Crews work on the second phase of Jayhawk Boulevard construction during Summer 2014. The end date of construction was originally Aug. 15, but has been rescheduled to end Sunday, one day before classes resume.

The completion date of the second phase of construction on Jayhawk Boulevard has been rescheduled.
The end date was previously Aug. 15; however, according to an email sent Aug. 13 from the Office of Design and Construction Management, Jayhawk Boulevard is

Gavin Young, assistant director of strategic communications at the University, said the construction crews found that some material beneath the street was harder to

excavate than what they had anticipated.
Although the construction on Jayhawk Boulevard and
Daisy Hill will be done before classes begin Monday, construction on the new School of Business — Capitol Federal Hall — has closed down the sidewalk between Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Robinson Center.
Young said construction crews will build a utility tunnel, which will be used for electricity and water,
at the future site of Capitol Federal Hall. There were no utilities running to the site when it was used as a recreation area for tennis and volleyball. A temporary sidewalk scheduled for Sept. 19 will be available between Watkins and Robinson.
While some students might find it inconvenient, Dharam Patel, a junior from Olathe,
said it's something they will have to deal with during the first month of school.
"I think they'll be annoyed by it, but it's not something they can't just handle or take care of." Patel said. "You've just got to show up earlier."

University works to improve Wi-Fi on campus
Edited by Paige Lytle
RILEY MORTENSEN news@kansan.com
While most students were enjoyying the summer months away from school, the KU Information Technology department members were taking part in student orientation to help more than 2,700 students configure their smartphones and other mobile devices to connect to Jayhawk Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi is one of the major components of academic success and students' connection can make or break an assignment or project.
David Day, director of IT External Affairs at the University, said while questions have been raised about the speed of Wi-Fi connections on campus, only a small percentage of the daily calls they receive deal with Wi-Fi at all.
"Quite frankly we haven't
heard a lot of complaints about Wi-Fi on campus. Typically when we do it's due to configuration problems and connection problems that students are having." Day said. "Going back in April, we had about 25 calls to our customer service center related to Wi-Fi. The majority of those were related to configuration of a particular device. That 25 calls related to Wi-Fi service is very low compared to other issues and other calls we get on campus."
Day said he did hear of several inquiries about wireless service in Allen Fieldhouse and Green Hall, but in both cases the department made changes and added access points to try to improve connectivity.
"With Allen Fieldhouse, it was related to specifically the areas where students camp out and that's kind of gray area with us because with
wireless on campus our main focus is on providing great Wi-Fi service in academic buildings." Day said.
"We've really been working on this for about two and a half years ... focusing on expanding Wi-Fi on campus."
DAVID DAY
Director of IT External Affairs
Day said IT has not made more of an investment in those areas that are mostly for recreational use, but they do understand that while students are camping out for basketball tickets many choose to study and need Internet access, which is why they've made investments to provide some coverage there.
Several projects to add more coverage on campus
are underway and students should see improvements by the end of the semester.
The IT department is currently finishing up initial upgrades in almost all academic buildings on campus.
"So we've really been working on this for about two and a half years and we're really focusing on expanding Wi-Fi on campus and you'll see a whole list of places where we've completed upgrades and expansion and added Wi-Fi," Day said. "This last two and a half years was really a push at making some really significant upgrades in academic buildings: the libraries, Kansas Union and places where students study and congregate and where classes are being held."
IT is currently working on upgrades at the Spencer Research Library and a few
outdoor areas, which they expect to be completed during the fall semester. Specifically, Student Senate leaders have spoken to their department about the outdoor area behind Wescoe Hall and the corridor between Anschutz Library and the Military Sciences building.
"That's an area where students are increasingly going to study and congregate and, you know, jump on their laptops between classes and that kind of stuff, so that's another area where we're focusing right now." Day said.
As far as comparing KU's wireless service to other universities, Day said this is difficult because there is no measurement that can be used fairly used. The structure of the building or layout of the campus can affect service.

KUAAP aids international student immersion
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHartford
This year almost 60 students from four countries China, Russia, India and Vietnam will be the first students to participate in the KU Academic Accelerator Program. The program is a year long, takes place over three semesters and is composed of a fixed curriculum of core classes, as well as courses through the Applied English Center.
"I'd like to see us prepare these students in a substantive way and have them go on to matriculate fully onto the University," said Antha Cotten-Spreckelmeyer, an academic director of KUAAP.
KUAAP requires students to have a higher level of proficiency in English because, although the program is an academic degree track, it also strives to introduce students to American culture and life on campus.
Participating students will live on campus and have unique opportunities to experience the Universityand American culture through field trips, such as going to away football games and touring the Konza Prairie in the Flint Hills and possibly the Kansas City area later in the program.
["The trips] will tie into the readings, but the program will also introduce students to Kansas, KU, Lawrence,
as well as the state," Cotten Spreckelmeyer said. "We want students to get a sense of the culture, the history, the peoples and the environment of the state."
A main goal of the program is to expand the number of international students at the University. Assistant Vice Provost Charles Bankart hopes that the program will help recruit more international students and ultimately double the international population at the University in six or seven years.
"We've had a steady increase [of international students] over 10 years, but it hasn't increased to the extent we would like," Bankart said.
"We want to establish a good fit between international students and KU, so that they become Jayhawks."
Another goal of the program is to diversify the international population, so the program focuses recruitment in South and Central America, Africa, East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East.
Currently about half of the international students enrolled at the University are from China, Bankart said.
"We want a diverse population because it is important in infusing classes with students from all six regions," Bankart said.
One main challenge for KUAAP was communicating
the opportunity to a large number of international students in such a short amount of time, which Bankart hopes will not be an issue in the future.
As the program expands over time, Bankart said he hopes to use the feedback of the students to adapt the program so that the curriculum and experiences will expand in the best for the students.
"Quality is paramount both in academics and in student experience," Bankart said. "If we are successful at bringing a positive experience to students then the program will expand by itself."

Suspect in student death sentenced
Justin P. Gonzalez, from Mission, was sentenced to 32 months in prison for the involuntary manslaughter of Nicholas Sardina of Lawrence, according to the Douglas County District Attorney's office.
Sardina, 27, a former University student from Clarence N.Y., was last enrolled in fall 2011 and was a sergeant in the National Guard, according to a Kansan article published in August 2012.
The article also reported that Gonzalez was involved in an altercation at a house party on Tennessee Street that allegedly led to Sardina's death on February 25, 2012.

University works to tackle freshman retention
KATE MILLER
@_Kate_Miller_
To combat low freshman retention rates and increase overall graduation rates, the University continues to institute and modify programs for the benefit of freshmen. Focusing on course redesign, experiential learning and a sense of belonging among new students, the University hopes to raise freshman retention by almost 10 percent in the next eight years.
The most recent data from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning shows that 79.9 percent of 2012 freshmen returned after one year, and 77 percent returned after three semesters.
The effort to increase retention is spearheaded by Sara Thomas Rosen, senior vice provost for Academic Affairs. Rosen is responsible for the implementation of the University's strategic plan for increasing retention and graduation rates.
"I'm cautiously optimistic that we're finding improvement [in the retention rates]," Rosen said. "It's very, very slow. There's very, very small improvements. If you look at the past 10 years or so, you can see it's a highly stable number."
In fact, retention rates in the last seven years have remained steady at around 79 percent, except a 77.8 percent rate in 2008, according to OIRP. The percentage of freshmen who return after their first year of school has not surpassed 80 percent since 2005.
The University's highest return percentage occurred over 10 years ago, when 82.7 percent of the 2003 freshman class returned a year later. 2003's high is still
more than 7 percent below the University's ultimate goal for freshmen retention: 90 percent by 2022.
The most recent report from the ACT's Institutional Data Questionnaire shows that low retention rates are a national problem. Of 2012 freshmen at public schools that offer bachelor degrees, only 64.2 percent returned for a second year of schooling. Four-year private schools did not fare much better, with only 69.8 percent of freshmen returning for their sophomore year.
Although the University can boast a higher retention rate than the national average, it's still not the best in the state of Kansas. According to the Kansas Board of Regents, Kansas State University retained 80.6 percent of students in 2009 while just across the border the University of Missouri currently has a retention rate of 84.6 percent, according to its school website.
In an attempt to combat this issue, the Office of Academic Affairs instituted the new Progression and Graduation Strategic Plan, which will aim to track not just retention, but a student's progress towards graduation and earning a degree.
Rosen explained that the new plan will identify high-risk courses and students early on in their academic experience. High-risk courses are courses that "could provide a barrier to students," said Rosen. These courses will then undergo a course redesign to better allow first-year students to continue their success at the University.
Using predictive analytics from the Education Advisory Board, the University will also aim to identify high-
risk students and track their progress throughout their academic career.
"In a student-specific plan, [we're looking at] if students are making progress toward that degree, not just racking up credit hours, but actually making good progress towards a chosen major," Rosen said. "We're putting a predictive analytic tool in play to help advisors identify students who are making really good progress or maybe have some risk factors."
Another office playing an important role in freshman retention is the Office of First Year Experience. Created specifically to help freshmen navigate their first year at the University, the programs implemented by this office work towards fostering a sense of belonging for first-year students.
Sarah Crawford-Parker, the director of the Office of First- Year Experience, oversees the programs designed to help freshmen build a solid foundation at the University. She witnessed success in the office's programs, which include the Common Book, Bold Aspirations Strategic Plan and first-year seminar programs, all of which aim to create a sense of collaboration among first-year students.
"We're trying to create the conditions and environment that help students be successful at KU," Crawford-Parker said. "For example, we know that the more students feel a sense of belonging at the institution, the more likely they are to persist in earning towards a degree. We've found that early connections to faculty, staff and other students are essential."
In addition to these programs, freshmen have a
new opportunity this year. Instead of moving into the dorms the Friday before classes begin, students this year will move in Thursday. The extra day on campus allows freshmen the chance to tour the campus and find their classes, as well as learn to ride the buses and purchase textbooks. The Office of First-Year Experience will welcome students to the University through a special film showing Thursday night on Campanile Hill.
The movie, which consists of interviews with students and faculty, as well as scripted pieces, is just another way for students to feel a sense of belonging with the campus community, Crawford-Parker said.
"The focus of the film is really to welcome students to campus and help them understand what this transition into the University looks like," she said. "We really wanted the movie to bring our new students into conversation with our old students."
Crawford-Parker has already seen success with the office's programs for increasing freshman retention. The office tracks student success through the number of credit hours completed by a student, as well as how a student performs in terms of written communication. She believes the program playing the biggest role is the first-year seminars available to freshmen.
"We are positive from some of the results we have been seeing from our programs, specifically with our first year seminars," she said. "We know from the limited information we have from Fall 2012 ... that those students are being

Value of internships measured in experience, not pay
JOBS
This summer is an editorial intern in the main greeting card section at Hallmark. As an intern I worked on everything that had to do with the words on greeting cards. It was a pretty phenomenal experience that allowed me to utilize a variety of creative skills. Best of all, it was paid.
I knew from the beginning I adored this internship, but I spent a lot of my summer trying to figure out what it was exactly I liked so much. After all, I'd had other fun jobs, but none had felt quite like this. None challenged me or encouraged me the way this internship did. After a while I realized what it was that made this internship
stand out. At its heart, working at Hallmark was a great experience because it was clear how much they cared about all of their employees, including their interns.
Hallmark has a ton of benefits for its employees. From a creative library to a cafe, there are places all over to refuel in every sense of the word. There are also workshops and events held throughout the year to help hone creative talent. In a lot of ways Hallmark Headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., is like a professional college food whenever you want it, everything in walking distance, even a nap room (yes, seriously).
By Anna Wenner
@Anna_Wenner
All of these benefits and more were offered to us as interns, and every day I found out a new part of Hallmark I loved. But what I loved most wasn't the obvious perks, it was the way people spoke to me and to each other. Everyone was friendly and everyone seemed genuinely happy to have the interns there, not to do the grunt work, but to offer a fresh perspective.
@UNIVERSITYDAILYKANSAN
Coming in, I was never treated as "just an intern." From day one I was working alongside other editors, being trained just like a new employee would be. My opinion was always encouraged and valued, and my work had real deadlines for real products. Basically, it was what an internship should be — a way for me to refine my skills and learn, while also a way for Hallmark to get enthusiastic work from a new set of eyes.
Hallmark is a company that can afford to pay their interns, and so they do, which is exactly how it should be. However, if they were a nonprofit that couldn't afford to pay their interns, I
believe they could still offer a worthwhile internship. It is not the pay that made my experience at Hallmark special — it's the fact that they clearly cared and did all they could to give their interns the best possible chance at a beneficial learning experience. More than that, it was the fact that were I to work at Hallmark as an employee, I am confident it would be every bit as nice as working there as an intern.

LITERATURE
2014 KU Common Book will come as a surprise
This fall, KU's Common Book "The Center of Everything" by
I Book "The Center of Everything," by English professor Laura Moriarty, will turn three years old. As a semi-avid reader, and recipient of a complimentary copy for being on KU Library's Student Advisory Board, I finally got around to reading it earlier this summer.
"The Center of Everything" turned out to be a pleasant read. Melancholy, funny and heart wrenching at times, I felt the need to finish it once I got past the initial hump. Not plot-driven in the traditional sense, "The Center of Everything" became a page-turner. You want to know what happens to the protagonist, Evelyn Bucknow, and the other people in her life.
By Anrenee Reasor
@anreneer
Set in Lawrence during America's Reagan era, Evelyn Bucknack is introduced as a 12-year-old girl living in a single mom household, narrating from early adolescence. We see Evelyn's world through her innocent perspective. She's confused why a man named Mr. Mitchell keeps coming over, and why her mom's bed breaks. When her mom develops bouts of morning sickness, Evelyn does not recognize them as signs of pregnancy. However, as Evelyn grows, so does her intuition, which makes her
resent her mother.
In the classroom. Evelyn has friends and enemies alike. Precocious and intuitive, she performs well in school, which gains attention from her science teacher. Always jockeying for a position against Traci Carmichael and Co., Evelyn learns through the evolution debate that her religious awakening may have left her on the "wrong" side. From the evolution debate, we see how religion versus science divides the small town.
Forced to pick sides, Evelyn is torn between her evangelical grandmother and the science teacher who sees her academic potential. Difficult for Evelyn to process, we see the complexity of situations like this and others that arise. Situations such as these really made me appreciate the book. The prose throughout make the reader align with Evelyn's feelings, but also everyone else's.
Although the Common Book is targeted toward incoming freshmen, I believe there is value in reading it
regardless of your education status. It will allow me to connect with new students and the KU community who have read it. Last year's book did not have widespread appeal or accessibility. This year's book can be read in a day, but still manages to address important and pressing topics. Anyone who will work heavily with incoming students should set aside a few hours to read the novel, and reflect on it.
A bildungsroman story, I always enjoy seeing character progression through transitional times in life. Though the ending turned out well in a conventional sense, I couldn't help but feel a pinch of sadness. Maybe because Evelyn's friend Travis, has a life that perpetuates a vicious cycle, maybe because of the car accident, maybe the unfortunate cover choice that will discourage any guy from reading this book, or maybe because the story ended. So even if you aren't an incoming freshman, I recommend you pick this book up. It's a quick read, and it will make you think. The novel tells how Evelyn came from Kerrville to Larryville, leaving us to reflect on our own journeys to KU.

We've all seen the movies right? College is hard — late nights studying for exams, waking up for those dreaded 8 a.m. classes, not having enough hours in the day and dealing with people from walks of life way different than yours. However, there are a lot of things that the movies, alumni and current students do not tell you.
It doesn't matter how attractive you are because not everyone cares about physical appearance. Your hair doesn't have to be long and glossy, it doesn't matter how many hours you spend at the Rec and it certainly doesn't matter if you're a part of Greek life.
Your grades do not always represent how much work you put into something. You could have pulled an all-nighter for a chemistry test and still flunk. Trust me, I've seen it happen several times. However, sometimes people don't study for a test at all and manage to get an A. Even if you don't get a good grade at first, don't give up on a class based off one score. There is always the chance next time will end up much better.
Getting blackout drunk is not fun. Just don't do it. Memories are one of the most precious things in life, especially in college. Do not let a liquid substance be the reason why an entire night of your beautiful life is lost forever. Value your memories more than that.
Learn to appreciate the people who pick you up
By Anissa Fritz
@Anissa Fritz
when you're drunk. These are the people who care about you the most. Buy them breakfast the next morning or just let them know they are appreciated. These are the people who stayed sober and didn't escape college stress on the weekends with a bottle of alcohol. The ones who pick you up, put you in bed with a glass of water and a trash can next to you are the ones you need to treasure and value. Not everyone will do these things for you. Selfless people are the hardest to find and yet the best to have. So if you find one, cherish them and let them know you love them.
No matter how many movies you've seen or how many times you've pictured the college life in your head, I guarantee you it is not what you imagined it to be. People are constantly evolving. Everyone in college is trying to figure their world out, which is the beauty of it. College forces people's worlds to collide with others, and sometimes these turn out to be the best friendships. That part is very accurate. You'll meet the worst and the best people in college. Enjoy both types. Lessons are just as good as friendships.

Don't let certain hassles prevent you from biking on campus
From trekking up a giant hill to trying to figure out the bus schedules, getting around campus can be a hassle. Most people walk, drive or hitch a ride in some type of automobile to navigate around the University, but for me, biking has come to be the transportation of choice.
Biking around campus seems like a difficult task, but it's something that provides
several benefits. Biking is a faster alternative to walking or waiting for the bus, and it also helps you get in shape.
There are some difficulties with biking, especially when there are classes that require you to go from the bottom of the hill, back up to the top, and then to the bottom again, but biking is a great workout, and doing it enough times can get you very physically fit.
By Tyler Yunk
opinion@kansan.com
Leaving campus is much easier because it is mainly downhill with little work involved.
The other tricky thing about using a bike on campus is finding a good spot to park and lock your bike up. There are many bike racks located on campus, with the most useful in front of Budig. The easiest
thing to do is to find a spot that gets you to all of your classes the quickest, allowing you to make it to a couple classes without the hassle of moving your bike around.
Biking takes a lot of work and commitment, which is why in this day and age many students would rather hop on a bus. However, the benefits you earn from biking are neverending. I always choose
to bike because biking around campus can make you feel accomplished, showing you what you are capable of.
Biking is something that many more people should try, not only for personal health benefits, but for environmental factors as well. It is a quicker alternative to walking or waiting in line to get on a crowded bus.
The benefits to biking will
begin to show as the trips up to campus become easier and easier. To any new students looking for a new way to get in shape, or a way to campus, pick up your bike and ride.

Clickbait stories improperly attract readers with poor tactics
News is rapidly moving to the web. Newspapers are hopping online and searching for new revenue streams.As paywalls fail and sites compete for clicks, article accuracy is losing out to a need to provoke readers into reading.
Banner ads have lost their effectiveness. Everyone and their mom knows clickable ads could contain a virus, or at best, just another ad. That realization has sent advertisers and websites scrambling.
The buzzword of journalists everywhere these days is "native advertisement," where publications disguise advertisements as articles. While a bit shady, sponsored content is usually marked as
such, albeit in subtle ways. Clickbait is anything but.
Clickbait takes many forms. Some websites write their headlines to be as inflammatory as possible. Other sites make a controversy out of speculation, stretching the meaning of "reporting the facts" to its breaking point.
By Wil Kenney
@wilkenney
In the wake of Robin Williams' death, an article on Gene Simmons made rounds. He was quoted time and time again telling depressed people to kill themselves. Though incredibly insensitive and poorly timed, he made the comments nearly two weeks before Williams had passed. Dozens of news sources characterized Simmons' comments after the fact, for
no reason than to drum up controversy and thus, clicks
Clickbait, listicles and slideshows with new slides on its own webpage are just some of the ways that news sources are clawing at revenue wherever they can. Every piece of news is becoming more about its click potential than anything else, which means reporting the facts takes a backseat.
As more and more
Americans realize that TV news is a biased wasteland, they're turning to the Internet as their primary news source. But with the advent of ad tactics like clickbait, they're hopping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
The power of a news publication is in the trustworthiness of its name. When recognized and established papers post articles, they're obviously given more credence than Joe-Shmoe.com. When those same publications begin to post cheap articles aimed at provoking someone into a click, the whole system suffers.
Real news, sponsored news, and clickbait will begin to look more and more similar until
there is no real difference. Every post will be a political rant disguised as news. The news will become one longform advertisement and the actual, run-of-the-mill news will get drowned out.
It's hard to find someone to blame for this collapse. While newspapers and news sites are guilty of these tactics, they're only a natural response to how modern America consumes news.
While pinning blame is a challenge, finding a solution is even harder. It seems impossible to change the American need for indignation. Being constantly angry with some politician or news event seems to have become a national addiction.
Even if we found out how to curb that need back, it's still only treating a symptom.
The best way we can move forward is to treat every news article as clickbait. Recognizing these changes and keeping them in mind is essential to cut through the various layers of bias and advertisements. Likewise, checking multiple sources should be the standard. Ensure that the news article you just read isn't simple speculation and exaggeration. Treat every news source, even those you've read for years, with a renewed critical mind.

Take a humanitarian perspective on immigration issues
Approximately 63,000 unaccompanied children have crossed the United States' southern border since October of last year, according to the New York Times. The number of children immigrating illegally has nearly doubled over the past year. The responses to this crisis have been varied and, at times, extreme. Anti-immigration groups have blocked buses trying to cross the border, and Texas governor Rick Perry stated that he plans on deploying 1,000 National Guard troops to guard the border.
The conservative response to this issue lacks empathy and depth of understanding. Children from Central America are fleeing violence and poverty by seeking
asylum in the US. This perspective needs to shift. The problem does not stem from a lack of border security but rather from a humanitarian crisis occurring in Central America.
The children coming to the United States are primarily fleeing from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, according to The Guardian. All of these countries have high rates of poverty and violence, and families often face financial extortion from gangs. A United Nations report states that Honduras has the highest number of murders per capita in the world, while El Salvador and Guatemala are fourth and fifth, respectively. Children and families from these countries face threats and

daily stresses unimaginable to residents of the United States. In addition, those who choose to flee to the US face incredible hardships, both financial and emotional.
Children who cross the border illegally from Central America cannot be immediately deported, thanks to a Bush-era law. When immigrants are released from custody they are given a trial date, often years away. Most are unable to obtain representation in the court
system due to the lack of immigration lawyers and high costs. Central American children are forced, if they make their court date, to face the American legal system without knowledge of the law. National Public Radio reported that 90 percent of children who lack representation fail to show up for their second trial. This statistic reverses itself, though, when they do have representation. Advocates have called for providing lawyers for all of the immigrants going to trial. However, even when these immigrants have lawyers, their case for seeking asylum is often weak and unlikely to succeed.
The conservative reaction to the crisis has been strong.
Erroneous and ridiculous statements have surfaced; claims have been made that immigrants may bring Ebola into the United States or weaken the nation's economy. In truth, the children crossing the border pose no threat to the American population. They are simply seeking safety and opportunity, and those who are deported often end up worse off than when they left.
Solving the problems in Central America would slow the influx of illegal immigrants and help millions of people in need. The U.S. has a responsibility to do this; it is largely due to U.S. involvement in the region during the later half of the 20th century that the region is so volatile, according to the
Huffington Post. In addition to fixing problems in Central America, policy in the United States must change, easing the path to citizenship. Deporting all of these children is not a solution. Those who advocate sending children back to areas fraught with danger and lacking opportunity need to think about the individual humans they are condemning.

CAMPUS
Textbooks should have more alternative forms
As school is right around the corner, one cannot help but think of the huge burden textbooks can put on college students. It is unfortunate to spend all summer working just to spend hundreds of dollars on books. In fact, professors rarely assign the whole book to be read anyways.
This concept of textbooks is quite puzzling to me. Yes, textbooks have their purposes; after all, what kind of class would not have some sort of reading assignment? There has to be some type of medium that students and professors can use for information. It is important for students to be on the same page as professors (pun intended). This is why finding an alternative to buying overpriced textbooks is a smart idea.
Textbooks come at a hefty price, so to fix this problem the question becomes: What is a more convenient alternative to standard textbooks? The obvious solution would be using online books. However, one of the negative aspects of online books is sometimes they can be equally as
By Rebeka Luttinger
@reebs11
expensive as the hardcopy.
Besides the fact that one can
sell back a textbook when the
semester is over, what is the
point of an online textbook if
the prices are the exact same?
If it were up to me, I would come up with a system that made online textbooks significantly cheaper than regular textbooks, with an option to purchase by chapter. This system would allow for students to read online at any time they choose and pay for only the assigned reading. This could help fix a problem students have when textbooks are a requirement, only to discover just a few chapters of the book needed to be read.
When tablets first came out people had a hard time adjusting to a swipe of screen versus no real page turning being involved. Yet today, many people prefer reading
on their electronic devices. The convenience of having all your books in one space is hard to beat, but sometimes e-books aren't for everyone. Many students like the ease of highlighting and annotating readings professors assign. Some even mark pages by placing sticky notes or folding the page. While there are apps that allow you to do these things, it can take away the feeling of the actual textbook experience.
It seems clear to me that students should be the ones to decide whether they prefer the old fashioned textbook or the ever-popular electronic book. Some professors, if given the option, allow students to choose whether they want to use a hardcopy textbook, or an e-book. This is the way it should be with all classes. Since students are the ones reading the books, they should ultimately get to decide which option they prefer.

ACADEMICS
RateMyProfessor site is useful in picking classes
It's the first day of class. You walk into Budig 120, searching for a good seat. You're nervous and surrounded by hundreds of your peers, scanning the room for a familiar face. You spot the professor at the front of the room and think to yourself, "I wonder what he or she is going to be like" or "How difficult is this class going to be?" But you don't have to wait two weeks into the semester to figure it out.
Students have been contributing their reviews and ratings of almost every professor on RateMyProfessors.com for years. The website is dedicated to posting student-written reviews of universities' professors for the public. The website is set up so every post is anonymous,therefore allowing honest reviews to be written.According to the site, it has more than 14 million professor ratings, thus making it the highest trafficked site for professor ratings.
By Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
My advice to all students during these first few days before the semester is to look up some of your Fall 2014 professors. Check to see his or her difficulty, helpfulness and clarity ratings. View the comments made by students who have already taken the course. These reviews are posted for your benefit because your peers want you to be able to go into class on the first day knowing what to expect from each professor.
That being said, I am not advising all students taking a course with a difficult professor to drop. I am saying students should be aware of what his or her professor expects out of their students. It is obvious that high-level courses are going to be taught by more demanding professors, so do not let that intimidate you. Regardless of ratings, the professors here are trained to be helpful and available to all of their students.
Websites
Websites like RateMyProfessors. com are designed to be a guide for students. They provide point of views on the honest expectations of professors, which can be excluded from the syllabus given the first day. It is a great aid for students who are choosing classes based on professors. The site gives the information students want to know about their professors.
If you have a professor you avidly admire, post a review on the RateMyProfessors page. If you have had a professor who didn't respect your comments or flatout wasn't a great teacher, write on their page. This site will continue to get better the more students write their feedback. So before you walk into your first class Monday, check out RateMyProfessors to see what other students have to say.

Student Council Approves Vote
By Paul Milton
The Civil Service has lost a man who was the chief of staff for President John F. Kennedy in 1963, and whose death was surrounded by grief.
Mr. Milton, a civil servant with a master's degree in history from the University of Pennsylvania, was appointed to the position of chief of staff for President John F. Kennedy in April 1963. He was present at the funeral service on April 20th, where he received an award from the National Order of Merit.
SUCCESS was re-reported by his brother, Dr. Robert Milton, as a successor to Mr. Milton's appointment. Dr. Milton also served as chairman of the board of the American Medical Association.
On the April 27th, Mr. Milton wrote a letter to the President of the United States, addressing the grief felt by the family. He said that he was "saddened by the loss of my beloved father."
NORWALK, was appointed by the Governor of New York to the position of governor. The proposal was developed in the form of a bill, which proposed that the governor be elected by the members of the House and Senate. The bill was approved by the House and Senate and passed into law on October 19, 1923. The bill granted the governor the power to preside over the state government and to make laws. The bill also allowed the governor to veto legislation passed by the House and Senate. The bill was signed into law on December 1, 1923.

WGSS department debuts human sexuality major
BETH FENTRESS
@ElizaFentress
The University recently added a new major to its course catalog, one that will tackle issues such as human trafficking, domestic violence and health discrimination in contemporary society: human sexuality.
KU is of only a handful of universities in the nation to offer this degree. Alesha Doan, department chair of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, said the degree will be beneficial to students seeking careers in advocacy and policy.
"Students who are interested in acquiring cross-cultural and interdisciplinary skills that are designed to find solutions to vexing social inequalities would want to pursue a major in human sexuality," Doan said.
Danny Anderson, dean of
the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, believes human sexuality provides a unique lens to view current issues. The 2014-15 academic year will mark the first year of the human sexuality major's availability to KU students.
"Departments in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences constantly assess degree offerings to ensure students will graduate KU prepared to make an impact," Anderson said. "The new major in human sexuality provides a crucial perspective to address many of the biggest issues of our time, such as human trafficking."
the level of support for a human sexuality major. The results showed high approval. However, the proposed major still had to survive an arduous approval process.
The WGSS department began offering a human sexuality minor in 2008. Eventually, in the 2011-12 school year, a human sexuality student petitioned to create a major for the subject. In response, a survey was administered in February 2012 to evaluate
"The process of creating a new major is extensive,"
"The new major in human sexuality provides a crucial perspective to address many of the biggest issues of our time, such as human trafficking."
DANNY ANDERSON Dean of College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
Doan said. "It requires a commitment from the department proposing the major, the college and the University, which WGSS has
been fortunate to receive throughout this process. Additionally, WGSS is an interdisciplinary department that collaborates with many other departments at KU. Therefore, we also needed to establish a commitment from other departments to assist WGSS in delivering a new major."
To create the new major, a formal proposal was drafted that explained the necessity of the degree, the positive effects of the degree, and the resources required for carrying out the degree. The proposal was then reviewed, revised and resubmitted. After it was approved from all sides, it was passed on to the Board of Regents for final approval.
When a new major is created, defining the major is a complex task. Human sexuality majors will study the trauma of domestic abuse,
modern-day slavery and unfair health standards.
But what is human sexuality? Which subjects can be categorized as human sexuality, and which fall into another field of study? Doan provided a definition of her own.
"This field investigates the ways in which sexuality is shaped by other social differences such as race, gender,
class, disability, religion, nationality and ethnicity" Doan said. "Studying these significant issues of inequality requires an exploration of the historical, political, biological, cultural, sociological, educational, legal, health, aesthetic and psychological contexts of human sexuality."

Accelerated program to offer IT degree in 3 years
DALTON KINGERY
@DaltonKingeryNews
In a collaborative effort between the Blue Valley School District, Olathe School District, Johnson County Community College and the University of Kansas Edwards Campus, students will now be able to obtain a bachelor's degree in information technology in only three years.
The "Degree in 3" program, which began in 2013, allows students in the Blue Valley and Olathe school districts to accelerate their academic timetable by taking advanced placement and dual credit classes in high school. After graduating from high school, students in the program enroll in JCCC to finish the remainder of their general education courses. Upon completion of all the necessary coursework, students then transfer to the University's Edwards Campus to complete their bachelor's degree.
“It's an interesting collaboration between KU, Johnson County and the local school districts,” said Steve Case, director of the center for STEM learning and K-12 liaison for the Edwards
Campus. "For some students, it's a better learning model. Students aren't just learning theories, but they're applying them in practical ways."
The accelerated nature of the program helps students financially by reducing the number of years spent in school and getting them into the workforce of an industry with available jobs. Many of the students also participate in paid internships and work on entrepreneurial projects while in the program further enhancing the program's financial appeal.
"It's an interesting collaboration between KU, Johnson County and the local school districts."
STEVE CASE Director of center for STEM learning
"Students are able to move forward and get into their careers quicker," said Lauren McEnaney, an information technology advisor. "I definitely don't see it as a substitute for the traditional
college experience, because this program isn't for everyone. But the traditional college experience isn't for everyone either."
With a "Degree in 3" pathway for obtaining a degree in exercise science, McEnaney sees room for growth and envisions a wider variety of pathways being created to fill needs in the workforce.
"IT opens up a lot of career options," said Gerardo Echeverria, a sophomore from Topeka majoring in Information Systems Technology. "I think it's actually really cool that they are willing to make things easier and faster for their students."
The program is generating positive buzz amongst students as well.
The program is an enticing option for many, and Case stressed its focused nature.
"This isn't the option for everybody; there is no silver bullet. But this is more focused," Case said. "At the end of the day, it gives students more options for their education, and that's what is important."

CAMPUS POLITICS
Student Senate prepares for upcoming semester
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
Student Senate spent the summer session getting adjusted to office while planning for the upcoming year and tackling unexpected issues.
For the past few weeks, the senate has focused on the decision and reversal of the new hours policy that took effect July 29 and caused concern with undergraduate students, who had no prior knowledge of the change in policy. The policy stated that students could work no more than 20 hours for on-campus jobs, but the decision was quickly reversed.
Morgan Said, student body president, said she worked closely with the University's human resources department. Said that she was happy to accomplish an early victory for students.
"That was a really fun win, I think, for the student population, coming into the school year," Said said.
Said also said that the fall concert platform previously supported by the senate was too ambitious with too little turnaround time to start this fall, and they are currently looking at dates in the
Said said that her staff worked alongside administration to get the reversal. She said the process involved many meetings and email exchanges, and a lot of work specifically with the HR department.
spring instead.
Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner and Chief of Staff Mitchell Cota have been working on drafting the legislation for hiring a Social Equity director that would serve on the Student Senate. They plan on putting the legislation through the first senate cycle and to begin hiring for the position at the time if the bill passes.
"Our goal for the year is to get everyone at the University to see things through a student lens."
MORGAN SAID Student body president
They also held an open forum about the position that was open to students and administrators to give feedback and help shape what the position would look like.
"This is someone who is going to be working to advocate for marginalized students and multicultural groups,working closely with the Office of Multicultural Affairs but also the new Vice Provost of Diversity and Equity," Wagner said.
Wagner said the new vice provost, Nate Thomas, has already offered to be the advisor for the Social Equity Director, if the bill should pass.
Cota rewrote the Senate Rules and Regulations to have it ready for the start of the school year.
Cota and Waener are also working to prepare for the first legislative cycle and the senate training session.
FOLLOW @KansanNews FOR UPDATES ALL DAY LONG
"Since the majority of our senators this year are probably going to be pretty brand new, or maybe they've only gone to committee before, it's going to be really important that it's thorough," Wagner said.
The three also agreed that more new senators can be a positive change.
"New senators are more likely to challenge the status quo and I think that's something we're looking forward to," Cota said.
Cota said there were 104 seats to be filled but that many of those are by appointment through student groups on campus who are guaranteed representation in Senate. They plan to start the committee to get replacement senators during legislative training, so they can have some seats filled by the first cycle.
The main idea the senate exec wants to emphasize this year is bringing student voices back into the conversation on campus.
"Our goal for the year is to get everyone at the University to see things through a student lens," Said said.

RILEY MORTENSEN
news@kansan.com
On July 26, Lawrence community members gathered for the opening of the new public library at 707 Vermont St. Since opening, the library has registered more than 1,500 new library cards and hopes to add more with the start of the school year.
Marketing coordinator Jeni Daley said she thinks the new resources the library has to offer will surprise students. Along with the traditional books and media collections, the new library also offers a sound and vision space complete with its own recording studio and three editing booths with software such as Adobe Creative Suite and Pro Tools 11.
Daley, a KU alumna who majored in journalism, said when she was in school she needed expensive resources like Adobe Illustrator.
Knowing the public library now has programs like that is cool. Daley said.
"We are evolving as a library and we always want to adapt to the current needs of what our community is looking for," Daley said.
The library has also added about 20,000 square feet of space to provide more study spaces, large meeting rooms, an auditorium, a coffee stand and updated technology.
Daley said the public library offers students the opportunity to get off campus to study and be part of the community.
Library cards are free to any resident of northeast Kansas. Anyone wanting to sign up for a card must present photo identification and proof of residency, such as a utility bill. For students living in the dorms, a piece of mail with a dorm address will work.
Daley also said while many see campus libraries and public libraries as competitors, they each serve a purpose and prefer to work together on projects.
"We love working with them, and the idea is we just
have different goals that complement one another," Daley said. "A university campus is great for most of your research you can get done there and have some really knowledgeable academic librarians, but the public library has really started to change in general." Here's what to expect at campus libraries this semester:
WATSON LIBRARY
Watson Library offers:
Humanities library, linguistics,
literature, children's story
books for education majors,
large fiction collections, lots
of study areas, computers,
printers, quiet areas and
subject study librarians for
more detailed questions.
What's new: "We still have the writing center and the graduate study lounge, but
we've been working to update them," said library assistant Laura Skarka.
"We love working with [KU], and the idea is we just have different goals that complement one another."
JENI DALEY
Lawrence Public Library
marketing coordinator
Students choose this library because: "It's quiet, it's centrally located, particularly if you're taking a humanities-oriented degree this is where you're going to come to find all of your stuff," Skarka said. "They also probably like the fact that when school's in session we have a snack shop
so you don't have to study hungry. When I was a student here they didn't allow food in the library at all. You'd get scolded by a librarian if you tried to bring something in with you and now there's a cafeteria."
ANSCHUTZ LIBRARY
Anschutz Library offers: Science books, maps, government documents, microform, education books and part of the business books. Learning studio on the third and fourth floor, computers, express printing and group study rooms.
"Both Watson and us have business," said Robert Szabo, manager of Anschutz Library. "We have the stuff that kind of relates to what goes on in Summerfield and Watson has stuff that's done more by people in
economics. We also have the thesis and dissertations for the University. We have the writing center, they're headquartered here ... 40 percent of all printing is done at those three express printers."
What's new: "Seven study rooms, which used to be offices and a new study area in the northwest corner of the third floor," Szabo said. "We will also have two new rooms, which will be scheduled separately by instructors or tutors. Seven new tables have been added on the first floor, west of the maps collection."
Students choose this library because: Central location, social atmosphere and resources offered.
SPENCER RESEARCH LIBRARY
Spencer Research Library offers: University archives,
Kansas Collection, Special Collections and varied artifacts from a 4,000-year-old clay tablet to artists books that have come out this year.
What's new: "We're always getting new collections," said Elspeth Healey, special collections librarian. "We have a few coming up, for example 'Ornithological Illustrations in the Age of Darwin: The Making of John Gould's Bird Books.' The Kansas Collection is always adding more papers."
Students choose this library because: "The materials that are housed here — if students want to come and do original research they come here," Healey said. "Faculty members also want students to gain the experience of seeing the artifacts, so many classes are brought here throughout the semester."

Man killed by police in Wichita suburb
HAYSVILLE — A Kansas police chief says an officer responding to a domestic disturbance shot and killed a man in suburban Wichita.
The Wichita Eagle reports Haysville police were called to an apartment around 10:45 a.m. Tuesday and found a woman injured amid an ongoing disturbance.
The woman was hospitalized. This was the Wichita area's second fatal shooting by law enforcement in the past week. A Newton police officer answering a domestic violence call Thursday killed a man who authorities said refused to drop a hunting knife.
Haysville Police Chief Jeff Whitfield says an officer shot the man in a confrontation, but it's not clear what tle shooting was in response to.

NASA awards $500,000 to supernova research
J. R.
MICHAEL O'BRIEN/KANSAN
DALTON KINGERY
@DaltonKingeryNews
Dr. Adrian Melott, a professor of physics and astronomy, leads the KU Astrophysics Biology Working Group, which just received $500,000 from NASA to study the effects of a supernova occurring near Earth.
Of all the events that take place in the vast universe we live in, a supernova may be one of the most fascinating. These stellar explosions are the last breath of dying stars, and they release an amount of energy rivaling what the exploding star emitted throughout its entire lifespan, with the shock waves of the explosion traveling at up to 18,000 miles per second.
In May, NASA awarded a team of researchers $500,000 to fully assess the effects of a supernova occurring near Earth.
The group, named the KU Astrophysics Biology Working Group, is led by Adrian Melott, professor of physics and astronomy at the University. Melott, along with University alumni Andrew Overholt of MidAmerica Nazarene University and Brian Thomas of Washburn University, will analyze past evidence and computer models to produce the most detailed reports to date of the effects of a supernova within 30 lightyears of Earth.
Melott has been involved with supernovae research for some time, but did not begin working on this particular
project until he learned that his team had received funding.
"There's actual evidence that a supernova occurred nearby 2.5 million years ago," Melott said. "The research will help to understand any effects a supernova had in the past, which will tell us more about what could happen in the future."
"This is something that is important, and has relevance," said Ben Neuenswander, a member of the research support staff at the Specialized Chemistry Center who is assisting Melott with the research. "The research in general will answer questions
Before heading to the local nuclear fallout bunker, know that no supernovae are expected to occur near Earth anytime soon, but they occur two-to-three times every century within the Milky Way, making research into their possible effects on humankind necessary. Melott said in a press release that supernovae occurring within 30 light years of Earth, or the distance considered "Near-Earth," are only likely to occur every few hundred million years.
about what might happen if a supernova goes off near us. It could help us prepare for an event like that."

"Supernovae as events are really popular with the public, and supernova remnants are really beautiful," said Samantha Brunker, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., majoring in astronomy and physics. "I feel really proud that KU does so much top-notch research like this."

Members of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department's Urban Search and Rescue team prepare to recover the body of Erin Corwin from an abandoned mine shaft near Twentynine Palms, Calif., on Sunday.
Sheriff says ex-Marine researched body disposal
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA ANA, Calif. — A former Marine charged Tuesday with murder after the body of his alleged lover was found in an abandoned California mine shaft had been looking into how to dispose of a human body, a sheriff's investigator said.
Christopher Lee, 24, admitted conducting Internet searches on human body disposal, and a witness told detectives that Lee asked him "what was the best way to dispose of a human body," a sheriff's investigator wrote in a document filed in San Bernardino County Superior Court in support of an arrest warrant.
Lee was arrested Sunday in Anchorage, Alaska, a day after Corwin's body was spotted with a video camera down the 140-foot shaft on federal land near Twentynine Palms, where her husband, who was also a Marine, was stationed. Lee was scheduled to appear in an Alaska court Tuesday afternoon.
shaft. The head stamp from the casings matched those on casings found in Lee's vehicle and home, the document said.
In addition, 22-caliber fired casings and rebar were recovered from the scene where the body of 19-year-old Erin Cortwin was found late Saturday in an abandoned mine
ings. Her husband, Marine Cpl. Jonathan Corwin, reported her missing the next day.
Prosecutors in California charged Lee with murder with a special circumstance allegation of lying in wait, which enables them to potentially seek the death penalty, the San Bernardino County district attorney's office said in a statement.
Corwin was in the early stages of pregnancy when she disappeared on June 28, according to earlier court fil-
Erin Corwin's friend told investigators that Corwin and Lee were having an affair and that the unborn child might be Lee's, according to the earlier filings. Corwin told the friend that Lee was worried his wife might divorce him and prevent him from spending time with his child if she knew Corwin was pregnant, the papers say.
Corwin told her husband when she left that day that she was going to scout out hiking trails in Joshua Tree National Park that she and her mother could explore when her mother visited a few days later. But the friend showed authorities text messages that said Corwin was planning to go on a special hunting trip with Lee the day she disappeared.

Black Men's Union targets graduation rates representation of black student community
REID EGGLESTON

Inspired by a similar and successful initiative at Yale University, the Black Men's Union will begin meeting this September to approach the specific needs of the University's black male population.
The organization has its sights on augmenting the currently projected four-year national graduation rate of 18 percent for black males, according to Caleb Bobo, a junior from St. Louis and founder of the Black Men's Union. The University's most recent count notched the four-year graduation rate for Caucasian students at 40 percent.
Bobo believes in inspiring the black male community to become successful students and that a fair amount of campus lobbying are the solutions to this issue.
"It's hard for a black student to find a place at this predominantly white school," Bobo said. "But I think fostering the next wave of African American leaders makes this challenge a little bit easier to tackle. A strong black male community makes for a better KU."
A highlight of the group is their mentorship program, which pairs freshmen and sophomores with upperclassmen in order to help them navigate the byways of collegiate success.
The Black Student Union, another prominent black social group focused on community building, offered a similar mentorship program to its
attendees in the past, matching students based on proximity and plans of study, but Bobo asserts the fraternal nature of the new group will bolster this initiative's foundations.
Kareem Wall, a junior from Charleston, S.C., and the group'sdirector of membership, is enthralled at the opportunity to provide the support he wishes hed received when he arrived at the University.
"I can actually be a part of someone's personal change," he said. "I want to make KU closer to home for everyone."
"At the end of the day, we're always going to support each other because we're such a small community at KU."
KAT RAINEY Senior from Shawnee
Wall, responsible for the launch of the mentorship program, found himself in an academic mire after his sophomore year at KU.
"When I came here as an out-of-state freshman, I struggled. I mean, I knew no one, and I felt like I had no connection to the school," Wall said. "This led to my dismissal from KU. Then I came back and got more involved. I think it has put me in a position to share my personal experiences for other black men who feel out of place."
In order to embed this sense of belonging into the black male community, the Black Men's Union will offer monthly
activities, including speaking engagements from prominent members of the local black community and social events, as well as a banquet honoring black women for their successes at the University.
And while the club's founding year brings with it the pursuit of diverse avenues of exploration, the group does have a unifying goal.
"We've found that African Americans are often great leaders within the black community, but we want to expose African American males to the rest of the KU community," Bobo said.
To his point, Bobo, a member of Student Senate and the Student Alumni Leadership Board, finds black representation on these bodies sparse. He is one of only three black participants currently on the Student Endowment Board.
Devante Green, a senior from Lawrence, agrees that "if our black men dwindle any more, the definition of what it means to be a Jayhawk changes."
Beyond this, there are a number of issues that pose barriers to the Black Men's Union's success, principally that of funding.
Unless the KU Black Alumni chapter donates a large chunk of money, Bobo sees the lion's share of the group's funding coming from students themselves. Still, he is optimistic that those who benefited from black community organizations in the University's past will rise to the occasion and share Bobo's vision.
"We've had a huge response from the KU Black Alumni chapter, whose members often did what we'd like our members to do." Bobo said. "They transferred from being students into having professional careers in law and medicine, among other things."
The Union also gains from shared resources that the interwoven black community at the University provides.
"The black student groups are very intertwined and all members have a hand in some other organization," Wall said.
In accordance with Wall, Kat Rainey, a senior from Shawnee and former leader of the Black Student Union, acknowledges the importance of minority student groups sharing a common vision.
"At the end of the day, we're always going to support each other because we're such a small community at KU," she said, referring to the University's black population, which currently composes only four percent of the student body, according to collegeportraits.org.
Rainey notes that black men make up only about 30 percent of the Black Student Union, and that their underrepresentation even within the black community necessitates the founding of the Black Men's Union.
The group is optimistic for a successful maiden year, particularly in light of interest accrued through Twitter, with 135 followers, and Facebook, with 97 likes.

University parking forgiveness program allows students to cancel tickets with quiz
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU
Seven months have passed since the Parking Ticket Forgiveness program became available for students and since then, 318 students have taken the quiz and 205 tickets have been canceled.
The program is an effort to give students a chance to learn why they received a ticket so they can learn from their mistakes through a 20-question quiz.
"There are questions about what hours we ticket lots,about yellow zones and red and blue and gold zones versus how to read the residence hall signs," said Margretta de Vries, an administrative professional with KU Parking & Transit.
Donna R. Hultine, the director of Parking & Transit, said educating people about not getting tickets when they receive them is important and, after review, the department may forgive the ticket.
Hutline says the University has lost 600 working stalls to construction, and she could see people going into sections of the Lied Center where they don't belong because of overflow.
It was student conceived from someone who saw a need... Sometimes I think we are so close to stuff we can't see it."
DONNA R. HULTINE
KU Parking & Transit director
"Those would be great applications for taking that quiz," Hultine said.
However, only certain kinds of tickets may be canceled after taking the quiz. Group 1 violations are seen as tickets that qualify for the Parking Ticket Forgiveness Program. According to the Parking & Transit website, group 1
violations include parking in the wrong zone, having an invalid permit, parking in a restricted area and overstaying a time limit.
Marcus Tetwiler, last year's student body president, proposed the initiative for the program. Hultine said Tetwiler was well versed in this topic because he had worked as a transit coordinator.
"It was student conceived from someone who saw a need and I think it's great because sometimes I think we are so close to stuff we can't see it," Hultine said.
Although Tetwiler has since graduated, he said he feels confident that the program offers students more than just a slap on the wrist, and saves them from unwanted frustration.
"Now, instead of facing punitive action, transitioning Jayhawks are granted an educational opportunity and a little financial relief," Tetwiler said.

The Obama administration is promising to change the way travelers can ask to be removed from its no-fly list of suspected terrorists banned from air travel.
The decision comes after a federal judge's ruling that there was no meaningful way to challenge the designation, a situation deemed unconstitutional. In response, the Justice Department said the U.S. will change the process during the next six months. As of late last summer, about 48,000 people were on the no-fly list.
Abe Mashal, who was unable to print his boarding pass before a flight out of Chicago four years ago, poses for a photo at his home in St. Charles, Ill. The Obama administration is promising to change the way travelers can ask to be removed from its no-fly list of suspected terrorists banned from air travel.
The government's policy is never to confirm or deny that a person actually is on the no-fly list, citing national security concerns. In most instances, travelers assume they are on the list because they are instructed to go through additional screening at airports or because they are told they can't board their flights to, from or within the United States.
Liberties Union.
"It's long past time for the government to revamp its general procedures," said Hina Shamsi, an attorney with the American Civil
The no-fly list is one of the government's most controversial post-9/11 counterterrorism programs because of its lack of due process, long criticized because people cannot know why they were placed on the list and lack a way to fight the decision. Changing how people can challenge their designation could amount to one of the government's most significant adjustments to how it manages the list.
Shamsi is among the attorneyns who represent 13 plaintiffs who sued the federal government over the current policy, saying it violates their constitutional right to due process. Earlier this summer, a federal judge in Portland, Ore., agreed with them. The Portland case is one of five around the country challenging some aspect of the terror watch lists.
So far, the government is offering few details about upcoming changes. In a court filing earlier this month, it said it will "endeavor to increase transparency for certain individuals denied boarding who believe they are on the No Fly List."
"It's long past time for government to revamp its general procedures." HINA SHAMSI Attorney with the ACLIU
Mashal appealed the same day but six months later the government responded, "no changes or corrections are warranted at this time." He
One of the plaintiffs in the Portland lawsuit, Abe Mashal, was unable to print his boarding pass before a flight out of Chicago four years ago. A counter representative told him he was on the no-fly list and would not be allowed to board. Mashal was surrounded by about 30 law enforcement officials, he said.
appealed the decision in May 2011. Nine months later, the government said its ruling was final.
The appeals process, known as redress, was started in 2007. The government receives tens of thousands of applications a year, according to court documents.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
But 99 percent of those complaints are unrelated to the terror watch lists, the current director of the Terrorist Screening Center, Christopher Piehota, said in a November 2010 declaration related to a California nofly list lawsuit. At the time, Piehota was deputy director of operations at the center, which determines whether someone is appropriately on a terror watch list.
In 2013, 752 redress complaints were shared with the Terrorist Screening Center, according to information provided by the government in a separate federal lawsuit out of Virginia. Formal complaints led the U.S. to remove 100 people from a broad terror watch list, the no-fly list and a separate list of people who require additional screening at airports, the government said. It described the 752 complaints as just 1 percent of the total redress requests, indicating it received about 75,000 that year.
The screening center considered only 227 requests in 2009. After a near-miss terror attack on Christmas Day that year, the government revamped its watch-listing system and lowered the standard for the no-fly list. The number of people banned from air travel surged from about 3,400
at the end of 2009 to about 48,000 late last summer, intelligence officials have told The Associated Press.
After someone complains under the process, the government conducts a review. Once complete, the applicant is given a redress number to use when booking air travel reservations. Often this is done to resolve problems for people with similar names as someone on a terror watch list.
Mashal, a Marine veteran
who is now a dog trainer, said being on the no-fly list has cost him business clients and stopped him from attending a wedding, funeral and graduation.
After three years of avoiding air travel. Mashal purchased a ticket last summer. He was able to print his boarding pass at home, which he said was the first sign he might no longer be on the list. In 2013, he flew in June and October without incident. But he said he never
knows what to expect
"It's always something I have to think about now, because nobody knows why. I got put on the list, and nobody knows why they took me off," Mashal said. "It's always on my mind."
The Justice Department said it would reconsider Mashal's and the other Portland plaintiffs' requests after making its changes to the redress process. A judge will determine whether that is an appropriate response.

