differently than most roads that are paid for with taxes. The Turnpike was funded by bonds.
Now that the initial costs of the highway have been paid off, drivers continue to pay tolls for its maintenance and upkeep.
Bell said the KTA generally raises toll rates modestly every three years so that, if major projects arise, drivers won't be blinded by a huge increase in toll fees.
"We try to provide the best road that we can so we can keep everybody moving." Bell said.
Another benefit that Bell reminds people of during this time of year: "You don't have to roll your window down to get a ticket or pay - you
Sarah Bowersox, a sophomore from Derby, said taking the Kansas Turnpike saves her a half an hour or more when she goes home.
stay nice and warm."
K-TAGs cost $15 and charge drivers monthly for each time they pass through the toll checkpoints. Drivers who travel frequently on the Turnpike and spend more than $10 on tolls can prepay $40 and save on the price of the K-TAG itself.
Bowersox said she thinks the K-TAG is an investment that's well worth it.
"My step dad seems to think it's worth the money and I certainly do because it saves me a lot of time instead of being caught behind other cars or semis," Bowersox said. Students interested in buying a K-TAG can purchase one at the tollbooth next time they use the Turnpike, go to a Kansas triple-A office or buy one online at ksturnpike.com.

Bilingual skills can combat dementia
KYLE PAPPAS
kpappas@kansan.com
A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Edinburgh has strengthened the theory that the onset of dementia can be delayed for bilingual speakers.
The study took a sample group of 648 patients with dementia, 391 of whom were bilingual, and assessed when individuals first showed symptoms. They then compared results between monolingual and bilingual groups.
The first signs of the disease appeared, on average, 4.5 years later in bilingual patients than in monolingual patients.
"There has been a lot of focus in psychology lately on the bilingual advantage," said Susan Kemper, a Roberts distinguished professor of psychology at the University. "That advantage holds up as individuals age and pushes back the age at which one may develop dementia and Alzheimer's disease."
Bilingual advantage suggests that bilingual speakers are better than monolingual speakers at certain cognitive functions. Most of these advantages are in the brain's executive functions, which control things such as your inhibition, conflict resolution and multitasking.
The Edinburgh study is the first
to show that bilingual speakers who are illiterate gain the same benefits from speaking two languages as do those that are able to read and write.
"There's just still so much that we don't understand," she said. "Why are illiterate people affected the same way? Do you have to speak an equal amount of each language? We just don't know."
Kemper said this is one of the many unknowns when it comes to the bilingual advantage.
"What's happening with bilingualism isn't particular to cognitive skill or ability, you're just building a better brain," Kemper said. "Education does the same thing. There's a big cognitive difference between someone with a Ph.D. and someone with a high school diploma."
The study builds on research conducted by Canadian neuroscientist Ellen Bialystok in 2011, which showed speaking two languages can reconfigure the brain network in a way that positively affects cognitive function
Unfortunately, for the trilingual and beyond, the study revealed that there are no added benefits for those who speak more than two languages.

Shooting hoax at Yale causes short lockdown
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Yale University was locked down for nearly six hours Monday as authorities investigated a phone call saying an armed man was heading to shoot it up, a warning they later said was likely a hoax.
SWAT teams searching the lvy League campus didn't find a gunman after a room-by-room search, and the lockdown was lifted Monday afternoon. No one was injured, police said.
"New Haven is safe. The Yale campus is safe," New Haven police Chief Dean Esmard said.
A 911 call was received at 9:48 a.m. from a man at a pay phone about a mile from the campus who said his roommate was on the way to the university to shoot people, Officer David Hartman said.
Esserman said he was leaning toward the incident being a hoax and a witness who reported seeing someone with a rifle likely saw a law enforcement officer.
"Though it is starting to tilt in the direction of an innocent mistake, it started with a purposeful and malicious call." Esserman said, vowing to track down and arrest the person who made the call.
Authorities don't believe that the caller was a Yale student or that his
Classes aren't in session this week, and many students and staff members left campus for the Thanksgiving holiday following Saturday's traditional football game against Harvard.
But many students were still in their dorm rooms, Hartman said, and Yale authorities sent out their first warning about half an hour after the 911 call.
Yale advised students and staff members to shelter in place. It also issued an advisory asking people off campus to stay away. The shelter advisory was lifted by late afternoon
roommate attended Yale, Esserman said. There was nothing specific about the threat, he said, and the call lasted only seconds.
"The Yale police made the right call," Esserman said. "They went to immediate lockdown to keep everybody safe."
Police blocked off several streets near the university's Old Campus, in the heart of New Haven, where they were concentrating their search. Several local schools also were placed in lockdown. Police in tactical gear entered several campus buildings. Pedestrian traffic in the normally bustling area was sparse, with cold and windy weather keeping many people indoors.

