Fear deters students from regular STD testing
ALLISON CRIST

While many students are aware of the existence of Watkins Memorial Health Center, many do not know all of the services are available. This is especially true when it comes to the different types of tests offered for STDs and HIV.
Despite people ages 15-24 accounting for nearly half of the 20 million new sexually transmitted diseases diagnosed each year, many of them will go untested for a long time, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Even though there are many reasons college students avoid getting tested, fear seems to be the most common, said Douglas Dechairo, the director and chief of staff at Watkins.
"I think a lot of students
Programs within Student Health Services work to educate those on campus to both prevent this type of fear and promote the importance of health care.
want to know, but yet they fear knowing," Dechairo said.
Even though fear could be the factor holding many students back from getting tested, money is another.
"College obviously isn't cheap. Spending money on anything extra, like food or going out, takes a lot of convincing, but when it comes to any type of health issue, it's always better safe than sorry," said Hannah Stegall, a sophomore from Lawrence.
However, that "anything extra" for some students turns out to be getting tested for STDs, only making them more hesitant to spend money.
Since Watkins offers a full range of tests for STDs and HIV, the prices vary.
test. Dechairo said.
"We do see some cases of Gonorrhea and Herpes. Very rarely, we'll come across HIV", Dechairo said.
"Nothing's free. Money is
always a limitation that comes with health care, which is why we try to keep our rates low to accommodate that," Dechairo said.
Other tests include hepatitis B and C, HPV and syphilis.
Chlamydia happens to be the most commonly found STD on campus, as well as one of the most expensive ones to
Each of these are subject to a drawing fee of $11.40, but students are only charged once despite the number of tests done.

Each of these are subject to a drawing fee of $11.40, but students are only charged once despite the number of tests done.
- Combination of Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and HPV: $80.00
"Often times, students will pay in cash so they don't risk their parents seeing a charge on the insurance bill. They will always have that option to pay up front," Dechairo said. "However, if students prefer billing their insurance, they are directed to a triage nurse who then creates medical records for the student."
In comparison with Lawrence Memorial Hospital, the prices for tests are cheaper at Watkins since they are a clinic, Dechairo said.
"We are always looking for ways to reduce costs as much as possible," Dechairo said. "We don't want students to be afraid because of money."
Despite cheaper costs, some students still may be hesitant

to gef tested at Watkins out of fear of embarrassment. However, Dechairo believes this should not be an issue at all.
Alex Carter, a freshman from Bonner Springs, is glad to be a part of a college that has a health center with such a large range of resources.
"It's good to know that Watkins offers lots of different types of services to fit every student's needs," Carter said.

Students, departments respond to work policy
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHartford
The Student Employee Eligibility Requirements and Appointment Limits policy, which limits student workers to working less than 30 hours a week, is causing confusion for students and University departments alike.
The confusion stems from multiple issues, including the eligibility of employees for health coverage, the policy's implementation and how the policy will affect graduate teaching assistants.
In order to address the confusion, the University Department of Human Resources is currently discussing the policy with departments and answering students' questions.
Ola Faucher, director of the University's HR department, said they are willing to meet with both groups and individuals to answer whatever questions they may have about the new policy.
Faucher also said that despite its complexity, she has received neither negative nor positive responses to the latest policy update.
"It's a complicated law and we are trying to address its nuances." Faucher said.
During the transition period from the old policy, it is up to the department's discretion to decide whether or not to allow students to work up to 29 hours a week.
of student housing, says that the policy does not have a major effect on the department because they have many student employees, including salary positions, like RAs.
Diana Robertson, director
"It's a complicated law and we are trying to address its nuances."
"A fraction of employees work more than 20 to 25 hours." Robertson said. "The reality is that we hire enough students [that] few people will need to work in the 29-hour range."
Does the new policy affect you? Do you still have questions? Let us know. @KansanNews or editor@kansan.com
Nicole Schuh, a junior from Cary, Ill., who works 12 to 15 hours each week at the front desk of Oliver Hall, said that it's uncommon for students to approach 30 hours of work each week.
"If [someone is] close to the
maximum, then they have to release their shifts to other people and hope that people pick them up," Schuh said.
Schuh said the policy hasn't had a noticeable effect on her because the housing department has worked with her to make sure she has the hours that she wants.
Samantha Levine, a senior from Leawood who works at the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Office of First-Year Experience, said she doesn't have to worry about balancing two on-campus jobs.
"In the future, if I'm looking to make more money, then I don't know if [the policy] will benefit me because it's so nice to have a job on campus because it's easy to go to, but if I need to make more money then I will have to look elsewhere, at off-campus jobs," Schuh said.
Levine works at least five mandatory hours as a peer mentor at the Office of First-Year Experience and four to five hours as a geographic designer for the Office of Multicultural Affairs each week.
"The Office of Multicultural Affairs has a good deal with me where I do as much as I can," Levine said. "I'm happy with the hours I'm given because I want the job but not too much to handle."

The next time students take the Medical College Admissions Test, it will be a new and expanded version.
The test, which has been offered since 1928, will now contain two additional sections: social, psychological, and biological foundations of behavior, as well as critical analysis and reasoning skills.
"It's a long and difficult test, and that's what.I think it's intended to be," said KU alumna Jen McAllaster, a surgeon at St. Francis General, Vascular, and Bariatric Surgery at Tallgrass Surgical Center in Topeka.
"I think the new MCAT is
pre-med students that will soon be taking the new MCAT have taken notice of the changes.as well.
The addition of more sections to the four-and-a-half hour test will increase the time needed to take the test by approximately two hours. However, the Association of American Medical Colleges' website says the addition "recognizes the importance of socio-cultural and behavioral determinants of health and health outcomes."
a great indicator for how the field of medicine is growing," said Rajvi Shah, a sophomore from Overland Park who is pre-med. "It's being recognized that not everything is a hard science. Medicine is a way of treating people, not just a diagnosis."
"It is a big change," said Paul Crosby, a pre-med advisor at the University. "It's going to have a lot of the same flavor, and some of the questions, content and materials that
had been developed to help prepare for the current test will still be helpful for the future test."
"I'm nervous for it. But if they're adding it then it must be necessary."

drink less, wear seatbelts, wed have much greater life expectancies. So how to influence people to make those behavioral changes is important."
The MCAT is very important to hopeful medical students, because a student's test score wields significant power in medical schools' admissions offices.
Crosby believes that part of the reason these particular changes to the test are being made is the awareness in the medical field that "medicine is not just medicine."
"A lot of health care issues are behavioral," Crosby said. "If we would all eat less, exercise more, stop smoking,
"It's certainly a test with very high stakes," said McAllaster. McAllaster said she thinks that the addition of new material to the test could be driven by the test's aim of finding someone who can perform well across a wide knowledge base and in high-pressure situations.
While the more strenuous test may be a source of anxiety for students, some students concede the importance of keeping the test up to date with the field of medicine.
Police and firefighters work on the scene where five people were killed after an airplane crashed in a field northwest of the main runway at Erie Municipal Airport while coming in for a landing in Erie, Colo., on Sunday.

Five killed in plane crash in Colo.
ERIE, Colo. — All five people aboard a small plane that crashed near an airport north of Denver have died, a spokesman for the National Transportation Board said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Piper PA-46 airplane crashed near the Erie Municipal Airport about 11:50 a.m., NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said Sunday afternoon. Shortly after the crash, three people were declared dead at the scene and two were taken to hospitals.
The Boulder Daily Camera reports that their names and ages are being withheld by the Weld County Coroner's Office pending notification of
Erie Police Cmdr. Lee Mathis said the six-passenger plane crashed a few hundred yards northwest of the runway, but he did not know if it was landing or taking off. A photo of the crash site posted on the Boulder Daily Camera's website showed the mangled wreckage of the plane, which crashed into a grassy field.
"We heard it sputtering," she said. "Then there was no sound. We knew it was a crash."
relatives.
Jan Culver told the newspaper she was with a friend in a pasture near the airport when she heard the plane and saw it flying "really, really low."
"It was a plane upside down with some folks already out of the plane," she said. "I could tell there were some bad injuries."
She saw a small cloud of dust as the plane crashed and, because she has some medical knowledge, went to the scene to help, Culver said.
The Denver Post reported that NTSB records show the airport was the scene of three crashes in 2013 and two in 2012. None of those incidents had a fatality.
The last fatality at the airport was in May 2011, when 64-year-old Christian R. Hansen crashed on takeoff in a plane he was demonstrating for a potential buyer, according to the newspaper. The autopsy indicated Hansen had a heart attack.
The NTSB is investigating Sunday's crash. Erie is about 20 miles north of Denver.

"I'm nervous for it," said Gracie Binter, a sophomore from Wichita. "But if they're adding it then it must be necessary. I think it's important that they make changes for the future."
Shah doubts that a longer test will drastically affect students who have a desire to go to medical school.
"If you want to be a doctor," Shah said, "a longer test isn't going to deter you from reaching that endpoint."

KC-area manufacturers see skilled worker shortage
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A nationwide manufacturing boom has created openings for plenty of well-paying jobs, but company leaders in the Kansas City area say there aren't enough skilled workers available to fill them all.
As U.S. manufacturing continues its comeback from steep job losses during the recession, there are an estimated 600,000 manufacturing job openings, The Kansas City Star reported.
In the Kansas City area, several manufacturers with openings said their vacant positions would pay between $14 and $25 an hour. Some would be union jobs and others nonunion — either direct employment or through temporary or contract agencies.
Employers say they can't find the talent they need to run their sophisticated factory equipment, and school-to-work programs linking high school and college students with industrial employers are taking too long to reap results.
"It really has to start in junior high," said Steve Hasty,
owner and president at A&E Custom Manufacturing in the Fairfax area of Kansas City, Kan. "We can train our own welders, but it has to start with people who have respect for what we do, who are accountable for their actions, who are able to complete a sentence that our customers can understand.
"Some applicants can't even read a ruler, let alone operate calipers or other measuring devices."
JOHN PATRICK
President of Clay &
Bailey Manufacturing
That's a common refrain from employers in any industry, but in the increasingly high-tech manufacturing world, it has become a national outcry.
"We're talking reading, writing, arithmetic, plus an attitude of 'What can I help you do?' rather than 'What can you do for me?"
basic math skills," said John Patrick, president of Clay & Bailey Manufacturing in east Kansas City, Mo., which makes fittings and accessories for the petroleum tank business. "Some applicants can't even read a ruler, let alone operate calipers or other measuring devices."
Training workers can come at a steep cost, said Jeff Owens, president of Advanced Technology Services, a training company that was spun off from Caterpillar to provide tech training to other companies.
"We're finding a lack of
"You could spend $10,000 a year per employee in training to ramp up their skills," he said. "That's a high number, but it's do-able for big manufacturers. The challenge for smaller companies is to get an employee to the necessary skills," sometimes starting below zero" with math ability.
There wouldn't be any shortage of qualified workers if companies would invest in training new hires, said Dave Flanders, president of Christopher and Long, a recruiting company.
Eating habits improve, except among the poor
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Americans' eating habits have improved — except among the poor, evidence of a widening wealth gap when it comes to diet. Yet even among wealthier adults, food choices remain far from ideal. a 12-year study found.
On an index of healthy eating where a perfect score is 110, U.S. adults averaged just 40 points in 1999-2000, climbing steadily to 47 points in 2009-10, the study found.
Higher scores mean greater intake of heart-healthy foods including vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats, and a high score means a low risk of obesity and chronic illnesses including heart disease, strokes and diabetes. Low scores mean people face greater chances for developing those ailments.
Scores for low-income adults were lower than the average and barely budged during the years studied. They averaged almost four points lower than those for high-income adults at the beginning; the difference increased to more than six points in 2009-10.
The widening rich-poor diet gap is disconcerting and "will have important public health implications," said study co-author Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health. Diet-linked chronic diseases such as diabetes have become more common in Americans in general, and especially in the poor, he noted.
"Declining diet quality over time may actually widen the gap between the poor and the rich." Hu said.
Harvard School of Public Health researchers developed the healthy diet index used for the study. It is similar to federal dietary guidelines but features additional categories including red and processed meats, sugar-sweetened beverages and alcohol.
"Declining diet quality over time may actually widen the gap between the poor and the rich."
FRANK HU Study co-author
The study authors used that index along with government estimates on trans fat intake to evaluate information in 1999- 2010 national health surveys that included interviews with people about their eating habits. The results are published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Hu said the widening diet gap reflects an income gap that deepened during the recent financial crisis, which likely made healthy food less affordable for many people. Hu also noted that inexpensive highly processed foods are often widely available in
low-income neighborhoods.
The overall diet improvement was largely due to decreased intake of foods containing trans fats but the disappointing results point to a need for policy changes including better nutrition education, Hu said.
In recent years the government and manufacturers have moved to phase out use of artificial trans fats in foods including processed cookies, cakes, frozen pizza and margarines. Trans fats contribute to unhealthy cholesterol levels and can increase heart disease risks. These fats are made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil to improve texture and shelf life.
The study authors say their results are consistent with an earlier report showing that "nearly the entire U.S. population fell short of meeting federal dietary recommendations."
The federal guidelines are updated every five years and new ones will be issued next year. The current recommendations emphasize limiting intake of trans fats, sodium, processed foods and added sugars. They don't specify amounts but encourage diets high in whole grains, vegetables and fruits.

KU's alma mater lacks originality
In the past few days, I have linked arms with strangers and sung the alma mater at least three times. Similar to last year, the backs of this year's class shirts are the lyrics printed above the Coca-Cola logo. They are posted on the Jumbotron at Memorial Stadium and in Allen Fieldhouse during games. When we join together and sing the alma mater it feels special and exclusive to the University, as though becoming part of the tradition makes us closer to our fellow Jayhawks. However, many students don't know that our alma mater tune is the same as many of our rival institutions, and even some high schools.
The tune of the song
originated from Hunter S. Thompson's song "Annie Lisle," as found in an archived online article from 2005 in the Cornelliana. The Cornell alumni magazine compares "Annie Lisle" as the Johnny Appleseed of school songs. Originally, Cornell roommates Archibald Crosswell Weeks and Wimot Moses Smith created the lyrics and set it to the tune of "Annie Lisle." It was titled, "Far Above Cayuga's Waters," referencing Cayuga Lake. Later, many other universities took the song and tweaked the lyrics to fit their needs. KU is only special because it was the first to poach the tune.
KU Professor George Penny led the brigade by making Cornell's song fit the University. The tale says
By Anrenee Reasor
@anreneer
he was leading the Glee and Mandolin Club to a trip in Denver in 1891, when there was no school song in existence. He remembered Cornell's song and changed the lyrics in order to apply to KU. Soon after, many other schools followed suit including peer institutions: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Missouri, Indiana University and the University of Georgia. The list continues to extend to Syracuse,
Vanderbilt, William and Mary, and many more.
At the end of our alma mater we say, "Hail to old KU!" while other schools sing "For the glory of old IU." "Shouting NCU," or "Hail, all hail, Cornell!" When we feel unique for singing our alma mater, we should note that only the lyrics and singers are different. Despite the mass appeal to "Annie Lisle," each school made it special to its own institution by making changes, but in the end it is still the same.
If you search a few YouTube videos, you can see, and hear, other school's bands perform the tune, hearing their variation of the lyrics. Unfortunately, our alma mater is not unique. It's special to us because we're Jayhawks, but imagine if
our song were completely original. We could highlight our alma mater and set us apart from other universities.
Should students feel differently about our alma mater now? I admit that I did. Though unpopular to express, my pride in our song has diminished. Maybe your view will change too, knowing it's not exclusive, but the very opposite. Understanding the history can change how we look at it. Despite our views on the song, we will still sing proudly.

American court system discriminates against poor
America's court system is increasingly burdening poor citizens. New court costs (often questionable, constitutionally) have been implemented by many states. These fees disproportionately affect the economically disadvantaged as the fees are fixed and do not take into account the defendants' economic standing. The morality of counties obtaining revenue through court fees, particularly when the practice targets the poor, is unfair and the legality of these practices needs to be examined and challenged.
LETTER GUIDELINES
The majority of states, according to the New York Times and National Public Radio, now allow
district courts to charge for room and board, a jury and probation supervision. Many courts are taking advantage of this freedom, asking defendants to pay hundreds to thousands of dollars for these services. The state of Washington goes so far as to charge $250 for a 12-person jury. Most Americans assume that these services are free, as the Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to representation by an attorney and trial by jury. Additionally, in the early 1980s, the Supreme Court ruled that an individual cannot be jailed simply because they do not have the economic means to pay their court fees. Today, many states and courts

The effect of increasing court fees is most evident in low-income populations. Middle or upper class offenders who have money to pay court fees may not notice the extra charges. However, poorer individuals who are unable to pay the fees face time in jail, often for minor
are operating in blatant disregard of the Sixth Amendment and previous suits.
offenses like traffic violations. Additionally, many courts are able to collect interest on the debt that prisoners owe, further deepening the problem. Most court systems have ways for inmates to work off their debt, such as community service. However, NPR reports that some court systems charge a fee for the community service that is intended to lessen inmates' debt.
Jailing individuals who cannot pay their court fees traps people in a cycle of poverty, essentially reintroducing the concept of debtors' prisons to the United States. Charging fees for services that are constitutionally guaranteed is an unacceptable way to
generate county revenue. This problem cannot be solved with implementing repayment plans or waiving the fees for some individuals. Instead, the issue needs to be challenged legally, as it has been in some places. America's court system needs to ensure that no discrimination is taking place based on the class of the individual being tried.

MILES TO GO
KU student bikes across U.S. to build affordable housing
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Jake Bruce, a junior from Shawnee, biked over 4,000 miles with the Bike & Build Organization, creating affordable housing along the way. Bruce biked over 70 miles a day on his journey.
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKJI
Last semester, The Kansan interviewed Jake Bruce, a junior from Shawnee, who was preparing for a Bike & Build ride across America. The Bike & Build Organization is a nonprofit that funds affordable housing projects. Bruce spent the summer biking from South Carolina to Santa Cruz with a team of 33 people who helped create affordable housing along their 4,241-mile long route. These are excerpts from an interview after his journey.
Q: What was it like to bike over 70 miles a day?
Q: What kind of problems did you face during your journey?
A: I definitely did enough training and that surprised me because I felt like biking across America required an elite status of being a cyclist but the truth is almost all of us were amateur riders. The first couple of days people were sore, I was sore. I started getting butt sores and stuff like that, I mean it's kind of gross, but after the first week or two your body just kind of gets used to it, just like anything.
A: I would say, our biggest problem, our route had two accidents with cars. We were
6
in Oklahoma, it was Maddie and Abbie [two members of the organization] and they were riding up the hill, in single file on the very side, on the shoulder. Right as they were about to get to the top, a car decided to pass them so they were in oncoming traffic at that time and a semi came over the top and they swerved right and they hit Maddie directly on her bike and so she severed her calf and broke her leg. That pushed Maddie into Abbie who broke her heel bone. We all sat around in Henryetta and got the news as a team because they didn't want to group text everyone that someone got hit. It was hard, people started crying and we wrote letters that night. That was definitely the hardest part.
bike days
rest days
17 build days
Q: What do you look back on most fondly?
The journey was 4,241 miles, through 13 states, over the course of 82 days.
A: One hundred percent, the awesome relationships that we all made on the route. I mean, you literally, within the first two or three days, become best friends with half the people on the route and within two weeks you know everyone really well. Every time I think of a scenario like that, it always goes to who I was riding with that day, what we talked about, what their laugh is like. It's all about the comradery with the people on the
route. So that was the thing that meant the most to me.
Q: How has this whole experience changed you?
A: I'd say for me personally, it's made me more of an outgoing person. It's definitely made me want to pursue more philanthropic services like Habitat for Humanity in Lawrence. Bike & Build made me want to actually be involved in the Lawrence community, especially with affordable housing just because it means a lot to me now. But after being impacted over the summer
and seeing how people really count on Habitat to improve the quality of their lives, it's really cool. It definitely changed me.
Q: What taught you the most on your journey?
A: I learned just how to be a genuine person. But, it is true, biking into head winds requires a really strong mental capacity to suffer because you're trying really hard and you're going nine miles an hour and you have 90 miles that day and you know you're going to be on the bike for a
really long time. I think that brings out a ton of traits in people — like being patient, perseverance and learning to not cuss into the wind. I usually don't swear at all and I lost it in New Mexico one day. Just the whole experience, staying consistent and biking across the country is just one day at a time. It's been really cool to just grow over the past summer. It was the best summer of my life.

Ladybird Diner delays grand opening
RYAN MILLER
@Rvanmiller UDK
The Ladybird Diner, located at 721 Massachusetts St. opened its doors on Aug. 29. The restaurant was supposed to open in July, but structural issues delayed the grand opening and was pushed back until last Friday.
"A diner should not run out of pie," said Meghan Heriford,
the owner of the Ladybird Diner.
Herford said that structural issues occurred while building the kitchen. Although the problems were resolved, the diner was closed down yesterday after its opening weekend and will reopen at 5 p.m. today.
"We have everything in place, and we knew we were going to be busy, but none of
us had any idea it would be this popular right away," Heriford said.
Heriford said she realized quickly after their first day that people were going to love the diner, and they would get a lot more people than expected. She decided to close down the diner on Monday and most of Tuesday due to their computer servers having issues because of the large

amount of visitors.
Various students have been eagerly awaiting the opening of the diner for several months now, and were not happy when they learned about the delay.
"So we're prepping today [Monday] so we can start off with a good lead, and so we can meet everyone's expectations," Heriford said. "It's been a herky-jerk start, so we're trying to dial in the systems as best as we can."
"I was kind of bummed out about it," said Haven Harpert, a junior from Hutchinson. "They would post pictures on Facebook, and everyone on Twitter was talking about it, and I feel there was a lot of anticipation for it."
Once the diner did open its doors to the public, those students were thrilled to finally experience it.
The customers took to social media and Heriford said she had nothing to do with it.
"I'm excited," Harpert said. "I think it adds a lot to the Lawrence community, and especially downtown. It fits in well."
of the social media hype. "I haven't done any advertising. I just wanted to make some pancakes, pie, and pot roast. The customers created the hype, it was no way my doing. I hope that we are able to deliver on that hype."
"I have no idea, the customers did that, I didn't. This was their campaign," Heriford said
Maggie Heck, a visitor from Hutchinson, said her friend mentioned the diner and was excited for it, so she decided to visit Ladybird. Heck said that the delay of the diner's opening was a disappointment, but she's excited that it's now open for business.
"It's really neat. I like their style," Heck said.
With a busy opening weekend, Heritford is looking forward to the coming days.
"I'm so proud of this place and this team, we have just amazing people here," Heriford said. "It's already a really loyal, tight-knit group of people."
Heriford said that she looks forward to bringing a familiar comfort food experience to Lawrence in a fun and lively space.
"Ladybird is the diner of my dreams, and it's only three days in," she said.

New horror movie average in execution
It's easy to shrug off a middle-of-the-road horror movie with a typical set-up, but the disappointment factor runs much higher when a horror flick with a stand-out premise fails to deliver on its potential.
By Alex Lamb
@lambcannon
"As Above, So Below" has an interesting enough concept and locale to forgive some of its more hackneyed moments and give a bit of leeway with over-reliance on genre tropes, yet a film where the characters become stuck in hellish underground catacombs should have a stronger bite.
Surprisingly, there's more to the narrative than expected, such as adventurous twenty-somethings getting their kicks by searching for the gates to hell. Scarlett (Perdita Weeks), a young archaeological genius and troublemaker — like if Indiana Jones had Hermione for a daughter — has discovered the secret key to the legendary philosopher's stone, which grants eternal life.
With the help of her hesitant friend George (Ben Feldman), they pinpoint its location deep in the cata-combs under Paris, enlisting a cocky urban explorer by the name of Papillon (François Civil) and his buddies to guide them through the tunnels. Documenting this all on his camera and the group's head cams is Benji (Edwin Hodge), giving the film a faux-documentary/ found footage style that brings nothing new to this convention and occasionally feels somewhat gimmicky, but also appropriate for this story.
The mythological aspects and "National Treasure" goes-to-hell feel of "As Above, So Below" engage with the most entertainment value, while the actual horror elements drive the film but aren't quite brutal enough to completely satisfy. The group runs across some creepy people, eerie situations (many of them related to traumas that haunt the characters), evil spirits and most face horrible deaths. It evokes a treasure hunt vibe with a scary twist, fairly atmospheric without music and attaining claustrophobic fear in the tight spaces at times.
Scarlett and George tackle ancient puzzles in varying tunnel formations and explain the meaning behind everything they encounter as if they're in an exciting adventure film. By the beginning of the last act, they
venture through the gates of hell and the tunnels only get weirder.
Although there are some decent thrills in this sector, opportunities are missed for particularly creative and scary visions of the underworld. Director John Erick Dowdle, who co-wrote with his brother Drew, resorts to mostly lazy, unoriginal visualizations of fear here, although at least he maintains the fair amount of momentum established through the climax. The ending sort of fizzles out, while simultaneously feeling refreshing for going a different direction from what you'd usually anticipate.
Weeks also makes Scarlett a horror heroine viewers care about, which is certainly worth something. "As Above, So Below" may not be worth the price of a ticket, but for those craving a horror fix, there's some outside-the-box-and-underground fun to be had here.

Royals attract Jayhawk fans for 'Night at the K'
DAN HARMSEN
@udk_dan
Supporter of the University of Kansas rallied to a sold-out Kauffman Stadium on Sunday to witness the first ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game in Kansas City since June 16, 1996, as the Kansas City Royals played host to the Cleveland Indians on "KU Night at the K".
Along with the meet and greet with Coach Charlie Weis and a few Kansas football players inside the stadium, the first 2,000 Jayhawk fans who brought their KU Night discounted tickets received a limited edition crimson, blue and white Royals cap.
Becca Dorsson from Prairie Village said she showed up at 4:30 a.m. to get a hat.
"But we like them." Dormson said about the hats. "It's nice having both of our teams (KU football and the Kansas City Royals) get better. We're hopeful for both."
Dorsson and her husband John, both KU grads, attended the game with their son Jake.
Mike Ament, from Denver, would not be outdone at KU Night. Even across the border on the Missouri-side of Kansas City, Ament bore a Jayhawk

across his face, completely unabashed, and optimistic for the start of football.
"I'm really excited for a winning season," Ament said of the Kansas football team. "My concern is no running back depth after those injuries. I think they need to convert (Tony) Piterson back, but I like that (sophomore quarterback Montell) Cozart kid a lot."
ESPN was on the broadcast, so the media room was filled to the brim, something Cummins and the Royals haven't seen since 1996.
Although the final outcome of the game was suspended until Sept. 22 due to rain, "KU Night at the K" was a special day for many Royals/jayhawk crossover fans. But even some Royals personnel got in on the fun.
It was a busy and stressful night but a memorable one, as well for Mike Cummings, Royals assistant director of media relations and former assistant director of communications for the Kansas football team from 2006 until 2013.
Few fans wanted to go on the record and put a number of predicted wins next to their name, but hopes are high for KU football and the first-place Royals.

"It's cool that we got to fill the stadium for KU Day with it being Sunday Night Baseball," Cummings said. "I believe we ran out of hats in the first twenty minutes that the stadium was opened."

memory in particular stood out most for the native of Fargo, N.D.
"I got the job at KU right after my internship with Virginia Tech," Cummings said. "I spent seven years with the program and worked with the baseball and football teams in the communications department." During his time in Lawrence, Cummings witnessed two Bowl game victories, a national championship in men's basketball and the rise of the baseball program. But one

"I was able to go to the Orange Bowl in 2008," Cummings said. "In my time there, that was, by far, the most fun team, and I always enjoyed working with those kids."
Things turned south a few years later, as athletic director Lew Perkins fired then-coach Mark Mangino after a player-abuse investigation, and the program took a subsequent nose-dive, losing nine games in 2010, 10 games in 2011, and 11 games in 2012.
Like the Jayhawks, the Royals find themselves in an uphill battle after years of losing. The Royals have not been to the playoffs since 1985 when the team won the World Series. In 1994, when the team was on the brink of a playoff-berth, Major League Baseball went on strike in response to the worsening financial situation of baseball, and the season was canceled.
"I think with both teams it's a 'we want to win now' attitude," Cummings said. "No more waiting around. The KU football team has been building, and it would be nice to see them be competitive."
the two teams, resources are not as plentiful as they are for some competitors.
Cummings concedes that for
"I think with both teams, the fans will understand the markets," Cummings said. "KU Football won't be able to recruit the best players in Texas all the time, and the Royals can't spend like the Red Sox and the Yankees, but they both can close the gap."
And even though Kansas football and the Kansas City Royals have often found themselves cast away in the shadows of the Kansas basketball and Kansas City Chiefs football teams, respectively. Cummings
believes the answer to that problem is simple.
"If you win, you'll get a team that draws well," Cummings said. "The media will come out — they like a good product. Kansas basketball, and I think the same with the Chiefs, they are not necessarily competitors. It all comes down to winning."
This may be the year that both teams get over that hump.
"I'd love to see Kansas make a bowl game and go 6-6, but I'll stay away from predictions on the Royals," Cummings said.
THE DAILY DEBATE

Will the Kansas City Royals make the playoffs this season?
By Ben Carroll
@BCarroll91
"NO"
The Kansas City Royals have not made the playoffs since the
last time they won the World Series 28 seasons ago. Expect the postseason drought to continue this season and nearly reach the three-decade mark.
The 1985 Royals went 91-71, had a future Hall of Fame third baseman on the team in George Brett, and scored 687 runs during the course of the season. Now, for the Royals to make the playoffs, they are going to need to repeat those numbers. With only one month left to go in the season, time seems to be running out.
As of Aug. 31, the Royals are 74-61 and have only scored 554 runs, which ranks them 54.15 in the majors, meaning they may not have enough offense left in the tank to keep themselves in front of the second-place
Detroit Tigers during the final stretch.
Their first challenge seems to be playing better than. 500 because the three teams that are chasing them — Mariners, Indians and Tigers — will be able to knock them right out of the playoff race if they don't.
The Royals are notorious to break down and run out of steam during the month of September. In the last four years, the Royals are only an average squad with a record of 54-54.
Although it is possible for the Royals to pull it off, the final 25 games remaining on the schedule don't seem to be in the Royals' favor. They have 12 games left playing teams over a .500 winning percentage: a three-game road series with both the Yankees and the Indians, and two three-game series left with the Tigers.
In the last 10 years, the Yankees have dominated the Royals in head-to-head series. In 73 games, the Royals have only won 26, which is a .356 winning percentage. The Indians have won 101 games out of 178 against the Royals.
The Tigers have one of the best pitching rotations in the
league since acquiring fourtime All-Star pitcher David Price at the trade deadline. The Royals will have to face Price, Justin Verlander or Max Scherzer at least once, if not twice, during those six games, but expect the Tigers to throw their aces at the Royals to try and regain sole possession of first place in the American League Central division.
It has been a long wait for Royals fans to get the opportunity to fill Kauffman Stadium in October, and the end of the line will come soon, but this year is not the year they get will that chance.

Hall of Famer George Brett was hitting line drives the last time the boys in blue headed
American League Central as long as we can remember. It's strange to see students actually paying attention to the Royals games at bars and checking their phones in classes for the latest score. Royals baseball is alive and fighting for the crucial spot to advance into the MLB postseason.

when Alex Gordon hit a homerun in the ninth inning that pulled them into a 2-2 tie. The conclusion to that game will be up in the air until Sept. 22 when the two teams meet at Cleveland. The game was suspended with the Royals down 2-4, midway through the 10th inning. This helped them secure first place in the AL Central over the Tigers.
The Royals have been one of the hottest teams in baseball
since the All Star break, but were on the verge of dropping four straight on Sunday night, just before a rain reprieve.
"We've been through these things before," Royals manager Ned Yost told MLB.com. "We've just got to find a way to battle through it and get a big hit."
The Royals are mixing it up, releasing long-time left-hander Bruce Chen on Friday, only a day after the 11-5 loss to Minnesota. Chen gave up six runs in the 10th inning alone.
"There just wasn't a spot for him," Yost said. "We needed somebody that could fill that role down there and be more accustomed to it."
Right-hander Louis Coleman from Triple-A Omaha will take Chen's place.
It's been a long time since Kansas City baseball dominated the fall season, and this could be the year. Kansas City has been on a 26-11 run. Now it's crunch time; time to live and die with every pitch. Get on board the Royals' bus, because Kansas City baseball is making history. There just might actually be a royal ending to this fairy tale.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"If you don't have a backup quarterback that can do it, you basically just give up your season."
Colts GM Ryan Grigson NFL.com
Michael Vick — an entrenched backup with the Jets — has a higher base salary in 2014 than 19 starting NFL quarterbacks, including Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Colin Kapernick.
FACT OF THE DAY
NFL Players Association
THE MORNING BREW
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. Which career NFL backup stepped in and brought his team back from a 26-3 halftime deficit with five consecutive touchdown drives against the Cowboys in 2013?
A: Matt Flynn
No rhyme or rhythm to the backup quarterback position
The backup quarterback position is one of the most vast and difficult-to-understand posi-
trons in the National Football League.
It's where a collection of different types of players call home. There are veterans Matthew Hasselbeck and Michael Vick, recent first-round picks Blake Bortles and Teddy Bridgewater, and career backups such as Charlie Whitehurst — who is renowned as "Clipboard Jesus" for his long hair — and Drew Stanton. All sit on the sidelines.
By Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
It's a position that Redskins president and former coach Joe Gibbs calls "the second most important position on the team" and where a player can make league minimum, or up to $5 million — the price the Bills signed Kyle Orton for on Saturday.
In 2011, teams learned just how crucial backup quarterbacks are to an NFL team. After Peyton Manning underwent multiple neck surgeries, which forced him to miss the season, the Indianapolis Colts and general manager Bill Polian failed to find someone who could step in for an entire season in place of their franchise quarterback.
The Colts went from 10-6 and AFC South champions with Manning in 2010 to 2-14 and last place in the NFL in 2011. That poor season led them to draft first-round pick Andrew Luck, but not before the entire staff was wiped clean. Polian, who now works for ESPN, once told Bengals coach Marvin Lewis that he would still be in the league had he drafted a viable backup quarterback in that April's draft.
Polian called upon Curtis Painter, a former sixth-round pick who had been groomed for two years under Manning, to do the job, but the youngster went 0-8 and struggled mightily in Manning's shoes. The Painter disaster was followed by a mix of veterans
Kerry Collins and Dan Orlovsky, who pulled out a combined two wins as the season winded down.
shying away from paying top-tier to players in the position.
In 2013, the Chiefs locked down their backup to Alex Smith by signing Chase Daniel to a three-year, $10 million deal. The same year, the Dolphins signed Matt Moore to a two-year, $8 million deal to backup Ryan Tannehill. This offseason, the Jets signed Vick to a one-year deal worth $4 million to backup 2013 first-round pick Geno Smith. Although aforementioned Orton is expected to push E.J. Manuel for the job, he comes in as the highest paid backup at $5 million.
Last season, nine teams were forced to use their backup quarterbacks within the first seven games. Only the Philadelphia Eagles and new coach Chip Kelly earned a spot in the playoffs using a backup quarterback, riding on the shoulders of 2012 third-round pick Nick Foles after Vick bit the dust.
While the price of backup quarterbacks in the NFL continues to rise, as Polian could attest after his 2011 disaster which pushed him out of the league, they are worth every last penny.
Knowing the importance of the backup quarterback position, teams aren't

COMMENTARY Charlie Weis and the five-year program
By Blair Sheade
@realblairsheady
To rebuild a football program from the ground floor, it will
ground floor, it will take five seasons, Coach Charlie Weis said. This is year three of the rebuilding process, and fans are expecting the final product.
On Dec. 10, 2011, Weis was introduced at Allen Fieldhouse during halftime of the Ohio State game. Weis wanted to relay a message to the student section. He told the fans to not be upset when the winning doesn't happen immediately. Weis said it's not easy to turn a football program around, but he also said he's going to put KU football back on the map.
Weis said his first priority was to win the battle versus Kansas State. Fans didn't understand what he meant because the Jayhawks haven't defeated the Wildcats in football since the Bush administration, but Kansas has defeated K-State in one area; recruiting.
Weis stole K-State Coach Bill Snyder's strategy for heavily recruiting junior college and in-state athletes. This season, for the first time since 2010, Kansas football out-recruited its rivals in Manhattan.
This year, Weis grabbed the No.1 running back in Kansas, Traevohn Wrench, who is attending Butler Community College after failing to meet Kansas' academic standards.
When Weis said it will take five years to get back on the map, he means that the football program will take five full seasons to be at the top of the Big 12. This doesn't mean that Kansas will be a bottom-feeding team until that five-year mark, it means that KU football will gradually improve. Weis said his fifth season will be the season that everyone's been waiting for.
Weis' recruiting success means that athletes in Kansas want to play for the KU football program. Also, this means that Weis can talk players into playing for him. There's still just one problem — winning
Fans want the final outcome to just flash in front of their eyes, but that's not how football works. If Alabama Coach Nick Saban took the job tomorrow, there wouldn't be a different outcome. The state that Turner Gill left the football program wasn't easy to come out of.
Weis didn't say five years because he wanted to surprise everyone when the program turned its losing ways around in three years. He said five years because he actually thinks the Jayhawks won't be back on the map for another two seasons.
Five years means five years, but with all-around experienced team this season, Kansas has inched itself closer to where it needs to be.
This week marks the start of a new season and Kansas' upward climb.

Upset over No.24 Wake Forest caps triumphant weekend for Kansas soccer
FRANK WIERICH/KANSAN
BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
Kansas soccer is off to its best start in five years after another weekend sweep of games over the University of Texas at San Antonio and Wake Forest. During Sunday's game, Coach Mark Francis captured milestone win number 200 at the very first chance he got.
UTSA came into Lawrence on Friday looking to shine against a short-handed Kansas team. Senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud and senior defender Caroline Van Slambrouck were both suspended due to a violation of team rules, Francis said. Two freshmen got to start in their place: goalkeeper Maddie Dobyns and defender Katie Rostamo.
The two teams remained scoreless until the 65th minute when junior midfielder Liana Salazar shot the ball 20 yards out at the top of the box that reached the back of the net to put the Jayhawks up 1-0. It wasn't soon after when UTSA forward Brianna Livecchi headed in a cross from the far right side to even the score.
Just 43 seconds later, freshman forward Lois Heuchan scored the game-winning goal with a long shot that snuck by the goalkeeper.
"I thought they gave us a good fight," Francis said. "I thought they would be the best team we played so far, which I thought they definitely were. I thought the players handled it well."
That would be all the scoring the Jayhawks would need to secure Dobyns' first win as a Javhawk.
Francis said that the toughness of the team is what will get them up and over those tough Big 12 teams and other ranked opponents. He added that his team thrives in big situations like that.
Kansas had another tough opponent to face off against on Sunday. Wake Forest came into the Jayhawk Soccer Complex ranked No.24 with a chip on its shoulder after a 2-1 defeat at the hands of James Madison on Friday.
lead. Wake Forest couldn't recover from that large deficit as the Jayhawks defeated the Demon Deacons 4-1.
"I think just the fight in this team is unbelievable," Francis said. "There's people slide tackling, there's people grabbing people, there's people hustling. When it gets down to the conference and those close games against good teams, those are the difference makers and it's going to be those factors rather than the soccer because everybody is going to be good."
For the second game in a row, Kansas scored a pair of goals less than a minute apart as the team built a 3-0
"We just look for each other, play off each other and get he job done."
ALI KIMURA Senior forward
Kansas has yet to be trailing any team during a match so far this season. Francis thinks
the success to this season lies within the character of the players.
"You could just tell one of our core values is resilience," Francis said. "I think the girls have really taken that to heart."
The team plays well together and flourishes off of unselfish passing, like the pass senior forward Ali Kimura made to Liana Salazar against Wake Forest. Instead of Kimura scoring her third goal in the final minutes against Wake Forest, she passed it to her wide-open teammate for the easy score.
"We just look for each other, play off each other and get the job done." Kimura said. "We've been working on the offense a lot, and it feels great for it to be paying off"
The Jayhawks are now 4-0 for the season and will bring the momentum with them to Colorado next weekend where they look to remain undefeated.
“It's been a magic season for us to start the season,” Salazar said. “We just have to keep going.”

McClinton named MVP at invitational
MATT CORTE
@Corte UDK
Kansas volleyball (2-1) started its season on a positive note over Labor Day weekend, claiming the title of its own invitational while ushering in a new wave of freshmen.
The young Jayhawks squad didn't finish the tournament unscathed, losing to Lipscomb in five sets Friday night, but its final victory against Creighton on Saturday was enough to give the team the crown.
"It could've been a great weekend, but it's a good weekend." Coach Ray Bechard said. "And it really could have been, without a good result today, a subpar weekend. But they made it a good weekend with a good effort today."
Freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon tied for the team high in aces with five, freshman middle Kayla Cheadle led the team in blocks with 15, and freshman defensive specialist Addison Barry played in every set of the tournament.
seven newcomers played extensively throughout the tournament, and all of them brought something different to the table.
Senior outside hitter Sara McClinton goes for a spike in Saturday's game against Creighton. Kansas won 3-1.

Senior outside hitter Sara McClinton was the X-factor against Creighton, totaling a match-high 18 kills and cementing herself as tournament MVP in the process.
The freshman class, ranked No. 15 by PrepVolleyball. com coming into the season, proved early that they will be invaluable for Bechard this season. Four of the

percentage, the Lady Bisons swept the last three sets to stun the No. 22 ranked Jayhawks.
Because Creighton defeated Lipscomb earlier in the tournament, Kansas still had a shot at winning the title due to the tiebreaker rules. The Jayhawks just had to defeat Creighton, and do so in four or fewer sets.
However, from the third set on, Lipscomb dominated. Behind an improved kill

Kansas was able to take care of business in the fourth game after losing the third, dominating Creighton and winning the final set 25-16, securing first place.
Kansas, Creighton and Lipscomb each ended with a 2-1 weekend record. The tiebreaker looked at fewest sets
lost, which eliminated Lipscomb from contention. The Jayhawks then won the meet after defeating Creighton in the head-to-head meeting.
The Jayhawks' next test will be this weekend at the Denver Invitational. They will face Bradley and Sam Houston State on Sept. 5, followed by Denver on Sept. 6.

LPD, bomb squad investigate suspicious package
ALLISON KITE
@allie kite
The Lawrence Police Department responded to a call reporting a suspicious package on 11th Street between Vermont and Massachusetts streets around 12:30 p.m.
The suspicious package, which Sgt. Trent McKinley described as a "black duct-taped package," contained a bottle with a still-unidentified liquid inside. McKinley said when the
police department received the call, officers identified the package as a potential explosive, and blocked off that section of 11th Street. The bomb disposal squad from Leavenworth County arrived and began testing.
Though the bomb disposal squad and the police department don't yet know what is inside the bottle, they determined it was benign, meaning the area is safe for citizens. The squad took the package to its facility in Leavenworth County
for further testing, and the police department reopened the street at 3:45 p.m.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
McKinley said at this time the police department does not know who placed the package or their intent. He said anyone who may have information should call the police department at 785-832-3000.
The Kansan is still reporting on this story; check back for more details.

Jayhawk Boulevard will be closed between Sunflower Road and Poplar Lane this week, beginning at 10:30 p.m. each night and open back up at 6 a.m. each morning until Saturday morning, weather permitting, said Paul Graves, the deputy director of the Office of Design and Construction Management.
Graves said this is due to landscaping on Jayhawk Boulevard. Construction for the new business school building will close Schwegler Drive to eastbound traffic. According to Graves, vehicles will be redirected to Lot 90 and Watkins Student Health Center via 18th Street until Sept. 12, when Schwegler Drive is re-opened, weather
permitting. He said buses will still be running.
Graves said Engel Road is expected to be under construction until mid-September, due to the building of two new residence halls on Daisy Hill. Since parking lots 102 and 103 have been permanently closed, temporary parking is available at the Lied Center.
"The construction sites are supposed to be fenced so that it protects students from inadvertently walking into them, and in some cases that requires sidewalks to be rerouted or temporary detours, like the one on Schwegler, but for the most part, it should be fairly minimal impact for students," Graves said.

For a neighborhood to be in a "food desert," it has to be a mile away from healthy, affordable food. Many residents in the Northeast corner of Lawrence are considered part of one of these areas, which are characterized by long commutes to grocery stores that can be up to three miles away.
When the new Lawrence Public Library opened July 26 and its temporary location, which was previously Borders, at Seventh and New Hampshire streets became vacant, Lawrence residents in adjacent neighborhoods formed a grassroots coalition to advocate for the space to become a grocery store.
This band of neighborhood associations is comprised of over 600 members, and the members most adamant about
"When we started out, we wanted this to be a purely community effort," said David Crawford, a Lawrence resident who has been spearheading the effort. "We went to the homeowners."
The effort has been going on for eight months and has overwhelming support from the City of Lawrence, including Brady Pollington, the Economic Development Project Manager for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Pollington said he supports the effort and believes it will bring jobs to the downtown area.
Crawford said that during a discussion with the building owner last week, it was projected that the grocery store should be completed by the start of 2015. He said the end of negotiations is "a phone call away."
"There was not one of those organizations who did not do that," Crawford said. "All of them were 110 percent behind us, and still are."
Crawford said that in the beginning, they went to all the adjacent neighborhood associations and got them to write a letter of support for this effort and send it to the city commissioners.
"This has been a purely grassroots neighborhood association effort, and the thing that's really cool about this is that the city commissioners have stood up, and they are gah-gah with this effort," Crawford said. "This hasn't happened in Lawrence in a long time. If you think about it, this really has pulled the community to together."
The next step was to find a grocer who was conducive to the Downtown Grocery Store Project's vision.
"We decided that if a grocery was really going to make it at the downtown location, it would really help to be, particularly, a local grocery owner," Crawford said. "The cat is out of the bag now, we're targeting Checkers grocery store."
Checkers is owned by Lewis Foods Management, a family business. It acquires as much of its food as possible from local farmers and providers.
Locals such as Kristina Van Anne, a senior from Lawrence who double majors in Spanish and Supply Chain Management, are familiar
According to Crawford, the grocery store will be a sister store to the Checkers at 23rd and Louisiana Streets, but a little more upscale and with more of an urban appeal.
"Really, that's about as good as it gets," Crawford said.
An out of town couple found a body while walking in a Lawrence city park Sunday. The couple saw the body west of the Vermont Street bridge, laying face-down in shallow water, said Lawrence Police Department Spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley.
“[Checkers] already offers more local products than anyone else. I know they are going to be really responsive to whatever the community wants. At their store right now, if you ever talk to a manager or someone about wanting to see something there, they at least figure out a way to test run it,” Van Anne said.
McKinley says an autopsy is scheduled for today, which will
"With the increase of housing downtown, I feel like the inclination of everyone living right by downtown is to go to a restaurant because it's convenient and somewhat affordable, but I think [the grocery store] will get a lot more people actually cooking in their houses again, which is awesome." Van Anne said.
Van Anne, a cook herself, was also excited about the prospect of people having incentive to cook for themselves.
help determine the individual's age and identity, as well as the time and cause of death. McKinley also hopes the autopsy will be able to provide information regarding the safety of individuals living in the area.
with Checkers Foods.
At 20,000 square feet, the size of the property is more than adequate to address its

"Once we learn how the person may have died, and more information about him, we may be able to determine if there is any impact on the students," said McKinley.
community's needs. It might be even bigger than necessary, Crawford said.
— Alicia Garza
"This is a positive example that we should be able to hold up and say, you know what, we can really do this," Crawford said.
Because of this, there has been an effort by the Downtown Grocery Store Project to bring Jeff Sigler of Sigler Pharmacy into the building. Crawford said Sigler has already been getting great business ever since Round Corner Drug closed, and he would be a great fit for the grocery store.
Crawford said he is optimistic about the prospects for the grocery store and its negotiations. He said the efforts of the neighborhood associations involved with the project could be the start of more active community involvement.

recruitment, research, a first-year experience program and reducing departmental budget burdens.
"A larger, more diverse class with higher academic achievements is beneficial not just for the University, but for students as well," Young said.
"With Changing for Excellence, the first most important thing is to make KU a better place to work, to make it more efficient and provide more opportunities," Young said.
Rebecca Smith, executive director of communications, and advancement and administration for KU Libraries, said the library evaluates itself several times in order to free funds to purchase materials the campus needs. So far the library department has completed three of four projects.
Young said another impact of the initiatives has been to increase enrollment in the freshmen and graduating classes because the University is able to devote more resources to recruiting students.
"We continue to ensure that the libraries both physically, and from a resource standpoint, are aligned with campus," Smith said. "Undergraduate recruitment, retention and success is something that we spend a lot of time on."

Davis: Brownback will cut school funds
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Democratic challenger Paul Davis predicted Tuesday that state aid for Kansas public schools will be cut if Republican Gov. Sam Brownback wins re-election this year, but Davis didn't outline a specific plan to boost education funding.
Davis had a news conference Tuesday in the library of Lowman Hill Elementary School in Topeka to declare education funding will be his top priority if he's elected. Brownback pushed successfully for personal income tax cuts worth $4.1 billion collectively through mid-2018 to stimulate the economy. The state has already cut its top income tax rate by 26 percent and exempted the owners of 191,000 businesses from personal income taxes.
Critics contend the reductions are jeopardizing the state's financial health.
The Legislature's nonpartisan research staff projects a $238 million budget shortfall by July 2016, and neither candidate has outlined a specific plan for closing it. Davis has said he wants to restore school funding to levels promised in 2008, before the state felt the Great Recession, but he refused
Tuesday to outline how or when the state would provide the additional hundreds of millions of dollars.
Davis instead said Brownback's tax cuts are a failed "experiment" at the expense of public schools.
"Gov. Brownback wants to stay the course," Davis said. "That's going to result in more cuts for schools if Sam Brownback has his way."
C "Gov.
"Gov. Brownback wants to stay the course. That's going to result in more cuts for schools..."

Brownback spokesman John Milburn said Davis is distorting the governor's record and "is tripped up by the facts." Milburn also said Davis, the Kansas House minority leader, had a hand as a legislator in cuts in state aid to schools in 2009 and 2010, before Brownback took office.
leadership."
"He continues to ignore his role in the mess and offer no solutions for how he would do things differently," Milburn said. "That's the opposite of
Education funding is a key issue because Davis is wooing moderate GOP and unaffiliated voters worried about the effects of the income tax cuts on the state's finances.
Brownback has said new jobs will generate enough new tax revenues to close the projected budget gap, though federal statistics show the state's rate of private-sector job growth still lags behind the U.S. figure since Brownback took office in January 2011.
Democratic candidate Paul Davis makes a point while criticizing Republican and Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback on education funding issues Tuesday in the library of Lowman Hill Elementary School in Topeka. Davis says he'll make education funding a top priority if he's elected, but he isn't outlining a specific plan for boosting aid to public schools.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DONALD S. HAMILTON
Davis has proposed indefinitely postponing tax cuts promised after January 2015, but a report last month from legislative researchers show the policy wouldn't produce enough revenues to eliminate the projected budget shortfall before July 2016. Davis said Tuesday that the tax freeze would be a first step. Meanwhile, candidates have declared for years that education funding will be their top budget priority. Even if they didn't, aid to public schools consumes more than half the state's tax dollars, making it the biggest item in the budget.
Brownback last week outlined second-term education goals and declared that he was reaffirming a strong commitment to public
schools. His administration says Kansas is spending about $270 million more in state tax dollars on schools than it did during the 2010-11 school year, an increase of nearly 9 percent.
student is $3,852, a decline of $581, or 13.1 percent, from its 2008 peak of $4,433. Public school officials use the base aid figure most widely in budget comparisons, but Brownback and other GOP conservatives note that it doesn't cover all spending.
But even with the additional dollars, the state's base aid per

Burned teen's death was random attack
JR.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
With Claplain David Coatie at his side, Louis Allen, center, father of 15-year-old Dominique Allen, whose badly burned body was discovered in a backyard in Indianapolis on Sunday, grieves Tuesday at the site where her body was found. Dominique's purse and shoes were found about a block away from where her body was found. The Marion County Coroner's Office ruled the death by asphyxiation a homicide. Dominique Allen was a Ben Davis freshman. At right is Nira Watts.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A 15-year-old Indianapolis girl whose burned body was found over the weekend was likely abducted and killed by someone she didn't know, police and family members said Tuesday.
Dominique Allen's death was a homicide resulting from asphyxiation, Marion County Chief Deputy Coroner Alfarena Ballew ruled Tuesday. A man walking his dog found Allen's body in his backyard on the city's near northwest side Sunday, police said.
One of Allen's sisters, Shenika Poindexter, issued a stern warning to whoever was responsible during a news conference Tuesday at the site where Allen's body was found. A small makeshift wooden cross was placed next to scorch marks in the grass, and decorated with flowers and stuffed animals.
"I don't know why you had to do this. Whatever you do, wherever you go, justice is going to be served, in this life or the next. I don't care, they will hunt you until you die. ... She did not deserve this, she did not deserve this, she was 15 years old," Poindexter said between tears.
Poindexter said her sister wasn't the type to talk to strangers or get in a car with someone she didn't know. The victim had been staying with
another sister, Mareeka Allen,
and was last seen on the sister's
porch about 4 a.m. Sunday.
Mareeka Allen said the crime was a "careless random act;" and a detective investigating the case agreed.
"At this time, we believe it was random." Indianapolis Metro Police Detective Marcus Kennedy said, adding that Dominique Allen was dead before her body was burned.
Detectives are combing registered sex offenders for possible leads and checking for reported runaways in case there are other victims.
Police discovered the teen's purse and shoes Tuesday about a block from where her body was found.
Kennedy distributed a photograph of Dominique Allen taken the last night she was alive. In it, she's smiling and wearing the sandals that were discovered Tuesday.
Her sisters said Allen, who attended Ben Davis Ninth Grade Center, wanted to be a model and to attend Spelman College in Atlanta.
Deputy Mayor Olgen Williams, who lives a few blocks away from where the girl's body was found, comforted the family at the news conference.
"Pretty young lady, she had a future, and this evil person, or persons, destroyed her life," Williams said.
Convicted Air Force instructor dies
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The first Air Force instructor convicted of rape and sexual assault in a massive sex scandal at one of the nation's busiest military training centers has died while in prison, officials said Tuesday.
Staff Sgt. Luis Walker, a former instructor at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, was found unresponsive Friday at the federal military prison in Fort Leavenworth. Denise Haeuswell, a spokeswoman for Fort Leavenworth, said Walker was taken to a hospital, where he died Sunday night.
Haeusler said the cause of death was still being investigated and that no further details would be available until Army criminal investigators have completed their work in the case. It was unclear how long that would take. Calls to Lackland's public affairs office were not immediately returned Tuesday evening.
Walker had been serving a 20-year prison sentence. In July 2012, a military
court found Walker, then a married father with two sons, guilty of 28 counts of rape, aggravated sexual assault and aggravated sexual contact.
Lackland is where all Air Force recruits go through basic training, and Walker's was the first case tried following a massive sex scandal in which dozens of instructors were accused of preying on female recruits.
At trial, prosecutors said Walker used his position as trainer to gain female recruits' trust before making illicit sexual advances. Walker's court-martial included testimony from 10 women, one of whom wept as she described him luring her into his base office and sexually assaulting her on a bed, ignoring her pleas to stop. A month after Walker was convicted and sentenced, the military ousted Col. Glenn Palmer, the top commander over the basic training unit where the sexual assaults and harassment happened.

Student Senate needs to remember its original purpose
Slowly making it through week two.
Political shenanigans and a petty culture of résumé building have stymied Senate for years. This last election cycle was even more damning to the institution's legitimacy.

In doing so they have revealed their true ambitions and willingness to

pursue them at any cost — to anyone. Plunging us back into the darkness of last year only further debases Senate's ability to lead and represent students.
Moreover, I fear the remaining segments of the student body still engaged with our government will tune out altogether, leaving only the worst offenders to run it. As we suffer through this unprecedented time of uncertainty, I cannot imagine anyone determined to progress the student body will want to join Senate (as it proves time and time again to revolve around the exact opposite).
I hope I am proven wrong as I am ready to stand with those who want to make the change we need. We need students to be represented, and for the integrity of Senate to be restored. We need to break this vicious cycle and debilitating culture surrounding our government. The cliché saying goes, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only

FIFA should reconsider controversial 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts
The International Federation of Association Football, otherwise known as FIFA, is an international institution that organizes major soccer tournaments around the world. Its most notable tournament is the World Cup, which it hosted this past summer in Brazil (and was beautifully won by Germany).
Aside from organizational duties, FIFA makes a point to address issues such as racism, international cooperation, the environment and other various social ills through its competitions. For example, before kickoffs in the World Cup you might have seen the players holding up large FIFA banners with "SAY NO TO RACISM" written on them. FIFA also organized a "Handshake for Peace" in the recent match between India and Pakistan's Under-23 teams, in an effort to improve relations between the two countries.
By Sebastian Schoneich
@ThingsSebiThink
People quickly learn about the World Cup host country's major social issues via mass media during this popular tournament. When South Africa hosted in 2010, FIFA avoided addressing issues of rampant crime, racism and poverty by carefully planning locations for stadiums to avoid being near impoverished areas. In Brazil 2014, we saw that favelas (slums) that were too close to tourist areas were forcibly evacuated and torn down. Even though the World Cup was able to mask certain social issues during its monthlong stay in both countries, the before-and-
after comparisons have seen no improvement. The social issues have not changed; poor populations that were promised improved conditions are still waiting, and now their governments are facing criticism as to why they hosted the World Cup in the first place.
FIFA has been heavily criticized for its ineffectiveness of addressing major issues of social responsibility, and it will continue to be criticized if the decision to change its hosts for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup are not considered.
Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 present additional problems to FIFA's agenda. Russia, as we are reminded every day, is the center of a major international dispute that goes directly against FIFA's dedication to "international cooperation." Qatar's summertime climate is so hot that it is planning on constructing nine new, fully air-conditioned, open-air stadiums to combat the sweltering heat. Obviously, Qatar's plan goes directly against FIFA's "dedication to taking its environmental responsibility seriously." On top of that, it is rumored that two FIFA board committee members accepted multimillion-dollar bribes in order to secure Qatar's 2022 bid, making the
situation seem even more corrupt. Nevertheless, FIFA reviewed both situations and announced that it is not planning on changing the host nation for either tournament.
Is FIFA crazy? Does it believe satisfying Russia's desire to host the World Cup will cause Russia to shake hands with the West? Does it believe the most effective way to address issues of global warming is by taking part in one of the most ludicrous AC ventures in history? Worst of all, do only financial interests guide its ethical principles?
On FIFA's website, it claims the World Cup can be a powerful catalyst for constructive dialogue due to the international spotlight it creates, establishing the potential to act as a "force for good." While I find merit with this philosophy, it just hasn't proven to be effective. And though FIFA has no other obligation than to care about anything other than making money, I believe that it should think more on the effects its decisions can have on global issues.
I truly hoped for improvements in South African and Brazilian issues after their tournaments, but the only thing that seems to have resulted are the new stadiums. I love the World Cup, but it's hard to imagine that things will be different in 2018 and 2022 unless FIFA makes that change.

@KansanOpinion My feelings about the selections would take way more than 140 characters! FIFA is in need of an internal makeover.
@KansanOpinion I think Russia will enjoy the change of pace - they'll be fighting on their own turf for the first time since the 40's!

Appreciate life's mundane moments
The mundane moments in our lives seem to
lives seem to constantly bog us down. But I'm here to tell you there is comfort and perspective to be found in activities like doing the dishes. If you have followed my columns at all you'll remember that most of my ideas strike me when I am about to eat junk food or rub a smudge off my laptop screen.
While my orthodontist complimented my choice of the "punk" color scheme for my new retainer, I had an epiphany. The sluggish mass of nonsense and dullness that seems to make up most of our day is a blessing, curse and a blessing again — all of it is in disguise. The fact that I can have a "mundane moment" is simultaneously staggering and comforting. With the violence, unrest and chaos that continue to unfold all around the world, a mundane moment is a bubble of safety.
Lena Dunham, best known as the writer and breast-baring star of the HBO series "Girls," tweeted a similar sentiment a few days ago. She reassured her followers with a follow-up Tweet: "...We all have to keep doing us while trying to contemplate, support, raise awareness."
But what else is there to do besides trudging along? Even with all our irritable bowel syndromes and rusted-out bumpers, we have two massive oceans separating us from a world in upheaval.
While it's incredible to criticize and evaluate these events from afar, there comes a point where our schedules get in the way. Tests will loom overhead

and eventually stir more emotion than the daily death toll in Iraq. The road right in front of you is vastly more important than the distant scenery, no matter how catastrophic the view. But losing sight of the greater world leads to tunnel vision.
It's conflicting to preach against taking boring moments for granted when I do it all the time. Traffic makes me seethe, long lines give me headaches and waiting for Netflix to load might give me a hernia one day. But recognizing that selfishness, even if it's just every once in a while, strikes an important balance.
You might come away from this piece feeling let down. There weren't any sweeping political attacks or bumbling, pseudo-intellectual critiques of college life. It may seem like I preached to the choir for 500 words, and maybe I did. But the next time jerk number five cuts you off on Mass Street, hopefully you'll think of this column. Blame me for the traffic, blame karma or blame whatever you want. Just remember, someone very far away died for no good reason, and you were incredibly lucky to get away with a rude motorist.

Jehovah's Witnesses spread message
@emdons
Marcus Gubanyi, a math graduate student from Seward, Neb., opened his door in a KU Buddy System T-shirt and athletic shorts.
"Good morning," said Crystal Hartley, a 22-year-old from Lawrence. "How are you doing this morning? My name's Crystal. I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses."
100
Jehovah's Witnesses is an evangelical Christian denomination. The two congregations in Lawrence have about 150 members who go door-to-door spreading the Jehovah's Witnesses' message. They split the city into territories and divide up so every door is knocked on at least once a year.
Hartley asked if Gubanyi watched the news and said there's always a lot of bad news in the world. Gubanyi nodded and said "OK" as Hartley read him Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' "
Hartley's parents were Jehovah's Witnesses too and she was baptized at 15. She's supported by her husband and volunteers 70 hours a month to go door-to-door with Jehovah's Witnesses. She said spreading the message is important and that life-saving
"All right," Gubanyi said.
At 9:30 a.m. on a Friday at Chase Court Apartments near 19th and Iowa streets, most knocks go unanswered. The people who are home, like Gubanyi, are all KU students, many barefoot in pajamas.
information can really help people.
EMILY DONOVAN/KANSAN
Crystal Hartley, a 22-year-old Jehovah's Witness from Lawrence, waits outside an apartment door at Chase Court Apartments on Friday morning. Jehovah's Witnesses go door-to-door to distribute pamphlets to Lawrence residents
"If you're in a building and the building is on fire, you don't just get out," Hartley said. "You help other people get out too."
She wore sandals with orange flowers over the toes, a gray skirt past her knees and a striped cardigan — modest business attire. She held a Bible, pamphlet, brochures and recent magazines, protected from the drizzling rain in a plastic folder.
Gubanyi thanked her as he closed the door. "I let them say their thing to satisfy what they need," he said later. Gubanyi is Lutheran and he said there is no chance of him converting to Jehovah's Witnesses.
Hartley smiled as she started a note in her phone with Gubanyi's name and address. When someone is nice and seems interested, she notes their first name and makes plans to come back in a couple of weeks to see if there was anything they might want to know more about.
Hartley had a message and McCourt wanted to let her get
Great, Globally said later.
Alison McCourt, a third-year law student from Onaga,
answered the door of her apartment holding a 12-ounce coffee cup, wearing a dress with her hair half straightened and half in a clip.
"Great," Gubanyi said later.
"Yeah," McCourt said. "It is." McCourt wasn't running late that morning and she later said there's no reason to be rude.
"So that's a nice thought," Hartley said.
Hartley read her the Jeremiah verse.
it out.
"I hope you guys have a great day," McCourt said. "Thank you very much."
McCourt threw the pamphlet away as she walked by her trash can back to the bathroom to finish straightening her hair. She said someone going door-to-door wouldn't persuade her on something big like seeking out a different religion.
"The more information you have on something, the better decisions you make," said Leonard Blanton, a 67-year-old Jehovah's Witness.
Blanton has been going door-to-door since he was baptized when he was 9. His parents were Jehovah's Witnesses too. He said the biggest thing that's changed is Jehovah's Witnesses now recognize that people don't have a lot of time to talk. Instead of reading three or more scripture verses, he handed out a pamphlet referring people to JW.org.
He likes to go to the top floor of apartment buildings and work his way down to ground level.
"How you doing this morning?" he said as each door opened. "My name is Leonard. We're on a worldwide campaign to give answers to the big questions and we're just stopping briefly."
JW.org is available in more than 500 languages. The pamphlet asks questions like, "Is God to blame for our suffering?" Blanton asked everyone to take a minute and jump online.
Matt Cooper, a third-year law student from Lenexa, peeked his head out behind a cracked door of his apartment. He had just gotten back from a trip and didn't want Hartley to see the unpacked
clothes strewn across his living room.
Hartley introduced herself as a volunteer trying to share a little encouraging information with people.
"What's this about?" Cooper asked.
"I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses," she said.
"I'm not religious," he said.
"Thanks. Have a good day."
Cooper said it was like someone trying to sell a magazine subscription.
"They have to know everybody's going to say 'no thanks! It's an effort of futility." Hartley says she doesn't let a negative response get to her.
"It's not us they're rejecting," she said. "It's our message. And that's their personal choice."

Theater students perform in Greece over summer
@minseonkim94
MINSEON KIM
MICHAEL O'BRIEN/KANSAN
Theater students at the University were able to bring their passion for performance to foreign audiences when they traveled to Greece this summer.
Director Dennis Christilles addresses his cast and crew at rehearsal for Sophocles' "Electra" at the University Theatre. "Electra" will have a one-time performance Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m.
For about two months, 13 students, along with a graduate teaching assistant and the artistic director of the University Theatre, stayed in the Greek village Katohi and performed "Electra," a Greek play about Electra and Orestes' revenge toward the death of their father Agamemnon by their mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus.
"It's all about that revenge. And whether or not the revenge is just or whether or not some other form of justice might be more appropriate," said Artistic Director and Associate Professor Dennis Christilles.
Katohi has welcomed and provided accommodations for University students since the KU Summer Theatre in Greece program started in 1990.
As part of the program, students learned Modern Greek from Dimitra Pitsikou, a Katohi resident. Alice Hofgren, the GTA present on the trip, taught students Greek dramatic literature
and mythology and Christilles taught Greek history, art and architecture.
"I think that for the students the important thing is, sure, the play and academic experience. But most importantly is being immersed in another culture and learning so much more about themselves through that culture," Christilles said.
The students stayed at a school where they lived together and rehearsed every day.
"We had a chance to not just live together, but live with the play for an extended period of time," Christilles said. "Not that the other productions don't, but for us it was a much different, kind of personal way."
Christilles said that everyone got along well together, something that he enjoyed seeing. He said that everyone, himself included, had an equally quirky sense of humor which made it fun to be around one another.
Students also visited many archeological sites, met new people and built relationships with one another as well as with the village.
Jami Bessey, a senior from Paola, was amazed to see the ruins she learned about in art history classes.
"I got to actually go to the places that I've studied in
books and see the mask of Agamemnon and the national museum," Bessey said. "Some of the locations you could actually walk through the pillars and touch the ground and everything. We actually got to go to theater of Dionysus, which was where theater was started. Very first play was done in that theater. Couple of us had this moment where we were just like, 'We're here. This is real.'"
Thomas Tong, a senior from Olathe, played the character Orestes. He said
he has always wanted to take the opportunity to study abroad during college through the theatre department.
"What was really exhilarating was doing our show in the evening. What's different was that since it's outside, we had to speak out loud to the audience and they were sitting on the seats up the stairs." Tong said.
The KU Summer Theatre in Greece program provided far more than just academic knowledge; it provided students with an unforgettable
experience.
"It was a fun place to be," Tong said. "Being able to just immerse ourselves in the culture that they have as well as them just being so open to us being there."
The play will be performed in Lawrence, partially in Greek, for a one-time-only show Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre.
Tickets are available online or at the box office located in Murphy Hall.

Study: Fast-paced TV encourages snacking
CHICAGO - Could action-packed TV fare make you fat? That's the implication of a new study that found people snacked more watching fast-paced television than viewing a more leisurely paced talk show.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cornell University researchers randomly assigned almost 100 undergraduates to watch one of three 20-minute sessions featuring: "The Island," a 2005 sci-fi thriller starring Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor; that same movie but without the sound; or the "Charlie Rose" show, a public television interview program. The students were all provided generous amounts of cookies, M&M candies, carrots and grapes.
THE SKINNY:
During "The Island," students ate on average about 7 ounces (207 grams) of various snack foods, and 354 calories. That was almost 140 calories more and nearly double the ounces they ate watching interviewer Charlie Rose. Watching the movie without sound, they also ate more — almost 100 calories more — compared with Charlie Rose.
THE THEORY:
The faster paced TV
LIMITATIONS:
seemed to distract viewers more, contributing to mindless eating, said Cornell researcher Aner Tal, the study's lead author. The results suggest that a steady diet of action TV could raise risks for packing on pounds.
The study was small and didn't last long enough to measure any long-term effects on the students'
weight. It's also possible some viewers would find talk shows or other slower-paced TV more distracting and would be more apt to snack more during those shows than when watching action-packed programs.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Tal suggests viewers take steps to prevent mindless snacking, by avoiding or limiting high-calorie snacks when watching TV.

Alumna returns to Lawrence for performing arts project
THE BEST DADS IN THE WORLD
University alumna Kristen Doering, right, now a master's student at Juilliard, will perform with seven other students at the Lawrence Arts Center on Thursday as part of a collaboration called the Arts Fusion Initiative.

Kansas alumna Kristen Doering describes Juillard as one of the most intense experiences combining a mix of inspiration and intimidation. As a Juillard master's student, she has had her musical abilities tested and has pushed herself into new territory, but she wouldn't have it any other way.
In her recent work as a Juliillard student, Doering has teamed up with seven other students including dancers, a composer, a baritone/actor, a singer, a violinist and a cellist to form a collaborative performing arts experience called the Arts Fusion Initiative.
Doering, the pianist and co-founder of the Initiative, is a Garden City native and chose to bring the Initiative to her home state of Kansas. The group will embark on the tour this month and will perform in Garden City, Kansas City, Mo., and Lawrence.
The project is inspired by the poem "A True Account of Talking to the Sun on Fire Island" by American poet Frank O'Hara. Each artist was given the poem to form their own interpretation of it. The performance showcases each of their synchronized interpretations.
"I have always felt a deep connection and love for the people across Kansas who have supported me through the years," Doering said. "Not only in my musical endeavors, but in my personal development as well."
While in Lawrence, the group will perform at the Lawrence Arts Center. Doering picked this location because she knows it is a central part of the community and she wanted to give back to the Lawrence community she loves. She said
Doering started playing piano when she was just 4 years old, following in the footsteps of her three older brothers. Doering graduated from the University in 2011 and was a member of the Chi Omega sorority.
the LAC was the first place she went to rent the venue for the performance.
Doering had four mentors while at KU: Jack Winerock, Paul Tucker, Julia Broxholm and Genaro Mendez, all of whom were influential to her growth and success as a musician. Winerock, division director and piano professor, is a Jiiillard alum as well.
Doering's mentors all taught her the freedom to explore her abilities as a musician and that her musical intuition, regardless of her age or experience, is meaningful and valid.
"No matter where I am in the process, it was those four who supported my personal development and recognized I am a good artist," Doering said.
Winerock said Doering had to be flexible during her Juilliard auditions and had to have the ability to work well
with people. When applying for the world's most rigorous music school, she not only had to prove how well she can play but also how well versed in her style she is, how fast she can pick up new material and how well she can collaborate with other musicians.
Doering said she has grown personally and professionally during her time at Juilliard. She said she was scared at first to go and have her skills put to the test, but on this journey, she has seen new sides of herself.
"This project is an entrepreneurial project she put together," Winerock said. "It is her creativity, imagination and determination. It is quite fabulous."
The Arts Fusion Initiative will perform Thursday at the Lawrence Arts Center. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for general public and $5 for students and seniors.

Apple hackers leak nude photos of several stars
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES - Apple said Tuesday that hackers obtained nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other female celebrities by pilfering images from individual accounts rather than through a broader attack on the company's services.
Meanwhile, numerous sharing sites removed images of the stars apparently in response to copyright complaints.
However, experts say there is no way to fully scrub the photos from the Internet and the images could keep popping up in the future, forcing celebrities to file repeated complaints as they play a cyber-version of the arcade game "whack-a-mole."
Apple said its engineers have determined that hackers breached individual accounts and didn't obtain general access to a pair of the company's services — iCloud and Find my iPhone. The tech giant said it released the results after conducting 40 hours of investigation.
Law enforcement inquiries likely will take days or weeks to complete.
The FBI offered no details on its efforts to identify people responsible for stealing the images that were posted on image-sharing site Imgur.com, the social networking sites Reddit and Twitter, and other websites. But the agency said Monday it was aware of the breach and addressing the matter.
Similar investigations have involved the use of search warrants and digital forensics to determine how hackers obtained everything from Paris Hilton's contact list to nude photos of actresses Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis.
Lawrence, an Oscar winner
for her role in "Silver Linings Playbook," contacted authorities after the images of her began appearing Sunday.
By Tuesday, a Reddit thread that had been compiling links to images of nude photos of Lawrence and other celebrities had been disabled due to a copyright claim, the website said.
Representatives of Twitter, Reddit and Imgur did not respond to messages seeking comment.
Users reported difficulty finding working links to the images on other sites.
Apple Inc. said it was cooperating with the FBI and urged users to adopt stronger passwords and enable a two-step authentication feature to prevent data thefts.
Naked images purported to be of other stars also were posted, although the authenticity of many couldn't be confirmed.
Mark Rasch, a former federal prosecutor who specialized in computer crimes, said investigators will focus on who's responsible for the theft of the photos, the tools they used, and the idiosyncrasies of how they program.
"There is a digital trail," Rasch said. "What you hope for (is) the people aren't very good at what they do, that they screw up, that they (upset) other hackers. Or that they leave a trail."
Rasch said authorities will sometimes catch an early break or get a tip that leads them to suspects. The investigations are difficult, he said, but "it's equally difficult to get away with it scot free."
In the past decade, federal prosecutors have successfully prosecuted a Massachusetts teenager who hacked Hilton's
phone account and posted her contact list online. The teenager was sentenced to several months in jail.
Christopher Chaney, a Florida man, was ordered by a federal judge in 2012 to be imprisoned for 10 years for the hack that targeted Johansson.
The people responsible for stealing the Lawrence photos might also be tracked by private investigators who can operate faster than government agents, said Rasch, whose company Rasch Technology and Cyberlaw has conducted similar investigations but is not working on the current data breach.
"Even if you can get it taken down, it's likely to pop up somewhere else," said F. Jay Dougherty, a law professor at Loyola Law School Los Angeles who specializes in entertainment and intellectual property issues.
Mickey Ostreicher, a media lawyer and general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association, said a successful copyright complaint could scrub the images from a site forever, but Lawrence and other celebrities will have to remain vigilant and keep filing takedown notices.
"You have to go to each place," he said. "It's kind of like playing whack-a-mole."

THE DAILY DEBATE
Which unit will perform better for Kansas football: offense or defense?
By Paige Stingley
@paigestingley11
"OFFENSE"
The Kansas football team took a hard hit when both its
running backs, Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox, suffered season-ending injuries within 24 hours of each other. However, that won't stop the Jayhawk offense from being the strength of this year's team.
Keep in mind that the Jayhawks are led by one of the more creative offensive thinkers of late. Before taking the helm at Kansas, Charlie Weis made a name for himself as the offensive guru behind the New England Patriots' success in the early 2000s. Weis is a creative coach with a dynamic playbook. There is little doubt that he will use creative play-calling to mitigate the effect of the early season injuries.
Weis named sophomore Montell Cozart the starting
quarterback this past spring, giving him all offseason to master the playbook and to develop chemistry with the skill position players; something that did not occur in previous years. Kansas was led by three different starting quarterbacks the past three seasons, making it difficult to find consistency in the offense.
Weis said this heavily influenced his decision to name the starter earlier this season. Cozart, the Spring Game MVP, is just a sophomore and is hoping to establish himself as the starter for the next three seasons. Cozart is an adequate passer, but his strength lies in his mobility, which may be relied upon now that the Jayhawks' two top running backs are out for the season.
Cozart will be aided by senior Nick Harwell, a transfer from Miami (Ohio). Harwell recorded 229 receptions for 3,166 yards during his three seasons at Miami, averaging 13.7 yards per catch. Harwell, along with senior Tony Pierson, gives Kansas a solid pair of experienced receiving weapons. The make-or-break factor will be whether or not Cozart can deliver the ball
to them in the open field. If he can, the Kansas offense has the potential to be a dominant force. If not, the Kansas offense will have to find ways to move the ball on the ground, using Cozart's legs and a stable of young running backs.
The offense had a lot to adjust to during this offseason. The Jayhawks lost several key players at the end of last season due to graduation and transfers. But a fresh new lineup may be just what this team needs to finally regain some swagger. If Weis can work his offensive genius and get the most from his players, this could be the start of something good for the Jayhawks.

"DEFENSE"
returning 17 total starters eight on offense and nine on defense — a veteran Kansas football team takes the field Saturday, fresh off a 3-9 (1-8) 2013 season.
Fortunately for Jayhawk fans, the win-loss record is not completely indicative of the state of the program.
It goes without saying that strides have been made on the defensive side, considering former coach Turner Gill captained one of the worst defenses in the history of college football in 2011. The team allowed 5.8 yards per play last fall as opposed to 7.2 in 2011.
DAILY DEBATE RESULTS: SEPT. 2, 2014 Will the Kansas City Royals make the playoffs this season?
Will the Kansas City Royals make the playoffs this season?

VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE
MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT
KANSAN.COM
It gets better. Last season, Kansas issued its best defensive output since 2009, allowing 31.8 points and 433 total yards per game, including the program's first positive turnover margin (+1) since 2008. They should be even saltier this year.
Consider the strength of Kansas' defense: its secondary. It starts from outside in, fortified by senior cornerbacks JaCorey Shepherd, who was second in the Big 12 in pass break ups (13) last season, and Dexter McDonald, who was sixth in that same category (10). Junior safety Isaiah Johnson was named the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year with five interceptions. Senior Cassius Sendish also contributed as the unit's vocal leader.
Senior linebacker Ben Heeney is the bearded face of the program, and rightly so, as a first-team Big 12 player. With a young but athletic defensive line that returns senior Keon Stowers in the middle and senior Michael Reynolds off the edge, the Kansas defense will keep the Jayhawks in games.
Yet, as nice as the upgrade has been on defense, unfortunately, those same kind words cannot be said for the offense. Last year's group was the Jayhawks' worst in recent memory.
The season included a 16-yard passing performance against Oklahoma, seven first downs against Texas Christian and six turnovers against Kansas State. These are just a few examples.
The Kansas running game takes a hit this year as top rusher James Sims was lost to graduation, and seniors Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox are out with season-ending injuries.
the passing game should improve on its 41 dropped passes with senior Nick Harwell and junior Nigel King added to the mix, but by how much? It all starts with the quarterback and Kansas returns one that completed just 37 percent of his passes last year.
+
More touches for playmakers senior Tony Pierson, freshman Corey Avery and junior De'Andre Mann should help, but make no mistake: the defense is the best thing Kansas has going for itself.

Kansas Crew looks to increase interest in rowing
GJ MELIA
@gimelia
Kansas Crew, the club rowing team, opened its doors to the public Thursday for an open boathouse and showed students what the organization is all about. Kansas Crew began in 1977 and is the University's oldest club sports organization. Crew features both men's and women's teams, and is a no-cut sport.
The boathouse, a multimillion dollar facility, houses both the men's and women's club teams, in addition to the NCAA-sanctioned women's team. The building itself was finished in January 2009 and sits just off the shore of the Kansas River in Burcham Park on Second and Indiana streets.
Coach Jeremy Struemph, entering his 10th season at the helm, emphasized that it doesn't matter what your background is, being a member of Kansas Crew requires the will to compete each day and have a strong commitment to the team.
Many students interested in joining Crew have no prior rowing experience. At the open boathouse, athletes ranged from cross country and track to soccer and football.
"What I ask from my guys is, I don't care if you're athletically gifted," Struemph said. "All I care about is good attitudes, and guys that like to work really hard."
Haley Fletcher, the captain and former recruitment chair of the women's team said even though it is a large time commitment, if you are interested in rowing, there are
always steps to learn how to manage time.
"If I didn't do crew, I could fill my time very easily," Fletcher said. "But I also have learned how to balance my time really well. It's a responsibility, but it's what the real world is going to be."
One of the main goals Kansas Crew echoed was the intention of growing the sport of rowing. In Kansas, many students aren't exposed to the sport of rowing.
"We have people all the time that didn't even know we had rowing at Kansas," Struemph said. "It's good that they can find [Kansas Crew] because a lot of people would never try [rowning] if they didn't know about it."
In the fall, the regattas are a 5K (3.11 miles) race, and the courses consist of tight turns and are designed for the rowers to adjust their boat. In the spring, the races are a 2,000-meter sprint. Kansas Crew is scheduled to compete in six events during the spring season, the first on Feb. 22 in Topeka.
The team will be competing in four different competitions, or regattas, this fall. The opening event is the Head of the Oklahoma on Oct. 2-5, an event Kansas placed first in in 2013. It will take place in Oklahoma City where it will see teams such as Stanford, Michigan and a majority of the Big 12 schools.
It will also be hosting two regattas, the first being the Jayhawk Jamboree on Oct. 18. Then they will travel to Chattanooga, Tenn., on Nov. 1-2 before closing out the season with the Sunflower Showdown in Lawrence on Nov. 8.
FOLLOW US ON Instagram @UNIVERSITYDAILYKANSAN
The overall goal of each regatta is to improve and develop the team for the ACRA National Championships in May in Gainesville, Ga.
"We do other regattas in preparation for May," Struemph said. "Even though we race in a little over four weeks [Head of the Oklahoma], our workouts right now are long, steady rowing, just getting these guys' rust knocked off from the summer."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We're going to roll them (secondary players) through and keep go," Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton said of his defensive backs. "Each of them has had some really good plays and probably some they could do better. But I think the competition has been good, and we're going to need all those guys."
Associated Press

In 2013 the Chiefs' defense became the first team in NFL history to win its first nine games while holding its first nine opponents to 17 or fewer points.

With the 2014 NFL season less than a week away, Kansas City has done little
Kansas City has done little to improve upon what was its downfall in the previous year. The Chiefs' defense has looked less than stellar as of late, allowing 30 or more points in each of its first four preseason games and 23 or more points in 11 of its last 12 games (including playoffs and preseason). The Chiefs' secondary in particular has stood out as aracker.
For the Chiefs to be successful in 2014, they'll need veteran defensive backs such as Eric Berry and Sean Smith to step up and lead the way. If they aren't able to, however, the Chiefs could be looking at a very disappointing encore to what was an exciting 2013 season.
By Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
When the 2013 NFL season began, the Kansas City Chiefs quickly asserted their dominance. Kansas City held each of its first nine opponents
to 17 or fewer points and was on pace to put up one of the most statistically dominant defensive seasons in NFL history. Everything was clicking, as Kansas City was off to a 9-0 start for the first time since 2003.
After a bye-week, Kansas City would drop its first game of the season to the Denver Broncos, which was followed by two more losses against AFC West teams. The Chiefs' defense had given up 103 points in its last three outings, compared to 109 in it's first nine games.
Before long, both Justin Houston
and Tamba Hali, the Chiefs' top two pass rushers, were battling injuries, which left the back end of the defense exposed. By the end of the year, the once-feared Chiefs defense had completely regressed, ending the year by giving up 45 points to the Indianapolis Colts.
A few months later, it was time for the NFL Draft, and Kansas City was given a golden opportunity to address a major need. Darqueze Dennard, who won the 2013 Jim Thorpe Award as the best defensive back in college, had slipped in the draft all the way to the No. 23 pick held by the Chiefs.
However, the Chiefs had other plans in mind, drafting linebacker Dee Ford from Auburn University. Many analysts had Ford projected as a second round pick, including ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay, both of whom projected Dennard as a top-15 pick. The Bengals selected
Dennard with the following pick, which McShay would describe in an ESPN article as "[one of the] best picks of the first round."
Eventually Kansas City would select a cornerback, Phillip Gaines, late in the third round, but the secondary was far from set. Around a month later, the Chiefs released starting cornerback Brandon Flowers, who was coming off of his first trip to the Pro Bowl. This opened the door for Gaines to move up in the depth chart, but he was unable to take advantage of the opportunity.
Ultimately, Kansas City's secondary will be facing many of the same problems that plagued it at the end of last season. With an inexperienced corps and one of the toughest schedules in the NFL, the Chiefs could be looking at a disappointing season, especially if the defense doesn't get it figured out in a hurry.

US routs New Zealand 98-71

American players paused from their warmups to stand and face their New Zealand opponents as they performed the haka, their traditional war dance challenge.
The U.S. response wasn't nearly as interesting. Just pound the ball inside and outmuscle an overmatched opponent.
Anthony Davis had 21 points and nine rebounds, Kenneth Faried added 15 and 11 boards and the U.S. remained unbeaten at the Basketball World Cup by beating winless New Zealand 98-71 on Tuesday.
James Harden scored 13 points for the Americans, who will play two more games in Bilbao before moving on to Barcelona for the round of 16. They face the Dominican
Republic on Wednesday before wrapping up Group C play on Thursday against Ukraine.
"It was a good, solid performance," U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "I thought the intensity was excellent."
Two nights after having to rally from a halftime deficit and pull away in the fourth quarter for a 98-77 victory against Turkey, the U.S. led this one wire to wire. The game was close only for a little more than a quarter.
BJ Anthony scored 11 points for New Zealand, which fell to 0-3.
There was no shortage of energy from Kenneth Faried, the Denver Nuggets forward who seems intent on raising his profile as a largely overlooked player in the league.
The Manimal came into the game shooting 14 of 17 in the tournament and then made all five shots in the first half while also grabbing six rebounds. He finished 7 of 9 from the field and is shooting 81 percent, Krzyzezwski calling him the Americans" "biggest and best surprise."
"It was a good, solid performance. I thought the intensity was excellent."

Harden said the Americans are happy to ride their big men, rather than the recent LeBron James-Carmelo Anthony-Kevin Durant squads that made the wing scorers like himself the feature.
"We've got 12 guys that can score the basketball at any given moment," Harden said, "and tonight and every other night the focus is defense, and whoever scores the basketball, it's USA points."

COMMENTARY Former basketball star hopes to play for Finnish team
By Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
Former Jayhawk basketball player and NBA star Drew Gooden is not playing in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup, but hopes to play for Finland in the future.
Gooden's mother is Finnish, so the former Jayhawk saw an opportunity to represent his mom's country this year at the Basketball World Cup, but he was left off their roster because delayed paperwork stopped the NBA veteran from dual citizenship and the ability to play for Finland.
Gooden kept regular contact with his family and his basketball ties in Finland, speaking to the coach almost every day around the time of the NBA playoffs. There was speculation that Finland planned to have Gooden as their No.1 scoring option due to his NBA experience and the lack of skill from the remainder of the team.
Unfortunately for Gooden and Finland, the paperwork was started late and was unable to be completed on time.
While Gooden may not be able to represent Finland in this year's competition, he will be on the sidelines cheering them on and looks forward to the time he can represent Finland on the court.
"If something happens and there's a bump in the road where this is not possible this year, I'm still going to be going there and supporting the team, supporting the players in Spain and start to build a relationship for the future for years to come," Gooden said. "Either way you want to see it, I'm still going to get my dual citizenship and I am going to become a Finnish citizen, whether I'm playing on the team or not, eventually"
Gooden does not just want dual citizenship to be eligible for the Basketball World Cup; he takes pride in his Finnish heritage as well.
"Half of my family is still over there and I communicate with them all the time," Gooden said. "So it's like I have time spent there. It's not like I'm doing this because I just happen to be half-Finnish. No, I really actually have ties to Finland and the culture."
While at Kansas in 2000, Gooden played for the United States in a tournament in Brazil. Gooden hoped to continue representing the United States throughout his career, but was unable to make the roster. At 32 years old, he felt it was time to try something different.
"As a kid you always dream of winning the gold medal," Gooden said. "It was a point where I got to 26, 27, 28, where that might've not been happening, might not have been a possibility for me, that I can compete and represent another part of me, which is Finland. I feel like, 'Why not?'
However, the road looks a little rocky for the former Kansas star. Finland is the 39th ranked team in the Basketball World Cup and was chosen as a mere wild card due to their ability to sell tickets, according to FIBA's Central Board. The next international basketball competition is the 2016 Olympics, and with a field of 12, Gooden and the rest of Finland's squad will not likely be in attendance.

Kansas football gets new spread offense
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
Kansas football ranked last in almost every statistical category on the offensive side of the ball, and as a result, that is exactly where it finished in the standings. The Jayhawks ranked last in the Big 12 in total offense and scoring offense in 2013 under second-year coach Charlie Weis.
Knowing he was entering his third and most crucial year in terms of job security, Weis made some tough decisions in the offseason. The decision that was heard the loudest amongst Jayhawk faithful was his decision to step down as the play-caller, handing the reins over to offensive coordinator John Reagan.
"From my understanding it has been everything I was told it would be, and everything I was expecting it to be," Reagan said of his new role with the team.
Weis was no stranger to calling plays on the offensive side of the ball, serving as the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots in the midst of their dynasty in the early 2000s. He also served as offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, where he aided the Chiefs to the AFC West Division title, averaging an impressive NFL-best 165 rushing yards per game.
"It's going to be refreshing," Weis said of the change. "Sure I'll talk with John from time to time, but some practices I don't even put a headset on."
Having a coach with that level of a reputation step down from calling the shots, told the locker room that changes needed to be made. Perhaps the biggest change under Reagan will be the new spread offense Kansas plans to run this year.
The spread offense has quickly taken over at the
collegiate level, where most,
if not all, successful teams
are running it in some sort
of fashion. Teams may not
be running it to the level of
Oregon whose average touch-
down drive time is 1:33.
It's simple; score fast to get the ball back faster. This means more drives and more opportunities to score points. Kansas knows better than anyone the damaging effect this method has on opponents. They saw it firsthand against its conference foe, Baylor, in a 59-14 drubbing last season.
Admittedly so, Art Briles' Baylor Bears are a well-oiled machine when running the spread. Last season the Bears had one of the most frightening offensives in the country, averaging more than 600 yards a game on an average of 85.2 plays per game. Texas averaged the most plays per game with its spread offense, averaging 90.3 plays per game.
"It doesn't help to go fast if you are not really that good, but I do hope to take advantage of speed at times, if we can handle it," Reagan said.
Reagan understands better than anyone that it's not always ideal to work quickly within the spread.
It would be foolish to expect the 2014 Jayhawks to be a mirror image of their conference foes in their first year with the new system. But it is clear with this year's personnel and a new offensive mindset, Kansas doesn't expect to be back at the cellar in the Big 12 from an offensive standpoint or in the standings.
"I think our defense can be pretty salty." Weis said. "If our offense puts up some points, I think we can win a bunch of games."

Basketball recruit not rushing college decision
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNEI
@HardvNFL
Combo-guard Mitchell Ballock, from nearby Eudora, is no newcomer to college offers. The phenom has garnered offers from Iowa State and Creighton University in the summer leading up to his sophomore season, but on Aug. 18, Coach Bill Self extended Ballock an offer to play a little closer to home with the Kansas Jayhawks.
"They're a big time school and they play good basketball, obviously, and they bring in some of the top recruits every year," Ballock, 16, said. "It's a good feeling to me that I'm on Coach Self's radar, and that shows me that they want and they're interested in me."
To some, the offer from Self might come with more excitement than his other offers. But for Ballock, who's still trying to develop his skills to find where he fits on the next level, they're all the same, despite being a Kansas hoops fan from a young age.
"I live in the Kansas environment; everyone around here likes Kansas, they go to Kansas games and know more about Kansas here," Ballock said. "I just have to see how I progress as a player, then see how I play and how I turn out. ... Overall, they were all good. I am equally excited about all of them."
"I want to play for a place that
More important to Ballock than playing at a university closer to home is playing at a university where he can make an impact.
"It's a good feeling to me that I'm on Coach Self's radar, and that shows me that they want and they're interested in me."
MITCHELL BALLLOCK Kansas basketball recruit from Eudora
fits my play style more than the sense of playing at home," Ballock said. "If I can play right away at Creighton and make an impact and it'll help me play as a better player, or if they fit me into the system better than Kansas, then obviously I would
do something like that."
Ballock's offers and interest from a multitude of universities across the country have been well warranted. In his freshman season, Ballock led Eudora to a Class 4A-II championship as he averaged 20.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and shot 57 percent from the field. He was one of 20 guards from across the globe to be invited to the inaugural Stephen Curry Select Camp, where he was crowned the 3-point champion and named "best shooter."
"At the high school level, he can bring everything to the table." Eudora basketball coach Kyle Deterding said. "He can handle the ball, he's a great shooter, he's a good passer, rebounder. He can do it all."
Ballock worked to improve on
some minor facets of his game this summer with Run GMC, a traveling summer AAU team that plays in some of the best tournaments across the country. He played up an age group early on to better prepare himself for the next level.
"I just started playing against better talent and longer and more athletic kids. You're not going to have enough time to get the ball up, so you've got to get it up quicker," Ballock said. "Defensively, I've just worked on staying in front of (point guards), in front of (shootingguards), in front of (small forwards), cause that's what you're going to have to do at the college level."

HALLING CRITICIZES SEXUAL ASSAULT PROCEDURE
EMMA HALLING ACTING STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT
MIRANDA DAVIS Emma Halling, acting student body president, presented a resolution to the Student Senate Rights Committee that condemns the University's handling of sexual assault cases on campus. @MirandaDavisUDK
Halling, a senior from Elkhart, Ind., who referred to the University's actions as absolutely unacceptable, is the first person affiliated with the University to speak out against current policies in place. She said that no one from the administration has contacted her since the Huffington Post article was published on Sept. 2.
When the University of Kansas doesn't expel, doesn't suspend and doesn't even submit to community service someone who is an admitted rapist, we are absolutely not fulfilling our obligation to eliminate a hostile environment for our students." Halling said.
The resolution included a call to action for the University to improve the way it handles sexual assault cases. Suggestions include hiring a victim advocate for those going through the hearing process, having mandatory sexual assault training for students and a reexamination of current policies.
"The system we have in place is failing our students," Halling said.

Anger, disbelief, disappointment and horror colored students' tweets on the #AGreat-PlaceToBelInaasha hashtag on Twitter.
The hashtag, based on the University's slogan, "A great place to be..." called attention to the issues students had with the way the University handled a case of sexual assault reported in October.
The case, which placed the University on a list of 76 universities under investigation by the federal government, was recently picked up by the Huffington Post, bringing national attention.
the article reported that the man confessed to raping the woman and was punished with a required essay and counseling, expulsion from his dormitory and disassociation from his fraternity. Some students, such as Lenexa senior Michael Garrett, said the punishment is too light.
"In what other case in today's world is a rape charge going to be settled with writing an essay, being kicked out of your dormitory and going to take counseling courses?" Garrett said. "...any other place, if you rape another person, that's a huge crime, and you're going to be dealt with to the full extent of the law. Why is this a different case if there's a clear violation of the law?"

EDITORIAL: ASSAULT IS NOT A LEARNING EXPERIENCE
The University administration should be ashamed at the accusations regarding the mishandling of a reported on-campus rape last year. The University Daily Kansan will seek the truth about why it happened and hold administrative bodies accountable for their actions.
Tyler Kingkade's article in the Huffington Post reports that a male student confessed to raping a female student in her dorm room after she got drunk at a fraternity party. He was found "guilty of non-consensual sexual intercourse" — which is rape
by the Office of Institutional Opportunity & Access (IOA), the campus entity that primarily deals with sexual assault reporting through the University.
The article said the University proceeded by placing the student on probation, banning him from student housing, and requiring him to write a four-page reflection essay as well as seek counseling. Rachel Rolf, associate general counsel for the University, told Kingkade that community service as a punishment would be too harsh.
The decision to rid the person of community service shows a lack of obvious action in this case. It also sets the precedent that sexual assault will be treated less rigidly than violations such as

THE DAILY MEMOIR OF THE EASTERN TERRACE
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Acting Student Body President Emma Halling addresses the Student Senate Rights Committee, proposing a resolution to the University's handling of sexual assault complaints.
HALLING FROM PAGE 1A
Halling said the University is technically in compliance with federal sexual assault laws established by Title IX, but that isn't enough.
"I don't care about that right now," Halling said. "I care about the well-being of our female students, and national standards are damned, they are net being well served."
Halling said there is a large issue with underreporting sexual assault on campus and that issues with the hearing and reporting process aren't always brought to light.
"After victims go through this process and are so ill-served by it, they don't want to talk about it anymore,"
Halling's sentiments were shared by many within the Student Rights committee.
Halling said.
"We need to move forward as a University and we need to listen to the student voice," Student Senate Graduate Affairs Director Angela Murphy said.
Mitchell Cota, a senior from Leawood and acting chief of staff, said it's crucial for Senate to show the administration and students that they are taking this seriously.
"I think that it's important that Student Senate takes a stance when it comes to protecting student's rights and their safety," Cota said.

plagiarism, underage drinking or drug use on campus.
ing or drug use on campus. The 10A's sexual harassment policy states that "sexual harassment is a violation... of federal and state law." Why, then, is the University not treating these incidents as serious, illegal offenses? What message is this sending to victims who would rather not report a sexual assault? The University is telling them that the people who have wronged them could hardly suffer reasonable consequences.
The University should be protecting its students from future incidents of sexual assault, not letting offenders get by with a slap on the wrist. It is not enough to state that sexual assault is wrong; how the University handles these situations sends a message to the student body.
Here's the big issue: What part is the University playing in rape culture on campus? In the United States? We are, after all, on the list of 76 schools being investigated by the Department of Education for possible Title IX sexual assault violations.
The first three bolded sections under Section II in the Association for Student Conduct Administration's Gold Standard Practices for Resolution of Allegations of Sexual Misconduct on College Campuses, the practices and guidelines the University said it follows, are:
1. First and foremost, student conduct is an educational process.
2. We have an obligation to respond to sexual violence that affects students.
The Kansan Editorial Board understands the distinction between a campus and the criminal justice system. A campus hearing is not meant to mirror a criminal proceeding. But treating sexual assault cases as learning experiences? We simply do not agree.
The University should be focusing on educating students prior to an instance of sexual assault, and not through 37-slide presentations, ball pits and quiz programs that a student can creeze through in less than a minute. Show us where these situations occur in the real world. Make us understand consent. Be transparent about what the process and the sanctions look like. If there is indeed evidence of a crime, make it easier, not more complicated, for students to take legal action.
3. Campuses are not courtrooms.
The University should not contribute to a non-reporting culture. If students knew up front that someone who potentially raped him or her would only be required to leave campus and write a paper, no one would report.
Tammara Durham, vice provost for student affairs, said Wednesday that the University and the victim agree upon an appropriate sanction for the accused after the investigation. If the victim wants to pursue a stricter sentence, such as expulsion or suspension, the victim is subject to another hearing process. Another time he or she will have to recount and live through their story. Another deterring road block in the process.
Section III, subsection E of the ASCA's practices guide says: "While an act of sexual violence can never be 'undone', there may be situations in which sanctions or remedies can include some restoration of harm caused. Engage the campus community in conversation about appropriate sanctions and create a sanctioning guide... Include the rationale for sanctions so that both students understand the decisions."
So much good can be done if we work together with administrators to change the process — before, during and after. To the University: show your students a commitment to meaningful education and just consequences. Show zero tolerance. Prove you are, indeed, advocates for students.
The core values of The University Daily Kansan as the student voice are to report the truth and hold administrative bodies and student leaders accountable for their actions. That will continue to be of utmost importance to us moving forward.
This coverage has encouraged quite a few students to speak out and voice their concerns. We will do our absolute best to be on top of everything related to the issue and be the source students, faculty, staff and alumni trust and come to when looking for the most recent information. You can expect us to dig deeper than we ever have before to shed light on rape culture at KU.
This is an incredibly important issue that undoubtedly affects students across campus, directly or indirectly. We will strive to tell the stories that are igniting our campus.

established protocol and the University needs to reevaluate those standards.
"It kind of seems like KU handled it the way protocol states, and I just don't think that is the right way that it should be happening." Garrett said.
Joey Hentzler, a senior from Topeka, is not only frustrated with the University, but local authorities as well. Charles Branson, Douglas County district attorney, decided not to press charges despite a confession from the man, according to the article.
"When we talk about the University's response, we should talk about the response of police and local officials like the D.A." Hentzler said. "It's just a consistent failure to provide adequate redress, so the victim is not given justice. It's a part of our culture or it's a part of people's misunderstanding of rape that the transgressor even if he's found guilty - he admitted to it - is still not prosecuted."
Miranda Wagner, a senior from Shawnee and a member of the Title IX roundtable, said she believes there is an overall cultural problem with how rape victims are treated that could lead people to not
"I think that overall in our culture we have such a prevalent attitude of victim-blaming and not asking the right questions about the situation," Wagner said.

The use of phrases like "non-consensual sex" in the University's communications angered students like Liz James, a sophomore from Overland Park. James is the sexual assault activism coordinator for Students United for Reproductive and Gender Equity at KU (SURGE KU). James said she believes "non-consensual sex" didn't exist. She said it's rape.

education student affairs and counseling, said there are lots of non-sexual reasons to use birth-control pills.
"As a young woman on birth control for non-sexual reasons, it made me fearful that if something were to happen to
me, I would have no support from my community, from the University that I've spent the past four years trying to give back to and really trying to make a safe place," Karr said.

The Daisy Hill construction resulted in 600 fewer parking spots. Daisy Hill residents can now park at the Lied Center, but students spoke up about feeling unsafe while making the walk.
Loss of parking creates safety concerns
MADDIE FARBER
@MaddieFarberUDK
In response to a University Daily Kansan article published Aug. 26, a Daisy Hill resident spoke out about feeling unsafe while walking to and from the Lied Center for parking. The construction of two new dorms on Daisy Hill has resulted in the loss of 600 parking spots, as the previous article reported. The Lied Center parking lot has been made available to students, which has led to concern about its distance from the dorms and student safety. The University Daily Kansan spoke with Captain James Anguiano of the
University of Kansas Public Safety Office to discuss the matter.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN:
How do students get from the Lied Center parking lot to Daisy Hill?
JAMES ANGUIANO: Students have to cross the Irving Hill Bridge into the parking lot of Ellsworth and Hashinger.
UDK: Are there any emergency phones in this area for students to use if needed?
JA: There is one emergency phone located on the northwest side of the Irving Hill overpass [bridge over Iowa Street].
UDK: Have you received any [distressed] calls from students since construction has started?
JA: No. We haven't received any calls that would take us [campus police] to the Lied Center. However, officers patrol that area frequently, as they do with all parking lots on campus. The Lied Center is a normal patrol area for officers to drive around.
UDK: Do officers usually just drive through the parking lot or do they stay stationary there for a period of time?
UDK: Since the construction has started,has there been an influx in emergency calls from students to the Public Safety Office?
JA: Officers usually drive through the parking lot, but it depends on when an

officer will sit for a while. On occasion we have patrol stop in Lied Center as well.
UDK: What do you recommend to students who don't feel comfortable walking to and from Lied
IA: Depending on where they live, they can always call SafeRide if they don't feel safe. Students should use the buddy system principles and be aware of your surroundings, but if it's an emergency situation, call 911.
Center parking?
UDK: What is the overall crime rate at the University?
JA: According to the University's Public Safety Office, violent crimes continue to be less than 1 percent of all crimes reported. Violent crimes being things like assaults, batteries, sexual assaults or any kind of crimes against a person.

US investigating Kansas chemical company
WICHITA — U.S. environmental regulators are investigating a Kansas chemical manufacturing company over allegations that unlawfully disposed of fluids down a well in violation of federal safe drinking water laws, search warrants unsealed Wednesday show.
Jacam Chemical Company 2013 contends it was just treating a customer's well and said it's cooperating with the Environmental Protection Agency's inquiry.
"They have a job to do and we are responsible to comply with the laws that are in our industry," said Jacam President Jason West.
the company makes and sells specially chemicals used in the oil and gas production and industrial markets. Its manufacturing plant and corporate headquarters are in Sterling, and the company has a network of more than 50 warehouses across the nation.
According to search warrants made public in U.S. District Court in Kansas, the EPA said it had probable cause to believe Jacam and its subsidiary Jacam Manufacturing 2013 in Lyons violated the Safe Drinking Water Act by allegedly discharging unpermitted liquid into an underground injection well in rural Rice County. Agents executing the search warrant in May seized environmental samples from a well and a manufacturing site along with manuals, electronic records and other materials. The raid came after a surveillance operation that began in late 2012 and continued until May of this year.
Jim Cross, the spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Kansas, said no charges have been filed.
Jacam's website touts as its environmental policy: "Zero spills, zero releases, zero incidents and zero excuses. Leave the Earth better than we found it."
West said in a phone interview that his company has a line of environmentally friendly products and takes seriously its role as stewards of the environment.

Research dog breeds prior to adoption
There are few things that bother me more in this world than a person adopting a puppy just because it was cute. Sure, some of these spur-of-the-moment decisions turn out great, with the dog and owner becoming best friends for life. However, too many dogs end up in shelters because the puppy that started off cute turned into a full-grown dog requiring specific attention and care.
One of the reasons many dogs end up in shelters is because owners do not do proper research before adopting. Knowing as much information as possible on breeds before adopting is the best way to ensure a happy healthy home for your four-legged friend.
For instance, take my dog Nova. She's a 96-pound
Newfoundland — a bear-like dog full of hair and a sweet disposition. Before adopting Nova I did research on Newfoundlands and thought carefully about whether I could provide her with the time and attention she would require. My family had owned a Newfoundland before, so I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting into, but even so, I wanted to get the full idea. Had I not researched Newfoundlands (and had my own experiences to draw from), having Nova would have come as a pretty big shock.
Newfoundlands are sometimes called "nanny dogs" because they are very good with children and like to keep an eye on all members of their family. They have a gentle

personality and are very calm once they reach adulthood. In fact, they make excellent therapy dogs precisely because of their temperament.
However, there are also challenges to having a Newfoundland. For instance, they drool and shed... a lot. They are also very smart, relatively stubborn and easily bored. If not provided with something to do, they could very well resort to bad behaviors such as chewing up shoes or destroying other
things.
They are incredibly large and strong; in combination with their intelligence that means they can get into almost anything. As a puppy, Nova constantly got trash out of our kitchen trashcan. We tried many different types of trash cans to keep Nova out, but nothing worked. Finally we had to resort to building a special lid to keep her out.
If you're set on adopting a purebred, it's easy and fast to research the breed. So before you spend the money to buy a dog, be sure it's the appropriate choice. If you want a couch potato that drools a little, a Newfoundland may be the one, but if you're looking for a dog to go running with you, you should consider different breeds.
I advise that before adopting any dog, purebred or not, you do your research. If at a shelter, ask what the workers there know about the dog and its past, especially if they know what breed the parents of the puppies were. If you are looking into a fully grown dog, spend some time with it and be sure the energy level, size and temperament are all what you're looking for. So to sum it all up, do your research before adopting. It's better for you and the dog.

Hair should not define a woman's beauty
If you were to ask a female which of her physical attribute makes her feel the most feminine, she will most likely say her hair. We spend so much time, money and heat trying to perfect the style and color of our locks. We justify spending hundreds to thousands on highlights, keratin treatments, and straighteners. If we have a bad hair day or haircut, we feel less beautiful. Some may even say their hair is how they identify with themselves. The stigma of
long thick hair as the only definition of beauty is absurd and needs to be broken.
August was National Hair Loss (alopecia areata) month. Alopecia areata is a condition when hair is lost from some or all areas of the body, specifically the scalp. In the earlier stages, this condition manifests in bald spots. Like men, women can have thin hair or become bald. It is taboo in our society for women to have no hair. Baldness in women is perceived initially with aging or the assumption

that one is going through chemotherapy. However, many factors contribute to thinning hair like iron deficiency, lupus, hereditary hair loss, overexposure to chemicals, environmental factors, etc. To have less hair does not mean one is
chronically sick.
The idea that women need to have thick, long hair stems from media representation of our favorite celebrities, advertisements and other social stigmas. It is easy to forget that celebrities have limitless amounts of money to spend on achieving the perfect hairstyle through the purchases of expensive wigs and extensions. It then gets even easier to forget that beauty is a range of attributes, not just one thing. It is never easy when one's
it boister not just one thing.
It is never easy when one's hair starts to fall out. In most
cases, hair will grow back. A haircut is never permanent and neither is a dye job.Hair can grow and be re-dyed. Alternatively, we do not need to put all these chemicals in our hair or scalp anyways. Natural is more healthy and beautiful. Hair shouldn't be the factor that measures beauty. It is embracing what you have with confidence that is ultimate beauty.

WAR STORIES
Student finds success writing novels from experiences in Middle Eastern conflict
THE MAPPES
DAVID HURTADO
@Lastlight343
Goran Ghafour's early life consisted of seven years of devastating warfare between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Republic of Iraq.
"I still remember Iranian airplanes coming and bombarding the Iraqi cities and our city too in Kurdistan," Ghafour said. "It was terrifying."
Born in 1982 in the Kurdish city of Erbil, two years into the Iran-Iraq War, he and his family survived both the hostilities and use of chemical warfare by Saddam Hussein against the Kurds. However, it wouldn't be until 2013 that Ghafour and his family immigrated to the United States. Now, a student at the University of Kansas, he is studying journalism and working towards a PhD in international communications.
Ghafour has published dozens of short stories and two novels with a third not far behind. Set to hit the shelves on Sept. 15, "The Statues" tells the story of a great revolution taking place in 2022, following in the footsteps of the Arab Spring. It focuses on a man named Pola striving to make his home a better place by challenging the politically and ethically bankrupt systems which grip the region.
"The Statues' are about the chaos, violence and the ethically backwards systems in the Middle East," he said. "I'm from Iraq, in the Kurdistan region, so I have personal stories and feelings towards those dictators. Everything that is in the book, I lived through it."
Ghafour also drew inspiration for "The Statues" from the revolutions of the Arab Spring that challenged the autocracy of dictators across the region. He said despite all of the people captured, arrested and tortured, and eruptions of violence between authorities and protesters, not much has changed.
Similar to "The Statues," Ghafour's first two novels are also socio-political in nature. "President Artery," published in 2005, focuses on the responsibilities a president has to its people. Iraqi Fulbrighter, published in 2011, seeks to resolve the misconceptions and stereotypes between American and Middle Eastern people. It advocates that politics, not ordinary people, is the reason for the animosity between the two groups.
Ghafour said there are many depths to the region he grew up in that can be difficult for outsiders to fully understand. Why a young man would want to blow himself up or kill others, and how people who love art and living can live there, are questions Ghafour said he hopes to answer.
He said his next book will focus on women in the Middle East and how the cultural ideas and principles of reli-

gion affect their daily lives.
"I think it is really worth going into the depths of women in the Middle East because they live in hell," Ghafour said. "Their rights are violated every day and they are looked upon like objects by men. There is no chance of love for them. They all dream about love, but there is no chance to love somebody freely."
Tom Volek, associate dean for Graduate Studies and Faculty Development, said Ghafour is a driven individual who is passionate about the issues
he writes about. Volek said his personality leans towards the quiet side, underneath which is a quick, dry wit.
"He came to us for his masters program from Kurdistan and finished it in a year and a half," Volek said. "During that time he wrote his first book in English. Keep in mind, this is a guy who learned English as a second language. That's pretty impressive."

Bubble soccer league comes to Lawrence

If you drive past Watson Park on a Sunday, you might see giant beach balls with legs bustling about. The anthropomorphic balls are a part of a three-week tournament-style "Bubble Soccer" league hosted by Lawrence-based company Silverback Enterprises.
Appropriately titled, bubble soccer is comparable to regular soccer. However, in a game of bubble soccer, each player dons an inflatable "bubble" to play. The bubble is similar to an inflatable sumo wrestling suit. The bubbles are clear and cover the body from above the head down to right below the waist.
"This is one of those events that's just as much fun to watch as it is to play."
"Probably the most fun about the whole thing is if you get knocked over, you can get right back up," Ryan Robinson, Silverback Enterprises president, said. "It's a ton of fun to bounce your friends around."
Kaley Robinson, a sophomore from Lawrence, said she is interested in the quirky sport. She said she has heard of people who have played it before, but never in Lawrence.
Employees at Silverback have tried the sport for themselves.
Robinson said he is excited with how eager Lawrence residents are to sign up for the activity. He said quite a few college students have signed up, as well as a few restaurants and bars from downtown Lawrence.
For three Sundays in a row, starting on Sept. 14, these soccer games will be held at Watson Park at 727 Kentucky St. Robinson said the games will be tournament-style play and at the end of each night, whoever wins the tournament will get a $100 gift card to a local restaurant or bar downtown. Anyone 16 or older can sign up; the cost is $40 per person.
Robinson said the rules are exactly like soccer, minus the goalies. "There are six people on a team, but only four play at a time because it gets really tiring," he said. "For one, people are knocking you over quite a bit so you spend a lot of time getting up. Another reason is you're just laughing the entire time that you're playing."
"This is one of those events that's just as much fun to watch as it is to play." Robinson said.

Buzz Beach Ball returns to KC
DALTON BOEHM
This Friday, Kansas City alternative radio station 96.5 The Buzz will be hosting their annual concert, Buzz Beach Ball, at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. This is the 10th year for the mini-festival. In the past, the show has featured artists such as Phoenix, Foster the People, Smashing Pumpkins, The Shins, Neon Trees and Blink-182.
@Daltonkb
This year, one of the biggest acts is the Arctic Monkeys. The English group has been around since 2002, but recently reignited their popularity with the 2013 album "AM." The record sold 42,000 copies in its first week, which earned it Number Six on Board's Top 200. "AM" also received great response from
critics, and the album ranked No. 9 in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2013."
Chad Brown, a sophomore from Andover, said that the Arctic Monkeys are what sold him on the concert.
"I decided it would be worth the tickets if it was just the Arctic Monkey's playing," Brown said.
Weezer also appears on this year's lineup. The band has played Beach Ball twice before, headlining the very first Buzz Beach Ball in 2005, and co-headlining with Blink-182 in 2009. This year, Weezer will not headline, likely due to record low sales following the flop of its 2009 album, "Raditude." Things may look up in the near future, as the group has a new album, "Everything Will Be Alright in the End," due in October.
Another English band, The 1975, is also highly anticipated. The group has seen previous success in the U.K., but became internationally recognized with the release of its 2013 self-titled album.
"[The 1975's] sound is so unique and you can immediately tell when they're being played."
ELLEN BALENTINE Sophomore from Lee's Summit, Mo.
Major tracks such as "Chocolate," "Girls" and "Sex" pushed them into the U.S. limelight. "I love their music," said Ellen Balentine, a sophomore from Lee's Summit, Mo.
"Their sound is so unique and you can immediately tell when they're being played. I'm interested to see how they perform live and what songs they will choose since they recently came out with a 38-track album."
The festival will take place on two stages inside of Sporting Park: the Main Stage and the Second Stage.
The full lineup includes:
Arctic Monkeys, Weezer, The 1975, J. Roddy Walston &
The Business, The Mowglis,
Broods, Meg Myers, Big Data,
Bear Hands, UME, Thumpers,
and The Griswolds. General admission tickets are still available for $55.20, with seat prices ranging from $35 to $105.

Photo hacking rekindles digital privacy worries
As the celebrity photo-hacking scandal has made clear, privacy isn't what it used to be.
Whether famous or seemingly anonymous, people from all walks of life put all sorts of things online or into cloud-based storage systems, from vital financial information to the occasional nude photo. Periodic cases of hacking fuel outrage, but there's no retreat from digital engagement or any imminent promise of guaranteed privacy.
"We have this abstract belief that privacy is important, but
the way we behave online often runs counter to that," said Nicholas Carr, whose extensive writings about the Internet include the 2010 book, "The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains."
"I'd hope people would understand that anything you do online could be made public," Carr said.
"Yet there's this illusion of security that tempers any nervousness ...
It's hard to judge risks when presented with the opportunity to do something fun."
The latest headlines involved nude photos of actress Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities which were accessed via hacking
and then posted online. Apple, which created the iCloud and other content-sharing systems, says individual accounts of some of the celebrities were targeted and hacked.
Privacy experts said users of online and cloud technology need not be famous to be vulnerable.
"What we're seeing is people who innocently and in many ways naively are lulled into sharing information that they wouldn't share with their next-door neighbor," said Marlene Maheu, a San Diego-based psychologist whose TeleMental Health Institute trains mental health professionals in how to expand their practice online.
Worries about privacy are part of a complex attitude that many Americans have toward their digital emaement.
a red flag ought to go up."
Even as they share more information online, they also want to better control over who can see it, according to a study last year by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project.
According to Pew. 50 percent of Internet users were worried about the information available about them online, up from 33 percent in 2009. While 86 percent had tried at least one technique to hide their activity online or avoid being tracked, 59 percent did not believe it was possible to be completely anonymous.

'Forrest'turns 20, runs into theaters again
"Forrest Gump" opens for a one-week theatrical IMAX run this weekend in honor of its 20th anniversary, and I'm so thrilled that I could run, Forrest, run all the way to the theater.
By Alex Lamb
@lambcannon
The story of a slow-witted, good-natured Alabama man (Tom Hanks) who just happens to take part in numerous historical events, achieve great success and become an influential figure, but really only cares about his loved ones (mainly "ten-nay," played by Robin Wright), enchants me every time I see it. I remember stopping everything whenever ABC played it on TV during my childhood. Only the original "Star Wars" trilogy has been such a prominent staple in my life for longer, although "Forrest Gump" is closer to my heart.
I consider it the quintessential American tale, the one film I would show someone unfamiliar with American culture and perspectives. A simple man leads an extraordinary existence, and the journey is hilarious, larger-than-life, poignant enough to make you cry in both joy and sadness, and so touching and clever it's worth watching a thousand times. Additionally, as Forrest makes his way through defining moments in history and his own life, some of the best songs of the time period accompany them. If this isn't the best movie
One of my favorite parts of the film occurs as jenny gently denies Forrest's request for marriage. Forrest then tells her, "I'm not a smart man... but I know what love is." While I love quoting that partially because I find his idiosyncratic walk out the door and placement of his hands on his hips after saying it hilarious, it's also a prescient focus of their moving love story that narrows Forrest's quest down to a single statement.
soundtrack ever, it's certainly one of them.
My freshman year I watched the film with a group of people late one night, including a friend from Venezuela, and I was utterly delighted by his quoting much of the movie as well as singing along to every song. Seeing its universal appeal and thematic relatability in effect gave me a renewed, even stronger appreciation for it.
"Forrest Gump" has also ingrained itself so deeply in pop culture that the "life is like a box of chocolates" line isn't just a quote anymore, it's an accepted way to rationalize life. However, the philosophical and life-pondering phrases stick with me less than some of the funnier lines with more pronounced delivery. I can't help myself from spouting "but you ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan," in conversation once in a while.
Despite his low IQ, Forrest has taught us many wise lessons about life and love. Two decades past its premiere, I'm thrilled to finally see those lessons play out on the big screen and share in them with an audience.

SAME BIGOT DIFFERENT DAY
another ANTI-IMPERIALIST irish-American AG
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Members of the Irish-American gay community protest on Fifth Avenue on March 17, 2006, against the exclusion of Irish and Irish-American gay people from marching in the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade Friday, in New York. Organizers of the world's largest St. Patrick's Day Parade say they're ending a ban and allowing a gay group to march under its own banner for the first time.
Gays scoff at parade decision
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A decision by organizers of the city's St. Patrick's Day Parade to allow one gay organization to march is a disappointment after decades of fighting by gay groups for full participation, several advocates said Wednesday.
Some were dismayed that the organizers had chosen just one lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender group to participate next year after ending a ban on them. Others expressed continuing mistrust.
Nathan Schaefer, executive director of Empire State Pride Agenda, called the announcement "disappointing and self-serving."
"While this development is long overdue, inviting one group to march at the exclusion of all others ... is a far stretch from the full inclusion we deserve," Schaefer said.
Sarah Kate Ellis, president of the gay-rights group GLAAD, said parade organizers — who announced other gay groups could apply for the parade in 2016 and afterward — "must be held accountable" to that pledge.
"Discrimination has no place on America's streets, least of all on Fifth Avenue," she said. "As an Irish-Catholic American, I look forward to a fully inclusive St. Patrick's Day Parade that I can share
with my wife and children. just as my own parents shared with me"
The New York City Saint Patrick's Day Parade Committee said Wednesday that OUT@NBCUniversal, an LGBT resource group at the company that broadcasts the parade, would be marching up Manhattan's Fifth Avenue on March 17 under an identifying banner. In the past, organizers said gays were free to march in the nation's biggest and oldest St. Patrick's Day Parade but only with other groups and not with banners identifying them as gay.
The exclusion had made participation in the march a political issue in recent years. The committee said it made the "gesture of goodwill to the LGBT community in our continuing effort to keep the parade above politics."
But gay leaders said the organizers were forced into it.
"They weren't nudged, they were shoved into making this decision," said Fred Sainz, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign. "They were increasingly beginning to look like dinosaurs.
"In one of the world's most diverse and inclusive cities, not to allow gay people to march was becoming an anachronistic decision that they could no longer reasonably justify."
The inclusion of OUT@ NBCUniversal came in the
"Discrimination has no place on America's streets, least of all on Fifth Avenue."
And it came after Pope Francis set the stage for a radical shift in tone about Roman Catholic Church teaching on homosexuality when he said "Who am I to judge?" about the sexual orientation of priests.
midst of major triumphs for gays and supporters in court rulings on same-sex marriage. When a federal judge on Wednesday upheld Louisiana's ban on same-sex marriages, it was the first loss for gay-marriage supporters after more than 20 consecutive rulings overturning bans in other states.
SARAH KATE ELLIS President of GLAAD
Parade organizers said they were "remaining loyal to church teachings," and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, next year's grand marshal, issued a statement Wednesday saying the committee "continues to have my confidence and support."
The exclusion of gay groups prompted first-term Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio to refuse to march in the 2014 parade, and Guinness and
De Blasio said Wednesday that the inclusion of OUT@ NBCUniversal was "a step forward," but he would not commit to next year's parade until he knows more.
Heineken withdrew their sponsorships.
Guinness' parent company said, "We are pleased to see that the various parties are making progress on this issue." It said it was open to talking with the organizers about supporting the 2015 parade.
NBC, whose local affiliate has been televising the parade since the 1990s, would not confirm reports that it had threatened to drop coverage over the issue of gay participation. But it said NBC executive Francis Comerford, a member of the parade committee, helped with the agreement to include OUT@ NBCUniversal.
Whether it was the mayor or the pope or the people at Guinness who prompted the decision, gay groups took some satisfaction in their role even if it didn't produce everything they wanted.
"This was decades' worth of work," said Ellis, of GLAAD. "The LGBT organizations are the ones that put pressure on the corporations that were sponsoring the parade, and when they withdrew it was the straw that broke the camel's back."

BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DROUGHT
Lack of rain means hardship for Lawrence agriculture, but market prices remain low
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
The drought in Kansas has affected both agriculture and restaurants. The majority of the state is in a drought
LAUREN METZLER
@MetzlerLauren
The drought that has struck Kansas over the past few summers has affected not only agriculture, but the restaurant industry as well.
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, produced by the National Drought Mitigation Center and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 87.92 percent of Kansas is in moderate drought and parts of Western Kansas are in severe and extreme drought.
"Food costs are up for every restaurant in the country," said Josh Hilliard, head baker for WheatFields Bakery Café in downtown Lawrence.
But WheatFields has not seen much of a change in flour prices — a main ingredient in many of its products. Wheatfields hasn't raised its menu prices in a couple of years.
+
This three-year drought in Kansas has not been as kind to farmers. Haley Dix, a junior from Stockton, comes from a family that owns a farm and harvests crops like wheat, soybeans, corn and milo. They also run an Angus cattle ranch.
It takes money and resources to yield a crop. Resources like fertilizer, seed, equipment and fuel are necessary, Dix said. But the drought has reduced the amount of viable crops and caused the output to be low. This makes it increasingly difficult for farmers to earn a living.
"It's taken a really big toll, at least in my community, because a lot of people are maxed out on loans from the bank," Dix said. "Until it rains, until there is a good crop, everyone is in big financial distress."
Although the farming industry has endured hardships, this has not meant disaster for the
Dix ranch.
"You just have to wait it out in a way; that's what my family has done." Dix said. "You just do what you know, do things that you've done that have worked in the past and just hope that it rains."
Traditional business tactics like raising prices are not an option for the Dix family because they are not able to set their own prices. Commodity prices are set by the market, Dix said.
"The market is kind of backwards right now. In April, [the price of wheat] was around $8 and now it's at $5, so it's dropped like 10 cents a day," Dix said. "You would think it would go the other way because we have less supply and the same demand."
This is good news for businesses like WheatFields Bakery.
"Food costs are up for every restaurant in the country."
JOSH HILLIARD
Head baker for WheatFields
Just last weekend, Hilliard spent the holiday inputting the raw ingredients used at WheatFields into a new inventory system to keep track of product prices. This helps the management staff identify if they are overspending and if they can reduce prices by buying the same quality ingredients elsewhere.
Even though wheat prices have lowered for the Dix family, this does not mean that all wheat prices have followed that trend. WheatFields had to make the switch from organic flour to traditional flour. This was necessary when the price
of organic flour rose to more than double that of regular flour. Hilliard said.
"Organic flour is both extremely expensive right now and very hard to come by," Hilliard said.
WheatFields purchases food products from Dawn Distribution, United Natural Foods and U.S. Foods. These companies distribute produce from farms like Heartland Mill, a farmer-owned co-op in Western Kansas. Heartland Mill began importing organic wheat from Argentina this last summer. WheatFields has since stopped purchasing from Heartland Mill.
"We just thought that it doesn't make sense to be buying wheat grown in Argentina when we have high quality conventional wheat here in Kansas." Hilliard said.
At the start, WheatFields only used organic flour. Some time between 1994 and 2008, when Hilliard joined the WheatFields team, the organic craze hit the U.S., and organic wheat became much more expensive, Hilliard said. When prices started to go up, adaptation was necessary.
"Eventually it got to the point where we said if we keep raising prices to pay for this flour then we're going to lose our customers," Hilliard said. "We tried to stay organic for as long as we could."
Although the flour might have changed at WheatFields, not much else has. Hilliard is sure that they are set to weather the drought.
"We're 20 years old," Hilliard said. "We've been doing this for a while. We have a dedicated customer base that we love. We're not going anywhere."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A tip from an "average citizen" led to the end of a frantic manhunt and the filing of more than a dozen felony charges for a 34-year-old convicted felon with a history of violence.
Prosecutions charged Brandon B. Howell on Wednesday, one day after police say he fatally shot three people and critically wounded two others in quiet south Kansas City neighborhood. Eleven hours after the shooting, police found Howell walking along Interstate 29 near midnight with a loaded .12-gauge shotgun down his pants.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Howell faces 12 felony charges in Jackson County, including three counts of first-degree murder, for the shooting deaths of Alice Hurst, 88; her son, Darrel Hurst, 63; and Susan Chourcoun, 69. He also is accused of severely beating George and Anna Taylor, who remained in critical condition at a local hospital Wednesday, Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said.
He was also charged in Platte County with burglary, three counts of assault and other offenses related to three
Man charged in three shooting deaths in KC
Witnesses told police they heard several shots and saw a beige Toyota Highlander stop in front of Choucroun's home and a man get out carrying a long gun, the probable cause statement said. Prosecutors said the man shot the woman, got back into the Toyota and drove away.
The shootings appeared to be random, Peters Baker said. Kansas City police responded to a 911 call from Anna Taylor at 12:50 p.m. Tuesday. Officers found Choucroum's body in the driveway of one of the homes in this tidy, middle-class cul-de-sac lined with duplexes. The Taylers were next door in their basement suffering from critical injuries, and a few houses away, the Hursts' bodies lay in the front yard.
Schools near the motel were locked down and residents were urged to stay inside and lock their doors Tuesday evening as the search for the suspect continued.
Two hours later, police received a report that three people had been assaulted at a Motel 6 about 30 miles from the shooting scene. While canvassing the commercial area, officers found the stolen SUV in a restaurant parking lot near the motel.
"This is not a crime spree," Baker said at a news conference. "This was an individual who committed heinous acts and he is going to pay for his acts."
Kansas City was gripped by the news, as it appeared to be a random shooting spree.
Howell is being held without bond in the Jackson County jail. Kansas court records show he was paroled in 2011 after a conviction for a home invasion in Johnson County, Kansas, in which one victim was cut on the hand and a cat was killed.
Peters Baker said the shotgun Howell had at the time of his arrest Tuesday was the same one he bought in January 2000, eight months before pleading guilty to several charges in the 1999 home invasion and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Howell also was acquitted in 2009 in the killings of two Kansas teenagers who were last seen in 1998. One victim's body was later found buried outside a Kansas City home being renovated by Howell's father; the other body has never been found.

Freeway construction underway in Lawrence
BETH FENTRESS
@ElizaFentress
Recent construction behind The Connection Apartments is part of a $129.8 million effort to build a new freeway.
Kimberly Qualls, Northeast Kansas Public Affairs Manager, says the goal of the South Lawrence Trafficway Project is to create a six-mile, four-lane freeway extending from U.S. 59 to K-10 in East Lawrence.
"It's an important regional corridor because Lawrence serves as a bedroom community for those who work in Topeka or in Kansas City." Qualls said. "There are two major universities [in Lawrence], so it provides a regional connection from the Kansas City metro area and points to the west."
Area engineer Steve Baalman said the project idea was first conceived in the 1980s and partially built in the 1990s.
However, environmental issues delayed the project for almost 20 years. In order to build the freeway, construction must cut through roughly 30 acres of wetland. To alleviate environmental concerns this time around, leaders of the project will work with Baker University to restore 300 acres of wetland and prairie.
"What I know of the history of the project, there was a degree of resistance to it," Baalman said.
Baalman said the freeway is meant to reduce traffic congestion.
According to a statement by the Kansas Department of Transportation, the project is funded by a program called T-WORKS that was approved by the Kansas Legislature four years ago. The freeway is estimated to be completed by fall 2016.

About a year ago, KU Dining hired dietitian Mary Rondon to help students with restrictions figure out their best meal plan options. Kidwell said Rondon's services are a good recruitment tool to market towards new students with food allergies.

Kidwell said a problem they hear about often is limited hours, but they continue to do their best to meet needs.

recommends sanctions for the perpetrator to the Office of Student Conduct, which then decides which recommendations to implement. The article reported that IOA recommended the man also do community service, but that the Office of Student Conduct decided that was too "punitive."
"I think it's important to know that we can go through an investigation and do the best we can and do everything right, but at the end there is always going to be one side that isn't happy, who's disgruntled, who feels like they weren't treated fairly," McQueeny said. "And so part of what we try to do is to be a front in our communications and be transparent in the process, but that still doesn't guarantee that someone's not going to be unhappy with the result."
HUFFPO FROM PAGE 1A
In an interview on Sept. 3, McQueeny said she couldn't speak directly to the specific case. She said IOA investigated 20 reports of sexual assault and harassment in 2013 and 17 so far this year. Of these 37, she said 27 cases were sexual assault. McQueeny said they try to do what's best for victims.
A statement made by the University on Wednesday said they are committed to creating a safe environment for everyone in the community. The University works with victims to determine appropriate sanctions against the accused. In attempts to prevent sexual assault from occurring, the University provides sexual assault and harassment training to all
According to the Huffington Post article, both students involved in the case attended a party on Oct. 18, 2013, hosted by the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. After midnight, the female student was drunk and was assisted by the male student, who walked with her to the dorm where they both lived, the article said. Once there, they reportedly had sex in his room.
Emily Donovan, Paige Stingley, McKenna Harford, Dalton Kingery and Erica Staab contributed to this report.
The woman reported the assault on Oct. 20, 2013. The article said that the man later told campus police that he continued to have sex with the woman after she said "no," "stop" and "I can't do this." The article said that an investigation by the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access determined the man guilty of "non-consensual sex" and punished him with probation and a ban from University housing. He was also ordered to write a four-page reflection paper and attend counseling.

Pittsburg police seeking vandals of public art
Police say they have video showing people who might have vandalized one of the painted footballs on Sunday. The footballs have been on display in downtown Pittsburg since June.
The Joplin Globe reports (http://bit.ly/1nWfAGq ) continued vandalism prompted art festival organizers to move 20 of the 24 large painted footballs out of downtown Monday and into the Meadowbrook Mall in south Pittsburg. Four of the footballs have been damaged by vandals since July.
The footballs were to remain on display downtown until Oct. 12, and then were to be auctioned off to raise funds for future art exhibits.
PITTSBURG, Kan. — The Pittsburg Police Department says it is looking for vandals who damaged several fiberglass footballs that were part of a public art project called SEK Art Fest.

Brownback: Davis not credible on water issues
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback promised Wednesday to finish work on a 50-year water conservation plan for Kansas if he's re-elected, and said Democratic challenger Paul Davis' lack of interest in water policy issues leaves him with no credibility on the subject.
Brownback had a news conference Wednesday on a boat ramp on the Kansas River in Topeka to outline his plan for dealing with the state's natural resources, the final piece of his re-election campaign platform. He told reporters afterward that he's open to proposals for phasing out a state renewable energy requirement for utilities, so long as it's negotiated by wind industry officials, critics of the rule and other interested parties.
But the governor's main focus Wednesday was water policy. His administration is drafting a 50-year water conservation plan and expects to roll out pieces of it next year, and the governor successfully pushed for a major overhaul of water-use laws in 2012 that ended the state's previous "use it or lose it" policy on water rights for farmers and other users.
He said water conservation is vital to the state's future and said even if the state has knowledgeable officials to oversee water policy, it counts for relatively little if the governor isn't interested. He said Davis, the Kansas House minority leader, has shown little interest in such issues in his 11 years as a legislator.
"I have credibility to work on this topic, and my opponent does not," Brownback said.
The Kansas Democratic Party's current platform embraces a 50-year water conservation plan and says depletion of
aquifers and reservoirs "are critical problems." But Davis has said little about such issues, focusing on education funding and criticizing personal income tax cuts enacted at Brownback's urging as he woos disaffected GOP moderates.
But Davis spokesman Chris Pumpelly said the Democrat has met privately with farmers, water-rights attorneys and others to discuss water issues. Also, Pumpelly said, funding for water projects is jeopardized by the tax cuts, which have dropped the state's top personal income tax rate by 26 percent and exempted the owners of 191,000 from personal income taxes.
"The person who lacks credibility on this issue is Governor Brownback," Pumpnelly said.
Meanwhile, Brownback has seen a push by conservative Republicans to repeal the state's renewable energy rule for utilities. The 2009 state law requires utilities to have wind and other renewable sources account for 15 percent of their peak capacity for generating electricity by 2016 and 20 percent by 2020.
The governor caused a stir among supporters and critics of the law in July by telling reporters that interested parties to negotiate a compromise on phasing out the rule — which prompted his office to say hours later that he wasn't proposing a repeal. He said Wednesday that he's supported the rule as a way to help nurture wind energy, but now the industry is strong.
"If there's a way over time to work that off or to change that, I'm willing to look at that," he said. "These are methods and techniques to try to get an industry up and going, and they shouldn't remain forever."

Coach Charlie Weis encourages Kansas players during the Sept. 14, 2013, game against South Dakota State. Weis is looking to turn around the football program this season by changing his coaching philosophy.
WAITING FOR WEIS
Coach seeks to turn football program around with improved roster, new coaching philosophy
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
"I know the sky is falling around Kansas football; I got that. I've heard," Weis said. "Inside the building, there's nothing falling around here because we're getting ready to go."
When a football coach triples his number of wins from year one to year two, he shouldn't be fighting for his job in year three. But that's exactly what Charlie Weis is doing as he enters the 2014 season with a combined 4-20 record.
The outside noise of displeasure has roared even louder after the Jayhawks' fifth consecutive losing season, despite Weis leading them to three wins and a conference victory, both for the first time since 2010.
He enters his third and most crucial year with arguably his most talented roster since coming to Kansas.
"This is the best we've felt
by a wide margin about the talent we have here," Weis said. "Now, that being said, I mean, we've done very little to back it up, from me right on down. So we'll see where it goes."
Defense will be a strong focus for the Jayhawks in 2014. They are led by one of the

best defensive players in the conference, senior linebacker Ben Heeney. Not to mention a secondary that has drawn comparisons to the 2007 secondary that was stacked with NFL-caliber defensive backs.
"A year ago the secondary
"I'm really looking forward to being a head coach," Weis said. "I'm going to spend some time sitting in the offensive room and defensive room, but really I'm going to spend much more time on special teams. I'm going to be in every special teams meeting. I'm going to create the level of importance on special teams from today on."
Of course, Weis knows better than anyone that there will be some who are reluctant to believe Kansas football is on the rise. There will be naysayers who refuse to believe a better roster, a new offense and changed coaching habits will result in a change in the win column.
"We have run versions of the spread before, a lot more in 2007 when we fully adapted it," Reagan said. "We will have to look at how we are, in some spread offences you try to get as many plays as you can. But going really fast doesn't work if you aren't really good."
was a big question mark, now we are comparing them to the best secondary in Kansas football history," defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said. "But they have all the talent in the world to do it."
But Weis knows exactly what it will take to change all that.
But the Jayhawks will only go as far as their offense takes them. After another disappointing year, Weis stepped down from calling the plays on offense, handing that duty to offensive coordinator John Reagan, who plans to adapt the spread offense.
"The only way we're going to change anyone's mind is on the field," Weis said.
Weis even plans to change some of his coaching habits heading into his third year, which includes spending more time with the special teams unit.

Taurasi lifts Mercury to 96- 78 win over Lynx
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX Diana Taurasi has always had a knack for playing her best in the biggest games.
Taurasi scored 31 points, including hitting a key 50-footer at the end of the third quarter, to lift the Phoenix Mercury to a 96-78 win over the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night in the decisive game of the Western Conference finals.
Taurasi improved to 7-0 in her career in winner-take-all games.
Taurasi admitted that she hadn't made many halfcourt shots in practice.
"I never make them, I don't think I have made one all year," Taurasi said. "I'll miss them all year to make that one."
"There is no player in the world I would rather have on my team." Mercury coach Sandy Brondello said.
"For the most part, going in to the last couple of minutes of the third, they got the momentum, they were playing well, they were feeling good, they were making us feel uncomfortable," Taurasi said. "Couple of plays turns that."
Down eight points at the half, Minnesota clawed back to tie the game at 67 before Taurasi took over. She hit a jumper and then connected on her shot from the other side of halfcourt to give the Mercury a five-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.
She then scored the first eight points of the fourth to put the game away and give Phoenix an 80-67 lead with 7:19 left. Minnesota had eliminated Phoenix in the 2011 and 2013 en route to winning the title.
Phoenix coach Sandy Brondello noted the shot got
the crowd back in the game after Minnesota had erased a double-digit lead in the final 90 seconds of the third.
"When anyone makes a big shot like that, you just think, 'okay, it's our night,'"
Brondello said. "The look in their eyes, we just knew."
The Mercury, which had the best record in the league, will face the winner of Wednesday's Chicago-Indiana game.
"I thought that Phoenix played great, they were hard to play against," said Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve, who got ejected after receiving two technical fouls with 1:58 left. "It's not like we played that bad. I got a good team. I thought that we just didn't get done some things we were trying to do on Griner and then Dee. I saw Dee before the game and I told our staff, 'Dee's got a bounce in her step.'"
Minnesota, which had made the WNBA Finals the past three seasons, missed its first 10 shots of the fourth period, falling behind 85-67 midway through the quarter.
Seimone Augustus had 13 of her 21 points in the third quarter as the Lynx erased a 10-point deficit. Lindsay Whalen had 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists but missed four straight shots to start the fourth quarter.
"Taurasi hits a halfcourt shot, tough shot, that was momentum, that was a momentum play for them," Whalen said. "After that we had a hard time getting stops, we started taking tough shots, they weren't falling, the shots that were falling in the first, weren't."
Kansas' secondary compared to Orange Bowl team
STELLA LIANG

Going into the first week of the football season, there is one group Coach Charlie Weis doesn't seem too worried about: the secondary.
Despite the loss of junior cornerback Kevin Short, which was announced Tuesday, the group provides experience, proven production and stability.

"The secondary is rock solid," Weis said.
Junior safety Isaiah Johnson and senior safety Cassius Sendish, with senior cornerbacks Dexter McDonald and JaCorey Shepherd in particular rival the group of safeties and cornerbacks from 2007.
For the Kansas football program, drawing any comparison to the 2007 team tends to be a good thing. That team lost only one game and was bolstered by a strong

secondary that came up with three interceptions in the Orange Bowl victory. That unit had the likes of Aqib Talib, Chris Harris and Darrell Stuckey, who are all in the NFL right now.
"Just being compared to guys like that, it shows we really do have the talent," Shepherd said. "I feel like the expectations for us are really high."
McDonald will join Shepherd at the corner position, McDonald on the left side and Shepherd on the right side. Both players earned honorable mention on last year's All-Big 12 team.

The Kansas depth took a hit when Kansas Athletics and Weis announced Tuesday that Short would be leaving the program and withdrawing from school for personal reasons. Weis said Short had been practicing as a backup, as the team had been preparing the worst.

"This is not something that just happened yesterday," Weis said. "This has been going on for a while."
At the safety position. Johnson led the team in interceptions last season (5)
after coming to Kansas from Iowa Western Community College. His interceptions were good for second in the conference, en route to being named the Big 12 defensive newcomer of the year and becoming the first Jayhawk to earn the award.
Perhaps the most important player on the secondary is Sendish. Already thought of as the leader of the group, his position was solidified when his teammates chose him, a senior free safety, in August as one of three team captains for the season.
Sendish came to Kansas last season as a junior college transfer and made an immediate impact. He admits there was a learning curve, but that didn't stop him from recording 68 tackles and becoming a known name for Kansas fans.
"Fish (Smithson) can play either safety (position)," Weis said. "Even though Alex (Matlock) is listed in the two-

It can be all too easy to become immersed in the week-to-week spirit and pageantry that Kansas basketball provides.

but things are starting to look up. Entering his third season at Kansas, Coach Charlie Weis is in control of what is easily his most talented and experienced team yet. In addition to having a strong roster, the team is implementing a new spread offense that will be headed up by dual-threat quarterback Montell Cozart and offensive coordinator John Reagan, the team's new play caller. The spread offense, used by teams such as Baylor and Auburn, is being implemented in hopes of speeding up scoring drives allowing for more offensive possessions in a single game.
After what will hopefully be swift and frequent scores, the defense will be prepared to return the ball to the offense with notable talent, experience
and leadership in players like senior linebacker Ben Heeney, senior cornerback Dexter McDonald and senior Defensive lineman Keon Stowers.
The Jayhawks have to win six games to qualify for postseason play. Six wins is all the team has accumulated in the past three years, but this year's schedule shows great promise and opportunity. If the队 can enter conference play 3-0 with wins over Southeast Missouri, Duke and Central Michigan, the team will only need one major upset assuming they can win two home games against opponents TCU and Iowa State.
There's no doubt that things will get rough this season. The Big 12 Conference contains an arsenal of prestigious programs including Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas making lopsided losses essentially unavoidable.
It's important to remember, though, that all hope is not lost. I've seen and
heard too many "fans" already condemning the team to another failure of a season. It should be noted that a decade ago, Kansas football reached four bowl games in eight seasons, winning three, and was well on its way to building a small dynasty before the Mark Mangino scandal. Like Mangino, Weis has slowly built the program back up and has begun securing significant high school and transfer talent to ensure future success.
This Saturday it begins, and you can be a part of it. Grab your friends, take a walk down the hill, find a good seat and don't forget your keys. The tradition and spirit you feel at a Kansas football game is strangely magical and unlike anything else in Lawrence. The Jayhawks are officially 0-0 and anything could happen.

BILBAO, Spain — They were expected to be in Barcelona. They hope to finish their trip in Madrid.
The Americans wrapped up the No.1 seed in their group Wednesday, improving to 4-0 at the Basketball World Cup with a 106-71 victory over the Dominican Republic.
Kenneth Faried, whose shooting percentage dropped after he missed three shots,
scored 16 points for the U.S. DeMarcus Cousins came off the bench and added 13 points on 5-of-5 shooting.
The Americans will finish Group C play in Bilbao on Thursday against Ukraine — when U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski will coach against long-time friend and former NBA coach Mike Fratello — before playing their round of 16 game Saturday night in Barcelona against the fourth-place team from Group D, which is still to be determined.
A few wins there and they
would play for gold in Madrid, but nobody is look
"Obviously we have to take care of here. Nothing's given," forward Rudy Gay said. "We've worked hard, we've been tested and we've overcome that, and also got some pretty big wins." The Americans surpassed 100 points for the second time in the tournament — and they were "held" to 98 points in their other two games. Even after having to overcome a halftime deficit in one game, they came in averaging a tournament-best 103.3 points
and were winning by 35.7 per game.
All 12 players scored, and the ones who weren't in the game were up cheering when back-of-the-bench centers Mason Plumlee and Andre Drummond hooked up on an alley-oop in the final minutes.
"I believe everybody felt pretty good how they played tonight," Cousins said. "That's what we're going to need to continue this path."
The Americans led by only three points after one quarter but had no trouble extending
that as the game went on, as the Dominicans' willingness to push the pace simply played into the Americans' hands.
Faried made 8 of 11 shots, a 73-percent clip that actually lowered his percentage for the tournament to 78.4 percent after the Denver forward came into the game hitting 81 percent.
Victor Liz scored 15 points for the Dominican Republic (2-2), which will face Turkey on Thursday, still in position to advance.
The Dominicans played
without Houston Rockets forward Francisco Garcia, who entered the day's play tied for fourth in the tournament with 21 points per game. He appeared to turn an ankle late in the Dominicans' victory over Finland on Tuesday, and though he finished the game, was walking gingerly Wednesday as he went to the bench after his teammates had come out to warm up.
"They were short-handed. We knew that," Krzyzewski said. "I thought we did a good job tonight."

Jayhawk football team ready to begin season
STELLA LIANG
@stelly.liang
Seventy-seven points. Eight rushing touchdowns. 516 total yards of offense. These statistics sound like they come from a video game. Instead, these knockout numbers were put up by a real college football team last week, Southeast Missouri State — the Kansas Jayhawks' first opponent of the season.
SEMO, which plays in the
Championship Subdivision, put on a show against Missouri Baptist on Aug. 29. Even though Missouri Baptist isn't a quality opponent (this is the team's annual season).
Kansas is not taking SEMO and its dominant performance lightly.
"The first game they were dominant in all three facets," Kansas Coach Charlie Weis said. "They were dominant on offense, they were dominant on defense, and I think that he [SEMO coach Tom Matutekewicz] was most pleased about they were dominant on special teams."
Of course, Saturday's opener for the Jayhawks is bigger than just who they're playing. The game is the first chance the team has to prove it has turned a corner and back up the general optimism coming from the coaches and players.
Weis, who is starting his third year, knows the fans are hungry. He also understande
this game could set the tone for the season.
"I think it's important for the psyche of our team for us to play well," Weis said. "If we come out and have a sloppy opener, a win is still a win if that's the case, but a sloppy opener doesn't help the psyche of the team."
The personnel for the Jayhawks will be a mix of up-and-coming players and veterans who have seen it all.
Listed on the latest depth
"I think if our offense can score enough points, we'll have a chance to win a whole bunch of games."
CHARLIE WEIS Kansas football coach
For the veterans, there is no one more important than sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart. Starting the season with an experienced Jayhawk quarterback is not something that has happened before in Weis' tenure at Kansas.
chart are six true freshmen, including place kicker John Duvic, who beat sophomore Matthew Wyman for the starting role. Weis said more than likely, all of the freshman on the list will see playing time Saturday.
"（Cozart）start camp and was doing really well and had a little bit of a lull, then came out of that and since that has been very good," offensive coordinator John Reagan said. "It's fun, it's exciting, and he
has every right to be where he is with his confidence right now based on his camp."
Also on the offensive side, many eyes will be on the running back position. Since senior running backs Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox were both lost for the season due to injuries, an air of mystery has surrounded the position. Junior college transfer De'Andre Mann and freshman Corey Avery are set to take over. Neither has
the starting job, so they look to share carries against SEMO.
The defense has the job of stopping the SEMO offense that proved it can rack up big yards. Quarterback Kyle Snyder completed
10 of 12 passes against Missouri Baptist with two touchdowns. Seven different players rushed for touchdowns; Snyder was the only one to run for two of them. Weis said he thinks his defense is ready for the challenge.
"I think our defense is going to be pretty solid, to tell you the truth," Weis said. "I think if our offense can score enough points, we'll have a chance to win a whole bunch of games."
Nassau will take on the SEMO Redhawks, who play out of Ohio Valley Conference this Saturday at 6 p.m.

★★★★☆
JOHN T. MCKINNEY
De'Andre Mann, Jr. Running back
Mann has become the starter due to season-ending injuries to the top two backs. He'll see a majority of the backfield carries, but freshman Corey Avery will see time as well.

Kyle Snyder, Sr.
Quarterback
Last week, Snyder was a sharp 10-12 for 198 yards and two touchdowns, and added 33 yards on the ground and two scores against an expansion program in Missouri Baptist. SEMO struggled to throw the football last year, and Kansas linebackers can pin their ears back and corral Snyder.
☆☆☆☆
DeMichael Jackson, Jr. Running back
In week one against Missouri Baptist, Jackson picked up right where he left off last season with 82 rushing yards on just eight carries and a 66-yard screen pass for a touchdown. The junior averaged 140.5 yards rushing over the last four games of the 2013 season.

Hamm-Bey will likely be Harwell's first challenge in the Jayhawk uniform. Cozart will be looking his way often as he works the middle of the field on crossing routes.

AARON GROENE/KANSAN
Despite this being the worst stretch of four years in the program's history, the running back position has always been a consistent bright spot. Running back James Sims, who graduated in May 2014, racked up 3,592 yards to rank him Kansas' third all-time rusher. He finished second in both carries (798) and touchdowns (34).
But for the first time since 2009, James Sims won't be behind the quarterback ready to take the handoff.
That job was supposed to belong to seniors Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox. That was until both running backs suffered season-ending injuries in fall camp.
"My first thought is for those two kids. They are seniors and they have those injuries," offensive coordinator John Reagan said.
What was once touted as the deepest position on the team now stands as the team's biggest question mark. Rather than having a duo of experienced running backs ready to take the helm, Kansas will be trotting out a backfield that combined has zero carries in a Kansas uniform.
Coach Charlie Weis still plans to use a mixture of two running backs in his new spread offense ran by Reagan. The two running backs he plans to use will be junior college transfer DeAndre Mann and freshman Corey Avery, who will both be making their Division I debats this Saturday.
Due to injuries to Bourbon and Cox, former-running back and converted receiver Tony Pierson will see time in the backfield, where he hasn't
played since he was injured against Texas Tech on Oct. 5, 2013.
Even though Pierson doesn't practice in the backfield as much as he used to, he rushed for 1,319 yards in his first three seasons for the lavhawks.
Despite the lack of experience in what has arguably been the strongest position for Kansas football in his tenure, Weis remains optimistic.
"I would be surprised if they don't play well," Weis said.
Weis plans to use both running backs equally and in different situations.
"You are going to see a whole bunch of both of them," Weis said. "It's really not important to me which guy is out on the field. We feel confident in both of them."
Mann, a 5-foot-9,198-pound back from Hartnell College, was rated as the fifth best junior college running back in the nation by ESPN.com. Because of experience at the collegiate level, he is expected to face the high demands of
the Big 12.
"DeAndre is probably the better football player," Weis said. "He is ready for primetime. He is built with that body to take a Big 12 pounding."
Mann's partner-in-crime. Avery is a freshman running back out of Carter High School in Dallas. Avery was rated a four-star prospect by ESPN.com and chose Kansas over offers from Nebraska, Texas and Texas Tech. Despite only being here for a short amount of time, Weis has
oeen impressed with Avery's ability to make plays.
"Corey is actually the better athlete, and his upside is through the roof," Weis said. "He has the ability to make people miss."
To add some much-needed depth at an inexperienced position, Weis moved freshman safety Joe Dineen Jr. to running back. Despite being relatively new to the position, the Free State alumnus has impressed the coaching staff these past two weeks and could see some
playing time Saturday.
"I think Joe Dineen is ready to play in the game," Weis said. "He is clearly the next guy in. Since we have moved him from defense to offense, he has just gotten better," Weis said.
Neither of these guys will step in and make fans forget about James Sims. But with the combination of these three young men, the running back remains one of the more intriguing positions heading into the 2014 season.

Cardinals beat Pirates, open 2 1/2-game lead
Yadier Molina walked with two outs in the ninth on a 3-2 pitch from Mark Melancon (2-4), who had entered an inning earlier. Molina advanced to second on John Jay's single and scored on the hit by Bourjos, easily beating the throw home from center fielder Andrew McCutchen.
ST. LOUIS — Peter Bourjos singled home the winning run in the ninth inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0 Wednesday to stretch their winning streak to five.
St. Louis moved into sole possession of the NL Central lead for the first time Monday and extended it to 2 1/2 games with a three-game sweep that dropped the Pirates five games back. Pittsburgh has lost 10 of its last 12 road games, dropping to a major league-worst 17-29 away from home in day games.
Trevor Rosenthal (2-6) pitched a one-hit ninth. Pinch-hitter Gregory Polanco drew an 11-pitch walk leading off the eighth against Carlos Martinez, who retired the next three batters.

St. Louis starter Shelby Miller allowed three hits and three walks in seven innings. The Pirates' Edinson Volquez gave up three hits and two walks in 6 1-3 inthe performance will be followed by a talkback with the cast about the play and their study-abroad experience in Greece.
Plate home umpire Ron Kulpa issued a warning to both benches in the fifth inning after Miller threw a high fastball that sailed behind McCutchen. In the fourth, Volquez had hit Matt Holiday and Matt Adams back to back.
Pittsburgh catcher Martin threw out Jay attempting to steal third in the eighth. Martin has throw out runners attempting to steal in four straight games and leads the NL with 25 runners caught stealing — four short of his league-high total last year.

Kansas football newcomers aim to strengthen program
DAN HARMSEN
Freshman Corey Avery, a flat-topped Texan with the moniker "Superman" and a smile from ear-to-ear, is listed as the number one ball carrier on the Kansas depth chart heading into the 2014 season.
@udk_dan
Avery, the 2014 graduate from illustrious Carter High School in Dallas, had no shortage of offers to play Division I football upon graduation. At least 13 schools extended scholarships to the 5-foot-10, 195-pounder, according to rivals.com, including Baylor, LSU, Nebraska, Texas and Ohio State — the team Avery made his initial verbal commitment to.
Determined to show that he is not the running back solely because of injuries to Taylor Cox and Brandon Bourbon, Avery says he deserves the position because of skill.
Avery signed with Kansas on Feb. 3.

"I'm a quick running back, explosive — not overpowering
Coach Charlie Weis, who has never been hesitant to admire a player, agrees.
"Based on perspective and perception of what I've seen, I've been very excited about Corey," Weis said. "He makes people miss, and that excites me."
But it's another new face that will be competing with Avery for snaps.
"De'Andre [Mann]
challenging for number one, as well," Weis said. "There's quite the competition. DeAndre is a natural runner, and he also has a second gear that's good to see on the field sometimes with a guy who's 5-foot-9, 205 [pounds]. You see that short, stocky guy, and you say, 'He's not going to be able to run like that', but he can."
Mann, a Miami native, turned down an opportunity to play for the Miami Hurricanes to join the Jayhawks. The junior rushed for 1,706 yards at Hartnell College in Salinas, Calif., last year and was selected Regional Offensive Player of the Year, and a first team Alla couple other guys, will be pushing." Weis said.

Harwell leads program after only one season
BLAIR SHEADE
@realblairsheady
9 KANSAS 9
A little over a year ago, receiver Nick Harwell was not a well-known name in Lawrence. He was known as the player dismissed from Miami University after an arrest in March of 2013.
AMIE JUST/KANSAN
"I just want to focus on Kansas." Harwell said.
But Harwell didn't want to talk to about his past, and wouldn't comment on anything that happened at his former university.
Senior wide receiver Nick Harwell runs around a defender during the Spring Game on April 12. Harwell had to sit out last season due to NCAA rules, but is expected to be a top player when he returns to the field Saturday.
Harwell, one of the three team captains, had to sit out a year after transferring, and he said that missing the 2013 season was a humbling experience.
"Playing three years and then sitting out shows how much this game means to you, but I've had time to develop my body and get into the playbook and learn the plays," Harwell said.
Harwell is an optimistic young man, and anyone who looks into his eyes can see the focus that he brings as a football player and an individual.
The senior earned his role as a team captain not by chance, but by showing that he's a leader, and he said he's honored to be a captain and hopes to set a good example for the younger players.
"I try to spread my work ethic and to show them, even though I've been successful in the past, you still have to work hard to get where you're going." Harwell said.
It's uncommon for a player to be awarded a team captain position after being around the team for one season. Senior tight end Jimmay Mundine said Harwell's leadership started as soon as he showed up in Lawrence.
"It started last year when he couldn't play, and most guys
you would think would be down and depressed that they couldn't play this year, but [Harwell] had a lot of energy." Mundine said. "He tried to get guys going and tried helping where he could. He leads by example."
Harwell, who caught 229 passes for 3,166 yards and 23 touchdowns in the three seasons for the Redhawks, is a determined and confident football player. He said his goals for this season are to win the Biletnikoff Award for the best wide receiver in the country and do something no other NCAA receiver has ever done.
"I want to catch every ball thrown to me," Harwell said. "The receiver's goals are 85 percent of ball completions, but I want to catch 100 percent of them."
And that's exactly why Coach Charlie Weis offered him a scholarship as soon as Harwell was available.
"It would be nice to have some receivers scoring touchdowns." Weis said. "And I'm not being sarcastic."
But why Kansas? Why not go to a big-time program that has won more than four games in the past two seasons? Harwell, a Missouri City, Texas, native, said the decision was simple.
"New start, new beginning, Big 12 Conference and more exposure," Harwell said. "Just more exposure, really."
Harwell didn't care that the last time the Jayhawks went to a bowl game was 2008. He didn't care that the last time a Kansas receiver caught more than 70 balls was 2009. Harwell wants to make this team better, and he thinks that the receiving corps will be a night and day comparison from last season.
"[The receivers] are far more motivated, we have a lot more guys and we have experience. I feel like our coaching staff brings a lot of motivation that makes you want to go out and play."
last season, too. Offensive coordinator John Reagan has implemented a new spread offense compared to the prostyle offense Weis ran the previous two seasons. Harwell, in his eyes, thinks the spread offense will change the rate of success because "receivers get the ball more."
"I can definitely catch balls, and I feel like me catching balls will open up more passing for other receivers," Harwell said.
The coaching staff doesn't only bring motivation; it brings a different scheme from
Reagan would agree that Harwell has earned his role as the top receiver in this league and makes the other receivers better.
"Outside of Nick, it's potential, not productivity," Reagan said.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Will Charlie Weis be on the hot seat after this season?
By Amie Just
@amie just
“YES”
To put it simply, Coach Charlie Weis is already on the hot
seat. Weis, entering his third season with the layhawks, has a 4-20 record over the last two years. If this year doesn't have a significant change in wins, Weis could be fired. Despite Weis having a contract that runs through 2016, Kansas has recently been known for terminating contracts early if coaches don't keep up with demands.
Take Turner Gill for example. He coached two seasons at Kansas before Weis, and his record was 5-19. He had one more win than Weis and was canned, even though his contract was for five years.
Kansas hasn't won a road game under the direction of Weis. The last road game Kansas won was back in 2009 against the University of Texas at El Paso. Not only has Kansas lost on the road, but the losses have come with
substantial point differences. Since the UTEP game, Kansas has been outscored 347 to 1046 on the road. If Weis wants to get off the hot seat, Kansas needs to win in enemy territory.
Winning on the road in 2014 is going to be tough. This season Kansas plays Duke, West Virginia, Texas Tech, Baylor, Oklahoma and Kansas State on the road. In the first week of the season, Duke beat Elon 52-13. West Virginia kept it close with Alabama, the No. 2 ranked team in the nation. Texas Tech beat Central Arkansas 42-35. Baylor embarrassed Southern Methodist 45-0. Oklahoma topped Louisiana Tech 48-16. Kansas State beat Stephen F. Austin 55-16. In the second week of the AP Top 25 poll, Oklahoma, Baylor and Kansas State are all ranked, with Duke, West Virginia and Texas Tech all receiving votes.
Since Weis has been at the helm, Kansas has only won one conference game. If Kansas wants to be considered as a contender and be respected in the world of Division 1 football, that has to change. However, winning a conference game will be difficult. The road games
Kansas plays are going to be tough. All but one (Duke) are conference opponents. Kansas plays Texas, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and TCU at home this season. In week one, Texas beat North Texas 38-7. Oklahoma State held their own against the defending national champion, Florida State, losing by just a touchdown. Iowa State had a FCS whooping from North Dakota State 34-14. TCU easily handled Samford 48-14.
If Weis doesn't come up with wins this season, he's going to be on the hot seat even more than he is already. By the looks of this season's opponents, winning isn't going to be easy.

"NO"
When Charlie Weis stepped into a coaching position
at Kansas, he made it very clear: it's a five-year process to get back to success. The Jay-hawks seemed to support that idea with a five-year contract worth $12.5 million for Weis.
2014 will be year three for Weis at Kansas. In Weis' first season, after the two-year Turner Gill debacle, he picked up only one win, and further affirmed Kansas' role as the Big 12's football doormat.
In 2013, prospects started looking up with three wins. Although the team picked up a win in the Big 12, it has, by no means, been satisfying for Jayhawks fans.
DAILY DEBATE RESULTS: SEPT. 4, 2014 Which unit will perform better for KU football? Offense or defense?
Already, Weis has taken steps toward improving again in 2014. Weis eliminated all questions and drama about the most important position on the team when he named sophomore Montell Cozart the starter in the spring, a smart coaching decision.
Which unit will perform better for KU football? Offense or defense?

VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT KANSAN.COM
Though there seems to be certainty at the quarterback position, there are plenty of questions elsewhere for Weis especially after his top two running backs - seniors Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox - both suffered season-ending injuries just weeks before the season. However, Weis recruited a heap of junior college talent during the offseason, and, overall, beat in-state rival Kansas State in recruitment.
and two more at tight end. On the defensive side of the ball, captains Cassius Sendish and Ben Heeney will headline, both as seniors.
Not only is there an influx of new talent, but this is also Weis' most experienced team, despite the inexperience at quarterback. On the offensive end, the team will start seniors Tony Pierson and transfer Nick Harwell at wideout, while three seniors will lead the way for the offensive line,
The only underclassman who will come into the Sept. 6 game against Southeast Missouri State as a starter is Cozart, whom Weis felt enough confidence in to name a starter months ago.
This Jayhawks team, despite some recent misfortune with the injury bug, should, without a doubt, take a few more steps forward this season. Weis is expected to pick up two wins in non-conference play before taking on the Big 12, where fans will likely want three or more wins from Weis in a multitude of winnable games, or they will want his job.
Weis' job this season is to get the Jayhawks back to the middle of the pack in the Big 12. The question is simply this: Will the steps Weis and his team take be enough for Weis to keep his job?
Remember, the Jayhawks gave Weis five years for a reason, and the plan to rebuild the Jayhawk football program is only halfway complete. If the team stops now, the whole thing will crumble, again.
Kansas State has more than Lockett at wide receiver
— Edited by Alyssa Scott
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN Tyler Lockett is the third member of his family to play wide receiver for Bill Snyder at Kansas State, so the 74-year-old coach knows what the family lineage can bring to an offense.
He also knows the perils of building solely around the All-American wide receiver. Not only has Lockett been prone to injury, it also handcuffs what the Wildcats can do offensively
"I've always said that we want to do what our players are capable of doing." Snyder explained. "We don't have anything set aside saying. 'This is Tyler Lockett, and we can't do this without Tyler Lockett,' or whoever else it may be. If you do that, then you're bouncing around all year and I don't really want to do that."
That's why it doesn't matter whether a wide receiver is running with the first team or the scout team, everybody who lines up for the No.20 Wildcats carries the same expectations.
"I want to acclimate guys to be able to run our offense, run our defense, execute our special teams," Snyder said. "If you're a backup guy, then you
have to step up and do those things."
Besides, Lockett has been prone to hamstring injuries throughout his career, and he sat out all but the first quarter of last weekend's blowout win over Stephen F. Austin as a precaution. Snyder said he expects Lockett to play more on Saturday at Iowa State.
"I've said this before as it relates to Tyler," Snyder said, "he just has to fit into our offense and not put ourselves in a position, whether its him or whoever it happens to be, that all of a sudden our structure becomes very limited in what we're capable of doing. We have to work on all of it with everybody."
Jake Waters doesn't shy away from his desire to have No. 16 on the field. But if the dynamic wide receiver is out for any reason, Waters is also prepared to look in other directions.
Kody Cook hauled in an impressive touchdown catch against the Lumberjacks. Deante Burton flashed a big body and soft hands. Curry Sexton has proven over the last couple of years to be the kind of dependable veteran pass catcher that always seems to flourish at Kansas State.
"A lot of those guys with their
first game experience did awesome," Waters said. "I have all the confidence in the world knowing if they're out there and open, I'm going to try to get the ball to them because I know they're going to make a play."
Most of those wide receivers were passed over by more high-profile schools, as is the case with the majority of players who get on the field at Kansas State. But it may be just that chip on their shoulder that so often allows them to succeed.
Cook is perhaps the perfect example. He was a prep quarterback in Louisburg, Kansas, and then alternated before quarterback and wide receiver at Hutchinson Community College. He redshirted last season at Kansas State, and then stood out in his first true game action last Saturday, out jumping a defender on a 22-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter.
The Wildcats had nine different players catch passes against Stephen F. Austin, including unheralded sophomore Steven West, who also hauled in a touchdown pass.

Kansas seeks back-to-back Invitational titles
MATT CORTE
@Corte UDK
Kansas volleyball will look to continue the momentum it built last weekend, hoping to win a second consecutive tournament at the Denver Invitational Sept. 5-6.
The Jayhawks (2-1) will take on Bradley, Sam Houston State and Denver, so let's take a look at how Kansas squares up with each team.
BRADLEY
The first opponent Kansas faces should be a good warmup match, as Bradley started its 2014 campaign 0-3 with a last-place finish at the DePaule Invitational. The Braves return with four starters from last year, but like the Jayhawks, they lack experience. In fact, Bradley has fewer seniors than Kansas as the Braves only have one senior on the roster. The player to look out for is Bradley's outside hitter, Jessie Tulacka. Tulacka, a junior, was third on the team in kills last season but is now the top option after the two leading hitters graduated.
SAM HOUSTON STATE
The Bearkats (4-0), had a perfect weekend at their own invitational and were taken to five sets only once. Sam Houston State returns with two starters this year. What the jayhawks have in seniors Chelsea Albers and Sara McClinton, the Bearkats have in Deveney Wells-Gibson. The team captain and senior outside hitter led the team in kills last year and just passed the 1,000-career kill mark in the team's previous tournament.
DENVER
Denver University is the only team in this invitational that Kansas played last season, with Kansas taking the match 3-1 in its last non-conference game of the season. After starting 3-0 and winning the Texas-Arlington Invitational to start its season, Denver will now look for revenge against Kansas. Denver has more newcomers this year than Kansas, totaling eight to Kansas' seven, but the team also returns with four starters. Two of them, outside hitters Moni Corrujedo and Nola Basey, were first and third on the team in kills last year, respectfully. If the Jayhawks are to have success against Denver, shutting down both Corrujedo and Basey will be essential.
All of Kansas' games at the Denver Invitational will be aired on ESPN3, starting with Bradley at 5:30 p.m. Friday. The Jayhawks will then play Sam Houston State on Saturday at 11 a.m. and finish with Denver at 8:30 p.m.

Men's golf begins season at Wolverine Intercollegiate
The Kansas men's golf team begins its season this weekend at the 2014 Wolverine Intercollegiate tournament.
The tournament, which will take place on Saturday and Sunday, is hosted by the University of Michigan at its par-71 golf course. Kansas, along with the 10 other participating teams and 11 participating individuals, will play 54 holes over the course of the event.
"I expect that we'll go there and compete. We have four returners that played last year," Coach Jamie Bermel said.
Chase Hanna, Ben Welle and Logan Philley are the most experienced returning players, each having participated in 11 of the team's tournaments last season. Connor Peck and David Auer also have experience from last season, and the team regains Bryce Brown, who redshirted last season but has competed for Kansas in previous years.
Bermel knows how important it is for his team to get off on the right foot.
"It's not like we have a ton of experience, playing one senior and two juniors, but I think it will help the confidence level," Bermel said.
Kansas will submit one player to compete in the individual portion of the tournament, but with a relatively inexperienced group. Bermel wasn't ready to announce who it will be. He says he will decide when the moment arrives.
New lawsuit filed over alleged abuse by Sandusky
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A new accuser has sued Jerry Sandusky, Penn State and a charity the former assistant coach founded, claiming he was sexually abused about six years ago.
The case was filed in Philadelphia last month by Williamsport attorney Bret Southard, whose client was identified only by his initials. The Centre Daily Times reported.
Connor Oberkrom
The lawsuit claims Sandusky
abused the boy during a shopping trip in 2008 or 2009, and after they attended a Penn State game in 2008 against Coastal Carolina University.
The trip would have come around the time law enforcement officials began investigating Sandusky in late 2008, based on a complaint involving a student in central Pennsylvania. They charged him in 2011.
Southard told the newspaper his client represents a new case. The lawsuit seeks $550,000, along with punitive
damages and interest. Penn State previously settled 26 cases for nearly $60 million.
Second Mile official David Woodie said the charity would "engage with them and try just to understand what's there and take it through the legal process." He said The Second Mile now exists only as the owner of real estate that is currently for sale.
The lawsuits describes the boy as a participant in The Second Mile, the charity for at-risk children Sandusky founded, the newspaper reported.
A Penn State spokesman declined to comment, and messages left by The Associated Press for Southard and Sandusky's legal team late Wednesday were not immediately returned.
Sandusky was convicted two years ago of sexual abuse of 10 boys and is serving a lengthy state prison sentence.
The lawsuit said the accuser was among the boys listed as Second Mile participants on a document taken from Sandusky's home during the investigation. Some of the
St. Louis Cardinals beat Pirates 1-0
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Peter Bourjos singled home the winning run in the ninth inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0 Wednesday to stretch their winning streak to five.
Yadier Molina walked with two outs in the ninth on a 3-2 pitch from Mark Melancon (2-4), who had entered an innning earlier. Molina advanced to second on John Jay's single and scored on the hit by Bourjos, easily beating the throw home from center
fielder Andrew McCutchen.
St. Louis moved into sole possession of the NL Central lead for the first time Monday and extended it to 2 1/2 games with a threegame sweep that dropped the Pirates five games back. Pittsburgh has lost 10 of its last 12 road games, dropping to a major league-worst 17-29 away from home in day games.
Trevor Rosenthal (2-6)
pitched a one-hit ninth.
Pinch-hitter Gregory Polanco
drew an 11-pitch walk leading
off the eighth against Carlos Martinez, who retired the next three batters.
St. Louis starter Shelby Miller allowed three hits and three walks in seven innings. The Pirates' Edinson Volquez gave up three hits and two walks in 61-3 innings.
Plate home umpire Ron Kulpa issued a warning to both benches in the fifth inning after Miller threw a high fastball that sailed behind McCutchen. In the fourth, Volquez had hit Matt Holliday and Matt Adams back to back.

Soccer looks ahead to first road trip of season
BEN CARROLL @BCarroll91
After another weekend sweep for Kansas soccer, improving its record to 4-0, the Jayhawks will hit the road for the first time this season. Kansas is led by Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week Liana Salazar, who scored three goals and had one assist last weekend.
Kansas will head west to face one of its former Big 12 foes, University of Colorado, in Boulder on Friday night at 5:30 p.m. Colorado started its season red hot, winning the first three matches, but are coming off of a 1-0 loss against Kent State in the UNLV Nike Invitational in Las Vegas.
The team will stay in the mountains for a match in Denver Sunday at 1 p.m. against the University of Denver. Denver has lost two of its first three matches on the road, and is looking to bounce back this weekend for its first pair of home matches.
Coach Mark Francis knows the tough competition that lies ahead, but admits playing good teams helps their strength of schedule.
"We have to play two very good teams. They were both in the tournament last year," Francis said. "I think it'll be another good test, but I'm sure the kids will step up to the
challenge."
Francis said the first road trip of the season can always raise some problems, but admitted the team has already stepped up, and has faith that it will continue into the weekend.
Salazar, who leads all Big 12 players with 11 points and five goals, said the team just needs to continue to fight.
"I think it'll be another good test,but I'm sure the kids will step up to the challenge."
MARK FRANCIS Kansas soccer coach
[“This] week we play against really good teams,” Salazar said. “We just have to keep going at them and keep winning. That's what we have to do.”
Kansas is making its way up the NCAA rankings, just missing the cutoff to be nationally ranked, receiving 68 votes, according to NCAA.com. If the team can pull off another weekend sweep, Kansas could soon be ranked within the top 25.

COMMENTARY
Smith contract provides stability room for development
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkro
Alex Smith had been publicly clamoring for a contract for a majority of the offseason, and his wish was finally granted.
Smith received a four-year, $68 million contract. After the details were released, it essentially turned out to be a three-year, $27 million dollar contract with two option years on the table for 2017 and 2018. Smith likely will be in a Chiefs uniform for three more seasons barring any serious injuries.
Considering the landscape of lucrative NFL quarterback contracts, the Chiefs got a great deal. They now have leverage to cut ties with the quarterback they traded two second-round picks for, and Smith still has to prove his worth to the Chiefs down the road.
Despite the doubts, Coach Andy Reid knows what he's receiving from Smith and knows what production he's receiving each day.
"He's a winner, a hard worker [and] a good football player," Reid said. "He's the same guy every day. I'm not going to have this up-and-down personality. You're going to have a guy that comes to work. Everybody knows and trusts that he's going to be prepared and ready to go and give it his best out there."
The Chiefs haven't won
a game with a quarterback they've drafted since 1987, when Todd Blackledge beat the Chargers in the opening game of that season. While Smith may not be a Kansas City product, he represents stability that the Chiefs and Smith can nurture and develop.
While Smith's numbers weren't astounding in his first season as a Chief, he played well in the Chiefs' first playoff game since 2010, going 30-of-46 for 378 passing yards and four touchdowns. If the defense didn't notoriously implode, the perception of Smith might be different.
Smith will have less help at his side, however, as he arguably lost three of his best offensive linemen from last season, and will have to count on second-year left tackle Eric Fisher, who struggled last season and in this year's preseason.
The Chiefs saw a quarterback with the intelligence, physical skills and leadership it takes to stabilize a franchise. Now they will see what that amounts to in the next three or four seasons.
Smith was set to become a free agent this offseason, and some argued that the front office should let the season play out and save the negotiations until after seeing a second full season of Smith.
The Chiefs have a chance of long-term success with a competent quarterback/ head coaching combo. With another season under Reid's tutelage, Smith's play should only improve.
However, the Chiefs saw an opportunity to establish four years of structure at the most important position in football While Smith didn't make a definitive statement after last season, he did enough to warrant a long-term deal.

Cozart confident for 2014 season
This is a crucial year for several people within the Kansas football program, especially for Coach Charlie Weis, who enters his third year as head coach with just four wins to his name. Weis will be counted on more this year to call the signals.
DAN HARMSEN
@udk dan
"I think for us to win the football game, not to be better and to be more competitive, but for us to win more football games it starts with the guy with the ball in his hands on every play." Weis said.
That "guy" is sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart.
While he had some success carrying the football, Cozart completed just 23 of his 63 attempted passes and has yet to throw a touchdown. For a quarterback who is known by many, including himself, as a pass-first quarterback, those numbers can seem alarming.
As is the case for many young players, Cozart took some time to adjust to the speed of Division I football as a true freshman last fall.
If Cozart can calm his nerves and let the game come to him, when you factor in his ability to run the football, Kansas could have itself a solid leader of the newly-implemented spread offense.
"I think the biggest thing [for Cozart] is not being nervous." Weis said. "Accuracy is never an issue when you watch him throw in practice. It's what he is going to do when the pressure is on."
"He's been very good," offen
sive coordinator John Reagan said. "Not just by throwing the ball, not just by calling plays and getting us into the right plays but the way he is handling things. He has every right to be where he is with his confidence right now."
If Cozart can beat Kansas basketball players at their own game, just imagine what he can do on the gridiron.
Cozart was named the starting quarterback near the end of spring, so he has had the summer to grow into his leadership role.
"I know I'm not supposed to say this," Cozart said. "but one time we were at the [recreation center], and the football players were playing against the basketball players, and we actually beat them."
Weis said he is cautiously
Time will tell if that confidence translates to the field when it counts. Cozart's first test comes this Saturday as the Jayhawks take on the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks at Memorial Stadium.

The team has yet to take the field, but with last year's game experience under his belt and an offseason of leading the offense. Cozart is primed for a bigger season.
optimistic about his quarterback, and believes the only thing in Cozart's way is, at times, himself.
"I probably made a mistake," Weis said. "I probably should have gone to the brown pants for the past couple of games, but because we played him, we're in a different position now than if we hadn't played him... I'm so glad we did."
"I think that right now he's confident bordering on cocky," Weis said. "And that's a good place to be."

FUNDRAISING IN MILLIONS
KU Endowment

@dontonkingnews
On Tuesday, KU Endowment announced a record-breaking level of fundraising in fiscal year 2014, with private donors raising $253.2 million for the University and the University of Kansas Hospital, 45 percent more than last year's total of $174.2 million.
Gifts given in fiscal year 2014 count toward Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas, which began in July 2008.
"Donors are responding to the University's goals and aspirations," said Dale Seuferling, the president of Endowment. "All of it is an increase that provides new resources for KU to achieve its goals."
Projects made possible by donor gifts in 2014 include seven new professorships, which increase salaries for current professors and create new positions, 91 new scholarships and fellowships, and a number of new facilities, such as Capitol Federal Hall; the DeBruce Center; the Earth, Energy and Environment Center; and the hospital's Cambridge
Seuferling said he credits Endowment's success in part to the emphasis that is put on the long-term process of cultivating relationships with donors.
North Project.
"When alumni give gifts to us they're excited to hear from us. You can just hear their passion for KU."
COOPER CHRISTENSEN Student worker at Endowment
"We are taking the University's needs, aspirations and goals, and we're sharing them with donors in a way that donors are being responsive," Seuferling said. "Donors are saying, 'I believe in this, I want to support this.'"
Student callers who work at Endowment are tasked with contacting alumni for donations, and make it possible for alumni to give back to their alma mater, said Cooper Christensen, a junior from Medicine Lodge.
"When alumni give gifts to us, they're excited to hear from
us," Christensen said. "You can just hear their passion for KU. They're still excited about the University after being away for 10, 20 years."
Christensen said he enjoys connecting with alumni on a personal level, and said he's had a number of memorable conversations with donors that went beyond the topic of the donation itself.
"I've taken a donation from a woman that graduated from KU in the 1940s," Christensen said. "She had no idea when the last time she'd even been to KU was, but she was still just incredibly excited about it. People like that are great to hear from."
Seuferling takes pride in the fact that Endowment's efforts are a crucial part of the University's growth.
"It makes myself and the team at KU Endowment proud of our success and proud that we can provide this level of support for the University," Seuferling said. "Knowing what the University of Kansas is all about, relating that to prospective donors, and making that match."
Teachers, students await OK on Spanish minor

Former student body president Hannah Bolton and former student body vice president Brandon Woodard introduced in 2012 a resolution that would offer a Spanish minor to students on campus. The resolution awaits passage from the Committee on Undergraduate Studies & Advertising.

The University of Kansas is the only institution in both the Kansas Board of Regents and Big 12 that does not offer a Spanish minor. However, Student Senate and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese are working to change that.
The proposed Spanish minor for Fall 2015 is currently set to be heard by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies & Advising [CUSA]. A decision should be made this fall, and if approved, an announcement will be made early next year, said Robert Bayliss, undergraduate studies chair for the department of Spanish and Portuguese.
"I have no idea why the minor wouldn't be approved. I'm really looking forward to it hopefully passing."
MACIE ROHR Freshman from Ellsworth
After many students voiced their desire for a Spanish minor, previous student body president Hannah Bolton and previous vice-president Brandon Woodard researched and met with many groups and administrators before putting an official resolution on the Student Senate floor.

"We started the minor because Hannah Bolton and Brandon Woodard approached me to let the department know how important the issue was to students," said Stuart Day, associate professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese. "This is a
great example of student government in action," Day said.
Bayliss said there's been a student demand for a Spanish minor for as long as he can remember, and he's been with the University for more than 10 years.
"The minor could give students the ability to become linguistically confident and learn more about a different culture without conflicting with their other academic commitments, such as a major would," Bayliss said.
Macie Rohr, a freshman from Ellsworth, is a student who said she would benefit from a Spanish minor.
"I haven't declared a major yet, but no matter what career I choose, I would automatically get a boost in pay for being bilingual, especially in Spanish," Rohr said. "I have no idea why the minor wouldn't be approved. I'm really looking forward to it hopefully passing."
Despite the minor being more condensed than the major, there are plenty of similarities between the two Day said.
The main distinction between the two is the amount of hours required for each. While a Spanish major requires a minimum of 32 hours, the minor would require about 20 hours, depending on what the College Academic Council and the University decide.
"Students minoring in Spanish will have the same great opportunities to study abroad — our programs in Barcelona, Buenos Aires and Salamanca will all offer courses to the minor," Day said.
Day said the department wants to make sure current students have the opportunity
Although the minor has always been an interest among both professors and students, no substantial effort was made to propose the idea — up until about two years ago.

Watkins extends deadline for students to sign up for health insurance plan
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
Due to a change in the United Healthcare Student Resources' health insurance plan mandated by the federal Affordable Care Act, many students missed the deadline to enroll for the insurance plan offered by Watkins Health Center. However, an extended deadline is now being offered.
"The insurance company changed the open enrollment period so that it ended with the first day of school," said Diana
Malott, associate director of Student Health Services. "However, this information did not get out to students before they arrived on campus, making the enrollment period much too tight. Because of this, United has agreed to extend the enrollment period until Sept. 15."
While students may be hesitant to get on a health insurance plan due to the cost, medical expenses are one of the leading factors for students not completing their education, Malott said.
"Health insurance can mean the difference between being successful in college or failing due to an unexpected medical expense," Malott said. "The Kansas Board of Regents determined many years ago that sponsoring a health education plan helps students be successful."
The Kansas Board of Regents has sponsored this student health insurance plan for many years through United Healthcare Student Resources. The student insurance covers routine care at the campus
health centers, inpatient hospital care and coverage anywhere United health insurance is accepted.
The plan's coverage began in August and ends in July 2015, and costs $1,489 for the year or $124 per month, Malott said.
["Our plan's cost] is much less than health plans that can be found on the federal exchanges on the Internet or through many employer groups, and the benefits are equal since our plan is ACA compliant," Malott said. "We've also found it may be significantly less than
parents are paying to keep their students on their health plans."
While the deadline may have been extended, students are asked to act quickly if they want to get on Watkins' health insurance plan.
Students wishing to enroll in the plan should contact the Business Office at Student Health Services, either in person or at 785-864-9520, to request the necessary enrollment paperwork.

Harvard's health school to get record $350M gift
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A $350 million gift pledged to Harvard University's School of Public Health is the largest single donation in the university's long history, officials said, and will help bolster research in several key areas including global pandemics.
The donation, to be formally announced today, comes from a philanthropic foundation established by the family of T.H. Chan, a Hong Kong real estate developer who died in 1986.
In a rarity for Harvard, the school will be renamed the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The only other school within the university to bear an individual's name is the Harvard Kennedy School, named for John F. Kennedy.
"I think he would have been very pleased ... that the school would be part of his legacy," said Dr. Gerald
Julio Frenk, the school's dean, called the $350 million endowment from The Morningside Foundation a "transformational gift," one that will help students and faculty working to stop pandemics such as Ebola, malaria, cancer, obesity, and address global health threats stemming from war, poverty, environmental hazards, and failing health care systems.
Chan, describing his father as a staunch supporter of education who often helped family friends pay for schooling or study abroad.
"We can apply it to the priorities of the moment and those priorities that are likely to evolve because public health is a very dynamic field," Frenk said.
A researcher was already involved in trying to trace the origin of the current Ebola outbreak in western Africa, he said, while another was examining how mobile technology can be used to track Ebola patients.
Proceeds from the gift also will be used to expand student financial aid and provide loan forgiveness to graduates who decide to work in underserved U.S. communities or poor countries. The oldest continuously operating school of public health in the world, it celebrated its centennial anniversary last year.
+
The largest previous single gift to Harvard University was $150 million for financial aid given in February by Kenneth Griffin, founder of the Citadel hedge fund management company.
Billionaire philanthropist Hansjorg Wyss has made a pair of $125 million gifts in recent years to the bioengineering institute.
9/11 museum shows SEAL's shirt from bin Laden raid
The shirt a Navy SEAL wore in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and a special coin given to a CIA officer who played a key role in finding him are being displayed at the Sept. 11 museum, adding potent symbols of the terrorist attacks' aftermath days before their anniversary.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The items are going on view Sunday at the ground zero museum, where leaders see them as an important and moving addition to a collection that often uses personal artifacts to explore the events and impact of 9/11.
"The death of Osama bin Laden is a huge part of the history, and we have an absolute obligation to tell it," said Joe Daniels, National Sept. 11 Memorial Museum president. The display, he said, "allows millions of visitors the chance to recognize the extraordinary bravery of the men and women who sacrifice so much for this country at home and abroad"
The shirt and coin will join
The uniform shirt, tan with camouflage sleeves and an American flag patch on the right shoulder — stars forward to invoke the historical role of a flag-bearer leading a charge into battle — belonged to a now-retired member of SEAL Team Six, which put an end to the long manhunt for the world's most wanted terrorist.

3 disqualified from freshman elections
the Student Senate Court of Appeals met Sunday night to hear a complaint brought forth by a group of freshmen who were disqualified from the freshman elections. The court denied the appeal of the freshmen, who asked to be allowed to participate in the election.
Freshmen who choose to run in the elections, which are held every year at the start of the school year to give the freshman class representation, have to get 25 signatures by members of the freshman class and a stamp from the office of the Dean of their college. This stamp certifies that the student is within that school and a freshman.
Three freshmen who did not get the stamp filed were then disqualified from the upcoming election. The three freshmen — Brandon True, Corbin Painter and McKenzie Ortiz — then filed an appeal against the Elections Commission to the Court of Appeals. The chair of the Court of Appeals, Dylan Fehl, a senior from Hutchinson, said the Elections Commission did not violate any rules and they did everything correctly. Fehl also encouraged the disqualified senators to find a way to be involved on campus, outside of the freshman elections. Only five freshmen remain in the freshman elections, and there are only five freshman Senate spots so everyone on the ballot will receive a spot in Senate.

Women of Distinction calendar honors achievements
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU
On Thursday the 2014-15 KU Women of Distinction were honored before their families, friends and previous winners at the Kansas Union. The calendar with all 27 women featured was also available at the reception.
Welcome to the
KU Women of
Distinction
2014-2015
Calendar Reception
"Women of Distinction are defined as women who are making a difference through their accomplishments, their involvement, their role as a mentor and a role model, and their overall excellence in their careers," said Kathy Rose-Mockry, executive director of the Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, executive director of the Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity, says a few words before the calendar reception for KU Women of Distinction begins. The four women on stage with her are Women of Distinction from previous years. From left to right: Ronda Levaldo (2010), Ann Nzuki (2009), Catherine Bell (2004) and Elise Dickens (2004).
MARIA SANCHF7/KANSAN
The Women of Distinction calendar was created almost 11 years ago after a few women expressed their distaste for the Women of KU calendar's presentation of women in swimsuits.
"Women felt it was demeaning to women and in thinking about it, we felt like there was a better way to portray women, to communicate women from a point of strength to challenge some of the inequities that actually exist for women by using this particular medium," Rose-Mocky said.
Rachel Mae Bullock, a senior from Overland Park, was selected as one of the Women of Distinction this year for her involvement with her sorority Delta Delta Delta and GaDuGi, an organization that offers services for victims of sexual assault.
"The values of friendship, self-sacrifice and truth I hold really close to my heart and those are at the core of [Delta Delta Delta]," Bullock said. "I think just finding an outlet for your passion to be ignited and to have people around you who support you has led me to being in this room."
Another woman of distinction, Cynthia Marta from Rantoul, Ill., graduated from the University last spring and was chosen for her work with disability and accessibility.
"It's probably one of the biggest honors I've ever gotten in my life," Marta said. "It's definitely something I never thought would happen, and I feel really honored to have the Women of Distinction title. I think that it's nice to raise awareness for accessibility and disability-related stuff, which is what I was awarded for with my two co-awarders. So, I'm just really excited to have the awareness for that too. Not even just me but the topic itself."
Although Marta said being selected as a woman of distinction raises awareness for issues the women advocate, Bullock also said the honor of being selected comes with a responsibility.
"I think it means where much is given, much is expected," Bullock said. "So while we're celebrating today, it's a call to action more than anything. If people see you and they know you have a stance on certain global, national issues, it's your job to continue to strive to get your community to
where it needs to be."
Mary Fry, associate professor in the Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Science, and director of the KU Sport and Exercise Psychology Lab, was also selected as one of the Women of Distinction. Fry was selected for her work with physical activity and sports psychology.
Fry said she thinks the Women of Distinction calendar is much more encouraging.
"I think it's a cool thing that [what] Kathy and everyone that's involved in that is doing to just promote a really positive image of women as being strong and being able to make a positive difference in the world in just so many, so many ways." Fry said.
Fry also said the calendar is a testament of women working for change.
"I think when we look around in the U.S., and we
Looking back, Rose-Mockry said the intention was not to create the calendar
look around the globe, there's still a lot of girls and women that don't have equal rights, and they're not in good situations," Fry said. "The calendar is one small way of highlighting women who are trying to make a difference on the front and trying to mentor women and recognize mentors that have been so key in their life."
for this long.
"I don't know that we knew when we began we'd be able to continue doing it year after year," Rose-Mockry said. "But based on the feedback we got and people's belief that this really does matter, it really makes a difference to portray women in empowered ways, we felt it was important to continue."

Topeka police officer shot, killed at routine car stop
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A Topeka police officer was shot and killed Sunday while making a car stop, authorities said.
Shawnee County Sheriff Herman Jones said at a news conference that the officer had stopped a car in east Topeka, and in the middle of the stop the officer was shot. Authorities said the driver then fled.
The sheriff's department said authorities got the call about 4:45 p.m. and responders found the critically wounded officer, who was taken to a hospital. Jones said
the officer was pronounced dead there about 15 minutes later.
Jones identified the officer as Cpl. Jason Harwood, 40, a decorated 15-year veteran who leaves behind a wife and two children. He served in its hit-and-run and canine units before being promoted to corporal in May 2012.
"He loved his job," said interim Police Chief Tony Kirk. "He was a dedicated law enforcement officer. We're going to miss him."
The sheriff's office said a 30-year-old male suspect was taken into custody without incident around 8 p.m. in Lawrence, about 20 miles to the east. Jones said authorities are still investigating whether there were more people in the car.
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt issued a statement calling the officer's death an "unspeakable loss."
The sheriff's office typically investigates killings of Topeka police officers. In December 2012, two Topeka officers were fatally shot as they investigated reported drug activity in the parking lot of a Topeka grocery store. The suspect was later shot and killed after a standoff with authorities.

Dear UDK, thank you.
In the wake of the sexual assault controversy at KU, the chancellor emailed students Thursday afternoon with a request: educate and participate.
Chancellor's response to rape case insensitive
In the news release sent by KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, the topics covered were: educating the community on preventable measures, the confidentiality of sexual assault cases and the measures taken to
conduct investigations.
"We cannot have police officers in every room or at every party, and you wouldn't want us to," read the chancellor's email. "So we also expect you — each one of you — to look out for each other and to be willing to take action when you know something is wrong, or to report to the proper authorities so they can take action."
There were no answers to why the student who raped the girl got away with writing an essay — no expulsion nor community service in the least. But there was a definitive announcement urging students to participate in Sexual Awareness Week and learn what "constitutes consent" scheduled this fall.
The chancellor's insensitivity to the reopened and highly publicized case
via the Huffington Post is baffling.
Highlights point to student responsibility, participation and education, but nowhere in the letter does it mention action to address the victim's concerns. Instead of directing action toward correcting the officer's unprofessional handling of the case, KU leaders handed students a stale letter: an email sent throughout
the student body — KU's core — without reassuring them their safety will be proactively supported. Effort is starkly different from action, which is lacking in the administration.

Chelsea Handler a late-night TV role model
On Aug. 26, I wrapped myself in a blanket, plopped on the
couch and prepared myself for the "Chelsea Lately" finale. As a dedicated Chelsea Handler fan, I was upset to see the show come to a close. Handler is a hilarious, vulgar comedian, and she was also the only female late-night host. The late-night scene has always been dominated by male hosts — Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel. While watching the finale, I wondered who, and if, there would be a replacement for Handler as

the woman of late night.
I found it strange that the only female host on late night had a personality that would seem masculine. If Handler had acted as a more "feminine" host, would she have been as successful?

@madelineumali
For her finale, Handler
pulled out all the chops. She made it clear that Chelsea Lately was going to go out with a bang. The show was flooded with celebrities like Dave Grohl, Gerard Butler, Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez and many more — all there to support Handler's final show. Ellen DeGeneres opened
with a hilarious sketch, while Miley Cyrus and 50 Cent performed. Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock and Mary McCormack hosted a hilarious reverse intervention for Handler, and almost all of her comedic staff made an appearance.
When the show came to an end, I was left thinking about how boring the late-night scene will be without her and her trusty sidekick, Chuy Bravo. I will miss cracking up to Handler's inappropriate and politically incorrect jokes. "Chelsea Lately" was not just popular because she pushed the
boundaries; the show was popular because it featured a strong female character in a male-dominated time slot. Say what you will about how Handler was too rude or provocative for television, but she is a role model for women and proof you don't need to be male to host a late-night talk show.

Arts festival features KU graduate
DELANEY REYBURN
@DelaneyReyburn
Lawrence held its 35th Annual Fall Arts and Crafts Festival in South Park on Sunday. An estimated 6,000 to 8,000 people attended the event this weekend, either showcasing or visiting more than 140 exhibits including arts and crafts vendors, live music, food and activities for children.
"All of the art being displayed is handmade and includes quilts, doll furniture, pottery, jewelry, bags and purses, photography, wood furniture, birdhouses, and much more," said Duane Peterson, the Lawrence Parks and Recreation departments' Special Events supervisor.
KU graduate Jessica Stuever proudly showed off her collection of handmade children's hair bows.
Stuever was born and raised in Lawrence and now lives in Bonner Springs. A proud Jayhawk, Stuever's favorite part about Lawrence has always been Massachusetts Street and the University's beautiful campus. He majored in

applied behavioral science, minored in psychology and became a preschool teacher after graduation.
"This festival really was my first show," Stuever said. "I mainly promote the bows by posting pictures on Facebook along with having the girls in my class wear them."
The festival also included a variety of activities for children, from a moon bounce to a miniature pony ride. For the older crowd, live music was held every few hours. Artists like The Beer Bellies, Lonnie Ray Blues Band, The Good Ole Boys, Sideways Glance, Billy Ebeling, The Late for Dinner Band and The Lawrence City Band performed at the Arts and Crafts Festival.

Colorado town becomes beer commercial set
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CRESTED BUTTE, Colo. — Up for whatever? For some in the tiny and tony Colorado resort town of Crested Butte, that would be a no.
They aren't too thrilled with a virtual takeover by Anheuser-Busch this weekend to film an over-the-top commercial for Bud Light beer and its "Up for Whatever" ad campaign.
Workers on Wednesday install a Welcome to Whatever, USA sign across Elk Avenue, in Crested Butte, Colo. Anheuser-Busch agreed to pay $500,000 to convert the town into a set for a Bud Light commercial. a sequel to the company's "Up for Whatever" Super Bowl ad.
Some didn't take too kindly to the secretive event, arranged between Anheuser-Busch and town leaders. Others embraced it.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The beer giant agreed to pay $500,000 to Crested Butte to paint several blocks of a central street blue. Dozens of workers installed a sand volleyball court, a multistory cowboy boot statue, a gorilla and a director's chair that comfortably seats six people. Some 1,000 revelers were to be flown in for the event — and outsiders were banned for the duration.
For two days, Crested Butte was becoming Whatever, USA. All painted in "Bud Light Blue."
"It's been a very divisive thing in town, for sure," said Shaun Horne, owner of the Oh-be-joyful Gallery. "Some people are not into putting a corporate label on the town."
Further upsetting some: The whole plan was secret until
about two weeks ago. Business owners worried about losing customers over the weekend, and their town's character, even if for only two days.
Crested Butte, population 1,500, is more of a craft beer town, home to art galleries, artists and second-home owners. It can be reached by one paved highway or two dirt roads over mountain passes.
There are no fast food restaurants or chain stores.
Anheuser-Busch scrambled to build support for "Whatever."
"There was a level of fear around the uncertainty of what we were trying to do, and we completely understand that," company spokesman Nick Kelly said. "We worked closely with the town, and we

also worked closely with a lot of individuals on a one-to-one basis to make sure we can answer those questions and concerns."
A steady stream of residents lined up Thursday to get a bracelet to join the party. Several noted that Crested Butte has hosted the Winter X Games and survived.
"It's a once in a lifetime thing. The community is everything you would want for a party town," said Christine Lyerly, a part-time resident.
And as for Bud Light Blue, "it's not an actual color like

Joan Rivers remembered at star-studded funeral Sunday
MARY JULIEN KEATON
Melissa Rivers and her son Cooper Endicott walk to a waiting car after the funeral service for comedian Joan Rivers at Temple Emanu-El in New York on Sunday. Rivers died Thursday at 81.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Howard Stern delivered the eulogy, Broadway singer-actress Audra McDonald sang "Smile" and bagpipers played "New York, New York" at Joan Rivers' funeral Sunday, a star-studded send-off that like the late comedian herself — brought together the worlds of Hollywood, theater, fashion and media.
At a funeral befitting a superstar, the New York City Gay Men's Chorus sang Broadway hits including "Hey Big Spender" before six-time Tony Award-winner McDonald sang her tribute to Rivers, a champion of theater for decades.
Tributes and reminiscences were delivered by TV anchor Deborah Norville, close friend Margah Stern, columnist Cindy Adams and Rivers' daughter, Melissa, who spoke about how she respected her mother, who died Thursday at 81, and appreciated everyone's support.
A legion of notables turned out to remember Rivers: comedians Kathy Griffin, Rosie O'Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg; E! network "Fashion
Hugh jackman sang "Quiet Please, There's a Lady On Stage" at the end of the memorial, and bagpiper from the New York City Police Department played on the streets as mourners filed out of Temple Emanu-El, many dabbing their eyes.
"She would love this. We've all said this so many times: The one person who would really think this is the greatest thing ever is the lady who it's all about, and she's not here," said Norville afterward, amid the throngs of well-wishers and sound of bagpipes.
Police" colleague and friend Kelly Osbourne; Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick; and celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz.
Theater stars Bernadette Peters, Alan Cumming and Tommy Tune were there. Record producer Clive Davis was, too. Fashion designers Carolina Herrera, Dennis Basso and Michael Kors were in attendance. Stars from TV such as Barbara Walters, Geraldo Rivera, Diane Sawyer, Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb and Andy Cohen. Late night band leader Paul Shaffer. And moguls Barry Diller, Donald Trump and Steve Forbes.
Mourners had lined up outside the Fifth Avenue synagogue and waited for their names to be checked against a list before entering. A crowd of media stood watch behind
"It was uplifting. We were celebrating her life," Basso said.
barriers, and fans from as far away as Australia and England lined the streets.
Actress Susan Claassen, who met Rivers in London in 2008 when both had one-woman shows, came from Tucson, Ariz., to honor her friend. "I always like to say that in a world of knockoffs, Joan was an original," she said.
The comedian detailed in her 2012 book "I Hate Everyone ... Starting With Me" that she hoped for "a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action" and "Hollywood all the way." Instead of a rabbi talking, Rivers asked for "Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents" and "a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing just like Beyonce's." Indeed, her wishes were so important they were printed in the funeral program.
The funeral program also included a page with three classic Rivers' lines printed out:
"Can we talk?" "Who are you wearing?" and "Because I'm a funny person."
Rivers was a trailblazer for all comics, but especially for women. The raspy-voiced blonde with the brash New York accent was a TV talk show host, stage, film and TV actress, fashion critic, and she sold a line of jewelry.
The cause of death is being investigated. Rivers was hospitalized on Aug. 28 after she went into cardiac arrest during a routine procedure at a doctor's office. The New York state health department is investigating the circumstances, and the New York City medical examiner said tests to determine the cause of death were inconclusive.
Her publicist said that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to God's Love, We Deliver; Guide Dogs for the Blind; or Our House.
Oprah's tour kicks off in Atlanta
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Oprah Winfrey and a team of guests on Saturday completed the first stop of an eight-city U.S. tour of "Oprah's The Life You Want Weekend," rocking an Atlanta arena where thousands danced, applauded and sought inspiration for transforming their lives.
women.
Atlanta was the opening city and featured Oprah and such guests as authors Deepak Chopra and Elizabeth Gilbert, inspirational speaker Iyana Vanzant and pastor Rob Bell. A statement released by organizers said the arena tour was intended as a catalyst for a wider movement to engage, encourage and empower
Winfrey spoke about identifying one's life purpose and led exercises on taking actions to reach those goals. At times there were funny reflections on life while other soul-searching moments led to crying as people considered areas in their lives they wished to change.
Thronged by thousands in a mostly female crowd, the Atlanta event that opened Friday was styled as somewhat of an intimate gathering with Oprah. She joked about how friends found it interesting that so many would attend her tour when she can't sing or dance. Her comments drew laughter from the crowd.
Organizers said that the tour
is planning upcoming stops in Auburn Hills, Michigan; Washington, D.C.; Newark, N.J.; Houston; Miami; Seattle and a final date Nov. 15 in San Jose, Calif.
At the end of two days in Atlanta, Oprah teared up as she thanked the audience for trusting that "this was worthy of you spending your hard-earned money to be here" and by telling the audience at the end: "Together we rise."
Dr. Joe Bianco, an emergency room doctor from Isles of Palm, S.C., brought his wife Melissa to the event as a birthday present. He said he thought it touched many and people would be increasingly talking about the tour on social media.

Volleyball wins second consecutive invitational
MATT CORTE
MAIT CORT
@corte_ujk
Kansas volleyball won its second invitational of the year in the second week of its season, defeating Denver in four sets Saturday night to clinch the Pioneer Classic.
The Jayhawks won all three matches — only losing one set in the entire tournament — and improved their season record to 5-1.
Offensively, Kansas was led by senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers, who ended each match with double-digit kills; she was the only player on the team to do so.
Albers was named the Pioneer Classic Most Valuable Player, which was the first MVP honor of her collegiate career.
"It feels great," Albers said. "I think several people in the tournament, let alone our team, deserved it, but it feels like a good accomplishment. So I'm very honored to receive it."
Joining Albers on the All-Tournament team was freshman setter Ainise Havili. Havili has made her second All-Tournament team after doing so last weekend. She set a new career high with 55 assists
against Denver, ending the tournament with 129 overall.
"I'm just a setter, so the only way I can get All-Tournament team is if the rest of the team performs," Havli said. "So I think that shows a lot on their part as well."
After sweeping both Bradley and Sam Houston State, the Jayhawks faced Denver on Saturday night to determine the winner of the invitational.

--and senior Bryce Brown. Peck led the Jayhawks with the best round of the weekend, finishing in a tie for seventh with one under par. He had the third-best single round Sunday with 68 strokes, including six birdies.
"...we stepped up and got a service ace at a key time and got some huge blocks from Chelsea Albers to end it."
Kansas once again started the match in blazing fashion, taking the first set 25-15.
Unlike Bradley and Sam Houston State, Denver did not go down quietly.
RAY BECHARD
Volleyball coach
The Pioneers went point for point with Kansas the next two sets, falling 24-26 in the second set before winning the third set by the same score.
In the fourth set, both teams tried to gain the lead, but the set stayed close throughout.
Down 21-22 and threatened with a dawning fifth set, coach Ray Bechard called a timeout to regroup his squad. The timeout did the trick as the Jayhawks rallied four points straight to win the set 25-22 and win the invitational.

"It's going to be tight in the end," Bechard said. "And we stepped up and got a service ace at a key time and got some huge blocks from Chelsea Albers to end it."
"Ever since I came in as a freshman, I really wanted to make my mark on the Kansas volleyball program," McClinton said. "So I think that would help me leave my thumbprint on the volleyball program. And that's one of the goals, to keep moving up."
Senior outside hitter Sara McClinton had a special moment in the tournament as well, reaching the 1,000-kill milestone during the Jayhawks first match against Bradley.
M103
Now McClinton needs just 118 more kills on the season to move into the top 10 of Kansas career kills list.
Senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers prepares for a new play during Kansas' game against Creighton on Aug. 30. This weekend at the Pioneer Classic tournament in Denver, Albers was named the Most Valuable Player, giving her the first MVP honor of her collegiate career.

Men's golf earns top-3 tourney finish
CONNOR OBERKROM
@coherkro
Kansas men's golf finished in third place in the Wolverine Intercollegiate over the weekend in an 11-team field in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The team didn't finish in the top-three in any tournament last year and was just one stroke away from tying for second, shooting four over par for the tournament and an even-par 281 in the final round on Sunday.
Kansas had three players finish in the top-10 — juniors Connor Peck and Ben Welle
Welle and Brown were in a three-way tie for ninth place, shooting an even par. Brown led the Jayhawks in the individual portion with a score of 213 and even par.
"We played good today,but not quite good enough to finish second," coach Jamie Bermel said. "Connor Peck and Ben Welle played well. Bryce Brown
played as an individual and also played real solid."
"We played good today, but not quite good enough to finish second."
JAMIE BERMEL Men's golf coach
Kansas sat at third place after Saturday's two rounds and sustained its position after Sunday's final round had ended.
The other golfers who
helped pull out a victory included senior Logan Philley, sophomore Chase Hanna and freshman Brock Drogosch.
Philley finished tied for 23rd with a score of 217 (+4), Hanna tied for 32nd shooting 220 (+7) and Drogosch tied for 42nd with a 222 (+9).
Kansas will go on to play in the Ram Masters Invitational in Fort Collins, Colo., on Sept. 16-17. The team finished eighth in the event last season.
"I hope we can tighten up a few things this week before we head to Colorado," Bermel said.

COMMENTARY Kansas football can't handle the lead
By Blair Sheade
@RealBlairSheady
The past couple seasons under coach Charlie Weis. scoring has been
NOT ENOUGH JUICE
After hot start,
Kansas cools off but
holds on for the win
Weis, scoring has been a problem, especially in the first quarter. The pro-style offense that Weis ran wasn't working, and that's why Kansas hired John Reagan as offensive coordinator to run his spread offense.
"One of our biggest point of emphasis was a fast start," Weis said. "Once we got into the second half, it seemed like we didn't have the same juice."
"We have a lot of tired puppies," Weis said.
We can talk about the three touchdowns in the first quarter, but the main focus is the Jayhawks were stomped in the second half 28-3 by a Division 1-AA program.
The change was proven early as the Jayhawks sped out to a 24-0 lead after the first quarter, but proved they can't handle the lead in a 34-28 Kansas win against the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks.
Weis was right. The last time Kansas was up 24-0 on a team was back in 2011 against New Mexico State. Even though Kansas will walk away with the victory against SEMO, this will be its easiest task this season, and things didn't look right in the second half.
Edited by Benjamin Carroll
"We came out great, going up 24-0, but after halftime we came out flat," quarterback Montell Cozart said. "Props to SEMO. They started to pick it up, and you can see they had a lot more emotion than us."
"When's the last time they're up 24-0 in the first quarter?" Weis said. "Sometimes, just like you have a tough time handling failure, sometimes when you have success you get shocked, too."
The Jayhawks must have thought they had the game in the bag because they played like it in the second half. When Weis was asked why the team played poorly in the second half, Weis said he didn't have an answer.
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
Wait, what? Weis basically said the team can't handle winning. This team hasn't seen many wins over the past couple years, but you're trying to tell me none of these players have had success before, and don't know how to handle success? That statement by Weis should mean that these guys are going to have trouble keeping a lead because none of them understand what it takes to be winners. Weis said that winning comes difficult when it doesn't happen much.
"I can tell you my conjecture," Weis said. "My conjecture is they were so ants and anxious to get going, I think they might not be used to success, to be playing on top. Too many times the games are close and all of the sudden it's 24-0 and I don't think you ever stop playing hard and go into a comfort zone, but I think that you're finally feeling good about yourself for a change. So many times you're playing from behind rather than playing ahead, it might have even caught them off guard that things were going so well."

@udk_dan
It was a tale of two halves for the Kansas football team and its sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart on Saturday. The first half was a good one for both; the second-half was a good one for neither.
After cruising to a 24-0 first quarter lead — the most points a Kansas offense has scored in a quarter since the 35 scored in the fourth quarter of a come-from-behind win against Colorado in 2010 — Kansas was outscored 28-10 the rest of the night by visiting Southeast Missouri State.
Although the lead would hold up in a 34-28 victory against the Redhawks, the Jayhawks' second-half performance left a lot to be desired.
Senior linebacker Ben Heeney, who finished the
evening with 11 tackles, was quick to cast the blame for the weak finish away from the team and onto other things.
"The first quarter was a completely different team than it had been," Heeney said. "We came out in the second half with no juice. Half the stadium's empty like it always is. Fans leaving at halftime. There's no juice in the stadium, and I think that's part of it."
In the first half, Cozart's numbers were a sparkly 8-of-11, 103 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. While he would finish the evening with a 67-yard touchdown pass to Tony Pierson and no giveaways, Cozart's completion percentage fell to 57 percent, as he went just 4-of-10 in the second half for 93 yards, and missed senior wide receiver Nick Harwell in the end zone twice on errant
passes.
Harwell took some of the responsibility for the missed opportunities that could have given Kansas a more convincing win over the FCS opponent.
"Those were my fault," Harwell said of the deep passes that grazed his hands. "Bad judgment on my part, thinking I was fast enough to

get it."
Without allowing a single first down through the first 15 minutes on defense, the Jayhawks scored on their first four possessions of the game.
including touchdown passes of 6 and 10 yards from Cozart to Harwell. The duo appeared to be gelling early in the game, but the connection cooled as Harwell finished the night with just four receptions.
"I think that in the second half, it seems like we were a step off on a lot of those throws," coach Charlie Weis said. "They were up on us so much that a lot of those throws ended up being deeper throws instead of short throws and a lot of close reads."
While the second half left a bitter taste in the mouths of many around the Kansas football program, the first half served as a reminder as to why so many Kansas coaches and players praise Cozart's ability. The signal-caller evaded several pass-rushers in the first half and was effective on the speed-option, pitching to running backs Corey Avery
and DeAndre Mann, helping Kansas convert four of its first seven third downs.
"His athleticism will put us in position in the passing game to make plays," Weis said. "Because he bailed out there sometimes and put himself in position where he can go and make the throw."
Kansas did not get the resounding victory it wanted, in large part to the 21 unanswered points it allowed SEMO in the fourth quarter. But, the Jayhawks accomplished their main goal.
"I thought we went out there and did what we needed to do to win," senior offensive lineman Pat Lewandowski said. "I don't think it was a complete game. We came out in the first quarter just playing really good football. Now we just need to do that for a full game."

A pair of early goals in the first half against Denver University on Sunday allowed the Kansas women's soccer team to hang onto its undefeated season. The 2-1 victory against the Pioneers improved the Jayhawks' record to 6-0 — their best start to the season since 2004.
Despite coach Mark Francis claiming the game was a struggle, the Jayhawks came away with a 2-0 win to secure their undefeated season.
"The mentality of this team is very good," Francis said. "Nothing fazes them at all. They're on the same page and want to win."
While Denver started off

With the clock counting down, Denver fought hard to get back into the game, but the Jayhawk defense held fast. Senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud tallied three saves on the afternoon, and by the time the final buzzer sounded, the Pioneers were unable to breach the net.
Williams said the team learned a lot about itself this weekend, in which the team played its first two road games of the season. After two hard-fought games, Williams said leaving Colorado with two wins says a lot about the Jayhawks.
"Our mental toughness is way stronger than it has been in the past." Morgan said. "This team can do some really great things. We all have in the back of our minds a trip to the NCAA tournament at the end of the season."
The Jayhawks will return to Lawrence to take on Cal State Northridge on Friday at 5 p.m.

Now four months into University of Kansas administrators' response to her alleged sexual assault, Ivory is left with one sentiment: "Nobody cares."

Now four months into University of Kansas administrators' response to her alleged sexual assault, Ivory is left with one sentiment: "Nobody cares."
Ivory, a sophomore, filed one of the 17 sexual assault
that the respondent be put on probation, meet with IOA and pay restitution for out-of-pocket therapy expenses. Student Conduct and Community Standards subsequently decided that there had been no violation, and told Ivory so in a meeting on Aug. 18.
She thought her case was closed. She went home and cried.
Now, her case is being reopened against her will for a Formal Hearing Panel conducted by Student Affairs.

Complaint:

VIA STANDARD MAIL AND ELECTRONIC MAIL.
Dear
This is to inform you the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access (IOA) has completed its investigation into the allegation that you were sexually assaulted by Mr. when he engaged in sexual activity with you when you were incapacitated and unable to provide consent.
The University conducted this investigation as an alleged violations of the University of Kansas Sexual Harassment Policy and in accordance with the Discrimination Compliant Revolution Process. The Sexual Harassment Policy may be found at: www.ucsu.edu/policies/IOA/Sexual_Harassment.htm . The

We have found using the preponderance of the evidence standard that it is more likely than not that [blank] assaulted you by kissing and touching you when you were incapacitated and unable to provide knowing and voluntary consent to engage in any sexual activity with him. As a result of this investigation, we have recommended to the Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards that [blank] be placed on probation for a period of six months, that he meet with staff from IOA to discuss the issues of consent and the interplay with alcohol and incapacity and that he be required to pay restitution to you for any out of pocket expenses you may have incurred because of seeing a therapist due to this.

She went in thinking it would get better if she reported to University administration. She thought IOA would communicate with her the way she had requested.
She was wrong.
complaints that the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access (IOA) has investigated so far in 2014.
According to emails and confidential letters to and from Ivory obtained by The University Daily Kansan, as well as interviews with Ivory, she accused the respondent, a male University student, on May 5 of non-consensual oral sex and attempting to penetrate her in November 2013. On June 30, IOA had finished its investigation, issued a conclusion, and recommended sanctions:
She saw the respondent for the first and last time that night. She said she got a text from him the next day with his first name. She said she still doesn't know anything other than his name, which fraternity he's in and the major listed on his Facebook profile.
"I think he was like 6-4, 6-5, over 200 pounds," she said. "A really large person to try to fight off"
It started at a bar in November 2013, the fall of her freshman year.
She said when his fraternity's designated driver picked them up as the bar was about to close, she thought they were going to take her to her home, not to spend the night at his fraternity.
That wasn't my pain, she said. Her memory of the night is choppy. She said he took her clothes off at his
"That wasn't my plan," she said.
fraternity. She said she felt uncomfortable, said no, tried to get him to stop and told him repeatedly that she wanted to go home.
"There was no point in the evening where I wanted to engage with this person sexually," she said. "None. And at every single point I made it clear that I was uncomfortable and that I did not want this to happen."
The respondent did not return The Kansan's voicemails.
The Kansan was not able to obtain the full IOA investigative report, which would include witness testimony of that night. Ivory signed a notarized Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act student records information release to allow the University to release records and information related to her sexual assault complaint to The Kansan reporter on Sept. 8. According to the University's Director of News and Media Relations Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, no records will be released until after her case review is completed, after the scheduled formal hearing, to avoid influencing those involved in the case, including witnesses and panel members. She said Ivory and the respondent have rights to review records that will be presented at the hearing.
After that night, Ivory said she didn't initially know that she could report what had happened and didn't know where or how to report it in the University. She had also heard news stories of nothing happening to alleged rapists when other people reported alleged sexual assaults and she did not want to go through that experience. The next day, and for months afterward, she tried to ignore that anything had happened.
"I didn't know what else to do," she said. "And I didn't think that anyone would help me."
In April, she finally told someone.
Her friend Amanda Schulze, then a senior from Wichita, knew how to report to IOA and what the University could do because she served on the Title IX Sexual Assault Training subcommittee. She told Ivory that there was a process
that could be effective.
If she didn't say anything, nobody would ever know what she said the respondent had done. That's what convinced her to report to the University.
"I wanted to feel like campus could be safe for other people and I felt like this person was dangerous," Ivory said.
After class on May 5, Ivory reported the alleged assault. With Schulze at her side, she sat down in IOA Investigator Jennifer Brooks' office in Carruth-O'Leary Hall.
According to IOA procedure as well as Ivory and Schulze's accounts, Brooks took notes as she had Ivory walk through the events of that night. IOA investigators follow a checklist, making sure investigators explain how IOA handles cases and giving complainants a list of resources.
On that checklist is "correspondence regarding investigation."
IOA normally sends all official documents by both standard mail to the complainant's listed address and by email to the complainant's @ku.edu email address. Ivory lived in the dorms as a freshman. Over the summer, her mail would be forwarded to her family's house.
Ivory hadn't — and still hasn't — told her family about her alleged sexual assault.
"I was very,very private about the whole thing," she said. "And I was hurting a lot."
According to procedure and accounts, Brooks asked if Ivory wanted both letters and emails. Ivory said to not send letters to her family house. She said to only email her.
"It was reiterated multiple times that she did not want anything sent to her home." Schulz said.
Ivory said she saw Brooks write down a note to only email and not mail and assured her that she would not be sent any mail to her parents' home. Schulze also said Brooks said everything would be emailed and not mailed.
The mail came to her family's house anyway.
Confidential PDFs obtained by The Kansan are all labeled as sent via standard mail and email: a summary of the May 5 meeting saying IOA would investigate, a copy of the notification of investigation addressed to the respondent, a directive that he not contact Ivory, and IOA's conclusion and sanction recommendations.
Ivory said she received the letters in two bundles, the first in the middle of June and the second at the end of June. She said they looked like any other official KU letters, which startled her. She opened them before her family saw them.
"My dad, very easily, with no bad intention, would have seen that and thought it was a bill or something," she said.
Ivory felt exposed. But she didn't contact IOA to make sure no more letters came. She said she was busy, she didn't know who to contact and she didn't think IOA would fix it.
Barcomb-Peterson said Jane McQueeny, IOA executive director, would not be able to comment on Ivory's case until after the scheduled hearing.
Ivory said no one from IOA was checking up with her and she didn't understand what she could ask.
On June 30, IOA sent its conclusion. IOA found that it is "more likely than not that [the respondent] assaulted [Ivory] by kissing and touching [her] when [she was] incapacitated and unable to provide knowing and voluntary consent to engage in any sexual activity with him."
"If somebody is incapacitated, then they're not able to consent to any sexual activity." Brooks said speaking in general during a Sept. 5 interview with The Kansan.
IOA's conclusion did not address Ivory's accounts that these sexual actions happened when she said no.
IOA recommended the respondent be put on probation without specifying

what probation would entail — for six months, that he meet with IOA staff to discuss alcohol and consent and that he pay restitution to Ivory for any out-of-pocket therapy expense related to the case. The June 30 letter said the Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards, Nick Kehrwald, would be in touch to discuss IOA's recommendations.
On July 9, Kehrwald emailed Ivory saying he had received IOA's report and wanted to discuss the findings and recommendations with her.
Ivory responded to Kehrwald's email on July 15 with complaints about the IOA investigation: that "kissing and touching" while she was drunk is not as serious a charge as her alleged non-consensual oral sex, that the recommended sanctions were not serious, and that IOA had handled the case inattentively by sending letters to her parents' house after she requested to only be sent emails.
"I will always be proud to be a Jayhawk, but I am deeply disappointed in your department's clear lack of concern for the safety of other women on this campus by allowing [the respondent] to disappear into university life without poignant consequences for his actions," she wrote.
Kehrwald responded to her email on July 18 by saying Student Conduct and Community Standards is an office in Student Affairs and had not been involved in IOA's investigation.
"That is the sole responsibility of IOA," he wrote.
Ivory never brought those complaints directly to IOA.
She said she had wanted the respondent at least suspended for a semester. She was disappointed. But, moving forward, she assumed the respondent would have to pay for the out-of-pocket expenses for therapy. She set up an appointment with a recommended therapist in Lawrence who wasn't on her insurance plan.
Ivory emailed Kehrwald with the therapist's name, contact number and how much each session would cost. At the time, she thought that it was Kehrwald's job to enforce the sanctions that IOA recommended.
According to standard procedure, when an alleged violation of student conduct is reported, a conduct officer from Student Conduct and Community Standards reviews IOA's investigation and decides if a violation occurred and what sanctions should be enforced.
On the morning of Aug. 18, Ivory met with Kehrwald in his office.
Kehrwald concluded that the facts as documented did not support a violation of the University's sexual arassment policy, as later summarized in a Student Affairs notice dated Sept. 5. That notice addressed to Ivory says, "While you were incapacitated at the time of the incident there were not enough behavioral indicators to where the accused student knew or reasonably should have known of your incapacitation."
According to that document, IOA's report says that the respondent did not see Ivory drinking, that she was not slurring her speech, had no difficulty walking outside of the bar, that they made small talk in the car and that she showed no difficulties walking into the fraternity. It said that the first signs that Ivory was drunk are made by another witness that she was swaying, appeared glossed over and getting drunker as time passed "after the incident in question."
She said Kehrwald told her no sanctions would be imposed. Even though IOA's investigation had found the respondent had more likely than not engaged in non-consensual contact with her, she said she was told he would not be punished.
Barcomb-Peterson said Kehrwald, Student Conduct and Community Standards director, would not be able to comment on Ivory's case until after the hearing.
Ivory said Kehrwald asked if she wanted to see her full IOA investigative report then. According to Brooks, these reports contain any evidence collected, including witness interviews, IOA's analysis and the recommended sanctions.
to her.
Ivory said no, she wasn't ready to read the report in Kehrwald's office with him at that Aug. 18 meeting. She said Kehrwald asked if she wanted him to email it
Ivory said Kehrwald gave her one other option at the Aug. 18 meeting. If she wanted, she could appeal his decision to a three-person panel. She said she has never requested or agreed to such a hearing.
She was emotionally exhausted. She had hoped the respondent would be punished by the University. IOA had concluded that he committed a violation, and now she was being told by Student Conduct and Community Standards that he had not. She didn't want to appeal. She wanted to go home.
"The last thing I wanted to do was to continue with the University," she said.
--could take."
"They didn't care until now. How little they care is just becoming so apparent."
IVORY Sophomore
After reading about the light sanctions proposed by an appeals panel in another student's rape case reported in the Huffington Post on Sept. 2, she said she's glad she didn't appeal.
"Apparently the people on the panel think that community service is too punitive, so what do you think they would have told me?" she said. "That guy admitted that he raped that girl. What do you think they would have told me?"
She said she thanked Kehrwald for his time, left his office without asking further questions, lay in bed and cried. She said no one followed up with her and Kehrwald never sent her the formal report, despite his offer to do so.
"That meeting killed an investigation of sexual assault and killed a sanction for sexual assault that was supposed to happen," she said. "And they didn't even bother to put it in writing and send it to me or give me if I needed anything or give me a list of steps that I
She found a therapist in her insurance plan instead. She thought that was the end of the University's action.
At 9:32 a.m. on Sept. 5, Ivory sent an email to Jennifer Brooks asking for a copy of the IOA investigative report that Kehrwald did not send her. While she said she wasn't emotionally ready to read it herself, she agreed to give it to The Kansan.
At 9:53 a.m. on Sept. 5, she got an email from someone new.
Joshua Jones, the Student Conduct and Community Standards coordinator who works under Kehrwald, wrote to Ivory that a Formal Hearing Panel of her case had been scheduled for Friday, Sept. 19. A panel of three — a School of Education administrator, an officer manager in the School of Engineering and a student — is scheduled to decide if the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities was violated and if sanctions, including possible suspension or expulsion, are warranted.
Jones' email says the hearing was scheduled under section VI.C.3 of the Student Non-Academic Conduct Procedures. Section VI.C.3 says an accused student will meet before a Formal Hearing Panel when expulsion or suspension is a likely sanction, and that accused student disputes facts. Ivory said Kehrwald's decision was that the respondent faced no sanctions. IOA's recommended sanctions never included expulsion or suspension.
Tammara Durham, vice provost for Student Affairs, wrote in an email statement, "When a case involves sexual assault, if a complaining party requests that the respondent student be suspended or expelled, Student Affairs will take the matter to a Formal Hearing Panel."
Barcomb-Peterson said Joshua Jones would not be able to comment on Ivory's case until after the scheduled hearing.
Ivory said she doesn't want this hearing to happen. She
said she was not asked if she wanted the hearing to happen. She and the respondent have the right to attend and participate.
"I can't," she said. "I can't do it. I can't be in the room with him again and have to talk about this all over again in front of complete strangers."
She has a class when the hearing is scheduled. Jones' email acknowledges this but says the chosen time is the earliest possible date given the availability of the hearing panel. Durham wrote in a statement that Student Affairs works with students to secure an excused absence and "ensure the student is able to obtain information from the missed class session so that the student is not prejudiced by the scheduling of the hearing."
The formal hearing notice uses phrasing such as "your consumption of alcohol (tequila)," "while at The layhawk Café ('The Hawk')", and "displayed unusual behavior" in recounting the grounds for IOA's conclusion that Ivory was incapacitated.
Jones' email says that he will be bringing the case to the hearing panel on her behalf so Ivory is not required to attend the hearing. She hasn't decided if she will.
Ivory decided to speak out to start a conversation and get University policy and the structure of Student Conduct and Community Standards changed. She said the Huffington Post report and the scrutiny that the University's sexual assault policies have come under since made her realize she isn't alone in being unhappy with how her sexual assault complaint was handled.
"They didn't care until now," she said. "How little they care is just becoming so apparent."

Jayhawks Dream aims to educate juveniles
JACKSON STATE UNIVERSITY

Founders of Jayhawks Dream, from left: Jolene Gilkey, Jaime Hay, Alex Kinkead, Grace Jones and Courtney Huffman.
A new student organization has sprung up at the University of Kansas. Jayhawks Dream, founded by six University students, aims to help educate youth living within state juvenile correctional facilities.
The founders of the organization said they decided to create it after they took an alternative break service trip to Ohio to see the Department of Youth Services.
"We met the Director for Social Change at the Ohio State University, who runs a program called Buckeye Reach. She works on literacy development with college students," said Alex Kinkead, a junior from Omaha, Neb., and president of Jayhawks Dream. "We're focusing on different aspects of literacy. Taking the ideas we saw from Ohio and adding a Jayhawk twist."
Jaime Hay, a sophomore from Lenexa, and vice president of development, elaborated on what Jayhawks Dream does.
"We'll be going into facilities and working with incarcerated youth and building relationships with them and being mentors to show them what it's like to be in college, and be a role model for them, as well as teaching them basic literacy skills." Hay said.
Some of the founders soon realized the experience was more personal than they thought.
"It's not just us going in to help them," said Courtney Huffman, a junior from Lawrence, and vice president of external affairs for Jayhawks Dream. "We all gained a huge new perspective. We're hoping
to gain just as much from it as who we'll be working with."
"Jayhawks Dream" is more than just a clever name. Grace Jones, a senior from Chicago and vice president of membership, said the name was partly inspired by Buckeye Reach. The Dream part of the name stands for "Developing Relationships through Education and Mentorship."
"We're focusing on different aspects of literacy. Taking the ideas we saw from Ohio and adding a Jayhawk twist."
ALEX KINKEAD
President of Jayhawks Dream
Jolene Gilkey, a senior from Wichita and vice president of internal affairs, helped explain why the youth in juvenile correctional institutions need the help of college students.
"Due to the environment
that some of these juveniles grew up in, they don't have the same opportunities as us," Gilkey said. "They go to school where they don't have the same opportunities as other students, so they aren't doing as well. They're not being taught the importance of education or the difference between right and wrong."
Gilkey said it was important for students to be role models for the incarcerated youth, so they can go to school and succeed.
Kinlead said he hopes this organization lives on well after he graduates, and that younger freshmen and sophomores will join the program.
The sixth founding member, Drew Carlburg, a senior from Fredonia, was not present at the interview.
"This connection is going to be great for KU," he said.

City reacts to response from unauthorized tweet

@daltonkingnews
The City of Lawrence Twitter account, @lawrenceks, is responding to a message tweeted at 9:15 p.m. on Sept. 6.
The tweet has sparked controversy among the account's followers, with Twitter users responding negatively after reading it as victim-blaming.
"#KU_Football lwomen reminder to trust your instincts and avoid being a victim @ lawrencefire and @RAINN" read the tweet.
"The tweet was unauthorized," said Megan Gilliland, the communications manager for the City of Lawrence. "It wasn't tweeted from our office, and we're looking into the matter."
Gilliland said the passwords to the account are being
changed and the office would be looking into the security of its online accounts.
Sara Anderson, a senior from Lindsborg, said it was inappropriate because it placed blame on women, who are the largest demographic of sexual assault survivors.
"It wasn't tweeted from our office, and we're looking into the matter."
MEGAN GILLILAND Communications manager for City of Lawrence
"The tweet also completely ignores the men and gender queer survivors of sexual assault," Anderson said. "The tweet also fails to address the
larger issue — we tell women to trust their instincts, yet we don't tell the perpetrators of these crimes to stop sexually assaulting people."
On Monday morning, the City of Lawrence Twitter account began responding to users who had responded to the original tweet. The tweet has since been deleted.
"The City of Lawrence did not authorize this tweet and it was not made by an employee. We are looking into the matter," the response tweet read.
The message was repeated to all users who had responded to the original tweet.

University student hit by car near Allen Fieldhouse now at KU Hospital
A student who was struck by a vehicle Saturday afternoon in front of Allen Fieldhouse has been identified as Joshua Wepking, a senior from Lansing. He is in serious condition, said Captain Anguiano of the KU Public Safety Office.

Officers inspect the vehicle that hit a student Saturday afternoon.
Wepking was airlifted to the KU Medical Center after Public Safety Officers arrived at the scene, and then was transferred to KU Hospital.
Sgt. John Dietz of the Public Safety Office said University police were dispatched at 2:47 p.m. to the 1500 block of Irving Hill Road, where the accident occurred.
Wepking was alert and conscious as he was airlifted to KU Medical Center, Dietz said.
After the accident, Wepking seemed to be in good spirits as he reached out to his followers on Twitter.
"Man, I feel like I just got hit by a car. #nailedit," said Wepking in a
tweet on Sunday morning.
KU Medical Center confirmed that Wepking is at the hospital, but could not disclose his exact condition at this time.
According to Dietz, the case is still under investigation.

Campuses can't push sexual assault aside any longer
As a concerned student I am writing to all Jayhawks past, present and future. I am lucky I have not been sexually assaulted in my three years at our University, but I have been in situations where I could have been. Because of this, I understand the fear and shame women feel, just like the unnamed sophomore who rallied us together against the University's mishandling of an admitted rapist.
College campuses are too
who violently forced himself on you are both rape. As a community we need to take responsibility for this culture and change it. I'm sure we've all been to parties where someone has clearly gone beyond their limits with alcohol, but is that person always pulled aside and asked to leave? No. Not even when it's your friend, roommate, sorority sister or fraternity brother. It's hard to manage a situation like that, but we should be taught how to intervene as bystanders
permissive toward sex and alcohol — administrators deny that it's a problem on their campus while students accept the culture as if there's no problem. Clearly, entities like IOA get lost in trying to make a distinction between "non-consensual sex" and rape, yet there is no difference. The circumstances of a rape should not change how one is punished.
Regardless if alcohol was involved, rape is rape. A friend who took advantage of your trust or a stranger
to prevent problems before they arise.
The University should take responsibility for training all Jayhawks on how to handle these situations. First, we must have an open dialogue from which to start finding solutions. Tonight's forum at the ECM is your chance to share your stories and listen to others so we can all see this as not a "women's problem," or a problem that's representative of "a small minority of the
KU population." It's a nationwide problem, and we could be the university to lead the change.
A friendly reminder to KU administration: This forum is not for you to save face in front of students and media. We're watching and we won't let you brush this aside like you did last October.

Voters should stay away from bandwagon during elections
Being an out-of-state student, the upcoming governor'
upcoming governors' race doesn't mean as much to me as it probably does for a Kansan, but that doesn't mean that it isn't turning out to be an interesting race.
Kansas seems to teeter-totter when it comes to who should be governor. According to the Kansas Historical Society, no two candidates from the same party have held the governorship in consecutive terms since the 1960s. The only exception was Mark Parkinson, a former Republican-turned-Democrat, to replace Kathleen Sebelius in 2009. Looking at recent polls, this trend is set to continue for the foreseeable future. Candidate Paul Davis currently leads Brownback by 8-10 points, suggesting Davis may be the next governor, but is he really the best choice for Kansas?
By Adam Timmerman
@AdamTweets4You
best choice for Kansas Though many Kansans look unfavorably toward Brownback, his campaign has highlighted several positive aspects of his agenda, most of them within the past few weeks. The Wall Street Journal reports that over the last four years, Kansas has increased its per-pupil spending,has seen a 2 percent annual increase in education spending and a 10 percent increase
in teacher pensions. The state's private industry has also grown substantially, with approximately 55,000 jobs added since 2011. Although Kansas' private-sector growth has been below the national average during most of Brownback's term, this past year has seen Kansas match the national growth rate in private industry. As a result, Kansas' unemployment rate has decreased substantially while Brownback has been in office. If elected to a second term, Brownback has pledged to add 25,000 new private-sector jobs per year over the next four years.
Despite Brownback's promises for increased funding for schools and increased job growth, Kansas has had its fair share of controversy under its current governor. The question I pose to you is: Do Brownback's successes, most of them recent, justify another term? Or has his overall performance since taking office in 2011 been so negative that you're willing to elect Paul Davis, a
newcomer that no one really knows anything about? It should be noted that this past week, Davis has refused to answer definitively how he plans on solving issues like education, instead responding generically.
Alternating between parties and ideologies will never help Kansas settle in and create a definitive path to achieve the state's goals. Unless you truly believe that he has what it takes to lead Kansas and put it onto a consistent path for success, you should not vote for Davis. Never vote against someone just because it seems like the popular thing to do.
Take the time to read the facts and look at Davis' voting record. Before you choose your favorite, find factual evidence on which candidates will benefit you. Wait for a debate to see how either Davis or Brownback plans on making Kansas better. Voting isn't supposed to be an emotionally driven act. Brownback may have weaknesses, but at least Kansans know what to expect with him in office. Little known or unqualified candidates who step into positions of power often don't work out like they're predicted to.

Shark Week provides questionable content
@KansanOpinion of course! What's the point of voting if I don't know who and what I'm voting for?
However, Discovery Channel did not seem to have the same guilty conscience in its programming of Shark Week. With titles like "Great White Serial Killer" and "Jaws Strike Back," sharks are depicted as killing machines rather than a vital, threatened part of our ecosystem.
The "Jaws" theme song is well known all around the world, whether you've seen the film or not. Sadly, the fear that accompanies the movie has also become the status quo for real-life encounters with sharks. According to National Geographic Shark Attack Facts, "For every human killed by a shark, humans kill approximately two million sharks."
@BWeezy42
I will do this for you. I will do it
Discovery Channel also had no shame in airing false, dramatized evidence in its programming about the gigantic (extinct) creature known as Megalodon. Megalodon was a shark that, as Charles Choi reports for livescience.com, was "at least 30 times as heavy as the largest of its living relatives, the great white shark."
Peter Benchley, author and co-writer for the screenplay of "Jaws," regretted the backlash from the novel and movie on human attitudes toward sharks. Serving as an avid conservationist for the latter part of his life, Benchley said, "Knowing what I know now, I could never write that book today. Sharks don't target human beings, and they certainly don't hold grudges."
Receiving backlash in response to their piece portraying a living Megalodon in the previous year, Shark Week Executive Producer Michael Sorenson said, "It's one of the most debated shark discussions of all time, can Megalodon exist today? It's Ultimate Shark Week fantasy. The stories have been out there for years and with

95 percent of the ocean unexplored, who really knows?"
The thing is, scientists really do know. Robert Boessencker, a paleontologist at the University of Otago, disagrees with myths of a surviving Megalodon.
"No credible records of Pleistocene (or Holocene) C. megalodon exist anywhere," Boessenecker said. "And if we cannot even prove that a giant shark survived past 2 to 3 million years ago, the case for C. megalodon survival is hopelessly poor."
Based on its established reputation, Discovery Channel has the responsibility to educate the public on nature and reality. Shark Week has fostered interest in sharks since 1988 and has created shark stewards throughout the years. However, the new trend of reporting false science and exaggerating the violence of sharks is unacceptable and detrimental to society and sharks alike.
Follow us on Twitter @KansanOpinion. Tweet us your opinions, and we just might publish them.

Boissenecker also points out that Discovery Channel must've known they were "being intentionally misleading, or being hopelessly naive in thinking the public will be able to separate fact from fiction. ..." I saw this effect firsthand as a camp counselor at an aquarium over the summer. The week after Shark Week, almost every camper was convinced of a living Megalodon and took the programming as a fact.

Speakeasy opens in downtown Lawrence
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@MarissaUDK
Lawrence's newest business has an official address—7 E. Seventh St.—but you won't find it on Google maps. The restaurant and bar is also a speakeasy, appropriately named John Brown's Underground. Brain power and personal intuition serve as prerequisites to setting foot in the front door.
The search for John Brown's Underground, a place for "cocktails, food and freedom," is made more difficult with no indication of the restaurant in sight, aside from a black awning atop the stairs that leads to the restaurant.
The location was strategically placed underground, creating a sense of discovery for any patron that finds it. Owner Scott Elliot would not have it any other way.
"It (is) true speakeasy fashion to put a bar where a bar was not supposed to be," Elliot said.
Along with no sign, you will not be able to find John Brown's Underground on the Internet or in any advertisement. Elliot said the restaurant is going old school.
Eliot's goal is for customers to receive a personal invitation. In the digital age, this unique concept might seem foreign and outdated.
"100 percent word of mouth," he said.
Students seem more intrigued by the retro restaurant. Hannah Hall, a senior from Lawrence, said she thinks it would be an interesting experience and sounds like a unique addition to Lawrence because no place like it currently exists.
However, Tim Bengtson, a professor of journalism at the University, does not see the appeal or the magic in this old-fashioned concept, but admits it is sometimes strategic in business to go left when everyone else goes right.
Elliot said he found inspiration through traveling across the United States. His inspiration for John Brown's Underground came from
restaurants such as East Side Showroom in Austin, Texas, Raines Law Room in New York City and Manifesto in Kansas City, Mo. He said no place is more accepting than Lawrence.
"When America was growing and budding, food was not chemicals. Everything was authentic," he said.
This authenticity is reflected in the restaurant's food, drinks and service. All ingredients are grown from the restaurant's garden and every drink is hand crafted by the bartender. The drink menu features unique cocktails such as Pimm's Cup, The Abbey, Rob Roy, Mint Julep, Sazerac and a Prohibition punch.
"It was beautiful. It was very moorish."
Lawrence's new speakeasy. John Brown's Underground, has no signs and advertises only by word of mouth.
PAUL SCOTT French professor
"It was beautiful. It was very moorish," Scott said. "Moorish is a British expression meaning something you crave and want more of it. It's kind of addictive, so you call it moorish."
Paul Scott, a professor of French at the University, chose a Pisco Sour, which is made of pisco, lime and egg whites. A Pisco Sour is a drink commonly found in Chile or Venezuela, Scott said. He has also tried the daily special, a Pistachio Cello, an inspired twist on the classic Limoncello.
The restaurant opened two weeks ago, and has doubled its sales during the second week, Elliot said.

Dark comedy focuses on music, mental illness
FIRST TIME TO BINGE WITH THE MASKED CHARACTER. IT IS A NEW FILM BY THE CANNON STUDIO. IT IS ALSO A PRODUCTION BY BERNIE GROSSMAN, JOHN RUBERTS AND LISA DICKENS.
By Alex Lamb
@lambcannon
Dark indie comedy "Frank" offers one of the funniest, most articulate examinations of weird music-makers in film — the pretentious sort who have a strange creative process, a unique image/brand and a sound that straddles the line between artistic achievement and noise. Here, it centers on a mysterious musician wearing a giant fake head. But underneath the eccentric humor, it also effectively tackles the theme of mental illness and the toll it can take on artists.
MAGNOLIA PICTURES
After the keyboardist of avant-garde band "The Soronprfbis" tries to drown himself, manager Don (Scoot McNairy) recruits unassuming Jon (Domhnall Gleeson) to fill the spot. Jon works a boring job and tries composing pop tunes in his free time they're all crap), yet he eagerly jumps on the opportunity, only to find himself moving to an isolated cabin with the extremely odd band members to work on their new album.
The frontman, Frank (Michael Fassbender), proves to be a musical mad genius. He is uncommonly kind, employs unusual methods and is overflowing with creative talent, although he wears a big fat papier-mache head at all times. Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal) plays
the theremin, always seems angry and despises Jon from the start, while Don used to have sex with mannequins instead of real women, and the drummer (François Civil) and guitarist (Carla Azar) only speak French.
Fresh-faced Jon doesn't fit in well, although he does build a following for "The Soronprfs" with his blog and social media posts. The tremendously clever first half explores the idiosyncrasies of the group to hysterical effect, particularly during montages with his blog writing voiced over footage of ambient noise collection, aggressive team-building exercises, physical fights between members and more.
The music practices are comical at first, sounding like
cacophonous noises clashing together. But when we see them performing in earnest, their music echoes the atmospheric and lyrical complexity of something like a fuzzier, more out-there Pink Floyd with flavors of The Flaming Lips.
Fassbender happens to have a commanding singing voice that drives the grandiose sound, although in his quieter, sillier songs he exhibits a wonderful buoyancy. Frank himself also surprises, seeming like a total enigma at first but revealing his soft, open and supremely enthusiastic persona behind the huge painted face.
The second half takes "The Soronprfs" to the Austin music festival South by Southwest, where Jon finally
feels like he fits in but the others do not. In an attempt to be more accessible, Frank creates his "most likable song ever," a hilarious, ridiculous, speedy pop tune. It poignantly becomes clear how fragile and troubled a soul the gentle Frank is as he begins cracking under the pressure, while the mental illness aspect of the story, handled with little seriousness previously, suddenly plucks at the heartstrings and makes a worthwhile statement.
Fassbender has quickly established himself as one of the best working dramatic actors over the past five years, which makes this darkly comic performance wildly different from anything he's done before, a sublime joy. The transformation of Gleeson as
the everyman throughout the film gives viewers a relatable point of reference among such strange characters and eventually more sympathy with those outsiders than with him.
Despite being a bit bizarre, "Frank" is the kind of special treat that rarely comes around but should be cherished when it does. It's an extraordinary dark comedy that features not only a talented performer outside of his comfort zone, but also has something to say and delivers in an original way with a distinct voice. And for anyone who's ever been a part of a band led by one main creative individual, this nails that dynamic so spot-on it's a must-see.

KING GEORGE VI AND KATE MARY PEARCE WITH THEIR CHILDREN
To mark Prince George's first birthday, Britain's Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, took the Prince to the Sensational Butteries exhibition at the Natural History Museum in London. The Duchess of Cambridge, wife of Prince William, is expecting her second child, royal officials said yesterday.

Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge expecting child
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Prince George is not going to be an only child for long — the toddler will soon have a baby sister or brother to share his fancy digs at Kensington Palace.
British royal officials said Monday that Prince William and the duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton, are expecting their second child.
Once again, Kate is being treated for acute morning sickness in the early phases of her pregnancy. The first time she was so ill she required hospitalization.
Now she is being treated by doctors at her residence in Kensington Palace. She canceled a planned engagement in Oxford to rest and receive medical care.
Prince William told well
wishers in Oxford that Kate should be over the worst of her symptoms in a few weeks. He repeatedly thanked people for congratulating him and said Kate was disappointed she could not travel.
"She wishes she could be here," he said.
"She's feeling okay, thanks. It's been a tricky few days — week or so — but obviously we're basically thrilled, it's great news, and early days. We're hoping things settle down and she feels a bit better."
The new baby, boy or girl, will become fourth in line to the throne, pushing Prince Harry to fifth. George, who is 13 months old, is third and likely to become Britain's monarch one day. William is second in line, while his father, Prince Charles, is first.
before George's birth so that the couple's first born would be in line for the throne regardless of its sex. Before the change, a girl would have lost her place in line if a boy was born later.
Britain had changed its laws
William and Kate have often expressed an interest in having a larger family.
The royal couple and their families are "delighted" with the baby news, said officials at Clarence House, the couple's office. The announcement follows months of speculation in the glossy British and American press about a possible baby brother or sister for George.
After hospital treatment for severe morning sickness, hyperemesis gravidarum, Kate recovered and gave birth to George in July 2013 without further complications.
The current illness means
the 32-year-old duchess may need extra hydration, medication and nutrients.
Britain's Press Association news agency reported that Kate's pregnancy hasn't passed the 12-week stage, which is when she became ill in her first pregnancy.
Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "delighted by the happy news that they're expecting another baby."
Royal officials said it wasn't clear if the duchess will be able to carry out planned official engagements, including a trip to Malta on Sept. 20 and 21 that would mark her first overseas solo trip.
Decisions on events would be made on a "case-by-case" basis, officials said.
Quality may be casualy of film fest war
TORONTO — Has TIFF, North America's largest film festival, become the middlebrow blob that ate cinema?
It's ungracious, I suppose, to ask. But has the blob known as the Toronto International Film Festival, North America's largest and most popular cinema gathering with attendance inching toward the 500,000 mark, lost its way in 2014 among a forest of expectations and contradictions?
This year, somewhere around the third or fourth screening of a routine Hollywood studio product with inflated Oscar hopes ("The Judge") or no awards hopes of any kind ("The Equalizer"), the festival felt like it needed a compass. Or simply some better high-profile movies.
Like many visitors I caught the first five days of TIFF, which concludes Sunday and may well be holding its best stuff for later. Any film festival of a certain gargantuan size — TIFF runs on an annual budget of just under $40 million — provokes speculation about its programming mission, and how well it serves and challenges a bewildering, overlapping series of audiences.
Some come to Toronto to catch up on the hottest international festival circuit titles, many of which premiered earlier in the calendar year at Cannes, Venice or Toronto's Mountain Daylight time zone frenemy, Telluride. (More on that in a minute.) Others want stars in movies coming out in a week or two or a month or two: Bill Murray in "St. Vincent," Denzel Washington in "The Equalizer." And there are a dozen more scenarios in between these two extremes.
Of the bona fide world premiers here this week, "While We're Young" (Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts coping with middle age and tragic wannabe hipsterdom) was a worthy if disappointing Toronto return for Noah Baumbach. The writer-director's previous work, the beguiling "Frances Ha," sustained its premise and its interests throughout; this one begins wonderfully but sputters around the midpoint.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We just failed to get Jamaal the ball. Absolutely. He's one of our biggest playmakers, if not the biggest playmaker. We certainly need to get him involved more."
Alex Smith, on Charles getting only 11 touches in the loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
FACT OF THE DAY
Charles is 229 yards away from breaking the Kansas City Chiefs career rush record. He currently has 5,842 yards. Priest Holmes, the current record holder, had 6,070 yards.
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
— USA Today
Q: How many total touchdowns did Jamaal Charles score in 2013?
A: 19, which was the most among non-quarterback players
-USA Today
THE MORNING BREW
Jamaal Charles needs to be great for Chiefs to win
Adrian Peterson. LeSean McCoy. Jamal Charles. These are the answers one might get if they asked the casual football fan who the best running backs are in the NFL. Of those three elite names, only one means the most to his team's success. That name is Jamal Charles.
2011. The Chiefs also have very little offensive talent around Charles and will most likely have to rely on his ability to score.
In 2013, Charles accounted for 37 percent of the Kansas City Chiefs offense, accounting for 1,980 of the Chiefs 5,396 total yardage. For the Chiefs to replicate last season's success, he might have to do much more in 2014.
The Kansas City offensive line is embarrassing, to say the least. Three starting-quality linemen were lost in free agency. Right tackle Donald Stephenson was suspended for four games. Eric Fisher has been largely unimpressive since being drafted No. 1 overall in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Fortunately, Charles has been able to produce big numbers without a quality offensive line. Despite his slight 199-pound frame, Charles manages to lower his shoulder and get extra yards after contact. This effort, combined with his incredible speed, contributed to his 5.6 yards-per-carry career average. This average is the highest in NFL history since 1960, leading players like Jim Brown and Barry Sanders.

Season-ending injuries to linebacker Derrick Johnson and defensive end Mike DeVito means that the Chiefs will likely be in a lot of high-scoring games. This means Coach
THE BREW
Charles is no stranger to having to carry his team. In the disastrous 2012 season, he posted career highs with 285 carries and 1,509 yards. He did this while coming off of a torn ACL in
Andy Reid might elect to put the ball in Charles' hands as much as possible, increasing his scoring opportunities.
An example of the importance of getting Charles involved in the offense early and often came in last Sunday's head-scratching home loss to the Tennessee Titans. In that game, Charles only received 11 total touches for 34 total yards. The Chiefs lost that game 26-10. If Charles had received at least 20 touches, the game may have turned out
much differently.