State sees general fund cut, tuition prices rise
LAUREN METZLER
@MetzlerLauren
Tuition prices at the University are following the same trend as the last 14 years tuition rates are going up.
In 2000, the lowest tier of credits cost $69.65, according to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule data provided by Brian McDow, senior associate director of the Office of the University Registrar. This is a striking difference from the current cost for incoming freshmen, which is $318.25.
Luckily for students, there is the option to lock in the tuition rate as a first-time degree-seeking freshman. Just
three short years ago in the fall of 2011, this year's seniors walked on campus for the first time and their first credit hour cost them $278.80.
This pattern can be seen across the state of Kansas. Tuition rates at the six major state universities in Kansas Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, University of Kansas, and Wichita State University have been on the rise for the past 25 years, said Breeze Richardson, director of communications for the Kansas Board of Regents.
Raising tuition is not something that each university
has complete control over. Each university works very closely with the Board of Regents, receiving its counsel in a yearlong process that begins in the fall and ends when the tuition proposals are submitted.
According to a memo sent out by the Kansas Board of Regents regarding tuition questions, the Board is in favor of restoring the funds lost from the 1.5 percent state budget cuts to university expenditures. If these cuts are restored, assuming required budget
"It's a misperception to think the tuition proposals are first seen in May, and then approved in June as an up or down vote," Richardson said.
increases and operational expenses stay constant, it is possible that tuition increases for the 2015 school year would be limited.
--financial aid all the more crucial. Making the University more affordable and providing incentive for prospective students was the reason behind creating four-year renewable scholarships.
However, this year's tuition increases exceeded the amount needed to simply offset budget cuts. At KU, a 2.5 percent tuition increase would have been sufficient to balance the cuts, according to the Board of Regents memo. Instead, tuition was raised by 4.9 percent this year.
Currently, 50 percent of KU students graduate with an average debt of $23,000, according to Gavin Young, assistant director of the Office of Public Affairs. This makes
"The idea was to take scholarship money that was really being handed out to upperclassmen ... and pooling that together and making those scholarship funds available to students at the beginning of their career," Young said.
Far Above is a comprehensive fundraising campaign by KU Endowment to increase the total number of scholarship dollars available to KU students.
"There was actually just an announcement today of a new scholarship for students who graduated from Hutchinson High School," Young said. "So you see scholarships of all types that come online thanks to Far Above."
But not all KU scholarship funds come exclusively from donors. Even though the University is asking for more money from students, some of that amount is returned back to the source.
"There is a certain amount of tuition funds that go toward financial aid," Young said.

University to soon offer classes at military bases
BETH FENTRESS
@ElizaFentress
During a typical deployment, soldiers will often find themselves in an unfamiliar place with no knowledge of the local culture and only the faintest grasp of the language, if they are lucky. The University has partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense to change that.
In 2013, the Department of Defense allocated $775,000 to the University in order to establish a Language Training Center. The center provides beginner language courses for Marines at Fort Leonard Wood and language maintenance training for officers at Fort Leavenworth who already have a foreign language background.
The goal of the program is to help soldiers expand their cultural knowledge.
If the typical Lawrence resident revved up their vehicle and drove northeast for 50 minutes, they will run into the oldest active Army installation west of the Mississippi: Fort Leavenworth. If this person then drove four hours southeast, they would find themselves in the vicinity of Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.
"To get awareness and knowledge of a culture it takes years and years of training," said Mike Denning, director for the Office of Graduate Military Programs. "We are really providing them with the foundation for future education opportunities."
One year before the University received the Language Training Center grant, it received a similar grant from the Department of Defense. Project GO (Global Officer) is a grant that gives scholarships to Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) students for summer language training both domestically and abroad. Project GO helped provide the
"We became aware of the Language Training Center a year after [Project GO]," Denning said. "The reason we became aware was because of Project GO."
foundation for the Language Training Center.
The Language Training Center began offering classes last year. At Fort Leavenworth, KU professors drove to the garrison and delivered face-to-face instruction in Arabic, Spanish, French, German and Korean. Persian language training will be offered in the future.
We are going to have to turn students away at this point. We have had too many applicants."
RANDY MASTEN
Assistant director, Office of
Graduate Military Programs
Randy Masten is a coprincipal investigator of the grant and assistant director of the Office of Graduate Military Programs. Masten said the classes at Fort Leavenworth, which have six to 10 students, are very different from traditional KU classes.
"Most of the target audience is non-traditional students at Fort Leavenworth," Masten said. "They are senior captains or majors who have been in the military 10 years and probably have several combat tours under their belt."
Mike DeHaven, the Project Pedagogy Specialist at the University, helped design the courses and also taught German at both military units. He interacted with students at a very direct level in the classroom.
"They are motivated," DeHaven said. "You know, they are older, so they have some life experience. They
approach things a little differently from a traditional student."
Fort Leonard Wood is located roughly four hours away from the University. Professors could not make the drive every week, so Synchronous and Asynchronous Language Training was put in motion.
"For Fort Leonard Wood, because it is taught at a distance, we had to consider the fact that the students aren't in the classroom here," DeHaven said. "They are separated from the instructor. How do we do the same thing we would do in a classroom?"
Synchronous and Asynchronous Language Training (S.A.L.T.), is a mixture of classroom study and online learning. Students Skype with instructors once or twice a week. Assignments and readings are posted on Blackboard.
However, the Internet access offered at the military posts was limited because the installations had their own internal systems, leading to IT difficulties.
Through this hybrid method of learning, students at Fort Leonard Wood can choose from a variety of language offerings, including French, Chinese, German, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.
Despite the technological problems, S.A.L.T. has expanded beyond Fort Leonard Wood. In October, the University will collaborate with the Air Force to provide classes at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., and Fort Nix, N.J. The Kansas National Guard has also expressed interest in language training.
Language classes at the bases have proved to be very popular.
"We are going to have to turn students away at this point," Masten said. "We have had too many applicants."

GOP intensifies efforts in Kansas gubernatorial race
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — The Republican Governors Association is spending $600,000 on a television ad buy attacking Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's Democratic challenger, the group said Tuesday.
The conservative Republican governor is facing a tougher-than-expected race against Democrat Paul Davis for a second, four-year term amid questions about whether his aggressive income tax cuts are boosting economic growth as promised or wrecking the state's finances.
The debut of the ad came as the group announced that its chairman, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, will be in Kansas City, Kan., on Wednesday to attend a public event with Brownback, followed by two closed fundraisers for the governor in nearby Mission Hills.
"We don't take any race for granted," RGA spokesman Jon Thompson said in an email. "Paul Davis has
tried to mask himself as a moderate, when that couldn't be further from the truth. He is a tax-and-spend liberal who has consistently supported Barack Obama's failed agenda. Kansas voters have a right to know who Paul Davis really is," he said of the ad.
Davis' campaign said Tuesday that he is focused on his own record of bringing people together to support schools, create jobs and find common sense solutions, noting more than 100 current and former Republican elected officials have endorsed Davis over the incumbent governor.
"Kansans are deeply concerned with Sam Brownback's 'experiment' and the damage it is doing to our schools, communities and economy," Davis campaign spokesman Chris Pumpelly said in an email. "The Republican Governors Association clearly recognizes how out of step and unpopular Sam Brownback's priorities are."
The 30-second spot accuses
Davis, the Kansas House minority leader, of spending his 12 years in office "voting against Kansas taxpayers." The ads contend Davis voted to raise sales taxes and opposed property tax relief while voting to tax construction equipment and farm trucks.
But the Davis campaign countered that the "record is clear" that Davis worked for Kansas families by voting to eliminate property tax on business machinery and equipment, to cut the corporate income tax and to get rid of the sales tax or groceries and food. Davis voted against Brownback's increase to the sales tax in 2013, and has supported proposals to provide real property tax relief as part of his school funding plans in 2012 and 2014, Pumpell said.
Brownback campaign spokesman John Milburn declined comment on the RGA's new ad, but expressed appreciation for Christies visit to Kansas in support of Brownback's campaign.

Students donate nearly $500,000 in items to community

DAVID HURTADO
Working with the Center for Community Outreach (CCO), over 3,500 KU students donated their time and nearly $500,000 in items to the Lawrence community during the 2013-14 school year.
Established in 1990, the CCO is a student-run organization that encourages KU students to reach out and make a difference in their community.
Mia Gonzalez, director of development and marketing at the Lawrence Community Shelter, said the drive allows the shelter to help additional
Agencies who benefited from these donations include the Ballard Community Center, Lawrence Community Shelter, The Willow Domestic Violence Center and Lawrence Public Schools.
people while focusing more on providing public services, like finding employment and health services.
"Particularly last year, we were distributed Tupperware, baby products, baby blankets, bags and things like that for over $200,000 dollars worth," Gonzalez said. "The donations really help our guests focus on the day-to-day job of recovery from drugs and alcohol or abuse if they can have simple things like a blanket."
Gonzalez said guests at the shelter are most in need of items such as socks, shampoo and clothing for children.
Micah Melia, executive director of CCO, said the drive began when the organization applied through the Today Show Charitable Foundation for products to distribute in the Lawrence community. She said the program started by receiving a small number
of donations from the foundation to give out, but has greatly expanded since.
Melia said generally 3,000 to 4,000 volunteers will come out and help with the drive. She said the CCO's goals for this school year includes increased awareness of the programs they provide and additional
"It's definitely grown and it's been very cool for us to have another way to maintain contact with local agencies — even if we're not necessarily providing regular volunteering through one of our programs," Melia said. "I think it's really another way to make an impact we don't generally have the capacity to do ourselves but can through the program."
Super Service Saturday is the CCO's kickoff event, intended to give KU students the opportunity to get involved with the Lawrence Community through volunteer work. Into the Streets Week is an annual weeklong event which highlights volunteer opportunities across the Lawrence community. Lifeline seeks to assist students in the community with their educational needs through one-on-one interactions like mentoring, tutoring and other activities.
During the drive, members of the CCO executive staff coordinate the delivery of donations received with over 30 area agencies.

Being an ITSW program coordinator was so meaningful because I was able to do the things I love to make students on campus aware of different ways to be involved in the community."

Watkins renovations focus on fixing lobby area
HALLIE WILSON
@halliew20
The recent renovations to Watkins Memorial Health Center, designed to create a more welcoming environment for students, have almost reached completion.
The main floor renovation, which began early last winter, is virtually completed. The redesign is the first of its kind since the mid-1990s.
"The renovations make the lobby look clean and polished," sophomore Caroline Goble said. "I noticed that it was brighter and more inviting, and I think it's going to make a great first impression on new students."
The redesign began when Watkins Associate Director Diane Malott sought out a KU design student to work on the project. Watkins then created a plan for the space and worked with a design firm to make it come to life.
"We really began the project with the goal of making it more customer friendly and up-to-date," Malott said.
To complete the project, Malott worked with the photography department to select some of the art for the space. Photography students submitted their own work and Malott helped to select the ones that best fit the space.
"All of the photographs, which are in color and black and white, are of KU landmarks," Malott said. "One of our murals is going to be this beautiful photo of the Campanile at sunset."
The project was funded out of the Watkins building account, which is part of what students pay as a health fee each semester. Malott said.
"Watkins is all about the students, so I love this project
because students got behind the design and behind the funding," Malott said. "It really is the students' place."
Watkins offers more than just a comfortable and updated facility. The student health center boasts a staff that includes board-certified physicians and nurses, as well as lab facilities and a pharmacy with a full pharmaceutical staff.
"Watkins offers convenient, affordable student health care for basically all services outside of emergency care," Malott said.
Some of these services include vaccinations, x-rays, doctor visits and prescription drug pickup. For more information on specific services at Watkins, visit studenthealth.ku.edu.

MENTAL HEALTH
Services offered to combat back-to-school stress
PAIGE STINGLEY
@paigestinglev
Stress is a perfectly normal thing, especially in college. However, it stops being normal when it starts to affect your mental health.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, more than 40 percent of college students have felt an above average amount of stress within the past year. but a majority of students did not seek help or request accommodations from their school.
"It is very common for students to feel overwhelmed when transitioning to college." Christian Vargas, licensed
psychologist and outreach coordinator at the University, said in an email. "It's important for students to focus on having a routine that includes self-care and time to do things that they love."
It is not uncommon for freshmen to feel more overwhelmed at the start of school because on top of their studies, they are having to learn to live on their own, do their own laundry and make their own schedules, among other things. They are given so much new information that it often feels like it is too much to handle.
"There are so many things happening during the first weeks, between Greek life and
Most universities have several health and psychological services to offer. According to NAMI, concern of the stigma associated with seeking mental help is the leading reason students do not use those services.

University School of Medicine around 27 percent of college students experience some time of mental health problem.
The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
The Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) offered at the University provide students with individual and group counseling, along with psychiatric services for students who need support to achieve their goals.
"Students should focus on building their own care plan to prevent vulnerability to mental health issues such as eating a healthy diet, caring for physical ailments, exercising, having good sleep habits and avoiding drugs and alcohol," Vargas said.
The staff at CAPS can provide full assessments and make treatment recommendations. If the student needs additional help outside of the CAPS services, CAPS will find them help within the community.
Students are encouraged to seek help when they first feel like they may have a problem because waiting could potentially make it worse.
"The stress and the anxiety become a problem when you begin to feel like you can't handle it on your own, and when your grades and health are slipping." Martino said. "When it begins to hurt your success, you have a problem."

and specifically on top of that now the content they are also learning." Rossomondo said.
Beginning in the fall semester, Spanish classes using Acceso will shift from a more traditional classroom to a computer lab in Wescoe Hall redesigned to more easily
She said the normal price of a textbook package for two semesters can cost $300 more than many students would want to pay. Using Accesso, students are only required to spend $40 per semester for an online grammar workbook.

accommodate the program.
Rossomondo said instructors made the decision to shift Accesso into a computer lab setting after a long period of assessing how the material could be better adapted to student's needs. She said after
The new classroom is comprised of six workstations, each equipped with a large, flat screen monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse. Instructors will be able to project student work from any station onto all other monitors, including large screens at opposing ends of the room. Students can also hook up their laptops to the stations and display their work at either large screen.
asking students what they thought about the program, it became apparent the traditional classroom wasn't working as well as it could to facilitate the type of learning instructors wanted to do. In addition, Rossomondo said transferring student's in-class content from their laptops to flash drives was showing to be logistically difficult.
"We were ending up losing 10 or 15 minutes of class time, in a 50-minute class period, with all of this switching — and that's just not a good use of time." Rossomondo said.
"This coming semester with Acceso, it's just the MySpanishLab. There's no textbook to check out, so I think it depends on how well it's going to be taught in the classroom," Paccapaniccia said.
— Edited by Sarah Kramer
Accesso material includes news articles, which discuss social issues in Spanish speaking countries, clips of native speakers from different geographical locations, almanacs for exploring significant cultural issues to the region and videos mixing Spanish narration with text.
Marcus Paccapaniccia, a junior from Shawnee enrolled in a Spanish class for the fall semester, said that he believed students learning with Acceso would benefit from moving from a more traditional classroom setting to a computer lab. He said he thought there would probably be more homework involved with the change, but students would get more practice out of it.

A structure burns along Highway 41 in Oakhurst, Calif., on Monday, Aug. 18. One of several wildfires burning across California prompted the evacuation of hundreds of people in a central California foothill community near Yosemite National Park, authorities said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKHURST, Calif. — Firefighters gained ground Tuesday on a blaze in the foothills near Yosemite National Park, allowing some of the 1,000 people who fled the flames to return to their homes.
Nearly 1 square mile in Madera County had been scorched, revising earlier estimates that it had spanned about twice as much ground, state fire officials said.
Flames erupted Monday near Oakhurst, a community of several thousand about 16 miles from a Yosemite entrance, forcing more than 1,000 people to evacuate and thousands more to prepare to leave their
homes. Some residents were allowed to go home, but sheriff's spokeswoman Erica Stuart could not provide an estimate of how many.
Crews contained 30 percent of the fire, aided by humidity and calmer winds. Additional firefighters had been brought in to attack the blaze fueled a day earlier by gusty winds and dry brush.
"We're not seeing the fire expand like we thought," Madera County Sheriff John Anderson said Tuesday.
The blaze that destroyed eight structures did not affect Yosemite National Park, and the road leading visitors to the park reopened Tuesday. It once threatened about 500 homes, but the risk has been minimized, officials say.
The fire comes amid California's third straight year of drought, creating tinder-dry conditions that have significantly increased
the fire danger around the state and sent firefighters scrambling seemingly nonstop from blaze to blaze. Evacuated residents in Oakhurst said they had braced for the worst.
"There is nothing you can do when a fire is raging," said Clement Williams, 67. "You just have to flee. It's a real sinking feeling."
Williams and his wife, Gretchen Williams, 63, were trying to get information about the fire and their home from officials. They spent the night at a nearby hotel.
Oakhurst was smoky, and businesses downtown were closed as the fire burned about a mile away. Flames were not visible from the downtown area as they moved away from town toward a nearby reservoir and resort community, state fire spokesman Chris Christopherson said.

Police attempt to curb unrest
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The police killings of two unarmed black men came barely three weeks apart, generating immediate and potentially volatile outrage.
but compared with the violent aftermath of Michael Brown's shooting in Ferguson, Mo., the fallout from the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York now seems notable for what's been absent: no guns pointed at raging protesters, no billowing tear gas, no lengthy delay in revealing an officer's name, no National Guard troops.
The relative calm in New York followed a carefully calibrated response by city and police officials intended to neutralize possible unrest. The response drew
"What you
you
on the lessons from other high-profile use-of-force cases involving black victims that roiled the city in the late 1990s.
Activist Joo-Hyun Kang, of Communities United for Police Reform, said the department's record on dealing with outrage over possible brutality is checked at best, pointing to an ugly clash last year between police in riot gear and a bottle-throwing crowd after the police slaying of a teenager in Brooklyn. The
what you want in a democracy is the ability to express your concerns, but you don't want it to spill over into disorder."
Initial outrage over Garner's July 17 death was fueled by an amateur video showing an arresting officer appearing to put him in a chokehold, banned under police policy, and Garner gasping "I can't breathe" before falling unconscious. The next day Mayor Bill de Blasio postponed a family vacation, spoke with black community leaders and called a news conference with Bratton.
"What you want in a democracy is the ability to express your concerns, but you don't want it to spill over into disorder," Police Commissioner William Bratton said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. "I think we've had a very informed and reasonable response to the issues raised by everybody. There's been no violence."
clashes. NYPD officials said Tuesday they're in contact with organizers of a Sharpton-led march planned for Saturday, an effort to preserve calm headed by a Community Affairs Division staffed with hundreds of officers citywide.
Officials say police commanders reached out to community activists and offered condolences to Garner's family. On July 19, two days after the death, the New York Police Department released the name of the officer and announced he had been placed on desk duty while a prosecutor determines whether to bring criminal charges. On July 31, de Blasio and Bratton sat next to the Rev. Al Sharpton at a City Hall roundtable about community concerns.
De Blasio, a Democrat, called the death a "terrible tragedy" and the video "very troubling." Bratton conceded "this would appear to have been a chokehold." Both promised a thorough investigation.
WILLIAM BRATTON Police Commissioner
Demonstrations after Garner's death have been peaceful, even after the medical examiner ruled it a homicide. A rally in Times Square last week protesting the deaths of Brown and Garner resulted in only five arrests for minor offenses and no serious
emphasis on keeping order after Garner's death "fails to address the racial profiling that caused it in the first place or how these cases send the message
that police officers are above the law" she said.
The challenges harken back to the torture of Abner Louiama with a broken broomstick by an officer in a police station bathroom in 1997 and the death of Amadou Diallo in a hail of 41 bullets fired by four white officers searching for an armed rapist in 1999. Both cases sparked demonstrations resulting in hundreds of arrests and frayed then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's already tense relationship with the black community.
But Howard Safir, police commissioner under the Republican Giuliani amid both crises, says conditions could have been worse if city and police officials hadn't taken swift steps to keep the peace. During a closed-door meeting after the Louima assault, it was decided he and the mayor should visit Louima in the hospital and meet with community leaders in Brooklyn, Safir recalled on Tuesday.
Similarly, the pair decided to attend Diallo's funeral after the administration concluded, "This one has legs and we have to get on top of it real quick," he said.
The department then, as now, also benefited from racial diversity in its ranks, experience with crowd control at large events including the New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square and a robust community affairs operation geared toward developing relationships in communities before tragedy strikes, Safir said.
One measure used to quell unrest was to negotiate with Diallo demonstrators and persuade them to use designated protest areas policed by officers in what are called soft uniforms, windbreakers and baseball caps.
"In the final analysis, police officers are human beings who make mistakes," he said. "You have to be prepared to deal with it."

Upward mobility!
In a rare move for him, the president took a break in the middle of his Martha's Vineyard vacation to return to Washington just after midnight Monday for meetings with Vice President Joe Biden and other advisers on the U.S. military campaign in Iraq and tensions between police and protesters in Ferguson, Mo.

The White House has been cagey about why the president needs to be back in Washington for those discussions. He's received multiple briefings on both issues while on vacation. The White House had also already announced Obama's plans to return to Washington before the U.S. airstrikes in Iraq
"I think it's fair to say there are, of course, ongoing complicated situations in the world, and that's why you've seen the president stay engaged," White House

spokesman Eric Schultz said.
Obama is scheduled to return to Martha's Vineyard on Tuesday and stay through next weekend.
Even though work has occupied much of Obama's first week on vacation, he still found plenty of time to golf, go to the beach with his family and go out to dinner on the island.
That get-together between the former rivals-turned-partners added another complicated dynamic to Obama's vacation. Just as Obama was arriving on Martha's Vineyard, an interview with the former secretary of state was published in which she levied some of her sharpest criticism of Obama's foreign policy.
He hit the golf course one more time Sunday ahead of his departure, joining two aides and former NBA player Alonzo Mourning for an afternoon round. He then joined wife Michelle for an evening jazz performance featuring singer Rachelle Ferrell. They left for Washington late Sunday night.
Obama's vacation has also been infused with a dose of politics. He headlined a fundraiser on the island for Democratic Senate candidates
Clinton later promised she and Obama would "hug it out" when they saw each other at Jordan's party. No reporters were allowed in, so it's not clear whether there was any hugging, but the White House said the president danced to nearly every song.

Garden City beef plant reopening after 2012 'pink slime' dispute
A shuttered Kansas processing plant that produced a treated ground beef product critics dubbed "pink slime" plans to reopen next week with limited operations amid rebounding sales, the company said Tuesday.
Beef Products Inc. said it planned to start collecting fresh beef trimmings at its Garden City facility beginning Monday to support its current Dakota City, Nebraska production operations. The Kansas plant is the first to reopen since the company closed three

this growth will continue," Craig Letch, BPI's director of food quality and safety, said in a news release. "Although business conditions are not yet to the point where we can resume lean beef production operations in Garden City, this is certainly a step in the right direction."
The uproar prompted Beef Products to suspend operations at plants in Amarillo, Texas; Waterloo, Iowa; and Kansas that cost nearly 700 jobs.
"It is good news for that community," said Jeremy Jacobsen, a spokesman for the Dakota Dunes, South Dakotabased BPI, said Tuesday.
Loss of revenue over the controversy was a contributing factor in Cargill's shutdown of its plant in Plainview, Texas.
that employed more than 2,000 people, although the tight cattle supply played a larger role in that decision, Cargill spokesman Mike Martin said Tuesday. Cargill also shut down a facility in Vernon, California, outside of Los Angeles that further processed the meat product.
BPI filed a lawsuit in 2012 against ABC News and others, saying that the network's coverage prompted consumer to shun the product and led to the plant closures and layoffs. BPI said it lost 80 percent of its business in 28 days.
BPI hasn't said exactly how much sales have rebounded.

Three journalists among latest arrested in Ferguson
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A photographer for the Getty agency and two German reporters were among the latest journalists arrested while covering protests in Ferguson, Missouri, over the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown.
At least 10 journalists have been arrested or detained since Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, was killed Aug. 9 by officer Darren Wilson. Reporters for CNN, Al Jazeera America and other outlets say they have been harassed or physically threatened. Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol, in charge of security in Ferguson, said Tuesday that members of the media have had to be asked repeatedly to return to the sidewalks, because of safety concerns. In some cases, he said, it was not immediately clear who was a reporter, but once that was established, police acted properly.
"In the midst of chaos, when officers are running around, we're not sure who's a journalist and who's not," Johnson said at a news conference. "And yes, if I see somebody with a $50,000 camera on their shoulder, I'm pretty sure. But some journalists are walking around, and all you have is a cellphone because you're from a small media outlet. Some of you may just have a camera around your neck."
The arrests and detainments, which have ranged from several minutes to several hours, have been widely
criticized: President Obama said last week that police "should not be bullying or arresting" reporters for merely doing their jobs. Last Friday, 48 American media organizations, including The Associated Press, sent a letter to law enforcement officials in Ferguson, criticizing the treatment of reporters.
"In the midst of chaos, when officers are running around, we're not sure who's a journalist and who's not."
RON JOHNSON
Missouri Highway Patrol
Captain
"Officers on the ground must understand that gathering news and recording police activities are not crimes," the letter read. "The actions in Ferguson demonstrate a lack of training among local law enforcement in the protections required by the First Amendment, as well as the absence of respect for the role of newsgatherers. We implore police leadership to rectify this failing to ensure that these incidents do not occur again."
Overall, at least two people were shot and at least 57 arrested during protests overnight Monday, authorities said.
On Tuesday, Ryan Devereaux of The Intercept, an online investigative publication, tweeted that he was arrested
and jailed, then released several hours later. Getty photographer Scott Olson said Monday that he was arrested "for just doing my job" and eventually released. As with previous arrests of journalists, no charges were filed against Olson, who by Monday night was back shooting photos.
On Sunday night, Sports Illustrated reporter Robert Klemko tweeted that he was tear-gassed, handcuffed and then released a few minutes later. The Telegraph's Rob Crilly and the Financial Times' Neil Munshi also reported that they were briefly detained Sunday.
Two German reporters were arrested and detained for three hours Monday. Conservative German daily Die Welt said correspondent Ansgar Graw and reporter Frank Herrmann, who writes for German regional papers, were arrested after allegedly failing to follow police instructions to vacate an empty street. They said they followed police orders.
Last week, Wesley Lowery of The Washington Post and Ryan Reilly of The Huffington Post said they were hand-cuffed and put into a police van after officers came into a McDonald's where they were doing some work. The Washington Post reported that Lowery said he was slammed against a soda machine. Reilly told MSNBC that an officer slammed his head against the glass "purposefully" on the way out of the restaurant.

phone. Training takes place Sunday afternoons from noon to 3:30 p.m. The informational meeting for the fall program is at 6:30 p.m. on Aug.27 and Sept.3 in the conference room at the counseling center.
GaDuGi SafeCenter Inc.'s mission is to work together with the community to provide service and strength to cultivate well-being for all people affected by sexual violence. It was established as a Rape Victim Support Service in fall 1972. It has a 24-hour, seven days a week call center with volunteers who have been trained to take calls from sexual violence victims and is located at 2518 Ridge Ct # 202.
If interested in volunteering at Headquarters, contact Broomburg at rachel@HeadquartersCounselingCenter.org.
CADUGI SAFECENTER INC.
Rachel Gadd-Nelson, director of community outreach, says when looking for volunteers, they look for people who want to support survivors of sexual violence, among other things.
"We look for folks who are really passionate about helping folks who have been affected by sexual violence," Gadd-Nelson said. "We aren't looking for any particular background or work experience because we provide all of that."
Volunteers can work as advocates or on the Community Action Team. Advocates are trained to work at crisis services, and the Community Action Team participates in education and awareness around the city.
Advocates are required to do 40 hours of training. For more information about volunteering, contact Gadd-Nelson at 785-843-8985 or email her at rachel@gadugisafecenter.org.
Habitat for Humanity helps families whose incomes are usually 30 to 60 percent below the median income level for Lawrence. Contrary to belief, Habitat does not give away houses for free; homeowners must pay for the mortgage on the work and countless hours to help build their own homes. Habitat is located at 720 Connecticut St.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Maddie Hinds, Community Outreach Organizer, says this organization is a good way for students to be outside and do physical labor, and this is one of the few places that require teamwork to help get things done.
The mission of Habitat for Humanity, as stated on the volunteer fair website, is to "provide simple, decent and affordable housing for low to moderate income families in Douglas and Jefferson counties. We believe in a homeownership process that empowers families to promote ongoing change in their lives. We offer a hand-up, not a hand-out."
Volunteers don't need any prior knowledge of building houses; qualified workers are present at the job sites to assist volunteers. Typical volunteer shifts last from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Volunteers can sign up online at lawrencehabitat.org/get-involved.

Students participate in Mayo research program
REID EGGLESTON
@ReidEggleston
Sifting through the countless test tubes and petri dishes that define a typical summer research experience did not sit well with two budding undergraduate research students. Instead, Kelly McGurren and Jordan Hildenbrand ventured beyond traditional lab expectations this summer as part of the Mayo Clinic's 10-week medical research program.
Originally, neither McGurren, a junior from Leawood, nor Hildenbrand, a junior from Blue Springs, Mo., had any idea of what specifically they would be studying and what passion those studies would cultivate. In fact, Hildenbrand approached the summer with a unique mindset altogether.
"I was actually expecting the summer program to turn me off of research and narrow my future plans." Hildenbrand
said. "But now I'm thinking seriously about pursuing a dual M.D./Ph.D."
McGurren cultivated a fondness for stem cells and the power of regenerative medicine in the unlikely field of porcine biology, using pig models to determine the effect diet had on kidney stem cells
McGurren was aware from the start of the moral implications involved in her research having studied stem cells in both a scientific and religious context, but she quickly debunked some of the myths that stood as barriers to her summertime pursuits.
"People assume stem cells are always embryonic," McGurren said, referring to the cells that many claim still hold the potential for creating life. "But it's important to understand there are other forms, and they still have reparative properties."
One of the other forms of cells that McGurren worked closely with was mesenchymal
stem cells, which behave similarly as embryonic cells but are less shrouded in controversy.
"Why would we not want to utilize something that could help us so much?" she said.
"Research is viewed as a solitary thing, but research done well is really about others."
JORDAN HILDENBRAND Junior from Blue Springs
"Most people don't understand how important research is," McGurren said.
McGurren also gained a galvanized appreciation for funding of the sciences at academic institutions. She recalls many of her experiments were reliant on access to MRI and CT technology in order to record data and support discoveries.
"Often there are more failures than successes, but everything leads to something more, something greater, down the line."
Aside from the well-funded research background McGurren came from at the University, she also feels that the academic preparation she received for this program was tantamount to her success.
Particularly of use to her was her experience in the University Honors program.
"I hadn't taken anatomy, but even with basic biology and basic chemistry, I was well prepared," she said. "There was still a lot I didn't know, but labs are specific, and there are things no class itself could teach you."
"My honors courses were extremely helpful in showing me how to approach problems in a different way," McGurren said. "KU has pretty high standards, and these expectations paid off for me." As a chemical engineering
As a chemical engineering
major, Hildenbrand brought a different set of skills to her bioengineering lab, but was equally satisfied with the academic background previous classes provided.
"One thing about research: no one really knows what they're doing when they first walk in," Hildenbrand said. "But KU prepared me to think critically with the basic science knowledge that I had."
Hildenbrand dedicated her time to studying diseases ranging from glaucoma to metabolic acidosis, a kidney disorder that causes the blood to become too acidic.
Ten weeks later, her outlook would be broader than she had imagined. She attributes this change of heart to the students and principal investigator she was able to work with and to the unique research relationship at Mayo that the University lacks.
"The Mayo Hospital and graduate school are right next to each other,
and that allows for a lot of collaboration between the two." Hildenbrand said. "To me, it seems like this puts more emphasis on patient-centered research."
Both students return to the University with a reinvigorated urge to contribute to its research community.
"Research is viewed as a solitary thing, but research done well is really about others." Hildenbrand said.
McGurren's message for those looking to get involved with research over the school year is one of perseverance, a quality she knows she developed after her experience at the Mayo Clinic.
"You could try 100 times, and it could not work, but after critical reevaluation, the 101st time could be the success you're looking for," McGurren said.

Arizona governor: Floods in Phoenix 'devastating'
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Workers at a farm saw hundreds of cactuses sweep away in a flood. Drivers on Arizona's main north-south freeway watched in shock as muddy waters submerged the road. Rescuers across the state rushed to save people trapped in cars and homes.
The Phoenix area was battered by torrential rain storms Tuesday that caused severe flooding across the desert region. The National Weather Service said some areas received more rain Tuesday than they had all last summer.
"It looked absolutely devastating," said Gov. Jan Brewer, who was glued to the TV all day watching the rescues. "For the last 10, 15 years, we've never seen anything the likes of this."
A helicopter crew rescued two women and three dogs from a home surrounded by swift-moving waters in a town about 30 miles north of Phoenix, while elsewhere a small trailer park was evacuated, a school was flooded and first-responders pulled motorists from partially submerged vehicles.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for much of the metro area and north of the city, where up to 8 inches of rain fell by midday in some of the mountainous regions along Interstate 17, the main north-south freeway in Arizona.
A river of muddy water rushed down 1-17 about 25 miles north of Phoenix as motorists changed lanes to avoid the deluge. A stretch of freeway was shut down and reopened later in the day.
In another dramatic rescue, authorities pulled an elderly woman from a van stuck in rushing floodwaters, scenes repeated across the region throughout the day as motorists became trapped.

Officials said nearly 5 inches of rain fell around the town
of New River, where a helicopter dropped two rescuers onto the roof of a home after one had been waving a white piece of fabric from a window to draw attention. The rescuers later walked the women and dogs to safety as the water receded.
"It looks like the heavy rain is pulling out to the east and northeast out of that area," Woodall said Tuesday afternoon. "But with all the rain that fell this morning, we're going to see continued flooding, continued runoff probably into the early evening." Kathy Mascaro said her typical 15-minute commute from home to work in the Phoenix area more than doubled because of the traffic nightmares caused by the

flooding.
The Cox Cactus Farm in Phoenix was inundated by a nearby creek as rushing waters sent workers scrambling to save their more than 600 varieties of plants, shrubs and cactuses.
“It's crazy. You'd think, how could the desert flood, but it really does.” Mascaro said. “I've never seen it this bad. I've been here over 20 years and it has never flooded this bad."
The desert around Phoenix sees very little rain most of the year, so when storms roll through with such intensity as they did Tuesday, the water has nowhere to go.
"Everything just washed away," employee Mitch Bell said. "There's nothing we can do."
"With so much rain falling so quickly, the water doesn't have a chance to soak into the hard-packed rocky soil,"
Arizona's monsoon season runs roughly from June to September, when powerful storms form with heavy rain and whipping winds. It's a phenomenon that occurs each summer when the winds shift, bringing moisture north from the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico to produce radical and unpredictable changes in the weather.
meteorologist Gary Woodall of the National Weather Service said.
Sporadic storms were expected to continue across the Phoenix area for the next few days, according to the weather service.
On Tuesday morning, rocks washed down a hillside onto I-17 about 60 miles north of Phoenix, causing several vehicle collisions, but no deaths or major injuries have been reported, said Bart Graves, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Meanwhile, residents of a small trailer park in Black Canyon City along a river about 40 miles north of Phoenix were evacuated late Tuesday morning, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.
There was minimal flooding damage to the park, but authorities wanted to get residents to a safe location because water had damaged roads in the vicinity, sheriff's spokesman Dwight D'Evelyn said.
Firefighters from Phoenix and the Daisy Mountain Fire District on Phoenix's northern outskirts rescued at least six motorists in separate incidents, Phoenix Fire Capt. Benjamin Santillan said.
Flights from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport were delayed up to two hours while some inbound planes were diverted to other airports until the storms passed.
"We've got units jumping from one car to the next to the next," Santillan said, adding that there were no reports of injuries.

Construction continues for new student housing
While the quad is going up, McCollum is coming down. Although the dorm has been functioning for about 50 years, housing staff decided that it is time for something new.
The changes on Daisy Hill are designed to create more green space on campus. Daisy Hill is being renovated so that Engel Road curves around all the dorms, creating a quad-like space between them, complete with a commons area.
ALICIA GARZA
@AliciaoftheUDK
Over the next year, housing at the University will continue to change in a big way. The changes will not only affect how students live in the years to come, but are currently affecting students today.
"McCollum was at a point where it needed major renovations or needed to be
"The renovations [on Daisy Hill] are going very well. The weather has been cooperating, and we have managed to get a lot done," said Diana Robertson, the director of student housing.
The new common building on the quad between the new dorms will serve all dorms on Daisy Hill, providing a more close-knit campus environment between the students. Downstairs, the common building will have a living room, kitchen and common area, and upstairs, an academic service area will provide services for students seeking help with their academic work.
With the new renovations on Daisy Hill, many people will be affected by the new changes.
replaced — it's been operating for 50 years," Robertson said. "Working with smaller buildings is preferable in creating a closer environment [among students on the hill]. It was also less expensive to build new dorms than to try renovating the old one."
"As an RA, I am really excited about the new opportunities that will come with the two new residence halls on Daisy Hill," said Isaac Bahney, a junior from Terre Haute, Ind. "I've spent time in McCollum and while the hall has a lot
of character,it's very old and needs to be replaced."
Like Bahney, Quentin Aker,a sophomore from Wichita. Kan., is also excited for the new buildings.
Bahney also agrees with Robertson that the quad layout will bring all the halls closer together.
"Future KU students will really enjoy living in the new halls and I can't wait to see the finished products — the plans look exquisite," Aker said.
The new student housing is expected to be functioning by the beginning of the next school year.
Across campus, the Fieldhouse Apartments more commonly known as the basketball housing are also in production. However these apartments will not only provide housing for the basketball team, but also more housing for students returning to the University. The apartments will provide a new and improved alternative to the jayhawk Towers.

Russian tourists stranded abroad during crisis
Last week, tens of thousands of Russians sunning themselves on Italian beaches and Turkish resorts received an unpleasant surprise: their tour companies had gone bust, stranding them and forcing them to pay double for a ticket to get home.
The bankruptcy is the fifth among major Russian tour companies in less than two months — a sign that cracks are appearing in Russia's economy after a months-long conflict in eastern Ukraine and an escalating stand-off with the West.
It's not just sanctioned Russian billionaires who are feeling the pinch now uncertainty over the future has caused the currency to drop, hurting the average Russian's ability to travel abroad and buy imported goods. And as new sanctions by the U.S. and the European Union start to bite, companies worry about a looming recession and a future without access to the West's massive financial markets.
"The more tense the geopolitical situation, the more expensive (foreign) currency will be," said Konstantin Sonin,
an economist at Moscow's Higher School of Economics. "And with sanctions, it becomes harder for financial institutions to give credit, and there will be fewer business projects and fewer goods being produced. Income and salaries drop and consumption doesn't increase."
The U.S. and the EU have accused Russia, which annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in March, of fomenting tensions in eastern Ukraine by supplying arms and expertise to a pro-Moscow insurgency, and have imposed asset freezes and loan bans on a score of individuals and companies.
Tour operators, some of whom are among the nation's oldest, say they have experienced an unprecedented slump in demand, which they blame on the bad political climate and the depreciation of the ruble, which has lost up to 10 percent against the dollar since January. The closure of one tour operator alone, Labirint, has left more than 20,000 people abroad without a return ticket and affected another 40,000 who had already bought travel packages, tourism officials
said.
The low-cost airline Dobrolyot, which was sanctioned by the EU because it services the Black Sea region of Crimea annexed by Russia, has temporarily cancelled all flights.
"The more tense the geopolitical situation, the more expensive (foreign) currency will be."
KONSTANTIN SONIN Economist
Companies also blamed the collapse in tourism on Moscow's request that members of the security service, interior ministry, and military report where they travel to. The move, which authorities justified as an attempt to keep government employees out of any country that has an extradition agreement with the U.S., has discouraged trips abroad among the several million people who work in those sectors.
Until the recent troubles
in Russia's budget tourism industry, the direct casualties of Western sanctions had been few and far between — and rich. Gennady Timchenko, an oligarch with an estimated fortune of $14.2 billion who as a longtime friend of President Vladimir Putin was hit with U.S. sanctions, said Sunday he could no longer fly his private jet because it was serviced by American company Gulfstream. Though other companies could in theory service the plane, he told Russian news agency ITAR TASS they would not have the right replacement parts for maintenance.
The collapse of major tourism companies could be the first sign that Russia, which is reeling from months of market volatility an estimated withdrawal by investors of $75 billion in funds, could be at the start of a lengthy recession. In July, the International Monetary Fund slashed its forecast for 2014 from 1.3 percent to 0.2 percent.
Any attempt by Moscow to fighting back against the sanctions is also likely to come at a high cost to Russian consumers and investors. Russia has banned a range of
fruit and vegetable imports from Poland, in what Polish government officials said was retaliation for its support of the latest round of EU sanctions.
Shares in Russia's state airliner, Aeroflot, were trading down almost 6 percent Tuesday after leading business daily Vedomosti cited anonymous government officials as saying they were considering closing the airspace over Siberia to European flights heading to Asia. The move, allegedly in retaliation for the EU sanctions on Dobrolyot, would deprive Aeroflot of payments it receives from European airlines for the right to use Russian airspace.
The government had no comment on the report, but Putin said Tuesday he had ordered officials to develop measures in response to Western sanctions. He did not elaborate.
Though the Russian government is in relatively good shape financially, with little public debt, its budget will be strained this year as revenue drops from state-owned companies and new burdens of infrastructure and pensions come to bear in Crimea. On
Tuesday, the government said it would likely use money in contributions to employees' privately-controlled pension funds to smooth over holes in the budget for the second year running. A report in Vedomosti estimated that amount at 300 billion rubles ($8.3 billion).
While Western officials say the main purpose of sanctions is to target the country's elite, so far businessmen close to Putin have shown little public intention of backing down and have only ramped up hawkish, anti-Western rhetoric in response to the measures. During his interview with ITAR TASS, Timchenko, who is on the US sanctions list but has a Finnish passport and therefore is not on the equivalent EU list, bragged that he was ready to spend more time in his homeland and expand his growing Russian and Soviet art collection.
"In any situation, Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin) is guided by the interests of Russia," Timchenko said. "There can be no compromise here, and it doesn't even come into our heads to argue on the subject."
KDHE announces state's first report of West Nile
State health officials say a man from Republic County has the first reported case of West Nile virus in Kansas this year.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment did not release any more information about the man in a news release Tuesday.
West Nile virus can be spread to people by infected mosquitoes
but not from person to person.
Symptoms range from a slight headache and low-grade fever to swelling of the brain and in rare cases, death.
The state had 92 reported cases of West Nile last year. The health department says it is not found a positive mosquito sample in Kansas so far this year.
2 dead in 3-vehicle Kansas accident
Authorities say two people have died in a three-vehicle accident in northeast Kansas.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says the wreck occurred Monday evening in rural Leavenworth County when a westbound driver sidewiped a trailer being hauled by an eastbound pickup before veering into oncoming
traffic. His vehicle hit another car head-on, killing both drivers.
This vehicle hit another carhead-on, killing both drivers. The patrol identified the driver of the westbound car as 46-year-old Bart H. Kissinger of Oskaloosa. The second driver was 39-year-old Brandon L. McKinsey of Tonganoxie. No one else was in either vehicle.
Two people the truck with the trailer were not injured.

The Center of Everything Laura Moriarty
The Center of Everything Laura Moriarty
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
"The Center of Everything" by Laura Moriarty is the 2014 KU Common Book. Each year, hundreds of submissions for the Common Book are sent in and judged until only one winner remains.
2014 KU Common Book chosen
LAUREN METZLER news@kansan.com
Hundreds of submissions were sent in, judged, and narrowed down until only one remained. It wasn't a sweepstakes competition but rather, the process for selecting the KU Common Book this year: "The Center of Everything" by Laura Moriarty.
As the third Common Book at the University, this is the first one to be authored by a University English professor.
"You can't get much more relevant than something that's set at KU," said Deborah Smith, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and a member of the Common Book steering and selection committees.
In addition to uniting traditional students, the book will take on a whole new role in a new course at the University called the KU Academic Acceleration Program (AAP). This
the form of a specialized course this fall. Robert Hagen, an environmental studies lecturer, will teach the class which will be exclusively for foreign students to help them acclimate to the cultural landscape of Kansas.
"The difficulties any freshman has coping with a big school, away from home for the first time, then adding language challenges, cultural challenges, being thousands of miles away from anything familiar and it's really tough." Hagen said. "The notion of this AAP program is to accelerate their integration."
Another new aspect of the Common Book is the KU Common Book hashtag, which is an attempt to bring the book to the students via social media.
"We'll take participation however we can get it," Smith said. "Even casual participation is worth it because part of it is tied in with freshmen retention."
The Common Book, like many other programs for freshmen, is all about making new students feel like they belong at the University, Smith said.
"You can't get much more relevant than something that's set at KU."
Assigned or not, it is no secret that summer reading does not always get completed. This is something that Sarah Emery, a freshman from Fort Collins, Colo., discovered when she saw students requesting a summary of the book on the Class of 2018 Facebook page.
"It's pretty disappointing that people are using social media already to get answers on things that they didn't do,"
Emerv said.
Although relatable to Emery at this stage in her life, she had concerns about the book being accessible for the male population due to the fact that the two main characters are women. Despite concerns, Emery is an advocate for completing the assignment.
Going beyond simply reading the book, Emery was able to apply some of the book's themes to her upcoming experience at KU.
"I would tell somebody who didn't read it that they are really missing out," Emery said. "It truly is the first assignment that we get from KU and people are just being lazy by not reading it."
"One of the biggest lessons that I took away from the book was that [...] I won't have my parents around to push me to do certain things or remind me to get my paper written. It's all up to me."

Imported pups must be at least 6 months old
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Foreign dog breeders have gone unregulated for years, shipping puppies so young and so sick that one in four died before reaching a U.S. airport, animal welfare workers say.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture approved a regulation Friday that, starting in 90 days, will require all puppies imported to the United States to be at least 6 months old, healthy, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
Census Bureau data show about 8,400 puppies a year were imported between 2009 and 2013. Because there were no regulations, however, the Humane Society of the United States believes the numbers were much higher, said Melanie Kahn, the society's director of puppy mill campaigns.
Many of the puppies came from mills in China and Eastern Europe, said Deborah Press, of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
This is the second major USDA effort regarding puppy mills in the last 12 months. In September, the agency enacted what is called the "retail rule": Breeders having four or more female breeding dogs have to be licensed if they are selling to consumers sight unseen on websites, in flea markets or in classifieds.
Both the Humane Society
and ASPCA said they routinely get calls from people who unwittingly bought a puppy mill dog from a foreign or U.S. breeder, only to have it die because its illnesses was too severe to overcome.
It has been hard to track the number of puppies that are imported, Kahn said, but, she said, "We have seen an increase just in the past few months based on calls from consumers who bought teacup puppies from Korea."
Importers have been sending puppies that are less than 8 weeks old to the U.S. in airliners' cargo holds, Kahn said.
"I imagine a 6-week-old puppy from Asia to the United States. We are talking about baby animals," she said. "They are delicate as it is. They could be shipping 100 dogs in the cargo hold. You only need one dog to have an illness and all of them could have it by the time the plane lands."
Under the new regulation, published in the Federal Register on Friday, violators can be fined up to $10,000.
The ban eliminates the easy access to market that foreign breeders have had for years, said Cori Menkin, senior director of the ASPCA puppy mills campaign.
But the fight isn't over, Kahn said: "We are not planning to fight any less than we already do. This means we are taking steps in the right direction."

Lawrence's largest gathering of street performers is back for its seventh year for three days of extreme talent and family fun. From Aug. 22 to Aug. 24, a variety of mesmerizing artists and musicians occupy the streets around Lawrence to entertain all ages with favorite acts. From juggling, fire spitting and sword swallowing, to illusionists, escape artists and magicians, the Busker Festival will impress Lawrence once again with its variety of exciting acts.
Performers have come together from all around the world to show
To kick off this wonderful weekend of crazy and exciting talent, the Granada will be holding the Busker Ball as a way of easing into the festival's chaotic weekend. On Aug. 21, the Granada will present an exclusive stage show, followed by a meet and greet set up to meet all performers from around the world. Some of the biggest and best acts will perform on stage, an opportunity you will not want to miss.
Jessie Pomper, a sophomore from Chicago, said she recently heard about the festival.
off their awe-inspiring talent. You will find not find only local performers but also international performers whose talent speaks volumes in any language. Over the years, the Busker Festival has hosted acts from Canada, Japan, Australia and Mexico. This year the festival's performers come from Canada and the United States. Many participants also graduated from the University, including Richard Renner, the producer of the festival.
"I'd love to see all the different acts
"You should definitely see USA Breakdancers, King Pong Ping Pong Rodeo, Sarah Miss Conception, Silly People and Bekah Hammond. We also have a group of local poets performing in their own space called
ulation and magic that will take you on a ride far beyond your imagination.
Poetry Alley," Renner said.
they've been advertising." Pomper said.
Not everyone shares in the excitement though. Some students, like Jared Starr, a junior from Houston, see the downtown events as an obstacle thrown in front of weekend fun.
The variety of street performers gathered around the Lawrence area have something to offer to everyone. Michael Trautman, the creator of the King Pong Ping Pong Rodeo, fills the streets with the unusual skill of ping pong ball manipulation. Phil LeConte and Colin Franks are two friends known as The Silly People. They have been performing for 20 years and are notorious for their "free-style comedy."
"Mass Street is going to be jampacked with everyone attending the festival which makes it impossible to find parking or walk around to bars at night," Starr said.
If neither of those acts sound intriguing to you, Bobby Maverick will be sure to wow everyone with his magic and escape artistry. Check out the Tricks of the Light, a blend of music, fire, dance, manip-
The festival attracts different ages and kinds of people every year. With an open mind, you may find yourself loving every second of it.

STUDENT LIFE
Students travel from near and far to attend University
MINSEON KIM
As the new school year begins, the University welcomes many incoming students from all around the world. However, a good number of students have not traveled far for a college education.
name@kansan.com
The University campus in Lawrence currently has more than 15,600 students attending from Kansas as in-state students, with more than 17,600 students across all University campuses, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. The highest population of students come from Johnson County (7,064), followed by Douglas (1,891), Sedgwick (1,487), Shawnee (941) and Wyandotte County (535).
According to the education analytic company Niche Ink, 58 percent of high school graduates go to college within 100 miles of home. Niche Ink also reported that 72 percent of students stay in-state to attend college.
Hana Nguyen, a junior from Overland Park, said financial
perspective was the big key for her college decision.
"The main reason I came to KU was because of the instate tuition", Nguyen said. "Also, my parents wanted me to live close to home so I can visit them pretty often."
While more than half of the nation's high school graduates stay relatively close to home, according to Niche Ink's analysis, many students leave for different states for a new adventure.
At the University's Lawrence and Edward campuses, the top numbers of out-of-state students come from the states of Missouri (1,539), Illinois (879), Texas (591), California (433), and Colorado (404).
Libby McCollum, a senior from Fort Collins, Colo., continues the tradition in the family as a fourth generation Jayhawk.
"My first favorite stuffed animal was a Jayhawk," McCollum said. "I always knew I wanted to come here."
"Lawrence has a lot of similarities to my hometown, but also living in Kansas has given me a lot of experiences and opportunities that I might not have had by staying in-state and living close to home," McCollum said.
McCollum said she was able to experience a new place right after graduating high school.
While some students travel hundreds of miles across the country to attend the University, a lot of international students from around the world travel more than 7,000 miles to become Jayhawks. As of fall 2013, the University has a total of 2,246 international students from China (875), Saudi Arabia (258), India (181), South Korea (134), Japan (68) and many more.
Debbie Guan moved from China to the United States to attend the University Ph.D program two years ago.

Going to school in the United States is very reputable," Guan said. "Since I want to teach at a top tier university, I have to get a great education."