Study pinpoints Black Friday shopping habits

JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
On Black Friday, the most crowded shopping day of the year, all precepts of personal space are often violated as consumers get caught up in the frenzy.
Stores like Walmart will be having Black Friday sales that attract shopper looking to save money on items. Biological defense mechanisms can be activated by the irregular crowd sizes, according to research.
"Sometimes I think people go to the extreme," Wichita freshman Morgan Anderson said.
For the past four years, Anderson has stood in line each Black Friday awaiting deals at 3 a.m. She is well aware of the Black Friday hype.
"I personally am not going to lose my sense of humanity over a good deal, but I might run a little to get there," Anderson said.
According to Ahreum Maeng, assistant professor in the School of Business, the discomfort shoppers feel on Black Friday is natural because their personal space is being violated.
"When strangers in a shopping mall get too close to you, a defensive mechanism is most likely [going] to be activated" Maeng said. "It's kind of a biological, primitive avoidance motivation."
Maeng added that this stimulation of a defense mechanism can actually change consumer behavior.
In her research of consumer decisions in crowded situations, Maeng found that people adopted a prevention-focused mindset when their personal space was invaded.
One example, Maeng explained, would be shoppers tending to choose a shampoo that prevents hair loss over one that enriches hair in a crowded shopping situation such as Black Friday.
In other words, Maeng said people become less likely to take risks and rely on concrete thinking instead of abstract processing.
"When it comes to Black Friday, consumers are more likely to focus on the lower-level concrete information of the product, which could influence their purchasing decision," Maeng said.
According to Maeng, retailers who understand this consumer behavior can advertise their products specifically to shoppers in a crowded situation.
Consumers process information in two ways: high-level abstract and low-level concrete forms of thinking. With high-level abstract information processing, consumers consider things like the overall effect of the product, such as the brand value. At low-level concrete processing, however, consumers look at details such as how cheap the price is.
"You can strategically manipulate people's perception in how you communicate and sell your product more effectively,depending on the

situation, there is not a lot of time to look at the benefits of everything." Anderson said. "A lot of the time the price captives me more than the actual product."
For consumers who are overwhelmed by choices on Black Friday, knowing these promotional tactics can help them avoid being lured in unawares.
"I don't know how many consumption decisions typical students are making, but just being aware of the social environment they are influenced by — that may influence their decision," Maeng said.
As for Anderson, she tries to limit impulse purchases by planning weeks in advance, coming up with the list of deals she wants to get and devising a plan of attack to get exactly what she wants.
"I always try to have a list because I think that's the best econo-thing to do." Anderson said. "I have to be more conscientious about the stuff I'm purchasing because, when it comes down to it, we are broke college kids."

University should provide free printing for students
As students at the University of Kansas, we are privileged in our access to top-of-the line educational resources. According to KU's 2012 financial report, which can be found on the KU website, the University spent $256,168,351 in research expenditures. Basically, the University funded over $250 million in 2012 alone on student and faculty research projects that aim to enlighten, explore and broaden our knowledge of the world. This spending, according to a Forbes poll, ranks us at 118th among both private and public schools in the U.S., in regards to research spending. These are stats that we should be proud of, but they also raise a question in my
mind. If KU can afford to be such a strong research school, shouldn't they be able to fund free printing for students?
Printing at the KU libraries has a cost of 8 cents per black-and-white page and 48 cents for color. It's not that much in the grand scheme of things. But on a tight college budget, like many of us are on that charge can and will add up. To think of it relatively, a 13-page research paper or two pages printed in color cost the same as a McChicken at McDonalds. Personally, I would rather pay for a McChicken than pay for a 13-page paper I've spent all week working on for a class that already costs money to attend. To me, this doesn't add up.
By Eddie Simon esimon@kansan.com
The University does sympathize with us - somewhat. Each semester KU students are credited with $8 of free printing. This adds up to 100 free black-and-white pages or 16.5 color pages. These free pages are indeed a nice gesture by the University, but is it really enough?
According to the website Collegeprowler.com, which is a massive online database that compares and ranks colleges for prospective students, the average annual tuition for the University of Kansas is $23,748 out-of-state and $9,678 for in-state. Tuition
does vary from person-to-person and year-to-year, but College Prowler averages and estimates to obtain fairly accurate numbers. Using these numbers, we can deduce that for an out-of-state student, approximately .00067 percent of their tuition goes toward printing funds. Therefore, the "free" $8 per semester KU allocates is only 67-thousandths of the cost of tuition for an out-of-state student. As an English major who finds myself printing nearly every day, that is not enough.
While the university is doing an exemplary job funding 12 major research centers such as the Biodiversity Institute, Life Span Institute and the Bioengineering Research Center, it's important
that the little guys aren't neglected either. Before any of us are going to be making groundbreaking research for the Life Span Institute, we're going to have to take English 101 and print off countless essays, or Calc 116 and print off pages on pages of take-home quizzes or the dozens of pages required for Accounting 200 assignments with t-counts after t-counts. The small but significant cost of printing paper does add up, and the students shouldn't have be responsible for that fee.