Charles is the most important player on the entire Kansas City team. He's a legitimate threat to score every time he touches the football. An example of Charles' ability to change a game can be found in 2013's early season win against the New Orleans Saints. Trail-
24-10 in the second game. Charles took a handoff 91 yards for a touchdown, and gave the Chiefs the momentum needed to win the game.
Charles is a player who can single-handedly take over games. Reid needs to figure out ways to get him more involved in the offense, if the Chiefs want to reach the playoffs.
Big 12 Notebook: Iowa State, Texas fall in rankings

@udk_dan
BIG 12 REPORT
Just two weeks into the 2014 season, with one conference game and several marquee non-conference matchups under its belt, the Big 12 is starting to take shape.
Kansas State claims an early lead in the standings with its 32-28 victory against Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, on Saturday — the only conference matchup so far this season.
As a whole, the league has combined for a 13-5 record in 2014, including close losses to No.1 Florida State and No.3 Alabama.
In the latest Associated Press Poll, the Big 12 features three teams ranked in the Top 25 and two in the top 10: No.4 Oklahoma and No.8 Baylor.
BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS
1. OKLAHOMA (2-0)
Last time out: Won at Tulsa 52-7
The Sooners received two AP first-place votes this week following their 52-7 victory against Tulsa. Both running backs Keith Ford and Alex Ross are averaging more than seven yards per carry.
Up next: vs. Tennessee
2. BAYLOR (2-0)
The Bears didn't miss a beat without starting quarterback Bryce Petty in the lineup (back). Sophomore Seth Russell threw for 438 yards and five touchdowns in Baylor's win against Northwestern State. The Baylor defense is allowing three points per game through two contests.
Up next: at Buffalo
3. KANSAS STATE (2-0)
Last time out: Won at Iowa. State 32-28
Quarterback Jake Waters totailed 377 yards of offense with two rushing touchdowns and was named co-Offensive Player of the Week. The Wildcats were penalized 10 times Saturday but stormed back for the win, holding Iowa State scoreless in the second half.
Up next: vs. No. 5 Auburn
4. OKLAHOMA STATE (1-1)
Last time out: Won vs. Missouri State 40-23
Newcomer Tyreek Hill has showcased his world-class speed. Hill leads the conference in all-purpose yards with 189.5 per game. The defense ranks second to last in the Big 12 with 425 yards per game. Up next: vs. UTSA
5. TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY (1-0)
Last time out: Won vs. Sam-
ford 48-14
The Horned Frogs allowed only 56 yards passing in the win and quarterback Trevone Boykin went 29 of 41 for 320 yards and two touchdowns.
6. WEST VIRGINIA (1-1)
Last time out: Won vs. Towson 54-0
The Mountaineers lost to No. 3 Alabama by 10 points in the first week. Quarterback Clint Trickett has completed 75 percent of his passes, and the team is tied for second in the conference in first downs.
Up next: at Maryland
7. TEXAS TECH (2-0)
Up next: vs. Minnesota
Last time out: Won at UTEP 30-26
Despite an explosive offense, the Red Raiders have won by just seven and four points against weak opponents, thanks to a porous defense. Quarterback Davis Webb has
averaged 365 yards passing per game.
Without quarterback David Ash (concussion), the Texas offense has stalled. Defensive tackle Malcolm Brown leads the conference with 4.5 tackles for loss.
Up next: vs. No. 12 UCLA
9. KANSAS (1-0)
Last time out: Won vs. Southeast Missouri State 34-28
8. TEXAS (1-1)
Leading SEMO 34-7 heading into the fourth quarter, Kansas surrendered three straight touchdowns but escaped with the six-point victory after controlling the game for most of the night. Senior defensive back Dexter McDonald was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week with his two interceptions, two solo
Last time out: Lost vs. BYU
41-7
Up next: vs. Arkansas
10. IOWA STATE (0-2)
With a Week One drubbing by North Dakota State, 34-14, Iowa State rebounded at home in its conference opener against Kansas State by grabbing a 28-13 lead in the first half. That advantage would evaporate as the offense stalled, in large part due to the absence of wide receiver Quenton Bundrage (ACL) and right tackle Jacob Gannon (personal reasons). Senior wide receiver Jarvis West was the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against Kansas State, becoming the first player in FBS or FCS with a punt return, passing and receiving touchdowns in the same game since 2010.

COMMENTARY Volleyball continues to dominate at tournaments
By Brian Hillix
@DoubleHillix
Pre-conference tournaments are important in more ways than one to Kansas volleyball. They act as a springboard into the conference season and give the Jayhawks experience playing teams and styles they may encounter in the NCAA Tournament.
For the second straight year, coach Ray Bechard scheduled a difficult non-conference schedule. This year's schedule includes four tournaments featuring matchups with five teams that made the NCAA Tournament last season, as well as teams that are likely to make it this season.
"The goal is, once again, to get into the postseason and so that (the non-conference schedule) reads you for that," Bechard said. "But beyond that, it does help you get ready for the Big 12 conference."
These pre-conference tournaments have been a major factor in Kansas' postseason success over the last two seasons, including the program's first-ever appearance in the Sweet 16 in 2013.
But the Jayhawks aren't just competing in them. They're winning them.
Dating back to last year, Kansas has won or tied for first place in five straight invitational tournaments.It's also doing so against quality opponents.
Last season, Kansas won the InnTowner and Kansas Invitations, and tied for first at the Arizona Invitational. You can bet these results gave the Jayhawks plenty of confidence for their Big 12 run.
Those results have carried over to this year, where Kansas has won its first two tournaments outright. The Jayhawks won the Kansas Invitational on Aug. 30, clinching the title by defeating then-No. 23 Creighton in the final match. On Sept. 6, Kansas swept its matches at the Pioneer Classic, beating undefeated Denver on its home court in the title match
But what better measuring stick than against the defending champs and current No. 3-ranked team in the country? This will especially prepare the young squad — the team only has three upperclassmen
The streak will be in jeopardy this weekend, as a matchup awaits with the defending national champions in Penn State in the Villanova Tournament on Sept. 12.
for conference foe and No.
2-ranked Texas, who has won
the Big 12 the last three years.
"Playing Penn State is really big obviously", sophomore middle blocker Tayler Soucie said. "That's the best school you're gonna play."
Even if the team doesn't push the tournament title streak to six, the Jayhawks will gain much-needed experience that will benefit them in conference play and beyond. Look to last season for an example.

@HardyNFL
For the third consecutive year, the Jayhawks volleyball team will take on the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The Kangarooos (4-2) will travel to Lawrence tonight for a match against the Jayhawks, who are currently on a four-match winning streak.
Kansas (5-1) will play for its third win against UMKC in three years. In its last meeting against UMKC, Kansas took home a 3-1 win last year, and in 2012, it took only three sets for the Jayhawks to pick up the win. Of the 32 times the Jayhawks have taken on the Kangaroos, they have only been defeated once, and are 22-0 at home, which is where they will be on Tuesday.
Over the weekend, the Jayhawks continued their winning streak in Denver with three wins as they closed out the Denver Invitational. The team gave up only one set in their victories against Bradley, Sam Houston State and Denver University, which gave
Kansas its second invitational win of the season.
Senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers was named the most valuable player of the invitational, while freshman setter Ainise Havilli made her second All-Tournament team.
On the other end of the court, the Kangaroos come in sporting a 4-2 record, with wins against Central Michigan, Omaha, South Dakota State and Stephen F. Austin. UMKC lost only two players last year and returns five starters plus its libero, Taryn Miller.
the Top 25, coming in at No. 24.
The match is Kansas' lone game outside of tournament or conference play this season. Though UMKC has been a breeze for Kansas in the past, the match will make for good
junior outside hitter Jessica Hendin will lead the way for UMKC, as she has done in the team's first six matches. She averaging 3.08 kills and 3.83 digs per set so far this season after averaging just 2.56 and 2.64, respectively, last season.
The Jayhawks will also come into the match as a ranked team. After missing the American Volleyball Coaches Association's rankings last week and sweeping their matches over the weekend, the Jayhawks moved back into
mid-week preparation for the tough weekend slate that lies ahead of it, which includes No. 3-ranked Penn State, Villanova and American, which was just recently pushed out of the AVCA rankings.
The match against UMKC will start at 6:30 p.m. tonight at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. The game will also be broadcasted online via ESPN3.

THE DAILY DEBATE Will Kansas soccer finish in the top three in the Big 12 this year?
By Liz Kuhlmann
@LizKuhlmannUDK
"NO"
The soccer team has tallied up quite an impressive résumé for this week. With two wins in Colorado this past weekend, the team bumped its record to the best it's been since 2004 - 6-0. On top of that, Kansas is ranked first in the Big 12 standings, leading Texas Tech (2) and Baylor (3), who were predicted to be in the top four by the end of the season. Despite these excellent accomplishments, Kansas soccer fans should not get too used to seeing the Jayhawks within the top three of the conference standings by the end of the season.
by the end of the season.
Yes, the Jayhawks have been immensely successful thus far this season. I think that's been
Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying the Jayhawks are not an exceptional team this year. They have all the right tools to be successful: motivation, experience and passion. Unfortunately, the team will be pitted against some of the best programs in the country within its own conference. Coach Mark Francis has said it countless times: no conference game the Jayhawks play
well established. They should be proud of everything they have accomplished. No game is an easy game, but let's take a look at the teams Kansas has faced, leaving it with an unblemished record. South Dakota State University (2-3), Southern Methodist University (2-4), UT-San Antonio (3-2), Wake Forest (2-3), University of Colorado-Boulder (4-2) and Denver University (2-3-1). Only two of these six teams have achieved a winning record thus far into nonconference play, so it is safe to say things are only going to get tougher for the Jayhawks from here.

this year will be a given. The Big 12 is notorious for its strong women's soccer programs, and three Big 12 teams have already ranked within the Top 25 on NCAA rankings this season: Texas Tech, Oklahoma and West Virginia.
Additionally, sophomore defender Morgan Williams said this weekend that away games are tough to win, and the Jayhawks will be forced to face 50 percent of their conference competition on the road. All these teams faced slightly more challenging pre-conference schedules, and all these teams will be fighting for a top seed.
Edited by Ben Carroll
I'm not saying they won't make or win the Big 12 Tournament, or that they won't get a bid to the NCAA tournament, I'm only saying that given the extensive competition within the Big 12, the odds of them making top three are slim.
By Ben Carroll
@BCarroll91
"YES"
A season 6-0, Kansas soccer has made it clear that this is the best team the program has fielded in the last 10 years. The Jayhawks were projected to finish sixth in the Big 12 this season, but they've proved that's far too low.
A after starting its season 6-0, Kansas soccer has made
The seniors have said returning to the tournament is the goal of this team and already are just one win shy of last season's mark. Kansas has already eliminated No. 24 Wake Forest from the NCAA rankings, and after sweeping a pair of games this weekend in Colorado, the Jayhawks expect to be placed somewhere inside the top 25.
Not only is the crimson and blue off to the best start in nearly a decade, Kansas has been effective defensively and have yet to trail a team during a match so far this season. That resilience is what is going to get the team a top-3 finish in the Big 12 standings.
The Jayhawks are dangerous on the offensive side of the ball, too, and own a
+12 goal differential, which marks the best the program has seen to start a season.
The offense is powered by junior midfielder Liana Salazar, who leads all Big 12 players with six goals and 13 points. Last week, Salazar earned herself Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in her career.
Although Salazar is the catalyst to the offense, the team hasn't seen a bunch of well-rounded girls like this team has in a while. Instead of one or two players scoring, everyone is getting minutes and contributing. Kansas has scored 16 goals coming from six different players.
Senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud is as good as it gets between the pipes for Kansas. She earned her second shutoff of the season on Sunday against the University of Denver, and her 23 career victories has tied her for third all-time among Jayhawk goalkeepers. Having that type of leadership in the net has proven successful so far.
With this recipe the Jayhawks have, expect them to be able to finish in the top of the Big 12.

At an open forum Tuesday night held by the September Siblings, a new campus organization working to change the University sexual assault policies, discussion ranged from survivors' stories to the lack of education and training to the frustration with victim-blaming. The recurring topic was a call for the University to make a change in its policies.
"One of the things I heard over and over tonight, which I thought was really remarkable and exciting was the call for KU to be a leader on this issue, to be a national leader, and I think that's very possible," said Alesha Doan, chair of the Department of Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies.
Around 275 people,including students, faculty, advocates and community members, attended the meeting at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries.

The University and Jayhawk brand came out as No.1 when RSA Marketing conducted a survey in July of the most wellknown Kansas-based brands.
The 500 people surveyed were asked what he or she thought the most well-known Kansas-based brand is, and the Jayhawks came out above brands like Sprint, Russell Stover and Dillons.
"I think it's just a reflection of our fans and our alumni," said Paul Vander Tuig, trademark licensing director for the University. "Not only that we have across the nation, but particularly here in Kansas, obviously we've got a very recognizable brand, and the institution is very well represented in the state."
Vander Tuig said it's his job to make sure University trademarks are only used by authorized companies, the trademarks are used appropriately and the University is compensated for

The video is one of many student responses to a Sept. 2 article by the Huffington Post that reported how the University and Lawrence law enforcement handled a sexual assault complaint.

COMMENTARY Volleyball continues to dominate at tournaments
Edited by Rob Pyatt
By Brian Hillix
@DoubleHillix
Even if the team doesn't push the tournament title streak to six, the Jayhawks will gain much-needed experience that will benefit them in conference play and beyond. Look to last season for an example.
"Playing Penn State is really big obviously" sophiomore middle blocker Tayler Soucie said. "That's the best school you're gonna play."
"The goal is, once again, to get into the postseason and so that (the non-conference schedule) reads you for that," Bechard said. "But beyond that, it does help you get ready for the Big 12 conference."
These pre-conference tournaments have been a major factor in Kansas's postseason success over the last two seasons, including the program's first-ever appearance in the Sweet 16 in 2013.
But the Jayhawks aren't just competing in them. They're winning them.
Pre-conference tournaments are important in more ways than one to Kansas volleyball. They act as a springboard into the conference season and give the Jayhawks experience playing teams and styles they may encounter in the NCAA Tournament.
For the second straight year, coach Ray Bechard scheduled a difficult non-conference schedule. This year's schedule includes four tournaments featuring matchups with five teams that made the NCAA Tournament last season, as well as teams that are likely to make it this season.
Dating back to last year, Kansas has won or tied for first place in five straight invitational tournaments. It's also doing so against quality opponents.
But what better measuring stick than against the defending champs and current No. 3-ranked team in the country? This will especially prepare the young squad — the team only has three upperclassmen — for conference foe and No. 2-ranked Texas, who has won the Big 12 the last three years.
Last season, Kansas won the InniTowner and Kansas Invitationals, and tied for first at the Arizona Invitational. You can bet these results gave the Jayhawks plenty of confidence for their Big 12 run.
Those results have carried over to this year, where Kansas has won its first two tournaments outright. The Jayhawks won the Kansas Invitational on Aug. 30, clinching the title by defeating then-No. 23 Creighton in the final match. On Sept. 6, Kansas swept its matches at the Pioneer Classic, beating undefeated Denver on its home court in the title match.
The streak will be in jeopardy this weekend, as a matchup awaits with the defending national champions in Penn State In The Villanova Tournament on Sept. 12.

BATE ig 12 this year?
+12 goal differential, which marks the best the program has seen to start a season. The offense is powered by junior midfielder Liana Salazar, who leads all Big 12 players with six goals and 13 points. Last week, Salazar earned herself Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in her career.
Although Salazar is the catalyst to the offense, the team hasn't seen a bunch of well-rounded girls like this team has in a while. Instead of one or two players scoring, everyone is getting minutes and contributing. Kansas has scored 16 goals coming from six different players.
Senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud is as good as it gets between the pipes for Kansas. She earned her second shutoff of the season on Sunday against the University of Denver, and her 23 career victories has tied her for third all-time among Jayhawk goalkeepers. Having that type of leadership in the net has proven successful so far.
With this recipe the Jayhawks have, expect them to be able to finish in the top of the Big 12.

BREAKING THE SILENCE
Forum provides space for community to respond to University sexual assault allegations
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHarford
"One of the things I heard over and over tonight, which I thought was really remarkable and exciting was the call for KU to be a leader on this issue, to be a national leader, and I think that's very possible," said Alesha Doan, chair of the Department of Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies.
At an open forum Tuesday night held by the September Siblings, a new campus organization working to change the University sexual assault policies, discussion ranged from survivors' stories to the lack of education and training to the frustration with victim-blaming. The recurring topic was a call for the University to make a change in its policies.
Around 275 people, including students, faculty, advocates and community members, attended the meeting at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries.
The discussion began with the September Siblings sharing its demands and showing an antirecruitment video it will promote until the University sexual assault policies change.
"We've organized this event because voices aren't being heard by KU administration, because students are experiencing sexual violence and they have no control over what justice they receive," said Hobbes Entrikin, a junior and a September Siblings member who helped organize the forum. "KU administration is not allowing students to be involved in a way that will change policies."
The goal of the forum was to create a space for people to share these stories, along with messages of support and calls

"If women are being raped
at this 20 percent rate and the University is not doing everything in its power to a) prevent it and b) remedy the situations after it happened they are inhibiting these womens' these survivors' ability to pursue their education here," Halling said.
Angela Murphy, a graduate teaching assistant and development coordinator for the Title IX Roundtable said in a Sept. 8 interview that studentled discussions are what motivate change.
"When you have students, young people, age ranges over a decade, gathering together over the same issue then you are doing something right," Murphy said. "I fully believe that that's the one thing we are doing right is students mobilizing to affect positive change at the University."
Halling said students can continue putting pressure on the University to change by discussing it in class and writing to the chancellor.
Doan also said students can continue to push for change through social media and spreading the word.
"Creating a consent culture is not as difficult as we pretend it is as a society" Doan said.

Survey: Jayhawk is most recognized brand in state

"Comeing from Overland Park ... if I was asked the question I would have to say Sprint." Patel said. She said she first thinks of Sprint because of its location in Overland Park, but she said she is glad the University is No. 1 in this survey.
"I would have been a little disappointed if it weren't certainly high in the rankings in our own state," Vander Tuig said. He said he thinks the results of the survey reflect what people at the University probably already believe.
their use.
Shivani Patel, a freshman from Overland Park, said she is not surprised the University came out as No.1 in this survey, even though another brand is more prominent in her hometown.
Vander Tuig said he believes the recognition the University has across the state may have helped the University come out on the top of this survey.
"Literally everywhere you go you see a Jayhawk somewhere," Patel said. "I go outside of my house anywhere I would see a KU little logo on a car or I'd see a Jayhawk in a store. I mean, it's pretty big. As a child ... my parents never grew up here, they never had a college that they supported or anything so I always fell into KU and KU basketball because I would see it everywhere."
penetration that we have not only, you know, here in Lawrence, Kansas City, even in Wichita, I think all lends itself to the promotion of the University," Vander Tuig said.
Besides placing higher than Sprint, Dillons and Russell Stover, the KU and Jayhawk brand came out above Free State Beer, Pizza Hut, Coleman, Boulevard Beer, Garmin, Koch Industries, Hallmark and Beechcraft in the survey.
Patel said she grew up seeing the Jayhawk trademark around her.

Underage drinking is one of the most common illegal activities among college students. While many students engage in this activity, few know the costs of what could happen to them if they are caught. Captain James Anguiano of the KU Public Safety Office said 23 students were charged with possession of alcohol while underage last year.
In the past three years, 105 people have been cited for minor in possession, Anguiano said. So far in 2014, 12 people have been given citations.
According to the Lawrence City Attorney's website, minors can be charged with underage possession in
many situations including being in a vehicle that contains opened or unopened containers, even if the minor has not consumed alcohol.
"It just feels so common at the dorms."
LEXANNA SIMS Sophomore from Topeka
Private residences are not excluded. If an officer is responding to a complaint at a residence and the officer observes individuals breaking the law, he or she may have the right to enter the home.
The fines associated with the charge can be quite hefty. According to the
City Attorney's website, first-time offenders may have to pay anywhere from $300 to $500. Along with the fines, jail time of up to 30 days and up to 40 hours of community service may also be given. Fines and penalties can be even worse if found using a fake ID. These fines can range from $300 to $2,500, along with up to a year in jail and 100 hours of community service.
Lexanna Sims, a sophomore from Topeka, said the fines associated with MIPs deter her from underage drinking. Sims also said while she believes campus police are doing a good job making sure underage drinking is limited, there is no way to catch everyone who drinks.
"It just feels so common
at the dorms," Sims said. "And there aren't a lot of police there, so unless you are going crazy with it they probably won't catch you."
Completing diversion programs is one way of keeping a citation off your record. According to the City Attorney's website, a diversion is a set agreement with certain conditions and supervision that must be met in order for the MIP not to show up on records.
"I totally think that there should be a way to get it off your record," said Meghan Keller, a sophomore from Topeka. "You shouldn't have to have a mistake you made in college haunt you later on."

Memorial Union coffee shop to reopen Monday
The image shows a modern interior space with a long, empty hallway. The walls are painted in light colors, and there are several tables and chairs arranged neatly along the wall. A woman is seated on one of the chairs, facing away from the camera. In the background, there are two large paintings mounted on the wall, depicting landscapes or abstract designs. The floor is made of marble tiles, and there are no visible windows or doors. The lighting in the room appears to be artificial, with overhead lights illuminating the space. The overall atmosphere is calm and quiet.
The former Pulse coffee shop in Kansas Memorial Union will reopen Monday with a new name, Roasterie Coffeehouse. Since the coffee shop's closing, other coffee stands on campus have seen an influx of customers.

Coffee drinkers on the north side of campus can finally get their caffeine fix without having to walk too far. The popular coffee shop at the Memorial Union is scheduled to reopen Monday with a new look and a new name: Roasterie Coffeehouse.

Elderly KC couple dies after beating
An elderly couple severely beaten in their Kansas City home, allegedly by a man also accused of fatally shooting three of their neighbors, died Tuesday after being taken off life support, relatives and hospital officials said.
Ann Taylor, 86, and her husband, George Taylor, 80, were attacked in their basement Sept. 2. Prosecutors allege Brandon Howell beat the couple, then fatally shot three other people outside nearby homes before fleeing in the Taylors' SUV. Howell, a convicted felon, was arrested hours later when police found him walking with a loaded shotgun in his pants.
$ \therefore $
Ann Taylor was taken off life support Monday night but lived until Tuesday, while her husband was removed from life support Tuesday morning and died soon after, according to HCA Midwest Health in Kansas City.
"George and Ann died peacefully and we are blessed that they left this Earth together," family members said in a statement. "They were married more than 40 years, and loved each other dearly."
Howell, 34, faces a dozen felony charges including three counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of the Taylors' neighbors:
Howell also was acquitted in 2009 in the killings of two Kansas teenagers who were last seen in 1998. One victim's body was later found buried outside a Kansas City home being renovated by Howell's father; the other body has never been found.
Alice Hurst, 88; her son,
Darrel Hurst, 63; and Susan
Choucroun, 69.
Kansas court records show Howell pleaded guilty in 2000 to a 1999 home invasion in Johnson County, Kansas, in which one victim was cut on the hand and a cat was decapitated. He was sentenced to 12 years but paroled in 2011.
It wasn't immediately clear when or if new charges would be filed related to the Taylors' deaths, but "be assured that at the appropriate time, today's sad news of the Taylors' passing will be reflected in the state's case against the defendant," said Mike Mansur, spokesman for the Jackson County prosecutor's office.
Kansas City police responded to a 911 call from Ann Taylor the afternoon of Sept. 2. Officers found Choucourn's body in the driveway of the home next door to the Taylors' house. A few houses away, the Hursts' bodies were found in the front yard of their home, in a tidy cul-de-sac lined with duplexes.

Senate candidate sues Secretary of State
U. S. Senate candidate Chad Taylor filed a lawsuit against Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach with the Kansas Supreme Court on Tuesday to be removed from the Nov. 4 ballot.
Last week, Kobach announced Taylor would remain on the ballot because of KSA 20-306(b), a Kansas law stating that candidates who wish to withdraw must state they would be incapable of fulfilling the requirements of the job.
Kobach refused to remove Taylor from the ballot because he said he believes Taylor's letter didn't fulfill this requirement.
Taylor's petition, however, says his withdrawal was "timely, lawful and unequivocal."
Kelly Arnold, chairman of the Kansas Republican Party, said the Democratic Party will have to replace Taylor on the ballot within 10 days if he is allowed to withdraw.

Dissident Republican group backs Democrat in Kansas
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A group of moderate former Republican state legislators Tuesday endorsed the Democratic nominee in the sprawling and heavily GOP 1st Congressional District of Kansas over conservative incumbent Tim Huelskamp.
Democrat Jim Sherow, a 63-year-old Kansas State University history professor and former Manhattan mayor, had a Statehouse news conference to tout his backing from Traditional Republicans for Common Sense. Sherow served six years on the nonpartisan Manhattan City Commission and said he worked with local Republicans then.
"People in this district want practical results." Sherow said.
practical results, shrewd said. Huelkskap spokesman Mark Kelly dimissed the news conference as "political theater" and said the congressman was busy Tuesday in Washington, working on issues such as resisting new federal water regulations.
lowing conflicts with Speaker John Boehner.
"Congressman Huelskamp believes the people of the 1st District will re-elect him based on his record of working for them and standing with their values," Kelly said in a statement.
The moderate GOP group said it opposes Huelskamp partly because he was stripped of Kansas' nearly automatic seat on the Agriculture Committee in December 2012 fol-
Huelskamp, a tea party favorite, has said he's willing to buck party leaders to represent his largely rural district, which covers more than 60 counties, mostly in western and central Kansas. He is seeking his third, two-year term.
"People in this district want practical results."
JIM SHEROW Kansas State University history professor, former Manhattan mayor
He remains favored to win re-election Nov. 4 because 53 percent of the district's 409,000 registered voters are Republicans, and only 19 percent are Democrats.
The moderate GOP group was formed in 2012 by ex-legislators upset with the Kansas GOP's shift to the right. It also endorsed independent candidate Greg Orman in the U.S. Senate race, and many of its members are backing Democrat Paul Davis in the governor's race over incumbent Sam Brownback.
But its chairman, former state Rep. Jim Yonally, of Overland Park, said the group expects to endorse Republican Attorney General Derek Schmidt's re-election.

College years important for developing self-control
A friend I know recently received his Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) score. He scored a 37, placing him in the 98th percentile, where Harvard Medical School's previous fall class averaged 36.36. While his score is impressive, I want to note that his amount of self-control led him to succeed. It's easy to assume natural ability, genes and talent land people places, however, psychology studies show self-control is like a muscle and can be strengthened
and exercised over time. This makes people wonder if high test scores and self-control can be related.
More self-control led my friend to a phenomenal MCAT score, and it can lead others where they want to go. From the dining table to finishing reps at the gym, having more self-control allows us to achieve more.
While in college, self-control is vital as we are constantly being tested. You can eat healthier, stay in and study instead of going out or use social media

less. All of your goals will become easier to attain if you practice self-control. Learn to regulate your decisions so you don't regret them later. You can push yourself further each time.
How can we achieve more self-control?
Australian scientists Megan Oaten and Ken Cheng of Macquarie University in Sydney assigned volunteers to a twomonth physical exercise program. Participants who completed the exercise program did better on a lab measure of self-control than participants who did not complete the physical exercise program.
"Regularly exercising their willpower with physical exercise, it seemed, led to stronger willpower in nearly all areas of their lives," according to the
study. Oaten and Cheng also suggest that because willpower and self-control can be depleted, it's best to focus on one goal at a time. Trying to achieve multiple goals at once will lead to faster depletion and incompletion of all goals.
So, what's your goal for this school year? Pick one, and start working on your self-control. Now is the time to develop this muscle.

Carefree living relieves pressure of growing up
Every year we getolder, learn newthings, and gainexperience. The older youget, the more responsibilityyou have to take on.However, just becausewe grow up doesn't meanyou have to "grow up."Not acting so serious canbe a great way to relievestress in today's fast-paced society. Looking atlife differently may causeyou to be happier. Dr.Kathleen Fuller, a cognitive behavioral psychotherapist,has studied the behaviors ofchildren and adults for 40 years. According to Fuller,playing can relieve stressand it is "a form of self-expression that many adults
have lost."
When you were a kid, you had little to worry about; your homework consisted of coloring, basic addition and learning to write in cursive. School was more fun and classes were easier when we were younger. As we progress through school, classes become more difficult and stressful, but you can still have fun while studying. Making games out of the study material is a great way to remember everything efficiently. Making flashcards to use so you can challenge your friends can make studying easier and competitive.

to help remember specific passages that are important to know.
Being a kid can go beyond the classroom. In your everyday life, acting more carefree can drastically increase your mood. As a kid, the world was the best playground you had; no matter where you were, you could make up games and have the best time, whether alone or with friends. Don't
lose your imagination as you grow up.
"Sometimes being a grown-up is, well, boring. Yes, you should pay your bills, make your deadlines, and clean your apartment, but make sure to leave time to be a little silly and have fun," says Gabrielle Bernstein, author of Add More -Ing to Your Life: A Hip Guide to Happiness. "Even jumping on your bike for an afternoon ride with friends will make you feel more carefree."
Go swing on a playground and imagine you are flying.
Create a game with your friends or bake a cake.
There are many things you can do to keep your inner
Society frowns on adults acting younger than their age. It is fun to live a little more carefree and childish than to always think you are forgetting something or to be on the move. Acting a little more carefree doesn't mean you're less intelligent; it means that you're enjoying the time you have. We're back in school and every day we grow older. Worrying less can be the best way to keep sane. You are only as old as you want to be, so go have fun with the time you have.

Taking up the art of tango
Club provides comfortable environment for both new, experienced dancers
MINSEON KIM
@minseonkim94
As Argentine tango music filled the art gallery on the second floor of Signs of Life, students and locals gathered to dance with their partners during a weekly practice. After struggling to learn the dance at first, Ali Imran, a graduate student from Lawrence, is now president of the KU Tango Club.
"It was difficult." Imran said. "You have to put in a lot of work and effort to learn this, but once you start having fun, then it's hard to walk away from it."
Some students participate in tango as a way to get their minds off school and work. Christian Encarnacion, a junior from Parsons, started tango when his friend asked him to go to a free dance lesson together. He said it was nice to do something completely unrelated to his daily routine.
I am so happy to have you as my friend. I love you very much. I'll always be with you.
Pete Walker, a PhD student,
Participants practice dancing the tango at the Signs of Life bookstore and coffee shop at 722 Massachusetts St.
said many of the tango instructors have previously studied in Argentina. He said a lot of the people involved in the tango community have a sincere passion for dance and love to share their passion with others.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
"They are teachers in that they like to share the art of the dance and they are students in that they
like to learn, and they learn a lot by teaching others and dancing with people of all levels," Walker said. "So it's a really complex yet complete relationship that

"It was awkward and uncomfortable at first," he said. "I thought it was a lot of fun, but I wasn't quite sure if I was capable of doing it. It's a walk but it's one of those hardest walks I've ever had to do."
The Lawrence tango community is welcoming to first time learners. Walker reminisces about when he first started learning tango.
Even though learning a new dance can be tough, it provides
"I got into it really gradually," Frish said. "I think it was the first night I stopped bringing homework that I was like, 'Oh, I actually really like this.'"
Most students involved in the tango club had no prior experience with tango and didn't expect to ever become involved. Rachel Frish, a junior from Dallas, said she hadn't considered taking up tango until she sat in on a class that her friend was in.
Students involved with the Lawrence tango community said they have met many

'BMX Guy' draws inspiration from pro
Edited by Ashley Peralta
UDK: What were your inspirations for flatland BMX riding?
Red Bull
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
The name "BMX Guy" might ring a bell to some students. That's because you have probably seen Zunwu Zhou, a senior from Wuhan, China, around campus and in front of Wescoe Hall, practicing tricks on his BMX bike. On Tuesday, Zhou was back in front of Wescoe, but this time joined by another BMX rider, who is an inspiration to Zhou.
Adams: For me it was just the fact that it was different than the other aspects of BMX, which are kind of easy to figure out, where it's guys
Terry Adams, a Red Bull professional flatland BMX rider, visited the campus. Adams has won numerous awards over the course of his life including: 'Ride BMX Magazine's Number One Ride Award' two times, and an X Games gold medal in 2005.
Adams: About 20 years.
Zhou: I think around seven or eight years.
Last year, the University Daily Kansan ran an article about Zhou. Now, the two BMX masters sat down, together, in front of Wescoe and discussed their biking experiences in a joint interview.
UDK: How long have the two of you been riding?
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Terry Adams: I got started just because I saw people doing it on TV and in magazines, and it pretty much just looked impossible, so I was intrigued, and how it looked, and just being a kid, I wanted to see how it felt to move the bike around like that, and just see how it felt to be at a high level of a BMX rider, so that's what kind of kept me involved in it.
University Daily Kansan:
How did both of you get started with BMX?
Zunwu Zhou: I guess it was around seven or eight years ago when the BMX flatland was still part of the X Games, and I liked to watch TV shows with it, and thought it was really cool, so I just kind of got started. Especially at that time, I was back in China, and no one else in the city was doing it, so I just really wanted to do something different that no one else could do. I also watched different videos at that time, and I watched a lot of videos of Terry riding, so Terry has been a pretty influential rider in my life.
Zunwu Zhou, known by many as the "BMX Guy," talks with professional BMX flatland rider Terry Adams on Tuesday. The pair met three years ago on campus during a Red Bull campus tour.
jumping down steps, or guys racing BMX, but BMX flatland is more complex, and it was kind of so complicated, I just wanted to figure it out, you know? The first time I saw it on TV, it almost felt like I was looking at something I couldn't describe, so I wanted to get in there and try to figure it all out.
Zhou: For me, when I learned my first spinning tricks, I just got addicted to it, and spinning my bike.
UDK: So, how did you two first meet?
Adams: Right here, right?
Zhou: Yeah, right here, I think it was three years ago, Terry was here doing the same Red Bull campus tour. We met here, and had a riding session together.
Adams: Yeah, so we met here, but then we kind of met up at different locations, and I got to see this guy's progress.
UDK: What were a couple of those locations you met un at?
Adams: It was Joplin, Mo; Austin, Texas; and Newport Beach in California.
UDK: What kind of work goes into BMX for you?
Adams: Yeah, it's different than other types of BMX because it's not that dangerous, so really the work that goes into it is like trying the same motion over and over for a lot of repetitions. Sometimes guys are working on tricks for three months, and they're just trying the same motion. Our injuries might come from like a sore muscle because our hand might be flipped around a certain way, or we're doing the same motion over and over again.
Zhou: Like Terry said, we have to do the same motion or trick and practice it over and over again in order to gain muscle memory.
UDK: What is your favorite experience with BMX?
Adams: It would be what BMX has given me, you know, the opportunity to meet guys like this [Adams motions to Zhou], and to just travel the world and view different cultures through BMX. BMX has just given me a chance to see that anything is possible.
Zhou: I really enjoy going out to contests, the goal isn't necessarily to get the prize there, the main reason or motivation to go out to different contests is so I can meet different riders from all around the country, or even
from all around the world.
UDK: Zhou said you were one of his inspirations for BMX; have you had any riders who were an inspiration for you?
inspiration for you?
Adams: Pretty much when I was growing up, I admired every rider that was in the magazines, or in a VHS tape or a DVD, so back then it was any rider that was a pro. My goals were to be as good as those guys, so that's kind of where my focus point was as a kid.
UDK: Have you had a moment or a time when you really scared yourself doing BMX?
Adams: I guess a couple times when I was younger I was a little bit more careless. Now, I'm not as careless as I was before. You know, there were times when I was younger where I would be hauling ass and not really paying attention, and those were the times where I would break bones and be out for a couple months. My main goal now is to be safe.
Zhou: Probably the times where a certain part on my bike breaks, that's probably the most scary part because I've broken my handlebar or the frame just cracks and that is pretty scary.
Adams: Yeah, cause you could come and it could jar you in the neck.
UDK: Where do you see your bike taking you in the future?
Adams: Hopefully I can keep doing the same as I've been doing, you know which is traveling the world, and doing what I love. This was a childhood dream of mine and now I've gotten the opportunity to live that dream through my sponsors and through all the companies that support me. So right now it's not taking those opportunities for granted.
Zhou: For me, I don't think I'll be able to become a professional rider, but I want to keep on riding the rest of my life or till I'm old enough. After I graduate and get a job, I'll still be going to different contests or different gyms, so I'm just going to keep riding. Adams: But I have to disagree. I think that you could be a pro rider if you wanted to jump up from the class, because I think your skill level is high.
Adams: Yeah, your skill level is high though. I think if you wanted to you could.
Zhou: Yeah, I think I can do that, but not like professional riding like you, riding is your career.
Zhou: I could compete in the pro class, but I don't think I'm good enough that I could have Red Bull or other companies sponsor me and send me around the world.
Adams: I still disagree, I think that you're better than what you think.
Zhou: [Laughs] All right, thanks, I guess I'll see where it takes me.
Adams The flatland is a very artistic side of BMX, so it's a way for riders to kind of express themselves, it's very different from the other disciplines because it's almost dancing on the bike, so all it really takes is your mind and your body, and coming up with something creative in your head.
UDK: So what is riding about to you?
Zhou: For me it's definitely part of my life, and I'll say I can't live without it.
UDK: Is there any advice you would give to anyone starting BMX?
Adams: My advice is find a community or help build one to help flatland grow.
Zhou: I would just go online and watch a good video and go riding directly afterward, and put on some music, that's my advice for when I don't have a lot of motivation.
UDK: Is there any info you'd like to share that I haven't already asked?
Zhou: You can just tell them I'll be riding [at Wescoe] a lot Adams: I mean you can see the marks on the ground over here, this guy's been riding in the same location for years, you know?
Adams: If you want to follow me, my Instagram and Twitter are @terryadambsmx and they can also find me on Facebook by just typing in Terry Adams BMX.

jeremy Saunders, general manager of the newly opened restaurant Hog Wild Pit BBQ, has a long-running history with Lawrence. Even though he is from Eureka and didn't attend the University of Kansas, he has always been a fan of the Jayhawks and KU basketball.

"I've been coming to basketball games for the last 12 years and had connections with people here," Saunders said. He said the restaurant's Wichita-style barbecue is perfect for small towns like Lawrence.
Hog Wild Pit BBQ is a Wichita-based barbecue chain opening restaurants in cities like Hutchinson, Salina and El Dorado after its success at each of its five Wichita locations. The Lawrence location, which is located on 23rd Street near Naismith Drive, became the ninth store of the franchise.
"We really have a good coverage in the Wichita area and its surrounding areas there," Saunders said. "We are just basically moving away from there as we grow. Lawrence seems like a good fit for us. It's a great location. It's great for the campus."

The Lawrence location replaced an old Blockbuster store that went out of business in 2013. The restaurant opened its doors in August and is owned by T.D. O'Connell.
Bill Self has visited the restaurant and has eaten its famous barbecue, Saunders said. He left his signature on
a menu which is now framed on the restaurant's wall.
"It's my first time here,but the restaurant looks well designed and their food is delicious," customer Chrissy Allen said. "Since it's on 23rd street, it is pretty convenient for us to grab barbecue anytime."

'Young Frankenstein' has new life at 40th-anniversary celebration
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNF
Director Mel Brooks spent a lot of money on white handkerchiefs while making his 1974 tour de farce, "Young Frankenstein."
"I gave everybody in the crew a white handkerchief," said the 88-year-old comedy legend during a recent phone interview. "I said, 'When you feel like laughing, put this in your mouth.' Every once in a while, I'd turn around and see a sea of white handkerchiefs, and I said, 'I got a hit."
"Young Frankenstein" was more than a hit. It is a comic masterpiece.
Shot in glorious black-and-white, the comedy managed to be both a spoof and a loving homage to the Universal horror films — 1931's "Frankenstein" and 1935's "The Bride of Frankenstein," both directed by James Whale, and 1939's "Son of Frankenstein," directed by Rowland V. Lee that starred Boris Karloff as the monster.
Brooks co-wrote the Oscar-nominated script with the film's star, Gene Wilder, who had starred in Brooks' 1967 classic "The Producers" and 1974's "Blazing Saddles."
Wilder played the arrogant Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, who had so distanced himself from his family that he insisted his last name be pronounced "Frankensteen." But when the good doctor visits the old family castle in Europe, it isn't long before he creates his own monster (Peter Boyle).
Rounding out the cast of crazzies were Madeline Kahn as Frederick's tightly wound fiancee, Elizabeth; Marty Feldman as "Eye-Gore;" Cloris Leachman as the terrifying Frau Blucher; Teri Garr as the saucy Inga; Kenneth Mars as the one-armed Inspector Kemp; and Gene Hackman as the blind hermit.
Brooks, who has won Emmys, a Grammy, an Oscar and Tonys, put his hand and footprints in the famed TCL Chinese Theatre forecourt Monday morning as part of the film's 40th-anniversary celebration.
On Tuesday, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment released a new Bluray version of the film.
"I said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'I have an idea for a movie. It's about the grandson of Victor Frankenstein, and he wants nothing to do with the family, but sooner or later he will get sucked into the family insanity.'"
After filming ended that day on "Blazing Saddles," the two worked until 2 a.m. on ideas for "Young Frankenstein."
It was Wilder who came up with the idea for "Young Frankenstein." One day during production on "Blazing Saddles," Brooks saw Wilder sitting in a corner with a legal pad "scribbling something in his cowboy outfit," said Brooks.
"We were very excited about were we could go, the possibilities, what was au courant we could make fun
of," he said. "We both knew we had to salute (novelist) Mary Shelley as well as James Whale. We had respect for the book and the movie."
The film was originally set to be made at Columbia. But the studio executives nixed the idea of him shooting it in black-and-white like the original films. "I said then the deal is broken," noted Brooks.
"Young Frankenstein" quickly found a new home at Fox after the film's producer Michael Gruskoff gave the script to his friend Alan Ladd Jr., who had just taken over the reins of the studio. Dale Hennesy designed the sets that honored art director Charles D. Hall's original designs for "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein." Gerald Hirschfeld supplied the atmospheric black-and-white cinematography.
for added authenticity, Brooks found Kenneth Strickfaden, who had created the seminal electrical equipment for the original horror films, so he could use it in "Young Frankenstein."
"He had a garage in Santa Monica," noted Brooks. "I went to his garage, and there it was. He said, 'OK, let me turn it on.' He hit the switch, and it all went buzzzzz."
"I had a real problem," Brooks said. "I didn't want it to be just funny or silly. I wanted Mary Shelley's basic feelings captured and the ... haunting beautiful quality that James Whale got with Boris Karloff. My movies are
not about jokes. They are about behavior, and behavior can be very funny."
Brooks and Wilder had a disagreement over one of the movie's many iconic moments — Frederick and the monster decked out in top hat and tails performing "Puttin' on the Ritz."
Wilder, related Brooks,
"wanted to do 'Puttin' on the
Ritz' to show the prowess of
the talent of the monster. I
said no, no, no, we can't do
that. It will make it silly."
But Brooks gave in because Wilder "never stopped annoying me," he said, laughing. "We shot it, put it in the picture, and we loved it."
When he screened the rough cut of "Young Frankenstein" to a small audience on the Fox lot, he warned them that at nearly 2 hours long, the movie "would be a total failure," but said if they came back in a month, it would be "a brilliant, funny, remarkable success."
During that month in the editing bay, "I did my homework," said Brooks, who realized that there was too much comedy in the film. He cut the weaker comic moments and "spaced out when I wanted the audience to breathe out and relax. I got the rhythm of the movie right."
"Young Frankenstein," he said, is "by far the best movie I ever made. Not the funniest — 'Blazing Saddles' was the funniest, and hot on its heels would be 'The Producers.' But as a writer-director, it is by far my finest."

THE DAILY DEBATE
Which Kansas football player impressed you the most in the season opener?
By Kirsten Peterson
@KeepUpWithKP
"MONTELL COZART"
The Kansas Jayhawks grasped their fourth-straight season opener win Saturday night with spectacular performances from senior wide receiver Nick Harwell and sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart.
Harwell and Cozart's incredible chemistry surprised us all. Cozart found Harwell in the end zone to mark his first career touchdown pass, followed by a 10-yard pass moments later to pull a 24-0 lead against the Redhawks. The Jayhawks won the game, 34-28.
Cozart set new career-high passing numbers in yards, attempts and completions going 12-for-24 with three touchdowns.
Harwell had a great performance Saturday night debuting crimson and blue for the first time, but he is no stranger to success. Harwell set the Miami (Ohio) University school record with receiving 219 yards in a game as a freshman. All our expectations were already sky-high for this transfer.
On the other hand, Cozart impressed us all with his confidence and leadership starting on the field as a sophomore. With Cozart's redshirt ripped off in the middle of the season last year, he ended up starting
+
three of the seven games he played in.
Plus, we all can't forget Cozart's first-career start vs. West Virginia last year, which helped the Jayhawks end their 27-game conference losing streak, snatching their first Big 12 game victory in two years.
Cozart told the Kansas City Star in February of last year that a big reason he chose Kansas was reuniting with former Bishop Miege High School coach Tim Grunhard, the former offensive line coach. However, Grunhard stepped down at the end of the season and was replaced by John Reagan, formerly the offensive line coach at Rice University.
"I have more confidence in this offense, because I ran it in high school and I was more familiar with the spread," Cozart said (via cjonline.com). "When coach Reagan came in, that gave me a little more confidence. With coach Weis' offense, it would have been the same, but this offense is a lot more fun. It gives me a lot more freedom. I can go through up to three progressions, then if no one is open I can scramble."
Not since Todd Reesing led the Jayhawks to a victory in the 2008 Insight Bowl have Jayhawk fans had such high expectations for a quarterback, but Cozart is committed to meeting those expectations with his confidence and the athletic ability that is destined to change history.

"NICK HARWELL"
When senior wide receiver Nick Harwell was selected by the team to be a captain this summer, he had never suited up for a Jayhawks football game. But after one game, it's clear why he was selected for the leadership role.
Harwell took his role as the offense's chief and ran with it Saturday in the Jayhawks' 34-28 win against Southeast Missouri State. Quarterback Montell Cozart was looking for Harwell early and often.
On the Jayhawks' third drive, the transfer wide receiver and the sophomore quarterback connected on a well-executed corner route from six yards out to put Kansas on top 17-0. Harwell's second touchdown of the first quarter came on an out-route inside the 10-yard line, where he was clearly Cozart's first option, as he stared him down all the way through the route.
Cozart kept looking Harwell's way, too. Harwell got in space multiple times in the second half, including once on a post near the goal line and another on a deep fade route, but the two couldn't quite connect on either play. That's likely a facet of the Jayhawks' offense that will grow as the season progresses.
At the end of the day,
Harwell notched four receptions for 46 yards and two
touchdowns on eight targets. Harwell's performance was so raved about that he overshadowed a nice day for his senior counterpart, Tony Pierson, who came up with four receptions for 95 yards, including a 67-vard receiving touchdown.
Maybe most impressive was Harwell recovering the Redhawks' onside kick after they had scored to make it a one-possession game. The ball rattled around the Jayhawks' special teams crew, shaking Memorial Stadium, but Harwell eventually jumped on it, letting Cozart and the offense run out the remainder of the clock effortlessly.
The fact that Harwell seamlessly transitioned into Kansas' new offense in his first game — lining up out wide, in the slot and taking a reverse
for a few yards — shows just how important he's going to be to the entire offensive staff, including Cozart under center.
Last week, Harwell said he was shooting for the Biletnikoff Award, which is attributed to the nation's outstanding college football wide receiver every season. Harwell was placed on the award's watch list this summer.
With his performance Saturday, Harwell made a resounding effort toward that award, and possibly many more accolades beyond that.

COMMENTARY Coach Bill Self eyes top recruit for 2015 season
By Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
Kansas is on its way to another impressive incoming freshman class this season thanks to Bill Self's strong recruiting skills with Cliff Alexander leading the way as Kansas' second top-three prospect in the last two years. Self hopes to continue recruiting top prospects for the 2015 season.
No. 6 overall prospect Stephen Zimmerman, a top Kansas target, is a 7-foot center who was named the MVP of the Nike Global Challenge in August. He averaged 17.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game during the tournament.
Zimmerman is scheduled to come to Lawrence on Oct.10, one of his five officially scheduled college visits.
"The big thing I will be looking for on my visits is how I feel when I get to campus and see if I can see myself living there next year," Zimmerman said. "Just wanting to get the natural feel for where is right for me. A lot of players say it just feels right at a certain school. I'll most likely get to see practice and see around campus to see how I might fit."
Zimmerman is one of four top recruits that will be visiting Kansas and Kentucky within a week of each other. Jaylen Brown, Carlton Bragg and Brandon Ingram are also scheduled to visit. The four will travel to both schools together as a group.
"It just happens to be the midnight madness stuff at both schools, and that is usually the best time for recruits to visit and when coaches want players to see all the fun they have and when they want us to come," Zimmerman said.
Draftexpress.com describes Zimmerman as a mobile big-man with above-average passing skills and good ball-handling. Former Jayhawk Joel Embiid also was described with the same characteristics as a prospect.
Big men that can move, pass and score are ideal for a Bill Self high-low offense. Zimmerman is also a talented shooter, which makes him valuable at power forward because of his ability to stretch the floor and knock down perimeter shots.
With only one of the top 10 recruits signed for the 2015 class so far, there are still many visits and discussions to be had. In the last three years, Kansas has signed 15 recruits and they are looking to carry that success over to 2015.

The No. 24 Kansas women's volleyball team (6-1) won in four sets, 25-23, 17-25, 26-24, 25-19, in a tougher-thananticipated matchup with the UMKC Kangaroos (4-3) on Tuesday night at Horejsi Family Athletics Center. It wasn't always pretty, but the Jayhawks still managed to secure a win heading into this weekend's Villanova Classic.

MOVING FORWARD
By Betsy Tampke
The best thing about traveling around Central America were the people. They were cool vagabonds, vacationing middle-agers, and full on weirdos. I met them everywhere—riding in the ferry, hiking to a waterfall, searching for the proper bus station, or simply staying in a hostel.
My favorite hostels feel like islands (them being located on an actual island is inessential but obviously a clear plus). They have little to no internet connection, no television, and sometimes not even private rooms. In addition to offering little to no privacy, these hostels also steal away every other form of outside entertainment, leaving everyone with no choice but to grab a book, play cards, or swap stories with the 6-20 other people they find themselves surrounded by.
At any one gathering it is common to have three languages (at least) weave in and out of each other like a complicated lopsided braid, each member trying to be conscious of the language that the other members speak best. The two dominating languages are Spanish and English as almost everyone present is proficient in at least one of these. However, no one's second language is perfect and this leaves many native-English speakers occasionally translating for the native-Spanish speakers and vice versa. Additionally, the Europeans (usually, though not always, Dutch, German, or French) will exchange quick words and phrases to each other in their native tongues that (much to my dismay) no one can understand but them. I like to imagine that these gatherings are like United Nations meetings. That is, if every United Nations delegate was an early 20 to late 30 something year-old with limited income, sparse education, and a propensity to gravitate towards dangerous activities (such as deep jungle hiking, surfing, cliff diving, waterfall repelling, and riding local buses at night). Actually, United Nations should look into some kind of international bonding activity like this because after spending many-a-night surrounded by people from France, England, Canada, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Colombia, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Bulgaria, and Venezuela, I actually have greater respect for their countries and I don't think there was a single argument among us. Wait, no there was one argument (it was about smoking and we entered into it by accident).
In his or her own way every traveler is different. Some people work on boats. Some people work temp jobs. Some people are waiters and waitresses. Some people don't work at all anymore. Some people are students. Some people are about to be students. And other people just seem to have money for no reason.
They are from everywhere and have been everywhere. They are from uptight wealthy families and poor dilapidated ones. They got straight A's and went to good universities to make their parents proud and they started drinking at age 12, dated 20-somethings in their teenage years, have over five tattoos, and never graduated high school. They worked as a librarian for 5 years before they decided to quit their job and travel. They've never worked a day in their life. They have been to Argentina and hiked through Patagonia. They saw Machu Picchu. They answer questions about Russia and Thailand and tell stories about how when they were in China they were waiting in line for two hours to get train tickets only to have the clerk see that they were white and shut the gate on them.
They are more adventurous than me—or perhaps more idiotic than me, but in the world of travelers sometimes that line feels blurred. They paid Captain Shay $5 to ride between cows and pigs in the bottom of his boat to avoid a $30 ferry. They showed up to Costa Rica without any clear sort of plan. They took a "Chicken Bus". They climbed down into that bat cave the hostel owner took a group of us to, while I stood by the mouth and watched with my mother's voice pleading don't do anything reckless playing over and over again in my head. They are proud of their adventure-hood—wearing the places they have been and near death experiences they have survived like patches on a boy-scout uniform—and they are unashamed of the amount of time they have spent un-rooted.
They travel in pairs—as couples or friends. They travel in groups of three or four. They travel completely alone. They travel to work. They travel to study. They travel to find themselves, and they travel to lose themselves.
They leave behind wives, husbands, fiancés, girlfriends, boyfriends, siblings, and children. Some of them have been traveling for so long that they don't leave anyone behind anymore when they go. When we asked a late fifty-something year-old—jan about if she ever had a husband or children she shook her head and laughed.
"I forgot," she said and shrugged her shoulders.
Yes, everyone is different. Just as every country is different and every bus is different and every time I try to turn on a hostel kitchen stove it's different. But in another way every one I've met and me are all exactly the same.
We're all running away. Running away, hiding,
escaping, avoiding, evading, whatever you want

VOICES FROM ABROAD
ALEX JAUMANN journalism & Fil
Scotland is a beautiful country with very friendly people and lots of sights to see, and for those that want to travel, London, Dublin and Western Europe are just a short (and cheap) flight away. The number of outdoor opportunities was surprising to me. Between voie to Stirling Castle, in the Highlands or even just jogging around the city, there are lots of opportunities to get outide, stay active and see some

Going abroad enabled me to experience a true cultural shift entirely different from my own. It enabled me to gain independence and confidence in my own abilities. I now feel comfortable in situations that before I went abroad would have stressed me out beyond belief. Instead of focusing inwardly on my own life and goals, I now have an expanded awareness of the world around me, and it's allowed me to to much more so on how I can have a positive impact on other people.
I am a person who values self-esteem and personal growth. I believe in the power of reflection and self-reflection to help me achieve my goals and develop my skills. I am committed to living life with purpose and passion, and I will work hard to realize my dreams.
My experience in Costa Rica made me feel more prepared to take on whatever will come my way post-graduation. I realized just how adaptable can be. I feel more ready to take on unexpected challenges in a work environment. I learned that there is not a right or wrong when it comes to cultures, they are merely different. Once you learn to accept this idea it becomes at least easier to immerse yourself into a whole new world.

The best part about studying abroad is being able to experience something completely unique, even within your area of study outside of language. While in Costa Rica I was able to take a major level Biology course in which we studied in the country's rain forest—something that is definitely not possible to do in Kansas.

taking classes abroad is what makes studying abroad so unique. Rather than just visiting country, I was truly living in it. I took my classes in Spanish so they were more difficult than they might have been in English. It was also difficult at times to balance having fun in a new place while keeping on top of my class work. All in all through taking classes abroad gave me a unique experience! I could truly not abroad

My advice to serpentine about to go abroad is to go into this adventure with an open mind! Be flexible and take advantage of every opportunity you are given because when you even going to be able to do this again? One night in the dorms, some of my Hungarian friends taught me how to make Goulash, a traditional Hungarian dish. I will always remember this moment because it wasn't just a monument or a tourist attraction; it was a unique and immersive experience.

Studying abroad in college is one of the best opportunities you will get to explore the world. Not only can you learn more about cultures found outside of the United States but you can also discover something new about yourself. One of my favorite things to do in London was visiting the museums, where I was able to connect with strangers through our mutual appreciation for art and history.

The most rewarding part for me was being able to experience how life at another university was. It was amazing to engage in class discussions on Foreign Policy and other issues affecting the world in a culture and classroom so different from the one I was used to.

I was studying Persian language during my summer abroad, so my class schedule consisted of grammar, conversation and literature courses. It was an intensive immersion program, so I was in classes for about four hours a day and it was also able to practice my language on the bus on the way to school, with my host family, and at the bazaar outside of class. While this may sound like a lot, it really didn't feel overwhelming eventually it began to feel normal and I really got used to speaking in Persian in my everyday life.

to call it—at the core it's all the same. We leave behind different things, for different amounts of time, and linger in different places but we all have that same fearful-hungry look behind our eyes if you stare at us for long enough. A fear of being still. A fear of staying stuck.
I stayed up late one night in a hostel talking to a Swedish girl, Glovanna, who used to work in a French circus and just recently quit her job teaching English in an international school in Costa Rica.
Burning she said. And I understood, but what a way to describe it—as if a flame has ignited within her and threatens to scorch her from the inside out if she doesn't keep on moving. We were all burning like that. We need to keep on running, self-producing wind to blow the flame low enough for long enough so we can protect ourselves from ever really being singed.
"I have this feeling," she said to me. "I wish I didn't It's like a burning."
“It’s very...” she continued. “I don't know the word I feel... en español es inquieto.”
"I don't know."
Well of course we are unquiet. If we weren't we would be stationary. We would be able to peacefully and indefinitely stay in our carefully constructed nests of friends, family, and familiarity. We wouldn't need to see and do more. We wouldn't need to fill ourselves up with jumps from water-falls and potential run-ins with wild boars. We saturate our minds so thoroughly we aren't left to think about anything else.
"Unquiet?" I offered.
"I think that maybe I am scared to get a job," she said. "That now I won't like any form of work."
New. More. Different. Dangerous. What does Lonely Planet say? Let's go. I'm down. Where are you guys from?
And she said this with so much sincerity, embarrassment, and fear that I wanted to cry for her. She was grasping at herself in the dark, unable to understand anything she was touching. The source of her burning was cold, shrouded, and unknowable—she was running on fear.
I understood her feeling, but burning like that felt so distant to me now, more vague than the memory of a dream. My burning wasn't a fire, dark and deadly, my burning had long been traded for a steady simmering coal. After being abroad for six months my burning had receded and could be contained, comfortably deep within my belly—even as I sat stationary. My coal still scorched a little, gently goading me to continue to go and
"I used to feel like that," I said.
do and see things, but it didn't feel so urgent anymore. I didn't need to run away for fear of not surviving. In fact, even though I was still traveling I didn't even really feel like I was running at all anymore. It was like reaching the sixth mile on a ten-mile run, when my body accepts that I might just keep running forever and seems to move without my agency.
In fact, with my little coal I feel like I could stop whenever I wanted to. Lay down roots. Grow nice and tall and deep. With branches intertwining so completely they were indistinguishable from the other trees around me. No really. I could. I can... just maybe not forever.
And many people burnt like me: the middle aged honey-mooners, some students in my program, the French/Spanish couple, the Spaniard in Costa Rican medical school.
More often than not, the most memorable people I met were middle-aged travelers. Not only because they were often quirky and shameless, but specifically because they were middle aged. They gave me the gift of showing me that I didn't need to be afraid of the future—that graduation isn't a death sentence and the journey never really has to end. Even if you can only steal weeks at a time out of your life, adventures can continue forever. Burning isn't just for the young and reckless. Running can be a lifetime sport.
And others burnt like Glovanna: the American marine-turned-builder-turned-actor-turned-divive-master-turned-sailor-wild-life-expert in Panama, the former German pro-skater who lost everything in a massive injury, the New Yorker who hasn't lived anywhere for more than a year in the last decade, the Canadian who sold his house and took a permanent leave of absence from his work.
traveling—more specifically studying abroad through KU—has quenched and sparked and transformed my burning. It's been the best and most challenging experience of my life. But unlike so many other things I have been a part of, traveling hasn't left me with nostalgia—looking back with my neck craned and eyes hungry for a lost image. Instead it leaves me springing forward, excited to jump into a bright new world. After traveling I'm no longer scared of getting a job or growing up, and—to speak against a popular cliché for my age group—I'm definitely not scared of graduating.
The burning in people ranges from wild fire to candle. It burns for days, weeks, months, years, and life times. It's fueled by fear, love, desire, and ambition. And it manifests itself in traveling.

STUDYING A LESS COMMONLY TAUGHT LANGUAGE ABROAD
By Ben Ale-Ebrahim
This summer I spent two months abroad studying Persian language in Dushanbe, Tajikistan with the American Councils for International Education. As a KU student, I was able to take advantage of several on-campus opportunities available for anyone interested in Less Commonly Taught Languages, which include Persian, Arabic, Swahili, Chinese, and Russian, among many others. One of the best resources for learning these languages are KU's various area studies centers, including the Center for Global and International Studies, the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies and the Kansas African Studies Center. If you haven't considered learning a language like Uyghur or Amharic before, and you are interested in a non-traditional study abroad experience, contact one of these centers and take advantage of the great language learning
opportunities on campus before you even leave Lawrence. If you are currently enrolled in one of these language classes, think about studying abroad – this is a great way to put your language skills to use and get that all-important immersion experience. Even though I was only in Tajikistan for two months, I was able to learn two semesters' worth of Persian simply because I was using the language all day, every day, not just in my classroom. Finally, there are several scholarship opportunities available to study these languages – including FLAS, Boren, and CLS – that KU students have been awarded in the past that help fund these life-changing experiences. If you want to learn more about studying abroad in a lesscommonly taught language, stop by the Study Abroad Info Center and we can find the right program for you.

SCUBA DIVE IN BONAIRE
By Jackie Langdon
This winter break, students can get out of the cold and study Marine Biology in Bonaire. Students will have the opportunity to scuba dive in one of the most bio-diverse coral reefs in the world and receive academic credit. KU professor and excursion leader, Dr. James Thorp, said he considers this opportunity a must on any person's bucket list.
"It is a phenomenal experience. Students who have gone on these trips in the past come back terribly excited about what they have seen and their general experience," said Thorp.
The island of Bonaire is a special municipality of the Netherlands and is located off the northern coast of South America in the Caribbean Sea. It is a semi-desert island which is noted for its rich coral and real communities and is highly favored by scuba divers.
Study Abroad Program Coordinator Mari Keyser said this program is one of the only KU programs

offered in the Caribbean and is a good opportunity for students to learn more about aquatic life. Students will have the opportunity to dive twice a day on marine field trips. In addition, students will attend short lectures and other land excursions to get credit for BIOL 418/701.
"Students obtain more knowledge from diving on a coral reef than they ever could in a classroom setting on campus," said Thorp.
This study abroad opportunity is available to students of all majors who have a 2.5 GPA. Participants need to be good swimmers and scuba certified before the trip begins in January. Applications for the program are due October 1 and can be completed online at https://ku.studioabroad.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.ViewProgram&Program_ID=10127.

Resolution condemns University policy

Emma Halling, interim student body president, holds back tears as she addresses Student Senate. On Wednesday, the Senate passed a resolution condemning the University for its handling of sexual assault cases.
Student Senate unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday that condemns the University for its handling of reported sexual assaults. It was written and presented by Emma Halling, interim student body president.
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
"If you are a victim of rape at this University, you are treated like a liability and not a human being," Halling said.
In the middle of her speech about the resolution, Halling, a senior from Elkhart, Ind., held back tears as she told senators and present administrators of her own sexual assault story.
She said she was sexually assaulted in high school, but coping as a survivor has been difficult for her on campus.
"For people who don't think sexual assault and rape are traumatizing, let me tell you what it looks like," Hal-
ling said. "It looks like walking down the boulevard and thinking you see someone who looks like your assailant, and being immediately transported back to that situation."
Halling has been vocal in her condemnation of the University since The Huffington Post article detailing how the University handled one sexual assault case was published. On Wednesday she was not only one of the loudest critics of the University, but spoke as a survivor.
She said she wants people to realize the breadth and depth of the subject. Halling said she knows it can really impede a student's ability to succeed at the University, and it's something she can speak to personally.
"It is traumatic," Halling said. "It inhibits your ability to pursue an education, and we are not doing a damn thing about it."
It was clear that those who spoke about the sexual assault situation were ready for a change. Halling and Angela Murphy, Student Senate graduate affairs director, have been serving on the Title IX Roundtable since its creation last fall.
Murphy, who is the treasurer and development director for the roundtable, said she hasn't felt like student policy change suggestions have been taken seriously.
Halling, Murphy and Interim Student Body Vice President Tyler Childress sat down Friday afternoon with the Chancellor and the provost.
Halling said she was inspired by the conversations at the meeting. She said the Chancellor was interested in every detail of the process and that the three students were able to provide a lot of input.
Murphy said she is optimistic and believes that this is the right climate for the
McQueeny: Sexual assault sanctions differ by case

The University recommends sexual assault sanctions case by case, however, there are currently no specific sanctions laid out for sexual misconduct.
The two pictures on Jane McQueeny's iPad showed a dozen deep red and purple bruises looped around the neck and shoulders of a young woman who had been restrained and sexually assaulted by a male student.
The photos were evidence in a May 2012 investigation by McQueeny, the executive director of the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, who used the photos to describe the type of case she said would warrant an expulsion. However, unlike other schools, the University doesn't have written guidelines outlining specific punishments for perpetrators of sexual assault.
"The cases that have warranted expulsion have been cases where there has been some bruising, some strangulation marks," McQueeny said. "So any kind of sexual assault, we're probably going to recommend expulsion."
As a result of the case described above, the male student was banned from student housing.
But because the case was reported about a week before graduation, McQueeny said he had already graduated by the time the investigation completed. McQueeny said she recommend that he be banned from campus in the future.
"Well, it was too late," McQueen said. "He was graduating."
Some universities, as recommended by a White House task force issued in April, have adopted separate and comprehensive sexual misconduct policies that outline specific sanctions.
Ohio University's policy requires a minimum of one-semester suspension for a sexual misconduct violation, a minimum one-year suspension if there was any physical contact, and students can expect expulsion if there was any form of penetration.
At the University of Iowa, for example, the sanctioning guidelines for sexual assault state that, "Sanctions for non-consensual sexual intercourse will normally range from multi-semester suspension to expulsion from the university, with expulsion being the most likely sanction. Aggravating factors — such as the use of force, intentional incapacitation (using alcohol, drugs, or by other means), or intimidation — will lead to the most severe sanctions, according to the policy."

At the University of Kansas, however, there are currently no specific sanctions laid out for sexual misconduct. Sexual assault falls under a sexual harassment policy. Sexual assault cases follow the Discrimination Complaint Resolution Process, along with 16 other forms of discrimination such as age, religion, and veteran status.
A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE SINCE 1880
At Mississippi State University, the sanctions for students found guilty of sexual assault range from a minimum of suspension for one year to a maximum of permanent expulsion. Any student suspended under this policy must, as a condition of returning to the university, submit to the Dean of Students proof of successful completion of counseling by a licensed mental health professional and the results of a psychological evaluation.
For any type of discrimination, the process states, under a heading labeled "consequences," that "Members of the University community who are found to have violated the University Nondiscrimination Policy are subject to disciplinary actions appropriate to their status as faculty, staff, or student employees or as students."

Grow KU wins re-election
Grow KU presidential candidate Morgan Said and vice presidential candidate Miranda Wagner won Tuesday and Wednesday's re-election. They will resume office after joint senate next Wednesday.
The Elections Commission released the results Wednesday night. Said, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., and Wagner, a senior from Shawnee, received 552 votes. Crimson and True's Kevin Hundelt, a senior from St. Louis, Mo., and Sara Anees, a senior from Wichita, received 307 votes.
The results will be certified by the Elections Commission on Monday, which allows joint senate, where the previous senate turns over power to the new senate, to happen next Wednesday before committees begin that night.
Said said she is ready to get back in the office and continue work the administration
had already started. Said, Wagner and their executive staff had been in office since May and were removed when the Appeals Panel of the University Judicial Board ordered a new election.
"We are so ready to get back to work," Said said.
"This sexual assault policy change is absolutely something we will continue working on..."
"This sexual assault policy change is absolutely something we will continue working on throughout the duration of the year," Said said.

KU officer diversity at all-time high
ALANA FLINN
@alf_1212
In light of the racial divide among officers and citizens in Ferguson, Mo., the KU Public Safety Office reported its fall 2014 staff is more diverse than before.
There are four female officers, as well as one Asian officer, two African-American officers and two Hispanic officers.
Director of Public Safety and Chief of Police Ralph Oliver said he thinks this diversity will improve relations among
students and officers.
"It's important that any police department reflect its community," Oliver said. "When you're reflecting your community, that means that your officers are able to interact, and they're able to function well within that demographic."
POLICE
JOHN GRIFFIN/KANSAN
From left. KU Public Safety Officers Sam Olker, Jacob Hout and Jamie Johnson meet for roll call on Tuesday.
Oliver said his officers were knowledgeable and sensitive to this topic even before Ferguson occurred.
"One thing that we're doing, and I hate to say since Ferguson, because we've been doing this even before Ferguson, is to make contact with our community and to get out more and be available more so people feel more comfortable with us," Oliver said. "Students are our community. We're here to support your educational desires and the University's initiatives to fill those desires. That's what we focus on."
Oliver said having four female officers in the department is extremely rare, as applicants are typically white males. Female and minority officers are usually recruited to larger departments in more diverse areas, such as Dallas or New York.
"Probably in the last 20 years, we have only had four female officers on the force," Oliver said. "We ended up hiring, in a
six-month period, four female officers. "That's shocking."
Freshman Rachel Abercrombie from Eden Prairie, Minn., likes the addition of the female officers.
"I feel more comfortable talking to someone who is the same gender and can relate more in a sense," Abercrombie said. "It's just different when a female is on the same level as you and has a similar understanding and could potentially have gone through a similar situation."
While University statistics for the fall of 2014 are not yet published, the KU Office of Institutional Research and Planning reported 6,173 racial minority students attending classes on the Lawrence and Edwards campuses during last spring semester. Approximately half of all students were female.

from Overland Park, said he still notices predominantly white male officers.
"I haven't noticed the increase in diversity personally, but if this is true, they need to make sure these PSOs [Public Safety Officers] are visible to students," Cota said.
"Students feel comfortable identifying with these diverse public safety officials," Cota said. "The PSOs need to keep in mind there are students who are different in racial composition from their officers."
Cota said the large student minority population should motivate the officers to interact more frequently with students.
Hybrid, flipped courses allow students to learn from home
- Edited by Emily Brown
LAUREN METZLER
@MetzlerLauren
Many hybrid classes are currently offered through the University in a variety of formats and engagement levels. Being uneasy with the idea of non-traditional classes is understandable, but hybrid classes are far from intimidating.
This semester, Marlee Slaughter, a junior from San Mateo, Calif., is taking a hybrid finance class. Her class is set up so she has to watch online video lectures, complete online assessments three times a week and attend a two-hour lecture on Thursdays.
She said she spends a lot more time on online materials than she would if she only had to go to a lecture twice a week
“It’s nice because you can listen and pause if you want to take notes on something.” Slaughter said. “You can go at your own pace even if it takes longer, which is a bummer.”
In addition to the hybrid format, the University also offers flipped classes. In a flipped class, homework is done in the classroom with the help of a professor and lecture material is taught online outside of class "in their jammies at 2 a.m. should they wish," said Chris Hauffler, Dean's Project Leader for Educational Innovation and Course Redesign.
Haufer works closely with alternative formats, as well as working to bring them to the classroom. Instructors have complete freedom over how their course is run, and Haufer hopes that more instructors choose to take advantage of the services.
One resource available to instructors looking to revamp their courses is the Center for Teaching Excellence, located in 135 Budig. Haufler has office hours there and is even part of a group of instructors, called C21, who meet to discuss successful and unsuccessful strategies they've tried in the classroom.
Another aspect of course innovation are PhD consultants who are hired to work with different departments and help instructors utilize tools and strategies to make their classrooms more engaging and accessible. For seasoned instructors, like Haufler, this can be easier said than done.
"I was trained to give lectures, so that's what I'm comfortable with. When I go into a classroom where students are going to be working amongst themselves, and I'm supposed to be helping them in this process, it's a new world," Haulfer
said.
Although it took some adjusting, Haufler is an advocate for alternative learning.
"And yet, I recognize that it's the right thing to do," Hauler said. "It just means a lot of time invested on my part to change the way that I'm approaching the work that I do as a professor."
Hybrid courses have been tested scientifically in the study, "Improved Learning in a Large-Enrollment Physics Class" by Louis Deslauriers, Ellen Schelew and Carl Wieman. In this study, fostering group work and critical thinking with active instructor interaction resulted in higher attendance, engagement and increased learning.
"The message that we need to send is the data is demonstrating that this is an enhanced way of helping students achieve what they're supposed to at an institution like KU," Haufler said.
For more information on hybrid classes offered through the University, go to classes. ku.edu.

We have had plenty of education about alcohol...people just choose to ignore the possible consequences. But alcohol-fueled rape is still rape.
I once woke up early enough to see the UDK being distributed. It was magical.
We are starting a sign language club and it will be AWESOME
I think my biggest motivation for going to class every day is being able to pick up a UDK
Protip: when you have to pack into a full bus, hold your backpack at your feet. You can even stand two wide in the upper deck with all the extra space.
I just want Ivory to know that there is someone who does care, and there are more. I'm very sorry about what happen to you.
I don't know why freshman feel like they NEED to come into class right at the 10 til mark... We're still ending ours. Your class isn't that exciting and you know it
The answer to if men's bathrooms have consent explained on the walls is no. Typically there are drawings of dicks and phone numbers labeled, "call for a good time".
Rape happens to people no matter their sexual identity. EVERYONE needs to be informed on what rape is and what consent means
I wonder how many people were actually saved from the people yelling at everyone saying they're going to hell. Pretty sure zero.
Visual representation more effective for raising awareness
I have never felt as inspired by my fellow students as I have over the past two weeks. After the articles about the University mishandling two different sexual assault cases broke last week, I wasn't sure what to expect. I hoped for students to be angry about it and to care, but I was not prepared for the absolute resolve that many took in trying to get KU to reform its sexual assault case practices. Through social media, public forums and word of mouth, we as students have made a difference.
The key to re-folding your UDK in the wind is to remain calm. It can sense your anguish.
The thing is though, it's not enough. Not yet.
The kid next to me is eating an entire thing of,chips ahoy for lunch. Now that's a meal of champions
Zenger: "Who run Barter Town?" Bernadette Gray-Little: "Sheahon Zenger! Sheahon Zenger runs Barter Town."
On the front page we have articles condemning victim blaming, on the 4th page we have a cartoon blaming victims of sex crimes...
With the age of social media, things tend to go viral and then die out quietly. People post
Running on 2 hours of sleep and still feel more energized than I would as if I was on 8
hashtags or sign petitions and then move on with their lives until the next cause catches students' attention. There are few times students put themselves out there, not as a Twitter handle, but as their physical self.
IOA and KU need to stop with all this "non-consensual sex" bull... its called rape. And what's your happening to your students and you're just ignoring the problem
Still waiting for the UDK to challenge me with a sudoku I haven't been able to master.
During Sulkowicz's sophomore year of college, a classmate raped her in her dorm room. When she reported the rape, Columbia dismissed the case and she was left without justice, forced to continue attending classes with her rapist.
Maybe that's why I was so impressed by Columbia University student Emma Sulkowicz when I saw her project in New York Magazine.
For her senior thesis,
By Anna Wenner
@Anna. Wenner
Sulkowicz decided to carry her dorm mattress everywhere she went until she no longer attends the same school as her rapist. The idea of doing a project like this was to bring her mattress, an object that usually is hidden in a private space, out into the public sphere. Much like the mattress, sexual assault is a topic often hidden behind closed doors. It is only recently that our campus has opened up a dialogue and really begun
to discuss the way KU has mishandled sexual assault cases. It is only until recently that survivors have told their stories and that the student body has paused to listen.
The dialogue has still been behind closed doors, metaphorically. Most of the discussion has taken place over social media, and while people are technically sharing their opinions on the Internet, it isn't as powerful as sharing an opinion face to face with another person. Sulkowicz's project shows how much power a physical and visual representation can have for sexual assault survivors. A physical presence shows a personal commitment to the cause of reforming sexual assault policies far
more than any tweet or Facebook post ever can.
The public forum on Tuesday at the Ecumenical Campus Ministries was a good start to approaching this problem in a more personal, present way. I hope to see more events like this that give students a chance to step out from behind social media and really make this cause visible on campus. Hashtags and discussions are great, but they're not enough, especially if they stop now. This isn't another viral video — it's the safety of our campus. If we don't show that we care, who will?

Gym etiquette important at Ambler
As a college student,
I have one sacred place where I can work off all my stress and anxiety: the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. The rec is a place for me to get rid of all the crap that has put me in a bad mood throughout the day. However, the lack of gym etiquette I've seen during my latest rec visits has left me even more stressed and angry. The rec is where students go to get in shape and relieve stress, but this becomes difficult when students lack common courtesy for their peers.
When you're at the rec, try to avoid taking social laps at the gym. Running laps is great, but don't just wander around looking for people to socialize with. You are just taking space away from those who actually came to the gym to work out. If you want to have a social hour, go shopping, out to eat or somewhere on Mass Street.
Throwing your weights on the ground is another way
By Anissa Fritz
@Anissa Fritz
to disrespect those around you. We get it: you're tough and want everyone to know it. But you shouldn't be slamming your weights to the ground. It is noisy and distracting, and makes it seem as if they are too heavy for you.
Having your phone with you is fine; everyone needs a little break every now and then. However, seeing you take 15-minute breaks in between workouts to check Instagram, Twitter or other social media makes me wonder why you came to the gym in the first place. Your social life will still be there after you get your pump, I promise.
their water bottles to mark their territory. It has become popular to leave your water bottle on a piece of equipment that you're not even using. Gym machines are already limited, and it's a hassle for others who can't use the equipment they want because someone's water bottle is holding up the line.
Last, but certainly not least, is people who use
The rec center is a student sanctuary for many different reasons. For some, it's to get that "revenge body" on an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend. For others, it's a place to relieve tension and work through all the unfair cards the day has dealt. By considering these etiquette tips, you can maintain the gym as a place where stress goes to die, not an environment where anxiety rises and grunts are out of frustration instead of exhaustion.

KU libraries provide services suited to a variety of needs
No one understands the importance of a library more than college students. So many things factor into a good library: location, hours, noise and snacks. The list is endless. Here at the University of Kansas, we are privileged enough to have several libraries, but two really stand out. Both Watson Library and Anschutz Library house a countless amount of books, contain remarkable resource centers and offer dead-silent study rooms. However, every person has their favorite spot, and both offer completely different things.
Watson is the place I go when it is crunch time and I need to get things done. It is the place where I can buckle down and finish my work without distractions. If spotted in Watson, I am alone, tucked in a corner with my face buried in work. Everyone is there for one goal, and that is to work. Because the library isn't open twenty-four hours, students can be there until closing time in order to finish procrastinated assignments.
To me, Anschutz has a more relaxed study feel, specifically on the third floor. It is where I can hang out with my friends, enjoy a latte and tinker with homework here and there. In Anschutz, I'm not scared of dropping a book or letting out a sneeze. The chairs are much more cozy,
No matter where you study, KU's libraries are filled with incredible and knowledgeable staff members who are ready to help whenever it's needed. I can't count the number of times I have chatted with the librarians about research questions or advice on particular books. They are the secret to any great research project.
Don't wait until your first midterm to check out our libraries. Take some time out of these first few weeks of school to visit Watson and Anschutz. Introduce yourself to the librarians, investigate the stacks and figure out for yourself which one you prefer.

However, on the first and second floors you will find an environment similar to Watson's. These floors are meant for quiet study and independent work. But if I had to make a deadline, I would rather head to Watson because the third floor of Anschutz is too distracting.

Tractor tradition passes down generations

From left, Becky Ast, Ike Taylor, Darlene Taylor and Benton Taylor talk about their experiences with the Power of The Past Engine & Tractor Show. Ike has been showcasing his tractors in the show every year for the past decade.
BEN LIPOWTIZ/KANSAN
Ike and Darlene Taylor have been going to the Power of The Past Antique Engine & Tractor Show in Ottawa for about 10 years. Ike brings tractors to showcase in a tractor parade the festival features. He has restored and owns a few 1940s and '50s tractors he keeps at their home in Baldwin. Ike's oldest tractor is a 1927.
"It is [tradition] for us," Darlene said. Darlene's family started going with her father to the show since he's always been interested in antiques. He was very involved in the Ottawa show until he had his stroke four years ago, Darlene said.
The city of Ottawa has hosted Power of the Past since around 1995. This year, it will be held from Friday, Sept. 12, to Sunday, Sept. 14, at Forest Park in Ottawa. The event's mission is to provide a look into the past through its different demonstrations.
Aside from tradition, Ike goes because of his profession while Darlene gravitates more toward old trinkets that vendors bring to sell. Ike said it's a good place to buy parts and they have trailers full of old tractor parts you can go around and pick through to get what you want.
"I go just to see people and mostly hen and chicken things, antique stuff," Darlene said. "They have a flea market there. I got an old creamer there last year and it's going to be so cute whenever I just get the time to paint it. I'm going to paint it bright red and its got two bowls on it and have
flowers coming out of it."
"[My grandpa] used to bring a bicycle that was built for two people and me and my buddy, wed go and ride through the park and stuff on his antique bicycle, it was all rusted," Benton said.
Ike and Darlene are the parents of Benton Taylor. Benton has been going to the festival on and off since he was young.
Benton's girlfriend, Becky Ast, a sixth-year KU student from Colwich, will attend the festival for the first time. Although Ast did not grow up in the same environment as the Taylors, she said she is looking forward to the

experience. She said growing up, she didn't really know anything about farming and she is interested to learn about
all the different tractors and is excited to see the parade.
As she begins in the tradition of the Power of The Past, Ast also said she could see herself
going regularly with Benton, who said he sees the festival as a learning opportunity.
"There's a lot of displays that a lot of the time you have no idea what's going on. If something's running out there, you go and you get to learn and talk to people and see if they're shucking corn or what's going on," Benton said.
Darlene said every year the festival turns into a sort of reunion for everyone who comes, and has made it a tradition just like the Tavlors.
said. "It's just really fun to see them again, to see how they're doing and catching up. Prior to going to the show, you never knew them. It's great to branch out and meet new people."

Extreme Midget Wrestling returns to Lawrence
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
Tonight the Granada Theater will host Extreme Midget Wrestling Federation.
"It's extreme, it's crazy; they really beat the heck out of each other and there's a good storyline to the show," said Jett Romain, the road manager for EMWF. "They're the best wrestlers in the industry. Without them we wouldn't be doing what we're doing."
Romain said their event started growing in Oklahoma and soon gained popularity throughout the country and they have been expanding to new areas. The event will feature about six different wrestlers.
For the wrestling event in Lawrence, there are several notable wrestlers lined up to enter the ring. Romain said one wrestler to watch for is Veteran Little "Nasty Boy," who has spent 32 years in the wrestling business, has been on Jerry Springer five times and was also a part of the WWE Mini Royal Rumble.
Another wrestler who will be featured is "The Mighty Mike Hawk," a 17-year veteran who has appeared in the movie "Catwalk II." "King Midget" will enter the spotlight as well, a wrestler Romain said is a rookie from Oklahoma City and an up and coming star.
Ryan Kass, a freshman from Calabasas, Calif., said he found out about EMWF from the app Yik Yak and became curious. Kass said,
"I googled it, and I realized they were coming to the Granada and I got really excited."
Kass said he plans to attend the event, and it should be a lot of fun.
Other students are more skeptical of a wrestling event coming to Lawrence. Katie Clerke, a freshman from St. Louis, said she heard about the event from her roommate. Clerke said she isn't going to attend because she doesn't like fighting on any level.
"I don't have anything against wrestlers, it's just a personal preference," she said.
Check back with Kansan.com for a follow-up interview with one of the wrestlers after the event.
The event is open for all ages. Tickets are $10 in advance and $20 for ringside tickets. Tickets can be purchased the day of for $12. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show will start at 8 p.m.
Jett said the match will be a USA vs. Canada triple-threat match for the EMWF heavyweight title belt. Romain said this event coincidentally happened to land on the date they will be in Lawrence.
Romain has released previously unknown information about the event in Lawrence.

"We're actually going to have a triple-threat match," he said.

Ice skating rink comes to Lawrence
AANVAIRIVER DIL
Construction for an ice rink has begun next to the Lawrence Public Library at 707 Vermont St.
CODY SCHMITZ
@Cody_Schmitz
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
In late November, students searching for something to do can head to the Lawrence Public Library — not to check out a book but to ice skate. The Parks and Recreation Department of Lawrence is installing a 60 by 80 foot, artificially surfaced ice skating rink in the library's plaza before the holiday season.
"It's something that is just very Lawrence," said Jimmy Gibbs, the recreation operations manager of Lawrence's Parks and Recreation Department. "It's fun, and it's something for the community."
The library's new plaza was created as a venue for activities like the ice skating rink in the winter, and a grass area in the summer to accommodate various functions. Gibbs said the Library Plaza will hold events like art shows, farmers markets and even live music.
The anticipated rink will be surfaced with synthetic ice. According to a report by the Parks Department, "synthetic ice is a plastic-like surface that is unaffected by temperature or weather changes." Gibbs said the department chose to use synthetic ice because unpredictable Kansas winters
don't allow refrigerated ice to be kept in an outdoor environment. Skaters will be allowed to use their own skates or rent skates at the facility, according to the report.
"I think it would be something fun to do besides going out to eat or to bars," said Garrett Fugate, a graduate student from St. Louis. "It will be something new to do on Mass Street."
Kendra Weinstein, a junior
from Overland Park, said she has skated several times before, but never on synthetic ice. She said if the ice rink is big enough, she would be interested in going there to skate once it opens.
"We see the University and the students as a very large component of our community," Gibbs said. "While the students are here, this is their home, and we hope that this will be a draw for University
students."
Gibbs said the rink will be open right before Thanksgiving and will stay open for an eight-week window from Thanksgiving to the first or second week of January. The rink will be open evenings and weekends, and may open up during weekdays for lessons and special events. The rink will be open to all ages.

Writer Graham Joyce dies from complications of cancer
| MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LONDON
LONDON Graham Joyce, one of Britain's best known fantasy writers, has died from complications of lymphoma cancer, an illness he had blogged about extensively. He was 59.
Joyce died Tuesday afternoon in a hospital near his home in Leicester, a city north of London, said Simon Spanton, associate publisher of the science fiction and fantasy imprint of Orion Books.
Several of his novels received the British Fantasy Award, including "Indigo," "The Tooth Fairy" and "Some Kind of Fairy Tale," which won last year. He also won an O. Henry Prize for short fiction and the World Fantasy
Award for "The Facts of Life."
Stephen King, who called him "a truly great novelist," was among those mourning him on Twitter.
"Cancer is a ferocious, dark force... She is required to do battle with that enemy, and the outcome is uncertain."
GRAHAM JOYCE Fantasy writer
Raised in the mining village Keresley, Joyce remembered himself as an uninspired student who "muddled" through school. But he loved writing and storytelling and kept a "long-winded" diary.
He even turned his own illness into an adventure. On his blog, he imagined a mythical journey in which a heroine has been struck by lightning from the Gods and is on a quest to regain her health,
"a kind of Holy Grail, or a Vessel of Plenty that was lost and must be found again."
But in that world, and standing in the way of her quest object is a terrifying enemy, he wrote.
"Cancer is a ferocious, dark force, a Darth Vader figure from 'Star Wars', or Sauron from 'Lord Of The Rings'. The enemy pursues her. She is required to do fierce battle with that enemy, and the outcome is uncertain."
He is survived by his wife Sue and his children, Ella and Joe.
Heirs seek settlement with owners of $25 million Klimt painting
VIENNA — The present Austrian owners of a valuable Gustav Klimt painting say they plan to reach a fair settlement with Jewish heirs of the family who left the artwork behind as they fled the Nazis.
The "Bildnis Gertrud Loew"
("Portrait of Gertrud Loew") is valued at up to 19.3 million euros ($25 million.) It was abandoned by Gertrud Felsoevary and her family after Austria was annexed by Hitler's Germany in 1938 and is now in the possession of the Klimt Foundation.
图文
Foundation members said Wednesday that they want to reach a "fair and just" solution after a committee of experts deemed that the picture fell under Austrian restitution laws.
The foundation says it hopes to buy the portrait but also has left open its return to the heirs.
Associated Press
The photo provided by Klimt-Foundation on Wednesday shows Gustav Klimt's work 'Bildnis Getrud Loew' that he painted in 1902.

FROM IOA PAGE 2A
the Huffington Post, a male student who admitted to "nonconsensual intercourse" was recommended by IOA to perform community service, be removed from campus housing, write a reflective essay and attend counseling. The article reported the office of Student Conduct and Community Standards decided not to impose the community service.
On Sept. 8, The Kansan reported another case in which IOA recommend the perpetrator be put on probation for six months, that he meet with IOA to discuss alcohol and consent and that he pay restitution to the victim for any out-of-pocket therapy expense related to the case. According to the complainant, those recommendations were not imposed by the office of Student Conduct and Community Standards, an office under Student Affairs.
Those cases have led to student outrage and a student group demanding that the University change its policies. The case reported by The Huffington Post is under review by the federal Office for Civil Rights.
McQueeny said when sanction recommendations are made, each case is looked at individually, and the impact on the victim and the community is considered.
"Is this someone who we think is going to be a risk for our community?" McQueeny said.
Not Alone, the first report of the White House Task Force to protect students from sexual assault, urged campuses to develop separate and comprehensive sexual misconduct policies.
The task force report states that universities should have a separate sexual misconduct policy in order "to provide a single, easily accessible and user-friendly document for students, employees, and others affected by sexual misconduct to find information regarding an institution's rules and procedures, including the rights of students and the obligations of the institution and its employees."
+
"We need to have a more transparent and consistent process, especially in the sentencing."
EMMA HALLING Interim study body president
As part of the task force report, schools were provided with a checklist for developing a policy for sexual misconduct. In the checklist, it states the policy should explain the possible results of the adjudication process, including sanctions.
When a student is found responsible for sexual assault, McQueeny makes recommendations for sanctions to the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards, which decides which recommendations to implement.
Organization brings puppies to campus
Despite this educational, non-punitive approach, suspensions and expulsions do happen. Of the 27 sexual assault cases the IOA investigated from Jan. 2013 through July 2014, five students were expelled and four were suspended. McQueen said.
According to its website, "The Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs takes an educational approach to all conduct cases, not a punitive one. When students are found responsible for the allegations, it is our opportunity to educate the student/student organization on the effects of his/her/their behavior and to effect a change in the student's behavior for the future."
Emma Halling, a senior from Elkhart, Ind., and interim student body president, said she believes that there needs to be a change in the current policy.
Hawks Helping Hawks, an organization devoted to assisting students in financial need, is hosting a Puppy Party to reach out to students wanting more information.
"We need to have a more transparent and consistent process,especially in the sentencing" Halling said.
"Nobody can turn down a conversation while you have a puppy to pet," TJ Blake, a sophomore from Hutchinson, said.
Halling and other students have called on the University to reform policies. The Kansas Boards of Regents said it is also reviewing KU's sexual assault policies as well as those at K-State and Washburn.
Puppies such as a black Lab, German shepherd and pug will be in front of Gamma Phi Beta next to Chi Omega from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hawks Helping Hawks can provide assistance in the case of a medical event or car problem that financial aid doesn't always cover.

Wepking said he remembered the accident which occurred when he was trying to cross Irving Hill Road to get to work.
Wepking caught the headlight with his leg, his left hand went through the windshield and he did a few summersaults before going into the street, he said.
The accident resulted in a broken left leg, road rash, a three-by-two inch gush on his left hand, and a right hand fracture. Wepking had surgery on his left leg and right hand.
Anguiano of the KU Public Safety Office, Wepking was in serious condition.
According to Captain James
He was airlifted to the KU Hospital after Public Safety Officers, an ambulance, and firefighters arrived at the scene.
Sgt. John Dietz of the Public Safety Office said University police were dispatched at 2:47 p.m. to the 1500 block of living Hill Road, where the accident occurred.
According to Dietz, the case was still under investigation on Monday.

SafeRide is a service available to students who are out at night and feel unsafe walking back to their home. Students can call Saferide and a vehicle will pick them up at their location. But for some students, the SafeRide system hasn't worked that way.

Anthony said it was Halloween night when he went out with friends, and his ride left him. He said he saw SafeRide circling, and a few empty SafeRide cars around him, so he decided to call one. After getting ahold of dispatch, they said they weren't going to pick him up because he was near a route for SafeBus and it was supposed to arrive in a few minutes — no more than five.

University to set a standard for sexual assault policies.
"This is a great time for KU to set a national standard for how sexual assault is addressed at institutions of higher education." Murphy said. "I think we have the momentum, we have the right people in place, especially in the student body and I do think we have an administration who is open to hearing these things."
Morgan Said, a senior from Kansas City, Mo., and student body president elect, said she plans to continue working with Halling and administration on Title IX initiatives.
"Student Senate acted quickly and very directly, something that I don't think we can say about the University
administration at this point in time," Said said.
Said said she and Natalie Parker, a senior from Overland Park and vice chair of Rights Committee, sat down with Jane Tuttle, assistant vice provost of Student Affairs, on Tuesday to discuss concerns. The pair also urged Tuttle to have someone from Student Affairs attend the open forum on sexual assault at the ECM that night. No one from the office attended, Halling said.
Tuttle, who was in attendance at Wednesday's full Senate meeting, declined to comment.

FIVE YEARS AND COUNTING
Jayhawks seek first win on the road since 2009
P
STELLA LIANG
@stelly_liang
The season might still be new, but one question remains from years past. Kansas has not won a road game in almost five years. The pressure builds, and it will continue to do so as long as Kansas football continues to lose on the road.
The lajahawks last won on the road on Sept. 12, 2009, against University of Texas-El Paso. This was before Charlie Weis was coach. This was before the Turner Gill era. The victory was from Mark Mangino's final year.
Weis said his team has a good chance to win when it visits Duke on Saturday, Kansas' first opportunity this season to snap the streak.
"I think that our players have visual evidence on tape that they have a legitimate chance at winning," Weis said.
Coach Charlie Weis looks onto his players during the game against Southeast Missouri on Sept. 6. Kansas plays its first away game this Saturday.
However, it is easy to say Kansas has a chance to win on the road. On paper in the last few years, the Jayhawks have had opportunities to do so on the road.
Last year in week two, Kansas traveled to Houston to take on the Rice Owls. About halfway through the fourth quarter, the Jayhawks were ahead 14-13. By the end of the game, the Owls had scored 10 more points, including three on a go-ahead 56-yard field goal, and won the game 23-14.
execute a little bit higher."
Kansas offensive coordinator John Reagan, who was the offensive coordinator at Rice last year, said why winning on the road is more difficult than winning at home.

"Really to win on the road, you have to do the same things you have to do at home, just better," he said. "You have to execute, but you have to
The change in scenery and atmosphere usually means the visiting team has less room to make mistakes.
After Saturday's victory against Southeast Missouri State, in which Kansas lead 24-0 after the first quarter and finished with a 34-28 victory,
"I think that our players have visual evidence on tape that they have a legitimate chance at winning."
"The margin of error goes down a little bit on the road," Reagan said. "You don't have people behind you. You don't have the comforts of what you're used to."
CHARLIE WEIS Kansas coach
Weis said the Jayhawks might not be used to winning in general.
The Jayhawks have won four games total the past two seasons and Weis said success, especially the quick start against SEMO, might have caught the Jayhawks off guard.
Not being used to winning at all doesn't boast well for winning on the road, but visiting Duke early in the season and coming out with a victory could do a lot for the team and its confidence.
“[Ending the losing streak is] one more thing to put behind us and not worry about anymore,” Weis said. “The season doesn't end with a win or a loss, but this would be a big win for our program.”

Kansas defense faces tough matchup in Duke
The Blue Devils have arguably the best receiver unit Kansas will see all year. They are led by the dynamic duo of senior wide receivers larnison Crowder (5-foot-9, 175 pounds) and Issac Blakeney (6-foot-6,225 pounds).
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
Duke has two of the best wide receivers in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Kansas has an experienced secondary that had three interceptions last Saturday.
Something has to give on Saturday as Kansas takes on Duke at 2:30 p.m. at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, N.C. This will be the Jayhawks' first road game of the season.
"It's a problem. You know, this is a legitimate good group of wide receivers," Weis said. "It's not like you say, well, let's just take Crowder out of the game and not worry about the other ones because you just can't do that."
"The people most dynamic on their team are the wide receivers," coach Charlie Weis said. "That also happens to be the position that we feel the best about on our defense.
Crowder caught 108 receptions in his junior campaign and is off to a
"I wouldn't put out anything in particular, we just need to bring our A game like every other game," senior safety Cassius Sendish said. "If we do that like we know we can, we will come out victorious."
The matchup between the traditional blue-blood basketball programs also includes a clash between coaches who were called upon to rebuild struggling football programs.
rast start this year with 14 receptions for 163 yards and a pair of scores. Blakeney's size could provide matchup problems for some of Kansas' smaller defensive backs.
Luckily for the Jayhawks, the secondary is arguably their biggest strength. Dexter McDonald is the reigning Big 12 defensive player of the week after recording two interceptions against Southeast Missouri. If Duke lines up the way it has, McDonald (6-foot-1, 200 pounds) will be on Crowder and senior JaCorey Shepherd (5-foot-11, 195) will match up with Blakeney.
Duke coach David Cutcliffe enters his seventh year with Duke (77-73) and is most known for mentoring the likes of Peyton Manning in his days at Tennessee. Cutcliffe has been able to build this football
program from the ground up. For Weis, Cutcliffe's tenure at Duke is the model of that he wants to do at Kansas. Cutcliffe turned the program completely around but not without some early struggles. In his first four years, he won just 15 games before going to bowl games in each of the last two years.
"I have a lot of respect for the job they've done, and hopefully we cannot only emulate that, but hopefully we can speed up that timetable just a tad," Weis said.
program from the ground up.
The Blue Devils are coming off their best year on the gridiron. Last year the Blue Devils had a school record 10 wins including the ACC Coastal Division championship and an appearance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. A large part of Duke's emergence on the football field is due to its athletic director, Kevin White, someone Weis knows very well.
"Kevin White, their AD, who's also a vice president there, hired me at Notre Dame," Weis said. "One of the finest men that I've ever met in my entire life. He taught me a lot about college football."

THE MORNING BREW NBA needs to get rid of "one-and-done" rule
Article X of the NBAs 2005 Collective Bargaining Agreement made a statement that "required all potential NBA draftees to be at least 19 years old and one year removed from their high school graduation." This rule has become known as the "one-and-done" rule.
By Kirsten Peterson
@KeepUpWithKP
We have all been affected by this rule, especially in the past year when both Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid declared for the draft after only one year of playing for Kansas. Wiggins coming to Kansas was great for our athletic program, but was it as great for him? He is a perfect example of a talented athlete who is ready to play at the professional level, but was forced to go a year in college with the fear of getting injured or performing worse, leading to a lower draft pick.
There have been many "none-and-dones" who have managed to have a successful career in the NBA, including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Amare Stoudemire.
A great idea for the NBA would be to imitate other leagues that require players to be out of high school for at least three years to be eligible for the draft.
The big question is: Is this rule helping the athletes? Or is it just age discrimination and delaying the players from making millions a year?
Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby told the Associated Press, "I like the baseball rule. I like draft 'em out of high school or leave 'em go until after their junior year." He added, "I also think the NBA and NFL need to have some legitimate developmental program to allow people who don't want to go to college to go develop their skills." The only current choice in basketball is for players to forgo college and play internationally.
THE BREW
"I think it'd be beneficial for students to go to school for at least a couple years, if not three years, like they in in baseball and football," said Kyle
Brueggemann, a pitcher for the Rock-ford Aviators.
Joey Wagman, pitcher for the
+
Even Kentucky coach John Calipari told the Associated Press he likes the idea of athletes going to college for a two-year period before they can declare for the draft. In most cases, the athletes aren't mature enough to handle the league at such a young age. There have been multiple cases where young athletes aren't careful with their finances and make a fool of themselves in the limelight.
Oakland Athletics, mentioned he didn't think he was ready to handle playing in the league at a high school age. "Well, I spent four years in college." Wagman said. "After four full years I had gone through enough situations, met enough people, dealt with enough things and learned time.
management. To be able to handle something like that at a high school level? No way"
A change is desperately needed for the athletes. "One-and-done" players may have to watch their families struggle financially while they fulfill their lone college year risking a career-ending injury. If the NBA does want to change the rules, Kansas fans would be happy to welcome back players like Wiggins and Embiid.

Chen perfect into 6th inning, Orioles sweep Red Sox
Edited by Lyndsey Havens
ASSOCIATED PRESS
As the fifth run of the inning by the Baltimore Orioles is posted on the "Green Monster" wall scoreboard, Boston Red Sox left fielder Yoenis Cespedes waits for the pitch during the third inning of a baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston on Sept. 10.
BOSTON — When Wei-Yin Chen saw right fielder Nick Markakis make a diving grab in the fifth inning, sure, he thought about a perfect game.
Chen didn't permit a runner until the sixth, Adam Jones helped provide an early cushion and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 10-6 Wednesday for a three-game sweep.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Orioles took an 8-0 lead in the fifth. Markakis robbed Allen Craig with a catch in the gap for the second out in the bottom of the inning.
counts was important.
"Of course it still crosses your mind, a perfect game is still very difficult to do, so I tried to concentrate on each at-bat," Chen said through a translator.
Dan Butler then doubled off the Green Monster with one out in the sixth, ending the pitching drama.
"Wei-Yin was tough," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "I love the way he attacked with the lead, pitched real well with the lead. A lot of people niptick around. He had some depth on his off-speed stuff again."
Caleb Joseph homered and drove in three runs and Ryan Flaherty got a career-high four hits as Baltimore won for the 11th time in 14 games and maintained its double-digit lead atop the AL East.
"I was able to get ahead of the hitters and they were more aggressive than they should be, that's why I was so efficient," he said.
Chen (15-4) gave up one run and three hits in seven innings, striking out four without a walk. The left-hander felt throwing strikes early in
The Red Sox scored five runs in the ninth, but it wasn't nearly enough after Chen shut them down.
"Stayed out of the middle of the plate. He's been a guy that notoriously is effective against us," Boston manager John Farrell said. "He pitches right-handers in. He's got multiple secondary pitches that he can go to, but I think more than anything it's the consistent location that he shows."
Darren O'Day got the last out with two runners on for his third save.
Brandon Workman (1-9) lost his ninth straight decision since winning at Baltimore on June 10.
Jones' two-run double highlighted a six-run third, and Joseph hit a two-run drive in the fifth. Jones and Joseph each had three hits.
Chen improved to 12-2 in his last 21 starts. The only run off the left-hander scored on a home run by Xander Bogaerts.
Carlos Rivero hit his first career homer, a three-run shot off Joe Saunders, in the ninth.
The Orioles combined six hits — two by Flaherty — two walks and Rivero's throwing error from third base for their burst in the third. Alejandro De Aza, Joseph and Flaherty each had RBI singles and Steve Pearce drew a bases-loaded
walk.
NOT SO FAST
With their magic number in single digits for clinching the AL East and a 10-game home-stand coming up, the Orioles can possibly clinch at home. Showalter wasn't about to think that far ahead. "If that comes to be the potential for that to happen, that's so far away, if we're fortunate to have that day happen, then we can talk about it," he said. "We've got a lot of roads to cross."
TRAINER'S ROOM
Orioles: SS J.J. Hardy missed his fifth straight game with lower back spasms. The hope is he'll be ready to play in Friday's doubleheader against the Yankees. "He's feeling good," Showalter said. "We'll have a better idea (Thursday)."
Red Sox: Farrell said after the game that 2B Dustin Pedroia is done for the season was scheduled to have surgery Thursday for soreness in his left wrist and hand. "He's going to have a
procedure done here tomorrow by Dr. Leibman in Boston that will address what he's dealing with right now," Farrell said. "I don't know any more specifics than that, but there will be certainly a follow-up after that's completed tomorrow"...

Volleyball sets sights on Villanova Classic

KYLE PAPPAS
@KvlePap
After defeating UMKC in four sets Tuesday night, the No. 24 Kansas volleyball team (6-1) will travel to Pennsylvania where it will take part in the Villanova Classic this weekend. The pre-conference tournament boasts some of the stiffest competition in the nation, and is considered one of the most difficult tournaments the Jayhawks have participated in during the Ray Bechard era.
"We're going to tell the team, forget what the uniform says, we've gotta earn everybody's respect when we go out there," Bechard said after the UMKC win. "If it's Villanova, Yale, American or Penn State, it doesn't matter. Just forget the uniform. We have to play at our standard."
Kansas kicks off the invitational by taking on host Villanova (4-3) on Friday at 11 a.m. The Wildcats have struggled out of the cats, dropping all three of their matches in last weekend's SDSU-USD Challenge, winning only two sets along the way. The Wildcats
are led by junior outside hitter Colleen Hickey, who has recorded at least seven kills in each of her last four games on her way to leading the team in that category.
The Jayhawks then square off against four-time Ivy League defending champions, Yale (1-2), later in the day. The Bulldogs have also got out to a bit of a rocky start in 2014 they've lost their two matches to Minnesota and Boston College in straight sets. They're led by junior setter Kelly Johnson, a two-time All-Ivy First Team selection who leads the Bulldogs in kills and ranks second in assists this season.
2014.
It doesn't get any easier for Kansas on Saturday when they face American (4-2). The champions of the Patriot league last season, the Eagles finished 2013 with an impressive 34-3 record before being bounced out of the NCAA tournament in the Sweet 16 by Texas. Junior middle blocker Kelly McCaddin should be an impact performer — she's second on the team with 43 kills while maintaining an impressive .386 kill percentage in
Lastly, the Jayhawks will presumably face their toughest test of the weekend if they take on defending NCAA champion Penn State. The Nittany Lions (4-1) have started out the year strong, picking up wins against TCU and UCLA before falling to Stanford last weekend. Freshman outside hitter Ali Frantti, 2013 Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year, is the player to watch for Penn State as her 67 kills and. 479 kill percentage both lead the team.
For Kansas, its chances will likely hinge on the play of senior outside hitters Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers. The lone seniors on a freshman-heavy squad, the two have been relied upon heavily thus far to come up with big kills at key moments for the layhawks. Freshman setter Anise Havilli will also be crucial, as her 287 assists this season have created most of McClinton's and Albers' opportunities.

record and the longest winning streak to date in the program's history, the team picked up a No.20 national ranking this week. While the news was very exciting, head coach Mark Francis said it did not phase his team.
"The personal success comes with the team success," Salazar said. "I think, without my team, I wouldn't be able to score or do many things. So pretty much everything comes from them."
"We've got a whole lot of soccer left to play and what it really means is that whoever we play, we are going to get their best game," Francis said. "Whenever you're ranked, everyone brings all they've got against you. So it just means we have to be that much more focused."
Despite a difficult start
to their season, Cal-State Northridge will hit the turf at Jayhawk Soccer Complex feeling the momentum of two wins on their backs. The Matadors take over 14 shots a game, and their defense has only allowed four opponent goals. Francis has told his team to expect a physical game.
"I watched them on tape," Francis said. "Very good, very athletic, and probably the most athletic we've seen yet. It'll be hard, but we're looking forward to the challenge."
He said offense has been reviewing what to do to counteract the challenge and maximize their chances to be confident in Friday's game.
Even with a hard game ahead, Salazar said her team is well-prepared to take on the Matadors.
"The games will be very physical," Salazar said. "I imagine it's going to be hard. But we're prepared, we know how to play and be strong. It's going to be fun."

Young women's tennis team begins season on the road

@SkyRolSports
The Kansas tennis team will begin its season this weekend with tournaments in Texas and Arkansas. Saturday will also mark the beginning of the second year for the team under coach Todd Chapman.
Kansas tennis will send four players to Arkansas for the
CCLR Collegiate Invitational in Little Rock, Ark., and seven to Midland, Texas, for the Midland Invitational. Chapman will coach the players who travel to Arkansas and his assistant, Aaron Fuller, will coach in Texas.
The team is almost brand new in Chapman's second season in charge, with only two returning players, senior Maria Luduena and junior Maria Cordona.
"My two returners are very key because they've been with me for my whole first year so they know what I expect," Chapman said. "They know what I demand each day."
For Chapman, it was important to establish a team with players he recruited after several graduated in 2013.
"Recruiting is the lifeblood of a program," Chapman said. "It helps as you're recruiting players that they know what you expect from day one... The mentality is already set, you're not trying to reteach something or create a different culture."
Both tournaments will be gauges for how well the team will start this season. Chapman has different goals for each group of players. For underclassmen, the tournament is a chance to get their feet wet and face good competition. Chapman said the rest of the team will have the chance to play ranked opponents and possibly get in the national rankings themselves.
The Kansas tennis team has not competed in the NCAA
"We have high expectations," Chapman said, "Our goal is at the end of the season to be in contention and be in the conversation for having a chance to go to the NCAA tournament."

Kansas State cleaning up before Auburn
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN, Kan. Bill Snyder has changed little since his arrival at Kansas State more than 20 years ago, his focus always on in-house preparation and consistency across the board.
He also disdains mental mistakes and penalties.
"One little detail and he's not going to let it slide," quarterback Jake Waters explained. "He's so detailed oriented, so knowing that with one little mistake, you know you're going to hear about it. That should motivate you to minimize those mistakes and penalties."
There were 10 penalties, including five illegal procedures, a costly pass interference call in the end zone and a facemask penalty that all conspired to put the Wildcats in a big hole.
Snyder was blunt in assessment of No. 19 Kansas State's come-from-behind win over Iowa State on Saturday, and his feelings hadn't changed a whole lot by midweek.
Just about the only thing that didn't go wrong were turnovers. Kansas State didn't have any, while Iowa State threw an interception near midfield that scuttled a promising drive.
Despite the mistakes, Snyder was pleased with Kansas State's resiliency in battling back.
"There were some certain things that I didn't see through the course of the game that I did see on video tape," Snyder said. "Still, I don't know how pleasantly surprised I was, but on the positive side of it, it does have a meaningful impact on the quality of the character of the young people in our program."
from 8 yards out for the goahead touchdown — the eventual game-winner, as it turned out.
"I think it showed great toughness, resiliency," Wildcats offensive lineman Boston Stiverson said. "We came together as a team. That is a team-effort win. It shows that even if we are not playing well and making mistakes, we can fight through adversity and come out with a win."
"...it does have a meaningful impact on the quality of the character of the young people in our program."
BILL SNYDER Kansas State Coach
"
The Wildcats (2-0, 1-0 Big 12) are off this week before welcoming fifth-ranked Auburn to town next Thursday night. That gives Snyder time to clean up the mistakes.
"It will be here in a heartbeat," he said. "There is no doubt about that. We have to be awfully careful about not putting things off. It is our intent to treat this week like it is game week as much as possible. I am sure with our players and my interest right now is correcting mistakes and making improvements by each individual in the program."
That includes Waters, his senior quarterback, who called the review of game film from Iowa State an eye-opening experience for the team.
"Just watching that film, we learned so much X's and O's wise and about ourselves as a team," Waters said. "Going through what we go through on the road in a hostile environment, being down and showing how resilient we are to come back and win. Those teaching moments, luckily we had it in a win and we're going to grow from that, too."

Freshman Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk answers questions during a press conference Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse. The 6-foot-7 Ukrainian-born guard recently arrived in Kansas after playing on the Ukrainian national basketball team during the FIBA World Cup.

The wait to see incoming Ukrainian freshman guard Sviatoslav Mykhaliiuk has come to an end as he met with Kansas media this afternoon.
Mykhailiuk, or Svi as he told the media to call him, just landed in Kansas a couple of days ago after a full day of traveling and an eight-hour time difference from Ukraine.
"This is my third time to America," Mykhailiuk said. "I was sleeping a lot so I have to work out my energy, a lot of paperwork, that's what I've been doing for the past couple days."
"There is no effect on my city," Mykhaliuk said. "Cities near the border are affected by bombing and killing people, so it's horrible."
In Mykhailiuk's home country of Ukraine, there's a war going on between Ukraine and Russia. Mykhailiuk said his city isn't affected by the fighting, but he hears of terrible stories near the Russia-Ukraine border.
basketball. Those rumors were far from the truth.
"I thought it would easier for me to go to the NBA from college than from Europe," Mykhailiuk said. "It was my dream as a child to play in the NBA, and my dream to play in the NCAA."
The delayed arrival on campus was due to Mykhailiuk's participation on the Ukrainian national basketball team during the FIBA World Cup. The Ukrainian team was knocked out of the tournament after losing to the United States on Sept. 4. Mykhailiuk played in the game against the U.S., and said it was great experience.
"To play against players like D-Rose, Kyrie Irving and James Harden was pretty hard, but pretty fun," Mykhailliuk said. "You need a lot of experience to play with them."
Kansas was one of the three schools to recruit Mykhailiuk. He said the final two came down to Virginia and Kansas.
"I think Kansas is better than Virginia," Mykhailiuk said. "[Kansas] has a lot to develop my skills more than Virginia. Here is great people and a great team."
though he's grown in the last five months.
"I'm good right now," Mykhailiuk said about his height.

excited to play with all the players on the current roster such as Wayne Selden Jr, Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor.
"We have a great recruiting class and great sophomores," Mykhalliuk said.
When asked about which former basketball players he watched, he named off the Morris twins, Mario Chalmers, Andrew Wiggins, Joel Emiid and Paul Pierce. Mykhailiuk said his favorite players are Michael Jordan, Derrick Rose, Isaiah Thomas and Kvie Irving.
"I watch some games," Mykhailiuk said.
Mykhailiuk speaks fluent English and said he hasn't enrolled into classes yet because he has to take a placement test. When asked about what he would study while enrolled in the University, he said he didn't know yet.
"I will know today or tomorrow my classes," Svi said.

OPPOSING SIDELINE
Kansan football beat writer speaks with Duke Chronicle sports editor Nick Martin to get a closer look at Saturday's opponent
DUKE
7
DAN HARMSEN
@udk_dan
Duke Coach David Cutcliffe talks with quarterback Anthony Boone in the second half of an NCAA college football game at Veterans Memorial Stadium last Saturday in Troy, Ala.
DAN: Duke is coming off a win against Troy in which they started out slow, trailing 14-3. Talk a bit about what you've seen from the 2014 team.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NICK: I would say playing against Elon and Troy, Troy is stiffer competition, but the biggest thing I'd say so far: Duke hasn't had a turnover this season. That's going to be huge for them to continue that — it won't hold up, but if they can keep their turnovers to a minimum they'll be great.
Anthony Boone is looking a lot more comfortable in the pocket, and not to mention he's got Issac Blakeney, who is 6-foot-6 and around 230 pounds. He ran on the 4x100-meter Duke track team this spring. He's really taking things seriously this year and has been saying that the NFL is a goal for him, studying NFL receivers. He's got three touchdowns through two games. Competition is going to get stiffer. They've got Kansas, Tulane and a trip to Miami.
Through these first two games, Duke has looked exactly how it has wanted to look. They wanted a blowout in front of a packed house — that's what it did.
DAN: Wide receiver Jamison Crowder gets much of the attention at the position, and deservedly so, but could a case be made that Issac Blakeney is every bit as good, or is he benefiting from Crowder being matched up against the defenses' best?
NICK: Crowder was spectacular last season. A lot of people question whether he could replace Connor Vernon and he did that and more as a receiver and as a punt returner. I think you are looking at two guys, Jamison is smaller but faster. One of the biggest things that separated the two was work ethic set them apart prior to this season. If you talk to the offensive coordinator Scottie Montgomery, Jamison is one of the hardest-working receivers he has ever worked with and one of the most talented. You can tell from the intensity he brings on the field and off the field. Isaac is a much more mature player this year. Senior year, the light-bulb went off. Football is something he wants to do past this year — he has potential to be a dominant player. The Coastal division is
not a strong division when it comes to receiver talent; compare him to Kelvin Benjamin from FSU — same body-type and same speed. It's premature to say he is as good as Jamison, but it's not a stretch to say that he could be one of the top receivers in the conference.
DAN: Right or wrong, quarterback Anthony Boone is known as a facilitator of the Duke of defense who doesn't turn the ball over. Does his mobility and the rushing attack as a whole get overlooked? Both Josh Snead and Shaquille Powell average more than 4.5 yards per carry. Is this a strength of the team?
Recycle this paper
NICK: Losing Jela Duncan, who is now a Denver Bronco, was tough for the rushing attack, and Brandon Connette as well, if it was third-4 or less, you could nearly guarantee that he was going to bully his way past everyone because he was a massive guy. Boone is not as big, but if you watched the Troy game this past week, he scrambled for a 30-yard touchdown, so the mobility is there, in this system he should be able to get 5 yards because they spread the field so well.
Powell and Snead, they are both talented guys, and at times they may get overlooked, but it's a strength that they have and it's something they are going to continue to play to, especially with a veteran offensive line. We'll see how that plays out when the Blue Devils go up against bigger, more athletic defensive lines. Even last year, it was pretty even-keel, about 50-50 in play-calling for run to pass.
DAN: Duke is allowing 148 yards per game on the ground, and 214 yards per game through the air. Is Duke a better team defending the pass or the rush?
NICK: I'm a little more confident in protecting the pass, just because the secondary has an insane amount of potential and depth. They are all sophomores, minus a few. All of them played last season in big games. Not to take anything away from the front-six, but some of the younger back-
ars are feeling out new positions. They are working their way into new positions, and new reads, and the front-four are fine. They're going to be strong. If I had to choose one or the other, I'd take the pass defense.
DAN: How have the season-ending injuries to middle linebacker Kelby Brown and Braxton Deaver affected the outlook of the season? Who has filled in in their absence, and how well, so far?
NICK: Obviously losing Kelby Brown and Braxton Deaver in the pre-season is a huge blow for any team, but more so Duke, because the defensive unit so much relied on Brown in the middle to make the calls, and David Helton never really played the inside linebacker position before, so he is kind of stepping in and feeling it out.
DAN: David Cutcliffe is in his seventh year as the coach at Duke. While he has brought the program back to respectability, his first four seasons, he went just 15-33 and won just six conference games. Charlie Weis has only won four games in two years and has a big rebuild ahead of him. What are the feelings around Durham on Cutcliffe now, and how were they a few years ago?
NICK: I'd say in the past three years, Cutcliffe has [gone] from being the coach attached to the Manning brothers, now he is one of the more popular coaches. He won the coach of the year last year, really turned the program around from being one of the worst in the power five conferences several years ago. He's loved on the field and in the community. When they had the 'Meet the Blue Devils' days, when they lined up for autographs in the shopping mall, Cutcliffe's line was 90 yards long. A couple years ago, it wasn't close to that. People are excited about him and he is definitely in the conversation when people talk about the top coaches.
DAN: Charlie Weis said playing second-fiddle to the basketball team is not necessarily a bad thing, and can help motivate the football team on the field and in recruiting. Can the same thing be said for Duke? With the recent success, how receptive has the Duke fan-base been to the football program. What kind of attendance can we expect Saturday?
NICK: Cutcliffe talked about it on Tuesday. A couple years ago before the back-to-back bowl games, it was a way to get your foot in the door on the recruiting trail in California because when you knocked, people knew "Duke" for basketball. I think basketball gives them name-recognition. Now, it's not needed as much. Last year they played two Heisman trophy winners and a bowl game on New Year's Eve. Football interest has grown exponentially.
We've only had one game to take a look at it, but for the Elon game, there were 31,000
people. I didn't cover the game, but I walked to the stadium, close to my dorm, and usually you can go to the stadium late and grab a seat up close right before the game, but that was not the case. It hasn't been like that since the Carolina game or Miami game; I had to stand in the very back row of the student section. People are coming out, and I would expect a pretty similar atmosphere. It should be pretty packed.
DAN: Prediction?
NICK: I think the tough question is that Kansas has only played one game. Kansas is going to get its points, but Duke is going to win. If I had to put a score on it, I'd go, maybe, 35-17 would be my guess. I think it would be similar to the Troy game.

Montell Cozart, So.
Quarterback
The sophomore quarterback missed on a number of throws, but didn't throw an interception against Southeast Missouri (SEMO). After being outscored 28-10 by SEMO in the second half, Cozart said he needed to finish the game and not allow the other team to make a comeback.

CITY OF NEW YORK
Cory Avery, Fr. Running back
The starting running back was unknown going into the season-opener against SEMO, and the popular thought was junior De'Andre Mann would be the starter. But Avery was the first running back on the field, and he finished with a team high of 19 carries and a touchdown. The freshman will be the
starter on Saturday.
BENETT HARRIS
Nick Harwell, Sr. Wide receiver
Harwell was the missing piece to offensive coordinator John Reagan's spread offense. Harwell made tough catches, and he scored twice, but in the second half, he only had one catch. For Kansas to win, Harwell will have to be involved the whole game.
★★★☆
Dexter McDonald, Sr. Defensive back
The Big 12 Player of the Week led the Jayhawks with two interceptions last Saturday. He'll have a tough test against Duke's Jamison Crowder and Isaac Blakeney, but McDonald said the coaches have him prepared to face anyone, and he'll be ready to take on both receivers.
★★★☆☆
DUKE (2-0)
PETER BROWN
After starting the first half with nine tackles, Heeney only made two tackles in the second half. He said the way to stay more involved is to stay focused on the task at hand. Kansas needs Heeney to bring the first half performance against SEMO to Durham in order for Kansas to take its first road win in 2014.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who will win the Kansas-Duke football game?
By Paige Stingley
@paigestingley11
"KANSAS"
The Kansas Jay hawks are fresh off a season-opening
victory, which saw the KU offense score an impressive 34 points. Quarterback Montell Cozart connected with wide receiver Nick Harwell for two scores in the first quarter, and the running back combination of DeAndre Mann and Corey Avery added 212 yards on the ground and another first quarter score. The Jayhawks will need another strong performance from the offense if they hope to be victorious this Saturday against a Duke Blue Devils team that has averaged 43 points per game in the first two games of the season. However, keep in
mind Duke's first two victories came against the likes
of Elon and Troy, neither of which is the caliber of Kansas.
Despite only surrendering 30 points total through the first two weeks of the season, Duke has struggled on defense, ranking nationally at No.105 in total defense, despite playing weak opponents. Much of this struggle is because five starting defensive players from last year's Blue Devils squad graduated. The Duke defense is relatively young, with only five seniors in the starting lineup, three of whom are new starters this season. They have struggled to stop the run effectively, ranking at No.72 in the nation for rushing defense.
If the Jayhawks can protect Cozart and effectively move the ball against the Duke defense, especially on first down, then Kansas has a good chance at securing a victory. An early score or two will also help build the momentum and confidence of the Jayhawk offense.
Another key to Kansas' success will be how well the defense matches up with Duke's passing game, which has shown flashes of brilliance thus far. The Jayhawk defense will have to fight hard not to let the game slip away in the second half, as they did last week by surrendering 28 second half points, 21 of which came in the fourth quarter. The Jayhawks definitely have their work cut out for them this week in Durham, where Duke has won its past five home games and past eight non-conference matchups. Momentum will be the deciding factor. Whoever can get on the board first and set the tone will likely emerge as the victor.

"DUKE"
In no way can Kansas fans expect the jayhawks to come out of Durham, N.C., with a win against Duke on satin day.
The reigning Atlantic Coastal Conference champions are favored by 15.5 points in this game, and it would likely be much more if the Blue Devils' wouldn't have fallen to a 14-3 deficit against Troy in the first half of last weekend's game

before coming back for a 34-17 victory.
Senior Anthony Boone is still under center and leading the way for the Blue Devils. Duke is 11-2 the past two years in games Boone has played in, and he's totaled 515 yards and five touchdowns in two games early in the season.
His top target is senior wide receiver Jamison Crowder — a 5-foot-9 slot speedster who set new school and ACC records for receptions in 2013. Coach Charlie Weis compared Crowder to NFL veteran Steve Smith earlier this week, and called him one of the best receivers Kansas will see this year. Senior Isaac Blakeney
— a 6-foot-6, 225 pound prototype at wide receiver — has also emerged for the Blue Devils with three touchdowns in two games, and may also cause the jayhawks some trouble.
Though Kansas junior cornerback Dexter McDonald was so dominant in the first game with two interceptions, two pass breakups and a Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week award, it doesn't mean Kansas' secondary is ready for Duke's
passing attack, by any means.
Senior JaCorey Shepherd was a liability for the Jayhawks in their first game and could see plenty of targets go his way in the team's second game as the Blue Devils try to avoid McDonald.
Weis expects Crowder to lineup on the Jayhawks' right side with Blakeney on his left, which would match up Crowder and McDonald, though the Blue Devils will likely move him around all game.
If the Jayhawks can't shut down the passing attack — especially Crowder — it will be tough for the team to overcome. However, if the same Jayhawks who were showcased in the first quarter against SEMO show up, it will be enough to keep Montell Cozart and company in reaching distance.
But after three quarters of disastrous Jayhawk football against a much more mediocre team than Duke, the type of production the team brought in the first quarter shouldn't be counted on by Kansas fans.

"This is where (the championship) I have put myself in my mind," said Harvey, a real estate property manager. "I am where I want to be and feel like I should be. Hopefully, I can take advantage of it."
Nurski had a more stressful day at Saucon Valley's Old Course. The 35-year-old from St. Joseph, Missouri, won on the 18th hole in
the quarterfinals over Todd White of Spartanburg, S.C. In the semifinals, Nurski had to go 19 holes to beat Tom Werkmeister of Kentwood, Michigan.
“Getting to the final two is an unbelievable accomplishment,” said Nurski. “We just have to come out and play our game tomorrow, stay aggressive and make some putts.”
This will be the first USGA championship match for Harvey and Nurski.

SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS
New drink coasters can detect date rape drugs
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@MarissaUDK
The University's Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access has set out on an initiative to start educational conversations with students by creating drink coasters with instructions to detect date rape drugs.
By placing a drop of the liquid in question on the coaster, a person can tell if the liquid contains a drug if the coaster turns a darker-blue color. These coasters also include the contact information for IOA, the office that investigates sexual assault complaints.
The coasters provide a unique, interesting and accessible way of detecting a potential drug without being a major hassle to students, said Michael McRill, a graduate student who works at the Office of IOA.
The reasoning behind this
new coaster is a deterrence effect in an attempt to scare off individuals who might use date rape drugs, said Jane McQueeny, executive director of IOA.
"If they [potential sexual offenders] feel like the conditions are hostile towards them, they would be less inclined overall."
MICHAEL MCRILL
Graduate student
employee at IOA
Four men from North Carolina State University invented a clear nail polish that will change colors when it comes into contact with a date rape drug. A user will put on the nail polish, insert their nail into a drink and the nail polish is said to turn from clear to a darker color if the drink has been drugged.
A recently started company called "Undercover Colors" has also set out to make a difference in the number of occurring sexual assaults by instilling fear within the perpetrators, in an effort to help victims stop sexual assaults before the perpetrator
The nail polish company describes itself as "the first fashion company empowering women to prevent sexual assault." The nail polish is not currently on the market as the company is still raising funds to hire more people for research and development efforts. As Undercover Colors states on its Facebook page, its first product will change color when it encounters date rape drugs including Rohypnol, Xanax and GHB.
Chrissy Heikkila, executive director of GaDuGi SafeCenter
can act.
in Lawrence, disagrees that prevention should be put on the survivor of sexual assault or rape.
"As a general rule, our agency never puts prevention side on the survivor," Heikkila said. "We do not support the idea that women need to wear nail polish. We do not think rape can be prevented by wearing a certain nail polish or clothing."
Conversely, Robyn Herbert, a junior from Wichita, said this nail polish is a good invention to ensure women feel safe when going out.
Herbert said women feel threatened and she would use the nail polish because she is unsure of whom she can trust.
According to One in Four Inc., one in four college women will report a survival of or an attempted rape in their lifetime, and in 72-81 percent of cases the female is intoxicated.
Talking about sexual assault, having these conversations and providing support for victims are vital for implementing a cultural change and to serve as the best prevention tactics, Heikkila said.
McRill said the nail polish or coaster could serve as an external barrier or obstacle against someone who is trying to commit sexual violence or abuse.
"If they [potential sexual offenders] feel like the conditions are hostile towards them, they would be less inclined overall," McRill said.
Only time and further research can tell how effective the nail polish will be as the company proceeds through its early development stages and releases the product out to the market.