Jayhawks intern across the country over summer
VICTORIA CALDERON
@WriterVictoriaC
Summer internships are a great way for college students to continue learning and further one's career goals over the break - without having to pay thousands of dollars to attend summer school.
KU students can view more than 1,440 internships through the KU Career Connections website alone every year. Jayhawks have interned in more than 20 states and some students even receive internships abroad. Internships are paid or unpaid and many even count for major-specific credit hours, according to the University Career Center website statistics.
Summer internships can be especially beneficial as opposed to fall or spring semester internships. They allow students to intern full-time over the course of two or three months without having to worry about completing an essay before the deadline or losing sleep time to study for a test. Being able to focus on an internship without constantly juggling school and other extracurricular activities can improve job performance, thus forging strong professional connections and contacts.
With paid internships, more hours available to work equals more money.
Read below for some success stories from fellow Jayhawks who had internships this summer:
Jaime Hay, sophomore, social work major: Membership Management Intern at Girl Scouts of NE Kansas & NW Missouri in Kansas City, Mo., and Lawrence
"I worked from the council office in Kansas City, Mo., as well as locally in Lawrence at the United Way Building to help with recruitment initiatives and programs specifically for college students in volunteer roles. I got to meet staff from many departments including STEM Programs, Mission Delivery, Brand & Marketing, Fund Development, Community Development and Community Partners while working mainly with the Membership Manager for the Lawrence area, Lori Hanson. In addition to the staff I worked with, I also got to meet many of the great volunteers that help bring the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to life for girls... As a Girl Scout Gold Award recipient, this internship meant a lot to
me. It allowed me to have the opportunity to work with a non-profit that has been such a large part of my life since I was six years old. To start my summer, I helped out at day camp at Hidden Valley Camp in Lawrence, and as the summer progressed I was given the task to engage college students. As a result of my work this summer, a new student group has been created on campus... with the hope of developing similar groups at other universities in our council. KU Girl Scouts is open to all students with or without previous Girl Scout experience who have a passion to help build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place."
Jeffrey Kaplan, senior, psychology major: Tennis Courts intern at Western Southern Open
"I was a [tennis] courts intern at the Western Southern Open in Cincinnati, Ohio. On a day to day basis, I changed nets for the matches that had to take place, as long as made sure the court was supplied and stocked with the appropriate amount of liquids, towels and

Hawk Week concert to feature Nu Disco duo
ALEAH MILLINER
entertain@kansan.com
This year's annual Night on the Hill concert will feature electronic music duo The Knocks. The group will perform on the Aug. 23 at 9 p.m. in the Memorial Stadium parking lot. The Student Union Association has been putting on the event for the past six years to welcome students back to school.
The Knocks are made up of Ben "DJ B-Roc" Ruttner and James "JPatt" Patterson. They both write and produce electronic music in the Nu Disco genre. Before performing their own music, they produced music for artists including Katy Perry, Brittney Spears and Rihanna. They also remix popular music, such as
Haim and the 1975. The pair, who was signed to Neon Gold Records, have several singles including "Make it Better" and "Dancing with the DJ," as well as several mixtapes including the latest, "Peanut Butter and Swelly" and "Classic."
"Night on the Hill is put on for students to get comfortable, and their sound is really good for that."

Coordinator. A few other under-the-radar bands were considered before The Knocks were chosen. All of their music is available to listen to on Soundcloud.
"We booked them back in April before they got really big this summer," said Dustin Wolfe, a senior from Sealy, Texas, and SUA's Live Music
"I like how their music is upbeat and something everyone can dance to. It is catchy and not too intense," said Pat McQuillan, a junior from St. Paul, Minn., who is a part of the committee for live music with SUA and KJHK.
"Night on the Hill is put on for students to get comfortable, and their sound is really good for that kind of atmosphere."
SUA's Night on the Hill is free and open for any student to come out and enjoy.

PARAMOUNT
Cowabunga! 'Ninja Turtles' bring the box-office power
LOS ANGELES — "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" sliced off $65 million at the weekend box office.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Paramount Pictures' comic-book adaptation featuring Megan Fox alongside computer-generated renditions of the pizza-eating, sewer-dwelling superheroes lunged into first place in its debut weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The action film's totally tubular result prompted the studio to announce plans Sunday for a sequel set for June 3, 2016.
Megan Colligan, Paramount's head of domestic marketing and distribution, said the success of the "Ninja Turtles" reboot was mostly derived from a pair of distinctly different audiences: men who fondly remembered the 1980s and '90s franchise that spawned a cartoon series, toy line and a live-action film trilogy, and youngsters familiar with a newer Nickelodeon animated TV series.
"It's odd when you have 25- to 35-year-olds and then 7- to 12-year-olds really excited about the same film," Colligan said. "The teen audience was actually the one that wasn't as familiar with the property, so we
put a lot of focus on teens. I think we did a great job of getting them out there to see the film, which is so fun, refreshing and unique."
"Ninja Turtles," which also stars Will Arnett and William Fichtner, made an additional $28.7 million in international markets such as Russia, Mexico, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan,
"This is the third weekend in a row we've had a film overperform."
PAUL DERGARABEDIAN Rentrak senior media analyst
bringing its worldwide total to a radical $93.7 million.
Marvel Studios" "Guardians of the Galaxy" slid into second place in its second weekend with $41.5 million, bringing its total domestic haul to $175.9 million. The total worldwide box office for the cosmic romp starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista as members of an intergalactic band of do-gooders stands at $313.2 million. Marvel and "Guardians" distributor Disney revealed last month at San Diego Comic-Con that a follow-up is planned
for 2017.
"Guardians" and "Ninja Turtles" are coming to the rescue of an otherwise shell-shocked summer box office, which is still down more than 16 percent over a year ago.
this is the third weekend in a row we've had a film overperform," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst with Rentrak. "It's finally starting to feel like summer. The perception of August used to be that it was the month of the B-sides, not the hits. The movies are now defining what August can be, not the month defining what the movies should be."
Several newcomers debuted distantly behind the heroes on the half-shell this weekend.
"Lucy" was another recent success. The mind-bending Scarlett Johansson film came in fifth place this weekend with $9.3 million in in its third outing.
The Warner Bros. disaster film "Into the Storm" touched down in third place with $18 million, while the Disney culinary drama "The Hundred-Foot Journey," starring Helen Mirren, arrived in fourth place with $11.1 million. Summit's dance sequel "Step Up All In" popped up in sixth place with $6.5 million.

Clinton State Park provides ideal outdoor getaway
When school is in full swing and the stress overload gets overwhelming, a getaway is much needed. While Netflix in your dorm bed is glorious when you're stressed out, sometimes going outdoors is really all you need. Thankfully you don't have to go far.
EMORY HALL entertain@kansan.com
Cyclists can enjoy a rough and rocky 25-mile bike route that circles the northeast side of the Clinton reservoir. Park signs guide you through the winding trails on the north side of the park, which are perfect for a midday run or just a stroll through the forest.
Clinton State Park's 1,500 acres are gorgeous with miles of trees, a shimmering lake and diverse wildlife. The park is accessible to even the students without cars willing to make the four-mile trek from campus.
If you're just looking to lounge out and enjoy the beautiful view, small beaches and overlooks are wonderful for taking a swim or just dipping your toes in.
While Clinton Lake offers glorious opportunities for getting away from reality for an hour to an afternoon, there are also campgrounds for overnight adventures. Clinton
Clinton State Park is a great place for stressed out students to go when schoolwork seems to pile up. The park features 1,500 acres of trees and a lake.
is a leader of the Adventure Club. She said club members frequently take camping trips and day trips out to Clinton Lake. She said a group has camped and gone kayaking there in the past.
Lake has extensive cabins and plenty of campground space
Stephen Hicks, a senior from Houston, is no stranger to the Clinton Lake campsites and trails. Although the park has a full-time staff and maps to aid trail-goers, Hicks said he prefers the uncharted territory. Clinton Lake can lead you around in circles, which can be unnerving. But to a thrill seeker, the outdoors can take you on a real adventure.
"I kind of have a preference to not know where I'm going sometimes," Hicks said.
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
Hicks said he enjoys the natural beauty of Clinton Lake when he needs a moment in nature either solo or with friends. Hicks suggests bringing friends when exploring, especially if it's your first time at Clinton.
Whether you're looking for a walk through the trees
Camping at Clinton Lake can be a unique weekend activity and is inexpensive when you rent equipment from the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. The Rec allows students to rent equipment such as tents, kayaks, bikes and backpacks.
to catch your breath or an exciting weekend in the woods with some friends, there are plenty of things to do at Clinton State Park.
The KU Adventure Club can also help you find other students who are interested in the same trips and experiences as you are. Maureen Costello, a senior from Johnsburg, Ill.,

CELEBRITY
University alumni find fame in various fields
RYAN MILLER
news@kansan.com
Every year, thousands of students walk down the hill and graduate from the University. Various graduates become familiar faces on the news and over the past couple decades, numerous alumni have found fame, including some past Jayhawks below.
PAUL RUDD
(APR. 6. 1969 - )
Today, Paul Rudd is known as an actor, comedian, screenwriter and musician. You might recognize him in various movies such as the "Anchorman" series, "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up." According to imdb.com, Rudd was originally a student at the University of Kansas and majored in theatre. He was also known for having been a part of the Sigma Nu fraternity on campus for several years.
Rudd has shown his Jayhawk pride subtily in some of his work, including wearing his KU hat in several scenes of the 1995 film "Clueless." In an interview with Kansas City Ink, Rudd said his character, Brian Fantana, in the comedy film "Anchorman," even mentions Rudd's college roommate in a lude joke.
ROBERT ALLEN "ROB"
RIGGLE, JR.
(APR. 21, 1970 - )
Famed actor and comedian, Rob Riggle is known for his roles in many films such as "The Hangover," "21 Jump Street" and in upcoming films like "Dumb and Dumber To." He is mostly known for his work as a correspondent for Comedy Central's "The Daily Show". According to his Facebook page, Riggle graduated from the University of Kansas in 1992 after attending for several years, he majored in theatre & film and minored in history.
Additionally, Riggle was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
(FEB. 10, 1868 -
JAN. 29, 1944)
This KU alumnus is quite famous, and you may recognize the name. That's because the journalism school here at the University is named after him. White first attended the College of Emporia and later the University of Kansas. According to the University website, "though the future 'Sage of Emporia' attended both colleges, he never earned a degree."
White learned the newspaper business at his first newspaper job for the El Dorado newspaper. In 1892, he began working for The Kansas City Star and after several years, he borrowed $3,000 to purchase The Emporia Gazette, where he stayed for the remainder of his life. White became famous
after an article he never intended to publish, "What's the Matter with Kansas," was printed and distributed around the country. Over the course of the rest of his career and life, he earned many awards including two Pulitzer Prizes. The school of journalism was renamed to the William Allen White School of Journalism in 1944, after his death.
FORREST C.
"PHOG" ALLEN
(NOV. 18, 1885-
SEPT. 18, 1974)
Forrest "Phog" Allen, also known as the "father of basketball coaching" is a renowned alumnus and was the head basketball coach for 39 years. Allen Fieldhouse was dedicated to him on Mar. 1, 1955. According to the University website, Forrest Allen was coached by James Naismith while he attended the University. Over the years, his various teams won 24
conference championships and three national titles.
According to his biography from the Kansas Historical Society, he began classes at the University in 1904 and played various sports, including three years of basketball. Allen was also a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. He was a student for several years, although he left in 1909 to study osteopathic medicine at the Kansas College of Osteopathy, later returning to the University to coach again.
RONALD ELLWIN "RON"
EVANS, JR.
(NOV. 10, 1933 -
APR. 7, 1990)
Have you ever wanted to fly to the moon? This Jayhawk has. He was Command Module pilot for Apollo 17 — which was the last manned flight to the moon. Although he did not land on the moon with his two crewmates, he did orbit the moon and is the last person
to do this solo. While at the University, he received a degree in electrical engineering in 1956. According to his NASA biography, he later earned a degree in Aeronautical Engineering as well from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School. The biography also states he was a member of Tau Beta Pi, Society of Sigma Xi, and Sigma Nu fraternities.

FILM
Company to digitize 500 of Andy Warhol's films
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Andy Warhol made more than 500 films between 1963 and 1972. Some ran for eight and a half hours while others lasted four minutes. Soon after he was shot in June 1968, Warhol withdrew most of his early art films from circulation. After his death in 1987, a handful of those films went back in circulation through the Museum of Modern Art's film library.
Now, The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City will partner with a Technicolor company called MPC to make the films available in digital format.
Work begins this month in New York City on nearly 1,000 rolls of original 16 mm film, which will be digitally scanned, frame by frame. Each frame will be converted into a high resolution image that is 2K, or two times the resolution quality of typical high definition television.
The project, which covers more than a million feet of film, will last several years because the process takes time and requires careful handling of the original 16 mm films. Not all of the films, which have been housed at MoMA since the 1990s, are ready to be scanned because they must first undergo conservation, said Rick Armstrong, a spokesman for The Andy Warhol Museum. The films are among the most frequently requested works in MoMA's circulating library.
The digitization project is a joint effort by MPC, an Oscar-winning creative studio that crafts spectacular visual experiences and Adstream, an Australian company that provides digital asset management. MPC has produced visual effects for such films as "Godzilla," "Maleficent," "X-Men," "Days of Future Past," "Life of Pi," World War Z" and "The Lone Ranger."
Patrick Moore, deputy director of The Andy Warhol Museum and adjunct curator for this project, said MPC employees are so excited about the work that some of them are moving from the company's London office to New York City.
"We truly do view the
films as being as important as a painting. Imagine if you found out that there were 100 unknown Warhol masterpieces sitting in a warehouse. That's how we view this unseen material. Many of the times when we show the films, we don't have 16 mm projection capability. We have to work from less than ideal digital transfers." Moore said.
Once the films are digital, they can be shown in their finest form, he added.

MPC is doing this as a gift. We never went out and costed it in that way. We assumed it would be much more than we could possibly afford."
*MPC is doing
working in Downtown New York during the 1960s, Moore said.
Warhol's films, Moore said, have a "do-it-yourself disregard for technical quality and a very naughty and precocious sense of humor in just making it up as you go along. Warhol had this interesting idea that it was OK if the film was boring or aggravated the audience."
A New York judge deemed "Flaming Creatures" obscene. Police seized the film when it was screened in April 963 at the Bleecker Street Cinema in New York City.
Jack Smith, whose 43-minute erotic movie, "Flaming Creatures," was censored in New York, appeared in some Warhol films.
Warhol had a successful commercial, dual projected film called "Chelsea Girls," which was distributed in 1966.
"Andy filmed the screening and that film was seized by the New York Police Department and never recovered," Moore said.
"It has been shown here and at MOMA. it's long and it's difficult and it has no narrative," Moore said, adding that it includes "many screen tests, solo monologues and people who are obviously enjoying some
controlled substances."
The project will last two years, Moore said.
"We have to really make sure that we have all of the data on the films correct. We are working with the Whitney Museum of American Art to ensure that we are all using the same titles," he said.
Research on Warhol's films is being done by curators at the Whitney and part of that effort involves determining exactly how many films the artist made. In 2017, Yale University Press will publish the definitive catalog of Warhol's films. The same academic press published volume one of Callie Angell's work on Warhol's films. A well-known film scholar, Angell died in 2010 at age 62.
Moore could not quantify the cost of the project because MPC is doing it for free.
"MPC is doing this as a gift. We never went out and costed it in that way. We assumed it would be much more than we could possibly afford. They are a part of Technicolor. They have the capacity to do this in a way that a normal lab would not. They scan it at such a high level that it becomes the new master for the film." Moore said.
Some of the fruits of this project will be shown later this year when fifteen Warhol films that have never been seen by the public will premiere Oct. 17 at Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh. The event, "Exposed: Songs for Unseen Warhol Films," will feature live musical performances by Tom Verlaine, Martin Rev, Dean Wareham, Eleanor Friedberger and Bradford Cox.

Guide to important places and traditions on campus
RYAN WRIGHT
Welcome to the University of Kansas. Now that you're here, you've probably heard about the Campanile and about a place called Wescoe Beach. If you haven't figure out exactly what they are yet, you're in the right place.
ROCK CHALK
@RyanWrightUDK
Rock Chalk is one of the most iconic phrases in the world, but most people don't know the history behind it. According to Professor Jeffrey Moran, the chair of the history department at the University, "Rock Chalk" is an inversion of chalk rock. Chalk rock is the limestone that can be found nearly everywhere in Kansas, especially when you try to dig. Student ambassador Culin Thompson said that the Rock Chalk Chant evolved from a cheer that chemistry professor E.H.S Bailey created for his science club in 1886. Thompson said that Professor Bailey used the cheer at science competitions and when the University called for a campus chant, Professor Bailey submitted his. Later it evolved to "Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU' which is used today.
IT'S NOT A BEACH... IS IT? Wescoe Beach is one of the most popular places on campus. Every day you'll spot many
students meeting up with
friends or relaxing, but why is it called Wescoe Beach?
Moran said Wescoe Beach is named after Chancellor Clark Wescoe because he had the entire area covered with sand from the Caribbean for students on campus to play sand volleyball.
THE CAMPANILE
The Campanile is a 120-football bell tower which was built as a World War II memorial in 1951, according to Thompson. The bell plays the Westminster chimes every quarter hour between 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. It is University tradition to walk through the Campanile into Memorial Stadium during graduation. It is rumored that if students walk through the Campanile before graduation they will not graduate on time.
THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SNOW HALL
Snow Hall is one of the most recognizable buildings on campus and it is easily one of the more aesthetically pleasing. It's rumored that the building was designed after Snow White's castle because the architect's daughter was a big fan of Disney, but Thompson confirmed this to be incorrect. According to Jeffrey Moran, Snow Hall precedes the Disney castles by many years. Moran said that when it was built, every university in the country was following the style known as "university gothic" and was under the impression that
real university was supposed to look like a late-medieval monastery.
THE PHOG
Allen Fieldhouse is one of the most special places in college basketball. Its rich history is
unrivaled. Allen Fieldhouse opened and hosted its first basketball game in 1955, where the the University of Kansas defeated Kansas State University. The Fieldhouse is the oldest in the Big 12 and will celebrate its 60th birthday this season. The DeBruce Center, a new building which will be built next to the Fieldhouse, will host Dr. James Naismith's original rules of basketball which were purchased by the Booth Family to be displayed at the University.
Jim Marchiony, Associate Athletics Director, shared a little known fact about Allen Fieldhouse. Marchiony said construction of the Fieldhouse was delayed in the 1950s because of the scarcity of steel due to the Korean War. The University received permission to build the Fieldhouse after emphasizing the use of the building for ROTC purposes.
Now that you know most of the important things about the structures and sayings of the University, you're officially ready to begin your journey.

McDonald's
In the past 18 months, McDonald's has implemented various measures to try to reverse its junk food image. The restaurant has added healthier options to its menu, including substituting salads for fries in combo meals and adding mandarin orange slices to Happy Meals.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
McDonald's confronts unhealthy image
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - At a dinner McDonald's hosted for reporters and bloggers, waiters served cuisine prepared by celebrity chefs using ingredients from the chain's menu.
A Kung Pao chicken appetizer was made with Chicken McNuggets doused in sweet and sour sauce and garnished with parsley. Slow-cooked beef was served with gnocchi fashioned out of McDonald's french fries and a fruit sauce from its smoothie mix. For dessert, its biscuit mix was used to make a pumpkin spice "biznut," a biscuit-doughnut hybrid.
The event, held in New York City's Tribeca neighborhood, was billed "A transforming dining experience of 'fast food' to 'good food served fast.'" Attendees tweeted out photos and the night was written up on various websites.
The dishes aren't intended for McDonald's restaurants. Instead, the evening is part of a campaign by McDonald's to shake its reputation for serving cheap, unhealthy food. At a time when Americans are playing closer attention to what they eat, the company is trying to sway public opinion by first reaching out to the reporters, bloggers and other so-called "influencers" who write and speak about McDonald's.
McDonald's declined to make an executive available for this story, but CEO Don Thompson said early this year. "We've got to make sure that the food is relevant and that the awareness around McDonald's as a kitchen
It's just one way McDonald's is trying to change its image. In the past 18 months, the chain has introduced the option to substitute egg whites in breakfast sandwiches and rolled out chicken wraps as its first menu item with cucumbers. Last fall, it announced plans to give people the choice of a salad instead of fries in combo meals. And in coming months, mandarins will be offered in Happy Meals, with other fruits being explored as well.
and a restaurant that cooks and prepares fresh, high quality food is strong and pronounced."
The company faces an uphill battle, especially if the past is any indication. The salads it introduced more than a decade ago account for just 2 to 3 percent of sales. And the chain last year discontinued its Fruit & Walnut salad and premium Angus burgers, which analysts said were priced too high for McDonald's customers at around $5.
"We're going to start really, really telling our story in a much more proactive manner."
KEVIN NEWELL Brand and strategy manager
In some ways, the image McDonald's is battling is ironic, given its reputation for exacting standards with suppliers. Thompson has also noted the ingredients tend to be fresh because restaurants go through them so quickly.
But even that reputation for supply chain rigor was recently tarnished when the chain's longtime supplier was reported to have sold expired meat to its restaurants in China.
The problem is that some people don't consider McDonald's a place to get high quality food, in part because the prices are so low. And while McDonald's has added salads and a yogurt parfait to its menu over the years, Americans are gravitating toward other attributes, like organic produce and meat raised without antibiotics.
"The produce and the products that we have at breakfast and across the menu are fresher than — no disrespect intended — what most of you have in your refrigerators," he said at an analyst conference in May.
"People just don't think of McDonald's as having that premium quality," said Sara Senatore, a restaurant industry analyst with Bernstein Research.
The low-cost burgers, ice cream cones and other food that made McDonald's so popular since it was founded in 1955 have come to define it. And some people can't get over the idea that low prices equal low quality.
"It's the whole perception people get when you sell something cheaply," said Richard Adams, who used to own McDonald's restaurants in San Diego and now runs a consulting firm for franchisees.
The Price Conundrum
Anne Johnson, for instance, said she eats at McDonald's because she can get a burger, fries and drink for about $5. But Johnson, a New York resident, doesn't think there are any healthy options there. "Basically, it's junk food," she said
Adding to its challenge, McDonald's can't seem to raise prices without driving people away. Pressured by rising costs for beef and other ingredients, the chain tried to move away from the Dollar Menu in 2012 with an "Extra Value Menu" where items were priced at around $2.
But customers are apparently righteous about the $1 price point, and the strategy was scrapped. Last year, McDonald's changed its tactic a bit, hoping not to turn off customers. It tweaked the name of the "Dollar Menu" to the "Dollar Menu & More."
McDonald's low prices also are part of what keeps it from competing with places such as Chipotle, which is touting the removal of genetically modified ingredients from its menu, and Panera, which recently said it will eliminated all artificial ingredients by 2016. Such moves would be Herculean feats for McDonald's, given its pricing model and the complexity of its menu.
Meanwhile, the company acknowledges there are problems with how people perceive its food. "A lot of our guests don't believe our food is real," said Dan Coudreault, director of culinary innovation at McDonald's, in an interview last year.
The image of McDonald's food is a growing concern for the company at a time when U.S. sales have been
weak for two years. The last time McDonald's managed to boost a monthly sales figure at home was in October, and the company warns its performance isn't expected to improve anytime soon.
McDonald's has said it has other problems, including slow and inaccurate service at its restaurants. But improving perceptions about its food is also a priority.
Following the dinner in New York last fall, the company hosted a similar event last month for reporters covering the Essence Festival in New Orleans. Beignets filled with grilled chicken and dusted with sugar were served alongside a packet of McDonald's honey mustard sauce.
Other "chef events" in local markets are planned for coming months, according to Lisa McComb, a McDonald's spokeswoman. She declined to provide details but said the events will be a spin on a recent contest between two friends to make a gourmet dish out of a Big Mac meal.
The company continues to tweak the menu, too. The new Bacon Club burger McDonald's is promoting comes on a brioche bun and looks more like something that might be found at a trendy burger joint. It costs $5 or $6, depending on where you live, making it the most expensive sandwich on the menu.
In Southern California, McDonald's also is testing a "Build Your Own Burger" concept, with the patties being cooked to order more slowly on a separate grill.
Beyond the menu, the company is determined to take control of its narrative.
"We're going to start really, really telling our story in a much more proactive manner," said Kevin Newell, U.S. brand and strategy officer for McDonald's said late last year.
He added that McDonald's has gone too long in "letting other folks frame the story for us."
McComb said McDonald's wasn't associated with that particular contest, which was posted online.

FASHION
Five must-have items for your fall wardrobe
DELANEY REYBURN
@DelaneyRyburn
Staying fashion forward can be difficult with a college student's tight budget and schedule. But with five simple, but necessary, fashion items, students can be stylish and practical this fall, whether they are out on Jayhawk Boulevard or roaming Massachusetts Street on a Saturday night.
Women
1) Converse
2) Harem pants
3) Oversized sweater
4) Scarf
5) Combat boots
There's a style of Converse for everyone. They range in a variety of colors, heights, patterns and designs, which make them easy to pair with sweatpants or a summer dress. Converse shoes are comfortable and closed-toe, making them practical for working, walking around campus or keeping your feet sanitary at the Hawk.
Harem pants are fashionable sweat pants that tighten at the ankles and can be found in every possible pattern.
"No one really wants to dress cute for class, especially if we don't have to, but you feel better about yourself when you know you look decent," said Ashley Stein, a sophomore from Plymouth, Minn. "I love harem pants, which I call my 'party pants,' because I can wear them anywhere by dressing them up or down."
An oversized sweater is an affordable item that can be found almost anywhere. It can be thrown over leggings with boots for a simple day of shopping or paired with heels for a night out. You can even
throw it over a pair of running shorts to complete the perfect outfit for a lazy day around campus.
Scarves can keep you warm and cozy or accessorize an outfit.
"Scarves are so simple but can be the determining factor between a 'blah' outfit and a 'wow' outfit" said Gabby Bux, a sophomore from Chicago.
Haley Wiaz, a sophomore from Buffalo Grove, Ill., said she loves combat boots and isn't the only college girl who loves their convenience. Combat boots can be paired with any outfit for almost any occasion.
"They match jeans, leggings, skirts, dresses, and you can wear them to class or out at night," Wiaz said. "And they make me feel like I'm in the Army."
1) Quarter zip sweatshirt
2) Cargo shorts
3) KU jersey
4) Baseball hat
5) Sperry boat shoes
Any college man can rock the quarter zip. Quarter zip sweatshirts come in all different materials, which make the style practical for multiple occasions. Pick out a classy one to make a statement at a tailgate or find yourself a comfy fleece to throw on for class. Wherever you're headed, the quarter zip is an essential fall item for all college men.
Rarely do you go anywhere on or around a college campus and not see men in cargo shorts. Cargo shorts are the safe haven of pants and are practical in almost every situation. They are easy to dress up and easy to dress down, making them another
essential fall must-have. They can be found in different colors and patterns, allowing them to be paired with a variety of shirts and jackets.
Stay spirited this fall and rock a KU jersey. It's a perfect fashion item to be worn to class, a tailgate, a football game or to dinner with friends. This fall must-have can get a little pricey, but the use you'll get out of it is well worth the investment.
"Guys wear baseball hats because they are cool and you can wear them with anything.
MITCH HOYT
Senior from San Ramon,
Calif.
It's hard to argue that a baseball hat isn't an essential item to a man's fall wardrobe. It's practical and inexpensive. Baseball hats come in so many different styles that they're easy to wear with any outfit. Senior Mitch Hoyt from San Ramon, Calif., said, "Guys wear baseball hats because they are cool and you can wear them with anything. And the ladies love them."
Sperry's are comfy boat shoes you can wear to class, an interview, work, a night out, tailgates and even games — what's not to love? Sperry shoes are a great way to complete your fall wardrobe.
All of these items are affordable and easy to find. Keep up with the practical fall fashion and start off the new school year in style by spicing up your wardrobe with five simple items.

Annotated 'Pioneer Girl' to print
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PIERRE, S.D. — Laura Ingalls Wilder penned one of the most beloved children's series of the 20th century, but her forthcoming autobiography will show devoted "Little House on the Prairie" fans a more realistic, grittier view of frontier living.
The South Dakota State Historical Society Press plans to publish "Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography," the autobiography of Laura Ingalls Wilder, with a cover illustrated by Judy Thompson.
LAURA INGALLS WILDER
Pioneer Girl
The Annotated Autobiography
FAMELA SMITH WILL 2014
"Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography" — Wilder's unedited draft that was written for an adult audience and eventually served as the foundation for the popular series — is slated to be released by the South Dakota State Historical Society Press nationwide this fall. The not-safe-for-children tales include stark scenes of domestic abuse, love triangles gone awry and a man who lit himself on fire while drunk.
Wilder and her daughter Rose Wilder Lane, herself a well-known author, tried and failed to get an edited version of the autobiography published throughout the early 1930s. The original rough draft has been preserved at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum in Mansfield, Missouri, for decades but hadn't been published.
The children's series never presented a romanticized version of life on the prairie — in "Little House in the Big Woods," Laura and her sister Mary gleefully help dissect the family pig before bouncing its inflated bladder back and forth in the yard. But the series also left out or fictionalized scenes that Wilder deemed unsuitable for kids, including much of the time the family spent in
Burr Oak, Iowa, and Walnut Grove, Minnesota, according to Pamela Smith Hill, a Wilder biographer and the lead editor on the autobiography.
"So you can read 'Pioneer Girl' as nonfiction rather than fiction and get a better feeling of how the historical Ingalls family really lived, what their relationships were and how they experienced the American West," she said.
Wilder details a scene from her childhood in Burr Oak, in which a neighbor of the Ingalls' pours kerosene throughout his bedroom, sets it on fire and proceeds to drunkenly drag his wife around by her hair before Wilder's father Pa in the children's books intervenes.
Scenes like that make Wilder's memoir sound like it's filled with scandal and mature themes, "which isn't exactly true either," according to Amy Lauters, an associate professor of mass media at Minnesota State University-Mankato.
"It's just that that first version was blunt, it was honest. It was full of the everyday sorts of things that we don't care to think about when we think about history," said Lauters, who has read the original manuscript and also is writing a book on Rose Wilder Lane. "And it's certainly not the fantasized version we saw on 'Little House on the Prairie' the television show."
Wilder's story will likely do well in South Dakota, since the author moved to De Smet in the late 1870s with her family, eventually meeting her future husband there.
For fans, the autobiography is chance to see from where Wilder drew her inspiration, said Sandra Hume, a Wilder aficionado who published an internationally distributed newsletter for 10 years and now helps manage Laurapalooza, a conference dedicated to all things Wilder.
"I am very excited to see people have access to this, because her life story has been pretty muddled because people get mixed up with the TV show and it's nice to see an interest in people seeing basically what is the primary source ..." she said.
The autobiography preserves
Wilder's original rough draft
— misspellings, idiosyncrasies
and all — but adds extensive
annotations.
"Little House" lovers can learn about the three girls that Wilder combined to create the Nellie Olson character, or how extensive the damage was in Minnesota during the grasshopper plague of the 1870s, which forced Pa in "On the Banks of Plum Creek" to set out in search of work.
"In some ways, I came to think of the annotations in 'Pioneer Girl' as almost an encyclopedia about Laura Ingalls Wilder's life and work," Hill said.

anything else that the players needed, as well as helped fans and patrons with anything else they needed around the grounds. It gave me the experience that I loved and enjoyed, and also showed me the type of work, the amount of work that needs to be done to put on a professional level event. I play tennis recreationally... and it's a passion of mine that I would love to work in someday."
Samantha Spillers, sophomore, civil engineering major: Tech Intern at Utility Design Services in Edwardsville, Ill.
"Utility Design Services (UDS) is a small engineering company that is affiliated with Donco Electric. I worked on the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) Project. Our company contracted with Ameren Illinois, a major electricity provider in Illinois, to complete this project. My job required me to travel to towns all over the state of Illinois to do safety inspections on the electric services on houses and, occasionally, businesses. When I did these inspections, I looked for safety violations such as building contact (the service wire, or power line, was touching the house somehow) or a clearance issue (the line was too low over the yard, driveway, street, pool, etc.). Once I identified the problem, I filled out a report that included measurements and pictures of the violation and then came up with a solution for how the problem could be fixed on the spot. The recommendations I made then went into a letter that was sent to the customer to notify them that the electric service on their home had a violation... I was able to learn a lot about an unfamiliar field. This internship taught me more about what an engineer's job entitles, and assured me that engineering is the right career for me."
Sarah Taylor, senior, mechanical engineering major: Engineering Services Intern at Epcot in Orlando, Fla.
"I helped develop solutions for ride maintenance issues in a couple on the Future World and World Showcase attractions. I feel that I was able to apply the technical skills learned at KU to a much broader concept. I learned a lot about communication, and how a large company functions. Being able to see a project from the initial problem all the way until my designs were implemented was something invaluable. I hope to return to Disney after graduating in May, so completing my second internship with them makes me a more competitive applicant."

Longtime 'SNL' announcer Don Pardo dies at 96
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Few would recognize his face, but most knew his voice: the booming baritone that for nearly four decades heralded "Saturday Night Live."
Don Pardo, the erasspanning radio and TV announcer whose resonant voiceover style was celebrated for its majesty and power, died Monday in Arizona at the age of 96.
"He became our link to the beginnings of television on NBC — and radio," said Lorne Michaels, who, as creator of "SNL" (and who remains its executive producer) hired Pardo.
Pardo's strong jaw and leading-man smile were seldom on display, but for more than 60 years his elegant pipes graced newscasts, game shows (during the original run of "Jeopardy!" its emcee ritually called on him to "Tell 'em what they've won, Don Pardo") and especially "SNL," where he played an integral role through last season, heralding the lineup, like always, as recently as the May finale.
"There was no greater thrill than hearing Don Pardo bellow your name for the first time in the opening credits of "Saturday Night Live," said longtime cast member Tina Fey. "It meant you were officially 'on television.'"
Fey described Pardo as "a sweet, sweet man," adding, "Late night will never sound as cool again."
"My whole life changed once Don Pardo said my name," echoed Amy Poehler, a fellow "SNL' alum. "I will really miss that kind and talented man."
His was no ordinary voice and he guarded it closely, with cough drops always at the ready.
"My voice is my Achilles' heel," Pardo said in a 1985 interview with The Associated Press. "When I get sick, it's always my voice."
But it served him well from a tender age.
Dominick George Pardo was born in Westfield, Mass., on Feb. 22, 1918, and grew up in Norwich, Conn.
One of his first jobs was that of ticket-taker at a local movie theater; even then, his voice was commanding.
"I'd go out there with a cape and say: 'Standing room only in the mezzanine. Immediate seating in the balcony.'"
His father, Dominick owned a small bakery and had wanted his son to join the business. But young Pardo followed his own dream. After graduating from Boston's Emerson College in 1942, he began his vocal career at radio station WJAR
"He became our link to the beginnings of television on NBC — and radio."
LORNE MICHAELS
Creator of "SNL"
n Providence, R.I.
Two years later, he was hired by a supervisor at NBC immediately upon hearing his voice. He moved to NBC's New York affiliate, and never left the network.
Pardo made his mark quickly, reading news dispatches on the radio filed from the front lines during World War II. After the war, he was the announcer for such shows as the "Arthur Murray Party", "Colgate Comedy Hour" and "Your Show of Shows."
In 1954, he was brought in to announce "Winner Takes All," beginning a long run in game shows. He was heard forcefully on the original "The Price is Right" (1956-63) and the original "Jeopardy!" (1964-75), hosted by Art Fleming.
When NBC launched the radical, cutting-edge
"Saturday Night Live" in 1975 with Pardo as its charmingly old-school patriarch, he was discovered by a new generation — although, on opening night, he made a rare stumble, botching one of the credits. Instead of saying "The Not Ready for Prime Time Players," Pardo introduced the show's new comedy troupe as "The Not for Ready Prime Time Players."
Aside from Season 7, when he was rudely displaced, Pardo remained an "SNL" mainstay.
Between working on shows, Pardo often spent several hours a day in an NBC sound studio as one of the last network "booth announcers" working a regular daily shift.
And every weekday afternoon for several years in the 1980s, Pardo would quickly clad himself in a tie and blazer to step on camera long enough to announce the local New York station's "Live at Five" newcast - although Pardo's vocal alchemy rendered it as "Liiiiive at Fiiiiive!"
rardo retired from NBC in 2004.
"But Lorne Michaels called me soon after and asked if I would continue for three more weeks, so I did," Pardo told the AP in 2010. "Then he called and asked if I would do five more, and so on. I never really left."
For several years, Pardo commuted from Tucson each week the show aired. He arrived to open the show in Rockefeller Center's fabled Studio 8H and then caught a returning flight. At the end of the show on Feb.23, 2008, he was brought on camera to blow out the candles of a birthday cake in honor of his 90th birthday.
In later years, he more often recorded his introductions from home, where he died peacefully Monday afternoon, said his daughter Dona Pardo.

Student interest in hammocks increases
MADISON RUBERT
@MadisonRubert
As hammock culture becomes increasingly prevalent on campus, more students are adding a hammock to their list of back-to-school essentials. Many students are enticed to invest in a hammock due to the appeal of relaxing at Clinton and Potter lakes on a sunny afternoon.
Hammocks encourage students to spend less time hitting the books and more time enjoying the fresh air.
"A hammock seems like a fun and relaxing way to chill at Potter Lake ... I'd also love to see more students hanging outdoors at Clinton Lake and other parks in Lawrence," sophomore Michele Thompson said.
A self-designed survey elicited the opinions of the
The students who were dissuaded against purchasing a hammock diagnosed their lack of interest as a result of the price factor or lack of practicality. Josh Lin, a survey respondent who's not interested in purchasing a hammock, said, "The ground is sufficient for sleeping."
student body concerning the hammock trend. Although the vast majority of the 15 respondents agreed it would be fun to own a hammock and believed their classmates would be interested in owning a hammock, only a third of students reported intentions of actually purchasing a hammock.
seem to be more or less appealing in accordance to one's willingness to invest in some time off to enjoy the local parks and lakes.
The prices of hammocks range from $15-$1,000. Considering the budget of college students, the absolute lowest end of this price range is usually most appealing. There is a variety of affordable hammocks for less than $60 at Walmart, Target or Dick's Sporting Goods.
There's no doubt that hammock shopping has experienced a surge in popularity among KU students; however, not everyone is aboard the bandwagon. Hammocks

Whether hammock culture is just a fleeting trend or is here to stay, hammocks are gradually gaining popularity among students. Hammock culture, although a new and upcoming trend, has already garnered sufficient interest across campus.

Entertaining apps help students with organization
JOHN PAUL REYNOLDS
@JohnPaul_UDK
As school is back in session, life can become disorganized under the stress of assignments, jobs and maintaining a social life. However, solutions for managing your daily mess are right at your fingertips, waiting to be downloaded.
VENMO
Venmo is a very useful app for college students. It is free to download and it allows users to pay their friends back if they don't have cash on them. Just link your banking information to the secure app and you can transfer payments immediately.
HOMESLICE
HOMESLICE Homeslice coincides
perfectly with Venmo. Homeslice is an organizational app that helps roommates regulate their monthly bills and even day-to-day chores. Start by creating a "home" with your roommates and from there begin the division of household tasks. "It is really easy to keep track of bills between your roommates, virtually no hassle," Daniel Shea, a senior from Gladstone, Missouri, said.
IFTTT
IFTTT stands for If This Than That. Choose a "trigger" and an "action"; this combination is called a "recipe." An example would be: if there is a chance of rain tomorrow, notify me the morning so I can bring an umbrella. It could be
really useful for organizing all the incoming information to your phone. The app currently has a four-star rating on iTunes, compiled from a total of 317 ratings.
UNSEEN
Unseen is essentially an anonymous Instagram. There is no login, just pick your school and see a plethora of posted photos. Post your own photos and rate and comment on others. It shows a perspective that wouldn't normally be exposed, and you can check out other schools to see what other colleges are up to.

Smithsonian adds LGBT history to museum collection
WASHINGTON — Hundreds of photographs, papers and historical objects documenting the history of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people are being added to the Smithsonian Institution's collection Tuesday, including items from the popular TV show "Will and Grace."
Show creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick along with NBC are donating objects to the National Museum of American History. The collection includes original scripts, casting ideas, political memorabilia surrounding the show and the series finale. The network agreed to donate props, including a pill bottle and flask, a sign from "Grace Adler Interior Design" and Will Truman's framed college diploma.
Kohan told The Associated Press that the Smithsonian's interest in the show featuring gay principal
characters was a validation they never dreamed about when the sitcom began airing in 1998. "Will and Grace" ran through May 2006 depicting four friends both gay and straight, eventually ending with the main characters coupled off with children.
well understood at the museum. Curators are collecting materials from LGBT political, sports and cultural history objects from Arizona to Maryland.
"These particular guests that were invited into people's living rooms happened to be your gay friends," Kohan said. "I don't think people really had the opportunity to have that before, and it served to, I think, make people recognize that your close friends were gay."
Some items being donated include the diplomatic passports of Ambassador David Huebner, the first openly gay U.S. ambassador confirmed by the Senate, and his husband; materials from a gay community center in Baltimore; and photography collections from Patsy Lynch and Silvia Ros documenting gay rights activism.
"The fact that it's in the American history (museum), maybe we were a part of something that was bigger than we ever imagined," Kohan said.
From sports history, the museum will receive a tennis racket from former professional player Renee Richards who won a landmark New York Supreme Court decision for transgender rights after she was denied entry to the U.S. Open in 1975.

'The Trip to Italy' - August 29 -
Liberty Hall
"The Trip" didn't need a ridiculous premise or bawdy gags to become one of the funniest films of recent years, just Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon poking fun at each other with largely improvised banter and dueling impressions of famous actors. Now they're back for another road trip of fine dining, this time through the idyllic Italian countryside. They've matured since the last outing and ponder growing older, death, friendship and the little stuff in between. But their witty dialogue about life comes second to the impersonations of Michael Caine, Al Pacino, Sean Connery and many more that will have you laughing out loud throughout.
'A Walk Among the Tombstones'
- Sent. 19
Sure, we've seen Liam Neeson as a grizzled ass-kicker hunting down the bad guys over and over since "Taken," but he's so intense it doesn't get old (despite his age), and "A Walk Among the Tombstones" has a high pedigree behind it that should actually make it a worthwhile surprise. Writer/director Scott Frank also made the unique heist gem "The Lookout," so he can pack an exciting punch into a seemingly standard crime thriller. Neeson plays a P.I. searching for the criminal group who kidnapped and killed a drug kingpin's wife in this bestselling novel adaptation that looks dark, gritty and stylish.

Alejandro González Iñárritu's dramedy "Birdman," about a troubled actor (Michael Keaton), once famous for his superhero movie role now trying to reclaim his former greatness by staging a Broadway play, will be one of this year's craziest films. Drawing on Keaton's real role as Tim Burton's Batman, the story shows the surreal state of mind of the actor as his Birdman persona collides with reality for what seems like a hilarious, sad and technically astounding journey. "Gravity" cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki purportedly shot the film to look like one long,
continuous shot, meaning a guaranteed, dazzling cinematic marvel.
'Interstellar' - Nov.7
Christopher Nolan has kept details pretty secretive for his new sci-fi blockbuster "Interstellar," which means the film has some phenomenal surprises in store for viewers. The story stars Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway as scientists going on a space mission through a wormhole to discover a more hospitable planet than climate-embattled Earth. Nolan seems to be going for scope comparable to "2001: A Space Odyssey" with this film, saying it's his biggest yet. Considering his last original sci-fi movie was "Inception," prepare yourself to be blown away when this opens. If you see one film in IMAX all year, this should be it.

Of all the upcoming superhero and comic-based TV shows, this prequel to the Batman universe looks to deliver the best content. FOX knows how to do police and crime thrillers pretty well, and despite its bit of cartooniness, it will no doubt prove entertaining. "Gotham" focuses on future Commissioner Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) working to fight the crime and villains of Gotham City's streets when Bruce Wayne is still a boy. There's lots to mine from the comics, and witnessing the origin and evolution of iconic characters always makes for interesting narratives.

Faculty and staff to sample dining options
ANDY NELSON news@kansan.com
The University will hold its second annual Taste of KU Dinning event on Aug. 20. The event is free; however, it is only open to faculty and staff. Faculty and staff will be able to sample an array of food and beverage options like the famous crunchy chicken cheddar wrap and the various coffees available at retail and residential dining facilities on campus.
Nona Golledge, KU Dining Service Director, helped organize the event.
"We created an event for faculty to take and try options that are available to them with their faculty and staff meal plans," Golledge said.
Golledge said that because there was a clear lack in an opportunity for the University's workers to try their food options and in order to thank faculty for everything they do, the event was created solely for them to try the many different types of foods available to them.
Students will also have an opportunity to sample the many food options the University has to offer at events
like UnionFest and HawkFest, where major dining locations including Mrs. E's, the Market and the Underground are usually present. Golledge said the combined attendance at these events last year was around 5,000 students.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Caroline Glocker Downers, a freshman from Downers Grove, Ill., said she would attend an event like Taste of KU Dining for students.
"I would most likely go to an event that offered sample different food options," Glocker said.

Oil pipeline opponents plan concert in cornfield

NELIGH, Neb. — Willie Nelson and Neil Young will headline a concert next month in a Nebraska cornfield organized by opponents of a proposed pipeline that would carry oil from Canada south to the Gulf Coast.
Bold Nebraska said Monday the concert will be held Sept. 27 on a farm near Neligh in northeast Nebraska. Tickets go on sale Wednesday.
Pipeline critics hope the project will be rejected because they fear it could contaminate groundwater and contribute to pollution.
Earlier this year, protesters carved an anti-pipeline message into the cornfield, which is in the path of TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline.
TransCanada has said the
pipeline will have upgraded safety measures and should be allowed. The company has already built and is operating the southern leg of the pipeline between Oklahoma and Texas.

Story of De La Salle High School's team becomes film
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
DE LA SALSA 66 76 66
Now and then, Hollywood magic results from something decidedly non-glamorous — like a guy reading a book on a pile of smelly football shoulder pads.
It helps, of course, if the guy is David Zelon, a producer and executive vice president at Mandalay Entertainment Group. Back in 2009, the devoted football dad was straightening up the equipment room at his son's high school in Santa Monica, CALIF., when he came across a copy of "When the Game Stands Tall," the famed story of Concord, Calif.'s De La Salle High School Spartans and their 151-game winning streak under the guidance of coach Bob Ladouceur.
MANDALAY PICTURES
It was the first Zelon had heard the tale, though the book — written by former Contra Costa Times columnist Neil Hayes — was originally published in 2003. But once Zelon cracked it open, he caught the whiff of a potential film.
"I settled right in on that pile of sweaty shoulder pads and started reading — I was hooked," he said in a recent phone interview. "The thing was, I'd never seen this kind of approach to a team anywhere. Ladouceur wasn't about winning. No yelling and slamming clipboards down. He was about developing these boys into great young men. So I thought, let's show everybody how they did it."
BUMP AND RUN
It goes back to Hayes' and Larson's days at the Contra Costa Times in the mid-90s covering De La Salle, a private Catholic school for boys known for its powerhouse football program, which draws talented athletes from around the East Bay. The team, coaches and players alike, had no interest in excessive publicity early on, and it took some serious coaxing — first from Larson, and later from Hayes — to get behind the scenes midway through the 151-gamer that ran from 1992 to 2004.
And just as the stars aligned in the making of De La Salle's record-breaking team, kismet also played a part in the story's path from real life to feature film an effort which at times felt futile.
We'll all be hearing a lot about "When the Game Stands Tall" as the movie adaptation opens nationwide Aug. 22. And while the production is Hollywood all the way — and filmed in New Orleans of all places, thanks to financial incentives — its roots run deep in California's East Bay. Not only with the team itself and the book's author, but also with former Contra Costa Times photographer Bob Larson, whose photos in the book were used as the inspiration for key scenes.
"Even though I'd gone on to cover other sports and NFL and stuff, I kept going back to De La Salle. My instincts were screaming. "This is a great story," said Hayes. "I finally pestered (Ladouceur) enough where he told me the only way I could find out what goes on if I showed up every day for a year. I took that as an opening, and I did it. I had unbelievable access."
In a matter of months, Hayes had written the manuscript, accompanied by Larson's striking photos, but then he hit a wall — getting it published. "The bigger publishing houses all said the same thing: too regional," Hayes said. He had nearly given up when North Atlantic Books in Berkeley, a tiny press better known for fitness guides and cook-books, took it on.
The book sold well enough for its niche, but soon there would be more to the story. This first edition followed the team only through the still-undefeated 2002 season.
"Then the 2004 season started, and all the tragedies happened — the coach's heart attack, (star linebacker and University of Oregon-bound) Terrance Kelly was shot and killed in Richmond," Hayes said. "And the streak finally ended that September. The Spartans finally lost."
He updated the story with an epilogue for a paperback version, with both editions selling in total about 60,000 copies. Hayes was approached by a few independent movie producers, but nothing panned out — until the day Zelon sat down to read.
Indeed, once Zelon — producer of "Soul Surfer" and "Never Back Down"
"He called me, and we met at the Rose Cafe in Venice," Hayes remembered. "He said he loved the book but didn't know what would drive the dramatic arc. I looked at him funny and said, 'Um, did you read the hard copy or the paperback?"
— learned of the epilogue, "trumpets started playing in the background and the sun came up," Zelon said, laughing.
ALL IN THE DETAILS
Hayes would go on to work closely on the first draft of the script with the studio's creative team, through dozens of revisions. And Larson, who is now a freelance photographer, began getting calls from the studio to send them photos so they could study the details.
"I'd get calls almost daily, 'Can you send us these pictures, we want to look at them for sets and helmets and background and costumes,'" Larson said. "They were very specific. 'The coach is wearing a gold lanyard in this photo. Was it always gold, or sometimes green?' It really tells you how detailed they got."
Several of Larson's images are used in the movie during the end credits, he said, notably a poignant shot of two players reassuring each other by holding hands during a crucial point in a game, with Terrance Kelly seen in the background. "It's the last image you'll see before the screen goes black," he said.
Hayes was on the set every day during the April-June 2013 filming in New Orleans — a location chosen strictly for budgetary reasons, he said. "I didn't have a clue what to expect," he said. "It was surreal. Kind of a blur to be honest with you, to see these big actors playing people I know."
Jim Caviezel stars as Ladouceur, Laura Dern plays his wife, Bev, and Michael Chikilis portrays assistant coach Terry Eidson.

COZART FOR QUARTERBACK
Sophomore starter hopes to turn team around after successful freshman season
SHANE JACKSON
@independent2
@jacksonshane3
Over the past six years, the Kansas Jayhawks have started six different quarterbacks. This year, Coach Charlie Weis will hand the reins to sophomore Montell Cozart, who will start in the season opener against Southeast Missouri State on Sept. 6.
Besides Cozart, quarterbacks from previous years include Todd Reesing, Kale Pick, Jordan Webb, Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps. But what Cozart has — that most of his predecessors didn't — is experience in a Kansas uniform.
"Having the experiences he had last year really helped. His success against
Virginia, his struggles in other games — he's not the new guy anymore. He's been out there," said quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus. "It is nice working with a guy that's not all new for him, like we have in the past."
The 18-year-old freshman out of nearby Bishop Miege High School had his redshirt ripped off in mid-October last season when he saw his first collegiate action against the Oklahoma Sooners. His first start for Kansas came against West Virginia, where he led the Jayhawks to their second conference victory in 42 games.
During his first year, Cozart played in seven games, starting in three of them despite Heaps being the incumbent starter
early in the year.
Entering his third, and perhaps most crucial year, Weis has decided to veer away from the transfer quarterback experiment. With the help of a new offensive coordinator, Weis pins his offensive hopes on a kid who has yet to complete a touchdown pass in his collegiate career and completed a mere 36.5 percent of his passes.
But for Cozart, who just turned 19 on day four of camp, being thrown into the starting quarterback role is nothing new.
For as long as he can remember, Cozart has been a basketball guy. He preferred playing pickup games on the court with his friends rather than tossing around a football.
In fact, as a freshman in high school, Cozart only played basketball. As a sophomore, Cozart played mostly cornerback at the varsity level and spots at quarterback in garbage time.
"CC
"One of the reasons why I chose Kansas is because I wanted to be a hometown hero that you hear about ..."
MONTELL COZART
Quarterback
But his third year in high school, he was thrown in the starting role and asked to be a leader, a role he finds himself in once again.
Naturally, Cozart found
a way to thrive in even the toughest circumstance. He led Bishop Miege to the Kansas Class 5A state championship game in 2012, throwing for 2,759 yards and 25 touchdowns. On the hardwood, he averaged 18 points per game and was named first team all-conference.
But eventually, Cozart swapped his high school basketball shorts for a crimson and blue football jersey in hopes of turning the program around.
"One of the reasons why I chose Kansas is because I wanted to be a hometown hero that you hear about, and put Kansas football back on the map, and hopefully we can do that this year," Cozart said.
The last time Kansas was
remotely near the map was six years ago, behind Reesing, a player Cozart has awed over in the film room.
"I have watched a lot of film on him, I think we are similar because we both put pressure on defenses, because we are both 'dual-threat', keeping defenses on their heels." Cozart said. "The game I remember the most is when KU played MU at Arrowhead and the weather conditions were terrible, and Reesing was just making plays. He was a great one to watch."
Kansas' quarterback situation has been a revolving door since the days of Reesing, but even at 19 years old, Cozart might just be the guy to fix it.

The Kansas running back corps has suffered two major injuries in the last two days.

and talked through their options and was happy that they chose to further their education, while attempting to play again next year if things work out."
DeAndre Mann and Corey Avery are the remaining running backs on the roster. Mann is a junior-college transfer and Avery is a freshman; both have not played in an official Kansas game. Freshman Joe Dineen, Jr. has changed positions from safety to running back for added depth.
According to the news release, the team will look at filing a sixth-year clock extension for the pair. Both Bourbon and Cox have already redshirted at Kansas.
Mann comes to Kansas from Hartnell College in central California, where he rushed for 1,706 yards last season. His yardage led all junior college players in California.
Avery, from Carter High School in Dallas, chose Kansas over football powerhouses Texas and Nebraska. He scored 22 total touchdowns while playing both running back and wide receiver.