Cyclical nature of music forecasts change for future of hip-hop
I was asked recently if I thought rap would be the music our kids laugh at us for playing when we're older. At first, I waived it off as a humorous notion. My response was "Who knows?" and the discussion ended as briefly as it had begun, but the question stuck in my mind for a few days.
I reflected on the past of other popular genres that died off, and tried to research what caused their decline. I noticed a recurring trend of genres rooted in youthful revolution that burned out when their generations grew up and moved on. Could hip-hop really end in the same way?
By Dalton Boehm
dboehm@kansan.com
Hip-hop began akin to other musical movements—as a way for a group to express themselves and find identity and belonging. The culture sprung from a long-standing history of oppression and racism, which was adapted to a post-civil rights era where these systems still have a strangling effect. The music developed as a method for modern black people to fight against their oppressors in a cathartic and expressive method.
The movement grew vastly in the 80s and 90s. It grew so much that it became a mainstay in the music industry.
Its popularity made the artists successful, and the involvement of money changed how the music was made. The culture didn't necessarily dissipate because of greed, but because of the "get-rich-or-die-trying" mantra of artists and executives.
The same thing happened with another mega-genre of the past: rock 'n' roll.
Many rock artists sold 2-10 times the amount of records that top hip-hop artists ever have. It's not farfetched that capitalism can remove the passion of music, but it can't be the reason that Hip Hop dies with such a gross disparity in sales.
I looked closer at those two genres, and noticed another similarity.
Part of the reason that rock was so immense was the development of the radio and television. Without these technologies, the music could not have been as popular.
Hip-hop experienced its own technological breakthrough: the internet. It hasn't been around long enough to tell whether it will break hip-hop or not, but so far it has only enabled the spread of the music. Then again, so did television for rock.
I still hadn't found the conclusion that I was looking for yet, so I looked back at the ages of artists and fans.
followed suit.
From what I understand, Rock's most popular artists grew old, split or died. The fan base
Hip-hop's oldest modern artists and fans are currently around 40-50 years old, but there are a plethora of younger artists on the scene today. The nature of Hiphop is oriented around youth, but there does seem to be a place for the older folk. Nas, one of the most revered rappers from the 90s released an album in 2010 that was solid, yet mature. Eminem released an album this year, and he has a daughter almost as old as I am. It appears that age isn't a huge factor.
I came to the conclusion that predicting what will happen to the genre is futile. There's no way to tell. There are too many variables, too many possibilities. We can reflect on the past and understand that history repeats itself, but we cannot tell the future. Such is life.
My work wasn't completely fruitless, however.
Through analyzing the past and considering the future, I found a separate question that seemed more relevant. What will happen to us? Since music consists of what we experience, we are music. What happens to us, happens to music. We fight oppression. We live in culture. We become irrelevant. We move on. We die.
At the end, I found my answer.
Hip Hop may die off, but at least we were here to enjoy it.

SOCIETY
Older generations put blame on youth
all it tapping out or just taking a gap "lifetime," but I just don't see a welcoming environment for young people in America.
This isn't about being shafted by the economy or the job market. This isn't even about the massive labor exploitation scheme that is the internship system. It entirely about an attitude that Generation Y is somehow responsible for the mess they're in and that shaming them is the best solution.
What I don't understand is why the Boomers and their affiliates get so violently defensive at any mention of our generation. They gather up their benefits and time-shares around them like a nesting badger and snarl at all the twenty-sometimes until they move on to beg at the next front door. There's a sense that the best way to prepare an entire generation is to shame them when they can't find a job and then shrug when they ask for a kickback.
All of this gripping and bemoaning each other isn't a generational difference, but a human one. Despite swearing up and down that we're just as generous as Barney, the vast majority of us want to keep what we've earned. As Social Security dips out of the bottom of the bucket, it's only natural that those that have earned their keep begin to hoard what they can and scare the poachers away with a rusty spike.
That's all fine and dandy. The solution to the bloated social security system is too complex to be discussed here. But our attitudes toward one another? We can figure that out quickly.
The unbelievably condescending cycle of blog posts that peppers all of our news feeds betrays an unfortunate attitude from the

seniors in our community. These articles and columns berate Gen Y, harp on the "everyone gets a trophy" mindset, and drop a few zingers about Twitter to cap it all off.
I guess I don't understand why if Generation Y has been raised wrong, then we're somehow responsible for it. I think everyone age 30 and up has colluded in a back room and decided to just blame Gen Y for all of their problems, citing our codled childhoods while pandering to the elders.
Are we all a social experiment gone wrong? Do we just kick our children out onto the street and chuck a boot at them whenever their wails are keeping us awake? What can we do to help Gen Y succeed but watch them crash and burn and hope they learn a lesson from it?
I don't have a good answer for that. Many millions of people much smarter and much more capable than me haven't figured it out yet, so I'm content with not knowing.
What I can do is ask the old folks and young'uns to get along for a little while. Long enough to knock out global warming at least. Hell, maybe we'll patch up the economy while we're at it, and have a few laughs along the way.