Sigma Pi become chartered fraternity after 3-year process

Sigma Pi became a chartered fraternity during a ceremony Saturday after nearly three years of working toward becoming a recognized chapter.
Now that chartering is complete, the fraternity is recognized as a formal chapter, rather than as a colony, by the Sigma Pi International Executive Offices. Sigma Pi became the 23rd University of Kansas fraternity to be governed by Interfraternity Council.
There was a Sigma Pi chapter at the University before the Vietnam War, but when every member enlisted in the Army to fight in the war, the chapter was discontinued, said Andy McElroy, Sigma Pi president and a senior from Tulsa, Okla. The chapter is looking
"We had 50 members participate in the chartering, and we also have a new member pledge class of 25", McElroy said. "There was a 50-member requirement for us to even be considered to be chartered, so it's great that we've surpassed that and are up to 75 members now"
at this return to campus as a chance to recharge.
Each Sigma Pi member had to meet other requirements as well, such as passing a test about Sigma Pi history and completing four degrees to charter — scholarship, community service, philanthropy and brotherhood. Each degree has a specific requirement, and Sigma Pi was not considered for charter until each was met. For example, the scholarship degree required the chapter kept a GPA above the IFC average, which was 3.01 in spring
The members of Sigma Pi said they are excited about becoming an official chapter, but they understand the future is bright as well.
"KU Recycling was eventually taken over by the University, but it's pretty cool that we were able to start such a successful program," McElroy said.
During its time as a colony, Sigma Pi also was required to participate in an Altruistic Campus Experience project. Two years ago, it started KU Recycling, which is a recycling system for all KU fraternities and sororites.
"It's awesome to finally be able to say we're chartered," said Tyler Marshall, a junior from Santa Cruz, Calif. "This is just the beginning."
Now that the chapter is recognized, members of Sigma Pi said they are
especially looking forward to finding new members to add to the brotherhood.
"Being chartered is a big deal," McElroy said. "Now that we're officially recognized, we're going to focus on other things, such as bringing in larger, new member classes through continuous recruitment, and possibly securing a fraternity house in the future."
2014, according to the IFC website.
Sigma Pi is the first KU fraternity to be chartered since Alpha Tau Omega, which became a chapter in spring 2012 and is also currently unhoused.
"It's always great to see fraternities complete the process," said Dustin Struble, assistant director of Greek Life at the Student Involvement and Leadership Center. "Sigma Pi has done a great job."

University to get sacred Torah scroll
BROOK BARNES /KANSAN
University rabbis and the Chabad Center for Jewish Life are receiving a specially scribed Torah for KJR's Jewish community. It is expected in December
Donations from the local Jewish community are funding the Torah's creation. People can pay based on letters on the scroll, which cost $36 each, and up to $9,200 for a silver crown.
The Chabad Center for Jewish Life celebrated the writing of a sacred Torah scroll on Sunday, among students, rabbis and observers of the Jewish community.
Senior Annabella Zighelboim from Eau Claire, Wis., said the Torah scroll offers a sense of security for the Jewish community.
A scribe was commissioned from Israel to create the KU Torah scroll. While normal scrolls can take six months to complete, the scribe plans to complete the scroll in about three months and come to the University in December with the completed work.

The Torah is a set of guidelines for living a successful Jewish life. Creating the Torah scroll is a labor-intensive task requiring the 304,805 letters to be put on parchment without the slightest of errors. A single wrong letter voids the entire process.
Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel hopes the KU Torah scroll will create a strong sense of Jewish community.
"We are hoping that many KU students and faculty will join this Torah by getting a letter to be written on their behalf," Tiechtel said. "We also want this Torah project

Sophomore Daniel Gewirtz
"We as Jews are always afraid of settling down too deeply in a community because we're afraid of getting kicked out," Beer said. "By us writing this Torah here today in Lawrence, this is going to be our home for a while because we get to put down roots here."
"This is a tangible piece of evidence proving the strength the Jewish community really has," Gewirtz said. "This is a big stepping stone and achievable for any other Jewish campus community."
Tiechtel credits a large group of supporters for making the Torah scroll a successful project.

Calif. wildfires force evacuations

OAKHURST, Calif.— Two out-of-control wildfires in California forced hundreds of residents to flee from their homes on Sunday, including one near a lakeside resort town that has destroyed several structures, authorities said.
The blaze, sparked shortly after 1:30 p.m. near Bass Lake in Central California, prompted authorities to evacuate about 1,000 residents out of 400 homes, Madera County Sheriff's spokeswoman Erica Stuart said.
"I know 10 structures have been destroyed already," Stuart said.
"We have a lot of full-time residents as well as renters and people with vacation homes out here."

The fire started off a road between Oakhurst, a foothill community south of the entrance to Yosemite National Park, and made a run toward Bass Lake. Stoked by winds, it quickly charred at least 320 acres, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant said. The area is a popular destination throughout the year.
Berlant said the blaze started in a remote area Saturday, but exploded on Sunday when it reached a canyon full of thick, dry brush. It has burned 4 square miles, and was 10 percent contained.
Sheriff's officials said residents of another 406 homes were being told to prepare to flee.
Meanwhile in Southern California, evacuation orders for 200 homes in Orange County's Silverado Canyon were lifted late Sunday as firefighters contained 50 percent of a wildfire.
Six firefighters have suffered minor injuries, many of them heat-related as the region baked under triple-digit temperatures.
The residents were evacuated after the fire broke out Friday. The U.S. Forest Service downgraded the fire's size from 2 $ _{1/2} $ square miles to 1 $ _{1/2} $ square miles due to better mapping of the blaze.
A heat wave was expected to last through Tuesday in Southern California, and a smoke advisory was in effect for parts of Riverside and Orange counties.
A 417-acre blaze in Mendocino County destroyed five structures and five outbuildings, according to CalFire. It was 50 percent contained.
A wildfire in the Sierra Nevada foothills about halfway between Sacramento and Reno burned 250 acres, destroyed two homes and three outbuildings. The burned homes were in Alta Sierra, a community of some 6,000 people about five miles south of Grass Valley.
Berlant said crews were making progress on two wildfires that broke out Saturday in Northern California.

Downtown Lawrence, Inc. kicks off Restaurant Week

LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
Downtown Lawrence is notorious for hosting a wide variety of retail oriented events and promotions. The lack of representation of the food and entertainment business is what led the executive director of Downtown Lawrence, Inc., Sally Zogry, to start a new event called Lawrence Restaurant Week. The event will take place this week during breakfast, lunch and dinner, and has 19 participating restaurants whose only requirement in participating is to bring a new item to their menu for the week.
Many familiar venues will be featured during the event: 715, Ladybird Diner, Global Café, Ramen Bowls, The Roost, Merchants, Free State Beer, Limestone Pizza & Grill, The Mad Greek, TEN. The Jayhawker, Minsky's Pizza Cafe & Bar, Pickleman's Gourmet Café, Ingredient, Pachamamas, Terrebonne Po' Boys, La Parrilla, Genovese and Milton's.
"You might think, 'Oh,
Restaurant Week, I go [to
a certain restaurant] all the
time, why should I go?' " Zogry said. "This is a great chance to maybe
try some new places ... we're pretty fortunate here
[in Lawrence]. There are a lot of Midwestern college towns that don't have a
fiftieth of the restaurants we do, much less the choice and the quality."
Zogry said the goal of the week was to bring business to downtown Lawrence dining, and this could only be accomplished by making the week accessible for all involved. As such, Downtown Lawrence, Inc. was sure to include a wide variety of types of food and price ranges.
--restaurants throughout the week to see how business is going, Zogry said the team will rely heavily on consumer feedback. She has encouraged those participating in the week to express their experience through social media outlets, using the hashtag #EatLawrence.
"This is a great chance to maybe try some new places. ... We're pretty fortunate here [in Lawrence]."
SALLY ZOGRY Executive director of Downtown Lawrence, Inc.
Nick Wysong, general manager of Ingredient, said the restaurant agreed to participate in the event because he said he believed it was a good thing to be a part of, and also has the potential to bring business to the restaurant.
"Our only requirement was providing a menu specifically for the week," Wysong said. "People should always come to Ingredient, but they should especially come this week because there will be some tasty food."
While the committee board of the event will be checking in with the
"Anytime I do an event, I look forward to when it's all come together and you see how much people enjoy it," Zogry said.
As this is only the first year the event has been in Lawrence, Zogry said the company made the decision to keep the event strictly limited to restaurants downtown. However, should the week go well, Zogry said she would be interested in expanding it beyond downtown Lawrence in following years.
"It's exciting," Zogry said. "It's a little nerve-wracking because you don't know a lot. It's inspiring, it keeps us on our toes and it's fun to do something new. You see how it goes the first year and then you can just make improvements on what works and what doesn't."
Any individual interested in discovering what is on the menu need only visit the event's webpage at www. LawrenceRestaurantWeek. com.

Chad Taylor, Kris Kobach lawsuit set for Sept.16
ALLISON KITE
@Allie  Kite
U. S. Senate candidate Chad Taylor's lawsuit against Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has been set on the Kansas Supreme Court docket for Sept. 16.
Whether Taylor is removed from the ballot, polls already show a shift in votes.
Last week Taylor announced his desire to drop out of the race, but Kobach refused to take his name off the ballot, saying he didn't meet necessary requirements.
Taylor is the Democratic candidate from Kansas, running against Independent candidate Greg Orman and Republican incumbent Pat Roberts.
After Taylor's announcement, Orman and Roberts are neck-and-neck in the race for U.S. Senate. Orman has 37 percent of the vote to Roberts' 36 percent. Ten percent of the voting population still supports Taylor despite his withdrawal from candidacy, according to a SurveyUSA poll published on the KSN-TV website.
Dakota Loomis, communications director for the Kansas Democratic Party, said he thinks polls show Kansans are ready for change.
"I think at this point all the polls basically show one thing, which is that Kansans are ready for new leadership across the board," Loomis said. "They're ready for new leadership in Washington, D.C. They're ready for new leadership in Topeka. Sam Brownback, Kris Kobach, Pat Roberts have all demonstrated what their priorities are. They're not the priorities of Kansas people."
Republican Party Chair Kelly Arnold said the Democratic
Party will have to nominate a new candidate if Taylor is successfully removed from the Nov 4 ballot.
Loomis said the Democratic Party is working to get this resolved.
"Right now we're just really focused on the outcome of this case and hopefully that will be resolved before the 18th so that there's a clear understanding for voters as to who is and who is not on the ballot," Loomis said.
"I think at this point all the polls basically show one thing, which is that Kansans are ready for new leadership across the board."
DAKOTA LOOMIS Communications director for Kansas Democratic Party
When Kobach refused to remove Taylor last week, he cited Kansas statute, K.S.A. 25-306(b), which says any candidate who states he or she is incapable of performing the duties can be removed from the ballot.
Arnold said the law was created to make it more difficult to withdraw from the ballot and disappoint voters.
"They saw that it was unfair to primary voters, basically disenfranchising all the primary voters in that election, by taking a name off the ballot," he said.
However, Taylor's lawsuit says the withdrawal followed instructions that Taylor and campaign manager Brandon Naylor received from Brad Bryant, director of elections
and legislative matters at the Kansas Secretary of State's office. A release from Joan Wagonnier, chair of the Kansas Democratic Party, said Taylor also tried to contact Kobach directly before filing his withdrawal.
"Taylor went to the Kobach's office at 4 o'clock, and Kris Kobach was nowhere to be found," the release read. "Maybe he was out trying to get people to self-deport themselves. Maybe he was out trying to suppress voters' rights. He surely wasn't in his office working."
Loomis said the court would have to look at both sides' testimonies and evidence in order to make an informed decision.
"This is an issue for court, too," Loomis said. "I believe Chad Taylor has issued affidavits about what he talked to the secretary of state's office about and there's affidavits about his efforts to reach Kris Kobach."
Republicans beg to differ. The Kansas Republican Party released a statement that said Taylor should know how to properly withdraw from the race.
"Mr. Taylor is a lawyer, indeed, a district attorney," the release read. "A first-year law student could understand and properly follow the candidate withdrawal statute. Mr. Taylor's selfish attempt to leave hundreds of thousands of Kansas Democrats without a candidate is astounding given his total dedication to running just the day before attempting to withdraw."
Tomorrow's hearing will determine whether Taylor will be removed from the Nov. 4 ballot.

Sexual assault is a spectrum, not a fixed point
W when someone says the word "rape," what is the first thing that jumps
to mind? For most of us, it is the image of a lone jogger in the park being violently assaulted by a shadowy figure. However, there are far less severe and far less violent situations that legally speaking — constitute "rape."
we had consent from our parents as well, but sex between us legally would have been considered statutory rape.
I am not condoning sexual assault or saying offenders shouldn't be punished. But when we hear the word "rape," we tend to jump to certain conclusions, and it is important to understand the situation before assuming the worst. There is a big difference between people making impaired
In high school, I dated a girl who was 16 when I was 17. Consent was present for both parties, and
decisions and a man in a trench coat stalking a victim across campus.
The KU administration has a difficult job in a case like this, because while it is its job to keep the campus safe, not all cases are the same. Expelling a student who violently attacked someone makes sense, but not all cases turn out that way. Violent assaults may reoccur if not dealt with severely, but other cases may need less
drastic action for prevention in the future. Is it worth ruining a person's life if it is not necessary to keep campus safe? Sexual assault is a spectrum, not a fixed point.

Study expectations take up too much of students' time
A student's time in college can be a straining period. Most of us balance work, extracurricular activities and class, while still finding time to study. Yet as we progress through college, stress continuously builds.
Not only do we balance the previously mentioned workload, but we also start building our resumes to find a decent job out of college. As we spend all this time trying to create a successful future, our student debt begins to rise. Unfortunately, the people who seem to understand the least are the same individuals who run the
University.
Case in point, the University has so graciously put out its expectations through its designed coursework load. The University's catalog on regulations for undergraduates expect students to study at least two hours per credit hour. That means students enrolled in 12-15 credit hours are expected to study approximately 24-30 hours per week. You're looking at almost a full work week of just studying.
By Adam Timmerman
@AdamTweets4You
This wouldn't be as big of a problem if students didn't have other responsibilities, but to the inconvenience of
the University, we do in fact have lives. Most students work and/or are involved in organizations that require their time as well. Tuition keeps rising for incoming students, meaning they have to work even more to pay for schooling. This regrettably coincides with the University's decision to slash student's work
nours,but that's another discussion in itself.
If you somehow balance all of this, you're easily looking at a 50-60 hour week, every week. University officials ponder why some students have such a hard time, but they don't realize their high expectations are what's putting us in this situation in the first place.
Maybe if the University and its professors, who vehemently follow this standard, stopped to look at what students are going through, the University may not have such a high number of dropouts and an unrealistic four-year
graduation rate. Course workloads should be designed to match what's needed for a student to gain a proper education while still being able to balance the other aspects of our lives. Coursework should not be designed to follow an arbitrary number the University found fit, while disregarding the lives of its students. The University seems to have forgotten that it exists for us and not the other way around.

Local band returns with new name, approach
DYLAN GUTHRIE news@kansan.com
Fresh off the release of its new single, "New Oasis," Lawrence-based band Hembree made a comeback last week. The musicians who used to be a part of Lawrence's Americana group Quiet Corral have recently reformed under the new name.
Isaac Flynn, Hembee's guitar player, vocalist, co-producer and songwriter explained the inspiration behind the new name.
"I think we need to build this legend around it," he said. "You know — who's Hembre?"
Jim Barnes, vocalist, drummer and sound engineer, said Hembree is the last name of a friend who was enthusiastic about the band's return, and they just liked the sound of it.
"We were really like, we have the time, we don't have a deadline. Let's just make whatever we feel like making." Flynn said.
Hembree features University seniors Matt Green and Zach Mehl, and 2011 graduate Garrett Childers. All three were part of Quiet Corral, but despite the departure of member Jesse Roberts, there is an abundance of dedication in both Hembree's music and its approach to it.
According to Flynn, one
year ago Quiet Corral released a full-length studio album titled "Ancestors" and the band had plans to play a tour that featured more than 150 shows in one year. It was shortly after this that Roberts, the lead singer and principal songwriter at the time, decided to leave the band to play music with his wife and pursue other opportunities.
"It felt very deflating because we did invest a lot of time and energy, and we made a lot of sacrifices, but thankfully we've had enough time to transition from Quiet Corral to what we're doing now." Flynn said.
Flynn said Roberts was, and still is, a massive influence in his songwriting. This current project is a blend of Quiet Corral's vigor and his own musical influences, he said.
"I learned a lot from him, and I owe a lot to him for guiding me through the song-writing process, and basically teaching me how to write lyrics," he said.
Hembee's upcoming six-song EP is expected to be released in late November.
"I love Americana rock, and that kind of in that Quiet Corral category, and I also just love pop music, whether that's Prince, Michael Jackson, or '80s stuff like Tears for Fears or Hall and Oates," Flynn said. "I love all of that, and I wanted to find a way to incorporate some of that into
the influences we had with Ouiet Corral."
The first verse of New Oasis has an Americana feel to it, with its sparse instrumentation and folky vocal harmonies. The second verse has more of an '80s style pop where the drumbeat drops are comparable to a Michael lackson song.
KJHK's station manager Mathew Primovic, a first-year graduate student from Overland Park, said he was very impressed by "New Oasis," especially the vocals.
"I really liked how seamless it felt between the buildup and the rock-out section," Primovic said. "Also, the production value was phenomenal. I've listened to it several times, and I've just loved it every time."
Back when Quiet Corral formed, many of the members were only 18 or 19 years old and Flynn said there were definitely some maturity issues.
"This project is more focused and more mature," Flynn said. "Now it's like, we know how to do this, and we can do this confidently."
Hembree's sound has definitely evolved as well. Whereas Quiet Corral was a straight-ahead Americana rock group, with Flynn's songwriting as the chief creative element, there is a noticeable change in style.
Local singer-songwriter Spencer Mackenzie Brown has been excited about Hembree's music ever since he heard some of the unmixed songs a few months back.
"I think what they're doing now is a natural evolution for their band," Brown said. "I can't speak for them, but it seems like they're all really enjoying that, and it comes out in the music."
Brown said he thought Flynn's lyrics were particularly thoughtful, and his words contained much more depth than many other songwriters.
"Isaac did write in Quiet Corral, but it was mostly Jesse," Brown said. "He wrote this music in his basement on his own before they even knew they would be forming a band. I think it comes from a really honest place."
Flynn, Barnes and Brown each mentioned they felt Lawrence was a definite creative hub, and they were honored to be surrounded daily by such amazing talent.
"I get a lot of influence just from growing up here, and living in this city," Flynn said. "I'm really proud to be from Lawrence."
Flynn said he has always known he wanted to pursue music as a career, he said when he was younger he had imaginary friends that he was in a band with. His parents are both musicians and while he
was growing up they owned a recording studio as well as Lawrence's Mass St. Music downtown.
"I grew up surrounded by music." Flynn said. "My whole life was going to shows with them."
Barnes chose music as a career path for other reasons. He said while he was in school he soon realized music was the one thing he knew he was truly good at. Barnes is not only a musician, but also a sound engineer who, in the last year, has produced local bands Forrester and Middle Twin's EP's among other local acts.
He said he didn't see himself as doing anything but being someone who works with music and musicians and said he appreciates working with Isaac and seeing him take on a larger role.
"Isaac's got such a passion for leading our band now," he said. "His enthusiasm — it stems from that. It's good and infectious, and everyone feeds from that."
Hembee will play its first show this Friday in Kansas City, Mo., at the Plaza Art Fair. Hembee's first show in Lawrence will be Nov. 22 at the Bottleneck with local Lawrence artist Your Friend.

Cop faces 2nd trial in 7-year-old girl's death
DETROIT — A member of an elite Detroit police unit is set to stand trial again for killing a 7-year-old girl during a 2010 raid on her house that was captured on video by a reality TV crew.
Nobody alleges Officer Joseph Weekley intended to kill
Aiyana Stanley-Jones, who had been sleeping on a couch near the front door when officers burst through around midnight in search of a murder suspect. But prosecutors charged him with involuntary manslaughter because they believe he handled his submachine gun recklessly, causing the girl's death.
Jury selection starts Monday in Wayne County court, 15 months after Weekley's first trial ended with jurors unable to agree on a verdict. Weekley was a member of Detroit's Special Response Team, which was sent to an east side neighborhood to capture a suspect in the killing of a teenager outside a
convenience store.
Police threw a stun grenade through a window, emitting smoke, bright light and vibrations to confuse anyone inside. Weekley was first through the door, with a shield in one hand and a gun in the other. He claims he accidentally pulled the trigger when Aiyana's grandmother,
Mertilla Jones, grabbed his gun. She denies that she interfered in any way.
The raid was recorded for a police reality TV show, "The First 48," but there was no footage from inside the house. The target, Chauncey Owens, eventually was arrested and convicted of killing a 17-year-old boy.

Lawrence City Band performs concert for city's anniversary
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@MarissaUDK
The Lawrence City Band started so long ago that the true formation is unknown. From Massachusetts to Lawrence, the original founders of Lawrence brought their instruments along, said Robert Foster, band conductor and music professor at the University. That is why it was appropriate for the Lawrence City Band to play at Lawrence's 160th anniversary celebration last week at South Park.
Foster said the band was formally established in 1968. Originally it was organized by a band director at KU who was also an employee at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, along with an employee from KU Registrar and an assistant dean of the School of Fine Arts.
Ten years ago, on the
150th anniversary, the band made its first appearance at the festival and has continued playing at the event ever since. Ed Bartley, a trombone player for the band, said having the band play at the festival resulted in a dramatic increase in attendance.
What makes the band unique are the people who orchestrate and conduct these instruments. Foster is currently the conductor of the band, though he started out as a trumpet player in 1971. Foster said when he found out about the band, he decided to try it out and said he is happy with his decision. He also said he loves the people, the players, the music and the opportunity to play with good players and good music.
"What drives you to breathe? It's just part of what
you are, isn't it? he said. Bartley is a previous band director at Lawrence High School and is one of the longest standing members of the band.
you are. isn't it?" he said.
"Forty-four years have gone by," he said. "I love to play the horn, I love to play in the band, I love the people. All the people who I have known and respected, these are my great friends. It is an honor and a privilege to be in the band."
Bartley was raised to play music as it was a staple in his family's life and he had a great experience playing in the band as a kid. He has continued with his passion for music ever since. Now, Bartley is driven by his kids and continues with his music career to inspire them because he said they keep him young.
"You get out of bed and you tear into it, that's what it
amounts to." Bartley said. "I am a band geek. That is all there is to it."
Dean Sommerville, a tuba player for the Lawrence City Band, previously served as a member of the Army Field Band in Washington, D.C. After visiting his kids who attended KU, he and his wife decided to move to Lawrence and both quickly joined the band. Sommerville says he truly enjoys being in the band and it is one of the best he has ever played in. Sommerville has played the tuba for 46 years.
"I enjoy playing band music with a really good [organization] under someone who really knows what they are doing and appreciates the people who are working for them," he said. "That would be Bob Foster."

Miss North Dakota, Jacky Arness was chosen by her peers as Miss Congeniality.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Miss New York Kira Kazantsev was named the new Miss America Sunday night, marking the third year in a row a contestant from her state has walked away with the crown in the nationally televised pageant.
Kazantsev received the crown at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall from outgoing Miss America — and Miss New York — Nina Davuluri.
Other top 5 finalists were Miss Arkansas Ashton Jo Campbell; Miss Florida Victoria Cowen; and Miss Massachusetts Lauren Kuhn.
For her talent performance, Kazantsev sang Pharrell Williams' "Happy" while sitting cross-legged on the stage and banging a red plastic cup on the floor.
She named combating sexual assault in the military as the issue about which she would want female U.S. Senators to press their male counterparts.
The first runner-up was Miss Virginia Courtney Paige Garrett.
light on the struggling seaside gambling resort, which has been in the national news for all the wrong reasons lately: a rash of casino closings, thousands of unemployed workers, and a domestic violence case involving a former NFL star.
It featured iconic Atlantic City visuals including its beach, Boardwalk, the Steel Pier, Black Fish Pier near Brigantine, and the Atlantic City Beach Patrol station.
For three hours Sunday night, America got a different look at Atlantic City. The Miss America pageant presented an upbeat view of the city where it began in 1921.
"Atlantic City is facing a challenging economic climate and our hearts go out to all of those who have lost their jobs," said Sam Haskell III, CEO of the Miss America organization. "We hope that our Miss America telecast ... will generate great interest for Atlantic City on a national scale as we showcase their beautiful beaches and Boardwalk."
There has been no shortage of compelling storylines leading up to the selection of the next Miss America, including the way personal tragedy has

shaped the public service platforms of several contestants. The brother of Miss Wisconsin Raeanna Johnson killed himself after a secret addiction to methamphetamine. Her platform was the impact of substance abuse on the family.
The father of Miss Kansas Amanda Sasek killed himself when she was 17. Her platform was helping people find their strengths. And Miss Delaware Brittany Lewis is still waiting for an arrest to be made in the 2010 slaying of her sister. Her platform is combating domestic violence.
There was drama and even some low-brow comedy leading up to the finale. Miss Rhode Island, Ivy DePew, collapsed onstage during the first night of preliminary competition, but made it back the next night after two trips to the hospital for dehydration.
Supermodel and business mogul Kathy Ireland took the stage to burp on command on a dare from pageant host Dena Blizzard on the second night.

FOOTBALL FILM REVIEW
Kansas gets road game jitters in 41-3 loss against Duke
STELLA LIANG
@stelly liang
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: DE'ANDRE MANN
BRUNH. DE ANDREL MANY
The running back had 12 carries for 65 yards. He also had a catch-and-run of 36 yards in the fourth quarter, although the game was well out of reach by then. He picked up a key first down on the jayhawks' scoring drive in the first quarter.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE
GAME: JACOREY SHEPHERD Going into the game, the Kansas secondary focused on Duke receiver Jamison Crowder. Shepherd was key in covering Crowder and limiting him to two catches for 14 yards
PLAYER KANSAS STRUGGLED TO CONTAIN: SHAUN WILSON
The freshman running back burned Kansas and ran for 245 yards and three touchdowns. With his eight-yard run as time expired, he broke Duke's single-game record for rushing yards. He was also virtually untouched by the Kansas defense on his long touchdown runs of 69, 68 and 45 yards.
OFFENSE SUMMARY
OFFENSE SUMMARY The whole offense had a game to forget, especially quarterback Montell Cozart. He often looked uncomfortable and nervous. He bobbed snaps, kept the ball too long and overthrew receivers.
DEFENSE SUMMARY
The scoreboard says it all. The Kansas defense gave up big plays, including Wilson's touchdowns and a 36-yard touchdown through the air to start the game.
KANSAS 31 89
KHLOE KIM/THE DUKE CHRONICLE Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart scrambles from Duke defensive tackle Carlos Wray. Cozart headed a Kansas team that was defeated 41-3 on Saturday in Durham, N.C.
SPECIAL TEAMS SUMMARY
QUARTER SUMMARIES
SPECIAL TEAMS SUMMARY Punter Trevor Pardula was the bright spot. He was called on to punt eight times, and his punts averaged 51.8 yards, including a booming 72-yard kick in the third quarter. The Jayhawks were unable to return any of Duke's punts, but Shepherd had a nice 31-yard kickoff return in the second quarter.
PLAY OF THE GAME
Wide receiver Tony Pierson converted on a third down in the first quarter with a 14-yard catch. It set up Matthew Wyman's 34-yard field goal.
PLAY OF THE GAME
QUARTER SUMMARIES First quarter On its opening drive, Duke quarterback Anthony Boone connected with Max McCaffrey for a touchdown. Duke would add a field goal and Wilson's first touchdown run to start 17-0. Wyman made a field goal for Kansas' three points.
KHLOE KIM/THE DUKE CHRONICLE
Second quarter Duke tacked on a field goal to make it 20-3, but otherwise the Kansas defense held. Cozart threw his second pick of the game. On a promising drive, Cozart was sacked and was driven out of field goal range.
Third quarter - Visions of the first quarter came back and haunted Kansas. McCaffrey and Wilson scored their second touchdowns.
MOVING FORWARD
Fourth quarter — Duke and Kansas each had a turnover on downs. Kansas running backs Mann and Corey Avery had a couple nice runs that didn't turn into anything. Duke capped its scoring with Wilson's third touchdown.
There seems to be cause for concern, especially with Cozart. At times, he looked like he didn't know what to do and didn't want the ball. The wide receivers were never part of the game. Three receivers, Pierson,
down the field when it wanted to. At the very least, this Kansas team shows it has road jitters. It will be interesting to see how the team responds next week at home.
Nick Harwell and Justin McCay, each had two catches; tight end Jimmay Mundine added three. The running game showed promise, but was not utilized. The defense was burned for big gains, but also let the Duke offense march
Kansas tennis has mixed results at weekend tourney
Edited by Casey Hutchins
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
The Kansas women's tennis team cannot call its tournaments in Midland, Texas, and Little Rock, Ark., a success, but coach Todd Chapman didn't call it a failure either.
"It was definitely a learning experience for us," Chapman said. "Some of our results weren't exactly what we hoped to have. We had a couple girls that did really well, but we had mixed results."
For seven of the 11 players on the team, the tournament was their first time on the court at the collegiate level. Smith Hinton, a freshman from Raleigh, N.C., advanced to the quarterfinal in Texas, but her remaining match was rained out. Hinton was the only player to win a match at the Midland Invitational.
Overall, senior Maria Belen Luudena was the most successful Jayhawk of the weekend. At the CCLR Collegiate Invite in Little Rock, she defeated Arkansas'
Oleksandra Shkorupeieva to become the singles B Flight champion. Luduena was the only player for Kansas to win on the first day of that tournament.
"It was definitely a learning experience for us. Some of our results weren't exactly what we hoped to have."
TODD CHAPMAN
Kansas tennis coach
These tournaments included other Big 12 competition like Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, as well as some ranked opponents. Chapman said that his team needs to acclimate itself to face better competition.
"When you're playing against really good players, which we did at both tournaments this weekend, you get mentally and physically fatigued with every single point, and as a group we have to get used to doing that," Chapman said.
Kansas' doubles record over the weekend was the most concerning for Chapman; the Jayhawks did not win a doubles match over the entire weekend.
"We've got to get a lot better at our doubles," he said. "Our doubles results were not very good at all in both tournaments."
Chapman said it was important to challenge his players by sending them to tournaments that show their weaknesses.
"[Playing better competition] exposes weaknesses and that's why we're playing in the tournaments we play in. We want to see what our weaknesses are... it lets us know what we need to work on," Chapman said.
The team will play in the Oklahoma Invitational next weekend. Chapman said he hopes to improve in doubles matches and gain more collegiate experience for the young team.

Kansas secondary has up-and-down performance
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
Strength versus strength. The talk leading up to Saturday's showdown between Kansas and Duke was on the premier matchup between each team's biggest strength. Duke's NFL-caliber receivers arguably faced one of the best secondary units in Kansas history.
The Jayhawks recorded three interceptions last week in their 34-28 victory in the season opener against Southeast Missouri State. Senior Dexter McDonald earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors with a two-interception evening.
He and the rest of the secondary had its hands full against the Blue Devils, though.
Coming into Saturday's contest, the highly touted No. 1 receiver, senior Jamison Crowder, caught 14 balls for 163 yards and two scores in two games. Weis compared him with Baltimore Ravens receiver Steve Smith because of his quickness.
But teams couldn't focus too much on Crowder without being burnt by senior Issac Blakeney. The 6-foot-6
prototypical NFL receiver had nine receptions for 135 yards with three scores coming into Saturday's game.
"I wouldn't put out anything in particular; we just need to bring our A-game like every other game," senior safety Cassius Sendish said before the game. "If we do that like we know we can, we will come out victorious."
"That was embarrassing... there's going to be plenty of blame to share."
CHARLIE WEIS Kansas football coach
Despite losing to the Blue Devils 41-3, the Jayhawks held up to Sendish's comments by silencing the Duke dynamic duo. The KU secondary proved the doubters wrong, holding Crowder and Blakeney to just six receptions for 52 yards and no touchdowns.
It was Duke's third option, junior Max McCaffrey, who found holes in the Kansas secondary. McCaffrey had just nine catches for 99 yards and no touchdowns before Saturday's contest. McCaffrey
scored twice on seven receptions for 79 yards against the Jayhawks.
The ground game contributed to a majority of the offense's 511 yards and 41 points. The Blue Devils rushed for 331 yards to help out an air attack that struggled to do much against the KU secondary.
Freshman running back Shaun Wilson, who was not listed on the depth chart before the game, gashed the Jayhawks. Wilson ran for a school-record 245 yards on 12 carries and three touchdowns
Like the receiver unit, an unexpected player torched the defense in the running game.
Sept. 12, 2009, remains the last road victory for Kansas after an unlikely 41-3 drubbing by the Blue Devils. Despite the loss, the secondary showed promise, proving they may be as good as advertised. But if the front seven can't contain a freshman who was unlisted on the initial depth chart, it may be another year before the Jayhawks can snap this streak of road losses.
"That was embarrassing," Weis said. "Other than the punter, there's going to be plenty of blame to share."

Broncos fend off Chiefs 24-17 with goal-line stand
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It took the Denver Broncos three tries to put away the Kansas City Chiefs.
Terrance Knighton batted away Alex Smith's fourth-and-goal pass to Dwayne Bowe with 15 seconds left, preserving the Broncos' 24-17 win over the scrappy Chiefs on Sunday.
The Broncos (2-0) thought they had sealed the win twice earlier on the drive.
Aqib Talib's pick-6 was negated by Quanterus Smith's hold. Then, Nate Irving's fumble recovery following DeMarcus Ware's sack and strip was ruled an incomplete pass after a review.
The Chiefs (0-2), without All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles for much of the game, converted 11 of 16 third-down
opportunities overall. They just couldn't capitalize in the biggest moments as the Broncos mustered two goalline stands for the second straight week.
Peyton Manning was 21 of 26 for 242 yards and three TDs, but the Broncos had the ball for less than 10 minutes in the second half.
Charles left with an ankle injury in the first half, as did safety Eric Berry. These ailments came one week after three Chiefs suffered season-ending injuries.
Smith was 26 of 42 for 255 yards, and Knile Davis ran 22 times for 79 yards and two touchdowns for Kansas City.
Without Wes Welker for the second straight game and facing a defense that lost Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Johnson and tackle Mike DeVito to torn
Achilles tendons last week, Manning targeted his tight ends again.
He found Julius Thomas and Jacob Tamme for 4-yard TDs in the first half. Thomas became the first tight end in franchise history to catch four TD passes in the first two games.
Manning also threw a 12-yarder to Demaryius Thomas, who pinned the football on his left shoulder blade with cornerback Chris Owens draping him.
The Broncos head to Seattle next week with a 2-0 record, if not exactly a head of steam, to face the Seahawks, who handed them a Super Bowl shellacking and then talked trash about them in the offseason.
Emmanuel Sanders led the Broncos with eight catches for 108 yards, the first 100- yard game of his career.
Denver GM John Elway retooled his ground game and embarked on a defensive makeover after that 43-8 Super Bowl loss. Yet, the Broncos have been unable to salt away big leads or get off the field consistently.
Smith led the Chiefs on a 19-play drive that ate up 10 minutes coming out of halftime. They came up empty after getting to the Denver 4 on the strength of five third-down conversions.
They have come up big when backed up near their goal line, though.
An offensive holding call and linebacker Brandon Marshall's sack dropped them back to the 19. Cairo Santos was wide right on a 37-yard field goal attempt.
Santos, who beat out incumbent veteran Ryan Succop with a strong leg in
training camp, also failed to kick a touchback later in the game, and Bubba Caldwell returned it 54 yards, setting up a score.
Davis trotted in from 4 yards, pulling Kansas City to 21-17 with 7:11 left. He also had a 2-yard TD run in the first half.
Caldwell's big kickoff return set up Brandon McManus' 20-yard field goal that put Denver ahead by seven with 3:27 remaining.
The Chiefs got it right the next time, however, converting all three third downs on a 14-play drive that covered 90 yards and chewed up nearly eight minutes. The key was Anthony Fasano's bobbling 22-yard grab to the Broncos 25.
Charles left after running just twice for 4 yards and catching one pass for 8
yards. Kansas City was trying to get him more involved after giving him just seven carries against Tennessee in the opener. Charles rushed for 1,287 yards a season ago, which was third most in the NFL.
Demaryius Thomas had an 80-yard TD catch negated when right tackle Chris Clark was whistled for being downfield.

Weis has some explaining to do
There were just four seconds remaining in the game. Duke led Kansas 41-3. Some may have found little meaning in the eight-yard run from Duke running back Shaun Wilson, but it was actually filled with it.

As Kansas went down Saturday, so did the Duke single-game rushing record with Wilson's 245-yard performance. Wilson spent the bulk of his day in the end zone, rushing for three touchdowns: one for 45 yards, one for 68 yards and another for 69 yards.

two seasons than the final one.
But when he addressed the media Sept. 13 before the game, Weis was swelling with optimism.
Wilson, the true freshman,
not even listed on Duke's two
deep depth chart this week,
broke through the Kansas defensive line and put his name in the record books.
785. 864.4900
"That was embarrassing," Weis said. "Other than the punter, there's going to be plenty of blame to share."
Duke went for 511 total yards of offense to Kansas' 297.
"To win on the road, you have to do the same things you do to win at home, just better," offensive coordinator John Reagan said.
"I'm just trying to do my job," Weis said, "which I didn't do very well today."
After watching Saturday, I'd like to ask Weis for a copy of that "visual evidence."
Senior linebacker Ben Heeney cited a lack of juice in the stadium as the culprit of
the 21 points allowed in last week's fourth quarter. It's hard to imagine a Blue Devil crowd of 25,203 was
particularly hostile, but if Kansas is that reliant on the crowd's饮 to carry them to victory, it should come as no surprise that Kansas has lost 28-straight games away from Memorial Stadium.

To be fair, Charlie Weis is not responsible for the 28 consecutive road losses, and had probably be the first to tell you that. You have to remember, he was hired in December 2011 for a guaranteed $2.5 million over five years.
But one thing he'll have to concede is that he is responsible for 12 of the 28 — I'm no math major, but I know that's approaching almost half.
"I'm just trying to do my job, which I didn't do very well today."
It's quite a struggle to point to Weis-recruited players who have produced. Ben Heeney, James Sims and Tony Pierson, the biggest names to take the field for the Jayhawks since 2012, were all Turner Gill's pickings.
When a player not listed on Duke's two-deep averages 20.4 yards per carry, and your starting quarterback completes 11 of 27 passes for 89 yards, you've got some issues. This kind of performance would be disappointing but excusable in year one of a rebuild, but in year three, with a senior-laden team, it becomes pathetic — a fire-able offense. Saturday didn't provide me any "visual evidence" that this program is headed in the right direction.

FACT OF THE DAY
THE MORNING BREW
As a team, the Atlanta Hawks ranked second in the NBA in assists per game each of the last two seasons.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
NBA.com
Q: Which Atlanta Hawks player led the NBA in 3-point field goal percentage last season (minimum 100 attempts)?
A: Kyle Korver (47.2%)
——ESPN.com
Racist comments could derail one of the NBA's most consistent franchises
Last weeks racist comments by Danny Ferry, Atlanta Hawks general manager, concerning NBA free agent Luol Deng were made public. This came after Atlanta Hawks co-owner Bruce Levenson announced he would sell his shares in the team after he had self-reported an email he wrote two years ago, complaining about the race of the team's audience.
Racist remarks by two of the Atlanta Hawks' high-ranking members are detrimental to the team with the second highest African-American fan base in the NBA. African-Americans make up nearly 48 percent of Atlanta's fans, according to an article by editor and statistician Nate Silver of the ESPN blog FiveThirtyEight.com. Not only are ticket sales and overall fan support in jeopardy, free agents might simply choose to steer clear of Atlanta, which could be disastrous for the

team's records.
Before the publication of these remarks, Atlanta had been a pillar of consistency as far as on-the-court play was concerned. The Hawks were one of two teams to consistently make the playoffs for the last seven seasons, and the team won at least 35 games in each of those years.
Over the past decade, Atlanta stayed somewhat quiet in terms of attention for its constant success, but the accomplishments of the franchise
have certainly been nothing to scoff at. Atlanta has managed to get to the postseason year after year, despite not having a player who many would consider a household name. In fact, Atlanta did not have a single player make the All-NBA First or Second Team throughout the past seven seasons.
During the 2013 offseason, Atlanta acquired free agent Paul Millsap, who put up impressive numbers. In the playoffs, he led the Hawks in minutes, points, rebounds, steals and blocks per game. Millsap's play was a key factor in how the eight-seed Hawks were able to push the one-seed Indiana Pacers to a full seven-game series.
However, if Millsap had chosen to sign elsewhere because of an issue like the one the Hawks are facing right now, it wouldn't be far-fetched to suggest that Atlanta would've missed

be a yearly occurrence.
During the Citi Carmelo Anthony Basketball Camp, seven-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony said players may be hesitant to join the Hawks now.
"I think it puts Atlanta back even further now. ... [Comments] from an owner, from a GM, those are not things you play with," Anthony said.

Kansas soccer stays hot, improves to 8-0
sports
After scoring the game-winning goal, junior forward Ashley Williams celebrates with senior midfielder Jamie Fletcher. The Jayhawks played against UMKC on Sunday. Kansas won 1-0 against its opponent, firing 12 shots on goal compared to UMKC's three.
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
Kansas soccer continued its historic start to the season by winning a pair of home games this weekend. The Jayhawks improved their record to 8-0, which is the best record to start a season and the longest winning streak in program history.
The Crimson and Blue came into the weekend with plenty of momentum built up after sweeping two games in Colorado last weekend, vaulting them into the top-25 rankings at No. 20.
On Friday night, Cal State Northridge came to Lawrence on a cold, windy night hoping to cool down the Jayhawk offense, but came out unsuccessful. Senior midfielder Jamie Fletcher returned to action after missing the first six games due to injury. She scored ten goals in her first three seasons at Kansas and didn't waste time adding another.
Fletcher scored the first goal of the match in the 74th minute, which ended up being the game winner as the Jayhawks shutout the Matadors. Kansas added another goal just before time
expired as junior forward Ashley Williams picked up a pass from senior forward Ali Kimura to score her second of the season and secure the team's seventh victory.
"I thought we did a really good job at staying focused and it came together at the end."
ASHLEY WILLIAMS Junior forward
The final score was 2-0,
good for Kansas' third
shutout of the season.
"I was happy with the performance," coach Mark Francis said. "It was a bit of a fight, and we knew we would get that from these guys, but I'm glad we were able to pull it out in the end."
On Sunday, the University of Missouri-Kansas City made the 45-mile trip to Lawrence to take on the undefeated Jayhawks. Like Friday, neither team scored in the first half.
Although Kansas didn't score in the first half, it still dominated the offensive possession and had 13 shots to UMKC's zero. The
Jayhawks had several good scoring opportunities, but a couple of diving saves by Kangaroo goalkeeper Nina Tzianos helped keep the game scoreless.
Scoring was hard to come by in the second half, too. It wasn't until the 82nd minute when junior forward Ashley Williams scored a goal to put the Jayhawks up late. It was the only goal Kansas needed.
Kansas led the way and controlled most of the scoring opportunities with 27 shots and 12 on goal. UMKC only recorded three shots.
"That's kind of soccer," Williams said. "You can outplay a team and still not score a goal. I thought we did a really good job at staying focused and it came together at the end."
UMKC made a late push, but it wasn't enough when the final whistle blew and Kansas won 1-0, notching its second shutout of the weekend and fourth of the season.
"I was a little bit disappointed with our lack of focus in the beginning of the game, but the second half was better," Francis said.

The No. 24 Kansas volleyball team (9-2) finished 3-1 at the Villanova Classic in Philadelphia over the weekend. The Jayhawks won their first three games handily, but fell to defending national champion Penn State in straight sets in their final match.
The volleyball team huddles together at a match against UMKC at Horejsi Family Athletic Center. Kansas finished 3-1 at the Villanova Classic this weekend.

Kansas breezed through its first three matches, kicking off the Classic with a win in straight sets against Villanova (4-7), 25-12, 27-25, 25-19 Friday. Freshman setter Ainise Havili led the way for the Jayhawks, recording her third consecutive double-double, with 33 assists and 11 digs. Sophomore middle blocker Tayler Soucie gave
"It's really important to start with a 3-0 win," coach Ray Bechard said. "We played so much volleyball this weekend that if we can come out, do good work and not have to overextend ourselves, that's the route to go."
The Jayhawks kept the momentum rolling into the second match later in the day, defeating four-time defending Ivy League champion Yale (2-4) in straight sets, 25-22, 25-15, 25-21. Soucie was a major contributor again, this time logging a career-high .652 kill percentage with nine kills and no kill errors. Freshman middle blocker Kayla Cheadle led the team with 12 kills and sophomore libero Cassie Wait chipped in 20 digs.
"There were stretches during the Yale match that we played as well as we've played all year," Bechard said.
Kansas began Saturday by beating defending Patriot League champion American (5-4) in four sets, 19-25, 25-20, 25-16, 25-17. After dropping the first set, the Jayhawks battled back with a series of scoring runs, jumping out to a 7-1 lead in the third set, and then a 10-1 lead to begin the fourth. Senior outside hitter
"American played at a level that we knew they were going to play at," Bechard said. "They are very clean offensively, but we just couldn't get into a defense rhythm. I thought we were siding out OK, but
Chelsea Albers led Kansas, recording a double-double, logging 11 digs and a career-high 22 kills.
In their final match, the Jayhawks ran into defending national champion Penn State, dropping the game in straight sets, 10-25, 25-27, 23-25. After a brutal first set, Kansas recovered to give the Nittany Lions a difficult time in sets
defensively we finally settled down in the second set. We really played well after that."
"There are some things to take away from this to feel good about, but we won't settle for a three-set loss either,"
two and three, but ultimately the defending national champions were simply too much. Freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon finished with a team-leading 11 kills and a .333 kill percentage.
Bechard said. "Even though sets two and three were close, you've got to find a way to at least get one of those to extend the match."
Kansas will return to action Friday when it takes on North Texas at Horejsi Family Athletics Center at noon.

'LET'S TALK ABOUT IT'
Campus groups encourage male participation in sexual assault conversation
DALTON KINGERY
@DaltonKingnews
Until men start engaging in conversations about sexual assault, Drew Harger said things won't change.
"You participate in the same society whether you're actively speaking out or not. And so, until things are changed, men have to be speaking with other men about the issues," said Harger, a senior from McPherson, and a member of Alpha Tau Omega.
A panel discussion, Multiple Masculinities: A Cross-Cultural Conversation with Men at KU, will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center's classroom as part of KU's Sexual Assault Awareness Week.
The discussion is sponsored by The Office of Multicultural Affairs, Students United for Reproductive and Gender Equity (SURGE), the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, and Alpha Tau
Omega (ATO).
"We need to start by having a frank conversation," said Joey Hentzler, a senior from Topeka. "A lot of guys for some reason feel attacked when we're having conversations about women's issues, or women's rights, or feminism. But that's not it. It's not about men, or victimizing men. It's about elevating women to an equal footing."
While student activists like the September Siblings have directly engaged the University by protesting the way sexual assault cases are being handled, other students said it's important to start an open dialogue throughout the gender spectrum about sexual assault and gender equality within the University community.
Hentzler said one of the main obstacles to initiating these conversations in the community is the fact that many men are not comfortable discussing rape, sexual violence or gender equality.
"Men feel like they're being blamed for 100 percent of the problem, and I can see how it might land on them that way," said Kathy Olcott, a sophomore from Lawrence and undergraduate intern for the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity. "But most women aren't trying to blame them. Most women just want them to help us and be part of the solution."
"...until things are changed, men have to be speaking with other men about the issues."
"You're never going to fully understand what it's like," Garrett said. "I'll never know what it's like to be a woman walking home from the bars concerned about my safety. But what you can do is start conversation. Meaningful conversation that begins with a place of understanding and learning. Men need to develop a sense of openness and understanding and see where women are coming from."
DREW HARGER
Senior from McPherson
Mitchell Cota, president of Spectrum KU, a student organization focused on
Olcott said that she doesn't think most men realize how behaviors like using derogatory language about women or catcalling can further perpetuate the issue.
"It is a hard thing to talk
gender and sexuality diversity, said that traditional ideas about masculinity and gender roles play a part in making men hesitant to engage in these conversations.
"I think men tend to allow the media in general to portray them in a way that never makes them seem like the survivor or victim and a lot of men in general have this notion about themselves that they should never complain about something," Cota said. "I think that feeds into why men feel uncomfortable about this is that they can't really relate to the situation."
about, and it requires a lot of understanding, caring and empathy, and sometimes it's difficult for men to take a step back and say: I want to hear you out, I want to hear what you have to say about this issue," said Michael Garrett, a senior from Lenexa and Board of Class Officers President for the Class of 2015.
Garrett said he also believes that men have difficulty relating to some of the challenges that women face.
+
Still other factors, such as a lack of education, can make men feel unprepared to engage in dialogues about sexuality and sexual violence.
"A lot of times it starts with a lack of education, and not knowing what sexual assault looks like," Garrett said. "A lot of guys think it's very common sense: you don't rape people. What a lot of men don't understand is that it really goes
much further than that."
There are men on campus that understand the importance of having these conversations and being a part of the solution.
In terms of working toward solutions, Jonathan Mosher, the president of Alpha Tau Omega, said it begins with men taking ownership of their role in the solution.
"Part of it is changing our language about assault and rape and consent; how many times have you said 'Man, that test raped me today?' And that's not rape," Mosher said. "Men need to hold each other accountable."
Changing the way men talk and think about women, on an individual level, may be another step in the right direction.
"The language we use every day will translate into what we're thinking, then ultimately into our actions," Harger said. "We need to be keeping people accountable on every level."

Students report mixed residence hall experiences

For Elise Base, broken and leaking pipes were just the beginning of her problems when she moved into Corbin Hall.
Within a few days, Base, a freshman from Norman, Okla., and her roommate discovered mold throughout their room. In the midst of finding a solution for her dorm, Base found herself dealing with a different problem, this time in the lobby of Corbin.
"The RAs' had moved the couches in the lobby around for our floor meeting. Under one of the couches, they found a dead bat," Base said.
The resident assistants quickly disposed of the bat.
Some students have noticed problems living in residence halls, such as this dead bat found in Corbin Hall.

director for residence life. "We want to be responsible and we want students to enjoy their living experience in the dorms."
Wamelink said she had no knowledge of what happened, but she did admit that bats do sometimes get into the residence halls.
"When it does happen, we do a full investigation and treat the area," Wamelink said. "When the students are not present and the building is empty over summer vacation, the bats tend to migrate to the empty space."
Marissa Sartory, a freshman from Overland Park, said she enjoys living in the dorms and she hasn't experienced any problems while living in GSP.
Devin Steinhauser, a freshman from Kansas City, Mo., said she doesn't feel the same way about McCollum, where she lives.
Steinhauser said she heard negative things about McCollum Hall before moving
"It's always clean and kept up," Sartory said.
in, and once she made the move, Steinhauser discovered a leak. With her bed covered in water, she said she immediately took action to get it fixed.
"My roommate and I went to the desk and had a maintenance request. We asked twice and nobody showed up," Steinhauser said.
When maintenance came a few days later, they placed a bucket down for the water to fall into. Steinhauser said.
Wamelink said she is aware of the issues with pipes.
"In all of our halls, particularly on move-in day, the air conditioning is running and it collides with the warm, hot air that's coming in, causing condensation and water dripping," Wamelink said. "I'm specifically aware of this happening in McCollum."
"The dorms aren't in horrible condition," Griffith said.

Wamelink said while she did not hear about the specific situation, that's most likely what happened to Steinhauser.
The leak stopped once Steinhauser and her roommate configured their air
Wamelink said that despite McCollum being in its last year as a residence hall, she believes the dorm is in good condition.
"McCollum is in excellent shape. We have continued to
do updates, and even added newfurniture," Wamelink said, "But it is not a new building, or as renovated as some of the others on the hill."

City starts new recycling program

@ajf_1212
The Lawrence City Commission has authorized a residential recycling service for single-family and multi-family homes that will begin collection Tuesday, Oct. 21. Distribution of recycle bins began on Monday, Sept. 8 and will continue through October.
The sustainability advisory board appointed a solid waste task force three years ago in hopes of creating a long-term recycling plan. After numerous proposals and recommendations, the task force decided on a curbside pickup program.
TARA BRYANT/KANSAN
Solid Waste Manager Kathy Richardson is looking forward to offering 24,000 Lawrence homes a convenient way to recycle.
On Oct. 21 Lawrence will begin offering curbside recycling. Distribution of the 24,000 recycling bins will take place through mid-October.
"Our goal is to provide a service to our customers who have been requesting an easy recycling collection service," Richardson said. "It's so easy that anyone can recycle."
Collection of recycling will be every other week on the same day as the resident's trash pickup, which varies by location.
Kate Hartland, a sophomore from Phoenix was surprised when she moved into a Lawrence house and realized there wasn't an active recycling program.
“[A recycling program] seems like something that would have been spearheaded a long time ago,” Hartland said. “I think the Lawrence community is pretty aware and willing to participate in programs that will better the area.”
Richardson said the logistics for a recycling program have been under
The new recycling service will add $2.81 to monthly solid waste rate services in October. The extra cost stems from funding recycling trucks, personnel running

the trucks and the $45 fee for every ton recycled.
Jesse Schons, a sophomore from Stillwell, said he is more than willing to pay the extra recycling fee.
"You can't put a price on saving this Earth," Schons said. "The beauty that it holds is astronomically more
valuable than mere money."
Residents with special needs are able to request smaller recycling bins for their convenience. Residents are also able to refuse recycling services via an online form.

New IKEA store opens in Merriam
Students at the University of Kansas have a new place where they can shop for furniture one minute and enjoy a meal the next.
IKEA, a Swedish-based furniture store, has opened in Merriam, only a 45-minute drive from the University. This is the 40th IKEA to open in the United States since the brand's American debut in 1985. While they offer no student discounts, IKEA's flat shipping face cover lamps
Joseph Roth, the Merriam IKEA spokesperson, said Lawrence residents and KU students no longer have to drive to Minnesota or other states to purchase IKEA furniture.
Roth said if he were a college student, he would shop online with many classmates so they could all share one cheaper shipping fee.
"Folks in Lawrence, whether KU students or residents of Lawrence, now have closer access to IKEA objects that are functional, affordable and stylish." Roth said.
Furniture isn't all IKEA has to offer, though. It also has a restaurant that provides both American and Swedish cuisine. In addition to cultural food choices, they also have 99-cent breakfasts.
Marisa Pattison, a freshman from Louisburg, is looking forward to going to the Merriam IKEA.
"I'm excited that our area will finally have a trendy furniture place to shop at," Pattison said. "I will be going to [IKEA], in hopes of finding good deals on high quality furniture."
IKEA opened last Wednesday, and had a variety of sales and promotional giveaways to go along with the opening. The first 40 adults in line received a free EKTORP three-seat sofa, the next 100 received a POANG armchair, and the first 100 children were offered a free FAMMIG heart-shaped cushion toy. Several free giveaways and promotions continued through opening week.

But the Republican, who is seeking a second two-year term in the Kansas House.
"Gary will say or do anything to get elected," Claeys said. "In the last election, Gary said I lived in Hays. He has serious issues with the truth."
He blames his opponent, Democrat Gary Swartzendruber, for raising questions about his residency. Swartzendruber also ran against Claeys in the previous election.
Swartzendruber denied that, and added that his problem

that he lives with his sister, her husband and their three children in Salina, Claeys said, but he declined to discuss them with the Journal.
He said he was born and raised in Salina, where his parents, J.B. and Judy Claeys, still live. If he lived with his parents, he would be in the 71st District, which is represented by Diana Dierks, also a Republican.
Claeys said his opponents are fishing for something to sway voters.
"This is a group of people who don't want to see me elected to office, because of the issues," he said. "They can't win on the issues, so this is what they resort to."

Gamers use police to scare opponents
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The calls to 911 raised an instant alarm: One caller said he shot his co-workers at a Colorado video game company and had hostages. Another in Florida said her father was drunk, wielding a machine gun and threatening their family.
POLICE POLICE POLICE POLICE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nassau County police officers enter a home in Long Beach, N.Y., on April 22 in search of an armed killer, based on a phone call that turned out to be a hoax. Authorities say the dangerous and costly prank known as "swatting" is becoming increasingly popular among people who play combat games over live video feeds while thousands of people watch. Authorities estimated they spent $100,000 to send more than 60 officers to the Long Beach, Long Island swapping hoax.
A third caller on New York's Long Island claimed to have killed his mother and threatened to shoot first responders.
In each case, SWAT teams dispatched to the scene found no violent criminals or wounded victims — only video game players sitting at their computers, the startled victims of a hoax known as "swatting."
"It's like creating your own episode of 'Cops'" said Dr. John Grohol, a research psychologist who studies online behavior, referring to the long-running reality TV show that follows officers on patrol.
Authorities say the hoax that initially targeted celebrities has now become a way for players of combat-themed video games to retaliate against opponents while thousands of spectators watch. The perpetrators can watch their hijinks unfold minute by minute in a window that shows a live video image of other players.
The players, who are often many miles away, look up their opponent's addresses in phone directories, sometimes using services that can find unlisted numbers. They also exploit online programs that trick 911 dispatchers into believing an emergency call is coming from the victim's phone or address. All the while, they conceal their own identities and locations.
Authorities spent an estimated $100,000 to send more than 60 officers in April to the hoax in Long Beach, N.Y. Investigators said the caller was upset over losing a game of Call of Duty when he called police using Skype. SWAT officers found only a teenager wearing headphones.
In Bradenton, Fla., at least 15 officers showed up at the home of a professional video game player on Aug. 31 after a caller posing as his young daughter phoned in a report that he was armed and drunk. Instead, they found him playing Minecraft for a live audience over Twitch.tv, an online network with millions of viewers.
The officers responding do not know, other than the information they're getting over the radio, exactly what is going on," said Bradenton police Capt. William Fowler.
Less than a week later, police received another bogus call routed through the man's phone that made it appear he had called in a bomb threat to a Bradenton gas station.
A Connecticut man was arrested Sept. 10 on federal charges that he made swatting calls there and in at least four other states. Authorities say Matthew Tollis, 21, belonged to a group that referred to itself as TeAM Crucifix or Die. Other members live in the United Kingdom, according to the FBI, which is still trying to learn their identities.
Swatting captured headlines several years ago, when a series of celebrity homes were targeted in Los Angeles. Police were so concerned about copycat crimes that they stopped releasing any public information when a hoax occurred. Officers made at least one arrest, a juvenile who targeted Justin Bieber and
Ashton Kutcher
"Real life becomes almost meaningless because they're so entrenched and involved in these games."
KIMBERLY YOUNG Psychologist
"You can literally do it from around the world," said Justin Cappos, assistant professor of computer science at New York University. "It can be very challenging (to solve) depending on the sophistication of the person doing it."
Realizing the difficulty,
police in Littleton, Colo., sought help from FBI agents in Denver who are specially trained to solve cyber-crime.
Grohol, the psychologist, said the prevalence of live game-streaming might be one reason for the trend. As the victim in the Colorado case, Jordan Mathewson, put it to KMGH-TV: "They get to see all this go down right before their eyes and, you know, it's fun to them."
Intensely competitive war games that blur the lines of fantasy and reality could also contribute, said Dr. Kimberly Young, a psychologist who directs the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery in Bradford, Penn.
"They want to win at all costs, including jeopardizing
someone's safety," she said. "Real life becomes almost meaningless because they're so entrenched and involved in these games. Swatting, to them, seems like part of the game."
A video of the Aug. 27 incident in Littleton posted on YouTube shows Mathewson playing a first-person shooter game when he hears officers approaching.
"I think we're getting swatted," he says, raising his hands as heavily armed officers shout for him to get on the ground. He drops, and officers handcuff and frisk him.
"That's live streaming," Mathewson tells the officers. "I guess a joker thought it would be funny to call you guys in."

Kansas Supreme Court to hear Taylor v. Kobach case Tuesday
The Kansas Supreme Court will hear arguments from U.S. Senate candidate Chad Taylor and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
According to Taylor's lawsuit, the Secretary of State's office, specifically Bradley Bryant, deputy assistant secretary of state for elections and legislative matters, told him his letter would be sufficient for withdrawal. When Kobach denied his removal, he said that Taylor's letter did not say that Taylor would be incapable of serving, which is required by KSA 25-306b(b).
Both Bryant and Bryan Caskey, assistant state election director for the secretary of state's office, have both filed affidavits in the case saying they did not claim Taylor's letter would be sufficient.
David Orel, a registered Democrat and a voter in the primary petitioned to be an amicus curiae, or someone who is not involved in a lawsuit but has an interest. Orel's motion condemned Taylor's withdrawal from the election saying that his reasons were not legally sufficient.
The court will hear the case at 9 a.m. This case will determine whether or not Taylor will appear on the ballot, which must be finalized by Thursday.

Editor's Note: Charlie, is that you?
I am a proud member of the "bandwagon" to make Paul Davis our next governor. I'm responding to last Wednesday's column, "Avoid the bandwagon during governor election" to set the record straight on November's upcoming election.
Brownback's actions justify Davis bandwagon
In 2012, Governor Brownback unveiled a massive state income tax cut, claiming it would be a "shot of adrenaline" to the Kansas economy. Two years later, Kansas job growth continues to lag behind
other midwestern states, and that's not the only problem. The nonpartisan Kansas Legislative Research Department estimates that Kansas will run out of money by mid-2016 if cash balances continues to dwindle like they have. Brownback's Council of Economic Advisors concluded that virtually every economic indicator shows Kansas is simply not keeping up with neighboring states. While we're cutting money available for each public school student,
Brownback has switched medical metaphors — he now compares tax cuts to surgery, telling the Wall Street Journal in June, "It takes a while to heal and get growing afterward." The evidence is clear that Brownback's experiment has yet to heal.
Kansans are ready for better leadership. The "bandwagon" of Davis supporters includes more than 100 current and former elected Republicans. It includes teachers tired of watching their class sizes grow while the amount of
money they receive to teach each new student decreases. It includes college students who pay the price when Kansas cuts funding for higher education.
Paul Davis has spent 12 years in the state legislature, and has tirelessly advocated for students and Kansans. Unlike Governor Brownback, he's willing to acknowledge nonpartisan warnings that the state's budget numbers just don't add up. He's proposed freezing tax rates at their current levels until revenues stabilize.
If you prefer a governor intent on eliminating the Kansas income tax at any cost to schools, public services and the people of Kansas, by all means, vote for Governor Brownback's specific plan to keep cutting.
If not, join the bandwagon.

Students should start to socialize on campus buses
Talking to strangers can often be nerve-wracking and intimidating. One never knows where the conversation may lead, and people tend to be afraid of not knowing the outcome. As children, we were taught to avoid talking to strangers, and many of us still live up to that rule today.
I was motivated after reading about an experiment done on the Chicago transit system by Nicholas Epley, a psychologist at the University of Chicago. He wanted to find out why the most social animals on the planet were ignoring each other every morning on the train. Similar to this, I wanted to know why people on buses rarely talked with one another. I chose to test out the waters and try this experiment, but after putting myself out there I realized it was actually pretty tough. Here's an example of a conversation I had:
By Rebeka Luttinger
@reebs11
A guy dressed in a polo button down, khaki shorts and Sperry's walks onto the bus and sits toward the back, while I am standing in the middle of the bus. He has one headphone in, but regardless I look over at him and say, "Hey, how's your morning going?" He looks right at me, puts his other headphone in, and proceeds to concentrate on his phone. He clearly heard me, but was not interested in making conversation. I got pretty annoyed, but I let him be. I am not going to force someone to talk to me if they don't want to. Hopefully he had more important stuff going on
and was just ignoring me because he was busy. You shouldn't ignore someone unless you are actually preoccupied with something.
At the next bus stop, I tried a different approach. One of my friends had gotten on the bus, and I started talking loudly with her about things happening on campus and our dinner plans. Since we were sitting toward the front of the bus, there were definitely others who could hear our conversation. As my friend and I talked, I noticed people tended to chime in to see what I was talking about or even just to comment on something we had said. For example, my friend suggested we go to Encore for dinner, and a bystander interrupted us to talk about how much she loves Encore and her favorite dish. It seemed easier for a stranger to reach out to me than it was for me to reach out to the stranger.
There are a couple of things I have learned from this experiment that would be helpful for any KU bus rider to know:
1-Most people are willing to talk, but are too afraid to start the conversation. This is a phenomenon called pluralistic ignorance, which means everyone is willing to talk but thinks everyone else is unwilling. There could be a bus full of
people who want to strike up a conversation, but they remain quiet anyway.
2-It is better to have a decent conversation with a complete stranger than to sit on your iPhone scrolling through your social media outlets the entire bus ride.
3-Everyone has a story. I know you probably seem stressed out with classes, and you probably think that sometimes your life is the biggest mess in the world, but I bet the person sitting right next to you on the bus is going through the exact same thing.
If you notice someone reading a book, ask them about it. If you notice they are working on homework (and you had/have the same class), talk to them about the class or offer to help. I am positive people will open up a lot more if you talk about something they can relate to. It is easy for others to open up when they're asked the right questions.
I dare all of you to try it. As you are sitting and reading this, look to the person on either side of you and ask how their day is going. Think of it as the Ice Bucket Challenge without the ice. Challenge your friends to do it. Put yourself out there and talk to a stranger. It will be interesting to see who actually steps out of their comfort zone. Who knows, maybe KU will be voted the friendliest campus in the United States? Good luck!

Video-streaming service offers better option over cable
Video-streaming services like Netflix, Hulu
Plus and Amazon Prime are aiding in the decline of cable subscriptions. More and more, people are canceling their cable television and signing up for video streaming services, according to the New York Times. In addition to being less expensive, these services also are more convenient and commercial-free.
A few months back my family decided to cancel our cable television to save a few extra bucks. In exchange, we subscribed to Netflix and Hulu Plus. We thought we would give it a trial run, and if we missed having cable, we would go back.
Not only are we saving money, but also now have exclusive access to shows like "Orange is the New Black" and "House of Cards," as well as "The Awesomes" (which are only available on Netflix and Hulu Plus). Shows like these are new, and in my opinion are some of the best programs in the industry. They offer more freedom for writers and actors because they're not under as much censorship compared to cable television series.
More people prefer video-streaming services for entertainment because they are commercial-free. Without the interruption

of constant, annoying commercials, viewers have the freedom to binge-watch their favorite shows for hours on end.
Time convenience is another factor that goes into favoring video streaming services over cable. Not everyone can catch the 8 p.m. episode of his or her favorite show, and owning DVRs can make monthly bills even more costly. Video streaming services allow customers to watch any television show at their own convenience. People lead busy lives, and video streaming outlets allow people to watch whatever they want, whenever and wherever they want.
So yes, having cable television is convenient to watch award shows,the daily news or live sports games. But in the long run, you will save time and money transitioning over to only video-streaming websites, and for me, it's been a much better experience.

Beer club brews discussion about drinks
DEREK SKILLETT
@dorickkillett
Kendall Goodden, a senior from Lawrence, brews his own beer. Three years ago, he turned his hobby into a club that brings beer drinkers together from across campus.
"I have a really old-school microbrew brewery," Goodden said. "Making beer is the most archaic thing ever. You just put a bunch of things in a pot and boil it, then throw it in a glass thing and let it ferment."
Goodden is responsible for the formation of the KU Beer Club. He said he started the club out of his love for beer. Goodden added that he wrote about brewing beer for an English class, which fueled his interest to start a club.
My friend down in Texas told me that a couple of his friends started a beer club and I thought it a genius idea," Goodden said.
He said he spoke to someone from the University involved with managing student organizations and they gave him approval to start the club.
Taylor Umbrell, a fifth-year senior from Kansas City, Kan., is the current co-president of the Beer Club. He said that he and Goodden have been friends since their freshman year. In the fall of 2012, Goodden approached him with the idea of starting the club.
According to Goodden,
there are currently 107 members in the KU Beer Club,
with an average of 20 to 30 members attending weekly meetings. All of the members are at least 21-years-old. Goodden said that new members need to have their drivers' licenses checked before entering meetings.
"We define some type of theme surrounding different types of beer such as German beers, IPAs or beer cocktails," Goodden said.
He said that everyone brings a different beer to each meeting, as well.
"We then talk about each of the different beers that we brought, where it's brewed or if there's something unique about it, then everybody gets to sample it," he said. "Then everyone decides what the beer-of-the-meeting is."
Adam Chase, a senior from Shawnee, joined the club about two months ago. He said he joined because he loves good craft beer and he gets to try a bunch of new brews that he has never had before.
"It's really cool to track and share the new breweries and beers you try," he said. "From a few members of the club, I've had a lot of new suggestions for beers to try and breweries in the area to check out."
Chase said he follows some of the members on the smartphone app Untapped, something he is said is like a craft brew Facebook.
Aside from trying new beers, the club also participates in events and tours
within the area. Last year, the club went to Oktoberfest at the Renaissance Festival. Goodden and Umbrell said that they are currently planning a tour of the Free State Brewery in Lawrence. The club also hopes to attend the Kansas City Beer Festival on Sept. 27, with the idea of traveling abroad to Germany or Belgium on the back burner.
Goodden said that the club is almost entirely self-funded. He said that he doubts that the University would give the club money.
"We couldn't spend it on anything alcoholic, including sample cups that we need at meetings," he said. "I doubt that they would fund tours, because you have to be 21 to go on tours and that limit could be considered excluding students."
Umbrell said that from the moment Goodden approached him with the club that he thought it sounded like a cool idea and that he enjoys drinking beer and thinks that most college students do as well.
"I thought it would be cool to get a club together to not only drink beer," Umbrella said, "but also learn about the history of beer, understand different ingredients and explore the craft side of things, rather than mainstream perspectives."
The meetings are held every Friday at 6 p.m. at club members' houses.

Club celebrates Japanes anime
DELANEY REYBURN
@DelaneyReyburn
Anime, a creative art style of Japanese film and television animation, has made a name for itself here at the University with the Anime Club.
"Anime is a diverse art form that is commonly mistaken as a genre itself," said Jason Gevargizian, a second-year graduate student from Leawood and president of the club. "It includes all of the genres found in Western cinema, and as many would argue, even more."
Gevargizian said anime targets a large audience of both children and adults, though he said relatively shallow works that target younger audiences, such as "Pokémon" and "Dragon Ball Z," often give anime a bad reputation when it has much more to offer.
"There is a wealth of emotionally and intellectually engaging animes that target older audiences, just as you have with the Western cinema," he said.
Gevargizian said he was first introduced to anime films at a young age. He said his cousins had him watch Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" and he fell in love with the film.
"Soon after that I set out to watch his other movies," he said. "I just had to see them all. From the Disney-esque family classics of Hayao Miyazaki to the dark psychological works of Satoshi Kon, anime has it all."
Gevargizian said his love for Miyazaki's movies sparked his interest in the KU Anime Club, his first introduction to anime outside of Miyazaki's work.
The club interacts through various events during the year. Its kickoff event, a movie night, had more than 140 people attend and over 30 people attended a recent sushi night that included an instructional workshop on how to make sushi. Upcoming events include a showing
of "Wolf Children" and Mafia Night, a classic party game where attendees dress up in their best costumes.
"We focus on the interactive side of anime, the convention culture, along with the peripheral interests such as gaming, video gaming, writing, cosplay and Japanese culture," he said.
Josh Lin, a sophomore from Lenexa, said there is a rapidly growing social culture associated with anime that has particularly increased in the past few years.
The Anime Club has a positive relationship with nearby conventions, allowing the members to take an annual trip to the convention Naka-Kon, which was started by the KU Anime Club in 2005. Naka-Kon is an Overland Park-based anime convention where people gather to celebrate Japanese animation and the influence anime has had in the Midwest and around the globe.
The club is involved with two other conventions as well, Motaku, Kansas City's premier anime club, and Ahn!Con, a convention for anime artists to present their work. The Anime Club also participates in an annual fundraiser, Lawrence vs. Zombies, in which members take part in two nights of zombie survival games where they switch off between the roles of the zombie and the human.
"The Anime Club's attendance and member participation is higher than it has ever been, and we've been around for about 10 years," Gevargizian said.
Lin said the Anime Club has a very welcoming environment.
"I joined the Anime Club because it's a place where I don't have to study or do any work, I can just relax and enjoy the art of anime," he said. The Anime Club meets Thursdays from 6:30-10 p.m. in Smith 100.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
PITTSBURGH — Stitch together the traditions of India with the comfort of Pittsburgh living and the chicness of New York City, and you've got the style of fashion designer Sheena Trivedi.
Since 2012. when she launched her first collection, the 30-year-old Pittsburgh native has been making a name for herself in the New York and international fashion scenes with women- and menswear that combine classic and contemporary design elements.
"I wanted to create garments and a line that isn't a hassle to wear," she says. "What makes me the happiest is (seeing) someone walking down the street wearing something I created. That's the most amazing feeling."
Her clothes were paraded down the runway during New York Fashion Week, which concluded last week. Pieces that were featured were from her spring/summer 2015 collection.
She credits her family for fueling her interest in fashion at a young age. She attended events at India Fashion Week during her family's trips there, and her mom is an accessories designer.
"It's always been part of my life." she says.
After attending boarding school in Switzerland as a teen, she returned home to study international business, marketing and sales with a minor in Spanish at the University of Pittsburgh, followed by taking part in an entrepreneurship program at the university's Katz Graduate

In 2009 she moved to New York City. To get her foot in the city's competitive fashion world she participated in workshops at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons at The New School. She put her new knowledge of the industry to work as a buyer at Saks Fifth Avenue.

about everything," she says. Starting a fashion line also has presented its share of on-the-job learning.
"Everyday I face challenges. It's the fashion industry. It's one of the most cut-throat industries," she says. "There's the creative sense and there's also the business side. You can make pretty things, but if it doesn't sell and you can't deliver there's no point."
She strives to differentiate her style from what else is on the market by keeping her aesthetic an amalgamation of her background. Her clothes are made in a factory in New Delhi, but she designs them in New York. Many pieces mix fabrics, and they can range from jersey to chiffon. More elaborate styles are embroidered by hand.

"It almost struck me like a lightning bolt," she says about falling in love. "If you look at the collection there are a lot of references to lightning bolts and weather ... At the end of a rainy day there's always something good that comes out of it."
So far good things have come her way. Her clothes are
carried at boutiques across the country, including two international accounts. Her dream is to open boutiques someday in the places she loves: New York, Paris, India and, of course, her hometown.
"You can take the girl out of Pittsburgh,but you can't take Pittsburgh out of the girl," she says.
Police: Protocol followed in detention of actress
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Police said Monday they followed proper protocol when they demanded identification from an actress and her boyfriend while investigating a 911 call alleging lewd conduct in a parked car.
Actress Daniele Watts, who appeared in "Django Unchained," says she was unjustly handcuffed and detained Thursday after refusing to provide identification and walking away from officers responding to a report of lewd conduct in a car along Ventura Boulevard.
Watts said in an interview Monday that she and her boyfriend, Brian Lucas, were kissing in the car and fully clothed, with nothing improper on go.
She and Lucas wrote about the incident on Facebook and posted photos of a crying Watts in handcuffs. Lucas said he suspects that onlookers assumed Watts to be
a prostitute and him a client because she is black and he is white.
Los Angeles police Lt. Andrew Neiman said citizens are required to identify themselves if requested to do so by an officer who has reasonable suspicion to believe an offense may have been committed.
In this case, he said, reasonable suspicion was created by the 911 call, and Watts and Lucas fit the description and location described by the caller.
Celebrity website TMZ posted audio of the exchange between Watts and police. Neiman and Bill McCoy, a spokesman for the couple, say the audio is authentic, though its origin is unknown.
On the recording, a police sergeant is heard telling Watts, "Somebody called, which gives me the right to be here, so it gives me the right to identify you by law."
Watts can be heard responding in frustration. She
Neiman said it is unlikely that a recording of the 911 call will be made public. The results of the LAPD's internal investigation of the matter, which could take several months, are also unlikely to be released, he said.
Watts said the officer's demeanor was an emotional trigger for her.

DENVER — The Denver Broncos have their issues on third down. Goal-line stands are another matter altogether.
For the second straight week, Denver's remodeled defense mustered a pair of goal line stands to fend off an opponent in a tight game.
Terrance Knighton deflected Alex Smith's fourth-and-goal pass to Dwayne Bowe from the 2 with 15 seconds left Sunday, preserving Denver's 24-17 win over the injury-riddled Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs (0-2) also came up empty on a 19-play drive to start the second half that ate up 10 minutes and ended when Cairo Santos, who beat out veteran Ryan Succop in camp, was wide right on a 37- yard field-goal try.
The Chiefs converted 11 of 16 third downs and controlled the clock in the second half, keeping Peyton Manning on the sideline for all but 9:46.
As coach John Fox told his team afterward: "Never apologize for getting wins in this league, men."
"It's part of football," said Manning, who was 21 of 26 for 242 yards and three TDs with no interceptions. "I've been in games like that where you get excited on third-and-long, start warming up, ready to get out there. The defense out there, they were maybe bending a little, but not breaking."
The Broncos aren't pretty but they're perfect heading into next week's showdown in Seattle, where they'll face a Seahawks team that handed them a Super Bowl shellacking and then talked trash about them in the offseason.
"I'm so ready for this week," cornerback Chris Harris, Jr. said. "I'm going to make sure everybody's on point and make sure that we don't kill ourselves and beat ourselves. Because if we're going to beat the Seattle Seahawks, we can't go down there with these mental mistakes and dumb penalties that we've been having."
Whenever things got tough during offseason training for the Broncos, players took to hollering, "35!" — their margin of defeat in that nightmare at the Meadowlands eight months ago.
Aqib Talib's interception return for a TD earlier in the drive was negated when Quanterus Smith jumped offside. And Nate Irving's fumble recovery following DeMarcus Ware's sack and strip was changed to an incomplete pass after a review.
Twice before Knighton's game-saver, the Broncos thought they'd turned back the Chiefs on their final drive.
Other takeaways from Denver's 12th win in its last 13 games against AFC West opponents:
for good reason: he was tight end in high school.
"I have great ball instincts being an ex-wide receiver," Knighton said after deflecting Kansas City's last gasp by reaching up and deflecting Smith's pass with his right arm.
So, what would it take for Manning to have Knighton line up with him as a not-so-secret offensive weapon, like J.J. Watt did in Oakland on Sunday?
"Might have to send two guys out of the game to put Terrance in there," Manning deadpanned. "Believe it or not, I have thrown some passes to him in practice and he does have good hands. I will vouch for that. High school receiver, he says."
VICKERSON'S UNHAPPY HOMECOMING
Chiefs defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson had just one tackle in his return to Denver, dumping Monte Ball for a 2-yard loss in the first quarter.
"It was a little bit different. Just my familiarity with these guys helped me out a lot," Vickerson said. "But other than that, the game is the game. Football don't change, players do."
The ninth-year veteran was the final cut in Denver this season, beaten out by a younger, cheaper and healthier Mitch Unrein.
Vickerson signed a one-year deal with Kansas City last week after defensive tackle Mike De-Vito got hurt.
"They made a business decision, I made a business decision." Vickerson said. "I get another shot at them. We're going to do a split. They got us this one, but we're going to get them next time."
INJURY EPIDEMIC
The rematch is Nov. 30 at Arrowhead.
After losing three starters to season-ending injuries in their opener, the Chiefs lost two key starters to ankle injuries.
They had hoped to get All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles more carries after he ran just seven times in the opener, but Charles left with an ankle injury in the first half, as did safety Eric Berry.
Charles had just two carries for 4 yards and one catch for 8. Backup Knile Davis ran 22 times for 79 yards and two touchdowns, but the Chiefs sorely missed Charles on their two drives that stalled after getting inside Denver's 5-yard line.
"Everything is magnified down there," Smith said. "It hurts to have him out."
Notes: While Bowe returned from his one-game suspension and caught three passes for 40 yards, the Broncos were without WR Wes Welker again. His four-game suspension could be rescinded this week if the NFL signs off on the new drug policy that the NFLPA rubber-stamped on Friday.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Will Montell Cozart be the starting quarterback for the entire season?
By GJ Melia
@gjmelia
"YES"
After a 41-3 beating by Duke on Saturday, and a lackluster performance the week before against Southeast Missouri State (SEMO), there have been more questions than answers for Kansas football in 2014.
One question that has arisen is the play of sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart. Before the season, Cozart was the undoubted starter. Yet, two games into the season, Cozart sits in an uncertain spot. In Durham on Saturday, Cozart went 11-27 for 89 yards and two interceptions. He finished with a 14.8 quarterback rating.
Will Cozart stay the starter for the entirety of the 2014 season? I say yes, but I say that lightly. The backup is senior Michael Cummings. Cummings saw action in the final eight games of the 2012 season, and would be the most viable option to replace Cozart. Then there is third-string sophomore T.J. Millward, who sat out last year after transferring from UCLA.
Cozart will keep his job because he is by far the best athlete out of the three. It will take a lot of good play by Cummings or Millweard to derail that. Likewise, it will take a great deal of poor play by Cozart for him to lose his starting role.
Being the most balanced quarterback, Cozart is the most capable of the three. Cummings has come on for a few plays in the first two games and run the ball,
but has only attempted two passes. Millweard is a more traditional, drop back quarterback.
Cozart showcased his ability to scramble in 2013. During the offseason, coach Charlie Weis stressed that Cozart must be able to throw from the pocket consistently. Against SEMO he showed he was suited to do so, although hesitantly, throwing for 196 yards and three touchdowns. Cozart provides the most hope for the team, and that's why he will keep the starting spot. He shows flashes of brilliance, with the only problem being that he is young and inconsistent. But he is the best option for the Jayhawks, and will continue to be throughout the year.

"NO"
Coach Charlie Weis was commended for clearing up any quarterback controversy the Jayhawks may have had coming into the season by declaring sophomore Montell Cozart the starting quarterback in the summer. Now, just two games into the season, many Jayhawk fans are left questioning whether Weis decision to start Cozart was apprehensive.
Cozart couldn't seem to hit the broadside of a barn in Kansas" 41-3 loss to Duke
on Saturday, and he's fallen completely flat since hitting his marks in the first quarter against Southeast Missouri State in Kansas' first game.
VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT KANSAN.COM
After starting 6-of-8 and throwing two touchdowns in the first quarter against SEMO, Cozart has gone 17-of-43 (39.5 percent) with a touchdown and two interceptions since, including 11-27 for 89 yards against Duke — a measly 3.3 vards per attempt.
Cozart overthrew and underthrew his receivers, left plenty of passes up for grabs (two of which were intercepted), and he had no sense of pocket presence, attempting to escape pressure that wasn't there and constantly looking overly panicky in the pocket.
+
To put it simply: the sophomore was completely unprepared to hang with a team of Duke's caliber. If the Blue Devils' defense — which the Kansan graded only two of five stars in its preview of Duke —
caused Cozart an abundance of trouble, Weis and company have a serious problem on their hands when they get to their Big 12 schedule in two weeks.
Because he's only a sophomore, I don't expect the Jayhawks to move away from the youngster soon. It could take multiple Big 12 failures (barring a miraculous Big 12 win) for Cozart to be ejected from the driver's seat.
But when fans are clamoring for the clipboard holder after Cozart's future deficiencies, they should know what they're getting in Michael Cummings. The 5-foot-10 junior started multiple games in 2012 and had a 3:4 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Though Cummings will get the next shot, he brings the same athleticism to the table as Cozart, but lacks the passing prowess Kansas should be looking for.

ATLANTA — Rory McIroy found his ball submerged in deep rough, next to a fence that separates the course from the driving range at East Lake. He jumped up and down, trying to see over a holly bush that obscured his view of the ninth green.
McIlroy fades in season, Horschel wins
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Having won the last two major championships and poised for a big-money triumph at the Tour Championship, McIlroy faded from contention with a brutal six-hole stretch Sunday, leaving him three shots behind winner Billy Horschel in the finale of the FedEx Cup playoff.
It summed up a frustrating finish to the PGA Tour season.
Horschel celebrated the most prestigious victory of his career by doing the "Gator Chomp," while McLroy was looking forward to a much-needed break before the Ryder Cup.
"I am tired," McIlroy said. "Not physically. I've been in the gym every day this week and that's fine, but mentally I'm a little fatigued."
This wasn't a familiar position for the world's best golfer.
In hindsight, he should've taken a week off in the middle of the playoff.
The disappointment at East Lake did nothing to take away
from McIlroy's stellar year. He won both the British Open and the PGA Championship, sandwiched around his first World Golf Championship title at Firestone. He reclaimed the world's No.1 ranking and, with Tiger Woods' future up in the air, became the undisputed face of the game.
McIlroy's not done, either.
“It’s still been a great season for me, and there’s still a little bit of golf left,” McLloyrd say. “I’ll get back at it next weekend and get ready for the Ryder Cup.”
RORY MCILROY
Professional golfer
the Ryder Cup begins in less than two weeks at Gleneagles. He's the star of the European team.
"I've been in the gym every day this week and that's fine, but mentally I'm a little fatigued."
He started the final round tied for the lead with Horschel, who went ahead for good with an 18-foot putt for his second straight birdie at the 531-yard fifth hole, the longest par-4 on the course.
A wild drive at the 601-yard ninth forced McIlroy to hit a provisional, but his ball was found alongside the driving range. Hemmed in by the trees and those holly bushes, there wasn't much he could do except rely on a swing and a prayer. The ball caught a limb and dropped behind a camera truck, and McIlroy wound up making bogey on a hole where he hoped to make up some ground.
McIlroy's troubles began at the next hole with an ugly swing off the tee, his right
hand flying off the club as he watched his ball splash in the water left of the green. After hitting again from the drop zone, he missed a 10-foot putt and walked away from the par-3 hole with a double-boogey on his card.
Going to the back side, McIlroy was four shots behind Horschel and all but done. Two more bogeys at 10 and 11 finished him off, though he did rally for three straight birdies starting at the 15th to finish tied with Jim Furky in the runner-up spot.
"There was no other option, really, than just to take a chance," he said.
"At least finished the day respectably," McIlroy said.

TCU, West Virginia, Iowa State show Big 12's depth
TCU, West Virginia and Iowa State weren't expected to do much in the Big 12 this season. Last weekend's performances might change that perception
The Horned Frogs, Mountainers and Cyclones each beat a power conference team on Saturday — and West Virginia and Iowa State did it on the road. The teams picked 7th, 8th and 9th in the preseason poll had three of the Big 12's four marquee wins, showing that the league might be deeper than originally thought.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TCU (2-0) has struggled since joining the Big 12, winning just 6 of its first 18 league games. The Horned Frogs might change their fortunes if they play defense like they did against Minnesota on Saturday.
"I think this is going to be a really strong conference this year and really for a number of years because there's so many young players. And obviously we've competed well outside of conference," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said Monday.
Six Big 12 teams are off this week. The lone power five non-conference game is a Big 12-SEC tilt between No. 20 Kansas State and No. 5 Auburn on Thursday. No. 4 Oklahoma, which trounced Tennessee 34-10, plays at West Virginia while Kansas faces Central Michigan on Saturday.
TCU held the run-oriented Gophers to just 99 yards rushing on 39 tries and picked off Mitch Leidner three times in a 30-7 win. Quarterback Trevone Boykin continued his promising start, throwing for 258 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 92 yards on just 12 attempts.
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen's job status has been a major topic of discussion ever since the Mountaineers went 4-8 in 2013, but he may have the program going in the right direction again.
"I thought he handled himself well. I thought he stepped up in the pocket better than he ever has," TCU coach Gary Patterson said of Boykin.
After a surprisingly close loss to No. 3 Alabama and a 54-0 win over Towson, West Virginia beat Maryland 40-37.
Clint Trickett set career highs with 511 yards passing and four touchdowns as the Mountaineers racked up a staggering 694 yards against a team that beat them 37-0 a year ago.
"The leadership ability of him is just off the charts right now. He just understands what's going on. He's a smart kid that understands the game of football," Holgorsen said about Trickett, who is completing 75 percent of his passes.
Oklahoma's visit to Morgantown this weekend suddenly seems a bit more daunting than it did over the summer.
Iowa State looked as bad as
any high-major team in the country in a 20-point home loss to FCS champion North Dakota State in its opener. The Cyclones (1-2) have made enormous strides since then.
Iowa State led by as many as 15 points before falling to No. 20 Kansas State 32-28 in the only league game so far. The Cyclones continued their turnaround in Iowa City, rallying to beat the rival Hawkeyes 20-17 on Cole Netten's 42-yard field goal with two seconds left. Iowa State now has a ton of confidence and an extra week to prepare for Baylor's visit on Sept. 27.
"We've learned that we have tremendous upside with this team. There's a lot of growth. A lot of potential, and we're tapping into it," Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said.
It wasn't all good news. Kansas (1-1) go drubbed 41-3 at Duke. Texas Tech's 16-game non-conference home winning streak was erased in a 49-28 loss to Arkansas.
Texas (1-2) looked a lot better this weekend than it did in a blowout loss to BYU on Sept. 6, but still lost to 12th-ranked UCLA. 20-17.
But outside of the woeful Jayhawks, it looks as though any team in the Big 12 is capable of taking a league game from anyone else.
"I think that, top to bottom, this league is going to be very challenging for all of us," Gundy said.

The BCS got one thing right ed its rankings at week nine. By then, teams have proven — or not proven — themselves enough to justify their rankings.

game despite its 15-0 season record.
Just three weeks into the season, 16 different teams have, if only momentarily, held a Top-10 spot of the AP Top 25. Out of the teams that were ranked in the Top 10 during week one, six are still ranked that high. The other four teams have shifted up or down throughout the following weeks. South Carolina was ranked No.9 during week one. By week three, it had fallen to No.24, almost off the charts, because of a loss to Texas A&M in
week one.
Last season, two of the final Top 10 teams of the season weren't ranked at the beginning of the season. Missouri finished No.5 and the University of Central Florida finished at No.10. Neither team even received votes during the
first week of the 2014 season. Out of the Top 25 from week one to after the National Championship Game. only 15 teams were still ranked from the beginning of the season.
Even though the rankings are out there — and probably always will be — remember they're fluid, especially early in the season. A number by a team's name isn't definite. It's a number people put next to a team, gauged on basic inflated statistics.

Auburn tailbacks 1, 1A keep ground game strong
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The two tailbacks for No. 5 Auburn so far have complemented each other nicely and helped the Tigers' running game remain one of the nation's best despite losing Heisman Trophy finalist Tre Mason.
AUBURN, Ala. — Cameron Artis-Payne came into the season eager to prove he's got speed and Corey Grant aimed to show he has between-the-tackles power.
"I think everybody individually has their reasons why we run the ball so hard and why we say we have a chip on our shoulder," Grant said.
Whatever drives them, it's working. Auburn (2-0) enters Thursday night's visit to No. 20 Kansas State ranked fifth nationally in rushing offense. Artis-Payne stands eighth among individual runners in yards per game.
Coach Gus Malzahn still calls Artis-Payne and Grant Tailbacks 1 and 1A, though the former has gotten twice as
many carries.
Mason was a combination of speed and compact power and the kind of workhorse who took over in the Southeastern Conference championship game against Missouri. He and quarterback Nick Marshall were the key cogs for the first SEC offense to lead the nation in rushing.
This season, the speedster Grant has had success running between the tackles. Artis-Payne has flashed some big-play potential on the outside, saying after the San Jose State game that he "wanted to come out and show my speed because everybody says I'm a bruiser."
Malzahn said the 5-foot-11, 210-pound Artis-Payne and Mason, a third-round draft pick by the St. Louis Rams, have a similar style in that regard.
"I think there's probably more similarities than there are differences," the coach said. "Tre was such an exceptional between-the-tackles runner, and I think Cameron has some
of those same traits. Cameron also has gotten a little quicker and a little faster from this time last year. He probably lost anywhere from 5-10 pounds, and I really think that's helped him."
Both Artis-Payne and Grant rushed for 600-plus yards last season. Artis-Payne already has 289 yards and four touchdowns, trailing only Georgia's Todd Gurley in the SEC in yards per game.
Grant has topped 80 yards in each of the Tigers' first two games and is averaging 8.8 yards on 20 carries.
+
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Grant's mind-set, though, always goes back to the question he's faced most often: "Can I run between the tackles?"
"Going into every game this year, I'm trying to be a more physical back," he said. "As I'm running the ball, there have been some times where I could have got out of bounds but I'd rather lower my shoulder and try to break that tackle or get two or three more yards."

COMMENTARY
Kansas continues to fall. Oklahoma and Baylor still in lead | PAGE 7
COMMENTARY Third time's not the charm for Weis
Now in year three, Weis hasn't been able to groom a successful quarterback. Not even an average one.
He was the offensive coordinator for a New England Patriots team that won three Super Bowls. In the same role for the Kansas City Chiefs, he resurrected a blond offense and helped lead the team to the playoffs in his only year with the team.
But during his tenure at Kansas, Weis has proven he's incapable of leading an offense that is able to compete in the Big 12. Despite his track record of offensive success, Weis has not been able to recruit and develop players at the most important position on the field.
Kansas coach Charlie Weis is supposed to be an offensive mastermind. Maybe he is.
In 2012, senior quarterback Dayne Crist was replaced midway through the season. The next year, junior Jake Heaps couldn't finish the year. Both transfer quarterbacks, each came to Kansas with impressive credentials but could never get anything to click.
Weis' hot seat is getting hotter by the week, and if the quarterback play doesn't improve, it's not going to cool down anytime soon.
Behind Cozart, junior Michael Cummings lacks the accuracy needed for the position, while third-stringer T.J. Millweard hasn't played in a college football game. The future doesn't look bright.
The new spread offense also doesn't appear to be helping. Three weeks into the college football season, the Jayhawks rank last in the conference in points and passing yards, and rank eighth in total yards.
By Brian Hillix
@DoubleHillix
Edited by Ben Carroll
it's too early to deem Cozart a failure, but currently, fans have no basis for hope beyond Weis' confidence in him during fall camp. It's also important to note that Weis also had confidence in Crist and Heaps heading into their seasons.
Crist finished the year with the worst passing efficiency among 116 qualifying Division I-A quarterbacks. Heaps ranked 128 out of 130. Each quarterback had more interceptions than touchdowns.
During these two seasons, the Kansas offense ranked last in points (16.8 per game), total yards (327 per game) and passing yards (145 per game).
This year, he is counting on sophomore Montell Cozart to break the horrible streak of underperforming quarterbacks.
Cozart is ranked 114th in passing efficiency out of 124 quarterbacks this season.
Based off two games of evidence, it doesn't look promising. Against two mediocre defenses, Cozart has gone 23-for-51 with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Anyone who watched the Duke game saw someone who looked timid and overthrew wide receivers all a game long.

@BCarroll91
The Kansas soccer season is still young, but after the first eight games the Jayhawks are off to an 8-0 start—the best start in program history—and have already won more games than they did all of last year.
The Jayhawks have a brandnew 2,000-seat venue at RockChalk Park, nine new freshmen and the team introduced a new offense that has been nothing but spectacular in the first part of the season.
The success so far can be attributed to strong outings on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.
On the defensive side, the Jayhawks have been nearly perfect. Senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud is the catalyst to the defense that has only given up four goals to opposing teams and no more than one a game. Even though she missed one game due to a suspension, Stroud leads the Big 12 with a .893 save percentage.
that comes her way.
Redshirt sophomore defender Kaley Smith has seen every minute of every game and defends her player better than anyone, eliminating every opposing scoring opportunity
Kansas has recorded four shutouts and has yet to fall behind any team it has faced, which has seemed to jump-start the offense. In fact, the Jayhawks have played 732 minutes in the lead and only need seven more to beat the 2004 team's program record of 738 minutes of playing with the lead.
"We have a lot of fight," sophomore defender Morgan Williams said. "As a team, we have better mentality helping us to get goals that we couldn't last year, harder goals."
Junior midfielder Liana Salazar from Bogotá, Columbia, leads the offense. She has six goals and 13 points, which leads the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas has a +15 goal differential, the squad's highest mark after eight games. The Crimson and Blue have scored 19 goals so far, the highest total the team has seen to start a season in program history. The team seems to be spreading the field much better than previous years, as seven players have scored goals and nine have added at least one assist.
Junior forward Ashley Williams said the offensive balance is a crucial improvement from last year's team.
"It's a lot of help, we don't have so much pressure to worry about scoring because someone is going to get it done," Williams said. "Our freshmen came in really prepared to step up, and they have. It's really nice to have a collective group of girls scoring instead of just a couple."
The last time the Jayhawks began a season this well was back in 2004 by the eventual Big 12 champion and NCAA
tournament team. The team is also ranked No. 20 in the latest coaches' poll, its highest rank in the poll since 2009.
Coach Mark Francis said the team has played very well, but admitted there is always room for improvement.
"We've done well," Francis said. "We battled through and fought through. We have to be more consistent."
Francis added that the resilience of the team is a "core value" and its aggressiveness is going to get them up and
over those tough conference opponents like No. 7 Texas Tech, No. 15 Oklahoma and No. 22 West Virginia.
"This group, mentality-wise, they thrive on those kind of situations," Francis said. "We're going to win more games because of the fight and the hustle factor. Those things are the things that I'm the happiest about right now because I think if we can maintain those things it will take us a long way."

Charlie Weis discusses weekend loss
DAN HARMSEN
@UDK Dan
This Saturday, Kansas football will try to do what the Kansas basketball team does so well: rebound — only in a different sense of the word. Instead of the basketball team grabbing rebounds, the football program will try to regroup and respond following its 41-3 loss to Duke with a victory, as the 2-1 Central Michigan Chippewas come to Lawrence.
Kansas coach Charlie Weis watches from the sideline as his team plays against Southeast Missouri State on Sept. 6.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Coach Charlie Weis talked about both the good and bad takeaways from the Duke defeat during his weekly Big 12 teleconference.
"We ran the football for a couple hundred yards," Weis said. "We didn't throw it effectively and we turned it over twice. When you lose the turnover ratio you are going to lose most games unless your talent level is far superior to everyone else. Our margin of error is very small. We didn't play well in the fourth quarter last game and we got off to a
slow start, settled down for a few quarters and gave up big plays to wrap up the game."
The 41 points surrendered by the defense was not an entirely accurate portrayal of the unit's performance over the weekend, according to Weis.
"Defensively, after the first quarter, in the second and third quarters we settled in." Weis said. "Take the big plays as a teaching tool and know that your turnover ratio was -2. We have to limit our turnovers and watch the big play. The pass coverage ended up being pretty adequate."
Much needs to be improved on after the loss, but Weis says that playing Duke in the non-conference portion of the season may give Kansas a leg-up on its Big 12 foes because Duke has a playing style similar to what Kansas will see during the conference schedule.
"Offensively, Duke is very similar to a lot of the teams we play against," Weis said. "Three wide receivers out there that are all good that try
to get involved in the mix and they have downhill running. Foundationally, a lot of the things they do we see in the Big 12."
Even though times seem to be tough following a blow-out loss to a team Kansas thought it could compete with, the Jayhawks wasted little time getting back to work following the road trip to Durham, N.C.
"We started working on the plane on the way back," Weis said. "When you lose a game you had high hopes for, we didn't wait until the plane landed. Yesterday we treated it a little bit differently; normally we don't get going on the next opponent until Tuesday, but we got going on (Central Michigan) because psychologically if you let the guys leave sulking for the next 48 hours, then you really lost 48 hours."
Weis believes that heading into next week and in the weeks to come, the area that can be most improved is in the passing game, starting with sophomore quarterback
"Offensively, obviously the inefficiency in the passing game was our number one concern and that will be what we prioritize this week," Weis said. "It was not a good day at the office. Yesterday, I had one early meeting and that (Cozart) was who it was with."
Montell Cozart.
Weis said that is the nature of the game of football. The quarterback is put under a microscope following losses.
"When you win, the quarterback gets all the credit, and when you lose, the quarterback gets all the blame," Weis said. "("Cozart") and I are tied at the hip."
But Weis has faith that Cozart will rebound after his bumpy performance.
"I feel he'll bounce back," Weis said. "He's not one you can wait on. You have to address that one right away."

Strong Hall protest aims to keep current campus policies in the spotlight
PAIGE STINGLEY
@paigestinglev
Connor Bowman was one of two men sitting among a growing crowd of women on the lawn of Strong Hall on Tuesday afternoon. He held a sign that read, "Parking Violation = $$, RAPE = ...?" Women were there to protest sexual assault policies, and Bowman was right there alongside them to show his support.
"I think the gender gap speaks to a larger issue here," Bowman said. "Maybe it's a sign that there should be an effort to change that about our culture."
Bowman has noticed that many sexual assault awareness training sessions focus on steps women can take to avoid putting themselves in those situations. However, he noted, people don't often take into consideration the man's actions and how we should address them.
"Everyone always says that women shouldn't let themselves get drunk enough to put themselves in that situation, which is true," Bowman said. "But at the same
time, they should be able to feel safe no matter what."
Bowman and several other students voiced their opinions at the Sit Down to Stand Up protest Tuesday afternoon. Dozens of supporters sat on the lawn of Strong Hall holding signs that read, "Our bodies are not learning experiences for rapists" and "Only yes means yes," among several others.
Zoe Fincher, a sophomore from Lawrence, organized the protest. After she made the event on Facebook, Hobbes Entrikin, a member of September Siblings, messaged her and asked if September Siblings could join her cause.
Fincher wasn't shocked by the article published by the Huffington Post or by the scrutiny the University has been under in the past two weeks. She said she hopes this protest will combine with other similar protests across the country to create a national discussion. She said her main goal in organizing the protest was to spread the word and gain media attention.
"KU doesn't want the attention, but it's what we need if we are going to fix this," Fincher said.
Fincher specifically planned the protest a couple weeks after the article came out so people wouldn't forget it after a couple of days and move on.
"If we stop talking about it, then it will just get pushed back under the rug and nothing will get fixed."
ZOE FINCHER Sophomore from Lawrence
"If we stop talking about it, then it will just get pushed back under the rug and nothing will get fixed," Fincher said.
Both students and alumni were present at the protest. Among the crowd were CJ Brune and Christine Smith, two women who were part of February Sisters, a women's rights group on campus in the '70s. Brune and Smith were both part of a similar protest in February 1972 when they were fighting for affirmative action and a daycare at the University.
"It's been a problem for years," Brune said. "And the worst part was that they made the woman feel like the perpetrator, like it was her fault."
"When we were in college, they would essentially just tell girls just to 'relax and enjoy it', and apparently that's still their attitude," Smith said.
Neither of them are surprised by the problems.
The September Siblings gave a list of demands to the Institutional Opportunity and Access and the University they would like to see the administration adhere to. They requested the demands be met by spring 2015, but have yet to hear from administration.
Last week Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little formed a sexual assault task force that will review current policies and practices, and
provide recommendations on how they can be improved. Since this announcement, no recognizable changes have been made.
Emma Halling, former interim student body president, showed her support at the protest. The last contact with IOA or the University she had was almost two weeks ago. She said she is concerned the task force was created just to pacify the people so scrutiny will go away and no changes will be made.
"They're aware that the spotlight is on them," Halling said. "The fact that this is occurring after the task force was created shows that more
needs to be done."
Until those demands are met, students like Fincher and members of the September Siblings will continue to rally support and raise awareness on campus. By using hashtags like #AGreatPlaceToBeUnsafe and #dontexploreku, they hope to convince the University to change its policies.
"KU has a great opportunity to become a national leader from all of this," Bowman said. "The students recognize that there's a problem, and they should be mad. But the overall message is a positive one."

Study: Facebook accurately reveals personality
MCKENNA HARFORD

"I see myself as someone who..." began the survey that was handed out to 100 people, including 30 KU students, who participated in a study that examined personality and personality perception through Facebook profiles.
A study conducted by Jeffrey Hall, associate professor of communication studies, doctoral candidate Natalie Pennington and Allyn Lueders, who received her doctorate at the University, found that for the most part, Facebook profiles accurately portrayed the person's character to those who were perceiving them.
"The argument was that when you are composing your Facebook profile, it is indicative of your personality because you write your status updates, you select your friends, you put up the pictures, and all of those behaviors are very active," Hall said.
The study was done in three components.
First, 100 Facebook users, based on the demographics of Facebook users at the time, offered their profiles for analysis according to 55 profile cues, such as positive status updates and attractiveness of the profile picture. The users also took a personality survey that looked at five characteristics: openness, extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness and agreeableness.
"The traits that were most known by strangers were also the traits that had the most characteristics on the profile," Hall said. "Extraversion is the easiest trait to see and the hardest to see on a page is neuroticism."
In the second stage, 35 paid students at the University looked at the Facebook profiles and then answered the same survey about the person based on their profile.
In the third part of the study, these results were used to examine which personality traits are portrayed to others through social media and how accurate their perception is.
"There are all these things that are true about a person based on their page, and then we have everything they reported about themselves and everything the observers found," Pennington said. "When we have a match, then we can say with some degree of certainty that when a stranger looks at your page, that [that trait] is what they will see."
... it is indicative of your personality because you write your status updates, you select your friends, you put up the pictures, and all of those behaviors are very active."
However, this information could be distorted with recent changes to Facebook.
"Essentially, Facebook is picking the most important

“[My friends] tend to post a lot of things that reflect their personalities, but you can be very vague when it comes to social media,” Miller said.

events and then shows them to you, so that affects the perception process," Hall said. "Our study shows that the very important cues are no longer obvious."
SOCIAL ENGINEERING
"When people go online, we tend to make active choices about what we share and how we share it, so I'm managing your impression of me," Pennington said. "Even though I make those active choices, it doesn't hide my personality; it really highlights it, even if I don't realize it."

Sexual assault investigator describes IOA's process
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHartford
For Jennifer Brooks, an investigator for the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access, a sexual assault investigation begins with a report from a victim or witness of sexual assault.
She said a victim can choose to report the rape to the school through IOA over the phone, in an email or in person. Victims can also go to faculty, housing or campus police, but the reports are all investigated by IOA.
Anyone who thinks he or she was a witness or was informed of a violation of the Student Conduct Code, which outlines an unwelcome act or acts that create a hostile environment that is severe or pervasive, can also report it to IOA.
Once Brooks contacts the victim, she schedules an interview. During the interview, she asks what the complainant remembers from the incident and tries to get as many details as possible. For complainants
who were incapacitated or can't remember, Brooks asks sensory questions relating to what they heard or smelled.
"We have to get those specific answers if they don't come out and tell me what happened, and a lot of times they don't know or don't remember ... or they might have inconsistent statements because they've gone through trauma," Brooks said. "Everybody is looking for chronological events, when that's not always going to happen. We will ask down to every detail that we can if they can remember."
An interview checklist for investigators also includes a discussion of applicable policies, the right to confidentiality and anonymity, the opportunity to provide witnesses or evidence and the right to file a criminal complaint.
Brooks will also interview the respondent or accused student, and any witnesses. Both the respondent and the complainant can bring lawyers or advocates to the interviews, but they are not
required.
"Both parties can bring anyone to the interview process that they think is important to them," Jane McQueeny, executive director of IOA, said. "We are not victim advocates, we are neutral fact finders."
"When the recommendations of IOA and the victim are ignored, we are revictimizing them, disenfranchising them and marginalizing them."
ANGELA MURPHY
Title I X Roundtable
development coordinator
IOA typically has 60 days to complete its investigation. Notes taken from the interviews along with any other evidence collected during the investigation, such as a rape kit or video surveillance, are compiled in a report with recommendations from the investigator on whether there was a violation of the Student
Conduct Code, and what measures should be taken.
It is then up to student conduct officers in the Office of Student Affairs to decide if there was a violation of the Student Conduct Code and what sanctions, if any, should be levied against the respondent.
This second tier of investigation is part of the university-wide Discrimination Complaint Resolution Process that states that any IOA findings and recommendations must be reviewed by the appropriate administration, which is the Office of Student Affairs.
"It seems to be that the second step is where a lot of the fallout is happening because we don't have required punishment for things like sexual assault where there is a clear admission of guilt," said Angela Murphy, Title IX Roundtable development coordinator. "When the recommendations of IOA and the victim are ignored, we are revictimizing them, disenfranchising them and
marginalizing them."
Optional sanctions for a respondent include a warning, restitution, fine, disciplinary probation, campus or community service, suspension and expulsion.
The Title IX Roundtable is recommending the University hire a victim advocate, make sexual assault training mandatory and work with Lawrence Memorial Hospital to have an on-call sexual assault nurse examiner. Previous complaints made by the roundtable were not addressed by administration.
"As an institution we claim that we are so far ahead of federal mandates and other Big 12 universities, and you can claim that all day, all night, all week, but you can't say that and in the same breath tell me that you have let an admitted rapist walk free on my campus," Murphy said.

KU IT stresses importance of cyber security, passwords

KU IT works to keep students' staff's and faculty's private information from becoming accessible to potential hackers.
According to Rob Arnold, a KU IT security officer, there are many attempts to infiltrate the University's networks by hackers every year, especially during the back to school season, when there's a large increase in traffic.
While KU IT does not share its procedures with the public, Arnold said there's a procedure the University follows in situations when online information is at risk. That procedure is executed by trained staff who know what they are doing, Arnold said.

An overweight man rests on a bench in Jackson, Miss. A CDC study found that 54 percent of adults have abdominal obesity.
CDC study: Bellies are expanding fast
People whose fat has settled mostly around their waistlines instead of in their hips, thighs, buttocks or all over are known to run a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and other obesity-related ailments.
CHICAGO — The number of American men and women with big-bellied, apple-shaped figures — the most dangerous kind of obesity — has climbed at a startling rate over the past decade, according to a government study.
Fifty-four percent of U.S. adults have abdominal obesity, up from 46 percent in 1999-2000, researchers reported in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association. Abdominal obesity is defined as a waistline of more than 35 inches in women and more than 40 inches in men.
During the 12-year period studied, the average waist size
in the U.S. expanded to 38 inches for women, a gain of 2 inches. It grew to 40 inches for men, a 1-inch increase.
"The increase is a concern. There's no question about that," said Dr. William Dietz, an obesity expert formerly with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, now at George Washington University.
The expansion in waistlines came even as the overall level of obesity — as defined not by waist size but by body mass index, of BMI, a weight-to-height ratio — held fairly steady.
"What it suggests is that even though the obesity rate may be stable, fat distribution may be change, which would mean that we shouldn't be complacent about the plateau," said Dietz, who was not involved in the study.

Kansas Supreme Court has yet to make decision in Taylor, Kobach suit
ALLISON KITE
@Allie, Kite
---
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach listens to arguments before the Kansas Supreme Court on Tuesday in a petition by Democrat Chad Taylor to remove his name from the ballot after he withdrew from the U.S. Senate race. Kobach, a Republican, ruled that Taylor's name must remain on the ballot because he didn't comply with state election law.
Arguments in Tuesday's Kansas Supreme Court hearing regarding Chad Taylor's lawsuit against Kris Kobach revolved around interpretation of Kansas election law.
The way the Kansas Supreme Court interprets KSA 25-306b(b), which requires candidates to declare themselves incapable of service in order to withdraw, will determine whether or not Taylor will be removed from the ballot for the Nov. 4 race.
Taylor, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, petitioned the court to require that Kris Kobach remove his name from the ballot after Kobach refused to do so Sept. 4.
Taylor's attorney, Pedro Irigonegaray, argued that Taylor met the requirement by including the phrase, "pursuant to KSA 25-306b(b)," in his letter of withdrawal submitted Sept. 3. Irigonegaray said that the phrase was sufficient because the statute doesn't require any particular language. In a supplemental memorandum,
he said the letter "was more than sufficient to make known, signify, or show Petitioner's intention to withdraw based on his incapability of fulfilling the duties of office if elected."
The opposition disagreed Kobach's attorney Edward Greim fought back against the assertion that the phrase, "pursuant to," was sufficient as a declaration of incapability.
"Citing something is not the same as making a declaration," Greim said.
Both parties argued over the form in which the declaration had to come. While Irigonegaray said the statute didn't specify that the declaration had to be in writing, Greim argued that the declaration had to be in writing.
In addition, the question of whether or not the secretary of state should be able to use discretion in cases like Taylor's was also hotly debated.
While Irigonegaray said no, Greim said yes, citing a letter that was accepted by the secretary, which was included in the documents filed by Kobach and his attorney.
The letter, which was filed by Miranda Rickel to withdraw from the 5th district Kansas
House of Representatives race, was received and accepted by the secretary of state's office the same day as Taylor's, Sept. 3.
Although the letter did not explicitly say that Rickel would be unable to serve if elected, it described her concerns and said serving would be "nearly impossible," which Greim called tantamount to
declaring inability. Greim argued that cases like Rickel's required the secretary of state's discretion.
"He needs to have discretion when someone doesn't just use the language of the statute," Greim said.
Taylor's hearing fell just two days before candidates have to be finalized to mail absentee ballots, which puts the court,
who has yet to rule on the matter, on a tight deadline.
Ballots must be finalized by Sept. 18, and in the event that Taylor is removed from the ballot, the Democratic Party will have to nominate a new candidate by Friday, leaving would-be Taylor voters without their first choice.

Theater shooting victim's parents sue ammo seller
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The parents of a woman killed in the Colorado theater shootings filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing four online retailers of improperly selling ammunition, tear gas, a high-capacity magazine and body armor used in the attack.
The lawsuit alleges it was illegal and negligent to sell the gear to James Holmes, who is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 20, 2012, attack.
It says the companies had no safeguards to keep dangerous people from buying their goods.
"It was highly foreseeable to (the) defendants that their potential customers included persons with criminal intent, including persons such as James Holmes," the lawsuit says.
The suit was filed by Sandy and Lonnie Phillips of San Antonio, whose daughter, Jessica Ghawi, was among the dead.
"We're putting them on notice." Lonnie Phillips said at a news conference in Denver. "We're coming after you."
The lawsuit renews the gun control debate in the courts at a time when advocates of tighter restrictions have been relatively quiet in state and national politics, wary of motivating gun-rights voters to turn out in greater numbers.
After Colorado passed gun control laws in 2013, voters ousted two lawmakers who supported the measures. A third resigned to avoid a possible recall.
Ghawi, 24, was an aspiring sports journalist who had moved from Texas a year earlier. Less than two months before her death, she had survived a shooting at a Toronto mall that left two people dead and several wounded.
Named as defendants in the case are Lucky Gunner of Knoxville, Tenn., Bullet Proof Body Armor of Tempe, Ariz., BTP Arms of New Oxford, Penn., and the Sportsman's Guide of South St. Paul, Minn. None of the companies immediately returned telephone messages seeking comment.
Her parents are represented by attorneys for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and two Denver lawyers.
The lawsuit says Holmes bought at least 4,300 rounds of ammunition from Lucky Gunner's website, bulkammo.com, and 700 rounds of ammunition and a 100-round magazine from the Sportsman's Guide website.
The 100-round magazine was one factor that prompted Colorado in 2013 to ban the sale of magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. Investigators have said Holmes' 100-round magazine jammed during the attack, preventing even more bloodshed.
It says Holmes bought two tear gas grenades from BTP Arms and four pieces of body armor from bulletproofbodyarmorhq.com.
ic rifle and other equipment from other retailers that are not named as defendants.
Prosecutors said Holmes also bought two handguns, a shotgun, a semi-automat-
Dave Kopel, research director for the Independence Institute, a conservative-leaning Colorado think tank, said the suit will have a difficult time overcoming a federal law that protects the legal manufacture and sale of weapons and ammunition.
Previous lawsuits have attempted but failed to overturn the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, said Kopel, an attorney who represents 53 Colorado sheriffs trying to overturn Colorado's 2013 gun laws. They are appealing a federal judge's ruling against them.
Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. His trial is scheduled to begin with jury selection on Dec. 8.
Holmes' attorneys do not comment publicly because of a gag order issued by the judge in the criminal case against him.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Doctors were trying Tuesday to awaken a suburban Kansas City teenager who was put in a medically induced coma after a police officer critically injured him with a stun gun in an incident the FBI is investigating.
Bryce Masters, 17, of Independence, is being treated for a lack of oxygen to the brain that occurred when his heart stopped after he was shocked Sunday afternoon, his family members said Tuesday in a statement released through their attorney, Daniel Haus.
Teen critical from stun gun; FBI investigates case
Haus said the family contacted the FBI's Kansas City office, which is now looking into whether excessive force was used during the traffic stop. Masters' father is a Kansas City police officer, but FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said Tuesday that the case isn't being given special treatment because of that.
She said the FBI looks into all allegations of excessive force by a law enforcement officer that are brought
In a statement Monday asking the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the matter, the family said it was "because of significant inconsistencies between public statements made by the Independence Police Department and information made available to the family in the form of statements of eyewitnesses and video and audio footage of the occurrence."
Masters was pulled over because of a warrant attached to the license plate of the car he was driving, Independence police said. The vehicle did not belong to Masters, and there was no warrant out for him, police spokesman Tom Gentry said.
to its attention.
During the stop, Masters became uncooperative and physically resisted getting out of the car as Officer Tim Runnels had demanded, police said. At that time, the officer used the stun gun on the teen, they said.
The confrontation continued outside the car, with both Masters and Runnels falling to the ground. The teen then suffered a
"medical emergency" and needed resuscitation, which prompted a call for an ambulance, police said.
Masters' family on Tuesday said the probes from the stun gun struck him about 6 inches apart "in close proximity to his heart."
The teen was put in a medically induced coma, the family said, and efforts began Monday night to bring him out of it. The family said it is guardedly optimistic, though it's too early to know the long-term effect of his injuries.
In its statement, the family stressed that the teen was not being treated for head trauma related to a fall or being struck. Witnesses told police they saw the officer drop Masters on the concrete, causing him to hit his head.
Runnels has been placed on administrative leave while Independence police investigate.

I agree sexual assault prevention should be focused primarily on potential perpetrators, but it's foolish not to embrace defenses available to potential victims. I support the use of the coasters as a deterrent and security measure.
Rape-prevention products not a solution to sexual assault
KU Institutional Opportunity and Access' coasters are not the solution to rape. The market for "anti-rape" products is astonishing. These range from articles of clothing to special straws and cups, but the most recent frenzy is a nail polish that changes color when it comes into contact with a date-rape drug. Coasters distributed by KU IOA this week provide similar detection technology, but these should not be praised as solutions to end rape.
Rapists cause rape, and
sometimes they use drugs. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, alcohol is the most commonly used drug. The National Institute of Justice declares sexual assault facilitated by date-rape drugs "a rare phenomenon." citing several different studies with these rates ranging between 2 and 4 percent prevalence.
polish and coasters that detect date-rape drugs, we reward efforts that, while certainly well intentioned, do nothing to address the cause of rape — people who decide to rape.
But the heart of my concern lies not with these rates, because even one sexual assault facilitated by drugs is too many. When we praise nail

Monday's UDK coverage of these products noted that some people hope potential assailants will be less inclined to commit sexual assault, since they know they might get caught in their attempt to drug someone. There are more effective ways to deter potential rapists on campus. The administration should

rape belongs to the rapist. No victim should be asked why they were not utilizing a coaster or wearing nail polish. I am proud of my peers, of all genders and experiences, who are advocating relentlessly for better solutions, and I will not be appeased by KU handing out coasters.

Movie representations have changed the view on comics
In 2008, Marvel's "Iron Man" hit the big screen and the history of superheroes was changed forever. Everybody and their mother began to love superheroes. I was just 14 and when I saw the end credit scene with Nick Fury, a main character in the Avenger's series, I fan-girled hard. On the other side of the comic book universe we had DC with the reprise of the Batman series, which was an amazing box office success. It is also the only movie based on a comic book to be awarded with an Oscar (Heath Ledger won best supporting actor). Since then, Hollywood has made it cool to be interested in what used to be considered "nerdy."
I grew up loving superheroes and everything that went along with them. My older brother and I would always pretend to be Batman and Robin. I would read comics with my uncle and watch superhero movies with my dad.
By Tyler Yunk
@tyleryunk
As I grew older I learned more and more about each superhero — their origin, who their enemies were and even their alternate versions. If I knew as much about math or science as I do about superheroes, I would be the next Albert Einstein. I can't remember to finish a homework assignment or to do the dishes, but if you ask me what happened during "Flashpoint" or "Blackest Night," ("Flashpoint" was
a reset of the entire DC universe, and "Blackest Night" showed all your favorite heroes as zombies) I could talk for hours.
"Iron Man" brought out Marvel Studios marking the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, According to IMDB, Marvel studios, Sony, Fox and Warner Brothers have listed future dates for a plethora of superhero movies, with more than 25 movies to
With all of these movies being released, ideas that were once considered nerdy are now cool. People want to know more about these characters, and all of the knowledge I have gained about comic book heroes now comes in handy. I have had friends who have watched trailers and asked me, "Who is the Mandarin?" or "What's the deal with that purple guy?" That's my time to shine.
Hollywood makes our opinion on superheroes positive (while avoiding detracting from the thrill of comic books). But there are people who think superheroes are becoming mainstream. However, everyone should get the chance to enjoy these characters,
not just the old-school fans.
Comic books do an amazing job of combining art with literature. They take the analytical side of the brain and fuse it with the creative side, making something that is great to read and great to look at. Comic books have deep stories and character development that can be seen right on the page. Comic book series make wonderful movies because you can know exactly how they should look and have a general idea of the main storyline.
Superheroes have been a big part of my life for a long time and will continue to be. There are several Marvel and DC comics that are being, or have been, made into the big screen, such as The Avengers, The Hulk, Spider-Man, Captain America, the list goes on and on.
I read comic books every day to broaden my knowledge of its vast universe. I want to be able to know everything I can about these stories so I know what to expect when the movie comes out. There are so many comics that are available that still can be made into movies. Who knows? Next summer's Blockbuster could be your favorite character, so grab a comic and start reading.

Kansas should step up in meeting emission standards
Emma LeGault, editor-in-chief elegault@kansan.com
Madison Schultz. managing editor mschultz@kansan.com
Hannah Barling digital editor hbarling@kansan.com
A recent Kansas Health Institute article quoted the Kansas Department of Health and Environment as saying the new emission reduction standards for coal-fired power plants in Kansas are too stringent and temporally inflexible. After reading the article, I was mildly annoyed and then my annoyance grew to discontent. I found myself thinking, why? Why does Kansas always do and think exactly the opposite of what is good for our state?
Last June, the Environmental Protection Agency introduced the Clean Power Plan within President Obama's Climate Action Plan. If enacted on time by all states, carbon emissions would reduce 30 percent by 2030 through the Clean Power Plan (that is 30 percent from the base year 2005). According to the EPA, coal-fired power plants are the largest contributors to carbon emissions in the United States. An estimated $100 billion was spent nationwide in 2012 on weather and climate events, according to the EPA. This plan is set to provide billions of dollars in health and climate benefits to the U.S., not only cutting future costs to combat climate change, but also surge money into the alternative energy business an important development for Kansas.
Kansas has an opportunity to turn federal government mandates into economic growth. However, the KDHE, a respected government entity, is publicly criticizing a regulation that sets the stage for alternative energy dollars to flood our state. Let me break this down.
Kansas is one of the leading producers of wind energy in the nation. According to the American Wind Energy Association, Kansas ranks third for total percentage of power coming from wind energy. This is largely due to the fact that Kansas is one of 30 states with requirements

for alternative energy generation and we have superior terrain for wind business.In actuality, we have only tapped a fragment of our wind production potential. The AWEA calculates that we have enough wind energy potential to meet 90 times our current electricity needs.
Cecilia Cho, opinion editor ccho@kansan.com
Christina Carreira, advertising director ccareira@kansan.com
Let's couple all of that information with the fact that we are a red state, meaning any federal regulation that impedes business is seen as a detriment to the free market, and possibly a communist plot. The EPAs new Clean Power Plan was met with hostility across Kansas. We would rather continue to rely on dirty energy that will cost us our bank accounts, health and environment, than come out on the side of a federal mandate — a mandate that indirectly benefits a growing industry and economic driver in our state: wind energy.
So, when KDHE publicly claims that new EPA regulations are "tight," "aggressive" and they need more time to comply, we should all be up in arms. Instead of requesting more time to figure out how to reduce coal-fired power plant emissions, KDHE and energy businesses across Kansas should start pioneering efforts in emission deflation and pushing for even more wind energy. Stop sitting on your hands, and step up your game, Kansas.