Defense confident in seniors' experience
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
There is a new sense of optimism and urgency surrounding the Kansas defense.
There is optimism the whole unit will improve from last year. Last year's defense gave up 382 points, or 31.8 points per game and 432.6 yards per game, which ranked among the Big 12's worst.
"It's all or nothing right now," senior linebacker Ben Heeney said. "This is my last opportunity to leave an impact on this program."
Heeney, who was named to the 2014 Preseason All-Big 12 team, is one of nine returning defensive starters. His fellow seniors include cornerbacks jaCorey Shepherd and Dexter McDonald, who were All-Big 12 Honorable Mentions at the end of last season.
The urgency comes from the pressure to break through and finally succeed in the last season for many of the key players.
"I can tell, it's night and day compared to previous
As with many experienced teams at the beginning of the season, Heeney said the coaching staff has preached the importance of leadership.
years," Heeney said. "Like I said, the leadership that we have with all the seniors and upperclassmen on this team is just a lot better."
Most of the experience comes in the secondary and linebacking core. Coach Charlie Weis has said the defensive line is the biggest concern because of the relative inexperience of that group. However, senior Keon Stowers, one of last season's captains, will anchor the line at nose tackle.
"Like I said, the leadership that we have with all the seniors and upperclassmen on this team is just a lot better."
BEN HEENEY
Senior linebacker
Another point of experience for the jayhawks is the return of their junior-college transfers. Weis made his mark on the team in the past two seasons by bringing in a capable group of JUCO transfers.
"After we got in the program, we knew there would be risk-
reward when we went with a high volume of junior college players the next year," Weis said. "But because we did that, even with the guys that aren't here anymore, the foundation of our team has all played."
One of those junior-college transfers ready for his second year is senior safety Cassius Sendish. He was a highly touted signee last year, and is now considered a leader in the secondary.
"The comfort level has definitely improved," Sendish said. "Anybody would say a year in the system is good under their belt. Just knowing what the coaches are expecting, what type of things we're trying to accomplish in the defense we're running, it feels good."
The Jayhawks return their top three tacklers. Heeney recorded 88, junior safety Isaiah Johnson had 73 and Sendish had 68. It will be the last time for many of these players to be successful together.
"If we don't succeed now, we're not really going to." Heeney said. "I think we have a lot more pressure."

BULLFIGHTING
Protester hospitalized during hunger strike
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOGOTA, Colombia — Two years after Bogota's leftist mayor suspended bullfights at the capital's history-steeped bullring, a clutch of apprentice matadors is pressing for their reinstalment with a hunger strike.
The two-week-old protest outside the classically styled arena, La Santamaria Plaza, comes as the country's Constitutional Court is expected to rule on a legal attempt to force Mayor Gustavo Petro to allow the blood sport to resume in the city-owned venue.
One of the eight novices, weakened from the liquid-only diet, had to be hospitalized last week, said a
comrade, 19-year-old Diego Torres. Torres said late Sunday that he and another hunger striker also might need to be hospitalized shortly. But that would not halt the strike, he said.
anti-corruption senator, Petro annulled the contract of the Corporacion Taurina de Bogota, which organizes bullfights, after the January-February 2012 season. The company says it has the right to hold bullfights there at least through March 2015.
Soon after his election in late 2011, Petro announced that La Santamaria would no longer host the ceremonious slaughter of bulls but be devoted exclusively to non-violent entertainment. It has long served as a concert and theater venue.
"The man has marginalized us," complained Torres. "Here, everyone looks at us like we're the scum of the earth." The apprentices have also lost income. Each earns a bit more than $330 per fight.
Few countries remain bullfighting-friendly. It remains popular in Spain, though it is no longer televised there, while the Spanish region of Catalonia banned it and neighboring Portugal only allows bloodless fights.
In the Americas, traditional bullfights remain seasonal fare in Mexico, Venezuela, Peru and Colombia Ecuador banned them in May 2011 only permitting the nonfatal variety.

Strong returning starters jumpstart season success
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhmannUDK
With a 3-0 victory against South Dakota State last week, the women's soccer team has already displayed its desire for success this year.
The group certainly has the ingredients: a strong returning core, a head coach three games away from his 200th career win and a prediction from the coaches poll that the team will finish sixth in the league.
The Jayhawks will return close to 70 percent of their scoring to the team with nine of 11 starters from last season, including the team's top four scorers: Liana Salazar, Jamie Fletcher, Ashley Williams and Courtney Dickerson.
Also returning to the team
are 16 letterwinners from last season. This experienced group will welcome eight freshmen, eager to make their mark in crimson and blue. The class will contribute two more international players in Lois Heuchan (Scotland) and Eli Mayr (Germany).
With this group, coach Mark Francis will likely earn the three victories he needs for his 200th win. Averaging around 11 wins a season as Kansas' coach, his 197 career wins take second place among current conference coaches. He has led the program to its 10th season being ranked among the top six teams in preseason voting.
Despite the expectation for conference play to be tough, the team has set its sights on
the Big 12 Championship tournament for the second consecutive year.
The team also has a new home this season at Rock Chalk Park, a new sports complex that is a major upgrade from its previous accommodations.
The program had waited 15 years for the new facility to be built, and the dream became a reality in spring. The complex will include state-of-the-art stadiums for softball, track and field and soccer.
The Jayhawks look to improve their record, as they will take the field for their first game at Rock Chalk Park on Aug. 22 at 7 p.m. against Wyoming University.

Jayhawks hope to continue last season's success
Kansas comes off historic season with confidence
MADELINE MALONEY
@madmaloneyUDK
The women's golf team is set to tee up for another successful season. Riding high on the success of last year's historic season at the NCAA tournament, where the team ranked 24th, the Jayhawks are ready for another deep run in the postseason.
Coach Erin O'Neil said the team had really good chemistry last year and everything just clicked. Her team worked hard on the golf course, in the weight room and in the classroom to make it one of the best seasons in the school's history.
"Last year was a tremendous accomplishment and it certainly helps our confidence going into this year," O'Neil said. "Even though we didn't
nnish as high as we would have liked to at that tournament. I know we learned a lot and we will use that to make us that much better this year. The girls are really excited to get back to work and make it back there again."

O'Neil said that the

transition from last year's success to the expectations of a new year will be a difficult adjustment for the team.
"Once you go to NCAA
then obviously the bar in your head gets higher, so that is something we will have to adjust to," O'Neil said. "We will have to embrace that mentality and wrap our arms around it and be good with it and not be scared of it."
With seven returning players and three new additions to the team, O'Neil said that they have a lot of experience going into this season.
"With recruiting we have been hearing from better and better players," O'Neil said. "They have a lot of experience, they are good kids, hard workers, good
students and just all around good additions to the team." O'Neil said she believes the team will be highly successful this year. Three of the returning players have played
at regionals and nationals. Along with them, there are two seniors who have been working on their game and will definitely contribute, O'Neil said.
O'Neil said the team is ready for its first tournament. The Jayhawks will take on Alvamar Golf Club in Lawrence on Sept. 8 and 9 for the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational.
"It is awesome to play at home," O'Neil said. "You are very familiar with the course. It is a definite advantage because the greens at Alvamar can be a little tricky. It is nice to play at home the first tournament to get some confidence going again and then head out on to the road those next two weekends."

High-ranked recruits replenish Kansas' court
MATTHEW CORTE
news@kansan.com
Losing seven seniors and the most successful class in Jayhawks history may have been a burden for Coach Ray Bechard in past years, but not this time around.
Like Bill Self and basketball, Kansas volleyball is coming back every season with high-ranked recruits, and other coaches are starting to take notice. Although Kansas lost multiple start ing seniors, coaches in the Big 12 still selected the team to finish second in the preseason poll after a program best second-place finish last season. The Jayhawks also received praise by being ranked No. 22 in the national poll, the second consecutive year they've started in the preseason top 25.
There are several reasons for this preseason recognition, including the country's No. 15-ranked recruiting class and prized recruit Ainise Havili, ranked No. 39 by PrepVolleyball.com. More responsible for this high preseason ranking are the only two seniors on the roster, outside hitters Chelsea Albers and Sara McClinton. Both players were named to the Big 12 All-Preseason Team after earning All-Big 12 First Team
last year. Both played key roles in the Jayhawks making the Sweet 16 last season.
Her departure left a gaping hole in the starting lineup. The two candidates to replace her will be either sophomore Maggie Anderson or Havili, who became the first Kansas freshman to receive the honor of Big 12 Preseason Freshman of the Year.
If Anderson or Havili can make a smooth enough transition and run the offense to its potential, look for Kansas to compete for first place in the Big 12 and make another deep run in the NCAA tournament.
With prestigious accolades and experience to back them, these two seniors hope to lead a young Jayhawk squad on another deep run in the NCAA tournament. Expectations for this 2014 team will be high after the success of last year, but a lot of questions still remain as to how they can replace so many key players, namely Erin McNorton, last season's Big 12 Setter of the Year. Like a quarterback in football, the setter runs the whole offense, calling plays and controlling the tempo as she sees fit. McNorton did this as well as anyone in the country.
Edited by Madison Schultz
McClinton had an incredible 2013 season, finishing with the second most kills on the team at 354, helping her earn First Team All-Big 12 for the second consecutive year. She is just 45 kills away from a career 1,000.
SARA MCCLINTON, SENIOR OUTSIDE HITTER
PLAYERS TO WATCH:
CHELSEA ALBERS, SENIOR OUTSIDE HITTER
Albers was the jack of all trades on last year's team, finishing with 339 kills, 293 digs and 110 blocks, making her the first Jayhawk to put up those stats since 1993. Albers was honored with an All-Big 12 First Team selection.
Kansas Volleyball will host its annual Crimson and Blue intrasquad match Saturday at 1 p.m. inside of Horejsi Family Athletic Center, and it's also free for anyone to attend. The team begins the regular season by hosting Utah Valley, Lipscomb and Creighton at this year's Kansas Invitational on Aug. 29 and 30. Look for the young Jayhawks to be tested often at this tournament, especially against Creighton as the Bluejays rank just one spot behind Kansas in the national poll.
MEN'S GOLF
UPCOMING SCHEDULE
Players excel during offseason tournaments
CONNOR OBERKROM
@coberkro
The Kansas men's golf team returns all but two players from last year's roster after finishing eighth out of nine teams in the Big 12 conference.
Headlining this year's team is sophomore Chase Hanna and juniors Ben Welle and Connor Peck. Senior Logan Philley rounds out the top of the team.
Hanna led the team with the lowest average individual round score at 73.24. Hanna is coming off a summer in which he qualified for the U.S. Amateur Public Links championship. He failed to make the cut however, after shooting a 73 and 78 totaling 9-over.
Welle had the top individual performances for the Jayhawks in three out of 11 tournaments last season, while Hanna had the best
performance seven times.
Other jayhawks with notable summers playing in offseason tournaments include redshirt senior Bryce Brown, redshirt freshman Brock Drogosch and sophomore Jacques Wilson.
Brown qualified for the Nebraska Match Play Championship on June 23. The tournament culminated in a title victory for Brown, winning six matches en route to the 47th Nebraska Match Play Championship.
Drogosch shot a 67-66 133 to qualify for the U.S. Amateur. Fellow teammate and incoming freshman Daniel Hudson shot a two round 141 at Hidden Glen Golf Club to also qualify for the U.S. Amateur. Once they got there, Hudson missed the cut by two strokes while Drogosch missed the cut by 10 strokes.
Wilson won the 2014 Resorters Golf Tournament
in Alexandria, Minn., in early August. Wilson won four matches to reach the final, where he prevailed by one-stroke.
Kansas' men's golf coach Jamie Bermel is entering his third season as the coach and is looking for a finish better than eighth this time around.
The Jayhawks begin the season at the Wolverine Intercollegiate Tournament, which spans from Sept. 6 to Sept. 7 in Ann Arbor, Mich. They will play a total of six tournaments in the fall and four in the spring, excluding the Big 12 Tournament.
Kansas returns four of its top five scorers last year and will feature a young core with four incoming freshman. Spencer Paiton, Gary Daoust, Daniel Hudson and redshirt Brock Drogosch will constitute the new faces of the team.

COMMENTARY Club sports have busy fall schedule
By GJ Melia
sports@kansan.com
W with the fall semester beginning.
football and a few other sports will take center stage in Lawrence. These NCAA- sanctioned athletics usually get most of the attention around campus, but the fall is also a busy time for club sports.
A few of these club teams are swimming, rock climbing, quidditch and women's soccer. Each of these clubs have their own goals, and ways in which they will look to have a successful fall season.
"Our goal is not necessarily to build a fast team, our goal is to provide an environment where people can make friends, where people can promote a healthy lifestyle through exercise," said Matt Josephson, a third-year graduate student and the president of the swimming
club. "We have different goals than an NCAA team might have."
The team will hold its first meeting on September 2 at 6:30 p.m. in Robinson Gym. Following that meeting, the team will practice three times a week. The fall semester begins with its first meet on Oct. 4 in Dallas. The team will then travel to the University of Colorado on Oct. 25 and the University of Missouri on November 8 before ending the season with a home meet here in Lawrence on Nov. 22.
The quidditch team will look to continue to improve as it should be ranked in the top 15 of the country, according to junior keepers Wil Kenney and Seth Berkbuegler. There will be a "Learn to Play Quidditch" day on Aug. 29 at 5 p.m., and tryouts take Sept. 2, 3, 5, 8 and 9 at 6 p.m.
"First semester is really about improvement and getting people together and playing together consistently, whereas second semester is about preparing for the World Cup," Kenney said.
The Kansas Cup competition will be the highlight of the fall season and will be on Oct.4 at 8 a.m.The team won four out of six games and placed second in last year's Kansas Cup, behind Arkansas, which went a perfect 6-0.
The women's club soccer team will have a new coach this year, Mike Sheldon, and tryouts will be Sept. 1, 3 and 5 from 5-7 p.m. The team will be looking to replace about 10 players from last year's squad.
The team will take the field for the first time on Sept. 12 when they travel to Manhattan to face the Wildcats in the first game of the Kansas/Missouri Soccer League (KSML) season.
For rock climbing, there are no set events until the spring season, but the fall is an important time to learn about rock climbing and get more experience as a climber.
“[The rock climbing club is] all about learning and teaching,” sophomore Luke Huttner said. “But really it's just about people getting prepared to climb outdoors and make it a life-long sport. It's not one of those high-impact things that you can only do for a few years, so basically we are trying to teach everybody how you can be safe and go climb for a long, long time.”
The club had about 60 members last year, and is hoping to expand this year. The club has open climbing hours on the rock wall at Ambler Student Recreational Center from 8:30-10:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Kratz, Vargas lead Royals over Twins 6-4
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS — Erik Kratz homered twice after replacing an alling Salvador Perez, and Jason Vargas pitched seven strong innings to lead the first-place Kansas City Royals to a 6-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night.
Trevor May (0-2) gave up three runs on seven hits and walked four in 4 2-3 innings for the Twins.
Vargas (10-5) allowed one run on four this and struck out three, but had his scoreless innings streak snapped at 17 when Oswaldo Arcia hit a solo homer in the seventh. Perez had two hits and two RBIs before leaving in the seventh because of discomfort in his right knee, helping the Royals win for the 21st time in 26 games.
Kansas City extended its lead over the idle Detroit Tigers in the AL Central to two games.
field for a 4-0 lead. He added a solo shot to center in the ninth for his first multihomer game.
When Perez left, Kratz came in as a pinch hitter and drove a pitch just over the wall in left
Trevor Plouffe hit a three-run homer off Aaron Crow in the ninth inning, but Greg Holland came on for his 38th save in 40 tries. Josh Willingham had three hits and Alex Gordon and Billy Butler each had two for the Royals, who have won eight straight series for the first time since 1991.
May made his major league debut on Aug. 9, and it was a rough one. He walked seven batters in two innings and gave up four runs. He breezed through four innings of his home debut, but walked the bases loaded in the fifth.
Perez followed with a two-run single and Butler added an RBL single to give the Royals a 3-0 lead.
That was enough for Vargas, who has dominated the Twins this season. He retired 10 in a row from the second through sixth while his offense built him a cushion.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Royals: Perez is day to day with a sore knee.
Twins: Byron Buxton, one of the top prospects in baseball, flew to Fort Myers, Florida, to begin his recovery after a nasty outfield collision at Double-A New Britain. GM Terry Ryan said Buxton had a stiff neck and some headaches, but nothing more serious. Ryan said he doubts Buxton will play again this season.
"We're all fortunate it ended up the way it ended up," Ryan said. "We've seen collisions in our day, but that one ranked right up there."
UP NEXT
The Royals open a two-game interleague series in Colorado. RHP James Shields (11-6, 3.29 ERA) starts the opener against HP Tyler Matzek (2-8, 5.50).
The Twins stay home for a three-game series against Cleveland. RHP Kyle Gibson (11-9, 3.96) starts the opener against RHP Trevor Bauer (4-7, 4.35).

Get to know Kansas' roster from the inside out
BLAIR SHEADE
@realblairsheade
DEFENSE
SECONDARY
Seniors Dexter McDonald And JaCorey Shepherd are both returning cornerbacks, and senior free safety Cassius Sendish is the voice of the entire secondary because he's a natural leader. Weis said. The lone junior in the
secondary is strong safety Isaiah Johnson. Johnson is a returning starter, 2014 Big 12 defensive newcomers of the year and 2014 Big 12 honorable mention. Johnson led the Jayhawks last season with five interceptions. Due to the amount of passing the Big 12 conference does, the Jayhawks will be forced to play a nickel back for the majority of games. As of the moment, sophomore
Greg Allen will be the starter, but Weis said that Kevin Short has played well in the summer and could see playing time at the nickel.
LINEBACKERS
This position has the most upside among any defensive positions because of the talent and experience it brings to the field. Senior Ben Heeney is the leader of the linebacker core,
and he's reached numerous watch lists including the Bednarik watch list, which is the award for college's best linebacker. Junior Jake Love, who started eight games last season, will be playing alongside Heeney as the will linebacker. Senior Michael Reynolds led the Jayhawks with 6.5 sacks last season, and he will return to the buck (outside) linebacker this season.
DEFENSIVE LINE
There are still a lot of questions along the defensive front. Who will start at the two defensive end? Right now juniors Ben Goodman and Andrew Bolton have those spots locked up, but that can change. Goodman will be the returning starter, and he was second on the Kansas team with three sacks in 2013. On the other hand, Bolton
hasn't proven anything while he redshirted last season after joining Kansas from junior college. Watch out for junior T.J. Semke to challenge Bolton for playing time, and maybe to start. The rock of the defensive line has to be senior and two-year starter Keon Stowers. The whole Kansas team voted Stowers one of the permanent team captains.

OFFENSE:
QUARTERBACK
The Jayhawks will have a new quarterback under center this season. Sophomore Montell Cozart, who is their third quarterback in the last three years, won the starting job after the spring game. Senior wide receiver Nick Harwell said Cozart has shown great leadership, especially for a true sophomore. Weis said that he's glad Cozart played the last three games last season because it has helped him grow as a leader and a player.
RUNNING BACK
The current starting running back is senior Brandon Bourbon, but the two former junior college running backs, senior Taylor Cox and junior DeAndre Mann, will hold the backfield this season, as well. Mann has the best chance to become the starting running back because Charlie Weis said Mann didn't come to the University to sit on the bench and he'll get his chance to become the starter.
OFFENSE
TIGHT END
Kansas has its first Mackey Award (college best tight end) watch list tight end in Jimmay Mundine, but the senior tight end, who led the Jayhawks with five touchdown receptions last season, could miss the opening week as he will be recovering from a minor knee surgery. If Mundine does miss game time, senior Trent Smiley, who competed with Mundine for the starting spot last season, will get his shot as the starter. Smiley started two games last season, but caught only two balls for 21 yards.
WIDE RECEIVERS
This position went from the weakest to the strongest since the start of the summer. Senior Nick Harwell, who sat out last season after transferring from Miami-Ohio, will start in the slot. Harwell has been named to the Bletnikoff Award watch list, and he says he wants to become the first KANSAS receiver since Kerry Meier to catch more than 80 balls. Senior Justin McCay will start at wide receiver and Tony Pierson will be the other starting receiver split out wide. Weis said that McCay barely beat out junior
Rodriguez Coleman this summer, and Weis said that Pierson has become a solid receiver after converting from running back. Behind Pierson on the depth is Nigel King, who transferred from Maryland this summer after graduating. King is 6-foot-3, which gives the Jayhawks more size on the outside.
OFFENSIVE LINE
The linemen are the most experienced position on the offensive side. The offensive line is returning left tackle Pat Lewandowski, left guard Ngalu
Fusimalohi, right guard Mike Smithburg and right tackle Damon Martin. Fusimalohi is the only lineman to gain recognition this offseason as he's placed on the Polynesian player of the year watch list. Junior Keyon Haughton, a junior college recruit, is the current starting center, but freshman Jacob Bragg could end up there when the dust is settled. Bragg is a former Under Armour All-American center, and Weis said he has potential to start as a true freshman.

Inbee Park wins second straight championship
KB REME Panasonic
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Inbee Park reacts after she pars the 18th hole to win the Wegmans LPGA golf championship in Pitford, N.Y., Aug. 17. Park successfully defended her title in the LPGA Championship, beating Brittany Lincicome with a par on the first hole of a playoff Sunday to end the United States' major streak at three.
With fireworks reverberating all around as the LPGA Tour marked the end of an era, Inbee Park soaked in the moment.
"It definitely feels (like) a big honor to actually put my name on the trophy twice," Park said Sunday night after winning the LPGA Championship in a playoff for the second straight time. "Just very happy to be part of history."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Park beat Brittany Linicicome with a par on the first hole of a playoff to end the United States' major streak at three.
"I didn't feel that nervous at all today," Park said. "But once I got to the tee on the playoff hole, I just felt the nerves right away. It was like a replay of last year and experience definitely helped me out. I think I was able to stay calm."
Calm under the intense pressure of a playoff at a major, Park added another title to her impressive resume as the tour bade farewell to the Rochester area after 38 years. Next year, the tour will team with the PGA of America to run the Women's PGA Championship at Westchester Country Club outside New York City.
Lincicome was poised to win her second major and keep that American streak alive, but her nerves got the best of her after she led all day.
"Not being in this position for a while, I think it all caught up with me," Lincicome said. "Being second at a major is always a good thing. I feel like I played really, really well this week. If I keep playing the way I did, my time's coming soon. It was nice to be in contention again."
On the playoff hole on Monroe Golf Club's par-4 18th, Park hit her second shot into the rough behind the hole. Lincicome hit her approach to the left fringe, nearly identical to her position on the final hole of regulation when she made a bogey to fall into the playoff.
Lincicome chipped 6 feet past the hole and failed to convert. Park, the winner last year at Locust Hill Country Club in a playoff with Catriona Matthew that took three holes, chipped to 3 feet and calmly sank her par putt for her fifth major title and fourth in the last two seasons.
"Inbee is so darn good. It was so close," Lincicome said. "I need to learn how to control the nerves a little bit more."
Park finished with a 2-under 70 to match Lincicome at 11-under 276. Lincicome had a 71.
Americans had won the first three majors of the LPGA Tour season for the first time since 1999. Lexi Thompson began
the run at Kraft Nabisco, Michelle Wie won the U.S. Women's Open and Mo Martin the Women's British Open.
The 26-year-old Park, from South Korea, was coming off a playoff loss to Mirim Lee last week in Michigan. Park also won this season in Canada and has 11 LPGA Tour victories.
"I've been in many playoffs," said Park, who joined Nancy Lopez and Patty Sheehan as the only players to win twice in a row at Rochester. "It's not something I look forward to doing because there's so much pressure. I feel lucky I got an opportunity today."
Park is projected to jump from third to second in the world, passing 17-year-old Lydia Ko of New Zealand. Ko, trying to become the youngest major winner in LPGA history, shot a 70 to finish third at 8 under.
Spain's Azahara Munoz (70) and Sweden's Anna Nordqvist (71) tied for fourth at 6 under.
Lincicome squandered the lead on the final hole of regulation. She hit her second shot to the left fringe and was in a good spot, but a long delay for a ruling on a shot by Suzann Pettersen only heightened the tension, and it showed.
With top-ranked Stacy Lewis among the gallery clapping, Lincicome left her first putt 8 feet short and failed to make par, forcing the playoff.
"I was really nervous coming down the stretch. I was shaking like a leaf." Lincicome said. "It's hard to do anything when you're shaking."
Pettersen, a two-time major winner, started the day a shot behind as she chased her first win this year. But her day went badly at the start and she shot 4-over 76. She tied for sixth at 5 under with Lewis, Julieta Granada, Shanshan Feng and Lee.
Park's clutch birdie putt at No. 17 put her in position to challenge and her par save at 18 was crucial. Her approach on the closing hole landed in the rough to the right of the green and she botched her shot out. Her 12-foot putt left no margin for error and the crowd roared when it rolled in
Lincicome had held the 54-hole lead at a major only once before, at the 2006 U.S. Women's Open, but she faltered with a closing 78 and finished seventh. This time, she shook off the nerves until the end as the chance to win her second major ended in disappointment. Lincicome won the 2009 Kraft Nabisco.
The tour made the switch this year to Monroe after 37 years at nearby Locust Hill. The Donald Ross-designed course is about 300 yards longer at 6,717 yards and does not have a single water hazard, but it does feature 106 bunkers, more than double the number at Locust Hill, and the wider fairways favor long hitters just not enough in the end.
Tournament officials estimated 25,000 people attended the final round and 100,000 for the four days.

Fan Appreciation Day brings out Kansas faithful

Kansas mascot Baby Jay hangs out with a young fan at Fan Appreciation Day on Saturday. Fans were able to catch a glimpse of the football team.
On a warm, sun-splashed Saturday afternoon, just three weeks before opening kickoff, the Kansas football team took the field for practice at Memorial Stadium in front of some of its most loyal fans. Fan Appreciation Day 2014 on Saturday marked the final opportunity for fans to catch a glimpse of this year's team before the start of the season, and many took full advantage.
Among them was 4-year-old Liam Hoff, joined by his father, Brad Hoff, from Topeka.
Coach's Corner season ticket holders for the past three years, the Hoffs haven't seen many Kansas victories — just six to be exact. But the Hoffs are not discouraged and instead are excited by the team's talent this year. Especially a certain mainstay on the offense.
Tony Pierson, the senior running back and wide receiver from East St. Louis will be playing his fourth and final season for the Jayhawks. And Liam is correct: Pierson is fast.
"Tony!" Liam said when asked who his favorite lavkawk was. "He's fast."
"Tony is faster than (NFL player) Dexter (McCluster) by a significant, significant margin." Coach Charlie Weis said in April 2013. "Tony's in that 4.3 (40-yard-dash) range where Dexter is that 4.5 guy. Two-tenths, that's significant."
scanning the field for his hero. "Oh, there he is! Tony!"
This year, Pierson will serve
As tough as things have been for Jayhawk enthusiasts lately. Pierson has been a bright spot. Always a threat to take it the distance, Pierson has averaged over 5.6 yards per carry in each of the past three seasons, including a 6.8 average last year before his head injuries flared up.
"We're hopeful. We believe they are going to do all right."
"Where is he?" Liam aske

mostly as a receiver, where he transitioned nicely last fall. His potential, illustrated best by his 77-yard touchdown reception against the Rice Owls on September 14, gives fans, young and old, hope.
After the practice, the Hoffs and the rest of the Jayhawk fans met their favorite
players for a few words and autographs. Liam met Tony and got a picture with him.
"We're hopeful," Brad Hoff, a Public Administration alum from the University of Kansas, said of the 2014 Jayhawks. "We believe they are going to do all right."

White transfers to Nebraska after limited playing time
CONNOR OBERKROM
DAN HARMSEN
sports@kansan.com
Former Kansas shooting guard Andrew White III has announced his plans to transfer to Nebraska.
White will have to sit out one season and then will receive two years of eligibility. Once a coveted top-50 recruit, White saw his playing time diminish last season with the likes of Brannen Greene and Conner Frankamp coming off the bench.
Playing 25 games his freshman year, White saw just 18 games his sophomore and failed to crack the regular rotation. He averaged just 2.4 points in 6.3 minutes last year for Kansas. White tallied 43 total games and 100 points in his two-year career at Kansas. His career high in points came against Belmont in his first year in which he amassed 15 points. A threat from long-range, most of White's points came from beyond the arc.
White's biggest moment likely came in his first season with the Jayhawks when White came in for Elijah Johnson against Oklahoma State in the second half. White provided six points, notching one 3-pointer and a few free throws down the stretch of a tight game when Marcus Smart eventually upset the Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse.
In a statement released by the school in May, White summed up his reasoning why he decided to cut ties with the school. "I spoke with
my family and the coaches several times throughout the spring and after the season ended, discussing what my expected role would be on the team." White said in the release. "Coach Self told me it would be questionable to break into the rotation. My family and I decided it would be the best choice to move on and explore other school options."
The 6-foot-6 wing chose the Cornhuskers over Maryland and Notre Dame.
White leaves a program that is well established as one of the best in the country and joins another that is trying to get its footing. Last season, the Cornhuskers made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1998, and now with White, and juniors Terran Petteway and Shavon Shields returning, Nebraska will look for its first regular season championship since 1950.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What NFL team drafted Michael Sam, the first openly gay player in the NFL?
A: S. Louis Rams
USA Today
THE MORNING BREW
Michael Sam, Chip Sarafin open door for future gay athletes
Nearly three months have passed since the famous kiss between Michael Sam and his boyfriend was seen on television sets all across the nation. He had just become the first openly gay player to be drafted into the NFL after going in the seventh round to the St. Louis Rams.
And now, Sam is looked at by many as an idol, not only for gay athletes who may still be hiding their secret from the public, but also gay people everywhere. And just last week, another football player has followed in his heroic footsteps.
Edward "Chip" Sarafin, an offensive lineman for the Arizona State Sun Devils, has come out as gay and is the first active collegiate player to come out. And just like Sam, his teammates, who have known about his sexual

orientation since last spring, couldn't be more supportive of the 6-foot-6, 320-pounder from Gilbert, Ariz.
It's not about Sarafin or Sam being a gay athlete or what they do off of the field. It's about their audacity to stand up against discrimination, instead of hiding their true identity in fear of how the public will perceive them. It's about not living a lie anymore and breaking the ground for others to do the same
in the future.
In the wake of Sam and Sarafin's public announcement, expect more athletes to come out as gay. It's only a matter of time before we see more of their candid revelations because more athletes will feel comfortable making the announcement after seeing how the public and teammates have reacted and supported both Sam and Sarafin.
Not only will other athletes follow their courageous act, but also other citizens, too, who may still be struggling with identifying as gay.
Although Sarafin has yet to play in an actual game for the Sun Devils, his courage to be himself and help others break out of their shell is what he will be known for. And, in addition to becoming a model athlete to others, he is actively involved with community

groups that specialize in ending discrimination and bullying in youth sports.
Sam supported Sarafin's bravery via his Twitter account. "Congratulations to
Chip Sarafin for having the courage to be yourself. Wishing you and your teammates much success this season. #courage2014."
All in all, sports need more Michael Sams and Chip Sarafins to become role models for those athletes and citizens who may be living in limbo in deciding whether or not to publicly announce themselves as homosexual.

Nebraska coach Tim Miles said Monday that White would join his program after playing two seasons for the Jayhawks. White had said in May He would leave Kansas to find a program where he could get more playtime. He picked the Cornhuskers over Maryland, Richmond, Notre Dame, Wake Forest, Miami and
The 6-foot-7, 210-pounder from Richmond, Virginia, will have to sit out this season under transfer rules. He'll have two years of eligibility remaining.
White appeared in 19 games last season, averaging 2.3 points and 5.9 minutes. He averaged 2.2 points and 5 minutes in 25 games as a freshman.

Kansas City Chiefs' Alex Smith (11) looks to pass under pressure from Carolina Panthers' Star Lotulelei (98) during the first half of a preseason NFL football game in Charlotte, N.C., Sunday, Aug. 17, 2014.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Newton, Stewart lead Panthers past Chiefs
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If Carolina Panthers Coach Ron Rivera has his way, Cam Newton won't be running as many read-option plays as he has in the past.
Newton made a successful return following ankle surgery, Stewart ran for two touchdowns and the Panthers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 28-16 in a preseason game.
If Jonathan Stewart runs the way he did Sunday night, Newton won't need to.
Newton has been hit more than any quarterback in the NFL over the past three seasons and Rivera has said held like to reduce the wear and tear on his franchise quarterback.
Newton completed 4 of 9 passes for 65 yards and led a pair of touchdown drives before exiting late in the second quarter with Carolina (1-1) up 14-6. Stewart ran for 26 yards on four carries and made a strong case to be the Panthers' goal-line back — if not their primary ball carrier — with scoring runs of 3 and 2 yards.
"If we can run the ball effectively with the backs and not have to rely on him running we would much rather do that," Rivera said.
And that's fine with Newton.
"I'm trying to win football games and if that is saying, 'Cam hand the ball off every play. Cam run the ball down the field 20 yards like a chicken with his head cut off every play. Cam drop back and throw the ball. Cam go get everybody a drink of water.' ... Whatever is asked of me, I will do to try to win the football game," Newton said.
Newton was rusty early.
The Chiefs (1-1) moved the ball well early on without star running back Jamaal Charles, but were forced to settle for
Carolina's first three possessions netted a yard and no first downs. Newton compounded the problem by overthrowing Kelvin Benjamin on a deep ball after the rookie receiver got behind the secondary.
But Stewart replaced DeAngelo Williams and immediately gave the Panthers a boost with a 17-yard carry around left end. The Panthers found their rhythm after that, driving 66 and 50 yards for touchdowns on their next two possessions.
"We had a slow start tonight, which is unacceptable," Newton said. "We have to stay on schedule and not waste opportunities like the shot to Benji. Kansas City's a good football team and we didn't match their intensity early."
Kansas City's Alex Smith
finished 14 of 22 for 127 vards.
Kansas City's search for a reliable No. 2 receiver continues.
a pair of field goals — one of them a 54-yarder by Ryan Succup.
"We did some good things," Smith said. "We moved the ball on a stout defense. We just didn't finish, but self-inflicted things tonight."
Dwayne Bowe, who will miss the first game of the regular season because of an NFL-imposed suspension, had five catches for 62 yards but none of the Chiefs' other wide receivers stood out.
Rookie quarterback Aaron Murray's first NFL pass completion was for a 43-yard touchdown strike to tight end Travis Kelce, but he later threw an interception leading to a Carolina touchdown.
Newton had to shake off some early rust.
He missed on five of his first six passes and was sacked for a 13-yard loss, leading to three straight three-and-outs to start the game.
Carolina benefited from a 32-yard pass interference penalty on Chiefs cornerback Ron Parker that set up Stewart's

PLAYMAKERS WANTED
The Kansan football writers break down what they learned at fall camp
Nigel King. senior wide receiver, works out at the Aug. 11 Kansas football practice
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
By Shane Jackson sports@kansan.com
3 THOUGHTS FROM CAMP
1) This spread offense will make Kansas football fun to watch. I had a chance to watch this new offense a few days against no defense and I have to say it is something to watch out for. This will no doubt work best for Montell Cozart, who will value his speed, but the spread will especially benefit Tony Pierson. Pierson was lined up all over the field in this spread and it should be fun to watch how they use him.
2) This is the best wide receiver core in the Weis-era. Of course I know this isn't saying much since it seems as if Weis picked up students off Jayhawk Boulevard the past two years. When you look at this roster you can actually recognize these names. Seniors Justin McCay, Nick Harwell and Tony Pierson will lead the way. Add in recent senior transfer Nigel King and now this looks to be the strength of the offense.
3) James Sims will be forgotten. That may be going a little overboard, but what I mean is this backfield will still be good. Brandon Bourbon looks to be filling the shoes of the long lost Sims but behind him is a very deep backfield. Senior Taylor Cox and junior transfer DeAndre Mann will see plenty of time on the field this year. Even freshman running back Corey Avery is expected to see some playing time.

After playing his first two years at nearby Fort Scott Community College, Short was redshirted last year at Kansas. During camp he was in a position battle at right corner with JaCorey Shepherd. Even if Short loses the battle, I fully expect him to mix in the secondary this year and have a huge impact on the defensive side of the ball. It's clear from talking with him that Short is a competitor and wants to see the field. He has the ability to make plays and should mix in some time as the kick returner.
2) NIGEL KING
King becoming a Jayhawk happened so fast. The former Maryland Terrapin was listed on the depth chart immediately on report day and looks to add to this already talented unit. He was expected to jump in day one and keep up with guys who had been here all spring. Coaches have raved about his ability to quickly adapt to everything. King possesses the talents and if he continues to understand this new offense, he should see the field immediately.

3 THOUGHTS FROM CAMP
1) There is a lot of improvement in the secondary. The secondary has all four returning starters for the 2014 season including 2014 Big 12 defensive newcomer of the year Isaiah Johnson, who led the Jayhawks with five interceptions. Also, the size of the corners have caught attention as the whole secondary is over 6 foot tall.
2) The Jayhawks only had one player earn All-Big 12 honors last season. That player was senior linebacker Ben Heeney, who was placed on the All-Big 12 second team. Weis said Heeney has taken younger linebacks under his wing such as highly recruited freshman Kyron Watson. Heeney will enter the 2014 season on the Bednarik watch list for the top linebacker in the country.
3) The offensive line brings back four of the five starters, and starting quarterback Montell Cozart said he's comfortable in the pocket with all the size protecting him — four of the five offensive linemen are over 300 pounds. The size of junior Larry Mazyck, who is a 6-foot-8, 360-pound junior college recruit, will help him compete for the starting left tackle job, and push senior lineman Pat Lewandowski, who was the center last season, back to center.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
1) COREY AVERY
The true freshman has been on campus for less than a month, but he's making his name heard. Corey Avery brings a lot of speed on the offensive side of the ball, and offensive coordinator John Reagan said he doesn't know if Avery will play running back or receiver. The Dallas native isn't on the two-deep depth chart, but watch for him to see playing time in the backfield and in the slot this season.
The Kansas backfield has been crowded this summer with a lot of competition. De'Andre Mann, who's a junior college recruit, stepped in this summer and has shown he can compete for the starting role. Mann is third on the depth chart behind seniors Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox, but Weis said Mann didn't come to Kansas to sit on the bench.
2) DE'ANDRE MANN
Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen and Weis said that Cassius Sendish is a natural leader and he's a voice of the defense. This season will be Sendish's second season starting at safety after two years at a junior college.
3) CASSIUS SENDISH

3 THOUGHTS FROM CAMP
1) Montell Cozart is ready to be a leader. He is really confident and composed. The past two seasons, the quarterback position has been somewhat of a mystery, but Cozart's game experience at Kansas last year gives him a great starting point. The 19-year-old from Kansas City, Mo., says he wants to be a "hometown hero."
2) The backfield is a crowded place. Seniors Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox have shown flashes of what they are capable of. Newcomers DeAndre Mann and Corey Avery will compete for time. Ultimately, the offense might settle into running back by committee.
3) John Reagan's new spread offense will not mean the team will become a one-dimensional passing team. Players have said the offense will open up the run game, too. Charlie Weis said the team will not throw 60 or 70 passes a game.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
1) MONTELL COZART
This is probably the most obvious answer, but a big part of the team's success lies on his shoulders. He had accuracy problems last season, which he said he is working on. The offense needs a consistent quarterback.
2) CASSIUS SENDISH
The senior safety returns for his second year after transferring from junior college. He started all of the games last season, including one where he had 12 tackles. He leads an experienced secondary.
The wide receiver who ve recently transferred to Kansas is expected to make a big impact. The whole receiving corps needs to step up from last year.
3) NIGEL KING

3 THOUGHTS FROM CAMP 1) The defensive line is smaller than it was last season, but it could be more athletic. Defensive lineman Keon Stowers looks bigger and better than ever, though. He has NFL potential written all over him. Kansas needs the rest of the group to step up.
2) The offensive line is still in a state of flux. Nothing is set in stone on the first team, but they have some big bodies that look OK. We'll see how they come together chemistry-wise.
3) Kicker Matthew Wyman did not impress. Special teams play left a lot to be desired.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
1) KEVIN SHORT
CHECK OUT
KANSAN COM
As solid as Kansas' secondary was last season, we may have not yet seen the best it has to offer. Ineligible last season. Short enters 2014 at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds and has a Aqib Talib-like lock-down potential.
2) COREY AVERY
Avery is quietly playing his way into the starting lineup. He keeps his pads low, has a nice burst and is strong — a Big 12 ready body at 5-foot-10, 195 pounds. He can be compared with former Kansas State running back John Hubert.

EMPLOYMENT
DEREK SKILLETT
@derekskillett
Students looking for parttime jobs can meet with prospective employers on Monday, the first day of classes, at a job fair hosted by the University Career Center.
It will be held on the fourth level lobby of the Kansas Union from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Ann Hartley, the associate director of the University Career Center, said 4,600 to 4,700 students work on campus. Employers from 11 on-campus businesses and 24 off-campus businesses will attend the fair.
Hartley said there are many different benefits to having an on-campus part-time job. Students can earn extra money for college, build resumes, develop new job skills and gain valuable professional experience.
"On-campus employers will often work with students to accommodate class schedules and exams, which makes that work experience more flexible for students," Hartley said.
"The great thing about going to a job fair is the opportunity to meet face-to-face with employers and make a good impression." Hartley said. "When you apply online, you are just another application. But when you meet someone at a job fair, you engage in a conversation and they get to know you as a real person."
Hartley said that she anticipates more than 1,200 students will attend the fair, which would be similar to last year's attendance numbers. She said students will be reminded about the event through emails and social media messages.

Campus offers variety of tutoring programs
Students can get help in all subjects

Whether students consider themselves "just not a math person" or need an extra pair of eyes on a research paper, there is someone on campus who can help through the different tutoring options available.
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT &
ACCESS CENTER (AAAC)
Students get assistance with a homework assignment at one of the campus tutoring programs. The AAAC, the Writing Center and the Help Room in the mathematics department offer services to students.
WRITING CENTER
FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
Through the AAAC, students can join a small group of no more than four people all enrolled in the same class. Group members decide on a time and place to meet throughout the semester and get help from students hired by the center. Each group pays $75 per course. The AAAC is located on the first floor of Strong Hall.
To become a tutor through the AAAC, you need to have earned a B or higher in the course selected to tutor, provided you are currently enrolled in 6 or more credit hours. Applications are on the University website and a faculty/instructor reference is required.
The Writing Center guides students through forming ideas for an essay, restructuring format and checking grammar.
"You don't even have to have a draft," said Katie Elliot, Writing Center assistant director.
Open every day but Saturday, students can either make an appointment 30 minutes prior through the phone, online or in person, or just stop by. Students can send in writing and receive feedback through email.
To become a helper in the Writing Center, students must take ENGL 400, Teaching and Tutoring Writing. Both undergraduate and graduate students can apply.
MATH HELP ROOM
The Help Room, located in Strong Hall 323, is a resource for students enrolled in Math 002 and Math 101. It is free, open to anyone, and there is no need for an appointment. Lindsey Deaver, an advising specialist in the mathematics department, said students can stop by anytime during
the week while the office is open and receive help on homework or prepare for an exam. Deaver said that this fall semester's hours
of operation have changed to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Friday.

Major decisions: Choosing the right major takes time
ACADEMICS
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
For incoming freshmen, the task of picking an area of study can seem daunting. Many enter college with the idea a major must be locked down by their freshman year, and as a result, struggle with the decision. Contrary to this popular belief, academic advisor Hall Alexander said he does not believe it is important to choose a major right away.
"When I look back on [my own decision process], picking the major from the get-go was not necessarily the most important part," Alexander said. "It was finding something that I excelled at naturally. So it really comes down to what you're interested in, and it can be kind of an exploratory process."
Should a student be in the deciding process, Alexander and his fellow academic advisor John Nelson-Hronek compiled a list of six basic things students should
complete in order to help them narrow down what they would like to study.
1. Get familiar with the KU Core: The KU Core was implemented last fall and establishes six educational goals for all undergraduates that are designed to crop fundamental skills and build a background of knowledge. The curriculum, however, is not a designated set of courses, and allows for flexibility and exploration, which is why Nelson-Hronek said the program has been incredibly useful for students still figuring out what they want to do.
planning and exploration. The instructors of the course provide students with excellent connections, Alexander said, and help make campus seem a little smaller.
2. Enroll in University 101: The course is an orientation seminar and gives students an opportunity to get acclimated to resources, expectations and opportunities at the University. According to Nelson-Hronek, the course allows students to find their niche by focusing on preparation, academic
3. Meet with an advisor: It is important to meet with one's designated advisor twice
"To an average freshman you think that careers are four years down the road an you don't care. But that's not how you should think about it."
HALL ALEXANDER Academic advisor
annually, before enrollment. Nelson-Hronek said. Oneon-one advising is always helpful for students who are either unsure what they want to major in or wish to change their major. Advisors evaluate the pros and cons of options presented, and guide students in the direction the
student wishes to go.
4. Explore the University Career Center and catalog: Nelson-Hronek said he often referred deciding students to the career center, which offers a variety of assessments to test one's aptitude on different variables and provides fields or industries the student would do well in based on the scores.
"To an average freshman, you think that careers are four years down the road and you don't care," Alexander said. "But that's not how you should think about it. Life exists after KU, so start planning for it early."
majors or courses they find interesting. Following that, employers from all over the Kansas City area are brought to the University to talk with students about potential careers. According to Alexander, the fairs are a great place to figure out what some options are that perhaps had not been previously considered.
5. Check out the majors fair and the career fair: The University has an annual majors and career fair — a perfect place for students who are wishing to broaden their horizons on specific areas of study. At the majors fair, every department and school is represented so deciding students can visit with faculty about potential

Students hunt for cheap textbooks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It's the middle of summer and while many other students are hanging out at the beach or preoccupied with jobs, Elizabeth Rodriguez is emailing instructors for information about the books she will need as a junior this fall at California State University, Dominguez Hills.
The strategy is much simpler for Cal State, San Marcos, senior Jeffrey "J." J. Gutowski. He's stopped buying books altogether, unless he is convinced he needs them to pass a course, and then he will share a classmate's text or rent one online.
Her method is to find the books early and cheaply through online sites such as Amazon.com and EBay rather than paying full price for texts that can cost upward of $300 at the school bookstore.
Such pushbacks to the soaring costs of textbooks
As colleges look to reduce the overall cost of education, many are centering efforts on course materials, which, according to Cal State officials, sets an average student back more than $1,000 annually.
have not gone unnoticed by officials at California State University, which began a new effort recently to offer more affordable options such as digital textbooks, rentals, buy-back programs and, most significantly, incentives for faculty to redesign courses to use low-cost or no-cost alternatives to textbooks.
and supplies, adding about 11 percent to the $13,200 in overall tuition and fees. And at California community colleges, many students can pay more for textbooks than for course fees, officials said.
That's an 18 percent addition to an undergraduate's annual $5,472 tuition. According to the UC website, students pay about $1,500 for textbooks
The 23-campus Cal State system is also leading a joint endeavor with the University of California and community colleges to develop an online library of free textbooks in 50 popular courses.
A national student survey released in January by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Foundation found that 65 percent of respondents said they didn't purchase a textbook because it was too expensive — even though most feared that their grades would suffer.
Making course materials more affordable has become key to increasing student success, said Gerry Hanley, Cal State's assistant vice chancellor for academic technology services.
Both Nelson-Hronek and Alexander agree there is no set equation to figuring out what one wishes to study. The human mind changes drastically between ages 18 and 22, and the brain does not stop maturing until 25, which breeds indecision. It is not uncommon for a student to change their minds.
"My goal is to cut costs by 50 percent for all students, said Hanley, who oversees the initiative that helps faculty find low-cost teaching materials. "My real desire is
to make materials free for everyone, but I recognize that the creation of content and publication is real work."
Students saved an estimated $30 million total in 2013-14 in Cal State bookstores by using digital textbooks, renting print copies, buying used ones and using other sources, Hanley said.
"Take chances," Nelson Hronek said. "Take a course you might not know much about. There isn't a perfect formula to the process, which is ultimately why it's so awesome. The fear of not knowing is what makes exploring, exploring. It's what makes college, college. The aspect of taking a chance or risk on something."
A student looking for the intermediate accounting textbook at the Dominguez Hills bookstore, for example, would find a new copy for $318.75 and a used one for $239.25. Renting a new copy would cost $191.25 and a used copy $153, while a digital version of the text costs $59.49. Last spring, about 50,000 digital textbook titles were available to Cal State students and faculty systemwide.
Despite the growth of digital formats, the trend is for students to rent hardbacks, campus store manager Brian Lacey said.
6. Know your values:
According to Nelson-
Hronek, students must know
their values so they know
what they want to get out of
the University and life.
"You get out the work you put in here," Alexander said. "You can get a Harvard-level education here at KU if that's the amount of work you put into your studies. You're in the driver's seat of your own education."

SPIRALA. A new paper by the International Research Group on the Origin and Evolution of Phylogenetic Biodiversity at UC Davis was presented at the conference this week. The research, which is published in the journal *Evolution* (Volume 167, Number 2), has contributed significantly to our understanding of the evolution of human species. The paper examines how genetic diversity has affected the evolution of humans, including traits such as intelligence, physical strength, and social behavior. It also explores how genetic variation can be used to predict future human evolutionary changes. The paper is expected to be published in a few weeks.

Tennessee night at the annual commencement of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and the counsel for the action in the University of Tennessee in Knoxville may now be heard in the city court and county court. It will appear that the two companies have objected to the hearing.
The Leading attorney, the Trustee attorney, the Circuit Court attorney, but these are not the cases in question of local parties for the Governor of Georgia which each one is entitled to hear in suiting only to the highest courts in Georgia and by the highest courts in North Carolina and by the highest courts in other counties.
The Judge is to appoint the University grantee of the university to serve as a trustee of the university. It will be pursued with companies having present interests in the university.

DEREK SKILLET

BUS STATION
Students walk to board the bus. It's important to know the bus routes and schedules to make the most of the transit system.
Whether it's 90 or 30 degrees outside, students will still huddle around the bus stops waiting for the bus.
ANDY LARKIN/KANSAN
Margretta de Vries, administrative professional for KU Parking and Transit, said more than 927,000 passengers were logged last year for Route 43 to Daisy Hill. That was just one of three bus routes that circulate campus.
With so many riders, buses are bound to slow their service as new students learn the system. To make the most of your own bus experience, make sure to follow these rules:
Know the bus routes: Bus route maps are listed at each bus stop on campus. They show a color-coded diagram of the bus routes that pass by the stop. Complete maps of all of the bus routes can be found in the KU Parking & Transit office near the Allen Fieldhouse Garage.
KNOW THE BUS SCHEDULES:
Bus schedules are typically posted alongside the bus route diagrams at bus stops.
Students can also find out when a bus is coming with a new text message system.
More information about the system can be found at lawencetransit.org. De Vries said that a new mobile app for iPhone and Android will be coming out in the next few weeks.
"It will be real-time bus location information. You tell it where you are, it tells you when the buses are coming. I think it's going to be awesome," de Vries said.
Knowing the bus schedule might also lighten the crowds that form around buses, making them operate more efficiently.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE TIME:
According to de Vries, bus traffic is heaviest between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and slowest around 4 p.m.
a senior majoring in German and Global and International Studies, put it very simply. "Move to the back of the bus if you're standing. No one likes it when the driver yells."
MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE BUS: This is simply common courtesy. Sara Anderson,
In addition to bus routes, the University also offers SafeBus and SafeRide services. SafeRide gives students a ride home from anywhere inside the city limits seven nights a week. SafeBus also gives rides home, but it operates on three fixed routes connecting campus.
downtown and student residential areas with the highest number of SafeRide rides. Both services are free to University students, but riders must have their KU ID cards. SafeRide passengers may also be required to provide proof of address, according to safebus.ku.edu.
Despite the ongoing construction, Jayhawk Boulevard will be open for bus travel by the time that school starts on Aug. 25.