Sweet potatoes and yams are Thanksgiving staples on many tables. Try this simple sweet potato recipe this coming holiday.
CHRISTINA OISTMFEYER/KANSAN
FOOD
CHRISTINA OSTMEYER costmeyer@kansan.com
Starchy versus sweet Yams and sweet potatoes are similar-tasting holiday foods but pose significant differences.
What's the difference between a yam and a sweet potato? The two are actually not even botanically related. Though yams closely resemble sweet potatoes, they are much starchier, drier and are primarily grown in Africa. Ironically, the yam also has a sweeter taste. The skin of a yam is rough compared to the smooth exterior of a sweet potato. The confusion between the two is derived from the United States Department of Agriculture.
The USDA needed a way to differentiate firm and soft sweet potatoes and therefore began calling the softer varieties 'yams'. In effect, unless one is specifically seeking yams, he or she will probably only find sweet potatoes in most grocery stores.
Simple Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
bake at 375 F for 40 minutes.
Pull the potatoes out of the oven and mash. Great additions could include: goat cheese, pepper or rosemary.
fill with water so that potatoes are completely covered, and boil potatoes for 15 minutes.
5-6 sweet potatoes
½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup butter
1 tsp. salt
Chop potatoes and layer in pan, equally dispersing salt, butter and brown sugar throughout.
Bake at 375 F for 40 minutes
Drain the water from the potatoes and peel.
Place potatoes in a large pot and

Hymns For Your Silence
"Farewell Transmission"
by Songs: Ohia
Album: "The Magnolia Electric Co."
"Farewell Transmission" blurs the line between folk-like instrumentation with long, drawn-out, jam-sounding riffs. This 7-minute-long song is a great one for a long drive, or a long relaxing playlist. Songs: Ohio is the stage and recording name of musician, Jason Molina, who performs with his lineup on this album that is referred to as "Magnolia Electric Co." The blend of musical influences turns out to be a recipe for some beautiful music.
ATLANTIC RECORDING CORP. (1962)
"Jazzy Belle"
by Outkast
Album: "ATLIens"
GREEN ONIONS
BOOKER T. 3 THE M.G. 5
From Outkast's second full-length album, this song features a well-known sample and beat that has been used in more recent hip-hop songs. The lyrical development and speed of Andre 3000 on this track is something to be heard, and also explains how Outkast became such a big success in later years. An essential track for any hip-hop fan.
"I'm Not Feeling It Anymore" by Van Morrison
Album: "Hymns to the Silence"
Van Morrison is better known for his singles such as "Moondance," "And it Stoned Me" and "Into the Mystic," but he also has some lesser songs that are equal in power and tone. "I'm Not Feeling it Anymore" provides a good look into the sounds of Van Morrison, with an old, folk sound that leaves a good feeling lingering around after a listen. The song is one that is likely to bounce around in your head for a while.
"Green Onions"
by Booker T & the MG's
Album: "Green Onions"
One of the most popular songs of the 1960s, "Green Onions," by Booker T & the MG's has all of the great things about original R&B music compiled into one song. Though the song consists of a simple chord progression on the organ, a consistent jazz beat on drums and a walking bass line, the song is a classic. The lead guitar on this track makes the song, and it shows the extraordinary ways that music can be great, despite how simple it is.

Top shows to binge watch over Thanksgiving break
KAITLYN HILGERS
khilgers@kansan.com
There is no doubt about it — any break from school is awesome. I know I'm not alone when I say I'm incredibly stoked for this break. And, as excited as I'm to see all of my family members and dogs, I am also excited for some alone time for relaxing and watching some TV, while not feeling guilty about the other things I could be doing. Therefore, if any of you have the time over break to binge watch some TV shows or marathon a movie series, here are my recommendations.
X-Men movies
With the excitement around "X-Men: Days of Future Past," there has never been a better time to catch up on all of the other films (which include: "X-Men", "X2", "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "X-Men: First Class"). You can even go above and beyond if you have some extra time and watch "X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Wolverine." I have actually only seen one of the
X-Men films, so I am personally very excited to marathon these over break and start to get excited for the newest addition as well.
Friends
While being around family during this time is incredible and makes most people exceptionally happy, I hope I'm not alone in saying that I also really miss my friends from Lawrence. Reflecting on what I am thankful for makes that even worse, so in order to feel like you are still around your friends the entire break, "Friends" is the television series for you. Another awesome thing about this particular show is that most people have seen a few episodes, so you know personally if it is the type of show you would enjoy or not.
Malcom in the Middle
On the other hand, if you are unable to go home or are unable to see your family over break, have a big dosage family lovin' with "Malcom in the Middle." See Bryan Cranston, pre-Walter While era, and then, for fans of Breaking
Bad, enjoy the alternate ending that is available online that has a crossover of the two shows. Also, while there are seven seasons of the show, each episode is less than 30 minutes long, so you can speed right through them and enjoy that makeshift family time.
Merlin
Merlin, I realize, doesn't really fit in. Why would I recommend Merlin for a binge watch? The reason is that you truly will not be able to watch this show unless you just watch all of it at one time. What I mean by that is that Merlin, while awesome and great, is one of the cheesiest shows I have ever watched. Therefore, if you think about it for too long, most people will start to realize that it is pretty stupid and give up on it. However, if you just watch all of it at one time, you can make yourself believe that it is actually really great, and then finally accept about a month later that you were in a dark hole during that time.