Student pushes for campus autism club
Phillip McGruder was an infant when he was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. McGruder, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., said at that time, the public awareness of autism was much lower than it is today.
"My parents didn't really understand what it was," McGruder said.
Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disorder typically appearing in the first three years of a child's life. The disorder affects an individual's ability to interact with others. In his developmental years, the best way for McGruder's parents to communicate with him was through images, specifically Disney films, because they helped him grow up and stay positive.
As time went on, McGruder said his parents learned to see autism not as a disease, but as a way of learning differently. McGruder's parents worked with him every day to teach him social skills, such as
McGruder understands the struggles of the disorder on a personal level, and because of this, he is passionate about bringing Autism Speaks U to the KU community.
looking people in the eye and responding to people emotionally.
"My parents didn't really understand what it was."
Autism Speaks U is a program created to help college students in their awareness and advocacy for the disorder, according to the official website. The program, launched in 2008, is a deviation of Autism Speaks that is geared more toward the college student demographic.
PHILLIP MCGRUDER Junior from Kansas City, Kan.
This 'semester, McGruder hopes to localize Autism Speaks U by bringing the organization to the University and creating a club.
Right now, McGruder said his focus is to accumulate enough members to become an official campus group. McGruder said to do so, the club needs 25 to 35 active members. As of now, he is trying to create interest on campus.
This year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report that found cases of autism have increased dramatically in recent years. The number of cases in the United States has risen to one in every 68 births, almost double the 2004 rate of one in every 125 births.

McGruder said he can help people who have autistic children by explaining to them the ways his own parents dealt with it. He said his sister did this after she met a woman who was trying to buy materials for her autistic child.
"My sister told the woman about me and how I have autism, and how I'm highly functioning and in college," McGruder said. "When my sister told her that story and about what helped me become the person I am today,

ring how the restaurant chain is run
Olive Garden defends its endless breadstick policy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Olive Garden is defending its practice of giving customers as many breadsticks as they want, saying the policy conveys "Italian generosity."
Darden's 24-page response doesn't specifically address each of Starboard's criticisms, but states that the company is already implementing a variety of strategies to improve Olive Garden's performance. The company says it has introduced new menu items to underscore value, for instance, and is testing ordering technologies using table-top tablets.
The remark is part of a response by the chain's parent company, Darden Restaurants Inc., to a nearly 300-page criticism released by hedge fund Starboard Value last week. Starboard took Olive Garden and its management to task for a litany of issues, including its liberal distribution of breadsticks, its failure to salt the water used to boil its pasta and even the length of the asparagus it serves.
Starboard is lobbying to gain control of Darden's board of directors at the company's annual meeting Oct. 10. Darden, which is based in Orlando, Fla., has struggled to boost sales at Olive Garden with the growing popularity of chains such as Chipotle, where people feel they can get food similar in quality to a sit-down restaurant for less money. Under pressure to boost results, Darden recently sold off Red Lobster, which was doing even worse than Olive Garden. But Starboard and others took issue with the sale and wanted the company's breakup structured dif-
ferently.
As for its breadsticks, Starboard said last week that Olive Garden was being wasteful because servers weren't sticking to the policy of providing one breadstick per customer, plus an extra for the table. The investor said servers lacked "training and discipline" and were bringing out too many breadsticks at a time, which led to cold breadsticks. Starboard noted it wasn't calling for Olive Garden to stop giving away unlimited breadsticks, but simply exercise more control in how they're distributed.
In its response Monday, Darden said "Olive Garden's salad and breadsticks have been an icon of brand equity since 1982." The company didn't say whether it would change the way salad and breadsticks are brought out, however.
Rapper Common's father dies at 71
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Lonnie Lynn, known to hip-hop fans for his soulful spoken-word poems on rapper son Common's albums, has died.
Lynn died at age 71 on Friday. Common said in an interview Monday in Los Angeles. He gave no further details.
Lynn was a star high school basketball player in Chicago and played in the 1969-1970 season in the American Basketball Association. He struggled with drug addiction and with being a father to six children, topics he addressed in poignant, sometimes regretful poems that concluded many of Common's albums.
"He was truly a natural poet and master of words. His personality and soul shined through his work," Common, whose real name is Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr., said in the interview Monday.
"The way he said things made me look at life and the world in a new way, in a different way. They always sparked
a thought in my head. His words would always make me strive to achieve higher, to write better, to be more truthful with my words."
Common is also an actor, appearing in films including "Terminator: Salvation" and "LUV" and as a regular on the AMC series "Hell on Wheels." Lynn, known as "Pops" on Common's albums, recorded his last poem for the rapper's 2011 release, "The Dreamer/ The Believer."
"For those of us who come from less than enviable circumstances, dreams — good dreams, sweet dreams — dreams come true. Truthful dreams, truthful dreams become life," he intoned in the song, called "Pops Belief."
"Live the life you believe. The American dream, the black American dream, the universal dream. For the sake of the unwritten laws of humanity, I believe in God. I believe in my ancestors, I believe in my offsprings ... I believe in the truth, truth. See you next lifetime."

New Apple Watch loaded with impressive options, features

Apple CEO Tim Cook discusses the new Apple Watch on Sept. 9 in Cupertino, Calif.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CUPERTINO, Calif. — As computerized wristwatches go, the upcoming Apple Watch looks impressive.
I like that it will come in two sizes, so the watch won't feel giant on smaller hands, as some competing watches do.
I also like that Apple will offer a variety of straps and materials, so fitness buffs can get a strap that's stronger and sweat-proof, while those seeking a fashion accessory can opt for an 18-karat gold edition.
Beyond looks, it's great that the Apple Watch isn't simply adopting the smartphone way of doing things. The operating system, Watch OS, was designed specifically for the watch, and its interface relies heavily on the dial to the right, known as the digital crown. Competing watches tend to emphasize the voice and touch controls found on phones.
Of course, it's premature to conclude that you need an Apple Watch. I had only about 45 minutes with the Apple Watch and other new products announced Tuesday. The watch I was allowed to try on was running in a demonstration mode. It'll take more time with the watch — beyond a controlled environment — to make a solid conclusion.
What I'm seeing so far, however, points to another winner for Apple.
The home screen has all your apps, arranged in rows like a honeycomb. You use the dial to zoom in and choose one. The touch screen lets you slide the honeycomb around to see different portions of your app collection. I find this easier than swiping on a small screen to scroll through pages and pages of apps. With the Apple Watch, you can even rearrange apps so that your favorite ones are toward the middle.
App developers will be able to decide what types of notifications appear on the watch and let you take actions such as replying to messages. That's an improvement over existing smartwatches, which largely replicate the notifications sent to your phone. To be compelling, the watch shouldn't duplicate your phone. It should enhance it. Apple seems to get it.
As for using the dial to zoom in and out, Apple said it improves usability because you're not blocking maps and other content on the screen the way pinching in and out would. That makes sense, though I'll need more time with the watch to assess how well the dial works on its own.
With your home screen, for instance, you still need to slide apps around.
Another question mark is what kinds of apps will be available for it.
Apple announced a few useful ones, including the ability to unlock your Starwood hotel room with a tap of your watch. That's easier than pulling out your room key from your wallet. BMW also promises one to help you find your parked car in a crowded lot. If it works, that beats walking around in circles.
Apple does have a good track record in getting software developers to make good apps for its systems. Many apps come to iPhones and iPads first, and some have bonus features unavailable on Android. If that trend continues with the Apple Watch, I have no doubt customers will find more useful things to do with it than the smartwatches already out.
Apple Watch will require an iPhone 5 or later and will have a starting price tag of $349, higher than rival watches. Expect to pay even more for the 18-karat gold edition and other premium models. You'll also have to wait until early next year, as Apple won't have Apple Watch available in time for the holidays.
As for products and services that will be available sooner:
IPHONE 6 and IPHONE 6 PLUS
Apple managed to make its new phones thinner, with edges that are curved and fit nicely in the hands. Gone is the glass back, reducing the chances of
Apple's new 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus are both larger than the current 4-inch models. They neutralize a key advantage Android phones have had: size.
breakage. The back will now be made of aluminum and feel more like an iPad.
To improve one-handed use, both new models will have a feature called reachability. With two light taps of the home screen button, the icons, controls and content on the top half of the screen snap to the bottom, so you can reach them with the same hand. Once you make your selection, everything snaps back to the top.
The iPhone 6 Plus also has new horizontal layouts to take advantage of the larger size.
Of course, apps have long worked either horizontally and vertically. On the Plus, horizontal viewing extends to the home screen, and apps will be able to arrange content in two columns.
When texting, for instance, contacts appear on the left and messages appear on the right. On smaller phones, including the regular iPhone 6, you get one or the other, not both side by side.
It's a small touch, but it shows that larger doesn't necessarily mean making everything bigger. Windows phones also make use of larger screens by squeezing in more content, but with Android phones, text and images just get blown up.
MOBILE PAYMENTS
Few people use their phones to pay for goods and services at retail stores. That's because it's not difficult to pull out a plastic credit card, however insecure that technology might be. Apple is trying to change that with Apple Pay, which will come to the new iPhones in October and the upcoming Apple Watch when it's out.
Apple improves over existing systems in a few ways:
Apple already has your credit card information from
iTunes, so setting Apple Pay up with your first credit card is easy. To add additional cards, you can either enter the details or snap a photo.
In my brief tests, the phone grabbed my credit card numbers correctly, though I sometimes had to enter my name and expiration date myself because of poor lighting conditions. But grabbing those numbers is a good start, as I'm prone to make typos with 16-digit numbers otherwise.
Apple uses the phone's fingerprint identification system to authorize purchases. Other wallet apps require passcodes, which can make mobile payments take longer than simply pulling out your credit card.
Apple stores card information on a secure chip on your device, not on its servers. And it's not even your real card number. Rather, Apple verifies your card information with your bank and then stores an alternative card number.
That way, if a merchant's system gets hacked, only the alternative number is compromised, and that number would require one-time security codes available only with the physical possession of your phone.
The system works with credit cards issued by a variety of banks, including all three of mine. A payment system called Softcard, formerly known as ISIS, doesn't support any of my three banks. Amazon's Fire phone has a wallet app, too, but it doesn't even do credit cards, which is surprising for a retailer. It works only with gift cards.
Apple Pay's usefulness will be limited until more merchants install the necessarily equipment, but many chains already do and more are coming.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
+
"We are disappointed and increasingly concerned by the recent incidents that have overshadowed this NFL season. We are not yet satisfied with the league's handling of [these] behaviors."
THE MORNING BREW
Eagles center Jason Kelce ESPN.com
FACT OF THE DAY
abcnews.com
Former FBI director Robert S. Mueller has been tasked with conducting an independent investigation into the NFL's pursuit and handing of evidence following the February fight between Rice and his now-wife, Janay.
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What is the standard suspension for violating the substance abuse policy in the NFL?
A: Four games.
NFL needs to uphold decisions in Rice, Peterson cases
The National Football League and its commissioner, Roger Goodell, need a win. In the past two weeks there have been two developments with off-field issues. Those two issues include Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson.
Rice was suspended earlier this year after being charged with domestic violence against his fiancée. There was widespread controversy whether Goodell's two-game suspension was enough, but after a TMZ video surfaced of Rice striking the woman in her face and knocking her unconscious, the criticism exploded. The Baltimore Ravens immediately terminated his contract after the video was released, and the NFL changed its decision to an indefinite suspension.
So Rice got what he deserved,
By Austin Wagoner @awagoner23
right? Unfortunately, that won't be the case. Rice will most likely appeal the
decision of the indefinite suspension because he was suspended two games for the incident. It was only after media backlash that the Ravens and the NFL were forced into action.
Rice should have had a more severe punishment in the first place, but it is unlikely his indefinite suspension will hold any water according to the league's collective bargaining agreement, which says the commissioner and a club will not both discipline a player for the same act or conduct.
Peterson has been a staple and a motivational figure since entering the league and coming back from
a significant knee injury He is now in the spotlight for punishing
his kids with switches. A switch is a living limb cut from a tree that resembles the punishing power of a horse whip. This may have been "OK" 20 years ago, but the media has been having a field day since he was indicted for child abuse. Immediate action from the NFL is imminent.
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton went on record with the Associated Press and called for Peterson's suspension. The governor said regardless of due process, Peterson is a public figure and his actions are an embarrassment to the Vikings organization and the state of Minnesota.
The bottom line is the NFL needs
to save face by tying up these situations in a timely and effective manner. Peterson needs to be suspended, at least until his situation gets sorted out at trial. The league also needs to go all in on upholding the Rice decision. If it gets overturned it could set a bad precedent for similar situations in the future.
Goodell has done an excellent job in transforming the league and, until now, has made good decisions. The Rice decision was bad judgment, and because of that people across the country are calling for his dismissal.
Goodell must make a strong statement with his decision and I think that decision should include seeing Peterson on the sideline for the entirety of the 2014-15 NFL season.

@MadMaloneyUDK
Kansas women's golf recorded its second consecutive top-three finish Tuesday when it placed third at the Minnesota Invitational at the Minikahda Club in Minneapolis. Kansas finished with an overall score of 905 (+41) at the tournament.
Kansas senior Gabriella Di-Marco paced Kansas with a sixth place individual finish,
which marks a career best. DiMarco shot a 74 (+4) Tuesday, with a three-round score of 221 (+5).
"I got a good feeling for my swing," DiMarco said. "Coach Katy [Nahm] has worked with me a lot over the last nine months going through a huge swing change, switching everything up to make it more consistent, so I didn't have big misses. I can help the team out more and give them some good
scores. I grew up playing on a bent grass course, so I was able to get up and down a lot and hit a lot of good putts. It felt like a home course advantage because I grew up on a course like this."
The Jayhawks were able to move up a spot from fourth place to third place on the last day of the Invitational. Kansas shot a tournament-best 300 (+12) Tuesday and was able to move past Georgia Regents
University-Augusta to take third place. Kansas finished five strokes behind Colorado and 26 strokes behind the winner, East Carolina.
Junior Yupaporn Kawinpakorn had the best Tuesday for Kansas, with a low score of 73 (+1) and tied with Pornvipa Sakdee for 28th overall with a score of 292 (+13).
"It was a great day," Kansas coach Erin O'Neil said. "We got off to a little of a rough start
early, but bounced back, hung in there, finished strong and we were able to move up to third, which is great. Everybody contributed each day and really hung in there. We kept our heads on straight and Gabby had a great tournament. Mook [Kawinpakorn] bounced back today, which is good, and Michelle [Woods] played steady for us. It was just across the board a good tournament. We are optimistic heading into the
rest of the fall season."
Senior Michelle Woods finished her last round with a 76 (+4) and tied for 37th and freshman Kallie Gonzales shot an 85 (+13) Tuesday and tied for 67th.
The Jayhawks will next play in Greenville, S.C., for the Lady Paladin Invitational on Sept. 21-23.

Trio of top basketball recruits considers Kansas
COMMENTARY
By Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
any young basketball player's life. For some, it's about the coaches; for some, it's about the campus; for others, it could just be about where their friends are going.
Picking a college to play for is one of the biggest decisions in
This year's top recruits, Ivan Rabb, Malik Newman and Diamond Stone, are looking to play college ball together. The trio roomed together for Team USA in 2013.
Last recruiting season, it was well-known that Jahill Okafor and Tyus Iones were going to play basketball for the same school in the fall. Much to every Kansas fan's dismay, the duo chose Duke University.
"We saw it at the USA games," Rabb said. "We're all really efficient, we love playing together. In USA, it's us three all the time, no matter what, we're always together. We're like best friends. We talk to each other every day on the phone."
With or without his potential future teammates, he plans to give both Kansas and Kentucky a visit.
"The two biggest ones are Kentucky and Kansas," Rabb said.
The three players are looking at three schools right now: Kansas, Kentucky and UConn.
"I'm really interested in that school, so I think I might end up at least taking a look at them if not taking an official [visit]," he said of Kansas.
Newman and Stone are more set on playing together than Rabb is. The two are looking at NC State and Miami as well.
Stone said he will make his announcement Nov. 12, while the other two have not yet made their dates public.
Newman talked to Bill Self, and Self explained what Kansas has to offer him.
Last season, Kansas struggled with cohesion on the court, so players with experience playing together may put the team in a better spot this season.
"He said that he will play me as a combo guard," Newman said. "Sometimes there will be two shooting guards on the floor or two point guards on the court at the same time. I'll never have to just play one position, and I like that."
Newman played both guard positions in high school, which fits well into Self's system.
Kansas has not yet signed any players for 2015, and if one of these three players signs, the odds dramatically increase of signing the other two.
Jones and Okafor committing to Duke was a big loss for Kansas, so hopefully Self can convince this trio to come to Lawrence next fall.

Six different quarterbacks have started in Kansas football season openers in the past six years. In the past two years Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps started but did not finish the season.
Sophomore Montell Cozart was supposed to change all that.
After a 24-point first quarter to kick off the 2014 season against Southeast Missouri State, it appeared as if the Jayhawks had found their man under center.

jayhawks, took a 41-3 beating in Durham against the Duke Blue Devils.
"It was a bad day at the office," coach Charlie Weis said.
In the low-scoring affair, Cozart completed just 11 of his 27 pass attempts and failed to reach 100 yards through the air. It was the seventh time in the Weis era that a Kansas quarterback had failed to crack the century mark in passing vards.
"Never thought that would happen, but he is still young in his development, and he's got a really big upside," said offensive coordinator John Reagan. "I'll tell you one thing: He's not pleased with his performance. He's looking forward to getting back out there."

...he is still young in his development, and he's got a really big upside."
"Montell had a full plate on Sunday," Weis said. "He met with Ron [quarterback coach], John [Reagan] and I on Sunday."
After their meeting Sunday, Weis said he believes Cozart will be more than ready for Central Michigan on Saturday.
"I'm not going to say, 'Hey Central Michigan, here is what we are doing,' but at the
end of the day on Sunday, he understood what the problems were and what we need to do to fix them," Weis said. "I expect Montell to play well this week."
But there still remains cause for concern after just two games. Last year the biggest critique of Cozart was his accuracy after he completed 37 percent of his pass attempts. After two games the Jayhawks rank last in pass offense and pass efficiency. Cozart's total quarterback rating ranks last in the conference.
Meanwhile, nipping at the struggling sophomore's heels is senior quarterback Michael Cummings, who has seen action in the first two games.
Cummings came in for Cozart after he took a blindside hit in the second half. Against SEMO, Cummins ran the ball twice
for 10 yards.
"Cummings will be ready to go if things don't go well," Weis said.
Cummings saw action in the final eight games of the 2012 season, and Weis said he expects him to continue playing a role for Kansas this season.
"Whoever gives us the best chance to win will play," Wets said. "Right now, we believe that's Montell."
It remains to be seen whether a personal meeting is exactly what Cozart needed or if he will continue to struggle as Kansas gears up for the gruesome Big 12 slate. One thing is certain: If Cozart has a few more outings like he did in Durham, not even a dozen meetings will keep him from being promoted to the bench by the end of the year.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Would Andrew Wiggins have been better off playing for Minnesota or Cleveland?
Remember when Wiggins was said to be the next LeBron
"MINNESOTA"
By Kyle Hicks
@udkylehicks
Be the next LeBron James? Well if he truly is, then playing alongside the King himself would only be in his best interest, right? Wrong.
LeBron didn't get to where he is today by playing alongside Michael Jordan. He had to face the challenge of a mediocre supporting cast and become the leader of his team. With all LeBron and Wiggins comparisons aside (they are two very different players), this is exactly what Wiggins needs and will get from Minnesota.
One may question how being on a weaker team can benefit a top-tier rookie like Wiggins, and it's simple: He will learn. Upon being thrown into a main role with the Timberwolves, he will be forced to take more shots and step up as a leader. This new position could lead to early struggles, but as a 19 year old it is just another step in his learning process.
Let's compare this to his season with the Jayhawks. Late in the year with Joel Embid out and the rest of the team underperforming against the West Virginia Mountaineers, Wiggins was forced to take more shots. He put up 41 points. Kansas lost the game, but you could see his confidence grow throughout the game.
This year in Minnesota, Wiggins will be put in a lot of situations similar to this. He may not come out on top every game, but he will improve.
You might be thinking: If a top-5 scorer and rebounder like Kevin Love can't take Minnesota to the playoffs, how is Wiggins going to? He is playing for a different team than Love's Timberwolves. Not only is Wiggins himself bringing a defensive aspect Love lacked, but the Timberwolves have also added a slimmer Anthony Bennett, veteran scorer Thaddeus Young and rookie Zach LaVine who can match Wiggins' athleticism. There is no doubt point guard Ricky Rubio will create plenty of open looks, and only time will tell if Shabazz Muhammad will become the player he was at UCLA.
If this team was to be summed up with one word, it would be "potential." They have a lot of pieces — it is just of matter of putting them in the right spot. In the meantime Wiggins will continue to grow as a leader and become a more confident shooter. As this roster matures and becomes more acquainted with one another, Minnesota will become a team to look out for in the West.
So why would a rookie want to pass up an opportunity to play with the league's best? To make a mark of his own and lead an injured wolf pack.
"CLEVELAND"
By Matt Corte
@Corte_UDK
Playing with the mist toys that are the Minnesota Timberwolves will most likely lead to Wiggins scoring more points and perhaps winning Rookie of the Year, but remember, this discussion is about which team would've been best for his overall career not just a single season.
First, think about ball distribution and how important that will be. As most of us saw last year, Wiggins could create his own shot at times, but he also reverted to a one dribble, step back fade away jumper right inside the 3-point arc. In other words, it's the worst shot you can take in basketball unless you're Michael Jordan.
My guess is whoever's writing in favor of the Timberwolves is gushing about point guard Ricky Rubio and how much he'll help Wiggins. Let me respond by saying that's a joke.
Last year, Rubio shot an
abysmal. 381 from the field -- his best ever — which still ranked him 25th among qualified point guards in the NBA. Even with a career average of 8.1 assists per game, Rubio's poor shooting will ultimately doom Wiggins.
Why? Well, just think about guarding Rubio. Are you more apt to guard a terrible shooter like him? Or leave him partially open so you can cheat a bit and help double team the uber athletic Wiggins when he gets the ball?
The answer would be to help double down on Wiggins, which will happen a lot this year if Rubio doesn't drastically improve his jumper.
On the other hand, Cleveland point guard Kyrie Irving had himself a decent season, finishing with a .430 shooting percentage that ranked him 18th among qualified point guards. The difference in shooting percentages between Irving and Rubio isn't drastic, but — and this is a huge but — Kyrie just played the
best basketball of his life this summer. At only 22 years old and still developing, Irving managed to capture MVP of the FIBA Basketball World Cup by averaging 12 points per game on more than 50 percent shooting from the field.
So, would an MVP on a nearly all NBA roster help distribute the ball better to Wiggins? Or someone who can't create space for other players because his shot resembles Shaq's from the free throw line? I'll let you answer this time.
What's sad is I almost left out the fact that Cleveland has a guy named LeBron James, who happens to play the same position as Wiggins, and who also happens to have won four regular season MVPs by age 30. I guess he could have been an "OK" mentor for Wiggins. Instead, that role will be filled by the likes of Thaddeus Young or, don't make me say this, Chase Budinger.
Alas, good luck, Andrew.

Said, Wagner return to Student Senate
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner presented a bill to create a social equity director position. The bill passed unanimously in Multicultural Affairs Committee and reached a two-thirds majority in Rights Committee. It will be addressed in full senate next Wednesday.
The position would add an additional executive staff member to the office. The director would be paid with leftover funds from unworked summer hours' funds. If passed, this year would be a trial run for the position and after this year, it would be paid out of the Student Senate block fund.
At the end of the meeting, members did not think the bill initially passed; however, when Said, Wagner and Chief of Staff Mitchell Cota reviewed the vote after senate, they discovered that during the vote, they had counted the abstention against the two-thirds majority. Twelve voted in favor, six voted against and one abstained. After removing the abstention, the vote passed by an exact two-thirds vote.
Said and Wagner both spoke favorably about the bill, which stems from one of the Grow KU platforms during their election campaigning. Said said they had researched other universities and found some had already filled the executive position.
Wagner said that part of this person's job would be to bring students from groups not currently involved in senate and inform them of ways they can be involved in the legislative process.
"I think senate from year to year is kind of homogenous... and every election cycle [students] hear a lot of talk about diversity and inclusion and it doesn't really happen," Wagner said. "So I think it's about time that the executive staff is committed to bringing students in, through the replacement process, through committees, anything we can do to make sure we're being very inclusive and representative of campus."
of this, to add staff member responsibilities that tackle these issues, should first be considered lined out responsibilities of existing staff members who might just have to be doing this already," Joyce said.
"I think that the intention
"If we were to add these responsibilities instead, make them at the forefront of those individual jobs and hold them accountable to that and they still can't do that? That's when we have to find a staff member, that's when we have to pay them a few thousand dollars over the course of an entire academic year," Joyce said.
Alek Joyce, a fifth-year senior from Lawrence and former chair of the Finance Committee, spoke unfavorably about the bill.
Said was excited that the bill had passed and was proud that the committees had passed it. She said that the fact that Multicultural Affairs passed the bill unanimously shows the need for this position.
Joyce is no longer a senator but is a Rights Committee member. He had concerns about how an individual in the position would be paid in future years and if the description already fell within other positions within the executive staff.
Committees took place after short speeches by Emma Halling, outgoing acting student body president, and Tyler Childress, outgoing acting student body vice president. Said, Wagner and their executive staff took over senate after winning the re-election last week.
...it's about time that the executive staff is committed to bringing students in..."
MIRANDA WAGNER Student body vice president
During his officer speech, Cota addressed progress on a social justice minor. He said that it was coming along quickly and if it continues to go through the University channels, it should reach the Kansas Board of Regents by December. If the Board votes it through, it will be available through the department of American Studies by next fall.
Full senate will take place next week.

New Engel Road construction completed
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
The two-and-a-half month project to replace the old Engel Road with a newer road ended earlier this week. The completion of this project means that the new Engel Road, the intersection of Irving and Engel roads and two new bus stops for Hashinger and Lewis halls are now open.
The road construction was part of the McCollum Hall replacement project, a plan to build two new dormitories on Daisy Hill and knock McCollum down.
"The completion of the newer Engel Road is a major milestone in the McCollim Hall replacement project," said Danny Kaiser, parking and transit assistant director.
Many buses were rerouted due to the construction, but Kaiser said with the new Engel
One slight change is the location of Hashinger Hall and Lewis Hall bus stops. Instead of being right next to the buildings, the stops have been relocated across the street from both dorms on the new Engel Road. Kaiser said this move was intentional.
Road in business, buses have been moving more quickly to transport students to their intended destinations.
"The bus stops on the new Engel Road were strategically located to provide access to the new and existing residence halls on Daisy Hill," Kaiser said. "You just might have to walk out a couple of hundred feet further than you used to."
Kaiser said he predicts construction on Daisy Hill will take around another year to complete.

CHANGES TO DAISY HILL BUS ROUTE
The new Engel Road passes west of the dorm construction zone on Daisy Hill. Buses to Daisy Hill will now take Irving Hill Road, stop at Ellsworth and McCollum Halls, continue on the new Engel Road and turn right at 15th Street to campus.

Eisenhower Memorial panel considers design
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON—A federal commission planning a memorial near the National Mall honoring the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower considered whether to move forward Wednesday with a famed architect's design after years of controversy surrounding the project.
Earlier this month, architect Frank Gehry's team presented a revised design for a proposed memorial park following objections from critics and Eisenhower's family who said the earlier design was too big and extravagant.
The Eisenhower Memorial Commission met Wednesday for the first time in more
than a year to consider Gehry's changes or whether to move the 15-year-old project in a different direction.
No votes were taken, however, because the commission lacked a quorum. Seven lawmakers did not attend the meeting on Capitol Hill, including Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts and Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran, who have championed the project in the past. Instead the panel will hold an electronic vote by Sept. 24 on how to proceed.
In the revised design, Gehry's Los Angeles-based team eliminated two large, metal tapestries on the sides of the memorial park, along with some large columns. One long, stainless steel tapestry would
remain as a backdrop, depicting the Kansas landscape of Ike's boyhood home. The park would also include statues of Eisenhower as president and World War II general and inscriptions from famous speeches.
"Our family is ready to help move this memorial to completion under conditions that can re-energize this effort."

"We think there is an opportunity for resolution as we go forward," Dan Feil, the commission's executive architect, told commissioners.
But in a letter to the commission this week, Eisenhower's family said the revised design still doesn't address their concerns. They said the project should pursue a simpler design without any tapestries or columns — or be completely redesigned.

As an alternative, the Eisenhower commission briefly discussed building only the "core of the Gehry design without any tapestries or columns," as suggested by the family and California Rep. Darrell Issa, who has weighed in on the project. In that case, Gehry would likely withdraw from the project if his trademark tapestries are eliminated.
With little discussion and most members absent, it was not clear how many commissioners still support Gehry's design.

Chancellor,provost to host panel on sexual assault
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little is hosting a panel to continue the sexual assault conversation and address concerns Thursday afternoon from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in The Commons in Spooner Hall.
The panel will consist of the chancellor; Provost Jeffrey Vitter; Tammara Durham, vice provost for student affairs; Nathan Thomas, vice provost for diversity and equity; Jane McQueeny, executive director for the office of Institutional Opportunity and Access; and Ralph Oliver, chief of police for the KU Public Safety Office.
Questions that were submitted to the chancellor and the provost before the panel will be answered, as well as questions submitted at the beginning of the event by audience members.
Gavin Young, assistant director of strategic communications, said that he is expecting a large audience at the panel.
"We certainly want as many people as can be there because this is such an important topic," Young said.

My basketball player sightings have happened much more frequently because of the new NCAA rules about food.
I thoroughly enjoyed 'Let's Talk About it' in the Tuesday UDK. It did a great job of focusing on changing the general male perspective of sexual violence, without either denouncing tools that victims can use to defend themselves or downplaying the role of alcohol in sexual assault.

Rape is rape, no matter the situation
Sexual assault is not a spectrum. There are not certain assaults that are considered heinous crimes deserving our ire, just as there are not some that we should brush under the rug. There are no varying degrees of horror to any given rape. Yes, every assault is different, but no, that does not make it a spectrum.
Rape is traumatic whether it is a person forcing you off a jogging path or if it is a friend who takes advantage of you when you're too intoxicated to push them off. If you have sex with someone who is too drunk to tell you to stop, you are on the exact same level as a person who held a knife to one's throat and raped him or her in an alley. There is no difference. One
is not more dangerous than the other; one is not more important than the other.
We can talk all we want about educating men and women on what consent is so it isn't "accidentally" violated, but that is not the problem. The problem is some people think rape is on a spectrum. People are still considered rapists, even if they
used alcohol instead of a knife to keep their victim from fighting back.

Choose to sell clothes online, not in stores
Summer is officially over, which means it is time to hang up your summer clothes and stock up on some fall sweaters and jeans. If you find clothes you want to get rid of, there are easy ways to make some room and quick cash for a new wardrobe.
Instead of taking your trash bag full of quality clothes to a consignment store, consider selling your clothes online. There are online companies such as Poshmark or
Twice, who take gently used items and sell them for you. Older sites such as eBay or Amazon can find a buyer for just about anything.
I started selling some of my summer clothes on websites like these and
By Madeline Umali
@madelineumali
have made some good money. Like many people, I used to think I wouldn't get back nearly as much money as I had spent on these items. However, with online outlets, I have received more money for my clothing than I did going to consignment stores. Companies like Twice only sell quality items, and because of this they are likely to pay more for your clothing.
Other online companies, like Poshmark, eBay and Amazon allow users to
control their own sales. You can add clothing pictures and descriptions to your account, and potential buyers can contact you, making the experience very personal.
Not only do these online sites give you back more money, but they are also much more convenient. Instead of driving to consignment shops to see the possibility of them buying your items, you can sell your clothing online from your couch and still have a higher
potential for buyers
Selling your clothing online is the fastest way to make an extra buck. Before getting rid of your old summer clothes at random consignment stores, check out your options online. They are a lot more convenient and can offer a better deal on your items.

Flower business becomes creative outlet

A beautiful array of air plants that sit in terrariums hang from the ceiling inside the restaurant Ingredient. Near the arrangement sits a stack of business cards for Stems Event Flowers.
In April 2014, 1995 University graduate and Lawrence native Jennifer Oldridge launched Stems. Her business combines her creative passions with her self-taught floral knowledge.
Oldridge creates fresh floral and plant arrangements, including bouquets, air plants and succulents for various occasions. Weddings and social events are among the projects she has taken on, as well as creating arrangements for Ingredient on Massachusetts Street.
Shumaker said she used Stems on Sept. 12 for an event called Casablanca for Douglas County Casa that was held at Liberty Hall on Massachusetts Street.
["The flowers and plants] are really unique," said Amy Shumaker, a close friend to Oldridge. "No one does what she does in a style that I've seen. She comes up with something original."
Oldridge orders flowers and plants based upon need in
Nick Wysong, Ingredient manager, knew Oldridge and found her card one day at the restaurant. He then had his wife call about bringing her work to Ingredient.
"We love her work," Wysong said. "She knows the space well. She comes in every once in a while to service the plants as well."

She receives supplies from local Lawrence farmers, or often drives to North Kansas City to choose flowers from wholesalers.

Theatre Lawrence kicks off season Friday

Theatre Lawrence opens its first musical of the season, "Little Shop of Horrors," on Friday.
According to the Theatre Lawrence website, the musical is an affectionate spoof of 1950s science fiction films and tells the story of Seymour, a floral assistant who discovers a plant that eats people. The musical tracks Seymour's troubles with three other main characters: Mr. Mushnick, who owns the flower shop where Seymour works, his lover Audrey, and Orin Scrivello, Audrey's boyfriend.
Audrey (Erin Fox) tells Seymour (Michael Dieker) about an exciting new business opportunity for the flower shop. Audrey II, the plant, sits in the background, the cause of the sudden boom in business.
"It isn't as serious as a lot of the shows you get out there because I mean, we are talking about a man-eating plant," said Kay Traver, a University alumna and marketing coordinator at the Theatre Lawrence.
ANNA WENNER/KANSAN
Aside from humor, the show also has a sincerity that keeps the audience attached to the characters.
"It's kind of how he deals with his fame and fortune, and the moral ambiguities of feeding people to a plant," Traver said.
Michael Dieker, the actor who plays Seymour, said in the midst of all the silliness and science fiction, the play still maintains a genuine sweetness.
Offstage, Dieker has dedicated himself to preparing for the performance by restricting his diet as a precaution to protect his voice. He said he is not smoking and is refraining from consuming any dairy products, caffeine or alcohol.
"It's tough but I think that anything worthwhile is worth sacrificing a little bit for" Dieker said. "And it's definitely worth a payoff of being able to sing on stage to the best of your abilities."
While the characters addressed the conflicts on
"There are over 150 'Little Shops of Horrors' in the nation being run next year, but there are a very limited number of plant puppets that are out there." Traver said.
stage, the show faced many challenges backstage due to technical complications like special effects and puppets.
Theatre Lawrence bought sets of plants from Kansas State University and modified them as needed for the performance.
James Diemer, technical director of the show and a PhD student in the theatre department at the University, said he is challenging himself in his debut show.
"This is a big and complicated show from a technical standpoint," Diemer said.
He said the crew has been
TURN TO PAGE 7A TO SEE A PHOTO GALLERY OF THE "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS" DRESS REHEARSAL
challenged to work around the set being on a turntable that takes 15 seconds to revolve. Diemer said they learned to manage the timing
for the lighting and actors accordingly.
Dieker said that the complicated technology used in the show affects him as a main character.
"It keeps you on your
toes for sure. You have to constantly focus so that all the stuff doesn't take you out of character and distract you," Dieker said.
Dieker said he thinks the show's technical aspects enhance the overall experience by making it more magical and fun.
With a family-friendly environment, cast and crew members said they are looking forward to the opening night on Friday. Rather than hosting a typical reception before the opening night, Theatre Lawrence is hosting a special opening night to celebrate the beginning of the season.
The night hopes to provide attendees with a special experience, complete with a red carpet, paparazzi taking pictures, valet golf carts and a short talk from the director of
the show, Terrance McKerrs.
"What's really neat about doing things at community level is that everyone involved is doing it for the love of performance and the love of theatre. There is a real kind of supportive family environment in it," Dieker said. "We are excited to show all the hard work we've done and the hope is that everybody comes and they just get completely swept up in the show and they have a great time."
The opening night reception will take place Friday at 6:30 p.m. prior to the opening night of the play. The musical will run through Oct. 5. Tickets for the shows are available on the Theatre Lawrence website.

Neeson stars in gritty crime tale
By Alex Lamb
@lambcannon
VISIT KANSAN.COM
"A Walk Among the Tombstones" feels decidedly old-school, and that's mostly a good thing. Liam Neeson plays another cool, tough guy with a special set of skills for tracking down bad men, but this time, it's as a private investigator in an engrossing mystery thriller.
off the force, goes to AA everyday and works as a private investigator. A drug trafficker (Dan Stevens from "Downton Abbey"), whose wife was kidnapped and killed, despite a paid ransom, contacts Scudder to track down and bring him the men responsible. The suspenseful recounting of what happened unsettles Scudder enough to take the job, and he quickly ties it to two similar murders.
As an NYPD officer, Matt Scudder (Neeson) shoots three bar robbers in the charged opening sequence, but eight years later he's

Thompson). As we get glimpses of them stalking their next victim, Scudder works to find them before they've killed again.
The film is appropriately moody throughout, right from the opening title sequence that glows with light and the closely framed beauty of a woman, until a startling reveal switches the imagery to something sublimely creepy. The TJ thread unfocuses the story at times, but ultimately adds to Scudder's characterization. The movie's best sequence incorporates a narration of the 12 steps over an electrifying confrontation with the killers in a dark graveyard.
Taking place in 1999, "A Walk Among the Tombstones" incorporates the Y2K scare, providing several moments of humor for us. However, writer/director Scott Frank shrewdly transposes Y2K concerns in the world of the film to an impending bad feeling thematically associated with the killers. He also shoots the daytime scenes with a cold bleakness and the nighttime scenes with grim shadows, so you never completely relax.
Frank's directorial style is less pronounced than in his excellent debut "The Lookout", but his longer takes, fewer cuts and occasional stylistic flourishes draw in viewers like movies of an older era.
even though the pacing runs kind of slow sometimes. This isn't an action thriller like "Jack Reacher" where the protagonist cleverly gains the upper hand at every turn, fights frequently and never loses. "A Walk Among the Tombstones" feels more realistic, as Scudder doesn't always get it right. He gets beat up, and events play out on a normal-sized scale, not a big one.
In turn, Neeson's performance reflects that. He's got a hardened New York accent and the charisma of a flawed, more relatable protagonist than an upright action hero. Harbour and Thompson make for great villains, unnerving in the menacing pleasure they take in their awful acts. Harbour especially stands out as the main voice of the pair, a threatening presence over the ransom phone calls who toys with those on the other end.
Neeson's enjoyable in nearly anything, but it's far more rewarding watching him pursue the bad guys in thrillers of substance than in overblown action blockbusters.

Project Not Asking For It created on campus
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
THE FACE OF THE BIRD
Ally Jones, a sophomore from Plano, Texas, and Kathryn Everett, a sophomore from Manhattan, created Project Not Asking For It at the University.
Two students have created a KU branch of Project Not Asking For It, a student-led organization that creates videos at universities that raise awareness about victim blaming. They released their video last week. The Kansan sat down for a Q&A with founders Ally Jones a sophomore from Plano, Texas, and Kathryn Everett, a sophomore from Manhattan.
MIRANDA DAVIS/KANSAN
Kansan: First off, what is the project?
UDK: Why were you inspired to do this at the University?
Kathryn Everett: Project Not Asking For It is an organization that a student started at Wesleyan University to spread awareness that no one is asking to be sexually assaulted, no matter what they're wearing, how they're dancing, the circumstances, it doesn't matter. A few other universities around the U.S. made videos, like the one at Wesleyan, and we decided to bring it to KU.
Ally Jones: The reason that the student started it at Wesleyan was because she kept hearing people make excuses for why they think people had been sexually assaulted. Saying stuff like, "Oh, well she was asking for it because her skirt was too short," or "He put himself in that position because he was dancing this way" and everyone says stuff like that without even noticing it. It's not as much as a group that's focused on changing policy, but a group that's focused on changing the community and the societal response to sexual assault.
KE and AI: One of her friends that goes to Columbia was in the video and we saw it on Facebook and thought, "Why not?"
UDK: When did you start planning this?
KE: Over the summer, around June and July.
AI: We emailed the girl who started this at Wesleyan and she was very helpful and supportive.
KE: She was excited that such a large university wanted to hop on.
AI: I think were one of the first large, sizeable universities. Because [the Wesleyan founder] is up in Connecticut, and a lot of the northeastern schools have done it, but they are smaller liberal arts colleges. Ours is the first big, public university.
UDK: Did all of the sexual assault news that has happened change your message at all?
KE: I think our original message has stayed the same, but I think it's reached more people because of the controversy.
UDK: What do you hope is the KU community response?
KE: We hope they're supportive and see where we're coming from and agree with our stance —
AI: I think it also helped us focus in. We've considered getting involved in some of the pushes for policy change... But I think it helped us realize that our message would probably be more effective in more of a community, societal aspect. Our message is the same but it helped us hone in on the community focus.
relate to. Everyone is either directly or indirectly connected to sexual assault, whether it's happened to them or someone of their friends. I just hope they can find a place in our message.
AJ: — and feel included. That's what I really hope is perceived about the group. That this is a message that everyone can

Poverty rate drops for the first time since 2006
White House officials cheered the positive information in the census release.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The poverty rate in the United States has dropped for the first time since 2006, bringing a bit of encouraging news about the nation's economy as President Barack Obama and Congress gear up for midterm elections.
"There is reason to believe that this progress has continued into 2014, as the labor market has strengthened and millions have gained health insurance coverage," said Jason Furman and Betsey Stevenson, members of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. "At the same time, the data also offer a clear illustration of the large amount of work that remains to strengthen the middle class in the wake of the worst recession since the Great Depression."
The Census Bureau, in its annual look at poverty in the United States, said that the poverty rate in 2013 was 14.5 percent, down from 15 percent in 2012. The decrease in the poverty rate was attributed to the growth in year-round employment by 2.8 million jobs in the United States, government officials said.
The median household income for families was $65,587 in 2013, and $31,178 nonfamily households, which also was not statistically different from the 2012 levels. However, census officials said that income is 8 percent less than it was in
2007, the year before the United States entered the recession.
States entered the recession. Officials also say that the number of children under 18 in poverty declined from the previous year for the first time since 2000.
The number of children in poverty dropped from 21.8 percent in 2012 to 19.9 percent in 2013, and the number of children in poverty also
"...the data also offer a clear illustration of the large amount of work that remains to strengthen the middle class. "
JASON FURMAN &
BETSEY STEVENSON
Members of White House
Council of Economic Advieors
declined from 16.1 million to 14.7 million.
The official poverty level is based on a government calculation that includes only income before tax deductions. It excludes capital gains or accumulated wealth, such as home ownership. As a result, the rate takes into account the effects of some government benefits, such as unemployment compensation. It does not factor in noncash government aid such as tax credits and food stamps.
A family of four is considered to be living in poverty if it brings in less than $23,830 in a year. A person is considered to be living in poverty if he or she makes less than $11,890.
The report also said that Hispanics were the only major race or ethnic group to have a statistically significant change in their poverty rate and the number of people in poverty. In 2013, the poverty rate for Hispanics was 23.5 percent, a decrease from 2012's 25.6 percent. And the number of Hispanics in poverty decreased from 13.6 million to 12.7 million. In addition, income for Hispanic households increased by 3.5 percent between 2012 and 2013.
Officials also said the percentage of people without health insurance coverage for the entire 2013 calendar year was 13.4 percent, which equaled 42 million people. Census officials said those numbers cannot be compared with previous year numbers because they changed the way they asked the question on their surveys.
Asians had the highest mediain household income in 2013 at $67,065, followed by non-Hispanic whites at $58,270, Hispanics at $40,963 and blacks at $34,598.
The poverty rate for non-Hispanic whites was 9.6 percent in 2013, and there were 18.7 million non-Hispanic whites in poverty. The 2013 poverty rate was 27.2 percent for blacks and 10.5 percent for Asians, and there were 11 million blacks and 1.8 million Asians in poverty.

Poet Dominique Christina to read at Union

Dominique Christina, a poet from Denver, will be at the Kansas Union on Thursday to read poetry as a part of Sexual Assault Awareness Week.
DELANEY REYBURN

PHOTO FROM FACEBOOK
Dominique Christina, a poet, writer and performer from Denver, will perform a poetry reading Thursday on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Week.
Christina had her first full-length volume of poetry published in March called "The Bones, The Breaking, The Balm." She said it's all about the things she believes in.
Q: What inspired you to start writing poetry?
A: Poetry has always been something familiar in my life. I come from a very educated family who has greatly influenced my poetry. There isn't really one specific thing that started my love for writing. I had a lot of stuff gurgling inside that I think needed an exit. I took a creative writing class in undergrad and it really opened me up to poetry. When I started writing, I wrote about a lot of things. I wrote about my childhood, the absence of my biological father, I wrote about all kinds of stuff.
Q: How would you explain slam poetry to someone who doesn't know what it is?
A: It's a competition is really what it is. You have an amount of time and a topic, and your goal is to win amongst the other poets.
Q: So what kind of poetry are you presenting on Thursday?
A: Not slam poetry, since it's a competition. I'll be doing a reading of a poem. I'll be presenting more than one poem on Thursday. I only present things that I've written,
Q: Are you passionate about this topic?
and it will be tied to the ethos of the event around the topic of sexual assault awareness. It talks a lot about trauma and activism.
A: I wouldn't recite any poetry I'm not passionate
about. I think sexual assault is something everyone should be well aware [of]. I was personally traumatized by sexual abuse, but that is something personal to me.
Q: What are some other topics you write poetry on?
A: My family's legacy in the
he left, Jackie Robinson took his place; he's in the hall of fame. My grandparents were educators and activists, as was my mother who's a professor here in Denver. They have influenced a lot of what I write.
Civil Rights movement has influenced a lot of what I write. I've always considered myself a colored girl, and my writing is a celebration of that. My family came from Little Rock, Ark., in 1958 to Denver. My grandfather played for the negro leagues. He was a shortstop for the Kansas City Monarchs. When
Q:What are some of your biggest accomplishments?
A: Well my biggest accomplishments are my four children. But I am very proud of my poetry, of course. I hold two national titles and was a winner of the Women of the World Poetry Championship twice.

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Greg Orman discusses voting trends with a class at Washburn University in Topeka on Wednesday.
Orman acknowledges tie to Goldman Sachs
ASSOCIATED PRESS
IROPEKA — Independent candidate Greg Orman's business dealings faced new scrutiny Wednesday in Kansas unexpectedly competitive U.S. Senate race, as he acknowledged his friendship with a former Goldman Sachs board member sentenced to federal prison for insider trading.
Orman said he has a "very modest" investment in a company with Rajat K. Gupta, who was convicted in 2012, received a two-year sentence and was considered among the government's biggest catches in a multiyear crackdown on insider trading. Also in late 2012, according to federal court records, Orman replaced Gupta's representative on the board of New Silk Route, a billion dollar 'fund focusing on investments in Asia.

wants his name off the ballot, potentially boosting Orman's chances and hurting the GOP's designs for recapturing a Senate majority.
Orman hasn't yet submitted a financial disclosure report with the Senate and faces a Sunday deadline after having it extended. Roberts has received extensions in the past but filed a disclosure report in August, and his campaign called on Orman to divulge information
about his finances.
Orman said he won't abandon Gupta because Gupta is a friend. Also, nothing in court records suggests the insider trading case involved Orman's businesses
"Ultimately he made a significant mistake, and he's paying a price for it." Orman said during a news conference after a lecture at Washburn University in Topeka. "I'm someone who believes in forgiveness and redemption, and ultimately I'm not somebody who, when a friend makes a mistake, I just throw them away."
But Roberts' campaign manager, Corry Bliss, said voters are learning about Orman's "shady business dealings" and cited Orman's association with Gupta as an example.
Gupta was sentenced to prison and fined $13.9 million after being convicted of feeding tips about Goldman Sachs to a billionaire hedge-fund owner who also was convicted of insider trading.
"The more we learn about Mr. Orman's business record the more he looks like another millionaire politician trying to deceive voters and hide his past," Bliss said.
Exchange student weighs in on Scottish independence
MARK ARCE
@mark_arce13
Although Scottish international student Kalie McAleyander is an ocean away from her native country, she is optimistic about something that until recently was unthinkable: Scottish independence from the United Kingdom. A national referendum is being held in Scotland today, where residents will answer yes or no to one question, "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
McAlexander believes it should.
"Our generation has the chance to change everything with the flick of the wrist," said McAlexander, a junior, from Glasgow, Scotland. "We could finally have our own way of dealing with the world, apart from the way England tells us how to."
Professor Victor Bailey, an expert of Modern British History, said that Scottish nationalists have been pushing for independence for years and Thursday's referendum is the result of a few distinct moments.
An important "watershed" moment was in 1997 when "Devolution" occurred. A Scottish Parliament was recreated and Scotland has given more autonomy over its domestic affairs.
In 2007 the Scottish National Party (SNP),made having a referendum for independence a major part of its platform. When the SNP won a majority of seats in the Scottish Parliament in 2011, the Scottish government and the British government negotiated about holding a referendum.
Hoping to sway opinion, two major groups formed and are spearheading support and opposition to the referendum.

nization urging voters to vote "no" on the referendum.
They urge a "no" vote because they believe that, among other things, Scotland will benefit the most by staying a part of England. Voting no is also urged so that Scotland won't have to deal with numerous issues, from what currency to use to other broader agreements with the English government, and believe further devolution, like the English promise will happen if a majority vote no, is a better option.
Daniel Chapman, a British International Student from Essex, said Scotland should stay a part of England because both countries are stronger together rather than separate. He also said given their shared cultural history, both countries would be losing something.
"It's something intangible really, something you can't really put your finger on," Chapman said.
Only recently has polling between the Yes Campaign and Better Together been close. Much of the difference was made up due to the Yes Campaign's social media outreach.
"They have people on every single platform to try to reach people, Uhl said. "Everything from Foursquare, Facebook, twitter, and trying to use those analytics to figure out their exact audience."
Chad Uhl, a sophomore from Bonner Springs, was a part of a study abroad group that traveled in England and Scotland. The class had the opportunity to hear from the head of digital for Yes Scotland.
When voters get to the polls though, Bailey said she thinks Scottish voters will have to decide between two competing interests.
"I think it is a tension between emotion and economics," Bailey said. "I think a lot of Scots emotionally would like to feel they could have their own separate identity, and yet economically they think that it could be dangerous to do that."
Along with fellow Scots, the United Kingdom and the world, McAlexander will be waiting to see how the tension is resolved.
"I'm sad that I'm not at home," McAlexander said, "but I'm glad to be here."

Deputy resigns after sexual assault arrest
TULSA, Okla. — An Oklahoma sheriff's deputy resigned Wednesday after two women said he sexually assaulted them at a Tulsa County home while he was on duty, a case that comes on the heels of a state trooper and an Oklahoma City police officer being arrested on sexual assault complaints.
Tulsa County Deputy Gerald Nuckolls, 26, was arrested late Tuesday on complaints of sexual assault and battery and indecent exposure. He remained jailed on $125,000 bond.
Undersheriff Tim Albin said Nuckolls resigned after being placed on unpaid leave. Nuckolls hasn't been formally charged, and authorities believe there could be at least five more women who have yet to come forward. it's not clear from jail records whether he has an attorney.
Nuckolls' arrest came a day after Oklahoma State Trooper Eric Roberts was arrested on complaints of kidnapping, rape and other crimes. Three women have said Roberts sexually assaulted them while he was on duty. Roberts' attorney has said the trooper is innocent.
Weeks before Roberts' arrest, Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtclaw was accused of sexually assaulting at least eight women while on duty. Holtclaw has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The recent allegations against the three lawmen are among
similar complaints lodged against Oklahoma officers in the past decade.
In 2011, Delaware County commissioners agreed to a $13.5 million settlement after 15 women complained they

were raped, sexually assaulted or fondled by their jailers. In 2009, Custer County Sheriff Mike Burgess was sentenced
to 79 years for sexual assaults against an inmate.
Nuckolls, who had worked for the sheriff's office for two years, showed up at the women's home investigating a 911 hang-up call, according to his arrest report.
The report alleges Nuckolls exposed his genitals to one woman inside his patrol SUV. The woman said she began rubbing the officer's genitals because he told her it would keep her boyfriend out of jail.
Nuckolls asked a second woman at the house about her tattoos and if she was wearing a bra, then reached up and pulled her dress down, according to the report.
The woman said she pulled her dress up as Nacklobs began
touching himself. She said she told him she wanted to go back inside and that Nuckolls said he would return when his shift ended.
Nuckolls told detectives who interviewed him that "he has a problem for pretty women" and that "sexual type activity has occurred" during encounters with about six women.

Prosecutor may release audio of Brown grand jury
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — A prosecutor says he'll immediately release transcripts and audio recordings of a grand jury investigation into the death of Michael Brown if the panel doesn't indict the suburban St. Louis police officer who shot him.
Spokesman Ed Magee on Wednesday said St. Louis
County prosecutor Bob McCullouch has ordered that the proceedings be transcribed and audio-recorded, an unusual step for grand juries in Missouri. The story was first reported by St. Louis Public Radio
"
"We just want to be more open."
Magee said the decision was spurred by the high-profile nature of the case.
"We just want to be more open," he said.
Brown was shot by Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9. Police said the shooting happened after a scuffle inside Wilson's squad car spilled out into the street. The shooting of the unarmed, black 18-year-old by Wilson, who is white, spurred massive protests and several days of unrest.
If Wilson is indicted, the testimony and recordings will become potential evidence for trial and will not be released. McCulloch has said the grand jury investigation is expected to last into mid-October.
och's father was a St. Louis police officer killed in the line of duty by a black assailant in the 1960s. McCulloch declined to step aside, and Gov. Jay Nixon declined to appoint a special prosecutor.
Magee said Wilson has been offered the chance to testify before the grand jury, "and it will be up to him whether he testifies or not."
Others have questioned McCulloch's decision to present evidence and let the grand jury decide on charges, rather than make a recommendation. Dana Milbank wrote a column in the Washington Post claiming the decision was proof of a "fix" to clear Wilson of any
Critics have questioned whether McCulloch should be removed from the case given his family history. McCull-

wrongdoing.
"He's completely wrong," Magee said of the assertion. Magee said his office is preparing a response to Milbank's column. He wasn't sure when the response would be made public.
In addition to the grand jury investigation into whether use of lethal force was justified, the Justice Department is investigating to determine if there were any civil rights violations. Wilson is on paid administrative leave pending the investigations. His whereabouts, and the name of his attorney, have not been disclosed.
On Wednesday, the city of Ferguson announced the schedule for a series of town hall meetings on topics such as racial diversity, growth and civic engagement. The first three neighborhood meetings on Monday will cover what the city called "misperceptions about the city of Ferguson."

Kansas soccer seeks 10-0 start to season
BEN CARROLL
@BCarroll91
24
Kansas soccer will resume its season this weekend with two matches that will end nonconference play for the Jayhawks and lead them into the Big 12 conference schedule portion of the season. Yesterday, the Jayhawks moved up four spots in the latest coaches' poll, currently sitting at No.16.
Junior forward Ashley Williams races to the ball against her Cal State Northridge opponent on Sept. 9. The Jayhawks beat the Matadors 2-0.
AARON GROENE/KANSAN
On Friday, the Jayhawks will travel north to Wisconsin to face one of their toughest matchups they have seen so far this season, taking on Marquette in Milwaukee at 7 p.m. The Golden Eagles (2-5-1) are coming off of a pair of losses from last weekend, including a 3-0 loss to No. 11 Texas A&M.
Coach Mark Francis said the team has to score more goals this weekend, especially on the road against a well-trained Marquette squad.
"Marquette is a very good team, always a really good team. They have a great coach, just like when we played Wake Forest," Francis said. "I think the kids will be up for that game because it is a good game. We need to start getting ready for them."
Francis said with this weekend being the last games against nonconference opponents, it will be a good test to see where the team is at playing against quality opponents heading into Big 12 play.
The Jayhawks will return to Lawrence on Sept. 21 to host Saint Mary's (Calif.) at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex beginning at 1 p.m. The Gaels, who won a game and lost a game last weekend, hold a 4-4 record. Saint Mary's have played only one ranked team this season in No. 10 University of California, which the Gaels lost 4-0.
Junior forward Ashley Williams said the team would have to come out of the gates red-hot this weekend because playing at Marquette is going to be a huge game.
"Starting quicker and being more prepared for what Marquette is going to bring as because they're going to be a good team," Williams said. "We definitely have to step it up a whole lot more for (this) weekend."

Opening weeks of NFL football provide confusion, frustration
The first couple weeks of NFL football have given us plenty to talk about. From off-field
football have given us plenty to talk about. From off-field scandals involving domestic violence and executive incompetence to major upsets on the gridiron, it's clear professional football is back in full swing. I know it's still early in the season, but let's take a moment to analyze what the first two weeks have given us.
As of today, here are your undefeated division leaders: Arizona, Buffalo, Carolina, Cincinnati, Denver, Houston and Philadelphia. Many of these small-market teams are not used to playing atop their divisions and have surely caused some confusion among fans and fantasy football owners.
By Sam Davis
@Davis Samuel
Even the teams expected to be leading divisions have made things interesting.The Broncos narrowly escaped with a win last Sunday in Denver
when the Chiefs made a threatening fourth quarter effort. Additionally, the Philadelphia Eagles had to overcome a 17-point deficit in week one against Jacksonville before coming away with a close fourth quarter win last Monday in Indianapolis.
Speaking of the Colts, Monday marked the first time Indianapolis lost two games in a row since the arrival of head coach Chuck Pagano and young quarterback Andrew Luck. They currently sit at the bottom of the AFC South, a conference that is being led by the Houston Texans. Just when it couldn't get any stranger, Houston lined its star defensive end J.J. Watt up on the offensive side of the ball Sunday and connected with him for a touchdown pass.
In addition to the Texans, the Buffalo Bills are the other developing underdog story in the NFL. Buffalo snuck by the Bears in overtime in
week one and went on to defeat Miami last Sunday. The Dolphins appeared to be heading to the top of the AFC East after upsetting the New England Patriots the week before losing to the Bills 29-10 in week two.
THE BREW
Tonight marks the start of week
three as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to take on the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome. On paper, the Falcons are clearly the better team but in the spirit of upsets and confusion, I'll pick the Bucs in a close one that
to win in a close one hit
goes right down to the wire. It's crazy and confusing but football is back and I couldn't be happier.

Gus Malzahn was watching it all transpire while coaching high schools in Arkansas.
MANHATTAN — Kansas State coach Bill Snyder was busy revolutionizing the spread offense, and the idea of a run-pass quarterback, at college football's highest level during the 1990s.
On Thursday night, two of the most innovative coaches of their respective generations will match wits under the lights with a national TV audience. Malzahn is coaching fifth-ranked Auburn (2-0) these days, and the Tigers will be visiting the No. 20 Wildcats (2-0) for a non-conference showdown.
"Being a high school coach way back when, I had a lot of respect for him, the way he's built the program," Malzahn said of the 74-year-old Snyder.
the seemingly ageless wonder who returned from a brief retirement a few years ago to rebuild the program that he first put on the map.
"I think he's one of the better coaches to ever walk the planet," Malzahn added. "You
"The whole world is watching."

Auburn defensive tackle
can turn on the game film and you can see why. They execute offense and defense and the special teams, and they get the most out of their players. That's what really stands out to me."
What stands out to Snyder is the similarity in their offenses.
Both feature an athletic quarterback. Both use elements of the read-option, and then create a variety of looks from the same basic sets. And both have proven that the run game is still a vital part of success in an era of pass-happy offenses.
"They are still a pretty broad package in regards to their offense, which is similar to us," Snyder said. "Your preparation has to be broad-based as well and be prepared for all of it."
That preparation should be somewhat easy for both teams.
somewhat easy for both teams. Since they share so many similarities, Kansas State and Auburn has easily replicated their opponent in practice the past few weeks.
The Wildcats have been able to mimic the flashy running style of Tigers quarterback Nick Marshall and the up-tempo, no-huddle approach that carried Auburn to the national title game last year. The Tigers
"We definitely respect them," Waters said, "but we also know that they are trying to come in here and smack us around and beat us. We have to have that same attitude and that confidence that we can play with anyone in the country. We respect them but we're not scared of them."
In a game that could have significant ramifications for the new college football playoff, here are a few things to watch for when Auburn visits Kansas State on Thursday night:
LOCKETT VS COATES:
have been able to break down and impersonate Wildcats quarterback Jake Waters, one of the most accurate passers in major college football.
Auburn wide receiver Sammie Coates, who has been limited by a knee injury, is big and physical. Kansas State's Tyler Lockett, who has been limited
by a balky hamstring, is speedy and elusive. Both are expected to play significant roles in the game.
Auburn doesn't believe it's received the respect typically showered on defending SEC champions. Kansas State has played the no-respect card every year that Snyder has prowled the sidelines. "We've always played with a chip on our shoulder," Auburn linebacker Kris Frost said. "I don't ever think that's going to change."
With so many similarities between Snyder and Malzahn, it makes sense that both programs would value special teams. The Wildcats routinely score on kickoff and punt returns, and it was a dramatic return of a missed field goal
against Alabama last season that helped boost the Tigers into the SEC title game."We've worked extremely hard the last week-and-a-half on special teams," Malzahn acknowledged. "I think that will be a big factor."
RODNEY DANGERFIELDS:
BIG STAKES:
Both teams can rack up some early style points with the new playoff committee with a marquee non-conference win. Perhaps more importantly, both can build some momentum for the rest of the season. "The whole world is watching." Auburn defensive tackle Gabe Wright said.

Jayhawk defense to face unorthodox offense on Saturday

GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Michael Reynolds, senior linebacker, goes for a tackle on Sept. 6 against Southeast Missouri State.The Jayhawks will take on Central Michigan this Saturday.
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
When Kansas takes on Central Michigan and its old-school offense Saturday, it will face a type of offense it may not see again the rest of the year.
Last week, the versatile Duke offense put more on Kansas' plate that it could ingest in the 41-3 loss for the Jayhawks. Duke's zone-read run game left defenders in the front seven frozen on multiple occasions, which led to breakaways, and the passing attack, engineered by dual-threat quarterback Anthony Boone, oftentimes put the Jayhawk secondary on its heels.
This week, defensive coordinator Clint Bowen has a whole new beast to tackle the old-school attack of Central Michigan offensive coordinator Morris Watts. Though 80-year-old Watts has tweaked his game to adjust to modern play style a bit, his offense still revolves heavily around a "22" personnel two players in the backfield alongside two tight ends.
"It's probably one of the few times you'll get to see a game this year with old-school football on offense," Kansas coach Charlie Weis said. "Multiple tight running backs, multiple tight ends try to pound you, pound you, pound you."
Duke put some emphasis on the run in its win against Kansas, with an 18-to-16 run-to-pass ratio, but Central Michigan will bring a whole different type of run game. Whereas Duke brought a zone-read game that focused on finesse and speed, Central Michigan sports a power attack that can drain a defense.
In its most basic form, a zone-read run style features a zone-blocking scheme where the quarterback will decide to run or pass based on how the defensive player reacts once the ball is snapped.
The power running game Central Michigan will bring to Memorial Stadium on Saturday creates specific run lanes of lead blockers designed to get beyond the front line of a defense. It's a more grind-it-out version of running the football in comparison to the zone-read, and it's more fit for pro-style quarterbacks, such as CMU's Cooper Rush.
"It's a different mentality," Bowen said. "You're faced with two different types of runs ... you've got to get your guys and make sure that you're really gap sound."
Kansas won't see this type of offen, even with diverse offenses in the Big 12. However, Bowen believes the layhawks are ready for any type of offense. Playing in the
Big 12 forces them to prepare for it.
"We can play pretty versatile with what we do within our package." Bowen said. "In our conference, every year, it forces you to do that. ... Our conference is one where you have be prepared each

"I clearly got across to them that you have to put that game in the rearview mirror," Weis said. "You've got to be focusing on Central Michigan, because if you don't, you'll get whooped again."

KANSAS (1-1)
KEY CONTRIBUTORS
Montell Cozart, So.
Quarterback
Cozart has struggled thus far as he ranks last in almost every statistical category in the conference. This week will be a big one for Cozart to get back on track.
☆☆☆☆
BENNETT JOHNSON
De Andre Mann, Jr.
Mann is averaging just shy of 100 yards per game in the early going. His next rushing touchdown will be his first in his Jayhawk career.
★★★☆☆
BANKS
SUNY AT
HALIFAX
Nick Harwell, Sr.
Wide receiver
Expect Harwell to get a lot of targets Saturday. After scoring twice in the first quarter of week one. Harwell has yet to score in seven consecutive quarters.
★★★☆☆
Dexter McDonald, Sr.
Defensive back
McDonald completely shut down Duke's best receiver in the 41-3 loss. He still leads the team with two interceptions.
★★★☆☆
MARK DAVIS
(2-1)
Despite the front seven looking vulnerable against the Blue Devils, Heeney remains the key to this defense. He leads the team with 26 total tackles.
Ben Heeney, Sr
Linebacker
★★★☆
CENTRAL MICHIGAN
KEY CONTRIBUTORS
Cooper Rush, So. Quarterback
In three games this season, the second-year starter has complete 44 of his 76 passes for 528 yards. four touchdowns and one interception. Last season he was named the CMU offensive player of the year.
★★☆☆
10
Saylor Lavallii, Jr. Running back
Without starter Thomas Rawls last week, the running game sputtered, and Rawls will most likely also miss the game against Kansas because of suspension. Central Michigan relies heavily on its power running game, and Lavallii will probably lead the running back group of four.
★☆☆☆
KYLE STEINNES
Jesse Kroll, Jr. Wide receiver
Central Michigan star receiver Titus Davis was injured in the first game and did not play last week. In his place for this game is Kroll, who has emerged as Rush's No. 1 target. Last week, he set career highs with five receptions and 86 yards. He is a playmaker, but has also been called out for making mistakes.
★★☆☆
PASCAL BACARTE
Tony Annese, So.
Defensive back
The secondary has not been giving up big plays. Annese leads the team with two interceptions and is second with 18 tackles.
★★★☆☆
CARROLL
Justin Cherocci, Sr.
Cherocci led the Mid-American Conference in tackles with 121 last season. So far this year, he has 30 tackles, which is the most on the team by 12.

OPPOSING SIDELINE
Kansan football beat writer speaks with Central Michigan football beat writer Cory Butzin for a closer look at Saturday's opponent
DAN HARMSEN
@UDK_Dan
CENTRAL MICHIGAN 34
DAN: For both Kansas and Central Michigan, we may be seeing a little case of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." After a 17-0 first quarter lead vs. SEMO, Kansas has been outscored 69-13. CMU, on the other hand, had little trouble with Big 10 Purdue on the road, but struggled in a close win against Chattanooga to begin the season and was dismantled against Syracuse last week. I know it's still early, but CMU is a quarter of the way through its season. Which CMU team should we expect to see Saturday and for the rest of the season?
CORY: Inconsistency has been Central Michigan's calling card over the last couple of years. The Chippewas can play with good teams for a time. Then they shoot themselves in the foot with turnovers and costly penalties. This year's veteran team has limited that to an extent, but not completely.
DAN: CMU has had some issues "staying between the lines" lately. Talk about the recent off-the-field issues and how they could impact the team.
Central Michigan's Thomas Rawls eludes Purdue tacklers during the Sept. 6 game at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette. Central Michigan won 38-17.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORY: Confidence and excitement surrounding the program was at an all-time high under Enos following the Purdue game, but after getting crushed at home by Syracuse and the legal issues regarding running back Thomas Rawls and now dismissed wide receiver Andrew Flory, the program is shaken. All of a sudden, they're without a legit playmaker in the backfield. Saylor Lavallii did an admirable job filling in for injured Zurlon Tipton last season, but Rawls was on his way to a big season. He was going to take CMU right along with him. Now that's all up in the air.
DAN: Quarterback Cooper Rush has done a nice job of protecting the football this year. In the short span that Titus Davis was out with an injury, it appeared that wide receiver Jesse Kroll became Rush's favorite target. CMU runs the ball more than they throw, but how confident is coach Dan Enos in his passing game, especially now that Rawls is out and the Chips may have to throw the ball more?
CORY: CMU is confident in its ability to throw the ball, especially with Titus Davis on the brink of returning from an injury. However, Rush is still just a redshirt sophomore. He's done a better job limiting turnovers this year, but Syracuse proved he can still get rattled if an opponent can generate consistent pressure. If Davis can come back 100 percent, that is a huge boost to
DAN: Just running down the roster, the defense appears to be veteran, and going by the numbers, opportunistic (6 interceptions and 5 forced fumbles). Are those two adjectives fair for the 2014 team?
CORY: That's pretty accurate so far, and that's what Enos' staff has [been] building for since he arrived on campus. Early in his tenure, CMU was young. They finally had some experience last season, but they were wracked with injuries. Now they have experience and depth in key areas, but they have to avoid unforced errors, injuries and distractions off the field with a very difficult schedule.
"Inconsistency has been Central Michigan's calling card over the last couple of years."
CORY BUZTIN Football beat writer,
Saginaw News
DAN: Coach Dan Enos is in his fifth year in Mt. Pleasant, Mich. He took over after arguably one of the best years in Chippewa history in 2009: 12-2 including a double-overtime victory against Troy in the GMAC Bowl. Enos started his tenure with two 3-9 seasons, but has responded with back-to-back 6-6 regular season records and a win against Western Kentucky in the Little Caesars Bowl to get them to 7. Is the expectation that this team competes for a MAC Championship? If they fall well short of that and don't improve on last year's record, is Enos in any trouble?
CORY: The Chippewas' fan base has been calling for a change in the coaching staff since going 3-9 those first two seasons. Even a 7-6 record and Little Caesars Pizza Bowl win failed to quell them. A winning record would've been enough to save Enos for another year, but all of the legal trouble his players have gotten into may be another matter. Universities never like being in the news for athletes being in legal trouble. With Rawls, CMU looks like it had the tools to make a run at the MAC. Without him, it's going to be tough.
DAN: Prediction on Saturday? outcome?
CORY: Kansas 28, Central Michigan 21.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Who will win the Kansas-Central Michigan game on Saturday?
By GJ Melia
@gjmelia
KANSAS
The Kansas football team enters this Saturday full of
In Durham, the offense was dreadful, with the exception of a few enthralling plays by junior and freshman running backs De'Andre Mann and Corey Avery, finishing with 65 and 87 rushing yards respectively.
unanswered questions, and plenty of room for improvement. The Jayhawks come off a deflating 41-3 loss at Duke this past weekend.
Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart threw for 89 yards and two interceptions, completing 11 of his 27 passes. His main target, senior wideout Nick Harwell, was essentially non-existent totaling nine yards on two receptions.
The defense was not much better, allowing 511 total yards to the Blue Devils, 331 of those coming on the ground. Senior linebacker
Ben Heeney was the lone bright spot in the game, tying a career high with 15 tackles.
The Jayhawks face a 2-1 Central Michigan team this Saturday, who suffered a similar experience to Kansas in a 40-3 drubbing at the hands of Syracuse.
This matchup will be an interesting affair, especially in the first two quarters, to see how each team fairs after an embarrassing week prior. Each team will look to set the tone, but it will have to play an entire four quarters of football.
The game will come down to talent and coaching, where the Jayhawks should be favored. Kansas has the better athletes, and by track records and salary standards, a better coach.
But that goes out the window, seeing as how Charlie Weis does not have a signature win, or even an away win to his name as the Kansas head coach. Whereas two weeks ago, Central Michigan traveled to West Lafayette, Indiana and pounded a middle of the road Big Ten team in Purdue, 38-17.
Wais said it best in his mid-week press conference on Tuesday, calling the game
"critical" to the Jayhawks season, and virtually a must-win.
Kansas should win this game, and I expect them to. But the Chippewas will come out fighting, and Kansas needs to not overlook them. Because quite frankly, Kansas shouldn't be overlooking anyone at the moment.
Regardless of what the statistics says, this will be a close game. And a feeling arises similar to last year when the Jayhawks pulled off a miraculous comeback against Louisiana Tech, winning 13-10 on a last second field goal.
This game will be won or lost in the trenches, and needless to say,either team will have to score more than three points to come away with the W.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN
A after being slaughtered 41-3 against Duke last weekend, the
Jayhawks' hopes of beating Central Michigan this weekend are looking grim.
Central Michigan (2-1) is ranked first in the Mid-American Conference. Before losing last week to Syracuse, they were on a five-game winning streak, including two games on the road. Meanwhile the Jayhawks sit at a 1-1 record, barely squeaking by Southeast
Missouri and getting hammered by Duke.
The Chippewas have numbers in their favor as they arrive in Lawrence. They are first in the Mid-American Conference against the pass (177 yards per game), second in defense (291 yards), and fourth against the rush (114 yards) and in scoring defense (16.5 points). Their seven forced turnovers in the first three games not only leads their conference, but is the most in the country.
As for the Jayhawks, they are going to need to make some fairly dramatic changes both offensively and defensively if they have any hope for this season. The Jayhawk offense put up 24 points in the first quarter of the season, but has only earned 13 in the following seven.

impact.
Cozart looked shaky in the pocket and struggled with his passing game, completing only 45.1 percent of his passes with two interceptions and one touchdown. Coach Charlie Weis, who is known for his offensive strategies, has not shown much hope for this year's offensive line.
Kansas has relied on the two-man run game with junior running back DeAndre Mann and freshman running back Corey Avery, but as we saw last weekend, this strategy is flawed against a rush defense. Senior wide receivers Tony Pierson and Nick Harwell give sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart options for receivers, but so far, they are the only players to make a significant
VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT KANSAN.COM
Central Michigan has a strong starting lineup, with nine offensive starters returning and seven defensive starters returning at the start of the 2014-15 season.
The Chippewas' defense has shown a strong defense thus far. Sophomore defensive back Tony Annese is a valuable contributor, earning two of the team's six interceptions this season. Additionally, sophomore defensive end Joe Ostman leads the team in sacks and tackles for loss. A strong defensive line like this is likely to shut Cozart and his receivers down.
Momentum is a huge factor in this game. If Kansas doesn't get the momentum from the start, then it's bound to be a long afternoon at Memorial Stadium.

Coach Ray Bechard, in what is now his 17th season with the Jayhawks, has the potential to win the 1000th game of his career, and 283rd with Kansas, Friday night against Cleveland State.
Kansas prepares for last invitational of season
MATT CORTE
@Corte_UDK
Kansas volleyball will host its second and final invitational of the season this weekend, the Jayhawk Classic, hoping to claim the team's second tournament title at home.
NORTH TEXAS
Although there are no marquee matchups, the three visiting teams coming in have a respectable combined record of 20-10.
The first match Kansas will play is against the University of North Texas, which has the best record of any team in the tournament field, including Kansas.
Led by senior setter Camille Cherry, senior defensive specialist Eboni Godfrey and senior offensive hitter Hanna Forst, the Mean Green are off to the best start in school history, going 9-1 so far, with the teams only loss coming against Missouri.
Offensively, North Texas will be led by junior offensive hitter Carnae Dillard. The 5-foot-8 player may be shorter than most of the blockers she faces, but Dillard has already totaled 184 kills this season, almost
100 more than the next person on the team and the most of any player in the invitational.
This tournament will also be the first true road test for North Texas, as the team has played all of its matches in the state of Texas so far.
CLEVELAND STATE
Kansas' second match of the Jayhawk Classic will be against Cleveland State (6-4), a team the Jayhawks have only played twice in program history.
Coach Ray Bechard has a perfect record against the Vikings in two matches with Kansas, the last occurring in 2012 in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
Just like the Jayhawks, Cleveland State only has two seniors on its team. Senior outside hitter Maggie Hannon leads Cleveland State in kills with 92, while the other senior, Ally Beck, is second on the team in digs and fourth in kills.
ARKANSAS
Kansas will face Arkansas in the last game of the Jayhawk Classic on Saturday, featuring the invitational's only game between two power conference schools.
The Razorbacks, 5-5, started
the season strong by finishing 3-0 in their own invitational, but have fluttered ever since.
Arkansas has dropped four of its last five matches coming into this weekend, with three of those losses going all five sets.
Outside hitter Meredith Hays, who transferred from New Mexico State after her sophomore year, is the Razorbacks' lone senior. She leads the team in kills with 88, which is 40 more than the next player.
COACHING MILESTONE
To compare, Kansas already has two hitters with more kills than Hays, and two more within 10 kills of her.
After the conclusion of last week's Villanova Classic, Bechard stands at 998 wins for his career. In what is now his 17th season with the Jayhawks, Bechard has the potential to win the 1000th game of his career, and 283rd with Kansas, Friday night against Cleveland State, further perpetuating his legacy as the winningest coach in Kansas' history.

Tennis heads to second tournament of the year
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
The Kansas tennis team will travel to Norman, Okla., this weekend to compete in the Oklahoma Classic. Last weekend the team sent four of its players to Little Rock, Ark., for the CCLR Collegiate Invitational and seven more to the Midland Invitational in Midland, Texas.
Senior Maria Belen Luduena was the most successful player in either tournament, winning her division in singles Flight B
"It was a good way to start the year," Luduña said. "Most importantly I was physically and mentally stable from all the work I put in this summer."
Physical and mental strength are things coach Todd Chapman aims to instill in his team with the experience from these tournaments.
"When you're playing against really good players like we did in these tournaments you have to mentally and physically compete in every single point," Chapman said.
Ludueña stayed in Lawrence
over the summer to train for the season and described her quick success as a good way to begin the year with confidence.
Confidence will be important for Luduena this season, as she is the only senior on a team of seven freshmen, two sophomores and one junior.
"I don't think it's time to say they played well, they played bad," Ludueha said of her underclassmen teammates' performances last weekend. "They still need some experience, some work, but I feel like the talent is there so if we work hard we will be really good this year."
Luduena said it's "totally different" from last year's team that had four seniors.
"I didn't have the responsibility of leading the team," Ludueña said. "It's different but it's a good challenge for me."
The Oklahoma Classic in Norman this weekend will feature more Big 12 competition, with Kansas State, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech competing among other schools with nationally ranked players.
Chapman said his team could use these tournaments as practice for the main season in the spring by gaining experience playing strong teams.
"I think it's important for us to go and play the best competition we can instead of scheduling people I know we can beat," Chapman said. "I don't feel like that gets us prepared for the type of schedule we'll play in the spring."
Ludueña noted the team had a winning record during her freshman and sophomore years, but that was because of a weaker schedule.
"Even though it's going to be harder this year, it's going to help us to get better and to get ready for the Big 12 schools;" Ludueha said.
The Jayhawks have matches Friday through Sunday, then almost an entire month to prepare for the ITA Regional Championships, which begins on Oct. 16.

COMMENTARY Nothing glitzy about it: Kansan reports the truth on Jayhawk football
By Amie Just
@Amie Just
Sports journalism: a form of writing that reports on sporting topics and
on sporting topics and games. The University Daily Kansan does just that: reports on the current topics in sports and covers the sporting events that pertain to KU athletics.
There have been several FFAs submitted to the Kansan recently about how the sports staff has been "slamming coach Charlie Weis" in the paper.
The Kansan is not the football — or the basketball team's
If roles were reversed and football won 10-straight conference championships and basketball was going through a conference season without picking up a win, the sports staff would be addressing the problems with the basketball team. However, that is not the case.
— cheerleader. The Kansan has never been a cheerleader and never will be a cheerleader. The sports staff has a job to uphold by reporting current and relevant news. Weis being on the hot seat is current and relevant news. The football team not winning is current and relevant news. The Kansan sports writers are not on staff to glamorize anything. Their job is to tell it like it is.
If the students want someone to be a cheerleader (other than the actual cheerleaders) for the team, the students themselves should be cheerleaders and stay for the whole game, rather than leave when things get rough to hit up the bars. We all know the students don't leave to do their homework or knit sweaters with their grandmas.
The Kansan sports staff should not have to defend its position when they are reporting the current topic in sports. No team is perfect for the duration of its existence. It's not possible. Teams go through losing seasons; as a fan it sucks, but it is what it is.
I was in seventh grade when Kansas won the 2008 Orange Bowl and was in eighth grade when Kansas last went to a bowl game (2009 Insight Bowl). As a fan, I understand the frustrations with reading all the negative things about the football team and Weis in the paper. As a sports journalist, I know you can't sugarcoat the truth.
Covering a team that is coming off several losing seasons in a row isn't worlds of fun. However, we as sports writers owe it to the team and the fans to accurately report news that relates to the team, even if it isn't pretty.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Matt Kemp reacts to striking out against the Colorado Rockies during the first inning of the Sept. 17 game in Denver. The Dodgers lost 16-2.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Clayton Kershaw and a few of his teammates gathered on the couch, eyes glued to the flat-screen TV. They were rooting on Arizona against rival San Francisco.
No such luck, though. The Giants won and the NL West race just got a lot tighter.
Nothing went right for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday.
Los Angeles now leads the Giants by two games in the division.
Justin Morneau tied a season high with six RBIs, including five as part of an eight-run first inning against spot starter Carlos Frias, and the Colorado Rockies routed the Dodgers 16-2.
Still, manager Don Mattingly is contemplating bringing Frias back for another turn in the rotation. He doesn't have many options if the sore left shoulder of Hyun-Jin Ryu isn't better by next week. Ryu will test it out later this week in Chicago.
"You only have 'X' amount of starters for that spot," Mattingly said. "You choose what's best for that spot and you move on."
The harder Frias seemed to throw, the harder the Rockies seemed to hit the baseball.
"It was a bad day." Frias said through a translator. "Can't really chalk it up to anything other than a bad day.
"All I can do is put it behind
me and look forward to the next outing."
Morneau hit a three-run homer and a two-run single in the opening frame as the Rockies chased Frias after just two outs. Morneau and Carlos Gonzalez are the only Rockies players to drive in five runs in an inning.
the Rockies took two of three from the Dodgers, who trailed 15-0 after six innings against the team with the worst record in the league.
"You play this game a long time you see some things you've never seen," Morneau said. "Obviously, having guys on base is important. You wouldn't expect us to come out against a guy like that who's got really good stuff. He was a guy we were ready for and we were able to get some hits."
Morneau had three hits and a sacrifice fly, raising his average to .320 and leaping over Pittsburgh's Josh Harrison for the NL batting lead.
The hard-throwing Frias didn't record a traditional out, either, in his 38-pitch appear-
Charlie Blackmon went 5 for 5 with a solo homer as
Jorge De La Rosa (14-11) gave up two hits in six scoreless innings to improve to 10-2 at home this season.

said. "Just one of those things." This hardly looked like the same Dodgers team that was coming off a big series win in San Francisco that included a 17-0 romp over the Giants. Los Angeles is chasing Washington for the best record in the NL.
ance. He got one when catcher Tim Federowicz threw out Corey Dickerson on a steal attempt and another when Wilin Rosario tried to score from third on a squeeze play.
"It's almost like everything you call gets hit," Federowicz said. "Just one of those things."
The Dodgers needed an eight-run sixth inning to get by the Rockies on Monday, and then stranded runner after runner Tuesday in a 10-4
loss.
Once the Rockies roughed up Frias, Mattingly steadily began taking out his position players as the Rockies set a season high for runs.
"I was just getting guys off their feet," Mattingly said.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Dodgers: SS Hanley Ramirez wasn't in the starting lineup for a second straight day due to a strained right elbow. Mattingly said he thinks Ramirez will be ready to play in Chicago.

Tallent, Norton reach US Senior Amateur final
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.
— Patrick Tallent and Bryan Norton each won two matches Wednesday in the U.S. Senior Amateur to advance to the final at Big Canyon.
The 61-year-old Tallent, from Vienna, Virginia, beat Michael Turner of Sherman Oaks, California, 6 and 5 in the quarterfinals and topped Rick Cloninger of Fort Mill, South Carolina, 3 and 1 in the semifinals.
Tallent survived a 15-for-13 playoff Monday to advance to match play in the event for players 55 and older. He played basketball at George Washington and was drafted by the Washington Bullets in 1976.
Norton, a 55-year-old reinstated amateur from Overland Park, Kansas, beat Peter Wegmann of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 2 and 1 in the quarterfinals and edged Randal Lewis of Alma, Michigan, 2 and 1 in the semifinals.
Associated Press
Norton was the runner-up in the 2003 USGA Mid-Amateur Championship after having to concede because of a calf injury. The former Oral Roberts player won the Kansas Amateur in 1980, 2002 and 2014. In the other quarterfinals, Cloninger beat Frank Dial of Auburn, Alabama, 3 and 2, and Lewis topped Jack Hall of Savannah, Georgia, 2 and 1.

Lawrence Public Library launches trading card project for Banned Books Week
The Lawrence Public Library is giving out different Banned Books trading cards each day this week. Each card features artwork from local artists and depicts literatures that either have been banned or have faced possible censorship.
The titles of this year's trading cards are:
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey
"Lord of the Flies" by William Golding
"Little Red Riding Hood" by Charles Perrault
"Maus" by Art Spiegelman
Maus by AR Spiegelman "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
"Harriet the Spy" by Louise Fitzhugh
"The Old Man and the Sea"
by Ernest Hemingway
The Banned Books Trading Cards project, now in its third year, coincides with Banned Books Week, a national campaign that celebrates the freedom to read.
"I think a lot of times we fail to realize how many things are censored in our world."
said Jeni Daley, marketing coordinator for the library. "But we also can fail to realize the freedoms we have."
Daley said she thought it was amazing that Americans have the right to get mad and speak out against censorship.

Library Director Brad Allen agreed.
"There is a high level of control of the dissemination of information in a massive amount of the world," Allen said. "And it's important to just remind yourself that these are

Since the project began three years ago, the cards themselves have become a popular
collector's item. The library has shipped previous years' card sets to all 50 states and most English-speaking countries. Allen said they have shipped the cards as far as Australia. The library will begin selling this year's card sets after the Banned Books Week for a small price.
Allen said they never thought of monetizing the project when the cards were first released in 2012. However, the cards' unexpected levels of popularity soon required the
library staff to think on its feet to develop shipping strategies and a licensing agreement for the local artists who had designed the cards.
Any Douglas County resident could submit the designs for cards; one of this year's winning cards was designed by a local middle school student. Allen said the local restriction helps showcase the artistic talents that Lawrence has to

Secretary of State candidate discusses voting
ALLISON KITE
@Allie_Kite
Jean Schodorf, Democratic candidate for Kansas secretary of state, stopped by the University of Kansas Young Democrats meeting last Thursday to talk about student's involvement in the upcoming election season.
Student voting is an important issue to Schodorf in this election, and she said she's touring universities throughout Kansas to promote it. Her speech encouraged students to take an active part in their communities and become "lifelong voters." She also encouraged students to vote on every issue, not just national elections.
Studies have shown historically low turnout among voters age 18 to 24, and Schodorf said she has talked to many students who felt like their voice didn't matter.
"I'm talking about not just a fall election," Schodorf said. "A spring election, a school bond issue, a sales tax question."
"Students have said that they just didn't feel like voting made a difference, that it didn't affect them," she said.
Brittany Bodenheimer, a sophomore from Topeka and president of KU Young Democrats, said she believed that Schodorf's speech did a good job of demonstrating how and why students should be engaged in the election.
However, Schodorf said she believes students' choices directly affect them because their representative will make decisions concerning higher education funding.
Schodorf's stop at the University was part of her "Lifelong Voting" tour, where she has stopped at Kansas universities including Pittsburg State, Wichita State, Fort Hays State, Kansas State, Washburn and Johnson County Community College.
"Their vote does matter, and they can actually make a very big difference if they just get involved" Bodenheimer said.
Edited by Drew Parks
Civically engaged students have been working to get other students registered to vote. The Student Legislative Awareness Board has collected the number of forms completed since the start of the semester.

Members of Chancellor's sexual assault panel address questions
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHartford
Questions from students, faculty and attendees were addressed at the sexual assault panel hosted by Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little on Thursday evening.
The panel consisted of Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little; Provost Jeff Vitter; Jane McQueeny, executive director of Office of Institutional
Opportunity and Access; Tammara Durham, vice provost for student affairs; Ralph Oliver, the University police chief; and Nathan Thomas, the vice provost for diversity and equity.
Many questions focused on the policies and procedures concerning sexual assault cases, which are handled by the IOA and the Office of Student Affairs. McQueeny and Durham reiterated that
the University does not use criminal procedures, but instead works to ensure that both parties are guaranteed equal educational opportunity.

"I think we definitely recognize that consent is critical to all of the dialogue we are having." McQueeny said. "Let's make it so our

One audience member asked that the University explicitly include that a victim's past sexual history and state of dress not be used against them.
"I can assure you that when we made our decision dress, birth control — those were not determinants in whether we found a violation or not," McQueeny said.
Sexual assault cases involving alcohol and incapacitation were discussed, as well. McQueeny said the investigations make the distinction between intoxication and incapacitation, which is when a student is not coherent enough to consent.

"Incapacity renders you unable to give consent because you can't make decisions voluntarily and knowingly," McQueen said. "The KU sexual harassment policies
Oliver said student safety was the main priority and the University's amnesty policy ensures that victims won't be punished.
"Our main concern is the health and safety of the individual, to deal with the incident in front of us and to try to neutralize any suspect out there," Oliver said.
"Underage statutes take a back seat to the more violent crime of sexual assault."
Many audience members asked for more comprehensive sexual assault training and more resources for the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity to further educate students.
The Chancellor asked for recommendations on how the University can better its policies and create an environment where sexual assault is not tolerated. The
recommendations will be discussed by the recently formed task force, which should meet sometime in the upcoming month.
"I'm interested in creating the kind of setting in which we prevent [sexual assault] and we enhance the sense of respect and I'm very much committed to that," Gray-Little said.

"There are professors of design at KU that have won, local artists that do design work on a national scale," Allen said. "It's great to just show this range of creativity and expose people to local art at the same time."
One of the chosen designs was by senior Katie Whiteman from Bettendorf, Iowa. Her work was inspired by "One Flew
Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
Over the Sickness鼻 "I didn't really know what kind of competition I was up against, but I had gotten good feedback from my professors," Whiteman said. "It was really rewarding to know that it wasn't just my teachers that thought the design made sense."

Whiteman used an illustration of pills in reference of the book's setting in a psychiatric hospital. Other selected designs included digital sculptures, drawings and a scratchboard.

Donors will not cover section U financial losses
AARON GROENE
@watchthegroan
The student section will be more crowded than usual in future basketball seasons due to Kansas Athletics moving 123 student seats into fewer sections in Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas Athletics removed section U from the student section and sold it to donors to make up for lost revenue when Student Senate reduced the student athletic fee from $25 to $7.
The seats Athletic Director Jim Marchiony deems "very desirable for donors" won't completely recoup revenue lost after the student athletic fee reduction. He says Athletics will lose $340,000 annually due to the cut in the fee and will only make about $179,200 back by selling the seats.
Students will still get into any game as long as they have a ticket, according to Associate Marchiony. They will just have to take a back seat to donors, literally.
"It messes with the atmosphere not being right on top of the bench like that."
AARON ABEITA Junior from Hiawatha
To ensure there are enough seats for students, there will be less single-game general admission tickets sold for sections 19-21, which is where the student section and the general admission mix.
Some students were upset with Athletics' decision to take the section, including junior Aaron Abeita from Hiawatha. Abeita said he believes all of Allen Fieldhouse will suffer.
"I think it's messed up," Abeita said. "It messes with the atmosphere not being right on top of the bench like that."
Abeita's brother, senior Nathaniel Abeita, disagrees. He doesn't see a problem with Athletics' decision.
"It's definitely a payback thing, but I think it's justified," he said. "That's Athletics flexing their muscle. If you are going to play with the big boys, that's what is going to happen. Yeah, it sucks, but if you play with fire, you're going to get burned."

GOP's Roberts heads to swing-voting east Kansas
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE - Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas took his conservative e-election message into the state's swing-voting east Saturday in his latest effort chip away any advantage from independent candidate Greg Orman in a U.S. Senate race that has unexpectedly become one of the most hotly contested in the nation.
Roberts strolled the grassy hill to the south of Memorial Stadium before the University of Kansas football game, popping in and out of pregame party tents and chatting with voters in the Democratic-leaning city.
His message was distinctly partisan. With less than six weeks to go and facing a political newcomer who has tried to
cast himself as non-partisan, Roberts stuck to his argument that the election is a referendum on President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Senate.
"That really is the issue: whether (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid continues to be a one-man rules committee in the Senate," Roberts told The Associated Press. "They also know Orman is a liberal Democrat and a vote for Harry Reid. That really is the issue."
Republicans need a net gain of six seats to take the Senate majority from Democrats, and Kansas is one of about a dozen races nationally that could determine the outcome.
Until just this month, Roberts, a 78-year-old conservative from GOP-heavy western Kansas, was not viewed
as vulnerable. Republicans have held every Senate seat in Kansas since 1938. But Democratic nominee Chad Taylor, under pressure from national Democrats, announced Sept. 3 that he would drop out of the race. The move was viewed as an effort to improve the odds of Orman, a 45-year-old wealthy businessman from the populous Kansas City suburbs, beating Roberts.
Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican and strong Roberts supporter, had refused to remove Taylor's name from the ballot, saying the Democrat's didn't comply with a law limiting withdrawals. But the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that he did.
Kobach said Friday that he would begin sending out overseas ballots without a Democrat listed, effectively making the contest a two-person race, though Kobach said he's not abandoning efforts to get Democrats to name a replacement. Another candidate, libertarian Randall Batson, is also running.
"Senator Roberts' increasingly desperate campaign is turning to the only playbook his new handlers from Washington, DC know."
SAM EDELEN Greg Orman's press secretary
Recent opinion polls have suggested Roberts may be vulnerable in a head-to-head race
Roberts, wearing a U.S. Marines cap and striped oxford shirt, found some supporters among the Jayhawks fans Saturday.
with Orman.
Paul Bahnmaier, a longtime supporter, recalled how Roberts keep open the Post Office in Lecompton, just west of Lawrence.
Nearby, Jim Setter of Overland Park, described himself as a Republican more than a Roberts supporter. "I don't care who it is. Whether it's him or someone else, it's about the majority," Setter said.
Orman ran for Senate in 2008 as a Democrat but dropped out of the primary. He has also made financial contributions to President Obama and others. He had also been a registered Republican and made
contributions to GOP candidates.
"Senator Roberts' increasingly desperate campaign is turning to the only playbook his new handlers from Washington, DC know: throw out a lot of baseless negative attacks, and continue to try to divide people along partisan lines. Kansans of all parties are fed up with the broken system in Washington. They want an independent voice in the Senate, and that's why every day more and more Republicans, Democrats and Independents are supporting Greg Orman for Senate."
Orman's press secretary, Sam Edelen, said in a statement Saturday night that Roberts was reverting to "baseless negative attacks" while trying to "divide people along partisan lines."

KU does double-sided printing but still charges you for 2 sheets ... Smh everyone print single sided, you get your money worth.
We need benches in front of Snow.
ROCK CHALK WOMEN'S SOCCER!
You girls are my heroes.
Just overheard a guy on campus say that girls are too dumb to think for themselves and that's why they get raped. You sir are the reason KU is unsafe.
Can we get a difficulty level on the sudoku? At the very least just tell me that they are "hard" for a confidence boost.
We're finally getting plants on Jayhawk Boulevard! :)
Does ANYONE else on campus play Magic; the Gathering? I expected it to be a lot more popular among college students.

Dear campus Wi-Fi: it's tearing up my heart when I'm with you, but when we are apart I feel it too. No matter what I do I feel the pain with or without you!
Just saw a girl wearing a Full House style scrunchie. Is that a thing again?
I try so hard to be a good student but then professors don't post the homework so fine I won't do it.

I feel the most like #ONETEAM when the football players come over to the student section and sing the alma mater with us at the end of the game. ROCK CHALK!
Like a bandaid on a gun shot wound? No, rape prevention products are like wearing a bullet proof vest every time you go outside on the off chance you get shot.
KU should create an app that shows where your bus is at in real time ... Could save some lives.
Frankamp just sat down next to me. Is it acceptable to give him a high five? I keep replaying "the shot" over and in my head.
Sexual assault awareness falling on deaf ears
W when I saw the protesters outside Strong
protesters outside Strong Hall last Tuesday, I was excited to see engaged students who were standing up for what they believed in. I thought that by now enough information and attention had been brought to the issue of sexual assault
— that most would be informed about what was going on and understand why it was a problem. Apparently, that is not
Apparently, that is not the case.
Throughout the day, several people walking along Jayhawk Boulevard chimed in about the protests over a popular social media app called "Yik Yak," an anonymous KU chat room that requires a location within five miles to post.
What they had to say
"I'm protesting the protest on sexual assault by raping one person every hour on the hour," said one post. Another said, "I hate these blurred lines they make it harder to rape."
was sickening.
Other statements showed a clear lack of understanding about what rape is.
"Why are girls complaining about being raped?? I would love to get raped!" one person stated.
Another user said, "I got raped and it was awesome!"
Rape is non-consensual, meaning that by definition it is a physical action you do not want done to you. It is a terrifying, traumatizing moment of violence in a person's life
- not a sexual fantasy.

@Anna_Wenner
or agreed with these comments, I encourage you to really think about what you're saying. You're saying that you would enjoy having someone put you in a completely powerless position and force themselves on you. You're saying that if someone took away all of your agency whenever they felt like it and used your body as a thing to be controlled that you would enjoy it. If you still think that's true, I assure you, you're the only one.
Although all of the
posts were horrible, the ones that bothered me most were the ones aimed directly at the protesters. "Sounds like someone needs a good raping ;)" one said, while another said, "Double points if you rape a feminist."
These perhaps show what is so wrong with the rape culture we live in. If people stand up for what they believe in, or show bravery by sitting with a sign on Jayhawk Boulevard, the response is to threaten them with violence to silence their voice. And in case you're unclear, yes, both of those statements are indirectly threatening the protesters. Both of those statements are wrong in so many ways, I can't possibly go into all of them here.
Every time I read these Yik Yak posts they make
me physically nauseated. They show flippant attitudes toward a very serious subject, and they do so in extremely offensive ways. More than anything else that has come up so far in the past few weeks, these posts show me just how far our campus has to go before we really understand what rape is and take it seriously.

NFL, fans cannot turn blind eye to abuse charges
The past few weeks in sports have been trying ones. The National Football League came out the clear loser with several of its players being accused of domestic and child abuse. The nightmare began when an elevator video emerged of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice knocking his then-fiancee unconscious in an elevator.
The bad PR continued when Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson turned himself in on charges of child abuse. Last October Peterson's 2-year-old son passed away due to injuries from abuse by the mother's boyfriend, Joseph Robert Pattinson, which makes Peterson's actions even more inexplicable. The Carolina Panthers' Greg Hardy is under fire as well for "assaulting his former girlfriend and threatening to kill her," according to the Charlotte Observer. More cases of domestic abuse seem to be flooding out as Ray McDonald of the San Francisco 49ers is accused of hitting his pregnant fiancée and Arizona Cardinals player Jonathan Dwyer was arrested after reportedly headbutting his girlfriend and breaking her nose, according to ABC News.

The NFL seems to be sending the message that appropriate punishment will only occur when
Screenshot courtesy of Allison Crist
there is physical evidence. But what are the fans supposed to think? Rice was originally given a meager two-game suspension before the infamous video was made available to the public, but now the NFL has banned him indefinitely. McDonald is still able to play on the field until more evidence arises in his case, and Hardy has been removed from the roster. In another belated move, Peterson has been banned from all team activities.
Hannah Storm, an ESPN anchor, delivered a monologue on-air explaining her two daughters' responses to the Rice incident. Storm's daughters asked questions that many people are asking: Why did he do this? Why isn't he in jail?
It's possible the NFL can take a hit for banning Rice, whom some call the best running back in football, but sometimes we need to put the wellbeing of society over the well-being of a sport. Talent is not an excuse for misbehavior or a renewable "Get Out of Jail Free" card. Talent is something that deserves to be applauded when it's used correctly and should be disregarded when judging a person's role in culpability for any and all crimes.
I believe that in the United States — and throughout the rest of the world — talent is seen as an excuse. Along with fans asking "why?" others are asking "why not?"
Though the NFL should be criticized for its inaction, the origin of its "forgive and forget" mentality isn't hard to pinpoint. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the rest of the league's administration were raised on the same mentality we still raise our kids with today: Sports are supreme.
Sports appeal to all of us and this appeal sometimes comes at the cost of our ability to discern right from wrong. We make athletes believe in this world where rules seldom apply, and we enforce it by refusing to punish them when they've broken those rules. I believe this is the root of our problem and is something we should all keep in mind.

Scotland should have chosen independence
Scotland has officially voted on preserving the blue and white background of the Union Jack.
In the weeks leading up to Thursday's Scottish independence referendum, I wondered what factors mattered the most to the Scots. The "No" campaign seemed to care most about economic consequences of the divorce, while the "Yes" campaign seemed more focused on cultural and political identity. Although these generalizations do injustice to the many factors that were important for this landmark vote, I think they can be used to ask some questions about the purpose of nations and independence in modern times.
Last week when I was reading about the possible divorce, it seemed that major arguments from the "No" campaign were only weak emotional appeals to a past friendship. Slogans such as "Better Together" appeared, along with arguments on the importance of its economic partnership. It's as if they were trying to hold on to a friendship it knew hadn't been maintained very well.
The "Yes" campaign, on the other hand, seemed to have had a more upbeat program, drawing on the cultural excitement of possible independence from the older-brother figure of England — sort of like, "Yes, We Can."
What was most fascinating was how neck- and-neck the polls were throughout the campaign, though the final tally was 55 percent voting no.
Since the polls depicted a close tie, I wondered whether the half of Scotland that voted no were truly happy with belonging to the U.K., or whether they were solely interested in the economic security that came along with their partnership.

@ThingsSebiThink
If the majority of Scotland voted no for
I try to understand, from the perspective of a welloff university student in the U.S., how important the economy may be for people's well-being.I try to justify voting based on economic considerations, putting myself in the position of someone who may lose a job or other such opportunities if the divorce ended up happening. Nevertheless, at the level we are talking about, independence should have been much more than an economic matter.
the sake of economic prosperity, does that make cultural independence (for example, creating a legal system based on your culture's values) less important than economic factors when deciding on independence?
Scotland would have definitely been able to survive on its own economically, making it able to consider independence without having to worry about economic dependence. What's more important for a large group of people with the same values is that they should have been able to decide for themselves how they ought to operate their society. Independence is a question of cultural self-determination; economic factors should have been secondary.

Watson Library celebrates 90 years
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UKD
FUN FACTS:
Over the past 90 years, Watson Library has served thousands of students for a variety of reasons, ranging from studying to hosting galleries. Watson has had several renovations and events take place since it opened in 1924. Provided below is a timeline featuring some of Watson's history, as well as fun facts about the iconic building.
All information was found in the Watson Library Artificial & News Releases University Archives.
The big difference between Watson and Anschutz is that Anschutz was built with raised flooring, so you can do wiring under the floor, unlike Watson.
The info below was provided by Kent Miller, the associate dean of Watson Library, and Rebecca Smith, the executive director of communications with Watson.
Another big difference is that Watson has fixed stack towers, and they're very inflexible. They're good for books, and that's it
Watson received an "A" grade for energy efficiency.
Smith said among 39 core buildings on campus, Watson has the second highest energy grade.
Miller's short film "Murder in the Stacks" was made in the library.
Watson has worked closely with KU IT to work on saving power and energy. Experiments will occur this winter to see if motion sensing lights work to save on energy consumption. Most energy costs come from lighting the library every day.
The additions of 1950 was the first major construction job to be launched at the state institutions since the end of the World War II.

"Alumni have lots of positive memories of studying here in Watson," Smith said.
1824: Construction on the original Watson building was completed in the summer at a cost of $310,000
The Watson Library Rededication ceremony featured a Carrie Watson look-alike contest.
A short film "Lord of the Libraries" was partially filmed at Watson.
1947-1950.Additions to the southwest section were approved and began in 1947 and completed in 1950, at a cost of $390,000
1941 Additions were made to the west end

Comic Book Club is a space for conversation
CODY SCHMITZ
@cody_schmitz
Conversations push past Marvel vs. DC debates in the new KU Comic Book Club. The club instead aims to gather students together who share an interest in the growing enterprise inspired by comics.
Jarred Morris, a junior from St. Paul, Minn., is the club's founder and president. Morris started the club in the fall of 2013.
.
"It's a space for people who like comic books to collaborate and talk about comics," Morris said. "With movies, comic books have become more mainstream, but when I was younger, if you were a reader of comics you really didn't explain that to people."
Seeing the need for a club where that kind of conversation was encouraged, Morris founded the group.
"I met people who were interested in comics before I formed the group, so I had a foundation," Morris said.
Morris said he was interested in comics from a young age.
"I'm artistic and I've always been big on books, literature and fantasy, so comics combined all of the elements that I liked," he said. "Once I picked up the first one, I was hooked."
Morris said his favorite comic is the Savage Dragon series. He said he likes the series for its stories as well as the art, and because it's an independent title.
The group meets to discuss everything from updates in series and storylines to the story arcs and motives of specific characters. The
group is currently reading "Dream Thief" by Jai Nitz, a lecturer in the Department of Film and Media Studies. Nitz teaches a course on comic books and film, and has written for both Marvel and DC, among other publishers.
Morris said aside from reading and discussing comics, the club has also gone to see movies together. He said since the club is new, they are getting more into expanding it.
"Even if you don't have an extensive knowledge of comic books, the club is open to anyone interested in comics or the culture," Morris said.
The club currently has 11 members. There are no requirements or previous comic knowledge necessary to join.
Most members have an af.
finity for the medium, however.
Noor Mozaffar, a sophomore from Overland Park and vice president of the KU Comic Book Club, said she first became interested in comics around age 8.
"I've always loved art," Mozaffar said. "My older brother used to collect comic books, so I would steal his to look at the pictures and read them."
ite character is Iron Man. Bowman said even before the recent film trilogy, he loved Iron Man's armor and intelligence. His favorite comic book issue is Tales of Suspense #39 in which the character of Iron Man is first introduced.
"Batman has a lot of interesting villains and usually interesting stories." Mozaffar said. "With the Teen Titan series you get a lot of different characters — a little bit of Superman, a little Batman and more."
Her favorite comic book series are "Batman" and "Teen Titans."
Broc Bowman, a junior from Olathe and member of the club, said his favor-
Regardless of personal preferences, club members agree that comics are an interest everyone should pick up.
"I want to to leave a legacy with the club," he said.
"It's something you can do your whole life," Morris said. Morris wants to make the club well established before he leaves so he can pass it on to the next group.
The club meets each Friday at 2 p.m. in Anschutz Library, room 428.

Obama: College campus sexual assault an affront to humanity
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Amid a new focus on violence against women, President Barack Obama kicked off a star-powered campaign Friday against campus sexual assault particularly targeted at encouraging men to take a stand.
With an estimated 1 in 5 college women experiencing an attack, Obama decried "the quiet tolerance of sexual assault" and called it "an afront to our basic humanity." Research has shown most victims know their attackers, alcohol or drugs are often involved and only 12 percent of college women report the attack to police.
Jon Hamm of "Mad Men," Kerry Washington of "Scandal" and NBA all-star Kevin Love are some of the familiar faces appearing in a public service announcement along with the president. The "It's On Us" campaign encourages everyone to consider stopping sexual assault their personal responsibility and to intervene when they suspect a woman can't or won't consent.
The Obama administration has been raising awareness
President Barack Obama, with Vice President Joe Biden, left, outlines the "It's On Us" campaign at the White House in Washington on Friday.
of the problem this year, ahead of a midterm election in which Democrats are counting on a strong turnout by female voters. In January, Obama launched the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault that recommended action campuses could take to protect victims. The U.S. Department of Education for the first time publicly exposed the list of colleges under federal investigation for their handling of sexual assault complaints.
The latest effort has a particular focus on reaching men on campus.
"You don't want to be the guy who stops a friend from taking a woman home," Obama said, while arguing it is men's responsibility to do so.
Vice President Joe Biden was even more blunt in his message to men. "Step up!" he said. "Be responsible. Intervene. You have an obligation to make a pariah of those on campus who abuse another person."
Violence against women has taken on a new prominence recently amid controversy over the NFL's handling of domestic assault involving its players. Obama said society,
including sports leagues, too often sends the message that women aren't valued. And with recent sexual assault scandals of their own, the nation's military academies are among the collegiate partners in the campaign, Obama said. The campaign is supported by partners who plan to help spread the message, including the NCAA, several collegiate athletic conferences and media companies with reach among students.
visitors to the Itsonus.org website are asked to turn their social media profile pictures
into the campaign logo badge. They are asked to use their name, email address and zip code to pledge "not to be a bystander to the problem but to be a part of the solution." The information is collected by Generation Progress, the youth arm of the liberal Center for American Progress advocacy organization with close ties to the White House. Other celebrities appearing in the PSA are actresses Connie Britton, Rose Byrne and Mayim Bialik, comedian Joel McHale and musicians Randy Jackson and Questlove.
Picasso among pieces of collection going on public display in Ohio
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio When retail mogul Leslie Wexner peers at one of the Picassos, Dubuffets or Giacomettis in the personal art collection he and his wife Abigail have amassed over the years, he feels a range of emotions that often include gratitude, defeat and exhilaration.
"I find it inspiring in a way — that tangible creativity you find in painting or performance," says the philanthropist and chairman of L Brands, the company behind Victoria's Secret, Limited and Henri Bendel.
Art lovers will get an opportunity to experience their own emotional responses to the Wexners' rarely seen collection beginning Sunday, when 60 of their paintings and sculptures spanning the 19th through 21st centuries go on public display. "Transfigurations" runs through Dec. 31 at the Wexner Center for the Arts, on the campus of Ohio State University.
The exhibit marks the
25th anniversary of the center, named for Wexner's father, and is curated by Robert Storr, a former senior curator at New York's Museum of Modern Art who is now dean of the Yale University School of Art. After acquiring works of mid-20th century New York abstract expressionists, particularly Franz Kline, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning, Wexner gravitated toward the many periods of Pablo Picasso, the cubist and surrealist sculptor Alberto Giacometti and the often childlike abstractions of Jean Dubuffet. A dancer of Edgar Degas and several Susan Rothenbergs are also among works on display.
"It was never intended to be a collection," Abigail Wexner says. "Emotional appeal or admiration for the quality of the picture was what we responded to the most." Her husband adds, "It began with, 'I like this drawing.'"
into their own exhibits, says Inge Reist, director of the Frick Collection's Center for the History of Collecting in New York.
The collections of the Clark Brothers and literary pioneer Gertrude Stein were shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2006 and 2012, respectively. The Meyerhoff Collection was displayed at the National Gallery in Washington in 2009. Philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad and the family of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have built new art museums in Los Angeles and Bentonville, Ark., respectively, to house their collections. Picasso expert Elizabeth Cowling says the Wexners' collection will give spectators and scholars a rare opportunity to view many important pieces that haven't been seen publicly in decades, if ever.
With the show, the Wexner Family Collection joins a recent trend from New York to Los Angeles of turning private collections
"It's very exciting to think that these pictures are coming out in the open," says Cowling, a professor emeritus at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. She cites Picasso's "Seated Nude Woman" of 1959 and his "Mother and Child on the Shore" of 1902, as examples. Among other rarities on display is "Nude in a Black Armchair", which Picasso painted in 1932. His granddaughter, art historian Diana Widmaier Picasso, says it's one of her personal favorites, depicting her grandmother Marie-Thérèse Walter.

Toni Dovale shines against Deportivo Saprissa

GEORGE MULLEN/AFRICA SPORTING KC forward Toni Dovale goes after the ball against a Deportivo Saprissa player during Thursday's game at Sporting Park. Sporting KC won 3-1.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
When Spanish forward Toni Dovale first arrived in America to play with Sporting Kansas City in March, he was never deemed ready to stay on the pitch for a 90-minute match.
"For [Dovale] it's not the soccer, it's the speed of the play, the physicality of the game. Saprissa is a very athletic team, so this was very much like an MLS team."
PETER VERMES Sporting KC coach
"There was a game early on. ... I had to take him out because the game got really fast," coach Peter Vermes said in a press conference following Thursday's game. "He just wasn't ready for it."
When he finally played a full 90 minutes on Thursday night in Sporting KC's 3-1 win against Costa Rica's Deportivo Saprissa, he was more than ready. He notched his second and third goals in CONCACAF Champions League play as Sporting KC took control of group 2 with a home win, which increases its point total to four in two games.
"For him it's not the soccer; it's the speed of the play, the physicality of of the game," Vermes said. "Saprissa is a very athletic team, so this was very much like an MLS team."
The Champions League is a major tournament that
brings together the best teams from North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The winner will qualify as the CONCACAF representative for the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup. If the team does come out of group play, it'll be the second consecutive appearance in the tournament round of the Champions League for Sporting KC.
"The team did a really good job, one of the best 90 minutes we have had in the last few weeks," Dovale said in an interview after the game. "I think we are going up again. After some tough games, I think we are going in the right way."
Sporting KC struggled throughout the first half, missing a number of goal opportunities and failing to find any real space in the middle of the field against a tight Saprissa defense. The team still controlled the first half, going to the break at 1-1 after a penalty kick from Dom Dwyer — his 20th goal across all matches and his first Champions League goal. Though Saprissa's Juan Bustos did come up with a goal in the first half, the Costa Rican team never threatened in the second half.
In the 69th minute, Sporting KC defender Igor Juliao floated a pass from the attacking right side of the box into the penalty area. The next time the ball hit the ground, it was past Saprissa keeper Dany Alvarez and into back of the net on a volley from Dovale to give Sporting KC a 2-1 lead.
Seven minutes later, Dwyer drove into the penalty box,
touched the ball with just enough juice to to get it to an unguarded Dovale, who sent it screaming into the top of the net. The goal placed Dovale at third in the league in three goals, tied with eight others.
The game also proved to the coaches that Dovale was finally physically ready.
because I can see the results."
"I've been working very hard with the fitness coach for the last three to four months," Dovale said. "I'm happy
The victory in front of 16,834 supporters moved Sporting KC further from its four-match slump and into better form for what looks to be another run in the MLS playoffs. A
win in Tuesday's match against Nicaragua's Real Esteli will put Sporting KC in good shape to come out of its group and into elimination play for 2015.

The Royals' dominant relieving trio of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland held the Tigers scoreless after Guthrie exited.
Guthrie (12-11) pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the second and was pulled after 81 pitches and 5 1-3 innings, yielding one earned run.
Porcello (15-12) is 0-4 in his past five starts. He yielded four runs on nine hits and two walks in 31-3 innings.
Davis struck out two, bringing

Alex Smith leads Chiefs past Dolphins 34-15
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. The first victory of the season provided some relief for the injury-ravaged Kansas City Chiefs.
Smith led touchdown drives of 62,76 and 66 yards in a span of four possessions as Kansas City took leads of 14-0 and 21-10. The defense protected the early lead, allowing only four third down conversions and sacking Ryan Tannehill four times.
Alex Smith shook off five sacks to throw three touchdown passes and help the Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins 34-15 on Sunday.
The Chiefs improved to 1-2 and won for only the third time in their past 11 games, including postseason. The Dolphins fell to 1-2, another wobbly start for a team that hasn't won a postseason game since 2000.
Smith, who ranked 35th and last in the NFL in passing after
The Chiefs were without seven starters, including running back Jamaal Charles, who was inactive because of a high ankle sprain. Knile Davis, subbing for Charles, rushed for a career-high 132 yards on 32 carries, and he scored on a 21-vard run.
two weeks, went 19 for 25 for 186 yards, with three of his incompletes dropped. He threw scoring passes of 11 and 4 yards to Joe McKnight, and 20 yards to Travis Kelce.
The teams appeared evenly matched at the outset. The Dolphins were penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct when an official ran into a coach along the sideline. Two plays later, Kansas City lost 15 yards on a botched exchange on a double reverse.
Kansas City totaled 23 first downs despite shaky pass protection. One sack of Smith resulted in a safety, and another by Jared Odrick forced a fumble that set up Miami's only touchdown.
They wrapped up the victory with a 44-yard touchdown drive following a 47-yard punt return by Frankie Hammond Jr. Smith hit McKnight for the score to make it 27-15 with 4:35 left.
The Chiefs' early highlights were a pair of 64-yard punts by Dustin Colquitt. But the offense got rolling midway through the second quarter, mounting a 62-yard drive capped by Davis' 21-yard touchdown run.
The Chiefs drove 76 yards for another touchdown on their next series to lead 14-0.

FOOTBALL FILM REVIEW
BLAIR SHEADE
@RealBlairSheady
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: JIMMAY MUNDINE
The senior tight end didn't score a touchdown, and didn't have a long reception. But two of his six catches came on third down, which helped the Jayhawks convert two touchdowns after both of those third-down conversions. Mundine finished the game with a team-high 67 yards receiving.
Central Michigan's wide receiver only had three catches for 54 yards. Kroll made three tough catches, and one was a long 29-yard reception, which Kroll fought with senior cornerback JaCorey Shepherd for the ball. Kroll was the only Central Michigan threat the entire game.
A closer look at Saturday's Kansas-Central Michigan matchup
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: JAKE LOVE
Junior linebacker Jake Love didn't have a great week against Duke, but rebounded against Central Michigan. Weis said after the game that Love was the only player he called out because of how well he played. In the fourth quarter, Love sacked Central Michigan quarterback Cooper Rush and made four tackles for a loss of yards.
PLAYER KANSAS STRUGGLED TO CONTAIN: JESSE KROLL
Collectively, the offense had an efficient game. Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart threw one interception that wasn't his fault — Tony Pierson fumbled a pass, which was caught before it hit the ground. Beside that one interception, the Jayhawks didn't turn the ball over, and they scored on three big plays over 30 yards a piece. The most impressive stat was the nine third-down conversions.
OFFENSE SUMMARY
DEFENSE SUMMARY
This game was the best performance by the Kansas defense all season. After giving up 515 yards to Duke, the Jayhawks held Central Michigan to 279 total yards and 101 yards rushing. The Jayhawks only gave up one touchdown and ten total points, while sacking the quarterback three times compared to zero sacks last weekend against Duke. The Jayhawks forced three turnovers on two forced fumbles by senior linebacker Ben Heeney and sophomore Ben Goodman and an interception by JaCorey Shepherd.
SPECIAL TEAMS SUMMARY
The kicking game had its ups and downs against Central Michigan. Field goal kicker Matt Wyman hit one of two field goals — the first field goal was a 27-yarder, and the second was missed from 35 yards. Senior punter Trevor Pardula had a shaky game, as well. Pardula punted six times for an average of 41 yards. Although two of Pardula's punts went inside Central Michigan's 20 yard line, the other four punts were shanked to give the Chippewas the ball at midfield.
PLAY OF THE GAME
On the very first play of the game, senior receiver Tony Pierson took the handoff from Cozart and went 74 yards for a touchdown. Pierson beat the Michigan linebackers to the edge, and Pierson sped past the rest of the Chippewa defense.
QUARTER SUMMARIES
First Quarter - After the Pierson touchdown, the Jayhawks and the Chippewas didn't score. The Kansas defense forced Central Michigan to two three-and-outs, and a Ben Goodman stripsack gave the Jayhawks their first turnover of the game.
Second Quarter - Cozart and
the offense couldn't get anything going, and Cozart threw an interception inside the Central Michigan red zone. Following the interception, Central Michigan was able to put three points on the board before halftime with a 37-yard field goal by Brian Eavey.
Third Quarter - Central Michigan's opening drive ended with a forced fumble by Ben Heeney, which was recovered by junior defensive lineman TJ Semke. The following Kansas possession, Matt Wyman put the Jayhawks up 10-3 with a 27-yard field goal. The Chippewas responded with a seven-play 75-yard drive that endowed with a 15-yard walker.
Fourth Quarter - Going into the fourth quarter, the Jayhawks and Chippewas were tied at 10. The first Kansas possession, Cozart found senior receiver Justin McCay for a 60-yard touchdown catch and run. The Kansas defense held Central Michigan to three three-and-outs in the fourth quarter, and the Jayhawks raised their lead to 24-10 after a 30-yard touchdown catch by freshman running back Corey Avery.
MOVING FORWARD
The Jayhawks were held to only seven points in the first half, which won't work next weekend against Texas. Kansas hasn't defeated the longhorns since 2008, and its losing streak will continue if the Jayhawks can't find a way to score early. The Kansas defense showed that it's able to hang in games, but will have a tougher matchup next weekend.

Cowboys erase 21-point deficit, beat Rams 34-31
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUISE — Dez Bryant had so much distance on the closest defender, it was pitch and catch. Blown coverage made it the easiest play the Dallas Cowboys made in a comeback that matched the biggest in franchise history.
"No one ever comes that wide open," quarterback Tony Romo said of the 68-yard touchdown pass that was among the big plays that helped the Cowboys erase a 21-0 deficit and stun the St. Louis Rams 34-31 on Sunday. "You want to make sure you don't do anything stupid."
The Cowboys (2-1) had
plenty of time to chip away, and no one panicked about the cushion they'd spotted the Rams.
"They played very,very hard. But they didn't play very smart."
JEFF FISHER Coach for St. Louis Rams
"We never blinked, I can honestly say that," Bryant said. Romo has 21 comeback victories in the fourth quarter or overtime, a franchise best.
"Tony went out there and did what Tony do." Bryant said. "He was poised and he knew what he wanted to do."
Terrance Williams scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter, and Bruce Carter returned an interception 25 yards for a TD on the next snap, capping the rally.
DeMarco Murray's 1-yard run late in the first half began the rally.
Dallas also rallied from a 21-point deficit in 1984 against New Orleans and 1999 against Washington, although both of those wins came in overtime.
It tied the second-largest lead
blown by the Rams (1-2), who slowed Murray but got burned everywhere else. Among other breakdowns was a flubbed snap by center Scott Wells, who didn't realize Austin Davis was in the shotgun, resulting in a lost fumble, and a dropped touchdown pass by Jared Cook that could have put the Rams up 28-21. They settled for a field goal.
"I feel like I let this game slip through my hands and it's my fault," Cook said.
St. Louis is 0-2 at home and was whipped 34-6 by Minnesota in the opener. Coach Jeff Fisher said Davis played well, but that Shaun Hill would be the starter after the upcoming bye week.
said. "They played very, very hard. But they didn't play very smart."
Murray had 100 yards on 24 carries and lost a fumble for the fourth straight game dating to last season, even after switching from carrying the ball on his left side to the right. Three of his 10 career 100-yard games are against the Rams and all leading to victories, with a franchise-record 253 yards in 2011 and 175 yards last season.
"So, we've got some work to do and some time to look at what we're doing." Fisher
Janoris Jenkins' 25-yard interception return, the fifth defensive touchdown in his three seasons, put the Rams up 21-0 with 6:06 to go in the first half.
Davis cut the Cowboys' lead to three points on a 4-yard pass to Austin Pettis with 2:36 to go, but Morris Claiborne's interception clinched it with
"We were able to execute under pressure or whatever you want to say, blah, blah, blah." Romo said. "We got it done."
Penalties and a turnover late in the first half helped the Cowboys close the gap.
Romo was 4 for 5 for 40 yards and scrambled 16 yards on third-and-13 on the go-ahead drive. His second-half play overshadowed a third costly INT of the year.
Murray's 1-yard run came a play after rookie Lamarcus Joyner's interference call in the end zone. Henry Melton recovered a fumble on Scott Wells' flubbed shotgun snap, and a roughing-the-passer call on Eugene Sims got Dallas closer for Dan Bailey's 29-yard field goal.

Tennis benefits from tough tournaments
SKYLAR ROLSTAD
@SkyRolSports
The Kansas tennis team will return to Lawrence from Norman, Okla., with few wins but plenty to build on.
Coach Todd Chapman found more positives from this tournament than last's week tournaments, but his goal for all of them was to identify what his team needs to work on.
"The most encouraging thing was that we were very competitive with a lot of good teams," Chapman said. "We had some good wins by different players. Some players from last weekend to this weekend have improved and gotten better."
"Some coaches look to have a soft schedule, pad the results, and let the girls get some confidence and things like that. In my opinion that's a false confidence because it's not against anyone good."
TODD CHAPMAN Kansas tennis coach
Sophomore Caroline Henderson recorded the first singles win of the tournament for the jayhawks, with a straight sets win in the Stoops Draw. The tournament was split into four different draws, and Kansas was represented by at least one player in each.
Freshman Alexis Czapinski and Melinda Johnson joined Henderson as the only players to win on the first day of the tournament, and Jasmine Almaguer, a sophomore, was given a bye to the next round in the Switzer Draw. Almaguer and Johnson won matches in consolation matches on the last day of the tournament. Rachel McNeely, another freshman, came back to win in three sets in the Stoops Consolation Draw.
Maria Belen Ludueña won the championship of her
singles division last weekend in Little Rock, Ark., but was not able to continue that success, with a loss in this weekend's first round to Oklahoma's Lily Miyazaki.
Kansas' small success was encouraging for Chapman, who has sent his young team to tournaments that require them to improve their game. Chapman rejected the suggestion that his players might get complacent after facing difficult competition.
Chapman pointed out that his team has worked well to stay in shape for matches, but has lacked the mental strength to win in close matches.
"Some coaches look to have a soft schedule, pad the results, and let the girls get some confidence and things like that," Chapman said. "In my opinion, that's a false confidence because it's not against anyone that's any
good."
"What we need to work on most was that we put ourselves in a lot of winning situations this weekend but our record in close matches wasn't very good," Chapman said. "We were in shape, but from a mental standpoint,
we have a hard time closing out matches when we're in a position to win."
The team has a lot to work on, but will be given plenty of time to practice before its next tournament, the ITA Regional tournament on Oct. 16. Some players will also have the chance to get healthy, with freshman Summer Collins yet to play for Kansas this season due to illness.
Chapman is looking forward to the break.
"We have played hard for two weeks," Chapman said. "We need to take three or four days to get healthy and then we can get to work on the things we need to practice. It gives us a good break to truly make some changes in their games."