COURTNEY LAYTON
Sophomore from Olathe
The housing administration guarantees students academic support, convenience and safety, Warnelink said.
Housing trains its staff and residential aides to be knowledgeable about University services and resources and in helping students get connected to these services at the time a student would need them. Housing also has several academic service partners who bring their services to the halls.
The dorms also are a great source of convenience to students. Wamelink said there is no need for students living in residence halls to worry about dividing up rent or budgeting money for food as student housing is just one payment on the tuition and fee bill, which includes dining. The dorms are also on the University bus route and are in close proximity to all sorts of activities and events.
HOUSING
"Don't restrict yourself. If you want to try something new, do it. ... Living on campus gives you such great opportunities because you're in the center of it all."
There is no shortage of decisions to make for incoming freshmen in the months before officially becoming college students, yet one of the most pressing is deciding whether to live on campus or off campus.
Dorms provide opportunity, convenience
"It's an easier way to get to know the campus better and find your way around." Layton said. "It's a good opportunity to meet all different kinds of people. It's a lot of fun."
Courtney Layton, a sophomore from Olathe, said she would recommend living on campus because of the opportunities the dorms present. Had she not lived in Oliver Hall, Layton said she would not have met some of her best friends.
Jennifer Burlingham Wamelinck, associate director for residence life, said the dorms provide more than a chance to meet new people.
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
Whether it is dashing from one class to another, joining a club or organization, or just hanging out with friends in the dorms, Layton said most students are kept fairly busy if they are not afraid to put themselves out there.
"Don't restrict yourself," Layton said. "If you want to try something new, do it. Don't limit yourself. If there is an opportunity for you to join a club or get an internship, take it. Living on campus gives you such great opportunities because you're in the center of it all."
"Through my dorm we had a lot of things going on like the Big Event, which is a big community service event that takes place in Lawrence," Layton said. "There are plenty of community service opportunities, especially through Greek life. There is also literally a club for everything. If there isn't, then you can start your own. There's always something going on; there's just so much to do."
Living on campus has its safety perks as well. Student housing has trained its staff in responding to situations and moments of crisis, and all staff members are knowledgeable about safety on campus. According to Wamelink, housing has collaborations with the University's public safety office on campus and also has cameras set up at entrances and exits to dorms.
According to Layton, it is incredibly easy to get involved at the University and in the dorms, so there is never a need to feel isolated or bored if a student is in Lawrence without their own means of transportation.
Edited by Casey Hutchins
Another common concern among first year students is transportation. While some students will arrive in Lawrence with a car of their own, both Layton and Wamelink said having no personal way to get around is absolutely no problem at all with the number of buses zigzagging through campus.
Most of my friends didn't have [a car]!" Layton said. "It's not a big deal at all. The buses have stops all over campus ... and you can ask a friend with a car for a ride."

Grocery stores offer variety of options, costs
ANDY NELSON news@kansan.com
Living on your own for the first time can pose many challenges, one of which is shopping for groceries for the first time. Whether it's your first time shopping on your own or you've done it before, it is important to look for a store that fits your needs, like what food options the store offers, cost and location. All of these factors should be considered before your first trip out to the store.
There are many options to choose from in Lawrence, but the main stores are Hy-Vee, the Merc, Natural Grocers, Dillons and Checkers. Stores like Target and Walmart are also worth mentioning for their one-stop shop qualities.
The Merc offers a wide range of organic and healthy options. Rita York, general manager, said the store bans products that contain ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, MSG and trans fats. Because of its large array of organic products, the Merc is not necessarily the cheapest option. The Merc is located at 901 Iowa St.
Natural Grocers, much like the Merc, only sells organic and natural food. According to its website, the store does not sell items that contain certain ingredients because of their questionable quality or safety. Prices are slightly higher than other stores in Lawrence because of all the organic and fair trade
options. Natural Grocers is located at 23rd Street and Naismith Drive, next to Dillons.
Hy-Vee provides lots of options including fresh produce, a deli and an organic section. While the prices aren't always the cheapest options in town, Hy-Vee puts out flyers each week to show the various sales it offers. The store has two locations in Lawrence, one at Clinton Parkway and Kasold Drive, and the other on Sixth Street near Monterey Way.
Dillons offers a wide variety of products including some organic options and fresh produce. The store sends out flyers detailing that week's sales and promotions. The store is a good value, just not always the best. Location is what sets Dillons apart, with four stores throughout Lawrence. The stores are located at the corner of Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive, at Sixth Street and Lawrence Avenue, on Massachusetts Street near 17th Street, and on 23rd Street and Naismith Drive.
Checkers sells a mix of cheaper generic brands and name-brand items. Because of this mix, Checkers has some of the best prices around. It also displays its competitors' flyers so that you know where to go to find the better deal. The store is located at 23rd and Louisiana streets.

FOOTBALL
University to host 'Proud to Be a Jayhawk' tailgate
KANSAS 2 ANSAS
University students tailgate at a house near the stadium before a football game against McNeese State on Sept. 3, 2011. The annual "Proud to Be a Jayhawk" tailgate supports Kansas football and provides funds to chosen beneficiaries across campus.
ALLISON CRIST

FILE PHOTO/KANSAN
With football season approaching, preparation for the annual "Proud to Be a Jayhawk" fundraiser has begun.
Despite its recurrence, many are unaware of the real purpose of this event.
Charlie Persinger, director of University Ceremonies and Special Events, said the "Proud to Be a Jayhawk" title focuses on fans attending and supporting the football team at games. The main objective of the fundraiser is to provide a fun and beneficial way to support groups associated with the University.
In order to accomplish both of these goals, fans are invited to picnic and tailgate around Memorial Stadium.
Funds are collected through Kansas Athletics from the sale of football programs and later dispersed to the chosen beneficiaries.
In the past years, some of these recipients have included the Marching Jayhawks, the Mi Familia Program, Global Awareness Program, Center for Community Outreach and the Center for Sustainability.
Last year's beneficiaries were the Medical-Legal Partnership Clinic for the School of Law and The Big Event.
Katie Cronin is a clinical associate professor of law and works with the Medical-Legal Partnership Clinic. She said the MLP Clinic received $2,650 in proceeds from last year's tailgate. The funds collected helped low-income Kansans receive free legal services as part of their
comprehensive health care.
comprehensive health care.
"Fundraises like the 'Proud to Be a Jayhawk' tailgate are critical to allowing the MLP Clinic to its clients and provide these educational opportunities to law students," Cronin said.
The 2014 recipients have already been selected and will be announced via press release by KU News closer to the first game Sept. 6 when the Jayhawks will take on Southeast Missouri at
Memorial Stadium.
Promoting safe tailgating is another objective of the event. To do so, a set of rules is incorporated for the event, according to Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
He said there is no tolerance for underage drinking or disorderly or unlawful conduct. Additionally, fans are not allowed to tailgate with alcohol during game time or have alcohol containers
with a capacity greater than one gallon in the designated areas. Finally, fans may not bring alcohol into Memorial Stadium.
Kansas Athletics also provides portable toilets, burn buckets to discard hot coals, and free shuttle buses to travel between designated tailgating areas and Memorial Stadium.
These designated areas only allow fans 21 and older to tailgate. People may
drink alcohol only during the specified three-hour tailgating period before kickoff and during halftime. The event's organizers will release specific information regarding shuttle buses, parking and transit when they announce this year's beneficiaries.
Once it's time for the first kickoff, there will be plenty of other activities similar to the "Proud to Be a Jayhawk" fundraiser
for fans to participate in, courtesy of the Office of KU Athletics Marketing and Fan Experience.
"They do an outstanding job of providing some great activities for families that arrive early to games while tailgating," Persinger said.

FITNESS
Getting familiar with the Student Rec Center
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU
The parking lot of the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center is almost always full. Students who may have had a long, hard day do not have to go far to let off some steam and to do so in good company. The Rec offers students a place to stay healthy and find their footing among peers.
Although the Rec is a place to meet new people, it can be an uncomfortable transition for new students.
"Honestly, when I first started going I felt kind of intimidated because there were so many people there and I didn't know where anything was," said Jessica Brossard, a sophomore from Prairie Village.
As students walk through the doors, they must scan their KU ID card before beginning their workout. Once inside, multiple exercise options await them. The ground level of the Rec contains cardiovascular equipment and weight training, as well as basketball and soccer areas. The bottom level is where students can freshen up or change clothes in the locker rooms, while the top floor offers a large walking or running track.
Jill Urkoski, associate director of the Rec, said she sees timid students like Brossard who may not feel familiar with the territory and hopes to eradicate it.
"We definitely want everyone to know they are welcome here," Urkoski said. "If you're an individual who has never been active, please come still."
Brossard said she would encourage newcomers to tag along with a friend if they are feeling overwhelmed.
"I would go with friends at first to check it out. That way I could learn where everything was," Brossard said. "Plus it's more fun to work out with friends."
The Rec offers ways to ease the feeling of intimidation for students in the form of tours and personal trainers. Urkoski said stopping by and speaking with a supervisor could only help students.
"Whether if it's they want to come be active or if it's in between classes, supervisors are always on duty," Urkoski said. "They can just ask, 'Can I get a tour today?'
These tours include an overview of the facilities and brief information about the classes available for students which can also be found online
at recreation.ku.edu.
Programs available to students include fitness, intramurals, outdoor pursuits and sports clubs. These programs vary from obtaining personal trainers, joining a team and competing against other University intramural teams, traveling and competing against other universities, or renting camping equipment for the weekend.
Fitness programs like Fit 45 and Zumba, taught by certified students, are open to students for two semesters with the purchase of a Fit Pass for a fee of $50. The Rec will be offering 55 classes this fall semester.
Whether students have time to enjoy these programs in their busy schedule, according to Urkoski, the times of classes make it difficult as they are mainly scheduled during the morning from 8 a.m. to noon, when most students are in class.
"Sometimes I'm too busy to get there," Brossard said. "I like that [the Rec is] open pretty late though because that helps me have time to go."
The Rec's fall hours are Monday through Thursday from 5:30 a.m. to midnight, Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to
10 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to midnight.
Intimidation aside, Brossard said getting into the groove and asking questions is a good way to get familiar with the recreation center.
"It was more just figuring out what machines I wanted to use and how they worked," Brossard said. "Don't be intimidated by all the people there and if you need help or have questions there is lots of staff that you can ask."

Six essential items every student needs to survive
AMBER VANERGRIFT news@kansan.com
A CELLPHONE
After spending a year at the University, sophomores have experience about what is necessary to bring to school. From the simple, everyday items to the offbeat ideas, students recommend these items for a successful year.
"I tend to use it for everything including notes for classes and Google information for help in classes," Thompson said.
Smartphones are efficient tools for students, as Kathryn Thompson, a sophomore from Dallas, explained.
"If you decide to go out you can always call for a ride home from a friend or SafeRide," Thompson said. "My phone does everything for me."
Thompson said having a cellphone at all times can be beneficial for unexpected situations.
THE PHONE NUMBER
FOR PIZZA SHUTTLE
Food is fuel, and when students are studying late at night, fuel is definitely necessary. Campus dining halls are only available at
certain hours, and for some students that is not enough.
Erin Feller, a sophomore from Lenexa, said having the phone number for Pizza Shuttle is important "for late nights at the library and for nights out with friends."
The number for Pizza Shuttle is (785) 842-1212.
A TO-GO COFFEE MUG
After a late night, the following morning can be rough. Whether a student has been studying or socializing, any night hours not spent sleeping can require an extra jolt the next day. Madeline Bjorklun, a sophomore from Lenexa, said to stay awake in class, a to-go coffee mug can be essential.
"There are going to be times when caffeine is going to be the only thing keeping you awake," Bjorklun said.
TENNIS SHOES
Campus is full of hills, and even with the buses, students do a lot of walking.
"The campus hills are killers," said Claire Sorensen, a sophomore from Olathe.
hills, making walks to class more pleasant for students.
CALVES
Even though tennis shoes can make walking the hills comfortable, they will not do the walking for students.
Tennis shoes are often more comfortable than other footwear when climbing the
To handle the hills, lake Lamb, a sophomore from Lee's Summit, Missouri, said calf muscles are essential for students. After all, in Lamb's words, "the hills are crazy."
A SMILE
This is a simple choice, yet Daniel Gewirtz, a sophomore from Northbrook, Ill., said it is an important one.
"Putting on an optimistic appearance is essential for meeting new people and possibly networking." Gewirtz said. "You'll never know when you could possibly be making another path for yourself into the future."

Upperclassmen provide their expertise for the ultimate freshman year experience
ALICIA GARZA
@AliciaoftheUDK
"The most important thing for freshmen is stay focused. There are going to be good times, and bad times, and a lot of people get distracted in the ups and downs of college, but if you can stay focused on your college goals then you will succeed even if you face a few setbacks." - Ben Schatzel, sophomore from Leavenworth
"Be yourself. It may sound cliche, but I know so many people that tried to be something they're not when they come to college just to fit in. When you can be true to who you are, everything will fall into place." - Omar Rana, from Tulsa, Okla.
"Actually go to class. Get in the habits of going. It helps more than you think." Abby Petrulis, junior from Olathe
"Getting involved is the most important thing a freshman can do. Through getting involved, a student can accomplish manythings." - Quentin Aker, sophomore from Wichita
"Take a ton of photos. You can change a lot throughout college. Remembering freshman year will be proof of that." - Mitchell Cota, senior from Overland Park
"Find a student organization to be a part of. Branch yourself out and you'll find that each day campus feels smaller and smaller." Isaac Bahney, junior from Terre Haute, Ind.
"Don't bother looking good and getting ready for class; I looked hot every day and I still don't have a husband." - TJ Blake, sophomore from Hutchinson
"Be aware of the limits of your free time. Don't be afraid to say no." - Mike Holtz, junior from Oatley
"Create a KU bucket list of all the things you want to do before you graduate. I suggest making the list, and keep adding to it as you find more cool things to do at KU. Then you can look back your senior year and see everything you've completed." - Kristina Maude, a junior from Clive, Iowa

Seniors share their final year bucket lists
ALICIA GARZA
@AliciaoftheUDK
A new school year not only means incoming freshmen, but outgoing seniors as well. Before May, graduating students have a multitude of things to cross off their treasured bucket lists.
"Before I graduate from KU,I want to..."
Cory Draves, a senior from Overland Park:
"... go on a study abroad trip.
My roommate just got back from Greece, and he said he loved it."
Ashley Watters, a senior from Dallas:
"... just want to make sure I attend every football and basketball game this year."
Max Bearce, a senior from Johnson City:
"... climb on top of Lippincott Hall. I've heard it's super easy to get up there. I've never actually been in the building, but I want to scale it for sure."
Laura Wilson, a senior from Lee's Summit, Mo.
Chiche Ireland, a senior from Lenexa
"... travel somewhere new on spring break with my fellow social work students, get accepted to the advanced standing masters of social work program, go to as many basketball games as possible, sled down 'the Hill' for the first time ever this winter, actually enjoy my senior year and not stress, explore parts of campus I've never been to before, camp at Clinton Lake, volunteer somewhere, get out of my comfort zone, join a club, attend more events on campus, donate blood, go to office hours, take a class at the Rec, hop on a random city bus and see where it takes me, and get good grades."
"... check things off from the bucket list my friends, Taylor Woodruff, Shelby Riley, Larry Winn, Rachel Zarich, Katie Martin and Emilyy Eichman and I made: Go to every football and basketball game, tailgate with our major [music therapy]," actually go to parent weekend, sled down the hill in the winter, get to experience all of the shops and bars downtown."

Gwynn said the University is making progress in educating students about sexual assault, but that "all universities could be doing more."
All universities need to listen to students themselves on how to best provide prevention and consent-based education on sexual assault to students, and keep our communities safe." Gwynn said. "The Title IX Committee has started to bridge the
gap between students and administration, but more needs to be done, as there is always need for more when it comes to an issue as embedded and complicated as sexual assault. Students need to be the most prominent voice when it comes to our own safety and needs."
Gwynn said in past years, the University has provided a mandatory online course for students to educate themselves on sexual harassment and assault. However, Gwynn said the University has not provided consequences for students not taking the course. Because of this, she said it's not as effective as it could be.
Luke Stuke, a sophomore from Topeka, said he took the sexual harassment online course, but he does not
remember a lot of what it addressed.
"I wouldn't say I remember too much, just because it seemed kind of like common sense to me, but it was a year ago, so it's been a while," Stuke said.
The University and other campus partners are continually making efforts to prevent sexual assault, including the online sexual harassment course, training students and staff.

Elections Commission issues Senate re-election
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
The Student Senate executive staff — senior Morgan Said from Kansas City, Mo., senior Miranda Wagner from Shawnee, and their hired officers — have been removed from office.
Former student body vice president Emma Halling, a senior from Elkhart, Ind., is acting as interim student body president until new leadership is determined with a re-election.
In a decision released Friday.
the University Judicial Board Appeals Panel overrode the results of the current Student Senate election and required a re-election of Student Senate positions, including President Said and Vice President Wagner, in the coming weeks.
The Panel met Wednesday to hear an appeal that argued the results were distorted because all votes for Jayhawkers, whose members were disqualified in April, were not counted. The Panel agreed in its decision and determined the Elections Commission should hold a reelection.
"We conclude that the only reasonable reading of the Election Code is that, first, the election results were 'materially altered by a violation of the Code,' and, second, a new election is required," the Panel said in its decision, signed by chair Thomas Stacy and Panel members Michelle Ginavan Haves and Lisa Wolf-Wendel.
Halling said last year's student body president, Marcus Tetwiler from Paola, graduated in May and for that reason she has stepped into the role. She said last year's
chief of staff, law student Tyler Childress from Coffeyville, will resume his former position.
"I will say that we are complying with what's been mandated and will continue to have the student body's interests in mind,"
Halling said she plans to
meet with Childress and Rueben Perez, director of the Student Involvement Leadership Center, to clarify the exact course of action moving forward based on Student Senate Rules and Regulations.

Said said she is confident in Halling's ability to lead the student body until a new president is elected.

THE RED ZONE
Campus administrators caution freshmen of the dangers of sexual assault
SEE SENATE PAGE 2
AMBER VANDEGRIFT
@AmberVandegrift
Reports of sexual assault at the University increase during a span of time called "The Red Zone," said Jane McQueeny, executive director of the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access at the University.
She said this summer there were about two or three complaints of sexual assault on campus. In past years, McQueeny said when the year begins in the fall, there are an average of three complaints every week.
The New York Times defines The Red Zone as "a period of vulnerability for sexual assaults, beginning when freshmen first walk onto campus until Thanksgiving break."
"The Red Zone presents a more challenging time for students because it is a perfect storm in many ways," McQueeny said. "Students may be away from home for the first time. For some students they are just now learning about drinking or drinking with no parental supervision. Students may be more susceptible to peer pressure and feel less sure of themselves.New students are in unfamiliar surroundings and may be not familiar with resources."
Katherine Gwynn, a senior from Olathe and president of Students United for Reproductive and Gender Equity, said it makes sense that there are more sexual assaults during the Red Zone than the rest of the school year.
“[Freshmen are] being thrown in with a lot of people for the first time... being able to have pretty easy access to alcohol and to partying and they're uninformed about what consent is,” Gwynn said. “And then they're going out and having sex, or what they think is consensual sex without really realizing that it's not. They don't realize that if you're really, really drunk you can't consent to sex ... They've never learned that ... not saying no doesn't mean
that they're... actually saying yes."
McQueeny said some students simply have the attitude that sexual assault will not happen to them, so they do not take the necessary precautions. However, she acknowledges that to prevent sexual assault, consent awareness needs to be discussed among students with more weight.
"There needs to be greater dialogue on consent and what it looks like," McQueeny said. "Knowing, voluntary and active yes is consent. Incapacity is not consent and if you engage in sexual contact with someone who is incapacitated you have committed a sexual assault." Rachel Gadd-Nelson the director of community engagement at GaDuGi SafeCenter, a sexual violence support center for Douglas, Jefferson and Franklin counties, said it is up to students to talk to each other about consent.
"We all have a responsibility and a right to have open communication about consent in our personal or sexual relationships," Gadd-Nelson said. "We don't know about our own definition of consent or of our partner/ date/friend's definition of consent unless we talk about it."
Campus Assault Resources and Education defines consent as "positive cooperation involving an act of free will, absence of coercion, intimidation, force, or the threat of force."
"There needs to be greater dialogue on consent and what it looks like."
JANE MCQUEENY Executive director of the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access
McQueeny said fully understanding consent is essential in preventing assault, not only during The Red Zone, but throughout the year.
"Steps students can take to prevent sexual assault [are] to understand and communicate about consent and what they are comfortable doing sexually," McQueeny said. "[Wait] to make sure you understand you have consent and that your partner is actually willing to engage in sexual activity with you."
Gadd-Nelson said in addition to discussing consent, sexual assault awareness needs to address "perpetrator-focused" education.
"It should not be the potential victim's responsibility to prevent sexual assault," Gadd-Nelson said. "A lot of these victim-blaming messages are targeted towards women in our society and we [GaDuGi SafeCenter] work hard to destroy the myths and stereotypes that surround sexual violence issues."
Gwynn said simply focusing on potential victims when trying to prevent sexual assault is not as effective.
"Usually we teach [sexual assault prevention] from a way of 'OK, try to not get yourself sexually assaulted,' and that's usually the way that so much sexual assault prevention has gone in the past, ... which is ... like you know, giving someone a fish instead of teaching them how to fish, like you're not actually stopping the source of the problem," Gwynn said.
McQueeny acknowledges that alcohol is a contributing factor in sexual assault. She said about 75 percent of sexual assault reports on campus involve alcohol, and knowing how to handle alcohol can prevent assault.
"Students need to understand responsible drinking," McQueeny said. "Know what you are drinking and who poured it. Pace yourself; drink water between drinks."
McQueeny said alcohol can also negatively affect the understanding of consent and clarity of communication.
"Drinking can muddle communications," McQueeny said. "The law and University policy is very clear, there can

be no consent if the party is incapacitated. Students need to recognize and understand what incapacity looks like and to make sure they are not engaging in sexual contact with someone who is incapacitated.

Gwynn said the University is making progress in educating students about sexual assault, but that "all universities could be doing more."
All universities need to listen to students themselves on how to best provide prevention and consent-based education on sexual assault to students, and keep our communities safe," Gwynn said. "The Title IX Committee has started to bridge the

gap between students and administration, but more needs to be done, as there is always need for more when it comes to an issue as embedded and complicated as sexual assault. Students need to be the most prominent voice when it comes to our own safety and needs."

Jayhawk Boulevard construction is now complete in time for bus traffic to be allowed through for Monday's classes. The street and sidewalks are completely open for student use, but trees and landscaping have not been completed, due to the heat.
Construction on Jayhawk Boulevard is complete, and buses and pedestrians will have full access to the roads and sidewalks. Landscaping projects are expected to be completed in September or October when temperatures are cooler.
Landscaping projects should be finished in September or October, said Paul Graves, deputy director of Design and Construction Management.

Remnants of the construction, including the large staging area in front of Watkins Library, have been removed and most signs from the project are gone.
This summer's
This summer's construction was the second phase in the Jayhawk Boulevard beautification project. It was expected to be finished within the first week of August, but a
rainy summer, along with unexpected difficulties, led to the delay.
"Until you start doing the excavation and so forth, you don't know for sure
what you're going to run into, so they ran into some challenges," Graves said. The entire project should be completed in summer of 2016.
The KU Info booth was also torn down during the project. It will be replaced in a new location near the old one.
Jayhawk Boulevard will be open to buses and
pedestrians, but nonuniversity vehicles will still not be allowed on the street during main campus hours.

Pacey said he thinks the election will only be between candidates that participated in last year's election and were not disqualified — meaning only members of Crimson and True and Grow KU — as the decision to disqualify members of Jayhawkers was upheld

CORRECTIONS
The article titled "Getting familiar with the Student Rec Center" in Wednesday's issue incorrectly stated the price and length of a KU Fit pass as $50 for two semesters. Additionally, Fit45 was incorrectly listed as a KU Fit class. Jill Urkoski was wrongly identified as the associate director of Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Services. The earlier version also incorrectly indicated the majority of KU Fit classes are offered between 8 a.m. and noon. The classes are offered all day. The story has been updated on Kansan.com to reflect the changes.
The article titled "Students donate nearly $500,000 in items to community" in Wednesday's
issue incorrectly stated the Center for Community Outreach (CCO) donated $500,000 in items during a recent drive. The CCO donated $250,000 in items during the drive and had an overall economic impact of $500,000 during the 2014-15 academic year. The article also stated that more than 3,000 volunteers assisted with the drive. The CCO did not have 3,000 volunteers helping at the drive; rather, it is the total annual volunteers. The article stated one of the CCO's programs is Super Service Saturday. This is not a program, it is an annual event. The story has been updated on Kansan.com to reflect the changes.

Clutch Prep offers free online tutorials
BETH FENTRESS
@ElizaFentress
A free online site called Clutch Prep is offering textbook-specific online tutorials for math and science classes.
The site allows students from the top 125 American universities, including the University of Kansas, to look up their school and textbooks to find the tutorials.
KU students taking Chemistry I and II, Calculus I, Statistics I, Physics I and Organic Chemistry I can go online and receive free tutoring videos.
"I absolutely would [use Clutch Prep]," said Emily Nisson, a senior from Chicago. "It sounds very
similar to anything related to Khan Academy, and I think it's a great resource to have outside of meeting with your teacher."
Clutch Prep started out as a tutoring business in Miami four years ago.
It started with two college students who were really good at tutoring," said Patrick O'Keefe, Clutch Prep's vice president of marketing. "They wanted to see if they could help other students and make it into a real business."
Marcio Souza and Johnny Betancourt, who were fraternity brothers at the Florida International University, began offering tutoring sessions for FLU students. As the program's
popularity grew, the duo put videos online to meet the demands of students.
"... I think it's a great resource to have outside of meeting with your teacher."
EMILY NISSON Senior from Chicago
Once the content hit the Internet, the team realized many math and science textbooks at different universities have similar content and teach similar concepts and their ambitious idea was born.
During the summer of
2014, Clutch Prep did an experimental launch of the online program to 20 universities. After receiving feedback, the group opened up the site's options to 125 universities this year, allowing KU students the access. Currently the site has a total of 5,600 users.
"For some universities, like the University of Central Florida, we have a couple hundred users," O'Keefe said. "For other ones, we maybe only have 30."
Ten KU students have used the site, but some students are wary about using the site. "I prefer to have the specific books and teacher," said Zizhen Pei, a sophomore from China studying prepharmacy. "I can ask a
question when I mistakenly Antoine Baggett, a freshman from Brookings, S.D., also said he prefers face-to-face learning.
question when I finish class."
"I think a classroom setting promotes communication," Baggett said. "I think active communication, physical communication is a little bit better than online communication. It works a little bit more efficiently."
Artem Volos, chief financial officer and chief operating officer for Clutch Prep. said sometimes students are apprehensive about the online learning.
"A lot of people initially feel like, 'Oh, I'm not really going to learn, I want face-to-face [instruction] because it's so much better,' " Volos said.
KU$\textcircled{1}$nfo
Welcome back, Jayhawks! There are only 33 class days left till Fall Break and 74 left till Stop Day. You can make it!
However, Volos said the retention rate is about 85 percent for the site with students coming back for the tutoring videos. Students can also post questions about the videos, and one of the tutors will respond within several days.
The group also plans to expand by adding more classes, such as Biology, Balculus II, Trigonometry, Physics II and College Algebra.
CCO hosts 'Super Service' volunteer event

Edited by Yu Kyung Lee
The Center for Community Outreach (CCO) held Super Service Saturday this weekend on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union, where students signed up to volunteer in the Lawrence community.
Students signed up to volunteer at 19 sites, including the Campus Garden, Burroughs Creek Trail, Centennial Park and many others.
Before Super Service Saturday began, Micah Melia, a senior from Prairie Village co-running the event, said they were expecting around 400-450 people. A total of 494 students volunteered.
We'll see kind of what happens when people get here, but it's going to be a lot of fun, a great way for people to meet
people, and to learn a little about the service that CCO is doing throughout the year." Melia said before the event started.
"... I've heard a lot of good things about CCO, I just thought, I want to be a part of this."
ALEXANDER DANG Sophomore from Shawnee
While many freshmen attended Super Service Saturday as a Hawk week event, other freshmen came out for the volunteer work.
"I always did community service back in Overland Park, so now I need something to do
for the community," said Mykell Ma, a freshman from Overland Park.
Super Service Saturday wasn't just a freshman-exclusive event as older students showed up for a first time experience also.
"I thought about doing it my freshman year and now that I'm finally here, I had some time to get situated in Lawrence beforehand, I thought, I mean, why not?" said Alexander Dang, a sophomore from Shawnee. "I know a lot of people do it and I've heard a lot of good things about CCO, I just thought, I want to be a part of this."
BIG DAY
For more information about volunteering, the University Career Center is holding a volunteer fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 3, on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.

FFA OF THE DAY
Elections commission should move forward carefully
Last semester, the Jayhawkers coalition was disqualified from Student Senate elections on April 8, the night before the election, for producing an incorrect financial report. Jayhawkers were given two days to appeal this decision and, as a result, remained on the ballot.
On April 29, the Elections Commission announced the full election results, revealing that Jayhawkers' candidates received approximately 60 percent of the vote. The Elections Commission decided that because the votes were for disqualified candidates, they were invalid. The presidential and vicepresidential candidates from Grow KU took office, despite only receiving 31.6 percent
of the vote.
The Panel found in its Aug. 22 decision that the Commission overstepped its authority by declaring the votes cast for Jayhawkers invalid. The Code clearly states that "If the Elections Commission finds that the results of any electoral race have been materially altered by a violation of this Code, it shall declare the results of that race void and call for a new election for the affected office(s)"
According to the Panel's logic, voters who chose to cast a vote for the disqualified Jayhawkers risked their vote being nullified if the coalition lost the appeal after the polls closed. Conversely, if those who supported Jayhawkers had voted for their second
choice, they risked the integrity of their vote if the Jayhawkers disqualification had been overturned.
The decision to disqualify Jayhawkers has been upheld by the Commission and the Panel, and creating a completely new election would mean allowing time for the formation of new coalitions, campaigning and, potentially, more violation complaint hearings, which we saw far too many of last semester.
To avoid further confusion and voter disillusionment, The Kansan Editorial Board believes the best solution to end the confusion surrounding the spring election is to hold a re-election allowing the 60 percent of students whose
votes were declared invalid to choose between the two remaining eligible coalitions: Grow KU and Crimson and True.
We believe Student Senate and the Elections Commission have an opportunity to show students that their votes do matter. The Elections Commission has a great deal of discretion in how it proceeds with the re-election, and the coming weeks could shape students' opinions regarding the entire election process an important consideration, as only 4,332 students cast votes for the presidential and vice presidential ballots in the spring.
We implore the Elections Commission to consider the student body when planning
the re-election and recognize that freshmen, if allowed to vote, are unfamiliar with last semester's campaign and the remaining coalitions. We also ask: What will happen to the votes of the seniors who graduated in May? Who is making decisions for the student body? What is truly fair in this situation? There are still countless unanswered questions from each viewpoint.
We urge the Commission to carefully consider all of these questions when determining what should happen next. In other words; consider the process,consider the current students,don't make hasty decisions,and do it right this time.The student body is still watching.
On the merits of being bossy
I'm bossy! I'm the first girl to scream on the
track," cries R&B singer Kelis through my car radio. I find myself singing along, loud and proud as I cruise through Lawrence. All night, I'm running through my house singing, "I'm bossy! I'm the first girl to scream on the track," not knowing any other words.
My mom has always called me bossy; most people I know call me bossy. My mom, however, is the only person who has meant it as a compliment. I have never understood why my dominant attribute, the dominant attribute of all the women in my family, is widely considered undesirable.
By Gabrielle Murnan
@GabrielleKansan
What makes Kelis and me cool (yeah, that's right, I'm cool like Kelis) is what others find synonymous with nasty and abrasive. Dictionary.com lists bossy among words such as "highhanded and overbearing." The audacious Urban Dictionary paints a more appealing picture saying bossy means you are the "alpha female or the queen bee ... getting paid and staying fly" But if you scroll down, the next entry describes a woman who "probably has a pair .." If this anonymous urban dictator is referring to my double major,
then yes, I do have a pair.
These online dictionaries illustrate phenomenally well that bossy is a negative term associated with women, especially women who "act like men." The same qualities in a man that merit promotions are the qualities that label a woman bossy. This reminds us that certain attributes are ingrained in males. These include directness, leadership skills, effective communication and success. I am not the first, or the last, woman to point out that these stereotypes are damaging and grossly incorrect. Knowing who I am as a leader and communicator does not mean I have male genitalia. It means I am confident in who I am as a friend, girlfriend, daughter, granddaughter, employee and occasional Frisbee thrower.
Assertive women have often been told the words they use, their tone and their mannerisms make them seem bossy, harsh and abrasive.
When bossy is mixed in with other horribly descriptive words, it adopts a new meaning. Rather than being direct, knowledgeable and efficient, that girl or woman is made to feel overbearing, or worse, manly. I have my mother, not the society we live in, to thank for teaching me that bossy qualities give me strength. Because of her I knew how to handle myself when I was sexually harassed on the school bus at age nine. Because of her, those boys never messed with me again and they damn well knew I was a boss.
Those who associate certain qualities with bossiness in a woman and charisma in a man will continue to perpetuate the belief that women are weak and those that are not have simply stepped over their boundaries. Bossiness should no longer be associated with harpy women; rather it should be associated with adept leaders and strength in difficult situations, regardless of gender.
I am bossy, and I will always be the first girl to scream on the track.

Taylor Swift's music video shows diversity through dancing
Unless you've been vacationing in a black hole for the past week
The video's intended message is to embrace our individuality and ignore those who criticize us for doing so. Ironically, the video has brought a huge negative backlash on Swift.
The controversy begins when Swift appears with a group of twerking girls. The first time I watched the video, I didn't pick up on the twerking, I focused to much on their huge hoop earrings and leopard-print jackets. However, the Internet turned out to be more observant than me.
The same day the video premiered, angry viewers filled my Tumblr account accusing Swift of racism and cultural appropriation. According to Swift's critics, her use of African-American women as twerking hip-hop dancers is offensive. They believe the use of twerking in her video is offensive and some commenters claim Swift is using the dancers as objects or ornaments.
you know Taylor Swift has dropped a new single with a new music video. "Shake It Off" is a song so dangerously catchy it should be illegal in most European countries. It is a blatant brush off of all the criticism Swift has received from her love life to her dancing.
The song's music video is based off the flack Swift gets for her enthusiastic dancing at award shows. The video features the singer trying to fit in with various professional dance groups. In one scene she's leading a troupe of ballerinas, in another she's with a hip-hop group. As she bounces back and forth between the groups, she proves she is a less-than-gifted dancer, while somehow making rhythmic gymnastics seem threatening.
Frankly, I can't see it. Yes, some of Swift's fellow girls are
As far as celebrities go, Taylor Swift is incredibly tame. Swift works hard to maintain a positive image for herself and has never been the least bit controversial. Calling her racist is unnecessary and uninformed.
In addition to focusing on Swift, the other main focus of the video is the passion and skill of the dancers. The dancers are most certainly not being used as objects to decorate Swift's video. They are being put forward as individuals of great talent and grace — anyone watching the video can see that.

@miss_maddy
The idea that a group has an exclusive claim to a certain type of dance simply because they "started" it doesn't sit right with me. The Italians invented ballet, yet there's no scandal when an American or Russian dancer is cast in a production of "Swan Lake." My four years of dance experience qualify me to say that although the origins of types of dance are important, the amount of passion a person puts into this art form is more so, no matter their race or ethnicity.
HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
African-American, but not all. The dancers aren't relegated to the hip-hop scenes; the music video features dancers of all races throughout.
The assumption that the use of twerking is cultural misappropriation is equally ridiculous. One of the main purposes of the video is to showcase different dancing styles. Twerking, in my opinion, is just another style of dancing. It requires talent and rhythm. Like all other styles of dance, twerking is an art form and deserves to be treated as such.

The Mirth Café, located at 947 New Hampshire St., has been seized by the Kansas Department of Revenue for nonpayment of taxes. The property is now in the possession of the state of Kansas, according to a sign posted on the front door of the café.
Two signs, one simply saying closed and the other relaying the Kansas Department of Revenue's notification, alerted passersby to the café's closing. Many of the interior decorations have already been taken down or removed.
"That's crazy," said Kyle Naig, a junior from Des Moines, Iowa, when told of
the restaurant's closing. "I think I was there like four days ago or so. I remember eating there with my friends after basketball camping lotteries my freshman year."

Naig remembers the café's previous location as being smaller, always packed full and having a "fun vibe."
Kyle Bishop, a senior from Wichita, said that as a vegetarian, the restaurant had a good menu that was not only accommodating, but also affordable.
Isaac Thibault, a sophomore from Hutchinson, hopes the restaurant will not stay closed.
The owner of the Mirth Café was not available for comment by the date of this brief's publication. The Kansas Department of Revenue has not yet returned requests for comments; in addition, past employees of the café who agreed to be interviewed for the story requested anonymity.

Chess club eliminates competition from game
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN

@MarissaUDK
Members of The Shitty Chess Players Club play a game of chess during their weekly meeting Wednesday at Decade coffee shop, 920 Delaware St. The club works to provide a friendly environment to play the board game.
At the beginning of summer, a new club formed in Lawrence called The Shitty Chess Players Club. The club has reinvented the meaning of chess to not achieve checkmate, but rather to provide a place for anyone with any level of chess experience to have the opportunity to play while instilling a sense of camaraderie between players.
"Everyone is there just to have fun. We don't take ourselves too seriously," said club member Matthew Perry from Perry, Ga.
Every Wednesday night, the club meets at the coffee shop Decade, 920 Delaware St. Decade is described as a "wooden tree house" by club founder Mathew Klickstein and provides a comfortable environment for club members.
From New York to Los Angeles, Klickstein has traveled and lived in both places, always carrying his chessboard in his backpack. As a child, Klickstein said he "got into chess by accident." Intrigued by older chess players and his friends, Klickstein decided to join them. This early engagement in chess led to "validation in having a social experience with people twice my age," Klickstein said.
Now, he has decided to move to Lawrence and continues to keep his chessboard in hand at restaurants, bars and coffee shops to pursue his passion
Klickstein's goal in founding the club was to provide a space to play for fun, especially for people who might be embarrassed or find chess difficult or intimidating.
and meet new people. KU students and Lawrence locals come to the club weekly from ages as young as 10 to play or observe the game.
"On a typical night there's usually eight to nine people with three to four games going consecutively," Perry said. "There seems to be a core group of four to five people who always show up and another two to three who come and go."
Club regular Kate Gramlich-Roumbos said before joining The Shitty Chess Players Club, she never knew how fun chess could be.
Caffeine and good company serve as key ingredients to endure 60-second speed-games
of chess. With no time for analysis or hesitation, the player must go with their coffee-infused gut.
For traditionalists, the club also plays traditional chess games, which contain just as much heat, drama and passion as speed chess. The club meets from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Wednesday nights at Decade and welcomes all levels of chess.

Kansas soccer defeats Wyoming in first match
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
The Kansas women's soccer team, clad in its infamous crimson and blue striped uniforms, took to the field at the new Rock Chalk Park stadium for the first time Aug. 22 to take on Wyoming University. The team's fresh offense also made its debut.

The offense in question, called a 4-2-1-1-2 by Coach Mark Francis and players, led the Jayhawks to a 3-1 win against the Cowgirls. Junior midfielder Liana Salazar said one of the team's objectives was to score within the first five minutes of the game, and they succeeded with her first goal at the minute-and-a-half mark.
Salazar said the experience of playing at the new facility was incredible, and the team felt closer and more connected to the people in attendance. Salazar said she was also thrilled with her bicycle kick that resulted in a goal.
"That's what we've been practicing," Salazar said. "Try to score in the first five minutes so we can have the tempo of the game to control it. That is something we've been practicing: keep pushing and scoring."
"That's how we drew it up," Francis said. "No, it was a great goal by Liana. She's that kind of person, she can pull special things like that out. But to start off like that, it kind of got the kids fired up. I think it was a good way to start for sure."
Francis said the new offense featured two midfielders playing high which is supposed to generate an attacking offense and allow plenty of opportunities for one vs. one plays. Unfortunately, this style of play led to nine offside calls on Kansas.

"It's just timing on our part," Francis said. "We talked about it at halftime. The thing I did like was the mentality. We were looking to maybe stretch the game and manipulate it into
The women's soccer team celebrates after scoring a goal against the Wyoming Cowgirls on Friday, Aug. 21. The Jayhawks won 3-1 in the first game they played at the new Rock Chalk Park stadium.
Francis' game plan worked, and the Jayhawks generated plenty of scoring opportunities early on in the game, one of which led to their second goal at the 18-minute mark. Junior forward Ashley Williams fired a cross from the near side of the field into the six-yard box — a perfect setup for freshman forward Lois Heuchan to tap the ball into the net.
"We have really good freshmen that clicked immediately with our system," Williams said. "We didn't have to spend too much time working with them on that. The veterans were helping out and getting into a groove with them. Everything is clicking at the right time."
The rest of the half remained scoreless as both teams attacked with intensity but were unable to find the back
of the net. At the conclusion of the half, the Cowgirls led the Jayhawks 6-5 in shots on goal, but the Jayhawks' senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud had tacked on two saves to the Cowgirls' zero.
After returning from the
locker room, the Jayhawks once again started the half quickly with a one-on-one breakaway goal by Williams four minutes into the half. According to Francis, that is exactly how the new offense is supposed to work. The
competing teams continued to battle it out while the Jayhawks improved on their offside calls. Wyoming still outshot Kansas as it began to get more

Coach Bill Self capped off an accomplished offseason for the Kansas men's basketball team when he nominated the players to complete the ALS ice bucket challenge.
On March 31, former Jayhawk guard Andrew Wiggins declared for the NBA draft, causing the first domino to fall.
A little, more than a week later, Wiggins' former teammate center Joel Embiid followed suit and declared for the draft, as well.
Normally, when two players
the caliber of Embiid and Wiggins leave a team, the following season tends to be a down year. But that won't be the case for the 2014-15 team.
Kansas is bringing in two top recruits with forward Cliff Alexander (No. 3) and guard Kelly Oubre Jr. (No. 11), according to the ESPN Top 100 rankings.
The Jayhawks have two more recruits joining the class: guard Devonte Graham and 16-year-old guard Sviatoslov Mykhailiuk from Ukraine.
Graham committed to Kansas shortly after former guard Naadir Tharpe announced he would be
leaving Kansas. Mykhailiuk is a foreign recruit and would be considered a top 100 ESPN recruit if he were eligible. His play style has been compared to Argentinian and San Antonio Spurs great, Manu Ginobli.

@BCarroll91
The Jayhawks opened the season Friday with their new and improved offense in a 3-1 win at the new facility at Rock Chalk Park against the Wyoming Cowgirls.
The offense, which is described as a 4-2-1-1-2, is designed to give Kansas more power and is developed around its current roster.
As Coach Mark Francis explained, every coach bases his or her formations off of the players to match with their strengths on the field, and that's how the new offense came in.
"It suits the players that we have for the personnel that we have," Francis said. "Liana [Salazar] and Lois [Heuchan] are starting to get a pretty good connection together."
At the conclusion of the game, Francis expressed his pleasure
"I would say other than the three we scored, we probably had four really good chances other than that," Francis said. "They're starting to figure out some things between themselves, but it was a good start tonight."
with how the team played as a whole in the new formation.
But with every new plan comes errors. For Kansas, the nine offsides the team drew was its downfall. Coach Francis said they will work on that in practice and look at film to help cut back on the number of offsides for future games, as well.
"We always want one of the two players who are playing high to be right on the defender so that we have an opportunity to maybe get in behind [the defender]," Francis said. "The thing is when you do that you're taking a risk of being offsides, so it was just timing on our part."

Francis said the nine offsides could have been one-on-one
Junior forward Ashley Williams, who scored a goal and had an assist, expressed her pleasure with how the team handled the pressure of the new offense.
"I'm really, really proud of our offense," Williams said. "I think that we're more dangerous and it showed, so I'm really proud of us."
Williams agreed with Francis assessment of the new offense and hopes to continue working hard to perfect it as the season unwinds.
"We definitely need to work on our runs a little bit better and just keep talking and getting better," Williams said.

South Korea lifts past Chicago to win LLWS

ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — In the giddy moments after South Korea won the Little League World Series, outfielder Don Wan Sin realized how he wanted to celebrate.
South Korea players toss coach Keun Ha Park in the air after winning the championship baseball game against Chicago at the Little League World Series on Sunday in South Williamsport, Pa. South Korea won 8-4
"I want to go to the Blue House — the White House of Korea — and meet the President," Sin said, breaking up his teammates.
Just maybe Sin, who scored twice and hit a solo homer, will indeed get his wish to meet Park Geun-hye.
He's famous back in his homeland — along with all of his teammates.
Jae Yeong Hwang drove in two runs and combined with Hae Chan Choi, who weathered a late Chicago rally, to lead the Asia-Pacific Region champions to an 8-4 win in Sunday's LLWS championship game.
But even he got a little nervous at the end after Chicago collected four of its six hits and scored three times.
Hwang, who was removed because he wasn't feeling well, gave up one hit in two-plus innings while striking out four. He also drove in his team's first two runs as they built an 8-1 lead before Jackie Robinson West made it close.
Choi, who had a homer and scored twice, pitched the last four innings for South Korea, which won its third title after back-to-back championships in 1984 and 1985.
"I knew I could allow some runs," he said. "After I got the second out, I thought I could do it. But after I gave up the three runs I was (worried)."
"I'm very joyful. It's a wonderful feeling," Hwang said. "I don't know why I am even here; I didn't play very good today."
International teams have won the last three and four of the last five titles.
Brandon Green went five 2-3 innings for Chicago, which had survived four straight knockout games before the final.
After the final out, a force play, the Seoul team's bench emptied and the players dumped cups of water on their teammates near the mound. The players took a victory lap, waving and laughing.
The win meant a lot to the people of South Korea, who had to watch it or get updates in the middle of the night.
"We know the time difference and that a lot of people were cheering for us," said manager Jong Wook Park. "We appreciate the people back in Korea. I told the kids that in a speech."
The game was played in bright sunshine and temperatures in the high 70s before a crowd of 28,671 at Lamade Stadium.
South Korean fans, brightly dressed in flowing satin robes of yellow and electric blue, danced with large fans in the latter innings.
Chicago, the Great Lakes Region champions, came back from 3-0 and 5-4 deficits to beat favored West champ Las Vegas Mountain Ridge 7-5 in the U.S. title game on Saturday. Earlier, South Korea, the Asia-Pacific Region winner, rolled over Japan, 12-3.

Kansas soccer defeats SMU to sweep opening matches
BENJAMIN CARROLL
@BCarroll91

Senior Ali Kimura turns swiftly at the ball during Sunday's game against Southern Methodist. The Jayhawks defeated the Mustangs 3-0.
After the Kansas women's soccer match at the new Rock Chalk Park facility Friday night, Sunday afternoon's game was moved to the old Jayhawk Soccer Complex. There, the Jayhawks completed their opening weekend sweep with a 3-0 win against Coach Mark Francis' alma mater, the Southern Methodist University Mustangs.
MICHAEL O'OBRIEN/KANSAN
The Jayhawks had plenty of momentum built up from Friday night's win and kept it coming into Sunday's match.
The team took to the field with the same starters and the same 4-2-1-1-2 formation from Friday night. Kansas' new offense performed much better, cutting back the offside penalties from nine on Friday to two on Sunday.
It took both teams most of the first half to find any sort of groove offensively. The first real scoring chance of the match occurred in the 26-minute mark when the Mustangs kicked a penalty shot just outside the top of the box. The shot ended up just wide left of the net.
Midfielder Tayler Estrada dribbled the ball up field at
At the 30-minute mark,
SMU led in shots, but senior
goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud
was able to keep the match score-
less with two saves.
"I think it was an awesome cross from Tayler, and I was in the right situation in the right moment in the right place," Mayr said. "It was good to score the first goal for Kansas, and I think it was an important goal."
the 31-minute mark, just before she kicked a perfect cross into the box to the far post to freshman forward Eli Mayr. Mayr chipped it in front of the net as Kansas jumped to a 1-0 lead over the Mustangs. The Javhawks never looked back.
The shots were scarce for both the Jayhawks and the Mustangs, and by halftime, Kansas led SMU in shots 6-4 and maintained the slim 1-0 advantage.
During halftime, Francis expressed his displeasure with how the team played in the first half.
"I kind of got on them a little bit because the first 20 minutes we just weren't sharp," Francis said. "Our movement, our passing — we just wasn't sharp at all, and I thought SMU had more of the first 20 minutes."
Francis said Kansas looked much better in the second half, especially in the last 20 minutes when the players became more consistent with their passing and runs.
goal of the season.
Kansas tacked on another goal in the 70-minute mark. Senior forward Ali Kimura picked up a loose ball at the top of the box, beat her defender and scored for her first
The Mustangs tried to claw themselves back into the match with a late penalty kick in the box. SMU's defender Olivia Elliott took the kick, but was unsuccessful in putting it in the back of the net because of a diving stop by Stroud.
"There's six or seven minutes left and now it's 2-1 and they're throwing everyone forward, and it would have been a totally different game," Francis said,
highlighting the importance of Stroud's save.
With just seconds left to play, Kansas put SMU away when Liana Salazar scored an unassisted goal to put Kansas on top 3-0.
Both Mayr and Francis said finishing the opening weekend with two wins is crucial for a team with plans to make it to the NCAA tournament, but most importantly, the success gives the team a momentum
boost.
Kansas' next match will be Friday, Aug. 29, at 7 p.m. against the University of Texas San Antonio. The match's location has not been determined yet.
"I think the biggest thing is it just gives you confidence," Francis said. "We've scored six goals in the first two games, and as an attacking player when you score a goal, it gives you confidence, which is just going to help our team going into the next game."
"We have to stay focused," Mayr said. "To win the first two games is really important, and we want to continue it on Friday."

Spring sports savor success
Last May the women's golf team concluded its long season by qualifying for the NCAA Championship and finishing 24th among the best teams in collegiate women's golf. On the way to its championship tournament appearance, the team finished in the top 10 in every tournament on the schedule, including 10 top-five finishes and two tournament wins. Both of the wins, the Sunflower Invitational and the Palmetto Intercollegiate, came early in the season last September and October. The team's postseason run was a historic one as the Jayhawks tied for fourth in the conference championship and tied for fifth at the NCAA Regionals earning themselves a trip to Tulsa where they competed in only their second NCAA championship and their first in 24 years.

2014 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships this past June in Eugene, Ore. Due to the group's small size, neither the men's nor the women's team was able to place, but both teams managed to bring individual honors back to Kansas. Sophomore long jumper Sydney Conley finished 7th overall in her second straight championship appearance earning herself First-Team All-America Honors. Also on the women's side, senior thrower Jessica Maroszek finished sixth in the discus and earned her third First-Team All-America Honors in her college career. The men's lone top finish came on the track where junior hurdler Michael Stigler took second place in the 400m hurdles. This was Stigler's second straight runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships.
Out on the diamonds, the softball team added to the springtime success for KU Athletics. The Jayhawks finished the season well over .500 with a 34-23 record and reached their first NCAA Tournament since 2006.
The team started off the tournament with a statement 3-1 win over No.19 overallseed Nebraska and moved on to play Missouri but lost 3-6. Because of the tournament's double elimination format, the team continued on, but lost to a revived Nebraska team, thus concluding the postseason run with a 1-2 record.

The baseball team also experienced success on the diamond last spring. The team finished third in the Big 12 with a record of 15-9 and a 35-26 record overall, eventually reaching its first NCAA tournament since 2009. The Jayhawks got off to a strong start in the tournament with a 10-6 win over Kentucky, but went on to lose the following day to a strong Louisville team that would eventually advance to become one of the final eight teams in the College World Series. The team's second loss came a day later to a Kentucky team that sought revenge in a close game that the Jayhawks lost 6-8.

Freshmen Havili, Rigdon impress at scrimmage
Crimson and Blue Alumni Match sets stage for season opener next weekend
MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
At Saturday's Crimson and Blue Alumni Match, the players stretched as if it were a regular season match, hydrated as if it were a regular season match, and sweated as if it were, you guessed it, a regular season match. For many, the scrimmage, and 3-1 Crimson team victory, was just as significant.
At this point almost all of the starting lineup is set for the season opener next weekend, but that doesn't mean it's set in stone. This match was the first in front of the fans and a first test for the freshmen, with all of them looking to prove they can play this season. There were a couple of freshmen who took advantage of this preseason match and either boosted or secured their starting spot this season, the first one being freshman setter Ainise Havili from Fort
Worth, Texas.
Right from the start, Havili was intense and communicative with her teammates, showing maturity well beyond that of a freshman. Her 43 assists led the team and she coupled that with 14 digs for a double-double. More impressive was Havili's ability to set crosscourt to the weaker side when she was pushed out of her normal setting spot, allowing her hitters to swing against one blocker multiple times. Her odds of being the starting setter look great after this match, as she played with all the upperclassmen for the first game and was also the winning setter in every game.
Another freshman who impressed was Madison Rigdon. The outside hitter from Pflugerville, Texas, finished the match with a team high 18 kills and 11 digs to notch a double-double. Unlike other positions, the ascent to a starting spot
will be harder for Rigdon as she plays outside hitter, a position which saw all three upperclassmen return this year. A performance like hers will not go unnoticed by Coach Ray Bechard, and it should give him confidence going into the season that Rigdon can fill the outside spot if needed.
The team held a pregame ceremony where it unveiled the 2013 NCAA Sweet 16 banner. Seven seniors who achieved that award were not there to accept it. Instead, their freshman counterparts were. And as the sheet came down, one couldn't help but notice a passing of the torch feeling. The banner wasn't just a symbol of achievement, but also a message from the 2013 seniors to future Jayhawks: These are now the expectations of the Kansas volleyball program.