Bob Stoops breaks coaching record, Oklahoma State contends for title
CONNOR OBERKROM
coberkrom@kansan.com
Stoops winningest coach in school history
After Oklahoma beat Kansas State, coach Bob Stoops found himself in the middle of coaching history.
Stoops surpassed Barry Switzer to become Oklahoma's all time win leader with 158, and counting. Stoops has a chance to register a 10-win season for the 12th time. The win wasn't possible without a stellar performance from redshirt freshman quarterback Trevor Knight.
Knight finished 14 of 20 for 171 yards, which was a career high. Knight also ran for 82 yards and a touchdown.
The Sooners have used Knight and junior Blake Bell while deciding which would become the long term quarterback. After Knight's performance Saturday, it appears he could be the option.
Oklahoma State nears Big 12 title
Baylor's offense totaled three
points throughout the the first three quarters in its contest against Oklahoma State on Saturday.
While Baylor was without two of its dynamic playmakers, junior running back Lache Seastrunk and senior wide receiver Tevin Reese, Oklahoma State stifled Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty.
Petty was No. 5 in the quarterback rating coming into Saturday's contest, and while he finished with over 300 yards passing, he struggled to find a rhythm all game.
Oklahoma State senior quarterback Clint Cheff completed his first 12 passes and finished the night with four touchdowns.
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said in the weekly Big 12 teleconference that it was one of the better performances he has seen from a quarterback since he has been in Stillwater.
The Cowboys are one win away from staking claim to their second Big 12 title in just three years.
Texas won't control its destiny of winning the Big 12, but it could be possible. If the Longhorns win the next two games - against Texas
Tech and Baylor – there is a possibility that the Big 12 title could be shared or won outright.
Texas learns from mistakes
Texas plays its annual Thanksgiving night game, this time against Texas Tech, which has lost four games in a row. Texas would travel to Baylor the next week and need help from Oklahoma, who would need to defeat Oklahoma State, to win the Big 12 outright.
A year ago, Texas was in the same position as it faced TCU after moving up in the BCS standings and had a chance to make a BCS bowl. Texas lost 13-20 to TCU.
"It wasn't what we wanted last year, we didn't play very well," Texas coach Mack Brown said in the weekly Big 12 teleconference. "TCU played much better than us and we've got to get that excitement back and play better on Thursday night."
Brown said the team talked too much about the Big 12 Championship before it played Oklahoma State.
It is now focusing on the task at hand: beating Texas Tech at home.

JOEY ANGUIANO
janguiano@kansan.com
After the disappointing loss at Iowa State Saturday, all eyes seem to be looking ahead at the match-up with Kansas State on Nov. 30. Coach Charlie Weis stressed in his teleconference on Monday that motivating the team for the upcoming contest with the Wildcats has not been an issue.
"We are playing Kansas State. How tough is it to get up when you are playing your in-state rivals?" Weis said. "Coach Snyder has done a great job magnifying this game from the Kansas State perspective, and that's what we are trying to do here. It's been in the weight room, and running down on a [countdown] clock since summertime."
Additionally, Weis addressed questions about the quarterback unit after a lackluster performance against Iowa State.
"I think that if you wait to coach a quarterback until the next day, you've waited one day too long, so I started addressing issues and their fixes with him [freshman quarterback Montell Cozart] during the game." Weis said.
Weis did not give any information on who would be starting against Kansas State.
The final game will kickoff at 11 a.m. at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence and will be televised on Fox Sports 1.

It only took a few minutes for Iowa State to find its rhythm and run away from the Kangarooos.