@GJMelia
The Kansas women's soccer team defeated St. Mary's Gaels with a score of 4-0, in the final nonconference game of the season, bouncing back from their first loss of the season to Marquette on Thursday.
The layhawks were able to get goals from junior Courtney Dickerson, freshman Hannah Lukinac, sophomore Ashley Williams and junior Liana Salazar.
Although Kansas dominated the majority of the game, fifth year senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud made multiple keys to keep the Gaels at an arm's length away. The most vital came in the first with score tied at 0-0.
["Stroud] hasn't had that much to do in some games,
but when she needs to make a save, she's coming up really big," coach Mark Francis said. "Stroud has been very consistent this year, and she's very focused."
The Jayhawks struck first 30 minutes into the game, but tested St. Mary's goalkeeper Julia McDonald early. Dickerson's goal came off a cross inside the box, and she was able to lift the ball past an outstretched McDonald.
Lukinac was able to score her first collegiate goal late in the first half, coming from a corner kick. The ball was initially cleared, but then was sent back into the box where Lukinac placed it into the bottom left corner of the net.
Even with a two-goal lead at the half, Francis was not satisfied with his team's play.
"I didn't think our sense of
urgency was very good in the first half, we just looked like we were kind of going half-speed." Francis said. "We needed to be moving the ball a bit quicker, and our speed of play was just way too slow."
Francis' halftime speech visibly had an effect on the team, as Williams was able to slot in a third goal two minutes into the second half. It was Williams' fourth goal of the year. The game slowed down following the goal as the Jayhawks kept possession for the most of the second half.
"We just looked a lot sharper in the second half," Francis said. "I was really happy with our response."
The fourth goal came from Salazar, in the final minutes of the second half. She had a clear path to goal and was able to get away the Gael defense,

Seahawks defeat Broncos 26-20 in overtime
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Once Peyton Manning had completed a frantic fourth-quarter rally to force overtime, Russell Wilson could admit to being a little selfish.
"I can't wait for those moments, those big-time moments and have guys to continue to believe in what we do," Wilson said. "That was a great experience tonight."
Wilson wanted the spotlight himself一 to put together one final drive, keeping Manning sitting on the sideline as a spectator and making sure the Super Bowl rematch went in favor of the champions.
The Super Bowl rematch lived up to the billing of what everyone expected in February and never transpired. The 43-8 blowout by Seattle (2-1) was replaced this time by Denver (2-1) rallying from a 17-3 fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime by going 80 yards against the best defense in the NFL in the final minute of regulation.
Wilson kept Manning and the Denver Broncos from seeing the ball in overtime. He led Seattle on an 80-yard drive on the first possession of the extra session, capped by Marshawn Lynch's 6-yard touchdown run for a 26-20 victory over the Broncos on Sunday.
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch (24) pushes against Denver Broncos middle linebacker Nate Irving (56) and other players during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday in Seattle. The Seahawks won 26-20 in overtime.
And then Wilson upstaged Manning. After nearly getting sacked for a safety and throwing an interception in the fourth quarter, Wilson was brilliant in overtime rushing
for 21 yards and completing four of six passes.
Lynch went the final 6 yards for the win.
"I don't think anyone ever doubts Russell. He's just too good," Seattle tight end Zach Miller said. "If you think he's struggling at all, you know he's going to make plays like he did with his feet. He was so huge there in that second half and overtime. You always trust in him."
After being hesitant to run in regulation, Wilson scrambled for first downs in overtime. His 7-yard pass to Percy Harvin was the precursor to Lynch's TD run and a collective exhale after Manning's dramatics in the fourth quarter.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wilson finished 24 of 34 for 258 yards and touchdown passes of 39 yards to Ricardo Lockette and 5 yards to Lynch, both late in the first half. Wilson rushed for 40 yards, most coming in overtime, while Lynch added 88 yards rushing.
Seattle coach Pete Carrion said Seattle (2-1) blew a 17-3 fourth-quarter lead, watching Denver tie the game at 20 on Manning's 26-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Tamme with 18 seconds left in regulation and his 2-point conversion pass to Demaryius Thomas.
"That really was a championship game today." Seattle coach Pete Carroll said.
but McDonald got a touch to the shot. Salazar smartly followed her rebound and scored into an open net.
Manning's rally was helped by a number of Seahawks mistakes in the fourth quarter, including a safety and Wilson's first interception of the season. Manning was 31 of 49 for 303 yards and two touchdowns,

but also threw a costly fourth-quarter interception.
Denver appeared done after Kam Chancellor intercepted Manning at the Seattle 13 with 2:25 left, leading to Steven Hauschka's 28-yard field goal with 59 seconds remaining. But Manning pulled Denver even with stunning precision.
going 80 yards in just 41 seconds and without any timeouts capped by Tamme getting behind K.J. Wright in coverage for a touchdown with 18 seconds left. Thomas was able to drag both feet on the 2-point conversion to tie it at 20.

THE MORNING BREW
Underdogs: Nothing to lose, everything to gain
It's almost always fun to root for the underdogs — the bigger the spread the better. And college football was certainly not short on upsets and underdogs this past weekend.
To kick off this week's action, No. 5 Auburn was put to the test last Thursday against No. 20 Kansas State in what proved to be the Tigers' most challenging game thus far this season. Though Auburn prevailed in the end, it was a long, hard-fought battle in Manhattan in a game that was a lot closer than Tiger fans would have liked.
No. 2 Oregon kept fans up late Saturday night when a predicted blowout came a little too close for comfort. The heavily favored Oregon Ducks were expected to win by more than three touchdowns, but instead, found themselves in a dogfight with their conference foe, the Washington State Cougars. The Cougars rallied hard, falling just short of a victory on their home turf, losing by seven points to the Ducks, 38-31.

West Virginia kept things interesting against No. 4 Oklahoma in its first Big 12 conference game of the season. The Mountaineers and the Sooners were tied at halftime, but the Sooners came out of the locker room with the momentum and carried it through the end of the game. Though the Mountaineers fell short, losing 45-33, they did keep fans on the edge of their seats for longer than anyone expected.
And in the biggest, oh-so-close scare, No. 22 Clemson nearly knocked off the defending national champion and No.1 ranked Florida State in Tallahassee. Clemson battled furiously all game long and was in position to kick a game-winning field goal as time
wound down, only to see the game slip into overtime with an unfortunate fumble. In the overtime session, the Florida State defense held on a crucial fourth down, and the Seminole offense scored two plays later to end Clemson's upset bid.
THE BREW
But enough of the near-misses. Previously
unranked Mississippi State came out of nowhere to shut down the No. 8 Louisiana State Tigers 34-29 in Baton Rouge. The Bulldogs were rewarded by a huge jump in the polls to No. 14, while LSU fell nine spots to No. 17. Saturday's loss marked the first time LSU has lost a Southeastern Conference home opener since 2005, while the win ended the Buldogs' 14-game losing streak against the Tigers dating back to 1999.
And while no one in Lawrence was too heartbroken to see Missouri lose to Indiana, I'm sure the feeling wasn't mutual in Columbia. The
No.18 Tigers fell to the unranked Hoosiers 31-27. Indiana came from behind in the fourth quarter, scoring a game-winning touchdown with just 22 seconds left on the clock.
it's upsets me
near-misses like this that
college football fun. It's
make college football fun. It's always better to shock people or to exceed their expectations than to give them exactly what they are expecting. At least, that is the case if you are the underdog. No one likes to watch blowout games. They are boring, even if you're on the winning side.
Being the underdog is by far the best way to win. And it's not just about walking away with the 'W'. It's about walking away knowing you've earned the respect of football fans across the nation.

St. Louis Cardinals clinch playoff spot, then lose 7-2 to Cincinatti Reds
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST.LOUIS The St. Louis Cardinals clinched a playoff spot on Sunday, and then lost 7-2 to Jay Bruce and the Cincinnati Reds.
St. Louis secured its fourth consecutive postseason appearance when Milwaukee lost to Pittsburgh earlier in the day. But the Cardinals' lead in the NL Central was sliced to 21/2 games over the Pirates.
Bruce hit two of Cincinnati's four homers as the Reds snapped a six-game losing streak. Todd Frazier and Devin Mesoraco also went deep.
Reds right-hander Alfredo Simon (15-10) allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings. He was working on a 17-inning scoreless string before St. Louis scored in the fifth.
Bruce hit a solo shot in the fourth and another in the
eighth. He also had an RBI single in the sixth that gave Cincinnati a 3-1 lead.
Yadier Molina and Randal Grichuk hit consecutive RBI doubles in the St. Louis sixth, but the Reds responded with four runs in the eighth. Mesoraco had the big blow, a three-run drive against Sam Tuvailala that made it 6-2.
The Reds hit four homers in a game for the third time this season.
Lance Lynn (15-10) gave up three runs and four hits in six innings for St. Louis. He also struck out nine to run his season total to 181, making him the first St. Louis pitcher to fan 175 or more in three successive years since Bob Gibson (1970-1972).
The Cardinals have won seven of nine and close the regular season on the road with three-game sets in Chicago and Arizona.

Kansas pulls away from CMU after big late plays
STELLA LIANG
@Stelly_Liang
Burned by the big play last week, Kansas defeated Central Michigan 24-10 Saturday by making its own big plays.
None was bigger than wide receiver Justin McCay's 60- yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter.
"I thought that play was the turning play in the game," coach Charlie Weis said.
The score was tied 10-10 early in the last period. Sophomore place kicker Matthew Wyman missed a 35-yard field goal attempt on the previous drive, and the team was looking for a spark.
On a third-and-9 from the Kansas 40-yard line, sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart connected with McCay in the middle of the field. McCay ran away from a defender and headed for the end zone.
McCay said that when the opportunity came, he took it, but was also cautious of celebrating too much, too early.
"After the play, I was like Yeah, we're up," but then we have to finish out the game," McCay said. "I can't just dwell on this play."
It might have been McCay's biggest play in a Kansas uniform. McCay is a senior who started out his career at Oklahoma. After sitting out a year due to transfer rules, McCay played in every game
last year, but only had nine catches for 84 yards and a touchdown.
"Him (McCay) getting an opportunity to make a big play like that, it's almost
"The locker room was as happy of a locker room as we've had in a long time."
CHARLIE WEIS Kansas football coach
like payback for all the hard work he's put in," Weis said. Further big plays then sealed the victory for the Jayhawks.
With two minutes left in the game, freshman running back Corey Avery caught a 30-yard touchdown from Cozart. Senior cornerback JaCorey Shepherd followed up on defense by intercepting a pass from Central Michigan quarterback Cooper Rush.
The Jayhawks took the lead early, just 18 seconds into the game. The quick senior Tony Pierson received the handoff on the opening play and took off.
Weis said the team lined up with four wide receivers and a tight end, so Central Michigan thought it was facing an empty backfield. Pierson, listed as a wide receiver, became the running back on the play and rushed for a 74-yard touchdown.
"I think that Tony's big play early in the game kind of sparked everything, but my biggest concern (energywise) actually was the delay." Weis said.
There were concerns about storms all afternoon. There was almost a 30-minute delay before the third quarter started. No storms ended up reaching Memorial Stadium.
Cozart rebounded from last week's subpar effort by completing 23 of his 33 passing attempts for 226 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Cozart threw short passes for most of the first half, which was efficient enough for the victory. Cozart's main target was senior tight end Jimmay Mundine, who led the team with six catches for 67 yards.
The defense played solid, coming up with three sacks and forcing three turnovers. Junior safety Isaiah Johnson led the team with eight tackles. Junior linebacker Jake Love made two big stops on Central Michigan's offense in the fourth quarter.
Before the game, Weis said this game would set up the Big 12 season, which starts next week with Texas. He and his players were pleased with this effort.
"The locker room was as happy of a locker room as we've had in a long time" Weis said. "Those guys knew the fourth quarter could have gone either way."

Indiana upsets No.18 Missouri 31-27 Saturday

Whatever message Wilson was trying to send, the Hoosiers got it.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — After losing at Bowling Green last week, Indiana coach Kevin Wilson wanted his team to "play with our hair on fire" against Missouri on Saturday.
D'Angelo Roberts scored on a 3-yard touchdown run with 22 seconds remaining and Nate Sudfeld passed for 252 yards and a touchdown to help the Hoosiers upset the 18th-ranked Tigers 31-27.
"We've been talking about how we've been knocking on the door and now you have to knock it down," Wilson said. "We kept tapping on it and hadn't knocked it down."

A Missouri player is taken down by Indiana defenders during Saturday's game. The Hoosiers upset the No. 18-seeded Tigers 31-27
After giving up 10 consecutive points to Missouri in the fourth quarter, the Hoosiers (2-1) traveled 75 yards on six plays to reclaim the lead for good. Tevin Coleman ran 44 yards to the Missouri 15-yard line to setup the game-winning score.
Indiana extended its final drive thanks to a pass interference penalty on Missouri's John Gibson on fourth-and-6 at the Hoosiers' 29. Sudfeld attempted to find Dominique Booth across the middle of the field, but Gibson wrapped his arms around the receiver before he could make the catch.

"You have a bad taste
Indiana entered the game as a double-digit underdog, having lost 45-42 to Bowling Green, but recorded 11 tackles for loss, hamstringing Missouri for most of the first three quarters. The Tigers finished with 498 total yards, including 145 in the final 15 minutes.
Missouri looked to be in prime position, too, after Andrew Baggett kicked a 40-yard field goal with 2:20 remaining to cap an 11-play, 70-yard drive for a 27-24 lead. The score followed a 1-yard touchdown pass from Maty Mauk to Sean Culkin
11 minutes earlier to tie the game.
"When was the last time we faced adversity?" Mauk asked. "Obviously, you don't want that, but we're going to bounce back and I have no doubt everybody's going to get healthy and we're going to come out ready to play Saturday."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mauk completed 28 of 47 passes for 326 yards, two touchdowns and an interception and Russell Hansbrough added 119 yards on the ground on 10 carries. The Tigers (3-1) play at South Carolina next week to start a stretch of eight consecutive games against Southeastern Conference opponents.
Hansbrough provided sparks for the Tigers in the opening half after walking off the field gingerly on Missouri's second possession after Indiana's Antonio Allen committed a horse-collar tackle. He then gained 111 yards on his first three carries, including 68 yards on a touchdown run to tie the score at 14 midway
through the second quarter.
The Tigers struggled to contain Coleman, though, without defensive end Markus Golden, who injured his left hamstring midweek in practice but is expected to return next week, coach Gary Pinkel said. The senior defensive end has 6.5 tackles for loss and four sacks this season.
Coleman opened the game's scoring with a 1-yard run 10 minutes into the game, extending his streak of reaching the end zone to 12 games and tying the school record set by Anthony Thompson in 1988-89.
The junior finished with 132 yards on 19 carries despite sitting the final 20 minutes of the first half with cramps,
Wilson said. He returned during the Hoosiers' first drive after the break.
Indiana gained 493 total yards, 77 short of their season average, and finished just 1 of 14 on third-down conversions. While there are
it was a really big win," Coleman said. "We came out here with fire. We played until the end."
"We ain't got nothing figured out," Wilson said. "We're the same group of bums that played last week. That's the same bunch of bums this week. We'll see how we show up next week."
things to fix, a win against an SEC opponent nonetheless provided some enthusiasm heading into Big Ten play against Maryland.

S
COMMENTARY 15 minutes decided Weis' fate
By Shane Jackson
@JacksonShane3
Leading up to its contest against Central Michigan, all the talk swirling around Kansas football involved third-year coach Charlie Weis fighting for his job.
Weis wasn't just fighting for a fourth year in his five-year plan. There was legitimate doubt whether Weis would be here next week, if the lahwacks were to lose.
So there the man of the hour stood. He was left staring at the scoreboard with his hands on his hips as the teams were deadlocked at 10-all through three quarters of play.
Weis not only delivered in the most crucial 15 minutes of his young Kansas career, but he may have made a roaring statement on the future of this football program.
In the fourth quarter, the Jayhawks had their second-largest scoring output in a quarter this season with 14 unanswered points on the way to a 24-10 victory and 2-1 record.
Through three quarters, the Kansas offense looked bleak. They had accumulated just 249 total yards offensively. A good chunk of them came on the opening play from scrimmage when senior Tony Pierson took an end-around handoff 74 yards for the Jayhawks' lone touchdown in the first 45 minutes.
Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart continued to show his youth, completing 19 of his 27 pass attempts for 134 yards and one interception.
But much like the first quarter of the season when they scored 24 points, the Jayhawks looked like a completely different team in a 15-minute span.
Kansas wound up with 369 total yards offensively. Cozart finished his career night going 23-for-33 for 226 yards and two touchdowns.
Early in the fourth quarter, Cozart connected with a 60-yard catch-and-run on a huge third-down conversion. It was Cozart's first touchdown since his 67-yard completion in the third quarter of the season opener.
On another third-and-9, Cozart found freshman running back Corey Avery over the middle for a 30-yard touchdown connection with under two minutes to go in the game, putting away a team Kansas was clearly better than.
On the surface, a 24-10 victory against a non-conference foe shouldn't have as much importance.
But for a coach who picked up just his third win against an FBS program during his Kansas tenure, a win like this means the world.
The Jayhawks were 15 minutes away from being 1-2, as they heared for the grusome slate of the Big 12 conference. Instead the Wcis-led squad enters conference play 2-1 with a homecoming matchup against a struggling 1-2 Texas team led by first-year coach Charlie Strong.

ALL YOU NEED IS (JAKE) LOVE
Senior linebacker comes up big late against Central Michigan
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
Senior linebacker Jake Love takes down Central Michigan running back Saylor Lavallii on Saturday. Love played a crucial part in Kansas' 24-10 victory against CMU, coach Charlie Weis said.
DAN HARMSEN
@Udk_Dan
Following the 41-3 defeat at the hands of the Duke Blue Devils, the talk surrounding Kansas football was about not surrendering the big plays. Plays of 25 yards or more have troubled the Jayhawks' defense throughout the early stages of the 2014 season.
Last Saturday in Durham, N.C., the Duke offense scored from plays of 69, 68, 45 and 36 yards against the Jayhawks, and in week one, Southeast Missouri State scored from 68, 37 and 26 yards.
This week, however, Central Michigan (2-2) was held out of the end zone until there was 6.11 left in the third quarter when running back Martez Walker rumbled in from 18 yards out.
Despite the final 14-point spread, the game was close throughout, hinging on which
team would make plays.
On second-and-10 from the CMU 26-yard line, senior linebacker Jake Love stopped CMU running back Saylor Lavalli for a two-yard loss. On the next play, arguably one of the game's most pivotal, Love met Lavalli again in the backfield for a loss of six.
With Central Michigan trailing just 17-10 with 6:03 left in the game, the Chippewas, led by sophomore quarterback Cooper Rush, needed a game breaker. But one particular Kansas player would have none of that.
"The only player I called out in the locker room after the game was Jake Love," coach Charlie Weis said. "Those back-to-back plays (Love made) took the wind out of (Central Michigan's) sail ... and helped us win the game."
Love acknowledged Weis' praise after the game.

Love credited paying attention to detail during the game and in the week of preparation as the key to his success. The senior finished the day with five tackles, four for a loss and a sack. His final two tackles were the most crucial.
"They ran two screens to my side back-to-back," Love said. "I was blitzing on one
of the plays, actually, and the offensive linemen released downfield. I smelled a rat, and made a few plays."
His performance on the field, combined with his deserved acclaim from Weis in the locker room, led to a rambunctious celebration.
Love noted several keys to limiting the big play.
"I think it's just everyone playing a lot more physical and everyone getting to the ball." Love said. "I didn't think we did very well against Duke. We preached that all week in practice. Get to the ball, get to the ball."
Senior Ben Heeney gets so much of the credit at linebacker, but it's complimentary players like Love who can really take this defense to the next level.
"There's really no drop off," Heeney said. "As a linebacker corps, I think we're one of the strongest units on the team."
On the evening, the
Chippewas offense amassed just 101 yards on the ground and 178 yards through the air in Kansas' 24-10 victory. CMU's longest play from scrimmage was 29 yards, and after allowing 245 yards to Duke freshman Shaun Wilson a week ago, Kansas held CMU as a whole to just 2.9 yards per carry.
"The defense only gave up 10 points and had three turnovers," Weis said. "All in all, they played pretty stout up front."
Love will look to carry his performance over to next weekend as Kansas takes on Texas for its annual Homecoming game Saturday. The last time the Longhorns came to Lawrence, Love notched 2.5 tackles for a loss in a 21-17 Kansas loss. Kansas will need that kind of performance again if it wants to win.

Kansas volleyball takes title at Jayhawk Classic over the weekend
MATT CORTE
@Corte UDK
Saturday night's match between Kansas and Arkansas played out as the de facto championship of the Jayhawk Classic, with both teams coming in 2-0 in the tournament.
What was supposed to be a highly contested match for Kansas turned out to be a fairly lopsided affair. The Jayhawks did drop their second overall set of the invitational, but still managed to win the match and the tournament 25-16, 25-11, 27-29 and 25-18.

Coach Ray Bechard was happy with the win, but still pointed out that his young squad needs to focus more at times.
"We got so many young kids out there, that it's a challenge to play really well for an hour and forty-five minutes or two hours," Bechard said. "That's just part of our growth, and we talk as coaches, our staff, how we're going to have patience with that."
Freshman setter Ainise
Sophomore libero Cassie Wait won MVP of the Jayhawk Classic, the first of her career after being selected to her first All-Tournament team a week ago at the Villanova Classic. She finished the match against Arkansas with 26 digs, giving her 54 overall for the invitational.
Freshman setter Ainise Havili sets up freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon (14) prepares for a kill. Rigdon led Kansas with 46 kills in the tournament.
"It's an incredible feeling, but I really just have to thank my teammates." Wait said. "They funnel the balls to me, they give me the opportunity to dig, and if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be anything."
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Havili was also selected to the Jayhawk Classic All-Tournament team, the third time this season in which she was voted onto an All-Tournament team. Havili finished with 51 assists against Arkansas and 131 overall in the invitational, adding 32 total digs as well.
"I'm speechless; I don't know what to say about it," Havili said. "I think it helped that we won three out of the four tournaments, so that was a big part of me getting any awards at all, and it was definitely a team thing."
Freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon had a great tournament too, leading the team in kills with 46 and recording a career-high 20 kills against Arkansas in the process.
The Jayhawks won easily in their first match of the invitational, defeating a then 9-1 North Texas team 25-19, 25-17 and 25-19.
Their second match against Cleveland State came with a few hurdles energy being one of them but the team still managed to assert themselves and win in four sets, 25-14, 18-25, 25-14 and 25-19.
The win against Cleveland State also happened to be the 1000th for Bechard's career, with 284 of those wins coming at Kansas.
Bechard was all smiles after the match.
"It was cool to hear from a lot of current and (former) players that were a part of that, and coaches, and I'll obviously share that with this year's team."
To say Kansas started out strong against Arkansas would be a vast
understatement, as the Jayhawks barely let their opposition come close in sets one or two, winning 25-16 and 25-11.
Whatever momentum Kansas finished with after set two wore away before the third door, as Arkansas
Luckily for Bechard, his team in the fourth set ressembled that of the first two sets in which the Jayhawks dominated.
battled the Jayhawks point-for-point until pulling out a close win, 29-27, saving two match points.
After the set was tied 13-13, Kansas put together a couple small but crucial runs, including a 5-2 run to put the score at 23-17 and help the Jayhawks cruise to a comfortable 25-18 fourth set win.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Theme embraces old traditions, new ideas
It's that time of year again. Along with the return of sweater weather, pumpkin spice lattes and football games, the end of September ushers in the return of traditions and alumni with Homecoming week.
This year's theme, "Roll with the Hawks," envelops all the fun and games that comes with Homecoming. In addition to the traditional Homecoming football game, organizations compete throughout the week in the spirit of collaboration and pride at our University. Alumni return for reunions across campus, mixing traditions of old with traditions of

new to create an atmosphere that is uniquely KU Homecoming.
These traditions are highlighted in this issue, which includes memories of Homecomings throughout the years from the perspectives of the people who experienced them. While the University has changed over time, the spirit of its
students has not. One only needs to look around during this week to see how involved and enthusiastic the student body remains. Combine that with the alumni returning this week, and the amount of spirit on campus will be enough to make any Jayhawk proud.
So roll the dice and travel around the board game that is the University's campus this week. With events occurring every day, odds are you'll find yourself connecting to more Jayhawks than ever before, old and young alike. After all, there's nothing quite like the University of Kansas during Homecoming Week.

Steering Committee, advisers look forward to impact
MARIA SANCHEZ
@MariaSanchezKU
When senior Caleb Johnsor from Basehor was little, he would come to the University of Kansas with his family in the fall. There they would watch the Homecoming parade and enjoy the atmosphere. Now, Johnson is one of two parade chairs on the 2014 Homecoming Steering Committee at the University.
Johnson became involved with Homecoming festivities first hand at his high school when he was thrown into building floats because he knew power tools. After high school, his experience placed him in a similar situation.
MATT ROWEER/KANSAN
"When I came up to KU and I rushed, the first thing my fraternity did was throw me on the Homecoming committee because they had heard I had experience from high school," Johnson said. "After that I was just hooked, and I knew eventually at some point I wanted to apply for Steering. It's always been something near and dear to my heart. This time of the year is great."
Senior Caleb Johnson and Paige Hofer sit outside the Adams Alumni Center planning for Homecoming events on Sunday. Johnson is one of the Parade Chairs on the Steering Committee and Hofer is the co-adviser of the Steering Committee.
Johnson is not the only one who has a special place for this time of year. Jacey Krehbiel, a 2012 KU graduate from McPherson and coordinator of Alumni Programs and co-adviser of the Steering Commit-
ideas, and we have to narrow it down to our top three to present [to the Alumni Association]," Johnson said. "This year presenting stuff, and then the alumni staff telling us start over again, kind of made things a little hectic for a few weeks trying to get the theme hammered out."
The committee landed on the theme 'Roll with the Hawks', which incorporates mainly board games into this year's events. Coordinator of Student Programs and co-adviser of the Steering Committee, Paige Hofer said the theme is meant to leave room for imagination.
"We always try to pick a theme that's fun but that people can be creative with it," Hofer said. "We chose this one to be more of a board game type, so that's why we are doing the live Clue game to embrace that idea rather than dice and gambling.
The theme was chosen after committee members decided that playing a live game could be a breath of fresh air for students. Although the theme is inspiring new events, like the residence hall video game tournaments, Johnson said some students had doubts starting out.
"I think at first students weren't sure of the theme just because of trying to think of different ways to incorporate the theme for their competi-
--tee, said she thoroughly enjoyed Homecoming when she attended the University.

"It was my favorite week as a student," Krehbiel said. "If I could help other students enjoy it just as much then that's the whole point."
tions, but everyone I've talked to recently is really excited," Johnson said. "It lets you expand and think outside the box, and have a little bit more freedom to do whatever you want with the theme versus being very rigid with something."
"We started with a list of probably 100 different theme
Johnson said this process was time-consuming but always interesting.
The planning process for this year's Homecoming began in January after the 10-member Steering Committee was selected. After the students returned from winter break they began deciding on a theme. The committee met every week until the spring semester ended. After classes began this fall, the meetings resumed.
Along with new events, some events are making a comeback or being changed. "Stuff The Bus" is returning to Homecoming Week after being absent from last year's events and "Murals," a traditional event where students decorate a canvas, is evolving this year.
"I'm excited to see the change," Hofer said. "Instead of murals we're doing signs, and they are plywood signs so they'll be bigger out on the lawn of Fraser."
"I think residence hall students probably don't hear about Homecoming unless
Krehbiel said she is excited for how these new events, like the residence halls video game tournament event, will get a wide range of students involved.
they're directly involved with other student organizations," Krehbiel said. "We hope to have them jump on the Homecoming band wagon."
Hofer added that she encourages all students to be involved in the Homecoming experience, even if they only participate in one event.
Johnson said he sees the experience as a way for students to show their spirit for the University.
"I just want them to be able to come out," Johnson said. "It's a week where we can all celebrate being Jayhawks, going to the greatest university in the country and be excited about the fact that we're here."
For Krehbiel, Homecoming is not just for spirit but also a time when a strong bond is waiting to be made.
"You experience a lot of diversity, and a lot of just differing views and opinions," Krehbiel said. "It's one of those things where Homecoming is for future Jayhawks, it's for current Jayhawks and it's for alumni. So, out of all the events that happen throughout the year, it is one that certainly brings everyone together in their one common bond of being a Jayhawk."

Homecoming traditions show historical roots
RYAN WRIGHT
@KansanNews
Ever since its debut in 1912, Homecoming has been a strong tradition at KU. With more than 100 years of history and tradition, there have been a ton of memorable moments. To the right is a timeline with key events throughout the history of KU Homecoming. All information is credited to the KU History Collection at the KU Memorial Unions and the KU Alumni Association.
Over the past 102 years, KU's Homecoming has delighted students and alumni with memorable moments. Hopefully, this year will continue the rich tradition.
- Edited by Emily Brown
HOMECOMING HISTORY
1912: Kansas played its first Homecoming football game against its rival, Mizzou. The night before the game, students prepared for the game by burning a wooden tiger. KU went on to win the game 12-3.
1921: The first Homecoming parade was held. Leon Flint, a KU journalism professor, pitched the idea of Homecoming as a way to entertain alumni.
1925: KU's first Homecoming Queen was crowned. A new queen was crowned each year until 1969 when anti-war demonstrations convinced the committee to recognize academic spirit. The ExCEL Award now recognizes two students for their leadership and excellence in academics.
1956: The University introduced Homecoming themes. The very first theme was "Songs of Victory." In the past, Homecoming themes were incorporated into lawn decorations by fraternities, sororities and residence halls. Today, the theme is used to coordinate Homecoming events and celebrations.
1971: During halftime of the 1971 football game against K-State, KU unveiled a second mascot, Baby Jay. In addition, the day before the game, 13 students drove to Manhattan to change the 100-foot tall KSU letters to spell KU.
1993: After the annual Homecoming parade, the Kansas Union was rededicated. This ended a six-year, $11.5 million renovation. During the ceremony, a time capsule was placed behind the 1993 cornerstone. The capsule includes KU's new non-smoking policy among other items. The time capsule will be reopened in 2050.
2008: The Ambler Student Recreation Center was dedicated. Dave Ambler, the building's namesake, was the parade's Grand Marshall.

Alumni share favorite memories, current traditions
AMBER VANDEGRIFT
@Kansannews
Alumni Michael Goff and Jeff Underwood have not been to every KU Homecoming, but they have been to enough that both of them have memories that go back for years.
Goff, a 1976 graduate, currently is the president of Premiere Sports in Overland Park. Underwood, a 1984 graduate, works in IT at CORE Cashless in Lenexa. Both of these alumni make it a goal to come back for Homecoming every year.
Underwood said he has been playing euphonium, a brass horn, in the KU Alumni Band for at least 20 years. This year is the Alumni Band's 40th anniversary, and the band
"I made a lot of great friendships and met a lot of people through marching band, and I was a big band guy. A lot of those same folks come back to play, and it's just a great time," Underwood said. "It's great to dust off the horn after it sits for a year and get out and play and have a good 'ol time."
see old friends.
"I just remember at halftime that they kind of had all this hooplah, and they rolled out a big egg, and you're kind of wondering what the heck's going on, and the egg cracks, and Baby Jay pops out," Goff said. "Now, of course ... everybody thinks there's two jay-

will play at the Homecoming game and parade.
MICHAEL GOFF 1976 KU graduate
"Honestly, I come back every year for Homecoming," Underwood said. "I live in Lawrence now — we just moved back a few years ago after being gone for 26 years
and I would make the trip up every year, and the main reason I came back was to play in the Alumni Band."
Goff said this is the third year he will be coming back to Homecoming for Jayhawk Generations, but even before he was participating in the event, he still came back for Homecomings yearly.
Goff said he and his wife have two children and a son-in-law, so it can be difficult to get everyone together for a football game.
"Homecoming is just the one game on the football schedule that we always point to and say, 'OK, that's the one we absolutely have to all attend and tailgate together and be there together,'" Goff said.
"I'm already a season ticket holder, but I love Homecoming because that's probably the one weekend of the year that I make sure ... that it's clear on the calendar, and that I can come back," Goff said. "My wife is a KU alum and my kids are KU alum, so it's really a family ... opportunity to get back to Lawrence and to the campus."
hawks, well at one time, there wasn't. There was just the big one. So, it was just fun, it was just really memorable."
Underwood said Homecoming is a time for him to play in the Alumni Band and
Goff said the game was already exceptional because quarterback David
Jaynes was leading Kansas to a victory against Kansas State, but witnessing Baby Jay being revealed for the first time was significant for him.
Underwood said one of his favorite Homecoming memories involved a float he built with his fraternity when he was a student. He said the fraternities and sororites each teamed up to create floats to be judged in a contest.
"It certainly was an expansion on the whole idea of the Jayhawk as the school's mascot," Goff said. "That was I think the year before I actually became a student, and so part of that memory was just that it kind of affirmed to me why KU was the place I wanted to go."
"I seem to remember most of the time, we didn't build floats that actually moved. I remember succinctly building a float in the front yard." Underwood said. "I can't exactly remember what the float exactly looked like, but it had a fire-breathing dragon as part of it, and we ran it pretty much most of the night. I remember my extent: I was actually the smoke for the fire breathing dragon, I had a fire extinguisher up in there, and ... I got inside the float and actually provided the effect."
his fraternity.
Underwood is now the advisor for the Delta Chi fraternity, and he is looking forward to seeing how their float turns out. Goff had a similar experience his freshman year with
"There was a cyclone or a tornado involved, and for some reason I had to sort of lay in the re-creation of Memorial Stadium. So we built a kind of small mini stadium, and I actually had to... lay inside and turn on a switch when something was supposed to happen on the display, and at the time it seemed like really a fun thing to do, but after about a half hour of laying on your back it got to be kind of tiresome," Goff said.
The University has changed since Goff and Underwood were students, but they are glad some things have stayed the same. Underwood said he is glad the University revived Hoch Auditorium because he was there when the building caught fire.
"I happened to be visiting the day that it burned down, and I was really afraid [the University] was going to just tear the whole thing down, but [it] did keep the front facade and then rebuilt the back end of it, so that was nice," Underwood said.
Underwood bought a brick from the building when they were sold as a fundraiser. He played concerts in the building when he was in band as a student and he is happy to see it is still on campus.
Goff said he is glad the University's campus is still as beautiful as it was when he was a student.
"I'm glad that you know no matter what, you're going to come back to this pristine campus with buildings that have been there, you know, longer than most of us have lived. There's so many memories and stories in those buildings and on those sidewalks." Goff said. "I know that there are certainly improvements being made to Jayhawk Boulevard and whatnot ... but to me it's just the fact that the campus was gorgeous 50 years ago, and it's going to be gorgeous on Sept. 27. You do truly feel like you're coming back home because of the quality time that all of us spent there."
Goff and Underwood are both looking forward to different aspects of Homecoming. Underwood said he is looking forward to the parade on Massachusetts Street and Goff is looking forward to the game. Goff would love the Jayhawks to win against Texas, but he always loves spending time at Memorial Stadium.
"For me there is no better place to spend a fall afternoon than on the hill in Lawrence," Goff said. "It's just a beautiful place."

0: What is your favorite part about Homecoming?
Q: What is your favorite part about Homecoming?
A: My favorite part of Homecoming is definitely the parade and just getting to see all the floats that everyone worked so hard on the entire week. Everyone comes together and celebrates the whole week. It's just a really fun time at the parade.
Q: What do you do to get excited for Homecoming?
A: I and another girl are the Homecoming chairs of our sorority so we have a lot of leadership responsibilities with that. We're pairing up with a fraternity and so we have all kinds of events that we're planning on doing and a bunch of different ideas that go along with the theme "Rolling with the Hawks". It's a lot of work but it pays off in the end.
D. What does Homecoming mean to you?
A: Homecoming is really an opportunity for everyone to come together. All the old alumni from my sorority come, as well as my parents who went to KU, come and get to revisit their past.

Q: What is your favorite part about Homecoming?
A: My favorite part about Homecoming is waking up and getting together with all my friends at the tailgate to celebrate what being a college student at KU is all about. When you see all of the tailgates going on around the stadium, with everyone wearing the KU colors, it really shows how the KU community can come together and get excited about being a lav Hawk.

A: To get excited about Homecoming I try and get all of my school work done before the weekend because I know when the weekend comes around it's going to be a great time.

A: Homecoming means having KU alumni and current students come together as one to celebrate what has been celebrated since KU was created. What I hear from friends from other schools, what they do during game day, it's nothing compared to what we have here at KU.

Q: What is your favorite part about Homecoming?
A: My favorite part of Homecoming week is being matched up with awesome sororites around campus and getting to know the sorority girls better. My favorite event is definitely the parade. The football game is cool too, but being from KU I look forward to basketball more.
u: What do you do to get excited for Homecoming?

I definitely think Homecoming has a lot of history behind it, whether it be alumni and parents coming out for the game or being able to look back on homecoming week in the future and knowing how much being a Jayhawk means to us.

Rob Riggle, KU alumnus of the class of 1992, will lead this year's Homecoming Parade as grand marshal.
A well-known actor and comedian known for his work in films such as "The Hangover" and "21 Jump Street," Riggle will lead the parade down Massachusetts Street on Friday at 6 p.m. Following the parade, a pep rally will be held on Eighth Street between Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets.
"Rob has been on our short list for marshal for several years now," said Jennifer Sanner, senior vice president for communications at the KU Alumni Association. "We were lucky that [Homecoming] fit with his schedule . . . He likes to play up his KU connections whenever he can."
Riggle has many connections with the University. Sanner
said Riggle has been involved with the Alumni Association and the Presidents Club for several years, and frequently attends KU basketball and football games on campus. Sanner hopes his presence will lend even more visibility
to the activities of Homecoming Week.
"We're hoping he can be part of the other activities," she said. "His KU spirit is unquestionable. He has a tremendous desire to stay a part of the KU community. We're thrilled that he can be a part of it."
In addition to being a KU alum, Riggle has been on "Saturday Night Live" and is a 23-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He graduated from the University with a B.A. in Theater and Film, and
is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

Riggle isn't a stranger to hosting KU events, either. Last fall, he was the host of Late Night in the Phog, and students are looking forward to his return to campus.

Student groups perform short skits and songs during the Jayhawk Jingles event on Oct. 3, 2013.
With Homecoming back in the spotlight this week, it's time to look forward to Jayhawk Jingles. The show will take place Wednesday from 6-9 p.m. at the Adams Alumni Center.
Jayhawk Jingles is part of the Homecoming Food Fest at the Alumni Center this year, and groups can earn points for Homecoming Week by participating in the event.
Michael Garrett, a senior from Lenexa and a campus outreach chair for the event, said the participants in jingles bring other people from their organizations to watch and cheer on their friends in the event, as well as get free food while they are there.
"You make up a seven-minute song and skit, and groups take that a lot of different ways," Garrett said of the basic premise of the Jingles.
He said that some people sing the whole time, and some people do singing and a skit, like a musical, while others do a medley of songs.
There is no lip syncing involved because, most of the time, the students are creating their own lyrics. Students often will take popular songs and re-word them to relate to Lawrence and the University.
Garrett says that groups also usually aim to include the theme of Homecoming into the Jingles. This year's theme is "Roll with the Hawks."
On Sunday night when Homecoming Week starts, the groups come in to audition.
"Usually they're really, really rough, because they haven't gotten a lot of practice yet," he
said. "We just want to see if it's going to go anywhere."
Specifically, Garrett and the committee need to know if the groups have an idea of what they're going to do and have songs and a theme picked out
"We have a panel of alumni judges, and they love doing it," Garrett said.
According to the Alumni Association's website, the judges are selected by the Campus Outreach Chairs and Awards Chair.

"I got asked to do it randomly last year, and it was a lot of fun," Woolpert said. "I'd done musicals and shows the year before in high school, so I was able to do the Jingles pretty easily."
Ellarie Woolpert, a sophomore from Topeka, took part in the Jayhawk Jingles with her Kappa Alpha Theta sorority partnered with the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity last year.

Jingles only involved greek organizations. He hopes the show gets some other groups because he said it's fun if you have good diversity in the groups participating.

Homecoming Week food drive seeks to fill KU bus with healthy options
MINSEON KIM
@minseonkim94
The Stuff the Bus program, a competition to see who can donate the most food to fill a KU bus, has been a popular program during Homecoming weeks in the past. With more than 25 organizations participating each year during Homecoming Week, the program donated 7,500 pounds of nonperishable food in 2012 and 9,700 pounds in 2011 to Just Food, a food bank in Douglas County.
This year, Stuff the Bus took place in front of the KU Adams Alumni Center from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Students say they are excited to see the KU bus they normally ride around campus being filled with food.
"The idea of putting everything on the bus really catches people's attention," said Caitlin Dunbar, a senior from Wichita and a community outreach
chair in the homecoming steering committee.
After a year of absence due to a program with United Way, Stuff the Bus will revive and restart to help solve local hunger issues in Lawrence.
"This year we were contacted by Just Food of Douglas County and [they asked] if we would be interested in reviving Stuff the Bus," said Jacey Krenhbiel, coordinator of alumni programs from McPherson. "Because we weren't doing it last year, they saw a drop in their success rates of items and what not. It's one of those situations where we find a need and this was a great partnership with Just Food."
Because Stuff the Bus serves Douglas County, students can see their donations directly benefiting the community they are living in.
"It [goes to a] local [charity],
and we really try and keep it within the community. I think that really reaches out to more
Jeremy Farmer, the CEO of Just Food Douglas County, emphasizes the quality of food being donated through the Stuff the Bus food donation. Farmer said food drives are more than donating as much food as possible.
of the student body when they know that the food is actually going to stay in here in Lawrence, Kansas, and help families here," Dunbar said.
"Most of the time when we do food drives, we get the most unhealthy food — any food drive that we do, college students notwithstanding," Farmer said.
one problem by virtue of trying to solve another. There is value in just giving thought to the fact of what is it that I am buying and how is this going to affect someone else's life potentially" Farmer said.
With $21.2 million being spent on treating type 2 diabetes in Douglas County, Farmer says that the mentality of "more food is better" has to go. Getting more out of the same amount of money has often been seen as the best option, not only for college students but for the country in general.
Stuff the Bus has a big impact on Just Food Douglas County in providing the needs of hungry people. Students can make a greater impact on the community by stuffing the right food.
"We don't want to exacerbate
"This is a big deal for us. A lot of people participate, a lot of people love getting involved. It's easy to pick up food that is needed and to give makes a huge impact for our clients. It would make it an even larger one if we are able to get the right food in the door," Farmer said.
There are five recommended items that can nourish children and parents' meals.
"Things that we need the most are healthy cereals, whole-grain pasta, canned
fruit, peanut butter, and canned meat. Those are the things that our clients take the most of," he said.
Just Food Douglas County and the KU Alumni Association continue to work together to solve the hunger issue

We want to not continue just by virtue of operating to legitimize our existence to grow. Our mission is to holistically look at this issue — hunger — not just from the standpoint of how can we save somebody's hunger today, but
how to save their hunger in the long-term."
The KU Alumni Association looks forward to reach out beyond just the KU community with the Stuff the Bus program.
"We think it's really about recognizing what we have here
it's easy to pick up food that is needed and to give makes a huge impact for our clients. It would make it an even larger one if we are able to get the right food in the door.

and how we can transfer that beyond just our university and classes and beyond KU," Dunbar said.

Local KU charity accepting donations all week
@alana flinn
"These kids don't have anything, so for them to be as thoughtful as to say 'We're the host, and you're coming to our country, so we want to give you something.' It's nothing big, but it's the idea behind it," Heeren said.
Getting out of the car at a park in Bangladesh, Madeline Heeren was greeted by children giving her handpicked flowers. The third-year law student from Lenexa was taken aback by the gesture, as many of these underprivileged children barely had enough clothes on to keep them warm.
Aqmar Rahman, a third-year law student from Lawrence, remembers this as his favorite memory from traveling to Bangladesh.
"These kids are probably 5 to 10 years old, and they literally have nothing." Rahman said. "The fact that they are so kind and thoughtful to be able to do something like that, that's just one small example of the 10 or 20 times something like that happened."
Heeren and Rahman, CEO and president of UAB, respectively, founded the charity after they traveled to Bangladesh while writing a paper on the textile and apparel industry.
Those Bengali children are recipients of donations from United Across Borders, a KU charity that provides clothing to underprivileged children in Bangladesh, as well as to local Kansas City shelters.
"I noticed there were millions of articles of clothing in the factory, and yet these people on the streets when you walk
out don't have clothes." Heeren said. "So it really stuck with me, and it just bothered me that there was this huge discrepancy, and we really wanted to figure out a way to help these people."
One of the main purposes of the charity is to collect KU-specific apparel to donate because the founders of the organization share such a passion for the school they attend.
"I'm a huge Jayhawk fan," Rahman said. "It's unnatural how big of a Jayhawk fan I am, so one of my goals is to line the streets of Bangladesh and other parts of the world with Jayhawk colors, so it can be crimson and blue everywhere in the world."
UAB will be collecting donations during Homecoming week at the Adams Alumni Center, 1266 Oread Ave. Doj-school GENERATIONS CONNECT. CREATE. UNITE.

Parade floats allow for competition and fun

The marching bands, candy and antique vehicles that are so familiar to KU students will be returning on Friday at 6 p.m. No parade is complete without the addition of floats.
The building and judging of floats in the Homecoming parade is a longstanding tradition at the University.
Emma Hardwick, a senior from Overland Park, and Caleb Johnson, a senior from Basehor, hold the positions of co-parade chairs for the 2014 Homecoming season. The committee decided on almost all of the goings-on of this year's Homecoming, from the theme to the events that occur throughout the week.
Included in the committee's responsibilities are the registration and organization of all floats involved in the parade. Almost all floats are student run, Hardwick said. As far as competition goes, there are two divisions for float judging: student organization floats and greek floats.
The floats are built onto a trailer, their frame molded from chicken wire and completed by "pumping," a process in which small pieces of tissue paper are attached to fill the frame. In recent years, moving parts have been allowed to be incorporated into floats.
Johnson said groups can enter the parade in four different categories: walking with a banner, a decorated vehicle, a non-moving parts float, and a moving parts float.
Design dictates the time spent on a float, Johnson said.
"The biggest thing with building a float is the design," he said. "How extravagant you're trying to be dictates how labor intensive it's going to be. A more simple design can be done in a couple days with five people working on it. On the more detail-oriented end, you can have 14 guys working around the clock for five days."
Hardwick said float building is as competitive as a group makes it.
"There are two or three sorority and fraternity pairs that are very gung-ho about it," she said. "They can get really elaborate. The last two times that we've built our float, no one knew its location. We said 'the float is being built by this barn' and told very few people the exact place so competitors couldn't see what we were building."
Johnson agrees with Hardwick.
"Float building is very competitive, and that's part of why it's fun," Johnson said. "You're always trying to do better than you did last year."
The greek division is historically more competitive than student organizations.
"There aren't a ton of non-greeks that have floats in the parade, but they're definitely still participating." Hardwick said. Some of the
more impressive floats she has seen in the recent past include a giant Jayhawk, a car with someone inside of it "driving," and a float with a model of each of the Jayhawk logo iterations from the past 100 years.
Hardwick said to build an interesting float, a group should think outside of the box.
"Think of something creative," Hardwick said. "A lot of people do a Jayhawk. A lot of people like to do a football field theme. Wheat is another big one. I can assure you that half of the floats will have a Jayhawk on them."
Hardwick and Johnson want to see KU students show their passion for the University, and that extends itself to the Homecoming parade and float creation.

"I'd like to see everyone turn it up a few notches," Hardwick said. "It would be great to see everyone get a little more competitive about their floats."
Johnson said groups should keep in mind that the goal of float building should never be to win. He said the goal is to "create something that makes the kids standing on the side watching the parade go, 'Wow, that's awesome.'"

Lawrence lights up for Homecoming's Glow KU
@JohnPaul UDK
JOHN PAUL REYNOLDS
Imagine Lawrence glowing with school pride. The first university visible from space during Homecoming weekend would epitomize its school spirit and tradition. Glow KU is a relatively new Homecoming tradition that aims to do just that.
In a tradition that started four years ago, on-campus and off-campus student groups show their school spirit by illuminating their households and buildings with red, blue yellow and white lights. This year's Glow KU event kicked off yesterday at houses throughout Lawrence, and will continue for the remainder of Homecoming Week.
Jacey Krehbiel, coordinator of Alumni Programs and Homecoming Advisor, said she is excited for this year's Homecoming. Whereas the event was still developing the last couple of years, she is hopeful for what this year's participants create.
Partners Sigma Kappa sorority and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity were the winners last year with lights covering 360 degrees of their houses under the theme "Around the World." This year, Sigma Kappa is paired up with Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
"This is the third year of Glow KU, and I think everyone has a better understanding of the idea of the event," she said.
Judging will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday in two different categories: one for student organizations like the scholarship halls and the School of Engineering, and another for the greek chapter houses. After the judges finish their rounds, a first, second and third place will be decided.
"We are sticking close to the theme this year, which is 'Roll with the Hawks,' and have many elements of board games in our design."
MADDIE GAUGHAN
Sigma Kappa president
Maddie Gaughan, president of Sigma Kappa and a senior from Leawood, said the sorority has been gathering lights and sketching designs for its setup in preparation for the event.
"We are sticking close to the theme this year, which is 'Roll with the Hawks', and have many elements of board games in our design," she said.
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN
Krehbiel encouraged everyone in the community to join in and show their school pride, as participating groups always give great feedback for the event. Glow KU judges anywhere in Lawrence, so to be a part of the event, residents can submit their residence to the KU Homecoming site to be considered in the competition.

WHO IN YOUR FAMILY ATTENDED KU?
WHAT WAS IT LIKE GROWING UP
A FAMILY OF JAYHAWKS?
ML: My great-grandfather, my mother and my mom's brother and sister — so my aunt and uncle on her side. I had a cousin and here you briefly also
IN A FAMILY OF JAYHAWK
Ml: I was always exposed to the University of Kansas. I learned all of that stuff at a very young age.
I was always watching football games and basketball games. I always wanted to be a jayhawk.
Seeing all those people and the atmosphere. Being exposed to that at a young age made me want to go here.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL FAMILY TRADITIONS?
ML: During football games we always have a tailgate at the top of the hill. My grandpa always brings Subway sandwiches and chips. No major traditions.
WAS IT EVER AN OPTION TO
STEND ANOTHER COLLEGE?
ATTEND ANOTHER COLLEGE
ML: It was an option. I also gave thoughts to a couple of other schools like Oklahoma State and Wichita State. I kind of knew I was not going to go there, but I at least wanted to look at other schools.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF KU?
ML: My favorite part is the basketball. I am in the Sigma Chi house. My grandfather was in Sigma Chi; he was on the basketball team here and was also the athletic director, too. It is cool for me to see what he has done. It is cool to see what an influence he was at Allen Fieldhouse and also at Sigma Chi. He has his bio and pictures and history. It is really fun to go see it and tell people that he is like my grandpa.

IMMUNIZATION?
IN A FAMILY OF JAYHAVWEST
JF: I always have a lot of pride in KU and knew this was where I wanted to go to school. It was always the highlight of the year when basketball season came around. 2008 was a big year with KU and the Orange Bowl and the national championship game. That was when I was starting high school and trying to figure out where I wanted to go to school. My parents would

WAS IT EVER AN OPTION TO ATTEND ANOTHER COLLEGE?
JF: My senior year I had to decide between University of Kansas and Oklahoma State University. What influenced my final decision was just tradition and history. Not only in my family, but also a great place to go and study business.
JF: I remember our first basketball game here we played Colorado, and I was in third grade and somehow we got tickets in with the student section. So it was my dad, my fifth-grade sister, my third-grade self and my first-grade brother all sitting in the KU student section for a Big Twelve basketball game. That was the first time we ever got to wave the wheat and do the Rock Chalk chant.
N.Y.
JF: No my dad was very open to me going wherever I thought fit best. I know that when I told him I was going to KU he was really happy the tradition would be carried on through me especially with an older sister at K-State. It's cool, and I think he is into kind of sentimental stuff like this, but we both think its cool that we walked on the same campus and have classes in the same buildings. Even though we
studied different things we will still have that connection of KU.

IN A FAMILY OF JAYHAWKS!
SP: Growing up as a Jayhawk was interesting because when I was little we would come to all the games and have fun and tailgate. As I got older, I got really pressured into becoming a Jayhawk myself and going to college here. I would say that it was fun just because of the history of KU and how much my parents loved it and being able to see that. I feel like that is something that I wanted in college.
HOW IS IT HAVING YOUR DAUGHTER AT KU?
BP: Very satisfying. I am very happy to have her here, she is really enjoying it. Just loves the campus. We have been coming up here for years going to games. I am just so happy she is part of that and something that we can share together. It is something we will always be able to share so I am excited for her.
SP: We tailgate together; we also drive two hours to go to the basketball games and stuff. We usually eat at Salty Iguana, it's really good.
BP: We come to a lot of basketball games and a lot of football games but, I would not say we have any real traditions. Except, we have a big rock in our front yard it's got a big Jayhawk on it. So we kind of wear it on our
ATTENDE ANOTHER COLLEGE
SP: Oh yeah, for sure. My oldest sister went to UT; my other sister went to K-State. But, once they got me going to KU, they were like you're my favorite daughter. All this stuff. I don't know, its exciting and they are excited for me I think too.

WAS THERE EVER ANY FAMILY
PRESSURE TO ATTEND

BP: No, not at all. You have to make your own decision. It was an obvious choice for me in terms of what I was looking for in the quality of the program and the quality of the University. I have enjoyed staying involved in the University in the School of Business and my involvement there. It's a great place.
SP: Waving the wheat is my favorite tradition. It's awesome, its a good time.

Chalk 'n' Rock does sound like a parody of KU chant "Rock Chalk Jayhawk," but the event itself shows a whole different concept. This annual Homecoming event features a variety of student groups drawing a selected design with chalk at their pre-assigned square on Wescoe Beach. The design displays KU's Homecoming theme each year. For this year's theme, the home-coming committee has selected "Roll with the Hawks."
The event focuses as a fun and recreational event, but it often turns into a competition among student groups. In 2013, with the theme of "Jayhawks around the World", Alpha Gamma Delta and Alpha Epsilon Pi took first place in the Greek Life group.
"It's always difficult because there's so much to do in such a short amount of time," said Julie Ferrell, a junior from Tulsa, Okla., and Homecoming coordinator for Alpha Gamma Delta. "We try to be as prepared as
possible with lots of chalk and our design, then set as many people as we can on filling in the outline we draw out."
Ferrell said she specifically searches for artistic people within her sorority to design their sketch. To play along with the theme this year, Alpha Gamma Delta's design is inspired by the "Hungry, Hungry Hippos" game.
---
We're going to follow the theme by doing different kinds of board games for activities. The most difficult part is sketching it out on the actual sidewalks. Once it's sketched out it's easy to fill in."
JEN JURY President of Kappa Delta
"Our design is more along the lines of 'Hungry, Hungry Hawks.'" she said. "The people who designed it are all artistic and have the ability to color in the lines."
Jen Jury, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., and the president
of Kappa Delta, remembers Chalk 'n' Rock as a fun way to connect with other groups. She explained that partnering up with artistic houses makes the event easier on her group, as her sorority doesn't specifically search out artistic members to draw the designs.
"We rally up a bunch of different people," she said. "It was really fun that our partners last year were really artistic," she said.
This year, her sorority plans on incorporating the theme as best as possible.
"We're going to follow the theme by doing different kinds of board games for activities," she said. "The most difficult part is sketching it out on the actual sidewalks. Once it's sketched out it's easy to fill in."
While chalk dust may act as a deterrent for some, Ferrell is excited to get to work on her sorority's design.
"This is my first year as a chair," she said. "I get to participate more in general. I'm excited to get in and get dirty coloring in on Wescoe."

University game of Clue kicks off Homecoming
PATRICK MCFARLAND
@Kansannews
Campus turned into a giant game board Sunday as a part of this year's Homecoming. The KU Alumni Association hosted the event in a fitting start to the week themed "Roll with the Hawks."
The event, which turned the University campus into the set of the classic "who dunnit?" game, took place last night. The game began at Wescoe Hall and students spread around campus in search of the proper suspects.
JOHN GRIFFIN/KANSAN
The Alumni Association thought a University-wide competition would be a good way for current students and alumni to get involved and start off Homecoming Week, said Jacey Krebiel, alumni programs director.
Students participating in a campus-wide game of Clue search for information along Jayhawk Boulevard. The KU Alumni Association hosted the event to kick off Homecoming Week on Sunday.
The rules followed the traditional rules for a game of Clue with some slight crimson and blue differences. First, instead of the usual suspects, teams were selected from various professors and deans of KU departments and schools. Participants also had to select which of the campus buildings various crimes took place in everywhere from Fraser to the Daisy Hill.
"Originally we had difficulty determining how the teams should be arranged," Krehbiel said. "We did not want some organizations to be too large and have an unfair advantage of having more players solving the clues."
Many students took a wide variety of strategies for the event. Some took advantage of an on-foot method to traverse campus. However, one team from Beta Upsilon Chi took a different approach going through campus on bicycles.
---
Plain and simple: we are all here to win and we are going to attack each clue with each of our efforts."
"We all figured that bikes would make the experience much easier," said Nate Smith, a senior from Wichita and a member of Beta Upsilon Chi.
JEREMY GOLDBERG Sophomore from Calabasis
The excitement was not only in the strategy of transportation but how groups were going to attack solving the clues themselves. However, each team was there for the same reason.
"Plain and simple: we are all here to win and we are going to attack each clue with all of our efforts," Jeremy Goldberg, a sophomore from Calabasis, said during the event. "We are going to do whatever it is going to take to win."

Faculty concerned about vague social media policy
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHarford
The University Senate is working to address University employees' questions concerning the Kansas Board of Regents' social media policy. The Senates is drafting a proposal for a procedure for what would happen if a faculty or staff member was reported for improper use of social media.
A major concern is the possible effects the policy could have on employees because of the vague language used in the policy.
“[The policy] makes faculty and staff more cautious about how they use social media in general because it's vague, so there could be self-censorship going on,” said Jonathan Mayhew, president of the University Senate. “The language creates a sense of uncertainty because it
needs to be interpreted."
needs to be interpreted. Michael Walker, a graduate student representative in Student Senate, said the policy endangers the ability of the University to be a place of free-flowing conversation.
"One of the many roles of academia is to have potentially unpleasant discourse going on, and this policy means that we can't do that," Walker said.
The vague language has also created a lot of questions and misunderstandings. Breeze Richardson, the director of communications for the Kansas Board of Regents, said the policy does not apply to scholarly activity or student employees, including GTAs.
"We deliberately excluded all students and student employees."Richardson said.
It also does not apply to faculty and staff when they are speaking as a private citizen.
"[The policy] is not about monitoring every correspondence on every kind of social media of faculty and staff for some violation," Richardson said. "It's for when something happens and there is a need for clarity about what is permitted and what isn't."
"The language creates a sense of uncertainty because it needs to be interpreted."
JONATHAN MAYHEW President of the University Senate
Richardson said the policy actually clarifies existing Supreme Court rulings that give employers the ability to discipline employees for speech that isn't in the interest of the
employer.
"Changing [the policy] or taking it away isn't going to take away the validity of the employer to discipline based on speech," Richardson said.
Mayhew questioned whether the policy was even necessary because existing policies already prohibit many actions that would be considered improper, like sharing confidential information or inciting violence.
"The policy arose out of a tweet by journalism professor David Guth that was so controversial that the Board of Regents felt they needed to act on it, but now that the passions have died down from that incident, do we really need a social media policy at all?" Mayhew said.
Another concern is that the policy will damage the University's ability to recruit faculty
and staff members.
it does damage to the ability to recruit faculty even if it's never used," Mayhew said.
Walker said because of this, students are hurt by the policy as well.
"The policy indirectly influences us because the University is only as good as the faculty we keep and attract," Walker said.
The University Senate procedure should help alleviate these issues by creating a due process. Mayhew said.
"We are trying to introduce safeguards into the procedure so that someone cannot be disciplined or fired immediately for an infraction of the policy, so some due process safeguards would occur before that happened," Mayhew said.
The current draft of the procedure is a set of steps that starts with the Office of the Provost deciding whether
there was improper use, which could be reported by anyone.
Then the case would move to a three-person committee, which would decide if the case was valid. Then a five-person panel would decide the validity of the case and make a recommendation to the chancellor. Finally the chancellor decides what discipline, if any, should be taken.
The details of the policy, like who will decide the committee members for each step and what language should be used, are being discussed with administration and the Office of General Counsel.
"I don't think anyone really wants [the procedure] to be used on a daily basis or even ever." Mayhew said.
The Board of Regents will review the policy in May 2015.

Student group looks into Koch funding influence at the University
Students for a Sustainable Future, a campus organization, have been looking into Charles and David Koch's influence on the University.
The Koch brothers have donated $1.4 million to the University's School of Business since 2001 and the student group has spent the last year looking into any contracts the University may have signed when it agreed to the donation. The group's main focus is creating transparency when it comes to any donations that may come with restrictions.
The students have filed a Kansas Open Records Act request through the Office of the Provost that asks for all correspondence with the Koch brothers — but the University says the records request will cost the students $1,800 according to an OpEd letter published in the Lawrence Journal-World written by Schuyler Kraus, president of Students for a Sustainable Future.
In response, the students began fundraising. They have received $1,350 so far, with the first thousand being donated by the Kansas chapter of the American Association of University Professors, Kraus said. The group has a live petition at un-kochKU.com where people can donate.
"There should be transparency, this is a public institution that's existing for the common good." Kraus said.
Kraus said she started looking into the relationship between the University and the Koch brothers when she noticed how much influence they had at other universities and wondered what their relationship was with the University. Once she discovered that the Kochs donated to the University, she started investigating what kind of stipulations, if any, came with the donations.
"This isn't really about the Kochs specifically, they're just an example," Kraus said. "It's the system that needs to change, not necessarily the donors, it's just their influence."
Kraus hopes to eventually create an online database that publishes any restrictions that a donor requests when they donate money to the University so students, parents, faculty and taxpayers can see.

Phase two of campus landscaping nearly done
"The long-term goal is to recreate the historic tree canopy around Jayhawk Boulevard,"
THE MOTION OF THE CAR
DEREK SKILLETT
@derekskillett
Workers have nearly finished landscaping part of Jayhawk Boulevard, returning it to how it looked in the 1950s.
In the 1950s, Jayhawk Boulevard had a different look. Rows of elm trees formed a shady canopy over the boulevard, providing shade for students and visitors walking across campus. People driving down the boulevard in Chevy convertibles could take in the beauty of campus without being blinded by the sun.
KENNEDY BURGESS/KANSAN
Unfortunately, that period came to an abrupt end. By the mid-1970s, Dutch elm disease destroyed most of the trees lining the boulevard. According to the U.S. Forest Service, the disease can kill individual branches and the entire tree in only a few years. The disease is also spread through beetles. Suddenly, the canopy was gone.
On Friday, Sept. 14, steps to recreate that canopy began, as landscapers took to the boulevard to plant elm trees as part of a four-year project to reconstruct and re-beautify the boulevard. The project, which started last year, should be completed in 2016.
said Paul Graves, the deputy director of Design and Construction Management. "If you look at old photos, it was basically an archway over the boulevard that made it nice and shaded over the summer. It's actually going to be better this time. We're planting a number of species to provide biodiversity. If there is a disease or insect invasion, it reduces the risk of a mass die-off."
Graves outlined a timeline for the landscaping portion of the reconstruction project.
"The landscaping was intentionally held off until this part of year when there would be cooler temperatures," Graves said. "The landscaping should be completed by the middle of October."
"As part of the construction on Jayhawk Boulevard, we did purposefully move bus stops slightly to locations that we think would be more workable," Graves said.
However, landscaping has been affecting where buses have been dropping off students on Jayhawk Boulevard.
Some students have found this movement a little inconvenient.
"It has been taking a bit longer to get to my classes," said
Chelsea Ricke, a senior from Wellington.

Graves said the cost for the landscaping was about $230,000, which was part of the budget. The landscaping is in Phase Two construction, which includes all of the construction efforts that were completed this summer. He said landscaping improvement is funded through KU Endowment, although some components will be paid for with state
Ricke also said it's annoying to have to duck under the caution tape that is set up around the dirt plots on Jayhawk Boulevard. However, Graves said this tape will only be temporary.
"I think the tape will be up until landscaping crews have completed the planting. The tape is up because it's a visual warning to anyone who is walking along to avoid stepping into the shallow ditches that are there along the sidewalk. We don't want anyone to

trip and get hurt." Graves said. "As soon as there's enough visual plant material there to serve as a flag without having the tape, then the tape will come down."
"In the near-term, we expect that Phase Two will look like Phase One now. If you look at the west end of Jayhawk Boulevard, there were trees planted last year and shrubs planted last year and those have filled in fairly well since they were planted," Graves said.

Dole campaigns for Roberts in Senate race
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DODGE CITY — A newly upholstered chair and an American flag dominated Village Square Mall on the west side of Dodge City, the Kansas hometown of Sen. Pat Roberts, who is seeking re-election. But the man who took the seat — and who commanded the audience of more than 200 — wasn't Roberts.
Champions
"He's your friend, my friend, Kansas' friend, and Kansas' greatest senator, Bob Dole." Roberts said.
The Monday campaign event for Roberts, who is locked in a suddenly tough re-election battle in typically Republican Kansas, was more an honor ceremony for Dole, the 91-year-old former Senate majority leader, World War II veteran and 1996 Republican presidential nominee.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Republican Sen. Pat Roberts speaks during a campaign stop at a mall in Dodge City on Monday while former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, right, listens. Three-term incumbent Roberts is facing a challenge from independent candidate Greg Orman.
Dole held court for nearly an hour, reminiscing about his 46 years in Congress, his effort to spearhead the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. and, now and then, Roberts.
"Pat and I have been friends for some time," said Dole. "When I had a problem in the House getting a bill passed, I'd call Pat."
Dole hearkened back to his collaboration with the late Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan to ensure that Social Security remains solvent through 2027, recalling how they agreed: "We can't let this fail. There are 30 million Americans who rely on Social Security."
By contrast, Roberts argued that only a Republican majority could fix the Senate's impasse and referred to Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid as "a dictator."
Republicans need to gain six seats to capture the majority and until this month, Roberts was not considered vulnerable.
But Democrat Chad Taylor's exit from the race — and the rise of independent Greg Orman, a wealthy businessman from the Kansas City suburbs — have suddenly made this
"We have to get the Senate back so we can get things going again." Roberts said.
— have suddenly made this
seat a national target. Republicans have held both Kansas Senate seats since 1938.
Bob Dole is the last of the statesmen," said Floris Jean Hampton, a retired rancher who lives near Dodge City. Asked if she would vote for Roberts, Floris said, "Everything's on the table."
Dole appeared physically frail and his formerly-deep voice sounded hoarse, but he was sharp discussing issues and unleashed at times his characteristically dry sense of humor.
Several attendees said they came to see Dole, who lives in Washington, D.C.
...
Dole, who plans to campaign with Roberts Tuesday, could bestow upon Roberts some of the bipartisan glow that the longtime Kansas leader sought to impart.
"I have a litany of things that Pat's done for Dodge City, but at my age I've forgot them all." Dole said.
Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole speaks during Sen. Pat Roberts' campaign event on Monday in Dodge City. Roberts is campaigning for his fourth term as senator.

Watkins now offering flu vaccinations
ALLISON CRIST
@AllisonCristUDK
To counter the potential spread of the flu among students this fall, Watkins Health Center has begun administering an influenza immunization.
"We are launching flu shots for students, faculty and staff this month," said Douglas Dechaire, director and chief of staff at Watkins.
To encourage convenient
vaccinations, Watkins will not only be accepting appointments and walk-ins, but also setting up clinics around campus.
The shot costs $30 while the nasal flu mist costs $40. These are both payable by check, cash or credit card. Students also have the option to have their insurance billed, or be billed by Watkins.
Associate Director of Student Health Services Diana Malott believes the immunizations
"Seasonal flu is one of the biggest reasons students have to miss class," Malott said. "Getting vaccinated helps protect students from infection and keeps them in class."
are especially important for students.
Last year, there were a multitude of flu cases as a result of not getting the immunization, none of those belonging to the 1,754 who chose to be vaccinated.

While preference or cost may be reasons to choose one over the other, there are important differences between the two types of vaccinations.

Aside from these exceptions, anyone is able to get vaccinated, and are encouraged to do so by Watkins.
Although people who get the vaccination are not likely to get the flu, they are still slightly susceptible.
"The vaccine is 90-95 percent effective to either prevent the illness altogether or minimize the symptoms and duration of the illness," Faust said.
Despite the heightened risk of acquiring the flu if not vaccinated, there is still an alternative treatment.
"If the patient is seen early enough in the course of the illness, Tamiflu, an antiviral medication, can be prescribed," Faust said.
However, students not willing to take that risk will receive plenty of opportunities to get the flu vaccine before it's too late.

Social justice minor proposed by Student Senate
@MirandaDavisUDK
MIRANDA DAVIS
Students looking to learn more about social equity and diversity will potentially have a new minor to choose from as soon as next fall.
Student Senate Chief of Staff Mitchell Cota and Jennifer Hamer, chair of the American Studies department, have written a proposal for a social justice minor. The minor has yet to be approved by the College of Liberal Arts or Sciences or
the Kansas Board of Regents, but if it is,it will be available for students to declare as early as fall 2015.
The minor started as a Senate initiative during election season last spring. Students who declare the minor would take six base hours of credit within American Studies and would focus on examining social problems and social equity based on class, gender, race and sexual orientation.
"It shows that yes, you're learning this in an academic
neid, but it is something that is applicable to various perspectives and different facets of life," Cota said.
JENNIFER HAMER chair of the American Studies department
"The social justice minor is really coming from the students."
they were concerned with issues of equity and fairness and they felt that the student body needed to have an opportunity to learn about fairness and equity," Hamer said.
Hamer said Cota approached her about the minor. He reached out to several different departments, and Hammer thought the minor would fit well within American Studies.
Hamer also said the new minor would be built mostly out of pre-existing courses within the department.
"This is what American Studies does. This is what we emphasize," Hamer said.
Cota, who ran with the Jayhawkers during election season and was later hired as chief of staff once Grow KU won office, made this one of his priorities once in office.
"It was a very pleasant surprise... to hear that students on the campus were interested in a social justice minor, and
The proposal will go to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and then through
several other administrative checkpoints and committees, including the vice provost of undergraduate studies, and if approved, it will go to the Kansas Board of Regents during its December meeting.
"The social justice minor is really coming from the students," Hamer said. "And the students should be applauded for that."

Sexual assault issues set positive change for Kansas' future
W when people ask me where I go to
school, I rarely reply by simply saying, "KU." I am filled with a sense of gratification when I say to them, "The University of Kansas." It is a small thing, but it illustrates the depth of love and pride I feel toward this school.
Recently however, criticisms of the University's handling of sexual assault cases have brought shame to so many who love this school — myself
included. That sense of shame is miniscule in comparison to the feelings that victims of sexual assault feel daily.
The victim's experience has been covered extensively by The University Daily Kansan and nationally as well. It brought me to a crossroads about how I feel and how I should feel about this school; the school I have wanted to attend since I was 5.
My ambivalence, however, was replaced with cautious optimism
when I saw so many of my fellow students speaking out and making sure this story is not swept away.
It is easy to view a separation between the school and us as students. When one thinks of decisions made and actions taken by the University, it might bring to mind administrative offices and people in suits behind closed doors. But if you really think about it, the students are as much a part of the University as anybody
else. That sense of ownership is exactly what causes feelings of shame when things like this happen.
We are in the middle of an unfortunate time at this school. The societal view towards sexual assault is - by my estimation - beyond what any feeling human should find acceptable. The protests, the coverage and the calling out of decision makers by students should never have been necessary, but it was.
I wholeheartedly believe that change can happen and this school can become an example of how to extinguish sexual assault. When that day comes we as students can look on with boastful smiles and say, "Yes. We were a part of that."

Extremism not a good tactic for Brownback and Roberts
Across the country, this midterm election is forecast to be a win for Republicans, with many predicting it may be a big enough haul for them to take control of the U.S. Senate. Outside spectators naturally expected Kansas, a traditionally red state, to be a cakewalk for Governor Sam Brownback and Senator Pat Roberts this November.
This wouldn't be surprising, as Kansas has come a long way in recent years toward cementing its reputation as a deepred state. But people familiar with Kansas know about its tendency to unexpectedly diverge from trends.
Kansas has historically been home to three political parties: the Democrats, and a Republican Party split between the far right and the more robust, moderate Kansans who traditionally have held a strong majority in public office. This middle-of-the-road block has always had a penchant for independent thought and a sometimes surprising zeal for progressivism dating back to the Jayhawkers and the Civil War.

Look no further than the assault on these traditional values to understand why Kansas is a national outlier this year. The
backlash Brownback in particular is suffering is a product of his own extremism. In 2012, he targeted moderate incumbents in his own party during the primary. In an act of personal vendetta, Brownback found extremists to oppose anyone who had challenged his irresponsible policies. Brownback's spending flooded these elections with the help of the deep-pocketed Koch brothers, and in the end, it made a difference.
Roberts has been combatting allegations that he no longer lives in Kansas or spends significant time outside the state he represents. These attacks have stuck, especially after his campaign manager told the media in August that after the primary Roberts would be going "home" for a few weeks to recuperate — in Washington D.C. The three-term incumbent — from a state that hasn't elected a non-Republican Senator since 1932 — has recently found his campaign in jeopardy against Independent challenger Greg Orman. Roberts was so
worried at the recent developments in his race that he overhauled the personnel on his campaign and brought in two national experts from Washington D.C. Ironically, it's now D.C. insiders, not his Kansas team, appealing to Kansans about Roberts Kansan-ness.
Voters appear to be responding by gravitating toward more traditional moderates. Paul Davis, Brownback's opponent and former Kansas House of Representatives Minority Leader, has promised a return to common sense while preaching an ethic of working across the aisle. With Kansans desperate for an end to destructive and petty behavior, both Davis and Orman offer pragmatic solutions. Nov. 4 is poised to be an election of retribution against extremism for violating Kansas' time-honored commitment to reasonable governance.

How do you express your creativity?
Unleash creativity to unlock full potential
People often say to me, "I am terrible at art, I can't even draw a stick figure." I shudder when I hear it. This is the worst kind of phrase that could spout from one's lips. Not only do you doubt any unique artistic ability you may possess, but regions of your brain are untaptied by imaginative stimulation.
Creativity is an additive process by nature. Therefore, it is natural and beneficial for you to experiment in creation even though it might seem unimportant or trivial to you at this time.
No matter how many times you fail to create something beautiful, or have great success, the process of creation serves you well — mentally, emotionally and socially. An enjoyable task clears the mind, expresses emotions fully and allows others to take part in what you would like to share.
Emma LeGault, editor-in-chief elegault@kansan.com
Acts like drawing, singing, sculpting, playing and wondering direct your thoughts toward pleasant and interesting ideas. They also provide a bright spot of paint on a day with a rather blank background. Creating something authentic such as laughter, music or art can provide people with their favorite experiences. We should seek to increase the number

of these experiences. We would be much happier, healthier and patient individuals.
Allow yourself to get your hands dirty or venture into the unknown parts of your imagination by doodling in the side margins of your paper. Take a ceramic or printmaking course. Snap pictures of President Obama eating hot dogs. Whatever floats your crazy little boat is absolutely necessary for your personal growth.
Once the things you create begin to affect others in a positive way, keep creating. There is always more to learn and more progress to be made. Remember that you can have fun, improve your artistic ability and your cognitive function all at the same time.

Boxing club waits on approval for new outreach program
BROOK DRIVE
RFN IIPOWIT7/KANSAN
KU Boxing Club president Ricardo Lopez trains a member during practice. Lopez is in the process of getting approval for a new youth community outreach program that the club is trying to implement.
Since taking over as president of the KU Boxing Club, Ricardo Lopez, a senior from Paola, has made it his goal to do more than practice boxing and give back to the community. Lopez has been working on starting several other programs such as university-level competitions and fundraisers, as well as introducing a new youth community outreach program.
MINSEON KIM
@minseonkim94
The program is still in the approval process and is expecting to hear back within a week. As he awaits the result of the approval process, he said he is excited to start something new that would improve the connection between sports clubs and the community, something that Lopez said is currently lacking.
"So many other programs on campus have specific hours that they have to volunteer, and sports programs, they don't really have to do any of that. They just have to fill out the proper paper work on time," he said.
Once the program is approved, the two-hour long weekly practices will dedicate the second hour to teaching tailored lessons for middle and high school students participating in the program. Lopez
said that the program would not only introduce a younger demographic to boxing but also show youth that there are various levels and forms of education.
The program is taking time to be approved because no one has tried to engage youth with this type of outreach program before. Lopez said.
Lopez said that he was bullied
as a kid and that boxing helped him establish a sense of confidence. The comic book "Hajime no ippo" was his first introduction to boxing. He said that he could relate to the comic book character because he had been picked on as well. He said he had seen the character grow and thought he should give boxing a try, too.
Lopez said he believes sports have much more meaning than just getting physically fit.
"I think sports, all around, can really affect people," he said. "Same with arts. Sports, in my opinion, is an art. It's an art form. It takes work, it takes knowledge, it takes a lot, but it gets you a lot."
Kelsey Hitz, a new member to the club and a junior from
With his personal experience,
Overland Park, said she thinks boxing can positively affect people in more ways than just improving health and fitness.
"I think it's pretty beneficial for personal security, just kind of being able to defend yourself" she said.
Nick Love, a freshman from Overland Park, is also a new member to the club. He said he started boxing with no prior experience and wanted to try something new.
Lopez said seeing the boxing club coaches drive all the way from Topeka to Lawrence to teach KU students boxing for a few hours a week inspired him to start the program.
"They just do that just because they care. And I think that we should do that [through the program] because we care," Lopez said.
"My hope is that once I start it, someone else will not only be able to continue it and that other spots clubs will start opening their doors, too," Lopez said.
KU Boxing Club practices every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 p.m., and on Sundays at 2 p.m. in the Robinson Center.

Bidenties event celebrates Bi Visibility Day
When Roze Brooks arrived at the University of Missouri- Kansas City to obtain her undergraduate degree in fall of 2011, she was drawn to the LGBTQ community on campus. Now, Brooks is a first-year graduate student at KU and coordinator at the KU Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity.
Brooks is hosting an event tonight, Sept. 23, called "Bidenties." The event will celebrate Bi Visibility day, a day geared towards drawing attention and education to the bisexual community by providing students an opportunity to get involved in the LGBTQ community.
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@mariss193
"I got drawn into the hole of acceptance and advocacy and it kind of stuck," she said.
The event will include an interactive discussion and activities centered around Bi Visibility Day. Spectrum KU and Students United for Reproductive and Gender Equity (SURGE) are co-hosting the event along with the KU Center for Sexuality and Gender Diversity.
At the event, the discussions will center around the topics of lesbian, gay and bisexuality. Brooks said the term "bisexual" is associated with ambiguity and stigmas and people who identify as bisexual get slack from inside the LGBTQ community and outside of the LGBTQ community.
After the discussion, Brooks has planned an activity for everyone in attendance to take the Kinsey Scale, test to determine a person's spot on the scale ranging from heterosexuality to homosexuality. Once the
"There is this stigma sometimes about bisexuals, they do not fit in because part of them is straight in some gay and lesbian peoples' mind," said Mitchell Cota a senior from Leawood and president of Spectrum KU. "Bisexuality week in general is very important because [bisexuals] sometimes get pushed under the rug. Bisexuals do not always get a forum to discuss this information. The forum will be very healthy for them to address this issue."
papers are turned in, Brooks will shuffle the papers and hand them out anonymously. The participants will then stand in a line depending on their anonymous number on the scale.
Rachel Hagan, a senior from Tecumseh and vice president of Spectrum KU, said all terms related to bisexuality should be discussed as they are often associated with harmful stereotypes such as greed or promiscuity.
"If you have gone through discrimination based on gender or sexuality, a part

of the healing process is extending a hand to people going through similar things," Hagan said. "It helps you feel hopeful again and believe the world can be a just place, or we can make it a just place."
- Edited by Miranda Davis
Brooks has been a participant in two different Bidentities events in the past and said hosting it at the University would provide a great opportunity for students to open up. Brooks said she felt that she was a missing piece, and that having worked at both UMKC and the University helps her feel prepared to plan this event.
"I felt like there was a gap I could fill because I was able to adapt and present this information in a way that was effective for students," Brooks said. She said the fact that the event happens to coincide with national Bi Visibility day adds importance to the event.

"I'm really far ahead in math and science and I just kind of got tired of doing calculus so I was like screw it, I'm going to take art classes." Thierry said of his high school experience. "It was a hobby more so than a career choice and I've decided it's what I want to do because I'll be happy doing it."
The University's art and design graduate students are displaying their diverse array of art at a two-part exhibit, currently on display at the Art and Design building. From drawing and ceramics to weaving and tie-dye, students have the opportunity to show off their projects that required lots of time and hard work.
Thierry, who has a degree in ceramics and painting, said he will be expressing his fascination with drinking whiskey by displaying his collection of handmade ceramic drinking containers at the second part of the exhibition on Oct. 5.
Alex Thierry, a graduate student from St. Louis, said his love for art and design began when he was a rebellious high schooler who felt the urge to explore the world outside of typical academic classes.
sculptured pots and it usually takes about three to four hours to make one. Thierry plans to finish his graduate studies here while figuring out where he wants to go with his work after school. He also plans on expanding on different art processes.
Shelby Burchett, a graduate student from Kansas City, Mo., practices a different form of art with her background in textiles. Burchett said she used to be a heavy weaver, but is now experimenting with other art forms.
"I always liked drawing and art when I was younger, it was kind of that thing where I started doing it and couldn't stop."
Burchett has been working on a polymers-based substance that forms a sort of "goop" an art form that Burchett hopes to bring to more people's attention by showing it off at the art and design exhibition.
RUBEN CASTILLO Graduate student from Dallas
"I'm not really sure where it's
going yet, but I think it's such a physically interesting subject," Burchett said. "It sort of has a will of its own. I'm really interested in things that have their own life, like no matter what I do it's going to have its own will so I've been playing with different set ups on how to show it off and get people interested in it."
"Eventually one day I hope to bring all these ideas of textile and science together," Burchett said.
Aside from exploring new ideas, Burchett teaches a tie-dye and resist print class where they do shibori, an art form similar to professional tie-yding.
Ruben Castillo, a graduate student from Dallas, will be displaying his personal work with intaglio printing, a form of printmaking, at the exhibition. Castillo said he has always had a love for drawing and decided to explore it further when he was introduced to etching and intaglio printing.
"I got my undergrad in printmaking and I focus specifically on etching and intaglio where you put a ground on a plate and draw through that ground and etch it and you can create reproductions," Castillo said. "It's an
old process but it's still very effective as an art medium."
Castillo's interest in this art form sparked when he was in high school. One of his teachers assigned a project that involved a dry point on plexiglass. He was given a collageless image and then was told to put clear plexi over it so he could then scratch through it with a needle.
"I always liked drawing and art when I was younger, it was kind of that thing where I started doing it and couldn't stop," Castillo said. "Print making was that place where I could not only more drawing but learn skills in etching and lithography, as well as different kinds of printing."
Castillo is currently working with the concept of home to create his art. He said he is in the midst of drawing his apartment with the fascination of the space humans create for themselves.
The two-part exhibition started this past Sunday, Sept. 21. The visual arts students will display their pieces in the gallery on the third floor of the Art & Design building through Oct. 3, and for a second showing from Oct. 5 through Oct. 17.

Burma prints from 1800s on display
ASSOCIATED PRESS
As the British Empire spread in the 19th century, a young Englishman used his camera to chronicle the ancient cultures of India and Burma.
Roughly 60 prints, and two rare negatives, of those efforts are on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. in "Captain Linnaeus Tripe: Photographer of Indian and Burma, 1852-1860."
Linneaus Tripe was the sixth son, of 12 children, of a middle-class family. He joined the East India Company in 1839 as a Captain, and was sent to India as an officer in the 12th Madras Native Infantry.
The East India Company had started as a trading company but ended up the effective sovereign by forming alliances with local leaders and using its military to put down native rebellions.
Senior Curator Sarah Greenough, head of the Department of Photographs at the National Gallery, says Tripe discovered a "country and a people almost entirely under British reign."
He traveled broadly, drawing, mapping and "by the mid-1860s had photographed and mapped India's cities, monuments and architectural sites as well as its people and terrain," says Greenough.
The photos served as raw intelligence information for the Company in administrating the area, construction and the study of art, religion and history.
Photography was not easy during that period. Tripe had brought a large camera with him that made 15-by-12-
inch salt paper negatives that demanded long exposures but where more tolerant of the hot, sultry climate then other photographic processes. Two of the negatives are on display in the National Gallery's exhibit.
The Indian rebellion of 1857-1858 marked the end of the East India Company's dominance. The British government took over. Tripe's job fell to cost cutting and he returned England in 1860, unable to finish his last project, nine portfolios of his photography, which would have been 17,000 prints.
While he made one more trip to India in 1863, he retired a decade later "discouraged" that his work wasn't appreciated, and died in 1902. His negatives went to family members and his portfolios languished in government offices and the archives of the East India Company at the British Library.
In 1855 he set up a printing studio in India to create portfolios of 120 of his photos. He made 50 copies of the portfolios that he sent to various agencies in the British government and India. Unfortunately, not many have survived.
"They were often the first photographs ever taken of these (palaces and temples) and thus they provided completely different kind of information than anything made before," says Greenough.
They were also retouched to bring out details. Tripe would paint in foliage and tree trunks to "give them shape."

The most encouraging part of the entire nonconference season was that the team played like a team, which is incredibly encouraging for fans who are looking at the best team the program has had in the Charlie Weis era.
However, it makes difficult to pick an MVP of the nonconference season. Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart has been underwhelming, neither De'Andre Mann nor Corey Avery have stood out individually and, unfortunately, the entire front seven isn't considered "one player."
The Jayhawk MVP so far in the season is the anchor of the Kansas secondary, which has allowed just 7.4 yards per pass and five touchdowns.
The vote goes to senior cornerback Dexter McDonald. The Kansas City, Mo., native was named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Second Team after starting all 12 games at cornerback last season and was ranked eighth in the Big 12 in pass breakups.
This season, however, McDonald seems even more dominant. He has seven tackles and two interceptions
— equaling his total from last year — and has helped the jayhawk defense shut down Duke quarterback Anthony Boone, who is 42nd in the country with 876 passing yards. He threw just 180 yards against Kansas, his lowest total of the season.
None of the Duke wide receivers tallied more than 80 yards against Kansas, and only one opposing receiver has totaled more than that so far this season. McDonald looked out of place at times against SEMO receiver Paul McRoberts in the first week, but has improved every game since. His tackles have been cleaner, his coverage has been tighter and his hands look better than ever.
He did not pick off a pass after his two-interception performance against SEMO, and that's not a bad thing. Very simply, opposing coaches and quarterbacks have taken notice of the senior, and are reluctant to throw his way. For cornerbacks, it's about what they prevent by being present and guarding the opponent's most dangerous receiving threat. Who's to say Duke wouldn't have defeated Kansas by 60 had McDonald not been on the field?
McDonald's showing in the nonconference part of the season is encouraging to say the least. Among Kansas' upcoming opponents is Baylor and the nation's third-best passing attack. In a game against that kind of offensive threat, the man who can force Baylor's receiver K.D. Cannon out of the game becomes more valuable than any offensive option.

Kansas' nonconference schedule has come to an end, and there aren't too many bright spots. The Jayhawks defeated Southeast Missouri State and Central Michigan at home, and Kansas lost at Duke in a blowout.
One bright spot in the Kansas offense, has to be senior wide receiver Tony Pierson, who leads the Jayhawks with 124 yards receiving on nine receptions.
A lot of talk prior to the start of the season surrounded the prospect that Pierson wouldn't come back from a season-ending concussion he suffered against Texas Tech last season. Pierson has proved that he's reshaped to the speedster that he was recruited to be.
Coach Charlie Weis said the plan is to use Pierson, who was
converted to a wide receiver from a running back two seasons ago, as a receiver first, but give Pierson chances to make plays from the backfield.
Pierson has six carries for 121 yards through the three nonconference games, which is a 20-yard average per carry. Though 74 yards came on one play, Pierson can make a big play happen out of the backfield on any given play.
Pierson is tied with freshman Corey Avery with one rushing touchdown through the first three games, and Avery had 40 more carries than Pierson, as well.
The Kansas offense is based on the speed and the positioning of players in space to create big play opportunities. For example, in the first play of the game against Central Michigan, Pierson motioned from the slot into the backfield and took a handoff 74 yards for a touchdown. The handoff gave Pierson space to make a big play, and Pierson used his speed to get the edge and ran past the whole Central Michigan secondary.

nonconference games, Pierson has a 61-yard touchdown catch against SEMO and a 74-yard touchdown run against CMU. Pierson makes big plays through the air and on the ground.
Some people would question Pierson's consistency because of the performance he had against Duke — he caught just two balls for 17 yards, which is a game-low in both categories in the season for him.
But when you look at the rest of the offense against Duke, none of the playmakers came out. Senior wide receivers Nick Harwell and Justin McCay caught a combined four balls for 17 yards. Pierson had the same amount receiving yards against Duke than Harwell and McCay.
Bautista hits home run, Blue Jays beat Mariners 14-4
You might think the offense revolves around sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart. But when a team needs to focus on a player with top-end speed like Pierson, he resides as the biggest threat and thus the offensive MVP through the first three nonconference games.
TORONTO — Jose Bautista homered and reached base four times, J.A. Happ won for the first time in four starts and the Toronto Blue Jays dealt a blow to Seattle's wild card hopes, routing the Mariners 14-4 Monday night.
Bautista went 3 for 3 with a walk and drove in two runs before getting the rest of the night off. His
solo homer off the facing of the second deck in the fifth, against Mariners reliever Tom Wilhelmsen, was his 35th.
Kevin Pillar hit a two-run homer and Anthony Gose added a solo blast as the Blue Jays handed Seattle its third straight defeat. The 14 runs were the most by a Mariners opponent this season.
Seattle gained ground on Kansas City in the wild-card race before taking the field when the Royals
lost to Cleveland in a game that had been suspended from Aug. 31.
Not much went right for the Mariners after that.

Associated Press
Happ (10-11) allowed an RBI double by Robinson Cano in the first, and Kyle Seager's solo in the sixth, but was otherwise sharp. The left-hander walked one and struck out five in seven innings for his first victory since Aug. 31.

BIG 12 NOTEBOOK

Kansas' weekend win pushes the team ahead of Iowa State
With many teams inactive last weekend due to bye weeks and only one conference matchup, the conference looks almost identical to last week. The one change was Kansas moving up one spot in the Big 12 rankings after its 24-10 victory against Central Michigan.
Kansas State started off the week for the conference with a near upset against championship contender the Auburn Tigers. The Wildcats suffered a heartbreaking 20-16 defeat after committing key turnovers — something that's very uncharacteristic for the Bill Snyer-led team.
In the lone conference matchup, Oklahoma avoided the near road upset to West Virginia. After being deadlocked at the half, the Sooners needed a huge second half from a freshman running back to remain unscathed.
BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS
The Sooners avoided the near upset with the help of freshman running back Samaje Perine. Perine ran for four touchdowns, three in the second half as the Sooners came away victorious on the road.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Forgive me, but soccer just is not as relevant in this country as the NFL, so that's part of it. But then it's also the imagery. The idea of a big, strong man hitting a defenseless woman does something to us that a woman hitting a woman does not do."
— LZ Granderson, CNN contributor and ESPN writer

THE MORNING BREW
Are women being punished less in professional sports?
The public would be outraged if they found out Ray Rice was reinstated into the league, Adrian Peterson was welcomed back to the Minnesota Vikings and Greg Hardy was relieved of his 60-day suspension. So why is there no outrage when Hope Solo continues to play for the women's national soccer team that represents our country?
The New York Times reported that Hope Solo, one of the biggest stars in women's sports, is facing domestic violence charges. Solo stands accused of punching her sister and 17-year-old nephew at a party over the summer.
Thursday night, Solo led the United States women's national soccer team to a 4-0 victory against Mexico in Rochester. N.Y.
On Thursday, Solo was given the captain's armband because she set the team's career record for shutouts in its

previous game. That's like giving Adrian Peterson the game ball for his next 100-yard game after being accused of child abuse, as pointed out by the New York Times.
So, what's the difference? Why do we turn a blind eye to Solo, but call for arrests and suspensions for Rice, Peterson and Hardy? There is obviously a flaw in our system, and it's finally catching the public's attention.
The Charlotte Observer reports Hardy, a Carolina Panthers defensive end
was found guilty in July of assaulting his ex-girlfriend and threatening to kill her. Hardy was given a 60-day suspended sentence and 18 months of probation for his charges,

his 4-year-old son in May. Peterson said he meant only to discipline his son and not hurt him.
When Solo punched her sister and nephew it is unlikely that she was not trying to hurt them. It also is assumed Solo was under the influence.
Solo's future looks bright with the U.S. women's national soccer team while Peterson is trying to come to terms with his 2014 season ending and an uncertain future in the NFL.
CNN contributor and ESPN writer LZ Granderson said the reason Solo is not getting as much attention from the media is because she's a girl and she plays soccer. Granderson also said sports writers should stop "hero-worshipping" athletes for their on-the-field performance. Athletes
are fun to watch on the field, but we need to remember they aren't saving lives out there.
Just as Title IX evened the playing field for women in sports, their actions should be held to the same scrutiny as their male counterparts.

"We were physical on offense, defense, special teams," Roethlisberger said.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Ben Roethlisberger spent Sunday night relishing in the return of Steelers football.
And dominating, too, in a 37-19 victory over Carolina on Sunday night.
Roethlisberger finished 22 of 30 for 196 yards, and Brown had 90 yards receiving on 10 catches to help the Steeleers snap Carolina's regular-season home winning streak at eight.
Roethlisberger threw two 7-yard touchdown passes to Antonio Brown, LeVeon Bell ran for 147 yards and Pittsburgh outrushed the Panthers 264-42.
LeGarrette Blount ran for 118
yards, marking the first time since 1986 the Steelers have had two 100-yard rushers in a game.
"That's awesome," Roethlisberger said. "I'm sure that Steeler fans back home are going crazy because we ran the ball for 100 and had two guys do it. That's just awesome. I think it shows what we can do if we put our minds to it."
The Steelers had gone eight quarters without a touchdown before Roethlisberger's two scoring strikes in the third. They were set up by Cam Newton's fumble and Bell's 81-yard run.
The Steelers lost defensive starters like Taylor, Ryan Shazier and Jarvis Jones to injuries. Taylor has a broken right forearm, while the others will be reevaluated Monday.
Newton finished 24 of 35 for 250 yards, but was a non-factor running the ball with 7 yards on two carries. He was only sacked three times, but faced heavy pressure from the Steelers most of the night.
Newton, who broke his ribs in the preseason, took a forearm to the midsection from Shazier while running out of bounds and then was driven into the ground by Cameron Haywood when he came free on a stunt on back-to-back plays near the end of the first half.
Later, Newton took a shot to the knees from Jason Worlids and came up limping.
"We didn't do a good job running the ball," Pro Bowl center Ryan Kalil said. "That hurt us. We've got to be more consistent protecting Cam. I don't

think we did a good job of that and it showed. You can't have guys, especially those guys, hitting your quarterback and having free shots. And he took a lot of them tonight."
Newton said after the game he felt fine.
Brown scored on the next play.
Pittsburgh hadn't scored a touchdown since the second quarter of their season opener before Roethlisberger connected with Brown in the back corner of the end zone following a colossal error by the Panthers. The score came after Carolina's Wes Horton was called for encoachment on a fourth-and-4 field-goal attempt, giving the Steelers a first down.
The Steelers led 9-3 at halftime behind Shaun Suisham's field goals of 42, 24, and 45 yards.
"I just think collectively we kind of beat ourselves," Horton said.
After Bell broke free up the middle for an 81-yard burst on his next drive. Brown struck again getting free while running across the field at the goal line for another 7-yard score that put Pittsburgh up 23-6.
The Panthers were looking for their first 3-0 start since 2003 — the year they went to the Super Bowl.
Newton answered with a 37-yard TD pass to Greg Olsen, but the Steelers onslaught continued.
Pittsburgh's Shamarko Thomas stripped Philly Brown on a punt return in the fourth quarter and Robert Golden came up with the loose ball in the end zone for a touchdown.
Blount put the game away with an 8-yard touchdown run, running through Thomas DeCoud at the 4 and dragging him into the end zone in a moment that captured the Steelers' dominance.

COMMENTARY Jayhawks need to stick with offense that works
By Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL
Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart was 11-for-27 for 89 vards with
two interceptions in the loss to Duke, and some Kansas fans panicked, calling for Cozart's job, and Weis, too. Just a week later against Central Michigan, Cozart completed 23 of his 33 attempted passes for 226 yards, two touchdowns, and a fluky interception. But the adjustments made between the Duke loss and the Central Michigan win were drastic.
Nothing changed for Cozart between the games, though. He didn't magically acquire an accurate arm after consistently missing marks against Duke. His receivers weren't getting more open than they were in the previous game.
The coaching personnel simply adapted to the strengths of their offense: the skill position players. It's exactly what new offensive coordinator John Reagan said he would do in his introductory press conference in February.
Snort, intermediate throws were the game plan for the Jayhawks on Saturday. And should be forward, too. Get those skill players — Tony Pierson, Nick Harwell, Jimmy Mundine and Justin McCay
— into space, get the ball in their hands and let them make plays. No deep balls necessary.
"In the first half we played very conservative, but almost every pass we were throwing was of the short variety because we want to get (Harwell's) confidence back," Weis said. "He completed almost all of his passes, then in the second half we felt good enough about letting him throw the ball downfield a little bit."
The Kansas City Chiefs thrived in 2013 despite quarterback Alex Smith's incompetent downfield accuracy. Smith finished the season with the lowest average depth of target (the yards the ball traveled in the air from the line of scrimmage to the receiver's hands) of any quarterback who played 25 percent of his team's snaps, according to ProFootballFocus.com.
The short-passing, dink-and-dunk style of play is nothing new or innovative for Reagan, as it's being used in the NFL every day, even by some of the most successful teams.
His job in the short game alone was nearly enough to get the Chiefs a playoff spot.
Though all three of Cozart's passing touchdowns have been 30 yards or longer, none have traveled more than 15 yards in the air before reaching their target. He put the ball in a position for the receiver to make moves and reach the promised land.
If the Jayhawks want to continue to see success from Cozart, it'll have to be through an offense which he can consistently complete passes in. As of now, I'll have to be the dink-and-dunk. It's the only way the receivers have a chance to succeed.

According to junior forward Ashley Williams, last season could be summed up into one word: frustrating. The layhawks went a disappointing 7-11-2, and while Williams said the team had plenty of talent, it was unable to click during games.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
The Jayhawks went 2-5-1 during conference play and finished eighth in the Big 12. This placement qualified them to play in the conference tournament in November, but Kansas dropped its first game and ended the season with a dissatisfying 2-0 loss to West Virginia.
"We weren't good enough," coach Mark Francis said. "We needed to do better."
Change. In order to prevent deja vu this season, Francis knew drastic changes had to be made to the program. The combination of a different
the soccer team is now an impressive 9-1 after playing 10 nonconference games so far this season. Prior to this past weekend, the team was undefeated in the longest winning streak in program history at 8-0, and had yet to trail in a single game. At the pace the Jayhawks are going, whispers of a Big 12 championship and an NCAA tournament appearance have started, and Francis said the team aims to achieve both these goals.
Williams said the night-andday difference between the two squads is very apparent, so the question remains: what happened between last November and now?
strength program during the spring, longer training in the summer and a different practice schedule and structure attributed heavily to the team's success thus far in the season.
"We had two goals coming into this season," Francis said.
"Win the Big 12 and make another run at the NCAA tournament ... Collectively, the Big 12 conference is in good shape, and it will be very competitive. There will be no easy games. All games will be tough."
Also contributing to the equation for success is the experience on the Jayhawk roster. Nine starters reappeared in Kansas uniform this fall, and both Francis and Williams agree the experience of the team has made an impact.
"It's been huge," Francis said.
"We're looking to make program history, so hopefully we accomplish that and do a lot better than we did last year."
ASHLEY WILLIAMS Junior forward
"The returning players, especially our senior class, have done a really good job of infiltrating the new kids into our system. We have eight freshmen this year and a lot of those guys are playing a lot of minutes, so it's important that they fit in and understand what the culture is. I think the returning players have done a great job doing that."
This mixing pot of both experienced players and eager freshmen has led to a new mentality. Williams said the team's attitude is one of their biggest strengths, and is completely different compared to last season.
"We have a lot of fighters on our team and it's awesome," Williams said. "It makes you not feel so crazy, like you're the only one who cares or the only one who is fighting."
"We have to keep doing what we're doing," Williams said.
After losing so many close games in 2013, Williams said Kansas hit the pitch each game ready to compete. While there is still work to be done, Williams said the team is meshing together well, sharing the ball and winning games it couldn't last season.
"We're looking to make program history, so hopefully we accomplish that and do a lot better than we did last year."

"We've played some tough teams, and we have tough teams yet to play," Francis said. "I've coached successful teams before, and winning is more fun than losing for everyone. It's been fun so far, we just have to keep it going."
Francis acknowledges the early success doesn't give Kansas an excuse to let up its intensity. He agreed with Williams, and said the team must continue to execute as it has been while improving and preparing to tackle each game.

Cozart, Swoopes to clash in Big 12 matchup

For the Kansas Jayhawks, senior Jake Heaps was supposed to be taking the snaps for a veteran Kansas team on the cusp of its first bowl appearance since 2008. But after a rough 2013, a change of offensive coordinator and a new spread offense ill-suited to his abilities, Heaps transferred to Miami, Fla., leaving the quarterback position vacant.
Neither Montell Cozart nor Tyrone Swoopes were supposed to be here — at least this early.
So far this season, Cozart has shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in his last outing in the 24-10 victory over Central Michigan. On Saturday, Cozart went 23 of 33 for 226 yards and two touchdowns. One of his best attributes, displayed throughout the afternoon, is his ability to extend plays with his legs and find open receivers when the play breaks down.
Cozart, a sophomore from Roeland Park, excelled in the offense during the offseason and separated himself from the rest of the pack by the end of the spring. After starting four games in 2013, Cozart was named the 2014 starting quarterback heading into the summer.
"They had a big win over Central Michigan," Texas coach Charlie Strong said. "They did a really great job
of running the football. Their quarterback is an unbelievable athlete.
But Cozart's 2014 season has not been free of struggles. In the 41-3 loss to Duke, Cozart completed just 11 of 27 passes for 89 yards and threw two costly interceptions.
For the Texas Longhorns, senior David Ash was supposed to be leading the charge, but a series of concussions forced him to step away from football. In lieu of Ash, the Longhorns will lean on sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes as they have since their Week 2 loss versus BYU, 41-7.
"The Saturday night after the Duke game, I felt that we needed a plan to get the kid's confidence up," Kansas coach Charlie Weis said. "Things didn't go very well, so by the time he got in Sunday, I said let's get him going. One stat that most people didn't really notice, the kid completed (about half) of his third-down conversions (against CMU). Quick passes are a good way to get a quarterback's confidence going. When it's all said and done, you have to throw the ball down the field."
Although Swoopes is 0-2 in starts this season, Weis says the Whitewright, Texas, native has a high ceiling. Swoopes went a glistening 24 of 34 for 196 yards and two touchdowns in the Longhorns' close loss to No. 12 UCLA, 20-17, on Sept. 13.
"He's a big dude," Weis said
of Swoopes. "He's athletic, he runs very well. You'll see a lot of their passes have been of the short variety and bootlegs. He'll continue to get better and better."
"The running backs are young and they've been forced into action, but if you look at them they are very explosive, and they can get outside to the edge, and they can get downhill." Strong said. "When they're forced into action like that sometimes you don't know if they are ready, but they are ready."
With the beginning of conference play this Saturday, and homecoming in Lawrence, gameday will have a new feel to it.
As the two quarterbacks continue to develop, they'll enjoy some nice talent around them. Both coaches pointed to strong supporting casts for the young quarterbacks. Strong mentioned the explosiveness of the receivers and the aggressiveness of the defense but was also impressed by Kansas' young running backs.
"For us, the sky was falling," Weis said about the Duke loss. "In the two years I've been here, we haven't finished a team off in the fourth quarter. This is new territory for our team."

Students asked, and Student Health Services answered; Massage therapy services will now officially be available for both students and staff at Watkins Health Center.
Diana Malott, associate director of Student Health Services, said staffat Watkins started asking students last semester about expanding the medical services they offer. Massage services were
at the top of the list.
"We just want to answer the student voice," said Heidi Garcia, the program director for Student Health Services. "We are always listening, and trying to serve students all of their health care needs under one roof."
To follow through, Watkins recently hired Tina Carson as its massage therapist.
After 16 years of working in fitness centers, spas and private practices, Carson wanted to find a place that would allow her to really
make a difference.
Massage services at Watkins will also be offered
"I want to help students take better care of themselves," Carson said. "Stress is a major issue for everyone, but especially university students. Massage is a great way to combat this excessive stress."
In order to ensure that busy students take full advantage of the massage services at Watkins, Carson will be available for convenient 15-minute appointments, as well as longer appointments ranging up to an hour. Students and staff can choose a wide variety of massage options, including Swedish, therapeutic, deep tissue, aromatherapy and many more.
To Carson, massage therapy is a form of preventative health care.
"Nobody questions other people when they go to the gym," Carson said. "Massage therapy is the same thing—people taking care of their
at a reduced price, compared to other businesses, Garcia said.
"Students won't have to go off campus to a salon or spa," Garcia said. "We are offering this right here, and our services are more than likely cheaper than alternative options. Additionally, students who have already paid their health fee will be getting a discounted price."

Carson also wants to ensure that hesitance isn't an issue when it comes to utilizing the massage
"Everybody could benefit from a massage," Carson said. "In the past, I've known people that were apprehensive because of self-consciousness or modesty issues; however, everyone should know that it's a health care service. It's relaxing and medical and not to mention private."

Chabad offers holiday services
ALANA FLINN
@Alana_Finn
Chabad at the University will host celebrations for Rosh Hashanah Wednesday through Friday in an effort to provide free services for hundreds of students during the Jewish holiday season. The first event will be a service welcoming the New Year at 7 p.m. today.
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and will begin after sundown Wednesday and will continue through nightfall Friday. This is the end of the 5,775 year on the Jewish calendar.
One of the main difficulties for many students looking to celebrate the holiday is cost of services. Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel said Chabad's event is made affordable for students.
"We want every single Jewish person to feel like they belong." Tiechtel said. "There should be no barriers standing between people and their beliefs. We don't want students to have to sacrifice money to be with their friends and family. We choose not to charge in order to make [services] as accessible, relevant and engaging as possible."
"I think it's really great that the Rabbi is so accepting of everybody's Jewish backgrounds and that the important thing isn't how much you know, but just that you want to be there with other Jews celebrating." Engelson said. "That's the most important part, experiencing and enjoying together, not how religious you have been in the past or your financial background."
Matt Engelson, a freshman from Dallas, appreciates the relaxed atmosphere of the holiday services.
Jewish Day of Atonement. This day is considered the holiest on the Jewish calendar and is honored through fasting, prayer and personal reflection.
Chabad will also host morning and evening services Oct. 3 and 4 to celebrate Yom Kippur, the
Tiechtel said the coming weeks of activities are his favorite.
"My favorite part without a question is getting to meet KU students who don't regularly engage with their own Jewish community," Tiechtel said. "I love meeting fellow Jewish people so when so many new students come for the holidays, it brings me great joy. It's a very powerful time in the Jewish calendar and it is a spiritually energizing time to think about the past year and how we want to grow."
Engelson is looking forward to new holiday traditions at the University, since he can't be with his family.

Law professor and panelist Corey Yung said the term
The University uses a standard of evidence referred to as a "preponderance of the evidence," meaning it is more than likely that the violation, an assault in this case, occurred. This means that anything with over a 50-percent chance of occurring is considered a high enough standard to find a student in violation of policy.

Administrators address sexual assault procedure questions
MIRANDA DAVIS
@MirandaDavisUDK
Representatives from the University's Office of IOA, the Emily Taylor Center and the School of Law spoke at an open forum about sexual assault at the KU Law School yesterday. The forum, titled "Where Do We Go from Here?" ,let the panel answer questions about procedure and also let law students ask questions.
The panel started with defining sexual assault, nonconsensual sex and consent.
The University's use of the term non-consensual sex, as opposed to the term rape has created outrage with a lot of students. Jane McQueeny, director of IOA, said the term is derived from a different standard of evidence.
The University uses the term "non-consensual sex" because the burden of proof is much lower than in a criminal court case.
The panel also discussed the typical procedure students will go through if they choose to file a report with the IOA.
"It's not about applying the criminal law to the University context, it's about looking at things through a Student Code of Conduct," Yung said.
"It's not meant to diminish the crime, it's just the language that's been used in this area," Yung said.
McQueeney said if someone is accused of sexual assault, the IOA cannot compel them to speak with the office, but no matter what, the office always makes a decision.
The IOA has 60 days to investigate a report, and it can also take measures on campus to separate someone who files a complaint with whom it is filed against.

"I think the bottom line is there's always a degree of upset trauma, disorientation. It's such a difficult, such an intimate crime and violation that I think we can be certain that when anybody is on the receiving end it's very disruptive," Rose-Mockery said.
Rose-Mockery also said someone can speak to those in the Emily Taylor Center, but that anyone who is a salaried employee at the University is a mandated reporter to IOA. Rose-Mockery and McQueeny also suggested GaDuGi SafeCenter, Willow Domestic Violence Center and Counseling and Psychological Services as resources for students.
Kathy Rose-Mockery, director of the Emily Taylor Center, said it's hard to describe a survivor's experience because every survivor is different, but there is usually some level of trauma.
"To me this is a problem," Yung said. "It's a problem that goes well beyond KU. It's a systemic disregard for rape and sexual assault victims and it's a cycle where victims have come to believe that reporting gets nothing done and they

Rose-Mockery said continuing dialogue and informing students can potentially create a change in the culture.
"I am just very encouraged to see so many of you here today, because this is an issue for all of us and so I want to say, I think that we're waiting for your ideas, waiting for your leadership. We, my office, Kathy's office, we're small offices, we can only do so much. I would love to see the students take initiative to start programs," McQueeney said.

"The way we're going to move forward is by working together as a campus," Rose-Mockery said.
The panel was hopeful with more education, conversations and student involvement the campus can continue to work on this issue.
"Policies are extremely important but the real goal is to not have any crimes to report," Rose-Mockery said.
McQueeny shared similar sentiments, and said she hopes students take the lead.

CONFLICT CONTINUES
ALLISON KITE
@Allie_Kite
Students engage in conversations about Israel, Gaza tensions
BETH FENTRESS @ElizaFentress
The conflict between Israel and the State of Palestine that escalated this summer marked another period of violence in a long history of tension between the two.
Operation Protective Edge, the name given to Israel's military operations, began July 8, and by the end, the death toll rose to more than 2,200. Though many of the bombing victims in Gaza were civilians, pro-Israeli students such as Evan Rakoover and Becca Levine say the conflict is between Israel and Hamas, not Israel and the Palestinians. Hamas, a Palestinian Islamist organization and the central governing body of the Palestinian people, is considered a terrorist organization by pro-Israeli students, as well as the United Kingdom and the United States.
Evan Rakoover, a junior from Austin, Texas, said Israel cannot work with Hamas because Hamas calls for the destruction of Israel.
every day during the conflict.
Levine: From what I understand, it was both an Israeli and Palestinian thing happening — the blockade. The Palestinian government Hamas was telling civilians that they were not allowed to leave and there would be repercussions if they did cross over into Israel, which many of them needed to do in order to get food, water and medical care that they needed. They were trapped within their own country and were not receiving supplies because all the money that was being funded from the U.S. and from Israel — Israel gave so much money to Palestine — was being used for those terror tunnels, so there were not those resources that they needed. Israelis every single day were trying to bring resources to the Palestinian civilians and were blocked out, so Israelis were risking their lives to go save the Palestinian civilian lives and were blocked out by Hamas groups telling them they couldn't go in and help their people.
Becca Levine, a junior from St. Louis and president of Jayhawks for Israel, agreed the conflict was not with Palestinian civilians. She said Israelis tried to help Palestinian civilians and get them the resources they needed

Kansan: What do you think about the blockade of Gaza?
Kansan: What should Americans know that they don't know about the conflict?

Salman Husain, a senior from Wichita and president of KU Students for justice in the Middle East, said he believes the injustice must be stopped. The student organization stands for justice which includes freedom, security, self-determination and universally-recognized human rights.
Pro-Palestinians have called this summer's conflict between Israel and Gaza, as well as the ongoing conflict, severely oppressive. They stand up for civilians who have lost loved ones, lost their own lives or lost their feeling of security.
Suha Najjar, a spring graduate from the University of Michigan, is now living in Gaza. Husain met Najjar at the second annual Students for Justice in Palestine conference in October 2012. Though Najjar was born in Gaza and has made multiple trips to see her family there, she grew up in the United States. She said she always felt a connection to Gaza and planned to move there. She moved to Gaza in June, a few days before Operation Protective Edge began.
Kansan: What have been some of your personal feelings toward what's been happening? What have been some of your personal reactions?
Husain: It's really tough because you see — in Gaza especially, which has borne the brunt of violence — you see violence on both sides, but Gaza has had over 2,000 people that
have perished, and Israel has had about 60 soldiers and maybe like five or six civilians that have died. In Gaza there have been about 400 children that have died. It's really disheartening to see these buildings that often house entire families and within five minutes — or a minute even — an airstrike can demolish an entire family, can demolish their entire livelihood, can demolish their possessions, everything that they own. Entire families are being wiped out, and the vast majority of them are nonviolent, are committed to peace but don't have any way of moving to a safe place once again returning to the blockade of Gaza. That's what's even more frustrating — to see that people are functionally trapped within their homes.
SEE ISRAEL PAGE 3
Kansan: What have you experienced in Gaza?
najjar: No 30 minutes would pass by without hearing at least two or three ambulances. There were sirens going off. You would hear an explosion and then you would hear the sirens. Another sound that was familiar was whenever there was an explosion, you would hear car sirens. Because of how hard they hit, the car would shake. The car alarms would go off. The sounds of specific types of explosions became very familiar to me, so I

they're not all written by educated sources. A lot of these are opinion articles, so they're going to come from people's religious backgrounds or people's cultural backgrounds. You have to ask yourself, "Do these people actually study this conflict?" Another thing is that it's not new. It's not a new conflict. This is not something that just came up. This has been going on for centuries. I think it's going to bring about an entire new question about religion in general and where religion is going in the world. That's the main source of this conflict: religion and territory. It all comes back to biblical text, so where is the importance of the Bible.
Kansan: What do you think Israel should do?
Rakoover: I believe Israel should definitely not work with Hamas. You can't work with someone who says, "I want to kill you if I get the option." What Israel should do is work with the Palestinian Authority, but the only way that can work is if the Palestinian Authority cuts ties with Hamas.
Kansan: How do you think the blockade plays a role in the conflict?
Rakover: The blockade was created in 2005 after Israel gave this land to the Palestinian people to do what they wanted with it. And after that you had suicide bombers being sent into Israel, blowing up buses, hospitals, government buildings, anything, which people don't remember that time, which is why there's a blockade now.
Kansan: Do you think the
media has played a role in the way people have viewed this conflict? What should the media be doing differently to portray this conflict fairly?
Rakoover: One thing that media looks at is human emotion. Obviously, being a human being, the first thing you're drawn to is human emotion, tears, sympathy. You look at a homeless person on the street and you're automatically drawn to them regardless of whether you help them or not because you feel for it being a human being and the emotions that come with that. Obviously I would hope the media would look at not just those emotions and believe the emotions of what they're hearing, but look at the whole to get a better understanding for certain conflicts.

Israel is also oppressing. Israel has colonized Palestinian land. Israel has recreated apartheid in the Middle East. We're deliberately leaving out this part of the narrative and enforcing a narrative of victimhood.
knew the difference between an F-16, between a rocket, between tank shells, between all of them. Each one of them instilled a certain type of fear. Tank shells and — I don't know what they're called, but from the beach, from the ships they would fire — explosions from the ships. Those were typically the most scary for me because those are not targeted. They're just random.
Kansan: Do you think the average American is aware of the support the U.S. gives to Israel and what it's used for?
Husain: I think absolutely not. I think that the American government has established this narrative and its elected representatives and many of the American people genuinely believe this, that Israel is under constant danger and that Israel is the victim in this situation. While we see that Israel has been subjected to danger certainly, we ignore the part of the narrative that says
Kansan: How do you think the blockade of Gaza played a part in this summer's conflict?
Najjar: The blockade I think definitely played a role in that it made Hamas — all these survivor skills came out. The tunnels were created and another very important thing was the psychological warfare that it creates for Palestinians. Palestinians can't move freely in and out of the Gaza Strip. Life in the Gaza Strip if you look, a lot of the youth just want to leave the Gaza Strip. They just hate it here because of how they don't have access to things that are very basic to the majority of the human population outside — or to the West at least. I think the blockade was a huge form of oppression.

SafeRide. SafeBus cannot cater to everyone's specific needs
Each year, Student Senate reviews a charge of student campus fees for SafeRide and SafeBus. An approved charge of $16.30 from each student allows SafeRide to run three to eight cars, seven nights a week for most of the year. SafeRide has generally run this way since its second incarnation in 1989 and is the oldest university program of its kind in the country. Jayhawks have set the standard, and that is something
to be proud of.
SafeBus began years later, in 2007, as an effort to serve high traffic areas on the weekends when SafeRide was becoming overwhelmed with incoming calls. In other words, SafeBus exists precisely to pick up SafeRider's "slack"
When SafeBus is in service, the SafeRide dispatcher still may get 150 or more calls in a night. It is simply unreasonable to expect eight cars funded by modest campus fees
to function as an unselective, speedy taxi service—especially on these nights. With this in mind,the student members of the Transit Commission set the policy of referring students currently within and living within a quarter-mile of one SafeBus route to take SafeBus instead. This was not done as a slight against students. It was done with pragmatic purpose, taking into account both the budget and the interests of
students.
If you dislike how these services function and want a say in the policy, your voice is absolutely welcome. You can email us and/or join the Transit Commission. These services were created, funded and utilized by students, and should therefore continue to be shaped by students.
If you are planning on taking SafeRide. I strongly encourage you to keep proof of residency with you
because our priority is only to get you home. If you are not a candidate for a SafeRide when SafeBus is running, and you are unsure how SafeBus works, email kuonwheels@ku.edu or call (785) 864-4644 to get detailed information on how to ride.

Victim blaming is wrong, but we cannot be naive
A good friend of mine was recently a victim of a Craigslist scam. He posted his couch on the site, and a guy offered to buy it and send him extra money for "moving expenses." Eventually he received a cashier's check for $1,800 more than the asking price. He deposited the check and wired the buyer back the extra funds. As you can imagine, the check did not go through and my friend was out $1,800 of his own money. During this ordeal, we all warned him not to wire the money and having deposited the initial check was an unwise decision.
When people ask a
What were we doing? Essentially, by a broad definition, we were victim blaming. As the victim of the crime, we held him either entirely or partially responsible for the situation.
sexual assault victim how much they drank or what they were wearing. we are victim blaming. When someone's home or car is robbed and we inquire whether they locked the doors,we are victim blaming.When we criticize hacked celebrities for taking nude photos in the first place,we are victim blaming.
In all these situations, the fault lies with the assaulter, thief or hacker. Their actions are immoral and all the blame rests with them. Victim blaming is wrong, and we should avoid doing it in all scenarios.
To say that we do not properly educate students about their risks and how to mitigate them is irresponsible and a prime example of how the blame is upon the victim. However, it is naive of us to say that we should not be aware of the consequences that

@anreneer
can occur if we are not properly informed. Sexual assault, robbery, murder and all other crimes will continue to occur, but thinking we should be able to live however we please is impractical. There will be victims. We should instead teach people how to mitigate our risk of becoming another statistic. That may mean we cannot drink as much as we'd prefer, and maybe we can't walk alone at night. We need to eliminate the opportunities of becoming a victim, but how can we prevent an opportunity from occurring?
First, we need to
educate men and women that alcohol does make them more vulnerable. Unfortunately, updating sexual assault education always occurs when attention is brought on it; similar to changing gun policies after a highly publicized shooting. We need to educate students on how to avoid becoming a perpetrator or a victim, especially in cases of sexual assault. Some people believe silence signifies consent, or do not know that incapacity does not signify consent. This should be clarified and taught so that crimes can be prevented.
The discourse on sexual assault right now involves how the perpetrator should be punished, and how to determine what is punitive enough. But we must also discuss how to prevent sexual assault and other crimes from occurring in the first place. If I can warn
someone to lock their door when they leave the house, why is it wrong to caution someone to watch what they drink, or to not walk home alone? We cannot let our fear of victim blaming create more victims. People should know better than to commit crimes, but they are going to happen regardless of how many times we say to stop.
Yes, we need to stop sexual assault from happening, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't recognize the ways to avoid it. Watch how much you drink, don't accept drinks from people you don't know, stay close to friend groups — be smart. Anti-victim blaming does little to reduce crime, and that should be the goal.

Tea, juice bar opens in West Lawrence
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@mariss193
When Lisa Green and her immediate family — her father, sister and 9-year-old niece — were all diagnosed with celiac disease in 2010, they were forced to change their diets and turn to healthier alternatives.
Green, along with her mother, opened t. Loft, a tea and juice bar, last month. It is located at 4801 Bauer Farm Dr. in Lawrence. Everything at t. Loft is homemade, from the drinks to the food, and even the furniture.
Green was inspired to open the location after seeing the success her sister, Jill Minton, had after opening two locations in Kansas City more than a year ago. Green said her sister started drinking a lot of tea to heal her body after she was diagnosed with celiac disease. From this, Minton developed the t. Loft concept.
Green says the restaurant's
initiative is to provide a healthy option and an educational outlet for people both with and without celiac disease.
Green is a Washburn University graduate, but said she is a big KU fan, and decided to open a t. Loft location in Lawrence after living here for 18 years. She said she thought it would be a good resource with convenient, gluten-free food options for college students.
When the location opened, Green said she felt nervous, but excited. She said the entire family was hard at work setting up the restaurant until the opening hour. Green's father bought a fire pit made by Leavenworth prisoners and added long legs and a circular glass cover. He then engraved a KU emblem into its center. Green's brother-in-law made swings that hang from the ceiling. Green said that these elements combined to create "a cozy place to hang out ... a lofty place."
Marybeth Mermis, Green and Minton's mother and store owner of the Lawrence location, said Minton often traveled for business and struggled to find gluten-free options on-the-go. Mermis said many restaurants serve gluten and non-gluten items, but they do not always change their gloves or cutting boards, resulting in cross contamination of the food. Mermis said drinks were also neglected when it came to healthy alternatives at restaurants.

ton started selling tea and tea-infused drinks that consisted of fruit and simple syrups at a farmers market, Mermis said. Once her tea business started thriving, she decided to eliminate syrups and any added sugars.
"We are hoping because of our journey, we can help other people too."
After doing thorough research on celiac disease and preventative methods, Mint. Loft offers 28 different kinds of teas, hot or iced, and 15 cleansing juices, as well as smoothies, healthy shooters, protein drinks and clean eats. A unique food t. Loft offers is protein balls. Protein balls consist of nuts, honey, maple, oats and spices and come in flavors such as pecan pie with cashew butter nut crust, peanut butter and Nutella. Healthy desserts such as gluten-free poppy seed muffins and sweet potato brownies are also offered. More traditional menu items include oatmeal, salads and yogurt parfaits. t. Loft added
Minton decided to open a restaurant that would incorporate juices, protein balls, baked goods and other healthy items.
two new protein shakes to the menu as well: almond dream and funky monkey.
t. Loft also offers a cleanse program, where customers can get a daily dose of four juices, homemade almond milk, a salad and a protein ball. The most popular is a three-day cleanse that includes food prepared to be picked up daily by the client before 8:00 a.m.
Beth Young, a Lawrence resident and t. Loft regular, said she has a hard time finding gluten-free options at restaurants and for snacks.
"At first, I freaked out, I was like what . . . am I going to eat," Young said.
Both Young and her daughter have celiac disease, and Young said eliminating these food allergies from their diets has improved their well-being and energy.
"We are hoping because of our journey, we can help other people too," Mermis said.
KU graduate to appear on 'The Daily Show'

"The Daily Show" producers set it up this way: Four Washington Redskins fans who favor keeping the football team's name were invited to a discussion with a cast member. Then, to their surprise, eight Native Americans entered the room and challenged their viewpoints. Ryan Red Corn, a KU graduate and co-founder of a comedy improv group, the 1491s, was one of the eight.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
"It got heated and turned into the predictable cyclical conversation," Red Corn said. "I had a good conversation with one of the fans once the cameras were off. He was really respectful, but I don't think I changed his mind."
Red Corn said appearing on the show was a "microcosm" of what a Native American experiences when going to a Redskins game.
Migiz Pensoneau, Bobby Wilson, Jason Jones and Ryan Red Corn film at a Redskins tailgate as part of an episode for "The Daily Show." Red Corn's episode this week will show what a Native American experiences at a Redskins game.
"The Daily Show" episode is set to air this week, either Wednesday or Thursday. For Red Corn, the appearance is the latest in 14 years of public efforts to add Native American perspectives to the national consciousness.
Red Corn said he was angry
The 1491s, which has five members, is named for the year before Christopher Columbus came to America. The group is one of several projects Red Corn has been involved in since graduating from the University in 2004. A member of the Osage tribe, he was the treasurer of the First Nations Student Association on campus.
"The problem is that narrative is almost empty," Red Corn said. "The narrative is controlled by non-Native entities. That's 150 years of noble savage stuff that gets wrapped up into mascots, films, books, products for butter, themed college parties, gets wrapped up into everything."
He channeled those emotions into his art. Red Corn graduated with a bachelor's degree of fine arts in Visual Communications with an emphasis in graphic design. He immediately started his now defunct T-shirt business.
at that time because he felt University administration was unsupportive of FNSA. He said he felt the local media had portrayed Native Americans unfairly, misquoting them and giving more attention to negative stories than positive ones
"If you look at the art that was on [the T-shirts], it's a lot of super angry activist art," Red Corn said. "It was out of the environment at KU and out of the environment of the high school that I attended in Kansas that really framed up my anger. Really focused my anger into that type of enterprise."
RYAN RED CORN KU graduate
"The narrative is controlled by non-Native entities. That's 150 years of noble savage stuff that gets wrapped up into mascots, films, books, products for butter, themed college parties, gets wrapped up into everything."
a more upbeat approach. He can trace his change in approach to one moment in particular. In 2009, Red Corn appeared in the film "Barking Water," which is a road movie about a dying Native American man trying to reconcile with his family. Red Corn had a comic relief role. He traveled with the film to its screenings and watched the audience members — their reactions to the film and especially what made them laugh. He saw that even in serious matters, humor was powerful.
For example, one of Red Corn's T-shirts depicted the top-hatted character from the board game Monopoly lying on his back in a pool of blood with a knife in his chest above the words "End Poverty." Another design showed an image of Mount Rushmore with "Vandalism" written underneath in spray-paint lettering. Another had "Build Community" with the 'i' dotted with a fist.
These days, Red Corn's takes
"Just watching 300 Natives bust out laughing created an ah-ha moment where I realized how much more powerful that was than what I had been doing and where I was putting my energy," Red Corn said.
Shortly after that, Red Corn and Sterlin Harjo, the writer and director of "Barking Water," co-founded the 1491s, which performs live, most frequently on college campuses. About 100 of the group's comedy sketches can be viewed on its YouTube channel.
In one such video, Red Corn, in a headdress and a loincloth made of dishtowels, dances around an Indian Art Market in Santa Fe, N.M. He said the video is a parody of the commercialization of Native art work.
Red Corn said he uses humor to increase a message's reach because it makes it more palatable.It's more effective in getting people to modify their behavior.
"People are willing to listen longer if they're entertained" Red Corn said. " The Daily Show' uses the exact same tactic."
Red Corn and Harjo also created a short film "Smiling Indians." The film seeks to diversify visual images of Native Americans. The project was featured on Indian Country Today Media Network and
twice on NPR.
Red Corn is also the art director at Buffalo Nickel Creative, an advertising agency headquartered in his hometown of Pawhuska, Okla., on the Osage Nation reservation. Red Corn co-founded the company, which specializes in web branding for Native American businesses.
Red Corn's work represents a change in how Native Americans have been portrayed throughout history. He said that almost everything published about Native Americans for the last 150 years came from this process of a white person talking to a Native American and writing down what they thought they meant. That author then has to go through a white editor, publisher and distributer, to ultimately be sold to white consumers.
Red Corn said it's not just a lack of diversity in the media; it's the numbers. Native Americans don't represent a big enough advertising base, and that element of the economy dictates the narrative.
Red Corn said the democratization of the Internet is what allows for a different process with a new set of messages.
"No one's telling us what to say," Red Corn said. "No one's telling us what should or shouldn't go in there and no one's telling us who has access to it, because we're putting it out there for everybody to see."
"The Daily Show" will be Red Corn's biggest stage yet. He said he's unsure how much it will show of the discussion or a trip they made to a Redskins tailgate, but he said it advances his goal. Red Corn said "The Daily Show" recognizes humor can be an avenue for social change and is one of the best at using it in that way.
"The Daily Show" is on the top of that pile." Red Corn said. "They've really mastered that as a craft. It's amazing to watch. It's phenomenal how much great content they kick out. It's just awesome to be considered to be worthy of being recognized in that same capacity."