Royals fall to Rangers in 3-1 loss
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jason Vargas throws during the first inning gainst the Texas Rangers on Sunday. The Rangers avoided a sweep with the 3-1 victory.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scott Baker won as a starter for the first time in more than three years, and the Texas Rangers beat the AL Central-leading Kansas City Royals 3-1 Sunday to avoid a series sweep.
Adrian Beltre put Texas ahead to stay with an RBI double in the first. Beltre had his fifth straight multihit game, including all three games against Kansas City to extend his hitting streak against the Royals to 17 games.
Baker (2-3) went five innings in a spot start, 12 days after winning with two relief innings against Tampa Bay on Aug. 12.
That was his first victory since a start for Minnesota against Detroit on July 23, 2011.
The 32-year-old right-hander missed all of 2012 after Tommy John surgery. He made three starts for the Chicago Cubs at the end of last season and has started five of his 22 games since joining the Rangers in June. He had made six relief appearances since his last start July 13.
With Yu Darvish still on the disabled list and Miles Mikolas pushed back a day, Baker threw 51 of his 71 pitches for strikes on a day when the temperature was near 100 degrees. The only run on his
line was Billy. Butler's leadoff homer in the fourth.
Nefali Feliz worked the ninth for his sixth save in seven chances since reassuming the closer role a month ago after Joakim Soria was traded to Detroit.
Jason Vargas (10-6) allowed 11 hits and walked four in his six innings, though the Rangers only managed three runs (two earned) against the left-hander. Vargas had walked only one in 25 1-3 innings previously this month.
The Rangers had five doubles off Vargas, including a runscoring hit for Adam Rosales in the second. Alex Rios had a
leadoff double in the third, and scored on a single by Robinson Chirinos.
Chirinos was put in the starting lineup after Geovany Soto was a late scratch. The Rangers announced during the game that Soto was traded to Oakland for cash.
Kansas City will start a 10-game homestand on what originally was a scheduled day off Monday. James Shields (12-6) pitches for the Royals against the New York Yankees in the makeup of a game postponed June 9 because of rain. They then have three-game series against Minnesota, Cleveland and Texas.

Q: In Selby's tone season at Kansas, how far did the Jayhawks advance in the NCAA tournament?

A: Elite Eight
ESPN.com
THE MORNING BREW
Selby's long road back to the NBA
Down two points with 40 seconds left against the University of Southern
California, No. 3 Kansas was on the verge of losing its first game of the season and first game at Allen Fieldhouse in more than three-and-a-half years. After a timeout, Marcus Morris had a chance to tie the game, but his shot was off the mark. Markieff Morris gathered in the offensive rebound and kicked the ball back out.
Then, it happened.
Josh Selby happened.
The freshman buried a dramatic 3-pointer — his fifth of the game — to put the Jayhawks up one. Selby led all scorsers with 21 points, and in an instant, he became a fan favorite. However, the rest of his career did not follow in such a storybook fashion.

Selby the top recruit in the nation, ahead of players such as Kyrie Irving and Harrison Barnes. Many figured Selby would leave Kansas for the NBA Draft after one year, which he did despite the fact his season did not go as planned.
Selby scored 15-plus points in four of his first five games as a Jayhawk, but would only reach that total one more time in his next 21 outings. Selby's draft stock plummeted toward the end of the year, as he went from being considered a top-10 pick to potentially going undrafted.
Regardless, Selby declared for the 2011 NBA Draft, where the Memphis Grizzlies selected him with the No. 49 pick. Selby played in just 38 games over two years with the Grizzlies
before being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Selby's time in Cleveland was sho lived, as he would released less than three months la' before playing ' single game.

With the first pick in the draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Wiggins, becoming Kansas' second-ever number one pick — the other was Danny Manning in 1988 by the
Los Angeles Clippers. On Aug. 23, Wiggins was part of a three-team trade that sent him to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Embiid's foot injury didn't dramatically affect his draft status, as the Philadelphia 76ers didn't let him fall past the third pick. He had foot surgery

WWII. A man was killed in a plane crash near the city of New York. The aircraft was an experimental bomber that was designed to be the first commercial jet airliner. It flew over New York City and crashed into Lake Ontario, killing all 35 people on board. It also killed a pilot. It did not fly again.
Mr. Mitchell later wrote:
"In my opinion, the plane crash was a major tragedy. It was the result of a terrible accident that left many lives lost."

COMMENTARY
By Brian Hillix
@DoubleHillix
You've probably heard a variation of it from someone at least once over the past 15 years. The only sport Kansas is good at men's basketball.
While you may have been frustrated every time you heard it, the statement had unfortunate truth to it. From 2000-2010, aside from men's basketball, every other sport underperformed and lacked consistent results. Reaching the postseason was the exception, not the rule.
But when Athletics Director Sheahon Zenger came to Kansas in 2011, he set a lofty, but obvious, goal: He
was going to shatter that reputation.
"When Dr. Zenger came on board as athletics director, one of the things he said immediately was that we want to be good in every sport," said Jim Marchiony, the associate athletics director for public affairs. "He wanted us to represent the University of Kansas the way the University should be represented."
Before the Zenger era began, the results were underwhelming. The women's soccer team won a co-regular season conference championship in 2004, and the baseball and softball teams won their respective conference tournaments in 2006. These three feats marked the only non-men's basketball conference titles in the first decade of the 21st century.
While other athletics directors may have set the same goal, Zenger took immediate steps to make the goal a reality.
Unlike previous athletics directors, Zenger followed through with his promise to improve the school's jaded facilities. This started with the creation of Rock Chalk Park, the new home to the soccer, softball, and track and field programs.
"Ive been here for a long time, I've had a lot of athletics directors and a lot of them have told me [we'd have] a new facility in two years or three years," soccer Coach Mark Francis said. "Well, this is a lot of 'two or three years' later, but I appreciate Dr. Zenger for making this a reality for our players."
The $39 million complex will provide these teams with "outstanding facilities" Marchiony said, something that will attract more athletes to these programs and ultimately lead to better results on the field.
Last season proved promising across the board. According to Marchiony, 11 sports reached the postseason
last year, something he said hasn't happened in quite some time.
"When Dr. Zenger came on board ... he said ... we want to be good in every sport."
JIM MARCHIONY Associate athletics director for public affairs
"His [Zenger's] mantra is that we're not just a basketball school, that everybody else needs to work hard and get out there and make the NCAA tournament and win games," softball Coach Megan Smith said.
Teams have heard his message loud and clear. The baseball team finished third in the Big 12—the highest the team has finished in the 18-year history of the conference—en route to making the NCAA tournament and
winning a game. The softball team also made the NCAA tournament last season for the first time since 2006.
The women's golf team advanced to the NCAA championship for the second time in school history. The men's and women's track and field teams combined had six entries at the NCAA outdoor championships.
"Every sport is working to become better," said sophomore Tayler Soucie, a volleyball player from Osawatomie. "I think it's definitely not a one-sport school anymore. That reputation is changing."
The volleyball team made back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances in 2012-13, including the program's first trip to the Sweet 16. The women's basketball team also made back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances in 2012-13. Before that, the team hadn't even made the NCAA Tournament since 2000.
Kansas may be ditching its status as a one-sport school, but it isn't an athletics powerhouse — yet. The football team still lies in the trenches of the Big 12. The women's basketball team needs to prove that those two postseason appearances weren't a fluke, especially after a down year last season. Other sports like soccer, tennis and cross-country need to prove themselves on the field.
Soucie also noted the national championship won by the women's track team in 2013, which was the University's first non-basketball national championship since 1970. The season also included the team's first indoor and outdoor conference titles in school history.
But at least now, Kansas fans have something to cheer about when it's not basketball season.

'HANDS UP'
ALLISON KITE
@Allie Kite
A small group of KU students, staff and faculty gathered for a demonstration called "Hands Up. Walk Out" on Wescoe Beach yesterday in honor of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old who was killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., on Aug. 9.
The demonstration was part of a national movement organized by Hands Up United, a group that was formed in response to the Ferguson protests. The group has posted a list of demands on its website (www.handsupunited.org) including more accountability for officers' actions, release of those arrested during protests and transparency in police and justice departments across the country.
"It's just trying to raise the voices of people of color, especially black people concerning what's been happening around Ferguson," Gwynn said. "It's raising a conversation that's necessary and isn't talked about enough, and unless we continue talking about, the conversation around it will die out and no change will be made."
As the demonstration went on, more and more members of the community joined. There were about 50 protesters by the end of protest. Those participating put their hands up, demonstrating the nonviolent pose that witnesses have said Brown held when Officer Darren Wilson shot him. Police have said Brown attacked Wilson.
Megan Kaminski, an assistant professor in the department of English, created the event Aug. 24, when she discovered the University did not have a Hands Up United protest scheduled.
"I had some friends in other parts of the country who talked about going to events like this and I looked to see if there was an event like this happening at KU and I saw there wasn't one," Kaminski said.
As part of Monday's event, attendees were invited to stand up and speak about what happened and what they believed. Kaminski said she believes the issues raised by Brown's death are relevant to students.
Katherine Gwynn, a senior from Olathe, said events like "Hands Up, Walk Out" are important because she believes Americans live in a systemically racist society, and these events help point out issues that she thinks need to
"I think sometimes in a university community,we can
"Knowing that I was going into that and knowing that today should have been Mike Brown's first day at class, it made me feel like something needed to be done," Kaminski said. "We needed to get together and create an environment where people can come out and talk and share their frustrations."

Attendees included both faculty and students who stood in solidarity with Michael Brown.
Kaminski added that she felt she needed to do something as an educator.

Sorority recruitment breaks record

Recruitment for this fall is at an all-time high for sororites at the University of Kansas. Associate Director of Student Involvement and Leadership Center, Greek Life and Leadership Programs, Amy Long said over the last three years, registration and participation from students has been increasing by at least 100 students a year. In 2012, 805 women started the recruitment process and in 2013, 932 women did as well.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Members of the University's Kappa Alpha Theta sorority chapter run down to a bus on Mississippi Street on Friday, August 22.
Elizabeth Erker, a senior from Omaha, Neb. and president of Chi Omega, said her chapter was pleased with the large number of participants.
"We were really excited that so many possible new members were able to have such a positive experience," Erker said.
According to Long, 1,038 women registered for sorority recruitment this fall and 1,000 officially participated.
The Panhellenic Association has increased its social media presence with its use of Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
"The Panhellenic Association and Panhellenic chapters have taken a very proactive marketing approach in the last two years to increase interest," Long said.
"Each chapter posted a YouTube video about their chapter for women who were interested," Long said.
In addition to social media, the Panhellenic Association used guidebooks and events to better inform both interested and skeptical women on the experiences involved with sorority recruitment.
As a senior, Erker said her
initial motive for rushing at the beginning of her college experience was the sense of family.
"I felt as though it was an opportunity to shrink the larger college community that is KU and to find a smaller
community that I could be a part of $f_{c}$ Erker said. "Sort of a smaller home away from home"
Long also said she thinks women seek out sororities for a sense of community.
"I believe that women
are finding value in the experience. It's great to see that this experience is still relevant and seen as something important to a woman's college years,"
Following a decision by the University Judicial Board Appeals Panel made on Friday which removed Senate leadership from office, 2013-2014 Student Senate Vice President Emma Halling has taken the role of acting student body vice president. Senators will meet this Wednesday to elect an interim vice president.
Senators who aren't eligible include those who were on-campus senators and now live off campus, those who have graduated, and anyone who was representing a specific school and no longer belong to that school. The entire Jayhawkers coalition is also not eligible to vote, according to Halling.
Halling cited Student Senate Rules and Regulations 1.6.1.1.1. when explaining why the Jayhawkers couldn't vote in the Wednesday meeting. The rule states that:
Interim Senate vice president to be elected Wednesday
"Any student found guilty of an egregious offense by the Elections Commission shall be prohibited from participation in elected or appointed positions within Student Senate for twelve calendar months."
Halling said in a statement released Monday that Senate operations will continue as planned meaning student groups will still be able to apply for and receive funding.
SEE RECRUIT PAGE 7
The senators voting on Wednesday will be those who served last year and are still eligible for their seats.
At Wednesday's full Senate they will also vote to approve the executive staff.
The Elections Commission will also meet Tuesday to set the rules for the upcoming re-election.

Emma Halling, co-chair of the Title IX Roundtable and acting student body president; Angela Murphy, treasurer and development coordinator; and Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins discuss the Campus Accountability and Safety Act on Monday.
Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins met with the Title IX Roundtable Monday afternoon to discuss the Campus Accountability and Safety Act, which addresses sexual assault on campuses.

The Campus Accountability and Safety Act focuses on making universities and students accountable for sexual assault by increasing transparency, creating enforceable penalties and providing more support and resources to victims.
things to look into." She said she hopes that the bill will be voted on this fall.
The University is currently under investigation by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, along with 71 other universities, as part of a look into how sexual assault complaints are handled on campuses. Currently, the University is in compliance with all federal sexual assault laws.
Emma Halling, co-chair of the TITLE I Roundtable and acting student body president, feels that the national attention is important for victims of sexual assault.
Jenkins said that meeting with the Roundtable gave her "ideas for improving and
"We're talking about it a lot more now; it's something we've known about for a while, but now it's entering student language," Halling said.
The Roundtable has discussed providing more resources to victims, like adding more sexual assault nurse examiners and a campus advocate for student victims. Halling said these additional resources are important because they show solidarity.
Angela Murphy, treasurer and development coordinator for the Title IX Roundtable, believes that a main obstacle for sexual assault policies is talking about it.
"This conversation is a conversation that just doesn't
happen and as far as I can tell ... it doesn't happen early enough." Murphy said.
Halling agreed and said that
Erin Barcomb-Peterson director of news and media relations, said that the University is very proactive in taking steps to make students and respondents feel safe on campus.
the University is ahead of the curve in addressing sexual assault, but does think that making the University and students more accountable would improve how sexual assault is handled.
"In terms of campus safety we're not bad, but where bad things happen is off-campus," Halling said. "But the
repercussions don't stop off-campus."
Murphy added that there were issues to address off campus as well, like better lighting on Iowa Street.
"In Lawrence, I know I can't walk home by myself at night." Murphy said.

Start early when planning study abroad trip
PAIGE STINGLEY
@paigestingley
One of the most popular activities on a college student's bucket list is to study abroad at some point during their college career. It seems easy enough in theory, but too many students miss out on studying abroad because they didn't spend enough time planning beforehand.
"It' good for students to come to the Study Abroad Info Center during their freshman year, even if they aren't planning on studying abroad until their junior or senior year, because the center can help figure out a good time period that would best fit in with different majors;" said Jackie Langdon, a senior from Denver and a peer advisor at the Study Abroad Information Center.
Students planning on studying abroad should research their trip at least a year before leaving. The Office of Study Abroad can show students program options for nearly every major.
"I found my program through one of my professors at the business school," said Keertana Chary, a senior from Wichita. "After he told me about it, a peer advisor came and talked to my class about it and the Study Abroad Office was able to give me even more
"I made a last minute decision to study abroad, and the application process took me the longest," said Bailey Goldstein, a senior from Overland Park. "There's a lot that goes into it, and you can't expect to be able to do it all a week before the deadline."
information."
"Students will miss out on going because they are still deciding whether they wanted to go, and won't come into the office until they know they for sure want to, but by that point it's often too late," Langdon said. "They need to come into the office as soon as they even start to consider those possibilities, because they have less options the longer they wait to start planning."
One reason students might not study abroad is because they aren't proactively planning or talking to advisors.
The application deadline for Spring 2015, Winter Break 2015 and Spring Break 2015 is Oct. 1.
After students decide where they want to study, the next step is planning the trip.
"Make sure to set your budget, and budget in different expenditures, including for emergencies," Chary said.
"A lot of students are afraid that studying abroad won't allow them to graduate on time," Langdon said, "but studies have shown that students are twice as likely to graduate on time if they study abroad, and are also more
Students should meet with both a study abroad advisor and their academic advisor. Their academic advisor will be able to help them find scholarships within their own college or department and to decide when will be the best time for them to study
abroad.

Phoenix Project turns abuse cases into art
KRISTA MONTGOMERY
@KansanNews
"I've had two abusers," her story begins. "The first abuser, I was still in school here in Lawrence, going to KU. I met him about a block away at a little bar right down there." The account continues with graphic descriptions of violence. "He hit me so hard that I went flying on the other side of the bed," the woman goes on, listing the abuses committed by her boyfriend, Bear, during the course of their relationship.
This narrative is one of the many nameless, but not faceless, biographies posted on the Willow Domestic Violence Center Blog that recounts relational and physical domestic abuse. The number of survivor testimonies collected by staff at the Willow Domestic Violence Center in Lawrence is growing in light of a new artistic and collaborative endeavor: The Phoenix Project.
The project encourages artists to take the stories posted on the blog and to turn them into artistic work to be presented at a public engagement event next year.
The center is seeking both survivor stories and artists who are willing to create representational pieces of the stories. Chelsea Ren Morton, work program manager for the Willow, said the idea for the event is to encapsulate all art media: video, performance, slam
poetry, music, oil painting, chalk painting, photography, poetry, short stories and cartooning. By using all forms of media, Morton said, the event can engage the public on all learning levels, with the main focus being on the transformation from the stories.
Dailey Tasker, a volunteer advocate for the center since January, said the project is looking for any type of artist to contribute work.
"I believe no one deserves to be afraid of their partner... no one deserves to feel bad or be put in a dangerous situation on a daily basis."
DAILEY TASKER
Volunteer advocate
"Anything that can portray the stories in an interesting manner," said Tasker, a junior from Wichita majoring in visual arts and design. "It's a collaboration, it doesn't have to be classical art. Anything's art."
The project theme is "breaking the silence on relational violence," emphasizing that it takes a community to address and heal the trauma of violence.
Maddison Lynn, project facilitator for Phoenix, says the project is all about empowerment.
"We really want to expand our base, reach a lot of people
and get some open discussion about something that is so isolating and not really talked about in the community," Lynn said.
The problem of domestic violence is underreported, Lynn said.
"It's a problem in this community as well as communities all over. Just think about the amount of women the Willow serves on a yearly basis," Lynn said.
The Willow has more than 1,600 crisis calls and houses approximately 300 women and children annually. The center also offers support services and public education for those experiencing, or supporting someone who is experiencing domestic violence.
Lynn says the center is hoping to empower others to speak up about domestic violence, seek the help they need and help survivors feel as if they are not alone in their situation.
"As a women's studies major, I studied a lot of social change that happened because somebody somewhere gathered a lot of stories in one place," Morton said. "And it moved legislation. It moved communities to healing. It changed the face of the culture."
Morton's motivation behind starting the archive is to not only show people what is happening, but also show the support and healing that can occur when everyone pulls together as a team.
"I'm under the opinion that if
The annual cost of lost productivity due to domestic violence is estimated at $727.8 million with over 7.9 million paid workdays lost per year.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FACTS
Black females experienced intimate partner violence at a rate 35 percent higher than that of white females, and about 22 times the rate of women of other races. Black males experienced intimate partner violence at a rate about 62 percent higher than that of white males and about 22 times the rate of men of other races.

Nearly 1 in 4 American women between the ages of 18 and 65 has experienced domestic violence.

Females ages 18 to 24 and 25 to 34 generally experienced the highest rates of intimate partner violence.
Nearly half of all women and men in the United States have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner in their lifetime (48.4 percent and 48.8 percent, respectively).
From 1994 to 2010, about 4 in 5 victims of intimate partner violence were female. www.thehotline.org
Morton said staff and volunteers who had experienced domestic violence were generally enthusiastic about submitting their stories, especially with the idea that it could encourage others to seek help.
you believe in something, you should act on it," Tasker said. "I believe no one deserves to be afraid of their partner ... no one deserves to feel bad or be put in a dangerous situation on a daily basis."
"Or it could help people realize that this is a problem in our community and we can't ignore it any longer," Morton
said. "This is why people need to support social services and to address these problems ... that no one is necessarily talking about."
Over the next three months, the Phoenix team will be recruiting people to submit stories, artwork and narratives. Morton hopes this will produce a sizeable database for people to access.
"Those inspired by what they see in the database can contact the team and contribute a piece," Morton said.

Ice Bucket Challenge fad will soon fade away
Pete Frates, a 29-year-old former Boston College baseball captain, has been living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS/ Lou Gehrig's Disease) since 2012, and he helped launch the popular ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. But how many of you actually knew that? If you did, then great! I am glad some people actually research why they are pouring a bucket of ice water over their heads before they just go ahead and do it.
Some of you may also want to know why it was an ice bucket challenge in the first place. Why not stick raisins up your nose? Better yet, why not just donate? The reason
for the ice water is actually pretty simple. It was meant to be a punishment for someone who was not planning to donate money towards ALS. The challenge actually did not even originate with people who had ALS. It started on the Golf Channel as a way to donate money to charities that people cared about, and then it led to people donating to the ALS cause.

The problem is people are just pouring ice water on their heads, which does nothing more than raise awareness. Raising awareness is great, but count how many ice Bucket Challenge videos you have watched that truly discuss what ALS is or how it affects

people.
The fad of the ice Bucket Challenge video is just that a fad. It is one that will go away just as 2012's Kony campaign did. Are people going to remember to donate money to charities like ALS after the videos stop appearing on our newsfeeds? Would they have even participated in this challenge if their friends
or favorite celebrities weren't doing so as well?
In a few more years someone else will come up with another fun way to get people to donate to important charities. People should want to give money to charity because it is the right thing to do. They shouldn't feel like they need to show off to all of their Facebook friends.

I understand the ice Bucket Challenge — it's fun, it's different and it gets the message across. Helping raise money for treatment toward diseases, like ALS, is a worthy cause. After all, more than $80 million dollars have been raised in less than a month, according to the ALS
I just can't help but think some people are spending more money on the bag of ice than they are donating. The original intention of this unique challenge may have been good, but I believe it has gotten way off track. It sends the message that social media determines where money should be donated and undermines people's belief in the true cause.

Students must respond to Kobach's challenge at the polls
Come strange
Some strange developments took place in Kansas this summer. There was the GOP Gubernatorial Primary in which a fringe candidate, Jennifer Winn, earned nearly 37 percent of the vote — and only spent a fraction of what Brownback's camp did. Against a candidate without name recognition and a pro-marijuana platform, Brownback should have come out looking uncontested. Instead, Winn tallied up well over a third of the ballots cast in what appears to have been a protest vote by the Governor's own party.
There was also a joint, mass endorsement of a Democrat for governor by more than 100 current or formerly elected Kansas Republicans, the former minority leader in the Kansas House, Paul Davis, Brownback's opponent in this fall's race. Possibly the strangest development of all is how these events inspired a frenzy of recent national news
coverage unusual to Kansas elections.
This November's election results are far from certain. The governor's race may have been enough to make Kansas politics relevant, but it's not the only election you can make a difference in this fall. However, there is one man on a mission to keep you from being that difference — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
Kobach is the nation's trailblazer in protecting his right to prevent voters from not re-electing him. Kansas is taking the lead around the country as a result of Kobach's initiative to, for the first time in history, require proof of citizenship for voter registration as part of a two-tiered voting plan. Kobach's campaign has been built in response to widespread voter fraud, a malady for which he has provided the antidote. Where others may have lacked the steely gumption to attempt such a thinly-veiled
By Clay Cosby
@claycosby
stunt to protect their office at the expense of citizens' rights, Kobach did no such balking.
As it turns out, voter fraud is not quite the threat to life as Kobach has made it seem. The Wichita Eagle pointed out that when Kobach presented evidence supporting the need for the rule change, he found only seven individual cases of fraudulent voting in Kansas over the past 13 years.
The real problem with these new restrictions on voter registration is cruelly ironic. His requirements are poised to cost many people the same right he claims to protect. As a result, many students registering to vote for the first time will face a more
complicated task than they would have in the past.
Evidently, Kobach feels that the real danger of diminishing participation in the democratic process by creating greater obstacles to civic engagement pales next to the imaginary peril of voter fraud. With no evidence to support his claims of widespread voter fraud, Kobach's endgame is clear
The truly frightening part of this "House of Cards" scheme is how most students, the group most affected by the change because they recently became voters, remain unaware of these transgressions.
— to have fewer votes in the ballot box on Election Day. Voter suppression is a telling campaign tactic.
Not everyone has been fooled though, as Kobach has enemies in both parties. In the GOP primary a moderate Republican, Scott Morgan, used his campaign to shed light on Kobach's dubious
behavior, though he did not receive enough support to stop him. We have one last chance for a return to normalcy with Jean Schodorf, another challenger committed to stopping Kobach this time in the general election Nov. 4.
Kobach's plan relies on your unwillingness to respond to his challenge. In the past, student apathy has allowed our representation to be misused and Kobach is counting on students and young people to let that happen again. If we let this misdirection keep us from voting, we will only validate it
When you exercise your right this fall, don't vote for the guy who tried to keep you from showing up. Protect yourself from Kris Kobach and vote.

Olympics strengthen schol hall bonds
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU
For scholarship hall students, Hawk Week isn't just about Night on the Hill. The weekend of move-in day through the following week is also the Scholarship Hall Olympics.
On Aug. 22, all 12 scholarship halls affiliated with the University of Kansas began their first olympic event, a game of assassins, around midnight.
Nicole Wilburn, the Scholarship Hall Complex Director said the events act to bond the scholarship hall students together, who include returning students as well as new students.
"It helps students unite for one cause and talk about their strengths and weaknesses," Wilburn said.
The olympics continue through Sept. 5 and include a variety of options such as sports activities, video games, cooking and more.
Dakota Boyd, a freshman from Overland Park, participated in some of the events including 3-on-3 basketball, sand volleyball and assassins, to get involved with his hall, Grace Pearson.
However, the olympic events are only available to the scholarship hall students, with each hall putting out a team for every event. In the end, one women's hall and one men's hall are crowned as winners.
I came to KU to be involved and it's something I regret that I wasn't in high school. So I decided I'll do as many things as I possibly can," Boyd said.
Lizzie Cox, a sophomore from Mankato, said the events are a great way to get to know everyone in her hall, Margaret Amini, and in other scholarship halls as well. She said it's a nice way to meet new people, see old friends and bond with the people in her hall.
But while the olympics bond the scholarship halls together, the residence hall students are completely
absent from this experience. Students in residence halls do not have these kinds of events and do not participate in the scholarship hall olympics. When asked, very few students who lived in residence halls knew about the scholarship hall olympics.
"We kind of feel, in that sense, a little disconnected from them. We don't really interact much with the [residence] halls but we all pretty much know each other in the [scholarship] hall community," said Carmen Ortiz, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan.
I came to KU to be involved and it's something I regret that I wasn't in high school. So I decided I'll do as many things as I possibly can."
DAKOTA BOYD Freshman from Overland Park
Boyd said he thinks the exclusive events make for a less hectic bonding experience for the scholarship halls.
"I mean, imagine if there's 24,000 people on campus and if even half of them wanted to play, that's 12,000 people wanting to play basketball on one little court," Boyd said.
Ortiz also said that combining groups would be problematic and overwhelming because so many students live in the residence halls.
Joe Sodergren, a freshman from Topeka, currently lives in Ellsworth. He said events like the olympics could open a door to getting to know a variety of peers better if the event were open to both scholarship and residence hall students.
"It's kind of like they have their own thing and we do our own thing." Ortiz said. "It's just the reality of the situation."
However, Ortiz said the integration of groups would be a difficult task.

Nowhere News creator satirizes Lawrence
CODY SCHMITZ
@cody schmitz
@cody_schmitz
With headlines like "Local Bar, The Hawk, to Raise Their Drinking Age to 21" and "New Drug Touted as An Airplane Mode, but for Feelings," it's not hard to see that Nowhere news, an online newspaper based out of Lawrence, is satirical. The publication went live on Aug. 8 of this year.
"I feel like Lawrence kind of brings the best out of people with the art scene and the comedy scene, and I kind
of wanted to put my foot in there," said Jake Frondorf, a senior from Hutchinson and head editor and creator of the publication.
Frondorf has done all of the marketing and web design, and has created a large amount of the website's content.
"I think Nowhere News can work as a channel for positive change in the community. I think satire is a really good way to change someone's perspective without forcing an idea down their throat". Frondorf said.
But Frondorf doesn't work alone. A large portion of his staff is made up of University students and alumni. Sam Lamb, a graduate from Hutchinson, is the managing editor; Jarod Kilgore, a graduate from Lenexa, is a writer; and Mitch Montague, a senior from Topeka, is a writer and video editor. In the future, they hope to share the workload. Frondorf said that as of now he has 20 people on staff as contributors.
Frondorf said that the biggest part of applying to be a contributor is generating headline ideas. "If you can come up with funny headlines, you'll probably be a funny writer," Frondorf said.
If students don't want to become writers or even contributors, Nowhere News still wants their input. Students can send headline, video and other content ideas to Nowhere News even if they have no interest in becoming a writer.
A common question readers may have is simply, why the name Nowhere News?
"It is named after the news"
paper in "Courage the Cowardly Dog." Frondorf said. "They live in Nowhere, Kansas, and I thought Nowhere News is an evocative name. That describes Kansas very well."
As Nowhere News grows, Frondorf and his team hope to make a positive impact on the Lawrence and KU community. "It's the kind of thing that brings Lawrence together," Frondorf said. "I want to give back to Lawrence."

New 'Sin City' sports style but little punch
By Alex Lamb
@lambcannon
"Sin City" remains one of the best achievements of a film truly looking and feeling like a comic book, with violence so extreme it can get cartoony, highly animated sets and a stylized black and white palette punched up with occasional splashes of color. Those elements are still the same, but in the nine years it took for the sequel to come to life, the mojo that made the first so potent seems to have been lost.
While many of the original players return for this second set of violent and gritty tales maxing out on film noir indulgences, the problems with "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" begin with the wicked cool Clive Owen not reprising his role of bad boy Dwight. Instead, Josh Brolin fills in with a hard-headed, uncharismatic performance that lacks the slickness, which made the character such a badass in the first place.
The other Frank Miller sequel this year, "300: Rise of an Empire," also faced the issue of an unengaging lead. Both films helped balance this out with a delicious villainess performance from former Bond woman Eva Green. As the titular dame, she's a femme fatale with dastardly plans, embroiling Dwight in a classic film noir setup that escalates with growing violence. Green is a powerful figure, who clearly has the most fun in the cast as she manipulates men and shows off her body.
Like the first film, this "Sin City" is made up of three full stories and a short one to open it, each focused on different characters — some of whom overlap in the other narratives. This worked extremely well when the segments were of about equal length and each act of the film was a full story. Here the pacing lacks such momentum, as "A Dame to Kill For" takes about an hour of the runtime and is only sometimes entertaining, although always visually interesting.
Its big finale disappoints too with the action feeling slapped together and a weak conclusion, further proof co-director Robert Rodriguez has lost his whiz-bang master touch.
The opening with Marv (Mickey Rourke), the hulking killer who leaves a swab of destruction wherever he goes, proves a fun way to give the fan favorite his due. Throughout the rest of the movie he only sporadically shows up for a few quips to fight and to kill henchmen with the other main characters, much of that violence being lazily executed.
The most successful, tightly wound and least over-the-top segment finds Johnny (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a cocky gambler who never loses, challenging the most powerful and corrupt man in the city, Senator Roark (Powers Boothe), in a game of poker. After winning, he has to face Roark's vindictive and nasty backlash, while his brazen integrity keeps him pushing back. Gordon-Levitt elevates everything he's in, and the David and Goliath angle makes this a satisfying investment.
The final story starts strong but, unsurprisingly, ends with a hollow assault of revenge against lots of bad guys. Nancy (Jessica Alba), Sin City's favorite stripper who Hartigan (Bruce Willis) saved in the first film, has become a drunk and obsesses over avenging Hartigan by killing Roark. The dark places this one goes at first, as Nancy crawls into her own deteriorating psyche and argues with Ghost Willis, prove dramatically captivating and poignant. But then Miller decided to throw that away with a silly (and ineffectual) action sequence that totally contradicts the "Sin City" timeline.
There are still things worth seeing in this messy city and stories worth telling, but altogether, they just add up to a disappointing return to a place where you've already experienced the best parts.

"I thought that there was a lot of victim blaming going on,
feel like we're isolated from this, but... this is very much a real part of people's lives and I think sometimes we don't like to have difficult conversations," Kaminski said. "I also think it was important that everyone got to speak and express their feelings about it. That's why I made it more open."
Students like Austin Fisher, a senior from Lawrence, have been getting involved in the Ferguson story through other protests as well. Fisher helped organize a small protest on Aug. 17, where attendees used the human microphone, a protest tactic used in Occupy Wall Street in which the audience repeats parts of a speaker's speech for greater emphasis.
and I thought there were a lot of statements being made that were distracting from the real issue," Fisher said.
Fisher said the Aug. 17 protest was not limited to the killing of Michael Brown but also included police actions following including the release of Officer Darren Wilson's name, the footage of what happened and the treatment of journalists and peaceful protesters.
"The injustice wasn't just limited to the death of Michael Brown and the point of the protest wasn't just limited to the death of Michael Brown," Fisher said. "The point of the protests was to tell people, 'hey, this is a national issue. This issue has been a problem for the 400-year history of this country."

"Just because I didn't join a sorority doesn't mean that I can't be friends with the girls that I connected with," Tubbs said.
Madison Tubbs, a freshman from Colby, participated in recruitment this fall and although she didn't connect with every sorority, she made lasting friendships.
Tubbs was offered a bid and declined but said she is glad she experienced it.
"I think that it's a good opener into the year because you have to be able to make conversation with people," Tubbs said. "It helps you with answering questions that people are going to ask you a lot over the next three or four weeks or even probably your whole college career."

Daily Debate makes debut in sports section
Predicting the unpredictable
By Brian Hillix
@DoubleHillix
THE DAILY DEBATE
The Daily sports
Will Kansas football improve its win total from last season?
The Daily Debate hopes to accomplish two things: give you multiple perspectives to a story and help you craft your own opinions.
but that's part of the fun. For each Daily Debate, two writers strive to prove their own argument while rebutting the other side.
sports section will now include a new feature: The Daily Debate. For this section, Kansan sports writers will debate trending sports topics at the University and across the globe. This will become a staple along with the Morning Brew section.
This section also involves you.
In the sports world, so many things can happen—injuries, a player emerges, a team has a bad day. Opinions formed from the most detailed analysis of facts and statistics are often proved wrong.
We encourage you to read each writer's take and decide who has the most convincing argument by voting online at Kansan.com. Voting will be available until 9 p.m. that day. Results from the previous day's Daily Debate will be posted in the next print edition of the Kansan.

"YES"
Let's start by looking at the schedule. The Jayhawks have at least seven winnable games against Southeast Missouri State, Central Michigan, Texas, West Virginia, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Texas Christian University. All of those games are home games, besides playing in Morgantown, W. Va., on Oct. 4. Kansas defeated West Virginia last year to break a 27-game Big 12 Conference losing streak and should be able to do so again on the road.
The overall strength of this team will lie with its defense. Isaiah Johnson, the reigning Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year, leads a talented secondary that forced nine interceptions last year. With a full offseason of conditioning and practice, those numbers should only improve.
The entire defense is anchored by senior linebacker Ben Heeney, who is serving as one of three captains for the Jayhawks. Heeney should be in line
for a monster season after leading the Kansas defense in tackles over the past two seasons. Heeney makes the players around him better and should strongly contend for All-American honors in his final season.
On the other side of the ball, however, there are more question marks. The aforementioned season-ending injuries to Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox have left the running back cupboard incredibly bare.
"I always thought I was going to play running back in college... so if they need me, I'm on call."
getting some carries.
BEN HEENEY
Senior linebacker
This leaves the door open for talented newcomers DeAndre Mann and Corey Avery to make their marks on the season. Mann, a junior-college transfer from Hartnell College, and Avery, a freshman from Dallas, both have outstanding athleticism and can combine to replace the monumental production left behind by former running back James Sims.
The running back position can be further bolstered by the possibility of Heeney
"I'd love to play both ways," Heeney said at last Wednesday's press conference. "I always thought I was going to play running back in college instead of defense, so if they need me, I'm on call."
The quarterback position should be much improved this season. Montell Cozart, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., is a much more dynamic player than Dayne Crist or Jake Heaps ever were. He can beat defenses as a runner and as a passer, and should be a great fit for new offensive coordinator John Reagan's scheme. He also has great weapons at wide receiver in senior Nick Harwell and junior Rodriguez Coleman, as well as senior tight end Jimmy Mundine who's on the watch list for the Mackey Award, which goes to the best tight end in the nation.
All of these factors should contribute to a good season for the Jayhawks. Kansas probably will not go to a bowl game, but it should be competitive in every game and have a chance to win at least five games, which is more than the three games the Jayhawks won last season.

“NO”
Kansas football has been quite dysfunctional since former coach Mark Mangino resigned in 2009. Turner Gill's two years set the program back and Charlie Weis is still working to tidy the remnants of the past regime.
When Charlie Weis arrived in 2012, he brought in an astounding 15 players from junior colleges for immediate impact thanks to falling back in recruiting which led to a depleted roster. There are currently seven starters on this year's roster that were juniorcollege commits from the 2013 class, making up about half of this year's 13 senior starters.
While Weis and company are working hard to improve this year, I don't see them winning more than three games and surpassing their win total from last season.
Last season, Kansas' offense averaged 15.3 points per game last year, according to KUAthetics.com. Kansas ended the season ranked 121 of 124 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision, according to ESPN.com.
While Kansas gained one playmaker in transfer Nick Harwell from Miami-Ohio University, the team got substantially weaker on what was arguably its strongest position — running back — when it lost Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox to season-ending injuries before the start of the season this year.
This places the responsibility on the receivers whose catch rate stood at 40.2 percent, according to SBNation.com. last season, and the shuffling of quarterbacks certainly played a part, but it still doesn't point to optimistic signs of an improved offense.
While the defense made some huge strides (improving to 94th in points allowed in 2013 from 112th in 2012, according to ESPN.com), the other Big 12 offenses still haven't taken much of a step back even with a few talented quarterbacks exiting the league.
For this team to eclipse its win total from last season, Cozart and the receivers need to take a significant step forward. However, with a depleted backfield and a lack of experienced, proven playmakers, the defense just won't be able to compensate for a well below average offense.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Playing with the U.S. national team has given me a great connection with the American fans, and I'm looking forward to playing in front of them every weekend."
Jermine Jones mlssoccer.com
FACT OF THE DAY
Jermaine Jones is the third marquee U.S. national team player to join MLS in the last year, Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley being the other two.
Washington Post
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Jermaine Jones scored a goal in the United States' World Cup game against Portugal. What was the final score of that game?
A:2-2
THE MORNING BREW
New England Revolution signs US National Team player Jermaine Jones
The wait for Jermaine Jones to sign with an MLS team is finally over, and it ended just as bizarrely as it started. The 33-year-old defensive midfielder is heading to the New England Revolution after being allocated to the team in a "blind draw" Jones had previously played for FC Schalke 04 in Germany, and even more recently for Turkish club Besiktas, but did not sign a new contract after the previous season.
By Skyler Rolstead
@SkyRolSports
Speculation that Jones would join an MLS team finally ended with New England's addition. The defensive midfielder was expected to join an MLS team for at least the past two months. NBC Sports reported at the beginning of August that he was close to joining the Chicago Fire. Jones tweeted on a couple occasions that rumors that he had turned down offers from Chicago were not completely correct. At the time it was reported he had turned down a two and a half year deal worth $6 million, according to Goal USA.
Goal USA also reported that the Revolution will pay Jones $4.5 million
per year over the rest of the 2014 season as well as the 2015 season with an option for another year.
With the United States in this summer's World Cup, Jones had an amazing tournament. His goal against Portugal in the group stage might have won the match for the U.S. if not for Silvestre Varela's last-gasp goal to tie.
Jones is one of many notable United States national team players to join MLS teams recently. Clint Dempsey's blockbuster deal with Seattle in 2013 made him the highest paid player in the league, a deal worth $32 million over four years according to ESPN —
the same amount David Beckar was paid with the LA Galaxy.
USA midfielder Michael Bradl joined Toronto FC before the beginning of this season for $6 million per year, according to ESPN. MLS does not disclose salary amounts, so these num are not positively correct, but reliable based on the outlets report them.
Jones joined New England as a result of a "blind draw" conducted by league officials, according to MLS-soccer.com. The draw was between Chicago Fire and New England, the two teams willing to offer him a contract. This is a new player allocation mechanism in MLS.
MLS rules state that a U.S. national team player is allocated to a team by the allocation ranking, which puts teams in a certain order and gives the top team first right of refusal to sign the player, like the NFL draft. MLS teams can trade these allocation rankings for players, money, or other things. The Bradley and Dempsey
THE BREW
signings ignored the allocation anking, and compted LS to add designatedayers of a tain threshold determined League - are object to allocation ranking" to the rulebook. Designated players are players whose contracts do not count against the cap, and each team can sign three of these players.
MLS had to bend the rules once again to make a huge signing, but New England will improve greatly if Jones is anything like what he was for the United States during this year's World Cup.

New coach helps cross-country team prepare for season
JOEY ANGUIANO
@KansanSports
While the season doesn't start for the University of Kansas cross-country team until this Saturday, Aug. 30, the team has been hard at work all summer. A new strength coach, Jeff Kipp, assisted coaches Stanley Redwine and Michael Whittlese
with training the athletes this summer and its led to fantastic results so far.
"I think Jeff will come in and make an immediate impact on the team, and help us get to the next level," Redwine said at fall sports media day.
Redwine also discussed the impact the new facilities at Rock Chalk Park had on the team since it opened last
spring for the Kansas Relays.
"People were still talking about the experience, and how nice it [Rock Chalk Park] was." Redwine said. "Recruits talk to me about Rock Chalk Park. It's a great place to be."
With the state of the art facilities, the team is looking to compete on that kind of level as well. The team's goals include not only performing
well in the conference and the region, but on an NCAA postseason caliber.
With a young team on the women's side that features no seniors, the team is looking to the juniors and sophomores for leaders on and off the track to try to accomplish their goals.
"All eyes are on nationals"
junior Evan Landes said.
One of those juniors is Haley Francis, who feels she needs to perform well at the Big Twelve Championships.
"Rim Rock is a great course, and when you're running on your home course, you want to do really well, especially with such big stakes like a conference championship," Francis said.
As the teams gear up for this
weekend's Bob Timmons Dual Classic on Aug. 30, look out for fresh young faces hoping to impress the coaches with their first meet of the season, and possibly their careers.

COMMENTARY
Season-ending injuries hurt football teams
By Blair Sheade
@RealBlairSheady
Before the start of each football season, fans and media speculate about how teams will compete during the course of the season with the projected depth chart, but there is one aspect of the game that people can never estimate — season-end injuries.
Season-ending injuries occur in football all the time, but it's still sad to see, because all of the hype of the player leading up to the season is diminished.
Football is especially different because injuries to certain positions can affect the whole season. Kansas fans have seen curveballs early this season as the top two running backs, Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox, will miss the remainder of the season due to injuries. Their season was over before it even started, which is sad because all the hard work those players put in in the weight room and on the field has gone to waste.
Seasoning-ending injuries, especially to key players, take the wind out of the sail for football programs, and not only in the college programs. This happens in the professional world, as well. Fans still get their hopes up on certain players and then those hopes are dashed when they get injured.
This has been seen within the Kansas program, too. The media hyped up Bourbon and Cox prior to the season as the dual-set backfield, which means the two backs would share carries. Now that both are out for the season, they must be replaced. Who will take over for them, and can they produce just as well as the starters?
St. Louis Rams fans have seen this recently when former starting quarterback Sam Bradford injured his left knee during a preseason game against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Bradford will miss the remainder of the season. This was Bradford's second injury to his left knee in the past two seasons. After the media reported on how Bradford came back strong from a torn ACL in 2013, another season-ending injury left Rams fans in a shadow of disappointment once again.
The injuries that occur during training camp or in fall practice leading up to the season will open up opportunities for other players to step into the spotlight. Within Kansas' football program, offensive coordinator John Reagan will have to find replacements for Bourbon and Cox.
CREAM OF THE CROP
Football teams are flexible, but when a team loses a player who might make or break a season, it's hard to look past those injuries, and teams ultimately suffer. On the other hand, fans will be playing the "what if" ga me the whole season and that leaves fans uneasy.

MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
If it were up to outside hitters Chelsea Albers and Sara McClinton — both Nebraska natives and the only two seniors on the Kansas volleyball team — there would be no seniors or freshmen, just returners and newcomers.
Both Albers and McClinton, along with their returning teammates, made that choice in a meeting with Coach Ray Bechard, who spoke about leadership on media day.
"They made the decision last spring that there aren't freshmen, but newcomers, and there aren't seniors, but returners," Bechard said. "So I thought that was a high level step in leadership right there, and I know that (Tayler) Soucie, (Tiana) Dockery and Cassie Wait were involved in
that decision, as was Maggie (Anderson), too. So that was a high level of leadership by your returners, and certainly Chelsea and Sara are driving that bus"
The emphasis of that decision from the two seniors and other returners is to show that anyone can be a leader on this team, not only certain players.
It may puzzle some to see Albers and McClinton give away their seniority so freely, but this shows just how past leadership has molded them. After losing seven seniors from last season, the two remaining seniors this year quickly became aware it would take everyone to help.
Although it's believable that all of Kansas' players will exhibit some kind of leadership during the season, the team will still need Albers and McClinton to perform at a high
level. Each was named to the All-Big 12 Preseason Team after being named to the All-Big 12 First Team last season.
Beachard said their experience from the NCAA Tournament last season will be especially important.
"I would rather have the team winning as a whole than a personal success of making another 45 kills."
SARA MCCLINTON Senior outside hitter
"That's going to be key because in crunch time, it always seems like it comes down to an outside taking a big swing, in a big moment," Bechard said. "I know they want to make their own path after
a large class cleared out last year. I think it does hopefully drive them and give them the motivation they need, for Chelsea and Sara specifically, to have a type of senior year that we'll remember for a long time."
Both Albers and McClinton will have to put up similar, if not better, stats than last season in order to successfully lead this team, but the pressure to do so isn't weighing on the duo.
"I don't think there's pressure, I think it's a matter of me stepping into a different role that I'm not used to," Albers said. "I think the most important thing for me is to accomplish all the goals that our team needs to accomplish. That I need to talk and I need to perform well."
McClinton also put team goals ahead of her own. She is
nearing the 1,000-kill plateau for her career, but that doesn't matter as much as helping the team.
"I'll probably hit that during these preseason tournaments, but that's kind of a side factor," McClinton said. "I would rather have the team winning as a whole than a personal success of making another 45 kills."
Albers and McClinton now have a chance to become the winningest players in program history if the team can win at least 25 games this season (as the team has accomplished the last two seasons). No Kansas team has won 25-plus games in three straight seasons since 1976-78.

Salazar brings experience to Kansas
In 2012, Salazar utilized her redshirt season after her and her coaches decided it
BEN CARROLL
@KansanSports
Salazar is a midfielder and has already logged more than 3,200 minutes, netting eight shots and adding four assists with the jayhawks in her two seasons.
The University's soccer team will look to other players to fill the void of losing one its top offensive players from last season, Caroline Kastor, who scored six goals and three assists. One of those players is All-Big 12 First Team-elect Liana Salazar.
Salazar, a redshirt junior from Bogotá, Colombia, has played in three World Cups for Colombia and also drew a start against the U.S. at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany.
Salazar said playing on the international stage taught her a lot about the game, knowledge she brought back to America and shared with her teammates.
"I bring experience and I'm always relaxing before a game because I've played a lot of games," Salazar said. "I always soaked it in and told myself this is one more game; it's nothing different."
"If they don't understand something I can tell them where and how they have to move," Salazar said. "I can show them how it's better for them."
Salazar has also learned how to be a leader and how to help her teammates learn and make adjustments on the field during a match.
was in her best interest after representing her native Colombia in the Olympics. After starting all 20 games last season and averaging 79.4 minutes, she is poised for a breakout season at the new 2,500-seat venue at Rock Chalk Park.
"Every time I step on the field I always bring my 100 percent," she said. "Push them to make the All-Big 12 team this year and continue to encourage them."
After being named to the All-Big 12 First Team at the end of last season, Salazar says her teammates can learn a lot from her and all they need to do to receive the same honor is to keep working hard.
Coach Mark Francis hinted at the fact that this team's offense will be better than previous teams and to look for Salazar to be a leader of the new offense.
"We're playing a different formation that we've never played before," Francis said. "It's a formation that's going to allow us more offense, and we've already seen it in the exhibition game we won 3-0. I think you're definitely going to see a lot more offense out of this group."
Francis also added that he introduced the new formation to center around the group of players the team has now to better suit them.
"As a soccer coach, you base your formation off of the players you have," Francis said. "It's based off of the strengths of the players you have and that's how we've formed this system."

Sigma Chi fraternity fire emphasizes importance of Campus Fire Safety Month

The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Department arrived at Sigma Chi fraternity Tuesday at 11:36 a.m. after dispatch received a call about a fire at 11:33 a.m. The Fire Department gave the all-clear at 12:30 p.m.
No injuries were reported and all residents were evacuated safely.
"Investigation has revealed the fire was accidentally started due to improperly disposed smoking materials." Division Chief Shaun Coffey said.
Coffey said the fire started in a two-person sleeping dorm connected to a living area in the back of the threestory fraternity, damaging the building's exterior. The damage is estimated at $150,000.
A majority of the 74-member fraternity house, located in the 1400 block of Tennessee Street, has been turned over to the fraternity. The other section is still under investigation.
When officials arrived at the scene, all occupants were already evacuated. Additional units and an aerial truck were requested, Coffey said. Ten fire medical units and 29 personnel assisted in controlling the fire.
"We want to remind people to properly dispose their
smoking materials in a proper device and make sure you have working smoke detectors," Coffey said.
"Always be aware of what you're doing." King said. "It's imperative to know your surroundings."
King emphasizes the importance of staying near food that's cooking and never cooking or grilling near any
"A lot of students are coming to school for the first time and are used to having someone follow them around and take care of certain things," said Jim King, chief of Lawrence's fire prevention division.
There are many situations that can lead to fires, but King offers a few pieces of advice that should apply in every situation.

flammable objects. It is also important to be careful with candles and to extinguish them before leaving a room.
This month, Gov. Sam Brownback signed a proclamation declaring September as Campus Fire Safety Month. This is the third consecutive year Brownback has made this declaration in Kansas in response to the National Campus Fire Safety Month campaign.

hall, apartment complex or house.
"The complex is protected by full sprinkler systems inside of each unit," Wilcoxson said. "The only fires we've had here were two grease fires."
Wilcoxson cautioned students to be careful with things like dryer lint traps and candles, with his main advice being, "don't leave things unattended."
In addition, King stresses the importance of checking the
batteries in smoke detectors and not tampering with them.
"Make sure that you're aware of and you take care of smoke detection devices," King said. "They are early warning devices and they are extremely effective when used correctly. Don't turn them off or take the batteries out of them for any reason."
Kathy Nguyen, a senior from Garden City, has a personal experience that shows how easily an accident can happen.
"I forgot to put water in my macaroni and cheese when I was cooking it. When I turned around, it was smoking and the fire alarms started going off,"

No new coalitions allowed in Student Senate re-election
F
The Elections Commission met Tuesday evening to determine the rules of the upcoming Student Senate re-election. The re-election would happen at the same time of the Freshman election on Sept. 9 and 10. This election would be only between candidates that were not disqualified during last spring's election. No new coalitions can be formed.
Daisy Hill construction cuts into parking
The parking lot in front of Ellsworth Hall is usually full because of the construction on Daisy Hill, which eliminated two Housing lots. Students who can't find a spot here must park at the Lied Center, across Iowa Street.
Mark Pacey, chair of the Elections Commission, said that this election will be an extension of the spring election, and not an entirely new election. He said that eligible coalitions do not need to re-caucus or re-file. Pacey said that if a senator qualifies last year when they ran, and they are still a student at the University, they are still eligible.
Eligible coalitions can begin certain campaign practices immediately.
The main issue still facing the Commission is voter eligibility. The commission will contact graduated seniors through their University email accounts and give them access to re-cast their vote. Pacey also said that freshmen would not be able to vote in the re-election, and would be able to vote only in the freshman elections held every year at this time. The Commission said that this is still an ongoing process with the University's information

When Kennedy Schnieders lived in Ellsworth last year, she never expected to feel unsafe walking from her car to her dorm room. This all changed after she had to start parking at the Lied Center when the construction on Daisy Hill began last spring.