Kansas looks to leaders in Paradise Jam tournament
STELLA LIANG
sliang@kansan.com
While it will continue to be chilly in Kansas over Thanksgiving break, the Kansas women's basketball team (3-1) will be in the Virgin Islands. The team will compete in the Paradise Jam tournament and play against three opponents, but there will also be time to enjoy the island.
"The players are excited, and they should be excited," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "The team bonding, that element of it, traveling like that, but you also have quality competition on a neutral floor in a beautiful setting."
The team's first game will be on Thanksgiving at 2:30 p.m. against Central Michigan. The Jayhawks play Xavier the next day and finish the tournament against Duke on Saturday. Each team will play every other team once, and whoever finishes with the best record will win the Island Division. Another set of four teams will compete in
the Reef Division.
The five freshmen have not encountered a tournament environment before, but the team is looking to its upperclassmen,
"There are things we can hang our hat on, a couple of things we did really well, we've got to repeat that."
BONNIE HENRICKSON women's basketball coach
"As leaders, it's different for everybody this year, but coach [Henrickson] has told us plenty of times we do have to drag them along or let them know how it's going to be and how we need to come in mentally," Knight said.
such as juniors Natalie Knight and Chelsea Gardner, to take the lead.
The Jayhawks are focusing on
their matchup with Central Michigan and taking a one-game-at' a time approach.
Central Michigan (1-2) averages 83.7 points a game and takes many shots. Henrickson said Central Michigan has a tough schedule, and its current record is not indicative of how good the team is.
Xavier (2-2) is a young team that has eight freshmen on its roster. The Musketeers have been inconsistent, but even with such an inexperienced group the two leading scorers on the team are seniors. Guard Shatyra Hawkes averages 21.5 points per game and guard Ashley Wanninger adds 14.8 points a game.
No. 2 Duke will be the Jayhawks' biggest test. The Blue Devils had four players named to the Naismith Preseason List and currently outscore their opponents by over 37 points per game.
The Jayhawks are coming off their first loss of the season, which was against Minnesota on the road. Kansas controlled much of
the first half, gave up a lead in the second and attempted a comeback that fell short. Henrickson said there were both positives and negatives to earning that loss.
"There are things we can hang our hat on, a couple of things we did really well, we've got to repeat that," Henrickson said. "Then we've got to clean up the rest."
Henrickson said the team should gain confidence from how it started the game and made a comeback, but the Jayhawks also need to be tougher when they are struggling with their shots.
The Jayhawks are turning to their next road trip hoping to learn from their loss.
"We know it's going to be a trip of a lifetime." Knight said. "We are going to have time for fun. We know when it's time to be serious and when it's time to have fun."

Battle 4 Atlantis brings steady, varied competition

Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-0):
Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-0):
Scoring leader: Codi Miller-McIntyre (18.6)
Rebound leader: Devin Thomas (11.6)
Assist leader: Codi Miller-McIntyre (4.8)
At A Glance:
Wake Forest is second in the nation in rebounding (49.2 rpg), but hasn't necessarily played anyone too capable of knocking it off in general. The Demon Deacons have all but coated through their first few games, which makes Kansas their first real challenge.
Villanova Wildcats (4-0):
At A Glance:
Scoring leader: JayVaughn Pinkston (20.3)
Rebound leader: Daniel Ochefu (8.8)
Assist leader: Darrun Hilliard (4.3)
University of Southern California Trojans (4-1):
At A Glance:
The Wildcats enter the Bahamas with the No. 26 field goal defense in the nation. Opponents, including the same Towson team the Jayhawks recently defeated, are only shooting 36.7 percent against Villanova. The key for Villanova will be the play of Darrun Hilliard – a guard who is averaging 14 points and 4.3 rebounds so far.
Scoring leader: Byron Wesley (19.8)
Rebound leader: Byron Wesley (8.8)
Assist leader: Pe'Shon Howard (4.2)
Since dropping its season opener at Utah State, USC has bounced back with four straight wins heading into the Battle 4 Atlantis. This will be the first time we get to see coach Andy Enfield back in the national spotlight after taking Florida Gulf Coast to the Sweet 16 last year.
Tennessee Volunteers (3-1):
Scoring leader: Jordan McRae (21.5)
Rebound leader: Jerome Maymon (8.5)
Assist leader: Jordan McRae (3.0)
At A Glance:
It's pretty clear Jordan McRae is the Volunteers' best
weapon. He's the team leader in scoring and assists, which is a large reason why Tennessee has three victories under its belt. Unfortunately, the marquee matchup in the Vols' opener set them back a bit. Xavier was able to hand the Volunteers' their only loss on the year. In that game, Tennessee shot just 37 percent from the line and lost 67-63.
Xavier Musketeers (4-0):
Scoring leader: Semaj Christon (16.3)
Rebound leader: Matt Stainbrook (9.0)
Assist leader: Dee Davis (7.0)
At A Glance:
Xavier's signature win came against Tennessee in a game that could have gone either way, if the Vols hadn't committed 25 fouls and given the Musketeers a chance to win it at the line. Xavier should become a top team by March, but it's still pretty untested as of now, just like every other school.
No. 23 Iowa Hawkeyes (5-0):
Scoring leader: Roy Devyn Marble (14.6)
Rebound leader: Aaron White (7.6)
Assist leader: Roy Devyn Marble (3.8)
At A Glance:
The Hawkeyes are off to an impressive start thanks to Roy Devyn Marble – senior guard who leads the team in points and assists. Iowa is averaging 92.6 points per game right now. And while it hasn't faced stiff competition, that will change when Xavier takes the court with them on Thursday.
University of Texas El Paso Miners (3-2):
Scoring leader:McKenzie Moore (14.0)
Rebound leader:Vince Hunter (7.4)
Assist leader:McKenzie Moore (3.0)
At A Glance:
The Miners haven't had the easiest start to the season. After falling twice to New Mexico State they'll face off against a Tennessee team with a lot to prove in the opening round of the Battle 4 Atlantis. UTEP is expected to contend in Conference USA this year, but probably won't in the Bahamas.