Cibo Sano offers new way to serve Italian food
Dan Blomgren opened his first business in 1988, just three months, after he graduated from the University. Recently he opened an Italian restaurant, Cibo Sano Italian Grille, at 4821 West 6th St., near the intersection of 6th and Wakarusa. The white and maroon interior of the restaurant operates like an Italian version of Chipotle. The restaurant offers a new way to enjoy Italian food through a variety of toppings and ingredients that customers can add to their selected main dish — cibos, which are hand-rolled flat breads, pasta bowls or salads.
Blomgren said he decided to open up his restaurant in Lawrence because he was raised here. Blomgren graduated from the University in 1988 with a degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences. He has been living in Lawrence since 1983, which he said has allowed him to become familiar with the area.
Blomgren's first business started as small liquor store, but quickly grew into what is now known as Cork and Barrel, located at 2000 W. 23rd St., next to Cici's Pizza. After his success with the first Cork and Barrel, he opened his second location on 9th and Mississippi Street in 2001. Blomgren sold both locations at the end of 2008 after he gained interest in pursuing a different style of business restaurants.
"I believe in my product," Blongren said. He said after selling the liquor stores, he had extra time on his hands and took up cooking for fun until he realized it turned into a passion. He has been serving his food to his family and friends for a long time and the feedback has always been positive.
"I came up with the idea several years ago, and I was waiting for the economy to improve," he said. Until Blomgren landed his busily and friends for a long time and the feedback has always been positive.
Blomgren opened Cibo Sano Italian Grille on Sept. 16, after three months of redesigning the interior and ordering equipment for the restaurant. Cibo Sano officially took over the space that was formerly a Quizno's in June. Blomgren said it's his first restaurant he owns and manages by himself.
ness at its current location, he said he had to sit on the side-line until the space became available.
Lindsy Stroda, an employee at Cibo Sano, said she enjoys her time at the restaurant and started working the day it opened.
"I thought it was a really cool idea in the beginning," she said. "Dan is a really cool guy. He is definitely a businessman for sure, but he is also a people's guy as well. He always brings a cool vibe to our workplace."

New ABC comedy 'Black-ish' celebrates black culture
AUGUSTINE
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Network executives have talked for years about the need for more diversity in their programming. But all you have to do is watch TV to realize how far off they are from reflecting the real ethnic makeup of this country.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Larry Wilmore, executive producer of the new ABC comedy "Black-ish," and the rest of the "Black-ish" cast and crew are looking to change that view.
This image released by ABC shows Lawrence Fishburne and Tracee Ellis Ross in a scene from the comedy "Black-ish," premiering tonight.
This show kind of celebrates black more as a cultural thing than a race thing. At the heart of it, it's a family show and it's about basically a father who feels like he may have given his kids too much. And whenever you give your kids a lot, something is always lost," Wilmore says. "We have so many people from so many different groups, immigrant groups and different ethnic identities, who can relate to this where their kids, when they assimilate, something is lost in their own culture."
vah comes directly from Anderson.
In "Black-ish," Anthony Anderson plays the concerned father who believes his family has forgotten their heritage. After his son asks to have a bar mitzvah (and the family isn't Jewish), he decides to try to re-educate his children.
The plot line of the bar mitz
His 12-year-old son told him he just didn't "feel black." Anderson realized that his success allowed him to give his son a different lifestyle than the one he knew growing up in Compton.
"The existence that my son knows is nothing short of privilege. Being in private school since the age of four and his surroundings in that environment is what he was referring to. And I was like, 'Well, son, this is your black experience. That black experience that you have right now is different than the experience that I had growing up," Anderson says. "He got it and understood it. And then in the same breath, he said, 'Okay, Dad. For my 13th birthday, I want a bar mitzvah.'"
"I look him dead in his eye, and I said, 'So you really aren't black?' Let me just figure out how I'm going to do this."
Anderson's solution of giving his son a hip-hop bro mitzvah has been worked into the comedy series. A photo album of the event was used when Anderson pitched the idea for the series to the network.
network.
The part of the humor in the show is at the expense of the mother — played by Tracee Ellis Ross — being of mixed race. The
actress was attracted to the role because that's exactly the life she's lived.
"As a mixed girl, you're constantly 'Are you black? Are you white? I'm like why do I have to be either. And so it's this idea of what is race, what is black, and what is this conversation?
I think it's a conversation that everyone is already having and, yes, we are telling it specifically from this point of view, but it is a universal conversation, especially in this day and age in the world that we live in today," Ross said.
Rounding out the family is Lawrence Fishburne, who plays Anderson's father. It's a very different role for the actor who
has tended to gravitate toward more dramatic TV series such as "CSI" and "Hannibal." His willingness to take on a network sitcom came from what he saw in the script and conversations with the producers.
"Ultimately our country is black-ish. We've all been borrowing little bits and pieces of culture from each other for however long we've been around," Fishburne says. "It was the conversation about our lives and just the stuff that we have to deal with in our lives, yes, as black men in America, but those things are always changing and shifting and growing."
Study: Women are underrepresented in all aspects of the film industry
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
As film becomes an increasingly global business, a new study suggests women are underrepresented both in front of and behind cameras worldwide.
The study, released Monday by the University of Southern California, also contains some surprises — such as that Chinese movies are more gender-balanced than American films.
Women made up 35 percent of characters in Chinese films, compared with 29.3 percent in American movies, according to researchers at USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.And women directed 16.7 percent of Chinese films during the period studied — January 2010 to May 1, 2013—as compared to none of the U.S. films.
"It is a critical time ... for the entertainment industry as they expand into international territories, and particularly China," said Stacy L. Smith, director of the Media, Diversity, & Social Change Initiative at Annenberg. "My interest was in ... understanding what audiences in growing markets might already be watching."
One of several recent reports to look at the portrayal of women in media, the study entitled "Gender Bias Without Borders" examined female characters in Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the U.K. Overall, researchers found that there were 2.24 male characters for every female character, and that only 23.4 percent of films had a female protagonist.
Films from Britain (37.9 percent), Brazil (37.1 percent) and South Korea (35.9 percent) had the highest percentage of female characters, while Indian films (24.9 percent) lagged.
Among the 120 films studied, researchers found that overall women accounted for 7 percent of directors, 19.8 percent of writers and 22.7 percent of producers.
In countries with more female content creators, there tended to be more women on screen as well.
Britain, where 27.3 percent of directors and 59 percent of writers were female, had the
highest percentage of female characters in its films. It's also the country that provided the lone example of a female protagonist in a high-profile political position — Meryl Streep's Margaret Thatcher in the 2011 film "The Iron Lady," which had both a female director (Phyllida Lloyd) and writer (Abi Morgan).
"... we are not seeing fictional female power brokers in popular films."
STACY L. SMITH Director of the Media Diversity, & Social Initiative at USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism
Women were unlikely to play the roles of powerful executives or politicians in any country, researchers found. When they did appear in such roles, the parts were often small or unusual: One character, a fictional representation of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, had no
lines; another, a woman rallying her constituents to fight global warming, was an elephant.
Women were also far less likely than men to be cast as judges (5 percent), lawyers (9.1 percent), doctors (14.8 percent) and professors (5.9 percent).
In many of the countries researchers studied, women's real world employment far exceeded their onscreen portraits. Although women comprise 47.4 percent of the workforce in France, for instance, they're only 18.8 percent of the workforce in French films.
Farrell, Vaughn to star in 'True Detective'
"Just like in the U.S., we are not seeing fictional female power brokers in popular films." Smith said. "This is unfortunate, as stories are only a function of the imagination, and creativity should not be constrained by gender."
The new season, written solely by creator Nic Pizzolatto, will center on "three police officers and a career criminal (who) must navigate a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder."
The study also examined at how female characters' sexuality was presented in each country, such as whether women appeared partly nude or in sexy attire. At 39.9 percent of female characters, Germany's women were the most likely to be scantily clad, compared to 11.6 percent in South Korea.
Farrell, who let the cat out of the bag this week in an interview with the Irish newspaper Sunday World, will play Ray Velcoro, described as "a compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him."
Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn will star in the second season of "True Detective," HBO confirmed Tuesday.
Vaughn, who was among the many names rumored to be circling the project, will star opposite Farrell as Frank Semyon, described as "a career criminal in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner." Production is set to begin this "In California

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When was the last time the Kansas City Royals won 90 games?
A. 1989 (92-70)
(92-70)
The 2014 Kansas City Royals defy logic, yet follow a pattern
With five games remaining on the schedule, the Kansas City Royals sit at 86-71 following a 7-1 win against the Cleveland Indians and are three games ahead of the Seattle Mariners for the second wild-card spot.
The Royals had quite the inconsistent season, but a successful one nonetheless. One of the best bullpens in baseball and stout fielding play has carried them through 2014. When a team is called inconsistent, it's certainly not viewed as a strong suit. But for the Royals, inconsistency may be what leads them deep into October.
By GJ Melia
@gjmelia
Let's be clear. I'm not saying the fact that Kansas City's unpredictability is a good thing, but if you look at it, it may not be the worst thing either. They're a streakty team, one that will go on a 10-game tear, then
lose six of its next seven, like it did in lune.
Before Monday, the last time the Royals won two games in a row was Sept. 3 and Sept. 5. In that 16-game stretch, they dropped 10 games, five coming to nonplayoff caliber teams in the Yankees, White Sox and Red Sox. The other four losses come to division-rival Detroit.
So we can agree that from Sept. 5 to Sept. 22, the Royals were exhibiting
the inconsistencies that drove their fans mad. One major cause of this inconsistency has been the hitting of two key players. Billy Butler and Alex Gordon hit for a combined .150 batting average during that stretch (15 hits in 100 at bats), as compared to a .290 batting average in August (63 hits in 217 at bats). Yet, after carrying a 7-9 record through that mid-September slump, Kansas City still sits at 86-71 with five games remaining.
When Kansas City's batters do wake up and begin hitting, this team is one of the most formidable, balanced teams in all of baseball. And the pattern of the season has been for the hitters to do so after a faulty few weeks, which is where the team sits today.
The 2014 Kansas City Royals have defied logic throughout the year, not having great (or even good) hitting at various points in the season and being lifted by pitching and fielding. Then seemingly out of nowhere, Royals' batters began hitting, and the pitching and fielding remained the same as it has the entire season.
If the Royals do end up making it to the postseason, and are able to make it past a one-game playoff, if need be, there's no telling how far a good hitting streak could carry them. Kansas City's bullpen is almost impeccable, and its defense is close to that category as well. If the offense picks up its slack, specifically Gordon and Butler, these Royals are going to be a huge pain in the you-know-what for any team in October.

THE DAILY DEBATE
Which Kansas football player has been the most disappointing so far?
By Griffin Hughes
@GriffinJHughes
"JIMMAY MUNDINE"
Three games in, it seems harsh to say there's been a disappointment for Kansas football this season. However, there are several players, several leaders, who need to step up their game if Kansas stands any of making a bowl game. Jimmy Mundine, the senior tight end, is one such leader.
Mundine has caught nine receptions for just 84 yards. He has not seen the end zone yet. On their face, his stats seem to exceed where they were this time last year — he has more yards, more receptions and accounts for a bigger percentage of Kansas' offense than he did through three games last year. However, six of his nine receptions and 67 of his 84 yards came against Central Michigan, the worst pass defense of the three teams the Jayhawks have faced in the nonconference season. Also, at this time last year, Mundine had found the end zone once, the first of his team-leading five downs. His average per catch through three games was over three yards higher last year than it is this year.
hinder a season that needs to be Mundine's best.
He did not catch a ball in the Southeast Missouri State game and he missed two games late last season. If injuries are a concern, it would further
This is Montell Cozart's first year as the full-time quarterback, and he'll be counting on seniors like Mundine, who is on the Mackey Watch List for the best tight end in college football, to help him when the team hits conference play. The Big 12 has three of the top-10 pass defenses in the country, and Cozart has no experience in big time situations — when he took over the Jayhawk offense full time last year, they were no longer bowl eligible.
Mundine will have to step up to help Cozart and the Kansas offense against some of the toughest defenses in the country, but you have to wonder if the chemistry between Mundine and Cozart is lacking. None of Mundine's touchdowns last year came from Cozart, and his total yardage dropped off a cliff with Cozart at quarterback. Less than a quarter of Mundine's total yardage last year came from balls thrown by Cozart.
Cozart's struggles to find the same page with Mundine are concerning. It's especially concerning if you're offensive coordinator John Reagan, who is tasked with coming up with a game plan against some of the top defenses in the country If you're going to beat the likes of Texas or Baylor, you have to utilize your biggest redzone threat, and make sure he and your quarterback are so in sync that Cozart doesn't have to give a signal for Mundine to know where to go.
Tight ends are so valuable now at every level of football. If I'm Charlie Weis,I'm desperate to get Mundine's numbers up for conference play. He will make the difference in Big 12 games,and he may be the key to making Kansas' first bowl game since 2008.

"NICK HARWELL"
Ever since the first quarter of the first game of the season
game of the season against Southeast Missouri State, senior wide receiver Nick Harwell has been nearly invisible in the Kansas offense.
Harwell, who caught four passes for 46 yards and two touchdowns in the SEMO game, has a combined five receptions for a total of 20 yards in the two games that followed.
The senior came into this season after sitting out all of last year after transferring from Miami (Ohio) University. Following his three seasons playing for the Redhawks under coach Don Treadwell, Harwell set the single-game team record for receptions and receiving
yards, and has the most 100-yard receiving games in Miami football program history.
In 2011, he was college football's second-leading receiver averaging 129.6 yards per game on 97 receptions for 1,425 yards and nine touchdowns. Those marks were good for an honorable mention All-American selection by Sports Illustrated.
The Jayhawks had high hopes for the receiver after posting stand-out numbers in Oxford, Ohio, especially since they haven't had a 1,000-yard receiver in a season since 2009 in Dezmon Briscoe, who did it twice and still holds the team record for most career receiving yards by a KU receiver.
in the nation. Although he is still mentioned on the watch list, Harwell will need to step it up to even be considered in the final running to win the award on Dec. 11.
Not all of Harwell's slow start can be attributed to himself, though. The man throwing him the ball, sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart, has been far from impressive so far. The talent Harwell brought with him to Kansas hasn't gone unnoticed by opposing sidelines as he has drawn tight coverage. Then again, part of a wide receiver's job is to find ways to get open and Harwell's five receptions the last two weeks hasn't proved that he's done that effectively.
DAILY DEBATE RESULTS: SEPT. 23, 2014 Who is the nonconference MVP for Kansas football?
TONY PIERSON: 67%
DEXTER MCDONALD: 33%
VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT KANSAN.COM
If Charlie Weis and his Jayhawks want to keep a winning record moving forward into Big 12 play, Harwell has to get more receptions and find the end zone more often just like he did 23 different times as a Miami Redhawk.
Cabrera lifts Tigers to 4-3 White Sox win
For most of the night, it looked like Price was going to show exactly why the Tigers had traded for him at the deadline, taking a three-hit shutout into the ninth. Adam Eaton singled and moved to third on Alexei Ramirez's double. That got Joe Nathan
Kansas expected Harwell to standout and shine in the newly introduced spread offense, but has been anything but productive following his two-touchdown performance in week one. The 6-foot-1, Missouri City, Texas, native was put on the watch list for the Biletnikoff Award, which goes to the best wide receiver
The win kept Detroit a game ahead of Kansas City atop the American League Central and dropped their magic numbers to five for the division and two for the postseason.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brad Ausmus visited the mound, drawing boos from the crowd, but he left Price in. Dayan Viciedo flew out to right for the second out, and Paul Konerko, who was honored by the Tigers before the game, singled to move Garcia to third. Marcus Semien then blooped a single to center, tying the game.

Detroit used more speed to get a run in the seventh, as pinch-runner Andrew Romine was able to go from first to third on Semien's error, and score on Kinsler's single. Hunter followed with a ground-rule double to make it 3-0.

5 THOUGHTS ON TEXAS GAME
What we learned at Charlie Weis' weekly press conference
1 TEXAS OFFENSE
Saturday's game between Kansas and Texas may be a defensive battle. Weis called Texas' defense stout. The offenses are a different story. After losing players to graduation, dismissals and injuries, the one position Texas needs to improve most is its offensive line. Nationally, Texas ranks No. 103 in passing yards, No. 101 in rushing yards and No. 107 in points." feel their pain," Weis said.
MALCOM BROWN

Weis said Texas defensive tackle Malcom Brown is one of the best players he has seen this year. Period.
3 TEXAS ROOTS
One-fourth of the Kansas roster is from Texas. The importance of this game to the kids that didn't even get a sniff from Texas cannot be overstated.

4 QUARTERBACKS
Weis said Texas' quarterback situation is different than Kansas'. "Our quarterback was the starter at the beginning of the year," Weis said. "Their quarterback was the backup." Texas's former backup, Tyrone Swoope, has completed 67.7 percent of his passes for 5.72 yards per attempt compared with Montell Cozart's 54.8 percent and 6.08.
5 TEDARIAN JOHNSON
Senior defensive tackle Tedarian Johnson graded out as one of the best on the team in the 24-10 win against Central Michigan. Weis said it was by far the best game Johnson has played since he has been here. Depth on the defensive line will be key against up-tempo Big 12 offenses.

Scouting the Longhorns Defense
TEXAS

Like Kansas, the defense is the calling card for the Texas football program this year.
Texas has five interceptions this season after having just 10 all of last season. They rank 32nd in the nation in turnovers gained with seven and are tied for 48th in the turnover margin (+0.33 game). To put that in perspective, Kansas has just three
turnovers thus far.
Defensive tackle Malcom Brown is arguably the best player on the defensive side of the ball. He recorded 2.5 sacks against BYU, becoming the 10th Texas player to have 2.5 sacks or more in a game.
"They are stout on defense," Weis said. "We are going to have to play really well to have a chance to win this game."
Texas, as a team, has recorded 13 sacks in the first three games and they are sixth in the nation with 4.33 sacks per game.

In his first two starts, Swoopes has thrown for 372 yards and completed 67.7 percent of his pass attempts, both of which rank second among the last six quarterbacks to start two games for Texas.
Scouting the Longhorns Offense Due to starter David Ash's retirement last week after he suffered a season-ending head injury, quarterback Tyrone Swoopes will direct the
"He may be the best player I have ever seen." Weis said.
"He looks a lot bigger on tape than what he is listed on the roster," Weis said. "He's got a real strong arm and is very mobile."
The Longhorns will rely heavily on their dynamic duo in the backfield with running back Malcolm Brown and running back Johnathan Gray. They are one of six duos to return after rushing for at least 750 rushing yards last season.
"Tre' was the best wide receiver through training camp." Weis said. "We really wanted him out there in the first three weeks."

Weis expects Parmalee to play immediately this weekend.
Parmalee has seen action in his first two seasons, catching 16 passes for 153 yards, but has yet to score.
Less Bubble Screens
Sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart's struggles through two games caused Weis to put an emphasis on short passes this past week against Central Michigan.
Cozart threw for a career high 226 yards Saturday,but a
large chunk of that was due to vards after the catch.
with Texas using a different defensive scheme, Weis will most likely have to change his offensive mindset again this week.
"Texas runs a lot of Cover 1 and Cover 3," Weis said. "I don't expect those screens to work as well as they did last week."

Royals roll on, defeat Indians 7-1 Tuesday night
ASSOCIATED PRESS
They've got a much bigger goal in mind.
CLEVELAND — With another win, the Royals stepped closer to history and a playoff berth.
Rookie Yordano Ventura blanked Cleveland's punchless offense for seven innings as Kansas City kept pressure on first-place Detroit in the AL Central with a 7-1 win over the Indians on Tuesday night.
Following the game, the Royals retreated to their clubhouse to watch the ninth inning of the Tigers' 5-4 win over Chicago. As they ate their postgame meals, Kansas City's players roared loudly when the White Sox scored three runs in the ninth to tie it. It got much quieter when Miguel Cabrera delivered a game-winning hit to keep the Tigers one game ahead of Kansas City.
Still, the Royals are stalking.
"I'm not really interested in the wild card right now," Yost said. "That (magic) number doesn't mean much to me. The wild card has always been Plan B. We're in good shape right now. Our focus is on winning this division."
so, the kings are staring.
Manager Ned Yost knows his club almost has a wild-card berth locked up. However, he's got his sights on a bigger prize.
The hard-throwing Ventura (14-10) allowed four singles and threw a 100 mph fastball on his 104th pitch.
Salvador Perez's two-out, two-run double off Danny Salazar (6-8) put the Royals ahead 5-0 in the fifth and they turned their attention to the left-field scoreboard to monitor the Tigers' score. Kansas City remained one game out of first
with five games left.
It's been 29 years since the Royals were in the postseason, and that run in 1985 ended with their only World Series title.
At 86-71, Kansas City matched its win total from last season. It's the first time the Royals have had consecutive seasons with at least 86 victories since 1977-78.
"We keep saying it over and over again, but it's what you have to do as a team. We went out and took care of our business."
ERIC HOSMER Kansas City first baseman
"We've got to stick to the plan," first baseman Eric Hosmer said. "We keep saying it over and over again, but it's what you have to do as a team. We went out and took care of our business."
The Indians' faint playoff hopes grew dimmer. Cleveland trails Kansas City by 41/2 games in the wild-card chase with four games remaining.
The playoff are within reach, but the Royals aren't banking on anything just yet.
Ventura made his major league debut against the Indians last September, a performance Indians manager Terry Francona called "electric."
Cleveland's offense went into a funk at the worst time possible. The Indians scored an unearned run in the eighth, ending a string of 19 straight scoreless innings.
"We're not hoping for electric tonight," Francona said beforehand.
With a chance to stay in the race in the season's final week, Cleveland is collapsing.
Ventura didn't have to be. The Indians are currently powerless.
"We didn't win, which we set out to do." Francona said. "The only thing we can do now is play tomorrow and try to win that name."
Omar Infante's two-run double in the fourth gave the Royals a 2-0 lead, and with the Indians' offense sputtering. Ventura had more than enough cushion to notch his fifth win in six starts and improve to 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA in five career starts against the Indians. He's 7-1 with a 2.02 ERA in his last eight starts in the division.
"He's a special guy," Yost said. "He has all the makings of being a high-level, upper-tier pitcher in the American League."
In the fifth, Salazar, who struck out the side in the first two innings, got two quick outs before Hosmer doubled and scored on Billy Butler's double. Alex Gordon was walked intentionally and Perez drove in two with his shot to left-center, the ball just clearing lunging left fielder Michael Brantley's glove.
He escaped a threat in the third, but Salazar wasn't so fortunate in the fourth, when he walked Butler and gave up a single to Gordon before Infante pulled his double into the left-field corner.
Salazar was dominant in the early going, getting six strikeouts in the first two innings with each whiff coming on a wicked change-up that badly fooled the Royals hitters.

COMMENTARY Basketball recruit reflects style of Brannen Greene
In 2013. Kansas sophomore Brannten Greene was named Mr. Basketball in Georgia. Greene was the 47th overall prospect in his class according to the ESPN 100 and was ranked as the top from his state.
By Ben Felderstein
@Ben Felderstein
This year, Self and the Jayhawks are seeking out another potential Mr. Georgia Basketball in Jaylen Brown. Brown has scheduled an official visit to Lawrence on Oct. 10 and is looking into visiting Kentucky a week later, Oct. 17. However, that visit is not official yet. Brown's visit to Allen Fieldhouse will happen during Late Night in the Phog.
+
Self has had success with recruits visiting Late Night in the past. Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre were in attendance last season and liked what they saw enough to commit to Kansas.
Brown and Greene have similar playing styles. They are both 6 feet 7 and split time as shooting guard and small forward. They are both plus-sized for their position and go strong to the basket. Brown has been described as a versatile athlete who plays with a chip on his shoulder and has great potential on the defensive side of the ball.
Like Greene, Brown has an improved jump shot that he understands is a critical aspect of his game.
"I feel like that's what I've been working on," Brown said. "I've been working real hard to develop everything and work on my weaknesses and (the jumper) is becoming one of my strengths. Being able to get my shot off at any time and being able to get in a rhythm like that (is important)."
Being from Georgia, Brown is considering the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, as well as UCLA for his college decision. One important aspect of Brown's decision is the coaching staff. He said he is intrigued by Bill Self, Norm Roberts and the rest of the Jayhawk staff.
However, Brown is not alone in this decision, and it isn't based solely on basketball.
"Jaylen waiting until after his senior year is still on the table at this time," his mother, Michelle Brown, told SNY.tv. "This is a very difficult decision, and I want Jaylen to be at peace with his choice and not be rushed. I also want him to feel comfortable that his choice covers where he can excel in both academics and athletics."
This is a new development out of Brown's camp. Back in May, Brown went off for 48 points at the Adidas Gauntlet in Indianapolis. After his performance, he said he was getting tired of the recruiting process. He wanted to make a decision over the summer, but added a few schools to his list late.
"Coach Self is really cool," Brown told SNY.tv. "I hope to sit down with him to talk some basketball."
With only one official visit scheduled to the University of Kansas, it seems that a commitment from Brown is still far away.

FRESHMAN ON FIRE
Madison Rigdon making an early season statement
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon attempts to spike the ball over two Lipscomb players on Aug. 29. Rigdon led Kansas at the Jayhawk Classic last weekend with 46 kills.
LMATT CORTE
@Corte UDK
The volleyball team's three upperclassmen were supposed to solidify the outside hitter position. Seniors Sara McClinton and Chelsea Albers made the All-Big 12 Preseason team this year, and junior Tiana Dockery received substantial playing time in her first two seasons at Kansas.
But at this weekend's Jayhawk Classic, which Kansas won, a different outside hitter stole the show.
Madison Rigdon, a freshman from Pflugerville, Texas, has been lighting up opposing teams lately in a stretch few would have predicted to come
so early.
in three matches at the Jayhawk Classic, Rigdon led the team with 46 kills, including a career-high 20 kills against Arkansas.
we've been very pleased with Madison and how she has developed through the nonconference part of our schedule," coach Ray Bechard said. "I don't want to say that she is a surprise because we knew the type of talent she would bring to the table, but with her position being deep with upperclassmen, her emergence has been really good to see."
became the first Jayhawk of the season to be named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
Rigdon is the first freshman to win this award since 2012, when West Virginia's Hannah Sackett did so.
On Monday, the big 12 recognized Rigdon's stellar play in the Jayhawk Classic as she
Taking on the demanding role of a six-rotation starter — a player who plays in the front and back row — Rigdon is one of the most versatile players on the team.
Armed with a booming serve, Rigdon's 19 aces lead the team and rank fifth in the Big 12.
"I think my serve has been a big part of it (my success)," Rigdon said. "I've had to get more confident with it as we go."
She ranks second on the team in kills (129) and points (156.5), only falling behind Albers in those categories. Not bad for someone who appeared to be a backup heading into the season.
Rigdon now has more confidence than ever, and that's the scary part. Well, for her opposition, that is.
Not surprisingly, Albers, the team's other six-rotation player, has positively impacted Rigdon.
"(Albers) picks me up whenever I make a mistake, and if I mess up, she just tells me to move onto the next play," Rigdon said. "Her leadership is amazing and its helped me out a lot throughout this transition from high school to college."
Before coming to Kansas, Rigdon played at Pflugerville High School where she was a three-time member of the All-Texas team, and she set school records in kills (1375) and aces (229).
As Kansas' nonconference schedule ends and Big 12 play starts, the big question will be whether Rigdon can consistently perform at a high level against tougher teams.
Then again, if her team-leading 11 kills against No. 3 Penn State are any indication, Rigdon appears to be up to the challenge.

Weis promises a more physical team
FRANK WEIRICH/KANSAN
Junior linebacker Jake Love takes down Central Michigan running back Saylor Lavallii for a loss.
6 CENTRAL
That probably won't hurt as Texas comes into town this week. Both the Longhorns' defense and offense are known to be tough.
"If you're asking whether we're going to pull off, not a chance," Weis said. "I'm a very superstitious person. I think the physical practice helped us last week, and they (players) know that, so it's only going to go up from there."
Texas running backs Malcolm Brown and Johnnathan Gray are both around 5 feet 11 inches and 220 pounds. Tight end Geoff Swaim is 6 feet 4 inches and 250 pounds. Weis said Swaim is one of the best blocking tight ends he has seen.
Both in response to the blowout loss to Duke and in preparation for the bruising, old-school offense that Central Michigan ran, Weis promised to make the Jayhawks' practice more physical than usual.
So this week, the Jayhawks will continue to hone their physicality.
The Texas defense has 13

sacks in three games. Malcom Brown, a defensive tackle, is leading the Big 12 Conference in both sacks and tackles for loss.
"This team has a lot of physical players," Weis said. "Their running backs are physical, to start off with. You've got to expect them to come in and figure they're just going to pound us."
The schedule worked out so Kansas would face two teams, CMU and now Texas, that play the tough brand of football.
"I don't do the schedule, but the game played out well from that game (CMU) to this game (Texas) we're playing right now," Weis said.
On Saturday, Kansas saw indicators of more tough football. Before the game, the Jayhawks were last in the league with one sack. They tripled that total against CMU by sacking the quarterback three times.
Much has been said about the strength of the defense being in the secondary, but linebacker Jake Love did his part in sealing the victory. Love came up with consecutive stops in the fourth quarter.
He now has five tackles for
loss, just one behind Texas' Brown.
Against Texas, we will see if the trend continues. Even the offensive side of ball, which offensive coordinator John Reagan says is not looking to play "smash mouth football" every week, is looking to be more physical.
"At the same time, it is a violent game — witnessed by their quarterback (David Ash) retiring at 20 years old or whatever he is," Reagan said. "It is a violent game and you have to play it that way regardless of the style of offense and the type of person you are. The game has to be played that way."
Weis acknowledges that there are injury risks to physical practices during the week, but he said it is necessary.
Ash, who was the starter and played in one game, retired from football last week after complications from concussions. He missed the last 10 games of the previous season due to a head injury.
"If we don't bang Tuesday and Wednesday, then we won't be ready to play on Saturday," Weis said.

Couple sues state for marriage rights
KELSIE JENNINGS
@kelcjent
Two former University students are returning to Lawrence Thursday night to share their story as a same-sex married couple and to rally support for the LGBTQ community in Kansas.
Charles Dedmon and Michael Nelson have been married since Nov. 17,2013. They were married in California, but live in Kansas where gay marriage is not recognized. They have filed a lawsuit against the Kansas Department of Revenue in hopes that they will soon be able to file their taxes as a married couple.
We believe that Kansas needs a progressive voice and this is the way we can most
authentically Nelson said.
contribute,
They are pursuing the right to file their taxes together because it could serve as a first step towards marriage equality. If they win the lawsuit, it could open the door for resolving other marriage equality issues.
The couple realizes that they could have more marriage rights in other states such as California, but Dedmon and Nelson choose to remain in Kansas because their roots are here and they want to see marriage equality move forward in this state.
Their story goes back to January 1974, when they met at Murphy Hall.
They were both in a stagecraft class and were making a set for "The Playboy of the
Western World." Nelson remembers that Dedmon was painting stage pieces "flat black" while he was priming them. They had a few other classes together and started talking and developed a friendship.

"It was a tempestuous decade. He got married, I ran away to California."
MICHAEL NELSON
Alumni
"I had no clue that I was gay," Nelson said.
They became roommates and shared a house with
two others, one of them being Nelson's girlfriend at the time.
"It was an odd arrangement;" he said.
But as time went on, Nelson and Dedmon's friendship continued to grow. They would stay up late talking about everything, and gradually those talks went later and later into the night as they shared their thoughts and became closer.
"Lo and behold, after a year of talking, things started to move into another direction and then, bam! There I was, in love," Nelson said.
He said that during the 1970s, the gay rights movement was just beginning and they weren't "out" with their relationship. Both he and Rededman said that police still
raided bars in Kansas City and would take people to jail for being gay, so they had to be careful and stay quiet about it.
"It was just something you didn't even think about," Nelson said.
The couple spent some time apart when Dedmon married a woman in 1977.
"It was a tempestuous decade... He got married, I ran away to California," Nelson said.
But they found their way back to each other. The couple moved to Oklahoma, and from that point on, they shared a joint bank account and considered everything else to be "theirs."

White House launches 'It's On Us' campaign
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
DALTON KINGERY
@DaltonKingNews
Vice President Joe Biden praises Lilly Jay who talked about the impact on her life after she was sexually assaulted as a freshman at Amherst College in Massachusetts, at the White House in Washington on Sept. 19. Biden and President Barack Obama unveiled the "It's On Us" campaign Friday.
The White House launched "It's On Us" last Friday, a national public awareness and education campaign designed to shift the way people think about sexual assault. The program aims to inspire people to see it as their responsibility to take preventative action before sexual assaults occur.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The campaign is partnering with student leadership at over 200 colleges and universities, collegiate sports organizations such as the NCAA, individual athletic conferences such as the Big 12, Big Ten, and Pac-12 and a diverse range of private corporations and celebrities. As of Sept. 24, the pledge was not signed by Student Senate.
"As far as we've come, the fact is that from sports leagues to pop culture to politics, our society still does not sufficiently value women," said President Obama in a speech discussing the launch of the new campaign on Monday. "We still don't condemn sexual assault as loudly as we should. We make excuses. We look the other way. The message that sends can have a chilling effect on our young women."
The campaign addresses one of the areas highlighted as a key issue by the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault: preventing sexual assault and engaging men in the conversation.
"It's really encouraging to me, on our own campus, to see men working with women, and men working across many
Some members of the University, like doctoral student Phil Wagner, see encouraging signs from the men on campus.
lines to combat sexual violence on campus," said Wagner, one of the Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity's 2014 Men of Merit.
"If you've been to any of the meetings related to what's going on here on our campus, you'll see a lot of male faces in those crowds, and I don't think that's something that's always been true with these issues," Wagner said.
The "It's On Us" campaign calls on men in particular to step in if they see a situation where sexual assault seems likely to occur, and charges men with the responsibility of setting the right tone when talking about women.
"It is on all of us to reject the quiet tolerance of sexual assault and to refuse to accept what's unacceptable. And we especially need our young men
to show women the respect they deserve, and to recognize sexual assault, and to do their part to stop it," Obama said. "It is your responsibility to set the right tone when you're talking about women, even when women aren't around, maybe especially when they're not around."
The White House administration emphasizes the need for people to intervene when it comes to sexual assault on college campuses.
"Still today, one in five women will be sexually assaulted while in college, and research shows that bystander intervention can be an effective way of stopping sexual assault before it happens," said Tina Tchen, assistant to the president and chief of staff to the first lady, during a conference call with the press. "Bystanders play a
key role in preventing and discouraging and/or intervening when an act of violence has the potential to occur."
Dante Mesa, a senior from Garden City, said changes will come when men stop being comfortable being bystanders and get over the fear of being in the minority when speaking up about sexist behavior.
"it's not saying 'Oh, because I'm not doing it, it doesn't affect me,' because being passive about it means that you're a part of it and you're perpetuating that culture." Mesa said.
Rachel Bullock, a senior from Overland Park, said viewing situations with the potential for sexual assault to occur as an opportunity to do the right thing may be difficult, but it's something that men need to do.
"I think the most import-
an attributs for men are open-mindedness, curiosity and understanding." Bullock said. "I think a really good place to start on the individual level is having the courage to look inward and see the privilege that comes in our society from just being a male."

Capital improvements to the University next year will mean better facilities and opportunities for undergraduate students.
Earlier this month, a legislative panel endorsed the University's budget requests for next year. The $92 million budget will pay for new facilities and updates in the University's next fiscal year, which starts in July 2015. The budget includes updates to undergraduate buildings like Summerfield Hall and money for the new Daisy Hill residence hall.

New facilities could mean more prominence and prestige, said Lindsey Douglas, director of state relations for the University. While many current students will graduate before projects are done, she said the improvements will enhance the value of their education.
"If we are raising the prominence of the University, raising the reputation of the University, we are making better the value of the degrees of the students that graduate in 10 years and the students who graduated two years ago," Douglas said.
Projects like the new engineering building on 15th Street not only raise the stature of the University, but help the state. Tim Caboni, vice

Social equity director bill sent back to Rights Committee
In the weekly meeting, Student Senate decided to push the bill to create and fund a Social Equity Director position back to the Rights Committee at the urging of Student Body President Morgan Said. It was the first full-cycle meeting since switching from interim senate last week.
Initially, it appeared that the vote failed last week in Rights Committee, but later that night Said said she, along with Student Body Vice President Miranda Wagner and Chief of Staff Mitchell Cota, checked the vote and discovered it had been counted incorrectly. The vote had actually passed by an exact two-thirds majority, but because of the confusion, Said said she wanted to bring it back to the committee to hold a revote to clarify the situation.
The senate also voted on legislation that would redefine the development director position within Student Senate executive staff that was presented by current Development Director Zach George. George said that the position has only been around for five years and tends to change with each administration. The position's main priority will now be platform execution. The development director used to also work with senate alumni outreach as well.
"We have on record that it did pass with a two-thirds vote, but because it was announced as a fail in the committee, we just want to make sure we're being as transparent as possible with our committee members, our senators and the student body at large." Said said.
Will Admussen, government relations director, is currently working on voter registration and the senators will table on campus during Civic Engagement Week at the University starting Sept. 30.

College courses should teach more than academics
It's easy to say a person can learn quite a bit in college. In almost any type of field of study, a student can greatly enhance their knowledge about that particular subject, whether it relates to calculus, biology or economics. That's the point of college — to grow in a wide range of subjects and to be the best, well-rounded student as possible, while having the ability to become specialized in a specific subject. That is good, but while you're being
and thats how to deal with everyday issues. How many college students know how to change the oil in their car, or the spark plugs, or even know how to jump their cars when the battery is dead? I bet there aren't many (outside of mechanical engineers) who can do these tasks by themselves. Most people rely solely on AAA or dealerships to fix their problems, which costs money and time.
prepared for a career,
there's one thing college
is neglecting to teach you
By Adam Timmerman
@AdamTweets4You
How many of you can balance a checkbook, set up a mortgage or even sew a button back onto a shirt? With online banking, tailors and reliance on parents, these everyday skills are being lost among Millennials.
Even little things seem to be unknown to
college kids during and after school, like how to do laundry properly or how to cook and eat healthier. It's great that students know.how to find the second derivative, read DNA and how to trace the roots of the environmental movement, but students need to know basic survival skills for when college is over and they become part of the real world.
Let's be honest, unless your job requires it, what skill is the average student going to use more — being able to sew
a button or being able to find the second and third derivative? I recommend the University require students to take one course on how to learn these skills. Students should be knowledgeable in both academics and life skills, creating a real, well-rounded student.

Small acts of kindness can have huge effects
Last week, as I sat down in one of my usual Tuesday/
Thursday classes, something out of the ordinary occurred. Our professor was late to class, which isn't a big deal in most classes, but we have a disabled student who requires help from the professor to set up his desk in the front.
As the students came in and found the desk was not ready for this student, we were in an awkward
and uncomfortable position, we knew the student was not able to arrange his desk by himself. This didn't happen in the back of class where no one can see what was happening; this happened in the front of the room, visible to everyone.
By Anissa Fritz
@Anissa Fritz
As I looked at the student in need of a desk and the students who had already sat down in theirs, I realized everyone was aware of the issue
but did nothing about it — including myself. Eventually a young man in our class had gotten up out of his seat and walked down to the front, pulling out a desk for the student in the wheelchair.
Ever since that day, someone will almost immediately arrange a desk for this particular student when before, the professor would have to make the arrangements.
Because of that one student, people have started to help out someone who couldn't do something for themselves. The point is, never think your acts of kindness are wasted on jerks, or go unnoticed. The world has a lot of rude and bitter
people, but the world also has people who watch and recognize good acts when they see them being done. Who knows, maybe next time you do something nice for someone else, you'll have an article written about you in the paper.

Sophomore models during KC Fashion Week
MARIA SANCHEZ

@MariaSanchezKU
Sophomore Savannah Zielinski was in seventh grade when she met with a New York modeling agent and was told she needed to lose 10 pounds.
"It's definitely hard to be resilient when someone looks at you and says, 'you're not skinny enough' when I was perfectly healthy," Zielinski said. "I took that and realized it's not worth it."
So she stepped out of the modeling world.
Zielinski attended the University in 2012 before moving to Princeton, N.J., for a year with her boyfriend. Zielinski returned to the University this fall to study music education and, after being out of the game for seven years, she also returned to modeling. Zielinski said she felt her career would be more successful now that she was older. Most recently, she tagged along with a friend to audition for Kansas City Fashion Week.
That friend was McCartney Payton of Kansas City, Mo. Payton has participated in Fashion Week before and invited Zielinski to auditions.
"I told her this would be a great opportunity for her because she just recently moved back to Kansas City and she wanted to get back into it," Payton said.
Zielinski and Payton are walking for multiple designers, starting this Friday. Both will walk together for Little Shell Designs and Meredith Lockhart, both of which Zielinski met through her recent

"Walking down the runway is honestly so exhilarating, there's so much adrenaline. It's so quick but it feels like forever."
Once I was chosen to walk for [the designers] I was so excited," she said. "It's a huge event and it's another place to network and find more people to work with and more jobs."
work getting back into the modeling world.
"I live in Lawrence so driving to Kansas City definitely makes it more costly because I am paying for gas every time," Zielinski said. "I am walking for three different designers so I'm going to be driving to Kansas City three times in one weekend. I am one of those stereotypical broke college students."
However, Zielinski said she is okay with the fact she will have to make sacrifices because Fashion Week is such an important event.
The benefits of networking and learning from experience come with a few sacrifices as well that Zielinski has to make as a student. As a model, she is unpaid for her contribution to the shows.
"It's really important, especially for the Kansas City designers" Zielinski said. "To make an established event that the designers of Kansas City can go to and show off and make noise abut their
Although Zielinski said Fashion Week is a great place to network for jobs, she also said the experience is beneficial.
"Something always happens," she said. "I've been in a fashion show where a girl almost fell off the stage. I've been in a fashion show where I actually tripped. It's different practicing and doing your rehearsals. When everyone is watching things will happen out of nerves."
designs. That's important. From a modeling aspect, it's important to be seen and to be doing big events."
Zielinski said she is most excited to work with Althea Harper because she has not seen Harper's entire collection yet. Payton is also excited to work with designers and showcase their styles on the runway.
"Walking down the runway is honestly so exhilarating, there's so much adrenaline," Payton said. "It's so quick but it feels like forever."
In stark contrast to her seventh grade experience with a harsh critic, Zielinski said being on stage gives her a sense of strength and confidence.
"It's very empowering. No matter how insecure you may be in real life, when you get on the stage you are a model," she said. "You are confident and for all intents and purposes you are a blank canvas. You get to be this awesome confident person whether that's in your normal day-to-day persona or if it's not who you really are. When you get on that stage, it's who you are."

Student wins national book collecting contest

Katya Soll has had a passion for Spanish and Latin American theater since she was in middle school. Soll, a graduate student from St. Louis, materialized her passion into a collection of more than 100 books and programs from plays she saw personally. She not only entered her collection into the National Collegiate Book Collecting Contest, but she also won.
Graduate student Katya Soll reads "La señora Macbeth" by Griselda Gambara in her office in Wescoe Hall. Soll entered her collection of more than 100 Latin American theater books into the National Collegiate Book Collecting Contest and won a $2,500 prize as well as $1,000 for KU Libraries.
Soll said it started with a KU competition called the Snyder Book Collecting Contest. The Snyder is a competition through KU Libraries for people who have built up a collection of books and other materials on a specific topic.
Soll won the competition with her impressive collection of books and programs related to Latin American theater. After winning the Snyder Book Collecting Competition, Soll was eligible for the national contest through the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America and the Library of Congress.
"I figured ... why not, I already did the work, let's go ahead and submit it," Soll said. "That was back in the spring, and then they got in touch with me in August to tell me that I won."
When Soll found out she won the national contest, she was completely stunned. She said she hadn't expected to win anything, so she was pleasantly surprised. The national contest awarded her with a $2,500 prize, as well as a $1,000 prize for KU Libraries.
"It was definitely exciting for KU Libraries, as well as the University as a whole," Meyer said. "Her winning goes to raise the profile of the University's libraries, as well as speak for the prestige of the Snyder competition itself."
Soll always had an interest in collecting, but didn't pick up most of the materials in her collection until her trip to South America last sum-
LeAnn Meyer, communications coordinator for KU Libraries, said she was glad Soll won the national contest.
"There was a limit for the Snyder competition," Soll said. "You could only show a maximum of 50 items, and that was really cutting it down for me. I probably have at least twice that much in my overall collection."
"I was going through a phase where I refused to take anything that my older sister had taken, so by default I ended up with Spanish, and then I just fell in love with it and kept going." Soll said.
mer, which included stops in Argentina and Chile. While there, she said she browsed bookstores, collected programs from the nearly 60 plays she saw and stuffed all she could fit in her suitcase.
The art of Spanish and Latin American theater is a specialized field, Soll said. In the U.S., acquiring books about Argentinean theater is difficult and can be expensive. While Soll

was in South America, she knew she needed to pick up as many materials as she could to build her collection.
Once Soll realized she could combine her love for Spanish and theater, she decided she wanted to learn more about Spanish and Latin American theatre and decided to attend graduate school for Spanish.
"I love discovering a new author or a new play," Soll said. "Not only does it expand my understanding of theater and theatrical culture in these countries, but they are incredible and insightful works of art and literature as well."
degree double majoring in theater and Spanish.

"I would notice in my theater classes we barely talked at all about Spanish and Latin American plays," Soll said. "I think our textbook for the theater history had one paragraph on Latin America, and meanwhile I was taking a course where I was reading two plays a week and they were amazing, so I got really interested in translation and translating plays."
For her, the theater major was more important because she knew that was something she wanted to do for the rest of her life. She said Spanish was just something she enjoyed and continued to take.
She said she then began reading more Latin American plays, which sparked a fascination with helping other English speakers learn about them as well.

Fitness Kitchen strives to help others lead healthy lifestyles
RYAN MILLER
@Ryanmiller_UDK
"You can't look at fitness without looking at nutrition," said Ryan Heyer, personal fitness trainer and owner of new Lawrence business Fitness Kitchen. According to its Facebook page, Fitness Kitchen provides healthy food options "already prepared, packaged and waiting for you to pick up, take home and enjoy."
Co-owner of Fitness Kitchen Rebecca Eller said Fitness Kitchen is like fast food, but really for you.
"Fitness Kitchen was originally set up to help supply food to some of my clients, and then my partner and I discussed further to expand this into a business," Heyer said. He said this includes preparing what they dub "Fitkits" and meals for people to eat properly when they don't have time to cook.
Currently, Fitness Kitchen doesn't have a physical location in Lawrence, but is leasing a kitchen instead. Heyer said they've found several locations that the two are interested in, but are looking for somewhere with a kitchen that has enough square feet to put the gym in also.
Although it doesn't have their first location established yet, Fitness Kitchen is technically open now. Heyer encourages anyone interested in starting with Fitness Kitchen to call (785) 727-5893 or to visit fitnesskitchen.org to request more information.
Heyer said Fitness Kitchen offers turkey burgers, buffalo burgers, salads and pizza, as well as unique fitness-orientated food, such as a "buffin." Eller said that a buffin is a soy-free, wheat-free and lactose-free muffin with protein powder and organic berries in it.
"The biggest thing that we are doing for the community is we are trying to supply all of our ingredients from local suppliers, we don't want to go outward," Heyer said. Fitness Kitchen also only uses ingredients that are safe on the body, which means they don't put any preservatives or GMOs in the food; it's all organic and gluten free.
The driving inspiration behind Fitness Kitchen is that Heyer realized he needed to change the food system. He said having Eller come along and have the ability to cook really well inspired him to look further into getting his clients better food too.
now is to help change the food system." Heyer said. "It is going to be difficult, but we're going to help change it, we're going to help inspire people to eat healthy and still have a good taste in food."
"We both feel that at least our one purpose on earth
"It felt like this is what we should be doing, this is a calling for us," Eller said
"I always felt like, 'gosh why isn't there a restaurant where I could just swing by and pick up my workout stuff?"
REBECCA ELLER Co-owner of Fitness Kitchen
Eller and Heyer said the business will soon have product in various coffee shops and stands around Lawrence for people who are interested in Fitness Kitchen. When they do get their first location in Lawrence setup though, the two say they will be ecstatic. They plan to expand into Oklahoma and Colorado as well and have a long-term goal of trying to place a franchise in every major college town in the United States.
Fitness Kitchen has a unique way of getting set up with new clients. Heyer said they like to set up a personal meeting first because food is a very personal thing for people and that a lot of people are in denial of the current food system. He said they bring their clients in for two free initial sessions to discuss things such as their diet plan, fitness plan and overall goals.
"It does work if they set their mind to it and believe in the program," Heyer said. "People are never going to get the body of their dreams until they add the diet part of it to fitness. When you look at a food package, it's not what's on the front, back or side. It's what the ingredients are."
Fitness Kitchen's mission is rooted in personal experience. Heyer said that while growing up, a big inspiration was being around the sports scene. He said he was involved in football, basketball, baseball and even had a twin brother he was very competitive with. Heyer said his football coach was the first person who encouraged him to lift weights and eventually pushed Heyer into personal training.
"He knew it'd be a good fit for me, because I love weight lifting. I loved helping people and it's a good flexible job to get through college," Heyer
Heyer took several classes at Kansas before leaving to take a yearlong program for personal training. Once he returned to college, he found a job in personal training and from there his options rapidly expanded.
"As soon as I got into the fitness world, I never looked back," Heyer said. "I didn't get my degree, and as I went into fitness, they promoted me and I started getting really good clients, and it went from there."
Working as a personal trainer also led Heyer to meet Eller. "I remember when I first joined the gym where he was working." Eller said. "I had no idea how to use any of the machines or anything in the gym." She said one day while walking with the manager, they passed Heyer in the hall, and the manager asked Heyer if he'd like to train Eller. Eller said. "Ryan literally gave me this look up and down, and he's like, 'yeah, I can do something with this.' She said as time went on Heyer inspired her to do better, and take better care of herself, as well as to eat better.
Heyer said that's when the idea of Fitness Kitchen came
said.
to life. Heyer said before they had the idea for the business. Eller was making his food for personal training.
"I said instead of paying me, why don't you make my food? I didn't have time to prepare my food because I was busy training all the time," Heyer said.
Heyer said that often times he would have clients so early he would sleep on the floor in the gym with a bunch of yoga mats, and be woken up by the front desk attendants.
"My clients were doing better than I was because they were listening to my advice of working out and eating properly and I was just working out and under eating all the time." Heyer said. After Eller began making his food, Heyer said it was amazing, and said, "We could just do this for all my clients."
Eller said in addition to making his meals, Heyer would help her to figure out what to eat before and after her workout. "I always felt like, gosh why isn't there a restaurant where I could just swing by and pick up my workout stuff?" she said. "So, why can't we do this?" So they did.
So they did.

Denzel levels playing field in 'The Equalizer'
"The Equalizer" based off a 1980s television show, distinctly feels like a big action movie from the '90s, with an older, simple-living, do-good er hero who can masterfully take out the bad guys and faces a villain who is more memorable than him.
Denzel Washington is the kind of talented and charismatic movie star worth seeing in any film, and he's among the best at striking out with controlled fury. In "The Equalizer", he plays McCall, a retired killer of some sort living a new life as a Home Depot manager, spending each night at the same diner reading literary classics. There he befriends another regular, Teri (Chloe Grace Moretz), a young prostitute trapped in her situation by Russian gangsters.
When her situation gets too dire, McCall steps in and gives the gangsters a chance to let her go. They decline his offer, so McCall kills each of them with astounding brutality. This is visualized similarly to the recent "Sherlock Holmes" movies, as time nearly stops and McCall analyzes his surroundings, noticing the details, the available items to use as weapons and how to attack each enemy — then quickly does so with absolute precision. A shot glass through an eye socket here, a corkscrew to the neck there, whatever works.
By Alex Lamb
@Lambcannon
The awesome burst of
extreme violence is ultra-gratifying after the preceding character-building scenes, and the contrast between these vigilante actions and how McCall comes to work the next day as his encouraging helpful self is amusing. As his routine carries on normally for a little while, merciless Russian mob enforcer Teddy (Marton Cskakas) arrives in town to deal with whoever is responsible for the slaughter.
Teddy doesn't mess around, quickly rising above typical, forgettable action villains as Csokas imbues him with a slithering unpredictability and gives a livewire to his no-nonsense demeanor that creates palpable tension every scene he's in. He and Washington have several bracing encounters with each other, and McCall sets out to dismantle the Russian mob operation once Teddy refuses to quit pursuing him.
Following his success with "Olympus Has Fallen," director Antoine Fuqua has built an even more thrilling action spectacle here, crafting his best work since the other time he directed Washington in "Training Day." He
has a stylish hand for the action, making each sequence exciting and intensely felt, although he occasionally goes over the top.
The sound of the film leaves an impression as well, especially in the booming IMAX, as the atmospheric score by Harry Gregson-Williams and the robust sound design deepen the danger and strengthen the violence.
Thanks to the engrossing performers, Richard Wenk's screenplay overcomes most of its genre tropes (besides McCall being nearly invincible, although his skills are so cool that it's not too bothersome). The time spent developing the characters so viewers are actually invested in them is appreciated, as is the thoughtful wit in the dialogue.
Washington's performance oscillates between a calm, pleasant and semi-OCD regular Joe to an unstoppable, cold-blooded agent of justice like a flip of the switch, reminding us why he's one of Hollywood's most enjoyable and dependable leading men
and dependable reading men.
And if all that wasn't entertaining enough, "The Equalizer" ends with a resourceful, exhilarating showdown in Home Depot that takes advantage of the hardware and tools as instruments of death.
If only all trips to the hardware store were that satisfying.

Lawrence Public Library to sell donated books
VICKY DIAZ-CAMACHO
@vickyd_c
"I grew up in a home that didn't have any books," said Georgann Eglinski, retired KU law professor and lawyer, who has volunteered for the program for almost 15 years. "There's something about owning a book — the joy of seeing people finding books that they love, a child finding a favorite book, maybe [one] they borrowed from the library. It's just fantastic."
Friends of the Lawrence Public Library will host a book, CD and DVD sale today through Saturday. Items will cost $5 or less. The sale will take place on the Kentucky Street side of the library, located at 707 Vermont St. Memberships to the Friends of Lawrence Public Library will be sold at the door for $10.
The books are donations from the community and students can find many college textbooks in the collection as well. This year, the sale has approximately 25,000 books, 3,500 DVDs, almost 5,000 children's and young adult books, and several hundred audiobooks, said Kandyce Horn, Friends program manager.
Eglinski said the sale not only raises money for the library but also circulates more books into homes around the community. Every month, the money earned helps fundraise for literacy programs at the Lawrence Public Library such as the Summer Reading, Book Club in a Bag and Read Across Lawrence. Fundraising is steered by Friends of the Lawrence Public Library, a nonprofit organization founded in 1972.
The Friends organization is operated by a number of former University staff, alumni and current student volunteers. This year, 15 students will volunteer. One of the founders, Mary Burchill, former librarian at the University law library, is the current chairperson.
"There's something about owning a book — the joy of seeing people, finding books that they love, a child finding a favorite book..."
"There is a social aspect to the organization, volunteers

become friends with one another and build relationships outside of the Friends. Plus, it's just a fun place to volunteer," Horn said. "Volunteers tend to be drawn to causes that have meaning to them, most of us are voracious readers and many are retired educators and librarians, although many other professions are represented as well."
Horn began as a volunteer but said she couldn't pass up the opportunity to work for an organization whose primary mission is to raise funds while redistributing books at an affordable price into the community. Beyond the continued support of the organization's mission, Horn said there are a number of reasons why people continue with the Friends.
"Every day is different because you never know what books you might be sorting, a volunteer may find something they have been looking for or never knew they needed," she said. "You can see what your contributions have affected each time you walk through the library."

Nighy sees similar struggles for gays and striking miners
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
When Bill Nighy was a young actor at the National Theatre in London, older gay cast members would talk to him about the country's harsh policies, which forced them to stay in the closet.
Being gay, recalled the rangy 64-year-old British actor, "just stopped being an imprisonable offense in my lifetime. They could get seven years for any public display of affection. One of the things I don't understand is why (the government) should feel they should get involved in anybody else's sex life."
"Even when the fear of imprisonment ended, the discrimination didn't. It was only 30 years ago that a national newspaper in England could describe the gay community as the slime of society and no one commented," said Nighy, who became a favorite with American audiences in such films as "Love Actually" and "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel."
He spoke earlier this month from Toronto where his latest movie, "Pride," was screening at the film festival. In the true-life drama, which opens Friday, Nighy plays Cliff, a gay, shy former miner who has kept his sexual orientation a secret out of fear that coming out will leave his life in shambles.
Set during the yearlong national miners' strike in 1984, "Pride" revolves around the birth of the Lesbians & Gays Support the Miners movement and how these activists help the mining community of Onllwyn in South Wales. Though many of the union members and townspeople are initially antagonistic to the group, Cliff and several of the women in the town, led by Imelda Staunton's spirited Hefina, warmly embrace the activists.
"it's beyond refreshing to get a movie that treats these decent men and women who worked in the mining
Thirty years ago, according to Nighy, the miners were being treated as badly as the gay and lesbian community. "The miners' strike was for the most part misrepresented at the time," he said.
community with dignity and respect," said Nighy, who comes from working-class roots. "They were being beaten up by the policeand being invented as enemies of the state."
the conservative government,led by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher,Nigly added, "wanted to crush the trade union movement and they started with the miners because they were the strongest."
If it wasn't for Nighy and Staunton, "Pride" might not have been made. "The film couldn't be green lit until it had some recognizable actors," noted Matthew Warchus, who directed the CBS Films release.
Ben Schnetzer, who plays
"The miners' strike was for the most part misrepresented at the time."
BILL NIGHY Actor
gay activist Mark Ashton, said working with Nigy was a "master class in film acting - getting to watch him work and craft his character."
Since his real-life counterpart is dead, Nighy got some insight into Cliff from chatting with surviving members of the mining community. There was some heartening news that Nighy discovered.
"Apparently subsequent to these events he found a partner" he said.
One of the most poignant scenes in "Pride" is when Cliff comes out to Hefina while they are making sandwiches and she tells him matter-of-factly she's known his secret for nearly two decades.
Nighy said he often has to "pinch himself" over his good fortune of working multiple times with such noted writers as Richard Curtis, Tom Stoppard and especially David Hare.
The actors, said Warchus, didn't need any direction for that sequence.
"I set up the camera," Warchus said. "I said, 'Do you want to rehearse?' And they said, 'No, let's give it a go.' And that was that. What you see is the first take."
"I've worked with David Hare all my life," he said. "I think he counted the other day and it comes up to 10 times."
Three years ago, Nighy starred as the cool and rather sexy _ at least to the over-40 crowd _ master spy Johnny Worricker in Hare's thriller "Page Eight," which aired on PBS "Masterpiece Contemporary." This November, Nighy returns to PBS as Worricker in two new thrillers written and directed by Hare:"Turks & Caicos" and "Salting the Battlefield."
Nighy gets to work opposite Christopher Walken in "Turks & Caicos," with the latter playing a quirky character who may or may not be a CIA operative. "He is a hero of mine," Nighy said of Walken. "I think probably he is the funniest man I ever met in my life."
Nighy also teamed up with Hare this year in the London West End revival of Hare's romantic drama "Skylight", which the actor originally did 17 years ago. That production, which also stars Carey Mulligan, is heading to Broadway in the spring.
He'll also be returning next year with Judi Dench and Maggie Smith in the drama "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." Richard Gere is checking into the sequel to the surprise 2011 breakout hit "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel."
Though Nighy worked steadily in theater, TV and movies, his career didn't achieve international recognition until his award-winning turn as a washed-up rock star in Curtis' 2003 comedy "Love Actually."
Nighy, who was 53 when "Love Actually" was released, acknowledged he really doesn't know if he could have handled that type of success as a younger man.
"I wasn't very good at being young," he noted."I made a bit of a meal of it. If I had known if things were going to work out, I would have arranged to be more cheerful along the way."

Moran quits Eisenhower Memorial project in D.C.
ASSOCIATED PRESS

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Members of a federal commission planning a memorial near the National Mall to honor the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower are voting on how to proceed after years of controversy.
WASHINGTON — After more than a decade of planning and millions spent to build a memorial near the National Mall honoring the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a key lawmaker who has helped oversee the project from the start is stepping away.
Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran resigned from the Eisenhower Memorial Commission before the panel voted Wednesday to move forward with a design by architect Frank Gehry after years of controversy.
Moran quietly submitted his resignation last week after concluding that paying homage to lke's home state of Kansas in the design has become a stumbling block for Gehry's concept for the memorial park, a spokeswoman for the senator said.
Gehry proposed a memorial park with statues of Ike as president and as World War II general. A large metal tapestry would depict the Kansas landscape of Eisenhower's boyhood home.
Eisenhower's family has opposed the tapestry concept and called for a simpler design. Critics have mounted a campaign against the design that has delayed the project for years.
Moran wants the memorial to be built and has advocated for Kansas to have a presence in the design, spokeswoman Garrette Silverman said. But he decided that might be a hindrance to completing the memorial.
"Sen. Moran's ongoing support for the inclusion of Kansas has led him to conclude that this stance
is blocking a memorial to President Eisenhower from completion." Silverman said in an email. "He appreciates the dedication of the Eisenhower Commission staff in seeing that this memorial becomes a reality and hopes an Eisenhower Memorial is completed soon."
Gehry, the famous Los Angeles-based architect, presented a revised design this month after hearing objections and eliminated two tapestries on the sides of the park, leaving one as a backdrop to keep the Kansas motif. Gehry has said the heartland is central to the war hero and president's legacy as like once noted he was most proud to be from Kansas.
The memorial commission voted 8-2 with one abstention Wednesday to move forward with Gehry's revised design. In October, it will go before a key federal agency that oversees planning for the nation's capital.
Kansas' senators have championed the project for years but have rarely defended it publicly against critics.
Last year, Sen. Pat Roberts said it "brings Kansas to the National Mall" and reflects Eisenhower's roots and values.
Moran was one of the commission's original lawmakers. He began serving in 2001 as a congressman and maintained his seat when he was elected to the Senate nine years later. In June 2013, Moran called on the commission to endorse Gehry's design, and the panel voted unanimously to move forward with the concept.
Critics, though, have continued to campaign against the design.
"We don't object to Kansas being in the memorial, but it should be an image of Kansas that is recognizable as such," said Justin Shubow of the National Civic Art Society, a group that has opposed Gehry's design. "A baron plain of trees is not Kansas, and the fact that it is winter is a bleak and unpleasant image."
Commission Chairman Rocco Siciliano, who served in the Eisenhower White House, thanked Moran for his long service.

BOSTON — A time capsule apparently has been found in an unusual place: the head of a lion statue at the building that once served as the seat of Massachusetts government.
Boston time capsule found in head of copper lion statue
The Bostonian Society, which operates a museum at the Old State House, said Tuesday it confirmed the presence of what had long been rumored to be a time capsule from 1901 tucked away inside the copper statue. The statue was recently taken down from the roof as part of a restoration effort.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A fiber optic camera was used to locate the time capsule — in actuality a copper box — in the head of the lion, according to Heather Leet, the society's director of development. The next steps, she said, will include an attempt to carefully open the statue without damaging it, followed by the removal of the box and examination of its contents.
The group first learned of
the potential existence of the time capsule several years ago from a woman who was a descendent of the original sculptor.
The society did some further research and uncovered a 1901 article about the time capsule in The Boston Globe,
"She had a letter from him and a list of things in the time capsule," said Leet.
"We're really looking forward to seeing what those letters say."
HEATHER LEET Bostonian Society
she said.
Newspaper clippings and photographs from the period, along with letters from politicians and other prominent Bostonians of the era, are among the items expected to be found in the box, which could be opened as
early as next week.
"We're really looking forward to seeing what those letters say" said Leet, adding that they could contain messages written to future generations.
The first lion statue, along with that of a unicorn, was placed on the building in 1713 as symbols to mark the unification of England and Scotland, Leet said.
The Boston Massacre took place just outside the building in 1770. In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read to Bostonians from the balcony. After the war of independence, the building served as the first seat of Massachusetts government until construction of the current Statehouse in the late 18th century.
The Old State House, among Boston's most popular tourist attractions, has a storied history. It was one of the city's most important civic buildings in colonial times and later became a focal point of the American Revolution.

Startup Weekend comes to Lawrence
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@mariss193
Startup Weekend, a weekend-long conference for entrepreneurs, is coming to Lawrence this weekend for the first time. Startup weekends offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to put their ideas to the test and see if they are viable. The conference will start at 5 p.m. on Friday and continue throughout the weekend to 9 p.m. on Sunday at the Lawrence Public Library.
Startup Weekend is a non-profit organization started in Seattle with staff in 200 cities worldwide including Mongolia, South Africa, London, Brazil and now Lawrence, according to the company's website.
Startup Weekend has done over 1,500 events in 726 cities, created over 13,000 startups and had over 123,000 entrepreneurs involved according to its website.
"Things have changed. Two or three guys with a few hundred or thousand dollars can go out there and build a product that can turn out a billion dollar company," Eugene Woo, entrepreneur in Startup Weekend's video, said.
The organizers are Devon Bull, a senior from Denton, Texas, and past president of KU entrepreneurship club, Jacob Vollfeld, a junior from Lawrence and current president of KU entrepreneurship club, and former University of Kansas students, Joe Jarvis,
founder of Tall Grass Legal, and Beth Mckeon, founder of Kids Calendar.
"I think everyone has ideas, I think everyone to some degree is an innovator."
RONAN LEVY
Ex-lawyer
Von Feldt said after attending Startup Weekends in other cities, Startup Weekend organizers Jarvis and Mckeon decided last spring to bring the event to Lawrence. They contacted Bull and Von Feldt to help organize their event as soon as planning commenced to further the event's entrepreneur and university connections, Von Feldt said.
The weekend is geared towards people who have business ideas and are interested in peer feedback. The weekend starts with sharing ideas and, from there, the top ideas have teams that naturally form around them. Teams then will spend the rest of the conference planning their final presentation given to local entrepreneur leaders, event attendants and other observers. The final presentation is open to the public who would like to purchase a ticket on the event registration website. A $10 ticket includes dinner and a seat to watch the final presentations.
Out of the attendants, 13 to 14 University students will be attending. Von Feldt said. The attendees include entrepreneurs across the Lawrence area, people who own their own businesses, who code or design, or who are involved in the startup scene, Von Feldt said.
"I think everyone has ideas, I think everyone to some degree is an innovator. But an entrepreneur is someone who takes that idea and acts upon it and tries to execute upon it," Ronan Levy, ex-lawyer in the Startup Weekend Video, said.
The teams will be judged by three judges from Lawrence who have a comprehensive background in business and currently run a startup or serve as a startup consultant, according to the event website. The judges are Michele Weigand, founder of Focused Perspective, Suman Saripalli, founder of KalScott Engineering, and Will Katz, director of University of Kansas Small Business Development Center.
Eight coaches will also be attending the startup weekend to give advice to teams along the way. The coaches come from wide backgrounds such as strategic marketing, social media, engineering, design, software development, business and law.

Erotica chain to sell goods to pay back taxes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The sale is being held so the owner of five adult stores can pay off a tax debt to the state.
TOPEKA — An online sale of sex toys could give Kansas a boost of revenue.
The Kansas Department of Revenue seized items in July from the stores — operated by United Outlets LLC, under the name Bang — for failure to pay sales, income and withholding taxes of $163,986, spokeswoman Jeanine Koranda said. Two stores were in Topeka and one each was in Junction City, Wichita and Kansas City, Kansas.
Koranda said the assets were released back to the owner to auction the property.
Senate Minority Leader
Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, used the auction to make a dig at Gov. Sam Brownback, saying the Republican leader was "so desperate to fill the massive hole in the state budget caused by his reckless income tax cuts that the state of Kansas is now in the porn business."
Brownback faces a strong challenge from Democratic challenger Paul Davis because of concerns about whether tax cuts are boosting the economy or potentially ruining the state's finances. Brownback and his supporters insist his policies — particularly aggressive income tax cuts — have helped to create nearly 55,000 new private-sector jobs since he took office in January
2011. The Legislature's nonpartisan research staff is predicting a $238 million budget shortfall by July 2016.
Eileen Hawley, the governor's spokeswoman, defended the sale, saying the same process has been use in previous administrations.
"While we do not agree with the type of business involved here, it was nonetheless a legal business that was closed due to failure to pay taxes." Hawley said in a news release. She went on to say the state can't legally destroy property and that returning it would have rewarded the business that violated state tax law.
United Outlets owner, Larry H. Minkoff, of Prairie Village, didn't have a listed phone number.
Kobach seeks to intervene in Kansas Senate dispute
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Republican Secretary of State Kris Kobach jumped Wednesday into a lawsuit filed by a disgruntled voter seeking to force Kansas Democrats to name a new U.S. Senate nominee in hopes of speeding the resolution of a legal dispute shadowing a race with possible national implications.
Kobach filed a motion to intervene in Shawnee County District Court and a request for a decision by Oct. 1, saying quick action is necessary so ballots can be printed in time for people to begin voting in advance on Oct. 15. Kobach, like the voter, argues that a state election law requires Democrats to replace ex-nominee Chad Taylor, who earlier this month dropped out of the race against three-term Republican Sen. Pat Roberts.
Some Democrats pushed Taylor out, seeing independent candidate Greg Orman as the stronger rival for Roberts — and they don't want a new nominee, fearing a major split of the anti-Roberts vote. Many Republicans are pushing for a new Democratic candidate to increase the chances of Roberts holding the seat and the GOP recapturing a Senate majority.
The voter who sued the Kansas Democratic Party and three top officials is David Orel, 57, of Kansas City, Kansas. His son works for the re-election campaign of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback who, like Kobach, serves on Roberts' honorary campaign committee. But the elder Orel has been a registered Democrat at least since 1999 and voted in the Democratic primary this year, voter regis-
Kobach said in an interview that he wants to intervene because, as the state's top elections official, the court might want to order his office to take some action. A three-judge panel will hear the case.
"In this particular case, the wheels of justice have to grind quickly, not slowly," Kobach said. "We're just trying to pave the way for the court to do whatever it wants to do quickly and efficiently."

Graham was last seen early Saturday, Sept. 13. A man authorities believe is the last person seen with Graham before she disappeared is being sought on arrest warrants charging him with reckless driving. Authorities also said they want to talk to him about Graham.
Man captured in case of missing university student

RICHMOND, Va. — A man charged in the disappearance of a University of Virginia student was captured in Texas on Wednesday, a day after police announced they had probable cause to arrest him.
Police believe Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr. was the last person seen with Hannah Graham, an 18-year-old sophomore who went missing on Sept. 13. Authorities obtained a felony warrant for his arrest late Tuesday. He has been charged with abduction with intent to defile.
Matthew had sped away from a police station Saturday after coming with family members to ask for a lawyer. It's not clear whether the longtime area resident knew Graham, who was last seen in an area lined with shops and restaurants where police believe she went into a bar with him.
Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo announced Matthew's capture at a news conference Wednesday night. He said Matthew was in custody in Galveston, Texas, and would be extradited to Virginia.
Longo added that police were still searching for Graham.
"This case is nowhere near over," said the police chief, who did not take questions from reporters. "We have a person in custody but there's a long road ahead of us."
A dispatcher at the sheriff's office in Galveston referred questions about the arrest and timing of Matthew's extradition to Charlottesville police, who did not provide details at the news conference and did not immediately respond to telephone messages afterward.
Adam S. Lee, special agent in charge of the FBI office in Richmond, said at the news conference that "the real hero of today is an employee, a deputy with the Galveston County Sheriff's Office."
"So wed like to, on behalf of the FBI, thank them for their very effective police work today."
The case has spread fear through the quiet community about 70 miles west of Richmond. Authorities have increased patrols and a late-night transportation program for students, who also have begun walking in pairs at night and are paying closer attention to their surroundings.
According to police, Graham met friends at a restaurant for dinner on Sept. 12 before stopping by two parties at off-campus housing units. She left the second party alone, police have said, and sent a text message to a friend saving she was lost.
While police continued searching for Graham and struggled to make sense of what led to her disappearance, a vigil was scheduled Wednesday evening at her alma mater, West Potomac High School in northern Virginia. Graham was an alpine skier and alto saxophone player who had earned straight As six years in a row, according to family members and police.
Surveillance videos showed her walking, and at some points running, past a pub and a service station and then onto the Downtown Mall, a seven-block pedestrian strip where police believe she entered a bar with Matthew.
The university said he's been employed at the University of Virginia Medical Center since Aug. 12, 2012, as a patient technician in the operating room.
The charges against the 6-foot-2, 270-pound Matthew surprised Dave Hansen, who first met him about 11 years ago when Hansen served as an assistant pastor at an area church.
"I always thought he was a gentle giant, just a nice guy," Hansen said. "He seemed genuine with his faith and spirituality. ... I don't see him
doing this at all, but that's usually the case, I guess."
ransen said he's only kept up with Matthew through Facebook, but ran into him at the university's medical center within the last year. He said the soft-spoken Matthew greeted him in an elevator with a high-five.

CINCINNATI — An Ohio grand jury found officers' actions were justified in last month's fatal shooting of a man holding an air rifle at a Wal-Mart store, a special prosecutor said Wednesday, a decision the man's family said left them "disgusted."
About 100 people rally on Monday in support of John Crawford Jr. and his family in their pursuit for answers into the Aug. 5 shooting of John Crawford III, in Beavercreek,, Ohio. The rally coincides with the selection of the special grand jury that will consider evidence and decide whether any criminal charges should be filed in the fatal police officer-involved shooting.
The Greene County grand jury in Xenia opted not to issue any indictments in the Aug. 5 death of 22-year-old John Crawford III in Beavercreek, Special Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier said.
A 911 caller reported Crawford was waving what appeared to be a rifle in the store. Police he didn't obey commands to put down what turned out to be an air rifle taken from a shelf.
Crawford's family, which has called for a federal investigation, said it was "incomprehensible" that police were not indicted.
"The Crawford family is extremely disappointed, disgusted and confused," the statement said. "They are heartbroken that justice was not done in the tragic death of their only son."
The U.S. Department of Justice said federal authorities will review the facts and circumstances surrounding the shooting. Crawford's family has repeatedly asked for a federal investigation to see if race was a factor. Crawford was black and the officers are white.
Store surveillance video shown during the announcement shows Crawford walking in the aisles while apparently talking on a cellphone. Crawford picks up the air rifle
which Piepmeier said had apparently been taken out of a box and on a shelf — and
continues walking through the store. A short time later, police arrive and Crawford is shot twice while still holding the air rifle.
The Crawford family accused Piepmeier and Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine of not attempting to get an indictment. They also said the store surveillance tape proves that Crawford's death was not justified.
"The tragedy is that once again, our criminal justice system has failed our community."
LORI COLEMAN
Leader of Dayton NAACP
criminal justice committee
Prosecutor Stacey De-Graffenreid, who assisted Piepmeier, said Crawford was shot twice by one officer, once in the elbow and one in the side under the rib area slightly from the front to the back. De-Graffenreid says no other shots were fired after Crawford went down, dropping the rifle.
"This was a real tragedy," DeGraffenreid said in a telephone interview. But she said that based on what information the officers had when they entered the Wal-Mart, they were doing what they were trained to do.
U. S. Attorney Carter Stewart in Columbus released a statement saying the department's Civil Rights Division, the FBI, and his office will conduct an independent review of the case.
The city of Beavercreek had said a statement that was asking the FBI to conduct a review to determine if there were any civil rights violations. DeW-
ine said after the decision was announced that he thought it is an appropriate time for the Justice Department to look into whether any federal laws were violated.
DeWine said state authorities have been in frequent contact with federal officials and will turn over requested investigative files to them.
Crawford's family also had repeatedly asked state investigators to release the surveillance video publicly, and Facebook groups and online
petitions pushed for the release. The Ohio attorney general's office says the video was released publicly with the end of the grand jury proceeding
Representatives of the Dayton NAACP said the video clips presented by the prosecutor don't show imminent danger that would justify Crawford's fatal shooting.
"The tragedy is that once again, our criminal justice system has failed our community," said Lori Coleman, who leads the Dayton NAACP's
criminal justice committee
Dayton NAACP President Derrick Foward called the grand jury's decision "unbelievable."
But Lori Shaw, a University of Dayton law professor who has been following the case, said she was not surprised with the grand jury's decision.
gammy, it was a particular instance, because the police had reason to believe that a weapon was involved, it made it much less likely that there would be a charge," Shaw said.
She said because mass shootings have taken place in a variety of public places, police can be under added pressure in such cases.
"We're in 2014 ... I think the public is a lot more on edge, and I'm sure that police are more on edge."
"It's a tragic situation all the way around."
Wal-Mart customer Angela Williams, 37, also died after suffering a medical problem during the store's evacuation
US stocks advance after three days of declines
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — U.S. stocks rebounded Wednesday and had their best performance in more than a month, led by gains in health care and consumer staples companies.
Once again, investors were willing to step in to buy any noticeable dip in the market, even as more bad news emerged about Europe's economy and worries over violence in Iraq and Syria continued.
The Dow Jones industrial average advanced 154.19 points, or 0.9 percent, to 17,210.06 its best day since Aug. 18. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 15.53 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,998.30 and the Nasdaq composite rose 46.53 points, or 1 percent, to 4,555.22.
The gains came after three days of losses for the S&P 500 and two straight days of triple-digit losses for the Dow Jones industrial average. With the gains Wednesday, the Dow recovered more than half of what it lost Monday and Tuesday.
The biggest gainer in the S&P 500 was Bed Bath & Beyond, which rose $4.64, or 7.4 percent, to $67.33. The home furnishings company reported a quarterly profit of $1.17 a share, two cents above analysts' expectations. The company also raised its full-year forecast.
Wal-Mart rose $1.48 to $77.08, making it the second-biggest advancer in the Dow. The retail giant took a big step into the financial services sector, announcing a new checking account program for customers in collaboration with Green Dot. The news sent Green Dot shares soaring $4.59, or 24 percent, to $23.41.
Investors also got a positive
report on the U.S. economy. Sales of new homes jumped 18 percent in August, reaching an annual rate of 504,000, according to the Commerce Department, far better than the 430,000 rate economists had expected.
Even with Wednesday's gain.
"It's clear now that the Russian sanctions are causing a slowdown in the European economy, particularly manufacturing."
ANASTASIA AMOROSO Global markets strategist
there's a lot of caution in the market, traders say.
Investors continue to focus on Europe's economic malaise and tensions in the Middle East after the U.S. and several
Arab nations attacked the Islamic State group's headquarters in Syria.
The Ifo business confidence index in Germany, Europe's largest economy, dropped for a fifth month in September. The decline was larger than expected and confirmed that Europe's economy remains weak. The day before, a closely watched business gauge for the region fell to a nine-month low. The eurozone's economy has been flat or barely growing since April, hobbled by the lingering effects of a debt crisis, uncertainty over a conflict in Ukraine and a lack of confidence among consumers, businesses and banks.
"It's clear now that the Russian sanctions are causing a slowdown in the European economy, particularly manufacturing," said Anastasia Amoroso, a global markets strategist at JPMorgan Funds. "But
we see this as a temporary soft patch."
Health care stocks rebounded after taking a beating at the start of the week on news that the U.S. was tightening rules on a tax-saving maneuver called an "inversion." Many of the companies using the tactic, in which a smaller company is acquired overseas so that the U.S. company can move its headquarters there and take advantage of lower tax rates, have been health companies.
AbbVie, which fell nearly 2 percent Tuesday, rose 2.6 percent Wednesday.
Other health care names helping the overall market were the biotechnology stocks such as Biogen, Celgene and Vertex Pharmaceuticals. They all rose 3 percent or more.
U. S. government bond prices fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.57 percent from 2.53 percent the day
before.
In other markets, benchmark U.S. crude oil rose $1.24 to $92.80 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil rose after the government reported a larger-than-expected decline in oil stocks. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, rose 10 cents to close at $96.95 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
The euro slid to $1.28 and the dollar rose to 108.94 Japanese yen. The price of gold fell $2.50 to $1,219.50 an ounce. Silver fell eight cents to $17.70 an ounce and copper rose two cents to $3.05 a pound.
In other energy futures trading on the NYMEX, wholesale gasoline rose 3.5 cents to close at $2.664 a gallon, heating oil rose 0.6 cent to close at $2.689 a gallon and natural gas rose 9.5 cents to close at $3.911 per 1,000 cubic feet

University launches beer-making program
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT - Colleges and beer have a long shared history. A university in Michigan is taking that partnership to a new level with the creation of a program to train and certify experts in "fermentation science."
Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant this week announced plans to launch the program in fall 2015, aimed particularly at supporting and boosting the state's fast-growing craft brewing industry, now a $1 billion-plus annual business.
"There's a lot of romantic attachment to beer."
"As of 2013, Michigan ranked fifth in the nation in number of breweries, behind only California, Colorado, Oregon and Washington," said Ian Davison, dean of the College of Science and Technology at the Mount Pleasant school.
Michigan State University has operated an artisan distilling program for 15 years and last year started a beverage specialization program that also includes beer and wine-making.
Central Michigan bills its undergraduate program as the first in the state specifically aimed at providing a "handson education focused on craft beer." Similar programs operate at the University of California's Davis and San Diego campuses and at Oregon State and Central Washington universities.
SCOTT GRAHAM Michigan Brewers Guild
The Central Michigan program will include classroom and lab work in biochemistry, chemistry and microbiology, as well as a 200-hour internship in a "production-scale facility"
The university, which is about 150 miles northwest of Detroit, said it is collaborating with the Mountain Town Brewing Co. and Hunter's Ale House in developing the program.
Program director Cordell DeMattei said it "will fill a need in the state and across the region for students to learn the science and technology underlying brewing ... and provides the training needed by future leaders of the craft brewing industry."
Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in small-scale, local, high-quality beer-making.
Rob Sirrine of the Michigan State University Extension said more than 400 acres of hops, beer's key flavoring ingredient, are under cultivation in Michigan. Growers' main market is small-sale in-state brewers, he said.
Behind the growth in demand for high-end beer is a long-running fascination with the brewing process, one of the oldest forms of human food processing.
"There's a lot of romantic attachment to beer," said Scott Graham, executive director of the Michigan Brewers Guild. The Lansing-based group represents the state's microbreweries, now numbering more than 160, and helped win passage this year of laws allowing them to expand.
In-state microbrewers currently have 5 percent of Michigan's beer market, a share that could easily double or triple, Graham said.
RIGHTS FROM PAGE 2A
Forty years after meeting at the University, they are now fighting to change marriage rights for same-sex couples in Kansas. They said it's become easier to be openly gay and that they've never had any problems in Lawrence as far as getting housing and dealing with bankers to buy property, even in the late 1980s and '90s.
They are sharing their story at Free and Equal Kansas, an event sponsored by several LGBTQ student groups. They said there are students who come from all over who have different voices and perspectives and they hope to help raise a more unified voice in support of equal marriage rights in the community.
Nelson said it has taken a lot of work and energy to raise funds to support the lawsuit, but it's worth it to them.
"You've got to keep focused on it as a vision," he said.
Joey Hentzler, a senior from Topeka, was the one who met Dedemon and Nelson and suggested they come to Lawrence to share their story. Hentzler met the couple last year during Kansas City Pride Fest.
Hentzler said Free and Equal Kansas will be a discussion about LGBTQ issues, social justice and same-sex marriage in general, and Dedmon and Nelson will tell their story and talk about the lawsuit.
"We have a progressive past and we also have a progressive present, and that's what I want to plug students in to, to make them realize that this battle is
going on right now," Hentzler said.
He also hopes that the event will get people primed for the upcoming election and inspire them to become politically active in supporting gay rights.
"That's another thing that I'm wanting to come from this discussion, is to make people mad or to make people want to do something about it. So when we see discrimination, not only can we use the courts, but we also can use the legislature and our vote," Hentzler said.

Free and Equal Kansas will take place Thursday night, at 7 p.m. in the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center on campus.
Perry campaigns for Brownback in Wichita
WICHITA - Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Wednesday that Kansas has a competitive business climate and that his Republican coileague Gov. Sam Brownback is his rival for economic development and investment.

Brownback is locked in a close race with Democratic challenger Paul Davis amid voter backlash over cuts to classroom spending and massive tax cuts that have created revenue shortfalls.
The Kansas governor "understands you cannot tax and spend yourself into prosperity," Perry said.
GOP headquarters in Wichita that Kansas is "headed in the right direction" on an upward trajectory.
"Now we have a business climate in Kansas better than Texas," he said in a brief statement.
Perry told the fewer than 100 supporters who attended a Brownback campaign rally at
About 150 supporters of Davis showed up to protest outside the private donor reception Brownback was hosting with Perry later that evening.
Kansas Democratic Party chairwoman Joan Wagnon said in a statement that Brown-
back has modeled his administration after the recently indicted Texas governor, saying Perry has made deep cuts to public schools and overseen a troubling rise in childhood poverty.
Chris Pumpelly, spokesman for the Davis campaign, agreed.
"Sam Brownback keeps bringing other state' governors to Kansas, but there's little these other education-cutting governors can do to fix the damage Brownback's experiment has done to Kansas," Pumpelly said in an emailed statement.
Marijuana legalization effort begins in California
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A national marijuana advocacy group took steps Wednesday to begin raising money for a campaign to legalize recreational pot use in California in 2016, a move with potential to add a dose of extra excitement to the presidential election year.
The Marijuana Policy Project filed paperwork with the California secretary of state's office registering a campaign committee to start accepting and spending contributions for a pot legalization initiative on the November 2016 state ballot, the group said.
The measure would be similar to those passed in 2012 by voters in Colorado and Washington, the first U.S. states to legalize commercial sales of marijuana to all adults over 21.
California, long the national leader in illegal marijuana production and home to a thriving, largely unregulated medical marijuana industry, is one of the 21 other states that currently allow marijuana use only for medical reasons. The drug remains illegal under federal law.
"Marijuana prohibition has had an enormously detrimental impact on California communities. It's been ineffective, wasteful and counterproductive. It's time for a more responsible approach." Marijuana Policy Project Executive Director Rob Kampia said. "Regulating and taxing marijuana similarly to alcohol just makes sense."
based group also has established campaign committees to back legalization measures in Arizona, Massachusetts and Nevada in 2016.
The Washington, D.C.
Voters in Oregon, Alaska and the District of Columbia will weigh in on marijuana legalization in November.
"When an issue is taken up in California, it becomes a national issue."
LYNNE LYMAN California Director of the Drug Policy Alliance
In 2010, California voters rejected a ballot initiative seeking to legalize recreational pot. The measure, just like the medical marjuana law the state approved in 1996, was the first of its kind. But along with opposition from law enforcement and elected officials, Proposition 19 faced unexpected resistance from medical marijuana users and outlaw growers in the state's so-called Emerald Triangle who worried legalization would lead to plummeting marijuana prices.
Marijuana Policy Project spokesman Mason Tvert predicted no such divisions would surface this time around.
Citing his group's experience in Colorado and the advantage of aiming for a presidential election year when voter turnout is higher, Tvert said legalization supporters would use the next two years
"Obviously, it's a whole different landscape in California, where it will cost probably as much or more to just get on the ballot as it did to run a winning campaign after getting on the ballot in Colorado," he said.
to build a broad-based coalition and craft ballot language that addresses concerns of particular constituencies.

League of California Cities lobbyist Tim Cromartie, whose group oppose the state's 2010 pot legalization initiative and until this year fought legislative efforts to give the state greater oversight of medical marijuana, said Wednesday that it was too soon to say what kind of opposition, if any, would greet a 2016 campaign.
Lynne Lyman, California director of the Drug Policy Alliance, said her group expects to play a major role in the legalization effort and already has started raising money. Lyman said the goal is to have an initiative written by next summer. She estimated that a pro-legalization campaign would cost at least $8 million.
Even though California would be following in the steps of other states if a 2016 initiative passes, legalizing recreational marijuana use there would have far-reaching implications, Lyman said.
"When an issue is taken up in California, it becomes a national issue," she said. "What we really hope is that with a state this large taking that step, the federal government will be forced to address the ongoing issue of marijuana prohibition."
Judge delays Boston Marathon bombing trial
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — A judge granted a two-month trial delay on Wednesday for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, but denied a defense request to move his trial from Boston. Judge George O'Toole ruled that the trial will begin Jan. 5 instead of Nov. 3, but said there's no reason to assume in advance that a fair jury cannot be selected in Massachusetts.
Defense attorneys had asked that the trial be moved to Washington, D.C., citing extensive media coverage in Boston and evaluations of public sentiment by their experts. They also asked for a trial delay until at least September 2015, saying they have not had time to pre-
Prosecutors say he and his older brother placed two pressure cooker bombs that exploded near the marathon's finish line. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in a shootout with police several days later.
"Although media coverage in this case has been extensive, at this stage the defendant has failed to show that it has so inflamed and pervasively prejudiced the pool that a fair and impartial jury
Tsarnaev, 21, has pleaded not guilty to 30 federal charges. He could face the death penalty if convicted.
cannot be empaneled in this District," O'Toole wrote.
He also wrote that a short delay is warranted because of the large amount of evidence the defense has received from prosecutors. But he said, "An additional delay of ten months as requested by the defendant does not appear necessary."
pare for a November trial, and had been given less time than was granted in many other federal death penalty cases.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed they would need to summon about 2,000 potential jurors, but they filed more than 100 pages of legal briefs arguing over moving the trial.
"It is doubtful whether a jury could be selected anywhere in the country whose members were wholly unaware of the Marathon bombings. The Constitution does not oblige them to be," O"Toole said.

Reporters gather around Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino as he leaves the MLK Jr. Federal Courthouse in Newark, N.J., after a court appearance on Wednesday. The former "Jersey Shore" reality series star and his brother underpaid taxes on nearly $9 million in income over the last several years, the U.S. attorney's office charged in a seven-count indictment released Wednesday.
'Jersey Shore' star pleads not guilty to tax counts
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. — A former star of the MTV reality show "Jersey Shore" and his brother filed bogus tax returns on nearly $9 million and claimed millions in business expenses — including luxury vehicles and clothing — that were actually for personal use, according to an indictment released Wednesday.
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and his brother Marc pleaded not guilty through their attorneys during a brief initial appearance in U.S. District Court. Neither made any statements during or after the proceeding, though when Mike Sorrentino was asked outside the courthouse if he was innocent he smiled and replied, "Of course."
Each brother was released on $250,000 bail and scheduled for arraignment on Oct. 6.
According to the seven-count indictment, the Sorrentinoos earned about $8.9 million between 2010 and 2012, mostly through two companies they controlled, MPS Entertainment and Situation Nation. They allegedly filed false documents that understated the income from the businesses as well as their personal income. Mike Sorrentino also is charged with failing to file taxes for 2011, a
year in which he earned nearly $2 million.
The brothers also allegedly spent millions of dollars on personal expenses they claimed were for business In 2012, for example, the brothers filed documents with an unnamed accounting firm in Staten Island that claimed $3.9 million in business expenses, according to the indictment released by U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman.
{"He] created the illusion that [he] earned less income by filing false... tax returns."
Both brothers are charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, which is punishable by a maximum prison sentence of five years upon conviction.
JONATHAN D. LARSEN
Head of IRS-Criminal
Investigation, Newark
Marc Sorrentino faces three counts of filing false returns from 2010 to 2012 and Mike Sorrentino is charged with two counts, in addition to one count of failing to file taxes for 2011. The conspiracy is alleged to have run from early 2010 to late 2013 in Monmouth and Ocean counties in New Jersey.
The false filing counts carry maximum potential prison sentences of three years; failure to file carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison.
"Rather than living in reality and reporting their true income, Michael Sorrentino and his brother Marc created the illusion that they earned less income by filing false and fraudulent tax returns," said Jonathan D. Larsen, head of IRS-Criminal Investigation, Newark.
Christopher Adams, an attorney for Marc Sorrentino, blasted the government's case.
"He has spent the better part of a year trying to show them flaws in their theory, and it is unfortunate that the government has chosen to rely on the word of a disgraced accountant who is a proven liar," Adams told The Associated Press in an email.
Richard Sapinski, an attorney representing Mike Sorrentino, didn't comment after the hearing and didn't return a message seeking comment.
The cast of the MTV reality show were known for their rowdy lifestyle that occasionally led to legal scrapes. In July, Mike Sorrentino agreed to take anger management classes to resolve assault charges stemming from a July 15 fight with his brother at their family's tanning salon.

Drill sergeant found guilty of sex assaults
FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — A Missouri drill sergeant is guilty of sexually assaulting and harassing eight female soldiers, a military judge ruled Wednesday.
Army Staff Sgt. Angel M. Sanchez, 30, was accused of using his supervisory position with the 14th Military Police Brigade at Fort Leonard Wood to isolate his victims and win their trust with favors, including cake and ice cream. One woman testified that failing to cooperate would have jeopardized her military status.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The women said the incidents took place in the bathroom of the female barracks as well as in an office shared by drill sergeants.
Sanchez, a married father of two, was found guilty of three criminal charges including four counts of sexual assault and six counts of abusive sexual contact, as well as several lesser charges of maltreatment.
The Philadelphia native didn't testify during the three-day court-martial but apologized to his victims, many of whom were in the courtroom, after the verdict.
"I hope someday you'll be able to forgive me," he said. "I let a lot of people down."
At the outset of the military trial, Sanchez pleaded guilty
Military prosecutors recommended a 25-year sentence; Sanchez's lawyers asked for an eight-year sentence.
"The government wants to focus on this overwhelming control Sgt. Sanchez had over his accusers," Gapasin said before the verdict was announced. "What this case is really about is consent and
to three charges of disobeying orders by having sexual contact with three female trainees. Several additional accusations against Sanchez were dismissed after a pretrial hearing in the spring.
Sanchez's attorney Ernesto Gapasin questioned the accusers' credibility, noting that some of the initial accusers were either facing disciplinary action of their own or forced separation from the military at the time complaints against Sanchez were raised.
Sanchez was found not guilty of nine counts, including an allegation of rape brought by a medic in Afghanistan while he was stationed there in 2011 and 2012.
Sanchez also served one tour in Iraq, where he earned a Bronze Star and two other combat medals before arriving at the Missouri post in August 2013.
Several of his victims testified about how the assaults left them filled with fear, self-doubt and a lingering mistrust of the institution they pledged to faithfully serve.

The charges against Sanchez were filed in May, days before a Pentagon study on sex assault in the military found that more than 5,000 reports of sexual abuse had been filed in the previous fiscal year, a 50 percent increase from the previous 12 months.
"I no longer wanted to be part of the Army," one female soldier said. "I didn't trust any of my superiors, or even my male peers."
Pressure from Congress led to several reforms in how the military justice system handles sex assault complaints. Accusers are now assigned lawyers to guide them through the legal process, and the statute of limitations has been eliminated. Anyone convicted of a sexual assault in the military faces a required minimum sentence of a dishonorable discharge.
Staff Sgt. Angel Sanchez is accused of using his supervisory position with the 14th Military Police Brigade to threaten some of the women he was tasked with training. Most of the allegations involved women at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.

Home Depot said Thursday that malicious software lurking in its check-out terminals between April and September affected 56 million debit and credit cards that customers swiped at its stores. Target, Michaels and Neiman Marcus have also been attacked by hackers in the past year.
Some lenders are preparing to reissue credit or debit cards to customers to head off possible losses following the breach of customer data at Home Depot.
Banks reissuing cards over Home Depot breach
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Earlier this month, Home Depot confirmed that malicious software lurking in its check-out terminals between April and September affected 56 million debit and credit cards. Target, Michaels and Neiman Marcus also have been attacked by hackers in the past year.
+
Capital One Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. said Wednesday they are preparing to assign new cards to accountholders due to the data theft at the home-improvement retailer.
While lenders will issue customers a card after it's been lost, stolen or used to make an unauthorized purchase, Capital One and JPMorgan are taking action based merely on whether accounts may be compromised.
Capital One, which issues debit cards in addition to its namesake credit card, is preparing to do a proactive "mass reissue" of credit and debit cards on accounts that it believes are at risk due to the Home Depot data breach.
said spokeswoman Pam Giardo.
In one of the notices Chase sent to customers with a United-brand card, the bank said it would be reissuing their cards because the security breach at Home Depot "may have put their United card at risk.
She declined to say how many accountholders would be receiving new cards, but added that the lender also reissues cards once it detects fraudulent activity.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. began notifying some of its customers last week to expect new cards, said Chase spokesman Edward Kozmor.
In the meantime, Chase is advising cardholders to keep their current cards and monitor their accounts for any purchases they don't recognize.
The note told customers that Chase would be mailing out their new cards at the end of this month.
Other major card issuers are taking a different approach.
American Express has beefed up its fraud monitoring on accounts that may have been affected by the breach. If the company confirms fraudulent activity on an account, it will immediately replace the card, said Amelia Woltering, a spokeswoman at American
Bank of America is also monitoring accounts for fraud and, if it believes a customer's account is at risk, it will reissue the card, said spokeswoman Betty Riess.
Express.
Philip Tschudy, a spokesman at CUNA Mutual Group, which insures credit unions against card fraud losses, said many credit unions are blocking and reissuing cards in the wake of the Home Depot data theft as a precautionary measure to prevent fraudulent transactions.
Among the bank customers who have had to be issued a new debit card recently due to fraud risk is Beverly Blough of Belpre, Ohio.Blough, a retired dietitian, was notified by her small community bank a few weeks ago that her debit card was compromised and needed to be replaced.
There weren't any unexpected charges on her account, though. And the lender didn't say specifically whether her card was snared in the Home Depot hack.
Despite the risks, Blough said she's not changing where or how she uses her debit card.
"I continue to shop at Home Depot and use my new debit card," she said. "I'm just going to be cautious and vigilant."
Trend for trying electronic cigs may be leveling off
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - A new government study suggests the number of U.S. adults who have tried electronic cigarettes may be leveling off.
The proportion of adults who have ever used e-cigarettes rose from about 3 percent to 8 percent from 2010 to 2012. But there was no significant change last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study.
The study's conclusions seem to parallel a modest decline in e-cigarette sales during the same period that have been noted in analyst reports.
But e-cigarettes are not yet regulated by the federal government, and there hasn't been much research on them completed yet.
The findings come from an annual survey of thousands of adults. It has been the CDC's only source on e-cigarette trends since the devices started selling in the U.S. in late 2006.
"The long-term public health impact of these products is uncertain," study's lead author, Brian King said. But he called the leveling off in adults who have ever tried e-cigarettes "a positive note."
E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that produce an odorless vapor that typically contains nicotine. They are often described as a less dangerous alternative to regular cigarettes, one that may help smokers quit.
Roughly 75 percent of current e-cigarette users said they also smoked regular cigarettes — and that figure hasn't changed much in the four years of the survey, released last week by the medical journal, Nicotine & Tobacco Research.
The study also found the percentage of adults who are described as current e-cigarette smokers — that is, they said theyd used one at least one in the previous 30 days — has been hovering at around 2 percent.
Cops: Saw ambush suspect, then found his dirty diapers
RACE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A suspect in the fatal ambush of a trooper has occasionally made himself visible to officers before melting back into the forest, and police found empty packs of Serbian-branded cigarettes and soiled diapers believed to have been left by him. Pennsylvania State Police said Wednesday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A Pennsylvania State Police trooper helps create a perimeter in the search area for Eric Frien near the intersection of Happy Hill Lane and Bear Town Road in Canadensis, Pa., on Tuesday. The manhunt for the survivalist accused of ambushing a state police barracks has narrowed to the rural area where he grew up and his parents still live, but Frein, the suspect, has managed to elude capture despite the efforts of hundreds of law enforcement officials.
Officers saw a man they believe to be Eric Frein as recently as Tuesday, Lt. Col. George Bivens said Wednesday afternoon. But it was at a distance, and the extremely rugged terrain separating the officers from Frein gave him "the ability to disappear," Bivens told reporters.
It was the first time authorities have reported possibly laying eyes on the 31-year-old suspect charged with opening fire at the Blooming Grove state police barracks on Sept. 12, killing Cpl. Bryon Dickson and seriously wounding a second trooper who remains hospitalized.
Bivens said the discovery of the empty packs of cigarettes and dirty diapers is helping to cement authorities' belief they were closing in as the manhunt stretched into its 12th full day. They believe Frein is using diapers so he can remain stationary for long periods of time. They are testing the diapers to confirm he wore them.
Frein appears to be probing the loose perimeter that's been set up around him. He has also purposely made himself visible at times, staying just far enough away to make it unlikely hed be caught, he said
Upwards of 1,000 law enforcement officials have been involved in the search for Frein, named last week to the FBI's 10 most wanted list. He is considered armed and dangerous, and police have authority to kill him if he doesn't surrender.
In an indication of just how
"I almost think that some of this is a game to him," Bivens said.
wild the landscape is, tactical teams have "kicked out quite a few bears" as they search for Frein in caves, Bivens said.

Mountains, with unannounced and indefinite roadblocks and a "shelter in place" directive that prevented residents from leaving their houses for more than 24 hours at one point. Those who weren't already home could not return.
Residents say they support police in the search for Frein, but patience is wearing thin.
"Families are getting separated," said Adam Christmann,
who has been kept from his home at least twice in the past few days.
High school student Kendall Lewczak left home at 7 a.m. Friday to go to work with her mom, since classes had been canceled because of the manhunt. They came back in the late afternoon to find access to their street blocked off.
"We spent the night over on the bridge sleeping in the car waiting, and hoping, that we could get home," Lewczak said.
Ralph Mergliola, chairman of the Barrett Township Board of Supervisors, said most residents he's spoken with believe police are "doing the best job they can" under difficult circumstances.
Authorities insist residents have been able to get escorts to their homes in emergencies, such as to retrieve medication. But some residents said elderly relatives have been left unattended and pets unfed.
"Most of them understand," he said. "They'd rather not be in their houses if there's a murderer in their backyard."

DAN HARMSEN
@udk_dan
Kansan football beat writer chats with Wescott Eberts, a co-editor of Burnt Orange Nation blog, to get a closer look at Saturday's opponent.
DAN: There's no debating the fact that Mack Brown had a good run at Texas. He did in 16 seasons was win 158 games, he went to 15 bowls, notched three BCS bowl victories, and took home the 2005-2006 National Championship. But for a tradition-rich program like Texas, that has historically won 70 percent of its games, Brown's last four years fell well short of the mark, going 30-21. Now, 30-21 over four years would be good by many school's standards, excellent by Kansas', but, as we all know, that kind of performance is subpar at UT. So after the 2013 season, a season in which Texas was playing for the Big 12 Championship in the final week, Brown and Texas parted ways after the bowl game on apparently good terms. How have Texas fans handled Brown's resignation after he spent almost two decades on the sidelines?
WESCOTT: I think the fan base was pretty divided at that point. There were a lot of old-school people who would look down at the younger Texas fans that wanted Mack gone and would say, 'You didn't know where the program was before Mack Brown,' and they were still living off of what Brown did from 1998-2009 and then that 11-year stretch that was so good in the Big 12, they probably ignored the last four years and acted like it didn't happen. I think they kind of believed that Mack could turn it around.
For those people paying really close attention to the program, they were familiar with how concerning it was with what was being said about the program and the information that was leaking out of it, and very concerned about the day-to-day operations and the things that it took Texas to be successful. For instance, Texas was very late to add a director of player personnel on the recruiting side, while Nick Saban added a lot of different football analysts on that side to help out with recruiting and all the logistics with that, and when Mack Brown announced the hire of the director of player personnel he kind of joked that, 'Wed been running a mom-and-pop operation here for a while' as if it was funny that Texas wasn't actively leveraging their resources.
In 2010, after that poor
season when he hired his football-specific strength and conditioning coach, many other programs had already had one for some time. Texas hired a nutritionist that year, so there are a lot of ways that Texas had fallen behind other programs in college football and weren't keeping up that kind of made it seem that Mack Brown was a little bit asleep at the wheel — like he was going through the motions. I would say the discerning fan, the ones that really knew what was going on wanted Mack gone and were happy with it.
DAN: So insert Charlie Strong, a tough, defensive-minded disciplinarian. In four seasons at Louisville, Strong went 37-15, including 23-3 in his final two seasons with a win over Florida in the 2013 Sugar Bowl. When it comes to coaching, he's got the chops, but, just from an outsider's perspective, a lot of the question marks on the hiring have been whether Strong can recruit in Texas with a lack of familiarity with the area. Now, Mack Brown did have past Big 12 experience at Iowa State before being hired, so he had
some pipelines to tap into. My question is this: what were the initial feelings in Austin on the Strong hiring on the day of the announcement, and have they changed or not now with non-conference play is in the books?
WESCOTT: You get a segment of the Texas fan base that was disappointed that the Longhorns didn't make a splash hire. Obviously there were a lot of rumors about Nick Saban possibly coming to Texas, there were other guys like Jimbo Fisher, Jim Mora, Art Briles, who would've been perhaps more splash hires than Strong. I think Strong's track record and as a defensive coach at Florida all played pretty well with Texas fans in the end.
Looking back on it, what may not have been the best thing for the long-term health of the program was the fact that new athletic director Steve Patterson made the hire basically on his own, he did have a search committee but he didn't really reach out to very many of the big-name boosters and always let them know what was going on. And
certainly that was another segment of the Texas fan base that wields a lot of power and perhaps shouldn't be making the personnel decisions, but long-term as the longhorns look to facelift, fix or upgrade their facilities, which really need to be done in a number of ways for a number of different programs.
I think Patterson may have hurt himself, but I think for the most part once Texas fans got over the disappointment of not getting a bigger name coach, I think Charlie Strong, with his sincerity, and how much he really cares about the development of players as people, plays pretty well for Texas fans.
DAN: Three years ago when Charlie Weis was hired to toughen a football program in the midst of a steady nosedive, Weis's first plan of action was to separate the wheat from the chaff. He dismissed 29 players from the roster he inherited, largely for academic or behavioral reasons. Charlie Strong has had to do some housecleaning of his own this year, but to a lesser degree: 9 players have left the program so far, and David Ash retired from football due to a bad history of concussions. All things considered, have expectations been a little tempered this year given the attrition this team has undertaken?

So based on the expectations coming into the season, it was definitely a disappointment as things developed. It wasn't really surprising, I think the BYU game hurt. Strong said the players weren't ready to play, which was a major disappointment, especially after the blowout against BYU last year. Heading in, even though defensive coordinator Vance Bedford said that this wasn't something he was looking at as revenge game, I think everybody else, some of the players at least, were looking for revenge.

Harrison, a couple of guys that were the few tackle options on the team. Not having Daje Johnson, some of the dismissals before the season, really, in looking at a worstcase scenario for Texas, a lot of those things came to pass very quickly. Against UCLA, they lost junior defensive tackle Desmond Harrison who has been a major contributor on the defensive line.
The UCLA game was more encouraging especially from an offensive standpoint. The offense opened up a little bit more, showed a bit more variation and misdirection and the ability to put the defenders in conflict, but the ability to finish still isn't there for Texas and that's a concern moving forward as they have the opportunities to play some close games.

WESCOTT: I think those expectations changed really quickly. In assessing the outlook for the season heading into it, what ended up happening, especially in losing Dominic Espinosa, the senior center, who had a great majority of the starts on the offensive line, really he had about 80 percent of the starts, he got injured the first game, and David Ash suffered that concussion against North Texas and subsequently had to retire, Texas had to suspend Kennedy Estelle and Desmond

DAN: Kansas and Texas have only met up on the gridiron 13 times. Texas leads the series 11-2, having won the last 11. KU's last victory over the Longhorns came back around the Great Depression in 1938, and no, I did not say the Great Recession of 2008. Rather, the Great Depression. Singer/Songwriter Bill Withers was born in 1938. For the most part, the games have not been evenly contested. However, it took a high-wire act from Vince Young to escape Lawrence in 2004, and Case McCoy pulling one out of the
fire in the waning seconds in 2012, to keep the streak alive. I'm not sure how keen Texas fans are to those memories, but if anyone mentions 4th and 18, or offensive pass-interference on Charles Gordon, Kansas fans will shudder and likely throw something. This year may be different, as Texas really has no reason to take anything for granted, but is it fair to say that the Longhorns tend to sleepwalk their way into Lawrence more times than not?
I don't think this Texas team is good enough to underestimate anyone. Going to Lawrence is a much different case than Kansas coming to Austin. The longhorns haven't really struggled with any of those games but they surely have those difficulties in Lawrence. It's a more difficult place to play than having a home matchup. Kansas does have a better record than Texas going into this game, and that may be the first time it's ever happened.
Texas also sometimes struggles to play in earlier games. This game is going to be a 3 o'clock game, 11 o'clock is the time that Texas seems to struggle with the most.
WESCOTT: Is Texas sleepwalking into Lawrence? I think it is fair to say that some of those Longhorn teams may have underestimated what it takes to win in Lawrence. I would say it can make it difficult to play in later-season games for Texas teams that aren't used to playing in the cold and in that environment. Both of those games you mentioned, the 2004 and the 2012 games, both came later in the season.

COMMENTARY
Texas is a beatable team this year
By Connor Oberkrom
@coberkro
Despite the consistent talent disparity that has existed between Kansas and Texas football the past century, a Kansas win on Saturday is achievable.
This isn't the same Texas team as years past. Last season was the first time a player from Texas wasn't selected in the NFL Draft. This is partially due to competition from other state teams including Baylor and Texas A&M who are recruiting at higher rate than ever before.
Usually possessing a vaunted defense, Texas ranks just ahead of Kansas in points surrendered, tied for 106th in the country.
Weis has underscored how Kansas is going to have to accumulate victories by winning "slugfests." Last season in Austin, the Jayhawks managed to stay in the game until midway through the third quarter until Texas stretched its lead to win 35-13.
Texas sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes, who took the place of former starter junior David Ash, has looked far from comfortable in his first two starts as a Longhorn. Reminiscent of Kansas' offense, it relies on short passes as Swoopes averaged just 5.8 yards on 34 pass attempts against UCLA two weeks ago.
Off to a tough start to the season, first-year Longhorn coach Charlie Strong has torn down some of the structure that Mack Brown built, similar to what Charlie Weis did in his first year. Strong has dismissed nine players so far including junior starting left tackle Kennedy Estelle just this week.
Kansas will have to control the clock with junior running back DeAndre Mann and freshman running back Corey Avery as it attempted to do last year with alumni James Sims. Kansas didn't win the possession battle last week, but that's mainly because of the quick scoring plays by senior wide receivers Justin McCay and Tony Pierson.
While sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart's running ability hasn't been otherworldly, registering just 21 rushing yards on 25 attempts, he has the ability to make noise with his feet. The Longhorns yielded 99 yards and three touchdowns to BYU's junior quarterback, Taysom Hill. If Cozart develops an affinity for taking off instead of staying in the pocket, it might be better for Kansas.
Starting conference play with an unblemished record and one win would do wonders for everyone associated with its haunted past. It would be Kansas' first win against Texas since 1938.
However, the luck of Kansas football has been non-existent in its dark days and the gambler's fallacy could be in full-swing against a deprived Texas team.
The Jayhawks' versatile linebackers have shown remarkable vertical speed shedding off blocks. Junior linebacker Jake Love and senior linebacker Ben Heeney were arguably Kansas' best defensive players last week against Central Michigan. Texas' forte on offense is getting their running backs, junior Jonathan Gray and senior Malcolm Brown, in space. This match bodes well for Kansas on paper.
For Kansas football, records are always subject to get erased especially in the last five years. Breaking the drought against Texas is doable, but after all, it's Kansas football.

Kansas prepares for Texas slugfest
BLAIR SHEADE
@RealBlairSheady
The expression that football is a game of inches will be a common theme as Texas heads to Memorial Stadium in Lawrence to take on Kansas at 3 p.m. Saturday.
On the Kansas offense, it starts with sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart. Kansas runs a spread offense, which emphasizes the passing game. But this weekend, that won't be the case. The Texas defense has only allowed an average of 149 passing yards per game, which ranks second in the Big 12.
On Saturday, Cozart will use his legs more to make plays when the Texas secondary blankets the Kansas wide receivers.
"We will be able to put more pressure on the defensive ends and see what they do," Cozart said. "We have a great game plan and we're looking forward to it."
One way Kansas offensive coordinator John Reagan likes to give Cozart the chance to run is on the option plays, which Cozart hasn't
done before this season.
"I didn't run the option at all in high school," Cozart said. "It's different for me because I feel like I'm not one of those types of physical quarterbacks to be doing it a lot, but I can adjust and get better at it."
In the first three games, Cozart and the Kansas running backs had trouble connecting on option plays, but Cozart said they both take the blame for that.
"It goes hand and hand," Cozart said. "Some of it was on me, not being downhill or the back was too close to me as we were getting in the pitch phrase. We've been working on it a lot this week, and that is one of our emphasis going into this weekend."
"We're trying to play into a slugfest and it should be a game in the fourth quarter," Weis said.
Coach Charlie Weis said Kansas has a great shot of winning against Texas if the Kansas defense can keep Texas under 30 points. The only way to do that is to play physical football.
using their running ability and physicality to win games. Weis said he likes the idea of becoming physical because he believes his team will win that battle.
A slugfest involves teams
"Our defense believes that if a team is going to line up and try to get into a slugfest, I think they are willing to play that game," Weis said.
"We will be able to put more pressure on the defensive ends and see what they do."
MONTELL COZART Sophomore quarterback
The Jayhawk defense thinks the Texas offense will try to overpower the Kansas defensive line because the Texas run-first offense is averaging 123 rushing yards per game.
Senior defensive tackle Keon Stowers said the Texas offensive line isn't as experienced as the Kansas defensive line, and the Jayhawks will take advantage of it.
"Obviously, we don't have the best defensive line in the world, but when you go against a less experienced offensive line, you definitely have to take advantage of that," Stowers said.
Texas has a less experienced offensive line this season because Texas coach Charlie Strong dismissed its two starting offensive tackles, and its center suffered a season-ending injury.
Strong suspended offensive tackles Kennedy Estelle and Desmond Harrison for violating team rules, and senior offensive center Danny Espinosa broke his right ankle. Texas will hurt tremendously by missing three of its five starting offensive linemen. Stowers said he can't wait to line up against the Texas offense line on Saturday.
Weis said with a lot of Texas' offensive line missing, its depth on the line will suffer.
"They are very talented, but when you look at their offensive line, and you take their two starting tackles, they are gone, it's a big difference when they are not out there." Weis said. "I don't know
when those suspensions are over, but I'm glad it's not this week."
Stowers said the emphasis is to stay physical the whole game and force Texas to use its nonexistent depth on the offensive line.
"That's the key to every game," Stowers said. "You definitely want to take advantage of that matchup on the inside to stop the run game."
For the first time this season, Kansas gave up less than 100 yards of rushing against Central Michigan last weekend. Stowers said Texas and Central Michigan play a similar style of offense, and the Central Michigan game helped the team prepare for Texas.
"Texas and Central Michigan are the two teams that we face this season that pound the ball," Stowers said. "Some of the things Central Michigan did, Texas does the same thing. Obviously, we were successful last week, so we are going to stick to the gameplan."

FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS
Predictions for the Kansas vs. Texas football game on Saturday
The Kansan sports editors and football beat writers try to guess the outcome of Kansas' first conference game of the season. Associate sports editor Blair Shade is the only one predicting a Kansas win, thinking the Jayhawk running game will make a difference. Everyone else thinks the Texas defense will be too tough for the Kansas offense to muster enough points. No one thinks the Jayhawks will lose by more than three touchdowns.

@DoubleHillix
The major strength lies on defense for both squads, particularly in the secondary. Kansas may be able to run the ball a bit better than Texas, but Tyrone Swoopes is significantly more accurate than Montell Cozart. The big difference will be on the defensive lines. Texas averages about 4.5 sacks per game to Kansas' 1.33. I expect them to get at least 5 on Saturday, thwarting some of Kansas' offensive possessions. The defense will hang in, but it won't be enough.
SCORE: TEXAS 24, KANSAS 13
The Texas defense is stingy against the pass, ranking third in the Big 12 in passing yards allowed. That doesn't bode well for the Kansas air attack that ranks last in the conference in passing yards. This should allow the Longhorn defense to devote extra attention to the running game, where Kansas gains 200 yards per contest. While the Longhorn offense is shaky, it should muster up enough against a Jayhawk defense that allows a lot of big plays.

@Stelly Liang
SCORE: TEXAS 27, KANSAS 17
The Longhorns are well-rested and ready for a victory. In their last outing, they lost a tough, close game to then No. 12 UCLA. The Texas defense is tough, especially against the pass, and the offense should be more comfortable with quarterback Tyronne Swoopes after his two starts and the bye week. Kansas' offense showed improvement last week and should be able to keep the game close. Kansas' last victory against Texas was 12 matchups ago, in 1938.
The Kansas offense has struggled to score at times. Going up against one of the best defenses, expect that trend to continue this Saturday against the Texas Longhorns. The Longhorns have three players on the Bednarik Award Watch List, and are led by one of the best defensive tackles in the Big 12 in Malcom Brown. Expect Montell Cozart and the rest of this Kansas offense to struggle this weekend.

Coach Charlie Weis said the Jayhawks have a great chance of winning if they hold Texas under 30 points. I think Kansas will hold Texas to under 30, and the Jayhawks will find holes to open up the running game. The key to the game is who wins the line of scrimmage battle, which I think the Jayhawks will. If Kansas can score 24 points, it's the Jayhawks game to lose.

Tigers beat White Sox 6-1, clinch postseason spot
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers looked dormant with the bats until a pitch from Chicago's Chris Sale hit Victor Martinez around the back of his left shoulder.
Then tempers flared, the benches and bullpens emptied — and Sale's shutout didn't last much longer.
Martinez came around to score the tying run in the sixth inning, and after Sale came out of the game, Chicago's bullpen was no match for the Tigers. Detroit won 6-1 on Wednesday — and clinched a spot in the postseason when Seattle lost to Toronto.
The worst the Tigers can end up with now is a wild card. Detroit is trying for its fourth straight AL Central crown, and the Tigers took a 1 1/2-game lead over second-place Kansas City, with the Royals playing later Wednesday.
With one out in the sixth and Chicago up 1-0, Sale's first pitch to Martinez hit the Detroit slugger. Martinez walked slowly to first, and the two started jawing at each other. Sale appeared to point out toward center field in agitated
fashion as Martinez went to first.
"They were claiming that someone with binoculars in center field was giving signs to Victor," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "I think it's a little weak that they would hit him. If they injure Victor there and we're in the playoff hunt, that's bad news. That just can't happen.
"He clearly did it on purpose. He made it obvious."
Sale appeared to tip his hat toward the outfield in the third inning after striking out Martinez.
Sale didn't accuse the Tigers of stealing signs afterward, and he said he wasn't specifically gesturing toward center field.
1 was just throwing my arms
"There was a fan that was just wearing me out in the bullpen before the game, telling me that I wasn't any good, and telling me how much Victor was going to hit me," Sale said. "So that was just having some fun with him."
up, like you do when you are upset," the left-hander said. "I wasn't really trying to control where they pointed."
Justin Verlander (15-12) allowed a run in eight innings for Detroit.

Sale allowed a run and four hits in six innings. He struck out 10 and walked three, becoming his franchise's career leader with his 18th game of at least 10 strikeouts. Ed Walsh had 17.
Miguel Cabrera added a sacrifice fly in the seventh. Detroit scored three runs in the eighth on a well-executed squeeze play by Andrew Romine and RBI singles by Rajai Davis and Kinsler.
Ian Kinsler's RBI double the following inning off Javy Guerra (2-4) put Detroit ahead, and when Kinsler reached second, he put his hands up in front of his eyes, pantomiming someone looking through binoculars.
1601 West 23rd Street
"I think he just woke the whole team up," said Martinez, who is 15 of 29 for his career off Sale.
Cabrera struck out four times, only the third time in his career that's happened and the first time since Sept. 17, 2010.
Verlander (15-12) has not been at his best this year, but the former Cy Young Award winner has made it to the eighth inning in back-to-back starts.
The benches and bulpens emptied, but order was quickly restored. J.D. Martinez followed with a double and Nick Castellano hit a sacrifice fly to tie it at 1.
The brouhaha involving Sale and Martinez overshadowed another fine outing by Verlander, who sevens hits and struck out six.
QUALITY START
But Chicago's slim lead slipped away after he hit Martinez.
"I think I was getting ahead of guys — good fastball control, good life on the fastball," Verlander said.
AMONG THE LEADERS
Tigers: Detroit RHP Anibal Sanchez (pectoral strain) still has not pitched since being activated from the disabled list before Tuesday's game. He's now part of the Tigers' bullpen but was not used Wednesday.
White Sox: After the bench-clearing incident, Sale pitched the rest of the sixth before being pulled after 101 pitches. Manager Robin Ventura was already trying to ease the left-hander into the off-season. Sale finishes the year at 174 innings after missing a month early on with a muscle strain near his left elbow.