"Being a girl and sometimes coming home late, I never felt safe because I would have to cross the bridge [over Iowa Street] and would oftentimes call someone to come get me."
beginning of the construction, this is the first time the University has been unable to accommodate students living on the Hill.
Donna Hultine, Director of KU Parking and Transit, explained what the University
is doing to accommodate students affected by the construction.
"We ran a lottery process," Hultine said. "Anyone who was living on Daisy Hill got an email about the lottery, and any students who went through
new student orientation were informed about it. Students had to be living on Daisy Hill and have a car to be a part of lottery process."
Students who were hopeful for a parking permit on Daisy Hill needed their names on the

300E), Hultine said. After the first 715 spots were chosen, 163 people were left. Out of that group, 75 were chosen to receive a parking spot at Stouffer Place Apartments. The remaining 88 were given the option to buy a parking pass for yellow lots only (lots 50, 206, 222 and 300 sections A-D). Overall, 878 students were on the waitlist for parking.
"All students were left with somewhere to go, even if the yellow zone was the only option," Hultine said. "There are quite a few spaces on 300E (Lied Center), so we're preparing an email to send to all students who have Daisy Hill permits informing them of this and to circle the lots on map to show them where permits are valid, especially because housing staff hasn't been able to get to their spots on Daisy Hill because students have been parking in them."
Lexi Riedel, a freshman from Shawnee who lives in Ellsworth, said she also feels like she's been affected by the construction.
"The parking is already a huge issue," Riedel said. "Finding a parking spot is next to impossible. I think the lottery process was not necessarily fair, but I'm not sure if there would have been any other way of achieving a decision"
Riedel said she felt the process was unfair since out-of-state students had to wait until shortly before school began to know whether or not they could bring their cars, which made planning difficult.
Although Hultine said that lot 300E is the closest parking to Daisy Hill for students who don't have a Daisy Hill permit, Riedel said the distance is an inconvenience.
"When parking, you have to expect beforehand that you might not even find a spot, or if you're lucky enough to find one, you still might have to walk awhile to your dorm," she said.
Hultine explained that even after construction is over, the likelihood of the lottery process disappearing is slim.
"This won't go away." Hultine said. "Next year's students will have to be informed about the limited parking when signing up for residence hall's. There is no new parking associated with the construction."
According to the 2014- 2024 Campus Master Plan, parking will be provided for the two new residence halls after McCollum is demolished.
Travis Kesinger, a sophomore from Topeka who lived in Ellsworth last year, said the construction was an issue when he lived on Daisy Hill.
FIRE FROM PAGE 1
"It was definitely frustrating, especially if you drove anywhere late at night," Kesinger said. "It seemed all impossible to find a spot then. I don't feel like it affected my experience as a freshman particularly because I didn't drive a lot. I would walk if at all possible."
Hultine said she realizes removing parking spaces presents a problem for students; however, she said the University will allocate as many spaces as possible.

Nguyen said.
After this experience and one at a friend's residence when an oven pizza started burning, Nguyen said checking where fire extinguishers are and knowing how to use them prepares you if a fire occurs.
While preventing fires is desired, it is equally important to know what to do in the event of a one. For those who live off campus, King suggests knowing multiple ways to exit the building as fires can make your normal path of entry and exit unusable.
"If there is an actual fire, after calling 911, the protocol is to call me first and then call the rest of the managers. Then our community assistant teams would knock on doors," Wilcoxson said. "Coordination is big. You have to direct traffic, keep people away so the fire department can actually come in, because when they come in, they come in with, you know, six trucks."
According to the KU student housing website, all residence hall staff members receive annual training provided by Lawrence Fire and Medical staff. This training includes prevention, response procedures and proper extinguisher use. All on-campus living areas provide fire safety programs designed to educate residents on fire prevention, as well as what to do in the event of a fire.

The Commission also decided that there would be no physical polling places and that the majority of the voting would be electronic. Additionally, the Commission set a new spending cap for the coalitions at $1100. This includes all spending from last spring's election. The coalitions are also allowed to use campaign materials from last spring's election, including t-shirts, buttons and banners.
Pacey said there has been no contact between the Elections Commission and the Appeals Panel.
"if they have an issue with what we're doing, I would love for them to contact me, but I'm not going to approach them. I feel like everything we've done is reasonable." Pacey said.
The meeting started with Pacey's election to the chair of the Commission. He had been serving as acting chair — due to the resignation of Jake Rapp
and as of Tuesday's meeting he is now the official chair.
he is now the official chair. Pacey, who is currently pursuing a Ph.D., has been at the University since 2002 and said he's never seen anything like this in his time with Senate.
Tyler Childress, acting chief of staff, received a call from Senate advisors on Friday. He was the chief of staff under former Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler and is now in his first year of law school at the University.
Childress, along with former Student Body Vice President Emma Halling, will continue Senate operations during the campaign and elections.
Childress said that he won't be working on platforms or initiatives but wants to make sure
that day-to-day Senate operations continue.
"we're trying to do basically nothing, policy wise, we're trying to do nothing longstanding. It's just making sure that the process going forward will still be able to fund student groups," Childress said.
Childress' main focus is making sure that the Senate continues to exist within the next three weeks.
Salt away the nice stock.
"Just making sure that there is a structure that can be handed off to whoever wins next week," Childress said.
The 2013-2014 Senate will resume Wednesday night and will vote to approve of Said and Wagner's hired executive staff and vote on an interim student body vice president.
Senators from last year who ran as Jayhawkers in the spring will not be allowed to vote because of S.S.R.R. 5,16.1.1. which does not allow for a senior who has committed an egregious violation to participate in Student Senate for twelve calendar months.
"Basically, since they nullified that election, those people are no longer eligible to assume those positions, which means we default to pre-joint Senate, which means that all of us that handed off the baton, just got the baton handed back to us." Childress said.
Morgan Said, the winner of the spring presidential election as a candidate for Grow KU, said the coalition plans to run again in the re-election.
"When we ran in the spring together it's because we had common ideologies and I don't think those have changed. Everyone on our slate is well aware of what's going on and now that we know more of the guidelines for this re-election, we'll be able to re-engage." Said said.
MacKenzie Oatman of Jayhawkers and Kevin Hundelt of Crimson and True could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening.

Ferguson forum characterized by race, media
ALLISON KITE
@Allie_Kite
The underlying theme throughout Tuesday's open forum about Ferguson was race: how children of different races are taught to trust police, how people of different races are treated by the police and how the media portrays people of different races.
ALEXANDER SCHWARTZ
Associate Professor Clarence Lang wraps up the Ferguson forum Tuesday in Spooner Hall. Members of the University and Lawrence community came together for a discussion about the events in Ferguson, Mo., over the past two weeks, led by Lang, who works with the African and African-American Studies departments.
The open forum was held in The Commons at Spooner Hall on Tuesday. The event allowed attendees to voice their opinions about what has happened in Ferguson, Mo. and what they could do to help, similar to the Aug. 25 demonstration, "Hands Up, Walk Out."
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
"I think that, in part, we're having a conversation more so ... because of the media's role."
CLARENCE LANG Associate professor of American and African & African-American studies
Clarence Lang, associate professor of American studies and African & African-American studies led the discussion. In his introduction, Lang said the situation in Ferguson brought several things he said he believes to be issues into light including the criminal justice system and police methods.
The audience discussion began by calling into question some of the actions of media. While some said they believed the media's coverage of
Ferguson was contributing to issues of race in the story, others said the media coverage brought the issues into light to be discussed.
Omar Rana, a junior from Tulsa, Okla., majoring in history, said he believes the media tends to associate certain types of crime with particular races and gives the benefit of the doubt to whites.
Lang said he believes the role of the media in the case of Ferguson has been a productive one.
"I think the media's role — as it always is — is both problematic, but also it can be creative. It can be productive," he said. "It at least gives some exposure, and I think that, in part, we're having a conversation more so than we have in some time about the militarization of the police, in part because of the media's role."
Amanda Wright, a graduate student and graduate assistant in Student Conduct and Community Standards said she has noticed a difference between the way white children and black children are raised to perceive the police. She said she believes white people have an assumption that police officers are above the law and above other citizens while black people are brought up with less trust for police.
"I think there are issues in our entire system based on this misconceived notion that the men that are wearing the badges and carrying the guns know better than everyone else and do better than everyone else when we know, in reality, and in statistics, they don't," Wright said.
She said she believes it's important for her as a white person to understand that she has a different perception and level of trust for police than others may have.
"I have to be willing to challenge those perceptions when they come up." Wright said.
One of the attendees who refused to give her name said Michael Brown's death wasn't at the hands of the Ku Klux Klan or someone openly racist. She said racism isn't about extremists, but rather normal people who think of themselves as
good. She said people like this reinforce racial problems without actively trying.
She also said she is frustrated with "white progressives" responding to the conflict in Ferguson. She said she's frustrated with the idea that people who spend the majority of their time around other white people believe they can reach a place of understanding with black people concerning Ferguson. She encouraged white progressives to think about "how they are implicated" in the recent events.
Maxwell Moore, a junior from Gardner, majoring in English, said he was frustrated and felt he was being told how he could and couldn't feel for the people of Ferguson because he is white.
"I understand my unjust and unfair privilege," Moore said. "I will say that it hurts a lot that segregated persecution has to lead to segregated consolation. I ache for the people that are going through what they're going through in Ferguson. My heart hurts, not as much as the people who are related to or know Michael Brown or
the people that are being persecuted unjustly. But it hurts my heart, and it's not fair that I'm told that I'm not allowed to feel that way."
The open forum, which wrapped up around 1 p.m. was sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Student Union Activities.
Lawrence support for Ferguson will continue at 7:30 p.m. Thursday with a vigil and rally at Saint Luke AME Church at Ninth and New York streets.

Professors growing soft on lack of student preparation
During finals week last year I overheard someone talking to
someone talking to his friends about how he had no idea what he was supposed to have learned for one of his finals. I chuckled, knowing that is a feeling we all experience every now and then. But it left me to wonder how many people were going into finals with the same problem.
Before entering college, I wondered how much harder and demanding class would be compared to high school. I imagine that for most people,high school wasn't the toughest of academic experiences.I thought a
university it would be far more challenging. I learned if you want to work hard there are many ways to be challenged at KU, but it has become easier to avoid being challenged in the classroom. It's amusing to think back to the past three years at the University and realize how easy it would have been to have learned nearly nothing in so many classes.
At an institution whose existence is mostly dedicated to educating students, it's saddening to watch how the art of teaching has degraded to accommodate the desires of our generation (a generation that looks to

get the most out of the least amount of work). Grade inflation, the abundance of study guides and way too many extra credit opportunities contribute to a lack of work ethic among students.
平
Students today are figuring out how to efficiently get good grades with the least amount of effort. Of course, much of today's job market makes it a point to put higher value on final grades than the material learned. In doing so, however, attending
a university for the sake of learning loses importance and students graduate with only a vague idea of what their degree really means. The way we understand education is changing to look more like the pursuit of a degree rather than the pursuit of knowledge.
So I'd like to propose something to professors, something simple I think would radically change the learning experience for many students. Ask more questions in class and demand answers.
Too many times have I been in classes where professors ask questions the first few days and then
give up a week later due to lack of student preparation. Forcing students to speak in class (something which I've experienced only with the best professors) requires us to be prepared. Though we groan at the idea, I believe it is among the best ways to demonstrate understanding, especially in a place where we pay thousands of dollars for the purpose of understanding.

Lawrence Southwind Theater needs improvement
In 1998, Disney's "Mighty Joe Young" ruined my life.
I was 3 at the time and enjoyed a healthy relationship with movies and, by extension, movie theaters. I had already seen "Air Force One" and "Hercules" by then and was all set to broaden my film horizons. My movie ambitions ground to a halt the moment that oversized gorilla came onto the screen.
The two-minute trailer was enough to make me swear off movies for years. "Toy Story 2" passed with me sitting outside the theater holding a bag of M&Ms while my parents took turns imploring me to go inside and watch
Like most kids with fears I was able to grow out of my movie theater anxiety and by the time I started my freshman year at the University, I recovered enough to start reviewing movies for the Kansan.
Then and now, my favorite place to watch movies in Lawrence is Liberty Hall. Sometimes I would have to go to the Regal Southwind on Iowa to watch more widely released films. That's when I noticed that Lawrence's only mainstream
the movie. This lasted into the 2000s when I missed seeing Emperor Kuzko make his llama transformation in "The Emperor's New Groove."

@miss_maddy
movie theater didn't really compare to the Phoenix or AMC theaters I was used to
The Southwind is a theater that not only looks old, but feels old as well. The seats are uncomfortable and the rows are too tight. These are complaints I've heard over and over again from my friends and other students. Others think the location is inconvenient and costs too much.
Many of my friends choose to drive to other towns to see movies. Some drive up 1-70 to The Legends, while others take K-10 to AMC.
According to Google maps, all "good" movie theaters are about 35-40 minutes away.
As the only Regal Cinema property I'd been to, I decided to give the Southwind the benefit of the doubt. Maybe other locations were the same and the tight rows and uncomfortable seats were just part of the Regal experience.
While reading the company's website however, I realized that the Southwind, for all intents and purposes, has been neglected. Other Regal properties around the country — such as ones in Florida and California
- offer newly installed recliners. Underneath that list is a list of locations that
are set to receive recliners — most notably, Calabasas, Calif. So basically Justin Bieber is getting recliners before we are.
Seeing why places like Calabasas are getting more updated theaters than we are is easy: Calabasas is heavily populated and rich. Lawrence's 90,000 residents, on the other hand, are mainly poor college students. Still, we were considered worthy of a movie theater back when dinosaur roamed the earth so I think we deserve a renovated one now.

Fostering furry friends offers a good alternative to full-time responsibilities

Students can foster oets, like this cat, from the Lawrence Humane Society as a short-term substitute for parenting oets.
SUNNY KIM/KANSAN

@minseonkim94
Fostering a pet can be a considerable option for students who are interested in taking care of an animal without the responsibility, cost and time commitment of owning one.
Natalie Williams, a junior from Salt Lake City, has fostered pets for the past year while attending the University.
"I just love animals," Williams said. "I thought it would be fun. I want an animal but I don't want to have one permanently right now ... but it's fun to take care of something."
While having an actual pet can pose many challenges, fostering can give students a similar experience in a shorter timespan. With some training, anyone above the age of 18 can foster animals through the Lawrence Humane Society. For about eight weeks, depending on the pet, the fostering program at the Lawrence Humane Society gives students the opportunity to take care of pets varying from puppies and kittens to farm animals.
"You don't have to have any past experience. A lot of our fosters are new fosterers," said Neeka Diggs, volunteer coordinator for the Lawrence Humane Society. "I will walk you through everything you need."
Diggs said fostering allows the pets to be placed in a home where they will receive love and attention. She said they are typically adopted once they are returned to shelter. The Humane Society also provides essentials such as food and veterinary care.
"It's super easy to sign up. I came to the volunteer fair here in the Union and they
had a booth and a little foster flyer," Williams said.
"I want an animal but I don't want to have one permanently right now ... but it's fun to take care of something."
Volunteers sign a foster contract and receive a one-on-one training session with Diggs. Students are asked to complete the Kansas Department of Agriculture Foster License and, if possible, pay a $10 fee per State Law, according to the Humane Society's website.
NATALIE WILLIAMS Junior from Salt Lake City
Ryan Pohl, a senior from Overland Park, has fostered more than 12 times and ended up keeping three puppies.
"It was nice to see them grow and to be with them all stages of their lives," Pohl said. He said he fostered during breaks so he could spend more time with the pets and his family could help him out.
Jorden Mattney-McCorkle, a sophomore from Olathe, fostered pets when she was in high school, but college made it more difficult to foster pets, she said.
"I am a sophomore so I don't really have a facility because I live in the residence hall," Matney-McCorkle said. She said her mom continues to foster pets though and she will still be a part of that whenever she is back at home.
Diggs said students need to be certain of the time commitment that comes with fostering and they should make sure it's something they really want to do. With the busy
schedules of college students, it's important the pet isn't left alone too often.
Williams said fostering a pet can be distracting at times. "Even when I am doing my homework they will be running around and try to get my attention," she said. However, Williams said, "It's fun to have something to do and to have company all the time when you come home from class."
After fostering a pet for months, having to give them back to the shelter might be hard.
"We call them foster failures," Diggs said. "It happens, which we understand. We are happy that it happens but I think when you are fostering you have to have that mindset that this is temporary and I have to give him back."

Fiesta Frog names KU a top party school
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
Along with being nationally recognized for academics and athletics, the University of Kansas has landed at No. 55 on Fiesta Frog's list of top 100 party schools. Fiesta Frog — whose rankings have been featured on sites like BuzzFeed, BroBible and the Huffington Post — is a social media site that helps users find drink specials, concerts and other parties in their local areas.
Brad Westerbeck, a 2000 KU graduate living in Folkston, Ga., said being in the middle of the list is "probably a good balance."
Westerbeck said when he attended the University, it was on a top college party list as well. He said with KU's top academic and athletic programs, having a good balance of both academics and socializing will ultimately prevent students from "being burnt out and going crazy"
In a recent email interview, Benjamin Joseph, a Fiesta Frog representative discussed what goes into creating such a list. The site does research on the different schools, which includes interviewing current students and recent alumni. Fiesta Frog also gains information from its site readers and obtains votes from the colleges throughout the school year. Joseph said this year Fiesta Frog introduced a new survey, made available
Richard Pruitt, a freshman from Frisco, Texas, said being on this list is a good thing.
"It shows we can have fun, as well as have a great education," Pruitt said.
on their website, which asks a variety of questions.
One of the many questions included on the survey is, "What do people drink at parties at your school?" The question had a variety of answers, with two of them being, "We've PERFECTED our jungle juice recipe" and "We class it up with wine. (Pinky up!)." Another question the survey asks is, "What's your campus look like?" This question can be answered on a 1-to-10 scale, with 1 being, "No one does anything outdoors" and 10 being, "It's a freaking nature walk!" The survey asks a handful of other questions, including content about the university and the towns surrounding them.
Joseph said KU made the list based off votes received, the large Greek community on campus, the University's outstanding athletics program and the off-campus options around the city. After the top 100 list is secured, Fiesta Frog ranks each school based on various factors, such as less safe schools being moved lower down the list because the college wouldn't be a safe party environment.
Joseph said schools should not perceive the list as a negative thing. He

from Orange County, Calif., said that making the list
shows that the University is an outgoing school.
While some students think being named a top party school shows KU has a good reputation for being a fun university, other students view the list as giving the university a bad reputation, especially with parents.
"I don't think it's a good thing," said Ariel Silverman, a freshman from Overland Park. "What if parents who are paying their student's tuition see we are a big party school?"

Atmosphere to play at Granada
DALTON BOEHM
@Daltonkb
Atmosphere will perform at the Granada in downtown Lawrence tonight. The hip-hop duo consists of DJ and producer Anthony "Ant" Davis and rapper Sean "Slug" Daley. The Granada is Atmosphere's seventh stop on the North of Hell Tour, which follows the duo's latest album, "Southsiders," released in early May.
Slug and Ant are veterans in the music industry. According to the duo's official bio, the two began making music in 1989 and have released eight studio albums since then. They also co-founded Rhymesayers Entertainment
— the largest record label in Minneapolis.
Pat McQuillan, a junior from St. Paul, Minn., said he has seen Atmosphere perform more than 10 times in Minnesota, but never anywhere else.
"I've been a big fan of them since 2006," he said. "It's a really high-energy performance. They definitely cater to the crowds that they're in. They'll change their lyrics based on the town that they're in."
McQuillan said the duo is a big fan of Lawrence and has even given the city a shoutout in the song "Shhh."
Atmosphere has earned national coverage since the release of its debut album "Overcast!' in 1997, playing festivals such as Lollapalooza in Chicago and Soundset in Shakopee, Minn. The group has maintained an average
career metacritic score of 72, which is six points higher than Eminem. Half of their releases have landed in the top 50 of Billboard's Top 200, with "Southshiders" and "When Life Gives You Lemons, Paint That Shit Gold" landing spots in the top 10.
"I enjoy Atmosphere because they represent people. Their music speaks on many different situations that happen," said Peter Anthony from Kansas City, Mo. "Some songs are dark because life can be that way, while other songs speak to the happier times. It's very relatable for me," he said. Anthony will be driving to Lawrence to see the show.
The duo's onstage presence has also benefited from their years of experience.
"Their live performance is one of the best I've seen, performing a mix of old and new songs, playing to the crowd and feeling the energy of the crowd," Lawrence resident Pam Sherrell said. "Their concerts always have a really intimate vibe, which I love. You can feel the connection between the crowd and the artists."
Sherrell said she has been a fan of Atmosphere since the start of its career.
Atmosphere should expect a decent turnout in Lawrence. More than 200 people have joined the Granada's Facebook event, with more expected to show up. The doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale for $25 in advance and will be sold at the door.

Miley Cyrus' VMA date has warrant out for arrest
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Ore. — The young homeless man who accompanied Miley Cyrus to the MTV Video Music Awards has a warrant out for his arrest in Oregon.
Jesse Helt, 22, was arrested on charges of criminal mischief, criminal trespass and burglary in 2010. According to court records, he broke into the apartment of a man who had been selling what Helt believed to be bad marijuana.
Helt, who was 18 at the time, pleaded guilty to criminal mischief and criminal trespass, both misdemeanors, and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and probation. The arrest warrant was issued in November 2011 after he violated probation.
"I am accepting this award on behalf of the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the United States who are starving, lost, and scared for their lives right now," Helt said.
Helt moved to Los Angeles and lived on the streets while trying to find work as a model.
He gained worldwide attention Sunday when Cyrus let him accept her award for video of the year. Helt, who met Cyrus through the Hollywood homeless center My Friend's Place, used the platform to call attention to the issue of youth homelessness.
Polk County Director of Community Corrections Martin Silbernagel said Tuesday officials are trying to locate Helt and arrest him. He said
Helt repeatedly failed to meet with his probation officer.
"He doesn't make himself available to community supervision, and he takes off," Silbernagel said.
Linda Helt, Jesse's mother, told reporters Monday that Cyrus had given her son some money and he was flying home for a visit.
Sheriff's detective John Williams went to the mother's Salem home Tuesday, but did not find Helt. Williams said he spoke with the family and let them know he's looking for Jesse.
The telephone at the family home was busy Tuesday morning. A sign posted outside asked people not to trespass: "Only family & friends & neighbors at this time."

Student debt has long-term effects
LAUREN METZLER
@KansanNews
Student debt is a rising concern for students in school and after graduation, causing them to delay marriage, put off buying homes and even change their career choices, said William Elliott III, associate professor in the School of Social Welfare and assets and education initiative director for KU.
Another problem is the switch to income-based payment plans, which reduce each payment by stretching them out over a longer period
"I'm trying to justify the debt by getting good grades so that I can earn more later on."
of time. This allows interest rates to be applicable for even longer.
"Interest is a problem generally and ... when you fall behind on payments a lot of times what happens with students is their loan amounts double or triple when they get all these extra interest rate penalties that they have to pay," Elliott said.
On average, it takes a student about 13 years to pay off their debt, Elliott said. Income-based payment plans can extend that time up to 25 years.
based payment plans are the best way to go because it's just taking the problem and stretching it out over a longer period of time," Elliot said.
FREDERICK BEAL Sophomore from Salina
"I don't think these income
Elliott believes that assets-based plans, where the state might match a person dollar for dollar in a savings account or make a first deposit, will help savings accumulate faster.
The topic of debt raises the question: Is it feasible for students to put them selves through college without accumulating student debt?
"Obviously it is feasible in some circumstances, but they are limited. The amount that
college costs nowadays, most students aren't going to make that amount of money when they're working," Elliott said.
Frederick Beal, a sophomore from Salina, pays for college with student loans. He will graduate with around $50,000 in debt.
"I'm not really worried, I'm trying to justify the debt by getting good grades so that I can earn more later on," Beal said.

Elliot's Tips for Debt

Though the department of information technology deals with many issues on campus, right now it main focus is customer service.
KU IT improves customer service
David Day, director of IT External Affairs, said he's noticed a trend among call centers that his department hopes to implement in their own customer service center.
"I've noticed lately when I call for customer support from IT support or cable companies the person I talk to will, instead of transferring me, say 'do you mind holding,'" Day said.
Day said one thing IT is focusing on improving this semester specifically is first call resolution. Instead of passing customers on to someone else, the department is working to have customers problems resolved by the first person they speak with.
"We're taking more of the burden on ourselves to ask the customer if they mind waiting just a few minutes and then we'll chase down the answers for them and that's just good customer service," Day said.
Students may think the IT department's only responsibilities are fixing WiFi or helping someone set up a computer, but that doesn't
mean there is a problem with the program, it's just a matter of knowing how to work the program.
"We're taking more of the burden on ourselves to ask the customer if they mind waiting just a few minutes and then we'll chase down the answers for them ..."
DAVID DAY
Director of IT External Affairs
When technology is the root of the problem, it's usually a problem with the device itself rather than a system like
blackboard or email, Day said. Day said identity services pertains mostly to password resets, students forgetting passwords and difficulties with online IDs. In April, identity services came in at the top of the IT services list of problems they address with 24 percent of total IT tickets.
"Very few times is it that a service is actually broken," Day said. "In fact, our service uptime is about 99.8 percent, that means 99.8 percent of the time it's available and that's kind of across the board for our services."

Ohio plane crash kills 4 students
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A small rented airplane crashed and burned shortly after takeoff Monday, killing four college students who were taking a sightseeing flight around Cleveland after their first day of classes.
The four men were students at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Three were members of the varsity wrestling team.
The wrestlers were identified as 20-year-old Lucas Marcelli of Massillon, Ohio; 18-year-old Abraham Pishevar of Rockville, Maryland; and 18-year-old John Hill of St. Simons, Georgia. The fourth student was the pilot, 20-year-old William Felten of Saginaw, Michigan.
Marcelli and Felten were sophomores and Pishevar and Hill were freshman.
The plane appeared to be trying to return to the airport when it crashed, said Peter Knudson, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board. He said investigators expect to file a preliminary
report next week, but the full investigation could take a year to complete.
Bryan Marcelli of Massillon in northeastern Ohio said his son Lucas and the three other students planned to go up, take a look around and come right back to the same airport. He said Lucas was a hard-working student but not a risk taker.
"If he wasn't my son, I'd want my son to be around him, because he was such a positive influence," Marcelli said. "I don't know anybody that doesn't like him."
Lucas Marcelli graduated from Jackson High School in Massillon and twice qualified for Ohio's state wrestling tournament.
Abraham "Abe" Pishevar recently graduated from Georgetown Prep in North Bethesda, Maryland. High school classmate Cam Giarraputo said Pishevar never boasted about his wrestling accomplishments.
"He was always modest, never a show-off," Giarraputo said.
Case Western Reserve is one of the world's top research universities. The campus sprawls across a large portion of Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood in a mix of stately stone and brick buildings and distinctive modern structures. Students on campus gathered Tuesday afternoon in Veale Center, one of the school's athletic facilities, to talk and to console each other.
The university's wrestling coach, Mark Hawald, said no coach is ever prepared to deal with the sudden death of young athletes.
We're just coping and mourning and figuring how we can move on from losing three of our teammates, three of our brothers, three of our family," Hawald said.
Case Western Reserve will work closely with the men's roommates and friends, university President Barbara Snyder said in a statement.
There are no indications why the single-engine Cessna 172R crashed so soon after takeoff Monday night from Cuyahoga
County Regional Airport in suburban Richmond Heights. The plane crashed in nearby Willoughby Hills.
An Ohio State Highway Patrol official said the plane had been rented by Felten for four hours and that he did not file a flight plan.
Residents who live near the airport rushed to the crash site and found the plane engulfed in flames. Mark Gerald, 45, told Northeast Ohio Media Group that he was sitting on his front porch and could hear a plane engine struggling. He said the plane exploded as he and neighbors ran toward it. The four men were trapped inside the wreckage.
"It was too hot," he said. "The whole fuselage was involved."
William Honaker, 18, said he was driving in the area when he saw a "ball of light" and realized a plane was on fire.
Honaker said he also tried to approach the aircraft, but onlookers warned him to stop.
"(The plane) was so mangled," Honaker said. "I didn't want to look at it anymore, to be honest."
University set for emergencies with preparedness system
ALLISON KITE
@Allie Kite
The University is prepared if a disaster hits. It is ready with resources including the ability to communicate with students, regular drilling of responders and necessary shelter in case of severe weather.
Andrew Foster, emergency management specialist for the Office of Public Safety, said the University has plans in place for a variety of emergency and disaster situations and participates in drills as well.
Foster said one of the components of the University's emergency preparedness is a communication system. In
the case of a tornado, not only would the county and national weather service warn the general public, but students would also be able to sign up for texts via Enroll and Pay and can check alerts.ku.edu for updates.
Additionally, he said in the case of emergency, a building-wide voice alert can give students, staff and faculty instructions. The plan includes a provision for students with disabilities called a Personal Action Plan, available on the Public Safety website. Foster said this allows Public Safety to provide assistance to those who may have more trouble seeking shelter.
"What that does is allow
them to register in advance and say where they're going to be throughout the day so that if there was some sort of an emergency, we would have a little more advanced knowledge about who was where and we could try to provide assistance as available," he said.
Earlier in August, civilian and state agencies, the National Guard and federal agencies worked together for a drill called Vigilant Guard. Foster said the University could potentially participate in this drill in the future if an opportunity becomes available.
The Vigilant Guard, an exercise sponsored by the U.S.
Northern Command and the National Guard Bureau, sought to test the government's ability to respond in disaster situations. The training included drills to prepare responders for tornadoes in Emporia, Salina and Topeka and a bioterrorism incident at a concert in Wichita.
The tornado drills took place in Emporia, Salina, Manhattan and Topeka within days of each other, and prepared first responders how to handle a multifaceted disaster situation.
The drill also required responders to handle situations that could potentially stem from the original tornado, including fires or explosions.
Vigilant Guard was created to teach civilian agencies, states, the National Guard, neighboring states and even federal agencies to work together. Sharon Watson, the public affairs director for the Kansas Adjutant General's Department, said most disasters in Kansas would be handled by local efforts, potentially with the help of the state. For training purposes, the exercise was created on a much grander scale.
"That's really the benefit of this type of exercise," Watson said. "It requires that we not just talk about it such as a tabletop exercise, but actually reach out to those individuals and work with them through
phone conversations, through person-to-person interactions at a hospital or university, and talk through the process of what would happen in a situation."
Later this semester, the University will be participating with the county, state and Department of Transportation on a hazardous materials spill exercise. This will allow the University to practice reacting to such a situation and evacuating buildings as necessary.

UNIVERSITY DREAMS CA
The university might not be the saving measure in the future, but it is the one that will be the greatest source of change in the country. There are many changes in the education system, and the old model with the emphasis on the school has been changed to the new one based on knowledge and basic competency.
The university has made a strong effort to welcome a student from a different society into its campus, and the importance of communication by the faculty demonstrates this commitment to a diverse student body. By providing more opportunities for students to excel at University, our university is preparing the students to face the challenge of the Law department at the University.
The faculty is involved in various activities around the law curriculum, including the preparation of materials, workshops, and conferences. In addition, the faculty is also involved in research and development of new programs.
The faculty is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all students. We strive to ensure that students have a positive experience at University.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Other than men's basketball, which sport will have the most success this year?
By Amie Just
@Amie Just
"VOLLEYBALL"
over the past two seasons, Kansas Volleyball has had
deep post-season runs. In 2012, Kansas posted a record of 26-7 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, falling to Wichita State three sets to one. Last season, Kansas posted a record of 25-8 and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. In the first round of the 2013 tournament, Kansas gained revenge on Wichita State, sending the Shockers packing in four sets.
One thing that stands in the way of Kansas having another run in the postseason is losing one of the most successful classes in school history. Seven seniors fleed the coop in the spring, leaving Kansas with many open spots to fill. Even so, Kansas was still ranked No. 22 in the preseason American Volleyball
Coaches Association (AVCA) poll and was projected to finish second in the conference.
Coach Ray Bechard reloaded with a talented group of freshmen. This freshman class ranked as the No. 14 recruiting class in the nation. No other Big 12 school had a recruiting class in the top 25, according to volleyballmag.com.
The team also retained seven players from last season, including two All-Big 12 First Team outside hitters; seniors Chelsea Albers and Sara McClinton.
Bechard believes this year's
we have a lot of tough games coming up this season. I don't think that's anything that's going to scare us away."
CHELSEA ALBERS Senior outside hitter
team can continue to gain momentum from the previous two seasons and turn it into something greater.
"We want that momentum to turn into a volleyball culture and that volleyball culture to turn into a volleyball tradition and this is a group that can certainly do that," Bechard said on Kansas Volleyball Media Day.
The road ahead isn't going to be easy. This season's schedule for the Jayhawks is a tough one, but Albers isn't scared.
"We have a lot of tough games coming up this season," Albers said on Kansas Volleyball Media Day. "I don't think that's anything that's going to scare us away. We had a setback last year playing our last game, which was Washington, and we didn't play competitive. We played scared. That's something that we can look back at. That wasn't the type of Kansas volleyball that we want to play. I think that playing these games will set us up for future instances and future games, so when people look at us, they'll think 'Kansas is going to compete.'"
Volleyball is on the up-and-up. The sky's the limit. Many of the varsity sports on campus are on the up-and-up as well, but no team on campus has the continued recent success and momentum that the volleyball team does.

"BASEBALL"
The Kansas Jayhawks baseball team's future is looking brighter than ever, and here's why: The Jayhawks played their first NCAA Tournament since 2009 last season to give the team a bump into performing even better this year. It also doesn't hurt that Coach Ritch Price provides 13 years of experience leading the Jayhawks.
Price signed 10 potential leaders, five ranked within the top six in their state, to join the team in the fall of 2014. His 2014-15 recruiting class includes the No.1 and No.2 catchers and the No.2 pitcher, according to Perfect Game. The Jayhawks may have lost their team leader Tucker Tharp, who was incredible behind the plate and now plays for the Brooklyn Cyclones, but that won't stop them from filling the void he left.
On the bump, the man to carry the team this year is
ace sophomore pitcher Stephen Villines. As a freshman, Villines pitched 29 games with a 1.50 ERA in 48 innings. He struck out 23 batters for the season and finished the year with an all-time Kansas freshman-best eight saves. Villines did not disappoint this summer playing for the Duluth Huskies in Duluth, Minn. Villines threw 30 and 2/3 innings in 23 games, striking up 25 batters and only giving up nine runs for the season. To top it all off, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association announced Villines the Second-Team Freshman All-American.
Alongside Villines, sophomore catcher Michael Tinsley performed extraordinarily well this summer with the Huskies. Without any disappointment, Tinsley was one of the top hitters for the Huskies with a .317 batting average, 63 hits in 54 games and scored a total of 33 runs for the season. In his fifth game, Tinsley recorded seven runs and two home runs. Due to his spectacular performance with the Huskies, Tinsley was invited to participate in the Big League Dreams Showcase event Aug. 5 where he showed off his versatility in center field. With his stellar performance in the past,
Tinsley has quite the potential for leading the Jayhawks to another NCAA Tournament.
Senior Connor McKay hit nine home runs last year. With his slammer power, McKay has the potential of surpassing last year's RBI total of 45 and providing solid offense for the Jayhawks this season. McKay played in 38 games with the Lakeshore Chinooks in Mequon. Wis, this summer with 27 hits, 14 RBIs and four home runs, extending his reign of being the RBI King.
Junior Justin Protacio scored the most runs for the Jayhawks last season with 53. He had a total of 66 hits, 44 walks and 16 RBIs. This summer, he played with the Anchorage Glacier Pilots and stacked up a total of 28 hits, 27 walks and 20 runs.
The Jayhawks have an incredibly well-rounded team this year and with Price they have a lot of potential to reach the NCAA Tournament again. Offensively, the Jayhawks are looking great and any team that tries to keep them off the board will need some luck headed its way because nothing can stop these guys. Kansas Baseball, let's play two.

US national team prepares for FIBA World Cup
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mike Krzyzewski's big men had barely finished pushing around Slovenia when he was asked how they would match up with Spain's imposing frontcourt.
"I'm not going to compare. I haven't seen Spain play," Krzyezwski said. "If we play Spain, it's a long way away. So I'm just concentrating on U.S. and trying to get better."
There's plenty of time, but his big guys are looking pretty good so far.
Anthony Davis scored
18 points and teamed with Kenneth Faried to dominate the inside, leading the U.S. national team to a 101-71 victory against Slovenia on Tuesday in its final exhibition game before the FIBA World Cup of Basketball.
Faried finished with 14 points for the Americans, who next head to Bilbao, Spain, for their tournament opener Saturday against Finland. The defending world champions also will face Turkey, New Zealand, the Dominican Republic and Ukraine in pool play.
A matchup with Spain, and its big men of Pau Gasol,
Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka, wouldn't come until the goldmedal game on Sept. 14 in Madrid. The Americans picked a bigger team than usual after years of playing small, perhaps with Spain in mind, and appear capable of looking eye-to-eye with anyone.
The Americans weren't particularly impressive throughout the last of their four warmup games, their

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: In the past 10 years, how many international athletes has Kansas had on its roster?
A: 3 (Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embidt)

THE MORNING BREW
Men's basketball to reload, not dwell on the past
This upcoming season is a season to reload; a season with less expectations in comparison to last season. This team is also very different than the team Kansas fielded last season.
Seven players who were on the roster last year won't be suiting up for Kansas this season. Both Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid departed for the NBA. Naadir Tharpe and Andrew White III transferred out. Justin Wesley, Niko Roberts and Tarik Black finished their four years of eligibility.
The freshmen coming in to attempt to fill their shoes are Cliff Alexander, Devonte' Graham, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and Kelly Oubre. No one is getting an overabundance of media attention, except for Mykhailiuk, and that's just a video of people trying to pronounce his name. Another teammate — junior Hunter Mickelson

— is no longer secluded to the bench after transferring from Arkansas.
Both Mickelson and sophomore Landen Lucas gained valuable experience during the summer that will help them fill the void left by Embiid. Mickelson played on Guy Rancourt's USA East Coast Basketball Team in Estonia and Finland. Lucas played for Athletes in Action in Estonia and Latvia.
Now, the inexperienced freshmen from last year have a year of college
experience under their belts. Frank Mason and Wayne Selden Jr. have their freshman year behind them, as do Conner Frankamp, Brannen Greene and Lucas.
What's more, two of Kansas' freshmen, Alexander and Oubre, were ranked among the top 15 in the ESPN 100.
As for leadership and passing the torch,it's likely that Mason will be a mentor to Graham, just as Tharpe was a mentor to Mason last season.
THE BREW
The small but mighty group of upperclassmen have played in do-or-die situations that gave them vital game expertise. They know what it feels like to play when the expectations are insurmountable. The now-sophomores, who stayed to continue their collegiate careers, are familiar with the pressures of last season. They gained valuable experience, as well- valuable experience their younger counterparts will soon gain. The freshmen coming in aren't being
bombarded by unrealistic expectations like those thrown around last season. They have a talented and experienced group of guys to help them along the way.

Former FBI director seriously injured in single-car crash
Monday No events
Tuesday No events
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BARNARD, Vt. - Drugs and alcohol are not believed to be factors in the single-car crash in Vermont that seriously injured former FBI director Louis Freeh, state police said Tuesday.
Freeh, who led an investigation into the child sex abuse scandal at Penn State and issued a scathing report, was
alone in his SUV and wearing a seatbelt when he drove off the road shortly after noon Monday, striking a mailbox and a row of shrubs before coming to a stop on the side of a tree, according to state police.
A preliminary investigation found no indication that drugs or alcohol were involved, they said.
The New Hampshire hospital where police say Freeh was
taken is not releasing information about his condition. State police on Monday said he was "seriously injured."
The accident happened in Barnard, a small town about 120 miles northwest of Boston. No one else was hurt.
"The thoughts and prayers of the entire FBI remain with former Director Freeh and his family tonight," FBI Director James Comey said in a statement Monday.
Freeh, 64, was a federal judge in New York before serving as FBI director from 1993 to 2001. He previously served six years as a special agent. He founded his consulting firm, Freeh Group International Solutions LLC, in 2007.
In 2011, Penn State hired Freeh to examine the handling of child sex abuse complaints involving former assistant
football coach Jerry Sandusky and to recommend changes aimed at preventing abuse.
Following an eight-month, $6.5 million investigation, Freeh issued a blistering report contending that legendary head football coach Joe Paterno and other top Penn State officials concealed what they knew about Sandusky's sexual abuse of children for more than a decade to avoid bad
publicity.
Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 on 45 criminal counts.
Freen also has handled other high profile matters, including a bribery case involving the presidential election within FIFA, soccer's international governing body, and a review of the financial settlement program for Gulf Coast residents affected by the BP oil spill.

Kansas is a place basketball coaches want to stay
COMMENTARY
By Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
KU basketball wouldn't be KU basketball without its legendary coaches. Only seven men have served as coach of Kansas basketball, and on Oct.27, four of those coaches will celebrate 60 years of Jayhawk basketball at Allen Fieldhouse.
According to the New York Times, college basketball coaches average 4.95 years per tenure at a single university. With the Jayhawks entering their 117th season since 1898, their seven head coaches have averaged 16.7 years per tenure at Kansas.
Familiar basketball names such as James Naismith and Forrest "Phog" Allen are seen around campus at Allen Fieldhouse and Naismith Hall.
Naismith, known as the father of basketball, became Kansas' first coach six years after he created the sport. Forrest "Phog" Allen was hired in 1907 as the Jayhawks' second coach. He led the Jayhawks to three National Championships in 1922, 1923 and 1952.
Former Kansas player Dick Harp was hired as Kansas' third coach. He amassed a 121-82 record in Lawrence, but was responsible for one of the greatest players ever to lace up in Allen Fieldhouse: Wilt Chamberlain. Harp also led Kansas to two conference titles and two NCAA Tournament appearances.
Under Harp, the Jayhawks fell to the North Carolina Tar Heels by one point in triple overtime during one of the greatest National Championship games of all time in 1957.
In 1964; Ted Owens took over for 19 seasons and ended with a 348-128 record. The Jayhawks won six Big Eight titles and earned seven NCAA Tournament berths. Kansas also made it to two final fours under Owens' coaching.
Larry Brown earned a 135-44 record as Kansas' coach, including a 1988 national championship victory against Oklahoma. The '88 team was dubbed "Manning and the Miracles," and had the lowest regular-season win percentage to win a national title.
Roy Williams took over in 1989 for the next 15 years, averaging a .805 win percentage with a 418-101 record. Williams' teams of the '90s recorded the most wins and highest winning percentage of the decade.
The coach for the last 12 seasons of Kansas basketball has been Bill Self. Under Self, Kansas has won 10 straight Big 12 titles and a 2008 National Championship victory against Memphis. Self is responsible for some of Kansas' greatest talents, such as Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid and Mario Chalmers.
The group of Kansas basketball coaches is one of the most elite fraternities in the world. Arguably one of the greatest basketball programs in the country, Kansas has been led by only seven men. In comparison, Kentucky has had 22 head coaches, and Duke has had 18.

Women’s soccer seniors aim for return to the NCAA Tournament

CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
It has been two long seasons without an NCAA Tournament appearance for the women's soccer team. Senior defender Caroline Van Slambrouck, looking back on her freshman year during Fall Media Day, thought it had been even longer.
The five other seniors would agree: It has felt like more than two years for the Jayhawks.
"We've got a big group of seniors this year that wants to finish," Coach Mark Francis said. "They haven't appeared the last couple of years, so I know they've been hungry to get back. I know that's been a big emphasis for
them in terms of what they want to get done this year."
With their sights set on the NCAA Tournament after what the team would consider a down year, the Jayhawks brought a new mindset in summer training.
The squad was able to come together earlier than ever this offseason, as the Kansas Athletics Department funded a June arrival, which Francis had never been granted before. This gave the team almost nine weeks to find a new footing.
"The mentality has changed because we had a season that we didn't want last year," Van Slambrouck said. "We haven't really had any conflict with trying to get people on board, and that's been tough in years past.
This year everyone wants to be here. That makes my job easier, because I'm not fighting with anyone. It's just easy."
Change has been at the forefront for the Jayhawks this offseason. A different fitness test including a competition between the 26 players was newly introduced, as well as new scheme, which Francis
"They haven't appeared the last couple of years, so I know they've been hungry to get back."
MARK FRANCIS Soccer coach
said "lends to the offensive personnel."
With 26 players, including eight new faces, the team also has competition within positions for travel spots. Finally, the Jayhawks have Rock Chalk Park, a new facility with a surface that hasn't quite come into its own yet, which has led to an unsteady playing ground.
"We put some different challenges on them," Francis said. "That's the amazing thing about this team. If you challenge them to a different level, with a group like we have, they're going to step up to that challenge."
The seniors led the way through the change this summer with a strong sense of urgency to advance past the regular season, and the
underclassmen have followed right in line. Van Slambrouck said some teammates — primarily junior midfielder Liana Salazar — have taken the lead at times when she needed them to.
For Van Slambrouck, it's the final months with a group girls she has come close with over years of training and dedication. She has come to the realization of "this is it."
"It's the end of a journey that you've been on since you were 5," Van Slambrouck said. "This is the last three or four months that I am ever going to play soccer. You've also created a bond with 25 other girls, and you don't want that to end."

Soucie confident in new role for Kansas
The women's volleyball team enters the 2014 season saying goodbye to seven seniors including Caroline Jarmoc, a third team All-American and the Kansas record holder for blocks in a season. But sophomore Tayler Soucie, of Osawatomie, is confident the team can continue its success this season. Soucie set the freshman blocks record a year ago, and looks to fill Jarmoc's shoes this season.
GJ MELIA
"We can't focus on losing [Jarmoc] because we have so many great athletes we can still build our program off of," senior Chelsea Albers from Papillion, Neb., said. "Tayler Soucie had an amazing freshman year, so obviously I think the only way to go up is up."
During the offseason, Souci transitioned toward more of a two-hitter position, and worked on becoming a more well-rounded player.
Although she is only a

... I think [my role] would just be to try to bring up the underclassmen as much as I can."
sophomore, Soucie looks at herself as a natural leader. One of her goals is to be someone the newcomers can look up to. In high school, Soucie lettered all four years and earned the 2013 Tri-County Spotlight Player of the Year award. She was named to the All-State Second Team her senior season and posted 779 kills, which was the most in the country, according to Kansas Athletics.
TAYLER SOUCIE
Sophomore middle blocker
Soucie will look to lead the seven incoming freshmen, as she understands how important it is to build a strong bond with all of them. She also pointed out that team chemistry is not a goal for just this season, but the rest of her college career.
"I think everyone on our team, especially the returners, are trying to get that role." Soucie said. "Different personalities fit different roles, and I think mine would just be to try to bring up the underclassmen as much as I can."
The pressure and expectations are high this season after last year's trip to the Sweet 16. Yet similar to Albers, Souci is looking at this added pressure as a plus for the team.
"Being a sophomore, and being only one year older than the newcomers, I think that it will definitely be beneficial if I can help them because I'm going to be with them for the next three years," Soucie said.
"It's definitely motivation." Souci said. "I don't take it as pressure. I think it's really good for our team to have that new expectation to make the NCAA Tournament every single year."

In addition to the youth of the team, the Jayhawks are staying positive about the upcoming nonconference schedule that includes an NCAA Tournament rematch with Creighton University and the defending national champions, Penn State University.

"I think we're going to be competitors," Albers said. "We have a lot of tough games coming up this season, but I don't think that is going to be anything that scares us away."

Campus police implement body cameras
I ALLISON KITE
@Allie_Kite
Campus police will now be able to record any interactions they have with civilians during their patrol.
In addition to the dashboard cameras campus police have used for about 20 years, officers will now also wear cameras attached to the vest on the front of their bodies. This will help officers record, even when they're not in patrol cars. Police Captain James Anguuiano said the department purchased eight cameras at $900 each, allowing on-duty officers to have cameras when they are in their patrol cars.
Just as dashboard cameras can be used as tools of clarification in interactions between officers and civilians, the body cameras will show what happens during an encounter with audio and video. Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety Ralph Oliver said the goal in using the body cams is to have an accurate record of what occurs.
"It allows the court system to see the interaction between the officer and the individual," he said. "It allows the police administration to observe, and it also allows for training of officers, especially new officers, on the type of encounters and the behavior that is acceptable by this department
Because the body camera captures more than a dashboard camera, it can provide a more complete account if an officer steps away from the patrol car or is otherwise not in range of the dashboard camera.
Oliver said though he cannot speak for the situation in Ferguson because he doesn't have enough details, a body camera would've provided a more complete and accurate account of the interaction between Mike Brown and Darren Wilson on Aug. 9.
when coming in contact with this community."
"It records what happens," he said. "It doesn't necessarily give you a very nice, square
picture like you would see with everything centered like a camera man was holding it because it's attached to the officer's body. It would have given an accurate account, a real-time account of what occurred, not only visually but audio."
Oliver said the cameras could also potentially save officers' time in court because videos from body cameras can clarify any discrepancies between testimonies. Oliver said defense attorneys can pay to have access to these videos, which could result in out-of-court agreements rather than going through a full court process.
Oliver said the cameras will not run at all times. However, if an officer turns on his red lights, the dashboard and body cameras will be automatically activated. Officers can also choose to turn the camera on. He said through training and policy, the police department mapped out when officers should and should not have their body cameras on.
The department began training officers last Friday and training wrapped up Tuesday, Anguiano said.

Construction to begin on Strong Hall ramp
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
Construction will begin on the Strong Hall accessibility ramp in early September and is expected to be completed by late October, according to Paul Graves, deputy director of design and construction management.
Graves said that a tree was removed this summer to make way for the ramp and that the University has created plans for the project, hired a contractor and purchased materials.
Drew Harger, a senior from McPherson, is a member of AbleHawks and Allies and the acting treasurer of Student Senate. He said he heard there was a problem, and that he was one of the senators who wrote the legislation that was later passed in full senate.
"I heard a lot about how Strong Hall was still a major issue, through the Office of Multicultural affairs, basically pointing out the irony that Strong is such an important, iconic building to campus... but when you're looking at it, or at least when I'm looking at it, I just saw the building, but not how to get into it." Harger said. "Whereas someone who uses a wheelchair would have to go around to the back of the building."
Harger said he and other students involved in campus
Harger said that the University responded to the legislation and has been working to make sure buildings are accessible. In the KU Transition Plan, academic accessibility projects include adding an elevator to Murphy Hall and adding parking stalls among other future projects.
"I think it shows the University's commitment to accessibility in a very clear way," Harger said.
accessibility projects wrote letters to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little about why the project is important. He said he wanted to show the administration that there was campus-wide support for the project.
Harger said that he sent Jim Modig, the University's architect in the office of Design and Construction Management, plans and that Modig was able to find money in this year's budget for the project.
Harger said that Strong is a big step, but the accessibility is an ongoing concern.
Harger said that they also had to make sure a ramp would comply with the historical standards of Strong Hall, which he said were relatively easy to work with.
"Making campus more accessible is a constant issue when you're going to school on a hill," Harger said.

CORRECTION
The article also said 300E was the closest parking lot to Daisy Hill for students without a Daisy Hill permit. Lot 300E is available for students with DF permits. The closest yellow lot is 72. The story has been corrected on Kansan.com to reflect these changes.
The article "Daisy Hill construction cuts into parking" on page one of Wednesday's issue listed incorrect parking lot options for students with yellow permits (50, 206, 222, 300A-D). Those lots are restricted from 4-6 a.m. and are not available for parking overnight. Students with yellow permits may park in lots 72, 90, 125, 127, 301 and 302. Students with Daisy Hill (DF) permits may only park in lots 300E, 101, 104 and 105.

'Traffic Court' to update procedures
DALTON KINGERY
@daltonkingnews
The University's student-led Court of Parking Appeals, popularly known as "Traffic Court," has implemented a number of changes to modernize the quasi-judicial body. The court, located in Green Hall, developed new online resources, made procedural changes and is going paperless.
The Traffic Court has created a public wiki, or online encyclopedia, as a resource for anyone that needs information on the court. It contains informational videos, copies of the court's rules and procedures and information for student-judges and attorneys. In addition to the online resources, the court now has
the option to go paperless to lower costs and improve efficiency.
The Traffic Court also implemented a number of new procedural changes this fall, marking the first significant rule changes since 1993, said Nicholas Birdsong, a third-year law student from Lyndon and Chief Justice of the Traffic Court. In-person hearings are now optionally recorded; in the past, audio recordings were required. Provisions have been put in place that create new consequences for attorney and judge misconduct. Clear rules against conflict of interest for judges and attorneys now exist as well.
Although the Traffic Court is not a true court of law, Student Senate gives the court authority over ticket appeals.
Birdsong said the University's appeals court is unique in that it is managed entirely by law students. He added that many universities may have appeal policies in place, and some, such as the University of Nebraska, even have a court. To be exclusively student-led is a

trait that can only be found at the University, he said.
on campus. Nobody likes getting parking tickets on campus," Birdsong said. "Instead of just making people pay it, we have a unique option for students or faculty to appeal to a court."
"People get parking tickets
Through personal research, Birdsong found the earliest record of the Traffic Court to be in 1976, in the form of an attorney general order that the traffic court could no longer hear misdemeanor cases.
"It says that we're interested in furthering the education and experiences of our law students," said Bethany Brayton, a KU Parking and Transit employee who works closely with the court's appeal system. "My favorite thing is that it is done by students. Sometimes they
have a better perspective into other students' situations."
Students seem to appreciate the options the Traffic Court gives them, even if the court doesn't throw out every ticket.
"I parked at the Rec Center when I didn't have the right permit, and I got a ticket. I appealed and I lost," said Bryan Holdener, a sophomore from O'Fallon, Ill. "But they could just say 'screw you, pay it.' But they give you a chance to explain yourself."