THE MORNING BREW
Thanksgiving provides many sports beginnings
Thanksgiving and sports, particularly football, are quintessential parts of being American. There is a smattering slate of NFL, NCAA basketball and football, and high school football games across the country every year. The day's routine has become natural: wait for food to be ready during the first football game, pig out with family, then watch the other games half-coatose on the couch with your belt unbuckled. Sports on Thanksgiving is an American tradition.
By Nick Chadbourne
nchadbourne@kansan.com
The origins of athletics on Thanksgiving can be traced to the first Thanksgiving feast between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoags, a Native American tribe from Plymouth, Mass.
According to a Boston Globe article, the Wampanoags were athletically adept because sport was an essential part of Native American culture. Indigenous people were skillful runners and swimmers for survival purposes — these were skills that transferred well into athletics. The Wampanoags' precursor to football involved a similar set of
ing, which was a three day long event.
The Pilgrims were polar opposites. Because of their dedication to a six-day work week and devotion to Sunday as a holy day, there was little time for sports in their culture. Their hesitance to participate in games changed temporarily after leaving Plymouth Rock. Sporting events between the two groups occurred during the first Thanksgiv-
rules to the current game. They played with a deerskin ball and up to 100 players. The gridiron was on the beach, and the field of play stretched up to a mile long. It was one of the many games played by the tribe.
According to the Boston Globe article, at one point, the Pilgrims and Wampanoags flexed their hunting prowess in a competition. The Wampanoags wielded their traditional bow and arrow, while the Pilgrims shot their muskets. The Pilgrims were impressed with the Wampanoags' marksmanship, and the natives were impressed with weaponry they'd never seen before. It's now known as the first sporting event in America on Thanksgiving. Sports became an essential
THE BREW
element in the rocky relationship between the Pilgrims and Wampanoags.
Sure, the NFL Thanksgiving lineup will have playoff ramifications for the six participating teams. But the games between the Pilgrims and Wampanoags settled politics and formed polices. Games were more often played to resolve conflict without entering
war, according to a YahoooSports article. Eventually, the sporting wars turned into alltoo-real wars of bloodshed as Europeans began settling America.
But when announcers on Thursday talk about the "battle between the trenches," remember that hundreds of years before, wars were literally being resolved on the playing field. Sporting competitions between the Pilgrims and Wampanoags were the start to a cultural tradition of sports and bonding over food on Thanksgiving.

COMMENTARY Big 12 exceeds expectations
By Ben Ashworth bashworth@kansan.com
The Big 12 didn't get the memo that it was supposed to be on the decline this year. It must have gotten lost in the mail.
Even after the news of Marcus Smart's return and Andrew Wiggins' commitment, pundits seemed skeptical about the Big 12's prospects this year. The Big 12 underperformed in the NCAA tournament last year, with Oklahoma State and Kansas State suffering first round upsets and Kansas faltering to Michigan. Couple that with the fact that college basketball around the nation was supposed to be at its strongest in years.
Nevertheless, the big 12 has come up with several quality wins and, other than Kansas State, each team has met or exceeded expectations. Kansas is still favored to take the conference, but it won't be without its challenges.
Oklahoma State throttled a ranked Memphis team behind Smart, who has a new arsenal which includes an improved outside shot. The Cowboys have averaged 102 points per game. Compare that to the Jayhawks who, despite marveling scouts with their offensive prowess, have not yet reached the century mark. Kansas has not forgotten Smart's backlips on the Jayhawk logo, and Lawrence is already buzzing about the showdown at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 18.
Iowa State has been impressive as well, beating Michigan and BYU within four days of one another. Melvin Ejim will be a threat for Big 12 Player of the Year, and every Cyclone in the rotation can shoot the three. Kansas has exhibited difficulties closing out on the outside shooter, and Fred Hoiberg's team has the potential to drive Bill Self nuts.
Meanwhile, Baylor has gone 4-0, yet many have felt underwhelmed. The Bears' offense has been relatively stagnant, but their defense has been impressive, holding opponents to 64 points per game. Two of their four wins are against power conference teams, while junior college transfer Kenny Chery has looked effective at the point guard spot.
Kansas' non-conference schedule is notoriously difficult. But even if it emerges from the non-conference relatively unscathed, it cannot afford to overlook the Big 12 competition. Doing so could lead to a situation like last year, when Kansas dropped games to Oklahoma State, TCU and Oklahoma consecutively. The Jayhawks had the senior leadership to overcome such adversity, but it is up in the air how this year's youthful team would respond.
These three teams represent the biggest threats to Kansas, but there are several others who will keep the Jayhawks on their toes. Oklahoma has wins over Alabama and Seton Hall, and its only loss was to Michigan State in which it is competitive throughout. Texas is undefeated, which is a positive even against weak competition. Even TCU managed to beat Washington State.
Kansas is shooting for double digits in its streak of conference championships. With the Big 12's non-conference performance, it may be more difficult than anticipated.