No.18 Kansas set to start conference play
LIZ KUHLMANN
@LizKuhlmannUDK
Not only do the Jayhawks have better experience on the pitch, but with their first loss under their belts to Marquette, Francis said losing was something no one was eager to experience again.
No. 18 Kansas women's soccer will play its first conference games this weekend in Texas against Baylor (6-3-1) and TCU (7-3-0). The jayhawks concluded their nonconference schedule 9-1-0, and prior to last weekend were on the longest winning streak in program history. While starting on the road is tough, coach Mark Francis said the team will be prepared.
"I was very pleased with how the team responded last Sunday (in a 4-0 win over St. Mary's)" Francis said. "I think it was important how we played in the second half. We got a lot of people into the game and gave them playing experience going into conference play, so that's good."
"It was a tough game," Francis said. "We pretty much dominated the second half,
Kansas will travel to Waco, Texas, for Friday's game, knowing the Bears are looking to avenge a 2-0 loss to the Jayhawks last season. Currently, the Bears are averaging two goals a game and attempted 15 shots in their last game against North Texas. Senior forward Ali Kimura said the team is well aware of Baylor's physicality during games, and the Jayhawks are keeping that in mind as they prepare.
"We really need to finish our chances, play our game and not get sucked into the way they play," Kimura said.
Despite this loss, the layhawks made an appearance at No.29 in the first RPI rankings of the season, their highest starting rank since 2010. The Big 12 made a strong showing in the ranks with five teams making the top 50; Kansas came in third behind Texas Tech (9) and West Virginia (17).
but we just couldn't capitalize on our chances. It was unfortunate, but in some ways losing kind of wakes you up a little bit. It makes you realize that winning is a lot more fun."
The Jayhawks will remain in Texas over the weekend to take on TCU Sunday afternoon, a team that is currently on a six-game win streak and will be carrying confidence with them onto the field.
"We're really excited." Kimura said. "I'm personally really excited for the competition. It's definitely a different level when you get to Big 12 play, We're looking forward to it."
in order to succeed this weekend and add two wins to the Jayhawks' record, Francis said Kansas has to keep doing what it's been doing for the last 10 games. While there are a few things to improve on this week in practice, the Jayhawks have to maintain the same level of intensity and play entering conference competition.
"I'm looking forward to the start of conference," Francis said. "Nonconference is fun, you know, but with conference it's a little bit different. There is a little more at stake. That pressure is good."

Volleyball team begins Big 12 play against Oklahoma
The No. 23 Kansas volleyball team (12-2) kicks off its Big 12 Conference schedule when it travels to Norman to take on Oklahoma (9-4) this Saturday. The Jayhawks are coming off a strong showing at last weekend's Jayhawk Classic, sweeping their three games at the Horejsi Family Athletic Center with relative ease.
KYLE PAPPAS
@KylePap
The big question heading into the season was exactly how Kansas' seven newcomers would mesh with a squad coming off its best season in program history, and the early answer seems to be "very well."
Freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon has likely been the most significant of the bunch thus far. Her performance last weekend (4.18 kills per set on a .301 kill percentage) was enough to earn her Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors, becoming the first freshman to do so since 2012.
"We've been very pleased with Madison and how she has developed through the nonconference part of our schedule," coach Ray Bechard said.
"I don't want to say that she is a surprise because we knew the type of talent she would bring to the table, but with her position being deep with upperclassmen, her emergence has been really good to see."

RAY BECHARD Coach
Freshman setter Ainise Havili and freshman middle blocker Kayla Cheadle have also made their presence evident early in the season. Havili has proven to be a key component of the offense, routinely setting up the jayhawks' outside hitters with good opportunities at the net. Her 558 assists (11.16 per set) are third-best in the Big 12. Cheadle has been impressively consistent thus far; her .373 kill percentage and 43 blocks (.9 per set) lead all Kansas players.

The match is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at Oklahoma's McCasland Field House, with the game being televised on Fox College Sports Central.
As for the Sooners, they start ed the season off hot, winning nine of their first 11 matches, but they've dropped their last two heading into their match up with the Jayhawks. Oklahoma was crushed by Duke the last time out, dropping the match in straight sets: 18-25, 15-25, 20-25.

Cross-country heads to Minnesota for Invitational
JOEY ANGUIANO
@joey_anguiano
The men's and women's cross-country teams are heading up to Minnesota for the Roy Griak Invitational this weekend. It will be the second meet of the season.
The Jayhawk men start on Saturday with the 8000-meter (4.97 miles) race at 12:20 p.m., and the gun will go off for the women's 6000-meter (3.73 miles) race just shy of an hour later at 1:10 p.m.
The races will take place on the Les Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights, Minn. The University of Minnesota athletic website describes the course as "rolling hills and grassy terrain throughout," which sounds similar to the terrain found on the Jayhawks home course, Rim Rock Farm.
The event is named after the Minnesota coach emeritus, Roy Griak. This is the 29th year of the race, while Griak celebrated his 50th with the team last season. The meet also features 10 races throughout the course of the day at both the college and high school levels.

Men's golf aims for top-three finish
@coberkro
CONNOR OBERKROM
@coberkro
Fresh off a top-two finish at the Ram Masters Invitational, the Kansas men's golf team is seeking its third straight topthree finish of the season.
Kansas will play at the 54-hole Badger Invitational in Madison, Wis., over the weekend. The field consists of 14 teams and, according to coach Jamie Bermel, it will face some of the best talent it has seen so far this season.
"There are four or five teams that are pretty good (in the tournament) and that's something we don't see often," Bermel said.
Bermel said the season has lived up to his expectations so far, but he would have taken a different result in last week's tournament.
"We're about right on track," Bermel said. "Last week we were paired in the final group,
we were in the lead with about eight holes to go and just couldn't quite finish."
While the team is still ripe with potential, the growing pains have still persisted with its young roster.
"I think we've got more depth from top and bottom. I think our consistency is a little better," Bermel said. "We're still a little young, we need to eliminate some mental mistakes during the rounds."
Bermel has been content with most of the team, but junior Connor Peck has caught his eye.
["Peck] has been off to a pretty good start," Bermel said. "He's been pretty steady. I don't think he's played great, but he's managed the golf course pretty well."
Kansas finished in second place at last year's Badger Invitational.

O
TEXAS FROM PAGE 11B
and company this week?
Wescott: A running game that is still very limited by the fact that Texas is playing a red-shirt freshman center who is still getting used to making all those calls and making sure that he identifies everything. The offensive line as a whole is still very inexperienced, so I'd expect Texas to do mostly what they've done through the first several weeks. They've moved the pocket a lot for Swoopes so the protection concerns are not as big, which simplifies a lot of the reads for him. When they tried to drop back and pass this season they've had some troubles, especially at right tackle against UCLA.
The longhorns do want to get a bit more vertical in the passing game, but I'm not sure how much they are going to be able to do that. Swoopes has been very accurate, surprisingly. He has struggled with inaccuracy throughout his career at High School and early on at Texas. He is only averaging 5.7 yards per pass, which is an extremely low number. Very much operating on short passes. They haven't been able to produce big plays, particularly with the running game, but also with the passing game. Kansas should be able to drop back in coverage and keep everything in front of them
DAN: Malcolm Brown, Jordan Hicks, Quandre Diggs. There may be a chance all three of those names will make a ProBowl roster. Charlie Weis said at his press-conference on Tuesday that Brown is one of the best players he has ever seen. Texas likes to get after the quarterback, with almost four and half sacks per game, good for second in the conference, which will present problems for a young Montell Cozart. Is this defense one of the tops in the Big 12?
WESCOTT: I think the Texas defense has the potential to be one of the best defenses in the Big 12. They've played two games that have been
pretty good for the most part. The BYU game was a pretty significant disaster and they still had some major breakdowns to swing the game against UCLA — missed tackles on a long 58-yard run after half-time, getting beat on a double move after giving up a long punt return. They had a really high-probability of winning that game against UCLA.
The defensive line has played pretty well as you mentioned. Malcolm Brown is kind of in a contract-year as a junior, he's likely going to leave, he he's married and has a family now, he's been really impressive. The linebackers have been a little bit better than the last several years, but still suffer from some hesitation and missteps, even with Jordan Hicks, and the secondary has had a few recurrences of tackling issues.
WESCOTT: For a Texas team that has had problems showing up already this season, even with the new coaching staff, I think that makes it a little hard to predict. I expect a low scoring game. I don't think Texas can produce enough big plays to really be able to blow Kansas out of the water. I think it will be fairly close. I'll go with 24-13 Texas. I think the Longhorns' offense will be able to make a few more plays against a Kansas defense that definitely gave up some big ones against Duke, but I think the Texas defense plays a pretty solid game this weekend.

DAN: Lastly, how do you see this matchup unfolding on Saturday?
By the end of the year, this Texas unit could come together and be one of the best units in the conference, but right now they are still working out their growing pains. They've dialed up a lot of blitzes from a lot of different angles — didn't allow as many fire zones as Manny Diaz did before, but they are trying to get after the quarterback this week.

FIVE THOUGHTS ON SATURDAY'S GAME AGAINST TEXAS
By Kirsten Peterson
@keepingupwithKP
1. KANSAS PLAYS TEXAS FOR THE 14TH TIME SINCE 1901, AND IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD FOR KANSAS
Kansas State twice in 1998 and 2007.
Kansas has only won two of the 13 contests, winning them in 1901 and 1938 in Lawrence. The Longhorns have outscored the Jayhawks by an average of 42.8-14.4 points per game in the 11 matchups of Big 12 play. In Big 12 Conference opening games, Texas is 15-3 with its only losses coming from Oklahoma State in 1997 and
2. KANSAS IS 2-1 AND TEXAS IS
1-2
You read that right. Kansas is only one win away from last year's win total. The Jayhawks are doing better than the Longhorns as Texas just suffered back-to-back losses. The Longhorns average 3.5 vards per carry, and the Jayhawks average 4.6. If Kansas controls the ball on the ground and keeps its defense off the field, it might surprise the Longhorns at the final whistle.
3. TEXAS COACH CHARLIE
STRONG IS IN HIS FIRST YEAR
AND IT'S BEEN ROUGH
Strong has dealt with more
than just losses with his new
team. On Tuesday, Strong dismissed junior offensive tackle Kennedy Estelle, who started last season, for an undisclosed rules violation. Estelle is the ninth player kicked off the team so far this season. Strong chuckled when reporters asked him if he is too hard on his team. "I give them a lot of chances to get it right," Strong told reporters. Kansas will gladly welcome the Texas backups.
4. TEXAS OFFENSIVE LINE IS VULNERABLE
The Texas starting offensive line from last season is gone. Three of the five graduated, one was dismissed and another suffered a season-ending injury. The most experienced offensive lineman is left guard Sedrick
Flowers, who will start in only his fifth career game. Getting to the quarterback quick and taking control of the line of scrimmage early is key for Kansas.
5. THE SCHEDULE FAVORS KANSAS
texas is known as a powerhouse in football, KU coach Charlie Weis told the media on Tuesday, "I would rather have played them three weeks ago." He added, "It would have been nice to play them for the spring game and be done with them." The Jayhawks have a chance against Texas because it's still early in the season and Texas isn't settled into its routine yet.

Tampa Bay Rays' Brandon Gomes, right, reacts as Boston Red Sox's Christian Vazquez, left, scores on a two-run double by Xander Bogaerts during the fourth inning of a baseball game in Boston, Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014.
BOSTON — Anthony Ranaudio pitched seven strong innings, and Garin Cecchini hit his first major league home run to help the fifth-place Boston Red Sox beat the fourth-place Tampa Bay Rays 11-3 on Wednesday night.
The Red Sox twice batted around, scoring five runs in the fourth inning and four more in the sixth, when they drew five walks — three with the bases loaded.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ranaudo (4-3) allowed two runs on six hits and a walk, striking out two to snap a three-game losing streak. The victory was the 69th of the season for the defending AL East and World Series champions, who need one more win to beat their total from 2012 — their only season under Bobby Valentine.
Jake Odorizzi (11-13) allowed five runs on seven hits, walking three and striking out three in three-plus innings. In all, six Rays pitchers allowed 10 hits and nine walks.
It was 2-all in the bottom of the fourth with two on and nobody out when Mookie Betts singled to load the bases and chase Odorizzi. Xander Bogaerts singled to drive in two runs and Daniel Nava doubled to bring home two more. Brandon Gomes got the next two batters before walking Cecchini on a wild pitch that moved Nava to third.
Another wild pitch allowed Nava to score, and then Rusney Castillo walked before
Gomes got Bryce Brentz on a grounder to end the inning.
TRAINER'S ROOM
RAYS: SS Yunel Escobar, who sprained his left knee, was sent back to Florida for an MRI. He will be out the remainder of the season. ... Ryan Hanigan was in the original lineup at catcher, but he was a little sore after hitting something off his toe in Tuesday night's game. ... During the fourth
inning, C Curt Casali took a foul ball of his mask and left the game and was replaced by Jose Molina.
REO SOX: DH David Ortiz
rested a sore left wrist. ... 3B
Will Middlebrooks missed
his second straight game after
sprraining his right hand
during batting practice on
Tuesday. ... 1B Mike Napoli
missed his sixth game in a
row with lingering problems
in his finger, back and toe.
UP NEXT
the teams wrap up the three-game series on Thursday when Allen Websberg (4-3) takes the mound against Rays RHP Jeremy Hellickson (1-4). Then the Red Sox say goodbye to their World Series championship defense — and to Derek Jeter as well — with a season-ending three-game series against the New York Yankees.

@HardvNFL
Sporting KC defender Aurelien Collin races to get to the ball before his Real Esteli opponent. Sporting's 3-0 win against the Nicaragua team lands them a No.2 spot in the tournament.
GEORGE MULLINIX/KANSAN
Argentinian striker Claudio Bieler came to Sporting Kansas City in 2013, and led the team in goals on its way to becoming Major League Soccer champions last season. That all changed when striker Dom Dwyer came on to capture the limelight in 2014, forcing Bieler to take a backseat.
But when the opportunity arises, Bieler comes through. In Kansas City's 3-0 CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) win against Nicaragua's Real Esteli on Tuesday, Bieler netted two goals and led the offense all night.
"I try to take advantage of all the minutes the coach allows me to play," Bieler said through a translator after the win. "In the week, I work hard, day-by-day, hopefully to make sure that the coach knows I am available and ready to go."
Bieler's first goal came in the 13th minute when defender Seth Sinovic made a run down to the left side of the box and swung a low cross into the penalty area. Bieler timed his run perfectly, controlled the cross and put it through without a problem.
He got another chance in the 28th minute when midfielder Graham Zusi drew the goalkeeper and eased a ball to Bieler, who couldn't put it into an open net.
"Claudio, 9,999 out of 10,000 tries, puts that in," Zusi said. "I was just shocked he didn't put that in."
It didn't matter though, as Real Esteli failed to put together any kind of an attack in a game it had to win to stay in contention in group play. After leading 1-0 at half, Bieler was knocked down in the box and made his penalty kick count for a 2-0 lead in the 70th minute. Bieler was thriving with Dwyer out of

clean sheet of CCL play. He's a bit of a question mark for the short turnaround game Friday against the New England Revolution, but sounds ready to be in goal long-term.
"He comes to training everyday, he doesn't mess around, he works hard, and he's been very professional about taking his opportunities when they come," coach Peter Vermes said. "He was an important part of the team in last year's success, and we're going to need him again at some point this year as well."
"I felt good out there," Kronberg said. "We'll see about Friday. Hopefully I have the goahead, but you never know. As long as everything holds up, I'm feeling good."
Though Sporting KC will miss Zusi in the match against Saprissa, it will have its starter — Kronberg — back in goal. After missing the game against Deportivo Saprissa on Thursday due to a mishap in filing paperwork with CONCACAF, Kronberg only made three saves, but claimed the team's first
Kansas City's third goal came from substitute Sal Zizzo late, as Eric Kronberg defended between the pipes for a clean sheet in his first start since injuring his hand in practice after a July 6 match.
The game was as chippy as it gets in the CCL, with eight cautions dished out, including five to Sporting KC. One of those came to Zusi, who will now miss the next CCL match
against Deportivo Saprissa on Oct. 23.
"I thought it was rather soft as my first foul of the game," Zusi said of his caution. "For me, it's not a yellow card. It never is ... As soon as it happened, I felt bad that I wouldn't be there with the guys."
Sporting KC needs only a win, draw or a loss by one goal against Saprissa to advance into the next round, and could still

Last time out: Defeated Real Esteli 3-0 on Tuesday (Champions League)
Next opponent: New England Revolution on Friday
SPORTING
Player trending up: Toni Dovale - The Spaniard is finally coming into form for Sporting KC after arriving in the spring. He's notched three goals in Champions League competition and picked up an assist on a beautiful cross on Tuesday against Real Estell. He'll continue to be a major contributor from the wing.
Player trending down: None - Every one of the starters — including some starting-worthy players on the bench — are really shaping into form as the season's home stretch approaches. Outscoring opponents 10-1 over its last three matches, Sporting KC doesn't have many weak spots.
Looking ahead: With Champions League group play nearly clinched, Sporting KC can shift its focus to the home stretch of the MLS season. The Revolution defeated Sporting KC twice already this season by a combined 5-1 score, but neither of those games were at Sporting Park. Sporting plays first-place D.C. United on Oct. 10 in a game that could determine the Eastern Conference champion.
Interesting stat: Kronberg had seven clean sheets in goal in 17 starts across all competitions this season before breaking his hand, six short of Jimmy Nielsen's 13 shutouts in 34 games last season. Kronberg also has allowed only .88 goals per game to match Nielsen's 2013 rate. It's clear that Kronberg — though not yet a Sporting KC legend like Nielsen — has washed away supporters' worries in goal after Nielsen retired after 2013.

Will Roger Goodell remain as the commissioner for the NFL?
By Christian Hardy
@HardyNFL

"YES"
Before thinking if NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will be removed from his throne, you must remember what the NFL is really all about. Call it what you will, but the most profitable sports league in the world is all about revenue. Revenue is the NFLs blonde-haired, blue-eyed daughter on prom night, and off-the-field happenings are nothing but the ugly stepchild at best. The league brought in $10 billion in 2013 and is shooting for $16.1 billion by 2018, both on track with Goodell's goal of $25 million by 2025. With money like that, the NFL can do no evil. The league has a massive revenue streamline from its supporters, which hasn't slowed in the wake of the league's handling of domes tic violence cases.
A recent poll by NBC News showed that fans — the league's largest source of revenue — will continue to watch their teams every Sunday.
Though 57 percent of "football fans" disapprove of the NFLs handling of domestic violence, 86 percent said they wouldn't change the amount of football they watch, while 11 percent said they were less likely to watch. If those 11 percent keep their word and refrain from America's most significant sport, that's pocket change for the NFL.
Only 29 percent of fans believe Goodell should be forced to resign.It's likely that less than 29 percent of the league's 32 owners would agree with that.Simply put: Not enough people who are substantial to the league's revenue stream are calling for Goodell's head, and maybe for good reason.
tional development, primarily in London. He also ended the referee's labor dispute in 2012 when it could go on no longer, and he agreed to a record-breaking 10-year Collective Bargaining Agreement with the NFL Players
He's addressed player health and safety, medical needs and pensions of retired players, revenue sharing, stadium construction and, most recently, a new performance enhancing drug policy, as well as interna-
The owners are satisfied, and that's what matters. They are satisfied with the leverage they were given in the new CBA, and with the job Goodell is doing, evident in his salary over the past two seasons. Before the 2011 player lockout, Goodell's salary averaged $11 million per season. Over the past two years after the new CBA, he's made $36.5 million per year. The NFL is not a judicial system, and Goodell is not a judge. The NFL is a business and Goodell is a commissioner.

Goodell should not be applauded for how he has handled the domestic violence cases,but it's time we move on. Goodell's skills and understanding of the workings of the NFL have led the league to tremendous growth and have set a precedent for professional sports leagues

The past month has been a messy one for the NFL as
"NO"
countless cases of domestic violence have made recent headlines across the country. Such scandals involving Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Greg Hardy, Jonathan Dwyer and Ray McDonald have caused coaches and fans alike to question the personal behavior policy of the NFL and, ultimately, the man in charge
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made several statements regarding these issues, but they are all starting to
sound the same. "Mistakes happen," "I'm sorry," and "I got it wrong" have been repeated over and over, but many feel that, in this case, "I'm sorry" just isn't good enough. And they're right.
enough. And they're right.
As the commissioner of the NFL, it is Goodell's responsibility to handle misconduct cases and determine appropriate consequences for coaches and players. But who gets to determine appropriate consequences for Goodell after being caught in the act and then openly admitting his wrongs? It's not small mistakes we're talking about either. It is a series of several big mistakes that, if not handled properly, could ruin the reputation of the NFL around the world.
If it was a coach, player, or employee of the NFL in question, would a, "I've made a mistake, I'm sorry, I'll get it right next time" be good
some heavy consequences to those who have been brought under the spotlight, even those who haven't been officially convicted. If the NFL holds its players accountable, then keeping Goodell on after his multiple errors in judgment would be...hypocritical.
Goodell is on the hot seat and has been put under a lot of pressure to resign as commissioner. It is clear that something needs to drastically change in the NFL before the organization's reputation is tarnished. There's a lot of work to be done. But is Goodell the right person for the job? He has created quite a mess for the league, but he may not be the right person to clean it up.
enough for Goodell? No. So then why should he get to use those exact same phrases to excuse his own behaviors? Does he expect that we will be satisfied with a simple apology? The NFL has handed out
Which Kansas football player has been the most disappointing so far this season?
It's time for someone new to come in and try to put things back together. The NFL needs a clean slate, and the only way to achieve that is with a new man in charge. The reputation of the league is on the brink of disaster, and Goodell just isn't the right person to fix it. He's lost too much respect from his fans and his teams to make it right on his own. He can certainly contribute, but he can't be the number one guy anymore.

Q: Where did Eli Manning attend college?

THE MORNING BREW
New York Giants quarterback situation remains fuzzy
despite winning two Super Bowls, quarterback Eli Manning has already
Manning has always been somewhat overlooked, at least while leading the Giants to multiple winning seasons. However, the spotlight on Manning intensified last year, as he put up some of the worst numbers of his career. In 2013, Manning threw 27 interceptions, which was five more than any other quarterback, and he ranked 32nd in the NFL in completion percentage. It was far and away Manning's worst season in which he started all 16 games.
In January 2014, the New York Giants brought in a new offensive coordinator, Ben McAdoo, in hopes of reviving Manning's career. McAdoo quickly emphasized the need of the quarterback to get rid of the ball early and to make quick, precise throws, something that had never been a strong suit of Manning.
By Scott Chasen
@SChasenKU
Somewhat predictably, Manning
struggled to start the 2014 season in the new system, throwing four interceptions in his first two starts. The New York Giants began the year 0-2, prompting some fans to go as far as publicly burning their Manning jerseys. Many questioned whether the 33 year old was nearing the end of his career.
However, things looked dramatically different last Sunday, as Manning took a major step forward. For the first time in seven games, Manning didn't turn the ball over, and as a result, the Giants defeated the Houston Texans by 13
points. Manning managed to complete 75 percent of his passes, which he hadn't done in a regular season game since Dec.1,2013.After the game Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Manning played an "outstanding mental game."
Manning also noted he had made some improvements from the beginning of the year. "I thought last week we made some steps to get better," Manning said in the postgame press conference. "This week was even stronger."
Manning's strong performance against Houston carried far more weight than that of a typical game. Many in New York had been calling for the Giants to start backup quarterback Ryan Nassib in Manning's place.
Nassib secured the backup quarterback job in New York after a tremendous preseason, where he was third in NFL passing yards with 588 and tied
THE BREW
for first in passing touchdowns with five.
"He's a worker, a grinder, and doesn't have a lot of emotion, whether it be good or bad," said Coughlin of Nassib in an interview with the New York Post. Many felt and still feel that
Nassib is a better fit for McAdoo's offensive system, considering he is the more mobile of the two, but for now, the Giants will remain Manning's team to lead.
Eli can [still] get it done,” said Giants' wide receiver Victor Cruz. “It has taken some time for all of us”
Manning will have the chance to prove he can indeed run a successful offense tonight when the Giants take on the Redskins.

Mark Buehrle gets win. Jays defeat Mariners 1-0

Toronto Blue Jay starts pitcher Mark Buehle works against the Seattle Mariners during the first inning of a game in Toronto on Wednesday.
TORONTO — Mark Buehrle pitched eight shutout innings to reach 200 innings for the 14th consecutive season, Ryan Goins drove in the only run of the game and the Toronto Blue Jays pushed Seattle closer to playoff elimination, beating the slumping Mariners 1-0 Wednesday night.
Buehrle retired the first six batters in order before Corey Hart led off the third with a ground rule double that bounced on the right field foul line and into the seats. Gibbons came out to challenge but the call stood. Hart went
Hall of Famers Don Sutton and Gaylord Perry each had 14 consecutive seasons of 200 innings or more from 1966 to 1980, but both pitchers saw their streaks snapped by the 1981 player's strike.
Buehrle (13-10) allowed three hits, walked one and struck out 10, one shy of his season high. He left to his second standing ovation of the night after Chris Taylor's leadoff single in the ninth.
"It's very rare," manager John Gibbons said of Buehrle's streak before the game. "It tells you that he stays healthy and keeps you in games. He's a pretty special guy, on and off the field. We could use a few more of him."
Aaron Sanchez came on and picked off pinch runner James Jones, then got the final two outs for his third save in as many chances. The game was played in a brisk 1 hour, 59 minutes.
The Mariners lost their fifth straight and have dropped nine of 12. Seattle had inched closer in the wild card race when Oakland lost to the Angels Wednesday afternoon, but the defeat dropped them three games back with four to play.
Buehrle had 194 innings on the season coming in, and reached 200 by striking out Dustin Ackley looking for the final out of the sixth. Country music played as Buehrle's achievement was noted on the scoreboard, and the crowd of 16,836 rose for a standing ovation. Buehrle accepted congratulations from his teammates before coming out of the dugout for a brief curtain call.
The Blue Jays didn't put a runner in scoring position through the first seven into third on Taylor's one-out fly ball, but Austin Jackson was caught looking to end the inning.
Mariners rookie Taijuan Walker (2-3) pitched his first career complete game, ending Seattle's four-game streak of starting pitchers failing to complete five innings. He allowed four hits, walked one and struck out six.

Chiefs' quarterback Alex Smith and Jamaal Charles (25) warm up prior to game against the Broncos on Sept. 14.
10 things to look for at Monday's Chiefs game
BRIAN HILLIX
@doublehillixt
The Kansas City Chiefs (1-2) will be in the national spotlight on Sept. 29 for their only Monday Night Football game of the season. They take on the New England Patriots (2-1) at 7:15 p.m. Here are 10 things to watch out for in the matchup:
1. Noise record - The Kansas City Chiefs will try to regain a world record they previously owned. The Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd roar at an outdoor stadium now belongs to the Seattle Seahawks at 137.6 decibels. Kansas City set the record with 137.5 decibels against the Oakland Raiders last season.
2. Rebounding at home - The Chiefs were humiliated at Arrowhead Stadium against the average Tennessee Titans in the team's home opener, which neutralized the crowd noise. Kansas City will need a much better performance to hang with New England and keep the crowd's energy up.
3. Talented tight ends - Both teams rely heavily on their tight ends. New England tight end Rob Gronkowski leads all Patriot receivers with two
4. New England's league-leading defense The Patriot defense allows a league-low 168.7 passing yards per game, which isn't good for a Chiefs offense that struggles in the passing game.
touchdowns, and Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce leads the team with 166 receiving yards.
5. Passing woes - With Kansas City averaging 197.7 passing yards per game and New England averaging 196.3, both teams are among the league's worst in the category. The Chiefs rank No.26 and the Patriots rank No.27.
6. Return of the speedsters
- Two of the team's fastest players, running backs Jamaal Charles and De'Anthony Thomas, are likely to return from injury. Charles sat out the last two games with a high ankle sprain while Thomas, a rookie, has been out the entire regular season nursing a hamstring injury.
7. Kansas City's running success - Especially with Charles likely returning from injury, the Chiefs will have an advantage in the running game. Knile Davis, Charles' backup, ranks seventh in the
9. Receivers needed - A big reason for each team's passing struggles involve a lack of depth at the receiver position. Beyond Julian Edelman, the Patriots don't have a wide receiver with more than six receptions on the year. The Chiefs don't have a wide receiver with more than 12 receptions on the season. Donnie Avery has 12 and Dwayne Bowe is second with six.
NFL with 214 total rushing yards, and that came without playing much in the season opener. New England running back Stevan Ridley is among the league's worst averaging 3.4 yards per carry.
8. Turnover disparity - Kansas City ranks worst in the NFL in turnover differential (-5) while New England ranks first (+6). The Chiefs haven't forced a turnover the entire year.
10. Decline of Tom Brady?
- Usually lighting up the stats sheet, New England quarterback Tom Brady's quarterback rating of 82.9 places him at No. 23 among qualified NFL quarterbacks.

No.25 K-State starting to get defensive again

Auburn wide receiver Ricardo Louis gets past Kansas State defensive back Dante Barnett to score a touchdown during the first half of the game on Sept. 18 in Manhattan.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Since the arrival of Gus Malzahn at Auburn, only two teams have been able to look his high-powered offense in the face and hold it under 200 yards rushing. One of them is LSU, the only team to beat the Tigers in the regular season.
The other is No. 25 Kansas State.
The Wildcats shut down Auburn most of the night in a 20-14 loss last week, allowing just 128 yards rushing more than 200 yards below the Tigers' season average. That helped boost Kansas State into the top 25 among Bowl Subdivision schools in terms of rushing defense.
The Wildcats face another test this Saturday when UTEP (2-1) and Aaron Jones, the nation's fourth-leading rusher at 183 yards per game, visit Manhattan to close out non-conference play.
"I thought it was awfully good," Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. "We probably would not have gotten all of that if we did not turn the ball over down there. (But) I thought that all of our youngsters played really well and played within the system."
Perhaps it shouldn't be so surprising that the Wildcats handled Auburn's vaulted ground game: Historically, Snyder's teams have limited the run quite well.
Only two of his last 14 have finished outside the top 60 in rush defense — roughly speaking, the top half of FBS. Twelve teams were in the top 40. and six inside the top 20.
Snyder said assignment-sound, disciplined football allowed his defense to excel against the No. 5 Tigers, a shared characteristic with his defensive units of the past.
"It takes some patience with some of the young guys that like to fly around and make tackles," Snyder said. "The added time I think helped. Coach (Blake) Seiler did a really nice job with our defensive ends because there was a lot of pressure on them to play well in that ballgame with so many responsibilities that they had."
Kansas State made Auburn's offense punt on nearly half of its drives, and caused all kinds of problems on third down for a team that was converted 60 percent of its chances.
"No defense has really been able to do that," said Kansas State quarterback Jake Waters, who goes against those guys in most practices. "I'm not sure what they did different, but they played so hard and were flying around and the crowd got them into it, that played a factor. But they went out and did their assignments and that's what
we've been seeing in practice all along."
After sitting for the majority of games against Stephen E. Austin and Iowa State, Dakorey Johnson made his first-career start. The junior college transfer provided a spark for the defense, giving it a more versatile and athletic front seven.
He had six tackles and an interception, and was voted Big 12 defensive player of the week.
"He runs well and that is a benefit," Snyder said. "It was a matter of him being able to adapt to the system and understand the responsibilities and having the discipline to carry out the responsibilities like we like, and he has gotten better at it and it has paid off for him."
Now, the task is to carry over that success from Auburn to UTEP - for Johnson and the rest of the guys on the Kansas State defense.
Barnes' catch lift Rockies over Padres. 3-2
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — Drew Stubbs hit a tiebending home run leading off the eighth and left fielder Brandon Barnes robbed Rene Rivera of a tying shot in the bottom of the inning to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 3-2 victory against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.
The Padres, who were trying to extend their winning streak to a season-high six games, were assured of their fourth straight losing season. San Diego (75-82) can still finish with its best record in
Stubbs homered on the first pitch from Dale Thayer (4-4) into the Jack Daniel's party deck atop the right-field wall, his 15th. It was the first run Thayer allowed in nine outings.
Rymer Liriano was shaken up after slamming into the wall trying to make the catch but remained in the game.
Rivera sent a high drive to left opening the Padres eighth, but Barnes leaped to make the catch.

WVU seeks improvements during bye week

Oklahoma's Samaje Perine runs for a first down during the fourth quarter of the game against West Virginia in Morgantown, W.Va., on Sept. 20.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia fell flat late twice on a national stage over the first month of the season, and coach Dana Holgorsen wants to use a bye week to better position the Mountaineers for a solid run in the Big 12.
— an up-tempo offense that sometimes sputters and the occasional meltdowns on defense and special teams.
Coming off a 45-33 loss to No.4 Oklahoma, Holgorsen will work on some of the same problems that have plagued the Mountaineers for years
Avoiding those meltdowns could make the difference between competing in the Big 12 and becoming the first West Virginia team in 22 years not to go to a bowl in back-to-back seasons.
In two double-digit losses, the Mountaineers stayed close most of the game with No. 3 Alabama in the season opener and with Oklahoma.
homa until after the Sooners had scored three touchdowns. The Mountaineers had turnovers on two of their six second-half possessions.
"In order for us to be able to win that game against a Top 5 opponent, then we needed to be able to score a couple more touchdowns, which we didn't," Holgorsen said. "Why? I don't know. It's a whole bunch of
things — not making guys miss, not finishing blocks, not calling the right plays."
"The teams that we're going to be playing are going to continue to improve, so we need to do the same thing."
Nobody was happy about coming up a little bit short a couple games against what I consider the best two teams in the country," Holgorsen said. "With that said, we can't feel sorry for ourselves or pout. We have to move forward."
of former longtime Penn State assistant Tom Bradley and a switch to a 3-3-5 scheme.
"I do like what the attitude is." Holgorsen said. "I like how they're attacking everything that we're asking them to do."
The Mountaineers have allowed touchdowns on punt or kickoff returns the last two games. There also have been mixed results on defense following the promotion of Tony Gibson to defensive coordinator — the team's fourth in four years — along with the hiring
The offense amassed more than 600 yards in wins over Towson and Maryland, then couldn't find the end zone in the second half against Okla-
Despite shutting out Towson, the Mountaineers are allowing 29 points and 404 yards per game, both among the worst in the Big 12. West Virginia is one of only 12 teams nationally that has yet to recover an opponents' fumble.
At least Holgorsen believes the problems can be fixed. That has to do with his roster being older and more mature compared to last year when the Mountaineers went 4-8.
After the Mountaineers intercepted Trevor Knight in Oklahoma territory in the third quarter, Clint Trickett threw an interception on West Virginia's ensuing possession.
"One play doesn't make the difference in a game," Holgorsen said. "It did, however, suck the momentum out of everybody at that point in time, which is unfortunate."

Thornton scores 2 goals,
Sharks top Canucks 5-2
STOCKTON, Calif. — Joe Thornton scored two goals, and Nikolay Goldobin and Barclay Goodrow each had a goal and an assist to lead the San Jose Sharks to a 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks in a split-season preseason matchup Tuesday night.
The Sharks gave the crowd plenty to cheer about in their first game in Stockton. San Jose dominated and outshot Vancouver 34-12.
Joe Pavelski, San Jose's leading scorer last season, also had a goal. Dylan DeMelo had an assist on each of the Sharks' final two goals.
Thornton began a three-goal flurry by the Sharks in the second period, rushing the net to beat goalie Jakob Markstrom. He also scored San Jose's final goal midway through the third.
Goldobin, San Jose's first-round pick in this year's draft, completed San Jose's second-period run by beating goalie Joacim Eriksson with a slick wraparound.
Goodrow was set up by Goldobin eight minutes earlier, sending Markstrom, to the bench.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed a number of topics Thursday afternoon, including sexual assault and the Kansas Board of Regents social media policy.
Sexual Assault
In response to recent controversy about how the University handles sexual assault reports, Gray-Little has created a task force of 11 members to look over current sexual assault policies. The task force includes students, staff and faculty, and will be co-chaired by Angela Murphy, a graduate student and Title IX Roundtable development coordinator and Alesha Doan, the chair of the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies department.

With a senior-laden roster — seven starters on offense and six starters on defense — this appeared to be Weis's best team at Kansas. But through four games, Kansas has averaged a Big 12-worst 15.3 points per game.
For an offensive-minded Weis, the most strides on the field appeared to be made on the defensive side of the football.

Weis nixed as Kansas football head coach after 6-22 record
JAMES HOYT KANSAN
Kansas football coach Charlie Weis was fired Sunday morning after Kansas' 23-0 loss to Texas on Saturday. Weis leaves the University with an overall 6-22 record and a 1-18 conference record.

Following a stagnant game day for the Kansas football team, Sunday morning was a busy one.
Coach Charlie Weis has been relieved of his duties, Kansas athletic director Sheaon Zenger said in a Kansas Athletics press release after a 23-0 loss to Texas on Saturday, Weis' 22nd in 28 attempts. The firing ends a five-year contract prematurely, just four games into Weis' third year.
"I normally do not favor changing coaches mid-season," Zenger said in the release. "But I believe we have talented coaches and players in this program, and I think this decision gives our players the best chance to begin
After dismissing 29 players for mostly academic or behavioral reasons, Weis' watch saw the highest GPA the football program has recorded during the fall since the school began keeping track in 1986: 2.83 in 2012 up from 2.46 in 2011. But the results weren't as promising outside of the classroom.
making progress right away."
"I appreciate what coach Weis did with several facets of our football program," Zenger said. "But we have not made the on-the-field progress we believe we should. I believe new leadership gives our coaches and players the best chance to make a fresh start."
In 19 conference games, Weis teams were outscored 719-267 which averages to 37.8-14.1 per game.
Known best for his previous work with quarterbacks including Tom Brady and Brady Quinn, Weis struggled to find a reliable one at Kansas. In less

than three seasons, Weis filed through four different starting quarterbacks: Dayne Crist, Michael Cummings, Jake Heans
52 interceptions.
Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen has been announced the interim coach for Kansas (2-2). A Lawrence native, Bowen helped lead Kansas to a No. 22 national ranking as a defensive back, following its win against Brigham Young in the 1992 Aloha Bowl. Kansas finished the 1992 season 8-4, and in 1993, Bowen recorded the third-most tackles by a Jayhawk defensive back in school history, leading the team with 114.
For the 1995 Kansas grad, Bowen's coaching career began shortly after his playing career. He began his work as a defensive
graduate assistant coach in 1996, and after a brief stint with Minnesota, Bowen returned to Kansas in 1998. Bowen spent time coaching the tight ends, running backs and safeties until 2009.
His time at Kansas included three bowl victories, including the most successful season in Kansas football history, when the Jayhawks finished 12-1 with a 24-21 BCS Orange Bowl victory against Virginia Tech in 2007-08. A co-defensive coordinator, his defense allowed just 16 points per game that season.
sessions.
Bowen rejoined the staff in 2012 as the special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach under Weis before moving over to linebackers, and ultimately being named
the defensive coordinator in December 2013.
With a senior-laden roster seven starters on offense and six starters on defense this appeared to be Weis's best team at Kansas. But through four games, Kansas has averaged a Big 12-worst 15.3 points per game.
For an offensive-minded Weis, the most strides on the field appeared to be made on the defensive side of the football
In 2012, Weis assumed a team that had allowed 43.8 points per game. Through four games this season, Kansas has allowed 25.5 points per game.
Weis was hired Dec. 9, 2011,
for a guaranteed $2.5 million
per year over five years, with

Chancellor speaks on sexual assault

Sexual Assault
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little addressed a number of topics Thursday afternoon, including sexual assault and the Kansas Board of Regents social media policy.
In response to recent controversy about how the University handles sexual assault reports, Gray-Little has created a task force of 11 members to look over current sexual assault policies. The task force includes students, staff and faculty, and will be co-chaired by Angela Murphy, a graduate student and Title IX Roundtable development coordinator and Alesha Doan, the chair of the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies department.
"I'm glad for the energy on campus around addressing this issue and trying to move forward in some way."
BERNADETTE GRAY-LITTLE Chancellor
"I'm looking for recommendations from this group about things we might do or should be doing," Gray-Little said.
She said the task force will discuss what can be done to
improve current policies, help prevent sexual assault, make resources more available and transparent and provide support to survivors.
Suggestions pulled from the Chancellor's webpage and examples from last Thursday's sexual assault panel will be given to the task force, which will have a few months to make recommendations.
"I'm glad for the energy on campus around addressing this issue and trying to move forward in some way," Gray-Little said. "I want to take advantage of this energy."
Sexual assault training will also now be mandatory for all students, staff and faculty members.
The University Senate is drafting a procedure that would address how the University would implement the Kansas Board of Regents' social media policy.
"The idea was to say that there needs to be a way to include accountability so that you know that at least there's been exposure to it," she said.
"I don't want just to meet the minimal expectations; we want to be better than that and in some ways be a model of how a university should address this" she said.
Gray-Little said she hopes these steps make the University's process better.

University hosts blood drive
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHarford
The University is partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive across campus. The blood drive will start today and run through Oct. 3.
Last year, the Red Cross collected 331 pints of blood which resulted in saving 993 lives all through the generous donations of University students. This year they are hoping to have more donors to generate an even larger impact. When one student donates a pint of blood, that in turn can help save the lives of three separate people.
Jan Hale, external communications manager for the Red Cross in Oklahoma, said "every two seconds someone is in need of blood." Since frequent donors are only able to donate blood
Tips for donation day: drink plenty of water a few days before donating as well as on the donation day, eat a meal or snack before donating, bring your driver's license — not your KU student ID — a list of any medications you are taking, and comfortable clothing — preferably a short sleeve shirt. For first time donors who feel unsure about donating, Hale offers encouragement.
"Just remember," she said, "you are doing something very important for someone else. The person on the other end of what you are doing is in the crisis of a lifetime."

Student campaigns for Kansas House

"Hi, sorry to bother
Saturday morning campaigning started slowly for Kansas House candidate Nick VanWyhe, but as the morning went on, more voters opened their doors.
VanWyhe and members of the College Republicans hit District 10, southeast of 19th and Iowa streets, to knock on doors and hand out flyers to campaign for the district's Kansas House of Representatives seat.
Nick VanWyhe leaves a flyer for a voter who is not home while he went door-to-door on Saturday morning.

you. I'm Nick VanWyhe and I'm running for state representative," began VanWyhe's speech at each door. He kept his interactions brief, handing out flyers and asking if they had any questions. The economy, tax and education were among the issues that voters wanted to know about.
VanWyhe, a senior from Liberal, is studying political science and running for the seat currently occupied by Democrat John Wilson. VanWyhe and volunteers spread out throughout the district with the goal of knocking on 1,200 doors. Morgan Anderson, president of the College Republicans and a field director for the Pat Roberts campaign, said volunteers reached 1,139 houses.
Anderson said she and nine other volunteers got involved in the campaign through the Pat Roberts campaign's Super Saturday. VanWyhe expressed an interest in working with the College Republicans and asked for their help walking the district.
to the Republicans or only to the Democrats," Van Wyhe said. "I'm trying to reach out to both of them and let them know that I don't only represent one side. They're still my constituents — if I happen to win — whether they voted for me or not."
Anderson said other volunteers knocked on all doors except those of registered Democrats, reaching Independents, Libertarians and Republicans, as well as those who weren't registered.
"A lot of candidates go only
While VanWyhe was welcomed by some residents, others seemed annoyed by the door-to-door approach. He said that at some houses, residents have asked him, "red or blue?" One resident on Saturday gave him a "sorry" and closed the door when he said he was a Republican, while another guaranteed him her vote.
VanWyhe said one of his biggest challenges was his affiliation as a Republican in a highly-Democratic county. He said he hopes voters will think about the issues and not just their party affiliations. Door-to-door campaigning can be difficult, Anderson said, when people slam doors or are unfriendly to campaigners. However, she said it's important for campaigners to not be discouraged by one person.
of door-knocking is keeping up your morale while going door-to-door. Sometimes people just don't have time for you, and you have to understand that," Anderson said.

said.
VanWyhe said he became interested in politics in high school, and his interest grew after he was deployed for a year in 2011 and 2012 in a Kansas Army National Guard battalion. VanWyhe served in a combat zone in the Horn
of Africa when the U.S. was wrapped up in a heated budget debate. He said he and others serving were concerned that the budget debates could mean they wouldn't get paid.
"That really bothered me and made me take even more of interest," he said.
Van Wyhe is now completing his bachelor's degree at the University and serving in the Kansas Army National Guard.

Freshman class is most diverse in school history
HANNAH PIERANGELO
@HannahPier
This fall's freshman class is the most diverse in University history, though not by much more than last year. Minority students make up 23.6 percent of the freshman class on campus, up from almost 22 percent last year, according to a KU News Service story released Friday.
KU News said the increase in minority students is part of an overall 2.1 percent increase in this year's freshman class, bringing the total number to 4,084 freshmen. This year also marks the third straight year of growth for incoming freshman students. Minority students represent 18.7 percent of the University population.
"In terms of minority student recruitment, there is really no secret sauce," said Matt Melvin, vice provost in enrollment management. "We work very hard to attract a diverse student body through the use of all the traditional recruitment methods. In addition, we have very active alumni boards and students who are heavily invested in ensuring
KU remains a diverse and inclusive community."
"Following an exceptionally large freshman-entering class in 2008, the entering classes of 2009, 2010 and 2011 decreased in size as a result," Melvin said. "The freshman classes of 2012, 2013 and now 2014 are larger which is serving to fill-up the funnel again and leading to some of the overall growth."
The freshman class increase contributed to the first overall increase in the University's student population in 12 years. There are 177 more students on campus this fall than last year — bringing the total of students on the Lawrence campus to 24,612, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning (OIRP).
According to OIRP, the head count of first time freshmen in 2008 was
A small freshman class, traditionally, pulls down overall enrollment for four to six years, according to Melvin. The University has been experiencing a series of small freshman classes in recent years, which could explain the stagnation in enrollment increase.
All six state universities in Kansas — KU, Kansas State, Wichita State, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Emporia State — have seen enrollment increases this semester, according to the Kansas Board of Regents. Wichita State had the most increase in the state, with 453 more students enrolled since last fall.
Marks Jewelers
Enrollment census data was collected last Monday, the 20th day of classes, and reported by the KU News Service and Kansas Board of Regents on Friday.
Melvin said other institutions look to balance their enrollment by attracting these kinds of students, who may be underserved.
For enrollment, Melvin not only takes into account undergraduates, he also looks at a wider array of students including transfers, graduates, international students and online/distance learners.
4,483. Freshman students declined until last year, when the number spiked to 4,000, and has continued to increase with this year's class.

Little said in the release. "KU alumni, students, fans and supporters expect that Kansas Football will match the other areas in which we excel as a university. After consulting with Dr. Zenger, I am in agreement that it is time for new leadership of our football program."
Kansas next faces a tough road test against West Virginia on Saturday. Last fall, the Jayhawks snapped a 27-game conference losing streak to the Mountaineers at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence. This year, the Jayhawks will look to end a 28-game road losing streak.

Where's My Bus app joins KU mobile plaza
RILEY MORTENSEN
@RilevMortensen
The wait is finally over. The Department of Parking and Transit has teamed up with an outside company to develop and release KU's first GPS bustracking app.
WHAT: Where's My Bus is a free app that allows users to view all routes going to and from the University with departure times from each stop calculated down to the minute, with a few easy steps:
1. Pick your city: Lawrence.
2. Pick your bus, for example Route 43, which goes to and from Daisy Hill and campus.
3. Pick your stop, for example Snow Hall. 4. The app will list departure times for the next bus and all buses after that until the end of the day.
WHEN: Parking and Transit web designer Margretta de
Vries said the department first heard about the app being live online on August 18.
COST: Free.
- You can also call the Department of Parking and Transit, use the transit guide, look at the department website or Google maps to find information about bus routes and times.
— It's best to be at your stop five minutes before the bus
WHERE: It can be found online in the app store or on KU's mobile plaza at mobileplaza.ku.edu. The mobile plaza features a link to all other University mobile apps and University websites. The mobile plaza was officially launched in 2012 and started with four apps, and it has since grown to 19 apps with mobile website links for easy download.
Tips from Margretta de Vries:
arrives, just to be safe. Many people think the times given on the app are arrival times, but they're actually departure times.
— The app gives estimated times. When it's sending the information, it takes time for the information to get from the GPS to a satellite, to a system and translate the location and send it back to you.
Tips from Davis Day, Director of IT external affairs:
Students can use the maps view or the list view to see all the stops every bus makes in case they are riding a bus that is unfamiliar or they need to get to somewhere new.
- This app makes it easy to wait inside buildings during inclimate weather and still get to the bus on time.

"When you get to procedures and implementation [the University] decides what that means, how it's going to be carried out, who's going to be involved in it," Gray-Little said. "It gives each university the opportunity to tailor it to the values of the campus."

Students not immune to license plate theft
DEREK SKILLETT
@DerekSkilllett
Carley Trentman, a senior from Garden City, woke up two weeks ago to discover her license plate was missing.
KU
KU SCHOOL OF BUSINESS The University of Kansas
"We live in a college town," Trentman said. "I was surprised, but at the same time I wasn't incredibly surprised because in college towns stupid stuff happens like this, even if it's safe."
Lawrence is not immune to license plate thievery, and events like these have affected many University students, said Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department.
MICHAEL O'BRIEN/KANSAN
However, there are a couple of different reasons why people would steal license plates.
McKinley said license plates are continuously being stolen, but it also isn't a recent trend.
A
License plates have been stolen from cars parked in the area by Memorial Stadium. If your license plate gets taken, you must pay $3 to get a replacement plate from the Douglas County Treasury.
"After I found out my license plate was stolen, I Googled
a bunch of stuff about why people would steal license plates and Google came up with options such as people can use it on stolen vehicles so that they can do crimes without being tracked. I think that's what would have happened to my plate," said Sonny Tallavajhala, a senior from Overland Park.
"I was there to take my MCAT. I got out of my hotel, walked over to my car and noticed that my door was unlocked and a bunch of stuff was stolen," Tallavajhala said.
Tallavajhala said his license plate was stolen in Kansas City.
As he went to a gas station to get change to pay for parking, Tallavajhala discovered his license plate was stolen.
Trentman's story was a little different. When she woke up to head to class, she found out her plate was stolen. Despite this discovery, she still went to her daily
classes. After filing a police report, Trentman went to the Douglas County Treasury to pick up a replacement license plate. She still has not gotten her original plate back.
According to the Douglas County Treasury Department, there is a $3 charge to acquire a replacement license plate. Anyone getting a replacement license plate must go to the treasury department office and get the plate in person.
McKinley said people who steal license plates will receive a misdemeanor charge, meaning they will have to pay less than a $1,000 fine and possibly serve a prison sentence based on the value of the items stolen.
McKinley said some license plates do not get recovered. He added that if a person's stolen license plate is seen on another car, the police should be called immediately.

Sexual assault: What it really means to "man up"
W
heear of rape, I am overwhelmed with emotion: sadness, anger and compassion. I find it difficult to direct those emotions to an engaging and fruitful conversation about the vicious reality of rape and its consequences. On one hand, I want to keep it simple — just to react out of impulse. On the other hand, I do not want to water down something that needs serious addressing.
I love my mom. She's so loving and motherly, but my favorite quality is her vulnerability. Even when I was just a pre-teen, she was open about the time her stepbrother raped her. She would discuss the lessons she learned and how she grew from this tragedy. Nevertheless, to this day when she talks about her stepbrother, she expresses how powerful he is.
Power. Our culture encourages us to have many thoughts and feelings about sex,but most of them won't be
about sex. They will be about status and power.
about status and power One of the biggest pressures in college is the desire to improve your social status and to feel powerful. As a society, we are so eager to talk about sex, but we are broken and dysfunctional when it comes to status and power. Of course the "media" is partially to blame, but this problem is deeply-rooted in everyday life, particularly our speech.
Rape jokes, the words we use to talk about sex ("I want to BANG her," "I'm going to HAVE her tonight," etc.), and phrases like "man up" are synonymous for dominance and aggression. Dominance and possession are activities that confer superior status, and rape is a manifestation of, and means for, ensuring that status.
With these issues so integrated into our society, how do we stop rape then? Is the ethic of consent sufficient enough to stop rape? While I wish it was
enough, rape is still with us. Although this issue is way too huge for one article to solve, modern scholarship discovered and the Bible teaches ways to bring us closer to a rape-free society.
Peggy Reeves Sanday, an anthropologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied 90 human societies and divided them into rape-prone and rape-free categories. First, she discovered in societies where women have high status and/or are valuable members to society, such as government or religious leaders, rape occurrences are very low.Moreover,Peggy discovered rape-free cultures are taught to respect women.
The Bible declares that women are to be men's equals (Galatians 3:28). But it doesn't stop there: The Bible commands men to lay down their lives for their wives (Ephesians 5:23). Since the Bible doesn't speak of dating, marriage is the example. Additionally, the Bible
gives a command to men
to not take their wives
for granted, and to treat
them with honor and as
their equal; not to assert
dominance over them
(1 Peter 3:7).
If we are holding women in high esteem by electing them to office, following them as they lead businesses, respecting them in our daily lives, and teaching and holding each other accountable for this, actual intimacy won't be about status and power. We are a people of all different faiths, and we are all in this together. We are all trying to figure out what's right, and how to act accordingly. But I can tell you what Jesus teaches: He commands us to love one another.
Under campus and state laws, you must have the other person's consent to be intimate with them. But if we're truly trying to be good to one other, consent and/or legality is not enough. If we're really trying to love one another, maybe it's best to not hook up with that
person who has deep feelings for you that you can't reciprocate; deception is unloving. If we really love each other, don't pressure your friends into having sex or to cave to gain status among the "bros."
I'm not pretending we will all get the same answers to intimacy, let alone answers I believe God states, but I do hope that you'll keep your hearts open to the possibility. Amazing things will happen
— on campus, in our communities, our nation, and this world — if we respected and valued women. If we love each other truly, there will be less encounters of sexual assault occurring. Women like our mothers, sisters, daughters and friends deserve nothing less. Are you willing to lay down your lives for them? That's what it means to "man up."

Foreign languages open up job opportunities for students
To succeed in the crippling job market, you nee
market, you need experiences on your résumé that set you apart from other applicants. One way to do so is by taking a foreign language course. Learning a second language will make you a globally aware applicant and will help open the door for study abroad programs.
1 highly advise all students to check out the 40 different foreign languages offered at the University. Having this wide variety of
languages to choose from allows students to learn a language they are interested in. Taking a foreign language class pulls students out of their American lifestyle and into a whole new culture.
Taking a foreign language can open up travel-filled careers in any major and also improves English-speaking skills, according to the National Research Council. It improves communication and problem-solving skills needed in the real world.

language course, you also learn about all the study abroad options available. Studying abroad not only shows future employers that you can get out of your comfort zone, but also gives you an opportunity to experience another country and its culture. The University
offers many study abroad programs during the summer, fall and spring semesters.
If those reasons are still not enough to convince you to study a new language, think about all the different people you can meet. Our world is all about networking, and the more people you know, the better off you are. Being able to travel, based off your foreign language skills, gives you the opportunity to meet people from countries all over the world. Learning about their culture and
traditions will make you more globally aware.
gently aware. So before filling your next semester schedule with a bunch of general studies classes, consider taking a foreign language course. The University's foreign language department is recognized throughout the country for its excellence, so take advantage of it while you can.

National Coffee Day: Buzzin' for beans
MARISSA KAUFMANN
@mariss193
National Coffee Day is a day to give appreciation to the drink that helps us wake up in the morning and keeps us up at night. In honor of this beloved coffee-infused drink, we have some history, fun facts and expert advice to get your java-iolt appreciation day off to a good start.
15 things you may not know about coffee from your local coffee officades
1. "Chai tea was invented by the British. Because people from India were all drinking coffee at the time, they added a lot of spices and sugar to make it more appealing to coffee drinkers." — Louis Wigen-Toccalino, owner of Decade
some of the caffeine." — Noah Compo, senior from Prairie Village, Kan., and barista at Henry's Coffee Shop
2. "The most popular student drink is a Rock Chalk latte." — Carlie Hall, junior from Kansas City, Kan., barista at the Union Roasterie Coffeehouse
5. "Coffee is good for you, but it is not necessarily the caffeine that's good for you
3. " The trends change every year. Past trends include capuccinios and cold press. The trend right now is cold press or slow-brew coffee that is being put in kegs with nitric oxide and being served like a beer." — Derek Hogan, owner of Java Break
4. "When you roast a bean in a dark roast, it heats out
— it's the coffee bean itself. It can have carcinogens in it from being roasted. It is not necessarily made up to hurt you, but the caffeine that is in decaf is enough to stimulate your brain. So you do not need a fully caffeinated coffee." — Nathaniel Dobies, barista at Starbucks on Massachusetts Street
KENNEDY BURGESS/KANSAN
round in decaf as well. Decaf coffee tends to be a lot better for you than regular caffeinated coffee. But also, decaf coffee can be decaf chemicals [instead of being naturally extracted from coffee beans]. So that also cannot be good for you. So it is kind of a hit or miss with both" — Nathaniel Dobies, barista at Starbucks on Massachusetts Street
6. Wigen-Toccalino said the Swiss way of making decaffeinated coffee starts with making a coffee-tea by putting green coffee in water. "They filter that to remove the caffeine. Then they take that decaf brew and they put fresh green beans in it. Now all that is lacking is coffee. So the only thing it pulls out of the beans at that point is the caffeine. This process leaves coffee 95 percent decaffeinated." Wigen-Toccalino said.
7. "Cold press has more caffeine than espresso shots. The longer the coffee beans have contact with water, the more caffeine it extracts." — Kyra Roesle, junior from Shawnee and barista and cook at Aimee's Cafe and Coffeehouse
Grab a cup of coffee today to celebrate National Coffee Day. Stop by one of Lawrence's local coffee shops to add some buzz to your day.
9. "Ethiopia is the only coffee-growing country that consumes more than it exports. It is where coffee was discovered. Ethiopians have a coffee ceremony, coffee tradition." — Louis Wigen-Toccalino, owner of Decade
8. "The benefits of coffee are
10. "Serving super-hot coffee is not good because you burn it or mask the flavor." Ryan Pope, owner of Bourgeois Pig
11. "You burn more calories if you exercise with caffeine than without." - Louis Wigen-Tocalino, owner of Decade
12. The most expensive coffee in the world costing $300 per ounce is called kopi luwak from Sumatra, Indonesia, said Tom MacEwan, one of three Brewhaus owners. It was discovered by workers on the coffee plantation who were not allowed to take the beans home. To collect the coffee, they fed it to a cat-like animal called civet, which is indigenous to Sumatra.
MacEwan said the workers extracted the coffee from the civet's excrement. It is the smoothest coffee anywhere you can find.
13. "People cannot taste over 165 degrees." — Addy Benson, La Prima Tazza barista
14. "Oakland port is where 80 percent of green coffee comes into the country."
— Louis Wigen-Toccalino, owner of Decade 15. A slow-drip coffee tower is a current trend in making iced coffee and is performed at the Alchemy Coffee, The
iced coffee is put through a 12-hour slow drip extraction process that starts with ice water traveling through valves at around one drop per second. The water travels through ground coffee and gets extracted. The concentrated coffee goes through a few different filtering process, coming out clean and smooth, said Daniel Murdock, senior from Kansas City, Kan., and barista at Alchemy Coffee.

"It was definitely one of those moments where I remember specifically just going 'Oh my god.' Those lights flashing; they're calling out your numbers. You're walking out there, and they're calling out the poses, and you see the line of judges right in front of you. Then you see the darkness in the auditorium. I remember it's almost like a little mini blackout."
Brian Baroud, a senior from Northbrook, Ill., does pull ups while training at the Ambler Student Fitness Recreation Center.
Brian Baroud, a senior from Northbrook, Ill., was a freshman when he took the stage and competed in his first bodybuilding show, Muscle Mayhem, in Kansas City. Mo. He took home second place in his teen division and a taste for the fitness industry.
Baroud said he was always an athletic child and when the transition from high school to college came, he decided
against playing a college sport. Instead, he got involved with the mixed martial arts club at KU. It was there that friends

suggested bodybuilding. "I was approached by a couple of the older guys, and it was basically just one of those
things like, you could really succeed with this," Baroud said.
2014 alumnus Zach Kuipers from Wichita was one of the friends Baroud met through his involvement with fitness. Kuipers also competes as a bodybuilder and powerlifter and said it is all about having goals.
After Baroud experienced bodybuilding, he moved on to powerlifting in April of his sophomore year. In powerlifting meets, the competitors do three lifts: bench press, squat and deadlift; they have three attempts. The goal is to compile the highest totals possible.
Although the United States Powerlifting Association Prairie Open in Bloomington, Ill., was brand new to Baroud, it was not his biggest obstacle. Four days before the meet Baroud got the stomach flu.
At that point it could
have been so easy to say I'm just going to not go and stick around and focus on my grades or just hang out on campus," Baroud said. "But really where the self-evaluation, reflection comes in is you have to remember what you're doing it for."
Baroud took home second place for the second time in his 198-pound weight division. He also made a decision to compete in Muscle Mayhem again, but not as a bodybuilder.
This time around, he chose to compete in men's physique. Unlike bodybuilders, men's physique competitors wear board shorts versus show trunks. The judges look for a thin waistline and muscle symmetry, not necessarily how big competitors are.

Although Baroud said he has never and will never take performance enhancers or steroids, it is present in the bodybuilding scene.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Kuipers competes in organizations that test their athletes for steroids and performance enhancers. He said he enjoys participating in these organizations because of how competitive they are.
"There are people out there that do [steroids]," Kuipers said. "You don't have to do it. You can still be successful."
Baroud has competed in organizations that do not test their athletes for such drugs. He said this choice was made purely out of excitement.
As a student, competing was challenging for Baroud. He said the demands of a strict diet combined with schoolwork were always
"I was just young and ready to get after it and make a statement and show my passions," he said. "It's a bloodbath of a sport, so to speak, just like a lot of others. It's a sport that's got a double-edged sword of a reputation; it's plagued by steroids and plagued by guys that go over the top with it."
After competing in men's physique, Baroud went home empty handed, but he said it certainly didn't feel like it.
"That was a big thing I realized was keeping it in perspective and realizing that this sport isn't going to go anywhere," Baroud said. "I can do this at any point in the rest of my life wherever the time fits and knowing that first and foremost I'm here for school. I'm here to grow as a person. So, I knew I had accomplished something with myself and while there wasn't a reward in my hands, that was not relevant to me at the time."
taking.
"The dieting was no easy task, just like any college student could admit. It's hard to not 'cheat' — that means cheat meals," Baroud said.
"Everyone's had that thought go through their mind at one point or another; it's stressful. I had to deal with bearing through that and getting ready for these shows while I was taking on finals."
When Kuipers competed during college, he held a full-time job and said it was difficult to juggle work, school and competing.
taxing.
"It's difficult but it's not impossible," Kuipers said. "Definitely other things suffer a little bit depending on how motivated you are or how dedicated you are. Whatever you care about the most is going to get the most attention," Kuipers said. "You just have to plan ahead and time management is key."
Even though these sports challenge Baroud, he said it is the attention to details that require so much time, like tanning, lifting and dieting. But he said that is what he loves about competing in
both bodybuilding and men's physique.
"I totally buckled down on that, and I just loved it from day one," he said. "That's when I knew I found something special in myself and literally at that moment watched myself grow. It's a cool feeling."
Baroud said he digs deep and uses painful memories from his past to fuel his drive and get through adversity he faces when preparing for competitions.
"I lost one of my best friends the summer going into my senior year of high school," he said. "He was on the football team, and I'd known him for years. It was a very painful period of my life so I remember back to things about that."
In his junior year of college at Kansas, Barod competed in his last powerlifting competition to date. He took home first place. He has not competed in a bodybuilding show since Muscle Mayhem.
Baroud said he has been focusing on his future and spent this past summer interning in Chicago. He

Clooney, wife make newlywed appearance
ASSOCIATED PRESS
George Clooney waves as he cruises the Grand Canal on a boat with his wife Amal Alamuddin, after leaving the Aman luxury hotel in Venice, Italy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VENICE, Italy — Wedding bands glinted under the Venetian sun on the hands of George Clooney and his new bride, Amal Alamuddin, as the heartthrob actor and the human rights lawyer emerged Sunday from the luxury hotel where they were married a day earlier.
The groom, in a smart light gray suit, sported a simple ring on his left hand. His wife, in a flouncey white short dress with pastel-colored appliques resembling flower blossoms, wore a thin band studded with what appeared to be roundish diamonds. The newlyweds shaded their eyes from the afternoon sunlight with dark glasses.
They hopped into a waiting water taxi and, with Clooney putting his arm around her frequently, made their way down the Grand Canal to another waterside hotel where many of their guests were staying. Gondoliers steered out of their way.
Tourists and Venetians cheered when Clooney waved and Alamuddin smiled broadly.
The 53-year-old actor, who had vowed he'd never wed again, and the 36-year-old London-based lawyer, were married with Hollywood
said he has always envisioned himself as a successful business worker someday and that these sports are strictly passionate hobbies.
Celebrity-watching will last at least another day in Venice. City officials have announced the closure on Monday of a stretch of pedestrian walkway along the Grand Canal near the 16th-century Cavalli Palace, so the couple can have a civil marriage ceremony there. The palace is right across from the Aman hotel where the couple wed on Saturday evening.
stars and family among guests.
"I never tried to set out to make money out of this or to take it to the top, because ultimately what that leads to doing is, in my eyes, turning to going unnatural and making it be a year-round thing or something that literally consumes you. I don't want that," Baroud said.
The marriage is the first for the bride and the second for Clooney, who had been one
The bride left her native Lebanon during its civil war and was raised in the United Kingdom. The Oxford-University-educated Alamuddin met Clooney, who is involved in many political causes, through her work.

Even though competing is not one of Baroud's top priorities at the moment, it's still in the back of his mind. He said he knows of a powerlifting meet in December in Topeka and possibly a bodybuilding show in his home state.
"Do I want to probably do it the remainder of my life here and there as I please?" Baroud said. "Absolutely."

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"usually do not favor changing coaches at midseason, but we have not made on-the-field progress."
Sheahon Zenger.
FACT OF THE DAY
Kansas had a 1-18 record in Big 12 play under Weis' tenure.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What was Kansas' overall record under Weis?
A- 6-22, which translates to a 27 percent winning percentage over a three-year period. This is the worst win percentage over that period in any of the Power Five conferences.

THE MORNING BREW
Weis leaves legacy of disappointment,but talent remains
In late November of 2011, University of Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger promised to find the right football coach. This came after the spectacularly disastrous Turner Gill era, in which Kansas went 5-19 in 24 games. On Dec. 9, 2011, Zenger hired Charlie Weis. On Sept. 28, 2014, the Weis era came to an abrupt end.

There was much fanfare when Weis was hired as Kansas' coach. After all, he is the proud owner of four Super Bowl rings and coached Notre Dame to the 2007 Sugar Bowl. He brought a no-nonsense attitude to the program and demanded accountability from all his players. He brought in former five-star quarterbacks Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps, who were both expected to bring Kansas football back to the promised land of 2007's 12-1 season, which culminated in an Orange Bowl victory against Virginia Tech.
Unfortunately, Weis' tenure failed
to work out. He won as many Big 12 games in almost three years as Missouri won NCAA Tournament games in four years — one. His signature win was a 31-19 victory against a struggling West Virginia team in 2013. He leaves behind a legacy of wasted potential. Weis brought in fantastic talent that made Kansas somewhat relevant on the recruiting trails, but poor coaching held back that talent.

All is not lost, however. This Kansas team is still stacked with talent. Despite what he has shown this year, sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart still has the potential to be a
solid football player. He could even turn into a star with the right coaching. Just three games into his freshman season, freshman running back Corey Avery has already shown his massive potential as a dynamic game changer. Junior running back De'Andre Mann has

shown he can be a reliable player. Despite some bad stereotypes, there is plenty of talent in this program for a new coach to work with.
Now the job hunt begins. Coaching football at Kansas is not the intriguing job it was after Mark Mangino was fired in 2009. Kevin Sumlin is enjoying massive success at Texas A&M. Jim Harbaugh, who showed extreme interest in the Kansas job before going to Stanford, has made the San Francisco 49ers into a perennial Super Bowl contender. Gus Malzahn, who the Jayhawks could have hired
after Gill was fired, recently coached Auburn to the BCS National Championship.
Kansas could even hire defensive coordinator Clint Bowen, who is serving as the interim head coach for the rest of the season. Bowen has a lot of ties to the Lawrence and has shown he truly cares
area and has shown he truly cares about the program. The right coach is out there, but Zenger may have to work a little harder to find him
Weis'tenure at Kansas will be remembered as one of underachievement and disappointment. In fairness, Weis had a lot of work to do in repairing the state of the program after Gill was fired. Unfortunately for him, Kansas is in a win-now position. Weis just wasn't getting it done.

Kansas falls to Oklahoma in conference opener

Sophomore setter Maggie Anderson (19) passes the ball over the net Sept. 19 against North Texas. Kansas fell to Oklahoma, its first conference opponent, in five sets Saturday.
The No. 23 Kansas volleyball team (12-3, 0-1) fell in five sets to Oklahoma (10-4, 1-0) at McCasland Field House in Norman, Okla., on Saturday, 25-19, 25-20, 19-25, 23-25 and 9-15.
Though Kansas took the first two sets in a convincing fashion, the Jayhawks fell apart down the stretch, allowing the Sooners a .314 kill percentage. Oklahoma junior middle blocker Kierra Holst had a career-high 23 kills in her first Big 12 game of the season.
BEN LIPOWITZ/KANSAN
Kansas was dominant early, behind strong performances from freshman outside hitter Madison Rigdon and senior outside hitter Chelsea Albers. Rigdon contributed two aces in the opening set, helping the Jayhawks jump out to an early 5-0 advantage. The Jayhawks had five aces for the match but
went on to commit a seasonhigh 19 service errors.
Albers was a consistent presence for Kansas all night, finishing with a career-high 24 kills, nine digs and a seasonhigh five blocks. She carried the Jayhawks to a win in set two, racking up five kills and two blocks in the last 10 points to secure the set.

first conference game of the season. In addition to Holst's 23 kills, junior setter Julia Doyle (55 assists, 10 digs) and sophomore outside hitter Madison Ward (18 kills, 15 digs) both notched double-doubles for the Sooners.

Kansas volleyball coach
Unfortunately, that was as good as it got for Kansas, as it dropped the final three sets on its way to a loss in its
Oklahoma caught fire in the third set, winning comfortably to avoid a sweep on its home court. It followed that up by an equally strong performance in set four, using a 6-0 rally midway through the set on its way to a 25-23 win. Holst came up with her eighth kill of the set to force the Jayhawks into a fifth set.
"When you give a team a little bit of confidence and momentum after having them down, that's exactly what happens," coach Ray Bechard said. "It's a difficult lesson to learn, obviously, but we've got no other option but to think of 'How can we come up with a better response?'"
In set five, with the score knotted at 3-1, Oklahoma scored four-consecutive points to increase its lead to 7-3. It never looked back, as Holst again came up with the final kill to take the set and the match for the Sooners.
"It's tough to come back with a team like that and win in five," said Oklahoma coach Santiago Restrepo. "Our resilience and confidence that we exuded out there in front of a big, great crowd was really incredible to see."
Kansas will look to get back on track when it takes on Kansas State at Horejsi Family Athletics Center on Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 6:30 p.m.

COMMENTARY
Cozart should take blame,but sky is not falling
By Stella Liang
@stelly liang
Sometimes, a loss is a loss because the other team was better. Satur day's game against Texas was not one of those times.
On paper, Kansas and Texas came out looking almost even. The Longhorn offense gained 329 yards; the layhawk offense had 313.The time of possession was split almost equally.
so what was the difference?
Sophomore quarterback
Montell Cozart had a terrible game, while Texas quarterback Tyrone Swoopes was average.
Cozart was 12-for-31 for 140 yards and never got into a real rhythm. Another big problem was his four interceptions, and the bad timing in which those picks came.
"Stats are for losers,"former coach Charlie Weis said. "You know, a lot of stats were positive. Bottom line is when you lose the turnover ratio like that you're going to lose most games."
Two promising drives ended with Cozart interceptions. On the jayhawks' first offensive drive, Cozart found senior tight end Jimmy Mundine for a 35-yard reception. Two plays later, Cozart's pass was tipped and intercepted in the end zone.
In the second quarter, Cozart hit nigel King for a 26-yard gain. Three plays later, Cozart's pass ended up in the hands of Texas' cornerback Duke Thomas.
Cozart was unable to move the ball. The short passes that were readily available to him against Central Michigan were taken away on Saturday by the Longhorn defense.
"It's possible [that Cozart is not the best quarterback in games], Weis said. "I can't rule that out. It's possible."
Through four games, Cozart's completion percentage is hovering around 50 percent. His turnover-to-interception ratio is 5:7. The statistics paint a picture of an average quarterback. The eyes see a quarterback struggling when his team needs him the most. The plays that require a quarterback to step up continue to elude him.
"But you know, our Achilles' heel on offense is still making productive plays in the passing game, and that's, at the end of the day, what ended up costing us," Weis said.
So what can be done?
While Weis said he was wary of placing all the blame of this loss on his starting quarterback, he said a change might be made.
— Edited by Ben Carroll
Before the season, Cozart, who went to Bishop Miege High School, said he wanted to be the hometown hero for this team. Something is going to have to change for that dream to come true.
VOLLEYBALL Kansas falls to Oklahoma in Big 12 opener PAGE 7,
Before a roar goes up for backup quarterback Michael Cummings, the change might just have to be a mental one for Cozart. He is still young and developing.

Kansas holds Baylor, TCU scoreless in weekend games
BEN CARROLI
@bcarroli91
Kansas soccer improved its record to 11-1 and 2-0 in the Big 12 after sweeping a pair of road games in Texas this weekend. On Friday, Kansas shut out Baylor 1-0, and Sunday the Jayhawks defeated the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University 2-0.
In coach Mark Francis' 15 years at Kansas, the Jayhawks have not played great during Big 12 games. Francis only owns an overall .486 winning percentage since he took over in 1999. Kansas went 2-5-1 in the Big 12 last year — but had other plans this weekend.
Friday night at Betty Lou Mays Soccer Field, Baylor and Kansas opened the game playing at an even pace, neither team recording any real scoring opportunities until the 19th minute.
junior forward Ashley Williams booted a right-footed cross into Baylor's box that was placed perfectly onto the head of junior midfielder Liana Salazar who redirected the pass into the back of the net. The goal was Salazar's eighth of the season, which leads the Big 12. The 1-0 lead was taken into halftime and ended up being all Kansas would need on the night to secure its first Big 12 victory of the season.
"Baylor makes it very difficult to play your game and that's what we kind of struggled with," Francis said. "But, Liana scored a great goal and we created a couple other really good chances."
Baylor held Kansas to a season-low of five shots on the night, but senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud made seven saves to keep the Bears scoreless. The effort was good for her ninth win of the season, and Kansas's sixth shutout in the past seven matches. Stroud's goals against average is down to a conference-leading .039
Francis added that some of her saves have made a huge difference in the outcome of those close games like the one Friday night.
"She's playing very,very well. You want your goalkeeper to make the saves they're supposed to make, which Stroud's been doing."
After coming out of Waco, Texas, with another clean sheet, the Jayhawks traveled north to Fort Worth, Texas, to take on TCU, where they completed the opening
“[Stroud] definitely did a good job keeping them out [of the goal].” Francis said.
weekend sweep of conference play.
"It's a great feeling to start out 2-0," senior midfielder Jamie Fletcher said. "We had a depressing year last season, but we have a lot of confidence right now and we're playing really well."
For the second straight match, Kansas was able to get the offense rolling in the early stage of the first half. In the eighth minute, Fletcher saw a pass from Salazar and scored her second goal of the
season.
"Liana went down the left lane and did her magic," Fletcher said. "Then crossed me a pass near the post."
It didn't take long for the Jayhawks to double that 1-0 score and, in fact, just five minutes later freshman defender Kayla Morrison headed in a corner kick off the foot of sophomore midfielder Jackie Georgoulis to score her first career goal as a Jayhawk.
"Kayla's very, very good in the air and she just got up way above everyone else," Francis said. "She was very excited after she scored it. It's good for her and good for her confidence."
Stroud had another shutout performance in the net and added six saves to keep TCU off the scoreboard and lock up Kansas' third straight shutout. Stroud and the defense have been impressive this season and have yet to allow an opposing team to score more than one goal during a game.
Francis said the defense played great. A couple of substitutes came in and Francis said the subs really helped keep the energy up during the match.
"Winning on the road in our conference is really, really tough to do," Francis said. The Jayhawks will try to go 3-0 in the Big 12 when they take on the Oklahoma State Cowgirls on Friday in the team's return to Rock Chalk Park.

Jayhawk offense misses opportunities
@realblairsheady
BLAIR SHEADE
When you're the 123rd ranked scoring-offense in the nation, points are hard to come by, especially for a Kansas team that averages 15 points per game.
Kansas (2-2) failed to score against Texas (2-2) and were shut out 23-0.
The shutout doesn't mean the Jayhawks didn't have chances to score, because they did. The shutout means
the Kansas offense missed its opportunities.
in the beginning of the first quarter, after a huge stop by senior linebacker Ben Heeney on a Texas fourthand-short attempt, the Jayhormes marched down the field in five plays covering 40 yards. The first play inside the Texas redzone, sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart throws an interception, which was tipped at the line of scrimmage.
On the next Texas possession, the Longhorns marched down the field on an 11-play, 78-yard drive. Once Texas got the ball on the Kansas 2-yard line, Texas sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes botched the snap, and Heeney recovered the fumble.
"We had enough things on offense to move the ball," former coach Charlie Weis said. "We need to play error-free as far as turnovers
Those are the type of plays that change the momentum of the game, but the opposite happened to the Jayhawks.

go, and we have to score when we got into the redzone. We weren't error-free as far as turnovers go, and we got into the redzone twice and came up empty."
WHITE
Texas safety Adrian Colbert brings down senior wide receiver Nick Harwell on Saturday. Kansas was shut down 23-0.
Kansas followed Swoopes' fumble with a three-and-out, and the Longhorns scored on their next offensive possession as Swoopes found junior tight end M.J. McFarland for the first score of the game. Swoopes scored on a 7-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to push the lead to 13-0 before the half.
They couldn't capitalize on that opportunity.
In the first half alone, Kansas had five possessions that crossed the 50-yard line, but the opening possession was the only time Kansas got inside the Texas 20.
Senior wide receiver Nick Harwell said scoring in the redzone isn't easy because there are only a certain amount of plays a team can run in the redzone.
Kansas didn't have another productive drive until the third quarter, where Cozart led a 13-play, 79-yard drive that ended with a turnover on downs. Down by two scores, Weis thought it was in the team's best interest that the Jayhawks went for the touchdown.
"When you close in (the redzone), there are certain plays you can't run anymore because you will run out of space," Harwell said. "Our playbook becomes limited and the mindset of the team changes."
Cozart threw a corner-fade route to senior wide receiver Nigel King on the fourth-
The redzone struggles are hard to overcome, and Harwell said the confidence doesn't take a blow, but the momentum of the game takes a big hit.
"Whether it be we get the ball on the 50 and move it down into the redzone, or drive the ball 75 yards, it definitely kills momentum when you don't score in the redzone," Harwell said.
A field goal by Texas kicker Nick Rose and a meaningless touchdown pass from Swoopes to senior wide receiver John Harris gave the final outcome. Texas senior linebacker Jordan Hicks said Kansas and Texas are competitive Big 12 teams, and it wasn't easy keeping the Jayhawks out of the endzone.
down play. Weis said he thought King, a 6-foot-3 receiver, had the advantage over the 5-foot-10 Texas cornerback Quandre Diggs. Weis was wrong and Diggs played the fade route perfectly, and Kansas came away empty.
"They had just as much time to prepare to get the ball in the endzone as we had to keep them out," Hicks said.
"When you have a tall wide receiver, you throw a one-on-one ball," Weis said. "It wasn't the best opportunity to throw and catch, there."

Title IX Roundtable discusses effectiveness
ALLISON KITE
@Allie Kite
Effectiveness and organization were the primary concerns discussed at the Title IX Roundtable's meeting Monday morning.
The Title IX committee provides a space for students, faculty and staff to meet and discuss issues on campus, particularly those related to sexual assault, which has gained considerable attention from students and administration in recent weeks.
Emma Halling, a senior from
Elkhart, Ind., who sits on both the Title IX committee and the chancellor's sexual assault task force, voiced concerns about the body's effectiveness in changing policy. She said she was frustrated that a proposition for mandatory sexual assault training was "shut down" in the Roundtable last semester.
Halling said she welcomed the idea of formalization, but pointed out the Roundtable doesn't explicitly make policy or provide funding. She said those decisions would still only be advisory to other organizations.
"It wasn't until the same suggestions that we were making here were acknowledged by the chancellor that these things were brought into effect," Halling said. "That has been extraordinarily frustrat-
pus, pending approval. McQueeny said the survey will

Anonymous couple donates 120 acres to University
PAIGE STINGLEY
@paigestingley
The University's 1000-acre campus got a little bit bigger recently when a couple from northeast Kansas donated 120 acres of land. The couple, who wishes to remain anonymous, also made a $2 million gift commitment that will create an endowed fund to be used to maintain and enhance the property, according to a summary by the Kansas Biological Survey, a research center at the University. The donations are future gifts and will not be given to the University until both of the donors are deceased.
The donors have made it clear they want their property to be used "for the purposes of education, research, and public enjoyment," according to the summary. The use of the land will be determined at a later date when the gift is received.
The property is rich with plants and animals, but more importantly, it is a "Grade A" prairie that harbors more than 130 native plant species, making it "one of the best remaining examples of native prairie in existence in northeast Kansas," according to the Kansas Biological Survey.
The property's use will be determined based on the specifics of the property and any future needs of the University community, said Ed Martinko, director of the Kansas Biological Survey.

Weather phobia study merges climatology, psychology
MCKENNA HARFORD
@McKennaHarford

Anxiety, increased heart rate and monitoring the TV are frequent symptoms of severe weather phobia. It can even go so far as changing schedules to avoid severe weather, or being unable to eat or sleep.
Mother-daughter researchers Karen Multon, a KU counseling psychology professor, and Jill Coleman, an associate professor of geology at Ball State University, examined how people experience severe weather phobia in a recent study, with the help of KU doctoral students Kaylee Newby and Cynthia Taylor.
"There hasn't been any empirical research since 2006, so we had the golden opportunity to follow up," Multon said. "We wanted to expand [previous research] to a national level of all ages."
Studying severe weather phobia allowed Multon and
Coleman to finally work together, which they had wanted to do for some time, because the topic combined both of their expertise.
[ ]
The study consisted of using Mechanical Turk, an online crowdsourcing marketplace owned by Amazon, to survey 298 people across the country, aged 19-75. The team analyzed the data and discovered that 4.7 percent of those surveyed self-reported having severe weather phobia.
"It's nice to see how [the study] is being utilized from both the climatology and psychology perspectives," Coleman said.
The study also found that people with more weather education were more likely to report symptoms of severe weather phobia.
"We predicted the opposite," Multon said. "Now we're thinking that people who are fearful to begin with are drawn to the courses."
Multon said she hopes this information, which expanded on the small amount of previous research done on severe weather phobia, will help find treatments and prevention methods.
Index
"We want to develop targeted interventions to reduce the fear," Multon said. "It has an impact on somebody's life where they won't go out of the house five days ahead of a storm. That's a major problem."
A new research study looked at severe weather phobia and found that those who had more weather education were more likely to report symptoms of weather phobia.
"The research is primarily exploratory for future research and questions," Taylor said. "I'm very interested in understanding it in regional areas and communities and looking at how [severe weather phobia] is experienced and expressed."
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN

"If you ask my opponent, Congresswoman Jenkins, what's wrong with Washington, she'll tell you it's the Senate's fault," Wakefield said. "Certainly there's a lot of blame to go around in Washington, but she's a leader of the gridlock and the obstruction in Congress, and she's not taking one ounce of responsibility for it."
From left, U.S. House candidates Margie Wakefield, Christopher Clemmons and Lynn Jenkins debate Sunday.
Wakefield, the Democratic candidate and a Lawrence attorney, agreed there was gridlock in Washington, but said Jenkins was partly to blame for the issue.
"I have always remained open to the best ideas of others, regardless of their political affiliation," Jenkins said. "Due to that approach, the majority of the legislation I've introduced this Congress has garnered bipartisan support."
House candidate debate covers national security
@Allie_Kite
ALLISON KITE
Sunday afternoon's debate between Lynn Jenkins, Margie Wakefield and Christopher Clemmons grew heated over issues of national security, agriculture and healthcare, with no shortage of finger-pointing.
Jenkins, Wakefield and Clemonds, all of whom are running for Kansas' 2nd District seat, debated at Eudora Middle School Sunday afternoon.
When the debate shifted to ISIS, Jenkins and Wakefield supported recent airstrikes against the organization. However, Jenkins said the president has not done enough. She called for an ar-
Candidates began the debate with opening remarks, where jenkins and Wakefield addressed the gridlock in Washington D.C. Jenkins, the incumbent Republican running for the seat, said she believed Washington wasn't working, but she has made every effort to support the best ideas, whether they belong to Republicans or Democrats.
Edited by Rob Pyatt
"She shut down the government over it for 16 days," Wakefield said. "She's leading the gridlock and the destruction over this."
For almost an hour, candidates debated topics including the Affordable Care Act, ISIS and agriculture. When candidates discussed the Affordable Care Act, a source of great tension in Washington, Jenkins and Clemmons said they wanted the Affordable Care Act repealed.
"This particular policy is unconstitutional." Clemmons said. "It forces every single American to pay for something that they don't necessarily want. It puts an unnecessary, tax burden on every single family and it punishes those who can't afford Obamacare or choose to opt out."
"It has done nothing to address the issue that was at hand when the debate began, and that was the affordability of health care, to make it available for every American to be able to afford health care," Jenkins said. "It's done nothing but drive the cost up."
Jenkins said the policy drove the costs of insurance up for Americans, making it unaffordable, yet requiring those who don't purchase to pay fees.
Wakefield, supporting the Affordable Care Act, said Jenkins had been instrumental in government tension over the law.
tulated strategy before she would support any "boots on the ground" efforts in the situation.
The crowd broke protocol by applauding Wakefield's comment in rebuttal to Jenkins. She expressed concern about any "boots on the ground" actions against ISIS and criticized Congress for its inaction on the subject. According to CBS, Speaker of the House John Boehner and members of Congress are awaiting a request from the president before acting on the situation.
"I understand that this is just one step in what must be a larger effort to destroy and defeat this terrorist organization," Jenkins said. "They can't be ignored. They committed brutal acts of violence on civilian populations."
"It would be great to know what Congress really thought about it. It would be great if Congress was back in Washington doing their job," Wakefield said.
Wakefield continued to say the president has articulated policy and allied with other countries in the region. She said Congress should go back to work if they want to know more about the president's plan.
Clemmons disagreed on the president's airstrikes, citing Congress' constitutional right to declare war.
The debate was sponsored by the Eudora Reporter, the Knights of Columbus and the Eudora School District.
"Congress is the only body that has the right to declare war," Clemmons said. "The president cannot unilaterally take military actions against another nation."
TOPEKA — A key contest in the fight for control of the U.S. Senate could turn on the outcome of an arcane legal argument Monday over whether Democrats must field a candidate against struggling Kansas Republican Sen. Pat Roberts.
Lawsuit could scramble Kansas Senate race again
The case in Shawnee County District Court centers on whether a state election law requires Democrats to pick a new candidate after ex-nominee Chad Taylor withdrew earlier this month. Some Democrats pushed Taylor out, viewing independent candidate Greg Orman as the stronger rival for Roberts and hoping to avoid a split in the anti-Roberts vote that would help the incumbent stay in office.
Republicans need to gain six seats for a Senate majority, and the GOP has always counted on the 78-year-old Roberts winning in a state that has elected only Republicans to the chamber since 1932. Orman, a 45-year-old Olathe businessman, is running as a centrist
promising to caucus with whichever party has a majority and play kingmaker if neither
Orel has long been registered to vote as a Democrat; he voted in the party's primary this year, and Haney said he wants to cast a ballot for a Democratic candidate. His 22-year-old son, Alex, works for GOP Gov. Sam Brownback's re-election campaign.
does. Roberts has struggled after a bruising primary and questions about his residency in Kansas.
Taylor had to petition the Kansas Supreme Court to force Kobach, a Roberts supporter, to remove the Democrat's name from the Nov. 4 ballot. Minutes after the high court ruling, the voter, David Orel, 57, sued the Democratic Party to get a replacement on the ballot.
A three-judge panel heard arguments from attorneys Monday and expects to issue a decision quickly. Secretary of State Kris Kobach has said counties need to start the process of printing tens of thousands of ballots by Thursday so that they can be ready by Oct. 15 for people who want to vote in advance.
After eight months of planning and construction, a green roof on top of the Bioscience and Technology Business Center (BTBC), located on the West Campus, has been completed.

The BTBC building houses 31 different businesses and strives to improve local technology through providing jobs. BTBC Director of Operations Mike Smithman said the ultimate goal is to create a more pleasant workspace.

"The roof) helps keep in some building heat and it also is a great way to make the roof look very nice." Smithyman said. "It's right outside our conference rooms on the roof, so if it wasn't there, you'd just see ugly rocks on the roof"
Many companies have been involved with the installation of the new roof, including LifeRoof, RoofStone Pavers, Roof Top Sedums, Gould Evans, Boone Brothers Commercial Roofing and MarLan Construction.
Ashley Trunnell, an associate for Gould Evans, said plants were selected to add subtle native texture and that the green roof "adds an impressive focal point to a

MIKE SMITHYMAN BTBC director of operations
"The roof) helps keep in some building heat and it also is a great way to make the roof look very nice."
According to a press release, the natural light provides a view of the outdoors, creates an escape for building users from their typical work environments and primarily creates a great recruitment amenity the BTBC can offer to future tenants.
With phase two of construction complete, Smithyman said there is a phase three planned for the future, however the official idea is up in the air.
"We're not really sure what phase three will look like." Smithyman said. "Hopefully it will be a building to house a collaboration."

Big 12 coaches weigh in on Weis' firing
LAKERS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Texas coach Charlie Strong, front, and Kansas coach Charlie Weis meet on the field after Saturday's game in Lawrence. Texas won 23-0. Sunday morning, Charlie Weis was fired as Kansas' head coach.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Charlie Strong is less than halfway through his first season trying to re-establish Texas as a Big 12 power.
Strong got his first Big 12 victory Saturday with a 23-0 win at Kansas. The next day, the Jayhawks fired coach Charlie Weis only four games into his third season.
"You develop a relationship with the coaches, and they become your friends, and you hate to see this happen to anyone," Strong said Monday on the Big 12 coaches teleconference. "We're in the business and we understand that there can be pitfalls."
The Jayhawks are 3-41 in conference games over a six-season span with three different coaches after going to consecutive bowl games in the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Weis was 6-22 overall.
Bill Snyder, the dean of the Big 12 coaches in his 23rd season at Kansas State, called the firing of Weis — or any coach — an unfortunate situation.
"You just trust that they do what they have to do," Snyder said. "I'm sure everybody feels bad about it, but that's their program and they know far more about it than I do."
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, in his 16th season with the Sooners, sounded a bit surprised by the timing.
it's really unfortunate that it's so soon, when you're not even halfway through the year," Stoops said. "You just wonder why it has to be that soon, and not giving somebody a little longer opportunity to try and get things right. But that's just how it goes, I guess, in today's world."
Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen was promoted to interim coach of the Jayhawks (2-2, 0-1 Big 12) for the rest of the season. They play at West Virginia (2-2,0-1) on Saturday, when Bowen still plans to direct the defense while putting together a plan to get other people to assist as well on the sideline.
While having to quickly adjust to his new role, including the media responsibilities of a head coach, Bowen's primary focus is on the next game.
"Our immediate plan for this week, as we talked to the play-
on West Virginia for this weekend."
ers, is really just to operate the same, right now, day to day and hour to hour and minute to minute, and roll through it," said Bowen, who answered questions for more than 12 minutes, two longer than the allotted time for each coach during the weekly Big 12 call. "The most important objective and the one thing we've got to do is get through any and all distractions and get our minds
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said they know the Jayhawks' players and their personnel, and will prepare for them based on what they have been doing this season.
This is the first Saturday with a full slate of conference games. No. 25 TCU (3-0) finally plays its Big 12 opener at home against the fourth-ranked Sooners (4-0, 1-0), while seventh-ranked Baylor (4-0, 1-0) goes to Texas (2-2, 1-1); and Texas Tech (2-2, 0-1) is at No. 23 Kansas State (3-1, 1-0). Iowa State (1-3, 0-2) plays at No. 21 Oklahoma State (3-1, 1-0).
"We would have to guess if they're going to make any changes schematically," he said, pointing out that the Kansas coordinators are still there.

Students need results in response to sexual assault
It has come to my attention that the administration of our beloved university seems to believe that we will be placated by empty gestures and false promises. They have promised us a task force to address sexual assault on campus. This is an empty gesture, considering the last time a similar promise was made the Title IX Sexual Assault Training subcommittee was formed. This committee was formed to address the prevalence of rape culture on our campus that was pointed out by Al-Jazeera in November of last year. The SA Training subcommittee has made multiple
suggestions to address the failure of the administration, however the administration's response has been unimpressive. They have been handing out T-shirts as a way to raise awareness on sexual assault. True, raising awareness is important, but when has a rapist ever noticed a victim's shirt that had a message about consent across his or her chest, and said, "Oh you're right, I should stop"? This is why we should be outraged.
The Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access (IOA) is an abject failure. Sexual assault is dealt with under the same policy as sexual
narassment. Yes, they believe it is appropriate to treat rape as if it were no worse than catcalling. The IOA chooses to protect rapists over survivors, rewriting reports, deciding that community service is too punitive, and allowing the survivor's attacker to remain on campus. The IOA refuses to take this extreme violation of a person's body and mind seriously, and this is why we should be outraged.
Last week, the administration held an "open" forum, claiming to be willing to discuss sexual assault on campus. Instead of having an open dialogue aimed at creating solutions, it was
wielded as a political smokescreen with the intent of convincing us they were actually doing something. Instead of a conversation, we received a lecture. Don't buy it. Look at the evidence laid out before you: The Title IX Sexual Assault Training subcommittee, their failure to punish in cases where the accused has confessed, rewriting survivor's stories, and other actions that have yet to come to light.
The administration does not care about us. They care about getting money from donors. Since admitting the University has a problem would risk donors withholding money,
our problems are made to go away, instead of becoming solved. This is why we should be outraged.
My fellow students, our administration has betrayed us. They have chosen the almighty dollar over our safety. It is time to make our voices heard. It is time to speak up for survivors. It is time to be outraged. It is time to tell the administration to do their jobs, or find someone that will.

GMO crops safe for consumption and shouldn't be feared
Genetically modified organisms,
or GMOs, are a highly debated topic and you might see "GMO-free" stickers plastered on certain items in grocery stores. There is a fear surrounding GMOs which likely stems from the vague wording and a misunderstanding of the science behind them.
There are many varieties of GMOs, the most common being genetically modified crops like soybeans and corn. The crops are modified to be bigger and more likely to survive herbivory frost or other obstacles that could impede their growth.Because of
these advancements in science, GMOs are now feeding more people than unmodified crops ever could.
Jon Entine, a contributor for Forbes magazine, wrote in his Sept.17 column. "Although there have been more than 2,000 studies documenting that biotechnology does not pose an unusual threat to human health and genetically modified foods are as safe or safer than conventional or organic foods, questions remain in the minds of many consumers."
By Jenny Stern
@jenlikeswhales
The science has been ignored.
A recent study by Alison Van Eennaam and Amy E. Young.
scientists from the Department of Animal Science at the University of California, Davis spanning over 29 years of livestock health data for 100 billion animals, has proved what scientists have been reporting for several years now — genetically modified organisms have no negative impact on health. Because their study spanned such a long period of time, their observations included
In a society where science is ignored for trends and unsupported fear, there is little room for progress. The current research supports that GMOs are safe for consumption. However because the science is not effectively communicated or reasonably received media outlets are able to capitalize on fear and
cattle health data 13 years before genetically modified feed was introduced as well as data on the cattle after they were fed genetically modified crops. The study also proved that eating animals fed with genetically modified feed had no effect on nutritional value for human consumption.
create unsubstantiated arguments that lead to unwarranted debate about the safety of these products.
The social justice issues and animal ethics that accompany the broader issue of completely accepting GMOs will require more than just science. This issue will be solved one piece at a time and the safety facet of this issue is no longer a question, but rather should be an accepted fact.

The warm smell of coffee that fills Alchemy Coffee is now paired with the fresh scent of baked goods, a new addition to the shop since it has added Bake House to its title. After a successful first year with just a coffee menu, shop owner Ben Farmer and his partner Joni Alexander added a bakery inside the shop.
"The bakery helps solidify Alchemy," Alexander said. "An equal amount of people come for the food as for the coffee."
Alexander had been baking off-site for the shop for the past year. She said her items had been selling so well that it became evident a bakery addition was needed.
"The cupcakes are one of my
Kelley was originally hired to be a barista but became an assistant baker as the success of the bakery grew. She said she grew up baking with her mother and grandmother, and her kitchen was always full of good food.

Alexander said the ingredients are always purchased fresh from local farmers to support the community that supports her in return. Alexander bakes with no preservatives and uses as few ingredients as possible.
Cookies are just some of the baked goods that Alchemy offers in Bake House, the newest addition to its shop.
"The style of baking I do is Southern French baking."
Pie, cookies, granola bars, bread, cakes, cinnamon rolls, jams and more can be found on the menu. Sandwiches on homemade biscuits were added to the menu last week. Alexander says the menu changes often so that nobody will get bored of the food.
Alexander said she did not grow up with a love for baking. Rather, throughout years of traveling, cooking shows were the only TV show she could follow in different languages which sparked her interest. Now, she does extensive research on recipes she would like to make. After finding a base recipe, she then tweaks them to make the final product her own.
The Merc recently added Alexander's pies to its store. It already carried Alchemy coffee and approached Alexander about bringing her pies to their store. The first 20 pies to hit the store sold out within 24 hours. The flavors of the pies at The Merc change every

Local musicians open new recording studio
DYLAN GUTHRIE
@dvlangelo785
Anthony Edmondson, Chris Maddox and Marty Mootz weren't pleased with existing recording options in Lawrence, so the three long-term area residents decided to create their own. The trio recognized the need for an outlet and created a space for musicians to record their ideas, so they opened a recording studio in northwest Lawrence called Attic Traffic Productions.
"We wanted to defeat all the bad recordings we've heard that people spend a lot of money on," Edmondson said. "It was our passion and we wanted to weed out people getting screwed over and engineers overrunning their projects."
Attic Traffic Productions is located at 1786 East 1200 Road, directly above a three-door garage, and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Edmondson says they will record anybody who seriously wants to record, and will work out a plan to fit their budget and needs.
"Good music should be

made and we all believe we are just as capable as anyone else." Edmondson said.
In the past six months, Lawrence musicians and bands such as Nicholas St. James, Bloom, Mustard, Cowgirl's Trainset, Tyler Gregory and Token Grass have all recorded studio sessions with Attic Traffic Productions, as well as Cliff Scurlock, ex-drummer of the Flaming Lips. Scurlock recently recorded at Attic Traffic Productions with Matt Owen and the Eclectic Tuba, a band based out of Birmingham, Ala.
Attic Traffic Productions has also been recording live shows for bands like Lawrence's cyberfunk group Mouth, which features University graduate student Jamie Anderson from Overland Park. Stephen Gunn, Mouth's drummer, said he was incredibly impressed by the new studio's professionalism.
"Working with Attic Traffic was great," Gunn said. "They showed up and were professionals at the show, and they worked the entire show to make sure it kept sounding good. Some people will set up their gear and not touch it the rest of the night."
The scope of Attic Traffic Productions is wide. In addition to studio and live recordings, Attic Traffic Produc

One of Deer's former bosses and long-time friend, Sarah Jane Russell, said Deer deserved the grant for all of her efforts and hard work.
Alumna named MacArthur Fellow
DELANEY REYBURN
@DelaneyReyburn
Native American women living on reservations suffer one of the highest per capita rates of violent crime in the world, according to Sarah Deer. Deer, who attended the University for part of her undergraduate degree, as well as law school, has been named a MacArthur Fellow by the MacArthur Foundation because of her hopes to change just that. The award recognizes her strides to improve Native American women's restricted access to resources that prosecute crimes based on sexual, domestic and gender violence.
A member of the Muscogee Creek Nation of Oklahoma,
The prestigious award, given to individuals for outstanding qualities, has presented Deer with a $625,000, no-strings-attached grant for her advocacy in tribal and federal law, specifically her work with abused Native women. Deer said she can keep doing what she's been doing, but with less financial hardship. Deer said she focuses on the intersection of Federal Indian Law and the rights of victims of crime.
Deer has initiated efforts into adequately protecting victims of physical and sexual abuse in Indian country. She is progressively shaping the support and protection of Native women by standing up for their rights through the legal system.
shocked," Deer said. "I never thought something like that would happen to me and I had to keep it a secret. I had to kind of keep my excitement to myself, I was only allowed to tell my husband."
Deer was born in Silver Spring, Md., but moved to Kansas when she was only a year old and grew up in Wichita. She transferred to the University as a junior where she received her Bachelor of Arts. Her interest in women's issues began as an undergrad when she worked for the GaDuGi SafeCenter. Deer continued to the University's School of Law where she was better able to execute her passion for advocacy.
"Sarah has always had such a passion for helping Native women and working to resolve bigger issues," Russell said.
"I started volunteering there right when I got to Lawrence and working with these amazing women that had survived a really horrible experience was inspirational to me and I wanted to be in a position to provide more support," Deer said. In 2013, Deer initiated the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act restored much of the authority that was stripped
from tribal governments. This gives tribal courts the power to prosecute non-Native American citizens who assault Native spouses or dating partners or violate a protection order on tribal lands.
The MacArthur Foundation was established by two philanthropists to fund a variety of different programs in the United States and abroad. Deer said they give these fellowships annually to between 20 and 25 people and that the grant is paid out over the course of five years. Currently, Deer is a full-time law professor at the William Mitchell College of Law and raises awareness regarding Native women's issues. Deer says she spends much of her time lobbying on Capitol Hill for legal changes in order to help these women live better lives.
"I never thought something like that would happen to me and I had to keep it a secret."
Being named a MacArthur Fellow is a fairly secretive process, Deer said. She said she still doesn't know who nominated her to this day. "You must be nominated to become a fellow, but the people who can nominate are selected by the foundation to avoid an overload of nominees," Deer said.
The MacArthur Fellow grant came as quite a surprise to Deer. The grant was announced to her in early September, but she said she had to keep it a secret, despite her excitement, for a few weeks.

tions has also been working on the film "God Grant Me," premiering Oct. 16 at Liberty Hall.
Maddox said he hadn't slept in three days because they were on a tight deadline to get the film ready to submit to Sundance Music Festival, along with 20 other festivals across the country.
Despite their eclectic array of artistic products, music remains their first priority. Maddox, Edmondson and Mootz are all serious musicians themselves — all three perform in Lawrence regularly.
"All being musicians, we know what things are supposed to sound like," said Mootz, a guitar player from Kansas City, Kan.
In addition to musical expertise, they also describe their studio as being a relaxed atmosphere, complete with a full-service kitchen.
Mootz said that comfortability adds to the music creation process. He described other recording studios as feeling as if he were in a hospital, with rigid rules and a sterile vibe.
"Maybe if you're lucky, we'll cook you wings," Edmondson said. "You can come out here and bring a six-pack, relax and do your album."
"Ultimately (Attic Traffic is) about comfort," Mootz said. "You can come be yourself, get comfortable and play and let the music flow how it would in any other setting."

THE DAILY DEBATE
Will the Royals win the World Series this year?
By GJ Melia
@gjmelia
"YES"
The 2014 Kansas City Royals have been an inconsistent team that
is barely batting well enough to win and rely heavily on elite pitching and fielding to get the job done.
But none of that matters now because it's the playoffs and strange things can happen. You can say that for any team, in any sport, but it specifically holds true for this Royalts team.
Kansas City has been consistently strange this season. Strange for having two winning streaks of eight or more games. Strange for having five losing streaks of four or more games, just like the Royals have done.
From July 22 to Aug. 27, the Royals went 26-8. That was by far the best record in the MLB over that time period, and vaulted them over Detroit in the AL Central by as many as five games. Following that streak, they dropped their next four, all to non-playoff teams.
The Royals have had a sort of magic following them throughout the year. I call it magic because I don't believe there is another way to describe it. And if you look at it, it's not that crazy.
Gordon then smashed a towering home run over the rightfield wall giving the Royals a 2-1 win in walk-off fashion.
In a game on Aug. 26 against the Minnesota Twins, Royals radio broadcaster Denny Matthews, who has been with the team since 1969, described this so-called magic. The Twins held a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth. Kansas City's hitting had been poor until that point, with a total of three hits the entire night.
Shortstop Alcides Escobar was able to get on base, and Alex Gordon came up to bat next. Before Gordon stepped into the batter's box, Matthews said, "If this is your year, these are the games you win."
As Matthews says, this kind
championship, things have to go your way no matter how talented a team is. Everything has to be clicking in a title run.
As Matthews sa of magic only belongs to a few select teams. And in any sport, to win a
It seems to be the only logical explanation to a seemingly illogical pattern the team has followed this year. A team catching fire near the end of the year is dangerous to anyone it faces.
The Royals have been a team of streaks, and in their last 30 games they are 15-15, which hasn't been one of the best this season. But if the Royals' season points to anything, it's that sooner rather than later this team will go on a tear like the multiple we've seen this season, and the postseason is the perfect time for it.
If Kansas City can get hot and go on a winning streak like the season has shown, there's no limit to how far this team can go in the postseason.
Edited by Ben Carroll
"NO"
By Griffin Hughes @GriffinJHughes
It's Blue October for the first time in 29 years, and wouldn't it be the perfect storybook ending to the tale of the former longest playoff drought if the Royals ran the table and hoisted the Commissioner's Trophy in November?
Unfortunately, and it pains me to say this, the Royals are simply not powerful enough on offense to sustain a deep playoff run.
The Royals are last in the American League in home runs. For 162 games, the inability to hit home runs may not matter, but in the playoffs, the ability to hit the long ball becomes invaluable. Since 2010, only one team has won the World Series while finishing outside the top six in its league in home runs.
However, everyone knows
pitching wins championships, and the Royals have one of the best pitching staffs in the AL. Well, one of the best bullpens anyway. However, who are they going to have to face? The As have potentially the best pitching staff in the majors, with a 3.30 ERA, opponents' batting average of .233 and fewer than 2,000 total bases allowed.
VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT KANSAN.COM
All those marks are ahead of the Royals. The only advantage the boys from KC have is in their bullpen: the Royals lead the AL in save percentage and are third in saves. But in a winner-take-all game they may get blown out before lockdown reliever Wade Davis and the bullpen even get a shot at the game.
Awaiting the Royals, if they do advance, is one of the fastest and most consistent offenses in the bigs, the Los Angeles Angels. To even advance past the As game, however, James Shields will have to
pitch the game of his life, and the Royals will have to conquer one of the hottest pitchers
I don't see the Royals escaping even the first game with the As. Lester is too hot right now and the Royals don't have an offense that can disrupt him. Even if they manage to gut it out in KC, they will move on to face Mike Trout and the powerful Angels offense. There's no way the Royals get out of that series as the Angels score more runs than anyone in the AL. The Angels' .323 on-base percentage is tied for third. No amount of bullpen power can compensate for a team that puts up nearly five runs a game.
in the AL. Jon Lester is the projected starter for the As, and he's 3-1 with a 2.46 ERA and 29 strikeouts in his last four starts. He's given up eight earned runs in all of September, and his 2.46 ERA is good for fourth in the AL.
I would love to sit here and say the Royals' bullpen will take them to the promised land, but unfortunately for the Royals faithful, it's not in the cards this year.

Football film review: A look back at Saturday's loss
DAN HARMSEN
@udk_Dan
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME Kansas junior running back DeAndre Mann led what little charge the Kansas offense had in the shutout loss. The junior accounted for 86 of the offense's 313 total yards, averaging 4.9 yards per carry, largely out of sheer willpower. Mann took on the teeth of the Texas defense and refused to go down after initial contact, pushing piles all afternoon long.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME
four gave Kansas' offensive line' all it could ask for. Jordan Hicks was there to clean up whatever got through. Notching 11 tackles, Hicks proved to be too much, particularly in the fourth quarter. With the Jayhawks trailing 13-0 heading into the final period, Hicks intercepted Montell Cozart's first passing attempt, setting up a Texas field goal. Five of his 11 tackles came when it mattered most, during a quarter in which Kansas mustered just 31 total yards.
WHO KANSAS COULDN'T CONTAIN
Kansas senior linebacker Michael Reynolds was integral to how Kansas actually recorded more tackles for loss than Texas, 8 to 7. Reynolds added two of his own and registered a sack and a quarterback hurry. The senior sacked Tyrone Swoopes on a key third-and-9 with less than three minutes left in the third quarter and Kansas trailing just 13-0. On third-and-4 near the start of the quarter, Reynolds stayed at home and contained Swoopes as he scrambled for the sidelines, forcing Texas to punt. The play saved the Kansas offense several minutes for a comeback attempt, but that mattered little.

DEFENSE SUMMARY
away on Swoopes' 16-yard touchdown pass to John Harris.
Leaving this section blank would adequately summarize Saturday's offensive output. Aside from some tough running from Mann and Corey Avery, the offense started slow and didn't speed up. Montell Cozart looked to pass first Saturday, as he always has. His 31 attempts found Jayhawk hands only 12 times and Longhorn hands four times. When Cozart did tuck and run, he routinely strode out of bounds short of the sticks to the tune of 1.7 yards per carry. The offensive line was outmatched, but it gave Cozart a few chances that he failed to capitalize on.
means does Texas have a good offense, but any time a defense holds an opposing Big 12 offense to 3.1 yards per carry is encouraging. The defense did what it needed to do to win, allowing just 23 points, especially considering it faced drives that started at the Kansas 18-, 13-, 29- and 27-yard lines.
Not enough words can be said about the Kansas defense's efforts, which directly contrasted with the offense. By no

Potential candidates for head coaching job
SHANE JACKSON
@jacksonshane3
Kansas Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger had enough. After a 6-22 record in just over two seasons, Zenger has cut ties with coach Charlie Weis. This will be the third time Kansas will be in a coaching search since the firing of Mark Mangino in 2009. But unlike the previous two hires, don't expect a lot of big names highlighting this coaching search.
With a program that, in recent years, has yet to commit to one coach for more than a few seasons, I don't expect a lot of big names breaking down the door to coach the Jayhawks. But that doesn't mean there won't be a number of good candidates. Here are the five very likely candidates to become the next Kansas head coach. And, no, Mark Mangino is not on this list.
BOWEN
CLINT BOWEN: INTERIM HEAD
COACH - KANSAS
Bowen was named interim head coach after the Weis firing, and this is obviously a tryout for the permanent position. It would be hard to find anyone else who bleeds more crimson and blue than Bowen. After going to Lawrence High and rooting for the Jayhawks when he was younger, Bowen played defensive back for Kansas. He was first hired as an assistant in 2000 and eventually worked his way up to co-defensive coordinator in 2006. After short stints in North Texas and Western Kentucky, Bowen returned in 2012 where he has been defensive coordinator ever since.
BEATY
DAVID BEATY: WIDE RECEIVERS
COACH/RECRUTING COORDINATOR - TEXAS & AM
One of the biggest critiques with Kansas football is the lack of talent on the football field. A big name like Charlie Weis was supposed to change all that, but, actually, it remained the same. Beaty is considered one of the best recruiters in the country. He has locked down numerous five-star recruits and has great ties to the Lone Star State. To top it off, before he became a recruiting guru for the Aggies, Beaty coached at the University of Kansas. He was a wide receivers coach from 2008-09 and a co-offensive coordinator in 2011.
PRESIDENT
PETER J. HANCOCK
WARINNER
ED WARINNER: CO-OFFENSIVE
COORDINATOR/OFFENSIVE LINE
COACH - OHIO STATE
BECK
Like the previous candidate, Warinner doesn't have any head coaching experience at the collegiate level. But make no mistake, Warinner is ready to embrace the challenge. Just a couple years removed from being named one of the nation's hottest assistant coaching candidates, Warinner is currently sitting under Urban Meyer, learning his craft. Warriner has worked with four offenses that have led the nation in rushing. He served as offensive coordinator at Kansas for three years when Kansas averaged nearly 450 total yards back with Todd Reesing and company.
TIM BECK: OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR - NEBRASKA
A former high school football coach in Texas, Beck would be a rather boring hire for the casual fan. He has yet to have a head coaching gig at the collegiate level, but has done wonders as the offensive coordinator in Nebraska. This year, his Cornhuskers rank as one of the best offenses in the country. He has a strong recruiting platform in Texas, making him a good candidate. Before he went to Nebraska in 2008, Beck was a wide receivers coach at Kansas for three years.
FROST
SCOTT FROST: OFFENSIVE COOR-
DINATOR - OREGON
Unlike the previous candidates, Frost has no Kansas connection, making him an unlikely hire. Still, for an offense that ranks as one of the worst in all of college football, hiring an offensive guru like Frost seems like a no-brainer. Frost became the offensive coordinator in 2013 and has helped lead the Ducks to one of the most fearsome offenses in the country. Before his promotion to offensive coordinator, he served as the wide receivers coach and has brought in a number of high-caliber recruits in his time at Oregon. He might be relatively new to big-time coaching, but for a program that was outscored 719-267 in conference games under Weis, Frost might just be the perfect fit.

Sporting KC rally falls short in 3-2 loss to Revolution
CHRISTIAN HARDY
@HardyNFL
As Jermaine Jones put through his first goal in a New England Revolution uniform, he ran to the sideline with his hand cupped to his ear, listening for a rowdy sold-out Sporting Kansas City crowd of 19,522.
He didn't get any of it. Suddenly, at Sporting Park, you could hear a pin drop.
The Revolution and its crown jewel had silenced a Kansas City crowd for the first time since 2008, when it last took down Sporting Kansas City in Kansas City.
It was Jones' goal in the 85th minute that sealed the team's 3-2 win on Friday and placed New England even with Kansas City in the Eastern Conference with four games to go.
Sporting Kansas City walked away with what it saw as a winning effort, but in the record books, it's the team's third consecutive home loss. Kansas City trailed 2-0 after the first half, but efforts from midfielder Paulo Nagamura and forward Dom Dwyer tied it up.
"If you give him a little bit of space, he's going to rocket it," Revolution manager Jay Heaps said of Jones' go-ahead goal. "That was something special. To be a game-winner in a tight game, in a big playoff impaction game, it was huge."
"We deserved at least a point tonight," Dwyer said. "We came out flying in the second half. It was a great reaction from the first half, and I think we were unlucky not to get a third or fourth goal. Things just didn't quite
It was Kansas City that controlled the first half possession 63 percent to 37 percent, but the team had no real offensive firepower. It certainly wasn't a bad half, but New England took advantage of its chances on two counterattacks to go into the half leading 2-0, which seemed insurmountable.
C
bounce our way tonight."
"You've got to go forward, and you've got to take positives out of the game."
MATT BESLER Captain
But Nagamura came out in the second half to give Kansas City the firepower it needed.
A through ball from defender Kevin Ellis put Nagamura all alone to the right of the goal, and Nagamura lifted it over New England goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth's head and into the side of the net to make it 2-1. Minutes later, Nagamura took a ball from Toni Dovale, headed it into the air, and Dwyer tapped the game-tying goal into the back of the net — his 20th goal of the season.
"He's a fighter, he's a battler," Dwyer said of Nagamura. "He's going to be that guy who's standing right behind you when you're going to war. ... I can't speak highly enough of him today."
Over the next 30 minutes, Kansas City had countless other chances, as it put the
Revolution on its heels with nine shots in the second half. The crowd was exhilarated with some of the best play it had seen from the team in weeks, if not months, but Sporting couldn't get one in the back of the net.
"If you play the way that you played tonight, it's not only that you're going to be competitive in this league, but you're going to win, and you're going to win a lot," Kansas City manager Peter Vermes said. "At times, things don't go your way."
With six wins in its past seven games, it's no surprise New England was able to pull out a victory in Kansas City, especially against a team that has lost five of its last six MLS games. But it's still a game this team should've won if it wants to repeat its 2013 playoff success, and it knows that.
"We don't like losing," Sporting Kansas City defender Seth Sinovic said. "That was a big Eastern Conference game and we feel like we let one slip away there."
we let one slip away, then Kansas City has let three separate games against New England slip away this season, as the Revolution swept the season series. If standings hold with four games to go, Kansas City is set to meet the Revolution again in the opening round of the MLS playoffs.
"It stings, it hurts especially the way we played in the second half." Kansas City captain Matt Besler said. "You've got to go forward, and you've got to take positives out of the game. I'm hoping we get them again."

QUOTE OF THE DAY

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When were official statistics first kept in the NFL?
A: 1992
Pro Football Hall of Fame
THE MORNING BREW
The final score is the only statistic that matters
One quote stuck out among the rest in Charlie Weis' final press conference as the
O
"Stats are for losers." Weis said.
Kansas coach.
"Stats are for losers," Weis said. Weis didn't leave it at that though. He went on to say, "There's a lot of positive stats out there that I could say were positive. The bottom line is when you lose the turnover ratio like that, you're going to lose most games."
That wasn't the end of it. Just two questions later, Weis brought up the "stats are for losers" bit again.
"I know that you guys hear what I just said in there. I mean stats are for losers," Weis said. "I could sit there and tell you we converted about 50 percent on third down. I could tell you DeAndre [Mann] ran the ball really well. I could tell you we intended to run the ball a whole bunch of times and had moderate success."
By Amie Just
@amie just
Reporters and fans were chomping at the bit. How dare Weis say something like that. That's just it — he said it, but he didn't coin the phrase.
Back in those days, the Patriots were the cream of the crop in the NFL, winning three Super Bowls in four years.
The phrase is originally attributed to football great Vince Lombardi. Since then several coaches have said it. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick said "stats are for losers" on an almost cliche basis.
An argument could be made that Weis picked the phrase up from his former colleague.
It's been documented that Belichick has publicly said the phrase when Weis was still on the Patriots' payroll.
The meaning behind
THE BREW
the phrase? There are hundreds and hundreds of statistics in football games. In most football games there are statistics that reflect poorly on teams and there are statistics that make teams look good.
Even though there were positive statistics for Kansas coming out of the Texas game, Weis throwing out the "stats are for losers" line probably wasn't the best idea after having a 6-22 record as Kansas' head coach.
Weis was right though. Even though
Kansas didn't put anything on the scoreboard, some statistics reflected well for Kansas. The Kansas defense held the Longhorns to just 26 yards of total offense in the third quarter. The defense didn't allow any rusher more than 50 total yards. No matter how you slice it,
+
stats are going to reflect both good and bad things.
When Belichick said the phrase, he didn't just leave it by itself. In 2010, he added, "The final score is for winners."
Weis definitely left that part off in his postgame press conference Saturday, because the final score reflected 23 times in the opponents' favor.

COMMENTARY
Weis' firing won't change how Kansas plays
By Blair Sheade sports@kansan.com
On the surface, Kansas football made a drastic change by
firing former coach Charlie Weis after 28 games. In reality, the football program will be the same team as defensive coordinator and interim head coach Clint Bowen replaces Weis.
The Weis dismissal shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. This season, Weis couldn't help turn this team around because he delegated all the control to his coordinators.
What did the one-time offensive genius do for the Jayhawks this season? Weis didn't design any systematic or schematic advantages for the offense. Instead, Weis gave advice to his coordinators, held players to a high standard and took the blame for every loss.
After offensive coordinator John Reagan was hired to take over the play calling, it was clear that Weis would no longer be involved with the offense. Not only did Weis give up his power of running the offense, but also gave Reagan complete control of the offensive personnel, meaning depth-chart decisions.
If Weis were fired after the Central Michigan game, the Texas outcome wouldn't have been any different. Reagan made every offensive decision including the four attempts to convert on fourth down, which Kansas was unsuccessful on all, but that wasn't the only problem on Saturday that Weis had no control over.
Weis will be missed solely as the team's scapegoat. He took all the flack without having any participation in the Saturday outcomes.
Reagan continued to call passing plays after sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart threw three interceptions in the first half, and Weis was to blame. Reagan failed to convert on a fourth and goal after calling a fade route to junior wide receiver Nigel King, and Weis was to blame. Reagan's offense failed to score against Texas, and Weis was to blame.
The Weis fire was a public relation move, and someone needed to take the fall for the shutout loss against Texas. Weis had the target on his back from the start.
This weekend's game against West Virginia won't be much different from the Weis era. Reagan will still run the offense and assistant head coach Dave Campo will help run the defense with Bowen. The only person missing is the 58-year-old man standing at the 38-yard line.
Now that the torch has passed from Weis to Bowen, a lot of pressure has been put on Bowen for the nine remaining games.
Associate Athletic Director Jim Marchiony said the athletic department doesn't have any candidates yet, but if Bowen wins more than one conference game, he may stick around for one more year.

A Kansas man takes charge of Kansas football
Kansas interim head football coach Clint Bowen points to his wife while answering a question during a news conference in Lawrence on Monday. Bowen will replace Charlie Weis, who was fired Sunday after Saturday's 23-0 loss to Texas.
STELLA LIANG
@stelly liang
In 1993, then-defensive back Clint Bowen, a Lawrence native, led the Kansas defense with 114 tackles.
In 1996, Bowen started his coaching career as a graduate assistant for the lajahawks.
On Monday, Bowen made his first public appearance as interim head coach for Kansas football.
"KU football and the University of Kansas have given me so much in my life personally," Bowen said. "I've never known a day in my life that I wasn't a KU football fan."
He brings with him 19 total years in the Kansas program, and said he is grateful for this opportunity.
"I grew up a Lawrence guy," Bowen said. "I grew up coming to KU football games, so to be standing here today is truly one of the greatest honors I've ever had in my life."
Bowen will be the coach for the next nine weeks, likely serving as an audition for the full-time position, though Bowen has stated he's more focused on the present than the future.
"Honestly, I don't feel any pressure," Bowen said.
With his experience in the program, Bowen said he believes the answers to the program's problems will come from within. He said there is a blueprint at Kansas to turn the program around.
In 2004, under Mark Mangino, Kansas had a 4-7 record; Bowen was the special teams
and safeties coach at the time. In 2007, with Bowen as co-defensive coordinator, the Jayhawks amassed a 12-1 record, including an Orange Bowl victory.
"I've never known a day in my life that I wasn't a KU football fan."
C "I've
CLINT BOWEN Interim head coach
Bowen also wants the players to appreciate the history of Kansas football. Instilling a sense of Jayhawk pride is one of his biggest goals. He also wants his players to represent
the University and win back the support of fans and former players.
"We need to, in our way, investigate the KU family again," Bowen said.
His other goals include integrity, playing hard and smart, all while having fun and bringing energy to games.
"One of my guys makes a play, you've got to celebrate," Bowen said. "You've got to have fun."
From the energy standpoint, players don't have to look far for an example. Bowen has been known to be expressive and celebratory during games, something unlikely to change with the new title.
Coupled with his optimism, Bowen knows this is a time for transition.
"Coaching football is not a fairytale world," Bowen said. "It's real families. It's real lives that are affected by decisions that have to be made sometimes."
Despite his years in the program, Bowen has no head-coaching experience. It remains to be seen if he can show enough progress to keep the job. He is the third person to have the reins in a little over four years.
What is certain is that a Kansas man with deep Jayhawk roots is living out his dream right now.
"Anyone who would consider this a stepping stone is an idiot," Bowen said. "This is a destination job."

Royals fever spreads across campus
SCOTT CHASEN
@SChasenKU
Most students at the University had not been born the last time the Kansas City Royals made the playoffs.
This season, the students finally get to witness one. For the first time since 1985, the Royals will participate in postseason baseball.
PARTY
LOVE ITS
1985!
It's been a long 29-year wait for many followers of the team. However, that lack of success hasn't kept all fans away.
"I've been a Royals fan all my life," said Tom Fehr, a senior from Leawood. "I've never seen a team even close to this competitive, let alone a team in postseason play."
Kansas City Royals players and coaching staff celebrate after the Royals defeated the Chicago White Sox 3-1 in Chicago on Friday. The Royals will be in the playoffs this season for the first time since 1985.
"Back in 1978 when the Yankees and Red Sox had game 163, our high school played it over the loudspeakers."

PAUL HANSON Professor
Indeed the reach of the Royals extends well past the student body. Professors at the University are certainly not immune to Royals fandom. Among those professors is Paul Hanson, a professor of organic chemistry, who has been a fan of the Royals for the past 20 years.
"It has truly been a magical year," Hanson said. "Royals fans should feel blessed no matter what happens [tonight] and beyond."
Certainly this season has been atypical of those in recent history. Since winning the World Series in 1985, Kansas City had an overall record of 2,028-2,437 before going 89-73 in 2014. The Royals ended the year one game away from tying the Detroit
Tigers for the lead in the American League Central, which marked the first time since 1994 (20 seasons) the Royals were within five games of winning the division.
The Royals also saw substantial growth off the field
in the stands to be specific. Kauffman Stadium posted its best attendance numbers since 1991, with more baseball still to come.
With the game being played on Tuesday at 7:07 p.m., some students are facing a conflict:
choosing between making the drive out to Kauffman Stadium — which can take more than an hour on game days — and attending afternoon classes. However, Hanson recalled a situation in which it wasn't necessarily a case of picking one or the other.
"Back in 1978 when the Yankees and Red Sox had game 163, our high school played it over the loudspeakers," Hanson said. "We [listened while we] were dissecting frogs in biology lab."
Hanson echoed the sentiment, adding he would "definitely listen and watch" as the Royals face off against the Oakland Athletics.
short of having an exam, I plan on being at every home playoff game," Fehr said.'
From Fehr's perspective as a student, however, there really wasn't much to debate.
Ace pitcher James Shields will get the start for the Royals, facing off against Oakland lefty Jon Lester in a game where the winner advances
to the divisional round of the playoffs, and the loser is eliminated.
There is certainly a lot of buzz about the Royals on campus, as students and faculty have made their plans to watch the American League Wild Card game. However, Fehr did remark he still had one thing left to do.
"I need to figure out which of my shirts is the luckiest," Fehr said.