Student participation important in elections
ALLISON KITE
@Allie_Kite
On Nov.4, students and faculty will have to make decisions in several national and state elections.
Clay Cosby, a senior from Overland Park studying political science, said he believes education funding, voting rights, taxes and equality are going to be major issues in the upcoming elections. As the director of organizing for the Future Majority, a bipartisan campus political organization created last year, Cosby said his goal is to inform students on some of the major issues this election season.
Cosby said the 2012 decision that requires people to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote in Kansas makes the voting process more difficult
for students, which could deter some people.
"We want to go through all those loopholes and get students registered to vote, but also make sure they know that there's some voter suppression going on in the state," he said. Natalie Parker, a senior majoring in journalism from Overland Park and Future Majority's director of communications, said she believes education funding should be one of students' major concerns during the election.
The total approved state university and board of regents budget decreased by more than $42 million from fiscal year 2014 to 2015, and the portion of that budget that comes from the state general fund increased by more than $28 million.

Law student elected as interim student body vice president until September reelection
Tyler Childress, a first-year law student from Coffeyville, was elected as the interim student body vice president in a Student Senate meeting Wednesday night in a vote by acclamation.
Childress served as chief of staff during the 2013-2014 school year under Student Body President Marcus Tetwiler, a spring graduate from Paola.
Emma Halling, interim student body president, started the meeting by encouraging the senators to consider the impact of upcoming decisions.
"Though I suspect that some people have lost sight of the long-term implications of the current state of affairs, the fact of the matter is, that what occurs within the next few weeks will have a remarkably widespread and long-term impact," Halling said.
The Senate also voted to approve all of the 2014-2015 executive staff, so they could continue in their positions until the election scheduled for Sept. 9 and 10. The entire executive staff was approved, and all of those votes were also votes by acclamation. This is the entire staff that Morgan Said, former student body president, and Miranda Wagner, former student body vice president, had hired at the end of last school year.
the Senate had to vote to individually suspend S.R.S.R. 5.16.1.1. before they could approve former Jayhawker candidates Mitchell Cota, acting chief of staff, and Patrick Jacquinoit, acting outreach coordinator.
5. 16.1.1. dictates that if a senator commits an egregious violation, they are banned from participating in senate for 12 months. This rule includes appointed positions like the executive staff. This is the rule that did not allow for any former senators from the Jayhawker coalition to have voting or speaking rights in Wednesday's full senate meeting.

Athletic Department takes advantage of student loyalty
It is becoming more and more difficult to be the loyal fan that the Princeton Review recently raved about in its "Students Pack the Stadium" portion of its annual college rankings. As I enter my fourth and final year at the University of Kansas, I have seen a student body that has devoted more to its sports teams than its academics, myself included.
Some students have gone as far as choosing class schedules that allow time for them to camp in Allen Fieldhouse all day so that they don't lose their group's place on the list. Others avoid enrolling in night classes in order to attend evening games. Some even wake up early on Saturday mornings to tailgate for
football games. Even though The KU Athletic Department has our devotion, it does not seem to care as much about the student body, the fans.
One can point to the department's decision last semester to take away over 100 seats from students in order to reserve them for donors. The reason for this change was to compensate for the newly lowered student athletic fee, which was lowered from $25 to $6. According to the Athletic Department, the lowered fee will result in an annual $350,000 loss. While this number may seem high, it's important to remember that this is the same department that brought $93 million in revenue in 2013 alone. With the recent decision regarding

@AdamTweets4You
Section U, it is quite apparent that the Athletic Department is more than willing to do whatever it takes to make up for any lost revenue.
One would hope that the Athletic Department would draw the line at some point to support its student body fans, but looking ahead at the schedule for this upcoming semester it's hard to see things that way. KU decided to have Late Night in the Phog and the Oklahoma State football game the
same weekend of Fall Break. That means that KU will be hosting its highly anticipated fall basketball preview event when most students will be out of town.
While the event may still fill maximum capacity, how many of these seats will be filled with students and how many with potential donors? With less student competition for seats at these events. donors are able to come on Friday to attend Late Night and on Saturday to attend the football game. Maybe this was nothing more than an unfortunate coincidence for students, but in light of recent actions by the Athletic Department, it sure doesn't feel that way.
Regardless of these changes, our student body is
so devoted to KU athletics that we will continue to be the best fans in the country. We will still wake up at 6 a.m. for lottery and camping, wait outside in any type of weather to enter the Fieldhouse and will still cheer as wildly as all the reviews say. The sad thing is that the Athletic Department knows these facts, and they will continue to do as they please without regard for the students who make it all possible.

Art still important in social media age
To understand why art matters today, we must also
consider a wide spectrum of art that evolves alongside technology. Art can range from Paleolithic cave paintings in Lascaux, France, to the newsfeed on our mobile devices.
The Lascaux Caves in southwestern France contain some of the oldest examples of art in the world, dating back more than 17.000 years. The paintings feature various scenes of large animals, such as bulls and horses. They are impressive visually as
well as historically. Ancient people provided an entire cave of evidence indicating what life was like for them. They chose to depict things from nature due to the intimate relationship they shared with one another, and their experiences were important enough to record on cave walls. We only know these people for the art they created and the bones they left behind.
By Jake Kaufmann
@jakeKaufmannUDK
life that written and spoken words cannot express. Cave painting is one of the oldest art forms and has recently echoed out beyond the cave entrance and onto virtual walls.
Art serves as a way of recording natural history; it tells tales that others can relate to and also learn from. It provides vivid examples of
An online presence allows an individual to gain access
to millions of other people through social media. Pictures, status updates and wall posts create an idea of the type of people we are, just as the paintings in the cave inform us about a different time period. Whether or not we intend to be artistically profound with a picture of an astonishing sunset, grumpy cat or an intimidating bull on a cave wall, we are perpetuating our culture, just as cavemen and women did thousands of years before us. Art matters because it is constantly evolving to reflect the
culture that it appropriates through technology.
The cave wall has evolved into the smartphone, and we are sharing our lives to be viewed forever. We should be mindful of what we create for future generations as social media inserts itself into the next chapter of art history.

WIRED FOR SUCCESS
Former students invent gadgets for their startup company
ANDY NELSON
@UDK Nelson
Since December, former University students Sean Steppe and Stephen Vincent have worked together to create a new electronics startup called Lucid Labs based in Lawrence. The company's products are consistently in the top five selling products in the headphone accessory category on Amazon, and the company has sold products to buyers in 30 different countries.
"I really love being my own boss," Vincent said. "I get to choose what projects I work on, and I never get stuck working on projects that I have no interest in doing."
Since Steppe and Vincent both attended the University, they have connected with students and various vendors throughout the Lawrence area. Sean has been working with the Cave for the past few weeks, helping to improve their audio and lighting systems. Because of connections like this one, their company has seen steady business and growth.
Originally from Overland Park, Steppe took a break from college two years ago during his sophomore year. Recently, he has devoted his time to working on Lucid Labs. Steppe will be majoring in electrical engineering when he returns to the University this upcoming spring.
Vincent graduated in 2008 with degrees in business administration and mechanical engineering. He earned his Masters in mechanical engineering last June. As a Lawrence native, he is well-informed of the area, which he believes has helped Lucid Labs.
"It's been a dream, to make my living designing and making products that I find interesting." Vincent said.
The company now works mainly with lighting systems and audio devices like headphone amplifiers, which Vincent designed.The amplifiers are built into an Altoids tin and are plugged directly into any device with a headphone jack. The device delivers improved sound through any pair of headphones.
Austin Nelson, a sophomore from Sioux Falls, S.D., said he has never heard of the company, but he thinks the concept of a headphone amplifier is great. While he does not have any need for lighting systems, Nelson would be willing to support a company that was started by former students of the University.

Steppe created a program to take the place of the board altogether. Afterwards, he decided that the creation could sprout into a business.

Local artist captures city's spirit with portraits
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Oliver Hall, photographed by Rachael Perry, is a local writer and artist.
As a community-based artist, Rachael Perry seeks to find a way to pay homage to the people she has met in Lawrence. Each portrait she takes is different but ties together the big picture — Lawrence's ever-growing art scene and its importance in the community.
“[It] demonstrates that art is a vital and powerful force in creating community” Perry said. “...that there are a myriad of ways to be involved in the arts and that everyone has the ability to be an artist and find his or her community of support.”
Perry, a local University of Kansas alumni, organized this art project and takes all of the photographs herself. This project helps document the diverse art scene in Lawrence.

Perry pairs each photo with a caption containing a quote from the artist being photographed. While Perry primarily photographs local artists, in the future she plans to include KU art students in the project as well.
Perry will display the portraits with their captions in a large-scale exhibition this April. She also has plans to release a book with all of the portraits after the exhibition.

Liberty Hall celebrates 'Wizard of Oz' milestone
CODY SCHMITZ
@Cody_Schmitz
"The Wizard of Oz" celebrated its 75th anniversary this month and Liberty Hall Cinema is marking the event by holding a screening of the classic film. It will be shown at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday.
"It's something that's pertinent to the state of Kansas," said Brendan Costello, the Projection Assistant at Liberty Hall Cinema. "The Wizard of Oz' is a classic piece of cinema and we wanted to bring that to the community."
The movie premiered in Oconomowoc, Wis., on Aug. 12, 1939 — 75 years ago this month. The studio spent about $2.7 million on the creation of the film, so the studio's executives wanted to see if the movie would
play well in the Midwest before they opened it to a broader audience. Oconomowoc is the hometown of Meinhardt Raabe, one of the munchkins, and the home state of Herbert Stothart, who scored the movie.
BRENDAN COSTELLO Projection assistant
Betty Chung, a junior from Orange County, Calif., said that two things come to mind for her friends when they think about the Sunflower State; wheat fields and "The Wizard of Oz."
"It's something that's pertinent to the state of Kansas. 'The Wizard of Oz' is a classic piece of cinema and we wanted to bring that to the community."
"My friends call me Dorothy now because I live in Kansas," Chung said.
Deven Knapp, a freshman from Overland Park, said he thinks the film stereotypes Kansas, which is something that the Oz Museum in Wamego plays off of.
Hollyn Smith, the gift shop coordinator at the Oz Museum, said the museum will celebrate the anniversary with "OztoberFest." Smith said the 75th anniversary shows how much of a legacy "The Wizard of Oz" is and how it still plays a big part in our community and society.
Lizzy Langa, a freshman from Chesterfield, Mo., said, "It's nice to live in the state that coined the phrase, 'There's no place like home.'"

5 UPCOMING ALBUMS
Music to look forward to, from hip-hop to indie rock

@RyanWrightUDK
Right now is an exciting time in music; there are many highly anticipated projects being released over the next few months. Here are five albums that should be on your radar.
KANYE WEST - TBA
Each of Kanye West's six solo albums have gone platinum. That being said, there's a lot of hype surrounding Mr. West's seventh solo effort. The hype caused a track entitled "All Day" to top the Billboard Trending 140 chart, and the song hasn't even been released yet. There's usually little to no information regarding a Kanye West album until right before the release, and this is no different. No official release date has been set, but it's expected to be released within the next few months.
CHARLI XCX - SUCKER
Fresh off a huge feature on Iggy Azalea's "Fancy," Charli XCX is set to release her third studio album, "Sucker," on Oct. 21. Charli XCX has often been categorized goth-pop and is regularly compared to '80s legend Siouxsie Sioux. Two singles have already been released off the album: "Boom Clap," which was featured on the soundtrack for "The Fault In Our Stars," and "Break the Rules." Both can be found in the iTunes store.
ALT-J - THIS IS ALL YOURS
ALT-7 - THIS IS ALL YOURS
English english rock band Alt-1) is set to release the follow-up to its debut album, "An Awesome Wave,"
on Sept. 22. The debut album was good, but a bit underwhelming because sometimes the heavy instrumentation overshadowed the lyrics. Judging from the three singles that have been released, "Hunger of the Pine," "Left Hand Free" and "Every Other Freckle," the album should be a treat.
FRANK OCEAN - TBA
During the summer of 2012, Frank Ocean released his critically acclaimed debut album, "Channel Orange." Since then, we haven't heard much from him. The album is often considered one of the best R&B albums in years. It won "Best Urban Contemporary Album" at the 2013 Grammys where he earned six nominations. The album was also certified gold in January 2013. Similar to Kanye's newest project, little is known about the album. This past April, Ocean took to Tumblr and hinted the album was nearly finished.
FLYING LOTUS – YOU'RE DEAD!
Flying Lotus is one of the most diverse producers in music right now, as he makes a wide variety of music ranging from hip-hop to electronic. His experimental style has set him apart among his peers.
"You're Dead!" is his fifth solo album and is set for release Oct.
7. Flying Lotus' solo side project called "Captain Murphy" has new music coming soon also.

Meyers' Emmy act outshined by guests
ASSOCIATED PRESS
How'd Seth Meyers do in his debut as host of the Emmys? So far, the critics seem to think the "Late Night" comedian was not at all bad, especially considering the degree of difficulty he faced.
First up, there was a fact that the show, which usually lands on a Sunday in late September, was scheduled for a Monday night in August — hardly an auspicious time slot — thanks to conflicts with the VMAs and "Sunday Night Football." But perhaps even more problematic was the feeling of deja vu that plagued the night, when so many awards went to previous winners rather than exciting newcomers such as "Orange is the New Black" and "True Detective."
The L.A. Times' Mary McNamara called Meyers "great," noting that his monologue, full of industry jokes about the broadcast- versus-cable rift and this year's rampant category- fudging, provided "insight into the wonderful roiling madness that is television today."
Less effusive, but still positive, was Slate's Willa
Paskin. Meyers provided a "steady hand and reliable charm," she said, even if he "is not a huge personality, and his opening monologue was a little understated."
Alessandra Stanley of the New York Times had similarly lukewarm praise for Meyers, saying he "was charming, but he didn't take many risks, and overall, the ceremony was a brisk, rather tame event."
Others seemed to think that Meyers was reliable and efficient but allowed others do to the heavy comedic lifting.
["Meyers was] affable and steady and kept the banter light and upbeat."
"The only real standout bit came not from Meyers, but from Billy Eichner. The big musical number? Again, not Meyers — that one went to Weird Al Yankovic," wrote Margaret Lyons at Vulture.
The Hollywood Reporter's Tim Goodman observed that Meyers was upstaged by other late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, but said that he was "affable and steady and kept the banter light and upbeat" on "one hell of a weird, head-scratching awards show."
Meyers had his out-and-out detractors too. Writing for the New Yorker, Sarah Larson said Meyers "seems to embody the obsolescence of the (late-night) genre. He was a fine fake newsman on "Weekend Update," but as a person — a real host, a presence — he seems to have little at stake other than his own success or failure, as measured by the success of his jokes. You don't feel any passion, personality, or vulnerability."
Daniel D'Addario at Salon docked Meyers, who referred to his friends Amy Poehler and Tina Fey by first names only, for "lean(ing) heavily on his ('Saturday Night Live') comrades, a group whose amiability began, years ago, to curdle into cool-kids'-clubbiness."

Study: Working out correlates to higher GPA
MEDICAL BREAKOUT
University students work out at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center on Wednesday. A new study released shows that working out and students' GPA might be directly related.
MADDIE FARBER
@MaddieFarberUDK
in a recent USA Today College Article, a study released by Michigan State University showed that hitting the gym just might boost students' GPAs and enhance their chances of graduating.
The study, which included 4,843 freshmen, observed the differences in the GPAs of those who bought gym memberships compared to those who did not. Out of the 1,138 students who bought a membership, their cumulative GPAs were .13 points higher on average.
The study also showed that after two completed years, 89 percent of students with a membership were still enrolled in school, compared to 85 percent of those who did not have one.
Overall, the study determined that making time for exercise might be beneficial to college students' academic success.
Madison Wolfe, a junior from Olathe, said she makes time for her rigorous workout schedule and it has benefited her while in college.
"Just like anything else I do. I plan my workouts into my schedule. I either workout in the mornings before class or after my classes are done for the day," she said. "Working out has definitely helped my GPA. I notice a significant difference in how I deal with studying and stress of school if I haven't been working out like I normally do."
Wolfe has a five-day split training schedule where she focuses on one muscle group each day. She said weight training is her escape and the time of day where she can clear her head and think of nothing but bettering herself.
"We've got such a great rec
and it's so convenient," Wolfe said. "It's not hard to throw your tennis shoes, shorts and a T-shirt in your backpack and head in for a workout after class. The hardest part about going to the gym is going to the gym. I challenge people to try and workout before class. You'd be so surprised at how focused you are during class."
Kelsey Fortin, a health edu
cator at the Health Education Resource Office, said she was not surprised by the results of the study. She explained this was not a new idea and there have multiple research studies that have investigated the connection between physical activity and the brain.
"For a while now, exercise has been known to provide physical benefits along with
improvements in mood, stress levels and energy levels," Fortin said.
Fortin said although there are many different aspects that can impact a student's GPA, she agreed both exercise and extracurricular activities can have positive effects. She explained that since the lack of time is the number one perceived barrier to exercise,the

Participating in clubs or anything that gets you away from the mainstream of academia can help you focus better," he said. "Any kind of activity can help people with academic performance. Sporadic participation isn't as effective as it is for those students who are regular about their exercise."
Other than working out, Wolfe is also a member of Chi Omega, participates in Student Mobilization and is a teaching assistant for an anatomy lab. Wolfe said she believes all of these extracurricular activities have kept her stress levels down and helped keep her GPA at a high level.
"I encourage students to find the type of physical activity they enjoy. To many students, exercise means lifting weights and running, but these simply aren't the only forms of physical activity," she said. "If students are able to engage in a form of physical activity they enjoy, they will be more likely to stick with it." Fortin said.

Douglas Dechairo, director and chief of staff at Watkins Health Center, agreed that regular participation in extracurricular activities or exercise is beneficial, and encourages students to find something that is exciting for them and to do it constantly.
"Another stress relieving thing I do is something that doesn't have to do with school, but it's fun. I have a bow, so I love shooting. It's super relaxing and an awesome stress reliever, too," she said.

Rising temperatures require precautions for pets
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
With the thermostat in Lawrence lately reading over 100 degrees, humans aren't the only ones who'll be sweating it. Jennifer Stone, a medical director and staff veterinarian at the Lawrence Humane Society, urges students to not only look after themselves in the heat, but also to consider their animals. While Stone has not seen many "true cruelty" cases of animal neglect in extreme heat or cold, she said she has seen many cases of ignorance.
Edited by Jordan Fox
"If it's 100 degrees outside, it can be well over 100 degrees inside the car," Stone said. "You should never leave your animal in the car. It's not safe to leave them in there."
THE SYMPTOMS:
Look out for:
- Extreme panting that doesn't appear to cool the animals
- Animal is hot to the touch
- Animal has bright red mucous membranes (skin cells on the gum and muzzle area)
- Weakness
- Sudden collapse
"Animals can show signs of heat stroke or heat exhaustion mere minutes after being abandoned in a parked vehicle," Stone said.
HEATSTROKE IS A PROBLEM
- If it is extremely warm outside keep animals in an air conditioned place — not outside in a cage or in a car.
"One of my friends actually had a dog, and she was jogging with him and he just fell over, dead," Stone said. "It was too hot. They won't necessarily show signs before it happens sometimes, they just become very sick very suddenly."
WHAT TO DO
If a student is forced to leave their animal out in the heat:
• Make sure there is always a shady spot no matter the time
- Leave plenty of water for the animal to drink
- If an animal is discovered left in the car:
- Get the pet out of the car and into air conditioning
- Seek the pet with water
- Soak the pet with water
- If your pet has experienced heat stroke, always take the pet to the hospital to be checked out
"If you see an animal that's not yours in a locked vehicle, call the police or animal control," Stone said. "I know in some places they will actually break into cars to get them out ... Most of the time it's neglect and ignorance, and that's what makes me sad. People just don't take time to think things through before they do it."

Reflection on old KU
By Judith Forest
When we honor the brave and dedicated men and women who served the University during its centennial year, it is to the latter group that the University presents a tribute. It is to the late Professor James D. Hancock, who was a pioneer in the field of public health and a great advocate for the well-being of our community.
BORN OF THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1905
James D. Hancock was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on August 14, 1905. He attended Princeton University and later graduated from Harvard Law School. After serving in the United States Army during World War II, he returned to Princeton and became a professor of law at Columbia University. He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Competition for backup quarterback continues
Sophomore quarterback Michael Cummings passes the ball during the second half of the Kansas Football Spring Game on April 13. The Jayhawks' 2014 season will begin Sept. 7 against South Dakota
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
After the Spring Game, the locker room breathed a huge sigh of relief when Coach Charlie Weis announced that sophomore Montell Cozart would be the starting quarterback in the season opener on Sept. 6 against Southeast Missouri State. There would be no drama in the quarterback room in the offseason.
That was until backup quarterback Jake Heaps, a junior last season, decided to transfer to the University of Miami. His departure left the title of the clipboard holder up for grabs.
Since the team reported to camp in early August and the initial depth charts were
released, the battle for the backup quarterback position has been evident. Listed between junior Michael Cummings and transfer sophomore T.J. Millweard in big letters is "OR," meaning that the position is there for the taking.
"Everybody wants playing time," Cummings said. "Competition just pushes us to get better, I just try to get better every day. That's the mindset I have."
The same "OR" is found at other announced position battles on the depth chart, including at placekicker, backup running back and second string defensive tackle. But no other position in football commands as much attention and attracts as many story-craved journalists as the
quarterback position.
Like any position battle, there is a clear favorite. Cummings came into fall camp knowing that it was his job to lose.
Cummings is listed on the
coach Ron Powlus said. "He's an athletic kid, he's got a strong arm, he's a true competitor and brings a lot of moxie in the game."
This will be Cummings' fourth year with the Jayhawks.
"Competition just pushes us to get better, I just try to get better every day. That's the mindset I have."

roster at a mere 5-foot-10 and weighing 210 pounds. Coaches rave of not only his competitive nature but for having the strongest arm in the quarterback room.
MICHAEL CUMMINGS Backup quarterback contender
Cummings saw the field immediately as a redshirt freshman in 2012, playing in the last eight games and starting against Oklahoma, Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech and Iowa State. In a year when Dayne Crist was the week one
"Michael has been around for awhile now," quarterbacks
starter, Cummings completed 43 of 94 passes for 456 yards and three touchdowns.
Cummings' competition, Millweard, is a 6-foot-3 transfer from UCLA. Millweard redshirted his first season at UCLA in 2012 and sat out last year due to NCAA transfer rules. Millweard watched as Cozart played his way onto the field in his first year as the back-up over Heaps.
"T.J. is a sharp guy," Powlus said. "He moves around really well in the pocket. He may have less experience but he does a lot of good things mentally."
Millweard will be the first one to tell you that he isn't as physically gifted as the others, but what he lacks in physical attributes, he makes up for
in his knowledge of the new spread offense that Kansas has adopted this year.
We each have our different strengths. Unfortunately I wasn't blessed with the athletic ability that Michael or Montell have. I just try to work at my craft everyday," Millweard said. "I ran the spread in high school and at UCLA, so I have no problem with the spread. It helps me use my strengths of getting the ball out quick."
Despite pushing each other every day in camp, the quarterback room still understands the importance of being close-knit.
"We are all friends. It's camp, so we have to joke around," Millweard said. "We have a great group of guys, and we all get along really well."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I don't care how we do it," Manager Ned last said, "Is that way really fun? Yeah, to win a game in that fashion, where you've kind of been stymied all night long and then the ninth inning comes up — base hit and, kaboom, the game's over."

KANSAS CITY ROYALS
THE MORNING BREW Royals give fans hope for first time in 28 years
Lighten your seatbelt and hold on because the Kansas City Royals are about to take you.
T
Royals are about to take you on a whole new journey this September. Mainly due to the fact that the Royals haven't been in first place this late in the season since 1985.
That's right, 1985. Judging by the faces around campus, I would say that most students, and some faculty, weren't even alive when George Brett took them to the playoffs and won the World Series in controversial fashion 28 years ago.
Just in case 28 years isn't daunting enough, let's list a few things that have happened since then: The United States has had five Presidents, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, "The Simpsons" have aired 552 episodes and the Kansas men's basketball team
By Austin Wagoner
@awagoner23
nas won two National Titles and have had three different coaches.
Now, in 2014, the Royals are giving fans something they don't get much of: hope. There's hope that Kansas City made the right decision by sticking with GM Dayton Moore. Hope that a team in an average media market with a less than an average budget can field a playoff team. Hope that a team full of prospects can pull together with an ace, James Shields, and give the community something to cheer for in September.
The Royals are going to do this by playing tough defense and getting base hits. According to Major League Baseball's site, the Royals are last in home runs, but second in team batting average for the American League. The Royals are going to go further with solid starting pitching, boasting the 4th best ERA in the AL and finishing with premier closer, Greg Holland.
In the past 28 years, the boys in blue have shown flashes of brilliance and neverending years of terribleness. Going to a Royals game traditionally has been about cheap tickets and drunken foolishness. But there's something about this year, something in the air that makes fans appreciate the game a little more. They say this game is a game of inches and there will be entertainment in watching the Royals fight for the next 31 games to get a chance to play in October.

Chicago's Little League champs return as heroes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO The ballpark gleams, exactly as the home of the Little League World Series national championship team should.
Free of graffiti and absent so much as a kid's initials carved in the grandstand benches, Jackie Robinson Park is outfitted with a digital scoreboard
and mechanical pitching machines. It sits in a tidy neighborhood of brick one-story homes and manicured lawns on Chicago's South Side.
While the words "South Side" are often shorthand beyond Chicago for gangs, shootings and poverty, the people who live here see a more nuanced picture.
"These are middle-class fam
ilies," said Jamieson Clay, a relative of Joshua Houston, the pitching and hitting hero of the U.S. championship game. "Ninety percent of the boys have both a mother and a father at home with them and the fathers are playing a pretty active role in their sons' lives."
The beloved Jackie Robinson West All Stars, Chicago's first all-black team to claim
the national title, autographed T-shirts and posters at the ballpark Wednesday before boarding trolley buses for a parade in their honor. They're only beginning to realize the impact they've had on the city.
"I didn't know it was going to be like this," outfielder Darion Radcliff said as he posed for photos. "I feel like a celebrity." In the days to come, he and
the other players will be held up as models for how to keep vulnerable kids out of trouble. Radio host Matt McGill said to the crowd at Wednesday's pre-parade rally, "Look at those kids. You can be a star without a gun in your holster, without a gun in your waistband."
And before thousands at Millennium Park downtown, Chicago White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams urged kids to "pick up a ball or a glove or a book, a paint stick, a science project (and) put down the guns."

McClinton represents U.S. abroad over summer
Senior outside hitter Sara McClinton spent two weeks abroad in July with the USA Developmental Program.
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
Sara McClinton has picked up countless awards and honors throughout her sophomore and junior years at Kansas. The senior outside hitter is a two-time All-Big 12 First Team and Academic First Team selection, American Volleyball Coaches Association Honorable Mention All-American and a big 12 Preseason Team selection for the second time in 2014. But during her summers away from Kansas, she's found honor in something entirely new: playing for her country.
McClinton went overseas to play for almost two weeks in July for the second consecutive summer. She traveled with the USA Developmental Program, which is coached by Daniel Fisher from the University of Pittsburgh, a program that houses some of the best college talent from across the U.S.
The team flew into Venice, Italy, spent less than a week of training in Slovenia where they played two matches and then traveled to Croatia for the main tournament. The team had just a few days to train together before they were thrown into the fire against the best young national teams from across the globe.
"These girls have been playing since they were like 5 years old and all together, whereas our team, we had just got together just to play for this tournament," McClinton said. "Some of those junior national team players, they're going to be playing pro for
their countries. They're going to be Olympians. They're 15 and they're playing better than college athletes."
As the only returner, McClinton found herself in a leadership role with the developmental team, which is a role she'll also be expected to take on with the Jayhawks this season as one of only two seniors.
"Just helping with alleviating any travel stresses and being able to know international volleyball — it's just run differently than American volleyball," McClinton said. "I was able to get players adjusted to that. That shows leadership. Taking care of your team comes number one."
McClinton spent the offseason trying to become a six-rotation player like the rest of the Jayhawk outside hitters have become. Though spring with Coach Ray Bechard was nice, she said the best training for her came from the real game experience overseas, where subs are limited and she was forced to play the back row. Though McClinton missed time with her Jayhawk family, Bechard supported his leading kill-getter in her time abroad.
"She came to us and said it was a great opportunity for her a couple of years ago, and she played a more expanded role this summer on a high level team," Bechard said. "She got six or eight matches in the summer when our kids were busy — they were doing conditioning and that kind of thing — but you can't replace the kind of scrimmage she got

in that situation."
Playing in Europe and Asia the last two years has opened McClinton's eyes to the possibility of playing at a professional level, and Bechard says she will have that opportunity, just as many former Jayhawks have. However, her focus remains on a desired finish in her final season as a Jayhawk.
"We would like to win the Big 12 this year," McClinton said. "Our next goal is to advance past the Sweet 16. The first year we made it past the first round, now we made it past the second round, now we want to keep advancing in rounds of the NCAA Tournament."

COMMENTARY
Embiid's comeback from injury will be aided by new teammate
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkro
Before taking up basketball,
Former Kansas center Joel Embiid's basketball life has been well documented. Embiid started playing basketball when he was 17 years old, partially because of the guidance of one player — Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.

FOR LAWRENCE & KU
Now, a trade by the Minnesota Timberwolves moves Mbah a Moute to the Philadelphia 76ers and reconnects him with Embiid. In an article in the Wall Street Journal, Ben Cohen wrote that Embiid was first invited to a basketball camp in his homeland of Cameroon when he was 17. Coaching at the camp was Mbah a Moute, who first took notice of Embiid's height. The 7-footer left an astounding first impression.
Students and Non-Students Welcome
all 82 games his rookie year and knows what it takes for his body to endure the wear and tear of an NBA season, playing multiple back-to-back games.
KU Psychological Clinic
The 76ers have no plans on winning right away this season, which will be a drastic change for Embiid, who lost a scarce amount of games during his high school and college playing days.
Embidid was a soccer and volleyball athlete, never thinking about getting his hands on another sport until later in life. The two sports cultivated his skills early on and translated well to basketball, especially in regards to his footwork.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Nothing has happened to change the status quo," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in a telephone interview Wednesday with The Associated Press. "There continues to be interest from some markets, and we continue to be interested in discussing the possibilities, but there is no plan moving forward in terms of expansion."
Several of the young players on the 76ers roster, however, went through a demoralizing 26-game losing streak last season and know how difficult it can be to bounce back.
NHL says it is only talking about expanding league
"Those were the moves that guys who had been playing for years were making." Mbah a Moute said.
In a sport where centers with an injury history can be a death sentence for teams (a la Greg Oden), the 76ers took a calculated risk other teams weren't willing to take when they chose Embid third overall in the draft.
When Sam Hinkie, the 76ers general manager, took Embid, he was taking the player he would become, not what he is currently. While it's a scary proposition, Embid can become a top-five center and defensive linchpin for at least a decade if he can stay on the floor.
Embiid didn't play in Kansas' last six games due to a stress fracture in his back. He probably won't see the court until after New Year's Day at the very earliest, and that's being generous. He could even be out until next fall.
Mbah a Moute played in
The 7-footer needs a personality he can lean on — someone who has also had to overcome injuries. Enter Mbah A Moute, who had a knee injury before the 2012-13 season but came back with resilience, something Embid will soon have to prove he is capable of as well.
Confidential
Embiid's potential will never diminish and having Mbah a Moute at his side will ensure he can still focus on improving while sitting out, but it won't be an easy task as he tries to take his game to the next level.
The NHL has not expanded since the 2000-01 season when the Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets became the 29th and 30th franchises in the league. After last year's realignment, the Eastern Conference has 16 teams and there are 14 in the Western Conference.
Edited by Lyndsey Havens
Seattle, Toronto, Quebec City, Las Vegas and Kansas City have been mentioned as markets that might land a new team in the league.
A person with knowledge of the league's plans, speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, said reports of a possible four-team NHL expansion were news to him and "I don't believe it."
if we get to a point where there's enough interest in enough places that it warrants consideration, then the Board of Governors may well invoke a formal expansion process and we'll look at everything." NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has said. "I don't think this is something you do on a piecemeal basis."
Bettman visited Seattle to meet with local elected leaders in May to get an update on the status of a possible new arena proposed by investor Chris Hansen.
Bettman has said Seattle's arena situation has to be settled before the NHL would consider expanding
"Seattle seems to have the most number of people interested." Bettman said in June. "The fact is there's no building that's on the horizon. The person who controls the rights to build a building in Seattle is intent upon having an NBA team before he builds a building. Based on what's happened to date, and the fact that his partner has now bought a different franchise, I don't know that there's any prospect of a building in Seattle. It's nice that there's interest, but there's really not a whole lot for us to do with it."
there. Legislation approved by city and county officials called for an NBA team to be placed in Seattle first before an NHL team unless the memorandum of understanding on the project is rewritten. Hansen has said his group does not have interest in being majority owners of an NHL team.

Surfer Angelo Gullotti carries his broken surfboard after riding waves in Malibu, Calif., on Wednesday.
Pacific storm sends big waves to California coast
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.
— Thundering surf spawned by a Pacific hurricane pounded the Southern California coast Wednesday, causing minor flooding in a low-lying beach town while drawing daredevil surfers and body-boarders into churning, 20-foot waves as crowds of spectators lined the shore.
Despite the danger, surfers, body-boarders and body-surfers flocked to favorite spots such as the notorious Wedge at Newport Beach, where the interaction of swells and a jetty produced huge waves, and cars were backed up for miles along the only road to the narrow peninsula.
Big crowds watched surfers in the morning, while bodysurfers took on the surf in the afternoon.
Among them was Joshua Magner, 35, who has been surfing since he was 10, and said being in the water in Wednesday's waves was life-altering.
"It's like being born," he said as he zipped his wetsuit and prepared to go back out. "You don't know what the outcome will be, but when you do make it through all that pressure is alleviated, it's liberation, truly the feeling of liberation."
Asked if he was afraid, he replied, "I was scared leaving my house. Dude. I was scared last night. I couldn't sleep."
Some gawkers had to park nearly two miles away and walk to the scene. One man rode a skateboard, carrying a baby. A man put a sign on his car offering his parking space for cash and another was selling commemorative T-shirts for $20 apiece.
Lifeguards up and down the coast sought to keep anyone out of the water who did not have strong experience and were kept busy making
rescues all day.
In Malibu, a surfer died a day earlier after being pulled from the water but it was not clear whether the death was related to the surf or a medical condition. There were 60 rescues Wednesday in the area.
"This is our worst summer storm, and I've been here 42 years."
JERRY ROOTLIEB Santa Catalina Island resident
Residents of about four blocks of homes along Seal Beach, south of Los Angeles, swept seawater from groundfloor rooms after flooding overnight, and bulldozers reinforced a 6-foot-tall sand berm hastily built to protect shoreline structures.
The berm — a measure normally not needed until winter storms — and the use of pumps prevented more water intrusion during the morning high tide, and another test was expected close to midnight.
The towering waves and rip currents were being produced by swells generated by Hurricane Marie in the Pacific Ocean about 800 miles west of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula. While Hurricane-generated waves reached California's shores, the storm itself would remain far from the state.
Marie will likely weaken to tropical storm levels,but life-threatening water conditions were expected to continue through Thursday.
The powerful surge also tossed heavy rocks from a seawall onto a road, causing damage and closing the roadway.
Two cargo terminals at the Port of Long Beach stopped operations late Tuesday because surging, 10- to 15-foot-high waves endangered dockworkers.
On Santa Catalina Island south of Los Angeles, a heavy surge Tuesday night sent sand, water and some 3,000-pound rocks into a boatyard, causing substantial damage and tossing some dry-docked boats off their stands, Avalon Harbor Master Brian Bray said.
The surge also tore away a floating children's swim platform and closed several docks to incoming traffic.
Along the shoreline in Seal Beach, firefighters went door to door, dropping off more sandballs for residents and surveying damage after the initial surge late Tuesday that topped a 2 1/2 foot beach wall, causing flooding in or around the first row of homes. About 100 residences were affected, Concialdi said.
"This is our worst summer storm, and I've been here 42 years," said resident Jerry Rootlieb, who was sweeping out his home Wednesday.
Jaime and Blanca Brown's seaside home had a foot of seawater throughout the home, garage and carport. Soaked floor tiles in the hallway were buckled, and a dirty line marked the high point of water in almost every room and the garage. Sodden mattresses and carpets were stacked outside.
"What can you do, man? We are just trying to win the war, and we're just bringing out water. Water, water, water," said the Browns' nephew, Hector Brown.
The Malibu Pier was closed after pilings were knocked loose. The pier's structural integrity remained sound because of redundancy but people were asked to stay away, State Parks Department official Craig Sap said.
Volleyball freshmen get first taste of action
KYLE PAPPAS
@kylepap
This Friday, the Kansas women's volleyball team officially kicks off its regular season at the Kansas Invitational in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The invitational marks the beginning of a rigorous nonconference schedule leading up to the start of Big 12 play in late September.
"First and foremost the goal is, once again, to get into the postseason and so [tough competition] readies you for that," said Coach Ray Bechard at Fall Sports Media Day. "But beyond that, it does help you get ready for the Big 12 Conference."
The No. 22 Jayhawks will square off against the invitational's three other participants — Utah Valley, Lipscomb and No. 23 Creighton. The Kansas team will play two games on Friday and one on Saturday.
"Creighton is the most
noticeable team in that they have everybody returning from a team that was one match away from a Sweet 16," Bechard said. "Lipscomb is going to be a 25-to-27-win team, probably, and Utah Valley is going to be in the top couple teams of their league."
The invitational will provide the first true look at Kansas' incoming freshmen a group that ranked as the No. 15 recruiting class in the nation earlier this year by PrepVolleyball.com. The talented group of newcomers should help ease the loss of seven seniors from 2013, including All-American selection Caroline Jarmoc.
"Our fans are going to need a media guide so hopefully those are ready," Bechard said. "We have seven new players that we're really excited about. Combined, we have 11 freshmen and sophomores."

Alumni scrimmage, and they are two players who will have a chance to contribute early in their Jayhawk careers. Havili was named to the Big 12 Preseason Freshman of the Year prior to the season, while Rigdon is Pflugerville High School's all-time record holder for both kills and aces.
Outside hitter Sara McClinton will bring a veteran presence as one of only two seniors on the current roster. She is closing on 1,000 kills in her Kansas career. With two other outside hitters, senior Chelsea Albers and junior Tiana Dockery, returning as well, it's set to be the Jayhawks' strongest position.
The invitational begins Friday at 11:30 a.m. with Kansas facing off against Utah Valley. All three of the Jayhawks' matches will be televised on ESPN3.

Mundine seeks consistent play in 2014 season
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
The player who led Kansas football with five receiving touchdowns last season was not a wide receiver. The player who was second on the team in total receiving yards with 229 was not a wide receiver.
Instead, it was tight end Jimmay Mundine, who held those statistics during a season when the wide receivers struggled for offensive production. If it wasn't for some drops, the numbers would have been even higher for the senior.
Mundine's production didn't go unnoticed in the world of college football. Mundine, who is Kansas' active leader in touchdowns with nine, was named to the John Mackey Award preseason watch list earlier this summer. The award goes to the nation's most outstanding college tight end at the end of the season.
"That was a great honor to be on there because I remember my freshman year coming here, and I was looking up guys who were winning," Mundine said. "It was a very big deal, and it seemed like such a far goal for me to accomplish."
Mundine, from Denison,
Texas, caught five of the nine
touchdowns thrown by lay-
hawk quarterbacks last season.
He's one of three Big 12 tight
ends to make the list.
Despite the attention, Mundine is focusing on what happens on the field.
"To be honest, we haven't talked about it [Mackey Award] that much," said末 coach Jeff Blasko tight. "He's a pretty humble guy. He just goes about his business day-to-day and he doesn't really talk about those things."
"I see Jimmay being more consistent, playing with more confidence, playing with more focus..."
JEFF BLASKO Tight ends coach
If there is a knock to Mundine's game, it would be his inconsistency and his tendency to drop the occasional pass. Mundine dropped two crucial passes in the second game against Rice University last season.
These are things Blasko plans to work on with him.
"I see limmay being more consistent, playing with more confidence, playing with more focus, playing with more concentration," Blasko said. "The ability is there. We just have to get his mind right."
Tight ends have been a large factor in the offensive game in recent years. This year, Coach Charlie Weis has given the reins to John Reagan from Rice as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.
Blasko said even with the change, the tight end will continue to have a big place in the scheme.
"I see that to continue to be the case, especially with the personnel," Blasko said. "Although we have really four guys in the room right now who are going to compete for time this year, and I'm anxious to see how it all plays out."
Mundine had the first announced injury of the season. On Aug. 12, the team revealed that Mundine underwent a minor procedure to his knee. He is expected to start in the opening game on Sept. 6.

Cross country teams begin season Saturday
JOEY ANGUIANO
@Joey_Anguiano
At 9 a.m. Saturday, the gun will go off for the first time in almost a year for the University of Kansas cross country runners. While the teams have a few returning runners, there are expected to be quite a few new runners for the Jayhawks.
New runners still will have the pressure of holding up past successes and traditions. After a season that saw the men's team finish fifth at the NCAA regional meet, the Jayhawks hope to start the season by winning their 12th straight race on their home course, Rim Rock Farm, just east of Lawrence.
The team will have to overcome the loss of All-Region runners Josh Munsch and Reid Buchanan, who are no longer on the team. Instead of Buchanan and Munsch, look for seniors Evan Landes and James Wilson, along with the help of sophomores Alexandre Lavigne, Daniel Koech and Tyler Yunk to lead the way. Yunk took first last season at the Timmons Classic, which was his first collegiate race, and looks to continue that trend
this season.
On the women's side, expectations — like the Kansas temperatures — are on the rise. A young team with no seniors, the runners hope to get hot not only this season, but also next season. The team will be led by juniors Hannah Richardson, who was All-Big 12 and All-Regional last season, and Hayley Francis, who was a consistent finisher last season as well. The two juniors also know they can rely on the newcomers and the younger runners to help the group get points in races. Look out for redshirts Grace Morgan and Lydia Saggau to run extremely well in their first outing after injuries caused them to redshirt last season.
On Saturday, both the men's and women's teams will take on runners from Highland Community College, Iowa Western, Oral Roberts University and the University of Missouri Kansas City. The men's 6K (3.72 miles) starts at 9 a.m., and the women's 5K (3.2 miles) starts at 10 a.m.at Rim Rock Farm.

Long Davis homer lifts Pirates over Cardinals 3-1
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Ike Davis wasn't able to play meaningful late-season games during his time with the New York Mets. He's making the most of his chance with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
“It's the first time he's been involved in games that have this kind of significance this late in the season," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Wednesday after Davis' long home run keyed a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. "He's showing up to the ball-park ready contribute any way he can."
Davis hit a two-run drive off a speaker above the seats in right-center field in the second inning. A day earlier, Davis had a pinch-hit, tiebreaking, three-run homer in the eighth inning of Pittsburgh's 5-2 win.
Davis arrived in the major leagues with the New York Mets in 2010 and was traded to Pittsburgh in April. The Mets finished with losing records in all of his seasons in New York.
+
"It's hard when you're mathematically eliminated," Davis said. "You hit a home run and it's a great feeling still, but it's kind of like it didn't really matter. If you're still in it, it definitely feels a little sweeter."
Davis hit his 10th homer after Adam Wainwright (15-9) plunked Russell Martin on the left elbow with a pitch that Martin barely tried to avoid. Davis sent an 88 mph cutter clanking off a speaker raised on a pole, about 15 feet above the seats, a drive estimated at about 433 feet.
"Right now, he's not at his best, but he showed some good signs today."
MIKE MATHENY
Cardinals manager
"I just got the barrel on it," Davis said. "It just carried out today."
Wainwright knew he made a mistake when he saw where his pitch was headed.
"I threw it right into Ike's swing path, and he made a good swing on it," Wainwright said. "I wanted to get the pitch higher, but I got it and down and in, and that's a left-handed hitter's honey spot right there."
Davis also had an inning-ending lineout that left the bases loaded in the fifth.
Pittsburgh took two of three from the defending NL champions and has won five of seven overall. St. Louis (71-61) leads the NL wild-card race, with San Francisco (69-62) trailing by 1 1/2 games and the Pirates (69-64) one game back of the Giants for the second wild-card berth.
Jeff Locke (6-3) allowed one run and six hits in 7 1-3 innings, giving up Matt Holiday's third-inning homer. Locke also singled in the third and scored on Andrew Mc-Cutchen's sacrifice fly, just the 11th hit for the pitcher in 98 career at-bats.
Locke escaped trouble in the third, stranding Daniel Descalso on third when Josh Harrison made a diving stop on Randal Grichuk's two-out grounder down the line and threw to first
Mark Melancon pitched a one-hit ninth for his 24th save in 28 chances.
Wainwright allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings. He gave up five runs to Philadelphia on Aug. 22 and has gone winless in consecutive starts for just the second time this season.
"You're not going to be at your best all time." Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Right now, he's not at his best, but he showed some good signs today."

Kansas hopes to push winning streak further
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
After an undefeated opening weekend, Coach Mark Francis and his team will attempt to continue their winning streak this weekend against the University of Texas at San Antonio and Wake Forest University.
While Kansas and UTSA have never faced off, the Jayhawks played ranked Wake Forest two years ago — the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Kansas is looking to take the lead in the series on Sunday at 1 p.m.
After ending their season with a 5-12-2 record last
year, UTSA started strong with a 2-0 opening weekend against Houston Baptist and Sam Houston State. The Roadrunners were averaging about 15 shots per game, so in order to succeed tomorrow, the Jayhawks' defense needs to tighten up and allow fewer shots on the goal.
Similarly, the Mustangs were allowing an average of 14 shots per game, meaning Kansas must capitalize on the chances they are given. Francis' new offense — a strategy he deems rather untraditional — should present the Jayhawks with such an opportunity so long as they minimize offside calls.
Kansas will have additional help this weekend as the team is expected to welcome back sophomore defender Aurélie Gagnet, who has yet to play in a Jayhawk uniform this year. Gagnet was playing for France's U20 National team. Gagnet was deemed Big 12 All-Newcomer last season, averaged 74 minutes and finished with 13 starts.
"We have to stay focused," freshman Eli Mayr said after Kansas' victory against SMU. "To win the first two games is really important and we want to continue it [tomorrow]."

Will the volleyball team improve upon its 2013 Sweet 16 appearance?
By G.J. Melia
@ GJmelia
"NO"
The Kansas women's volleyball team enters 2014 after
enters 2014 after one of its best seasons in the school's history. The 2013 season featured a second place finish in the Big 12, and an NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearance, which was the first for the Jayhawks.
The expectations are high this year, as the team is ranked No. 22 in the preseason rankings. It is ready to make another tournament run, even after losing seven seniors from last year.
Of those seven seniors lost, three of them stand out. First and foremost is middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc. Jarmoc was an All-American during her last two years in Lawrence and served as a team leader in kills. She is the all-time leader in blocks (555) and attack percentage (.327).
Next, the defensive side took a big hit with the graduation of defensive specialist Brianne Riley. She is the Kansas all-time leader in digs (2,053), and was one of the most experienced players on this team. She is the second
all-time leader in sets played (453), behind Caroline Jarmoc (475).
Lastly, setter Erin McNorton is a huge loss. As her stats and title indicate, the 2013 Big 12 Setter of the Year undoubtedly held the Jayhawks together, leading the Big 12 in assists, and the team in double-doubles.
These three losses do have viable replacements in freshman Ainise Havili, sophomore Cassie Wait and sophomore Tayler Soucie.
Havili, a setter out of Fort Worth, Texas, was named the 2014 Preseason Freshman of the Year and will look to fill the spot of McNorton. Wait, a defensive specialist from Gardner, will try to take Riley's spot. Wait does have some experience from last year and was the Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year during her senior year of high school.
Soucie is a middle blocker from Osawatomie who will fill the spot of Jarmoc, arguably the biggest loss from last season. Soucie impressed everyone with a breakout freshman campaign, a freshman blocks record of 135, the title of AVCA Midwest Freshman of the Year and her place on the All-Big 12 Freshman Team. She has expressed confidence in her new role, and her success is vital for the team.
Chelsea Albers and Sara McClinton and junior Tiana Dockery. Both Albera and McClinton were awarded as a AVCA Honorable Mention All-American and All-Big 12 First Team in 2013.
+
The only upperclassmen on the roster are the outside hitters. These include seniors
Then there's the schedule, and it's daunting. The Jayhawks face No. 1 and defending National Champion Penn State, No. 23 Creighton and No. 24 American in nonconference. In conference play, they play No. 2 Texas twice. In addition, Oklahoma and Iowa State received votes in the NCAA rankings, and will look to crack the two of the Big 12.
By pure talent and coaching alone, this team should make the NCAA Tournament. The Jayhawks have an incredibly promising volleyball future ahead of them, but now may not be a time when they can make another deep tournament run. One could raise the debate that 2013 was the best team in Kansas volleyball history. After losing seven seniors and having only three upperclassmen, it's difficult to see how the Jayhawks can beat a season like last year with such a lack of experience.

"YES"
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard knows his team is viewed as inexperienced by those outside of the team.
With just as many "newcomers" as "returners"
— terms the upperclassmen leaders decided to utilize rather than class names — the youth on Bechard's team is a common concern around the volleyball program. But the young squad is the closest Bechard could get to an experienced group.
Bechard has a photo on the team's notebook of its matchpoint against Creighton in 2013 to advance to the Sweet 16, which shows four players on the court: sophomore middle blocker Tayler Soucie, junior outside hitter Tiana Dockery, sophomore defensive specialist Cassie Wait and senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers.
These four, as well as senior Sara McClinton — who led the team with 3.13 kills per
set last season — are a strong foundation of returners for the lajyhawks to build on. The newcomers join Bechard's program with a bulk of experience as well.
One of the team's biggest losses came with setter Erin McNorton, who led the Big 12 in assists over the past two seasons and consistently ranked among the top-five setters in the nation. Bechard did the best he possibly could to replace her with freshman Ainise Havili, from Fort Worth, Texas. Havili represented the United States on the Women's Junior National Team, which took gold at the NORCECA Continental Championship.
She was already named the Big 12 Presseason Freshman of the Year, and showed out at the team's recent scrimmage with 43 assists and 14 digs, solidifying her starting spot as a setter for the Jayhawks.
Pair the sizable precedents that have been set for Havili with the team's outside hitters — far and away Kansas' strongest position
and the Jayhawks have an attack that will be hard for most of their opponents to match. The outside hitter position includes the team's lone seniors: Albers and McClinton, both All-Big 12 First Team in 2013 as well as AVCA Honorable Mention All-Americans.
and the position is rounded out with a face that has already impressed: Madison Rigdon, a six-rotation freshman from Pfugerville, Texas. Rigdon led the team at last weekend's scrimmage with a team-high 18 kills and 11 digs. Although she won't play much of a role other than for depth this season, she is a nice asset for the Jayhawks to store.
Of the eight middle blockers and defensive specialists, five are freshmen, but both positions are led by some experience. At middle blocker, where the team lost a Kansas legend in Caroline Jarmoc, Soucie — the AVCA's Midwest Region Freshman of the Year in 2013 — will take the reins. The Kansas native broke the Jayhawk record for blocks in her 2013 debut season and was named to the Big 12 Preseason Team.
The three upperclassmen outside hitters return 80 percent of last season's kill
VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT KANSAN.COM
Wait, a Gardner native returns to lead on the defensive end. She comes into this season with the team's third most digs in her freshman year.
With a team that's rushing with new talent, it's easy to forget they have the back-to-back Big 12 coach of the year coalescing the new talent with a set of returners who carried the Jayhawks to their best ever tournament finish. This team can surely make it back to the Sweet 16, and it'll be up to the returners to see just how much further the Jayhawks can go this season.