High-scoring Jayhawks head to Bahamas to compete in the Battle 4 Atlantis
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
CLIFFORD
Coach Bill Self said the Jayhawks' visit to the Bahamas is a business trip, not a vacation. The Jayhawks face Wake Forest on Thursday at 2:30 p.m.
bhillix@kansan.com
IBRIAN HILLIX
No. 2 Kansas is the only team in the eight-team field ranked in the Top 20 of the Associated Press poll. Every team in the field has a winning record, and five of the eight teams are currently undefeated. Self believes as many as five of the teams could make the NCAA Tournament.
Other than Kansas, this year's Battle 4 Atlantis may not boast top-ranked teams, but the tournament should still challenge the Jayhawks.
"The field's good," Self said. "I saw where somebody ranked it as the first or second best field of all the preseason tournaments."
Each team is guaranteed to play three games in the tournament, which spans three days. If Kansas wins against Wake Forest, it plays the winner of the Villanova-USC matchup. The other side of the bracket includes Iowa, Xavier, Tennessee and UTEP. A consolation bracket will determine which teams earn fifth through eighth place.
Sophomore forward Perry Ellis is excited for the chance to play so many games in such a short period.
"It will be fun and it will certainly be good to play three good teams in three days and see how we react and go from there," Self said.
"In high school that's all we did, we'd play even like three or four games a day," Ellis said. "It's gonna be a fun time, and I'm really excited to get out there."
Kansas is the only team in the field that has played a ranked opponent this season. Villanova was the only other team in the field to even make the 2013 NCAA Tournament, while Kansas was the only team to advance past the round of 64.
The Jayhawks play Wake Forest in the opening round of the tournament. The Demon Deacons are 5-0 but have yet to play a team from a power conference. They finished 13-18 last season and only won two away games. Sophomore guard Codi Mcci-McIntyre leads the team in scoring. He has scored 20 or more points in four games this season.
Villanova will be the favorite to advance to the semifinals and face the winner of the Kansas matchup. The Wildcats are coming off a narrow win against Delaware but thumped Towson by 34 points in their previous game.
This isn't the first time Self has brought his team to a tropical environment such as the Bahamas. The team played in the Maui Invitational two years ago and is scheduled to return to Maui in 2015. Self will give his players some free time, but the team didn't come this far for a vacation.
"This is a business trip," Self said. "...We're not concerned about anything other than trying to win games."
"We all know that we're heading out there to handle business," Ellis said. "That's the mindset that we want to have going out there."
The Jayhawks (4-0) are coming off a 30-point victory over Towson on Friday, Nov. 22. The Demon Deacons defeated Citadel 82-54 in their last game.
Ellis said being in the Bahamas could be a distraction, but his team is focused on basketball.
Kansas currently leads the country in field goal percentage shooting nearly 57 percent from the floor.
Kansas plays at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 28, on AXS TV. If the layhawks make the semifinals and finals, the games will be aired on NBC Sports Network.

Denver freshman outside hitter Moni Corrujo leads the team with 310 kills and comes off a 13-kill match against IUPUJ.
McClinton recorded one of her worst matches of the year on Nov 20 against Iowa State when she had three kills, a -0.67 hitting percentage and was benched for sophomore Tiana Dockery. McClinton came out strong Saturday with four kills on eight attacks and zero errors, but was still benched for Dockery in the second set.
"Dockery, McClinton and
Carmichael have all been good," Bechard said. "We wanted to split time between Clinton and Dockery. McClinton has been good and Dockery was good at Iowa State so we decided to play both of them."

Dockery, who started at outside hitter in the beginning of the season before redshirt senior Carmichael emerged as the starter, ended Saturday with two kills on 12 attacks and one error.
